ABC's Gibson grilled Palin hard, but it may backfire
Charles Gibson of ABC News was out for blood and inherently applied a double-standard compared with the kid gloves George Stephanopoulos used on Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois on Sunday night.

Love this paragraph from that article:

For a “change” candidate, Obama appears to be a man locked in time, unable to move past criticism, unable to move from the grip of the Democratic left, unable to adapt to the changed reality that the campaign is not the referendum on the war in Iraq or on the administration of George W. Bush that he’d envisioned.

not sure what happened: i saw the trucks and went outside to chat, and they assured me the power was going to stay on.

a little later, i was answering an email when the screen went black, along with everything else. it seems someone made a change in the lines but didn't note it on the charts.

power came back, but the PC wouldn't generate a pic. you could hear it boot, but no vid. draged out a relic and got on line. found a recyucler in deepest south OC that had a similar board to mine, so i drove down there on a fryday afternoon, when i was supposed to be studying.

got home, but coudn't get that board to even spin, so this AM we went and got a new PC. didn't have time to do anything but start it up before class, hence my Vista mini-rant above.

went to my old HS after school, but there was nothing worth the visit, so we had an earlyt dinner and came home to watch USC dismantle OSU.

a little TV, a few beers and now to bed, so i can do more school tomorrow.

She used to teach at Union, but went out on her own. She teaches in her home, and she is one of the most excellent teachers I have ever encountered. She is good. She can gauge a person's language ability, and then see what it will take to get that person to P.6 proficiency. If she can do it, she'll tell you. If she knows she cannot, she'll tell you that too.

She's expensive - I paid 600 baht per hour with two other friends, but all three of us passed and with flying colors. Studied 3 hours per day, three days per week. And did homework. Golly, did I do homework!

Best teacher I've ever seen, in the US or in Thailand.

I did but I couldn't sleep. My mom took The Kid to Wal*Mart today, and I took a nap. He spent part of his allowance in the game room then--despite her telling him not to leave it--he took off for the electronics' department. When she got checked out, he was not to be found, and at that minute the store's PA system went dead. Instead of using her head and remembering what I've said about his going to that department after I let him play in the game room, she freaked out. So, people had to be dispatched to all areas of the store to find him. Oooooooooh. She was pissed beyond belief. When he got home he whined that she said she wasn't gonna' take him with her ever again. Servss him right.

Yet another NYT hit-piece on Gov. Palin.

In all fairness, these are questions that should be asked of any candidate. But was I asleep when they were asking the same hard-hitting questions of our lord and savior Obama? If they were asked, did I sleep through what I'm sure were Obama's direct and comprehesive answers to those questions?

Or were they never asked at all.

"Ms. Palin runs an administration that puts a premium on loyalty and secrecy. The governor and her top officials sometimes use personal e-mail accounts for state business; dozens of e-mail messages obtained by The New York Times show that her staff members studied whether that could allow them to circumvent subpoenas seeking public records."

“Their secrecy is off the charts,” Mr. Steiner said.

We still tease her about it. But my sister still shakes her head and says, "I will never forget that day".

Heh, the importance of making sure your offspring know their proper names. My parents back in the day used to call my youngest brother Bruce Rascal. He always has been an impish fellow. Well one day we were in a mall and he was about three and got seperated from the family group. My parents discovered this and were searching frantically. Well over the mall PA system comes the announcement, "Would the parents of Bruce Rascal please come to the security desk." Well my parents had a little difficulty with the security guards after showing I.D., and trying to explain to them that no his last name wasn't rascal. But it was obvious that he recognized them with happy glee. Afterwards they made sure he knew his proper last name.

That is true. I don't go out much once winter sets in - not really anywhere to walk around here, at least not without driving to get there first. And we were lucky and got ours on an Amazon pre-order for $89.

I do not know what the girls paid for the Wii (it was a gift to old granny) but I am quite sure that if they could have bought it cheaper elsewhere, they would have done so. They are MY children after all and every one of them can squeeze a nickel till it bleeds. I know for a fact that I paid $89 for WiiFit - a price that nobody anywhere has even met, to say nothing of beaten. And by the time I add the cost of a half-tank of gas to drive anywhere (not to mention the time, road food, and having to wait until I can make time to go on an all-day jaunt), an extra buck or two is often worth it to me.

I thought to register the Wii when I got it - and give them my real email. So, the day they announced WiiFit everyone on the list got a special offer email. We sometimes get pretty snowed in during the winter and I thought it would be a smart way for the kiddo to get PE in besides DDR, so I had it ordered in under 15 minutes. One of the best things I've spent money on in some while - even old Granny has fun doing the Hula. Makes for quite a party conversation piece too.

Mostly. My SIL's dad stood in line overnight to get him one for Christmas. BJ's - something like Sam's Club - usually has a couple in stock and I've seen them most trips I make to WalMart. I did hear that Nintendo was upping production. WiiFit is really hard to come by though. It sold out on Amazon as a pre-order and I've never seen it there since except through 3rd party sellers.

13) Staring at a Screen Darkly

The advent of the Internet recombines the abolition of space-time barriers to communication with the constant and instant availability of (potentially) practically all textual knowledge, as computer aided design and computer assisted manufacture threaten to leave the proletariat with little beyond bourgeois leisure and a subsistence stipend. The underclass will be known not as the unwashed, but as the unwired. With every computer terminal a samizdat, governments (and religions) will progressively lose their ability to tell the big lies and make them stick (see Zapatista). Guerilla semioticians will increasingly 'poach' the icons and symbols of governmental, religious and corporate institutions and imbue them with different and frequently subversive meanings (The Practice of Everyday Life, Michel de Certeau, 1984). Authority will issue not from age, race, gender or status, but from the internal consistency, logical cogency, linguistic clarity and external coherence of one's positions. Spoken and written language forms will continue vanishing as quickly as endangered species, as informational selection takes its Darwinian toll. The hegemony of employment over location will melt away as more and more jobs can be performed from anywhere with power and a telephone line. Global democracy will supersede multiple national sovereignties as humanity's attachments to borders and boundaries will shrink along with their relevance to the lives of an increasingly individually sovereign citizenry (as Francis Fukuyama foresaw in The End Of History, 1992). The policy debates now occurring within electronic 'town meetings' will be settled by cyber-votes. The Human Genome Project will allow human beings to genetically know themselves (Socrates and Hippocrates would be pleased) and to re-engineer their codes to remove textual errors (inherited defects). If they like the result, genocopies (clones) will be possible, and there is already talk of exploiting the shared binary codes of computer language and the double helix to create DNA computers. The meme will then have traveled full circle, finding its way back to the gene. In the coming millennium, homo sapiens will be both weavers of and woven by, for better or for worse, the informational warp and communicational weft of a co-evolutionary New Web Order.

There is a bar that sits on top of the TV that senses the motion. Most of the games that I've played with it you move the controller up and down or back and forth, maybe tip it this way or that.

A local teenager told CBS2-TV that he had exchanged a brief text message with the engineer shortly before the crash. The station reported that the teen, Nick Williams, was among a group of kids who befriended the engineer and asked him questions about his work.
Tyrrell said before the report aired that she would find it "unbelievable" that an engineer would be text messaging while operating a train. Using a cell phone on duty is against Metrolink rules, former conductor Garcia said.

There are a few buttons - the main one, which is large and requires a thumb only. The next most commonly used is a button on the back that is pulled like a trigger. The rest are fairly small and not used very often - mostly for things like exiting a game back to the main Wii menu. You might have to assist with that.

I have a good friend who is a liberal (little l, not big l), not a leftist, but can at times have a visceral hatred for Republicans. I asked her once, as she has several degrees in English, why it is that writers write such obscure crap. Her answer made more sense than most I've seen: They're just writing to impress each other. No one else cares, and no one else even pretends it's understandable.
