Further to my previous post on this video in the previous thread, this is Camille Paglia on Palin:

I like Sarah Palin, and I've heartily enjoyed her arrival on the national stage. As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is -- and quite frankly, I think the people who don't see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma. So she doesn't speak the King's English -- big whoop! There is a powerful clarity of consciousness in her eyes. She uses language with the jumps, breaks and rippling momentum of a be-bop saxophonist.

Right on, Camille. Pity you couldn't see so clearly about 0bama, but you almost make up for it on Palin.

The left wing commies hate her. She has got more balls then any of them, and she is a woman!
A real woman. Not that nutjob Hillary.

Zimbabwe introduces 200m dollar note

INFLATION-wracked Zimbabwe plans to introduce a 200 million dollar note just days after a 100 million dollar note came into circulation, the government has announced.

The 200 million dollar note, announced in a notice in the government gazette on Friday, will bring to 28 the number of notes put into circulation by the central bank this year alone, as the country struggles with the world's highest inflation rate of 231 million per cent.

On Thursday the central bank introduced 100 million, 50 million and 10 million dollar notes while at the same time increasing withdrawal limits for individuals and companies.

The 100 million dollar note is worth only about $US14, and its value erodes by the day.

/hey, for only $28, where can I buy one?

What is Hip?

ATTN: Geeks
They've finally fixed the bugs in GTA 4 so I've had a chance to play a bit. Highly recommended if you're a fan of the series. They kept this version pretty edgy and the game is huge. There's also a lot of added content of the radio (you can even watch TV in the game). This version has an Eastern European theme so there's a lot of cool Russian rap music that you've never heard before.

re: #114 Killgore Trout

It's a little more PC than previous episodes...

That's an interesting observation, not something I really considered. In what way(s) do you find it to be a bit more PC than previous titles?

What most people don’t realize is that The Matrix is really a remake of the 1969 East German film Wirklichkeit ist eine Illusion, also lassen Sie uns sprechen Rätsel, Eintragfaden-Polizei und Tanzkampf (”Reality is an Illusion, so Let Us Speak Riddles, Shoot Police and Dancefight”). This film was made in response to the large number of philosophically obscure European films released in 1968 and the East German communists didn’t want to be left in the dust by their Western opposite numbers (It’s the RED pill for a reason).

Unfortunately the East German censors were either not “read in” on the project or they didn’t care and they refused to approve of its release and the film was placed into storage until the fall of the East German communist government in 1989. After a very short limited release a number of VHS copies of the film made it to Los Angeles and the rest is history.

(Yes, I’m kidding.)

Since he also seems to have clairvoyance on the US being tested, perhaps he is genealogically related to Nostradamus.

The hunchback of Nostradamus?

i love how sarah was put in the glaring spot light and kept her focus.
all these jerks who have ridiculed her and tried to derail her are losers.
she is a patriot. and her basic solid message touched a lot of people.
she is the real thing. and consequently a threat to useless libs.
they just don't know what to do abt. her.
fck em.

Well, lurking done, photo's video and writing posted. Time for my nap. See you good lizards on the late night open thread.

re: #157 Killgore Trout

Story line and dialogue are about one hundreds times better in this one. Vehicular physics are a lot more realistic with regards to handling and damage models, as well. The fender of a car can actually get smashed into the wheel well, pinning the tire in place. Enjoy.

Later Lizards.

Hey y'all - just a quick virtually drive by posting - but Best Buy, via the Geek Squad, is delivering, setting up and doing data transfer to my NEW computer tomorrow! I'll be off-line for a while I suspect, since it's a VISTA and I have very little knowledge of the VISTA system (but couldn't find an XP anywhere).
Whoo-Hoo - Christmas comes early for realwest! LOL!

What I found disheartening about the Palin debate was the utter lack of journalistic responsibility by the media in their pit-bull attacks of Palin. If Hillary had been nominated VP and her daughter pregnant, they would of been cheering Chelsea on to have more babies. Meanwhile many women found themselves turned off by Palins "macho" female personae that is so beloved by the feminists that NOW immediately denounced Palin as not being "a real women" because of political ideology.

Talkin about games...

Fallout 3

Great writing and voice acting in this game. Particularly like Malcolm McDowall as 'President' John Henry Eden, whose voice is usually heard from the floating 'eyebots' that patrol settlements in the wastelands. "I'm your President, and I think it's time we had a little chat..."

re: #202 notutopia
Thank you very much - but I must say nice things about Best Buy - after they tried on 3 different occasions to fix this 20 month old computer, with no success, they gave me a credit for the FULL purchase price, so all I have to pay for is the data transfer!

it is nonsensical. "feminists" are tied in a knot. they can't even explain why they don't like her. i have actually told some one my friends, "if you don't like her, you don't like me." that shuts them up.

re: #230 albusteve

She does indeed. Sarah Palin challenges all their preconceived notions (and the fact that they hold preconceived notions while protesting that they don't) about what a feminist/woman/mother/female politician should be. They hate her so much it's embarrassing. Their jealousy is plain to see - she truly *has it all.*

Bill Clinton thinks she's hot.

re: #16 Peter Verkooijen

Has this ever been done before, improvising music to prerecorded spoken word? It's a concept with endless possibilities.

It was done many time in early jazz, but probably the most famous example is from Steve Vai's recording "Flexible", a track called "So Happy". It is a stunning display of technique and virtuosity.

The liner credits for the track are hysterical. "Jailhouse Rape Moans, Unbalanced Whitney Midget". Fun stuff right after Vai left Zappa's band.

That was completely lame.

God she was dumb.
