TeddySanFran @ 21
This song puts kind of a lump in my throat.
It’s an Israeli “Smalltown Boy”.
Aah, The Lake shrunk! Nite, Sleepers!!!
virgins? where…?
Missed the debates (got back to discover that the girls had themselves a time while I was in Chicago) and would like to know what Obama said that was such a shocker.
TeddySanFran @ 30
I especially liked the music from West Wing.
hey spidey - nice sleeping weather we are having - love these cool nights
last blast from here — BigMitch, you have FB mail.
Good night all!
suzi…had to use the dog for a blanket last night…

Loo Hoo. @ 37
Obama did a good job of acquitting himself for a comment he made earlier in the week. He said that if there was actionable intelligence that Bin Laden was in Pakistan and Mushariff refused to cooperate, he would unilaterally “take him out.” You can imagine that this drew severe criticism. Tonight, on his home turf, he backpedaled quite gracefully, but managed to still sound tough. Hillary said that “it’s great to think big, but when you are running for President, not everything you think ought to be spoken.” This drew boos. Dodd, he did very well in the debate also took Obama on.
I notice the boys in this vdeo have no grunge on them at all…is it airbrushed off?
spiderpaws @ 33
Miz paws….what’s the business tonight?
Suzanne @ 42
Hmmm… Body heat is the best source of BTU’s!!! ;-)
spiderpaws @ 33
I’m out, this Lite Weight Late Niter is turning it over to the Late Late Niters.
{{{{MWAH!}}}}
Thanks, Big Mitch. I see MSNBC has the whole debate up now. I’ll have to watch tomorrow.
I kept expecting to see Suzanne dive into that pool, but no…
What kind of business.
Nite, LL & WDN!!!
in my humble opinion Hillary is quite correct. You just offend everybody one way or another…the Clintons seemed to always do what needed to be done even in the face of much opposition from the senate and house…takes courage to keep your mouth shut. highly underrated. Let me remind you of one astrologers prediction that OBama could be president if he didn’t shoot himself in the foot talking out loud what was best left unsaid.
I just saw Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson at a book signing for Sandworms of Dune Kevin said something about Bin Lauden “might be the dark side of Paul Atreides” Brian compared the Emperor sending his troops against Paul to our invasion of Afghanistan the comparisons should not be taken out of context but they are interesting.
Hi Teddy… and Patrick…
The Utah mine - heard that it was not an earthquake but the mine collapse that was measured. That the miners did not speak English and the Mexican consulate was notified. That there was over 200 safety violations in the last two years. Also heavy Repug donor.
Figures….. he does not want to have the families or the fact that he was probably hiring undocumented workers seen in the TeeVee.
Alright, gang. Hash browns beckon.
Have a good night.
TRex @ 55
G’Nite, TRex!!!
g’nite TRex
good nite to brave TRex who came back from chicago with all his tails
goodnight TRex, enjoy the hashbrowns.
we are now fans of this Israeli singer in our house. thanks!
katymine @ 54
That, and the Reverse Mining!!!
Smash a poached egg on them, TRex.
(puff puff) had to move the car - they are paving my street tomorrow…
nite, TRex…
did I miss anything?
What is reverse mining, please?
BigMitch @ 63
That’s where you put coal back in the ground.
Watching debates again.
Kucinich kicks ass. He really does.
they cause an avalanche on purpose and everybody just gets out of the way… finding coal ya know
The Dems in the debate were all at least good.
The weakest Dem (Biden, I think) is infinitely better than the best Republican (which, well, is none of them…)
Trex, I have a bit of info/gossip re: your senator now up. Beneath you if you go with major polit.aspirations, but possibly useful to know..
I spect you can get my e-mail if interested.
Ok… I am going to put my sick body to bed… Nite all …
g’ night, katymine = hope you feel better…
BigMitch @ 63
you dig a tunnel mine it then you collapse the roof by blowing it up and then mine the material broken by the blast and the fall which I think would be easier than mining solid rock. The blast this time collapsed the “cough ” safe area where the miners were at trapping them.
spiderpaws… what’s the latest on Edwards?
So when you we go after the dem cowards in the house and senate? I already called Diane Feinstein’s office this afternoon to say my piece.
katymine @ 69
nite katymine
Anybody see Ed*uard Teller this evening?
BigMitch @ 75
I don’t think so, Big…
katymine, warm positive healing thoughts headed your way
big mitch, i haven’t seen him in the 2 and 1/2 hours i’ve been here.
BigMitch @ 63
IIRC, it’s where they set the charges to rattle the coal down from prior excavations of the coal seams! Similar to the recharging of former oil wells with the slurry remnants!
From the Huffington Post:
In the weeks following the Sago mine disaster in West Virginia in 2006, the owner of the Utah mine where six workers remained trapped underground Tuesday called state efforts to pass stricter mine safety laws “seriously flawed, knee-jerk” reactions.
“I resent these politicians playing politics with my employees’ safety,” Robert E. Murray told the Columbus Dispatch in January 2006.
Murray was responding to a proposal in the Ohio legislature that would have created a mining emergency operations center and required workers to wear wireless communications devices.
Similar legislation was introduced and passed in the West Virginia legislature during a single day.
Ohio lawmakers eventually passed a less stringent mine safety package.
Six workers have been trapped since Monday in the Crandall Canyon mine owned by Murray Energy Corporation.
According to government records, federal mine safety regulators have levied $260,073 in fines against the mine since 1995. The mine has received 32 citations since the beginning of 2007.
A spokesman for Murray Energy defended the company’s safety record Tuesday.
“That number of violations does not suggest in any way that we are an unsafe operation,” said Rob Moore, a Murray Energy vice president. “We are one of the safest mining operations in the country.”
Murray told the Associated Press Tuesday, “I believe we run a very safe coal mine. We’ve had an excellent record.”
In 2003 another Murray-owned mining company, KenAmerican Resources, and four of its top employees, were convicted by a federal court in Kentucky of conspiring to violate federal mine-safety rules.
A judge later threw out part of the verdict, but upheld one single count of conspiring to violate safety laws against both the company and a mine superintendent.
A spokesman for the United Mineworkers of America said Murray’s vocal opposition in 2006 to the proposed safety laws in Ohio was typical of his “volatile” personality.
spiderpaws @ 73
I have a letter from Reid and one from the DNC asking for money. I’ll be sure to let them know why they’re not getting any.
Hope you feel better tomorrow, Katymine.
I need one solid reason why I should not cut off my babyfine waist length hair to a very very short do please.
Suzanne @ 82
Rita Hayworth…
Suzanne @ 82
sorry - I got nothin’…
Suzanne @ 82
Need pictures to answer definitively. But almost all women look better in long hair.
newtonusr @ 83
that’s not a reason - that’s a memory
It would take a long time to grow it back, Suz. But it would be easier to manage short.
Coming up from the dives would be much easier!
BigMitch @ 85
even older women?
I’m wondering if Bush progovernment anti safty polices created an enviroment where miners for example felt they could skimp on safty for greater profit knowing that unless they killed someone they would never get prosecuted.
Suzanne @ 82
My Wife has cut her gorgeous hair only twice, since I’ve married her, both times it was to contribute her locks to the ACA’s wig program for the cancer patients! The only reason I allowed it…!!! 8-)
BigMitch @ 85
I agree but thats just a guys opinion
CTuttle @ 90
Your wife rocks, dude!
Suzanne @ 88
especially older women.
things come undone @ 89
i’m not wondering.
things come undone @ 89
Well, one of his major pushes since he began campaigning is limits on lawsuits and getting rid of class action suits. That definetely suggests to business owners that he is with them. What law firm is going to take on a class action for peanuts?
Wee bit o’history: remember the marriage from hell to the repub fundie - he had an honest to goodness rule that i was not allowed to cut my hair more than a 1/4″ trim - yeah, seriously.
so the minute i found out about his affair with my next door neighbor, who attended the same fundie church we did, well, i called my hairdresser and said cut it all off.
and did. very very short. he couldn’t say a fucking word but his jaw muscle was a’twitching at a frantic pace.
and since then, it has taken almost 15 years to get this long and i’m sick and tired of wearing it up in a bun. i can’t stand having hair on my face and wrapped around my neck while sleeping so it is up all the time.
i think i’ve proven my point that i can grow it long if i wanted.
Some predict Edwards will drop out suddenly due to some information he receives…it looks to me as if he will be in it to the end and it’s anybody’s guess how it will come off. If Obama does shoot himself in the foot by what he says and drops in the pols (he very well could under continuing pressure of campaigning and senate duty, mouthing off is his one flaw according to some) it would be Edwards and Hillary and then…she would ask him to join her on the ticket. He would feel he could get furthur that way this time around.
He should be nominated. he is the best person and we would all get health care immediately. His concern and championing of health care is real and shows in his chart.
The best charts for luck are Gore and Obama…after that Hillary and Edwards. Edwards chart shows sometimes he does not care a hoot about being president. Just really ambivilent.
CT - you allowed it?
newtonusr @ 92
True, I think I’ll keep her around!!! (Body Heat, ya know!) *g*
BigMitch @ 65
I just finished watching the whole debate uninterrupted. I thought it was the best dabate so far and KO handled a quick pace very well.
Kucinich speaks for me and just gets better, he has my vote.
That said, Barack lost that debate tonight, hands down. He cannot get a truthy bias in his head re all things middle east.. I never thought I would say this about someone who voted correctly on the AUMF but Barack doesn’t get it and the flaws are dangerous, imo.
Wouldn’t it have been great if Hillary and Barack (aka DLC candidates) were not on that stage at all this evening.. Imagine how much more substance and calls for accountability we would all see and hear.
Edwards did very well and Dodd should move up as well.
Suzanne @ 82
Long hair keeps your ears warm in winter but, then again, so does a wooly hat.
Suzanne @ 98
I was waiting for a reaction to that, quietly, in my gay little corner over here….
spiderpaws @ 52
can this be said for whistleblowers? defectors?
Even if Obama did bluster re: Pak,
imho, the booing that HRC got has to do with balance.
People want sunshine & free speech.
Suzanne @ 98
:P!!!
Eureka Springs @ 100
Correction: Obama did not vote correctly on the AUMF; he was not in the Senate yet.
CTuttle @ 99
Your wife sounds like quite a woman. She allows you to think you “allow” her to cut her hair.
CTuttle @ 104
seriously, read what i wrote again and then rethink my question ct
Since you wear it in a bun all the time I see no reason why you shouldn’t cut it off Suzanne…however, you need a good cutter, not a hack (job)
TeddySanFran @ 94
We need to tie this to the bridge collapse that and do we really trust a Cheney Government to build safe Nuclear plants if they can’t rebuild New Orleans, fix bridges before they collapse, and now 2 ? mining disasters.
Bush has proven that his Government at least ” IS the problem” as President Reagen said.
BigMitch @ 106
Damn it, Why do you always have to rain on my parade, Eh??? *g*
Suzanne, my beloved has waist-length mahogany hair with waves, just gorgeous. If she cut it, I’d cry. I’d still adore her, but I’d cry.
Do what you wish with your hair, of course, but long, gorgeous hair is #1 sexy in my book.
Suzanne @ 82
Because you will miss it more than you know and it’s a drag talking yourself into letting it grow back.. Also you have made it through half or more of the summer heat…it’s all downhill now, fall is just around the corner.
Also getting haircuts all the time su**s.
Most of all because long hair looks great and feels good.
Suzanne @ 98
Well yeah … the husband is still Lord & Master in many homes, Suz !!!
… tee hee hee … that comment oughta make your hair burn right off …
things come undone @ 89
Actually, this goes back to the Reagan years. It’s a combination of deregulation and underfunding oversight.
Before Reagan took office, there were about 50 federal mine inspectors in Kentucky (it’s a big mining state and there’s a high incidence of illegal mining–unregistered seams opened up on weekends with contract labor, etc.), and after Reagan was elected, that number was reduced to two, along with some changes in regulation that encouraged “voluntary compliance.”
If this asshole in Utah had 118 citations for dangerous conditions in just a few years–in the current regulatory environment–in earlier years, he probably would have been closed down, and promptly. It means that every time a mine inspector was able (likely infrequently) to visit his operation, something awful was found.
