The Lighter Side of...
Author: BobR
Date: 10/10/2008 12:28:57
There's been a lot of heavy news these last few days... Wall Street is imploding, McCain rallies are turning into lynch mobs, the government is listening in on phone sex... Since it's Friday, we thought perhaps it would be nice to take a look at the lighter side of the news...
First Up: In a maverick effort to show what a maverick he is, John "Maverick" McCain has gone all mavericky and mavericked his maverickness. What mavericktude! However, this has pissed off the original Maverick family. Yes, there really is a maverick family, and the adjective actually originated because of one of the family's forefathers. One of the current family members said: "I'm Fontaine Maverick, and John McCain, you sir are no Maverick":
Ouch. This is on top of all the musical artists telling McCain not to use their music. I guess he IS getting more and more like Bush - everyone is really ready for him to just go away.
Next: McCain has said that he knows how to get Bin Laden, and would capture him once he came into office. That leads to the inevitable question: Why wait? Why not tell Bush now, so Bush can go get him now. Apparently, one intrepid reporter asked the White House if McCain had passed that info along to them:
He goes on to summarize what he thinks the answers mean. It's interesting, though, that the White House thinks that McCain stating he knows how to capture bin Laden is related to the campaign and not national security. That would seem to be a clear statement that McCain is full of bullshit. Perhaps it's maverick bullshit.
If McCain is Maverick-lite, the other half of the ticket needs a moniker too. How about Betty, as in "Betty Boop"? That's who CNN is comparing her to with all that blinkin' winking:
Still - we're sure all that winking appeals to Republican base. You know - they're the ones that think we should Give War a Chance, and want to turn America into a theocracy. They also seem to think Armageddon and the Second Coming are just around the corner. Of course, they're wrong. It's already happened. Jesus has come back.... as... a shark?
Yes, apparently there has been a shark virgin birth:
Okay, so maybe not. But perhaps the story of the fishes and the loaves is really just a play on the birds and the bees and the sharks represent... um... okay, I got nuthin.
That's not completely true. I have a smile, and that's a good thing to have on a Friday morning.
First Up: In a maverick effort to show what a maverick he is, John "Maverick" McCain has gone all mavericky and mavericked his maverickness. What mavericktude! However, this has pissed off the original Maverick family. Yes, there really is a maverick family, and the adjective actually originated because of one of the family's forefathers. One of the current family members said: "I'm Fontaine Maverick, and John McCain, you sir are no Maverick":
John McCain I know a Maverick, and you, sir, are no Maverick. Truly. I now know Fontaine Maverick, great-great-grand daughter of Samuel Augustus Maverick (1803-1870), and it was he and his sons for which the word was coined. And as she told me in my interview with her Monday night, October 6, 2008 on KGO AM 810, "I'm Fontaine Maverick, and John McCain, you sir are no Maverick."
Samuel Maverick was a Texas cattleman, land baron and politician, so influential that he was one of the signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Fiercely independent and equally liberal. Sam became well known for what he didn't do, however. It seems, according to Fontaine, that he had taken some cattle in lieu of a debt he was owed. He let them roam on an island off of Texas, and for whatever reason, didn't brand them. So, any unbranded cattle became known as Maverick's. Now, this more than likely wasn't an act of revolt. No one knows for sure, but Maverick really wasn't much of a cattleman. He was also shrewd, later on in life if cattle weren't branded, he would often claim them.
Sam was also very spirited and free minded. It was because of this that in 1867 the term Maverick was first cited as being used to describe someone with an independent streak, someone not branded.
Ouch. This is on top of all the musical artists telling McCain not to use their music. I guess he IS getting more and more like Bush - everyone is really ready for him to just go away.
Next: McCain has said that he knows how to get Bin Laden, and would capture him once he came into office. That leads to the inevitable question: Why wait? Why not tell Bush now, so Bush can go get him now. Apparently, one intrepid reporter asked the White House if McCain had passed that info along to them:
In last Tuesday's presidential debate, John McCain said that that he will "get Osama bin Laden, my friends." He's been promising that for over a year, but it was only a couple of months ago that someone finally pressed him to describe what he would do differently than President Bush. McCain replied: "I know how to improve our capabilities so that we will capture Osama bin Laden."
That made me wonder whether McCain has shared this critically important knowledge with the President, so today I went to the White House and asked. Here is my conversation with Press Secretary Dana Perino:
Q John McCain said recently that he knows how to get Osama bin Laden. And a couple of months ago he said that he knows how to improve our capabilities so that we would capture bin Laden. Has Senator McCain shared his knowledge with the president?
MS. PERINO: Maybe you haven't been here. I've been very astute at not getting involved in the 2008 election, and I'm not going to start now.
Q It has nothing to do with the elections.
MS. PERINO: Yeah, it does. It has everything to do with the election. That's exactly why you're asking the question. And I'm not going to answer it.
He goes on to summarize what he thinks the answers mean. It's interesting, though, that the White House thinks that McCain stating he knows how to capture bin Laden is related to the campaign and not national security. That would seem to be a clear statement that McCain is full of bullshit. Perhaps it's maverick bullshit.
If McCain is Maverick-lite, the other half of the ticket needs a moniker too. How about Betty, as in "Betty Boop"? That's who CNN is comparing her to with all that blinkin' winking:

They also seem to think Armageddon and the Second Coming are just around the corner. Of course, they're wrong. It's already happened. Jesus has come back.... as... a shark?
Yes, apparently there has been a shark virgin birth:
In a study reported Friday in the Journal of Fish Biology, scientists said DNA testing proved that a pup carried by a female Atlantic blacktip shark in the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center contained no genetic material from a male.
The first documented case of asexual reproduction, or parthenogenesis, among sharks involved a pup born to a hammerhead at an Omaha, Neb., zoo.
"This first case was no fluke," [no pun intended] Demian Chapman, a shark scientist and lead author of the second study, said in a statement. "It is quite possible that this is something female sharks of many species can do on occasion."
Okay, so maybe not. But perhaps the story of the fishes and the loaves is really just a play on the birds and the bees and the sharks represent... um... okay, I got nuthin.
That's not completely true. I have a smile, and that's a good thing to have on a Friday morning.

Morning, folks!
So, do I watch the markets and chew my fingers down to a nub, or do I listen to Momma and be all frivolous and junk?
Let's do an Unfiltered Friday Party Machine!
Everyone pick 3 songs, they should have something in common, a theme, feeling, mood, etc. Save it for the 11:00 hour and tell us about them.
Some new drink recipes might be good, too.
They say two thousand zero zero, party over, whoops out of time!
So tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999! (Clinton's penultimate year, I'd sure like to party like that again...)

I once picked up Alice Cooper when I was a cab driver in New Haven.
Alice Cooper had a cameo in the movie Wayne's World starring Mike Myers.
Mike Myers was a regular on SNL, and during his time Kevin Bacon was a guest host.

On energy exports from Alaska - I researched that a while back.
Oil exports at one point were forbidden. Currently they are not. However, Alaska chooses to not export it's oil currently.
Alaska does export large amounts of other energy - mainly, natural gas.

From a coworker:
LIQUID ASSETS
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.
A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you proud to be an American!

That's better than I'm doing; TriSec has some rage issues and I'm itching for a fight; I have alerted Mrs. TriSec that if her parents start spouting talking points around me, they're going down hard.

So ... She says it's time she goes
But wanted to be sure I know
She hopes we can be friends
I think, yeah, I guess we can say I
But didn't think to ask her why
She blocked her eyes and drew the curtains
With knots I've got yet to untie...
What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with
See ... it was just too soon to tell
And looking for some parallel
Could be an endless game
We ... we said goodbye before hello
My secrets she will never know
And if I dig a hole to China
I'll catch the first junk to Soho
What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with
Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure
Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees
I'm between the poles and the equator
Don't send no private investigator to find me please
'Less he speaks Chinese
And can dance like Astaire overseas
OK
What if I was...

My first job out of undergraduate school was as a gopher at People Magazine. While working there, my boss took me out to lunch at a great Cuban restaurant where we spotted Kevin Bacon dining also - one degree, although over 25 years ago :P
Does it still count ? I think Kevin Bacon was in a Broadway or an Off-Broadway play at the time...

Had a dream. I think this song has a lot of meaning in these times.
Grumpymann on 10/10/2008 14:33:12
Yeah!
Had a dream I was born
To be naked in the eye of the storm
And now it's standing right in front of me
What's it going to do to me, who knows?
Had a dream it was time
To be taken to the front of the line
Well, that is not a place you wanna be
Sleeping with the enemy, you know
I don't care what the future brings
Give a damn about anything
I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone
But it's time, gotta take a stance
'Cause I won't get a second chance
And I know now I have to make it alone
Oooh, dadideda
Had a dream it was war
And they couldn't tell me what it was for
But it was something they could lie about
Something we could die about, you know
Anytime, anyplace
When you look that man in the face
Well, it is not a face you wanna see
Sleeping with the enemy, you know
Take it home
Mary, can you hear me?
Can you tell me what it's all supposed to mean?
Holding out a photograph of all that I have seen
I wish I could hold you, I wish I could hold you
Hey!
Had a dream it was time
To be a witness at the scene of the crime
Well, that is something you can analyse
Something you can criticise, who knows?
So we wait, hesitate
And we're making such a mistake
Oh, whatever can the matter be
Sleeping with the enemy, you know
I don't care what the future brings
Give a damn about anything
I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone
But it's time, gotta take a stance
'Cause I won't get a second chance
And I know now I have to make it alone
Yeah!
Oooh

The only Christianity you need to know:
That's all.
"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
That's all.

Looking at what a wreck Bush is now, I really think that he doesn't want to be President anymore. That may be the only reassurance that he will pull something to stay in power unless they can rig it for McCain to take over.

The problem is that McCain has not STARTED his team.
He has said he's more focused on "Winning" the election (By any means necessary).
Sounds a lot like the war.
Looks like both are a lost cause.

Oh, and since it's after 11:00, did we all do our songs?
“Freddie Freeloader”, Miles Davis
This is it. The one reason why I play Jazz. The high E in the trumpet solo still sends shivers down my spine; it’s the one tune I have endlessly studied, practiced, played….it’s my whole reason for picking up a trumpet in the first place.
“In the Mood”, Glenn Miller
In the 1980s, I was in the habit of listening to WBZ news after lunch. Flipping the switch on my old walkman back to FM, directly opposite the dial was WGBH. Ron Della Chiasa hosted the show “Music America” at that time, mostly jazz standards and the great American songbook. Anyway, one day I flipped the switch and got Glenn Miller. Being from a jazz family, I grew up with this stuff and decided to listen to the rest of the show that day. Anyway, the rest is history.
“Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue”, Duke Ellingon, Live at Newport
Most of you know one of my maxims, “It’s impossible to feel gloomy whilst listening to Duke Ellington”. This is the nuclear weapon. One of a handful of tunes that make me sit up and listen in open-mouthed awe.
Alas, no new drink recipes from me today.

"Michael Penn"
Married to Aimee Mann
"Magnolia"
Wrote the sound track to the movie (Actually the movie was written to the album of the same name. The writer of the movie said he wrote the movie as an omage to the singer and the songs in the album. The line "Now that we have met would you mind if we never see each other again?" is not a quote in the song from the movie but the other way around.)
'No Contract"
After the band till Tuesday was bumped 2x for the relies of one of their albums and the band lost momentum. The band imploded from with in (Mainly from the problems from the loss of said momentum.) Aimee Mann went solo. After another contract dispute in her solo crirrear she went it alone in the music scean. Eventual to start her own company (With her husband Michael Penn of No Myth fame.) that produces her own music. But mainly to promote the music of independent musicians. It was under the banner of "none such" records her critically acclaimed and award winning album Magnolia was published.

Comments like this make me VERY nervous:
"It is absolutely vital that you take it to Obama, that you hit him where it hits, there's a soft spot," said James T. Harris, a local radio talk show host, who urged the Republican nominee to use Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., and others against him.
"We have the good Reverend Wright. We have [the Rev. Michael L.] Pfleger. We have all of these shady characters that have surrounded him," Harris bellowed. "We have corruption here in Wisconsin and voting across the nation. I am begging you, sir. I am begging you. Take it to him."
The crowd of thousands roared its approval.

This is a moment of maximal physical danger for the young Democratic nominee. And McCain is playing with fire. If he really wants to put country first, he will attack Obama on his policies - not on these inflammatory, personal, creepy grounds. This is getting close to the atmosphere stoked by the Israeli far right before the assassination of (Prime Minister Yitzhak) Rabin.
For God's sake, McCain, stop it. For once in this campaign, put your country first.

Of course, I was looking for information about how many planes he ditched...it's 5, as we all know. Perhaps one, the A-4 he was shot down in is a legitimate loss.
But this is rather telling from the article I found at that website. He's the son and grandson of legendary Admirals. Not a hero in his own right.
But this is rather telling from the article I found at that website. He's the son and grandson of legendary Admirals. Not a hero in his own right.
For 23 combat missions (an estimated 20 hours over enemy territory), the U.S. Navy awarded McCain a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service medals.
"McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat," explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and former chief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs -- the first official U.S. representative in Vietnam since the 1973 fall of Saigon. "Since McCain got 28 medals," Bell continues, "that equals out to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys -- grunts on the ground -- who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I'm sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison. The question really is how many guys got that number of medals for not being shot down."

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said political leaders are discussing the idea of closing the world's financial markets while they ``rewrite the rules of international finance.''
``The idea of suspending the markets for the time it takes to rewrite the rules is being discussed,'' Berlusconi said today after a Cabinet meeting in Naples, Italy. A solution to the financial crisis ``can't just be for one country, or even just for Europe, but global.''

Willaim F Buclkeys son
The son of William F. Buckley has decided—shock!—to vote for a Democrat.
Let me be the latest conservative/libertarian/whatever to leap onto the Barack Obama bandwagon. It’s a good thing my dear old mum and pup are no longer alive. They’d cut off my allowance.
Or would they? But let’s get that part out of the way. The only reason my vote would be of any interest to anyone is that my last name happens to be Buckley—a name I inherited. So in the event anyone notices or cares, the headline will be: “William F. Buckley’s Son Says He Is Pro-Obama.” I know, I know: It lacks the throw-weight of “Ron Reagan Jr. to Address Democratic Convention,” but it’ll have to do.
Dear Pup once said to me, “You know, I’ve spent my entire life time separating the Right from the kooks.”
I am—drum roll, please, cue trumpets—making this announcement in the cyberpages of The Daily Beast (what joy to be writing for a publication so named!) rather than in the pages of National Review, where I write the back-page column. For a reason: My colleague, the superb and very dishy Kathleen Parker, recently wrote in National Review Online a column stating what John Cleese as Basil Fawlty would call “the bleeding obvious”: namely, that Sarah Palin is an embarrassment, and a dangerous one at that. She’s not exactly alone. New York Times columnist David Brooks, who began his career at NR, just called Governor Palin “a cancer on the Republican Party.”
As for Kathleen, she has to date received 12,000 (quite literally) foam-at-the-mouth hate-emails. One correspondent, if that’s quite the right word, suggested that Kathleen’s mother should have aborted her and tossed the fetus into a Dumpster. There’s Socratic dialogue for you. Dear Pup once said to me sighfully after a right-winger who fancied himself a WFB protégé had said something transcendently and provocatively cretinous, “You know, I’ve spent my entire life time separating the Right from the kooks.” Well, the dear man did his best. At any rate, I don’t have the kidney at the moment for 12,000 emails saying how good it is he’s no longer alive to see his Judas of a son endorse for the presidency a covert Muslim who pals around with the Weather Underground. So, you’re reading it here first.
As to the particulars, assuming anyone gives a fig, here goes:
I have known John McCain personally since 1982. I wrote a well-received speech for him. Earlier this year, I wrote in The New York Times—I’m beginning to sound like Paul Krugman, who cannot begin a column without saying, “As I warned the world in my last column...”—a highly favorable Op-Ed about McCain, taking Rush Limbaugh and the others in the Right Wing Sanhedrin to task for going after McCain for being insufficiently conservative. I don’t—still—doubt that McCain’s instincts remain fundamentally conservative. But the problem is otherwise.
McCain rose to power on his personality and biography. He was authentic. He spoke truth to power. He told the media they were “jerks” (a sure sign of authenticity, to say nothing of good taste; we are jerks). He was real. He was unconventional. He embraced former anti-war leaders. He brought resolution to the awful missing-POW business. He brought about normalization with Vietnam—his former torturers! Yes, he erred in accepting plane rides and vacations from Charles Keating, but then, having been cleared on technicalities, groveled in apology before the nation. He told me across a lunch table, “The Keating business was much worse than my five and a half years in Hanoi, because I at least walked away from that with my honor.” Your heart went out to the guy. I thought at the time, God, this guy should be president someday.
A year ago, when everyone, including the man I’m about to endorse, was caterwauling to get out of Iraq on the next available flight, John McCain, practically alone, said no, no—bad move. Surge. It seemed a suicidal position to take, an act of political bravery of the kind you don’t see a whole lot of anymore.
But that was—sigh—then. John McCain has changed. He said, famously, apropos the Republican debacle post-1994, “We came to Washington to change it, and Washington changed us.” This campaign has changed John McCain. It has made him inauthentic. A once-first class temperament has become irascible and snarly; his positions change, and lack coherence; he makes unrealistic promises, such as balancing the federal budget “by the end of my first term.” Who, really, believes that? Then there was the self-dramatizing and feckless suspension of his campaign over the financial crisis. His ninth-inning attack ads are mean-spirited and pointless. And finally, not to belabor it, there was the Palin nomination. What on earth can he have been thinking?

You know, I don't know what is is this time. Sen. Kerry tried to stay presidential and "above the fray" four years ago and got his ass kicked.
Sen. Obama is doing the same this time around, but it seems to be making him stronger.
I believe it's the old Will Rogers saying..."Diplomacy is the act of saying 'nice doggie' until you can find a big enough stick."
Kerry never found the stick; Obama's got a few nice ones in his arsenal.

I think it also has to do with a couple other factors
- McCain really fucked up his campaign big time. Not just Palin, but holding back on advertising before the convention really hurt him too. He gave Barack a chance to define himself. Bush/Rove didn't give Kerry, or any other Dem for that matter, that chance in 2004. They were on the attack from day one. Kerry's own mistakes also gave them all they needed.
- The fundraising advantage, and the extended primary season. Even if McCain had been on the ball and run advertising after he wrapped up the nod in March when he was starting to get cashflow going again, there's no way he gets through the media blitz that was covering Hillary vs. Obama.
- The Palin pick. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Instead of going for a pick with a more moderate stance (i.e. Guiliani, George Pataki, C.T. Whitman) and sticking with that theme, he picked someone to give him base credentials that had no experience and was about as intelligent as an iceberg. If he really wanted a solid, experienced, smart base pick he should've gone with Huckabee.

My place is haunted too. I fell asleep while watching the game, but my ghosts changed the channel to BBCA to watch Monty Python. I think my ghost is named TiVo.
Gas was 2.999 when I filled up on the way home. I was just out to get gas for the wife's car and the same station was 2.949 (but they were closed
