Hello Pups!

Hi CE

The waters at the lake appear quite calm tonight. A rogue wave might be just we need…

Hi newtonusr

When ET is in this early, rogue wave is about right.

How goes?

We need war crimes trials… got my pitchfork by the front door.

Hey pals, enjoying Rogue Wave. I just asked MrCE, “who is your favorite group of all time?” Answer, “Silly Wizard.” Now I have to find them on the silly Google…or, can you?

Sightlines at their site is cool, too.

here ya go.

Mrs CE wouldn’t be very good at the newlywed game. /s

Thanks. Going fine. Got home while ago from a board meeting that usually is a lot longer, so I’m here.

Palin held a press conference six hours ago about how much she’s charging the state for her expenses, when she’s freezing state hiring, and cutting hundreds of millions on important ongoing programs. No word anywhere yet – at least to me – on how that want.

OOh lovely! Thanks ES

I feel some serious wiggling coming on.

I sure admire your ability / willingness to keep up with her.. I see her name in my inbox and hit delete like a bolt of lightning these days.

He’s kinda stuck with her, and if he keeps on keeping on, he can run her to ground before she slips away.

Can’t wait until I can’t see her from here..

Quick swim by.. early am.

Be well pups. poof

Nice butterfly stroke…. nite Sunny.

hi/bye sunny

ES, your wing?

Pakistani Taliban announce indefinite truce in Swat

MINGORA, Pakistan (Reuters) – Taliban militants announced an indefinite cease-fire in the Swat valley in the northwest of the country on Tuesday, a day after the army said it was ceasing operations in the region.

Anyone awake? I’m heading for bed, too.

still dragging… dr’s appointment in la manana… Hop hope hoping to see some sign of healing in the x-ray.

stay tuned…)

Ugh.
What on earth does this portend?

Might be good… who knows? Good for US supply lines?

Map of swat inside red here.

I’m sure you’re waiting for the backside-of-her. But you’ve done an incredible job keeping the rest of us informed. Many thanks!!

The Afghan people, and I mean the folks in the way of missiles and bombs from drones, trading one wretched existence for another. My understanding of the ‘rule of law’ that will be imposed is terrifying.

We fucked that place up, but good.

Meanwhile… next door

Hi openhope

Yes… considering how bad it was… that was quite the accomplishment. /s

Meaning that this deal naturally extends to deals soon to be made in Afghanistan…

This is just wonderful

Dude… you totally missed Margaret Cho this evening.

I got a haha! out of her. *s* was something about butt bleach.

ooops that was for -G

This is a scream.

MSNBC does snark.

Where was this?

OT It’d be kind of fun to have a Late nite hits compilation. “Music to make change”. Or some name less gag producing. A lot of good music flies by here. It’s a shame to let it go.
Kind of a fundraiser thingy. I’d buy a CD.

Movie night guest… here at fdl this evening.

I must say Miss Cho gave great thread. /s

LOL :-)
I’m sure she would approve.

I don’t know about reselling others music.. not easily anyway.

But there are several interesting ideas in your thought, o.h.

Suz and myself once conducted a LLN contest over the course of a week or so… best protest songs. It was a lot of fun and all the pups submitted favorites… lots of good stuff.

Hey GregB, Chris, openhope, ES, everyone.

Hi Margot…

I still don’t understand the idea of butt bleaching. Guess I am going to have to break down and google it.

Oh, yeah, big time reselling, forgot about that. I work in small community benefit venues. I’ve found that you can get damn near anything you want if you’re a housewife doing good things and you’re willing to make 7 phone calls. Which usually takes you to the top tier of where ever it is you’re headed.
I’m kind of spoiled that way!!!

Or not.

Me too. Artists are a giving bunch for the most part.

To late… it’s worse than I imagined.

Too bad I missed her. She’s a unique comic talent.

Hi Margot.

P.S. John McCain never ceases to sink to newer levels of petty childishness….His lame passive/aggressive attack on Obama was something I’d expect from a grade schooler.

You go to the mic with the petty, childish, pedantic justifications your own existence that you have, not the ones you want.

I take offense to that image of grade schoolers.
John McCain is a wanker. It’s a personality trait that transcends age or status.
A wanker is a wanker is a wanker.
“Hey,you!! Leave them kids alone!” [pink floyd-the wall]

It’s amazing how stupid (and downright mean) he is.. not to be embarrassed of himself.

Mack the Hack is back.

OK, I now know more about butt bleaching than I really wanted to, but what the hell.

What I’m all into these days is collecting homemade soap recipes. Not actually making the soap, mind you; I don’t know what I’d do with several pounds of soap.
Except there is a farmer’s market near here, and it will open up sometime in the spring…hm.

3 US soldiers and interpreter killed north of Baghdad

BAGHDAD – Three US soldiers and an interpreter were killed yesterday during fighting north of Baghdad, the military announced.

The combat took place in Diyala Province, an area northeast of Baghdad that remains volatile despite an overall drop in violence nationwide.

The statement did not provide more details.

hey, folks

had a heckuva time getting online

need that new network router, I guess

Seriously… google soap rock sometime.. if you haven’t already heard of it. They make stunningly beautiful soaps.

Had several boots in the ;ast hour or so myself.. Stephen’s revenge? /s

If you have no interest in wireless, this will be very reliable, in my experience.
And you can do better on the price.

Maybe the reason John McCain is so pale is because Cindy McCain had her asshole bleached.

-G

newtonusr, did you see the new 17 inch mac book pro? claims battery life up to 8 hours!

Somebody forgot to tell the bleachers not to dip his entire body.

I did. They are showing a pretty cool piece of vid about the concept, design and manufacturing of that battery. Non-removable and built to fit in a very slender area of the laptop. Weighs nothing.

Drool-worthy IMO.

Cindy never specified which asshole.

-G

Gotta hit el sacko.

Night gang.

When confronted with this uncomfortable query, Senator McCain quipped, “Ask the Hell’s Angels.”

thanks newt–but—”if you have no interest in wireless”–wireless is what I have and what I need–I think the problem is that the computer I use is too far from the router, or too many walls in between, or something–cable company says we can’t have separate cable connections for each computer, it would weaken the signal too much, so we have just one connection with a wireless router–since I bought my new computer, it seems sometimes the signal is not strong enough to connect to the network–was worse this evening than usual

g nite -G

OK, ridding yourself (and your neighbors) of 2.4ghz (gigahertz) phones would be the first thing I would try.
802.11b, g and n (your computer’s wireless network) all broadcast on that freq, and these phones interfere.

If you have the wireless broadcaster (router) on the other side of your kitchen appliances or the firebreak separating your home from your garage, that could also interfere.

I’m having problems reloading the page, guess I will let technology win and say goodnight…

g nite realneuro

Good night all.
Goodnight mods. You know it’s my duty to push the envelope towards equality in all things. Even “profane” names for ordinary body parts. Which actually only encompass female body parts. I can’t think of a male organ that is out of line to say in this venue. Weird. Must be a social disorder.
Lucky for you, you have the delete power.!! And you use it well.
night!
