OY!l
Way to go Huggy Bear. Keep talkin'
mememe, not mimi
I forgot how to type, or I would have been first.
Up there.
BTW, I have to say "Ironman" might be the "Citizen Kane" of Marvel Comic movies.
It's really good. Although I'll wait to see what Simels thinks.
he's talking about well oiled democracy
i looked at the picture or i woulda been first.
I guess I need to watch the video. He is making less sense than Bush.

Oh...did we go to war for oil? I thought it was because Jeremiah Wright made us do it.
"I really don't know what the fuck I'm talking about."

Stoopit day on teh intertubes.
Um . . . he needs closer supervision.
Or not, I guess. Tie an onion to your belt and go for it, Grandpa!
I'm seeing Ironman tomorrow. If I can find anyone to go with me.
that we will be talking about
favorably?
And a pony!
I thought we went to "war" to guarantee the "permanent majority" status of the Republican party... or, at least, a second term for Bush.
I'm gonna mud wrestle him!
lol
Time for the DNC to fire up the ad machine. Obama is going to trounce this old stupid man.
Alan Greenspan said it wasn't politically correct for him to say it, but the Iraq War was about oil.
And now comes Straight Talking McCain, saying he'll never let the US fight another war for oil.
Do I see a trend here?
Yeah, right.
Today I had the pleasure of having lunch with noblejoanie. What a great person!
Smart, funny, insightful.
We had lunch at the same place as when Trademark Dave set up the SF Meet and greet.

The Iraq War is about oil? I'm shocked!
This BILL MOYERS video about Wright and Republican hypocrisy is AWESOME!!!

mccain is going to pivot on the war. He will announce we have won and the troops can start coming home after the election.
Well, Mr McCain, it's a nice sentiment. Of course, there's no way in hell that you'll follow through. And never send troops to the middle east? The wingnuts and Israel lobby may not be too pleased.
And btw, you're looking and sounding pretty damn feeble.
I need more gameage. Reality is starting to intrude around the edges.
That's OK, I'm sure a team of crack journalists will be along shortly to tell us what McCain really meant to say.

Who will come on the stage and pull my finger to start the great energy turbine....
So John McCain is telling the Iraqis, "Forget what we said before--we're here for your fucking oil, doods."
Should endear us to the Iraqis even more.
How can someone so assymetrical be a straight-shooter? America does not want lopsided.
alcohol and its metabolic by-products are really horrible stuff wrt the human body, especially a child's
remember, alcohol is just rotten something juice where something = grapes, fruit, grains, etc.
it's really terrible stuff and is associated with an increased risk of various types of cancer. I bet in about 10 years' time, alcohol will have the same rep as cigarettes do now.
Who's getting paid to 100 bucks a word?

My friends, this blog sucks.
i thought lakotas were sioux.
Again, the left will try to misconstrue McCain's remarks. McCain clarified what he meant today:
PHOENIX - Republican John McCain was forced to clarify his comments Friday suggesting the Iraq war involved U.S. reliance on foreign oil. He said he was talking about the first Gulf War and not the current conflict.
At issue was a comment he made at a town hall-style meeting Friday morning in Denver.
"My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East," McCain said.
My friends, this blog sucks.
NTodd, Gams Man
If you can do better, start your own blog.
Uh, Freudian slip?
My friends, this blog sucks.
But, my friends, I have a plan. In the future all will be prevented from coming to this sucky blog.
I love that place! (I'm not talking about Lefty's) The other place, Lori's
Oh, that's different. My wife loves that place, too.
I don't have anything against Lefty's either, though I prefer Tommy's Joynt...
Vicki, you should watch your mouth, especially when you're wrong.
Drinking Alcohol Increases Risk For Cancer
ScienceDaily (Feb. 1, 2005) — Consumption of alcohol, including wine, increases the risk of several common cancers, even though many studies confirm a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease from alcohol intake. An article appearing in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis presents definite evidence of these findings amongst other papers as part of an open forum discussion on wine, alcohol, and cardiovascular risk.
NTodd, Gams Man.
Who's the c*nt who says that this blog sucks? You're hair is thinning!
McCain sure has to clarify a lot. It's almost like the senile old man needs a handler with him constantly to correct his blathering and change his diapers.
fascination is merely the beginning...
Moderate alcohol drinking, less than 25 grams per day, has a favorable role on cardiovascular disease risk," states Professor Carlo La Vecchia, co-author of the article. "[However] it is associated with increased risk of cancers of the upper digestive tract and larynx, and also of the intestines, liver, and breast." The article lists primary liver cancer, cancers of the female breast and of the large bowel in both sexes, as being associated with alcohol drinking. Further death from diseases including cirrhosis, chronic pancreatitis, hypertension and stroke are strongly related to alcohol drinking.
Mrs. Ibrahim, so very sorry.
I, too, used to take Mlle into a steaming shower, and I'd throw some eucalyptus oil into a small container for the vapors. Seemed to give her some relief.
though I prefer Tommy's Joynt...

Hey! I was there with my family when i was a wee lass!
I want an energy policy that will prevent us from having to send our young men and women to blogs.
yeah, like i said below "stoopid".
on the other hand, looked at in a different way, it is sort of an honest duplicity.
Vicki, It's nice to have a health educator among us. Spreads the burden in stomping out the stupidity.

Poor Johm McCain. Those evil lefties are always quoting him word for word with the things that he says and that makes him look very senile and demented.

Vote for McCain! He has a secret plan to get us out of Vietnam!
well Gromit, it looks like you don't know everything because:
The analysis was based on a quantitative review, or meta-analysis, of 156 different studies, and heavy alcohol drinking was strongly linked to the diseases noted. The risks are shown to increase with the amount of alcohol consumed yet the overall evidence does not determine "whether there is any threshold, below which no effect is evident
War On War Off, that's the problem. It IS home, like an unwanted guest who never offers to replenish the beer or clean up after himself.
Mrs. Ibrahim, humidity does help, so taking Daniel to the bathroom that has turned into a steamroom might make it easier for him to sleep.
mimi, you stupid fuckin wanna be cunt with a very small penis, I know the pitfalls of alcohol. I work in healthcare. If you had a brain, you'd know that John Hopkins is linking most forms of cancer to sugar intake. Alcohol ends up being a form of sugar. And cigarettes will probably always be worse.
He said he was talking about the first Gulf War and not the current conflict.
Good god, this is even insulting MY intelligence.

One other thing, y'all complain about the price of gas, war for mideast oil, etc., but your side refuses to allow drilling in this country, and holds up building refineries for the last 40 years.
So-called "new fuel" may take over but what they do not say is that it will take 100 to 200 years to completely get rid of oil.
Drill – Drill and keep our country safe from total destruction. Anythi

That's a republic canard, TexasDildoBoy. republics have been in the White House for 28 of the last 40 years.
The fucking oil companies will not build refineries, you lying sack of garbage. It's the spigot that allows them to keep inventories low and prices high.
As for drilling, there's no more oil. Not in this country. YOu know why? The oil companies ain't drilling. That's their choice.

McCain Energy Plan, wherein we shift our energy consumption away from foreign oil and thus reduce the need to send our troops into battle in the Middle East for ever and ever and always:
Step 1: Give a huge price margin bonus to the oil companies, cleverly disguised as a populist "gas tax holiday";
Step 2: Keep our troops garrisoned in Iraq, where they will be disgustingly easy targets for pissed off refugees from Step 3;
Step 3: Bomb the ever-lovin' hell out of Iran, to a boppin' Beach Boys beat
Step 4: OIL INDEPENDENCE AND PEACE FOREVER!

A 10-year-old boy could face assault charges after the director of his charter school claims the boy made threatening gestures at him because he took rollers from the boy's shoes and would not return them.
The school's director, Wayne Millette, said today that Ypsilanti police were called to New Beginnings Academy on Thursday afternoon after the boy balled up his fists and was flailing his arms and legs. Staff had to retrain the boy who was not taken into police custody.
Millette said the boy's mother was called to the school at 211 W. Michigan and she took him home after speaking with police. Millette said it will be up to the school's attorney to decide what criminal charges if any will be pursued against the boy. However, Millette is recommending that the school board expelled the boy for the rest of the school year.
School policy does not allow students to wear roller shoes, Millette said.
(Bet the Public Schools were to blame for this one, eh?)
most people whose cancer "spreads", get it in the liver
Huh yet again. My Mom got breast cancer, they took her breast, lymph nodes - and then 7 yrs later it spread to her bones.
Wrong yet again.

Nope. Not even close. When colon cancer survival rates increased dramatically in the late 80's was because the docs started treating the liver as soon as they began treating the colon.

He'll now be "tried" as an adult. The principal said she didn't realize how old he was.
This happened in January. They've yet to hear when they should take him to be fingerprinted.

Bite dat ass, billy.
mowmow the buttle's lectures on any any everything are fucking tedious.
All buttle does is talk out his fat aggie ass.
And, back in the early 70's, breast cancer had 3 ways of treatment:
Slash, burn (radiation) or, poision (chemo).
The liver wasn't even an afterthough back then.

Yes Virgotext. I don't know enough about the new series. I'm pretty interested, but I think I should read a view of the book to get a better idea what it's about before I commit.
Today I did an on camera intercept interview for the State of California Earthquake authority. They asked my opinion on earthquake insurance.
I quickly segued into a conversation about FEMA and what a tragedy it was that the Federal Government failed so badly there and how I want California to learn from that experience. I said that I feel a kinship with the people in New Orleans and that odds are high I will have damage after a quake. I told them I wanted both well corrdinated local immediate response (after the 72 hours we are trained to be on our own) and that it is the time AFTER that I want them to do good work. I would be willing to by earthquake insurance if I knew that it went to making sure we didn't make the same mistakes that FEMA did in New Orleans.
Waaaaaait...Colby?
Yup, but 10 or so incarnations ago. Pre-lunatic fringe by 1 year.

As God is my witness, I will have an energy policy.

'Nuff said.
My sister is a GI NP, so she knows a bit about liver cancer and colon cancer.
Although there are several different types of breast cancer, lung cancer, etc., according to Val, there are very few types of colon cancer. That's why it's easy to treat if caught early. It's also slow growing.
billy b, you just made my argument for me.
they have to treat the liver because that's where it spreads.

My ability to bridge the two and show the weak link of FEMA and what I want comes from understanding what my friends in New Orleans went through.
I wasn't as soundbity as it could have been but in the end I looked right into the camera and told them what I wanted.
I asked who the audience was for this video before I just rambled. When I knew who it was thought about what I wanted to tell them. What message they need to hear. Now I'll bet you 200 bucks that I'm the only one of the walk by interviews who bothered to do that. It made my comments much more targeted and hopefully I will give them evidence that "Hey the people want us to be effective."

The author of Motherless Daughters, Hope Edelman, her mom died of breast cancer, back in the late 70's. IIRC, the docs told her husband, who decided not to tell his wife the diagnosis. I do not fucking understand that mentality.
Terry and Echidne, of course, my mother is totally dependent on her ACE inhibitors, insulin, cholesterol medications, nitroglycerin, etc, all of which she takes every day.
Somehow the fact that my illness exists in the CNS means it's not real to her. And unfortunately, there are people that still feel that way.

I told them that everything was listed and that they could read it at their leisure on the web. I told them I would be glad to print out some of the information for them. ( I found a six page page "Primer." a six page "General overview" and a forty-four page document on the economy. (I printed the overviews and will offer to print the others if they are actually interested)
But this is the problem, isn't it? There is more but a lot of people are too lazy, too computer illiterate, or simply not capable of finding out more.

res ipsa did the most awesome take on the Obama/Wright bullshit if you haven't read it:
Never enough
And Rmj wrote a great thing about it, too; I meant to bookmark it but forgot, so if anyone remembers his blog addy I'd love to have it.
White preacher damns America, no big deal, black preacher damns America and it's a fucking SCANDAL I tell you! Anybody want to take a stab at why the associations of black candidates count and the white folk get a pass?
Tweety skated very close to admitting, hell, as far as I am concerned he flat out said it, this shit works because these "regular people" Tweets is so fond of, are basically stupid. They are the ones who believe these stupid stories that get circulated by the likes of Rove; which Tweets and his ilk call smart plays because they "work". That they are deliberate lies and manipulation of the gullible masses bothers him not a bit, only that it works or does not work.
The above
If she wins...remember I was the first to say it. We have been witnessing a genius politician these last few weeks. A force of nature must be respected.
I like him a whole lot more than I like Jim Carrey, for example.
Carrey's not in the same class as Carrel.
The scene in the 40 Year Old Virgin where he was getting a wax to remove his hairshirt was one of the funniest I can recall.
Kathleen Hall Jamison on Bill Moyers' Journal (after opening segment when Moyers tries to explain and justify Rev. Wright's speech at the National Press Club) discussing campaigns. Talking about how Reagan rescued himself from charge of scary extremist by running bio ad over and over and over.
What Obama trying to do now--sitting down in quiet, rational manner with female reporters to explain him life. Trying to associate himself with the quiet, discoursive Wright of Wright's appearance on Moyers' Journal last Friday. Thoughtful and reassuring, identifying himself as civil rights lawyer. Remind people of '04 Convention speech, bring people back to their first exposure to Obama.
Sen. Clinton went on O'Reilly Factor, which Obama could not have done and meet his goals of appearing as thoughtful and nonconfrontational. Hillary's doing something very different -- went on most adversarial news channel toward her with most adversarial person there. She featured toughness, command of answers and mastery of detail, experienced enough to handle O'Reilly and handle the presidency. Showcased both's strengths.
KHJ said this year voters are becoming information seekers; they hear about appearances of candidates and take time to watch/listen. What's important -- will channel surf to places where the interesting candidates are, plus candidate also reaching regular viewers. Looking for extended time format which gives time to make case, away from soundbites. Breaking out of ideological enclave, appeal across party lines.
"Just folks" appeal -- pols always try to make connection with those less well off than they are.
Noting disappearance of Iraq Waq as issue.
Best ads have grounding in actual performance in past, which gives credibility to proposals being made for future.
Elizabeth Edwards on news scene -- bcz media want her to make an endorsement, along with her husband doing so as well. Her comments on McCain's healthcare proposal more powerful than any politician's right now; McCain offered change to his plan, now has response to preexisting conditions, but KHJ didn't specify what it was. (I missed that, Moyers was surprised as well.)
Pushing back against the notion that his plan would make it difficult for those with preexisting conditions to find an insurance provider on the open market, McCain said he would work with states to establish Guaranteed Access Plans -- even proposing a government-funded GAP.
Meh. Doesn't sound that great to me.

So, the reason we are in Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11, nothing to do with Saddam, nothing to do with WMD.
It has to do with... oil.
Well, slap me silly and call me Mabel. Who would ever have thunk it?
I love when fans do little homemade videos that mesh perfectly with great songs.
I don't know if I can choose a favourite between this Grandaddy one or this New Pornographers one.
Both very keen.

The arrogant audacity of the statements coming from the republics as of late are enough to harelip the Pope.
I bet in about 10 years' time, alcohol will have the same rep as cigarettes do now.

I bet you're wrong. There is strong evidence that moderate drinking (1 or 2 drinks a day for men, 1 for women) is positively correlated with better health. Red wine in particular.
12 meatballs for 9 dollars? Where? Where?
McCain's health care policy is crap. I posted on it at the Nation blog in April. He is proposing nothing new and the things he is proposing have already been tried.
If you wait a while, it will not be the belly, eh?
That's probably McCain's energy policy.
Thank you, V for Virginia; and thank you, RIL.
If that lawyerin' thing gets boring, Res, you oughta be able to get a job at the Onion in a nanosecond.
That was Swiftean. Impressive as hell, funny, and a little too close to reality to cause belly laughs.

PHOENIX (AP) - Republican John McCain was forced to clarify his comments Friday suggesting the Iraq war involved U.S. reliance on foreign oil. He said he was talking about the first Gulf War and not the current conflict. At issue was a comment he made at a town hall-style meeting Friday morning in Denver.
"My friends,we went to Iraq to catch some rays and work on our suntans."
You never call me any more. Are we breaking up? (Don't tell Gomez. You're the sidedish I wanted to eat but couldn't.)

Oil.
Oil??
OIL???
Is that what this was all about?
I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

When Carrel started cursing the Korean chick killed me. And then she got pissed and called him a pussy.
Outrageous.
Here's the post I wrote on McCain's proposal.

Outstanding. And you back away from this: "What insurers would really love to do is to skim the cream off the market by only insuring the young and healthy," but it's precisely true -- if they could get away with it that's exactly what they'd do. Look at them digging through people's applications trying to find something, anything at all, to justify dropping their coverage when they get sick! And as you point out, the company with the healthiest subscribers wins the competition.
McSame's proposal has bone in its head instead of brains.
Howard Dean last night on TDS seemed confident that the dems will destroy the repubs in all three branches in Nov due to the past 8 years. I share his confidence.

he truth is the best informative tool. that is why everyone should go out and rent the 1962 version of the manchurian candidate as they consider the merits of obama's campaign. i am not saying i am just saying. reach your own conclusions.

i dont think the profit motive should rule our health care system.
Lessee... when that plan of McSame's is revealed, we will find that this goal will be met by:
1) Opening up oil drilling in the ANWR, and in every liberal stronghold in the country (watch out, SF, Cambridge, MA, Austin, TX).
2) Massive amounts of taxpayer money will be transferred to the oil companies for exploration, R&D and reorganization, thus relieving them of the onerous task of actually funding their own business operations and paying for the costs of retaining their monopoly on energy distribution.
3) Huge subsidies to coal companies to make liquid fuels, and to release millions of tons of CO2 in the extraction of oil from tar sands.
4) Massive payments to defense contractors to build hugely expensive aircraft so that we simply bomb countries into submission without ever having to send in a single soldier on the ground.
And, when all this has been accomplished, oil imports will rise only a few percent. And, the country will be broke. And, significant amounts of Manhattan and Florida coastline will be under water.
No matter. Whatever McVain comes up with, it's going to be a doozy.

So, did y'all see Bill Moyers? I'm a little suspicious of Kathleen Hall Jameson. She pulls her punches big time in my opinion, and falls short.
There was a question something about why journalists don't question pols, and her answer had to do with access, but she never said anything about the agendas of their corporate overlords and media ownership. Had she said "Hell, GE and Microsoft pWn them all" I would've given her more cred.
He spent too much time on the two guys with the book, although the book is probably a good effort, and showed Feith to be the clueless goof that he is.
and dobson wouldn't sign it.
big surprise. not...
If he's sincerely progressive, and I hope and believe he is, Obama will only be able to begin to turn America's gaze toward a humane landscape during the next 8 years.
bloodstream needs more altering. later...

I felt more than a little vomit in my mouth. What a crazy, stupid, foolish, vain, rude old liar.
