I'm sorry fellas. I just want to make sure you haven't missed this. It was in Taranto, but I want to make double sure, what with MFT always posting from Slate and Pepe from the Advocate. I would like to go through old posts to see if any of us (e.g. me) had any inkling this would happen. I think so. BTW, Sabrina is a killer babe.

This video is a fucking hour long. And it's not from slate.com. Why the hell would I want to watch it?
Kidding. I'll get to it a bit later this evening.
On a side note: JJ, you ever been to Mexico City?
Never heard of this girl -- she the one who wrote that NYT article you (and Taranto) got all excited about? I watched about 20 minutes of the tape -- she'[s good, quite articulate. Nice looking, too, though the jaw is a bit too square, methinks. She made a boo-boo though -- talking about the flight of that poor family to Ambar, the girl talks about them being stopped by Sunni terrorists. She then catches herself (Planet Pepe is watching, and they are not amused by such huge faux-pas!), and replaces "terrorists" by "militants" (as per the NYT French manual of style).
At any rate, yes, a breath of fresh air in that stultified Gray-Old-Lady, quasi-Stalinist atmosphere. But, JJ, keep in mind that old Romanian saying, une hirondelle ne fait pas le printemps.
Right. Even in the new article where the NYT seems to 'fess up that the religious fanatics are now being considered fanatics by the locals (though not till recently by the NYT) she still goes through the NYT formula about AQ in Mesopotamia is homegrown but Dick Cheney says it's foreign-led...
Ah, who cares? They're learning their lesson and with Gates, Petraeus, and Odierno, the other side are learning theirs too.
Just would be nice if Sabrina would stand up and maybe let us see what's under the hood...
Don't care about the jawline so much. The mole is adorable and what eyes! She went to Columbia, AI?
MFT, the important part of the video is about a third of that.. The other two thirds are devoted to some Al-Goreist idiot and Linda Greenhouse who's a certifiable idiot and Woodstock Hen. Also, you're free to mute the parts where that tiresome twit Charlie Rose speaks.
I have been in Mexico City only once when I was a tiny kid.
Thought it was awful until we got to this amazing Japanese garden thing in Chapultepec. I also liked the baroque cathedral in the middle of town. God, it was beautiful to me then. After the real McCoy (Bernini ad Borromini in Rome) I am not sure I'd go in for it much anymore.
Out in that garden the air was amazing. It was wet forest rainy mountain cold fresh. Something otherworldly to me after the pollution especially.
The rest was pollution and bad driving. Also a cab driver told us that there was a theater in which people went to watch women kiss each other. I didn't understand what could be so interesting about that till a lot later. Sorry I missed it, goddammit. Another ten years of digging girl-on-girl, lost to circumstance. Darn parents never took me anywhere really good. I asked them if we could go since I thought it would be interesting just to see somethnig different. Movies had men smooching women. Might be interesting for a change to see two chicks smooch, no? I got a flat no out of them. Probably the cabbie thought the conversation abot that was fun to listen to.
Close, but no cigar, JJ: she went to Barnard.
because she has no cigar? ended up better than Radcliffe. You watch any of Greenfield on Rose? scary 60s retard
Is that Meg Greenfield? She was a lefty dinosaur back in the Reagan days. She still around?
greenhouse? I dunno. watch the video if you can stand Rose
JJ, good Mexico City recollection. Tentatively I wanna get down there for a visit in the next couple years. A friend told me the smog isn't as thick these days since the switch to unleaded fuel. I hear the population is around 20 million in the capital these days, and outdoor adventurers who arrive by plane there usually find navigating the city more of a wonderous challenge than the nature they came to conquer.
