I really don't get why these banned people have to be classified as jerks and all. Maybe their opinions were different. Maybe some of them got angry and pushed it over the line. Sometimes you get in a brouhaha and can't find an elegant exit. Sometimes pride gets in the way. There are people who have been banned who were once considered respected by the same people who now call them names. It's childish in my opinion. Getting banned by Charles is not tantamount to being a bad person.

I have a project for you. You're going to go and create a new site called LGF3. Then spend 24 hours a day watching what goes on at LGF2, and writing nasty comments about LGF2 on LGF3. Whenever you can, actually register at LGF2, flame someone, and then run back to LGF3 and brag about it before your comment gets deleted.
Actually, on second thought, never mind. I have a new, far more constructive project: pour yourself a beverage of your choice (Belgian ale, Dewar's Blue Label, pomegranate juice with acai extract, whatever), and drink a toast to Stinky.

Just wanted to thank whoever runs LGF for showing the MyBO URLs. No one could get that stuff to stop from INSIDE by filing objectionable content reports. It took LGF to force them to clean up.
No, Birdalone is NOT a bird, but a fictional character from 1895. think Sarah Palin with a bow and arrow.

Mo's Old-Fashioned Fatwas is now offering a new service...LGF stalker blog names.
Let's face it...you have been banned from LGF. Maybe you were drunk, maybe you were a moby, maybe you're just ugly and Mommy dresses you funny. In any case, you are going to need a stalker blog to work out your fetishistic issues with LGF...the shrine in your closet just ain't doing it, is it? And part of your problem is the fact that your last two brain cells don't care for each other; let's face it, you cant come up with a witty name for your blog.
Well, Mo's Lizard Remover Blog Naming Service is the answer to your tantrums. Here's just a sample of what we can do for you:

I really don't get why these banned people have to be classified as jerks and all. Maybe their opinions were different. Maybe some of them got angry and pushed it over the line. Sometimes you get in a brouhaha and can't find an elegant exit. Sometimes pride gets in the way. There are people who have been banned who were once considered respected by the same people who now call them names. It's childish in my opinion. Getting banned by Charles is not tantamount to being a bad person.
It is usually their post-banning behavior that gets them labelled as "jerks". I would imagine Charles's has terminated 100's of accounts over the years. "Jerk" and similar epithets are reserved for the select few that earn it during their post-LGF career.

I don't think they are classified as jerks until they come back, make accounts and post to stir up shit or make other blogs to bitch about every move Charles or any other longtimer makes on LGF that they see as wrong, a lie, or hypocritical. Surely that energy can be put to better use!

People usually have a number of warnings before they get banned. A lot of them write things that are really over the top and if those things are left to stand then the whole community gets polluted and labeled. It's a lot of work to go through comments and make sure these incendiaries are not causing problems.
If you continue to post the kind of things that you've been told repeatedly not to post, it's kind of a safe bet you're a bit of a jerk. Just my opinion, of course.

I'm just now getting used to the rhythm of this place and I've probably spent 3 hours a day and made 100 posts since I joined.

Savage was over the top most of the time. He did get banned for threatening to use the business end of a gun of his step-daughter's boyfriend. As the rules state, advocating violence is cause of immediate banned with no appeal. Remember that, hatchlings.
His ranting and raving about me at LGF2 and GCP are bizarre. Same with Ed's, with whom I had one run-in about reproductive freedom a long time ago.

re: #315 MandyManners
I'd ask you to go back and check out Savage's posts leading up to his first, and then second, banning but, Charles deleted them for a reason after his second banning. I mean, they were over the top.
Which brings up a good point. I'm not questioning Charles' purging those comments but, it does leave me wondering about their termination which, I admit, is all within Charles right to do. But, when all the name calling and etc starts it sounds petty and childish with nothing to refer to. I don't even know if I'm making sense.

I don't know how the hell mine got to be over a thousand. 99% of my posts get no dings at all, and then occasionally I get a ding or two. Seems like my karma oughtta be about 10.

Y'all may have noticed that 2008 is going to be the coolest year since 1997.

How in the world can the American people let a President so powerful as to be able to not just stop, but actually reverse Global Warmening retire?
Bush must stay. For the good of the planet.
Naaah.
After eight years of being called "Chimpy McBushitler," I'm sure he just wants to kick back and relax for a while.
POTUS, unfortunately, is a high-stress job. No one who has held the office was the same after they left it as when they were elected (with the possible exception of Bill Clinton, who may never grow up).
I think it would be hilarious if, six months from now, Obama is the one that gets buyer's remorse.

Recount, Day 4: Spilling into the weekend
Fifty-three counties have reported complete results to the secretary of state, meaning fewer than three dozen remain.
Data reported Saturday night by the secretary of state showed that 65.5 percent of the estimated 2.9 million ballots had gotten a second look.
The incumbent Coleman entered the recount with a 215-vote edge over Franken, a comedian and author. That lead had dropped in the first three days of the recount, but Coleman rebounded some in the latest results and is 167 votes in front when comparing totals in precincts where the new count is complete. But the figure doesn't include ballot challenges, which have caused vote tallies for both candidates to drop.

I really don't get why these banned people have to be classified as jerks and all. Maybe their opinions were different. Maybe some of them got angry and pushed it over the line. Sometimes you get in a brouhaha and can't find an elegant exit. Sometimes pride gets in the way. There are people who have been banned who were once considered respected by the same people who now call them names. It's childish in my opinion. Getting banned by Charles is not tantamount to being a bad person.

It just hit me in the same manner.
Is why I don't do that gossip thing. I hate witnessing it in RL, and I don't participate. I swear, if I took to heart each thing I hear each shift at work say, I wouldn't like anyone on either shift. And when you see that, so often, you gotta know you're the topic sometimes as well.
I just don't like to talk about people, unless they are of significance, such as political figures who are running things, or newspeople, generally. Talking about sports figures, actors, people in the news (or writing it), etc. I don't mind that. But "real people" with whom we've interacted are just that, deranged and sociopathic or not. I've seen folks who ONLY talk about other people. It's all they do, when they talk at all. I like talking about things and ideas.

US officials flunk test of Amerian history, economics, civics
US elected officials scored abysmally on a test measuring their civic knowledge, with an average grade of just 44 percent, the group that organized the exam said Thursday.
Ordinary citizens did not fare much better, scoring just 49 percent correct on the 33 exam questions compiled by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI).
"It is disturbing enough that the general public failed ISI's civic literacy test, but when you consider the even more dismal scores of elected officials, you have to be concerned," said Josiah Bunting, chairman of the National Civic Literacy Board at ISI.
"How can political leaders make informed decisions if they don't understand the American experience?" he added.

From what I've seen of autopsy reports, and my experience with trauma. Her injuries where not necessarily fatal. IIRC she had a partially transected aorta. An extremely critical injury and one that requires the fastest possible care.
I've saved people with that injury, but had to move my ass. The French medics drove slowly to the hospital so as not jostle Dianna. This required balls to walls and cracking her chest open in the ER as soon as she arrived. I'm not saying she would have been saved, just she could have been.

There is genes and gene expression. The genes may be identical. But subtle variations in gene expression account for the differences.
For example, you have the all the genes for all hair color, but only certain ones get turned on. That's gene expression, not only which genes but which ones are switched on.

re: #468 Taqiyyotomist
Without getting all of the female Lizards into an uproar (I know men do it, to) I have to agree. I worked in an office setting where there were two men and 16 women in our "team". I swear upon all that is Holy that more time, effort, and creative deception were expended on the various cliques of chicks talking to/about each other than was ever expended on actual work. It was bizarre.
"Deb" would come up to me (it was a cubicle farm, so we all heard each others business) and ask if I knew that "Jen" was seeing the guy on the 3rd floor. "Paula" would call me on the inter-office line to ask if "Mary" had taken a call from "Joe" right before she left the floor to "go to the bathroom". It was insane. Once I'd established myself there and wasn't worried about getting blackballed, I'd stop them before they even spoke by saying something like " I don't know, I don't care, are you gonna get that TPS report done, or do I have to do it for you again today?"

Gene expression is modified by what's in the environment as well. One reason they tell pregnant mothers not to drink, smoke etc. With what we know about epigenetics and methylation however I would think that overdoing many benzene ring compounds could affect how your child turns out.

If Hillary does get SoS, Obama will regret it within a year. It might just be a sop to her followers, but whether or not she gets the job, she still has her eye on 2012.
I can see her taking foreign policy somewhere that Obama won't want to go, and then holding a press conference to defend her actions and embarrass The One.
Good thing I have extra popcorn...

re: #531 jcm
There is genes and gene expression. The genes may be identical. But subtle variations in gene expression account for the differences.
For example, you have the all the genes for all hair color, but only certain ones get turned on. That's gene expression, not only which genes but which ones are switched on.
True, and sometimes the variations are not so subtle. For example, in species whose females have two X-chromosomes, one of the two is inactivated in every cell. This happens early in embryogenesis, so different parts of the body have different chromosomes activated. That's how calico cats happen (and why they're all female). So a calico's clone would also be a calico, but with the spots in different places.

So anyway, they sold the donkeys, 5 days later, donkey back at the original house to be resold to another unsuspecting person later.

Government spending more but cutting taxes increases the deficit puts pressure on interest rates and isn't really productive spending.
But the question is not about responsible government but one about what government is likely to do. Politicians are not economists and so will increase spending to do something, i.e. the bailouts.

You know- perhaps they should get a passing grade on that quiz in order to be eligible to even run for office. I mean, seriously. I thought that was pretty standard stuff.
But I like the gameshow idea.
Most of that was 5th grade civics stuff, when I was school.
A high schooler should be able to pass that 100% (in a perfect world).

625 Sharmutare: #616 itellu3times
Missed two. Some are tricky, or obscure. I actually got most of the hard ones, but not with any great certainty! Here's the actual quiz.
Thanks- taking the quiz now.
I just took it. Got 30 out of 33 correct:
You answered 30 out of 33 correctly — 90.91 %Answers to Your Missed Questions:
Question #7 - D. Gettysburg Address
Question #8 - C. appoint additional Supreme Court justices who shared his views
Question #30 - C. decreasing taxes and increasing spending
I did basically take a guess on question 7 -- it was 50-50 chance, guessed the wrong one.
Question 8 is odd -- FDR "threatened to appoint more Supreme Court Justices"? Is that true? If so, how stupid is that -- he can't appoint new justices until the old ones retire, and he can't force them to retire. Very odd.
And question 30: the right answer is "decreasing taxes and increasing spending" but if the government is completely broke, then it can't afford to increase spending if it's taking in less money. I suspected that was the answer they wanted, but it seemed a little more like wishful thinking that reality.

It's the "exclusion factor" that compels them. Being denied something by a power you cannot influence is existentially frustrating. People who have already been members, then been banned, then came back under a new identity are people who have no understanding of their own motivations. They want something (membership) that they don't really want (or they wouldn't have gotten themselves banned) and will do whatever is necessary to feel that they are the ones who "dissed" LGF, rather than the other way around.

The Court Packing scheme si something I could see BHO trying to resurrect. Remeber that the most conservative justices are older, Scalia is 72, but less likely to retire than the liberal Justices like Ginsberg. FDR tried to get a new Justice appointed for every one on the Court over 70. Remember Congress sets the size of the Court, they can expand or, in theory, shrink it.

Then decrease it to 4- Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts.

re: #770 FurryOldGuyJeans
There was no limit to the number of justices at the time so FDR's threat had real teeth.
re: #772 Honorary Yooper
He tried to pack the court. FDR wanted to increase the size of the SCOTUS beyond its nine members to get his New Deal past them, including the fascist-styled National Recovery Administration.
re: #773 n in wi
I think FDR wanted to increase the Supremes to 15,as their is no set number in the Constitution,and then he could just name the additional 6.
etc.
Well, there ya go! That was one question I definitely did not know that answer to. Learn something new every day.
The more I learn about FDR, the more of a wannabe-dictator he seems to have been.
For all the whining about Bush, it was presidents like Lincoln and FDR who absolutely tested the limits of presidential power to the extreme. Bush was a namby-pamby by comparison.

Saudi spending cures Rochester economic woes
ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) - Rochester officials say members of Saudi Arabia's royal family spent enough money during their visit this week to remedy the area's economic woes for the year.Estimates of their spending ranged from $1 million to $2.5 million during an eight-day visit.
Saudi Arabian King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz arrived in Rochester on Nov. 15 for a check up at the Mayo Clinic. He was accompanied by at least five Saudi princes and hundreds of others.
The king left Wednesday, but some members of his group remain in Rochester.
Rochester Convention and Visitors Bureau executive director Brad Jones says the royal family's spending should remedy a slight economic downturn that started in Rochester in October.
Mayo Clinic has not acknowledged the king's visit.

re: #925 realwest
Yeah, that's what I thought the answer shoulda been to #30 - is that the only one you missed? I also missed #33
cause I thought government debt would be zero. And I still don't know why it doesn't!
If taxes equal government spending, then:
A. government debt is zero
B. printing money no longer causes inflation
C. government is not helping anybody
D. tax per person equals government spending per person
E. tax loopholes and special-interest spending are absent
Excess spending is one way to get into debt, other debt is not so bad. Think of a mortgage, it isn't bad debt unless you're upside down. War, big capital projects things like that will cause debt, the payments are part of spending, if gov has a plan to retire the debt it's not a entirely bad thing.

I don't believe that's the case. The VP isn't a cabinet member.
Agnew's resignation triggered the first use of the 25th Amendment, as the vacancy prompted the appointment and confirmation of Gerald Ford, the House Minority Leader, as his successor. It remains one of only two times that the amendment has been employed to fill a Vice Presidential vacancy. The second time was when Ford, after becoming President upon Nixon's resignation, chose Nelson Rockefeller (originally Agnew's mentor in the moderate wing of the Republican Party) to succeed him as Vice President.

re: #1022 Perplexed
People and war. Sobering article from Wired.
The U.S. tested its first atomic weapon in the New Mexico desert at 2:41 A.M. on May 7, 1945—just as the Allies were accepting Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender. But the war with Japan raged on, and the new U.S. President, Harry Truman, struggled with the power he now controlled. “Even if the Japs are savages, ruthless, merciless and fanatic, we as the leader of the world...cannot drop this terrible bomb on the old capital [Kyoto],” he confided to his diary. “The target will be a purely military one and we will issue a warning statement asking the Japs to surrender.” In fact, Japan was on the verge of surrender and it might well have capitulated had they been told the Emperor could remain on his throne.* The Allies, however, insisted on unconditional surrender, and the Japanese refused. At 8:16 A.M. on August 6, a uranium-235 device called Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima; a plutonium bomb, “Fat Man,” was dropped on Nagasaki two days later. On September 2, 1945, the Japanese formally surrendered. The genie was out of the bottle.
Bullshit, the militarist were insistent on continuing the war, an aborted coup attempt after the bombings had it succeed would have continued the war.
Fact: 140 million died in wars from 1900-1945, less than 20 million from 1945-1990. The atomic bomb very arguably saved many more lives than it took.

How to REALLY piss off the Democrats:
1. Bush resigns now.
2. Dick Cheney is sworn in as president.
3. Dick Cheney appoints Condoleeza Rice as his VP.
4. Dick Cheney resigns as president.
5. Condoleeza Rice, a Republican, is sworn in as the first black U.S. president!
I love it! I say Bush resigns on 1/17, Cheney resigns on 1/18, leaving Rice to be president for a day.
If the Dems complain, Bush can say "what's worse, me spending the last days of my term making a Black woman the president of the United States, or Clinton spending the last days of his term pardoning felons in exchange for cash?"

Fact: 140 million died in wars from 1900-1945, less than 20 million from 1945-1990. The atomic bomb very arguably saved many more lives than it took.

You should. And I don't say that lightly about a cartoon.
It may sound a bit strange, but the cross-country trip shown in the movie... I've done that. I've been way-laid in odd little side-towns in the middle of nowhere, met the local colorful types. I can vouch for reality's reflection in such a wonky visual presentation.
Hollywood usually considers "fly-over country" not worth their time, except for sneering. Cars isn't like that. It isn't condescending in the least. Sure, it plays types for laughs, but it dismisses nobody out-of-hand, even the spoilt types.
It's also noteworthy as Paul Newman's last movie role, albeit one he could do with a script right in front of him. He was old, and no longer able to memorize his lines, but he still knew how to bring the right character into his presentation.

Modernizing the Nuclear Arsenal
Over the past year, much attention has been paid to the "human" element of our nuclear arsenal. Embarrassing incidents at Minot AFB, North Dakota and Hill AFB, Utah prompted a comprehensive review of the Air Force's nuclear enterprise, and generated reforms aimed at bolstering experience and accountability among personnel who protect, service and handle nuclear weapons.
But the technology of our nuclear inventory also requires serious attention. The Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, Air Force General Kevin Chilton, emphasized that point in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. Among the world's major nuclear powers, the United States is the only one not investing in new weapons technology. As a result, our deterrent rests on an aging arsenal, with declining reliability, and yes, increasing safety concerns.
As General Chilton explained to the Journal's Melanie Kirkpatrick:
"We've done a pretty good job of maintaining our delivery platforms," the general says, by which he means submarines, intercontinental ballistic missiles and intercontinental bombers. But nuclear warheads are a different story. They are Cold War legacies, he says, "designed for about a 15- to 20-year life." That worked fine back when "we had a very robust infrastructure . . . that replenished those families of weapons at regular intervals." Now, however, "they're all older than 20 years . . . The analogy would be trying to extend the life of your '57 Chevrolet into the 21st century."
Gen. Chilton pulls out a prop to illustrate his point: a glass bulb about two inches high. "This is a component of a V-61" nuclear warhead, he says. It was in "one of our gravity weapons" -- a weapon from the 1950s and '60s that is still in the U.S. arsenal. He pauses to look around the Journal's conference table. "I remember what these things were for. I bet you don't. It's a vacuum tube. My father used to take these out of the television set
in the 1950s and '60s down to the local supermarket to test them and replace them."
And here comes the punch line: "This is the technology that we have . . . today." The technology in the weapons the U.S. relies on for its nuclear deterrent dates back to before many of the people in the room were born.

Boeing wanted the property to build a pilot training center.

A group of local horsemen put together an offer to purchase just the land the track and barn area, but Boeing declined the offer, saying that the race track would be a corrupting influence on the pilots that would be training nearby.

Missed two. Some are tricky, or obscure. I actually got most of the hard ones, but not with any great certainty! Here's the actual quiz.
2) In 1933 Franklin Delano Roosevelt proposed a series of government programs that became known as:
America's greatest policy failure? The cause of the Great Depression?
30) Which of the following fiscal policy combinations would a government most likely follow to stimulate economic activity when the economy is in a severe recession?
With the government we've got coming in? Increasing taxes AND spending!
33) If taxes equal government spending, then:
...the entire US population faints simultaneously!

Well, given the depression started before Roosevelt was in office, his "new steal" didn't cause it, just like 0bama's new policy didn't cause our current economic problems.
But both policies had/will have the effect of prolonging the problems.

No, he shouldn't. He should work to promote better polices than those supported by his lunatic namesake. He should work to make the name Thomas Hayden honorable, rather than loathsome.
Why would he do that? It seems he agrees with everything the rat-bastard commie Hayden espouses. I'm sure the younger Hayden considers it an honor, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was named after Mr. "I'm Not Fonda Jane".

You should. And I don't say that lightly about a cartoon.
It may sound a bit strange, but the cross-country trip shown in the movie... I've done that. I've been way-laid in odd little side-towns in the middle of nowhere, met the local colorful types. I can vouch for reality's reflection in such a wonky visual presentation.
Hollywood usually considers "fly-over country" not worth their time, except for sneering. Cars isn't like that. It isn't condescending in the least. Sure, it plays types for laughs, but it dismisses nobody out-of-hand, even the spoilt types.
It's also noteworthy as Paul Newman's last movie role, albeit one he could do with a script right in front of him. He was old, and no longer able to memorize his lines, but he still knew how to bring the right character into his presentation.
I support Pixar, and invested in them when they were still their own company (so I wound up with Disney stock!), and still own it.
Unfortunately, I don't get out to the movies much, or event rent that many DVDs. I've heard many positive reviews of it, so I'll probably catch it sooner or later.

Old people can't find their mouths. Really, I mean it. Tonight was a perfect example. We sell snacks at our bar in the lobby of the theatre. So, tonight I had the perfect storm.
A lady, evidently in her late 60's, is walking slowly from the bar to the entrance to the theatre to get her seat. She just purchased a bag of peanuts. And she is trying to eat the peanuts and walk at the same time.
Folks, this takes a little coordination, and if you're getting close to getting the back seat in a hearse, you shouldn't try this.
So there she is, walking across the lobby, shoving peanuts in the general direction of her mouth, and dropping just about every other peanut on the floor.
Right behind her was her best friend, the largest woman in the room. She is having trouble even seeing her feet, and without fail, she manages to step ON EVERY DAMN PEANUT ON THE FLOOR.
Because of her size, she doesn't step in a normal foot forward pattern. No, her feet kind a swivels every time she puts a foot down. So, old lady, peanuts, big lady, crunch and swivels amount to a peanut that is really ONE with our carpet.
As I said, a perfect storm.

The problem is that the conservatives have no voice on national television, and we need to fix that.
And when I say that - I mean an apologetic press, RIGHT leaning until --- wait for it ---
It's tank time and we say whatever the hell we want...
We are never going to beat that kind of political machine, with "Now, my friends..."
We needed:
"Obama's fatherhood, nationality and religion questioned, film at eleven!", "OMG, I've got a conservative tingle there!" and "Yes, Palin's handler's took her shopping, but why did The 'o' need a 3-million dollar coloseum?", and by the way "Where did 200 million of the campaign money actually come from? We investigate and report!"
We need an actual NATIONAL TV NETWORK, bought and paid for by conservative advertising. This can't be that hard, just expensive.
Conservative talk-radio has BURIED every Demo attempt at radio... The advertisers aren't there. (Just ask Al - 'and by the way, where did THAT money go?' Frankin, ...) And because they can't come up with the bucks, here comes "FAIRNESS". Silence us. But not TV, just radio.
I may be wrong here, but there has never been a truly 'conservative' national television network. And it would negate any attempt at "Fairness". They can't attack radio, without attacking TV anyway.
They have a five 1/2 lead on TV now.
Just my $.02, your mileage may vary. But you need to move now, before 2012.

re: #1148 Kosh's Shadow
Well, given the depression started before Roosevelt was in office, his "new steal" didn't cause it, just like 0bama's new policy didn't cause our current economic problems.
But both policies had/will have the effect of prolonging the problems.
True, Hoover did call key business leaders to the White House and strongly discouraged them from cutting wages, which wasn't exactly a smart thing when prices were rapidly declining. The excess of farmers asking for and receiving protection, as well as numerous Hoover tax increases, didn't help either. Yes, his public works projects increased debt on businesses, too.
FDR didn't exactly shrink from these policies, however, and in most cases expanded the basic ideas.
Anybody remember the economic downturn of 1920 through 1921? No? That's because all Pres. Harding did, through strong urging towards Congress, was cut government spending, and got the economy was back on its feet before 1921 was over.
FDR and Hoover took what should have been a temporary downturn, and through their policies, turned it into a decade-plus long Depression.
0bama's new policies didn't help create the current economic downturn, but his old policies did. It was 0bama and his buddies at ACORN, with help from Bubba, that expanded the CRA (signed into law by Jimmy Carter) that required Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make over half (52%!) of their loans to people who weren't creditworthy! The Dems in Congress didn't want this fixed, even when the Republican proposed doing just that in 2005.

I was still a little too young to understand all of the implications of what was going on that day but I do remember my very liberal parents expressing disgust at the way Jackson exploited that tragedy.

re: #1076 Bobibutu

Modernizing the Nuclear Arsenal
Over the past year, much attention has been paid to the "human" element of our nuclear arsenal. Embarrassing incidents at Minot AFB, North Dakota and Hill AFB, Utah prompted a comprehensive review of the Air Force's nuclear enterprise, and generated reforms aimed at bolstering experience and accountability among personnel who protect, service and handle nuclear weapons.But the technology of our nuclear inventory also requires serious attention. The Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, Air Force General Kevin Chilton, emphasized that point in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. Among the world's major nuclear powers, the United States is the only one not investing in new weapons technology. As a result, our deterrent rests on an aging arsenal, with declining reliability, and yes, increasing safety concerns.
As General Chilton explained to the Journal's Melanie Kirkpatrick:
"We've done a pretty good job of maintaining our delivery platforms," the general says, by which he means submarines, intercontinental ballistic missiles and intercontinental bombers. But nuclear warheads are a different story. They are Cold War legacies, he says, "designed for about a 15- to 20-year life." That worked fine back when "we had a very robust infrastructure . . . that replenished those families of weapons at regular intervals." Now, however, "they're all older than 20 years . . . The analogy would be trying to extend the life of your '57 Chevrolet into the 21st century."
Gen. Chilton pulls out a prop to illustrate his point: a glass bulb about two inches high. "This is a component of a V-61" nuclear warhead, he says. It was in "one of our gravity weapons" -- a weapon from the 1950s and '60s that is still in the U.S. arsenal. He pauses to look around the Journal's conference table. "I remember what these things were for. I bet you don't. It's a vacuum tube. My father used to take these out of the television set
in the 1950s and '60s down to the local supermarket to test them and replace them."And here comes the punch line: "This is the technology that we have . . . today." The technology in the weapons the U.S. relies on for its nuclear deterrent dates back to before many of the people in the room were born.
Well, there's nothing particularly unreliable about vacuum tubes. Many tubes built in the 1920s are still in fine working order, and I expect that MilSpec tubes used in warheads would be the best of the best. And vacuum tubes are probably less likely to be degraded by stray radiation from the plutonium in the bombs core.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

re: #1201 rawmuse
There is some evidence that beer was the product that transformed man from hunter-gatherers in to an agrarian society.
I heard that was why wine (and liberals) were invented. The hunters hunted and killed and came back to camp and had a few Bud Lights wile BBQ'ing. The libs were already there drinking their merlot and saying "where's mine?" The hunters kicked them in the ass and said the new deal is still thousands of years away. Go get your own, girly-cavemen.

Posted earlier by me: Thanksgiving is next week, so here's some Thanksgiving classics to help get you in the spirit of things.
First, we'll start with some short Miracle on 34th Street clips: [Link: www.hulu.com...]
Staying with the short clips, let's not forget Schoolhouse Rock's No More Kings:
Since Thanksgiving is partially about getting together with friends, how about the classic Thanksgiving 2000 episode of Friends? It's the one where Chandler doesn't like dogs, and Ross is being driven crazy trying to name all 50 US states: [Link: www.tudou.com...]
BTW, if you'd like to try Chandler's name the states game, you can try it yourself at the following link (and you even get 10 minutes instead of 6!): [Link: www.sporcle.com...]
Finally, I'll wrap things up with two unforgettable Thanksgiving classics. First, here's the complete A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving:
Part 1:
The other classic can be summed up by its final words: "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.": [Link: www.hulu.com...]
Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, there's nothing particularly unreliable about vacuum tubes. Many tubes built in the 1920s are still in fine working order, and I expect that MilSpec tubes used in warheads would be the best of the best. And vacuum tubes are probably less likely to be degraded by stray radiation from the plutonium in the bombs core.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
And vacuum tubes are not susceptible to EMP?

Just to be clear, the Fairness Doctrine never applied to print media so the NYT would not be affected. There is no way that print media could be regulated in that way short of a declared war that would not be found unconstitutional.

And vacuum tubes are not susceptible to EMP?
[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]
Interesting article. It's my understanding that purely vacuum-tube circuits should be less susceptible to EMP damage, since tubes can sustain brief overloads of many times their normal rating. Their innards normally run hot, and a brief overload simply makes them run hotter. And, because they run hot, they can cool themselves by radiating heat. The plates might glow red-hot for a few seconds, but if the overload is not sustained, the tube should survive. That's one of the reasons that tube amps are still favored by some audiophiles and musicians.

$1.64 a gallon here.
Yeah, but the drive from Vegas would probably more than negate the savings.
;)
BTW, if you've ever wondered whether you would save anything by driving to a station that's farther away that has cheaper gas, and how much you would save, check out this online calculator.
If you're used to working in liters and kilometers (instead of gallons and miles), you can use this version instead.
For either one, just enter how much gas you need, your car's efficiency (MPG or KPL), the price of the closer gas, the price of the farther gas, and how much farther away the less expensive station is.
Once that info is entered, the calculator will tell you how much you'll save, the max price per gallon you should pay (if you find the price has changed), the minimum gallons required for the trip to be worth it, and the maximum distance you should travel from the first station.
Sites like GasBuddy and Google Maps can help with some of the information.

re: #1287 Alberta Oil Peon
Interesting article. It's my understanding that purely vacuum-tube circuits should be less susceptible to EMP damage, since tubes can sustain brief overloads of many times their normal rating. Their innards normally run hot, and a brief overload simply makes them run hotter. And, because they run hot, they can cool themselves by radiating heat. The plates might glow red-hot for a few seconds, but if the overload is not sustained, the tube should survive. That's one of the reasons that tube amps are still favored by some audiophiles and musicians.
Yeppers!

The very, very last thing the left wants is the fairness doctrine to be put in place. Radio might (unlikely) suffer, but we would be able to take the broadcast and fishwrapper media to task. This is why the "fairness" doctrine is an idle threat. Whenever talk radio becomes too effective, someone will will drag out the fairness doctrine boogeyman. It's a joke. Like threatening a fat man with a free buffet coupon.
If you don't clean your room, I'll force you to watch the swim suit competition!
Agreed, however...
Fishwrapper and the National TV have cut their own throats, and are now individually and in mass, asking for forgiveness. I'll be surprised if Pelosi doesn't declare them 'National Treasures' to save them.
But no matter what, take a lesson from his highness. -- No one is EVER going to win POTUS again without:
1. No public funding, Guarantees the FEC will not audit you. (They like their jobs...)
2. Control of the public airwaves. (4 to 6 hundred million guarantees that...)

No they play that game where they wear long pants and a guy can run up and deliver a ball in your direction at more than 90 mph. They can bounce it, deliver it right at you and even hit you with it intentionally, and it is not against the rules. No one will be thrown out of the game for intentionally maiming another player with a ball delivered at close to 100 mph.
By the way, after four hours of play they will have tea together and laugh, then resume play.

re: #1262 Walter L. Newton
I am a retired RN, and I worked for about 5 years as a head nurse in a nursing home...I was in my 40's, and was inspired by a number of my patients, as they were in their 80's and 90's in a lot of cases, and as sharp as a tack. They danced, painted, and participated in so many activities.
Perhaps if you have free time you might visit one, or volunteer. Some patients only get visitors once a year, and they would love to have someone to talk to.
My oldest granddaughter is now 8 1/2, and this will be the third year that she and her friends will be going to a retirement home near where they live. It was all her own idea to ask my daughter in law to take them there for Hannukah/Christmas, as she was worried that they might be lonely. She sings beautifully, and entertained. They brought small gifts for everyone, and she was written up in the local paper...she is already preparing for this year.
Some of the lizards know her medical history...and we are so proud of her...she was not expected to survive...she has mild CP and a number of other medical conditions. She is my hero, and has been reading since she was 3, just like her Daddy. She reads to the kindegarten classes since she was in Grade 1...her empathy is such that I have actually cried in pride and in awe..
If I showed her your posts re the elderly and possibly disabled? She would not consider it a writing style. She would be furious.
No one knows what is ahead of them. No one.
I realize that you were trying to get some laughs, but I
found nothing funny. When you are in your 70's, re-read your post...you may not find it funny then.
Sorry to be so hostile, but this election has gotten to me so strongly that I actually am not posting that much..afraid that I might be a little 'outspoken'...but your both posts on the subject really got to me.
I am a legally disabled diabetic, BTW, and just thank G-d that I can still do what I am able to.
I have never seen a post of yours that I was the least bit angry about, BTW, and always enjoyed 99% of them.
Sorry to be so rude, but I am just finding this actually funny after getting a video from a friend's son, who I have known since he was 3, and is now nearly 50...it was about a woman a good 10 years older than I am, that I was ROTFL about. Here it is.
I emailed him back that they hadn't paid me for my hard work yet.

I like the bugs.

Well some cricketers (batsmen) are like bugs, they hang around the batting crease all day, and do absolutely nothing but annoy the opposition, and it takes an act of God to dislodge the stubborn buggers.
An Engllishman named Geoff Boycott comes to mind.

nah, we totally came out ahead on the deal. Like I said, he's a great dog, big friendly, gentle with the kids and tolerant of the cat. wouldn't trade him for anything, and the little man would be devastated if he wasn't around...fixing a broken leg was a small price to pay.

re: #1367 srb1976
Our Golden retriever used to be our next door neighbor's dog. we took him over after he got hit by a car (theirs) and they refused to take him to a vet. It was just a glancing hit, at low speed, so he had a broken leg but that's all, and they refused to take him in...wanted to shoot him. All this at 6 am in my front yard. He is the best dog ever...didn't even mind when little man bit him on the nose.

Being in my latter 60s, my first reaction was to wish him the same to his ears when (IF) he reaches that age, but then that would be hateful, mean, nasty and just plain cold-hearted.

You know what Lee. I'll be laughing at myself and others when I'm 80. Gee, the world isn't coming to an end just because some people like to poke a little fun at each other.
In that case, you should laugh at ANYTHING funny, because ALL HUMOR is funny at the expense of someone or something.
So, don't you EVER watch a funny show, a funny movie or a comedian again, else you are being mean to someone.

I will propose the same thing to you as I just did to LeePro. Then don't laugh at anything, not a funny movie, not a funny story, not a funny TV show and so on.
Becuase all humor is at the expense of someone or something. If you laugh, you are laughing because of the misfortune of someone or something else.
That is the nature of comedy. It always has been, will always be that way.
So, IMO, it is hypocritical if you are dumping on me over some senior humor when you can sit here on LGF and laugh (and poke fun) at Lizards like Cognito.

re: #1386 LeePro

Thanks. I was going to just keep quiet, but then read that post again, and was angry enough to say what I thought.
No one knows what is ahead, as I said, and with all that is happening now re the election, a lot of us have a shorter fuse that usual..but I could not let that go, as it was just so cruel. Perhaps he fears getting older. Since that is our only alternative, I will take it! Someone has to get on NY Grampa's nerves, and I was elected! I refuse to let being in my 70's slow me down. It is just a dang number.
Walter has not convinced me that he really understands, and I guess putting him on my scroll list should help. With nearly all the pain in the ass jackasses that have been banned so rightfully, it really is just crying out for a name...but I in no way would want Walter banned, as he has not done anything to deserve it. Being uncaring and unfeeling are not a reason. Only when he is in his 70's will he fully understand how mean-spirited those 2 posts were.
And you are still a young'un!

re: #1209 Alberta Oil Peon
Well, there's nothing particularly unreliable about vacuum tubes. Many tubes built in the 1920s are still in fine working order, and I expect that MilSpec tubes used in warheads would be the best of the best. And vacuum tubes are probably less likely to be degraded by stray radiation from the plutonium in the bombs core.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
When you're switching high voltage at high currents and have to do it in nanoseconds, tubes are about the only way to do it reliably. The trigger mechanisms for detonating nukes has to simultaneously detonate the explosives or you wind up with a fizzled bomb. Tubes, sitting there unused have only a problem with going gassy. They don't deteriorate. The rest of the electronics may deteriorate like capacitors (leaky dialectric or drying out).
