Thats okay  .......  Rose would say ..... The weathers nice  .....  in Gauntanamo Bay.

OH DAVID!

Give me a link or something or something will ya?

I miss ya.

Nothing to do with the question "To binge or not to binge?" but I came across this just hours ago, allegedly from a guy who also seems to understand the process.  Elmore Leonard's 10 Rules for Good Writing:

According to Greer, this...

As I recall, Curly Rand attempted to walk this rant back a few blocks.

These people are so very dangerous.

The problems with out nation's politics and government has everything to do with money. It has nothing to do with guns.

The greatest libertarian light of gun toting Kentucky Freedom in Congress, Rand Paul, Son of Paul,...

Did the AP find out that the DOJ had tracked reporters or were they told in a letter from the DOJ? Did the IRS admit to targeting Conservative groups or not? What has been covered up in Benghazi?

It may turn out that what the DOJ did in investigating a...

  It was reported that a quarter of a million left Kosovo before the Nato bombing. You've listed some of the reasons I opposed the Kosovo war(why are you trying to persuade me after I already said I opposed it?), but I can't agree that Milosevic was only partly responsible for the...

Benghazi?  IRS abuse? AP investigation? Telecom wiretaps? Drone surveilence? On and on, the abuses are uncovered. ..........   "Trust us, we're from the Governement, we swear;  if you register your guns, we won't come for them...

If you can point me to a place I said or acted like words have no meaning, happy to review & see if a retraction in order.

Words can be important even if sometimes "sticks and stones..." might be a better reaction, and sometimes people fall to the fainting couch over some...

Congress really does not wish to accomplish anything!

Just trip up the dems whenever you can and spend millions on messaging.

The good news?

If Mitt had won, all sorts of things would be in the works.

And all of them very very bad!

Batcrap Crazy Republicans are like bad pennies, they keep turning up.  Rick Scott is floating Allen West's name for Lt. Gov. replacement.  The last Florida Lt. Gov. had to resign. ...

Its ok to binge. Even if its not your best stuff just sit down and write! We can all learn a lot from this guy.

Yes. You still have to put in your time when the current's against you, but you also have to take advantage of your productive moments and make sure you get everything you can while you can. You have to make space for that productivity.

I think what I object to is the industrial,...

HAHAHAHAHAH

Eggsactly my point!

I support all the things you are talkin about, and voted twice for George W. Bush fore I realized he was a liberal. So then I joined the Tea Party and scraped that Bush/Cheney 04 sticker off my '84 Voyager.

I think you forgot though bout the...

Jeepers.  I'm the one who used genocide, and I am not friggin' wedded to it for the reasons AA articulated.  And my second-guessing of automatic isolationism does not in any way depend upon the existence of a genocide per se. 

I am glad, however, that you...

Another "give me a break" moment. If someone uses the word "genocide" they're using semantics to try to make an event heavy. Killing 70,000 people during an uprising is typically not "genocide" - especially if killed by both sides - nor is it "kindergarten...

   Yes, but excuses that don't involve your people getting massacred are less convincing as mitigation. The excuse for the ethnic cleansing of Germans after World War II (the Germans did terrible things to us) is better than the excuse for Nazi exterminations(they've done us no...

There was a major grand larceny case in NYC for "cleansing money" that finished up last week--article mentions that fortune telling alone is just a misdemeanor. I...

An example of genocide - when all the thousands of residents of a city are surrounded and captured by armed militias, and every last one is executed and buried in a mass grave (in an attempt to cover up the crime), as happened in Srebrenica see my link below.

• This pokies this is actually the most effective that generally there...

Interesting. I stand corrected. Illegal in NYC too, apparently.

I wonder how the film was pitched, as in the fashion seen in the beginning of Robert Altman's The Player.  My guess is something like "It's Dallas meets Moulin Rouge...I hear Robert Downey Jr is very interested in the Jay Gatsby role..."

(1) Kosovo, a part of a disintegrating Yugoslavia,  is in Europe. Syria is in the Middle East.

(2) Kosovo is a little over 4,000 square miles, Syria over 71,000, and well over 10 times the population.

(3) The Kosovo intervention was supported by NATO nations and armed forces,...

p.s. Also similar: the KLA, not always a group deserving of great sympathy.

But what if those same 70,000 belong to a specific targeted sub-set of the Syrian population?  Rather than being 70,000 out of 20,000,000; it becomes something like 70,000 out of 190,000.

Back in the 20th Century I read an interview with a playwright discussing his latest play - I can't remember the name of it, but over the course of the play chairs begin to pile up in a bar or restaurant, each one representing someone who had died AIDS.  What I remember from the...

x2 too.   Great piece.  I'm putting my money on you at the next Moviecritic-mania, where I'm sure you'll put a figure four leg-lock on Richard Roeper and clinch the title with a literary submission hold.   I wasn't particularly interested in seeing this...

Thank you for the very good points.  My income doesn't let me shop organic foods like I would like too.  So I have searched out a way to provide some good quality foods with a share of a CSA farm and doing some growing for myself.  It is important to have choices. ...

We agree on something after all. I did not get your tongue-in-cheek joke. But that's OK, sorry I missed a chuckle but I can handle it and I don't care whether or not you explain it.
  As to your assertion that I used "The language of the anti-union corporate elite"...

Fleecing is the biggest part in all this.

hahahah

Boisvert doesn't actually provide the math, but his article is probably a retread of Math Lessons for Locavores, a 2010 Stephen Budiansky NY Times OpEd, which was itself a retread of Food That Travels Well, a 2007 James McWilliams NY Times OpEd. In 2010, Tom Philpott, and...

Think of a hedge fund invoking haircuts & shears. It's not that the hedge needs growing, unlike other assets - it needs trimming, shearing, fleecing, shaving points.

Actually there are. There are numerous state and local laws against practitioners of "psychic arts." They are mostly unenforced unless large sums of money are involved.

So here's something that I think offers the kind of stuff that teaches and to your credit I found it by poking around on the links you have above.   I don't understand the whole uploading thing but here is a link to a Youtube interview with a Professor...

I'm confused.  Mr. Ruiz, the author of the first article, started out with an undocumented attack on "Big Labor".  But then here Jordan states that unions only contribute around 3 percent of the budget for Solidarity Center, suggesting that Big or Little or any Labor is...

As a boondoggly public-private partnerships that uses more volunteers than paid staff, the Brooklyn Grange makes more sense than the Georgia Aquarium which occupies 13 acres of prime real estate and is filled with a whole lot of salt water and a bunch exotic non-edible sea creatures, some...

There no laws against bullshite. 

I once had a long interview with a west village psychic who is, just based on her apartment a paper multimillionaire and based on her clientele (a lot of Wall Streeters) a liquid millionaire as well. She hit me with an amazing cold read.  Just stunning how much she was able to take from...

I've never seen a million bucks, so it must not exist.

People have scammed a million bucks so it must be all a hoax.

Not everyone who experienced "spiritualism" paid for it. Not everyone involved in spiritualism has been discredited.

But it's probably more...

I knew you were gonna post this. I see a post about a tall, dark man in your future.

Interesting that even after they confessed their hoax, the spiritualist movement didn't die.  People are always looking outside themselves for solutions or satisfaction and there are plenty of folks willing to help them out--for a fee.

None of your business?  That's an odd way of looking at it.  I guess you could say that about most of the stories that come our way but here on dag we tend to make them our business.

I've never understood the appeal of psychics.  I've never understood why...

My local community radio station did a birthday show featuring Robert Johnson a couple of days ago.  They played some of his recordings and talked about his life.  It is nice that you added him to your blog today. 

I have been urban gardening for the last 9 months and enjoying it.  I also followed last winter the local CSA farm's newsletter.  This year I plan to join and have been saving each month because it is expensive ($600) but I can also break it down in payments.  But it is...

That guy really is a hero and like you say most folks like him are ignored by the press.

And he really is a good, good guy!

Here is the history of Kate and Margret Fox the 2 sisters that started the Spiritualism and Medium Movement.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_sisters  It is pretty interesting.
