And now, a favorite poem of mine, from the 19th century. It's subtitle is, "A Battle Hymn of the Republic, set in the year 1888":

Charge your Laptop Computer with a Foot Pedal
There are two reasons why foot pedal based sewing machines are still so popular in India - first, they are relatively cheap and second, these machine are manual and can therefore work even without electricity current.
Easy Energy has applied the same logic to laptop chargers and created a foot pedal that produces enough power to charge a notebook computer or other electronic devices including cell phones and iPods.
The advantage - you no longer have to hunt for free power points at the airport and this book-sized charger will work even in jungles and other remote areas where there’s no electricity.
You can charge the laptop battery and simultaneously work on the computer as well. Best of all, this device may also help you burn some extra calories while you charge the computer. The only problem is this is currently available only for distributors but should be available soon.

Forgot the name right away. Someone who doesn't understand Charles' ID threads. They don't seem to make the connection that the ID movement in the Republican party is not a good thing. It removes all credibility for the other things we'd like to have happen. Like our safety from other fundamentalist movements.

Jimmah is trying to make peace between his terrorist friends...
WASHINGTON - Jimmy Carter is still trying his hand at peacemaking - this time among Palestinians themselves. In an interview with the Globe yesterday, Carter said he had obtained an agreement in writing from the leaders of the militant movement Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, and the moderate Fatah party, which rules in the West Bank, to form a unity government of technocrats.
"They both have some preconditions, which is not very good," the former president said. "But [Prime Minister] Salam Fayyad, representing Fatah, could form a government with Hamas in a very short time under the auspices of Saudi Arabia and Egypt."

The funny part was, there is a town named Gardenia in the region where we live, he just never noticed. My mom told him if he got good grades for the rest of the school year, we would tell him what the word meant. We would actually catch him muttering Gardenia when something pissed him off, with me threatening to tell mom and mom pulling "I better never hear you say that again". Of course, he was 11 at the time and this was before the internet.
The day we told him was one of the funniest moments in my life.

A young guy moves to Sydney and goes to a big department store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home." Well, the manager liked the kid, so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the manager came down. "How many sales did you make today?" The kid, "One." The manager, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?" The kid, "$101,237.64." The manager excitedly says, "$101,237.64? What the hell did you sell him!?"
The kid, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing, and he said down at the coast, so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department, and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4 wheel drive Jeep." The manager, "You mean a guy came in here to buy a fishhook and you sold him a boat and truck?!"
The kid, "No, no, no, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife, and I said, "Well, since your weekend's fucked you might as well go fishing!"

A man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket, and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent that the boy ask his manager about the matter.
Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager, "Some asshole wants to buy half a head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "And this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half."
The manager approved the deal, and the man went on his way.
Later the manager said to the boy, "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who think on their feet here."
"Where are you from, son?"
"Texas, sir," the boy replied.
"Well, why did you leave Texas?" the manager asked.
The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but whores and football players down there."
"Really?" said the manager. "My wife is from Texas."

all over the place. I read an account of one soldier who was given
a huge number stens/brens/303s and associated ammo and told to go henceforth and bury them ( farms,barns etc ) - the interesting

Three guys were sitting in a biker bar. This man came in, he was already drunk, sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. The man looked around and saw the 3 men sitting at a corner table.
He got up, staggered to the table, leaned over, looked the biggest one in the face and said, "I went by your grandma's house and I saw her in the hallway, buck naked. Man, she is fine!"
The biker looked at him and didn't say a word. His buddies were confused, because he was a bad ass, and would fight at he drop of a hat.
The drunk leaned on the table again and said, "I got it on with your grandma and she is good, the best I ever had!" The biker still said nothing. His buddies were starting to get mad.
The drunk leaned on the table again and said, "I'll tell you something else boy, your grandma liked it!"
The biker stood up, took the drunk by the shoulder and said, "Damn it, grandpa, you're drunk. Go home!"

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.
The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm.
Upon his return to his office after mass, he found the following note on the door:
1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J. C.
7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.
9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me"
12. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry,"
13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, yeah God.
14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's

M-must... resist... temptation... to Google for "Archie/Reggie slash fanfic"
(We know that Archie was at least bi-curious, so hey, it could happen...)
P.S. Okay, I could see Veronica Lodge as being secretly a Bondage & Discipline gal, like Page -- but Betty Cooper was just not sultry. (And she never had the peek-a-boo bangs, either -- so the only thing she really had in common with Lake was being blonde.)

RUSSIAN OIL SPILLS AMOUNT TO AN ESTIMATED 20 PERCENT OF THEIR PRODUCTION
Photo caption by M Francis, on December 26, 2007:
"This is one of the thousands of oil spills that are never cleaned up across the Former Soviet Union (FSU), from here to Azabaijan. It is estimated that 20% of produced oil is on the ground not in the pipeline. Sensitive eco-systems like this will never repair, corruption and the fact that very few people from the west get to visit these areas allows this wholesale distruction to continue. Dont think of world bank help, it was tried for an oil spill close to here and the mafia took most of the money. This photo was taken 1 year after the money had gone."
Here are the Google Earth latitude/longitude coordinates of where the pictured spill is located (in Decimal Degrees):
66.323257, 57.234716
(Copy/paste the above line into Google Earth's "Where To" box, and press Enter)
That area of Russia is reported to have approx. 200 oil spills each year.

Maybe this story will at least cheer you up.
Dolphins are just frikkin' incredible
Calimari comin' up!
The scientists observed a wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin repeatedly performing a complex set of manoeuvres in the Spencer Gulf off South Australia. First, on spotting her prey, the female flushed a cuttlefish out of the dense weeds where they generally hide, into an open area with clear visibility. Adopting a vertical pose, head down and tail up, she pinned it to the sandy sea floor with her snout.
With a flick of her powerful tail, the dolphin then killed the fish with a rapid downward thrust that broke the cuttlebone. Divers who were watching heard a "loud click" as the bone snapped, the research team reported in the online science and medical journal PLoS ONE.
Next, the dolphin expelled the toxic black ink that cuttlefish squirt at predators when attacked, lifting the dead fish high in the water and repeatedly whacking it with her snout to release thick clouds of ink. Finally, it was time to get rid of the large, hard bone. The dolphin dived back down to the sea floor, where she scraped the fish along the sand, stripping off the skin until the bone popped out. And hey presto: an appetising morsel akin to calamari was ready to be tucked into.

Sarko is acting Fwench again.........
To jeer President Nicolas Sarkozy has become a serious offence, punishable by the sacking of any official who allows the boos to reach the presidential ears. The police chief and the most senior national government official in the Manche département (county) of lower Normandy have been fired in successive days, to the fury of local politicians, including members of M. Sarkozy's own party.
The officials' offence was to fail to shield the President from the boos and whistles of protesters when he made a speech in the town of Saint-Lô earlier this month.

re: #370 littleoldlady
Check all connections. make sure you have fully inserted them and that they are in the right places. the kybd and mouse may have similar plugs.
If xp boot into safe mode. if success then check mouse and kybd drivers. (hold down f8 on restart before sign in screen I believe). do a shutdown or restart. sometimes a shutdown and then turn back on after 15 seconds can clear up glitches it will also allow you to access your bios setup screen to check if the hardware is working at that level.
If I was a betting man, you'll find the wires aren't connected properly. I have worked as electronic troubleshooter and done same with computers and the number one most common error is failing to connect 1 or more wires correctly. (even the power plug gets forgotten)
If you have xp op sys and can obviously get on web, write down the exact error messages/information boxes and plug into google to see if an answer exists. If you have more info, I might be able to offer more help.

for what it's worth; I believe the republicans are wrong to vote against the stimulus. This allows the dems to point and say it's their fault when things go bad. the republicans should take a page out of the o's book and just vote present and make it clear they won't stand in the way. NOW is not the time for these idiots to grow a pair! Where were they when w was giving away the keys to the treasury. NOOOO they had NO problems with THAT fiscal irresponsibility.
disclosure: I have been unemployed since sept 07 (company closed) and only part time employed since mar 08. have had to reg for SocSec early cause I was running out of money.

Yes, your observation that sometimes those who supposedly (according to some people) are your enemy are not really that bad... and sometimes your supposed allies really don't give a damn about you.
I am still quite convinced though that if the politicians in DC really wanted to stimulate the economy for 2009 (and not a few years out) then immediate personal and corporate tax cuts would be better than spending binges on pet projects.
I'm all for energy (and environment) investments and plans... but those are for mid-term and long-term economic health. What we need today is money in the hands of individuals and companies which hire people.

did it stop suddenly or just worsen? resets can be tricky in their timing especially in conjunction with a reboot/restart. mice are mostly solid state and thus dropping them doesn't usually hurt them. me I always buy 2 so when one inevitably dies I just change them out cause sometimes it's like a "ghost in the machine" things don't work but no reason can be found.

Obama's half brother arrested on charge of marijuana possession
Gotta love CNN:
George Obama and the president barely know each other, though they have met before. George Obama was one of the president's few close relatives who did not go to the inauguration in Washington last week.
In his memoir, "Dreams from My Father," Barack Obama describes meeting George as a "painful affair." Barack Obama's trip to Kenya meant meeting family he had never known.

Shoe-throwing monument dismantled 24 hours after being erected
A huge bronze sculpture dedicated to the shoe attack on former U.S. President George Bush by an Iraqi journalist has been dismantled within just one day of being constructed.
The monument in the grounds of an orphanage in Saddam Hussein's hometown was taken down on the order of local authorities in Tikrit, Iraq. Officials say children should be kept away from political-related issues.

And just how is this bloated pork bill going to help you personally?
Who the EFF knows What's in there? They don't and I don't and I'm guessing You don't. I was just pointing out that my opinion about fiscal matters is suspect due to the circumstances.
I'm pretty sure that most people see the repubs vote against the stimulus as a negative thing (regardless of the truth of the matter) and I believe it would be best that the repubs should just step aside NOW and let the dems hang themselves. Yes it's a shitty situation, but the repubs put themselves in it and trying to stop the dems is futile RIGHT NOW. You know, "pick your battles". Fighting this is a losing proposition. Why is this a problem? Only a few months ago, folks like me who KNEW McCain was a bad candidate were constantly told that we had to hold our nose and not act on principle. NOW it's important that the repubs stand their ground in the face of a tidal wave of public opinion?
BTW: Steele is NOT a good pick. This guy was a democrat raised by democrats. I don't buy his "conservative" label. It also looks like a concession to the win by Obama. I.E. "Oh the dems picked a black man to lead the party/country so we have to also to be relevant. I've also seen some say that since Obama is black the repubs have to have a black man to run against him.

Not to jump in without following your entire exchange, but I don't think the point is: "NOW it's important that the repubs stand their ground in the face of a tidal wave of public opinion?"
First, my understanding is that the percentage of those polled who support it numbers in the forties...not really a "tidal wave". I think the reason it's important for the Republicans to stand against it in a united front is so that they can't have the issue used against them in the next election when this particular pig doesn't fly. It's more strategy than anything else. They want the Democrats to own this completely.

If you think for one minute the dems and the media (but I repeat myself) will not be trumpeting "the stubborness of the republican party and their refusal to help pass the stimulus so desperately needed by the women and children of the middle class allowed the economic free-fall to deepen"
when the next election cycle begins, then "you've been living in a dream world NEO". I said vote present. LET THE DEMOCRATS OWN THIS. It's the only way they'll get discredited under the current atmosphere in the country.

To take a principled stand now will only allow the repubs enemy's to point the finger-of-blame at them when convenient. Further obstinacy will only alienate more and more of the so-called moderates everyone in the repub party was so eager to court during the election.

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.
However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks.
The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!
One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?"
"My darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."

A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office.
After his checkup, the doctor called the wife into his office alone. He said, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe stress disorder. If you don't follow my instructions carefully, your husband will surely die.
"Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant at all times. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him.
"Don't burden him with chores. Don't discuss your problems with him; it will only make his stress worse. Do not nag him. Most importantly, make love to him regularly.
"If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely."
On the way home, the husband asked his wife, "What did the doctor say?"
"He said you're going to die," she replied.

A group of girlfriends is on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads, "For Women Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.
The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."
They start going up and on the first floor the sign reads, "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.
The sign on the second floor reads, "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.
They reach the third floor and the sign reads, "All the men here are tall and plain." They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continue on up.
On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect. "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are about to go in when they realize that there is still one floor left.
Wondering what they would be missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.
On the fifth floor they find a sign that reads, "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."

When he was slipping in and out of a coma for several months, she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.
As she sat by him, he said, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times.
"When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side.
"You know what?"

The woman, hard of hearing, turned to her husband and asked, "What did he say?"
The old man yelled, "He says you were speeding!"
The patrolman said, "May I see your license?"
The woman turned to her husband once again and asked, "What did he say?"
The old man yelled, "He wants to see your license!"
The woman gave the officer her license. The patrolman then said, "I see you are from Arkansas. I spent some time there once and went on a blind date with the ugliest woman I've ever seen."
The woman turned to her husband and asked, "What did he say?"
The old man yells, "He said he thinks he knows you!".

A fellow bought a new Mercedes and was out on an interstate road for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through his hair and he decided to open her up. As the needle jumped up to 80mph, he suddenly saw a flashing red and blue light behind him.
"There ain't no way they can catch a Mercedes," he thought to himself, and opened her up further.
The needle hit 90, 100 110 and finally 120 with the lights still behind him.
"What on earth am I doing?" he thought and pulled over. The cop came up to him, took his licence without a word and examined it and the car.
"I've had a tough shift and this is my last pull over. I dont feel like more paperwork so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I havent heard before you can go!"
"Last week my wife ran off with a cop," the man said, "and I was afraid you were trying to give her back!"
"Have a nice night," said the officer.

A wife and her husband were having a dinner party for all the major status figures in Rome, Italy.
The wife was very excited about this and wanted everything to be perfect. At the very last minute, she realized that she didn't have any snails for this dinner party, so she asked her husband to run down to the beach with the bucket she was handing him to gather some snails. Very grudgingly he agreed.
He took the bucket, walked out the door, down the steps, and out to the beach. As he was collecting the snails, he noticed a beautiful woman walking alongside the water just a little further down the beach. He kept thinking to himself "Wouldn't it be great if she would even just come down and talk to me." He went back to gathering the snails.
All of a sudden he looked up, and the beautiful woman was standing right over him. They got to talking, and she invited him back to her place.
They were at her apartment a ways down the beach, and they started messing around. It got so hot and heavy, that he was exhausted afterwards and passed out there.
At seven o'clock the next morning he woke up and exclaimed, "Oh no! My wife's dinner party!"
He gathered all his clothes, put them on really quickly, grabbed his bucket, and ran out the door.
He ran down the beach all the way to his apartment. He ran up the stairs of his apartment. He was in such a hurry that when he got to the top of the stairs, he dropped the bucket of snails.
There were snails all down the stairs. The door opened just then, with a very angry wife standing in the door way wondering where he's been all this time.
He looked at the snails on the steps, then he looked at her, then back at the snails and said - "Come on guys, we're almost there!"

A husband and wife are getting all snugly in bed. The passion is heating up. But then the wife stops and says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." The husband says "WHAT?"
The wife explains that he must be in tune with her emotional needs as a Woman. The husband realizes that nothing is going to happen that night and he might as well deal with it.
So the next day the husband takes her shopping at a big department store. He walks around and has her try on three very expensive outfits.
She can't decide. He tells his wife to take all three of them. Then they go over and get matching shoes worth $200 each. And then they go to the Jewellery Department where she gets a set of diamond earrings. The wife is so excited. She thinks her husband has flipped out - but she does not care.
She goes for the tennis bracelet. The husband says, "But you don't even play tennis! Well, OK if you like it then let's get it."
The wife is jumping up and down so excited she cannot even believe what is going on. She says, "I am ready to go, let's go to the cash register." The husband stops and says, "No, honey I don't feel like buying all this stuff now." The wife's face goes blank. "No honey - I just want you to hold this stuff for a while."
The look on her face is indescribable and she is about to explode and the husband says, "You must be in tune with my financial needs as a Man."

re: #456 jcw46
They don't believe in standing up for the principles THEY HAVE DECLARED? Why should I continue to support them in their mendacity and fecklessness? At least with the dems, you know what you're going to get.
I have lived in, and around 'The Beltway' my entire life. My entire family for the most part are yellow dog Democrats and have been apparently since the 19th century.
I look around me and basically everyone is a Democrat; some true believers and some die hard loyalists. It is irrelevant as they all march to the beat of the same drum.
Everyone in practically every government agency, every government subsidized organization, every bureaucratic post are Democrats. There might be a Republican here and there, but even then most of them are 'Mavericks' that could just as easily be Dems and no one would think they stand out in that party.
Even further out, Public Education, State and Community colleges, Ivy League (even top tier universities in the UK) are essentially Democrat, that being far-left. The curriculum is basically uniform. This of course applies doubly so to Journalism. The leaders of every generation, in addition to coming from upper and upper-middle class that is overwhelmingly leftist to start with, will have to go through 16+ years of indoctrination that tells them that the way things are right now is a result of past conflicts in which good has triumphed over evil.
Essentially every 'right-winger' or Republican leader that comes out of this establishment is only going to see the 'Progressive' changes in their lifetime as detrimental, or wrong. Republicans are what Democrats were a generation ago, and that pattern will likely continue in the future. Most Republican pols are just populist socialists (can anyone seriously tell the difference between Lyndon Johnson's politics and Bobby Jindal's?); they simply disagree with how much socialism is just right to fix our problems (which they along with the Democrats, created in the first place).
Washington DC is made for Democrats from top to bottom. Democrats staff everything, for the most party have absolute job security, and answer to no one but their fellow Dems. The entire bloated civil service, welfare government that we run is locked into running for perpetuity and the power to actually break the cycle has been essentially driven out of the system. Republicans, as things stand now, basically can only pursue a policy of breaking Washington and stopping it from functioning as designed (by obstructing the flow of funds, but not entirely stopping it).
Unless Republicans are willing to pursue an agenda that seeks to fundamentally alter Washington with the same scope that was seen under US Grant or FDR in previous generations they really don't have any place in government except to be Democrat-lite; keeping Dem seats warm until they get back in office. Of course both Grant and FDR had the entire Liberal establishment on their side, which is something no Republican in the near future will.

One night, this guy is invited out for a night with the guys. He promised his live-in girlfriend that he would be home by midnight. Well, the hours passed and the beer was going down smooth, and before he knew it, it was 2:30 a.m. Drunk as a skunk, he headed for home.
Just as he got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times.
Quickly, he realized that she'd probably wake up, so he was quite proud of himself when he thought to cuckoo nine more times. Even in his drunken haze, he fell asleep smiling about how he had escaped a possible conflict.
The next morning, his girlfriend asked him what time he got in, and he replied, "Twelve." She didn't seem disturbed at all, which made the guy feel even better.
She then told him that they needed a new cuckoo clock.
"Why is that?" he asked.
"Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, said "Oh, crap," cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then farted."

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town, and on this special occasion, a local newspaper reporter paid them a visit. He inquired as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.
"Well," explained the husband, "it all goes back to our honeymoon. We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon by pack mule."
"We hadn't gone too far when my wife's mule stumbled. My wife quietly said 'That's once.' We proceeded a little farther when the mule stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly spoke: 'That's twice.' We hadn't gone a half-mile when the mule stumbled a third time. My wife promptly removed a revolver from her purse, hopped down off the beast, and shot the mule dead."
"I started to protest over her treatment of the mule when she looked at me and quietly said, 'That's once.'"

On a Trans-Atlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning.
One woman in particular loses it. Screaming,she stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die!" she wails. Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! No one has ever made me really feel like a woman! Well I've had it! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?"
For a moment there is silence. everyone has forgotten their own peril, and they all stare, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then, a man stands up in the rear of the plane. "I can make you feel like a woman," he says. This tall, tanned and built guy with jet black eyes starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time.
No one moves. As this man approaches, the woman begins to get excited. He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest as he reaches her, and extends the arm holding his shirt to the trembling woman, and whispers: "Iron this."

There were 11 people hanging on to a single rope that suspended them from a helicopter trying to bring them to safety. Ten were men; one was a woman.
They all decided that one person would have to let go because if they didn't, the rope would break and all of them would die.
No one could decide who it should be. Finally the woman gave a really touching speech, saying how she would give up her life to save the others, because women were used to giving things up for their husbands and children and giving in to men.
All of the men started clapping.

re: #497 SurferDoc
Democrats can own the porkfest all on their lonesome. They don't need GOP votes to make it happen. They do need GOP votes to get cover when things don't work out as planned. The GOP shouldn't oblige them as they did on the original TARP legislation, that ended up passing because the Democrats larded up that mess with pork. That's the solution to the mess to secure votes; pork it up.
Here's my advice to the GOP. You want to show that you're fiscally responsible? Here's how to do it.
Demand that the stimulus bill drop all spending that doesn't come within the fiscal year that ends in October. If the spending occurs in 2010, 2011, or 2012 or beyond, it gets dropped. If it isn't directly on infrastructure improvements, it gets dropped.
You want to see how quickly the $825 billion ($1.1 trillion once interest and added costs are figured in) drops to something in the range of $80 billion?
The Democrats got their wish list out and they're demanding that the GOP go along with it. Why? Out of bipartisanship? Hardly. There's nothing bipartisan about it. It is a laundry list of out of control government spending that will not assist in economic recovery, and it's not even likely that that spending occuring during the current year will bring about the end of the recession; lowering taxes and providing incentives for businesses to grow will spur the economy into a recovery. Government spending will retard and delay the recovery. History has shown this to be the case, and yet the Democrats want to use the opportunity to expand government into areas that it has repeatedly shown itself to be wanting - health care in particular.
Enough is enough.

A driver is pulled over by a policeman. The police man approaches the driver's door.
"Is there a problem Officer?"
The policeman says, "Sir, you were speeding. Can I see your licence please?"
The driver responds, "I'd give it to you but I don't have one."
"You don't have one?"
The man responds, "I lost it four times for drink driving."
The policeman is shocked. "I see. Can I see your vehicle registration papers please?"
"I'm sorry, I can't do that."
The policeman says, "Why not?"
"I stole this car."
The officer says, "Stole it?"
The man says, "Yes, and I killed the owner."
At this point the officer is getting irate. "You what!?"
"She's in the boot if you want to see."
The Officer looks at the man and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes, five police cars show up, surrounding the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
The senior officer says "Sir, could you step out of your vehicle please!"
The man steps out of his vehicle. "Is there a problem sir?"
"One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner."
"Murdered the owner?"
The officer responds, "Yes, could you please open the boot of your car please?"
The man opens the boot, revealing nothing but an empty boot.
The officer says, "Is this your car sir?"
The man says "Yes," and hands over the registration papers.
The officer, understandably, is quite stunned. "One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving licence."
The man digs in his pocket revealing a wallet and hands it to the officer. The officer opens the wallet and examines the licence. He looks quite puzzled. "Thank you sir, one of my officers told me you didn't have a licence, stole this car, and murdered the owner."
The man replies, "I bet you the lying bastard told you I was speeding, too!"

I'm off to rectify that today... heading out to the local nature center where they have some nicely groomed ski trails that run through the woods and up along the beach dunes. Packing up coffee and sandwiches as I write this.

It's sorta funny, Sen. McCain was on Fox and Friends yesterday and said he would NOT be voting for this "stimulus" package because, among other things, it was about 80% Pork and 20% Stimulus for the economy.
That's sorta in line with what your pecentages are.
You know, you might be well advised to send a copy of that comment - expand on it if you want to - to Senator McCain and to the Senate minority leader.
Seriously.
Thanks for a GREAT comment.

Only in America could they take $5000 from us in taxes / added debt (which also = future taxes, for the benefit of Democrats), spend 20% of it on government bureaucracy to administer it, 15% of it slips through the cracks, 30% is spent on complete and total bullshit, 20% of it comes back to us as a "tax cut", and 15% actually gets spent on things that might create real jobs - wrap that all up and call it a "stimulus" to the economy.....
Yet, questioning the Great Obama Diety is VERBOTEN

re: #546 Irish Rose
Good morning, lizards.
Was doing the laundry last night when my eyes fell on my old set of cross country skis, propped up in the basement corner. I've been feeling very keyed-up, anxious and confined as of late, and I realize that I have been away from the quiet, fragrant solitude of the woods for far too long.
I'm off to rectify that today... heading out to the local nature center where they have some nicely groomed ski trails that run through the woods and up along the beach dunes. Packing up coffee and sandwiches as I write this.
Wishing you all a very pleasant day.
Enjoy and I hope your bones stay in one piece.

re: #548 HoosierHoops
We went to dinner and a movie last night...saw Gran Torino..Everybody raves about the movie but i give it only 3 stars..
Clint's acting was just over the top in just about every scene..Yes we get it you are a bitter old war vet..but jeez show a little depth in the character.
The gang members were always so over the top it was almost a cartoon characterization of themselves...Many scenes seemed forced.
And there should be a international law that states no one..and I mean no one should be able to direct themselves in a movie...20 to life if ya try it..
It had some laugh out moments.. a few...
It's like Clint took his character from the Million dollar Baby and said let's crank this guy up to 11. GrRRrrrr..I'm mean..Grrrrrrr..
Thanks for personal review. I will put viewing it on the back burner for a couple of months.

Good morning! I actually think we ought to increase the amount we pay our troops by about 20% and add another 100-150 thousand more troops, but SO FAR I think the cuts he's proposing are for in-development products - and you know, the Pentagon may be the MOST wasteful spender in the government.
But he'd best not cut the production of the F-22 Raptors.

A couple had two little boys ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons would get the blame.
The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed, and asked to see them individually. So, the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.
The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"
They boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open. The clergyman repeated the question. "Where is God?" Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice some more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "Where is God!?"
The boy screamed and bolted from the room. He ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in big trouble this time! God is missing and they think we did it!"

On a plane bound for New York the flight attendant approached a blonde sitting in the first class section and requested that she move to the coach section since she did not have a first class ticket.
The blonde replied, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to New York, and I'm not moving."
Not wanting to argue with a customer, the flight attendant asked the co-pilot to speak with her. He went to talk with the woman asking her to please move out of the first class section. Again, the blonde replied, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to New York, and I'm not moving."
The co-pilot returned to the cockpit and asked the captain what he should do. The captain said, "I'm married to a blonde, and I know how to handle this."
He went to the first class section and whispered in the blonde's ear. She immediately jumped up and ran to the coach section mumbling to herself, "Why didn't anyone just say so."
Surprised, the flight attendant and the co-pilot asked what he said to her that finally convinced her to move from her seat.
The pilot replied, "I told her the first class section wasn't going to New York."

An English teacher was explaining to his students the concept of gender association in the English language.
He stated how hurricanes at one time were given feminine names and how ships and planes were usually referred to as "she". One of the students raised their hand and asked "What gender is a computer"?
The teacher wasn't certain which it was, so he divided the class into two groups, males in one, females in the other, and asked them to decide if a computer should be masculine or feminine. Both groups were asked to give four reasons for their recommendation. The group of women concluded that computers should be referred to in the masculine gender, for the following reasons:
1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless.
3. They are supposed to help you solve your problems, but half the time they cause the problem.
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a better model.
The men, on the other hand, decided that computers should definitely be referred to in the feminine gender for the following reasons:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

A farmer from Texas goes to Australia on vacation. There he meets an Australian farmer and gets talking. The Australian shows off his big wheat field and the Texan says, "Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice that size!"
The Australian is annoyed at the Texan but doesn't say anything. They walk around the farm a little, and the Australian farmer shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately replies, "We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows."
The conversation has died down when the Texan sees some kangaroos hopping through the field. He asks the Aussie, "What are those?"
The Australian replies with an incredulous look, "Don't you have any grasshoppers in Texas?"

At HotAir: A 10% cut at the Pentagon?
posted at 9:42 am on January 31, 2009 by Ed MorrisseyWhile the Obama administration tries pushing through its trillion-dollar porkfest of Mall resodding and Medicare expansion, the Pentagon has gotten a much different mission from the White House. President Obama has demanded a 10% reduction in the defense budget for FY2010, even while we fight a war in Afghanistan and conduct counterterrorist operations around the world:
The Obama administration has asked the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon’s budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent — about $55 billion — a senior U.S. defense official tells FOX News.
Last year’s defense budget was $512 billion. Service chiefs and planners will be spending the weekend “burning the midnight oil” looking at ways to cut the budget — looking especially at weapons programs, the defense official said.

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say, "Jesus is watching you!"
Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again.
"Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again.
The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot.
He asked the parrot, "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?"
"Yes," said the parrot.
The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot, "What's your name?"
"Clarence," said the bird.
"That's a stupid name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot would name a parrot Clarence?"
The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiller Jesus."

Well, when the small trucks are removed from the farms and there is no more small vendor markets because of this, people are going to find out real quick how it gets to their table.
Do you put in a garden Reine?
Many families in our area are breaking ground for the first time this year due to the economic inflation.
We have gotten requests for ground tillage from two of our neighbors who want to grow their own vegetables. They both called them their victory gardens. I said 'victory' for who this time around?
Right now we've got four kids in the house. We can have up to 7, 3 of our own and 4 foster kids. (Any more than 5 is too much).
If government gets it's way what do I buy that can transport up to 9 people plus associated gear that goes with small kids?

Good Morning Lizard Nation.....
A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redheadsittingat the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her.
Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man. He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.
'Oh my, I am so sorry,' the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.
'Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you,' she says.
They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theatre followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and
he shares his. She listens.
After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They had a wonderful, wonderful time.
The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed. Everything had been SO incredible!
'You know,' he said, 'you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?'
'No,' she replies. . .
'You just happened to catch my eye.'

A couple was going out for the evening to celebrate the wife's birthday. While they were getting ready, the husband put the cat out.
The taxi arrived, and as the couple walked out of their home, the cat shot back into the house.
Not wanting their cat to have free run of the house while they were out, the husband went back upstairs to chase the cat out.
The wife, not wanting it known that the house would be empty, explained to the taxi driver, "He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother."
A few minutes later, the husband got into the car, and said, "Sorry I took so long" he says, "Stupid old thing was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!"

On reaching his plane seat, a man is surprised to see a parrot strapped in next to him. He asks the stewardess for a coffee where upon the parrot squawks, "And get me a whisky you stupid cow."
The stewardess, flustered, brings back a whisky for the parrot and forgets all about the coffee. When this omission is pointed out to her, the parrot drains its glass and squarks, "And get me another whisky you airhead."
Quite upset, the poor girl comes back shaking with another whisky but still no coffee.
Unaccustomed to such slackness, the man tries the parrot's approach, "I've asked you twice for a coffee. Go and get it now you stupid idiot."
Next moment, both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards.
As they plunge downwards, the parrot turns to the man and says, "For someone who can't fly, you've sure got an attitude."

Although you could certainly read it that way, I'm not sure that is what he meant. I'm almost certain he was referring to the bonuses specifically. At least on this one, I'd have to agree with The One. If companies are holding out their hands for bailouts, and then turning around and rewarding their own failure after receiving one, it makes me skeptical that they aren't just robbing their successful, taxpaying competitors (and millions of other Americans) that didn't get a handout at all.

Springsteen calls Wal-Mart deal a mistake
01/31/2009 12:51 AM, AP
The Associated PressThe Boss is owning up to a mistake.
In an interview with The New York Times, Bruce Springsteen says he shouldn't have made a deal with Wal-Mart. This month, the store started exclusively selling a Springsteen greatest-hits CD.
Some fans were critical because Springsteen has been a longtime supporter of worker's rights, and Wal-Mart has faced criticism for its labor practices. Springsteen's team didn't vet the issue as closely as it should have, and that he "dropped the ball on it," he told the Times for a story to be published in Sunday editions and previewed on its Web site.
Springsteen went on to say: "It was a mistake. Our batting average is usually very good, but we missed that one. Fans will call you on that stuff, as it should be."

Buddy had flipped a coin with Waylon Jennings to see who'd get to fly in that itty bitty plane and Buddy won the toss, and we lost the music.
I thought Richie Valens flipped with Waylon? Buddy was going anyway, since he hired the plane?
Doesn't matter who "won" the toss, a lot of musical talent went down that night.

He made Citibank give back a jet they had ordered before gov bailouts. Now what happens to the company that built that jet?
Not only that, what happoens to the MILLIONS Citibank put down as a deposit for the jet? Does Citibank forfiet it? Will the company that built the jet be forced to give the millions back to the gov't?
This is typical liberalism. On the surface, it's a "feel good" policy
(" That company is wasting money that could have been used to hire another janitor"). But in truth it's the law of unintended consequesnces
The jet was bought before the bailout.
The jet was bought with a private contract.
It is none of anybodies business other than shareholders, board members and the companies.
Businessmen better pull their heads out of their collective asses and realize the bailout comes with a price.
They lose their business. Oh, their name still may be on the door, but it will be Barney Frank and Maxine Waters making the decisions.

A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink. "Why of course," comes the reply.
The first man then asks, "Where are you from?"
"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.
The first man responds, "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."
"Of course," replies the second man.
"I'm curious," the first man then asks, "Where in Ireland are you from?"
"Dublin," comes the reply.
"I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin."
"Of course," replies the second man.
Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks, "What school did you go to?"
"Saint Mary's," replies the second man, "I graduated in '62."
"This is unbelievable!", the first man says. "I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62, too!"
About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender.
"Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Kinly twins are drunk again."

It's the same thing with the bonuses. Obama professes outrage over Wall Street handing out billions in bonuses, but ignores that those billions get spent in the NYC metro region, pumping billions into the local economy. It's a huge stimulus package.
That's lost revenue that the City and state have to make up. The reason that the City and State are frakked is because they don't have the Wall Street income to rely upon, so they're instead considering raising all manner of tax and fee to balance the out of control spending.

Someone here on LGF mentioned that Citi already had two jets; but that the new one was more fuel efficent. Their plan was to sell the other two. Profits from the sale *could* have covered the cost on the new plane, and they would be doing their part to protect the environment and reduce their carbon footprint and save the Mongolian Honeybee and whatever else is popular with the tree huggers these days.

Here is a true story:
A couple of years ago, my niece spent some time in Italy, and while there, did some shopping in Milan, and she bought a beautiful gold & black brocade coat. It was beautiful, and beautifully made (something I notice since I sew).
A year later, daughter and I were in Wal-Mart, and she said 'Mom, isn't that the coat?". I immediately thought no, it couldn't be, then I walked over to it and looked at it inside and out, and it was indeed the exact same coat, same buttons, same fabric, same beautiful construction - on sale for $12.
$12!
I bought 2 - one for me, one for my Mom.

An old cowboy dressed to kill with a cowboy shirt, hat, jeans, spurs and chaps went to a bar and ordered a drink.
As he sat there sipping his whiskey, a young lady sat down next to him. After she ordered her drink she turned to the cowboy and asked him, "Are you a real cowboy?"
The cowboy replied, "Well, I have spent my whole life on the ranch, herding cows, breaking horses, mending fences, I guess I am." After a short while he asked her what she was.
She replied, "I've never been on a ranch so I'm not a cowboy, but I am a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning I think of women, when I eat, work, watch TV, everything seems to make me think of women."
A short while later she left and the cowboy ordered another drink.
A couple sat down next to him and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"
He replied, "I always thought I was, but I just found out that I'm probably a lesbian."

Obama is confused about who builds jets - it's not CEO's, it's not the rich. Obama's education is economically retarded - of maybe he knows exactly what he is doing.
Remember when the press asked Pres. Bush if he was going to tell people to cut back on their driving when gas prices were high. Pres Bush replied:
Look, I'm not going to tell people how to drive. They can make those decisions for themselves.

Dogs are so blatant about it!
Big Dog once, at a picknick, snatched a nearly whole chorizo out of my husband's hand - well, he did inadvertently hold it close to Big Dog's mouth while pointing something out to me ...
Husband was more concerned about would Big Dog become sick from all the spices in that sausage than about the act of stealing itself, though.

A friend of mine runs a homeless shelter in Louisville. They have no power; everyone is crammed into three building that have generators. She has power at home but a few friends does not, so she's taken them in for the duration. Three people, two dogs, a cat and a bird have been added to the mix (her "Ingredients" are her, hubby, and two dogs.) The people are surviving and the animals have declared an uneasy truce.
Same thing happened in Mississippi after Katrina. Churches and neighbors took in the newly homeless without a seconds hesitation.
I'm sure the same thing happened in Alabama. I know this about Mississippi because a lot of my family lives there and that's how we got our news and pictures.

re: #781 Iron Fist
S&W make several .40 automatics, so I can't guess at the part number :-) I've never much liked the .40 round. My dad has one (Firestar), and they shoot well, but I don't really see the need for a round in between the 9mm and .45 ACP, although a lot of companies have tried to do just that. .40, 10mm, .357 Sig, and there's a relatively new one out, the .45 GAP. It's a Glock specific round with the same bullet that you'd fire from a .45, but with a somewhat shorter case. The only reason I can see to go with that round is that Robar offers a stainless steel frame for it. I've never really been comfortable with the polymer frames that damn near everybody makes these days.
I've got two .40s, a Sig and a compact S&W. What sold me was it handles about like a 9mm but the terminal ballistics are closer to the .45.
That said, what anyone gets is individual preference and what works. We can argue handling and terminal ballistics all day.

I really resent that the "O" thinks he's now CEO of the country/ world. Or that he now has veto power in coorporations.
He totally ignored the fact that the new jet was ordered in 2005. He ignored the fact it would be more cost effective and fuel efficient. He totally ignored the fact the company was downsizing from two old jets to the one new one. He totally ignored the fact the company planned to sell the old jets to offset the cost of the new one - therefore rendering it an even exchange.

You are very right about that. I work in Land Surveying, and odten find myself coming across nice stone walls in the middle of forested areas. I can assure you that no one builds stone walls in the woods. Those walls were built by farmers on the edges of their nicely cleared fields. Once the farmers stopped caring for the land the woods just came right back. Even paved parking lots that are not cared for end up with trees growing right in the middle of them. The Earth will be here and healthy long after we have come and gone.

Obama: “I Don’t Care About White People”
Posted by Harvey on January 31, 2009 at 7:00 am
WASHINGTON (AP) - While hundreds of thousands of people in Kentucky go without heat or electricity due to this week’s ice storm, President Barack Obama explained his indifference to the weather-related tragedy by saying “I’ve been kinda busy this week, and besides, I don’t care about white people, anyway.”
“Well, if you’re cold, just turn up the damn thermostat, you stupid cracker!.”
After the vicious winter storm swept through the state, more than half a million people Kentuckians were left shivering in the dark. “We’ve got lots of counties that do not have any communication, any heat, any power,” Steve Beshear, the state’s governor, said Wednesday.
“I can’t believe they’re closing down the state because of what, some ice?” said Obama incredulously. “When it comes to the weather, those inbred honkies don’t seem to be able to handle things. Too bad they don’t have my flinty Chicago toughness. It’s even more too bad that Kentucky used to be a slave state. I guess being afflicted by all those white-devil snow flakes is simply God’s justice.”
So far, 24 deaths have officially been blamed on the storm. That toll is expected to rise over the next few weeks, since damage was so widespread that repair crews don’t anticipate complete restoration of services until mid-February. Emergency officials said that utility workers were doing everything they could, but that there simply were too many felled lines, especially in remote areas of the state, to move any faster.
“I’d really love to help out,” said Obama, absent-mindedly scratching his face with his middle finger, “but I’ve got my hands full trying to push my stimulus package past those Pigmently-Challenged partisan hack Republicans in the Senate. Speaking of Republicans, did you know I only got 40% of the vote in yonder red state? And NOW they want me to make them a priority? I guess hillbillies really are as dumb as everyone says.”

I just read Roger Ebert's "analysis" of the Rod Blagojevich story.
"The courts will decide if he tried to sell a Senate seat..."
Her really carves him up with this: "He affects a hairstyle appropriate for a British boy band in the 1960s, not for an adult, a governor."
...then apologizes: "I have never before written so unkindly about anyone..."
...well, unless you were talking about Republicans, Ebert.
Don't know if Blagojevich is a Republican or Democrat. Ebert didn't say.
Ebert reminds me of the former All-Star who hit .220 with 8 HRs last year. There really isn't much useful information in his columns.

Has everyone seen the reports about the PETA commercials that NBC won't air during the Superbowl? I have a theory about that. Let's think it through.
PETA intended to pay astronomical amounts of money to advertise during the Superbowl. Not exactly their target audience, would you agree?
NBC, the most liberal network out there, says "No, we won't show these commercials because they are too sexually overt.", then proceeds to show them on all of their pseudo-news programs without it costing PETA a dime, and those shows are really more of PETA's target audience.
Now that it is "news" other networks pick up on the story and also show the commercials, also without costing PETA a dime.
My theory is that NBC and PETA were in cahoots the whole time, and that they never intended to have those commercials run during the Superbowl. What do ya'll think?

The whole climate thing is based on the absurd notion that there is a "normal" climate for the earth to which we must return. I would love to show these folks a time lapse video of what sea levels have done over the past 100,000 years or just the past 10,000; or of what Southern California has looked like since humans first arrived here. The climate has always changed and always will, whether it is fluctuations in sunlight, earth's rotation, volcanic eruptions, or burning of fossil fuels. Spending money to "reduce our carbon footprint" is idiotic, because if it were to succeed, IT WOULD NOT STOP CLIMATE CHANGE! Much better to spend the money on strategies to DEAL with the inevitable climate change. How about preparing to farm the deserts that will produce crops due to increased rainfall? How about putting people to work building infrastructure inland, where the sea is rising? Lots of constructive ways to deal with the long term issue, which is NOT correctable by ANY means.

Ok, some folk may dump on me for this, but I'm 56, I've seen statewide ice storms and other weather related "tragedies" all my life, but I know for a fact that they were NEVER covered like they are now a days.
It's become "real time reality TV." They are turning anything more than the mundane into news. I live in New York city and upstate New Jersey for the first 22 years of my life and there was never the sort of "edge" about the problems bad weather caused as there is now.
A big part of my family lived in La. and Tx. When I first moved to Texas in 1974, one of the first things I inquired about was tornados. My aunt said "well, there's no way to stop them, there's nothing you can do by take cover if they come, so we don't spend to much time worrying about them."
I've been through tornados, hurricanes, major winter weather and etc. and I just don't remember the events being turned into entertaining news and divisive politics.

A Population definition and source info
The Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program (PEP) produces July 1 estimates for years after the last published decennial census (2000). Existing data series such as births, deaths, and domestic and international immigration, are used to update the decennial census base counts. PEP estimates are used in federal funding allocations, in setting the levels of national surveys, and in monitoring recent demographic changes.
With each new issue of July 1 estimates, PEP revises estimates for years back to the last census. Previously released estimates are superseded. Revisions to estimates for prior years are usually due to input data updates, changes in methodology, or legal boundary changes.

No money is earmarked for ACORN in the bill. 4 billion to HUD partly for housing rehab contracts that ACORN and others could bid on a few million of, but ACORN is not in the bill.

They are turning anything more than the mundane into news. I live in New York city and upstate New Jersey for the first 22 years of my life and there was never the sort of "edge" about the problems bad weather caused as there is now.
In a similar vein, most years the University of South Carolina has a home football game while the State Fair is going on. The fairgrounds and the stadium are across the street from each other.
Every time, all the local media is screaming about how bad the traffic is going to be, and you need to leave three... no FOUR hours early for the game, and be sure to save your leftovers from the tailgate party, because you could easily STARVE TO DEATH WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC....
Hey, the fair is 100 years old and the stadium has been there fifty years. I think we understand they traffic might be a bit heavy that weekend.

It was their suits and actions that forced lenders into high risk loans. A big piece of the HUD money will go to ACORN.

Yep, you actually bring up the larger picture behind my original comment. Everything on the news is "breaking." Fox is most guilty of this because they literally use the moniker "breaking news" to introduce almost every news segment after a commercial.
I can remember being without power in a storm for 1 day or two or more and it never even made the news or any sort of information source. It just wasn't news. If you wanted info, or whatever, you called the utility company.
This is teaching us a way to respond to situations as if we are some sort of "herd." If they convince us that it's the fault of a political party, then we all, in unison, blame the politicians. Now a days it's always the fault of someone.
But the emphasis is never on.. "hey, here's what you need to do for yourself to keep yourself safe."
Nope, they want us to sit around, like a herd, and wait to be rescued. This is not good for the country.

White washing
On Tuesday, Jan. 20, Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th President of the United States, and white conservatives across America suffered a small crisis of confidence. Of course, white conservatives still control many political offices in the country, and they have most of the money, and they have access to better health care and education, and they hold most of the head coaching positions in the NFL… but it was still a blow to their egos.
In order to keep their spirits alive in these troubled times, Boulder Weekly has created a list of areas in which white conservatives continue to excel: 1) watching Clint Eastwood movies, 2) making bean casseroles, 3) wearing toupées, 4) using outdated colloquialisms like darn tootin’ and you betcha, and 5) eating high-fiber cereal.

Well, if McCain can ensure that, then the package will be defeated. He needs to be held to that stance and not allowed to give in to his desire for "bipartisanship" (which always seems to involve weakening the GOP's principles for favorable MSM coverage). The Grand Old Party must say with one voice: No Money For ACORN!

Okay, from the Bill:
For an additional amount for ‘‘Community Develop7
ment Fund’’ $1,000,000,000, to carry out the community
8 development block grant program under title I of the
9 Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42
10 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.): Provided, That the amount appro11
priated in this paragraph shall be distributed according
12 to the same funding formula used in fiscal year 2008:
So now I have to go back to2008 and figure out if Acorn recieved any money from the Federal Government...which I think they did. Furthermore:
That in allocating the funds appropriated
14 in this paragraph, the Secretary of Housing and Urban
15 Development shall not require an additional action plan
16 from grantees:
So, yes, Acorn is getting money, at the same percentage as last year, whatever that was, and they DO NOT HAVE to apply for it.

They better not.
It doesn't matter. There are many Republicans that want to give this money away as much as the Democrats. Look how many of them couldn't hand it out fast enough before the election. Hell, McCain made it a special campaign stunt to rush up to DC to deal with it.
No, many of the Republicans are thrilled with this bill, but right now, it's good PR for them to play the bad cops and be against it.
Then the Democrats will trim some fluff from it (fluff they put in just for that purpose) and that will help the Democrats look like the good cops.
The bill will pass, the money will go out, everybody will have gotten most of what they wanted, the Republicans will look like they tried as hard as they could, and in 6 months, no one will be able to tell you where the money is going.
Remember, the special interest and big money blood suckers play both sides of the aisle. In the end, they all win, we loose.

I recommend that people read the interview with Fr. Floriano Abrahamowicz and decide for themselves if his comments have been fairly represented. It is available here: [Link: ncronline3.org...]
This priest said “No, I don’t cast doubt on the numbers. There could have been more than six million victims.” How does this seem to cast doubt on the numbers?

A lot of bloggers seem upset by this. I really don't think PJTV is going to work out. I'm a blog junkie and even I don't have the patience to watch their videos even when it's by bloggers that I like. In fact I refuse to sign up for their free registration and haven't even bother to go to bugmenot to get a password for PJTV.
I don't think PJTV will work out, either, and I signed up for the registration.
IMHO Protein Wisdom's blog post was helpful.
I liked the analysis and suggestion:
My proposal: Engage the elements of (1) needing to develop a formative program, (2) needing an actual, stated political platform, or at least a place to hammer stuff to the wall, debate it, and have it stick (3) the tremendous power of the electronic broadsheet, (4) free stuff that serves the above, and (5) the many and wonderful minds that have been known to populate the PW phenomenon.From there, I’d be willing to publish and a host a Classical Liberal Wiki
The Right needs to get its shit together, and perhaps even to influence a national candidate. That latter’s a lofty ideal from such humble origins as I propose, but if not us, then who? If we had ten Ric Lockes and ten Dan Collins each influencing ten apiece and so on, you can see that while this would take the next two presidential terms to develop, it’d still at some point grow to great substance. I continue to insist that the Left can have no such organic intellectual basis because it is based on parasitic theory and action and cannot therefore reveal itself, assuming it’s even self-conscious enough to do so, which is clearly debatable.
I maintain that only the classic Right can pin it’s anti-government, anti-corruption message to proven theoretical, moral, political, and even human principles. The Left is just where liars and thieves go. We need to take advantage of this.

Republican lawmakers are raising concerns that ACORN, the low-income advocacy group under investigation for voter registration fraud, could be eligible for billions in aid from the economic stimulus proposal working its way through the House.
House Republican Leader John Boehner issued a statement over the weekend noting that the stimulus bill wending its way through Congress provides $4.19 billion for "neighborhood stabilization activities."
He said the money was previously limited to state and local governments, but that Democrats now want part of it to be available to non-profit entities. That means groups like ACORN would be eligible for a portion of the funds.

(From the link)

ACORN really screwed up their other work in the community by their shitty voter drive. Now, if they get a dime, none of it should go to voter registration.
A lot of their 'other' work in the community simply continues the spiral though. Suing a bank to make a loan for someone who can not afford it does no good for anyone. From what I have read recently about these organizations I truly believe none of them should get federal money, just like churches get no federal dollars. I understand the I might hurt little leagues and such with the rule, but so many 'community service' organizations are front groups for more insidious entities...and the current batch of terrorists know how to use front groups to raise money.

re: #1105 Stonemason
see my1079...if I get a minute I ill try to figure out what Acorn got last year from the feds, that is the number that they will specifically (without being named, how convenient) get for the net two yeas.
That's not correct. The fact that the allocation between various types of agencies (e.g. state, local, non-profit) would be made in the same proportion as in 2008 does not mean that the same non-profit organizations would get it. They would be ELIGIBLE to BID for it.
See, for example, this report (datelined last Tuesday)(already posted by JCM, above):
Republican lawmakers are raising concerns that ACORN, the low-income advocacy group under investigation for voter registration fraud, could be eligible for billions in aid from the economic stimulus proposal working its way through the House.
House Republican Leader John Boehner issued a statement over the weekend noting that the stimulus bill wending its way through Congress provides $4.19 billion for "neighborhood stabilization activities."
He said the money was previously limited to state and local governments, but that Democrats now want part of it to be available to non-profit entities. That means groups like ACORN would be eligible for a portion of the funds.

Doesn't matter. The bill still sux, big time. If it get enacted, ACORN is going to be among the least of our problems.

this is not a report, this is not some republican or democrat take on the bill, this is directly from the bill. If acorn go money last year they will get money this year. No, this is not part of the 4.19 billion that some on the right are screaming about, this is in another section.

I read that to mean same as last year...I could be wrong as I do not parse this language on a regular basis but I do some of it occaisionally. I have no problem with things being explained to me either, it helps me learn.
I noticed in other parts of the bill that 'eligible' is used where it is not used in this section. This section only covers 1 billion (yeah, only) so I figured it was a gift to previous 'grantees' as they were not reqiured 'additional action plan(s)' to get the same funding as last year.

You're surely aware that this same argument is made in defense of Hamas and Hesb'allah. Right? In fact, I think I may have pointed this out to you before. It's not that ACORN is "tied to the politics of the low income communities..." In many cases, ACORN uses the influence its govt. funding provides to actually mold and corrupt the politics of those communities to suit its own far left ideology. It uses those people as tools and takes advantage of their vulnerability to do so. Anyone who really cares about the welfare of our nation's poor should be the first in line trying to dig groups like ACORN out of their nests in those communities and bring in organizations that actually want to do some good. ACORN stinks.

I can answer that question, easy. Both sides of the aisle do not care a twit anymore about us down here. The whole DC gang is working for a plutocracy.
So, I am not surprised, nor fooled, by anything that the Republicans or the Democrats do in DC. Bottom line is they are all working for special interest and big money, and those special interests and big money plays both sides of the coins.
The only winners in any of this is big money. And no, there is no way of "voting" them out and changing it. there is enough 'string" pulling going on at the state level that you can be sure if a politician is going to Washington, he is only going because he is going to be of some use to the big money cult.

No, you don't sound like a lib, but I don't agree with you. Unless some kid(s) grow up and create a bigger "money cult" as a source of funding, they are not going to beat this. And then, they will be beholden to the bigger money cult.
We are on the verge of having this country run by a plutocracy. It's not stoppable. And at the public level, it will be socialism that is supporting the plutocracy.
