It was a great game. And Belecheck not kicking that field goal on fourth down from the 24 yard line in the third quarter came back to bite him in the butt. Terrible call there.

Probably the Jets right now, because they're playing so well. The Habs are a good team, but Buffalo and the B's are the class of that division.

I heard Womanizer for the first time earlier today. It bugged me immediately because it sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. Every so often through the day, I'd hum the section that sounded familiar without the words.
While making dinner tonight, I found myself singing, "In the middle of the summer, in the middle of a park . . . " and it hit me it was Lidsville! I ran to YouTube (yes, dinner was saved anyway), searched for Lidsville, and there it was!

My uncle works at a music store in western mass....apparently one of the perks (prior to the advent of MP3s) was he could get a good deal on imported CDs.
One afternoon he was listening to some random Hindi pop CD and thought 'Hey...this sounds familiar'. It was 'borrowed' (to use a generous term) by the Black Eyed Peas for one of their songs...he never specified which one. He initially thought it was the other way around until he saw that the Hindi-pop song was from 1996 or thereabouts...

#27: Wyatt Earp
Girls or boys, take what comes, love them and let them know it.
I'm an old guy, veteran, disabled, but still enjoying life to the fullest. My plumbing doesn't work anymore the way it should, not like a young guy, but when it did I fathered one son, three daughters, and two stillborn. My wife still grieves the ones we lost, although it happened over fifty years ago. The son is a fine man, but he does his thing, he is a professional, and about all we see of him, mostly a function of location, is regular phone calls and a visit every year or two.
Our daughters too are professionals, but they cling to family, and we see them at least weekly.
We have grandchildren as well, four girls and four boys, all fine individuals.
It is my opinion that girls are more needful of tight family relationships. I would like to have had more boys, I guess to propagate the proud family name. That is certainly selfish of me, but I suspect many men feel that way. No matter, I have three grandsons who will do that, also two nephews.
To me, family is what life is all about. How lonely and uninteresting my life would be were there none.

Honestly, I don't even credit wealthy liberals with being stupid. I think wealthy liberals they are greedy and cynical; greedy because they would never give that money to someone in true need and cynical because they think less wealthy liberals wouldn't give unless the government forces them too. Wealthy conservatives on the other hand would prefer to give directly to the needy and believe correctly that less wealthy conservatives will give to the needy without government coercion.

I have never seen this before laughed my ass off. Enjoy
Dear Diary...
December 8 - 6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!
December 9 - We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.
December 12 - The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. l don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.
December 14 - Snow lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish l wouldn't huff and puff so.
December 15 - 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.
December 16 - Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, Which I think was very cruel.
December 17 - Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.
December 20 - Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Goddamn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow
blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.
December 22 - Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white sh#t fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to pee. By the time I got undressed, peed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the bugger is lying.
December 23 - Only 2" of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she nuts! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24 - 6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the s.o.b who drives that snow plow I'll drag him through the snow by his ankles and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish
shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.
December 25 - Merry frigging Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think shes a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wondeful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.
December 26 - Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.
December 27 - Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze, plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me 1,400 to replace all my pipes.
December 28 - Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. THE BITCH is driving me crazy!
December 29 - 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30 - Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver and he is now suing me for a million dollars not only the beating I gave him but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. 9" predicted.
December 31 - I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.
January 8 - Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

Election over, BBC re-initiates two-minute hate against Israel
As Charles mentioned yesterday, now that the election is over and Obama is safely elected, the Pali war is heating up again. At the behest of Hamas, the press is kick starting the usual biased memes to re-groove the public mind back into the rote about Israel and her enemies, in case our brains got a little rusty during the election campaign when we weren't allowed to think about such distractions as the jihad.
The BBC is among the first to re-establish the correct line of thinking about who the heroes and villains are. In their effort today, note how they place Israel's response as a separate issue to the original Pali rocket attack which brought about Israel's response:
[Link: news.bbc.co.uk...]
Gaza air strikes and rocket fire
Israeli aircraft have fired missiles at targets in the northern Gaza Strip, injuring two Palestinian militants.Militants fired rockets into Israel on Friday.
No, that is not a second day lead. It is a biased interpretation.
The UN is of course playing ball right along with the media to get the game going again. Here the UN executes a well-timed forward pass to the BBC that eliminates no doubt about who we are to single out for public and political displeasure.
'Disaster'
John Ging, of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa), said on Thursday that handouts for 750,000 Gazans would have to be suspended until Saturday at the earliest, and called Gaza's economic situation "a disaster".
Now that the MSM has done it's superlative job presenting in-depth coverage of President-elect Obama's background and record, someone has decided it is time for them to re-apply these same skills and standards to ME coverage again.
BBC does not note anywhere in its coverage -- ever! -- the odd coincidence that what they call the "five-month truce between the two sides", which was really Hamas' cessation of rocket attacks, just happened to coincide with the American election season to the liberal's advantage. We did here. McCain should have!

Woke up thinking about Bambi's plan for a civilian defense force and Rahm Emmanuel's' idea of a mandatory three month youth service. If Bambi is thinking along the lines of the CERT program, it isn't a bad idea but it doesn't need to be as well funded as the DoD. For one thing it's volunteers.
If they are serious about mandatory service then they are looking at the draft, with a choice of military or civilain service. How do you sell that to the typical 18 year old? Or her parents?

unclassifiable -- Gaza has Israel on two sides, Egypt on one, and the sea on the fourth. The map in the article shows that well. Israel may control or influence the Egyptian crossing. That's never really made clear in this article or anywhere. The Palis seem to be able to blow out the apartheid fence that pens them in from Egypt when they wish to.
The real issue is, and it is only mentioned way down in the article, that Israel closes it's crossings when the rocket attacks flare up. There were more than 35 rockets in the last week. To me, that seems the minimal response anybody would make.
There is no good reason why Gaza should be at war with Israel. It's not their country. Less than 5 percent of Gazans ever lived in Israel. If Gaza were interested in any wholesome development, they could turn that place into Miami Beach, with or without Jews.

Too bad all bank robbers aren't this smart:
Bank robber threatens to file a complaint with management after finding empty cash drawers
YORK, Pa. (AP) _ Police say a central Pennsylvania man tried to rob a bank — but tellers' empty cash drawers thwarted his attempt. Springettsbury Township Police Lt. Scott Laird said the tellers were waiting for their cash drawers to be filled when a man entered a Susquehanna Bank branch Thursday morning and demanded money. The first teller fainted and the next two showed him their empty cash drawers.
Laird says the robber then threatened to file a complaint with bank management before leaving.
A customer at the drive-through called 911. A 48-year-old man was arrested about 10 blocks away and was held in the York County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bail. He was charged with criminal attempt to commit robbery.
I hope he goes through with his threat to file a complaint. I want to read the banks reply.

I feel silly ranting about the Israel Pali war. I feel like I'm playing the script the media is handing me. In cooperation with Hamas, and with the liberal movement in America, Israel Pali news was blanked out during the entire election season under cover of a so-called truce. Hamas could have just such a truce anytime they wish if they would just stop dropping their munitions on the heads of innocent Israeli townsfolk.

Perfectly understandable retaliation by Israel. Restrained actually.
My point is that even if Israel could trust the Egyptian and the Gazans to conduct peaceful trade (they can't -- it's fantasy thinking) Egypt STILL will not provide investment (as well as Gaza's other Arab supporters) because they have always taken the attitude that the Gazan's are more useful as human bulldozers to push the Israelis out.
There are numerous article's on the Arab League's refusal to do anything other than insist on Israel's self-destruction and resettlement by the Gazan and West Bank Arabs.
There is no argument here from this quarter on Israel's actions.

It's so hard to yell at misbehaving students when I have a sore throat from a cold...
LOL. I once had teacher, Grade 4 or 5 IIRC, who used to whisper very loudly when she had a sore throat, sort of like a hissing noise.
It was amazing how quiet the class got.
We were all so startled and fascinated by this technique.

Look for the market to open sightly down today. The futures are pointing down slightly this morning. Also, the pattern has been for a sell off the day after a rally as the short sellers go back to hammering stocks again. I see no reason for them to not do that today.
In looking at the market, you have to understand that the dynamics have changed from what they were before.
To begin with, a lot of people who used to be buyers when the market was dropping are now gone. With all of the lay offs, Lehman Brothers closing, and so many people cashed out of the market and standing on the sidelines, there is very little buying pressure now when things are headed south. There are a whole lot fewer buyers to step in front of the train, so to speak.
Second, you have so much bad news out there that the short sellers are just hammering these stock prices. That's a big reason why you saw the market jump up yesterday about 900 points for the low point, once it turned you had all these short seller scrambling to close out their positions.
Congrats to Obama for the rise in the DOW yesterday. Now the market is only down about 1,100 points since he was elected.

Here in PA, we have what's known as a "closed shop" state. I took a job at a local grocery store a few years back, and as soon as I was hired they started taking union dues out of my $8.00 an hour paycheck.
I told them I wanted to strike for higher wages and they laughed at me.
I've since informed the union that since I no longer work there, they can remove me from their rolls.
I still get a statement six years later for my $7.00 worth of pension that I accrued.
The parking attendants here in Pittsburgh have a union, and I was even approached by a Food & Beverage local when I waited tables.
I guess my point is that it's just unspoken "reality" here and all through the rust belt that the union is your friend.

It is a tough spot. You hate to go The Pill route because it is like giving her permission, but on the other hand if you figure she will do it anyway then it avoids a terrible situation. God I am not looking forward to those years.
I know...it's a conundrum. Both of the girls know my views on sex outside of marriage, but that didn't stop me and thank God my parents were open with me and smart enough to make sure I knew the consequences. I'm doing the same with my girls, even though my youngest thinks it's gross when I talk about womens things.

I mentioned this yesterday, but I;ll repeat it here FWIW:
3 Wood's five step plan to prosperity
1. Open exchange desk for the mortgage backed securities. This will provide a clear, transparent, market based price on these securities so finally we can all know what these things are worth. I can get a price for any publicly traded stock, I should be able to get a price for these things too. I know this is in the works.
2. Cut capital gains tax and corporate earnings tax to zero for the foreseeable future. Capital would flood back into the market and corporations would start expanding, and employment would jump. Foreign capital would shift to the US and the dollar would jump in value as well.
3. Set up a payback schedule for every company that got a bail out to pay back every dime within 5 years. Every company that does not make that goal will have the senior management fired and replaced for 1 year. If they are not paid up current at thend of year 6, fire that management group and so forth.
4. No bail out for the auto makers. Let the 3 auto makers declare chapter 11 bankruptcy and restructure themselves. That would let them renegotiate their agreements, unload excess staff, fire the senior management that screwed this up, and come back leaner and competitive. The plant and equipment is there. Someone will use it.
5. Fire the head of the SEC Cox today and start putting handcuffs on the people who committed fraud in all this. There has to be an accountability brought back to the system.
By the way, the timing of the market surge yesterday was very closely aligned to when Moonbatr Dodd said that he doubted the Democrats had the votes to bail out the auto makers.

re: #355 NYCHardhat
My favourite artists are the Pink Floyd (RIP Richard) and it irks me to no end that Roger Waters, the guy that played the giant concert celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall, bashes Bush and the US unapologetically in"Leaving Beirut" and supports Obama and the same type of socialism that eventually leads to big heavily guarded walls.
In an interview on the Making of The Dark Side DVD, Waters states that his philosophy is that we're all basically the same person that we were when we were two or three years old. I'm not sure if success at a young age reinforces this belief that no doubt leads to a liberal way of thinking, but it got me to thinking that many successful artists probably have absolutely no idea what work is, and wealth has always been there for them.
I'm seeing more and more Deadheads and jamband lovers coming over to our side though.
I'm more of a Dave Gilmour guy anyway.

My dad was brilliant.When I was 16 he told me that either he had raised me to know right from wrong and act accordingly, in which case he had nothing to worry about; or he hadn't, and at that point coud not do anything about it.
I'm sure it did not stop him from worrying but there is a point where your kids have to make their own decisions. And then live with them.

I honestly think that much of this is the responsibility of the far left's trashing of George Bush than any particular philosophy. I think most people are just parroting what they've heard from people they've held in high esteem. I've been saying a lot lately that not since Nixon has an American name been so intentionally slandered to connote "evil" than Bush. And the most disgusting thing is that I don't think many of the people behind it even feel that way on an honest level. They're just social manipulators.

re: #394 Jim in Virginia
I just wish that more people that find themselves in the spot that my neighbors are in would consider adoption. The child would definitely be better off, and I believe that the mother would be too. I know a couple of women who have done this and have gone on to live happy, fulfilled lives. On the other hand I know couple of women who went the abortion route and they are as screwed up as they can be. As for single motherhood, I think that for some that is fine and commendable (I am not talking about divorce situations here), but for a 14 year old girl it is just not in anyone's best interest.

If we had a true national community instead of lying partisans dominating the media, people would be so much better informed and would have such a better spirit. This would be more rare and people would more easily see the best solutions when they did have this problem.

Exactly. Organizations like Planned Parenthood need to be called what they are, Pro-Abortion, not Pro-Choice. If they were truly Pro-Choice than adoption would be a big part of their message, instead it is all about abortion anytime anyplace.

I think that is fair and accurate.
Watch any MSM news broadcast for an hour, if you can stomach it. At some point it will degrade into a "I hate Bush" fest, where the commentators actually cheer each other on to say ever more nasty things.
But you better make sure to give Obama the benefit of all doubt.

Because she was a 'good girl' who wouldn't do that sort of thing. Her friends might, but she wouldn't. After all, that is what she told her mother during those 'open' discussions. I told my wife long before any of this happened that there was no way she wasn't sexually active. I see the way she and her friends dress. Hookers would envy their outfits. She still dresses like that, btw.
