For those of you who haven't noticed, I've been removing articles posted in Breaking news that are not news....and not even close to being news. They are someone's idea of a personal rant. And since it isn't news, I'm not going to relocate it...I'm going to REMOVE it. In the past, articles were posted in Breaking news that weren't. People got sanctioned or banned for doing that. Lately, SOME people just post any garbage they seem to have an obsession over, and even put in their own comments. That ends today. NOW. I'm not going to fight any of you over it. It's a lost cause. But I moderate this site, and I will ensure that NEWS is what is being posted. Anything that is NOT news is going to be PURGED. Got that? REMOVED. No warning. Exceptions are ONLY humor, Editorials, and Biker Bar. If it isn't news, it has no business even BEING here!!! This is a news forum. And for repeat offenders, you've been warned. When you keep doing it, and they keep getting removed...keep in mind I'm noting your names. When I have to remove too many posted by the same name ...your account will go as well. No additional warning. This is IT. So, for those of you with an axe to grind, or an idea you want to shove down our throats...over and over and over...this is your ONLY warning: Visit GoDaddy - Start your own website ... focus your obsession there. Because it isn't welcome here. You know who you are. This is something I'm NOT even going to discuss. END of Announcement and my part in any Discussion.

I'm to the point with CDs, LPs, and books that it takes me more time to find something to listen to or read that it does to actually listen or read. BTW, I just bought myself an early birthday present, a REALLY cool toy. My CD boombox in my bedroom is aging, so I went looking for a micro system to listen to NPR and CDs at night. I found this great box at Best Buy for $99. A solid wood box with a CD player, AM/FM radio, and a turntable to play my vinyl. And it works GREAT. I wouldn't use it as my primary music source, but for the bedroom, it's WAY more than enough.
And we'll win this time without disruptors like you!

At the rate she's going, graffiti on a bathroom wall will soon be more highly regarded by its readers (and have more of them) than postings at LP.

I hear that. Having a 12 year old boy and a 6 year old girl doesn't help either. BTW, I just bought myself an early birthday present, a REALLY cool toy. My CD boombox in my bedroom is aging, so I went looking for a micro system to listen to NPR and CDs at night. I found this great box at Best Buy for $99. A solid wood box with a CD player, AM/FM radio, and a turntable to play my vinyl. And it works GREAT. I wouldn't use it as my primary music source, but for the bedroom, it's WAY more than enough. Really, a turntabe? Now that's impressive. I didn't think they even made them anymore. I still have about 300-400 LP's. I bet I haven't listened to them in 20 years.
And to have been there when you started it all...

no, leveller wrote this piece. he posted it here and now i can't find. not sure if that was the exact title. LibertyPost Soon To Be Likud Post?
Ah.. okay I thought you meant on LP..
i've seen that advertised in various catalogues. i didn't realize that BB had it. does it look like an old time radio?
Should I change my name to Canary-in-the-Coal-Mine? I always manage to be one of the first banned when a forum's moderation regime starts going south.

I'll say....I just traveled over to the FReeperdome. My lord, what a pack of 1st row sitting, bow-tie wearing, fruitcakes. I can't believe what the GOP has become. They'd support Mao if he came back from the dead and swore allegiance to The Party.
I bought a new turntable about 2 years ago, paid 150 or so. I have about 100 LPs, most of which are junk because I played them a lot, and have had many of them since I was a child. Very torn up covers, unplayable disks. I also have a collection of metal/punk/weird shit from the last days of indie vinyl. I really only bought the record player to hear one album - an EP as a matter of fact, it's titled "Beautiful Music For Beautiful People", a compilation that came out on Amity Records, I believe.

And we always thought the Dems were the secret Stalinists. Man, were we wrong. The neocon cult makes the Dems seem downright American by comparison.

Sort of. More like a fancy version of the old record player box I had as a kid, with shiny real wood (I carried the damn thing a half mile; it's HEAVY). Best $99 I ever spent. They had boomboxes there that cost far more. My daughter was here today and she is lusting for it. She's 16 and started buying vinyl because she thinks it's cool, even though all she has is an Ipod. I think I'll get her one of these for her birthday. The downside is, she'll start raiding my vinyl collection, and most of it is irreplaceable and not available on CD. OTOH, she's my kid and I take great joy in seeing her take interest in things I like too. Wish I could get her to even notice baseball. I take her to Cub games every now and then. The last time, after a veggie hot dog, cotton candy, a coke, popcorn, and a tshirt, she said, you know dad, I really like baseball games. (pause) Except for the actual game.
LOL! Hmm ~naw.. closer to Poison :P
Yes, we were and apparently we're also quite unusual. We're able to recognize change and adjust appropriately to it. Many, it seems, are unable, and/or unwilling to admit that the earth beneath them has shifted and it's time to move on.
You be hardcore. BTW, if you want to replace old stuff at reasonable prices, try Reckless Records here in Chicago. They have a website where you can scroll through their vintage vinyl offering. When I was unemployed, I sold a lot of vinyl to them. They gave me a fair price, and resold it at a fair markup. If you have particular needs, they'll notify you by email when they have it and hold it for you if you like the price. Good people. Record nerds without being jerks. I have a beautiful vintage Sanyo (yes, Sanyo, they used to be high-tech) turntable from the 70s. I got it at a place here for $88, and it's perhaps the best turntable I ever owned, including a Macintosh. (Gad, I'm such an audio slut.)
LOL! :P
thank you, Mark.
Coming from the other side, I was wrong about Reagan (apart from the Central America stuff, which I'm not sure he was even aware of). When the DU types were ranking on him during the funeral, I had to admit he had good intentions and did a lot of good things, unlike these punks. That's when I realized that liberals and conservatives, at least honest ones, have a lot more in common than it would seem. Unlike those thugs, we really love this country. I still think there will be a populist party arising at some point. At least the Dems are backing populist guys like Webb. As opposed to purging them, like the GOP.
i can relate. :P (i like your father/daughter stories)
I'm not selling any of it. I have an MTI Rotophaser cabinet I use as a step stool. I need it, for street cred or something.

I have to concur. The decency here is amazing. I got abused in leftie sites (not to the level of http://boottothehead.com and LP and my very brief appearances at FR) and got sick of the nitpicking crap. This is a welcoming place where you can actually discuss issues. It's educational. I can listen to another perspective and judge myself, because it's not phrased as "believe this or you're a commie." My daughter is trying to jump from sophomore in high school to college, at a Great Books place called Shimer. We spent the weekend there and they actually had a poetry class for parents so we could see how a class runs there. After about five minutes, we were fighting to read the next poem and when the kids, who were off doing an essay contest for scholarships, came back, they kept them in the hall so we could continue the discussion. When you open things up, you open minds. I had never read this poem before, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Here Dead Lie We Because We Did Not Choose Here dead we lie because we did not choose To live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; But young men think it is, and we were young. A.E. Housman That was written after WWI, but it's even more applicable today.
I hope he's everything that's advertised; he seems to be so far. I completely agree about populism. It's a winning formula that neither party can package and deliver. I remember the warning Buchanan gave the Pubbies during the NAFTA debate. He said if they opposed it (as you recall Clinton literally purchased it w/congressional pork) they'd be in the majority for the foreseeable future. They not only didn't listen to him, they literally read him out of the party. Oh well, it’s water under the bridge now. We’re owned by the corporatists, for now at least.
Neocons on the front line.
The operative words. My view is that real liberals and real conservatives are getting sick of this crap. Hillary Clinton doesn't speak for me and Bush does not speak for conservatives. I grew up in a time where both parties got along more or less, and tried to do their best for our country. People like Hagel will take over the GOP and people like Obama will take over the Dems, one hopes. Then we can get back to arguing civilly and intelligently and get rid of the looney toons.
Both are interesting, passionate and neither fits into a political box. It would be one heck of a ticket.
Statist trash, both of them. :) "People like truth, it gives us a fucking benchmark." - dakmar
I like telling them. Before she was born, I had dreams about her as a teenager. She's pretty much what I expected. Difficult at times, but a really good kid. I sorta let her rebel, because you have to, and when she went overboard, twice, I put my foot down. Two days later, we were best friends again. I'm trying to nudge her in directions so she doesn't make the mistakes I did, having no guidance at all. But I keep it subtle. She's smarter than I am. I wandered around, taking college courses here and there, but I never understood how you go about doing what you really want to do. I wrote about sports and music for a few years for almost no money, I worked for a record company, I spent a year working for ASCAP, driving around the country taping radio stations, and all kinds of stuff. It all worked out, but I could have ended up doing what I really like, writing, if I had some sort of help when I was a kid. She gets that help. Subtly, but she knows she's a talented writer and knows I will help her when she needs it. I would rather have died than show my parents my writing; if I ask, she sends me her stuff. The most interesting thing I saw was when she was a freshman, and joined the poetry slam team. The only white kid on it. And she rocked. I was walking with her one day near her school, and two black girls came up and said, Kathleen, you were incredible last night. She nearly fell through the sidewalk; they didn't know I was her father. She just muttered thanks and asked me NOT to discuss it.
I spent three days with Obama and Durbin after the Dem convention, doing a story about Obama for his college magazine. I think he's the real deal, even if he treated me a bit like an assassin. He's got the brain power and the personality. I saw him give 30 speeches in four days (I left at noon on the fourth day) and while they were similar, they were never the same. Hagel is a real conservative, a principled one. He knows right from wrong. Someone suggested that ticket a few months ago, and I think it could work. It shows how desperate the right wing is, the attacks on both of them. They call Obama Hussein and Hagel, Senator Stupid.
Actually making things better for the world, US citizens at large in particular, is not the way one rises to top of either party.

Hear! Hear! At least the Dems are backing populist guys like Webb. As opposed to purging them, like the GOP. Damn straight. Now, if they would only nominate him or someone like him for president. They'd clean the GOP's clock. They might even put it out of its misery...permanently. Say, Mekons4, in the spirit of junking the false left-right paradigm and getting our freedom back, what's your take on possible GOP candidate Ron Paul?

Great poem. Ya know, the MIC was really on the run after WWI. People were fed up with em and were determined to defund em. Non-interventionism and pacifism were ascendent. I guess that's why they had to raise up a new monster (Hitler) to teach us all a lesson. And that sure did the trick, didn't it?

Most excellent!
The result was a rise in revolutionary temperature throughout Mediterranean Jewry, and a second expulsion of the Jews from Rome by the emperor Claudius on the ground, we are told, that they "constantly made disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus." With this statement the name of Christ first appears in Roman history.
The same 'mo' as happened to FR once the blood-sucking zionists got their 'hooks' into JimRob. Oh so similar, indeed!

IMO, not electable. I like the guy, but I like Kucinich too. Unfortunately, you gotta have about $100 million to even think about it. Frankly, I would accept anyone who can put four words together and isn't owned by big business. After the last 6 years, I'm just anti-Republican. I don't want a one-party state, so if Ron Paul got enough backing, I would seriously consider him. I'd like a guy who promised to send the army into K Street and arrest or kill everyone who worked there.
Actually, to show I walk the walk, I voted for a far-right Republican this year. He was running against THUGS in the Dem party here, a punk who was inheriting his father's seat on the Cook County board. The old man had a massive stroke, but still won because the punk kid came out and claimed the old man, John Stroger, was DOING FINE. He was a vegetable. So the old man won, barely, and then suddenly named his kid, Todd Stroger, to replace him. You should have seen the signature. Someone held the veggie's hand and signed for him. So I voted for an anti-abortion, anti-gay rights, anti-healthcare Republican. Because I don't like being insulted.
A Paul/Kucinich or Kucinich/Paul national unity ticket it is, then. I'd vote for that in a heartbeat.
