I'm going to preface this blog post by saying I have not read Thank You Economy by Gary Vaynerchuk.
I did read Crush It, but it was really difficult for me to get through because the writing is so poor. In his defense, Gary does admit he's not a writer; rather he wrote the book because he was asked to do so…and then he was asked again.
So, imagine my surprise when John Falchetto sent me a scan of a couple of pages from Thank You Economy.
Ninety-five percent of the worst social media engagement I've seen was produced by PR companies that were hired to manage a brand's profiles, pages, or blogs.
Wow. That's quite the statement! Ninety-five percent of the worst social media engagement he's seen?
As you can imagine, I set right to work to see where he found that stat. It turns out, he made it up. OK. Maybe of the companies he's worked with, 95 percent of them had botched social media campaigns. So he didn't entirely make it up. But that's an awfully big generalization to make in a book. A published book with a real publisher.
He goes on to say:
Please, companies, stop hiring PR firms to do your community management. PR is in the push business; they send out press releases and book appearances and work B2B. They're used to talking to editors, writers, and producers, not the public. They have no idea what's going on in the trenches, and they're awkward and shaky when they try to go there. The only reason PR claims they can do it is because they see which way the wind is blowing and it's not toward them.
They'll say anything to avoid losing your business. The ad agencies do a beter job than the PR companies because they are in the business of thinking about what the consumer wants, but ideally, try to hire people internally for this job. Select the employees who know your business well, and care about it as much as you do, and can demonstrate quick, creative thinking, flexibility, and compassion. Those are the people you want representing your brand to the masses. If you don't feel as though you have the knowledge in-house, hire a company to get the ball rolling and train your staff, then hand the reins off to your team.
Look, I am the very first one to admit that a customer or prospect doesn't want to talk to a middle man; they want to talk to someone within your four walls. Gone are the days of hiring a PR firm because of their relationships with the media. Gone are the days of the scripted soundbytes and the canned responses to interview questions.
Now we're in real-time where we have real relationships with those who do or may buy from us.
But don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
PR professionals, by nature, know how to build relationships: With media, with influencers, with Wall Street, with stakeholders, with employees…and even with customers.
If you were to read that statement in the book you'd think PR pros only work with media…and that's all we've ever done.
Well guess what? Publicity is one tiny piece of PR. And I mean tiny. In a fully integrated campaign, it's typically 10 percent or less.
I agree: Keep the community management in-house as Gary suggests. But hire outside counsel to help you with campaign ideas, messaging, creating value-added content, taking the French (the we, we, we) out of all of your sales and marketing materials, building your reputation, being ready for real-time crisis, and even learning how to build relationships with your key constitutes.
If you find the right PR firm for your business, you'll have more than a five percent success rate.

It really shocked me because I always saw PR as being able to able to get social media (because of the dialogue they have with the press and others) better than advertising (which is push media).
I agree with @KenMueller how does Gary know who is running the social media campaign? I guess if it's very badly done he finds out. BUt in many instances it's impossible to tell.
@KenMueller It makes me angry that he write a book, aimed toward business leaders, and uses his experience as a sweeping generalization. Sure, there are PR firms that don't get it. And there are social media campaigns that haven't worked. But, more often than not, those campaigns have been because of internal efforts (Kenneth Cole) not because of a PR firm.
@johnfalchetto @KenMueller I think, what he was saying, is it's the companies he's worked with that hired PR firms and he wasn't happy with their work on the social media campaigns (in which case he would know). But it makes it sound like every social media campaign that ever ended badly was run by a PR firm. And that's just not true.
Good to see you back on form Gini. I'd been thinking the same thing for some time, glad it's being discussed.
Agree with John and Ken, how does he know who was behind the campaigns, unless, as you say, he is referring to those he has worked on. That aside, amazing how we see all see the world so differently. I know I've commented on this before here at SS, but I think in the aggregate good PR people (read — not spin doctors) are extremely attuned to consumers, because they have to be.
And BTW, did you know that 95% of traditional publishers are understaffed in their Editorial departments and allow unsubstantiated statistics to be published. 🙂
Hi Gini… you certainly nailed it when you talked about the days of scripted sound bites being gone and taking the French out of sales. Being on the video side of things, I can usually tell when a company has worked with a good PR pro. They're more relaxed, engaging, and don't get caught up in providing the "right" answer.
Not coincidentally… all those things lead to better PR/sales/marketing videos. Heck… it leads to better content in general.

It;s funny and ironic, as VaynerMedia is responsible for two of the worst pitches I've seen. Maybe look at tidying up your own house first before taking a vacuum cleaner to someone else's…
great points, thnx for the feedback
@DannyBrown sorry u feel that way man, would love to here what they were via email gary @ vaynermedia .com and I am sorry u feel that way!
@ginidietrich @KenMueller guys I am so sorry that that one statement upset you, I was trying to make a point about push but understand your 2 cents and respect them and understand how that can be viewed, in the context of the chapter I think it makes much more sense, I am so sorry it was taken poorly
OH Gini I had a ghost writer and harper collins editor for Crush it so I am not sad at the comment about poorly written 😉 lol anyway I agree with much u are saying here and thank you for the yang to my ying
@garyvee Cheers, Gary. Not sure if I still have, but one was around the Crush It book and the "lack of" information when we were asked about requests and how to work with a method that was better suited to our audiences.
It seemed there was a n approach more for basic numbers of reveiews, interviews, etc, as opposed to actually wanting to "be there" for questions.
This may have been the agency as it was pretty new at the time if I recall.
I will not respond to this post, I will not respond to this post, I will not respond to this post.
@garyvee @ginidietrich @KenMueller Gary, I think it is neat that you listened, responded and are concerned about others opinions.
I was a community manager for Gary briefly for one of his agency's clients. It didn't work out.
Interesting article Gini. I was a community manager briefly for VM, unfortunately it didn't work out.
I can understand this kind of statement more in a presentation because you can get the paralinguistic element of it too – it's an exaggeration, Gary's looking for a reaction. But to be fair to Gary, I just didn't take that sentence seriously when I read it first time around. It was more about throwing down the gauntlet.
That said, I do think it's good to take this up Gini because so much sweeping statements get peddled out and shared all across the community and can do damage.
*Kudos GV for joining in the conversation here !
"Publicity is one tiny piece of PR." Exactly correct Gini! Why is it so hard for the PR business to get this really basic and simple point across. Regarding push, we actually overtly define our approach to PR as pull.
Gini is 100% correct when she says Publicity is one tiney pice of PR. When will the rest of the world understand that?
I seriously will not respond to this post, I seriously will not respond to this post, I seriously will not respond to this post……..
@garyvee You are fantastic at video and knowing wine so I'll give you that! I'm just sad that such a blanket statement was made in a book that A LOT of business leaders will read. Is this statement based on your own experience? I know a lot of the botched social media campaigns have been by internal folks. I also know I'm biased because PR is my profession, but we're not all bad.
(P.S. thanks for taking the time to stop by)
@MimiMeredith @garyvee I agree with Mimi. Most people won't take the time and I really appreciate that you did.
@davenicoll LOL! I haven't been on a rant in a while. I'm on one tomorrow, too. 🙂 This whole argument over who own social is ridiculous.
@Nick Chicken.
@adamtoporek Ha at your BTW! LOL! And I have a BTW for you…we were talking about you in our staff meeting today. We'd like to have you back!
@ginidietrich No, I just have to share an office… 🙂
@T60Productions Totally agree. And it's not totally up to PR to do that for companies. It's everyone's job to provide better content.
@Nick Chicken x 2
@DannyBrown You have to love it when the man answers the critics! @garyvee
@MimiMeredith You crack me up. LOL
@megmroberts As a matter of fact, a much bigger conversation that is going to happen here tomorrow. I was part of #bizforum on Wednesday night, where we talked about where social belongs. SO MANY opinions. I have one, too. 🙂
And…I haven't forgotten about blogging the PR/bloggers manifesto. Next week!
@Jmodio Mind sharing with us why it didn't work out??
@NancyD68 The bigger issue, Nancy, is that these kinds of blanket statements are where business leaders (your bosses) are getting their information. And it's just not true. There are bad PR pros and bad PR firms. There are bad ad pros and bad ad agencies. But to say an entire industry ruins something is ludicrous.
@jonbuscall But how many business leaders understand this is a blanket statement? That's what bothers me. Gary has HUGE influence. This kind of statement can damage an entire industry.
Gini – great post! I'm so tired of hearing biased and generally uninformed anti-PR rants. Yes, there are many bad PRs out there whose inept social media activities have tarred our profession but there are many, many good ones whose clients enjoy great success.
I also really liked your comment about publicity only being one element of PR. We are a multi-discipline profession and a skilled practitioner can deliver unequaled value in many areas of the marketing mix.
@ginidietrich @megmroberts I love it! Great post and points made here. Can't wait to hear your opinion on where social belongs, of course you wouldn't be the Gini we love without an opinion!
By the way Gini, I listened to "Crush it" on audio which was very entertaining, definitely a better medium for him.
This kind of unsubstantiated nonsense should be ignored. It's designed to grab attention, rather than inform or inspire dialog. For the record, Media Relations makes up 2 percent of the Examination for Accreditation in Public Relations. And, for the record, I am a member of the Universal Accreditation Board, which administers and grants the APR credential.
@ginidietrich Yes but @garyvee said it! @NancyD68

Two teens arrested over the weekend may have been videotaping each other burglarizing homes in Upper Darby to post their exploits on Facebook or some other Web site, police superintendent Michael Chitwood theorizes.
Instead, the videos turned into mug shots, of a sort. The boys, 15 and 16, took video of each other when they broke into a half-dozen homes in the Drexel Hill section Thursday and Friday afternoon, Chitwood said yesterday.
They stole credit cards, money, jewelry and small electronics, which they carried off in a back pack, and, from one house, Christmas gifts that had already been wrapped, Chitwood said.

Putin Rejects Idea Syria Used Chemical Weapons
Russian President Calls on Obama to Turn Over All Evidence to U.N. Security Council
MOSCOW—Russian President Vladimir Putin called the idea that the Syrian regime would use chemical weapons "absolute nonsense" and said "run-of-the-mill interceptions of some conversations that don't prove anything" can't justify military action against a sovereign state.
Mr. Putin's unusually-strong remarks Saturday escalated a war of words between the Kremlin and the White House and came a day after Secretary of State John Kerry denounced "Russian obstructionism" that he said has made it impossible for the United Nations "to galvanize the world to act as it should."
Mr. Putin's comments mark the first time the Russian president has weighed in on the debate over a possible Western military strike in Syria since information surfaced about a brutal Aug. 21 chemical-weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs. He also cheered the U.K. parliament for rejecting a proposal to intervene in Syria.
The Obama administration released a U.S. intelligence assessment Friday that blamed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime for that attack. The dossier based its conclusions partly on intercepted communications involving a Syrian government official "intimately familiar" with the suburban strike, in which he confirms the regime used chemical weapons. The administration didn't release all of its intelligence on the incident, which killed 1,429 people, including more than 400 children, according to U.S. assessments.
President Barack Obama said Saturday he is prepared to take military action if necessary against Syria for the alleged use of chemical weapons against its own people, but said he will seek authorization from Congress before moving forward. Lawmakers aren't scheduled to return to Washington from their August break until Sept. 9, but they could be called back sooner.
Since the civil war in Syria erupted in March 2011, the Kremlin has stood by Mr. Assad's regime, a longtime ally and arms client. Russia has vetoed a number of U.N. Security Council resolutions that would have pressured Mr. Assad to step down and has provided the Syrian leader with aid and arms but not enough to ensure him an outright victory.
"To say that the Syrian government used chemical weapons when the Syrian army is on the offensive is absolute nonsense," Mr. Putin said Saturday.

Mr. Putin has argued against any military action by outside powers, describing rebel fighters in Syria as extremists and suggesting that intervention would bring more instability to the Middle East. The Russian president, who said he expects to discuss the situation with Mr. Obama during next week's G-20 summit in St. Petersburg, reminded the U.S. president Saturday of the mixed results of previous Western interventions in the region.
"I would above all appeal to him, not as my colleague, not as the U.S. President or a head of state, but as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and urge him to remember what has happened in the past decade," Mr. Putin said, commenting to Russian news agencies during a trip to the Far East city of Vladivostok.
Mr. Putin pointed to the results of military interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. "The is no calm, no such democracy that our partners allegedly sought, not even basic civil peace and equilibrium," he said.
Though Mr. Obama has urged Mr. Assad to step down, he has said that the purpose of a military intervention in Syria wouldn't be to cause regime change. U.S. officials have suggested pursuing a limited strike designed to disable further use of chemical arms and send a strong message that weapons of mass destruction are intolerable.
On Saturday, Mr. Putin called on the U.S. to hand over its full intelligence assessment on the recent attack to the U.N. Security Council and U.N. inspectors analyzing the incident.
"Claims that they have evidence, but it's secret and they can't make it available to anyone and can't withstand any criticism—it's just disrespect to their partners," Mr. Putin said. He said "if there is evidence, it should be presented, and if it's not presented, that means there is none."
"With regard to the possible use of any weapons of mass destruction, including chemical weapons, our position is consistent," Mr. Putin said. "We are categorically against them and condemn them, and accordingly, if their use is proved, we will participate in the development of measures to counteract such occurrences."
Mr. Putin's comments came two days after the U.K. Parliament voted down a proposal by Prime Minister David Cameron to take military action in Syria in response to the Aug. 21 chemical-weapons attack, which the U.K. also believes was the work of Mr. Assad's regime.
"The British Parliament's decision on Syria was a complete surprise to me," Mr. Putin said. "It shows that there are people there who are guided by common sense."

BEIJING — China executed four foreigners Friday for the killing of 13 Chinese sailors in an attack on the Mekong River, following a live nationwide broadcast showing them being led to their deaths that harkened back to the mass public execution rallies of past years.
State broadcaster CCTV showed the four being led from their cells at a jail in southwestern Yunnan province's capital of Kunming at about 2 pm prior to their execution by lethal injection. In shackles and handcuffs, they were trussed with a rope binding their arms behind their backs before being placed into court vans and driven to execution chambers.
Their deaths were announced two hours later by the Yunnan provincial police department.
Accused ringleader Naw Kham and accomplices Hsang Kham, Yi Lai, and Zha Xiha were found guilty of the murder of 13 Chinese sailors in an October 2011, attack on the Mekong River. The four are of Burmese, Thai, Laotian, and unknown nationality. Two others were given suspended death sentences for their parts in the killings.
Friday's live broadcast was unusual because China has mostly abandoned the once common practice of parading condemned criminals before crowds in stadiums and through city streets on the way to execution grounds on the edge of cities.
The decision to broadcast was a response to widespread outrage among the Chinese public over the killings, as well as an attempt to emphasize both the heinousness of the crime and the efficiency of China's police and courts in doling out justice to the four, said professor Yu Guoming of the School of Mass Media at Beijing's Renmin University.
"The brutality of Naw Kham in the killing really got ordinary Chinese people riled up. It's no wonder that it has attracted such huge attention from the public," Yu said.
The gang was accused of ambushing two flat-bottomed Chinese cargo ships on the upper reaches of the Mekong on Oct. 5, 2011, in Burmese waters infested with gangs that make their livings from protection rackets and the production and smuggling of heroin, methamphetamine and other drugs. The Mekong flows south from Yunnan through the infamous Golden Triangle region, where the borders of Burma, Laos and Thailand meet, and provides a vital trade and transportation route between southwestern China and Southeast Asia.
The ships were recovered downriver later the same day by Thai police following a gun battle with gang members, and the bodies of the 13 dead, some of whom were bound by the hands before being stabbed and shot, were fished from the river over the following days. Methamphetamines were found on the boats, leading to speculation they had been hijacked as part of a drug smuggling plot.
However, gang members later testified the killings were in retaliation for the ships refusing to pay protection money and allowing themselves to be used by Thai and Laotian soldiers in attacks on warlord bases. They said the drugs were placed on board to make it look like there had been a struggle between smugglers.
China's Public Security Ministry made the case a top priority and Naw was arrested in Laos on April 25 last year and turned over to China the following month along with his accomplices. Because the killings took place on board Chinese flagged vessels, Beijing, whose massive economy and powerful military gives it considerable sway over its smaller southern neighbors, ruled the trials should take place in China.
Months after the killings, China established a multinational river patrol mechanism headquartered in Yunnan, which Beijing claims has been effective in clamping down on such bloody incidents.
"The case set a precedent that China would vigorously pursue criminals who commit crimes against its nationals. That's led to an expansion of Chinese police powers into the neighboring region and a big boost in Chinese influence," said Jin Canrong, associate dean of Renmin University's School of International Studies.
Associated Press researcher Yu Bing contributed to this report.
They were shown on State Television before the execution!
why the hell is too many chinese in mandalay and shan state; seems like most of them got here in t he last two decades cuz none of them speak Bama sakar or any local burmese dialects? what kind of permits they have for living in Burma: burmese citizenships ? this government is so messed up! it is one thing to get helped from chinese government but totally another to start importing chinese in millions who don't give a damn about our country or culture. I foresee a major foreign chinese vs local clashes that result in thousands being killed. for that damned chinese invaders, china is a much better country. just stay where you truly belong instead of trying to take over the whole asia like what you did to tibets some 60 years ago cuz it don't work in modern times.
The public display of this case is a warning from Peking to Burma that China will go out of its way and exercise extra-territorial jurisdiction (which is against international law actually) to protect Chinese citizens (business people, workers, even Chinese soldiers and police on river patrols) and Chinese "investments" (mines, gas/oil pipelines, railways, sea-ports, dams, land, etc. etc.) in Burma. Letting in so many Chinese and Chinese money into Burma was a huge mistake that Than Shwe and his cronies made. Burma is paying a heavy price for that now.
Like a commercial showcasing the ruthless nature of the ruling government appealing to the equally ruthless and cruel nature of the fitting "human" that populate that country China.
Then again they do learn it from the dear Yankees, the moral, intellectual, technological, leaders of the "Civilized. Free World" showing Saddam execution in full sequence- necrophiliacs' heaven!.
And people wonder why the world is becoming more and more violent!
Free Societies in Gated Communities? Self- imprisonment!! !
The wisdom of the advanced human is astounding. Guess what, thing can just get worse.
One thing for sure. Killings beget killings. With interest.
Friday's live broadcast was unusual because it was justice without borders and the perpetrators were not CHINESE; having said this – it is now open season. China has no voice, if a CHINESE commits a crime which involves a life in another country; it will be lethal…no repatriation.
Even though Naw Khan's case was mis-handled by Thein Sein's government and not fairly judged by chinese government, Thein Sein's government should learn from this scenario what they must do if CHINESE kills Burmese in Burma.
AND THE SAME IS TRUE IN BURMA as well, lest the Chinese forget!

GPS services, google maps, and mapquest still shows I520 ending at US 1 in North Augusta. It would be nice if they updated the maps to show that it has been completed linking back with I20 near US 25
Funny, I'll ask my daughter about this. She was downtown using her's the other day and she was on the phone with me. It kept telling her to turn right, turn right, turn right, she was going in circles!
Google maps still shows the Augusta Commons as a dirt pile..
el guapo.. hmm not too far off the mark there
Navigation gets lost at pleasant home rd and bobby jones. It tells you to turn right onto bobby jones but you need to turn left.
Let's face it. Augusta is the Bermuda Triangle of the Southeast. It's where you stick the hose to give the earth an enema.
When I get lost in Augusta I just look for one of the multi-thousand dollar visitor bureau signs to tell me I am in Augusta. Wait a minute, we only put them up for Masters, don't we.
You people do know you have to plug those things into the interwebs to update them right? They don't update themselves
Garmin 2010 NA map doesn't show Augusta State at all! Most of the RC public schools aren't listed or mapped out in the wrong location in this version. Examples: Spirit Creek Middle School: wrong spot. Glenn Hills schools: Wrong, etc. All the newest construction spots naturally will be out of whack. Heph-McBean at 25 is wrong and that was completed a couple of years ago.
Update mine weekly Jack. And Disss, They have the signs posted in locations like, Hwy 1 at the county line and 25 at the county line. When actually it isn't Augusta at all but the signs say "Welcome", you are there! Stupidity reigns supreme again.
Quail Hallow subdivision has some streets that aren't spelled correctly and the system cannot find the road at all. GPS or Web. I.E. Ptarmigan shows at Pointarmigan.
I know where this idea came from. Heh. Hire Randall Travel Marketing at a cost of tens of thousands dollars like Columbia County did and they will tell you to put up more signs. Guys, GPS is only as good as the map. You get one free update when you buy a unit usually, plus you can pay and get an updated map downloaded anytime you want. It makes sense most wouldn't have the I-20--BJ intersection yet.

Project Description
Ah, Yes, good old "I'm With Stupid." One of the great T-shirt slogans of all time. Brash, insulting, instantly memorable—truly, a slogan that had it all. Then again, it's SOOOO 20th century. Thus the question arises: Who will pen the first immortal T-shirt slogan of the 21st century? What smarty-pants prophet will straggle out of the wilderness with a dollop of pith for our yearning bosoms? Are you thinking, "UH…Me?" If so, we'd like to hear from you. We're the folks at What On Earth, Signals, and Wireless catalogs, and we sell T-shirts, among other things. It's more than a business with us, it's a calling. We won't rest until every American torso sports a message of hilarity, insouciance, ribaldry, wry philosophical brilliance, and/or sheer rockin', in-your-face 'tude. And we're looking for a few good Sloganeers to help us in our quest. If you're interested, send us a resume and 5 writing samples that demonstrate your wit, your style, your quippability and your uniquely skewed take on life. If we like your stuff, we'll pay you to brainstorm a batch of slogans. And who knows, you might just achieve a weird, anonymous, only-in-America kind of immortality.

Eupatorium plants provide late summer color, often blooming for months. These highly adaptable perennials are butterfly and hummingbird magnets, while deer avoid them!
Eupatorium, pronounced yew-pah-TOR-ee-um, and commonly known as Joe-Pye Weed, come in both large vertically growing and shorter dwarf varieties, either providing a splendid backdrop or blending well in a mixed perennial garden with other moisture-loving plants. They are also very important to male butterflies, as they feed from these plants...which in turn give them their pheromones...which in turn are used to attract females.
All of our Eupatorium Plants for sale are shipped with very well-established root systems. They ship according to our Spring Shipping schedule. We guarantee them to arrive alive and thriving.

Skip to comments.AMBROSE EVANS-PRITCHARD: Britain could face expulsion from EU under Prodi plan
Posted on 12/06/2002 11:45:54 AM PST by MadIvan
Britain could be expelled from the European Union if it refuses to accept a fully-fledged European government with powers to launch military or police actions on British soil, according to a draft constitution unveiled by Brussels yesterday.
Any government which accepted this would be immediately disposed of by the electorate - Ivan
The new proposals, secretly drawn up by Romano Prodi, the European Commission president, call for the total abolition of the national veto to prevent policy paralysis after the arrival of 10 new states in 2004.
Utter confusion reigned in Brussels yesterday after Mr Prodi astounded his own top lieutenants by unveiling the plans alongside a separate, less radical text approved by all 20 Commissioners, including Neil Kinnock and Chris Patten.
That document, entitled "Peace, Freedom, Solidarity", was the Commission's formal set of proposals for the Convention on the Future of Europe, which is drafting an EU constitution for an enlarged Europe of 25, 30 or even 35 states.
A federalist wish-list that will alarm Downing Street, it includes an EU foreign secretary operating from the Commission headquarters, a powerful European Parliament with a full say on all EU laws, and a Commission president elected by MEPs.
But the document pales beside the revolutionary 145-page text thrown into the mix by Mr Prodi.
Codenamed "Operation Penelope", it was drafted in total secrecy by a five-man cell under François Lamoureux, the former deputy chief of staff of Jacques Delors, the former Commission president. Mr Patten and Mr Kinnock were not told about it until late this week, and were said to be fuming at the attempt to slip through proposals for a fully-fledged European superstate, ostensibly under the Commission imprimatur, without their assent.
The text, billed as the "Constitution of the European Union", proposes abolishing the national veto in every area of policy including foreign policy, the setting of "European taxes", and future constitutional amendments. The only exception would be the admission of new member states.
A new "Secretary of the European Union" based at the European Commission headquarters would take charge of foreign policy, representing the EU at the United Nations in an attempt to turn the EU into a "world power".
It envisages a military alliance with a mutual defence guarantee along the lines of Nato's Article V, and able to "launch and conduct military operations" beyond its territory.
Brussels should have powers to intervene with force in the domestic affairs of member states in cases of "serious internal disturbances affecting the maintenance of law and order", as long as it was done in a spirit of "solidarity".
The Charter of Fundamental Rights, viewed by the Government as a serious threat to Britain's legal system, should be fully incorporated as a legally-binding text under the jurisdiction of a new "Supreme Court".
Those states "not able to accept the new constitutional system" would face expulsion from the Union under a "special status". The aim is to prevent a repetition of the first Irish referendum on the Nice Treaty, when one state was able to block advances towards greater integration.
The expelled state would be able to negotiate an agreement safeguarding its "existing arrangements" as an EU member, retaining trading privileges as an "associate country", along the lines of Norway. Once a country accepts the new arrangement, it could not leave the EU when it wishes.
A British official dismissed his proposals as preposterous. "It's patently not going to happen. No treaty changes can take place without the unanimous approval of all member states, and none are going to vote for their own expulsion. It's legally impossible."
But "Operation Penelope" has already thought of this. Recalcitrant countries would be "deemed to have left the Union" under an automatic trigger once five-sixths of the EU states agreed to the constitution.
The authors claim this is "in conformity with international law" since the expelled states would be in the position of having "declined to assert" their EU rights.
Mr Prodi said his secret text, which was released on the Commission website last night, was just a "simulation exercise" to help people understand what an EU constitution might look like. It had "no official status".
But EU diplomats suspected that a hard-core group of federalists around Mr Prodi was trying to force the pace. While they are unlikely to win many of their key demands, there are signs that the Convention is moving much further in the federalist direction than Britain had originally predicted.
Regards, Ivan
Best from Houston...
They create a "Growth and Stability" pact and couch it in huge rhetoric about how this is going to bring prosperity to Europe. The reality is that there is neither growth nor stability in most of the Euro zone.
The entire EU adventure is so disconnected from reality you have to wonder if it was made up by a bunch of French and German university students who got drunk together.
Regards, Ivan
Then, maybe we could scrap NAFTA and NATO and form a US/UK/Canada/Australia/NZ trade/defense bloc. Birds of a feather should flock together! We are natural allies, since we are all kin, after all.
They can't even agree on the size of the table to sit at to discuss what to do next.
I thoroughly agree an alliance of English speaking nations should be pursued in the aftermath. Let the Germans and French talk themselves to death.
Regards, Ivan
Your comment: "The entire EU adventure is so disconnected from reality you have to wonder if it was made up by a bunch of French and German university students who got drunk together" points me to this gem from Steyn:
"Youll recall Louis Michel, the Belgian foreign minister, insisting late last year that the European Rapid Reaction Force must declare itself operational without such a declaration being based on any true capability. As the Washington Post remarked, Apparently in Europe this works.
"Asked to set up an actual operational Rapid Reaction Force, most Nato members bristled: the cost would divert valuable resources from social programmes and might mean theyd have to cut back on welfare payments to Islamic terrorists."
Isn't this choice? Even the Washington Post marveled at the lunacy...
Hahaha - in the immortal words of Miss Shirley Bassey, "it's all just a little bit of history repeating". Who will be the British Robert E. Lee? ;)
No idea. I wonder if Mrs. Thatcher will go down as sort of being our John Calhoun, however. I certainly believe in "Nullification" in this instance.
Regards, Ivan
Having been a fervent Euro-Federalist, he can now say,
"Oops ... those crazy Euros have now gone too far ... never trusted the foreign bastards anyway! Besides they are no where near as tough as they ought to be on these Terrorists, which I and my bosom buddy, George Bush are busy fighting, so you ordinary yobbos better vote Labour for the rest of your lives, which are in my hands."
Thanks to OBL and these EU Wonks, this slippery little twit will use one cunnnig stunt after another to remain Prime Minister until I'm in the Happy Hunting Grounds ...dammit!
Anyway, you can tell your lefty neighbors - sorry, neighbours ;) - that this would mean the loss of a seat on the UN Security Council. Maybe that'll get 'em moving against this...
Yes, Tony Blair.
Anyway, you can tell your lefty neighbors - sorry, neighbours ;) - that this would mean the loss of a seat on the UN Security Council. Maybe that'll get 'em moving against this...
Many on the far left are opposed to the EU - Tony Benn, for example, as he feels that the EU is "too capitalist", of all things.
Regards, Ivan
Everyone should take a trip to Brussels and get a guided tour of the EU buildings if they can. You'll be amazed at the waste involved and the amount of sheer fantasy that is running through these bureaucrats' minds.
It is time to leave the EU - we've seen where it leads: inevitably to failure.
Regards, Ivan
"Operation Penelope." Very odd choice of a name. Penelope spent every night undoing the sewing she had done during the day. Does the title mean this project is intended to fail?
LOL. Well, take your allies where you can find them, I suppose ;)
If this happens do we get to call Britain Airstrip One?
Who decides when to invoke this little gem and what if the member state objects? Another European war?
I suppose "cell" is Ambrose Evans-Pritchard's word, but it is certainly well chosen. The central Euro-gov seems to work on Communist Party principles. There are no elections, they are responsible to nobody, and they arrive at their decisions in secret.
True, they have no substantial military, but they probably have enough tanks and guns to enforce policy on an unarmed, effete, and cowed civilian population, especially if they continue with a policy of divide and conquer. A socialist dictatorship could make hay in England if they used immigrant gangs in the kind of ways Hitler used the brownshirts or various youth groups.
I don't think so. Every time people have underestimated the English people, they've paid a terrible price for it.
Consistent majorities still want no more integration with Europe - if we could only convince our elites that what the people want actually happens to be right for the country. After all, that is what they are supposed to be doing - what is right.
Regards, Ivan
These days, the Leftists who run the EU are angling for two things: (1) superpower status to challenge, compete with, and as they see it contain the United States, and (2) to use EU and "world-level" pseudo-government agencies to force an end to nation states in favor of a true world government.
In the meantime, while the EU Leftists are playing their game of world Monopoly, they are ignoring a gathering threat of monumental proportions right in their midst and on their borders, radical Islamism. I am no fan of many of Tony Blair's policies, but I say a hearty thank God for his brave stand on terrorism and Iraq.
In any event, all of this crap is beyond the pale, and it's about time the British public woke up and put a stop to it.
I can't seem to recall it...

I knew this girl back in college who had the filthiest mouth of all time, but not when she was having sex, like outside of it. Yeah, she used words like "cock" and "cunt" and for some reason it turned me on. She also gargled on cum, had an oral fixation, and rarely wore panties. (Yes, as a whistle, bald as a whistle.) I wonder if you can see how she looks in your head, the way I can in my head. So we had this conversation one day when I asked her, "What's the best way to ask a woman to give you head?" I just could never figure it out.
"Suck my dick."
"Give me some head."
"Put your mouth here."
"Would you mind placing my penis in your mouth?"
"My cock wants to fuck your face."
I'm sorry, I really didn't know. Now for her she didn't care, and her point was she liked to suck it before it asked to be sucked. But she told me that probably the best out of those five was; "Give me some head."
But it got me to thinking about what to call a woman's vagina. For most men, a woman's vagina is the entire entity of her, so they say things like "let me eat you out." (I hope someone sees what I did there.) But unless you've got a pet name for it, no man really feels like going outside of the realm of "vagina". So I asked several women, "What do you call your vagina?" And then I got so many tired ass pet names it started to annoy me; Lil' [whatever her name is], HoHa, VJJ, Miss It, My Flower, Hello Kitty, etc. I have to admit Hello Kitty kind of was interesting because it reminded of those tiny tees they sell which are in girl's sizes, but they are in Spencer's (a store that also sells sex toys) which is downright confusing. I'm still confused as to whether those shirts are for girls or women. Although, I'm pretty sure that those tee shirts are similar to women with no hair on their "HoHa," how you look at it depends on how old she is, but it's appropriate at any age.
Point being, none of those words interested me.
It wasn't until I was at a group function and one of the young ladies was sitting there describing a story and she said it. She said what we had all been thinking, but had all been wondering if it would ever come out of a woman's mouth. Was it just a word for rough sex used to show ownership, almost like I was talking down to her? As she lead up to it, all the men stopped and stared, closed their mouths as though they were now reading her lips and didn't need to hear a thing. Her lips glossed, her words slow, yet intentional she said, "I call it, my pussy."
It moved me…
It sounded so perfect to me, such a turn on. It was nasty, but why was it nasty? It wasn't crass or tacky, it was perfect. I loved the way the word started and the way it ended. It was right after, "fuck me" and shortly before, "I don't have any panties on" as the two most favorite things I would like to hear whispered slowly in my ear with candor and purpose. It's one of those words that you can't rush, but you can't say it too long either. It has perfect rhyme and symmetry.
It's what you call it when we aren't around, and inside of every man there's a boy who stood on top of his boy's shoulders at the vent in the boys' locker room. He was trying to get inside the girls' locker room with every bone in his body. All he got was an obstructed view. Sort of like watching the adult channels that were scrambled; you could hear it perfectly and occasionally you saw a breast. When we hear that word it takes us to that excitement, almost as much as the first time we saw one. But this isn't the first one we saw, this is a mature, grown up, sexy one, it's your pussy.
So ladies, what do you call your pussy? And men what do you call your cocks? (I'm rather partial to the word cock myself, it's sounds nastier than dick). Do you judge people for what they call their private parts?
bag lady. digital nerd. beauty junkie. shoe whore. i'm a sucker for big words and box-fresh kicks. know a little bit about a lot of things and have something to say about everything.
The homie @_chunk_ is blessing us today with a Nasty Friday guest ...
So it's almost Thanksgiving and I'm taking a break for the ...
Last week we touched on a very hot topic around these parts - ...
You guys know I love men. I think they are vastly superior ...
Wait. There are women out there who are remiss in calling their pussy their "pussy"?
I didn't start calling mine pussy until I was in my thirties.
28…so yeah, also late…
Hmm I was under the impression most, if not all, men called it pussy. I only use the term pussy with my funny acting male friend. He likes to pretend to be a prude and I like to be vulgar with those types. I really don't have a name for it. When I do ever discuss it with anyone, which is extremely rare, I'd probably use a cultural term. But I do like using the term vagina and penis, just because its not really used anymore and the clinical element of it all just seems out of place within those types of conversations.
"He likes to pretend to be a prude and I like to be vulgar with those types."
I know im late but this ^^^^ GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! lol. ive been that way my entire life
Depends on why I'm talking about her…
Pussy has nasty connotations for me. Like I'd never tell my mother that I'm going to the Pussy Doctor for a checkup or a teen that she needs to get familiar with her pussy before she lets a man go poking around.
But if I'm talking nasty with my girls or a man that I have sexual interest in, pussy is appropriate.
Time and place. Although pussy is very "dirty" to me, so I def have to be in the right mind frame to say it without blushing.
We were taught the correct terminology for body parts and functions. So I grew up urinating from my urethra and when I said the word 'who ha' to my mom she was none to pleased. I'm grown. I do what I want. Majority of the time, it's my who ha…*shrug*
I'm growing more fond of "cock", but I believe "dick" will always be my favorite. No pause. Penis and vagina are very clinical and sterile. And if I'm in the vicinity of a grown man's dick, clinical and sterile (not to be confused with disease free, that's a GIVEN) are the last things I'm looking for.
i know some women who absolutely detest the word pussy. i'm partial to it myself. it just rolls off the tongue better (pun intended). i don't know many women who actually name their pussy. it would sound weird to me but i guess i could get used to it. i've never referred to my lingam as anything but my dick.
I once read somewhere that men who use the word pussy hate women.
whoever wrote that lied.
"I once read somewhere that men who use the word pussy hate women."
I bet that comment was not about when men are talking about lady parts but other uses of the word. Like using the word as a diss.
Um on this topic {Warning: obviously personal rant ahead!}, if your ex nicknamed your dick, do not go about calling your dick by this name and presenting it to the next girl as if it's just what you call it. I do not want to affectionately call your dick the North Shore because that's how you introduced him to me and later find out that he's named that because you and the ex that you are obviously-not now and will never be-over, named him that after you had sex for the first time on Hawai'i's North Shore. Ok? Name him yourself or leave HER nickname for HER and let me give him my own name that doesn't conjure memories of the one that got away and a lovely romp on the beaches of Hawai'i.
I don't wanna remind you of her every time I want some of your dick. Is this a confusing concept? Seems pretty obvious to me. *hmpf*
I feel like this comment came from the heart.
i feel the same way.
What kind of dumbass does that?!
Personally, I've not ever nicknamed a man's johnson. I have no desire to talk about it unless it's to describe exactly what I want from it…
I once lost it on a Mr. Max because I overheard some chick using the same code word for thronxing as we did. It was a completely random word so I knew it came from him.
I was like I don't mind that you're beating that but how can you use MY code word with her you tacky motherfucker?
YES! Is NOTHING sacred? #Dick
I actually had to think about that for a minute.
I don't ever my vagina my pussy. The men in my sexual life do. I like how it sounds better coming from them than from me.
My preferred non-clinical term would be "coochie".
Well I still like to say wee wee when refering to the peen and I have a cookie. Probably named so because I'm totally in love with cunnilingus.
Pussy is an erotic word! Like it turns me on. Pause. When I'm sexin my man n he whispers it n my ear.. Ughh..I usually call it "cooch" lol.. Coochie sounds hairy lol!! Idk??!
I like calling it pussy, or vagina in settings where I have to be appropriate. Anything else coming out of my mouth sounds awkward to me.
I'm from the South USA and I remember people calling a pussy a cock. I asked a friend if he remembered it and he said he did. He said at some point due to an influx of Northerners people stopped because they used the word cock for a penis. Anyone else remember that? I tried to research it on the net but didnt get far.
in the middle of getting hot and heavy, i told a dude i wanted to suck his cock. he proceeded to mock/tease me and said cock sounds white. um sir..you seem to have lost FOCUS on the action and not the word. -___-
but what that showed me is that 1 person can indeed change your trajectory of how you interact with future partners (while i probably shouldnt). what one person finds erotic and sexy, another may not.
i will say that when im typing on these internets, i now refer to the vagina as pink friday. moreso to be ironic. what i whisper, yell in bed, on the phone or via skype? whatever that person inspires.

"I'm glad it's over with because I felt like it was a long time coming," he said, flashing a relieved grin. "I'm excited that it's over with but I think I did well."
In fact, he did quite well. Packing 236 pounds on a 6-foot-1 and 7/10ths frame, his 4.72 and 4.73 clockings in the 40-yard dash edged out ex-Vol linebacker Nick Reveiz, who posted a pair of 4.74s.
"That's not what I wanted," Walker said of the 40 time, "but I think it's good enough. My goal was 4.6, somewhere in there, but I'm excited about it."
The Memphis native also posted a 9-6 broad jump, a 29.5-inch vertical jump and 17 repetitions of the 225-pound bench press.
"I feel like I did well," he said. "Everything that I can control, I think I did well."
The big question about Walker was never his athleticism but his ability to make the conversion to linebacker. He believes he answered that question to the satisfaction of the pro scouts on hand.
"I think I did. I think I came out and did linebacker drills well, showed I can drop and open my hips," he said. "I think that's what they wanted to see most. They knew I could do the D-end stuff, so they wanted to see the linebacker things, and I think I did well."
Several Tennessee defensive ends have made the switch to linebacker at the NFL level in recent years - Will Overstreet and Parys Haralson being two notable examples. Walker says NFL teams see him making the same transition.
"I'm hearing outside linebacker - either Sam 'backer in 4-3 or rush end in 3-4," he said. "That's what I've been getting myself ready for. That's kind of what I played here, so I'm getting myself ready for that transition."
Probably the biggest adjustment in going from end to linebacker is learning to drop into pass coverage. Walker believes he did exceptionally well in this area on Friday.
"With guys that are going to convert from D-end to linebacker, they want to see if you can open your hips, flip your hips and come downhill and all of that stuff," he said. "I think I did that well today.
"I did a little bit (of pass coverage) here, and I think I did well with it. They wanted to see how we opened up and how we came back to the ball, and I think I did well."
Ultimately, Walker was encouraged by his performance, beginning to end.
"I think I did well in every drill I had to do - the short shuttle and the others," he said. "I'm really excited about how I did on the linebacker drills. That's what they wanted to see most, and I feel like I did well."
Walker said he'll probably do individual workouts with several NFL teams in the weeks ahead, adding: "I'm going to stay around here, just in case they need me to come back and do some other stuff for them."

IT WAS 11:02 a.m. when the Sixers' new rookies walked into the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, but it seemed like one player was missing.
At 6-8 and 6-10, respectively, Jerami Grant and Dario Saric walked side-by-side, nearly hiding their new teammate. And when the players sat in front of the media, Pierre Jackson's face was finally visible, his 5-10, muscular frame hidden behind the giants he has become used to playing with.
His stature is diminutive. Tattoos cover his limbs and his fingers while blending with his black shirt, pants and sneakers. And when he finally spoke, his voice nearly matched his physique: small and quiet, his sentences nearly cracking before he could get the first words out clearly.
