Say what you want about Larry J…

He’s got the goods on Senator SnakeOil and the pervasive delusion that Obama will walk away with the GE is not supported by the facts. He might make it but he’ll be lucky to do so and we?

We might want to think again about a guy who’s posse currently includes Doug Kmiec.

A post on what’s up with that Jane….

That would be a head-banger.

Here’s what’s up with that: right wing (and Catholic) legal scholar Kmiec endorses Obama, to dismay of colleagues on right.

Which, of course, makes him part of Obama’s “posse”.

You’re right, I’m banging my head.

Hi Jane,

Good day to you.

Hmm…touch choices

narrowed it down to my three four personal faves:

Bitch, PhD

Daniel Golden

Steve Benan

The Farmer

thanks for the linkies….now off to read

(and condolences to you and the poodles on the choke…)

tough choices, too…

go, Golden State Warriors. next year.

Boston in 6.

Sorry but the TeeVee crew are hoping for a Celtic’s win …. it has been a ruff final season for the crew with a couple of 40hr work days….

If you’re up 24 in the 3rd, you should win.

Dunno, may be Boston in 5.

How awful was that?

Hi Jane….

Dem’s MY Celtics. I listenned to Johnny Most call Sam Jones’ last career shot from the top of the key at about 1am Eastern almost 40 years ago.

This is my first foray here for a while. WAAYY back when the URL had “.blogspot” I came on one late Sat. night as ‘Jackintosh’ and you said ‘Hi there and welcome’.

Much has changed for you, the site, and on my end.

Good for you! And keep going! That’s what I plan for this keyboard.

I have acquired the Nov.’07 MacBook (named “Iko”) but no longer have 24hr net access. The local library wifi suffices, for now. A trade I’d do any time and twice on Sundays.

Shout out to Sharkbabe, Mary of the latenight legality v CIA/classified and McCarthy rant, zennurse, *islson****, LHP, TSF, and the rest!

Last handle I used around the Lake was ‘blank kludge’

Lovely here in WMass…and Red’s lighting one up!

30 point swing? Pretty historic. No, Jane, I think 6. Lakers will step up Sunday night and send it back to Beantown. Although, it would be perversely nice to see them dance on the grave in Staples Center.

Then Elmore will be home on Tuesday…. if not…. it will be a week from Sunday….. haven’t seen him for a month…. yee gads…

Good Morning Jane – thanks for all those links

I can see from the intro Bitch PHd is playing my song . . .but had to give it to The Farmer, ’cause Larry deserves every bit of sunlight coming his way :D

recognized 2 of the names from that Larry Sinclair link yesterday as recent regulars at No Quarter – oy

Bitch PhD. In my heart of hearts, I’m still seventeen.

‘zup Blank ! good to see ya!

Hi there cbl2. Likewise…

‘zup is same as everyday…just not sure if I’m Pinky or the Brain, but the idea is always the same.

wow, blank kludge… now there’s a blast from the past.

in your new incarnation, are you related to Norman Mailer and if so why do you always send me those returned emails? :~)

Hi Jane,
Is there a button missing on the vote-o-meter for Sticking’s post?

BTW, O/T -

Outa curiosity, I was just screen scrapin’ some monthly Xchange rate data into an Excel sheet. When Bu’ush “took” office you could buy a Euro with 94 cents. Today it’ll cost ya about a buck-fifty-five. Chart I quickly put together here.

Ahhhh…that MBA President.

Damn! You’re right.

Sorry bout that, Michael. Misspelled Steve’s name too. Can’t edit the damn things.

I owe them both a make-up.

oh noes! basketball pie fights!!!111

that’s reason #1 why la famille punaise will not be visiting France this year.

Stickings! But…I don’t see it on the poll…?

I’m still a Laker Girls fan. But…

The Belgians are coming, the Belgians are coming…!!!! Oh, the horror.

Buttwiper Beer is gonna be sold, using all our cheap money!

Punaise! You that name was supposed to have been keyed with the rest!

Don’t know about Norman; or the Postmaster…more Berkley flavah! Around your neck of the Bay, iirc.

The BSD Daemon

The little red fellow that graces many of these pages is the BSD Daemon. In the context of UNIX® systems, daemons are process that run in the background attending to various tasks without human intervention. In the general sense, daemon is an older form of the word demon. In the Unix System Administration Handbook, Evi Nemeth has this to say about daemons:

“Many people equate the word “daemon” with the word “demon,” implying some kind of Satanic connection between UNIX and the underworld. This is an egregious misunderstanding. “Daemon” is actually a much older form of “demon”; daemons have no particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a person’s character or personality. The ancient Greeks’ concept of a “personal daemon” was similar to the modern concept of a “guardian angel” — “eudaemonia” is the state of being helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons.” (p403)

The earliest (and most popular) renditions of the BSD Daemon were created by John Lasseter. More recent FreeBSD-specific renditions have done by Tatsumi Hosokawa, but the basic inspiration was definitely John’s. The copyright holder and creator of the daemon image is Marshall Kirk McKusick. A short pictorial history is also available. There is a gallery of FreeBSD related publications that use variations of the daemon graphic.

For a while, I had donationware CPU that ran XP!

Much snappier now.

Of course, the former ‘blank’ was an homage to the fringers that Max Headroom would seek out like Mulder later would the Lone Gunmen.

They had no e-trail. Just ‘blank’s.

Kinda radical concept with Mukasy and ATT and no warrants.

Drum

Am I the only one who thinks workers are going to be less than reassured by the prospect of a “new-and-improved management team” that’s “focused on cost-cutting”? Newmark might want to take a second crack at this.

In any case, his main point is that “it would be politically untenable for Obama to welcome a takeover,” so John McCain should take the bait and position himself as a champion of free trade, even if it does mean letting a Belgian company run by a Brazilian dude take control of good ‘ol American Budweiser. After all, who better to take a stand on this than a guy who dumped his first wife 30 years ago in order to marry a wealthy heiress who now owns one of the largest Anheuser Busch distributors in the country?

See #21 above.

Excellent.

Buttwiper beer sux, btw.

Only problem with Booman is L J never said he had the tape. Nor did he claim to be releasing it at any given time. But then why let facts get in the way of your rant?

go, Golden State Warriors. next year.

ah pun, twas ever thus, although could be worse, we could be Clippers fans :D

you’ll get no argument there. local micro-brews!

M . A . G . I . C

league imbalance led to a team with 48 wins missing the playoffs. they faded down the stretch, however, and missed opportunities….

DFH beer

If Buttwiper is the only choice, I will forego. Ugh.

Has Larry Johnson found Whitey Bulger yet?

-G

FreeBSD!

Free. Free. BSD. Free.Free.Free. Free. BSD!

Whitey needs to update his mug shot with a New Red Sox cap.

Realize I don’t want to be a miser
Confide with sly you’ll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin’ upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser?

Give it away give it away give it away now

cheers!

OK, back to work for me. beer-thirty will be here before I know it.

Quick, but important OT;

Just when we thought Big Oil was gonna do us in…

Someone make a car that runs on water!

Honda’s had a hydrogen powered Accord in the works for a few years now, but you need a hydrogen tank in your garage for fuel.

The brilliance of the above prototype is the device in the car breaks down water to get the hydrogen.

Hope it’s real, because if it is, you could also power your house with rainwater!

When I walked into my brothers’ house to watch the game it was almost the end of the 1st quarter. He said:

The game is already over.

Wow. Check out this diary from Iowa with some amazing photos of the ongoing flooding:

I quit watching Obly wan konobly (olbermann) when he began covering the race between Obama and Hillary. I had pegged him as mysogist in some of his comments about coulter. (I dislike her intensely, but it was the content of his remarks that were sexist as far as I was concernedand I don’t care how much I dislike someone, sexism and racism are off my comfort zone). I really was very tolerant of people who would choose Obama over Hillary and could calmly and intelligently make that case. I was completely turned off by people who had a vehement emotional reaction to her, and often would wonder about the possibility of an “ism” lurking due to the intensity of the emotion. I said “wonder” not assume, I understand between a fact and a judgment.

HE also did alot of inferring that ALL female clinton supporters who were not supporting Obama were racist. (and voting Hillary because they were women). He seemed unable to see the irony in his position. Some probably are racist…and many women and men are also sexist. But it bothered me, because I had reasons for liking Hillary over Obama and they had nothing to do with her gender. I work in an organization whose mission statement is to end racism and I was truly torn. I would have leaned toward a black candidate or a female candidate over a white guy in the interest of affirmative action. However having them both in the race forced me to eliminate that bias. Both were equally deserving on that front. I am wholly behind Obama now. But still pretty ticked off with obly. I just really have lost respect for him. It makes me sad because he was my beacon of light at the end of a bush bias news day. But he has had a fall from grace in my eyes…and his comment about the very bright and effective ms sklar is absolutely sexist. Again. He needs to look at his mommy issues.

Straigh Talk McBush is going to do for America what he’s done for his family finances.

100K in credit card debt.

That’s not change we can believe in.

Jules Verne predicted this stuff long ago.

stop.contiune

lol @ Obly wan konobly

I quit the TV when the primaries started.

I guess I have to vote for:

Michael J. W. Stickings: Points out that yesterday’s 5-4 ruling on Gitmo detainees was perilously close, and “if McCain wins and gets his way, will go the other way in the future.”

cause that is what is on my mind. I don’t see an entry for it the poll tho.

Jules Verne predicted this stuff long ago.

Verne was a Celtics fan?

The water car.

I went with:

Steve Benen: Pew Report says 13% of French people have confidence in Bush to do the right thing, 84% trust Obama. Good luck on that European Farewell Tour, Mr. Preznit.

cause that has been on my mind too.

Participation in The Coalition of the Willing of European Union Member States have dropped to 29% from a high of 55% reducing the Multi-National Force-Iraq by 53% .

Why aren’t the pols pandering to the EU instead of APIAC?

tw3—
”DON’T” stop. continue…

thanks tw and punaise, haven’t listened to ’the red hot ones’ in forever…..wore that cd out….been years…..just put it on…….yayah.

lookout. that cd promotes movement and action…….

‘If it sounds too good to be true’ ….
There’s stuff that’s being left out, because as announced this violates at least one law of thermodynamics.
The lack of publicity when they made this announcement is also telling: no major news outlets there?

I’m inspired by the truth in your words! Forced me to crack open a Victory Hop Devil Ale. The sun is over the yardarm (somewhere).

The water car.

I was being facetious. You still need a considerable energy input to hydrolyze the water to free up the hydrogen. One of the things that I have never understood is why hydrogen is not seen as a viable energy storage medium for intermittent energy producers like wind and solar.

Hmmmm…no more rest stop breaks needed for the kiddies on those long trips? “…here, pee in this…”

Vrooooom!!! 40 more miles…

i had that on cassette, lol. wore it out.

F.D. Lakers fast break makers

kinds of the court shake and bake all takes

Blue Texan’s new post is up and ready for all who are interested!

Yeah, but the H2 energy I/O factors are quite well known.

And, I agree with you on using H2 to store solar and wind energy short-term.

The Judge with the donkey video.

Holy Cow!

er… …donkey

Another Republican is going to prison!

one of the best albums of that era…

tw and punaise—-i have a thing i do with the lightning bugs, one of my favorite things to do—-i found about ten years ago that because there are about 4 kinds that all blink at different rhythms, that any music goes with them…….have only found one that doesn’t–crowded house…….

i discovered this when i lived out in the country, had a big covered deck and had baba o’reilly playing……overwhemed me, have spent the last ten years doing it……all kinds of music, it all goes with them.

so, tonight, am gonna see how ’the red hot ones’ do…….pun, do you have lightning bugs there? well, it’s a blast……i’m like a little kid this time of year, poppin’ in a cd and watchin’ the light show….nuthin’ better.

people think i’m nuts until they try it……then they’re hooked, too……

Well, it’s documented on late nite how I feel about the Lakers but that had to hurt…
