"The hand grenades were the wrong type."
--a famous line from "White Sun of the Desert", one of the most beloved films in Russia. Now used as an obviously terrible excuse when you have no good excuse.
E.g., you are supposed to bring some beer to a party, and you completely forget to do so and show up empty-handed, and a friend asks you, "What did you bring?" "The hand grenades were the wrong type," you answer sheepishly.
OTOH history never repeats itself exactly.

If you actually lived through that era and saw it reduced to stupidity, the movie would piss you off all the day long and into the night. . . .
Maybe so! Maybe as a result of my being born too late, I found the "historical message" of the movie, if there was any at all, incoherent. So it sort of washes over me as an entertaining setting, and all that's left are the stories about the personal relationships.

She was a special-ed teacher, a former rodeo queen and the daughter of a wealthy beer distributor. He was "this awfully nice-looking Navy captain in dress whites" who "was kind of chasing me around the table," she recalled in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. He'd been through 5 1/2 years in captivity in Vietnam, though she didn't know it then. She didn't even know how old he was. They both lied about their ages.

Richard Scheffel, a lobbyist for Anheuser-Busch, is said to have boasted that Sen. McCain's father-in-law used him as a conduit to funnel money to politicians. Sampley quotes an Arizona newspaper as saying that, "Cars, homes and bank accounts of 18 people, including eight state legislators, were confiscated in a civil racketeering lawsuit that paints a portrait of lawmakers eager to sell their influence for as little as $660 and as much as $750,000." Although Scheffel was not targeted in the civil suit, he is said to have been paid $20,000 to approach legislators who showed an interest in selling their votes for hard cash, as part of an apparent sting operation, according to the Phoenix Gazette of February 6, 1991. The same newspaper identified Jim Hensley as "a financial godfather to hosts of lobbyists" in a story that appeared on March 16 the same year.

I don't miss 1968. Worst political year I've ever seen in 58 years. And the tribal feeling, the us-against-them, was a lot of us kidding ourselves. There was a lot of talk about how drugs would make us free, for instance. And, within a few years, the tribalism would degenerate into the Weathermen, the PL, the Panthers, like that, all effortlessly marginalized and persecuted to meaninglessness while Nixon went to China.
I enjoyed being 19 when I was 19, too.
Blur is smarter, for sure. Oasis has more anthems and is more "sing along".
I think I like Damon Alborn's other bands better than Blur.

When I turned 18 (number 64 in the lottery) in 1972, they were only drafting 19 yr olds.
When I turned 19, the draft had essentially ended. There even was a time when Nixon couldn't get funding for the Selective Service through Congress.
But you are right, there were lots of options.
Unfortunately, a lot of the options were income dependent.
Class, as always, Marx was right.
Also, no one listened to conservatives.

I was only in grade school, but it was clear that things were quite amiss with the grownup types.
Bjorn, needs a president -
Trust the out of state Democrats to pick up exactly the -wrong- part of the story.
The links between McCain and Hensley and a bit of influence peddling and such are certainly there. But it's the links between Hensley and Kemper Marley, the Mafia, and the murder of Don Bolles that are much, much more interesting.

Yeah, it's pretty offensive. I've seen more TV in the last three weeks than I have in the last ten years, and it's pretty amazing how bad it is. The "extreme eating" shows are especially irritating...I hope all of those schmucks die of indigestion.

THose are pretty bad. Though I confess to liking "Most Haunted" on travel channel. It's supremely silly.
Nowadays a teacher tries bringing his wood anywhere near an underage girls's booty and he's looking at a big fat lawsuity.

Nah, Agnew was a joke. Even Nixon and the Germans thought so. He was good for throwing red meat to the hard-core wingnuts, but his name and visage were constantly used as punchlines in any number of popular venues. Wish I'd bought one of those Spiro Agnew wristwatches (which, IIRC, were put out by Jay Ward, the guy responsible for Bullwinkle).

Well, this isn't what I was thinking of but:
In 1987, HBO aired Conspiracy: The Trial of the Chicago 8, a docudrama which re-enacted the trial using the transcript as the primary source for the script. William Kunstler, Leonard Weinglass, and all eight of the original defendants participated in the project, and provided commentary throughout the film. It was awarded the 1988 CableACE Award for Best Dramatic Special.

This might be the best GOP FISA quote yet, from Sean Conway, the chief of staff for Colorado Republican U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard (h/t Zappatero):
And the House has just simply said, we're not going to accept this, because we want to have, you know, terrorists be able to sue phone companies if they're listening to our conversations. It's insane.
The most difficult job in America -- it's really impossible -- is satirizing Republican exploitation of Terrorism. No matter how far the satire goes, the actual fear-mongerers always easily surpass it. House Democrats want Terrorists to be able to sue the phone companies. That's what this is about.
Conway also beat his chest and said this:
I don't know about you, but if I'm a Democrat out there, you'd best, better hope that something does not happen in this country while this bill lapses.

SA is a true "terror state" in every sense of the word.
Carl Levin:
Late last year in meetings with senior Saudi government officials, Congressional staffers raised concerns about the case of the Saudi rape victim who faced six months in prison and two hundred lashes because she spoke out publicly.
The Saudi officials responded by simply saying, "Guantanamo" and "Abu Ghraib". As if to say, "Who are you to lecture us about due process and human rights?"

YESSSSSSSS! I'm staying at the FDIC facility by George Mason (is that it?) not too far from where we ate last time. I'm taking the Metro in from DCA so I won't have a car, but can navigate the mysterious underground railroad...
Elias,
I was only in Grant Park once during the Convention. It was during the day, so it doesn't count much.
But I was downtown a lot for the trial. The streets were complete anarchy. Cops and Black Panthers and Witches (which stood for WOmen's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell) Nazis, Hippies, and tear gas, and thousands of demonstrators like me to bear witness.

I think 3 Dog Night beat you to that particular sentiment:
How can people be so heartless
How can they ignore a friend
Specially people who care about social injustice
How about a needing friend?

It was more about the Convention than the aftermath (the trial) right?
Adam Hominem, Prevert
Yes. It was a brilliant mix of documentary cinema verite using actual footage from various events like the Poor Peoples march and the riot in Lincoln Park, with a fictional love story between a TV camerman and a Vietnam vets widow. There's one unforgettable scene where the director, Haskell Wexler, films the LP police riot with a handheld camera, all the while following the female star through the action. You've GOT to rent this film. I'm pretty sure Netflix has it...

The Sixties to most people ran till '75 and the end of the War
Which means it overlapped with the fifties
Yeah, there's overlap with every decade. Some more than others.
Adam: lots of people beat me to that one...
In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the plowman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.

They need to appoint to the Supreme Court people who are unabashedly pro choice, who believe in checks and balances and civil liberties and human rights and the rule of law, and are in their 40s in perfect health. Who don't smoke or drink to excess. Whose parents are alive and in their nineties and sharp as tacks.

There's a great book by Starhawk called The Fifth Sacred Thing that posits a society that actually tries to make decisions on a consensual basis that includes representatives of, for example, the wolves, and that does so successfully. In my v. worst moments, telling myself that that society is possible keeps me going.

And all I can do is genuflect in reverence that one of our surviving true polymaths should comment upon my vile utterance.
bo: folk confront medical issues on all kinds of levels. One of the things I learned fairly quickly is that comparing things like complex experiences, as if one could be established as more, less, or equivalently meaningful to the other, is futile. And having three kids, with three widely varying sets of likes, dislikes, loves, phobias and like that, has only reinforced the idea...
Every once in a while, I did have this reaction, after even a fairly simple day of surgery--a couple of uncomplicated hernias, say--that it's passing strange, doing this for a living, that I worked fairly hard at viewing it as everyday, quotidian, routine, when in fact it was nothing of the sort, even at its least melodramatic.
