Jane!

If I was a guy I’d probably be just about as insulted by this article on “The Angry White Male” that Jill highlights.

When I step in dogshit I usually just scrape it off and move on.

Video via Feministing in honor of Charlotte Allen and the Washington Post, who can all kiss my ass.

Be careful what you wish for Jane… you just never no :>)

I agree with that one busted….

So I should quit responding to those “Single Seventh Day Adventist” ads that I get spammed with?

but it’s so much fun….

Apparently I did, and I tracked it in so everybody left.

Where is everybody today?

jayt, I thought you were spoken for.

jayt, I thought you were spoken for.

me? Hell, I’m not sure I’m even spoken *about*……..

Heh, I seem to recall his feeble efforts with Val and Rachel…! Bwhahaha…!

I think it’s a fundie religious thing. Wanting the woman to obey her husband and all.

I heard a JDL speaker a few years back tell about a Walmart in the south whose manager had a thing for hiring pregnant white women. They’d come back to work and pretty soon they were pregnant again. Turns out they were trying to out baby by race…

I’ve been campaigning!

Wanting the woman to obey her husband and all.

I wish mine did, more often, at least…! ;-)

hey now - I was *this* close with Val - I just never expected that Joe Wilson would be reading that day.

Who could ever have anticipated….?

If only the web had flow charts, to determine what fool crapped out what and who zinged aforementioned fool. I start clicking back and then forget what I was outraged about, except to realize there are more primates typing than Shakespeare would ever need.

Props also go out to Nancy Pelosi for calling on McCain to dump the Hagee endorsement:

Dreams are a wonderful thing…! *g*

McCain can’t dump this endorsement. It would destroy him and hell will freeze over before he does - IMO.

The repug nomination is secured… Time to tact left…! 8-(

So I should quit responding to those “Single Seventh Day Adventist” ads that I get spammed with?

but it’s so much fun…

I haven’t gotten those yet..I only get the blue and beige pills..Seventh Day Adventists are very healthy; are they “Cute”?

I am glad, however, that Nancy called him out on it. BIG signal to Catholics.

True, A spine, perchance…? At least, Hoyer has delayed FISA…! *g*

OT but I cannot help but note the death of Eve Carson, the young lady killed in Chapel Hill this morning. She is from here in Athens. This was an extraordinary young woman, class president at UNC, pre-med and a complete delight. There is much trouble in the world but this loss is especially tragic.

BTW, I love the fact that Jello Jay hasn’t any of his Repug friends backing him up in the Conference Committee’s Meetings on FISA…! *g*

No, Mitch, Scottish Haggis, Hoekstra, Davis, etal… Thank God, for small miracles…! 8-)

.Seventh Day Adventists are very healthy; are they “Cute”?

You’ve heard of “an acquired taste”? Let’s say that I’m still waiting for that possibility. I think maybe it’s the bat-shit crazy aspect that is holding up the whole process…

They *do* shock pretty easily - I find that to be kinda cute - and a whole buncha fun.

Ladies First

I’m pretty sure the graphic is actually clipped from the larger crowd-scene graphic that appeared in the print edition. I can make sure when I get home. The Post website may be responsible for putting it up there, but they didn’t just pull it out of nowhere; so I’d say the print edition people are actually responsible for that.

what conference committee meetings? didn’t mcconnell object when reid proposed them?

Raven @ 23

My condolances. Very big loss. Thanks for sharing it
Jim C

Which is why we need to hang it around his neck at every opportunity.

Good for you!

Yes’m, Duly noted and scolded, I was gonna put the Con Com in Quotes…! *g*

It is a sad tale, indeed, Raven…! 8-(

I’m careening between depression and serious anger.

didn’t mean to scold! i haven’ been reading any news since lunch time and who knows what could have happened since then.

(((raven)))

saw The Leoni was in Vietnam ,trying to bring awareness to the agent Orange problem for kiddies…sad ,sad good on her….and for Hillary at 3 am…Do you know where your Bill is?

That’s dreadful, and such an awful loss. Chapel Hill creates wonderful doctors, and we’ve lost a future leader. Such a sadness.

jeeze, what a waste.
This kind of thing always saddens me because of the potential of a bright individual being snuffed out.
Tragic.

Toni?

argh!@#$%^&@#$%^ER%^….replace every gun with a switchblade,and lower the murder rate overnight imo

No bitches here- but some interesting numbers- (unfortunately they are from Rasmussen)

Eight states with 97 Electoral Votes are either a pure Toss-Up or just slightly leaning to one party or the other. These are likely to be the early battleground states of Election 2008: Florida (27), Ohio (20), Virginia (13), Missouri (11), Colorado (9), Iowa (7), Nevada (5), and New Mexico (5).

I can see her as a little girl at the folk society dances running around like mad!

I took a nap…zzzz, but I’m back now..

sorry Tea

http://afp.google.com/article/.....arR2z20kEg

Sounds right about the battleground states. This tells us which states our eventual candidate needs to win.

Any suspects? Sounds like an execution almost. Horrible crime and what a loss…

Survey USA did polls in all 50 states.

The takeaway lesson is that this race will be close! I don’t like hearing how we will win in a blowout. The Electoral College is not our friend.

OT but important — I just got a call from the ACLU regarding FISA. They patched me through to my Congresscritter’s line so I could leave a voicemail for my DINO. I told the nice lady who called that, given my critter, it might be an exercise in futility. She said she’d been hearing that a lot. I also said to patch me through and I made a plea for the 4th Amendment. Has anyone else gotten a call like this? WTG, ACLU!

I did some research, pulled weeds and did some letter writing on behalf of human trafficking to my elected officials *g* Had to do something positive as all this campaign stuff has gotten way too negative.

Don’t know, we’re pretty far from Chapel Hill here. We’re following it as well as we can.

That is why they should run together or we could well end up with Prezdinent McSame.

i think it is the abject SECRECY of this regime,that makes me so very nervous and uneasy

replace every gun with a switchblade,and lower the murder rate overnight imo

There was a sci fi series of books that had that law, the Darkover books. It made for an interesting society…

brava jane!

remember not too long ago that people went to college, not for a degree, but for a husband with one? well, some of them are journalists.

when i hear ’feminist movies’, i always wonder why people leave this one out-i always immediately think of

crimes of the heart.

women thinking they’re doing what they want while constrained, then breaking free, not realizing they weren’t free and whole, because they were doing what they thought they wanted, then reordering their lives after facing what was holding them back…….and moving on.

a total delight of a movie, i laugh and laaugh and laaaaaugh every time i see it.

diane keaton, jessica lange and sissy spacek playing the three sisters.

everyone should see this movie. and remember the time period when it came out.

it was a play.

raven, so sorry about eve carson………so sorry…….a few years ago, one of my friends was murdered by someone that knew her, that she helped, but had a skitzo attack, a legitimate one, so, noone to blame really….professor, community leader, hands on kind person, even did her own roofing for years……..amazing person, like eve sounded amazing, too……..still forget she’s gone. i drove by her houses last time i was home, she rehabbed victorians and turned them into apartments, created a whole historic neighborhood, started back in the 70’s………rented to gays and blacks back when noone else would.

she rode an old-fashioned bicycle around the neighborhood, when she drove, it was an old barracuda.

they’re making a monument for her in the park with a bicycle and water.

i drove over for all of the memorial services and then to pennsylvania for the funeral.

was damn hard. she was really loved by many.

hope they find a way to honor eve that helps her family and friends get through it. let us know.

Yes

It takes a bit of time to re-adjust to presidential politics and that dear old electoral college.

When one considers that you still need to take Florida or Ohio or some other swing states to win- one can see why wise dems are stickin close to the middle of the road—get in the left lane and they’ll run ya off the road there.

Two female college students killed by GSW in as many days..odd.

Yea, I cannot imagine how they are coping.

That was the first thing I thought, Auburn to Chapel Hill, could it have been the same person? They are saying no.

Raven–

Indeed it is sad to hear of the loss of such a young life. i wish nothing but peace to her family.

i soooooooooooo tired of the argument,guns dont kill people…let me run away from a knife weilding crazy anytime,before id have to outrun a bullet

Me too. The premise was that any weapon that acted beyond the reach of your arm was illegal. No slingshots either. You had to get up close and personal to kill or wound someone. What a concept….

hey blunt objects,silk stockings etc,etc….give me some odds please

and can anybody tell me what HAND GUNS are used for except piercing human flesh

Whatever is nearby, MacGyver…! *g*

I guess I’ll skip the gun control argument tonite.

nope, your preaching to the choir

Be Nice…! ;-)

KO Time… And Hill is at Bat…! *g*

There are societies with that still intact too, i’d think. Not just a scifi concept. Japan has it’s love of gun culture, but really has very few guns as a whole on the entire set of islands. They romanticize it, but gun murders are rare. Granted, you see your share of knife related crime but that’s a given in a place with as many people crammed into a tiny space.

I just find it interesting the way they use it to romanticize the violence of it, but the guns aren’t the main weapon of choice either. Stylize it, play with it, have some crazy ass fictional characters with it. Otherwise, most that own guns are the SDF(Self Defense Force), or the crooks that get them in other ways. And it still doesn’t stop the citizens from defending themselves by other means.

One of those interesting points of views society wise that makes me go back and look, and look again.

ot - I’ve been struggling with the flu since mid Feb, so I just drop in for a few minutes at a time. I don’t know if this has been covered, but the Carlyle group is having some credit problems….hmmm…maybe the economy will finally get some attention?

Carlyle Fund Misses Margin Calls

By JULIA WERDIGIER
Published: March 6, 2008

LONDON — A fund linked to the private equity firm Carlyle Group became the latest investment firm to run into trouble amid deteriorating credit markets when it said on Thursday that it failed to meet some margin calls and had received a notice of default.

And once again, I feel just awful about that.

Poor crooks guys…

She praised McCain again ? What is going on? What is her lifetime of experience? I’m not being a smart ass, i really want to know and also what is the commander and chief threshold??????

Raven, recently on my blog I did a post about Glenn Beck who said the only way to stop college campus massacres is for every student to carry a gun while on campus. I went batshit crazy with rage, of course, and was then told by a neocon in the comments that gun safety classes make us safe because the person is less apt to go out and shoot someone because he/she has a respect for the gun. I said in response, “Uh ha. I see. Dumbass!”.

Japan has it’s love of gun culture, but really has very few guns as a whole on the entire set of islands. They romanticize it, but gun murders are rare.

The UK is very similar… Much of the Commonwealth, too…!

I cannot believe that Clinton would say these things.

The one person I look up to most, was my grandmother. She’s been gone almost a quarter of a century. By God, now there was a feminist. I loved that woman so. We are coming up on the anniversary of your passing Grandma. And there’s not a day goes by I don’t think about at least one of the lessons you taught me. You weren’t just a woman, you were an individual. That’s what I admire about you most.

Archie Bunker wanted to arm all plane passengers.

Everyone should carry TWO guns- in case the first one doesn’t work.

I like Florida’s law in which if someone makes you FEEL threatened- ya can blow em away. One shouldn’t be required to be rational in order to drill someone.

that’s beautiful, kiddo *g*

Heh, words are being exchanged…!

I was just sitting here pondering that…well, by throwing McCain a few bones, it will be harder for him to attack her personally down the road…it will make him look like “mean”…she’s setting him up by disarming him first…keep your enemies close. JMHO

This has to stop. is she really going to throw it to McCain? So she can run in 2012.

What is her lifetime of experience?

i really want to know and also what is the commander and chief threshold??????

well, according to the clip KO just showed, Hillary says it was sleeping next to Bill when *he* got phone calls…

I have no dog in this hunt—I’m an Edwards gal—but I’m getting really pissed off at Clinton for the crap that she and her lackeys are trying to pull.

As KO said, is she a LIEberman Dem. or a McCain Repug?

“What separates Hillary from Lieberman”? KO

Clinton: no do-overs, no caucuses; seat the delegates as is

wow

Nah.

Please defend her Clinton folks…please

Keith seems incredulous at the Clinton campaign’s comparison of Hillary Clinton to Ken Starr…

Obama needs to unload on these slimeballs.

good grief, this is way out of control now.

She has people comparing her to Lieberman!!

Same mentality. *shaking head*

He compared Obama to Starr.

defend the indefensible?

HRC is becoming completely unhinged. As is our party. She is the new lieberman and Huckabee simultaneously.

KO seems pretty pissed off in general at the Clinton campaign…

even Richard Wolffe (sp?) says it’s getting hard to tell Hillary from Lieberman.

But of course…! The bulk of the pledged would be her’s… With, MI voting 40% ‘uncommitted’… interesting…!

KO says, “OK, into the back room or the courtroom” re: Florida and Michigan

You know, I just didn’t want to go there!

People, this is Keith Olberman. Wake up.

that was Wolfson, Clinton’s mouthpiece.

I’m sitting here shaking my head, just unbelievable

you are correct, of course

See me at #83…typical Clinton strategy…she’s creating a wall that McCain will have difficulty getting over…and trying to keep Obama down.

I’m an Edwards gal too but have chosen Obama to go the distance. He’s the only breath of fresh air left in the field.

This makes no sense to me at all
