We read that article about Sonny Bono and we noticed a couple of things that turned us off. First of all, it introduced him as a "tragic rocker" when he was neither. Secondly, the story turned on the words of Ted Gunderson, a former FBI agent who has no credibility within the consptheor world.

It's reasonable to guess that an establishment threatening political hero out of a Robert Redford flick could be iced, especially if there's lots of wierdness all around his death, especially considering the mentally retarded boot lickingly pro-establishment stooge who replaced him without a clean fight. It is hard to believe anyone in any ideology would ever need to harm Sonny Bono, especially considering who replaced him.

Because you know how easy it is to ambush someone on the ski slope at a popular resort. Knowing just which run they're going to take and to be there on the right side of the trail at just the moment and plan it so that no one else is around. It's easy--just like the skiing chases in James Bond movies.

On the day when Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated, this day, I was with my church youth group on a trip. We were aboard a church bus visiting the city of Chicago and were at the Museum of Science and Industry on the South Side. When the news came we were all rounded up out of the museum and put on the buses for home. We left the city on the road back North: people were everywhere. There were fires and people were in the streets. The bus was hit with rocks and sticks on the way out of town. The minister was praying for our safety and for peace.
It is etched there forever. No hatred. Only shock and dismay and sadness.

We are kind of thinking along these lines, without being committed, about this practice with Detective Comics (the "DC Nation," the name of the DC fan club). The use of "nation" became popular around the late eighties early nineties, one of our favorite cultural moments and the point at which we opened mature eyes, but it's really kind of silly now.
believes that Satanic cults engage in widespread child kidnapping for the purpose of child sexual abuse and ritual murder, and that these activities involve high-ranking government officials (e.g., he has named George H.W. Bush as having committed sex acts with children) and/or the Illuminati.
Just because the guy is nuts doesn't mean some of what he says isnt' true.
It's OUT THERE now MAN. We HAVE to report on it. At the highest levels! If the NY Times doesn't cover this they they are IN ON IT! Man.

There is no particular reason to doubt that criminals organize themselves, that religion can be used to make children better victims, or that wealthy and powerful people have sick criminal tastes that peek out every so often.

Phila, I drilled down on your Friday hope post about the GPS message in a bottle story. Check this out. This note just seems to have a LOT More story to it than they are telling.
Sunday 4th July 2004
GPS Bottle number 4 has not been reporting its position since 27th May 2004. After discovering the bottle's technology was being misused by someone outside of the project we tracked down the bottle to a location not far from where it last reported its position. Unfortunately much of the technology is missing and the rest is badly damaged. We are currently looking into the possibility of having the main components fixed and relaunching the bottle. Progress will be reported on this news page.

Dan Savage had a very depressing story in a relatively recent column in which he mentioned two Lesbians he indirectly knew who had given up on sex altogether and whose idea of a fun night was to eat incredibly horrifying junk food together. His larger point was that women in male terms lack a sex drive altogether and the recent spate of horny older cougar nonsense was all a marketing ploy. We remember thinking when sex was still new to us the single most disgusting thing about consensual sex was the intense dishonesty in motivation.

No, ronjazz. I guess I should have explained better, I thought it was clear.
It is not the Clintons. They are acting as greedy little people: that is fine. Most people would act that way. Everyone cannot be a Jimmy Carter, can they? (Would be nice, but what the hell? Most are like Ronald Reagan and go to the people he pimped for to get his money.)
And it is not the people losing their jobs. They would certainly lose them regardless. It is the CONTRAST between the two that IS the source.
We have become this godawful place where a few people are getting stinking rich and are ENVIED for the acumen in doing this (Even on supposedly liberal blogs) and most people are struggling to get by (and they are not even supported (On supposedly liberal blogs)
Do you see?

I think we are trying to support the people who are struggling (some of us are those people, also), by demanding that the administration takes the recession seriously, by writing about what is wrong with the kind of global trade we have now, by fighting the wingnut attempts to take the scissors to all safety-nets and by trying to explain why income inequality is a bad thing even for those who have more income. At least these are the types of things I have written about in the last few years.

Everybody here hates what's happening as much as you do, but we are not allowing it to eat us alive. Direct your anger outwards, at the GOP, not inwards. it's not your fault, not ours, really. There are very large, sinister forces at work here, and we have been made the most comfortable society the world has ever seen, purposely. this will take a long time to turn around, maybe a generation or more.

I really and truly disagree here, Echidne. I was taken to task today because I had the audacity to criticize the Clintons as being greedy. Particularly when the policies they supported have done so much damage to the working poor of this country. (Well, they used to just be the working people. Now they are the working poor)
I was actually thinking tonight of investigating to see if there is enough material available to write a book titled, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S WAR ON THE WORKING PEOPLE. Because in my mind, that is what has happened.
We have not fought for either their jobs or something to ADEQUATELY replace those lost jobs. All we have done is send people's jobs away and told them to go to hell. And Republicans have done this: but so have DEMOCRATS.

My first post on Escaton was on star date 3134 (or 2267 to you in the old style)
Escaton is the second most important source of information in the future. The first being The Drudge Report run by the love child clone of Matt Drudge and Mark Halprin as part of MSDisneyCoxNewsJournalCoTron.
Escaton is run by a secret cabal of Atriots and NToddlers living in Kabal.
It is broadcast over subspace radio across the Alpha Quadrant. The meaning of the word Eschaton and Atrios have been lost in the great Google Data virus war of 2103 in which all stored data was eaten by nanites. After a truce with the "ugly bags of mostly water" (humans) new data became stored in Isolinar crystals that are still in use today, only in a much smaller form factor.
In the future the threads are not as funny, but flirting is allowed. For some strange reason many posters don't wear pants while posting.
Trolls are put into stasis for first offenses and spend 5 minutes in the agony chair for the second offense.

But 109 million dollars? Damn! That is simply obscene by any measure. Sorry.
Fifty-some million in Bill's speaking fees was what stunned me.
To his credit, I suppose, Bill's been pretty frank about saying he's been making a lot of money and "I got a tax cut and I don't need one."
But damn... why would anyone pay that kind of money for a speech.
That raises a whole 'nother round of questions and makes my head hurt.

But it is an argument easily solved: Can you point to ONE major government program designed to hire displaced workers, retrain displaced workers, and provide jobs for displaced workers?
This is the government you are talking about right now, not all Republicans, all Democrats and all people who comment here. I have no idea if such a program exists. I could Google but I'm tired.
But I think that if I did find one you'd argue that it's not big enough or cover the right people. Because I do think that you are seeing everything in very somber colors right now. I say that as a friend.

Reader says "Yesterday, I read an interview with Joan Sewell, author of I'd Rather Eat Chocolate: Learning to Love My Low Libido...."
Dan says "I haven't had a chance to read Ms. Sewell's book, NGU, but I devoured Sandra Tsing Loh's review of I'd Rather Eat Chocolate in the current Atlantic Monthly. (Loh's book reviews are worth the price of a subscription.) And I'm saddened to report that, according to Sewell and Loh, there's no such thing as a woman who wants sex constantly. They don't exist—never did."

Yeah, and could you imagine that if it were YOU and a group: say a group representing a small college trying to raise scholarship money for needy students, came to you and asked you to give a speech so they could charge a fee and raise enough money to provide 100 students with a full ride scholarship if you would waive your fee. . .

The Clintons were a fucking mess and the best that can be said about them is that the accusations of their less rational rightist opponents are crap. Of course the thing that forced the rightists to sink to tabloid nonsense was the fact that the Clintons do a better job of being Republican than any Republican.

The bees were fun. I don't think you can tell, but I used different threads - plastic ones for the wings, to give them an iridescent look, and fuzzy thread for the body, more plastic and fuzzy on the legs, to get that bee leg look. Choosing the threads for that project was really fun. Now I just need to finish the background and turn it in to be finished/made into a bag, and then I get to pick out what kind of fun lining I would like. Maybe teal satin!

I would use the freshest break dance moves from the streets of Philly followed by the cake walk that I learned while playing Frank Schultz the vaudevillian hoofer in Showboat and topped off with a quick rendition of the bottle dance from Fiddler on the Roof.

hell, i remember when atrios was begging for donations. now, from what i can gather, he makes most of his living off this blog. which is mostly a compendium of sardonic and often a somewhat cryptic analysis of daily news events. don't get me wrong, i love it. just like i loved those cartoons.

Since the Green brothers bailed out AAR, Mark Green has had a show he's hosted Saturdays with Arianna Huffington. The show sounds alot like her website reads, with Hillary surrogates railing at Barack Obama at length, only it's Mark Green himself usually carrying water for Hillary. No coincidence that Randi Rhoads was suspended for criticizing Hillary. She wasn't even on the air at the time.

FWIW - I remain a HUGE fan of the first Crenshaw album - power pop at its finest - bur remain a stalwart of "Field Day," the "difficult" 2nd album w. the big 80s production. YMMV...
But I can't say enough about the live album, in which the great man assails Abba, The MC5, Bobby Fuller, The Byrds, Alvin Cash, and so on.. Maybe out-of-print, I'd be happy to send you a copy otherwise....

Although when introduced Haddock has command of a freighter, in later volumes he is clearly retired. The Captain's coarse humanity and sarcasm acts as a counterpoint to Tintin's often implausible heroism; he is always quick with a dry comment whenever the boy reporter gets too idealistic.
