SHELLEY BERMAN, the veteran actor and comedian, balled up a fist and held it against one of his ears. "This is the way you hold a phone," he said. "This" - he extended his thumb and pinky in imitation of a telephone receiver - "is ridiculous! This is not how you hold a phone."from : When Larry David Calls, You Answer

The very definition of strategery -- I woke to the Preznit's speech about his strategery for winification in Iraq. What a steaming bucket of shite! How does this twit have a shred of credibility left? NPR had Sen. Feingold to respond. (Hey, Wisconsin, wanna swap a Feinstein for a Feingold?) The Repub on the panel was some US Rep from Fla. Her non-sequitor was "well we weren't in Iraq on 9/11" I screamed at the radio, "yeah, well we weren't in Iraq on fucking December 7, 1941, but what the fuck does that have to do with anything?"
All in all, a shitty way to wake up.
Can we have a vote of no confidence? Now?

Beach Boys Good Vibrations Tour
I posted this once on the music page, but the wonder of cable keeps bringing it around: today on Ovation at noon. A must-see if you have any interest in the Boys; worth recording.

Great Moments in Conservative Punditry
I know Atrios blogged on this two days ago, but the Brooks piece just appeared in my local paper. I was eating lunch, and almost did a spit take when I came to this sentence. How can a man so profoundly stupid be so prominent in the media?
Every time you delve into the situation in Iraq, you come away with the phrase "not enough troops" ringing in your head, and I hope someday we will find out how this travesty came about.

ART CELEBRITIES IN VOGUE
For an especially bizarre welcome to the new holiday season, pick up the December issue of Vogue magazine. In a 23-page feature styled by Vogue veteran Grace Coddington and photographed by Annie Leibovitz, several top artists who should have known better participated in a fluffy promotional fashion shoot for the young collagen-lipped movie star Keira Knightley. In the photo spread, Knightley is cast as an unlikely blonde Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, while Alba and Francesco Clemente play Dorothy’s Auntie Em and Uncle Henry, Kara Walker is Glinda the Good Witch, Brice Marden perches on a cross (!) in a cornfield as the Scarecrow, John Currin dresses up as the Tin Man and the notoriously reticent Jasper Johns plays the Cowardly Lion (!!). The cast is rounded out with Chuck Close as the Wizard (complete with his early black-and-white self-portrait with cigarette), Kiki Smith as the Wicked Witch (!!!) and Jeff Koons in brown makeup and batwings as the witch’s wicked monkey.
Vogue’s art fest continues with a line-up of remarkably anti-erotic nudes by Vanessa Beecroft, Jeff Koons, Elizabeth Peyton, Richard Prince, Julian Schnabel and Cindy Sherman, works that also go on view at Mitchell-Innes & Nash on West 26th Street in Chelsea, Nov. 18-Dec. 23, 2005. For us, the real art in the magazine is the 12-page spread of fashion advertisements from Wal-Mart.
“You’re starting to destroy my fucking life, Luke, do you know that?” The words echo, and the three other people in the pool stare at us. “I’m being exceptionally nice to you doing this here. Exceptionally nice. I hope you realize that.”
