Obama's half hour ad air date 10-29-2008

Number of days that date is before the election: 6

Vote wisely.

Hey, Charles, what day was the first blog appeared for LGF? How about a trip back to the time when LGF blog was really looked like as you started out? Kinda like what Google did with its 2001 search index? Some of us are nostalgic for the good old days.

so you have eaten hamster newton?
would that be hamster on a stick?

Hmmm " make comments pages significantly smaller and less complex,..." I dunno Charles, I refreshed (same as reload, no?) and the comments page still looks the same to me!
And of course I'm renowkned all over LGF for my techical genius so if I don't get it I doubt that most of the plebians others here will either!

So, realwest - how are you?

Lou Dobbs is conducting a poll right now :
Are you concerned that radical left-wing activist groups are trying to manipulate the outcome of this presidential election?
Yes 77% 2146
No 23% 645
Total Votes: 2791
This is not a scientific pollScroll to bottom of page

If you want the down and dirty details, I've revised the top line of each comment (that contains the username, icon, the ratings buttons, etc.) to get rid of more than half the HTML code that creates that section. You won't see anything different, but it means fewer bytes need to be transferred over the Internet to display the comments, which is always good.

Now if I could only find a way to get rid of the table in that top line and replace it with floated DIVs, in a way that duplicates the vertically centered look. It's surprisingly difficult to achieve that without a table.

It is Yom Kippur -- the Day of Judgement or Day of Atonement.

10 days after Rosh Hashanah (the new years), Jews will fast and spend the day in prayer, repenting for all the sins of the previous year. One is supposed to ask forgiveness for all the wrongs they may have done, knowingly or otherwise.

It is also on this day that G-d decides whether to seal your name in the "Good" book or "Bad" book.

You'll have to ask Yochanan (or other lizards) for more details on the two books.

Yom Kippur is the most sacred day of the entire Jewish calendar.

You are in Southern California? Grab a bunch of them liberals. Hang a bag of Obama in front of them and let them power you up via a treadmill.

And they probably won't drop a bunch of little pellets. And you can probably feed them the same granola type food.

I have noticed with Firefox 2.0 and Win98 that the more comments added the longer the page takes to load (1,000+ can take about 3 minutes at times) and I get a script time-out notification starting about 400 or so comments. Will this new coding decrease any of these happenings?

Win98 is pretty darned out of date -- that's why you're getting those timeout errors. It just chokes on the larger pages. If you really don't want to (or can't) upgrade your OS, it might help to add more RAM.

A Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous year to all the posters here.

Speaking of kosher, if you have seen the Obama ads, I am wondering when Obama will be running ads in Florida markets with significant Jewish population that notes that not only does he " support" the State of Israel but is circumcised too?

The man needs to claim anything he can to get votes after all. Middle class tax breaks in a screwed up economy? To quote Nelson from "The Simpsons" - " HA-HA".

You will be working on a community farm by this time next year.

Don't send me to the Arugula Collective!

Bill O'Reilly doesn't want to talk about Ayers, Wright or any other Obama negative issues - he only wants to talk about his interview with The One. He wants to be the center of attention and if people bring up Obama's shady past, that takes the focus of attention of of HIMSELF.

It's a wonder that both Bill and Barack even fit into that interview space, what with their combined egos being the size of Alaska.

re: #127 FloridaAnole

Kinda makes you wonder what he (O'Reilly) had to agree to in order to get the Obama interview. On the surface, burying a story like that doesn't sound like O'Reilly.

Arrr, gave up on O'Reilly years ago. With an O in his name I am suspicious of his motivation and grasp of reality....

Bill O went on to the subject of Acorn, he says no story their either. Now he has Stanley Kurtz on, who is trying to eductate Bill O. Doesn't seem to help, Bill O is trying to minumize every one of Kurtz's points.

find a different shul, never get that kind of stuff at my wife's shul, they do talk about israel but i am cool with that.

Bill O'Reilly and the rest of the MSM are in Obama's camp. It is called "job security." They see the writing on the wall. When Obama gets in, the fairness doctrine gets passed, and it is buy buy to anyone who does not support the marxist/socialist agenda. They are all sucking up now.

I have no respect for O'Rielly any longer. He is only concerned about getting the interviews with Obama. What he does not understand is that if Obama gets in his mouth will be duck tape.

And reading me some Ayers:

And so the fundamental message of the teacher for ethical action is this: You must change the world. Teaching is the extraordinary work of ordinary people, worthy of our attention, our support, our dedication.

We've all entertained rumors that Rush and Hannity and Bill O may lurk on LGF's, and maybe post here, under an alias, like many of us do (not me).

As I sit here and listen to Bill O. I just discovered something. Bill O DOES PSOT ON LGF's, he's Cognito!

I'm still watching O'Reilly. It's a love/hate thing.

O'Rielly just sad boy as he was saying goodbye to Lamont on his show. How long do you think before he gets slammed for that ........ love it .........how you like it now Bill?

Bill O'Reilly stuck his toe in the water of controversy when he went after Bwarney Frank ( good job there ) and then got scared when he did not get the thunderous applause he expected. Now he has retreated because the democrats might just control Washington after the election, and who will then go on his program? Playing it safe through November. For the folks, of course.

Wow, Charles! I get new comments no in like NO time.

Awesome, and thanks for your hard work!

Off-topic, but I very much feel like shouting this from the mountaintops (even I brought this up more than once before) now that someone finally dislodged the rock that the excerable William Ayers was hiding under and is now finally seeing the light of day.

The man who laments that he didn't do enough bombing in a New York Times article dated September 11th, 2001 took it upon himself to raise Chesa Boudin when the law caught up with his parents (Weather Underground fugitives) for their role in a 1981 Nyack, N.Y. armoured truck robbery that killed Officers Waverly Brown, Edward O'Grady and Brinks guard Peter Paige.

When the issue was revisited by the New York Times in 2002, did they write a sympathetic puff-piece regarding the difficulties Peter Paiges three children had growing up without a father? Or Ed O'Grady's three kids? Or how Waverly Brown's son, Greg, is now a Nyack policeman himself?

Hardly. Instead they wrote a piece fawning over the brave Chesa Boudin and the hardships he faced growing up away from his biological parents in Ayer's and Dohrn's Hyde Park townhome.

re: #174 JacksonTn

Cool. I've been getting my stuff from American Agriculture. They're just down the road from me.

O'Reilly is an economic dunce... he has no credibility on any financial matter.

He also has a huge blind spot when it comes to things like ACORN and Ayers. He seems to think the rhetoric that comes from those kind of far left groups is just hype -- they really don't mean it, they just say it to be provocative.

He did the same thing with La Raza. When Michelle Malkin told him about the Hispanic supremacy and out-right "hate whitey, hate blacks" racism they espouse, he shrugged and said "No big deal, its unimportant".

I've made $49 in the past year.

Not really: my contributions, my employer's contributions, and my profits have been wiped out to the point where my balance is $48.97 higher today than this time last year. Between all the taxes and unfunded mandates I pay close to 33% taxes, and now those sumbags have figured out a way to wipe out thousands of dollars of what wealth I did manage to accrue.

Thank you, Republicans who spent like drunken sailors and dems who gave home loans to any deadbeat with a pulse. I look forward to voting all of you deadbeats out of office in less than 4 weeks. And that psycho Pelosi wants to send out MORE checks!

If McCain manages to pull this off, he damn well better cut spending. Seriously.

The last time I watched the TV show he did this, and I though it made him look like a rabid dog. I found it a turn off, so I turned it off. Then I cut my cable.

For reference: O'Reilly: Dan Rather was 'Slimed'.

I listen to Mark Levin, Hugh Hewitt and James Lileks (who has a nifty podcast).
I catch Rush when I can. I don't mind the lack of humility. What is the quote "If I am not for me, who will be, but if I am only for me, who am I?"

ACORN registered 8500 dead voters and one live 7-year old in Connecticut.

Check out the two threads at HC Forum

These people need to be stopped (ACORN, but also the dead folks and the kid) or Obama will absolutely steal this election.

How many investigations are currently on-going? Is it up to 15 states now?

Sheesh.

re: #209 Luigi

LGF?

LGF has been mentioned on O'Reilly. Certainly. Think back to Rathergate.

OT
For those of you who don't get McCain's philosophy, here's the latest e-mail I got from his campaign:

During Tuesday's town hall debate in Nashville, I told a retired Navy chief in the audience that everything I ever learned about leadership I learned from a chief petty officer in the Navy. My career in the United States Navy has had a lasting impact on my life and the lessons I learned continue to guide me today.

The naval term "steady strain" has become a constant mantra throughout my life. It references the need to keep lines between ships steady to avoid a sudden jerk or movement that could easily snap the line. We're facing great challenges as a nation and we must keep a "steady strain," because it is not only essential at sea, but in life and in politics.

I strongly believe a "steady strain," made possible by the grassroots organization we've built across the country, is the path to our victory on November 4th.

To me, it makes more sense than veering off and hotly pursuing the latest "opportunity".
The latest tactics of going after Obama's associations, according to the above explanation, will continue and keep pressure on, but not hit a breaking (snapping) point.

Whoa.

Yaar, I would have her apply for the top public University in the state, but she will probably emerge as a liberal. I have never understood why nowadays it is required to have a degree to get even the lowest paying jobs. Tech school did the trick for me. I would recommend a network security program offering certification upon completion. Good luck!

The problem is when you make piles of money and get used to it, unless you are a truly courageous person and a man of firm conviction, you'll start acting not out of principle, but out of a desire to preserve the lifestyle and attention you're used to.

Like I said: So much for "We pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."

During the Revolutionary War I believe there was an American officer or politician who had two sons imprisoned in Britain's horrific P.O.W. "camp," a half sunken ship in a harbor. He was offered their release if he would leave the revolutionary cause. He refused.

We cannot depend on the conservative "elites" anymore. They have no courage and no principles. FUCK THEM ALL.

I've got two windoze machines here. One is running WinXP Pro, the other is running Win98se. I do most of my stuff on the XP machine, but still do some things on the 98se machine. Mostly, I play MP3s on it, so I can save resources on the WinXP machine (which is itself an underpowered machine with not enough RAM, and is running too many things as it is...)

Besides, the Win98se machine cost me a whole $1.00 at a church sale! :D :D :D :D

(I'd install Linux on the now Win98 machine, but every time I've installed any Linux distro on it, when I then went to boot into the finished install, it would hang during the Lilo or Grub stage. Drove me totally nuts...)

re: #74 Charles

Win98 is pretty darned out of date -- that's why you're getting those timeout errors. It just chokes on the larger pages. If you really don't want to (or can't) upgrade your OS, it might help to add more RAM.

I'm running Windoze XP and I get those script timeouts also on the big threads. A timeout for approx. each 500 comments. I use Netscape Navigator 9, which is much the same as FireFox. Both are Mozilla software. Of course Netscape is no longer supported but it still works for me.

re: #211 goddessoftheclassroom

I am in AA county. And you went to the school I was supposed to go too. That guy on the couch downstairs and his darn uniform derailed that - and then my precious little girl who is now leaving me further derailed it - but I caught up, just at A&M, not Sweetbriar or Stanford, such is life. It all worked out quite well.

re: #217 Intrepid

ACORN registered 8500 dead voters and one live 7-year old in Connecticut.

Check out the two threads at HC Forum

These people need to be stopped (ACORN, but also the dead folks and the kid) or Obama will absolutely steal this election.

How many investigations are currently on-going? Is it up to 15 states now?

Sheesh.

I found this one interesting- dovetails with what was discussed overnight last night:

re: #216 rawmuse

I listen to Mark Levin, Hugh Hewitt and James Lileks (who has a nifty podcast).
I catch Rush when I can. I don't mind the lack of humility. What is the quote "If I am not for me, who will be, but if I am only for me, who am I?"

James Lileks is a national treasure, and should have a museum dedicated to him where he can be kept in luxury. Have you been reading his latest "Safe in the Arms of the Mouse" bleats?

Hmm. From Drudge.

Developing?

It was covered a month ago. 0bambi told Maliki, "wait for the government you can trust", or something like that.

re: #235 ArmyWife

Oh, that's right--I'm so sorry for the memory slip. BTW, I graduated from Old Mill in Glen Burnie/Millersville.

re: #224 Dianna

In all honesty, it's not agreeing with Rush 75% of the time that's the problem. It's his voice. For whatever reason, it just grates on me.

Yeah, I know, that Geddy Lee guy's voice is pretty high pitched. I can't listen to too much Rush either for that reason.

I do like that "Take Off To The Great White North" thing though.

Makes me think of Bob and Doug, eh.

Oh c'mon, the guy slimes KOS. Slimes NBC & MSNBC and all their commentators. Helps send GE in the toilet. Makes Immelt into a piece of shit for all the world to see, and you think of the eyeballs he's sending KOS. Absurd!

O'Reilly just played the clip of the guy at McCain's rally today, and called him a Patriot.

re: #203 Sharmuta

I realize Rush isn't everyone's cup of tea, but he still has millions and millions of listeners, and I'm very thankful he mentions blogs on his show. It's good for blogs in general, and great for the blogs he mentions by name in particular, because the more people are aware we're here, the better, I think.

i really enjoy listening to rush's show. i love his sense of humor. i always learn something and he always makes me laugh. also he is very up beat. i always feel better after listening to his show. he reaches a huge audience and is a positive force for our side.

Friggin O'Rielly ...... he showed the piece where the guy in the audience says ...... you guys need to represent us ......... but he did not play the first part when the guy calls out the democrats socialist ......... what a friggin wimp .......kissing The One's ass .

re: #207 Palandine

Huh.

Just compared my 401k from end of third quarter 2007 to now (yes, I'm a masochist).

I've made $49 in the past year.

Not really: my contributions, my employer's contributions, and my profits have been wiped out to the point where my balance is $48.97 higher today than this time last year. Between all the taxes and unfunded mandates I pay close to 33% taxes, and now those sumbags have figured out a way to wipe out thousands of dollars of what wealth I did manage to accrue.

Thank you, Republicans who spent like drunken sailors and dems who gave home loans to any deadbeat with a pulse. I look forward to voting all of you deadbeats out of office in less than 4 weeks. And that psycho Pelosi wants to send out MORE checks!

If McCain manages to pull this off, he damn well better cut spending. Seriously.

If Obama wins, well, I have been saving seeds from my garden, I know how to fish, and I can learn to hunt.

Obama is selling pie-in-the-sky to his deluded cultists. Can't happen given all the economic circumstances. In fact, he is going to have to raise taxes on the middle class to do a minimum of his promised programs. And perhaps even if he scraps them all. Barry is going to be a deer in the headlights if he gets elected on the economy. The Congress, Wall Street, and the Banks are going to roll him, and show us all smooth talkers with limited experience don't make good Presidents.

Big winner here? The Clintons. Even if Barry wins she can run against him in the primaries for 2012 for his failure to meet his promises. Going to be the big "O" train wreck.

I can maybe broker a deal for her horse to stay in Brenham with my father-in-law...he has quarter horses, her horse could learn a trade!

Also, the most conservative university in Texas? Has to be Texas A&M. Trinity in San Antonio is another good choice, IMO.

re: #195 JacksonTn

I love it. On a good year I can grow about 30-40% of my own food. Not everybody has the time to do that but the effort is worth it for me.
