Here we go, another Monday, after an uneventful weekend (a few boom-booms, some religious pilgrims murdered, a couple of truce violations, all a part George Bush’s march to democracy). Let’s see that this week brings.

:banana:i am nefarious!
ahhh see I drew you back to the blog with my mind power :pent: :tongue::banana::yinyang::tinfoil:
Now my :banana: is broken again :shock::fustrate::paranoid:
hmm mine just stopped dancing also…
Where is Sean this morning :?::?::?:
well at least they still look happy… :banana:
I have heard that Java does strange things when it runs on different platforms.. Just remember that DOD defends your country with software than causes intermittently dancing bananas …:eek::eek::eek::fustrate::fustrate::paranoid:

Ten dead in Moscow market blast
An explosion has killed 10 people – including at least two children – at a Moscow market, Russian officials say.
At least 16 other people were injured in the blast at 1030 (0630GMT) at the eastern Cherkizovsky market. It brought down a two-storey building.
There are conflicting reports about the cause of the explosion.
According to Moscow’s First Deputy Mayor Vladimir Resin, a “makeshift explosive device” blew up. Earlier police blamed a faulty gas cylinder.
Latest reports from Moscow police say a bomb had been hidden in a bag and left in a cafe.
According to some witnesses, there were two explosions at the market.
Gas cylinders are widely used at Moscow’s markets for heating and cooking.
“As far as I know, there was one explosion, but the way I see it, it was not an accident but a premeditated act,” Mr Resin told Russia’s Itar-Tass news agency.
Rival criminal gangs in Moscow occasionally plant small bombs at markets.
Chechen rebels or their supporters have also exploded bombs or taken hostages in Moscow, killing dozens of people, but the last such attack was more than a year ago.

Who knows..:eek::eek::eek::omg:
gas cylinders are used for heating and cooking? WTF? That does not sound cool…
VIOLENT CRIMES INCREASE
A 2005 Federal Bureau of Investigation crime report, issued last month, showed violent crime increasing for the first time in four years in 2005, up 2.5 percent from the year before, with medium-size cities and the Midwest leading the way.
While New York, Los Angeles and Miami still are enjoying drops in crime, smaller cities with populations of more than 500,000 are raising the alarm, posting an 8.3 percent rise in violent crime in 2005. Nationwide, the murder rate rose 5 percent — the biggest rise in a single year since 1991.
After dramatic declines in murder rates in the 1990s, some cities dropped programs that emphasized prevention and controls on the spread of guns, often citing budget cuts.
“The Bush administration has scaled back funding for federal cops program,” said Jens Ludwig, a criminal justice expert at Georgetown University. “From 1993 to 2000 we saw an impressive run-up in the number of law enforcement people patrolling against crime. That has really slowed down.”
Of the 57 murders in Kansas City this year, 45 involved guns. “When things start getting out of control, people start shooting,” said police Capt. Richard Lockhart.
Police in Indianapolis are clocking overtime after a dozen shootings in less than a week at the start of August that began with a cab driver gunned down. The city has had 71 murders this year, up from 51 a year ago

Lots of people falling out the bottom and a lot of frustration especially among the people who were already poor.:eek::eek::eek::fustrate::fustrate::paranoid:
The Russian infrastructure stopped being developed in about 1905.. Ours about 1990.
:fustrate::fustrate::fustrate::fustrate::paranoid:
Bush cut funding… this really blasts the theory that Repugs are “law and order”people…
The thugs really believe that if you don’t give people public assistance that they will learn to pull themselves up by their boot straps.. Instead it causes people to have to stand in lines at soup kitchens, live under bridges, go into the drug business and hold up rich druncks.:eek::eek::eek::jason::jason::jason::jason:
With the poor job creation during the Bush admin and with all the layoffs there have to be lots and lots of people who are in the 17 – 30 year old range that have never had and still can’t find a job..:eek::eek::eek::eek::jason::jason::jason::jason:
because they believe that the reason people are poor are always their own faults and that poor people are simply lazy, so if you take away assistance they’ll just “stop being lazy and get jobs” Really naive, faulty thinking. There just aren’t that many jobs, (first flaw in the thinking) – the system is set up so it rewards only people who have specific skills prized by the “free market” (not everyone has, or can have these skills), and many people don’t flourish in extremely competitive situations. And I’m sure I just touched on the most obvious faults in their thinking and that there are many others.
yeah, the Bushies ignore, (and lie about) economic conditions, so in their world everything is rosy and everyone’s happy in their cushy jobs, or should be…
anyone with their eyes open can see the job situation out there is NOT good…
There is this discusion on C-span about how to get student achievement test scores up.. What they should be doing is creating reasonably good jobs for the students that don’t want to or can’t go to college. With college costs these days and the wages of the middle class self destructing there have to be a whole lot of recent high school graduates that are unemployed but not counted as such living at home bugging their parents and/or holding up the rich drunks.
they place too much emphasis on standardized test scores anyway. But I’m sure that’s an easier way for them to judge what is going on the schools and it doesn’t require any real analysis on their part, so whatever. The schools need work and nobody in any of these C span shows would have a clue with what’s really wrong with them, and those ivory tower politicians really annoy me when they talk about educaiton, so I just won’t watch
Good point about creating jobs for kids not wanting to go to college. There should be well-paying jobs for people with all kinds of goals out there.
In the 1970’s some kid with a 7th grade education could go to work in steel mill, an auto plant or in construction and make a very good living.. When I worked for DOT we had to exempt the steel mill in Pueblo from our salary surveys because a typical worker working two shifts could bring in 60 thousand a year or more. They were paying like $ 25 an hour then and employed like 5000 workers.. One of our engineers was single and lived in a boarding house owned and run by a steel worker and his wife.. He was ticked off because with a Masters degree he was making less than 20k a year at the time. Now that mill employs about 500 people and pays them around $15 an hour. :yuck::yuck::yuck::fustrate::paranoid:
Greetings All Again,
:nod:Fred and Susan Joy re ALL you have written here.
But besides those without much Education …I worry how the rethugs seem to praise the ones with little education and make the enemy of those also with Education. Yet ALL is due to Entropy speeding now. It was said the 1980’s was the last change to truly slow the Nation’s/World’s speeding towards the demise. We HAVE to stop the downward flow ❗ First is to change Congress and get this INSANE (and yes bush (and his goonies) but for now ) Bush is truly insane and now proven and Proclained by Dr. Justin Frank.
:nod: ARREST! IMPEACH! VIGILANCE!
Oh and YEA :banana:SeanMS is #1 :banana:YEA:grin:
The lack of any real world people on AAR bothers me too. They always talk with people in the blogosphere or people who write books with left leaning content but they never go out and see how many people are in line at the soup kitchen or living under the bridge or living in the shelter and ask them why they are there. I would bet that in metro Denver there are 100,000 of those types of people.:eek::eek::crap::crap::jason::jason::jason:
These people are not counted as being unemployed.. The elite whether they are demodorps or thugs just ignore them and hope they will freeze to death so they will disappear.. :jason::jason::jason:

How are the rats and the cats this morning ???
I think one should pay attention to how the Iraqi’s are solving their problems with US imperialism and follow suit . Just changing the pigs at the trough is not going to solve anything..:crap::crap::crap::eek::eek::rant1:
Aljazeera needs a C-span type program broadcast by satellite and over the Internet to America..That coupled with some megawatt radio transmitters in South America saturating the air with liberal and revolutionary talk would drive the corporatists up the wall.:eek::eek::eek::eek::jason::jason::jason::jason:
I can never keep up with you people … :tongue:
and I have got to stay up (and appear “close” to norm kinda) to stand up for Tree Sitters and Tree Protesters. PALCO is attacking from ALL directions.
Fred, Rats are :cool:cool but ex-strays are fighting a bit tonight — but not when I am around 😉
Reading what you all wrote and link’d
And it makes me livid 😡 that the autumn and winter are nearing and I see no plans for those in need. But lets all say bush’s type of amen …
Could you imagine.. Some thug walks into Aljazeera’s Qatar studio and the door closes behind him and two people in back sweaters with ski masks and assault rifles block the exit and the interviewer begins the interview with a declaration that the thug will really tell us what he thinks not just speak the party line. Would the answers be any different ?? Would the thug ever come back ?? Would the party disappear him afterwards.. Would he pee his pants.:eek::eek::eek::crap::fustrate::paranoid:
Good morning sheeple!
I need two more posts to pass sbluefox, at least for now
That did it!

She the “interviewer” is making me crazy :fustrate: also

It is All my Fault ultimately, I believe. MY HEAD HURTS :doh::fustrate::billcat:
I have to write today at the trial :SCREAM::fist:
Looks like I am going to have to stand on my chair .. lots of FAUX news viewers calling into WJ this morning..:yuck::yuck:
Bush is INSANE ❗
This is what I do not understand … WHY is ANYONE WITH SANITY and with ANY POWER not doing something about this IDIOT:!:
There are several abandoned farm towns in eastern Colorado that look a lot like the neighborhoods in NO they are driving through..
The NO residents that moved here were like 5th generation and it took a lot to get them to leave .. Now their homes are being foreclosed on even if they can’t live in them. The repossession/ debt collection people and the people who run the banks they represent need to be taken out and executed.:jason::jason::jason::jason:
I don’t understand why there are no citizen groups that have formed to start direct action against the corporatist Bush administration. Obviously demonstrations are ineffective and you are not going to get five million people in the streets of DC. On the other hand the guy at freeperville said he was selling a lot of assault rifles even those 5 grand 50 cal ones… one has to wonder why and to whom..:eek::eek::eek::eek::fustrate::fustrate::paranoid:
The people have been indoctrinated to use the legal system to solve disputes but at 200 – 400 dollars an hour a lawyer is beyond the reach of a lot of people even in the upper middle class not to mention the poor from the NO area. The court system is normally full of delays and the banks and the dept collectors make for more delays but the clock keeps running even if you are not getting anything done. Mean while the bulldozers are attacking your neighborhood.
The only thing that will ward off this attack on people is a counter attack and not by another bulldozer.:jason::jason::jason::jason::jason:
PJ we really need a Chicago Piano emo here.. this is getting serious.
An AC130 emo would also be nice.. How about an SS27 emo too.

:doh:my mom said she doesnt like the estate tax this morning because she doesnt want me to have to pay taxes if she gives her house to me!
my moms house is worth about 46000
:nod:and other than that she doesnt have anything not a thing she doesnt even have health care!
I think something like that she, your Mom Should Not Have To Fear. I Understand and Believe. But if a zillion dollars one should have to pay accordingly. Most of major industries (ie the land owners got off of our backs and NOT PAYING THEIR Fair Share)
w thinks and acts as King, I proclaim to be Cat the Queen in America. I AM FAIR and HONEST:!: Whereas W is 👿

I am also tired of Rachel laughing as we are going to literal:crap:
i met rachel she seems pretty nice
:nod:hey look a cozy little batcave!
Perhaps they were playing with us again:
“The Briton alleged to be the ‘mastermind’ behind the airline terror plot could be innocent of any significant involvement, sources close to the investigation claim.
Rashid Rauf, whose detention in Pakistan was the trigger for the arrest of 23 suspects in Britain, has been accused of taking orders from Al Qaeda’s ‘No3’ in Afghanistan and sending money back to the UK to allow the alleged bombers to buy plane tickets.
But after two weeks of interrogation, an inch-by-inch search of his house and analysis of his home computer, officials are now saying that his extradition is ‘a way down the track’ if it happens at all.
It comes amid wider suspicions that the plot may not have been as serious, or as far advanced, as the authorities initially claimed.
Analysts suspect Pakistani authorities exaggerated Rauf’s role to appear ‘tough on terrorism’ and impress Britain and America.
A spokesman for Pakistan’s Interior Ministry last night admitted that ‘extradition at this time is not under consideration’”.

Good morning, Druid. Don’t :fustrate: The Bush administration will do it for you.
some redneck wrote this on a myspace message board
The Pentagon announced today the formation of a new 500-man elite fighting unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces. These Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas boys will be dropped off into Iraq and have been given only the following facts about terrorists:
1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don’t like beer, pickups, country music, or Jesus.
5. They are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the death of Dale Earnhardt.
They expect the problem in Iraq to be over very soon…

Um, is hemp tough to work with?
Travis, what are you planning to do with hemp?
TRAVIS!:banana:
:bong:
Uh, wha…um, a certain someone said that they could knit a cool hemp for me, but I don’t know if the plan has changed. I think hemp may be difficult to work with, so I’m willing to compromise with wool. :yawn:
I have hemp in hand…
Oh, I forgot hat up there. A cool hemp hat.:doh:
:banana:
bring your hat when you come out for the walking tour tonight..
I want to check it out
:knit:
Gypsy..still planning the Maronade Calvacade?
OK, will do…Um, I have to start working on the deck here pretty soon, before the sun starts frying the place. I guess I have to repaint it. Yep, that’s what good house guests do, I guess.
:hubba:you got a chick knitting you a hat huh?
CHICK!?!?!:fu::spank:
:rofl2:
:knit:
Hey, Sblue, I might be interested in trying out some hemp for knitting. What’ll it take? (I really should just call you. Sigh!)
I talked to Ol Zeb yesterday and he and I are still planning a Maronade Cavalcade, but if it’s just the two of us it won’t be as impressive as we’d hoped. I bought my dress for the event however. (Jeans and t-shirts might work for most events but if Mishna is opening for Marc there has to be at least one person in the audience wearing black with heavy chrome accents…)
How long you going to work out there travis?
what’s the plan- you want to meet somewhere? The meetup is at 5:30 so we should maybe plan for 4:45:tongue:
I was going to work until then. We could meet up anywhere.
Want me to come pick you up at the house?
Yeah, that’s cool. I’ll see then. 4:45
The dress sounds:cool:gypsy…
…I was kind of shocked at how much hemp I have in the stash with no plan so I will bring a skein or two for you to try out…
:peace: You don’t think you hurt Sean, do ya?
I’d better start knitting him a driving cap:knit::knit2::knit:
Hey everyone…just in for a little while before Will’s drum lesson…
God…I guess its the “suiciders” that we have to worry about….damn president sounds like such an idiot…it would be funny if it werent so pathetic.
good afternoon sheeple, what’s happening? :jesus:
Hey, I made it through an entire shift conscious. It’s not good for me to be this tired already – it’s only Monday.
Plus the local PBS station has moved History Detectives back to 10 PM instead of 9 PM. Maybe I’ll tape it and go to bed early. At least it’s back after being off for two weeks. Damn pledge drives.:growl:
Speaking of the local PBS station, they’re holding debates this week for the FL governor’s primaries. The Repigs (Charlie Crist and Tom Gallagher) are at it Tuesday, with the good guys (Rod Smith and Jim Davis) to follow on Wednesday. I’ll let everyone know if there are any revelations good or bad. Our primary is Sept 5, right after a holiday weekend. Not good.
Sometime after the primary, they are also scheduling a senatorial debate with Bill Nelson vs. whoever the Repig nominee is. Presumably Cruella, assuming the men in the white coats haven’t dragged her off to the happy home by then.
I’m assuming Nelson’s game plan is to stand behind the podium, look senatorial, and let Harris hang herself with her own rope. Should be fun!

Oh, dear! From Scripps News Service Aug. 19, 2006::
NASA loses thousands of historic Apollo moon tapes
In an admission that embarrassed NASA and dismayed historians, the U.S. space agency announced Tuesday that it has lost more than 13,000 videotapes from the Apollo program, including footage of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s historic 1969 first walk on the lunar surface. The quality of those images is far better than the flickering presentations Americans watched live at the time, engineers have said. NASA officials believe the tapes are stored somewhere at the vast Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., near Washington.
Lost moon tapes? shhh, maybe the landing never really happened and that’s proof… :tinfoil: JUST kidding (I believe, with wide-eyed wonder, in the early space exploration thing)
In 1995, before he thought of running for public office, he was interviewed by Jerusalem Report, an Israeli magazine. It informed its readers that he had “no particular desire to visit Israel.” He “had a bar mitzvah in a Conservative synagogue; is currently a member of one temple in Westchester [!] and one in Manhattan. [!!]” But, he proudly announced, “’I’m not terribly religious …. I don’t spend time davening. If I don’t call God, he won’t call me.’ But he does have firm views on Israel, and on Jewish philanthropy: ‘I won’t give too much money to the U[nited] J[ewish] A[ppeal],’ he says, ‘because of the hold the religious have on Israel. I have one wish: Shoot all the clerics.’”

Okay, today we get a recipe. It was in last week’s NY Times and I so wish I could make it. I don’t eat cheesecake but a fruit-topped meringue…THAT I would eat! I would probably cook it at a higher temperature, though.
1978: Forget-It Meringue Torte
This recipe is from Molly Chappellet, an owner of Chappellet Vineyards. It appeared in a New York Times article by Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey.
Butter
1 1/2 cups egg whites (9 to 11 eggs)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup heavy cream
3 -10-ounce packages frozen raspberries, defrosted, or fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons kirsch or framboise liqueur.
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter an angel-food-cake pan. In a mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar. With the mixer on high speed, gradually add 2 1/2 cups of sugar. Add the vanilla and almond extracts, and beat to stiff, glossy peaks.
2. Spoon the meringue into the pan. Level the top. Place in the oven, and turn off the heat. Do not open the door until the oven is cool, 4 hours or overnight.
3. Push up the removable bottom of the pan. Cut away the top crust; reserve the crust and the crumbs. Unmold the cake onto a plate. Just before serving, whip the cream with 1 tablespoon sugar, then ice the cake with it. Chop the reserved crust to make crumbs, then sprinkle them around the sides and top of the cake, pressing gently.
4. In a bowl, combine the raspberries, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and kirsch. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Serve the cake sliced with the sauce spooned on the side. Serves 12.
Ran into this at a street fair Saturday. Vote Rich CorporateSon for Oregon Governor, Hal Burton campaign manager.
If you are still around, Gypsy, I am interested in the Maronade Cavalcade. Call me or email.
:omg:
The use of the word “temple” to describe modern houses of prayer offends some traditional Jews, because it trivializes the importance of The Temple. The word “shul,” on the other hand, is unfamiliar to many modern Jews. When in doubt, the word “synagogue” is the best bet, because everyone knows what it means, and I’ve never known anyone to be offended by it.
You confuse me, :sdavid::pent:!
:rofl2:
:jesus:
I thought Malloy was going to substitute for Randi this week.
The Sun never sets on Tyger Thom!
:omg:
hmm, ok, most Jews I know use the term “shul”…
offended by the word “temple”? allllright…
SHUL
SHUL
SHUL
OKAY! :bow::sdavid::pent:
Yeah, I read about Rich Corporateson’s campaign somewhere. And I think Tom “drone and bore me” Hartman interviewed Hal Burton a few months back. I wonder if they ever got enough signatures to appear on the ballot? Burton said the campaign, while clearly satirical, was serious.
Rich Corporateson, Inc has a Myspace blog which is really interesting and fun to read.
Wan, I’ll email you tonight. My cell phone just died (I fell asleep on the couch as usual and failed to recharge it….) but I’m pretty sure we’re shooting to take the train to Seattle on the 29th. I’ll have to confirm that with Ol’ Zeb and he just started a new job so it could be a little iffy for him.
It must be a New York thing.
:doh:
My parents use temple, shul, and synagogue somewhat interchangeably, although synagogue usually refers to the edifice itself, and shul to the congregation. :sdavid::fist:
maybe it’s because although I’m an ‘assimilated” Jew, my grandparents (who were eastern Eurpopean) spoke primarily Yiddish and probably never used the term “temple” or “synagogue” in their life….so none of us grew up hearing it…
:sammy:was in my Safari address bar yesterday. but he has disappeared today.:cry:
TEMPLE= The one in Jerusalem.
Synagogue= The structure, the building itself (ie, Temple Beth Israel).
Shul=Leute. So viel leute heute in das shul.
I am still damned confused.
:omg:
Oh, yeah, I saw “Who Killed The Electric Car?” yesterday. Great movie. If you haven’t seen it yet, go. There was a representative of the Oregon Electric Car Association in the lobby of the theater and every person who saw the movie was snatching up information and talking to him. It’s a very troubling tale of the rape of the nation and our environment. Next week it’ll be “An Inconvenient Truth” to round out my environmental movie viewing for the season.
my grandparents (and parents) used it like this “we’re going to shul and we’ll meet you there later” they meant it to be the actual place. Nothing really confusing
I saw “The Devil Wears Prada” on the upstairs screen.
yeah, go see “Inconvenient Truth” … very informative…the man is a very interesting and fun to watch. Gone is the “boring, stiff” Al Gore from the old days
Nah it’s not a NY thing. I was born and raised in Portland OR my family used shul and synagogue but not temple except when referring to the Reform congregation Temple Beth Israel. Some people pronounce shul shy-ul–different dialect of yiddish I guess.
How do the people at that radical Westchester place–the one you share with the mayor– refer to their “shul”?
You all stick together!
I am OUT OF HERE! :omg:
I don’t know…I’d be afraid to approach such scary radical jews :omg:
muahahaha 😉
What about that Manhattan gang you run around with? Jew Cruisers.
:omg:
Fuck YOU, Hartman. There is a left in this country. And we will deal with your petty bourgeois capitalist ass once we take charge.
😡
Listen. What does it matter if I say “shul” “synagogue” or “temple” – the ceiling still falls down when I step inside being that I’m really pagan in my religious practices, and the last time I SERIOUSLY attended a religious ceremony it was outside in the woods somewhere calling more than one deity… :omg::pent:
Jew Crewers say “shul”…I heard them
you tell off Thom! He’ll sick the founding fathers on you!!!!
Fine. What are goy shacks, then?
some people ask me if I’m Jewish
Some people look at me and know
some people want to know if I believe in Jesus
and have trouble when the answer is, well, no
Some people think that that’s my right
some people think that I am damned
some people think I’m part of a conspiracy to take over the world
and rule with an iron hand
you see the protocols of the elders of zion are true
and I am a member of standing
our goal is to milkk all the money from you
it’s world domination we’re planning
oh no, there I go, I let the cat right out of the bag
will you keep my secret I pray?

Does the ceiling fall down in that place in Westchester? Who are they trying to send a message to? What do the clerics think of all of this disruptive activity?
A cathedral is the main goy shack in a diocese.

ah. Well I don’t know about most churches. For some reason I do ok in Catholic churches in Mexico, though, no walls caved in even a little. Of course they’ve got Guadalupe in there, and though she’s not exactly pagan, she certainly gives a knowing “wink” at many of the practices…

Hartman should tell the truth about 911 .. It wasn’t any more of a crime to the Islamic people than the US bombing of Dresden or Tokyo was to the US. The US in its desire for empire has ticked about 20% of the worlds population off.. They have no army, navy or air force but they do have suicide bombers.. and financing and maybe soon they will have nuclear weapons and a delivery system ( the delivery system most often says Sea Land on the side):eek::eek::eek::eek::yuck::yuck::yuck::crap::crap::crap::gate::omg::jason::fist:

My mother these days calls her place of worship the senior center. And my father calls it the bathroom. I call it a little spot on Sauvie Island that echoes with the voices of the gods. And sometimes places in Forest Park. And sometimes the beach at Ft. Stevens. And sometimes my own backyard.
cool gypsy :peace:
A synagogue (Hebrew: ??? ???? ; beit knesset, “house of assembly”; Yiddish: ???, shul) is a Jewish place of religious worship. The word “synagogue” is derived from the Greek ????????, transliterated synagogé, “place of assembly” literally “meeting, assembly”. It is where Judaism’s Jewish services are held and conducted .

There you go..:eek::omg:

I guess from Hartman’s last two callers that its difficult to see the problem with your head up your ass. These Islamic leaders are not stupid.. they know that they can’t defeat us militarily but they can introduce a disease into the colony and it will spread to destroy all of its occupants.. its called conservatism….It must be destroyed or seriously minimized before it spreads any farther than it has.:omg::mad::rant1:
school desks?
I derive all I know about world religions from sticking the appropriate phrases into the Wikipedia search engine..Judaism around here has most of their services in English.. maybe a “shul” is the place where they do it in Jewish/Yiddish/Greek/Latin whatever..
“schul” is just yiddish word for a synagogue. It’s the same thing, i tell you, but some Jews don’t know yiddish
I will have to call the Rabbi after dinner and ask him..:paranoid: You meet all these religious leaders every Sunday at the soup kitchen. They come to see how a lot of the members of their congregations are doing.:eek::fustrate::paranoid:
Nooo 😳 Actually a lot of there places of worship have their youth groups working in the soup kitchen on Sunday afternoon. :omg:

Right on NickiRose (re 144)!!! 🙂 – I am so ready for a socialist radio network. I’m not able to take on creating such a project myself, but I sure will support anyone who takes that on. Malloy and Seder is all that’s tolerable on AAR for me anymore. I’m glad I never expected much of this DLC/DNC mouthpiece anyway, but I get bored searching the archives at kpfa, wbai, enemycombatantradio and radio4all. Hartmannwas featured at SolFest here in northern California a couple years ago, and he was tolerable then, but that was before I saw what a pro-capitalist asshead he is. :no: And even Malloy is promoting these Dem politicians, how pathetic. Of course, he does at least feature some of the 9/11 skeptics, which noone else will touch, even on so-called ‘alternative’ Pacifica radio, with a couple of notable exceptions (Guns and Butter, Dennis Bernstein on Flashpoints, probably a couple of the old white guy cranks on wbai). So where’s my socialist radio???? I want it NOW (Mike Malloy voice). :fist:
Speaking of AAR being a DLC/DNC mouthpiece, don’t look to Seder, Malloy, et alia for political guidance (unless you’re very young and inexperience, or very delusional):
After defeating pro-war incumbent Lieberman, Lamont reassures Wall Street
By Patrick Martin
17 August 2006
The victory of multi-millionaire cable executive Ned Lamont in the Connecticut Democratic primary August 8 has produced paroxysms of uncritical celebration in liberal publications like the Nation and from groups like MoveOn.org, which campaigned heavily for Lamont and against incumbent senator Joseph Lieberman.
Katrina Van Den Heuvel, editor of the Nation, declared in her blog that ³Lamont¹s win is a real victory for progressives… democracy broke out in the State of Connecticut. Here¹s hoping this is just the beginning.²
The magazine¹s political correspondent John Nichols has provided gushing pro-Lamont coverage throughout the campaign, portraying the primary as a struggle ³for the soul of the Democratic Party.²
Eli Pariser, executive director of the MoveOn Political Action Committee, wrote in an op-ed column in the Washington Post that Lamont¹s victory would compel Democrats like Senator Hillary Clinton to adopt a more antiwar stance. Lamont¹s defeat of Lieberman meant the end of Clinton-style ³triangulation,² he wrote.
³With triangulation passing, a new era of bolder, principle-driven politics can begin. Lamont¹s success should be the opening salvo in a 90-day campaign to establish the clear-cut differences between Democrats and Republicans. Most independent voters, like Democrats, want change, but many of them aren¹t sure yet whether Democratic candidates are capable of giving it to them. Now¹s the chance to seize that mantle.²
These sentiments will no doubt be reinforced by the decision of the Connecticut Republican Party, the state¹s Republican governor, M. Jodi Rell, and the Bush White House to withhold support for the official Republican candidate for the Senate seat, Alan Schlesinger. Lieberman remains on the ballot as the candidate of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party, despite his primary defeat. With the blessing of the Bush administration, he now becomes the unofficial Republican candidate in the general election.
But those voters who may have illusions in Lamont¹s antiwar rhetoric‹or have been deceived by the uncritical adulation of the liberals‹need only turn to the pages of Wednesday¹s Wall Street Journal to see the real class basis and political outlook of the Democratic candidate. In an op-ed column headlined, ³The Democrats Mean Business: Washington Needs an Entrepreneurial Approach,² Lamont reassures his corporate audience that he will advocate policies entirely compatible with the interests of the capitalist elite‹the class to which he and his family have belonged for at least four generations.
Highly significant is the venue in which Lamont chose to publish his opinion piece. The editorial page of the Wall Street Journal is one of the filthiest organs of the ultra-right, effusively supporting the main policies of the Bush administration, including the war in Iraq, the attacks on democratic rights at home, and, most of all, the enormous tax cuts for the wealthy which have funneled hundreds of billions of dollars into the pockets of those who make up the newspaper¹s target audience.
It was in the Wall Street Journal that Senator Lieberman nine months ago published his infamous op-ed column in which he warned opponents of the Iraq war, particularly those within his own party, that their criticisms of the administration were an attack on Bush¹s constitutional authority as commander-in-chief. The clear implication was that antiwar activists were unpatriotic, subversive and guilty of providing aid and comfort to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups.
This op-ed column provided much of the initial impetus for Lamont¹s campaign. The Greenwich multi-millionaire himself declared that he decided to challenge Lieberman for the nomination after reading it. In making his own appearance on the same page, only a week after his primary victory, Lamont is extending an olive branch to the ultra-right.
This is underscored by the content of his column, which does not reproach the Journal for its all-out support for the invasion and conquest of Iraq, or for its constant attacks on the integrity, intelligence and intentions of those who oppose Bush¹s war policies. Instead, Lamont presents himself as a reasonable, pro-business candidate, a businessman himself, who will bring a practical and non-ideological approach to questions of war and terrorism.
The bulk of Lamont¹s column is a paean to the workings of American capitalism and to his own successes as a capitalist. (Already a millionaire by inheritance from his family¹s J. P. Morgan fortune, Lamont amassed an estimated $200 million through his cable-television firm, which specializes in wiring college campuses). Lamont called his business success ³a quintessentially American experience. Here, entrepreneurs have the freedom to be successful in ways the rest of the world admires.²
Lamont draws four lessons from his business experience which he claims he will apply to the war in Iraq and other public issues. He gives first place to fiscal austerity, denouncing the war as an irresponsible squandering of money and declaring, ³I am a fiscal conservative and our people want their government to be sparing and sensible with their tax dollars.²
His other lessons‹the need to ³invest in human resources² through education, the need to stay in touch with customers (i.e., voters), and the need to look at the facts rather than proceed on the basis of preconceived notions‹do not rise above the commonplace.
He concludes with a pledge that changing course in Iraq (how exactly, he does not say), does not mean any weakening of US military power. ³We start with the strongest, best-trained military in the world, and we¹ll keep it that way,² he declares.
Lamont conceals the real, material reasons for the war in Iraq, as though Bush¹s personal stubbornness and willfulness were all that mattered. The invasion and occupation of Iraq were not, however, merely the result of the personalities of Bush or Cheney.
It would be impossible to explain on that basis why the entire leadership of the Democratic Party, the nominal ³opposition,² as well as the entire establishment media endorsed and validated the obvious lies about weapons of mass destruction and Iraq¹s ties to Al Qaeda that were used by the White House to bludgeon public opinion.
It would be impossible to explain why, more than three years later, long after the war has become an obvious debacle, opposed by a large majority of the American people, there is no major figure in either party who supports an immediate withdrawal of American troops. Thus, the supposedly antiwar Lamont offers his proposals for ³redeployment² of US forces as a means of assuring an American ³success² in the war.
The war in Iraq is, fundamentally, an expression of the crisis of American capitalism, whose ruling elite backed the invasion as an effort to seize control of a key strategic position in the oil-rich Middle East by turning the country with the second largest oil reserves in the world into a US protectorate. Control of Iraq, they believed, would give American imperialism the ability to project military power not only in the Persian Gulf, but throughout the Middle East and Central Asia, a decisive advantage against its major foreign rivals in Europe and the Far East.
Lamont focuses his attacks on the Bush administration¹s incompetence in realizing this imperialist agenda, not on the agenda itself. There is no mention of oil in Lamont¹s antiwar appeals. Like all of the Democratic critics of the war, he has tacitly accepted the warning issued by Bush himself at the beginning of this year, when he declared that the role of oil in the war should be off-limits as an issue in the 2006 elections.
It is, of course, no surprise to socialists that the great-grandson of a co-founder of the J. P. Morgan empire, himself a capitalist possessed of a fortune approaching a quarter-billion dollars, should seek to disguise the responsibility of the capitalist system for the tragedy in Iraq.
:omg:i have wire hydrogen peroxide and wire cutters in my truck plus an inactive cell phone the one i use and an ipod all of which could be detonating devices plus a bottle of windshield washer solvent highly flammable rain-x and several lighters…………
:doh:oh wait i am white and i dont have a qu’ran:banana:
Socialist radio!:omg:
Incrementally, sneakily.
Laura Flanders ain’t bad.
Malloy.
Peter Werbe is a flaming anarcho-syndicalist. He mentions Fifth Estate sometimes. (Fellow workers.)
100% Union man, is he.
SEDER says he supports the rights of corporations to make profit.
Who else…any revolutionaries? Maron? Ferrucci? Sammy the Stem Cell?
:mad:don’t look to Seder, Malloy, et alia for political guidance (unless you’re very young and inexperience, or very delusional):
mikes my favorite since there is no more funny!
On a socialist radio network, folks like Malloy, Flanders and Werbe might have their place. Personally, I don’t like Flanders’ programming all that much, can’t put my finger on why; she kind of reminds me of Terry Gross, who I loathe, that could be why. Can’t explain why Terry Gross makes me want to puke :yuck:, maybe it’s that npr oh-so-precious sentimentalization of every f**’ing guest and every word, like she’s some kind of seer or something. I really prefer down to earth, real people on the air, not polished practiced professionals. Malloy and Seder and Werbe are exceptions (and yes, they’re all men, just can’t think of any women programmers – ok, Jeaneane – yeah, I like her, but I wouldn’t call her a pro – but why does it take being a celebrity to get on the air?). These are public airwaves but you don’t hear any of the public on it, just people who make a career out of it. I’m sick of it.
Marc certainly gets dibs before Seder and Malloy on any socialist radio network. Yer right, Seanie, I forgot Seder has no problem with capitalism either, he just wants it to be ‘nicer’ to people. Heck, for all I know, Malloy feels the same. Marc, although not an ‘out’ socialist, I hope has enough antipathy and spleen toward capitalism that he knows better than to think it can be reformed. If he doesn’t see that, then he’ll just be another co-opted hack comedian. (Gasp, did I blaspheme with that? I love being blasphemous!). Although I see Marc’s last aar show was a fundraiser for yet another dem, so I’m not holding out much hope for his politics, but that’s his business.
Anyone else see the Shatner roast on Comedy Central last night?? Jeezus f’in Keerist!!! I’m open minded and all, and pro-homo (cnick in the house?) and all that, but how many ass-fucking jokes do we have to hear???
Have you ever listened to Enid Goldstein.. she is on the station in Sacramento. Whiterose archives her shows and has a lot of streaming only talkers.
I thought Janeane was super on the radio. One difference between laura and Gross is that one is a lefty.
Ok, my workday is drawing to a close – sorry for the long article, don’t hate me, ok? I tried to find the url, couldn’t get a hold of the friend who forwarded it to me, and he didn’t even include the source. I googled the author, no luck. Ok, over and out. Drive safe, Seanie, hope the weather from here to FL is good. Sorry I wasn’t around this weekend, it would have been the first time meeting a fellow blogista, dang! (Hint – you fellow San Francisco ms blogistas, once again, my email address is gata at infinex dot come; I’d love to meet you). :fire:
:cool:is shatner queer?
Socialist radio would have to be public or state sponsored.. I doubt that the corporatists would sponsor it even if it had a big audience. I think a really left sided movement would have to seek support from the countries in South America.. Being socialist and Catholic might go over better than being socialist and Muslim.:eek::eek::fustrate::paranoid:
That’s supposed to be the difference between Ed Schultz and Rush Limbaugh, but they might as well be the same. Same difference between Flanders and Gross, for me. Never heard of Enid Goldstein, I’ll try to give her a listen, but I doubt she’s socialist on Israel, and if she ignores the quesiton altogether, that’s a problem too). Ok, really gotta go, g’night all. :fire::fire:
can’t see socialist radio with commercials…kind of a contradition in terms…
Humm Sean not only has all the chemicals but he also possesses his own delivery system.. Run Sean Run..:eek::eek::fustrate:
truthiness! i dont trust books they are all fact and no heart.
Having talk radio without commercials might be a big selling point…:omg:
well, if it’s like PBS there would be “commercials” even without commercials….fundraising kind of messages…but that’s better
Jesus! No difference…Ever read any of Laura’s books?
I wish I could navigate this fucking system and keep my values the way she does.
Does Pacifica have commercials ?? A lot of the indymedia sites have streaming programing.:paranoid:
Excuse me. I must make my way to the nearest goyshak for some much needed davening.
:bow::sdavid::pent:
:jesus:
if i ruled the world! imagine that.
how does a goy daven? This I have to see….
NAS LYRICS
“If I Ruled The World”
(feat. Lauryn Hill)
[Intro: Nas (Lauryn Hill singing in the background)]
Life….. I wonder….
Will it take me under…. I don’t know
[Verse One: Nas]
Imagine smoking weed in the streets without cops harassin
Imagine going to court with no trial
Lifestyle cruising blue behind my waters
No welfare supporters more conscious of the way we raise our daughters
Days are shorter, nights are colder
Feeling like life is over, these snakes strike like a cobra
The world’s hot my son got not evidently
It’s elementary, they want us all gone eventually
Trooping out of state for a plate knowledge
of coke was cooked without the garbage we’d all have the top dollars
Imagine everybody flashin, fashion
Designer clothes, lacing your click up with diamond vogues
Your people holdin dough, no parole
No rubbers, go in raw imagine law with no undercovers
Just some thoughts for the mind
I take a glimpse into time
watch the blimp read “The World Is Mine”
[Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas]
If I ruled the world
Imagine that
I’d free all my sons, I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Could it be, if you could
be mine, we’d both shine
If I ruled the world
Still livin for today, in
these last days and times
[Verse Two: Nas]
The way to be, paradise like relaxin black, latino and anglo-saxon
Armani exchange the reins
Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last
Brand new whips to crash then we laugh in the iller path
The Villa house is for the crew, how we do
Trees for breakfast, dime sexes and Benz stretches
So many years of depression make me vision
The better livin, type of place to raise kids in
Open they eyes to the lies history’s told foul
But I’m as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold Child
Seeing things like I was controlling, click rollin
Trickin six digits on kicks and still holdin
Trips to Paris, I civilized every savage
Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish
Political prisonner set free, stress free
No work release purple M3’s and jet skis
Feel the wind breeze in West Indies
I make Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities and reverse themes to Willies
It sounds foul but every girl I meet to go downtown
I’d open every cell in Attica send em to Africa
[Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas]
If I ruled the world
Imagine that
I’d free all my sons, I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Could it be, if you could
be mine, we’d both shine
If I ruled the world
Still livin for today, in
these last days and times
And then we’ll walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
We’ll walk right up to the sun
We won’t land
We’ll walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
We’ll walk right up to the sun
We won’t land
[Verse Three: Nas]
You’d love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry
Duck down in car seats, heat’s mandatory
Runnin from Jake, gettin chased, hunger for papes
These are the breaks many mistakes go down out of state
Wait, I had to let it marinate we carry weight
Tryin to get laced, flip the ace stack the safe
Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cop camera
Makin moves in Atlanta, back and forth scrambler
Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich
Still nobody want a nigga havin shit
If I ruled the world and everything in it, sky’s the limit
I push a Q-45 Infinit
It wouldn’t be no such thing as jealousies or B Felonies
Strictly living longevity to the destiny
I thought I’d never see but reality struck
Better find out before your time’s out, what the fuck??
[Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas]
If I ruled the world
Imagine that
I’d free all my sons, I love em em baby
Black diamonds and pearls
Could it be, if you could
be mine, we’d both shine
If I ruled the world
Still livin for today, in
these last days and times
If I ruled the world, if I ruled, if I ruled
Imagine that
I’d free all my sons, if I ruled, if I ruled
I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls, black dimaonds
Could it be, if you could
black diamonds
be mine, we’d both shine
If I ruled the world
Still livin for today, in
these last days and times
If I ruled the world, if I ruled
if I ruled, I’d free all my sons
black diamonds, I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls, if I ruled
If I ruled the world
If I ruled the world
I love em love em baby!!

Sean…you DO realize that still only counts as one post on PJ’s blog tally… :rofl2:
It is reported that a highly regarded Chassidic Rebbe recently walked around his shul during a Friday night davening and closed the seforim of the learner-daveners.
:rabbi:
We all know the scene. People walk in late to shul, engage in cordial greetings, catch up on the news, and then start davening. At that point, it becomes virtually impossible for them to articulate every word and to daven properly. Thus, the first step must be to arrive on time, which means before the scheduled time, so that one is ready to start at the designated moment.
Too often we treat most of the davening as if it were Shemoneh Esrei, by davening inaudibly, silently. The key to enjoying davening is to enunciate the words, feel their beauty, sense their poetry. Once a davening atmosphere is created, idle conversation will simply disappear. When someone walks into shul, he will sense that he is in a place of davening-even if he wanted to, he would be embarrassed to talk. Before long, he too will be caught up in the spirit of davening.
:rabbi:
I just think you like davening….plain and simple :nod:
Is that your westchester neighbor on the radio now, baby?

Nope. I’m just out of it. You tube won’t work for me, either
that wasn’t really a :barf: picture, was it? I mean, it wasn’t that bad. He looked like he could have been related to Lon Cheney:rofl2:
It was frightening:omg:
Can you imagine being in philosophy class with that guy?
That would have been cool. He looks like he could bite into your neck like a vampire. Hey, where’s Druid?
I think she may have had a tough day…
:fustrate:
Under what circumstances? Not the f-word. Nooo. Do you have suspicion that you may be next in line?:omg:
There has been a steady erosion and I may be standing near the shoreline…
Oh. You don’t think you’ll slide into it, do ya?
As usual someone in control is power tripping:no:
I may just take off from the water and fly over their heads…away..away…
Power tripping. That’s a good phrase.
:rofl2:

So there are some “users” online…..What are you useing?:no:
I wanted to apologize to you.
Hmmm down to two “users” I guess some might be in denial……not wanting to confront themselves or any other……interesting.
:???:why Druid? Me???? apoligize????:???:
When said cognac, I sounded glib, however it was only since I had when I was in my 20’s, I was really into it seriously. I loved cognac, especially a certain kind … I do not want to say further since I do not drink it NOW and many, far too many call me a snob … which is not true …. but it does make me laugh.
When you said what you were drinking it made me “warm and fuzzy” and all I could do was “see” the action and all I could say was Yum 😉
Cognac is not snobbish. It’s just perfect, especially in the winter. Nothing is quite so “warm and fuzzy”.
Also an open secret … I saw PJ, who I think was giving to people like me, a hint in his morning soliloquy a few days ago … you probly know this but I also, remembering my pathetic description must say , PJ’s hint for changing to current pages is — I believe — is “F5”. I am saying this since I wrote before but at “weird” times. :tongue: Okay done with my :doh:
I tried the f5 when you mentioned it . It did not work for me. Do people here thinl you are a snob? I have never seen any reason to believe that.
One final note on Cognac, I like to breathe fire….perhaps thats why I like it.
I hope you are well … I know this is “the Night” for me Mwah HaHa :banana: but you will be leaving soon … So what say you about what SeanMS said on a certain night :rofl2: it was an hour before Marc was on :rofl2: 😮
No not here I think, but this is mostly because I still am “aware” of certain Cognacs 😎
It was an interesting observation.:wink:
Cognac is a High Art. Period. Even the “cheap” cognac is fantastic. You know what they say….Every cognac is a brandy, but not every brandy is a cognac.
“F5” the very top ones … but it never seems to work for me either, but I have problems with accidently zapping things … thats why I say a :love::growl: relationship with the computer and always remind it I am sitting next to a window.
Most know I have a Lion as a Rising (and a sis) plus I do have much of an attitude:!:
Shall I or would you like to?
Well? I think you should. Its your turn.
You are very interesting … but are you a :pent: or not since you question my usuage of Magic Man … This is not 20 Questions (much) and accept your mystery … which is 😎
:pent: Would you please start the new day?:pent: An Invocation to the future…..
You asked a question — please clarify:?:
No go please:!:

Two Approaches to Korea
In the midst of the intense diplomacy and strategic maneuvering in recent decades, two broadly contradictory approaches to resolving Korean conflicts have emerged at various points in time, with some actors moving between them or fine-tuning positions within them.
The first position, favored at this writing by the George W. Bush administration, with Japanese backing, emphasizes regime destabilization and collapse. It presumes that North Korea will be absorbed into a South Korea operating within the framework of American strategic preeminence in the Asia Pacific and beyond. Eschewing earlier efforts to negotiate the issue of Korean nuclear weapons development, it seeks to strangle the North Korean regime by isolating it economically, financially and politically on charges of counterfeiting and smuggling, while raising the banner of democracy for North Korea, the same banner that has brought disaster to Iraq in recent years and at this writing threatens to engulf the Middle East in a wider war.
The second position, promoted by the Roh administration, and perhaps by China, prioritizes reduction in military tensions, provision of economic aid to North Korea, and encouragement of economic reform leading eventually toward economic, social, and eventually political integration of North and South. As envisaged in the North-South Agreement of 2000 between Kim Dae Jung and Kim Jong-il, this would take the form of steps toward a Korean confederation leading eventually toward reunification.
Both positions presume the elimination or freezing of the North Korean nuclear program. Both presume fundamental transformation of North Korean politics, economics and society, and a more harmonious regional order based on an end to the Korean War and rapprochement involving North Korea, the US, Japan, South Korea, China and Russia. But whereas the first is predicated on regime change, the second looks toward a softer, even peaceful transformation of the position of the two Koreas within a broader regional consensus. Without the agreement of the regional powers, above all the US and China, however, neither position can be effectively implemented.
Whatever one’s views of North Korea, it is difficult to imagine the first scenario being achieved in the absence of major war on the Korean peninsula or beyond, a war whose destructiveness could well rival or exceed that of the earlier Korean War that involved the US, China, Russia and Japan in varying, but invariably destructive, ways. Stated differently, North Korea is not East Germany. It can be expected to fight fiercely if cornered or attacked. This reality tends to be masked or ignored by the Bush administration and by Japanese and South Korean proponents of regime change.
The second route faces immense difficulties, above all those posed by the dominance of US neoconservatives in the security sphere, but no less by North Korean intransigence that stems in part from the legacy of six decades of war and the threat of war, including nuclear attack, as well as internal political divisions within South Korea. It is important to note, however, tendencies in American policymaking that committed as recently as the Clinton administration, and could once again commit, resources and political capital to such an outcome in the interest of eliminating a North Korean nuclear option and general tension reduction. That at least is one lesson of the ultimately abortive Clinton-Kim Jong-il agreement.
There is a third alternative for the peninsula in the years to come: that is the maintenance of the status quo in Korea with its high level of regional and global tensions, one that has persisted in essentials for more than half a century. It may in fact be the preferred outcome of many regional actors including Russia, China and perhaps Japan, who might favor tension reduction but might view a reunified peninsula as a greater geopolitical threat than that posed by a divided, and therefore weakened Korea. However, in leaving unresolved the core issues that have long threatened the security of the peninsula, the situation is inherently unstable.
