Sore and happy around here. Working on a page with photography from a four mile hike. Near Mt Baldy.

Cool! I’ve never been out there. Biggest one I’ve climbed was Mt Washington in NH.

Just got back from seeing my Mom. I love the woman but she drives me nuts.

re: #7 PT Barnum

I think he’s had surgery. Not sure though.

Nothing serious I hope. I spar with the guy, but hope he’s okay.

He had a foot amputated. Here’s Reine’s update page for any news on him.

Removing part of his leg.

You have to see this. You have to see it to get the true level of sickness the right has plunged into.

Warning: this is truly sickening.

It is a violence and revenge fantasy about a man whose form of revolution in defense of the Constitution, is to stalk and murder a politician and his family.

Here is the tag blurb from the film makers:

“Mr. Mullen” is a film about the crash of the economy and the corruption ensuing from the growing size and control of the American government.

Chris Mitchell, a hard-working man, relays his memiors in witnessing his entire world destroyed by rampant government corruption. He targets future Senator Edward D. Mullen, the man most responsible. Finally broken by society, Chris seeks revenge on Mullen and his family, in hopes to spark a revolution.

re: #15 Irenicum

I found that and subscribed but wondered why there was an update page in the first place..

18 Irenicum  Sun, Aug 15, 2010 7:09:02pm

re: #17 PT Barnum

Same here. I had forgotten the details from a few weeks ago about his foot. My prayers are with him for speedy healing.

19 b_sharp  Sun, Aug 15, 2010 7:09:31pm

re: #16 PT Barnum

diabetes?

I don’t believe it is diabetes related, but he has been in pain for a few years from what I understand. Walter would have more information than I do.

20 goddamnedfrank  Sun, Aug 15, 2010 7:09:44pm

re: #16 PT Barnum

Peripheral arterial disease.

21 PT Barnum  Sun, Aug 15, 2010 7:12:23pm

Peripheral arterial disease.

man..I don’t wish that on anyone. Hope he heals up.

We’re gonna call him Ilene.

On a thread about China? Irene.

23 Irenicum  Sun, Aug 15, 2010 7:12:32pm

re: #19 b_sharp

I think Walter works on Sunday nights. He’ll probably show up here a little later. Hopefully he’ll have some news.

24 Fat Bastard Vegetarian  Sun, Aug 15, 2010 7:13:34pm

Walter expects to have an update by this Friday. They have an actual plan in place.

He’s a real live tough SOB… just doesn’t play one on television.

We all wish him well, I’m fairly sure most of us also feel a little bit uncomfortable discussing someone’s personal loss without the actual person here. Everyone’s going to deal with that their own way.

re: #29 PT Barnum

My “take” on it (garnered from nothing more than the little bit Steve talked about it) is that he really did not want to have to do this; but once it was obvious there was nothing else that could be done, he simply accepted that this is what would be.

I think laughter is good for the soul and good for your overall health; Steve seemed a bit bummed about it, but open to a bit of humor.

Those who don’t know - I set up a page that can be subscribed to, and Walter will post any updates he gets on that page, so if you subscribe, you will get notice about Steve’s condition without having to search the threads. I think comments are “active” on those pages for a week, so if it takes more than a week for Walter to hear from Steve, I may have to set up a new page. At any rate, here it is, if anyone cares to subscribe to it.

36 Irenicum  Sun, Aug 15, 2010 7:24:30pm

re: #35 reine.de.tout

Thanks Reine. I subscribed earlier. I appreciate your making it easier to keep up to date.

re: #39 PT Barnum

Hm!
Let me think about it - I’ll check with Walter to see if he has any suggestions.

I wonder if Charles would be OK with a page for well-wishes for Albusteve, that we can send him the link to, to look at when he feels up to it?

Anybody?

Double sided tape.

I think it’s called earthquake putty. Sticky stuff, designed to keep valuables from dropping in a quake.

Wow.
We’re talking really lightweight, then, eh?

double sided tape on the bottom?

mount it on a much larger base (glue it securely to a piece of wood of some sort, or heck, a piece of granite! You may be able to go to a trophy shop and get something appropriate.).

It’s because the features here make it so very easy to actually have a conversation.
Add to that the “pages” which is, just, wow. I spent some time this evening looking through at what’s up in the columns a bit earlier. It’s amazing, no end of interesting things to read about.

So, in support of LGF, and also to drive the stalkers bat-shit crazy, for the love of Pete, if you haven’t done so already, buy a cookbook!

Priced reasonably, both volumes.

LGF reminds me of a board I was on around 89-90 in Des Moines called the Main Event. We had people who were hard right, middle, and left. Although we argued a lot, we were all good friends.

I still miss those guys. LGF is the first place I’ve been on line where I get that same vibe.

63 Irenicum  Sun, Aug 15, 2010 7:37:46pm

Well gang, this was just a quick stop by. I’m back to working full time again for the first time in a while, for which I’m extremely glad. So my online time here is more limited now. Have a good night y’all, and thanks again Reine for what you’re doing. Bless you.

It’s not really, really lightweight, I just don’t want my sixth graders destroying it. It was donated by a lovely lady who just passed away, and I’d like it survive this school year and many others.

Tape sounds good.

Death watch:


Zsa Zsa Gabor calls in priest for final rites


Zsa Zsa Gabor, the 93-year-old Hollywood star who has been hospitalized due to complications from a broken hip, called a priest into her hospital room Sunday for her final rites, her publicist said.

“Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has seen a priest and is not doing very well. She’s in serious condition. She asked to see a priest and receive her last rites,” publicist John Blanchette told AFP.

The wires have been running the story for a few days now, since her hip problem. At first it looked like it was taken care of, then they had to rush her back to the hospital.
