The protests today have inspired me, but it also breaks my heart that the wingnuts in this country think that 2 people who love each other shouldn't be allowed to marry.
We spend such a relatively short time on the third rock from the sun, how dare they deny happiness to people?

The trouble is far more fundamental than that. The G.O.P. ran out of steam and ideas well before George W. Bush took office and Tom DeLay ran amok, and it is now more representative of 20th-century South Africa during apartheid than 21st-century America. The proof is in the vanilla pudding. When David Letterman said that the 10 G.O.P. presidential candidates at an early debate looked like “guys waiting to tee off at a restricted country club,” he was the first to correctly call the election.

Gromit, I meant to respond to your question in the last thread, but I got caught up in preparing my dinner.
Sundowners are high winds that come up after the sun sets, usually because the temperature change is pretty significant, especially in coastal areas.
Sundowners frequently accompany some Santa Ana winds (winds from the NE or SE, ie, off the desert in SoCal), and they make the lives of firefighters pure hell.
That's the layperson's version.

BRANDENBURG, Ky. (AP) - A central Kentucky jury has ordered the Ku Klux Klan, a Klan leader and a former follower to pay $2.5 million to a teenager who was beaten by a pair of white supremacists at a county fair in 2006.
At Standish, Maine, a sign inside the Oak Hill General Store read: "Osama Obama Shotgun Pool." Customers could sign up to bet $1 on a date when Obama would be killed. "Stabbing, shooting, roadside bombs, they all count," the sign said. At the bottom of the marker board was written "Let's hope someone wins."

Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars.
Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America.
From California to Maine, police have documented a range of alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack. Insults and taunts have been delivered by adults, college students and second-graders.
There have been "hundreds" of incidents since the election, many more than usual, said Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate crimes.
One was in Snellville, Ga., where Denene Millner said a boy on the school bus told her 9-year-old daughter the day after the election: "I hope Obama gets assassinated." That night, someone trashed her sister-in-law's front lawn, mangled the Obama lawn signs, and left two pizza boxes filled with human feces outside the front door, Millner said.

The Pits: Georgia's GOP Swipes the Peach State
by Greg Palast
for SuicideGirls.com - November 5, 2008
The evil little &*%$'s are doing it again.
Even as they drown in the anger of platoons of pissed-off voters, Republican operatives are swiping ballots with both hands.
Ground zero is Georgia. It's here where the sick little vulture named Saxby Chambliss won the US Senate seat six years ago by calling his Democratic opponent, a guy who'd lost three limbs in Vietnam, a friend of Osama bin Laden.
There's no way in hell that Chambliss can slime his way back into the Senate in the face of over half a million newly registered voters (Black and young - 69% for Obama) without jacking them out of their votes. That's what the Republicans are up to. Right now. As we speak.

From California to Maine, police have documented a range of alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack. Insults and taunts have been delivered by adults, college students and second-graders.

At what age do cats lose the "pre-pounce butt-wiggle"? - . Jeffraham Prestonian
I had a cat live to 22. He was too arthritic to do much pouncing in the last few years, but when he did (e.g., new catnip pillow) he'd still do the butt-wiggle.
re: scat stories: I took Field Zoology in undergrad from a mammologist professor. We nicknamed the labs "Fun with Feces", because that's what we inevitably spent much of our field doing - figuring who left what and what they'd eaten. Kinda cool, actually, if a little weird to non-biologist-types.

Oh, damn. I misfired on the myths are powerful thing.
There was a piece in the WSJ today about this German Islam scholar who has questioned the existence of the Prophet. No contemporary record and so forth.
A guy in opposition says, really (although creditably insisting on the guy's academic freedom, the he should keep his job and not be murdered)
"There is less evidence that Jesus existed than Mohammed."
And I'm like, dude, that's a pretty fucking low bar. I recounted this to a friend, and she said "God's a lower bar. No evidence at all for that one."
A quote from the no Prophet after all guy was "God doesn't write books" so he's also really dubious about the divine authorship of the Koran.

Human scat in middens is hugely important in figuring out how the current social organization around centralized agricultural came to be.
My point, initially, was there's no scat ambiguity. If the vandals burned dogshit, then any pathologist will know this.

And I'm very happy to see lubby waxing apoplectic over gay marriage. his resistance guarantees that it will be the law of the land sooner than later. I mean, Obama is president, after all, showing Lubby's great powers!

Owls are cool, though, because they spout scat at both ends. And it's the front end that is the more interesting.
That one is called 'castings' though, not scat. Most birds of prey regurgitate undigested bones and fur or feathers, I understand, not just owls.
I found a casting once when I was a kid. I would guess it was from an owl or a red-tailed hawk, because it appeared to be mouse fur and bones.
The thing with the killer whales that is interesting though, is people have so worked out genetic markers for the various salmon stocks on the west coast, that they can see if certain stocks are preferred by the orcas, because one of the main theories as to why the Southern Resident population is declining is that they are prey-limited (a fancy biological term for the fact that they go hungry more than they used to).

I'm not the only one: the general consensus among Bond fans is Quantum Of Whatever sucks big donkey dicks. Did Siskel or Ebert ever describe a film thus?

Agreed - I study birds, and the species I study (tropical insectivores) aren't quite so helpful. Because the birds are too hard to follow around in the rainforest, and insect parts break down during digestion, I actually have to stick a tube down their throats and make the poor things throw up in order to figure out what they're eating.

"Pellets" too. It's got to do with (flying) bird body structures not supporting a weighty alimentary canal.
Just trying to be funny.
But it's kinda cool taking apart owl castings. Not much like shit at all. Jawbones. Little vole jawbones. I once gave, as Christmas presents, owl castings to the niece and nephew.

And then there was the swim club that didn't want his youngest daughter Melinda there because she was Jewish.
Groucho said "Well, she's only half Jewish. Can't she go into the water up to her waist?"

Insects are pretty much all protein, and so they don't leave a lot behind. Voles have bones.

On, I am not sure I should even try but here goes: Restrictive laws are illegal, restrictive realities are not.
My little town is a good example. There are six (or more) small cities that make up what is known as Muskegon. Muskegon is the largest in population. Norton Shores is the second largest and then thing deteriorate into North Muskegon, Fruitport, Muskegon Heights, Roosevelt Park and so on.
The area is about thirty per cent African America, (My guess - I believe it is close) but the vast majority of African American people live in either the cities of Muskegon or Muskegon Heights (where I taught)
A house in Muskegon Heights can be purchased for between 15K and 70K. The same is true for Muskegon. If you want to live in Roosevelt Park, North Muskegon, Fruitport, or Norton Shores, the beginning prices are around 100K and go up to more than seven figures.
What this has done is created de facto segregation within the schools. Norton Shores, home of the Mona Shores School District, has about 5% or less African American Students. North Muskegon and the others are similar.
In reality then, money is used as a means of discrimination. I am sure it is true in many other places

kakistocracy: government by the least qualified or least principled.

Rick Wagoner, GM’s chief executive officer, could lose his job as part of any federal rescue package of the company, Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing comments from business experts and lawmakers.

“Management needs to be replaced,” said Robert Crandall, former chairman and CEO of AMR Corp. “The fact is that the management as a whole has had lots of opportunities to fix this. They haven’t.

I used to find dead baby bats in a research parking lot who had fallen off their mothers. They were so desiccated it was ok to my mind to stick them in the back of my mail box in the mail room. Unfortunately, the secretary was re-alphabetizing mail boxes one morning. There was a very loud shriek.

Good call, Tlazolteotl - I'm working with a couple species each of Tyrannidae and Furnariidae.
There was a very loud shriek
Leibniz - I'm not surprised, so many people have such an irrational fear of bats! I was working up in Nicaragua earlier this year and one day, when workers were repairing the hotel roof, a bunch of tiny (and harmless and adorable) bats fell to the floor; several died or were injured. The workers (including several strong and macho men) all freaked out, even stomping their feet. They were blown away when they saw me picking up the bats - they kept asking me why I wasn't afraid!
