wow, I’ll take Lew

hey spidey

..or rather Lou

hey suzi, just sneaking in for a minute

Hi Suzanne

i found it a very tough choice, spidey. looks like its just you and me right now - everyone must be still watching the videos

hey neuro

Hey Suzanne!

Lour Rawls for depth, Fresh Cream for, uh, for, uh, for reminding me of the night after the day I got out of the Army?

well I can see why you put them both up

Cream.
wow

hey tex and ET

Oh, Cream
Can’t get much better than this…

ET, did you get the thank you note downstairs?

hey christine… that cream blew me away but dayam, lou brings something to the song that i had not heard before.

Very cool, Suz!

Cream. Love Lou’s voice, but this isn’t even a close call. If only Cream could find a decent geetar playuh…….

hey alicia. speaking of cool, when’s your book publishing again - March?

My brother pulled me out of the “British Invasion” to see bands like this. He was a drummer.

If anyone missed David Sirota’s smackdown of Lawrence O’Donnell for trashing John Edward, it’s a very good read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....81400.html

night all! gonna try to catch a bit of shut eye… but before i go an update. hugh is up to 304 on his list and i just did a word count (i have no idea why - but actually microsoft did the counting) and he’s written almost 61000 words.

I like Lou… but it is definitely CREAM for me!!
Here is something for the wingnuts out there

http://users.telenet.be/leukelinks/flash/queen.htm

Suz,
I do love him too.

g’nite selise
304? dang, it seems like just yesterday it hit 300

nite selise

Since Slowhand, it’s always been Clapton. That man can reach right in and grab my guts. The Lou Rawls version is too up tempo for me, but really it isn’t even fair to put the two up against each other. Not stylistically equal.

That’s what they tell me…:-) I’ll be meeting my publisher face-to-face for the first time at the end of this month.

G’nite Selise. I wish you lots of sleep.

suz, i could listen to this all night. eric in real form.

Bloody hell, selise!

That’s well over novella size. He needs to publish that offically. It would really be something. And a bit of a shocker to see just how big a paperback that would make.

spew!

I’m spoiled by the excesses of my whim’s-ability

I simply, want it all

;)

…..do I really have to choose?

Just to let Y’all know that January 22nd is national call in day for the horses. We have managed to close the slaughter houses in the US but now they are trucking the wild mustangs over the border in crammed trucks to Mexico to a gruesome death there. If everyone makes a call to their senator and representative between now and the 22nd and let them know we want to pass HR 503 & S 311, we can make it illegal to pack horses into trailers and send them to Mexico or Canada to become steaks or sushi (yes, sushi…the Japanese find it quite delicious and pay top dollar).
Leave ‘em on the range, wild, where they belong.
Thanks. I KNOW you all will make the calls. Please.

newton, the he is all over the utubes - i found a clip with him and pavarotti (iirc)

do you know any publishers or editors?

alicia does - she’s gonna have her book published in March.

Come on Suz I sure have had to deal with your share of those!!
But they really are c-babies

is that fiction or nonfiction?

I wish i did! I wonder if Jane and the rest might have an idea. They got Marcy’s book published after all. That list alone is an epic undertaking. Hugh’s been at it how long now? WITH all those added details on top of it. I remember when he started that list–then it got way too big to confine to comments…

will do, spidey. there was an article in the latimes this weekend (or was it the nytimes) about how the drought is affecting the horses and how so many are being sold now, for as low as $10. made me sick inside.

he’s had it on line since april 9th. and he still has over 370 days to go.

I will.

from her blog, it sounds like it is non-fiction.

Some of my friends have noticed that I have not been posting as much as I used to. Well, there’s a good reason - I’m writing a book! It is called “The Price of Right” and it is about why we can’t afford conservatism if we want a democracy. It’s being published by Sterling and Ross and it’s slated to be out in March of 2008.

love to say and talk all night with you all.. but got try for sleep. night again.

When Edwards gets in, I hope the first thing he does is lower the price of a gallon of gas. I can’t believe I paid $2.79 for one dozen eggs the other day.

crap, forgot to include that this was in response to selise at 39

he’s had it on line since april 9th. and he still has over 370 days to go.

And assuming that ChimpCo isn’t able to destroy every single piece of paper, the scandals will continue to mount for looooong after they are gone.

sleep well selise

Time for snack.

Gee when did that ass @ the FCC change the rules ab media ownership??
Well Diane our esteemed senator from California finally answered my e-mail… I don’t what she has proposed will change any thing:0)

Dear Mr. :

Thank you writing about changes to media ownership rules. I appreciate hearing from you.

Ya right!!

The effects of allowing a smaller number of companies a larger share of the media market concerns me. Any loosening of media ownership rules could seriously impact both the structure of the media sector and the relative negotiating power of individual companies. I am concerned that deregulation will put more power into the hands of media conglomerates, which could lead to neglect of local programming, eliminate competition, and reduce diversity of programming in the broadcast industry.

I have introduced legislation with Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) which would force the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to postpone any changes to media ownership rules until it takes steps to promote the broadcast and carriage of local programming by broadcasters, and to increase independent women and minority ownership representation. It would also require the FCC to wait at least 90 days before voting on a proposed rule change and to provide at least 60 days for public comment on it.

Please know I pay close attention to all proposed changes to media ownership rules and I will do what I can to ensure a competitive, pro-consumer marketplace. If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call my Washington, D.C. staff at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.

Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator

P.S. The Russian soldier who placed the Communist flag over the Reichstag in 1945 has died.

Late, late nite gives me an opportunity to let the day’s stress evaporate, and NO Chris Matthews. Right?

FWIW, gas prices around the world as of six months ago: http://europe.theoildrum.com/node/2653

oooow, kewl cake tex. surreal even

Dali cake!

great video here…

The original dreamgirl, Jennifer Holliday, singing “And I am telling you, I’m not going” at the Imperial Theatre in 1980 something. Dedicated to John Edwards.

Q - Which came first; the chicken or the egg?

A - The chicken; it could walk.

:-D

I saw a movie on a late-nite flipthrough and even though it was only a coupl’o years old, the gas price in the background was about $1.35….wha’the hell happened to us?

Of course Daling!

You seen exxon’s profits for last year??

Hey isn’t that from The TWILIGHT ZONE???

I can’t link youtubes but google it over there. It’s worth it for sure. Good night all!

My po’ widdle waptop doesn’t like You Tubes in posts on blogs for some reason.
It freezes up on them and says ‘Reading You Tube’.
There are two ways I have found to get around this.
I can either hard refresh and scroll like mad and hope it goes by,
or when it freezes, sometimes I can scroll the wheel on the mouse several times, then go up and hit my bookmarks link and it will jump past them. once I get to text it’s fine.
If I want to watch them, then it’s option number one.

Heh, heh

Nope, that’s tomorrow night :)

I learned how to link earlier but I still can’t link youtubes. It is so sad to get old.

g’nite ccmask

I did want to say thanks, again, to every one who stopped by my buddies place, you guy’s are pretty cool.

Here’s one for all my lovely new lakeside (((friends))).

Guess I am dating myself but….. my dad owned a Gulf gas station for a few years and the the price was TWENTY FIVE CENTS a gallon…like I said I am dating myself…. guess what year.

its pretty easy. copy the url, paste it in the submit comment section.

that’s the easy, non embedded way :)

i remember buying gas at 19 cents a gallon.

Naw,…I kept getting too conflicted for not exploiting the system for personal gain. Other than than that possiblr profit motive, the whole yjing makes me ill to follow any more.

…lay the bad news out there for us.

;-)

What’s the price of gas got to do with autoeroticism?

I saw a movie on a late-nite flipthrough and even though it was only a coupl’o years old, the gas price in the background was about $1.35….wha’the hell happened to us?

It’s called the Hubbert peak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil

Thanks Suzanne. I did it!

ohmystars, that worked ccmask, and i LOVE that video. saw it back when i was on dialup and it was worth the load time (several hours)

Do you mean going to watch the submarine races at the beach??

ouch!…lol…me too.

that was always more fun than cow-tipping.

Mo’ Betta. Thanks for the link. I forgot how great the original was.

my guess would be somewhere around 1964-69

…just a guess

I hated it when I was the gullible one that said ’sure…I’ll catch it’ when we we were out cow tipping.

Gotta admit cow tipping was never up my alley besides where I was living there were no cows in sight.
Suz did you get the reply this afternoon I sent you?

IIRC, the last time I bought gasoline for 20 cents per gallon was in early 1968.

not even warm

i did.. been busy today and then took a nap before late nite posted

Dam I was in Germany in 68 and we had gas stamps… had to go to ESSO only, we were getting them for 10 cents a gallon at the px…

well, then…what’s the right answer?

I was hoping for a prize, but enlightenment works

:-D

Can’t says I blame you for taking a nap with all waxing you had to get done….

25 cents a gallon - i guess 71

If’n any of us gets tired of tweaking Tweety and ordnancing O’Donnell, we can always find a home for self-flagellation at the Association For the Study of Peak Oil. These guys are redefining “killjoy”. Much to my heartfelt appreciation.

Another excellent energy related blog is the Energy Bulletin.

I never thought I’d live long enough to see this headline:

General Motors embraces electrics as oil slips away..Joshua Dowling, The Age
The world’s biggest car maker, General Motors, believes the global oil supply has peaked and a switch to electric cars is inevitable. Published January 14, 2008.

Back from my day serving the corporate overlords. Blech. I’ve got a pitcher of French Martini’s if anyone would like some.

1959?

That was in 1953 prices were high because they were ythe only station for 20 miles…. but three more stations were put in and the price got so low my dad sold it to his brother, funny thing is the building was still there when I went back last March. He went back to work as a machinist..

what a difference the ‘embargo’ made…huh?

I remember working in a new (at that time) self serve station in the 70s and the price went up so fast, the pumps were never capable of pricing over $1.00 a gallon. There was some simple-minded, double the half price at the pump system that caused all kinds of grief and …lol…altercations.

Good night friends.

A question for all our armchair activists…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9Gjd_EAa64

what makes em french?

I remember high school in 1970, gas for a full tank for my VW was $3.50.

Nite, TexBetsy. Sleep well and long.

I paid $.13.9 at a gas station grand opening in 1965. At that time a McDonalds burger coast $.11, and a cheeseburge cost $.15.

g’nite tex and pain free sleep wishes

Would love one. Can handle only one, though.

The chambord I guess. It’s Chambord, vodka and pineapple juice.

Well here is another one… my introduction to the Beatles on AM radio

Here ya go!

For anyone interested in energy markets and technology, the place to go is http://theoildrum.com/

i love chambord - a splash or two in a glass of champagne, or over ice cream (which is more than a splash or two)

Wowza! Didn’t find that in France in 1978.

….and I’ll bet that sucker would run forever on that little bit of cash

:-D

g’night Betsy

We used to go sled riding on our old back WV roads with a spare VW we ‘found’ in someone’s yard. …life was so much simpler then…and so were we.

Nite betsy sleep well

Christine,
We got snow today and it’s supposed to snow all week. How is it in your area?

And this one is what we were praying for week ago Friday here in the bay area
