Komen truly is run by a bunch of clueless fecks.
And of course, they are helping pink wash the NFL for the NFL’s DV “problem”

You did better than me – I only made it through the first three books

There always seemed to be a strong spiritual/shamanistic component to most all the psychedelic usage in the late ’60s/early ’70s. I always felt The Teachings of Don Juan could as easily have been dream inspired as actual teaching.
Is there a significant problem with charlatans purporting to be shamans?

Good evening Rak.
An obvious question (to me anyway) – were you much influenced by Carlos Castaneda in you shamanistic studies?

Thanks! I know the speculative question is always a tough one but it amazes to see a political party that seems to be 180 degrees from what it once stood for

Good afternoon Heather and T. J. and welcome to Firedoglake this afternoon.
Heather, I have not had an opportunity to read your book but do have a question. How do you think Lincoln and the other founders of the Republican Party would respond if they could come to current times and see how the party operates?

My guess is that head injuries are part of the issue with the NFL but would also guess that “Roid Rage” plays some as well.

Check his acting credits – I’m sure you will recognize him from some of them. The sports and acting were just a bit of frosting on his accomplishments

dakine01 wrote a new diary post: Saturday Art: Influential Authors: George Plimpton
Please Note: When I began this series, it was to cover a lot of authors whom I have found personally influential, even though this may only be because I enjoyed the stories they have told in their books or short stories. I’m just fortunate enough and well read enough that many of the authors I have [...] -
dakine01 wrote a new diary post: October Is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
There is no excuse for domestic violence Although October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we have actually (I hope) gotten quite a bit more aware of domestic violence these past few months. We never know what action or incident is going to be a tipping point for an issue and cause it to dominate the [...] -

dakine01 commented on the blog post FDL Book Salon Welcomes Erwin Chemerinsky, The Case Against The Supreme Court
Good afternoon Erwin, Dahlia, and Bmaz and welcome back to FDL this afternoon.
Erwin, I have not had an opportunity to read your book so forgive me if you address this in there. I have long been a follower of SCOTUS since they have so much impact on our lives, even if from a distance. It seems that the Warren Court and to a lesser extent, the Burger Court were the aberrations in US history and that the current court more reflects the norm?
Does Scalia recognize just how disrespectful his attitude is towards people? Does he care or is his life time appointment his F*ck you to the rest of us? (I sure do not recall William O Douglas, Brandeis, Marshall, Warren or many others being nearly as disrespectful of folks who disagreed with them as Scalia (and Alito) seem to be)

Yeah, I did think that was a good description of how he weaves insanity into coherence.
