[CanYoAssDigIt] Fwd: Unable to deliver your message

There is something wrong with my gmail account. I attempted to reply to your e-mail via the list.  It certainly can't be that I've been banned by Holly for pointing out obvious things like Joe Lieberman is a Democrat, or that Bill Clinton is a horndog.

It certainly can't be that I've been banned here in the land of the free, home of the brave, home of free speech and all those yummy things that the republicans hate, but the democrats love. 

I'm sure it's just a passing problem, and I'll soon be posting factual, useful, logical posts to the list again - the kind the list really, really needs.   Please communicate this to other folks.

Now onto the message I was trying to send.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Correction on SubPop's Beat Happening webpage.

I was amused to see this on the Beat Happening page on the SubPop
Website (http://www.subpop.com/scripts/main/bands_page.php?id=10&PHPSESSID=4cfb1f56145eb59d18df040e1ab7bb54):

"Brett checked out Calvin and Heather playing a show in the Smithfield
Cafe in Arizona and was blown away. He recalled, "They changed the way
I thought about music." A few months later, Calvin and Brett met and
decided to form a band."

The Smithfield Cafe was in Olympia, which is of course in Washington,
not Arizona. It's particularly amusing given the Olympia roots of
SubPop...

The Smithfield was an important spot in Olympia back in the day; it
was the first place the band Wimps played. In a parallel universe
that's vibrating relatively close to this one, Wimps released a record
on SubPop early in its development.

Sincerely yours,
Abe Simpson

[CanYoAssDigIt] Dig that reality, baby

what interested me most about this "news" item is that they have dropped any pretense that people on "reality shows are anything other than actors; "stars", even.

In the 50s there was a scandal about quiz shows being rigged. Now people can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy (California leads with way, providing career paths starting with acting and ending with politics), and nobody gives a shit. 

They probably think all those people that BushCo have murdered are going to come back and take a bow at the end of his administration.

Somebody should do a poll...  I saw a poll recently that was totally astonishing in terms of how fantastically ignorant (or misled by Fox and so on) Americans are about just about everything... but then, Ollie North and G. Gordon Liddy can walk around and pretend to be heroes and people believe them...   bad career move for Hitler and Stalin to have died when they did, I can see the reality tv shows, the commentary on fox news, the best selling books, the parades, the standing ovations....

Lance Bass: I'm gay
'N Sync singer worried he would harm group

Wednesday, July 26, 2006; Posted: 1:16 p.m. EDT (17:16 GMT)

Lance Bass is involved with Reichen Lehmkuhl of "Amazing Race."

NEW YORK (AP) -- Lance Bass, band member of 'N Sync, says he's gay and in a "very stable" relationship with a reality show star.

Bass, who formed 'N Sync with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, tells People magazine that he didn't earlier disclose his sexuality because he didn't want to affect the group's popularity.

"I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything," he tells the magazine.

'N Sync is known for a string of hits including "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me." The band went on hiatus in 2002. Bass has also found headlines for undertaking astronaut training and failing to raise money for a trip into space.

Bass says he wondered if his coming out could prompt "the end of 'N Sync." He explains, "So I had that weight on me of like, 'Wow, if I ever let anyone know, it's bad.' So I just never did."

The singer says he's in a "very stable" relationship with 32-year-old actor Reichen Lehmkuhl, winner of season four of CBS' "Amazing Race."

Bass and Fatone, 29, are developing a sitcom pilot inspired by the screwball comedy "The Odd Couple," in which his character will be gay.

"The thing is, I'm not ashamed -- that's the one thing I want to say," Bass says. "I don't think it's wrong, I'm not devastated going through this. I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy."

[CanYoAssDigIt] rocky balboa

I saw the trailer for this on YouTube, and thought it was a clever cut
and paste of Rocky and another, more contemporary boxing film... the
Rocky scenes were just such a replay of scenes of the first movie (the
first, and last and only one of the series I've seen).

but something about it nagged at me, and I checked it out, and this
fucker is for real.

Sylvester Stallone turned 60 a couple of weeks ago. Is there no fraud
this man is not willing to attempt to put over on us?

The sixth installment of the legendary "ROCKY" franchise hits theaters

[CanYoAssDigIt] "National Public Radio is turning into an upscale version of Fox News."

This is what I've been saying about NPR and China, (and just about
everything else Roberts mentions in this article) for years. While you
could generally count on KUOW to offer more meaningful programming
that the national news, of late you would think they believe NPR means
"Networld of Plants and Recipes" given the vast amount of time they
give to gardening and food shows.

It's very depressing. Listen to Democracy Now online at
http://www.democracynow.org/ if you want news, and KUOW if you want
the same kind of narcolepsy-inducing escapism that Prarie Home
Companion offers.

The only consistently good program on KUOW is Alternative Radio, and
guess what it isn't produced by KUOW, NPR, PRI, Minnisota Public
Radio, or any of the usual suspects. David Barsamian built this thing
up from the ground up with his bare hands, and he deserves an
incredible amount of credit for that.

Whack North Korea, Before It Can Protect Itself?
Courting Doom

By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

Finding itself in Republican sights and with no Democratic power
center to offer protection, National Public Radio is turning into an
upscale version of Fox "News." Nevertheless, information still gets
out if the listener is sufficiently attentive.

On July 5, NPR's "All Things Considered" interviewed two warmongers
for their views on the North Korean missile test. One was Ashton
Carter, a Clinton administration Assistant Secretary of Defense, now
at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. The other was
Ambassador Christopher Hill, an Assistant Secretary of State in the
Bush regime.

The Clinton DOD assistant secretary is coauthor of a recent article
advocating an unilateral US military attack on North Korea. HIs first
pitch on NPR was that the whole region, not just the US, is threatened
by North Korea and that everyone should gang up on North Korea to make
them behave. The NPR interviewer asked Carter to reconcile his
multilateralism with his own recommendation for the US to unilaterally
attack North Korea. Carter replied that North Korea's missile was
developed to attack us, so we had to protect ourselves.

When the NPR interviewer asked Carter why deterrence would fail with
North Korea when deterrence succeeded in the case of the more powerful
Soviet Union, Carter agreed that North Korea was not sufficiently
insane to launch an attack on the US. So, if the US is not in danger
of being attacked by North Korea, why does Carter want to attack North
Korea?

The answer is, well, you see, if we permit North Korea to develop any
weapon with which they might be able to stand up to us on some issue
critical to North Korea, well, they might not do as we want them to
do. Carter could not conceive of a world in which any country existed
that might be able to behave differently than the US dictates.

Ambassador Hill agreed, but he came at it in a different way. Hill's
view is that it is China's, Japan's, and South Korea's responsibility
to make North Korea behave as the US wants it to behave. Both Hill and
Carter agreed that no country, with the exception of Israel, has a
right to any interests of its own unless it is an interest that
coincides with US interests. No other interest is legitimate.

Listening to the pair of hegemonic maniacs, I realized that the US is
the new Rome--there is no legitimate power but us. Any other power is
a potential threat to our interests and must be eliminated before it
gets any independent ideas. The US, however, is far more dangerous
than Rome. Rome saw its world as the Mediterranean and, for a while,
Northern Europe, but the US thinks the whole world is its oyster. The
Bush regime is busy trying to marginalize Russia, and neocons are
preparing war plans to attack China before that country can achieve
military parity with the US.

Gentle reader, consider what it means when our government believes
other countries have no right to their own interests unless they
coincide with US interests. It means that we are the tyrant country.
We cannot be the tyrant country without being perceived as the tyrant
country. Consequently, the rest of the world unites against us.

How is the US, which has spent three years proving that it cannot
successfully occupy Iraq, a small country of only 25 million people,
going to control India, China, Russia, Europe, Africa and South
America?

It's not going to happen.

What it does mean is that the US government in its hubris and delusion
is going to continue starting wars and attacking other countries until
a coalition of greater forces smashes us. Even among our European
allies we are already perceived as the greatest threat to world peace
and stability.

Our power is not what it once was. We are weak in manufacturing and
dependent on China for advanced technology products. We are dependent
on China to finance our wars, our budget and trade deficits. How long
will China accommodate us when China reads about Bush's plans to
prevent China from achieving military parity?

The Bush regime thinks that it can have every country under its thumb.
Neocons are fond of proclaiming that it is a unipolar world in which
the US is supreme. This is a fantasy, and it is rapidly becoming a
nightmare.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Fwd: Mexico-Ohio con Salsa; Ken Lay'd to Rest and London 7/7

Well, the conspiracy theorists are cranking up overtime... for good reason.

I don't think there's anything conspiratorial about believing the election in Mexico was stolen, it's like muttering under your breath, "there's an occult force in the universe that acts on bodies at a distance. It's called "gravity!"  I read somewhere recently (wish I would have kept it) that foreigners admire how when there is controversy about an election in the US that we just accept the outcome, instead of pouring into the streets like they would elsewhere. 

I certainly wish there was more pouring here. There's going to be some in Mexico, I hope that it results in change and nobody gets hurt.

Even more interesting is the case of Kenneth Lay.  It reminds me of when the OK Boys Ranch stuff was all closing in around the Kiwanis Club in Olympia (finally) and then suddenly (county prosecutor) Pat Sutherland, Kiwanis big shot, dropped dead of a heart attack.  "He always was a lucky son-of-a-bitch," Herb Legg said admiringly.

But was Lay lucky, or was it good planning, by Lay or one of his "friends" (like Bush) afraid of what he'd reveal in exchange for leniency? The official news will never tell us, so bring on the conspiracy theories, I say

"Senor Blank-o" wins in Mexico

By Greg Palast

July 7, 2006 -- And the winner in Mexico's presidential contest is… Senor Blank-o!

The official count of the ruling party is: 36.38% for the ruling party and 35.34% for the challenger.

Or, to put names and numbers to it: The Bush-o-philiac candidate, Felipe Calderon, collected 402,000 more votes than Bush-bashed Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. But the big winner was Mr. Blank -- the 827,000 ballots without a mark for president.

I smell something rotten… eau d'Ohio, vintage 2004. In that state, as in Mexico this week, the presidential "winner," George Bush, had victory margin smaller than the combined "undercount" (blank ballots) and rejected and mangled ballots.

Blank ballots are rarely random — in the USA, nearly 88% were cast in 2004, notably, in minority areas, the result of bad voting machines. That is, Democrats' ballots "spoil" and "blank out" a heck of a lot more often than Republican ballots. What about in Mexico?

I intend to find out. As soon as I saw the "official" vote count, I booked a plane to Mexico City. I'll be there to tomorrow to join our investigators on the ground — and to fill in the blanks.

And what about the "spoiled" vote — ballots rejected, lost, mangled? Well, some are sitting in dumpsters in Veracruz State which is controlled by the old ruling PRI. (There's a darn good chance that the PRI, hoping to stave off its extinction, played a bigger role than Calderon's PAN in shoplifting votes from challenger Lopez Obrador.)

In a prior missive, I noted that the Bush Administration, under the guise of a secret War on Terror contract, hired ChoicePoint Inc. to filch the voter and citizen files of Mexico. These are the same characters (the Bushes and ChoicePoint) who helped purge Florida's voter rolls of African-Americans before the 2000 race. Were the Mexican rolls "scrubbed" with Dubya's help? And what exactly was the International Republican Institute, the imperial arm of the GOP, doing down there? Shouldn't someone ask? Shouldn't someone investigate?

Too many uncounted votes, too many blocked voters, too many statistics missing from the official tallies to jump to the automatic conclusion of US mainstream media, that this election was Mexico's first "clean" vote. It may look clean and neat from the Intercontinental Hotel in Mexico City where reporters shuttle from bar to press conference. But sniffing into the garbage piles and ballot piles of Veracruz, it smells more like Ohio con salsa.

Greg Palast is the author of the New York Times bestseller, " Armed Madhouse." (Media requests for reports from Mexico to Kat(at)GregPalast.com.)

Ken Lay'd to Rest

By Greg Palast

Eleanor Roosevelt, it's said, would rather light a candle than curse the darkness. Ken Lay would rather we light the candle and charge us for the darkness. Dark Vader is gone to where the heat is free and the lights are dim. My condolences.

But a man can't be all bad who, just recently, bought his wife a $200,000 yacht — despite court judgments requiring he pay back tens of millions he filched from the yacht-less. In his defense, he said, "It was difficult to turn off that life-style like a spigot."

Well, they say you can't take it with you — especially if you're an Enron pensioner.

Read " When Ahnold Got Lay'd" from the Class War chapter of " ARMED MADHOUSE."


London 7/7: George and Tony Get their al-Qaeda fix

By Greg Palast

The tooth fairy, Santa Clause, WorldCom profits, the Easter Bunny, al-Qaeda.

The cruel, evil jerks who blew up the London subway one year ago today, despite appropriating al-Qaeda's name for their website and T-shirts, have about as much to do with al-Qaeda as a Beatles tribute band has to do with the Fab Four.

For all the horror, hoopla and hair-pulling, this was no September 11. Timmy McVeigh slaughtered a heck of a lot more people in Oklahoma City with his cow-poop bomb.

I'm not belittling the heartbreaking hideousness of this crime, but let's get the facts straight. If al-Qaeda is the Panzer Division of terrorism, these London bombers were terrorism's Cub Scouts. We're talking a few pounds of nitro wired to a clock — a design badly copied off the Internet.

 A witness watched some Arabic-looking teenager nervously checking his bag on a bus which, London's un-hysterical police now believe, he accidentally triggered, blowing apart himself and a bunch of unlucky commuters.

Al-Qaeda this ain't. All the evidence is that this half-assed attack was the work of some poor young Muslim schmucks, possibly whipped into a frenzy by the mewling mullah of Finsbury Park, Omar Bakri Mohammed, a cleric who enjoyed the comfortable middle-class dullness of England during the week while on weekends preaching, "a 9/11, day after day after day" to punish his Western hosts.

It's not al-Qaeda, but for George and Tony, it's good enough. Blair's Foreign Secretary dramatically dashed out to tell us that the explosions had the "hallmarks of al-Qaeda." Our Commander in Chief, looking as commanding as possible (no reading of kiddie stories this time), could not have been more satisfied.

The "hallmarks of al-Qaeda"? That's not true and Blair knows it. And Bush knows it. And that's no little matter, my friends.

Because Blair and Bush are al-Qaeda junkies. They've sold us on everything from fingerprinting five-year olds to invading Baghdad to tolerating plummeting paychecks all on the slick line that we are under attack by a well-trained, well-armed, well-funded hidden army called al-Qaeda.

But our War President and War Prime Minister are having a little problem with their war on terror. The enemy's gone AWOL. Except when we go looking for trouble — as in invading a Mesopotamian country — trouble pretty much stopped looking for us.

Even September 11. Forgive me for pointing this out, but no matter how horrific, it was in the end the deed of a couple dozen fundamentalist fruitcakes with box-cutters hankering for a hot time with virgins in the next life who got "lucky."

Yes, unlike the London attack, the "luck" of the September 11 hijackers required the sick genius of monied operatives and a Washington administration that operated with eyes wide shut toward Saudi gangsterism.

But now al-Qaeda's luck's run out, not because Bush has us taking off our shoes in airports, but because, overwhelmingly, Muslims in this world really have no attraction to killing kids or commuters.

For Bush and Blair, organized terror's diminishing power was a political problem — until last week, when the al-Queda addicts of the White House and Downing Street got a new terror fix. Even if it wasn't the real al-Qaeda, it was enough for them to mainline into the body politic a big, fat dose of fear.

Now, with world media all jumped up on its latest fear high, Bush and Blair can resume their sales pitch: more weaponry, less liberty.

FDR calmed a nation when he said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." But the Bush and Blair slogan is, "We have nothing to sell but fear itself."



Excerpted from "The Fear" chapter of  ARMED MADHOUSE: Who's Afraid of Osama Wolf?, China Floats Bush Sinks, the Scheme to Steal '08, No Child's Behind Left and other Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Class War."

[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: Message not approved: [Fwd: Top 10 Signs you are a Christian]

OK, so Martin Luther King didn't do 2000 lb leg presses, so he was
only 92% (10 out of 11) venal?

remember, the heading wasn't "fundamentalist christians" or
"hypocritical coke snorting weekend christians" or "right wing
reactionary pseudo christians" it was "christians" a population that
includes Martin Luther King, and many other good and revered people,
such as my father-in-law's collegue Desmond Tutu.

Did you actually not approve my message for posting? In my mind
that's a petty abuse and misuse of moderator power.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Matt talks to Nutonmychin6903 again

nutonmychin6903 is using a different version of Yahoo! Messenger.
Certain features may be unavailable.

valis2001us: Hey Nut
valis2001us: Hows it hanging?
valis2001us: I remember somebody once said, "open your mouth, and let me in!"
valis2001us: and I said "not by a hair on my chinny chin chin!"
valis2001us: har har!!!
valis2001us: what happens when nutonmychin6903 steps into one of those
walk-in freezers?
valis2001us: You get a chin chilla'!
valis2001us: Have you done your chin ups yet today?
valis2001us: Have you ever been to China?
valis2001us: Do your ancestors come from there? I just learned this:
Jin also Chin Audio pronunciation of "chin" ( P ) Pronunciation Key
(jn)

The name of four Chinese dynasties, including Western Jin (A.D.
265-316), Eastern Jin (317-420), Later Jin (936-946), and Jin
(1115-1234).
valis2001us: and check this out: Qin also Ch'in Audio pronunciation
of "chin" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (chn)

A Chinese dynasty (221-206 B.C.) that established the first
centralized imperial government in China. Much of the Great Wall of
China was built during the rule of this dynasty.
valis2001us: Chins were very famous in China! Do you suppose many of
them had nuts on them?
valis2001us: Maybe you are from India instead: Chin: Kamarupan
languages spoken in western Burma and Bangladesh and easternmost India
valis2001us: Because last time I asked if you were Indian, but that's
not the kind of indian I was talking about then...
valis2001us: Then I meant, you know, "Heap Big Chief Daddy Wampum"
kind of thing.
valis2001us: This time I meant "bring me some vindaloo, sir!" or
"easy on that curry, punjab!"
valis2001us: Which reminds me, what hurts more, a pun, or a jab?
valis2001us: sticks and stones may break my bones, but works can never help me.
valis2001us: I go with that, I think i'd rather get a pun. The jab
could be in my eye or something, I wouldn't like that very much.
valis2001us: Well, it's been great talking to you again. I have to go
for a while, they are wheeling my breakfast in to me.
valis2001us: An 18 egg omlette, and loaf of toast, a couple pounds of
bacon, and half a dozen candy bars.
valis2001us: mmmmmmmm! Good eatins!

Footnote: The young Indian boy went to his father and asked him how
he got his name.

"Well, son," his father explained, "in our tribe it is the custom to
name the child after auspicious events that happen while he is being
conceived.

"For example, at the moment when young Running Deer was being
conceived, a mighty buck with a huge rack of antlers dashed through
the clearing.

"When Flying Bird was conceived, a bird of startling beauty leapt from
a branch on the edge of the forest, and soared in graceful flight.

"Why do you ask, Busted Rubber?"

[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [progressive] Environmental News: Begs the question-How many need to die

While many people use the phrase "begs the question" as a synonym for
"invites the question" or "raises the question", or to indicate that
"the question really ought to be addressed", begging the question is
actually "the term for a type of fallacy occurring in deductive
reasoning in which the proposition to be proved is assumed implicitly
or explicitly in one of the premises. For an example of this, consider
the following argument: "Only an untrustworthy person would run for
office. The fact that politicians are untrustworthy is proof of this."
Such an argument is fallacious, because it relies upon its own
proposition—in this case, "politicians are untrustworthy"—in order to
support its central premise. Essentially, the argument assumes that
its central point is already proven, and uses this in support of
itself." (from the Wikipedia).

However, George W Bush was defeated in two elections, and we are still
stuck with him, as we most likely are now with the incorrect usage of
this term.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [progressive] ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR: Was the 2004 Election Stolen?

Those Kennedys and their crazy conspiracy theories. They also believe that criminal or political elements want them dead, and have already offed two of them.  Can your heart stand the shocking facts? John and Robert Kennedy are on a space ship with Howard Hughes and Elvis, enjoying alien hospitality.  And George W Bush was elected President fair and square - twice!

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR: Was the 2004 Election Stolen?

Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters in Ohio from casting ballots or having their votes counted -- enough to have put John Kerry in the White House.

Like many Americans, I spent the evening of the 2004 election watching the returns on television and wondering how the exit polls, which predicted an overwhelming victory for John Kerry, had gotten it so wrong. By midnight, the official tallies showed a decisive lead for George Bush -- and the next day, lacking enough legal evidence to contest the results, Kerry conceded. Republicans derided anyone who expressed doubts about Bush's victory as nut cases in ''tinfoil hats,'' while the national media, with few exceptions, did little to question the validity of the election. The Washington Post immediately dismissed allegations of fraud as ''conspiracy theories,''(1) and The New York Times declared that ''there is no evidence of vote theft or errors on a large scale.''(2)
But despite the media blackout, indications continued to emerge that something deeply troubling had taken place in 2004. Nearly half of the 6 million American voters living abroad(3) never received their ballots -- or received them too late to vote(4) -- after the Pentagon unaccountably shut down a state-of-the-art Web site used to file overseas registrations.(5) A consulting firm called Sproul & Associates, which was hired by the Republican National Committee to register voters in six battleground states,(6) was discovered shredding Democratic registrations.(7) In New Mexico, which was decided by 5,988 votes,(8) malfunctioning machines mysteriously failed to properly register a presidential vote on more than 20,000 ballots.(9) Nationwide, according to the federal commission charged with implementing election reforms, as many as 1 million ballots were spoiled by faulty voting equipment -- roughly one for every 100 cast.(10)
