FITZ!
loohoo! how’s socal tonight?
Fitz encore! Hey Suzanne and Loo Hoo!
hey ce — how’s cleveland tonight?
I can’t stop thinking about the LA undercover officers shooting the hell out of the 71 and 47 year old women delivering papers. This is like a mexican drug gang, they are judge, jury and executioner all in one, and if any citizens get in the way, well collatoral damage you know….this troubles me deeply
The chief’s public statements show he is not getting it, he offers only support for his frightened officers……this requires some thought…ty
Aloha, Suz and lln pups…! Occupy Hilo’s livestream of Abercrummy’s live testimony on the vile PLDC bill(s) today, had been mirrored by several Global Occupy feeds…!
Shhhh… My Okole…! ;-)
hey old dude — tis scary for sure — old women sure don’t look like a black man.
whereabouts do ya hang your hat?
aloha tut — how’s paradise tonight? still soggy?
Sad toon.
Littleton, Colorado.
I almost cry when I think what it was like inside that truck when the scared cops opened up. They were intent on execution, and that makes me wonder…these women were trying to do a good job and not disturb their customers and the frightened cops cared not a lick for anyone but themselves……very troubling and sad…ty
Hi CE and Suz. Wonderful here in SoCal now that the rains have stopped. How are yous?
the 50′s had a lotta changes going through the animation studios… iirc this was the last theatrical release by tex avery — after this cartoon he directed cartoons made for tv. animation studios were closing down.
February includes a celebration of condoms. MrCE was asked to film a video in NYC for the Trojan Company, about the history of condoms. Trojan released it yesterday on Cosmo site! He is the first dude talking. Here it is…
how far away is that from greeley? i have a daughter who hangs her hat there when she’s not attending college down in florida.
Can you imagine a ‘Public-Private’ partnership, wherein, 7-11, yes, 7-11 builds a store on a Public School’s campus, naturally, all ‘proceeds’ shall benefit the School…! *gah*
no sunshine today :( but no rain either :) weather dood is now saying that tomorrow will be best day of the weekend. i’m hoping to do a walk down to the corner on the next sunny day.
Hey folks.
So I just re-listened to myself on the Rick Smith radio show last night and I was pretty good! I thought I was making incomplete thoughts, but I really wasn’t. When I’m on the radio I make it a point to talk slower than I normally do because I’ve been told it’ hard to follow if I talk too fast.
I made several points that I wanted and even tied my remarks to the theme of the night (The postal system and the suggested stoppage of Saturday service.)
If you care to listen I’m at 100 minutes and it’s about 30 minutes.
The Rick Smith Show
Rick Smith Show Feb 8, 2013
holy moly — your mr ce is in cosmo!!!
The cops are scared shitless. But fortunately, Charlie Sheen is ON IT!
no way. they trying to do that in hilo?
hey spocko — how ya doing tonight? thanks for the link! will listen to it later tonight.
It was sad in the sense that the good guy lost.
yup. not all cartoons back then were happy.
Yes he is! Actually, he is an international authority on many medical subjects, but contraception is one of his specialities.
*heh* State-Wide, M’dear…! Abercrummy, himself, testified for it, on a Saturday even…! ;-)
Dang, it won’t play. But at least I got a pic of the handsome bugger!
fuck
Anybody got a link…? ;-)
try this link loohoo — its to the video itself
Thanks for the link..
Seriously, I want the US Attorney General to offer safe arrest to Dorner, before the cops shoot up some other neighborhood, those rounds did not stop at the ladies’ truck. They also shot at and rammed another truck that kind of looked like Dorners.
They are clearly intent on execution. where is eliot richardson or elliot ness when you need them…..ty
ce’s #13:
the link is in the words cosmo site
Wonderful. All respects!

*oops* Nevermind, M’dear…! *g*
About 80 miles south of Greeley, the college there, University of Northern Colorado, used to be Colorado State College, all in all a lovely colorado cow town…. one of the few that did not get “californicated” as we call it here..ty
Thanks!
I was kind of bummed I didn’t get to use my groovy new microphone, but I think the land line sounded okay.
On Monday I’m going to start gathering info from some of the rightest wing media organizations.
she really likes it there. surprised me that my california girl ended up becoming a midwesterner. turns out she loves the snow so i was really surprised when she selected florida for college
*heh* Now, I must ask ya, M’dear… Did ya ‘field test’ any of the Merchandise…? ;-)
*rubbing hands together gleefully*
tut!
Oh CT, all the time!
ce!
I know, but, I’ve met her and all…! ;-)
I’m not surprised, Suz, one Iota even…! 8-P
Wow, CE. Very cool. You must be so proud of your hubby.
now, my friend, i must tell you as a 64 year resident here, we call ourselves westerners…..and the snowy winters we used to have here have now given way to february rain storms like the one tonight….ty
*laughing* my generation
LAPD has offered to look at his case again.
GO SPOCKO!
she’s real partial to kansas and missouri for some reason and has taken to calling herself a midwesterner so that is why i used the term. ya’ll have really been needing the moisture — peterr’s post today sure had some scary graphics
This is a ploy, to make him consider coming in…..
I knew it!
i was taken a’back when the chief said it was to restore confidence in the original investigation and didn’t say it was to discover the truth…
I will tell you that we will be celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary on Feb. 12. And we won’t even be together as I have a work event until 9:00 p.m.
Yes, we do, the climate and plants, insects and animals have really changed around here in my lifetime, …ty
happy early anniversary ce (in case i don’t see ya before then)
Well, yeah. But he could get life rather than death perhaps.
Evening, all-
Congrats to Mr. CE!
Hey RonD! Hello!
weather is fucked up all over and those deniers denying it are just ostriching with their head in the sands
hey rond — how ya doing tonight?
Chief also said he “got” someone to donate a new truck to the women when they get out of the hospital…..seriously….this is so troubling…seems minor unless you think of your own grandmother and mother being the ones who had to deliver newspapers, which pays crap, to buy food and shelter for their family, and scared litte cops shoot the hell out of them…look at the bullet pattern on the back window of their truck,,,,,,
head shots….both sides…….this is disturbing me no end..
Good for you, CE! Hearty Congratulations.
scarey all the way around for sure…. now that they don’t have a vehicle for him everyone is going to be even jumpier
Pretty well, thanks. You? I saw everyone and had to say hi…so let me add, for old times’ sake…
FITZ!
Thanks! That is lovely.
*heh* But you’d never suspect it of her, meeting her on the Street, Loo Hoo…! ;-)
Hey, Howdoyoudo to the most polite man on all of the internets! How goes the teaching?
Oh, FITZ. DIdn’t we wish and think that we would win. Suckers all of us.
i’m hanging in :) gonna attempt a walk to the corner next sunny day — the knee has settled down so i’m gonna take it out for a test drive. i’ve been a couch potato since oct when they told me to ease up so…
oh, i think it would be good if he would stop this and surrender to federal authorities, it disturbs me that the major news, and i checked regularly since yesterday morning, it disturbs me that the major news did not say squat about the police shooting the hell out of torrance, only stories parroting the lapd version….ty
Hi Loo Hoo! You’re still sweeter than a stolen kiss…anyway, I’m in my last semester of an MA program, and just applied to a PhD program. Teaching is going well-I’m currently teaching the history of WW2. 70 or so ROTC cadets in the class…with me. :)
It’s the truth. The folks you least suspect to have lively sex lives…DO! That’a why they’re still in love after 38 years. (Not to mention anyone in particular!)
I’ve been talking to people and thinking about this. I’d like your thoughts.
LLN is always great to help me clarify stuff.
I have a couple of goals.
1)Point out that even the craziest right wing media outlets have a no-firearms policy. The reason is because even they aren’t irresponsible when it comes to guns in the workplace.
2) More guns do not mean safer. If the RW really believe they did they would allow and Encourage guns in the work place.
3) If guns ARE allowed they are with people who are trained security guards. “regular” people can’t bring in guns.
4) If organizations do NOT want to release their policies they will say it is because liberals will come and shoot them if they know they are in a ‘gun free zone.” My response to that is. I”m not talking about outsiders, I’m talking about employees and your contractors. Are welcome to have armed guards wherever you want, what are you policies toward your own people? What does that say about 1) your people 2) you on air views vs your actions?
5) I’m working on the insurance angle as wall as the work place safety angle. So If I find out they do NOT have a policy of no-firearms then I want to inform the insurance carrier. The insurance industry is going to start making noise about making people who have guns get liability insurance.
I would think that a firm that welcome guns into their offices might have a different premium that they pay.
The RW (like the arms merchants) make money by reving up fear and paranoia. They also have people in the organization who know that it is bullshit to entertain the rubes, when they are taking seriously they don’t believe crazy stuff. They are business men.
It’s one thing to point out hypocrisy. That’s standard practice. It’s another thing when the hypocrisy costs you money or you have to change your position on an issue. I’d like to force insurance companies to weigh in on the issue.
just ask the cat
Wow never thought we were particular. I love LLN.
hey homeroid — how’s homer tonight?
OMG I’ve seen that before and it makes me laugh!
love the bit with the cat at the end…
I doubt he’ll surrender. He’s too far gone. So sad about the newspaper deliverers that were shot by LAPD. So, so sad.
*heh* I thought she’d lost count…! I lost count after 20 yrs, myself…! ;-)
How cool is that? Congratulations!
Great thinking, spocko. Go for it!
Suzanne, that is just brilliantly wrong…
hey dearie — how’s the ‘nard tonight?
*innocent look*
Hah! I love it!
All good. Beautiful ocean today….. I love the drive from Santa Barbara…. different every time. Surfers never miss a day. Hang gliders out yesterday and today. Lovely, really.
you seeing any impact from the lapd guy up there?
Thanks. If they’ll let me, I’d sure like to keep going.
Nope. Our police are much more civilized up here. :)
*heh* As If…? ;-)
See, you mentioned the cat…
I agree totally. Chris Wallace at fox news totally destroyed La Peirre last weekend, so everyone know he’s a lost cause. La Pierre was trying to call Obama an elitist for having security for his kids. He was shamed ON FOX SUNDAY!!! Republicans will lose on this big time in 2014 IMO, because it makes no sense. The dems just need to hold on strongly for once. Insurance for a gun makes as much sense as insurance for a car. They need to get real.
aw shucks
Let your chief say, what the lapd chief should say “There will be no more ctizens shot up by lapd, and if there is i will personally arrest the shooter’ instead of the sick things he has been saying ty..
Suzanne, you RASCAL!
Monster surf for all North facing shores here in the Isles, I’m sure y’all will be experiencing’em, shortly, Dearie…! 8-(
there’s always the duck
wascally wabbit
Hush
Hadn’t heard that we have that coming. I’m at 19 ft above sea level, so I suspect I’ll be fine. I have to admit that I do love it when the Pacific kicks up….. so powerful, so majestic. Puts us all in our proper place.
hey blue — how’s la tonight? that howl always sent shivers up my spine :)
I love it when Suzanne gets the 100 by accident. I know the planets are correctly aligned. :)
Strange Brew!
aw fuck i snagged the happy lucky 99
shit i did it again
*glare*
Hey, she nabbed the 99 and the 100. Perfection!
It’s OK — had a great Saturday night doing my laundry.
Logged several hours of precinct walking for a school board candidate in East Los Angeles this afternoon. He’s basically an FDL type trying to dislodge the corporatist president of the School Board. An uphill fight, but a worthwhile one.
Prior to this campaign, I’d never done precinct walking — I have the kind of face that hates to have doors slammed in it, which is what I thought would happen, but hasn’t. Plus you get to see different communities up close and personal, meeting people you never would otherwise. It’s interesting, and even a little bit fun.
The fix is in. You can’t trust anyone these days.
Suzanne, would it be out of line to mention another blog where I’ve been doing some writing? A brand new start-up, as it were?
*grrrr*
are ya gonna do more?
no… it is required that you provide us the link so we can all read it…. blog whoring is a long standing lln tradition :)
Thanks for that Loo Hoo. You know how to ease my weary bones.
*heh* Worst yet, Ron…! Both the 99 and 100, to add some sea salt…! ;-)
Yes. This was the third Saturday in a row I’ve been out ringing doorbells. There are three more Saturdays until the election and I’ll try to make all of them.
Ooops, nevermind, Y’all…! ;-)
HA!
born under a bad sign
Cuz you’re too busy being a radical!
Yo, any firepups still up howlin’ at the Moon?? Awe you west coasters flameout early!!!
too late dood….
sweet! you gonna diary about any of it?
norske! how ya been dood?
howl
You will. You’ll be great and have a wonderful career.
Oh yeah, and I was pretty shameless about it back in the day. But times have changed, and I felt it appropriate to ask. I’ve part of the Everblog, the blog of the Evergreen Institute for Progressive Thought, and we’ve just launched.
NorskeFlamethrower!!!
WILL THERE BE SURFERS?
sweet! i’ll be sure to check it out dood…what’s your nom de blog over there?
Probably not, Suzanne. It lacks dramatic structure (that’s the writer in me talking).
Please excuse me if this was discussed upthread, but how is your knee coming along?
taking it easy appears to have settled it down so i’m gonna take it out for a test walk to the corner next sunny day…. fingers and toes crossed
Somebody ought to write a song.
All of my best wishes and those of the rest of us will go with you.
thanks dood
I’m “DoctorFloyd.”
(a 2001 reference, as the voice of HAL is my email alert, and my computer constantly calls me that when announcing new mail.)
not me — i’m best playing ‘audience’
Norske. It’s early. And we got dick heads to slay around here. You in?
ha! and i was wondering if doctor floyd was a floyd reference
tis the season
Totally welcome!
Being from Brooklyn, I thought it was a reference to Floyd Bennett Field.
Oh hell yes
Norskeoso! Que Paso?
or perhaps sgt floyd pepper
See why I say he is THE MOST POLITE MAN ON ALL OF THE INTERNETS? Guys a classic.
with a capitol t and that rhymes with p
I got a big hug an a kiss an we will call it at that. You might want to check out the new Aaron Neville album.A bit quiet for me but the voice is golden.
That’s what I was doing when I first found FDL in 2005. Building boats and playing in the Pink Floyd tribute band. I am still very proud of that band, and my work with it.
if ya have a tune in mind, shoot me off a link in an email and i’ll check it out homer
You know, that hadn’t ocurred to me, but now that you menton it…
i remember your work with the tribute band… is why i thought pink floyd at first
poor little token is looking like his eyeballs are gonna float away… guess i had better take him out to save a blade of grass
thanks for letting me hang out with ya tonight. am looking forward to seeing what tut has up his sleeve for sun and mon lln.
g’nite all
‘night, Suzanne-
me too. The best of all possible tomorrows to you all-
Nite Suz thanks.
I was thinking of the only decent/famous Brittany Spears song, Help I did it again.
Citizen homeroid:
Depends on which “dickheads” you’re goin’ after…I’m too old, slow and mellow to waste any time on the usual suspects. Now if you’ve spotted some fresh troll meat, I’ll hang around for a few bites.
Sister Suzanne: How’s grandmotherhood…get’s better and better don’t it??
Brother CT: How you doin’ you old low-quarter…keepin’ it together? How’s your significant other, last time I stopped by you folks were lookin at foreclosure. Do I need ta stop out in the islands and help ya toss a few banksters out the window?
Citizen Norske. I hear you brother i am losing the drive. What can i say there are lot’s of Good people where i am but we are represented by idiots.
I doubt there is much any one of us can do but speak the truth and often. And brother i wish you the best.
Hey Norske. I see you don’t have the energy for all the formatting and stuff before you make your point. We’re all getting old around here at LLN!
Hey all you LLNers! I never get to check in with y’all. Is everybody gone already?
I’m still here. Bestest!
Never get to be on a threat with you westies. Just stumbling in from a poker game. gawdam KrisAinTX is tough at the table! Are you well?
I am well. Hope you guys are too. Hugs!
My goodness, I should be so lucky to see 150+ comments, Suz…! Sweet dreams, M’dear…! *g*
*heh* Ya taught him well, eh oldnslow…? ;-)
Aloha, Brother Norske, I wish I was in a better kettle, but, we’re hanging tough, mahalo…!
sorry i missed ya oldnslow…
