Yeah, well, what if he's a shapeshifting android? Shouldn't you be able to hack his software, shift him into your favorite shape, and then re-program him to be your dream guy?
Works for me.
Except that I want to be able to shape shift, too. Easier than dieting.
Actually that's more of a lunch thing. Followed by a nap.
How are your spirits (personal, not potable), DF?
I'm pulling for you, my man!
I'm all right. I've got expenses under control and I've got several more interviews already lined up. Things should go well. I'm not greatly worried right now.

So the "Nay Spray" doesn't work on the androids, only the possibly "reptilian" shape shifters? Huh, good try, but I think I'll hold off until you come up with a product that works for both!
/what, you think I just fell off the turnip truck?
Ahh... now it seem familiar. I've not been to Wizbang in quite a while. Back in their early days, when I was in Japan, I would check them out sometimes. Now I don't even bother.
DU is in itself a troll site, full of the nastiest variety of leftist, the refuse of the Kos and HuffPo since those places cleaned house.
Oh totally agree. I've checked them out maybe twice. Total derangement. It's the Free Republic of the left.
I only know about the BunnyThief business there because when Charles busted Jay Tea I checked him on Wizbang and the moron had bragged about his exploits there and posted some of them himself. Think CJ mentioned it too at the time. Didn't even have to go to DU myself.
Hey everybody, just passing through after a nice day. The sunny weatther (finally!) here and a great day with some friends in Baltimore has made me pretty damn happy.
Yup. Kind of like some Conservative sites have become. Sites of refuge for the intractable. Pitiful on both sides of the aisle.
Yup. Plus I think when the troofers and antisemites started getting the boot at Kos and HuffPo they all flocked there. IIRC it was already a home for major BDS in any case.

Agreed, that's what I was saying. When you clear the nuts off of a site, they don't just simply log off the internet. They go to another site or set one up. DU has become a dumping ground for leftist who cannot adapt and change with the times. It can best be described as a tar pit for preserving fossils.
Just an asshole who still he BDS. As pathetic as a teabagger, but less dangerous.
You are bang on with that post. I am starting to get *real* uncomfortable with some of those folks. If threat = action, we have more than Radical Islam to worry about.

haha I'm pretty sure a couple of my acquaintances on Livejournal are on DU, since they link to it. They're usually the ones that I argue with that are to the left of me.

I rest my case. And since its 1AM, it's time for me to get my rest. Sleep well, all.

You know what actually drove me more crazy than the impeach bush stuff (and that did drive me crazy, impeachment is not for lying about oral gratification or war policies you don't like) was the HE STOLED THE ELECTSHUN!!11 crap from 2000 that hung around for EIGHT...LONG...YEARS... I don't ever want to hear "selected, not elected" ever never ever again.

I went there a couple times and the crazy just lept of the internets at me. It was fun to read as a "lookit the hard core weirdos!" sort of thing. Enjoyable the same way I enjoy seeing gigantic flamewars about video games on Steam.

And they don't need visas or passports.
Remember "Poltergeist"? "They're hee-ere."
Though I suppose if they're CURRENTLY preoccupied with impeaching Bush, we don't have much to worry about. 'Yes, sir! You get right on impeaching bush! We'll be over here, looking at you in the padded cell through the small window."
Heh, so much for going to bed...
All nighters FTW :)
That's my daily life! Stay up till 6am, go to bed, wake up at uhhh 1pm, repeat. The brain wants to make art at 3 in the morning, I don't have a choice but to follow along!
Well, I'm biased, you see. Used Steam when it was debuted... never used it since.
:)
Oh GOD. It's SO MUCH BETTER NOW. I remember those days. Though I also remember Valve's broken netcode for Half-Life when it was released. Ahh, the 90's.
One day, there's just gonna be games you can't get anywhere else but Steam. As it is, Supreme Commander 2 has an exclusive on Steam. And the deals on Steam now! Holy Christ the deals. Like 2 dozen THQ games for the price of a milkshake or some shit. Classics from only a couple years ago for five bucks.
And a proper version of X-Com that runs under XP and Vista!

Not to mention that "Impeach Bush" would have given us...President Dick Cheney. Sometimes people don't think things through.

Yikes. Looks like us Dallas folks are going to pass the record for annual snowfall totals tonight. From the amount that's fallen so far, and the rate its currently falling at, we may get 3-4 inches tonight before all is said and done.
Craziest winter I remember for at least the past 20 years.
Wow, Politico really is a pile of shit. Here is some of their coverage of today's events: (no link)
House Republicans begin victory lap
As Democrats frantically tried to cobble together votes to pass their sweeping health care reform legislation Saturday, House Republicans began a victory lap of sorts.
[...]
And when they emerged from the room to speak to the media and a crush of video cameras, House Republican leaders were met by a boisterous crowd of citizens screaming “kill the bill” and nodding in unison to their promises to continue the fight to derail the legislation.
Huh. If by 'boisterous' they mean screaming racial slurs, homophobic epithets, and spitting on Dems, then yeah. Boisterous.
Saturday’s schedule gives an idea of how confident Republicans are feeling.
been working on my grandsons guitar...a full sized Telecaster made out of wood...except for the tuning pegs...red maple body, white pick guard, redwood neck...pretty cool looking if I must say so

Sounds like a fun project! Are you gonna post pics of the finished product?
If you do the math right and consider the right technicalities, Gore did win. It's not closed for debate.
I think the greater scandal is that someone can carry the popular vote but still win by way of the electoral vote period.
Yeah, I know all that and agree with you on all points. My only point was that once the SCOTUS decision was over, that's it for all intents and purposes. For quite a few people, the topic was coming up over and over again, for 8 years, to such an extent that you couldn't talk about other political issues. Like say the Patriot Act. And that got old.

I'm not going to argue with you there. The BBV/Bev Harris contingent got particularly old..

The Patriot Act, the creation of Homeland Security, the countless security schemes, the billions of dollars that disappeared in Iraq, the WMDs, etc. A deficit that was already massive then and set new records. Stuff I didn't really give much thought back then.
The WSJ Real Time Economics blog has posted the letters for and against the health care reform bill winding through Congress. The most interesting thing about the lists of signatories is the geographical divide. It was so interesting, I did a fast tabulation (so, don't quote me on it), and what one finds is that of the list in favor, only 2 of 41 economists are affiliated with institutions in the South (defined using the most restrictive definition in this Wikipedia page -- so to be completely accurate, I haven't used the actual Mason-Dixon line). Of the 131 signatories to the against letter, 40 are affiliated with institutions in the South, i.e., essentially 30% of the total.

Some of it I paid attention to, and a lot of it I didn't. At least, not until 2004-5.
In many respects the whole country underwent a kind of fever dream in the wake of 9-11. We've been slowly pulling out of it.

Well, not sure if I should say anything now since I got up from a failed nap and now drinking coffee. It's just interesting to compare seeing all these people suddenly concerned about the growth of government. That is when the government was already growing in the first place but for other uses.

Right, exactly. You made the point really well downstairs in the HCR thread. I feel similarly about the people who are now incredibly concerned about the use of criminal trials for terrorists-- when that's what we've done before.
In some cases people's instant reversal is due to mere ignorance of the facts, which can be corrected.
In others, it's willful ignorance.
You can reach the first group, but not the second.

The hysteria surrounding HCR is largely manufactured but also reflect an innate characteristic of that segment of the population. It's difficult to grasp in some circumstances because while at the same time one will find anti-government sentiment that seems to contradicts their own pro-government sentiment regarding miltarism and an ad hoc police state -- the latter of which could be seen as "law and order" voters. There are those that are against bot elements of the government which are primarily Libertarians.
Nice, I recently picked up a nice Fender Jazz Bass rather cheap. The guy I bought it from said, "It's either sell it or live in it." We are good friends and agreed on a fair price. I told him he can buy it back for the same price I paid when he gets back on his feet so it's pretty much a loan and the bass is collateral. I have an old 70's Gibson Ripper that's my #1 but it's nice to have something else to jam with.

You're a good person. :D That's a problem with me being a drummer who has an electronic kit: it's like a computer, it's disposable hardware, it'll never have the history a great guitar or bass will. (I have an electronic kit so I won't be evicted, hah)
