Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments Kinda a repost. As you might have gathered, when I’m not writing articles, I’m voraciously reading. This was one of the better pieces I’ve read, which translates to the domestic US scene and might be a bit more accessible to people’s interests here. Gary Sick on Obama’s Iran strategy and the heat he has to take from neanderthals for any move: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tehranbureau/2010/01/strategic-leaking.html Sorry I didn’t answer the question on Bibi Netanyahu. I don’t think Sick is saying he’s a fan (he certainly isn’t), but that the signal was an interesting one, and out of character – something to take note of behind the Israeli hawk’s usual bluster. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 5:39 pm There be replies. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 4:28 pm And the tortured movie references… I don’t need to hear about what you got in netflix this past weekend. That being said, he has his moments, to be sure. This was one of them. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 4:24 pm I like it too (and the pocket watch, not as fancy as mine, though). Can you move my OT thing from “Obama and the Google” btw? » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 4:13 pm Welcome. Love the name, and your daughter’s work. It is true what you say about communicating through art. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 1:38 pm New Planet Feature – Member Directory nefarious plot to absorb the entire lives of bloggers hehehe! And still with the pop up asking me to link with my FB page on HP. I’m starting to feel stalked by HP. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 2:02 pm Agreed. And I think I may have figured it out. I think saying what metro area I live in is sorta okay… but on the others I am pretty protective. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 1:24 pm Congrats. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 12:59 pm It’s toxic, and can feel the acid building up in my stomach. And sometimes it is in the most unexpected places – the comments comparing Michelle to a primate and such. In what context is that ever okay? None. Aargh! » Posted By Khirad On January 5, 2010 @ 10:48 pm Thank the good Lord! Maybe we can keep a safe seat, after all? » Posted By Khirad On January 5, 2010 @ 9:47 pm Sometimes I ask my Georgia-born dad about the more coded stuff, that they say “wasn’t really meant that way” – since he remembers the “what are you talking about, we love our coloreds” days (I will edit that if it’s offensive to any of you). Whenever, giving them the benefit of the doubt, I’m not sure if I’m overreacting he says, oh no, that’s definitely racist with a knowing voice – they know exactly what they are doing. It’s an honed art. I don’t need to tell you any of this, KQuark, but as part of the younger generation that helped elect Obama, and how much I intellectually know racism is still out there, it is indeed a visceral see-it-to-believe-it experience after his election. The uptick, that the SPLC itself has seen in the KKKK and neo-Nazi white supremacist groups. Speaking of, Pfffffffffotenhauer was just on with the same old talking points about Janet and the right wing extremism report dredged up from last year almost (wasn’t that like last Feb or March? how time flies…). Honestly, what is their problem? You need to get your eyes checked if you can’t see the fringes of the Invisible Empire are not-so-invisible lately. » Posted By Khirad On January 5, 2010 @ 9:40 pm Yes, but it takes them a while to swipe p and “see you over on another planet,” etc. » Posted By Khirad On January 5, 2010 @ 9:29 pm Ooh, Public Image Ltd. I’m impressed! Anger is also a gift, so says RATM:
» Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 11:34 pm I got your point K7 – I’m a classic ditherer who sees both angles, I was merely agreeing on toning it down, if at all possible. And, I wasn’t quite sure how to take the sing. v. pl. thing. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 8:03 pm Just another reason I’d make a horrible Buddhist. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 7:57 pm Second, though it has been interesting. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 7:33 pm I think we have ourselves a good Vox Populi topic, given the debate on free speech below. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 7:23 pm A tad OT, but speaking of hate, check the ever-constipated one out: http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201001030003 FU, you sanctimonious ass. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 1:57 pm Yeah, they had this on MSNBC. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 1:33 pm Good call. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 1:25 pm What was that first word, Congo? And what exactly was the point? Anyone speak the Teabagger dialect of Idiotish? » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 1:14 pm Agreed on both the SP thing and the “Betrayus” thing – for the very reason that it undermines and cedes our moral high ground. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 1:12 pm Indeed. » Posted By Khirad On January 3, 2010 @ 11:43 pm Amen, you echoed me earlier, only so much more eloquently. » Posted By Khirad On January 3, 2010 @ 11:05 pm … » Posted By Khirad On January 3, 2010 @ 10:01 pm I’ve actually been amazed, that unconsciously almost, my HP intake has reduced dramatically this past week or two as more people migrate over here. I was over there last night and realized it had been a while when friends one was wishing me a happy new year as if I were a long-lost poster. » Posted By Khirad On January 3, 2010 @ 9:51 pm Oh, lord, some of the articles have some real quacks – like yoga, chamomile and St. John’s Wort can solve whatever ails ye… and don’t get me started on the nexus of where Alex Jones meets the anti-Psychiatry $cientologists in the comments – and AH, herself, has allied herself with this crowd. The criticisms against PhRMA are valid, but are taken to absurd conspiratorial lengths, and has me despairing. Speaking of, that Picard poster reminded me of this site: http://www.despair.com/lithographs.html (I’m not shilling, never bought anything myself, their posters just make me laugh hysterically) » Posted By Khirad On January 3, 2010 @ 9:43 pm Sorry, but the ‘dead men tell no tales’ required me to add an ‘aaargh’ here for good measure. Thar be pirates in nearby waters, after all. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 4:21 pm Thank goodness for the Indian questions and the ones about beer and Scotch, else I wouldn’t have gotten half of those right! The Thai Anim » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 2:22 pm Are you sure that’s the right link? I just saw Richard Engel talking about Yemen and the recent action in Sana’a. I tend to trust him more than others. » Posted By Khirad On January 4, 2010 @ 2:00 pmComments Posted By Khirad
