The cover of this book isn’t one of the best preserved in the Lizard Collection, but the interior’s in excellent shape, the pages are still very white, and the inks are vivid — X-Men #2, featuring the Vanisher, published in November 1963.

This actually causes me just a touch of sadness. 15 years or so ago, I actually had a long cardboard comics-storage box, complete with all of Spawn, Gen-x, etc. Then I got unemployed and box of comics got sold for a song to a comics store. Now, I satisfy my cravings by checking out stuff from the Graphic Novels section of the library. Yesterday, it was Livy’s History of Rome Shelby Foote’s Civil War trilogy, and the first two volumes of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which is far, FAR better than the movie. I’m assuming that combination of media check-out probably sends a signal to one of the quantum computers buried under Fort Meade. It’s undoubtedly crunching through my potential threat status this evening.

Or that bumper sticker you see on the next Subaru driving by, an Obama bumper sticker. You should stop the driver and say, “So how is that hopey, changey thing working out for you?”
One comment I saw mentions that in places like Texas, vehicular harassment can be countered by deadly force.
So will she be abashed and take responsibility if some terrified Obama supporter from Austin blows the face off a leering Palinite who’s trying to force her off the road?

My parents were pretty strict about the TV, we didn’t watch much, were forced to go outside and roam the neighborhood. As for reading, were stuck with what they had in the house, Faulkner, Hemingway, Dickens, Emile Zola, Alexandre Dumas, PG Wodehouse, junk like that.
I will say this - I had access to and familiarity with a wider range of writers than anybody I was in school with. I was never sure how much good it ever did me ‘til the Roi & I went to a recent HS mini-reunion, and he told me later that he realized that I was the classiest one among all the women there.

Really?
Her words:
Or that bumper sticker you see on the next Subaru† driving by, an Obama bumper sticker. You should stop the driver and say, “So how is that hopey, changey thing working out for you?”
She didn’t say “the next time you see one in a parking lot”. No - driving by. You should stop them.
And I think she and her army of advisers think very, very carefully about how her words ought to be interpreted, and she speaks them with full knowledge of potential consequences.
I for one am getting mighty tired of all the “they didn’t mean it that way” ducking and weaving whenever the right brings out another veiled threat of civil mayhem or violence.
†And why specifically a Subaru? Maybe because that’s not what “real Americans” drive? Playing to a bit of xenophobia and class prejudice there, maybe? Nah, not our dear little Sarah!

Apart from that, we all know that if there’s anything people of all stripes just absolutely adore, it’s being subjected to smug self-righteous attempts at mockery by complete strangers, unsolicited and out of the blue.
It sure worked when all the “Chimpy McHaliburton Bu$hitler” idiots tried it, didn’t it?

I answered that objection. Overwhelmingly, you’re right. When it comes to clearly politically motivated crimes, it is obviously informative to see what influences played into the perp’s worldview and frame of mind.
Does this mean that if the Hutarees were obsessed with Ron Paul, they’re Ron Paul’s fault? No, but probably tells us a lot about them.
You really think what you’re saying makes sense? That taking the political influences of political criminals into account is the same as routinely checking to see if the guy who stabbed his buddy voted Obama or McCain?

I for one am getting mighty tired of all the “they didn’t mean it that way” ducking and weaving whenever the right brings out another veiled threat of civil mayhem or violence.

There is no “army of advisors”. I’d be surprised if it was more than 3 guys and Sarah siting in a motor home in a Walmart parking lot. She is totally out of her league (much more so than Obama). The right has no clue what they are doing. They have put zero thought into the ramifications of their words and actions.

Thanks a fucking lot wingnuts.
That does assume that she is more than just a gadfly now. The RNC would be fools to put her up as a candidate. The QUITTER label is too easy to invoke against her and it should be obvious that it makes her unelectable for POTUS. I don’t see anything being done to blunt that criticism of her.

I think the record label expects the rock-star to throw furniture out of the window. It’s part of the act, it draws the crowds, it gets him in the tabloids, and up goes the bottom line.

OK, I looked
The Shark Episode:
The Shark episode or Mudshark incident was an alleged event which took place at the Edgewater Inn in Seattle, Washington, on 28 July 1969, involving Richard Cole, a road manager for English rock band Led Zeppelin, and members of the American psychedelic rock band Vanilla Fudge. The bands were in Seattle for their appearance at the Seattle Pop Festival at Gold Creek Park on 27 July 1969,[1] and were staying at the Edgewater Inn. This hotel, now known as the Edgewater Hotel, is located directly on Puget Sound, and at the time allowed guests to fish directly from their room windows.[2]
The Edgewater Hotel on Elliott Bay. Guests were once allowed to fish from the windows.The Shark episode is alleged to have involved some type of sexual act with a fish. However, there are many variations on the story, all involving one or some of the band members, as well as variations of the type of fish (often claimed to be a shark or mudshark), and the nature of the acts performed.

re: #302 windsagio
Found it:
Zappa’s “Mudshark” only gets a single sentence? Shameful!
There’s a motel in Seattle, Washington, called the Edgewater Inn. The Edgewater Inn is built out on a pier, so that means that when you look out your window you don’t see any dirt, it’s got a bay or something out in your backyard.
And to make it even more interesting, in the lobby of the aforementioned motel there’s a bait and tackle shop where the residents can go down and, whenever they want to, rent a fishing pole and some preserved minnows and schlep back up to their rooms, open the window, stick their little pole outside and within a few minutes actually catch a fish of some sort that they can bring into their motel room and do whatever they want with it, you know what I mean?
Now in this bay there’s quite a variety of fish! Not only do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopusses that you can catch. And all of these denizens of the deep can come in real handy.
Let’s say you were a traveling Rock and Roll band called The Vanilla Fudge. Let’s say one night you checked into the Edgewater Inn with an 8mm movie camera. Enough money to rent a pole, and just to make it more interesting, a succulent young lady, with a taste for the bizarre.
My mind drifts back… to a meeting, a chance meeting in the Chicago O’Hare Airport…
Where the members of The Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston about a home movie they made at the Edgewater Inn… with a mud shark!
And I’m gonna tell you, this dance, the Mud Shark, is sweeping the ocean!
So it goes.

One of the enduring fixtures of SNL is how much it sucks now, compared to how it used to be. No matter what year it is, someone is always pining for the way it used to be. I remember watching an episode when the show wasn’t five years old. They had the first head writer, Michael O’Donoghue, come back for a guest skit. In it, he jibed about how the show had gone downhill since he left, to much applause from the studio audience.

Found at Right Wing Watch
Finally, where you do suppose Republicans are getting all these bizarre ideas about President Obama?
A Harris poll released on March 24 found that a majority of Republican respondents believe that President Obama “is a socialist,” “wants to take away Americans’ right to own guns,” “is a Muslim,” “wants to turn over the sovereignty of the United States to a one world government,” and “has done many things that are unconstitutional.” The findings follow a year of such smears and attacks on Obama by conservatives.
This poll was also covered at Little Green Footballs:

Since they are part of this group peer pressure also plays a part when they interact as friends. The you have the natural conspiracy type personalities of Dick Morris, Glenn Beck, G Gordon Liddy, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, etc. I would call it a result of a collective conscious since I believe they’re consciously engaging in this rhetoric.

Child Witches: Accused in the Name of Jesus
Bobby and Henock were brought to this pastor by their stepmother, who said she believes her stepsons are witches and claimed the boys were stealing their stepsister’s blood and using it to fly at night. Pointing to Henock, whose left arm is covered in bandages, she said that, in the “spirit world,” he is an elderly man who injured himself while trying to kill his father. The boys’ father was not present; he was out of town on work and apparently unaware of the ceremony.
In a small, squeaky voice, Bobby said that family members had told him he and his brother were infected with witchcraft after eating bread and green beans their older brother gave them.

re: #482 austin_blue
My pleasure. Facts are facts.
My mom and I have been talking doughnut holes lately. I found this (may have been another link)
The alternative to private insurance is Medicare Part D, the government’s prescription drug program.
One key drawback is what’s known as the doughnut hole. This is a gap in prescription drug coverage that forces many retirees to pay for some of their prescription drugs out of their own pockets.*
It’s a well-known problem that was addressed in the reform legislation by providing a $250 rebate for seniors this year, and a 50 percent discount on brand-name drugs next year. By 2020 the Medicare drug gap will be completely closed.
*They should have mentioned the cost of these meds is astronomical.

I hear President Obama was golfing last week and he had 150 yards to the green over a water hole. He pulls out an 8 iron, and his golfing partner says, “That’s 150 yards…you can’t hit the green with an 8 iron!”
President Obama said, “If Tiger Woods can do it, so can I. Yes I can.”
So he lines up, hits the ball perfectly, and it lands in the middle of the pond. So, being perfect and all, he walks out on the water looking for his ball…
While he’s looking the next group of golfers walk up and say, “Who is that?”
“President Obama” replies one of the Secret Service Agents. “Who does he think he is, Jesus Christ?”
“No,” says the SS Agent…he thinks he’s Tiger Woods.

Attention, TV-watching people: Is there anything I should be paying attention to?
The only current TV shows I bother with are LOST, SOUTH PARK, and HOUSE. I understand that ABC is trying to revive “V” - I find that interesting, but I’m a severely easy sell when it comes to sci-fi. I figure it will probably suck, but I’m willing to give it several episodes worth of chances nevertheless.
I thought (and still think) that “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” was on the verge of becoming legendary when the Fox suits pulled the plug. True, it stumbled lots and lots right out of the gate, but consider that “CHEERS” was dead last in the ratings for two seasons in a row, and eventually went on to become a household name.
Oh, never mind.

Obama to Set Plan on Offshore Drilling
WASHINGTON—The Obama administration is expected Wednesday to unveil a long-awaited five-year national offshore oil and natural-gas drilling plan, which may include new drilling off the Virginia coast.
The plan is expected to say when and where companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp., ConocoPhillips and Royal Dutch Shell PLC can explore off the coasts of long-proven oil states such as Texas, Alaska and Louisiana. It also is expected to open new offshore areas to exploration between 2012 and 2017.
Industry officials say the administration is likely to offer a lease sale for exploration blocks off the Virginia coast. This section had been previously set for a 2011 lease sale before the White House pulled it from the program last year. They also expect the plan to include a timeline for seismic surveys to assess potential resources in the Atlantic and a schedule for decisions on possible future lease sales off the U.S. East Coast.

Newt Gingrich
“Drill Here. Drill Now.” is an American political slogan coined on May 20, 2008 by former speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich and his American Solutions organization to advocate for increased use of America’s domestic energy resources to help lower the cost of oil.

You have to be able to know what’s going on and stay on top of them, for sure. Oftentimes, people are on their own. Kinda reminds me of dealing with tech support if you think about it! (It’s not our fault, it’s their fault. Did you read your contract? We don’t cover that…)
Whenever you go for an appointment, call the insurance and find out what they’ll cover, and what will be your out-of-pocket liability, and when & how & to whom payments will be made. Make them repeat it if you don’t understand. Get the name of the person you spoke to. Then wait an hour and call back, and go through the same routine with someone different, just to be sure they’ve got it together on their end. Stuff can’t help but be complicated, but it doesn’t have to be surprising.

Interesting factoid here… tell me this ain’t worth $10,000.00.
Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) is a blood product administered intravenously. It contains the pooled IgG (immunoglobulin (antibody) G) extracted from the plasma of over one thousand blood donors.

True. I’ve been pretty harsh on Republicans these days but did some reading on the (previously) Republican ideas that made it into Obama’s healthcare bill. The mandate for buying insurance and the national exchange were originally Republican ideas. They are probably good ideas. Republicans aren’t bad heartless people, they’ve just become confused.

For the real hard-core science nerds out there: I’ve been viewing the recordings from this weeks Exoplanets Rising: Astronomy and Planetary Science at the Crossroads at UCSB. Some of the presentations are approachable by the layman with at least a minimal astronomy background.
Exoplanetology is a hot topic right now, with lots of discoveries pouring in. Some of the discoveries are very challenging for the planet theorists.
We’re probably a couple of years away from when one of the research groups (likely working with the Kepler satellite data) announces an Earth-type (mass, density, nitrogen atmosphere with trace water and CO2) planet in star’s habitable zone, but that time is coming. It will be a red-letter day in the field of science, though it will likely also be a day of angst in certain corners of the American culture.

Tough call. I think we can also add Jindal and Pawlenty.
The was I see it Palin, Huckabee, and Paul (most definitely) are not going to be good in polling. Jindal and Pawlenty will do much better. Romney shouldn’t be counted out. He still has that stage presence that can win voters. I think he’s going to run. He has the money (his own) and with the recent Citizen’s United ruling he’ll be able to attract more cash then he did in 2008. He will run contrary to the complaining of the Tea Bagging contingent and in general he will be forgiven for his past history regarding abortion and RomneyCare. So the top three will be Jindal, Pawlenty and Romney.

The theory is that all costs are spread out and shared. This HCR will not mean that people will have to directly pay for another’s insurance. The same can be said with gun ownership. There is a government infrastructure in place that supports gun ownership. This also includes wildlife management for hunting purposes. So in many ways modern day gun sportsmanship and ownership benefits from the government.

Right. But in the example of hunting a lot of people pay taxes to support fish and game projects that they never benefit from or utilize. What would happen if they decided to reject sustaining such projects? This includes a lot of state and Federal projects. Then you have to factor in law enforcement costs required for the management of gun ownership in the general population. There are legal aspects. When someone even get injured or maimed accidentally those costs are factored into societal costs in monetary terms.

I don’t know if this is helpful to you.
Q. I don’t have health insurance. How soon will the new law help me?
The answer depends on your age and reasons for not having insurance. If you haven’t had insurance for six months, and you can’t afford or don’t qualify for insurance because of a pre-existing medical problem, you may be eligible for a new federal “high risk” pool to be offered by the end of June.
The cost of the monthly premiums hasn’t been announced, but the rates are to be based on a “standard population,” suggesting they will be based on a healthier group than typically used to calculate premiums for high-risk plans. On average, an enrollee won’t pay more than 35 percent of covered benefits, and annual out-of-pocket costs won’t be more than $5,950 for individuals and $11,900 for families. In addition, there are no lifetime limits — meaning the policy won’t be canceled if someone requires expensive medical treatment.

re: #855 Floral Giraffe
I don’t know. I feel very hopeless in this whole conversation.
I would very much like to have access to good health care, but there is only so much money for it.What percent of your income/budget is available for healthcare?
What percent are you currently paying?
well, I have an entire JOB I am at just for the health care. and my health care at that job still costs me around $250 a month. My income varies a lot depending on what contract I’m on. If I had affordable HC that was portable (say around $500 a month?) then i could afford to quit the day job and just do my art and freelance/contract work full time.

I’m not of the belief that we should all be walking around armed to the teeth. And I say that as a gun owner.
Agreed.I’ll get a gun but won’t go for the “carry permit”.

I guess I just don’t get the whole LOCAL gubment is good and FEDERAL gubment is evil! thing. Just cannot relate, don’t understand it.
For me, it has to do with responsiveness and accountability. Local gov’t is easier to deal with when you need something.

WUB - I worked with a man who was a rancher all his life, and when his sons didn’t want to ranch, why, they found oil on his property. He quit ranching and got a state job, used that salary (and the job benefits) for insurance (and the rest of his pay went to pay part of the estimated taxes on his oil income).
He kept the state job and retired from it solely for the purpose of having the insurance.

This shop is always fighting for the #1 or 2 spot in the world. Their best flavor is rice.

In Paris - and possibly among the best in the world, is the legendary Berthillon, a family-run glacier for several generations. In faithful tradition to the also legendary French disregard for customer service, Berthillon, located on the lovely Ile de Saint-Louis, closes down in the summer months - just when demand becomes the strongest.
Their ice-cream is probably the best I’ve ever tasted, and I’m a total ice-cream freak. If there were rehab clinics for ice-cream abuse, I’d constantly be in and out of them….

g’night, SFZ.
And again, sorry about my grumpiness earlier.
I’m feeling all guilty and shit …
Do not feel guilty. You are allowed to be grumpy. I am grumpy all the time! Is OK. You get rest. I was not damaged by grumpiness!

My mom-in-law is with Kaiser. She has a lot of health issues and swears by them. Takes care of all her needs.
I love them, and they took care of my grandma her whole life. A good organization.

They just misdiagnosed tuberculosis as pneumonia, treated it with steroids, and hastened my friend’s death.
I know it’s just coincidence, but this is my second friend to suffer terribly at their hands, from a mistake.

Old dead thread but had to chime in on Baker. Baker is a fool and he has always been a fool. His version of a “realist” foreign policy gave this country more than one black eye by dealing with tyrants in order to maintain a status-quo. I think he’s a dirtbag.
