The Reverend Kev
. . . is teaching once again, at a Christian high school. Quite a change from pastoring.
If this is your sort of thing, please pray that he helps to draw young people closer to God. If not, please send good vibes. Teaching is a very hard job, as my mother has been telling me since I was born—shortly after she was manipulated back into the august profession.
I happen to think it's the most important job, and one that should only be undertaken when there's a calling. Pastor K. has it, by the way.

Not to mention that Valerie was not covert at the time Novak disclosed her name or 5 years prior. Or when Wilson was giving paid speeches using her name and affiliation, six months prior to Novak's column.
FloppingAces has a good roundup, too, http://www.floppingaces.net/2006/08/30/the-end-game-of-the-plame-affair/
Too bad the nation knows little about this story or about what really happened. Or can't bring themselves to read another word about it for fear of a splitting migraine.

Okay.

Am I Angry Because I'm Sad?
Or am I sad because I'm angry?
Something inside me is tangled up. And I won't be able to write decent male characters until it's straightened out. After that, it could go either way.
Attila the Hub: "can't you just write female characters and give 'em male names?"
We're all confused down here, by the way. Does someone have a flashlight? (If you turn that into a dirty joke I will kick your teeth in.)

Try writing your male characters who appear to be decent as if they were total hypocrites. When you've sorted it out, change the adjectives and voila!
Good luck with the flashlight thing...

Let's get all circular: you're sad because you're sad; and you're angry because you're angry.
Next, tie some rope to the flashlight and spin around your head. That will make things really circular.
You're only confused because someone else is pretending they know what they're talking about.

How about frustrated? Walk away and come back later.
As far as male characters go, you already have the action part with your plot outline. As far as personality goes, may I suggest actual males you have known--give your characters a real face. As far as motivation goes, leave it out or pick a reason when you're through. Nobody ever knows anyway. Even with real-life males.

Joy,
As a male, my advice on writing men is to go back to the basics:
1. He wants her.
2. He can't communicate with her.
3. He will beat (or attempt to) anyone who points either of these things out to him.
We are simple beasts driven by our needs. Don't be angry at being sad or sad about your anger. You have the Hub; be angry at him then go for the make-up fun. Or sulk until he rubs your feet and makes the sad go away.
Just my 2 cents and the flashlight.
SGT Dave,

The Path to 9/11
A week from this coming Sunday ABC will air the first of its two installments of
The Path to 9/11. The conclusion will follow the next night, on the anniversary of the attack.
Govindini Murty of Libertas praises the production for its fidelity to the actual course of events that took us from the 1993 bombing of the WTC to the destruction of 9/11.
Please spread the word; this will be a watershed event.

It should be interesting. Though, after the National Geographic special, Inside 9/11, tough act to follow.
I understand that the cBS 9/11 show is supposed to be filled with profanity to the point where they are daring the FCC to fine them and any station that shows it.
Posted by: William Teach at August 28, 2006 04:05 PM (doAuV)

I'll believe it when I see it. I've lost all faith in the MSM. If it is as Libertas describes, it must have slipped through the cracks. People in Hollywood tend to think that EVERYONE believes the same thing they do. Why shouldn't they? Everyone that does speak does...
Now if they can play all those tapes they OWN from Sunday morning shows showing every Dem from Clinton to Congress saying the exact same words that Bush used when discussing WMDs in Iraq...

The MSM has probably burned every tape where a proggie says that Iraq had WMD.

I've watch an advanced screening of this movie and can tell you it is VERY accurate. In fact it may be the most accurate protral of the events leading up to 9/11 that you will ever see. It is based on the 9/11 Commission Report and follows it almost to the letter.
I highly recommend anyone to watch it.

REMEMBER - it's just TV!!! It is not labeled a documentary, nor for that matter I hear no one representing it as any kind of FACT, just someones representation of the 9/11 report, which of course was someone elses representation......
Its just TV!! The right wingers will label it their way as will the left. So far the TV show is sounding like it leans RIGHT - but I will watch it, while I remember that just like 24 - it's just TV!

Tattoos or none? Offhand I'd say they'd catch on because of the TV show, but there have been multiple escapes using chili and hot sauce, so maybe not.
Or are you just talking about a little vacation?

I'd skip it. Prison breaks take up way too much precious time and space to set up correctly and we've seen way too many of them over the years. Frankly, the TV show wasn't all that interesting(or original), either--there was little to watch at the same time--and it all depended on a prison that was built in the 1800's and getting a staff member(the doctor) to cooperate. Real prison breaks are usually mundane things--the result of screw-ups: A dangerous prisoner switching places with someone scheduled for release, or someone walking out of a courtroom or hospital washroom in civilian clothes planted by an accomplice on the outside.
If it's really necessary, tell us more so we can come up with something original.

There Could Be Trouble.
Someone's started a new
site dedicated to the one and only
Bobbie Sue—the infamous cult leader R.L. Hymers, Jr.
But how do you tell the parody site fromBobbie Sue's real site? Good Question. The parody site looks good, and is soundly designed. The real site looks like shit, and brings up error messages on your computer screen.
Don't smoke dope, kiddies: it leads to joining cults!

I do find a problem with Stacy being able to put up pictures to her Blog before the requisite 46 days passing, though. What's up with that?
I guess I have to stay out of Colorado because I resemble Marv in "Sin City" without the charm and nuance, of course. Or Goldie or Lucille for that matter.

Stacy--
He meant graphic-ego like "alter-ego." Not like you were coceited.
His remark about the 46 days is just taking a private jab at me, due to my tardiness in posting/sending pictures.

I stipulate that AG is my official translator. I do not speak English, nor can I read or write.

Yay! The New Creative From Ford Is Ready!
I'm digging their new
"anti-campaign" campaign. I swear if I had money I'd buy a Ford right this minute. Who knew that people telling the truth could be so freakin' appealing?
It reminds me of Hog's approach to sales, which he refers to as "no bullshit." He has a lot of success with it.

"Closing Time"
In how many books, poems, songs, or albums has the phenomenon of
closing time at a bar been used as a metaphor for
the end of a relationship and—sometimes—the futility of it all?

The pot calling the kettle black is never easy to listen to...
Now that Ben and Jerry's platinum ad has run its course, I'd just like to say I'm taking a group of kids swimming to Cuba this weekend to get some of that wonderful universal health care! Cement fillings for everyone and dirt-rag bandages to cover our jelly-fish wounds--after a thorough cleansing from water in a dirty bucket, of course!. Skill levels that would put US Civil War doctors to shame! Oh, B&J, if you're just renewing your ad, disregard the above.

Anyone have Lexis/Nexis that can count the number of anti-Wal-Mart stories in the LA Times over the last six years?

I'll see if "Screaming Mary," the "face" of the 1979 Iranian Revolution can pencil him in. After all, he is one of her hostage-taking buddies. One for old times.
Maybe McCain can visit her too. She was the UN's 2006 "Champion of the Earth,"for her environmental work in Iran. They have a program in place for "global warming", too--you know. They're setting the bar a little higher than 0.5-0.7 degrees C in 150 years...10,000 degrees C in under one second. Give or take.

"Um. About That Sex Scene."

"No, wet. Precum."

Get with the program. Check the archives. You are witnessing history in the making. The next, great, American mystery... Destined to set tongues wagging. Destined to set new standards for book sales.

Note, that doesn't preclude me from picturing a 30 to 50 foot "anaconda" on the ground you just trod, following one of your "wild girl" nights at a beach front bar in days gone by... And I wouldn't even think of calling a herpetologist...or Ripley's...or the Vatican. But that's a different subject-a need you didn't know you had. And most American guys expect their goddesses to have their flip-flops planted firmly on the ground, anyway.

I see you took away all the important points from The Greatest Story Ever Told! I've seen many a girl mistake snakes for lizards and wind up on Jerry Springer or Maury Povich.
Genesis 3:14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Great tie-in with the cattle and flip-flops! You, Madam, are a genius!
BTW, 'primitive" snakes, such as boas and pythons, still show vestigial pelvic bones and anal spurs that represent the remnants of hind legs. Score another one for the Bible...

Laurie Anderson also recorded a song--a very sexy one, called "Langue d'Amour"--that mentions a snake with legs. It appears to re-tell the story of the Garden in such a fashion that the girl ends up falling for the snake:
"She was a hothead; she was a woman in love."

A "hotheaded" woman, eh? Is there any other kind?
Few people know this, but America's first draft of its most famous song included the lyrics "I've been through the desert on the snake with no legs.."
Thanks for the song reference! I'll try and find a place to listen to it. "Because when he talked, he make little noises with his tongue, and his long tongue was lightly licking about his lips. Like there was a fire inside his mouth and the flame would come dancing out of his mouth. And this woman liked this very much. " No sexual imagery there!
Addenda: I found a sampler at Barnes and Noble...A spoken word album? It's been a long time! Kind of grows on you though... When I see lyrics, I try and imagine melodies. I couldn't with this one. And I guess, neither could she.

Give it a listen, though: that track has music. Actually, the album Mister Heartbreak has a lot of music on it--Adrien Belew appears on it, and as I recall so does Peter Gabriel.

I did sample about a dozen cuts and I did hear the music. It is one of the most unusual and interesting albums I've ever come across in a long time. Thanks for pointing it out for me! I'd like to hear it as a studio album, though, instead of "live." Some of the recitations seem forced done live, because she (they) assume characters. And they don't always "hit' the character in the first beat. Or 53rd. I'll wait to find it a little cheaper, though. B&N had it for $45 or so.

I Don't Get It.
Can't we just get some "McCain Off" and spray the GOP with it? Ick.
How about a "McCain Motel: Psuedo-Republicans with Bad Free Speech Records Check In—But They Don't Check Out!"
How about traps?

How much would I have to pay for a can of McCain Off?
Never mind, whatever it takes.

I had some little wackadoodle leftie tell me the other day that McCain was the front runner for the GOP, and all the little GOPers loved him.
It was a shame that was online, because it would have been nice to laugh in his face personally, rather then a: bwahahahahahahahaha! Moron!

I think I've met, like, two members of the GOP who liked McCain. At least, they said they were Republicans. And I, who dislike the term "Rino" ('cause it gets applied to me a lot), almost used that word.

Those tow are probably the same kind of "Republicans" like the one on Rush's show on Thursday, that started spouting off about "fascism" and "America doesn't have a king."
I was yelling at the radio saying, "come one, guest host, call the fake republican on it!"
