MSNBC notices crazy man on the rise...
Ron Paul’s bipartisan attack on the Fed

He has rallied the majority of the House to support his new cause: an audit of the Federal Reserve. Legislators are sick of not knowing what's going on inside Bernanke's fortress, especially as the Fed becomes further enmeshed in the nation's fiscal policy. Paul's little bill has become emblematic of a larger movement, one that could spell trouble for Obama's troubled regulatory plan. Ron Paul — always an enemy of regulation — is now an enemy of Obama. And a mighty powerful one at that.

Paul wants to audit the Fed primarily because he wants to destroy it; the audit bill is just the latest chapter in Paul's lifelong crusade against it. His vendetta is fueled by the belief that the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional, a central bank within a country that doesn't allow central banks. That the Fed can manipulate the currency and "create legal tender out of thin air" is heresy. And so Paul attempts to dismantle it the only way he can: through legislation.

MICHELLE OBAMA'S CREW OF HELPERS

Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of highly-paid staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request, in the midst of this recession. The benefit package for these servants is the same as members of the national security and defense departments, and the bill (as well as for Michelle's own private 757 passenger jet and fleet of assorted limousines and other support logistics) comes right out of the taxpayer's pocket. Queen Michelle doesn't get paid a salary, but the side-benefits certainly give her a royal lifestyle during these hard times. No expense is spared.

Staffers available at her command:

1. $172,2000 - Sher, Susan (CHIEF OF STAFF)
2. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND PROJECTS FOR THE FIRST LADY)
3. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND WHITE HOUSE SOCIAL SECRETARY)
4. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE FIRST LADY)
5. Winter, Melissa E. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE FIRST LADY)
6. $90,000 - Medina, David S. (DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE FIRST LADY)
7. $84,000 - Lelyveld, Catherine M. (DIRECTOR AND PRESS SECRETARY TO THE FIRST LADY)
8. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (DIRECTOR OF SCHEDULING AND ADVANCE FOR THE FIRST LADY)
9. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND PROJECTS FOR THE FIRST LADY)
10. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND DEPUTY SOCIAL SECRETARY)
11. Reinstein, Joseph B. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND DEPUTY SOCIAL SECRETARY)
12. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF SCHEDULING AND EVENTS COORDINATOR FOR THE FIRST LADY)
13. $60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF ADVANCE AND TRIP DIRECTOR FOR THE FIRST LADY)
14. Lewis, Dana M. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT AND PERSONAL AIDE TO THE FIRST LADY)
15. $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR AND DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY TO THE FIRST LADY)
16. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT FOR SCHEDULING AND TRAVELING AIDE TO THE FIRST LADY)

J.R.R. Tokien, The Return of the King:

'Now you go to sleep first, Mr. Frodo,' he said. 'It's getting dark again. I reckon this day is nearly over.'

Frodo sighed and was asleep almost before the words were spoken. Sam struggled with his own weariness, and he took Frodo's hand; and there he sat silent till deep night fell. Then at last, to keep himself awake, he crawled from the hiding-place and looked out. The land seemed full of creaking and cracking and sly noises, but there was no sound of voice or of foot. Far above the Ephel Dúath in the West the night-sky was still dim and pale. There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach. His song in the Tower had been defiance rather than hope; for then he was thinking of himself. Now, for a moment, his own fate, and even his masters, ceased to trouble him. He crawled back into the brambles and laid himself by Frodo's side, and putting away all fear he cast himself into a deep untroubled sleep.

Good night.

Armadillo-like Crocodile Fossil Found in Brazil

It was 6.6 feet (2 meters) long, weighed about 265 pounds (120 kilograms), and had a relatively wide head with a narrow, toothy snout.

Body armor has never been "found in any other fossil or living crocodile species," Ismar de Souza Carvalho, a paleontologist at the Federal University in Rio de Janeiro, said via email.

Quick Joke:

Farrah Fawcett dies, and goes up to heaven.

When she comes face to face with God, he says, "Farrah, I'm proud of you. You've done a lot of good work, and even used your acting to give people a new respect for angels. Therefore, I'm going to grant you any wish you want. Think carefully, because you get one and only one wish."

Farrah thinks for a while, and then says, "God, I know what I'd like my wish to be."

God replies, "What is it?"

Farrah says, "I wish that you would keep all the children in the world safe."

God replies. "Farrah, that's an excellent wish, and I shall grant it immediately!" God snaps his fingers and says, "It is done!"

Confused, Farrah asks, "What exactly did you do?"

God replies, "Michael Jackson is now dead."

As a matter of fact, as we get higher up into the video list, we'll see more and more artists with controversial actions and personal lives.

Such, as Sinead O'Connor, who comes into the list at #34, with Nothing Compares 2 U:

Today in History, July 9th:
Click here for History Channel's July 9th video.

Highlights of this day in history: William Jenning Bryan gives his famous "cross of gold" speech at the Democratic National Convention. The Grateful Dead give their last live concert before Jerry Garcia dies. Mike Tyson banned from boxing. The first Wimbledon tennis tournament begins.

Other notable July 9th events include:

1900 – Queen Victoria gives royal assent to an Act creating the Commonwealth of Australia thus uniting separate colonies on the continent under one federal government.

1922 – Johnny Weissmuller swims the 100 meters freestyle in 58.6 seconds breaking the world swimming record and the 'minute barrier'.

1989 – Two bombs explode in Mecca, killing one pilgrim and wounding 16 others.

1991 – South Africa is readmitted into the Olympic movement after 30 years of exclusion.

1999 – Days of student protests begin after Iranian police and hardliners attack a student dormitory at the University of Tehran.

I would totally have Nirvana in the top 5 or 10, though.

re: #73 Sharmuta

Some song by The Beatles. Hard to pick one.

They hardly made any "videos", though.

There was the "I Am the Walrus" video from the Magical Mystery Tour TV special.
Various songs from "Help!" could be considered standalone videos.

But aside from that, they mostly predated the video era.

Personally, I've hardly seen any music videos ever -- aside from a few on YouTube, generally 20 years or whatever after the fact. I sorta missed the whole video thing -- never had cable, never seen one second of MTV.

My feeling always was and remains: The music should stand on its own! If it requires a video, it's lacking something.

So, having seen exactly none of the ones gmsc listed, I have no opinions on them -- and shall now proceed to shut up on the topic!

Close! Very close!

re: #89 gmsc

They used to say the same things about poems when their lyrics were first being set to music.

But actually, that's inaccurate, because a "lyric poem" was always intended to be read along with music, even back when they were invented in ancient Greece 2,600 years ago. After all, the very word "lyric" derives from the "lyre" -- the Greek harp.

Lyric poetry

Lyric poetry for the ancient Greeks had a precise and technical meaning: verse that was accompanied by the lyre. The lyric poet was classified as distinct from the writer of plays (which were spoken rather than sung), the writer of trochaic and iambic verses (which were recited), from the writer of elegies (which were accompanied by the flute, rather than the lyre) and the writer of epics.

I wasted too much time in college studying this stuff!

re: #114 Dark_Falcon

G'nite, Dark Falcon!

Thought I'd pop in and see if anyone is up for a little Urdu poetry.

Here is one of my favorites:

baat karanii mujhe mushkil kabhii aisii to na thii
jaisii ab hai terii mahafil kabhii aisii to na thii

le gayaa chhiin ke kaun aaj teraa sabr-o-qarar
beqaraarii tujhe ai dil kabhii aisii to na thii

chashm-e-qaatil merii dushman thii hameshaa lekin
jaise ab ho ga_ii qaatil kabhii aisii to na thii

un kii aa.Nkho.n ne Khudaa jaane kiyaa kyaa jaaduu
ke tabiiyat merii maa_il kabhii aisii to na thii

aks-e-ruKh-e-yaar ne kis se hai tujhe chamakaayaa
taab tujh me.n maah-e-kaamil kabhii aisii to na thii

kyaa sabab tuu jo biga.Dataa hai "Zafar" se har baar
Khuu terii huur-e-shamaa_il kabhii aisii to na thii

In case you aren't versed in Urdu, the poem is about a guy who can't get enough of himself, avoids doing his job so he can admire himself and when he does work he just does the fun stuff. He then lets the world around him collapse into despair. But his self love is so intense that the suffering of his friends and family doesn't bother him much.

I have always liked that poem. Not sure why. Just do.

"Death Before Dismount!"

11H, long, long ago... (Harmony Church, not Sand Hill)

A personal anecdote:
My freshman year in college, a friend and I decided to climb a 14er (a 14,000 foot peak in Colorado) at about 8 o'clock at night. We left immediately. The moon was full, so after the initial 4X4 road and hike up to timberline, we had plenty of light. We persevered, and we were smoking an inordinate amount of pot. We made the summit of Uncompahgre Peak (14,309 feet above sea level) just after midnight. After careful consideration and a little more pot smoke, we decided to bivouac on top of the mountain and hike down in the morning. True story.

Truth be told, that night brought some of the most beautiful mountain scenery I have ever seen, and I was born and raised in the mountains of Colorado.

day one, drive up to trailhead, camp out, relax
day two, walk up to first lake, camp out, relax
day three, walk up to second lake, just below the switchbacks and relax.
day four, corresponding to the height of the Pleiades's meteor shower, hump up to the top of the ridge to the summit, and watch the show.
day five, let gravity do the w*rk, once we're off the ridge.
day six, drive back to Lost Angels

Dude: i'm talking about walking up a trail... i ain't climbing up shit at my age, not that i was ever into it... the wildest part is traversing the ridge from where the trail crosses the spine of the Sierra Nevada to the peak, but it is/was, just rock scrambling at 12-14K feet.

I just might. This is the most pointless class of all-time. "Theory of Persuasive Communication". Such common sense stuff here.

Look at a bit from my notes...

Message from a source, has a receiver. Receiver acts or processes it. Action sought is the objective. That’s the persuasive objective. Do you want whatever it is? It’s whats in the message that determines the action. The message refers to the content of the source generated ideas.

Iowahawk is on a roll.

[Iowahawk skewers MJ - and MJ’s home state]:

LOS ANGELES - Millions of fans from around the globe gathered along Sunset Boulevardto pay final respects to California today, as a slow moving funeral procession transported the eccentric superstar state's remains to its final resting place in a Winchell's Donuts dumpster in Van Nuys… The 640-mile long funeral parade route was lined with flowers, candles, teddy bears, and IOUs from millions of mourners and debtors who made the somber journey to watch the passing of the state that had once ruled the box office and industrial charts.

For a time it seemed as if the superstar could do no wrong, but behind the glittering facade of Disneyland Manor troubling signs of mental instability began to emerge. The state developed a well publicized drug problem during filming of 1967's 'Summer of Love,' and briefly dabbled in strange religious cults. Under the influence of spiritual guru Jerry Brown, it began wholesale experimentation in exotic spending programs, eventual resulting in a traumatic 1979 stay at the Prop 13 Rehab Center... 80's and 90's California enjoyed a brief career renaissance with hits like 'Olympics,' 'Real Estate' and 'Dot Com Boom,' but personal problems plagued the reclusive star once again. During the recording of the 'OJ' and 'Rodney King' albums, friends and visitors expressed concern over its recurring tremors and penchant for self-mutilation… analysts say the state died penniless, owing creditors as much as $100 billion. Amid the swirling recriminations between California camp factions, fans chose to mark its passing quietly... Iowa said that despite being the constant butt of the Golden State's insults and jokes, it will remember the late superstar fondly.

"Let's not remember California as a bloated, rotting freakshow corpse hanging above a filthy public pension toilet," it said. "Let's remember the good times. Like my 6-day bender at the '91 Rose Bowl."
