I agree - starling? Kill it. Break its neck and throw the corpse at other starlings. I hate them.

@3, shame they didn't call it "Wallah!". It's much funnier that way. Or "Viola!" would be good too.
I think my blood sugar level is getting low.

I really wish one of them would have said that their favorite book is some really abstruse political analysis or "Blackstone's Commentaries" or something, and then continued to read from it until physically dragged away. Hell, give 'em half an hour of "Wealth of Nations" or "Capital" by Marx and there would be weeping.

Is this the first place in Seattle to spell "bistrot" in the more common French way? (You will find "bistro" in Paris, but only rarely).

When Murray said this campaign was going to be the ugliest Seattle's ever seen, I didn't think he meant this. Jesus.

If, like me, you enjoy watching kooks battle Wikipedia, you should check out the talk pages for Tavistock and for John Rawlings Rees:

@76, your link not only doesn't prove the Texas lawmaker's assertion, it DISPROVES it, by quoting an actual doctor, the president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, who says he's full of it, or, to put it politely, using "emotion and not science".

Here's a fun tidbit: while trying to figure out who the LaRouchies in Seattle are -- remember those twits with the Obama-as-Hitler posters downtown? Was that Siddha? -- I came across the name of Nancy Spannaus, a spokeswoman for the (national) LaRouche PAC, to whom all inquiries about those posters were directed.
Who is Nancy Spannaus?
Nancy Spannaus was the enforcer for the LaRouchie's internal mandatory abortion policy back in the 70s and 80s. Women in the organization were forced to get abortions then.

So much for the "fundamental fabric of society". This is pretty typical of LaRouchism, of course; stances and opinions change all the time, sometimes within the same paragraph, depending on the needs of the narrative to target the gullible, damaged people who fall for it. I wonder how much Siddha has paid into the LaRouche org?

Dave Edmunds predates pub rock a little (well, quite a lot of them do). His 1970 single "I Hear You Knocking" was on of my favorite records as a kid, even though I'd never heard of Smiley Lewis, who originated it. It was one of four 45s I owned, along with "Come and Get It" by Badfinger, "The Letter" by The Box Tops, and, I'm not ashamed to admit, "Ride, Captain Ride" by Blues Image.

@68, oh sweet Jesus. I mentioned LaRouche just as a casual insult; I didn't realize he was was an ACTUAL LAROUCHIE.
More fun stuff from EIR: "the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 was the first strike in a British attempt to take over the United States". This, despite the fact that, as everyone knows, Roosevelt already ceded sovereignty over the US to Britain in 1938. DURR.
Another: The Warburgs and the CIA, through McGeorge Bundy "in 1963 funded Students for Democratic Society, through which the CIA operated the drug culture."
OF COURSE THEY DID. YOU'D HAVE TO BE BLIND
Also: the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was orchestrated by FDR's cousin. IT'S ALL CONNECTED DON'T YOU SEE
Maybe Siddha will be back to tell us all about David Ickes and the Lizard People.

There's not much difference between what your average goose gets and what your average American subjects themselves to voluntarily at Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, McDonalds.... No metal tube, but the fattening is pretty similar. The geese are healthier than the people, I'm pretty sure.
