Howdy folks. Patrick Rex here, filling on for TRex on the Late Late Night post.
TRex really, really loves Amy Winehouse, as he has made abundantly clear here lately.
I can't say I blame him… I have done a lot of session work these past few years. I wouldn't mind playing drums behind a soul singer with a crack band.
I was in London last fall for two weeks, off and on, for a gig. It was fantastic. I discovered loads of interesting music in addition to lovely Ms. Winehouse. A lot of it was being done on laptops, interestingly.
I am completely head over heels over this clip -
I don't really know a thing about these guys, but I love this track. For those of you who need a bit of a touchup on some of the cultural references: NME used to be a great music magazine. Lately, not so much. Stephen Fry is a very witty and arch British Comedian. The reason Thou Shalt Not buy coca-cola products is because of their horrible labor pratices. Nestle does some pretty terrible stuff involving baby formula and impoverished nations, as well.
I have no idea what Hollyoaks is , though it appears to be a television show.
The Four Elements of hip hop : MCing (rapping), DJing, urban inspired art/tagging (graffiti), b-boying (or breakdancing, to most), and beatboxing.
"Is it?" – I have no idea. Same with the spelling of Phoenix/Pheonix. There's a controversy over that?
Anyway, watching this video made me really, really want to go back to London.
Enjoy!

Evening Patrick Rex.
pure luck, I was waiting for pat to fix the html :)
sorry the layout of this post keeps changing… this advanced version of wordpress is a challenge for embedding movies, y’know, if one is used to the cheap version.
I’m kinda partial to this oldie but goodie from trance/hip-hop.
“Anyway, watching this video made me really, really want to go back to London.”
Does this help any? youtube

Evening, Suzanne!
TRex was sounding awfully sleepy on the phone earlier, so I told him I would jump in and post something if comments started to approach 270, so he could get some rest.
It’s been a busy week round these parts, no?
EPU —-
Houston Chronicle
The death of Pulitzer Prize winner David Halberstam, 73, in a car accident has drawn a flood of tributes. A prolific writer of more than 20 books, the lanky, gruff-voiced Halberstam made his fame as a hard-nosed 29-year old Vietnam War correspondent for The New York Times whose dispatches exposed the false optimism of U.S. officials and commanders about that conflict.
Halberstam’s refusal to take officials at their word and insistence on questioning every available source made him a hero to a generation of journalists who followed. His landmark examination of what went wrong in Vietnam — The Best and the Brightest — was published in 1972 and profiled how ostensibly brilliant statesmen led the country into a bloody, ultimately losing fight in Southeast Asia.
Two days after Halberstam’s death, PBS aired a segment of Bill Moyers’ Journal called “Buying the War,” an examination of the failure of many journalists to adequately question the Bush administration’s justification for invading Iraq. The emotional outpouring after the 9/11 attacks pushed media outlets into self-censorship and suppressed critical analysis.
Phil Donahue’s talk show had high ratings, but because he allowed guests to voice antiwar opinions NBC canceled the program weeks before the war began.
(snip)
In another instance, officials planted a false story in The New York Times indicating that Iraq had purchased aluminum tubes to be used to process uranium for nuclear weapons. Vice President Dick Cheney and others then went on Sunday talk shows citing the story as confirmation of Saddam Hussein’s efforts to produce weapons of mass destruction.
Moyers offers some examples of pre-war reporting that Halberstam would have embraced. The Knight Ridder Washington Bureau’s John Walcott, Jonathan Landay and Warren Strobel published insightful pieces questioning the accuracy of U.S. intelligence claims, but they were lost in the din of cheerleading in support of the war. (Weeks before the war, the Houston Chronicle editorial board warned in an editorial that there was too little justification for the United States to invade Iraq, and too much risk.)
Halberstam’s life is a lesson plan in how news media in a free society should hold government accountable to the truth. After the deaths of more than 3,300 U.S. troops and tens of thousands of Iraqis in a war that shows no signs of ending, Moyer’s report details the disastrous consequences of what happens when journalists abdicate that role.
Yes it has been. I see the video now. Thanks for fixing that.
I wonder if the Mainstream Media will respond to the Bill Moyer’s documentary I wonder if even Keith O can get away with pointing out Pumpkinheads throwing softballs to Cheney. Much less Pumpkinheads leting Cheney keep claiming Saddam and Al Queida are linked.
I ust left this downstairs so thought I would bring it up. The WaPo writers are getting some good stories out. THe editorial board ain’t worth a rat’s ass.
LINK
This one by OutKast is a blast, too.
things come undone @ 12
That’s exactly what I just quoted above. Tomorrow’s top editorial from the Houston Chronicle.
Lou Costello @ 8
God, I love that scene.
“Well, I didn’t vote for you!”
Hi Patrick… good of you to fill in for TRex…
Lordy it has been hard to follow all the doings this week AND try to work.
This week has been a scandal a minute….
“In 1971, he waged a successful one-man filibuster for five months that forced the Nixon administration to cut a deal, effectively ending the draft in the United States. He is most prominently known for his release of the Pentagon Papers”
This man is one of our options for Prez RIGHT NOW. The choice is clear:
http://gravel2008.us
Somehow I don’t David Pryor is going to be pleased when he reads the WaPo story.
Get your popcorn!!!
Texas Betsy,
Bill Moyers did a brief segment on him tonight:
Remembering David Halberstam
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/jour…..ript3.html
Music posts are a wonderful antidote to scandal fatigue.
AZ Matt @ 19
Change that to Mark Pryor
bonkers @ 18
How old is he?
Hi PatrickRex: I went over and saw this last night when you mentioned it. Is he Dan? with a group? I can’t figure it out.
Suzanne @ 21
True but these scandals, why there are so many to choose from. And the fact that they keep coming out with more and more everyday.
Suzanne @ 21
I like ths C&L-LNMC: crooksandliars
What. The. Fuck…?

itwasntme @ 24
I think Dan le Sac is a poet and MC, and Scroobie Pip is a laptop DJ. I think that this is the first thing they have recorded and released, and they knocked it out of the park.
Mike Gravel is 77 I believe, and I haven’t seen that much energy and passion out of a Prez candidate in a looooooong time.
Suzanne @ 21
Yeah. A post at Tbogg’s has me listening to Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen tonight.
Yeah, great clip patrick, thanks.
Darkblack, if I remember correctly, the reason there is no uproar is because this is done by a conservative. IOKIYAR.
Another one bites the dust, Deputy Secretary of State resigns because he was a customer of an escort service.
Bwahahahahahahhahaha
The New York Yankees have lost seven games in a row, and are in last place in the Eastern Division of the American League.
There is a God, and he wants me to be happy.
Its 88 degrees at 10pm right now and predict it will be over 100 this weekend…. Woohoo… almost pool time.
darkblack @ 27
I saw that earlier today. Trying to remember where. It was a discussion about Hillary coming on FDL and some the wingnuts were going after Jane for the blackface video during the CT campaign. One person pointed this cartoon out and the fact that the wingnuts weren’t getting worked up about it.
Wow katymine-I’m in central FL, and it’s not nearly that hot here-yet.
Texas Betsy @
10
Wow! “False story,” eh? That’s the kind of direct language we haven’t been hearing enough of.
I caught a bit of the replay of Diane Rehm today on NPR, and one of the guests was responding to a question about Jessica Lynch with some of the usual “misleading story” blather, and I yelled at the radio “No, it was a lie! Say “lie”!” And he did! It was so refreshing!
(Just for the record, no, I don’t think the little people in the radio could hear me. *g* Especially since it was pre-recorded.)
katymine @ 35
I am afraid that here in the Northern Rockies we just hit the 70s for the first time today. On the other hand I will not have to deal with 100 degree heat at all this summer.
Suzanne @ 21
I dunno, I don’t find these scandals fatiguing at all. But music is still good.

Ya but it’s a dry heat don’t you know?
Actually it is so dry (less than 12% humidity) that you hardly know it is that hot.
Texas Betsy @ 40
Is there anything in Houston that leans left?
LOL, I just won 20 bucks from someone who refused to believe that Rush played that Barack song. Thanks for the link last thread!
Redshift @ 37
This was on the PBS special the other night. It happened quite often. The publication Night Ridder was aware and publishing articles pointing out that very issue.
Texas Betsy @ 41
Every now and then, you get the feeling that the Chron doesn’t like the Bushies. They did a big story back in the day that linked up the Bushies with the Bin Ladens, way back when nobody gave a shit about it. I think it was in the mid 90s or so. Trying to remember…

Fuck Chris Muir, Rush Limbaugh, and every other right-wing bike seat sniffer that shares my air and attempts to make racism a punchline.
Jane and FDL took immense amounts of rancor for an image that had no humor content whatsoever.
I, as the creator of that image made no excuses and vowed ‘never again’.

Well, that’s encouraging. Any more like her around? Maybe we can take the state back from crazies.

I’d agree they knocked it out of the park. Love it. More, please, Mr. LeSac?
I absolutely agree, DB. Fucking hypocrites is what they are – fucking hypocrites.
darkblack @ 51
I am with you on that.
Think about this and put in today’s context of non-binding resolutions, and the only thing being “on the table” are all the options against Iran.
Mike Gravel waged a successful one-man filibuster for five months to end the draft during Vietnam, and then releases the Pentagon Papers to further a takedown of a corrupt President. We are in a Constitutional Crisis with a media owned and operated in order to keep it that way. This cannot be any more clear…a crisis, and we need a true patriot to restore “We the people.” NOW.
DrDick @ 52
Plenty like her around. You just have to know where to find them. Are you in Houston?

LJ/Aquaria @ 56
No, far from it. I’m in Montana, but I grew up in Oklahoma and Houston was always a generally conservative place (and this is before the Repugs took over the whole state). I had the good fortune to get out of Oklahoma just before the Republican coup there.
Texas Betsy @ 58
Night, Betsy. Sorry about my poorly worded post below. It has been a long week.
For those who loved the Bill Moyers ‘Buying the War’: http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/btw/watch.html
Check out the extras down the right. Interactive Timeline and the Scott Ritter interview are great. Still workin’ on the rest.
BTW: They will have tonight’s video with Jon Stewart and Josh Marshall posted sometime later today 4/28. But the transcripts are up: http://www.pbs.org/moyers/jour…..index.html

I didn’t know who Gavel was when I saw him last night. He was certainly passionate. I basically agreed with everything he said, but the way he said it was unusual.

Spiderpaws said this was going to be a bad weekend for the bushies.
DrDick @ 62
It’s still pretty much conservative, overall, and still gaudy as hell. I was witness to a huge Halliburton shindig there that brings a whole new meaning to conspicuous consumption. Shoulda seen all the diamonds and big hair going into that event!

GPB, saw LRP some years ago. That is a guitar player in the finest sense of the word. He is awesome.
LJ/Aquaria @ 71
God, I had forgotten the big hair. Gaudy I do not mind so much, though Dallas/Houston vulgar ostentation makes me queasy.
Man, I was just listening to that horrible minstrelsy over at TPM- the inflammatory crap that Limbaugh has hidden on the Members Only section of his website.
Amazing that some people think it’s ok to make the Selma Marches a punchline.
I have seen the Edmund Pettus Bridge… Liberal/socially concerned/radical Americans should all go stand on that bridge, and imagine walking up the steep incline into the swinging clubs of the Alabama State Patrol.
Rush and his racist demagoguery. Sheesh.
Rap is not music.
It’s spoken word.
It’s pretty ugly, commercially, speaking.
Hip Hop is a marketing ploy to sell shit.
Despite my proclivity to admire and respect Grand Master Flash, it’s all gone downhill since.
When the music business began to employ synth’s, and drum machines, to cut costs, the sound went to hell.
I’m not a producer, engineer, or audio tech, but I sure as shit know what I like in music for 54 years.
It’s NOT on the radio.
And I FEEL the pain of the soul sounds of the 50’s and 60’s that were usupred when they cut out live horns, and top 40 butchered it from there.
Harumph.
Gimme acoustic stringed music of grass, newgrass, jamgrass, dawg, gypsy and folk and celtic and the myriads of those HANDS ON and PURE human made musics any day. Pure HUMAN talent. Human made. Voices stacked, in arrangements, that chill the soul.
And PLENTY of room for the cultural sharing, and INCLUSION, of all people’s rainbow. Of all country’s.
Harumph, 2.
Let the SUPPOSED voice of the oppressed find an outlet other than in major record labels jive ass rape of all things popular.
Harumph 3.
And who in here is fighting the fight, against the RIAA and the Royalty Copyright Board recent impositions of TAXATION that will shut down internet streaming?
Hmmmm?
Indie’s of all rainbows will NEVER again be heard. Only the watered down Clear Channel’s Of Life will allow a few formats. Winehouse, and Joss Stone, might NEVER have been heard.
Harumph.

I do not really have to imagine it. I watched all of that on TV growing up in the 60s. I think I’m still mad about it.

I really have to resist the urge to fire up my lighter anytime I’m in either city. The only thing holding me back is that putting doing so might make the entire place go up in flames and take me with it! I bet you can ignite the Dallas’s AquaNet miasma from Terrell!

He turns 77 on my late brother Gene’s birthday, May 13. I’ve known Gravel since he was 42. Lotsa Mike Gravel stories – my wife even has more. Later, though. Off to watch The Last King of Scotland with her.

Loo Hoo @ 66
I’ve only seen clips of him on C&L and his web site. I remember people saying Ned Lamont is cool and all, but he’s an awkward speaker, so not sure he can get elected. In a few months, with the help of FDL and others, Lamont makes up a 40% deficit and beat LieberME in the CT Dem primary. If nothing else, we need Gravel to help re-frame debate.
Larue, I am lucky to live in KPIG’s broadcast area. For those not so fortunate, one can listen online. Real DJ’s who choose their own music. Lots of Dobro too :)

Suzanne, he’s a friend of mine, I’ve played onstage several times with him. He taught me slide guitar. I love the man like a brother.

You’re in Central Fl? I’m from Tampa, and lived in Orlando/Altamonte Spgs/Winter Park for 5 years before moving to LA.
LJ/Aquaria @ 85
G’night, LJ. Beware the big hair!
GPB, I’ve never seen your friend, but I’ll keep an eye out if he comes to central FL-have you ever seen Sonny Landreth?
Alicia @ 84
My band has been talking about calling our next record “My Dirty Southern Life” in homage to two things, 1. The “Dirty South” of the new music scene that has sprung up in Atlanta in the past five or so years, and 2. our own lives, in contrast to that- always covered in something very NOT glamorous- motor oil, plaster dust, roofing tar, fryer grease… we’re working class and proud of it!
But it ain’t bling and limos for us, that’s for sure.
Hi Alicia! I am indeed in central FL, about 20 mi SE of Tampa. I’m a native.
But Bonkers, Lieberman was just elected to 6 years in the senate. So sad.
Holy shenannigans, I take a few hours off for a gig and I come back to see the Bush administration melting down in a moral cesspool of hookers and graft.
He’s having another baaaaad weekend.

You’re a ‘laker after my own musical heart! Only musical events i go to these days are home concerts, great grassroots movement in music. The way it’s meant to be listened to! Harumph!
larue@ 78 – you nailed it – my daughter and son-in-law are musicians and say very similar things……
Cake or Death? youtube
Cake please.
Alicia, you wouldn’t believe what they’ve done to this area in the last few years. Endless concrete and white-flight suburbs where there were open fields and woods just a few years ago.
RonD @ 92
Ron, my husband’s in a band (LA Blues Alliance) with Sonny Landreth. They played at the House of Blues last week. No one can do what Sonny does on slide. He pretty much reinvented it.
RonD @
92
Ron, I first saw Sonny Landreth three years ago on the Delbert Cruise. he was playing with Hiatt, but also played a couple of gigs of his own on the boat.
The first gig, I was standing there, my jaw agape. I was just…blown up, blown away, blown down. A friend of mine from Delbert’s band came up to me and asked me “you’ve never seen Sonny before, have you?”
I replied, stuttering, “uh uh.”
He smiled, put his hand on my shoulder and said “Sonny’s not like the other children.”
After the show, I went up to him, stammering, “Hi, I’m XXXX and I used to think I played a little slide guitar but man…you just put me in my place.”
Sonny shook my hand and said “aww man, you still do. you don’t have to be me, be yourself.”
I’m not usually an autograph collector, but I have Sonny’s on the back of my Stratocaster headstock.
By the way, Lee Roy will be in Central Florida SATURDAY the 28th at the Melbourne Art Festival.
How’s that for to your door service? That’s TOMORROW! TODAY for you!
GO SEE HIM! You will NOT regret it.
I’ll have cake too, thanks.
RonD @ 94
20 mi SE – Riverside?
Just got this today……It’s a ‘Jazz Thing’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AYZvqcGKV8
I discovered Sonny a few years back at a WMNF benefit show-simply unbelievable. The best I’ve ever seen.
RonD @ 101
Makes me glad I live here in western Montana. Millions of acres of uninhabited mountains and forests all around here. We even get bears and mountain lions wandering into town occasionally.
Wow Alicia, you’re good. Riverview it is.
Loo Hoo @ 95
Thanks to the Repukelickin voters of CT. Lamont was the DemocratIC nominee.
Dj Premier!!!
Guru!!!!
Thanks for that, LC.
Man, that still sounds good all these years later.
Guitar_Playing_Bastard @ 103
Dude, there were two other guitar players up there on that stage last week with Sonny – Keb’ Mo and Snuffy Walden – and they just had their tongues hanging out. Sonny doesn’t socialize much – literally all he does is think up new things to do on slide guitar.
Add me to the list of Sonny Landreth fans. I discovered him a couple of years ago and love his work.
When I first heard Sonny on WMNF, I literally didn’t know what I was hearing. Slide guitar from Europa.
RonD @ 109
Oh man – Riverview! That’s right. My brother lived there for a while. Used to be on the 301, right? Do you remember the old A&W around Ruskin? A couple of years ago I went looking for it and it was gone…*sigh*
Saw Robert Randolph and The Family Band a couple of years ago. That is fine slide guitar playing by a very talented young man.
This is different: California Guitar Trio ~ ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ ihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNNcMDZn2Qk
John Campbelljohn, who is from Nova Scotia, is another good slide player.
I’m sitting about 300 yards from 301 this second. If you know Ruskin, then you remember a place called THe Coffee Cup? The best pies on Earth.
RonD – and how about that ‘New Tampa’ crap? ugh.
And a moderate is someone who, faced with the choice between cake and death, takes a cookie and an amputation.
darkblack, I feel for you. The amount of heat you, Jane, and FDL took for that image is vastly disporportionate for whatever tone-deafness went into posting it. Next time somebody here wants to pick up that “meme gun,” I recommend ebog’s spreadsheet (linked from the comments at Glenn Greenwald’s place), which is quite informative, and funny as hell to boot.
And it’s really not fair criticizing Rush for that song. After all, he was merely bringing attention to the archetype popularized by Spike Lee. It’s not racism, it’s, uh, an educational effort to consciousness-raise people’s sociology knowledge.
Yeah right.
Gawd. A guitar player I play with lives in New Tampa. Everything wrong about suburban life all in one place.
RonD @ 119
Sure do! And do they still have good tomatoes in Ruskin or has it taken a hit like the orange groves?
They still have the ‘maters. The big plant right between Apollo Beach and Ruskin is still there, but the coffee Cup is long gone. The Pie Factory spun off into it’s own business.
We used to live in Lutz on Lake Hobbs, which at the time was a little country hideaway with a blinking yellow light in the center of town – it was paradise for a kid – boats, horses, plenty of room. Now it’s just ‘Carrollwood North’. So sad.
I have a brother in Lutz-I’ll be there tomorrow night.
Well, folks, it is the witching hour here in the Big Sky and I have a HUGE stack of term papers awaiting me in the morning. I think I will follow TRex’s example and crawl into bed with my kitty (who is currently curled up waiting for me).
well now fellow lakers – its off to clean kitchen and get to bed – nite all
Is anything decent left there? It broke my heart the last time my stepmom and I drove through there, just to see if our old house was there. All suburbified.
Juslin, Dr., you have the best of all possible weekends.
Alicia @ 112
As my friend from Delbert’s band said…”Sonny’s not like the other children.”
How can we get Trex to listen to Delbert, Lee Roy and Sonny?
Lou Costello @
106
Awesome! thanks!
Good night all.
Thanks for letting me have a little moment in the sun here and enjoy your company.
I am probably minutes from snoring myself.
see you ’round these parts tomorrow.
Alicia, if you look carefully you can see the outlines of what once was under all the new crap-but the days when I could walk outside in the AM and hear a whipporwill a mile away are gone forever.
Sleep well and thank for letting TRex get some sleep himself, Patrick Rex.
Sleep well, Patrick.
Guitar_Playing_Bastard @ 131
Make them women of color? I have known TRex since we rode around in the womb.
He’s not down with the Blues unless it was made before 1966 and even then, only if it was sung by a woman.
He’s got his standards, right or wrong…
Does he not dig the southern soul music? As far as I can tell, his musical taste is spot on – if he’s not aware, maybe we can send him some.
In the meantime, for y’all musicians, I was sent this gem of a song by a bass player friend – it’s my new theme song, and it just might become yours, too!
Alicia @ 122
When I first moved to Fla (St.Pete) from NJ in 1985, my Mom loved to stop at the fresh fruit stands. One day a sign proclaiming “Ruskin Tomatoes” caught Mom’s eye…so I pulled over. She went and got some and came back laughing. She told me when she saw the robust red ‘fruit’, she said to the farmer; “These are as close to Jersey tomatoes you’re gonna find in Fla.” They guy looked at her and calmly stated; “Well, they’re grown about 12 miles north of Ruskin…if that’s any closer for ya.”
patrick rex @ 137
Does he like Jo Ann Kelly then?
Lou, you’re in St.Pete?

Good night, y’all!
patrick rex @ 147
Nighty night, PRex!
Alicia @ 144
do it! do it! Do it!
Good friends in Miami, but I do everything in my power to get them to come here instead of having to deal with that traffic.
Wishful Thinking
In a shocking reversal of Policy, President George Bush announced today that he is revising his policies on Iraq and education.
Bush announced today that he will set up benchmarks for the War in Iraq and has set a deadline for these benchmarks to be met. If these benchmarks have not been met by that date, the war will be closed down. Bush has also announced that he will not provide funding for this innitiative which he calls “No War Left Behind.”
Bush has also announced a new “War on Ignorance” and has vowed to add 1 trillion dollars to help fund schools, pay teachers, and add new educational initiatives. Bush has vowed that he will not abandon this effort until every child in America learns to read. He calls this initiative “Operation Education is Freedom.”
Q’Daughter, your trying to make my head explode, and it might work.
patrick rex @ 149
Okey-dokey – if he checks back here, here’s my music page.
Josh Marshall is doing a great job of laying out the DOJ scandal. I’m loving the new Moyer show.
Suzanne @ 154
Can it be found online? I hardly ever get to watch TV, but I’d love to see Moyers!
Suzanne, how do you suppose Moyers got the new show? I mean, the Republicans are still in charge.
Zed???? No fair, everyone bailed on the last thread, and, I swear I was in the MSM(Echo Chamber), usually someone posts a courtesy note!
patrick rex @ 147
Jo Ann Kelly with John Fahey, Woody Mann, John Miller, Alan Seidler on Blue Goose
Good recording. I used to have it, long before there were CD’s
My PBS station is replaying it now-I had a bunch of company show up when it was on earlier.
Suzanne @ 154
It is most splendid isn’t it…
I heard that Moyer came back to PBS because the reason he left PBS, the former head (can’t remember his name – he was that rethug guy that wanted to turn PBS into FOX) was now gone.

Don’t explode!
Think about your troubles!
I believe the Moyers shows are going to be available online after they have aired, Alicia.
Kenneth Tomlinson-but still. Giving Moyers a show is only a few clicks from giving Amy Goodman a show.
tbsa @ 160
I have to wait another hour and a half to see it! Josh is on it??? Awesome, DVR action!!!!

I just cannot understand Wolfowitz putting on such a public fight to stay on. He is clearly able to retire financially, so is it a matter of pride or cover for Bush or what? Why would he put himself through this kind of nightmare on purpose?
I think Wolfowitz is doing the same thing as Gonzales – they are providing cover to the WH. As long as they are around and refusing to leave, attention is on them and not the WH.

Buying the War
Gawd-don’t you hate all the cutsie little jokes they try to put in on Morning Edition these days?
I’ll bet you a quarter Mara Liasson winds up on FOX before she’s done. She sure seems to enjoy yukking it up there.
RonD, that is what happens when news becomes infotainment. I refuse to watch any of that crap.
For all of you win Williston Park, LI NY…
Tomorrow a good bud of mine will be performing as Julia Ward Howe … a 20 minute “living history” about Julia Ward Howe’s Peace work. In the interest of full disclosure…www.juliawardhowe.org is an imperfect website I made when HTML was king and CSS wasn’t driving me crazy. WHEN will the W3 consorium standardize the language so that those of us interested in pursuing content can continue to code with ease?
It is hard enough learning Kant from our 19th century foremothers without throwing CSS into the mix;)

Hey Alicia, your music is GREAT. Nice groove! Check your MySpace friends requests, I just sent you one from my band’s My Space.
Consider this the Late Late Nite be kind to the margins PSA. Quoting a comment that contains a link is one of the fastest ways to bust a margin.

Queenie, when do you expect to hear? My daughter just went in for her first job interview at a vet’s office. She got a second interview, 6 hours of going around working with everyone in the office and hasn’t heard back yet. This is a big veterinary office with 7 doctors and round the clock hospital. I think I am more nervous than she is! This would be a perfect job for her since she wants to be a vet. But isn’t the waiting a killer?
Thanks, NPB. I’ll pass that along to those backstage hardworkers (who volunteer their time by the way).
noen @ 189
Windows Media and freebie (not Pro) Quicktime. DRAT.
Y’all are very forgiving of NPR … just becaue they are preaching to the choir doesn’t make ‘em good! They may be the best of what we got but daggone it they could do much better. Middle of the Road might be just as dangerous as main stream. What we need is news that goes off the rails (and yes that is an oblique reference to Celine.)
What’s missing is context and analysis. I want to hear, “He said, she said..and this is who’s lying!”
Loo Hoo @ 198
4 – 6 weeks. But the waiting isn’t the killer. The question is … do I give up 2 good jobs (1 in philanthropy and one in a progressive preschool) to take a “job” as an indentured servant to the NYC public school system. I would love to say “Yes” but the penalties for early withdrawal are pause making… Good luck to your daughter!Pun sort of intended:)

The news must be separated from the demands of ratings! Otherwise we will never have news again.

I’m not forgiving of NPR or of MPR here in Minn. There are fewer and fewer shows that they have that speak to me. I’m liking a local station KFAI a lot better lately. And of course, The Current totally rocks.
Alicia, I’m off to bed but I’ve listened to all your songs on your site and you ROCK! We ought to work on each other’s records.
Check your MySpace friend requests, you’ll find one from my band, and that’s me.
BTW, I don’t know them as well as you do, I’m sure, but Terry and Teresa are friends of mine, too. I’ve played with Terry on the Delbert Cruise.
G’night, y’all.
(deep sigh) I just want to hear the truth in what is reported. Not spin. Not the current missing blonde distraction. The truth should not be too much to ask for.
RonD @ 206
Amen
Good nite, GPB! My 4003 Rick says good nite, too.

I agree, that’s why I swim in these waters…
Bidding all you fine firepups good night and thanks for another memorable late nite in your fine company. FWIW I think we’re all in for a very memorable weekend in the most positive sense. :~)
Suzanne @ 209
The truth is a lot to ask for and has never been a big commodity anyway. What is the truth? I know what it is in science, but in politics? I’ve no idea any more.
That said, I think it is possible to get close to the truth and that it’s possible to be wrong.
You sleep well, NPB! I hope you’re right!

This is so cool that you and Alicia hooked up! Do we get to hear any possible results?

BTW Alicia, what you need is to get noticed. Send some stuff over to The Current. They play new artists all the time.
Hey, Firepups, I just “primed the pump” in EPU-ville on looseheadprop’s great post today. Please go there to prime the pump some more– or am I supposed to copy it over here, even though the thread’s on an entirely different topic?
Bob in HI
I think you should say what you like here, Bob. Doubt anyone is going back to LHP’s earlier post.
No, Bob, you can leave it there. Comments are open for 24 hours on all posts just so they can be. Post authors usually return to see EPU’d comments.
Noen, it is indeed too bad. The best we can do is all we can do. Consider the ideal, and do the best we can.
RonD @ 219
So… you and I kiss … we feel it the same way? Or we agree that what we feel is similar enough that we can agree. Objective reality … tricky … more like a pre agreed upon set of evaluatory (is that a word?) experiences. I think truth is relative … especially since in the long term it is simply a “best guess” scenario…
Bob, let’s leave it there since it was such a large comment with a couple nested quotes.
Do we feel it the same way? No. But we can describe the circumstances that lead to the kiss the same way.

FDL WEST COASTERS AND LATE NIGHT EAST COASTERS!!
I posted the whole Bill Maher Real Time from FRIDAY night. Dennis Kucinich acts presidential; the Republican on the panel admits to not REALLY knowing how it’s going in Iraq; Alec Baldwin’s right to yell at his daughter; the model for “A Few Good Men” US Attorney David Iglesias has a live sitdown and is promptly and rightly called a hero by Maher. It seemed like Mr. Iglesias was a little emotional and it was a very good moment. Richard Belzer was great, not interrupting with cute jokes right in the middle of great discussions like Dana Carvey did a few weeks back. The Baghdad bureau chief for NPR, Jamie Tarabay, told of how the Green Zone is a Myth in that it’s more dangerous than the (red zone) and so her staff don’t stay there.
Republican Lisa Schiffren, the former speech-writer for Newt Ginrich among other things, tried to talking point her way out of a discussion involving Iraqi oil revenue and the money supposedly going towards reconstruction of the infrastructure…. “Well maybe things haven’t gone on line as fast…well I haven’t actually been there so I can’t speak for how things are” after the Baghdad bureau chief flatly says: “that’s just not true”
It’s sad how completely and utterly full of SHITE “these” people are.

It’s a deal, GPB! I’d love to.
I’ll probably see T&T either Sunday at the Pier or in a couple of weeks at Cozy’s, my local hang.
They are internally true, but not subject to external verification. Part of why it’s so much fun to find new ways of expressing love for one another.
Empiricism has its draw backs.
Laura Bush says no one hurts over Iraq more than George. I challenge her to meet the parents as it were. Their emotional pain is not only internally true it is also possible that empirically a person who has lost a child “suffers” more than a pretzel chokin charlatan.
Sorry, it’s late…I’m playing a semantics game … enjoying it no doubt…but possibly (probably) just spankin’ the intellectual monkey for my own enjoyment.
Q’, I enjoy this kind of thing more than I can say, and I’ll happily chop semantics with you anytime.

You aren’t kidding. My great X 4 grandmother (Julia Ward Howe) left 1000 pages of journals that I am painstakingly transcribing and d’ya know what she is writing about? KANT. In freaking detail. Then Spinoza (she goes backwards) and at the same time “current politics.” So I spend many a day split screen between 19th and 21st century. GUESS who’s a more “up to date thinker” – I’ll give you a hiint… she spoke seven languages I speak one.

morning people….up WAY earlier than I want to be…….she who named me oddmommy has a socker game.
Just one random thought I wanted to share, though it’s probably been said b4…..there is a certain……well, perhaps BEAUTY isn’t the right word……to this whole Tenet thing, which the WaPoop actually had the sense to front page this morning. To see these people devouring each other like the soulless savages that that they are, is just a particularly fitting nail in the coffin of their hypocrisy……
Good morning, pups. Coffee and tea are ready, and croissants. Today in the NYT Robin Wright wonders if our technological sophistication will be our downfall, and MoDo writes on “Slam Dunk” Tenet and Condi.
http://mgpaquin.wordpress.com/
I sympathize, oddmommy, with the getting up early thing. I’m not a natural morning person, but a job that starts at 7:30 drags me out of bed much earlier than I would like!
Do you have honey butter for those croissants Marion?

Tks for the review linky at tpm & a very good morning to all the firepups here by the Lake.
There is so much to read….hookergate or the USA scanda? So many choices first thing in the morning. I live for Saturday morning.
Every Saturday morning, I cut up a whole loaf of white bread in tiny pieces and throw it outside my bedroom sliding glass door. I just had a beautiful cardinal stop by, 2 squirrels, some terrorist bluebirds (who ALWAYS take 3 pieces and fly away), and a Pitt Bull. The dog was a total surprise. I guess next time I need to add some bologna. It is just so relaxing to watch them.
YW Waccamaw & happy Saturday to you.
Well, y’all do we really care about terrorism in this country? Or don’t we?
How much play would this have gotten if it could have been tied to Muslims? Or if it had happened to, oh, the Olympics? Or at the home of someone famous?
CNN gave it about thirty seconds, from the report I’ve seen on their web site, if it made it to the air and wasn’t just a news release for the internet.

As King Soloman wrote more than 2,500 years ago, “there is a time for everything.” It’s time to say goodbye from this wonderful job. Tomorrow will be my last day as U.S. Attorney. It’s been the most responsible job I’ve ever had and the second most exciting job I’ve ever had (nothing beats being launched off and landing on a Navy aircraft carrier). The years have been an unprecedented mixture of experiences, memories and accomplishments. Beyond the record number of criminal cases my
AUSAs brought, I’m proud of my hard-working office and its 95% conviction rate. I’m proud to have successfully prosecuted the biggest political corruption case in New Mexico history. I’m proud of having nationally recognized Weed and Seed and PSN programs. But, it’s more than just metrics, it’s
about forming friendships with many of you. I’ll never forget going to Colombia and Mexico with Johnny Sutton, Paul Charlton and the late great Mike Shelby. I’II never forget visiting drug cartel lord Pablo Escobar’s home in Medellin and realizing America saved Colombia from becoming the world’s first “narcocracy.” I’II never forget running in L.A.’s seedy MacArthur Park with Matt Whitaker in the
early morning hours. I’II never forget speaking at Main Justice’s Great Hall for Hispanic Heritage Month, or testifying before Congress, debating a member of Congress and Village Voice journalist on the Patriot Act , backseating an F-16, or getting an op-ed published on immigration reform in the ,
Washington Times. I’II never forget former A.G. and Mrs. John Ashcroft giving us a walking tour of the Washington monuments at night. Heady stuff for a guy originally from Panama whose family is just one generation removed from substistence living in the jungle.

When did this get slipped into the bill in 2005? Was this before or after Katrina?
Josh’s Timeline:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/usa-timeline.php
Katrina was Aug. 30/Sept.1 ish. Don’t know about the rebuilding legisislation/$ and/or Rove, etc if that’s what you want to know.
Good morning folks,
So nice to be back at the lake if just for a brief moment. I’ve been busy of late. It’s a beautiful day here for an Impeachment Rally and Parade. I have my Free America, Impeach sign ready, and I just finished my mini sandwhich board sign for hanging around my neck, which says Have You Seen My Constitution Lately?
Thanks. I’m just cynical enough to think that they knew they might lose the Senate after Katrina, and they never knew if they might not need something like this if something happened to one of “their guys” over at Justice.
IOW, the timing of all this is hinky. Why wait so long to pull the trigger?
Something had to get them to act.
Holy Mama, Alicia, your music IS great. And, apparently, I already have a bit of it! You were on Neil Young’s Living With War!!?
