Thankee 
You know, just the other day i was reading a Cal Thomas diatribe to the effect that, the news from Iraq is so good, that the Democratic hopes of electoral victory based on rooting agains the good patriotic Murikans fighting the war are doomed to fail. Success/victory in Iraq is coming, and thus Republican victory in the next elections is also assured.
Cal Thomas: Stoned, Stupid, or Senile?

Stupid.
Cal Thomas is stupid.

Cal Thomas wrote a story a couple of years back admitting that George McGovern was right about Vietnam. I suspect that there is some clause in his contract with Satan that requires him to speak truth once every 25 years.

Kind of related to the Klaus thread one down. Journalism of the W&B era was concerned with communicating facts, maybe even that elusive thing called 'truth', or 'Truth'.
Journamalism today is a subset of advertising, selling convenient positions or interpretations. Some call it "catapulting the propaganda".
It's no wonder that the Klauses of the world seek to confuse the two. The lingering legitimacy of today's journamalism comes solely from confusing it with the old form. Otherwise the American people's skepticism of commercials would kick in.

Why the thugs win - it's not just the cold professionalism of their politics compared with the mush of the dem politicos - it is also that cold professionalism of the activists compared with the foolishness of the democratic activists.
The thug anti-choice base is lining up behind Guiliani despite the lateness of his conversion because they want to keep power and install a fascist religious white supremacist dictatorship and they keep their eyes on the prize. The democratic base spent much of last week in hysterics about Obama inviting a anti-gay gospel singer to an event because they don't have any ability to think clearly about what is at stake.
Well V, it's a long story.
My new jobpartner was the social worker for a homeless woman several years ago. This woman got into public housing about 3 years ago.
She died several weeks ago in bed. They think. When she didn't pay rent, they opened the apartment. Her body was sitting there for a couple weeks. The gasses popped out, and she bled out and defecated all over the place.
They got a hold of her son, who was in Iraq, who was estranged, and he refused to come back and take care of her friends. My friend was listed as the woman's next trustee.
We spent the afternoon yesterday opening up the windows and clearing the bedding, the mattress, and such from the apartment.
It took several hours for the smell to escape me. We used vapor rub on our nose, but it really didn't help too much.
I suspect today will be a better day.

Even though he is a class a asshole, there is something to say about William Buckley. He is against the Iraq war, is pro legalization of marijuana, and isn't totally stupid.
K-Lo and Jonah Goldberg and Rich Lowry are his replacements at National Review. I think conservative brains are devolving.
Goldwater and Buckley to these fucking clowns? It would be sad if they didn't have power through this administration.
i discovered Talisker while visiting the Isle of Skye, where it is distilled. Wondrous stuff. And unfortunately pricey beyond hope in the US.
i don't drink in the morning either. (Well, not since many a year ago). And a six pack of Guinness lasts me six months, if the wife doesn't nab some for cooking purposes (Sacreligious wench!). But i do wish i could afford to taste the Talisker again........

Offhand thought: maybe intellectual muscles are like physical ones - they are developed by pushing agains resistance.
when a Buckley was pushing memes far outside the mainstream, he had to be plausible, supported, thought-out to avoid being an object of fun (or a tinfoil hat on the streetcorner).
K-lo, Goldberg, et al are pushing the current > media < mainstream of thought. That's not something that takes any great amount of thinking, nor effort, and certainly no research........

i don't drink in the morning either. (Well, not since many a year ago).
I don't get the appeal of it. I'm almost glad I fell out with the Titans tailgating clan, since they were always wanting to get there on game day at 7:30-8:00 a.m., and would insist on starting drinking, right away.

I think the best lessons for Democratic victories are Ed Rendell's primary and general elections for his first term as governor.
Bob Casey lost with the support of labor and older voters, gun advocates and westerners--the traditional Democratic constituencies thought necessary to win a Democratic primary. Ed Rendell won with younger voters, gun control advocates, African-Americans, suburbanites and easterners--constituencies traditionally most often on the losing side.

Animals and owners find refuge from flames on San Diego beach
By GILLIAN FLACCUS, Associated Press Writer Friday, October 26, 2007
10-26) 13:56 PDT SAN DIEGO, (AP) --
For the past week, the residents of Fiesta Beach have included uptight horses, frightened finches and designer dogs — as well as pet owners trying to make it all seem like home.
The island in Mission Bay became an animal refuge after wildfires broke out last weekend across Southern California.
Dozens of horse trailers lined the beach, and horses grazed on hay in makeshift corrals or trotted along the water's edge.
Oscar Gonzalez, 52, was not sure if his 16-acre homestead in Deerhorn Valley had survived the blaze, but he took solace in his pets — four cats, seven Shar-Peis, four parakeets, two parrots, a yellow pheasant and two finches. He said two other finches died of stress Wednesday.
Gonzalez rounded up his menagerie and their supplies — but no provisions for himself or his wife — as they fled flames that came within 100 yards of their house.
As a smoky scent hung in the air Thursday, motor boats streaked by on the bay and farriers shod horses.
"They're not used to having so many people around," Gonzalez said. "You have all this commotion, all these boats coming up here, they get nervous."
For Christopher Richter, who moved his four horses, eight dogs and four cats at least five times during the week, the peace of Fiesta Beach felt therapeutic.
"When we got here, there was smoke around, but the air quality for us and our animals was a lot better because of the breezes," he said.
One of his friends was fleeing the town of Ramona with three horses in tow when the fire overtook the horse trailer, killing the animals. His friend escaped the cab with seconds to spare.
Richter's girlfriend, Nicole Hancock, pampered a steed with a bottle of Gatorade while other residents brought crates of apples, carrots and sugar cubes for the horses.
"This is the most time I think I've spent at the beach since I've lived in San Diego," she said.
this ain't more bad news from o'er thar. it's just an early start to tricky or treaty.

Virginia explains is all: There is some kind of water or sewer line that runs directly under that end of the swing set. Someone was doing construction activity at another point along that line and causing it to transmit vibrations too small for people to feel, but enough to accumulate to make the swing move.

I am wondering if there might not be some unintended positive fallout from the House Judiciary Committee screw-up of the e-mail list. Now there are 150 people who know they aren't alone in their concerns/suspicions. Now the DOJ knows they can't clamp down on their problems by putting the squeeze on one or two "problem" employees.

If too few people volunteer, some will be ordered to go and risk dismissal if they refuse, Mr Thomas said.
Directed re-assignment. Turn it down and you're fired - one of the few really efficient ways to eliminate a career civil servant.

You are dead to me.
Rivera was a P-I-G pig. But he did have an artful soul.
My daughter was seeing a shrink after she got booted out of Andover in her senior year. The woman was Mexican and on her wall in the waitingroom, in the middle of other run of the mill paintings was a small original pencil or charcoal (am I an art expert or what?) sketch by D. Rivera. Could have swiped it a dozen times.
Dylan had injured his vocal chords during the motorcycle crash. It temporarily fixed his voice, but then his old bad one came back, thank G-d.
Bad Art
Not really. He just likes to sing that way.
Dylan credited his "new" voice to quiting smoking before recording the song, but some unreleased bootleg tapes from the early '60s reveal that this was an aspect of his vocal persona that he had actually possessed since at least that time.[1]

Great album in my opinion. Kriss Kristofferson was the janitor at Columbia studios at the time and the anecdote about the drum track on L,L,L is a riot.

CSNY's cover of Woodstock was better than Joni Mitchell's original.
I liked the Matthews' Southern Comfort version, personally...

Laugh if you like, she was a good drummer, and a drummer who could sing.

Just do what the good book,

Do what the good book tells you to!
Oh yeah, yeah yeah!

now you have a goal...
Dylan's latest stuff is wonderful. Love & Theft, 'specially.
Hell must have frozen over.
We agree on something.
[wink]
Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft, and Modern Times are my favorite Dylan albums.
Oh yeah, yeah yeah!

I'd watch that movie again right now if Netflix wasn't being all MS fascist on my Mac-using ass.

Karen Carpenter had one of the best voices I have ever heard in a pop singer. Crystal clear, perfect tone. Always hated their music and Dick Nixon-ish personaes when I was young, but now I realize what she had for talent.

Sorry aboot that.

Heh.
Music's always so subjective, I hazard to get into these discussions lest they become completely unsupported arguments, as they invariably do. People like what they like, and good on everyone. Me, I think I'm more lyrically oriented than most, who have on the flip side seem to have a higher appreciation of the musical technique side of things than I do. Whatever.

yeah, I would love a solid hour about teh George-Laura relationship instead...

Great voice, but that only caused her talent in the predominantly male dominated field of percussion to be under-rated and unnoticed.
Me, I think I'm more lyrically oriented than most,
I am too -- it's the words what gets me.
Except for anything that's heavily Africa -- then it's the rhythm.

Take that, Meg White!
There be sheets full of wank.

I've always been the opposite. For years I just looked at the vocals as another instrument adding to the sound.

See, there you go. Each is different, none is "right," except for themselves.
Gimme a few minurtes... I'm firing up the codec....
I was looking at that phrase, and thinking if civilization collapsed and someone from the future was somehow reading that or other snippets of our language. How strange it would read.
What would they think current people were talking about?
Author: I am going to spend the next 20 minutes going over every detail of the monical lewinsky thing
Russert: i want details!!
Author: let's talk about monica some MORE!!!
Russert: how can a feminist be married to a guy who had a affair
author: yes she is evil
Tim: sex sex sex sex sex
V for Virginia:Joni Mitchell does a really nice "Both Sides Now" that was included in the "Love Actually" soundtrack
