Hello, Lizard-dim!

Good morning, Lizards!

Currently sitting in "The Israeli - Arab Conflict, A Documentary History". The topic of todays class is "The Intifiada of 1986" and currently discussing the question "Are the Settlements the main obstacle to Peace?"
Any ideas anyone?

Coffee? Check!
Internet Connection? Check!
Why do I come to this job so early in the morning? Check!

Won't you come on out and play?
Wake up the sunshine and share this friendly day.
Good Morning, Captain,
It's A smiling song we sing
'Cause we're happy to see you

Hey, good morning, hello, how do you do?
Good Morning, Captain (repeated twice)

Wake up the sunshine

Good Morning All! 61 degrees and raining cats and dogs. But 'tis still a beautiful morning. Review for exams today, which means for the attentive I'll give away the topics for the essays. You'd be amazed how inattentive some people can be.

Anyone get the stick last night?

Make a Bingo card with buzzwords or key terms or annoying verbal tics instead of numbers; check them off as you hear them. Resist the urge to shout "Bingo" when you get five in a row, but feel a sense of accomplishment.

Goddess Lucius Opnionre: #26 Beseduh

Welcome.

Here's a little advice from the worst student in the history of studenting...decide that the lecture has merit before you get to it, prepare to learn something from it.

Then, if it is still boring, (or ill prepared, etc) go ahead log-in to LGF, or play BS Bingo, or just let the mind wander. But, I (the worst student in the history of studenting) could listen to a 40 minute lecture about paint drying.

Especially if it were given by Lucius or the Goddess.

thanks, although in the case of the lecture that i am in, a more likely fiveinarow would be "jihad, rabin, gaza, Sumud, intifada". Not really bingo territory.

Bull$shit bingo - verbal tick, don't forget - 'you know,' a/k/a 'ya know.' most annoying language tick ever.

re: #33 Lucius Septimius

But, aren't I right? Boring lectures are ones we figure will be boring before we get there. If we decide that the teacher has something to say, it is easy to get fascinated. That is the job of the student; to get fascinated.

re: #31 Lucius Septimius

Bull$shit bingo - verbal tick, don't forget - 'you know,' a/k/a 'ya know.' most annoying language tick ever.

I must disagree: "like" wins that "honor."

re: #42 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

True, often enough. Though I must say when I'm over tired and haven't had a chance to prepare effectively, I can start to mumble and drift off.

When I was in college and not connecting with the lecture I'd doodle. I still do that at faculty meetings.

Oh, yeah, I left out another important facet,
That is the job of the teacher, to engage/fascinate the student.

But both have to be willing to play.

re: #43 opnion

'it's in the Bible."

There's a line in Deuteronomy somewhere containing and injunction to carry around a pointed stick with which to bury one's excrement outside the boundaries of the camp. I used to like to quote that one to self-described "literalists."

Jeez, I haven't seen that in eons. Probably last time was when I was home sick from school watching the "Morning Movie with Ione" on WGN.

Good morning Lizards! It's 7:04EST, and that means it's time for some Thomas Hardy.

The Darkling Thrush

I leant upon a coppice gate
When Frost was spectre-gray,
And Winter’s dregs made desolate
The weakening eye of day.
The tangled bine-stems scored the sky
Like strings of broken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh
Had sought their household fires.

The land’s sharp features seemed to be
The Century’s corpse outleant,
His crypt the cloudy canopy,
The wind his death-lament.
The ancient pulse of germ and birth
Was shrunken hard and dry,
And every spirit upon earth
Seemed fervourless as I.

At once a voice arose among
The bleak twigs overhead
In a full-hearted evensong
Of joy illimited;
An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small,
In blast-beruffled plume,
Had chosen thus to fling his soul
Upon the growing gloom.

So little cause for carolings
Of such ecstatic sound
Was written on terrestrial things
Afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through
His happy good-night air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew
And I was unaware

Thomas Hardy

More Fallout From Inaction On North Korea Nukes
Ten North Koreans were killed in an IAF air strike on a Syria installation September, Bloomberg reported Monday, quoting an NHK report that cited unidentified South Korean intelligence officials.
The report quoted a Japanese broadcaster who said that they had been assisting the Syrians in the construction of a nuclear reactor. Several North Korean workers survived the air strike, the report said.

re: #65 RedWhiteAndJew

now how often does one get to use the word "coppice" nowadays.

Nice bit o'verse.

Thank you Lucius. I thought it a good choice to encourage Lizards to fight the good fight, even when things look grim.

The truth is beauty, and we should sing it.

Good morning, lizards! The week is starting, the sun is shining, there are new fields of things to be done, and God be praised there is no sight of cramped, unimaginative, soul-twisted Democratic nominees and their wormwood Afri-caftan'ed advisors.

re: #71 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

re: #71 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Sorry, verbatum..

"God darnit, Mr. Godfrey, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore."

Whenever I think of Rev. Wright, I'm reminded of this:

Chieftain Iffucan of Azcan in caftan
Of tan with henna hackles, halt!

Damned universal cock, as if the sun
Was blackamoor to bear your blazing tail.

Fat! Fat! Fat! Fat! I am the personal.
Your world is you. I am my world.

You ten-foot poet among inchlings. Fat!
Begone! An inchling bristles in these pines,

Bristles, and points their Appalachian tangs,
And fears not portly Azcan nor his hoos.

The gist of it, really.

re: #48 Lucius Septimius

You'd lose that argument... the word is "paddle" or shovel, not a pointed stick. Also, according to the Adventure Network, "In the wilderness, the accepted procedure is to carry a small trowel with you so that you can dig a hole. We’re not talking a big hole, just about six or eight inches, where the most effective enzymes for breaking down excrement exist. It’s important to pick a spot where your feces will not become washed into any waterway. The best soils are dry to somewhat moist, preferably with some natural debris covering it (leaves, twigs)."

later.Have a groovy day Lizards. Oh Behaaaaaave (Or not),
Yeah baby, yeah!

re: #77 opnion

See ya. It's been a thin slice of heaven.

re: #76 LC LaWedgie

Oh, it's just for the thrill of asking them where their stick/paddle is. If they don't have one I can say then you don't follow the Bible literally.

Having had to dump in the woods, I am acquainted with the technique, it's just not something folks need to do in the ordinary course of an urban day.

I'll have to go back and look at the wording; I was sure it was stick in the original.

re: #81 taxfreekiller

Effective this truth stuff uh?

In the long run, yes.

Well, it's been swell, but now I must off and prepare myself boldly for battle.

Another Obammmunist fellow traveler

Barack Obama has a thing for Marxists. He befriends them, listens to their counsel, and he even hires them to work in his campaign. And they seem to feel the warmth. President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, who led a revolution there in 1979, says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a "revolutionary" phenomenon, and Americans are "laying the foundations for a revolutionary change." A captured computer revealed that an unknown person chatted with Marxist FARC guerillas on Obama's behalf (they believed), stating he would be the next President and US policy towards Columbia would change. Frank Marshall Davis, a dear Obama friend and mentor was as a member of the Communist Party USA. Barack Obama just seems to attract Marxists.

If the people he surrounds himself with are any indication of his core beliefs, a higher capital gains tax to punish the rich, even if it diminishes actual tax revenue, may be only the beginning. Obama's Official campaign blogger, Sam Graham-Felsen, a former writer for the leftist Nation magazine and a contributor to the Socialist Viewpoint, is certainly a believer in class warfare.

The capitalist ruling class of the United States exercises a virtual dictatorship not only over American society, but also over the entire world. This capitalist class rule is the basic cause of the poverty, wars and the degradation of the natural environment.

After being expelled from Socialist Action in 1999, we formed Socialist Workers Organization in an attempt to carry on the project of building a nucleus of a revolutionary party true to the historic teachings and program of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky.

Re. 160, 165. When I went hiking out in cougar country, I was told to carry partly because of the cougar and partly because of feral dog packs. Something stalked me once, in southeaster CO, and boy it was an uncomfortable feeling! I like being the top of the foodchain, thank you.

re: #173 BulgarWheat

I think so. She hasn't had any luck keeping food down. Sigh!

Write me later and let me know specifically so I can tailor the prayers

re: #161 rightside

Wow!

I received a powerpoint at work in my email this morning from a co-worker. It shows in very graphic detail, photos of someone who tried to steal copper cable, so he could sell it for cash. Fortunately for him, the electricity was still on and he was quickly, albeit gruesomely weeded out of the gene pool. It's amazing how much damage high current does to the body.

Heh.

I'm always saying the gene pool needs more chlorine. This way works, too!

Morning, FBV! Notice how he left us out? Huh? Wassup wit dat?

More bad news for the New York Times.

Moody's downgrades New York Times to 'Baa3'

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Moody's Investors Service on Tuesday downgraded the New York Times Co.'s senior unsecured ratings to Baa3 from Baa1 and its commercial paper rating to Prime-3 from Prime-2. The move reflects Moody's belief that New York Times' free cash flow and leverage will be significantly weaker in 2008 than previously expected due to a deterioration in newspaper advertising revenue. The Baa3 rating reflects the newspaper's significant global news and information infrastructure that supports high quality content, strong brands, and its position as a leader in prioritizing the national daily news agenda, Moody's said. The rating outlook is stable.

I have a lot of experience in dealing with rating agencies, I have gone through many of these reviews myself. Rating agencies evaluate not only the financial reports, but also the quality of and ability of the senior management at the place. Their opinion is not based on numbers alone.

So when they down grade you (especially 2 steps at once,) not only do they see bad numbers, they also see a senior management team that they believe to be incapable of turning the situation around in the foreseeable future.

Also of note is their outlook of "stable". That means that they have no intention of changing the rating up or down, anytime soon. That tells me that Moody's will need to see a lot of major improvement over a sustained amount of time before they ever consider upgrading this rating.

Good luck with that.

Good Morning! Just got done doing morning prep work, school lunches, etc... How are you?

I know that a lot of people here at LGF are familiar with David Horowitz and his web site Frontpagemag.com. For those of you who aren't, I would like to suggest that you visit, link it, and make it part of your daily surf. They have been linking to LGF more and more lately and I think we should do the same.

Heh.

I absolutely guarantee that relatives of this guy will be coming out of the wood work to sue the Dept. of Transportation in that state for "wrongful death". They will claim that the deceased thief would have generated millions for the family and was killed by a malufunction of the electric system. You watch.

Good morning Babba.
When someone pretends to be all things to all people they are like a blank canvas onto which any person or group can project anything at all. I think in kindergarten they called it fingerpainting - it may have felt good but soon found its way to the trash can.

I saw a pair of bumper stickers on a car the other day. To the left of the license plate was:

re: #220 christheprofessor

I just assume in cases like that that the two bumper stickers were placed on the car by two different people (e.g. driver and spouse) ... or two different personalities.

re: #227 JamesTKirk

{James freakin' TEEE!}

I mentioned I needed to resurrect the mower deck, really ought to get about it, lest I incur the wrath of the Committee. So have the best day possible, good people-we'll resurface if I survive the adventure.

re: #218 JamesTKirk

Yep. It's getting closer and closer to "junk bond" status, after which legal fiduciaries (such as myself) can not have it in their portfolios.

I don't have any NYT in my portfolio's anyway.

I know that will shock our resident MSM shill.

I thought about that. But then I thought, if I were going to respond to one bumper sticker I didn't like with another, I'd place the second over the first...

re: #242 christheprofessor

I thought about that. But then I thought, if I were going to respond to one bumper sticker I didn't like with another, I'd place the second over the first...

And then they place another over yours?

Eventually that leads to a stalemate, with "that side of the bumper is yours, this side is mine."

The next step is an "I'm with stupid" bumper sticker, pointing at the liberal ones on the other side of the car.

If Robert Downey Jr came out as conservative I am over joyed.
I always loved that guy.

Ahhhhhhhh, thanks rightside, right you are, but then again poor old Roger Waters has been a bit touched in the head for quite a few years now, sad to see it come to this point though...

re: #248 pingjockey

No idea. The music used in trailers is seldom also in the movie, because the soundtrack is rarely completed for trailers (particularly the early teasers), which is why you so often hear some of the same music (Hall of the Mountain King?) show up over and over in trailers...

However, it's hard to imagine not using that song somewhere in the movie, even if only over the credits - as long as they go with the original and not a lame cover.

Those cats are amazing but dangerous. City people tend to romanticize them. If you go hiking around where I live, the rangers tell you to make noise & if you see a mountain lion, try to appear bigger and don't ever run.

Friends of mine have seen them, though rarely.

THEY JUST KILLED ONE A MILE FROM THE LOUP IN CHICAGO.

Heh. Spencer's Gifts used to (may still) sell stickers of short, fat little screws. One put them over the heart in the "I (heart) my (insert dog picture here)" bumper stickers, rendering them "I screw my (dog)" stickers...

Outfit I used to work for made the IR head for a man portable missle. We got a real nice letter from the head of the spec. forces. Seems 10 A team guys and some Afghanis took on over 200 taliban with apcs' and just kicked the shit out of them. The boss let me keep a copy of the letter. The missle would hit the front of the apc and blast it clear out the back end. Dead jihadis=double plus good.
