re: #1 Eowyn2
Huh, talk about money and brain cells - just posted this on the prior thread when Charles put this thread up and sorry for the re-post:

OT and posted in spinoff links in prior thread, but you all have to read this one:

Obama raised $104 million toward election's close
WASHINGTON - Barack Obama's presidential campaign raised $104 million in the weeks around Election Day, a grand finale to a successful bid that shattered fundraising records.

Overall, Obama raised nearly $750 million during his odyssey to the presidency, and his spending in the eight weeks before the election vastly outpaced that of his Republican rival John McCain, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. The reporting period covered Oct. 15-Nov. 24.

The campaign said more than 1 million contributors donated during the period, with more than half donating for the first time. Throughout the campaign, more than 3.95 million contributors gave to the eventual president-elect, his campaign said.

Obama's fundraising sum was more than the combined total of the two major parties' nominees four years ago. George W. Bush and John Kerry pulled in a total of $653 million in the 2004 primary and general election campaigns, including federal public financing money.

The final numbers underscore how pivotal the two candidates' strategies were for funding their general election campaigns: McCain accepted $84 million in taxpayer money through the public financing system; Obama gambled that he could raise far more from private money.

The two campaigns spent identical amounts in June, $25.6 million each. But from there the numbers diverged widely, until a stretch in October when the Obama financial juggernaut swamped McCain. By then, the Democrat was outspending his rival four to one.

The Republican National Committee, meanwhile, was expected to report spending $30,000 on accessories for McCain running mate Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska. The RNC reported in October that it had spent nearly $150,000 on Palin for clothes and accessories. A party spokesman said Thursday that the expenditures were directed by the McCain campaign and that the garments have been returned to the party.

"The accessories used by Governor Palin and represented in the Republican National Committee's filings both in October and December with the Federal Election Commission were the result of coordinated expenditures at the campaign's direction," the spokesman, Alex Conant, said. "Accessories have been returned, inventoried, and will be appropriately dispersed to various charities."

As I've said before, Obama BOUGHT this election and rented America for four years.

Wait! This was a joke?! I thought all guns shoot themselves? Isn't that why they're called automatics?

Gun Safety is an extremely important issue. Movies and TV shows that have guns in them almost always fail to deliver a safe gun approach. And in a lot of cases deliver unsafe gun handling tips.

The NRA (of which I am a member) has the opportunity to help correct these bad images but doesn't think it is important enough to cover. Gun Safety should be hand in hand with gun rights.

Good for them. Easier to catch the dumb fucks.

bbl

Pro football players are not generally drafted and developed because of their ability to reason and think clearly. A good example is Donovan McNabb, who is absolutely incapable of reading a blitz. When the corners line up inside the receivers and the strong safety walks up to the line of scrimmage, Stevie Wonder could read the blitz coming, but not McNabb.

But Donovan is a Mensa society candidate compared to Burress.

But Burress takes being stupid to an extreme.

I would not mind seeing a lifetime ban from the NFL for him.

re: #72 buzzsawmonkey

I'd like a few more people to weigh in. Used to be--still is in some enclaves--that bargaining with someone would be referred to as "jewing them down," and being cheated would be characterized as "he jewed me."

If the reference is to "cheating" on having the safety off, he's using the word "jew" in that classic pejorative sense, with a very slight adjustment.

It is, however, possible that you are right--but I am not yet convinced.

"Juke" is also used as a sports term...to juke around someone is to make a quick running move and "fake" them. However, this definition says it means "to cheat".

re: #28 rawmuse No I wouldn't have concluded differently if he was a republican. I know all about the "free speech" aspects to political fundraising - although why ALL donars, regardless of the amount they give, aren't identified by name and State BEFORE the election doesn't seem to me to be any kind of chill on Free Speech. But Obama is the FIRST candidate from EITHER party in over 20 years to turn down Public Funding and he turned it down after saying he would accept it and John McCain said he would accept Public Funding.
And I still haven't forgotten those phone banks for Obama based in...Gaza.

The network heavily promoted her "Scream Bloody Murder" documentary (that aired last night and will several times more), which addresses repeated occurrences of genocide since 1948 when members of the United Nations agreed on a pact to seek the prevention and punishment of such practices.

You are going to have to do some very, very fancy linguistic dancing to explain how musical terms like "juke joint" or "juke box" evolved into a word for a sports fakeout. A hell of a lot more dancing than is necessary to point out that the use of "jew" as a synonym for cheating or fakery sounds remarkably like the football cheating or fakery term "juke."

Same here in AZ. When I first arrived here from Denver in the late 80's the Arizona Republic was probably one of the most conservative papers in the USA. In the mid 90's Gannett bought it out (from Dan Quayles family). Since then, it's been on a downward left death spiral. The editorial board now makes the NYT look like Heritage Foundation. Yet, they wonder why the number of readers keep dropping...

re: #128 buzzsawmonkey

I am going to have to disagree with you on that one. It's a term from the South, according to Wiki (I know, I know) it's a Gullah derivative.

Juke = wicked
Juke joint = dancing (also wicked)
Dancing around something (cheating/feinting) = juke/juking

Much easier than proving a verbal shift from "jew" to "juke".

I think we have a coincidence here.

The FEC announced AFTER THE ELECTION(sorry I can't find my link) that they were not going to be looking into alleged campaign violation laws of Obama's Campaign but were going to be looking into allegations concerning the alleged $150,000 that McCain gave to Palin for her wardrobe.
The problem ALWAYS is that the FEC NEVER investigates campaign contributions until after the election is over - and so now what would they do if they found fraudulent contributions to Obama? Strip him of his victory? Have a "do over" of the election?

re: #139 Cattt

Oh, I think so too.

Here it comes!

re: #143 Cattt

Y'all's definitions of juke are sooo white boy.

of course there is "juke joint" which is more from the jazz and blues world, as a matter of fact, that is the more common application.

Here we go on the OJ sentencing . . .

After hearing the Judge for OJ.. She seems pretty tough..

Heh. You said "wardrobe" and "strip". This could be interesting.

re: #138 yma o hyd

Gawd.

We call it 'selling (the opponent) a dummy' - and then one jinks. Not many people can jink really well. As a famous player once said 'you can teach them how to jink, but you can't teach them when to jink'.

What with the, erm, mentally differently abilities of some of those players mentioned above, i can now understand why rugby hasn't really taken off in your nick of the woods ...

(No offense!)

Haines and Haynes CB and Safety for Oakland back in the '80s, were among the best defensive backfielders at the time. Of my favorite receiver Steve Largent they said, "covering Largent is like trying to cover smoke."

re: #146 OldLineTexan

I am going to have to disagree with you on that one. It's a term from the South, according to Wiki (I know, I know) it's a Gullah derivative.

Juke = wicked
Juke joint = dancing (also wicked)
Dancing around something (cheating/feinting) = juke/juking

Much easier than proving a verbal shift from "jew" to "juke".

I think we have a coincidence here.

This all reminds me of the bit in Annie Hall, where Woody Allen's character is sure a guy is anti-Semitic because he answered "did jew?" (e.g., did you?) to something. Working title for Annie Hall - It Had to Be Jew.

re: #121 Iron Fist

Neat concept weapon. Someone posted a link to it a couple of nights ago. If they can make one if .410, why can't the do the same basic thing in 20ga? It'd need a vertical foregrip, and the recoil might be punishing, but it'd sure make me drop a load in my pants if you pulled the SOB on me!

Would that be juking and duking?

re: #155 realwest

Yes, I understand all that. I guess I just want to see you move forward with your life, rather than whizzing in the wind with all these things. Nothing will come of any of it.

We are in for a 4 year torrent of excrement issuing from the fire hose of Liberalism.

re: #150 Daisy

"Jinks" is that some sort of combined slur of Jews and Chinese? Just kidding.

Only if it comes out of the mouth of an English skinhead.
(Also joking!)

re: #165 VegasRick

OJ is going to get 18 yrs, 12 minimum.

Well, there does seem to be justice in the world, even if it works mysteriously and slowly.

Hey, OJ. Look at the bright side. You will have a much better chance of finding Nichole and Ron's murderer in a prison, than on a golf course.

re: #133 buzzsawmonkey

I'm not arguing with you. I'm now merely curious as to where the term in this context comes from. "Juke joint" doesn't cut it as an explanation, at least not without some better bridge information.

You're just sitting there wanting to be offended. It's dumb. Have you ever seen a football game? The term comes from the quick stutter steps, spin moves, etc. to get past a guy standing right in front of you. That term has been around since I've been watching/playing sports - 30+ years.

re: #166 OldLineTexan

Wow, those poor kids. Not that they haven't already been traumatized, but sheesh.

Those kids have been through Hell. However, can you image your father murdering your mother and then getting custody of you?! I recall that the daughter called 911 on her father - nothing happened.

That was hilarious!

re: #133 buzzsawmonkey
OK - here's the best I can do: "Juke Joints'" are where people danced or "juked" - Wide Receivers (of which Plaxico WAS one) frequently try to make defenders miss them when the defender tries to tackle them by shifting around - faking left, going right - "juking" is what it's called in football which is where Plaxico USED to make his living.

My 16 years is the 15 years concurrent sentences, plus the 1 yeat concurrent sentence.

Highest charge was because there was a gun. I think with the lesser charges consecutive, he has 16 years, with 5 years before the possibility of probation.

re: #128 buzzsawmonkey

Acc to Harpers-Collins dictionary of American slang, it does indeed come from juke box, juke joint, etc. The verb "to juke" originally meant to go bar-hopping at dance places, then later came to mean to be a smooth player..being cool, having good dance moves, but avoiding trouble and predatory women...to finesse a tricky situation. The sports term combines the the dance and the avoidance. Its 1st documented sports use was in baseball in the early 60's in ref to pitchers "juking" a good hitter in a tough situation, but it is most commonly used today in football.
Thus spake Harper-Collins.

re: #110 bosforus

Quick question:
What does "underwritten" mean? Just heard a radio commercial saying - such and such is underwritten by energy solutions something or other...
It was thrown on at the end of the commercial - sounds like a legal term. Any takers?

Its the public radio term for advertising (since they cannot sell adverstising). The advertiser is called an underwriter. When the FCC relaxed the rulse on what a public radio (or TV) advertiser underwriter could say in the announcement, it became known as "enhanced underwriting."

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I'm going to have to go refresh my memory on that conspiracy charge. I think they had him on tape trying to coach a witness or some such thing.

Lawyer in Calif. points out - parole possible after six years, because of the one-year concurrent sentence.

OT : VDH makes compelling points today -

Back to the Old 9/11 World
Now Obama gets to deal with Islamic terror, and has no Bush to blame.

Especially insightful point -

Fourth, the problem of Pakistan and the Islamist terrorism that so frequently emanates from its soil will now be President-Elect Obama’s to deal with. He will have to decide whether George W. Bush’s anti-terrorism architecture shredded the Constitution and should be repealed, or helped to keep us safe from attack for seven years, and thus should be maintained, if not strengthened.

Obama once advocated open intrusions into Pakistan in hot pursuit of terrorists, and will have to adjudicate whether such actions will more likely enrage nuclear Pakistan or finally eliminate the followers of Osama bin Laden. At the same time, Obama also must ponder whether he should continue our subsidized “alliance” with Pakistan.

Just as I didn’t envy George W. Bush’s lose/lose dilemma in dealing with Pakistan and global Islamic terrorism, so too I can only sympathize with President-Elect Obama, who faces the same dismal choices.

The more things CHANGE, ...

He could serve up to 16 years behind bars, but there will be the possibility of parole after five years plus time served for a total of six years, Judge Jackie Glass said.
