I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
hi
nothing like a fresh thread all to myself
ok, I'll go back down, call sheets
Evening or afternoon or something
Impeach!
If anyone wants to mow the lawn for me today, I won't stop you.
When did Jay start letting Atrios post at his blog?
Sure Thers, right after Eurovision's over OK?
Okay Thers. I will mow my lawn for you.
If anyone wants to mow the lawn for me today, I won't stop you.

If anyone wants to mow the lawn for me today, I won't stop you.
I was planning to mow today, but surprise surprise... it rained.
Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
Thers,
If you don't cut it, it becomes a meadow. Think about it.
maybe not with that note
I think I'll roast a hen tonight.
there's one guy in blue jeans in this act that's not doing anything but wandering about the stage.
I've decided that writing a feminist blog wasn't quite the career move I thought. The money...didn't appear. The malware e-mails are now up to three a day. And then I've found that I'm a fembot.
So from now on I'm going to blog on the oppression of white fundies only.
the tin whistle and the violins give the vibe
Serbia's giving us a serious ballad. It's a little ST-NG.
Found an excellent pic to go with a post about Furman University faculty protesting Bush's upcoming commencement speech...
Then they came for the meadows.
Then they came for the flower beds.
Then they came for the potted fern.
and always interesting to watch new colonies invade your lawn. Stands of flowers are nice, crabgrass not so much.
If anyone wants to mow the lawn for me today, I won't stop you.
If you want to drive down and pick me up, I'll do it.
Echidne, I sorry to hear that. I love your blog, and you.
next its Russia

honest to dog
So from now on I'm going to blog on the oppression of white fundies only.

has ever such an oppressed group been found?
ever?
I'm going to blog on the oppression of white fundies only.
it's a crowded field...
Echidne,
Not that a man should ever tell a fembot what to do and all but wouldn't it be easier to find some "Minority" where the entire "Minority" agrees about the repression? (And there are lots of them, I think.)
mer, I love you, too. You will like the new posts about how good a man George Bush (the Jesus) is and how he keeps us all safe as predicted in the Bible and in evolutionary psychology.
That tunnel thing is pretty keen.
"I'm going to blog on the oppression of white fundies only."
I hope you're in favor...
Russia.
Now this is great. A singer, a "virtuoso" violinist and an ICE SKATER going in circles around the first two.
I just realized that's supposed to be English.

a satirical blog which does a bit what colbert does would be cool. i guess jesus general does that too.
Are fembots the ones that spout dangerous feminist talking points? Or are they like Laura Bush, drugged to the gills and makeup like Tammy Faye Baker?
virgotex
I fired up a game
did Timbaland find jesus or something?
A male ice skater.
Clinton had an affair with Flowers, as he's admitted, and whatever the length, it wasn't out of 'feminist' motives.
Why would Bill succumb to a whore? His ardent feminism?
But you raise a better point - Why would Hillary stay with a whore-monger?
Membership has its privileges. She couldn't be as 'successful' without him? What does that make her?
According to you, there is no rational basis for dislike of the Clintons, nor for loathing their opportunism and litany of abuses of the public trust.
That's because your admiration for them is the truly irrational factor in all of this.
To you, Clinton is Elvis and you so fawn over him. Hillary is your Snow White, and you fancy yourself a Dwarf defending your silly notion of her 'honor'.
In truth, they are destructive megalomaniacal narcissists who will say anything and do anything to feed their greedy addiction to power.
Those foolish enough to admire them have two choices: (a) admit you've been had by skilled con artists; (b) continue your quixotic defense of the indefensible.

Are fembots the ones that spout dangerous feminist talking points? Or are they like Laura Bush, drugged to the gills and makeup like Tammy Faye Baker?
They are both, of course, depending on what is needed. Right now anyone writing about the sexism of, say, Tweety, is a fembot. Because there is no other reason to be angry about that than the sole desire to have Hillary Clinton the president. No other reason at all, because only Hillary is a woman, so all other women are unaffected by sexism becoming mainstream acceptable.

GOP strategists mull McCain ‘blowout’
“We’re actually sitting pretty well in most states.”
The only question: Will McCain win 45 states, or just 40 in November?
hillary is the victim of sexism as every woman is AND a privileged multi-millionaire who voted for war.
so, uh...
You could come and play hide-and-seek in my "lawn" instead. Or roll it down. - Echidne

Wow, that's a lot of insight and big words for a woman! [pats head, files will]
No other reason at all, because only Hillary is a woman, so all other women are unaffected by sexism becoming mainstream acceptable.
I think mainstream sexism has become increasingly unacceptable over the past 100 years.
What did I miss? Is this a porn thing?
Quiltlady,
I hope you have noticed that I have been pretty much aghast at the people's reaction to Hillary's misstatement. What she said was really something she should not have said but that is all it was. The reaction she is garnering is, IMHO, much worse that what she said. What is it with people? I am missing something here.
I think she should leave because she cannot win and continuing to disrupt the process is detrimental to the party. That is all. Sheesh!
note to self:
do not think about presidential candidates for the rest of the weekend.

the correct anser is: 5 at most, if he lives that long, which is unlikely.
hillary is the victim of sexism as every woman is AND a privileged multi-millionaire who voted for war.
so, uh...
The point is not her. She can take care of herself, what with all that money and influence. The point is that the sexism is used against other people when it becomes respectable by being used against her, what with her being a monster bitch from hell.

Indeed, as Republicans experience their worst days since Watergate, those same GOP strategists are reticent to publicly tout the prospect of a sizable McCain victory for fear of looking foolish.
Well, after first predicting the Republican landslide in 2006, what have you got to lose?
I vote for Bosnia-Herzegovina.
and she also thinks that my dislike of hillary clinton is partially fuelled by sexism.
so there you go.
Unfortunately Hillary is supposed to desex herself to run for prez.
How about just having a basic knowledge of and honesty about the facts?
She said in March (was she already fatigued back then?) that the '68 nomination process ran "longer" than now. WTF? That's just not true.
She said Bill wasn't the presumptive nominee until California voted. WTF? That's just not true.
So take 2 parts manure, and add one part gasoline - using the word "assassination"- ignite the mixture and see what happens.
She has done this to herself, early and often. She has no other hope than that an assassin might make an opening for her.
To repeatedly bookend with bullshit RFK's assassination up in it's 40th year, the week Ted Kennedy is diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, and not expect to get called on it for the WMD it is?
She's either a fool or she thinks we are fools. Granted, some are, especially those who idiotically give her the benefit of the doubt.
She has done us all a favor...
She became a suicide bomber.

We've doubled the garden size and planted a bunch of trees, in part to cut down on lawn area. Also I bought a reel mower, for exercise purposes and because I fucking hate gas mowers, which are very tempramental machines. But I still need the old gas mower beast for much of the lawn.

Echidne,
I really do not have time (physically - left) to encounter this argument. The truth is that people are different. From each other and from each other sexually. There are sexual differences between men and women beyond the physical. (Thank goodness)
I disagree vehemently with those who disagree with that statement. I have spend a lifetime watching and nurturing children of both sexes as they grow and mature into men and women. There are differences in their approaches to problems, interpersonal relationships, and learning styles. This is beyond arguing as far as I am concerned.
The problems arise when one tries to qualify these differences. Is one way better than another? No. It is like a coin: there are two sides. The same thing only different.
So, do women perceive the world (in general) differently? Yes, I believe they do. Is this difference "Less?" Of course not.
But it is real.

Once Obama is free to really run at McShithead, he will pound him into cracker crumbs. Debates? Might as well get a mop for the Repukes. What is mcCain going to say? After 8 years of treason, failure, incompetence, lies, theft, mass murder, international embarrassment, economic disaster, resurgent racism, declining educational levels, crumbling infrastructure, one lost city, two lost multi-billion dollar buildings, a successful attack allowed on the PENTAGON, the perps still running a video studio, and Mccain's inability to mount a fundraiser in the biggest city of his own state, what will he say? ey, they may well try to steal it again, but that will just lead to their destruction, perhaps violently. It's over for the GOP, all but the sniffling and whining.

I don't think I've ever called Hillary a bitch, for what it's worth. I just think she's a stupid and incredibly irritating politician with a huge ego. Frankly, I'm ecstatic that she will soon be disappearing from our discourse. I mean, by next January of course when the court cases are settled or decided.

To this day, she mows it more than I do.

My rule of thumb here, and everywhere else, is: if the subject of the word finds it racist / sexist / whatever, it is.
Play it safe and call her a projectile-vomit-inducing fucktard.
Too much of a pain in the ass with extension cords, etc.
Mine doesn't have an extension cord. It charges up in the shed, mostly, given where I live, on nukes, and then mows the lawn w no cord. It's a bit heavier than other mowers, but I tell myself that's good for my arms.

Growing up, Mr. ql was excused from household chores, including cooking, because he has a dick. Same was true in my house growing up, so upon marriage I just unthinkingly did all the cooking. For 35 fucking years. Upon retirement I rather strongly suggested that we should take turns preparing meals. He's come to love cooking.
Hilary is obviously the aryan nation gatekeeper from hell. Damn her to hell for all the liberal causes and work she has championed and worked for to help the people and their children in this country.

Thank you for the biggest laugh I've had all day.
DWD, I have a whole blog for these kinds of discussions and it's not something to do in a few comments in general. But the point is that the world does NOT on the whole view women as "different but equal", and that the differences between the sexes are in the shape of overlapping frequency distributions in almost all the cases (so that women do something 60% of the time, men 45% of the time), so that the false dualism can be misleading. Then we also don't know the relative influences of upbringing and biology and how they interact.
I had always assumed that Hillary hatred was just that: dislike of a particular individual. But I am still waiting to see what will happen when the next woman rises to that level of prominence. I read people who criticize Nancy Pelosi, but for her policy positions, not for her personality. Condoleeza (sp?) Rice is criticized, but she works for a morally bankrupt administration.
I will be interested to see how women politicians of my generation (born in 1960s) are evaluated.

no, actually, you don't. there are many ways to naturalize a lawn without tilling. one way is to pick flowers that can compete with grass, and take over the space over time. i know of several that can do this. another way is to simply cover the lawn with compost, recycled materials and such like, and then put in flowers on top. you can also burn it out, but moe wouldn't like to hear me say that.

Well, in spite of the misogyny trolls, and the general disgust with all things Clinton, Hillary was not destroyed by her party so much as by her party's hacks, who have long overstayed their welcome. She ran a poor campaign, and failed to connect with the lefty base, who would have been the ones to activate the GOTV and fundraising. I disagree with you totally that a more conservative dem female is needed. had she tacked to the left, she would have had this sewn up before Obama got any traction.

WORD 
So what about all the women who have said that "we need a woman in the white house"?
Are they confused jackasses?
Or is it an affirmative action thing?
If you can, visualize a country where a man has never been a president. Why would having one in that situation have benefits to other men? For instance, when your mother-in-law tells you that all men are good for is violence, watching football and boozing, you could point out that the president is a man and is leading the free world?
Or when your boss won't promote you because you are a penis-driven low-attention-span boob ogler you could point out that some men do just fine in positions that demand skill?
None of this is to support Hillary Clinton as the candidate, but to explain why women might like the idea of a female president in general.

Once I went to one of those mall playgrounds with a good feminist friend and her toddler daughter. The daughter went over to play with the plastic weight-lifting equipment. Her mother steered her to the plastic kitchen, without ever realizing that she did that.
Now, I'm not at all saying that there are no differences among toddlers in interest. But children don't grow in isolation from the society, and they pick up stuff somewhere. Also, as far as I can tell, sex differences seem to really be maximized in behavior in the years around 10-13 and then they diminish.

I don't think anyone could have predicted that growing up male in a patriarchy might make it slightly harder to realize that others perceive aspects of the society that might go unnoticed to oneself.
Final thought: when have I EVER said anything remotely different from this?
Never, and that was not what I meant. But you state that you believe the sexes are different and equal, and I point out that the world on the whole doesn't think they are equal. So feminism is important and needed, whether all women think so or not (see your earlier post on this thread). After all, a woman can choose to relinquish equality in her own life if she so wishes, but this doesn't work the other way round (cp Saudi Arabia).

For 60 years, through novels, plays and miscellaneous non-fiction, Vidal has preached the message that government is not only pervasive but corrupt; that while there are may be two political brands, Democrat and Republican, there is only one party: business.
Unfortunately Gore Vidal is richtig. This is of course reinforced by a population composed of billy b clones.

I have a 2001 CRV and it gets 24-26 mpg in its most McCain moments, like when it's got the rocket box on top or is carrying five people and gear. 28-30 when I am squared behind at about 10 feet some big truckload of hogs or cattle going 75 down I-90. Realy bad idea, incidentally, but fun to try once or twice. The four cylinder CRV is something gutless wonder: dies to a crawl on the passes when pulling the driftboat on a trailer and sometimes has a hard time pulling the drift boat and trailer out of snotty take-outs on the Missouri.

At the start of the Democratic presidential nomination, Vidal had favoured Hillary Clinton (a photo in his 1995 memoir, Palimpsest, shows Mrs Clinton visiting him at home in Italy), but recently he switched to "the other side". Not John McCain, of course. "McCain is the village idiot. He is very, very stupid, even by American standards." Barack Obama has begun to impress him - "but only to a point. He doesn't have much to say. I'd rather see a woman as president, if we're going to go in for minorities, but Hillary lost her nerve."

On top will go sandy soil that lavender and rosemary will love, but, underneath will be compost made of oak leaves and English ivy and eggshells and coffee grounds and carrot peelings and . . . .
And a small blood offering from me, because, of course, it's my herb bed
Still not entirely sure that mimi/elias are the same, or some sort of sick dysfunctional duo.
The flirting tag-team is an Allen Butler specialty.
mimi==Elias.
==annieangel=shoelimpy==General Zod==Econ102==Livefreeordie==...

Marcellus recently pointed out that "mimi" had been trolling another site, eurotrib.com, under the name mishimishi.
Out of curiosity, I took a look over there and through the magic of google a saw a very familiar pattern. Multiple identities (mishimishi=zoe=mmmm=....), flirting sockpuppets, attempts to divide the community with a mixture of "good citizen" and psycho behavior, and, perhaps most interestingly, a hostile obsession with some of the more prominent posters.
Over there, "she" would regularly attack Jerome de Paris, who is the moderator of the place.

Bill Clinton appointed Ron Brown Commerce Secretary, partly as a reward for Ron Brown's success as a campaign fund raiser. From day one, allegations surrounded the exact means and methods by which this success was attained. Investigations into Ron Brown's activities (his son would later plead guilty to money laundering) were nearing the point of indictments, and Ron Brown had publicly stated that he would not go to jail alone, when the airplane carrying Ron Brown and about 30 other people crashed in Bosnia.
It is worth noting that Ron Brown was just one of four Clinton campaign fund raisers to die under questionable circumstances. The others were C. Victor Raiser II, Hershel Friday, and Ed Willey, a total of three plane crashes and one "Fosterization". Following Brown's demise, his personal attorney as well as a co-worker at the Department of Commerce, Barbara Wise also died under questionable circumstances. As in the case of yet another "suddenly dead" member of the Clinton administration, Vincent Foster , Ron Brown's office was ransacked for files by Commerce staff immediately after his death.

I suspect that he probably lives with his parents and what work he manages to get is online. His part-time tutoring gig is (he's written about it).
Getting back to the one troll theory, one of the other things that's convinced me of it are the overnight threads when there are a lot fewer posters around. In those cases, it becomes more obvious that one guy is using multiple identities, in particular, when several characters all arrive "coincidently" within a few minutes of each other and leave just as abruptly.
Following Brown's demise, his personal attorney . . . died under questionable circumstances

The main problem with the Clinton Body Count is that it hasn't yet been dovetailed with the List of Dead Microbiologists.
By putting the two together, we can see that HRC is planning to unleash some sort of bioweapon right before the election, which'll be engineered to cripple or kill black voters. In this way, she'll be able to seize the White House and shock the world with her centrist economic policies and her staunch support of Israel.

Clinton fundraiser take fright!
Richard, what about the fact that there are trolls here around the clock? What does Butler live from if he's here nearly 24 hours a day?

From what I can piece together, after Butler graduated from college in 2005 or 2006, he moved to Canada to move in with the woman who calls herself annieangel, a nurse or nurse's aide he met when they both trolled the Weekly World News forums. I think they've moved to the states now. At any rate, he calls himself a freelance writer. But, from what I can tell, he basically just sponges off of annieangel.

Be careful, Sinfonian! Isn't the green sky a sign of an approaching tornado?

Sin, my only experience with green skies is just before a tornado with accompanying thunder storms hit.
You might want to consider finding a safer place.

It's more of a "oh, shit, there's a fucking tornado RIGHT HERE!" sign.
Green skies and hail scare the living bejesus out of me.

Speaking of multiple MOs, Butler pulls the namestealing stunt more often than not when he's been made upset.

Well, I'm keeping a constant eye on the radar and it shows the storms going just to my south.

I don't have the puppy yet. Not till July 10.
Speaking of multiple MOs, Butler pulls the namestealing stunt more often than not when the THC levels in his bloodstream have dropped, and the reality that he's not fooling anyone seeps into his brain.

Don't think I've forgotten that you stiffed me, and not in a good way.
As in the case of yet another "suddenly dead" member of the Clinton administration, Vincent Foster , Ron Brown's office was ransacked for files by Commerce staff immediately after his death.
Paging Snopes...
Looks like Bill C may be key to the end of this:

Discreet merger talks between key campaign staff and leading fundraisers in both camps are already under way. But the process of healing is fraught with friction after accusations of sexism, racism and other insults.
Bill Clinton has been stung by accusations that he played the “race card” by referring to Obama’s story as a “fairy-tale” and comparing his early success in South Carolina with that of the Rev Jesse Jackson, the failed black presidential candidate, in the 1980s.
Nevertheless, friends said they expected the former president to campaign hard for Obama once the nomination is settled.

And you should watch that it doesn't drop a house on you.
Bill Clinton thought he was off the hook regarding Danny Williams. Danny is now a teenager and does not know the identify of his father. While growing up, his mother told him his father was Bill Clinton. Arkansas troopers had actually taken Christmas presents to Danny on behalf of Bill.
Danny's mother is Bobbi Ann Williams. She happens to be black, and when Clinton knew her in Little Rock, she was a crack cocaine hooker. When Clinton would go for a jog and take a little break from his duties at the governor's mansion, there was at least one occasion in which Bobbi Ann serviced him in the bushes.
Pictures of Danny bear a striking resemblance to Clinton. As evidence of her story that they had an affair, Bobbi Ann was able to accurately describe the inside of the home of Clinton's mom, Virginia Kelley. The only way she would know that is if she was the housekeeper, she had broken in, or someone took her there. She was not the housekeeper. There is no record of a break in. We are left to the conclusion that her story is true, and it was their love nest.
...
Bill Clinton, who has used the "N" word, who has used black people all his life, needs to be shown for who he really is. How will people feel if they know that he has been a deadbeat dad, particulary of a child who is half black?
