For a while I thought the anti McCain talk was just a clever plan to somehow innoculate McCain from the rampant "kill all Rightwingers" virus that will be sweeping our nation for the next several years, but now is see that it is genuine, if absolutely inexplicable. Those people on the Ratwing are just plain bonko-bananas.

The payoff from the excellent Rolling Stone article Gillie linked to downstairs:
But on the same trip, it also began to become clear what it might mean if Barack Obama were somehow, despite it all, to become president of the United States -- the resonance it might have not just within the United States but beyond. On a bright morning, the senator's convoy pulled into the Kibera district of Nairobi, which is called, perhaps unscientifically, the largest slum in all of Africa. It is undoubtedly the most compact: There are up to 750,000 people living in less than two square miles of malign-looking shacks, with no electricity and no running water. The whole place stinks of human waste. Kibera has become a common stopping point for American notables touring Africa's stricken zones -- congressmen, Chris Rock, Madeleine Albright -- and the place has assumed a kind of indifference to visiting celebrity. This is not the case with Obama. The senator has no speech planned today -- he is here for a meeting on microfinance -- but thousands of people have choked the dirt paths through the ghettos. Obama biro, yawne yo! they shout -- "Obama's coming, clear the way!" His name, in its local rhythms, sounds almost like a religious chant. Kenyan police on horses, thin and jumpy animals, try to beat back the surging crowd.That's strong.
When Obama is finished with his meeting, he comes out of a hut: a skinny American dude, looking more like thirty-five than forty-five, his face treadmilled-thin, all teeth and cheekbones, holding a megaphone at his side. The roar is deafening. For a second, Obama looks stunned. He lifts the megaphone to his lips, but he can't make himself heard. When he lowers it, he's grinning. For the first time, it seems as if some resistance has broken in Obama: His reluctance has been replaced by something deeper and more spontaneous. He raises the megaphone again. "Hello!" he calls out in the local dialect. The wave of sound that greets him is awesome. He half-loses it, just starts yelling into the megaphone: "Everyone here is my brother! Everyone here is my sister! I love Kibera!" The crowd is so loud that he can't be heard more than twenty feet from where he is standing, and so he begins to wade into the crowd, shouting into the megaphone again and again: "You are all my brothers and sisters!" The look on his face is one of pure joy. Months later, his eyes still glitter when he recalls the sheer spectacle of it all. "It was a remarkable experience," he says.
The residents in Kibera know little about Obama besides his race, the fact that his father is from this country and what the Kenyan papers have told them: that he represents a younger and more empathetic vision of America. It's enough. Here, at last, is what it would mean to have a black president of the United States, one with a feel for what it means to suffer the rough edge of American power...
Remember: half of the Republican delegates are picked in the election (100% of the dem delegates are in the primary). Anybody who wants can vote in the Republican primary for whoever they want.

That bizarre Jindal character who's the governor of LA was being awfully positive about Obama tonight. Don't know quite what to make of it.

I am not unsympathetic. There are clearly no rational reasons to support your favorite candidate, so it is only logical to rummage in the danker, smellier corners of your soul for the origins of your bizarre and inexplicable preference of a presidential candidate who sucks. Please be assured however that I do not judge you harshly for the fact that you surely like to molest squirrels while high on crack cocaine. This is likely only the melancholy if inevitable consequence of your upbringing in a family of dysfunctional, alcoholic leprechauns. With therapy, you may heal. Perhaps.

Heh, heh, heh. Good line.
"When's she gonna lay that egg?"
"Where is there a caucus tomorrow?"
maine.
But was able to meet Mary Tamm (the first Romana) in person
Lucky You, SCT!
It was many, many years ago--probably 82, 83, there about. But a charming woman.
One of the good things about living in Chicago at that time were the Dr. Who conventions of the early-1980's. You got to see damn near everyone who was alive who'd been on the shows. One small con in the area my family and I spent about 45 minutes just shooting the shit with Colin Baker, talking about England and the weather and how he liked Chicago and stuff like that.
Well, remember to watch the 14 episodes of Firefly. Ya gotta have those.
You absolutely do.
Where is there a caucus tomorrow?
jawbone
Maine?
Yes. In the snow, it seems.
Goodnight, folks.
Go, team!!
Mrs. Doghiney says it's bedtime for Bonzo.
Peace out!
Where is there a caucus tomorrow?
Maine, and it's the one to watch. The Clintons are leaning hard on this and relying on their natural NE strength. If ME turns out close to a draw, then it spells trouble for the Clinton campaign.
'night, zap.
Dunno, but I find it much more democratic to hold elections on weekends rather than Tuesdays.
I like it too, but my cheese lady was complaining today that she couldn't go, since today is the busiest day. Maybe in an election instead of a caucus.
May I just drop in and say that I am still very enamored of this video by Les Savy Fav? The song kicks.
So, when's the election?

I liked the movie derived from the series. Isn't the writer doing comic books now?
Oh, Maine! For some reason I didn't realize it was on a Sunday. Have fun.
That most women leaders have not accomplished much (well, since Elizebeth I and Catherine the Great).
Golda Mier and Maggie Thatcher, just off the top of my head, are probably lookin' to kick somebody's butt right about now (either in the here or the hereafter)...
Lots of Obama support up here.
Stay Warm, Zap.
Can anyone provide a capsule review of the Christian Science Monitor? I dumped the NYT for the Kristol Ass-hattery, and the Austin American-Statesman three years ago for endorsing George W. Bush (forgivable in 2000 for any Texas paper, not so in 2004).
It used to be very good. Still is, but thin.
Bring back BLakes's Seven!
They were smart enough to beam down with weapons drawn already. That helped them survive a lot. That and no red shirts, of course.

Yes. Joss Whedon.
And Kristoff replaces MoDo this Sunday and tells us that people aren't ready for woment leaders. That most women leaders have not accomplished much (well, since Elizebeth I and Catherine the Great).
Shit for brains.
The spin in DC is that Donna Edwards is doomed because she said she'd think about a commuter tax as opposed to being outright against it like Al Wynn.
Edwards doesn't appear to be having any problems raising money.
Speaking of the original BSG, Richard Hatch and Herb Jefferson are going to be "special guests" at WonderCon in SF in a couple of weeks.
Also, Steve Carrel and Anne Hathaway are apparently going to be there previewing the new "Get Smart" movie, unfortunately at the same fucking time as Mark Evanier's panel on Jack Kirby. Nice scheduling, guys!

Still quite a few people got whacked out during the course of the show. Particularly at the end--or did they?
It's remarkable to lose 120 pounds... I hear they're selling swatches of Huckabee skin on EBay.
plus a Clinton win or near-win in ME allows some face-saving for the Monday headlines. The fact that Bill's mea culpa interview for local ME news was broadcast far and wide indicates the campaign has identified Bill as a liability when he's seen as taking a lead role in Hillary's campaign.. which underlines this weekend's "dust-up" (Bills' words) over the MSNBC comments.. we'll see if it's enough to motivate those older ME voters, it might be.. on the other hand...

Honestly.

Apparently, the Post has endorsed her...
BSG isn't worth watching for the plot, just for how even in drama they try to manipulate us. It's the only drama I follow, but the storyline got ridiculous some time ago. (I imagine Lost is the same way, though I only saw one episode)
Did Hucklebee have gastric surgery to lose weight?
HOO Haw!
LONDON (AFP) - OPEC could switch the pricing of oil from dollars into euros within a decade, secretary general Abdullah al-Badri told a weekly magazine.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries could adopt the euro to combat the decline of the dollar, Badri told the Middle East Economic Digest (MEED), published in London.
"Maybe we can price the oil in the euro. It can be done, but it will take time," he said.
Badri told MEED the change could happen within a decade, the magazine said.
MEED recalled that OPEC is under pressure from its members, who have seen their earnings decline sharply since 2000 due to its use of the dollar. The US currency has fallen 44 percent in value against the euro in that time.
Here's 120 lbs of loose skin.*

Oh, right. November. Gotcha.

Just came back from Persepolis. Interesting watching about the complexities of a culture this country will likely bomb sooner or later.
Lost is pretty good, but I mean, they still aren't totally off the island yet. That kinda pisses me off.

An old Boston wag, I forget who, once said if he had his way he'd only read the Monitor, except he'd never know who died. They don't print obits.

they keep these story arcs alive much longer than they deserve. I say, plan for 2-3 seasons, write a solid and believable ending, move on. No one wants to kill the cash cow, though..
In Washington state 31,094 (96% reporting) Democrats showed up to vote compaired to 11,743 (78% reporting) Republicans.

Wow. We just lost about seventeen people.
...And, I'd have to pick the Kirby panel.

Thanks, Republicans!
I don't know what Josh (creater of Firefly is doing now) I think he is working on a Wonder Woman movie.
He did do a forward to the great graphic novel "Identity Crisis" that talked about the DC universe in a modern way. It was really good. I'm not a big graphic novel comic fan, but I was impressed with this story. It focused on the secret identities of the super heroes and why the use them. A big part of that is to protect their loved ones from danger.
As someone with a secret identity (ohhh, mysterious!) I related to the story, but I think a lot of other people liked it too because it talks about what people will do for love, father son stuff and the fears of everyone.
I'd have to pick the Kirby panel.
Mike Royer's one of the participants... forget who else.
sheets
Yes. Joss Whedon.
SLD Goodale
Isn't he writing x-men?
I dislike when those types analyze to death the "meaning" of the TV show/film. They take away the mystery of it all...
Janeane The Acerbic Goblin
The biggest risk they run is showing off they missed the point entirely.
Persepolis
Great comic!

Astonishing X-men.

Nope. Joss got yanked out of WW due to "creative differences" between him and the studio. So he took his check and beat it.
Has a short-run show coming out on Fox, probably over the late summer, called "Dollhouse".
There's also another Serenity graphic novel (or comic, take your pick) coming out soon.
Beyond that he's probably working on new stuff and probably reading tons of mail that begin, "Bring back Buffy, fucker!"
Along with Royer, Herb Trimpe's going to be on that Kirby panel, which should be a blast. One of the few remaining who worked in the Marvel bullpen when Kirby was still around...
I assume all the Buffy fans are reading the Season Eight comic, right?

He looks like a deflated balloon.
Honestly.

...Mrs Jack K. looked at me with shocked amazement when I told her that Mike Huckleberry was nine months younger than I am...
She wondered if there were such a thing as "make you look older" surgery that he might have undergone. I was very flattered...
uhh, there's a season eight buffy comic? (Leaves, goes to wait in snow at comic store til morning....)

Yeah, you'll like it... Joss has his paws all over it.
And BUFFY #12 is gonna blow your mind. Trust me.

Ouch? C'mon Atrios. Are you saying that being called a senior is bad? Sounds like you're agist. I think in the future we're going to be seeing more and more people being called out for simple remarks like that.
While I am not quite there, social-security wise, it won't be too many more years. Am I suddenly supposed to feel I am something less, because I am a senior?
On the other hand, you would never find me voting for McCain, no matter his age. And Huck? Hahahahahaha.
Still, I hope I misinterpreted what your Ouch statement was all about.
Christian Science Monitor - when I was majoring in Poli Sci in the early 80s we had a prof who required us to subscribe to it during his class. It was then an awesome paper and now even covers medical technology and pharmaceuticals. However, I don't know how it stacks up against, say the WSJ, for news quality today. Obviously the WSJ editorial section is run by a bunch of religious fascists - they even put in columns written by Discovery Institute nimwits.
Can you feel it? HUCKMENTUM!!!
McCain iz OLD!!!
Can you feel it? HUCKMENTUM!!!
I can feeel it baybeeee
frank rich equates everything with a broadway play. he repeated every bullshit statement ever made about gore in last election. rich, worse than dowd.
Frankly, that's Rich!
