RON PAUL

2 witness  Tue, May 6, 2008 5:24:22pm

Bottom line is this: Billary will take it right to the convention
if for no other reason to hold political power over BO's head.
Billary has get to get their buddies in positions of power in a BO
cabinet and they will take it to convention to force concessions from him.
They will try one last ditch effort at convention to get Florida and
Michigan to count and if that fails, force their operatives into BO's
government. This will go all the way to the convention folks.

“And as we’re talking today, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated,” Gore said. “And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China – and we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.”

51 Milk Toast Intolerant  Tue, May 6, 2008 5:32:34pm

The character, judgement, and decision making skills of Barack Obama is relevant to this campaign. After all, he could be our next President, thus voters have to ask themselves why Obama's association with racists and terrorists are NOT relevant to their voting decision? Because that's what the polls say, that many voters don't think these facts are important in their vote, which is disturbing. Are today's voters that easily fooled?

My last post from the previous thread after most had jumped up...

Why the Republicans will probably lose the 2008 election cycle. No platform, lately Republican's elected officials have lost vision of what the Republican party stands for. They are in love with Democrat lite(TM), bigger government, more taxes, more government intrusion. They have lost lost all connection with Newt Gingrich's "contract with America" and middle America. Most Americans have difficulty understanding any difference in domestic policy between the two parties. Only in foreign policy is their any big issue, the WOT and the occupation of Iraq. The Republicans should launch and publicize a comprehensive platform describing how they will approach the near recession, energy independence, education, social security, entitlements, illegal immigrants, etc. We are getting near zero leadership from any of our major parties on any of these important issues. If the Republicans would simply make a stand on issues, and vigorously defend a conservative platform, it would work wonders for the Republican party....

Fox News is trying to low-ball me. Grrrrrr.

Earlier today they requested some of my photos to put on a show tonight. I said, "Sure! But how much will you pay me for one-time broadcast rights?" The answer? "Pay you? Well, bloggers should be just happy to get the exposure." I insisted on some payment -- I'm long out of paitence with just supplying these people (i.e. the MSM) with content as some sort of over-eager volunteer. They caved a little, asked how much -- I named a VERY low and more-than-reasonable fee. I even sent them the requested photos pre-emtively to speed up the process for their production teams.

That was four hours ago. Haven't heard a peep out of them since.

They're probably out scouting around the blogs trying to find some substitute free content from a photographer more willing to debase him- or herself for the publicity.

Maybe they'll come crawling back when they realize: When you want the best, you gotta pay.

And the blogosphere is not some sort of free supermarket of content you can glean at your leisure.

My rule of thumb is: I'll let a fellow blogger re-post my photos for free. But the MSM? Pay up or shut up.

I can understand why you want to move.

I know what you mean. I gave up good opportunities for advancing my career in music because the love of music and the pure joy of making it was more important than making money from it.

I have to agree. I'm a classically trained vocalist with 15 years of formal training, and a background in opera and classical performance. At one time I made quite a bit of money with my voice, but I disliked having my creativity stunted by other people. I stopped performing when I realized that I just wasn't enjoying it any more.

These days, my singing is limited to bawdy Irish pub tunes and laments from the auld sod.

O/T Prediction:

"A posting attributed to Bent on the church's web site on Monday said:

"Jesus had not committed any crimes, so the authorities had to invent some crimes to crucify him over. It is the same for me also. I have committed no crimes, but many crimes are being imagined and concocted in the minds of men to try and kill me again."

Bent had predicted the end of the world last Oct. 31."

I'm prepared to go out on a limb here and suggest that 100% of religious maniacs/zealots/fanatics are criminally-motivated, mentally ill or, in the case of the followers, of extremely low self-esteem and/or common sense.

re: #181 NoSubmission

I say make the Daily Show pay. That show is so highly rated and their overhead is nearly zilch.

Well, it all depends on the author getting half a word in edgewise on John Stewart, which I hear is nigh-on impossible. The interviews, from what I've heard, are basically just another excuse for his sarcastic jibes, and the interviewee has little chance to acutally say what they want to say. So it's quite likely John Stweart will monopolize the conversation or at least guide it in other directions that won't allow mention of individual bloggers.

Like I said, I never actually seen the show.

I can't really get them to pay, since there's no plan to show any of my images.

You did good Grammy, My employer did the same thing with the electing a CEO form of government, worked well to start and went downhill since, most of the county is praying that our legislature will change it but it will take years... Too much power in one hand.

We have a County Exec in King Co. WA. Home to Seattle and 2000 more ballots than voters in an election that gave the govenorship to the (D) by 129 votes.

Ron (tax to the max) Sims tried pushing on executive authority a 60/40/10 rule for rural King Co. 60/40/10 rule is 60% percent of any property must remain undisturbed native vegetation, 40% improved land with no more than 10% (of the total) out of the 40% impermeable surface, buildings pavement etc...

Of course, if Obama loses it isn't because of his leftist, elitist views. It is because we're all racists.

re: #141 Globular Cluster

No it did not. I'm surprised how badly Hillary lost there.

"G-C" -

Look at the DEMOGRAPHICS. Lemmesee now - "D" Primary, 40% of registered "D's" are African-American, voting at about +/- 90% for Senator Obama. That translates into a baseline of about 36% of the vote.
AND, I cannot blame NC "A-A" voters for voting for Sen. Obama, as I was a bit "tribal" in my 2000 vote for Gore-Lieberman. It ALWAYS feels good the first time one of "YOURS" is promoted for high office. To win, Sen. Obama had to win another +/- 15 percentage points. That equates to about 6% winning 10% of the non "A-A" vote, 12% equaling 20% of that vote, and 18% equaling 30% of that vote, and insuring a win. NOT as hard as it might look. That is all.

A life long friend and drummer friend told me the drums and bass in any band are the essence of the appeal to any particular bands appeal and also suggested the other instruments are only garnish (guitar and/or keyboards) He was speaking from a rock and roll experience. I guffawed at that, being primarily a guitarist, then and now think he may be correct.

Without solid bass drums, you really got nothing.

Under Obama's tax plan self employment taxes in Oregon go up to 60%. I just started making money for the first time in my life and I will have to severely limit my income to stay under the threshold were i'll have to pay taxes. I can quite happily live off very little money.

My wife and I have talked about disinvesting if the Dems win. We are the offspring small business owning, military serving families. Her father was an owner of a major insurance companies agency after the Army and my father owned a trucking company after the Navy. She is an Attorney, and I am an Engineer. She is currently a managing partner and will eventually be a rainmaker for her firm. However, we own rural legacy properties and may cash out and go back to our roots to get a headstart on the inevitable. We will not be slaves to the socialists and would just as soon raise turnips and hogs in Appalachia while home schooling our children. We may have peace row while that way, at least until they impute income from our property or press us into service for the Glory of the State as experts in our respective fields.

Don't do Baja. About 10 years ago, the Mexicans decided to "invalidate" a lot of 99 year leases that gringos had on Baja property. They lost their ass.

I hope Obama gets it. He wins in the states that the Reps will surely take in the general election. Hillary, in contrast, wins in the states that we'll have to fight for.

Obama is simply an easier win ... but not an easy win.

Does Wall Street write mortgages?

Actually, these days Killian most of the big Wall Street firms have acquired mortgage servicing companies that own most of the mortagages in the country, especially the subprime.

I've heard differently but I'll take your warning. Lots of my friends have grabbed land on the shore, etc. I want something cheap and isolated. Just for me.

Doesn't matter, though, at least for now. I can't unload my house in this lousy selling market and probably won't be able to for another year. And I don't have the $$$ to buy land without selling this expensive, energy-sucking-but-beautiful home first.

Yesterday I put ubuntu 8 on VPC 2007. Sound didn't work and screen resolution was limited to 800x600. Had to start in safe mode. It used only one processor. Today I stuck it on VMWare 6. Sound and resolution are fine. Uses two processors, much faster in every way, boot, restore, app launch. Didn't need to touch the terminal except to install the optional vmware tools.

re: #454 MandyManners

I wonder how it got the name "Java."

Java — programming language
Originally called "D", but with the connotation of a near-failing mark on a report card the language was renamed Oak by Java-creator James Gosling, from the tree that stood outside his window. The programming team at Sun had to look for a substitute name as there was already another programming language called Oak. "Java" was selected from a list of suggestions, primarily because it is a popular slang term for coffee, especially that grown on the island of Java. As the programmers drank a lot of coffee, this seemed an appropriate name.
