I always feel an inner sense of accomplishment when I make it to the overnight thread, being out here on the East Coast as I am.

Having said that, I shall triumphantly head off to sleep now. Weet dreams everyone...

Do you enjoy the musical version of Planet of the Apes?

Years ago I recall seeing the cover to a graphic novel that was a cross over story between Planet of the Apes and Alien Nation.

A special effects make-up artists nightmare.

Just watched an old "Boston Legal" episode where the court case was in regard to teaching ID in schools. The judge ruled for ID. Go figure. I thought Hollywood was to liberal for that.

I bet giraffes and oakpis keep in touch better than 0bama does with the rest of his family.

I know the media has gone bonkers over Michael Jackson, but I've hardly heard anything mentioned about the movie 'The Wiz'. I was never a fan of Jackson's music, but I think 'The Wiz' starring Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and Nipsey Russell was a great flick.

Hi there all of you night lizards. Thought I would never get here from the last thread.

/I was following you!

Got to go to sleep...can't see straight. Daughter brought the almost-3 year old here, and he was sooo funny! Today he was asking question after question, with a straight face. I had such a hard time keeping my face serious. NY Grampa got both of us a new mouse pad, of the 3 little guys together, on a slide, and the small person was amazed. He wanted to know how someone could do that. NY Grampa explained. Daughter is thinking of getting one for her and for my son in law.

Sweet dreams, Lizards! G'nite, all.

We firmly believe that our publication of your fail is protected under the concepts of fair use, commentary and non-trademark use. Please RTFM and we welcome you to teh interwebs.

Since we at FAIL Blog(TM) don’t have a legal defense department, we have complied with your request to remove the trademarked term and logo from the original image. We have used the “naughty bits filter” on the image to secure your naughty, naughty, trademark assertions.

Check out ZombieTime. John Holdrens office issue a statement to answer Zombie's post about the man's population control scheme he helped to write about back in '77.

Three cheers for the walking dead! The revolution will not be televised, it will be blogged!

Here's the full post (sorry if anyone already saw it on the previous thread) --a brand new zomblog post, uploaded just a short time ago:

(And this will be my final comment of the night -- duties beckon!)

---

White House, John Holdren's office both issue statements on Ecoscience controversy

According to this article in the Washington Times, both the White House and John Holdren’s office have issued official statements from Holdren and his co-authors in which he distances himself from the words published in Ecoscience 32 years ago. From the article:

When asked whether Mr. Holdren’s thoughts on population control have changed over the years, his staff gave The Washington Times a statement that said, “This material is from a three-decade-old, three-author college textbook. Dr. Holdren addressed this issue during his confirmation when he said he does not believe that determining optimal population is a proper role of government. Dr. Holdren is not and never has been an advocate for policies of forced sterilization.”
…

The White House also passed along a statement from the Ehrlichs that said, in part, “anybody who actually wants to know what we and/or Professor Holdren believe and recommend about these matters would presumably read some of the dozens of publications that we and he separately have produced in more recent times, rather than going back a third of a century to find some formulations in an encyclopedic textbook where description can be misrepresented as endorsement.“

(The second quote above is from page 2 of the article.)

In my original report, I asked Holdren “to publicly renounce and disavow the opinions and recommendations he made in the book Ecoscience.”

I ask my readers: Do you think this counts as the renunciation and disavowal I requested?

And who wants to take up the challenge from the Ehrlichs issued by the White House to look into “some of the dozens of publications that we and he separately have produced in more recent times” to uncover “what we and/or Professor Holdren believe”? Seems like territory ripe for exploration! Post any research you uncover either here in the comments section, or on your own blog. Anything that John Holdren or the Ehrlichs have written since 1977 is fair game — according to the Ehrlichs themselves.

It’s quite unusual for a blog post to cause such a fuss that it elicits a response from the White House. Why did they bother responding to my post and not the countless other posts critical of the Obama administration?

[Note: Yes, I know the Washington Times is owned by the Unification Church, and is known to have a conservative slant, but in recent years they've become more mainstream and it looks like they've diligently done their homework this time.]

This is a non-response to your request. It blames those who believe your article for being, basically, stupid. It's similar to the standard non-apology that goes, "I'm sorry that you're offended by..." which shifts blame from the utterer back onto the objector.

Interesting, too, that not a single one of the three authors is willing to take credit for the words. One of them surely wrote them, and the others agreed with them enough to allow them to stand in their joint publication. And there is no direct discussion, let alone denunciation, of those words by any of them, just finger-pointing over who actually said them and a smoke-grenade in the form of "Well, that book is old" tossed out to obscure the actual issue.

Up the ante. Demand an explicit retraction and denunciation of those statements, or point out that, without it, the authors are implicitly owning the words they wrote to this very day.

WTF Can't find the link but the local NBC news said the credit card folks are lowering limits, etc. on folks who have used their credit cards at a thrift store. That is unreal.

They're lowering limits in general; it doesn't matter where you shop. With a half-million jobs being lost every month, letting people rack up large quantities of debt is a losing proposition for credit card companies.

If I remember right, they're also penalising people who always pay on time.

re: #58 SixDegrees

I agree but it's not just poor folks who like to go there and shop. That could really be a shame, especially if the credit score is dropped, for some decent responsible folks.

Look- not to sound rude or anything, but this is a non-issue for me. This guy is not forcing abortions on anyone now or at any point in the future.

What's really affecting my life is the shit the president is doing with Congress. Things like making it difficult for my employer and other people just like him to keep their business in operation. The economy is affecting me- not the science czar. Granted- that book says some really f*cked up things, but really. The science czar's decades old comments are impacting me a hell of a lot less than those Lousy Human Bastards in Congress. But if others want to be outraged by this, I can't stop them.

Today in History, July 15th:

Highlights of this day in history: President Richard Nixon announces his breakthrough trip to China; Fashion designer Gianni Versace slain; Aerospace giant Boeing founded; Dutch painter Rembrandt born.

Other notable July 15th events include:

1799 – The Rosetta Stone is found in the Egyptian village of Rosetta by French Captain Pierre-François Bouchard during Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign.

1823 – A fire destroys the ancient Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome.

1870 – Reconstruction era of the United States: Georgia becomes the last of the former Confederate states to be readmitted to the Union.

1979 – U.S. President Jimmy Carter gives his famous "malaise" speech, where he characterizes the greatest threat to the country as "this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation."

2002 – "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh pleads guilty to supplying aid to the enemy and to possession of explosives during the commission of a felony.

2003 – AOL Time Warner disbands Netscape Communications Corporation. The Mozilla Foundation is established on the same day.

re: #66 iceweasel

Yep. They refer to them inhouse as 'deadbeats'.

There is something wrong with an industry that can't make money by taking 3% off the top of every transaction by a creditworthy customer. There is something wrong with an industry that works itself into moral indignation when it can't charge usurious interest--during a historical recession.

Graffiti vandals tag "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign

It's the iconic neon symbol of Las Vegas like you've probably never seen it before.

For the first time in more than a decade, the sign that welcomes visitors to "fabulous" Las Vegas has suffered an ugly attack by vandals.

News 3's Steve Crupi reports that a reward is being offered to catch the taggers: $500 is reserved for information leading to those responsible for the red lettering scrawled on the sign and sign post.

An electronic billboard along the US 95 is already advertising the reward.

There aren't too many public works of art in our city. It's not quite the Mona Lisa, but it's a symbol of the city that has earned a place of respect and honor around the globe.

And from the moment this attack was discovered, people started reacting with disgust and dismay.

"Graffiti has got to stop," says a tourist. "That's sad."

Graffiti has become a bothersome and expensive problem in Las Vegas. A few years ago, Mayor Oscar Goodman stirred up some debate when he described how he felt taggers should be punished.

"I would like to chop off their thumbs."

Monday, we heard from others who had their own suggestions.

"Catch 'em, hang 'em. Let's paint the town."

"They need to pay for it."

The "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign was added to the National Register of Historic Places earlier this year. It was designed and installed in 1959.

Clark County buys more than 20,000 gallons of paint a year to clean up graffiti, costing taxpayers close to $30 million every year.

Plus, as Charles already pointed out-- the book is 32 years old, had coauthors, and the measures being talked about were all in the context of a massive crisis.

Taking the context into account, those proposals are a lot less scary. They're not being advocated; they're being mentioned as possible strategies of the last resort in a massive crisis.

It's like if we all had a convo here on the LNDT thread about nuclear war and survivors, or a lifeboat stranded at sea, and I said we might have to resort to eating corpses. Then in the morning I wake up and see people on another thread saying "Iceweasel thinks we should eat corpses! SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!"

I still remember during the S&L crisis in the 1980s, when they were interviewing one S&L CEO whose company wasn't affected by the crisis. When asked why he thought his bank hadn't collapsed, he said, "We borrowed at 3%, loaned at 7%, and carefully checked the creditworthiness of our borrowers. In short, we didn't try to be clever."

This economy is sincerely my greatest concern and getting rid of some of these congress critters. I'm still really glad Zombie did the work on that if for no other reason than to open a few eyes. Perhaps some of those newly opened eyes will look in another direction and dig into some other questionable person.

Hardly surprising though, is it? Have to say this for Palin: she's a polarising figure.

That's why I shake my head at the meme that the 'media hate her'. The media LOVE her, they can't get enough of her. They're delighted that she resigned and can't wait to see what she does next.

If by that you mean "make the left wet themselves laughing", I'd agree.

The left laughs at her. I realise this is uncomfortable for Palin fans to hear, but that is the truth. They're laughing.

Whether the left is correct to laugh at her is another issue.

BTW, what the hell is going on with Michael Steele?

Last weekend, in a sit-down with bloggers during the Young Republicans convention in Indiana, RNC Chairman Michael Steele revealed his strategy for attracting diverse Republicans.

Cameron Cowan of The Mile Hive, a Denver blog, asked Steele what his plan is for including "diverse populations" into the Republican party.

"My plan is to say, 'Ya'll come!" Steele said, adding, "I got the fried chicken and potato salad!"

re: #117 Sharmuta

I'd just like the GOP to return to sound fiscal ideas that win elections. I think we'd be okay if we could turn the tide in Congress. The people are ready for fiscal messages. I really hope we don't squander this opportunity, not just for our party to win elections, but for the betterment of this country.

Abso f'n lutely.

Sometimes I feel so helpless being here in California. Hard for a real fiscal conservative to win. I don't have a lot of money but I would even donate something to a true blue candidate in another state if it would help the country get balanced out.

If I remember right, they're also penalising people who always pay on time.

Sure. They don't make any money on you if you don't carry a balance. They don't want you as a customer unless they can charge you interest. The ideal credit card customer, from the issuer's perspective, is one who pays only the minimum amount due every month and maintains a high balance subject to interest. This maximizes the bank's profits.

So it appears as if the latest conspiracy story about President Obama is that he was booed loudly at the all-star game... but it was edited out, either for television, but maybe even in the park (over the loudspeaker.)

I kid you not, that is the hot story going around the NutO'Sphere this morning.

So true. I can't handle theatres where I live now; everyone acts like they're in their living room at home. Talking very loudly, answering phones, having whole conversations.

I can't do it any more. If that makes me a snob, so be it.

I run a 136 seat professional live theatre. Intimate and close up and personal. Performing area is at floor level, with a 2 foot high "knee wall" surrounding three sides. Theatre is 3/4 "round." There is a entrance, an opening, in the knee wall at stage left and right.

We have people walk right across the stage (24 feet wide) to get to seats on the other side of the room. We even have a sign at each knee wall opening "Please do not cross the stage." Doesn't help, some people cross anyway.

Last Friday night, after intermission, a guy is on audience right, talking to a friend. House lights go to half, out, pre-art warmer lights starts to go to black, HE DECIDES IT"S TIME TO SIT DOWN, HEADS ACROSS THE STAGE TO THE OTHER SIDE. In the dark, he collides with two actors getting into places. Lights come up, two actors are not yet in place.

People clip finger nails in their seats, spill drinks (yes we serve booze and they can take it to their seats, I find gum on the carpet (yes, these are adults), people who bring leftovers from supper to their seats in their handbags and eat during a performance... and I could go on forever.

Walter, i'm shocked, but sadly not surprised.

What's really amazing is that in general live theatre audiences are going to be more polite than those at the local dodecaplex to see a blockbuster film. Aren't they? People who are bothering to go to live theatre (and you would know and have all the stats on it) trend higher in terms of income, education, etc.

Yet even in live theatre I see appalling behaviour from some audience members, shocking, utterly insulting to the artists performing and also to the other audience members.

re: #185 BatGuano

Nope, and we have a producer who takes the "customer is always right" mantra to the extreme.

3 weeks ago, I had a Equity card holding actor cross the stage, before the show started, and I was on the floor helping seat people. I stopped him halfway across the stage and asked him not to cross the stage. He continued on.

10 minutes later he walks into MY CONTROL BOOTH, and starts yelling at me for embarrassing him in public. I finally told him my name and said "speak to the producers with your concerns."

I got in trouble for not "defusing" the situation. He got free tickets to a future show.

re: #183 Walter L. Newton

Reminds me of apartment tenants. They expect other people to clean up after them for the most part. I know even in movie theaters I would always take the cup back with me and toss it in the trash -- it's easy to do and the right thing to do.

I agree. The theatre critic for the Denver Post did an article about 2 months ago, on this very subject. And he pointed out that a big part of the problem is producers/managers who encourage patrons to behave badly because they never put their foot down and attempt to stop bad behavior.

Of course, my producer saw the article as crap. Of course, my producer is very guilty of managing our patrons in the very way that the theatre reporter was pointing out as being problematic.

All you need is a type of program called an "RSS Reader" (usually they're free, unless they offer some extremely unique features).

First, check the manual/help section for your browser. Many modern browsers can read RSS feeds as a built-in feature, or you can easily add a plug-in.

There are also many sites (Bloglines/Excite MIX/fwicki/Google Reader - Homepage/Netvibes/Newsalloy/Newsgator/Rojo to name just a few) that will help keep you up to date on your favorite sites.

How do you want to be able to read your RSS feeds? In a browser? In a separate program? Go to a dedicated website?

RSS Feeds are pretty simple to read, but you do need a way to read them that suits your needs best.

Bloomberg Slams Clinton: She Stabbed NYC In Back

Hillary Clinton was accused Monday of stabbing the Big Apple in the back.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said her betrayal has cost the city $260 million in lost tax revenues and counting.

It didn't take long for Clinton to double cross New York City. Six months into her tenure as secretary of state she has suddenly exempted diplomats from paying some property taxes here.

"It is totally unfair," Bloomberg said.

The mayor said it's not only a double cross but a double flip flop. As New York's junior senator, Clinton fought to make diplomats pay up. And he said her reversal changes a longstanding policy.

"Since 1873 they've been saying this is taxable," Bloomberg said...

I love it when Democrats fight with each other. No wait. Is Bloomberg a Democrat?
