See you in a few hours.....


GravatarAs of this post I am the last person to post on this thread, on which I am posting.


GravatarOh many FoxFreep advertised on MSNBC, ewwww.

And now John Fund, double ewwwww.

It's been 10 hours since I blogwhored my ARISTOCRATS parody!

GravatarHave pleasant dreams Moonbootica.

Gravatarwow, just spent the last 5 mins. listening to jean schmitt(sp) can anyone say batshit crazy.

"we are the most crimson of the red" in other words, batshit crazy. i probably don't enirely agree with hacketts politics, but seemed a ballanced and reasonable person.

if people like jean keep getting elected to congress (and i bet she does) this country is truly fucked.

GravatarAnother great essay by driftglass. I rate his chops right up there with Digby. Bookmark him, now!

That was the astonishment of his re-election: that 51 million Americans looked a criminal in the eye, steeped in his crimes to the point of bloody saturation...and then looked at a genuine war hero, a grown-up and, for all his flaws, more of a statesman in any contiguous five minute period than Bush has ever been his whole, sorry life...


...and said, “I’d like a double scoop of Criminal Dumbass please. With extra treasonous sprinkles!”

GravatarWho is coaching rice to smile through interviews? Truly in poor form when she is smiling while talking about how the kids got blown up in Iraq yesterday. damn.


GravatarYowza! You gotta quick on an open thread:

So, that's what was in the sewer!


GravatarCan't decide if I should go out tonight and attempt to do something fun with my remaining weekends of youth, or stay in and just relax, on account of it was a rough week.

Going out may be boring, but staying in, I'll probably get all riled up reading GOP crimes against humanity here.

OH decisions, decisions.


GravatarAnyone know where we could get "Better Dead Than Red" pins, etc. from the first McCarthy era? It's time to reclaim that catchphrase. And how about the old bit about Reds under the bed, given that they all seem to be perverted, obsessed with other people's sex lives, or both?


GravatarI'm still banned, so I guess this thread is safe from Toby.


GravatarDavid (Austin Tx) - Um, I think that was me. Talking to HBK:
As I said on a prior thread I got laid off today. I was working for TD Waterhouse who sold their back office to ADP and their front office to Ameritrade. I worked in their back office. It's kind of hard to explain what I do but it has to do with processing tenders and exchanges. It's called reorg in the trade.
HBK - Can you be re-sold to either ADP or Ameritrade? Or are they going to outsource all of it? Doesn't really matter - except for instantly go get yourself hired by Edward Jones or Arthur Andersen. Or - American Express. That's www.americanexpress.com. I'm sorry, cookie. You don't even really have time for a deep breath. Good luck.


GravatarI really do like my job but there are days like this where I just can't leave soon enough.


GravatarI think I'm going to have to see that Firefly movie in September.

GravatarKent™ Embigulator, Master of metals,

I bought an antique tire gauge at an estate sale today. It's made of brass, and it's been bent out of shape a little at the upper end. Do you think I might be able to bend it back without breaking it?


GravatarFWIW -

Based upon the previous thread - only 12 respondents - the Average Atriot is 44.67 years old.

G'evenin', middle-aged bats.

GravatarYou absolutely HAVE TO watch the Hardball interview with that Schmidt reptile! David Gregory was subbing and did a great job. She was trying to shout over him, completely lost her dignity and came across a brainwashed, Wingnutspeak regurgitarian. Nothing new, nothing original, just a fucking angry Wing-bot - and an ugly ass one at that.

It was absolutely brilliant to watch, best 5 minutes of TV I've seen sice Scotty was getting pounded at Treasongate pressers. If the 2-OH wasn't so GOP leaning already, Hackett wouldn't have had to even spend a dime if voters saw this interview. Just a train wreck for and by Schmidt. While not quite at the Zell Miller level, she was starting to get there..

GravatarCentral Scrutinizer, why do you want to bend it back? You don't plan on using it do you? If you are truly collecting it, remember the Road Show folks always say it's best to leave it alone, you risk making it worse.

Whats to say the local yocals wont pick up the interview and spread the cheer around?

I really don't think voters like angry politicians.


GravatarThat was the astonishment of his re-election: that 51 million Americans looked a criminal in the eye,





I am of the belief that he won by 'shenanigans'(voter suppression, diebold manipulation, etc...) but nevertheless he was close enough to win that way which means you've got a lot of people voting for him who have uh 'cognitive dissonance'......the old slogans are empty now yet they hold a nostalgic ring of truth...

49-40 or fight!

HoneyBear,

I was serious about my offer in the thread below (which I can no longer get into because of my dial-up connection deficits).

Just let me know.


Gravatar
Central,

I would say that the chances are even. I presume that the bend impairs the usefullness or accuracy of the tool, no?

Provided that the wall thickness is not too thin, and that the carefull application of force using a couple of half round or V block, a vice or c-clamp, should straighten things out.

What is the diameter of the material, and can you give me a ballpark on the tubing wall thickness?

I might just whip up a custom block, as that would be an excuse to go ahead and make that slitting saw arbor I have been meaning to get around to.

Don't I know it. Too many consolidating businesses too. Do try Amex tho, right away. And Schwab - before others get there before you. It's tough - I heard today that GM has sold almost all their loans to BofA, which is another hint.


GravatarCentral Scrutinizer, why do you want to bend it back? You don't plan on using it do you?

pseudolus,

It's a little banged-up from much use so it doesn't have any real value- I found one in mint condition on a site that had an asking price of $20. It still works perfectly though, so I was going to give it to my brother.


GravatarSmalfish--in view of the fact that neither has genitals, yes.


GravatarHoneyBear Kelly, are you in NY? I have no idea if they're hiring, but I can forward your resume to Bear. I still know people there.

yikes, and I just got word that Key Bank USA just sold their car loan biz to Capital One... some major bank restructuring going on?


GravatarI gotta say, given the choice between the Sunday morning yammering heads and GOP Puke Funnels, or Queer Eye, I'm watching Queer Eye and sleeping late on Sundays.

So I scored some DVDs recently. Animal House, the Double Secret edition, and the Night Stalker/Night Strangler TV movies on DVD.

Carl Kolchak, where are you when we need you today?

I also got National Treasure, the Nick Cage film about the map on the back of the Declaration of Independence.

Great escapist fun.

Watched my Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas DVD the other day. Depp is an acting genius. He WAS HST.


GravatarBank restructuring? That's a good sign.


GravatarBut if you don't announce your b-day, how do you get cake and presents?

I'm too old for cake or presents.

I'm happy to talk about mulch tho.


GravatarWhat is the diameter of the material, and can you give me a ballpark on the tubing wall thickness?

I can't get a measurement on it, but it's fairly thick, if weight is an indicator.

If there's a chance I could break it, I'll just leave well enough alone.

Thank you.


GravatarI think I'm going to have to see that Firefly movie in September.


Me too.

I didn't get home in time to see the crazy woman on Hardball. I'll have to see the rerun later.

Gravatar"Based upon the previous thread - only 12 respondents - the Average Atriot is 44.67 years old.

So I'm just a liiitle younger than average.

That's me, always slightly below average.


GravatarSpeaking of Depp, you folks, if you're feeling depressed for some unknown reason (I mean, the world today, what could possibly get you down?) you should see Ed Wood.

Kind of a nice loser triumph movie. Of course the triumph is subjective.


GravatarMena--clean/spontaneous/dark pour moi.


GravatarAs a rule, if I remember from the days when I knew this stuff, you sell your loans to produce quick money for the parts of your business that aren't doing so well. Selling your loans isn't a very good sign generally, not one of health. Loans are actual things on which money can be made.


GravatarI think Colvin Run Tavern is the best restaurant in the entire Washington, D.C. area. I really do. OK, maybe it's tied with Nora.


Gravatar''fling ancient russian samover''





statistics show that ancient Russian samovers are primarily owned by environmentalists who eat cous cous once a month, drive an orange automobile, exercise 14 times a week, feel a fondness for george burns and gracie allen routines, adore Saturn, pledge allegience to picnic baskets, and believe the bicycle is the highest form of invention.


GravatarWhy would they do that?

Liquidity.

It goes on all the time in the lending business. You make the loans, package them and sell them off.

The real money is in servicing.


GravatarOmnes, maybe, secretly, Schmidt likes Louisville or Kentucky instead of OSU. Of course, she's probably just a stupid, whiny ass titty baby.

Great story: I know a lawyer who was called in to try and fix a poorly-written brief where BofA was the petitioner. Throughout the brief, they referred to themselves as BofA. He kept telling them, "You're the Bank of America, for God's sake! Who would want to rule against the Bank of America? Why are you calling yourself BofA?" They didn't change it -- word limitations.

GravatarSteve Colbert: "Around the Vatican, that New Pope Smell is fading..."

ROTFLMAO!


Gravatarstatistics show that ancient Russian samovers are primarily owned by environmentalists who eat cous cous once a month,

Maman bought it from the Princess Obolensky's shop in Calgary - and the Princess bought it from a pack of Russian emigres who'd hauled it across Siberia strapped to a saddle, all the way to Vladivostok and to safety in Canada. You can still smell the scent of the coals in it, and see the five crowns stamp and the dents from where it banged against other things. It lost its little teapot tho.

Go on about your business as if it wasn't here, I tellya. Run the latest rumors about the Missing White Woman, or the Wilson Slam piece again, for the umpteenth time. Don't worry about the elephant. If we ignore it, it will go away.

But, but, our viewership is collapsing! Our sponsors, especially the U.S. Army and the oil platform guys, are getting pissed! No bang any more for their buck they say, and they're upset!

Hey, in the end it's all taxpayer money anyway, so don't worry about it I tellya! You know our slogan, "Remember Judy Miller!"

If you would like to send it to me, I would be happy to take a gander at bringing it back into service.

I must add, that I would not touch it if I thought there was a chance of breakage.

That made me laugh out loud. I love Colbert. But not like Keith.


GravatarMy test came out 60% dark (just like my favorite chocolate!), 26% spontaneous, and 27% vulgar (no surprise there). It threw me in The Wit category. (A bug in the program apparently left the "nit-" part out.)

What I loved was seeing the surroundings to Fielding's former gravatar -- remember the kitty in the green field? He appears in the test, only he's being chased by these weird puppet-looking things, and the caption reads, "Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten."


GravatarHecate sez:

earl in toronto - Lotta leftover Russian royalty in the west - the Princess Obolensky was a great one tho. She even extended her reach to having a particularly elegant shop in Phoenix - like that in Calgary, the items did not have price tags on them. You bought them or not, but if you did, the Princess would send the bill to your husband or 'friend'. I remember something that Maman had been bargaining over for several months that Pop saw and just decided to buy. For considerably more than if he had held his tongue.

you can't tell how far away things are if you have poor depth perception. so theoretically someone could sneak up on you before you knew it. aw, if you have to explain it it aint funny anymore...

GravatarWe used to work for BofA back in the day. Still had some Bank of Italy stationery kicking around.
When it was absorbed by Nations (What Would Jeebus Do?) Bank, the New Insect Overlords actually wanted to inflict their name on the new organization and move HQ to Charlotte. Saner heads prevailed, so the NIO settled for sacking all the women in management (after we'd quit, praise Bast)and ordered the tellers to wear WWJD? buttons. This went over like Jonah Goldberg and Ben Shapiro as wedding crashers.


Gravatarhow does poor depth perception work? or not work?

One eye is significantly different than the other in visual acuity. I'm nearsighted in my left eye and farsighted in my right.

Your humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't in and of themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top. Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.

Bush To London Bombers: 'Bring It On'
WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush officially responded to the latest round of London transit bombings Monday, challenging terrorists to "do their worst." Said Bush, in a televised statement from the Oval Office: "The proud and resilient people of London can take anything the forces of evil and cowardice can throw at them. They will never live in fear of you. Bring it on." Prime Minister Tony Blair thanked Bush for his comments, inviting him to visit London and ride the Underground in a show of solidarity.

GravatarThere's such good stuff in today's invaluable Cursor we're just going to reprint a few:

"
"If the Democrats were an actual opposition party," writes Tom Engelhardt, the nomination of Judge John Roberts "would be an open-and-shut case," by virtue of the judge's "unknown but all-too-real hand in taking the election from them" in Florida in 2000.

After U.S. Congressional candidate and Iraq vet Paul Hackett told USA Today, "I've said I don't like the son-of-a-b--- that lives in the White House. But I'd put my life on the line for him," the Cincinnati Enquirer quoted a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee as saying that because Hackett said that, "we decided to bury him."

Although a Pentagon survey found almost a third of returning Iraq vets suffering from mental health problems, a Virginia newspaper ran an American Forces Press Service account under the headline, 'Study shows improved mental health for Soldiers in Iraq.'
"

Dave Neiwert's warnings of fringe extremism merely being a rightist research cutting-edge or testing flagpole just got another unwanted endorsement:

"
After reading Paul Speery's pro-profiling op-ed, Joshua Holland comments that the author of the book, "Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington," has "written for WorldNetDaily and David Horowitz's FrontPage Mag. And now the Times."
"

And, to end, good old nonpartisan Brian Lamb:

"
Two weeks after CPB chairman Kenneth Tomlinson agreed to debate Bill Moyers, he appeared on C-SPAN's "Q & A," where host Brian Lamb staged a "mini-debate" by having Tomlinson react to Moyers' May speech criticizing him.

GravatarRobin Hood In Reverse

Did Al Franken's liberal radio network Air America divert city money for the elderly and inner-city children to itself? That's the question people should be asking this week after the revelation that the New York Department of Investigation is looking into whether hundreds of thousands of dollars were illegally transferred from a Bronx community center to Air America. Only a community paper and a few Internet bloggers seem interested in what could be an egregious case of illegal funneling of tax dollars to a private, partisan organization.
In late June, city officials designated the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club, a nonprofit organization that runs mentoring programs for children and day care for Alzheimer's patients, a "non-responsible city contractor." Investigators found "significant inappropriate transactions and falsified documents that were submitted to various City agencies." The city subsequently suspended the club's contracts, which run well into the millions.
It turns out, according to sources quoted anonymously by the Bronx News, that the mishandled money went to Air America. One source claims that $480,000 was wrongly transferred. The city investigation is concentrating on Charles Rosen, the club's president for 15 years, and Evan Cohen, the development director, who is a former chairman of Air America. Mr. Cohen resigned from Air America in May after the network's leasing plans in Chicago, San Francisco and elsewhere fell through.


Thanks for stealing from us, Air America. You guys are the best. Fucking monsters.

GravatarAir America's parent corporation Piquant LLC issued an "explanation" yesterday but did not deny the allegations. It instead tried to pin them on Air America's previous owners, on whose watch the transfer is said to have occured. That won't wash.
Most of the mainstream newspapers have ignored this story. We only found out about it through the reporting of Brian Maloney, who pieced a story together on his blog "The Radio Equalizer" which was picked up by syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin. The New York Daily News buried an item at the end of a column of news briefs. There was nothing in the New York Times, which has heaped flattering coverage on the flailing network.
Air America is struggling to find listeners, leaders and reliable funding. But should it take money from children and the ailing elderly? Al Franken and Randi Rhodes, ever the defenders of the "little guy," should explain this one.


Al and Randi are a bunch of shitbat phonies who steal from poor kids to keep their failing station afloat. We are going to hang them out to dry, the greedy fucks.

GravatarIt would be interesting to see how different age groups compare. I'm 68% darker than other people my age. But how dark are people my age?

It would seem that I am 99% darker 99% more spontaneous, and 99% more vulgar than those in my age group.

I am not sure I would contest those numbers.

Sallyh,

It's true.

rorschach, the New York City Department of Investigations would like to hear from you. You have their number, right?


GravatarRipley--re Santorum and Gucky:

You know what they say about couples who've been together a long time, that they start looking like one another?


GravatarWell, my Nazi test results I know are accurate, because they match my attitudes 100% re: Bush, so I'd guess the humor was pretty accurate.

And now that I understand the numbers, I'm 60% dark. So I assume people my age are -8% dark. Wimps.


Gravatarpossible moods of post.

Third from the left.


GravatarHow many different names will the Air America troll use?


GravatarMeanwhile, it's been fun reading about those fundies going after Frist.

I've never even heard of most of these organizations, but they're getting their 15 seconds of fame.

Yes, 15 seconds.


GravatarYou're all pretty cute with your crushes on Keith. Just remember, he's already taken.

You and your party are the greedy fucks. You know that.

There is, of course, no such department.

I can't wait for the indictements, LMFAO!

GravatarThanks GWPDA and Diane.
I will certainly check it out.
I was just having some pizza.
My layoff will give me lots of time for my getting rid of Gregory Meeks (D-NY 6CD) project, my scumbag congress critter.

Hilarious.


GravatarMe? 22. I think I'm the youngest person here. Usually, anyway.

I think. I can drink. Might be 23. But don't remember that birthday.


GravatarCong Duke Cunningham's lawyer on latest revelations...

"If public money is involved, then I am sure he would support an accounting," Blalack said of Cunningham. "It's like asking if he supports apple pie."


Bwha ha ha ha

First Auditors' three principals and their Washington lobbyist donated a total of $11,600 to Cunningham's campaign and political action committee between 2001 and 2005.

I guess he could have taken a bigger slice. This SOB war hero (Republican) is still in Congress and still voting with no action pending that I'm aware of. The Country really has descended into the shitter.


GravatarI can't wait for the indictements

You'll be waiting a long time...


GravatarI think I also fit my astrological profile, which doesn't seem to make sense, since I don't understand how that could have any bearing whatsoever.

He took ours too!


GravatarThe expression "Still waters run deep" was, in my humble opinion, created to describe Scorpios.


Hecate,

I've been told that.

Didn't I see a post from you awhile back where you said that you are an INTJ?

I'm an INTP.


GravatarEver notice how the rightwring copies everything the lefties do?


GravatarWhy does Air America steal from us?


Gravataractually, kei and i work for the new york city department of investigations. we have shiny badges and a window office and our own inscribed departmental pens and a sassy manner that will not brook doors closed in our pure yet pert faces!! no knock-off factory or ethnic restaurant is safe from the nycdi!









actually the office is a bunk bed with a desk pushed up to it and a special investigative dark room made with extra bedsheets. but it does have a window.

our 'contract' with mr. olbermann includes 'tin can' removal so I think I can safely respond in the negative!!!


GravatarWe were so much better off before Air America came to town and set up shop. Why do they hate us?


Gravatar*rightwing*

I prefer rightwring. As in they are wringing every drop they can out of the treasury.

Why does Paul Bremmer steal from us? Why does Halliburton steal from us? Why does Exxon steal from us? Why does Ahmad Chalabi steal from everybody?

Its unfortunate that you want to limit free speech,. Why do you hate America?

GravatarHey. Anyone recognize this gravatar? >>>>>>

(I'm really happy that I found it and now I have to go download the episodes to relive my childhood).


GravatarOh, ignore the inner city child. It *is* just a child.

"When I was a child I spoke as a child; I understood as a child; I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things."


GravatarI have no summer programs because Al Franken stole my money. It was a waste too, Air America is still a failure.


GravatarI just noticed my gravatar is missing!

I was too freaking tired to notice it.

Interesting. I didn't get home until 7:45 and my first post was to HBK.

I always notive when others have new gravatars but don't pay attention to mine.

Oh, well. Onward and upward.


GravatarIs it just me, or does Rick Santorum look a little bit like Jeff Gannon with a bad toupee?

have they ever been seen together?


Gravatar Me? 22. I think I'm the youngest person here. Usually, anyway.


Well friend, you remind me, of me, about 18 years ago. It's a tough road, but it is worth it.

GravatarI'm starting my own investigative unit too.


actually remember the canadians who tried to cross the border to search for WMD in the u.s.a.?

I don't think anyone said, 'Come on Down!'

GravatarSeebach,

When I was 22 I didn't pay much attention to politics. I spent 90% of my time chasing women, partying and seeking hedonistic pleasures.

The remaining 10% I spent foolishly.


GravatarI'm waiting for the point of no return, at which nothing is redeemable, but them I'm going to the full bore hedonism, honest.


GravatarTHEN CONSIDER YOUR MONKEY PANTS INVESTIGATED!


Gravatarimagine disliking Al Franken.
it's puzzling.
The guy is passionate, funny, warm, caring, empathetic, friendly, sarcastic, pointed, insightful.


it's like wanting to be the sort of person who sits in a rocking chair cuddling a pickerel.

'we're not going out. I have to return Splashy to the freezer in half an hour.'


GravatarSeebach,

I have a similar plan.


Gravatar THEN CONSIDER YOUR MONKEY PANTS INVESTIGATED!

D'oh!

But...but...it was just a Buffy reference! Promise!

Please stop beating me!


GravatarI really had an awesome time on nitrous at the dentist a couple weeks ago. Growing up neurotic and afraid I keep away from caffeiene. But I think I need something really big to keep nasty old reality from intruding in soon.

You left out greedy and thieving. Or don't we matter?


Gravatar Seebach,
Friend, you are most welcome.

GravatarI am probably the only militant pro-pot legalization fanatic who actually almost had a nervous breakdown when I saw someone smoking it for the first time.

And I still never have.
