"A September 2007 article in American Psychologist that reviewed coverage of the Kitty Genovese murder in social psychology textbooks concluded the story of 38 witnesses is not supported by fact, and is more like a parable.

I'm a Michigander that thinks that the stripping of delegates was just. When I recently met Carl Levin, our Senator who was the main architect of the rule-breaking that Michigan did, he felt that the delegates SHOULDN'T be seated.

The entire point of the whole rule-breaking was to protest the unchanging primary calendar that gives Iowa and New Hampshire such overblown importance in deciding presidential nominees. After this primary season, Levin hoped that the Democratic National Committee would commit to a rotating calendar to give all states equal opportunity so embarrassing affairs like these wouldn't happen again.

The one thing that Levin didn't foresee was that the primary season would be so long this year, since he assumed that Iowa and New Hampshire would decide the nominee as usual. So now he looks like an idiot, but his original goal makes plenty of sense.

If Michigan's and Florida's delegates ARE seated, then it will show that the DNC is powerless and can't enforce any rules. Thus, if it tries to move back the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primaries, the states won't have to listen. The current calendar will remain and the two states will continue to enjoy their disproportionately important roles.

Watch out!

Oh, and Nine-'Levin. Terrrrrists.

Looking at some other Quantum comments about this subject.. It really looks like he is either Mark Levine himself or completely taking Mark Levine's words and putting then in his mouth... And if you think that guy's got the truth, I feel very...very sorry for you for being so easily mislead.

Five different shows for me. Santa Barbara - First tour with Fripp, Fast, Levin, et. al. Berkeley twice. Oakland and San Francisco once each. Superlatives do not capture the atmosphere of a Gabriel show. Great post!

Beat me, Good Olbermann rant.

What if Adam Levine and Avril Lavigne had a baby?

There were lots of warnings about an attack occuring. Yet we are lead to believe it was a suprise attack. I still to this day cannot buy that the intelligence community failed in this regard, when it has fought a cold war with the USSR.

The chairman and vice chairman of the 9/11 Commission – New Jersey’s former Republican Governor Thomas Kean and former Democratic Indiana Representative Lee Hamilton, respectively – agreed that the 9/11 attacks could have been prevented.

“The whole story might have been different,” Kean said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on April 4, 2004. Kean cited a string of law-enforcement blunders including the “lack of coordination within the FBI” and the FBI’s failure to understand the significance of Moussaoui’s arrest in August while training to fly passenger jets.

Yet, as the clock ticked down to 9/11, the Bush administration continued to have other priorities. On Aug. 9, Bush gave a nationally televised speech on stem cells, delivering his judgment permitting federal funding for research on 60 preexisting stem-cell lines, but barring government support for work on any other lines of stem cells that would be derived from human embryos.

Scientists complained that the existing lines were too tainted with mouse cells and too limited to be of much value. But the national news media mostly hailed Bush’s split decision as “Solomon-like” and proof that he had greater gravitas than his critics would acknowledge.

CIA Director Tenet said he made one last push to focus Bush on the impending terrorism crisis, but the encounter veered off into meaningless small talk.

“A few weeks after the August 6 PDB was delivered, I followed it to Crawford to make sure the President stayed current on events,” Tenet wrote in his memoir. “This was my first visit to the ranch. I remember the President graciously driving me around the spread in his pickup and my trying to make small talk about the flora and the fauna, none of which were native to Queens,” where Tenet had grown up.

Bush and his senior advisers continued their hostility toward what they viewed as the old Clinton phobia about terrorism and this little-known group called al-Qaeda.

On Sept. 6, 2001, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld threatened a presidential veto of a proposal by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, seeking to transfer money from strategic missile defense to counterterrorism.

Also on Sept. 6, former Sen. Hart was still trying to galvanize the Bush administration into showing some urgency about the terrorist threat. Hart met with Condoleezza Rice and urged the White House to move faster. Rice agreed to pass on Hart’s concerns to higher-ups.

That is WONDERFUL. Weird Al Yankovic used to do a lot of these fake interviews on this ALTV segments on MTV. The interviews with Adam Ant and Avril Levine were particular classics. I'd suspect Jay swiped it from Al, except both probably stole it from Steve Allen.

If you're a bassist, there are not many folks more inspirational than Geddy Lee!

Gotta ask: have you ever seen Gov't Mule's "Rising Low" DVD? After their bassist, Allen Woody, died, Warren Haynes (my hero started a tribute project, during which he gathered some of the best bass players in the world together to play Allen Woody's Gov't Mule parts, as well as their own signature pieces, live and on a tribute album. The result was "The Deep End" (a 2 volume CD set) and "Rising Low" (a DVD capturing the making of the CDs, and the resulting tour): http://www.mule.net/discography/rising_low.html

Here's the list of bassists on the DVD / CDs: Allen Woody, Alphonso Johnson, Bootsy Collins, Billy Cox, Chris Squire, Chris Wood, Dave Schools, Flea, George Porter Jr., Jack Bruce, Jack Casady, Joey Arkenstat, John Entwistle, Terry Graham, Les Claypool, Meshell Ndegeocello, Mike Gordon, Mike Watt, Oteil Burbridge, Phil Lesh, Rocco Prestia, Roger Glover, Stefan Lessard, Tony Levin, Willie Weeks

Tony Levin is amazing on the bass guitar and sitar. Check out some of his stuff in Liquid Tension Experiment.

Check out Tony Levin playing his bass with shortened drumsticks attached to his fingers. Got that from the Gabriel era - "Big Time," "Secret World," and "Steam," to be specific. He calls them "Funk Fingers." Oh, and for you bass people, it's an Ernie Ball Stingray in its various forms that Levin plays.

Heart of the Sunrise acoustic!
Jon Anderson & Tony Levin!
Freakin sweet man!
This is an awesome treat.
thank you so much deathcow.

Don't forget Tony Levin with his Bass-stick.
