Well come what may, I am not giving up Ratz-zinger and his nose pendulum… 😉 not for a spray on, one size fits all. Or sized to fit all… what ever the gimmick.
He has filed for a patent for the latex spraying system he invented. “As far as I know our idea is unique,” said Krause.
He admits he will have to overcome some legal hurdles and technical niggles before he can bring the product to market, but he already has a working prototype and says the system can cater for most sizes.
“With our technology we could spray a condom on an erect elephant,” he declared, not without a hint of pride.
The system works a bit like a car wash. The man put his penis in a chamber and presses a button to start the jets of liquid latex, sucked from a detachable cartridge. The rubber dries in seconds and is later rolled off and discarded like a conventional condom.
Yes, just one more excuse to put Ratzy up there…
And yes too, just a port in the storm thread… for whomever wants one.

Hmmm…..
? They offer it in a trial size….?
And secondly, can you then fiberglass Little Mr Earnest ?
hmm trial spray, I guess. At first when I read it, I thought it came in an aersol can, but no…………….. nothing so simple.

oh that made me laugh…
Oh when are nice “decent” conservatives like Rudy Giuliani going to condemn evil Ron Paul and Alex Jones.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/11/20/172235/81
And when are the other Republicans going to stand up and call out Paul for accepting and not denouncing the open advocacy of his campaign by conspiracy theorists and Neo-Nazis? Are the Republicans so devoid of decency that they will not object to sharing a stage with someone who accepts the support of Neo-Nazis and people who push conspiracy theories about 9-11?
As to this:
Of course the Republicans won’t denounce one of their own for accepting support from extremists. Apparently the rest of the Republican Presidential candidates are afraid of antagonizing those parts of their base that support Ron Paul, and apparently the Republican base now includes conspiracy theorists and Neo-Nazis.
It’s getting hard not to root for the Republicans against this kind of “liberal”.
Why is Chris Matthews trying to revive Fitzmass?
This thread reminded me of the wonderful work
Edwards did on behalf of men when he sued
The AtHome Chrome Plating Condom Company…
or when he faked out a jury that he was channeling a fetus in utero?
Quite the special guy…
Strange anti-Ron Paul diary from DickHead in Michigan, that makes bizarre guilt-by-association smears both against Paul and pollster John Zogby: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/11/20/172235/81
He’s really getting his ass handed to him in the comments.
I still don’t see why Daily Kos’s Democratic Party operatives are so scared of Paul’s candidacy. Somebody (I think it was on this blog) suggested a while back that it’s not so much that they’re afraid that he’s actually going to win, but that his candidacy illustrates the increasing irrelevancy of the liberal blogosphere–one of the most significant symptoms thereof being that Paul’s online supporters raised more in one day than the liberal blogosphere has raised in its entire history.
91. marisacat – 20 November 2007 – strikes in France spread (but little reported in the USA! USA!, that I have caught)
All I keep hearing on the news, MSM, NPR etc, is that polls/”average French citizens” are “fed up” with the strikers.
LOL DHinMI has to beat back the hordes who oppose the war, be it in support of Kuc or in support of RP or whomever. Or, earlier in support of Dean.
he is a faithful Dem party, Catholic shit division, dog at the front gates.
AND it serves long term US interests to have OBL “out there”.
Big Bro needs Goldstein.
Clinton’s new line:
With all respect, living in a foreign country from age 6 to 10 is not Foreign POlicy experience.
Then NBC Evening News cut to a clip of Vilsack (who so knows FP, right?) claiming she ws the “face of FP in the Clinton administration”.
Oh whatever else may come, the Republicans are licking their chops over that one. And all versions of it.
By the Allfather, you people are hard to catch up on (sorry, saw Beowulf over the weekend)!
But you still need GOOD evidence. While I don’t find it hard to believe that a drug addict would shoot his mother for her social security money, I don’t want him going to jail without a trial.
I’m a believer in the idea that the public conversation should be a crucible, and that EVERYTHING should be subjected to heat and tong. So much truth exists even in the outlandish, and solutions are missed because questions aren’t considered. Hell, there is more truth in a Philip K. Dick book than the NY Times manages in most MONTHS.
Our Republic died because debate was so narrowed as to become not equal to the word “debate”, but rather agreed upon dialogue between actors not really invested in their roles.
It’s all a big catfight between competing Royal Houses. Makes the British Royals back in the day look civilized, and slights are continued and fought over for decades.
A big part of the problem for right-wing money with JFK is the same problem right-wing money had with Bubba: he was from the “right” people and he hadn’t paid his dues. He’d jumped the line, not paid proper fealty. You know, like Obama has to the Daley machine.
I frankly don’t know whether elements of our gov’t/CIA/Mob etc killed him, and frankly I don’t care. Hell, his death seemed to have opened RFK’s eyes, and I find his murder to be far more troubling, far more tragic and far more likely to have been an inside job.
None of it matters, though. The Republic, feeble creature that it was, is dead, and buried, and unlikely to come back.
Have you ever known right-wing nuts to behave sensibly?
This country went insane after WW2 re: the Commies, and it’s warped us ever since. Hell, Bircher conspiracy theories now drive public policy. We went nuts, driven insane by fear of commies and fear of melanin-rich skin.
Suckers born every minute:
Are the Dems drawing a Line in the sand over Iraq funding?
RFLMAO!
oh i heard Murtha and Obey … LOL. It was a scream!
Murtha was practically squeaking: Why would you believe the Pentagon?
I dunno, why did you all?
huh?
LA Free Press interviews Dennis the K:
LOL … Murtha believes the CHECKS.
Oh, really fuck him and Obey. If they were serious, they’d vote for impeachment.
Just to throw some chum to the crowd: Noam Chomsky on U.S. policy towards Iran
Support the Troops
Why I hate Xtianity, part umpteen million and fifty three.
too much binary thinking going on here. one can kick the corporate pirates that have plundered russia like vultures picking a carcass and still bear witness to the fact that communism as practiced in the soviet union crushed a fuckton of lives for no damn good reason, workers doubly so. ask the russians, they kick ’em all. has nothing to do with communism or the left, it has to do with the internal logic of a state that does not have a healthy respect for (or fear of) its citizens.
as for gunning down both JFK and RFK, it seems simple enough to me. what better way to keep the hawks in line than gunning one or two down for insufficient batshitcraziness?
anyone who thinks that the deep government isn’t above popping a cap in a couple of its own to further the discussion in the right direction hasn’t studied enough of the way this country (or any other for that matter) has acted abroad. same MO.
it isn’t CT, it’s just what people with power do, whatever their stated legitimizing lip service ideology.
i’m personally pissed off that my potatoes are taking so damn long to sprout. cheney’s gonna have to wait until spring to hit iran, until my taters are producing.
Have you ever known right-wing nuts to behave sensibly?
Reagan.
Unlike our current crop of Democrats he knew when American troops were useless sitting in an Arab country waiting to be shot at, so he pulled the Marines out of Lebanon after the Hezbollah car bombing.
Bob Barr.
He opposed the Patriot Act.
Walter “Freedom Fries” Jones.
He came out forthrightly against the occupation of Iraq when he realized it was useless.
I still don’t see why Daily Kos’s Democratic Party operatives are so scared of Paul’s candidacy.
Especially since a Paul third party run almost guarantees a Democratic victory.
On the other hand, his cross left/right appeal indicates that the left/right paradigm is breaking up and the two pary system is heavily dependent on conservatives believing liberals are pure evil and liberals believing the reverse about conservatives.
my guess is that 3rd party paul ends up hurting dems most. i’ll explain later, gotta go right now.
ToqueDeville is a bad boy. 😉
Miss Laura says so, so it must be true.
And DHinMI does not — NOT, I say — worship Satan.
hmm is the SatanicDHinMI site for real? Lots of veneration there to Anton Lavey.
Hard to tell. Some are accusing TDV of putting it up himself.
my guess is that 3rd party paul ends up hurting dems most. i’ll explain later, gotta go right now.
It’s probaby even simpler than that.
This early presidential race is a sham. Ron Paul fandom is just a way of giving it the finger.
Pro or Semi Pro donk or Republican functionaries see a right wing lunatic attracting more attention than their candidates because, while Paul is a right wing lunatic, at least his lunacy is coherent and expressed in plain English, unlike the other candidates who just mutter gibberish and hope noone notices.
In any event, people want impeachment and an end to the war. The Dems started the race early to say “impeachment’s off the table”. Any candidate who allows them to express some kind of disatisfaction will ge some attention.
And DHinMI does not — NOT, I say — worship Satan.
I find Satan worship and militant atheism as dull as Christianity and Judaism.
I barely think of religion one way or the other, EXCEPT when the opportunity to be obnoxious just makes it too easy.
http://www.pbase.com/srogouski/image/89220717
imo 3rd party RP run is just a retread of ’92 for the Clintons.
I think they want to avoid that. My guess, just a guess, is that their plan is that with higher percentages of women, POC, others they achieve a mandate, the sort that the DP hardly ever manages.
But, in reality, whatever….
Distribute weapons, etc.
Last thing I heard Obama passed Hillary in Iowa.
I wonder if Hillary has pictures of Obama flirting with white women….
ABC/Washpoo poll indicates that. All the news led with it this am.
Obama at 30… think Hillary was 26. Edwards either 3 or 4 pts behind that.
Think it also claimed he was picking up support with women in Iowa.
Not sure polls matter in Iowa in the crunch, but they work for media.
The problem is that it’s Iowa. Hillary’s probably been training her legions of hicks for the past 10 years. She probably has negative campaign ads ready to go. Tom Harkin’s on her side.
Obama could turn into the Howard Dean of 2008…
LOL Janet Hook did a real soft soap piece for Obama int he LAT today… made me laugh.
Think Iowa is going to be bitter for Edwards, unless of course Kuc does some deal with him (have no idea what his numbers are, think Richardson only registered with double digits in the poll)… and others too. But I don’t see that this time. Maybe kuc and whomever do a deal with Obama.
But I would think the Clintons ram it thru for her.
Just a wild guess…
Edwards lost his chance to be President when Cheney kicked his ass in the VP debate. It was all down hill from there.
Edwards did, however, tell us all how great it was that Cheney’s daugher was a lesbian.
ALSO, Edwards was mean to Amanda Marcotte. I can’t forgive that.
Obama stuck up for Donny McLurkin. But Edwards dropped Amanda as soon as the going got rough. So even though he picked a homophobic fucktard to sing in his choir, Obama has the saving grave that he occasionally gets pissed enough at the bullshit not to back down to it.
LOL as if it mattered.
FWIW:
and more fwiw: Oprah will be touring iwth Obama… heard it on the evening local news.
I say they should take McClurkin along too. Round this out.
Wonder who Hillary will pop up with………..
So much conspiracy theory meta it will drive you nuts

Hair Club,
Reagan.
Unlike our current crop of Democrats he knew when American troops were useless sitting in an Arab country waiting to be shot at, so he pulled the Marines out of Lebanon after the Hezbollah car bombing.
What were they doing there in the first place, and why did they take sides in the Lebanese Civil War? I might add the proxy wars he fought in Latin America and Africa killed hundreds of thousands of people. BTW, the Marines didn’t leave Beirut for a number of months after the bombing, and the withdrawal was mostly Cap Weinberger’s doing. The Reagan administration also sent Donald Rumsfeld to make nice with Saddam, enabled his war against Iran by making it possible for him to acquire the means to manufacture chemical weapons, and then did a volte face and started sucking up to the Iranians. Not much sensible behavior on display.
Bob Barr.
He opposed the Patriot Act.
One sensible act in a life devoted to behaving as if he had hydrophobia, or was in the final stages of syphillis. If you were to listen to a year’s worth of Charles Manson’s lunatic rants I’m sure you’d hear at least one sensible, intelligent thought expressed.
Walter “Freedom Fries” Jones.
He came out forthrightly against the occupation of Iraq when he realized it was useless.
So he had Buyer’s Remorse when he realized the horror he’d helped start. It doesn’t negate his prior lunatic behavior. He’s an inconsequential figure anyway.
The MSM continues to behave as if nothing much of interest is going on in France. This is the only story the NY Times is running. It largely regurgitates Sarkozy’s day old spews, and tries mightily to insist that the protest is winding down rather than spreading. As to the notion that the average French citizen is tired of the strike it should be added that this is a work stoppage/protest being undertaken by average French citizens, and more and more of them seem to be joining it every day.
An argument being made by a number of people, such as Who Is IOZ, and also our own MCat is that the Dems are doing nothing about BushCo.’s trashing of Constitutional rights, habeas corpus, etc., is that they themselves want these extraordinary powers to be intact if and when they take power in January 2009. Those who believe this (and I happen to be among them) will find this article by Henry Porter to be of interest:
Well, so much for the hope that Gordon Brown would be an improvement over Tony Blair w/r/t civil liberties.
I see I left out the NYT link in my last comment. Here it is. Nothing worth quoting in it.
Well I don’t want to labor this too much but the original premis was that right wingers killed Kennedy at least partly because right wingers act in an irrational manner.
I don’t really buy it. They act just like Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry, rationally in the interests of their class.
I did read the James Bamford book and some of the actually planned conspiracies by right wingers in the Pentagon were pretty insane though.

is that they themselves want these extraordinary powers to be intact if and when they take power in January 2009.
So obvious it’s common sense. But they want even more (see also Jane Harman).
Hair Club, no. 45,
Now you’re really being childishly tedious. Have a nice holiday weekend, our conversation is ended.
Addendum to my now visible previous post (thanks MCat), here is Chris (banned by DKos) Floyd on the same subject:
Things like this make me happy to see what’s going on in France. Would that the things Floyd et al. describe engendered that sort of reaction here and in the UK.
is that they themselves want these extraordinary powers to be intact if and when they take power in January 2009.
And part of the hysteria in the Donklecrat netroots comes from the fact that they’re trying to psych themselves into feeling OK about using them.
OMG teh Nazis are coming..
hysteria over Ron Paul
They need to believe a resurgent militia movement is coming for Hillary
Don’t worry, he is an Israeli, and thus allowed to speak.
Now you’re really being childishly tedious. Have a nice holiday weekend, our conversation is ended.
OK. I apologize. You shouldn’t tell jokes on the internet. It’s not a good medium for humor. No body language, tone of voice etc.
But re Kennedy and the evil psycho right wingers. I think you’re trying to rescue a bogus good vs. evil, left vs. right division between the Democrats and Republicans.
Kennedy was an imperialist from the ruling class. Why would the right kill a handsome charismatic front man like that?
He could have sold the war in Vietnam in a way Johnson and Nixon (ugly old trolls) could never have.
Very good piece on Pakistan over at Counterpunch:
Also worth reading, a short piece suggesting that if you want to gauge the likelihood of a US attack on Iran, watch what the oil industry does and says.
Ruth Marcus quotes Krugman back to Krugman. On Social Security.
Pity the Dems never planned to fight this one at all. Not really…
More on Pakistan, this from the Asia Times:
a nicely detailed oral swab of the Catholic Church in Italy. A bit of a slog but a lot there…
hmmm if she makes it in, deal or no deal, however it happens, I think Hillary goes Nixonian. SO this from John Ellis was entertaining. IIRC JE is a Bush cousin, tho RCP does not mention that…
MCat,
John Ellis is indeed Dim Son’s first cousin, and he was responsible for getting FOX News to declare DS the winner in 2000, before any of the other networks, as I recall. He held a high-level position at FOX News back then.
Just read the Ellis piece, which is pretty good advice. Of course, Nixon had a hell of a lot of help from circumstances over which neither he nor anyone else had any control. And those not entirely unscripted “Man In The Arena” meetings he talks about, while effective at first, became soporific, then decidedly sour. He had a huge lead over Humphrey in early October, then went into freefall. Those MITA events (which were 30 minute TV shows that aired on the major networks, I watched most if not all of the ones that ran during the Fall campaign) became gradually more tepid, and Nixon looked increasingly wooden and uncomfortable.
The media started to focus on how they were put together so as to offer little if any skeptical questioning of the candidate. The format was that Nixon would stand on the floor of a television studio, with an audience of local GOPeratives cheering him, and take questions from a panel consisting of two or three average Joes/Janes, and one media figure. An early show done in Philadelphia featured a writer/radio personality named Jack McKinney who gave Nixon a very rough time indeed, and subsequent shows had panels that were stacked with people unlikely to make Mad Dick feel uncomfortable. On one occasion, a scheduled panelist had to be replaced because it was discovered that he was a psychiatrist. When a show was done in NYC towards the end of the campaign, the media representative was some reactionary dumbbell from the Daily News (one Gene Spagnola, as I recall). The dialogue that resulted was so stupifyingly dull that a few audience members (including Gov. Nelson Rockefeller) nodded off.
Joe McGinniss detailed all of that in his interesting, if cursory, Selling of the President.
Thanks for that link about the Catholic Church marisa. That was an eyefull.
Ian Smith is dead at the age of 88:
White rule that would endure for 1,000 years. Gee, that doesn’t remind me of anything said by any other racist leaders.
I have never understood how he was able to hold on for as long as he did, it always seemed to me that if the British really wanted to get rid of him and turn the colony over to the majority of its inhabitants, they could have done it without too much trouble.
Above, I posted links to pieces talking about the British government’s mania for collecting data on its citizens, and how the British public is not sufficiently angry about it. That may change thanks to this extraorindary incident:
it certainly puts britain’s horror at mugabe’s thuggery in a different light.
I have never understood how he was able to hold on for as long as he did,
I would *guess* that the right wing pushback and terrorism a few years before in France in response to DeGualle’s scared them off.

Isn’t Scott McClellan’s excerpt a huge bombshell?
As fer Paul, smart as he be, I don’t understand why any progressive would get behind him. Do you think he’s going to improve social infrastructure in America? Paul supporters seem fairly blind to his fiscal policies (or approving), which to paraphrase THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE will make martial law look like anarchy.
Kucinich is the man.

Another great day on Wall Street!
As of 3:30 PM EST, it’s down over 140 points on the day. I believe it’s lost between 1,300 to 1,400 points over the course of the last 6 or 7 weeks, despite all the injections of cash and lower of Fed interest rates.
Make that a loss for the day of 211 points. Once again, the last 30 minutes sees a very bad day get significantly worse.
The DOW is now under 12,800 (just barely) for the first time in a very long time.
here is an AP story on the close today…….
IIRC Friday is a half day of trading… They can only shore it up so much….

Maybe it does not matter, maybe nobody cares but Jan 3 in Iowa and Jan 8 in NH means frantic TV campaigning thru Xmas, pols willing to pay top dollar will bump merchant/product ads (not that that matters)… and only 4 days between them. gah.
So… shall Hillary Obama and Edwards be campaigning in Santa suits?
Probably.
oh dear… however it came about this plays into Sarko’s greedy nasty little hands:
the article had a lot of US media style hand wring and defense of “public opinion” polls and so on. I even thought Spiegel had picked up a NYT article, as they sometimes do, but no, not…

At the risk of providing even more fodder for the true believers at IOZ’s space, I don’t think any form of government will create de facto respect between governing bodies and those they govern. Of course, I don’t think that removing all government is likely to create it either.

here is where donktitzshitz lost it. Quite the reveal. But not surprising.
Sounds like his usual. I must be missing something. Is this exchange proof that he’s some legendary Kozzie or another ? I don’t have the background to tell.
sorry. It (his comment) was linked as well in the comment in the previous thread. The accompanying comments between myself, bay and moiv were to his exposure of pent up hatred.
At least as I see it. Maybe that sort of thing is fine with people, again who knows.
Not “fine with.” Certainly typical of a lot of spaces. Especially the bit where they crumble and feign humility and kindness the minute you call them on their shit. But then they just pick up with the same verbal abuse game the next time out. It makes you wonder how much of this crap they pull on people IRL as well.
I’ve seen more extreme cases, sadly. Some of them not even male.
67–hilarious–the US should be sending its “top diplomat”—who the fuck could that be?
Angelina Jolie? Or maybe Bill-Oh?
I don’t think any form of government will create de facto respect between governing bodies and those they govern.
It’s the codification of shared antipathy that made this Constitutional system possible. I’m convinced that one of the reasons we’re in such trouble is the bullshit “bi-partisanship” that has been increasingly demanded by the duopoly mis-ruling this nation.
A representative Democracy only works when every group competes with and despises every other group, yet EVERYBODY gets a chance at the podium to spew vitriol. Take that away, and bad shit happens.
Oh, and in response to Mcat’s call that I do another long form call-out of Amanda. Sincerely flattered, but I fail to see the point. Sure, it would be fun, but more fun than collaging ?– on which I’m sincerely falling behind as of late– No chance. Nobody outside our little corner of paradise will pick up on it anyway. The DP owns the feminist blogosphere and the feminist blogosphere owns the very concept of feminism nowadays. [snerk] Remember if you’re agin’ the DP, you’re agin’ saving them 3rd world sisters and their helpless babies. Ho hum. Hence I am left with Ampersand hemming and hawing at me that sure he’d like to address the issues I brought up but I’m just sooooooooooo meeeeeeean to the oh-so-important and put-upon Ms. Marcotte and so he can’t. Etc.
Fuck it. Those who care to know the truth about these women and their bullshit already know. The rest are beyond my reach, I suspect. It’ll take a much better and more prolific writer, and one not subject to vanishing from the net for months at a time whenever it all gets too damn depressing to deal with.
Thanks for the Soul Vaccination … it helped clear up some of the blackness on this tired soul.

I passed a fish mart in town today, and they were advertising “Fresh Local Crab.” right. No need to add oil to that recipe.
that was a lovely remembrance of Chris Clarke’s dog. I don’t read him enough to have known about the dog…
hmm well the news has said the big Oregon boats went way out to get the crab then brought it in south of the oil, to MOnterey.
However, now there is at least one local crabber going out.
And, neatly, the testing on the crabs will not be back til Nov 28.
It all works out, just not well
The long series of posts when his dog was preparing to move on was heartbreaking, and I say that as a non-animal person. I suppose there is something broken in me that I can’t form connections like that.
The new one about Thanksgiving is beautiful, too, but I have a particular soft spot for Chris’ poems.
and had enlisted in the Army at age 17, while still a senior. That was 1999.

I’ve seen more extreme cases, sadly. Some of them not even male.

Bush is evil. And as a standin you get a cardboard cutout cartoon villain like Laura Ingraham. You get everybody psyched up to take on the right and get rid of Bush. But by this point, Bush is besides the point.
Although Laura Ingraham just seems nuts at this point.
She almost makes O’Reilly look like Brian Lehrer.
Oh, agreed, but what to do?
Really, we’re just fucked. People like Bush and his surrogates in teh MSM, like Laura, they rule the day. Can’t bring myself to criticize folks like Taylor who try to beard the lion in its den, though.
I think the Republic is dead, and we’re done, but I have to admire the folks who produce theater to demonstrate it.
Sarko v le greviculture in The Guardian….
Oh, agreed, but what to do?
I keep thinking of “Into the Wild”.
Just live your life according to what you consider your own ideal, even if you have to die for it.
(Sean Penn of course is a huge supporter of WCW)
Can’t bring myself to criticize folks like Taylor who try to beard the lion in its den, though.
She’s an RCP member, probably their most active organizer now (you’ll never see Bob Avakian if you hang around with them for 100,000 years).

But the best stuff she writes is more standard issue left liberal feminism. I don’t see that much difference between her and Amanda Marcotte or Jessica Valenti (other than not supporting the Democrats). But if Bush is the most pure representive of fascism in the USA and the political goal it to get rid of him. then there is no difference between Sunsara’s marxist group and Moveon.
Trotskyists attack them all the time (and this won’t make sense unless you’re in a high density “left” area full of Marxist parties). I used to think they were full of shit but now I’m beginning to think they have a point.
Although that whole “don’t you think decent anti-war people should denounce this” would probably fluster Amanda Marcotte in a way it wouldn’t fluster Sunsara (since Amanda really does want to maintain her viability in the Democratic Party).
But I don’t think they’d have Amanda Marcotte on Fox. They’d probably have Lindsey Beyerstein or Jessica Valenti or someone more easily coopted because she’d be thinking of her future viability in the MSM.
This whole French thing is just running by me in the very distant corner of my eye and I’m barely noticing it.
oh, thanks for that MCat. This sums it up pretty well, I think:
When will workers learn that the bosses are the enemy. Gnaw on your resentments of others in time, but skin the bosses first.
When will workers learn that the bosses are the enemy.
When they learn to identify exactly who the bosses are. It’s not like the 19th Century where you were a dirty faced prole starving in the coal mining town and the owner was walking around in a top hat.
There are so many layers of distraction that it’s hard to figure out who’s got power over you.
I don’t see that much difference between her and Amanda Marcotte or Jessica Valenti (other than not supporting the Democrats)
You’re kidding, right?
Seriously, I’m utterly confused about what it is that you would respect. Sniper rifles picking off elected officials? American-style Bolsheviks on scooters mowing down cops with Mossberg shotguns? What does it take?
I mean, I thought I was a cynical bastard, but you have me beat by a mile. What would be “authentic” to you? Are you just a photo-pimp, angling for a good image?
I’ve read your rantings here for weeks … no, MONTHS now, and I don’t know what the fuck you expect, what you would respect. Are you an uber-leftist waiting for proletarian mobs in the street? Are you an anarchist hoping for burning barricades of tires? Are you a mercenary, a vulture hoping for a good image to sell?
Seriously, Hair, what is your deal?
There are so many layers of distraction that it’s hard to figure out who’s got power over you.
read a good article at Counterpunch on that earlier today. The fellow who has been writing on WGA strike and union issues. He had an article up on the ‘special assignment’ scam to divide union members (and before anyone gets all hot and bothered I am nto some big union supporter, certainly not as they are configured).
I am sure anyone who cares can find it and I can not bother.
Are you an uber-leftist waiting for proletarian mobs in the street?
I think I want to tune out and just forget about politics altogether.
I was heavily involved with WCW until late 2006. I wrote a good deal of their content for the website. I spent a lot of time working on their press time, dealing with the media, etc.
Nothing happened. Their first marches were fairly big for what they were and fairly spirited. Then they just got smaller and smaller and smaller and the people at their core (like Sunsara and some of the “Appeal for Redress” people who joined them later) just kept doing the same thing.
We’re heading towards fascism but the response is always “let people know there’s torture going on and have permitted marches”.
They never stop and say “hey this isn’t working”. Nobody in the anti-war movement does. It’s like UFPJ with more radical signs and orange jumpsuits. It doesn’t work.
I don’t know what to do but what I do know is that so much of this is staged bullshit. The people doing it aren’t consciously doing it but that’s the way it works out.
I was apolitical before 9/11. I got radicalized by it. I feel used and manipulated. I want to go back to being apolitical again.
I was apolitical before 9/11. I got radicalized by it. I feel used and manipulated. I want to go back to being apolitical again.
Yet you criticize people who try. Maybe it won’t work, but at least they’re TRYING. I’m pretty radicalized myself. I think we’re done. People who used to enjoy arguing w/ me about politics are puzzled by my refusal to argue w/ them any more … they’ve won, after all. I’m involved w/ politics now like an accident junkie is “involved” with accident reports. I’m a creature out of a J. G. Ballard story.
Yet given all of that, I have to respect people who fucking try, especially in a culture as brutal toward dissenters as this one is. Criticize the people who contribute to the problem.
Seriously, is it just that it is strong women that you have a problem with?
I noticed you said the other night how tired you are.
Why not take a break?
And if it suits, go back to being apolitical. One less? Who cares? Right?
A mere 6 years, and after all as I have long said, Bush is MERELY outcome, and you are tired.
Yes, take a break.
welllllllllllllllll
nto sure that wound up party twit Marcotte can be said to be strong, nor Jessica, who is so fundamentally ignorant it is stunning.
They mostly write about sex, and in very, profoundly, one dimensional terms.
of course, wanting to be “apolitical” is so very ‘Merican, and the source of so many problems. The only people who can safely be “apolitical” are vassals of the owners and slaves. Life IS politics, and always have been. The owners know this, but sadly nobody else wants to face it. Life is a class war, and it never ends.
Seriously, is it just that it is strong women that you have a problem with?
Well, maybe I should go back into psychoanalysis and work on my mother issues but that would be
apolitical” so very ‘Merican, and the source of so many problems
If life really is all about politics and classes of people and if being apolitical makes you a slave than I’m not really horribly different from any other vaguely radical 30ish male and that goes for my attitudes towards women, race, homosexuality, whatever. I’m ordinary, probably a lot like you.
So what’s the deal then with all of us Merken white males who hate women?
Do we suck it up and vote Democrat? Or just continue to waive signs and chant Hey Hey Ho Ho Bush has got to go.
FWIW, my mother thinks I hate Hillary because I have problems with strong women. She’s a big fan…..
so what’s the deal then with all of us Merken white males who hate women?
Maybe just expend a little more energy toward the oppressors and a little less toward the people who protest.
Those who study the history of protest in France understand revolution to be a repetitive structure that paradoxically the sustains the structure it attempts to dismantle. Perhaps this explains your enervation.
A metahistorical perspective has its benefits.
Maybe just expend a little more energy toward the oppressors and a little less toward the people who protest.
I didn’t know I spent that much energy towards “people who protest” and no energy at all towards “the oppressors”.
In fact, I don’t remember having bashed anti-war protesters at all, just expressed frustration that what they’ve been doing since the Fall of 2002 doesn’t seem to be working or moving forward.
Or is it? It did help get the Democrats Congress in 2006.
But whatever. I’ll have plenty of time to resent “strong women” with Hillary in the White House and “us” still in Iraq. Have a good Thanksgiving.
oh, wonderfully disengenuous … you spent all of your vitriol on Taylor, none on the faux chippie, and …
… hell, why am I bothering? jjb had the right response to your thrashing and scorn.
the word for today is traumatized.
in order to regain peace of mind, or a sense of wellbeing, even if only for a moment, one has to find some mechanism to cope. anything that works is fine.
have a good day today. if only for a moment.
oh, wonderfully disengenuous … you spent all of your vitriol on Taylor, none on the faux chippie, and …
Well, I guess I just made the mistake of assuming we were all on the same page about Laura Ingraham and I didn’t really *need* to go into a ritual denunciation of Fox News before proceeding.
I guess I guessed wrong.
hell, why am I bothering? jjb had the right response to your thrashing and scorn.
“Thrashing and scorn”
Something about the internet just loves words like this, words designed to belittle, infantalize, and frame the debate in psychoanalytic terms.
“Thrashing”
As if any expression of disillusionment or doubt or scepticism or unwillingness to be herded into the required attitude (Fox News Bad Anti-War Protesters Good Go Team) means you need to be fitted with a straight jacket.
I don’t think I’ll personalize this. You and “jjb” are obviously free to ignore anybody you want to on the internet, including me for whatever reason. But I will note the machinelike, dehumanizing way in which you frame your disagreement.
Do we suck it up and vote Democrat? Or just continue to waive signs and chant Hey Hey Ho Ho Bush has got to go.
well….
no one can say the theme here is lie down and vote for the party. Nor is it stand on the crutches and vote for the party.
And one thing to realise, this is outcome. And what delivered it came in cycles. Bush just understood how far he and h is backers could push the country. Frankly it is working. What a shame. Part of the Dem party sell job is that the conservatives or the Republicans or the wingers or or or is in collapse.
Hillary presents herself as the latest slayer of Republicans. Gee, please.
Sad to see blacks, working class, high school education only fall for it. Sad to see college educated fall for Obama. He is so empty. I think Michelle breathes air into him everyday… Fewer fall for Edwards. hard slog when you washed out in the preparatory Veepdom races..
Pathetic. People are TERRIFIED to face that there is no choice.
It will take food riots.
I guess I just made the mistake of assuming we were all on the same page about Laura Ingraham and I didn’t really *need* to go into a ritual denunciation of Fox News before proceeding.
I guess I guessed wrong.
OH stop with the bullshit. No one here buys Fox News NOR Laura Ingraham.
I am sorry to be rude but did yo think 6 years of what ever it is you did would MAKE A CHANGE?
Because that is what I hear. I wrote for RCP paper, I did hteir media, I marched,
and now i hear a sort of whine. And a cry to go back to being apolitical.
honestly did you think it would make a difference? One that you coule uh tabulate?
see, that’s what I mean. You don’t give a reason for your … dismissal.
I’m not saying that protesters = good, faux news = bad, but what I am pointing out is that you direct all of your energy at resistance, no matter how effective/in-effective.
I’m asking questions of you, trying to drag out what exactly it is that you are pursuing. I will admit to paranoia … so many months of Meteor and etc. will make a leftist polemicist paranoid … but I really have to ask: what are you after?
Your photos are very well-framed, well composed. I’m just asking what you expect … some kind of perfect Gandhi-ism?
brush off my questions as “machinelike” if you wish, but the questions remain, and I don’t think they are unreasonable.
No one here buys Fox News NOR Laura Ingraham.
Then why waste time expending any energy on this particular oppresser and not just go straight into wondering what good appearing on Fox News does at all?
It strikes me that the protest movement is just as firmly entrenched into the professional wrestling culture of politics as the progressive Democrats are.
Good vs. Evil. We’re put and their toxic. Stand behind the police barricades, hold up signs and chant about Bush, Cheney and Alberto Gonzalez.
It’s stage managed enterainment and we’re all unwitting actors.
but I really have to ask: what are you after?
This is what I thought last year.
http://www.countercurrents.org/us-ragouski120706.htm
I think I saw through Ned Lamont before anybody (which would have earned me the scorn of most people at the Daily Kos). Why bash a good man like Ned Lamont and waste your energy on people who try.
What if people would have reacted to Ned Lamont with “thrashing and scorn”. How much time would everybody have saved?
But I notice that I was also totally unboard with the “left’ protest agenda. I believed it would work.
But now it seems ritualistic and formulaic. Empty.
Look I don’t even bother to think about Fox. I catch a little of it from time to time. Why would I waste my time agitating for Democrats not to go on it?
Obama made big waves that he would not go on Fox, the stupid blogs played it up, loved it… but as they don’t obther to drop in they did not catch all sorts of his senior advisors and staff on Fox chatting his campaign up.
You ahve caught on that the Dems really only want cross over voters? They are so assured of their tired base, voting as let me be blunt, dumb animals for the party.
Fox is moot. As frankly are thier Blonde Amazon Operatives, the Laura Ingrahms and the Barbara Constocks.
They are up and operating. None of that is going away.
why is Ned Lamont “a good man”?
He supported Lieberman for years, then thought he could retire to the senate (the wife is the big earner) and the timing was good.
One more three legged dog.
Until your shot.
basically you sound PEEVED.
It’s not inspiring, LOL.
Why don’t you send care packages to those who are serving 6 months in Federal prison for their protests?
brush off my questions as “machinelike” if you wish, but the questions remain, and I don’t think they are unreasonable
Am I cynical about the protest movement because I hate “strong women”? Uh, no. I have nothing against Leslie Cagan or Sunsara Taylor or Cindy Sheehan or Medea Benjamin. In fact, I barely notice gender (consciously anyway). In fact, I wish Cindy Sheehan were “stronger”. I wish she were more serious about taking on Pelosi and mounting a serious campaign.
but I really have to ask: what are you after?
In 2001, I just wanted to keep my job after 19 Arab terrorists blew up half of Lower Manhattan and knocked out the infrastructure on my block. In 2004, I just wanted John Kerry to win. In 2005, I wanted people to get a clue about the Democrats and join the anti-war movement. In 2006, I wanted the Democrats to take Congress and impeach Bush. In 2007, who knows anymore? I want to get through Thanksgiving without getting into a fight with my brother.
some kind of perfect Gandhi-ism?
It strikes me that today they’d just tase Gandhi bro….
brush off my questions as “machinelike”
It was more the abuse I was brushing off.
so many months of Meteor and etc
After reading Peter Mathiessen I’m more sceptical of that character than ever before.
why is Ned Lamont “a good man”?
Didn’t say he was. That’s why I posted that article. I detested him in 2006. “Ned Lamont is a good man” is something a Kosnik would say.
Why don’t you send care packages to those who are serving 6 months in Federal prison for their protests?
That’s a good thing. Paying for legal fees is a good thing.
But maybe it’s the fact that these anti-war protests have nothing to do with the facts of peoples everyday lives. They’re more acts of will or acts of “moral resistence”.
That’s why groups like WCW try so hard to recruit students. Students have time. They can drop out of school and rebel for a few months before going back.
But that model’s not going to work with the rest of us.
Oh I am sorry to be blunt, but you are just barely catching up… and you have the temerity to have a meltdown HERE?
That’s fine… my thesis is that “everyone comes to the table”, but you need to face something… you are catching up.
Go off and weep for what America IS. it seems you need to do that.
well I just had a mini Monarch and her West Coast court out here, saying she’d “do soemthing” about the Oil SPill.
Boxer sends LOL emails. Gavin snorts, here or in Hawai’i.
None of thsoe people achieve anything for us.
It ALSO does not matter that the protests don’t have much to do with peoples’ lives. MOST people don’t participate, in anything.
whatever.
I’m nothing special, but I was asking these questions before 911, and asking pointed questions about THE PARTY going into 04.
Again, I’m no leader. I have no insight, but you seem to be angry w/ people who protested before you got a fucking clue, and you seem to be angry with people who didn’t stop the meltdown before it got your attention.
Pissed that you’re not cashing in snapping faux protest?
Again, what is your beef, and why are you so angry at people who protest, no matter how imperfectly?
LOL Karl Rove is on with Charlie Rose. And Rose is actually yelling at some points.
What a hoot!
yeah. but then its over.
and if you lived long enough and its just you, and not someone you love, thats not so bad.
besides, the joke’s really on the baptists. there is no evermore.
Again, I’m no leader. I have no insight, but you seem to be angry w/ people who protested before you got a fucking clue
So Cindy Sheehan supported the war in Iraq right through 2003 and into 2004. So by your standards she should shut up and listen to old hands you like because you were protesting before she got a clue.
I’m not comparing myself to Cindy Sheehan. My son didn’t die in Iraq. But I was in lower Manhattan about 300 yards away from both towers when they went down and it was a pretty traumatic awakening. I’m not sure why a personal exprerience that smacks you over the head is any less valauble than having done something for awhile.
Pissed that you’re not cashing in snapping faux protest?
I started talking photos after 9/11 as a sort of therapy but not of people, of buildings. I was angry that I had nothing of lower Manhattan before it was turned into an inferno, nothing of the years I spent in Southeast Alaska and British Columbia. At one point during the anthrax attacks, I felt as if the whole world was about to fall apart and taking photos helped me feel a sense of permanance.
I started taking photos of protests in early 2003 when I went to the February 15th protest and thought it was going to be historic. I wasn’t very good at it but it intrigued me so I kept doing it. There was nothing really mercenary about it. In fact, I don’t even like taking these kinds of photos anymore. I always feel as if I’m doing surveillance or if I’m going to be turned into Josh Wolf when the cops demand originals. But I usually *get asked* by the organizers of one protest or another. And I’ve gotten photographs published in I don’t know how many books, pamplets calanders, newspapers, and haven’t made, or asked for a dime. So you’re way off here.
Again, what is your beef, and why are you so angry at people who protest, no matter how imperfectly?
Well I don’t know if I’m angry or not but since you use the word twice and twice more in different variations, I’ll take your word for it.
Maybe it’s like watching your team lose and knowing they could do better. That’s the best I can do now.
well you seem very shocked by things that are not very surprising to people who were politically aware longer.
As i have said about hte Jersey girls, sorry their husbands died that way, but they voted for Bush and their believed in their corporate lives.
I am unsure that CS supported the war, she did not want her son to go, did not want him to sign up even…
And again, you seem peeved that all that you did did not result – again – in things you can tabulate.
I don’t think it works that way. For one thing, the hard right is not going away in America. It never has.
LOL I just heard Rove indicate that the full story of WHY the IWR was voted on in October 02 — will be in his book (what else is new). He let it hang in the air that the administration was “rushed to war”… and that the Dems wanted that vote prior to the election.
Oh if only they would go for the big arteries… let the blood run. But they need each other. There will be no murder suicide, not of two corrupt parties.
As i have said about hte Jersey girls, sorry their husbands died that way, but they voted for Bush and their believed in their corporate lives.
I grew up with people like this. Most of my family is like this.
All of the signals from the moment you go to pre-school until you retire tell you you should be apolitical if possible, middle of the road if you can’t avoid thinking about politics. Not arguing about politics or religion is a sign of maturity. You know that some people have it worse off than you so you give money to charity and vote for politicians who seem earnestly dedicated to finding a “solution”. I grew up with Tom Kean as governer and Bill Bradly as Senator. Not much difference between both parties.
I got involved in student activism when I was in college because I was a bit of a misfit and it helped me come to terms with that. I actually went to El Salvador when I was 18. I actually met one of the Jesuits who was murdered in 1989, a few weeks before he was killed. Maybe that should have woken me up but it didn’t. I didn’t feel as if I understood what happened or if I had any business trying to. I wanted to be “normal”.
So my suburban upbringing kicked in and I spent the 90s trying to be “normal”, apoltical, going to therapy, trying to “fit in”. The more “political” I was, the more I felt as if it were only something personal, like I hated women or I was “angry” or any one of the things MITM is giong to accuse me of.
When 9/11 hit, I just wanted to stay “moderate” and apolitical. I got mad at people who were trying to push me into hating Muslims. Why are they bothering me?
But what happens when the entire awesomely powerful US government and media is trying to push you into something. I remembered looking at a TV in my building a few blocks south of Ground Zero with the cops not letting us out and Tom Brocaw saying over and over again “we are at war. We are at war”.
Nobody wants to be at war. Why would you want to if you’re a nice Republican woman in Middletown?
But then again, none of the “Jersey Girls” responded by blaming Muslims or calling for more people to die. They just wanted the government to work. That’s how normal people respond.
And now most are just shutting things out.
As I said up thread, people are shutting out and shutting down as they are terrified of facing that there is no choice.
It will take food riots. Starvation.
I am very sorry for the Jersey Girls, but not knowing about the two houses of Congress and still voting for the president is a nation at great risk. And millions are like them. None of that will be changing soon, I don’t think.
Who knows, maybe 2012 is interesting. Could happen I suppose…
And then they were snookered by the Kerry camp, Mary Beth cahill assured them their issues would be addressed on the stump… LOL – after they HAD indeed fought the good fight for the 9/11 Commission. Would that it had mattered at all.
ONLY impeachment can make anything that has happened matter.
Here is what I thought that Tuesday when the planes hit:
thank god it is here, it is finally here. I don’t have to wait anymore.
And I was really glad my h ouseguest was out of the state, I did not have to be bothered listening to ‘shock and awe’, at the start of all that would come.
I feel for people who woke up then… I do.
One last thing before I go… a sad tale of woe, The Last Days of Mexican Corn – with an Iraq story tucked inside:
so “mismanaged”. Right.
Vote for Hillary, she’s for change. I see creeping exhortations to vote Democratic, Vote for HIllary and lie down and accept your fate all over the netteries. Or, at the very least, learn to discuss things with conservatives. Always a good Trojan Horse.
every time i think i’ve heard all the evil shit done to the iraqis, one of these stories comes by and raises the bar.

Be sure you add the standard tags for (0 / 0)
election related diaries (I added them here), to your past diaries if they are not there and to any future election related diaries.
Standard tags for election related diaries are:
“2008 elections”
Then the office as a separate tag: “President” or “House” or “Senate” or “Governor”
Next, for state races add the appropriate tags like: “TX-Sen”, “OH-10”, “MN-Gov” or “statename elections” (ex: “New York elections” for races like state legislators)
With state elections, add the name of the state spelled out – no abbreviations.
First and Last names of candidates discussed in the diary, entered as a single tag; Ex: “Hillary Clinton”
When discussing debates add: The name of the state the debate is in and the tag, “debate”
Add “Democrats” and/or “Republicans” as appropriate
During primary season add: “primaries”
Other common tags include “campaign ads,” “fundraising” and “endorsements”

Joel Gray was awesome in that. Marcotte is so very not worthy.
Here’s a hilarious Kos rant located a few inches below that flapping Chevron flag. Then Kos gets to call Kucinich a nut. He’s become such a nice little go-to-whore for the MSM. Visions of another home far from the plebes no doubt:
The energy industry’s single biggest accomplish was to turn the battle for energy independence and global warming into a partisan issue. Ultimately, the best chance at securing our nation’s security is to become energy self-sufficient, and to do that will require an investment in fuel efficient technologies and alternate fuels.
