So those strip miners in West Virginia didn't know what to do with the top of the mountain, so they just threw it in the river. Because there was this party later.
"We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party. MoveOn didn't even want us to go into Afghanistan. I mean, that's what we're dealing with. And you know they turn out in great numbers. And they are very driven by their view of our positions, and it's primarily national security and foreign policy that drives them. I don't agree with them. They know I don't agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me."

"Electability" means: "I wouldn't vote for the other candidate, but you probably would, because you aren't as wise and all-knowing as me. Therefore I must dumb down my preference and vote for the LCD (i.e., your candidate) in order to be sure 'we' win in November."
It is a recipe for disaster. It is the marching tune of the Pied Piper of the GOP, which is the MSM. It is the sure fire way to quench whatever passion you might have for your candidate, because you are condescending to me, who must be stupider than you, otherwise you wouldn't be worried about "electability."
Because we all know it's a numbers game, and "I" am among a small but wise minority, who must bend to the numerically superior but dumb majority. Which is what makes "electability:" the appeal to all those dumbasses I don't associate with, but who apparently elected W., because "our" last two candidates weren't "electable."

Tancredo, a Littleton Republican who ran for the presidential nomination largely on the immigration issue, said he was "not surprised," by Dean's comment.
"The far left has been siding with foreign governments, radical multiculturalists and illegal aliens in the immigration debate since Howard's famous scream in 2004," said Tancredo, referring to the boisterous yell Dean gave when he was running for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination.
"He might think this kind of pandering makes good political sense," Tancredo added. "But unfortunately for Mr. Dean and his friends on the left, American citizens — not illegal aliens — are the ones going to the polls this November."

The last time I checked the University of Chicago was an excellent school but Bobo can't seem to remove that roadblock in his psyche.
Quite frankly, I think he is jealous of Obama and he begrudges the Clinton's their Ivy league connections.

Been re-reading Eliot, and realizing (where was I all these years?) he has two themes: sex (that would make a 13 year old American boy blush!) and, once he re-married: time.
And that's about it. Impossible to read anything from Waste Land back without seeing it (where the HELL was I?). OTOH, very easy to overlook (if you just want to) the sexuality in Whitman.
It's stupid, but it can be done. Besides, everybody knows gay sex was invented by New York men in the '70's.
Man, Rove is a fucking knob:
In a more than 2,100-word letter containing 58 separate questions and written on April 13, Karl Rove blasted MSNBC’s Dan Abrams for reporting earlier this month on his alleged involvement in the politicized prosecution of former Alabama governor Don Siegelman, and for using the testimony of Republican operative Jill Simpson. Some excerpts:
– “Did you ever consider that the Governor’s security detail might have taken note of an ample-sized, redheaded woman who kept showing up at his events with a camera?”
– “In fact, it seems you believe that the absence of any concrete evidence is itself evidence of the conspiracy. If you don’t have any proof Karl Rove did it, that absence is proof enough. I am that good.”
– “As a matter of fact, I had other things to occupy my time in the White House in 2002 rather than ’structuring’ a campaign for an Alabama gubernatorial candidate.”

Thanks, I will. I am. My only concern is: I write my sermons, and recite them almost word for word (I'm careful to not make it sound like a recitation, but it is). Lectures I wing.
I don't know if I can change that practice, since I tend to lecture with a whiteboard to make notes on.
So I'll listen to yours and seek my academic muse....
A trillion dollars could buy a lot of flag pins.
Just like the U.S. some months from now:
'South African President Thabo Mbeki, in particular, no longer looks like a fair broker in this process - continued delay looks to strengthen Mugabe’s hand and weaken Tsvangarai’s. As MDC faction leader Arthur Mutambara argued in his letter issued to celebrate Zimbabwe’s independence, “What does Mugabe need to execute his evil strategy? Just a one word answer would do: Time.” As long as Mbeki continues to insist that there’s no crisis in Zimbabwe, there’s less pressure on Mugabe, and ZANU-PF gets the time to challenge parliamentary seats, to attempt a more effective rigging of run-off elections, to portray the first round of elections as incomplete and incompetently run.
That Zimbabwe hasn’t seen violence or widespread protest gives Mugabe time as well. Had Zimbabweans responded to failure to call the election by taking to the streets, that might have strengthened MDC’s hand - the failed strike of earlier this week sends a message that the population is (understandably) tired and scared, and may not be willing to rise up should election results not be honored.'

If I knew how to do that I certainly would.

Auggiesback is funny. It's funny because 'you can't make this stuff up.' The same with the Republican debates. We don't need elaborate comedy from CoT when it comes to Republicans, all you have to do is type what the say. That's the simple truth.
Yes, auggiesback is parody and yes some of it really is funny.
Your problem, however, is a stupid confusion that makes you suspect he's rightwing instead of parody so not only don't you laugh, you literally attack him. A perfect example of misplaced anger.
Charlie Pierce thinks Stephanopolous is a hypocrite.
Not long ago, while cruising through the cable universe looking for something to watch that didn't involve the Knights Templar or a really big tumor, I came upon The War Room, Chris Hegedus' documentary about the 1992 Clinton campaign that starred those two Sorkinite heartthrobs, James Carville and George Stephanopoulos. Look how clever they are. See James drink a beer and talk like Doug Kershaw on Quaaludes while falling for Mary Matalin, who, as the movie was being filmed, had just rejoined the Republican campaign fresh off her acclaimed performance in the TV movie V. And see George there, on the telephone, severely chastising an anonymous reporter who'd called for a comment because the reporter had heard that Bill Clinton might have been making The Sign Of The Undulating Two-Headed Iguana with a woman not his wife. See George deplore how the campaign has descended to this gutter level, as though Bill Clinton would have a girlfriend, and as though this kind of thing would materially affect the way President Bill Clinton would do his job. George is shocked by this, and saddened. And he fears for the reporter's professional life. See George tell the reporter that, if the reporter runs with this lurid, innuendo-laden trash, he will have no friends any more among the Important People in Washington. His career will be over. Nobody will talk to him again. Ever. He will have to eat his lunch in the cafeteria alone, every day, while everyone at the Cool Kids table mock him. He will never get picked for basketball. This is not the kind of thing that has any place among the serious issues that will affect all Americans, and it is far beneath the proper parameters of what is proper dialogue for something as important as a presidential race.
See George.

History’s hands hold in their grasp no perfect men. We’ve never elected one and never will, but if we could, what would the perfect president look and act like?
That’s the question taken up in Stephanopoulos’s The Perfect President, to be published by Hyperion next spring. Todd Brewster, who cowrote In Search of America and The Century with Peter Jennings, will lend a hand.
Stephanopoulos—now broadcast royalty as host of ABC’s Sunday show This Week—will cull through the presidents, “examining the often surprising characteristics that have contributed to presidential greatness.”

Bill Clinton's popularity stemmed both from the fact that we vicerally like young Presidents (FDR wasn't 55 yet, nor was Lincoln), we like peacetime Presidents, "Junior doesn't have to get mangled, cool", and we like Presidents who at least try to empathize with the 94.7% of the population, who actually worry about where their next meal will come from, in the long run.

Had my hopes for Carter. He got out and walked on inauguration day; it was a breath of fresh air.
One of the more colossal blunders we've made, in retrospect, was not paying attention to Carter's drive for energy independence and conservation. The mind fairly boggles at the improvement over current conditions had he even partially succeeded.

There aren't a lot of great views of Rainier from the Eastside. There are some residential neighborhoods over south of I-90, but if you don't live up there you might get some funny looks.
My personal favorite view of Rainier is from Drumheller Fountain at UW, in the middle of a campus quad that points right straight at it. It's basically right across the 520 bridge from Kirkland.

I remember wanting Nixon to be reelected. But I was for Carter in the next election. I remember a kid named Jim walking around the playground calling him "Carter the Farter."
Even though I had no rebuttal since nothing rhymes with Ford (fijord?), Jim was not particularly persuasive.

And let us not forget my friendwho, while working his way thru law school had been indulging in his hobby of ballroom dancing. So - there we were, mildly tiddly, and with a small but capable dance band and a late night dance floor, nearly empty. You have not lived if you have not danced a full bore Viennese waltz, late at night, with the sea breeze playing thru the potted palms....

What's interesting about the FLDS debacle is that they appear to be treating the children *as a class* as "at risk". One would imagine that a Constitutional argument could be made that more evidence would be needed to take kids away from their folks.
But I would have no problem whatsoever with an exception being made for children "held captive primarily for religious indoctrination purposes."

Agh, no proofreading. Dad got to meet John Anderson (and an aide) in the elevator of the Whitehall hotel in Chicago in 1982.

That's so lovely. Makes me want to get up and dance.
john anderson was an actual 'liberal' republican????????????
Some day we will discover that the mainstream LDS has a pedophilia issue too...
That discovery might already have occurred if Romney were in the race.
i voted for him lotsa times
i'd vote for him again
More years ago than I wish to count, after a night spent dancing the galop in the Bradbury Building as a senior member of the Sherlock Holmes Society, I and two dear friends decamped to one of the old hotels in Santa Monica, to finish the evening. We were, you understand, attired in our best SH garb ... I in black peau de soie and rose chiffon, my friends in evening dress with sashes and medals.... And let us not forget my friendwho, while working his way thru law school had been indulging in his hobby of ballroom dancing. So - there we were, mildly tiddly, and with a small but capable dance band and a late night dance floor, nearly empty. You have not lived if you have not danced a full bore Viennese waltz, late at night, with the sea breeze playing thru the potted palms....

I'm, I suppose second generation. My Calgary physician (the one who counselled my poor parents that they were TOO DAMNED SICK AND SKINNY AND TIRED TO MAKE BABIES - GO AWAY AND GET HEALTHY FIRST - and who was right) Dr. Scarlett, was a member of the Baker Street Irregulars.... One of the very few outside of England, at the time. Moi, I still retain the founding papers of the LA Non-Canonical Calabashes. Many a contest, many a fete did I attend. And, being in LA, we fostered quite a few movie interpretations.
Awright. What is the deal with Hillary's audio tape?
I won't dance
Very touching rendition of that in Warm Springs.

In today's interpretation, yes.
I'd have to go back and really study what he was running on back in 1980 to see whether I'd still vote for him. But mom and dad used him as a gateway out of the republican party.

Running mate in 1980 was Patrick Lucey, a former Democratic governor of Wisconsin, IIRC.
What was Chimpy's yearbook like? His grandfather is a sitting US Senator.
His father is a "woo-hoo" Yale Texas oil man.

You've not lived 'till you've had a three way with the likes of Dick Cheney and Tom Delay in the green room of FOX news!

Yeah, his intro's there, and his "thank you's" at the end to whiskeyina, fildertom, the rude pundit and hamell.
What more could you ask for?
Rancho Troutski sits at about 800 feet in elevation a few miles north of Seattle. It is coming down hard now. My new plants are so dead.

You safety patrol people had bigger badges than the local police department.

You're really sweet to say that. Thank you. I've been trying to keep politics out of my life lately and it's made my life better. Not that I haven't been keeping track of what's going on, I just need to keep the stuff from my front burner. I've been keeping very busy with work and my computers.

Love Holmes and Watson. Grew up on the books, and on the Rathbone/Bruce movies. Found Gould's annotated Holmes endlessly fascinating.

I can't turn my back for one moment, with this toddler. Sigh.
You need to give the backstory to people.
Oh crap. There goes a big cottonwood. Just snapped as I was watching. This heavy snow is not good at all. And I got a hot date tonight.

Somehow I doubt it. Diana's never commented at my place before.

I was voted "friendliest" and "best personality" in 8th grade. They made me choose one or the other.

It sounds like you are following Chris Elliot's advice.

It's funny that after somebody clicks on a link to animalblogging, they look over the entire front page and find a post about Emma Watson, ignoring all the other shit including war tax resistance, and conclude that this is why I'm divorced....
And the award for 'Most likely to have a starring role in a 'Chuck' Bukowski poem' goes to............
Cheryl Vriscomble from home room 336!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't worry, NTodd. I bet nobody has called you a feminazi who has never worked a single day in her life.
How hard did you work for Kucinich, gary?

Sadly, no. But really, would it hurt you to get a job after you fetch me an eclair?
So, Hannity is trying to tie Barack Obama into the Million Man March in Chicago in 1995. Mentioning Wright.
He is so pulling at straws.
I remember when the March happened. I was proud for the folks who had the wherewithal to attend.
