LYRICS:

It’s been a long time since I watched these lights alone
I look around my life tonight and you are gone
I might have done something to keep you if I’d known
How unhappy you had become
While I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following through
With my beautiful plans

Yeah now I’m rolling down this canyon drive
With your laughter in my head
I’m going to have to block it out somehow to survive
Because those dreams are dead
And I’m alive

I want to go where I will never hear your name
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again
And I know I’ve been insane
When I think of places I could have been
But I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following through
With my beautiful plans

Standing here by the highway side
Watching these trucks blow by
Inches from my face
Yeah thinking about the time I’ve wasted
And the pleasure we once tasted
Looking up and down this road
I’ve been here before
I can’t be here no more

Yeah now I’m rolling down California five
With your laughter in my head
I’m going to have to block it out somehow to survive
Because those dreams are dead
I’m alive

Hey look at the way I believed in you
And loved you all these years
Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears
If you’d have told me what was in your heart
But baby you lied
And I thought that it would kill me
But I’m alive

As is predictable…all the other press folks online, especially Dowd’s NYT colleagues, are all crowing about how bold and correct this take is. They desperately want a narrative of ‘Dems are all hypocrites and thus really responsible for everything, so let the REpublicans do everything they want goddammit!’

The fact that Dowd still has a column and career is bad enough. But the rush for her colleagues to use this as a flashpoint to declare Obama the ultimate out of touch super failure of all time is just….fucking hell.

God/the gods holds the same place in my life as philately.

I don’t think about either one

That doesnt put me on one side or another of some continuum
That doesn’t make me an a-philatelist
For that, I’d have to give it some kind of consideration and acknowledgement first

Like thousands of other things I never have thought about

Law enforcement in Florida has arrested Gisela Castro Medina, a 19-year-old accused of helping a wealthy, young Republican strategist in Minnesota prey on girls and recruit them for paid sex.

She faces the same criminal charges as her alleged pal, GOP operative Anton Lazzaro: sex trafficking of a minor, attempt to commit sex trafficking, and obstruction of justice.

Both hail from Minnesota. But while the FBI arrested Lazzaro in Minneapolis on Thursday morning, jail records show that law enforcement caught up with Castro Medina that same evening in the Florida panhandle. She was labeled a “fugitive from justice” and jailed overnight, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Departmen

If you go over to Naked Capitalism, they’ll tell you that Obama was evil for not letting the banks fail by appointing Eric Holder and that sniveling weasel Lanny Breuer of the Criminal Prosecution section of the DOJ for just basically fining the banks billions for the subprime crisis back in 2008 and not jailing those who caused the whole problem in the first place.

But since most of of the US is (a) stupid, and (b) has the attention span of a fruit fly, people tend to forget these things. Anybody remember when the last successful Sarbanes-Oxley act prosecution was?

President Obama was not perfect, but he was vastly better than either of the GOP Presidents before and after him. The ACA is a lasting achievement which has provided medical coverage to millions of Americans.

That take kind ignores that early on, there were criminal fraud cases that were considered slam dunks….yet the defendants were acquitted. It’s apparently easy to bamboozle jurors with BS, making it hard to get convictions.

re: #11 No Malarkey!

My whole family would be uninsured without the ACA. Just for me, health insurance would be 1050 a month. That’s a mortgage payment almost. Now, if my asshole governor would expand funding and prevent shitty insurance companies from offering shit policies we’d be getting somewhere. The only choices we have that aren’t cost prohibitive are from Ambetter, which requires me fighting with them every damned time I go to the doctor. My son and I both get really great subsidies(the Husband went to Medicare 6 weeks ago because of his disability), but the insurance itself is not so great. I really hope there are more choices when the new enrollment for next year starts.

Seafood is a staple up here, with the plentiful freshwater fish from the lakes. I’m not a big fan of mussels, and I don’t like the effort involved in eating lobster or crab (but it is tasty once I do gain access to it).

Our county library system has a book sale every year. Most of them still have the clear library cover with the stickers on them. The rest are donated books to help raise more funds. They use the money to help update the buildings that need it and to purchase more books.

These were the Bears Stearns case, for starters.

Folks were thinking that the prosecutors botched it, but I’m not quite sure….Observers were saying they undercharged and they overcharged, so it’s not all that clear that criminal prosecution was that possible.

I don’t know about ya’ll but… the rage is growing. I’ve been struck by the thought that AM Radio dickheads desensitized us to ‘feminazi’ and ‘Vince Foster’ decades ago, laying the groundwork for more insidious and serious conspiracies and hate. ‘Liberal media’ and ‘teacher’s unions.’ Both Sides by the kajillions.

And now we’re now approaching peak necropolitics.

When making analogies to Nazis and the American right it seems over the top. It is to the undeducated. The Nazis started with ‘we didn’t actually lose WW1, the Jews stabbed us in the back’ for a decade. Then came the societal acceptance, then the laws, then the actual persecution, then the actual final solution.

I’m not saying we’re all bound for trains. But they’ve been talking about killing people for a long time. Even longer: they’ve been laying the groundwork to justify killing people for decades. ‘Liberal media, they hate you, elites, they want to destroy America, communists, socialists, racists, anti American, taking your way of life..’

That rhetoric will continue to escalate.

Okay! Sounds great!

It’s amazing how scary these Dunning-Kruger tough guys think they are. They spend their whole lives in a self reinforcing delusion that they are intimidating and tough. If they cut you off on the street in their loud ass pickups and you don’t shoot at them, they assume that it is only because you are completely cowed by their fearful presence. It is the same with literally every obnoxious, stupid thing they do, from farting and belching on up.

“Red neck, yellow belly” is God’s truth, true in Vietnam 50 years ago, true today.

The great secret of Confederate valor, in fact, is that the poor white men were cowed and over-awed by aristocratic officers, men who spent their whole lives learning how to manage their inferiors. The Confederate army was an enthusiastic user of “line closers,” trusted NCOs who followed behind an advancing line of infantry ready to beat or shoot anyone who fell out or ran. The Union army used them, too, though not as often and not as emphatically, simply because poor men had better recourse in the northern forces, while their southern counterparts had only slightly better legal status than slaves.

re: #10 Eric The Fruit Bat

If you go over to Naked Capitalism, they’ll tell you that Obama was evil for not letting the banks fail by appointing Eric Holder and that sniveling weasel Lanny Breuer of the Criminal Prosecution section of the DOJ for just basically fining the banks billions for the subprime crisis back in 2008 and not jailing those who caused the whole problem in the first place.

But since most of of the US is (a) stupid, and (b) has the attention span of a fruit fly, people tend to forget these things. Anybody remember when the last successful Sarbanes-Oxley act prosecution was?

Ah back in 1980 I remember when the Birchers and Leftists said Jimmy Carter was controlled by David Rockefeller and the Trilateral Commission…Even Penthouse Magazine got in on the Trilateral Shit…

I thought this guy looked familiar. He’s a known issue in Shasta county, California, home of Bethel church in Redding.

Speaking of Bethel Redding, A News Cafe, an independent news source located in Redding, did all of us a favor by publishing an extensive, detailed report on Sean Feucht on Thursday. You may have heard of Feucht as he went around the USA last year with his anti-mask “Let Us Worship” rallies. Last weekend he was in Portland and his security was the local Proud Boys. Feucht is a (former??) worship leader at Bethel Redding and attempted to run for congress last year but lost in the primary.

I’m truly astounded by the number of parents who don’t give a shit if their kids get sick or die from this. I mean, if there was even a tiny chance a mask, hand washing and social distancing would save your kid’s life why the hell wouldn’t you do that? Especially if those things are basic and simple. Literally the least you could do to protect them. These same parents I guarantee you don’t let their kids ride their bikes around after dark, ride in the car without seatbelts or a child seat, tell them not to get into a car with strangers, etc. But a mask? Oh no! It’s the end of freedom! They all deserve a punch in the head.

If you have the means to avoid why would you even send a kid to a place that needs masks? I admit big if there. Daycare, lunch for calories are a challenge for many parents. I can only imagine the heckling that will come from the unmasked kids aimed at the masked.

This is just my supposition but…

The Afghan elites can afford to leave at any point. I suspect that most of their money is not in Afghanistan any longer. The Tribal leadership has probably gone underground for the short term.

The middle class professionals are likely to be forced to leave.

The business folks are probably going to try and stick around as long as they can. Eventually they will find that the population no longer has any money and they will go out of business; Or that Taliban strongmen will decide they want to takeover the successful businesses.

The urban poor will probably have to return to the rural areas. The rural poor will continue to live in the Feudal Era.

The standard of living will return to pre-invasion levels and millions of non-Pashtuns will likely flee to neighboring countries.

A Mom Anon  Aug 14, 2021 • 2:22:18pm

re: #112 Rightwingconspirator

Part of this issue is directly related to a lack of affordable childcare all over this country. I know from experience:

1) when my daughter was young, I had to take a second job working at a daycare to have a place to take her while I worked my full time job. Eventually the daycare offered me a full time job as a teacher for 1-2 yr olds and a sub when a K-6 teacher called in sick or went on vacation. The place was a daycare/private elementary school that had no healthcare benefits.

2) with my son, it was apparent early on that he needed specialized day care. Which cost more than my entire paycheck. So, I quit my job as an assistant department manager at a department store and had to give up the college tuition the job would have paid for so I could get a degree.

If there had been viable and affordable daycare choices available I would have had a career and financial stability and a retirement fund. That would have made a huge difference in what the now and the future looks like. We also do not pay caregivers of any sort worth a damn which means kids do end up with substandard care before school age and after school.

This doesn’t explain the anti mask, vax and common sense buffoons , but if there was a stable childcare system in place, we would see a lot more parents able to get back to the workplace and make their families more stable financially. All of this stupidity is removing options for parents to get back to work safely. And it effects women far more than men.

Yep. The pictures and video of the anti maskers screaming at parents wanting masks and vaccines in Cobb County,GA showed people that were far too old to have kids in school. I’m 61, more than a couple were older than me. I call bullshit on a lot of their “concern”.

I have not tried to verify the cucumber thing with my very elderly cat. But after googling down a quick rabbit hole, this Newsweek article seems to be the consensus of the internet articles:

Cats are not afraid of cucumbers, but they get scared if they see a sudden change in the environment around them.

This is the advice I have been following:

Experts suggest avoiding making cats scared on purpose as owners do in the viral videos as it is damaging for the animals.

THE PATH TO FLORIDA, October 2004

This is a featured “old” article on Vanity Fair, and it gives a loooong look at the 2000 presidential election ending in Florida and the Supreme Court, as well as the many problems with the Florida voting system going into the 2004 presidential election. I found the second part less fascinating than the first, but it was all profoundly depressing when you see what Jeb Bush and his minions and the conservatives on the Supreme Court have done to this country.

I got news for the dips hit in that video. Most human beings don’t understand freedom, and they generally don’t like it when they do.

Why? Because freedom gets in the way of power. As the GQP demonstrates every day. When they say ‘freedom’ or ‘liberty’ they mean ‘power.’

Also that video demonstrated yet again that the authoritarians and barbarians masquerading as conservatives hatred of Marxism is based on envy. How they want the same power that the Politburo had. Or Putin for that matter.

I can’t celebrate it the way I want (fuck you, Covid) but I went to a local comic book store this morning for Free Comic Book day, then swimming at my favorite river spot and tonight I am having a small dinner with a few (vaccinated) friends. I’m still here, hanging in and healthy. Can’t complain too much I guess.

Happy 40th!
