ES! Zedders!

Eureka! you have the coolest music.

Variety is my favorite spice..)

Good evening ES….

finally got all my to-do list that was started during the holiday weekend….. now need to get the energy to go to bed….

oh thank goodness. I just couldn’t quit that thread downstairs…hello ES and good nite!

thanks all you wonderful pups. what a day.

Heh, for an Ethiopian band there’s quite a few whiteys in it…! ;-)

Shovel Time so get you diggs in!

Whassup late-nighters?

GO OBAMA!

I had a weird start to a day with a long to do list.. It unexpectedly rained! Then, in the middle of the live blog excitement momma nature had the audacity to clear up. At least it was in time to put a major dent in the list.

Here’s some more good music.

I’ve been sitting at this computer almost non-stop for 19 hours. I’m cutting myself off, 86′d, outta here.

(I like the horns Eureka!)

Katymine, I’ve been amazed at your energy, You amaze!

Nahabt! Thanks for the Digg!

Catchy horns indeed. Glad you liked it!
g nite wdd

I either need to get shorter paper to write my job list on and have longer weekends to get it all done *g*

Had Bush been impeached, the testimony of low-lifes like Scott McClellan would have gotten the snowball rolling big time.

Aloha, dosido and Katy!

I always like the new music. I see it like discovering a new planet, that was orbiting right next door and I never saw it before. Such a great discovery!

Reminds me a little of Orchestra Morphine.

punaise jr. gave me a Budos Band disc for Xmas.

Scorpions? Do you like it?

I don’t get as much done as I used to…. but feeling like I am getting back to my pre-surgery self….. always have been a high energy person…. but if you looked at me….. still trying to work off the 20lbs I gained sitting around feeling sorry for myself after the surgery last October….. The best things is that I feel like I have my “grace” back…..

BTW…. today is Miss Dog’s 14th birthday….

funny

ES: great post as usual. if you comment at the safe house, it won’t show up until this morning when i crawl, whining piteously, out of bed and make it to my computer and see my email. will free it then and email you.

*poof*

pretty good grooves, but not too dynamic. I think they would benefit by adding vocals.

Thanks Al, I regi’d but didn’t have time to make into the spook machine yet. g’ nite

Well, Dana Colley, the sax player, played in Morphine, and Orchestra Morphine, so that might be a big part of it. I think the drummer played on one Morphine album as well.

Dowd gives Clusterfuck the ol acid pen treatment…at her best:

“Fast, Long Lasting relief for the Fierce Urgency of Now!”

I had to do a little investigative work to find the name of tonight’s song. DIscovered an entire series with some very interesting reviews.

How did W. start out wanting to restore honor and dignity to the White House and end up scraping all the honor and dignity off the White House?

It turns out that our president is a one-man refutation of Malcolm Gladwell’s best seller “Blink,” about the value of trusting your gut.

Every gut instinct he had was wildly off the mark and hideously damaging to all concerned.

It seems that if you trust your gut without ever feeding your gut any facts or news or contrary opinions, if you keep your gut on a steady diet of grandiosity, ignorance, sycophants, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, those snap decisions can be ruinous.

I left this for ya downstairs…

Glad to hear that! I’m thinking I should have him check out FDL. Would be a good fit I think. OK then, here’s a funny one from a house party…be sure to watch all the way through:

This is some sorry shit…

States Seek Delay in California Marriage Ruling

Concerned about the national ramifications of same-sex marriages in California, attorneys general from 10 states have asked the California Supreme Court to stay its decision legalizing the marriages, which are set to begin on June 17.
In a letter to the court’s chief justice, Ronald George, the attorneys general — all Republicans — asked that the marriages be put off until after the November election, when California voters are expected to vote on a measure that would ban same-sex marriages.

g’ nite katymine

Can we tell’em, to quote Antonin Scalia, “Get over it”?

They remind me of another Borough band with a big horn sound…Antibalas:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=JesQIJNboNk

peeking in the door to say Hi but Bye to everyone, interesting song ES. Since it’s horny, can I say fuck over here too?

naughty-nite and sweat dreams!

Goopers lickin their chops at the prospects of running on the same sex marriage issue again…but it’s gettin to be a worse issue for em every year…may be the last presidential race where they will be eager to make hay with it.

Dowd does club the idiot son of an asshole over the head with that barn burner.

-G

Somehow I can’t see being outrage about gay marriage while standing in line at the soup kitchen and getting ready to spend a night in a Bushville.

-G

Yes, you can. Hi Elliott..)

Good night! Have a great fucking evening!

So goopers will run on same sex marriage- the american tragedy- and higher taxes- the road to perdition capped with surrender in Iraq- the path of american emasculation.

Should be fun- catchy tunes.

When she is good, she is VERY, VERY good-and…..

They are good.

Here’s s’more good music :D

That Guy!
Loving your CD!

Seriously? I’m jealous.

Does Rev Wright embrace gay marriage?

Yea, saw ‘em a few years ago in a tiny club, and now they’ve had some success. I saw Budos Band came up in the “related” box at YouTube. Antibalas is a Brooklyn band, so it’s cool how a couple of younger hipster bands are helping keep that music alive.

Honk if you want to see Reverand Wright marry a gay illegal immigrant in Iraq.

did you have a link for that, rw?

yeah- I posted it at 31 above.

Just riffin’ off the previous thread. I know the pronunciation is different, but that name looks like Fuckit to me.

She’s right here.

Iran is so far from being off Bush’s and Israel’s table. Fucking insanity!

Honk(ey), you mean?

thanks–got it

The epitome of a fuckhead.

Perfect form for a bronze bust n the liberry.

One shot of tequila too many.

“Damn, Scalia’s ass tastes like… ass.”

Must have been the reaction to seeing this.

Remember the Busholes were claiming that he was going to start jumping in the polls.

Comedy gold.

How do you say guckert with your mouth full? /S

What the hell business is it of theirs what Californians do? And their concern over people coming here to get married and then going back to their states is equally silly. Article also mentioned out of state conservative groups trying to exert influence on what California does. Last time I checked, Californians weren’t going to South Carolina to give them grief over having a fairly perverted age of consent law (14 for boys, 16 for girls, guess equality hasn’t reached that state.)

Why does Mom always give me the tongue?

Bush practices lip-ups for his final visit to Saudi Arabia.

-G

All of this from the party who always screams for states rights.

I think he’s just really enjoying his Baby Jesus Butt Plug.

Brain bleach… Stat! 8-P

On that note, time to go fuck my pillow.

I know there’s some irony somewhere in that…! ;-)

For a month at least a couple of years ago, during Xmas, googling “baby jesus” yielded that as the number one hit.

Sent to ALL my friends!

Aloha, GSD!

State’s rights only matter when it comes to guns and oppressing minorities if you’re a Republican.

Gnite.

Definitely not up there anymore. Oh well, at least this one is still at number 3 for Jesus.

How’s that mangy varmint doing these days, Busted?

Do they make Prozac fer cats?

I visited a client last week – the house cat had ripped open the catnip toy and got into the good stuff, as it were.

It was sitting transfixed, staring into a 90 degree corner, and had been there since the day crew had arrived that morning. I arrived at 4:30 pm.

Speaking of varmints, I just about lost it here a few minutes ago.
I am laying here, watching the back and forth at the lake and My little baby is getting a little feisty, I roughed her up just fer fun and and all at once she runs over, gets up on her back legs and just pile drives the grouchy one!
She sits down, looks right at her and hisses, then walks of and strts licking her ass.
WTF?

Stoned out of her gourd, I gotta get some of that shit.

Heh, cats are like a box of chocolates…! ;-)

Oh Yuck lol…can we end the contest now? Busted, you’re funny.

Sounds like a cat to me… You just never know whats next with them!

I’m tellin ya, these two are a constant source of amusement.

Before I lost her, my cat used to chase what had to be imaginary ‘critters” up walls. I checked – no bugs, no light flashes. She was old, but she chased these critters nearly to the end.

Siamese?

Domestic snow-white longhair. Just a nice cat.

I’m toast, y’all have a good one, I’m going to tempt fate and try to move the grouchy one so I can go to sleep.
Where did I put those welding gloves?
8P

Good gawd… It’s impossible to make this shit up…

Bush Talks to Graduates About Redemption

Delivering the final commencement address of his tenure, President Bush told supporters and protesters at Furman University here Saturday that he was far from “a model citizen” when he left college but that “it is never too late to recover and get back on track.” […] “There is no shame in recognizing your failings or getting help if you need it,” he added. “The tragedy comes when we fail to take responsibility for our weaknesses and surrender to them.”

Aloha, BK!

The tragedy comes when we fail to take responsibility for our weaknesses and surrender to them.

Shit. It’s like he’s parroting his shrink!

It would be nice if he did take some semblance of responsibility… Well, hopefully the Hague will force him to…! ;-)

Well, I shall bid ya’ll a fond adieu! Aloha Oe!!!

Sadr sure seems to have changed his tatics

BAGHDAD, Iraq – An agreement between the United States and Iraq to allow U.S. troops to remain operating in Iraq past 2008 should be put to a popular referendum, Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr urged in an online message to his followers.

The message also calls for weekly protests against the agreement, being negotiated by the two governments.

Al-Sadr also called for “an organized media action” and “a unified political and parliamentary movement” to oppose the standards of forces agreement, which would replace the U.N. resolution that allows U.S. troops to operate in Iraq when it expires at the end of the year.

Al-Sadr’s Mehdi Army militia has frequently clashed with Iraqi and U.S. forces, most recently in Sadr City, a Baghdad neighborhood considered a Sadrist stronghold.

In the statement posted on a loyalist Web site, the popular cleric renewed his call for a timetable for the departure of U.S. troops and called for delegations to approach the United Nations, the European Union, the Arab League and other Iraq neighbors to discuss the agreement.

Protests against the agreement should be carried out after Friday prayers “until further notice or until the treaty is canceled,” al-Sadr said.

If the government rejects his call for a referendum on the agreement, al-Sadr will order his offices “to work on collecting millions of signatures opposing” it, the message said.

The United States and Iraq began negotiating the agreement this year but have not publicly discussed its contents except in vague terms.

Wexler, Waxman and Bonyers are not done with Impeachment yet. Scotty M gives the big I legs. They are bleeding and the faithful are fucking boxed. When the new power comes in they are up the creek… may more rats jump the sinking Neocaon ship.

Looks suspiciously like they found his price, and paid it.

That or he ran out of ammo.

Misspelled Conyers

I made that statement knowing full well that Mark or Dub will be in this weekend sometime and tell me how wrong I am. I’m sorry about that.
But it has a peculiar odor.

hard refresh

Maybe Iran (where he may very well be in exile) asked him to tone it down. I mean Israel may be about to do our very dirty work in re Iran..

When cats feel like they’ve been dissed, they need to reassert the pecking order. It must be some form of apprehension that causes this. At least, that’s my working hypothesis.

Goodnight, Bustednuckles.

Time for this old dog to turn in..

Good nite firedogs

nite eureka

Goodnight, ES.

Actually, I just dropped in to say hi, anyway. I’d been following the live blog on the DNC meeting, which appears to have been the half-assed thing anyone could have predicted who thought about it for a while. At least it’s over and everyone can get back to complaining about how awful and nefarious the other side is – actually, they couldn’t wait to accuse a Clinton supporter of faking her bruises, could they?

Just makes you proud to be a progressive, doesn’t it?

Anyway, I learned a couple of other things today:

* Wingnuts have even less fashion sense than I do.

* There are still lots of people left in this country who are smarter than I am. I’m very thankful for that.

I am filling up on the Mars photos. Can’t get enough.

nite pups

In light of Scott willing to testify before the congress why not introduce Articles of Impeachment of Cheney soonest.

Sweet dreams ES, newtonusr& all you sleepy pups.

More good wallpaper, eh?

Hi newspaperbrat. How are things? Sorry for the delay – I’m working on an article.

some great images :)

Seems like every Mars landing provides a whole new set of them. Each mission has better equipment and image processing software. The ones of the lander as it was descending that were taken by the orbiter are incredible, particularly when you realize that because Mars is so far away, that couldn’t have been done by remote control. Someone had to program the orbiter to take that shot in advance.

There, done. Musharraf’s days appear to be numered in Pakistan. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but the signs sure point that way.

Umm, that should be numbered. Thought I was typing too fast.

Morning all.

Good morning everyone.

Hi, Sunny -

Whut’s happenin’ over your way?

Good morning, pups. It’s MoDo, Friedman and Rich today. MoDo wrote about the “Cult of Deception,” and says that the former White House press secretary Scott McClellan reveals in his book that the president’s gut instinct is on a diet of ignorance, sycophants, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Mr. Friedman says “It’s All About Leverage.” When you have leverage, talk to your foes. When you don’t have leverage, get some. Then talk. Mr. Rich writes about “McCain’s McClellan Nightmare.” He says the American public views the old story of how the White House ginned up the Iraq war as a crime story, and we won’t be satisfied until there’s a resolution.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’m trying a new waffle recipe today, a risen waffle using yeast. The batter is largely made the night before, rises overnight, and has the eggs and some baking soda added in the morning. Let’s all be guinea pigs together! Have a great day.

Morning all.

Morning all. I feel productive this morning because I’ve already been out and done some yard work. It’s nice and cool this morning in Upstate New York. We did not have a frost overnight so everyone’s tomatoes are safe for another day.

Good morning all. Spent the morning watering the garden here in NH. Despite the rain yesterday it is still not enough for the fruit trees.
Soooooo is it all over, did she quit gracefully? Can we get on with the main bout now?

It remains to be seen if anything graceful will emerge. The NYT made it sound like a shouting, screaming hair-pulling mess. We’ll see what happens after Tuesday, I guess.

Marion, bring your experimental waffles and political opinions upstairs I want to hear what you though of Arthenia Joyner.
