GravatarI work in a place where during the day about half the people there are gears and business people and the rest are skilled and semi-skilled workers. During the night, I'm the highest ranking idjit there. The guys there seem mystified by my attitude towards woman. I obviously like them a lot but don't always want to jump into their pants, (even if I did desire that, I'm unlikely to fulfill that desire) which seems to be those guy's attitude. (of course this being mid-shift, it tends to attract some pretty odd ducks who want to work at that hour, your's truly included).

I think misogyny is mostly cultural.

Yep.


GravatarLiberal women hate Palin because she is putting back the Women's Movement by about thirty years.

And I'll be glad to tell you why.

Sarah Palin is the Anti-Steinem, the Anti-Greer, the Anti-Brownmiller, the Anti-de Beauvoir.

She's anti-intellectual, anti-choice, anti-science, anti-gay, pro-patriarchy, pro-war, and pro-plutocracy. She's a member of "Feminists for Life".

She is going to do her best to show the country that all you need do is shake your pretty little tush and smile sweetly to be elected to the White House. Ability, hard work, and decency have nothing at all to do with it. Anita Bryant had nothing on her. Phyllis Schlafly thinks Palin is wonderful.

I call it bullshit, served up in a faux Betty Crocker apron.


GravatarMy brother just got home to NOLA from a highly stressful evacuation (basically having to take care of an extended family). He's getting pretty frayed.

I feel like shit wishing a hurricane on anybody, but it's got to hit somewhere, and I really don't want it to be New Orleans.


GravatarUnfortunately, Cuba is the only thing that stands it the way of Ike becoming a cat 5 storm in the Gulf. Either Cuba gets it or we do.
The Gulf Coast states owe some thanks to Cuba for weakening Gustav.

That said, remember that Katrina first traversed Florida from east to west, re-emerging in the Gulf as a category 1. The weather modelers did not foresee any major strengthening after that. Then Katrina blew up to a category 5 in less than 2 days, a warm eddy current effect I think. So it dawned on people that the few degrees extra warming of the Gulf waters could have catastrophic effects on hurricane growth.


Gravatari think we should ask sinfonian to take one for the team and take out ike.


GravatarI swears, if Palin gets selected I'm moving to Canada... except that's closer to Alaska. D'oh! That's it. The evolist part of teh evol GOP plan is to... surround Canada!

My brilliant and offbeat father wrote an article for the Journal of the American Medical Association called "Keepers of the Bed: Castration and Religion". (I am not making this up; roughly July 1964.)

In it, the legend of the chair is given. The Cardinals would walk around the candidate, feeling his scrotum, intoning, testiculos habet et bene pedentes, he has testicles and they are hanging well.

GravatarShe's anti-intellectual, anti-choice, anti-science, anti-gay

Gravatar“So Sambo beat the bitch!”

This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.


I think I know Lucille. Not only would she not lie, she'll slip you a free cup of coffee if the owner isn't looking.


GravatarShe's toast.

GravatarDILLONVALE, Ohio (AP) — So much for the full-on 50-state strategy. Call Barack Obama's implementation of national Democrats' coast-to-coast plan "Fifty-State Lite."

Barack Obama's strategists say they will pick and choose where to spend time and money. Sure, the presidential candidate is spending time in previously-Republican Indiana and North Carolina, but the true focus is going to be areas where he simply must win.

Despite early optimism, Obama's strategists are mapping out an electoral plan similar to Democrat John Kerry's from 2004, with a few tweaks.

That's from the AP, so grain of salt, and all that.


GravatarShe wants to turn back the clock and put your box in a box.


Gravatari am so tired of hearing about reagan democrats.
that was more than 20 years ago.
reagan left office in 1988 and the last time a reagan democrat voted was in 1984...so a quarter century ago.
since then, both my voting age daughers have been born and grown and graduated college and gotten jobs. they never knew reagan.

palin's appeal is tough to know about a week since she appeared, a memory of a good-looking woman jumping full blown from mcsame's brain.

there is a mean nixonian edge to her and also a dominionist streak ala James Watt.
the experience thing as governor is completely false. Alaska is not like any other state. They are basically an oil ATM machine. every man woman and child gets 2k+ in cash a year and some years, like this cause of crude prices, there is a bonus on top of that of $1200.

Exactly. Alaska is the Queen of the Welfare States apparently, sucking in more Federal dollars than its residents pay in taxes. While still cutting a private deal with the companies pumping "their" oil to the rest of "us."

Why doesn't every resident of Louisiana get a welfare check from their oil companies and refineries? Or Texas or any other state that has oil wells? If it's just because (previous) Alaska officials were smart enough to extort the funds, why do they need so much dough from the rest of us?

Noble self-reliant frontiersmen/women my ass. A bunch of lazy-ass welfare cheats sucking off the oily tit. And thereby raising prices for the rest of us, since their oil welfare is gonna get added to the "cost of production" and passed along isn't it?

Louisiana has by far the lousiest deal with Big Oil w.r.t. severance. I suspect it's because LA governors were long ago paid off handsomely, and screw the citizens.

This is a big deal to lots of current folk in the state. Maybe Jindal can do something about it, but I doubt it. (It's assuming a lot to think that he even has the motivation to do something about it.)

I guess it's a regional thing. Escarole, endive, etc, are more common here. Okra's more southern, right?

GravatarFried okra, with fried whole catfish and greens with hot pepper sauce. Lordy.

Damn.

When I go home, I make sure to go to the local catfish place and get fileted cat fried in peanut oil, with jalapeno/onion hushpuppies, cole slaw, pickled green tomatoes, and fries. I generally hurt myself.

GravatarI thought it funny how at the rnc freak show some speaker was going on about since they were both from the west, the sun was rising in the west and were therefor rugged individuals not dependent on hand-outs.

What percentage of "the West" lives in the combined metro areas of Denver, Portland, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, and San Francisco? Like 90? Hard to see how those places are any more ruggedly individualistic than the rest of America.

GravatarHeard a "Dem analyst" on NicePoliteRepublican radio actually do something useful - "GOP analyst" spewing the big lie about Dems attacking Palin personally and Dem analysts challenged him to name one. Twice. Forced him to admit neither Obama nor Biden had done so; best he could come up with was Barney Frank. Dem then pointed out all Barney said was the hypocrisy of GOP policies toward family planning was a fair topic.

Later Dem brought up the 527s of the GOP, so NicePoliteRepublican host helpfully charged that George Soros is made of money and apparently funnels it all to the Dems.


GravatarOops. I forgot Portland.


GravatarIt's the image. All that cowboy, lumberjack, wolf-shooting garbage. During the Palin film they showed at the rnc, there were images of hunting, woodstoves, and cabins. If they could have gotten footage of her wrasting a bar, it would have been included.


GravatarTrue, Noblejoanie. Not to mention grazing, mining, electricity etc. The sucking sound we in the blue states hear is the sound of our tax dollars being moved from our wallets into the pockets of imitation cowboys.

GravatarToday's Polls, 9/5

"You can all stop hyperventilating now.

After yesterday's polls showed little sign of Republican momentum, today's polls -- which incorporate reaction to Sarah Palin's speech for the first time -- now show some bounce toward John McCain. You can fill out basically every square in the 'B' column of your bingo card with the national polls today: CBS now shows a tie; Rasmussen shows the race tightening to 2 points (down from 5 yesterday); the Economist shows it at 3 points, Gallup at 4 (down from 7), Democracy Corps at 5, and the brand-new, Diageo-Hotline tracking poll at 6."

Then, barely pausing to take a breath, he opined that her strongest asset was that she was "better looking than [Joe] Biden."

and now, it's time again to go put food on my family. i'll be careful!

Gravatarabc news poll:


Six in 10, nonetheless, approve of McCain's selection of Palin, about the customary approval level for past vice presidential picks. That's despite the fact that fewer than half, 42 percent, think Palin has the kind of experience it takes to serve effectively as president if that became necessary. Far more say Biden passes the experience bar, 66 percent.

Men are slightly more apt than women to say Palin's experienced enough for the presidency, 46 percent to 39 percent, with more women unsure about it. Seventy-four percent of Republicans say she's sufficiently experienced; 44 percent of independents and 21 percent of Democrats agree.

GravatarPalin church promotes converting gays
By RACHEL D'ORO – 16 hours ago

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.

"You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality," according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.

Palin's conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain's candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.

Focus on the Family, a national Christian fundamentalist organization, is conducting the "Love Won Out" Conference in Anchorage, about 30 miles from Wasilla.

Palin, campaigning with McCain in the Midwest on Friday, has not publicly expressed a view on the so-called "pray away the gay" movement. Larry Kroon, senior pastor at Palin's church, was not available to discuss the matter Friday, said a church worker who declined to give her name.

Gay activists in Alaska said Palin has not worked actively against their interests, but early in her administration she supported a bill to overrule a court decision to block state benefits for gay partners of public employees. At the time, less than one-half of 1 percent of state employees had applied for the benefits, which were ordered by a 2005 ruling by the Alaska Supreme Court.

GravatarAlaska:
oil ATM


(AP) It's the season for Alaskans to be rewarded just for living here and this year's take is extra sweet: $3,269, a record share of the state's oil wealth combined with a special cash payout to help with stratospheric energy prices.

Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell announced Friday that every eligible man, woman and child will receive $2,069, thanks to this year's annual payment from the state's oil royalty program. On top of that, the checks will include an additional $1,200 from the state treasury to help offset soaring fuel prices.


the state has 680,000 residents and 24,000 state employees, about 4%.
Fewer than 100,000 elected Palin, who got less than 50% of the vote with an independent getting 16%.
Most Congressional districts have more voters.

GravatarGood luck with your burn, ina. I just got stung by a bee or yellowjacket or some such. I was out on the deck on a warm dry Northern California morning, minding my own business, reading a book, and zap, I got stung. On my upper leg. Right before the leg becomes actual butt. Yeah. Awkward. I can't even see if there is a stinger. (I am near-sighted and clumsy with mirrors. The leg and butt are unexceptional in size and girth. It's my eyes.)

But I'm not in anaphylactic shock, so, yay.

Speaking on venom, though - I try to avoid Ann Coulter, although I did see her briefly as I was changing channels the other day, and she was all shocked and dismayed at how viciously Sarah Palin has been treated by the media and/or the Obama campaign (she believes they are the same, I think), so I know Coulter is waving the Palin banner. But damn, I can't imagine them in a room together for very long. Huh.

So if Bush 41 and Clinton go flit about working for global relief, why can't I imagine Coulter and Palin marching along side by side over the long haul? Just becuse they are Men Girls? No, I think that I am NOT a self-hating woman. I think that Coulter can't live without venom, and a cooperative effort eventually runs short of that if it's not piped in. And Palin: well, the evidence is still coming in.

My butt hurts.

A friend owns a catfish farm. We always used to talk about mud cat and attributed the muddy taste to the muddy water in the river the fish were grown in.

Turns out the muddy taste is a fungus on the fish. The farmers put the fish in clean chlorinated water for a couple of days to kill off the fungus and the fish tastes better.

Yeah, I saw McCain eyeing her rack, too.


GravatarEver seen those photos of Grizzlies catching migrating salmon in their mouths at waterfalls in rivers? I keep imagining Sarah doing that for "fun".


Gravatarmost merkins think it is i-rack

Yeah, but if you mispronounce their neck of the woods they get mightily pissed off.


Gravatar“So Sambo beat the bitch!”

This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.

GravatarSinfonian-- NPR had a piece about that email from the Palin acquaintance that you have on your site. It's legit; they even interviewed the person who wrote it.


GravatarPouring down rain here.

Was talking to the lady up the street.

She and her late husband were Republicans.

Till the day Bush started his war in Iran.

And her husband, a WW II vet who died in 2005, was disgusted with the Swiftboat shit in 2004.

She says she's been impressed with Obama since his speech at the 2004 convention.

She says she likes the idea of having a Vice President "from the area".

BTW, hates McCain and Palin. Thinks they're both nuts.


GravatarIt makes me nervous when new-nym posters catapult this "sambo beat the bitch" hit piece here. It has the tangy smell of Rather bait.

Don't want to appear too uppity pronouncing it correctly. It's also very important to drop your g's with the NASCAR/snowmobiling crowd.

Menu in an upnorth gearhead cafe featured: Quesedilla Soup
When a customer ordered it, the waitress corrected him, saying, "I believe it's pronounced
Q sa dilla."

3. Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?
SP: Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support.

GravatarThe 'Sambo' story may be a Rove plant. No named source is a key. We need to be very careful because the traitor Rove is famous for putting out his own dirt and then screaming that we are dirtying his precious candidate.


GravatarMy Southron Grandmother ordered "En-chil-la-lees" in Mexican restaurants


GravatarThe author of the story above, which quotes Palin as stating "So Sambo beat the bitch" after Obama wrapped up the nomination is Charley James, A former assistant editor of "Business Week" magazine, and a television news producer and reporter before that.

Man that lady has class, huh.

The fact that legit commenters are participating in the catapulting of this story does not rule out that it is Rather bait. Trying to score a critical hit on her with something like this is tempting, but very risky. better to kill her with the deathof a thousand cuts.


GravatarHere's a story I posted early this a.m.:

"Perhaps the saddest aspect of Palin’s disgusting record on environmental issues is the fact that it’s hardly even being mentioned in the debate about her nomination. Most of the focus, for an audience of suckers weaned on celebrity gossip, seems to be about her mothering skills, her daughter’s pregnancy, and whether she was Miss Congeniality or just a runner-up in some beauty pageant. The fact that she makes her living helping to wipe out whole species, poison productive watersheds, and play to the stupidest great-white-hunter fantasies of her constituency hardly even seems worth a mention."

Gravatarfrom what I hear 'sambo' and 'bitch' are just normal everyday alaskan conversational terms


Gravatarblerb:

I agree that we should keep hammering her for her corruption and her being totally unqualified for her job.

Of course, she's a racist.

That a prerequisite for being a Republican nowadays.


GravatarAdam Hominem: Curly looks like he's just about to press the button that launches you into outer space.

It's the auto-focus light that causes that. When that orange light comes on, he suspects the flash is coming, and starts to squint.

GravatarMike--the British news has covered her antienvironmentalism:

Sad we have to look across the pond for this reporting, though, isn't it.


GravatarAgain some Repuke dork on CNN saying that if McCain loses, Palin is the Next Big Thing for the Repukes. Does he have any idea how pathetic that sounds?

and a liar.

Mark my words, she's going to have her Macaca moment.

They can't keep her away from a live mic forever.


GravatarWe've had a couple of these now. New nyms pushing Trig is Bristol's and now new nyms pushing the Sambo story. I'd like a little more sourcing on something like that.

The rules for democrats are: any lie told about them can be repeated endlessly in the media no matter how often they are disproved. If the tiniest detail about a story concerning a Republican has to be backed off from the rule is that all discussion of the entire topic is now debunked and forbidden.


GravatarJust saw the intervening comments. I doubt its a Rove plant. But I'll admit that I see the worst in her so won't pretend to be objective. When someone lies repeatedly, as she does with a smile on her face, it seems to me that its evidence of a person with serious character flaws. And having spent over a month in Alaska prosecuting a civil rights case on Kodiak island the rest of the article rings true to me.


GravatarJoel Fleischman, The Doc on Northern Exposure, could have started a misfit Jew trend in Alaska.


GravatarAll right Plantsman! But for me I don't care. Oysters on the half shell whereever they are from, I love them. But yes I like the cold water ones better,

Don't get me started on cherry stone clams.

I am SO tired of everyone wetting their pants in fear over the very mention of Rove's name.

"Watch what you say....Rove will use it against us."

Even if Rove wasn't given ammunition, he would make shit up.


GravatarIt is as though the entire country is a homophobe who is actually a closeted homosexual.

Yeah, if it's not on an open mike where thousands can hear, it means nothing.


GravatarThe NW Atriot bbq was a lot of fun last night. It was so to meet more people in person I've known online for so long.


GravatarHe isn't gaining anyone. They have very obviously given up on the run to the center bit altogether and are counting on the base turn out thing. They don't have the levers of power with which to steal as much as they did before, and there are only so many "Ban teh gai" votes you can put up before nobody is left to rile up any more. They peaked with this in '04 and some of their followers are even vocal in their renunciation. None of our side is joining them outside of a handful of really confused "Any Woman at Any Cost" or panicky racists.
