Another weekend here already – what a shame. This’ll be the last weekend where I won’t have to think, “shit, I gotta go to class on Monday night.” Well, until Labor Day, anyway. I have a rough schedule comign up – class on Monday night, Tuesday afternoon, and on the Internet. And I only have a few short months to figure out how the hell I’m gonna get out of having to work for a living again when this is all over. Better get cracking on that Morning Seditionists swag store, I guess.
Enjoy your Saturday.

Druid, I’m doing okay. Speaking of animal rights. They came recently to harvest the honey from the hives at the CSA where I volunteer and the bees swarmed up into the trees for a while.

Leon Samson, a pale-faced Columbia University Student, who when asked if he had a registration card replied meekly: “I am only 20 years old,” and Emma Goldman, the anarchist agitator, staged a mass meeting which they styled a “protest against the selective draft law by the Collegiate League for Peace and Harmony,” at 10 West 114th Street last night, and by so doing made it possible for United States Marshal Thomas D. McCarthy to round up a number of men of conscript age who had defied the law by refusing to register last Tuesday. The round-up came at the end of the meeting and took the anarchists and their youthful dupes, among them a score of girls still in their teens, entirely by surprise. The result was a wild scramble for the exits, but at every door stood one or two policemen and several National Guardsmen. Every man who was of draft age had to show his card and those that could not were taken into custody.
In all thirty men were detained pending an investigation of their status by the proper Federal authorities. At midnight two had confessed that they had willfully disobeyed the law and were ordered locked up. The other twenty-eight, who during the meeting had shouted and applauded when President Wilson was sneered at, the Liberty Loan denounced, and the army and navy referred to in jeering terms, were meek as lambs and pitifully begged for permission to go home. Some said they had left their cards at home, others said they had lost them, while still others insisted that they had given them to relatives for safe keeping. Seventeen were finally let go, but eleven were detained until their cards are produced.
“We are sick and tired of these disloyal meetings in New York,” said Marshal McCarthy as he surveyed the line of frightened men lined up in single file against the wall in the hall where the meetings at which all things American were denounced was held. “And, furthermore,” the Marshal added, “I want it clearly understood that in the future we are not going to permit these unpatriotic and disloyal gatherings. We can’t stop free speech as contemplated by the Constitution, but we can put an end to disloyalty, and we are going to do it.

“Perhaps the most compelling real fact that radicals in our era have not adequately faced” wrote Murray Bookchin in 1991, “is the fact that capitalism today has become a society, not only an economy”. Encapsulated in this one sentence is the essence of what drove this autodidactic scholar, who died on 30 July 2006, aged 85, to a prolific output of writing and research spanning the last 50 years. That essence was the commitment to the belief that analysis of social crises and transformation, and the revolutionary action required thereon, ought to have a much wider focus than a strictly economic one.
Naturally, a commitment to such a focus was inevitably going to bring Bookchin into direct conflict with the doyen of economic interpretations of social transformation: Karl Marx. An approach that was based on ‘a more general, social revolution’, as Bookchin described it, something that stretched far outside the traditional class struggle in which Bookchin was active from the 1930s to the 1960s, outside of the strictly economic concerns of worker control, would bring Bookchin not only into deep intellectual and philosophical conflict with Marx’s texts, but also into a more direct conflict with the followers of Marx. And this confrontation would not always be a civil one. In his infamous 1969 essay, Listen, Marxist!, Bookchin opens thus: “All of the old crap of the thirties is back again – the shit about the “class line”, the “role of the working class”, the “trained cadres”, the “vanguard party”, and the “proletarian dictatorship”. It’s all back again, but in a more vulgarized form than ever.”
A veteran of the class politics of 1930s New York, a student of the lessons learnt from the Spanish Civil War – yet another Communist Party casualty of the Hitler-Stalin Pact – Bookchin railed against the imposition of the older interpretations of Marxism in a decade as fluid as the 1960s; older interpretations whose deadly maladies had been revealed in the Soviet Union only the decade before. But more than this, Bookchin was not only trying to defend revolutionary Marxism from the failings of older interpretations, but was trying to save Marxism from itself, from its own intrinsic failings. For Bookchin, the problems that had beset the revolutionary movement thus far had arisen not from a historical misreading of Marx, but from a Marxist misreading of history…

I need to wake up a little more before watching the “seriousness” of C Span, Fred….
Did you check your gmail lately?
Randi rerun. She’s been good lately….
I just wrote back to you. Yes, about the Brian Jones movie and about the group. I like what you wrote. I’m going to scan a picture of NW for the group
The fact that we have been here and done this just with a different paint job is a good indication of how terribly unsuccessful that effort was.. It simply drove the fascist cockroaches back into their think tanks ( ie holes) where they thought up different tactics to achieve their goals. Once one quits applying the bug spray they come right back and this time they have lots of company..this time it has to be a more permanent fix :gate::omg::jason::jason::jason::fist:
I fear that we are the bugs to those elite bastards. Hornets! Get into formation.
ok, scan came out pretty good :nod:
Hornets are good example because they don’t attack in swarms.. They go out in ones and twos and look for a poorly defended target and attack and run..:eek::eek::eek:
The Big Lie, first coined by Adolf Hitler in his 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf,was made famous by Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister for the Third Reich. The idea was simple enough: Tell a whopper (the larger the better) often enough and most people will come to accept it as the truth. During World War II, the predecessor of the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services, described how the Germans used the Big Lie: “[They] never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”
This is, in fact, just what the Bush administration has been doing ever since 9/11. As a result, in 2005, an ABC/Washington Post poll found that 56% of Americans still thought Iraq had possessed weapons of mass destruction “shortly before the war,” and 60% still believed Iraq had provided “direct support” to al-Qaeda prior to the war. In June 2006, Fox News ran a story once again dramatizing the supposed links between 9/11 and Iraq. And, as recently as July, 2006, a Harris poll found that 64% of those polled “say it is true that Saddam Hussein had strong links to Al Qaeda.”
The Bush administration’s Big Lie has worked very well. Dick Cheney, the point man on this particular lie, has repeated it year after year. In a similar way, George Bush has repeatedly explained his 2003 invasion of Iraq, which had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11, by insisting that we must fight terrorists in that country so that we don’t have to fight them here. (It turned out to be something of a self-fulfilling prophesy.)

Israeli aircraft attack eastern Lebanon
Israeli aircraft fired several rockets at a Hizbollah stronghold in eastern Lebanon early on Saturday, a Lebanese security source said.
Warplanes and helicopters attacked at dawn unidentified targets around the village of Bodai, west of the ancient city of Baalbek in the Bekaa Valley. The source said Israeli commandos landed by helicopter in the area for a brief period.
An Israeli army spokesman said the army was checking the report.
Such an attack would be the first since a U.N. truce ended 34 days of fighting between Israeli forces and Hizbollah guerrillas in southern Lebanon.

Pentagon Orders American Special Forces To Mexican Oil Fields As Civil War Looms
August 16, 2006 By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Russian Subscribers
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index942.htm
Russian Military Analysts are reporting today that the United States Military Leaders have ordered an ‘advisory contingent’ of American Special Forces Officers to Mexico in order to prepare their Mexican counterparts for an expected siege upon Mexico’s vast oil fields, and which provides to the US its second largest amount of imported oil after Canada.
The actions being taken by the Americans is in response to the growing rebellion in Mexico over the stealing of its Presidential election by its present government and backed by US corporate interests, and which fear a leftist controlled Mexican government would break away from its present orbit around the United States Empire.

Hazel Hall (1886-1924)
By Walt Curtis © 1995
The short-lived poetic career of Hazel Hall lasted from 1916 through 1924. This extraordinary Portland poet was published and lauded nationally. Harriet Monroe of Poetry championed her work and her first book. Curtains (1921) contains the sewing poems. Hall, who lived with both her mother and her sister, was virtually an invalid and shut-in. She helped the family finances by doing fine needlework for wealthy families in the West Hills.
The Listening Macaws
Many sewing days ago
I cross-stitched on a black satin bag
Two listening macaws.
They were perched on a stiff branch
With every stitch of their green tails,
Their blue wings, yellow breasts and sharply turned heads,
Alert and listening.
Now sometimes on the edge of relaxation
My thought is caught back,
Like gathers along a gathering thread
To the listening macaws;
And I am amazed at the futile energy
That has kept them,
Alert to the last stitch,
Listening into their black satin night.

This is very scary. If it were any other administration one might decide that they have learned from their failures. But, this administration is still creating reality:
“The Bush administration continues to bypass standard intelligence channels and use what some believe to be propaganda tactics to create a compelling case for war with Iran, US foreign policy experts and former US intelligence officials tell RAW STORY.
Advertisement
One former senior intelligence official is particularly concerned by private briefings that Vice President Dick Cheney is getting from former Office of Special Plans (OSP) Director, Abram Shulsky.
“Vice President Cheney is relying on personal briefings from Shulsky for current intelligence on Iran,” said this intelligence official.
Shulsky, a leading Neoconservative and member of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), headed the shadowy and secretive Department of Defense’s OSP in the lead-up to the Iraq war — helping to locate intelligence that would support the Bush administration’s case for war with Iraq.”

CARACAS, Venezuela – President Hugo Chavez said Friday that Venezuela has caught four people spying for the U.S. government and has turned them over to the Americans. Speaking at a campaign rally, Chavez referred
to the four after reading aloud a news report about the U.S. naming a “mission manager” for Cuba and Venezuela to oversee U.S. intelligence efforts for the two countries.
The Venezuelan leader gave few details about the circumstances, or how recently the four cases occurred. But he said one woman was caught not long ago while taking photos _ of what it remained unclear _ in the north-central city of Valencia.
. . .
Speaking to a sea of supporters, Chavez read the name of the official named by Negroponte to head the Cuba and Venezuela mission, 32-year intelligence veteran J. Patrick Maher, and laughed.
“They selected ‘Jack the Ripper,'” Chavez said. “What a little problem this is.”
“These are signs that the empire doesn’t rest,” Chavez said, referring to the U.S. “The plan to try to destabilize us has already begun.” He predicted the U.S. could try to discredit the results of Venezuela’s Dec. 3 presidential election, in which Chavez is seeking another six-year term, or could try to provoke violent unrest around the time of the vote.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States has named a special “manager” for its intelligence operations against Cuba and Venezuela, in effect putting the two Latin
American nations on a par with “axis of evil” states confronted on multiple levels by the administration of
President George W. Bush.
North Korea and
Iran are the only other countries that have been assigned so-called “mission managers,” who supervise intelligence operations against them on what the office of national intelligence director called “a strategic level.”
In a statement released Friday, the office of National Intelligence Director John Negroponte said the manager would be responsible “for integrating collection and analysis on Cuba and Venezuela across the intelligence community” and “ensuring the implementation of strategies” that have not been disclosed.
“Such efforts are critical today, as policymakers have increasingly focused on the challenges that Cuba and Venezuela pose to American foreign policy,” the statement said.
For the moment, the task of handling the Havana-Caracas axis fell to 32-year Central Intelligence Agency veteran J. Patrick Maher, whose previous job was deputy director of the CIA’s Office of Policy Support.

I noticed that a house down the street has solar panels on the roof. I went to Ed Begley’s site and off to figure out how I could get all of my energy supplied in that way and it was really expensive….but I think it may be worthwhile for partial use and/or in building a house…or compound in VT:grin:
I get the feeling that if things dont exactly work out as planned, that it wold be good to have a northern liberal place to go….
You don’t just have to use solar panels for generating electricity, either (photovolaics are still pretty inefficient, and then you either need to get an inverter – plus a bank of batteries – or buy 12 or 24 volt appliances).
You can get units fairly cheaply that will heat (or supplement) your home. Some examples are here.
They also have the roofing solar panels, which work out to about $5.50 per watt (plus installation, which shouldn’t be too tough). Still expensive, but not all that bad if you get enough sunlight. For less than ten grand, you could do about 1.5 KW worth. Seeing as we need a new roof anyway, it’s worth thinking about.
A typical house with electrical appliances in the kitchen requires about 5 kw.
That would run the stove, the refrig, the dishwasher, the furnace blower, the washer and dryer and several lights all at the same time,
That obviously does not consider winter time heating, hot water or summer AC requirements .
Most stand alone solar houses use propane for heating, hot water and cooking but propane is made from oil so that’s not to good long term and its heavier than air so it poses an explosion risk.
I think the solar equipment manufacturers are moving away from lead acid batteries toward metal hydride batteries like you have in hybrid cars and your laptop ( much bigger of course) so they can be quickly charged and last a long time but they are not something you can go down to Sears and buy at the moment. You also have the problem with what do you do when you have a week of heavy overcast or a system failure. Most stand alone solar houses have backup engine driven generators. At the moment it is still in the world of tinkerers because it requires too much dinking around with it to keep them operating. :fustrate::fustrate::paranoid:
Dunno about the average home, but our failry small ranch averages about 1200 KWh per month, and we have gas heat and appliances. A/C season kills us, of course, but we alose have perhaps a larger than average number of computers. If you count the DVR’s and the laptops, we’ve got nine or ten computers here (and assorted network type hardware) plus TV’s, of course. Also the DirecTV tuners, which put out a fair amount of heat, so I reckon they use some juice. And now we have salt lamps all over the place.
I’m not aware of any large scale alternative to lead-acid batteries for the home. They’d have to be ungodly expensive, and their lifetime isn’t terribly long. NiMH batteries like to be totally discharged fromtime to time, so you’d have to build in a “recconditioning” cycle. lead batteries require proper maintenance and ventillation, too. Lithium ion batteries like you have in a modern laptop are lighter and mre powerful. The Tesla Roadster electric car uses almost 7,000 Lithium-ion batteries, does 0 – 60 in 3.4 seconds, has a top speed of 130 MPH and a range of 250 miles, and costs about 1-2 cents per mile to operate. Of course, 7,000 laptop batteries will set you back a couple of bucks.
You need to use whatever combination of technology and technique suite your area. You can do a lot with solar, even in not expecially sunny areas. Especialy if you’re building, instead of retrofitting. Solar collectors on the roof, for instance, to heat water, which is then used to heat the house, as well as to warm a pit of rocks. When the sun goes down, you use the stored heat of the rocks to heat the house. You can do all the water pumping passively. If you live in a rea where wind is a workable option, you can do that, too.
You also don’t need to be off the grid, but can use the grid as a backup, and sell back whatever excess you produce. So, even if all you can afford is, say, 500 Watts worth of generation for a couple thousand dollars, you could save quite a bit on your electric bill, and since these things are basically good to go forever, you won’t need to replace them. If I could cut my electric usage by a third, I’d probably save about $50 a month (more during cooling season).
People aren’t doing it now, because it’s more expensive upfront. If I wanted to use the roofing solar panels where I live to generate 500 KWh per month, I’d need to spend roughly $30,000 (this is because we average about 3 hours per day of sun around here). So, if I was going to stay here for, oh, fifty years or so, I’d be all set. The best thing to do, of course, is to cut down on electric use, but I have this thing for electronics (which, as we established previously, is a genetic thing), and I hate hot weather, so that makes it tough.
Well if you use the power for lets say 8 hr/day for 30 days in an average month that’s 240 hrs divide that into 1200KWH and you get 5KW . The solar system stores energy so the solar collectors don’t have to have that capacity but the batteries probably have to have 1.2 to 1.5 times that capacity. .. Usually you find that a stand alone house has a 12 kw – 15 kw backup generator.
Fossil fuel fired power plants are some what quantized in that they use a certain amount of fuel even it they are not providing much power to the grid.. When they get below a certain power output they usually shut them down and restarting is a several day process. In a community with solar augmented systems you have to be able to get all the power required off the grid or generate it locally in the case of a really long spell of heavy overcast so having one house in maybe five being totally solar would work well but being 100% solar is asking for problems unless you want to pay for a mostly unused public utility.
The systems with backup generators are also net-workable so if you lose the solar you can all crank up your gen sets and the whole neighborhood will smell of essence of cold four cycle.
I hate to be a bummer to you all. Unless somthing has radically changed in solar technology, generally it takes more energy and resources to fabricate a solar panel than it will ever procuce in its lifetime. Refined silicon is in short supply, titanium is an alternative, but guess what! short supply as well. The oil companies completely control the photovolatic industry. Surprise! I have heard that a prius takes more energy to fabricate than it saves in it’s lifetime. In the world of thermodynamics there is no “free lunch”, and unless the laws of the physical universe change there never will be. World population is the sole problem. We simply cannot supply ipods, computers and the like endlessly. China and India are now on the fast track to industrialization seeking an unsustainable “american way of life”. Biofuels and the horse are the only hope, and I do not think that anyone will be happy with that. Humans must come to the realization that they are a part of nature and not seperate from it. Unfortuneately, the worlds religions and the general sense of religious hypnosis and pipe dreams tend to obscure a very fundamental truth. 🙁

Well the economies of scale will probably cause breakthroughs in materials and technology and China is supposedly educating 200,000 green systems engineers as I write this. China has no intention of becoming the worlds largest economy using an over peak resource. The US oil companies will be broken up as will the media just like Teddy Roosevelt did a hundred years ago. Solar power is about where the steam locomotive was in 1830. The locomotives then were maybe 40 tons and could pull five cars and produced maybe 80 hp. In 1930 the typical modern steam locomotive weighed in at just over 300 tons, could pull 40 120 ton freight cars on level ground and produced some 3000 drawbar horse power.. To do that they consumed maybe 5 tons of coal an hour and 15,000 gallons of water an hour.. It took the diesel locomotive almost 60 years to get back to the same specifications.. .
Centralized power generation has the best economy of scale .. but in the case of solar it would take the land area of three western states to just replace Hoover dam.
I would not look forward to the US being a leader in any of the new innovations ..The industrialists have all headed for China and will let them provide the technologies of the future..
Actually, they’re working on using dirty silicon for PV’s, which will greatly reduce the price. The current refined stuff is in short supply and getting expensive – it accounts for about half the price of a PV cell. Even so, they are becoming more efficient, smaller, and lighter. The roofing stuff is guaranteed at 80% output for 20 years. Given that they can retail that for about $700 (for the 24 volt/136 watt one), it seems to me that over 20 years, it would be more than cost effective to use in a climate that got a lot of sun (you’ll have to point me to the energy requirements for producing one – I’d be interested in seeing that). Much less worthwhile where I’m at (though the sun in the summer might at least ruin the a/c), but you’d think that out there in So.Cal or in AZ, it would be an attractive alternative.
As for the Prius, I’ve seen people who talk about all the energy required to buld one, but I don’t think it’s substantially more than it costs to build any new car. So, your best bet would probably be to buy and properly maintain a nice small car, though your investment in the technology will help to bring costs down. The plug-in hybrid is supposed to be here shortly, and can do the first 80 – 100 miles on battery alone. Perfect for me, and much cleaner than a regular IC engiine (even if the electricity is produced in a coal-fired plant).
Dunno if you saw Inconvenient Truth, but we can’t sell US cars in China, because they don’t meet the Chinese fuel economy standards.
Moving from a oil based economy to a coal generated electricity based economy and then developing more efficient and cleaner electrical generation systems would probably solve a lot of our near term problems. Burning coal unfortunately produces CO2 which is the biggest cause of global warming but I don’t think you can just change everything at the same time without some enormous societal disruptions, We probably would have never developed an oil based economy and the life styles we now will have to cope with having to change if it wasn’t for the oil companies and auto makers using their money to form a “partnership”with our government to make a market for their products.:eek::eek::crap::fustrate::paranoid:
Well, it all depends on where you live. Where I’m at, there are lots of hydro plants. In fact, I pay a 1 cent per kwh premium to purchase “my” electricity (realizing, of course, that it doesn’t really work that way) from 60% wind and 40% low-impact hydropower. We also have a bunch of nukes around here which (say what you will about them) don’t produce anything but nuclear waste and slightly warmer water discharge back into Lake Ontario. Unfortunately, we are the recipients of all that shit in the air that gets produced by coal-fired plants in the midwest (which is why the Adirondacks are being poisoned to death).
The biggest problem with nuclear power is the waste and the on going maintenance requirements. The radioactive decay causes the metallurgy in the plumbing to be modified and welds break and pipes get brittle and you have to wear an aluminum suit to work on that part of the power plant. Owner ship of nuclear power plants by private companies is always a concern because private industry does not like to pay to perform the required preventive maintenance.
DOE under Carter started several fusion projects but RayGun had shut all of them down by the end of his first term. Several looked quite promising but like all R&D they got bad marks because they ran over budget and never delivered quite what was expected. Lawrence Livermore was developing two laser fusion systems while Los Alamos was working on a plasma breeder reactor. DOE continued the two laser projects at Lawrence Livermore under RayGun but they were for his star wars projects not commercial use. The project at Los Alamos was mothballed and in 2003 it was moved to CERN.. The EU scientists are supposedly about back to where LASL was when they shut the program down.
Both fusion techniques still produce large quantities of neutrons which when absorbed by water or rare earth metals heats the material which is then pumped through a heat exchanger and used to make steam.. and we have all been here before.One of the problems with the plasma reacor was containg the plasma. The developers were looking into the use of super conducting magnets to achieve a large enough magnetic field but they were hoping to leap frog that development off of the Super Collider project which also got mysteriously shut down.. ( we really need to follow the bribes … err….. money here I think)
.
The interesting thing about the fusion reactors is that they make large quantities of hydrogen gas as a by product and are self regulating such that they will shut them selves down if the reaction gets out of hand. The fuel is heavy water ( we have lots of water) ..They still had the construction material constraints that are present in Light water reactor run power plants and they produce a very unfriendly material… Plutonium.. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
(On John Kenneth Galbraith)
What would a Galbraithian economy look like in the United States? For starters, major public investments–fueled by corporate tax reforms–in public works–public transit, repaired schools, clinics, upgraded drinking water systems, good parks and libraries, and environmental health projects. These forms of public wealth for everyone, he believed, would also advance the objective of a full employment economy.
Galbraith believed that uncontrolled capitalism, especially the giant corporations, required prudent regulation to diminish the damage their out-of-control greed and power inflict on society. Always a realist, he was more than aware of the capture of regulatory agencies by the very companies that they were created to regulate.
He saw sham in the pretense that the large defense manufacturers are free market corporations. Since over 90% of their business comes from the Department of Defense, he urged that they should be taken over and treated as public corporations shorn of their profiteering, waste and unaccountable lobbying pressure.
“The function of the Democratic Party, in this century at least, has, in fact, been to embrace its solutions even when it outraged not only Republicans but the Democratic establishment as well. And if the Democratic Party does not render this function, at whatever cost in reputable outrage it has no purpose at all. The play will pass to those who do espouse solutions. The system is not working.The only answer lies in political action to get a system that does work. To this conclusion, if only because there is no alternative conclusion, people will be forced to come.”

oh ok, then you can just fuck off
Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) – pronounced WOOPS! – is still a huge nuclear power plant nightmare for that state (at Hanford). If nuclear were left to a true free market it would never make it. That industry has so many legislative breaks absolving them of responsibilities and liabilities PLUS big subsidies, it’s pitiful.

assfootball.I live near TWO huge coal-fired plants which pollute your area quite a bit, I believe PJ. Plants Yates & Wansley. Besides dumping large amounts of crap in the air, they’ve had accidents dumping hot water in to the Hooch with huge fish kills. Nasty plants. Then we have TWO merchant power plants about 10 miles from me, too. Lovely shit comes out of those puppies, too. Nox is a huge problem for them. Worked with a neighborhood group on trying to stop them, but we failed in that endeavor. 🙁 Fortunately the companies have had financial problems post Enron so there has been some justice, I suppose.
Several folks I know use geothermal for heat/air. Seems to me it would take a combo to properly feed a house. We’ve got the sunshine here (which is why it’s so damn hot hot hot).
Raging Granny => STAY HOME AND NURSE US HERE!!!
and PJ, we have an events center. don’t need a Ramada for Maron here!
Exel Energy has almost exclusively coal fired plants that are inside of the Denver metro area.. They burn something like 48,000 tons of coal a day at five plants.. All the plants have stack gas scrubbing systems and they have lower particulate emissions ( according to Excel) in particles per cubic foot than a typical diesel truck. They of course produce more cubic feet of stack exhaust than all of the trucks, buses and locomotives in Metro Denver.. Denver is well known for its bad air days but most of that seems to come from automobiles. Excel had one nuclear plant North east of Denver at Platteville. They closed that down after about 20 years of less than desirable operation.. The plant was mothballed so if you would like a nuclear plant using a gas cooled reactor ( only one of two in the world) you might make Excel an offer.:eek::eek::eek::roll::paranoid:
Oh, hell, we got a Domed stadium, if Marc can fill it (had over 10,000 for Michael Moore, and they probably coulda filled the place if they hadn’t stopped selling tickets).
Fred, when I was in CO 2 weeks ago, I saw, on the way to the airport, a plant spewing tons of stuff and making the air quality horrific. It almost looked like a fire but I don’t think it was. any ideas what it was?
the coal plants here are old and need updating. I believe they were slated to get some new scubbers and then Bush & Co. changed all that so they can now buy their way out of updating the plants.
well, you can hold more in Syracuse than we can here in old Newnan…ALTHOUGH Atlanta has the dome where the Seahawks play!
I retract my statement about solar panels taking more energy to produce than it will ever generate, depending on the panel it can take up to six years of a twenty year life expentancy for the panel to recoup the energy expenditure.
I still think the horse is the way to go though.:grin:
All the coal fired plants have cooling towers that on a cool morning emit huge clouds of water vapor. It can look like a cloud lying close to the ground.( because it is a cloud lying close to the ground). Some times people think that is air pollution and depending on what the vehicle emissions are that day it might combine with something in the air to make something that could dissolve the paint on your car.:eek::eek::eek:
Sometimes Excel has to take their bag houses down for maintenance but because of demand can’t shut down the power plant.. That can cause volcanic like effects down wind..:yuck::yuck:

Seriously, go see it. The only thing that would be more fun for me would be if the snakes were on Air Force One. While Chimpy was aboard, of course.
Air Force Two wouldn’t be as good because Cheney would probably have two or three more heart attacks as soon as he saw the snakes, which would take most of the fun out of it for me. But not all.

Book Prelude to Terror
Distinguished investigative reporter Joseph Trento has written the most authoritative indictment of CIA splinter groups, two generations of Bush family involvement in illegal financial networks, and the funding of the agents of terror. Prelude to Terror reveals the history of a corrupt group of spymasters — led by Ted Shackley — who were fired when Jimmy Carter became president, but who maintained their intelligence portfolio and used it to create a private intelligence network. After this rogue group helped engineer Carter’s defeat in 1980 and allied with George H.W. Bush, these former CIA men planned and conducted what became the Iran-Contra scandal and, through the Saudis, allied the U.S. with extreme elements in Islam. The CIA’s number-one front man, Edwin P. Wilson, was framed by Shackley and his cohorts so that Wilson’s operations could be taken over. For the first time the story of how CIA director George H. W. Bush was recruited into this network, and brought it into the bosom of the Saudi royal family, is told in detail, as well as how this group’s manipulation of the CIA bureaucracy allowed Osama bin Laden’s fundraising to thrive as al Qaeda flourished under Saudi and CIA protection.

America’s “fearing fear itself” era is over, declares New York Times columnist Frank Rich in Sunday’s edition, RAW STORY has found.
“The results are in for the White House’s latest effort to exploit terrorism for political gain: The era of Americans’ fearing fear itself is over,” writes Rich.
“In each poll released since the foiling of the trans-Atlantic terror plot — Gallup, Newsweek, CBS, Zogby, Pew — George W. Bush’s approval rating remains stuck in the 30s, just as it has been with little letup in the year since Katrina stripped the last remaining fig leaf of credibility from his presidency,” Rich writes.
“While the new Middle East promised by Condi Rice remains a delusion, the death rattle of the domestic political order we’ve lived with since 9/11 can be found everywhere: in Americans’ unhysterical reaction to the terror plot, in politicians’ and pundits’ hysterical overreaction to Joe Lieberman’s defeat in Connecticut, even in the ho-hum box-office reaction to Oliver Stone’s ‘World Trade Center,'” continues Rich.

Or is that the 6 years of making up for itself?

Subject to Seizure on Katrina’s Anniversary
Hopes and Homes
By STEPHEN BRADBERRY
and JEFFREY BUCHANAN
The one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, August 29th, 2006, should be a day to remember our commitments to our fellow Americans and our collective losses. It should be a day to reflect on what we as American citizens should expect from our government in our most dire hour of need. It should be a time to honor the courage of the hundreds of thousands of still displaced Katrina survivors as they struggle to return home one year after the storm broke land.
Mayor Ray Nagin, and the New Orleans City Council callously plan to make August 29th not a time to remember but a the time to begin bulldozing what little hope remains by excluding displaced families from the city’s future. Through passing City Ordinance #26031 unanimously in May, the Council decided that those who have not been able to make the necessary repairs to their battered homes by August 29th risk having their property seized and bulldozed by the city.
Many working class families cannot return to New Orleans to prevent their homes from being seized. Most are still waiting to receive payment from insurance claims and can not pay the roughly $10,000 charged by contractors to gut their home nor can they afford to take time off to gut their homes themselves. Low income families in New Orleans could now lose their homes before receiving a dime from the federal government’s $7.5 billion “Road Home” home repair grant program for Louisiana’s homeowners, as those vitally needed funds continue to sit in limbo.
The Council’s decision will further “cleanse” New Orleans of its poor, continuing the exclusion and discrimination that have become hallmarks of the reconstruction. . .
If you are displaced from New Orleans or know someone who is:
Call ACORN to begin the process to save your home now and get a home on the clean-out list, call 1-800-239-7379, x187.
Even if you do not know someone affect you can help by:
1. Donating to ACORN or make a tax-deductible check to:
ACORN Institute – Hurricane Recovery and Rebuilding Fund,
1024 Elysian Fields Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70117.
2. Volunteer with the Home Clean-out Demonstration Program.
3. Spread the Word about ACORN’s work in your local community
4. Contact ACORN if you have other ideas about how you can help
Stephen Bradberry is the Head Organizer of ACORN New Orleans and recipient of the 2005 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award
Jeffrey Buchanan is the Information Officer for the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights
Now, HOW many people have been likened to Hitler by the Wingnuts? Here is a new one for the list: Darwin.
New Christian broadcasting TV special featuring Ann Coulter links Darwin to Hitler
Filed by Ron Brynaert
An upcoming television special produced by a Christian broadcaster that features conservative pundit Ann Coulter links Charles Darwin to Adolf Hitler, RAW STORY has learned.
“Author and Christian broadcaster Dr. D. James Kennedy connects the dots between Charles Darwin and Adolf Hitler in Darwin’s Deadly Legacy, a groundbreaking inquiry into Darwin’s chilling social impact,” announces a press release issued by Coral Ridge Ministries. “The new television documentary airs nationwide on August 26 and 27 on The Coral Ridge Hour.”
“To put it simply, no Darwin, no Hitler,” says Dr. Kennedy. “Hitler tried to speed up evolution, to help it along, and millions suffered and died in unspeakable ways because of it.”
typical misreading (deliberate misreading, I should add) of the theory of evolution…anyone who can compare what Darwin wrote about to what Hitler wanted doesn’t know Darwin
Um, these people kinda freaked me out at the fest. The Hare Krishna Movement… The guy that was talking to me was even from Alaska. :paranoid:
http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0111/p01s03-sten.htm
well, I posted Rich and will put up dowd and anothe rpost of my own pretty soon….
I was just telling Will that the anniversary of Katrina was the week that Pashman and Brendan PW MacDonald hosted for the vacationing Marc and Mark…..and they did such a great show….and look where we are now.
Pashman is producing the Working show, and the hostess, Guerra (said with a certain rolling of the tongue and trill) has been smart in using him on air…but its not the same because hes not part of the funny or the serious around the funny….but, Im glad that hes working,
I wish to God that things were different because I miss that team so freakin much!…and driving around makes it all that much worse because we were actually listening to al franken from Friday….and then finally some Sammy the Stem Cells…
I haven’t seen any Hare Krishna’s in years! What’s happened to their presence at airports?? They must have been picked on by security quite a bit after 9/11.
Joy just called!:pent::sdavid:

Comment by Farmerkat — August 19, 2006 @ 7:45 pm
There were a lot of humorous bits in the movie, but a lot of stuff jumping out at you too. If you didn’t like Alien, I wouldn’t recommend this.
And guys, always remember to look in the toilet bowl before you pee. :omg:

snake vision! i saw it thursday night!:mrgreen:

You don’t need to be a guy to be paranoid about that! I’m especially paranoid in j-johns!

Yeah, you would think that with the robes and either sandals or bare feet, they would breeze right through the security check. 🙂
Gotta go, second half is starting and the Bucs are behind. Fun fact: Bucs general manager Bruce Allen is the brother of racist senator and disgraced presidential candidate George Allen. Wonder how Derrick Brooks and Simeon Rice felt about brother George’s little remark.
I think “Snakes” is very illustrative of the futility of security at the airport.
dont try to join the mile high club either! HAVE I SAID TOO MUCH?

where did everybody go? did travis hook up with randi?:hubba: i think i might of tried to i think shes um sexy in some strange way:doh:
You like dominating women Sean?
i like women…… all kinds of women! i think the thing with randi is just from this one picture i saw of her back when aar first started she looked really sexy in it but after seeing left of the dial i dont know?
:fire:ok im out!
hmmmm……anyone see this?
wow…from the same piece linked above:
Dominant Women? Or like to dominate…:omg:
Who is a dominant woman?
:rofl2:
:pent::tongue:
Yeah. I just read that Huffington piece. An energized liberal/left broadcast media would shake the hell out of this business-dominated country,and their rightwing enforcers.
Randi will knock the shit out of Sean after she reads what he just posted.

I’m interviewing Judy right now. She watched the video
Does she like it? Will she join the GROUP? :rofl2:
yes she likes it.
going to send you her reaction. She’s going to watch it again to give more info on specific songs. also says she’s never online except to work
OK Ill bite…whats the GROUP!!!!:omg:
I think I’ll just go to bed.:nod: Too tired:yawn:
nite travis! I just came upstairs an dlooking at SNL…rerun? its so bad no matter what!
Hey everyone :tongue:
I just went in debt again! :paranoid: I have these impulses that take hold of me. Really need someone to take control of my money. A good money manager. Gawd! So I’ve been wanting a good field recorder to do remote podcasting. So I bought a Sony MZ-M200 Mini Disc recorder. So I’m not gonna worry about it. I wanted it so I got it. If I were str8 my wife would have divorced me by now!
So where did everybody go? It’s Saturday night people! It’s not time to go to bed. Whatever . . . I guess I’ll have a :bong: and chill awhile. I’ll be around here somewhere.
Roll call! Druid . . . Druid? not here, Melina . . . Melina? not here, Travis? PJ? Susan? sblue? Sean? Kristapea? Fred? Somebody. Is there anybody out there? Anybody at all?
I’m scared! :eek::eek::eek:
Hey nick…I thought youd be out with yout friend
Suz and Nicki are making some sort of Group…I dont know if its a music group or some sorta religious/political thing…but they keep mentioning it here as if its some open secret….whats that all about?
I’m high! :yawn: I see things peering out from the dark corners of mty room. Like floating eyeballs! Someone’s come to get me. :priest: please sir won’t you save me from those floating eyeballs?
He left earlier today. I had the night to myself. Can’t see him to much or he’ll get tired of me. And I’ll get tired of him and then where would we be?
I was looking at technorati because Im a member but havent put the code into my blog. Do you have it on your blog?
yes…good idea. I also need my time alone. I dont know how married people do it…actually many of my friends are getting divorced or very unhappy.
I cant :bong: anymore…since high school really…just makes me terribly paranoid and eat too much.
:omg: the floating eyeballs are sending out those morse coded messages. How do they do that? No mouth, just eyeballs. To weird! This is obviously some Rovian trick. Where is Earnest Angsley when you need him?
hey, but I like the podcasts….and mentioned them in my blog and also linked to them.
I think that the pot of today is much stronger than what they had when I was young!….seems almost not worth it.
just shitting with ya! I don’t do drugs really. It would be nice to have a friend with some good quality pot however! I’d prolly get arrested if I tried to buy it. So I’m just . . . high on life!
Thanks Melina. I made a mistake and said in my last podcast that Kristapea said I sounded like John Edwards and remembered it was you later on. Sorry about that.
I once bought one spleeef in Jamaica and I did one hit and fell asleep!
THat is all Ive done really since high school…now I hardly drink either…
Oh I thought that she just agreed with me…:rofl2:
Im sure Im not the only one who thinks that!
I’m learning how easy it is to put things out there that turn out later not to be factual at all. I’ll try to do better. I do not however have the intellect or the wit of Maron. And ppl like Seder. My hero’s!
when you say a blog you should say the name and/or say that its linked to on your blog…. just so people dont wonder and we with blogs get more hits!
well, yoube got a great voice and delivery…and whats hard in blogging and podcasting, is that the professionals have writers and fact checkers…so it takes us alot longer.
so I should always say morningseditionists.com when mentioning the blog? okay cool
As I do research I get so much more material and so many more ideas…which is good…but Im always worried about fact checking.I wish I had an assistant to put all the links in and check the facts.
no…just say it the first time….thats all…or say that the links are on your blog.
Yes and your blog too!
like if you talk about a book someone was reading you should link to its amazon page…you can just do a little list like they do on the Majority Report….nothing big…but then people will start to link abck to you and you get traffic…
Yeah I’ll link to your blog! I haven’t done that. But I will tonight.
Thanks for the input Melina. I never thought of all this.
well, Im getting a good amount considering that I was only gonna use it for my international firends to get Times select originally and then I decided to use it for a bit of my angst and writing workout….its like my writing without rules place….I dont worry as much about things there. But I always worry about the truth of the content.
yes…and soemthign that I was thinking is that when you do your guests, be sure to try to research the people as much as you can and make a list of the things that you wonder abotu or want to ask about….so youre ready. Some people, like me, are talkative…but some people freeze up. So you want to be ready with questions.
It is somewhat therapeutic to write
something to think about, to consider.
Yeah. I go crazy if I dont. I just hate format….ugh!
I write too much…Im too wordy….a big pain in the ass for my college professors because all my papers were dense and 20 pages….
My podcasts are somewhat therapeutic for me also. A way to vent. I think I need to be more personable in them. To open up more about what I’m feeling and to talk about my concerns on a personal level.
its better to do little posts and link to cool things….just true and short and to the point. I just sort of empty out my mind….and its alot…
But I try to write about what I think about what is going on as opposed to just repeating the news. I dont know how much I succeed…
Well, I think youre doing a good job and as they go on they are getting more relaxed and sounding more professional.
It is hard to self edit. I used to write much more. In my old journal pages I wrote at length. No so much anymore. But I never really censor what I say. Prolly not so smart of me. But I don’t care. Perhaps I should . . . but I really do not care if people think I’m wierd or screwed up. They are probably right. But so . . . most people are somewhat screwy. Just one more to the mix. That’s all!
In my post tonight I linked to alot of youtube and crooks and liars because the best way to try to illustrate the craziness is via the funny….
well, it only depends on who you want your audience to be, as far as how much personal stuff you reveal. Liberals are pretty…um…liberal. But you can cross a line…so be careful.
I think that you have a good outlook and you are in a conservative place yet are part of a minority…a couple of minorities actually ifyou count being a liberal…
As for relaxed that is one reason why I purchased the field recorder tonight. I’ll take it with me on the road and talk while I travel for my job. Perhaps interview ppl I know on the road, in the towns I visit locally. I am becoming more at ease just talking to people. I was always the shy one in school. Never raised my hand and my face turned a nice shade of red when I was called on by my teachers to speak. Not so hard anymore.
I realize that Im from such a liberal place, NYC, and just have taken so many things in stride that its a different outlook. Its good for me to consider whats its like out there….Of course here people worry about the stigma of getting divorced and stuff….
Yes, and you can really show a cross section of how people feel out there….It would be so cool to go and see Marc play and record a little interview with him…or go to a state political convention and interview people there.
I have to say that I really love doing this. Even if no one were listening I’d still do it. I think it is helping me build confidence in myself. And I really am a curious sort. That is why I’m anxious to talk to people here on this blog. To record their thoughts, their concerns. I really think the people here would like to hear the voices of the people who blog here. I want to interview you soon. I’m certain we’d have a very good podcast together. Look forward to it.
We have CTBob who video blogs…and he is everywhere with Lamont, and getting all of this great stuff on video….
They have had Edwards and Lamont together up.
Yes…lets…Id be happy to.
Ive got alot of stories and info on the CT political front and from the old days in the clubs….
Ive got to sleep….Will has Ben sleeping over and we had a long day in the city with grandpa and grocery shopping etc…today…
Yes, I’d love to enter the den of the enemy and ask questions of them. How they feel about President Bush? The war in Iraq? Gay marriage? Would be cool to listen to them in a personal and direct way. Regardless of some of the backward attitudes of the people here in this state they are generally well intentioned and only want what is best for them and their children. My mom was the same way. I know that it troubled her to know that her son was gay. She loved me so. She just did not want harm to come of me. And the big religious questions that surround this issue worried her. So I think that living here in the south has given me a different outlook on people like this. No illusions to change their attitudes concerning gays. That will never happen. But we can and should be able to live together even with our differences.
okay Melina. Have a good night! TTYL

nick, if youre still out there you might be interested in this diary from Kos…it has alot of interesting links,
heh…I was just listening to the song BEN on Nick’s podcast….I used to love that song! Bsck when those movies wer eout I used to keep rats…and I thought that the animals were the only ones who understood me…come to think of it, thats still true.
OK…I need to shut this sucker down!
nite…
:omg::omg: Hey Druid!
Cool Melina I will take a look at it thanks. Nite!
How are your RATS, Druid? :banana::banana::banana:
cnickthomas, great article, so I am just hang’n :[ 😎 😉
Seems like everyone has turned in early this night or stayed out late! I could use some :joe::joe::joe: right about now!:yawn:
Get caught up on your work Druid? So are you going to run for political office? Commissioner?
cnickthomas , I personally think many have been — TOO NICE — especially regarding this “homo” thing (however one IS).
That is why I hold my mouth so much :smack: 😐 :growl: 😮
I just say what I think Druid and worry about the consequences later. Perhaps I’d do better to follow your example. But that would call for me to shut my mouth or bite my tongue and I am not good at doing that. I have certain principals that can’t be compromised.
Waiting for application … but it “looks” good plus there is mostly rethug Twits on Commission and they haven’t met me :banana: … I am up for Caring but GREAT in a Battle :growl::banana: :rofl2:
But my work thing is the key 😮
Go to bed when it is Destined we will all meet Online 😎 😉
I think you (Druid) shine more when you speak out here. You’re words ring true. I always like reading what you say. Sometimes it is difficult to follow. But I am getting better at it. We are all the better for having you here. And I am the better for knowing you through this site. So almost a blessing for this non Christian so-to-speak having found Marc Maron’s show and then this blog. It has saved me from a bordom, a lonesome night so many times.
I am so open — and I don’t think that is ever a problem — only for “mushies”. :rofl2:
Much luck in all you do. I have to believe that the world is waking to the criminal behavior of these rethugs in Washington. Bush’s numbers remain in the gutter, how apropos. If people will just focus their anger in the coming elections perhaps we’ll be rid of these evil people. That is my hope.
I worked in the “normal”, I then went into extreme actions, and now … many pathways if…hmmmm 😉
It’s so quite in here. One could hear a mouse scamper across the floor. Perhaps even a BIG RAT, one like BEN!
I too am waiting for elections but much now has to be “voiced” also.
But this blog kept me sane — almost :billcat: :rofl2:
How are you doing, although you should be “dreaming” ❓
:wink::cool:
I write/type as quick since I am so slow (now) . That is another reason why I may be so misunderstood — I go back and see words and letters missing .. it is all the Computers fault 😮 :spank: :rofl2:
and ultimately , oh well…..:wink:
Ben – written and performed by Michael Jackson
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I’ll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You’ve got a friend in me
(you’ve got a friend in me)
Ben, you’re always running here and there
You feel you’re not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don’t like what you find
There’s one thing you should know
You’ve got a place to go
(you’ve got a place to go)
I used to say “I” and “me”
Now it’s “us”, now it’s “we”
I used to say “I” and “me”
Now it’s “us”, now it’s “we”
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don’t listen to a word they say
They don’t see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I’m sure they’d think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben
I am :nixon: and a little :yawn: but doing okay I guess.
It’s cool . . . we’re all feeling good tonight!:banana::banana::banana:
“You make me feel like dancing
Im gonna dance the night away.”

I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing ahhh
Another good song writen by Leo Sayer
My darling Rats … they were Dead Rats Walking … but not now…
IF I HAD THE BLOODY TIME… I will …
Michael Jackson Was Innocent:!: (annd I never liked him much, except for Thriller) and it angers me that one of the greatest dancers of our times was blamed BY IDIOTS … (I can prove, if need be)
Man, what’s goin’ on? Gin, that’s what. Cnick!
I donno about MJ’s guilt or innocence. But no one can argue about Michael Jackson’s contribution to the world of Music. A great singer and songwriter was he. Just needs to steer clear of little boys!
Can I have a drink Travis?
:alc: Sure. Hold on, let me get it
im in downtown san francisco!
Party time!!!!
With sbue?
Watch out for them Queers Seanie! :paranoid:
:bong::alc:What a day. Actually I didn’t indulge in the tea.
I mean, with the tea. You kniw, the herb:bong:
Gots ya, Travis! :nod:
:doh:
:shock::paranoid:i thought all the queers were in alabama!
Has anyone ever looked on PORN sites? If he was quilty he would have TONS of “kiddie” porn. He had one very seldom site and that with women. He has a skin disease … and one song everyone said was so violent was a almost literal take off of a Gene Kelly dance … one , through the seaming violence, could moniter the dance steps, percisely (sp). I have called some shows … I can at least call … I have just scratched the surface regarding his (Michael’s ) “weird” actions
… but thanks, that is just one issue I have not had time to “vent”.
:tongue:
:rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: Sean – you’re so funny! :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: that was to damn funny! I’m having so much fun . . .
:banana: :banana: :banana:
I wish :bong::cool: … and I am even in this area — IF TIME I should make me at least Margarita :cool:s :alc: 😎
SeanMS :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:
by queer you mean weird backwoods fucks right?:doh:
Travis, did you learn anything profound from that meet? :banana:
I still believe it is Medicine
I would not take a pill to change the man I am. I LOVE it! Goddamnit! This is such a great damn place to be on a Saturday, excuse me . . . Sunday morning! Beats Church!!! :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:
Wait a minute . . . I feel like :banana: :banana: :banana:
You got it Seanie! 😉
Yeah, there’s a lot of fuckin’ sheeple out there!
I have to get some water:yuck:
:doh:oh so did you get it on with randi rhodes travis?:jerk:
On? like, HUH? No, I just saw here from a far. That’s good enough for me
:cool:i wanna meet randi!
maybe YOU could get on with her, then!
:banana:great idea! well how does she look in person?
I bet she’s a wild b in person! Meaning that in a good way of course. She’s not so pretty up close in her pix. But hey I’m a gay man. What do I know! Have at her Travis! I bet you could have some HOT sex with her. She looks like the kind that would rip you’re pants off and go to town, so-to-speak!
Oh, i forgot about it. it on:doh:
:rofl2:
Prolly give you a real good f***ing or at least an awesome blow job. Stay away from those hookers Seanie.
Excuse the gutter talk Druid.
i havent seen any hookers here yet:paranoid: there will be plenty when i get back down by the truckstop in ontario ca though!
Is Randi based in California? I thought she was in NYC. :doh: Prolly hang out at Air America studios and meet her that way. Or does she ever lurk around in here. If so, excuse the gutter talk about you Randi. I didn’t mean it. Seanie made me say all these things. He’s a bad influence on us all in here.
And everyone knows them truckdrivers all think they own the damn roads. Bad Bad. So Bad! Damnit
😡
CnickThomas, Jeffy made ya do it :spank:
So they congregate at the truckstop in Ontario do they? Hmm. You’ll prolly end up knocking some hooker up and getting her pregnant (with child) then you’ll be in the shit house for sure. Have to get a regular nine to five job. No more truckdriving and thinking you own the road. Nope, no more fun. No more nights on the road. Sad. So sad.
My brain is saturated with the juice:not good:40:
:shock:randi here? ok well im out of here then later sheeple!
And by the way I am the one that mentioned Porn first :rofl2::cool::rofl2:
um i will read the answer tomorrow!
what else could i get one pregnant with?
Jeffy is a bad ass for sure. That evil bastard. I read some of the bullshit coming out of his mouth in that so-called blog. I think he really believes what he says. Hate gay ppl do ya? Hmm, well. Whatever! I think Sean is really Jeffy. Got some split personality issues working there do ya Seanie? It’s cool. I like your sorry ass anyway. Bet that pisses you off Jeffy. Huh?
Travis pass that bottle over here! I need a :40:
I think it’s epty
cnickthomas re 257 :rofl2::lol::rofl2:
damn it Travis. Let’s take a trip to the liquor store.
Hey, it’s Saturday so a lil blu talk is funny …. now watch out on hmmmm when Monday :rofl2:
Mna, I would if I could. I just thinks it’s too long of a walk
Shhhh I was gonna make Margaritas but only had time for one thus Awwwww Hot Tea:joe: Yum…
unless Travis directs me hahaha:bong::cool:
Im not editing this stuff:blech:
You need to get you a car Travis. 21 years old and don’t have a car. I’d have gone cRaZy if I hadn’t had a car when I turned twenty-one. You need to hit that 89 year old woman you’re staying with up for a loan. Or better yet take her car for a joy ride. Hell, at 89 she’d prolly not even know you’re gone. You said her hearing was bad. Go man, take advantage of every opportunity. I need a :40: damnit
hey what’s goin’ DOWN HERE?
Oh, fuck. I got a hemp hat:banana:
you with sean?
Hey, I was 108 before I got my first car — 😉
You just have to get to Cafes … and
You also have charming water cabs 😉 “Tres” 😎
Ipicked up gin in the miata earlier, Cnick.
Just how old are you Druid? Damn!
then you don’t need me?
So you stole her car? Miata, doesn’t sound like a 89 year old woman’s car. She must really be hip!
Uh, no. Her son’s car.
Don’t mind Cnick he is down south — which is great — even though father was going to give to Aunt so I would become a “proper young lady” 😮 You All :alc::pent: 😮 😉
Despite the humiliation and the mistrust and the tangled web of conspiracy that exists in the West Bank and Gaza, there is still absolute dignity in the resistance of individuals here. I do not agree with my friend who says that the resistance has been reduced to little cells of desperate militants always looking over their shoulders; the resistance is also to be found among musicians who hold weekly concerts for free to sing the traditional heart-breaking songs of Palestine, it is also to be found among the teachers of the fatherless or motherless children who work to daily bring some joy and learning into their lives, it is even among the bus drivers who will drive impossible roads to help some passenger avoid a flying checkpoint.
ELIZA ERNSHIRE
we’re in the middle of a throw down, Nicki:mad::mad:Throw it donn too, but not someone else’s stuff
sean and I are pretty close.
I was in calistoga today.
minerals…
“Don’t mind cnick he is down south.” what in the hell is that supposed to mean? Excuse my English Druid. You know I love you. Have great affection for you. But WTF! O hell I’ll just go to the liquor store myself. On the other hand . . . where is that :bong: okay, there it is. Chill Sheeple. Hey sblue. We’re just having some fun here. No one is being mean. We’re all cool. Just sitting around having a party. Come join us!
maybe I’m being insensitive or something
I have said that since I was 5 or 6 ish so I won’t stop now. Bwah HaHa. Hilde (:wink: Sir Rose), Led, and Evanescence Oh My… :rofl2:
Hey NickiRose! Won’t a drink? You do? To bad, Travis drank it all up. I’ve got some :bong: for you though. Coolness. We’re all having a party in here. No church ladies. We’re all bad asses. Just having a bit of fun in this cRaZy ass fucked up world. I hate Geo W. Fucking two terms mandate Bush!
:rofl2:It’s smalls!
just so you know I a blogging from phone ans so my posts are really slow…i was talking about a stupid hemp hat.. I know you aren’t mean..i was just being silly and all thumbs here…
Travis you are a cool guy. I like you.
Bummed my trip with that post Nicki 🙁
My dear CnickThomas, You are from the “south” corrrect…Alabama? (Part one of the reason Why? :cool::wink::rofl2:
Stupid hemp hat? WTF? there’s no such thing. I’m a need machine. Plus, yours will be so much cooler
sorry
Yes, I was born and raised in a house with a dirt floor in Alabama. We had an out door toliet up until I was thirteen years old. I used to hang out with my brother on the street corner in Sheffield to panhandle. It was the best a poor boy from Sheffield, Alabama, could do. A sad pathetic life it was.
NOTE: The only part of the above which is true is I was born and raised in Alabama. The rest was for affect or is that effect. You must excuse me. I’m from Alabama.
I’m confused!
Sir Rose aka NickiRose, I love the info and though just perfect to keep us balanced ….. You know my attitude and like it all with my “palate”
Thumb it down, Sblue. I’m about ready to crash
:joe:
:banana: So this is where the party is!:banana: ….Just about time to break out the whisky!:40:
Damn it is getting late here in the east. 2:04 AM
Hey Crick you guys have whisky rivers in bammy don’t ya:grin:
Yeah you’ll have to BYOB here. Travis drank all the Gin. I only got one swig (spelling?)
Wild turkey lurkey?
cnickthomas you are my sanity in “the south”…. that is my LBH (Travis:wink:) = Lead Balloon Humour … I was just sharing with you a humour true-ism. More???
you must of already had one to many moonlightman. My name is cnick not crick. As to your question. WTF? Isn’t that some damn country lyric or something? Your just pulling my chain.
cnickthomas 😎 :doh:
Evening all!!! No prob crick got a full jug here! at least for awhile!
travis…how about a cool wool hat?
We’re not all retards here in Alabama. Some of us escaped the brainwashing. I think the aliens kept me safe. Maybe it was all that pot I smoked in my days in college. Pot was better then. It’s like watered down whiskey today. Lost its punch. Hell I don’t even get the munchies anymore when I smoke it. There’s something wrong with this shit. :eek::eek::eek: :yuck::yuck::yuck:
are you Jason?
😯 nope not pulling your chain cnick!:paranoid:
Cheers to all — since I can never keep up … Susan Joy :pent: SBlueHeron :pent:
MoonLightMan there are more secrets re you :no: 😉
And NickiRose did you get my humour directed just to you 😉
But you already started, right? I mean, why do we have to go and change things when it was fine before. I don’t get it. If it’s already made, then that’s cool. Any hat. But ther e was the link to um knitty maze or somwthing. that was a good hat.
sblue did you get the article I posted on Napa? I think you had already left
hey Druid
not jason
MM
too hard to blog
I miss you guys
but I’m hanging with some cool people here and got manhandled.
ha ha ha.
Shoot, with all this tttttalk I should make a Margarita , but that include Pratical Magic :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: How Convenient — Most Excellant:!:
Re 305, its cnick moooonliteman, you need to hurry home before you break something or drive off the road. G’nite MLM, Marc Maron, Jason or whoever you are!
Actually cnick I do not think southerners are retards at all. Granted you guys have some wackos there, but there is a nice southern warmth that exists as well. I listened to your podcast and you have a real charming southern accent.
manhandled sounds fun sblue 😉
Thanks man. You’re cool too.
I never said I was a great typist, actually I am Randi Rhodes!
Actually Southerners get pissed on alot. It’s really unjust. Many really good people in the South!
NOooooooooO!
a post about napa
can you nutshell it for me
moonlight?
:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2: Re 320 you are so cool man. Goddamnit, I am having FUN now! :banana::banana::banana:
So do I have to reread and find out why “tension”…
I AM THE BAD :spank: SLOW SPELLER … so is everyone :banana:
“She’s a Witch”… some here understand :rofl2: :rofl2: :tongue:
Many Southerners I meet have a graciousness and a hospitality that the world really needs, and has lost unfortuneately.
No I am Randi … How Dare You Marc Maron:!:
Druid . . . I love you!
It was just a NYTimes article about Napa Food and all. Is it the Crush yet Heron?
Druid…:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:
Like I said, I was to be given to Southern – Belle Aunt to be taught how to be a Proper Young Lady :nod: :omg: :banana:
Let’s Dance NickiRose
I should be tired its 2:27 here in Bham.
I want to dream about some HOT man coming to sweep me off my feet. And we live happily ever after in a house with a white picked fence. Is that to much to ask? Damnit
agent provocateur= moonlightman:nod:
Coolness I am tied with Kevin. Damn
cnickthomas :knit::yawn::gate:May Your Dreams Come True 😉
Hot damn
Now I’m ahead of Kevin
Gee Travis, Thanks! what a complement! I try REALLY hard.
Bye bye Kevin M, catch me if you can baby!
crushing grapes?
or the little crush I have on the
hand man
or the moonman
must be grapes…
I will taste a little wine maybe…
travis I will still knit for your Needyness.
did I read that randi jumped your bones?
moonlightman I read … Red :alc:
As the Heron flew North 😉
Ugh. now I don’t feel right about this whole thing.
:tongue: At first glance I read moonlightman’s post re 338 to read: “Gee Travis, Thanks! What a complement! You made me really hard!” It’s the gayness in me. Excuse me please. I am such a silly southern queer!
When it’s the crush in the Napa Valley you would know it. The grapes perfume the air. It smells like wine everywhere.
He’s the Mole:omg:
I really need to go to BED! I cannot sleep once the sun comes up. Not like Druid who I am beginning to believe is a vampire instead of a witch. Confess to us here my dear!
sblueheron Mine is soooo darker :omg: 😎 …
“And The Murder echoes the demand NEVERMORE!”
😎 :omg::omg::omg: 😎
Confessional time. Its Sunday morning folks. Time to confess you’re sins. Everyone already knows mine. So I’ll spare you.
oh travis….
I misunderstood…
cnickthomas :omg::rofl2: 😎 :[ 😉 I have been called 😎
Night
I confess…. I am not Randi Rhodes…..Druid may be however.:nod:
Are you leaving us Druid? Or am I just having a hard time following you again?
I did not think you were Randi Rhodes Moonlightman. I do not think you’re Marc Maron either. But I might be wrong!
I am not leaving, I just figured everyone is, since I am a creature of the night …:wink:
I think Druid just confessed to being a VAMPIRE.:omg:
I’d buy you a hemp hat Travis if I could smoke part of it. :bong: I wish someone would put some more music on the stereo. Do I have to do everything around here? Travis you’ve made such a mess. Gin bottles everywhere. Druid get those damn RATS back in their cage! What you think this is? Animal farm or something? Do I look like you sheeples mother or something?
sblueheron, that is the area I was born in … Enjoy all your dreams:wink:
Druid do you like red liquids? ahem….Red Wine?
Druid you are from the wine country?
cnickthomas, but I do have ex-strays sleeping around me … I was good and put the lower end of the food chain in their cages … but I am :banana:
So you children turn the lights off when you come to bed. I cannot stay up any longer or I’ll have a helluva headache when I wake at dawn in a few hours. I enjoyed the party. We can really throw down can’t we? Hell yeah! Now if I only had some dick my night would be perfecto. O well. Good things come to those who wait. Nite young souls. I love you all. Guys and girls alike. Bye till dawns early light. Sleep well.
Nite crick…. I have my glasses on now!
Red hummmm Wine … Oh Yes
I am just drinking tea, but your talks makes me think of :pent:
Susan Joy (for sure) Margaritas 😎 :alc: :banana:
cnick
later dudes
cnickthomas :knit: :gate: Merry Travels Night and Day, in any venues
OneDay lets talk :love::wink::cool:
Druid….by the way if you are truly a vampire could you do the world and your country a favor…..just remember to spit it out.
did I freak out travis?
I sure made a mess
I love the way I close down a “hopping” blog
Shepherds Chaple and I am in the mood for other “fun” so OFF It Goes
I am making margaritas :banana:
No, I don’t get freaked out by anything. Paranoia get’s me everytime. that and jealousy.
We all love one another here people…..please remember that. Blogging and email tends to distort humor and communication in general. I have seen many times where people completely misunderstand one another. Its sort of natural to the medium. Just somthing to keep in mind:grin::love:
Oh maybe those Hare Krishna munks
monks
Travis…..:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:
with what?
you are so hard on yourself
unnecessarily…
unless you are talking about driving the porcalin bus…
then well ok…
I just walked to where THE RAT MANSIONS are … and for the first time ever LION was sleeping on one of the cages, as Shepherds Chaple drones on about The End Times — WRONG :jerk:s :growl:
Travis dear, your saddess is the beginning of writing … think of those that have walked this path … :nod::omg::nod:
medium can be taken in so many ways 3-5 as Malloy says “Right Now” TeeHee
goodnight sheeple
hope all is well
with various and sundry
especially sundry
heron flies north
then east, south and west…
oh and then home again.
G’night
What I meant is the mode of communication. Its really true, our minds color what we see on the computer. The interpretations somtimes do not reflect what is meant. Email can be very deceptive. It is a quick form of communication, but not always “true” to intent, especially with people you have never met. Jokes can be taken as offensive.
sure we need that ambiguity of facial expressions and voice inflation to really get a deeper sense of:paranoid::tinfoil:
the buzz is leaving but my head is starting to hurt:doh:Fuck I had to spend fifty bucks at the DMV today:mad:
Smoking or drinking?
Hey, man, I’m legal:peace: that’s as far as I’m going
I just lost a post…
trav can you come out monday night for a walking tour given
by an old friend and noted seattle historian?
I can pick you up
around 5 pm
Wow. Yeah! I think so!
I now have a margarita — awwwww wickedly good Bwah HaHa, now in background …. teehee
good then
cherrio
later. 😎
love to all…
sblueheron , Be Well SBluHeron
Druid it seems you got your drink just as the party is ending…..
Yes, But in the back gound is Pratical Magic and I am listening to Stairway …Awwwww 😎
So Moon are you also leaving me now?
Sean pointed out how you leave an hour before you are due on stage … teehee I am such a Witch 😎
I have a few minutes………..actually I just poured a nightcap.
And no one likes Hidegard or Evanescence 🙁
well if they knew them I am sure they would.
What is your “nightcap”? … you know who Led Z is right?
Cognac…….Led Zeppelin……….
Cognac … yum….. what kind?
I had some really expensive cognac a couple weeks ago… Martin something.
Maron doesn’t drink!
Oh, remy martin
Hildegard Von Bingen — she was a 1400th century Abbess and I believe was the Start of the Later Gregorian Chants (forgive all spellings)
Um, I’m not being first
Travis how would describe Evanescence … I will but prefer you since it is “your time-ish”
I just realized what time — go I will re-ask
Travis go be #2 please :banana:
sorry druid i have to find some low grade aspirin and fall asleep:peace:
