A repost from the bottom of the last thread, but it is more suited to this one:
On my way home, I have noticed a billboard recently advertising Islam. On it, it invites people to look at Islam, and it apparently was put up by some organization called The Islamic Center of America (or something similar. It's in a hard to read color on the sign). Anyone know anything about them?

Murtha is untouchable -
A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) cannot be sued for defamation or slander stemming from comments he made regarding the death of Iraqi civilians in Haditha in November 2005.
A Marine involved in that incident, Sgt. Frank Wuterich, sued Murtha for libel and defamation after the lawmaker said the civilian deaths were “cold-blooded murder and war crimes'' in several public appearances.
Wuterich wanted to depose Murtha, and a federal judge initially backed Wuterich.
But the Bush Justice Department sided with Murtha, arguing that Murtha was acting within his official duties as a congressman when he made the Haditha comments and thus couldn’t be sued under the Federal Tort Claims Act. That legislation protects government officials from legal action over official duties.
The Justice Dept. appealed the lower court ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and that court sided with Murtha and the Justice Department Tuesday.
The appeals court stated that Wuterich “has not alleged any facts that even remotely suggest that Congressman Murtha was acting outside the scope of his employment when he spoke about the Haditha incident.”
The court added that Wuterich’s complaint was a “fishing expedition” that should not have been allowed to proceed even as far as it has.

Moving, crashing computers, and replacing multiple jump drives has taught to me always keep the most important things as close to myself as possible. And keep multiple copies (that doesn't work so well with real world objects, as Ctrl+c has little to no effect on them).

I would like to propose a unit of measure for our LGF Karma scores. We measure distance using miles as a shorthand to expressing all distances in feet, for example. We measure the heat of peppers using a unit of measure called Scovilles (Jalapenos are about 5k Scovilles and Serranos are about 10k).
I propose that we refer to our Karma using a new measure called Sharmutas! A Sharmuta is equal to 1,000 Karma points. That would put my Karma at about 0.7 Sharmutas. Sharmuta currently has about 75 Sharmutas to her Karmic credit.
Who's with me in establishing our new Karma yardstick?

They are going to get the private insurance company...
A House committee today approved legislation that would put a state-chartered workers' compensation fund firmly back under state control as negotiations over whether to use money from the fund to balance the state budget continued.
Senate Bill 281, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Brandon Shaffer, D-Longmont, would make it clear that Pinnacol Assurance, the quasi-governmental agency that offers guaranteed workers' compensation insurance, is a part of state government and could not operate as an independent mutual insurance company.

Oh that. When I posted that pic in a previous thread I didn't notice the metal codpiece and oddly familiar protuberance until I had posted the comment and was checking the links. At that point I knew I had to point it out later. It was a stretch, but you have to agree with my point, everything is scarier with a penis, right?

CAIR: Defending Muslim Student “Rights”?The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is claiming that local colleges are not protecting the rights of predominantly Somali Muslim college students. CAIR claims that it has received “numerous reports” by Muslim students that they are being “interrogated” by FBI agents. The students are being questioned as part of an on-going investigation into the whereabouts of several male Somali students whom have gone missing and are suspected of leaving the US to fight in Somalia’s long-running civil war.
CAIR-Minnesota (CAIR-MN) Civil Rights Director Taneeza Islam states:
“Students' legal rights need to be upheld and they aren't currently being afforded the only true legal protection they have when talking to the law enforcement - an attorney."
Islam’s concern is "confirmed" by this example of the FBI’s "brutal" interrogation methods involving a Muslim student. From an article titled “Pressure By FBI Puts Somalis In Bind”:
“In December, one of her friends who works for the University of Minnesota police approached her, saying the FBI would like to talk about her organization. The agent, she said, was polite and made it clear she could refuse to talk. "He wanted to know how we got funded and what activities we do," she said of the 20-minute interview. He also wanted to know "how some of the missing boys were involved in the organization," she said, adding she never felt pressured.”
So, the FBI agent explained "she didn’t have to talk" and the student stated the agent was polite?
Where is the coercion? What “rights” did the FBI agent not explain?
Considering CAIR’s reputation when it comes to providing legal advice; buyer beware. In addition to the numerous proven allegations that CAIR is directly tied to Islamic terrorism and individual Islamic terrorists, CAIR has also been accused of providing shoddy legal advice to the very North American Muslim population it claims to represent and protect. (What does it say about CAIR when they apparently set off to deliberately commit fraud against American Muslims?)
So why would it "appear" that Somali Muslim students turned to CAIR for legal advice? The simple answer is --- they didn’t. Nowhere does CAIR even make the claim that CAIR supplied any legal advice to any of the students in question. Would it be outside the realm of possibility that CAIR completely fabricated the claim that “numerous” students filed complaints with them?
We also learn that apparently none of the students interviewed for the article had anything bad to say about the FBI. None of the students stated that they were abused, denied rights, or forced to answer any questions. None were taken into custody.
For instance, the opening line from the article:
“When the FBI approached the young women at the University of Minnesota, they said they didn't mind talking.”
Does this sound like abuse, or a case where Muslim Somali students are responding to legitimate FBI concerns? ..... Just what is CAIR’s game? ...

The gun culture is in turmoil right now, with no sign at all that panic buying and hoarding have run their course. Take a look at 9mm handguns on Gun Genie, a popular search site run by a major wholesaler. 215 different models are listed, only a handful are available. Even ammunition in this caliber is very hard to find, though millions of rounds are manufactured every day around the world.
The same is true of military style rifles, the notorious "assault weapons" of liberal myth and lore. This is all fueled by the fear that the Obama administration can, and soon will, either ban the sale of these weapons outright or put a prohibitive tax on them.
Is this paranoia or an excess of caution? There is no doubt at all that this administration is anti-gun, but their rhetoric on the subject has so far exceeded any real action by a pretty good margin. The assault weapons ban is a slam-dunk in liberal minds but even that has yet to be implemented. A general ban on handguns would be orders of magnitude more difficult to pass.

"At this point, it would not surprise us to wake up tomorrow and see conservative media fingering ACORN's 500,000 member families as the principle cause of global climate change," he said in a written statement.

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-'islām (help·info); pronounced [ɪs.ˈlæːm][note 1]) is a monotheistic, Abrahamic religion originating with the teachings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, a 7th century Arab religious and political figure.
They keep calling Mohammed a "prophet." What, exactly, did he prophesy? Moses, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, Zechariah, Micah, Jonah, Ezekiel, all prophesied of future events.
What makes Mohammed a "prophet"? Other than there are people who will cut your head off if you say he isn't.

It's going to be fine. It all came out of your own mind, so that's where the solution is. Deep cleansing breath.
I always find that when I'm stuck, backing up a few words, sentences, or paragraphs (depending on the degree of stuckness) and rewriting the parts that lead up to the sticky part helps a lot. Even though the preceding passage may be excellent in and of itself, it somehow led me astray and that's what needs fixing.

Your Tax Money at Work (the term "work" used very loosely).
Two United Nations agencies spent millions in U.S. money on substandard Afghanistan construction projects, including a central bank without electricity and a bridge at risk of "life threatening" collapse, according to an investigation by U.S. federal agents.
I wonder how much of the "millions" was actually spent on the project?

Maybe it was the kind of problems I worked out, like how to get from point a to point c. One example is, how to explain what is going on to the main character without sounding like the bad villains who tell their nemesis their evil plan instead of killing him first.

You know there is one civilian shipping line that has never been pirated at. It is ZIM:
There is one shipping line that has not been hit by the pirates. It is the ZIM Integrated Shipping Services. Why is this? Because the Israeli crews are armed, to protect themselves and their ship. The pirates are not interested in taking on a crew, perhaps all of which have served and been trained in the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). They, apparently, don’t need the navies of the world to protect their ships. If I were shipping by container through one of the pirate infested areas, that is the company I would use. Other shipping companies might take a lesson from ZIM.

Show is looking good. It's a Ray Clooney British farce, written in the 70's. It's like 2 1/2 hours of Benny Hill. Four doors, two windows, 5 women in various states of undress, inanimate objects being moved around, mistaken identities (like 5 of them), coy gay jokes, when they were "salty," (does every British farce have to equate sailors and gay jokes and Portsmouth), people hiding behind door, drapes and couches and so on.
The only thing missing in this Ray Clooney script is an excess of drinking, very little in the script.

This lady who had been married for several years was growing more and more frustrated at her husband's lack of interest in sex.
She wondered about ways to add some pizzazz to their sexual relationship, and finally decided to purchase some crotchless underwear she had seen in a lingerie shop.
One evening when she was feeling particularly desirous, and he was, as usual, watching television, she took a shower, freshened up, and donned the crotchless undies, and a slinky negligee.
She then strolled between her husband and the television, and suggestively tossed one leg up on his chair arm...
'Want some of this?' she purred.
'Are you shittin' me?' he replied..
'Look what it did to your underwear.'

Hong Kong Christens an Ark of Biblical Proportions
HONG KONG -- This city's three billionaire Kwok brothers have just the answer for the rising waters threatening the global economy: the world's first life-size replica of Noah's ark, built to biblical specifications off the coast of this recession-struck Chinese financial center.
The message in its 450-foot-long hull, its rooftop luxury hotel and 67 pairs of fiberglass animals: "The financial tsunami will be over," says Spencer Lu, the Kwoks' project director at Noah's Ark, which is opening soon.
The land-bound ark wasn't built in response to the current global turmoil; it has been in the planning for 17 years. But the financial storm provides a nice marketing hook for the Kwoks' ambitious project, which will probably need to lure visitors from beyond Hong Kong's city limits to be an economic success.

I was right.
Newsweek did its annual Christer-bashing, right on schedule, sure as the sun rises in the east.
Bozell column: The End of Newsweek?
Newsweek greeted the coming of Easter with a black cover, and the headline "The Decline and Fall of Christian America," spelled out in red in the shape of a cross. Inside, it was more declarative: "The End of Christian America." Why? Because they found that the percentage of self-identified Christians had fallen 10 points since 1990. Okay, then let’s compare. How much has Newsweek’s circulation fallen since 1990? Just since 2007, their announced circulation has dropped by 52 percent. It would be more plausible to state "The End of Newsweek."
One has to wonder whether Newsweek’s financial gurus really think it’s a smart business strategy to greet the Easter season with funerals for "Christian America," and greet the Christmas season by making the "religious case for gay marriage"? (That’s not to mention all the reverent Obama worship in between.)

NEW School prayer: -
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles...
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

In reptilian conspiracy literature, a sunken Pacific continent (usually styled as Lemuria or Mu) is sometimes posited as the homeland of a reptilian race of creatures, often identified with dragons or nagas. Various bits of mythology and folklore are assembled in support, such as the Cambodian naga traditions. Folkloric claims of Australian aborigines sighting "dinosaur-like" creatures are also often viewed as evidence.The earliest attestation of such notions in modern literature seems to have occurred in the works of H.P. Blavatsky, notably in The Secret Doctrine (1888), where she writes of "Dragon-men" who once had a mighty civilization on a Lemurian continent, until their rampant use of black magic brought about the end of their civilization, and their continent sank. Blavatsky in turn claims to have obtained this information from The Book of Dzyan. However, many beleive that Blavatsky invented the book herself. Blavatsky believed that the terms "Dragon-men" or "Serpent-men" used to describe the Lemurian Lizard Beings in the Book of Dzyan were symbolic, intended to symbolize their advanced knowledge and magical powers.
Other occurrences of the idea seem to be in the Alley Oop (1932) comic-strip, and the Brazilian Piteco (1964), where lands named Moo (or "Mu") and Lem (adapted from Mu and Lemuria respectively) are presented as dinosaur-infested lands. This matched H. P. Lovecraft's descriptions of the city of R'lyeh in his Cthulhu Mythos.
Our scoffing is therefore simply misdirection but I dare the proles to prove that.

That could explain why nobody initially moved when Beck's guest, Columbia professor David Buckner, passed out during Monday's interview.
Buckner, who was discussing the causes of bankruptcy when he lost consciousness, is reported to be doing fine, and even later had the energy to apologize to Beck for the scene. Beck responded, in typical Beck-ian fashion:

Obama Iraq Troop Greeting Allegedly Staged
MacsMind contends that the troop contingent was contrived, based on an e-mail he says he received "from a sergeant that was there." The corresponding sergeant also dropped a telltale clue (in bold):We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.Take a look at the picture at AP and notice all the cameras are the same models? Coincidence? I think not.

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO paperwork and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic. He went to the local technical college, signed up for classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could. When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks and completed the exam with tremendous skill.
When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the instructor, saying, "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade."
The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. "You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark."
After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the muffler, which I've never seen done in my entire life.

On a completely random note: Intel announced earnings of $0.11 per share - dismal by historical standards, but beating consensus expectations of $0.03 per share, a huge margin. Look for techs to spike tomorrow.
I sort of expect that this is how earnings season is going to go; expectations are horribly pessimistic and easy to beat, so the potential for at least some short-term gains seems strong.

As long as they do it within the "Halls of Congress" - OK. AND - criticism is NOT the Issue. Slander and Libel IS. Look at it it like this:
A. I believe that CAIR is beholden to the Islamic Brotherhood. This is NOT Actionable. Truth is a Positive Defense.
B. CAIR, and all of its members/contributors are Traitors. This IS Actionable.
It slanders members who might have NO IDEA of what might be the goals of an Organization that they adhere to because of their "birthright" faith in Islam.
Trust me on this one - my boss is a Sephardic Jew with an Arabic "Family Name" - He gets appeals asking for "Zakat" - i.e. Islamic Charity along with those asking for "T'zdakah" - Jewish Charity. Guess which ones HE contributes to? This is an EASY One.

OK the camergate link says
"Take a look at the picture at AP and notice all the cameras are the same models? Coincidence? I think not."
When you go the the link I provided, the camera are different. To believe this one, we have to assume:
The troops would not bring there own camera to a meeting with the POTUS, that the POTUS'
s staff bought and supplied a bunch of different cameras and loaned them to the troops, then gathered them back up.
Out of that whole deal, one soldier sends a e-mail home describing the scam, the rest keep the secret. If the right runs with this story, it'll turn out badly IMHO.

I agree the blame game played by democrats is disingenuous, when Democrats have controlled Congress since 2006, or nearly three years.
Still and all, it is difficult to be First Lady and have to be "perfect" in the ways we expect our first family to be.
Unlike the rest of us, Michelle can't get fat & be a couch potato when she feels like it.

Michelle Obama went from working woman to First Lady. She went from being the Alpha person, to a supporting role in which she is judge by her appearance, more than anything. It's a hard act. I appreciate the effort she is making.

re: #627 avanti
OK the camergate link says
"Take a look at the picture at AP and notice all the cameras are the same models? Coincidence? I think not."
When you go the the link I provided, the camera are different. To believe this one, we have to assume:The troops would not bring there own camera to a meeting with the POTUS, that the POTUS'
s staff bought and supplied a bunch of different cameras and loaned them to the troops, then gathered them back up.
Out of that whole deal, one soldier sends a e-mail home describing the scam, the rest keep the secret. If the right runs with this story, it'll turn out badly IMHO.
Avanti..Just drop it..There is no CameraGate.. I know for a fact that every Marine in the 3/5th has His/Her own personal digital camera with 2GB chips

re: #642 Catttt
The girls look a bit shy, which I think is a combination of walking the first dog (double meaning there!) and having all those people watching. It will perhaps take them a while to get used to having all those damn cameras everywhere.
Plus, these are lovely dogs - it's hard not to love them.
They just need some time out of the sight of cameras. Perhaps the biggest problem will be that the person best suited to handling the dog (POTUS) has the least time and travels the most. They'll do fine, I think. In any case, they have connections to trainers who can help them if they need it.

Depends on the meaning of working. Yes she had a job. Nothing she had to apply for. It was basically given to her for favors. And you forget she's been a politician's wife for some years. One would think she would have already learned how to operate in the public eye.

re: #39 MJBrutus
I would like to propose a unit of measure for our LGF Karma scores. We measure distance using miles as a shorthand to expressing all distances in feet, for example. We measure the heat of peppers using a unit of measure called Scovilles (Jalapenos are about 5k Scovilles and Serranos are about 10k).
I propose that we refer to our Karma using a new measure called Sharmutas! A Sharmuta is equal to 1,000 Karma points. That would put my Karma at about 0.7 Sharmutas. Sharmuta currently has about 75 Sharmutas to her Karmic credit.
Who's with me in establishing our new Karma yardstick?
In college (where else), one night while drinking we came up with the "stump ratio" (we may not have been the first, but we were the first that night). The "stump ratio" was simply a person's height divided by a person's width (H/W). Taller, skinner people had high "stump ratios" (H>W, or H/W>1). Stump ratios less than 1 were fun for conversation. Anyway, the point of this is that I've thought about this before and the same thing could be done with a ratio, say Karma points/comments (K/C). Sharmuta, for example, would have a K/C ratio of 1.42 (base on post #443).
Then you could develop a scale. Anyone with K/C>1 means they have more Karma points than comments (superhero). For the other end of the spectrum, spacejesus would be a -2.26 (even with the 55 updings last night).
Just a thought.

Taliban Execute Couple Seeking to Elope
KABUL (April 14) - A Taliban firing squad killed a young couple in southwestern Afghanistan for trying to elope, shooting them with AK-47s in front of a crowd in a lawless, militant-controlled region, officials said Tuesday.
The woman, 19-year-old Gul Pecha, and the man, 21-year-old Abdul Aziz, were accused by the militants of immoral acts, and a council of conservative clerics decided that the two should be killed, officials said.
The two had hoped to travel to Iran, which borders their home province of Nimroz, but their parents sent villagers to bring them home, said Sadiq Chakhansori, the chief of the provincial council.
Once back home, the pair was either turned over to the Taliban by their parents or the militants took them by force, the officials said, providing slightly varying accounts.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
. Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
In murk sunset and foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Looking up at paradise
All souls bound just contrariwise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of 'em good and true
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold
With a ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot of stuff untold,
And they lay there that took the plum
With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
More was seen through a sternlight screen...
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid
That dared the knife and took the blade
By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Chavez is continuing to consolidate all state power in his own hands, taking it from Venezuela's state governors and big city mayors.

Since the thread downstairs is mostly dead, I am reposting.
I may get dinged for this, but there has always been a bit of hypocrisy coming from DHS issues.
The founding fathers were very frightened of the slippery slope to tyranny. In order to prevent this, amongst many other things, they came up with forbidding the government from doing illegal search and seizure. American citizens were to expect that their private lives, private communications and private spaces were to be private. The government would not be allowed to just label or punish someone without a fair trial.
I was opposed to warrantless wiretapping and many of the things that DHS does from the start. Back when the GOP violated the constitution, I read endless accounts here about, "well I have nothing to hide... let them look... they are looking for terrorists. OK."
Do you still have nothing to hide? Why don't you trust the government to look into your affairs and put labels on you without court oversight now? I am not writing this to be a prick. The government certainly needs to be able to enforce the law and keep tabs on the bad guys - however, they need to obey the law when they do it.
I am writing this to say it was bad then and it is bad now. If you are only nowgetting freaked out all of a sudden, the only difference is that you think that Obama is your foe, whereas you trusted Bush more. The founding fathers would not have trusted themselves with the powers we have granted the federal government. Our side started the trip down this slope.
The good news is that actually tracking neo-nazis is a good thing. The bad news is the fact that we still do not have transparency in how that happens legally and it will be very difficult to turn back the clock if and when an American government decides to abuse the power we so gleefully gave it.

I've never seen it. Strange because I LOVE old movies -especially from that era. It's one of those films I never seem to catch from the beginning or I'm not in the right mood. Someday.
Wizard of Oz was better imo

The absolutely most un-PC product ever made and still on the market. Candy Cigarettes. (That is assuming you can't buy those giant wax lips anymore. ) Hard to believe that was common stuff back in the day.

Pirates Attack U.S.-Flagged Ship Off Somali Coast in Unsuccessful New Hijacking Attempt
Tuesday, April 14, 2009
PrintShareThis
Pirates attacked an American-flagged ship Tuesday in an unsuccessful new hijacking attempt off of the coast of Somalia.
After being attacked, the Liberty Sun, with a crew of about 20 Americans, reached out to the U.S. Coast Guard which resulted in the eventual dispatch of the USS Bainbridge, which arrived several hours later after the pirates had already left.
It was not immediately clear if the Liberty Sun was flying the flag at the time of the assault.
These are either very crazy pirates or really stupid pirates or fanatics. And none of those categories are mutually exclusive.

Of course it was "common stuff" - we were not "Politically Correct" in those days - AND - furthermore - "in the day" - THE LEFT, actually was in FAVOR of freedom of expression. My how things have changed.

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten
Well, that's a bit morbid. I much prefer:
♪♫
There was a young sailor
Who looked through the glass,
And spied a fair mermaid
With scales on her
Island where seagulls
Fly down to their nests
She combed the long hair
That hung over her
Shoulders and caused her
To tickle and itch.
The sailor cried out:
"There's a beautiful
Mermaid, a-sitting out
There on the rocks!"
The crew came a-runnin',
And whipped out their
Glasses, and crowded
Four deep at the rail,
All eager to share
In this fine piece of
News, which the captain
Soon heard from the watch.
He tied down the wheel
And he grabbed at his
Crackers and cheese which
He kept near the door,
In case he'd encounter
A ravenous
Mermaid -- He knew he must
Use all his wits
Crying "Throw out a line.
And we'll lasso her
Flippers, And then we
Will certainly find
If mermaids are better
Before or
Be brave, my good fellows!"
The captain then said.
"With fortune we'll break
Through her mermaiden... "
...heading to starboard
They tacked with dispatch.
And caught that poor mermaid
Just under her
Elbows, and hustled her
Down below decks,
Where each took a turn
At her feminine
Setting her free at
The end of the farce,
She splashed in the waves,
Falling flat on her
After a while, one man
Noticed some scabs,
And soon they broke out
With the pox and the
Scratching with fury,
And cursing with spleen,
This song may be dull
But it's certainly clean!
♪♫

its your thumbs bumping the touch pad.
disable 'tap to click'
i hate that crap....
Man, I am so with you on that. That tapping feature ain't a feature, it's a bug.
And while you're in Control Panel, slide over to "Sounds and Audio Devices" and select "none" as your sound scheme. Gets rid of all those dorky noises that Windows makes. No reason that your computer has to sound like a one-man band with dysentery.

You can still find those giant wax lips if you look around -- the difference is they're now called something innocuous like "fun lips," instead of using a gratuitous racial or ethnic slur.
