Brilliant Obama diplomacy:
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — His meet and greet with the U.S. president was bumped to Saturday, and when the White House announced his official visit, they misspelled his name.But when Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva becomes the first Latin American leader to sit down with President Barack Obama this weekend, he brings undisputed clout. ...
Silva aides said the trip was pushed forward from Tuesday because of the St. Patrick's Day holiday — making Latin America once again look like an afterthought. Then, the White House announcement misspelled his name as "Luis Ignacio" and put "Lula" — a nickname that decades ago became a legal part of the Brazilian leader's name — in quotes.
The White House quickly corrected the mistake.
Then again, when Obama was informed that two Brazillion soldiers were killed in Iraq, he was crestfallen. It was several minutes until he finally asked, in hushed tones, "Just how many are in a Brazillion?"

Well, one silver lining is that Obama's incompetence is becoming widely known despite the pathetic covering/rationalizing attempts of the MSM. This suggests several possibilities, namely that 1) his incompetence is so huge and pervasive that it cannot be fully covered up, and/or 2) the MSM is losing more and more of its ability to cover for liberals as a general principle. Both are ultimately good in the long run, although as usual America will have to pay the price for liberal perfidy for a while first.

'Israel would attack Iran with missiles'
If Israel chose to take military action against Iran's nuclear facilities, it might opt not to send IAF jets on a mission but rather use its arsenal of medium-range ballistic missiles, a report published by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said Tuesday.
The Jericho III, Israel's most advanced version of its custom-designed ballistic missile, is capable of carrying a 1,000-1,300 kilogram conventional payload or a 750kg nuclear warhead over a distance of up to 7,000 kilometers. With a smaller 350kg nuclear warhead, the missle's range can be extended even further.
According to the NCIS report, 42 missiles would be enough to "severely damage or demolish" Iran's core nuclear sites at Natanz, Esfahan and Arak.
Not quite as sporting a plan as sending the planes.

Dianna Tue, Mar 17, 2009 1:05:16pm |
I only post this so people can tell me what a dreadful recipe writer I am:
Tuscan Beefsteak:
Lay an oak fire. This is very important, and a step not to be missed. It won’t melt your Webber kettle, though the fire may prove harder to start than a charcoal fire.
The secret to this isn’t the steak. It’s the sauce. The secret to the sauce is to begin it once the fire is laid.
Begin with ½ shallot (moderately finely chopped) for every person, and garlic to taste; a teaspoon of minced ginger will also bring up the flavors. We tend to go overboard on the garlic front – about a teaspoon per person.
Sauté in butter until shallots become limp. You may – if your cholesterol is making your doctor frown at you – use olive oil instead.
Begin adding ¼ cup red wine per person (I suggest a fairly dry shiraz or softer cabernet – not merlot or zinfandel; I will hunt you down and administer twenty lashes with a wet noodle if you use a petite syrah or a pinot noir) and beef broth, about ½ cup per person.
Reduce and keep reducing; add a bit more wine and broth if it reduces past the point of serving everyone. Do not add any more shallots, though, or all you will taste is shallot.
The steaks should be about 1 inch thick, and grilled over the oak fire I told you to lay. Do not forget to begin the process with the steaks at room temperature. You may impress and terrify your friends by doing this over coals (about an hour and a half burn time) in your fireplace, should you have an actual wood-burning fireplace, instead of ye olde gas log. Just salt and pepper the steaks to taste, cook them to your desired degree of charring (I tend to favor fairly rare), then slice, spoon sauce over the meat and serve.
Generally, we accompany this with a pasta in cream sauce, with capers, smoked salmon and sun-dried tomatoes available to toss on top.

It was circulated with Bush as the butt of the joke some years back, but the joke doesn't work with Obama. Who seriously believes he'd be crestfallen?
sigh... I probably told it wrong =P
But it works better with Obama because numbers orders of magnitude more than usual are in vogue nowadays.
And because I doubt he could name more than 3 allies who have troops in Iraq/Afghanistan sans teleprompter, while I expect Bush could tell you all of them without missing a beat.

Light and sound is pure torture during a migraine. What do you take? I've tried a few "remedies" but found that an ice pack to the head for about 12 hours worked best. Everything else came with side effects and never even dented the pain.

When she was about ten, she could tell you what all the clothing

The ultimate goal of the current administration has to be to make all Americans hate America in essence converting the citizens into self-loathing Americans. Their campaign is in full speed.
It is almost impossible to understand why so many on the left hate the very essence of America or those typically unique American traits that define us as a nation. To what possible ends or purpose? Maybe, so others will hate us less or for us to mutually experience a full, clinch-fisted hatred for ourselves and our country?

He shouted that Mr. Bush was a war criminal and claimed he wanted to make a citizen's arrest.

re: #177 Occasional Reader
I think I've mentioned this before, but what the hay:
Years back, when I was at Mass one day with my family (yeah, that long ago), my dad later reported that he could hear the small child in the pew behind him, instead of reciting the intercessional "taste and see the goodness of the Lord", solemnly intoning "Tastee-Freez® the goodness of the Lord".
Reminds me of that old hymn:
You're losin' 'em
You're losin' 'em
Lift up your skirt and see
Your right, hose, Anna, is the highest
The left one is falling down your knee

The Che thread is on it's dead-thread deathbed, so I'll repost this in the OT
More on Che-worship.
Since Liberals don't discriminate, that is, since they view no culture, system of thought, government, no religion, idea, nothing at all is better than or worse than anything else (since to admit this, ever, would be committing the great sin of discrimination), then any of these systems which led to success must have done so by cheating. Therefore, the USA and Israel, for example, must have become the most successful systems on the planet in facet after facet, from indusry to ingenuity to happiness, by virtue of somehow cheating, because it couldn't POSSIBLY have been by virtue of the particular system, since it is preordained that no system is better or worse than any other. Every time they will side with and champion those systems which lead to failure, because they have to - that's how they've programmed themselves. INDISCRIMINATE is their kernal. With that prime directive they've painted themselves into a corner where they can ONLY side with the systems (and people who follow them) which lead to failure. "That which is held in disdain qualifies to be their mascot." Every time.
I think I understand.

Out of curiosity I recently signed up for the 'We Surround Them' website just to see what it's about (yes I am sometimes a masochist) ... that lead me to a Facebook group that was set up for the 'Nationwide Tea Party'. Once there I was astounded by an image that was posted to the group.
The image in question here:Photos from Nationwide Tax Day Tea Party. If you scroll through the images you'll find the controversial monkey/stimulus bill cartoon too. Of course they have the right to post these images but does it really help? Are "normal" people going to want to attend these protests?

I don't know..I have had some horrendous crashes but impact to the head is different...she fell the length of her body in snow...wth?
If she tried to stay rigid, and snapped her head at the last moment, I guess that could lead to enough bruising, just due to force. But it's impossible to say from this remove.
We should simply stick with sympathy.

Good god. Some of these photos are completely offensive and you're right. If they're in the same protest, be they Mobys or not, they must be disassociated with. Some of the images on that page are so offensive that I can't help but think they MUST be Mobys. Like someone's trying to put up material so offensive that the Media take notice and, say, get the public all riled up and demanding that the internet be censored. Who let the Klan in?

Deadly Disdain, Deadly Denial About it: The Fate of Muslim Women
Sometimes, I despair of ever being able to convey the disdain for women that one may encounter in the Muslim world.
First, many Americans and Europeans simply do not want to believe it; they absolutely refuse to surrender their belief that all people are both “good” and the “same.” Some westerners do not think it is politically correct, or even polite to say so–especially if people really are “different.” Thus, for both reasons, westerners will deny the extent to which most women are despised, feared, controlled, and punished in the Muslim world. Some westerners also say: “Women are oppressed here as well. It’s racist to single out an entire culture and people for the ways in which women are mistreated everywhere.”

There were several "below-the-belt" and offensive images there, including what looks like a distorted photo of Michelle Obama. Many of them seem to have been added by this one person:
Added by Anthony UkrainianNo, they don't "help" at all, I agree with you.
But yes, "normal" people will attend these protests, I plan to attend one here. I did notice, in that file of images, that most of the posters being held by actual people were not hold-your-nose offensive at all. It seems to me this guy has collected a bunch of nasty images and is posting them anywhere he can.
I hate to suggest it, but I would not be shocked to find the poster of those pictures is a leftie moon bat. Both sides have been known to leave a turd in the others punch bowl. Had the images been carried around on a sign, I'd expect a good conservative to speak up.

Cmdr. David K. Rehbein of the American Legion, the nation's largest veterans group, called the president's plan to raise $540 million from private insurers unreasonable, unworkable and immoral.
"This reimbursement plan would be inconsistent with the mandate 'to care for him who shall have borne the battle,' given that the United States government sent members of the Armed Forces into harm's way, and not private insurance companies," Rehbein said late Monday after a meeting with the president and administration officials at the Veterans Affairs Department.
"I say again that The American Legion does not and will not support any plan that seeks to bill a veteran for treatment of a service-connected disability at the very agency that was created to treat the unique need of America's veterans," Rehbein said.
Roberts said that 11 veterans service organizations were told to come up with another plan if they didn't like this one. The groups met on Monday with Obama, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and Office of Management and Budget defense spending chief Steven Kosiak.
"What we've been tasked with now is to raise this money through alternative means and we're supposed to have a conference call in two or three days ... with Rahm Emanuel. So the implication was ... you guys come up with a better idea or this is what's going to happen," Roberts said.

Chris Dodd - another Mistra-Know-It-All...
Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) on Monday night floated the idea of taxing American International Group (AIG: 0.9768, 0.1967, 25.21%) bonus recipients so the government could recoup the $450 million the company is paying to employees in its financial products unit. Within hours, the idea spread to both houses of Congress, with lawmakers proposing an AIG bonus tax.
While the Senate constructed the $787 billion stimulus last month, Dodd unexpectedly added an executive-compensation restriction to the bill. That amendment provides an “exception for contractually obligated bonuses agreed on before Feb. 11, 2009,” which exempts the very AIG bonuses Dodd and others are seeking to tax. The amendment is in the final version and is law.

What needs to be done is for three or four big beefy guys to sidle up to some of the kooks and ask them point-blank what their purpose is at the rally. On the off chance they care, they can be provided with a big marker and a sign and supervised while they write out something on-topic. If they don't, the sign can be taken from them and the kook can be left to whine about "fascism".

Exactly. People felt very comfortable posting those images on the Tea Party site. That's a serious warning sign right there. The fact that they felt comfortable enough to post them and that there isn't immediate outrage is another serious sign. Sunlight is the best disinfectant but it only works if people care.

Obama Administration snubs yet another country -
Brazil has become a major U.S. trading partner, with cautious economic policies that have helped it weather the crisis better than almost all other major economies. With huge new offshore oil finds and abundant ethanol, Brazil could be key to helping wean the U.S. off Venezuelan crude and shift to cleaner energies.Still, the White House made several moves interpreted as snubs by the Brazilian media.
Silva aides said the trip was pushed forward from Tuesday because of the St. Patrick's Day holiday — making Latin America once again look like an afterthought. Then, the White House announcement misspelled his name as "Luis Ignacio" and put "Lula" — a nickname that decades ago became a legal part of the Brazilian leader's name — in quotes.

In this particular time, when Libs with their anti-Rush (who is a racist, doncha know, they just need to prove it) parade and the seeming imminence of the Fairness Doctrine, want to shut us all up, as I say, more than anything else in the world right now, especially right now, as they remake our government's very foundations. Do I seem drunk to post the idea that a Moby might be behind the pics?

re: #440 LGoPs
The beauty of the Constitution and the 200 + year stability it has provided the country is the way it was crafted to be difficult to change. Progressive, 'Living Document' politicians are one of it's greatest enemies.
That road leads to tyranny. That's why the Constitution was created as it was. The Founders were immensely wise and I believe it was due in part to a thorough understanding of history - in particular Greek and Roman history. Athens had a 'democracy' that degenerated into mob rule and eventually couldn't stand against Sparta. Sparta was autocratic but had a stable government. Rome was a republic but eventually fell due in part to a lack of seperation of powers and necessary checks and balances. There are many other factors of course, but it seems to me that what the Founders tried to do was use what they new of history, and human nature, to build a lasting Republic. Once it becomes easy to change the Constitution, we'll end up with a tyrant.

On the off chance they care, they can be provided with a big marker and a sign and supervised while they write out something on-topic.

Jesse, Al, I looking at you), but some pinhead does something far milder, and that's it. End the movement, pack up and leave, and above all submit to the dominance of the Left?

Here's to the valor of New York's "Fighting 69th" and "Fighting Irish" Regiment, most recently engaged in Afghanistan where it lost nine of its men, killed in action.
[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]
"Its history dates back to 1849, when it was created as the 9th Regiment New York State Militia, and A Company, 1/69 can trace roots back to the American Revolution. The regiment saw combat in four wars: the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, and the Iraq War. It has also participated in 23 campaigns.
It is an Irish heritage unit, with many of its traditions and symbols deriving from a time when the regiment was made entirely of Irish-Americans. The regiment's Civil War Era battle cry was "Fág an Bealach;" which is Irish Gaelic for "Clear the Way." This is reminiscent of the cry of the Irish Brigade of the French Army in the Battle of Fontenoy. A World War I era battle cry is "Garryowen and Glory!" Its Motto is "Gentle when stroked - Fierce when provoked" in reference to the Irish Wolfhounds on its crest and dress cap badges of 1861.
After the failed Young Irelanders Revolt in 1848, Irish revolutionary activity transferred from Ireland to New York City. Irish patriots in New York believed they needed to form an Irish Brigade composed of Irish regiments to free Ireland from British control. To that end, they began to organize independent military companies in New York City. In late 1848 and early 1849, the first companies were formed. Drills were conducted at the Center Market and by mid 1849 a skeleton of the First Irish Regiment had been formed. As can be seen in the Lineage and Honors Certificate, which is mounted on the wall in the front hall of the 69th Armory, it is to this regiment that the 69th traces its earliest history and lineage. The Lineage and Honors Certificate of the 69th Regiment can be found at: [Link: www.sixtyninth.net...] Michael Doheny, a refugee from the failed 1848 Revolt was one of the Company Commanders of this Regiment. He was instrumental in the founding of all the early Irish Regiments.
In the summer of 1849 and continuing until the fall, Irish leaders in New York City began negotiations with the State to form an Irish regiment with the existing and future independent Irish companies. On December 21, 1849 the First Irish Regiment was adopted by the State. (This date is the officially recognized date of organization for the 69th Regiment.) Many of the Irish revolutionary leaders, including Michael Phelan, Michael Doheny, Richard O’Gorman, and James Huston, participated in the meetings. Doheny, O’Gorman, and Huston had participated in the failed Irish Revolt of 1848. Phelan was not in Ireland in 1848 but he also believed the Irish must train soldiers within the New York State Militia system to free Ireland. What is known about the meetings is that the “original Ninth Regiment” which had been formed in 1799, was disbanded on May 27, 1850 with its companies transferred to the Eight Regiment. Two days later, on May 29th 1850 the First Irish Regiment was mustered into the New York State Militia as the 9th Regiment with Colonel Benjamin Clinton Ferris, Commander.
Over a year later, the Second Regiment of the proposed Irish Brigade was organized on the 12th of October 1851. The Second Irish Regiment was mustered into the New York State Militia on November 1, 1851 as the 69th Regiment. This was the unit to which the 69th previously traced. Michael Doheny left the 9th and was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the 69th. In May 1852, another Irish Regiment (Third Irish Regiment designated the 72d Regiment) was established on Long Island.
In 1852, Thomas Francis Meagher, another leader of the failed Rebellion of 1848, escaped to New York and took an active role in the Irish Republican movement in New York.

Chris Dodd - another Mistra-Know-It-All...
Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) on Monday night floated the idea of taxing American International Group (AIG: 0.9768, 0.1967, 25.21%) bonus recipients so the government could recoup the $450 million the company is paying to employees in its financial products unit. Within hours, the idea spread to both houses of Congress, with lawmakers proposing an AIG bonus tax.
While the Senate constructed the $787 billion stimulus last month, Dodd unexpectedly added an executive-compensation restriction to the bill. That amendment provides an “exception for contractually obligated bonuses agreed on before Feb. 11, 2009,” which exempts the very AIG bonuses Dodd and others are seeking to tax. The amendment is in the final version and is law.
I think Chris Dodd just might be in electoral trouble.

ASTEROID FLYBY TONIGHT: Newly-discovered asteroid 2009 FH is flying past Earth tonight only 85,000 km away. That's about twice the altitude of a geosynchronous communications satellite.
That's two this month in the range of 0.2 lunar distance from impact.
Location? If it's going to be bright enough, I may try to take my son out and show him. Unless you mean that you have to be up at 2am to see it.

It's weird in a way, he sees what he can only describe as blue flashes in the run up to the attack. He knows now to take a pill and hit the bed in a dark room as soon as those flashes start.
Poor turnspawn!
Its a horrible thing to get - and indeed, lying still in a dark room is the best thing to do, I found.

What needs to be done is for three or four big beefy guys to sidle up to some of the kooks and ask them point-blank what their purpose is at the rally. On the off chance they care, they can be provided with a big marker and a sign and supervised while they write out something on-topic. If they don't, the sign can be taken from them and the kook can be left to whine about "fascism".
That's even more offensive.
I can tell someone I dislike their sign. I cannot take it away from them.

Bungle is a Have-A-Go Hero!
So reports MPACuk:
"What actually happened for those who do not know, is an intruder tried to break into the house of Inayat in the middle of the night. Inayat’s 3 year old child was sleeping as was his pregnant wife, woken by the noise of a man who at first tried to kick in the front door and then failing that, smashed the downstairs window. Inayat confronted the intruder and in the scuffle the intruder was stabbed."
The CPS will not be proceeding against him.
Gregg in the comments on Sunday noted:
"Delicious dissonance impending for the Mail if it turns out he stabbed an illegal intruder."
Quite so!
The rest of the MPACuk post is worth reading, for comedy value:
"Until Muslims start to stand up, we may as well give up on the word freedom and prepare ourselves for slavery."
They think that a cabal of drunk Zionists tried to break into Bungle’s house, and it is a huge conspiracy against “the Muslims”, or something.

It's kind of like the Abu Grabass thing. People are raging majorly over reletively minor things while completely ignoring far more egregious wrongs. Would I pull the pic of Michelle? Sure I would, if it were my site. But I am curious why the outrage is so one sided. I know it isn't because people don't see the racism and bigotry, the sheer malevolent hatred that comes from the Democrats and the Left. They don't really try to hide it. Did you hear one Democrat that was upset about, say, the kooks that were throwing Oreo cookies at Michael Steele? The same people that waxed super-righteous about the use of the word "Macaca" by George Allen gave Kleagle Byrd a pass on using the word "n*gger" a few years earlier.
After all, once a Klansman, always a Klansman, but I guess that is OK.
I could go on at some length about this, but you know the same facts that I do. There's an even chance that whoever posted those images was deliberately trying to make us look bad. That is a tactic that they have used over and over and over. And why shouldn't they?
It is a tactic that works.

Yep, and then the blast wave from the resulting exploding star took about another 10 seconds to reach the planet. Meaning the planet was less than 10 light-seconds away from its star to begin with (as compared with, say Earth's roughly 8 light-minutes). No wonder Picard got all sweaty.

It's rare, but I'm in complete agreement with KTrout here.
The left isn't out protesting anymore. The professional protestors who made good with the Soros-funded printshopped signage for 8 years have nothing to do. You can bet that a certain small percentage of them have said, "You know what, I'm gonna keep protesting...but..."
You can also bet that the professional WWP-style protestor knows all about zombie, the Anatomy of a Photograph, and the power of photography over public opinion, since zombie provided a PhD. level course for us all to learn, for 8 years or so, free of charge. You can also bet they know all about the influence of someone like zombie over opposition opinion.
They're gonna use protests, conservative ones too. And, you all know their history. Mobys are utilized, and it's a rising trend. My guess is they will try and get these images and their association with conservatives to go viral, and even MSM newsworthy. For one end only. To shut us all up somehow.

The social values of San Francisco are not those of America, and allowing Pelosi to be the Dem standard bearer was quite brazen. If the Dems lose a lot in 2010, I think social values will be a part of it, though probably negligible--just like they were against the republicans. In the end, I guess as much as I appreciate American values, for most voters it's all about the economy. Fortunately imo, dems are ruinous to both the economic and moral health of the country. With R' occasionally better.

What is the relevant difference in your view between now and then? Certainly we all have representation, but as the rich get their wealth redistrubted, the actual tax-payer is becoming a minority, the golden goose the ambitious dems can effectively tax w/o representing.
Quality of life is good now, and we're unlikely to lose the nice things we've created since 1776, but I fully support a bit of outrage at the thoughtless (at least to secondary consequences) policies of Obama, and I think that by and large this is completely without racism, where it is genuine, and racists are happy to pretend that it's all about race, like always, but that doesn't mean that they are right.

I was just over at a local mall, basically to get a little walk in, it's a mile around the whole place.
Well, I stopped in Borders Books and I noticed there was a WHOLE section dedicated to 2012, the year when, according to the books there, the year when quetzaquotal is coming back, or the alien lizards are going to reveal themselves or this or that space whatever is going to smash into the earth.
The funny thing was, of about the 16 different books in that section, each one had their own idea of what is going to happen in 2012, and not one of them overlapped in themes or concepts (except that shit was going to hit the fan).
Guy and girls, this is what passes for research and truth now a days. And we wonder how the Big O got elected, how AIG has managed to fuck us over, why Advanti sees the world through some screwed up lens...

To find Gemini, locate first Big Dipper. Drawing a line from Big Dipper’s four stars brings you directly to Gemini’s bright star Pollux. Now that you know how to locate Gemini and Pollux, you can easily find also Castor which is on right side of Pollux.

re: #714 Walter L. Newton
I was just over at a local mall, basically to get a little walk in, it's a mile around the whole place.
Well, I stopped in Borders Books and I noticed there was a WHOLE section dedicated to 2012, the year when, according to the books there, the year when quetzaquotal is coming back, or the alien lizards are going to reveal themselves or this or that space whatever is going to smash into the earth.
The funny thing was, of about the 16 different books in that section, each one had their own idea of what is going to happen in 2012, and not one of them overlapped in themes or concepts (except that shit was going to hit the fan).
Guy and girls, this is what passes for research and truth now a days. And we wonder how the Big O got elected, how AIG has managed to fuck us over, why Advanti sees the world through some screwed up lens...

re: #662 Killgore Trout
To be on the level Killgore, I think it is a bit of a stretch to make a comparison between something like these tea parties, and something like the Folsom Street Fair, or other similar causes.
From what little attention I have paid to these tea parties, it is totally born out of the spirit of what is happening to the individual liberty, and Constitutional protections. Moreover, it is of the sentiment, and keeping with the image of what actually inspired this historic event to begin with. Opportunist abound no doubt, following your line of thinking could paint the families of fallen soldiers who don't physically confront Phelps morons to be guilty as well.
Most of what Zombie has sought out, and produced is not the ambivalent masses with people looking to ride the wave. I think naked bicycle rides, or explicit efforts to disrupt rush hour traffic are the sole aim of those events, not happenstance among what are otherwise normal people protesting unconstitutional encroachment by their government.
We do agree, the bullshit should not be tolerated, but making a moral equivalence is not necessarily fair.

I don't really care if you are done arguing it.
The fact that he has allowed the issue to swim around (and had a meeting with the commander of the AL where he, indeed, said he would push the idea) means that this man has no honor whatsoever.
If he is merely threatening to do this in order to score political points in other areas then he is scum. Those that excuse such are scum.
I suppose you aren't a wounded vet and must not know many - wounded vets live in constant fear that the VA will pull the rug out from them. They are used to jumping through flaming hoops and having to visit different VA hospitals to get treatment. Now they get to worry that they may lose coverage altogether.
In the military one thing I learned is that a leader does not lie, cheat or steal. Nor does he tolerate those who do.

See #310. It's classic racist imagery.
Those are repulsive, but that's not what Anthony Ukrainian posted on Facebook. If you're referring to the image of Michelle Obama, I will grant you it's apparently photoshopped to make her jaw appear more prognathous, which in context is probably racist in intent.
BTW, I sent a message through Facebook about the Anthony Ukrainian images, as well as the one Nirther sign from one of the tea party events, to the creator of the group. I urged him to take them down as they discredit the group's message. I believe reine.de.tout did the same. If he leaves them up, that will tell me what I need to know about him and his group.

Good. I hope it sparked your interest and holds you attention, so you will watch the rest of the season (and seasons). Season two did tread water a bit, because there was some contract stuff that wasn't totally work out, and the producers/writers sort of put to much advancement on hold until they were sure of how many years they had to work with.
And let me tell you this, watch carefully, because the basic plot arcs were decided on from the start, so, in general, they are not just making this up as they go on, which you will start to see the evidence of that in season five (this season).
Very clever how the pieces of this story start to come together at this point. And of course, they are getting everything set up for the final season, season 6, next year.

Poke around Lostpedia. But be a bit careful, since it has 5 seasons worth of information on characters, plots, episodes etc.
Here is a Lostpedia article on the "degrees of separation" of the characters. As you may already realize, these characters are more "connected" to each other than they realize at this point.
Stop reading this article if you think it is to much of a "spoiler."

And Hamas can and will claim that he was alive until Operation Cast Lead, when they squawked that Shalit was located where some of the Israeli airstrikes hit.
I haven't thought that Shalit was alive for some time. I wish I were mistaken in that belief, but there's been no evidence to the contrary. Hamas refuses to provide access to the ICRC or Red Crescent to show that he's alive, and Hamas demands are the same as they have ever been - release hundreds of terrorists and Hamas would in turn release Shalit. Maybe.
Olmert has failed the Shalit family and all Israelis in failing to go after Hamas and refusing to deal with the situation from day 1. He has enabled Hamas through his actions, and any deal with the terrorist group will only serve to benefit Hamas and undermine Israel's security needs.

Good afternoon all.
I didn't agree with the AIG bonuses, but scares the shit out of me.
"My colleagues and I are sending a letter to [AIG CEO Edward] Liddy informing him that he can go right ahead and tell the employees that are scheduled to get bonuses that they should voluntarily return them," Sen. Charles Schumer said on the Senate floor. "Because if they don't, we plan to tax virtually all of [the money] ... so it is returned to its rightful owners, the taxpayers."
From the floor Congress will decide who and how much they will tax?
Schumer's comments came the same day New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo confirmed in a letter to Congress that AIG paid 73 employees bonuses of more than $1 million each.
Cuomo also wrote that 11 of the employees no longer work for the company. The largest bonus paid was $6.4 million; seven other people also received more than $4 million each.
Schumer: AIG employees should return bonuses or face high tax

Subtitles are better, because the English voiceacting just sounds like a bad joke after you've heard the Japanese. This is what this Lizard watches. Unlike American animation, there is no Marxist moral-to-the-story with the typical Japanese anime. It's just good fun fantasy. (I won't comment on the dark side of Japanese animation, except to say that I dislike all forms of nihilism and hedonism, and a mix of the two is deplorable, so no, I don't dig the tentacle/robot sex stuff.

Cmdr. David K. Rehbein of the American Legion, the nation's largest veterans group, called the president's plan to raise $540 million from private insurers unreasonable, unworkable and immoral.
"This reimbursement plan would be inconsistent with the mandate 'to care for him who shall have borne the battle,' given that the United States government sent members of the Armed Forces into harm's way, and not private insurance companies," Rehbein said late Monday after a meeting with the president and administration officials at the Veterans Affairs Department.
"I say again that The American Legion does not and will not support any plan that seeks to bill a veteran for treatment of a service-connected disability at the very agency that was created to treat the unique need of America's veterans," Rehbein said.
Roberts said that 11 veterans service organizations were told to come up with another plan if they didn't like this one. The groups met on Monday with Obama, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and Office of Management and Budget defense spending chief Steven Kosiak.
"What we've been tasked with now is to raise this money through alternative means and we're supposed to have a conference call in two or three days ... with Rahm Emanuel. So the implication was ... you guys come up with a better idea or this is what's going to happen," Roberts said.

As I posted on this earlier - Schumer has been calling for billions to bail out AIG, and that helps Wall Street and the NYC metro area (Schumer represents himself, but voters from NY keep sending him to Congress). He knows that the money in bonuses will get spent in the NYC metro area - on everything from homes to cars to restaurants - all of which is beneficial to the local economy reeling from the lost jobs.
So in his infinite wisdom as a demagogue, he's demanding that the money be taken by hook or crook.

Addendum to my #834: Flagging an image in Facebook reports it to Facebook, not the image owner. As far as I can tell, the Nirther sign photo does not violate Facebook's Terms of Use.
Facebook removes photos for attacking an individual or group if:
* the photo has been edited to attack an individual or group
* the caption or tags attack an individual or group
* the image is hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionableFacebook will not remove a photo for attacking an individual or group if:
* the photo is simply unflattering
* the individual pictured does not like the way it looks
* the photo does not violate our Terms of Use
Of course you can still complain to the image owner. In this case, I suspect the group is okay with the sign, which means I have no interest in joining the group. That wouldn't stop me from going to a Tea Party, however, where I could directly confront the person and try to change their mind. (Futile, I know.)

I've seen all the Naruto episodes, working my way through the Shippuden ones. It's all one story, and is good. Subtitles are better, because the English voiceacting just sounds like a bad joke after you've heard the Japanese.
For some good voice-over work, watch Cowboy Bebop in English. I prefer original language with subtitles, except in this case. Wendee Lee says in an interview on disc 1 that people have told her the English dub is actually better than the original Japanese, so I know I'm not alone.

Gun Advocates Ready for Battle on Federal Assault Weapons Ban
Attorney General Eric Holder is using the drug violence in Mexico to "confuse and mislead" Americans in an attempt to reinstate the expired Federal Assault Weapons Ban, gun advocates claim."As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to re-institute the ban on the sale of assault weapons," Holder said. "I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum."
Holder is a putz.

Some comparison photos:
Here.
Daylife has a whole series of photos and it's just my impression that she knows she has an underbite, which may be why we see her grimace rather than give a true smile. There are some photos where she has a genuine smile, and looks good, and there are times where based on where she thinks the cameras are - she grimaces instead.
As for the photo above, I think it may be a photo-edit, and the AP logo isn't particularly convincing.

This whole deal with the vets has alarm bells ringing in my head. First, the idea is nuts. The nation loves its veterans too much to leave them out in the cold like that. It would never get off the ground in congress. On the other hand, this could be just a rope-a-dope for universal health care. The logic? If government-run healthcare is good enough for the wounded veterans of this nation, why not the rest of the populace. Nothing comes out of the offices of this administration without calculation.

Democrats in Congress are organizing to squash a White House proposal that would require veterans to use private insurance to pay for treatment of their combat and service-related injuries.In a letter being sent to the White House, a group of House Democrats, led by Rep. Glenn Nye (D-VA), warned that such a proposal "could harm our veterans and their families in unintended, yet very serious ways, jeopardizing their families' health care and even negatively affecting veterans' employment opportunities."
"While we strongly support your plans to increase funding for the VA by $25 billion over the next five years," the letter reads, "it is with equal conviction that we oppose the proposal to bill veterans' private health insurance plans for care and treatment of service-connected injuries or disabilities."
Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) is leading a similar effort in coordination with Nye. Her letter is even more forcefully worded, calling the White House proposal "deeply troubling" and charging that it "ignores the mission of the VA."
"We cannot compromise on the promise we have made to those who serve our Nation," Kirkpatrick states.

Drug Cartels Skirt Mexican Gun Laws by Smuggling in Guns from Houston
From your link:
Agents working with their Mexican counterparts have traced at least 328 Houston-bought firearms to those groups since 2007, when the investigation was launched after an audit of a gun store's sales records.
The ATF knows when and where some guns were used to kill police, gangsters and others in Mexico, according to the documents.
Gun store owners are not charged with wrongdoing. They declined to comment and would not say whether changes have been made to keep cartel members from buying guns.
So...people who are apparently US citizens have been buying guns legally from licensed dealers, after being approved by the government-run "instant check" system, and then sending the guns to Mexico.
And the solution is to ban guns?
By that logic, the solution to drunk driving is to ban cars.

I predict he never would, but the right will claim they stopped him when he does not. Had he dismissed the entire report, he'd have been accused of not caring about the good ideas in the report.

Gun Advocates Ready for Battle on Federal Assault Weapons Ban
Holder is a putz.
Wesley Clark was on Geraldo "Al Capone's empty vaults wasted several hours of my life" Rivera's show on Fox a few days ago using the Mexico situation to justify the Assault Weapons Ban. It vaguely went like this:
Clark: If we put that ban back in, they wont be able to get crates of full automatic AK-47s
Rivera: *wetting pants* I love you
Last time I checked:
A. Fully automatic weapons were illegal regardless of the assault weapons ban.
2. You cant buy "crates" of guns without an FFL and a BATF agent's nose up your ass the whole time.
D. Mexican drug lords, like *all* criminals, buy their weapons on the black market anyway. There are more AKs than people in some banana republics that are more than willing to sell to anyone.
Are people really this asininely stupid to fall for this?

Since things didn't go so well with the state school board, Texas is pushing their own stealth creationism bill:
House Bill 4224, introduced in the Texas House of Representatives on March 13, 2009, would, if enacted, require the Texas state board of education to restore the "strengths and weaknesses" language in the Texas state science standards. The current standards for high school biology include a requirement that reads, "The student is expected to analyze, review, and critique scientific explanations, including hypotheses and theories, as to their strengths and weaknesses using scientific evidence and information."

I used to ride a lot. During that time I always followed the rules of the road which is in my mind the same as driving a car. I would stop at stop signs and stand on the pedals.
These days cycling has been over run by a lot of brain dead MTV generation babies. I remember a couple of years ago I was following some bike messenger that was riding in the center lane of a three lane street in downtown. I was following him a safe distance but he didn't think so and flipped me the bird.
A couple of years after that I saw another bike messenger try and beat the light rail at a street crossing. He didn't make it but looked alive as I saw him being taken away on a stretcher. The light rail train hit his rear wheel and sent him flying onto a steel pole.

While giving the administration the benefit of the doubt that they may dismiss the proposal, Jon Soltz, executive director of VoteVets, nevertheless offered preemptive disappointment.
"We don't know if this is going to be the proposal, or if it is a serious consideration or not," he told the Huffington Post. "So, it's premature to go to the White House with pitchforks at this point. That having been said, if it is proposed, we would be opposed, and can't imagine any veterans group that would be for it. There's no appetite for it on the Hill, either. There are ways to eliminate waste at every level of government, though, including the VA. I think we'd all like to sit down with the administration and find areas of the VA budget that are redundant or wasteful, to make sure every dollar spent there is necessary."

Certain words in Washington, DC, have a way of conveying the opposite of what they're meant to convey.
It's not irony, per se, but a distinct political form of it.
"Confidence" is one of those words.
White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton, January 31, 2009: “The president has confidence that Sen. Daschle is the right person to lead the fight for health care reform.”
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, March 17, 2009: “Well, first of all, let me say the president has complete confidence" in Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.

Once again, if the picture was altered then most of my comments above are mooted: I do not support the intentional distortion of pictures in this manner. Political debate is quite fraught enough without adding fakery to it--and the over-the-line comments of the poster in question are reason enough to voice opposition to his postings, and one can find more than enough reason to oppose Obama without dabbling in racial stereotyping.
I am merely saying that, where straightforwardly unattractive pictures are concerned, there is nothing about them that is innately "racist"--and to suggest there is is knuckling under to a PC mindset that I oppose.

Imus threatens to shoot TKK’s Severin in Hub dust-up
Radio shock jock Don Imus threatened to shoot WTKK host Jay Severin during this morning’s St. Patrick’s Day broadcast in Boston.
The confrontation - which both Imus and Severin confirm - occurred shortly after 6 a.m. when Severin went up on the Wilbur Theatre stage during a commercial break to say hello to friends who are members of the “Imus in the Morning” cast.
On stage, Severin and Imus exchanged greetings before Severin walked away to talk to pals.
Imus producer-sidekick Bernard McGuirk quickly called Severin back over because Imus wanted to talk to him. Severin squatted down to speak with Imus, who was seated in a chair on the stage.
In a profanity-laced rant, Imus lashed out at Severin for telling the Herald and his listeners in October that he would no longer appear on future “Imus in the Morning” shows because he was tired of the I-Man’s insults.
Imus told Severin to get off the (expletive) stage or “I’m going to shoot you.”
Imus then repeated the threat and turned toward Severin.
“Do you (expletive) understand what I’m saying to you?” he said. “You get off this stage right now or I’m going to shoot you.”
Both Severin and his agent and attorney, George Tobia, confirmed the details of this account.
Several people witnessed the confrontation and were stunned.
Imus spokesman Matthew Hiltzik also confirmed the exchange, including that Imus said if Severin didn’t get off the stage he would shoot him. But Imus said it in jest, according to Hiltzik.
Imus' abysmal program is aired on the same station as Severin's very successful one. I wonder if there will be a showdown. Stay tuned...
Severin was one of Imus' biggest supporters after the nappy headed ho comment. And now this? Despicable.

This is no better than the VB and BNP connections that other groups are getting into.
It's also the same as the antisemites who used to post over at dkos all the time. The excuses are always the same. They aren't really there, they aren't really bad, we don't want to alienate them, etc.. and when they get busted they always claim it's only a small minority or that it was a plant to make them look bad. We've seen this whole thing play out over and over with different characters. Everybody thinks it's going to work out for them if they ignore/accept unsavory elements into their activism.

I'm not sure if this is going to cause lost in memberships. I see a trend. I see it in the racist groups in Europe, who are attracting a lot of mainstream followers, using the Muslim problem as a rallying point.
And I even see it happening here, on LGF. We've a a lot of "meltdowns" of long term and newer lizards, when suddenly a bigoted side comes out, a side that we hadn't seen before.
And we have seen it infecting lefty blogs like Kos and Huffington, and now we see it showing up on the "teac party" sites.

More on the non Obama VA plan, just in:
"VVA joins fellow veterans' service organizations in condemning the proposal advanced by the Office of Management and Budget to raise revenue by charging a veteran's private health insurer for services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs for service-connected health conditions.
"However, as far as veterans are concerned, this is the best budget submitted by a President in the 30-year history of VVA." Rowan cited the proposed $25 billion increase above the baseline over the next five years; the restoration of health-care eligibility for veterans of modest incomes, which the administration predicts will enable half a million eligible veterans to access the VA health care system by 2013; and making highly disabled veterans who are medically retired from service eligible for concurrent receipt of disability benefits from the VA, in addition to the retirement benefits they receive from the Department of Defense.

re: #816 avanti
Write the letters to the CBO, they came up with that idea and a few dozen others last year. There is no need to excuse someone for a act they will not do.
What a shameful response.
Go hide behind the Congressional Budget Office.
Here is a clue for you and all of your fellow ass hats who claim that Obama is restroing the Constitution - the Congressional Budget Office does not make policy.
Got that?
They look at numbers for the Congress. That is all that they do. They do not make policy.
Every budget cycle they are tasked with coming up with various ways to cut spending. They put up options like cutting back on welfare payments, cutting agriculture subsidies and changing veterans benefits.
As you can see from Congressional spending over the last 20 years, these ideas are usually ignored.
Not this time - Obama has, for some reason, picked up on this particular "proposal" and is pushing it around Washington. And now his choreographed minions like your pathetic self are synchronizing the talking point "It is a CBO proposal".
The CBO can't submit a bill to Congress. The CBO can't pass a law. The CBO can't sign a bill into law. The CBO is a group of budget clerks.
In this new era of "Responsibility" it is amazing how you cretins are incapable of even being responsible for the proposals that your side is advancing.
Pathetic. Dishonest. Shameful.

If it were a budget item, I'd have left already. Of course I would not like it, it's stupid politically, it saves only 5% of the BHO budget increase, private insurance will not pay for combat injuries anyway and it's not good for the vets.

Ron Paul's insane cameo in the upcoming .Sacha Baron Cohen movie
Bruno tells Paul to make himself comfortable. Paul sits down on the bed. Bruno turns on some music and starts dancing. Paul is visibly uneasy but doesn't say anything at first. He picks up a newspaper and pretends to read it. "You can tell at each weird gay detail, he [chalks] it up to, This guy is European," says one of the attendees.
Finally, Paul asks what's going on. "Don't worry about it, Dr. Paul," says Bruno, who then unbuckles his belt and drops his pants. At that point, Paul snaps up and storms out of the room.
As Paul is walking away, you can hear him say, several times, something like, "This guy is a queer!" "The word queer comes out of his mouth three or four times," says an attendee.
A spokeswoman for Paul confirmed that the episode took place but declined to provide details. "We don't want it to distract from his message," said press secretary Rachel Mills. "Now is the time when people need to be listening to him on economic issues."

ACORN to Play Role in 2010 Census
The U.S. Census is supposed to be free of politics, but one group with a history of voter fraud, ACORN, is participating in next year's count, raising concerns about the politicization of the decennial survey.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now signed on as a national partner with the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment of the 1.4 million temporary workers needed to go door-to-door to count every person in the United States -- currently believed to be more than 306 million people.
A U.S. Census "sell sheet," an advertisement used to recruit national partners, says partnerships with groups like ACORN "play an important role in making the 2010 Census successful," including by "help[ing] recruit census workers."

It was explained to me, fifteen years ago, that by federal law an employer is not allowed to ding an employee's check for mistakes that incur a cost of any kind. Disciplinary action, reduction in hours, firing are allowed, but all hours worked must be compensated no matter what.

He could say that he himself does not subscribe to any "formal" religion, go into his "my religion is free speech" discourse, etc., and make the exact same point in almost the same words, without prefacing his speech with his ignorant, embittered spew about religion in general. He would keep his "atheist credentials" and win a lot more agreement.
But he is too angry and twisted inside to do that--which is why even when I agree with him I do not trust him.
I do agree a lot about the bitter screeching part.
Way better of course is the podcasts of 'Shire Network News' less loud, way more irony and sarcasm and still a decidedly British touch.

Creationist museum: Darwin got something right
By DYLAN T. LOVAN - Associated Press Writer -
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A Kentucky museum that rejects evolution is making room for an odd guest: Charles Darwin.
A new exhibit at the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum argues that Darwin's theory of natural selection can coexist with the belief that life began just a few thousand years ago.
That might seem odd to many who have watched the battles between evolution scientists and creationists.
Museum founder Ken Ham says he wants to show that creationists accept natural selection _ but that doesn't mean they accept evolution theory.
Ham says the new exhibit features live blind cave fish and models of birds and bacteria.
Darwin argued that randomly occurring traits can give species a survival advantage, and those traits can be passed on to future generations.Creationist museum: Darwin got something right

Which begs the question. Why do so many environmentalists embrace socialism?
Because both movements are subcategories of a greater movement -- the post-enlightenment.
The post-enlightenment is built around the idea that the foundational idea of the enlightenment -- that man needs no kings, can self-govern, and can self-organize into fair and free societies -- is wrong. They believe man needs kings -- an elite -- to rule them.
The only difference between the pre-enlightenment and the post enlightenment is the label on the rulers: "kings" and "clerics" in the former, "experts" and "professors" in the latter... and, in reality, that's no difference at all.

Very good point. Enviros see man as the enemy. Socialist see man as a tool to be used. It's not a big jump between the two. If man is the enemy, then man the tool can be easily disposed of for the greater good.

Your design? I really love the rose navigation stars on the corners.
It is not my design. I was never a hobby kinda gal until BO got the nomination. I began exhibiting symptoms of ODS. My husband said "It's time for you to get a hobby". It's a very challenging project, but it keeps my fingers and brain sharp and when it's finished I have something wonderful to pass down to my children. The mariners compasses are the easiest (not easy, just easier) part of the project, most of the block can be sewn by machine, the remainder must be sewn by hand. My time is well used to say the least.

re: #1291 karmic_inquisitorSurely this is only a proposal from the CBO and in no way should reflect poorly on his highness President Barack Obama.
(did I get that talking point right Avanti?)
"You pretty much nailed it. Now, if he accepts that lame ass proposal then I have a major issue. I know their job is to submit ideas to save money, but it's the POTUS's job to protect the vets."
---
Avanti, that is incorrect. The Obama admin made the proposal, and Congress is actually, and logically, not happy with it.
Obama Administration Proposes Third-Party Billing for Combat-Related Injuries
The Obama administration has proposed to bill veterans' private insurance companies for combat-related injuries. But the plan has incited an uproar on Capitol Hill and charges from veterans groups that the plan is unethical and would further burden the war-wounded and their families.The proposal, which would save the Department of Veterans Affairs $530 million a year, threatens to complicate the new administration's relations with the 25 million Americans who have served in the military.
The plan would authorize the VA to pursue reimbursement of medical costs from private insurers, or so-called third-party billing, for treating injuries and medical conditions sustained in the course of a veteran's military service. The VA already pursues third-party billing for non-service-related conditions.
The Senate and House committees on veterans' affairs explicitly rejected the proposal today when they submitted recommendations on VA budget levels to their respective budget committees.

I'd have to say that Condell's hatred for religion once again harms his effectiveness.
He's embracing free speech as a sacred cause, while simultaneously lambasting and condemning sacred causes in general. That does seem to undermine his argument a little. Other than that, it was a pretty awesome exposition.

re: #1309 buzzsawmonkey
Beck may be right about the amount of money, but he is dead wrong about the gold standard. We went off gold in the early '30s under Roosevelt and went to silver. I believe we went to a floating currency after WWII, but we kept printing silver certificates and using silver money until 1964, under Johnson, when we went off the silver standard for good.
Beck seems to think we were on the gold standard until Nixon--and that's just flat out wrong.
We continued to allow convertibility of paper money to gold at a fixed price until Nixon. Not quite a gold standard, true, but more of a source of monetary stability.

re: #1338 buzzsawmonkey
How? We had no gold coinage--did not have one since the 1930s.
Silver certificates, which were abolished in 1964, were so called because they were redeemable for silver money--but we abolished that in 1964 too, and went to "clad" or "sandwich" coins.
It was convertible into gold bullion at a rate of $35 per oz. The trouble was, with the high debt/deficit we began running in the late sixties, we began printing more and more money, and the reserves in Ft. Knox would only cover about 20% of all the dollars in circulation.

Just replying to the poll drop post, but you knew that. 538.com predicted it will drop, as most do.
538.com
I see they used President Bush's non-analagous second-term March 2005 ratings to compare with President O's first-term March ratings. I guess that would be because President Bush's first-term March ratings were higher than O's, and therefore your source draws a conclusion based on hand-picked data. They also choose to say that the source or sources that don't agree with them are probably wrong.
Polling data show that Mr. Obama's approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001. Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama's net presidential approval rating -- which is calculated by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve -- is just six, his lowest rating to date.

It's bigger than that. It requires a lot of hard work to get in to a service academy. He appoints candidates that are not qualified. Most of his appointees don't make it through "boot camp".

I just wanted to understand your objection to the TFK post-mine was pretty direct, but you refused to do anything but downding-speaking of which, I suppose I have 3 now, and this will make 4? I am not wanting a flame war either, just objected to your attacking a valid post by TFK-but you choose to ignore and downding mine, so I was curious as to how many 'whatever' replies you've made, in your, what, 45 days more than me as 'registered"...Cheers.

re: #1355 Pietr
I just didn't want to engage after you said I had this ego because of what I said. So I simply down-dinged you. Then you called me an ass so I did it a second time. I too get cranky so it was my way of controlling my temper. All told it was only twice that I down dinged you but a couple of other people up-dinged you.
I just can't see how you consider what I said to TFK was an attack. It was a sarcastic rebuff which should have been inherent in its wording. I was motivated to say it because it was an indirect reference, more or less, to what I was talking about. It wasn't the end of the world for either parties in my opinion. An attack in my opinion would have included a judgement of him and I didn't do that.
Haven't you ever been down dinged before? Within the past week I've down dinged three people (yourself included) and for some strange reason they seem compelled to ask me, "why did you down ding me?" I've been down dinged before and never felt the need to ask.
Look, I'm writing this without any malice. It's difficult to gauge tone in both writing and especially on the internet.

Than you for the reply. I've been downdinged b4-I once played "Devils Advocate" as a newbie, so I've even been downdinged by The Big Lizard, Charles. Your initial post on the subject started many comments (Yes, I read that far back before I posted-I know you started the sub thread), and TFK explained how to resolve the Issue, regarding the many posts. You did not post a /(sarc tag), so I considered your post as an attack on TFKs' post-taken as a personal attack on you; Ergo-my ego comments. Does that explain enough...and again, Thank You. Old Farts like me like direct talk-'whatever' might work with todays kids, but it just shows me disrespect-which I expect from the current generation, but still don't tolerate...Heh heh...Cheers,
