Yes, that’s right, I said booblehead.
There’s actually a chance at a worthwhile Press the Meat today, as Timmy hosts a “live debate” between creepy, child molester-looking, man-on-dog, Senator Ricky “poopy pants” Sanatorium and his opponent Bob Casey. All I can say to my neighbors to the south is, “hey, Santorum? What the fuck were you people thinking?”
Over at Faze the Nation, Bob “thank god it isn’t Katie, at least” Schieffer hosts the man who got my vote (and a few of yours, too, I bet) in the Democratic primary in 2004, Doctor Governor Howard :omg: Dean, plus Senator Mitch “the prick” McConnell.
Over at ABC, George Snufalufagus boasts an “exclusive” with Senator MBNA, Joe Biden (wow, that musta been a tough get), who is supposedly gonna give Rummy and Cheney a stern talking to. I tell ya what George, fuck Biden (much as it pains me to say that about a fellow SU alum); why doncha get Mike Malloy on to do the job instead. Now there’s a show I’d actually get up and watch in real time. Then George goes to Rhode Isalnd, and looks at the race between “moderate” (until it comes to standing up to dubya) Lincoln Chafee (about whom, Ann Coulter said, “they shot the wrong Lincoln“) and his wingnut primary opponent, Stephen “Daffy” Laffey. Last I saw, Laffey was up big in this race. Let’s hope so, since Laffey has about a zero percent chance of winning in the general election.
Over at Fux News Sunday, we’ll get a chance to see who’s uglier – Chris “Fuckface” Wallace, Chuckie Schumer, or Liddy “No wonder Bob needs Viagara” Dole. I think Liddy’s title is safe, here. Plus, it’s another faux moderate, Arlen Specter (again, PA, what the fuck?), and Joe Gibbs, who’ll be on to tell us if his son is as big an asshole as George Allen’s son is.
On Late Emission with the Wolfman, it’s, oh, well it’s CNN, Who gives a shit? Spend your time looking for Mr. FK over on MSNBC instead.
Later, on 60 Minutes, it’s a rerun of Ed Bradley’s double segment with Tiger Woods :yawn:, plus Bob Simon talks to some paramedics who went to help out after the earthquake in Pakistan. Hopefully they haven’t been tossed into one of our gulags by now.
Enjoy your day, ‘cuz next week, I have a feeling it’ll be an “all nine-one-one Sunday,” no matter what channel you’re tuned to.

Here is the real stuff:
The phase of the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah, until the destruction the first Temple (587 BC) and the Babylonian exile. (Much of the Old Testament is concerned with this period, although most major books of the Old Testament, including the Pentateuch as we know it, were actually composed after that date.) Socially, these ancient Jewish kingdoms were quite similar to the neighboring kingdoms of Palestine and Syria; and—as a careful reading of the Prophets reveals—the similarity extended to the religious cults practiced by the great majority of the people.1 The ideas that were to become typical of later Judaism—including in particular ethnic segregationism and monotheistic exclusivism—were at this stage confined to small circles of priests and prophets, whose social influence depended on royal support. (Shekina vanished.)
2. The phase of the dual centers, Palestine and Mesopotamia, from the first “Return from Babylon” (537 BC) until about AD 500. It is characterized by the existence of these two autonomous Jewish societies, both based primarily on agriculture, on which the “Jewish religion,” as previously elaborated in priestly and scribal circles, was imposed by the force and authority of the Persian empire. The Old Testament Book of Ezra contains an account of the activities of Ezra the priest, “a ready scribe in the law of Moses,” who was empowered by King Artaxerxes I of Persia to “set magistrates and judges” over the Jews of Palestine, so that “whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.”2 And in the Book of Nehemiah—cupbearer to King Artaxerxes who was appointed Persian governor of Judea, with even greater powers—we see to what extent foreign (nowadays one would say “imperialist”) coercion was instrumental in imposing the Jewish religion, with lasting results. (Absence of Shekina and unsexy brutality.)
Prophecies of the return of the “Shekinah,” which had left the Temple and city of Jerusalem in the days of Ezekiel, are repeated in Zechariah. These same prophecies are also fulfilled in the historical period and record of Zechariah. To better understand these prophecies it is necessary to have an acquaintance with the history of the “Shekinah.”
Modern day power feminism can be traced to the perceived return of Shekina to the people of the Book–but only in the female-dominated households.
“Shekinah” in Hebrew is a a feminine noun, It is interesting that Isaiah refers to the Shekinah using feminine pronouns. Especially in Isaiah 51. Particularly in Isaiah 51:9and 10 and its context the pronouns are feminine.

Hebrew “goddesses” identified in the Hebrew femdom tradition include Asherah, Lilith, the cherubim in Solomon’s Temple, and the Shekhina.
No, she didn’t:knit2:
Jews Without Money
page 18.“The Hebrew Goddess demonstrates that the Jewish religion, far from being pure monotheism, contained from earliest times strong polytheistic elements, chief of which was the cult of the mother goddess. Lucidly written and richly illustrated, this third edition contains new chapters of the Shekhina.”
I still have to get that book…
Hey Kong. I’m pretty tired:yawn: I feel pretty good, though.
We want Shekina now. Shekina now. Shekina now.

This discussion of capitalism makes it out to be a lot more complicated than Marx observed. What he saw was what it had morphed into at the time.. Today we have a Ayn Rand type model which benefits the upper 10% and no one else..
Communism as desired by Marx never materialized because having all the power in the hands of the government caused the same problems we have today where absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Soviet Union was never a Marxist communist state just another dictatorship.:eek:

she never left, and you know where to look for her :sdavid::pent::love:

Please be sure to leave the window.. err.. door open :sheep: le
Try some of Laurence Gardner‘s books for the Hebrew polytheism.
Marx’s critique concerned 19 century capitalism, mainly. But he also traced the development of this ghastly economic system. He came to the conclusion that capitalism became capitalism when people lost control of their tools and were forced to sell their ability to work (labor power) to the owners of all of the tools.

In today’s culture there is an underground economic system where software can be generated by anyone with his own tools, a lot of laid off machinists and tool makers have even NC milling and turning machines in their garages and most mechanical engineers have CAD tools at home too. The problem is finding someone who needs your services that’s not in China some place. Idle techie minds can be dangerous.. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Shekinah (Yiddish:Shemanski) is a Hebrew word which refers to the Manifest Presence of Goddess. This Presence is among Her People. When King Solomon had finished having the Temple in Jerusalem built, the Presence of the Goddess came upon the Temple so powerfully ” that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the Glory of the Goddess filled the House of the Lord.” Seeing that the male priests were so challenged (spiritually and otherwise ) this dominant Presence left the Temple and entered into the female-led households with all of Her Shekinah Glory. And thus it is written.
Not everybody has the skills that you describe, Fred.
I think you understand… 😉
Understand what?
Tehran , Moscow and Caracas all have FEDEX offices .. a bunch of prostitutes could soon be at their service.

It is virtually impossible to write about Performance without referring to the multi-layered themes, identities and posturing of the ‘performers’ who populate and circulate around the film. This is a film that foregrounds issues of identity, subjectivity and personality, its extraordinarily angular structure providing multiple, crystalline points of entry, exit, engagement and distanciation.

MEXICO CITY (AP) – Mexico’s leftist presidential candidate threatened to disrupt the swearing in of his ruling party rival Saturday, a day after lawmakers blocked the outgoing president from delivering his state-of-the-nation speech to Congress in an escalating crisis over the July 2 election.
Leftist legislators yelling for a recount of votes surrounded the congressional podium on Friday, leaving President Vicente Fox, wearing his presidential sash, standing at the door of the chambers with no choice but to hand in his annual, written report and leave.
Leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has said he will never recognize a victory by ruling-party candidate Felipe Calderon and says he will declare himself as the alternative president

CT-SEN: BREAKING: Lieberman Starting Blog!
By Greg Sargent
Joe Lieberman just sent out a campaign-kickoff email to supporters which announces that the previously-hacked Lieberman campaign web site will re-launch on Tuesday, and he adds: “One of the first things you will notice is that we have added our own blog…Joe’s Blog will also be a place you can actively participate in the campaign debate and make your voice heard. So starting Tuesday, we invite you to log-in at http://www.Joe2006.com and sound off any time you want.” Emphasis ours. Somehow we get the sense that Joe’s Blog will indeed be a place where plenty of sounding-off will be happening. Whatever will Joe Klein think?
Grilling hamburgers, any takers? Hey everyone. Have a GREAT weekend. I’m in and out of the room. Anyone hear from Druid?
Can I come over cnick? -Yum burgers for breakfast.
This self appointed official blog worrier called Druid and spoke to her briefly last night before I went over to see the moon and she was fine.:gate: I think still catching up on sleep from her new schedule.
Hey- just lookin’ at the moon through high powered viewing devices was a big treat for me. How did I get to be this old and have never really done that? It was sort of…Zen.
Does anyone remember the Morning Rememberance where the Bushnell Binocular guy died. Jim Earl morphs into my father’s voice.
My Dad had a telescope but we never used it. He never used it.
Maybe he bought it after we moved out- I don’t know.
Sorry we didn’t get pictures for you cnick.
I wonder if the impact happened?
I think I have a new neighbor moving in and there were a bunch of guys talking really loud under my bedroom window at 2am then 4am. Whoever invented earplugs?:bow::bow::bow:
I might have to bake a pie for them:yuck:
It’ll be good though…
Seriously. I think G needs one first or maybe I have to test it before it’s ready for giving, just to make sure it’s suitable. So, that’s a bunch of pies right there. Maybe Nick wants one too, and then you could start selling them to other people. It just will go on and on. Are you sure you want to go down the this pie street?
So, Nicki and Susan are getting abstract, huh?:tongue:
Hey, they caught yet another #2. I swear, this Al-Qaeda has more Vice-Presidents than a bank. I guess #2 is kinda like being assistant manager.
i’d use a store-bought pie for that purpose blue!
no burgers for this vegetarian. & I don’t like those crappy vege-burgers either. (ok, I DO love vege corn dogs by Morningstar, though) Throw a mushroom cap and some eggplant on there for me cnick, and I’ll be over.
melina, hope you get straightened out up there, enviornmental and familial wise!
ok, mr fk hasn’t been on ms today as he was down with massive chills since last night – he gets these malaria-type flare-ups if he’s totally run down (he had malaria twice). He’s feeling much better. He’s working on a script for tonight. (msnb has a new format of actually talking to the reporter, which i like better. hope they keep up with it.)
this is a strange little piece in the nytimes magazine with gloria steinem. I’m going to try to stream some of Greenstone’s programming out of curiosity. But I found this part of the intervew odd. does it make anyone else gag like it did me?
trying to get a room ready for painting and then off to the movies. the 2 Sherwin Williams stores near me had F*x news on ….I gotta do something about THAT!
Happy Sunday!
Hey Nick- Glad youre having fun! Sounds like a BBQ…hope you invested in cruelty free organic burgers!!
Ive got the unexpected kid here due to power outtages and a huge cleanup happening due to basement flooding and puppy party, including beanie babies and a spare beanie alien that when split and shaken gets little “beans” or plastic that are surely bad for birds EVERYWHERE…I guess it was fun…I dunno…I was in the shower.
F’in dogs!
At least its clearing up and the boys are followng a big snapping turtle at the pond!
Sleep well, Dru!
Back to vacuming….
I’ll throw an extra one on the fire for you blue. Yes, I used to be some what of an amateur astronomer when I was younger. I had a cheap telescope. Always wanted a Celestron telescope, but they were to darn expensive. Least the one I had my eye on. Champagne taste on a beer budget. Good to hear all is well with Druid. I kinda figured it might be hard to see a small impact from so far away. There are lots of wonderful things to see in the night sky. Should look at the star cluster in constellation of Taurus. Or the Orion Nebula. N e way, I’m in and out of the room. Trying to make good use of this week off work. N e one up for phone let me know. I could use some more conversations for this weeks podcasts. Later Sheeple
oh blue & trav – I’ve done a bit of kayaking in your neck of the woods. Bainbridge Island Boats has kayaks and moonlight paddles that are really pleasant. Mr. fk gave me an engagment boat (MUCH better than a ring!) that was built for me at Eddyline on Anacortes. :love:
That’s where my pie-baking skills will come in handy- I can market them to China! Maybe get that Wal-mart account.
I am a bad, bad capitalist:spank::spank:
Kat- I read that and didnt know what to thnk…I was sorta lost when she was saying how Women need a warm reporting style and the yelling shrill style of AAR is too much for us…huh?
I mean,….I guess….somewhat….
But hell, wasnt she the one who made my mom have all those horible meetings of shrill women who wanted to sit in circles and xamine their parts with mirrors?…etc…whatever they did. I hid upstairs and smoked cigarettes out the window….
Helen Reddy be damned…I guess that women really *are* different than men….
Kat, you need that little keychain TV controller that lets you control any TV….not just turn them off, but change the channel.
I need that too, come to think of it…with my ongoing gym fights….
Blue, I am a famous pie lady here…but I got sorta tired of all the cutting and creating for everone …and my hands hurt from the Lyme arthritis, so I didnt do much last year. I guess that when the air gets crisp a gal starts to think abotu pie season….
ooooo – where do I get one of those??? I complained at the little airport i was at in WA state because they had it on, but if I could just secretly change the channel :hubba:
I know, Fonda & Steinem make pleasant radio. is it the View on radio – puleez – What’s that saying…
Melina, do you know when the new season of “24” begins?
Um, I think we could rent a tandem kayak for a couple days, but I don’t think either of us are experienced enough nor have the energy. It would be fun, though. I think we’re just going to get a canoe for a couple hours and maybe have another friend join us. I don’t know what the plan is, Farmerkat. Maybe being in the dark adds something to the anticipation aspect of things, I guess, or something. I dunno. Maybe it’s unenthusiasm. Or just something that I’m not adding into the equation because I’m still tired:yawn:
Oh! Did I just go off the deep end of the boat?:smack:
#47? Naked in the abstract?
FK what a cool engagement ring- he gets you. Bainbridge is a great idea too. My niece knows all about kayaking..hmmmm
I have never set foot in one.
Melina- you have inspired me to vacumn- another round of house guests from jolly old E-land coming thursday for a week and the place is a mess.:tongue:
I think I will bake them a nice pie though…good idea.
I have a fear of deep-water OK:shock: And yet I love to be out on a boat..
Oh, okay. Everything is cool. I’m just rolling that big ball of insecurity around.
I’ll try not to rock the boat anymore:nod:for a while anyway
Did you check your mail?:omg:
Well give that ball a big kick out of your field..:knit:

Yup. Just now… Unconventional :rofl2: Yeah, that’s not exactly how she put.:nod:
:tongue:
:knit: must work a bit…
Hold on to the gunnels. Just give me a sec!
Maybe I should have kept that story to myself.:smack:
Is it deep end of the boat or is it water?:doh:
Water..methinks..
Oh, I knew I goofed it. Well, at least I used the right terminology about the canoe.
blue – are you frightened about what’s in the deep water, or of ending up down in deep water? different kayaks have different stability aspects. some are much harder to tip than others, but once on their sides will definitely go over. mine is tippy – easy to go up on its side, but I can paddle it while it’s leaned over on its side. (primary or secondary stability)
a canoe has great primary stability but lousy secondary stability.
I don’t know what I’m writing about
Where did I put my PFD…
I nearly lost my life on this boat on the North Sea:
http://www.hebrides.com/sea/sgoth.htm
Yeah, but the secondary stability is only a factor at speed, right?
Was that the boat you were on, Heron, in that pic? That’s pretty cool.
canoes are pretty tame
http://www.hebrides.com/work/trousers.htm
Yeah Heron was on that boat ..no motor.
A storm came up..there were seven of us non-sailors and kenny morrison shouting orders and we were rowing to get the boat out of “irons”
Pretty dangerous…exhilarating and good rainbows.:tongue:
We’re just looking for placid water with a serene environment. Canoes are horrible in rough water. Scary.
Trousers, huh? What’s the story behind that?
oh, well, that explains it. wow. the Hebrides is a great place, though. glad you pulled through…when you get a chance, you’ll have to tell the story, blue.

OMG
so do they require the SAME notifications and warning if the young woman is going to have a baby? Having a baby is full of grave risks.
Wow:omg:
No motor and non-sailors….. OH MY! :priest:
Bainbridge is an easy smooth paddle, btw.

Went rhough all of Will’s too small clothes, did laundry…cleaned basement…did recycling…now washing dog patio…Next up: BILLS!! and paperwork…
I think Im gonna get this for Will

Melina, do you know when the new season of “24? begins?
Comment by cnickthomas — September 3, 2006 @ 1:44 pm
Second week of January, I believe. Sucks having to wait that long, but at least once it starts we won’t have to wait multiple weeks between episodes.
Thanks Kevin
Does anyone here remember that old 70’s film, “Silent Running”? I just love Joan Baez singing the opening song, “Rejoice in the sun” and the title theme to the film. The movie depicts a future in which all plant life on Earth has been made extinct, and only a few specimens have been preserved in large, greenhouse-like geodesic domes attached to a fleet of American Airlines “Space Freighters” positioned just outside the orbit of Saturn. Description taken from Wikipedia. Not a stellar film, except for its porported setting. But the music is nice. Love me some Joan Baez! Her singing that is . . .
Ok, well I have a dear old friend coming to visit tonight. So I’ll be away for awhile. But I’m off all this week. So I’ll be talking to you all later! G’night Sheeple!
:yawn:i try to sleep
:crap:but i can not!
Is my music keeping you up?:banana::banana:
:spank:nope but uh im going to sleep now maybe if i sleep long enough malloy will be back on air america!
At some point I would like to try the touring kayak. Up to now I have been doing white-water kayaking.

Excellent links Susan!!
Nick…I loved that film…especially the robots. I remember seeing it first in a theater when I was a little kid. I cried at the end.
Yeah, too bad we have to wait for 24, but I like the idea of not having to be interrupted for football or whatever it is they were worried about.
Anyway, there are some good shows coming on, as we found last nite…was that last nite?…its all a blur…
Im thinking that Jericho will be good.
Was tonight the finale of Rescue Me?
Im not sure if I have it here on tape and am taping reruns or what….I guess that the 4400 ended last week…and I have it on tape…?
Im just starting to catch up with my watching….and organizing for the school year….and getting the bills paid.
Tomorrow, I shop!!
Thanks for that link Suz….very good to hear Mike tell it himself…but it is sort of a mystery about what is happening to AAR. Its just not believable that one business could have so much promise and be so fucked up….even though its got such rabid fans.
Something is really wrong there…..
Great Franken show on Friday too….Funny how O’Donnell talks too much and then has no time for the calls and or the guests to finish up…..What are they doing about tomorrow’s holiday?

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin Killed
By Associated Press
31 minutes ago
BRISBANE, Australia – Steve Irwin, Australian television presenter known as “The Crocodile Hunter,” killed in marine accident, local media report says.
“the first woman I had a crush on was my school teacher” “did you read the essay I wrote on my summer holidays?”
:omg:
sounds like the sex pistols:nod:
Cool. So, I’ll see you tomorrow, H
I am just now hearing the “crush on teacher” essay. I thought it was something you had written on your MySpace blog. No wonder I couldn’t find it.
SusanJoy thank you so much for that clip of Malloy on Harrison. Malloy is as baffled as we are about what is going on at AAR. He mentioned the fact that Lizz Winstead and Marc were peeled away and Sam was threatened with being fired. His wondering aloud if the people that started AAR were starting to get cold feet about what they were doing and what was going out over the air rang true for me. I believe it is censorship.
If AAR is the wealthy–and almost certainly conservative–investors, then it is just a business decision. They can do what they like. On the other hand…
😮 Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter, killed by stingray .
Malloy mentioned recently that the Atlanta AAR affilitate was killed–with the exception of Franken–because the radio hosts were too critical of Israel. Was Malloy’s dismissal from AAR based on similar grounds? Drobny thinks it was some sort of a personal problem between management and Malloy. His reasoning was based on the fact that Malloy was rather low paid to begin with.
Yes. I am bummed by that story. Irwin was such a character.
My theory now is that the Board of Directors of AAR got scared about speaking truth to power. Instead they’ve opted for Thruthiness to Power!
Have a good one you all :yawn:
Malloy was expendable. We need to find out who made the decision–and raise fucking hell with them. Malloy is right, people are tired of getting shafted constantly. We want choices that go deyond Coke and Pepsi, right of center and far right of center.
This business dominated culture we live in is not going to allow a liberal radio station to get too far out of line. They will discipline by firing those who go too far, or will cut funding in order to send a message.
Nobody here but me. Goodbye.

“We Bring You Beltane’s Flower” *
Beltane is perhaps one of my favorite times of the year. It is filled with the promise of summer, but holds none of the sadness that the waning solstice brings. Beltane is promise. Beltane is hope. If I had to chose a tarot card to reflect its meaning, I would chose “the Star”, for Beltane is all that is wished for, a true possibility…all that is longed for, coming into being…all that is dreamed of manifesting at last.
As you prepare to celebrate this holiday, it is essential that you find ways to bring nature into your rite. With this in mind, we offer you the following Beltane suggestions by our favorite herbalist…:omg:
