Only evening here. ;)

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can rent it

I'm more then willing to try out being rich. If I don't like it I can always go back to being poor.
// {;-)™

I'm willing to try it.

Countdown begins.

Not the key, but certainly one vehicle.

Gotta switch work environs...

BBIAW as Karridine

Hello, everyone, here's my latest:
Give Us Liberty, Give Them Death

I'm not convinced about this whole money not buying happiness business. Clothes and high-end cookware make me very happy. I'd be willing to give money a try.

Money's not everything, but it's a Whole lot.

Have a great night!

I must go, maybe wreak some havoc somewhere. Start an insurrection, I dunno.

I am kinda bored...

have a good night every one

If I had enough money*, I'd buy one of these.

*you know, won a zillion dollars in the lottery

You know, the worst part about trying to drill your way out of an oil crises is that you end up with all this oil! Sheeesh. Then you have too much oil and the price goes down , so people think they are entitled to drive, manufacture, breed...Ewww. We must stop it now!

Obama is a buffon on foreign policy and McCain appears to have (mostly) the right answers on energy policy. How can November be anything but a win?

well cant say much my better half of 16 years had a minor breakdown probably because meds arent working threw shit at me and totally flipped out i couldnt reason with her called 911 cops made her go to crisis who only seen her after she calmed down so they released her oh and to get back at me she gave or told the cops where i had a joint stashed so now i'm looking at a 300-500 dollar fine and need to find a cheap place where i can move to with my cats the worst part she is now off the new meds and in a day or two will be really nice to me i might have to tell the magistrate to just give me 30-90 days since i refuse to do probation or give the weasels the fine money

When the entire MSM of the USA (sans FOXNEWS), spins everything in Obama's favor and paints McCain as an out of touch OLD GUY...then, what should be an easy win, turns into a crushing defeat

After spending a night in the Newark Airport, my own bed is bliss. Never book the last flight out, my advice.

Joan Rivers needs a key for her mouth.

I see more Dems in Congress want to take over the oil companies.

Where will these freak leftist/communist Democrats stop?

I have ideas, but I'll keep them to myself.

The media did the same thing with Jon Carry vs Bush in 2004, and they even spotted Kerry a "winning in a landslide" media push to try and keep mid and western voters home, and Bush still won.

I still, until proven otherwise, have faith in the average hard working Americans, who will decide this next election.

Sheesh. A joint? $120 and go home. Tell the Judge you needed something to bring you back when the old lady was sane. You did all you could. But just couldn't deal with mood drugs. By the way, the warrant was bad. (there was none)

Because no one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the public?

Actually, I think McCain will win, prepare for seething from NOI.

And all these predictions of Obama winning will help. Obama supporters will stay home and all the McCain supporters will vote.

And we might still have a nice, unscripted Obama moment on national TV that really shows how empty he is.

On the other hand, Soros could screw up the economy so much people hope for change.

re: #16 JimmyTheC re: #16 JimmyTheClaw

sorry for your troubles--reminds me of savage nation--last i heard from him, his wife asked him for a divorce--sigh

re: #26 republic

Jon Carry is and was an assh*le...Obama is a black guy (a clean and articulate one). He also has a fanatical following that John F-ing Kerry could only dream of. This is different than 2004, much different. GWB had his problems, but, in the end the American electorate trusted him more. Obama is a different candidate than Kerry. Looking at this election with your eyes wide open, it would seem McCain should win...but, I am very worried about this election, very worried...

actually the cop was cool in fact he asked me what to do with it (i said dump it and squish it underfoot) i guess i will have to wait to see what he does with a little weed and my pipe but i'm pissed because they wont take her seriously till she threatens me or herself with a carving knife (local mental health system really sucks they are pill pushers not able to treat mental illness) really bummed out they also pointed out my drivers licence is expired so i cannot even get her to doctor now

re: #22 republic

[Snip...]

I still, until proven otherwise, have faith in the average hard working Americans, who will decide this next election.

I still remember 1976 when Jimmy Carter was put in the White House by the stupid voter looking for change. I'm expecting the even dumber voter of 2008 to put Obama in the White House this year hoping that things will really change this time.

At this time in '04 the MSM had already declared John F'n Kerry the winner.

History repeats itself.

Not to go off on a rant here but it is always the others guys elected official that is a worthless piece of shit,not Bob,hell I voted for him twice...the school system sucks,but not our school,hell Ms. Jennings does shit that is good for them kids at our school even if she does talk about Castro as a God...I am all for nuclear power 800 miles away, I went to wal-mart in the next County and I was the only person speaking english,but that would never happen here...my boy isn`t in a gang,it`s all them other boys...them police tried to frame my daughter for what them assholes had in the car when they was giving her a ride home...I trust my city council and I will be damned if them lying ass fed`s say they took bribes...talk about my Pastor like that, I`ll kick your ass...honey I swear I had to work late...yesterday!

re: #32 Da_Beerfreak

I think you may be correct. If McCain keeps drinking deeply from the Cup of Stupid, we may be singing Hail to Da Chief.

hmm-expired drivers license--pipe and dope--any personal resonsiblity there ?

did i kill the thread? hello?

High school really ruined physics for me. I had an interest in it for a while as a kid; I read "The Universe in a Nutshell" unceasingly. I got out of it, for some reason that is now lost to me. Then high school came along and threw me all these curve balls that left a dent in my head = I really started hating physics.

Then within the past few days I started thinking about it again, and I realized that my problem wasn't with physics: it was the math entangled with it. As long as I keep away from the math (and approach it very cautiously), I can understand the concepts just fine.

And I'd completely forgotten how much fun it is.

re: #17 Desert Dog

I recently hosted visitors from the mid-west (where I originally hail from) and they're not exactly staunch conservatives (teachers union) but they were vehemently anti-Obama. They also gave me an indication that nobody they knew back home was either. They didn't know what he was all about (they're from Illinois!) and they were worried about his lack of experience. It gave me some hope that regular people aren't being fooled.

re: #35 rawmuse

I think you may be correct. If McCain keeps drinking deeply from the Cup of Stupid, we may be singing Hail to Da Chief.

Having McCain as a candidate is like watching a blind guy wander unknowingly onto a tightrope. You can yell directions, but if he doesn't get it, he's going to fall.

Unfortunately, he's going to fall on us. :o

well really-pot head--didnt renew license-what do you think? im not tolent of that sart of behavior

re: #30 Desert Dog
Being worried is natural. Really. But I've seen the breakdown in polls and when they get to the question of "trust" McCain beat Obama hands down, even among Dems and Independents. I also think that the majority of the Democratic Party could call itself the silent majority. Obama's base is made up, almost entirely, by the extreme left wing of the Dem party.
I still think the reason a majority of voters went for Bush v Kerry (and a real majority, over 50%) was because they trusted Bush, in spite of all the lying and conniving the MSM did (remember Rathergate and the phenominally GREAT WORK done by Charles?). And I still think the majority of Americans, once they're inside the voting booth, will pull the lever for the candidate they trust the most.

re: #31 JimmyTheClaw

Take deep breath. Deal with issues one at time. Drivers license, family doctor (who will not be concerned about joint unless you have high blood pressure) about issues, wife's medications with her doctor, letter to wife of your concern. Menopause and near menopause is a bitch. Particularly to women who believe that they should not have to work anymore.

re: #40 DesertSage

Saudi Arabia, and the rest of OPEC make nothing. They did not even find and develop the largess they have been bestowed...they are just lucky...hard work, innovation, cultural values and responsibility have not been part of their histories...

Time is not money. Your time is more valuble then money. Money allows you to free more time.

Minus the joint- and not that there's anything wrong with that- I just went through the same thing a few years ago with now ex-wife #2.

Sorry that you're having to go through this. It's a horror story for anyone to live through.

Oh, and hello, everyone.

re: #42 kynna

To put it in a nutshell...McCain was the most politically correct the republicans had to offer...!

#22 republic
I still, until proven otherwise, have faith in the average hard working Americans, who will decide this next election.

And exactly how do you define, in terms of behavior and belief, the "average hard working American?" Good luck trying to answer that, and even better luck trying to get people to agree.

The bottom line is that McCain can not win without the support of the conservative base, and right now, he doesn't have it.

re: #46 pat

WHAT? menopause? i went through it--a hot flash or three-- didnt make me smoke dope-or go crazy like jmmys wife-

re: #38 philosoteric

I was the opposite. I did great in high school physics, but I never really grasped the basic concepts. What little I did understand I've happily forgotten.
But I love math and was always good at it.
I'd rather solve a bunch of meaningless equations than understand why something works the way the way it does!

Money won't buy you good health. It may buy you the best medical care in the World, but sometimes even that won't save you.
I'll take good health over all the money I could dream of.

Sounds more like he is describing a mental health issue with his wife, not menopause. IMHO.

re: #36 mikeymom

hmm-expired drivers license--pipe and dope--any personal resonsiblity there ?

drivers license was my bad but a pipe and a pinch of weed deep inside my desk drawer are different (she said well if i'm goin down so is he) and worst of all i cant just up and go and move 15 years has a lot of baggage and a lot of our stuff is tied together on the third i will squirell 50 bucks aside to renew my drivers license but untill then i have to barricade a door to sleep which really sucks

re: #52 mikeymom

But combined with a certain expectation of unfullfilled dreams or social status, it can be a debilitating thing. That is all I am saying.

re: #38 philosoteric

You could always try building machines and systems that illustrate the properties without solving the equations (since others have solved them before).

re: #51 xleatherneck

I agree...I held my nose and voted for Bush in 2000...then in 2004, I did the same...he was not what I wanted, but 100000000% better than the alternative. He at least paid lip service to conservatives and counted on them to come out in droves to elect him (which we did). McCain seems to regard the conservative wing of his party as part of the problem. We will not come out in droves for him. Add that fact to almost cult-like status Sen. Obama has...it will be closer than the optimists in this blog think it will be...even with Obama's Gaffe machine running full blast and his naive and irresponsible policies...McCain is not very motivating and will not inspire anyone to come out and vote. Only FEAR of what Obama wants to do will achieve that...

Sorry to disagree with you, but the bottom line for conservatives is vote for McCain or watch Obama and a HUGE majority of Dems in both houses change America in ways that would take us all decades to undo.
And no, McCain wasn't anything like my first or even second choice, but he is a hell of a lot better than Obama.

she doesnt work like me long term dissability i deal with mine by occasional joint and a 40 at night (if i want to sleep more than 4 or 5 hours). tried the mental health drugs i seem to get those nasty side affects you see on adds on tv etc... as far as menopause she read the warnings on a patch from her gyno and wont use it. i'm at my wits end because i still really love her and this might be coming to an end

re: #78 philosoteric

Hm, that's an idea. I get a big impression that in order to properly do physics, you need the maths, however. Am I wrong?

The math has all been done by others.

One of the advantages to being human is to learn from the struggle of others, right?

Physics is a field that works, if you know the math or not. Plus the experiments are fun, if you are collecting data or not.

The math just let's you predict what will happen before you do it.

After you prove the theory by experiments, it might make the math make more sense...

In example: trebuchets work if you know the math or not, but the math makes you more accurate.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Einstein wasn't all that great at math. You do not need to know math to understand the theories of relativity.

I loved physics, and should have gone into it. My math is good but not great, but if you can get your mind around the concepts, that's what counts. After all, it's not like physicists do the math with pencil and paper.

My experience, and from what I read of Jimmy's, is way past the bitch part. We're talking psychotic monster.

Multiple police cars and ambulances in the yard at least once a week towards the end of my marriage. A group of cops pulling me aside and saying "she says you're beating her, but she doesn't have any bruises. You need to leave her and town, because we will have to take you in next time regardless."

Needless to say... I now live in a different state.

Your welcome. I hope you have a peacefull sleep tonight.

You deserve it.

I wanted to direct everyone to a concept that I have been following on my blog. It is a vicous tool of retaliation called sham peer review.

It targets doctors for all sorts of reasons and it winds up casting them in a net of corruption.

I have been able to follow the stories of several doctors from all parts of the country and there are thousands more. For instance, here is the story of a doctor that was targeted after he tried to report on a serial killer nurse in South Carolina. Here is the story of a doctor in Texas that was targeted by her corrupt insurance carrier. Also in Texas, the corrupt medical board systematically targets doctors for retaliation. A nurse in a Texas hospital was targeted after he reported on illegal drug testing in the hospital. Finally, in Rhode Island, a doctor was targeted after she reported on a case of child abuse.

I am also working on a story about a doctor in Pennsylvania that was targeted after he reported on child abuse however that story is not quite done.

re: #201 Bob in Breckenridge

/Of course, we all pay one way or another, right?

Ain't that the truth!

My buddy Denny has a great rant at his blog [Link: www.grouchyoldcripple.com...]

All Oil All The Time

So I'm hammered. Y'know, back when I started blogging and was still working for IBM, a lot of my posts were written when I was under the influence of adult beverages. My rants were a lot better then. So, here I am on dialup discussing oil. Jesus H. Christ, there are some really fucking stupid people in this country. And these dipshits vote.

Exhibit 1 is from The Vent.

Bush and the Republicans controlled Congress for six years, and they couldn't pass legislation to drill in Alaska, Gulf Coast or build more refineries. Pelosi and Reid have had a majority in Congress for only 1 1/2 years, and you blame them for these high gas prices. Typical right-wing conservative Republican.
You asinine idiot! Go back to watching American Idol and Do You Know How to Dance. You obviously haven't been paying any attention. For those six years Bush and the Republicans were trying to drill in ANWR. Y'see they have this thing in the Senate (for a booger eatin' moh-ron like you, that's one of the houses of gummint. The other being the House of Representatives.) called a filibuster. The Dimocrats filibustered drilling in ANWR. It requires 60 votes to stop a filibuster. Unfortunately, the Republicans could not muster 60 votes.

The Dimocrats have been against all new drilling. Since they took over Congress gas prices have gone up from $2.13 per gallon to $4 a gallon. Here's a clue for you: Colonel Mustard, in the library with the lead pipe. Now go back to watching Survivor.

What else was in the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation? Yeah. Another cease fire between Israel and Hamas. Yeah. Hamas will honor that for maybe a day at the most.

More flooding in the Midwest. Lots of looting. People shooting at helicopters. Oh wait! That was Nawlins. In the Midwest, people are following evacuation orders. They're helping out sandbagging the levees. They're not waiting for the gummint. Prolly none of them will be lving in FEMA trailers. Didja know that there are still refugees from Nawlins living in hotels? Yep! Some of them might even one day go out and look for a job. That is when they get around to it. I meant to blog on that earlier this week but I didn't get around to it. I was waiting for the gummint to help me out.

But this post is about oil. McRINO and Chimpy McHaliburton Bushitler have finally come to their senses and are calling for offshore drilling.

President Bush plans to make a renewed push today to get Congress to end a long-standing ban on offshore oil and gas drilling, echoing a call by GOP presidential candidate John McCain.
I am so fucked! This is an AP story and I expect their lawyers to come after me and charge me $1 million a word for citing their article.

With oil prices soaring and motorists paying $4 a gallon for gasoline, political pressures have been growing for more domestic oil and gas production.
Just remember, Nancy Pelosi said that if we turned Congress over to the Dimocrats they would fix the high gas prices. Turns out their definition of "fixing gas prices" meant doubling them. Great job Nancy.

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate for president, opposes lifting the ban on offshore drilling and says that allowing exploration now wouldn't affect gasoline prices for at least five years.
WTF? Does this idiot realize how stupid this sounds? Let's do nothing. In five years when gas is $6 a gallon he can say that if we allow exploration it won't affect gas prices for five years when they will be $8 a gallon. This is gonna be our next president. Think about this as you are spending $50 to fill up your tank. This dipstick will make Jimmah Carter look like a good president.

Part 2 to follow...

Man I could go on forever. Robert Samuelson has an op-ed about what is ahead.

We all know that gasoline is at $4 a gallon and oil is around $135 a barrel. But if you think that's the end of the story, don't talk to economist Jeffrey Rubin of CIBC World Markets. By Rubin's reckoning, we've barely passed the halfway point on a steady march upward that will take gasoline to $7 a gallon and oil to $225 by 2012. Despite fluctuations, the underlying rise, he says, will have pervasive and surprising side effects. Among them:
Thank Chuck "the schmuck" Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Dick "Turban" Durban", Harry Reid, Jug Hussein Ears, Thunder Rodent Thighs, and the rest of the Dimocrat Party and the RINOs.

U.S. manufacturers benefit, because rising ocean-freight costs —- reflecting fuel prices —- make imports more expensive. Some production returns to the United States, and some shifts from Asia to closer exporters (Mexico over China). Since 2000, estimates Rubin, the cost of shipping a 40-foot container from East Asia has gone from $3,000 to $8,000. With oil at $200 a barrel, the shipping cost would be $15,000.
That's the good news.

Inflation becomes more stubborn. For years, the Federal Reserve has focused on so-called core inflation —- prices minus energy and food. The justification is that large food and energy-price changes usually reverse themselves. But if they move steadily higher, that logic collapses. "While core inflation may be barely over 2 percent, that's only of solace if you don't eat or drive," Rubin says. Overall inflation is twice that, about 4 percent
Which means Paulson will have to raise interest rates as we're going into a recession. Hello stagflation. Hello Jimmah Carter's second term, but hey, we will have elected our first black president (as long as we don't count BJ) so we will have proved that we have overvcome racism.

Free at last! Free at last! Thank God! Free at last! If it only didn't cost so much fucking money to be free at last.

Two distressed industries —- home building and autos —- suffer further. "In two years, there will be fewer Americans driving," he says. Higher gasoline prices push people to mass transit and car pools. Home prices take another hit, especially in distant suburbs with long commutes. "People won't be able to afford what they used to afford," he says.
The libs will finally do sumpin' about sprawl. Fuck the American dream. Think about that as you vote for Dimocrats.

Finally, the holy crap moment. The AJC actually had an editorial about not blaming big oil. No. This can't be true. I must be hallucinating. All I had was a couple of Stoly's on the rocks and a half bottle of wine. How did this editorial get past Cynthia Tucker?

Guess I better go have a glass of grappa. Or two.

I'm bringing this forward from the bloodbath of an ID thread. Mostly because it didn't belong there, partially because I think it deserves a morning shift perusal, and lastly because I get to fix a really annoying typo...

[Link: littlegreenfootballs.com...]

BATTLE
STATIONS,
R

You’re disgusted with the GOP for giving us such a “crappy” candidate?

You think that your little political issues are more important than winning this war?

So you’re going to send the GOP a “message” by not voting in this election?

Your null vote is a vote for Obama and the DNC.

The same Obama that said this...

"I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning; and as president, I will end it.

"Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems.

"I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Review is not used to justify unnecessary defense spending.

"Third, I will set a goal for a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal."

[Link: www.ibdeditorials.com...]

Obama did not say “win” this war he clearly said “end it.”

In war the only opposite of the word “win” is “lose” because a draw is only a postponement.

An Obama who has said this repeatedly...

“Bringing Our Troops Home

Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.”

[Link: www.barackobama.com...]

As if a crushed and rapidly disolving al Qaeda in Iraq was Iraq’s only problem in the post Saddam world. What message does this send to those nations, (Turkey, Qatar, and Dijibouti), in that region that already have large US bases? What happens 15 months later to the last one or two US brigades in Iraq as the resurgent Iranian trained, supplied, and led Shia militias close down Iraq’s only ports of access to the sea? What happens to the US allied Iraqi military when they are cut off from their American sources of supply?

What message has Obama sent to the enemy by revealing his timetable like this? Not just to the enemy who now knows that if Obama is elected they only have to wait 16 months to retake all that they have lost over the last eight years. Not just to those nations in the region still sitting on the fence, what has Obama’s 16 months until enemy victory message sent to our tenuous allies in the region?

And you think you’re sending a message to the GOP by not pulling the right lever?

[Link: www.ford.utexas.edu...]

I can’t hear your message, it’s drowned out by other messages.

THAT’S
THE
WAY,
R
