Good evening ES

Eureka!

Good evening bigbrother

Damn dialup. Anyways, what is this I hear about Judge Walker being gay and being asked to recuse himself?

Senior!

He was asked to recuse himself? By anyone official or just a bunch of bigots?

Strat and fiddle. That is genius.

One of the groups defending Prop8 is doing the asking and I heard it on the ABC nightly news this evening.

Sounds good to me..)

We should ask the GOPers to drop the suit…)

Think it would make ABC news?

Only because I was busy publishing my latest diary…! ;-)

I wasn’t really ready to give it a lot of credit, but it was on the TV.(So it must be true, hah!)

That’s where I saw it. Straight out the anchor’s mouth.

Where are my manners…? Aloha, ES and LLN pups…! *g*

I lost any respect for ABC news during the Carter years. never looked back… they were the run up to FOX news.

Pardon me… Hiya CT.

Nice pick ES!

Seen Donna The Buffalo, full band, twice at BerryFest in the past few years.

Loved them, love your pick with the duo only.

That tune gets me back rhythm wise to old blues . . .

Only fuller!

Sweet!

What kind of berry?

Here ya go Drouse.

Hello!

‘Any decision favoring plaintiffs in this case will be permanently marred and universally viewed as stemming from Judge Walker’s personal biases.’

Yes, because only straight white men know the meaning of social justice.

Nice music.

I love it that some of the rest of the country gets to experience for six days or 20 what we get in Alaska for six months.

I’ve been a fan of Crooked Still, when the first cello monster was with them. Rashad.

Nowadays, the cello guy is gone, a new one has come forth, and the band with Hass The Fiddler rawhks on!

Like The Biscuit Burners, and all bands, changes are a way of life.

One gal I’ve always liked, is Odessa Jorgensen, who joined the Biscuit Burners, but is now with Bearfoot Bluegrass.

And on it goes . .

Good Evening All

HI ET,

We’ve had a month or more of it this year… with a nice ten day bit of spring like temps in the middle.

Already talking with friends about a summer trip up your way. (we shall see)

Well withdraw advance to the rear. Retreat to fight another day,. Conventional versus guerrilla warfare.
We expend huge assets they very little. When we leave they resurge. Where is the end game War College?

KC!, Odd video.. which I liked with a pretty good tune.

Dude, there’s only ONE Berry Fest, Out West!

Evening CE… >>>> hot chocolate for you.

Do keep me informed, ES.

No. trailer park.

Hi ES, Chris, all

I notice that they didn’t link to the SF Cronicle article that supposedly outs him. Can anyone with a faster connection than mine check it out?

Oh I will.. thanks.

Here, I think.

“American Faces” with Henry Louis Gates Jr. was pretty great tonight. Yo-yo Ma and others were overwhelmed with presented evidence of their family history.

You have no idea what it is like to party with the Alaska bloggers…

*heh* Not even one day of it here, at sea level, in the other forgotten state, ET…! Aloha…! ;-)

I don’t know how, but in ten years No Cal residence and thousands of nights of live music I never made it to Strawberry.

Fiddlin around is just fun. Sleep REM Deep me diving in. Have happy times.

Sunglasses all night. (in July)

Sashimi for breakfast.

Yummy, and needed here in the land of 15 inches of powder.

I admit – dolls FREAK me out.

Which is why the freaks in Belch’s family sent me those frikking Barbie dolls, with which I had to make mayhem

I hope they will show repeats of that, I’ve only seen one of the episodes. Really fascinating.

Hey ES — evening, firedogs

Thought you might.

Margot!
Not leaving tomorrow — snow has stopped in PA, but we will need a day for clean-up on the PA turnpike. I hate winter highway travel.

That is hysterical ! You are insane…)

fancy editing too. What software?

Evening PPDCUS

I guess they are just trying to work the Ref a bit. Any decision he makes still has two levels of review to go through.

Funny, that!
We had six new inches at 5:00 — we all laughed and drove home on pretty clear streets.

It’s been a grand fest, in a grand setting with grand music for 3 decades or so.

I came upon it in Fall of ’01.

We love it, twice a year!

me too.. regular roads don’t bother me, but interstate w/big trucks makes me very nervous.

Pinnacle Software.

And yes, I am nuts.

Didn’t I ever show you my primary war/superdelegate Barbie thing before?

In the passenger seat, I’ve enlarged the “Jesus handle” by inches… every time one of those damn trucks wants to wipe us out, I scream, ” Oh Jesus.”

Kelly
Barbie
?

& variations on that theme.

CT – the snowdrifts, capping over each other in the wind today, reminded me of frozen surf.

Glad to hear you aren’t traveling tomorrow. I’m sure Mr. CE is a safe winter driver but there are all those other dudes who are Not.

CE!

Look, I got some Barbies, mkay? Foisted on me because dolls freak me out.

Do you REALLY want me to start doing stop-motion movies? :) Heh.

LOL I call that the Oh Shit! handle.

Hi PPD

D.C. Call Girl Barbie?

hi margot

heh,
some years ago I gave my original Barbie to a co-worker who collects. My Barbie had the striped bathing suit and pearl earrings (oh, so do I!!). Msce did photojournal photos of Barbie and Midge breaking the law. Pretty funny.

Sashimi, some wasibi and soy!

Ginger beer! It’s not just for breakfast anymore!!

*G*

I NEVER uploaded that scandalous Caribou Barbie episode. Uh uh. Nope not me.

Not that one with the fire hydrants, missiles, hermaphrodytes, hallucinogenic mushrooms and muppets and stuff.

You must be thinking of someone else. Move along.

‘K, all this doll stuff and vids and such is kinda freakin me out.

I HATE the doll monster movie shit, it’s so stupid . . . might as well watch late night roller derby.

Kelly, sorry, yer doll monster movie is . . . well, I’d rather youtube music, hoss, sorry . . .*G*

TMI, and all that . .

You Pups be well, those that pick do so, those that listen, do so, those that cook, do so.

The rest of yas, hum and nibble along . . .

I’m sure we’ll all be fine once the sun comes up . .

*G*

Niters You Pups N Phreaks . . . what a lot!!!! *G*
*poof*

Nite Awl . . .

msce did ransom note Barbie ( with Midge in the converatble trunk) Terrible, but photographically hilarious.

Caribou Barbie doesn’t live in D.C. — and never will.

Maybe South Carolina Governor Mistress Barbie hiking the Appalachian Trail

or

Strict Mommy Barbie disciplining Senator Diapers

Let me know when it starts to melt… I’ll catch the crest then…! ;-)

Ransom Note Barbie — yikes! Sounds like a really bad Mattel marketing plan.

That would be you narrating…? ;-)

Oui!

ES, quoting:

‘Any decision favoring plaintiffs in this case will be permanently marred and universally viewed as stemming from Judge Walker’s personal biases.’

Per Teddy Partridge:

And in a shocking response to the in-paper revelation about Judge Walker, activist and known gay person Brian Leubitz revealed something even more horrifying about Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the odious and swiftly overturned-by-Congress Lilly Ledbetter decision, about a woman’s right to sue her employer for fair wages: he’s male!

So, did anybody comment about Justice Alito’s gender when he wrote the outrageous opinion in Ledbetter v Goodyear Tire that said that under the Civil Rights Act women could not sue after 180 days from the discriminatory decision, even if they didn’t know about the decision for years? The decision that ultimately spurred the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Act because it was so egregious.

Clearly, America is going to need a new standard of disclosure and recusal based on the identity and background of judges. It’s not about being activist judges anymore — now it’s about who judges are.

Just checking… Great job, I might add…! ;-)

Love your production co.’s name…! ;-)

Oh teh stupid.

I’m gonna tell Nancy Reagan on you!

Thanks. Yes, I used to blog as Unconventional Conventionist.

But I don’t mind being out and saying HELLO! I didn’t see a bunch of difference amongst the corporatists way back when.

I am personally very glad to see Kucinich at the top of the board today, which should be evident from my video [From May 2008 btw] :)

I’ve read Nancy’s Tarot. Told her she looks GREAT in a burkha, but it’s all up to her.

Hey, If Kucinich will revisit Seminal frequently, it’s all worthwhile.

What…? Featuring a G.I. Joe doll…? *g*

Agree. A net moneybomb will make the beltwayidiots notice him.

BTW, I think #beltwayidiots should be a twitter hashtag.

Never really understood the hashtag thing.

anybody who subscribes to the same characters after the # gets the tweet.

So if you subscribe to #hcr, you’ll get all tweets that have #hcr

sounds like a major smackdown event – Burkha Barbie vs. Caribou Barbie

uber late – must go.

Ta ta!

Evening Eureka. Yeah, the stoopid.

(after viewing Unhinged, may have to mention you to Nancy. Also *g*)

Wow! Spiffy.

Wondering if the Iran protests will be as lively this time around on twitter?

The Iranian government just cut off gmail to the entire country.

I’ll take Abu Muqawama’s lego over Caribou Barbie any day…! ;-)

Hi Sunny.

gentle smile… and g’night.

The Iranian Govt. is ramping up for the impending tsunami…! Sad, no…? 8-(

Way…. past sad.

They sure seem to be both anticipating and provoking something big, don’t they?

Yep!

I can’t believe how crazy the discourse has gotten. It seems that only the left-bloggers and the commedians get it. Even Rachel and Keith let me down tonight.

Today, Obama committed a major gaffe on Bloomberg:

President Barack Obama said he doesn’t “begrudge” the $17 million bonus awarded to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon or the $9 million issued to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO Lloyd Blankfein, noting that some athletes take home more pay.

The president, speaking in an interview, said in response to a question that while $17 million is “an extraordinary amount of money” for Main Street, “there are some baseball players who are making more than that and don’t get to the World Series either, so I’m shocked by that as well.”

“I know both those guys; they are very savvy businessmen,” Obama said in the interview yesterday in the Oval Office with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, which will appear on newsstands Friday. “I, like most of the American people, don’t begrudge people success or wealth. That is part of the free- market system.”

Obama sought to combat perceptions that his administration is anti-business and trumpeted the influence corporate leaders have had on his economic policies. He plans to reiterate that message when he speaks to the Business Roundtable, which represents the heads of many of the biggest U.S. companies, on Feb. 24 in Washington.

Simon Johnson got all over his case, as did Paul Krugman.

The sad point is that neither Rachel nor Olbermann covered it. I had to ask “why?” And, a friend pointed out that Obama’s FCC will have major input on the upcoming merger of NBC with Comcast. (Silly me!)

Works both ways…

The two main opposition leaders in Iran called on their supporters on Saturday to take part in a demonstration on Feb. 11, the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution…

…A senior Revolutionary Guards commander, Hussein Hamedani, warned that the force would not “allow the Green Movement to make an appearance” during the annual rally, the ISNA student news agency reported.

Doesn’t bode well…! 8-(

I’ve read a few comments from folks who have noticed KO and RM etc.. are not covering the merger at all. Which I don’t know since I am not watching a lot of television these days.

The Bloomberg interview would be infuriating if it were not so predictable and apparent it’s what he really thinks.

Can we say howard Dean yet? If not, I may buy a Socialist party t-shirt soon. *s*

Just checked twitter.. which is where all the news broke on recent iran protests.

Opposition website #Iran’s Green Voice says security forces fire shots at anti-government protesters in Tehran – Reuters

I’m with you on that one.

I may go to the library and check out a bunch of Karl Marx’s books. The more I see, the more the stuff my friends told me he said sounds right.

Heh

Bob Dylan-The Time They Are A-Changin’ live at the White House feb 9th

I need to do the same, regardless. Any recommendations welcome.

I’ve insisted that I was anti-Marx all my life. But I used to have breakfast every morning with a bunch of Italian-American Marxists. They called me their “token Fascist.”

I liked what they had to say when it came to diagnosing what’s wrong with the status quo, but, when they started giving their recipes for change, I tuned out.

Oops! It has gotten to be that time.

G’nite, All.

Getting several iran tweets with reports of arrests like this now.

RT @IranRiggedElect: RT @onlymehi Reza Khatami and his wife were arrested a few moments ago #iranelection #22bahman

Just imagine, dood…! ;-)

Time for me to turn in too.

Night all

Sleep tight, ES…!

I’m convinced by the past 15 months that the system is only good for one thing — to perpetuate the power and wealth through total government capture.

Concepts like the public good, representative democratic governance held accountable by a Fourth Estate, and capital formation where finance serves the real economy — will not survive this administration’s re-election plan of putting makeup on a corpse.

For all of the finger pointing at Iran’s internal power structure, nothing less than a revolution in America will restore a social contract that puts people first.

And I’m not talking about Teaparty bigot tools taking back “their country” from those who have stolen them blind, deaf and dumb.

OT
HarmLand Security is pissed and are outing Kelly C joky joky on them. You can casigate our policy but making fun of us is unpatriotic.
(Kelly make sure you cross book flights to throw them of your trail you know how easily confused they can be).
And Topless Barbie has really got the religious right up in arms. OMG

Tin foil hat on. G

ES Sleep surrounded by friendly wild critters outside your cabin in the Ozarks. May the long time sun shine on you, may all love surround you and the pure light within you guide your way home where John Lennon be. Imagine yiur not the only one

If it were not so difficult to amend the Constitution, it would be worth it to do the following things:
(1) Establish that Corporations are not people.
(2) Congress Critters cannot ever become lobbyists
(3) Supreme Court Jesters errr, Justices get 30 years and out.

A fish can dream, right?

“All men dream; but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act out otheir dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” T.E. Lawrence

Hey Jo. Sounds good. Guess we’d also have to ban justices becoming lobbiests.

Or lobbyists from becoming Justices. Heh, indeed.
