GravatarIt sure does make me want to support your candidate when folks tell me that mine sucks!


GravatarSpring in my Garden


GravatarFuck you!


Gravatar trifecta!


GravatarThe arm band in baseball:



Pulliam’s Passing

The earliest use of a memorial armband occurred following the death of National League President Harry Pulliam on July 29, 1909. Pulliam, who had battled with mental illness and was despondent over the stresses of his job, shot himself on July 25, though he did not pass away until four days later. On August 2, the day of Pulliam’s funeral, all major league games were postponed (a first in the history of the game). In memory of the former league president, each National League club donned black armbands on their left sleeve for the remainder of the season.

1909 was before 1968 I think.


GravatarFuck you.


GravatarHey Hecate. How goes things?


GravatarRussert on MSNBC has attention whore fagboy Andrew Sullivan and alcoholic Christopher Hitcxhens.


Gravatar/insulted beverage to trifecta


GravatarBut what if the person, say...Atrios, is a fucktard?


GravatarMcCain insults people with dismissive cruelty and claims he's being funny. Listen too him; he's not self-deprecating at all.


GravatarActually if you already know the person insulting them is a technique of persuasion.


GravatarI mock your value system.


GravatarAll candidates suck.


Gravatar1909 was before 1968 I think.

Sure, on the Gregorian calendar maybe...


GravatarAtrios: an honorable, simple, direct and true thing to say. Thank you.


GravatarI AM LEGEND


.


GravatarYo, Atrios - did someone say "fuck you" already?

Well, I'm saying it again!


GravatarYou shit-eating motherfuckers ought to all send me money.

Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator


Ur candidate sucks.



Hallo bats.....


GravatarI've been telling those cult-like kids for months now, insults are bad.


Gravatarwhich brings me to back to cindy mcpain's offer of free beer for life to those who vote for johnny


GravatarAlright...who wants to buy me a drank?


GravatarNot only is it an awesome way to persuade people; it also makes their opinions more fixed! Yup.


GravatarSilly Atrios, trolls already know all about how well insults persuade the deluded masses.


GravatarFrom below:

Would that sound like "DAVE TRADEMARK COPYRIGHT!" or "DAVE TMC!"?

Actually, Spocko and I already know each other, believe it or not - he wouldn't have to say anything!

And I'd be discreet enough not to mention "Spocko" in public (except when he finally gets to meet my lovely wife, who is quite intriged by the name)...


GravatarInsults? Like when "it" who shall not be mentioned calls me "Yicki" or another "it" who shall not be mentioned calls NTodd "Prickstein"?


Gravatarbye for now fablous moonbats

Gravataryou mean like when randi rhodes called hillary a "fucking whore?"


GravatarTake the idea that what I write proves that Ann Coulter was right about dfhs.

Reading that made me immediately go out to buy an Ann Coulter mask and to apply for a job at Townhall.


GravatarNot only is it an awesome way to persuade people; it also makes their opinions more fixed! Yup.

Some people cannot be reached by reason.

At which point insults and mockery won't reach them, but it will entertain the onlookers.

And everybody likes the guy that made you laugh.

GravatarBob And Doug (22x26') will air in January 2009 on Canada's Global TV, following the lives and adventures of two zany brothers living in the Canadian town of Maple Lake.

The cartoon's stars, Bob and Doug McKenzie, made their debut in 1980 on sketch comedy show SCTV, which ran on Canada's CBC and NBC in the US. The duo have since appeared on several television commercials in Canada and the US, and made their action figure debut in 2000.

Moranis and Thomas exec produce the series as well as providing the starring voices of the show, with Thomas heading the writing team.

"The Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy are famous and successful because of the clever writing. We have a team of 12 writers working on Bob And Doug and I think this writing is as good as anything on TV," said Thomas.

GravatarHey, Trademark Dave, was it you I remember talking about some apprenticeship program in the SF area that was having a hard time finding people?


GravatarWilliam Sloane Coffin:


Children are innocent and their innocence is beautiful, but adults should not be innocents. They should know that in the stream of human life it is not innocence but holiness that is our only option.

Nobody can doubt that the world would be a safer and saner place if somehow we Americans got over our self-righteousness in our foreign relations.

One more final thing, it is our pride-swollen faces that have closed up our eyes here at home to an almost unimaginable neglect of the poor, the bloat of the military, the size of the deficit, the sorrow of the aged and infirm among us. There are lots of implications to this and I find this tough text, "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword," is a wonderfully honest statement about the need for the sword of truth, Christ's sword of truth, that heals the wounds it inflicts.

GravatarMcCain practices the politics of honor: He thinks that whatever his instincts tell him is honorable must be so and that those who think otherwise are dishonorable. This makes him difficult to deal with but does no other harm, as long as it is kept separate from governing.

Gravatar...was it you I remember talking about some apprenticeship program in the SF area that was having a hard time finding people?

Could be. The Plumbers and Steamfitters Union would be the place to start. There were some stories in the local papers a year or two ago about trying to find people to work at the local refineries. Can't search for the exact articles at the moment, but that was the gist of it...

GravatarMcCain was 7 places from rock bottom in his class at the Naval Academy. None too smart.

I'm not arguing that McCain is smart. He may very well be dumb. But finishing at the Naval Academy, even near the bottom, means he's not *too* stupid. I'd really guess lazy.

GravatarMy father's favorite episode of "Get Smart" was the one where everyone was after a certain statuette that looked like a bird.

GravatarHe finished seventh from the bottom with two famous admirals with his name.

He could have passed only for that reason. Who wants to flunk the admiral's kid?


Gravatarhttp:// clivecrook.theatlantic.co...ed_the_race.php

In looking for information about Greg Sargent of Horse's Mouth (at TPM), I found a post about him, Krugman, and Clive Crook all pointing out that whatever was being called "racially insensitive" or "racist" about things said by Hillary and Bill were simply not either.

I hadn't read this piece by Crook when it came out. Still relevant.

All three blame the MCM.

Interesting to look at the mid-February comments at The Atlantic.

OK JP, I quit smoking (Dunhills) after 7 years of the things. Got a bad case of bronchitis at Easter and just decided that I had to quit. It is nice not to wheeze every morning. I guess guilt from taking a week off from work and not having my vacation time docked has also been a factor.

I just couldn't go back to work and smoke and feel my ethics were in the right place. Our CFO was so pleased to hear it (he used to smoke 5 packs a day) that he took all of the corporate office out to lunch to celebrate.

That is a great idea!


GravatarHow much light is it getting?

I have a northern exposure. It is not getting direct sunlight, but it's getting indirect light for about 5 hours/day.

When I got it on Sunday it was wet, so I let it alone. On Wednesday I gave it 2 cups of water. Today I felt it and it was dry to the bottom. I gave it another cup of water.

res ipsa loquitur

depends on type of soil, drainage etc.

dig down 3-4 inches, is soil is moist it will clump when squeezed. Just have to watch the leaves, they will tell you when they're thirsty. Yellow=too wet, green & dry too dry.


GravatarMcCain wasn't culpable in the Forrestal disaster. I'm not going to pin that shit on him.

GravatarSome plants have light sensors and others have temperature sensors.


GravatarWilliam Sloane Coffin graduated from the Phillips Academy, which geve Coffin a distinguished award, recognising a life's work for peace. From the citation:

A 1942 graduate of Phillips Academy, Coffin has led a varied and accomplished career often taking controversial stands on civil rights and peace issues. Coffin served as a World War II infantry officer and liaison to the French and Russian armies and later served as a CIA operative, training anti-Soviet Russians for operation within the Soviet Union. He graduated from Yale University in 1949 and later entered Yale Divinity School and received a bachelor of divinity degree in 1956. He was chaplain of Yale University (1957-1975), senior minister of the Riverside Church in New York City (1977-1987), and president of the nuclear disarmament advocacy group SANE FREEZE (1987-1990).

Coffin gained national prominence in the early 1960s as a Freedom Rider, one of a group of activists, black and white, who rode interstate buses in the South to protest segregation laws. He was arrested, but the conviction was later overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. During the Vietnam War, he gained national attention after his arrest (along with Dr. Benjamin Spock, graduate of the Phillips Academy Class of 1921), on charges of conspiracy to aid military draft resisters. The charges were dropped on appeal.

Coffin continues to lecture widely on the imperative of ending the global arms race and routinely calls on citizens to be what he calls “true patriots . . . those who love their country enough to address its flaws.”

George Bush is also a graduate of Phillips. One of these men is more distinguished than the other.


GravatarEchidne,

I watered them like the lady at the nursery told me, quite a bit, used the sprinkler to do it. They are in the back, away from the road.

Could the dog have killed them by peeing on them? I also have one of those big black walnuts about 30 feet from it.


I don't think the dog could have killed them all. There would be brown patches at the level where he could pee on them. The black walnut is a possibility, at least based on what I have read. You could ask the nursery people in your area. They know more about the local conditions.

Don't forget Magic Mark is the guy who suggested Rudy could go on being mayor after the election, just to reassure the poor citizens of nyc, and he also made some stupid racist remark during the campaign.

GravatarYes. I didn't say he caused it.

I started to respond to this and remembered the post this is connected to.

Being the victim of a fire is totally unrelated to being involved in starting it.


GravatarNBC Evening News starting with three airlines going under (ATA, Aloha (United wouldn't take the line for $1, according to friend in HA), and Skybus, north of NYC. Sky high fuel prices. Mentioned truckers being ruined by high diesel prices.

Over at ABC, covering healthcare story Hillary has been using in her speeches, a story told her by an Ohio county sheriff (or was it deputy sheriff?). Anyway, the hospital, unnamed in the anecdote now says the facts of the story are incorrect (Hillary was told woman had not insurance, couldn't come up with $100 bucks to get into the hospital, she and the baby died (stillborn)--hospital says the woman had insurance, was followed by a hospital affiliated OB group, was admitted, but both mother and baby did die.

Intro'd as story about Hillary not being honest with voters! Shades of Al Gore and the story about a girl not having a seat in her too large class, a story reported incorrectly apparently in the local paper, but the father gave Gore a note about the situation along with a newspaper clipping and photo. The MCM decided this was additional proof Gore was a "serial exaggerator" and "liar."

Then, ABC went on discussing how voters can trust anecdotes "told to politicians."

Well, yeah, how can anyone trust anyone else--without full vetting?

Hhhhmmmm....

Now, NBC up with new revelations about trans-Atlantic terror plot (the carry on liquids plot in 2006).

Be afraid! etc.
