I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Hi.
Good evening!
These are the bad times we always worried about.
And they're coming to an end.
I called sheets
I truly hope so, Gomez
thanks, E. more wieldy.
echidne is teh sexy.
I missed it by that much!
"echidne is teh sexy."
Part of teh appeal is teh British accent.
I note that Obama didn't open up a big lead until Gore endorsed him.
Also teh brains.

ina - sounds like it's built in. have you found any finish nail heads that have been puttied over? the nails may need to be cut to get it out.
baba durag - borg free '08 | 06.21.08 - 10:01 pm |
I haven't found any yet, but I think they're there. I think I could deal with them. The problem that I realized today is getting to where it's attached to the floor. And getting it off of there... I think I may end up calling the woman I bought the house from and asking her for the name of the guy who put it in.
That is after I explore and mess around some more and probably brake something tomorrow...

Have I mentioned my neighbor whose second car is a horsie?
I learned today that the little town of Bristol, VT has a trash pick up service that uses a horse drawn wagon in the downtown neighborhoods, and deposits the trash in a centrally located truck for the run to the landfill.
Keeps the neighborhoods quiet, and the truck doesn't have to run all day.
These are the bad times we always worried about.
And they're coming to an end.
I would like to think so, but I bet Elias finds his way up here anyway....
Philly Boy is a honey-tongued flirt, too.

Prove Obama does.

ElBaradei: Iran strike could ignite region
I dont know why El Baradei depicts his crap show each sunday. And I cant discern a proper reason why Israel should care for it. Israel has been attacked three times. It can be attacked anew without any sign of a warning. The only thing I can sincerely discern is that Mr El Baradei is obviously in the position to make such statements. Now hes undoubtfully the head of the international atomic energy association and not the head of the Iranian postal service.

that's very nice of you to ask. i don't think i have a good one. let me check. if not, i could take one tomorrow, if you think you could give me some advice.
it's got drawers across the bottom, then adjustable shelves above that, then a weird box shelf at the top. to the right of all of that was a closet, that I was able to mostly dismantle today, it was just screwed into the wall.
under the drawers is a something like a trim board, and my floor is so uneven that it was cut to fit...

Prove he's going to pull out of Iraq and dismantle all bases.
Prove he's not going to escalate the Aghan war.
Prove he's going to reduce funding Israel...
Geraldo on Fox News interviewing the Mayor of Gloucester Massachussetts over the phone from his home. The Mayor says we don't really know why these high school girls all agreed to get pregnant but it might very well be the influence of movies such as Juno and Knocked Up or the pregnancy of Britney Spears sister.
There's no evidence Obama will put forth any effort to dismantle the national security/military state in the most minimal way...
When will Obama explain his failure to walk on water?
3 scrambled eggs
2 dollops of skyline chili
two tortillas
ohio burritos
big hit.
under the drawers is a something like a trim board, and my floor is so uneven that it was cut to fit...
that's what I want to see. likely you'll need to pry that out (probably destroying it in the process). there are probably two boards nailed into the floor underneath that the cabinet is fastened to.
yeah, send one to baba.durag at gmail. I'll see what I can tell.
Prove he's going to pull out of Iraq and dismantle all bases.
Prove he's not going to escalate the Aghan war.
Prove he's going to reduce funding Israel...
Can't prove a negative. I'm looking for statements that prove he will.
And then maybe you can tell us what you're going to do about it. Plant some white flags, Mr Purity?
baba durag-- you can see the bottom behind here (behind the runny nosed kid...)
Bo, thanks for the BBC link in the last thread. I'd heard part of that story about the reporter covering his own murders earlier today on World Service and meant to look it up.
The Mayor says we don't really know why these high school girls all agreed to get pregnant but it might very well be the influence of movies such as Juno and Knocked Up or the pregnancy of Britney Spears sister.
I suspect the pernicious influence of teenage male spermatozoa.
kagan in WAPO:
"Actually, Obama wants to increase defense spending. He wants to add 65,000 troops to the Army and recruit 27,000 more Marines. Why? To fight terrorism."

Pauk Anka's "She's Havin my Baby"
We heard about this. Is there a source for the pregnancy pact beyond this one school official? Isn't it possible that since Gloucester is a mess, it has poor girls getting pregnant?
Let's break military spending into its component parts. McCain supports billions more of unsupervised dollars for Halliburton. Obama supports billions of dollars for medical care and benefits for veterans and McCain opposes it. Either will lead to an increased military budget. They are, however, not morally equivalent.
When it comes to construction, I just point! Using my walking stick!
Can anbody explain to me why these refuke t-puke fucktards are slumping next to Iran for 5 years and finally its finally Israel that is obviously provoking a nuclear holocaust?
Sadly, half the current Democratic Party in Congress would have been Goopers in 1973.
peterboy | 06.21.08 - 1:50 pm | #
not really. James Eastland was a Democrat in 1972. Lowell Weicker was, in theory, a Republican.
One way to determine whether Obama has any "progressive" intentions is to examine who he hires and surrounds himself with. His foreign policy advisors make statements consistent with staying in Iraq and escalating Afghan. His economic advisors support neolib economics even to the point of praising walmart, etc.
shut up Elias.
i used to not understand why you were called you a troll.
but it really doesn't matter, beating a dead horse is boring.
kagan in WAPO:
"Actually, Obama wants to increase defense spending. He wants to add 65,000 troops to the Army and recruit 27,000 more Marines. Why? To fight terrorism."
Statements from Obama?
What's that Pink? Speak louder into your megaphone. The Dems will listen to you if you just speak louder.
In the meantime, I'll work bottom up...

Just make sure to point with the right arm, and you'll be all healed up in no time!
His foreign policy advisors make statements consistent with staying in Iraq
that's because we aren't leaving iraq. ever.
ina - check that. you've got a two piece cabinet. the upper part is separate from the lower part. you'll need to unfasten the upper from the lower, then pull it off. the lower will be fastened into the wall around the back edge of the top, (and into the floor too).
close ups would still help.
I bet Jimi Hendrix was the best upside down Strat player ever to come out of the 101st Airborne Division.
When will Obama explain his failure to walk on water?

Not walking on water?
That's the final straw
I'm voting for Nader
What's that Pink? Speak louder into your megaphone. The Dems will listen to you if you just speak louder.
So you're not willing to join us in the streets, in the halls of Congress, in war tax resistance. Yet you'll pretend YOU'RE superior, whilst casting aspersion on us. Gotcha. True colors.
that's because we aren't leaving iraq. ever.
well sorry all i can see is that there is obviously tension in the region that could lead to a new war. and as far as I get it the Iraq war isnt totally free of being a reason for it.
here's a fun fact from Wikipedia, James Eastland, truly a nasty evil segregationist pig, was succeeded as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee by Ted Kennedy.
That's almost on the level of Barbara Boxer taking over Environment from Inhofe.
ina - check that. you've got a two piece cabinet.
that was my first thought
Pregnancy pact? I blame abstinence only education.
The superintendent said he had no independent confirmation of a pact.But don't let that get in the way of a good story, orporate media.
(no link because it's the Ass Press)
Reading about Barbara Jordan -- it is pretty clear that in the 70s (pre-Newt) even Republicans & conservative southern Democrats had great respect for the constitution -- this is gone -- I don't know what to do about it -- if the House had to watch Barbara Jordan's explanation of why the Nixon impeachment was proceeding, the House would vote to impeach Bush (as bad as Nixon, but with a complicit Congress, alas!)
So you're not willing to join us in the streets, in the halls of Congress, in war tax resistance. Yet you'll pretend YOU'RE superior, whilst casting aspersion on us. Gotcha. True colors.
...well, Certainly not! Meat eating may be involved!!!
The first thing Obama should do is make General Betrayus do KP duty.
I once tried to explain how to avoid clashing with Ntodd.
it's actually not difficult, but some still wish to as they say go there.
Pink denigrates the effort to convince one household to stop spraying their lawn with chem.
All the while he shouts in his megaphone with glorious results.
Look how he convinced the Dems to not support Bush surveillance.
Wow, they really listen, don't they?
wow, jack's like a strap-on accessory to any number of the butler trolls
Oh Elias, just fuck you. Nobody here has any sort of notion that Obama is any kind of progressive. But you seem to think that your purity requires you to make the perfect the enemy of the good. Fine. Just don't think you have any right to criticize me if I disagree. Because you can fuck the fuck off.
You know, I was vegetarian for a dozen or so years, but I was never such a humorless fuck that I acted like I was singlehandedly saving the earth. Again, you can fuck the fuck off.
Yet you'll pretend YOU'RE superior, whilst casting aspersion on us. Gotcha. True colors.
Come one, man. He's heroically trolling, saving the world by calling us group thinking hypocrites on a liberal blog.
Turns out, working the grassroots and adding psychological and physical intervention to pressure the existing power structure ain't mutually exclusive. I can garden AND visit DC...
close ups would still help.
baba durag - borg free '08
okay, i'll try to take some more tomorrow as i go crazy with the pry bar!
thanks for the help.
i am also worried about when i move it to the other side of the room. i'm hoping i can just reverse the boards on the floor to follow the slant...
L'Affaire Gloucester is just an extreme case of what goes on in every dead-end town.
In Obama's book, he did say that the Pentagon budget should be INCREASED -- of course that has nothing to do with funding the occupations of Iraq & Afghanistan (which is stupid, but there we are)

Pink denigrates the effort to convince one household to stop spraying their lawn with chem.
Yes, because of the source. If, say...Moe talked about it, I would be supportive.
All the while he shouts in his megaphone with glorious results.
Ah yes, because your method of sitting in Youngstown worked so well!
Look how he convinced the Dems to not support Bush surveillance.
Wow, they really listen, don't they?
Actually, I was following your model and didn't try to force them on FISA. Guess I shouldn't use you to emulate any more, eh?
The superintendent said he had no independent confirmation of a pact.But don't let that get in the way of a good story, orporate media.
You mean they've been flogging this story for two freakin' days now and there's no real confirmation that it's true? I'm shocked -- shocked, I tell you.
The definition of insanity Pink.
At some point, you have to realize it doesnt' work. The only path is grassroots. Change block by block, house by house.
But you keep on shouting while your neighbor sprays their lawn because you're too busy effecting the Dems with staggering results...
will prez obama leave Iraq?

After he sends you there.
"if the House had to watch Barbara Jordan's explanation of why the Nixon impeachment was proceeding, the House would vote to impeach Bush"
Hunter Thompson once said that if Jesus himself came down from heaven to denounce Nixon hired goons from the committee to re elect the president would have him arrested.
Barbara Jordan would be hit with the smear machine and the cool aid drinkers would live in peace.

Funny how Bush's failed occupations aren't even on the books. Is this how his oil company in Texas failed?
George Washington made the right decision to turn down a throne.
He would have looked like a right dick going around wearing a crown. and I think he knew it.
Hello, is there anybody in there....
Evening, all
A lovely day here. Hope it was for everyone. We froze 15 lbs of fresh asparagus - enough to last till next spring/summer - today. Took a lovely walk in the woods. And sat in the warm sunlight. That is the best way to beat the blues I know of.

So why the fuck did u pick Obama in the first place?
the good news is that the cabnet was made elswhere and placed there whole. you won't have to completely disassemble it.
scribing a new board to match the curvy floor is actually pretty easy. you'll need a cheap kids compass and a saw you can cut non-straight lines with (coping saw or jig saw for example).
L'Affaire Gloucester is just an extreme case of what goes on in every dead-end town.
Exactly. Several girls in my high school got pregnant on purpose. It was for attention, or to try to keep a guy (ha!) or because they assumed the baby would love them unconditionally. The girls who wanted love were the ones with crappy relationships with their parents. If the unconditional love thing didn't work on them, why did they think it would work on their kid?
that was my first thought
racymind
yeah, i can see the screws that attach the top part up by the ceiling. and the side boards that hold the shelves are probably screwed in at top and bottom. it's just the drawer part on the bottom that i need to figure out.
and when i took the door off the closet today, i realized how heavy this thing is gonna be...
Nobody here has any sort of notion that Obama is any kind of progressive.
Indeed, I did not support him in the primaries. But he's the Democratic nominee, and hell if I'm voting for some no-name Green when they have no party organization, no support in Congress, let alone the state and local level. Talk about Quixotic.
He's heroically trolling, saving the world by calling us group thinking hypocrites on a liberal blog.

As a lifelong member of the Democrat Party, I am outraged, outraged, that Obama is not the second coming. My fellow members of the Democrat Party, it is time to vote McCain...
At some point, you have to realize it doesnt' work. The only path is grassroots. Change block by block, house by house.
And what do you think Code Pink does? It does outreach. It works at the grassroots AND in the halls of power. Much like Gandhi did--encouraging people to reject the status quo, including the enablers at every level.
But go ahead and tromp on in ignorance. Thus far I'm unimpressed with your "grassroots" bullshit. Whereas Code Pink has gained membership and chapters, and forged alliances with IVAW and other organizations. And put pressure on members of Congress, one at a time.
Uncle Blodge -- you may well be right, but I don't feel inclined to follow Hunter Thompson's coping mechanism (but that's just me)
Nixon was just as bad a Bush -- their solution to problems is to bomb brown skinned foreigners -- sadly, many white American Males seem to find this the best answer to every question ... (BTW -- great to meet you at EschaCon 08 -- you free for the summer?)
The Diaphanous Xymphora (who is Canadian) has a post full of righteous anger describing these phony terror trials, which depend on paid plants (mini-Chalabis) deceiving and entrapping hapless immigrants who at worst make plans to play paintball. This goes a long way to explaining why Gitmo detainees aren't being tried.
I'm thinking of protesting at the Dawg Pound.
If you could add up the hours Pink spends here vs me and then figure out how he gets all he claims to done?
It's easy. Read my blog. I talk about everything. Everything.
Plus I have no job, thank Dog.
I'm thinking of protesting at the Dawg Pound.
Protesting what? That we can't be a better opponent?

Abortion should be the default and actual pregnancy should be something with legal and medical hurdles.
Elias clearly has read the book, "How To Win Enemies And Influence Sockpuppets."
As a lifelong member of the Democrat Party
Thanks Joe, we needed that.
wikepedia contains this lesson
During his [Eastland's] later years, he avoided associating himself with racist stands in the face of increasing black political power in Mississippi. In fact, during this period Eastland hired black Mississippians to serve on the staff of the Judiciary Committee. Eastland noted to aides that his earlier position on race was due primarily to the political realities of the times, ie, as a major political figure in a southern state in the 1950s and 1960s. He considered running for reelection in 1978, and sought to win black support. He won the support of civil rights leader and NAACP president Aaron Henry, but he ultimately decided not to seek reelection in 1978
Time to take the dog for a walk... later, bats
I NEVER picked Obama -- near the bottom of my list, but the choice is going to be Obama or McCain -- only a syphilitic retarded cunt fart would pick McCain (SCOTUS is important)
Abortion should be the default and actual pregnancy should be something with legal and medical hurdles.
Actually, the default should be it's none of your fucking business.

Wrong! It's seven figures, or eight if you count the decimal point.

I'm not sure Americans in general have a clear understanding of what "universal health insurance program" means as opposed to a single-payer program.

good ones are worth more than that
I just GOT to hear what Mr Pink has to say about how he believes Obama is effecting change with this gem. You other Obama apologists can chime in too:
As noted yesterday, Blue Dog Rep. John Barrow of Georgia has been one of the most enthusiastic enablers of the radical and lawless policies of the Bush administration. When running for re-election, he ran ads accusing his own party of wanting to "cut and run in Iraq," and was one of the 21 Blue Dogs to send a letter to Nancy Pelosi demanding that they be allowed to vote for the Rockefeller/Cheney Senate bill to give warrantless eavesdropping powers to the President and amnesty to lawbreaking telecoms.
As a result of all of that, Barrow faces a serious primary challenge in July from State Senator Regina Thomas...
Despite all of this, The Atlanta Constitution-Journal reported yesterday that Barack Obama -- who has been claiming to be so emphatically opposed to warrantless eavesdropping and telecom amnesty, to say nothing of the Iraq War -- taped a radio endorsement this week for Rep. Barrow, with the specific intent to help him defeat Regina Thomas in the Democratic primary (h/t sysprog):

Obama supports a conservative Dem over a progressive...
How could I resist?
Meyers has something to answer for with that multi million dollar steaming pile he offered up this summer.
Dude, Where's My Career?
Prior, I understand, and agree. It's what I was trying to say above, about not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. And I like to think that while I know Obama is no progressive, he will make much better SCOTUS appointments than McCain, who has already stated what kind of fucktards he'd like to appoint. And yes, it is kind of important, though it may not appear so to someone as pure as our oh-so-progressive troll.
Uncle Blodge, good principals definitely are. It's just that they're a relatively rare species.
Keep telling yourselves there's a difference between the war parties.
Maybe it will be true someday...

Seriously folks. Read MLK's speech at Riverside Church (I forget the year). That man was real. Obama is fake as a 3 dollar bill. He'd probably think MLK was a vile socialist.

Who says I'm not? It's more fun than cleaning.
Uncle Blodge, the principal of my HS was notoriously bad. He'd done a couple years in numerous districts--they had all been so eager to get rid of him that they'd write him glowing performance reviews so he'd just get his ass out of their district.
I fear this is still common practice.

Yeah, seen a buncha MLK's speeches. How is Obama's "not real"?

He disowns the one person who most closely reflected MLK's views in Rev Wright.
He praises Reagan, Bush 1, and Petraues.
Would MLK?
He surrounds himself with pro-neolib economists.
Would MLK?
He vows to escalate an immoral war against a peasant population.

Would Obama say this about Iraq????
I just GOT to hear what Mr Pink has to say about how he believes Obama is effecting change with this gem.
yes, I know, I've seen this before ... you are very very gay for him - unfortunately I think he has a girlfriend

sallyh -- I think you're right. I'm doing my bit, though. Most of the time when I talk to someone about universal health care it becomes clear pretty quickly that the complexities of current proposals aren't understood. My anecdotal impression is that a lot of folks would prefer single payer for the sheer simplicity for the consumer before even getting into the cost-effectivelness.

I can't do it. I just can't maintain calm about it all. I freak. I'm a bad person. 
See NTodd, that's where we are blind. We just don't see that Obama, being a black man, absolutely has to live by MLK as his life role model, or he is selling out his race!
Maybe 'blind' isn't the word I was looking for. How about, 'not racist fucks'?

You have no political ideas. You have no principles, that I can see. Your only purpose in life, as best as I can gather, is to be as priggish as possible, and let everyone know that they're as stupid as earwax because they don't have respect for all that you say.
You do all this here, because if you did this anywhere else where people could actually get their hands on you, you'd be limping, lisping and peeing into a bag for a very long time.
You are a professional asshole. You are devoid of ideas, cogent thought and any knowledge of intelligent argument. Your only talent is the ability to disrupt. You are the internet equivalent of a four-year-old spoiled child kicking and screaming on the floor of a WalMart in East Bumfuck, Arkansas.

I have not listened to that one in a long time. Jeff Beck can play some nice guitar. (And Rod Stewart could still sing without being a DB at that point)
My cable company is trying to entice me with a French television channel -- TV5Monde -- which apparently has a sort of Parisian Sex in the City starring Audrey Tatou. I'm very tempted, but I'd have to pay extra for it. What to do? What to do?
tv cing est especial. cest le station quest available en allemagne aussi.
We had 74 degrees today, but muggy. Going to shower later. Yesterday got to 82! Which nobody expected.

...Mrs. Jack K. grew up in the Grays Harbor country, and I have spent a lot of time there over the last 27 years (not to mention that my maternal grandparents lived in Bremerton, where we visited every "summer"). I've seen some of that unexpected mid-80's stuff up there; "stickiness" is the word of the day, eh?
Man, why don't you just watch it ALL?
Because I watch NONE! No, wait, I watch NUNS. Those hot ones, like in Nuns On The Run.
Killfile is censorship in the same way as a whisper-quiet toilet 'censors' the shit drowning.

Those hot ones, like in Nuns On The Run.
A friend of mine made a low budget movie which featured a scene in a drive-in -- on the drive-in marquee was a double feature of "Nun Too Good" and "Hot Crossed Nuns".
Jack,
Sounds like you are very familiar with our funny Puget Sound weather.
We do have summer here, honest. July 23 - Aug 7th, or thereabouts.
But LBJ knew how to get his 6'3" frame to lean over some waffling member of Congress, on a vote he wanted shoved through.
I guess being a former Senate Majority Leader didn't hurt much.
79, 20% humidity in Portland, OR
a nice breeze
Wuz much cooler here today.
We got lucky, the cloud cover kept the heat down for much of the day.
yeah, longest day today
Killfile is censorship the same way Caller ID is censorship.
Nader is the reason we're in this shit.
Democrats have obviously been blackmailed by Bush's wiretapping.
Obama is going to surprise the naysayers.
Republicans can't be trusted with money or government.
Elias had to leave to get himself wiped.
That is all.

That is all.

okay my list has certain parallels.
Republicans can't be trusted with money or government.
Most obvious thing evah.
LBJ was a strange, complicated man. I think he really wanted to do good things, but he fell into the BS ideology of America the Mighty and didn't want to lose the Vietnam War. It ripped both him and the country apart.
My dad hated the weather here in Seattle so much my parents moved to ....wait for it now.... Utah!

He was also good at gettin' a bunch of them nekkid in the Senate gym pool or sauna and then jawboning 'em on a issue. They seemed to be a bit more subdued when their moobs where out there for all to see,
I'm old enough to remember how Bill Clinton was the new savior. The guy basically accelerated the rift between rich and poor. He balance the budget. Okay, I give him that. If Barry Obama is elected we'll essentially have he same neo-liberal politics--anti-worker, anti-union, pro-bidness malarky we had under Blow Job Bill.

I'm old enough to remember he wasn't a savior. Just a president who did some good things, did some bad things, but on the balance was the best we've had in quite some time, particularly compared to the GOP's offerings.

You can't separate the person from their times... yeah, by our standards LBJ could be called 'racist'- mainly for certain words he used (as opposed to the policies he carried out as President)-- which tells you more about our standards than it does his 'racism'.
I think Nixon was sorry for not being elected instead of Kennedy. and lbj was just a consequence of kennedy. and lbj never prepared for being president. os all i can say is: nixon was the real asshole

You have to consider the things he didn't do: the laws he didn't break, the families he didn't bomb, the US soldiers' families he didn't destroy, the oilmen he didn't enrich, the veterans he didn't ignore, the Constitution he didn't shred, the phones he didn't tap, etc.
That's just crazy talk.

Hey Ron,
Clinton still killed via the sanctions a lot of Iraqi children. Not too cool. Rwanda wasn't a stellar point either.
Julia Roberts met her current husband, cameraman Daniel Moder, on the set of her movie The Mexican in 2000 and they began an affair. Though at the time, Moder was married to Vera Steinberg Moder, he filed for divorce a little over a year later.
Julia Roberts met Kiefer Sutherland in 1990, when he was her co-star in Flatliners; he left his wife and children to move in with Roberts.

Clinton still killed via the sanctions a lot of Iraqi children.
And you did what, exactly, to tell the UN and the US President to stop the sanctions?

And then it gets shitty. It always gets shitty.

lbj never prepared for being president
I disagree. As former Senate Majority Leader, LBJ was probably the most experienced, prepared president we've ever had. Look at all the stuff he got passed. His blind determination to not lose in Vietnam was his undoing and forever a stain on his memory, but he was really a tragic figure in the classical, Shakespearean sense of the term. He destroyed himself with his own stubborn folly.
Julia Roberts has had widely reported romantic relationships with numerous famous men, including Liam Neeson, Dylan McDermott, Kiefer Sutherland, Lyle Lovett, Matthew Perry, and Benjamin Bratt, Jason Patric.

I am holding out for Almodovar's melodrama on Condi in which Bush is merely a minor asshole and she struggles to come to emotional terms with her participation in the death of American democracy. In the end, she discovers a shocking secret about her lineage, fails to come to terms with it, and ends her days alone and void of feeling.
Wait, maybe I dreamed that.

The UN was pretty horrible vis a vis Rwanda, too. But basically the US decided it wasn't in its "national interests" to deal with what was happening in Rwanda. So then why was Iraq such a major deal in the 90s???
Adventure of the day. We went to the big pet store to buy Nikki- the Giant Poodle some "Greenies" (she loves these and she is still missing Al)
They had dog adoption day. We were strong. Sort of. They did have this lovely dog. Zoey. Half husky and half mastiff. She was really friendly and nice. About ten months old.
I dunno. We are kind of enjoying only one dog for a change. We are still worrying about Nikki though.

Oh yeah, well that's an earthshaking discovery.
The World.
We're a part of it.
And what did you do? Shout in your megaphone?
The world.
We can't police it.
Still don't want to tell us what you did?
Dick, what'd I tell you about the acid?
Why did Clinton pick white Europeans to bomb and save instead of black Africans?
As NTodd points out, because we're part of NATO.
And I will bring up logistics again -- in Europe, we had a huge airbase across the Adriatic in Italy. Planes could fly out on their missions and return to base on one tank of gas.
Rwanda is a landlocked country in the middle of Africa with no handy US airbases nearby and internally a less than up-to-date infrastructure. Makes intervention a whole 'nother difficult ball of wax.
If anyone here touches my stuff, I'll kill you.

I was driven to tears.
The key to saving the world is trolling liberal websites while pretending to be a Swiss supermodel /engineer, a Hillary Clinton supporter, or a black libertarian.
Oh c'mon. The reason we didn't help the Rwandans was because a) they were black Africans and b) the country had no strategic or military importance to the US of A.
"Lighten up, Francis."
Shit.
Your asking me what I did is just an evasion. Whatever I did wouldn't be enough for you and you'd find fault in it.
That's why I won't answer you...
Besides, you still haven't expressed your feelings on Obama supporting the fascist Democrat over the progressive Democrat...
Perhaps we shouldn't involve ourselves militarily in any country's business.

No, it's not an evasion, and your continuing protestation proves it. You keep telling us how great you are, and how horrible Obama and Clinton are. Now's your chance to shine.
Besides, you still haven't expressed your feelings on Obama supporting the fascist Democrat over the progressive Democrat...
Given you haven't told me which Democrats, nor why I should care when you haven't pressured Obama to support the "right" one, I fail to see why I need to answer you just yet.
Hiya JeffCO, are you able to go to the convention this summer?

Not fadcts. Just your twisted projection. Just because you are afraid of black Africans doesn't mean everybody is, and the logistical reasons were given above. Those are the actual facts. Try reading instead of kneejerk hatred.

I dunno. The house seems kind of empty without Al but that is not really that bad of thing.
We shall see.

I'm not that interested in politics.
LooneyToon, the closest base to the center of africa is an aircraft carrier. It's called projection of power. The war parties don't have any problem using force when it suits their needs. There wasn't any oil in Rwanda, assholiness...
Still 83 F*in degrees here in silly valley, Sallyh. Nuthin' like down there I'd wager.

Without Elias/mimi/General Zod/Econ102/Live Free or Die/... the world would be at an end, because there would be no one to scold us about our terrible group think mentality and liberal hypocrisy.

I don't need to visit my beautiful, brilliant babe in PDX. She's coming East in mere days for to live.
But if anybody's every paid attention, I've always suggested that maybe we shouldn't engage in violent solutions. Still doesn't tell me why I should single out Clinton, who waged a war with international support, no US casualties, low civilian casualties, and succeeded in its objectives whilst then asking why he didn't engage in a place where we had no presence, support, or clear objectives, simply for humanitarian reasons. Puzzles me, it does.

Ron,
Dude, it's not hatred. Just pointing out the machination of US imperial machine. Look when US pols say "national interests" take head. That means, we will defend place which effect us. Outside of that, anyone in trouble is shit out of luck.

It's one of my dark habits, for when I find myself asking what have I done to deserve this?
the closest base to the center of africa is an aircraft carrier. It's called projection of power.
Indeed, it's so easy to project power to the center of a big continent from an aircraft carrier. Almost as easy as doing so from a fucking strait.

He was misinformed.
I'm interested in the idea that Obama is responsible for 700 US bases around the world.

Tonight's performance by the transvestite has me wondering - too many drugs, or not not enough of them?
One more time Pink. Remember, you're the one supporting the liberal wing of the war party, so it's on you to defend this, not me. I don't support the war party:
As noted yesterday, Blue Dog Rep. John Barrow of Georgia has been one of the most enthusiastic enablers of the radical and lawless policies of the Bush administration. When running for re-election, he ran ads accusing his own party of wanting to "cut and run in Iraq," and was one of the 21 Blue Dogs to send a letter to Nancy Pelosi demanding that they be allowed to vote for the Rockefeller/Cheney Senate bill to give warrantless eavesdropping powers to the President and amnesty to lawbreaking telecoms.
As a result of all of that, Barrow faces a serious primary challenge in July from State Senator Regina Thomas...
Despite all of this, The Atlanta Constitution-Journal reported yesterday that Barack Obama -- who has been claiming to be so emphatically opposed to warrantless eavesdropping and telecom amnesty, to say nothing of the Iraq War -- taped a radio endorsement this week for Rep. Barrow, with the specific intent to help him defeat Regina Thomas in the Democratic primary...
