Don't believe chicks dig tanks? Go read
Redsix's latest installment of his Fallujah experience. It's all about firing that bad boy called the 120mm smoothbore. There's quite a few chicks in the comments section. i find myself looking forward to every new post by Lt. Prakash. Call it penis envy if you want, but chicks dig tanks.

First-- I dig this guy's blog. Great reading. I've obsessively read everything Wretchard and Command Post have written about Fallujah since last April. I'm a closet Fallujah-junkie.
Second-- If I was a chick, I would dig tanks. So I'm assuming lots of chicks really do dig tanks. Why? Some guesses:
In addition to the obvious "biggest gun"/phallic symbolism, a tank is a rolling sanctuary which fulfills the evolutionary desire for protection from bad things in the world. That's pretty hot.
And a tank is cutting edge fashionable. Also hot. Plus, one instinctively senses that the inside could be be decorated, accessorized, and personalized to some degree. Hot.
Plus plus, a tank comes equipped with virile and smoking hot tank operators. These guys fulfill the evolutionary desire to mate with the strongest male, increasing the chances of survival of the species. There's not a pot belly among these guys. They're as chivalrous as the day is long, and as randy as the night is young. Smmmmoooookkkkkiiinnnn HOT.
Plus plus plus, these guys come pre-equipped with fashion forward uniforms(!) AND cutting edge technologic accessories.
These guys are nothing less than Knights riding upon the biggest, baddest steeds in history. The steeds are also modern art advertisements for the virility and manhood(ahem) of their riders. How could any healthy, well-adjusted, red-blooded woman NOT love tanks, and all that that implies?

Apologize To A Cow

If you're going to keep eating them, the least you could do is say you're sorry.

Surely you jest. You are but learning the language and a few elemental concepts to form a base. And, to be scared to death.
Next year worked to death; year after, bored to death.
I think you need a few days off; studying for finals and waiting for grades does something to your mind. Apologizing to cows, Elton John, Gershwin..your mind is really wandering.
How about commenting on Mary Beth Cahill's remark that the Swifties sunk Kerry's boat? (I always believed it was thus, and gave and raised a bundle for them...they are heroes twice over).

I couldn't agree more. Studying too hard, living in the state of vegans and such, why its just too much to take.
Prescription: Take one bone in ribeye, salt and pepper generously, cook briefly over very hot coals, serve rare to medium rare, with a bottle of Cali's finest.
Repeat as necessary.
Oh, yeah, sorry Mr. Cow
Over and out.

I don't eat cows. I EAT STEARS! Almost every day for that fact!
Shell, I and my circle also contributed. Think about it, they raised and spent $22 mil, about 7% of what a Presidential candidate generates, and all of it was bang for the buck. Hehehe, that's history my friend, kinda fun to make it.
As for Mary Beth Cahill, they blew it when the made her the campaign manager. She was Ted Kennedy's chief of staff. One does not win elections in a rotten burough. One is annointed. The problem the D's have is that all the ground they hold is comprised of rotten buroughs. So, while they have people skilled at stealing votes, they do not have people skilled at winning votes. Their strategic tit is in a wringer, mwahahahaha.

I tried apologizing but all that came out of my mouth was "I'm sorry you have a few inedible parts."
The cow just stared back, blankly, chewing its cud.
It's not like I really expected a conversation, I guess. They're just food on the hoof, after all.

Ah I feel bad for eating you & you're family but you're just so tasty ah I can't help it but on the bright side atleast you'll never have to see another family member dead. & I sure glad I am not a cow. but hey maybe somebody out there wants & longs to be a cow. ah darn why do you have to taste so good? um maybe one day they'll be something else people will eat besides you. but till then you're just going to be slaughtered & therefore people will keep eating themselfes to death so none of us win. but you're still tasty yep.

Communist Broadcasting Agency
Just when i think CBS can't get any farther off the deep end of partisanship, they amaze me even further.
The owner of Nonviolence.org, Martin Kelley, said he got an interesting phone call yesterday from a CBS News publicist for—you guessed it—Dan Rather's 60 Minutes Wednesday, the same program that carried the infamous bogus memos.
'Yesterday I got a call from a publicist for CBS NewsÂ’s 60 Minutes. TheyÂ’re running a story tonight on "Deserters," U.S. military personnel who have fled to Canada rather than serve in Iraq. She was requesting that I talk up the program on Nonviolence. In nine years of publishing the peace site, I canÂ’t remember ever getting a call from a publicist before. IÂ’ve talked to reporters from major news networks and papers, and IÂ’ve talked a booking agent or two to arranging appearances on radio shows, but never a publicist.'
'So now CBS News publicists are courting bloggers. ThatÂ’s great: hey, if yÂ’all want to buy me that new Treo Smartphone or a gift certificate to Gohn Bros IÂ’ll say Dan Rather is hotter than an armadillo sunning himself between the yellow lines on the interstate'
. . .
Other liberal/anti-war bloggers who have talked about the upcoming story in preparation for tonight's broadcast include No Capital, Daily War News, Bankrupt Artist v.3
These blogs link to the same CBS News story that Kelley linked to after being contacted. [links omitted]
i'm waiting for my call from CBS, the next time they do a story that highlights a conservative point of view. Think i should hold my breath?
That's just outrageous. CBS is not a news organization; it's op-ed on TV. They should stop lying and admit it.

I don't want to get into the business of defending CBS News, but there is often a HUGE difference between a News organization and its publicity arm and more often than not, most of the two staffs are kept well away from one another. The job of the publicity arm is to go through what's on offer every week and see if they can create buzz about it. You may have noticed that this week, Glenn Reynolds received a press release from Time magazine touting an article about Tavis Smiley. The reporters and the editors probably had little, if anything to do with that ... and, indeed, might not have liked the fact that their pure "news" piece ended up being bandied about on partisan blogs.
I do think, though, this makes yet another good point about blogs having "arrived."
Okay, I'm done.

i'm Gonna Be The Head Greenskeeper, Hopefully Within The Next Six Years, That's My Schedule
Here's my schedule. Last day of class is this Friday. The following week is reading week, then from the eighth through the twenty-third is finals. My last final is actually earlier than the twenty-third though, which will give me a chance to party up here and then make it home for Christmas. Then it's back up north again for the second semester in mid January.
Blogging should be light, but you all know how i am. i'm addicted. So i'll probably post stupid shit once in a while during study breaks or whatever. i've got a few blogger interviews in the works which you'll want to stay tuned for as well. Actually, i'm gonna post a fun interview with Ginger of Candied Ginger on Thursday, so be sure to check that out. Then another really special annie-conversation later on in the month, just to keep you visitors visiting.
P.S. Speaking of interviews, Matt Rustler did mine a couple of weeks ago and i know the whole blogosphere is awaiting that posting with feverish anticipation.

Clinton Limericking
In honor of the opening of Clinton's Little Rock library, i'd like to reprint a few stanzas from
a dirty limerick by Cameron of
Way Off Bass.
. . .
While Bill on the podium dropped trou,
Making sounds like an amorous cow,
A fat intern walked by
Catching ClintonÂ’s glazed eye;
“I’m the piglet, and there goes my sow!”
So the Horn Dog rolled off of the stage
(For his belt did his ankles engage).
As he crawled on the floor,
Up came Al “Mad Dog” Gore,
And the stick up his ass he called Rage.
. . .
Cameron's site is full of political and topical poetry, if you like that kind of stuff. i'd nominate him as the
Mark Russell of the blogosphere, except nobody knows or cares who Mark Russell is, since nobody watches PBS anymore.

Semi-off topic.
It is raining here today for the CLinton Lie-bray opening. The local media and police have been saying that, in the event of rain:
NO UMBRELLAS. NO EXCEPTIONS.
If you happen to see the coverage, please note that the people sitting in front all have umbrellas. Apparently, the "No Umbrellas" rule only applies to the common folk. Rich folks and celebrities are allowed umbrellas.
The Democrats really are the party of equality and the little man.

Hugo, I ask, in all sincerity, just what do you see in Clinton? I admit, I voted for the SOB the first time he ran...but in less than a week I was regretting it!
I think annika will vouch for me that this is a sincere question; I've left my Munuvian URL out of the personal info so that you may reply to my question privately (if you so choose--obviously you may ignore this question), or perhaps you'd like to do so on your blog. Thanks for your time.
Billy's winning was the happiest of days:
"I'll make the military safe for gays!"
That promise he did break,
Saying, "Oops! A mistake!"
And he had only been Prez for three days!
No one told him you're supposed to wait at least a
week before you start breaking promises!

I like Russell, but I think he was better when he was younger. He seems to have lost a little something lately. And I have ALL of Tom Leher's music (In a boxed set, even!). Tom's humour was more than just political. Who else would have though to sing the periodic table of elements to the tune of 'I am the Model of a Modern Major General' (Gilbert and Sullivan, for those who don't know).

i got the strangest hate mail yesterday. From someone named Annika in the UK, who wants me to either kill myself or change my name. She was vague about her reasons. Here's the complete email thread (start at the bottom and read up):

The fact that the name annika is quite unique means that you fly the flag for a few certain individuals, I suggest you take a bath with your hair dryer in order to excape the monotomy that is your life! Either that or change your name to tracey and I will no longer find you offensive. Have a nice day hope to hear from you soon

I think this is a 14 year old playing around on the Internet. If not an actual 14 year old- a mental and emotional 14 year old. She is not on your level, and not worth your time or effort or worry.
I am reminded of a double date in which a couple of British girls said some goofy stuff. I was describing this double date to a friend, and he said:
"Greg, just because they're British, it doesn't mean they're not idiots!"
Its the same here: Just because she's British and online and (allegedly) named "Annika," it doesn't mean she's not an idiot!

Annie:
Anyone that uses a modifier or enhancer along with the word "unique" isn't worth the time of day.
Something or someone can not be "quite unique" or "really unique" or "somewhat unique"; someone or something is unique or it isn't.
You are; she isn't.

The great thing about the Internet is that everyone has a voice.
The worst thing about the Internet is that everyone has a voice.
Killfile her and don't think another thought. How rude!
And now, I must go and change my URL to margilowry 69 [dot] com!

Annika,
In the big picture, what do you really care what this simp thinks/writes.
And, their "prose" tells you volumes about them, wouldn't you agree?
That said, onward.
You are truly the real deal.

Hey thanks for the support everyone! And thanks to
Annika_69 for giving me something to post about on a slow Saturday.
The thing that really pisses me off is that i was thinking about changing my Yahoo! ID to
annika_69, and now i can't. i wonder if
annika_lick_me_while_i_suck_your_dick is taken? Or do you think that's too cheesy?

"The fact that the name annika is quite unique means that you fly the flag for a few certain individuals"
How sad that she needs someone else who shares her name to be the flag-bearer for her life.

Great American Smokeout
Physics Geek posted about the
Great American Smoke Out, scheduled for November 18th. i'm definitely going to try it this year (again). It's only one day. i can do 24 hours. The date is soon enough to plan for, and far enough away that i can look forward to enjoying many many more cigarettes before the nightmare of withdrawal starts.

Well, this will be fun. In addition to my own interview, I think your interview with the late Angry Clam will be superb.

I'd love to see an interview with the Angry Clam. I miss him. Whenever I needed a healthy dose of visceral fury, I could always count on the Clam! But he's clerking for the Fourth Circuit now (apparently), so he might be hard to track down.

"Since nobody wants to interview me"
I think people got the impression that you didn't want interviewing from your "IM Dialogue" entry on August 15. I don't think anybody else wants to be punk'd like "expletivedeleted" was.

Back Online
Things i've learned after not blogging for over a week:
- The electromagnetic pulse weapon is real.
- The EMP weapon is dangerous.
- It must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.
(Okay, there is no EMP device. i just fucked up somehow. Don't even ask.)
After not blogging for over a week, i was also surprised to find that:
- My head did not explode.
- The sun still came up in the morning.
- The Red Sox still found a way to blow it in the post-season.
Oops, maybe my lack of blogging did have a tiny effect on the space-time continuum.

Nice to see you back, Annie! Old Skool and I were exchanging e-mails just today, speculating about what was going on. The leading theory was that after your "butt cleavage" post your super double-secret blogger identity had somehow been compromised at the law school, and you'd decided to pull the plug. Glad we were wrong.

New Political Blog
RightViews.com is only a week old, and it looks like it may be a pretty good group blog.
Here's an excerpt from OJ's first post, which echoes my own thoughts (while watching that a-hole Keith Olberman the other night).
Why no one in the media is holding these politicians accountable for inconsistencies and in some cases absolute contradictions is beyond me. Clearly the media is traditionally liberal but these extremes are bordering on misrepresentation. Turning a blind eye, the Media is misleading the public by not reporting the whole story and as a result, is knowingly censuring the truth as it relates to the forum. Someone needs to hold the Left responsible for what they are saying.
That someone is the blogosphere, OJ. Welcome, and good luck with your new blog.

How Does He Do It?
Bill Whittle posted yet another gem.
Teaser:
[W]eÂ’ll look at what both men said, and through a very specific filter: not their Aggregate Presidentiality, or their respective Molar Charm Ratio. WeÂ’re going to look at what both men believe in respect to deterrence: whether their positions increase or decrease the likelihood of further attacks on the US.
. . .
And all of this rage and fury and spitting and tearing up of signs, all of these insults and spinmeisters and forgeries and all the rest, seem to come down to the fact that about half the country thinks you deter this sort of thing by being nice, while the other half thinks you deter this by being mean.
ItÂ’s really just that simple.
. . .
And although we can not run an experiment to look into the alternate futures to glean the best result, to determine the relative benefits of being nice or being mean – for those, ultimately, are the choices, believe it or not – we can at least look back to see which seems to have produced the best results in the laboratory of history.
Thus begins another intellectual journey, Whittle style. Set aside a couple of hours and read it all the way through.

Tony gives us the good news and the bad news about changes at The Tonight Show.
Dawn debriefs us on her visit to Panama.
Congratulations to The Physics Geek family on their new little physics geeklette!
Jen resists the siren call of the waffle king.
Thomas Galvin picked last night's MNF winner, and a few others, too.
Moxie, Paul, and Kin are among the many bloggers making fun of Kerry's latest attempt to become (his words not mine) the second black president. And Ann Althouse provides a historical perspective on this issue.
It's Victor's birthday today! If he and Nic decide to go out for dinner, who do you think will be picking up the check?

No Poetry Today
No Poetry Today, but be sure to check out Poetry Thursday on
Hugo's blog tomorrow.
Update: Victor the Rat has unilaterally decided to turn this into Joe Don Baker Haiku Day, which is such an absurd idea that i have to give it my hearty endorsement.
annika isn't celebrating Poetry Day today. In protest, I'm turning her comments into Joe Don Baker Haiku Day. Frequent annika commenter Scof has already submitted an excellent one that offers an insight into JDB that I hadn't realized before. I, of course, have submitted a couple and I'll do a couple more before the day is over.
i will judge all haikus submitted before 7:00 a.m. PDT tomorrow (for the benefit of my overseas visitors -
Kevin Kim, that means you) and the winner gets a prize from my stash of highly coveted annika's journal merchandise!

Don't know who Joe Don Baker is? Click here.
Update: Deadline extended to 10:00 p.m. Thursday night.

Charley Varrick is one of my all time favorite 70's action flicks. In fact, i'd put it up there with Bullitt, Mr. Majestyk, and The Getaway. And i'm pleased to see i'm not the only one who noticed the resemblance between Joe Don Baker and Fred Thompson. For a long time i thought they were one and the same.
My favorite Joe Don Baker line from Charley Varrick: "I didn't come all this way for the amusement of idiots."

Instead of working,
I'm checking to see if I
scored Annika graft!
Sadly, XXL
costs too much to be conferred
by a law student!
Matt- Thanks for the compliment! You have a point: Gary Cooper is Gary Cooper for people like me:
gcotharn: Bubba
watching High Noon late at night
and tapping keyboard.
But sometimes Gary Cooper is only a rumor:
Some Bubbas are not
awake to watch High Noon on
TCM Late Night.
Some Bubbas do not
visit Black and White Classics
at the Blockbuster.
To the contest!
Isn't it sad when
Joe Don and Fred Thom are more
real than: Kerry, John?
I can pay bills if
I go back to work now. Its
what Joe Don would do.
