Jeff,
A couple of questions:
(1) Have you read any of Michael Polanyi’s books? He wrote “Personal Knowledge,” which has the most appealing epistemology I have seen.
(2) Should I have asked you this elsewhere, and, if so, where? I don’t want to spoil your threads.
Cheers!

True love like this is inspiring.
I think I’ll do the righteous neocon thing, here–and *pre-emptively* point out that *THIS IS NOT FUNNY* because *IRONY BELONGS TO THE OPPRESSED, NOT TO THE EVIL JACKBOOTED THUGS OF THE MASTER NARRATIVE*.
Will she be wearing a sun dress? Because the combination of bangs and a sun dress … well I can lust in my heart.
OT I know, but may save you loss if you are ready for it…

No, haven’t read them. Any good?
But can she bake a cherry pie??
I don’t care how clean your shirt gets, I’m not hanging around here waiting for nothing.
Hmmm.
You know we never really appreciate the trees enough.
Jeff: As a fan of Polanyi’s work, I can see no relation between Personal Knowledge and simple pizza stains, let alone bangs (of whichever alluring kind) but I can tell you that his is the first real advance in epistemological thinking since Kant. I discovered a few years ago that there are now whole cliques in the various hard—and soft—sciences that are trying to think out the implications. If one could find a dead-tree journalist capable of understanding this level of thinking, it might destroy forever the great myth of “objectivity.” But it has nothing to do with Foucault’s Froggy nonsense or that of any of his hanger-on mecs. No deconstructionism crap. Just hard deep thinking by a man who held 400 chemical patents but then became a political scientist at Manchester University after leaving Budapest.
Yeah……there’s a huge overabundance of marriageable women out here in Jesusland.
BECAUSE OF THE MONOGAMY!!
First Berlin and then Polanyi. Not bad company for a failed academic…
And she’ll have bangs a man can comb his mustache with, too.
But no hair, you know……down there.
Spamword, “growing.” STG.
Meet Lara. She’d like to straighten you out about something.

Meet Lara. She’d like to straighten you out
Moochos Grassyass Zeb!!
She did straighten me out. I felt like she was looking at only me when she did that thing with her lips.
And attractive? The only thing that might make her more beautiful would be if she had a pair of balls resting on her orbital sockets.
Thanks for the heads-up!
This is the Pro-Teen Whiz Dome, right?
I did notice at least one apples and oranges comment in Lara Logans report. She compared overall jobs to Government jobs in theis paraphrased comment. …the said that 1.5 million jobs would be created but to date only 77 thousand ?Government? jobs have been created.
All jobs being paid by Iraqi Govt?
I saw that CR.
Also, she mentions that there is good news happening – schools, water plants, but she can’t get the security to get out there.
But when she can get the security, the military does not want her to report because it might instigate an attack.
Because, of course, once CBS reports to Ohio that there is good news in Iraq, Cleveland might mobilize to put a stop to it.
I still like that other thing she did with her lips, though.
The military can maintain security long enough for a new school to be opened, or long enough for a water treatment plant to be built, but the complex strata of factors involved with providing security for a hot, blonde reporter with an accent is too much to risk.
C’mon people! WAKE UP!!
Lara Logan: You mean to tell me that if I go out of the Green Zone I’m supposed to wear this dorky Fonzie helmet while I report?
Col. Mann: Yes ma’m.
Lara Logan: No fucking way buster!
Better not report on the Freedom Riders or it will make the KKK mad.
Oh, and its those northern agitators fault they’re mad in the first place. This ain’t Vietnam, it’s Jim Crow.
LOGAN: Well, who says things aren’t falling apart in Iraq? I mean, what you didn’t see on your screens this week was all the unidentified bodies that have been turning up…
NATE: Did you say boobies?
LOGAN: What?
NATE: I’m sorry, I zoned out there for a second.
LOGAN: Right. So all the allegations here of militias that are really controlling the security forces.
NATE: Can I smell your hair? I bet you moisturize. Perfect skin really. Mr. Logan sure is a lucky man.
LOGAN: Sir?
NATE: Let me see your tit. Come on. Just one. Is that inappropriate?
LOGAN: Could we please stay on topic? Your crude comments have no place in this discussion.
NATE: Your absolutely right. My mannors were completely absent. Please continue.
LOGAN: So, and, what about all the American soldiers that died this week that you didn’t see on our screens? I mean, we’ve reported on reconstruction stories over and over again…
NATE: I’d pay ten grand just to have your nipple in my mouth. I wouldn’t bite it hard. Just nipple on it. Did I say nipple? I meant nibble. I’d like to nibble your nipple. God I’m getting so hot right now.
LOGAN: That’s it. This interview is over. You are a vile man.
NATE: Come on baby. I won’t be weird or nothing. Don’t leave. Hate the game, not the player. That’s just the way I roll.
So, let me see if I’ve got this right:
This woman says that when she asks the military about good news, they’ve got a whole pile of things to say. But when she asks to go and look at them, they decline because of security reasons.
And this is given as a justification for not reporting those events at all.
They’re perfectly willing to report on soldiers killed and injured, even if they can’t get to the site of the IED attack, but they won’t bother to mention any positive development, because they can’t get to the site.
Nope, no bias there.
Salient to be sure Noah, but why do you gloss over Ms. Logan’s obvious hotness as if it not relevant?
You once again failed to work “Hot Carl” or “Rusty Trombone” into your comment.
What are you hiding?
Al,
Egyptian Teabag, Pittsburgh Platter, Dirty Sanchez, Texas Shocker, Roman Helmet, Double Fish Hook, and Bulgarian Gas Mask all come to mind when I look at Ms. Logan.
T/W If a Cleveland Steamer is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Hiding? I’m not hiding…look, I’m sure you’re trying to insinuate something here, but…
All right, look – I’ll go and watch the clip a few more times. And I’ll pay careful attention to those lips…
TW: mans
Now that’s just creepy.
And may I say Snake that you show incredible restraint by thinking of all that foreplay before bull-rushing right into the “Alabama Hot Pocket”.
You sir, are both sensitive and generous in the ways of amore.
I am a tender lover of women.
T/W Grrrrrunnnnnt! Wheeewwww, that was hot baby. Uhhhhhh, let me get you a bucket and some Wet Wipes.
You’ll go far my son.
Noah D, the death reports can be confirmed by the actual centcom reports and loads of bodies at the morgues which are piling up.
The flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children dance and laugh and play with gumdrop smiles are still pure fiction with zero evidence.
Ms. Logan is just telling it like it is. You check sources and report the truth, not what you want the truth to become.
But of course, they were there once, under Saddam. Until the evil Bushco invaded and spoiled all that.
Not likely, as the Turing word would have it.
The flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children dance and laugh and play with gumdrop smiles
Shouldn’t a couple of midgets be dancing around an 18” Stonehenge to these words?
Where? On CNN?
BWHAAAHAAAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
The News We Kept To Ourselves
And here’s a quote from a newly translated document from Saddam’s government:
“D. Not to dig these grave by the Iraqi side… and it is possible to make a dialogue with the CNN channel to give them a priority on this subject to have an influence over the international arena and it will be accepted more than the Iraqi media.”

[lots of cursing and the ubiquitous chickenhawk meme deleted, as was the note that “dave” would be happy to take up a collection to fly any of you who wish into the combat arena.
Now sure, many of you are active and retired military—and should WE offer to take up a collection to send “dave” to, say, Cuba, we’d be attacking his patriotism—but what the hell. Why bother with it. “Dave’s” an asshole, and he offers nothing of substance.
Sad and pathetic, he used every talking point (bedwetters, cowards, chickenhawk) his lefty blog masters have asked him to spread. WEEPLE FOR THE SHEEPLE, PEOPLE! – ed]
I’d like to ask a question – since you all distrust the information coming from CNN and CBS News correspondents:
What is the name of the Fox News bureau chief or permanent correspondent based in Bagdad, or anywhere else in Iraq, for that matter? Who do they use to report the “fair and balanced” news there?
I’ll save you the fruitless effort —Nobody. That’s who.
I guess the only foreign correspondent on the Fox payroll is still “on assignment” in Aruba.
Dave’s comment invokes the “chickenhawk” drinking game again! Everybody drink up!
And in honor of Jackie, let’s have a round of the “If you hate CNN, I tell you Fox is no better” drinking game!
TW: hic. That’s just scary.
Jaqueline —
What makes you think I trust Fox anymore than CBS (CNN has a history of making shady deals in Iraq, so let’s leave them out of this).
Or should I say Faux News to make you feel more comfortable?
I do know that FOX’s Bill Hemmer has been embedded for a while now, so he’s offering some useful info. But I think Shep Smith, for instance, is every bit as bad as most US reporters who read their news from the AP wire.
Jeff said:
What makes you think I trust Fox anymore than CBS ?
Everything you’ve said on this thread. Reads very much like a Fox news faithful viewer. (i.e., crude, personal attacks on Ms. Logan instead of thoughtful discourse on what she has experienced firsthand while on duty in the war zone.)
My apologies if that is not the case. I doubt it, but I will give you (and the other “Me too!s” on the thread) the benefit of said doubt.
Good day!
I didn’t post a thing on Ms Logan.
And if you were to skim my site, you’d note that I pull info from a wide number of sources.
Tell you what: I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and forgive you for making a number of general assumptions based on the tongue-in-cheek remarks made by a few commenters.
And good day to you, too!
Civility and demeanor, the likes of which tends to be rare in the land of Blogdome.

So Jackie,
Not a big Spinal Tap fan, are you?
Jacqueline,
Not to be argumentative, but other than her physical appearance, there seems to be very little that Ms. Logan has brought to her job. She even says that she can’t travel around Iraq, she says the security situation makes it too dangerous. She defines her position as a “prisoner.†How can you possibly make the case that we should have aâ€Âthoughtful discourse on what she has experienced firsthand while on duty in the war zone.â€Â
A thoughtful discourse on what she has experienced in the war zone would involve, by her own admission, virtually nothing. So we are left with a woman who, dressed as she is, would be stoned to death by the first really devout Islamic crown she encountered. As a substitute for a real reporter she is a joke. But a pretty joke, with a delightful accent.
(edited for brevity)
Wrong.
And this is from 30 seconds of following links from Centcom’s main page. It’s called ‘checking sources’. I will leave the ‘what you want the truth to become’ statement alone. Such irony hardly needs comment.
Jaqueline,
I’ve had time to think it over and I feel I owe you and Jeff an apology. I’m sorry if some of my comments came off as crude and made you feel uncomfortable. Mr. Goldstein’s new readers should not encounter this kind of boorish manliness before having a chance to acclimate themselves to the site.
I should have considered your feelings and I did not, and for that I am truly sorry.
By the way: “Jaqueline” – that sounds French. That’s so hot.
Well played Noah
Yeah? Too bad you can’t spell it, then.
I see what you guys are all about. I don’t need to come back again. Anyway, I certainly didn’t need to defend Lara Logan. Her fifteen years’ experience, which included “…covering the war in Afghanistan, Middle East violence, the Mozambique floods, the land invasions in Zimbabwe and the India earthquake…covering the U.S. embassy bombings in Nairobi and Tanzania, the conflict in Northern Ireland and the war in Kosovo, among other stories. “ means she’s put up with her fair share of know-nothings and sexist pigs. So I imagine she can take care of herself. Good bye. Enjoy sitting around in your own muck, admiring your self-important asses, as I’m sure you do.
Anyone else picturing Jackwaleene and Ms. Logan together in a steam room?
Oh and Jacqueline Propps?
Why did you strain so hard to leave out the fact that Logan is a former swimsuit model? Talk about putting up with sexist pigs!!
Come back Jackie!!
Jacqueline Propps, are you same woman I knew at San Francisco State so many years ago? If so, I think of you often and wouldn’t mind hearing from you.
Yes I am. if you leave your email here I can contact you.
This isn’t a safe place for me to leave mine, as you can imagine.
I don’t know about protein wisdom, but it sure is exciting tof un across you! What have you been up to? I have lead a mostly dissolute life, though I have been instrumental in creating a beautiful, intelligent daughter. I’ve just gotten a warning that my time is running out on this site – please write when you get a chance. Thanks!
Crazy Dave –
Please let me know where I can email you – or look me up at firedoglake.com. I am there a lot.
<blockquote> oops! the correct email spelling is Looking forward to hearing from you. Hardly a week has passed in 20+ years when I haven’t thought of you and the other S.F. Staters…Sounds like you’ve lived an interesting life. Can’t wait to hear about it.
