That Face In The Mirror, It’s Ugly
I know this is a bit late, but I totally see what Jeffrey Goldberg’s doing there:
I bring [Virgin Ben’s “Friends of Hamas” smear of Chuck Hagel] up to note the remarkable fact that Mr. Shapiro, who has positioned himself as a stalwart defender of Israel and of the Jewish people, has expressed views that place him squarely in the fascist camp…In a column published in 2003, Shapiro explicitly endorsed the idea of forcibly expelling the Palestinians from the West Bank. This was the position of the extremist Meir Kahane, who was banned by the Israeli Supreme Court from participating in Israeli politics because of his racist views.
Bad Virgin Ben! Doesn’t he know that — oh:
The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg Was a Follower of Jewish Rightwing Terrorist Meir Kahane
Now Goldberg’s using Jennifer “Bili” Rubin in exactly the same way and since we all live in what someone smart called the United States of Amnesia, he’ll get away with it, becoming the Moderate & Reasonable Jeffrey Goldberg.
The “less extrem[ist], more civil” David Frum has been working this same schtick for several years now. Yeah, David Frum.
The fact is, first.
The fact is, if we put Isreal first, we put America first. God has chosen us and the Jews. We must also destroy all Islamists the way it tells us to in the Bible.
We must also destroy all
Islamistscotton-poly blends the way it tells us to in the Bible.THE FACT ISREAL!
The fact is, the geologist survived because he didn’t feldspar.
Now Goldberg’s using Jennifer “Bili” Rubin…

Like in the Biblical sense? Are there pictures?
This seems like a weird mutation of the It’s Always Projection principle. Especially when you consider that there are plenty of grounds on which to attack Shapiro without dragging Meir Kahane into it.

I still can’t comment on my own damn blog. No respect, I tells ya.
His websites are defunct or dormant and his regular posts to Renew America stopped two years ago. I found a few posts of his from last year, incoherent as ever, but they’re religious rather than political.
Damn shame. Grant Swank was one of the greats.

@Bitterscribe: “This seems like a weird mutation of the It’s Always Projection principle”
Maybe – I’d put it more as a variant of the “That was then, this is now” principle, or maybe a hybrid. It’s hard to know which of the Guiding Principles* of the Freiheit! Korps are being used at any single point.
* including “It’s Not My Fault”, “I Was Misquoted”, “Oh, Yeah, So’s Your Mother!”, and of course everybody’s favorite “Did Not, Did Not, Did Not, Waaaaah!”
Sex life? You’re misinformed – I reproduce by binary fission.

But does it repeal Obamacare again? For, what would it be, the 34th time?
Dear God, what a bunch of petty fucksticks is the GOP.
Their budget defunds ACORN. Which has been defunct for like three years.
Which already non-spent money you KNOW they added into their “savings over Obama’s budget.”
One of their constituents needs to ask them why they don’t focus on the real problems, like fluoridation and chemtrails.
A wacko at the bus stop yesterday was mumbling about chemtrails as a jet flew over. That anecdata proves it’s a winning issue, they should run with it.
Seems the House GOP is killing ACORN again. Their budget defunds ACORN. Which has been defunct for like three years. I just … I can’t … I don’t even …
Hey, once a hate-object, always a hate-object. ACORN being dead just means they’ll have enough courage to attack it. (Since it existed to help poor communities, they can’t ever stop hating it.) Plus, no one told them to stop attacking!
On the plus side, I heard the congressional budget was cut by 8%. I was thinking 80% would be more appropriate considering how little work they’re getting done, but it’s a start.

How long will you be in town? I’ll be working graveyards, but might be able to meet up for a beer on Sunday. If you’re still around on Tuesday, come on down to Brooklyn. It’ll be a weird night, not only am I going there for the lecture, but I’m planning on meeting up with both a young lady my landlord’s wife wants to fix me up with and a old friend I’ve known for twenty-five years, as well as the usual Secret Science scenesters.

I think I borked my PC. The fan was going like crazy all the time so I removed the CPU and found the cooling fins all crudded up with dust. Carefully vac’ed, ran a q-tip through the fan to break up the caked on dust, more vac, and so on. Reassemble and voila, no video output. HP desktop with on-board nVidia grafix. Off to Fry’s to test CPU. Fuck.
Is it on a network? Will it serve files?
‘I think I borked my PC.”
You accurately quoted its past public statements in order to make it look bad? Serves you right.
I think I borked my PC.

Jesus Christ. Who likes listening to Joanna Newsom? Someone who’s worried that kittens are a threat?
If Simka Gravas could sing (without an accent), she’d sound like Joanna Newsom.
Yes it’s networked, no it won’t serve any fucking thing. I just removed the MB, gonna drive down to Fry’s and get it all checked out. Iffen I needs a CPU I can buy one there. Iffen I needs a MB I can buy one there. You can buy almost anything at Fry’s. Iffen it turns out I just forgot to jumper all the right stuff over, like missed a power cable, I’ll say “I’M A FUCKIN IDIOT” and slink home.
Fixxorated for what I would do. I can’t get out of Fry’s without buying things I don’t need. I’ve learned just to not step into Fry’s.
Borked? If so I bet it was the vacuum. I don’t let one get near a PC. Static electricity isn’t your friend on/near the motherboard.
Oh, and just admit it, you just want to go to Fry’s ’cause it’s in Wilsonville and has the best restaurants! I mean there’s a “Chili’s” and a “Red Robin”! True foodie paradise.

Hugo Chavez is dead.
By all accounts, he was a disaster as Venezuela’s leader. I just wonder what’s going to happen to its oil money now.
Hugo Chavez was not only the President of Venezuela, he was also the Chicago Comptroller.
RIP Hugo. He sent heating assistance to poor Americans a few years back (some of it came up here to the rez) which should have truly shamed our own government.
The Emperor is back on the air! Yayz!
I never much cared for Chavez, but I never understood our collective freakout over him.
Oil! And the wealth generated by it going to the poor.
That’s an affront to the American way of life.
Also Chavez was an excellent troll.
Well, I didn’t know the guy, personally.
.
I hadn’t thought of it that way but that is exactly it. The guy could talk for hours and it was insidious and persuasive (given an understanding of venezuelan). Because: insomnia, I listened to him a few times and, while crude he made a good case. Plus, what a career arc.
Allende’s evanescence: poor trolling skillz.
We like our South American
despotsFighters for Democracy more when they murder poor people for corporate profits.~
I never much cared for Chavez, but I never understood our collective freakout over him.
It was part of our collective freakout over everything remotely related to or suspected of Bolshevism, Marxism, Communism, “socialism” (God help us), or anything in any way connectable, in the fevered imaginations of a bunch of opportunists and mental defectives, with anyone or anything that might conceivably wish to roll tumbrils down Main St. It has been responsible for untold idiocies, ruined lives, and an overall ghastly array of abominations in American government and policies, both foreign and domestic. This truly is the cure being worse than the disease. Our missteps with Chavez were mild in comparison.
Brother Hugo could troll, baby.
Smell the brimstone!
I liked the guy just for that. Sure he was an asshole, but, like Democratic assholes in the U.S., the little guy got some gravy. The whole problem with Republicans is that they won’t let the little guy in; given the choice, I’d take Chavez in a heartbeat.
Course the ol’ boy ain’t got no heartbeat…
Sending heating assistance money to poor Americans (particularly Injuns) was a great way to troll the US.

I’ve actually been to Venezuela, but all we would do was stop in Valencia to pick up freight on our way to Bogota.
4 or 5 bored looking security people would camp out on the plane while we were being loaded. I have no idea what they were supposed to be protecting us from (or who they were protecting from us). We’d usually give them the cake and sodas from our cater.

Chavez caused major freakouts in the U.S. because he was sitting on oil which rightfully belonged to Exxon Mobil or B.P. The neocons wanted Chavez to be Mossadegh 2: Boogaloo Coup, all so we could grab the black gold.
We never seem to learn, do we?

Nope. If Gaddafi didn’t piss off “our” big oil companies, we wouldn’t have undertaken “regime-change” in Libya.

Rubio has stuck his foot – I mean, oar into the debate.
You know, I admit that I didn’t keep a close eye on Venezuela but I never heard anything to suggest “Hey, I know you’re glad that soshulist dirtbag is gone. Here’s hoping your next leader meets the approval of the U.S., for which I totally speak,” is the right tone to take before the corpse had gone through the stages of rigor mortis.
From what I’ve seen, people can be funny about their leaders, even when said leaders are dickheads. People can be even funnier when nations like the U.S. gets involved. But Rubio could give a fuck since he’s just another Republican doucheclog.
Offering aid after Katrina was an especially good troll, given the way Bush and his minions were screwing shit up.
From LittlePig’s “Smell the brimstone!” link:
John Bolton accusing someone else of comic-strip anything is to laugh. When it was in response to an accurate accusation of hypocrisy and hegemony, well …

Don’t you think a more explicit term would be “corporate energy overlords?” I realize your “our” implies that we don’t own them, rather the reverse, but they’ve gotten more blatant and obnoxious about it recently.
OK, caught up with the thread now. For now.
New diary:

Read it. Liked it.
So, here’s this guy – obliged to stay in top physical form, go through years of training and retraining, do daily a difficult, demanding and potentially dangerous job which takes him away from his family while paying him peanuts. And he loves it.
Men are seriously weird.
But some of them e.g. the Major, I like.
Actually the job pays quite well, otherwise I don’t know if I’d be putting myself through this.
We make more than the pilots at passenger airlines and we still (for now) have a pension.
Pre-9/11 the mainline passenger carriers (Delta, United, American) made more than us, but since then the bankruptcy courts have taken a large bite out of their pay and benefits. Don’t worry, I’m sure the executives kept their big bonuses.
My First Officer pay rate is better than most First Officers at American and even some Captains at US Airways.
Don’t worry, I’m sure the executives kept their big bonuses.
*Whew!* Man, you had me going for a second there…………………….

The really bad ones are the regionals. A junior First Officer at a regional airline probably qualifies for food stamps.

John revolta just reminded meof some of my favorite bad bad bad lyrics
Them’s some very very bad lyrics.

And may have been highly discouraged from applying for food stamps, because that makes the company look bad.
RIP Chavez. I’ll take the influence of Simón Bolívar over a neocon any day of the week. The trashing of Chavez was both transparent and embarrassing to me.
Oh, it did post after all, but fuck you WordPress.
You bet your sweet ass we are!
Damn, RIP Alvin Lee. He could fucking rock.
Hey Major, good diary.
I used to have to fly to rinky-dink towns all the time when I toured food plants, which tend to be in the middle of nowhere. I envy you lucking into an exceptional diner.
Them’s some very very bad lyrics.
There are pharmacological requirements for their full appreciation.
Looks like I’ll be getting to Boston just in time for winter storm whatever they’re calling it. So I’ve got that to look forward to.
Liked the diary, Major. It actually sounds a lot like being in the music biz, only if you’re lucky enough to be a band leader, you get the extra fun of herding a bunch of (drunken) cats at the same time.
This kind of makes up for it, no? Ok fine.
You don’t need lyrics if you can jam.
“I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I leave it up to you”
The official motto of the 113th Congress of the United States of America.
It also helps to be really, really high.
“Like, woah, maaaan, woah. That’s deeeeeep.”
If The Ho and I happen to hear some bad lyrics it’s likely I will say “someone get me a ladder” while he, at about the same time, will say “bees make honey.”
Speaking of lyrics, I _finally_ got around to setting up Audacity and DVDdecrypter to rip music from DVDs to iTunes. Bled just a little bit figuring it out (can ANYONE write decent documentation? Doesn’t seem like it) what with having the right codecs and such but I managed to get Leonard Cohen Live in London finished up late in the afternoon. Definitely worth the pain.
Teh Ho said “You can do Camelot and Sound of Music and the rest!” No, I said, Idon’t think I can.
You don’t need lyrics if you can jam.

Is he cute? That does look interesting. I may have used it before, couple eons ago, I wouldn’t remember. There was a time when I was capturing some Internet radio streams, mostly Brazilian jazz some of which can be hard to find. I don’t really spend much time on this shit – listen to a couple Internet radio stations mostly or pop in a classical cd. About the only time I listen on my iPhone is when I’m out riding my motorsickle.
Audacity is nice because I can easily do fade-outs and also for editing (read: inserting) the metadata.
BEWARE THE CUTTLEFISH!!!!
Sorry, I’ve been reading too much Rudy Rucker lately, couldn’t help it.
I agree, that’s good stuff.
Fixxorated for great truth.

There’s a good bit of talk these days about “subtle homophobia,” (and for good reason) so it’s near the fore of my awareness. No homo. And besides, that’s so gay. Reading that comment got me thinking that transwomen who have not had the surgery would likely take you to task for saying that. Is it subtle transphobia? I doubt it, coming from anyone in this crowd, I’m just pointing out that we all say things without thinking about such shit.
From a 19th-century obituary:
“Many others have enjoyed the unlimited hospitality of the deceased and well-groomed gentleman.”
If I offended I’m sorry. I tend to draw a distinction between physical sex and not necessarily physical gender, i.e. one could be female but not a woman and vice versa, but as it’s not my experience I may be way off base.
I use Audacity to finish up the tracks generated when I digitize phonograph records.
I discovered something interesting (to me) while doing so. We have some very old 78s that sound absolutely horrible — mostly noise. I had one of Stravinsky (“Firebird”) that I wanted to digitize, though. So I used Audacity’s noise reduction features, heavily … the result is like a different work of art, and quite beautiful. Sounds like a pointillistic synth rendition. Certain passages are fractured into rapid series of distinct notes where no scale or arpeggio existed before. Lots of dynamics and an overall fabric of tiny silences.
At least I don’t have to go on about debeaking.
My mother-in-law will sometimes call someone (sometimes herself) a “giant queer-ball”. Based on teh context I’m pretty sure she means to call the person hokey or corny but I cringe nonetheless.
I do and I will say things without thinking about such shit, so reminders are okay by me. Except that I will cry.

also, too…she talks about the coloreds as well, so…giant queer-ball ain’t so bad…

Y’know what, bitches? I picked up smoking again, some time ago. I’m weak, and I couldn’t resist the siren call of addiction and co-conspiracy with my two co-workers (and the fact that our boss HATES TEH SMOKING… naw, he’s a really good boss, I must admit). But now, I am back to vaping, and committed to staying addicted to clean nicotine, at least.
Luckily for me, a new place opened literally around the corner from where I live where I can get All The Shit for PRO vaping. Their blueberry juice is incredible, an’ if anyone here is a vaper, sing out and I will get you some free stuff.

I feel pretty cranky about the jackass whoyanked the tree in Mill Ends Park, but it does look as though it hadn’t been there that long. I have a brother in law in Portland who’s a lawyer who might be persuaded to go after the so-and-so (my sister’s a lawyer, too, but she works for the State).
The tree destruction that hacks me off was the poisoning of Treaty Oak in Austin. A check shows the tree survived, if somewhat lopsidedly, and even resumed producing acorns. At the time, I suspected developers, as Austin was booming, and the tree’s on prime land.
I’ve heard of that. Truly, that is driving incompetence that would be hard to match – only one tree within 250 miles and that shithead managed to run into it.
A whacked-out loser, a member of the Aryan Brotherhood, poisoned the tree “because he wanted to entrap its spiritual energy.”
Jeffraham: as someone who smoked for thir-*cough* years – Vaping is fucking awesome.
Even dumber was the poisoning of the century old Toomer’s Corner oak trees which are a big deal to the fans of Auburn football, by Harvey Updyke, a fan of the University of Alabama.
Vaping is fucking awesome.
ahhhh…i also succumbed to temptation for a bit and picked up teh smoking again,..however, i am now clean since november….i thought about vaping, but then realized it would become just as much a pain in the ass as making sure i had enough cigs to get me through the night…some of the coworkers at the club still smoke, but it doesn’t entice me in the least…and hubbkf’s smoking in the house and car is starting to make me nauseous…
also, the dude in the commercial for blu (?) e-cigs looks like he woke up on the beach with the worst hangover ever…
bbkf — those little cigarette-sized systems are like toys. Helpful if one is looking to put down cigs, but long term, too much hassle & expense.
.
fucking touchscreens…how do they work? srsly…my mother just called because she couldn’t figure out how to delete an app (farmville, of course) from her ipad…
mother: i’m putting my finger over it, but it won’t wiggle…
me: are you touching the screen?
mother: well, you don’t have to do you? don’t you just hold your finger over it?’
and she’s had this thing how long? my forehead…it already hurts from the slapping…

hmmm…good to know…i was thinking that one would be nice for when one is drinking and everybody one wants to converse with is out on the smoking patio…but i think i know myself better than that…i would drunkenly smoke a real one a few times and….boom goes the dynamite….i would be back at it again…
two of my friends, who are married, have tried to quit…she’s been on nicorette and ciggies for at least a decade now and he took up chantix about a month ago and continues to smoke at his normal prodigous rate…
BREAKING! BREAKING! WHOOP WHOOP WOOP BREAKING!
Smithsonian Institution promotes Islamist jihadist sharia enforcing propaganda!
Sadly, no. That’s a crescent sun.
Also, what a great image. Knowing as much as I know about photography (not much) that must have been a difficult shot to get. In order to get the person to be so neatly framed by the sun, the photographer must have been pretty far from the subject and zoomed in pretty close with a big telephoto lens, to get them both in focus meant the aperture was dialed down to a pinhole, to set up the shot, the photographer had to know where and when the sun was going to set, and to avoid burning out the sensor, there had to have been a pretty heavy filter. The filter and tiny aperture both would increase the exposure time, so the lens must have been pretty fast to begin with, and it almost goes without saying that they used a pretty solid tripod.
In short, they didn’t snap a candid with their smartphone camera.
Bravo.
Sadly, no. That’s a crescent sun.
but still…it looks sinisterly islamic to me…and…after looking at it? the scarf i was hitherto wearing around my neck…is now draped over my head as well…bring on the shania!
So, I just spent thirty minutes writing and reworking three paragraphs to post on Facebook in response to a wingnut relative Standing With Rand Paul because we should ALL be concerned about potential violations of our civil liberties. It was a NICE post. It really was. It wasn’t mean or sarcastic or trollish, rather quite charitable and reasonable sounding, but without making any concessions to Rand Paul, the basic shorter being “I fully endorse this man’s obvious and commendable concern for our civil liberties, but has he really accomplished anything at all?” So I wrote that, and then reworked it and polished it until it was what I thought was a good collection of points about how drones have changed the security state and how that affects our civil liberties.
And then I began to contemplate the “enter” button.
And then my shoulder angel and shoulder devil issued a joint statement. Which was “Walter, Walter, what’s the point, man? Yes, you COULD hold a civil conversation about a complete non-issue with someone who cares so little about the actual issue that his only response to police brutality during OWS was to snigger that anarchists didn’t believe in rights anyway. But do you WANT to? I mean, REALLY want to? Come on, you can tell us.”
To which I could only response “No, I suppose not.”
So I did not hit “post,” did hit “delete,” and went to Burger King for lunch.
That’s my morning so far. How’re all my fellow Commuslimunist fascist Second Amendment hating Obambi worshipers?
Sadly, no. That’s a crescent sun.
I had a friend in undergrad from South Carolina, who showed up wearing a T-shirt with the state flag on it (it was a palm tree with a crescent moon). And another good friend of mine, decidedly not from the South, was like “why are you wearing a Muslim T-shirt?”
Cultural misunderstandings FTW.
That distinction will completely pass by (and by “pass by” I mean “go so far overhead there will be only a vague whistling noise”) the shariahysterics. After all, they succeeded in getting the Flight 93 memorial changed away from its original “Islamic red crescent” (red maples, following the natural contour of the land).
I either did not know or did not remember that Flight 93 thing.
What a miserable life these people must lead. What do they do on all these days of the months where the moon’s a crescent, gather their AR-15s and try to shoot it down?
(Don’t answer that).
M-O-O-N. That spells sharia law!
The smug blindness of it all makes me tired. Crosses on mountaintops, 10 Commandments on the courthouse lawn, cross necklaces, all fine, nothing to see here (and they really don’t). Vaguely crescent-shaped things and checked scarves (never mind any intentional representations of Islam) are Right Out, because they represent (someone else’s) religion.
Really, when you think about it, they seem to have a very poor opinion of their faith/masculinity/whatever, since they seem so convinced the tiniest thing will utterly destroy it.

In my long experience as a militant anti-theist cocksucking fag, I have to say “BINGO!”

thank you for making me guffaw…

Never go Full Hijab.
I’ve gone full Jib-Jab before. That wasn’t so bad.
I’ve got full Jub-Jub, myself.
“No, I suppose not.”
I’ve had the odd suppose-me-not over at America’s Shittiest Website myself.
I rarely go there any more.
Wingnuts seem to prefer (if not love like giddy sophomores) the “Brute Experience Or Bust” school over the “How Did This Cunning Plan Work Out Last Time” school.
Experience may be the perfect tutor … but I for one find it a mite off-putting that only the dead matriculate.
ewwww…i made the mistake of reading the comments on an article on teh yahoo about bin laden’s son in law’s trial…you can imagine the mangoes…
Don’t know how I missed this new-ish info about super capacitors — pretty cool possibilities.
Why with one of those devices you could have 100 times the power when you build up the static electricity to shock your child’s nose.
That is pretty cool. Back when I was employed by one of those Eebul Chemical companies, the ability to turn cents-per-ton resin into something they could sell by the square foot to readily collect electrons was one of their Holy Grails.
Back in my youth I did ground-breaking research in the field of super-incapacitation.
Ground-breaking research in the field of superconductors.
Oooooh, research project!
New post!
