So, what’s been going on? I haven’t had a chance to really pay attention to much of anything in the news, except that I saw yet another crook in the DOJ resigned. Not much new there. Happy Birthday to the Syracuse Peace Council, celebrating its 71st birthday today.
pj:
a few days ago i found a page of RSS code (i think it’s called) that gave the whole list of emo’s. i went looking for it this morning but i couldn’t find it.
i was going to copy that section and post it for cresttwo. where did it go? or, rather, how do i get there again?
I’m not sure what it was you were looking at. I just put a page up for smilies (linked under Pages on the right), though, if that helps.
roxieseattle, Cheers, It is grand seeing you.
I was “caught in a loop” . I remember, in sorrow, when Roger [Syd] Barrett died. And then I must “dig” up Monster Mash, also.
Did I, again, confused most everyone? But I “dig” the Haunting. 🙂
a.i.v. Remember to get the cd at least since album was lost 🙄
perfect! thanx pj (first tme i’ve seen the bee — some come thru on my mobile just spelled out).

see above to speak emo.

Cheers PJ … G’Day! (yet it is still night here, but waning :smack: )
(note to self: Do have another window open to see new postings 🙄 since it takes me forever to contemplate (dissect), muse, then type.) … A.I.V.
On Tuesday, Fox News morning show “Fox & Friends†aired at least eight segments on a purported “news†story that was actually a parody article written by a publication similar to The Onion.

Morning, Kristapea. Tea :joe: Cheers. :pirate: :yippee:
:pirate: A.I.V. pirate just to say most/all here is a bit activist oriented, just by being here.. 😀
Sunshine Jim, Tea :joe: Cheers. :pirate: :yippee: 😉 a.i.v.
WOW, has it really been that long … this “HOME” site is so strange, but wonderful, under the “umbrella” called Marc Maron.
(in a sing-song way: Thank You, PJ)
jim – amen.
any more :bee:s hatch overnight?
I think Gypsy is writing a book and her computer sux still and she can’t really blog at work.
love you all!
am currently enjoying
a latte made with a friends home roast!
A.I.V.! backatcha! Lifefullness! Truthiness and the Sacred Snark!
Bees are outside now.
have’nt looked this morning yet.
but i guarentee ya as soon as the suns out
we’re gonna see some serious pollinating going on here!
whatever happens they’ve been a joy, and represent a battle won for Gaiaa!
gypsy!
(troll cream recipe a delight!)
if you run across her give her my best wishes!
:bow: gaia :bow:
i should be getting my beehouses this week. hope some of the locals make their home there.
and PJ
thanks so much for giving us a good home!
I just thought of getting or making a bee house but with my luck, killer bees would make their home there. :reaper: :bee:
eya roxie!
the garden stores should have a few boxes of mason bees!
i’m willing to drive down to B’ham anytime btw
with a care package of buzzers!
killer bees?
with guns and nuclear devices?
nah… no worries, mason bees are solitary nesters.
killer bees, which it turns out are’nt so ‘killer’, are hive bees, honey bees.
and don’t come this far north either. please reconsider.
every plant around you will thank you.
Kristapea,
you and many others were on my mind this AM.
i know how you all react and think about things without ever having seen you all.
sometimes that just pops out and spoings me.
along with realising that we should have
kept in touch with every person
that ever posted here.
(‘we’ being somewhat of a flexible term. oh well, live and learn for the next round!)
ya!
Africanized bees are superb in some localities it turns out.
“The Africanized hybrid bees have become the preferred type of bee for beekeeping in Central America and in tropical areas of South America because of improved productivity. However, in most areas the Africanized hybrid is initially feared because it tends to retain certain behavioral traits from its African ancestors that make it less desirable for domestic beekeeping. Specifically (as compared with the European bee types)”
i wonder if she feeds her bees hfcs – high fructose corn syrup. “some people” have speculated that this might :bee: making the colonies more susceptible to disease/parasites.
thanx jim, i might take you up on that if i can’t find any locally. btw how is the mr blog doing.
shoot, i missed an opportunity — i wonder if she feeds her africanized :bee::bee::bee: hfcs?
tell ya the first time i stuck my nose in a bee hive it scared me big time!
i was along with my beekeeper friend Lyle and he was gathering up a swarm and puttong it in one of his bee boxes.
after about 15 minutes i was so fascinated by them i lost my fear of them altogether. (fear, not respect, bees know how to back you off when you get to pushy!)
Sunshine Jim , I think you get “haunted” by things (here too) , but you just use different terms [ we eccentrics]. In England it is a positive term, but in the US it is a negative.term. :yinyang: :rofl2: 😉
a.i.v. :bee: S R 8) [cool]
MRR bloggie?
my dear home bloggie?
everyone backed off and is catching up at home and work. we’ve lost (temporarily i think) hundreds of guests and nubies. the core group posts and comments, a few pop up to check on whats going on and then fade back to their own home spots. we’ve always done a bit of migrating so we’re doing more. i’ve been cruising more than i have for years, hitting mainly second and third generation blogs. more than enough news and opinion for me. and i’ve been taking on more contract work myself so i’m busy.
i’ve been lurking more as well, monitoring and using the writing time i usually spend on the blogs for my own writing.
i have two screen plays ready to go, quite a few stories written, working on three more currently and still actively archiving and researching.
Somebody e-mail Marc and tell him that soon Future Marc May Be a Reality..
Absolutely Druid_666!!!
U and me are perceptual mavens.
eya brilliantatbreakfast! mornin!
ha! was just over at your site after thinking about you.

hope this makes into the sunday tv punditry.
WASHINGTON — More than a year before the Bush administration has said it first considered firing US attorneys, a top Justice Department official asked lawyers to determine how the administration could temporarily fill vacant US attorney positions with appointees who had not been confirmed by the Senate
In a September 2003 memo, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, which answers legal questions for the president and his appointees, described a way to install a replacement US attorney who could serve up to 330 days without Senate confirmation.
But the memo also said that any appointee would eventually still have to win confirmation from the Senate or be approved by a federal court to continue serving. Two years later, the administration quietly got a provision inserted into the USA Patriot Act reauthorization bill giving itself the power to permanently appoint replacement US attorneys without Senate or court approval.
snip
Lawmakers of both parties have said they didn’t know the provision had been slipped into the Patriot Act reauthorization bill, and both chambers have voted to repeal the change
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2007/04/28/memo_describes_installing_unconfirmed_prosecutors/
We know that Michael O’Neal, an aide to Rove (of course) was hired by Specter as part of the deal for Specter to keep his chairmanship of the Judiciary. And, we know that O’Neil put in that provision. Did he really do it without Specter knowing? Is that legal.
back in a bit!
guests bearing donuts have showed up unannounced!

Gypsy will be back. She did check in while also “working” on everything, including her health, and working on book. I did send out some “Candle[s] in the Window including for her and she responds and checks. You, Sunshine Jim, are probably “picking” up on her, since this is around the time she should be checking in and I too was beginning to “watch” for her postings — next Action to “threaten” her with HAVING to :bee: gin a “Candle in Window Heralding Her HOME.. And I do not stop until I get a Blog answer or I hear their “voice”. :pirate: :rofl2: Mwah HaHa.
(A Few People Here Even Say, “ENOUGH!”.)
Gypsy has been 8) lately and so far always answers the threats 😉 . So “Candle[s] in Window…” is still in retirement, but TINE I re-check with CNICK. I talked with him severl times, then Father Passed and I am Late in recalling him. :omg: 😉
A.I.V. … :peace:
sue p and other blogren:
–it’s not a sprinkle, it’s not even a hard rain… it’s a downpour, a levy (levee?) smashing flood of scandals bursting over the white house.
it doesn’t even matter if the appt. without oversight provision was probably legal — but it’s so f’ing sneaky. so “creepy meetings of totalitarian plotters,” it’s so slimy and despicable it’s got to gross out another few percent of the faithful.
—it’s nixon time truthseekers (channelling malloy). i was there then, and i can smell the stench of overwhelming public disgust rising off this administration..this justice dept revelation will give several more republicans in the house and senate just the excuse they need to turn away from bushco in disgust. (“i would never have supported such nefarious activities, these are not “‘family values, moral character, republican principles……”‘).
—i can barely stand it, i’m so elated. i don’t yet entirely trust that the fiends won’t turn it around somehow (9/11 redux), but i’m almost there!

:dancers: :banana: :dancers:

all we need now is some footage of bush swearing like a sailor or commenting on some babe with a fellow fratboy enabler and he’d have almost nobody left except laura and barney….and, if the tabloids are right, maybe only barney.
whew! sorry i just turned this into my personal blogsite but i had to share.
Ha!
listening to Svetlana the Russian Prostitute at snotgreen.
C’mon Druid_666 admit it! that was you doing the voice on those was’nt it?
:banana:
Go Roxie!
:yippee:
jim:
nah, druid was born in the wrong decade. she’s a sixties flowerchild. not svetlana, more like “goldy” — remember the skit “tea with goldy” from …the smother’s brothers show maybe…
“tea with goldyâ€
the smother’s brothers show!
:rofl2: have’nt thought about that for decades!
ya! think ya got her genesis pegged but she’s morphed since!
I hear you, roxieseattle, but the reason I keep going back to the O’ Neal connection to the insertion of that clause into the Patriot Act is that I believe it is a direct line to Rove.
He’s Rove’s former aide. He’s forced on Specter as part of a deal. He inserts a provision into the patriot act without (if you believe Specter) Specter’s knowledge. At whose behest did he do that? Rove’s, no doubt.
Somehow, I think that a conspiracy to subvert legislation is probably not a sanctioned activity. Of course if it is, we should all take a trip to DC and add our own revisions to legislation as we see fit.
right on Sue P! Indeed!
:bee:
i think beekeeping should be in every curriculum in the USA.!
Sue P , re: 40 :nod: … and why hasn’t O’Neal been ARRESTED yet? I do not trust anyone … I vacillate regarding if Specter knew?
He was going through ” chemotherapy”, I believe. I do not trust the rethugs and the whole administration needs to be recalled EVEN all Judges that were hired.

sue, lost my connection while posting.
something like: it may not be the crime but the coverup once more. let’s say someone reconstructs an email discussing how useful it would be to “autoimatically delete emails after x days” on the RNC connected site. is this not criminal conspiracy?
—i just get giddy contemplating a long hot summer of investigations!

Ha! They’ll just blame the sweat beads on their head to global warming! Is it getting hot in here?? :hot: :paranoid:
druid: wish i were there, too.
please somebody post the youtube link for the impeachment-in that druid is talking about.
druid, please stop editing your posts. i don’t often go back & therefore miss stuff.
just add a new post and reference the previous post so i don’t miss what you’re adding.
thank you ms druid666.
I often think that the loyal Bushies are going down in flames as we all watch, but I have to admit that I’ve thought that for a long time, and yet they remain standing.
Clinton’s impeachment was based on a false statement about sex in a civil suit. These guys have stolen (Abramoff, Delay, Ney, Noe), lied to congress and of course to us, subverted the constitution so as to nullify checks and balances, improperly politicized every area of government, stolen elections, become experts at committing election fraud, invited a male protitute into the whitehouse repeatedly, and all the other little and about to blow up scandals that swirl around them and still they are not impeached. How can this be?
XENA … YAAAAAAAAAA
There was a She-Ra, who was a pal to He-Man.
Sheena I have heard, but forgotten :doh: 🙄
A.I.V. … has anyone else heard CURRANT INFO on SF Beach Action. :pirate: I also heard a balloon is to go up in ?Portland?, Oregon!
sue: someone — nixon, reagan ?? was called a teflon president — no matter how much (legitimate) shit hit the fan and blew in his direction…none of it stuck.
who knows why it starts sticking: the tipping point, …astrological influences, …overreaching due to arrogance brought on by outrageosly unbelievable success for so long,… whatever…
rejoice!

Happy Birthday to the Syracuse Peace Council, celebrating its 71st birthday today.
And they’re celebrating with me! I won’t say how many for me, but it’s less than 71.

Saw Hot Fuzz today. Very funny flick. It’s from the same guys who did Shaun Of The Dead a couple of years ago. And it’s about as gory as that movie too, so be warned.
Speaking of Amy Winehouse… :alc:
I found her first album on import today! The one they didn’t release in the US. Just got home and haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet. Amy has been quoted as saying she doesn’t like it much at all, although she enjoys performing the songs live, but I’m going to judge it on its own merits.
Happy birthday to me!

Official Caught Using Escort Service Demanded Anti-Prostitution ‘Loyalty Oaths’
Former U.S. AID director Randall Tobias, who resigned yesterday upon admitting that he frequented a Washington escort service, oversaw a controversial policy advocated by the religious right that required any US-based group receiving anti-AIDS funds to take an anti-prostitution “loyalty oath.â€
Aid groups bitterly opposed the policy, charging that it “was so broad — and applied even to their private funds — that it would obstruct their outreach to sex workers who are at high risk of transmitting the AIDS virus.†But President Bush wouldn’t budge.
