Aloha, ES!

Joe the Plumber traffics in crap!

nice tunes es. i snuck a listen backstage and i especially like the second – it is a little bit of feel good indeed

evening
ES How Goes It??

Digg it Pups for ES and the Lake!!

Hey no Fair Suz

neener neener neener dood – tis one of the perks getting to see what’s posting next. is why i disqualified myself from the zed when i got the keys to backstage.

OK Suz you WIN(:>)) We poor little Pups will just havt’a make do(:>(

nahant u r faster than me

or at least your processor is faster than mine

well, I know THAT’S true…

dugg yer digg

Evening all… sorry I’m late, had to reboot.

wb, es!

Second is my favorite too. Both songs are on an album he put out this summer.. then he toured Europe with Elton John.

TY kindly…) Have to reboot a mac every week or two. Just to feel good.

HEY, teddy needs some DIGG help, please. Only 15 diggs for his great PROP 8 dollar for a dollar match, going on now! Please take 2 seconds to help defeat prop 8 in CA.

(prop 8 would amend the CA state constitution to define marriage as “between one man and one woman) you know, like “Separate, but Equal” – Yeah, that’s the ticket…

Just might be my connection also. I do have a fast connection!! But ya know at time I still wish it was faster… Gigabit via direct fibre would be great… They do have that available to the general public elsewhere in the world. But of course the way American Telco’s/ISP work they want as much as they can get for every bit of speed they give you!! Robbers, there is no excuse for this in the country that developed the internet! I blame the Rethuglians for all the derugulation they have done so their buddies can make as much profit from the public as they can. Dam Ferengies!

:-)
Kinda rushing things, ES?

nahant, I think he is dissing us!

it’s all about money

always has been

Yeah, otherwise Neuro, nahant, and myself wouldn’t stand a chance at the zed…! ;-)

yeap, wouldn’t be fair otherwise. and i did admit that i had done so so ya’ll would not wonder how the hell i had listened to both songs so quickly after posting.

My friends in Bejing have fiber to their apartments; censored of course. ;-)

Well. *s*

Oh, Suzanne, you are so very, very evil.

High speed sound??

I think Ian upped the amount of dollars (overall) in play in his post today. Did you see it?

Evil is as evil does.
Life is like a box of leaky condoms.
You think you are going to have fun but it turns out to be a big responsibility.

you just now figuring that out wigwam?

Mahalo, neuro for digging my diary, somebody left me a nasty gram tho at digg! ;-)

I can do with out the censoring… but ya know the NSA IS listening to everything electronic we do…. freaking bastards and We don’t listen to any one but the bad guys… guess the bad guys have opposite sex relationships also… Bet all those BushCo Rethuglians get off listening to our troops having phone sex with their wives and girlfriends!!

Dugg, but digg needs to figure out a way to digg without the rest of life on the tubes having to stop.

Definitely not a smooth transition back…!

He can keep his MAC does he want CHEESE on it also?? But he can’t build one from scratch like you can a PC, Oh did ya know they still have under 10% of the Market share…. Mac are for those too lazy to learn the real world /S

Right clicl on the link and open the wondow in a new tab or window… no need to go back and forth!!

I do believe that it has been shown that mac users have more money in the bank, higher levels of education and have sex much more often. And they are more often than not liberals.

Come on pu[ps it way too easy to switch between pages… * USAagainUSAagain

now you know who is doing their digging like good little pups!1

Sounds scary, but I’ll try it!

If I were Sarah Palin and was scheduled to appear on SNL tomorrow night and hadn’t seen a script, I’d be a little worried, improv has always been a tradition in comedy and I would be concerned that I might not get a script and be told just to improv.

Although I don’t think that Lorne Michaels (he is till in charge?) has the nads to blindside her, IMNSHO asking someone to improv is fair game.

SNL has a chance to make television history tomorrow night. I mean this is a comedy writer’s dream, I would love to prepare a sketch of a make believe appearance on Meet the Press and tell her don’t worry about a script just say whatever comes to mind and don’t try to be funny which is Comedy 101, don’t try to be funny. “Just be yourself, Sarah.”

I would give up everything I have to be able to direct her scene on SNL.

Maybe this isn’t too far-fetched, remember Fey only changed a few words of what Palin really said and was hilarious.

Mary you know that can’t be true as there are way more people with PC’s which means it is more plausible that the richer ones are in the PC world!! Just the numbers!! Just the numbers!

nahant, do you want first dibs? Or shall I…? 8-P

Well! MM,
I guess that it is a good thing for me that Mr. CE just got a brand new mac bookpro.

Are you calling me a liar? ok….. sometimes I lie.

But not tonight. That’s the ticket. Not tonight.

It is our 17th so maybe you can take care of the light stuff?8-P

Ya also left out the fact you need more money for a Mac…! ;-)

Did you just buy a Mac in hopes of a really cool life?! I’ll give you the main points, fer sure.

No. for the sex.

Shhhhh…
You’ll give the secret away…

Hey, what I said!

i am so looking forward to snl – and this is the first season i’ve felt that way about snl in years.

Your pants are on fire, Mary! 8-P

Not if you really want to build a screamer of a Pc with Xeon quad processor , high end mother board, Video card 8 -12 gig memory, 1 gig video and Blueray burning capabilities. I could easily spend 5 -10 grand building a killer machine… but $$ does limit what I can do.. oh and of course multiply nicks that can be bound together so you can take full advantage of your internet connection!!

Ma! nahant’s talking dirty again…

Thanks to everybody who voted at DailyKos in tonight’s Hell-to-Pay voting — Equality for All: No On Prop 8 won!

Tomorrow, at the Great Orangerie, we’ll try to outraise every other candidate this season for Hell-to-Pay money, so please check over there during the day, with a donation of any size if you possibly can.

Also, please remember, every dollar you donate to No On Prop 8 gets matched dollar-for-dollar this weekend!

I never call anyone a liar Mary but… only you know for sure Mary /S

By the way how goes it out there on the river?

Reelecting on the history of SNL, I wonder what George Carlin would;d have to say about Sarah Palin. I also wonder what Tim Russert would have to say about anyone being considered for the number 2 job without making a MTP appearance.

No, I missed it. So, the Wikipedia article on CDSs, IIRC, stated $60T in play. Obviously the question is: “What does that mean?”

If you look at the number and value of transactions per month, you get some idea of the flow of money in dollars per month. But, the question is how to separate the volume of money from the per-dollar velocity of money. If we cut the amount of dollars in half but each dollary (on average) moved twice as fast, we’d have the same transaction flow of money.

But, for us in the real-world economy, it is the aggregate flow of money, not the volume nor the average velocity, that is of concern to us.

IMHO, the best way for the govt to stimulate the economy is to give money to the people who’ll spend it in America on goods and services that are most likely to be purchased in America. IMHO, that’s poor and lower-middle class people.

I’m very, very tired of the upper class trickling down on me.

Oh my eyes are getting weary! REFLECTING

WOOHOO!

snoopy happy dance teddy

Dry. Not hot.
I need to take a trip soon to the bay area. I needs it.

Say hello when you do(:>))

Yes indeed.

I’m very, very tired of the upper class trickling downpissing on me.

Fixed! ;-)

I have been sitting at the puter for hours and need to move away from the box. See you all tomorrow.

sad but true dat

Mike Malloy is saying Michelle Bachmann said she wanted to have sex with Jesus.

Bay Buchanan says that Palin is the smartest VP pick ever, When Gergen said that “intellectuls” on the right like David Brooks had expressed an opposite view. Bay tried to turn the word intellectual into a pejorative. Bay has really gone off the deep end since her plastic surgery and her new “intellectual-looking glasses.”

She is more clueless than ever.

g’nite mary mcc

Excellent news Teddy! I’m shaking my piggy bank now. Will be there in la manana!

Night Mary Sleep the sleep of the children with Happy dreams!!

He got into the hundreds of trillions today. My eyes begin to glaze on anything over a couple hundred trillion. /s

Aloha, Mary!

You can do that with a “PC?”

OT, Monday nite I won’t be around, I’ll be atop Mauna Kea! 8-)

gonna miss monday nite football?

(laughing) i’m forking jealous dood

If you have the money you sure can… Just look at the Frys ads and others like it.Start with a Sever class mother board that will mount four different Xeonn Quad processors… Some will accommodates up around 16 Gigs of Memory+ and you go from there. Of course you will then the 64bit operating system which Microsoft t is already pedaling… You can build now what 5 years ago would be close to a Cray Super Computer!!

Picture @ 11???

I’ve been away from the machine, just stopped back by to read yer all’s comments and say good nite!

Was it William Proxmire who said, a billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon yer talkin about real money?

a hundred trillion here, a hundred trillion there…

Heh, Yep and it’s with my Broncos squaring off against my Wife’s Patsies…! Go figure…! ;-)

nite Neuro!!

Like I mentioned earlier, Neuro, Mahalo for the digg on my diary! Aloha!

The two McCains: Local family traces roots back to plantation owned by Sen. John McCain’s great-great-grandfather

by Kristin Longley | The Flint Journal
Friday October 17, 2008, 10:11 PM

GRAND BLANC, Michigan — Lillie and Joyce McCain harbor no resentment for the presidential candidate who shares their name.

Growing up in Mississippi on what was once the plantation land of Sen. John McCain’s great-great-grandfather, the sisters always knew their family had descended from slaves belonging to the McCain family.

….

Every other year, the many heirs of Isom and the family of another slave who also took the McCain name gather for a reunion, which is now attended by members of the white McCain family — including John McCain’s younger brother, whom Lillie McCain familiarly calls “Joe.”

“We all call each other ‘cousin,’” she said.

In a statement issued to The Wall Street Journal, John McCain said the black McCains are “an example for all citizens.”

“How the Teoc descendants have served their community and, by extension, their country is a testament to the power of family, love, compassion and the human spirit,” he said.

….

This is how groove and funk is, East Bay Grease Style.

That white boy above sadly lacks the funk, or the grease.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..re=related

*G*

TOP, and Lenny Williams up front, from ‘73.

With the greatest drummer of all time for funk-David Garibaldi. NO one touches him. *G*

I forgot to include

The tale of the two families is particularly meaningful on the eve of this historic election, in which Sen. Barack Obama is the first black presidential nominee of any major political party. Lillie McCain and her siblings are supporting Obama because they feel he’s better suited for the job, but they have nothing but respect for John McCain.

I deal, from time to time, with the powers of two: 2^0 = 1, 2^1 = 2, 2^2 = 4, 2^3 = 8, …, 2^10 = 1024 ~ 1,000, …, 2^20 ~ 1,000,000, …, 2^30 ~ 1,000,000,000, …, 2^40 ~ 1,000,000,000,000, …

In other words, if you double 1 fourty times, you’re talking more than a trillion. Modern computers use numbers in the range of 2^64 ~ 16,000,000,000,000,000,000, which I think means 16 exadollars, but I’m not sure.

Well hands are hitting their limit of functioning for the evening so good night all you good pups!! sleep the the sleep of the kids and dream the dreams of children!!

THAT’S how you shake yer booty and dance, ES. *G*

Hey Suzanne,
Very late, and we are reflecting on our trip to Edinburgh and in particular listening to Andy M. Stewart of Silly Wizard.

Was it William Proxmire who said, a billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon yer talkin about real money?

YUP!!

Well now, Grandpa Larue, give these young whippersnappers a little slack…and a horn section. *G*

G’nite, nahant.

sleep well nahant

Aloha, nahant!

Just home from the Mat-Su Democrats’ monthly Egan dinner in Wasilla. There was a Belgian film crew filming us, and Laura McGann, formerly of TPM Muckraker, now writing for the Washington Independent, was there too. Laura’s cool!

The recall initiative proposal gaining momentum, but I did talk to some Mat-Su Dems who are afraid Sarah will get us all, when she returns, pissed at her defeat.

g’nite neuro (and any other leaving sleepy pup i may have missed while aiding token’s tree saving efforts)

Stay close. To us!

(sigh) its on my list yanno

Alaskans prefer a recall effort instead of pushing for impeachment?

Hey ET! What’s up with the $45 Mil price tag for the e-mails? Where on Earth did they get those numbers from?

g’nite nahant

that’s way forking kewl, et

Just home from the Mat-Su Democrats’ monthly Egan dinner in Wasilla. […]

The recall initiative proposal gaining momentum, but I did talk to some Mat-Su Dems who are afraid Sarah will get us all, when she returns, pissed at her defeat.

There is no doubt that she will try; who wouldn’t prefer to be on the offense?

But, IMHO, you Alaska Democrats have been playing this superbly. When Sarah gets back after her defeat, she’ll have some splainin’ to do. I recommend pressing your advantage.

and hopefully her loss removes the money of the RNC from taking care of her lawyers fees etc. the RNC has been providing the rapid response team for her and that should all poof if they lose bad enough. i think she is gonna be the one shoved under the election bus.

I do think we have the advantage. The only troubling thing right now to me is that the Kos polls on her popularity here, that came out today, still show her at 63% popularity, after the Branchflower Report has had a few days to be digested. That was where she stood before the report’s release.

ES – we’ll see what the legislative makeup is, after he election. The recall movement is partially being tooled up to put pressure on the legislature, when they convene in January.

The big money fundies will have to back her. If they do, we will know it’s due to the fact they want to bring her back to the spotlight for Senate or VP sometime soon.

yeap, if she has access to that money, she’s gonna be the hope of 2012. if she is tossed under the bus, then we gotta figure out who the new great hope is

Good luck figuring that out.
If 6 months ago, I had told you that Ni would be in this spot, you would have never let me in your house for fear that I was massively, virulently insane.

You got your foxfur on,
You’re walkin out that door . . .

*G*

Shake YER booty to this. I did, from ‘69 thru ‘76 in the Bay Area.

And they never were bad, no matter what the lineup changes were.

Hell, Friday or Saturday night at Fillmore, or Winterland it was Elvin Bishop Band, TOP, and someone else.

Hundreds of times. *G*

Knock Yerself Out!

Palin will be lucky to avoid an indictment by the time the Obama Justice Department gets done with her and all the other Republican crooks.

Yah hoss, see, it’s the hip shakin and back beat drivin horns along with the magic of Garibaldi and whoever was up front on vocals.

And if you played horn for TOP, you had to sing backup.

They were incredible!! *G*

Damn stuff these days . . . ;-)

ok, pups, that’s it for me tonight. g’nite all

nite suz

Damn I ask for 2 seconds of people’s time and I get TWO diggs out of it for TEDDY?

Pitiful.

Why do I bother?

PLEASE DIGG

CNN radio news just reported that McCain is going to ask Joe the Plumber to campaign with him. The MSM needs to demand that the crazy old fuck release his complete medical records. Dementia is setting in!

G’nite! I didn’t realize it was midnight. I must be getting manic again.

Fading fast myself.

Good night firedogs

nite eureka
i’m out, too

Aloha, Ya’ll! Sleep tight!

That moron on Hardball tonight, Congresswoman Michelle Bachman (MN-06) manged to raise over $21,660 since her appearance for her opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg !

http://www.actblue.com/page/nonewmccarthy

Over 91k all told.

PS: That video – she begs for the media to do an “In-Depth investigation”. I hope they start with a thorough examination of the antics of the Congresswoman from MN-06.

That Sarah Palin is one unreal Alaskan

GUEST COLUMNIST

I’m sitting on my bearskin chair beside the woodstove, in Kotzebue, Alaska, 50 miles above the Arctic Circle, while outside the ocean begins to freeze over. Inside I have about 49 things piling up to say to you, America.

http://www.editorandpublisher……1003875230

Yep that meter is spinnin’ like crazy maybe Tweety will use it as his Big Number , I sent him a note about it.

Good morning. Anyone up?

Good morning, pups. It’s Collins, Blow and Herbert today. Ms. Collins wants to know “Is Anybody Happy?” She says Americans are in a very low state about the presidential election. Once again we’ve hit that magic moment when both sides are sure they’re going to lose. Mr. Blow looks ahead to “Nov. 5, 2008″ and says a perfect storm of poor judgments has set the stage for a Barack Obama victory. On Nov. 5, he will be one of the most powerful presidents in recent American history. Mr. Herbert writes about “Climbing Down the Ladder.” He says losing a home to foreclosure is a disaster for anyone, but it’s a catastrophe for older people.

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got yeast waffles with Vermont maple syrup or spiced peach sauce. My plan for cleaning up the garden beds will have to be postponed until tomorrow, unless I decide to go out and work in the rain. Nah — I’ll stay out in a drizzle, but this is a steady rain. Hoover is annoyed with me. He’s convinced that I control the weather and that it’s my fault when he can’t go out and play in the garden, and I get a VERY reproachful look when he realizes it’s raining. Have a great day.

mornin’

Morning mack, Marion.

Got a house guest coming at noon and have lots of stuff to do before then, so as soon as I finish coffee, I must be off & running.

forecast is sunny and 60 here in Chi today
the drizzle is all in my head – literally

Mr Blow? Is Larry Kudlow writing for the Times now has the Grey Lady no standards?

CSPAN reporting the absolutely dismal consumer sentiment numbers.

First of all, George W. Bush showed up on TV Friday morning to reassure the nation. What could possibly be worse?

Everybody knows that anything our president says is very likely wrong, and certainly won’t happen. If he announced: “I’m sending government agents to Spokane to arrest the looters,” we would expect that the officials would get lost, nobody would be arrested, and the looters probably never existed in the first place.

http://mgpaquin.wordpress.com/

She is too kind and to wordy Bush talks about the economy 9 times out of ten the Stock Market will go down.

So Christmas sales will tank this year?

Sunny & mid-50s in Hudson Valley. It’s been warmer so far but a colder front came thru last night.

22, foggy and cloudy this morning where I am eCAHN — for anyone who can’t tell that there is a major difference between the Hudson Valley and the Southern tier, this morning is IT.

Absolutely. The UMich sentiment number reported for the first half of October was 57.5. The lowest monthly number (since 1954 when they started the survey) was around 52 in 1980 when Carter told consumers to put away their credit cards. That was followed by one of the sharpest drops in consumer spending in the post WWII period, then policy was reversed and a rebound occurred. There was only one recession when consumer sentiment bottomed as low as high 50s, 74-75. In all other recessions, it bottomed in the low 60s or higher. And sentiment hasn’t stopped dropping yet, there is no stimulus package on the horizon, and layoffs will accelerate.

Worse than that, is that policy makers are oblivious to the dismal fundamental condition of consumer incomes and balance sheets.

Charles M. Blow. Here’s his info page from the NYT.

Yep. It’s 34 here now.

The stores here are already starting with Christmas trees and such. There’s a reek of desperation. The sad thing is that the big box and department stores will probably weather the storm but many small stores will be forced out of business.

Yeah, a good Wal-Mart environmnet, more’s the pity.

…and one of the funkiest bass players of all time, Rocco. Man, doesn’t get much better than 1970s TOP…and they’ve been fightin the good fight for decades:

“Tell that to your kids while you’re drivin them downtown, that There’s Only So Much Oil in the Ground!”

OK, folks..everyone have a good day; I’m off to the land fill and farmer’s market, then to help out with, God help us, a bike rodeo at a local park.

Have a great day. Keep warm.

Ms. Collins wants to know “Is Anybody Happy?” She says Americans are in a very low state about the presidential election…

Huh? I’ve never seen such excitement for an election in my lifetime, although being an insulated Repub I can see why Collins would feel that way as her Party is about to suffer historic defeats. She can cry if she wants to.

Like Michelle Bachmann, keep talkin Repubs. You’re about to feel the power that is Elwyn Tinkelberg! Bring it on.

Good Morning everyone. I saw the Bachman fiasco, too. Isn’t it lurerly when they reveal their inner hatefulness?

I dunno. Garibaldi is a monster, but there’s so many. In Gadd We trust, bro.

R inner hatefulness has always been apparent to me. Hopefully it’s now becoming apparent to those who hadn’t noticed before.

Josh has a video of Palin supporters waiting in line to get into a rally in Johnstown, PA (my mother’s home town btw). It’s really disturbing.

Oh I thought it was a nickname like “bobo”

I’m off for now. Enjoy your days.

Later eCHAN

Josh has a video of Palin supporters waiting in line to get into a rally in Johnstown, PA (my mother’s home town btw). It’s really disturbing.

“Disturbing” is putting it mildly.

Part of the shame of it all is 95% of the people in this video will be far better off under Obama’s administration, but won’t be the slightest bit thankful for it.

More on Bachmann

A day earlier at a debate in St. Cloud with her Democratic opponent, Elwyn Tinklenberg, Bachmann spoke kindly of Obama.

“If the presidency would somehow go to Barack Obama, I would welcome him to the 6th District as well,” Bachmann said after the debate. “As a matter of fact, I would put my hand on his shoulder and give him a kiss if he wanted to” – a reference to when Bachmann gained notoriety for grabbing President Bush’s shoulder after his 2007 State of the Union address and holding on until he kissed her.

Since her appearance on Hardball, while you were sleeping, the netroots raised $100,000 dollars for Elwyn Tinklenberg !

http://www.actblue.com/page/nonewmccarthy

bwwahahaha
It would be sweet to see her unseated

buenos dias

Mornin’ All,

Bachman Opponent Tinklenberg says Thanks!

Tinklenberg has a diary at DKos thanking everyone. He’s amazed at the reaction.

Thanks for the link I gave it a rec & passed it on, a little bit of feel good for the day

Come upstairs and Pull Up A Chair
