Good evening all.. I am a bit shaken at the moment.

Aloha, ES!

Why!

tornado?

The weather, Dood?

Just walked into the kitchen and the cat was intensely focused on something on the floor. A GIANT scorpion. I am not a skiddish person, but I hate scorpions. ANway I screamed at the cat until he broke his focus, ran for the shop vac and sucked it up. The shop vac has been hurled into the middle of the yard for now.

squick! i raised my feet off the floor just reading that es…. ick ick ick ick

OMG, like the rat in my upstairs toilet, I screamed like a girl.

*sending a soothing pot of chamomile tea through the tubes to es*

That was great! It makes me miss Sun Volt tremendously.

throwing away perfectly good food!

So then i sit down at the puter to collect myself..and the first link I run across is this via Politico:

Huckabee becomes MSNBC ‘Insider’ for primary night

For coverage of the West Virginia primary tomorrow night, MSNBC has a new “Insider” spouting his opinions and analysis: Mike Huckabee.

The former presidential candidate, who many see as having a future in television (as well as politics), will be paired with DLC chairman Harold Ford. That role usually goes to Joe Scarborough, who’s on vacation this week.

I am about to write MSNBC and ask them if they know tomorrow is a Dem night…and will they please identify Ford as a loser who works for Merrill Lynch and the DLC.

You all can get your Diggs in right here!

I miss them too, except for the fact I listen to them often.

thanks for the son volt reminder.. been too long since i’ve heard this

Let us pray.

If you want, I’ll mail it to ya.

I hope Joe Scar is on a permanent vacation (from MSNBC is all I mean by that)

I can’t remember, did they have Democratic talking heads on during Repuglican primary nights (or were there any nights that were Repug-only?)

Actually The Huckster might be a refreshing change from the aforementioned Joe Scar and from Pat Buchanan…although Pat may be there too.

…although Pat may be there too.

Who will Rachel pound on if Pat bails?
I’m hoping he is prominent :-)

Well i know I will not be tuning into MSNBC for DLC & Fundie night commentary on anything.. What time does Flanders and Jane come on? *g

Rachels head must have exploded when she read about that line up.

Popcorn popper fried squirrel in the green room!

Hallelujah.

-G

Maybe The Huckster’s designated role is to be the the Arkansas “insider” with omniscience into Hillary Clinton’s soul…

sweet! I like bugs :D

Hey Neuro ya got the zed and the digg…. good work and kudos! Keep these doggies using their shovels and keep digging for our great hosts and posters!

I just got off the phone with my step-dad and my Mom made it safely to Colorado Springs and my Grandma is stabile and my Sister is headed there too…! 8-)

there’s a Rat in my Kitchen, what I’m a gonna do?

has mom laid into the nursing home staff yet as to why the hell gramma lay on the floor all night with a broken hip?

Do you like black ants? We used to eat those when I was little. Tasted like blueberries, I thought.

Fingers crossed, tuttle

Hi, ES! Hi, Suzanne!
Good evening, Pups

What’s new and exciting? Been offline most of the day.

Sorry to hear about the scorpion scare, ES. I’d be shaken, too.

FunnyD

be glad you didn’t find a snake in the grass?

the always trustworthy Robert Novak

/s:

Nevertheless, reports out of the evangelical community dispute Huckabee’s support [of McCain]. One experienced, credible activist in Christian politics who would not let his name be used told me Huckabee in personal conversation with him embraced the concept that an Obama presidency might be what the American people deserve. That fits what has largely been a fringe position among evangelicals that the pain of an Obama presidency is in keeping with the Bible’s prophecy.

According to this activist, at the heart of the let-Obama-win movement is [a] longtime Virginia conservative leader…regarded as one of the hardest-edged Christian politicians. He is reported in evangelical circles to promote the Biblical justification for an Obama plague-like presidency.

heh, I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes…! Actually, he said she’s on it and Grandma is stable…! He’ll let me know what’s going on as he gets ‘em…!

Sorry to hear about your gramma, CT.

Thanks FunnyD, it’s just a part of life in these hills, a part I to which I may never grow accustomed..)

yup! I like the tarnished plant beetle cause you can taste the cyanide, like apple seeds.

its gawd’s plan that the r’s lose is their story and they are gonna find a way of sticking to it.

plague-like

Good Gawd! Vote FOR a plague!

jeebus, I thought that was Shirley Temple

Mahalo, ES! And ya’ll for your kind thoughts and condolences…! Dang, ES, I woulda just squashed the mofo with the biggest object within reach…! ;-)

Good Gawd! Vote FOR a plague!

Obama’s hardly running a low-cust campaign…

…as we scurry for our thesauruses…
Ah, no joy.

They carry as many as a hundred teeny tiny young on their back.. So it’s easy to scatter a hundred or more when you do that!

bush has been doing his part turning water into blood

“low cost”, locust, aw never mind…

my favorite Lanois song: Still Water

then 10 plagues of ancient egypt

Tough choice.. I figured if i went with Mother Superior, Jane might show up. /s

Were there any on the back…? I agree that would call for different measures, like grabbing more objects to squash ‘em with…! I’m not a ground-pounder for nothing…! ;-)

Darth Campaigns For Davis In Mississippi

In a desperate effort to call forth the forces of Mordor Republican Congressional-Candidate Greg Davis calls upon Dick Cheney to campaign on the eve of Tuesday’s run-off against Democrat Travis Childers.

Given that Cheney is even less popular than Bush (is it possible?) and that the 18%’ers can’t ALL be coagulating in Ole Miss…this could be one of the most idiotic ploys that a Republican could pull this year! If it doesn’t work Cheney will be sealed permanently in his crypt!

these are desperate times

good call. then there’s The Maker

Gotta let that “anti-Christ” come to power. Sad thing is that more of the features that match their version of the Anti-Christ fit Bush far more than Obama.

We’re talking very very small. May need a magnifying glass to be able to see them at all. Shop Vacs rock for these situations..

I don’t think Mississippiians are prepared for Darth’s secret weapon.

Isn’t Lanois married to Joni Mitchell?

A surgical strike, eh? I like big boom-booms myself…! ;-)

Watch the Rick James ref’s! :-)

Ick, scorpions. One morning I was doing the breakfast dishes and scooped a handful of oatmeal out of one sink and into another. The pile started to wiggle and I thought - oatmeal shouldn’t do that, should it? A small green scorpion crawled out of the glop and I screamed like a girl (oh, wait, I am a girl, never mind). We put it in a jar and Sprout took it to school for show and tell, then we let it go, back into the mountains.

Here’s a great combo - Aaron Neville and Daniel Lanois. Love Lanois, I gave my mom his Acadie CD just before she died. She loved his voice, said it and his lyrics were showing her the way home. ‘Course, she also saw a squirrel with a giant pair of golden scissors on her balcony, but hey, who am I to question.

I believe that Darth’s campaigning in my district (KS-2) contributed, along with Junior’s personal appearance here, to the defeat of a 6-term Repuglican incumbent by a Democrat in 2006…it was, in Tolkeinian fashion, as if the forces of Evil swept in and the good folk repelled them.

If Darth shows up use rotten eggs on him… works every time:>) As thye say “Nothing like a good Egging for his soul”

The Scouring of the Shire?

Aaron Neville and his brothers rock, I love this Duet

Iran says to sue U.S. and Britain over mosque blast

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran’s judiciary said on Monday it would file international lawsuits against the United States and Britain, accusing them of providing financial support to those behind a blast in a mosque that killed 14 people.

Iran’s intelligence minister last week said Iran had arrested five or six members of a terrorist group with links to Britain and the United States who he said were involved in the explosion that also wounded 200 in the southern city of Shiraz.

Iranian officials had previously said the April 12 blast, during an evening prayer sermon by a prominent local cleric, was caused by explosives left over from an exhibition commemorating the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.

At first glance…
TheOnion?

hmmm, if so I did not know.

it’s been a long time since:

Hi Kids! Watching TDS… The Dumbest Fucking Guy in the World is on? Who knew he’s be brave enuff to sit with JS? Colbert might be a better choice though…

I know this is a few days od but damned if Bushco isn’t hell bent on killing us all through intentional negligence.

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration on Friday urged a federal appeals court to stop meatpackers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease, but a skeptical judge questioned whether the government has that authority.

The government seeks to reverse a lower court ruling that allowed Kansas-based Creekstone Farms Premium Beef to conduct more comprehensive testing to satisfy demand from overseas customers in Japan and elsewhere.

Less than 1 percent of slaughtered cows are currently tested for the disease under Agriculture Department guidelines. The agency argues that more widespread testing does not guarantee food safety and could result in a false positive that scares consumers.

am watching it too jofish. late nite thread had lots of talk about the interview but i tried to shield my eyes.

With Jon, you know you’re being skewered and you can’t do a thing about it.
With Steven, you only realize it in the rear view mirror.

jeez punaise, the entire lyrics of that song will be running through my head for days…) … those air conditioned cubicles and those carbon ribbon rides…

Hejira is one of my five desert island albums. Joni is in fine form in that clip.

Seven years ago, maybe.

It is gruesome! JS is doing an admirable job…!

A classic in its own league for sure.

JS is forking shredding dougies arguments and justifications

too bad js wasn’t doing that same thorough job of interviewing when he had mcsame on

I definitely need to see the extended version of the interview…!

Report reveals how Syria concealed nuclear reactor

American nuclear experts briefed by governmental officials are expected to issue a report detailing the tactics employed by Syria to conceal the existence of the nuclear reactor eventually bombed by Israel in September of last year, the Washington Post reported.
The researchers for the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) divulge how Syrian engineers attempted to hide cooling and ventilation systems, power lines and other features usually identifying a nuclear plant.

According to the Post, the authors of the report, David Albright and Paul Brannan, went on to note the difficulties the world now faces in identifying nuclear operations in countries seeking to conceal their plans.

The report discusses how the main building was designed to appear small and short from an aerial view, but in fact housed large underground chambers large enough to contain the reactor, a reserve water-storage tank and pools for spent fuel rods.

hey Betsy
