You know, Sarah McLachlan doesn’t get nearly enough props. She is so clear, all bell-like, pure like ice cold water. She’s, like, the Queen of Mentholated.
I kind of forget that she’s there, but then you mention her music to some people and they get that look in their eyes that says, “Sarah McLachlan’s voice has been with me through so many long lonely nights that I will beat your ass to a bloody pulp if you say anything bad about her.”
Just like people make love listening to Sade, people seem to want to listen to Sarah when they cry.

TREX!! Thanks for making the last thread possible.
zed?
TRex, thank you SO much for getting Patrick Graham to stop by tonight.
TRex you have mail.
Tonight, I really really REALLY hate baseball.
America, Fuck Yeah!
So much good new music released today:
Melissa Etheridge
Foo Fighters
Joni Mitchell
Steve Earle
Herbie Hancock
Will.I.Am
Twas an expensive trip to the iTunes Music Store tonight.
Thanks so much for the last thread TRex.
TexBetsy @ 4
A giant thicket of emails just crashed into my Inbox. I am going to have to hack through them all later. I need to eat and veg out. Been a long, satisfying day.
Wow TRex. Epic Late Nite.
And until you are in the arena and hear Sarah hit these notes, you have no idea.
Debbie(aussie) @ 8
You’re welcome, you’re all welcome. It was just as much fun for me.
burnspbesq @ 7
Is the new Melissa Etheridge any good? And I had no idea Herbie Hancock had a new disc dropping at all! Sweet!
Two of those I’ve seen on TV in recent days, Steve Earle and Will.I.Am. I’ve always been an Earle fan but was duly impressed by Will.I.Am as well. I have varied taste :)
I wish that I had been able to get into that conversation, but I’ve really enjoyed going back and reading it. I’m just popping my head in quickly. I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately!
Liss @ 13
Good to see you Liss. Hope all is well.
Keep those dialing fingers in shape, ladies and gentlemen.
SCHIP re-authorization passed the House with only 265 votes. We need to find 25 more to override the veto. Even if we get all of the 11 who didn’t vote today, that still means that 14 minds would have to be changed.
So, did y’all enjoy the snack? Sorry if it interrupted the flow of the guest’s conversation.
TRex!
finifinito @ 12
Will.I.Am is waaaay out of my comfort zone; the last rap or hip-hop album I bought was “Straight Outta Compton.” But the 30 second samples sounded good. I may end up going back for that one.
Oh, and I forgot one other notable new release out today: Pat Metheny.
TexBetsy,
Those are the finest looking S’mores I have ever seen.
Now for a real big dose of fear.
What WWIII might look like.
-GSD
burnspbesq @ 5
You?
Tonight the series “The War” showed the battle my father fought on Tarawa. He would not talk about his experiences until I was say into my 20’s where he gave me Leon Uris book “Battle Cry” who was stationed in a battalion across the road from my fathers unit.
It is interesting and heart wrenching to see the actual battle my father received his WWII wounds that he deals with to today.
TexBetsy @ 14
Yep! Slowly getting better every day.
Hope all is well with y’all.
TexBetsy @ 16
TB, I’m not one to complain about an offering of free smores and God bless for you that, but that honestly is the most offensive picture of smores I have ever seen. This is more like the ones I make.
Well, friends, I’m saying nite nite. And, y’all were so well behaved and polite and stuff. Almost didn’t recognize the crowd.
tee hee.
TRex, thankyou for the last thread – for arranging it and hosting it.
kudos dood.
finifinito @ 23
Yes, but mine started with graham crackers.
BigMitch @ 20
Did you see the ninth inning of the Mets game? I couldn’t decide whether to cry or puke.
sleep well demi
I want to say thank you to all the pups. Ya’ll were wonderful tonight, staying on topic on a Late Nite thread.
Ya made me proud of ya, every one of ya.
finifinito @ 12
Melissa Etheridge — is her daughter that very talented woman on Saturday Night Live. (Have you noticed, I am bad on names?)
Suzanne @ 29
Even Madame Snack who said good night to people. Sorry Suzanne.
TexBetsy @ 28
Graham crackers!
You one smart pup!
nite.
TexBetsy @ 26
OK I will give you that point. And they are kinda cute. But they need to be a big gooey mess like the ones I found.
As a tangent. . . (What else from me?)
My favorite souvenir from my quick trip to Yellowstone in August:
http://flickr.com/photos/pixysticks/1441297670/
tex, you were not the first *cough ct cough*
burnspbesq @ 27
Missed it, but the Yankee game was harbreaking enough. The Yankees playoff spot remains in doubt another day.
Dear Mods: please forgive any sense of blogwhoring. This is link is offered in the spirit of the post given. I really just put this sentiument up mere minutes before this post of TRex’s.
I just think past the crying to FLYING:
http://unrulymob.blogspot.com/
Suzanne @ 29
Yup. Smart, well-informed, interested. Doubtless also handsome and dressed in their very best jammies and slippers.
burnspbesq @ 7
I bet ya didn’t even bat an eyelash…! Ooh, Herbie, that’s a blast from the past…!!! ;-)
Fern @ 38
Don’t wear slippers to bed. Otherwise, yes.
BigMitch @ 36
Mets were down seven going to the bottom of the ninth, and ended up leaving the tying run on third.
BigMitch @ 36
That solo jack in the tenth, was Navarro’s second HR in the game wasn’t it? *g*
finifinito @ 33
Smores were the best thing about going to summer camp – actually the only good thing about going to summer camp – but first you toast those marshmallows over the fire and then you assemble them with you chocolate and – yes – graham crackers. And they truly are a gooey mess.
Tonight I went to a meeting of a peace group I belong to. It is newly organized. I have been on the fence for some time about the effectiveness of it. They are a grassroots organization that is working for long term, lasting peace. I was originally concerned that joining a new group now was unrealistic and counterproductive. Tonight I suggested that we support the possible strike on election day written about in Harpers. The leader said that was too reactive and they didn’t believe it would be effective and, anyway, how who people get to the pols if the bus drivers were not working. Almost went running from the room pulling my hair out and screaming. I emailed my resignation in tonight.
Now I feel depressed. I am also reading “The Shock Doctrine” and feeling depressed about that. And I get depressed after giving talks about health care reform. Shouldn’t that make me feel productive? Or is it just one of those days?
Suzanne @ 35
Uhoh, what did I do this time, Mommy? ;-)
{{katymine]}
I’ve been really wishing I could have watched this series with my dad.
marymccurnin @ 44
Would a good night’s sleep or a weekend help?
Is that series The War online?
marymccurnin @ 44
Bless you for making the effort!
And now, the sleep calls. Night all.
Hey, Bungle O’Bill…Why do you shill, Bungle O’Bill?
;>)
TexBetsy @ 47
Gawd I hope so. Maybe Mr. Ron and I should go to the mountains tomorrow. We could take Wally The Best Dog Ever who turns into Wally The Mountain Goat when we get there.
One more thing,
You guys just crack the shit of of me.
The Very Minute our guest shut the door, I could see everyone: Food Fight.
The music got turned up (America, Fuck Yeah!) and the guys start talkin’ baseball crap.
I just Love. This. Place.
I do.
Liss @ 50
G’night Liss.
marymccurnin @ 51
Well you can always get depressed or give up on Thursday. Hang in there tonight and tomorrow.
Nite, Liss!
demi @ 52
That made me feel better.
Mommybrain!
You’re here.
I never got your e-mail. (crazy thing, I know)
Can you tell me where and when on Thursday night?
marymccurnin @ 46
See me at 37. Paying the price is worth it IMO.
demi @ 52
Ain’t it Grand?!!! *g*
demi @ 52
I like to think of myself as the loudest Firepup around these parts. So thanks!
Fern @ 43
No, the best thing about summer camp was pointing out a nice soft looking buncha 3 pointed green leafy vegitative shrub leaves to my little sister as a good place for her to put her sleeping bag to cushion the hard ground. She fell for it every time and i had the most innocent look when confronted by a parental unit because her being highly allergic to poison oak – was that what that was?
Mary,
I’m glad.
Home is where the heart is.
G’evening, FirePups. I lurked during the prev. post. Thank you, TRex for arranging and hosting Patrick Graham. And thank you, pups, for intelligent questions.
demi @ 57
It’s in Monrovia somewhere. Wish I could go, but I will be getting on a plane at LAX right around the time it’s getting cranked up.
demi – i keep getting my email to you thrown back, too. Four times so far. where art thou coming from?
finifinito @ 48
Sorry, fini! I could only find a link to purchase it from…!!!
CTuttle @ 66
Wanna buy it for me? J/k
demi @ 63
I need more dancing time!!!!!
Mommybrain @ 65
???
I get the ones I sent to Both you addys bounced back too.
But, I got the receipt from my contribution to BA. So, wtf?
Where in Monrovia? Or should I email BA tomorrow?
I wish I could watch The War with my dad – he was retired navy with service in ww2, korea and viet nam.
marymccurnin @ 68
Did you know I am a retired DJ? Tell me what you want to dance to and I’ll serve it up pronto!
My dad says he flew a typewriter in Korea.
oops
finifinito @ 12
I’m six tracks into the ME album, and it’s a BIG departure from her past work (quiet, contemplative, spare instrumentation), but I reallly like it so far.
Oops — track 7 is a little louder. And way out there lyrically. Could have been written by Brad Paisley.
I love Sarah!
finifinito @ 72
Benny Spellman. Irma Thomas. Ernie Kado
You gals keep talking about watching the War with your dads and now I’m starting to tear up.
(It’s been almost exactly two months.)
demi @ 78
((((((Demi))))))
and a kiss, too.
….and hold my hand?
Suzanne @ 61
That was truly nasty. No wonder my admiration for you just keeps growing.
demi @ 80
Yes indeedie.
Oh Demi, I am so sorry.
Do you know Monrovia at all? Take the 210 to Myrtle avenue (east or west, depending on where you start) go north on myrtle (toward mountains, under freeway across Huntington to Colorado. Turn right, park in the second lot on your right, turn left on the sidewalk to The Peach Cafe at 141 E. Colorado. 626-599-9092.
Maya Rudolph is the daughter of Minnie Ripperton. That’s what I was trying to think of, earlier.
Thanks, TB.
Everyone at church is still asking how I’m doing and how mom is holding and, well, telling me that you never really get all the way over it.
He loved me the bestest of anyone. Ever.
persiflage @ 80
I knew she had an evil streak in her…!!! ;-)
hey mitch – doncha just hate it when you know you know it and can’t think of it? drives me nuts
demi @ 85
Making me smile my friend.
CTuttle @ 87
you had doubts?
Thanks mommybrain.
Got it.
See ya there.
Two long days in a row. Sleep might be helpful. Night all.
Uh-oh. NPR is about to get the MoveOn treatment.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/…..id=artslot
Suzanne @ 89
You’ve dispelled ‘em…!!! :P
See you Thursday, demi.
Demi,
My dad died in 1972 of a WWII related injury. His funeral was on my 21st birthday. Nary a day passes when I don’t think about him. Wish he coulda knowed his grandson. He would have been so proud. Not to mention his grand-daughters.
marymccurnin @ 44
This whole revolution thing is like giving birth. It’s an emotional roller-coaster. You go from exhilerated to deflated, from elation to depression and then you realize the work of growing this hungry, squalling, pooping creature you love so much is just beginning. *sigh*
marymccurnin @ 76
I found some Irma Thomas, got any other artists?
burnspbesq @ 93
Doesn’t NPR know that what Georgie wants Georgie gets?
Yup. I bet you that!
finifinito @ 98
Dr. John
burnspbesq @ 93
NPR deserves to take a hit on this, but not from Faux.
Night all,
I mean it this time.
Mary have fun dancing. Fini will take good care of you.
Nite Demi!
Hey Audrey. Happy belated birthday.
Good night all.
BigMitch @ 95
My Dad was killed in a Helicopter crash in N.W.T. when I was eight…!
This will get you started anyway.
http://www.projectplaylist.com/node/16131258
Cool, the third installment is starting here…!!!
Seattle loses to Cleveland, and that ends their hopes of going to the playoffs. 4-3 in 12 innings.
Only one team can stop the Yankees now!
TexBetsy @ 105
Awww!! Thanks, TB. I actually celebrated my birthday today. So you’re right on time. :)
CTuttle @ 86
It was never a question of whether it was there, just how wide it is. The answer : plenty.
katymine @ 21
((katymine))
My friends’ dads, several of them, were on the Bataan death march. They were dealing with injuries the rest of their lives, too.
G’nite, Demi and Betsy!!!
burnspbesq @ 93
God, there may be hope for the old girl yet. I was APPALLED when they carried Wan Williams’s last little chat with Teh Commander Guy. It was LAME LAME LAME!!!
SOOOOOOOO LAME!!
No follow-up questions, all softballs all the time.
Williams is a disgrace. Fawning little toad.
Hey, I got a nice side too – besides the (mainly) inner evil bitch side.
Audrey’s birthday cake. (TRex snagged the first piece. Sorry.)
http://picasaweb.google.com/Te…..5125843618
WTF??? According to the WaPo, EIGHT Democrats voted against the SCHIP re-authorization.
Per the House website, Dems voting no:
Boren (OK-2)
Castor (FL-11)
Etheridge (NC-2)
Hill (IN-9)
Kucinich (OH-10)
Marshall (GA-8)
McIntyre (NC-7)
Taylor (MS-4)
That’s. Just. Unacceptable.
CTuttle @ 67
Wonderful! Thanks.
oh please, say that is whipped creme on that cake, please?
(((sarah)))
((((The War vets))))
hi pups…
Suzanne @ 115
We knew that, your nice side is on display here every night. That’s why it’s fun when the *other* Suzanne peeks out, she’s pretty funny.
I have been looking for a good cake – with a whipped cream frosting. i had not thought of chocolate sprinkles – but that looks yummy – hmmm, i’m going to have to expand my search.
That is serious fuckery… Perino said. “The president has talked with Juan before and we know him well. He’s active in trying to keep good relations with us. . . .” WTF???
Suzanne @ 121
Why not a smores cake?
From the WaPoo:
Awwwwww.
Cry.
Me.
A Goddamn.
River.
I listened to the interview did with the Preznint in January. It was GODAWFUL.
It clearly crossed the line from journalism into PR.
I’m going to have a lot of fun with this tomorrow night.
TexBetsy @ 116
No Problem! TRex is more than welcome after the great stuff he’s done today and as long as I can claim a thick sliver! Yum!! Chocolate!! :)
CTuttle @ 122
I quite listening to NPR when they started the Rumsfeld sell job.
TRex @ 124
We look forward to it.
finifinito @ 124
My husband had his tooth pulled the other day and could only eat soft stuff. One of the stuffs was whipped cream in a can. I have squirted some much in my mouth while walking past the frig that it is all gone. Yummmmm…..
Oh, and MaryM, if you’re still around, I think everybody is feeling very emotional with the autumn equinox full moon coming up tomorrow night. Everybody is weary, weepy, and exhausted, I think, so you’re not alone.
Me, I’m trying to take a long walk each day to keep my head on straight.
marymccurnin @ 129
dammit – adding can of whipped cream to shopping list
twȝk @ 126
No! That quote was from the Wapoo, in regards to Weiss(NPR) saying thanks, but, no thanks to Wan Williams being the interviewer…!!!
TRex @ 130
Glad to know it and glad to know that I am not alone. Not that I want other people to suffer. well not most people.
The new Melissa Etheridge album may be the best work she’s ever done.
I’m a Vanilla creme flavored Cool Whip guy.
finifinito @ 135
Isn’t Cool Whip made out of really soft plastic and sugar?
burnspbesq @ 133
Wow, I’ll have to check it out!
finifinito @ 124
Marshmallow cream frosting? My thoughts exactly! But whipped cream is wonderful too. Ok. Now I have to get something to drink with it.
marymccurnin @ 135
See I have this Dont Ask Dont Tell policy on vanilla creme flavored anything. So it could be made out of solidified formaldehyde and I would consume mass quantities of it.
finifinito @ 139
You can do that to formaldehyde?
CTuttle @ 131
Yeah, I read it. was just saying.
I prefer hand whipped, home made whipped cream, with real vanilla and just a skootch of sugar added.
twinkies…
finifinito @ 138
It’ll save ya on the undertaker’s bill…!!! ;-)
kirk murphy @ 143
Funny man.
What a coup – TDS has the Bolvian President on.
OK, I’m calling it a night.
Sleep well, everyone, and dream of the look on Bush’s face when his veto of the SCHIP re-authorization gets overridden.
Suzanne @ 141
Skootch, never learned that one…!!! Is it between a tad and a smidge..???
Suzanne @ 142
DING!
You are correct!
Suzanne @ 146
Careful when you use that word, coup, about South American countries.
CTuttle @ 123
Means he is actively
sucking upwalking on eggshellsoh hell with it.
burnspbesq @ 146
That would be sweetness… Nite, Burnsie!!!
I gotta ding from the dinoguy!
CT, a skootch is more than a pinch but less than a smidge.
CTuttle @ 152
Raging temper tantrum. “I won’t save small children. I won’t!”
Suzanne @ 142
I’ll have a skootch on the rocks, please
Suzanne @ 152
I’ll have to remember it for the next time…!!! ;-)
punaise @ 155
vodka tryin to do, make me laugh?
marymccurnin @ 153
Meanwhile, state coffers struggle to keep it afloat…!!!
So, which is more, a skootch or a skosh?
CTuttle @ 144
Sings:
Oh, when I die
Don’t bury me a-tall
Just pickle my body
In al-co-hol….
For some reason that song reminds me of Antonito, Colorado. Whole lotta bars open on a Sunday morning, didn’t see a church.
TRex @ 159
overall, I’d have to say Osh Kosh, b’gosh!
Sara Mclachlan did a lovely version of Joni Mitchell’s River. Nice Canadian interpretation of a Canadian composition. It evokes the world’s longest skating link on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa.
B double e double r u n
Margot @ 159
Heh, I’m half way there… Is that near Ft Carson?
Suzanne @ 157
just trying to distill my thoughts
TRex, I think a skoosh is bigger than a skootch.
Suzanne @ 163
I love it.
punaise @ 165
still rum-aging around the ethernet somewhere, pun?
Suzanne @ 168
yes, gimlet-eyed
Suzanne @ 162
Heh, usually my prob was finding the sober’un…!!! 8-)
Suzanne @ 166
Good to know.
You know, Patrick G. was totally knocked out by you guys tonight. When I spoke to him afterwards, he was totally exuberant like he’d just gotten off the world’s best roller coaster. He was almost babbling. He compared it to downhill skiing.
Heh. Skiing with your mind.
I told him that this is what us bloggers get hooked on. Instant feedback. Interactivity.
I bet he’ll be back.
“What a bright bunch of people!” he said.
So, like, I just wanna say, you know, like give yourselves a big hand, cos I was so proud of you all tonight. You showed someone from outside Blogistan the best side of what blogging is about. He was blown away.
*kisses and hugs all around*
I love you guys, man.
*sniiiiiiiiffle*
I missed that thread, off to peruse.
marymccurnin @ 167
The KPIG mentioned is my local station and Sleepy John DJ’s there too. That was a live performance of Todd Snider that was recorded just down the hill from me at a show in Felton iirc.
Mahalo Nui Loa, TRex, for bringing him on!!! *g*
CT,
I really don’t remember, it was years ago when I was a teen. I’m thinking it’s on the NM-Colorado border, or around there.
My family and I saw this poky little town, way up in the mountains. Biggest thing about it was a slag heap. That was Telluride, mid-60s.
Good night everybody. Y’all made me feel more bettah.
TRex, I agree – the Late Nite pups deserve a standing O.
Margot @ 174
I remember a bunch of slag heaps and Telluride, I was a teen at the time Late 70’s, tho!!!
Nite, Mary!!!
glad that little utube helped brighten your night, mary.
Suzanne @ 166
And skookum is more OK than a siwash…
hey et – no indictment yet?
Suzanne @ 182
plenty of indictments, but none yet for St. Ted. In good time, grasshopper…
Hmmm… A siwash, now I’ve heard’em all… Time for this pup to bid another fond adieu to the Lake! Aloha Oe!!!
CTuttle @ 184
skookum is a Chinook term for well-put-together, siwash is probably originally Kwakiutl for jury-rigged. Better jury rigged than a rigged jury, eh?
et, rumor i read about (over at tpm i think) was they were waiting for guilty in the veco guy before announcing the indictment.
g’nite ct and any other leaving sleepy pup i missed
Author Naomi Klein, describing the Green Zone in Baghdad:
Interesting review by Arianna H., comparing Klein’s Shock Doctrine to Greenspan’s new book.
Suzanne @ 186
I helped move that perception along, as it is most likely true. In X-exam in the Kott trial, the government had to acknowledge the extent of investigations into Ted and Ben Stevens beyond what had been known earlier. Not much new about Don Young, though. After Kott’s conviction today, even the most stalwart rightwing AM radio wingnuts in Anchorage were finally willing to wish Don Young and Ted Stevens a prompt and un-fond adieu.
I had not read about his conviction today, et. was that the conviction everyone was/is waiting for? if so, tomorrow should be a very innnteresting day
I’m writing a long Alaska Update for tomorrow, Suzanne. I want to go before Dr. Mitchlove delurks…
{{{{fdl mods}}}}
TRex,
Patrick was great. Thanks. Hope he will be back, and soon.
As time moved on, appeared he really was enjoying himself. Takeaway line: “nothing worse than getting shot at and not getting paid”
Sunny, I think you are right about Patrick’s enjoying himself – the pups did the lake proud with their good manners and thoughtful questions.
ok, pups, time for me to call it a night.
Suzanne @ 192
Indeed. So many good questions I wasn’t even tempted. Betcha he’s great company.
Can’t get to sleep just yet. Back for a few.
Here’s some unholy fuckery for ya: according to the LA Times, the State Department has ordered Blackwater to not disclose any documents or information to Waxman’s commitee without prior approval.
Morning Pups. I missed Patrick’s swim in the lake “live” but just read it. Great stuff. Everyone was very tidy and nice, but clever and thoughtful. Did us all proud. Perhaps Patrick will come for a dip now and again.
And this is really a nice piece. Very enjoyable, thoughtful..and says a lot about the America we all live in..

Dollar hits fresh low vs euro
Such a cut — coming after last week’s 50-basis-point reduction in the fed funds rate — would further erode the dollar’s yield appeal and thus demand for dollar assets.
Shots Fired to Disperse Crowds in Burma
The resort to violence, despite appeals for negotiations from around the world, suggested the long-entrenched military junta has decided to put an end to the country’s most serious political uprising since 1988 — even if the diplomatic price is high.
Sarah is my idol !
Good Morning everypup!
Good morning, pups. Today in the NYT it’s MoDo and Thomas Friedman. MoDo’s column is titled ” ‘Fruitbat’ at Bat” and contends that New York’s hot blast of nastiness and jingoism toward Mahmoud Ahmadinejad only served to pump him up for his domestic audience. Mr. Friedman writes about getting moving on addressing climate change in a column called “Lead, Follow or Move Aside.”

The coffee and tea are ready, and the Thomas’ English muffins just popped out of the toaster. Have a grand day. My new peas and beans are starting to grow. Yippee!!!

When the U.S. tortures, kidnaps, detains incommunicado, snoops, siezes property, denies access to legal counsel, tries people in kangaroo courts, etc. it is to protect people from terrorists, and freedom from terror is a human right too. ;-)

Williams has probably already run back to Brit Hume’s warm embrace.
IRT the Bush speech on human rights, it occurs to me that Bush has no self-awareness. Does he not understand how people view him?
And, irt all the investigations being blocked, does this not scream “Impeach the SOB’s”
solai @ 228
Why are we the only ones who can hear that scream?
it’s so loud!
I don’t know, Elliot. When is Congress going to say that enough is enough. It’s ridiculous. The guy has turned this beautiful country into something ugly.
