re: Johhny Bravo

the best dayam peach pie i’ve ever eaten. jambalaya. fresh motz on the salad. humus. fruit torte with custard base. brownies with chocolate chip chunks in em.

I left stuffed and then went to the grocery store and bought wine, chocolate, cheese and chips. Now I am reading a book on drugs in America. Funny, they haven’t mentioned anything about food yet.

ummm… well I knew that *one* of us hasn’t been around much late(ly)

It’s entirely possible that it may have been me.

i know i am forgetting some food. chicken wings. vanilla ice cream. a homemade italian bread. not to mention the 12 year old single malt.

Been good. Helping my baby girl with her baby boys…..little identicals are such a riot! And still adjusting to being early-retired when our Guvernator trashed the CA workers compensation system. I didn’t take to being outplaced easily…..I was NOT ready to be unemployed. It’s been an interesting couple of years. Kids and grandkids make up for it.

That would be so nice Margot. I have a vacation planned soon, and a trip to Paris for two weeks in October. Let’s talk. Any other OH Pups?

so does this mean that when nahant does another meetup this october, you will be there?

he fucked up my workers comp and left me high and dry.

bastoid (spitting)

Oh, Suz, I hope your work comp didn’t get screwed! Are you doing okay in god’s greener country?

We need to have a meetup closer to the middle. Like in SF or Berkeley or Rancho Cordova.

mary – shorter drive to sac than the bay area for me (hint hint)

i’m doing ok dearie thank you for asking.

oregon and i get alone very well. laid back and i swear, they have the nicest people everywhere.

Single malt, ummmm. Lemme guess, emerson came…

bingo. emerson is a great guy – had a lotta fun chatting (and he left the bottle behind)

I’ll certainly try. Is there a beach near by?

got a pocket-full of quarters with nothing better to do than spend ‘em.

Steve Earle (with whom I also sound fan-fucking-tastic when singin’ along in the car)(’course, you pretty much may have to take my word on that). heh.

appears to be both from the bad old days when he was addicted to more things than not, but hey – cool song….

My other girl lived in Corvallis for a couple of years. Got to know a young writer who just published his first novel: Northwest of Normal. A good read….go get it…..espiecially if you like fishing. He also wrote a book about fishing for steelhead. John Larison. Writing teacher at Oregon State U. I read his new book and just got such a sense of Oregon. Nice.

beaches all around dood – closest is less than 20 miles from nahant.

one of my fav steve earles is copperhead road. something about that song.. and the bagpipes…

corvallis is about an hour south and an hour east from where i live. big university presence there. still a nice town tho – kinda like eugene north

We could have a meet up at my house any time. Larue could come, too. There are more folks in sac but right now I cannot remember who. There was someone from FairOaks but my brain is foggy.

well – here ya go:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc86_Weoye0

in general, I detest videos, but can’t figure out any other way to get music put up here. This vid’s ok though. (and I have no problem with straight concert vid’s)

i’m pretty fried too. all that driving and then the meetup and forgetting to keep track of time – almost was late tonight. realized the time with less than 10 minutes to spare (laughing).

Still searching for a new set of roomies, but at least i’ve got a couple more week’s leeway set up. This is bloody well insane.

BREAKING NEWS
Venezuela is beset this weekend by rumors of a possible conspiracy or coup which have NOT yet been commented upon by official sources although they have been denied by the pro-government website Apporea.org and state-owned VTV commentator Mario Silva. Reports from across the country speak of repeated electricity blackouts and disastrous telephone connections with Internet connections often reduced to 2-3 Kps. There is NO official clarity as to who is in charge. Much of the government administration appears to be in the hands of civil servants who allegedly only pay lip service to President Hugo Chavez. A well-placed source says that true Chavistas and even lukewarm socialists are practically non-existent in this weekend’s political crisis. VHeadline is seeking further clarifications which we hope to bring to the attention of our readers as soon as possible this weekend as events unfurl.

http://www.vheadline.com/main.asp

Might be a coup.

In a filing with U.S. regulators on Friday, Halliburton did not discuss the amount owed, but said it invested a total of $265 million in Venezuela as of the end of June and had $400 million of surety bond guarantees outstanding relating to its operations in the country.

http://www.reuters.com/article…..9320090724

Darth is involved funny he will do business with Hugo I thought he hated him?

“Peter Munk, the chairman of Barrick Gold, the world’s largest gold mining operation, publicly denounced the governments of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and of Evo Morales in Bolivia, declaring that he would prefer to work with the Taliban than revolutionary governments in Latin America”

http://www.handsoffvenezuela.o…..nduras.htm

The company is called Barrick Gold.

The operation is planned by a multi-national company, one of whose
members is
George Bush Senior.

The Usual Suspects?


Board of Directors
U.S. Senator John McCain, Chairman
Ranking Member, Senate Committee on Armed Services
Peter T. Madigan, Vice Chairman

http://www.iri.org/board.asp

What do you want to bet the IRI was involved and that means John McCain? Obama needs to shut them down! He decides American Foreign Policy not a bunch of Rich White Guys!

As of 2:32 am Seattle time no confirmation or even rumors of a Coup except from VHeadlines who I link to at my 77.
No mention of this on Google News which is weird because normally if you google Hugo or Venezuela you get an article from VHeadlines in the links.

The army in Honduras would never have made this coup without ASSURANCES that America would talk tough but otherwise do nothing. The School for the America’s trained Generals do nothing unless America says so, well the anti Commie secret Government part of America. The IRI is the Anti Commie secret Government’s foreign policy wing run by John McCain (its former chair) and friends. They certainly have the political power to make assurances to the Generals in Honduras that America will do nothing, just look at the hard time they are giving Obama on everything. We know or at least we Hope that Obama’s people were unaware
The IRI currently operates with a robust budget of $79 million. Though one of John McCain’s goals as chairman of the organization has been to increase private funding for the IRI, the overwhelming majority of funds for the organization comes from two public sources, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

http://www.coha.org/2008/06/a-…..d-the-iri/

http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/6023

Founded in 1983, the IRI’s website reminisces about how it “planted seeds of democracy in Latin America.” Several of these so-called “seeds” were sown during John McCain’s tenure as the IRI’s Chairman. The main IRI project in Haiti involved the overthrow of the country’s democratically-elected President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004.

http://www.coha.org/2008/06/a-…..d-the-iri/

More background on McCain and the IRI
So Mr Obama given McCain’s past association with Coups I think this might be worth investigating if the Coup
rumor turns out to be true.
In which case I will turn this into a diary.

I can’t seem to contact the Seminal I have a Diary on My Page its done but its not showing up on the Seminal?

http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/6669

Suz couldn’t figure out why but the link works any Mods around?

This Diary has nothing to do with Coups

George Bush is nolonger with Barrick as far as I can tell. I can’t find any hint he owns shares of Barrick currently either. Just trying to be fair.

Hellooooo

Hi

Michael Huffington, the wealthy former Republican congressman from California, is suing the Carlyle Group and its co-founder, David Rubenstein, over misrepresentations and deceptions Huffington claims they made regarding his $20 million investment loss in Carlyle Capital Corp., Carlyle’s failed publicly traded mortgage fund.

Carlyle “offered to sell shares of stock in the fund by knowingly or negligently representing that, among other things, the fund was ‘conservative,’ ‘low risk’ and that the ‘downside [was] very limited,’” according to the suit, filed in Massachusetts state court on Monday. Huffington, the ex-husband of political pundit Arianna Huffington, lost “the full value of his investment” when Carlyle Capital blew up last year.

The Carlyle investment came about at a July 4, 2006, celebration in Iceland honoring former President George H.W. Bush, the suit says. At the dinner, Bush introduced Huffington to Rubenstein, a managing director of the sprawling private-equity group.

Bush 1 set up his buddy! I knew that the market’s losses were to big even the insider Cronies took a hit nobody looses $20 million without screaming!
