Get over it, OK. Those adversaries on those whaling ships didn't look particularly "terrorized" to me. Harassed, yes. Intimidated? Doesn't seem to be the case. They just seem to hit back and otherwise put up with it.

Let's be clear, also: I'm not justifying the tactics, I'm taking issue with your hyperbole. It's akin to people wanting to put the suffix "nazi" on everything and everyone they don't like.

In the wake of 9/11, we had this asshat legislator here in Nevada who proffered a bill defining "terrorism" as "anything that interferes with law enforcement activity."

Right. Take a fucking Ativan.

LOL!!! 707!!!

Right. LOL. Parasitic entertainer, perhaps. George Maloof just called him "a great artist." Gimme a fuckin' break.

Right. A turntable is a musical instrument, one requiring decades of diligent practice to master. Everyone knows that.

Pul-eeze. Spare me. This cat may have been an overpaid "celebrity entertainer," but he was not a "musician."

Angry? LOL. You're the one who needs to chill. I'm just call bullshit on these hyperbolic posthumous accolades calling this cat "a great artist" and a "musician." It may be lowbrow "entertainer" -- with an obvious market -- but my definition of "musician" hews to the real one. Sorry.

Novel idea for you: How about they simply learn to play real musical instruments, and actually play and even compose music?

"Who wouldn't be confused.

1000 page bills. We don't know what the public option will be. We don't know what 'reform' means (suspect it means, cool ways for insurance companies to make even more money)."

See my posts (the last of 4 is now in progress). Link in my name. I've actually read the legislative drafts.

"..."public option" as currently proffered (e.g., H.R. 3200) merely looks like -- as I've said before -- [1] corporate welfare ("Play or Pay" forcing everyone to buy health insurance policies under threat of tax penalty for non-compliance), and [2] outright "welfare" (means-tested government subsidy for health insurance "affordability").

"And I'm going to plead with Joan to get Chris Matthews to shut his big mouth and let people speak for a change."

You are aware, are you not, that every time a talk show host interrupts rudely and talks over a guest, Chris Matthews get a royalty payment?

"You can't 'demand' that people be more logical. Emotion is part of the human animal"...

___

Damasio long ago pointed out that it's not either/or (see "Descarte's Error"), that emotion and logic are inextricable. i.e., you have to CARE about being rational. See also the book "On Bullshit."

Repu'ublicist obstructionists and their drooling Town Hell dupes care more about, respectively, [1] power, and [2] their cherished illusions.

On the ABC evening news tonight, they reported on some plan associated with this event to have student "write letters to themselves about what they could do to help the President." Then they hastily re-worded it following the shitstorm, and some Obama spokeswoman tried lamely to gloss it over on camera.

That was fucking STUPID.

Recall when that helium-head Fundie Bush DOJ appointee woman was asked in a Gonzo confirmation questionnaire "what is it about George W. Bush that makes you want to serve him?" And the left went all batshit over it.

You give these wingnut clowns ANYTHING to run with and they're gonna blow it up into Mount Everest.

New BobbyG poll:

More broadly, should President BaraBlack NotQuiteAbruthah HusseinMadrassa OsamaKenyaBama -- Peace Be Upon Him -- be allowed to appear on television AT ALL during prime time when children might be viewing, without parental consent?

___

Seriously: Americans have an increasingly bad case of The Stupids.

which is, should President Sheikh bin al BaraBlack NotQuiteAbrutha HusseinMadrassa OsamaKenyaBama -- Peace Be Upon Him -- be allowed to appear on network or basic cable television at ALL during prime time when children might be viewing, without parental consent?

I am passing on your handle to ask Salon.com administrators to ban you, you spamming troll.

argues his or her case with fervent junkyard dog passion, pushing the envelope where expedient (all the way up to "contempt"), but once a judge rules on a point of procedure, a motion, or a case. It's OVER -- in terms of continuing to protest to or about the judge. Real attorneys simply say "yes, your Honor" and move on. "Moving on" may, of course, filing appeals, but real attorneys do not continue to lambast the judge. This mentally ill bitch needs to be found in contempt and remanded.

"a fertilized egg is a human being at an early stage of development"

___

I'm not clear regarding your point. A "fertilized egg," while still alive, is both "being" and "humanly" so (DNA). That is not the legal issue.
