I do it, I guess, because I'm in many ways a lot like Steve Simels with Althouse and Tobes.
I have a curious perversion that forces me to peer in because I have to know what's being said - I just have to know how he's spinning it and to try and understand who's buying it and why.
That said, and Gomez and I were talking about this a couple of hours ago, I find Hannity to be the absolute worst, followed closely by Beck, because the two of them actually believe the shit they say, and they are both motivated by blind faith to promote their causes by any means possible.
Rush and Coulter, to me at least, are more like performance artists. They don't have souls - they rile people up for the attention and the money.
Matthews and his ilk are in a different category completely - they believe they're entitled to say what they say because they think that they're part of the Washington media elite.
In my mind, Hannity and Beck are the most dangerous, although all of them prey on weak minds.

I'm sure that the shade of Martin Luther is having second thoughts about this whole 'individual interpretation of the Bible' thing.

The Great Disappointment (1844)
It was on this date, October 22, 1844, that the world did not end. What may appear obvious at this late date, was believed by about 100,000 followers of Baptist preacher William Miller. Miller made meticulous calculations from the Bible
Miller's followers, known as Millerites, gathered in makeshift temples and on hillsides. Many had sold their property and possessions. Miller's publication, Midnight Cry, predicted, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh! Go ye out to meet him!" And further,
Maxwell Pierson Gaddis, an itinerant Methodist preacher from Ohio, observed one rally. "If Christ does not come this day," proclaimed one participant, "I will believe this Bible false!" When midnight came, wrote Gaddis, people grew restless. Some walked out. At about one o'clock one of the leaders rose and said, "I never did fix upon the precise time myself... I believe the most important thing after all is, to be ready. ..."
Now, we came out of England. England has the symbol of the lion. We also -- we came from England. So, therefore, we, by stretch, could say that`s referring to us.
Some of my people came over on the Mayflower. Some came over 150 years later from Germany. Some came over in 1913 from Ukraine. And some were already fucking here.
Oh, and I'm a Leo, so the lion is me.

Holy fuck!
Just clicked over to DKos and at the top of the Top Ten is a diary about the Feds wiretapping a Vermont law firm which is working with Guantanamo prisoners.
MONTPELIER — A law firm that represents clients at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and in Afghanistan is warning its Vermont clients that it believes the federal government has been monitoring its phones and computer system.
In a letter sent to clients of the St. Johnsbury firm of Gensburg, Atwell & Broderick, the three attorneys said they can’t guarantee their communications were confidential.
“Although our investigation is not complete, we are quite confident that it is the United States government that has been doing the phone tapping and computer hacking,” said the letter, dated Oct. 2.
I still remember, by the way, that Hal Lindsey assured us all in the 70's that the USSR was mentioned in the Bible, and "Armageddon" would be fought between the US and the USSR.
Ooops.

This afternoon we went to this exhibit. There was a mention of the Essenes and their settlement at Quram, which they established because . . . they were convinced they were living in the End Times.
If they are tapping some VT firm repping GITMO Ds they are tapping other firms repping GITMO Ds.
I hope they were stupid enough to tap one of the biggies, beause those people could seriously fuck BushCo's shit up.

I really enjoy the 1956 "Ten Commandments" as pure entertainment.
That said, I've always found it amusing how profoundly stupid the Israelites are in the movie. I mean, here they've witnessed all kinds of miracles, including the parting of the Red Sea and the subsequent drowning of thousands of Egyptians, yet they start worshipping a golden calf just because Moses goes away for a couple weeks.

Liberals only support national health care because they drink so much!
A WaPo editorial today rips into Cully Stimson, deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs. “In a repellent interview yesterday with Federal News Radio, Mr. Stimson brought up, unprompted, the number of major U.S. law firms that have helped represent detainees at Guantanamo Bay,” writes the Post.
Stimson rhetorically asked, “Who are the lawyers around this country representing detainees down there?” He said the answer was “shocking” and proceeded to reel off the names of these firms: Pillsbury Winthrop; Jenner & Block; WilmerHale; Covington & Burling; Sutherland Asbill & Brennan; Mayer Brown; Paul Weiss; Weil Gotshal; Pepper Hamilton; Venable; Perkins Coie; Alston & Bird; Hunton & Williams and Fulbright & Jaworski.
Said Stimson: “I think, quite honestly, when corporate CEOs see that those firms are representing the very terrorists who hit their bottom line back in 2001, those CEOs are going to make those law firms choose between representing terrorists or representing reputable firms, and I think that is going to have major play in the next few weeks. And we want to watch that play out.”
Asked who was paying the firms, Mr. Stimson hinted of dark doings. “It’s not clear, is it?” he said. “Some will maintain that they are doing it out of the goodness of their heart, that they’re doing it pro bono, and I suspect they are; others are receiving monies from who knows where, and I’d be curious to have them explain that.”

Should any troll be up for it, though, I would like to see a concise summary of what, exactly, "winning in Iraq" means without using "freedom" or "democracy" unless the troll also defines exactly what those terms mean in this contect.
And then demonstrate conclusively that those are reasonable goals and that the Iraqi populace wants them and that they (not "we") are moving toward those goals.
Otherwise, they are just here to pass gas, which is rude.

Vicki, my letter:
I am offering my two cents that you would make a better president than anyone currently running for the office. I realize that your belief is now that you have a different path for the foreseeable future, but I would like to request that you reconsider. You have demonstrated in so many ways that you are fit to be in the White House and it is clear that many millions of lives would have been changed if you had not been denied your win. The next four years will be a trial for the United States unseen since the Civil War, with climate change, economic disaster, the quagmire of two occupations, the corruption of faith in the Constitution and the judicial system, the infestation of the government with unqualified, unethical party loyalists all looming over our country. It will not be a pleasant time, but you at least see the dangers. I have little faith in the current Democratic contenders and none among the Republicans in the field.
I know that it’s late in the game, but I’m willing to back you with whatever contribution I can make in time or money, as are a couple hundred thousand others who have signed the Draft Gore petition.

Amazing how the troll thinks that we would regard some sign that things in Iraq might finally be stabilizing a bit as bad news. Finally being able to maybe get out without an immediate abject humanitarian disaster after more than 5 years, more than a trillion dollars spent, around 4,000 US soldiers killed, around 40,000 severely wounded, and God alone knows how many Iraqis killed and wounded, HARDLY constitutes a great victory for the Shrub. Especially when you consider that the odds that we will end up with an Iraq much better than the one we started with are still slim. The point of the liberals -- that it was both wrong and a very, very bad idea to invade iraq -- has been made 10 times over. Nobody else has to die to make that point. Really.

Yesterday I heard that the survival rate in Iraq has climbed to near 98% for US troops (nearly 200K wounded???). I tend to doubt the claim (or maybe the parameters of that statistic). Even if the stats are off, when comparing a death rate of nearly 4K with that of Vietnam, and then comparing the total casualties, you're looking at a Vietnam-sized debacle in less time. Only we're sending home maimed and disabled instead of sending them in a box.

Just a drive-by blogwhore before I head out for the evening:
Chicken cutlets with porcini mushrooms/sauce and spaghetti squash with evoo, nutmeg and basil chiffonade.
You wanna go? I'll go:
leg of lamb, brined in garlic, trimmed and then the interior scored with roasted garlic and minced parley. Grilled to perfection. Covered in a lamb-based white wine gravy and served with molasses braised turnips, carrots, and parsnips.

I've never been able to figure any of that "rating" shit out. For example: "4.00/13+". Yo, Kos - math was never my strong subject!
13 ratings, 4.0 average. Means less today now that a recommended comment gets a 4 and otherwise nothing--they got rid of the rankings and troll ratings a while back.

My only advice is to chop the crap out of it to get as much fat off of it as you can, otherwise its too gamy (for me anyway). You can tie the de-fatted steaks into proper "roasts" with butcher's string. Takes at least 1/3 hour to really get the fat out.

Back when I watched Cubs games regularly, and Harry was waving proud in all his drunken glory, the Dodgers had a pitcher named, IIRC, Villanueva.
Harry called him every imaginable combination of V's, L's and N's you can imagine. The Japanese players would have made him fall out of the box.

I often to to Kos to scan the diary list, which is really like newspaper headlines to me. So, diaries from you would likely catch my eye. That's what I'm sayin.
The problem is similar to whoring here, though: what I call 'exocommenting.' People might check out what you've done, but rather than contributing to the discussion over at that community, they return to the place you advertised and either continue their existing discussion, or maybe make a comment about what you whored. So to have the additional work of re-posting at dKos AND getting people to recommend that diary adds significant work for little traffic and comment gain. It also dilutes the brand, such as it is, because now people can just stay in the dKos world and not ever visit my place.
Diaries are a fine mechanism for people who don't want to create their own blog or community, do stuff less frequently, and/or pretty much married to that community. I don't find them to be a match for my personality, nor for what I'm trying to accomplish.

The Sox at the time were owned by Tom Yawkey, a redneck from South Carolina. While he was the owner, the Sox tried out Jackie Robinson, Monty Irvin, and Sam Jetro (I think)and they hit the ball off the left field wall like mad, and Yawkey never signed any of them until he signed Pumpsie Green.
The last time Ted Williams played for the Sox, he warmed up before the game with Pumpsie Green.

Checked on what I posted. I was in error. Here's what happened:
It begins with the tryout. At Fenway Park on April 16, 1945 – two years before the color barrier was broken – Jethroe became one of the first African Americans to formally try out for a major league team. The tryout was the result of lobbying by sportswriter Wendell Smith and Boston city councilman Isadore Muchnik, who had threatened to revoke the Red Sox’ permit to play Sunday games at Fenway Park unless they granted a tryout to black players. The Sox agreed, and Smith chose the three players who would participate: Philadelphia Stars shortstop Marvin Williams, Cleveland Buckeyes outfielder Jethroe, and ex-UCLA running back Jackie Robinson.

And this:
The tryout was supervised by four Hall of Famers – Hugh Duffy, a Red Sox coach; Joe Cronin, the manager; Eddie Collins, the general manager; and Tom Yawkey, the owner.
Immediately following the tryout, all four tried to dodge responsibility for evaluating the players. Yawkey’s public stance was that decisions regarding players needed to be made by his baseball people. Collins, the GM, was unable to attend the tryout “because of a previous engagement.” Cronin, the manager, attended the tryout, “but said that any comment would have to come from Duffy who supervised the workout.” And Duffy, the 78-year-old coach, said the players were “fine fellows” who played “all right,” but he couldn’t make a decision about their ability after only one workout. There would be no second workout, though. The political requirements had been satisfied, and the three players were left exactly where they had started: with no reasonable hope of ever playing major league baseball.
United Press International, in its report on the tryout, said Jethroe and Williams “seemed tense and both their hitting and fielding suffered.” Robinson, however, “slammed several balls off the left-field wall.” In later years, though, Jethroe remembered it differently. “We had a good tryout,” he told me over the phone last year. “We hit the ball, went to the outfield and worked out. But they didn’t tell me nothing. I never heard from them again. It was a sham.” Sham or not, it was the first and last appearance at Fenway Park for all three players. In 1945, decimated by war, the American League would employ one-armed players and teenagers, but no African Americans.

It is a sad commentary on my absolute lack of both rhythm and coordination that the cockatoo is a far superior dancer than I shall ever hope to be!
The headbanging at the end? Full. Of. Win!

One of the favorite winger lines is to bitch about how emancipation was over 100 years ago and the negroes need to get over it.
I really can't stand wingers.

Reminds me of the time I fucked a chick named "Nixon".

Rumor has it, that it took years for Nixon to get it down pat.

Frozen washrag to chew on will help. Either that, or one of Arthur's rawhide chewy thingies, but plain, not flavored.

In 1945, decimated by war, the American League would employ one-armed players and teenagers, but no African Americans.
And I guess, to a lesser degree, women.
These stories make me so damn angry, mostly because the progress, such as it is, leaves a lot to be desired to this day.
Ignorance is not bliss.

If it's not the one he rode in Great Escape, I'm just not impressed...
I'll check but I'm pretty sure.
Would he give me a ride?

"Attack of the Crab Monsters"
One of my all-time favorite B movies. Supposedly in one of the scenes in the cave, you can see the feet of the guy operating the crab monster sticking out under the costume.

Vicki,
I heard one of the most stupid radio reports ever from CBS News and some Dr. It seems that studies have shown that skinny people hanging around with people who are overweight have a tendency to gain weight so the lady recommended shunning anyone not thin.
(I guess if you are overweight you must now be friendless too)

And Revelation referred to Revolution by John Lennon who was in the Beatles who were more popular than God who Jethro Tull said was created in man's image.
John Lennon sang on Revolution. John Lennon was in A Hard Day's Night (1964) with Phil Collins. Phil Collins was in Balto (1995) with Kevin Bacon.

Best one I caught was in some B-grade pirate movie. In plain sight, in a beach scene, there's a cruise liner offshore in the background.

"Back when I watched Cubs games regularly, and Harry was waving proud in all his drunken glory, the Dodgers had a pitcher named, IIRC, Villanueva.
Harry called him every imaginable combination of V's, L's and N's you can imagine."
The Cubs had a catcher named Hector Villanueva whose name Harry butchered. The Dodgers had a pitcher named Fernando Valenzuela. Harry butchered his name as well.

Complete BS.
Maybe the writers of the Bible didn't know about America. Maybe they only knew of the powers at the time and couldn't see into the future.
That seems more logical to me.
