Still not back in the swing of things. I'm on quasi- Hiatus. But wanted to update you all.
1. The new blog will roll out within three weeks, maybe earlier. It will allow for sub blogs or diaries.
2. Seder on Sundays will debut in about a month.
3. I am starting to look real good in the Gonzo is GONZO pool. My favorite moment from the hearings yesterday was watching Lindsey Graham (sam gets up closes the closet door) offer Gonzo an incredibly lame alibi (paraphrasing)..."US Atty's got put on this firing list becasue they were having personality conflicts, isn't that the case?"
4. Abramoff continues to sing and now Renzi is reducing his workload.
While it's not criminal to be Republican, it's clear Republicanism is a gateway activity to crime.

Yep. It just goes to show that if you promote a cause and win the spotlight, you need to be vewy, vewy careful with your words whilst hunting wabbits. It's bad enough that your pre-spotlight past is a target. There is no sense is adding more ammo to the other side's armoury.
Like I wrote, I inferred a different intent from the toilet paper blogging (toilet paper and blogging are words that belong together, don't you agree?).
I have known a number of women who, more so than men, used toilet paper like an anti-radioactivity welder's glove. I assumed that Sheryl Crow has known a few too.
(I'm gonna eat some shit over that sexist comment, I'm sure.)
Still, one square of toilet paper is pretty worthless except to coagulate a shaving nick or twist into an ersatz Q-Tip.
Let me couch this another way; if you had to wipe my ass with one square of TP, it would be deemed cruel and unusual punishment.

"exploitation of the masses!
blah cubed,
I blew my comment about Sheryl Crow and the way that her blog comments were used to overshadow her confrontation with Rove. I need a second shot at it.

I am prone to hyperbole. I believe that most people are. It never seems to be enough to say/write "he had a heart attack." Instead, we tend to say/write "he had a MASSIVE heart attack."
Perhaps Crow was engaging in hyperbole when she chose one square of tissue? I know that, if I were the author, I probably would have started with one square, reread what I had written, and then upped the ante. When I look to the "Post" button, I try to imagine that it says "Do You Really Want To Expose Your Idiocy?".
That said, yes, Crow got screwed. She did the right thing by confronting Rove and she did the wrong thing by choosing one square of toilet tissue.
They should not be related incidents but they damned-sure are when they appear in the same article.
I think that I have written about this before now? Please forgive the redux.
A trucker friend told me a story that included a trailer load of rolls of toilet paper. I laughed mid-story and made a few jokes about a trailer load of rolls toilet paper.
He said, "No. Not rolls of toilet paper. ROLLS of toilet paper," whilst spreading his arms for emphasis. I had never imagined the obvious; small rolls come from giant rolls.
Ever since, I have imagined a Paul Bunyan-like art project.
Dada; call me if you're interested.
Paul Bunyan
Legendary giant lumberjack of the U.S. frontier. A symbol of strength and vitality, he is accompanied by a giant blue ox, Babe. He was credited with creating Puget Sound, digging the Grand Canyon, and building the Black Hills, and was known for his prodigious appetite, eating hotcakes off a griddle so large it was greased by men using sides of bacon as skates. Tales of his exploits probably originated in lumber camps, and were first published by James MacGillivray in "The Round River Drive" (1910), which soon led to a national myth.

Hey, Alice (and others),
What do you think about the French election method, i.e. more than one ballot process to winnow the candidates down to a winner?
It kinda supports the idea of adding "None of the Above" to the U.S. ballot process, provided that an absolute majority would be required to elect a candidate.
What I want is a process that provides for members of the electorate to vote "Yes" for this candidate or "No" to all of them.
We don't currently have a system that allows for voting against the choices unless you count write-in votes or apathetic non-votes as protest votes. Even if you tabulate them, the winner still wins the office.
If, first, the winning candidate must win a clear majority of the votes cast and, second, any write-in vote or "None of the Above" vote counts as a portion of the measure of what would be required to calculate a majority, then it would be easily possible to force another ballot and, thus, another round of choices.
There are a zillion different ways to create the same result; the French way, the None of the Above way, the Write-Ins count against the majority way.
I don't care which method is tried first. We can work the bugs out later.
I only want a way for the electorate to vote, "We don't like what we are being fed."
I need more advertising sponsors if I'm gonna keep this up.

This new media paradigm would encourage participation over passivity, collaboration over individual success, attunement to local differences over acquiescence to mass marketing, and sufficiency over abundance. The “new news” would focus on trends that support sustainability and higher consciousness, and relentlessly expose techniques of fear-mongering, social control, and “greenwashing.” Rather than exploiting violence and sex to grab at the public’s fleeting attention, our media would present strategies of conflict resolution and nonviolent practices, while offering a positive revisioning of eroticism as a tool for personal growth.
Responding to the necessity of the planetary crisis, the reinvented mass media would promote the attainment of happiness through nonmaterial means. Such a proposition may seem unrealistic — but at a time when our future as a species is imperiled, we might want to reconsider our concept of “realism.”

I believe there were 12 candidate in France, right? Not just Left or Right got attention I think...(considering Left & Right terms stem from there I believe)...that's pretty good..
I haven't put a ton of thought or attention on thier process..I can only assume that whatever it is, it's much better than the process in this country...
