Vague Ass Baby
I’m back from Netroots Nation at the Rio in Las Vegas, where I didn’t have a laptop due to recent difficulties (and dropping $5 a minute to get online at the Rio business center or whatever it cost was less appealing than losing twice that much in half the time on the blackjack tables).
So I wound up spending most of my time by the pool, drunk courtesy of the cheap, shitty vodka in my ‘suite’ that I managed to transport via suitcase without breaking the bottle and ruining my inappropriately master class ensemble. Roy’s got some poignant takes on the NN10 happenings, starting here.
My impressions:
- Brad Reed is tall! He would have kicked my ass in basketball if we could have ever got that theoretical pickup game organized. Of course, it was supposed to happen in 115-degree Vegas weather, so probably a good thing it never happened.
- I am shit at karaoke. Epic fail. Brad’s pretty fucking good at it, btw.
- Our panel went pretty well. Amanda Marcotte advertised it as ‘funnier than Harry Reid’ – he was speaking at the same time. Seemed like a fairly safe prediction until we learned that he was telling dick jokes in the other room. Apparently, he hit a high note with a bit about Barack Obama, David Axelrod and Timothy Geithner all mashing the heads of their penises together, because that’s the only thing they still had left to do.
- The most incisive statement of the panel came from ‘The Price of Right’ author Alicia Morgan — who wasn’t even on the panel! Sort of like the S,N comment threads. The shorter is something like, ‘Making fun of wingnuts kept lots of people sane from 2000 to 2006.’ But much better than that.
- Pamela Mays McDonald of Cultural Cross Currents and Aimee Allison of KPFA (both of many more things, besides) are hella awesome.
- Roy Edroso and Michael Bêrübæ are both charming, dapper and very, very depraved.
- The Catholic Church and other arch-conservative, misogynist forces are killing women in The Philippines (and elsewhere) with their twisted policies on abortion. This is not exactly news, but just talk to Amanda’s partner Marc Faletti and his crew to discover again just how bad it is.
- Chris Chrisenberry has a money-generating platform for blogs that you may want to check out.
- Todd Heywood of The Michigan Messenger is kicking racist teabagger ass and taking names.
- It is possible to escape from Vegas with $100 still in your wallet (but just barely).
- Miraculously, I didn’t run into a single one of these people.
- I got called out for having too big of a suitcase on BART on the way home from SFO! People were like, ‘Were you packing a prom dress?’ and I was totally going to explain that it was the only suitcase I own, but that seemed like it would take too long, so then I was all, ‘I have a lot of video equipment’ … and now in the minds of a handful of people, I’m not just an overpacker, I’m a possible creep!

It doesn’t need to be better than that. It’s true.

I was all “Homey, E$ doesn’t walk across the room to take a piss unless there’s a four figure appearance fee on the table, and that’s just to start with.” Besides I made some phonecalls and it turned out Rach Rach Maddow wasn’t gonna be there, neither was Brooksy, neither was K.O,, neither was Chuckles Rose so basically what was the point?

People don’t get opportunity or freedom or equality or dignity as an act of charity; they have to fight for it, force it out of the establishment. This liberal cliche about reconciliation of opposing forces is a load of crap. Reconciliation means just one thing: When one side gets enough power, then the other side gets reconciled to it. That’s where you need organization — first to compel concessions and then to make sure the other side delivers. If you’re too delicate to exert the necessary pressures on the power structure, then you might as well get out of the ball park. This was the fatal mistake the white liberals made, relying on altruism as an instrument of social change. That’s just self-delusion. No issue can be negotiated unless you first have the clout to compel negotiation.
This maketh sense.
Sure, FDR and the rest were able to impose a “consensus” that was equal parts capitalist and populist – but only because the populists had been going after Wall Street louder and louder for the last forty years and after the Great Depression, it was “reconciliation” or death.

I wouldn’t negotiate with any of these fucking free market assholes. When the balance of power comes partly back into the hands of the people, then maybe we’ll talk. Maybe. Until then, it’s reconciliation, rewritten to mean, you’ll fucking obey orders and like it, you motherfuckers.

That happens to me constantly at work too. In the construction biz, there’s a general contractor and 20 to 30 subcontractors, suppliers, and field personnel, who are “teamed up” on the project. So the general will send correspondence to the whole “team”, and invariably, one stupid motherfucker will reply-all with a message to the general contractor about his/her particular scope. So everyone gets his reply on the whole list. It’s quite irritating. Those people should have to run laps or something.

Ha! I have access to my boss’s email and she subscribes to all these fucking professional listservs. I LOVE IT when people keep hitting “reply all” when they’re just asking to be taken off the list or whatever…and then people hit “reply all” and yell at them for hitting “reply all,” and then more people hit “reply all” and ask to be taken off the listserv because they’re getting too many emails…there are people with, like, 10 years of education.

This was done with eyes wide open, staring at the bus driver while doing it. Lack of functioning safety equipment (among other deficiencies), which cost so little in comparison to the total expenditure of drilling a deepwater well, end up causing the biggest oil disaster to date.

“It’s easy to say something sucks without offering a replacement.”
Unbeknown to Hitler, Himmler had spent the last months of the war trying to negotiate a peace settlement with the western Allies through a Swedish intermediary, Count Bernadotte. He informed the Allies that with Hitler holed up in Berlin he was the effective ruler of the Reich. He offered to surrender the German armies in the west but insisted on being able to continue the war against the Russians in the east. He even released some Jewish prisoners to show his good faith. Whatever made Himmler believe that the Allies would be willing to negotiate with him is unknown, but it is perhaps an example of the unreality of the world he had been living in for so long.

Read Further:
Disguised as an army sergeant, with his moustache shaved off, and wearing an eye-patch, he was looking to get back to Bavaria. It never happened. Soon after, he was arrested near Flensburg, ironically because, as is befitting a former Police Chief, his papers were considered to be in too good an order. Recognised as Heinrich Himmler he was placed under armed guard. Moved to Luneburg in northern Germany he was examined by British doctor who failed to spot the concealed cyanide tablet. Just prior to his formal interrogation he bit into it and committed suicide. His last words were, ” I am, Heinrich Himmler.”

JESUS. “Mob” is not a requirement any more than “by hanging” is, otherwise “lynch mob” would be redundant rather than specific. And I’d like to point out that these (INCORRECT AS USUAL)hair-splitting word quibbles are in defense of Breitbart, whose framing of the Sherrod story was filled with blatant falsehoods.

True. Which is probably why my boss still loves me even though I do the most half-assed job ever. Plus, I’m in a public institution, so people are ESPECIALLY dumb and lazy. I probably have about 15-20 examples of jaw-dropping technological stupidity if I thought hard enough.

Not saying that public institutions naturally attract lazy dumbasses–just saying that it’s usually more difficult to fire people from them, so the burned-out/obsolete tend to stick around more than in private organizations.

Randi Rhoads hawks gold on Air America. So you should know they’re stealing from “our” fucktards as well.
Fortunately, we live off the government teat so we don’t have the money to buy gold. Unless they take food stamps. Which they might.
Still, disappointing. Did she (and Ed Schultz) do the gold hype during their programs too, or was it just reading what the advertising guys put in front of them?

As for fastback, it’s where the roof line curves down to the tail in one sweep, like in the classic Mustang line. Think “Porsche Carrera” for a more esaggerated example.

You anti-American scum are going to pay dearly for the treasonous ruling by Moobat pig Judge Susan Bolton, this November. Hardworking Americans such as myself are outraged by this illegal usurpation states rights. 74% of Americans according to a recent gallop poll either support the Arizona law and dont think it goes far enough. This is a major issue with most Americans and it has a direct bearing on the appaling state of the economy that Obozo has failed to adress.
Book mark this libs, Conservative Republicans will clean house in both the GOP primaries and the general election. And Obama will serve the remainder of his one term as a lame duck President.

It is also in the laws of ALL fifty states. The Arizona law mirrors the Federal law in all respects. All Arizona is doing is simply enforcing the law that is already on the books. The states have the right to enforce their internal laws and to defend its own territory and provide for the security of its citizens. Immigration laws falls within all of those categories. And since the Socialist Federal government refuses to enforce Our Nation’s immigration laws, it is up to the states to act to defend Our Nation.
Thirteen states led by Michigan have already declared that they will support Arizona in any action undertaken by the Federal government. The American people are outraged over the Federal government’s inaction on the illegal immigration issue, and it is going to show this November.

No. It’s not. The only laws in that regard that states may pass is eligibility for RESIDENCY in that state.
I realize you are a product of the Reagan education era, and therefore never had to, you know, study, but please do try to keep up with those of us who stayed awake during civics class.

Will you still feel outraged if you manage to elect the people who are telling you that they will fix the problem but in the end do nothing of any real substance to do so? The consevatives have used this issue many times before and have many opportunities to address the issue and yet, the issue has still not been addressed.

When I was a kid, I picked strawberries (and raspberries and cucumbers) for a summer job. I can promise you that every migrant worker in those fields, from the oldest to the 8-year-olds, worked ten times as hard and as fast as any of us white kids.
I have incredible respect for migrants’ work ethic. I’ve seen it firsthand.

And they do all that knowing full well that at any moment, they could be plucked up and sped off in a van.
Unlike bozo here, with his air conditioned cab driving around truck parts.

Re gold frauds:
If the rubes ever get their heads out of their asses, a hard rain is gonna fall. Hopefully, they’ll wait until GB is hosting one of his “take back America” type rallies, so they’ll be able to keelhaul him.
Come now. Whom are people going to believe once they’ve lost all their money in a transparent fraud — the reasonable explanation that it was their own fault for being stupid and greedy, or Glenn Beck blaming it all on a secret government intervention?
Remember the Lottery Uprising in Albania, when 2/3 of the population lost their money in blatantly obvious pyramid schemes run by various forms of organised crime, then blamed the government in preference to themselves? Results: 2000 deaths, a new government, and (ultimately) an opportunity for the criminal groups to set up their own country, in the form of Kosovo

By “Our Nation” you’re apparently talking about one that wasn’t largely populated by immigrants? (If you, like me, have been fighting your whole life to get those dirty Irish people to go back to sorry-ass potatoland, then I apologize. If not, what exactly is your major malfunction?
Ah, Socialist! Because you know who also liked immigrants? Hitler, who was a National Socialist, which is just like regular Socialism but concerns the whole Nation.
