When the man on the motorcycle pulled alongside the convicted gangster Niccolo Ingarao on a Palermo street and shot him four times in the chest and once in the head, he murdered the most studious Mafia boss of modern times.
It emerged yesterday that when Mr Ingarao, 46, was not barking orders at underlings, extorting protection money or counting the takings as the gang boss of the Porta Nuova neighbourhood, he was an avid student of philosophy.
Twenty-four hours before his execution-style killing, seen as a bloody move in the power struggle that followed the arrest of the capo di capi Bernardo Provenzano, Ingarao took an exam in the history of philosophy at Palermo University. His professor at the university, Pietro di Giovanni, said he did very well.

Where else do ya piss?
from below:
Property is a pretty good measure of wealth. Henry George saw this years ago ("Progress and Poverty" 1879). The problem is that so many are excluded from paying tax (the catholic church is the second largest landowner in NYC). Plus public work projects like interstate highways have removed massive amount of property from the tax roles. For example, when they put I-75 through Dayton, Ohio, they grabbed a huge amount of riverfront property and devalued anything near it. Why shouldn't the government have to pay taxes on its assets and property? Because we still believe in government as rulers who can own us rather than us owning them.
Nobody piss in the koolaid, please.
Ooops.
Too late.

The English language and secret history
On page 81 of today’s Guardian weekly entertainment guide, BBC2’s ‘Rome’ is heartily recommended: “More sexy toga antics with a heavy dose of shagging, carousing and duffings.”
No doubt the Guardian’s affluent, educated readership will be aware that “duffings” means “beatings”. The verb “to be duffed up” means “to be beaten up.”
However, I wonder how many readers will be aware that this verb derives from the activities of Douglas V. Duff (1901 – 197
.
Who he?
He was a state terrorist employed by the U.K. government during the British Mandate in Palestine. His particular expertise was torturing Arabs.
The British police chief in Jerusalem, Douglas Duff, described such methods in his memoir published in 1953. He tells how to apply physical force without leaving marks.

Gordon Brown has promised to set out "an economic road map" to build peace in the Middle East.
Speaking at the final Labour leadership hustings in London, the Chancellor promised new investment for the Palestinian territories.
Mr Brown, who takes over later this month as Prime Minister, said that he still believed that there could be a "two states" solution to the Middle East, despite the recent violence in Gaza.
However, he also emphasised the importance of tackling poverty in the Palestinian territories if there was to be a lasting settlement.

Q. Why is he doing this? Why is Reid doing this?
LIEBERMAN: I have no idea. Then to say that Petraeus is out of touch? I mean, Harry Reid in Washington says David Petraeus, who's in Baghdad, away from his family, heroically trying to rally our forces and succeed over in Iraq... that he's out of touch? I mean, it's just - the danger here - my colleagues who have been opposed to the war have said "we're opposed to the war, but we support our troops." But when you start to attack the top two generals, you know, that's... that's wrong.
That's been the standard right-wing line for a couple of days now -- if you disapprove of a general, then you're necessarily anti-military and deserve to have your patriotism questioned. Yesterday, the Republican National Committee issued a statement saying that Reid "attack[ed] our military." Conservatives online are following along, insisting without reason that Reid made "anti-military slurs."
Since when is it heresy to question the competence of military leaders? Pace's tenure has, at times, been rocky. His relationship with congressional leaders has, at times, been awkward. For that matter, Petraeus' judgment has come under question of late. There need not be a rule that military leaders must remain criticism-free at all times.
Indeed, if generals must be exempted from criticism, and those who spend their lives in military service should not be questioned, why is it that John McCain offered some harsh words, in public, for the last general to command U.S. troops in Iraq? Opposing Gen. George Casey's confirmation as the Army's chief of staff, McCain cited the general's "unrealistically rosy" assessments and "failed leadership" and told him: "I question seriously the judgment that was employed in your execution of your responsibilities in Iraq. And we have paid a very, very heavy price in American blood and treasure because of what is now agreed to by literally everyone as a failed policy."
Was this outrageous, too? Did conservatives condemn McCain for levying a personal attack on a general in a time of war?
Or is it more likely the case that Republicans and Lieberman are desperate to manufacture scandals, whether the facts support them or not?

Death comes to us all in the end, but yesterday it paid a special visit to the Stoneleigh Park exhibition centre, outside Coventry, for the biggest-ever gathering of the British funeral industry. And the message it came to deliver was clear: reaping doesn't always have to be grim.
"I'll never forget the first time I exhibited these ones," said Mary Tomes, of Colourful Coffins, gesturing at a display of caskets covered in vivid nature photographs, sports team colours, and sparkling holographic foil. (Another vendor, a few feet away, was exhibiting a coffin designed to look like a KitKat.) "I went to a big meeting, took them along, and when I unveiled them, everybody just sat and stared. Nobody said anything for ages. My husband said, 'Maybe you better sit down.' But eventually someone asked how much they cost, and after that, it all just took off."

I'll just observe that people need to watch what they say in times such as these.
That wheezing sound you may have heard this week amid the chaos in Gaza, the carnage in Baghdad and the conflict in Lebanon was the final gasps of the Bush Doctrine in its death throes. Just two years after the President and his neo-conservative allies basked in the glow of their self-proclaimed moment of triumph, the Bush Doctrine of no safe havens for terrorists, American preventive war and democracy promotion is discredited, discarded - and dead.
For the story, see:

Not only does my congressman have groovy video on his site, he apparently has a "presence" on Second Life.
And he always sends one of his aides to speak at the big peace rallies.
Tena says she has made her point and so is going off line for awhile.

Speaking of supporting the troops, the one thing the Dems have managed to do quite nicely is box in the GOP when it comes to raising the VA budget.

That Lennon video, the closeups of his singing that song, there's a kind of presence at work behind those eyes.
He has a kind of intensity to it, a passion, an abiding vision to that song.
The sax note they hold on the chorus transcends the atmosphere of that venue...
It's not a finished work, that song and its theme. It's like the energy you would see in concert at the hands of an impressionist in Central park. There's water and the wind's face breathes on it, seasons spin like yarns through the trees and grass, people walk together or in the company of their own thoughts, kids play and vendors converse with customers...
Somewhere there is sunlight set in stone, "IMAGINE" is its message, and the suns' warm brilliance reflects the same power as the weather and time shape its hardy surface like all being shapes our souls...

Her blog posts have been rather incoherent. She makes a bit more sense in her comments section, but given that she really doesn't put anything into context, if you had no awareness of what made her go off in the first place, you'd have virtually no idea about what the hell she's rambling about.

Every morning I get up and wait for Atrios to give me instructions, he never does. I did manage to hem and hang the kitchen curtains today, sans instructions.
I think the larger point Tena is making is that many people come to the blogs for the commenters as much as anything and we thus should be thinking twice before we make someone like Atrios rich and famous and powerful. And as she points out, all the A bloggers are white males who don't necessarily represent her pov. I guess she forgot Gilly. And really, do we know? At least that's what I get out it.

Not defending Nifong, mind you. Just wondering where the outrage is when DA's do the same and worse to poor blacks and Mexicans. The Innocence Project (if that's the right name) has detailed hundreds of egregious cases of prosecutions, none of which have caused a DA to be disbarred. I'm just wondering why Nifong is getting it so publicly. And it's gotta be because of who he prosecuted.

Didn't say they were; but why him?
In Texas, the only time I ever saw a lawyer disbarred was for breach of fiduciary duty (screwing with the client's money, basically). And it had to be pretty damned egregious to make that happen.
DA's screw over defendants constantly. It usually isn't caught because they have court appointed lawyers with no time, no money, and no means to investigate the prosecution. Is Nifong worse than any other DA in the country? I think not. Is he guiltier? I think not. He got caught. That doesn't make him innocent.
But it sure doesn't mean "the system worked." 'Cause had it been a black fraternity, and a white girl as victim, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

In that process is a frustration that builds and makes people contentious and more than a little depressed. Basically this community is undergoing an adjustment. A healthy thing in some ways.
Oh, you are definitely not of the Body!

Sure we would. Just not until after the executions.
Look, I honestly don't understand how anyone can not *get* that the violent threats and comments that WGG has made here on several occasions could potentially be big trouble for Atrios.
Making a threat against the president is a crime. Punishable by imprisonment.
Intent matters, too.

I think the difference is that we're beginning to win a few and don't need to be a monolith against this regime anymore. That was the glue. Now the normal differences amongst us will start coming out.
Look, I love Steve Simels, but he hates Hillary with a passion and I like her. These contentious issues will become more pronounced. It will be interesting to see how we handle it and if we remain a community.

Yes. Please post a YouTube video of you getting baked. And send some pot to me.

How could you not love Steve? The difference is that Steve won't hate on you because you are on opposite ends of the spectrum wrt to Hillary.
In the case with WGG, I can completely understand Atrios' decision.
I've been suggesting that we elevate the discourse for months. And I've been chastized for those comments. I've even received a few e-mails from people telling me to shut the fuck up - that I'm wrong. But I'm still here, and I still think we're a better community if we don't add the element of violence and hate in the comments section. That's just my two cents worth.
I'm not talking about the bawdy discussions, either - they're fun and almost Shakespearean at times. I'm talking about "I want the mother fucker DEAD" type discussions.

I feel the same way. I love lawyers cause I generally like the way they go after an issue. Breaking it down, researching, thinking, discussing. Atrios seems to be on the right track most of the time in much the same way. I don't agree with him all the time, but he's young yet, he'll come around.

Achieved in his rented apartment in Philly.... I'm afraid that there may be a slight misunderstanding of the nature of fame, fortune and power that accrues to an independent blogger, even one nominally on Soros' payroll.

However.

That's why I really wonder about the A list bloggers HATE you comment. That comes from out of nowhere in my estimation.
Well, I think I kind of, sort of, almost, maybe understand what she was attempting.
From what I gather, Jesus General layed into a blogger who made the mistake of quoting a racist attack on Steve Gilliard without comment. The General assumed that the blogger was a wingnut, whereas the reality was that she was actually a lefty who posted the quote assuming that her regular readers would understand that she really thought it was objectionable. Trouble was, the General didn't know her from Adam. I guess a lot of the General's readers went onto her blog and posted really nasty comments. She ultimately quit.
Thus, an A-List blogger's "cult" destroyed a less well known blogger, at least in tena's mind.
I think the "A-list bloggers hate you" comment was meant to discourage people from joining a blogger's "cult". That said, given that she doesn't put her "message" into any real context (without the links provided by people here, I wouldn't have known about the Jesus General hubub described above), it's hard to know what the hell she really means.
Funny how I've never noticed any mention of this "kerfuffle" at any of Mr. Guitar's three blogs.

I noticed that some of the comments on Tena's blog, too, were from people who felt that oftentimes, they'd comment here, and that they were ignored.
Some people don't like being ignored, I guess.
Hell, it's part of the blog game. Most posts many people make don't get responses. There have been times when I've posted and not had one response from anyone. It is what it is - I feel badly for the people who think that blog responses = ego strokes.
I like WGG, too, but I noticed that his posts at his blogs are much gentler in nature than his comments here.

Most interesting this talk about WGG and Tena. Been observing many a comment over the last couple of years by quite a number of handles and I'm not the least bit surprised. Sad fact is, over the last few years, this blog has become quite clannish. Seems that things started to drift to the darkside after the 2004 elections; my opinion of course. I still enjoy reading comment and adding my 2 cents worth every now and again, but the friendly atmosphere has long since evaporated. It's almost like walking into a bar full of repugs ready to pick a fight.

That's so fucking silly. When you've got hundreds of people online and people are in a discussion, they're not always going to respond to what you say. What, are they goddamned children who have to tug on an adult's sleeve and scream "CUSE ME, MISSER!"?
That was a lovely thunderstorm.

I think she's going through some sort of an epiphany, and it may be that she is moving away from blog commenting. I don't know, though.

That is quite an assumption. And not necessarily accurate.

My one thing I envy rich people for. At one time I was pretty flush. I used to help out my friends: I paid for my sister in law to go back to school, gave her a car, paid for the insurance - that sort of thing. It felt wonderful. (Did not tell anyone, it just FELT good)
In the last few years I have not had the means to be generous and that deprives me of something I truly enjoy. Maybe if Oprah likes the book she has in her possession (according to my publisher) then . . . That would be truly nice again.

Piss on ipods. Let's get back to real meat. The immigration bill, for one. A very bad idea, Immigration, even illegal immigration, is the Progressive's Achilles heel. Just look at the illogical mindless rot published on the editorial page of the NYT for starters. No logic, just demonizing anyone who disagrees. Isn't this what we despise about the rRpublicans? Read Bob Herbert's column in the NYT today for example. Teen employment has "disappeared" in this country, esp for minority kids, who need the jobs the most. Why? Illegals,in part, who will work for next to nothing, and who are easy to exploit. Don't we owe our black citizens more than this? Think about it, for Christ's sake.

Most likely because of the Woody thing as well. She told me I was "being junior high" because she assumed I held some deep secret as to why he was banned and that I observed he could afford to tone down the violent rhetoric.
Pretty much everybody in the Cult of Woody got very defensive when it was suggested he could change a little and maybe learn his lesson after a few bannings over the years. Lots of Appeals to Authority (bringing up his service, his "wisdom", how they roomed at EschaCon, etc) and evading the main point. Then the accusations of...clannishness, cliqueishness, cultishness, etc, soon followed.
Quite interesting. But I'm sure if I get banned people will act EXACTLY with the same sense of misplaced loyalty, what with my ability to control all my toadies.
But heck, I am not putting any pressure on y'all...

I'm betting after the primaries we're all pull together for whoever the nominee turns out to be. I certainly hope it is Gore, but if not Gore then Hillary.

She knows when to bite her tongue, and does it in a classy, gentle way.

I expect sometime in the future, that the smart people here that I respect highly will come to a conclusion, put their differences aside and put things back together.
I have no gripe with anyone. My point early on in this melodrama was that Atrios tried to lay down some ground rules, you know, the kind that would prevent him from getting thrown into jail under 18 U.S.C. 1001, and a couple of people interpreted that as "you're stampin' on my freedom of speech, man!"
Freedom of speech isn't an open-ended privilege, btw. Not to get all legalistic.
Anyway, this is Atrios's problem, not mine. As time passes, so do people's passions.
Think about it, for Christ's sake.

Very useful comment. Are you a Republican troll?
...said the guy no one has ever heard from before to someone that's here every day.
Perhaps. Most people here are east coast and city/state boundaries are quite imaginary compared to the west coast.
No, that's not what I meant.
Many of us, from across the country, have actually met and become friends in meatspace.
There is a certain relaxation of dialogue that comes along with that.
I said this the other evening, but I'll say it again:
The thing that miffs me about the newfound pleas for civility come after vitriolic attacks on the A List Bloggers.
I've had heated discussions with Tena about the lack of civility - specifically with regard to rhetoric that oozes with hatred and anger, and she basically told me that it's not democratic to harness free speech, and to go fuck myself. I won't go into the darker details, but they're pretty mean and ugly.
So I'm feeling a bit of a disconnect between the prior discusssions I've had with her and her recent pleas for civility.
And I fully expect someone out there to sign on anonymously and say that I'm being a nasty, mean bitch for bringing this up, but I reiterate what Gomez said yesterday: Her new message is right, but she's the wrong messenger.
...a-man is right, we've all seen extrajudicial effort to make examples out of liberals over free speech, whilst a republican making such statements would be ignored by authorities...
But I'm sure if I get banned people will act EXACTLY with the same sense of misplaced loyalty, what with my ability to control all my toadies.
Don't worry, wanker. I would immediately correct such person.
I think mena has been here since Tena left, as has Flory (a good friend of Tena's, I think).
Anyway, I enjoy reading what Atrios says and the comments on this blog, so that's where I stand, or sit.
Hey Dave
I'm an old-timer on Atrios! Just been away for a few months. And did you think Diane's comment contributed in any meaningful way to the topic?
Remember: being anti-immigration is NOT the same as being anti-immigrant. I think the country should limit immigration to the number of people who leave every year--about 200,000, and I don't care what color, creed or national origin they are. So no stigmatizing, please.
city/state boundaries are quite imaginary compared to the west coast.
Eh?
...atrios has a world cross-section here, at least a western vision of one.
I'm from Oregon.
