It seemed like some sort of drug-induced fever-dream... There was Fargo's Marge Gunderson tarted up and playing the part of Miss South Carolina... "Oh ya" or "Ooh Key" she'd say in response to a question, then meander off-course and into an answer to a question not asked. I kept looking for signs of intelligence behind those blank eyes, but came up empty. It was a nightmare!
Actually, no it was not a dream, unfortunately, but the VP debates last night.
It was spectacularly frustrating watching her toss off a folksy homily and then lie or try to speak with conviction about something of which was she quite obviously ignorant. Like a true Caribou Barbie, when you pull its string, you always get a canned response, delivered in that fabulous Barbie way. You know the empty-headed piece of plastic isn't actually creating those responses on its own, but it's a great illusion. An not unlike a magic eight ball, the response may not be exactly what you were looking for when you asked the question.
She seemed a little more on her game than she has been lately with interviews. There were no obvious moose-in-the-headlight moments. There were very few fractured and incoherent sentences where her brain experiences 100% CPU utilization and just spins the pizza wheel. From that perspective, she admittedly did better than expected.
Of course, that's what happens when you don't have a journalist "belaboring the point" and forcing her to actually answer the question asked, and provide details. When she actually did address the question, it was certainly in the minority (probably countable on one hand). According to someone who has debated her in the past, this was to be expected:
Most of the time though, it was painfully obvious she was rote reciting memorized answers to questions. It wasn't a debate, it was an oral exam. When she said "say it ain't so Joe", I visibly cringed. How long had she been fondling that one in her jacket pocket, just waiting to pull it out? She also kept spewing out the word "maverick" in an almost Tourettes-like vocal spasm.
Joe, on the other hand, came across as smart, confident, informed, and real. He had a couple moments when he pulled out a prepared "zinger", but he mostly responded to the questions asked, and retorted the "facts" delivered in Palin's scripted answers. He was comfortable, cool, and collected. He looked vice-presidential.
To be fair, both sides occasionally played loose with the facts. With Biden, it was generally a small detail. Palin, however, delivered some real whoppers. Some examples:
The big moment of the debate (as noted by the pundits) is when Palin looked to Bush/Cheney for inspiration and claimed that they wanted to expand the powers of the vice-presidency. Considering the past eight years of the Executive branch running roughshod over Congress and the Constitution, that is a comment that should scare all patriotic Americans.
Ultimately, it was clear that Biden won the debate hands down. We can certainly hope it was the final nail in the coffin of McCain's whithering campaign. The prospect of a power-hungry vapid mercurial redneck one 72 year-old heartbeat away from the presidency is just too terrifying to contemplate.

When he faces off against Sarah Palin Thursday night, Joe Biden will have his hands full.
I should know. I've debated Governor Palin more than two dozen times. And she's a master, not of facts, figures, or insightful policy recommendations, but at the fine art of the nonanswer, the glittering generality.
Most of the time though, it was painfully obvious she was rote reciting memorized answers to questions. It wasn't a debate, it was an oral exam.

To be fair, both sides occasionally played loose with the facts. With Biden, it was generally a small detail. Palin, however, delivered some real whoppers. Some examples:
PALIN: Said of Democratic presidential candidate Obama: "94 times he voted to increase taxes or not support a tax reduction."
THE FACTS: The dubious count includes repetitive votes as well as votes to cut taxes for the middle class while raising them on the rich. An analysis by factcheck.org found that 23 of the votes were for measures that would have produced no tax increase at all, seven were in favor of measures that would have lowered taxes for many, 11 would have increased taxes on only those making more than $1 million a year.
-------------------
BIDEN: Said McCain supports tax breaks for oil companies, and "wants to give them another $4 billion tax cut."
THE FACTS: Biden is repeating a favorite saw of the Obama campaign, and it's misleading. McCain supports a cut in income taxes for all corporations, and doesn't single out any one industry for that benefit.
The big moment of the debate (as noted by the pundits) is when Palin looked to Bush/Cheney for inspiration and claimed that they wanted to expand the powers of the vice-presidency. Considering the past eight years of the Executive branch running roughshod over Congress and the Constitution, that is a comment that should scare all patriotic Americans.

Nice summation BobR,
I watched the debate, but didn't live blog - I've just tried to do too much multi-tasking this week and needed a break. But I agree with you 100% on Palin's performance - too cute by half :airhump:
Cheers,

Mornin'! Good post, Bobber!
It finally struck me this morning; the reason I was bothered so much by Milfy's constant "Marge and Miss South Carolina" routine was that this was essentially a job interview with the American people. How many interviews have happened where the interviewee kept winking at the interviewer, constantly talked about his/her hometown and chided another hopeful for not loving the company enough? And how many of those people got hired who weren't applying to be Hooters waitresses?
No disrespect to Hooters, of course.

Morning all.. 
So Milfy was jes' playen like a sea lion in the snow eh? The whole lookin' like an idiot compared to Katie Couric and Chuckie Gibson was all just a fakade! Kinda like how the whole Bush is a dumb hick thing is a fakeout - she knew exactly what she was doing and played it to a tee.
Unfortunately for her, Biden was prepared for it. She let her play that game and let her look good. And he looked even better, without patronizing her and without even acknowledging that she was part of the equation. And that is what threw her off her A-game.
Bush isn't the past Sarah - he's the present. He and his loyal goobers in Congress are exactly what have been root cause of the problems that we are now seeing. You didn't take that into account when you smarmily replied with your copycat 'therr you go agin' line. And as good as you made yourself look last night, the only people you impressed were the foxbots on Frank Luntz's panel.

Actually, the island is half dutch, and I believe the airport is on the Dutch side. There was no nudity on the beach when I was there.
EDIT: On Maho beach. There was one beach on the French side that was clothing-optional, but there are plenty of other "family-friendly" beaches to choose from.

I am divided between the Mommaless mooks (sounds like one of those drinking games went horribly wrong) or Lizz Winstead filling in for Alex Bennett on Sirius Left.

I saw that too, Joe was ever the gentleman.
Speaking of which, Mrs. TriSec has pulled out our "Emily Post" manual, and I'm a bit amazed by the amount of etiquette and protocol surrounding Washington. (Believe it or not, there's an entire chapter devoted to attending a state dinner.)
Won't it be nice to have and administration that pays attention to these things, instead of wearing a parka to a memorial and sexually harassing a foreign head-of-state?

What I loved about Joe last night is that he did not have to tear her apart. He was diplomatic... almost like he was talking to the enemy, with no pre-exisiting conditions. ;)

Morning all! Back at the Dem HQ. Good times, good times! I've gotten to meet Jsy McGovern who is running against Ander "Use Sack of Protoplasm" Crenshaw. As well as a lady who thought that was right on the mark when I called Palin a snarky bitch.
Yeah, but you could see both ears, no buds or trailing wires. You know what sucked? Not having anyone to vent at/ blog with when I watched the rebroadcast at 1AM. Liv and I IMed on Facecrack, but is just wasn't really the same. :wacko:
No, I'm not worried about the economy. Just because I had a dream where I tried to pay for something with by debit card and it came out of my wallet cracked in five pieces then I tried my Discover card and it was broken in half. Nope not worried at all.

The reason I say that is that in the beginning, even though the Vp candidates were away from the mics, you could clearly hear Palin ask Biden - "Can I call you Joe?" (which she never did).
And chances are, after the debate, she was turning it off so that her conversations with her family would not be picked up...

As a woman I am way beyond appalled when flirtatious folksy behavior is cited as holding one's own in a debate. If Joe Biden had winked at the American people and spoken to us in such a manner he'd be tarred and feathered in the press this morning as a condescending prick.
I take comfort that the man in my life was equally offended. His comment, once he picked his jaw up off the ground, was "Does this brainless twit really think I'm going to vote with a beer in one hand and my dick in the other?"

It's a fundamental right - protected by the Constitution. And as people exercise those rights, and the Wingers realize the Constitution CAN NOT stop it, they want to amend the Constitution. That's the only way they can block progress.

It's not unlike the typical attack ad technique of playing a grainy B&W video of your opponent in slow motion and stopping it when they're in the middle of a blink.

Erica Jong thinks Sarah is doggone cute!
Sarah Palin is a character out of Lewis Carroll. No one can translate that smile. She's the Cheshire Cat.
She says nothing and she grins triumphantly. Her smile lingers when the words have gone.
Nothing she says makes sense but the eyelashes never stop batting. Catch phrases and buzz words bounce in the air above her head. She adores the word "also." Also, she adores herself. She is so doggone cute she turns herself on.
She is the woman politician advertisers have been waiting for -- all style and no substance. Full of confidence and full of beans, the walk of feminism without the talk. Nobody can object because there's nothing to object to. Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro had ideas you could disagree with. But Sarah Palin is perky and inscrutable at once, you betcha. She talks. We listen but we have no idea what's been said.
She is the female candidate of GOP dreams. She talks, she smiles, she flirts, she never opposes. She makes mistakes but nobody seems to care. We watch her lips go up, go down, go sideways. We watch her eyes glisten behind rimless glasses. The beauty pageant promoters removed her soul so it wouldn't get in the way. How can we dismiss her or debate her? She's a bubble. She's fizz.
She is the perfection of beauty pageant womanhood. All image, no ideas. Camera-ready for hair and lipstick commercials. Her patriotism is of the Fourth of July variety. Let's eat a heck of a lot of hot dogs, pun intended.
She's pure as a sex-phone operator. You can fantasize but not touch. The bill comes later.
She reminds me of Paris Hilton -- who once tried to trademark the expression "That's hot." Will Palin trademark "You betcha"? Or "doggone"? Or "team of mavericks"? I wouldn't put it past her. Whatever happens with the "election" the endorsements will come flooding in. Maybelline will want her. And Kellogg's. And Wal-Mart. Some publisher must already have an offer on the table.

"Team of Mavericks"
Isn't that an oxymoron?
Given that a "maverick" is defined as "an independent individual who does not go along with a group or party", that doesn't seem very team-friendly now, does it?

It hasn't showed up yet on Rotten Tomatoes because there were no advance screenings. If Zucker feels this film is so important why is he afraid to pre-screen it or does he think all the movie critics have a liberal bias?
I loved the comparison to the Fox News Half-Hour Comedy Hour and we know how successful that was.

Visually - very cool indeed.
However it reinforces my opinion of jazz (that kind anyway) that it sounds like everyone is just playing sequences of notes that have no basis in what everyone else is playing. It's so disassociated that it sounds like a big aural mess. Is there actually a song in there?... any structure?...

Palin can READ. ThinkProgress NAILS what happened last night. (more a the link, as well as MORE links...)
This debate was a fraud. A fraud passsed on to the American public. How pathetic is that? She is worse than Dubya, at least dubya knows how to screw up on his own.
I remember in High School, this was called CHEATING.
For Sarah Palin, last night’s debate was an open-book exam. She spent much of the evening methodically reading and rehearsing answers from “carefully scripted talking points.” Palin’s notes were largely hidden from plain view, resting behind the lectern where she stood.
Because the cable and network television stations did not show a split screen of the debate, most viewers could not see that, during Joe Biden’s answers, Palin spent almost all her time looking down and studiously reading her notes. But viewers did see that when Palin delivered her answers, she would repeatedly glance down to check her talking points.

I told you my MILF story, right? (get out of the ditch.)
My family is from Mindanao....for the longest time, MILF was "Moro Islamic Liberation Front".
Imagine my surprise the first time I plugged that into a search engine...

I listened to as much as I could stand.
It started off nice, and then it became completely freeform. I can read music, which is why I found the video interesting, but it reinforced in me the notion that it's a bunch of rambly noodling, with no recurring melodic theme. If that's what you like, more power to ya, but to me it's the musical equivalent of 4 people having a stream of conciousness rant, all at the same time.
Big Band jazz, ragtime, dixieland all have structure, they have charts. The noodling is a solo that is not the entire song, it is a break in the song.
Different strokes for different folks, but avante garde and freeform jazz do not stroke me in the least.

I always thought the keys of standards were moved for vocalists -- to fit into their range...?

Visually - very cool indeed.
However it reinforces my opinion of jazz (that kind anyway) that it sounds like everyone is just playing sequences of notes that have no basis in what everyone else is playing. It's so disassociated that it sounds like a big aural mess. Is there actually a song in there?... any structure?...
:shrug:
go ahead - tell me what a philistine I am...
This is like me not drinking lattes, right?
We still haven't resolved why you would need to learn tunes in a different key...

Comment by BobR on 10/03/2008 18:08:34
The only reason I can think of playing a song in a different key is if there is a defined vocal melody that is not in the range of the singer. In that case, you'd want to transpose it up or down so the singer could sing it comfortably.
I have a lot of trouble singing most rock and pop songs because they're a little too high for my vocal range. It's not always so easy to transpose them because the guitar riffs tend to be based on certain strings being open. You can use a capo sometimes, but not always.

Bobber, not to pick a nit or anything but, Giant Steps is hardly avante garde or free jazz. Now Coltrane's "Accension" is a different story entirely. I listened to it once, no twice, I got the idea of what Coletrane was trying to do, break away from the constrant of chord structure and explore pure melody. The Big Problem with Accension is Trane also got away from time. There is no central beat to pin every thing on.
I still find a lot of what Ornette Coleman does to be very confusing. Some of his disciples like Shannon Jackson when he was doing the Decoding Society I really dig. But that is because it is really loud. Plus the very young Vernon Reid was one of his guitar players at the time. I saw them live when I was in college. OMG that group smoked! The ideas were flying around the club.

Ah, I'm all about modal jazz; that's very easy to pick up and a lot of the soloing seems to just float along. Pentatonics work over most of that, too.
GS is more of a rite of passage (It's still "ordinary" bop, but it's very fast and there's two chords per measure, so there's a whopping 24 changes over the course of the chorus.
Trane was doing a lot of what's called "change-running" over the form; pay close attention and you'll see the same pattern repeated over and over. That's a dexterity trick, used a lot during fast passages.
Obama's jet is climbing out; all the gear doors are open, and look closely at the left gear, it's starting to retract. Also, a plane at that altitude in the landing configuration would have full flap; the flaps here appear fully-retracted or down a degree or two at most. (Normal takeoff configuration for a jetliner is about 3º of flap, unless it's very hot or very high altitude.)

Ah, I'm all about modal jazz; that's very easy to pick up and a lot of the soloing seems to just float along. Pentatonics work over most of that, too.
GS is more of a rite of passage (It's still "ordinary" bop, but it's very fast and there's two chords per measure, so there's a whopping 24 changes over the course of the chorus.
Trane was doing a lot of what's called "change-running" over the form; pay close attention and you'll see the same pattern repeated over and over. That's a dexterity trick, used a lot during fast passages.

Obama's jet is climbing out; all the gear doors are open, and look closely at the left gear, it's starting to retract. Also, a plane at that altitude in the landing configuration would have full flap; the flaps here appear fully-retracted or down a degree or two at most. (Normal takeoff configuration for a jetliner is about 3º of flap, unless it's very hot or very high altitude.)

National Review's Rich Lowry think he's channelling Terrence McKenna on a DMT trip..
A very wise TV executive once told me that the key to TV is projecting through the screen. It's one of the keys to the success of, say, a Bill O'Reilly, who comes through the screen and grabs you by the throat. Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America

Let's just call it what is was, Sarah not only lied, she lied while cheating... that is even WORSE than anything she said to Katie, Sarah KNEW what she was doing last nite.
When she talked to Kaite she showed how woefully uninformed whe really was, when she spoke last nite, she still no more informed that the previous week, she instead, said what she was told to say... truth be damned or not.
She is a wretched human being. She makes the baby jesus weep.

Grrr...
Let's make ONE thing VERY VERY clear. The GOP is embracing Sexism --- they are USING it to try to win. You think her super sexy outfit was a mistake last night? That was the first time we got to see more than an inch below her neck in weeks. That was NOT a mistake. They are trying to drag women decades back in time.
Treating a woman -- ANY woman that way in not acceptable. And --- among many reasons -- why I despise Sarah is that she is allowing herself to be treated like a stupid bitch with a perty face and tits -- by the GOP, and even more, by that misogynist, John McCain.
Am I pissed? you betcha Scoopy.

So, according to Rich Lowry, Pat Buchanan, and such all the right-wingers think that men were like them and spanking themselves 
to their Sarah fantasies.
I guess that's why they think mAnn Coulter is hot.
On that note, off to the salt mine (if not the penalty box).

So basically Rich Lowry IS gonna hold his dick and drink a beer when he votes?
Pigs. PIGS!!!
And I can joke with the best of us... I know we were kidding about milfy... I do... but this...THIS???
Dude, needs to take his erotic fanstsies and go back to his bedroom. I really don't need to know that he along with the rest of ignorant redneck America jacked off last nite to Sarah Palin.
These men need to get this straight... Woman are 51% of the majority.

Good grief! Rich Lowry is an ASS!
And I just watched the FIX News video of Palin where she complains about Katie Couric "annoying" her! If she gets annoyed and flustered by Katie Couric what happens when she has to meet with Putin and his large head!?!
In that same "interview" on FIX she goes on again about how she's not a "Washington insider", well, won't she be one if she becomes VP????
OMG! How can she be so freakin' dense!!!

Minus the fucked up thoughts in her head, she is a milf, a rather attractive lass. However, after talking to her, any thoughts of her being hot would pass quickly. I've ridden a crazy train or two, but not that scary crazy.
