Hiya all — ES, LL, Suz…

Aloha, LL! How’s Virginy, tonite?

Is Kate Nash a new recording artist?

tw3k, there is no rss feed for the news

And CT, oops! Sorry, love..,

Eureka, I’d never heard of Kate Nash until now — I like her sound very much. Thanks for this!

Aloha CT! Really quiet here tonight, how are things in the isles?

tw3k, was this the article you were looking for?

Hey Chris :-)

Evening ES.

The youtube says the vid is no longer available.

Suzanne left you some pics on the previous thread.

Kate Nash

q thanks - and i got the video to work fine - were you viewing it via this page or did you click out?

yup! thanks, my browser is poky.

Refreshed, works now.

Hey! LL
What a day or two…terrible ice storm yesterday. I walked home from the polls step by step.

Hi. Anyone see this from TPM? Looks like it was the Clinton campaign accusing the Obama campaign for what the HC campaign had done on the NAFTA story.

“The Canadian Prime Minister’s chief of staff has reportedly been fingered as the source of NAFTA-gate. And it turns out he focused mainly on Hillary Clinton’s campaign as being all about rhetoric on opposing free trade.”

Chris, we got rain here after you got your ice storm — torrential, like a monsoon here at times last night.

q - those are lovely eye candies you left for me - thank you

No worries, M’dear! *g* Nice clear evening here in the Isles, LL!

Thanks, did it when the sun was coming out, late afternoon. Record snow fall this winter, just beautiful.

Hello all. I got caught up in the end of a documentary about Henri Cartier-Bresson.. one of my favorites.

The youtube is working on my page.

Mr. CE dropped me at the polling place. I walked home in a bower of ice — couldn’t believe it! My umbrella had a cover of ice that shattered like glass breaking. Today, four inches of snow NOT plowed by 8:45. I have to move to a better climate.

Eureka!
I think we had a few refresh issues. Worked for me.

Please adopt me…

Chris, you folks who live in the snow belts around the country definitely have my sympathy this winter; it’s been so rough for you all. Hopefully spring is just around the corner.

Lovely song ES.

Pascale Picard just popped up on the Québec scene. Sings in english, wich pisses off a lot of francophones. I think she’s wildly good.

Smilin

howdy late night pups!

i don’t see fisa on the house schedule tomorrow (and i didn’t see any emergency meeting of the house rules committee on fisa)… so if nothing happens tomorrow today thursday, i think it would be unlikely on friday. and that means we may have gotten another week to push on our reps!

ES — Henri Cartier-Bresson - greatest French photographer, with Lartigue and Atget.

most excellent news, selise. thanks so much for letting us know

Hi Chris, LL, ES, Suz, everyone.

selise, have you picked up any scuttlebutt why its being pushed back on the calendar?

What a winter. Monday: 66 degrees!! Yea spring! Today: 19 and snow - bleergh.

no. but then i don’t have connections…

*sigh* I love old B&W masters.
Did you see this in late nite thread?

1888 Photo Depicts Helen Keller, Teacher

Hey Margot :-)

Christine, where are you?

Hey Margot — sent greetings late last thread. Thought maybe you were gone for the evening. Trying to play catch-up for time away.

margot, ChrisE, have all the national press types left and have ya stopped cringing when the phone rings?

selise, neither do i - is why i was asking :)

i’m hoping it’s because they don’t have the votes to give cheney what he wants.

hey! just because i’m a cynic that doesn’t mean i can’t dream. ;-)

Snowy Cleveland Heights. Work: Cleveland Museum of Art. Hiya Quebecois!

My congress critter sent mer a letter stating her opposition to immunity for the telcos

From Anna Eshoo:

I oppose retroactive immunity for telecommunications carriers because I think it would be grossly irresponsible for Congress to grant blanket immunity for companies without even knowing whether their conduct was legal or not. Retroactive immunity would also give little incentive for telecommunications carriers to follow the law.

The underlying premise of FISA is that all domestic surveillance of American citizens must comport with the Fourth Amendment and that purely foreign intelligence is largely beyond the reach of U.S. law. When American intelligence and law enforcement need to investigate foreign targets operating within our country, FISA recognizes that judicial oversight is necessary in order to protect the Constitutional rights of Americans.

nahant, we have the same congresscritter - anna is great.

*waving to Suz* I hope you all had a great time at the latest meet-up! Have not been able to hang out here much this week, working some crazy hours through Friday and then back to my semi-normal schedule.

Chris, be careful! I’m making really good use of some old roofing shingles as a path out to my car. I should just tie them to my feet like Darling Clementine. ;)

Very nice Thank you.

I like her spunk… she acts like she actually cares about the constitution

woo hoo! excellent.

been a busy week for me too (laughing) teddy should have the pictures up any day now.

she’s taken the progressive position on each major issue (based on my memory so add a few grains of salt)

i have really been impressed with her

did egregarious make it to your meet up?

Now that is a mind picture that makes me laugh like crazy. I, too, have no path to the car that is without snow. I shuffle like an old person, and drag all my bags. WHY, WHY can’t I have a real driveway?

Good, Suz, can’t wait to see them.

Once upon a time I loved working the swing shift — but now? Not so much. I guess I have that “day dude” thing going on now.

Eureka Springs,

Are you representing yourself geographically? Are you the Arkansas Eureka Springs, or the California Eureka Springs?

Oh… never mind.

I’m writing about this:

my first instinct and post these gems right away if we are going to stay on the tip

I’ve known tips, a good one was UNPH in 2000. (Oh… never mind.) A bad one is here.

I’m wondering if anyone here knows about solar energy companies we can speculate on right now so that we can become rich? I looked into viable solar energy companies associated with Silicon Valley and they aren’t offering opportunities to the public. However, PBS’s “Nightly Business Report” is starting to highlight stocks that almost any fool will understand are meant to be run up a flagpole before the foolish public is decimated once again as they lose their money on a bad suggestion from a malevolent crew.

Shall we discuss how to get obscenely rich by speculating on alternative energy? Wouldn’t that be more fun than navel-gazing whether Hillary is an innie or an outie?

You be the judge.

Chris, I’m sorry, I did see it but got distracted.
Suz, yes they are gone. It’s very quiet and peaceful now.

she sure did…

Wow, what mice surroundings, looked it up on google earth.

Hello Christine!

We had snow on Monday and are expecting more for the next few days.. I am low on firewood and it’s way to muddy to haul more wood in now. This could get interesting.

It is a shame I’m up so late — MR. CE is flying to UK and I’m just enjoying the quiet without tv on.

we are hitting the high 60’s in the day but still getting down into the 30’s at nite. not quite spring here yet.

Interestingly, my mom is jumping through the hurdles to establish an Adult Care center, with my wife and I providing 24/7 care,… My mom is an RN and a Doc, however, not MD… Public Health Policy at NAU… She’s gonna reverse mortgage her home…! 8-)

My nest egg is gone…! ;-)

Hiya Quebecois,
We are in a huge building campaign now, until 2012. Galleries are opening up starting late June, 2008. Please visit! I’m a reference librarian.

Nice, not mice…

Eureka, glad you liked it, been wanting to share that one for a while.

I am in Arkansas now, but Eureka CA is one of my other favorite areas. I almost sailed from Eureka to Alaska several years back but the boat had problems. It may still be in the Eureka harbor now. 65 foot monster..be warned! *g*

Good night everyone, and thanks ES for the lovely video :-)

*sigh* Aloha, LL!

g’nite LL

Ray check out this company: http://www.nanosolar.com/
I don’t know if you can invest in them, but their technology is great innovative and has many possibilities.

JEALOUS!!!

for sale

I just spent 9 days with my parents near Philly. My mother will need adult care, which is not yet built in their facility. The adult condos are great, but not yet perfect. I’m holding your hand, CT.

JEALOUS!!!

I’ll second that emotion…! *g*

i’ll let you know when i win the lottery. :)

Nite, LL,
Write me!

Nite LL, hugs.

and if i win, i’ll let ya know it is off the market :)

U.S. defense officials on Wednesday said they did not consider the Russian bomber flight a threat or concern.

So why don’t these militarist frauds retire then?

“Defense” is completely so Orwellian a term it is hard to comprehend how vulnerable the American people are to having their pockets picked by superfluous fearmongers selling snake oil to a vexatiously ignorant populace.

Who should the American public defend themselves against? Clearly the present danger is a handful of rapacious Republican reptiles resplendent with rapier-won baubles, such as cost-plus Eric Prince contracts destroying the American treasury… and fabulous and anti-fabian fortunes being won by the dick-headed dickwads who run Exxon, BP, Shell and of course, the Saudis.

America is engaged in a class war, and it is fighting for the enemy. What a bunch of dimwits Americans are.

lol.

gotta buy a ticket first.

Interesting…but fully expected. After all, PM Steve Harper is a Conservative who fully supports NAFTA. Why would he authorize the leak of something that would actually HURT someone that he would want to have as a negotiating partner. The leak itself, and its timing, was the “tell” on this. They were going to bring down Obama before he had a chance to respond. Give the report enough time to go viral, but not enough time to have the sourcing and other facts to be exposed.

But Pennsyltucky isn’t exactly an area that is unafflicted by industrial job-losses. So if this gets out there it may have some resonance.

but their technology is great innovative and has many possibilities

On the product page, they say they’re sold out for the next twelve months. Looks like a winner.

hey!

who you calling a dimwit?

Amen, brother Ray, Sing it!

Europe is providing more government support for their alternative energy companies than we are also even if a Dem wins it will take time for new laws to be passed supporting these companies.
Plus many European companies have factories here. German solar companies are good. But Wind power produces more power at a cheaper cost the best pure play in wind is Vestas Wind Systems from Denmark. Sure GE is bigger and American but its so big that wind can’t raise the companies profits up much.
China and India have the most potential for growth and are trying to catch up with the tech. But their stock markets are real high I would set money aside in gold or a foreign currency and buy after another worldwide market crash.
Vestas is the only thing I would recommend right now.

Not for my mom, she’s probably in better shape than I, shhh… No, Two avenues, rehabilitate an existing home, I rent, or, build one… The State is desperate for long term care outside of a hospital setting, $3500 per patient as opposed to $10-15,000… I’m game and my wife is a CNA…

I thought Hillary said his name was Medvedova…(which means “Little Bear Bitch”…or Sow)…I’m sure he was happy to hear his name mashed up that way.

Haven’t the Russkies been doing this sort of buzzing of US naval operations for about a year now?

Haven’t the Russkies been doing this sort of buzzing of US naval operations for about a year now?

They were doing it in the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties…

Nahant,

You know, you’re going to have to get up a hell of a lot earlier in the afternoon if you are going to get ahead of my on the aristocracy learning curve.

Let’s start a class war, shall we?

LOOK, LOOK at HOW ORWELLIAN THIS HAS BECOME:

If you Google “Marxist.org” you get this fraudulent website:

http://www.marxist.org/

This is silly pabulum.

If you use the plural, you get:

http://www.marxists.org/

This is useful.

Take a look at this astonishing article. This is V.I. Lenin talking about the futility of an aristocracy fighting a foreign war. You will immediately understand how this resonates today:

http://marxists.org/archive/le...../china.htm

This is an essay on the nature of imperialism. You will immediately recognize George Bush as Czar Alexander and the invasion of China as the invasion of Iraq.

Or, maybe you won’t. If you are a loyal Hillary fan.

Sorry,CT, what is CNA?

Time for some shut eye.

Nightnightall.

Its not traded yet publicly set up a Google alert to find out when it goes public and or talk to your broker about buying after it becomes public.
The tech is interesting and the buzz around this stock is great.

Hey, they’re re-airing the Pete Seeger montage on PBS here…!

Hey Q,

Certified Nurse’s Aide… She’s tended to many Hospice patients…!

Yeah…but they’re our allies now ;-) I read one report that the Chinese have been doing similar things. In one case a Chinese fighter suddenly emerged directly on top of a fleet exercise without any of the ships noticing it on radar. Apparently they have some new stealth technology that they are testing. Maybe the Russians have it, too…and are simply seeing when they get reactions.

Bon Nuit!

CT, watch or record it..It’s really very good.

I was on a conference call with 11,000 other Ohioans in my district this evening. Our congressman answered questions people on the phone asked. One was about renewable energy. He was very enthusiastic about wind energy, and hoped to have plants here to build the necessary parts. I hope so too.

time for me to head out - i’m still tired from last nite. g’nite all

In the interest of full disclosure I’m in SolarWorld a German solar company and Vestas wind systems from Denmark. I just wish Google would give them a stock chart on their Google finance pages.
Then I would brag with a link to their 5 year charts.

We have a dozen aircraft carriers. We have another dozen ships - LPH’s and LHA’s - that we don’t call aircraft carriers that are more capapble than any other nation’s aircraft carriers. We sail them up to the edge of dozens of countrys’ territorial waters. Every day.

The aircraft from our aircraft carriers have killed millions of people since WWII. The Soviets, and now the Russians are concerned about these awesome weapons of mass destruction that move about at 45 miles per hour very near to their country. Their crews need to be trained in all aspects of this potential threat.

I enjoyed it fully the first time…! ;-)

Bonne Nuit, Ma Cheri!

Wind power could power electric tractors for the farmers plus farms have a lot of land so nobody near by would get angry about the rotor noise. Which I don’t hear much but then again my hearing isn’t that great.
Its good to hear Ohio is interested though.

Which state are you locate in? They did the Pete Seeger special on Oregon Public Broadcasting last week.

I was delighted that they were willing to mention that Pete Seeger was a membrer of the American Communist Party. Something everyone of us should consider if we are really interested in community.

Today the Revolutionary Communist Party is kind of a joke in America.

http://rwor.org/

However, it is perhaps the nucleus of a good idea. Social Justice is not something that either the Democratic Party or the Fascist Party are promoting in America today. We do need some better choices if, after all, we dare to call ourselves a democracy or progressives, or socialist Christians…
