Hey! Who’s the new guy?

something beautiful to help wash away the stupid and crazy

Priest Mongaku

The figure crouching on a rock beneath a waterfall is Mongaku (1139-1203), who was born into the Watanabe military clan and initially named Endo Morito.

However, when he was in his late teens, he decided to become a Buddhist monk and changed his name to Mongaku. To test his spiritual sincerity and physical endurance, he travelled in the middle of winter to the Province of Ki where he planned to practice austerities by standing in the icy cold Nachi Waterfalls for 21 days while reciting 300,000 incantations to the deity Fudo Myoo.

After 4 days Mongaku collapsed and was carried downstream, where he was rescued and revived by one of the messengers of Fudo. Mongaku immediately went back to the falls, determined to complete all 21 days, but after just 3 days he again lost consciousness in the freezing waters. This time two divine boys, Kongara and Seitaku, seen in the print, helped him up and warmed the waters so that he could complete the three weeks of austerities.

Thereafter Mongaku was thought to have special powers given by Fudo. Several years later he would befriend Minamoto Yoritomo and help the Genji rise to power.

Off to feed mine, because they can’t get outside to eat lizards.

Worrying is my natural state in life. I figure I’m gonna drop dead of a stress-related ailment before I’m 50.

I have his first recording, cut on Savoy with James Cleveland, in 1959.

The Bach part is fun. Well, all of it’s fun.

There is a purgatory on earth. It is called clothes shopping with a teenage girl.

You must understand that all teenage girls suffer from some degree of what is called body dysmorphia, in which even a 5’4”, 120 lb. girl will look in the mirror and hate what she sees.

The dressing room today had a number of dazed looking moms standing outside the stalls saying things like, “None of them? You don’t like any of them?” and going out to fetch a size 5 instead of a size 7 and vice versa.

Then there was the 30 year old mother of 2 who was trying on clothes from the juniors section. Somehow she failed to get the notice that she is a grown up. I didn’t care she was there, but it bothered The Princess.

They have a severely warped, masochistic, seriously fucked up view on how a Christian should behave and conduct themselves…any lies, any abhorrent behavior is A-OK so long (in their fucked-up view) as it’s in the service of the Lord.

It’s just a label, but it’s one they take for themselves. It’s also specific to a certain kind of conservatism. So I don’t mind using “cultural conservatism” or “social conservatism”. Same old bigots, different millennium.

I don’t think they are un-American at all, they have very strong roots here.

In fact, that’s the terminology they use for me. Like I really give a damn what any of those buttwagons think, but they have a history of loyalty-baiting.

There’s a real culture war, and it’s about kids being punched in the face a dozen times by their fathers and tortured by zealots and driven to suicide because they dare prefer the same sex, and like most wars, there are casualties.

Think of it as American Stoning. Because that’s what it is! Throw proverbial rocks at the queer in the name of Bizarro Jesus until they give up and off themselves, because that’s how you get around the whole “murder is illegal” bit.

I think that’s the dogwhistle. There’s the “fake” GOP culture war, and it’s whining about christmas trees and how greeting cards are worded on cable TV.

A Double Agent in Gadhafi Camp

For more than five months in a city locked down by forces loyal to Col. Moammar Gadhafi, regime opponents in Tripoli’s Fashloom neighborhood relied on a fellow resistance leader who told them with uncanny accuracy how to evade security sweeps and tipped them off to impending raids against them.

On Thursday, as a rebel advance broke Col. Gadhafi’s grip over his capital, the man identified himself to those beyond his underground cell: He is Mahmoud Ben Jumaa, a senior officer in Col. Gadhafi’s personal security force.

Some days, I’m not so sure. Maybe for the younger crop of conservative dupes it’s a dogwhistle. But anyone old enough to remember the ‘92 campaign and Unka Pat’s RNC speech knows exactly what “culture war” means: abortion, gays, desegregation/integration, secularism, non-conformity, etc.

O’Reilly’s idiotic “Christ out of Christmas” bullshit does work to cover up the more confederate aims of the culture war. But that’s not to say the rwnj are exactly hiding them, either.

I’ve had a few wingnuts try to argue that it could happen. Almost all of them plied the “market signals” line, namely “All she has to do is lick Big Oil’s boots publicly and oil prices will plummet. Hey, it worked for Bush!” Others have been trying to push oil shale as the answer, saying if she comes in and pushes for heavy federal subsidies and doing away with regs, it could become “cheap” before the end of her first term.

Some folks aren’t even on speaking terms with reality.

When I was at Fundagelical U. (3 years’ worth, feh), that was the goal - to develop a broad cultural power base to influence the country’s politics, the government, defeat satan, etc., to bring Jesus back sooner than later.

It’s one reason I’m still in tech, today…unlike a lot of con Christians they really take technology and run with it; they don’t shun it or shy away from it; there’s even a theological basis for it. That’s why so many go into televangelism.

Exactly. Not to mention that it would take years before shale oil got anywhere near $50/bbl, let alone $30/bbl. And that’s not counting the huge investment, from drilling to moving the enormous water supplies needed for cooling.

And that’s a best-case scenario. We’d make solar and wind profitable before oil shale becomes so.

And that right there is why an incumbent president who isn’t facing a primary challenge is so hard to beat. He can stand in the center-left or center-right from the beginning. while the candidates in the other party have to tack towards their base during the primaries, and only after the winner has locked the nomination can he or she start moving to the center.

I don’t think so. You could say that was part of the swing-state strategy that was exactly Kerry’s undoing. That’s why I have always been against swing state strategy.

But today, you have a bunch of disgruntled leftybagger progs who are also proclaiming themselves the Dem “base”, even though a bunch of them are still having massive cognitive dissonance over DNC 08. If the Rs refuse to run any normal candidates, if they know what’s good for them, they’ll try and get those people to stay home, and/or reenact those literacy tests and poll taxes pretty quick. Because that will be the only way they can win.

A friend of ours just bought one. I love the new Mustangs, but the new Camaros are bringing back my ‘hot rod’ persona.

I played on Mad Dog’s teacup ride

We were first faced by remains of four concrete outer walls - partly destroyed by Nato jets and rebel artillery. On one was written: “I thought you told us the walls were impenetrable?”

Behind were acres of gardens - with a mini fairground for Gaddafi’s spoilt grandchildren.

There was even a teacup ride and a carousel for us to play on. We also had a game on the tyrant’s table football, his favourite, which stood on the front lawn yards from his pock-marked mansion.

I’m looking at the flood zone map for Long Island, and I’m somewhat relieved to say it would take a Category 4 hurricane for a storm surge or flooding to get anywhere near my house.

Now here’s hoping the trees hold up.

I’ve been looking at the local maps, as well as keeping up to date with the local news. This area’s predicted to get roughly 6”-10” of rainfall before the storm’s gone, which is roughly what we got with the Nor’Easter last year. And while there was some localized flooding towards the small rivers nearby, this area stayed dry. The worst we’ll have to worry about is not being able to get very far for at least the first 6-8 hours after the storm finally passes.

Really, our biggest concern right now is the wind, and we’re praying that the dry air that’s supposed to be mixing into Irene will weaken the winds or possibly push her a little far back out to sea. At this point, we’re counting more on small favors than anything else.

Good luck, man. We haven’t had a real hurricane here since ‘85, and when I think back to what LI was like for a week after the storm hit, this storm freaks me out a little that it could happen again.

I’m hoping it just swings out to sea and leaves us all alone.

re: #216 Dark_Falcon

Unfortunately, I’ve got work and so does my sister, so leaving is rather difficult at this point. I mean, we both could tell our bosses where to stick their work schedules, but that would sort of defeat the purpose of having a job in the first place.

Doesn’t look like it’ll swing. But there’s a couple scenarios where it could weaken, whether due to dry air or by taking a more inland route to us, that would draw down the winds and minimize the damage to this area. We won’t really know until sometime mid-day tomorrow, if not later.

Say it’s an emergency, or at least ask for the afternoon off tomorrow. The latter they might give you, given the impending hurricane.

I might get away with it, but she’s got a night shift. And she works for AMC, whose rules are that unless you can get your shift covered, then the only valid excuse for not showing up to work is a sudden medical emergency. And even then, you’re expected to show up the next time you can work with a doctor’s note. Even for family emergencies, you’ve got to be able to find somebody to cover your shift.

Yeah, there’s a potential Cat-3 hurricane baring down on this city, and corporate expects that theater to stay open, barring power loss or mandatory evacuation. If you can make it to work, you’re expected to be there.

Amazing country, where movie theatre employees are expected to have a stronger work ethic than, oh, just about anyone else…

…and the moral of this story is don’t send your girlfriend packing when she still has the keys to your apartment.

It hurts just to look at it.

I don’t know what to say. In that case, I myself would run anyways. I’d rather explain why I got fired than face that sort of storm. But that’s me.

Whatta concept!!!! Durhh.

I’m fine with that if I’m not feeling well, but not in that sort of emergency.

So one day out of the blue you get golf sized or bigger Hail .. In May we got 80mph straight line wind with Hail
A tornado comes to town ( been there done that )
It is dry as a bone..Soon it will rain like the end of the world and my car will float away..
It’s 60 degrees in Winter and the Weather man says in the morning we will have a Blizzard.. My car is encased in ice and the wind is blowing like Hell..
Sort of like Winter in Star Wars 2..
You trudge to your car in 110 degrees and its so hot you can’t touch the steering wheel…This is stupid hot..

I worked the day after Isabel came through, back in ‘03. If my boss had told me to be to work during Isabel, I’d have told them where to shove that job. I’m tempted to tell my sister to do the same, because if Irene doesn’t change track or weaken, then we may be forced to get out of Dodge. Or, at the very least, consider relocating to one of the shelters being set up until the storm’s passed.

Golden.

This is just a pre goodnight note, but I was watching O’Reilly and that woman we can’t call with the S word.

I thought it interesting that they were discussing Buffet’s investment in Bank of America in terms of whether this was a political decision to support Obama or, incidentally, a good business one.

To paraphrase; “any business decisions made by unelected people (that was said by “S”) must be political if it might be good for the economy (and therefore good for Obama)”.

These people really want the US economy to fail. It is the only way they see a possibility of winning in 2012.

See, this is why the Framers made amending the Constitution so difficult, so as to avoid populist dreck like this or the half-dozen proposals put forth on any given day by the Right from becoming set in stone.

That’s it exactly. They wanted to ensure that any amendment would need both a long time and wide popular support in order to be adopted.

It’s some whacko chain letter. Here’s some notes from Factcheck and Snopes.

And it has a +1 now. LMHO!

Change “Islamic” for “Christian Dominionist” and tell me what the difference is.

Islamic police in the Indonesian province of Aceh have forced two women to have their marriage annulled and sign an agreement to separate.

The women had been legally married for a few months after one of them passed as a man in front of an Islamic cleric who presided over their wedding.

But suspicious neighbours confronted the couple and reported them to police.

The two women are now back with their families, forcibly separated and under surveillance by the Islamic police.

The local Sharia police chief told them Islam said they must be beheaded and burned for what they had done.

But Aceh, the only province in Indonesia that is allowed to implement Sharia law, has yet to adopt any provisions dealing with gay and lesbian people.

The provincial parliament passed Islamic laws authorising the stoning to death of adulterers and the caning of homosexuals in 2009, but the governor has refused to sign it.

Homosexuality is frowned upon but legal in Indonesia.

Activists have blamed Aceh’s Sharia laws for encouraging vigilantism and intolerance, and say they violate the Indonesian constitution.

People are always looking for simple answers. Ones that also absolve them of their own personal responsibility. Setting something like an arbitrary 12 year maximum will accomplish little to nothing. In fact, all it will do is fill congress with people who have relatively little experience on the ins and outs of congressional procedures.

This is why parties need their senior members to teach the new members the mechanics and legalities of the system. And 12 years experience, as you might know, isn’t much in the professional world. Many have 20 years or more experience.

Radar on.
