Shakers

Irony, thy name is Shakers:

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - A controversial plan to open a new strip club in downtown Springfield went before the City Council and a standing room only crowd at City Hall Monday evening. At issue: whether the city should recommend that operator Jack Dugger be granted a liquor license for the club on Main Street.

The city wants to deny the license because of many concerns including the club's location near a school. Those who oppose Shakers, including some city officials, also highlighted Dugger's past criminal history.

Dugger said the matter has turned from a debate over Shakers to a personal attack on his character.

…In the end, the City Council voted to deny the liquor license to Dugger [citing his] past criminal history, violation of liquor laws and illegal activity around his other business called "Club 420" as some reasons behind the disapproval.

Awww. Wah wah wah.

So, if you're a Shaker, you may be:

1. A naked dancer in Springfield, Oregon.

2. A salt or pepper dispenser.

3. A member of a religious sect that emerged in 18th century Manchester but dwindled to four members by 2006 as a result of their belief in total celibacy.

4. A member of a different religious sect that emerged in the 19th century combining the beliefs and riturals of Native Americans, Catholics, and Protestants, and having nothing to do with the aforementioned Mancunian-born Shakers.

5. A member of the blog community Shakesville—official member of the Cult of the Feminazi Cooter, reservist in the Dry Pussy Brigade, and subject of the Queen Cunt of Fuck Mountain.

Disparte groups, those. Little danger of one Shaker being mistaken for another, I guess.

No Murphy This Time

Mike Murphy, a political consultant who helped Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) mastermind his 2000 campaign, will not be reboarding the Straight Talk Express.

“I do not expect to join the campaign,” Murphy said. “They’re my friends, and I wish them well.”

High-profile media reports have speculated that Murphy would join the campaign as it relaunches with a new structure.

[...]

But Murphy wanted to do so only if he had the authority to really shape the messaging and dramatically change the tone of the campaign from what he considers a “Rovian” partisan attack strategy, a la Karl Rove. Murphy feels that tack is a mistake in this environment and favors a more reform-oriented approach.

Campaign manager Rick Davis had resisted the idea because, while Murphy has worked on a ton of winning races, he is a self-described control freak.

I can't fault his reasons; even he's turned off by Karl Rove and his methods. And if it's too rank for him, imagine what it's going to be like when the rest of the country gets a whiff of it.

Our Media Rulezzz

Eric Boehlert, again doing the much-needed work of holding our media's feet to the flames, with the depressingly bluntly titled "The NY Times sends a Dittohead to interview Rush Limbaugh."

I'm all for giving editors leeway in assigning writers for magazine cover stories. But I can't help wondering if Times public editor Clark Hoyt ought to look at this situation and determine whether the Timeshas ethical guidelines that generally frown upon hiring, in this case, a Democrat-bashing opinion writer to pen a magazine cover story about a Democrat-bashing media figure without ever letting readers in on the political alliance at play.

Journalism isn't supposed to hideperspectives and context. It's supposed to add them. Here, the Timesdeliberately did the opposite; it purposefully duped its readers.

Read the whole thing here.

On Problems to Be Solved

So, the headline of this AP article is okay: "Europe plans free fruit, veggies for school kids." Nothing wrong with that -- in fact, I think it's a swell idea. But you do know what's coming next, right?

An estimated 22 million children in the 27-nation bloc of nearly 500 million people are overweight because of bad eating habits.

Right. So I guess the writer personally observed 22 million children to determine that their fatness is the result of "bad eating habits" -- and indeed, that they're actually fat, as opposed to just growing children whose BMI ranking could change substantially in two weeks' time? 'Cause otherwise, that sentence is ludicrous. Even a stone fatphobe with a modicum of journalistic integrity would write "... in part because of bad eating habits" -- if nothing else, what about the ZOMG SEDENTARY VIDEO GAMES NEVER OUTSIDE factor? -- or just end the sentence at "overweight" and allow people to draw their own conclusions. (Which, unfortunately, they totally would.) But no, 22 million children just have bad eating habits, period. True facts!

And it gets better. (The article's like 200 words long, and still, it gets better.)

"You only have to walk down any high street in Europe to see the extent of the problems we face with overweight kids," EU Agriculture Commissioner Mariann Fischer Boel said.

Problems you can see just walking down the street? Like what? Roving bands of tubby little thugs demanding protection money from local businesses? Pillaging and plundering? Bursting out into elaborate musical numbers on busy streets? What are these great societal problems that are obvious to any pedestrian?

Oh, right. The very existence of fat kids is a problem.

Fuck you, Mariann Fischer Boel. Children's bodies are not a problem for the government to solve.

And that's inevitably my problem with programs like this, and the way they're sold to us. I am 100% in favor of free fruits and veggies (though I'm not naive enough to think those won't be traded for sweets by fat and thin kids alike, I should add). Free fruits and veggies for everyone! Local, organic produce for all my friends! While you're at it, bring back gym class and train future phys ed instructors to focus on encouraging the joy of movement instead of forcing everyone to move their bodies in exactly the same way, regardless of any pain (physical and/or emotional) it causes! Subsidize exercise facilities until they're affordable for everyone! Create more bike paths! Clean up local bodies of water so everyone can swim for free! Build cities on the scale of human bodies instead of cars, and keep the streets safe enough for everyone to walk around! Ban high fructose corn syrup! Keep fast food and soda and junk food corporations out of the schools! Raise the minimum wage and shorten working hours so people have more time to cook and be active! KNOCK YOURSELVES RIGHT THE FUCK OUT creating an environment that makes it easier for everyone to eat a variety of fresh foods and get plenty of exercise!

But don't tell me that's going to make everyone thin -- and really, really don't tell me that making people thinner should be the main point of such a plan. It fucking infuriates me that with all of the many, many excellent reasons to do all the things I've just suggested, the only potential outcome that can muster the political will to enact any of it is weight loss. Fuck having a cleaner, safer, more fun environment that might lend itself to people generally feeling more energetic and vibrant (which might also lead to more productivity, for all the hardcore capitalists out there) -- unless we can get rid of the fatties, it's wasted money.

Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a problem to be solved. A polluted environment is a problem to be solved. Corporations weaseling their way into schools are a problem to be solved. Unsafe cities are a problem to be solved. Car-dependency is a problem to be solved. The need for many people to work every waking hour just to get by is a problem to be solved. The widespread belief that exercise is primarily a punishment for fatness or a talisman against it, not something enjoyable that generally makes people feel better, is a problem to be solved.

Human bodies are not a fucking problem to be solved.

Great Expectations

Bob Herbert uses his latest column, "Lurching With Abandon," to obliquely chasten Obama for the expectations he created by branding himself the candidate of hope and change, and for now failing to live up to them, by playing the same, old, triangulating game:

Only an idiot would think or hope that a politician going through the crucible of a presidential campaign could hold fast to every position, steer clear of the stumbling blocks of nuance and never make a mistake. But Barack Obama went out of his way to create the impression that he was a new kind of political leader — more honest, less cynical and less relentlessly calculating than most.

…This is why so many of Senator Obama's strongest supporters are uneasy, upset, dismayed and even angry at the candidate who is now emerging in the bright light of summer.

…He seems to believe that his shifts and twists and clever panders — as opposed to bold, principled leadership on important matters — will entice large numbers of independent and conservative voters to climb off the fence and run into his yard.

Maybe. But that's a very dangerous game for a man who first turned voters on by presenting himself as someone who was different, who wouldn't engage in the terminal emptiness of politics as usual.

Indeed. Disappointment is par for the course in electoral politics, which makes it pretty easy to overcome; disillusionment, on the other hand…well, that makes for people who are hard to win back. Which is why it's always a risky proposition to run a faith-based campaign appealing to idealists.

I said before that I didn't like the "hope and change" rhetoric because it unintentionally suggests we can walk away from our immediate history, but there was another reason it stuck in my craw, too: It has a very bitter taste indeed once it goes sour with irony.

[H/T to Shaker BGK.]

----------------------------

As an aside, I really hope, more than I can say, that Obama turns it around. I don't know how he's going to, and I've got no suggestions—short of a speech to the effect that he feels like he's been compromising, doesn't like it, and is essentially calling a do-over, followed by a renunciation of his shiny new positions on late-term abortion, FBOs, FISA, welfare reform, the SCOTUS decisions on handgun law and death penalty for child rapists, and possibly some shit I'm forgetting. (That would be an awesome speech, btw.) Short of that, I got nuttin'.

Wank on Your Own Time, Kurtz

Is there no one left at the Washington Post with the wits and decency to tell Howard Kurtz that obsessively recounting the details of a female CBS correspondent's sex life and calling it a column is unseemly?

And, ya know, sexist. Unless he's got an archive with stories about male journos and their "unplanned pregnancies" of which I'm unaware.

My favorite part is this: "Logan, 37, says she and Burkett plan to get married eventually." Well, that's a relief. For a second there, I was prepared to be positively scandalized by the idea of an adult woman having sex with someone and not marrying him. The horror!

It's just a completely ludicrous piece of dreck. And I love how he talks about her private life being "tabloid fodder," as if his making it fodder for his skeezy little column is somehow materially different.

Honestly, what a disgrace.

Question of the Day

What one piece of information do you have that you wish you didn't know?

This could be: Something about the nature of humankind, a piece of history that haunts you, a discovery about someone else that diminished him/her in your eyes, the existence of a disease that you irrationally fear you'll get, something generally creepy like how we all swallow bugs when we sleep, something you've learned about yourself that disappoints you, how much a coworker makes to your irritation, anything…

Invasion of the QCoFM

Recently, the OpenLefters issued an invitation to a handful of not-straight-white-dudez to "lead front-page discussions on OpenLeft on the topic of 'feminist and womanist perspectives on Hillary Clinton's withdrawal from the race—and why this matters to progressives'."

My submission, "Perfectly Logical Calculations, and Why They're Actually Not," is now up. Some of it will be familiar to Shakers who have been around awhile, though parts of it are new and the old stuff has been updated.

The comments are already getting interesting.

Kristol: Murphy's Law

William Kristol is looking for John McCain's savior.

From the gun clubs of Northern Virginia to the sports bars of Capitol Hill — wherever D.C.-area Republicans gather — you hear the question:

“Where’s Murphy?”

“Murphy” is Mike Murphy, the 46-year-old G.O.P. strategist who masterminded John McCain’s 2000 primary race against George Bush, helping McCain come close to pulling off an amazing upset. Murphy was then chief strategist for Mitt Romney’s successful Massachusetts governor run in 2002.

Murphy remained close to both men, and as a result sat out the G.O.P. nominating contest this past year, not wishing to work against either of them. It was widely assumed, though, that if either McCain or Romney won the nomination, the winner would bring Murphy on board for the general election. So far it hasn’t happened. I believe it soon will.

I hasten to disclose that Murphy is a friend. I should also disclose that when I called to say I had heard he might well be signing on with McCain, he went Sergeant Schultz on me, saying nothing.

Perhaps it's because Michael Murphy knows a stinking corpse of a campaign when he sees it, and trying to revive it will not enhance his stature as a miracle worker. After all, if he's true to the credo of campaign gurus, the most important outcome of the campaign isn't that his candidate wins but that he emerges from it with a glowing resume and a higher fee. (What, you thought people got into the campaign strategy business to make the country better? Where have you been?)

Mr. Kristol is confident that Mr. Murphy will join the McCain campaign at some point.

I expect that in the next couple of weeks we’ll learn that Murphy is coming on board as chief strategist, with Schmidt running operations at the headquarters. This would be a structure very much like the Obama campaign, led by the combination of strategist David Axelrod and campaign manager David Plouffe.

[...]

With Murphy in charge, McCain will have the campaign team he wants. Then all they’ll have to do is come from behind to win against a superior organization, more money, a gifted candidate and a Democratic-tilting electorate. Oh well: no challenge, no glory.

And if the McCain campaign goes down in flames, then Michael Murphy has the perfect out: he can say that he was brought in too late and that if he'd been in charge of the campaign from the beginning, they'd have won. No skin off his nose, and he still gets to be charming and irreverent on cable TV.

Update: Apparently Michael Murphy is already on board the McCain campaign and producing ads.

HT to TPM.

Webb Doesn't Want to be Veep

Virginia Sen. Jim Webb just issued a statement from his Senate office saying that -- "[u]nder no circumstances" -- does he want to be considered as Obama's veep. "Last week I communicated to Sen. Obama and his presidential campaign my firm intention to remain in the United States Senate, where I believe I am best equipped to serve the people of Virginia and this country. Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for vice president."

Good. Frankly, it's ridiculous he was even being considered, given that the Dems have enough problems with da ladiez as it is.

I've Returned, a Master Falconer

Howdy, folks! Mrs. Cowboy and I have returned from our lovely trip to the Emerald Isle. We had such a great time out there with our friends while we were exploring the likes of Cork, Kenmare, the ring of Kerry, Galway and Dublin. Within the coming days, I'll be working on a series of posts, discussing each portion of the trip from a cute (i.e. ANIMALZ!) perspective.

That said, it's imperative that I post the following clip immediately. When we happened upon the Ireland School of Falconry, it was clear that I simply had to go on a "hawk walk" and bond with my own bird of prey.

Notes From A Trophy Wife*

Oh, for fuck's sake, it is too early in the morning for this shit. I've got just two words for ABC News this post-holiday Monday: Go fuck yourselves. Do I really need to read shit like this as a headline from a major news organization: "Will Portia Be Ellen's Trophy Spouse?" It's too early in the morning for such sexist, misogynist, homophobic swill.

The article is, of course, a big pile of horseshit, and I don't know why it was written to begin with. But wevs. The author does note "Today, experts say, the phrase (trophy wife) is less pejorative" which is nice of her and all. Mind you, "less pejorative" is a relative and somewhat qualified phrase, and despite being an indeterminate amount of pejorative, it's still splashed all over the article, and ABC's website. So, basically, we're led to infer "it's not a very nice thing to say, but we're gonna say it anyway." (Nice graphic, by the way.) But hey, it's just one article. I'm sure it was a fluke.

Huh? What's that in the right hand column there? "Was A-Rod 'Brainwashed' by Madonna?" Another fab fuckin' headline, I see. Great, glad to hear you're not slinging the sexism just at us homos. Madonna, siren and temptress, lures poor, unassuming lad to his demise. At least that's what I am assuming the article is about. Truthfully I didn't even bother to read it. I had pictures to look at; note this headline: "PHOTOS: Alba's Post-Pregnancy Body."

Wow, a sexism trifecta right there on the front page of the entertainment section. I think that may entitle you to some sort of award.

(* I think, by the article's definition, I was a trophy wife.)

Republican Dinosaur

In which I write a not very nice obituary for Jesse Helms. Of course, "not very nice" is relative. Considering what I could have written, it was downright respectful.

From the Mailbag

Shaker JMonkey recommends a recent entry at the Boston Globe's photoblog "The Big Picture," which is a photo series of each of the two major party candidates as they grew up and started their political careers and families.

Shaker AbracaDeborah forwards the link to the newest pile of rubbish masquerading as journalism produced by Christina Hoff Sommers, hilariously titled Why Can't a Woman Be More Like a Man?

This is priceless: Shaker Oddjob passes on this story from the New York Times with the note: "Come the convention, the GOP doesn't know what to do about the War Criminal in Chief." Ha!

Shaker Beccaella sends this article "about workers at a Catholic charity in VA who aided a 16 year old get an abortion (yay parental consent laws, /snark) and are now being hammered by the diocese and the feds because of the Hyde amendment." I love the headline: "Catholic Aid for Abortion Creates Stir in Virginia." Why, we haven't seen a 'stir' like this since the mini-skirt came to town!

Shaker Bitty recommends this piece about Fox News getting busted for deliberately distorting the faces of writers for the New York Times.

And Shaker Maggie sends this image from Comcast's main page, asking: "Don't you think the so-called and parenthesis are a little ignorant and/or disrespectful?" Indeed I do.

my pretty

Lookie what I got:

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

Let me tell you, we make quite the sight tootling around, as I have the baby seat on the back of mine (as you can see), my husband has a tandem rider (this thing) attached to his for our third child, and then our older two on their own bikes. :-)

So now my husband is all "we have to do the STP next year!". Heh. I don't think I'm up for that, lol.

(the new bike is a Trek 7100 WSD, for those who like to know specs :))
