Black Moth Super Rainbow deserves to be cranked up!

Hey Eureka

Hiya ES, hiya Pups

evening newdeal

“Tooth Decay” a Hallowe’en Treat – no doubt too much candy corn.
Babyface’s on the creepy side

Aloha, ES, NDFG, newt, and others…!

hey, newton!

CT
how’s the new home constructing?

A lot slower than I’d like…! Yet, I’m still progressing…!

Hello All!
Watching “Once.”

ES, do you know Glen Hansard’s music?

You have to hit the nail with the flat part, not the claw part. Might speed things up…

*touche* Mi amigo…! 8-P

well, so long as you are going in the forward direction rather than reversi

ahh newt, the claw end is soo much more exciting !!

I chipped a tooth before I learned that one.

*ouch* Quick ya learned, eh…? ;-)

Interesting learning curve with the staple-gun.

Dang, I see that there’s a lot of catch up reading I must do over at EW’s… Plenty of material that she was afforded by Darth Cheney…! Her favoritest topic, eh…? ;-)

I don’t even wanta hear about that one… Thank ye very much…! ;-)

CT, it’s late here sorta.

I’m listening to good hard blue and new grass, and pickin my dobro.

And I’m delighted to wish you and yers well.

MAHALO, hoss!

And pick it minor and modal, on that slack key git.

*G*

Yeah, Marcy’s weekend is now full.

Did ES do another drive-by posting…? Being the guest of honor and all…!

Aloha, larue! I just popped in at the Beach Haus too…!

Hello?

You rang…? ;-)

hi chris!

Do the Claw.

You’re up late, RF…! How’s Floridaze doing…? ;-)

Hey CT Just wanted to see if anyone is still here. I tried to ask about an Irish band named “The Swell Season, with an album called “Strict Joy.”

Hi Chris and everyone!

Hey Newt!
Leaves blowing with beautiful sunsets.

Hey Margot!

Hey, your boy Fallon was on 30 Rock last night.

dread zeppelin

Boo!

Oh newt, he is adorable!

Hey CT! Don’t know about Floridaze, Illinoisdaze is pretty cold and swampy at the moment. How’s Hawaiidaze?

Here’s another good one. Saw them at a local club a long time ago. Fun time.

hee hee
thanks

I thought ya lived in Fla…! D’oh…!

Here’s what it looks like outside…

lol Elliot, nice to see you in the darktime hours…
Does anyone watch Medium? I love it.

That’s pretty cool. Looks like a giant R2D2.

I sure like Allison, wish I had her courage

I didn’t know it was still on.

So called because it is neither rare or well done? Just kidding, I’m channeling Ernie Kovacs. “g”

She’s the best Arquette of all

I said that very thing when I first came up here…! It’s really pretty cool to watch when they open and spin the dome… The other two white Observatories behind it are both UH’s 8 meter and 2.2 meter scopes…!

oo medium rare
You servin’ up the filet?

I am cravin’ the steak.

and I want fries with that.

Are 8 and 2.2 meters the diameter? Pretty awesome.

Comin’ up. I cook a pretty mean steak. I’ve offered Bob tiny bits of beef roast and he picks it up and spits it back out. In the meat department he only wants steak. I should teach him to oink.

She was good in True Romance and great in Human Nature.

:-) I remember Ernie Kovacs. Heck I remember the Froggy with the magic twanger.

Yeppers, Gemini’s is 8.1 meters…!

Ernie left too soon, dang it. I don’t recall Froggy. The local PBS station ran Kovacs’ series about 30 years ago, which is how I learned about him.

*aargh* Here’s another good reason for ramping up a exit strategy rather than the troop levels in Afghanistan…

Talks between rivals for presidency reportedly break down

Ok
I give up
Buenas noches, amigos mios, hasta mañana

Aloha, Elli…!

nite elliott

That is amazing. Gotta be one expensive piece of glass.

Powering down here. See y’all.

G’night Elliott.

Boo y’all!

Challenging to be late to late late night.

nite again rf
hope it works this time

Aloha, RF…!

A lot to catch up on, eh…? ;-)

hey sunny

She cost me a nice commission when she was married to Nick Cage. They walked in and Cage was in love with Warhol’s “Dracula” screenprint. He wanted to buy it, but she nixed it. I never sold investment, but it was a Warhol.

It also looked just like him.

http://rogallery.com/Warhol_Andy/warhol-dracula.html

LOL!
OTOH, she has that dingy sister.

I’m proud of Obama… A true CinC…! Still would like him to utilize the Bully Pulpit for a Robust PO…! He needs to sack Rahmbo ASAP…! We won convincing Dem majorities in spite of Rahmbo not because of him…! 8-(

mmmmmm…. :)

rahm’s got a ways to go to achieve the lieberhate zone. But he’s a game contender.

Charlie Pierce, Dawg bless him, on Rahm Emanuel:

“If there be in our midst one low, sordid, vulgar soul . . . one tongue leprous with slander; one mouth which is like unto a den of foul beasts giving forth deadly odors; if there be one char­acter which, while blotched and spotted all over, yet raves and rants and blackguards like a prostitute; if there be one bold, bad, empty, bellowing demagogue, it is the gentleman from Illinois.”

I used to want to write like Vonnegut. Not anymore.

*ouch* That’s gotta have left a mark…! ;-)

evening, dawgs — how limns the flames?

evening. we were just talking about rahm.
some nights we are just masochists.

Welcome to the 18th century.

That’s a dueling challenge!

In his twisted crank mind, Emanuel thinks it the highest compliment.
Me – I cannot read it without busting out laughing.

no more masochistic than the last generation listening to Dick proclaim, “You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore.”

And thinking, thank god that’s the last we’ll see of that orc.

As the most recent fiends take a leisurely backstroke across the surface of the cesspool, they both revere Dick, and wonder how he allowed himself to be punked by the likes of the press and citizen outrage at his criminality.

I can hear them now: “Nixon was a wuss… but he was OUR wuss. Poor fella.”

Cheney & Rumsfeld learned their Watergate lesson well — leave no fingerprints on the dead corpse of the U.S. Constitution

Used to be that Nixon set the gold standard for shamelessness.
The students, however, really have become the teachers.

Imagine what happens when Monica Goodling and Kyle Sampson and Sara Taylor and Alan Weh achieve ‘deputy’ standing in the next Gooper administration…

fuck that

Barack Obama for President… For life.

Brings to mind his

book salon

visit – Idiot America.

Sorry, Barack tipped his hand with his first appointment — the Rahminator.

That’s right. What a blast that was!

We shall see.
I still hold out hope that THIS is not the fight Obama bargained for.

effed that up, meant to send the link, not a quote.

Interesting that Dr. Zeke Emanuel, medical advisor to the prez, is no fan of single payer.

Thanks for the gracious fix.

Oh for dawg’s sake, we are screwed from this Prez and this Congress.

Screwed, plain and simple.

You got ANY sense of hope amongst what we have to deal with?

If so, yer either given with a vision we don’t have, or . . .

Well, yer hopeful.

Sorry, I just don’t see hope no mo.

Obama’s tragic flaw is believing his own rhetoric over observable evidence displayed by his sworn, conscience free enemies of the republic, and the co-opting influence of legalized campaign finance bribery.

That salon – I had it bookmarked for convenient access. My pleasure.

Wow…! Gavin pulls out…

No argument. And when it sinks into the public that the health care plan Obama would be happy to sign includes essentially paying extortion to Wellpoint and BCBS, he can be disabused (if we choose to do what we were always tasked to do – drive this President towards the light) of this fiction.

I am not saying it will work. I am saying that we know exactly what we have to do.

I left ya a note at the Beach Haus…! ;-)

Like you, I claim no special vision. But if you have an alternative to fighting like mad to both carve out a future AND sustain what little is left of the Republic, I am all ears.

Calitics had a good post on that today.

http://www.calitics.com/diary/10382/gavin-newsom-drops-out-of-governors-race

The Law of Fully Intentional Consequences

Criminalizing the successful citizen avoidance of health insurance corporation extortion, now that’s change we can believe in …. when we’ve all moved to France.

No opinion here. My competing theories conflict.

My competing theories conflict.

Trying to reconcile conflicting theories of your own?

Hoping against hope here too. Amazed and somewhat buoyed by what Jane and others have been able to accomplish to this point.

Hey emerson

Hi PPD! Como esta?

Yes, we are just begging to have our hearts broken. Again. And yes, the odds are long and there is no map. But I would like to string together a few more House evictions like Al Wynn and push Reid’s race to the brink, and Jane and her contemporaries are pretty damned good.

Good thanks — how’s everything with you?

I thought today that the difference between good, and good for nothing — unfortunately, is not nothing.

Case in point: The Whore of Hartford

lethargic. trying to exercise more. That usually works, but it’s a longer process now, seemingly.

Exercise has myriad benefits.

Jane and Rachel make for a dynamic duo, eh…? ;-)

Apologize immediately – prostitutes everywhere are recoiling from that comparison.

It’s aggravating that even after Jane’s and this site’s support of Donna Edwards, she still had to call her out to live up to her promises. Congressional DC is a dam cesspool.

We’re living in a new age of anti-enlightenment.

Otherwise, Fox News would be the butt of every other joke around the water cooler each morning.

true. Gets the old synapses firing again. And BTW, Charlie Rose started a series on the human brain on yesterday’s show and it was so GREAT that it brought me to tears. You should all go to his website and watch it. Just SPECTACULAR.

Did you see Jon Stewart’s take on Fox yesterday? It was perfect.

It’s what we signed up for. Listening to the unwashed, who have occasion to visit DC for governmental but not electoral reasons, is to hear about a Washington we could hardly imagine. Every time we send one of our ‘anointed’ into the breach, they will bear watching.
Once again, pow wow is right on the screws.

http://www.thedailyshow.com/

watching it online now. i am out.

nite you guys

It’s a chicken vs. egg conundrum, newtonusr.

Which came first, the politician or the prostitute?

http://www.fitsnews.com/2009/10/28/sc-cemetery-sex-scandal-deepens/

Holy Viagra, Batman!!!

Whoa! Just skimmed it, but that is a tremendous amount of research. I’ll read it in earnest tomorrow. Thanks newt and good nite pups.

Charlie Rose is an oasis in the electronic desert, not unlike our favorite progressive blog.

Yes. His actions don’t square with our expectations of where he would go or how he would get there.

Did we misunderstand him, did he mislead us or is he indulging in situational ethics? Or, as you suggest, is he tragically flawed in some way that overpowers his ethics, extraordinary intelligence and training?

With those questions outstanding, it’s difficult for me to form an opinion.

But newton is right, we know what we have to do.

I spent two minutes today encouraging the Liebermaniac:

Senator Daschle, Keep up the good work. Sincerely, a follow hypocrite.

It’s morpheus time — night all.

Good morning, pups. Gail Collins and Charles Blow are both off today, so Bob Herbert is flying solo. In “Constraining America’s Brightest” he says instead of getting a chance to set the world on fire, college graduates are facing a gloomy economy, unpaid internships and unemployment.

Here he is.

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got banana pancakes this morning. I off to have a second cup of tea and put together goodie bags for later. Have a great day.

Mornin’, Marion -

What’s the weather like down your way?

Wrt releasing the WH visitors logs -

Excellent example of why *any* WH would fight such a release tooth and nail…….cnn running with the short list of the names the reich wing hoped to find there – wright, ayers (sp?) etc.

OK, they knew this was going to happen. What’s so far past stupid that you can’t get there is the WH response (at least according to cnn) is that those were different people….just with the same names. Who the spit was the raving nut job delegated to formulating that response? kee-rist!

I agree. Even if its true its not a good response.

Sounds a bit gibbish, doesn’t it? :-(

And the question should be asked: if they *really* meant to release visitor names, why the spit invite people who are known to be red meat for the reich wing? The stupid, it burns!

Via the Washington Monthly, a little clarification:

……

As is too often the case, the right failed to think this one through. As Norm Eisen, special counsel to the president for ethics and government reform, explained:

There’s an important lesson here as well. This unprecedented level of transparency can sometimes be confusing rather than providing clear information.

A lot of people visit the White House, up to 100,000 each month, with many of those folks coming to tour the buildings. Given this large amount of data, the records we are publishing today include a few “false positives” – names that make you think of a well-known person, but are actually someone else. In September, requests were submitted for the names of some famous or controversial figures (for example Michael Jordan, William Ayers, Michael Moore, Jeremiah Wright, Robert Kelly (”R. Kelly”), and Malik Shabazz). The well-known individuals with those names never actually came to the White House.

…..

Before mainstream Americans will buy that, CNN will have to interview these alleged namesakes. And even so, the right will insist that they are phonies, just like the landing on the moon.
