Oh, hi.
Just got here. Just got awakened by a phone call to see if SP is going to go on SNL tonight.
I was drinky and asleep, so I'm watching HUD until 10:30.
So keep me awake 'til then, folkses.
I do prefer Giant to Hud.

PETROLIA, Pa. (AP) — A corrosive liquid overflowed from a tank at a chemical plant in western Pennsylvania on Saturday, evaporating into a toxic cloud that snaked along the ground and forced about 2,500 to flee. At least three residents were believed to be injured.
A material called oleum, similar to sulfuric acid, leaked from a tank at the Indspec Chemical Corp. plant in Petrolia, said plant manager Dave Dorko.
Authorities were concerned about the potential for respiratory damage and skin burns, said Freda Tarbell, spokeswoman for the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Authorities went door to door to warn the 2,500 people living within 2 miles to evacuate. Residents were taken to shelters in nearby towns, and officials said they did not know when they would be allowed to return.
Red Cross officials said they expected to shelter only 50 to 100 people overnight.
No injuries were reported at the plant, where the spill was contained and crews were trying to clean it up. An official at Butler Memorial Hospital, where authorities said three residents were taken, declined to comment.
The dense cloud was reported moving slowly west Saturday night, close to the ground. No further evacuations were planned, but residents in the path were told to remain inside, to close doors, windows and vents, to shut down any system that draws air from the outside, and to put out any fires in fireplaces.
Petrolia is about 40 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

I lived down the road in Hamilton in the late '80's and early '90's.
I saw a few Leafs games at the time and of course Ballard was always in the news for being an ass.
He also owned the Hamilton Tiger-Cats during that period.

I was already in BC so we never crossed paths. I lived in Toronto in the mid 80's and went to quite a few games. It was cheap to get tickets from scalpers after the game started, so we'd hang around until midway through the 1st period then go in.
I can't get Canucks tickets for less than $250. So I don't go.

As recently as Sept. 23, senior officials had publicly derided proposals by Democrats to have the government take ownership stakes in banks.
The Treasury Department’s surprising turnaround on the issue of buying stock in banks, which has now become its primary focus, has raised questions about whether the administration squandered valuable time in trying to sell Congress on a plan that officials had failed to think through in advance.
It has also raised questions about whether the administration’s deep philosophical aversion to government ownership in private companies hindered its ability to look at all options for stabilizing the markets.
The republican ideology helped create this mess and their ideology is keeping it going. Just go away. Now.

From the last thread...
I lived in Toronto in the mid 80's and went to quite a few games.
One of the first NHL games I ever saw was in February 1985 (I was visiting my older brother who lived in Toronto at the time).
The Edmonton Oilers vs. Toronto. Edmonton won 9-4. Gretzky had 7 points.
Probably the most memorable game I've seen was during the 1987 Canada Cup. Canada tied the Soviets 3-3 during the final game of the round-robin portion of the tournament, which was being held at Copp's Colliseum in Hamilton.
Gretzky and Lemieux on the same line. The greatest team ever assembled in the history of hockey.

Pitbull’s Nose Whacked With Rolled-up Newspaper.
Joe Biden, in comments at an outdoor rally in Missouri, has whacked Palin the pit bull in the nose with the proverbial rolled-up newspaper.
Joe Biden Thursday night told Sarah Palin not to lecture him on patriotism, after weeks of attacks mocking him for his statement the wealthy should be patriotic and pay higher taxes because not enough has been asked of them.
“Sarah Palin had great fun saying Joe Biden thinks paying taxes is patriotic. Well, let me tell you what Joe Biden thinks,” the Delaware senator said at an outdoor rally. “Joe Biden thinks that anybody who takes millions of dollars offshore to avoid paying their fair share is unpatriotic.” “That is not patriotic and it will stop, it will stop in an Obama-Biden administration! Enough! I’ve had it up to here! Don’t lecture me on patriotism,” shouted Biden, getting drowned out by the applause of his supporters.
As much as Barack Obama’s calm, cool, collected presence has served him well in this election, every once in a while it feels good to have a nice Biden counter-punch. He makes us feel like Democrats have spines.
New "House-gate"story on Palins similar to Stevens also reported on Mudflats http://mudflats.wordpress.com/

She could so much use exposure to more interesting people. Her BD is in a few days, and he says he'll cook dinner for her but, she says she'll have to shop for it and clean up after and she's (maybe) just had enough. They both know it's over but neither has the courage to end it.

Well, one thing you will have to admit is that the stock market would prefer McCain over Obama, in the sense that Congress is likely to be democrat controlled. The market prefers deadlock to radical policy changes.
That's what Ive been telling people who are Obama supporters and most agree its a valid point.

Like Thomas Muthee, Mary Glazier describes waging personal battles against witches and witchcraft and, also like Muthee, Mary Glazier appears to have a special religious connection to Sarah Palin. Bishop Thomas Muthee, in an October 2005 ceremony at the Wasilla Assembly of God, anointed and blessed Sarah Palin as a political leader.
On June 13, 2008 Mary Glazier told attendees at the "Opening the Gate of Heaven on Earth" conference, who represented many of the New Apostolic Reformation's top leaders, that she had been present at the inception of Sarah Palin's political career and that Palin was in her personal prayer group :
"there was a twenty-four year old woman that God began to speak to about entering into politics. She became a part of our prayer group out in Wasilla. Years later, became the mayor of Wasilla. And last year was elected Governor of the state of Alaska. Yes! Hallelujah! At her inauguration she dedicated the state to Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!"

In Brian Greene's engrossing book The Elegant Universe he points out that photons do not age. Time does not pass for photons.
This is entailed by Einstein's theory of special relativity.
So if you could convert all of your mass into electromagnetic energy, you wouldn't get any older, assuming you = your body.

AP just released a stringer story from the Davenport Rally for McCain today. The opening invocation is enough to turn everyone atheist
Unhelpful for establishing the tone McCain sought in Davenport was the Rev. Arnold Conrad, past pastor of the Grace Evangelical Free Church. His prayer before McCain arrived at the convention center blocks from the Mississippi River appeared to dismiss faiths other than Christianity and cast the election as a referendum on God himself.
“I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god — whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons,” Conrad said.
“And Lord, I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and Election Day,” he said.
Man…these people are crazy. Are they really imaging the gods competing up there?

For those that missed it this morning, Res posted a snippet from a column Nooners wrote right after the 2004 election:
The Democrats have lost their leader in the Senate, Tom Daschle. I do not know what the Democratic Party spent, in toto, on the 2004 election, but what they seem to have gotten for it is Barack Obama. Let us savor.
I just hope Maddy's okay. She's a very resilient kid, but with her father in his current state, I am concerned for her. And I have not seen her in over 2 weeks, and the last time was just for a few minutes.

Speaking of which - "Life On Mars." Anyone else watch?
Thought they went overboard with the streetscapes - too busy; too much going on.
Watching it's what put that Stones' Out of Time in my brain echo - they closed with it.

WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain, the clock ticking down on a chance to narrow Democrat Barack Obama's lead in polls, fended off comments Saturday comparing him to a well-known segregationist and attempted to pivot back toward policy differences.
Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and veteran of the civil rights movement, says the negative tone of the Republican presidential campaign reminds him of the hateful atmosphere that segregationist Gov. George Wallace fostered in Alabama in the 1960s.
Republican candidate John McCain on Saturday called Lewis' remarks "shocking and beyond the pale."
-good night. Sweet dreams.

He once confronted this guy Joe Pine, who was the 60's equivalent to Bill O'Reilly. Pine had a prosthetic leg.
Pine said "That long hair of yours, are you a woman?"
Zappa replied without missing a beat "That wooden leg of yours, are you a table?"

Iceland, in the words of its President, is facing the "very real danger" of national bankruptcy. If the situation deteriorates, Canada should invite the small island nation to join our confederation, just as we did 60 years ago with another island in the Atlantic facing bankruptcy.
Canada is far larger and more economically diverse, and thus is far less likely to suffer huge shocks from a single bank failure. We also already have an existing concept of distinct "nations" within the country masquerading as provinces that could accommodate Iceland. After all, Iceland is the same distance away from Ottawa as Vancouver, and it has a largely English-speaking population (and a healthy dose of French speakers). In fact, Canada is the first choice of Icelandic emigres. A NATO member with no army of its own, Iceland is already functionally defended in part by Canada, and would cement our claims to the Arctic as well as providing a link to Europe.
With a population almost as large as Newfoundland's and larger than P. E. I.'s and the territories combined, and with a strong history of self sufficiency, Iceland would likely neither be a long-term drain, nor swallowed up in a melting pot.
Most importantly, it's the polite thing to do.

Nah. It was pledge drive; I was hurling 45s at the turntables.
Harry Rag stuck around to pledge rap. He monitored the score as it ran up. We both lost interest after they got in the 30s.

"Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" is a really kickass song."
My favorite song by him is "I Wish"
the school I student taught used it as their graduation song. I got to watch several hundred happy kids sing and dance to that as a whole gym celebrated their graduation.
one of my favorite memories ever.

people say a lot of things about namestealers
take it all with a grain of salt as he is not the only one who is accused of it.
Simels admits to namestealing a troll or two to make a joke but says that's all. I have no information that leads me to doubt him.
