I thought this part was interesting:

Meanwhile, Steele is said to be hoping that his entry into the race will scare off other hopefuls, including current RNC chairman Mike Duncan.

Others vying for the post include Chip Saltsman, who chaired Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign.

Mike who? That could explain some of the recent lackluster performance of the party. It seems to me the head of the RNC should have a higher profile. And anyone associated with the Huckabee campaign has no business in leadership, IMO.

Now you've aged another year
Now you know that Death is near
They say that cancer's caused by beer
Death, destruction, and despair
People dying everywhere
Typhoid, plague and polio
Coffins lined up in a row
Now that you're the age you are
Your demise cannot be far
Long ago your hair turned grey
Now it's falling out, they say
Birthdays come but once a year
Marking time as Death draws near
Pain, sorrow and despair
People dying everywhere
Oh - Happy Birthday

Beats me. What I find worrisome is how much he eats this stuff up. If he weren't a narcissist he'd be telling people he's no messiah, just a man. The fact that he calls himself a Christian, yet is strangely silent in telling the media who the real Messiah is - that's troubling.

Struck me that WAB didn't seem to really shake Pres.Bush's hand - and then she grabbed Mts. Bush and must have kept hold of her.
As they all stood for the photographers, Mrs. Bush sort of tweaked her arm away and gave WAB a look ...

No. It was a spin-off of Maude, which was a spin-off of All in the Family.

Right. For those of you under 30, that was back when there only about 4 channels. This is why we all had the exact same childhood.

Curious. Very curious. Google is using search terms to track trends like flu outbreaks.

What if Google knew before anyone else that a fast-spreading flu outbreak was putting you at heightened risk of getting sick? And what if it could alert you, your doctor and your local public health officials before the muscle aches and chills kicked in?

That, in essence, is the promise of Google Flu Trends, a new Web tool that Google.org, the company’s philanthropic unit, unveiled on Tuesday, just as flu season was getting under way in the United States.

Google Flu Trends is based on the simple idea that people who are feeling sick will probably turn to the Web for information, typing things like “flu symptoms” or “muscle aches” into Google. The service tracks such queries and charts their ebb and flow, broken down by regions and states.

Early tests suggest that the service may be able to detect regional outbreaks of the flu a week to 10 days before they are reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some public health experts say that could help accelerate the response of doctors, hospitals and public health officials to a nasty flu season, reducing the spread of the disease and, potentially, saving lives.

This is the source of the Drudge flashing sirens.

..and Saudi Arabia is heading to New York to preach religious tolerance and foster a culture of peace. Sounds like a really bad joke. At least this time, Human Rights Watch seem to on to it:

World leaders should press King Abdullah to end systematic religious discrimination in Saudi Arabia, Human Rights Watch said today. The leaders will gather on November 12 at the United Nations for an interfaith meeting spearheaded by Saudi Arabia to foster the culture of peace.
“There is no religious freedom in Saudi Arabia, yet the kingdom asks the world to listen to its message of religious tolerance,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. “The dialogue should be about where religious intolerance runs deepest, and that includes Saudi Arabia.”

UN: World Leaders Should Press Saudis on Intolerance

- but still not quite: "Saudi Arabia should practice at home what it preaches abroad,” Whitson said. Saudi Arabia already does that. Many rights, tolerance and respect for Sunni Muslims. No rights, no tolerance and no respect for non-sunni-Muslims. We all already know, that when Saudi Arabia speak of religious tolerance they speak of religious tolerance of Islam only.

"We were in contact with a number of Obama's aides through the Internet, and later met with some of them in Gaza, but they advised us not to come out with any statements, as they may have a negative effect on his election campaign and be used by Republican candidate John McCain (to attack Obama)," Yousuf said in an interview with London-based Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat, published Tuesday

Any show that neutered Robin Williams in his prime was mediocre. Like Richard Pryor's variety show---on NBC--in family viewing time. That was a howler.

Me too! Like he should have been in a McDonald's commercial. LOL

FROM WIKIPEDIA...

In popular culture

The show was the subject of a successful lawsuit brought by the Kroffts against the fast food restaurant McDonald's, whose McDonaldland characters were found to have infringed the show's copyright. (Sid & Marty Krofft Television Productions, Inc. v. McDonald's Corp., 562 F.2d 1157, decided by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in 1977.)[3]

They were simpler from our point of view because we were children. My biggest problem back then was getting teased for wearing floaties at the Brownies' pool party.

re: #339 Wishing

Mork and Mindy suffered from utterly terrible writing. Watching some of the second and third year episodes is truly painful.

During those years, head writers tended to hog all the credits in order to be paid twice, and it was very profitable to let the show go to hell rather than bring in new blood.

For a young writer, was practically impossible to break into comedy writing during those days unless your father worked on "Your Show of Shows" or you lived next door to someone who did.

That's why I went into software.

Very cool. I prefer the Canons after getting one as an engagement gift (Rebel 2000), and then upgraded to the Rebel XTi in time for my 5th anniversary trip to Paris. Once you spend all that money on lenses for one brand, it locks you in to sticking with that brand. Not that I mind with the Canon line. Lots of lenses to choose from and they have great compatibility. It will probably be a few years before I consider upgrading again, although at that point it would probably be to the 5D Mark II (or something along those lines when I'm in the mood to plunk down serious change for a nice toy for myself).

David Brooks has set up a false set of choices for Republicans over at the NYT:


In one camp, there are the Traditionalists, the people who believe that conservatives have lost elections because they have strayed from the true creed. George W. Bush was a big-government type who betrayed conservatism. John McCain was a Republican moderate, and his defeat discredits the moderate wing.

To regain power, the Traditionalists argue, the G.O.P. should return to its core ideas: Cut government, cut taxes, restrict immigration. Rally behind Sarah Palin.

That is the definition of camp 1? Really? That must set up a strange "opposite camp" which he does -


The other camp, the Reformers, argue that the old G.O.P. priorities were fine for the 1970s but need to be modernized for new conditions. The reformers tend to believe that American voters will not support a party whose main idea is slashing government. The Reformers propose new policies to address inequality and middle-class economic anxiety. They tend to take global warming seriously. They tend to be intrigued by the way David Cameron has modernized the British Conservative Party.

So the "other camp" wants to (1) emulate a European model, (2) address economic inequality, (3) "tends" to want to fight global warming (eg "take it seriously") and (4) "modernize".

Linguists call this a "false binary opposition" - Brooks has set up 2 opposing strawmen that are going to fight to the death, no doubt for "bobo" spoils.

Hey David - do you slum LGF? If you do, here are the actual "battle lines" - A libertarian model vs a social conservative model. The libertarians (I am one of them) argue that candidates who lead with social conservatism, outside of being divisive, have rarely delivered on bringing growth in government to heal. Growth in spending is obvious, but more subtle is the growth in federal power which almost makes state governments redundant, except that they won't stand for simply melting away. Growth as in a profound inability to adopt management and information systems innovations of the last 35 years to deliver information (which is most of what government does) from point A to point B with fewer salaried persons in between.

Now Social Conservatives will say they are completely committed to economic conservatism, except that we just had 8 years of a guy that never wavered on social conservative issues and never performed on slowing the government down, and legislative priorities of the 6 year Republican congress under Bush went along. Embarrassingly, it was Bill Clinton who spent at a slower rate and actually worked off some of the debt. Now there are all sorts of reasons for that (like a Republican congress that choked dollars off from the Clintons).

The goal at this point is not to "slash" government. Slowing it down would be a major accomplishment, but certainly not an impulse of those who ran our party for the last 8 years.

Underscoring how unworkable your strawman battle is , David, if we are to think that printing money (since we can't borrow what we need anymore given asset depreciation) and spending it on social and economic aid is going to bring about economic equality, you are dead wrong. The word is "inflation" and it disproportionately punishes the poor and the middle class before it hurts the rich. I don't know any Republicans eager to follow that path to income equality. You are more likely to here about opportunity equality leading to income equality out of republicans i know.

So there are the battle lines

re: #444 unreconstructed rebel

Right. There was nothin' "good ole days" about 15% inflation.

And 21% interest rates.

Oh, and who was responsible for that little financial tourniquet? That's right, BO's financial adviser Paul Volker.

Sheesh!

Iron law of firsties: Say you're first in the first comment, get deleted. (Charles's house, Charles's rules.)

Neither here nor there, but, reminds me of something funny. I live in the small rural city of Seaford, DE. They have a sign up along the highway that says, "Voted 29th best small city in America".

That always makes me smile, cause I can just hear people chanting, "We're number 29! We're number 29! We're numb..."

I had an email the other day about how an Obama presidency was going to be like the Carter years...long gas lines, Iran showing their ass, and disco. Can we really stand four more years of disco?

If you have the dvd version, watch all of the credits and the "thanks to". At almost the very end, comes the line "and absolutely no thanks to Bill Clinton." I saw that in the theater when it came out and my boyfriend and I almost rolled on the floor.

Gotta love Mel Brooks...

re: #345 joncelli

My favorite was the NFL football thing with the little football players that "moved" when you turned the thing on. Never did get a decent game out of that thing.

Yeah, the vibrating metal football field alleged "game" with little plastic footbal players.
What a fraud that was.
More like a physics experiment in random motion.
