Aloha, ES!
Where’d everybody go…? ;-)
I think this music is so great, we aren’t here yet…
I love long or short-haired freaky people….
CT sent you a website with warm clothes like boby wear at late night last comment yesterday. Chack it out.
Evening all… hot chocolate chocolate cookies just out of the oven…)
Evening ES how goes it ?
well as long as they are not carving stuff on their face in order incite hate in others….
Eureka! Nice set.
that was supposed to be “face” not fact.
I did chack it out last nite! The Helley-Hanson link I presume…? ;-)
Helley-Hansen has a three way system for high altitude or cold water. I have had the LIFA polypropylene for 15 year top and long underwear which is warm in cold water. Check it out skiers mountain climbers and seriously cold people wear it. Off shore drilling rigs in the North sea. You will not chill and just take off a couple of layers. Good viewing the universe CT. Best from BB.
This week’s debate for CA-52 has some hilarity going on. Third question was on global warming, and first up, Duncan Hunter Jr, accompanied by much laughter.
Did you say long-haired freaky people?
OK pups The DIGG is now OPEN! You know what to do so get them shovels out and start DIGGING!!
Yep good but probably expensive.
I did indeed, nice link, as above so below….
Obama continues to climb in the polls as do dem sentors. Nice. More endosements. Maybe with a majority in bothe houses we can get something done. Of course Impeachment will be back on the table. S)
They didn’t show any prices when I queried certain articles…!
nice set es – thank you and dugg
Fine, thanks nahant. Lots of cool air, almost time for the first fire. Time to start baking breads again. Beautiful fall colors… Call me Eureka Paradiso this week…)
Must be Kool Aid in that water bottle, Hannibal…! ;-)
Guys! EPU’d:
Oh good grief:
Political Darwin Award of the year if you ask me.
Nice!
Dang we have been have the buck Stove for the last two weeks at night as it has been cooling down to the 40’s late in the night! But I got my two cords of Almond all stacked, covered and ready for the stove! Love the constant heat/warmth of a wood burner always on.
I just figured out the Menaham Strret Band is a relatively new record… they run with Sharon Jones and the Dap Tones crowd… and brand new 45 records are going for 5.00 apiece these days!
Junior says whatever the far right wants to hear. One nice thing about that debate, they let the Libertarian play too, quixotic kook that he is.
CNN story here.
Hope all the rovian tricksters get the message. The fox media needs to wear this one. Wonder if it is worth a senate seat.
OK, roughing it survival question for ya.. which came to my mind when the hurricane took out my power for a few days. We often lose power in winter in these parts, but the last few years (since I moved back up here) have been pretty mild. Anyway.. if my power goes out in winter, at what point (low temp) should I be worried about my computer, anything above freezing OK?
Drudge had to eat shirt, too…!
Well, if she truly needs help then she gets a pass in my book.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy…
if things keep on going this way for another week, a Free Ashley Todd defense fund might just be able to out fundraise the mcpalin campaign…
The Low temperatures you experience there won’t hurt a computer which would have no problem running at below zero temps. But if you are worried just leave it running and it will keep it’s self nice and toasty!
I guess I reserve judgement on the “if she really needs help” part, depending on what we learn as this goes on. Though if there is a true mental health issue, the details are none of our business.
Did he actually apologize or correct himself?
Drudge had to eat
shirtSHIT, too…!Small correction CT!
I agree wholeheartedly! But, I have no remorse for the slime that crassly politicized the episode…!
The swine merely corrected himself…!
D’accord, mon frere.
I was trying to be polite…! ;-)
Part 6 has a kind of scary moment, Lumpkin mentions that when Junior was in the 8th grade, Lumpkin was down in South and Central America doing counterinsurgency operations. Considering some of the fucked up shit America’s been involved with south of the border, I’m not all that sure it’s a good thing, but it gave me visions of him putting a horse’s head in some chairman’s bed to make them more cooperative.
Though it would be interesting to see how he’d be treated in D.C. a junior congressman, but one who not only knows where the bodies are buried, but probably buried some himself.
I agree that if she is really mentally ill, she deserves help and a pass on her behavior. However, there are a lot a people out there who just think that anything goes in order to “win”, that behaviour may seem “mentally challenged” to decent people, but maybe it is just rotten.
(Site issues, Mods? Just got a partial-refresh at ew’s place.)
Thanks.. I was thinking mostly about if I lose power… but if for some reason it got real cold I figured the best place to put it would be inside the refrigerator.
We lost power for a couple of weeks in a couple of feet of snow with highs about 3 degrees the entire time, twenty years ago. It’s the worst case winter scenario which I try to be more than semi prepared for each year.

When was a Vice Presidential candidate of the USA deposed for criminal evidence of their crime? Just an unbelievable campaign.
Parting shot
;~P
Seems fine here.
Try closing that particular tab, then reload it. And please let us know. Thanks.
It’s a point. Just how extreme does the R party’s customary frightened-ninnyism have to be before you’re in legitimate mental health land?
Came back fine on the next refresh. Looked like a missing CSS thing as well FWIW.
More fuckery brought to you by the perpetrators of uncle Milty Friedman’s “Economic Theories“!
I wonder just how many people have lost their lives because of those failed theories!
Exactly.
…long harried bloggy people…
Does Lumpkin have a chance of winning?
I resemble that remark….
OK, this is depressing, just as I leave — who has jukebox?
OK – I lied… One more. Noah Hunt on vocals this time. Not live.
zzzzz.
really should be a problem, But you know if you got that solar system it would be a moot point!
Our construction plans have been submitted to the City! We are getting closer to being a Solar power generation plant!!

I felt thoroughly vindicated in my beliefs when saint Alan Greenspan admitted that his whole worldview of trickle down economics has been laid to waste.
You’re such a blogmom even when you’re off duty! Thanks Suz, all is fine now.
dayam, busted again (laughing)
Scales falling off of eyeballs all around these days.
Naw, it’s endearing.
Dam forgot the operative word NOT
Part 7 had some interesting moments, candidates asked which presidential candidate’s tax plan they preferred. Lumpkin talked more about out of control spending than the tax proposals, which seemed like kind of a dodge to me. The Libertarian did have a great idea when it came to taxes. Allow people to make the same deductions that corporations do. Junior of course had a “McCain is teh AWESOMEST!” response. And got booed for calling Obama’s tax plan socialism.
I only hope it is more than for convenience…..
So am I the only one who just finally started feeling in the last 24 hours that Our Long National Nightmare really might be ending soon?
Nite!
nahant, if there is no power, ya can’t keep the computer running to stay toasty – is there a hazard to the system if exposed to a hard freeze?
He might, if you believe the stuff about the leaked internal GOP poll on the race, showing him with a 3 point lead. Junior’s got a huge money advantage, but I think the whole dynasty thing is a big turn off with a lot of people. Plus, Junior can’t exactly try the “San Francisco liberal elitist” schtick with Lumpkin.
g’nite christine e (and any other leaving sleepy pup i may have missed)
I will… house is paid off in about 18 months, doG willin’, then the solar will come into play.
Try brushing your teeth and rinsing…
Sweet dreams Christine.
Hey, I’m still listening to KWS. Nice!

Marcy doesn’t mince her words…
Interesting… what you are doing would also make a good Ox diary too.. since we will want this info far into the future.
Shouldn’t be. Just remember how dam cold they keep computer server rooms. Heat is the real enemy as the electronics can go into Thermal overshoot! ie they bits and bytes are no longer being processed the way they should.
Good on you! I’m thinking sell this place, take the cash, and buy what we can outright. It’ll be less, or it’ll be far away, but I think we can make it work. No mortgage is a great place to be.
snoring of to unconsciousmess…have fun.
Eh, 8 bits per byte is really just a suggested guideline anyway. Live dangerously, I say.
Aloha, BB and CE!

Round about 2001, the bottom fell out of some long term business plans.. After assessing the situation, i switched gears and said to myself I need to own a home lock stock and barrel before things get worse. Ended up back in AR buying a house for not much more than a down payment in No cal would have been. Might be one of the smartest things I ever did.
Only problem is the best buy was quite a bit more house than I need.
looney toons is tomorrow nite bb (laughing)
frankly, I’m bummed that my Tareyton reference fell flat earlier.
likeas it should haveGracias
Welp, as long as you can swing the money and upkeep, the ol’ Subgenius motto “Too much is always better than not enough” comes to mind.
you Winston, you lose tons
If punaise were here, I bet he would have caught it.
This is for John McCain and his campaign!!
…or was that Winston?
And I suppressed quite a few butt jokes at the time.
Damn, I’m slow.
Oh gawd, my father smoked those for a while, I should have caught that. Musta blocked it. Thank you!
‘aggressively loyal’ eh? ;-)
…like a (bump, bump) cigarette should.
Sorry, preferred Dr. Bong’s @90. More upbeat.
musta got caught in the filter…
Pretty much, which makes me sort of suspicious about that leaked internal poll. In the primary, Junior got more votes than Lumpkin and his competition combined. Then again, something like 75% of the people who voted for him thought they were voting for his dad. Have to keep in mind that this is a district where Duncan Hunter, the guy who held this press conference. And that wasn’t just any press conference, it was a press conference with props.
Speaking of bummed… I posted the darkblack “B” thing twice, earlier in the day than you, but got no bites… Then you linked it a little later to some acclaim. I guess it’s all in the delivery?
I’m hurt.
;~P
kool
Duncan Hunter is such as ass! It’s okay to torture people as long as you feed them well. WTF!
eyeful, your pain… :~)
Different tastes for different people! But I do love me the Doors… the real Doors not the movie version.

Repubs are sick sons of bitches…..
I get the sense that Duncan Sr. is stepping down the same way Bud Selig stepped down as the Brewers owner to become Commissioner of baseball – like not at all.
Sweet dreams Dr. B.
It’s a congressman, and his son. Of course, there’s rumor that his son changed his name before choosing to run for office.
ES, did you read my latest post?
Now now, just ‘cuz one of them was crazy doesn’t mean… well, actually you kinda have a point there.
Sounds about right. Junior has stated that he’s proud of 100% of daddy’s votes.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Yes, I know Duncan Hunter from Teh C-SPAN. Truly puts the ‘ick’ in ‘Maverick’. Can’t imagine anyone wanting to take on that brand, e-v-a-r.

Has anyone seen the Bill Maher show with Tim Robbins…I jest got a glimpse on my way out the door ta work, it seems that Robbins has been listenin ta Bobby Kennedy…any FDLers out there who have any up close and personal stories ta tell about funky stuff happenin in your yerritory?
Heads up to Citisen Raven and any ‘Nam vets out there…I jest spent the last 2 days in a classroom training in Crisis Intervention Strees Management and got ta speak with a brother from Afgahnistan action. Some real bad stuff is comin’ down about PTSD and physical stress reactions in a lotta the kids…we gotta get tapped up and [provide a safe landin’ for these folks…llet’s not let what happened to us and our brothers from ‘Nam happen to these brothers and sisters.
KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, WE CAN’T LET THE BASTARDS OFF THE HOOK THIS TIME…NEVER AGAIN!!!
The only question is, will Sr. form his own lobbying firm or throw in with Trent Lott and John Breaugh.
Bill Maher is on here right now and Tim Robbins is talking now!!

WTF is she doing in PV? I’ve been to PV and it’s nowhere near a current crisis…!
Thank you for canvassing, Norske.
P.S. I ain’t got “spell check’ on this machine and I don’t have time ta proof this stuff…so shoot me and then deal with it!
Damn, the last part of that debate, with a question about how to improve relations with Mexico, really shows the difference between the candidates. Junior and the Libertarian throw out some tired talking points, Lumpkin gives everyone a quick, and very enlightening education. Looks like that Master’s in National Security of his has some value after all.
No spelling police on duty, ever, in Late late Nite.
Fire away.
Maybe they are running low on sunscreen?
Well pups time to hit the hay!! night pups and sleep well when ya get there!

It’s about the only thing that guarantees higher education.. or potential employment in a lot of areas.
Jeeezus.. Couldn’t someone from team Obama have invited a couple of them in to deliver the damn paper?
Yes, well, it’s fiction, and while not necessarily intended as such by its (nutso, may I just insert) author is generally interpreted as dystopian.
Saw the story you link to before, it’s truly sad and dispiriting beyond words. I saw “W.” the other night and after that recap am now in a mood where NONE of this crap, NONE of it, is remotely acceptable any more. Nothing is a joking matter and I have had enough.
Sweet dreams, punaise. Really good ones today, thank you.
I don’t think either camp was even aware of them, the cops walled them off quickly…!
Unanticipated side effect of the excellent idea of ending the draft. No perfect solutions, huh?
A brief outbreak of free speech, of course they had to pounce on it.

So… that means The Rapture’s coming, right?
There’s a Tsunami a’coming! The Beach House has a good story too…!
Yes, you should tell the cops… that you need therapy, just like Ashley Todd did.
which is why, in this county, one knows not to go east of Mt Helix (into the fell darkness that is Hunter’s district) after dark. There be vampires.

No quake that I felt.

No quakes.
D’ya think he’s getting nightly visits from The Ghost of John McCains Past? I sure do. Pale shadow of a mockery of a sham of the ol’ John.
Hard to imagine he could be much worse off camera, but I have to wonder if he will even serve out the rest of his Senate term..
Must be testing Obama.
Yeah, Johnny Mac is getting haunted by his Southern ghosts.

I had been saying that a few weeks ago.
I mean honestly, take the money and retire Johnny. Go on vacation with the trollop, I mean the wife and relax for a month or two.

Someone recently mentioned Cindy is probably going to live in her own house for a while after this… wouldn’t surprise me at all.
I think he has 25(ish) million of his own.
That’s funny, someone recently mentioned Laura is probably going to live in her own new Texas house for a while after this.
I can see W. and Mc sitting together in unhappy silence on a porch somewhere, in rocking chairs…

Well, I shall bid ya’ll a fond adieu! Aloha Oe!!!
Late to the Party, as usual…
What’s on my mind tonight?
Bill Moyers’ Journal!
An impressive interview with James K. Galbraith! A chip off J.K. Galbraith’s block! Where’s Ian Welsh when you need him?
Anyway, he’s got a new book, The Predator State. How about a book salon, with Ian Welsh as host?
I am so glad that a “place” exists on MSM/PBS for thoughtful, important programs like Bill Moyers Journal. More like this, please!
Bob in HI
have a good night tuttle
Citizen CTuttle:
What I have learned in the last 40 years is not inconsistent with what many of our brothers and sisters have reported in their own exoperience from ‘Nam…that is, there was no one in theater that didn’t experience PTS and that PTSD was as much a function of bein’ ripped outta the world and hurled into hell and then after 12 months dropped back onto the street in “the world” without any support or frame of reference or support expcept what could be found in the company of commrads who shared the same experiences. These kids today are comin’ back to “the world” with even more baggage and have even less support than we did, if that is concievable!
No, Brother Tuttle, we must not only beat the walls down and get these kids what they need but we gotta turn this country upside down and shake the “usual suspects” outta their comfortable villas and have some accountin’ for what has happened in the last 45 years…my cry from now on is gunna be “NEVER FORGET AND NEVER AGAIN!!”…
KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION…THE BASTARDS ARE GUNNA PAY FOR THIS ONE!!!
One of the things that came up on Bill Moyers’ Journal is how most of that 700 Billion Dollars seems to be going to the same bankers that got us into this mess. In other words, its looking a lot like a “save Bankers from their own folly” Bill, and hope that trickles down to us.
Another interesting piece is that the present crisis, and the confessions of Alan Greenspan himself. IIRC, Moyers noted that Greenspan was a disciple of Ayn Rand, and that what we are seeing is a joint repudiation of not only Republican governing philosophy, but also the guiding philosophy of previously sacrosanct Greenspan. In other words, the entire theoretical foundations of Republican economic theory has been discredited.
I hope he’s right!
Bob in HI
The chance that any of that 700 Billion trickles down is about as great as winning the lottery, maybe even less.
ersatz edit:
and the color will be yellow if it gets there

Citizen Raven:
You Brother Freebird, what do ya hear from the youngster that shipped over a little while ago (I think he was the son of a friend…)how’s the family holdin it tagether?
If ya look up a few posts, I spent a couple a days in trainin’ with an Afgahan vet who was givin’ me the “deja vu” chills all over again…these kids comin back got at least as much baggage as we did and they got even less support, if that’s possible…I decided yesterday that I can’t carry this anger around anymore…I’m gunna push some walls down…this shit can’t happen again!!
Christy Hardin Smith has a great piece of news, upstairs!
Michelle Obama Gives Democratic Radio Address This Morning: Asks You To Vote
hey Bra
He’s back about 6 months. He hurt his knee in jump school before he shipped and they cut 2 months ago. He’s in a trick bag on the GI Bill, seems he took the option that pays back his college loans, he graduated from Minnesota, and signed shit that gave away his rights to further Ed bennies. He was thinking about flight school but when he took the tests they came back and said he could do Chemical OCS a Ft Lost in the Woods. I told his old man I hoped he just gets out but they are worried about the job market.
In terms of personal contact, I’m glad you brought it up. I sent him regular care packges, mp3’s and geedunk. When I started wrote him a and told him I knew he had better shit to do than write to some old fuck that he knew 24 years ago when he was a munchkin. He took me up on it, I have never heard directly from him. No big deal but what I know abut him I get from his old man.
Christies upstairs with a pretty great message from Michelle Obama!
Oh, um, what you said.
BTW, do you follow An Army of Dude?, this young vet can really write and had right on shit to say.
Citizen Raven:
How you doin’ old man…you keepin it tagether by not readin the newspapers and stayin away from the tube and telephone?…Seems the more things change the more they remain the same, huh…
Citizen Raven:
“BTW Do you read “The Army of Dude?…”
I didn’t but I do now…think this kid’s got some chops…gunna put it on my “favorites”…thanx, Bro.
I’m OK, work online at home so I get wayyyyy too much input. Maybe all the commotion is just so much bullshit, I don’t know. My bride never even used to watch the tube, now we watch KO and Rachel every night and she’s yelling at the screen with me!
Your Gophers ambushed the Illini making the date with buckey badger even more critical today.
I have occasional comments but they are not to crazy bout this old mofo interjecting his tired shit.
Also, this cat Sic Semper Tyrannis is quite good. He’s a retired SF officer and his depth of knowledge is great.
So, you know, Friday night and we need to chill, so we watch this:
Citizen Raven:
“…now we watch KO and Rachel every night and she’s yellin’ at the screen with me!”
You too,huh…my CO has always been rock solid (Masters in Reading and Ed Psych) and kept me respectable in social situations but since this Obama dude has rearranged our tidy little defense mechanisms, we both live for Rachel and KO and I don’t get the raised eyebrows anymore when I’m dealin’ with my crazy in-laws.
As far as the Ilini I hope they run the table or at least take down the Badgers ‘cuz if the Gophs do the job at Purdue looks like both the Ilini and Minni will be bowlin on January 1. But keep yer “6″ covered…remember this is the Big Ten and the whole season ken go ta hell on one Saturday afternoon.
Yea, and 25 years livin in Athens has me wrapped pretty tight on the Dawgs-Lsu as well.
