The party was okay. Typical. (The beer was kept behind the counter) But it was nice. The lady's grandmother could have been mine: looked and acted the same. Made me a bit sad.
That report on the radio was really and truly offensive on so many levels. I listened and thought to myself, does this lady even think about what she is saying? I found it utterly without merit and offensive as hell.

There's a post in comments at The Great Pumpkin that poses this question:
So, there's this poster, and you know s/he's been banned. You're pretty sure, but not certain, that s/he came back under a sockpuppet that was also eventually banned. You think s/he's come back under a third name and is engaging in obnoxious and confrontational behavior, but not behavior that has led to a lot of troll ratings.
What's the proper procedure? I'm pretty certain this is the same person, but I don't have any way of checking that (other than recognizing the writing style). Do I email an admin? Assume they'll take care of it?

----
Justice Department Voting Section Chief John Tanner's "investigation of the 2004 election in Ohio concluded that long lines and late voting precincts were due to the fact that white voters tend to cast ballots in the morning (i.e., before work) and black voters cast ballots in the afternoon (i.e., after work)," Conyers said in a release.
Why did African American voters suffer long lines in Ohio?
Tanner wrote in a letter TPM Muckraker uncovered that "...the principal cause of the difference appears to be the tendency in Franklin County for white voters to cast ballots in the morning (i.e., before work), and for black voters to cast ballots in the afternoon (i.e., after work). We have established this tendency through local contacts and through both political parties, and it accords with our considerable experience in other parts of the United States. Morning voters may wait in line several hours, as happened in white precincts, without keeping the polls open after 7:30 am; this is not the case, however, at sites where voters arrive after 5:30 p.m."

“That’s a big, open question,” General Caldwell said after a long pause.

Bush won't invade Turkey, will he?
In 2003, Dubya's poor diplomacy mean Turkey prohibited troop movements from the north, thereby effectively lengthening the "shock-and-awe" portion of Operation Inigo Montoya* by days (at least).

I thought the US used lots o' bases in Turkey as feeding troops and supplies in to Iraq.
Among the irregularities in voting, Conyers listed insufficient voting machines in predominately minority and Democrat districts, provisional ballots that disenfranchised thousands, voter registrations that were rejected because of paper weight, efforts by Republicans to engage in "caging" tactics that targeted 35,000 mostly minority voters for intimidation and the use of voting "challengers," who could challenge voters' rights to have their vote counted.
The challengers, he said in his report, were "concentrated in minority and Democratic areas likely disenfranchised tens of thousands of legal voters, who were not only intimidated, but became discouraged by the long lines. Shockingly, these disruptions were publicly predicted and acknowledged by Republican officials: Mark Weaver, a lawyer for the Ohio Republican Party, admitted the challenges 'can't help but create chaos, longer lines and frustration.'"
Machines sat unused while voters were waiting on long lines.

I read it, and I am grateful to you, and I just want all you guys to know that I do understand the opposing viewpoints on Al. I really do, and I appreciate the fact that you respect my right to ♥ Al Gore.
Regardless of what happens, I think that most of us agree that he's a compassionate, intelligent human being who is capable of showing true leadership. He's a visionary in many ways, and what happened in 2000 was way worse than unfortunate - for him, and for all of us.
4-3 Cleveland!

... And Starring George Clooney As Howard Dean
Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney are to star in a film loosely based on the rise and fall of presidential hopeful Howard Dean. The Warner Bros production will be based on a stage-play written by Beau Willimon, a former assistant on the Dean campaign.
Entitled Farragut North, after a Washington Metro station in the heart of the lobbyist district, the film sounds like darker version of Joe Roth's Primary Colours. It tells the tale of a youthful communications guru working for a principled but unorthodox politician who finds himself undone by a slick and corrupt Washington establishment. Currently in rehearsal, Willimon's stage-play is set to open on Broadway in the run-up to the 2008 presidential election. Mike Nichols is directing.
I would watch that.
If Cleveland wins will they set their river on fire?
... And Starring George Clooney As Howard Dean
who was very, very good in "Michael Clayton".
Australian election called for November 24th. That's a whopping six weeks of campaigning. Whether or not Howard is on the way out -- and the polling suggests he is, though never underestimate Labor's capacity to lose elections they should have won -- that's a better kind of campaign than two fricking years of prezniting.
He's a visionary in many ways, and what happened in 2000 was way worse than unfortunate - for him, and for all of us.
It's heartbreaking.
But he needs to do what he now believes needs to be done.
And when you think about it, the health of this planet is more important than this country.
If Cleveland wins will they set their river on fire?

No, they'll just burn down Pittsburgh. Nobody will miss it.
Huge country, big military, mean, mean disposition.
According to the CIA Factbook online, there are a little over 71 million Turks (although perhaps 20% of them are Kurds). And then there's this:
in the early 1990s, the Turkish Land Force was a large but badly equipped infantry force; there were 14 infantry divisions, but only one was mechanized, and out of 16 infantry brigades, only six were mechanized; a subsequent overhaul has produced highly mobile forces with greatly enhanced firepower in accordance with NATO's new strategic concept (2005)
And the Turks don't like to take shit from people they used to oppress.
The last time they were in the World Series.
1954?
No, they'll just burn down Pittsburgh. Nobody will miss it.

I agree. But if he can be called upon to run, it'd be a wonderful platform for him to get his message out.
He may be brokering with the campaigns to ensure that climate change will be foremost on their agendas, along with the war.
Regardless, I'd hate myself if I didn't at least try to do what I believe is best for the country - and that, to my mind, is a Gore presidency.

People are just tired -- you're tired of it. I'm tired of it. And forget -- this is not an indictment on her. This is not a religious discussion. This, to me, is a moment in time where we kind of say, "Enough." Everybody in the studio is there watching, going, "Oh," yet we're talking about it. So you go, "Wait a second.

Ah. Then you probably already know that the billionaire Koch brothers have a long history of creating rightwing think tanks and political organizations, such as Cato and CSE. And one of them was a founding member of the John Birch Society.
Sports uniforms have changed drastically from when I was in high school in the 70's. Back then, tennis and basketball players wore really short uniform bottoms. Football players actually had knee protection. And baseball players didn't wear what looks like pajama bottoms nowadays.

Rice Worried by Putin's Broad Powers
MOSCOW (AP) - The Russian government under Vladimir Putin has amassed so much central authority that the power-grab may undermine Moscow's commitment to democracy, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Saturday.
"In any country, if you don't have countervailing institutions, the power of any one president is problematic for democratic development," Rice told reporters after meeting with human-rights activists.
"I think there is too much concentration of power in the Kremlin. I have told the Russians that. Everybody has doubts about the full independence of the judiciary. There are clearly questions about the independence of the electronic media and there are, I think, questions about the strength of the Duma," said Rice, referring to the Russian parliament.
I don't think changing pitchers is gonna help.

Condoleezza Rice has amassed so much irrelevance that many worry she will pass over the edge of irrelevance to some marginal importance, Vladimir Putin has said. Recently Rice was reduced to trumpeting things people knew nearly a decade ago, which is completely different from what she was doing as a secretary of state, executive at Chevron or president of Princeton.

ALL the right-wing "Sovietologists" missed the collapse because their careers and even their entire lives were dependent on the US vs. USSR forever. I attended a talk by a Soviet diplomat during Gorby's time and so-called experts in the faculty-dominated audience were actually arguing over intended liberalizations and reforms.
Seriously! "You can't do that! You can't be serious!"

MICHAEL CLAYTON
Not only is this another perfect movie, but it is a testament to George Clooney's acting that the last sequence of the film, the opening credits playing at the end with George as Michael in the backseat of a taxi reflecting silently, is as engaging as the preceding seatedging. Sydney Pollack and Tilda Swinton are fantastic.

If a president gave Teddy Roosevelt's speech today 80% of AMericans would have no fucking clue what he is talking about. (and 50% of the talking heads would not even understand it either)
Our moral trajectory over the Bush years could not be better dramatized than it was by a reunion of an elite group of two dozen World War II veterans in Washington this month. They were participants in a top-secret operation to interrogate some 4,000 Nazi prisoners of war. Until now, they have kept silent, but America’s recent record prompted them to talk to The Washington Post.
“We got more information out of a German general with a game of chess or Ping-Pong than they do today, with their torture,” said Henry Kolm, 90, an M.I.T. physicist whose interrogation of Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s deputy, took place over a chessboard. George Frenkel, 87, recalled that he “never laid hands on anyone” in his many interrogations, adding, “I’m proud to say I never compromised my humanity.”
Our humanity has been compromised by those who use Gestapo tactics in our war. The longer we stand idly by while they do so, the more we resemble those “good Germans” who professed ignorance of their own Gestapo. It’s up to us to wake up our somnambulant Congress to challenge administration policy every day. Let the war’s last supporters filibuster all night if they want to. There is nothing left to lose except whatever remains of our country’s good name.
That is Rich's call to arms and it fails to acknowledge that not everyone is or has been just standing idly by.

"Couric" is the new measure of a quantity of shit in the South Parkaverse.
Condoleeza Rice is a world famous concert pianist and can speak perhaps 10 languages.
This is a very common claim but it can be safely asserted that true total fluency in more than three languages is almost impossible. It is very common to find specialist academics who are extremely good in numerous languages, but who are still not fluent in all of them. It is also very easy to lie about being able to speak a foreign language in a country like America: present yourself before even a highly educated board of some kind from a college and honestly, what can they do to rebut a professed mastery of Sanskrit? There is no universal standardized testing system, although the State Department has one and it's supposed to be reasonably good because it's the same as is used by diplomats and intel. Except that Americans are famously linguistically inept. Juan Cole recently half-exposed a colleague who claimed to speak fluent Farsi but couldn't return a "Good Evening" at a party. All these neocon fuckers claim to speak numerous languages, all automatically append the word fluent,
and all are probably lying.
There are many people who claim to speak a lot of languages who get exposed as frauds, like Anthony Burgess at an Italian press conference. There are people who speak twenty languages, but nobody speaks ten languages fluently.
Shit, I was just a lousy high school government teacher and I knew that the S.U. was just a fucking shell.
Damn, I wish I remember the book I'd read before I went to the USSR for the first time in 1986. Author's last name was Copper-something, IIRC. Basically said the Soviet Union was a paper tiger, and it totally made sense once I actually visited. One of NTodd's Pa's Wife's lawyer friends recommended it to me at lunch a few weeks before my trip.
To prep for my second trip in '90, NTodd's Pa and I went to see Red October. Uh...whatever.
this is all just background noise by the far left.

ALS fucking sucks. Diseases like that remind me that what I do is worthwhile, even if I never figure out shit myself.
A Cardinal in the last century was reputed to speak, if not fluently, at least comfortably, something like sixty languages.
My father was fluent in four (to the point that Spaniards thought him Spanish, French correctly thought him Creole, and Germans took him for Swiss), and got by in Yiddish, (not bad for an ex-altar boy at Jesuit), Mandarin and Latin. He started Mandarin at the age of seventy, in a class full of seven and eight year old Chinese children on Sundays. They called him "Grandfather". At his death I donated dictionaries and grammars in more than twenty languages to Tulane, but most of these were for fooling around with. He made a serious stab at Russian, Arabic and Hebrew, however.
Okay, here's my epic post on NYTimes op-eds...

Yes, I would like to see that too. I have a feeling that I have seen such a thing, but I can't recall where or find a link in bookmarks.
AFAIR, Jack is a "slamclick"-like driveby poo-flinging troll. I don't see any of that right now.

work in the medical field, do you? If you're in a lab, bless you. Or bless you for anything you do to help the process of figuring out how certain things kill us.
Hell, I'm old enough to remember when shows would announce that they were "In Color". NBC was big on doing it. "That Girl" made it a part of the intro.
But the color fidelity in the mid 60's made everyone look Asian.
The roid rage and shriveled testicles?
The pimples and sudden hair loss?
I'm unhappy to see a Chevron ad at the top of the Atrios page -- that oil company continues to do business with the thugs who run Burma. They take a blind eye to the killing and beating of monks as long as profits keep rolling in.

Yes, yes, somewhat, and not yet...
A Cardinal in the last century was reputed to speak, if not fluently, at least comfortably, something like sixty languages.
He was the subject of a chapter on learning better and his method was claimed to be the creation of careful visual associations in vocabulary work. Thus bureau or buero is an orderly, secretary-filled warehouse where beer is being arranged into rows, a beer-row office.

Never saw Mark McGuire's balls, but he always had that horribly inflamed neck acne (nacne?).

I can't get over this lights out pitcher for Boston looking at his feet when he delivers the ball.

And in the '70s all the sitcoms were made in orange and brown color palettes.

Give it up. You'll never be so cool as Zod.
Hell, I'm old enough to remember when shows would announce that they were "In Color". NBC was big on doing it. "That Girl" made it a part of the intro.
That and naming the advertisers ("brought to you by...") and, my favorite "The Andy Giffith show! Starring....Andy Griffith!". What the fuck??!! Really? And Griffith is starring in the Andy Griffith Show? Who'd a thunk it?
I can see that about the Cardinal. What was his name?
Okijima (sp?), the Boston pitcher, is doing a superb job of frustrating the Indian batters.
He didn't have acne, per se, but his face looked ravaged, like he had it, and it just had gone away for a bit, but definitely left its mark...
Blood money.
You'll never be so cool as Zod.
Pfft. ...didn't even know what to do in the White House once he stole it.

You're not talking about Superman II?

work in the medical field, do you? If you're in a lab, bless you.
Why, thank you. I consider myself blessed. I'm a "research scientist" (until yesterday, a postdoc), working on T cell development at UCSF. I'm currently investigating the function of a gene that appears to be potentially relevant to several autoimmune diseases. That's not ALS, but MS,. diabetes, etc. kill plenty of people. It's often extremely frustrating work, but I guess there's nothing else I'd rather do.

Sometimes diverting revenue streams is a good protest.
You go ahead and not take money from Chevron if you like. If Atrios can take it and fund this blog, that might just be a good thing.

Well, I dunno if they're one and the same, but there's some dude driving around Rochester, NY (Eastside, Fairport/Pittsford area) with a "GENRL ZOD" vanity plate.
And his blue SUV has quite a few stickers of the character from the film.
Bit odd it was.

You are one of the most wonderful people in the world. Thank you so much for your work. Diabetes, asthma, etc. Good on you!!!
Okijima retires the side.
Impressive pitching!
Andy Griffith sucked after it went to color, 'cause that's when they lost Barney.
You're not talking about Superman II?
No, but I really do need to rip I and II at some point. I've got the new Superman on my iPod, but not the classics.
And for the record, NTodd's Pa's Wife would've loved Zod. She really found trolls fascinating, and he's a great subject for study.

Lifetime Achievement. Mayberry has been murder free since 1960.
Actually, Griffith was superb in "Face in the Crowd" (1957).

Our Zod comes from Central PA, it appears. He's said so, and his IP addy confirms. Also, he's posted as Harry Callahan in the past, and there are 2 in PA.
He also seems to be banned, presumably because he's a FUCKING PSYCHO DICKWAD.

Griffith was superb in "Face in the Crowd".
Post-"Andy Griffith Show," he did a couple of pretty good dramatic turns in TV movies - "Go Ask Alice" and "Pray for the Wildcats" (with William Shatner and Robert Reed!)...

My debate question for Rudi:
Other than as a convenient place to meet the woman you were having an adulterous affair with and as a way of funneling tax dollars to a contributor, what was your motivation for putting the emergency center for NY in the World Trade Center after it had repeatedly been a terrorist target?
slamclik, thanks to the joys of killfile I can't see what you said, nonetheless, please crawl back up whoever's asshole it was that you were expelled from.
NTodd, Cupcake | Homepage | 10.13.07 - 11:36 pm |
If we call him, do you think he'll answer the phone as "General Zod" or "Residence of General Zod"? Or will he just command the phone to answer itself?
Ramirez has a .500 average in postseason.
Wowzers.
Pitching change for Cleveland.
Jim, Collieresque
That was beautiful.
They oughta put A Whitney Brown back on TDS or the Colbert Report. The latter wouldn't suffer for the loss of talking about the eagle or the minor league hockey team

Still Betancourt pitching, apologies.

Aw shucks, you are way too kind. I think there's a bunch of us here in the biz. Sallyh and Stuntwoman, to name two, but I bet there's more. Maybe someday one of us will do something worthy of such praise.

Chucking a rock through a window scares the shit out of people. But it's still good clean fun.

Struck him out!
"Waitress" and "Play the Game" are the same movie, with Andy Griffith and Keri Russell.

Concerning the proposed retroactive immunity to the telecom companies:
If the Dems cave on this one, that’s it. I will NEVER support this pussy party again. Caving in to a fratboy president with a 27% approval rating because they’re scared the Republicans are going to go “BoogaBooga, it’s the terrorists” again. Don’t they understand that even if they DO give Bush everything he wants the Rebubs are STILL going to use the terror card, because it’s all they have left, and they’re even losing that, since the majority of Americans agree that the telecoms should NOT be given immunity. Look, I don’t agree with this bullshit that we have to vote for the Dems because we don’t have an alternative. I have an alternative - I am going to stay home and party on election day in 2008, as I watch the stupid Dems lose their ass to the Republicans because they won’t do the things that we elected them to do. We helped those mother-fuckers retake the House and Senate last year, and now they piss all over us. Well, fuck them. I hope they choke on this vote. Every left-leaning Dem blog should constantly ream the asses of all these traitorous Democrats for selling out our constitutionally-given civil rights because they lost their backbones after 9/11.
I have voted Democratic since 1974, when I turned 18 years old, and I have never hesitated to support my party. But now I don’t think I can, because they have turned their backs on me. This isn’t just the Blue Dogs either - it’s nearly ALL of them. Why are they so afraid when the people of this country want to see real change and not just a rubber stamp for Bush and the Republican Party? The logic is so twisted it borders on the moronic. And now that we have the revelation that the head of Qwest Communications was railroaded into a conviction because they wouldn’t agree to give the government illegal wiretaps- even BEFORE 9/11- makes this vote even more inane. I originally was born and raised in Chicago, so I know what a fighting Democrat is, and it looks like about the only ones left are on this and other lefty Dem websites. I guess I will have to start trying to find a way to get enough money together to move overseas somehow, because I don’t think I can live in this country anymore, and I love my country more than any of these phony “patriots’ do, who are constantly trying to scare our citizens with their false terror alerts and dire predictions of flaming office buildings and dirty bombs.
I have a feeling that even if this bill is passed that the anger from us will become so great the the idiots in the Democratic party will have to realize what a colossal mistake they have made. They cannot ignore us any longer. Funny, Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the right-wing nutjobs seem to realize how powerful we really are, because they are truly scared of the Dem netroots, since they saw what we did in the last election and also what we are doing to the lies and half-truths they broadcast (re:the Frost fam
I felt the same way about Biden's proposal concerning Iraq. How come congress only seems to be able to get legislation past Bush's veto on the rare occasions I agree with Bush?
