For the most part, this world was created by longtime Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. .....

Songwriting, he writes, is “above all else and beyond all else, a language of direct emotion”; hence he did not allow his lyrics to be printed with Dead recordings initially, preferring listeners to mistake the words to their own liking.
“I never foresaw the day when someone would jimmy those words apart and do an encyclopedic search of their meanings,” he told Billboard in a rare interview. “Maybe it’s my age, but a lot of those (annotations) seemed obvious to me—but it occurs to me now that they might not be evident to succeeding generations.”

Indeed, he pointed to a line in Dead classic “Truckin“‘: “She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same/Living on reds, vitamin C and cocaine.”

”What suggested that was a (1950s) Pepsodent commercial,” Hunter said. “I thought a few people would pick up on it, but, of course, no one did.”

Yes, it all makes sense to me now.

...I wrote down random numbers to correspond with each line (such that) the first would have three syllables, the next five, then eight—or whatever. Then I took that format and wrote the words, and then wrote another verse to match. So I chose to obey a different numerical law than the usual type of rock song structure, and it came out as one of the strongest songs I’d ever written.”

Hold me.

Umberto Bombana, Chef de Cuisine at Hong Kong’s Ritz Carlton hotel, prepares ‘Lobster in Savoy Cabbage, Anchovy and sweet Garlic Sauce, Porcini Mushroom Emulsion’, with the 1.2 kg Alba white truffle at the hotel in Hong Kong November 18, 2005. The rare fungus was bought by a consortium of Hong Kong bidders during a satellite-linked charity auction in the Castle of Grinzane Cavour near Alba, Italy on November 13, 2005 for 95,000 euro ($111,477). The truffle was served at a private dinner in Hong Kong on Friday

Get away with murder, then bitch about it. 

I’m off to bed, wondering if I’m going to wake up to this news.

Iran has purged its entire financial structure down to local bank managers [to facilitate buying black market items] and has today bought nuke plans on the black market. [Frants wets itself and runs in circles; as per usual]

Iran has sufficient material to make at least 6 nuke bombs so even the hope of Israel bombing a facility is, now, useless.  Not to mention that Iran is harboring the entire senior leadership of alQ.

“Anybody who worries about [how/why we started in Iraq] doesn’t understand America!  We are a forward thinking nation who gets the job done!” [that from a fella named ‘Mansoor’… Listen sharp, McKinney.]

Not to mention that their leader boy Whassisname is stone nutz.  oy.

....Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) was recognized at 5:20 p.m. Schmidt won a special election in August, defeating Iraq war veteran Paul Hackett, and is so new to Congress that some colleagues do not know her name.

She told colleagues that “a few minutes ago I received a call from Colonel Danny Bubp,” an Ohio legislator and Marine Corps Reserve officer. “He asked me to send Congress a message: Stay the course. He also asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message: that cowards cut and run, Marines never do.”

Dozens of Democrats erupted at once, pointing angrily at Schmidt and shouting repeatedly, “Take her words down”—the House term for retracting a statement. For a moment Schmidt tried to keep speaking, but the uproar continued and several GOP colleagues surrounded her as she sat down, looking slightly dazed. Presiding officer Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) gaveled in vain for order as Democrats continued shouting for Schmidt to take back her words. Rep. Martin T. Meehan (D-Mass.) yelled “You guys are pathetic!” from the far end of the Democratic section to the Republican side.

Just as matters seemed to calm a bit, Rep. Harold E. Ford Jr. (D-Tenn.) suddenly charged across the aisle to the GOP seats, jabbing his finger furiously at a small group of GOP members and shouting, “Say Murtha’s name!” Rep. David R. Obey (D-Wis.), who had led the chants for striking Schmidt’s comments, gently guided Ford by the arm back to the minority party’s side.

At 5:31, when order was finally restored, Schmidt rose again and said softly, “My words were not directed at any member of the House.” She asked that they “be withdrawn” from the record.

...Those voting yes on the resolution were Democrats Jose E. Serrano (N.Y.), Robert Wexler (Fla.) and Cynthia McKinney (Ga.). Six other Democrats—none of them from Maryland or Virginia—voted “present.”

*gah*

LACK of UPDATE:  Looking but sleepy—who are those Spineless Six?!?
