4Legs, Edwards isn't dropping out, is he?
He's the best candidate thus far, in my not very humble opinion.
sallyh!
What ya say, babe? Howzitgoin?
If you can say 'Sully's surely somewhat solipsistic' three times running, you aren't drinking even virtually...

4Legs, Edwards isn't dropping out, is he?
He's the best candidate thus far, in my not very humble opinion.
No, of course he isn't dropping out- he's even or even a little ahead in Iowa.
I like him a lot.
ProfWombat, how about a nice escape to a good jazz club, some good wine, some needed relaxation?
If there's not enough seating, I'll take your lap...
Sallyh: I saved Maddie some new cat wrasslin', btw.

Anyhoo, wassup with everybody?
i bet you tom freidman could come up with a good analogy for this phenomenon.
If fellow Democrat John Edwards drops out in the early stages, his 10% could go to Obama.
Yeah, but Edwards is stronger'n'dirt in Iowa, Nevada and South Carolina.
The days in which African-American politics were defined by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, or, even worse, Louis Farrakhan, are over.
African-American politics defined by Louis Farrakhan, what days would those be?

What about the article is clueless and betrays an ignorance of american politics?
'The days in which African-American politics were defined by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, or, even worse, Louis Farrakhan, are over.'
Note the goddamned passive voice, please. Just how did these gentlemen come to represent all of black politics in this country? Could, you know, the way it was reported in the media have had something to do with it? That, and that others were often marginalized, jailed or killed?
4Legs, does extreme exhaustion count?
Sure. That's me too.
By David Talbot
Oct. 20, 2001 | I[...] Since the horrors of Sept. 11, however, Sullivan's voice has become a shriek, hitting an ear-piercing decibel that, whether intended or not, drives out the possibility of rational discussion.
In recent weeks, Sullivan has taken it upon himself to evaluate whether his fellow writers and commentators are sufficiently patriotic. He broods darkly -- in the pages of his native British press, on his Web site and on the Op-Ed pages of the Wall Street Journal -- that America harbors nests of traitors, or in his words "decadent left enclaves on the coasts [that] may well mount a fifth column." And like all Manichaean guardians of national security, from the days of the Alien and Sedition Acts to those of Joseph McCarthy, Sullivan has turned his pumped-up and disproportionate rhetoric toward rooting out these disloyal Americans in his midst.
Those words should be hung around his neck for the rest of his life.
fourlegsrgood:
I haven't been paying too close attention, but I think Bonnie Franklin had an affair with Eve Plum during the invention of the rock n' roll in the Pacific Theater
At this point I'm all out for Edwards, unless Gore steps in.
In a perfect world Kucinich would get my vote.
4Legs, I'd vacuum (and I desperately need to), but I'd have to work my way around everyone.
This isn't a large house, and four people and five animals make it very, very crowded.
So I said, screw it.
Sullivan makes me want to send money I don't have to the Edwards campaign
So the differene between the opening of this column abd O'Lielly's "aren't the nigras civilized?" bullshit is exactly what???
Marc Bolan had something there with his Glammy Bang A Gong thing.
fourlegsrgood:
I haven't been paying too close attention, but I think Bonnie Franklin had an affair with Eve Plum during the invention of the rock n' roll in the Pacific Theater
Ah. Good to know.
BTW, I love my MacBook Pro as much as you said that I would.
(sound of chairs being hastily removed from venue)
Yes, ma'am...
Sullivan is on my enemies list for that misogynistic piece he wrote a long time ago. The fifth column stuff only raised him a notch on that list. He's an opportunistic twit.

sully's words that you are referring to, along with most of the rest of them, will probably accomplish that.

Now, fair is fair. I wrote about exactly this same thing. (The words were different but the sentiment was precisely the same.) EVERYONE ganged up on me for being some sort of bad person.

"Uncle Blodge!
Got the boys with you this weekend?"
as always. Just got em to bed.
"If not, would you come over and take care of my family?"
my standard of care starts with making sure there are clean clothes and some food - and ends with hoping they can find a clean dish. you don't want me in charge I am known to yell shaddup goddamit and mean it.

A black politician giving a boring speech on tax policy signals a sea change in american politics.
American non-blog media are going to be bored by any poitician giving a tax policy speech because the media have already decided what the story is going to be: Republicans will let you keep your money, Democrats will raise taxes and pick your pocket.
You know, the fact that MoveOn.org has raised $1.5 million in the past few days really warms the cockles of my cold, black heart.
Suck it, rethugs.
fourlegsgood,
But you remember it? I was called all sorts of names because I did not directly support Dennis. In a perfect world I would vote for Kucinich, but this is not a perfect world. I really wish that Gore would run. HE is what this country needs. Indeed, he may be the only legitimate hope we have of rectifying things in the easiest way for his leadership and knowledge could help immensely. (Not the only way, the easiest way - but it was still be devilishly difficult)
John Edwards has my support, as I stated before, because of the quality and strength of those who oppose him. He is making a lot of powerful interests damned nervous: that works for me. Hillary, the triangulator, makes NO ONE in the power broking business nervous: she is one of them.
Plum P already askd if the Tony Hawk Helmet Cam means more kitteh videos. I think yes. It's easier to rig for the task than the Canon, and it's got sound, so... why not?

Obama is the only candidate that detects america's war weariness, for or against, and weariness with politics in general. Obama is betting that america would rather not hear about the war.

Great, another diaper change.

abyssgazer,
Compare their criticisms of her with those of their criticisms of Edwards. With Edwards they are vicious. He scares them and that is reason enough for supporting him.
Listen, Edwards is a politician and politicians are changeable. That is what they do (hopefully: when they are pig-headed and intractable, they become nincompoops like Bush) But I believe Edwards has core beliefs that he adheres to. He will change tactics but in the end there are beliefs that he will not change.
I do not believe that the rest of these people, Republicans and Democrats, have this. Maybe I am misunderstanding what they are saying, but I don't believe so.
Fuck that. I AM the Keebler Elf!
Yay!!! Cookies!
"Great, another diaper change."
people used to tell me I'd really know what it was like when I passed through the "easy" stage of babies. Bullshit. I got 2 teens and I'll take three over a baby - they are a LOT of work!!
yeah they are cute and can be fun but damn - I still remember me and the ex once got the kids to bed at 8 and I said so what should we do? she said would you be offended if i said I wanted to go to sleep?
I was hoping she'd say that.
So has Deacon Blues met Kid Charlemagne?
Isn't there a Dr. Wu floating about, too?
Yay!!! Cookies!

Babies didn't bother me. So you change diapers--takes about five minutes. Admittedly, I'm used to being up at night, and can go back to sleep easily. But there's nothing in the world like the feeling of holding a sleeping, utterly relaxed baby.
Teenagers can be wonderful, but they sometimes exile you from their lives for months at a time; you keep putting stuff on the table, hoping some of it gets picked up once in a while...
Okay, fuck the beer run. I have one beer left, and a bag of goodies. I'll bust into the goodies.
I slept almost all day. Go figure.

Somehow the logic of that one always escapes them.

"In my opinion the issue is not that people are stupid but that they are fed almost nothing but propaganda."
Maybe - but you'd think after 30 years of it they'd kind of maybe question that basic assumption - just a little?
Even when repug tax cuts on the federal level are matched by rises in state and local taxes, they don't question.
Even when services are cut, they don't question.
I admire your willingness to think well of your fellow humans but the level of intelligence displayed here by people who line up and swallow is not high.

Jeffraham, there are no such thing as purchased cookies in my house, except for Teddy Grahams. NTodd ate all those last night.
"sea bugs"= crabs, lobsters?
Even when services are cut, they don't question.
There was a study about the desire to cut taxes sometime in the 1990s, in which the researchers actually tried to determine if the people who want taxes cut understand that it means cuts in services and if that is what they are choosing, rather than just some idea of paying less for same benefits. Turned out that the people in the study indeed wanted to pay less even if that meant bad roads and so on.
Deacon, and that's news?
"you have to go to bed because Gramma's tired."

I think so, too. Interestingly, when the Bush revolution caused the shit to hit the state budgets and lots of important services were cut suddenly people were willing to pay more.

The little lefty here is 12 (going on 9), but with traces of teenage attitude around the edges. Still, it's fun seeing him grow and trying to figure out what the matured boy will be like as a man.
I sure love that little guy.
Teens differ in how they go through the transition towards independence. My oldest sister decided that she was a lodger in the family home, ate all her meals in her room and caused large bills in the local stores by buying better food for herself on my mother's accounts. It was hard to take.
Oddly, she is a lovely woman now.

The Bush Administration has been collecting detailed records on the travel habits of Americans headed overseas, whether you fly, drive or take cruises abroad -- not simply your method of transit but the personal items you carry with you and the people you stay with, according to documents and statements obtained by the Washington Post.
They even keep sometimes keep track of what books you read. For as long as 15 years. ...
"The Automated Targeting System has been used to screen passengers since the mid-1990s, but the collection of data for it has been greatly expanded and automated since 2002, according to former DHS officials," the Post said.
"The federal government is trying to build a surveillance society," said John Gilmore, a civil liberties activist in San Francisco whose records were requested and then first revealed in Wired News. The government, he said, "may be doing it with the best or worst of intentions. . . . But the job of building a surveillance database and populating it with information about us is happening largely without our awareness and without our consent." ...
"I flatly reject the premise that the department is interested in what travelers are reading," DHS spokesman Russ Knocke told the paper. "We are completely uninterested in the latest Tom Clancy novel that the traveler may be reading."
According to the Post, "The DHS database generally includes 'passenger name record' (PNR) information, as well as notes taken during secondary screenings of travelers. PNR data -- often provided to airlines and other companies when reservations are made -- routinely include names, addresses and credit-card information, as well as telephone and e-mail contact details, itineraries, hotel and rental car reservations, and even the type of bed requested in a hotel."

Sully is an opportunistic hack. A weather vane if you will. I admit that he is a gifted writer and upon occasion makes a cogent point or two. His ability to tap into the zeitgeist of whichever side he's taken on any issue is impressive. It's Sully's dishonesty that has earned him my ire. He can't be trusted.
While he has publicly claimed repentance, Sully sinned far too long in the service of the neo-cons for me to trust him. His conversion has made him a hot commodity -- perceived to be even more "relevant" than previous. We all collectively gag when Chris Matthews criticizes the Right yet Sully gets a free pass. I chalk it up to consistency of message. Yet I suspect that under the right circumstances he'd flip-flop his way back to the dark side.
Sully has frequently misrepresented himself as an American citizen. Not a small matter when you consider the column inches he has dedicated to whomever he has purported to have "voted" for in our elections. Perhaps this sordid truth is why Sully still doesn't understand our politics.

There are those who eat spiders, and think they're OK. Common in Cambodia, it seems. Not me, though:
So what does spider taste like? Well, you might expect it to be crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle and that's not a bad start. The legs are pleasantly crunchy and have little flesh in them. Then you get to the head and body which have a delicate white meat inside, rather like a cross between chicken and cod. These bits are quite moreish and the only downside is that, after munching a few, you can develop little spider fur balls in your throat.

Question to group: What can the collective say about people who, once they move in with each other, don't seem happy anymore?
No general answer to this one, because it depends on the case. It could be a sign that the thing isn't working. Or it could be a natural stage in learning to live with someone else. There's always some times in a relationship when the love doesn't flow so strongly.
If you know some third person who is wise talking about the stuff with him or her could help.
this feeling is negative. the ruling class in our society had embraced the abyss and is falling through it. we will spend the rest of our lives living the consequences. well, maybe not our whole lives.
Question to group: What can the collective say about people who, once they move in with each other, don't seem happy anymore?
Some people shouldn't live together.
Some people (like me) shouldn't ever live with anyone.
My advice if you want to rectify the situation is move out before you wreck the relationship.
JP: Sweet butter is the same as butter, except it doesn't have any salt added. The difference is amazing.

It could be that plain-ol' roommate issues (different ideas about chores, different ideas about the thermostat) could be getting in the way of the love.
It could also be different expectations about what it means for the relationship.

My impression is that lots of people who have partner trouble reject professional counsel. I'm not sure why, but there's maybe something about owning your grievances and not wanting them opened up for analysis. Or fear of being found at fault?
"What can the collective say about people who, once they move in with each other, don't seem happy anymore?"
"happy" needs all to totally unpack ... and then see what you gots ...

I highly recommend it.
It's not uncommon for someone to take the suggestion of counselling as equivalent to, 'it'll help you see the error of your ways'. Counselling usually winds up recommending compromises of some sort from both parties; quite right pointing out she's probably unwilling to do so...

question: do you love her?
fokowi at lake cabin
Ah. Helluva good question, and quite telling, perhaps.
If, by meaning the longing I had with a couple of women who couldn't/wouldn't reciprocate in my past, then the answer is no.
If, by meaning that I feel that I feel that I've met my "match" - the answer is, well, kinda sorta.
Truth is, I came into the past three years in guarded way (anniv of first date on Monday). Got burned by a med student that totally turned me on, with intellect, conversation, great dancing, and red hair. But never any sex.
YMMV, but for me there are the non-negotiables and the rest which can be negotiated. I've learned the first group slowly and if I try to give up on them I end up sad and depressed. But almost everything else is something I can compromise on or even relinquish.
So if a disagreement is about a non-negotiable for me then the relationship cannot work.
My kittehs are most excellent.
Before I went out earlier, Ripley hung out in the bathroom with me, just purring and purring.

One other trigger - I'm going slow in moving everything out of my last place - she sees it as a drag on my income (and it is).
But...I let her spend 6 hours there last month to "help me move" - and found a bunch of stuff in the garbage that shouldn't have been pitched (including cards/contact info for musicians I have interviewed). I feel I've been patient with her, but that she just wants a much simpler life...Almost an unthinking one ("get off that computer, it's making you depressed!")
I really can't imagine dating a woman without kids, at my age. I mean, most of the women without kids are either way too young, or in some way damaged as to make them not my type.

my old kitty Orion used to sit outside the shower curtain while I was in there, yelling and hollering and meowing up a storm. Finally I figured he was worried -- he couldn't see me, and there was this noise of rushing water, something must be wrong -- so I got a transparent shower curtain. Peace prevailed.

Two groups that normally support the Bush administration — white evangelical voters and conservatives — remained largely behind its war strategy.
Just over half of the white evangelicals who attend church at least weekly said the war was the right decision and the extra troops were helping, while about four in 10 said the war is a success — well more than Catholics and Protestants measured in the survey.
Slight majorities of conservatives saw success in Iraq, a troop increase that is working and a war that was the right choice, a third of them or more answered each question negatively.

Many women your age don't have children by choice. Doesn't mean they're damaged.
Mrs. Blues and I did a protracted battle with infertility early on in our marriage. While a hardship, it gave us a common goal to work towards, together, which eventually gave us the Little Lefty (and -- unfortunately -- four miscarriages).
4Legs, well, you're supposed to lick yourself clean, like any normal cat!
I've been fucked over by women who believed love is something that happens to you vs something that you do.
Sorry if that sounds simplistic.
So Roadmaster, please feel free to tell me to feck off -- but do I have this right? You haven't completely moved in with her (stuff at your old place), and you're already wanting to live somewhere else (closer to work)?
Is the place you haven't yet moved completely into her place, or a new place you're both moving into?
Oh, this will help.

Former NBA coach and commentator Dick Versace is looking for a new job: congressman.
The 67-year-old Versace, a Democrat, said Thursday that he will bid for the 18th Congressional District seat in central Illinois. Incumbent Republican Ray LaHood announced in July he will retire when his term runs out in 2009.

Almost all of Mrs d and my friends do not have children. Most in their forties. They're nice kind people who often take care if relatives' offspring. I don't feel that we or they are damaged.

Deacon, sounds like the Little Lefty is the joy of your lives.
I recently hooked up with a woman I hadn't seen since we were 15 and it's been surprisingly brutal on my emotional equilibrium.
There is a life of great sorrows and joys (hers) intersecting with my own vastly less experiential existence.
Excepting, of course, most of 1989, which was Learyesque in its breadth and depth of lunacy.
Aww, Mr. French. And how much do you bench-press?
i dont understand why penn st cant beat michigan.
Roadmaster, I've not weighed in on the discussion because of too little knowledge and too many bad moves of my own, but good luck.
The dogburner is just as lonely as the rest of us, the difference being we don't feel compelled to set dogs afire.

So Roadmaster, please feel free to tell me to feck off as well - but one of the ways I have survived going into neighborhoods that scare people (that's where i usually teach) is that when my little voice says something is wrong - I listen.
if your little voice says something is not right you might wanna listen.
Here, you don't bench press. Bench presses you.
Nodding off; g'night, all
Which branch of the military do you wankers think I should sign up with?
strawhat, that is an American thing, that fear of intelligent women, or at least I never heard about it in Europe.
Strawhat et al -
Here's the short of it: I got lotza stuff. Much of it is records, but also vintage clothing, furniture, and other stuff.
We agreed on a spot across from my old place, which is close to her usual teaching spots.
Her stuff is in the living room, dining room, and 1 bedroom. I have another bedroom for my circa-1954 bedroom setup, and a small side room for the records.
i seek out intelligent women because it is only they who are susceptible to my wily word charms.
Right you are Sallyh. Took a while for the doc's to work it all out. We had three ART conceptions that failed. Excruciating experience for us, but I must say more so for Mrs B
if your little voice says something is not right you might wanna listen.
I've learned to trust my gut, too.

I tend to not be interested in what passes for horror movies now. The format is pretty rigid and falls more into a slasher genre IMO. Boring. Movies like "The Sixth Sense" are a bit different, they don't really attempt to scare you, they end up more a supernatural mystery. Those I find interesting.
The last movies that left me creeped out in the horror movie mode were the Japanese versions of the Ring and Dark Water. There was finesse there that lacks in the American films now.

Ken Burns Effect
In his documentaries, Burns often gives life to still photographs by slowly zooming in on subjects of interest and panning from one subject to another. For example, in a photograph of a baseball team, he might slowly pan across the faces of the players and come to rest on the player the narrator is discussing.
The effect can be used as a transition between clips as well. For example, to segue from one person in the story to another, he might open a clip with a close-up of one person in a photo, then zoom out so that another person in the photo becomes visible. This is especially practicable when covering older subjects where there is little or no available film. The zooming and panning across photographs gives the feeling of motion, and keeps the viewer visually entertained.
This technique has become a staple of documentaries, slide shows, presentations, and screen savers. In film editing, non-linear editing systems such as iMovie and iPhoto often include an effect or transition called Ken Burns Effect, with which a still image may be incorporated into a film using this kind of slow pan and zoom. It is also seen in screensavers that slowly pan and zoom through a slide show of digital photographs on a computer's hard disk. It is interesting to note that Ken Burns does not receive monetary compensation for the use of this technique, although he has an agreement with Apple to provide computers for children.

Frank Rich today:
It would be unfair to say that the G.O.P. is devoid of sensitivity to all minorities. True, Peter King, the Long Island congressman, said last week that America has "too many mosques," but he was balanced by Mitt Romney, who sent out a press release wishing "the Jewish people" a hearty "L'Shanah Tovah" for the New Year. And let no one fault the Republican presidential field for not looking like America: Alan Keyes is back!
But the last minority with at least a modicum of influence in the party's power structure seems to be closeted gay men. As an alternative to cruising men's rooms, the least they could do is use their clout to stay the manifestly unjust execution of Larry Craig.

Remember Major Schmidt?
The guy that dropped those bombs on the Canadians? He's still whining, but a judge threw his lawsuit out.
If 72 Senators voted to condemn Moveon.org for the "Gen. Betrayus ad", shouldn't they now condemn Rush Limbaugh for calling Chuck Hagel "Sen. Betrayus"? Hell, the resolution's already drafted. Cut 'n paste the name changes and your done!

And then go have a lovely day.
