Issue #5 of Eerie Magazine came out in September 1966 with another classic Frank Frazetta cover, depicting some unlucky swamp explorers who encounter something a bit larger than a gator.

I just ditched my land line for good the other day. I had barely used it at all since July, and pretty much stopped using it once grad school started. My iPhone is pretty much all I need so I figured paying for two phones was redundant and a waste of cash.

JamesWI Sat, Oct 30, 2010 4:43:31pm |
Over at Gateway Pundit (I won’t link to the post), Jim Hoft posted a “comparison” of the Glen Beck and Stewart rallies. I already pointed out how the area of land photographed in the two pictures was completely different, and how, you know, there was a reflection pool in the middle of the Beck rally.
But then I looked at the pictures a little more closely, and I noticed an even more blatant example of dishonesty in those pictures. I’ll just copy and paste my post from there over here - if you want to look at the picture, it won’t be too hard to find.
Look at his comparison picture. Do you see that second building on the right? The one that looks like it has ridges, or is 4 smaller things coming out? The one that is halfway up the photo?
That’s the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. That building above it, with the circular thing on the roof, is the National Museum of the American Indian. On the left side of the photograph, you have the buildings of the the National Gallery of Art.
Why am I pointing these things out? Because, according to that little oval Hoft put in there to supposedly illustrate the area photographed, none of those buildings should be visible, let alone that high up in the photograph.
At the bottom right, you can see a bit where the road/path curves into the park. That would be in front of the Smithsonian Institution Building and the Museum of African Art.
That curve starts about 2 blocks closer to the Washington Monument than where Hoft says that picture ends.
Pretty pathetic attempt at manipulation there, Mr. Hoft.

Well, that isn’t an example of him being dumb. It is an example of him posting a blatant lie.

Since I lost my sweet 90K job in the recession, and learned the value of a dollar, I now pay $10 for 3 months of service at $.14/minute for US calls. The $10 goes toward those minutes. It’s through a 3rd party carrier that leases space on AT&Ts network.

I have XP on this laptop. I have just tried this on a desktop with XP. Whichever browser I use LGF is very, very slow-loading. I sent a message about this when it happened a few weeks back. Briefly things did seem better but, it is happening again. Even when it does load, like now as I type this comment, it is still trying to load something or other. I am not getting this on other sites. The ratings and expandable things are also slow but maybe that is not the same issue.

Honestly? I’m waiting for them to start branching out on Intervention. Instead of drug addicts and alcoholics, they’ll start showing people obsessed with Twitter, or gaming addicts who can’t quit Farmville or World of Warcraft.
It’s only a matter of time.

Damn that sucks I remember when that happened. Almost pulled the trigger on that myself. I jumped in with OOma when I did because when they came out with the new models, you have to pay fees and taxes, but old model was grandfathered and reduced in price.
I have the original hub. Just bought another refurb hub from frys.com for $129.99 shipped. It is OOS now but it should come back in stock. Great price for the service.

Oh, I know. Believe me. I used to be an MMORPG gamer myself, and over the years I’ve seen what can happen when people get addicted to those games. Hell, the whole reason I quit playing them ages ago was because I started noticing I was spending more and more time playing a computer game instead of going out and socializing and having a real life.
I was being sarcastic about the Twitter thing, but gaming addiction is all too real. All you have to do is read about those stories of people who get so caught up in what they’re doing that their family suffers, or they die at the keyboard.

My response would be that the Rally to Restore Sanity could arguably be aimed in a way most poignantly at people of the same age as Jon Stewart and my parents, the first President I was old enough to pay attention to was Bill Clinton…. to me hyper partisanship has always been a way of life in America it’s just gotten more visible, they on the other hand are old enough to remeber a time when Democrats and Republicans could work together to pass an important piece of legislature… that in turn was being opposed by slightly less large numbers of democrats and republicans working together….

Jon Stewart is a political comedian and like all comedians because people watch him for the laughs he is not beholden to hist political guests that he “interviews” to determine his raitings, or at least not to keep his raitings high enough to secure his show.
Because of this, and the fact that Jon Stewart is on a network that makes no claims towards being an eastblished news network, he is free to speak truth to power without fear of reprisal from those above even when the truth of the mater is painfully partisan, such as when 3/4ths of the Republicans in the Senate (and exactly 0 democrates) vote that companies should be able to make women sign away their right to sue if they’re raped by their fellow employees of said company.
The King’s Royal Jester has always been able to say to the King what no one else could for fear of offending his majesty.
Jon Stewart continues this tradition today and does our country a great service by making the news entertaining and interesting in a way “real” newsmen fail at so very, very, very baddly.
