Well at least Hitchens knows the importance of the US and UK armies in protecting their nations from the forces of Jihad.

I'm waiting for UPS to deliver my EyeTV HD. The HD cable box is set up and functioning. If I connect it to the old EyeTV 200 with S-Video it works fine; I can even see the HD channels that way, but not in HD of course.
Yep, I'm an early adopter of this one. HDTV on a 30-inch monitor. Bring it.

Wikileaks story is
"Where in the world is Julian Assange?
Yesterday the Daily Beast's Phil Shenon reported that Pentagon investigators are frantically searching for Assange, the white-haired and willfully inscrutable founder of WikiLeaks, in the hopes of stopping him from exposing more than 200,000 classified diplomatic cables: "Pentagon investigators are trying to determine the whereabouts of the Australian-born founder of the secretive website WikiLeaks for fear that he may be about to publish a huge cache of classified State Department cables that, if made public, could do serious damage to national security, government officials tell The Daily Beast."

Agreed. I seriously think that he should not be allowed to broadcast information that damaging. If needed his servers should be hacked and destroyed to prevent him form leaking the info. He should be stopped using any nonviolent means necessary, even if illegal.

It took "Hitch" until he was about 51 to understand that his world had changed. Glad he did. He has been a voice of sanity ever since. I will be 59 this summer, and have followed the same path, more or less. Whatever the theory is, folks like "Hitch" - and myself - I would hope, want to believe in SOMETHING greater than themselves. When we were young, Marxism was an easy one. As we got older - Not So Much. I will end here to invite comments. -S-

While LGF is turning up real original stories and MSM forgeries Hot Air has a scoop of their own tonight....
Bill Kristol: Obama planning to join UN call for international probe of flotilla raid; Update: Corroboration?
Update: Just got an interesting e-mail from a trustworthy source and regular HA reader:Sources of mine who are in positions to know confirmed that they’ve heard the same thing [as Kristol]. I suspect what’s going on here is a White House shot across the bow, a reminder to Bibi that things can get very nasty if he defies The One. Remember: the 10-month settlement freeze ends in September, right before the midterms, and Bibi plans on firing up the backhoes again. His coalition would fall apart if he didn’t, and he would look pathetic to boot. But in deference to the electoral prospects of his party, Obama doesn’t want to kick off another chapter in the Obama-Israel psychodrama right before the midterms. The Israelis know this and are keeping their powder dry for September. Obama is probably trying to warn them that he’d love nothing more than to let Susan Rice throw them unprotected into the UN arena.

Well, it may not be Assange who's to blame. Someone had to give him access to the cables.
However, if he publishes them without vetting them first, he takes responsibility.

Well, given that a lot of people here got their knickers twisty over the "illegal" hacking of the AGW emails, I'd have to say you're right.
And because he is illegally publishing classified information (there was nothing "classified" about the East Anglia emails), stomping on him by covert means would not cause me to weep.

That sounds fair. The child was born here and is a citizen, since it's the child's choice where he or she is born. I don't want to break up families, but we should keep the benefits to the parents to a minimum. Your proposal is an excellent way to do that.

Stones are jade alternating with graded blood quartz. The leather straps tie nicely to my Swiss Army knife's lanyard loop.

Difference Between, Grandfathers and Grandmothers
This is funny even if you are not a grandparent. Have you ever wondered what the difference between Grandmothers and Grandfathers is? Well here it is:
Every Sunday morning my friend would take his 7-year old granddaughter out for a drive for some bonding time. One particular Sunday however, he had a bad cold and really didn't feel like being up at all. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter out.
When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her Grandfather.
'Well, did you enjoy your ride with grandma?'
'Oh yes, Popa' the girl replied, 'and do you know what? We didn't see a single idiot, dumb bastard, dip shit, jack ass, or horse's ass anywhere we went today!'
Almost brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

1. What is the name of the author of Fahrenheit 451?
2. At what temperature do books burn?
Both pieces of information are readily available on the cover of the paperback of this novel, which we had been reading in class for six weeks.

Geeze, what a bunch of buffoons. I'd like to say that things went better for my teachers when I was in school. but I'd be lying. When the English class I was in read Heart of Darkness, almost all the questions and thinking responses were from only 5 people out of more than 20 students. I was one of the five and actually was allowed to try to move things forward at times when the teacher had to step out. That was never fun. since some goofballs always decided they wanted to talk about something non-class related. God love you, SFZ, I don't know how you put up with morons like that for years on end.

SB, is it throwing any codes?
I tried that, and the result was that the check engine light stayed on for a bit only once. I can't tell if that is flashing a code, or just the normal way it works.
According to what I've find on the internet, a single, long flash would mean a "10", which is the Intake Air Temp. sensor. However that tests within proper voltage and resistance specs.

EyeTV HD rocks. With just a little bit of monkeying around, I now have all my HD channels being displayed on my Apple monitor, recordable, time-shiftable, etc.
Excellent video. Only complaint -- I wish the EyeTV HD box had an optical audio input for surround sound. But the HD video signal is beautiful on my 30" monitor.
I have a Slingbox, and I love it. It allows me access my DVR/satellite on any computer, anywhere I have the net. I even watch in my car when a friend is driving. I love my magic gadgets.

That's a pretty depressing story.
I think Moore's logic was this:
Fahrenheit 451 = dystopian novel.
Fahrenheit 9/11 = America is Moore's dystopia.I'm still not quite sure why he isn't in Cuba.
Because, in his own way, he does still believe in America? I don't agree with him much, and I expect you do even less so, but he does have a rather mid-western utopian streak to him. Being a leftie I've seen lots like him & most are worse. You may disagree with him but he honestly believes that what he wants is a better America. Not a Cuba. Take that as you will.

Does this happen under certain temperatures?
That's the thing that has me perplexed. Here's the chain of events:
Last week I started the car and let it idle for 10-15 mins., then drove about two blocks when it stalled, and would not start again. This is at normal operating temp., neither cold nor overheating.
Walk back the next day, check wires and dist. cap, all fine. Still won't start. Get it towed home.
Sits for a few days, then I replace the fuel filter. It starts fine, I shut it off. Ten minutes later I drive it to two locations, shut it off, starts fine at both locations, normal operating temp. It then stalls again, and won't start. I give it about three hours, it starts fine and I barely get it into my garage before it stalls again after traveling only a few blocks. Now it refuses to start again.
Coolant level is fine, no overheating.

Groundless. Hatred.

No.
But if groundless hatred comes at your ass with tooth and nail and RPG and AK-47 and suicide bomb and SCUD missile, you are justified in defending yourself and yours against it, jusqu'au bout.

Hey all. I just wanted to post that I found the issue, and repaired in myself.
The solution would seem like a fuel-pump relay...though there was no 'chugging'. In looking up what relays we could purchase to try, we found that there is no fuel-pump relay. However, there is a MAIN relay...which governs the fuel-pump AND the injectors. Hence, why when my car would stall...the engine would just suddenly be off. No power to the fuel-pump or the injection system...no run.
So...if you have a Honda Civic 1998 doing this whole stalling while driving with no chugging (e.g. engine just shuts off), consider checking the MAIN RELAY. The part was around $50 at O'Reilly's. I pulled the glove-box and the dash side panel, and replaced the relay myself.
Car runs like a charm now.

No, towns have special part of the bankruptcy code called Chapter 9. Basically, California towns are contemplating bankruptcy as a way to get out of union contracts and pension obligations they can no longer afford.

Similar to a businesses chapter 13 bankruptcy
Means that the citys creditors can't harass them for the monies owed and the city has time to covert assets into cash and / or raise funds to pay off creditors

Speaking of "remodeling" we have a neighbor whom moved into the sub a few houses down from us last year. He removed all of the very nice landscaping that was already there (bushes, ground cover, ornamental trees..) and replaced every bit of it with hundreds of rose bushes of all colors. That wasn't enough room for his rose collection so there are about 50 more pots filling up half the driveway too. It looks so redneckish. Just dreadful. No neighborhood association here, so its anything goes. Dude, the Rose Bowl called, they want the float back. Oh sorry, thats your lawn.
Oh well. I know if I was the guy next door to him trying to sell his house right now I wouldn't be amused.

Ahh...the Hindsight Act./
In that it works the same way as a personal or business bankruptcy. The town is admitting its in over its head and the court appoints a trustee who is allowed to make changes to put the town's finances on an even keel. In cases of towns or counties, this does indeed involve the canceling of union and pension contracts. Another reason this approach is used is that by having the trustee make the changes, the local officials avoid a direct confrontation with the unions.

I think Moore's logic was this:

Fahrenheit 9/11 = America is Moore's dystopia.I'm still not quite sure why he isn't in Cuba.
1. He couldn't get enough to food for that morbidly obese body;
2. He can make much more money here (remember, he hates capitalism when someone other than him is making the money);
3. There's not nearly as much attention paid to expatriates compared to stay-at-home America-denouncers; and
4. The Cuban government wouldn't put up with his bullshit.
