Of course they had to be the "victim' in all this. They never bothered to acknowledge what they did or even how bad we impacted them. I did find out that management stood by them, so as far as I'm concerned management OWNS their comments. They are just as complicit.

I have forgotten where I read that 'victimhood' as incorporated by the right is a very important part of their psyche. They NEED to be put down. That's why we hear about how evil liberals have been effing up the country even though it's been the Republicans in total control of the country for seven years and more.

I had a conversation with a wonderful woman the other day. She was talking about her time at a university and how her experience in college focused on community service and helping others. And how good that was for her in her career.
And I realized that she didn't have that underlying core of selfishness I hear in the wingnuts. The "screw you, I've got mine, pull up the ladder"
feeling.
She wanted to connect with others rather than disconnect.
It was so refreshing. And the fact that she was rich and successful made it even sweeter.

Like Cindy Sheehan doesn't have better things to do that to go after Morgan.

I had allies in the head of human resources (really!) and a big donor. Not everyone hated me - but a lot of them did.
I've also had employees who loathed me.....up to a point...then they would confess that they had hated me until they saw what I was trying to accomplish (accuracy, what we owed our clients) and saw the Light. Then, I wasn';t so bad after all

Pets Hurled Off Bridge in Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - Animal control workers seized dozens of dogs and cats from housing projects in the town of Barceloneta and hurled them from a bridge to their deaths, authorities and witnesses said Friday. Mayor Sol Luis Fontanez blamed a contractor hired to take the animals to a shelter.
"This is an irresponsible, inhumane and shameful act," he told The Associated Press.
Fontanez said the city hired Animal Control Solution to clear three housing projects of pets after warning residents about a no-pet policy. He said the city paid $60 for every animal recovered and another $100 for each trip to a shelter in the San Juan suburb of Carolina.
Raids were conducted on Monday and Wednesday, and residents told TV reporters they saw the animal control workers inject the animals. When they asked what they were giving them, they said they were told it was a sedative for the drive to the shelter.
"They came as if it were a drug raid," said Alma Febus, an animal welfare activist. "They took away dogs, cats and whatever animal they could find. Some pets were taken away in front of children."
But instead of being taken to a shelter, the pets and strays were thrown 50 feet from a bridge in the neighboring town of Vega Baja, according to Fontanez, witnesses and activists, apparently before dawn Tuesday.
"Many were already dead when they threw them, but others were alive," said Jose Manuel Rivera, who lives next to the bridge. "Some of the animals managed to climb to the highway even though they were all battered, but about 50 animals remained there, dead."

Uncle B, I am going out to smoke. But, life is difficult now. Most of us feel it, know it. Try to stave off despair.

oh, fuck, yes. Yes.
"Try to stave off despair.
The pendulum will swing. I know it."
yeah. as i said i am actually ok - just showing and sharing (rotten scotch )
I've been trying to get some positive quantum entanglement going with people to help me in a specific way.
And what is interesting is that I've been finding a number of people are sharing the same feelings.
This sense of not being able to get anything done. I think part of the feeling comes out when what we do is ignored. Or when we elect someone and then they can't get what we want done either.
Caro Kay has a newsletter called
Make Them Accountable I think a lot of us really crave that and when we don't see it happening we fall into "What's the point" feelings (I know I do)
I'm still looking for ways to move past this feeling for me and others.
The pendulum will swing. I know it
It's swinging right now. The sense I get is those who still support Bushian ways for whatever reason (with exception of just a few and the more vocal public supporters who have too much invested to quit) are becoming pretty mute, and others who don't are becoming less quiet about their beliefs. This is for both Montana and Arizona which in the past have been Republican states.
The times are changing.
"I'm still looking for ways to move past this feeling for me and others."
two stories from teaching one from organizing.
saw a kid that I thought hated me years after I'd taught him. he came up to me and wanted to tell me what he was doing with his life and that he was doing well.
nother kid who I thought hated me started to cry when she found out i was being transferred.
after i left my last job the workers go so FUCKED by management.
you don't always know who you reached and it's usually more than you know.
you sometimes measure successes by what you prevent.
things would be worse if you weren't fighting to make them better.
my thing is fighting racism - and I will not see it end in my lifetime. but - i will see it get better in my little part of the world.

US general damns Iraq 'nightmare'
Lt Gen Ricardo Sanchez on Capitol Hill in May 2004
A former US military chief in Iraq has condemned the current strategy in the conflict, which he warned was "a nightmare with no end in sight".
Retired Lt Gen Ricardo Sanchez also labelled US political leaders as "incompetent" and "corrupted".
He said they would have faced courts martial for dereliction of duty had they been in the military.
The best the US could manage under the current approach in Iraq was to "stave off defeat", Gen Sanchez warned.
"There is no question that America is living a nightmare with no end in sight," he said, addressing journalists at Arlington, near Washington.

More efficient, maybe, for a bicycle than the old generator?
dunno, I'm now thinking of making one using niobium button magnets, a couple copper coils some mylar plastic, some diodes to rectify the AC to DC, and have the resulting voltage charge up some rechargeable batteries. I'm might need to limit the voltage if this sits outside here. There isn't a constant wind here, though you can expect some during a 24 hour period and.
Did you notice he was using a house fan as the source of wind for his device? It doesn't require much wind to generate power.
The windbelt would seem to be pretty fragile, a large scale version of this device would most likely need some method of feathering, even huge wind turbines made out of composite materials have to be shut down or moderated in high winds. That would be good to see, something that could take advantage of any degree of the available wind at full efficiency.
I guess renewable energy is not a subject that gets people excited at this time of the morning. So, how'd you like the baseball earlier? I'm delighted wiith the Rockies, like most of us here in Colorado. But the power surge up in Boston was quite impressive, I'm curious to see how that series developes.
Even a few degrees of off-axis feathering would reduce the fluttering the wind induced in the ribbon. Also, you can get different thicknesses of mylar or for here in AZ where sun UV-radiation breakdown of the plastic is likely in just a few days, you could cover the plastic to protect it from the sun or use a laminated plastic.
It remains to be seen how robust the basic design is. Here, the wind typically varies within the period of just a couple days from dead calm to at least 30 mph gusts.
Another answer is to use a thicker film though this would change the resonance of the stretched film.
I just found without having to look very far, this excellent list of plastic film vendors.

Dunno about the game I was working all evening.
I'm always amazed at how young the soldiers are, who actually fight our wars. Many bomber and fighter pilots of WWII were in their very early 20's, some not even out of college.
Doug, I see your research has already progress a ways on this subject, I recall someone comment here a night or two back that he had obtained a large roll of mylar for kites and said that it was fairly inexpensive. I noticed in the video you linked that the mylar strip was housed in an elogated box frame, if that was deep enough it would offer plenty of protection from sun and probably all other elements.
I don't know many 45 year olds in charge of the lives of 10 crewmen who could hold the wheel steady under constant flak and fighter strafing.
Let alone a 22 year old.

IDEA: “Constitution Lapel Pins” for Dem Leaders
Howdy. I really would appreciate your brief feedback on something I’ve thought about off-and-on for months. Not sure if it’s a great idea or Beavis & Butthead.
Let Republicans have their stupid flag lapel pins, because pins are lame. That said, I’m proposing an idea for....yep, a lapel pin. How about encouraging Dem leaders to sport “Constitution Pins” on their lapels? They might appear as a gilded, partially unrolled scroll. This pin, like other pins, is meaningless in itself. But it would quickly become a talking point. Chris Matthews, George Stephanopoulos, Bob Schieffer and others will interview Dems and pop the inevitable question for many weeks, “So I see you are wearing one of the new Constitution pins. Explain what that means to you, and why.” This would be the perfect set-up for what Dems have been yelling anyway: “We have a president who, in his lust for executive power, has repeatedly undermined our nation’s Constitution in a brazen manner we would have never imagined not so long ago. Whether it’s illegally monitoring our citizens’ communications, claims that torture is something other than that, or outing our undercover intelligence agents for political gain, this is not only unacceptable to us, but it goes against the core democratic principals this republic was founded on. IF THE PRESIDENT WON’T DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, THEN WE MOST CERTAINLY WILL.” Etc etc etc. The pins would not only provide a new talking point, but could come to visually symbolize everything that Dems have been passionately yelling about for the past 7 years.
SO, GREAT IDEA?……OR TOTAL BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD? PLEASE LET ME KNOW! THANK YOU.
The Article 1 pins are making a bit of a slash right now . But yeah, why not have pins for every speices in the political zoo. There could be pins for the fundies that look like the ten commandants, gun nuts would have a 357 magnum pin, and most of the pols could just wear a $. Oh, the flag pins, you should have to prove you're actually patriotic to wear one of those.
splash
I heard Ed Schultz call Ann Coulter a "hate witch" the other day. I hope Hecate didn't hear that, I know it would upset her. It really is an insult to all witches.
But yeah, why not have pins for every spieces in the political zoo.
I rather favor a modified flag pin for wingnuts with stars only for 2004 genuine red states.
What's a genuine red state?
What's a genuine red state?
Jesus X. Crutch
One with enough Republican voters to give the electoral vote to the GOP in 2004.
Utah right now is the only state where Bush is above 50% in the polls. Crazy fucking mormons.
-Sanchez criticizes especially national security council-
Utah right now is the only state where Bush is above 50% in the polls. Crazy fucking mormons.
trifecta
Certainly explains why they are "well represented" by the equally weird Orrin Hatch.
Utah right now is the only state where Bush is above 50% in the polls. Crazy fucking mormons.

Perhaps Coultergeist should attempt to perfect them?
There are some states that will go for whatever candidate(s) the GOP trots out in '08. Some of those states have large minority populations that have been marginalized at the polls since forever. There states are less red than they seem to be.

The elderly gentleman that lived in and owned the triplex next door pasted away this last week, his relative were cleaning his belongings out of his part of the house yesterday and they had maybe twenty boxes full of his clothing and other effects scattered around the lawn in front. His daughter and granddaughter were inviting all his neighbors to help themselves to any of this stuff. I couldn't even look at it, much less take anything. Seems kind of creepy to me, like scaveging a body almost.
morning, all.
speaking of great cat posts, see the homepage, one post from the top. A very loved kitty.
Sanchez was a really bad general tho, and did nothing about Abu Ghraib in addition to being part of the Bremer cruising crew. Did not protect arms caches, let Baghdad get trashed. Can't get too interested in him now.
Good morning, anyone.
.
Funny, JesusX, my mom kept some of my dad's stuff around for decades, my sister cleaned them all out when she had to be in the hospital for awhile. Some of his pictures have never been found, things that I remember from childhood and miss.
Most kind of you Ruth.
aw, VforVA, that's wunnerful, I'm lol.

No surprise, WaPo takes the Nobel as a chance to slam Al Gore and give the Cretin in Chief a little help. At http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...7101202104.html
Most commenters aren't taken in.
Ruth, it does seem that once a person passes on, there is often a vast quantity of stuff left behind, it's up to the one's who cared for that person to sift through and save what is of value to them. Both of my parents are gone for some time now, and I often wonder what became of the artifacts that adorned our home when we were all together, that place was 1000 miles ago and 50 years away. I think I'll make an effort to get rid of some of my stuff, I never seem to get rid of anything. My house is small, but I have huge garage/storage shed out back that I just keep filling with crap I'll never use. Time for a yard sell.
Morning, all.
JesusX, funny, I also have accumulated much too much, also have storage shed. But I have grankids, am beginning to slough some of it off to them. After all, most of the clutter is treasures!
Looks like the first shift's showing up, must be time I was abed. Nice chatting with you folk, it was wonderfully troll free, may it be so ever. Til next time.
Moe, you must be enjoying the clamor of the wingers over the Nobel Peace Prize - shrimplate tells me McCain is claiming Al Gore doesn't deserve it! True colors, shining threw, true colors. wow.
'night, JesusX. The trolls are pouting because Gore sunshine made them sizzle.
Yea, pretty funny, Ruth. The disconnect becomes obvious when you look at the two most emailed NYT articles:
1.Paul Krugman: Sliming Graeme Frost
2. Gore Shares Peace Prize for Climate Change Work
There's an entire media pundit/editorial world, and then there's the real world, where people understand what's going on.
Gen. Sanchez is on c-span right nownow. He just gave his speech - now doing Q&A.
via TPM:
Catastrophically Flawed
Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, former commander of US forces in Iraq. From Stars & Stripes ...
The former top commander of U.S. troops in Iraq slammed the handling of the war and gave a bleak assessment of the current situation in Iraq.
“There is no question that America is living a nightmare with no end in sight,” retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez told a convention of military journalists on Friday.
...
But Sanchez reserved most of his venom Friday for U.S. officials, saying the U.S. government still has not brought all the resources needed to win in Iraq.
“From a catastrophically flawed, unrealistically optimistic war plan, to the administration’s latest surge strategy, this administration has failed to employ and synchronize the political, economic and military power,” Sanchez said.
Continuing changes to military strategy alone will not achieve victory, rather it will only “stave off defeat,” he said.
“The administration, Congress and the entire inter-agency, especially the State Department, must shoulder the responsibility for this catastrophic failure and the American people must hold them accountable.”
Nownow? sorry about that - half asleep.
Doggy woke me up early.
Ruth-- did you see Judith Curry's response to Lomborg in the WaPo?
portia, the military now repudiating the Iraq war almost all are basing their critiques on too little war, not the idiocy of making war on Iraq altogether. And Sanchez did not distinguish himself for judgment in carrying out the war.
Is Sanchez a phony soldier yet? A closet liberal? A -- god forbid -- DEMOCRAT?????
No, Moe, I hadn't - and am glad to see it. WaPo has some really low quality editorial 'talent' and is not liking the facts these days - but does keep to a tradition of providing a form for many points of view. Too few of them are rational, but the rational side doesn't have to try to sell themselves so desperately.
VforVA, stalking Sanchez should be fun for the snarling pack. He's even brown.

Ruth
Ahhhhh, there's the hook: He's pissed at the 'thugs for trying to stop the invading hordes from across the border that want to force your children to eat tamales in school instead of learning to speak english good, like the preznit.
good morning, early birds.
sanchez doesn't impress me. abu G happened on his watch, and there was plenty to complain about when he was there, and he didn't. he seems to me to be all about jumping the sinking ship now that the opinion tide has turned. (mix, o metaphors!)
anyone doing fall gardening today? i'm going to put in my bulbs. i have to thank someone, either plantsman or Moe, for the dutch garden suggestion. i have 175 bulbs from them in all different colors and types, and they came at such a reasonable price. today's only downside: hauling manure.
Looks like Real Climate has been, whatdayacallit?, one of those denial of service attacks from too much traffic. The wingnuts are pissed at Al's award.
I'm putting in some bulbs today, too, CD-- I've got a ton of garlic, and I'll run over to the seed store to find some tulips and whatever for my soon-to-be-grasslass front yard.
Oh, but better to ask plantsman for advice. I'm still on the steep-side of the learning curve.
wow. so AT&T has been spying on americans since bush took office. nice. as lambert is fond of reminding me, it's always worse than we think when it comes to the bushies.
(over at the top of corrente)
Bulbs are great, and in the D.C. area you can grow Peonies! which are the greatest of all flowers. (tho that's not a bulb actually, is it)
Ruth, you make a good point.
It's just so interesting now that he's retired he's speaking out. He just said that once you're retired you have a responsiblity to speak out for your country.
from E&P:

www.editorandpublisher.co...t_id=1003658213
"Questioned by reporters after his speech, he included the military and himself among those who made mistakes in Iraq, citing the failure to insist on a better post-invasion stabilization plan....
"The administration, Congress and the entire inter-agency, especially the State Department, must shoulder responsibility for the catastrophic failure, and the American people must hold them accountable."
The Army Times article included this colorful passage: "Jaws dropped as Sanchez glared out at the room, and then eyes rolled as he spent an hour blaming everyone but himself. Most of what he said about the military has been said before: There’s no grand strategy, the Iraqi Army should not have been disbanded, there was no planning for stabilization or recovery past the initial invasion and, 'the administration has failed.'
"He said deployment cycles aren’t working with current troop levels, that it will take decades to fix the 'military’s full-spectrum readiness,' and that if the U.S. were to withdraw from Iraq, it would lead to 'chaos that would lead to instability in the Middle East.' And, he said the Powell Doctrine — which requires a clear exit strategy as part of a war plan — was violated.
"He said some poor strategic decisions in Iraq had become 'defeats because of the media,' and that some reporters feed from a 'pigs’ trough.'"
Al Gore is on c-span now.
Jim Hoggan has a pretty good post on Gore, ending with this:
...Too many of us, today, are brooding about this honor, entirely because of its political implications. Too many are arguing, for example, that Gore was "only" trying to use his climate change advocacy campaign as a stepping stone to a presidential run for 2009. Well, if Gore planned all this - if he planned to win an Oscar, write a best seller and capture the Nobel Prize by publicizing the risks of anthropogenic global warming - he may be smarter than any of us suspected. If he's that prescient, he might make quite a good president.
But you don't have to commit a hypothetical vote to Al Gore for president. You don't have to forgive him for not fighting harder for the White House in 2001. You don't have to abandon any of your own political preferences just because you stand up today, with the the Nobel committee and the whole world, and say, thanks Al. Thanks for the hard work. Thanks for the good judgment. Thanks for refusing to let Exxon's baffle brigade continue to sew doubt about this critical global issue.
We have not turned the corner on emission controls, but I believe this Nobel Prize will demonstrate that we have turned a corner on a dark time of dissembling and denial. North America has finally acknowledged the scientific consensus and joined the global political consensus. For which, once again, we should say: Thanks Al. And congratulations. Today, you deserve it.
thanks, portia, now that's worth a watch... Al Gore, now beloved by the media except for WaPo.
Sanchez joins a lot of just published war critics - who couldn't make their critic status known until the war was pretty thoroughly recognized to be a disaster.
"He said some poor strategic decisions in Iraq had become 'defeats because of the media,' and that some reporters feed from a 'pigs’ trough.
while i agree with the "trough" part, the rest of this is such total bunk. and typical. here we have a high ranking military officer who actually made decisions about where the troops were and what they were doing, blaming idiot lapdog shills in the US for his own failures. so typical for a bushie.
Morning peeps.
It would have be nice if we had had a day or two between air conditioning and heat.
Which Cspan is Gore on? I don't see him on the website.

ql made a lovely one for SP when he was born... we all use it.
you guys can flame me for it, but i don't really care so much about another award for Al. sure, he's the best and deserves it, but then again so does moe, or any of you all here. awards are nice. but they often go to the wrong people. kissenger got a nobel, iirc, and "gladiator" won an academy (don't get me started on the dreck that has received an emmy).
in the end, i'm not sure what the award will "do" for the environment. it surely isn't going to help me shovel ten bags of manure today.
CD - If nothing else, it brings attention to the issue. I still am not hearing any cries for using less oil, recycling, or anything else to help ease global warming.
it surely isn't going to help me shovel ten bags of manure today.
Bags? What a consept. I've been tying the cow up and positioning her next to the bush that needs fertilizing. So much easier to use bags, I suppose. But, then you have to follow the cow around with a bag positioned just so. Hmmmm. Dunno.
You know what sucks? Weekend conferences when you don't get to travel and they don't even feed you.
Feh.
When I switched from politics to running a pony farm, I used to enjoy pointing out that I was still shoveling the same stuff.
It's great exercise, ChiDyke.
And Al got the award for keeping rubbing our noses in the problem until even the cabal woke up - and slammed Al for capitalizing on all those facts.
The quote was Malkin.
Molly, can you at least get catered lunch. You're right, no fun.
That manure can come from the local equestrian center, they feed those ponies very high quality stuff.
I think a lot of us are happy because it's a recognition that Gore is a forward-thinking intelligent man, and we are glad to see that even though we couldn't give him the office he deserved and won, others recognize how important he is as well. It's like seeing an ex-lover happy.
Also, as ql notes, it focuses attention on solving these issues, and if it increases the height and volume of his pulpit, I'm all for that.
The idiots, the idiots. Now they're quoting some real scientists about how Antarctic sea ice levels are at the highest recorded level ever. And so they-- the idiots, not the scientists-- say this disproves global warming. Anyone see the flaw in "logic" here?
Good morning, folks. Is the Gore glow still shining for you? I walked around grinning like an idiot all day yesterday.
Molly, the moments I am looking for is the prosecution of Dems just before elections to keep those prosecutor offices.
The quote was Malkin.
Stalkin' Malkin?
"How Dare You Google My Past Statements?!" Malkin?
Tween-Taunter Malkin?
Morning, rational people.
Just how often does Malkin show up on television in any given week? (I have been mercifully spared her presence.)
Ruth,
I fully expect cold meat and fruit platters from the local grocery store. Possibly juice boxes.
CORRECTION!
That was a commenter on Malkin's site, not Malkin herself. He's a columnist with the Jacksonvill, Fla. Times-Union. Hey, wait a minute, isn't that where's Ruppert's from?
oh, well, Molly, you're a Public Servant, that's a treat for you!!
Marcellina, me too, I don't do Malkin, Coulter, Rush, O'Reilly, you name it. My beautiful mind is too important for dreck.
I'm wondering if the mass hate campaigns have run their course. Or maybe I'm just better at ignoring.
Finally got around to going to the local farmer's market which is run mainly by the Amish. I was literally overwhelmed by it all. Three butcher shops with the most luscious looking chickens and port loins. I wound up not buying much, maybe because brussel sprouts seemed to be the in season thing. From sprout soup to batter fried. They were everywhere. We'll return next week and do some serious shopping. Fresh herbs, spices, potato chips. Really overwhelming.
Not watching FOX, I never see Malkin. And that's plenty.
brussel sprouts seemed to be the in season thing
You're telling me.
ql, Amish cheesecake also worth the money. "port loins"? in a glass? heh
Bob Herbert at NYT on you know who..
The president who got such high marks as a barbecue companion doesn’t seem to know up from down. He’s hurled the nation into a ruinous war that has cost countless lives and spawned a whole new generation of terrorists. He continues to sit idly by as a historic American city, New Orleans, remains wounded and on its knees. He’s blithely steered the nation into a bottomless pit of debt.
That pretty much sums it up.
Brussels sprouts. yummmm.
port=pork
hey, it's early and cold. Damn cat will not sleep anywhere except with his head on the warm spot of the computer. Makes typing difficult.
ql, does Delaware have Pennsylvania Dutch birch beer?
Fresh Brussells Sprouts can be wonderful, particularly if the black aphids haven't found them before you do
oh, well, Molly, you're a Public Servant, that's a treat for you!!
Tell me about it. When I ran conferences, we had chocolate croissants for breakfast and ethnically appropriate foods for lunch. (I worked in Southeast Asian studies.) Of course, the keynote speaker is from the midwest, so maybe cold meat platters are ethnically appropriate....
As a public servant, however, there's a chance I'llqualify for this new debt forgiveness thing in the last student loan bill. You have to be working with underserved populations and have been paying for ten years, but we might be able to get the whole thing excused, which would be good.

Marcellena, don't know. I've been mainly drinking wine these days.
p-man: can you tell me again where I might find an electric wood chipper? I'm looking for something to chop up my woody veggies, like all the brocolli stems I pulled up yesterday, and the usual small branches from bushes, etc. Electric, not gas.
steamed b.sprouts with butter and soy are just heaven. i wish mine had done better this year, but i didn't put them in a spot with enough light.
I've only ever seem Malkin on YouTube.
Brussel Sprouts polonaise is really good.

First, check rental shops. No sense owning something you only use a couple-three times a year unless it's cost effective. Then, Google away.
And be very careful when using it, metal flails are most unforgiving.
Birch beer is like root beer, but slightly different. I don't know if it's sold nationally, though.
No, I pretty much need to own it. Through the late summer I'd need it three or four days a week. You had suggested some internet-order companies...
I've only ever seem Malkin on YouTube.
Same here.
Molly, am hoping for you. Forgiveness on student loans seems a small return for teaching our future leaders/followers/functional types.
Morning all.
Anything irksome I should know about?
Have I mentioned that I saw two dirty movies yesterday? We Own the Night, and Elizabeth?
Hubba hubba!!!!
moe, i dry and then burn all my woody stemmed plants and vines, and then add the ash to the compost. i don't know if that's "better" environmentally than using a gas chipper, but it saves me from having to have an 'uncompostable' material pile in the yard.

Schlussel smeared Soros, "believe[s]" Deutsch "was lying about his own religious status"
Summary: In a post on her website, Debbie Schlussel claimed that Media Matters is "anti-American, anti-Israel, and funded by [philanthropist] George Soros, a Jew who proudly worked for the Nazis rounding up Jews and sending them to their deaths." She also wrote, "I believe Donny Deutch [sic] was lying about his own religious status" in the interview, and that she "doubt[s] that" he is a "practicing Jew," because "his show is on live during the Jewish Sabbath, and keeping the Jewish Sabbath is the most important commandment for a religious Jew to keep."

I'm allergic to brussel sprouts. Break out in hives.
Of course, I haven't had one since I was 11, so perhaps I'm over it. Do they taste good?
so is there going to be a "morning commenters" breakfast at eschacon? or do we expect to get so drunk at night we'll all sleep in?

Start at Troy-Built, or whatever. Electrics may be a bit of a challenge, but the major Japanese Power-Tool makers can be generally trusted. If possible, see if Consumer Reports has tested any.

Forgiveness on student loans seems a small return for teaching our future leaders/followers/functional types.
And for our degrees, we're technically underemployed, though glad to have the jobs. That might count in our favor, too.
But 2 PhDs are spendy, I'll tell you that.

i guess i've been offline for too long, did everyone already discuss this?
The project was described in the ATT sales division documents as calling for the construction of a facility to store and retain data gathered by the NSA from its domestic and foreign intelligence operations but was to be in actuality a duplicate ATT Network Operations Center for the use and possession of the NSA that would give the NSA direct, unlimited, unrestricted and unfettered access to all call information and internet and digital traffic on ATTÌs long distance network.
this has been going on since bush took office. harry, nancy? anyone?

That's it! Thanks!
The idea is to get one of those Canadian tire solar panel-battery boxes, and use it to power the few tools I need, including this sucker. Now to see how I can get it...
Actually, this site I linked Moe to has all kinds of environmentally-friendly garden tools. Interesting...
Wow. I stopped buying the NY Daily News, which is a great paper for NYC news, when they hinted that maybe Soros escaped the Nazis by collaborating. Now people aren't even hinting anymore. What a cunt.
The NYT movie review of Elizabeth ( Titled : Now, Warrior ) is a hootin' good read!

CD, I'm taking this one with a grain of salt for now.
There have been a couple of previous accusations that Bush was doing something illegal before 9/11. In one case, the program turned out to be a perfectly legal implementation not even related to surveillance, approved by Clinton in 1999.
Joe Nacchio has been convicted of insider trading, and is trying to get a new trial. He doesn't seem to have offered any evidence for his assertions. And he's been involved in shady transactions before (google "Global Crossings").

Heh!
My bipartisan panel of creationists on global warming has concluded that it's not the automobile that is responsible for all that CO2 in the atmosphere, but man himself.
That's why it's unfair that Al Gore (hack, spit) should get an award when I, George Bush, actually did something about global warming. I'v wiped out at last count over a million Iraqis that were contributing CO2 to the atmosphere.
It's so unfair! Damn liberals.

Joe Nacchio has been convicted of insider trading, and is trying to get a new trial. He doesn't seem to have offered any evidence for his assertions. And he's been involved in shady transactions before (google "Global Crossings").

I'm with jac on this one, although I really wish the allegations had some really substantial legs.
Really.
Good morning.
I think Marcellina is pining for some A-Treat.
CD, just re-read your post. The AT&T thing is old news, and is said to have started in 2002.
Nacchio's claims are about Qwest, and billing records.
Sorry.

Soros was 14 when the Nazis occupied Budapest and began exterminating Jews. I wonder what George W Bush had to worry about when he was 14.
TOPOFF 4 and Vigilant Shield 08: Nuclear Dictatorship: The Portland Plan

Captain May is a former Army military intelligence and public affairs officer, as well as a former NBC editorial writer. His political and military analyses have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Houston Chronicle and Military Intelligence Magazine. He is the leader of the Portland Nuclear Inquest, a group of concerned citizens monitoring and discussing the TOPOFF / Vigilant Shield terror exercises.

Inquest.
It’s hard to know what’s scarier: the idea of responding to a terrorist attack in Portland or the idea that the government is using a drill as a pretext to seize power, declare martial law and, possibly, attack Iran. –”Different shades of unthinkable” — Editorial, The Oregonian, Oct. 2, 2007
http://luminaria.wordpress.com/2...r-dictatorship/
News – TOPOFF 4 (short for "top officials") is an exercise that simulates (we hope) the detonation of a "dirty bomb" near Portland's Steel Bridge. Vigilant Shield 08 simulates (we hope) imposition of martial law to control the civilian population in the aftermath of the radiological event.

On September 11th 2001, several military drills were taking place that removed vital air defenses from the area and caused confusion as the exercises went "live". In London on July 7th, 2005, Visor Corporation was conducting drills of the exact events that transpired that day, in the same locations at the same time. On October 15th, NORTHCOM is engaging in another drill. This time simulating a "dirty" bomb and the implementation of Martial Law in Portland, Oregon. Only our awareness of the plan can stop them, just like it stopped them in Charleston in August 2005.

articles...drill_3a_aw.htm
It is vital that we all become aware of the fact that, six years ago, numerous civil and military exercises set the stage for the "live" events that occurred on September 11, 2001. That is, some of the drills before and during 9/11 simulated the actual events that took place on that day, including a plane-into-building exercise and a live-fly hijacking. This "coincidence" (assuming one is a coincidence theorist) caused an intentional paralysis or defacto stand down of our forces. Unless you believe in astronomical improbabilities, it is impossible that the "live" events simulated by these drills were a mere coincidence and not connected in any way to the drills' planning and execution. (It is important to note that a simul

Not so far away into the future, will we be prosecuting collaborators with the war criminals now in power? I'm starting a list Now.

Whole Paycheck used to sell birch beer occasionally.
I wonder what George W Bush had to worry about when he was 14.
Whether Jeebus could see under his sheets, and if the girls really liked Jeb better.
Mrs. Moe has some business she has to do down in Maine, so we're going down next week with our All Powerful Loonies and are going to buy a bunch of stuff to bring back home. I'll have to look at gardening supply stores.

Frank's Cream Soda! Now there's something from way down the memory hole. I loved that stuff as a kid.

Haley Barbour has opened the doors of power to the money changers: Big Tobacco, Big Oil, Big Insurance. These groups—who Haley has lobbied for—may talk about helping Mississippi, but they are merely wolves in sheep’s clothing who have been making false promises and pulling the financial strings of our leaders to force us to accept false choices.
They promise that Haley will use his Washington lobbyist connections to get money for Mississippi, but only if we agree to never ask whose pocket the money actually goes into. They ask us to ignore our broken schools and our children getting hooked on cigarettes so that Big Tobacco can make bigger profits. They tell us to ignore the fact that our state government has failed the people on the coast, and instead to give thanks that at least we don’t look as bad as Louisiana.
These moneychangers have led us astray, and the current governor has continued to side with them over the people of Mississippi because, as we all know, where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

This mornings must read!! A good and important column by Bob Herbert:
The Trivial Pursuit
The entire basis for this former mayor’s candidacy is his contention that he is some kind of expert, a veritable guru, on matters related to terrorism.
“I understand terrorism,” he says, “in a way that is equal to or exceeds anyone else.”
And yet in the two most important decisions he has made with regard to terror, he has miserably failed.
Mr. Giuliani foolishly insisted, against expert advice, on placing New York City’s state-of-the-art emergency command center on the 27th floor of a 47-story building that was known to be a terror target and that was destroyed in the World Trade Center attack.
And he pushed hard for the corrupt and grotesquely underqualified Bernard Kerik to be appointed to the top antiterror post in the Bush administration, secretary of homeland security.
In an episode that humiliated the president, the nomination had to be scrapped after boatloads of damaging information began to emerge about Mr. Kerik. (He has since pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors and remains under federal investigation.)
But Mr. Giuliani, who shares with Mr. Bush a Manichaean view of the world and an aggressive, authoritarian temperament, remains not just a viable candidate, but the G.O.P. front-runner.
yesterday Tweety quoted Rudy's lame excuse on Kerick - something about doing a better background check- and let it go at that. nice try, Tweety.
All their great cartoonists are gone (save for Gahan Wilson, who had a small b&w offering near the back) and they haven't really found any replacements. The layout and design was truly abysmal, and the articles boring.

Sadly, you wouldn't last long in Australia. They've got parrots the way cities here have pigeons.
I love the headbanging at the end.

SF's got several flocks of wild pigeons inhabitating local parks.
Pretty weird to hear them chattering away nonsensically...

There is so much good material.
Republicans want to break the US Army in Iraq so that they can make the US a part of their world oil cartel under their mercenary army - [picture of Bush holding hands with that Saudi prince in the bluebells]
Hundreds of firefighters died in the Trade Towers because Guiliani put their emergency center on the 110 story- against the advice of experts, and put a luxury apartment in it to bring his girlfriend to so his wife wouldn't know!
Why is there no money for schools? Because Neal Bush, took the money so he could visit prostitutes in Asia.

plantsman: Squirrel-scolding?
I think I'll have to record it, 'cause most people I know swear up and down they've never heard a squirrel make a sound.
.
heh. warning to all golddiggers: they're on to you.
The anonymous 25-year-old woman recently posted an ad on the free online New York community Web site Craigslist, appealing for advice on how to find a wealthy husband.
"I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all," the woman, who described herself as "spectacularly beautiful" and "superficial," wrote.
"I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. $250,000 won't get me to Central Park West," she said, asking questions like "where do rich single men hang out?"
The mystery banker, who said he fit the bill, offered the woman an analysis of her predicament, describing it as "plain and simple a crappy business deal."
"Your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity ... in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful!" the banker wrote.
"So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset," he said. "Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!"
"It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease," he said.
heh. i love craig's list.
oh, squirrels chitter like mad when they feel threatened.
JP, squirrels are very talky. They tell me not to bother them alla time - and my cats really get them fussy.
The squirrels here "click" when there's a threat nearing; but if you really piss them off, they'll bawl you out!
watertiger: oh, squirrels chitter like mad when they feel threatened.
And they have this wheezy cry they make when they're pissed... I can't describe it any better than that.

Where have these people been?
They chitter, and make a sort of squawking sound that sounds like a bird -- maybe folks just aren't paying attention to where the sound is coming form.
They've heard them, all right.
(I rocked the biscuits and gravy this morning. MMMMMmmmmm.)

Hi, fellas, have you found the car keys yet?
watertiger- you know about all those parakeets in hyde park (chicago), right? damn things used to wake me up way too early in the morning, when i lived on campus. it's very odd to see them in flocks, all over the trees. they are escapees from some indoor place, iirc, and have managed to become a colony despite the IL winters.
Hook-billed birds are very decisive about people generally, and take a Borderline Personality approach to many: they love you or they hate you.
ohgawd, Zap, there went breakfast.
I'm thinking Crack'Ho Barrel for breakie, this morning. It's the same distance (opposite direction) as the now-nearest McD's, since my McD's is still being scraped and replaced.
.
my favorite birds are native AUSSIES!!!

they are like pigeons there
watertiger- you know about all those parakeets in hyde park (chicago),
Yeah, we've got a couple of colonies in Brooklyn - escapees who seem to find each other, are fruitful, and multiply. It always disorients me when I hear one here, because that screech is very site-specific for me.
On to Sat morn errands. take good care of all our greatness - and Al Gore. l8r
oh, and do see what NSA is doing about your car keys at http://cabdrollery.blogspot.com/

"I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. $250,000 won't get me to Central Park West,"

For JP:
ALDERWINE, MO—Cracker Barrel CEO Michael Woodhouse announced Tuesday that the restaurant and retail chain would expand to a new location out by Highway 18, near the Harmon Road turnoff.
"At Cracker Barrel, our mission is to give our customers hearty, all-American food and old license plates on the walls to look at while they eat," said Woodhouse, gesturing toward a scale model of the future restaurant, which is the same model used for all new location announcements. "That's why we're proud to announce our newest location, just up a ways past the Flying J."
The new location will be the fourth Cracker Barrel in town, fifth if you count the one half a mile from the city limits where the dirt track speedway used to be.
The decision to build one, Woodhouse said, was based on months of extensive internal research indicating that people around here like to eat, like to drive, and are willing to drive to eat.
"Our data showed that folks driving north out of town might like a Cracker Barrel in the immediate area," Woodhouse said. "I always said there should be one out that way anyhow, so no matter which direction you're heading out, you can always stop at a Cracker Barrel."
The new restaurant puts Cracker Barrel on track to outpace its chief rival, Bob Evans, which has only three locations in the whole county. While some have expressed concern that the increased traffic congestion may pose a problem for people on their way to church or the Winn-Dixie, reaction to the news has been largely positive.
plantsman: Fine. Go and sin no more, JP!
No point in that! I like to sin!

bff?
went and seen Bob Noonan and Elvis Prestello last night (not to forget completely Amos Lee)
I'm glad Bob (the artist formerly known as Zimmy if you serve somebody) croaked a few identifiers because the "old" songs he covered sounded so very little like themselves. It was (the music) more like ZZ Top doing George Thoroughgood and Bob every once in a while would grind a non-existent cigarette out with his left boot tip to show he was gettin' stirred up with his own belated enthusiasm.
Elvis was pure showmanship and very professional. He was completely solo and accompanied hiself with intricate chord progressions that included quite a stylized inclusion of what one would think were impossible lead guitar ... um ... leads. Over all effect a very real entertainer. Amos opened and they sounded very very very much like the band known as The Band to me.
I love the Spanish word for squirrel: Ardilla. (Ar-dee-ya) Just fits, somehow.

JP reminds me of my dad. i once cooked a very nice five course meal for a family gathering, with dishes from french, indian, and middle eastern recipes, all made from scratch, fine ingredients, etc. everyone loved it, including dad.
three hours later i caught him with some McDs wrappers and a greasy maw. "i had a craving," he explained. you don't realize it JP, but they are addicting you. to Unfood.

Bullshit. The Scottish opium burritos are amongst the simplest, most-wholesome fast food products available. They're so simple, it's hard to chemically fuck 'em up, since it's not economically sensible to do so.

wonder who he knew...the market is rigged

I dunno. I remember an American expatriate talking about life in Paris. He loved it; loved the food especially. But every once in a while, he said, he craved Southern cooking.
When I lived in Illinois and Missouri, places where salt and pepper were exotic spices, I craved the cheapest, greasiest Tex-Mex food I could get my hands on. Addiction? Or simply what you're used to?
True, McD's is high in fat, salt, sugar, etc. It's terrible food. You get accustomed to that, it's hard to get unaccustomed. Same with eating habits. You get used to eating large meals all the time, with plenty o' snacks in between, it's a hard habit to break. But is it an addiction?
Really depends on the person. My father can't quit smoking, after several surgeries/heart attacks. Me, I tried it. I never got hooked. Some people can't stop drinking. Me, I can't seem to quite start. Addiction is an individual, personality driven condition; not strictly a function of substances.
dang and slutty-red lipstick looks so good on gold-digging women.
lipstick lead levels unsafe?

Was he Jewish?

If'n I had one of those egg-circle forms I might make my own breakfast sammich with a Boca Patty
on a whole-wheat English muffin. Or maybe not.
hec- g'morning! i'll be raking pine, maple and elm leaves myself. and tilling beds for my bulbzzzz! yeah!
i wish it would warm up a little, tho.
JP- it's out of love i try to save you, i hope you know that. and the desire to free america from the curse of corporate unfood. but mostly love.
rolling stone has sure found its voice again
I was thinking the other day how odd it is that Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone are doing some of the best articles on this junta.

I'll be over right after I finish at Hecate's.
I raked leaves in a Park/Rose Garden for a living for a few years. Paid my dues.
Well, if scrambled eggs, peppers, onions, cheese and salsa in a flour tortilla is "unfood," I'll take it.

bye

Particularly the fake Jews.
Also nice to see there's a fake general ripping Bush a new asshole today.
My wife used to work at McDonald's in her college days. She said the best thing on the menu wasn't on the menu: an Egg McMuffin with tartar sauce from the Filet-o-Fish.
The employees could make one for themselves, but were not allowed to make it for the customers. Mickey D would NOT allow the tartar sauce on anything but the Filet-o-Fish. They were quite adamant about this.
speaking of fast ass food and the politics involved
we had a white castle on the corner in a commercial zone near the most mainstream contepmorary area of market representation when slowly over a period of about a year and a half, those who were non-believes that white castle wasn't anything more than cheap chuahua burgers had begun to embrace them as enjoyable and it was fun for small children because it was rather inclusive (they could watch hundreds of them being made at a time and stacked and boxed. Well, ... the low-rider machines moved in and stayed (parking lights on dont cha know) and then the shootings of rival contingencies of the same crap assed gangster emulators that ruin everything for everyone got the place run outta town and wishing mail-order frozen could actually be safe. Don't want to get caught at the super-market over by the frozen white castles by a member of a rival neighborhood shitheel.
rmj- heh, and people tell me i'm too wordy and serious in the morning.
McD's is getting better, i'll give them that. it's mostly the destruction they cause, because of the bizness model, that i oppose them so violently. they cause locally owned places to go out of business, destroy the rainforest to feed their cattle, and contribute huge quantities of trash that never gets recycled. that's just for starters. the fact that the food will literally kill you (cf supersize me) is just icing on the cake.
i think i'll just have to go down to where JP is and cook for him for a week. to let his taste buds grow back.
If'n I had one of those egg-circle forms I might make my own breakfast sammich with a Boca Patty
If you have an empty tunafish can, just remove the bottom, and voila!
The only fast-food burger I can deal with is Wendy's, and that's usually reserved for times when nothing better is available.

Trademark Dave, before they went out of business, I used to work at a Burger Chef. Their Super Chef sandwich had a special sauce: tarter sauce. It was excellent.
Thanks! BTW, a package will be finding its way to you soon.

Had one on a visit to L.A.... it was okay; better than Wendy's, but it was no Fat Mo's.

No, DWD, I'm not living in an illusion. I'm fully aware of what's going on.
And I posit that you presume that "our" pundits live in a illusion, not us. To come to a blog full of politically-conscious folk and tell them that what they see is bullshit is, well, bullshit.
...before they went out of business, I used to work at a Burger Chef.
Wow, I used to LOVE Burger Chef when I was a kid. Even more than McDonald's.
This was back when burgers were 12 cents...
Oh, for you Michiganders, that Instahack crap is about the Archdiocese of Detroit targeting 3 GOPer reps for opposing SCHIP.
