happy thanksgiving

hELLO IS THIS MEMOREX!

Coolness. Does the head lizard ever sleep?

Now this is NIFTY, Charles!

Cool, no more page refreshes. Bet that will help cut down on the bandwidth.

Everybody wins with this one, nice job!

Everybody's out front, watching for the new comment.

Wow - just tried it - wow!

And the added bonus is that one gets to the comment very quickly, without having to start from the top.

Nice one!
Thanks, Charles!

A new toy, and it's not even Christmas!

I'm gonna like dis. Happy Thanksgiving.

LGF is lightspeed right now! And with a fun new feature!

It will make live blogging the next event, even better. I can never keep up.

Wow ! That's great !

bbiaw. Gotta get the grill prepped for dinner.

Very cool. Thank you!

Sometimes I think you spoil us too much Charles.

/not that there's anything wrong with that ;>}

The Oil Ticks, they be hurtin.

Oil falls towards $53 as demand worries weigh

Iran and Venwzuela both need $75 oil to cover current budget.

re: #31 Bubblehead II

The Oil Ticks, they be hurtin.

Oil falls towards $53 as demand worries weigh

Lets not forget that some of those 'Ticks" are US companies, with US stockholders, and US workers. Don't get me wrong! The $4.25 a gallon we were paying less than 2 months ago was ridiculous, but I think where it's at (or perhaps just a little lower) is resonable. Any lower than that and jobs/ investments/ companies could start hurting

Happy thanks giving to all lizards who celebrate.

I am giving thanks this morning, that my cousin's husband was not the pilot of the Air NZ a320 that crashed in the mediterranean. It was a training flight and all 7 died. I phoned the family home and he knew them all so he is upset at this loss. My prayers for the families of those who have perished.

You just never know.

re: #31 Bubblehead II

The price got way too high. All the countries that have oil as their only means of support are hurting bad now. I remember OPEC spouting off that $140 was fair price for a barrel. Hey Sheik, I think $40 is a good price!

This one time, on Thanksgiving....

...I went to the local 7-11 for some beer. It was dead, no one anywhere. No cars, no nothing. Well, there was one car in the parking lot. Four guys were getting geared up for a raid. I can't remember what agency, but they were official. They were having a good laugh about catching some perp off guard on an early Thanksgiving morning.

I spent that day being thankful I wasn't the perp, nor one of the agents. What a way to spend the holidays.

I expect this could put a crimp in Russian adventurism as well. The next joint exercise with Hugo may be a couple of shiny new row boats.

I happened to be in a place last night with the TV on to the NBC nightly news with Brian Williams. Mumbai was top story, with extensive coverage. Nowhere in the lengthy report was the words 'Muslim' or 'Islamic' used. By that time, Islamists were known to be behind the attacks for several hours. The phony group “Deccan Mujahideen” was already known to be the name associated with the attackers, but nowhere in the NBC report was that name used. Instead, Williams' reporter said a 'previously unnamed' group had claimed responsibility. NBC did not identify them by the name “Deccan Mujahideen”. In my opinion -- too Islamic.

The majors are carrying forward the Obama Rules they imposed on themselves during the election into a permanent state of self-censorship informed, I suppose, by the calculus of self-hatred.

re: #59 Luigi

Yes, that is just criminal. Ms. rawmuse (bless her simple heart) was befuddled about it. I told her they were Islamist insurgents. She said "But they don't SAY that anywhere" and rather than try to have an argument with her I just let her keep thinking they were pissed off, swarthy, Presbyterians.

I think these Mumbai attacks are designed to shift the battlefield away from the US and allied pursuit of AQ into the Afgh/Pak border. I think AQ wants to raise the India/Pak conflict now. Putting Pakistan on tenterhooks vis a vis the nuclear charged Indian border will politically dis-enable Pakistan from cooperating with Western allies on their Afgh. border.

IAEA Cheif "Baffled" Over Lack Of Satellite Photos Of Syrian Nuclear Facility Supposedly Bombed By Israel

Some choice quotes:

While the agency was unable to find satellite images immediately after the bombing, it acquired photos showing the building at other stages. An IAEA report said those images and other information showed the bombed building had the features of a reactor, adding that agency inspectors had found traces of processed uranium on location.

On Iran, ElBaradei told the meeting that he "cannot exclude the existence of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program."

International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei did not point any fingers in the "baffling" failure of his agency's efforts to obtain the images of the Syrian site immediately after it was bombed by Israel last year.

But diplomats familiar with the IAEA's Syria investigation said agency officials were considering several scenarios, including the possibility that Syria or other nations with an interest in a cover-up had bought the photos and all rights to them from commercial satellite companies.

Dinnertime. Thanksgiving 2008.

Cavemen and dinosaurs obviously co-existed until greedy, Republican cavemen tried to make the dinosaurs work. The dinosaurs unionized and voted to eat the cavemen. Then they died from indigestion.

It doesn't seem like anyone is here but, I just watched a video about the Jews freed from the Chabad house in India.

Besides the rediculously mispronounced names for Chabad, and Rabbi, by the FOX News woman, I noticed that they were speaking to the Ambassador from Israel to the United States. What bothers/confuses me about this is why they weren't speaking to the Ambassadors, or the representatives of the Countries these Chabad employees were from?

OR were the Chabad members actually from Israel? Does anyone know?

If this guy was a plumber, standing in front of an overflowing toilet, how long do you think it'd take him to figure out that the thing was full of shit?

Yep, just another failed UN agency. When will we just let it fail and start a better national organization.

Still hoping...

You are so right Wrath, they are always so perplexed as to motive yet the motive stares them in the face. "Idiots" is too nice a word for them.

ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
WITNESS: None.
ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?
WITNESS: Are you sh****n' me? Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney?

One weird side effect of the new feature. I posted on the Open thread, so it said I posted 9 seconds ago on the front page. And it stayed that way as posts on this new thread updated over and over. The time only updated if I reloaded the page.

But then, it would be distracting to have that time updating every 15 seconds when there's no activity.

Ok, here is a question for you Lizards that like to grill. Is there an after market thermostat for gas grills that allows you light the grill off, set the temp and let the thermostat control the heat throughout the cooking process? I have yahooed it and haven't found anything yet.

I am also pleased with the half time promo for the Salvation Army. Thanks Jerry, you confusing owner you.

Happy Turkey Day all you Lizard creatures.

Obama says White House should be green

Obama identified a couple of easy, everyday ways people can help make their home a greener place -- turning off lights, unplugging chargers for electrical devices when not in use.

Joints Chiefs of Staff: "Sorry, Mr. President, we tried to get ahold of you by phone, but the answering machine seemed to be turned off."

This the same CNN that said the siege was over this morning while live streams from India showed otherwise?

So far we have:

A home smoked ham, Half a smoked turkey, a baked turkey, four racks of smoked mini-ribs, deviled eggs, waldorf salad, broccoli casserole, cheesy corn, shrimp cocktails, three pies and two cakes, we are working on the mashed potatoes and rolls, T-minus 20 until launch of Thanksgiving dinner.

hmmmm,,,, you've given me an idea! I'll bet I can convince lots of Libs that for the next election, it would be greener of they didn't go to the polls (conserve that gas!) If they DO go, they shouldn;t use a machine to VOTE (electronics use energy)

re: #33 sattv4u2

Lets not forget that some of those 'Ticks" are US companies, with US stockholders, and US workers. Don't get me wrong! The $4.25 a gallon we were paying less than 2 months ago was ridiculous, but I think where it's at (or perhaps just a little lower) is resonable. Any lower than that and jobs/ investments/ companies could start hurting

There is no good thing that can happen in an economy without it hurting someone. If we don't have enough hurricanes, demand for plywood can fall and workers at the plywood factory may face layoffs. That's why we have an unemployment insurance system. We don't have to wish for hurricanes so they can have more work.

But not to worry. When it comes to the price of oil, we'll get our hurricanes. Oil demand will rise at the current price, and then the price will drift back up. The average price of a barrel of oil over the next 5-10 years will probably be well above $80, and perhaps over $100. Gasoline prices will go back up to over $3 per gallon. Maybe more. Oil is more valuable than it used to be, because it can power a motor vehicle further, it can be feedstock to more advanced plastics, and so on. Also, there are more people in the market for it. India and China have become industrial societies. They're not full blown industrial, but they've come far enough to hugely affect the demand for oil. Supply cannot keep up. Search as we might, there's just not that much yet to be discovered and easily extracted.

Yup -- roast breast, though, not the whole bird, with just the two of us.

No, we had no turkey, no pie, no salad... but we had FOOD and clean water and electricity in our home... for which we're thankful!

Hi Walter. Had a fresh turkey for dinner. Never bought one that wasn't frozen solid! It was good, but I couldn't really tell the difference for 1.00 more a pound.

In Soviet Union, turkey has you.

Wife's in the kitchen trying to make my famous specialty, sweet potato pie. She never made it before, but wanted to do it this year. As soon as she's done, I'll be tackling the 16 pounder.
