nora guthrie is such a pain in the ass. they're not her songs, they're her dad's. i thought julian lennon and hank williams III were annoying offspring, but she takes the cake.

or they thought dildos are too sticky to touch (constitutionally). perhaps they don't want to touch the implied right to privacy until they revisit roe later.

i don't think this is a due process issue as much as an equal protection issue. you could go across the border and get a legal vibrator in another state. the devices aren't banned for safety, but for moral reasons. it's pretty shaky ground to stand on precedent-wise. the SCOTUS did the safest thing possible by just not hearing the case. pity for the clerk!

shakespeare is the best meerkat in the world.

hey all - thinking about moving the family across the country to either oregon or arizona. does anyone have any useful links on such relocations?

that was good stuff. it's good to see that douche get national exposure. his idea of investigative reporting when not harassing this guy is "finding rats" in restaurants and showing up individuals collecting overtime when not working.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Garcia_Esquivel it's old (late 50s-early 60s), but lots of fun.

from the latest molly ivins' piece: Austin, Texas - Oh dear. I'm sure he didn't mean it. In Illinois' Sixth Congressional District, long represented by Henry Hyde, Republican candidate Peter Roskam accused his Democratic opponent, Tammy Duckworth, of planning to "cut and run" on Iraq. Duckworth is a former Army major and chopper pilot who lost both legs in Iraq after her helicopter got hit by an RPG. "I just could not believe he would say that to me," said Duckworth, who walks on artificial legs and uses a cane. Every election cycle produces some wincers, but how do you apologize fo

german americans were lynched in WWI. new berlin, ohio changed the name to north canton. the anti-german sentiment was far worse than freedom fries (although liberty cabbage certainly replaced saurkraut). the people who got the worst of it in WWI domestically were the socialists and anarchists. they were rounded up in the middle of the night. magazine and newspaper offices were raided and their subscription lists were used to compile lists of enemies that j. edgar hoover and a. mitchell palmer swept up literally under cover of darkness. that said, is anyone else saddened/embarassed/sicken

i think i like all the books ayn rand didn't write.

a people's history of the us - howard zinn sophie's world and the solitaire mystery - jostein gaarder we - eugenev zimyatin

the only good that MIGHT come from this could be the end of the theocratic wing of the republicans since that ideology has shown it's even more perverse and bankrupt than what stalin called communism.

the best "grunge" band was and still is the screaming trees. "i nearly lost you" is a beautiful pop single. i liked nirvana well enough. i got bleach through a mailorder accident and thought it was a melvins ripoff, but i like the melvins, so it was cool.

there's a radiohead cover album on oink of all instrumentals done as lullabyes. it's worthy. my kid didn't have a children's music phase much. he liked the beatles a lot, as well as wilco's being there and summerteeth.

all i could think of was michael scott or david brent thinking they just came up with something so brilliant the cars would practically drive themselves off the lot. as brent would say - "heh, topical"

i was talking to some of my more dense students today. they think bush orchestrated 9/11 in some evil genius conspiracy complete with controlled demolition blasts, etc. and all i could think of was how transparent and shoddy the manufactured reasons for the iraq war were and it blew all plausibility from their arguments. evil, maybe. genius? no way.

the username would be i_rtt_dboone. and i'd post this news article that sounds like it's straight out of the tv show the office (uk or us version) http://www.cnn.com/2006/AUTOS/09/25/jihad_...reut/index.html

clinton bombed an asprin factory in afghanistan about the same time it came out that he spurt upon his intern. afghanistan seemed out of the blue to many americans - very wag the dog-ish. i can't believe how bad the bush administration really is. i never thought clinton would look so good. hell, reagan and nixon look good by contrast.

i'd like to know how many of the emails wallace claimed to have received about that issue did NOT come from roger ailes or john moody.

maybe rove is coming out in an attempt to get the log cabin republicans on board. off topic, perhaps log cabin isn't the most fortunate name for a gay republican group?

family guy isn't funny, but the news reports are that osama is dead.

even when confirmed, it won't affect terrorism much at all. bin laden's movement is not top down. he's built a loose confederacy of grass-roots extremists.

if only every one of his threads were this good.

i didn't know if this was going hentai or what.
