"Five Gays Blast Good Morning America"

"The famed sex columnist Dan Savage saw it similarly. “I think it's a ridiculous double standard,” he said. “People are comfortable with us so long as we're not having sex or being sexual or doing anything that might cause someone who is uncomfortable with the idea of gay sex to have to wrestle with mental images of gay sex. It's one thing to be gay like Neil Patrick Harris on the Tony Awards (culturally gay). It's another thing to be gay like Adam Lambert was on the American Music Awards (sexually gay). Americans can handle gay people, they can look at us on TV, but they still have issues with gay desire, and they have a hard time looking at that on TV.”

Gay organizations also blasted Lambert for portraying a gay stereotype on the awards show.

Happy Gobble it up T-Day !!
Helen played to the crowd on a grand return home !! Gave em what they want...

So when does Mr Crawford make a "home swing"

Hi Corey,
I blast Lambert,i hate gay stereotypes being displayed...The bigger picture though is important and I think gay people are correct to point out the double standard..

Hi Ping

Skidboot is a famous dog. There used to be a show called Pet Star on
Animal Planet. Every week animals would perform tricks and the audience would vote for the best. At the end all the animals that won the weekly show got to compete for the best of the best and win $10,000 for their owner. Skidboot won the big prize.

Leaving shortly for a weekend getaway. Gonna have a thanksgiving buffet dinner this afternoon cooked by a CIA trained chef..... YUM!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!

All the prep is done and the great cooking extravaganza doesn't begin for awhile. I'm beating my son away from the deviled eggs and it is only 6:45 a.m.

Hope you all have a wonderful day with many reasons to give thanks.

the word on trail male is that they are watching to see if the dislocated shoulder is going to knit right.........."only time will tell"

that's a great feat of party crashing those 2 pulled off.......I wonder if it's against the law to crash a white house crabfest......

Oh, I know, Tony. I know that the things I saw happen on stage would never get aired on broadcast tv, either. Male dancers jumping up and wrapping their legs around other male dancers etc...It was all funny to me just to listen to the reaction of the Kylie crowd, because they were loving it.

I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told, I have squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles such are promises: all lies and jests. Still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

Happy Thanksgiving to all,

At least for today, let's hope everyone at TrailMix can enjoy a glass that's at least half-full.

Ha Corey,
I know the Kylie crowds! I saw Kylie Live In Melbourne,Australia.It was her firs concert back after her cancer...The gay men were going crazy over the dancers antics..Its so different if your at a gay club or the concert of a gay icon..Oh,hell yes most of the stuff would never make it to TV or DVD..I saw the same concert I went to in Melbourne on DVD,what a difference...

Happy Thanksgiving, one and all !

On the subject of gay performance

Just got back from Vegas, The wife got tickets to a circ du soli spinoff called The Rev. It was created by one of the Circ designers. Great spectecal. Water ballet combined with acrobatics highwire and clowns.
A friend, who is gay, and a coworker of the wife, recomended it. The first 10 min of the show has a dozen young hard bodied men dancing and performing. They were bare chested and dressed in the minimum to keep the show family friendly. I turned to the wife and and told her. "Now we know why Tom was so enamoured with the show"
It was a great performance and a lot of fun. we had tickets in the splash zone where you get some interaction with the performers. most of it was in the form of getting wet from them splashing water on you.

Oh and the young woman who swam up to where I was sitting and reached out to me with yearning desire wasn't bad either.

Hey Jack,
Sounds Great!! "Now we know why Tom was so enamored with the show",ha ha, sounds about right!! Love Vegas for the shows..Glad you rback here though.I'm thankful for you and all you give here,i mean it too!! Happy TG to you both....

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

Didn't Lambert kick a woman in the crotch during that performance -- not long before slamming her face to his crotch? It's funny -- I don't think I paid much attention to the gay issue -- just the near-violence part!

Happy Thanksgiving to all here!

Hello Folks,

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Don't over eat until you get to dessert! LOL

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Craig, I imagine you may be in Florida with your family, enjoying the warm weather. Enjoy, wherever you are.

I don't know that anyone will like this article, but I did, probably because I'm here: “Texas vs. California”—hardly any phrase more succinctly captures the battle going on today for America’s philosophical soul. http://blog.american.com/?p=7451

Performers often mask their lack of talent using shock and vulgarity to excite the jackasses in the audience.

Great talents should not do that. Adam Lambert is a great talent. He needs to emulate real great talents, not Madonna and Brittany Spears.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all--we had a great time here in the knobs--great food, great memories, lots of laughter & hugs--

And great clouds rolling in and a chance of SNOW FLURRIES (rare this early) the next two days--which reminds me of an old favorite--

I hope everyone is having a nice Thanksgiving. I'm really surprised how many businesses are open today.

When I was a boy living in a small Oregon town, the few gas stations in town would take turns being open for part of Thanksgiving. I don't think the grocery stores were open at all.

Correction: October 26, 2008
An article in some editions last Sunday about the Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter misidentified the film in which she revealed the source of her interest in jazz music. It was “Straight No Chaser,” not “ ’Round Midnight.”

General Patton's Address to the Troops
http://www.pattonhq.com/speech.html

William Shakespeare, 1599

Enter the KING

WESTMORELAND. O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work to-day!

KING. What's he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Sturgeone

I love the St. Crispian's Day speech. I suppose every actor worth his salt has tried it at one time or another.

Willie gave them such wonderful words to "Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue". If I remember that play had a pretty good soliloquy in it as well. :-)

Good morning on Black Friday! I'm wondering if it's safe to venture out for a diet Cherry Coke and a sausage biscuit....last year I went to an all-night McDonalds at 4:30 am, and the WalMart parking lot was jammed.

thought for the day:

BURP!

song for the day:

"pop, pop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is"

(better jingle for dom perignon than alka seltzer)

good morning, patsi. just don't go anywhere near a best buy this morning. even a succulent dripping with honey sausage bisquit's not worth it.

sea, how's the son? and did the day get more exciting as you predicted?

Pat, I was afraid to ask.

what's a thanksgiving shindig without good old police intervention? It'd be like a picnic without the ants......Maybe they'll all be invited to the white house for a beer...........

zhu zhu pets? That's pressing that must-have but impossible to get toy scenario a bit too far..........

Good Morning all..
I'm so glad I don't need to shop for anything..Worked myself silly yesterday but it was nice...Gave most of the left over's away except for the cheesecake...

Patsi,
I wished you had a piece of my Pumpkin cheesecake topped with nuts and caramel..

"Thanksgiving, the Soldiers, and that Eleanor Roosevelt Quote"

"If you want to know what powerful women are up against, this photo gives you an example. I’m thankful that Michelle Obama can rise above, even as Google has seen fit to apologize for the image rising to high rank on its search. It would leave me speechless, except that I remember well what Hillary Clinton had to go through during her reign as first lady (and well beyond, let me add). The images weren’t racist, but the misogyny and sexist slaps were equally insulting. Powerful women get this all the time. Judge Sotomayor knows all about it. But you can’t keep strong women down. We are undaunted by the deluge.

“Every woman in public life needs to develop skin as tough as rhinoceros hide.” – Eleanor Roosevelt"

"Wikipedia denies mass exodus of editors

how does one become an editor? are their editors paid? if so, how much or by what manner? is there a listing anywhere?

zazu schlemiel........

The movie industry became increasingly ambivalent about her; while many had supported her in the primary, the HUAC investigation of the film colony was at a fever pitch and had “torn the community apart,” as she recalled the schism. Ronald Reagan remained one of her staunchest allies. But near the end of the campaign, his future wife, Nancy Davis, took him to a Nixon rally, where he heard the actress Zasu Pitts rail against the Pink Lady. He was converted on the spot. Though Reagan’s defection was apparently never known to Helen, he hosted a clandestine impromptu fundraising dinner for Nixon shortly after the Pitts speech. While a relatively few small donations came in to the Douglas campaign, only a handful of Hollywood celebrities wanted to be publicly associated with her, and in stark contrast to all of her previous congressional campaigns she was unable to coordinate a single movie star gala. Only the diehard loyalists—Myrna Loy and Eddie Cantor—came forward enthusiastically. Instead, it was Nixon who garnered the most Hollywood support with such bigwigs as Cecil B. DeMille, Howard Hughes, Anne Baxter, John Wayne, Rosalind Russell, and dozens more

I'm angry at myself and angry at Expedia.

Earlier in the week I ordered airplane tickets for Tuesday so that Stinky and I could go pick-up our car. I fully intended to leave home before dawn with Toots driving us to the Charlotte airport.

Yesterday, I had an email from my brother asking what my travel arrangements were as he is going to pick us up at the Akron-Canton airport. He, of course, was supposedly cc'd on the Expedia itinerary, but that never reached him.

No problem, I simply went to my copy and started a cut and paste. Suddenly, I saw all the times were p.m. rather than a.m.. Sheesh, no, make that a double sheesh.

When I booked the damned things I specifically checked the box for an a.m. departure. And, leading the list, they had stuck in a 6:10p.m. flight. So I cancelled it and rebooked on a different airline.

This time, the same anomaly occurred with p,m. flights right in there with the morning ones. And, it wasn't caused by Expedia sorting by price as the prices for these particular flights were the same.

So, that leaves me out about $300 because of their programming and my poor eyesight compounded by my practice of giving times on a 24-hour clock.

I'm pleased by it.

One of the things the Korean culture inherited from the Japanese is a tendency towards xenophobic reactions to foreigners.

Perhaps they'll learn such reactions aren't nice if they are smacked over the head often enough.

"Another Helping of FDR Please"

"President Obama has produced a credible, if not exactly inspired Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Most of the statement relies on the usual boilerplate language employed by our recent presidents, although Obama's message is a bit more anthropological than those of his predecessors – referring to the first Thanksgiving as "a harvest celebration between European settlers and indigenous communities."

The president also tosses in some universalism: "As Americans, we hail from every part of the world. While we observe traditions from every culture, Thanksgiving Day is a unique national tradition we all share. Its spirit binds us together as one people, each of us thankful for our common blessings."

And, of course, there's the call "to express appreciation to those whose lives enrich our own; and to share our bounty with others."

When all is said and done, however, Obama's proclamation is no more poetic, and no more adventurous, than those issued by George W. Bush."

another excerpt from the article sturge linked:

"Five years after the historic 1950 California match, Chotiner spoke to a Republican National Committee school for campaign workers about the Douglas-Nixon race and political strategy for the future. It would be one of many secret lectures Chotiner would give to “GOP schools” and where he would meet the protégés who would succeed him: Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. His 14,000-word syllabus, which became a legendary GOP dirty tricks manifesto, laid out a simple formula: “Discredit your opponent before your own candidate gets started…associate your opponent with an unpopular idea or organization, with just a suggestion of treason…above all, attack, attack, attack, never defend.”

sound familiar?

So....how exactly does one crash a White House party and get their picture taken with Joe Biden? Those people are heroes on Facebook for being "the ultimate party crashers".

whilst perusing the stuff on chotiner, atwater et al, came upon this about rove. interesting take on how he affected the dembats.

"He had Democrats running around in circles for years, afraid of their own shadows, looking over their shoulders for fear that Karl Rove might be standing behind them. No plan was so good that Rove could not foil it; no plot was so secure that Rove could not divine it; no victory was so assured that Rove could not turn it into defeat. It was all poppycock of course, but in politics perception was reality, and that was the perception. Rove won elections not because he was a good strategist, but because he gave birth to today's weak-kneed Democratic political class.
Karl Rove indeed deserves a place in the pantheon of great American evil strategists, with the likes of Mark Hanna and Lee Atwater. Rove defeated Democrats not by out-organizing them as Hanna did, or by out-sliming them as Atwater did, but by convincing them he was the Devil. He then sat back and watched as they defeated themselves. In a way, Rove was the most insidious evil strategist of them all."

So this is Christmas?

Today Is Black Friday, The Gift That Keeps On Giving.

Who else thinks basing 2/3 of our huge economy on mass consumption of Chinese products is a good idea?

What’s the point of Christmas again? What is the reason for the season? To Shop till we drop?

http://youhavetobethistalltogoonthisride.blogspot.com/2009/11/tgif-circus-life-black-friday.html

ree, there's also something a wee bit unseemly about the news stories, the hype, the fomented excitement alongside the reality of families losing homes, jobs to an economy like that... and the other rather silent reality of families being torn apart from within and without by an over-extended war.
someone here (solar?) was asking why aren't we acting like we have in the past during a war, why aren't we being called to sacrifice a little bit here on the homefront? seems our current patriotic duty is only to consume and rack up big bills wrapped in the flag.

Hope you all had a pleasant holiday. We are off to visit Mr. Ranier for the day.

patd,

we were told in the last administration that the most patriotic thing we could do next to joining up to fight the war was to go out and shop. If we don't do that then the terrorists win. Remember?

Pat,

Yes; and only part of it. Everyday that passes more, and more are losing their homes. We haven't even had one thread about the lost ones....we are throwing our money away also in that we have 800 bases around the world...most that we don't need...lots of$ to support the personal to maintain them...

Tony,

It's easy to start a country:

The hard part is to back it up with force....then U can write the laws. constitution to make the original people illegals, and minorities......

No one hear has said anything about the NY judge that ruled against a bank for playing games with a home owner that was in forecloseure...after may, many months of refusing, to negotiate with the home owner,,the judge ruled against...West Bank...for 295K dollars..the lady got her paid in full, from a very pissed of Judge...

THIS story should be airing every ten munuets ; so that the banks can see what a real activist judge looks like......instead of running the story about the White House party Crashers...wtf...is important to this country????

paid in full home...that is.

I am thankful I have opposable thumbs.

Jamie,

Rainier park area is beautiful year around. I assume you enter from the west (Ashford). imo, that's a much more scenic trip than from the SE (Packwood).

I couldn't help but look through your family pix. I know you enjoy genealogy and seeing some of the older photos reminded me of a friend's gen blog. She enjoys writing too and does a good job incorporating her writing and researching skills with her old family photos into one of her several blogs.

72 F @ the greenhouse today.

I have been up to my eyeballs in another engineering project. After setting up the jigs and milling equipment , I have been making dozens and dozens of plastic parts. In conjunction with this project, I embarked on a patent search. I think I may be able to get the first step done in filing for a patent.

Whether I missed missed it or not remains to be seen, but my working model is taking shape on the floor down at the "Spark Lab ", and it is really fucking cool.

Anyone in my age bracket, remembers the murder of President Kennedy, the shooting of President Reagan, the two attempts on President Ford..I hope there is some way to hold the morons who evaded White House Security accountable....

OD,
I'm really glad this couple found the holes in security, and I don't necessarily blame the Secret Service. Better them than someone with more deadly intent.

Obama has had a record number of threats, the fact anyone could get through shows a real problem.
