Another 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!”
Who 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.

Can'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.
Anyone 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?

David (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.

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

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.

As 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.

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...

We 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.

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.

There'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.

Robin 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.

If you need something to keep you awake nights... here's a look at what may be in Cheney's mind for us. Plan A is falling apart. Plan B is in the wings.
Might be real. Jesse says:
Some rumors eventually prove to be accurate foreknowledge. I hope that this one turns out to be silly paranoia spawned by someone (me) who gets too much email and worries too much!
If you tell me he's a Scientologist, I'll cry.

Does anyone else here ever wonder if the Dems and the Reps are 2 halves of the same coin? A false opposition to just keep as pacified, with a battle... When the war was over long ago?
I agree.
THe dems and the rebubs have snookered the entire country.
IF that didn't work the first hundred times that you tried it, it's not very likely to work on the hundred and first. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Just sayin'

So the Washington Nationals baseball games are now carried on the local Fox TV channel in DC and the radio broadcast includes many ads for Fox News Channel. This from a team whose symbol is a dubya. We need to get Soros in there fast.

Air 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.

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.

It 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.

Well, 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.

Cong 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.
