Charles, I have a question: why is it that when I put my Ibook to sleep at night (with LGF still open on my menu bar), when I bring LGF back up in the morning, the individual ICONs are gone, and there are only little green footballs? I'm still shown as logged in, so I don't know why the individual icons have disappeared.

Well, after I got 5 votes on mine, they killed my post because it "bypassed the filters", so I had to repost it too small to read and you have to click on it to see it full size. One time I got banned for 3 days for accusing the moderators of having a Mall Cop mentality.

Hurrah for the domination of smart markets over sweatshops, which may be the only option for anything other than abject poverty for those people.

re: #21 Sharmuta

Yup...Neofascists, Obamabots, and Islamonuts. And we're caught in the middle.

The only thing we can do right now is do whatever we can to help McCain-Palin win.

Well back to work tomorrow after the two days of Rosh Hashana to reflect on the important things in life--family, health, and friends. I work as a financial advisor and the past few weeks have been really rough-reminds me of the time period after 9-11. No one had a clue then either if we were going to live or die. We had the shoe bomber, the mysterious plane crash above Brooklyn ( a shoe bomb IMHO) anthrax and a total market meltdown. Here we are today. Life goes on, people fight the good fight. I prayed hard for McCain and Palin, which isn't a particularly Jewish thing to do, as well as praying for a dear friend with three beautiful kids who just had a brain tumor successfully removed . We are up against a monster who controls the media and things look pretty bleak. Don't give up! If we lose this round, there will be more.

from the now legendary "404 SOI Extract" as promulgated by RTO Trainer
A little shorthand of potential help to us in communicating intent:

Smoke and Pyro

White Smoke---Covering/Screening only
Yellow Smoke---Designated target (Fire at will)
Purple Smoke---All after is sarcastic
Green Smoke---Kook Identifed
White Star Cluster---All Clear
Yellow Star Cluster---Cease-fire
Red Star Cluster---Danger

Some Examples:

Red says something smart and instead of "ducking," pops white smoke and disengages.

Anyone needing assistance might designate a post (or a thread in the subject line) with yellow smoke.

Prior to typing a sarcastic remark, "pop purple smoke." When removing tounge from cheek, send up a White Star Cluster.

Green star clusters would probaly be most effective for the person on SGT Casey's duty roster with an addition to a subject line.

Yellow star clusters used to designate a friendly under fire or to initiate compromise under a misunderstanding.

Red star custer, any kind of warning.

I'm active in the Civil Air Patrol, and there are rare times when a lost plane is never found or is found years later. There was one incident about ten years or so ago (before my time in CAP, so I may be off on timing) in the eastern US where nothing was ever found during an intensive search, and then about two years ago, a hunter walked into a forest clearing and there were the remains of that plane... When the crash site is in the mountains or large forests and there are no eyewitnesses, it can really be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

About these polls- I don't believe them. Zogby has 0bama up by 2 nationally, so I have to think the other polls are padding the number of democrats to republicans. I also wonder if any PUMAs getting polled are lying.

If they are padding these polls, it is to demoralize our side. We must use these numbers to double our efforts instead. Hopefully, that's what we'll do and these numbers will have the effect of lulling the dems into a comfort zone where they won't work as hard as we will.

Apropos to this election:

"By the Babe Unborn" by G.K. Chesterton

If trees were tall and grasses short,
As in some crazy tale,
If here and there a sea were blue
Beyond the breaking pale,

If a fixed fire hung in the air
To warm me one day through,
If deep green hair grew on great hills,
I know what I should do.

In dark I lie; dreaming that there
Are great eyes cold or kind,
And twisted streets and silent doors,
And living men behind.

Let storm clouds come: better an hour,
And leave to weep and fight,
Than all the ages I have ruled
The empires of the night.

I think that if they gave me leave
Within the world to stand,
I would be good through all the day
I spent in fairyland.

They should not hear a word from me
Of selfishness or scorn,
If only I could find the door,
If only I were born.

Well- in America we don't make people vote. So a registered voter is not the same as a likely voter since being registered to vote doesn't mean you actually will vote. But a likely voter is obviously someone who is likely to vote and a better indicator in terms of polling.

We're in alabama now, moved here from Las vegas though

What do you hunt?

My son passed his hunters safety course and he was so proud of hmself. I took him out to the range a few times and he seems to like shooting shotguns at claybirds more than a rifle at targets,so I'm going to try and get him out for Pheasant and Turkey.
I don't really mid that because I'm not really wild about sitting in the woods in winter waiting on a deer to walk by.
BTW I'm from Pa.

I got polled yesterday by Obama's campaign. Short and sweet, they asked how likely I was to vote, who I would vote for, and how strongly I felt for that candidate. No BS, it must have been an internal poll. Those I would love to see.

re: #124 Rancher

you must be someplace they're worried about.... i live in the belly of the beast (SoCal) and the local vote is a foregone conclusion.

re: #123 x-wing

I'm not a hunter myself, we spend a lot of family time at the range and have a seven acre lot to play on. My dad (who lives right down the road) mostly goes after deer (they tend to be smallish here) and feral pig. our local national forest opened a no limit season on feral pigs as they were getting to pesky. basically, 4 weeks of shoot all you can find

re: #114 redc1c4

well, lets just say that if you're at a range that will let you fire, the wonder 9's all stop after you touch off the first round, and 44 anything is cheap practice ammo. %-)

yes.... mine is a very nice gun too. better than my Python, which is not junk.

HRH has grown fond of her (formerly mine) High Power.....

it's a small price to pay. (domestic tranquility. %-)

I understand, If it let's you keep doing what you like it's worth it.

I got lucky, my ex only cost me a nice fishing rod. Well not only, but ..

I suppose that people should just shut up and not complain about anything if they don't vote. They have a right to if they do.

re: #123 x-wing

When we had the ranch we would get up around five, go to where the deer we watched all year were, get out of the truck, shoot one, dress it and be back home by nine. Now you have to win the lottery just to get to hunt and the public areas are crawling with hunters. Assholes that bought our ranch reneged on letting us hunt on the private land.

If Obama gets elected, we're all gonna get POLED, if you know what I mean.

I may not vote this time. The republicans picked a lousy candidate who openly admits to not understanding anything about economics during an economic crisis.

The election is theirs to lose and if they do lose they have nobody to blame but themsleves.

re: #137 x-wing

Feral pigs are pigs who started out domestic, but have been living wild and mixing with wild pigs for a generation or 3. Not exactly the same, but they can still get pretty nasty.

And yeah, the reason they started letting people hunt them is because they were destructive to the point of being pests.

re: #150 gop_patriot

McCain said during the debates that he doesn't understand economics and I believe him. I think it was a serious mistake to nominate a candidate right now that admits he doesn't understand economics. I think it really hurt him. I think Obama has a faulty understanding of economics but he has never said he's completely ignorant on the topic. I think McCain would have done better to pick somebody like Bloomberg as VP. He has executive experience and is a rockstar econimist. I don't think Palin helps with independants and swing voters. Just my 2 cents. We'll know for sure in November, I'd love to be proven wrong.

re: #158 x-wing

Not really forcing, there's permits and emission limits and all that, but the company is pretty out front on the environmental thing on their own. Being a steel mill, electricity is a big hitter on the bottom line, so energy conservation means more money to be made. Most of the other efforts fall into the same line of thinking too.

you realize that *not* voting for McCain is the same as voting for Obama, even here in CA, since they all important "national total" will be trotted out if the anointed one doesn't win in the Electoral College, but gets more votes. overall.

McCain is the one to appeal to independents and moderates. He needed to shore up the base, and that's what Sarah did.

re: #159 Killgore Trout

Bloomberg would have tanked with the conservative wing - Palin energized them.

Let's see how it all plays out. Obama doesn't know shit about the economy either, and neither does Joe Biden.

Sarah is on stage in about 18 hours. Her moment is coming.

It's up to her - as long as the McCain camp sets her free, she'll do ok.

Do you generate your own electric or buy? We are self sufficient on that,we even sell some back to the grid. And you don't have to tell me about permits and regs.

re: #180 zombie

Could be. We'll know for sure in November but I remember the koskidz refused to believe the polls last election and they were completely surpised and befuddled that they lost.

I just browsed through Michelle Malkin's site and in the comments there are a lot of defeatist attitudes visible. The ones that have that seem to have problem with McCain not fighting tooth and nail against Ifill being moderator in VP-debate. That angers me for a few reasons. First, doing that would paint McCain campaign as whiners. Complaints tend to do that regardless of how valid said complaints are. Second, there is no room for you guys to have defeatist attitude. Not in these elections.

Over the years I have seen time and time again elections that were not free, and two things have stuck to my mind about them. One, there were tampering on voters and/or ballots one way or another. Two, media access was not equal and fair. And I say that both of those are visible already in these elections. You (I am Finn, so those are not my elections) can't give in and fall into despair. You can't allow that sort of tactics to work. You have to fight against it throughout as individual citizens (and state has to do that too), and at the voting booth you must show that those tactics are not the way to victory. To me it seems painfully clear that large number of Democrats have discarded the notion of free elections. Media certainly has. They need to learn a lesson that you guys won't allow it.

Ok. This is my opinion on the matter. Play straight, play hard and keep your spirits high.

P.S. To make clear why I care: 1) I Think McCain would be best choice for USA's sake, for my sake (yeah, my ass means a lot to me) and my US and Israeli friends' sake. 2) You guys deserve better than have your country fall to same category as Russia in regards to the elections.

I live in the most left-wing area imaginable. Wherever you are, it's worse where I am. I have never ever, not even once, seen a McCain sign. I'm surrounded by Obama Blue off to the horizon. And I'm in a state where Obama is supposedly up by double digits.

And you know what? I'm going to go into that voting booth and vote for McCain like my life depended on it. For all I know, the polls are all propaganda, and there are ten million secret McCain voters like me secretly casting our ballots. Anything is possible.

Hopefully, not too many of them will be like you and not vote because you believed the MSM propaganda and assumed ahead of time your vote will not count.

No, you got that completely reversed. They absolutely thought the polls were true. Remember that all the pollsters (except Zogby) had Kerry ahead on the final day. THAT's why the Kossacks were shocked. Not because they "refused" to believe in the polls, but because they accepted them unquestioningly.

I'm off to bed. I'm sick and damned tired of all the nay-sayers and doom and gloom bringers. We're still 33 days out from the election, and some folks here have just given up. Or have allowed their distaste for the economic bill to sour their mood.

Well, if we get Obama, you have only yourself to blame.

The election is not about getting your dream date. The election is about staving off disaster. By not voting for McCain, you are actively stating that you prefer Obama to win. Which is your prerogative, of course, but it's odd that you're an Obama supporter and don't seem to be aware of it.

The competition is not between some fantasy candidate you wish had been nominated vs. McCain. There is this thing called reality and in reality you have two imperfect choices; McCain and Obama. If you seriously, honestly think that Obama is better, or if they are absolutely identical, then by all means refrain from voting McCain. But if you think McCain is even 1% better than Obama, and yet you still refuse to vote for him because you're pouting, then I have nothing further to say to you.

I don't mean to be harsh, but I don't have time for pouters.

re: #28 suboptimal

I can't wait for the next hit, "0bama Uber Alles".

I'm wishing we could upding a post more than once, because seriously...that says it all. And I'm starting to get kind of worried about it. Obama elected into the White House with what he thinks is a mandate from the American people to enact his "change" is rapidly becoming scary as hell.

Please God let Palin kick ass Thursday night. Also, the next five weeks cannot pass quickly enough for me, because at least then I'll know how bad (amnesty for illegals) or worse (socialism) it's going to be.

re: #230 x-wing

Yeah, you have that right because better men than you risked their lives for this country, but your not willing to pull a lever that may save what they fought for .

It must be nice to live in a deep blue state. It absolves you from all electoral responsibilities, apparently.

Need a double shot the way it's going tonight.

re: #233 Mel Lono

Do you really believe that 10 million conservatives are going to suddenly appear in CA and turn the state Red?

Not if they all act like you.

Oh my gosh, that's just... just... WOW.

It also reminds me of something else.

point of order: Mel is, AFAIK, a Coastie in good standing, and therefore put his on the block with the rest of us. i will strenuously disagree with his philosophy, but i will damn sure defend his right to be wrong.

re: #225 Purre

That's a hilarious picture!

I found some really cute avatars that people had made over at LiveJournal, but I don't know if they would allow them to be used in other places. I really need to make some more of my own. :)

re: #233 Mel Lono

If Californian conservatives do not start voting now, they will never get that gap closed. Each time the numbers get close to even, more conservatives get activated and gap closure comes more and more possible. So not voting means things will be as tough if not worse in next elections. Every vote matters.

This debate has gone on since it first looked like we would be stuck with McCain. Maybe four years of Obama would be worth sixteen years of Palin/Bush (Jeb) and a conservative congress. Without Jimmah I doubt we would have had twelve years of Reagan/Bush.

EXACTLY. Can you imagine what the MSM and Dems would be screaming if there were groups of young people acting like that over McCain or ANY conservative? This is getting really scary...

re: #241 DesertSage

Yes. Scary as hell. The soldier-for-obama aspect is intentionally meant to intimidate.

The only problem with that is the damage that The One can do in just four years...

Apologies due, Sorry.

I just have a problem with a conservative willing to give this election to Obama.

re: #236 Rose Parade

Expect amnesty regardless.

re: #246 Purre

We did and we do. Tom McClintock got elected to the House, even after his loss to Arnold. He fights the good fight against the odds too in DC. I say again,... Sen. McCain has not and does not support the conservative agenda.

With Pelosi and Reid running the congress and Obama in the white house...we may not last the next four years!

Egads, I'm so sick of the doom and gloom attitude here! You want Obama to be president? Go ahead and not vote. That's your prerogative.

But for God's sake, don't come on here and spread your crap to the rest of us who still give a shit for this country and our freedoms!

Some of us still believe we can pull this thing out and win in November! After all, we've got more than 30 days to do so.

re: #247 Rancher

No,no,no, no more Bushs' please.
