CLEVELAND (AP) -- Swat! Take that, New York Yankees.
Helped by a freakish invasion of bombarding bugs that rattled rookie reliever Joba Chamberlain in the eighth inning, the Cleveland Indians rallied to beat the Yankees 2-1 in 11 innings Friday night to take a 2-0 lead in their AL playoff series.
Travis Hafner's bases-loaded, RBI single with two outs in the 11th scored Kenny Lofton with the winner.
Lunacy. Surreal. Hitchcockian. Call it whatever you'd like. October baseball has rarely witnessed something like this.

I heard a brief mention on NPR that consumer spending accounts for about 2/3's of economic activity in the U.S.
Is that true? Does it mean we could stop the economy, if, for maybe just one month, we stop buying crap we don't need?
It would seem like we could have stopped this war at any time over the past years, if we could just stop buying shit for a month.

In that interview I asked Joe to comment on some of the statements made by John Aravosis at Americablog, which often supports HRC, often defending the group against critics. I'll likely be writing more on this, but I just wanted to briefly address it here. John and I have been friends for a long time and he's done great work, so it really pained me to see the disturbing things he wrote in his support of removing transgendered people from ENDA. It's one thing to start a discussion about the pragmatism of a bill, or of civil rights legislation. It's another thing to claim that transgendered people are not part of the larger gay movement (and gay used to mean everyone thirty years ago, including those who now call themselves trans) and then make what many people will see as creepy, offensive remarks. Most of what John wrote along those lines was in his comments where he was aggressively posting, as when he said that transgendered people were keeping millions of gay people back, using gays and lesbians as "human shields." John has since toned down that kind of commentary, and is mostly now posting pieces by people who, for pragmatic reasons, think ENDA should go through as is. Several are people who've had the same positions on transgendered inclusion for years. John also suddenly has the support of some rather dubious characters, like Andrew Sullivan, but we won't even go there.
Aravosis falls for another political ploy by people who devalue civil liberties.

If your insurance covers it, bitch long and loud for some physical therapy, and see if elctrostimulation (tens) helps. If it does, sink your teeth into the doc's shin as deeply as you can and don't let go until he/she gives you a prescription for one of them machines.

Where wouldn't that have been true? Our entire country is built on land that was taken from indigenous people. Unfotunately, much of the history of the world is about conquest. Doesn't make it right, but it's still a fact.
We often use eminent domain to compensate people when their land has been designated for a use that has a higher public purpose. if the Palestinians had received the apppropriate compensation at the outset, many of these problems wouldn't exist today.
The bottom line is that Masters of War benefit from constant strife in the Middle East.

Most of it. I've been reading The Omnivore's Dilemma and was telling my sister about it and commenting on the increasingly shit-like nature of our food, and she says something like "well, they're just giving people what they want." I say, BULLSHIT! There was no consensus of motherfuckers crying out for sausage wrapped in synthetic maple-syrup flavored pancakes on a stick! They invented that shit to try to squeeze a few more pennies out of what is essentially an inelastic market...people generally don't buy too much more food than they're going to eat.
With every other consumer good, it's that much worse, since there is no theoretical limit to the number of CDs, clothing, etc that one person will buy if they have the money to buy it.

In his memoirs in 1949, the first Israeli President, Chaim Weizmann, wrote about the Zionist ambition to build a ''high civilization, based on the austere standards of Jewish ethics.'' But the Zionist dream cracked when it fell to earth. ''A land without people for a people without land,'' said the hopeful Zionist formula. But Palestine was not a ''land without people,'' and the Jewish state from its birth has lived in a state of war in order to protect the dream from the discrepancy.

I'm a bad guy because I, well I sing some rock-and-roll songs, and who's a bigger influence, the President or Marilyn Manson? I'd like to think me, but I'm going to go with the President.
Michael Moore: Do you know that on the day of the Columbine massacre, the US dropped more bombs on Kosovo than any other day?
Marilyn Manson: I do know that, and I think that's really ironic, that nobody said 'well maybe the President had an influence on this violent behavior' Because that's not the way the media wants to take it and spin it, and turn it into fear, because then you're watching television, you're watching the news, you're being pumped full of fear, there's floods, there's AIDS, there's murder, cut to commercial, buy the Acura, buy the Colgate, if you have bad breath they're not going to talk to you, if you have pimples, the girl's not going to fuck you, and it's just this campaign of fear, and consumption, and that's what I think it's all based on, the whole idea of 'keep everyone afraid, and they'll consume.'

That's real interesting, because I've been thinking for quite a long time now that the real fear in this country, the one that gets sublimated under the veneer of all the others, is the fear of losing economic and therefore social status. It's the fear people have when they're trying to hold on and see it slipping away, or fear that it might. Pretty much every act of American aggression and assholerly, both individually and collectively, seems to in some way relate to this primal American fear of losing status. The other stuff is just acting out to avoid acknowledging the real fear.

I know you're on to something here, but I think the recent unpleasantness has tried to capitalize on people's fear of losing their lives, and the lives of their children, and their "freedom" (although I don't know how they think giving up actual freedom accomplishes this).
But we're some of the most brainwashed people on earth, IMO, and think we have some kind of claim on world supremacy. I can't tell you the number of people I've met who will tell you this is the greatest country on earth who have never been outside its borders.

Richard Pombo's Chief of Staff's Roger-Rabbit-like jawdrop and eyebulge when he opened walk into the corridor leading to Pombo's San Ramon office and saw 8 people marching down the hall, carrying a large placard requesting a townhall meeting to answer allegations of corruption and accompained by a TV station video crew.
Absolutely, categorically worthy of Roger Rabbit. That was July '06 and it was the beginning of the end for Little Dickie Pombo.

Giuliani - "We lost control of Congress because we were just like the Democrats as far as spending is concerned — shame on us," Giuliani told the anti-tax group Americans for Prosperity.
So shouldn't I understand that the majority of Americans prefer the Democrats way of doing things?

That's interesting, isn't it? How people have mutated physical fear into "defending our freedom".
People didn't come up with this idea on their own; it was marketed to them.
Imagine a world in which the response to the 9/11 attacks was, "we will not sacrifice our sacred values to an act of terror" instead of "all hail the leader! He will save us from bad things!"

Bush said, "-- leaving thousands of his own citizens dead, blind, or disfigured. Iraqi refugees tell us how forced confessions are obtained -- by torturing children while their parents are made to watch. International human rights groups have catalogued other methods used in the torture chambers of Iraq: electric shock, burning with hot irons, dripping acid on the skin, mutilation with electric drills, cutting out tongues, and rape. If this is not evil, then evil has no meaning. (Applause.)"
...hell of an applause line. Still, I guess "waterboarding" doesn't cross the line that Bush has in his (little) head.

Lesson learned young. I was born in the US of A, but the earliest thing I can remember is being on the back of a Korean girl in Seoul as she and her buddy jumped up and down on there version of a teeter-totter (You stood on it). Then there are memories from Japan. I don't remember crying when I was a not yet 5 yo in 1949, being told I wasn't Japanese and was going home, but it's wasn't much later, after being a stranger in the strange land of America, that I concluded that citzenship and nationality was an accident of birth, and there was no Divine Providence, a special bennison(sp?) involved in the fact that I was born an American.

Well, we are dependent on Japan and China.
They are the two countries that are propping up the dollar.
If they follow Vietnam's lead, we are screwed. If other Asian countries do, it's not quite so bad.
European central banks need to be watched too. They are struggling with our subprime market. If they stop shoring up their banks, and start dumping dollars, then expect either Japan or China to rethink their position on holding dollars.

Was pondering again. This administration and it's cronies moved forward with immense change. IMO, they have attempted to toss out just about every procedure, expectation and tradition possible to create their view of change.
It reminds me a lot of software projects I have read about and at times involved in. The newest mousetrap is ballyhooed until the powers that be break down and let it happen. Tons of rah rah talks, promises and then the "implementation". Years later that same mousetrap is still being wedged into place while the old system is chugging along in the background. Finally someone pulls the trigger and the old system goes mainstream. The time, the money and the manpower in the project are totally discounted and the project seems to suddenly never have existed.
I think that is what we are headed for when the Prez steps down. We go back to the old system. Not perfect, but understood and workable.
Meanwhile somewhere, somebody starts tallying the bodies for a foot note in history.

EGN,
Thank you for reminding me to rattle my Congresscrittera Eshoo's cage regarding the Progressovista's stand on FISA.
May many salmon fillets come to you, unless you prefer the heads, of course.

Any country pegged to the dollar will bail, and peg their currency to the euro. Then every country hold dollars will dump theirs to buy euros as fast as they can to avoid being the last one holding dollars.

When docs do a breast biopsy these days, they insert a tiny titanium clip in the area where the procedure was performed. During future mammos, etc., it alerts the radiologist to a prior area of concern.

On the subject of getting back to basics, let's clean up the prison/corporate links too. Maybe roll back sentencing to actual crimes instead of punishment for smoking an herbal remedy weeks before. Maybe that would also cut the legs out from under the drug cartels and gangs and reduce the reason for up-potency drug buys (like Prohibition increased the availability of hard liquor in homes)... /rant

Asimov was an explorer of science fiction boundaries in the middle of the 20th Century. His influence can be felt through generation after generation of authors that approach science fiction in much the same way he did. In other words, he was a good guy to have around.
Unfortunately, heart problems in the late 70s and early 80s forced him to have multiple operations. He survived and recovered from these surgeries, but later learned that he had been infected with HIV through blood transfusions. The disease claimed him in 1992.

Well blah blah blah. Let's be clear about one thing. It's the liberal left that is in the minority. Remember that "silent majority" you heard about some years ago? Well, it was more like the "silenced" majority, which is silenced no more. Take a look at the ratings, talk radio is overwhelmingly conservative.
There, I feel much better already.

Today, I didn't fare so well, but I did try. I'll make amends tomorrow, but I'm not sure amends can be made when the core differences come down to values.

I think it was Asimov, but I remember reading an article about how feasible it was to become invisible. After examining several gadgety methods, he essentially said the simplest way is just to convince everybody that they can't see you.
