Just a word of warn to Israelis everywhere. The other night Baitullah Mehsud made a threat. That's nothing new since Israel gets several Jihadist threats daily, however Baitullah isn't like the other Jihadis with mostly bluster. He's laying plans on to suicide bomb an embassy or other Jewish establishment somewhere and you can bet on it. Please keep the guard up everywhere.

I was watching the PJMTV piece on the Hamas charter linked here today and started to wonder about something. Charles formed PJM with Simon, right? Now Simon is President and Charles apparently isn't directly involved with PJM any more. Could someone explain to me why they parted ways? I suspect it might be that Charles chose to devote all his time to this blog, but I really am curious.

Liquidations are no longer the bargains they used to be. Widespread pre-discount price increases going on. Very prevalent in the liquidations of Mervyn's, Linens And Things, and the others that happened recently.
All the Circuit City stores are closing now. They couldn't find a buyer. Say goodbye to another 30k jobs by mid-March.

If anyone did that, better get there FAST. Press release states ALL stores will be closed by March
Circuit City said liquidating the stores should last through March, after which they will be closed. A small staff will keep working at the corporate office through that process.

Plasma uses much more power than the LCD. There are issues with where you want to set up the TV as well. One of them is better in brightly lit environments. Can't remember which one, I think it is Plasma, but you need to check.
Stay away from the DLP TVs, there are hidden costs when the projection lamp burns out ($100-300).

I Wanna Be Sedated
(with apologies to The Ramones)
Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go-o, ’til O’s inaugurated.
There’s no escape, no place to go-o-o; I wanna be sedated.
Just put me in a coma, wake me in four years;
Hurry hurry hurry, the zero-hour nears.
I’ve covered up my eyeballs, I’ve tried to block my ears;
Oh no no no no no!
Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go-o, ’til O is coronated.
The planet’s doomed; with O in control-o, we’ll be annihilated.
Just put me on a spaceship, get me out of here;
Hurry hurry hurry, the Zero’s reign is near.
I can’t control my nightmares, I can’t control my fear;
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go-o, ’til O is consecrated.
The people chose to deify O-o: their savior incarnated.
Just save me from His sermons – I don’t choose to hear:
“Hallelujah brothers, your Chosen One is here!”
I’ve never been religious, and now the reason’s clear.
Oh, woe woe woe woe woe!
Oh O-bama, oh no, O-bama! He’ll be inaugurated!
Oh O-bama, uh-oh, O-bama! He will be adulated!
Oh O-bama, oh no, O-bama! He’s somewhat overrated!
Oh O-bama, uh-oh, O-bama! He’s birth-certificated!
Oh O-bama, oh no, O-bama! I wanna be sedated!

Ayers Turned Away From Canada By Immigration Officials
Weather Underground founder and Barack Obama supporter William Ayers was not permitted to clear customs at a Toronto airport Sunday.
According to Kugler, Ayers was told he could request a hearing but that would mean some sort of detention and a possible two week wait. Ayers opted to return to Chicago.

I truly am grateful that Hollywood has decided to honor true American heroes like Biggie Smalls with their own cleaned-up biopic. Beats any movie that has a storyline straight from Micheal Yon's blog....

Radio Shack makes its money by selling lots and lots of small parts. There aren't too many RETAIL places you can go to get the things they have stuffed away near the back. They also get residual commisions from DISH NETWORK and DIRCT TV for every unit that they sell (they get a commission each month from the programming sales after you've bought the unit there and had it installed)
I guess we all go there when we need some obscure part - doohickeys and whatchamacallits.

We got an LCD to use in the outside compartment of our motor home. Regular tv reflected too much glare. LCD works much better outside. I wish I had bought one for home instead of the HD I got. Not enough channels available where we are for the HD to make it worth it and the LCD is way better on the regular channels.

Unless it's a DLP set, modern rear projections don't have "bulbs." There are 3 small LCD displays (one each in red, green, and blue) that project onto a mirror (which is why the back of the cabinet's slanted) and then onto the screen you see from the front.

"A Fatah official in Ramallah told the Post that at least 100 of his men have been killed or wounded as a result of the massive crackdown by Hamas. He said that some of the Fatah activists had been brutally tortured by Hamas militiamen."
While I can't get too worked up over Hamas torturing Fatah, I do have to wonder whether the mainstream media will choose to ignore this "little" development. I guess Hamas doesn't have to worry too much about the "humanitarian" crisis - like feeding its citizens and rebuilding the destroyed buildings - and instead can concentrate on what's really important - TORTURE!

re: #192 newsjunkie_ky
What is DLP?
Digital Light Processing (DLP)
In DLP projectors, the image is created by microscopically small mirrors laid out in a matrix on a semiconductor chip, known as a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). Each mirror represents one or more pixels in the projected image. The number of mirrors corresponds to the resolution of the projected image (often half as many mirrors as the advertised resolution due to wobulation). 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x720, and 1920x1080 (HDTV) matrices are some common DMD sizes. These mirrors can be repositioned rapidly to reflect light either through the lens or on to a heatsink (called a light dump in Barco terminology).

The bulb for that projector costs almost as much as what we paid for the 32" LCD set that's in our bedroom.
But being able to watch movies on a 92" screen is nice. Besides, the thing is rated for 3,000 hours, and at the rate we use it, we'll probably never have to replace it (or, more likely, the bulb will outlast the projector itself).

Talking pets: Obama's guru wants animals to sue you
Obama's "regulation czar" Professor Cass Sunstein wants animals to be able to sue.
Animals can't reason or express themselves, naturally, so the litigation would be handled by human lawyers, acting as ventriloquists on behalf of the animal kingdom. Think Mister Ed the talking horse, crossed with Eliot Spitzer.
"Any animals that are entitled to bring suit would be represented by (human) counsel, who would owe guardian-like obligations and make decisions, subject to those obligations, on their clients' behalf," according to Sunstein. The Harvard legal scholar first proposed the argument in 2002.

I actually think he is a decent QB, but he just does not seem to have the consistency.
Perhaps that is what separates the good from the great.

When my younger daughter was around that age, she had to wear this purple dress we got her at Disney World every day.

They weren't pardoned, their sentences were commuted. That means they are free but will need to proceed with the appeals from their convictions in order to clear their records.
It will be interesting to see if Obama intervenes to ensure that their appeals are expedited and that they are not retried.

The bulb for that projector costs almost as much as what we paid for the 32" LCD set that's in our bedroom.
But being able to watch movies on a 92" screen is nice. Besides, the thing is rated for 3,000 hours, and at the rate we use it, we'll probably never have to replace it (or, more likely, the bulb will outlast the projector itself).
I'll admit something like that would be nice for tomorrow, which I plan to spend either here or watching DVDs. Most of the time, though, it'd be a waste for us, since we mostly watch the TVs in our respective workshops.

The news item recounting how an Al Qaeda training camp in Algeria has been swept by an epidemic of plague (yersinia pestis) has been a hit. Granted the story is interesting, but it isn't something to celebrate.
First, the plague is not a "weapon". It isn't anything we did or arranged, it's just a natural hazard that the Al Qaeda camp didn't provide against.
Second, their misfortune in this case is not pure good news for us. What goes around, unfortunately, comes around. Yersinia pestis doesn't care who it infects, and the circle of victims can widen.
Third, it is unseemly for us to celebrate this misfortune of theirs. While I want them dead, because I can't figure out any way to bring them to their senses and they're trying to kill me, I don't want them dead like that. We wouldn't be gloating if some depraved madman captured them and executed them with some medieval torture. The plague is a medieval horror every bit as awful as drawing and quartering, impalement, or crucifixion.
So I will wish not that plague strike down more of them, but that the ones there reflect on what decisions of theirs brought their comrades in evil to that evil end, and repent. Failing that, may their mothers curse them and tear their hair that ever they brought into the world an al-Qaeda-ist.

The scene with the tapping coke bottle really got to me when I was a kid. The book is much better, Neville Shute.He also wrote "The Legacy", a great story of British POWs,men and women, held by the Japanese during WWII.
Neville Shute was an aeronautical engineer in the 1920's, and wrote a description of building the R-100 airship. This was built by Vickers, I believe, on a fixed-price contract. They cut a few corners, but nothing that really compromised the ship. It made at least one round trip from England to Montreal.
Its rival, the R-101, was a British government project. All the money they could use. They couldn't figure out how to make one motor or prop reversible, so an extra motor was added just for reverse. It was carpeted. Could barely get off the ground until it was rebuilt with another lifting cell.
At some point, they had to replace the entire fabric cover, because the dope reacted with the glue and made it very brittle.
The new governor of India took it on his trip to India. They added carpeting, extra fuel so his dinner in Egypt wouldn't be disturbed by refueling fumes.
Made it to France, when the ship came apart and burned. A few people survived. The British had the R-100 locked up afterwards.

It's very sad to me personally. My father and his family were British. Our distant cousin was the first Jewish mayor of Dublin, Robert Briscoe.He was involved with the old IRA and the fight for independence.There is a dwindling Irish-Jewish community. The modern IRA and Palestinians have had a "special" relationship for some time, training together and sharing distinctly Marxist views.I used to love Ireland and its people, spent time there when I was young and remember the excitement of locals talking about the Israeli rescue at Entebbe in 1976.Sounds like they've been converted to the oldest bigotry.

Omar Khadr linked Maher Arar to terrorism, court hearsGUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba – A teenaged Omar Khadr identified Canadian Maher Arar, who was tortured in Syria after he was sent there by American authorities, as someone he had seen at Al Qaeda safehouses and training camps in Afghanistan, an FBI special agent testified today.
Khadr made the identification from photographs the agent, Robert Fuller, showed him during interrogations several months after the Toronto-born Khadr was captured following a firefight in Afghanistan in July 2002.
"He identified him by name," Fuller testified. "He said he had never seen him in Canada."
In case you don't recognize the name Maher Arar, he is the Canadian who was sent by the US to Syria for "questioning" which turned out to be torture. Arar denied any involvement in terrorism and he received a multi-million dollar settlement from the Government of Canada.
Quick, close down Guantanamo before any more of the ugly truth gets out!

Hamas fighters seek to restore order in Gaza Strip
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Uniformed Hamas security teams emerged on Gaza City's streets Monday as leaders of the Islamic militant group vowed to restore order in the shattered Palestinian territory after a three-week pummeling by the Israeli military. Hamas proclaimed it won a great victory over the Jewish state — a view that appeared greatly exaggerated — and the task of reconstruction faced deep uncertainty because of the fear of renewed fighting and Israel's control over border crossings.
Cars and pedestrians again clogged streets. Donkey carts hauled produce and firewood past rubble and broken glass. The parliament building and other targets of Israeli attacks were piles of debris, while orange and olive groves on the edge of town were flattened.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon planned to travel to Gaza on Tuesday to inspect damage and visit U.N. facilities hit in the fighting. Ban did not scheduled meetings with officials from Hamas, whose government is not internationally recognized.
Israelis hope Gaza's civilians, who suffered heavily in the fighting that ended Sunday, will blame their militant rulers for provoking the Israeli assault with rocket attacks on southern Israel. Hamas, however, raced to capitalize on anger toward Israel and sought to show it remains unbowed and firmly in command of the Mediterranean coastal strip.
"We are still ready and capable of firing more rockets. We are developing the range of our rockets and the enemy will face more, and our rockets will hit new targets, God willing," said Abu Obeida, the spokesman for Hamas' military wing.

Oh you will have the last laugh Shug, the New York Times is so broke its about to sell itself to a Mexican
[Link: www.rationalreview.com...]
The NYT has $46M in cash and $1.1B in debt. In layman's terms you owe the landlord $1,100. and you have $46. so you go to Tijauna to play Jai Lai to make the rent.
Newsweek is going to cancel subscriptions because they no longer can afford to mail their dreck.
Its going to be an enjoyable year for those who despise the collapse of the Main Stream Media and suffered its consequences.
I will be pleased to attend any resurrection of the NYT if she rises from the garbage heap with an objective staff that is committed to fairness, honesty and good journalism.

EU says no money for Hamas. They seem to have come to their senses.
EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner, said Monday in Jerusalem that while the expected humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip would flow quickly, reconstruction of buildings and infrastructure would only begin when the EU had an acceptable Palestinian partner.While Ferrero-Waldner did not explicitly single out Hamas, she strongly hinted that it would be difficult to rebuild Gaza as long as Hamas remained opposed to peace efforts

UN: Hundreds of millions needed for Gaza aid
Published: 01.20.09, 01:30 / Israel News
Hundreds of millions of dollars in humanitarian aid will be needed immediately to help Gaza's 1.4 million people and billions of dollars will be required to rebuild its shattered buildings and infrastructure, the UN humanitarian chief said Monday.John Holmes said some neighborhoods have been almost totally destroyed and many homes have been reduced to rubble. Sewage is flowing in some streets, there are huge medical and food needs, and unexploded ordnance is posing a big problem, he said. (AP)
Wars a bitch ha?
John Holmes? Wasn't he a pr0n star that died of AIDS. If it is, what's he doing in hamassland? Making goat pr0n?

I don't think he could have pardoned them. I don't disagree with what they did. But, as I understand it, the shot the guy as he was trying to run away (akin to shooting a guy in the back) and they tried to cover it up.
Now, I don't care what method they used to stop him, but NO JURY is going to find a person innocent of shooting a person in the back.
I agree, even though they shot him in the ass, the cover up got them.

he turned the whole get a puppy thing into a major propaganda opportunity for himself..
the allergy problem was played up. all the types of dogs w/ fur not hair were discussed. so much mileage out of selecting an appropriate pet.
the whole story was really abt. him. if they wanted a dog, they could have gone to the pound and quietly adopted a pet for their children.
even at press conferences, the dog thing was an out for him to avoid important questions. i find it ridiculous. and it's still going on.
I agree that he milked it for all it was worth. But when your child has allergies you sometimes play it safer than you need to. I speak from experience here.

IMHO the prosecution was a bit overzealous. In most cases of Law Enforcement covering up a situation like this, the officers involved lose their jobs for certain. But often there is no prosecution, and where there is the sentence is certainly not in the 20 year range.
If they hadn't gone for the cover up they would have gotten a suspension for the screw up, maybe fired.

Yeah, bad-mouthing leftists are to blame. The market implosion had nothing to do with the funny-money scams of the Wall Street geniuses with their "credit default swaps", "collateralized debt obligations", and derivatives of this, that and the other.
Pay no attention to the MBAs behind the curtain.
I'm pretty unschooled in economiss, other than some pretty basic principles, but I do understand that the market is susceptible to emotion and panic and endless repetition of bad news. Hell, if told enough that the economy sucks, people start hanging tight with their money, which then has the collateral effect of making the market suck.
At the same time, while I also dislike schemers and scammers, I think that their actions were predictable. When the government starts pressuring you to make loans to people that will have trouble paying it back, the human reaction is to adapt. They certainly were'nt going to just roll over and say 'well, I guess we're just hosed'. No, they're going to figure out schemes to reduce their risk. Hence the packaging and selling off of these bad loans. Let somebody else assume the risk. And of course, by decoupling the consequences of making bad loans from getting stuck with them, they removed an important set of brakes on bad decision making.

Everyone, this is off topic, but I wanted to share with you an op-ed that I wrote for the Philadelphia Inquirer--they are considering it. Tell me what you think:
Op-Ed submission – approximately 400 words
January 19, 2009
LET’S THANK THOSE WHO MIGHT TAKE A BULLET FOR US
I came late to history because here in our country it is so rarely taught in any coherent way or absent the prevailing mythology. However, I did pay attention in another course: Mythology 101. The concept of “scapegoat” was an eye-opener, and since that time, I’ve observed the practice every election cycle where an incumbent leaves office, whether beaten or defeated, and then seems to slink off into the sunset—gray-haired, bedraggled, and stooped beneath the calumny heaped upon his head. Celebrations for the new scapegoat abound. Long live (eight years at most) the man who we will soon begin to blame and curse for everything from melting glaciers to the pangs of childbirth or fat kids. It’s so easy for us to shift blame—thus avoiding having to participate in any meaningful or knowledgeable way in the broader responsibilities required to have a healthy democracy.
However, do we really need a scapegoat before we can hope or change? Do we really need to “beat” our leaders then run them out of town? Even when the candidates are ones we have supported, we are disappointed, look for ways to blame them for their “failure to win,” –then quickly jilt these “losers.” Frankly, it seems very immature to equate our political leaders and parties with the vagaries in the fortunes of sports teams. In fact, this slow torture and character assassination of our chosen leaders seems almost like the Freudian notion of blaming our parents for everything that goes wrong in our lives. I say enough. Grow up.
We must remember to say thank you—and as a people to celebrate the service of those who willingly take on the burdens of public office—especially those who have resisted the folly that can so easily result from isolation and self-pity—the bitter but consoling fruit springing from corruption.
Is it so unreasonable to expect gratitude from those for whom service has been rendered? We tip the waitstaff and valet service. We award the gold watch to the employee who faithfully served—possibly past prime performance. Why not a send off that shows our appreciation and respect for the sacrifice the office of President requires?
It would not take away from the celebration—instead, it would add the grace notes to our democratic process, and show the generous and empathetic heart of a great people—e pluribus unum.

2008 was one of the top 10 warmest since 1880, a 10 year cooling trend, if started would get their attention.
NASA had to revise their data recently, the 1930's was the warmest decade, not the 1990s. This brings up a problem for the global warming models. Human activity is the postulated driver for the warming in the 20th century. In the '30s human activity DECREASED due to the depression, and temperatures increased. Conversely during the post war boom '45-'50 human activity increased greatly temperatures fell.
Please explain how this fits with the human activity model of AGW, and why the AGW proponents have failed to address this?

I figure unemployment of 10% to 12%, commercial real estate is about to hit the fan, the shops can't pay their rent in a lot of places. We way overbuilt on space and it will take years to grow enough to take up all the empty space.
"Overbuilt" is an "overused" word. The market builds to existing and projected growth. But it is also a good canard that when homebuilding falls, commercial building rises - and visa versa. Commercial building was not out of control when you think that commercial building starts 3-5 years prior to occupancy. Maybe bad timing, but there you go..
It all really comes back to that BANKS. How will they contribute to the American economy - will they foreclose right and left or will they use their taxpayer funded bailouts to work out issues with commercial/residential builders to keep the economy going, keep American folks employed and ease the way to recovery.
So far? Not such a good report card. IMHO.

I know I'll get shit for this post ... but whatever ... here goes:
1. I don't believe politicians, so I never believed even half of Obama's campaign promises. Thus, I feel he is capable of "flip flopping" in a good way. That dude is smart. And he has NOT surrounded himself with all leftist nuts. He has a few, but I see them as marginal influences, not his true soulmates.
2. If I'm right about #1, he could end up surprising many of us and becoming a credible and charismatic leader. Many act as if he is plotting to become President For Life, but he is here for 4-8 years. That ain't changing. I know a few people that are close to Obama and they are sports people, not political types. He gets good grades in the "gut level" smarts department. He has earned at least 4 years, even though I voted for McCain. If he does a good job on the areas I find most important, I may vote for Obama in 2012.
3. This country is stumbling right now, but far from "on its ass." Obama seems to be keeping the far left at arm's length, and that is a good sign. He had Tiger Woods praising the military on TV yesterday ... another good sign. So I will give him a chance. And if he does stuff that is wrong, I will rip him a new one. But I want him to be a good president. And no matter what happens, he will never be worse than jimmy carter ... and we survived that!

Good idea! The forecast for tomorrow here (across the bay, about 50 driving miles east) is for 33 degrees, overcast, and a wind out of the north at 8-16 mph. It's also kinda humid even in the winter, so the cold is rather penetrating.

A lot of the same models that are used to predict the weather several days out are also used to predict the decades and centuries spanning trends. If one thing that needs to be constantly iterated and reiterated is that because of the nature of chaotic systems, and climate is the PREMIERE chaotic system, no accurate prediction is EVER possible beyond a few days, weeks at most. Read up on the history of the science of Chaos and Edward Lorenz. The wiki article about Chaos theory has a history section that absolutely blows out of the water all the AGW/ACC bullshit.

re: #555 avanti
2008 was one of the top 10 warmest since 1880, a 10 year cooling trend, if started would get their attention.
The problem with this so-called warming is that measurements are being taken from a cold period. We had a Little Ice Age that ended in the 19th century. Some warming from a cold period is not cause for alarm. There is also a dispute over how warm 2008 was. You say it was one of the warmest in over a century, I say it was the coldest of this decade.
Also, do you have any answers for our energy needs? Do you support drilling in ANWR (the part we would be drilling in is basically a barren wasteland), developing oil shales, clean coal, nuclear, hydropower? Solar and wind is not nearly enough for our energy needs. They both have limited applicability. Your ideas are a recipe for economic disaster.
Now, I am all for conservation and efficiency. Even my washer/dryer is water efficient. I also support telecommuting and car pool lanes and pragmatic conservation. Conserving a small part of ANWR that is essentially uninhabitable and may have up to 15 billion barrels of oil is not pragmatic. And I can assure you that my environmental footprint is much smaller than Gore's and many other liberal jerks. I even unplug my power sources when my laptop and phone are fully charged. I just don't drink Kool-Aid.

NASA had to revise their data recently, the 1930's was the warmest decade, not the 1990s. This brings up a problem for the global warming models. Human activity is the postulated driver for the warming in the 20th century. In the '30s human activity DECREASED due to the depression, and temperatures increased. Conversely during the post war boom '45-'50 human activity increased greatly temperatures fell.
Please explain how this fits with the human activity model of AGW, and why the AGW proponents have failed to address this?

I have to also wonder, though, how accurate the readings are that they use.
I worked in a city, and I had occasion a few years ago to go to one of our "satellite" offices which was literally in the middle of a forest. When I got there, it felt several degrees cooler than in the city - there wasn't thousands of yards of concrete soaking up and radiating heat. It was just the earth and the trees.
My yard actually feels cooler than my neighbors yard - I have a gravel driveway, not concrete, and it doesn't soak up the heat.
If whatever sensors they use to record temps are located near modern-day a/c units, or near places that have a lot of concrete around, I have to wonder how accurately those sensors are recording actual temps vs. the increased temps caused by the exhaust from the a/c units or the heat soaked in by the concrete.

Yeah dude ... that sucks. But he got the job anyway. Vote against him next time if he does a bad job. Right now, he is a blank slate. The guy is Prez and he needs to do the right thing. What if he does?

That's my problem...
Glass Half Full: Jimmy Carter II, lousy economy, more international problems that last forever, gutted military.
Glass Half Empty: The "flawed" constitution is thrown out, a Bill of Rights II is made to promote "positive" (i.e. government) rights, major industries are nationalized destroying what's left of our free market economy, wars break out everywhere because the thugs of the world know he's a fool, Israel gets destroyed.

re: #682 reine.de.tout
Ha!
I have to also wonder, though, how accurate the readings are that they use.I worked in a city, and I had occasion a few years ago to go to one of our "satellite" offices which was literally in the middle of a forest. When I got there, it felt several degrees cooler than in the city - there wasn't thousands of yards of concrete soaking up and radiating heat. It was just the earth and the trees.
My yard actually feels cooler than my neighbors yard - I have a gravel driveway, not concrete, and it doesn't soak up the heat.
If whatever sensors they use to record temps are located near modern-day a/c units, or near places that have a lot of concrete around, I have to wonder how accurately those sensors are recording actual temps vs. the increased temps caused by the exhaust from the a/c units or the heat soaked in by the concrete.
Watts Up With That.
Two big issues. They've change the paint on the Stevenson screens, the box that hold the instruments. The new paint retains more heat than the tradition paint. Second, the local environment around the stations has grown more urban. The other is station are located next to parking lots, airconditioners and even on roofs. All this is "noise" in the temperature measurements that is far greater than the rise of global warming, this noise has never been filitered out of the measurements.

The only thing Obama has ever done is campaign. His record (what little there is of it because it seems to have disappeared) shows that he has done nothing. Even when he was at Harvard. He's trying to scare the hell out of Americans that this is the worst time ever (it was worse under Jimmy Carter), yet he spent more on his election campaign and his coronation than anybody else in history. And he's proposing the biggest spending package in the history of the world. It's near depression for everybody else but him.

re: #303 lostlakehiker
The news item recounting how an Al Qaeda training camp in Algeria has been swept by an epidemic of plague (yersinia pestis) has been a hit. Granted the story is interesting, but it isn't something to celebrate.
First, the plague is not a "weapon". It isn't anything we did or arranged, it's just a natural hazard that the Al Qaeda camp didn't provide against.
Second, their misfortune in this case is not pure good news for us. What goes around, unfortunately, comes around. Yersinia pestis doesn't care who it infects, and the circle of victims can widen.
Third, it is unseemly for us to celebrate this misfortune of theirs. While I want them dead, because I can't figure out any way to bring them to their senses and they're trying to kill me, I don't want them dead like that. We wouldn't be gloating if some depraved madman captured them and executed them with some medieval torture. The plague is a medieval horror every bit as awful as drawing and quartering, impalement, or crucifixion.
So I will wish not that plague strike down more of them, but that the ones there reflect on what decisions of theirs brought their comrades in evil to that evil end, and repent. Failing that, may their mothers curse them and tear their hair that ever they brought into the world an al-Qaeda-ist.

My only point is,on top of all the bad news anyway, the bad mouthing lefties have a truly messed up economy now, after telling us it was all screwed up for 8 years.
Well...there were respectable economic types who saw the writing on the wall during that time who were not lefties at all, just good, critical thinkers. The dot-com bubble and the housing bubble were perfectly plain in their ephemerality. Especially the latter. It was not just the sub-prime stuff that was toxic: the idea that anything will go up forever, that you can buy a McMansion, flip it six months later for a bigger one, repeat as desired, all while using your notional equity to finance those expensive toys you couldn't afford to buy for cash...that wasn't very hard to show up as a fallacy.
Plenty of people saw it coming, and the party rolled on like there was no tomorrow. Buy my tulips! They're the best!
Tulips?
Yeah, it's an old story, and it won't be the last time we see it played out. People's need to think they've found El Dorado is a constant.

re: #743 vet_Missing_Parts (1LT, Ret)
And why does the economy suck so bad now? (Rhetorical)
An Alinsky tactic is to create enough of a crisis atmosphere that the people accept, nay demand, that the organizer make the changes he wanted to make in the first place.
Remember Rahm Emmanuel and the "crisis too good to pass up" or whatever his exact words?
We are in big trouble.
/I'll pass on the scotch, I'm a bourbon guy, but my stomach can't take it anymore, anyway.
I'm concerned, but hopeful. As for Israel, I think they'll be OK with Obama. BO's Chief of Staff (Rahm Emanual), who many dislike, did serve in the Israeli military, so I doubt he's giving all bad advice to his boss. But I pray he has wisdom ...

re: #721 ciaospirit
The only thing Obama has ever done is campaign. His record (what little there is of it because it seems to have disappeared) shows that he has done nothing. Even when he was at Harvard. He's trying to scare the hell out of Americans that this is the worst time ever (it was worse under Jimmy Carter), yet he spent more on his election campaign and his coronation than anybody else in history. And he's proposing the biggest spending package in the history of the world. It's near depression for everybody else but him.
he is a very negative alarmist person. that is his schtick. to scare the hell out of everyone and then of course present himself as the ONE w/ the answers.
it particularly annoys me when he tears down america.
ie when he said to that little 9 yr. old girl who asked him why he wanted to be potus.
he replied "america is no longer the country it could be, it once was."
wtf is he even talking abt? what crazy sentence structure he throws out because he is so ignorant.
he has never been positive abt our country or the fine hard working citizens who have made it a shining "city" on a hill.
to him we are a cesspool. and we eat too much and should turn our heat down so the rest of the world will not hate us.
and he will be sworn in as potus tomorrow.

He will be focused on the economy and everyone knows he has to do it. Social enginering will have to take a back seat and I think his priorities are different than your list.

He needs to have a little sit down with Pelosi and the like. He could spend some political capital marginalizing the far left.

President hands two sealed envelopes to the incoming POTUS. Instructs, when things get really bad, open letter number one, there are instructions.
New POTUS has first major crisis, opens up letter one, advice is...
"Blame me for this problem. Open the second letter when a worse crisis arises."
Everything calms down, the advice works. Bigger crisis arises, opens letter number two. Second letter says..."Sit down, and write two letters..."

I lived through every president since Ike and the one thing I've noticed is that campaign rhetoric disappears after the election. It's my theory that, once the election is over, the president-elect is briefed on just where the bear went in the buckwheat by the bureaucrats who actually run things. To paraphrase Kipling there's more things true than tellable in government and every president, including Obama has had his nose rubbed in it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but why is the world press sticking it to GWB over such issues as the economy, the financial crisis and the like when the dems held the power in the senate and congress? Wasnt it the dems who forced lending institutions into the sub-prime debarcle to help the poor?

Because they have fallen in love with hating GWB. It makes them feel relevant again.
My questions is, after Bush fades from the scene, who are they going to turn their hate towards. I figure conservatives in general will be their next target.

Most of the graduate students concerned were veterans with families and they were starving in 1948.

GWB is guilty. He is responsible for global warming, for tidal waves and earthquakes and volcanoes and for polar bears turning green in the zoo.
He is guilty when your chai tea is not the right temperature. It is Rove's fault (and by extension his fault) when the grocery stops carrying your favorite chips. It is his fault when one red sock gets put in with the whites in the wash.
It is George's fault if the Europeans look down on us. It is George's fault if our kites won't fly. It is George's fault if the Daleks return...again.

He will be focused on the economy and everyone knows he has to do it. Social enginering will have to take a back seat and I think his priorities are different than your list. Now he gets security briefings and he has to know that the economy and the wars demand all his political juice. If not, we'll toss him in 4 yrs.
The economy is the vehicle for social engineering. Fannie and Freddie were social engineering. Instead of disbanding a failed idea, they get a bailout. Government bailouts equal government control. The government is now the largest shareholder in Bank of America. We've got a TV drama going on called Scare America and Obama is the host. He knows scared people are a lot more agreeable. Toss him in four years? I doubt the entitlement crowd and the media will that happen.
The second lifeline brings the government's total stake in Bank of America to $45 billion and makes it the bank's largest shareholder, with a stake of about 6 percent.

He's been playing a clever game, trying to distance himself from the hard-core Left while at the same time appointing that same hard Left to places inside his administration. while he ran to the right on some issues (he's promised tax cuts to everyone but the "super-rich") he's never really repudated the hard Left positions of his associates. Whether it is Jeramiah Wright or William Ayers or any other hard Left leader, he hasn't exactly denounced them.
He's just tried to get people to look elsewhere, leaving him free to appoint people like Eric Holder with little public outcry. At least public outcry that the media is willing to report.
Precisely. The idea that "well, he could have gone a lot FARTHER left with his appointments" is not enough to convince me that his political life up to this point (unaccomplished as it may be) has been some sort of ruse designed to get him to this point. A point at which he becomes the centrist everyman and casts off his socialist ways and his racist heroes, leaves George Bush alone and does the right thing about the Islamist threat.

No down dings from me, but I have more invested since I voted for the guy. My main concern is he's getting more hope then he can possibly deliver.

There are several things we need to know so as to be able to predict how deep the shit hole we will drop into Tuesday:
1) Did Ayers and Obama meet when Obama was at Columbia?
2) Did Ayers recruit Obama to go to Chicago (a place he'd never even been to) to become a Community Organizer?
3) Who suggested and set up Obama to be able to go to the Harvard Law School and who paid for it?
/This whole thing was planned ages ago... for a purpose... answer those three Q's and you might have an idea of what is going to happen. Nothing is as it appears.
We do know Obama was a red diaper doper baby. Raised for birth to be red. All his associations, everyone he writes about as an influence, everyone he sought out was all RED.

Thanks Cog. Ben Hur mentioned this a bit ago. Putin's signature? You think?
I can't say the signature is Putin's empirically, but I can certainly say the signature is consistent with the other assassinations of his journalistic and political enemies.
I try to put myself in the place of the young writer or documentarian or attorney who is contemplating stepping into the newly vacant role. Now that's an example of fear we can almost hardly recall, on our soil.

'Hamas torturing Fatah members in Gaza'
Hamas militiamen have rounded up hundreds of Fatah activists on suspicion of "collaboration" with Israel during Operation Cast Lead, Fatah members in the Gaza Strip told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.
They said the Hamas crackdown on Fatah intensified after the cease-fire went into effect early Sunday morning.
The Fatah members and eyewitnesses said the detainees were being held in school buildings and hospitals that Hamas had turned into make-shift interrogation centers.

re: #954 buzzsawmonkey
Jobs were scarce following WWII, because so many men and women were entering/re-entering the workforce, and factories had cut back production. Housing was very, very scarce--and expensive--because there were lots of new families being started by the returning GIs, and there had been little building of housing for the previous 20 years, first due to the Depression, then due to the war.
I understand all of that. I also know that there was a housing boom going on after the war. I believe it was a period of unprecedented new housing construction.

I should no better,but they been useing satellites for years now.
From your link.
Unlike the surface-based temperatures, global temperature measurements of the Earth's lower atmosphere obtained from satellites reveal no definitive warming trend over the past two decades. The slight trend that is in the data actually appears to be downward.
Second, there is a much more important greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, namely water vapor. Water vapor over the Earth is extremely variable, both in space and in time.
First, the influence of a man-made doubling of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is small compared to the Earth's natural cooling rate, on the order of only a percent.
The last one is incorrect the rise is 280ppm to around 360ppm, hardly doubled.

Unfortunately I don't have the book in front of me, it's at home but alot of what he "invented" was overexaggerated. Geez, I can't even recall the exact title but it goes into detail regarding 33 aspects of US history where myth has become fact. I believe the author's name is Thomas Woods. I'm still reading it.

Evidence please... of Obama's love of country and what he's going to do his best at.
I can point to a pile of people he preferred to pal around with that don't love the country and would most like to do it harm.

[Link: www.defence.gov.au...]
No, he was heterosexual.
Glad it mattered so much to you anyway.
Consider this:
- Even if he was homosexual (which he def wasn't), he still woulda beat the crap out of you, being in Special Forces and all. Man, I'd have bought a ticket and some popcorn to see him do you in.
- Even if he was homosexual (where DID u get this from?), he has still given more to his country and the cause of freedom than the lazy desk jockey that you are.
Fancy that, first intended (yours) insult, and it's on a Conservative blog.

re: #1038 Iron Fist
when Gene Simmons was in college he wrote a paper on how he was going to get rich. He described the whole KISS concept down to, IIRC, the comic book face-painted band members. When he graduated he tried his hand at education, but quickly abandoned it to persue the concept he'd written about. And the rest, as they say, is history.
It is apparent that Obama has been shooting towards the Presidency for a long time. He undoubtably knows how he is going to govern, but he has neglected to tell the rest of us, hiding behing the "hopey hope changey change" mantra to conceal what his real intent is.
Always beware the guy who wants the job too much...

re: #996 Iron Fist
Yeah, I know that. Bush has undoubtably worked hard to help Obama with the transition. That is really conduct that his Office should require of him. it is his last Presidential act.
He's done much better at it than Clinton did, to put it mildly.
That is all well and good, but I see no reason to give Obama any more breathing room than the Left gave W. He's already fucked up his appointments. I keep coming back to Eric Holder because the son of a bitch is so fucking not fit to serve in the office to which he is appointed.
I wish that the Republicans would filibuster him, but I doubt that they will. The Republicans are pussies. They are like Charlie Brown, trying to kick the football that Lucy is holding for him. She'll always pull it away at the last minute. The Republicans will never get any kind of reciprocation for the Democrats for their cordial treatment. They treat the Democrats with respect, and the Democrats call them Nazis for it.
I don't expect Charlie Brown to ever get to kick the football, and I don't believe that "bipartisan" will ever mean anything other than that the Republicans give the Democrats what they want.
You mean the Rinos that call themselves Republicans. One of Bush's biggest problems, aside from not using the veto all the way back to the massive farm bill in 2001 and the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold, was his reaching out to liberal pricks like Kennedy and others. They never give any quarter. Bush was either naive or thought it would give himself some political capital with the left. You never get political capital with the left unless your a commie.

John McCain is the quintessential Charlie Brown - even looks a little like him and ever fucking hopeful that his reaching across the aisle will be returned.......in a Pig's eye!
The bottom line is that the Democrats operate out of bad faith - they have ever since they lost the likes of Scoop jackson, Sam Nunn and Zell Miller. And they justify their lying, bad faith behavior because to them we are the enemy ,far worse in their eyes than the real enemies we face out there. They extend more benefit of the doubt to the Islamofascists and the Hugo Chavez's of the world than to American conservatives. They are truly fucked in their thinking......

Calm down, for crying out loud.
I insulted nobody. I asked a question. In the US, if someone uses the term "partner" in a context such as was used in that news article, it usually means a same-sex companion. It may well be a language difference between Austrailian and American English. I found the use odd, in that context, and wanted to know. No judgments, even had it been true--and certainly no disrespect to the man himself.
Your response is totally over the top, but certainly understandable given your bereavement. I apologize for hitting you on the raw, as I did not intend to, and offer my condolences should you care to accept them.
I do not apologize for the question.

His appointments have their ups and downs, IMO.... he could have done SO much worse. Holder is the bad apple of the bunch because of the Marc Rich thing, although some like Louis Freeh seem to say that had it not been for that fiasco, they would have no problem with him or his integrity.

Well played gentlemen. But, I will certainly never speak to Avante.
Do you know what Avante is? Take a look at his Avitar... he is a man who has spent at least 10 years in uniform defending his nation, and respectfully serving his POTUS.
He took an oath to follow the orders of those appointed over him. The POTUS is appointed over him.
Avante seems to be an honorable man... I believe he is, those anchors mean something.
Disagree with him if you must... but never question his honor, courage or committment to the defense of our beloved nation.

re: #927 vet_Missing_Parts (1LT, Ret)
1. Possibly. Zombie never could quite nail it, but we know that Obama and Ayers were living in NYC at the same time. From [Link: www.theobamafile.com...]
"Obama and the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers were at college -- within a quarter mile of each other -- for two years in 1982 and 1983.
When Obama was at Columbia, Ayers was at Bank Street College (BSC), where he received an M.A. in Early Childhood Education -- 371 yards down the street.
BSC has no student housing, everyone lives off Campus. Columbia DOES have housing and encourages students to live on campus. However, Fox News interviewed 400 former students from his graduating class and no-one remembers him!
Presumably Obama lived off campus also.
Obama and Ayers had mutual friends. One was Edward Said, the left-wing Columbia superstar was just recently out of hiding. It is inconceivable, given their concentric politics, that they did not know each other.
Obama won't release his transcripts (actually he won't reveal any documentation from his past). Was it because it would reveal his ties to Ayers, a class in common (BSC has collaborations with Columbia), or maybe a common street address?"
2. Both Tom Ayers (the wealthy, connected chairman of Consolidated Edison of Chicago) and Bill Ayers (father and son) were interested in Obama as a possible mayor of Chicago. They brought him to Chicago to cultivate him as a future Democratic leader, and helped him with their connections.
3. Percy Sutton, a former black, Democratic, Manhattan Borough President from Harlem in NYC, wrote a letter of recommendation for Obama to Harvard Law School at the request of a prominent Muslim businessman.
Also from [Link: www.theobamafile.com...]
"But new questions have been raised about Obama’s student loans and Obama’s ties to a radical Muslim activist who reportedly was raising money for Obama’s Harvard studies during the years 1988 to 1991.
The allegations first surfaced in late March, when former Manhattan Borough president Percy Sutton told a New York cable channel that a former business partner who was "raising money" for Obama had approached him in 1988 to help Obama get into Harvard Law School.
In this video interview, Sutton says he first heard of Obama about twenty years ago from Khalid Al-Mansour, who Sutton described as advisor to "one of the world’s richest men," Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
Prince Alwaleed catapulted to fame in the United States after the September 11 attacks, when New York mayor Rudy Guiliani refused his $10 million check to help rebuild Manhattan, because the Saudi prince hinted publicly that America’s pro-Israel policies were to blame for the attacks.
Sutton knew Al-Mansour well, since the two men had been business partners and served on several corporate boards together.
As Sutton remembered, Al-Mansour was raising money for Obama’s education and seeking recommendations for him to attend Harvard Law School.
"I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him," Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter. "The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas."
Apparently, al-Mansour serves on the Board of, among others, Saudi African Bank and was responsible for the Africa investment activities of Kingdom Holdings, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal's investment company."

I think he's been focused like a laser on getting elected ever since he left the hallowed halls of academe. If you watch how waffle-y he has been on every major issue, you can see that he doesn't feel that strongly about anything but his future. So this can be not so damaging, or very..... depending on who surrounds him.
His political intelligence is remarkable, but his world view, I have a gut feeling, is quite narrow in reality. Just don't think he has the chops to take America in a radically different direction if he feels it might threaten his next four.

BO is a classic "Tabula Rasa". A blank screen onto which people can project all their hopes and dreams.
If you ask ten different Obama voters "what does Obama stand for?" you will get ten different answers. Each answer will be what the individual voter wants to hear, and virtually none of those things will be in anyway supported by anything BO has actually said.
That is why he is so popular- he can be presented as whatever people want him to be because there is no evidence to the contrary due to his lack of a significant public record.

Ha!
I have to also wonder, though, how accurate the readings are that they use.I worked in a city, and I had occasion a few years ago to go to one of our "satellite" offices which was literally in the middle of a forest. When I got there, it felt several degrees cooler than in the city - there wasn't thousands of yards of concrete soaking up and radiating heat. It was just the earth and the trees.
My yard actually feels cooler than my neighbors yard - I have a gravel driveway, not concrete, and it doesn't soak up the heat.
If whatever sensors they use to record temps are located near modern-day a/c units, or near places that have a lot of concrete around, I have to wonder how accurately those sensors are recording actual temps vs. the increased temps caused by the exhaust from the a/c units or the heat soaked in by the concrete.
Trying this one more time. God damn Java, I say!
Reine, check out Steve McIntyre's site. He has links to a large number of pictures of GISS temperature sensors that are poorly sited, sometimes laughably so. Would you believe: in paved parking lots, or next to BBQ grilles, or beside A/C condensers? Of course, they will show unusual temperatures.

It was so surprising, because, being the winter months, we'd let our "worrying" guard down a bit considering Taliban resurgencies are often done in summer.
And yet .....
Our prayers are with you. Hopefully you haven't been too spooked. You know that while it's dangerous, they are at least inflicting far more casualties than we are sustaining.
For us, however, the war is over.....

Not sure about that...Sadly, plenty of Americans have decided that the Gov't owes them Health insurance-when they are financing their 46" plasmas at about the same monthly cost as insurance, buying more house than they could afford, then taking out 2nd/3rd mortgages to finance lifestyles they can't sustain-and are now 'victims' looking for personal bail-outs.

I hesitate supporting or talking about conspiracy theories because they are almost impossible to prove and they make one look like a nut......but....the left's takeover of academia and the media and one of our two political parties has all the hallmarks of Soviet long range planning to it. They infected us with the sex, drugs and rock and roll of the 60's and then let the seeds germinate. Over time, seemingly they have and we stand on the brink of fundamentally being changed - Obama's words - from within. Something that the Soviet Army couldn't do with 500 Divisions........

Permit me to add to the voices offering condolences for your loss and admiration for a warrior of the tribe and an ally. My belief is that no offense was meant. Churchill once said that Americans and the English are two peoples separated by a common language. Our assumption that everything means what we assume is a vice that causes grief to Canadians and Australians and other friends.

If you read the article, it also said that the children was forbidden to make any comments about the out going Bush administration.

You back off. Why does JacksonTn have to give the guy a chance? Because you order him to? Please. He has just as much right to his opinion, stated his way, as you do to yours. If you want to respect a bad choice, so be it. But don't tell others who or what they should respect according to your definition.
We all "have to give the guy a chance" because he was elected as president under the Constitution of the United States of America. If you don't like the man, fine. If you think he is a bad choice, fine. I might just agree. But the Constitution of the United States says that he will be the President of the United States. I respect the Constitution. I will respect the office. If the holder of that office disrespects the Constitution all bets are off.

Do you know what Avante is? Take a look at his Avitar... he is a man who has spent at least 10 years in uniform defending his nation, and respectfully serving his POTUS.
He took an oath to follow the orders of those appointed over him. The POTUS is appointed over him.
Avante seems to be an honorable man... I believe he is, those anchors mean something.
Disagree with him if you must... but never question his honor, courage or committment to the defense of our beloved nation.
Thanks for that, but it was 20 years and the anchor does not rate me special treatment when it comes to decent. I only spoke out of reflex at comments about the POTUS. Trust me, I've done the same for GW.

Reine, check out Steve McIntyre's site. He has links to a large number of pictures of GISS temperature sensors that are poorly sited, sometimes laughably so. Would you believe: in paved parking lots, or next to BBQ grilles, or beside A/C condensers? Of course, they will show unusual temperatures.
McIntyre also found that the calculations used to produce the famous 'hockey stick' graph have a MAJOR problem. The math used produces a hockey stick no matter what, even from completely random data.
In the scientific and political debate over global warming, the latest wrong piece may be the hockey stick, the famous plot (shown below), published by University of Massachusetts geoscientist Michael MannBut it wasnt so. McIntyre and McKitrick obtained part of the program that Mann used, and they found serious problems. Not only does the program not do conventional PCA, but it handles data normalization in a way that can only be described as mistaken.
Now comes the real shocker. This improper normalization procedure tends to emphasize any data that do have the hockey stick shape, and to suppress all data that do not. To demonstrate this effect, McIntyre and McKitrick created some meaningless test data that had, on average, no trends. This method of generating random data is called Monte Carlo analysis, after the famous casino, and it is widely used in statistical analysis to test procedures. When McIntyre and McKitrick fed these random data into the Mann procedure, out popped a hockey stick shape!

I don't think BHO has a thought about what will happen to this country (which is scary, granted...)... I think he's been focused like a laser on getting elected ever since he left the hallowed halls of academe. If you watch how waffle-y he has been on every major issue, you can see that he doesn't feel that strongly about anything but his future. So this can be not so damaging, or very..... depending on who surrounds him.
His political intelligence is remarkable, but his world view, I have a gut feeling, is quite narrow in reality. Just don't think he has the chops to take America in a radically different direction if he feels it might threaten his next four.
He said we are on the verge of Fundamentally changing this country. That sounds like a committed idealogue to me........

In 1986-87 I worked as civilian attached personnel to a Marine Corp reserve tank platoon. I wasn't a Marine, but I drilled one weekend a month like everybody else. what I remember most about the UCMJ was how explicitly we were told to obey Lawful orders, and not obey Unlawful orders. There was no hard and fast rule that I recall that seperated the two. It was a judgement call by the individual.
What was made abundantly clear was that the "I was just obeying orders" line would not keep them from court-martialling you for unlawful actions. No matter who gave the order.
As AF regular enlisted, the classes were more extensive. What constitutes a legal order, the parameters of legal orders, and the recourse if one questioned orders.
