(yes and here will come some a-hole ranting about Fox before I have to tell them I have not watched TV outside of work for 15 years)

I don't really understand what they were trying to do. My [probably feeble] understanding is that they wanted to invite the reporter to meet on a boat (which anyone who's seen a horror movie from the 80s or a porno from the 70s knows can never end well) on the pretense of giving her an interview about young conservatives, but once the reporter was there, the guy was going to pull some "seductive" Austin Powers bullshit that would make any woman either freak out or laugh uncontrollably. The Allen Funt cameras would be rolling, and somehow this would make the CNN reporter look bad (but not the creepy fuck with the strawberries hitting on the CNN reporter??) and would thereby damage the credibility of CNN?

If that's more or less accurate (and the email they reprinted seems to bear that out), then SOMEBODY needs to see a doctor.

Living on a Sailboat
by James O'Keefe on Sunday, September 21, 2008 at 11:50am
Freedom is, and should be, high on every human being's list. When living aboard, one usually develops an increasingly greater appreciation of freedom, a desire for more of it, and a certain incredulity at the average person's ability to give it up for bad reasons. It is easy to understand how mobility and independence from shore side entanglements are benefited by living aboard. However, it is often assumed to be an expensive lifestyle available only to the rich. In fact it offers a higher standard of living on lower incomes than just about any other way of life. Typically one can live a life that is similarly prosperous to that which you lead ashore, on about one-quarter of the income. The implications of that are obvious enough to require no more discussion here, except to point out that on a sailboat, traveling is even less expensive than staying in one place. This is because the traveler is less subject to the temptations and entanglements of the shore.

In fact if there is any one misconception that leads people astray most often, it is the idea that living aboard can be anything other than a minimalist lifestyle, for the most part. The live aboard lives on a frontier of society. Sometimes live aboards are on the frontier of civilization. The natural environment they live in is probably more destructive of structures, systems, and hardware than any other There is often nobody around who is skilled or knowledgeable enough to be of much outside assistance in problem solving. Self-sufficiency is called for to a greater degree than in most contemporary lifestyles, and the usual trappings of middle American life are very difficult to sustain and indeed become a nuisance. Big, complicated boats and plenty of money can obscure this truth, but complexity is fundamentally incompatible with the lifestyle. Even if one can solve any problem with one's money, the problems still occur. They also still cause anxiety and inconvenience . The more complicated one's situation and vessel, the more problems and the less fun you have.

The subject of living aboard demands the question, "Why do it?" Often the answer to this question involves adventure, romance, and freedom. These are certainly part of the lifestyle. The "adventure" part eventually turns into a kind of "in" joke. Most experienced cruisers and live aboards would agree that "adventure" is what happens when you make a mistake or are over-taken by events beyond your control. In some ways minimizing adventure is part of the art of living aboard!

Our feeling is that an appreciation of Nature and one's place in it should be the primary reason to adopt the live aboard lifestyle. Closely allied to this is the live aboard's primary learned wisdom. This is the art of adapting to Nature, accepting one's part in it, and to a degree submitting to it. This works. The other way around does not. Certainly the worst way of looking at life aboard would be to consider it conquering Nature or the Sea. No concept could be more dangerous.

All too often recreational activity on the water seems to consist of frantic athletic behavior or high speed transport, combined with a complete disregard for the Natural world. While these types of "water sports" are not all bad, they really offer a shallow and impoverished view of life on the water, and are not in harmony with it. Perhaps it is best to see living aboard as completely unrelated to this type of activity--in many ways it is not "recreation" at all.

Living on a Sailboat (cont.)
by James O'Keefe on Sunday, September 21, 2008 at 11:50am

The live aboard lifestyle bears much more resemblance to the commercial sailing life of bygone years than to that of the jet-ski crowd. We urge everyone contemplating the life to make the best of the commercial sailors their role models, along with a big portion of Henry David Thoreau. This part of living aboard involves no sacrifice whatsoever. The endlessly changing sea, sky, and landscapes and the plant and animal life one encounters are a spectacular and spiritually uplifting display that never repeats itself and always has something to offer. The lack of this in much of modern land living seems to be the major reason why so many electronic entertainment devices seem necessities of life to many.

The next good reason to live aboard is a fascination with seamanship, and boats. Probably no other lifestyle is as intensely centered on a piece of technology as the live aboard's is on his or her boat, and its proper creation, evolution, and utilization. If it does fascinate you, we need say no more, because you must already realize there is a lifetime of leaming and enjoyment ahead of you. Undoubtedly the boats themselves, along with seamanship, tie in directly to the notion of romance. We urge everyone contemplating the live aboard life to aim for a boat which, while practical, also appeals to you on the romantic level. Boats that are appreciated in this way are better kept, better enjoyed, and better understood by their owners than any others It is small wonder so many are referred to as "members of the family". We would not be so narrow as to say this is only possible with wooden boats, because that's not true. It does seem to be true that wooden boat owners as a rule feel this kind of involvement more strongly. We will say that whatever the material you can't form the proper bond with a poorly built boat. You are much better off with a beautiful well built 25 footer than a ugly poorly built 50 footer.

Let's be very clear about this. If you take your children to live on a boat you are probably taking them to a less polluted, safer, environment. They can be with the people they love the most all the time. They will travel. They will meet and become comfortable with and able to deal with people of all ages and from different cultures and sub-cultures. They will become far more self-reliant and self motivated than the average child. They generally turn out to be hard working goal-oriented people who at the same time are more relaxed and confident about life than the average. Because you will probably educate them yourself using correspondence schools they are likely to be better educated than the average student in today's world. Tom and Nan's daughter started reading and writing independently at about half the age that education specialists set as a goal for the best educational systems. We have noted that virtually all children brought up on boats turn out to be exemplary people.

re: #133 brookly red

Going after SFZ like that, for starters. Also, you're making a mistake if you support Paladino. He's a full-on asshole with a rotten streak and his idea to expropriate the Park 51 site is blatantly unconstitutional. It's a transparent bill of attainer.

Off topic: A couple of wks ago I attended a blues festival in Castro Valley (California) - for those who don't know, Castro Valley is in the East Bay (region has cities like Berkeley, Oakland, and the infamous Orange Curtain* of Contra Costa County) of the immediate San Francisco Bay Area. The city is south of Oakland.

ANYWAY, good music, and good beer. The only beer being served was the following: Coors light, Red Seal Ale, and Scrimshaw Pilsner. NO way was I bothering with the first (though Coors has much more flavor than Bud), didn't find the Red Seal to be a big deal, so I took a chance with the Scrimshaw. Fortunately the guy pouring permitted me to try half an ounce before purchase.

A light but flavorful pilsner. Initial taste is somewhat fruity and has a delicious hop finish. For those who haven't had a decent pilsner yet, give this one a try.

*Orange Curtain refers to the Republican voting block in Contra Costa County (Orange for Orange County in So Cal, and Curtain refers, obviously to the Iron Curtain).

Put up, or shut up asshole.

You are voting for the racist, sexist (donkey email) Paladino.

Admit it and support it. (or deny it!)

Yeah I am thinking maybe O'Keefe's associate had enough of his bullshit and decided to expose him for what he is. He really is a messed up individual. I think he loved being a right wing folk hero so much that he thought he could get away with this and the Landrieu bugging incident. Seriously, if I were a Republican this would be someone I'd want my campaigns to stay away from and not embrace since he's a reckless moron.

Army's largest base reeling from four apparent suicides in one weekend

(CNN) -- Four soldiers from Fort Hood, Texas died over the week. In all four cases, it appears the soldiers, all decorated veterans from the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, took their own lives, according to Christopher Haug, a Fort Hood spokesman.

If confirmed as suicides, it would be on top of 14 other suicides on the base this year. Base officials called a news conference for Wednesday afternoon to discuss the problem of suicides at the huge base in central Texas...

Can't they just use an abandoned mine to store this waste? There are salt mines which are miles deep. One such mine could easily fit 70 thousand tons of nuclear waste, or even popcorn (volume wise). Soil would provide perfect protection from radiation topside, and a thin concrete cover would prevent ground water from mixing with the waste.

If I still lived in my native state, I'd vote for the "inbred establishment cretin political insider" [note spelling--a "cretan" is someone from Crete]. He is more likely to understand how the system works (or doesn't) in Albany and use it to advantage, and he's more predictable.

There are ways to handle the waste, technically. Dealing with local residents, i.e. Americans, is a different matter and it's usually called nimbyism. I also think they should reverse the ban on recycling of nuclear waste. Given that we've become rather adept as a security society the plutonium danger should be far lower than it was 30 years ago. Otherwise, unless they figure out what to do with the waste they might as well hang it up.

Army's largest base reeling from four apparent suicides in one weekend

Wow.

fucked up.

re: #241 ClaudeMonet

Social reasons. Except for the occasional mayoral race, being a Republican in NYC is a lonely thing.

Brooklyn is full of shit. Dont waste your time.

re: #237 yasharki

Can't they just use an abandoned mine to store this waste?

NO.

The waste remains dangerously radioactive for thousands of years.

Water just doesn't percolate from the surface. It flows through the ground a different levels. As the waste material is water soluble (and if in contact with water will react with other chemicals and the new compounds might be soluble), over time it would diffuse into neighboring areas.

Additionally, you need to make sure nobody can get at the stuff, except for yourself in case you want/need to use it in the future.

We shouldn't really be throwing it away anyway - it's a potent energy source.

It's certainly possible! All I know is that *someone* in the sordid mess has a conscience. And it's not the guy on the romantic 24" yacht (snort) with the Champers and berries.

I think you meant 24' rather than 24".

re: #227 Gus 802

Darn it. My typing has been poor all day. Dealing with this crazy neck pain. Looks like the over the counter pain killers aren't helping much anymore. I'm doomed.

When I've had back and/or neck problems and have gone to my GP, he's told me to go to a chiropractor. I'm skeptical about chiropractic, but I have to admit that my guy does wonders for me.

It's like the name of the New Age book/charms/crystals/alternative medicine shop a few blocks up from my chiropractor's office--"Whatever Works Wellness Store". When you're in pain, whatever works is good.

re: #244 Stanley Sea

fucked up.

Sure is. Especially in that short length of time. I know the Army's been rather proactive this but they're going to have intensify their efforts after this. It's sad too that it will be ignored by certain segments of society since they view the open talk of suicide in the military as a sign of weakness. It needs to be more out in the open. With the general public that is.

I've mentioned it before but it's not in the spinal region. It's a "soft tissue" pain. Either in the muscle or ligaments on the left side.

re: #237 yasharki

Can't they just use an abandoned mine to store this waste? There are salt mines which are miles deep. One such mine could easily fit 70 thousand tons of nuclear waste, or even popcorn (volume wise). Soil would provide perfect protection from radiation topside, and a thin concrete cover would prevent ground water from mixing with the waste.

That's been proposed for years, and it's always been shouted down by the NIMBY folks. For some reason, every time I've suggested storing it literally in the back yards of the NIMBY folks, they start with the vulgar language.

Exactly. Banning the recycling of nuclear waste was a bad move. It's time to bring it back.

A chiropractor may still be able to help, particularly if "standard medicine" hasn't worked. Whatever works, right?

And good luck!
