Koko Taylor! Whang Dang Doodle, All Nite Long!

Good day to all you eMooks!

Buh Bye, Bloggoes! :mrgreen:

309 313 LOLOLOLOLOLOL thanx, knew ya knew sumpthin' about that
that could help me

let's all pitch a wang dang doodle all night long in memory of koko taylor. And, if you have any energy left, go ahead and wang chung tonight.

methinks even in the most misogynist society the
women found Ways of getting theirs... even Spartan
women got a chance to get something in on the raising
of the kids...

Consider the Power of Women. In a few generations of
passive thingy they converted the rude steppe horsemen
barbarian warriors of Timur into the Mhugal Emperors,
builders of the world's most beautiful building, the Taj Mahal

Thanks Shane-O! See you all tomorrow.

Adios, all. Have a good day. And, as always, I'm interested in hearing what you think on my blog!

Bye all! Bye Mama! Take some vomit bags for the convention. :mrgreen:

niters all

Another sad death today -- Koko Taylor passed today. You know, Every time I pitch a Wang Dang Doodle all night long, I think of her.

305: oompah limbaugh: lost tribe of isntreal

304 & 306 - Thank you *bows gracefully*

congrats Sky - Spartan today!

Karl Rove is stupid. Plain. Simple.

305 -- Revisionist history suggests that they are all Hobbits.

291 remimds me of the "woman without a man like
a fish w/o a bicycle" -- geez, is it so scary to
ya that a woman might get to be in charge of herself
and her own body? Why ya so threatened by that?

spartan women can't be citizens of spartans. But spartan women are the only ones who can give birth to a spartan warrior. Or something like that. Anyone remember the line?

Skyhawk picks off Sparta mid-air. Bonza!

274 zactly... Nephilimbaugh, er limbo

Now back to my question re the Oompa Loompas@184

Congrats on holding the pass, Skyhawk! :D

298 & 301 -- :lol:

sparta?

I think that any man who questions how a woman has a birth needs to think about how much experience he has with it...none.

SPARTA BABY!

oh yeah... SPARTA!

Steven...let's keep in mind that most women who get C-sections WANT them so they can fit the birth into their schedule. Now, maybe it's just me being old fashioned, but if you've got to fit a birth into your schedule, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE REPRODUCING!

And the spinal tap helps a LOT with the pain.

Sparta

Sparta?

is Ms. Steph going to be doing the show from NYC tomorrow??

(sorry - haven't been keeping up today)

Sparta is over the horizon.

OOh, i'd give a dollar to see that fight

The park of heavenly peace sure wasn't so peaceful that day, huh? And those thugs are still in control.

If you read the rules of Dr. Tiller's practice (cached from Google):

"
Three Rules of the Practice
#1: The woman's body is smarter than the doctor
#2: Time, patience, and the baby will come
#3: Respect the woman's rhythm
"

This flies in the face of a lot of current obstetrical "we've got to push interventions like induction, c-section, epidurals to make sure we don't get sued" thinking and is more in line with long-standing principles of midwifery.

In Dr. Tiller, we didn't just lose a provider of late-term abortions, we lost a true advocate for woman-centered health care.

looks like we're holding fire for last minute. BTW, 20th anniversary of Tiennaman Square (sp)

T you finish it KtoG.

I like the nosebleeds. They're one of the best bands on the Streets comp.

"Ain't been to no music school" by the Nosebleeds. Oh, to be a DJ and be able to back announce that title.

The antiabortion rant is all based on catholicism, which held that the life of the mother is not important. A famous story in my home town of a father of nine whose wife was dying in childbirth. The doctor talked to him with his priest and the priest told the father and the doctor that the church required that the mother be sacrificed so that the baby would survive. The father said, "To hell with that. I have nine other children to raise. Save my wife." Which the doctor did. Presumably the father is in hell now. Rather a famous story, perhaps an urban myth. But the church's position was that the mother had sinned and the baby had not and therefore the mother could be sacrificed but the baby could not be. Bizarre. Another good reason for the catholic church to be put out of its misery.

277 -- I think it was the period right after the second semicolon.

Barbara, I picked up 1260 just fine. It's still on my radio presets, I just don't listen to it anyway.

We have to think about the audience that talk radio appeals to. Talk radio is older, more white, and more male than the population as a whole. Those people also tend to be more conservative.

Advertisers have a perception of talk radio as being for old white males. So most of them don't advertise on there.

That perception has to be fixed. It's as prevalent as the myth about how American car manufacturers don't make quality vehicles. That's simply not true, and there's no statistical difference between the quality of a US nameplate and a foreign one, but the perception still exists.
