Being here…………..

Aloha, ES!

Hey Eureka!

Neuro get the Digg open!!

Evening ES how are you doing this fine evening??

Hey everyone.. Hope you all like this youtube half as much as I do…)

very smooth

Quite well, thanks.

I rescued a roadrunner today… building up some good karma.

Good on ya, ES!

I have a theory about Larry Sinclair. It’s all just too convenient that he and LC Johnson are both named Larry, and both virulently attacking Obama. One’s a convicted felon and con artist, the other’s a former CIA dude. One claims to have polished Obama’s knob while high on coke, the other is a CIA dude. I smell a conspiracy.

are you knee-deep in “beep-beep”?

EPU’d

I have subscribed to The New Yorker for years and have always loved it. Since I started reading blogs *ahem* I haven’t found as much time to read it, but have usually managed to see some of every issue. I have always felt comfortable with their politics.

No more. That Obama cover is an outrage. Bad, bad idea. You can’t take those images back; they are out there. What in the world were they thinking?

I am cancelling my subscription and telling them why. I can’t just brush it off as satire that goes over the heads of right wingers. I think it will cause real damage.

Nice tribute, ES, but, still not as good as the original…! ;-)

Ok, you win a virtual Eureka Springs deluxe tin foil Borsalino hat award for that one. *g*

evening all. anyone else having trouble connecting to FDL?

Meep-Meep, Eureka!

Does it come with its own thorazine drip?

Always a good thing… Good Karma is very useful!

Nice. I could use some good karma myself. Still lickin’ my wounds from the illegal immigration melee this afternoon. I didn’t save a roadrunner today….but I didn’t hurt one, either. Does that count?

your wish is my command *g*

Just home from conferences in Anchorage and answering e-mails. I’m now mostly out in the garden, thinning beets. I’m going to try making beet green kimchee tonight.

Grasping the beep beep from jaws of Jesie Yazoo kitty’s victory.

sorry, nahant

I was busy republishing my EPU.

Is it safe to post the Digg in the comments now?

During the reign of every GOPer presidency, absolutely.

quick cat.

Beet greens are one of nature’s gifts! The best. The beets are nice, too.

Yep I been waiting for ya:>)

ET, when did you switch to your real name?

Did I miss a name change?

Aww, Dearie, I thought you held your own pretty well.. and that you all were pretty much arguing for the same things, just from different vantage points.

All forms of Kim-Chee are excellent, ET! Btw, did ya change your PJ’s?

What makes it green? DO you mean the cabbage part / ingredient?

OK, Digg away!

On a continent stolen through genocide from indigenous people, I never can understand how Europeans (and their descendants) end up calling undocumented folks “illegal”.

Of course, without the undocumented labor in our farms and fields, we’d quite literally starve.

Perhaps the European immigrants and their descendants are just trying to find a way to return the continent to the First Peoples.

Cat on sedatives.

Cool! Done!

Very quick, he catches about two a year.. never catches all of them. Nonetheless they are about two thirds his own size. Beautiful tail feathers.

I don’t know if I can handle all the change……lost that asterisk I watched for so fondly…
now the full name? I wonder, is it nice to just be who you are? I think it must be!

well at least Philip Munger doesn’t have any *w*s in it…

maybe Teddy started something

A trip through the back roads of old Mexico leaves little doubt about it.

Aww, the poor cat…!

The first peoples came from Asia. God love us all!

((( ES )))

Non- spoiler alert: Jon & Stephen are back … they tore it up tonight …

Mmmm … steamed with a bit of Butter drizzled on them …

Hola, Mi Amigo! Have you fired your publicist yet…? ;-)

Yep. Including the millions driven by NAFTA-induced starvation to come to El Norte for their very survival.

“Suffer the little ones to come unto Me.”

ET no mas?

Thanks for the reminder. They’ve been vacationing while the rest of us are practicing our stay-cationing.

The Leafy part above the Beets are called “Beet Greens”

Hey Petrocelli, I was thinking about how they might handle the New Yorker cover brouhaha. I just don’t watch much television in the Summer season.. forget all about it.

((((ES)))) ((((Petrocelli)))

Who are their guests tonight?

I’m supposed to have a Publicist ? *g*

… getting close my friend …

Correction: the first peoples came from the heart of Africa. The ‘native americans’ came from Asia. My family came from Europe — well after the conquering and slavery…..and running from poverty. Cut me some slack!

All those years of raising beets, I never heard one person suggest eating their greens.. and I was a vegetarian for years. (many years ago)

(((npb)))

No hurry, the NEXT Marley fest isn’t coming up any time to soon…! 8-P

ET Philip must have gone back out to tend his garden

TDS: Andrew Ward – surprisingly good

Colbert: Anheuser Busch – you have to watch it to understand …

((((( npb )))))

Dearie, the term “first peoples” is common;y used to describe indigenous people.

Given your choice to describe to describe undocumented people as “illegal”, I won’t be accepting your pointers on terminology.

If you want slack, quit pushing racist/nativist memes.

OMG … that’s the best part – steamed with a Pat of Butter … heavenly !

Beet tops (greens) are wonderfully sweet and delicious. Just cook ‘em up in a little touch of water and do what Petrocelli said: a little drizzle of butter. So, so wonderful!

It’d better be soon, my patience is dwindling …

Excellent, a new dish and less compost..) Beet greens! Sounds like a good name for a band.

G’nite pups – off to inscribe teh kittehs names in some fresh concrete…thoughtfully provided by those evil brown people, who spent the better part of the day turning dangerously tilted paviing into a safe sidewalk.

Paw prints included…? Aloha, Doc!

Take the gang a Tecate, Kirk. Enjoy.

G’nite Kirk … those brown folks work too hard … makes us look bad ! /s

Thanks for the head’s up on those guests…and da hug!

So who among you fine late late firedogs are heading to Austin & Netroots Nation?

Undocumented. Not legal. I’m confused. Fern made it clear that I can’t just move to Canada and settle in because I want to. My Mexican friends make it clear that it would not be a good idea to simply move to Mexico and settle in because I might want to. I doubt I could move to the Eurphates Valley and settle in as a daughter of Eve. Or move happily to Jerusalem and claim residence as a daughter of Jesus. I don’t find it all that confusing. But, hell, I’m a lawyer and try to follow the rule of law. I’d like to find a way to bring workers into the citizenry so that no one could disparage them That’s just me. Make your own choices.

newtonusr, I wanted to tell you I downloaded firefox 3 and YouTubes play so much better now. The new address bar is weird. I haven’t spent anytime surfing other parts of the web on it. But one quick use of the FF bookmarks sure made me miss them upon returning to safari.

Loo Hoo is going, not sure about any others …

me me me me me!!!!

Cool, ES. I’m back at 2.0.0.15, as 3.x is a bit twitchy for me. But Safari, as stable as it is, has less goodies. No argument.

Wow, “pushing racist/nativist memes” is a heavy hit. I’m not about to research what is purported to be behind that; instead, I’ll extend the presumption of innocence.

Does Firefox let you use Digg? It gives me trouble when I try to submit a new article to Digg.

I like safari’s vivid graphics to read many sites with, but, I much prefer FF for posting to my site and doing my research for it…! Safari does not provide the same ease of jumping from tab to tab…

Niters Kirk – always a pleasure to “see” you. My cat St. Francis, who is woefully mis-named, brought us a terrified but unharmed little tree rat, during our dinner tonight. She is so grounded this evening.

you sure she didn’t bring it to you “for” your dinner tonight?

Food for thought on Net neutrality up in Canada: http://www.thestar.com/sciencetech/article/459502

We’re all wearing the Gumby suit these days.

Well, I am on mac, so there may be some variations. And I haven’t spent time on fdl or digg with it, yet. Will do it soon and report in with updates..)

Once I settle in with current bookmarks etc., it’s hard to switch.

lol npb!~ What a vignette!

good night firepups. my little house guest is snoring quietly on the couch. :) time for me to follow suit

nite betsy

Net Neutrality will be ruled illegal, Bell is already catching a lot of flak …

((((( Betsy )))))

Wishing you a sound, restful sleep !

Aloha, Betsy, Pain Free sleep wishes…!

thanks y’all

nite Betsy!

Thanks. for a moment there I thought I was back in Houston being accused of being a papist. Jeez….as one says. And am I just the most naive 60+ year old or what? When I click on Kirk’s name I get rounded back to firedoglake rather than to a site. Is he a big FDL mucky-muck and I didn’t know it? What’s up with that. And, bowing, curtseying and all that…..sorry to offend by speaking my mind.

great question (the 2nd one)

I’d better get to bed as well … G’nite all !

That is exactly what I am afraid of. Without it the internet will now longer function the way it was originally intended for .. Open collaboration with no fetters… This throttling shit should be outlawed as when you pay for a service there are expectations on the speeds you should get… Not limited because the big owners of the backbone don’t want new innovations that might take away revenue streams they already have… Does it sound anything like Monopoly??

Please don’t sweat it. Twitchy moods are profligate these days.
We sometimes jump with both feet when we should tip-toe.

Que? I’m not sure, but that’s probably going to be my screen name here for a while.

You’ll know more tomorrow.

Ed*ward Teller

LOL – its possible she brought us dinner but unlikely. She clearly loves to torture mrbrat and remind him of her hunting prowess regardless of when we have dinner. My son rescued her from a local punk band house who “rescued” her from the SPCA. He dropped by to tell them his band had a gig in Austin and noticed they had just shaved her lovely long tail and she was flipped out. He tucked her in his jacket and she has been with us ever since. Ironically, Suz and I are fairly convinced she is the sister of her cat. Both were rescued & came from the same animal shelter at the same time frame and could be twins. ;~)

Gotta watch out for those twins, though. I’m the pinko-commie-liberal and my twin brother is the neocon. How in the hell did that happen???

different life experiences?

ANyone know what time the hearings start tomorrow? Senator Dorgan will be here at 8 or 10 am as well.

FDL a senator a day. crazy.

Whoops .. Senator Levin @ 8 am

Levin @ 11 eastern Tuesday, according to Marcy.

You got the good genes…? ;-)

It’s interesting……endlessly! We all grew up in the same home ….. but my sister and I are liberals and bro is way neocon. Mom was liberal/dad was conservative ….it was a zoo! We are all fiscal conservatives but sister and I are people people. Brother, not so much! Families are fascinating.

Excellent.. 8 am sounds painful for a nite owl like me who needs to get to the Tuesday farmers market before hearings if possible.

5 AM here in the Isles… I’ll read the comments later…!

LOL! All I can think of is the old adage – shit happens.

Sweet dreams one and all. poof…………

Aloha, npb!

nite npb

In 2005 (approx) the Bush administration created the Office of Recontrucion and Stabilization and was tasked and made detailed PLANS to destroy and rebuild 25 countries like what they did in Iraq. Like whay CENTCOM designed in attacking Iraq but with recontruction added.
This is a fucking war business plan to destroy countries, false flag or not, with private contractors ready to go. From Schock Doctrine, Naomi Klien page 381. Yes there is a plan ready for McSame.

Heh, you should at least preview, before you submit, BB! I agree with ya 100%…!

And the frightening part of this is that there are Americans who think this is a verrrrry good idea. Damn.

And a plan for us..

“Middle class drowning in a bathtub.” – Grover Norquist

I sure wish some reporter would make McCain renounce denounce and all around pounce on Norquist.. then explain how he is any different, with specifics.

Looking at Loyalists and Land Settlements NS. Were your Tuttles at Wentworth Twsp, Cumberland?

Didn’t you get the memo?
Phil Gramm is McCain’s economic adviser.
Oh, wait…

Heh, Colbert swigging some piss water… err… a Budweiser…!

exactly

Norquist is wallowing in his sludge. He’s pretty darned content about how it’s all working out.

Sounds like it’s right, Pugwash and Wallace Bay were where they settled… I believe Wentworth is nearby…

What a team he’s assembled!
And punked mercilessly last week by the one person who could help him scoop up Hillary supporters. Gotta love it.

I am reading Shock Doctrine at this very moment (I read when the comments get slow) but I am only to page 280

It is infuriating

why do Republicans hate the middle class?

McSame couldn’t handle such gyrations. He would just melt down.

Did you see the video where he was asked about birth control parity with Viagra?

I was nearly frothing while I read the book. I don’t think I’m over it yet.

OK, pups, I’ll try this, ET’s recipe:

Beet kimchee:

6 cups beet greens with tiny beets, chopped rather randomly
4 tablespoons kosher salt
6 scallions, chopped rough
3 cups loose cabbage leafs
4 garlic cloves
1/3 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons chili paste

clean, drain and cut beets.
sprinkle salt over beets
let sit 4 hours, unrefrigerated
rinse salt from beets and drain
mix beets, scallions, cabbage, garlic and chili in non-ferrous (glass) bowl
tamp ingredients
pour icy water over ingredients until covered fully
let sit until it begins to ferment
clean any scum off the top
when it looks like it might start to bubble and smells sweetly musty, clean the top of the mix, pack in small sealed containers, top off with cold water and refrigerate.

ET

Preview indeed, your right CT. I came from an anti-government conservative family…am not such. But this has to shock the conscience of any moral sensible citizen.
Office of Recontrucion and Stabilization and was tasked and made detailed PLANS to destroy and rebuild 25 countries like what they did in Iraq
Dearie it may be that a lot of people think it is a good idea, however a poll would show most Americans would not approve.
The PNAC, AIPAC and Neocons who are not in a majority by any means do..it comes from their think tanks.
My point is I cannot believe what this country is sponsoring in the name of God, Flag and Country. I mean if it were a novel no one would even xonsider publishing such insanity. It is a Roman Empire model!

They don’t just hate the middle class. They hate anyone who isn’t the 1% that they are. the lowly Repub voters on the bottom are nothing but a yuck to the leaders. They just don’t know it.

Did you see the video where he was asked about birth control parity with Viagra?

Captured it in real-time-
You can just feel the wheels turning – “Where the fuck is my Lieberman?”

I can only handle a few pages at a time. Not that it isn’t very readable. It’s just hard to contain the rage.

I don’t know.. it’s so self defeating in the long run.

But as Ian says, they won already. Though I suspect Grover and his ilk still hear gurgling sounds..

The video was hysterical !!

I think the two Naomi’s books (Klein and Wolf) resonated with me last year, up until today, more than any others.

I’m not sure ol’ Short Ride could handle that one, either.

See, the irony — bitter irony — is that the neocons are not the least bit conservative. they are dangerous radicals. But they have the media in their grasp. Fear has been a real driver with these psychopaths — I’m afraid we’d all be surprised by how many people will give them their way. (Look at the Congress…..shocking.) I am not sure we will ever get our country back.

There is a long waiting list at the library. I hope more people resd this before the election. I do think repulicans base has to rethink putting McSame in the whitehouse. People like John Dean certainly would not but how would they deal with the facts revealed by Naomi Klien and her staff?

Reconstruction…! Yes, it does shock my conscience…! Remember that was while Rummy and Darth still ran the Pentagon… Darth is still there, but, sidelined for now…

Newton you have some music working it’s way through the tubz enjoy

Oooooo! New music!
Thanks dude

Exactly for me, I have to digest the revulsion, regain my equilibrium and getr recentered. The Suin post yesterday had the same effect. I love my country but not what this administration has done in her name.

WOW! Is that your girl? Some pipes!

That’s it for me. Nite, folks.

BB & Neuro… I feel the same way, I can’t understand why the Dems are letting them get away with destroying the country I so love and had so many hopes for… I just hope it can all be fixed and the conservative assholes the engineered this mess are all put behind bars for the rest of their lives. Leavenworth would be much to nice for them … something along Abu Grab would be more like it with it’s attendant atrocities just for them.

Feeling the long strong row today got to let the growth (natural from the exercise) hormones kick in with some tissue building sleep. Good night and thanks for the discussion. War, recession, more homeless all can be solved hope Obama has the staff. Richard Clarke is a good advisor…he needs a lot of really good people to pull it off. He better start being honest.

Turning in myself

g’ nite fabulous firedogs

nite neuro, bb
nite eureka

It’s not just what they’re doing to our country, as important as that is. It’s what they are doing to sovereign nations all over the world, using crises to cram cookie cutter “free market capitalism” down their throats at enormous human cost. That’s what Klein is writing about.

Gotta go.

night all… sleep well and there is still hope … the youth have been brought into the political process and they may yet see that this country reaches it’s rightful place as a beacon of freedom for the rest of the world to emulate … night pups:>)

nite nahant
love this piece

more on the way…large files so be patient….

bring them at your leisure!

. I love my country but not what this administration has done in her name.

Take heart with Twain’s words…

“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.”

-Mark Twain

Aloha, ES, neuro and any I missed…! ;-)

Aloha, nahant…

Looks like AOL wants me to send them one at a time…will do so just be patient…your ears will approve…

No grants to anyone shown at Pugwash or Wallace Bay… maybe Wentworth Twsp was it. Don’t have the Church Maps for that part of the world to hand.

Have Daniel in NY, 1783 (signed a memorial to Gen Carleton seeking land). Then John, Peter, Stephen jr & William, in 1803, each granted 500 ac at Wentworth Twsp, Cumberland. Larger than average grants. That’s it for Tuttle. Their origins aren’t shown – most in the area from Westchester, NY.

Glad you found my note, which I failed to address to anyone (blush). Must have been a year since I offered to check that out.

I think I’m a direct descendant of William, I believe, the Foster’s also made the same trek, and they’re well intermingled with the Tuttle’s…! ;-)

This book chronicles my family… The Valley of the Remsheg… Here’s another link…

The reunion of descendants of Loyalists who settled the Remsheg Grant (Wallace and area, Nova Scotia) in the mid 1780s following the American Revolution will be held in Wallace, June 28 through 30, 2008, at the Wallace and Area Museum, to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the arrival of the Remsheg Loyalists in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia!

Sounds like we’re definitely on the same sheet of music, Sunny…! ;-)

Stephen Tuttle was colorful!

Finally, in 1777, General Benedict Arnold threatened to have him hanged.

rather ironic, eh…? Btw, his sabre is hanging on the wall in my family homestead…! ;-)

Great piece of history

i’m out
nite tuttle, pups

Heh, little did I know when I asked to ‘play’ with it…! It was cool… and the old musket…! ;-)

Aloha, newt!

Great history Brother CT…interestin family…has the rest of yer family gone thru some “changes” in their politics?

Which ones? The American or Canadian half…? ;-) Myself, I’m a lentil stirring lefty…!

In Cumberland is:
Forsner(sic), Andrew and
Foster, William.
Both from Westchester, 200 acres each at River Remsheg, 1785.

Other Fosters at Halifax, Shelburne and Guysborough. No
origins shown.

Forshner, did become Foster… You’ve definitely nailed it down…!

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

hello folks,

still jet-lagged from my stateside visit (got back as far as Frankfurt friday morning). had three days in Chicago. heard the Grant Park Orchestra at Frank Geary’s Millinneum Pavillion rehearse and play John Adams’ “Slonimsky’s Earbox”, rode a segway (a lot of fun!) and visited with son and grandson in Bend, Oregon. recommended: the Diamondstone B&B near Lapine. absolute quiet, clean air, great birdwatching from your bedroom window and a fantastic breakfast (”German Pancakes” with really crisp bacon was the favorite of both my friend Friederike and me). the host will cater to you very graciously.
i’m with neurophius on the really stupid New Yorker stunt. i fired off an email which ended with: i guess a column by Don Imus will be their next bit of satire.

Great posts while I was searching indices ;-) Off to follow your links.

nite

Attaturk is upstairs!
“He’s bordering on arrogance”

I go for Maceo
