hi


nothing like a fresh thread all to myself


ok, I'll go back down, call sheets


GravatarEvening or afternoon or something


GravatarImpeach!


GravatarIf anyone wants to mow the lawn for me today, I won't stop you.


GravatarWhen did Jay start letting Atrios post at his blog?


GravatarSure Thers, right after Eurovision's over OK?


GravatarOkay Thers. I will mow my lawn for you.


GravatarIf anyone wants to mow the lawn for me today, I won't stop you.

You could come and play hide-and-seek in my "lawn" instead. Or roll it down.


GravatarSerbia's act seem to have a past Irish quality vibe


GravatarNEW TUNNEL FROM NYC TO LONDON!

GravatarIf 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.


GravatarThers,

If you don't cut it, it becomes a meadow. Think about it.


Gravatarmaybe not with that note


GravatarI think I'll roast a hen tonight.


Gravatarthere's one guy in blue jeans in this act that's not doing anything but wandering about the stage.


GravatarI'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.


Gravatarthe tin whistle and the violins give the vibe


GravatarSerbia's giving us a serious ballad. It's a little ST-NG.


GravatarFound an excellent pic to go with a post about Furman University faculty protesting Bush's upcoming commencement speech...


GravatarThen they came for the meadows.
Then they came for the flower beds.
Then they came for the potted fern.


Gravatarand always interesting to watch new colonies invade your lawn. Stands of flowers are nice, crabgrass not so much.


GravatarIf 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.


GravatarEchidne, I sorry to hear that. I love your blog, and you.


Gravatarnext its Russia

the track was produced by Timbaland

honest to dog


GravatarSo from now on I'm going to blog on the oppression of white fundies only.
Echidne | Homepage | 05.24.08 - 4:46 pm | #


has ever such an oppressed group been found?

ever?


GravatarI'm going to blog on the oppression of white fundies only.

it's a crowded field...


GravatarEchidne,

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.)


Gravatarmer, 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.


GravatarThat tunnel thing is pretty keen.


Gravatar"I'm going to blog on the oppression of white fundies only."

I hope you're in favor...


GravatarRussia.

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.


GravatarAre 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?

I fired up a game


Gravatardid Timbaland find jesus or something?


GravatarA male ice skater.


GravatarClinton 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.
Choose Wisely.

GravatarOkay Thers. I will mow my lawn for you.

Ahem. While I am flattered by the offer, I remind you that I am a happily married man of the highest moral integrity.


GravatarNorway now


GravatarAre 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.


GravatarEvgeni Plushenko is a Russian Ice Skater

GravatarNASHVILLE (AP) -- The 5-year-old daughter of Grammy-winning Christian music star Steven Curtis Chapman was struck and killed Wednesday by a sport utility vehicle driven by her brother, authorities said.

Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter was fatally struck by a sport utility vehicle driven by her brother Wednesday.

The girl, Maria Sue, was hit in the driveway of the family's home Wednesday afternoon by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by her teenage brother

Those foolish enough to dismiss their accomplishments are blinded by fanatacism and rage, hatred of women being only a small part of the pathology. You are very ill, and need serious, long-term therapy and drugs. And we'd all be better off if you were off the street.

Echidne


Ah, I didn't understand. Now I do. Thank you so much for that. May I get drugged to the gills and have a tumbler of vodka now?


GravatarFor Father's Day, Hillary has given herself a Colombian necktie.

Hillary's self-inflicted gash will be her legacy.

Beautiful.


GravatarAre fembots the ones that spout dangerous feminist talking points?

I thought they were the ones that fought Steve Austin and Jaime Summers.


Omigod I had forgotten all about that.

Jaime ... sweet Jaime.


GravatarThe money...didn't appear.

you should sue whomever lied to you and said there's money in this.

That's what the whiskey is for. "Integrity goggles."

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?


Gravatarhillary is the victim of sexism as every woman is AND a privileged multi-millionaire who voted for war.

so, uh...


GravatarYou could come and play hide-and-seek in my "lawn" instead. Or roll it down. - Echidne

GravatarBecause 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. Echidne

Wow, that's a lot of insight and big words for a woman! [pats head, files will]


GravatarNo 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?


GravatarQuiltlady,

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!


Gravatarnote to self:

do not think about presidential candidates for the rest of the weekend.

have a nap.


GravatarJust finished my lawn. Not doing anyone else's.

Mother and MIL coming for dinner. Will report later.


Gravataramerovision must be right around the corner.

the correct anser is: 5 at most, if he lives that long, which is unlikely.


Gravatarhillary 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.


GravatarWTF? Aren't you in the middle of the woods anyway? Tell them you're zeroscaping.

GravatarAnd the use of racist slurs against Obama is bad for the same reason. They can't really hurt Obama, he is rich and influential. But they can hurt other black people by being made acceptable again in the process of use.

There are three more primaries. Let the final three vote then she should suspend her campaign. Lots of excitement and interest in the campaigns and it is not going to make any difference.

that shit's got to change. if moe were here i know he'd agree. it's ass-backwards in every way to require people to spend money and gas and chemicals and all the rest of it. my hatred for artificial lawn culture grows by the day. would they ticket you if you replaced the grass with wildflowers? you never have to mow that, plus: butterflies and hummingbirds.

GravatarIndeed, 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?


GravatarI vote for Bosnia-Herzegovina.


Gravatarand she also thinks that my dislike of hillary clinton is partially fuelled by sexism.

so there you go.


GravatarUnfortunately 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.


Gravatarit's ass-backwards in every way to require people to spend money and gas and chemicals and all the rest of it. my hatred for artificial lawn culture grows by the day. would they ticket you if you replaced the grass with wildflowers? you never have to mow that, plus: butterflies and hummingbirds.

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.

GravatarEchidne,

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.
