I just posted this on the previous thread since I didn't think Charles would be putting up an overnight thread so soon, but I think it's far more apporpriate to post here:

I was distracted by Santiago's pole-dancing 'goddess of the Subway', Monserrat Morilles.

Believe it or not, I was able to get my gringo hands on something like that on the subway (tres rojo diamantes) when I was in Chile a few years ago......

Knowledge is power.

— Francis Bacon

I wish knowledge were power. Unfortunately, a gun is more powerful than knowledge. A weapon in the service of ignorance is more powerful than knowledge. The world is now at a tipping point, and it could go either way. It depends on who owns the best weapons, the knowledgeable or the ignorant.

Just to boast . .

I'm in my last year of school in Australia and I used this LGF post in an English assignment.
My teacher liked the post despite being a liberal who thinks that Americans are too "conservative" to vote for Hillary because she is a woman or vote for Obama because he is black.
Apart from his distorted political opinions, he is actually quite nice (he gave us chocolates on the last day of semester).

And Good Night all, it's too late here for this foolishness, for me anyway.

Is Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano the new Yogi Berra?

"I have one word for (Cubs GM) Jim Hendry," Carlos Zambrano said. "Good job."

alright.... my pet peeve.... I contend that knowledge, which can be attained by reading, or studying, or talking..... is nothing more than knowledge. It is what you do with knowledge that (to me) truly defines power. So, I would say that "learning" (which emanates from within) leads to power. Learning, about (among other things) what to do with knowledge... leads to an understanding of power. Once one understands power, he/she can wield it as needed.

Knowledge is, by definition, external.

Learning is completely internal.

Power, is the internal wielding the external to advantage.

There’s brisker pipes than poetry.
Say, for what were hop-yards meant,
Or why was Burton built on Trent?
Oh many a peer of England brews
Livelier liquor than the Muse, 20
And malt does more than Milton can
To justify God’s ways to man.
Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink
For fellows whom it hurts to think:
Look into the pewter pot 25
To see the world as the world’s not.
And faith, ’tis pleasant till ’tis past:
The mischief is that ’twill not last.
Oh I have been to Ludlow fair
And left my necktie God knows where, 30
And carried half way home, or near,
Pints and quarts of Ludlow beer:
Then the world seemed none so bad,
And I myself a sterling lad;
And down in lovely muck I’ve lain, 35
Happy till I woke again.
Then I saw the morning sky:
Heigho, the tale was all a lie;
The world, it was the old world yet,
I was I, my things were wet, 40
And nothing now remained to do
But begin the game anew. ...

re: #63 Karagush

I have drawn this conclusion from observation of people. In my mind, it ain't at all about me (per se).... it is just how things are... how people are..... how life is.

I have watched stupid people trying to be powerful because they think they "know" more than someone else. And, I think (without fail) those people who attempt to show power invariably fall short....

whether they achieve power or not.... depending on circumstance... in the purest sense, they fall short....

I got a moonbat good today on my blog. He was saying that the bible see's bi-racial marriage as a sin and that since the bible is wrong on that then gay marriage is normal and that the gay rights movement is the same as the civil rights movement. I wrote back that there is nowhere in the bible that said people of different races can't mix and I know that from a personal experience because my grandparents were a bi-racial couple. I then told him that there is evidence to is claim but their is to mine since the bible speaks against homosexuality as a wrong behavior and that hundreds of years of suffering over ones skin color is not in the same league as someones lifestyle choice. I told him that he is a uneducated moron. It felt good to back hand a moonbat.

But from my own experience, I know that it's a deep hurt to have someone break up with you and nothing I can say will help.

But that won't stop me from trying:

You should have been -and I believe would have been- the person to help her through whatever. If she didn't see that... she wasn't looking very hard. Find someone that deserves you.

I was just thinking about Kragar's post on Ahmadinejad’s jet airplane.

From I can see it’s a large Airbus A340-200 [1] given to him by his friend Hugo Chaves [2] that can carry 41,000 gallons of jet fuel [3].

What if Crazy Boy Ahmadinejad decides he doesn’t like the idea of not being able to wipe Israel off of the map and orders his pilot to crash his jet fuel filled airplane into the nearest tall building after take-off (he finally snapped and he saw the 12th Imam).

Do we really want that type of Loose Nut and his Fuel Filled Jet in our populated cities?

I don’t think so.

Worse, what if he somehow concealed a gun style nuke in his large aircraft and an announced that if he did not get to push Israel in the sea he would just detonate the nuke at the airport?

That's not so good.

I can hear crazed dinnerjacket laughing, “You stupid infidels thought I needed a missile to deliver a nuke to your capitalistic New York City.”

I know it will probably not happen but I hope there are some contingency plans if Crazy Boy Dinnerjacket goes bonkers when he doesn’t get his way

1. During his July 2007 visit to Tehran, Chavez presented Ahmadinejad with an Airbus A340-200 as a sign of friendship [14] at a time when many Western countries looked askance at exporting modern aircraft to the Islamic Republic for fear that a plane might be cannibalized for spare parts in support of Iran's aging military fleet. See, AEI Iran’s Global Ambitions, 10% down page

2 the purchase of the "Aircraft of Allah" Airbus jet by the Islamic Republic for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei from the Sultan of Brunei and conversion of an Islamic ruler's aircraft to an even more Islamic configuration, required for Iranian use, was certainly motivated less by the pomp and prestige factor than by the fear of flying in the decrepit aircraft owned by Iran

3 One version of this type was ordered by the Sultan of Brunei requesting for a non-stop range of 8,000 nautical miles (14820 km). This A340-8000 had an increased fuel capacity, a MTOW of 275 tonnes similar to the A340-300, Max. fuel capacity 155,040 L 40,957 gallons

I love that song...because it my feelings towards someone at one time.
{ { Blue } }! Love hurts.

re: #173 AmeriDan

I'm going through a lot of medical test right now- no results yet, waiting is a bitch- and I keep being called in for more. Todays featured organ was the liver.

So if you change that offer to your liver, we might could work something out.

Liver? I'm Russian, you might want to rethink that :P

*Good luck, btw.

re: #176 Suzette

Sorry to hear you are having problems. Hope your tests come out well. Waiting is a bitch.....thoughts race through the mind.

Thank you Suzette. I hope to know more Thursday, which is only an eternity away.

Love


Love means to learn to look at yourself
The way one looks at distant things
For you are only one thing among many.
And whoever sees that way heals his heart,
Without knowing it, from various ills
A bird and a tree say to him: Friend.
Then he wants to use himself and things
So that they stand in the glow of ripeness.
It doesnt matter whether he knows what he serves:
Who serves best doesnt always understand.

re: #181 AmeriDan

Waiting is awful, I don't even wanna go to the doctor because I am paranoid about everything.

re: #181 AmeriDan

Bad news come quick.....good news comes slow. Just remember that.

re: #183 trigger girlie

I understand that one. Was sick a month and a half ago, decided to get a annual check up(five years late). Ended up getting a stress test, and a visit to the dermatologist as well. :p

re: #183 trigger girlie

Waiting is awful, I don't even wanna go to the doctor because I am paranoid about everything.

Same here with me....but had to. So I could get better and that I have.

Knowledge is power, hide it well.

An open mind is like a fortress with it's gates unbarred and unguarded.

Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.

FOR THE EMPEROR.

Just a note to tell you that my mailbox is being flooded with mail concerning gas prices and illegal immigrants.
To boycott oil companies or not; to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants or not, etc.

Since I have become jaded to the various solutions proposed by the Republicans, Democrats, Sierra Club, ACLU, etc.,

I have elected to solve the problems as they affect me. My response solves both my gas and illegal immigrant problems....

I have hired illegal immigrants to push my car. They're plentiful and cheaper than buying gas.

Then I pay them in Pesos so they have to go home to spend it.

This is the funnist thing I've read in a while -- the entire city government of San Francisco has been permanently hacked by a city-employed computer nerd who refuses to give up the password and who now sits in jail because of it:

S.F. officials locked out of computer network

A disgruntled city computer engineer has virtually commandeered San Francisco's new multimillion-dollar computer network, altering it to deny access to top administrators even as he sits in jail on $5 million bail, authorities said Monday.

Terry Childs, a 43-year-old computer network administrator who lives in Pittsburg, has been charged with four counts of computer tampering and is scheduled to be arraigned today.

Prosecutors say Childs, who works in the Department of Technology at a base salary of just over $126,000, tampered with the city's new FiberWAN (Wide Area Network), where records such as officials' e-mails, city payroll files, confidential law enforcement documents and jail inmates' bookings are stored.

Childs created a password that granted him exclusive access to the system, authorities said. He initially gave pass codes to police, but they didn't work. When pressed, Childs refused to divulge the real code even when threatened with arrest, they said.

He was taken into custody Sunday. City officials said late Monday that they had made some headway into cracking his pass codes and regaining access to the system.

Childs has worked for the city for about five years. One official with knowledge of the case said he had been disciplined on the job in recent months for poor performance and that his supervisors had tried to fire him.

"They weren't able to do it - this was kind of his insurance policy," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the attempted firing was a personnel matter.

Authorities say Childs began tampering with the computer system June 20. The damage is still being assessed, but authorities say undoing his denial of access to other system administrators could cost millions of dollars.

Officials also said they feared that although Childs is in jail, he may have enabled a third party to access the system by telephone or other electronic device and order the destruction of hundreds of thousands of sensitive documents.

So many layers of possible emotional responses! My first reaction is, "Couldn't happen to a more deserving city," however.

bummer drag there Blue, but remember: if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

i'll go dig up something special to put in the fruitcup tonight. %-)

re: #189 AmeriDan

AmeriDan sometimes you just want to listen to a song that expresses how you feel at the time....then move up to more up beat songs like this one at least for women.... ;)

So true, I want to laugh, but there are people who are innocent in all this who will be hurt or at least seriously effected by his actions. I have to admit, also, that it's fascinating- it sounds like something out of a movie!

re: #199 BlueCanuck

Reputation ruined? You Blue. No way! Sometimes you need a
triple sometimes.

re: #197 AmeriDan

Yeah, I did. I do like country from time to time, but I am a rock and roll guy. Played this one once when I found out an ex-GF was cheating on me.

Well, I'm outta here, finally tired. Hope y'all have a great Tuesday. :)

re: #194 zombie

What surprises me is that the network was so controlled by just one person. Poor planning on their part. Still I wonder why they tried to fire him.

i think what you *really* need is some Tonio K:
(sorry, i couldn't find an audio %-)

H-A-T-R-E-D
(Tonio K.)

now i know it's not unusual
it's nothing so unique
there's probably hundreds of wonderful love affairs
that go bad in this town every week
but all of them others
them sad-hearted lovers
could cry in their beer, what the hey
it didn't concern me
was none of my business
i never had nothin' to say
but suddenly darlin'
the table has turned
you have left me for somebody new
and now it's hard to express
the resentment i feel
for the years that i've wasted on you

but let me put this another way · ok?

i'm full of h-a-t-r-e-d
i'm bitter and malign
you've got me
p-i-s-s-e-d off
i'm angry most of the time
why don't you
g-o t-o h-e-double"l"
you tramp
you philandering bitch
i'm going to
k-i-l-l one of us baby
give me time and i'll decide on which

and i know i'm acting immature
i'm acting like a child
i should display some self-control
instead of going wild like this
and i do wish i could accept all this
as simply "life" which includes pain
and act upon the actual fact
that nobody's to blame
yes i wish i was as mellow
as for instance jackson browne
but "fountain of sorrow" my ass
@#$%¢&-(*&)$# [if you want to know what this means, buy the cd]
i hope you wind up in the ground

i'm so full of h-a-t-r-e-d
i'm bitter and malign
you've got me
p-i-s-s-e-d off
i'm angry most of the time
why don't you
g-o t-o h-e-double"l"
you tramp
you philandering bitch
i'm going to
k-i-l-l one of us baby
when i'm sober i'll decide on which
(but then again, maybe with the proper counseling, we can work this out)

Too angry for me right now. I may get a little bitter, but not angry. Just wasn't that way at all. I think life just beat us both up at the moment. The worst part was our schedules. Her days off were the start of my week, and my days off were the end of hers.

Hmm, what do we give the man that keeps on giving? Extra fruitcup?

/non spiked of course.

re: #222 BlueCanuck

I meant Suzette. Red can get his own darn fruitcup. Bless his Lizard heart.

How about this one {Blue}...(something I wrote a long time ago hopefully it isn't bad writing. )

I heard a dog speak your name tonight,
as he lay baying at the moon.
I heard a whipporwill coo for your voice,
as she glided across the frozen lake
among the trees in the forest of my soul.
I sit in the cold of the evening staring at the
harshness of the moonlight.
Watching it sparkle along the ripples of water.
Like diamonds thrown across a mirror.
Silently hoping you still think of me.
I who have flocked hundreds to thousands of sheep,
never missing one, across the hills in the valley of my soul
I feel the void of emptiness.
All your promises have long since run dry.
The ones you had spoken with your beautiful mouth,
still echo with clarity in my heart.
You have taken away my East!
I see no more sunrises, they are gone for me.
You have taken away my West!
There will be no more sunsets to see.
The beauty of the sun no longer shines for me
but only in your face.
You have taken away the North and South from me!
All my direction is gone.
But most of all, of all that was taken----
You have taken away my heart from me.
For within you it resides.

re: #223 AmeriDan

Oh. OOOOH! Well that's a different story then. Have to think of something real special then.

/time to put on the old thinking cap.

re: #221 AmeriDan

Yeah and I think I just got it! :)

Zombie, there were REASONS for a priesthood, when no one else could read!

There is reason and good in a computer priesthood, when few know the CPU.
(read "Down With the Computer Priesthood" by T. Nelson)

And there is a REASON not to let computer nerds like HIM have unfettered access to the system during installation... there is a good reason that San Fran knuckle-head admins SHOULD HAVE hired a good computer security firm to blind-oversee this $5,000,000 Disgruntled Employee of the Year!

re: #235 Suzette

Quite a few of us understand, Suzette, but let me share a small story...

I draw.
Professionally, for tissue/dissection studies, for portraiture, for caricature...

And I had a drawing that no one saw, for 11 years... done totally from imagination, I thought his face bloated, distorted, misshapen, malformed, UGLY...

Then one day a friend chanced to see it before I could hide it again, and she exclaimed: "Oh! What compassionate eyes!"

/I was moved to tears, suddenly, inexplicably...
and yet I say, 'We understand much in your writing, Suzette...'

Hither came Blue, the Canuck, red-haired, sullen-eyed, rifle in hand, a warrior, a lover, a crusader, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Moonbats under his snowshoed feet.

Here's for you, Suzette. Dean Barrett, author of the book, Murder at the Horny Toad

Karridine,

Hello

Canuck,

So that makes me the older Lizard brother. Now I can dispense my infinite wisdom to you... Uh, I got nothing... check with me later.

Suzette,

Dead Theaders Rule!

I even have a certain craving for fruit. Can somebody help a fellow Dt'er out?

SUZETTE! :-)

There he strode, Canuck of Blue
the waisted sash, the wasted eyes,
strong of breath and short it, too
"Wantest thou with that, some fries?"

The beard, the voice, the shotgun there
his booted feet did carry
Promising fierce unknown adventure
if only you would tarry...

But Moonbats in numbers vast
did bash and squeal in blinding fear
"Don't worry," said the Blue Canuck
"...for I shall save you, Dear!"

Squamous Dingo, circa 1936

DAN! :-)
