Ah ha!
You’re dead on as always, Suz!
Think this is my cue to fade. Take care and enjoy the snark.
third DEZ in line
g’evening pups
remember, no spitballs at the ushers
Aloha, DD!
g’nite dr dick
I need a snack
Anyone up for some tofu and mushrooms?
Bon soir…
-G
boa noite, DrDick
Dang, I knew I shoulda gone with just Suz…! ;-)
sigh are they chocolate with lots of whipped cream?
creme brulee or better yet bread pudding with bourbon vanilla sauce
I think I need to rent “American President”
DUN DIGGED FOR YA SUZ
another try
thanks nahant
i’d put it on my car mary
what does that stand for?
for Suzanne
Looks good Betsy. Something i could probably make on my own with a bit of practice.
Sounds great Betsy but we just finished my home made spaghetti and Italian HOT Sausage mmmmm good!
ohmystars, thank you tex
It is fun!
or bread pudding souffle with bourbon vanilla sauce.
don’t fuck with me, fellas.
or just the bourbon vanilla sauce *g*
Umm, my choice.
I’m going to get somefin to eat.
or just the bread pudding
Plenty of tofu available in Japan… I’d use a 3 or 4 on the firmness level, alias, for that recipe…! ;-)
yay! i got p0rn!
now to watch cart00ns :D
CRAP, we forgot to digg thers’ crap
Hi suzanne, pups.
Rainy and cold, weather sucks, saw some farms under four feet of water while driving to Trois-Rivière.
There’s lots of asian groceries here in Grand Rapids too. :P We’ve got a pretty high asian population in general so the stores are always a mix of japanese, korean, vietnamese and chinese foods and items. The nearest local one by me has some good priced tofu.
hey q, guess you don’t wanna hear that we hit 80 today and its still 52 outside
You do realize that there are five levels of firmness, 1 being the consistency of cottage cheese…!
going down
us, too. sacramento. mucho asian folks.
Hey twk3 I have been playing with that Ubuntu with that link you posted… works great just start the install and go do something else and it does all the work. Thanks for the pointer1
I think I’ll take the bread pudding and leave the tofu and mushrooms for tomorrow’s lunch.
Glad some noticed, I was getting dinner ready then sat with the little lady and I come back and NO ONE had dugg his post :>( Now all you good pups need to take of that:>)
I remember hearing that. (i don’t cook as often as i should, either) I never know exactly what firmness they use in the miso soup at my favorite restaurants though. I’ve yet to have the level 1 type yet, thanks for the warning. :P
Gotta love the licks…! ;-)
making mental note that pups do not like like marvin the martian
3 is the most popular and versatile… 5 is used when ya marinate it overnite and grill it like a steak…! ;-)
Last sunday was quite nice.
i just say no to tofu.
What do you use soft Tofu for? I always want the firmest I can find, cuz otherwise it disintegrates in the dish.
Great pix Q!
Duck Dodgers In The 24 1/2 Century!!!!111
dugg
Now who said that Suz? I havw been busy making sure the diggs were done and have just gotten to the Cartoon! Didn’t my digg mention the Cartoon !!!! :< )</p>
Haven’t seen this one in a very long time:>) I just don’t want to say just how lond it has been.
sweet! :)
i was just figuring since the movie was mentioned and the toon wasn’t…..
in the comments, not talking about the digg nahant
Some oriental dishes call for it, but, like I said 3 has the best consistency for most dishes… If ya want even firmer tofu you can press it yourself by wrapping it in paper towels and placing a weight on it for a couple of hours…! ;-)
that’s some fine eye candy q – thank you
Mel came to campus one day. he signed my Holidaze album :)
as i recall, mel didn’t like marvin much either.
Duh. I just now figured out why the cartoon was named Duck Dodgers. Seems like quite a stretch. But then I didn’t watch Buck Rogers. I thought it was stoooopid.
i’m having this as my late night snack
Suzanne and Betsy:
DFH all the way!
dugg!
Don’t think I have ever tried that.
tw3k, i am so jealous
wobbly, are those fried bananas?
in hindsight, the buck rogers serials were pretty hokey. but at the time, that was state of the art special effects in the movie industry.
Uh oh. I just yawned. Might be getting time to turn in and read silly novel.
Sleep well Gnome. You coming up tomorrow for Nonplussed’s dem party event?
they are fantastic but the bananas here don’t taste nearly as fantastic as they do there
That’s vanilla bean and a cinnamon stick as garnishes…! ;-)
g’nite gnome
banana fritters with vanilla and cinnamon. but i love plaintains as well
boa noite, gnome
Now that is clarified I feel better, for me I watched the cartoon. The kid in me just can’t give up those great old cartoons…. Thanks for that one Suz..
banana’s foster
heh, Missy, we grow some magnificent bananas here… In all shapes and sizes…! ;-)
here is their recipe..it’s pretty close to mine
Duck the Fodgers!
of course hawaii does but i’m willing to bet they are even better in south america *g*
I guess I really do need to retire. I read your sentence as “Now that is clarified butter I feel,”
Betsy – I doubt that I will be going. I’ve got too much planned for my plant tending, since I was gone today. BTW, that cactus was just a one day bloomer. The flowers are all gone. But I have a different one that is budding now. Don’t know what color it will be!
hey pun
good evening.
did my digg.
ever have banana’s foster?
They were made in the Thirties what do you want???
heya.
for some reason it became vitally important to paint the bedroom this weekend. just finished first coat on the walls.
I’ll take that bet any day… The volcanic soil here produces the best of all produce… We grow mammoth tomatoes and the sweetest oranges and everything in between, to include blueberrys…!
i got butter
/monty python
yes, very, very tasty.
Y’all are making me hungry!
be right back
You need some sustenance I think Gnome :>)
I thought that was solely Brennan’s signature piece…! ;-0
brasil is just tropics. in the north, tropical fruit and sugar (all native) and in the south coffee. i have never had good banas in the U.S. and that includes Hawai’i. no offense, just my tastes
what color and which bedroom? one recently vacated?
bananas
yes, we have no banana’s
hehe that’s cute
Speaking of BANANAS her is a chilling article about why we may loose the bananas we so love!
HERE
WTF??!!
i read something similar a few years back
yay, mr wobbs is home.
boa noite, pups
night wobbly
Yep.
Very few gags in cartoons better than Marvin’s helmet ornament.
Aloha, wobbly!
hey busted
Good night wobbly have fun with Mr wobbly:>)
boa noite wobbly
We’ve never been hit with the ‘panama disease’, and we don’t grow the cavendish banana here, but, we’ve been impacted with the ‘bunchy top virus’ which forced the growers to cut down large acreages and replant…!
Oh Great Computer Guru’s,
I have two questions,no hammers involved.
Why in the hell would I have 17 Task Manger .EXE programs going at once?
And WTF is System Idle Process that uses up to 90% of my CPU at times.
I’ll get something to drink while you try to explain this to a Mekanik……..
you PC busted?
paging nahant to the white courtesy phone please, nahant to the white courtesy phone
Here’s how to fix:
Hold your PC in the palm of your left hand.
In the right hand, you should have an object similar to a fairway wood or a McCovey 44″ slugger.
Gently toss the computer about three feet into the air, and quickly grab the “tool” in both hands and swing really hard…
wubi?
I am NOT Politically Correct!!
TAKE IT BACK!!!
Lol.
On my little laptop. It took a half hour to get in here because something was running in the bakground, that’s what I found.
Good night friends. Time for me to turn in.
mac users have such a bad attitude
Now, now, Newt, be nice…! 8-P
pain free sleep wishes tex
I ain’t that brave right this minute…..
Aloha, Tex!
Nite Tex
*sigh* i would so love it if either of the d’s runnining for the nominee would make the kinda speech in the movie clip
That we do :-)
nah, the “master” bedroom, which is all of about 120 sq. ft.
Or if Anne Benning knocked on my door buck nekkid right now.
about the same odds.
heh
Swing for the fences, busted!
sigh
nothing to it ;)
Hey Busted send me a screen shot so I can see just what those .exe’s are! System idle is just that but there may be something else!
I’ll bookmark it and play with it later.
I know just enough about these things to be very dangerous.
And what does he do in the mean time, eh? 8-P
I like Marvin the Martian, but I had to leave FDL in order for the clip to play on YouTube, and then i got the screen freeze with the little hourglass cursor thing so I had to just turn it all off and come back.
And I got distracted. ;)
I just killed ‘em all.
busted version of that baseball thangie
It does that every once in a while by itself and I have multiple anti virus, spyware things. It’s a mystery to me.
Gee if you really want to do something like that I recommend a 12 gauge loaded with buck shot at 12 paces…. works every time!
Now for a Mac just put it in a metal add 1 quart of gasoline step back light a pach of matches and gently throw them in with the MAC… works every time :>)
i sure wish utubes and firefox would figure out what the incapatability issue is… i will lock up totally if i have more than 5 tabs open and try to play a utube
Take it from me – you can skip the gasoline and create the same effect. Just use the stock battery.
I swear! The same net result…! ;-)
BTW, Busted multiple systems don’t mean a cleaner system, oftentimes it will bog it down…!
Mine locks up with one youtube on certain websites.
That’s part of why I couldn’t get in here. When there are two back to back, ferget it.
try going to Microsoft’s live one care and run the complete scan… even a Maknick should be able to figure out how to run it,,,, BUT… you might want to let it run overnight as it takes time depending on how large you hard drive is.
I have most of them turned off right now just so I can get in here.
propane works well also :>)
just add water :)
I found that Grisoft’s AVG is sufficient and I’ve had no issues, and, it doesn’t bog me down…
Ah well, it isn’t a big deal.
Who is it that says Sufferin’ Succotash? I love that cartoon.
I’ll do that and then wait for Stupies fabulous cash giveaway and get a newer laptop.
*g*
i will lock up totally if i have more than 5 Tabs open
maybe you should cut down on your soda intake…
Naw CO2 water will just spread the flames!
Yosemite Sam…! ;-)
That’s one of ‘em.
foghorn leghorn?
ct’s right, it is yosemite sam
Sufferin succotash was Sylvester IIRC.
I thought it was a duck!
Both. Sam And da cat.
Dump them rest! Seriously! ;-)
Clearly, I need Remedial Cartoons.
I think that sounds like a great idea, actually.
Adobe Drops Licensing Fees, Gives Away Flash For Devices
Heh, it was Mel Blanc…! 8-P
Suz I don’t experience that with either one. I have 18 tabs open in 7 windows with FireFox and in Ie I have 9 open and in Safari I have another six tabs open…. must be just your PC :>( Need a good tune up I think
hehehehe true dat
L.M.A.O!
Smarty pants!
that’s sum hot water
Picking jaw up off floor…
DUDE!
Dayam… I only can handle one browser at a time… Whew! ;-)
Busted just how old is your PC anyway??
show off
Psst… Dudette…! ;-)
Hell I dunno, Here, let’s you tell me.
It says Gateway Solo
pssst… nahant is a dood, dood.
Aargh, I hate crow…! ;-)
Lol.
I’m still laughing too hard…………….
Wait for it,,, Pentium 3, Fred Flinstone signed it personally.
Psst… Dudette
I don’t think so http://www.flickr.com/photos/2…..5649/show/
carrotblanca
Dood. You da man. I only have 16 tabs open on Firefox. IE scares me, and I’m not currently using a Mac. ;-)
My humble apologies…! dang, it’s some stringy ass fowl…! ;-)
he’s the man
It says Gateway Solo
Thats you first problem.. I have never worked on a Gateway that I have liked! I usually tell prospective clients who have Gateways to toss them if they are more than 3-4 years old and get a new one… they have always given me fits!
I’m guessing more like 5 -6.
You don’t need a MAc to run Safari… I am on a Dell 1720 laptop running Vista Ultimate with 3 gigs of ram
What the heck, I’ll get a newer one eventually, they’re just like cars, millions of ‘em out there.
I don’t know your budget but Dell has some great offers for cheap. If you want I can gin one up from their web site in no time!
watch her strut
I’m on an ancient HP and have no probs with Safari, except when I try to access my MSN e-mail account…! ;-)
Dam Suz I just love that one… she is a cutie… just you wait till she gets older
Thanks for the offer.
I’m gonna have ta wait fer a bit.
I still have my PC, it’s newer and faster I have to get a keybord. It’s not a tower unit either, It looks like a monitor on a stand. Pretty neat little unit for twenty bucks!
busted, i learned that ya can get keyboards for 10 bucks or so at kmart and walmart. i’ve had to buy many replacements during my tenure here at the lake
You had said that before and it makes no sense to me a browser is a browser… But you never know Jobs just might have made sure that Microsoft stuff won’t run in Safari :>( I wouldn’t put it past him…. You can’t run Windows update unless you use IE…
For some odd reason or other, eh? ;-)
i run windows update just fine and i use ff and have ie disabled on my system. i have it set to run automatically and it does
Oh I have seen them before I had to put memory in a couple of them for a client… try adding memory to it
I won’t ask why………
i’m still booted off a 1gig usb stick :)
No thanks, I had it open once.
I swear, every time I try to access it, Safari gives me a ‘Safari has experienced a problem…” and promptly shut down…!
In auto it doesn’t need a browser. But if you try and go to the update site manually it won’t work.. At least it hasn’t for me!
party all night
LOL!
Just for the record: The night I walked tuttle through the Safari install and config, he bitched about his MS account. So I launched XP Pro and created an MS account, and dodged in and out of it for 20 minutes.
That said, I wouldn’t put it past him, either.
Suz must be forking with them :>) or maybe she just tries to see if they have learned to fly yet??
Confirmation from a MAC guy SEE… they just don’t play well together1
WebKitGtk, barebones and super fast.
So, why bother with Safari then? I ask that quite innocently. I’ve used Safari a very little bit, and certainly not enough to learn its pros and cons. I’ve focused on using Firefox because it avoids the vulnerabilities of IE and is totally cross platform: Windows, Macs, and Linux (my OS of choice).
I was thinking of the spew factor around here..
I deleted IE. I haven’t used it since I found Firefox.
Funny! Thanks, Suz. We need to laugh, and be of good cheer…so we can go kick butt, politically speaking, of course.
very high spew factor… had to learn how to drink my coffee and not spew on the keyboard… it took some practice but i am getting better about missing it
Personally, I like the speediness of Safari and the graphics are light years ahead, but, I post in FF at M&C and read my email with FF…!
dayam straight, margot. gotta kick back and have some laughs to recharge our batteries for tomorrow’s fight
Didn’t you tell us once that Token was originally a blonde?
Ditto, here… IE is woefully inadequate…!
no, token’s sister is a blonde and i was blonde as a child – it occasionally catches up with me
hey Suzanne, go give a listen to what this guy has posted right now.
Pretty cool guy, come to find out he ws raised in the little town right next door. I turned him on to your place .
http://informiorium.blogspot.com/
Same reason you FF the hackers haven’t concentrated on developing tools to take advantage of it yet…. Samee with Mac OS, Linux and Unix… There are other reasons also but Ie is the most prevalent of them all and is easier to hack… Although Mickeysoft are still working on closing the holes. Vista has a lot of good security feature built in and so far I have been having good luck with it,,,but I do have tools to watch over it also… for a PC I recommend Zone Alarm Internet suite has lots of protection and is updated almost as fast as the hackers can launch new viruses and phishing schemes!
oooooh, ear candy AND eye candy.. thanks busted
Oh, and after the frikkin cat bit me real good the other day, I have an update on the situation;
http://bustednuckles.wordpress.com/
They make clear plastic just for that and oh by the waY YOU CAN RUN THEM THROUGH THE DISHWASHER just don’t use the dishwasher detergent… and let it dry completly before plugging it back in.
Have you ever tried to uninstall that SOB?
KeeeeeRIST!
i am the dishwasher, dood – don’t have one here
*wheeze* *gasp* *shaking with laughter*
dayam, i sure like the way you write dood
you mean ZoneAlarm… if so yes… but I do know what I am doing…
Why thank you.
run it under good hot water and let it dry… I know it is the old fashion way and I have used that method for a client or two…. not many have dishwashers in their office.
funny shit
i read quinn because every now and then she drops in a lulu the cat post… here’s one of her classics
That one caused me a lot of grief, I haz no klue.
I are komputor illiterate, almost.
Double Standards for Brown People or why Hispanics are leaving.
Pat Buchanan wonders why Obama never left Rev Wrights church despite all the bad things Wright said.
Too bad for Pat Bush is even less popular than the Rev Wright.
Although Bush thinks the Stimulus checks will help Memorial Day gas prices might cancel that hope though.
I will I will Rub a dub dub…. thanks for the grub…. yeah god!
There Busted does that help???
Why are Hispanics leaving the Catholic Church Pedophile Priests an out of touch leadership that Makes Bush seem aware and in charge? Or Pat Buchanan?
I’m a big fan of the Nissan Ultimate 14-Ounce Stainless Steel Vacuum Travel Tumbler : “Lever-action opens and closes sip-hole for easy, no-spill sipping,” which doesn’t prevent spew but does avoid speed-bump-induced lap coffee.
Nothing can make Bush aware! I left a long time ago once I started learning history and saw how MEN used Jesus as an excuse for all kinds of shit they wanted to get away with….
oh good, i have been looking for a new car coffee cup.. thanks
A recent article in the New York Times has resurrected an old issue, the killing of three American nuns in El Salvador on December 2, 1980.
The church women — Maura Clarke, Ita Ford and Dorothy Kazel along with church worker Jean Donovan — were abducted, raped and shot to death that night. The next day, peasants discovered their bodies alongside an isolated road and buried their remains in a common grave. The van they had been driving when stopped at a military checkpoint turned up 20 miles away, burned and gutted.
Maura Clarke and Ita Ford were Maryknoll sisters. Dorothy Kazel was an Ursuline sister.
Maura Clarke and Ita Ford had arrived on a flight from Nicaragua that morning. Dorothy Kazel and Jean Donovan had come in a van to the airport and had picked them up.
Maura Clarke, Ita Ford and Dorothy Kazel
American Nuns Killed in El Salvador in 1980
Maura Clarke and Ita Ford were Maryknoll sisters. Dorothy Kazel was an Ursuline sister.
Everyone familiar with this case knows the reason why these nuns were presumably killed. Yet, this has never been mentioned in any published article.
The three nuns were killed for the same reason that Archbishop Romero of El Salvador was assassinated a year earlier (Jean Donovan was a pall bearer at the funeral of Archbishop Romero): They were aiding and assisting the Communist insurgents who were fighting a war in El Salvador. This fact has never been denied. Presumably, a denial would have come if this were not true.
There can be no denial that the killing of the three nuns was a brutal and heinous act. Yet, many people are killed in a war. More than 100,000 people were killed in this War in El Salvador. The only thing which made this particular killing noteworthy was that the three women were American and they were nuns.
It has always been a mystery why workers of the Catholic Church were involved in assisting leftist insurgencies in Central America and elsewhere during this period. Yet, there is no doubt that this was the case.

If you had nine kids and someone told your wife that using birth control would cause her to burn in hell forever, what would you do?
You might get a better deal from Amazon on those cups.
How good at first aid are you?
Just a little bit longer and any Doctor I’ve ever met would have been threading a needle.
She is coming around now, I just ain’t sticking my hand down to pet her.
Vicious little thing.
If you tried to install it with another anti virus program already installed it and actually any other will give you fits… I have seen it many times and they can be a bitch to fix…. takes a lot of time and effort… they just fork each other all up… you must uninstall the old one FIRST!
Work for the Reagan White House
Buchanan served as White House Communications Director from 1985 to 1987. To help garner opposition to Nicaragua’s Sandinista government and support of the opposing rebels he coined the phrase I’m a contra too.

Pat I’m a Nun Killer Too, should not be casting stones at Rev Wright.
That was a few towers ago.
It was all the hidden files. the uninstall program didn’t do it thoroughly.
Ask the wife her opinion?
Not that I am married in real life.
We have an 5 foot Iguana and if you know anything about them watch out for da claws… they have little razor hooks on the end of their claws… we use long sleeve gloves to handle him… but I have learned to use his tail as a carrying handle just don’t get to close to his hind claws….
twas a hypothetical question
I can SO identify with that!
Funny stuff.
Hmmm… If we’d caught Osama back in 2001 he’d probably be released shortly…
YIKES!!!
No reptiles, thanks. Especially ones with razor tipped claws!!

morning all.
Back in my ibm PS-1 days and after an unfortunate incident with a glass of wine, I ran my keyboard through the d/w. Destroyed my then irreplaceable mini-keyboard. Mebee I used soap. Loved that keyboard!
You neede to delete the folder it was installed in and if you get the properties of the folder and under the folder options select show hidden files…. then you can see them and delete them.
Send ‘em to Texas and plant an ounce of weed on ‘em……
Can’t this administration do ANYTHING right!
Hiya, pups.
The soap has grit in it and that will destroy the wire traces on the circuit board… just the hot water works just fine… but the worst ting to get out of a keyboard is Orange juice….
WTF just flew over my head?
Properties?
I ‘m serious, I aint real computer savvy. Ya get to properties by right clicking?
Ain’t that the death penalty down there…? ;-0
Controversy
The School of the Americas has been criticized for the participation in human rights violations by some of its graduates. Critics argue that the education encouraged such practices and that this continues in the WHINSEC.[7]
According to the Center for International Policy, “The School of the Americas had been questioned for years, as it trained many military personnel before and during the years of the “national security doctrine” — the dirty war years in the Southern Cone and the civil war years in Central America — in which Latin American militaries ruled or had disproportionate government influence and committed serious human rights violations. Training manuals used at the SOA and elsewhere from the early 1980s through 1991 promoted techniques that violated human rights and democratic standards. SOA and WHINSEC graduates continue to surface in news reports regarding both current human rights cases and new reports.”[12]
Defenders argue that today the curriculum includes human rights as described above. They also argue that no school should be held accountable for the actions of only some of its graduates.[12]
[edit] Intelligence training manuals
See also: U.S. Army and CIA interrogation manuals
On September 20, 1996, the Pentagon released seven training manuals prepared by the U.S. military and used between 1987 and 1991 in Latin America and in intelligence training courses at the U.S. School of the Americas (SOA). The manuals were based in part on lesson plans used by the school as far back as 1982 and, in turn, based in part on older material from Project X.[2] According to Lisa Haugaard of School of the Americas Watch, these manuals taught repressive techniques and promoted the violation of human rights throughout Latin America and around the globe.[13] The manuals contain instructions in motivation by fear, bounties for enemy dead, false imprisonment, torture, execution, and kidnapping a target’s family members. Joseph Kennedy said “These manuals taught tactics that come right out of a Soviet gulag and have no place in civilized society.” The Pentagon admitted that these manuals were a “mistake”[14]
After this investigation in 1992, the Department of Defense discontinued the use of the manuals, directed their recovery to the extent practicable, and destroyed the copies in the field. U.S. Southern Command advised governments in Latin America that the manuals contained passages that did not represent U.S. government policy, and pursued recovery of the manuals from the governments and some individual students.[15]

Seems like the Schools Grads or at least the schools methods have been used in Iraq was South America just a test run?
That was a rhetorical question, right? 8-) Howdy, how’s the land of the noonday moon?
I’m teasing ya Nahant, btw.
hey et
If it weren’t cloudy tonight would be the first night it doesn’t get dark. It was gusty today, but got into the high 50s in mid-afternoon.
yes on the root of your C drive from there you also can go to tools for defragging the drive and scandisk which will fix broken pages on the hard drive( this one only runs at reboot and will ask you if you want to schedule it for then
hey thats Ok I do like to help others with their balky PC’s though
Me and Defrag are old fiends, I have to defrag this little thing constantly and I have a program I bought that scrubs the memory to get more. I usually have to use that just to get in here. Something about this site uses a lot of my memory, which there ain’t a lot to begin with. Me or the computer.
while walking token and goldie earlier, i saw 3 stars lined up in a horizontal row in the western sky. gotta go figure out what they were… i think one was a planet but the alignment is what caught my eye
Pope John Paul II, who, being from Poland, himself had first hand knowledge of the horrors imposed by a Communist rule, brought an end to involvement of the Catholic Church in aiding leftist insurgencies, when he visited Central America in 1983. I, myself, along with a million other people who had assembled in El Salvador to hear the Pope speak, heard him address this issue. The Pope said that the duty of the church is to teach that Jesus is the Son of God, and nothing else! In a private meeting with the priests and nuns of El Salvador later that day, the Pope emphatically told them to stop their involvements in political matters.
My Italics My bold
so freedom from Communism is good but rape, torture, killing is ok if your a freakin Capitalist?
Why are Hispanics leaving the Catholic Church? Double standards!
The Pope and Pat Buchanan anyone who could excuse winning the war on Commies by selling your own soul has already lost.

Hi S. How’s the civilized West tonight?

No doubt a matron’s ocelot is up an elm somewhere, and the local constabulary’s full might is required to deal with the situation.
Yeah , Max and his band are righteous.

BTW, siri, which Isle did ya meet Ava on…? ;-)
All I ask is they don’t cramp me style.

Now the MSM I’m sure will rush to Pat’s defense and say that he did not know what was going on in Reagan’s White House where he worked.
But Pat has been in the News business for years he has had plenty of time to ask, be told, OR CHECK OUT THE FACTS OF AMERICAN TRAINED RIGHTWING DEATHSQUADS NUN KILLING HIMSELF!
Pat certainly had at various times the resources of PBS,CNN, and MSNBC’s research departments and interns to check this story for him if doubted it or if he lacked the ability to check it himself.
Pat cannot say that he did not know the willful ignorance of looking the other way after you know that there is trouble is equivalent to the Pharrisee who looked once at the person lying in the road and walked on leaving the good Smaratian to help the man on the road.
And as a Catholic its his obligation moral if not spelled out in the book to look, hey some things are just sooo obvious they don’t need to be written down in the Bible looking after your own is one of them.
I know I pick on Pat Buchanan but I also hold Tweety, Modo and Tim Russert all Catholics as guilty in the Rev Wright Scandal as the man who threw the first STONE!
things, IOKIYAR yanno
the univeral adjective
Siri, I didn’t want to ask ya that on the Glenn/Arianna thread…!
So of course Bush 2 had to hire John Negroponte for old school Reagan/Bush evil
From 1981 to 1985, Negroponte was the U.S. ambassador to Honduras. During this time, military aid to Honduras grew from $4 million to $77.4 million a year, and the US began to maintain a significant military presence there, with the goal of providing a bulwark against the revolutionary Sandinista government of Nicaragua, a Leftist party which had driven out the Somoza dictatorship but subsequently maintained a pluralist society and won overwhelming majorities in free and fair elections by international observers.
The previous U.S. ambassador to Honduras, Jack Binns (who was appointed by President Jimmy Carter) made numerous complaints about human rights abuses by the Honduran military under the government of Policarpo Paz García. Following the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, Binns was replaced by Negroponte, who has denied having knowledge of any wrongdoing by Honduran military forces.
In 1995, The Baltimore Sun published an extensive investigation of U.S. activities in Honduras. Speaking of Negroponte and other senior U.S. officials, an ex-Honduran congressman, Efraín Díaz, was quoted as saying:
Their attitude was one of tolerance and silence. They needed Honduras to loan its territory more than they were concerned about innocent people being killed.
Substantial evidence subsequently emerged to support the contention that Negroponte was aware that serious violations of human rights were carried out by the Honduran government, but despite this did not recommend ending U.S. military aid to the country. Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, on September 14, 2001, as reported in the Congressional Record, aired his suspicions on the occasion of Negroponte’s nomination to the position of UN ambassador:
Based upon the Committee’s review of State Department and CIA documents, it would seem that Ambassador Negroponte knew far more about government perpetrated human rights abuses than he chose to share with the committee in 1989 or in Embassy contributions at the time to annual State Department Human Rights reports.[4]
Among other evidence, Dodd cited a cable sent by Negroponte, in 1985, that made it clear that Negroponte was aware of the threat of “future human rights abuses” by “secret operating cells” left over by General Gustavo Álvarez Martinez, the chief of the Honduran armed forces, after he was forcibly removed from his post by fellow military commanders in 1984.

Ruh Roh, The yawning has started.
ct, i hear glenn himself said he didn’t wanna go off topic and face the wrath of jane … or words to that effect
Pat Buchanan put words in Nixon’s mouth. It was unsanitary, and he never washed his hands after. He’s a naughty boy, a dirty boy.
S. @ 291:
Pow, you got me

g’nite busted
hey, Darkblack,
A new Federal Grand Jury is convening in Anchorage this coming Tuesday. I’m ready, are you? heh…
Yep, he flogged himself before Jane even had a chance…! ;-)
From the FDL news ticker:
Words fail me

Jane does not like off topic?
Whose underwear drawer is up for examination this time, ET?
Heh, not from the host of a book salon…! ;-0
but he was confirmed by the senate anyway. multiple times. did anyone try to filibuster? i don’t remember
So?
;>)
it was book salon where the on topic rule is strictly enforced
And the GOP is always accusing us of having Relative rather than Objective moral values.
Its Ok If Your A Republican is going to go the way of voters trusting the GOP to balance the budget or be better for the economy this election.
book salon, blue america and when we have guest posters that the on topic rule is enforced. it is a show of respect to the guest who is appearing at the lake to interact with our readers.
of course, major breaking news is always an exception.
I did ask Glenn if he wore boxers or briefs…! ;-)
i sure hope so, things.
banging head on desk
Really didn’t he read the book? Or is he that flighty? If so heck he might give me competition.
Yes, that’s a topic where one should curb their puckish desires to pet their cause du jour, unless it cohabitates.
;>)
Good to know.
Somehow, he didn’t answer it…! It was one of those ‘Ya had to be there…’ moments…! ;-)
You might try using the http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
Also http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/…..?affid=105 a free online scan but I would try the onecare first it finds many problems including registry issues and fixes most of them,,, onecare does take a while though… before you can restore you have to clean the Trojan out… that is why it keeps coming back..
i am soooo glad i dont work day shift

What Os are you running? If XP and you have the install CD try running it and find you way to the repair section… you might loose some programs but you can get the .DLL’s back. you will also need to rerun the service packs and updates again as the repair will drop you back to a fresh state…Dam I hated it when I had to start working on PC as before then We never had any problems with viruses and Trojans and such. Did you know the average age of the authors of the viruses is just 17 – 19 years old…
DB when I read Blues they were the first that poped into my mind :>)
ok, pups, speaking of waxing floors… i can’t put it off any longer
thanks for hanging with me tonight, pups. g’nite all
I have XP but I don’t have any of the install discs…! 8-(
The list is potentially so long, I couldn’t possibly know where to begin. Ben Stevens and Frank Murkowski would be nice. The son of one of our two GOP senators, the father of the other. What are the odds of that happening anywhere but Alaska?
Aloha, Suz!
Good night Suz… sleep well and have all good dreams :>)
Good night DB also
Maybe, Texas or Florida, ET!
At least the two families aren’t intermarried. Yet…
Ok can you explain it to me then what twisted adopt the vales of your oppressor sociological process was used to assimilate that generation? What turned unwanted immigrants in a few generations into the very same people who put up signs saying no no Blacks or Irish need apply?
No wonder they hate multiculturalism cause like an abuse victim they have had their own immigrant culture taken away, they now identify with their oppressor even above their identity with their Religion.
And now they want us Brown Folk to Assimilate to be as Happy as they are?
Dam Try and reach me with an e-mail (facebook) and I will see if I can burn you a copy… which version do you have home or pro??
I will need to digg through my collection but I will see what I can do… but do try the onecare but wait until you won’t need the PC for a while
Hmmm, think of the damage they or their spawn could wrought then!
Pro, you can get a hold of me at either M&C or tuttlehiloatmsn…! ;-)
Good nite DB, Nahant

Exactly!

The Catholics in the Main Stream Media Press have adopted the values of their oppressors even over their identity as Catholic. They have even placed these values above their identity as Americans or White people?
Notice that Pat, Tweety, Modo and Pumpkinhead never hesitate to cast the first stone at Rev Wright or Lefties in general but they never mention the Reagan/Bush White American Nun killing legacy because it would be Inconvenient and Embarrassing to their Oppressors.
Pastor Hagee can call the Catholic Church the “Great Whore” but since he is a White Male Protestant the Catholic Thralls in the press turn the other cheek.
Thanks! but just what did happened to them that was so horrible that they would adapt the values of the people who hurt them?
Huey the kid with the Afro on the cartoon the Boondocks would say that they need an intervention of Positive
NubianIrish reinforcement!Theologians were placed by Nietzsche in the same class as priests. He defined the faith that they fostered as “…closing one’s eyes with respect to oneself once and for all, so as not to suffer from the sight of incurable falsity.”[23] Seeing falsely is then valued as the highest morality. This reversal of values is considered, by Nietzsche, to be harmful to life. When the theologians seek political power, “…the will to the end, the nihilistic will wants power
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Antichrist_(book)
This might be where the Catholic MSM and the GOP find common ground in sickness.
If so they are sooo messed up, way beyond my ability to even suggest a fix.
Oh I recommend the film “Nietzsche Wept”

We’re talking about a minority of Irish Catholics, but Italian and Latin Catholics, for example, don’t seem to share that damning judgementalism to the same degree.
Is the Brown Man’s crime against the Authoritarian GOP that he is not assimilating? That he would rather leave a Catholic Church than accept the virtual slavery the old Pope offered? Certainly something is causing Hispanics to leave the Church in great numbers.
Does trying to hold onto old values scare a society based on conformity?
My parents tried to conform but they unlike the other Catholics either were to dark or spoke English with too much of an accent to pass.
The other Catholics I think had the option to pass.
If they abandoned their souls. So its not any superior morality on our part just an unintended benefit of nobody wanting us I’m sure we would have sold our souls if only the Devil wanted us (sob).
There is (or was) a strong thread of social justice in the Catholic Church most epitomized by Pope Leo XIII. Pope John XXIII also was of that thread, but didn’t live long enough to have much of an impact.
True but Supreme Court Justice Scalia and Thomas both Catholic seem to break the trend? Why they do would be interesting?
I know I like about 90% of the Bible, I like Liberation Theology I need to get serious about studying it someday, I don’t like the last Pope. I’m not sure on this one.
I don’t find Scalia to be particularly judgemental. He’s simply an unprincipled right-wing believer, and not at all troubled by his own hypocricy.
I agree with you on both counts. Read some of Leo XIII if you want to see the better side of Catholic thought.
Oops! It’s getting past my bedtime.
G’nte TCU.
We’re talking about a minority of Irish Catholics, but Italian and Latin Catholics, for example, don’t seem to share that damning judgementalism to the same degree.
Yeah I can’t stress it enough its a minority of Catholics but how did they all get jobs in the Main Stream Media?
I’ve seen hardcore church goers who did not like one bit anyone killing Nuns even if they were Commies so Pat and Company cannot claim Faith or that they speak for the Vast Majority, Silent Majority etc Nobody thinks Nun killing is good!
The Nuns who protest outside the School for the America’s are my Catholics!
Now then just what kind of Catholic fringe groups does the MSM represent? Its time for the Vast Majority of Catholics to take back their religion from the MSM Fringe!
Just like its time for the 70%er Democrats to take back America!
Nite Wigwam I’m gone too!
anybody awake yet?

Good morning, pups. It’s a gang at the NYT today, MoDo, Friedman, Kristof and Rich. MoDo has a question: Why does Barack Obama, raised by a single mother who was on food stamps, seem so forced when he mingles with the common folk? Mr. Friedman asks “Who Will Tell the People,” and says we are living on borrowed time and borrowed dimes. We still have all the potential for greatness, but only if we get back to work on our country. Mr. Kristof’s column is titled “A Prison of Shame, and It’s Ours.” He says it would take an exceptional enemy to damage America’s image and interests as much as President Bush and Dick Cheney already have with Guantánamo. Mr. Rich talks about “The All-White Elephant in the Room,” and says if we’re to judge black candidates on their most controversial associates we must judge white politicians by the same yardstick. (About damn time somebody addressed that issue…)

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got apple muffins with walnuts that just came out of the oven. Have a grand Sunday.
Hi, jayt!
mornin’ Marion! How ya been? – I been gone for a bit….
Good morning everyone.
I’ve been pooking along, same as always. Lately, however, I’ve taken some time to dig in the dirt and the garden is looking better for it (in the back, at least… I won’t discuss the front bed, now weed central). We’re enjoying fresh salad greens now before it gets too hot and they bolt and get bitter. Where have you been keeping yourself?
Ain’t that the truth.
He also says that Condi and Gates want it closed, for all the good their input has…
