Good Morning, fellow Devil Worshipers. So, another weekend is upon us. That generally means doing a bunch of shit you don’t really want to do, or feeling guilty about not doing a bunch of shit you don’t want to do, but should. Having been born Catholic, I tend to feel guilty about everything I’ve done, not done, or even thought about about doing. Not guilty enough to actually change anything, of course. Fortunately, I can live with that.
Since everyone knew his tunes, Chuck Berry would often tour using whatever musicians who were around for a backup band. He lost this guitarist 27 years ago today. I, like millions, found out on Monday Night Football. I think the percussionists are still available.

Good morning. :joe: :joe: It’s a nice clear cold morning on Shelter Island. The weatherman says it’s gonna rain. I hope not. But, it’s nice and warm inside and all I MUST do is clean up the house.
Hubby,without crutches, is walking (hobbling) more and more and last night he and I went to the video store together. We haven’t walked into a store together for 2 1/2 months. He said it feels wonderful to walk. No, I didn’t quibble and tell him what he’s doing is not REALLY walking. I think it’s wonderful too.
He still uses those crutches, often, but I think soon he’ll be relying only on the cane.
Some 27% of Iranians believe Iran will have a nuclear weapon in the next 50 years, compared with 86% of Americans, according to a December 2006 poll by the Program on International Policy Attitudes.
• A National Intelligence Estimate this year concluded Iran was playing only a minimal role in fueling sectarian violence in Iraq, a view that contrasted with White House accusations.
• The U.S. has enforced sanctions against Iran since 1987. The State Department eased those sanctions in 2000 to allow Americans to purchase rugs, dried fruits, nuts and caviar from Iran.
• In the year’s first quarter, China’s exports to Iran increased by 36% to $1.6 billion, and Russia’s exports by 57% to $609 million. German exports fell 9% to $1.2 billion, and French exports fell 8% to $484 million.

Do you have this feeling that the SBR is loosing its influence with the major players in both Eastern Europe and in Asia ??.. It must be terrifying to a capitalist to not be wanted much less required any longer 😮 :reaper: :reaper:
You confuse capitalists with the US. The global corporatists that run the show have no national loyalties. I don’t think they feel loyalty to anything, except money and power. Not that I’ve ever been invited to the Bilderberg Conference or anything.
Fortunately, someone had the good sense to turn down Yoko’s mike. :nuts:
The SBR had a lot of influence in the politics and economics in other countries through the world bank and the IMF .. With the Russians and the Chinese in particular not requiring the services of either and perhaps starting their own similar operations I am sure it makes the power brokers in DC very nervous. :reaper: :reaper:
John Lennon :gate: :fist: I hope he’s not resting anymore. I hope he’s reincarnated himself into the person that’s gonna prosecute these bastids. :fist: Or maybe he’s hanging out with all the cool musicians that have died recently and doesn’t want to bother with earth anymore. I wouldn’t blame him.
Louisiana Rep. Jim McCrery, senior Republican on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, told associates Friday he intends to retire rather than seek re-election in 2008.
McCrery, 58, joins 17 other Republicans who are headed into voluntary retirement as the party struggles to adjust to its return to minority status in the 2006 elections.

They call them “deep dives,” special briefings for President Bush to meet with not just his advisers but also the analysts who study Iran in the bowels of the intelligence world. Starting last year, aides arranged a series of sessions for Bush to “get his hands dirty,” in the White House vernacular for digging into intelligence to understand what is known and not known.
Preparing for what might be the defining foreign policy challenge of his final years in office, Bush was struck by the limited intelligence on Tehran’s nuclear program and pressed for more, said officials familiar with the sessions. But if Bush hoped for solid evidence that Iran was trying to build nuclear bombs, what came back proved more surprising — Iran did have a nuclear weapons program but shut it down four years ago.

So I got up this morning at 7:30, got the paper, and decided to lay back down for a few minutes. Five hours late, I got back up. And best of all, I don’t feel guilty. Tee hee.
And this week I found out that the magic Mormon underpants thing is for real! I thought Stephie and the mooks were making it up. To me, this is the sort of thing Willard “call me Mitt” should be explaining if he wants people to not think of his religion as a freak show.
Honestly, if he had a legitimate explanation for the magic underpants, I would sit still, listen to it and do my best to keep a straight face for as long as I could. Really. I was raised Catholic and am accustomed to hearing goofy, illogical explanations that make no sense.
And don’t you think Jon Stewart is crying himself to sleep every night because of the writers’ strike? Between Willard’s underpants, Rudy’s Sex On The City and Hillary making fun of Obama in kindergarten, you really couldn’t make this shit up.
:rofl2:
I think, but don’t quote me on this, that the magic underpants were supposed to protect you from an Indian attack. :pirate:
The SF Chronicle (SFGate.com) is reporting Harry Reid has or will cave in to the Maniac-In-Chief’s money demands for fighting his wars. I think it is time Reid take a seat in the back of the room.
I hold the same opinion of Nancy Pelosi. She ought to step aside and let a Democrat lead the House.
NC Blue, A major Tempest in a Tea Pot to change the Paradigm.aka Tornado, Quake, Sea Change, Volcano to clear out certain offices. Reid and Pelosi and Feinstein are beginning to “look” very similar.. What happened to the Soul of my city? :fist: A!I!V!
Hey NC Blue!
I’ve been more disappointed than not with the leadership of those 2. :tap:
I think, but don’t quote me on this, that the magic underpants were supposed to protect you from an Indian attack.

Maybe if I keep watching Big Love, they’ll mention it. HBO Signature is rerunning season 1 on Saturday nights, and a couple of weeks ago Roman said something about baptizing the dead, which had been news to me until about three weeks prior to that.
Personally, if someone came at my junk with a tomahawk, I’d want more than some magic drawers for protection. :omg:
But Kevin, they’re MAGIC! Your junk will be fine in a tomahawk attack.
Hey-oh!
Congressional Democrats are poised to hand President Bush upward of $50 billion in Iraq funding with no strings attached, and they’ve already offered to cut $11 billion from their domestic spending bills.
But in an unusual Saturday afternoon statement, the White House said it would veto any omnibus spending bill that exceeds the president’s domestic spending request, a clear sign that the administration is unwilling to compromise on appropriations as the Christmas holidays approach. The House is expected to vote Tuesday on a $520 billion bill that wraps all domestic spending into one package, along with billions for Iraq with no troop withdrawal conditions, and the Senate is likely to follow with a vote later in the week.
Still, White House Budget Director Jim Nussle said Saturday it’s too much money for domestic programs – and not enough for the war.

In some denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement, the temple garment (or the Garment of the Holy Priesthood, or informally, the garment or garments, or by those outside of the faith, either Mormon underwear or pejoratively, magic underwear) is a set of sacred underclothing worn by adult adherents who have taken part in a ritual ceremony known as washing and anointing ordinance, usually in a temple as part of the Endowment ceremony. In modern times, the temple garment is worn primarily by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) along with several small religious groups who separated from the LDS Church. Adherents consider them to be sacred and may be offended by public discussion of the garments. Anti-Mormon activists have publicly displayed or defaced temple garments to show their opposition to the LDS Church.

Wiki has a whole discussion of Mormon underwear, including illustrations.
However magic they may be, if push comes to shove, I’d have to put my faith in the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
This may or may not have been posted but it’s well worth watching. MSM confronting bu$h’s lies and Rachel Maddow and Pat Buchannon agreeing.
See, they don’t say Indians but that’s what that means. Magic underwear.
There is some graffiti on a way in Brooklyn, that’s been there since Bush was elected. It says: CONservative governMENt. I think it gets the succinct and to the point award.
I had heard them called angel pants but I read, this evening, that is a pejorative term.
Rachel Maddow is awesome. :fist: Those fucks are gonna spin this into their graves. :tap:
Angel pants! :rofl2: :rofl2: Haven’t heard that one!
Snow (Heh Oh) … Can I put this either from my iTunes or on You tube TO my whatever page or whatever song on MySpace? I STILL have to “work” and build Facebook site, page or whatever…..A!I!V!
If I missed all Bloggies I was watching The Grinch ….with Jim Carrey — I never watched before in FULL. A!I!V! :tap: What a Mush :doh:
