Is he playing in front of a Confessional ?

Man I wish I could do that

( play the guitar, not play in front of a confessional )

Oh, wait, look guys -- there's some cool guitar to be listed to, here.

Very nice - thanks Charles! Say are you thinking of maybe doing another one of your multi-song, multi musician threads anytime soon? Near as I can tell, Imeem let's you play 'em for free and it's really easy to find artist or song or video on Imeem, too!

A preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with.

Youtube has been running funky for me lately. Keeps pausing by itself, then restarting.

21 realwest  Fri, May 30, 2008 8:55:50pm

BTW ALL Y'ALL - speaking of music, there's a stupid commercial on TV now, that starts with a guy looking for a new TV set and the background song is "We want it all, we want it all, we want it all, and we want it now!" and I know I've heard that song before (no, it's not the DNC national anthem! LOL!) but can't remember the group or name of the song, though for some reason I think it was Queen, but Imeem searches show nothing at all!
Anyone know what I'm talking about and/or who the artist (a group I believe) are or song title is?

22 Cognito  Fri, May 30, 2008 8:56:09pm

A preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with.

As a healthy, wealthy and wise man once said, "That is a rule up with which I cannot put."

No, YOU didn't make it about you, but all the time wasted trying to get a simple point about blatent media bias rings like a church bell.
As for the music, I'm on dial up so it will take a few minutes to load. I generally skip those and 99% of the Eewtube vids.

And I sometimes have that problem with YouTube also. I finally got rid of it by dumping cache and cookies and all temp internet files - a thorough cleaning and now YouTube works fine - maybe a question of available RAM ?

I like that guy. Nicholas Barron is pretty badass.

I can hear a strong B.B. King influence in the voice. But B.B. could never play the guitar like that.

re: #36 jaunte Well shoot, I just put in "I Want It All (Queen Rocks)" and Imeem picked it up under music just like that!
Don't know what I did wrong to begin with but thanks again.
BTW - re: Imeem - sooner or later they're gonna cut you down to 30 second clips of a song unless you join (it's free to join, and you have to give out your e-mail addy and I've received one or two pieces of e-mail from 'em) but it's really worth it. There are SO MANY pieces of music you can pick out in so many different ways and the sound quality is generally SUPERB.

She's looking like a cheap date at this point.

Maybe it's the beer talking Huma, but you've got a butt that just won't quit. They've got these big chewy pretzels here that are great with beer. Five dollars? Get outta here.

In the last image, one of the dark things dangling under the cell is supposedly a large tornado (the other black object may be a tree that is much closer to the photographer.)

I can hear a strong B.B. King influence in the voice. But B.B. could never play the guitar like that.

Very talented but too bad he doesn't record someplace with better acoustics. Also, I was waiting for him to do an instrumental but was disappointed when it never came.
BTW, why would BB King want to play Lucille like that?

re: #99 joecitizen Yes sir, you're correct - when I heard Dylan and the Band do it, it was after Jimi came out with his version and at first I just thought it was the Band (and especially Robbie Robertson) going off on their own, but later realized that Dylan was crankin' it up (and would later do it even more so with another group of musicians who's names escape me).

Here's an optimistic photo that a typical Dem would utterly despise. How dare those greedy evil corporate types try to unite people!

Its a cap toss with the highest achieving seniors from all the Metro Detroit high schools. It flies in the face of Democratic party mentality. 1) It included kids from all high schools, including religious and charter schools. 2) It rewards high achievers, not victims 3) Selection was based solely on merit.

That picture sums up whats wrong with the Democratic party. They would NEVER endorse such an event.

So, apparently, the only reason Obama won his election to the IL State Senate was because he got all of his opponents disqualified, including one because some of the signatures that got her onto the ballot weren't in cursive. "Count every vote" my ass.

Couple that with the fact that he only had to beat Alan Keyes in '03 and Obama's never had to fight in an election before.

Sorry, had to run for a bit so couldn't respond right away.

I was out of the country for quite a bit and LGF kinda kept me sane (but the hours were all wrong to post). It's always an eye opener to see first hand what people in Europe think about Americans - and what they have to say about President Bush (even after all these years - a real shocker for me). Oh, and they all love Obama.

Luckily, it's never gotten that far.

I've never gotten the slightest indication that these people have a clue where I live -- they're not even sure what American state I'm in (despite the give-away evidence in the photo section of zombietime).

I take that back -- a couple years ago, I did get a creepy Mo mail sent not to my zombietime address, but to my private email address. Really really freaked me out for a while -- how in the world did they find it out? I worried for a while but nothing ever came of it. I later realized what they did, and it was reassuring -- somewhat. I can't reveal it, but I knew then that they still didn't know who I was. Silence ever since then.

That was the one and only breach of the zombie/[real name] barrier. A fluke.

Honestly, I don't think without your presence there that anybody is going to get a well-rounded sense of the DNC. Most of the media will just gloss over any problems so that the Dems look united. Even Fox will probably go easy on them(given that Murdoch has already admitted to promoting bias in his news organization's reporting).

And that leaves...zombie...as our only hope.

re: #292 gop_patriot

I know, apparently there are a lot of them. But not this straight woman. I tried to watch it once and found myself wanting to smack everyone on the show. So I changed over to something else. Blech.

I've never watched even one second of it.

But everything I've read about it says the same thing:

It's a show about gay men in New York, but as a gimmick they used female actresses to portray the men. I thought this was universally known, but to my astonishment I just discovered that many of the show's fans don't even know it's about gay men.

The writers (all gay) have openly discussed in interviews how the show is their attempt to "queer the culture" and introduce straight people to gay urban lifestyles -- using the trick of making it seem to be about straight women.

Also, they purposely chose actresses who look like men in drag. That's part of the in-joke.

I'm still surprised not everyone knows this.

I was suprised to discover that some actual straight women watch that "Sex and the City" show.

My female friends (most of them straight) were so into that show, I couldn't get them to a regular bar for a drink unless I pitched the "regular thing" as some kitchy charm to the place.

Well, from what I read, the show's writers write the whole thing imagining gay male characters -- their personalities, the behavior, their speech, and so on. And then the script is later edited so the lines make sense being said by female actresses. But basically, the show is about gay men, as portrayed by females (whether or not those females seem like trannies to the viewer).

By the way, there are no Uno humans, there are zero human purebreds in modern human reality, we are all, in fact, genetic mutts. You can continue to use "race" as a descriptor of differences in human appearance but it has little genetic meaning. What you can't do is put up a living human being as the prototypical example of any given "race", like Uno, for the purebred beagle, because no such human exists. We've been interbred too much over the centuries and there's no going back, there are no purebred human "races".

While I agree that most people are mutts, I think that there still are some "purebreeds" around. Just about everybody in the Americas is likely to be a mutt, but somewhere in the Australian Outback there is a 100% aborigine, and somewhere on a mountain in Yunnan province there is someone who's a close to being 100% "Asian" as you can get, and so on. Not every group has been globalized and interbred (though most have).

In the end, our dispute may just all come down to a difference of opinion on terminology -- some people (understandably so) find the term "race" offensive due to historical abuse. I accept that. I just use it because it theoretically describes what we're referring to, instead of the cumbersome "(originally) geographic-based differences in appearance passed genetically from one generation to the next" or some similar unwieldy phrase.

Well we're in full agreement on that.

In an American context, the old racist attitude is the "one drop rule" -- even one drop of African blood in your veins means you count as a "black" person. Which of course is completely ridiculous (and was a racist custom designed purposely to discourage interbreeding). For reasons I've never understood, that attitude has persisted to this day, and children (such as Obama) who are half of one thing and half another are encouraged (commanded, actually) to self-identify as "black," even though they could just as easily self identify as whatever else race is in the mix.

In the last few decades the concept of identity politics has spuin out of control. The days of "Pinky" are long gone. Obama would be laughed out of the race if he announced he considered himself "white," even though there's no reason he shouldn't have that option open to him.

The only bright spot is that there are so many mixed-race children in the up-and-coming generations that being "mixed" is now emerging as a category all its own. So kids aren't bullied into choosing a category. Hopefully that trend will continue.

There are times when I grip the wheel that my focus is akin to that of a man about to be hanged. Many times I have narrowly averted destruction (hydroplaning, skids, a-holes that stop on a dime at high speeds for no reason, etc.).

The majority of those instances can be attributed to the maintenance of the vehicles I've driven (fresh brakes, fresh tires, tight suspension, ect.) just as much as they might be attributed to my instincts.

I am by no means a combat hardened pro. None of my experience includes shots fired. Still, I don't hardly suck.

re: #372 zombie

Well we're in full agreement on that.

In an American context, the old racist attitude is the "one drop rule" -- even one drop of African blood in your veins means you count as a "black" person. Which of course is completely ridiculous (and was a racist custom designed purposely to discourage interbreeding). For reasons I've never understood, that attitude has persisted to this day, and children (such as Obama) who are half of one thing and half another are encouraged (commanded, actually) to self-identify as "black," even though they could just as easily self identify as whatever else race is in the mix.

And then there's this election cycle.

The only bright spot is that there are so many mixed-race children in the up-and-coming generations that being "mixed" is now emerging as a category all its own. So kids aren't bullied into choosing a category. Hopefully that trend will continue.

Good sentiment.

OK. How's THIS to stir up some comments?

HOLY CRAP. Linked from your link, at Ace of Spades (Pelosi's comment in italics):

Having blurted out, probably accidentally, that the surge was in fact successful, Granny Rictus McBotoxImplants now scrambles to credit the enemy nation murdering our troops with the victory our troops accomplished through blood, sweat, tears, and more blood.

It's not our troops. It's not Petraeus' leadership. It's not the Iraqis turning on the Al Qaeda murderers. No -- it's Iran's goodwill.

Well, the purpose of the surge was to provide a secure space, a time for the political change to occur to accomplish the reconciliation. That didn’t happen. Whatever the military success, and progress that may have been made, the surge didn’t accomplish its goal.

And some of the success of the surge is that the goodwill of the Iranians-they decided in Basra when the fighting would end, they negotiated that cessation of hostilities-the Iranians.

Good God in Heaven.

Along the lines of speciation and dubious purity...

Meet Homo Stupidicus.


Society today is composed of two distinct species. The first, Homo sapiens...what we consider to be normal intelligent logical people who understand cause and effect, people that understand nothing is free and everthing costs something.
The second species is Homo Stupidicus. This species believes that they are entiteled to have all the wonderful things in life but that they should not have to work for it. The believe that they should not have to risk anything but still reap success. They believe that government can create money out of thin air and should give it to everyone that doesn’t have enough.
Homo Stupidicus has grown, prospered and bred to become a majority of the populace because Homo Sapiens had a minor brain fart and created welfare, social security and modern medicine. Prior to these inventions Homo Stupidicus rarely lived long enough to breed.
We have shortcircuited the filter in the gene pool....Homo Stupidicus is now breeding rampantly and has reached a critical mass where the members of this species outnumber Homo Sapiens. They continue to demand more and more from the productive species while becoming less and less capable of self control, self direction, self reliance and at times self awareness.
The two species are virtually indistinguishable physically. You cannot determine which species you are confronted with by simply looking at them. You have to listen to them to find out whether they are sapient...intelligent, or stupidicus. Homo Stupidicus will invariably make their presence know by the socialistic bleatings they utter.
Most Homo Sapiens are politically conservative or independent. Homo Stupidicus is almost exclusively liberal or apolitical....meaning they don’t care who is in charge as long as the food stamps and welfare check shows up every month.

not even the same thing....

fresh mint in the bottom of the shaker, add ice

good vodka from the freezer, and simple syrup.

2 shots vodka and anywhere from a tsp to a tbls of simple syrup, depending on preference. add the vodka first, or the syrup will freeze to the ice.

shake vigorously, and pour through fine mesh to catch mint leaf pieces.

adjust mint volume for flavor preference, as with the syrup.

Political Foes Turn Screws on Musharraf

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — For eight years, President Pervez Musharraf dominated Pakistan and charmed the West as a straight-talking ally in the war on terror.

Now his political foes are in the driving seat and the former army chief is a beleaguered figure, under mounting pressure to resign.

Yet he retains the support of U.S. President George W. Bush, and Musharraf seems in no mood to give way, even though the parties in the new civilian government are arrayed against him.

In a significant shift this week, Asif Ali Zardari, the leader of the largest party in the coalition that took power after crushing the president's allies in February elections, explicitly called for Musharraf's resignation. He had earlier appeared willing to work with him.

"We believe Musharraf must go because the people of Pakistan no longer want him," said party spokesman Farhatullah Babar.

"Mint Julep Martini"

by good i meant "not that $9/1.75L schise"..... the Burnett brand at Trader Joes is quite serviceable straight or mixed, and that's what's in the freezer currently. as for syrup, i just use some of the hummingbird crack we always have on hand..... it's a bit stronger than simple syrup, but it's always fresh and it saves me the trouble of making up a separate batch for bar tending.

i've got 20 feeders in the back yard, and they last ~2 days at most. during migration and winter cold snaps, i'm refilling them daily or more.

everyone says to make nectar 4-1, water to sugar. i'm running 2-1 or so, sugar to water. on the batches i get carried away on, i get floating crystals when it cools and i have to add a skosh more water to get in all in solution. i buy my sugar 50#s at a time from Fart & Smile, and a bag lasts 3-4 weeks max.

upside is, we have *lots* of hummers year 'round, and 2H6 is a birder.

What's with the "new" youtube volume control? It's partially been around for awhile but it's on most videos now. It's annoying, harder to manipulate etc. For those of us that still don't have a Cray Computer and a home T1 at least we can still right click and select Quality=Low until the liberal "programmers" take that away soon. The youtube video 'positioning' bar is still coarse and not very granular. Wish the (Youtube/Google) liberal "elite" would test their own software once in awhile.
