Camille has her obsessions, but let's be fair -- she doesn't rail against phallic imagery and male oppression. Hell, she revels in phallic imagery and male oppression.
To be sure, there's a vast school of mainstream feminism that does rail against phallic imagery and male oppression. But this school hates Camille, and vice-versa.
1) I didn't say a word to excuse LBJ, or any other democrat. LBJ was a warmonger, and no friend of mine. Plenty more Democrats I've got no use for, as well. I despise the Bush regime, but that doesn't mean I love Democrats. For that matter, don't assume I hate all Republicans, because that's also not true.
2) Ramsey Clark is a man of principle and action. Do more homework before announcing your ignorance.
According to former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, nicotine withdrawal is worse than heroin withdrawal.
Andrew Weill asserts that heroin withdrawal is vastly overrated -- need be no worse than a head cold. Weill says the real problem with heroin use is not the heroin per se, but associated risk factors like poor nutrition, dirty needles, etc.
I failed to state my thought clearly. I was thinking: if heroin makes everything better, then what does the lack of heroin make? After the taste of heaven, doesn't withdrawal suck?
What I want is a multiplayer Tetris where I view the game from the tile's point of view. "You are looking down a deep chute, falling towards an irregular field of colored squares...."
The buyer owns the analog media. When I buy a book, I own the book itself. What I don't own is the content: I am prohibited from reprinting what's in the book.
"Totally harmless to people"... but surely they can solve that problem!
A national guard officer told me, back in the eighties, that the US Army had experimented with a "microwave oven bomb", essentially cooking the enemy. Experiments were discontinued, because the device was deemed "too inhumane". And I thought... cluster bombs are any less inhumane?
Slashdot Mirror
"In-depth conference where thought leaders will debate cutting edge changes and visionary thinking in the world of money"
... but my mind wants to see "loss leaders" ....
- Future of Money Summit
It says "thought leaders"
I had the same problem with the Dune books: I kept reading the next one in the series, and the next ... long after I'd stopped enjoying them.
Let's say something falls from space onto your property. Suppose that this fallen something is highly radioactive. Finders keepers?

Rendezvous With Rama was a great book.
The sequels sucked so bad, I can't tell you how bad.

Ramsey Clark is no idiot -- he's the genuine article. Also he's a private citizen, therefore not impeachable.
A better approach: Ramsey Clark's initiative to impeach Bush (and other officials of his adminstration, including Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Ashcroft) --

The important thing is that we give Tesla his due for inventing radio, and discredit that thief Marconi.

These things have already been invented, more or less ...
Gasoline that makes your dashboard always report that you have a full tank - even if you're about to run out of gas
Get this effect by drinking and driving.
A helmet that convinces defendants to confess - even if they're innocent
Easily accomplished: use torture.
A panacea that stops children from ever crying - even if they've just been hit by a car
Give them laudanum.
An instrument that tells pilots they're flying at a safe altitude - even if they're about to hit the ground
"Die Hard 2"
The one experience heroin fails to enhance: not taking heroin.
You mean IIS -- "Internet Information Server".

The devil is in the details
Grown by Amish farmers is certainly an endorsement ... but I'm not smoking these cigs unless they're grown by virgin Amish vegetarian farmers.
Yup, that's what I have in mind!

Federal Agents Raid Leesburg Home
"Some neighbors reported being told by agents that the investigation involved a copyright issue."
But if the agents really are jack-booted thugs, do we take them at their word? (Assuming the neighbors got it right in the first place.)

This is an extraordinary tale -- thanks for sharing it!

First "drunken brawl" ... then "mass melee".
How about a football team versus a baseball team?
....
Football players are big hulking guys wearing body armor and helmets -- baseball players are smaller and unarmored, but they've got bats.
Should be an interesting match
