ES!

eureka!

Eureka!

Hey hey Eureka

Good evening all..

Didn’t they try to attach the FISA w/immunity bill to it too…?

I wish I had some answers; all I know is that change is sorely needed.

ola ES

Why do they keep shooting us in the foot.

???

Cool tune, ES!

NYC rents!! Ms CE is finding housing out of this world.

10 days to vacation. I’m almost there, i haven’t gone insane yet! YAY!

i tell ya, I am over Pelosi.. the thrill is long gone.

A little DIGG for ES

Always vacation, yea!

Early on, I’d read in the Hill that they wanted to attach it to a ‘must-pass’ bill and the war funding bill was floated…

Are you moving to NYC?

Definitely — it was fine and mellow

You guys are looking for an apt in NYC? What’s it looking like, cost-wise?

Heck, why not throw in an amendment declaring congress to be a one party body?

I liked the YouTube, ES. Different.

No, not me. Beloved daughter who will be the Tiffany Intern at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for one year.

You mean the AUMF…

I better hit it.

nite loo hoo

sleep well loo hoo

g’nite loohoo

I was thinking Godwin.

Billie! ;-)

yesh. Already thinking of things to throw on my mp3 player for the train trip. I can’t wait to see some old friends over in Chicago again. It’s usually the highlight of my year, but this one follows a particularly difficult year. Making it all the more needed in terms of simple relief of stress. Lurching from one financial crisis to the next for almost 10 months of a year is not good for one’s health.

i hear ya alias. stress is such a huge negative factor on our bodies.

Bingo, CT :-)

Since we are in late night snark mode, this is too funy.

Should have known where that pointed…
And you have yourself a new nickname, O, Intrepid Ibex!

Heh, It seems to be already… The ACLU has this petition…

it sure isn’t. glad you have a special time planned out

Definitely not. I’m used to dealing with high stress, but not on the level i’ve been living at. Everyone needs a little escape, which is why i love it here at late nite so much.

Safari shut down twice while I was trying to paste those links to the ACLU, I had to switch to FF… Time to get out the tinfoil…! ;-)

me too - keeps me sane living in an insane world

$1,750 a month. Holy crap. That’s IF they accept us.

Wow, that’s like stepping into a twilight zone..)

i’ve had ff lock up twice tonight

Moo!

What is a Tiffany intern? Artist, design?

the rolling commentary is prize :)

Have you tried nearby in Hoboken? It’s a short bus ride.

glass blower/designer?

Margot, that’s a great idea actually.

I would love to live in Manhattan for a year or two.

i’m off to read a bit

boa noite

boa noite wobbs, sleep well

boa noite wobbly

ES, I love Manhattan — don’t think I could live there though.

Unless I had tons and tons of money…then maybe! ;-)

Aloha, wobbly!

Mass Murderer Stopped Before He Started?

Of course the NRA types will argue that the laws used to arrest him were “unfair”. After all, why should carrying around a semi-automatic pistol with lots of ammo cartridges mean anything other than his right to self defense against potential terrorists? And that law against carrying a weapon in a place where there’s alcohol??? What sort of law is THAT? Look at the guy…does he look like someone who’d hit the hooch?

Yes, lots of money and twice the exercise regiment to balance the food I would indulge in at every turn..)

Hello ES! A Tiffany intern is a fellowship at the Met in NYC.

BTW, De Ja Vu… All Over Again…

The US military is drawing up plans for a “surgical strike” against an insurgent training camp inside Iran if Republican Guards continue with attempts to destabilise Iraq, western intelligence sources said last week.

omg yes…Manhattan is a foodie paradise!

OHHH, Goody, I caught ya.
Thank you so much fer thinkin’ about me today, I am very grateful.
Thanks to Texbetsy too,although I probably missed her. Special thanks to David.

The two year Masters Degree at Winterthur was wonderful.

christine e, what does a tiffany intern do? does she get to walk about wearing tiffany jewelry?

*makes mental note to go for a Tiffany internship after retirement*

You wrote a really good column there, Busted. Funny, and a great ending! And you helped out a friend in need.
Here it is if anyone would like to read it.

Oh, no.
She has to be a part of the reinstallation of the galleries there. And study lots of decorative arts studies for future exhibits.

busted that was a good thing you did (and it was a great post that made glad i do not know the names of other animals you have named)

Chris, sounds like her internship will be very fulfilling :-) Good for her!

Hey, how about before retirement? Let us sing!

You’re a pretty soft touch for such an ornery bastard.
Bravo, dude.

Let me put it this way, my kids had to call ‘em by their initials. ‘Nuff said. Thanks again, I am so blessed to be part of this community, seriously. Gnite pups.

One more thing, I won the war tonight, big time. On My Lap.
I’ll blog about that one tomorrow. Gnite!

Oh shoot Chris, I’ve got no time before retirement — five years to go, and then I can play!

Aloha, busted! You are lucky to be alive, I’d been skinned alive…! ;-)

nite busted

g’nite busted… shall i stuff some Mercurochrome into the tubes for your wounds?

buenas noches busted, y dulce suenos

my turn — ‘night all!

g’nite ll

me too.

g’nite gnome

Aloha, LL and Gnome!

This is sickening…

Suicides among Iraq and Afghanistan war vets may exceed combat deaths.

So?

Oh, and if you want to see some good slightly escapist movie goodness? Go see Iron Man. They put lots of easy things for joe sixpack to understand about war profiteering into the plot. They glossed over some of the nastier parts that our US troops are being ordered to do(like the house ot house raids, they made the bad guys do that), but otherwise they got the whole war profiteering aspect dead to rights.

The sad part is that some of the deals cut in the film’s plot could have been done by our own government. The snark Robert Downey Jr brought to it all was incredible too, especially as he finally grew up as the film progressed. This is one i want on DVD! *flails* GOOOD stuff. The fun part is the character was originally written this way in 1963, and the adaptations have kept to whatever conflict is current at the time the version comes out. The animated tv show in the 90s had Stark’s major event happen in Iraq after the first Gulf War, for example. This one took place in current afganistan.

I love RD Jr.

Yep. Pulling for him, too.

wrong thread, but what the heck -

Jenna: she put the ‘l’ in took the ‘l’ out of barfly.

hahaha thanks for the giggle pun

He proved himself all over again as an actor in this one. Probably one of the better big budget comic adaptations that have come out lately. I’m still amused the way some of the smarter films manage to get their digs in. Last year’s Live Free or Die Hard (or Die hardharderharderharder!) was really good in that way with their choice of a villain too, and that was pretty much an original screenplay.

Is this Indiana and No Carolina primary day?

it will be when the sun comes up, es

YO ‘Reka, did you get the e-mail I sent you a few days ago (I forget exactly when)?

“the good fight” is out of the good senator.. reid sure was a milktoast in that TDS interview…

The Grey Lady is reporting spinning this…

Democrats Set to Defy Bush on War Bill

After a meeting Monday evening of House Democratic leaders, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she hoped to bring a $178 billion measure to the floor this week. What could be a contentious debate on the matter is likely to be held on Thursday, aides said.

Ms. Pelosi, of California, did not disclose details of the proposed bill, which will be presented to rank-and-file Democrats at a closed party session on Tuesday. But Democratic officials, who did not want to be identified since the bill was still being put into final form, said the legislative package would include provisions requiring a significant withdrawal of troops from Iraq by December 2009 and measures that would force Iraq to share more costs of its reconstruction

That was as useless an interview as Harry could make it.
What.A.Schmuck.

Yo! yes I did.

I didn’t like the previous ’skit’ with the slimeball Floyd Brown…!

After all this, they are going to give Bush and Cheney 170 (plus) billion. Despicable.

Cheer up tho, if they manage to attach the drawdown timeline it’ll get vetoed anyways…! ;-)

Well, I shall bow out early tonite… I bid ya’ll a fond adieu! Aloha Oe!!!

Like he vetoed last year, then got everything he wanted?

nite tuttle

g’ nite CT

aloha ct

Hillary is sounding shriller by the day. Humans are dying needlessly every day and we are paying to kill them or starve them. It is so sick it really is undescribale. And the US Congress wants more war! Western Civilization has lowered it’s moral standard…even the Almighty Dollar has lost it’s supremacy.
The institutions are faltering. Student cheat instead of learning. Financial institutions have become theives. Churches have become political. Hospitals turn away the sick. Tje courts have been corrupted. Congressional reps votes are purchased by lobbyist (special interestd). The rule of law in now the rule of man. This election is not about anything changing if Democrats are not going to stop funding the war.
Piled higher and deeper is what I am hearing. That is not to say I don’t care…quite the opposite. Moral depravity will destroy society. If we base our society on materialism we are a baseless society. Morality and ethic are as exacting as fine art. High noral and ethical principles have their own reward. America is cheating itself.

they will attach something he will reject and then they will roll over after he does and give boosh what he wants

hasn’t that been the pattern? a small stand up and then fold with a ‘what can we do’ attitude.

I still think the war protesters should pitch in and buy a few hundred thousand blow up human dolls.. paint them bloody and pile them up in front of the White House.

ok - I can’t sleep - there’s a reasonably good chance I may just make a pot of coffee and go vote at 6:00.

In the meantime,
