They're talking about Congress/legislation not responsive to the "American People". I'm going to bring up Kit Bond trying to strike a back-room deal w/ Steny Hoyer for retroactive telco immunity.
Your right. In my earlier post, I used the term "stank eye" which is slang for an uninterrupted, intrusive glare meant to assert power or intended as a challenge. Also known sometimes as "eye f**king" somebody. So phallic eye or phallic gaze is perfectly legitimate and easily understood.
I think it's when you give somebody a look that says (to quote the Hillary/Hitler spoof vid) - "I'll f*ck you in half!"
Where is Kitt? I'd rather hear what Kitt has been thinking. It's too early, bamage. to drink dark bock beer.
I feel like a trip to St. James Gate in Dublin Ireland. A room temperature Arthur Guinness beer can be drunk any time of the day in a Mountain Dew soda can. bamage. hint. Just don't share it with the security guards.
Offer them a guinea pig?
They are domesticated.
Raise guinea's for food.
Yuck. Drink bock beer.
Consider:
America, FUCK YEAH!
Friedman's is the only way, yeah!
America, FUCK YEAH!
Fighting Iran to save the motherfuckin' day, yeah!
America, FUCK YEAH!
Lick my butt and Suck. On. This., yeah!
America, FUCK YEAH!
It all fits!
Unfortunately, Friedman is but one of many expelling this Neo-Con drivel. Just how much media power do these people have?
Let us hope that the public will be able to challenge this fear mongering.
The phallic gaze (and thus, by extension, the phallic eye, I guess, and maybe the Gallic eye too, for all I know) is a gaze of desire, that renders its object an object of desire or lust and no more than that. I'm sure a google of feminist theory will yield more than that.
But bamage's interpretation is also right---Friedman is looking for a country he can focus on and fantasize about fucking in half. He'll never do it, of course, but he'll go through many boxes of Kleenex formulating the necessary "serious" proposals. As usual.
If Tom Friedman wants war with Iraq, let him fight it himself (financed by his wife's millions.)
Mr. Friedman and the New York Times, SUCK. ON. THIS.
So this is what the Rev. Wright meant by a chicken hawk coming home to roost? Out! Out damn'd cock. Out I say.
U.S. Colonel Says Iran Is Assassinating Iraqi Officials

Iran has also armed large numbers of militia members in Iraqi cities such as Basra, Diwaniyah, Nasiriyah and Sadr City, in Baghdad, training many in the use of the "most effective" Iranian weapons, including long-range rockets and a lethal form of roadside bomb known as an explosively formed projectile, or EFP, McMaster said. Iran has denied playing such a role in Iraq.
McMaster said it was unrealistic to expect "linear progress" in the war in Iraq. He cautioned that recent improvements in security could be compromised if the U.S. military withdraws too quickly. "The war in Iraq doesn't end if we leave prematurely, it gets worse," he said.

If my mom was still alive, she write about sowing oats. If you helped clean out Mom's closet, wonder, respect, and observe the little treasure she hoarded, wow. You'd have cried sweet tears. 'um are good tears.
No alligators tears can fool a Mom. I have a 3 X 5 index card with nothing but silly red lip stick kisses on one side.
Mom left it on Dad's pillow one morning with a brief note. Dad saved it. I got a copy of it. Mom signed it, 'All my love, F.

I blame America, Israel, the west, capitalism, Starbucks, white people and of course all the Jews.
Nice work dismantling Friedman, Glenn. He's a disgusting little nerd, a war cheerleader in the mode of Joe Lieberman and the other neo-cons. Put any of them in a war zone and they'd wet themselves.
Just beyond the Islamic "rivers of rage" that Tom Friedman discovered lie lands we currently call Europe and Japan, although I'm sure Rob will soon weigh in with the ancient names. Here are what a few of its leaders have to say about the causes of 9/11:
Andreas von Buelow, Ph.D., Former State Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Defense of West Germany, and former Minister of Research & Technology:
The official story [19 Arab hijackers with box cutters and Cessna ratings] is so inadequate and far-fetched there must be another one . . . . This [9/11 attacks] is unthinkable without years-long support from secret apparatuses of the state and industry.
Francesco Cossiga, President of Italy (1985-1992) and former Prime Minister:
. . . all of the democratic areas of America and of Europe, with the Italian center-left in the forefront, now know full well that the disastrous attack was planned and executed by the American CIA [to] falsely incriminate Arabic countries and to persuade the Western Powers to intervene in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yukihisa Fujita, Member, House of Councillors, National Diet of Japan; Director, Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defense:
On January 10, 2008, Fujita gave a 40-minute presenation on the House floor debunding the official version of 9/11 and demanding that Japan investigate the murder of its citizens on 9/11. [translation available upon request]
Paul Hellyer, Former Minister of National Defense of Canada, former Deputy Prime Minister:
The inquiry has been very shallow, very superficial. I would like to see a much tougher, more in-depth inquiry. We have to try and get the truth . . . I hope that somebody has the courage and persistence to keep at it until we get it.
And there are others, including British MP Michael Meacher, that will not be reported in the American mainstream press because the goal is obviously just what Friedman says it is--to keep the U.S. on a war footing. And Friedman's inconsistencies that Glenn points out? Not the issue. Nada problem. Tom "Six More Months" Friedman graduated magna cum laude from Operation Mockingbird.
But, then, America and this administration could never do such things!
