To the outside world, of course, we still call ourselves feminists and insist — vehemently, even — that we’re independent and self-sufficient and don’t believe in any of that damsel-in-distress stuff, but in reality, we aren’t fish who can do without a bicycle, we’re women who want a traditional family.
As a guy, I can attest to the fact that I've met very few women over the years who feel this way.
OT: Iraqi lawyers say the only way to save the country’s archaeological treasures is by placing them under international protection.
A statement by Iraqi Bar Association said the government and U.S. occupation troops were not concerned about the fate of these treasures. On the contrary, it added, both were contributing to the loss of Mesopotamian history.
The statement, signed by the association’s chairman, Dhia al-Saadi, accused the government of Prime Minister Noori al-Maliki of "being soft with the multi-national forces by allowing them to use certain archaeological sites as military bases."
It cited the ancient city of Babylon which these forces have been using as barracks despite outcries from Mesopotamian scientists across the world.
Some 10,000 pieces of the country’s most prized archaeological artifacts are still missing and illegal digging of famous sites such as Nimrud and Ashur in the north as well as important mounds in the south is said to be proceeding ahead.
There are more than 10,000 archaeologically valuable sites in Iraq and there is no way for the government, embroiled in political squabbling and a murderous war against opponents to protect them.
U.S. troops can hardly protect themselves let alone the country’s archaeological treasures.
Mesopotamia and its riches were dealt a heavy blow the moment invading U.S. troops landed in Baghdad.

Before MSNBC's David Shuster was suspended by the network Friday for on-air comments he made about Chelsea Clinton, the television reporter engaged in a heated correspondence with a spokesman for Hillary Rodham Clinton in which he defended his appearance and refused demands to apologize.

A bit more on Shuster and the Clintons from wiki:
"Shuster left CNN in 1994 to become a political reporter for the ABC affiliate KATV in Little Rock, Arkansas, covering the Whitewater controversy. No stranger to controversy, while reporting on the Whitewater trial for KATV in Little Rock, Arkansas, station manager, Dale Nicholson, officially retracted several reports filed by Shuster."

There's apparently so little of value in that daily disjointed chatter that MSNBC does not post transcripts. Or, maybe like CNBC which posts NO transcripts, that just don't want the record so out there.

Bond--Fox would be re-hiring Shuster.
"From 1996 - 2002, Shuster was a Washington, D.C. based correspondent for the Fox News Channel. He was at the Pentagon at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks and led Fox’s coverage of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. During the Bill Clinton administration, Shuster led Fox’s coverage of the Clinton investigations including Whitewater, the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Starr Report and the Senate impeachment trial.
Shuster was also a member of Fox’s “You Decide 2000” political team. He spent four months on John McCain’s “Straight Talk Express” bus and was Fox’s lead correspondent for McCain’s presidential campaign."

Shuster should have realized that he'd fucked up, and immediately backed down and pissed himself.

The number of complaints about homophobia within the police has risen by almost a quarter, according to the Gay Police Association.
The association said it received 350 calls to its helpline last year, compared with 260 the year before.
It estimated that there were about 7,000 homophobic incidents among police last year, but intimidated officers were reluctant to report them.
The police said "any form of homophobia has no place in the police".
The Gay Police Association said it was aware of colleagues refusing to serve with gay officers and quoting sections of the Bible at them on parade grounds.
Some officers have used legislation designed to protect religious freedoms to justify their actions, saying that they found homosexuality incompatible with their beliefs.
Speaking of Shuster, over at Miss Havisham's the overwhelming verdict is that Chelsea deserved it, PC is destroying this country, and that it's disgusting -- strictly on the basis of free speech -- that MSNBC made the poor widdle misunderstood guy apologize.

Yup it's started. That whole segment on KO last night was a gotcha without the gotcha. She's not required to release her returns and maybe she doesn't want that info out there if she is not the nominee. She broke no laws when she loaned her campaign money and there is precedent. At the most it shows she wasn't raising as quickly as Obama. OMG, she should just drop out now.

Given the apoplectic fits he himself has at being told what to do, where the blood hell does he get off telling other people how to run theirs?

If you're going to tell people what to do though, You could start with Pandagon.
For too long, her site has been far more about the alleged 'bad behavior' of men, and too little about the oppression of women.
If Feminists don't want men decided what qualities make up femininity, then they have to stop trying to define masculinity. No more laughing at male novelty items shaped like female body parts, especially given the number of similar 'novelty' items that women use. No more telling us we have to grow up and act like adult men, They don't have the right to define what makes a man a man.
Good luck with that though. They have a point that many 'nice guys' are just dishonest weaklings. But a woman NEVER has the right to tell a man he's not masculine. A person from a movement based on the idea that a man NEVER has the right to tell a woman she's not feminine should really understand that.

But I'm sympathetic in that our society does elevate simple lifestyle choices - marriage, cohabitation, fertility - into moral ones, causing people to construct defenses of their own choices
Atrios
Might as well tell it now- all all my lifestyle choices are, have been and will always be (I just can't help it) completely indefensible on any moral grounds, or any other grounds, for that matter.
And man, don't I know it.
And I defy any one of you fuckers to show me where I say otherwise.

Indefensible, I tell you. I don't even try, I'm guilty a priori!
And don't I know it, mama, don't I know it.

"sure she could. has nothing to do with her sex.
so fuck off.
jdw"
Everything to do with sex so fuck on.
obama wants to see her husbands tax returns. He is claiming they broke campaign finance laws. That’s how obama got to be a state senator. In a disctrict where the dem candidate was a shoe in obama forced the other dem candidates to go to court over anything and everything until they ran out of money. Obama had the daley machine financing him so of course he could out last his opponents. That’s not gonna work in the big time.

So, the WGA has made a deal and the can go back to work.
"Whoop-te-shit"
Tom Servo
The Internet is my DVR, and frankly, the WGA strike hasn't had any real effect on my viewing habits whatsoever. I have been enjoying a wide variety of BBC and other U.K. programming.
Between Discovery, History and Science Channels, and a mess of WGBH channels on my cable service, along with Sundance, Indie, IFC and diverse Encore channels, and the "OnDemand" service on the local cable, the ONLY "broadcast network" TV shows I watched in the last month were the new episodes of LOST and Smallville. And even then, I grabbed them off the Internet. I have become quite addicted to watching TV programming sans commercials.

Call me, indefensible,
Call me, reprehensible,
Tell me, that I'm morally screwed!
Say my lifestyle choices inure me,
To the undeniable virtues of Hillary!
Tell me I'm inscrutable
Say I'm disreputable!
It's will-o-the-wisps, I'm inclined to pursue!
But if I'm responsible
Obama's in-ev-i-table
So for him I will vote, so will you!
We're demographically fated to!

How bout life lack-of-style choices? Or just being old, sick, tired, stupid and alone. by chance.
Hobson |
02.09.08 - 12:43 pm | #
more often than not, the notion of those things being choices is a nice feel good idea, but its mostly delusional. More often than not, items such as those cited are reactions (including blind loyalty to indoctrination), not choices. People react to circumstances and they unquestioningly respond to the strictures of indoctrination. They rarely make clear-headed, deliberate choices resulting from research, analysis, and evaluation.

I just go down, down, down, and every night it's the same nightmare; I'm clawing and scrabbling at the slimy, moss grown walls ofr a bottomless well, as I slip ever lower towards some nameless but all encompassing terror.
Other than that, How's by you?

When I start screaming, tortured by the terror of the shades of dark and nameless deeds the giolt for which rests squarely on my head, and gasping, my wife usually awakens me with a curse; and says: "For God's sake, go and see the DA, get it off your chest, what can they do? Send you to the chair?"
She's my helpmate and comforter, in between swigs.

And now I'm supposed to go and take one goddammed motor off one table saw and put it on another, a task which I know from experience will probably involve a concussion and a transfusion, and result in not a single circumnambulation of the toothed blade, so I can cut some goddammed fucking Formica (TM-MR) and laminate a fucking splash backing for the stove. A job for which I am both bt nature, nurture, and lack of training or experience, completely unfitted. Of course my wife thinks any guy who could get her cherry can do fucking anything, and I wish that fucking guy was here! Sorry, honey, sorry.
Anyway, that's my goddam lifestyle choice today, or rather the choice my distaff has made for me.
Maybe I can get away to the caucus at 1 pm at the Bummertown, High School.
Hot Democratic chicks, Oh my!

I'm more the poet-warrior-lover-dreamer type. I keep telling my wife.
"Damn it, Kirk! I'm a poet-warrior-lover-dreamer type! Not a handyman!"
Oh well, I got to keep in mind her previous matrimonial experience. It ended in bloodshed. His! She shot 'em! She gave 'em the gun!
(Didn't get the can out to the curb)
I like to sleep up in trees. You don't see me starting a blog about that. Though it does make for some interesting stories.

One question for Ms. Gottlieb: What if that glorious child of hers turns out to be fat or bald?
Will they be "worthy"? Will the values that she contributed to this world be visited upon the only person she has ever been able to love?

What's my parody posted above, chopped liver?
My old lady is telling me I'm gonna be "chopped lover" if I don't fix that table saw. Jeez, sweetie, put down that pint of vodka, and just bite through the godddammed laminate, you don't seem to have any trouble with my masculinity, very funny, yes, it's even thinner than that laminate.
You see what I put up with?

"Chance is a fool's name for fate, Chance is the foolish name for fate. / Give me a name for chance and I am a fool. / Fate is a foolish thing to take chances with. / I am a fate to take foolish chances with. / Chances are that fate is foolish. / Fate is the foolish thing. Take a chance." --Tonetti in Gay Divorcee (1934)
Love is long suffering,
love is kind,
it is not jealous,
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.
It is not discourteous,
it is not selfish,
it is not irritable,
it does not enumerate the evil.
It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth
