437 [lbo-talk] interviewing W -- rank: 270

What really strikes me about this is the bullying tone Bush adopted when the interview was over. Politicians, one presumes, have an interest in appearing gracious & cordial, even (or especially) after a tough interview. The more powerful the politician, the more cordial they can afford to be. Not Dubya. There's ...

438 [lbo-talk] RE: Wishful thinking (was Wow!) -- rank: 270

For what it's worth, over the past year or two I've noticed a real shift in attitudes among my student, a historically conservative demographic. I teach at a large Catholic university in Queens, and my students have over the years been steadfastly right-of-center: capitalism's the best ...

What I'm curious about is how that woman was allowed into the audience, and then allowed to ask a smartass question like that! Some gatekeeper's head is probably rolling right this moment. Gary Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 11:09:09 -0800 (PST) From: "B." <docile_body at yahoo ...

440 [lbo-talk] The Death of Classical Music (da capo, con, brio) -- rank: 270

A propos of the direction the conversation has taken, back in the day, there was a venerable musical tradition that combined rock & roll with classical themes. It was a pretty good way to introduce kids to the larger cultural landscape, and it was how I got turned on to classical music ...

441 [lbo-talk] RE: Tiger Lillies -- rank: 270

The Tiger Lillies are probably best known for providing the music and words to a stage production of Shockheaded Peter, which was based on a 19th century (I think) German-language children's book intended to promote good behavior through cautionary tales of the ghastly fates that befall children who misbehave ...

443 [lbo-talk] RE: CBGBs no more! -- rank: 270

Good grief! We just lost the Bottom Line. I gather that this sort of bubble-driven destruction of stable neighborhood institutions can go on for some time, and result in radical transformations of the character of localities. But when the bubble pops the neighborhoods almost never recover their former identities: something ...

444 [lbo-talk] RE: forthcoming book on Ann Coulter costs Reuters editor his job -- rank: 270

Hi. Thanks for the reply, Doug.What was puzzling to me is that Reuters could hardly have expected the book to be "balanced" in the sense of saying anything substantially positive about Coulter--as in, "Yes, she's over the top most of the time but once in a while she ...

maybe if they just used the phrase "objectively racist" or "objectively sexist" it would be acceptable. http://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-1/sds-bpp.htm I think you're on the very wrong side of this one, Carrol. On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 12:14 PM, Chris Sturr ...

449 [lbo-talk] RE: Why Fallujah (and Najaf) were pulverized -- rank: 270

I've been wondering, though, how the Bushies and the interim Iraqi government expect to hold elections in Falluja within ten weeks, now that the city's infrastructure has been demolished and its population rendered, for all practical purposes, refugees. Is there a plan to set up polling sites and ensure ...

This is a gift to the Dems if they have the stones to make anything out of it. Gonzales drafted the legal justification for prisoner abuse that embarrassed the administration when the Abu Ghraib news broke. Bush seems to be daring the senate Dems to make something out of it. They ...
