i found a great utube of gov’t mule covering war pigs.. forking rocked.. looking to find it

What do you say? Let’s make it stop.

found it

Love The Mule/Warren Haynes! Saw Flaming Lips do one as an encore in 2005, very intense! I know there’s a youtube of that out there.

A bit more subtle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_74a6Xn3HMs

or this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se8OmYL5br0

so, es, next week – what nights we gonna do our wide stance protest song utube war?

Any old time.

Channeling ET.. I hate this damn war!

kewl, ES. Wanna do it Tue and Wed or Wed and Thur?

I say KEEP TALKING!

Everything starts with an idea….cause and effect.

I want to do it for a week… we need protest practice around these parts.. people are killin’ and dyin’ and the writers in LA, nurses in Appalachia are on strike.

I say we stir it up real good!

kewl, so let’s set it up for next week – Monday through Thur and Fri you can put up your selection for best of the bunch and I’ll put up mine Sat?

Each night we could post a top pick from comments with, perhaps, three links to honorable mentions.

ohhhh, that’s a good idea, ES

I like that.

Correction: Top comments of the previous night.Thursday everyone can vote for the best of them all.. and we can post those choices on Friday.

You could kick it off with some of your favs on Monday.

Is kos down?

You want me to start Monday? Sure thang, ES. I’ve got some good ammo lined up already – have I mentioned that I had fastest ammo reload in my police academy class?

The mighty Kos my be down but he is never, never out.

OT, I have this….

Bored, tired of the same old yadda and yadda about Bush/Cheney/Condi and the rest. Well here’a cool way to strike back and have fun doing do: The Forces of Justice are on the wing. Google Bomb the ReThug Latta!

Hmmmm….maybe not off topic after all.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. I learned to duck while typing in late nite a long time ago. *g* (I’m ducking now)

Do they have to be protest songs?

I lean more towards PEACE!

‘Soon’ by Yes

Soon oh soon the light
Pass within and soothe the endless night
And wait here for you
Our reason to be here

Soon oh soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open
Our reason to be here

Long ago, set into rhyme

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

(laughing) all in good fun, ES – I’m looking forward to it.

i believe we have a wide stance protest song policy – one which includes peace songs LouC.

I love it! Bombs away.

Oh yes, a very wide stance.. especially for peace.

Bombs away you say?

Good night.

When a Hasidic Jew is holding a sign saying; ‘The End of Zionism equals Peace’… something’s afoot…

Gates sounds like Rummy…. NYT

Gates Says Iran Still A Threat

MANAMA (Reuters) – Iran poses a threat to the United States and the Middle East despite a U.S. intelligence assessment that Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003, Defence Secretary Robert Gates said on Saturday.

In a speech to the Manama Dialogue security conference in Bahrain, the Pentagon chief argued Iran still has the capability to restart its weapons program and continues to enrich uranium, an essential part of atomic weapons development.

He also accused Iran of actively supporting insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as Islamist groups Hezbollah and Hamas, and that its missile program poses a wider threat throughout the region.

“Everywhere you turn, it is the policy of Iran to foment instability and chaos, no matter the strategic value or cost in the blood of innocents — Christians, Jews and Muslims alike,” Gates said.

David Frum Connects CIA Tapes to 9/11

Based on two active US intelligence sources, I was the first to disclose Zubaydah’s interrogation. To date, I am the only reporter to have printed the info about what happened to him.

Zubaydah, wounded when he was captured in Pakistan, was fooled in a fake flag operation to believe that the Saudis held him. Instead of being afraid of the ‘Saudis,’ he demanded to talk to three Saudi princes (one, the nephew of the King, who happened to be in the U.S. on 9/11). He gave his interrogators the private cell phone numbers of all 3. He did the same regarding the chief of Pakistan’s air force.

He did the same regarding the chief of Pakistan’s air force.

Not just the House of Saud… Some serious interlocked Fuckery…!

dang, tex… that is major serious fuckery

Tex, is this an interesting peace statement, a Hasidic Jew holding a sign saying; ‘The End of Zionism equals Peace’…?

producers walk away from the strike negotiations…several observers predicted earlier this week that this would happen when the producers hired “masters of disaster” lehane and fabiani, former clinton/gore pr hacks. details at skippy.

hey skippy

Skippy! What do ya think of the new digs?

Hasidic Jews did not accept state of Israel when it first came about. The Messiah’s supposed to bring us back from exile, according to them. So we had no business going back on our own without a messiah and prophets and all to guide us.

Most have let go of that idea, but I’d be unsurprised if there are still some who feel that way.

Bibi doesn’t cut it as Messiah…? 8-)

All you Capricorns are headed for a year of expnsion and luck courtesy of planet Jupiter which moves into your sign on December 18th…Sagitarians, on the other hand, will need to tighten up their wide belts and get ready for a year of cautious living and tending to business, no more flaunting your philosophy and looking down your bows at the rest of us struggling along.

spidey!

ummmm …. no. not even close CT

*groan* My wife is Sagittarius… Spidey! *g*

War Criminals
from Eschaton by Atrios
As far as I’ve seen, no one in the media actually took note of the logical implications of what John McCain said in the recent debate:

McCain: Then I am astonished that you would think such a — such a torture would be inflicted on anyone in our — who we are held captive and anyone could believe that that’s not torture. It’s in violation of the Geneva Convention. It’s in violation of existing law…

In fact, Capricorns are definitly in for some major action with all the planetary activity they will experience this month and for years to come….

Capricorn-rising count?

well as long as you aren’t a capricorn CT living with a sagitarius, now that might be tricky

well as long as you aren’t a capricorn CT living with a sagitarius, now that might be tricky

Heh, being Virgo is touch and go…! 8-)

absolutely Capricorn rising counts, whatever house is ruled by Capricorn is where you will see the most amazing stuff…in your case, the first house of who you are…I will say right now you are in for some major changes personally and I would make certain I kept up with a good healthy lifestyle and learn to be more flexible so the changes are less…well…excrutiating

spidey, down to 39 down here. its a damp cold that goes right to my bones. long john time. how’s it up at your end of the bay?

CT, I learned from Spidey that I’m a Libra with my rising in the hermit crab – boy did that explain a lot about why i am such a stay home kinda person.

Suzanne, you didn’t perchance start that youtube war on your own blog this eveing, didja?

Very interesting since Saturn. Capricorns ruling planet, is in Virgo for the next 2 1/2 years…

34* and raw but then am in the shack with the heat on bundled into fleece

Romney peeved over landscaping flap
from LA Times
The candidate lashes out after a question about illegal members of a crew that worked on his yard.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney lashed out Friday when quizzed about the flap over a landscaping crew working at his home whose employees included illegal immigrants.

…are less…well…excrutiating!

Dang, I knew I should’ve stopped smoking and drinking…! Old Army habits are hard to kill… 8-(

Actually Suzanne, you have Scorpio rising – that means you have a Scorpion on the ascendant not a crab…better anyway for dealing with criminals and other types…

tex, ES and I had been chatting about doing it all week. we sorted out a bunch of the stuff here tonight tho including calling it the Wide Stance Protest Song UTube War

‘FORNO 1′ plates ready to hit the streets
from HoustonChronicle
The Texas Department of Transportation now agrees: “Fornos” means “furnace,” or it can be a place where Cardinal Daniel DiNardo dines — but it doesn’t mean “fornicate.” TxDOT mended fences with Armando Florido, owner of the Fornos of Italy restaurant, on Friday when department director Amadeo Saenz presented him with a “FORNO 1″ vanity license plate.

oh crap, see, spidey, I always screw it up. I know I have hermit crab and got it and Scorpio rising confused.

Well CT do it now or pay the price…there’s still time

I just love the word Flap and the image that comes with it

Tex, bet they do NOT issue a FORNO 8 plate

hello everyone

For the rest of betsy’s chosen news and blog posts, click here.

This has been a test of the emergency blogwhore system. had this been a real emergency, both of Betsy’s sites would have been listed.

welcome taurus with a leo rising…guess you know that your moon saves you from staring at your naval all day

Spiderpaws, what do you have for an aires who has no idea what’s rising and what’s falling.

Double virgo here, spidey. I’m in the last bits of a very rocky year. I’m hoping the next cycle brings a bout of change for the better. Along with my own actions to shuttle it along. (signing up for the Pharmacy Technician Boards next week! *dances* i WILL get that certification by February!)

doing well, MMan, having fun findng UTubes for my late nite posts give me a legitimate reason to get lost in the time machine they call the utube site.

Hah, the fire comes thru…

LOL tex

alias, fingers and toes crossed and lots of positive thoughts you meet your February goal (woohoo)

thanks, i love my aquarian energy. it’s great stuff

Awesome, Alias…! 8-)

great, and congrats on doing the posts. i limit myself on youtube, or else i would never leave

well you have my sympathy double virgo but lets look at the bright side, shall we? You now have Saturn times two helping you focus and find the needed discipline to do whatever it takes..for 2 1/2 years…so make hay while you have it…like having a mentor standing behind you urging you on and holding your hand.

Betsy- youre clever for being sleep deprived.
“This has been a test of the emergency blogwhore system. had this been a real emergency, both of Betsy’s sites would have been listed.”

I was doing so good, MMan. I stayed up all night playing around in the UTubes, playing all the songs on the list I had accumulated here when I was on dialup. After that, I was real good about limiting my time in there. Now, I have to get all deep and funky into UTube to find the good stuff.

I hear there is a 12 step program for UTube – its a set of 12 videos…

Betsy, am craving something crunchy and salty…got anything?

Thanks smapdi. Just not tired enough yet, and fairly uncomfortable. May take the other half of that darvocet and see if I can address both problems.

LOL on the 12 step video program. it’s really amazing what you can find there.

I might have one of those. He sorta snuck up on me as an old friend. ^^ Wants to see me out of this rut too. I hope everyone else makes use of that goodness too in some form or another.

Betsy, am craving something crunchy and salty…got anything?

I love salty crunchy snacks

Pretzels?

Trolls are crunchy but ya have to add salt otherwise they just taste like hot air.

Any luck with selling yet Suzanne?

Well Saturn isnt usually mr nice guy, believe me but if you need strength, he’s the guy

Let’s get lost in the heat of the moment…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU2IetBZ93Y

Well this moon in Taurus and Leo rising has a nicely stoked fire with the big logs for an all nighter.. Think I will pack it in before the utuberer calls my name again.

Hope you are doing better, texb.

Eureka! Great being here tonight!

night ET. I am much improved from Wednesday.

MMan, i’m officially off the market through the holidays. Needed some down time big time from having to keep the place perfect all the time and have been enjoying my dirty dishes immensely.

My St Josephs’s statute (a gift from tsf) is buried right next to the sign. The buyer will happen when it is meant to happen – but I’ve got 6 weeks off to gather up steam to start it all over again in January.

Youre in my thoughts, Betsy.

where’s the EDIT button? I meant ES, not ET! Oy!

ES, sleep well and am looking foward to doing battle with ya.

I could imagine the pressure of keeping it show ready. I’m glad to hear that you got st. joseph working on it. funny thing about that, i do know a couple people who did it and it worked.
