Damn...I remember awhile back catching an episode of TLC's Extreme Machines where they took a look at Canadian Pacific's mainline over (and through) the Canadian Rockies.

[The first 35 seconds are overlap from a previous segment]

That included them rolling out some brand new SD90MACs that were being assembled from kits in CPRs Calgary shops, which looked like their pride and joy.

Now I see that some of those same locomotives, after barely logging a decade's service with Canadian Pacific, are up for sale.

Hey there honcos. I put this on an earlier thread but will repeat here. I joined a fun photo contest where 100 of us locals have until the end of the month to take 27 pictures with a disposable camera. All part of a photography show on labor day. I went to the equestrian center to get a horse picture and what did I find! A pinto mare and her little baby colt. I am so hoping that picture came out. I spent 40 minutes there waiting for them to come close enough.

re: #23 freetoken

I was just thinking about that the other day. Terrible.

I've been waiting for one of our "sekret" threads to post this but back at the beginning of the troubles in Iran I was looking at twitter a lot. At that point, my subject matter was "Tehran". Some twitter person was posting over and over that Michael Jackson was dead. This was a couple of weeks before he died. I think I even jokingly mentioned it here on LGF but it's been kind of bothering me now, thinking back. No doubt it was just some type of airhead who was bored with the "Tehran" subject but it keeps crossing my mind.

Resigns?

Here's A Sam Clemens story, from memory:
A woman goes to her doctor and tells him of all of her health problems. The doctor listens patiently and advises her: " You must stop smoking, drinking and keeping late hours."
She replies, "Doctor! I don't do any of those things!"
The doctor says, "That's you problem! You're neglecting you're habits! You're a sinking ship with nothing to throw overboard!"

How strange. Somehow increased taxation that results in more spending by government is 'stimulus.'

Talk about a fricken rabbit hole.

Hawaii Legislature overrides 34 vetoes
State Rep. Hermina Morita, D-14th (Hanalei, Anahola, Kapa'a), said she was disappointed. The barrel tax increase – from 5 cents to $1.05 – would have bumped the per gallon price of gasoline by a few cents but would have provided the state an estimated $31 million a year for food and energy-security programs.

"This could have been viewed as an economic stimulus, redirecting monies that we send out of the state for reinvestment in the state," Morita said.

Besides, it’s delicious watching Republicans go after Democrats for being too emotional and irrational given the G.O.P. shame spiral.

W. and Dick Cheney made all their bad decisions about Iraq, W.M.D.’s, domestic surveillance, torture, rendition and secret hit squads from the gut, based on false intuitions, fear, paranoia and revenge.

Sarah Palin is the definition of irrational, a volatile and scattered country-music queen without the music. Her Republican fans defend her lack of application and intellect, happy to settle for her emotional electricity.

While appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Buchanan said:

BUCHANAN: “Well, first, with regard to Levi, I think First Dude up there in Alaska, Todd Palin, ought to take Levi down to the creek and hold his head underwater until the thrashing stops.“

Time’s Mark Halperin then quipped: “That’s a reality show, right there.” The macabre humor was dark enough that MSNBC felt the need to follow-up with a disclaimer from Mika Brzezinski: “Just to clarify Pat’s incredible statement about Levi: Morning Joe does not advocate any violence against Levi Johnston, nor anyone else related to the Palin story.”

I don't think the MSM as a whole is 'the enemy of conservatives'. Even if an individual journalist is liberal, the same can't be said of the people who own the media or control the programming. Look at the sunday morning shows-- their idea of 'balance' is to have two Republicans come on to criticise a Dem policy.

I have no love for the media, believe me, but I think our chattering classes are more invested in vacuous non-stories and retaining access to whoever is in power. At the moment they love Obama, but that could change at any time. (They loved Bush in his first term, and they used to love McCain too.)

They're lazy and their empty gestures at 'reporting' do us all a disservice. Not only conservatives.

re: #86 iceweasel

You don't think the obsessing over the cost of Palin's wardrobe during the election, the notion that guns from America are soley responsible for the narcoinsurgency in Mexico, the trial-by-media of the Haditha Marines, whitewashing of 0bama's affiliation with Ayers and Wright or the non-coverage of the Little Rock recruiting center shooting could be viewed as going after things conservatives are sympathetic towards if not overtly hostile towards conservatives themselves?

The media still loved Bush after 9/11. I can find you loads of people, including Chris Matthews most infamously, waxing rhapsodic over Bush when he landed on that carrier for the "Mission Accomplished" speech in 2003. The things Tweety said then were just as cringe-inducing as when he made that comment about Obama and the leg tingle.

Also, throughout Bush's first term the media over-all continued the process of reporting WH press releases as though they were reporting news. (they're still doing that now with Obama)

I don't see an anti-conservative bias so much as I see the media being frivolous, shallow, self-obsessed, and lazy.

No, I don't. I could easily give you a list of similar media obsessions, non-stories promoted (cost of Edwards' haircuts? Michelle Obama's sneakers?), and real stories overlooked in ways that harm 'the left' or Democrats.

"Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left," adding, "I mean, like him personally." [Hardball, 11/28/05]

Before Bush had even delivered his November 30 speech at the U.S. Naval Academy, Matthews used variations of the word "brilliant" twice to describe it, while deriding Democratic critics of the Iraq war as "carpers and complainers." [MSNBC live coverage, 11/30/05]

They're going nuts on the latest on the Cook case, meaning that his orders for deployment have been revoked?

Or the fact that he has a history as a Freeper, a prior connection with Orly Taitz, and the fact that this whole lawsuit is looking like a scam-- given that he volunteered for deployment, most likely in order to bring the lawsuit in the first place?

Thanks to this guy's antics, either the troops he would have been deployed with will now be one person down, or someone else is going to get called up in a hurry with much less time to make arrangements & say goodbye to loved ones.

It'll be a rude awakening for the nirthers, but then confronting reality is not their strong point.

I remember hearing about how an RV owner called the police when a would-be thief tried siphoning off some gas, but instead stuck the siphon hose in the RV's septic system.

Officer: Would you like to file a report?
RV Owner: Nah- I thought it was fucking hilarious, so I'd share that with you...

Good morning all.
Random thoughts from my crystal ball:
Obama's honeymoon will be over by September.
The health care boondoggle will fail to pass the House.
Unemployment rates will continue to rise.
Cap and trade doesn't pass the Senate in anything close to its current form.
Sotomayor is confirmed with far less than Roberts- like support- 68 votes, maybe.
Obama's response to a couple of nasty international crises in August/ September drives his poll numbers off the cliff and breaks open a flood of criticism from the MSM and from Democrats.
By late September there will be serious and solid media stories on Obama's perpetual campaign (e.g. the artificial Town Hall meetings,) and his campaign's Internet fundraising.

Less likely: The GOP actually finds a voice and shows some responsible opposition leadership.

Disclaimer: I thought Rudy Giuliani would be President now.

re: #187 Jim in Virginia

I'd endorse the above. Cap &trade will definitely be savaged in the Senate. Some form of health care reform will limp out eventually, but lord knows what it will be. Unemployment will continue to go up, I think-- but if I remember right, unemployment is the last index to improve in a recession/depression.

Sotomayor will be confirmed.

I'd also look for the Obama honeymoon to end around August/Sept because, if I remember this correctly, 7 months is about the length of the honeymoon period for modern presidencies.

re: #185 Gus 802

It was kind of funny...they pulled up ahead of me and waited for me to approach them as I was walking down one of the streets in Russian Hill. The first street light I walked under, they could clearly see that I was carrying camera equipment, not firearms. I didn't even break stride and they just left, although I could hear static-ey radio chatter about a 'possible armed man' in the vicinity, which I guess was me.

Al Franken is going to be a HUGE gift to the 2010 Republican Senate campaigns.
From NRO's Campign Spot:

The newest senator began by saying that he was surprised Sotomayor wanted to become a prosecutor from watching Perry Mason, since the prosecutor, Berger, lost every week except one. He concluded, "What was the one case in Perry Mason that Berger won?" After saying that she couldn't remember the name of the episode or the case, Franken asked Sotomayor, "Didn't the White House prepare you for these hearings?"

A little on the silly side for a guy who needs to show the rest of the country that Minnesota still takes its representation in Washington seriously.

Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.
