You guy know last year when the Lakers Won the World Championship I posted here that Charles was downtown at the parade drinking a beer laughing at me don't you?
It's just not fair...Lakers go down this year...

He's a good man. So was his mentor. Spurs are the good guys, that's why they get bad press from the sports shows - they're boring.

Are you on a Mac or PC?


tech note-I was a bit distressed to see the new I phone edits HD video with a nearly free app. I guess it needs that since it generates video content in 720 HD. I was a bit distressed because editing HD video for consumers is part of the Studio11 growth plan.

Gotta credit Steve Jobs for seeing the huge gap between all that new HD content from all those new cameras and editing said content. HD editing is a challenge for all but the very top models even among Apple machines.

Soon it was commonplace for entire teams to change cities in search of greater profits. The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee where there is no oil. The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don't allow music.

126 sattv4u2  Tue, Jun 8, 2010 7:19:58pm

SO ,, Halftime,, here's what I see

The Celtics were blown out in Game 1. Nobody played very well at all, let alone as a team

Game 2, Ray Allen carried them in the 1st half, Rondo in the 2nd. They don't win if either didn't

Game 3,, It's a 12 point game but would be a LOT bigger if not for KG

CONCLUSION

The Celtics TEAM hasn't played one good half yet, let alone one game

Three individual players have played well in three individual halves

Being a Mavs fan, I've seen this game hundreds of times. Terrific road team but play at home and suddenly coasting along will be good enough to get it done. It isn't conscious, it just happens. No jump as they say in hockey.

Second half is wake up time. Big push now but will it be too little too late? Rondo or someone will have to take charge of this deal. First few minutes of the third will tell if we are headed to a blow out or a real good game.

178 Tigger2005  Tue, Jun 8, 2010 7:43:54pm

A friend on Facebook put up a comment about Helen Thomas' anti-Jewish remark. I responded by referring to Thomas as a "wicked old bird" and a "Jew-hater." Another person told me to "hold on there," and said that while "wicked old bird" was an opinion, "Jew-hater" was an ugly accusation and asked if I could back it up. The following is what I wrote in reply. (A third person, a right-winger who denies global warming, replied and said he was in shock because he actually agreed with me. I find that this is common among the ideologically bound...they can hardly believe that someone might share SOME of their views, but not all of them.)

Yes, Jew-hater. I make no apologies for being so blunt. "Get the hell out of 'Palestine.'" "Go back to Germany, go back to Poland." These are the words of an anti-Semitic bigot. A Jew-hater.

As a journalist, Ms. Thomas cannot possibly be unaware that Germany and Poland are Ground Zero of the Holocaust (Shoah), or that Poland is the site of ... See MoreAuschwitz, the largest and most notorious of the Nazi death camps.

Israel may be a secular state, but it is unquestionably the Jewish homeland, a Jewish refuge from persecution (and persecution of Jews is very much alive today, and getting worse).

I'm not sure you realize that Israel is being systematically de-legitimized and set up for destruction by people whose interpretation of Islam and the Qu'ran declares that land that has been claimed for Islam must be Islamic forever (they still want Spain, or al-Andalusia, back) and also commands them to kill Jews wherever they find them. Forty percent of the world's Jews live in Israel. To Iran and Hamas, this represents a good start at wiping them out...and lately, they've been winning victory after victory, taking away Israel's options and defenses one after another. Israel lifts a finger to protect itself and the world screams in outrage.

The global press and much of the world willingly buys into anti-Israel propaganda pushed by the likes of Mahmoud Ahmedinejad and the Turkish Prime Minister. You have to ask yourself...why? The hatred directed at Israel far exceeds anything directed at the government of South Africa in the 80's. Why are people so eager to believe the worst about Israel, so eager to call them "usurpers" (they're not--they bought sparsely populated desert land from its absentee Turkish owners, they didn't invade some ancient country called "Palestine" and throw the existing population out), so eager to believe they're tormenting and persecuting and starving the poor Palestinians for no reason, so eager to forget all about the suicide bombings of weddings, buses, pizza parlors, about the rain of rockets from Gaza?

I think it's pretty clear... it's because most of the inhabitants of Israel are Jews. Anti-Jewish bigotry has never died, and it's on the rise again in a big way. and Helen Thomas is just one example of that.

Not really

ANY team that wants to win should be able to win one on the road

BUT , with the 2-3-2 it's almost MANDATORY that the "3" team wins three in a row

Lets say, for instance, the Lakers won game 2. They head back to Boston up 2-0
IF Boston loses one of the next three, it's 3-2 Lakers with Boston HAVING to win two in a row on the road

re: #184 Killgore Trout

Us Lizards are still figuring it out. I think we'll see a lot more original content and value added commentary as it develops. It will take some time but we're getting the hang of it.
I was thinking of getting a Wordpress account someday for a stupid garden or cooking blog but the same features come free with a registered account on lgf. Sweet deal.

Killgore - the cookbook blog has more of your gardening posts than it does cookbook stuff.

Maybe we can figure out a way to make that blog your gardening/cooking blog. It would be a shame to "waste" all the stuff that's already posted there from you.

Yes, Charles' post above was regarding a commenter as well. I wasn't trying to draw left-right equivalence, but rather noting that LGF had once again successfully agitated wacko commenters from both fringes.

Always a good sign...

No, just biased. Crazy Left thinks that we're stooge fascists and Crazy Right thinks that we're godless socialists.

Ya know what? Let them think what they want. Those partisan tribalists are why my ballot sucked so bad I could barely get myself in the voting booth. Damn. Needed a shower after the vote.

re: #201 Gus 802

Indeed. The "all or nothing" ideologues, or as I am want to call them "Animal Farm Ideologues", will not suffer those who are not entirely on their side on every single, damnable issue. It is self-limiting thought, political bigotry akin to any other form of bigotry.

Note to the "AFIs": Being a centrist or a moderate is no where near equivalent to being the proverbial grape in the middle of the road. That is a false analogy entertained only by those who are weak minded and lack basic logic and critical thinking skills.

re: #188 Rightwingconspirator

Another poster scoffed at commenting on the pages. But that is what will evolve long term. I must admit to some serious curiosity as to how the pages do in the traffic through here. Especially with all the new folks.


It will be interesting to see how it develops but I think for a lot of people the bonus will be that your page comes with a built in audience. even on a slow day at least a couple hundred people are going to see your post. With Wordpress or something similar you'd be lucky if to have 20-30 people see your post. I think that's a big bonus. I've had several very nice people with very nice blogs offer me a platform to blog on their site but I've always declined because there's a bigger audience right here in the comments. The Pages adds a whole new dimension.

re: #224 Killgore Trout

Hot Air commenters are worse. We seem to have annoyed them somehow.

I am now getting hits on my blog from links posted on whackjob left-wing sites, by commenters to disprove the claims that "Gaza is starving."

It's mind boggling to see the excuses after being confronted with visual proof that Gaza is very far from starvation.

"OK they're not starving but there is a lot of unemployment, and when people are unemployed they have no self-respect."

I mean, What. The. Fuck. People in Detroit are unemployed but nobody is going across the border and blowing up Canadians.

We could possibly work something out but I always feel bad asking you to take the time to post something that I (and probably nobody else) find interesting. You've been a very good sport entertaining my eccentric obsessions with obscure vegetables and British cooking shows. I'm eternally grateful.

248 Dark_Falcon  Tue, Jun 8, 2010 8:12:45pm

This is fairly funny. Charles posted this earlier today but CNN has a different angle on it:

TRENDING: Palin wants Obama to call her

Sarah Palin says its time for President Barack Obama to pick up the phone and make some calls – maybe even to her.

In her latest post on Facebook, the former Alaska governor takes aim at the president for not speaking directly with BP CEO Tony Hayward during the ongoing Gulf Coast crisis. Obama told NBC Tuesday that he has not spoken with Hayward because "when you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he's gonna say all the right things to me - I'm not interested in words, I'm interested in actions."

Palin wrote that Obama's comments amount to "further proof that it bodes well to have some sort of executive experience before occupying the Oval Office," and added that the president should call experts who lived through the 1989 Exxon-Valdez oil spill in Alaska – including herself.

The only thing Sarah Palin is an expert in is skating past responsibilities and logic on a current of wingnut enthusiasm.

re: #5 Charles

Run, do not walk, to the Apple website and download Safari 5. It's awesome. The best browser for reading LGF by far.

Chrome is fast, but Safari has a great, mature set of features.

No linux version...booo. Linux is a smaller market though, so I guess I can't blame them too much. Would be nice to see Safari--and especially itunes--for linux without having to have to mess with windows emulation via wine.

I heard Todd Schnitt mention LGF on his show today when he did a spot on the Reuters fauxtography. Word is definitely getting out.
