The Headline Says It All
Andrew Malcolm, a political blogger for the L.A. Times whose only qualification seems to have been a year as press flack for Laura Bush, enters the sweepstakes for what GOP operative can make the most ridiculous arguments to discount Obama’s role in the demise of Osama Bin Laden with the post having the headline pictures above. The hilariously garbled headline accusing Obama of “misteaks” and “cnofsuoin” (Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle) is just the beginning.
Without a body, how could President Obama prove that he was The One who brought Osama sudden justice without the burden of time-consuming civil trials …?
So, although it meant only nine holes of weekend golf instead of 18, Obama OKd a May commando raid, as long as he could still attend the White House Correspondents Assn. dinner to mock that jerk Donald Trump.
So, let’s see. According to this Bush shill, Obama ordered the commando raid for his own political benefit provided that it wouldn’t interfere with his golf game or his social schedule. I guess that once the L.A. Times hired Jonah Goldberg as a columnist there really was no longer a limit on the fabrications that it will permit its writers to put in their columns and blog posts.

Roy finds the worst cover version in the history of the universe.
http://alicublog.blogspot.com/
There are many good tunes that Cyrus and her hired guns could have defiled as badly, but if they had, the songs themselves would have emerged from the smoking ruins more or less intact. This performance actually destroys the song. I don’t think I can even listen to the original anymore without remembering this version and vomiting. Were he alive and confronted with it, Lester Bangs would have spontaneously exploded into flying gobs of Romilar-soaked viscera. It makes me wish not only for my own death, but that of the planet, and that it could be hurled into the sun so no trace of this atrocity would remain to defile the universe.

“The One” = uppity.
Yes, Obama is obsessed with proving that a failed strategy to elect McCain is based on fact. He does not think he’s the one who got bin Laden; he thinks he’s “The One” and that he got bin Laden.
It never occurred to me, but although the campaign against Obama failed on election day, its particulars have been so thoroughly embraced by the Right that their political pros will be compelled to run the same campaign in 2012. Here, we see how one element (Obama’s supposed messiah complex and our cultish reverence for him) gets a quick-and-sloppy adaptation to the simple fact that he accomplished, with help of course, a major national security goal that meant alot to the people.

Yeah, I think he was trying to be clever.
Using certain interrogation techniques on involuntary wartime guests, the CIA acquired the name of a high-level al Qaeda courier
It is my understanding that they got his NICKNAME from someone who very possibly knew his real name and location, and certainly knew how to contact him, but they didn’t get that information until years later.
The CIA developed a plan to obliterate the compound with a salutory March flyover by a pair of B2s from Diego Garcia safely delivering smart bombs from high above.
Oh sure, obliterating one 3000 ft house in a city neighborhood without damaging or killing anyone else is a piece of cake. Also bombing a country is is so much more acceptable to the populace and leadership than a targeted raid.

I dunno if anyone’s gonna listen to my youtube link above, but–
The Portsmouth Sinfonia’s mis-performance of “Thus Spake Zarathustra” (Strauss) is a great illustration of problems in music information retrieval. (Everyone in the field has seen it used as such, and I couldn’t help using the clip to open my humble colloquium last year.)
The metadata is unreliable, but that’s not particularly interesting. Rather, we wonder whether and how automated analysis of the musical content (notes, rhythms, timbres) can identify this performance as a manifestation of the work by Strauss. These problems demand close attention to the nature of and relations between audio info. and symbolic info. (not limited to music notation).

Tyler became so family values-y he gave his actual baby away! And then used her as wank material when she was not much older than 14!
Also too, notice the article says that friends convinced Tyler to have an abortion. I wonder if, as his underaged girlfriend’s legal guardian, he was able to coerce it, legally or otherwise?

It’s true though. As screechy and soul shatteringly horrible as Celine is, she does know how to sing. Her problem is that she doesn’t know how to stop singing. However, Brian Johnson isn’t exactly known for his restrained delivery either – so in a way the cover actually doesn’t blow. Or at least it doesn’t blow much.

Here’s how I picture the whole thing going down if the Bush administration had run this operation:
First of all Bush’s smirk would be about ready to split his face open about three weeks prior. There would have been several hints and tips that “something big” was about to happen. Meanwhile, Osama being rather intelligent, though evil, would be suspicious and decide that it would be a good weekend to go to the Riviera. On Saturday when the military concludes that the weather is not good, “the decider”, would step in and give the go order anyway. The mission would fail, but we would get an announcement from the White House that in a successful operation the Al-Quida’s number three man was taken down.

Let’s not forget that one of the key points of Bush’s 7 minutes of silence was that HE WASN’T TALKING TO ANYONE.
this was not a case where he told his aides to do something and then pretended everything was cool while they carried out his instructions.
Card came, whispered in his ear, and then withdrew, without waiting for Bush to instruct him.
Bush didn’t have any input whatsoever into the situation for that seven minutes. He sat there and allowed his staff to do whatever they deemed best without a single bit of input from him.
Essentially, his staff felt that the best contribution he could make to the situation was to sit down and shut up.
I still believe, in my heart of hearts, that what Card whispered in his ear was “Something has happened, don’t worry, though. Dick’lll take care of it. You just sit there till we come get you.”

Palin is counting on a little-known fact. If your approval rating goes low enough, it effectively starts climbing again. -51% approval is 1% approval! Nobody but her has ever had the guts to descend into that maelstrom, though. Watch for her to shoot upward on a quantum-mechanical geyser of butthurt dis/approval.
(Don’t check my work for anything but unexploited humorous possibilities.)

I’m less offended than amused and embarassed for the perpetrators of these frauds.
I actually played in a cover band for a while. I played Sweet Home Alabama on my guitar (something I have come to regret and feel I still owe penance for), so I think I cut cover players a little more slack than the average music fan. But when Duran Duran tries to do Public Enemy, we got a problem. See, when I was in a cover band, there were certain things we “just don’t do”. The Beatles from Sgt Peppers on, Led Zeppelin, you know, things a bunch of 30 something dopes in a meat market bar shouldn’t play due to credibility issues.

Me either–and I think those tribute bands sometimes rival but usually exceed the performance quality of the original bands. One of my favorite bands to see live is Hells Belles.

Once (1992?) I was playing outdoors with a little jazz combo and an addled bum kept demanding Pink Floyd covers. Even if I had known any, I woulda declined for reasons tsam explained above, and because Dark Side of the Moon is a studio recording. My moral is that people may know what they want, but not what they need, or what’s good for ‘em.

Well, again, that’s not the point of being a Rock Star. The point of being a Rock Star is to have people applaud you jumping around a stage semi-rhythmically to some song or other. It’s all a brand of mainstream performance art and anything about the music is secondary at best, if at all.

That’s why most Skynyrd tributes/covers are pretty lame. No Billy Powell, that and most guitarists can’t pull off the interplay of three guitarists on stage at once. Furthermore, most folks miss the whole point of AC/DC, which isn’t Angus’ guitar solo histrionics or whiskey-gravel vocals of Bon Scott or Brian Johnson, it’s Malcolm Young’s rhythm guitar, which almost replaces how a piano is used rhythmically in blues bands.
Frankly, the problem with most pop music, covers or originals, of the past couple decades is the completely lack of comprehension as to what a rhythm section is and what it’s supposed to do. I chose to blame punk rock, specifically the Sex Pistols, for this phenomenon.

– The Republican vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee sees and is fooled by a widely-circulated and already debunked dead-bin-Laden photoshop from the Intertuba;
– forwards it to another senator who is also fooled;
– then demands to have access to the real dead-bin-Laden photographs, since he can obviously be trusted not to misuse highly classified material.

That sort of implies that he understands that torture isn’t something decent people do, or (perhaps more to the point) isn’t something scoundrels should admit to if they want to beviewed as decent people.
In this article, though, there is no evidence that he even knows there is such a thing as decency. If he were fictional, he would have written that piece while twirling his waxed moustaches and cackling MUHAHAHA, and the book would be panned for the uni-dimensionality of the villain.

I’d like to, if possible, get back to discussing the Portsmouth Sinfonia. My first experience with the Sinfonia was their part in the Dead Parrot Society CD, which was stuff from the Secret Policeman’s Other Ball. I honestly kind of loved it, being in school music at the time and understanding, almost intuitively, that this wasn’t just bad music, but bad music played with passion and a drive to try to sound like the original, but without the skill to do so.
My favorite is perhaps the medley they did with a 70s disco clap machine tucked into it like a metronome.
A small part of me wonders occasionally just how far you can take the Sinfonia. Like if one were to listen to the Sinfonia performance itself, dictate the mistakes they make in trying to cover the original piece, then give that version of the music to another group of people entirely. How long would the degradation take before it really becomes unrecognizable as the original piece?

You know a great deal more about the Portsmouth Sinfonia than I do. Thanks for commenting.
“Like if one were to listen to the Sinfonia performance itself, dictate the mistakes they make in trying to cover the original piece, then give that version of the music to another group of people entirely. How long would the degradation take before it really becomes unrecognizable as the original piece?”
The second and subsequent interpreters are left in a very artificial situation. The experiment (as I understand it) would entail their sequestration away from earlier notations, performances, and recordings in the series. The feel of the endeavor could quickly become distinctly unlike that of the Portsmouth Sinfonia.
Outside of such experiments, I’d say people are uncannily good at passing down metered music and even epic-length verse without distorting it beyond recognition. Notation and recordings are not essential if certain structures are exploited to keep content stable. Your Portsmouth Sinfonia-type serial degradation experiment seems to short-circuit the normal forces that stabilize cultural expressions, and so allow for stylized deviations from or around ideas. It could be an eerie journey into alienation and decoherence.
I think that notation and recordings already do something like your experiment. In the experiment, interpreters are given information about what to play, but are deprived or deluded regarding its previous context. The concrete mistake or witty variation is presented as integral to the work in the abstract. Notation and recordings have that potential to re- or decontextualize what’s represented or fixed in them. The relationship between an abstract idea and its expression collapses, as in a painting. Or something like that.

What Barton does not say is that the remainder of the treaty does not change the first seventeen words one bit:
As the Government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the law, religion or tranquility of Musselmen; and as the states never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mohometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinion shall ever produce an interruption of harmony existing between the two countries.

By the way, Manfred Mann’s “Blinded by the Light” doesn’t really count as a “cover”, since they released their version several years before Springsteen’s. He wrote it, and they bought the rights fair and square. Granted, their version sucks (although it suited the mid-seventies psuedo-psychedelic pop sensibility of the time when it came out), but technically, Springsteen “covered” his own song later.

No drone means the triggerman witnesses the kill and is able to photograph the results.
No drone means verification that the target is, in fact, OBL.
No drone means bystanders aren’t needlessly obliterated–like OBL’s daughter, who really didn’t need to be killed as well.
No drone means any intel in the form of papers and hard drives are collectible and usable.
No capture means no inspirational figure in the extremist millitant business gets locked up in Gitmo, raising questions about his treatment and further the worn discussion about the benefits and virtures of dehumanizing treatment and torture, and whether the resulting intelligence is reliable and actionable.
This isn’t especially difficult. Faced with the question myself, I’d probably opt to put an end to this business as well.

<i.And he knows it was not considered because…?
Let’s see, the taking of Bin Laden will certainly spark some terrorist activity. Osama being dead greatly increases the likelihood that the motivation for that activity will fade sooner as opposed to years or decades if we were to have held Osama prisoner in Gitmo or some other such torture camp. All things considered, I believe that we are much better off with him dead. The quick burial at sea was another well thought out decision. A burial on land, along with many other headaches it would bring, would provide a shrine to this terrorist which could be used as a recruitment tool for Al-Queda.
I would say that Obama considered all options and (something foriegn to whingers) all possible consequences and went with the best choices.

Re: Dennis Miller– we’ve been netflixin’ old SNL episodes. They’re edited down, but they always contain Weekend Update, and never any music, which sucks. Anyway, it turns out that Dennis Miller has always been a prick. He just used to be a bit funnier. “Hillbilly sentiments masked by esoteric pop culture references and an impressive vocabulary”–exactly, tsam.
I watched all the episodes surrounding Bush Senior’s Iraq war, and I was just saddened and embarrassed. Each week the show played directly into jingos’ hands. They had the “Church Lady” beat Saddam with a bat after lecturing him about stealing what he says belonged to Iraq all along (Kuwait). Dennis Miller made weak, smarmy jokes about bombing Iraqis, prisoners of war, the pitiable weakness of Saddam’s army, etc. Now, I can forgive almost anything in the name of humor, but looking back on SNL re: the 1st Gulf War just makes us look like smug, stupid bullies. Blowback? What’s that? Look, John Goodman just kicked Saddam in the nuts! And here’s Adam Sandler as “Iraqi Pete,” so funny.

I will give this to Dennis Miller. He DOES know his audience.
Note the subtly crafted statement “It’s LIKE they’re crazy.”
Now, he didn’t directly say they’re crazy, but that’s it (whatever “it” is), is only like it. He avoids the direct blowback that would invariably result from saying that all Afghanis are insane. However, a fat slobbering idiot viewer doing his best to keep up with the conversation, and perhaps having trouble hearing over the crunch of his Cheetos, will absorb the message that all those fuckers are all jacked up and crazy. It’s like they’re liberals or something…amirite? Mix that with the silly perception that this man is an intellectual, and you have a pretty effective message machine.

“MSNBC reporter Jeannette Walls is telling associates that she has obtained information linking Matt Drudge with a sexual preference for eggs,” Drudge wrote on Friday in a column that has since vanished from his site, along with his link to standing Walls column (“Oh, that hurt,” she scoffs). “He likes to have sex with eggs. He likes them smeared all over naked male bodies.”

Oh wait, maybe “froggish” is a slur against the French. Hard to tell.
That reminds me of a story my wife told me. In middle school she was instructed to prepare a presentation on a charity or organization of her own invention. She dreamt up the “Society for the Protection of Indigenous Peoples”–SPIC. The teacher quickly realized my future spouse had no knowledge of the slur, but some other students did.

He also makes a common mistake about the 1st am “congress shall make no law” clause. Since 1878 after passage of the 14th am, the 1st am has applied to the states also. Prior to that, there was nothing stopping a state from establishing a religion although most if not all chose not to do so under their state constitutions. This is con law 101.

Shame, really, that the Donald flamed out so early. I was kind of hoping his glide-path would allow him to coast at least through the debates, and even the early primaries. I don’t think he had a snowflake’s chance in Haiti of actually picking up any actual delegates, but he had a way of making the rest of the GOP field look even tawdrier just by being in the same room. I guess I can kiss the dream Trump/Palin or better yet, Trump/Bachman ticket goodbye. The trumpster has managed to corkscrew into the deck even faster than Giulliani. Bummer.

I can see why they’d want Herman Cain. After the way that last “CEO President” worked out.

May 6, 2011 at 14:20
From the liveblogging transcripts I’ve read, Cain gave the “common sense” answers to each question. Like “Government needs to get out of the way and let businesses create jobs,” and “Tax cuts create jobs,” and “There is too much regulation.”
Apparently, none of the three-stooge panel of questioners, Baier, Wallace and Williams, thought to ask what went wrong during the Bush years.
Oh, and also, too, Hannity seems to have thrown Pawlenty a lifeline after the show.

I believe Cain also advocates the “common-sense” cure-all of going back on the gold standard.

right-wingers use these fact-checkers to find out if they have slipped, and let an actual fact through. They can then fix that hideous situation next time around.

This makes “nigger” a comparative adjective.
As in, “Cain is nigger than Obama”
Or maybe it should be “niggier”
Either way, it shows the Repubs are totes not racist, and can produce someone who is every bit a niggy as Obama whenever they need to. That worked out so well with Michael Steele, after all.

He’s more avaricious than Trump and he’s divorced more women than Gingrich! He’s not only a floor wax he’s also a dessert topping!

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I like old AC/DC, and wasn’t sure what this show would be like, and I had a blast. They did a great job. I haven’t seen them with their new lineup, but I’d like to.

I’ve enjoyed the whole thread very muchly! Shoulda kept better notes, but here’s what leaps from memory:
– Steerpike and Chris on-topic. ["we didn’t treat OBL’s body with respect to preserve HIS dignity–we did it to preserve OURS". -- Steerpike.]
– definitions of ‘shitload’ as-formal-measurement
– CRA’s music-context analysis at 6:26 [rare note]
– cover bands (and song covers)
– hack comedians
– some familiar, wonderful commenters [known to me] seem absent
– some new, wonderful commenters [unknown to me], e.g, Spearhafoc, Helmut, Nymstradamus.
W-a-y too busy for fake trolling, though. I’ve been carving in time to read and enjoy S,N! from time-to-time. Wonderful thread, folks. As always, have fun!

You honestly described a matter that I more often than not really don’t care a lot about and built it extraordinarily fascinating. This can be a good weblog that I’ll take note of.
