Imagine living in a tourist town with a college. Just when the tourists leave, the kiddies arrive.
Oxford in the summer is wretched. The colleges fill up with Americans on exchange classes -- which isn't too bad; the ancillary places fill up with teenagers from the continent; the city centre fills up with tourists. You end up coming up with competitions among yourselves, like seeing if you can get people to believe that the Martyr's Memorial is the spire of the city's underground cathedral.
(Auntie GWPDA will know this gag.)
September is generally blissful if you're a graduate: the place quietens down, the undergrads aren't back yet, and the libraries are peaceful and cool and pleasant.

After all, she has god on her side.
This reminds me very much of how JD Hayworth was brought down. So confident in his re-electibility, so confident in his own perceived salvation, he gave a speech at Temple Beth-El (the largest, most influential synagogue in town) where he proclaimed that his 'salvation' made him one of the Chosen People unlike the members of the audience.
Give me a break!

Usually, when I call someone a "bitch," it's because they've exhibited what I consider "bitchy" behavior, i.e., being condescending, unnecessarily nasty, etc. This term does not exclusively apply to women.

On the other hand, when a vice president takes over for a president, the nation is necessarily undergoing a crisis, because the death (or resignation) of a president is perhaps as traumatic an event as can reasonably be imagined (in the "best" case resulting from a slowly-developing illness, and the worst, an attack by terrorists or foreign adversaries).
From Lincoln though Clinton, Americans have frequently been willing to gamble on a relatively inexperienced President, exchanging some assurances of near-term readiness for longer-term upside (what might be described as "vision"). But the optimal skill set for a vice president is somewhat different. "Vision" hardly matters; a vice president taking over for a president will not get to name his own cabinet, and will initially at least be left to execute upon somebody else's agenda. Instead, the readiness component is rendered more important.
I suspect most Americans grasp this on a gut level, even if they aren't quite able to articulate it. Which is why, to my gut instinct, I think Americans can feel sympathy for Sarah Palin, can believe she's the sort of person they'd want to have a beer with -- and still find her a detriment to McCain's case for the White House.

I did not say this. I simply said that it doesn't apply solely to men. Have we not, on occasion, on this very blog, applied the term to, say, Lindsey Graham, Joe Lieberman, John McCain, etc? I have also used it to refer to myself, when appropriate. Hey, some women are actually bitches, and I really don't have a problem using the term when it's appropriate. Conflating "bitch" with "nigger," however, is pretty farfetched.

I may have gone too far when I told him that he was no democrat.

"Bitch" is generally not gender neutral, unless you're Elton John. He's doing it in a pretty specfic way, too, that has gender issue implications.
The point is, I use it for specific things. Your milage may vary. I recall a time when talking to a subordinate about a female officer who he complained was being "a bitch" about something. I informed him that sometimes I had to be "a bastard" about things, too, and she was doing her duty as she saw it. "Bitch" and "bastard" in that context being labels for the same thing: "someone who is very disagreeable about something" with specific words to fit the gender of the person being disagreeable. Like it or not, your sexual/urinary plumbing is a key component of self, and identity, and this carries over to other aspects of life as well.
Long and short is, I apologize for offending some, but know that my intent is to describe a disagreeable person in a way that acknowledges who they are, to include their gender. This isn't a pronouncement on others of their gender, but strictly on the idividual.
You may now attack me without mercy as is customary here at Eschaton comment land.

Toby Petzold
McCains Palin gamble benefits from his age and health problems. Its appeal is based on the fact that her voters will be hoping for him to kick the bucket as soon as theyre sworn in. His age and health are some of the most obvious issues in his candidacy, there is no way that his campaign couldnt have realized the part theyd play in this choice and its appeal to voters who werent enthusiastic supporters of McCain.
The good chance that hell die in office is an intrinsic part of the appeal to the Republican far-right who are the real target audience of the Palin selection. That makes his age and health a far greater issue than it was in the beginning. The attempts to put those topics off-limit by his campaign and the media are part of an attempt to put the most radically right-wing person in the presidency since the 19th century.
This is the most cynical presidential campaign in our history. One whose chances are enhanced by the probability of the candidate dying in office.

I've heard Yurpeens (especially Brits) use Cow as a unisex term, and mean it more like "stupid prick" than the more bovine meaning it seems to have in the States.
Dunno about that. I was told as a child that 'cow' had connotations of 'prostitute', and that it wasn't nice.
One curious thing: anyone exposed to Derek and Clive may pick up a tendency to use the c-word, but never towards a woman. The only time I've heard it, in Britain, used towards a woman is by a woman. That brings up other sexist issues, of course.
(John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman were noting that since Cindy McCain said her husband always speaks the truth, that can only mean...)
My standard one these days is 'stupid fucking arsehole', which has a lovely cadence to it. Or 'stupid fucking shitebrained fuckheaded arsehole'. which, I hope you'll agree, is completely gender-neutral.

Shocking, I tell you, shocking!
-----
Key Alaska allies of John McCain are trying to derail a politically charged investigation into Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of her public safety commissioner in order to prevent a so-called "October surprise" that would produce embarrassing information about the vice presidential candidate on the eve of the election.
In a move endorsed by the McCain campaign Friday, John Coghill, the GOP chairman of the state House Rules Committee, wrote a letter seeking a meeting of Alaska's bipartisan Legislative Council in order to remove the Democratic state senator in charge of the so-called "troopergate" investigation.

I'm sure McCain knows nothing of this. He is such a man of Honor and a POW!

As someone who grew up in cow country, let me just say that I have standards.
Only the prettiest heifers for me.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Sept. 3) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a "task that is from God."
*more like a task from George Bush, who lied about WMDs in the first place.......but Sarah pins this on "God".*

Interesting. I never interpreted it that way.
It just goes to show that you can be conveying ideas with words that others don't receive.
Language is a tricky thing, even when two parties are both speaking the same one.
Read it and giggle (or weep, whichever you like).

What is it about "Die Hard" that makes it fun to watch no matter how many times you've seen it?

Oh, thank you Hecate.
Yeah, it's been a real stressful day at work worrying about it, but I ducked back home twice and the patio drained brilliantly.
I can't imagine what it would have been like today if that work hadn't been done.

"intimidation at the RNC... supposedly someone arrested for "falling" off their bike."
Some most excellent PR, Rethugs. We have long memories...

last June, the Republican vice presidential candidate also urged ministry students to pray for a plan to build a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in the state, calling it "God's will.">>
So its not just about her national pride where soldiers are concerned, it also seems that she wants God to become involved in building her pipelines as well?
Sorry, this dame pulls "God" out of her purse like He was an accessory to her outfit.

Germany's most northern State is half-named for a cow -- or vice versa.

Holstein?
I think it might be the other way around.

Look, all in all, not everyone gets doctoring. Frankly, in most cases trust to modern science. Otherwise shut the fuck-up.
