on one stage reading their poetry"
"I think Allen Ginsberg standing up there reading - putting himself on the line - was one of the two bravest things I've ever seen. Remember, it was '55. People had crew cuts, and they looked at you like you were misplaced cannon fodder. The country was being run by Luce publications. It was a dangerous, cold, ugly time, and it was scary. . .
In all our memories no one had been so outspoken in poetry before. We had gone beyond a point of no return. None of us wanted to go back to the grey, chill, militaristic silence, to the intellectual void - to the land without poetry - to the spiritual drabness. We wanted to make it new and we wanted to invent it and the process of it as we went into it. We wanted voice and we wanted vision."
-Michael McClure
Over and over, in election year after election year, GE and MidTerms both… the Dems start to purr and preen, they stretch luxuriously - at just being TOLD they are going to win [...]
It never fails.
... in February of 2002, looking over the already joyless congressional stragglers willing to be drafted for duty… they barely dreamed, yet, it was even possible (Howard, a different person then, had not arrived to say it could be done)… but one thing was clear, we could not rely on the party to swing it. Could not. You could smell it, they would screw the deal. And I am not talking about Howard and primary issues here. By the end, that was a passing political story. Chuck it on the heap.

Upshot? The Republicans make it thru. They hold on.

From the man who entertains Jesus in his marriage bed. (I refer to the famous Obama threesome with Jesus, because Slobby says that with marriage “God is in the mix”… you know, as he “evolves” on SSM).
I now officially believe all of the shit in the 2008 GE about him being a closet case.
he has BIG problems.

Bang Bang, Win Win. I SAY With Extra incentives for activists attempting to shoot their way into – and out of – a correctional facility. I mean what other proposal out there offers something which everybody get behind? From the NRA to the Black Bloc to the Prison Industrial Complex and their banks , to the media , even Ma and Pa Kettle taking pot shots from the hills as chaos rages on in the valleys and streets and towns and cities below?
There’s something in this for everyone!
I say Corzine counts for two….

LOL Somethin like that. Another Winner.
pretty fucking weep worthy ..isn’t it all ….. I always suspected things were royally fucked up, but had far more hope for humanity, even with my life long taunting cynicism.
talking to a 25-ish official young person this week, one who was elated with Obby 4 years ago, ain’t. feelin, it, at all now, the unrelenting incarceration the body snatching as revenue stream into the system being specifically mentioned.
well at least the 25ish-er is reading… too many barely pay attention and luve them some Obama.
Personally I don’t think he is as well liked as the PR spin goes, nor Memsab either. And I think a few of the story lines being hyped as part of GE year, Florida shooting for one, but it is just one, are not going to end up benefitting Slob.
I’m sure there is still hope (sigh, I guess? ..I do pray …), …just looking at the posts ‘here” ..but it sure is getting down to the bottom wire, …. nightmares of one eyed BP/DC et al, and over the pond, shrimp …who are running things to the bottom of a septic tank.
Interesting Porter article on Iran:
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/ND20Ak01.html
I’m always somewhat taken aback by the visual predominance of CIA ads at Asia Times.
Not at all saying that I think that articles there are CIA driven …the ‘soft’[MIC/"FINANCE"]ware world …has usurped near everything.
I’m curious as to your and Marisa’s take on the predominance of CIA ads at Asia Times ( http://www.atimes.com/ ).
I’ll have to go take a look, been a while since I regularly read Asia TImes…
I saw it change a lot a few years ago, and began to drop away from going there regularly…. and Pepe did far too much glossing over about Slob in ’07, ’08….
I must be missing the ads….. my computer did tell me it blocked a pop up (something about a report it says WSJ wants hidden, LOL) bt other than that not sure what might not be appearing.
Ads for Moldovan brides…. etc.
interesting, my puter is set so that it blocks many ads, and pop ups (videos, downloading, etc.), and the CIA ads on the site have been predominating on my screen for at least a month.
(at the very top, and upper far right of the “web page.”)
nope not here…. I have a Disney ad the top middle, then an ad for “Guffins” some sort of virtual pet, roughly under the Disney… and on the right top, United Health Care, carrying a logo of UHCTV… then little Google ads for things like Moldovan brides, etc.
fwiw.
I don’t understand, are you saying Right Stuff Dating is CIA? (it could be but I have no idea)
No, the right stuff dating post was separate (wasn’t saying it was CIA).
My computer screen shows two very clear ads with the (at least apparent) non acronymized, Full CIA emblem/Seal, at the top and upper righthand side of the page. Initially, it will read:
after which, the script changes to:
Nope they don’t appear on my Asia Times page
At the bottom I have an ad for soemthing called “Scrapbook Nook”. Plus what I mentioned earlier…
That’s it…
well, it’s already been announced (as to online searches, and ads) to us frogs boiling (to the chirp of crickets), that we aren’t all seeing the same things on our ‘puter screens;’ … that, in fact, the ads and searches have been quite targeted…… by locale and, deemed highly individual, characteristics,……. sigh …
and, If it helps at all, I’m using Microsoft Internet Explorer, (not at all because I want to) version 8, ‘setting:’ Tools/Internet Options/Security/Custom Level/High
I have my security set low moderate….
(I probably should add, that I’m not saying that right stuff isn’t the perfect source, and hasn’t been the predominant, perfect source, for white gloved murderous scum, as the Ivy Leaguers, certainly, appear to have historically predominated in the Central Intelligence Agency, by anyone’s honest reckoning.)
For me too. Maybe it’s because of what websites we visited prior….some kind of cookie?
Not sure what it is. I never allow cookies, always delete temp files and delete the flash cookies (per this piece, IE8, IE9, and the Adobe Flashplayer 10.3 version are supposed to make it easier to delete them now, at least in conjunction with IE), from the rare (painfullly slowwwwww to bufffffferrrrr) video I might watch. I don’t use, or visit, any of the Social Sites™, mostly use seach sites that note that they don’t collect data (like ixquick.com or its sister site smartpage.com, which I think are run by a libertarian group), never ever click on ads and never buy online. In my case, the thing I notice is how my location is acknowledged in some of the news pages I read and some ads that come up.
oh, … speaking of Obombster, go check out this ( jpg pic file here: (for posterity!)), before it disappears.
(sorry, jpg pic file (hopefully): here)
welp, the site page has now changed to what looks to be a bowl of gruel soup with melted marshmallow in the shape of a hart ..and I’m finding my jpg pic link is not fully opening for me (it was a picture of what looked to be the backs of a black couple, resembling the Obombster pairing enough to bring them to mind(to my mind).
interesting, currently 11:42PM EST, the piccy is back to the Obombster looking couple, maybe the right stuff have it set to change every so often, I’ll have to check frequently, as I’m ever so amused by the snide, mean symbolism that I knee jerk on, I really don’t think it’s unintentional at this point, and that sounds insane, even to me ..but it appears to be deliberately vicious, …..at the very least ..astoundingly ignorant and cruel,…despite such wizdom and white paperdom.
(oh,… did I mention …gruel served up by such a pale, ethereal™ and faceless MALE™ benefactor….Such long fine boned, articulately fingered, hands, ..one can just feel the comfort! …. and the white gloved drones to come …..)
All of these would be improved with a laugh track…

oh… speaking of Corzine (upthread) I just read somewhere during the night, he has donated already, as in the most recent reporting from Slob, to the Obama Re-Elect.
LOL Shouldn’t that money be returned? Seized? Spat on?
Sumthin’?
JPMorgan will seize it from the minor tellers servicing the transaction. It’s all retro now, Maybe we’ll get a toaster of it, you know, since they keep all the tote-bags stuffed nowdays for themselves. The Fuckers.

Thank you Jesus…
Of course I was limited to what I could find online, but I never could find much over the years on his “prison ministry”…. but it sure stank to high heaven.

good riddance
Jeremy Scahill highlighted the tight relationship Colson had with Eric Prince (including a $500k donation Prince’s Freiheit Foundation gave to to Colson’s Prison Fellowship) in his book Blackwater …. With pals like that, no small wonder there wasn’t much available info.
yeah there obviously is a lid on writing about the Colson ministry….
I spent a few hours or so, a few months back, when the subject of Prisons came up, which usually reminds me of Colson, and found pretty much zilch.
All Data Wants To Be Known™ only about the average Joessa and Joe who are being mercilessly surveilled in every single thing they do or say..
oh I have looked over the years for information on the Colson ministry…. it always struck me as too likely a cover story for some very strange recruiting… but over and over there is nothing … I suppose if one had access to Rand reports, or DOJ or the Federal Dept of Prisons reports tht THERE is the mention, assessment, reporting on and about Colson ministries… but not for public consumption.
LOL Likely CCA passes around information on Colson Ministries…
I don’t know if diane is around, but I sent some of the recent reporting on BP and the Gulf and the state of the fishing industry to Pat T at KGO radio…. sounds like she will be covering it…
She was not clear if today or tomorrow, I see as I reread the email.
But in case you are home and interested.
Thanks hon!
hmmm sounds like she may cover it tomorrow, did nto catch her mentioning the Gulf as she went over what she plans for tonight… right now she is on the murder suicide up in Petaluma a couple of days ago…
I think she mentioned the Secret S cartagena, something or other abuot Trayvon/Zimmerman…. and another subject that I frget entirely at the moment…
Wow, she’s had some real assholes call in, ..perfected versions of Angry Males [Fuck that Bitch!!!] …just stopped short of she deserved it!!!!™ (and one was supposedly a fricking family therapist?) ….so depressing ……. Ohh shit, another one Angry White Male™ just called in (mehbe it’s Team Work!!!!!!™). Pat needs to dig up the stats on violence on females, though I’m sure it won’t shut the fuckers up.
(yeah she hasn’t mentioned BP for this evening, I’ll check her out tomorrow, if I can, too.)
oh I thought the so called “family therapist” is too likely a religiously connected MALE therapist. Or a Promise Keeper type… etc.
AND OF COURSE there are women abusers, I would never deny that. And there most certainly is physical abuse in same sex relationships both male and ffemale. I’d never deny that either…
Yeah I have noticed that Pat does nto come to her shows as prepared as she used to… she almost ALWYS had at least one piece of information I had never landed on….
Yeah, the Therapist did remind of a well practiced zealot fingerwagger about unclean wimmins.
(I wonder if Pat’s new ‘style’ has anything to do with the even more conservative mindset of the new KGO ownership, I still prefer listening to her over the rest of them.)
hmm it seems likely that at some point Cumulus will clean house on the weekend.. I am guessing Pat knows the spot is not long term… They moved her program around a lot, from over night, to morning then to evening and not the same hours both Sat and Sun. Mostly I forget to listen to her… I jst don’t think of KGO in late afternoon…

Looks like Sarko is history.
Everything i Have been reading for some time now, expected that in the “second round” Hollande lead would widen… and oddly enough, Sarko got nothing but a very small, quickly snuffed out, bump from the whole ‘killer on the motorcycle’ series of kills….
I don’t expect much from Hollande, but I am glad to b rid (at a distance!,
) of Sarko. I so wished he had been happy to be very rich and long time mayor of Neuilly… but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo….
Uggggh, what a mess in Pittsburgh, PA …with the bomb threats, three plus months’ worth, I believe. …Looks like anyone who ever criticized any corrupted institute will become a suspect (the kiddles, teens, and near adults now urged to keep that inexperienced eye out …..for potential fiends). ….I’m surprised they didn’t cut off all landline and mobile phone activity too…along with e-mail servers.
And no, I wouldn’t put it pass the powers that be…. (in currency) … to be the perps …This is a country where the Joint Chiefs of staff seriously considered bombing a commercial plane, or two, …full of citizens, to embarrass Fidel Castro, …….let alone ….. just dial 911!!!!!™ (yeah I do think 911!!!!™ stunk to high heaven …… on this side of the pond, it seems to be the only logical conclusion, to my mind).
I wouldn’t be surprised at a lone person, who snapped, making bomb threats, …. but at this point, three months later …….e-mails, yet, wall, toilet paper, hand towel scrawlings (many e-mails made: to un-named media sources in quite a few articles I scanned) it really does seem to be a multi person concerted effort …my thoughts go to the most corrupt, moneyed and brutal party evident at this point, the “UZ Corp.”
really, I should have included the “UZ Corp.’s” so very many wannabes …who subscribe to wapping folks over the skull with the oars on the presumed Life Boat™ , all the hired Security, Snoop thugs out there …… who actually enjoy dicking and jigging “folks.”
(I initially thought it might be a sole person.. and that it revolved around ’Pitt’ … and UPMC , the ([$$$$$$]Non[$$$$$$] Profit™) University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, … which appears to have devoured anything decent and humane concerning the care of another of one’s same ‘species.’ …… From what I’ve heard (second (intimate) party), UPMC pays a liveable wage to have persons troll the nets to find means of not insuring people ..because somehow, a medical institute[s] has been allowed to enter the insurance industry while being one of the only remaining “health care centers” …after they forced everyone else ..out of business.)
And lord knows, when I read (“red” as in “red up” … a PA fave ) about UPMC opening up an organ transplant ‘institute’ in, or near mehbe (hard to recollect …PTSD?) Sicily …all I could think of was the extent of US Ancient organized political crime, legal and “illegal” …in that city of three rivers …where so many have jumped off those many bridges …onto concrete …instead of that toxined ‘water’ …
I guess the powers that be, …. no longer concern themselves with being ‘exposed,’ ….way too late?
hmm I am a little surprised, I mena that they would set up in a universal care country…. I wonder if organ transplant is outside the state covered medical care… I know littleof Italy’s coverage or how it works, tho I do know most ordinary care and surgeries are covered….
I am sure too it has someething to do with the international trade in organs… black, grey and in full sunshine.
I can’t tell you how terrified I was of that surgery and how many idiot interns I had dancing aorund my bed in the ER for hours. I complained so much, the good thing was that I had an actual fully fledged surgeon… and NOT a third year/Resident.
I’m so glad you survived it honey, you mean a lot, to myself and so many others ….so horrifying that people, especially if they are past 50, even, (now) can be disappeared and “scientically” explained away …..
being quite familiar with the historic Mafia predominance in Pittsburgh (for fucks sake, if you had no Elite, or “Academia” Connections, you couldn’t get a decent job unless you had an “Uncle” …or, Fucked an “Uncle”), soze the first thing that came to my mind, was marketing vital organs.
actually, it wasn’t “Fucked an Uncle” …it was allow an “Uncle” to ‘fuck’ you …as there wasn’t much other choice, other than jumping over the bridge onto the concrete ….. if you weren’t connected ………
That is like Cal Pacific Medical Center, they have bought up almost everything in town. The ohter big entity is UC Medical Center… (or Kaiser!)
I found CPMC to be appallingly bad… and over the years I had been in it so much for parents and a wide variety of friends… not just drop in visit with flowers but staying 10, 12, 18 hours a day, day after day…… and it used to be so excellent.
UC Med Center tho was always bad. I was there a lot too…
These huge teaching hospitals are horrors, unless really tightly run.
yeah, the “teaching hospitals,” my brother had neck surgery and, had he been without family in the area, the Mother Fuckers would have, likely, killed him.
(Palo Alto Medical Center, is all over the map in the South Bay, well down into the Santa Cruz area, despite the fact that “Palo Alto” is about 50 miles north of Santa cruz)
(that “hospital”‘s name, includes the letters “n,” “r,” and “o.” ….. they sent him home 3 days after two major surgeries to the front, and the back, of the neck …his local hospital, didn’t want to get involved, so when he went in on the weekend, they said (paraphrase) you should go to that hospitals emergency ward on Monday (the next Biz Day), he had an infected hole, rapidly approaching his spine. I picked him up as quick as possible, and we were fucked around with, for about five hours, though that teaching hospital did, then, find it necessary to keep him there for another week.)
I have no idea why CPMC kept me, so long both times…. 7 days in the first go round, then 11 or 12 days on the second. I really expected to be sent home 24 hours after I made it out of ICU…. and was surprised they kept me in ICU as long as they did.
I don’t want to repeat it, ever. Plus I was in two bed rooms, often alone, but when someone would arrive they were always being held after early morning ambulatory surgery that had a “problem”.
ugh
If you mean when a vistor arrived, I can’t help but share the fact that when my mom recently ended up in the hospital: when I arrived (during visiting hours), there was a phone at the front desk with a note to use the phone to find out what room the patient was in. No one ever picked up the phone, after at least fifteen rings.
Soze, I went around to the emergency ward, where my brothers told me she came through. I spoke with an officious looking prick, who told me that no one was registered there, by that name. I informed him that she must be, paraphrasing: “my brothers called me from this hospital.” The Mother Fucker insisted she wasn’t ever admitted there. ………. I asked him if I could use a phone, he let me use the phone in the next cubicle. I dialed my mom’s number, of course no one answered, so I left a message that I was there, at the hospital, but they were saying she wasn’t there. After I hung up, the officious Mother Fucker had scittered off, … to fuck with some other target, …. and the young woman who had been sitting behind the officious Mother Fucker …said (paraphrase) “I can help you find your mom” …and she did ……
(sorry, “visitor” ((or visiter :0) ..of course, I’m wasted, …at this point, …revisting such criminal abuse), versus “vistor” )
No, someone who was in for ambulatory surgery had something go amiss and had to be admitted.
hug to you Marisa, that sounds really UGLY, I initially read that as having been in two different rooms, versus: rooms with two beds in them, one always dead or dying.
(MOTHER FUCKERS. [<period "marked"])
oh nobody died
well thank goodness for small favors…….
g’night honey.
what an APPALLING hypocrite.
And to think how his low-ness has cracked down, both globally and against US CITIZENS.
We are fucked.
Liar, liar … doesn’t even begin to fully encompass that ROT he’s spewing.
an officious looking prick.

95 year old veteran and 85-year-old friend humiliated, searched and robbed at San Diego TSA checkpoint
They need to check the in-box for the memo. You can be a US citizen, born and bred, worked all your life, paid taxes, even served in the military, now elderly and in a decrepit state of health and just anxious to go somewhere for a change or for family… but Gee get a clue!
You are FIRST
A FUCKING SUSPECT. And a target for the state sanctioned criminal class.
MEANWHILE the Sikhs have managed to have the 1000 yard turban declarerd religiously untouchable by Homeland Security (no really! Not even life long nuns who have worked with the poor all their lives are allowed this privilege!)… they, the turbaned, are allowed to run their hands over it, extend their hands to be tested for traces of explosive materiel and thus passed with no real disturbance to themselves or their HAT…
I so resent it.
BTW< CAIR wants the hijab, burka, niqab to b declared religious garb that may not be disturbed as well.
There’s a way to solve this to make everybody happy.
Well, almost everyone.
Simply have a machine that travelers could walk under, a modified heavy manufacturing hydraulic press of some crushing tonnage, by which a manhole sized disc of plate steel could quickly come down via an industrial drive shaft, set to clear the height of the Average American™, thus tamping down on any turbaned or ten gallon topped trrrrrsts trickery, not to mention the added benefit of warding off those dickheads from Derbyshire.
Well sure it would be a little heavy handed on taller nuns and the top-hat set. And it’d be bloody brutal on anyone over 5’9″.
But fuck it, you know, ~ Security™.
Oh I know, there may be a few wrinkles. But lets face it, the taller people have more than their fair share of the average, thus mathematically speaking, from what I know, skews the goddam average thing to begin with right?
Not to be unnecessarily draconian tho, nor biased in favor of the shorties, there could be a plate and shaft drive in the floor which could eleavate them and THEN
THEY COULD BE RUSHED DOWN TOO.
This is AMERICA Godammit!
