GravatarAll the rethugs are doing now is throwing out shit, hoping something will stick. The story this a.m. about having a hissy fit cause Michelle's mom will be spending some time in the WH was a crock. As is all this crap about Franken.

GravatarKunta Kinte is the central character of the novel, Roots: The Saga of an American Family by American author Alex Haley, and of the television mini-series Roots, based on the book. Haley described his book as faction - a mixture of fact and fiction.

After Haley's book became nationally famous, American author Harold Courlander noted that the section describing Kinte's life was apparently taken from Courlander's book The African. Haley at first dismissed the charge, but later issued a public statement affirming that Courlander's book had been the source, and Haley attributed the error to a mistake of one of his assistant researchers.

Gravatar"Republicans say that Franken isn't an 'honorable opponent.'"

Franken is a scumbag, plain and simple. I've watched that doofus attacking republicans and independents, attempted character assasination of Bill O'Reilley (for misspeaking about a Polk award!), Rush, Sean Hannity, etc. And he was a flop on the radio. And he's not even funny. Now he tries to cheat his way into the U.S. Senate with a biased election board.

Gravatar"Yeah, Franken made up all that stuff about Bill Orally being a fraud, liar and megalomaniac."

O'Reilly stated on one or two occassions that his former program, Instant Edition (or whatever it was called) had won two "Peabody" awards. In fact, the program won two "Polk" awards. A Polk is a prestigious award, nonetheless. O'Reilly claims he misspoke. Franken is on a Jihad, claiming this is the smoking gun proving that republicans lie about everything.

The man is insane, a jackass and a joke (but not the funny kind).


Gravatar"You ain't woman enough to take my man."

(Seriously, that's on an infomercial right now...)

"I was raised on country sunshine."

I love that you *get* the national parks.

So many people don't, much to my dismay.

Every major vacation I take revolves around visiting as many NPs and I can fit in.

Goal: to see every one of them before I pass.

So far, I'm torn between Great Smoky Mountains, Glacier, and Yellowstone as favorites. But I can't really claim a favorite; they're just too beautiful. All of 'em.

GravatarVicki, I went to Yellowstone in the 80's, but we stayed in the northern part, away from the geysers and the tourist hordes.

It was gorgeous.


We went the first week after Memorial Day. Not many people (some lakes still had ice on 'em, too). Cold mornings, shorts weather in the afternoon. Animals largely still down in the valleys.

4 days and it wasn't quite enough. This was back in the pre-digital days and I shot 48 rolls of film in those 4 days. Talked to a retiree working in one of the shops and he'd brought 480 rolls for the summer, but thought he'd run out.

Gravatar"Not when Orally was working on it, of course, but it's perfectly fine to lie by omission if you're a member of the ruling class."

One of the awards was won while O'Reilly was still with the program. Based on his statements, it's not clear he meant to imply that he was responsible for the awards.

But go ahead and keep deluding yourself that democrat pundits and politicians never misspeak or distort the truth. People like you assure people like me that conservatism will prevail - sooner or later - as the reigning ideology in this nation.

I try to hit the parks in off season. We were on the north side after Labor Day so not many people there. Being so close, we've been able to go up several times to the south side, but it's a ton farther to the north. Beautiful drive past the Echo and Vermillion Cliffs, though.

And I'd love to get up to the Picture Rocks. When we were still in Kansas I had a big loop planned for Wisconsin and the UP and across the bridge down through the mitten and back.

Okay, I was lost for a moment. Or two.


GravatarOK Vicki, I bit on the "sheets" remark.


GravatarOkay, I don't totally agree. Although I tend to ignore the trolls.

GravatarPhysicians for National Health Care comes out against Gupta

Dear PNHP members and friends,

The report this week that President-elect Obama is considering Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, for the position of U.S. surgeon general is deeply troubling.

Among our concerns are these:

No one could have predicted . . .

GravatarSorry about that, bill.

I meant no malice.

Just dogging JR.


GravatarAs a Patriots fan, I'd like to see the Eagles take the NYGiants out. But it ain't goin' to happen.


Gravatar'Atrios, the Giants have a little something planned for your iggles tomorrow..

They just recieved a shipment of cans of whoopass.'


As soon as you tell me how Westbrook is, I'll either disagree or agree with you. Its just that simple. Healthy Westbrook (doubtful), Iggles win. If he's hurt, Eli waltzes to the Superbowl, again.


GravatarNew one. "Arena."

didn't know it existed.


GravatarFeeling better, Vicki?

GravatarI saw the coolest bison there. So close, too....
Vicki

Did you get to hit the National Bison Range while you were up there? Last time I was there we were surrounded by Big Horn Sheep. They were all around the car and close enough to touch. We didn't.


GravatarHamas leader says last chance for peace gone -Israeli operation "HOLOCAUST" http://ccoaler.blogspot.com/2009...-deal- with.html


GravatarIf Dr. Sanjay Gupta gets to be Surgeon General I say Obama makes Michale Moore the Movie Maker Laurent. Or the director of White House communications.
Or the head of the FCC. The Right does things that drive the left crazy. They do this on purpose. Why not us?


GravatarHealthy Westbrook (doubtful), Iggles win. If he's hurt, Eli waltzes to the Superbowl, again.
quaker boy; kitteh slave

He's hurt.


GravatarI saw the coolest bison there. So close, too....

Lot of people either think of them as pets or freak out. Treat 'em like big, stupid, mean cattle if you meet them on the road. (which we did both in Yellowstone and in a state park in S. Dakota which name escapes me at the moment.) Very slowly drive forward and they'll move out of your way but you never want to piss one off!


Gravatarconservatism will prevail - sooner or later - as the reigning ideology in this nation.

If an ideology dies, it's re-emergence would be "progrssive", yes? You can't conserve something that ain't.

It appears I am incredibly bored. ...working at the tax office too early for clients to start coming in

So is your owner, head coach, best reciever, and starting quarterback. Aside from that, it's all good.


GravatarDid you get to hit the National Bison Range while you were up there?

I think that may have been the place, yes.

Just awesome.

I have photos of Dahl sheep within 4' of the car...too cool.


GravatarDon't think the Giants win Superbowl.
Gotta' like Titans, Cougars or long-shot Chargers.


GravatarThe eagles had no fans here not too long ago as they were sucking

now "we" are going "all the way"

we're not...

that was the Phillies


GravatarThe Right does things that drive the left crazy. They do this on purpose. Why not us?


This is crazy enough, it just might work!

Excellent. My kind of art. You did good.


GravatarMrs. qb's ability in that category is one of the many reasons I am so happily married at this point.

Dancing well is definitely a metaphor for getting a relationship right.

Leading is an art. Trusting enough to follow is an art. The lead always makes the follower look like the best dancer, and showcases the follower. This is a skill.
BTW, my parents have been happily married for 58 years, and are beautiful dancers.

GravatarDuane,

Thanks for asking.

Yeah, I slept for 12 straight hours...I seem to have some piss and vinegar back.

Hanging out in low places (at home) today. I need this crud GONE.


GravatarConservatism has no ideological foundation.


GravatarOK...I'm headed to the sports arena (my basement which actually has floor to ceiling windows overlooking snowcapped woods) to watch the opener of this weekend's foot ball festivities. Love to all my fellow Atriots. And, by all means, slow dance if you can. I have a bottle of homemade zinfindel chilling at around 15% alcolhol. I know I need say no more.


GravatarExcellent. My kind of art. You did good.

Last week I was agin Les Iggles. Now I is for 'em. Strange game, this feetball..


GravatarAccording to Nobel Prize winning economist, Joseph Steiglitz, the main cause of our current economic woes - Conservative Ideology and the mythological belief that the "free market" could regulate itself, and government should not monitor them.

Yes it does.

Cougars! Fresh from SNL!

I didn't know they played football...

GravatarI like the glass, but really - wouldn't a red suede lounging sofa have been just as nice?


GravatarA lot of *doing* the national park experience depends on who you are with and whether or not they enjoy being out in nature. I've done it both ways, and have such a good time with those who have a strong appreciation for the beauty of nature.

If you're with a drive-by person, you miss a lot.


Gravatarrenato-- do you want to have some beverages and snacks with some Atriots in Arlington on the 19th?

Been to the Grand Canyone 3 times. I think I like the north side best.

Gravatar"Conservatism" is bullshit used by the greedy and selfish to confuse the masses and screw them at the same time.


Gravatar"I have photos of Dahl sheep within 4' of the car...too cool."

my uncle had their haids hanging on his wall. never thought about them too much, until i saw his name on a list in outdoor life in the ~late 60's...apparently it was quite an accomplishment to shoot all 4 species(?) back in the day.


GravatarI like the glass, but really - wouldn't a red suede lounging sofa have been just as nice?
GWPDA yclept Damaged Historian


I think the sofa sounds gorgeous. I also like art glass.

Ever seen Duncan McClellan's stuff? Awesome.


Gravatar"Conservatism" is bullshit used by the greedy and selfish to confuse the masses and screw them at the same time.

Paraphrasing John Stuart Mill -

not all conservatives are greedy, but pretty much all greedy people are conservatives.

I can testify to that through personal experience. Of all the incredibly greedy people I've ever known, 100% were fucking Republicans.


GravatarConservative Philosophy = "I got mine, Fuck you!

If you have a sofa that's serviceable, then the glass will look just the same when you lounge on your sofa. Save the sofa for the new adobe.


Gravatarrenato -- drop me a line: v for virginia at gmail.


Gravataratablarasa, I have so many more photos which would blow your mind... someday I will get that photoblog up to speed...

Gravatar"Leading is an art. Trusting enough to follow is an art."

BZZZZ We have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have danced with total strangers and looked good. I have danced with the closest of friends and looked not so good. (she looked good, we'll leave it at that) BINGO!! Can't tell you the times I've hit the floor and had to say "I lead."


GravatarConservative Ideology and the mythological belief that the "free market" could regulate itself, and government should not monitor them.
Rudy

Yes. And every fifty to sixty years or so, the lefties come along and save unrestrained free - market capitalism from itself, and get no credit whatsoever. How about we implement our own agenda this time, instead of being half - assed about it, and letting these idiots come back to screw up the whole world another day?


GravatarGWPDA -- pretty!


GravatarSince Obama's not gonna wear a top hat to the inauguration, I think I'll wear one to work that day.


Gravatar"Teach me a lesson, Jimmy boy!"

It's tough to tell what point you think you have made. Certainly not anything refuting my main point - that Franken is bonkers for believing he had the goods on O'Reilly for these statements is insane.

Franken even put a distorted photo of O'Reilly on the cover of his book, as if O'Reilly were the next Stalin or something.

The man really needs to get his ass whooped. He's a cowardly, snivelling idiot. Franken, that is (idiots).


GravatarIf you're with a drive-by person, you miss a lot.


Ms. Atabla says that the Grand Canyon is the only place she's been where you can actually do a drive-by and say that you've seen it. However, it's also true that you can spend days or weeks there or come back over and over and never see the same place at all. We can see why people get addicted to it.


GravatarChanging the subject != refuting an argument.


GravatarBrain cramp with Cougars, meant Panthers.
Rudy

I figured.


Gravatarrenato

Gravatarno top hat for Obama?

dammit, I'm sure Nader would have worn one... another vote thrown away...


GravatarWe have spent zero time in the west*, unfortunately. So I've only seen the Grand Canyon from the air.

*except Washington state and BC


Gravatarand letting these idiots come back to screw up the whole world another day?
DuaneV, AnarchoSyndicalist

Oh, the Conservative crackpots will be back. In fact, they haven't even gone away. Just listen to McConnell and Boehner. They're still selling Rethug snake oil, even as America gags on it.
And Brit Hume said FDR and the "New Deal" are "known failures."
The scumbag rightwingers always piss on their saviors.


GravatarWhat is it about Frankin that drives wingnuts crazy. I can't really be that Stewart Smally was somewhat effeminate, can it?


Gravatar"Conservatism has no ideological foundation."

Bill, you might want to try reading a little Edmund Burke.
