I think that "to die for" is from a Yiddish expression. Weird when you think about it~ a verb sandwiched between two prepositions. "To die" may form a gerund but if a preposition were supposed to follow a verb it would be called a 'postposition'. I wonder what brand of ten-gallon hat the Gipper favored? Might be a joke there~ I'll get back to you if I think of it...

In response to: Chapter 74-An Ethnic Face
Whoa this was a hot chapter! I went to art school in Brooklyn and for us young underground cartoonists, Russian-Jewish women were the sine qua non of hotness. Despite my goyishe punim most folks thought I was one of the Chosen because of the whole Susan Sontag thing... In the NEW YORKER finally in '03 Ms.Sontag revealed that her real name was Rosenblatt! Entering publishing in '57 at the prodigious age of 17 she thought people would laugh at a certain boborygmous onomatopoeia... her dad had left home when she was 11 and a Mr.Sontag was one of her mom's boyfriends. She thought it was a really kool name and nom-de-plumed it. It is a really kool name(from Reykjavik to Vienna) unfortunately Mr.Sontag's parents had gotten one of the 'n''s clipped off at Ellis Island, leading to certain difficulties for me as a Scots-Irish hillbilly with a Hessian-mercenary name breaking into the Manhattan illustration scene. Oh well. Got to meet Ms.S a coupla times and she was quite a beauty with that stylish skunk-streak in her brunette mane...

The rest of Mainstream Media had started to cave in the last days of August '02. For the next week into September you see the newly-minted phrase 'Were Kicked Out' popping up everywhere. NPR resisted to some degree, at least correcting NeoCon guests who used those Three Little Words. Until March 6th. Then Scott and Bob's heads became Embedded ...

The Invasion was Thursday March 20 2003. Count back 2 weeks to the Friday I'm discussing, March 6th. That's when these ears heard Scott and Bob commit the war crime all morning. NPR'd been doing pretty well keeping things straight 'til that moment. Then it caved. Repeating the Roveism all morning that the UNSCOMers 'Were Kicked Out' 4 years earlier, an untruth, GAVE NPR's IMPRIMATUR to Bush to Bring It On. The coverage became gung-ho from then on. That is how NPR was complicit.

possee: 'privileged'. 'verbiage'. And the 'without the expense of a degree' really cuts to the chase. http://www.observer.com/2008/politics/vacuum-goes-manhattan-institute Fascinating quote from neocon David Frum, author of now-discredited Dubya hagiography THE RIGHT MAN... “Today’s Republican Party, we’re the party of non-poor white people without a college degree,” he said. “That is not a growing demographic. We have to make a really fateful strategic decision.” Hispanics and blacks probably weren’t coming back because of the party’s immigration policies and positions on spending, he said, so “the alternative is that we are going to college-educated voters.” That dawg ain't gonna hunt, bubba.

http://www.amazon.com/Eunuchs-Kingdom-Heaven-Sexuality-Catholic/dp/0140165002 bitter, we've discussed this before and its summed up well in Ute Ranke-Heineman's book. The skirts and celibacy of Catholic priests comes straight out of the need of the Antioch-based early church's need to supplant and coopt the Anatolian Cybele goddess-cult... disempowering women by creating a beyond-sex androgynous bureaucracy to give selected men 'moral superiority' over women... Capuano is playing the usual Roveian game here. Coakley is a vastly more-reliable potential champion of women's repro-rights than 'neighborhood-guy' Capuano.

Pearl Bailey used to sing a song called "I'm Tired". She went to the doctor because she was feeling tired all the time. He said, "Pearlie, you've got to stop singing that song!" If your beliefsystem is making you ill, then you might reconsider investing so much energy in maintaining the airtightness of said beliefsystem. However if your tiredness due to the maintenance of the airtightness of said beliefsystem causes an inability to continue trumpeting the correctness of said beliefsystem, and said beliefsystem is in disaccordance with my airtight beliefsystem then... that's one moment less of concomitent tiredness for Yours Truly.

When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting - sometimes even volunteering - some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further." ...Writing in the Washington Post, Mary McGrory described a statement by Pope John Paul II regarding sexual abuse by priests as a "modified limited hangout".

And their latest investment is in this company called Visible, which basically takes blog posts and takes Twitter updates and takes comments on YouTube videos and sort of sorts them out and decides which people have the most weight in the blogosphere, which people are the most influential, and also filters out, you know, certain key words, decides whether certain posts are hostile or positive. And it’s basically a way for them to sort of keep track on what’s going on in Twitter, on the blogs, etc., etc. JUAN GONZALEZ: And who does this firm normally supply this information to? NOAH SHACHTMAN: Usually to companies like Microsoft. Right now they’re tracking the buzz..." Ahem...

NOAH SHACHTMAN: Well, first they protect their privacy by not tweeting or not blogging. I mean, that’s the way they would have to protect their privacy, or to do it within a closed password-protected system. If you leave it out there, not only is the government going to read it, but Microsoft and Google just signed deals with Twitter and Facebook yesterday, where all the—all your tweets and all your blog updates will be very easily searchable by either Microsoft’s Bing search engine or by Google. AMY GOODMAN: What’s the deal? NOAH SHACHTMAN: The deal is basically that all your Facebook updates will be sort of fed into Microsoft’s new search engine, and people will be able to see what you post on Facebook or Twitter, or what have you. JUAN GONZALEZ: And, of course, for the CIA, given the recent reports of how tweets and other social networking are used around the world to give advance notice on popular insurrections...

Cru thought 'peter' was Peter Robbins, but my detection equipment told me that he's one of the Bloggers, last active in '08...His area of concern seems similar to what maverick says about Problematic Residents and how stuff Used To Be Better. I've just briefly checked his Articles/Postings out, might read more later. Don't know if I'm allowed to 'out' him but I doubt he'd object to it... As to being the BLIC, I'm here because by caring at-home for my dying wife and her dementia-addled dad they could at least spend their last years together. Deciding to do that probably was a 'loser' decision and whether I get my life back together as I push 60 is the big question.

This goes back to the dawn of radio and public ownership of the airwaves. The Internet with its 'bundled packets of information' came out of government-sponsored research for military communications... thus our American tax dollars paid for the development of the Internet(so much for our online friends who claim the government can't do anything right) and so, for beholden-to-no-one multinational megacorps to try to privatize access... is an attack on democracy, if anyone still cares.

So, to answer Kelly's headline question, it 'happened to Obama' because Color For Change moved to defend his honor against Beck, not anticipating the Blowback against cofounder Jones; much like the CIA not anticipating the Blowback of training Osama. Fox/Newscorp/Murdoch has a helluva crack dirtdigging team, but they're hemorrhaging sponsors. Can we extrapolate from this the next reversal of fortune, and who'll be its recipient?

Good question, AP. I'm not in possession of that information.

Where exactly the Blow-Back begins depends on your POV.

I will remind Mr. Kelly that 66.6% of all Supreme Court Justices are now Catholic, plus two Jews and hey, a Protestant. I do have an important Irish Catholic ancestor but as a descendant of John Alden of Duxbury I might well whine that the bloody papists have hijacked my country. Grand Inquisitor Ratzinger is YOUR cross to bear. You omit the vital factoid that JFK was the first Papist President. I blame oil-heir William F."God and Man at Yale"Buckley for even bringing Catholics into the American Conservative conversation. Select your history.

Hi Cru It's been a good thing marrying into a Unitarian family as I did... hearing how it's all about 'being on the right side of history'. Single Payer is in a direct line of Social Justice from the American Revolution, to the Abolition of Slavery, to Female Suffrage. And Massachusetts usually leads the way.

Scalia~ that is the dot-connector I was looking for. Ethnic Outreach was staffed with fellas who'd been East European collaborators with the REAL Nazis. That was less than a quarter-century after the close of WWII and those fellas were merely middleaged back then and looking for work. Lots of Secret Societies with charters from Holy Orders, hellbent on whipping Godless Communism and saving up for a Secure Retirement. Spying was first choice, but Law Enforcement was an attractive alternative. A smart fella could do both!

Reporters at the News of the World and the Sun reportedly hacked into cellphones and accessed confidential personal data, including tax records, social security files, bank statements and itemized phone bills. The list of targeted individuals included politicians, sports stars and entertainers. British officials said 31 journalists working for the tabloid newspapers were involved in the scandal.

HAIR was Forty Years Ago. Kelly's closed mind in his Lost Culture War makes him see a false dichotomy. The American music of the twentieth century is all of a piece... it varies in which root elements of its origins are emphasized in each particular instance but all root elements are always present. There was a big Swing revival in the 90s. termed Acid Jazz by some, that Mr.Kelly evidently missed completely. If he'd gotten his rusty dusty over to the Melody Tent last week he would've seen it ALL brilliantly synthesized.

from Wikipedia:"In 2003, Pioneer partnered with Harvard University's Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston to conduct a two-year long research project on the housing market in Central and Eastern Massachusetts. In 2006, Pioneer and Rappaport released The Initiative on Local Housing Regulation. The initiative is comprised of a first-of-its-kind catalogue of local regulations in 187 communities with 50 miles of Boston. The accompanying analysis of these regulations determined that a broad range of municipal regulations, from minimum lot size requirements to wetlands protection standards, have had a dramatic impact on housing production in the last 15 years. The report demonstrates that local land-use regulations have produced a dramatic decline in new housing permits, thus prevening the market from responding to increases in demand and ultimately increasing prices. The Initiative on Local Housing is a landmark study that confirmed previous speculation and will influence public policy makers for years to come." It's ALL about the speculation. Drain the wetlands and build more houses.

We went to Pratt; I did the whole 4 years, '69-'73. Jay was a year older and had already done a year at Baldwin-Wallace. He was already deeply involved in the 'Satire Fandom' self-publishing movement with his comix/rock fanzine NOPE and other projects so he headed out West after 4 semesters IIRC. He has a CD-Rom detailing his output of that period which he'd be happy to sell you...

Most yoga students, unlike our furry friends, refrain from pooping in The Big Sandbox. They stay in one spot and they're outta there shortly after sunrise. Val should do this for free? Being a good certified instructor involves going back to Kripalu for refresher courses, where Val is right now in preparation for the new season... & that is FAR from cheap. I'm similarly subjected to a steady drumbeat of requests for free artwork for worthy causes, but here in the material plane the Machine Must Be Fed.

Loved it, Richard. I've always had an instinctive loathing of golf. This being Earth Day indeed, you may want to include a factoid about the deletirious effect upon the atmosphere of the constant use of lawnmowers to maintain a plush playing surface for the elite- "A 2001 study showed that such a mower emits the same amount of pollution (emissions other than carbon dioxide) in one hour as driving a 1992 model car for 650 miles (1,050 km).[8] Another estimate puts the amount of pollution from a lawn mower at four times the amount from a car, per hour.[9] This is largely due to the lack of any emissions equipment on most lawn mowers; cars have had catalytic converters, fuel injection, and other emissions-control devices for decades, while most mowers have little more than a simple muffler (silencer) and carburetor. Their single-cylinder engines also need to run with a richer fuel-air mixture because of the irregular flow through the carburetor, leading to incomplete combustion.
Mowers also cause significant noise pollution and may cause hearing loss..."

The only wisdom I can offer might be gleaned from these interviews with my longtime editor and collaborator Dian Hanson on the psychology of Breast Men. maverick had mentioned his fondness for Carol Doda. Breast Men in general seem to be Team Players which explains the Hi5ing... but not the whole 'maverick' persona, except that nowadays it's fashionable for conformists to paradoxically deem themselves 'mavericks', in the mode of the Rebel Consumer. Murdoch for example has been from the get-go a purveyor of imperial pornography with an edge of sadism. Marilyn Chambers was good at repackaging herself for new markets, but we'd assume that as she hit 60 she was running out of options in the flesh trade...

Apr 13th, 2009 | STEUBENVILLE, Ohio -- Former Ohio congressman Bob Ney (nay) has started a new talk radio show, eight months after finishing his sentence in a public corruption scandal.
Ney's show debuted Monday afternoon on WVLY-AM 1370 in Wheeling, W.Va., which also serves eastern Ohio. He discussed the pirate hostage crisis, the economy and the Obamas' new dog.
In a video posted on the station's Web site, Ney says he expects some negative feedback from listeners because of his conviction in a congressional bribery case.
The six-term Republican resigned after acknowledging in a 2006 plea that he traded political favors for gifts and campaign donations arranged by lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates.
Ney was released in August from a Cincinnati halfway house.

Another weird element of Nixon's Ethnic Outreach Program, bringing nonWASP fringey white folk into Conservatism... was... Nixon and Reagan were 100% pure Irish... yet... Nixon was a professed Quaker(!) and Reagan became a Prebyterian. Irish-Americans make such great politicians because the Irish have that scrappy underdog image yet they're paler than WASPs if such a thing be possible.

Walter in his wisdom chose to rerun my blogpiece because it somehow became once more germane to the ongoing discussion... of what a disgrace the Times has become. The topic that's ALWAYS on-topic.

We've gotten a deflection from karent2; piggie has an extensive blog elsewhere to which he's directed us on several occasions and crusader's shared a lot of personal data with us, so... I'd think that karent2 being as obsessed as any of us with building a network of frenemies... would've known the difference. So we'll chalk it down to a non-denial denial.

Whoa so the Obama-scrubbing joke was inappropriate language? That was a hell of an image. Yipes Buzz I don't see a big profit for us on this enterprise. 25 bucks is like thumbnail-sketch territory... and your half's on spec...

Ummm... the Feminist Movement? Kelly, you're a guy. Your oatsowing days fade in the rearview. Mind your own business such as it is. Go dust off your framed autographed portrait of Barry Goldwater and relieve your urges such as they are. Let the young folk boogie-woogie. Rome never fell completely; it just relocated to the Potomac.

I have attended for the past 2 years and the snacks are awesome. One of the computer teachers said she liked my 'steampunk' vest-and-pocketwatch outfit.

Ah yes Howard Hughes designed Jane Russell's cantilever bra using techniques he'd mastered working on the Spruce Goose. The two most prominent male founders of the Size Acceptance movement were also design-engineers... I should do a fresh blog-post about my current theories in Pneumaticism...

"WARNING!
Mark that a person, consulted about his body language, almost regularly gives way, even for an unambigous interpretation, in particular if it in some respect could shed a negative light over the person in question. It has been proved that even movements and gestures from subjects of an experiment, which during special conditions have been stimulated through artificial way, quickly finds a ”rational” explanation when the subjects are questioned about their acting. In general, people even want to explain body language with “hard cases”. If you stand with your hands in your pockets, then it is cold. If you stand with your hands at the sides, then it is comfortable. If you do a gesture toward the neck, then it itches, and so on."

Special Gestures~
A person passing his hand toward the mouth, eventually hiding the mouth, as he is pronouncing something, may be suspected of lying. The same gesture performed while he is silent may instead imply that he distrusts your discourse. Alternatively may the hand be passed toward the nose or the ear. However, to clearly scratch one´s nose, or at the eye, is more likely an act of a lost, physical circumstance....

Don't be disingenuous, Jeff. We've been following your posts here since you chose to begin blogging. Dubya propped up a very shaky economy after '01 with a trillion-dollar war-- a quick crack-fix that now leaves this society vastly sicker than before. That's socialism coming from the barrel of a gun!
