Look like McCain has abandoned any pretense of trying to convince Americans that he can help solve their economic problems. So he is pulling out of Michigan and stocking up on all the mud he can to throw at Obama. With only a little more effort McCain can go down in history as just as much of a slimeball as Nixon was. Except that McCain will achieve that distinction without ever being elected president.

"Johnny, we can't fuel up the Supertrain with these toxic fuel, people could get hurt!"
"Listen, I know what I'm doing. I just use a little bit of toxic fuel and put it in a big barrel of good fuel. I make money, the sellers of the toxic fuel get rid of their stuff and the Supertrain keeps on rolling."
"But Johnny, what if you are wrong? What if the toxic fuel contaminates all the fuel and it stops running and jerks to a haul. People will get hurt!"
"Don't worry, why do you think that all the passenger seats have air bags? We've got it covered"
"But Johnny, we stripped OUT the airbags to save money. We said that it was just a nanny government requirement and that the Supertrain hadn't crashed in 60 years!"
"We'll worry about that if it happens, all I know is that I'm getting off the train at the next big city, because I just want to do my own thing, it's not like I'm afraid. I just don't choose to ride the Supertrain. I'll just call one of my choppers to come pick me up. But you stay on the train and tell me how it's going. Oh by the way I need to pay the chopper pilot and I don't have my check book, can you loan me 200 bucks? I pay you back the next time I see you at the club."

The Defense Department will pay private U.S. contractors in Iraq up to $300 million over the next three years to produce news stories, entertainment programs and public service advertisements for the Iraqi media in an effort to "engage and inspire" the local population to support U.S. objectives and the Iraqi government.
$300 million/3 years =
$100 million/year=
$9 million/month=
$250,000 day
Think about that.
I know a lot of people who are extremely proficient with a movie camera and audio who know how to manipulate people. They make feature movies for less than $50,000.
Of course, they have consciences so they would never do this.

David Letterman just asked Brian Williams if the McCain Obama race was starting to look like Bob Dole vs. Clinton. Williams replied that it was "more like Eisenhower/Kennedy," experience vs. youth. Then he said it again: "Eisenhower/Kennedy."
In case you are as big an idiot as Brian Williams, which I doubt, you realize that Kennedy ran against NIXON, not Eisenhower.
Anyone can make a mistake, but this was a whopper, and he said it twice, and added a few lines of explanation. My diagnosis is that Williams just can't bring himself to compare his buddy Maverick to Tricky Dick.
(This was all preceded, by the way, by Dave slamming Palin and McCain, and Williams "balancing" these attacks by spouting Republican talking points and waxing poetic about 9/11, and how the GOP team had "kept us safe.")

You know I've been feeling very numb this week and doing NOTHING. I think that I do this just so that I will get thrown into a panic and have adrenaline to push me or external circumstances push me. There is much to comment blaming others for your pain, vs. yourself.
Today I was trying to get out of my head were the same stuff goes around and around and feels both stale and stuck (Hecate knows the card I picked representing this time) I physically had to move myself and just walk. Left foot, right foot, breathe.
Annie Lamotte says that she gets the same advice from her priest friend Tom (who I also know).
What I really want is to be with some Atriots and maybe watch a movie together or do something like badminton. That is one of the limitations of not being in the same place physically we can't do the non-intellectual thing. I'm actually an extrovert and I like to entertain people so I would get a kick out of it, but it might not be the same for introverts. There are a lot of writers here who are an I vs and E on the meyer's briggs.

It's actually the least of all the major fuckups attributable to the Chimp and his enablers over the past 8 years. The bubble began and flourished during Clinton's presidency. That was when shit started to get really stupid and people were becoming "millionaires overnight" because they happened to be working as a secretary at some startup when it went public.
I assure you that there are quite a few people who still keep the faith, i.e., you can find people to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in technology that an educated honest person will tell you is unripe bullshit.

it's pretty ignorant to say that.
you can have all the intent in the world to quit.
doesn't mean it's gonna happen.
even just quitting for 2 weeks, 4 months, 8 months at a time is better than nothing.
btw, you really need to learn how to be
instructive without doing damage.
chastising someone
for failing to quit smoking is just plain vile.

Anyways, I took a job here to be near them (and the boyfriend)...well as I had expected (and dreaded) I haven't been able to find a job here....I most likely will need to move away again very very soon.....just to be all alone again.

The song, called "Politics: Obama Is Here," was released earlier in the day and refers to the New York senator as an "irrelevant b***h." Ludacris, whose real name is Chris Bridges, also takes aim at John McCain in the song, saying the Arizona senator "don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed."
The song, which largely celebrates the rise of Obama on the national political scene, also criticizes the Rev. Jesse Jackson and President Bush.
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said Ludacris should be "ashamed of these lyrics."
Obama has praised Ludacris in the past and the two men sat down privately in 2006 together to discuss ways to empower youth.
Praise and damanation? Seems contradictory, just like everything else in Obama's campaign.
This area is just not flush with opportunities for Web Programmer.

13 weeks of unemployment will take you through the election and beyond. Things will start loosening up then. You could even get a part time temp holiday job to keep the ramen noodles coming while you look.
The big family of good friends probably knows people who know people who work in places where there's a job posted by the elevator and they pass the word -- that's networking right there.
So cry over the lost relationship and stick close to that big family of good friends. It'll be okay.
SJ, I understand that feeling about finding a made family to not feel so alone. Hang tough.

this just in from the campaign:
John McCain was at it again today, releasing yet another ad full of lies about Barack Obama and taxes.
The McCain campaign is using a manipulative, dishonest method to calculate how many times Barack has voted to raise taxes, and they came up with the number 94 -- completely unsupported by any independent analysis of the record.
So we turned it around and used the McCain campaign's bogus counting method on his record. And guess what?
Using his own standards, John McCain has voted 477 times to raise taxes!
Our team put together a fun video to help you and your friends see just how desperate John McCain looks when he runs the same tired attacks Republicans have used for years.

My body and brain told me I had to quit my job. I was so burnt out I could hardly move. (Interestingly I'm feeling this way now. Hmmmm.)
And I think that the only way that I COULD quit was for my body to say. No. I couldn't give myself permission. And since I was so stressed I couldn't see any alternatives. I still suffer from PTSD from the experience. And I'm not kidding. Yeah it's not like in combat, but the same things were happening. Brain constantly awash with stress chemicals and a frenetic pace. Things got done in "Internet years" Someone who worked for me said that she did 3 years of work in one year with us. It was like a fraking badge of honor burning people up.
Some sick sh*t but that was the ethos.

Palin tax returns for 2006 and 2007 release
By RICHARD T. PIENCIAK, Associated Press Writer
Sarah Palin is the breadwinner and husband Todd is, well — he takes a lot of deductions for his fishing and snowmachine racing careers, according to 2007 and 2006 federal tax returns released Friday.
Sarah Palin makes $125,000 a year as Alaska governor. Plus, since she took the job in December 2006, she hasn't paid taxes on the more than $17,000 she received in controversial per diem payments for working out of the family's lakeside home in Wasilla — some 575 miles from the capital of Juneau.
For the 2007 tax year, Todd Palin's self-employment brought him $66,893 in gross receipts — $49,893 from fishing and $17,000 from snowmachine racing. But, the returns show, he claimed so many deductions that he reported only $15,513 net profit from the fishing operation and claimed a $9,639 loss from his racing, leaving him with an overall net income of only $5,874. In addition, Todd earned $43,519 last year working part-time on the North Slope for BP Exploration.
Hey, Toby, You're still a punk ass nazi bitch with a tiny, useless penis. No woman will have you (save for the really desperate crack whores you pay to piss in your face), no man respects you.
You're a tool of a party that will continue to fuck you over for their own profit.

One thing that helped with the stress is a conscious decision to not get into debt. Used car. No new clothes. Cook own food. No cable.
The funny thing is that the high stress life is actually very seductive at time. I like an adrenaline rush some times. And the things that scare other people, like public speaking, I enjoy. The problem is that I end up talking myself out of it because I think that when I start I won't be able to stop it.

I finally figured it out.
The Republicans are so busy giving reach arounds to each other that they don't have time to reach across the aisle to work with Democrats.
This is why Cheney rudely said what he said to Sen. Pat Leahy years ago on the Senate floor.
It explains McCain's snobby, almost hateful reaction to Sen. Barack Obama the other day on the Senate floor.
And so many other snubs by Republicans of Democrats over the years, like when the Republicans were running and ruining the U.S. Congress for twelve years. Snub, snub, snub. Spite, spite, spite. Hate, hate, hate.
The answer: the Republicans are too busy giving each other reach arounds for them to show anything but contempt for Democrats and our democracy in general.

The funny thing is that in real life I can be pretty funny. I realize that sometimes what I say isn't funny but HOW I say it and the timings. Being funny in your writing is often a whole other skill.
If you want to see some funny writing to go with photos you have to check out http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/
The photos of bad cakes are one thing, but the comments are what keep it going. Is she this funny in real life? She might be. I've found that performing stand up and writing funny material isn't always the same skill.

The jury has reached a verdict in O.J. Simpson's armed robbery and kidnapping trial in Las Vegas, a defense lawyer and a court official said Friday. Simpson and his co-defendant, Clarence "C.J." Stewart, face 12 counts, including conspiracy to commit a crime, robbery, assault and kidnapping with a deadly weapon. If convicted of the most serious charges, both could face life in prison
THIS IS BULLSHIT. Simpson was set-up and is being treated unfairly because of the prior incident (where he was found INNOCENT) and because of his conservative political views.

I come from a NYC National League family, Dodger fans, rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for US Steel, like that. Supported the Mets through 1962 on. Was delighted and flabbergasted with the 1969 series. I knew Seaver would be great, but was astonished when even Ron Swoboda, a lead-gloved fielder, made not one but two superb plays.

"We searched the records of the teaching hospitals in metropolitan Perth and those of the Keogh Institute for Medical Research for the diagnostic code for priapism. A total of 82 episodes of priapism in 63 patients occurred over this 16 year period. In all, 62 episodes occurred after intracavernosal injections (ICI) and 20 were due to other causes."
bill: that was just a lovely evening: beautiful weather, great company in generous and welcoming spirit, dinner at the best restaurant in the North End (Shaw Kenawe's house).
The North End is Boston's old Italian section; lots of restaurants that evening with open huge windows or patio doors, not a one but playing the Sox game. A good play or hit made, cheers echo off the pavement and around the old, narrow streets. And our boys were doing good; a splendid, open mood all around. Cities should be like that, just like that.

Sometimes a good typo can be the opposite of a Freudian slip. When I was studying Improv in SF and in Canada (the Loose Moose Theatre) we talked about mistakes as gifts.
I came up with another one the other day that I will use again.
I wrote dum beat instead of drum beat.
It was actually a better term. So from now on I'll use that.
The Dumb beat for war. Or the dumb beat for instant passage of the FISA bill.

I've lead some brainstorming naming sessions in the past. We came up with some fun crazy names. And it was a time where my crappy spelling skills paid off!
One company still uses the name we came up with as well as one Zoo exhibit. Another company used an alternative that we came up with. The VCs rejected the one they all liked. I pushed for an alternative because I know how some VCs think. The whole naming exercise was an exercise in ego and control. I was prepared for it so they got a name out of the process.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - O.J. Simpson, who went from American sports idol to celebrity-in-exile after he was acquitted of murder in 1995, was found guilty Friday of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Simpson, 61, could spend the rest of his life in prison. Sentencing was set for Dec. 5.

"Oh, I'm going to Rio."

"I got a better chance of getting laid."
Dramesi, who went on to serve as chief war planner for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and commander of a wing of the Strategic Air Command, was not surprised.

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — Suspected U.S. missiles hit buildings in two Pakistani villages close to the Afghan border, killing about 20 people, most of them alleged militants, officials said Saturday.
The United States has launched a flurry of strikes in recent weeks against suspected al-Qaeda and Taliban targets in northwestern Pakistan, straining ties between the two anti-terror allies.
Pakistan has been unwilling or unable to eliminate militant sanctuaries blamed for rising violence on both sides of the frontier. The region is a possible hiding place for al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.
Two Pakistani intelligence officers said two missiles believed to have been fired from American unmanned drones launched from neighboring Afghanistan hit two villages in the same district of the North Waziristan tribal region just before dusk on Friday.
One attack in Mohammadkhel village, some 28 miles (45 kilometers) west of Miran Shah, the region's main town, killed about 19 people, most of them alleged militants and including about a half-dozen foreigners, the officials said, citing agents in the field.
The intelligence officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media on the record.
Pakistan army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas also said initial reports indicated that 20 or more people were killed. He said there was "speculation" that many were foreign militants, but cautioned that the army was still awaiting a detailed report.
There were no reported casualties in the other strike in the village of Khata Kaly.
Lt. Nathan Perry, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan, said he had "no information to give" about the reported attacks. He did not deny U.S. involvement.
Friday's attack appeared to be the deadliest of 11 reported cross-border operations by U.S.-led forces since Aug. 20.
U.S. officials have acknowledged some of the strikes. However, they have provided few details, and casualty reports from the dangerous and remote border region are nearly impossible to verify.
Pakistan's military and civilian leaders have complained that the attacks violate the country's sovereignty, kill civilians and anger the local population, making it harder to crack down on the militants.
Militants on the Pakistan side of the border are blamed for a surge in attacks on U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan, where violence is running at its highest level since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion toppled the Taliban.
Extremists based in the border region are also blamed for rising attacks within Pakistan, including the Sept. 20 truck bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad that killed more than 50 people.

A non-profit organization has offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who can supply information tying Republican strategist Karl Rove and computer expert Michael Connell to illegally manipulated elections, according to a Friday press release.
Connell was subpoenaed September 22 to testify under oath in a federal lawsuit in Ohio regarding election rigging and vote manipulation in past elections as well as the upcoming presidential race, according to Raw Story.
He has refused to testify and tried to quash his subpoena.
Connell ran the Florida Government computer network during the presidential election of 2000 and the Ohio Secretary of State election computers during the presidential election of 2004.

After everyone gathered around his desk, he announced with authority: "Some person here defecated in the urinal. This is absolutely disgusting. I can't believe someone would do this. If you know who did it or have any information, get back to me and let me know right away."

"Why would anybody shit in the urinal?" one asked ponderously. Another co-worker remarked, with all honesty and understanding, "Maybe all the stalls were full and he really had to go." We all had a good laugh picturing some desperate gopher-holing it to his nearest available depository. "

As a dare-gale skylark scanted in a dull cage,
Man’s mounting spirit in his bone-house, mean house, dwells—
That bird beyond the remembering his free fells;
This in drudgery, day-labouring-out life’s age.
Though aloft on turf or perch or poor low stage,
Both sing sometímes the sweetest, sweetest spells,
Yet both droop deadly sómetimes in their cells
Or wring their barriers in bursts of fear or rage.
Not that the sweet-fowl, song-fowl, needs no rest—
Why, hear him, hear him babble and drop down to his nest,
But his own nest, wild nest, no prison.
Man’s spirit will be flesh-bound when found at best,
But uncumbered: meadow-down is not distressed
For a rainbow footing it nor he for his bónes rísen.
Wow the loser just regurgitates the same shit from the night before. We are talking about one sick and deranged pile of shit here.

The time of youth is to be spent
But vice in it should be forfent.
Pastimes there be, I nought truly,
Which one may use and vice deny.
And they be pleasant to God and man,
Those should we covet, win who can,
As feats of arms and such other
Whereby activeness one may utter.
Comparisons in them may lawfully be set,
For thereby courage is surely out fet.
Virtue it is then youth for to spend
In good disports which it doth fend.

The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.

Waking alone

Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.

But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot;
Or when the Moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed.

This is my favorite single line from a poem. What's yours?
annie
one line is too hard a question. i like dylan thomas and rimbaud because i can't quite understand them but still the poems resonate. here is one of my favorites by wallace stevens (see next comment - too long for this one). altho i really have no idea what it is supposed to mean, it is funny and always entertains me:
Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
Take from the dresser of deal.
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
As I said earlier, when the trolls get ignored and pwn3d here they, like McAint, is just left to fling the poo.
It's gonna be a sad sad last 30 days for the race if they are dredging for Atlas Juggs for their October surprise.

Even with Fournier's AP and Halperin's ABC and Gregory/Brokaw/Lauer/Williams at NBC and Bro Schieffer and softball Katie at CBS, the McAint campaign is breaking down.
:::Even a gutsy debate performance by Republican VP pick Sarah Palin late Thursday, in which she performed better than expected against her Democratic rival Joseph Biden, appears to not have been enough to turn the race around.:::
Who here found Palin's performance to be gutsy? Clueless, parrot-like, disjointed, but not "gutsy".
::: On Thursday the McCain campaign pulled out of Michigan, effectively surrendering the midwestern state to the Democrats, to focus instead on six swing states.
And with more bad news on the economic front, McCain was to retreat to his Arizona ranch for the weekend, in a highly unusual disappearing act at the height of the campaign.:::
Brave Sir McAint ran away. Suck on that, supposed Mich sockpuppet. Suspend your campaign and save the country 30 more days of misery watching your miserable failure of a campaign thrash about.
::: Missouri, where Thursday's debate was held, is one of the key states in play -- along with Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana and Ohio -- and Republicans there acknowledged there was work to be done.
"Senator McCain has to win Missouri to win the White House. So there is a strong commitment from the McCain-Palin campaign to make sure that we deliver Missouri," said the party's state executive director Jared Craighead.:::
North Carolina and INDIANA are toss up states? BWAHAHAHAHAA. Suck on that, Village Idiots.

I was pretty shocked. Went to a B-day party last night. There were about 20 people. One couple are still rethugs. Everyone else was absolutely appalled at Palin's performance. Even one lady who complained I talk too much politics wouldn't shut up about it. The way Palin handled her baby was topic number one. Perhaps the rethugs have finally gone too far in playing the public for fools.
IIRC McCain always takes the weekends off. With the debate on Tuesday he probably needs the prep time.

Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.
Henceforth I ask not good-fortune—I myself am good fortune;
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Strong and content, I travel the open road.
The earth—that is sufficient;
I do not want the constellations any nearer;
I know they are very well where they are;
I know they suffice for those who belong to them.
(Still here I carry my old delicious burdens;
I carry them, men and women—I carry them with me wherever I go;
I swear it is impossible for me to get rid of them;
I am fill’d with them, and I will fill them in return.)

V - I think I ate about 40 lbs of tomatoes when I was in SF (Aug/Sept). I went to the farmers market in Berkeley and loaded up - it was Valhalla. I ate them like apples. When it comes to produce, and other things, the distributors in Seattle use Alaska as a dumping ground for all the s__t. they can't sell in Seattle - but lots of folks up here are to stupid to catch on.

We likes our sleep in these parts:
Some people in Dartmouth got a rude awakening Thursday night, courtesy of Conservative candidate Wanda Webber.
A recorded telephone message of Ms. Webber making a pitch for votes in the Oct. 14 federal election went out after 10 p.m., hours later than the campaign intended.
Gordon Crowell of Dartmouth said he was so upset about receiving the late-night call that he paid a visit to the candidate’s campaign headquarters Friday morning to make his complaint in person.
Mr. Crowell, who delivers The Chronicle Herald and has to get up for work at 1:30 a.m., said he was asleep when his phone rang at 10:04 p.m. with Ms. Webber’s automated message. At first he thought the call was about his 78-year-old dad, who has liver cancer.
"I automatically thought it was that call coming," he said in an interview Friday.
"I went to their offices this morning and blasted them out. She started to apologize and I said, ‘I won’t even accept an apology.’ I said if there were charges that could be laid, I would lay them. That’s how upset I was."

'mornin'
Palin's performance was 'gutsy'? Well, she showed up, she didn't drool, she didn't fall asleep or fart loud enough to be heard. But it's a low bar indeed for a politician running for the vice presidency to by complimented for her courage when she participates in a public forum. Sexist, too, I might add.
Bush passed the bailout bill, bypassing Congress? Well, he'd perhaps say the unitary executive is constitutionally empowered to do whatever to save the country. It's no pmor outlandish than some of his other claims, such as the ability to, in his sole judgment, violate federal law as clearly written. But his irrelevance to the bailout's formulation, revision and passage was palpable.
