You're throwing the probability function all off.

p = n/1000

where:
p = probability that breasts or guns will be mentioned
n = number of posts in a thread.

The p was only 0.001!

Rare 50 year Arctic Blast Sets Sights On Southern California

With a warm November, Southern California is finally ready for cold storms to make their way in. Resort level snow will be likely next week, and in pretty hefty amounts if things stay on track. OWSweather.com Meteorologist Kevin Martin predicts a 50 year event. While Martin is usually conservative on these events, the pattern highly favors it. “We are in a pre-1950 type pattern, “said Martin. “We know we are due for a winter storm sometime this year. The type we may be dealing with will be ranked up there with the known years before 1950, which set record low daytime temperatures into the forecast region. With this, may come low elevation snow.”

Someone told me they saw the Crown Prince of Saudi on TV in the last day or two. He said the cost of producing Saudi oil is only $2/barrel but their breakeven price is $50/barrel.
Gee, I wonder what the other $48 is for:
- castles, jets, car fleets, harems, madrassahs, security, ransoms, bribes, payoffs to AQ, jihad, entertainment account for Condi,....etc., etc., etc.,....

Questions Arise About the Obama/Blagojevich Relationship

[Link: blogs.abcnews.com...]

President-elect Obama today said "I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening."

but:

Axelrod said, "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."

Somebody might have to fall on his sword here?

115 Right mind left  Tue, Dec 9, 2008 1:59:46pm

I had one of those weird thoughts recently about 0's intensive questionnaire for applicants to his crew. Especially about firearms.

What if the theory is the opposite, that he wants people who have had extensive experience in all these areas and those who disclose all the details almost like a resume are the ones to get hired?

You know, the dirtier the better?

Just hypothesizin' is all...

True.

Someone posted an adage the other day about an Arkansas farmer that struck home with me. Something like, "I can't fix my leaky roof now, cause it's raining."

His wife says, "Fix it tomorrow, then, when the rain stops."

He responds - "Why bother. It don't leak then."

Congratulations on your good fortune. It's not too bad where I am either - $1.55.

But, I fear this is not good news. What it does is divert us from some painful & necessary hard work.

On the other hand - anybody noticing the global warming thingy may be all wrong. Snowing like hell in Yurp & I hear the polar caps are doing quite well. Anything to make Gore look stupid.

Charlie Rose was banging on about bio-diversity and habitat destruction by greedy humans. His guests were all top drawer worthies. He has been erudite, thoughtful, courteous and well connected but dead wrong also on every issue for months. His track record is amazing. My instincts are to agree that science is science and pollution is bad and other creatures are good. I'm a Roosevelt Republican at heart. Still given CR's record it gives me pause.

President-elect Obama today said "I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening."

From the wire tap transcripts, it seems, Obama sent a name to Blago that Obama wanted in the Senate seat, but Blago rejected them because he, Blago, wouldn't get a bribe from that person.

From that it seems that regardless of whether Obama was involved in this scandal, he is lying when he says there was NO contact with the governor.

Blago did something bad. That's it. There's no more context to explain, no political culture which requires further elaboration.

Americans are fools for letting the FBI pull a ""Rod the Rabbit" out of the hat while allowing elephants to rape this Country undetected.

The FBI makes a big deal about what is common in politics. They do nothing to the Corporate Executives who are stealing Billions from the tax payers. Why not arrest those stealing Billions instead of a man trying to get himself and his wife jobs paying $150,00.00 per year.

God bless Rod Blagojevich for trying to support his family Chicago style instead of asking for a free "Bail Out". Elvis agrees!

Had this been in a conservative, culture of corruption friendly state, like, say, Texass, it would not only have been covered up, but encouraged.

Abusing office for political gain is what Republicans are ALL about... which is why the whining of conservatives on this issue is not only all the funnier, but comes across as amazingly hypocritical.

It's amazing to be so famous that when you gain a few pounds, it makes national news.

Wonder if all this came about because Blah-go would NOT do as told and then decided to name his top pick...against the dear leader's wishes...

Wonder, too, if the conversations they were having that Axelrod referred to are also on the tapes or if they happened at some phone booth...

/now it's really getting out of hand, shame for even suggesting such things!

I think that Obama is corrupt , but this was Blago looking for a payday.

It's nice to know that our new President-to-be is entirely unimplicated in the Blago scandal.

No connection at all. None. Zip. Nada. Couldn't possibly.

Despite the fact that it's the same party, with, surely, a number of players in that party and state (cough! Rahm Emmanuel! cough!) that our new President-to-be belongs to.

It's nice to see a single perfect rose arising from the heap of manure.

When there's a hot story, the media usually likes to pile on with background pieces, context pieces, related pieces. This is flood-the-zone type coverage as former NYT editor Howell Raines dubbed it. And the media likes doing this coverage... so long as it's not harming The Cause

Heh.

I qualified with the M-1 first pass. (I'd shot the heavy-barreled .22 target rifles in high school.) Probably only 20-odd rounds, too. We is trained killers, right?

I wanted a shot at PJ (Para-rescue) school:
1.5 mile run - within 10:30 (sub 9:00)
swim 500m - within 16:00 (sidestroke or freestyle) (sub 9:00)
Swim 20m underwater
Pullups - 8 (20+)
Situps - 50 in 2:00 (100)
Pushups - 50 in 2:00 (100)
Flutterkicks - 50 in 2:00 (100)

This was continuous went I was going for it. Run, dive in the pool, then do the rest, overall time was important also.

I got in shape before basic... took several month to get back into shape.

The night before my oldest son went off to MCRD San Diego, he stayed up to watch Full Metal Jacket, just to psych himself up. I later asked him if it helped. He said No.

I havent heard the story yet, but did Obama just toss the gov under the bus?

"I knew nothing about this and I'll withhold comment on an ongoing investigation."

News media rushes to report "Obama not involved." Because he said so, you know.

Heck, I don't think he WAS involved in this particular scandal. It is just the media rushing to cover for him without evidence that bothers me. Their purpose in life, their role in democracy, is to give those really in charge, us, the truth about what is going on. They are failing a sacred trust.

Welcome to my world, the political arena we call Illinois. Illinois, where the bizarre is normal, up is down, and both Republicans and Democrats work together in a Combine for their own interests against other Republicans and Democrats who are "clean".

We're used to seeing this type of mind-boggling stuff on a weekly basis, at a minimum. You really need to see a Richard M. Daley press conference to truly appreciate it.

re: #443 buzzsawmonkey

If you want to break bread with a tax collector, you first need very stale bread.

Then, you grab your tax collector by the ankles, swing him round and bring his head down repeatedly upon the stale loaf.

Done properly, this yields a goodly amount of bread crumbs, which can then be used to coat chicken or tilapia filets for frying.

Dip the tax collector in batter then roll him in the bread crumbs. Voila! Oprah Lure
