On Press the Meat this week, first up is Michael “The Cryptkeeper” Chertoff, on to tell us how dubya singlehandedly thwarted the car bomb attack in London (apparently by spreading ignorance throughout the world). Then it’s an “exclusive” with Pat Leahy, on to talk about “the subpoenas.” Plus, it’s a roundtable with this week’s token black guy, Tavis Smiley (fresh off his debate performance), David Brody, on to represent God, Chuck “The Schmuck” Todd, and Judy “I’m not Andrea Mitchell” Woodruff. Whoopie.
Over at CBS, Bush Buddy Bobby Schieffer hosts Dick Lugar (I always thought the Dick Lugar was the preferred sidearm of the Dick Armey), on to talk about his dramatic stand against the preznit, as long as it doesn’t actually involve doing anything that matters. Wow, Dick, what courage you have. You’re right up there with Colin Powell and Robert McNamara.
On Fux News Sunday, the Cryptkeeper rides again, plus wingnut talk show host Mike Gallagher squares off against good old Mark Green of something called Air America Radio. Wasn’t there once a brilliant radio network with the same name?
At the Goebbels network, Cryptkeeper Chertoff makes another appearance, and then the even scarier and less lifelike Joey Lieberman wil be on to stick a knife in the back of every sane American. At the roundtable, it’s he WaPost’s Ruth Marcus, Batsht Crazy Bay Buchanan, Donna “Loser” Brazile and Cokie “The Hag” Roberts. And then James Earl Jones is on to answer the question, “who’s scarier, Darth Vader or the aptly named Dick Cheney.”
Over at CNN, Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission will give you yet another look at the Cryptkeeper, plus other criminals, including Henry “isn’t he dead yet?” Kissinger.
Later, on 60 Minutes, do you give a shit about Russel Crowe? Me neither, but apparently Steve Kroft does. Bob Simon does a cheery little story about the Rwandan genocide, and Scott Pelley tells us how medical advances are saving soldiers in Iraq that otherwise would have died, so they can come home and get fucked over by the Bush Administration, who really couldn’t give a flying fuck about them, unless they need a compliant backdrop for one of dummy’s speeches. I’m pretty sure these are all repeats, but I rarely watch the show, so I can’t be certain.
Then it’s (last week’s) Big Love at eight, and Dexter at nine. Enjoy your Sunday, and Happy July.
Jim,
I stole one of my favorite lines from DL.
“My memory’s good, it’s just short.”
:cake: :cake: :cake: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME :cake: :cake: :cake:
I’m going to celebrate by seeing the 11 am showing of “Sicko” at the Lloyd Cinemas and the cake which isn’t a cake this year but a giant berry napoleon will be served at diPrima Dolci Bakery 1936 N Killingsworth at 2 pm. Seditionists in the Portland, OR area are invited for “cake,” first come first served, while it lasts. I’ll probably hang out at the bakery until 4 or 5 pm although I don’t expect the cake to last that long.

On the dog front, Porter aka destructo pug has moved on to another foster home, a veritable pug paradise with 4 others of his own breed and a mini schnauzer 2 dog doors and a dog patio– a load off my shoulders literally as well has metaaphorically.
Yesterday I adopted a 10 lb older chihuahua mixfrom the local humane society and she will take a while to bond, she was so scared at the shelter. She’s stopped shivering a victory!
It is NOT today, George!! Joementum just threat-downed us on snuffleupagus
Ah, wan…I have had many a 10 lb chihuahua mix…my boy Buck here is 10, and he remains pretty crazy…
Chihuahuas are great. I still have 3 left. But they are a particular thing, especially from a shelter. if you have any trouble be sure to mail me and I will tell you what Ive done, with alot of success…though I must say that in general chi’s are crazy ass dogs…they are not goldens…but, having grown up around them, I adore them.
destructo pug? Man, Ive got 2 destruction bostons…and they are quite a handful. Whenever they are out anywhere I realize what a different household this would be without them.
Then there is Led Z and Hildegard von B
… and a good spooky movie.
Boo .. A!I!V! Cheers All and *poof* … “fly’n around” 😉
Wow, they didn’t even mention Az for anything. I guess everyone thinks they have the worst traffic in the world.

Leahy was SANE on tim’s spam spin show :barf:
Did anyone else watch Mark Green on Fux News Sunday? What an asshole. He kept babbling about not wanting to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, while at the same time claiming that radio stations should split their programming between progressive shows and conservative shows. Ex-squeeze me? WTF?
Needless to say, the double-team of Mike Gallagher and Fuckface Wallace ate him alive. I have no idea why I expected any better from this idiot. What was I thinking? I could have stayed in bed. Priorities! 😀
Although it does explain why Green seems to be on a mission to strip AAR of its most talented personalities. Randi and Rachel, hope your bags are packed.
It turned out that I didn’t miss the Kucinich appearance yesterday after all. The St Pete Times fucked up his appearance schedule. He actually went to Orlando yesterday afternoon to join several other Dem candidates at some sort of Hispanic gathering. So occasionally my heat-induced laziness does pay off.
:banana:
Morning Ya Crazy Knuckleheads :yippee:
I don’t know how many of you guys watched the debate the other night, but only Gravel, Kucinich, and Edwards had anything to say other than “more education.†How the fuck is education going to help when the government helps companies refuse to hire American tech workers?
Comment by brilliantatbreakfast — June 30, 2007 @ 8:58 pm
Jill Brill!!! :love: :banana:
Someone on Friday, I think a guest on the Young Turds, pointed out that the question was about the unemployment rate being higher for black high-school graduates than for white high-school dropouts. So it had little if anything to do with education in the first place.
Despite this, Obama (who the question was directed to first) and EVERY OTHER CANDIDATE ON THE STAGE completely missed the point and, as Jill points out, mouthed some platitude about education. Way to blow an opportunity, kids.
Someone needs to tell these schmucks, including the schmucks I’m sort of leaning toward, that it’s OK to say that racism is alive and well in America. Because it is.
Nick Lowe interview on Weakened

Well, after my M$M issue free style handicapping of the Democratic

Obama tops $30 million in second quarter This story will probably rule a few news cycles.Any guess what kind of news dump we will be treated to on Tuesday, the 3rd of July, under cover of this, turrurusm, and soulful eye gazing in Kennebunkport?
hey Vern. I think I have that nick lowe…
Ive had it in rotation with some pretty cool stuff in my 5 CD shuffler for the birds…let me know what the name is if you find it…I got so tired of the classical stuff I was playing for them so I broke out everything from ryan adams to patsy cline to Dylan acoustic…to Lowe…and I set it on shuffle…really great!
seanie, whats the point with the “sick” thing?
I made Will laugh b y telling him “well” “healthy” last night as BAD…and then as in I’m Bad….and then he rolled his eyes. he thinks I’mreally crazy!…and he says that EVERYONE ELSE AGREES!!
Well, as Ive always said, I’d prefer to be crazy and interesting than normal and boring!

And I says…well, youre gonna have a hard time there, buddy, because the whole world is based on what comes out of asses…everything is about that. Just ask Freud or my grandpa’s jewish Mom…or my dad’s jewish mom…or the folks who live next to the sewage plant…

But huh … I was in mtns re Ryan Adams and unk re ” in the bird shuffler? ”
and Patsy Cline? Are they flying into things yet? What is the joke? Didn’t she :reaper: … :doh: whatever 🙄
But Nick, 8) , … sigh … the truth of the words of yesteryear 🙁 .
vern, did you see this thing about Adams new record, how its supposed to be actually…um…good?
Poor Ryan was on the horse…and thats why all of his output since whiskeytown has sucked…what an idiot!! Jeeze, kids these days!
Anyway, there is one good one in there that I never listened to much so I figured that I would stick it in the shuffler…its the roses one?…I head it was most like whiskeytown…and it seems OK.
I still listen to his whiskeytown output all the time, but I cant stand most of what he has done since.

As for Ryan, the boy can’t edit himself. However, you can glean some greatness from his works, I really liked some stuff from that Dead-like record he made. I am trying to put my hands on some new material but it did not come through yet. What is it with the Dunkin’ Donuts?
Oh, yeah, something about this ol’ Nick reminds me of Fred Thompson.

General Mills, Kellogg, Toys “R†Us and other big American companies are increasing their scrutiny of thousands of everyday products they receive from Chinese suppliers, as widening recalls of items like toys and toothpaste force them to focus on potential hazards that were overlooked in the past.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/01/business/01imports.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper&oref=slogin
The amazing part of this story is that it NEVER mentions Walmart. You would think that in any story about Cinese imports Walmart would be exhibit A.

Most recently, a book by Cullen Murphy, titled, plainly enough, “Are We Rome?†begins with an extended comparison of President Bush to the emperor Diocletian from the third century A.D. Everything from their respective foreign policies to their retinues of courtiers comes under scrutiny. (It’s a bit of puckish humor that the author, whose sympathies are decidedly of the liberal sort, chooses that particular Roman ruler, who was famous for feeding Christians to the lions.)

A fun read
I was thinking the same thing.What Time does that dang show come on?.I’ve been up all night like a dummy.Insomnia ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.. :dancers: :yippee:
Sue P, and why can’t the consumer just “Say No To Chinese Goods … They are on probation … then they must deal with “fair” practice laws.

Melina, I thought that Frank Rich was excellent, today, but of course I can’t post it because I get the paper not “Times Select.” Can you post it?
Zeek,ask Sunshine Jim.He’s been on the Blog alot longer than me.
I watched this Blog,and Sam’s blog for about 2 1/2years off,and on before I got up the nerve to log-in.Now I’m a pain in the butt!!
Yes,I was A lurker.With a small (l).HeHe..Jim Earl is killing me! :rofl2: :dancers: :banana: :yippee:
Druid, aside from avoiding Walmart which is the Chinese import capitol, and I do, how do you even know where things come from? Before they poisoned our pets, I had no idea that wheat gluten came from China, or 50% of apple juice for that matter. It’s really a problem.
Hey, Jim. Yeah, you right. You dropped the C-word at the end so I wanted to put this up of the folks I will see Wednesday. This is in my friend’s barn with my HS “sweetheart”. :rofl2: Queen Ida has a cameo.
I should try to cut it there lest someone tells us to get a room but in the interest of making sure the MSBlog has some Nudie content I’ll add this one where Cajun meets Country and this one where still another Elvis meets the :bee: s.

Sue, isn’t it Rich? Don’t NYTimes subscribers get Select or do you try to steal off of someone’s stoop like me?
:nod: Sue P … :pirate: 😉 :pirate:
What I would do, if in office, is to make a ban for the future, as of Weeks/Months “ago”, ban any Chinese goods since they now are on probation. All goods I would trace back to the chinese company’s , send back and demand monies back, organizations in US using Chinese product “has to eat their loss, since the US companies tried to cut corners on the consumers lives, and … (… more ideas if needed……) 😉 :pirate:

Jim, just curious. Does air-ono truly hate Sam? Always sniping about the show and blog.
Oh man, Nick Lowe. That takes me back. I may have to bust out the Stiff Records box set tonight. Back in college, Stiff was an automatic purchase for me. Even if the record wasn’t great, at least you knew it would be interesting.
Nick, on the other hand, was ALWAYS great. I saw Rockpile open for Blondie and not only blow them off the stage, but out of Cleveland.
:banana:
Sounds like I need to track down that new Nick Lowe CD this week.
Kevin, Mink Deville on that bill as well? I just wanted to see Rockpile.
Hello all, was watching my brother’s dog this weekend. They finally come by to pick her up. I have come to a momentous decision……I am NOT a pet person.
Andy, not a problem. Strap ’em on to the roof of the car. Outta site, outta mind.
It’s the following the dog around with a plastic bag picking up it’s shit, and cleaning the piss out of my carpet…twice..and it still stinks.
Kevin, Mink Deville on that bill as well? I just wanted to see Rockpile.
Comment by vernon — July 1, 2007 @ 5:26 pm
I wish. Never got to see Mink DeVille, although I have seen footage from around that time. Willy was one intense singer.
It was probably the same tour as the one you saw. It was right after Heart Of Glass became a hit. Blondie blew it off about six songs into their set, then Debbie was pissed for the rest of the show because the audience didn’t cheer as much for the other stuff.
After the encore, Clem Burke kicked over his drumkit, threw his sticks down, flipped us dual birds
:fu:
and stomped off.
Actually, we were all just worn out from cheering for Rockpile!
:banana:
NEWSDADDY!!!
Vernon, thatnks for posting the column. I thought Rich did a really good job.
As for the Times, I buy the paper at a stand every day. That entitles me to nothing. I can only post what is free on line and that doesn’t include the opeds.
I would love to subscribe and have it delivered but it doesn’t always come early enough for my commute to work and the one rule of teaching is: never find yourself without the Times or you will be a} bored and B} accosted by people who want to talk to you. The Times is great for hiding behind and it has a good cross word.
Druid, you’ve got my vote. Hubby was telling me that he saw a Chinese woman interviewed on TV and she said she never buys anythig that’s made in China. Unfortunately, I understand.
I still want to know what Walmart is doing as they are the #$^^%$#
who outsourced everything to China and pushed their distributors to make things cheaper and cheaper. I have not heard a word from or about them.
Sue, just keeding a little.
I know you are supposed to buy at the stand back there. Otherwise, it would probably get stolen before you got it anyway.
They should figure out a Select accommodation for people like you.
Farmerkat, wherever you are, Bonds is an All-Star game starter! :banana: :yippee:
Barrogance!
Vernon, ’tis true the paper gets stolen but even worse are neighbors who don’t steal and let it sit there to announce you are not home. Things to think about when ordering the NY Times.
still hoping for a gore draft but, in the mean time this is good news from the edwards campaign:
—-
At 8:51 p.m. a $10 dollar contribution from Janet, of Clayton, Indiana put us over the $9 million dollar mark for the second quarter.
And here’s something else incredible: It turns out Janet was the 95,212th person to contribute to the campaign—so we only need 4,788 new donors to hit 100,000 total contributors

happy birthday! you could bring leftovers up here to seattle and i’d be happy to help you out!
:nod:
hey- Willy Deville is actually from Stamford and an old friend of Will’d drum teacher …I just scored some cds from him to rip to my ipod.
Apparently Willy stays mainly in Europe but when he comes here I can get in to see him..
what a small world.,..he was one of my favorites from back before the old springsteen days…he was maybe the original old springsteen…and perhaps the real dylan…
I would never have guess him to be a southern CT boy as opposed to a real NYC kid….but I guess its so close that if one leans in that direction one can pick up all the influences…
I also love southside johnny and the asbury jukes…
and of course Carlene carter, rockpile, and all the usual suspects…
especially early elvis costello…
Poor carlene almost bit the dust with that tom petty bass player, Howie, but she is making a recovery as well as could be expected after deteriorating so badly, right before our eyes, like a crystal meth addict!
She is one talented chick! Ive seen her a few times and some of her records are just the most excellent things in existence…
sue- I used to get the audible NY times, and THAT comes out at 3 am or some such..it can be in your ipod by 5 or 6 AM as I recall…earlier of you leave the thing connected all night, I guess…
which is one reason why I was always mad about the AAR podcasts coming so late…and the lame excuse that Bob is only one guy, etc…
well, if its free then I accept it…but when you charge, it should be forthcoming pretty quick.
hey Vern, to go to BC or Mexico you only need to show a copy of an application for a passport renewal…this because they cant possibly fill all the new requests from the new laws.
Pretty strange that they would have a huge windfall of cash from the increased applications and that they cant fucking hire some people to process these things…or maybe its the halliburton passport making company causing the screwups…?.
concert for diana on NBC features Duran Duran…still pretty darned bad after all these years…I must be old..
I worked on the first party for their groundbreaking video for that newfangled MTV thing…at studio 54..we had a boat brought in so they could hangon to it and pretend to sing the song…was that RIO?
next…fergie…who was not even a star when Di was alive…?
hasnt it been 10 or 20 years?…
Carlene has relocated to Northern California and played a warm up gig last week here that I missed before heading to Europe for some dates. Sounds like she is doing better.
Springsteen and Johnny spent a lot of time and lived in Richmond before they broke. I saw Bruce then before he was Bruce (Child and Steel Mill with ‘Silvio’) but Southside only out here.
Fergie lost all that weight recently and has been doing those Weight Watchers commercials.
I’m sorry the lady died, but this is ridiculous. Only slightly less stupid than Paris Hiltonism. Slightly.
Folks, you got a domestic crisis, where young Brits of Pakistani ancestry want to kill you. Wake the fuck up please.Get the troops out of the middle east; it worked just fine for the Spanish. Tony the Poodle is gone; now’s a good time to do it.
Hearing Duran Duran again makes me want to blow up the underground.
There’ll always be an England,damnit all. :sammy:
Tom Jones…still good…
well…lets not do the importance of Princess di thing, OK crest?
Unless you want to compare someone who raised AIDS awareness and walked in minefields…broke all conventions, with Paris Hilton…really??
Im sorry but maybe we shouldn’t go there because she was some one who migth have been not so smart or whatever, but she was damned empathetic enough to put aside her opportunities to be another stuffy royal and ot break out and actually change hger country.
I wonder what she wouldn have been doing if she had been around now…what she would have said to tony blair about the war…
I liked her…and I really felt her loss…still do.
She was an example of what everyone can do regardless of their level of knowledge or background…she actually went out and embraced whatever she could and whatever touched her…
so there…
anyway, this is for her charity…what have you got against that? I expect that her message of tolerance is a good hting in that society…and I hope that her charities might have reached out to british muslims in that aparthied of poverty…
Hmmmm whatever :doh: 10-9? It must be The Wane
A.I.V. maybe Pink will Get Me started :doh: it has been a few days … I think just sad 🙁 *poof*
Princess Di died? Holy shit. I always liked Fergie better, anyway. She seems more like a partier.
And though I don’t like P- Diddy , he is saying “clap your hands for the people we’ve lost in this war”…
I view this as a pretty overtly political show…as opposed to the brits staying home with the telly watching a little British idol or something …
Southside Johnny played, like, every college event back when I was in college the first time around. Always liked them. Ah, those were the days. Saw Dire Straits in a bar in Buffalo, just before they broke big. Also saw The Police in a bar in Buffalo. Saw God in a bar in Buffalo one night, too. Still have Henry Paul’s guitar pick, from a show in (yeah, you guessed it) a bar in Buffalo.
well, Fergie has done alot too…and she is still speaking out about it and raising her kids…
Di just had the spotlight and used it for good. You have to at least give her that.
I dont like the monarchy much, but these women have brought alot of change…considering how backwards that crowd is.
JFI, Fergie is a Lib… now to *oof* :rofl2: LBH *poof* for real
vern…fergie the singer performed…and fergie the sister in law is the weight watcher’s gal…and her daughters are dancing behind the young princes…who apparently put this thing together all by themselves…totally hands on with all the performers and what they would do.
Sir Elton looks pretty ragged…but …oh well…I guess we’re all old.
I remember watching the royal wedding live from a commercial set at 5AM NYC time…just happened to be up getting ready for the crew to arrive!…jeeze…
not an elton john fan, but I did like Captain Fantastic …
southside johnny is a great songwriter…i actually saw his band on a double bill with little Steven and the disciples of soul…
those guys were so great…big use of horn sections…
remember Hearts of Stone?
Elton John wrote some great stuff. I thought he was great before the duck outfits (like, Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only the Piano Player).
Of course, nobody beats Eddie and the Cruisers.
It’s ok to talk about pop music stuff. I enjoy getting to experience this vicariously as I have zero connections to anybody in music, apart from as a fan.
This is sacrilege to say in New Jersey, but I always liked Southside Johnny better than Springsteen. For that matter, I like the Smithereens better than Springsteen. No, these are not “important” bands, just bar bands, but for pure Joisey rock ‘n’ roll, no one beats them.
I feel better…ahhhhh
I just heard Remy Zero’s, Save Me, for Superman (TV) :rofl2:
and that made me feel…….WFI (LBH) …. .better, :pirate: A!I!V!
Eddie and the Cruisers…aka Beaver brown band…yeah!!
definitley…
I loved the very early springsteen stuff…just loved it. It was so dylan, but also so much more visceral than dylan ever was.
Like Lost in the Flood…one of my childhood anthems…if you can believe that!
so many fireworks here…every town seems to be doing theirs…
we got alot, alot today…the big $100 + bonus pack and Will got one of the biggest thing they had.
We can blow off anything that doesn’t shoot in the air…so as long as it stays on the ground its OK…
I worry about the smoke and pollution the make but…who knows?
Melina, I admit that am a troglodite when it comes to computers and their spawn, but I also just like the paper newspaper.
“I wonder what she wouldn have been doing if she had been around now…what she would have said to tony blair about the war…”
i always figgered they offed her just because she was bucking a couple centuries of the Brit power elite attitude.
she turned into a pretty good person as she was growing up. i think her kids centered her pretty much. she was also way less hypocritical then the rest of the royals.
:billcat:
pj, 100 again?
Oh gawd, Jill, don’t make me come over there. I sort of liked Little Steven more than Southside (someone mention MTV?) but I get that bar band thing. I love NRBQ like that. Bruce is a whole different universe even before he was ‘Bruce’. Not there is anything wrong with the Smiterheens.
WHT, that was what I referred to above. We should be bitchin’ about Mark Green or sumpin, not this music crap.
Yes, Melina, I know who Fergie Humpalicious is. :rofl2:
now there’s a great bar band, mark green & the fuckups!’
how’re everybody’s animals doing on this six day 4th of july?
just waiting for dark to start handing out chew treats i bought for the dogs to distract them. cats don’t seem to care much. of course i will have every radio in the house on top volume at mega bass again tonight.
Sue P, YEA :yippee: YEA
… to the someone else who uses “troglodite”…someone “laughed” at me (and a reletive also) when I use it … however I can’t use it in the negative anymore, especially since “Neanderthal” is not a “negative” being and “dull”, thus sayeth “academia”,
so never, ever (for me) use “troglodote” in the negative cuz it “just” means a cave dweller …thus I say toxic or acrid rethug troglodite :rofl2:
as with “pagan” just “USED” to just mean … “of the country”. 😉 …A!I!V!
Funny, roxie, I am sitting here listening to the beginning of the blasts. I was hearing them the last few days after the recent turrah incidents and caught on eventually. Since there are a lot of Asian folks out here there are a lot of ‘pops’. A couple of years ago some guy’s garage full of fireworks not far from here blew up and quickly took out three houses.
druid:
i did not know that…just a couple of country gals here, huh?
😳 :doh: NEVERMIND, ROXIE ( :yippee: )
I “get it” … :banana:
wow vernon!
lots of asians of various persuasions in my hood also. all very big on fireworks…4th of july, chinese new years, new years eve & oh my, the weddings… :omg:
fortunately, no one seems to be stockpiling mass quantities, thank goodness.
dru:
that pagan meant of the country. 😎
we made it through the worst of the fireworks…only little orchid the black bug dog who weighs only 3 lbs or so (a rescue) i s afraid of fireworks…but she just sits by me and shakes.
I was grilling right then anyway, so I was sorta out and in…
the rest of them seem OK. Birds are overtired anyway because we’ve been on a crazy late schedule since school ended.
Birds need 12 hours of sleep per night…
You guys made me look

i was wondering about your birds melina. i always feel sorry for wild birds when there’s lots of fireworks or, even worse, the blue angels who come for days at “seafair.”
they scare the :crap: out of me if i’m not expecting a flyover!
thanks for all the links vernon. i can’t watch them on my handheld but i email them to myself and watch them on the grownuo computer when i get to one.

Don’t worry about her birds. They listen to Ryan Adams.
We get that Blue Angels crap during Fleet Week 1st weekend of October. Now we also have a great free “bluegrass” festival that weekend as well.
One of the high/lowlights is the thousands of :fu: in the air every time they intruded. There are some local gubment folks that are trying to stop the flyovers.
we’ve been on a gardening binge,
the doggers both ignore the firecrackers,
i take em to the range and hunting fairly frequently
i was straightening up some aluminum, Ruzz zipped by and nailed a mouse!
she paraded around with it for a bit and then dropped it in front of Bgurl in case she was hungry.
:pirate: One Eye Jack got out (when Danu was going out) so a’fear’d … some of the other cats :billcat: are freak’d, some not. :yawn:
:bow: Miami Little Steve(n) “Silvio Dante†Van Zandt

Wow Cool — I don’t think speedway was there? so where in GGP? via my time and whereabouts and in early 80’s? near The Sunset (my sister’s “joint” near The Waves and/or … Cool, on rooftops)? … A!I!V! …… what happen’d sis?

Well, I was trying to quit but this one dragged me back Bruce, a song about a comedian, an Elvis connection, a truck stop and pro wrestling, a song about the moon and space travel, it is the buck moon now
