Plan-It POV

Seeing as it was 10-1 at the punchline, I’d been trying to make the point that the Repubs were dancing for nothing. Kind of hard to use such a funny guy to represent them though!

I have committed myself in at least boycotting Huff Fridays. I’ll try and drop by.

I missed out on the primaries and the election. The thing with Coyote is that even when I agree with a point or two I hate to validate the obnoxiousness. JamesR leader? Don’t see him around much. I assume he was more active. I now wonder what the view on the incursion was. The view on Iran they have is neocon.

That was funny.

True to that.

I had totally forgotten it’s a she.

sandiegosurf’s idea of debate is “the Jooooooze!”

Ah yes, I accidentally fanned beej when they did a Pikonos sock.

And that’s my theory why Flossie fanned me. It’s actually sort of a perverse compliment that I need an eye kept on.

Me with Coyote and all her personalities.

That would be AC, I haven’t seen their posts, but everything there you said leads to it. Haven’t seen her for a while, either.

» Posted By Khirad On November 5, 2009 @ 5:33 pm

Btw, why does Flossie fan everyone?

» Posted By Khirad On November 5, 2009 @ 5:30 pm

They have the same writing style, and when I was getting into with them on the Iranian story this summer seemed identical in their responses. The difference is that one is more economic/Randian, the other more political.

And yeah, with Brad, I just like to get him on music, where he posts some cool tunes. Otherwise he can be tedious, though sincere. I agree, he seems to want a discussion, though the hypercritical ‘I want the troops out yesterday’ thing gets tedious.

Voting on civil rights

Didn’t you love that redundant prop? Down here they shot ambush commercials outside the Tucson Courthouse, with everything but puppies and rainbows as props. The one thing I will say about AZ is that yes, there still is that Goldwater spirit, and our Repubs are more the ‘leave me the hell alone’ type.

I like her, I hope she does come.

Listen, I know it was only Civil Unions, but after the same kind of campaign of hate was waged in Washington (I will not be adding the suffix ‘state’, as you shall soon learn why), how come no news coverage of R-71’s victory? This native has his own opinion, but it probably has more to do with the news media driving a narrative than the chip on the shoulder we get when we’re from the Pacific Northwest as feeling an insignificant corner to the rest of the country not worthy of attention; not even when the other state is Maine (no offense meant to the Pine Tree State or the other Portland).

Yes, I remember the OCA. Mostly from SE Oregon and tied to racists (?), if I remember right. In addition I remember that even the Portland law got overturned. But, Sam Adams remains in office, even after the scandal.

Yippee for NY 23

Reminded me of the Mad Hatter after a lobotomy.

Plouffe Responds to Queen Huffington

I think we had it redirected. Can’t remember that address though.

Hmm, unicode support less than desirable for eta and omega transliteration – malakismene, malako.

Good stuff to point out. Unfortunately the Imperatrix is more interested in driving a message.

Just wanted some thoughts on this regarding our cyber-siren luring of unsuspecting progressive sojourners with her shrill sensationalism:

“In modern Greek, the word malakas is used metaphorically in everyday speech to define the individual that uses no common sense, who instead repeats the same mistakes many times over, while maintaining an attitude of self-righteousness.”

P.S., fem. is malakism

Seminar: A weekly discussion. First topic: What number of parties leads to the most progressive and effective society?

Boy, Britain is an interesting one. Don’t forget the national parties, and the increasingly complex dynamics there with devolution, as well. I’m probably most familiar (and avid PM’s Questions viewer) with the British system (with special interest in Scottish politics, though I haven’t kept up lately), but also have working knowledge of Canadian, German, and Indian politics. Even the Mexican system, with two major parties in the Socialist International is intriguing, and I wish I had more of a knowledge base there.

I fully agree with your take on the Greens. The only reason I voted for Nader in 2000 as a young voter in my first presidential election (in a reliably blue state, too) was I hoped in getting enough percentage to qualify for federal funding and build a party with a greater profile. Since Nader bolting, and such figures as Cynthia McKinney in its leadership ranks I long since became disillusioned. Start off with town councils, build up. Grassroots and Green should go together, no?

In any case, very interesting topic. I’ll give it some thought, but don’t really know if I’ll be up to the task. I’m more likely to anticipate eagerly the thoughts of other such luminaries of our Planet’s denizenry on this subject.

Especially when the Conservatives play the other three off of each other. In progressive cities like Vancouver and the Toronto area, you also have the Greens poaching off likely NDP seats.

Hairyanna does it again.

Night.

I was on that Iraqi-American story. On those I kind of understand the modding. I can only imagine what might appear otherwise.

Really cute.

» Posted By Khirad On November 3, 2009 @ 7:20 am

Afghanistan or Iraq? Ha, you can’t even write Taliban. Although, I’ve gotten by using British spelling before.

» Posted By Khirad On November 3, 2009 @ 7:17 am

I love that. There’s the cutting wit I wish I had.

Did I spy a cool band ref?

I’m still adjusting to not using symbols to bypass moderation.
