woohoo mary - when are you off probation?

Not sure… I think my son yanked out one of the wires when he was moving them around!

Is there still not a new comments section and show text thingie?

Seems like a good crowd ya got here at the Lake tonight, but i really gotta turn in. Night dogs!! And Suze, I didn’t vote in TedFest. I’m not doing contests anymore. You know what a pain in the ass I can be.

Working on all these issues.

worse. the other day i decided to finally start using spellcheck. mine ain’t workin’ tonight. oh well. tomorrow’s another day. Nite all.

Not complainin’ ya know. I’m a big boy.

remind him of that when he asks for his allowance :)

Damn, I’m gettin so paranoid. WTF kind of article is this just as the global warming debate is “heating up.?

Fossil Suggests Antarctica Much Warmer in Past

http://news.yahoo.com/s/livesc…..rmerinpast

It says a “college student” actually at North Dakota State, not in Antarctica, has made this amazing discovery. Take that Al Gore and you thousands of Nobel Prize-winning scientists!!

Right on the Yahoo frontpage. Falls right into the “Oh, it’s just natural temperature fluctuations and has nothing to do with global warming, you crazy Liberal!” which I’ve been getting a lot recently. This, right after last week I hear about a huge chunk of Antarctica melting away decades earlier than predicted.

Just amazing at how coordinated all this messaging is.

g’nite bfl - yes, i do remember but i’m not running this contest so go be yourself and vote dood

Digg it!

and how low down the totem pole it goes…. now using students to get the message out when their bullshit about global climate change didn’t work

dugg and thanks neuro for opening it

well — and i’m not just saying this — i thought they were all good, so i don’t wanna single anyone out. Congratulations again on the house deal and don’t forget St. Joe.

Leaving, and goodnite.

Yep. And it’s not about maintaining scientific rigor throughout the coming months of inquiry - it’s about getting it out there and letting it get kicked around on teevee.

Crazy Frenchmen.

g’nite christine

nite chris

Suz didn’t I just hear this recently??
I did digg Neuro’s Dugg
Did you Digg Nero’s Digg?
You know you should Digg because you can digg it is really easy to DIGG!!

Chooo Choo Ch’boogie

i’m hearing an echo

exactly - all about getting the message out without regard to whether the message is truthful or not

Wow, things are looking up here in Redneckville.

East county is buzzing about retired Navy SEAL Commander Mike Lumpkin running as a Democrat for California’s 52nd Congressional District. With over $300,000 in campaign contributions to date, Commander Lumpkin has raised tens of thousands of dollars more than any Democratic candidate in the history of the 52nd Congressional District.

Now if they’d just make use of the people who’ve tried to volunteer, we might actually have a chance to keep Lil’ Duncan from inheriting his poppa’s seat.

latest ARG poll gives GWs asshole better job approval ratings than HE gets- on the other hand- McCain seems to have a minor surge goin against Obama…

Too early for anything significant- but Obama would sleep better if it were goin the other way..

Watch Ohio

is he a real D or a rethug in dino clothing?

Thanks for the Digg nahant

Nate at 538:

For the first time since shortly after clinching the Democratic nomination, we now have Barack Obama as less than a 60 percent favorite to win the election. Our simulations presently project Obama to win the election 58.4 percent of the time, with McCain winning the remaining 41.6 percent.

The main culprit for the decline are the new numbers out of Ohio, where Rasmussen shows John McCain jumping into a 10-point lead. We have already discussed this particular poll at length. Are the changes caused by differences in measuring party identification? No, not really. Rasmussen assumes a slightly redder electorate than other pollsters, but Obama’s numbers had declined among Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike. Could there be problems related to the sampling of young voters in this survey, who went surprisingly strongly for McCain? That is a more viable explanation. But it still would not account for the entirety of the decline.

There is also new polling out from American Research Group, which has Florida and New Hampshire moving in John McCain’s direction. In Florida, Obama now trails by 2 after having led by 5 points, and in New Hampshire, he leads by 2 after having led by 12.

what is ARG? i keep thinking it is the north vietnam army (wasn’t their acronym similar?)

Gear Masher.

Well, just as a non-academic, non-scientist I have merely taken note of the very large number of pieces of big ice that have completely melted away faster than the scientists predicted. In my lifetime the number of glaciers in OMG Glacier Park has been reduced almost in half. Now they are talking about actually being able to sail a boat across the Arctic North Pole. That glacier that covers Greenland is losing 5 million gallons of water per day.

But it’s not happ’nin. Mr. Senator. James. Inhofe. says. so.

American Research Group

Right now, Team McCain needs to go huge on this “Obama was against the Surge™” crap. What else do they have? The economy?

And as long as Team Obama allows the perception that the Surge™ worked, and doesn’t go all-out to disprove it, McCain wins the argument.

Depends on how you define real Democrat I guess. As far as I know he’s never been a Republican. I did a little Q&A with his campaign awhile back, and while he seems more conservative than I am, it sure as shit beats the alternative. Can read his thoughts on some issues here, if you’re interested

sing

Don’t know if that’s gonna work well. I don’t think most americans give a fuckin shit about who was right/wrong about the surge…it’s more about them deciding that Obama is a black guy who they are willing to vote for- and that won’t be an easy decision for many people.

Here was his stance on FISA, and this was back in March.

2: What is your view on the current FISA debate, particularly in regards to telcom immunity?

FISA should never have been expanded. The government’s ability to spy was extensive enough already. The government is failing us in so many ways right now, this can just be added to the list. I want a safe, secure country. I have lived my life trying to secure exactly that. Frankly, the reason I joined the service was to defend my country’s beautiful liberties and secure them for future generations of Americans. Some attribute the following quote to Benjamin Franklin “Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” No one can express the ideology of our democracy better than one of the founders.

As far as telecommunications immunity, my understanding is that legal culpability is determined in context. It is quite a thing to have the power of the executive branch of the government pointed in your direction making demands. Lack of courage to say “no” under such circumstances is no surprise. I think courts are well equipped to unravel this type of legal factual minutia and get to a just result. Immunity from the law is something to be dolled out sparingly.

That poll is a fluke in Ohio. Every other one shows Obama ahead. Including Quinnipiac.

I don’t know what McCain has said or done that makes his numbers go up. Except say more dumb sh*t.

I don’t know what Obama has said or done that would make his numbers go down.

Oh wait. There is a new smear email making the rounds. It says that Obama is going to force everyone to learn Spanish. Because of all the 14 million illegals who ‘refuse to learn English’. So Obama ‘arrogantly struts across a stage’ and informs the rest of us that because they won’t learn English we all have to learn Spanish.

Dumb. And Dumber.

thanks :)

Not too bad here.

sweet… love replacing crappy r’s with d’s :)

There was a carbonated beverege called Surge for a while.

As I recall, it was not successful.

Don’t see them around now, anyhow.

save surge

Life without a Hunter in congress would be very pleasant- or a Bilbray- or an Issa….

Just thinkin about it makes me want a margarita.

I’m not saying it’s an argument worth winning, but it puts some distance between them.
Like I said, what else do they have? Can’t very well trot Gramm or Lieberman out there to talk about, well, anything of substance.

And I’m not conceding the point. Obama shouldn’t either.

It’s actually an open seat, Duncan Hunter the elder is retiring, but his son is running for the seat. Mostly seems to be running on name recognition and seeing how many times he can mention Jesus and the dreaded brown menace.

oh that sounds yummy - wanna pour one into the tubes for me rw?

HoJo being… well, HoJo…

Lieberman said he had been urged not to speak to Hagee’s group, Christians United for Israel.

“The bond that I feel with Pastor Hagee and each and every one of you is much stronger than that, and so I am proud to stand with you tonight,” Lieberman told several thousand members of the group, which urges U.S. support for Israel.

“I don’t agree with everything that Pastor Hagee’s done and said … but there is so much more important than that that we agree on,” Lieberman said.

retiring before being indicted i hope

Sure-

On the rocks or blended? salt?

In times past the antarctic was not at the South Pole and was attached to Australia but that was just a few years ago… has something to do with plate tectonics’s and the continents moving around on the surface of the planet… North Dakota ya say they mustn’t have taught him any geophysics!! IIRC /S

fuck - lieberlier is trotting out the harry reid song and dance - he’s with us on everything but the war my ass

Well, I see the Save Surge guy cut and ran…

blended, lotsa salt on the rim please and thank you

does that mean its ok to cut and run on the other surge now?

Someone needs to ask RGJoe about New Orleans. Soon.

It’s WAY early- and the polls are lagging behind events by a week and a half- but this ain’t lookin like a runaway for Obama at this point.

Joe is not with us.

Joe is not with Hary Reid.

Joe is with Joe.

My Pleasure—

It may be an omen

Obama’s in favor of the surge- he just wants to move it

Harry. Well, you knew who I meant.

joe is with mcsame

spelling police are not allowed down here in the comments.

otherwise, i would be inna world of hurt

I would take exception to that but I am not in congress… now if you are talking about The Duncan or his spawn I would agree with you on that. Not all Hunters are assholes!

only as long as Joe perceives it to be to Joe’s advantage to be with McSame

just like all r’s are not pond scum sucking lowlifes lower than a pregnant snake

Doubt it, though he had some connection to what the Dukester was mixed up in, he doesn’t seem to have been quite so blatant about it. The guy was always a rightwing asshole, but I’ve never heard about much in the way of illegal behavior. Plus, his office was always nice enough to reply to all my mail, no matter how hostile I was.

Now see what you made me go and do? Actually had to say something nice about Duncan Hunter, I feel so dirty now, and not in the fun way.

Remember, it was “connecticut for lieberman,” not “lieberman for connecticut”

too bad for joe that we have very long memories…he’s betting it all on mcsame winning. he’s gonna end up the proxac poster child doing late nite tv infomercials

Either way, 3 lies for the price of one.

Like how you just misspelled fork, Suz? ;-)

Suze - Tom Jones!

Tom Jones is STILL a BAD MAN! When I was a kid I thought he was SO un-hip and boy HOWDY was I ever wrong?

Tom Jones is one of the greatest.

Or do you mean this kind or Margaritaville

error by ass - it was his big cheney to the d’s and in his over eagerness to flip us all off he showed his true inner ugly. its all about him and what’s in it for him. he’s got all his eggs in one basket and they are gonna go splat.

Human interest story of the day:

“Dogs trained for bestiality to be spared”

raw story
http://rawstory.com//news/2008....._0722.html

Suz you know we know you are the exception!! And I do know a couple of others but we don’t talk politics… Boy and let me tell ya thats hard for me!

dood, my mom and i used to laugh at the ladies tossing their underroo’s onstage during his shows on tv. dood can sing the blues tho…

sometimes a fuck just has to be a fuck and not a fork ct

Dammit, another Hi and Bye, been a little busy.
I would REALLY like to thank you all for the kind words after I bailed last night, I caught them this morning.
You fuckin guys are alright, ya know that?

what an evil omelet that will make!

geez…

hey busted - we think you are pretty fucking alright yourself dood - g’nite

no flies on this one either:

4: Your view on the use of private contractors, such as Blackwater, in a war zone?

I believe that Blackwater violates the intent of the 2nd Amendment which declares “a well-regulated militia as being necessary to the security of a free State.” Blackwater, and the almost 200 other organizations like them are almost completely UNregulated. The military code does not apply to them, which is highly problematic. Additionally, I do not believe it is in the best interests of the US tax payers to have to pay these contractors. Organizations like Blackwater are driving up our defense costs. US tax payers pay for the training of military experts, like SEALS. The cost of such training is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. After completing this training, they receive military pay. Unfortunately, Blackwater type organizations can pay up to $1500 per day as compared to $1500 per week and we lose many as soon as they are able. This hurts the US tax payer even more because now the military has to pay exorbitant re-enlistment bonuses to try to keep them. Then who ends up paying them their new large contract salaries? The US tax payers again.

I remember that TV series about the 60’s, with the girl who danced on some TV show. They had Nick Lashay portraying Tom Jones, even let him sing. It was so fucking wrong on so many levels. Nick Lashay sounded like a little kid doing a bad imitation. Way too high a voice for that.

Now where have I heard that before????

Sendin the pups to Utah- for some reason….punishment?

Is it wrong that I find it hilarious that one of the dogs is named Lucky?

we wove you busted:>)

Not wrong- just different

i thought i was wrong that they were going to the best friends sanctuary

Police found Santorum press clippings scattered around the studio apartment.

*innocent look* scuffing at dirt uh uh on one of them cable show?

had me confused for a minute there until I backtracked, rw

I thought you meant sending us to Utah.

What could we ever have done to deserve that?

Bonnie, still my favorite!

Aloha, BK!

Oh wow, I hope this guy went quick.

be here thur for a real fav or yours that guy

Well, better than finding Santorum scattered around the apartment.

poor guy - once ya start it is dayam hard to stop

I remember that too, but in the very early ’90s, I went to a WB studio party and Tom Jones was the band. I was blown the FUCK away. His band was tighter than the tightest snare drum head and Jones was spellbinding. He did his hits, the blues, rock and roll, techno, you name it, that cat can do it…

He is a global treasure. It will be sad when he finally leaves us, but what a legacy!

Actually, to be honest, I was very, very touched.
Thank you SO much.
