A little too seamless if you ask me.

How come icons show up on LGF spy, but not here?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Whar's mah avatar?

Ah, this is the season when work winds down. Time to take some time off, see the parents, and work around the house.

Icons are turned off to reduce server load.

It's rainy and in the 40s here in central Arkansas today; it officially feels like fall! :)

Can anyone help jog my memory? Didn't Obama use the word "rule" to describe what the President does in one of the debates?

I ask because one of his advisers used the same term in the same way recently.

re: #21 arethusa

WTH? This is just ridiculous!

In a significant blow to the First Amendment and the use of legally-correct terminology, Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor has advanced the demands of the Arizona Hispanic Bar Association by moving to ban the following language from all of the state’s courtrooms:

Aliens
Illegal aliens
Resident or non-resident aliens
Illegal immigrants
Illegal immigration
Illegals
Immigration epidemic
Immigration crisis
Immigrant invasion
Pro-illegal immigration activists
Open borders advocates
Anchor babies
Proponents for amnesty

Are you kidding? Good Lord. Hopefully this will be overturned by a person who actually knows the law and understands legal terms. Sheesh.

That is because it describes many citizens as well, mostly leftoids.

re: #50 MandyManners

Hi Mandy. I couldn't have said it better myself!

OK, here is a weird problem, for a guy.

My Auntie was selling church raffle tickets. The raffle item is a gorgeous, hand made quilt, made by loving Republican grandmothers in SC. Of course, I buy a bunch.

I won it.

Will I lose dude points by having that thing around?

And what next? Maybe those little scent candles with potpourri in them? Hummel figurines? Doilies?

Hold onto the quilt, Rawmuse. Some quilts, if they're hand-loomed, go for hundreds of dollars.

My sister is a quilter and she goes to quilt shows. It's amazing how much some of those things cost.

If someone questions why a manly man such as yourself has a quilt lying around, just tell them it's an investment.

Obama flushes change down the memory hole

Change? What change?

He realized a much larger and more developed infrastructure already existed.

Good friend of mine was over yesterday. His son is in the Navy and is scheduled to reup in March. He was told that the 'bonus' they normally receive will not be coming after The Zero begins his RULE in Jan. His son doesn't even want to stay in the Navy under a Zero RULE.

For Eyes of President-Elect Obama Only

(From November 5, 2008, President-elect Barrack Obama started receiving from the Director National Intelligence (DNI) a daily brief on the state of the world the previous day called the President's Daily Brief (PDB). A background note on the PDB carried by the BBC online on November 6, 2008, is annexed. The CIA would do well to incorporate the following in its PDB to Obama)

There is amazement --- and confusion--- in India over reports that one of the first acts of the President will be to appoint Bill Clinton as his Special Envoy on the Kashmir issue to facilitate a settlement between India and Pakistan

2. Well-informed sources in India say that if the President-elect wants to severely damage the developing Indo-US relations he could not have thought of a better idea than to meddle in Kashmir. So many Americans---Presidents, Presidents-elect and defeated Presidential-aspirants--- thought they could help in finding a solution to the Kashmir issue and burnt their fingers and damaged Indo-US relations.

3. This started from Adlai Stevenson, who after losing the election to Gen.Dwight Eisenhower, proceeded to Srinagar ostensibly for a houseboat holiday on the Dal Lake and tried to meddle in the affairs of the State by suggesting to Sheikh Abdullah, the then Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir, that he should seek independence and promised that the US would support him. When the Indian Intelligence Bureau informed Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister, of Stevenson's secret discussions with Abdullah, he sacked Abdullah. Adlai Stevenson became persona non grata with the Indian political class and public.

4. When Clinton became the President in 1993 he could not resist the temptation to have a go at settling the Kashmir issue. He chose as his secret emissary not a distinguished American, but an old college mate of his called Robin Raphael, who was posted as a junior diplomat in the US Embassy in New Delhi. Her American colleagues in New Delhi used to allege that after Clinton took office, she used to go around projecting herself as if she was a trusted adviser to Clinton, who took her into the State Department.

5. Our Indian sources say that she had two "achievements" to her discredit. She instigated the formation of the Hurriyat , a hotch-potch of anti-New Delhi Kashmiri personalities, which added to the existing mess. She also encouraged the formation of the Taliban in 1994 with the help of her close personal friends Benazir Bhutto, the then Prime Minister, and Asif Ali Zardari, the present President of Pakistan. She even met Mullah Mohammad Omar, who subsequently designated himself as the Amir of the Taliban, secretly and sought his help for a project of the Unocal for a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to Pakistan via the Herat area of Afghanistan.

Oof. We've still got basil growing in our little herb garden. I should probably go ahead and harvest all the leaves and make pesto or something.

Living in the South, I've always been of the mind that as long as it's going to be below freezing, we might as well get some snow (it's pretty exiting when it finally snows down here. lol). Of course, we don't get piles of snow like y'all do up north, we're lucky to get a few inches, if it's a really good storm. ;) Mostly we just get sleet. Yuck.

My Auntie was selling church raffle tickets. The raffle item is a gorgeous, hand made quilt, made by loving Republican grandmothers in SC. Of course, I buy a bunch.

I won it.

Will I lose dude points by having that thing around?

And what next? Maybe those little scent candles with potpourri in them? Hummel figurines? Doilies?

Let's see, the taxpayer pours billions down a rat hole, the execs go off on a "holiday", they are still (as far as I know) in place, and the Feds think we're gonna get our money back.

No it is the Lansing Grand River plant.

That's the one that's still open, right? I remember when Lansing Car Assembly closed a few years ago. My family has always liked Oldsmobiles so it was sad to see that one close. My sister still drives an Alero and I drive a Silhouette. I'd like to buy another Olds someday, but by the time I can afford another car even the last Olds produced will probably be antiques.

Back from Munich. Only 1 person asked me about the election, and he was trying to make small talk (in a loud goth club of all places). I feigned indifference.

Morning all, might be sunny for Charles down south but overcast and cold here mid state.

I'm trying to get caught up on the posts here over the weekend and noticed the video of Bill Harris, superintendent of schools in Cumberland County, North Carolina is no longer available at youtube. Does anybody have a link of where it might be, or a transcription?

I see O apologized to Nancy. I have to give him some credit but I suspect it isn't all that genuine, I think he is beginning to realize he can't try and joke on national television like he was chuckling it up with his liberal elite associates. I see someone posted that Bush never had to make a similar apology, Ha!

And I see that Charles has more stuff out about VB and the neo-Nazis. WTF is up with Atlas anyway? Surely she knows the alternate agenda of these people by now but chooses to ignore it. She needs to bury the hatchet.

Oh and that link to the geeky stuff about the possible path to the evolution of life on earth was very interesting, passed it on to the juniorturnspawn who is currently somewhat befuddled on the creation vs evolution question.

Something that I have not seen explained very well, is what happens if AIG fails? I understand it would be bad, but the reporting is a little light on the details. We are pouring money in to prevent that failure, but just what are we trying to prevent?

Who could repair something like that? Certainly not me. It's not a computer.

Hey Charles, could you do me a big favor and delete the comment I accidentally made on the Bali bombing victims? I glossed over the headline and though it was saying R.I.P. for the murderers who got sentenced to death not the victims. I obviously wasn't going to say something nice about the bombers.

Really embarrassing, I'm in a rush this morning so I just glossed over it and it didn't sink in that I misread it till I hit send. I'll be more careful to actually read the story carefully in the future.

Fellow Lizards:

Two bits of news;

1. The AP is reporting that Obama will definitely be closing Gitmo and will bring the terrorists to the US, and aims to create some type of hybrid between military and civilain courts, which will be hard to do constitutionally. The ACLU libs will be all over this, and as an attorney, I am telling you that a lot of these guys will walk because of problems with the evidence. The Dems just refuse to treat these guys as PRISONERS OF WAR and allow them to be tried by military tribunals. The U.S. govenment was not required to give all POWs in World War II a hearing as to why they should be imprisoned. This is just madness. Bill Clinton wanted Osama treated as a criminal, and used the excuse that he did not have any evidence to hold Osama as the reason why he did not take Osama when he was offered up. Treating these guys as criminals allows the Dems to shirk responsibility, and close Guantanamo under the guise of "The Courts let them go."

2. Drudge is reporting the THE ONE has scrubbed his website of any details as to the goals of his administration. Why am I not surprised?

Here's my first:

Probably the best thing to do with it is to get some netting of the sort they make bridal veils out of and carefully stitch it over the disintegrating fabric, then hang the quilt as a wall decoration out of the sun. There is no way to replace just that fabric on a completed quilt.

Its easy to say you're fighting against a vague term. Everyone can agree and nod and say terror is bad. The problem lies in turning that into action. As soon as you get into specifics, saying to fight terror, these people need to die, these organizations need to be destroyed and these countries need to be held accountable, you're now asking people to take a meaninful stance which will lead to conflict, which many do not have the will or stamina to see thru.

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) - "We lost 2 billion dollars and like any other business we have to stay afloat." And to keep from sinking, the United States Postal Service is considering cutting thousands of jobs nationwide. Lavelle Pepper with the post office in Shreveport says they too are feeling the affects of the same disease hitting the country... a struggling economy. "We employ about 685,000 people. If we do layoffs it would include clerks, carriers, mail handlers across all crafts."

Pepper says the postal service is looking to eliminate 40,000 jobs nationwide. There's not an exact number on how many of those could be from the Ark-La-Tex. Pepper says workers who are not part of union with six or less years of service would likely be the first on the chopping block. "We've identified 16 thousand people that are not covered under contract. We'll see what those numbers add up to."
