<title>Announcement: Short-content feeds</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/</link>
<author>Phillip Winn</author><description>Sunday, August 26, 2007, marks the switch of all Blogcritics.org article feeds from full-content to short-content. This is the result of several converging factors, and is unfortunately a permanent decision (as permanent as any decision can be on the web, that is). We are aware of all of the reasons that this is a Bad Idea, and we are aware that some of you will be quite upset about having to click on something to read the free content, and we&#039;re sorry. Unfortunately, despite great effort, full-content feeds are not currently economically viable.

Two other factors are involved: full-content feeds have resulted in an unprecedented level of content theft, with BC content appearing on many websites, usually spam sites, without attribution or permission. This duplicate content causes a cascading set of problems, not the least of which is that search engines generally aren&#039;t favorable to duplicate content, and don&#039;t always guess correctly. Finally, our RSS advertising partner is strongly in favor of short-content feeds.

We hope that you&#039;ll continue to subscribe to BC via RSS, and when an article grabs your eye, it&#039;s only a click away, still free on the BC website. Thank you for your understanding.</description>

<title>Satire: &quot;Genius&quot; Behind Bush&#039;s Amazing Residency On The 2008 Selection</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/02/28/235349.php</link>
<author>anonyMoses</author><description>The Fox That Cried Wolf
Shakespoon on the BushreichKarl Roverer, the so-called &quot;genius&quot; behind the so-called &quot;successful&quot; Bush residency, is still with the use of the hindbrain, from which he now predicts a stunning Republican victory in 2008, according to infamous catamite to the Reich, Matt Drudge, and slick Fox-fed opportunist, Bill Sammon - neither of whom bear the least resemblance to Nostrodamus.Mr. Sammon is hawking his new book, which is running with the title, Strategery, which, for all we know, is but a vain attempt to legitimate one of Bush&#039;s copious blunders, in much the same way that Bush&#039;s whipping boys keep repeating &quot;nucular&quot; - a move which only moves the speaker down into the sub-cerebral bushosphere.Drudge, Rove &amp; Sammons. Foxes that cry wolf. On cue. Pavlov&#039;s foxes. Ring the bell and turds as words begin to flow into a cloaca of consciousness, or unconsciousness, the aggregate of which we refer to collectively as simply BushWorld.BushWorld! Where the Tao fears to tread, and Nature knows no Reason.
BushWorld! The darkening of the Light.
BushWorld! Where the world is an oyster for the Topnazis to molest with their mouths, and spit up on the poor.It&#039;s a stratragedy. Written by a shakespoon.- anonyMoses

<title>The Philosophy of Retreat</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/29/195332.php</link>
<author>anonyMoses</author><description>Face it. We are going to have to retreat from Iraq sooner or later. The question then becomes: How many more must die before we achieve this final aim? But alas, that is so cliche. I mean, America has plenty of killing machines already, maybe it would be best if we allow the killing machines we have created, using the clay of American sons and daughters, to remain outsides the gates of America as long as possible. It&#039;s not as if we have a dearth of killing machines, or have tons of jobs to keep them occupied once they do get back. Maybe their occupation was foreordained by God to be the occupation of Iraq? On this, Science is surely mute. But let&#039;s just say that we are ready to have our soldiers reintroduced into America. What if they start talking? What if the stories they tell do not square with the wishes of the White House? Might not this be a risk too grave to take? 
Over there, you can control the breadth of their utterances. But again, let&#039;s just say. So what is the justification for retreat? Is retreat not weakness?According to ancient Chinese philosophy, retreat is actually strength...something with which America is obsessed, being the barrel-chested and expansive Rambo of nations. Gump on a pump. Fake giant among real pygmies.  Strength good. Gimme gimme.Of course strength is neither good nor bad, only one phase in a continuum of change -- which is why bodybuilders die young -- so don&#039;t get to excited about the prospect of acquiring it via these written tome. What is even more important is that you will also gain in weakness, an under-appreciated virtue.In my next catechism, I will expand on what it means to retreat, 
and the best way to go about it. But in the meantime, if you are looking to retreat, why not think sideways and find yourself a good vineyard or two, 
like Uwharrie Vineyards, in the ancient mountains of North Carolina. There you can sip on some good wines and ponder the philosophy of retreat. Or maybe you&#039;d rather just live it. Either way, put this vineyard in your future plans. If you don&#039;t I will be forced to kill you.Not really.-anonyMoses Hyperlincoln is your blogging helpmate.

<title>Icky War Crimes Make Scott McClellan Dance for his Dollars</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/10/151121.php</link>
<author>anonyMoses</author><description>White House Briefing: McClellan Deflects Questions on Torture Exemption A Couple Dozen TimesIt must be tough being an apologist for war criminals and their icky need to torture, especially now that they can no longer claim proprietorship of the so-called American mainstream, which they polluted and left for dead in their race to reach the right fringe of Hell.So much easier to just emulate Jesus or Rumi or Gautama than to emulate power-crazed megalomaniacs -- who could never see beyond their alcohol-emboldened egos.America should be courageous enough to cough up its own hairballs when they threaten the flow of air. And yet our air is filled with hairballs and nutballs, all hyperventilating shrill emotions, as if amplitude will serve to persuade. But as George Bernard Shaw once observed, &quot;Not intelligent, only opinionated.&quot; Yet some people guzzle opinion as if it were knowledge, thus real food. Only when they die of malnutrition might they realize that one has to eat something more substantial than chicken. Faux chicken.And that is why anonyMoses Enterprises has created an antidote. Whenever you are in public, repeat aloud these words: &quot;Rush is bigger than Jesus&quot;, which is literally true, although figuratively false.Before long, the spell will wear off, dittoheads will be given back their own heads, sunshine days will return, and sweetness and light will dwell over all the Earth. Maybe.
EXCERPT FROM &quot;MAN AND SUPERMAN&quot;&quot;DON JUAN. Pooh! why should I be civil to them or to you? In this
Palace of Lies a truth or two will not hurt you. Your friends are
all the dullest dogs I know. 
They are not beautiful: they are only decorated. 
They are not clean: they are only shaved and starched. 
They are not dignified: they are only fashionably dressed. 
They are not educated they are only college passmen.
They are not religious: they are only pewrenters. 
They are not moral: they are only conventional. 
They are not virtuous: they are only cowardly. 
They are not even vicious: they are only &quot;frail.&quot; 
They are not artistic: they are only lascivious. 
They are not prosperous: they are only rich. 
They are not loyal, they are only servile; 
not dutiful, only sheepish; 
not public spirited, only patriotic; 
not courageous, only quarrelsome; 
not determined, only obstinate; 
not masterful, only domineering; 
not self-controlled, only obtuse; 
not self-respecting, only vain; 
not kind, only sentimental;

<title>Close to the End</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/05/144126.php</link>
<author>anonyMoses</author><description>(Dedicated to Mr. Bush&#039;s last term in office.)
Sung to the music of &quot;Close to the Edge&quot; by YES[edited to fit on your screen]Close to the End
by anonyMoses HyperlincolnA seasoned bitch could call you from the depths of your disgrace,
And rearrange your liver to match up your boily face,
And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar,
Then taste the wrath of man recorded, losing all against the hour.
And assessing points to nowhere, leading ev&#039;ry single one.
A Sundrop can exalt us like the blog of Mr. Sun,
And take away the plain in which we move,
And choose the course you&#039;re running. Rough at the edge, found in the corner,
No right of way, no right today...
Close to the ledge, down by a liver,
No right of way, no right today... 
Crossed the line around the changes of the Sumer,
Lashing out to dull the color of the sky.
Passed around a moment clothed in mourning sadder than we see.
Getting over all the time I had to worry,
Leaving all the changes far from far behind.
We relieve the tension only to find out the master&#039;s bait. Down at the bend, round by the corner.
Close to the end, just by a liver.
Reasons will pass you by.
I get up, you get down.
Now that it&#039;s all over and done,
Now that you find, you&#039;re in a hole. My mind convinced, eclipsed with the younger Moon attained with Rove.
It changed as almost brained amidst clear manna from above.
I crucified by hate and held the world within my hand.
There&#039;s you, the time, no logic, or reasons we don&#039;t understand. Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see,
As armoured movers took approach and overtook the sea.
There since McCord, the license, or the reasons we understood would be. Rough at the edge, closed down my liver.
Kos to the edge, found in the korner.
Close to the end, round by the corner.
Down at the edge, found by the river. Sudden call shouldn&#039;t take away your startled memory.
All in all, the journey takes you all the way.
As apart from any reality that you&#039;ve ever seen and known.
Causing problems only to receive no mention,
Stupid paths that climb halfway into the void.
As we cross from side to side, we hear the total Bush refrain. Down at the bend, round by the corner.
Close to the end, down by a liver.
Reasons will pass you by.
I get up, you get down... 
In his white face
You can clearly see a Libby sadly looking.
Saying that he&#039;d take the blame
For the crucifixion of their web domain. I get up, I get down,
I get up, I&#039;m a clown.
Two million people barely satisfied.
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
The eyes of hurricanes can achieve.
How many millions does he deceive each day? You get up, I get down.
I get up, you get down. In charge of who is there in charge of me.
Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
The truth is written all along the page.
How old will we be before we come of age for truth?
I git up, I git down.
I git up, I git down.
I git up, you git down...
The time between the votes relates the colors to the schemes.
A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, so it seems.
And space between the focus group ascend knowledge of Plame.
Their song and dance envelop time, lost social temp&#039;rance fuels the flame.Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arms to space,
He turned around and pointed, threat&#039;ning all the human race.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place...
On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley,
Called to witness cycles only of the past.
And we reach all this with movements in between the sad remark. Close to the bend, down by a liver.
Down at the end, found in the corner.
Reasons will pass you by,
Now that it&#039;s all over and done,
Call to the seed, write  Mr. Sun.
Now that you find, you&#039;re in a hole.
Reasons will pass you by,
I git up, I git down.
I git up, you git down.
You git up, I git down... &lt;div id=&quot;authorbio&quot;&gt;Dave Beckwith is a graduate of Harvard University.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<title>Breaking &quot;The Gilligan Code&quot;</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/30/121132.php</link>
<author>anonyMoses</author><description>
Jesus and Mary Magdalene?Now that Bob Denver has made it off the island, as we say in spiritland -- where no man is an island, indeed, no island is an island -- we can now begin to unravel the many mysteries presented by the television classic.For example:Consider this list...
Gilliganthe skipperthe millionairehis wifethe movie starthe professor Mary AnnThis is the order of names mentioned in the final version of the song. But what is wrong with this picture?Only the Alpha and Omega have actual names attached to them. Gilligan and Mary Ann.
Is this because they are in fact the Alpha and the Omega?
We know that Alpha is a hurricane, and Omega is a vitamin suppliment made of fish oil.
Hurricanes travel OVER water, and fish swim IN the water. But is this important?
Is the Pope important? We like to think so.They all have names. Thurston Howell, of course. But Lovey Wentworth, Jonas Grumby (skipper), and Roy Hinkley (professor)? Sound familiar? Granted, Ginger Grant sounds a little familiar, but that might be because we had a president and a Lou named Grant.But what else is it about Gilligan and Mary Ann? Is it that they were meant to be together from the very start, and that they are the only characters worth their salt? Salt too, remember, is IN the ocean, like fish, but that Salt II is something else entirely.Or is it???Were Gilligan and Mary Ann, in fact, desposyni? Did they have olive eyes? Are they the true vitalismen?Now some will argue that the professor and Mary Ann are the only important characters...since they were first distinguished as being the original &quot;and the rest&quot;. Clearly an important title.
But remember, Mary was the name of Jesus&#039; wife and mother, and Ann was the name of Mary&#039;s mother, although she spelled it with an &quot;e&quot; although placing in the creative spot in the second space, producing &quot;Aenn&quot;...although she preferred the more friendly &quot;Annie&quot;, at least according to dental records.But such thinking is flawed, since there were no professors in biblical times, and the ones that did profess were considered wiseacres and numbnuts, and were typically forced to eat their falafel without ketchup, so to speak, and were thus rendered toothless, socially. Clearly the professor was not a major player in the Gilligan Code.&quot;And the rest&quot;The professor and Mary Ann were, at one time, the proverbial &quot;rest&quot;. Requiem is the latin word for rest. Therefore, the professor and Mary Ann were the requiem. But so what? Who isn&#039;t these days?So this leads us back to Gilligan and Mary Ann; the Alpha and Omega.
Were they meant to be an item? Is that what it is all about?
Is this just some fantasy on the part of the writers, anticipating Survivor and Lost?
Gilligan&#039;s IsthmusAnd speaking of Lost, could it be, as some have said, that the crew were in fact not on an island, but an isthmus? This would make a lot of sense, since Isthmus rhymes with Christmas, and sense rhymes with since...but somehow this seems like a dead-end, since it was all filmed on a soundstage, which only rhymes with roundstage, which was popular during the Albionic Renaissance, as proved by Herr Shakesjoyce, writing between the lines.As we explore the Gilligan Code, we will discover all manner of wild and wondrous connections.
We hope you will stay with us as the secrets are, at last, revealed.Many thanks to Jude Camwell, the Iddybud of the Blogosphere, for her inspiration and amazing sleuthwork of this timely and touching matter.

<title>&quot;Good Night and Good Luck&quot;: Holding a mirror to BushWorld</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/24/234101.php</link>
<author>anonyMoses</author><description>It has been said that theatre and the performing arts hold a mirror. Sometimes it holds it to itself, sometimes it holds it up to the infinite, and at times it holds it up to the audience so they can see themselves. &quot;Good Night and Good Luck&quot; is in the last category, and, for some, it might be an uncomfortable few minutes, because polls tell us that an astonishing number of Americans are devotees, or dittoheads, of McCarty&#039;s spiritual children and grandchildren. And for these folks, the connection between themselves and William F. Buckley, and Senator McCarty&#039;s connection to William F. Buckley might momentarily give pause...although one doubts said pause will extend to Pinterian lengths, quantitatively or qualitatively, as such pausability might have prevented the sanyasinship in the first place. We are living in a McCarthian era. George Clooney, himself, was, and is, a target for neo-McCarthyites. As was, and is, Robert Downey Jr., who also stars in the wondrous film that should be at the top of your viewing list. And just as Clooney (and Fred Friendly and Murrow) took on McCarthy with his own words, so too will someone take on the Rush Limbaughs, Ann Coulters, Bill O&#039;Reillys and the other children of the corrny Joebob McCarthy who can only sew with yarns of fear, hate, greed and lies. But, in the meantime, there will be plenty of joiner types who will burn the Dixie Chicks CDs, the Michael Moore DVDs, and soon the works of that looney Clooney. (They always have a &quot;clever&quot; nickname for these Commies and Libs.)But the mirror is also held up to The Media...who, of late, has cowered under the pressures of corporate advertisers, on the one hand, and the Bush Administration, on the same and on the other hand. The Pentagon, of course, has also a hand in their operations as well...so much so, in fact, that one might best think of todays operations as a Military-Industrial-Media complex...with politicians invested in the same companies as everyone else involved in this exciting scheme to keep people in fear and glued to their screens for direction.
It&#039;s not called programming for nothing.&quot;Good Night and Good Luck&quot; is not just a cold look at the similitudes of today and the mid-50s. It is a call to action, on many levels, and for many different types of people. It will make those in the media question their own integrity, impartiality and regard for the truth. It will make some of those who have succumbed to McCarthyistic bloviations from today&#039;s reactionaries wonder if indeed they may not be on a one-way dead-end street. And it might even make a politician or two wonder about their own alliances and the wisdom, or the lack thereof, from having such connections. In thinking about this film, I am reminded of the words of Dr. Arthur Kleinman who wisely distinguishes illness from disease. Illness is the wider social context, while disease is the physical and reductionized part, too often the only matter of concern to medical professionals...while for the patient and everyone else involved, it is the broader social context, the illness, which is most important, as it, alas, involves them as well And so it is with films and movies. One may find reviews of the film itself in plenty of other places, and most will talk about the brilliant performance by David Strathairn, and the strong performances by Clooney, Frank Langello, and others, to which I can only nod in agreement. My only wish would be that it go on for another hour. Perhaps a sequel is in the offing. And Lord knows, a cinematic sequel is preferable to a real-world sequel. But alas, I may be too late. I am surely too late.But just as there are new McCarthys, there are also new Murrows. Jon Stewart is a risible Murrow, and Charlie Rose shares the North Carolina pedigree as well as the penchant for asking the tough question. There are yet others -- Franken, Stein, Koppel, Dhabi Assam -- and time will yield yet other vessels of the first water.Film buffs might see glimpses of Welles, Eisenstein, Vigo and Vertov in this future classic. And should a sequel to &quot;Camera Politica&quot; come about, I should think &quot;Good Night and Good Luck&quot; will have its own chapter. It is an important film about an important and frankly ugly period in our history. A history that is repeating itself, but one that is not necessarily without future Murrows.David K Beckwith works at Webkorner Internet Services by day and blogs the channelling of anonyMoses Hyperlincoln by night. &lt;div id=&quot;authorbio&quot;&gt;Dave Beckwith is a graduate of Harvard University.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<title>On &quot;Meet the Press&quot;, Emmanuel Hands Reynolds Arse on Plate</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/02/122149.php</link>
<author>anonyMoses</author><description>Rahm Emmanuel, like Barak Obama, John Edwards, and indeed, Wes Clark, represent the best hope for the future of the Democratic Party, and today, one of them, Mr. Emmanuel, showed how and why the future will be Democratic, and thus a benefit to health and humanity. On today&#039;s &quot;Meet the Press&quot; with Tim Russert, Emmanuel was paired with a boring old man named Reynolds, who will doubtless have any impact on the history of our great nation. And yet he had to sit there beside a gentleman whose equals rank among the pantheon of truly great presidents.  Without raising his voice, without losing repose or composure, Mister Emmanuel layed out the future, while all the boring old man could do was ululate and hyperventilate apothegms so barren of meaning as to render its bearer foolish and obsolescent. He was handed his arse on a plarte, to be polite, passive and neologistic about it. The five-point plan layed out by Mr. Emmanuel deserve serious consideration.  These are bold ideas. They will get us out of the hole which the other guys would have you keep digging.Here is where Rahm lays out the future:REP. EMANUEL:   Let me address, though, the future of this country.  I&#039;ll give you five quick ideas.  One, we make college education as universal for the 21st century that a high school education was in the 20th. MR. RUSSERT:  And who pays for that? REP. EMANUEL:  The American people, because it offers--Let me get to it. Second, we get a summit on the budget to deal with the $3 trillion of debt that&#039;s been added up in five years and structural deficits of $400 billion a year.  Third, an energy policy that says in 10 years, we cut our dependence on foreign oil in half and make this a hybrid economy.  Four, we create an institute on science and technology that builds for America like, the National Institutes has done for health care, we maintain our edge.  And five, we have a universal health-care system over the next 10 years where if you work, you have health care.  That says fiscal discipline and investing in the American people by reputting people first.  The policies that the Republicans have offered have gotten us in the ditch we have today. Ideas. Good ones. If the Republicans had ideas, they didn&#039;t bear fruit. And they&#039;ve had five years. Staying the course is only digging the hole deeper. And we&#039;ve already hit Hell.They carry on:MR. RUSSERT:  (To Reynolds) What do you think of that program? REP. REYNOLDS (as if to say &quot;O come now, Emmanuel!&quot;):  Sounds to me like a liberal agenda:  bigger government, raise more taxes to pay for it.  That&#039;s the failed liberal policies.  The last 40 years, the Democrats were in control of the Congress. REP. EMANUEL:  Tom, in the last five years the government&#039;s gotten bigger... REP. REYNOLDS:  And when we look at this... REP. EMANUEL:  ...under Republican rule... REP. REYNOLDS:  I have not heard... REP. EMANUEL:  ...than anytime in the history. REP. REYNOLDS:  ...any agenda coming out of the Democrats in Congress.  It has been all slash and burn, nay.  There has been no debate, Tim.  This is not the debate of Dole and Moynihan.  This is slash and burn, have no new ideas, and attack.

<title>The News That Cried Flu</title>
<link>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/09/30/150929.php</link>
<author>anonyMoses</author><description>Every year the news proclaims a huge flu epidemic, only to say they were mistaken afterwards. After they have already cashed in on their pharmaceutical portfolio. One day they are going to cry flu...and no one is going to believe them, and millions will die from lack of trust.G.I. Gurdjieff warned of this over fifty years ago. You&#039;d almost think that news organizations wouldn&#039;t stoop to using fear as a way to sell products, but alas they and the politicians have been doing that forever. Were only evolution real...The problem is, of course, compounded by the fact that many people get sick and die from the flu vaccine itself. But those who pushed the drug will never admit to being responsible for these deaths.None dare call this game bioterrorism, but I don&#039;t see why not. 
It may well be a pharmaceutical Serpent&#039;s Egg.When your job demands that you kill people, it is time to get a different job.In related news:

<author>anonyMoses</author><description>North Carolina&#039;s Research Triangle is known for its swarm of PhDs, and now Carolina&#039;s Research Rhombus is becoming famous for its swarm of bloggers. And for good reason. North Carolina&#039;s piedmont region, which includes the Triangle, but also Charlotte and Greensboro (or Blogsboro), among others. The Triangle has become a Rhombus and is soon to become an icosododecahedron. That or a ray.And recent changes in the recently devsstated Kannapolis see that regional town becoming a major node of biomedical and food research. Further proof of the widening Triangle. Bloggers love research. And in two weeks bloggers get to research each other. In person. At ConvergeSouth.  I think you should come.For if you do, you will see and hear and meet some of the pioneers and visionaries in the history and future of blogging. They may even put you on their blogroll, which can do wonders for your readership rolls. 
But the main point is to learn, share, teach, interact, and enjoy each others&#039; uniqueness as well as our shared fate.

<title>The Andy Griffithization of George W. Bush</title>

George or Andy?
I am not in the habit of saying complimentary things about our current president, but when it is warranted, I will freely give credit. Notwithstanding the opening paragraphs, the New Orleans speech is the best speech of his career. It is also his most liberal, certainly in terms of heart. And I suspect it will go a long way toward helping people understand the importance of liberality.But here&#039;s the weird thing.I think the president enjoyed being liberal. I also think David Brooks enjoys his newfound freedom. This speech represents a trimph of liberalism, if not Liberalism. And maybe that too. A liberal triumph benefits everyone. Since Bush needn&#039;t worry about re-election, he can be as liberal or magnanimous as his maturing soul might demand.Here is another completely unscientific proof of his recent, and perhaps televised, evolution:
He resembled Andy Griffith.Let me explain. While normally, Mister Bush will resemble Paul Wolfowitz, Pat Robertson or Karen Hughes, being a shape-shifter and all -- on tonight&#039;s performance, he, during his best moments, looked like Andy Griffith. The consummate liberal. And during his first presidential campaign, he sounded like Martin Luther King. I suspect he would watch or listen to these folks, on tape or in person, and then imitate, consciously or un-, that person.I don&#039;t know if he actually met with, or studied, Andy Griffith. I like to think he didn&#039;t, and that, instead, he evolved into Andy Griffith, much like Walt Whitman was reputed to have evolved into cosmic consciousness.Andy Griffith is who people want to see being the sheriff, or chief law dude, as the kids say.
A benevolent friend who uses his power to make life better for everyone.May Bush become that benevolent friend who uses his power to make life better for everyone.Everyone.-anonyMoses Hyperlincoln
