Ahhh....a fresh thread.

Haven't really been following JMV's posts for long. What has she said to cause Lizards to behave like outraged baboons throwing poop?

re: #751 Ozark Mountain Daredevil

Exactly. I'm not going to look up the definition, but to me the word secure means safe. So please, someone, anyone tell me where this "right to privacy" is. I don't see it.

I'm no SCOTUS, but a perceived 'right to privacy' is an integral part of 'unreasonable search'...

Just as Supreme Court rulings have limited gummint's power to 'go fishing' for something which could be angled to prosecute you or imprison you, so there IS a basis for the citizen's 'right' to privacy in LAWFUL, PRIVATE matters.

"Officer, I'm a lawful private citizen going about my lawful, private business. You've stopped me and enquired and I've answered you in a civil manner. May I go?"

IF an officer of gummint has REASONABLE SUSPICION that you have committed a criminal act, then you are in a PUBLIC situation, and can be temporarily arrested legally until said officers clarify whether or not your actions ARE 'legal'...

And all the while you are to be considered innocent unless and until proven guilty...

Yes, made it at last. RLS was a really good writer too. Loved his Treasure Island book. Trying to remember off the top of my head what else he wrote. (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was another one.)

Mmm, new thread smell.

For those who weren't reading the last thread, October 26 is Hillary Clinton's birthday. Happy Birthday, Hillary, and thank you very much to her supporters for their support of McCain in this election!

Glenn Beck presents: The Obama National Anthem

Gateway Pundit: Even Russia Sees It-- The US Media Is Openly Supporting Obama

This week Newt Gingrich said the way the media elites treat Governor Sarah Palin is like the way the Polish Communists used to treat opposition leader Lech Walesa. Newt even compared the US media to Pravda.

Now Russia agrees.
A Russian elections committee sees major bias by the US media in this year's national elections.
Via Ace of Spades and The National Post:

Russia's Central Elections Committee has also assigned its Centre for the Study of Election Technology to review the U. S. election campaign.

A preliminary report prepared by the group, after studying U. S. media coverage on the NBC, CBS and ABC television networks since September, has concluded Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate, has a "hidden advantage."

A preliminary report obtained by the Russian daily online newspaper Kommersant concludes the U. S. television networks devoted more time to Republican candidate John McCain, but "the material that makes up that time difference can be assessed as negative."

The Russian study also said Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential pick, has been subjected to more criticism than her Democratic counterpart, Senator Joe Biden.

It adds that when the presidential candidates' platforms are described, Mr. Obama's is described last, to make it look better, and when platforms are compared, "Obama's is presented preferable."

The observations appear to ape western criticisms of Russia's elections in which international observers have complained Russia's television networks are overwhelmingly pro-Kremlin and offer unbalanced and unfair coverage of opposition candidates.

Mark Levin has more on the media's open and brazen in their attempts to influence the outcome of this election.

Even liberal Bob Kerrey sees the obvious media bias this year.

My wife tells me this is wasted time on sites as this, I say this is the new way to voice our pleasure or dis-pleasure with the day to day workings of our country in a way that the MSM will never be able to convey, AND THEY FEAR IT!

THEY FEAR IT!
Thank you Charles for letting me work out my demons here, I have to withdraw from this site until the election is over due to my lack of well.. "calmness?" when posting . The older Lizards know how we stand in the next 10 days, I leave it to those of this site with a mallet far bigger and better swung than my own to hammer the point home.
I remain, respectfully

What? Offended by Trey Parker and Matt Stone? They offend everyone and make up a few people to offend when they get bored.

I remember when there was a big controversy about the episode where Spielberg and Lucas rape Indiana Jones. I hadn't seen that episode, or even heard about it, when a friend of mine wanted to talk about. He asked, "Don't you think South Park has gone too far?" I replied, "Always! Are we talking about anything specific?"

I think the funniest thing they ever did was have Cartman, upon learning that having Tourette's Syndrome means you can swear anytime, anywhere, without anyone getting upset, starts singing, "I've Got a Golden Ticket!"

Four years ago, Arafat fell ill around the time of the U.S. Presidential election.

I do remember Harry Anderson mentioning 2 funny stories that happened to him in Canada:

1) During the summer break after Night Court's first season, when it was already going to be a hit, Harry Anderson (Judge Stone on the series) was traveling with his magic act as part of a show with several other performers. One night, the show manager says, "Tomorrow night, we're going to be performing in Canada for a crowd that will speak very little English, so you'll need to translate your act as best you can."

Harry had never been to Canada before, and knew very little about it. He spent most of that night translating his entire act into Spanish. Oops.

2) During a stop of the tour in Vancouver, BC, the check-in clerk, of the hotel at which the troupe was staying, recognized Harry from Night Court, and was thrilled to meet him! He mentioned to Harry that, in town, there was even a "Night Court" bar! At the time, Night Court was on right after Cheers, so Harry asked, "Don't you mean a 'Cheers' bar?" The night clerk said, "No, believe it or not, I mean a 'Night Court' bar."

Harry settled into his room (by this time it's fairly early in the morning, about 2 AM), and Harry, not being able to sleep, goes back down to the clerk and asks for directions to the bar. Harry follows them, and sure enough, there's a bar with the "Night Court" logo on it. The bar was closed at the time, but looking through the window, he could see caricatures of himself and the rest of the Night Court cast on the wall. He could also see a cleaning woman in there, so he knocked on the door.

Without even stopping her work, the cleaning woman shouts, "We're closed!" Harry knocks again, and the cleaning woman looks up, rolls her eyes, and shouts, "We're closed!" again.

Harry positions himself better under the light so she can see who it is that's knocking. Finally, the cleaning woman puts down her mop, walks over to the door, opens it and says, "Yes?!?"

Harry explained, "I'm sorry to bother you. I realize you're closed, but I'm Harry Anderson, the guy who plays the judge on Night Court."

The cleaning lady responded, "I know who you are. We're closed." And shut the door!

Arafat's illness as described in Wikipedia:

"First reports of Arafat's treatment by his doctors for what his spokesman said was the 'flu' came on October 25, 2004, after he vomited during a meeting. His condition deteriorated in the following days..."

The freakiness potential for Ahmadinejad's illness just went up.

re: #169 FurryOldGuyJeans

Probably. Iran's economy isn't in such good shape as of late, so there could be a lot of domestic pressure as well.

Help me!

But can't you get your computer parts from the far east? Your NZ dollar shouldn't have fallen as far against Asian currencies as it has against the USD.

Retail outlets that ship computer parts internationally are very rare. A US company called TigerDirect is one I know of. Then there's the difficulty and expense of getting a replacement for a faulty item. Everything's expensive in a high end PC. Too much risk involved. Also, I have a deep fear of my credit card number being used for extracurricular activities should I give it to anyone living in the East.

re: #188 laZardo

Probably. Iran's economy isn't in such good shape as of late, so there could be a lot of domestic pressure as well.

And it only promises to get worse as Iran was the instigator of OPEC production cuts to offset falling oil prices. A double whammy of less money for less oil being sold. Oh boo hoo for Aminejad.

Being POTUS tends to over-ride such petty things as rules and regulations.
