@The Dangerman: You owe me a large container of dried chamomile leaves, suitable for tea-making. AND probably a new screen. It might not have survived the spray.

When I was in high school 20 years ago my best friend had a Bea Arthur fetish. Go figure.

I have a thing for Regis Philbin that I can’t adequately explain.

Has Stewart/Colbert done anything funny with this? I don’t regularly watch them.

Q: What does Muammar Qaddafi have in common with Jack Donaughey?
A: Their names are impossible to spell.
Viperbuck
Always wondered where the inspiration came for this Steve Earle song. Guess Gadaffi commisioned it with some of that sweet sweet crude money.

I like that it kinda pre-emptively puts a stopper in the wingnutty “Bush laid the groundwork for Qaddafi’s exit” meme that some will try out when that crazy dictator is eventually found. It’s not like they can argue he was afraid the Bush administration was going to oust him if he was jerking off to images of the U.S. SOS.

Fortunately, another illegal war with a pr0n-based aftermath is just the thing to pluck up the balloonbagger troops.

My second big crush was on Carl Weathers. I was eight.

Well, they’re both fashionistas of a particular sort. Moammar’s taste in clothing would bring a drag queen to her knees in worship, and everyone knows Condi went in for the chic dominatrix look.
Think of what they could
dowear together!…I think I just scared myself…

@suzanne:
I’ll bet. No one could explain that.
When I worked in Hollywood a million years ago Robbie Robertson was scheduled to go on the Regis show — and RR cancelled because he couldn’t stand Regis. I was so proud of him.

@Nicole:
Egad. Who was your first crush (I’m scared to hear the answer)?

Well, for once, this may actually be something no one could have predicted.

God only knows how many pix GWB had of Condi in the Oval Office desk drawer.

Who doesn’t have an album of Condi pics? I mean, come on.

@danimal: Nope, it went the other way. What a poignant triangle…

@jeffreyw: I don’t understand the thinking behind that article. The prices don’t reflect supply and demand? WTF? They sure as hell do. I’m not sure how they wouldn’t.
There are two possibilities here. The first is that it turns out that people are willing to pay substantially more for coffee than people thought, and prices stay at this elevated level. Ultimately, that means that the people who grow coffee are going to make more money. I have a hard time feeling too upset about that.
The alternative is that people aren’t willing to pay a lot more for coffee. In that case, whoever ends up holding those contracts is going to take a bath when it comes time to actually take delivery or sell. There will undoubtedly have been some folks that made money trading vol along the way, but the net will be that the speculators lose money. I wouldn’t cry about that, either.
*cough*
Ignore the fact that I trade vol, too.

@J. Michael Neal:
That assumes that market prices have much to do with what the farmer earns. It likely has a lot more to do with the what middle men buyers earn, as with all third world commodity crops. Communities with a co-op system are a good counter-examples of course, but that ain’t going into your cup of Folgers.
Jenny
Huh? Nobody told Quaddafyi that Condi doesn’t date men?
Mister Papercut
Awww, he made himself a Condi spank bank? That. Is. Adorable. If not a little embarrassing, but I guess at his level of despotism, friends who’ll dispose of your evidence, as it were, are a little hard to come by.

lol. Why is it that Middle Eastern men can appreciate black women more than Americans? First Bin Laden with his Whitney Houston fetish, and now Gaddafi with his Condi fetish. lol.

Since this is an open thread, can someone tell me the logic behind requiring (used loosely, of course) people to be 21 before entering a brewery website?
Yutsano
Again: is no one going to mention to Muammar Condi’s lesbyterian tendencies? Shares a house with another woman near the Stanford campus? Hello??
@Brian S: CYA. If kid drinks and dies after viewing website alcohol producer will get the blame. Even if there is no actual civil penalty the PR hit would get nightmarish really fast.

@Yutsano: Why should we? What does it matter?

I was absentmindedly glancing through my link list and did a doubletake when I saw “Baboon Juice.” Just thought I’d share that.

Oh come on. How could you post a love song to the Secretary Of State and miss the obvious precedent?

@Brian S: You don’t know how to break a man’s heart do you?
Southern Beale
Yeah, it’s kinda weird .. especially since I do believe Condi was playing for the other team, if you know what I mean.
So reposting from earlier, some photos I took today that I thought were quite striking …
suzanne
I wondered about that. I also wondered which hairstyle he was into.

Bob Cesca’s allegedly awesome blog has an amusing cartoon depiction of some of the Republican presidential candidates.

Of all the foreign ministers he’s dealt with, I’m thinkin Ms. Rice is number two behind Hina Khar Rabbani in the alluring department. Although Colombia has had a few.
Anyway-“awkward” comes to mind.

@J. Michael Neal:
Because speculators buying something has nothing to do with the supply and demand of what they buy. They have no demand for coffee, they want money. When speculator A buys shitloads of coffee futures more people don’t want coffee.
A big negative aspect is that consumers have to pay more for something or simply can’t afford it because speculators jumped in. You somehow ignore this completely. That is a big negative part about this trading. Who gives a shit if speculators make money or lost money. The effect is that regular people have to pay more or can’t afford something because some rich guy is essentially hording. Go tell someone making minimum wage they can’t have their morning cup of coffee every day because people are speculating.
It is also bad news for suppliers of coffee beans. If prices go up there is a chance some unfortunate farmer/argibusiness decides to grow more coffee beans. Guess what happens in four years (how long it apparently takes a new plant to produce beans) when these assholes are long gone and it turns out there really wasn’t any more demand. Speculating on crops screws up the whole thing.

so k’daphe and michael jackson are officially hetero, and samantha fox is a lesbian.
how will anthropologists ever explain the 1980s.

@joeshabadoo:
This. I’m sick and tired of paying more for something just so some people can insert themselves into the process and screw me out of the money while providing absolutely no value or improving the product.
It’s theft.
JGabriel
No snark from me on this one. It’s too creepy. It actually makes me feel some empathy for Rice.
Now if Qaddafi had a photo album detailing his infatuation with, and sexual attraction to, Dick Cheney … that would be comedy gold.

@Odie Hugh Manatee:
Yes. It’s not that the robber barons of the Gilded Age were such nice people, but at least they build steel mills and railroads and oil wells and factories. The current robber barons just leverage the money and information and technology they have to abuse the market, without even producing anything. It’s just the invisible hand picking your pocket.

@Spaghetti Lee: Colbert and Stewart are on vacation for two weeks, which means the world is going to go to shit until Wednesday of next week, when everything will suddenly go back to normal so all the material will be old by the time they come back.

As a Democrat, I’m not sure, if I should be offended that there are no photo albums of Hillary Clinton or Madeliene Albright?

What? You don’t have a photo album of your favorite oil tanker?

I don’t even think she’s that attractive (in face anyway). Seems to have a nice body for her age.
She reminds me (mentally) of that Mrs. Coulter character in ‘The Golden Compass’. I can see her seperating kids from their souls for Dubya.

I know I’m not the only one who went W-T-F when they heard about the Condi photo album.

Qaddafi was rumored to have made a pass at the deluxuous Mme Sarkozy (AKA Carla Bruni) during a stste visit. Perhaps that explains France’s leadership role in his overthrow…
