AndyMN,
My roommate is the curator of a deep Rudy Ray Moore DVD collection here at chez Jay C.
RIP, disco godfather!
Nathan Rabin's eulogy here.
Moore had a unique delivery where he a-cen-tu-ated every syllable in a strangely hypnotic fashion so that a classic line like "Doctor, what is this angel dust?" (from Avenging Disco Godfather) became "Doc-Tah. Wh-ut isa thisa an-gel dust-ah?"
Interviewing Moore was one of the highlights of my career. Please do check this shit out] As a teenager I was obsessed with Moore. I used to wear a name tag at Blockbuster that read "Human Tornado" and called my boss Petey Wheatstraw, the Devils' Son in Law. He did not find it terribly amusing.

Congratulations, you kookie kids. Marriage can be many things. Sometimes you two will find yourselves gliding on with the wind at your back and clear skies as far as the horizon. Other times you will be lashed by every element known to man. It is how you handle both situations that will make you husband and wife.

"A new CBS News/New York Times poll finds that President-elect Barack Obama is the recipient of the highest levels of optimism and expectations of any modern president.
Seventy-nine percent of Americans say they are optimistic about the next four years, according to the poll. Only 16 percent say they are pessimistic."

Jessica Valenti is so beautiful. If only she and I were both gay, we could totally not get married. (Congrats to them, and yay for bloggy love, because, why not? Love is good.)
Hecate, could you please knit me some sunglasses? I don't need the hat so much, but if I get expensive sunglasses I can't really afford, I know I will break them or lose them immediately, and if I get crap sunglasses (which cannot be knitted, don't try) I will never ever be able to lose them.
I kinda want to watch television, and I will for the highlights, but dear jeebus, coverage of big events is so canned and pre-masticated (e.g. the Olympics) that I...oh, whatever. Jeez. I remember a grade school teacher of mine got to go to JFK's inauguration. She said she wore a white dress with rhinestones. She was so excited. She wasn't real pretty, but I suspect she looked beautiful that night.
It's a sad day when even a loser like Kevin Drum has to pay trolls to advertise for him.

How the Stimulus Bill Will Play Out in the Economy
By: Ian Welsh Saturday January 17, 2009 5:00 pm 1
diggs
digg it
1. It is large enough that it will probably get the economy out of a technical recession. Which is to say, GDP will stop dropping.
2. It's too small and too badly constructed to stop the ongoing job losses. Fewer people will be employed in December than are today.
3. There's a lot of money for energy, but it's not enough. Needs to be about 200 billion, and needs to have a long term commitment so that industry will get behind it hard....

That settles it. GWPDA, will you marry me?

My Arabia is Finnish china from a factory called Arabia. It was named after that part of Helsinki during a time when lots of parts were given names of other countries.
Off to read. Our everyday/fancy china is from the Joseph Abboud Home collection. This may sound snobby, but don't save your good china for a special occasion. Everyday you wake up is a special occasion. Use it daily. You and your loved ones are worth it.

A homemade carrot cake (mine calls for 1 cup of drained, crushed pineapple, and homemade cream cheese frosting). I'm making a fresh green salad. A fruit salad with cantaloupe, honey dew, watermelon, grapes, blueberries, and blackberries. And banana bread (for Max, my 10 year old nephew). That's it. I trust it is enough for the family.

Scientists have found that the pleasure women get from making love is directly linked to the size of their partner’s bank balance.
They found that the wealthier a man is, the more frequently his partner has orgasms.
“Women’s orgasm frequency increases with the income of their partner,” said Dr Thomas Pollet, the Newcastle University psychologist behind the research.
He believes the phenomenon is an “evolutionary adaptation” that is hard-wired into women, driving them to select men on the basis of their perceived quality.

Let's for a moment assume that the responses in that study actually showed greater numbers of orgasms reported by those women whose partners had more money. Did the study control for education differences? These tend to go with incomes and in a place like China more educated women are perhaps more likely to admit that they orgasm.
Did the study control for the woman's own income? If women who had high incomes themselves also reported more orgasms then the basic evo-psycho theory is shot.
Did the study take into account the fact that in a country like China income differences are vast and many, many people have so little money that they are desperate? Desperate women are less likely to have orgasms.
Crepe parties are even better

I'm still stunned by another evo-psycho study which I actually read in the original. The author had no statistical understanding and made terrible mistakes. But because these guys publish in their own journals nobody caught any of them. Even though the mistakes mean that it's not possible to say what the study actually found if anything.
how do you spell that cluelessness sound tim the toolman taylor makes?
boiling our blood to the very end:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush administration is aggressively pushing back against a federal court order instructing the most important offices in the White House to preserve all of their e-mail.
In court papers late Friday, the administration argued that a federal court has no authority to impose such a requirement on the offices of President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and the National Security Council.
The issue underscores the administration's narrow view of the court's authority in lawsuits over the White House's problem-plagued e-mail system.
The administration argued that none of the court's orders can apply to parts of the White House subject to the Presidential Records Act.
The issue arose Wednesday after U.S. District Judge Henry Kennedy directed the White House to issue a notice to all employees to surrender any e-mails from March 2003 to October 2005.
Justice Department lawyers argued that the order applied only to White House offices subject to the Federal Records Act, prompting a quick response from U.S. Magistrate Judge John Facciola, who is working with Kennedy on the case. Facciola said that all White House offices must be searched for e-mail.

Mrs. Moe wrote a review of a book discussing the possible evolutionary purposes of the female orgasm. The author's argument, in a nutshell, is that most of the explanations are bullshit, and that the real reason is that, basically, the female orgasm is a happy accident. Mrs. Moe agreed with the general premise but thought she could tighten up the argument in various ways.
Then, turns out, the author of the book is the ex of a drinking buddy of mine. Hilarity ensues.

Yeah, cool stuff. I read that last night.
The theory seems to rely in part on the existence of Hawking radiation, which has never been observed.

I haven't really read the field, but male orgasm is no more required. You could have ejaculation without any increase in good feelings, for instance. So my theory is that orgasms in both sexes are to make sex more enjoyable and to prolong it so that there's a greater chance of fertilization.

That's a hypothesis I might be willing to contemplate.

The book is fascinating, and I recommend it. You get into all sorts of theories of sexual identity, lesbianism as a survival strategy, etc.
Here's the book.
And this from the writeup is hilarious:
David Buss, professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin, who raised this question in his book The Evolution of Desire believes female orgasms have several possible purposes.
"They could promote emotional bonding with a high-quality male or they could serve as a signal that women are highly sexually satisfied, and hence unlikely to seek sex with other men," he said. "What those orgasms are saying is 'I'm extremely loyal, so you should invest in me and my children'."
Yah. They can promote emotional bonding with a high-quality male OR a low-quality male (however quality is defined). But why? In his world the men don't care about the woman's pleasure.
And how do orgasms say that the woman is extremely loyal? What utter shit. They could be telling that she'll run out and get the next guy passing by the hut to do the same nice thing.
And then there's Hef and his girlfriend:
Former girlfriend of playboy founder Hugh Hefner, Kendra Wilkinson, has revealed that she cheated on him during her stay in the Playboy mansion. Kendra has admitted that she used to sneak out of the mansion to have fun.
"I had to have sex every now and then, so I had to kind of sneak it," the Daily Telegraph quoted Kendra, as telling US weekly. "Besides the nights we went out, I only saw Hef, like, once a day walking through the halls to his office. There were never solo dates, The most we kind of say to each other is, ''I love you,'' ''Love you too,'' ''I hope you have a good day,'' ''Did you have a good day?'' " Kendra added.
Tough to get 82...
I hope I haven't been name stolen on this thread. Although if that made the cavewomen want to breed with me...
Jared Diamond (of "Guns, Germs and Steel" & "Collapse" fame) wrote a book called "Why Sex is Fun"

Actually this fits into the whole Castaneda, Yaqui way theology. That the universe is not as we perceive it. We perceive it as it is because it's been meticulously described to us from birth.
The universe is really a force in the cosmos that radiates lines of light and feeds on awareness. We are born merely to provide food for that source. We increase our awareness by living and when we die, the force eats us. The descriptions of how that force looks, if you could really SEE it, sound very much like the discoveries of quantum physics.
I aquired a copy of the Band's 1971-1972 New Year's Eve Concert, Rock of Ages today.

I think it was his own invention. He was probably a fraud, but I think he invented it by distilling his knowledge of indigineous spirtual practices.

America has made half the effort necessary to restore it's good name by electing Obama. In order to fully restore its' rightful place as world leader, it will need to see to it that those responsible for the crimes of the past 8 years are brought to justice.

Well, you will be glad to hear that there's an evolutionary explanation for earworms! Yes, indeed. They make a warning song less likely to be ignored so in the past humans ran away from saber tooth tigers because of their earworms. Then they went home where high-quality males got nookie and all other males committed evolutionary suicide. Hence George Bush and Laura's unending orgasmic storms.

My thoughts are with all of you great people, and I am truly sorry to be such a gloomy person but five months of not eating does that to a person.

Now go watch Giant Spiders From Mars and have some popcorn, you red-haired sweety.

Yes, We Cake.
That is so cool!
I'm taking pix of this cake, and adding it to my cooking blog.
I have the content, I haven't started the blog yet. (Weird Xmas, then got sick, yadda yadda -- just starting to feel better.)
What Mellish said!!!
I'm trying to stop crying. Really, I am.
No. If you need to keep crying, then cry.
It's gonna be alright. It will. If crying helps, it helps.
Moe, don't choke on your own rage. And, we know where you're really going:

Robert Montgomery seems not at all himself on TCM. Pretty good.

Too brilliant.
I have this fantasy of arresting Fawn Hall and searching her for documents in unconstitutional ways.

I could just color a little bit of frosting and pipe it on, too...
Hmmmmm.
Just thinking about would would work best.

Man, that was funny.
men of good fortune often cause empires to fall.

Karin, you should be so proud of those cheesecakes.
They are beautiful.
A lot of times if there ain't a medical solution, then it could very well be a surgical problem.
We've all been wishing the best for you for some time now, DWD. It's high time you had a change of luck. I'll keep sending good thoughts your way.
Ta ta!
Marriage is like sixth dimensional geometry or something.
I just now figured out Mrs. Moe's brilliant strategy for getting me to warm up the bed for her. We've been married for like a thousand years, but she's been plotting this shit for like five thousand years. Or, maybe she's just way smarter than me.
Good night, all.
Moe
i hope the rewards are worth the warmth.
I know you kids hate The Cure, but I love them.
sallyh: you'll stop crying when you're good and ready. I'd guess you've had it coming for years. Wouldn't stop it sooner than you need to, myself, as long as you're not alone with it. Which you're not...

Your pecker AGAIN?
But those cakes at yeswecake.com are really professional looking.
DWD: keep in touch--if I can help you let me know
all the best; take it easy, but take it
The Cure was last night. Tonight it must be something else. Maybe Tears for Fears?
Sentimentalism seems to be making a comeback.

"'zackly. And David Sirota's gonna throw a shit fit, regardless."
yup. he's part of the lw rage/concern industry. it's a gig, that's all. someone's gotta fill them column inches.

It's a hologram.

You talking to me?
Who hates The Cure? Not I! What I do hate is this headache from downing 2 shots of bourbon in celebration of the Obama Train. Night, gentle batsies.

Soon there will be thread, as I just stopped in. Many congrats to the betrothed.

There's enough real shit to fill space, why invent it?
The Cure only wrote one good song.

it's only the 6th, how many pictures of everybody's pussies have I had to look at?
You talking to me?
I was but it was because I had skipped the previous comments, so I thought you were making a deep statement in a sudden way. My apologies.

Have fun.
good point, 1watt. Carry on.
I love them.
You suck even worse than I thought. Nobody can like stuff I like.

Part of me doesn't really care, but OTOH, I think he's being a jerk for jerk's sake. I just loathe that he starts every post with "In my column this week.." or "As I mentioned in my book...".
I'm gonna lay down and try to imagine myself ever being cool enough to do this...night:

Actually, I was making a deep statement in a sudden way. I only have so many deep statements to go around.

that's exactly why I invented 'ShitSpace.com' - place where even the most ardent troll enabler can find new ways to make themselves feel significant ...

Hee! I like him sometimes, but he can be the ultimate purity troll.
And I don't hate the cure, but damned if I can tell their songs apart. Hearing them briefly shaves two or three decades off my psyche.
Er, um...this:

TPM: now that's something I can say with confidence I'll never come within a light year of attempting...
In the spirit of today's football festivities, I think we could say that Golis has "outkicked his coverage."
Now Go Cards!
