Evening late late nite pups(:>))
thanks for opening the digg nahant
ll, nice to have your toes dippin again
Dugg!
Suz, lately I’ve just been reading LLN in the morning accompanied by coffee. Fun to be here “live” and in the mix!
Dugg. Thanks, nahant.
It’s here. I haven’t set it up yet, because I’m trying to finish up a spreadsheet I was working on and don’t want to lose it in the transition. I should have it set up tomorrow.
Hi, LoudounLib. Haven’t seen you here in quite a while.
I am working for a local legislative candidate who is a former dispatcher, EMT and volunteer fireman.
the new pooter? *singing happy days are here again*
Great news neuro..if ya need any help you have my number…I would come and visit but….
Hey neuro! Congrats on the new computer. And thanks for working on behalf of your local candidate. First responders are awesome.
Stop, now. Do not open the box.
It’s a perfect doorstop as is.
And Suz – what a find tonight!
The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow declined the invitation saying since the president had lost his head too it would ruin the effects of his presense.
i was looking for that and stumbled upon this – i could not believe witch hazel was in it – and she was helpful to the boys. i’ve always had a soft spot for her – being as i was born during hurricane hazel
We are using his experience to emphasize his dedication to public service, which is quite genuine.
Ahh…the bewitched dancing feet
Hey, buddy. I’m a PC. Watch it, there. :)
Newton OK that is it!!! hoping your MTBF runs out on all drives, system boards, memory. display and your power supplies smoke and melt down through the bottom of your Big Mac!!!
Just asking, cause I need to know how likely your scenario is – Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
that would be kind of, um, cheesy, wouldn’t it? special sauce, too.
Maybe witch hazel could be convinced to cast a spell on the fundies with the help of the hex girls and Busco to freeze em up until President Obama is sworn in.
don’t make me click my ruby slippers nahant – donald shows what happens when ya trick instead of treat.
Based solely on my experience and observation of local happenings — if your guy is an IAFF member, they tend to be very politically astute. Wishing him all the best of luck in his campaign.
btw Suz, that was a neat ‘toon tonight :-)
The spell
thanks ll
I don’t chime in very often, but I would like to toss something out tonight an see if I am crazy or paranoid or just plain nuts. CNN debuted an hour hosted by D.L. Hugely this evening. I have seen him before on the screen and last season on Bill Maher. He was funny and entertaining. But tonight, some of the program was slightly off color and made me feel like CNN orchestrated this to reach an older white audience that might be sitting on fense about Obama. Certain bits were just tastelss enough with a black stero typical edge to perhaps tilt some older white voters away from voting for a black candidate. Did anyone else get this impression? I felt like it was designed for a select audience to send a message. Am I paranoid?
DEPENDS on the Circumstance and right now …. Watch out!
ll, i’ve been meaning to ask, are you in real virginia or communist virginia?
Yikes!
So ya better be good!
Dude, that’s Xmas.
(laughing) Suz, I am a total Commie…born and raised in NoVa ;-)

Dude.
You just ruined that song for me.
I grew up listening to it and it was OK, heard it a thousand times.
Yikes.
I feel terrible about it. I just went looking for the tune, and there it was.
i think newton the user is trying to challenge us to a worst official music video evah tube-off.
Well pups I have the need to get horizontal! So good night pups and sleep well when you get there!
Speaking of 70’s rawk, and bad hair — may I present Badfinger
I totally heart this song though…

G’night nahant, sleep well.
Careful what you wish for.
If DarkBlack is around he will show you several likely contestants.

Gnite Nahant, good timing.
Love those guys. When they came out, they were on the Beatles label, the only band I know of that shared it.
g’nite nahant
Yep — iirc, George was their mentor.
its newton the user’s wish dood – and darkblack don’t scare me
he scares me
i musta gotten my bad’s confused – i thought it was these bad guys
The depth of his library of absolutely horrible videos would put Dick Cheney to shame.
Nelson Algre had asked about an endorsement for Al Franken by the Wellstones.
David sent a note. I tried twice over there and can’t get the link right. The note is at AL Franken For US Senate.
David is Paul’s son who runs Wellstone Action with his brother David.
i check his site nightly looking with eager anticipation for his newest creation.
Being paranoid doesn’t mean that they aren’t out to get you! Or, getcha in Palin speak.

hey bbfly – how’s your corner of the world tonight?
I recall a YouTube war a couple of years back – SadlyNo, atrios, who else – can’t recall. But db might have been there. It was an epic Saturday.
thanks mod
I’m overdrawn at ther memory bank tonight.
Do you think the gov’t can give me a bailout?
WayneC
Thanks for feedback. I haven’t seen comments anywhere else, but it sure seemed designed to raise doubts among older white voters to me. CNN has never had a oomedy hour. Why would they start one with a young black comedian one week before the election. Some of the program was very FOX Sitcom laced with eneundo (a pimp named Freddie Mac), etc. It is too stereo typical in an unflattering manner.
Hey late-nighters, i have a question:
What happened to Ann Coulter? Has he been banished at last?
Women of Witchcraft Tribute
Witchcraft wicked witchcraft the white house staff is down in the bomb shelter but no help the spell is stronger than tongue and Iran is off of the WH shit list now we are talking.
Not to worry I have a call into “The Wicked Witch of the West” and Dorothy all for a really big spell. So every time Palin and McInsane open their mouths…in goes foot.
You all didn’t really think they were THAT stupid? Yep the witches are working their magic spells.
Great to have onfluential friends too.
Fading a bit here, but speaking through music.
This is what I keep trying to tell my right wing dad: The times they are a-changing
they certainly are ll – i am starting to dare to hope that maybe, just maybe, change is coming.
Not bad…2C and clear…that is 35F in your language.How is your corner of the world? aka Paradise…
xargaw, I hear ya. I’ve always liked D.L. Huguely, but I was a bit surprised at the little bit I watched tonight. Next week I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, and check it out again.

And the world hopes with you!
He is extremely talented and extremely twisted. I really admire him.
He has great taste in tunes and paradoxially has an interest in some of the most horrible shit ever to hit the airwaves.
And he knows where it is,
Suz, here ya go:
A Change Is Gonna Come
you are evil. oh gahd
Speak of the devil.
How are ya DB?
I heard that played at the end of the rally where I saw Obama recently
It reminded me that I also heard it played at the end of the 1984 Democratic National Convention in San Fransisco
If the Rethugs ever play that song, I hope Kool sues them
HAR! I don’t think that creature is a woman, either. I have multiple nodules on my thyroid and my Adam’s apple is not big like hers..oops..I mean his..
Doing good as can, Busted…What’s this about music?
;>)
43f and clear skies here too – and a toasty 68 inside. living on the coast helps mitigate those cold clear nites. we are supposed to be 71 tomorrow.
We don’t go there. And yes, it’s a big deal.
hey db – hows it going
I bow to yer awesomeness.
Watch out for the glare, I took my hat off earlier.
Not to bring you all down, but to let you know where my head is at tonight —

Hi, S.

Totally tragic.

Don’t run off.
Sheeit, they let ME hang around!
There are only a few things ya gotta watch out for.
No personal attacks, no “C’ word, no talk of violence directed at anyone and above all else, don’t feed the animals.
Wow, LL, in a training incident too…! 8-(
I want to wish you all the very best.
Take care of yourselves one and all.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you all that Obama wins.
I thought it was something else…My bad, silly tourist.
;>)
It just ain’t nice to diss somebody’s body business, bbfly…No need to take wing.

Aloha CT!
Yeah, a training incident. Ghod only knows what happened; they just found him earlier on Saturday :-(

pre-chugging
I posed this question earlier, but … were Ted Stevens to resign, could Sarah Palin appoint herself to replace him?
Aloha, LL!
oh, i don’t know – we will have to ask et that one – i don’t know what the rules are in that state – each state sets their own rules regarding replacement of seat holders.
‘Don’t let the man getcha‘, Busted.
;>)
lol, yeah!
lowrider
I never have figgered out what the hell a “HooDo” is! LOL.
Now my brain hurts. Assuming AK’s rules are similar to other states (not a given, really…)
She would have to be Governor to appoint. But you cannot hold national office and state-wide office at the same time. So she would have to step down as Governor. Which means she could not appoint.
OK, forget it.
I have to agree with Jane (which is not a particularly gutsy move here):
McCain’s boys would dearly love to blame Palin, but the blame belongs to the political philosophy that brought us this mess, namely Reaganism.
law fighting
EXsqueeze me? No, THIS is the worst legit music video ever!
It sums up the McCain campaign very well for me.
IIRC, it has occasionally happened in that past that a governor appointed himself/herself to a suddenly open senate seat.
this claims that title, jacqrat (how ya been)
Oh, jacqrat – that is fugly.
Pissed me off, Fuckin’ jerk.
They have ‘em up here, and still don’t know what they are.

But not completely.
Let me present to you Obama’s unofficial theme song.
Underdog, by the Butthole Surfers.
As a Republican, and I mean that with all possible respect, you have watched Democrats sow the seeds of their own destruction many, many times.
But have you ever seen anything like the brain-donor behavior of the Republican Party this year?
“Look, I stepped in shit! Ain’t I grand? No?”
What are they thinking?
Cheesy lookin’ fuckers, ain’t they?
Hoodoo

The gov could step down, the lt. gov. becomes The Gov, who appoints the previous gov to the senate seat.

Thanks so much for the Stevie linky – did wonders for my heavy heart – our precious pooch Buddha Blue is seriously ill – today marks a second week of mrbrat’s deep denial & all that implies —sigh. The vet team postulates it may be something they call Coon or Racoon disease from a tic bite causing his paralysis. If any of your fine fire pups have any experience with this malady please email me at npbratATgmailDOTcom. :-(
noooooooo not buddha blue – oh npb – sending warm healing positive thoughts down to monterey bay
You are something else dude.
That is a good one.
(((NPB and Mr. Brat)))
nice, i got a harmonica but it doesn’t fit in the reply box.
It’s that time again, luckily I only have to walk about five feet.
You can’t go home again Dept:
While Obama was here visiting Toots, he tried to take a walk through his old neighborhood here– “alone,” without a crowd of security guards. But alas, before long, well-wishers could not bear to leave him alone, and one of his vans quickly came up to whisk him back to his grandmother’s building, where I live. Local newspapers (Star-Bulletin) cast him as a somber figure– no big smiles.
It must be a sobering experience to realize how much water has flowed under the bridge, and how the life he lived before is gone forever. His Toots is older, more frail, and he can no longer be anonymous.
His burden weighs more heavily now.
Bob in HI
We could loan you one of Butter’s.
;>)
how sad that he was not left alone bob – i really wish he could have had an un-interferred with trip. no one respects anyone’s privacy anymore it seems :(

Voters cannot, simply cannot help but be struck by his roots. It is an amazing story – no one pulling strings – just folks.

Good morning. Anyone up?
morn’n!
Good morning. How are you?
We had tons of rain, thunder, lightening, last night but the storm has passed and it’s supposed to be nice day. Foggy right now, however.
Sunday Talking Heads is upstairs…
Good morning, pups. Brace yourselves — the NYT has unleashed 9 columnists this morning. I’ve broken them down into 2 segments, so you can more easily find the one(s) you want to either read or laugh at. Part I has Warner, Friedman, Egan and Kristof:
Judith Warner writes about “No Ordinary Woman,” and says Sarah Palin is a woman who is able to be promoted on the kinds of attributes that were once the exclusive province of unremarkable white men. I think by “unremarkable” she’s being polite and not saying “ignorant.” She does have lovely manners. Mr. Friedman ponders “If Larry and Sergey Asked for a Loan….” and suggests we can only grow our way out of this crisis — with more innovation and entrepreneurship, which create new businesses and better jobs. Mr. Egan writes about “The Party of Yesterday,” and says Republicans have been insinuating for years that some of the brightest, most productive communities in the United States are fake American. Mr. Kristof, in “The Endorsement From Hell,” says the endorsement of John McCain by a Web site linked to Al Qaeda isn’t a surprise. Four more years of blindness to nuance in the Muslim world is an excellent recruiting tool.
Warner, Friedman, Egan and Kristof
Part II contains Dowd, Brooks, Collins, Krugman and Rich. MoDo writes about “A Makeover With an Ugly Gloss,” and says with the McCain campaign running on an “average Joe” theme, aides costumed their Eliza Doolittle for a ball when she should have been dressing for a bailout. Bobo, poor thing, admits his side is “Ceding the Center.” He whines that John McCain would be an outstanding president. But he never escaped the straightjacket of a party that is ailing and a conservatism that is behind the times. Never escaped it? Bobo, sweetie, he hurled himself into their arms, pandering like crazy, to get their votes. Tool… Ms. Collins has the “Blue State Blues.” She thinks she wants her ballot to be important. She wants to get Republican robo-calls and have college students coming to her door with helpful leaflets. Having been in Ohio during one campaign I can assure her that she really doesn’t want to live through that. Mr. Krugman says we are “Desperately Seeking Seriousness,” and that as the economic scene has darkened, Americans have rediscovered the virtue of seriousness. And this has worked to Barack Obama’s advantage. Mr. Rich writes “In Defense of White Americans.” He says white Americans are not remotely the bigots the G.O.P. would have us believe. Just because a campaign trades in racism doesn’t mean that the country is racist.
Dowd, Brooks, Collins, Krugman and Rich
The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are all ready, and to give you strength to wade through all of that I’ve got chocolate croissants I scored at the bakery yesterday, as well as some plain ones for the folks who don’t care for chocolate first thing in the morning. Have a grand day.
