Well, the "accuracy" part comes from exposure to Olbermann.

Jennifer, though when I added in "DSLR" to the search "digital camera" I found nothing Below $550.00 and that was a Nikon body with no lenses.
On second thought maybe ebay doesn't have what you want.
Some of the digital cameras that are DSLR like cameras without the removable lenses might be less then $500.00 and would give you the features you really need.

Hey scoop!
Oh, and here's a reminder of how Joe "WATB" Klein furiously attacked Jacob Weisberg in a restaurant for "falsely" accusing him of being the author of Primary Colors.
People forget that Klein had for months been suspected of being the author, but had heatedly denied it. And of course Newsweek stood behind him all the way -- and instead of firing his ass when he was shown to be lying, went after his critics hammer and tongs.

A Philadelphia apartment. A sweaty blogger in a grey turtleneck sits at his laptop. Two cats, upset at not being photographed recently, tip over his martini.
SWEATY BLOGGER: Crap!
He gets up, but is distracted by an iron-shaped object on the mantlepiece.
SWEATY BLOGGER: What the hell is that?
Meanwhile, the martini liquid seeps beneath the laptop's keyboard. Click! Whirr! THREADBOT... LIVES!!!!

Hi, all.
While we're waiting for the next thread, consider responding to this:
2/3/06
Friends,
How would you like to be in my next movie? I know you've probably heard I'm making a documentary about the health care industry (but the HMOs don't know this, so don't tell them -- they think I'm making a romantic comedy).
If you've followed my work over the years, you know that I keep a pretty low profile while I'm making my movies. I don't give interviews, I don't go on TV and I don't defrost my refrigerator. I do keep my website updated on a daily basis (there's been something like 4,000,000 visitors just this week alone) and the rest of the time I'm... well, I can't tell you what I'm doing, but you can pretty much guess. It gets harder and harder sneaking into corporate headquarters, but I've found that just dying my hair black and wearing a skort really helps.
Back to my invitation to be in my movie. Have you ever found yourself getting ready to file for bankruptcy because you can't pay your kid's hospital bill, and then you say to yourself, "Boy, I sure would like to be in Michael Moore's health care movie!"?
Or, after being turned down for the third time by your HMO for an operation they should be paying for, do you ever think to yourself, "Now THIS travesty should be in that 'Sicko' movie!"?
Or maybe you've just been told that your father is going to have to just, well, die because he can't afford the drugs he needs to get better -- and it's then that you say, "Damn, what did I do with Michael Moore's home number?!"
OK, here's your chance. As you can imagine, we've got the goods on these crooks. All we need now is to put a few of you in the movie and let the world see what the greatest country ever in the history of the universe does to its own people, simply because they have the misfortune of getting sick. Because getting sick, unless you are rich, is a crime -- a crime for which you must pay, sometimes with your own life.
About four hundred years from now, historians will look back at us like we were some sort of barbarians, but for now we're just the laughing stock of the Western world.
So, if you'd like me to know what you've been through with your insurance company, or what it's been like to have no insurance at all, or how the hospitals and doctors wouldn't treat you (or if they did, how they sent you into poverty trying to pay their crazy bills) ...if you have been abused in any way by this sick, greedy, grubby system and it has caused you or your loved ones great sorrow and pain, let me know.
Send me a short, factual account of what has happened to you -- and what IS happening to you right now if you have been unable to get the health care you need. Send it to michael@michaelmoore.com. I will read every single one of them (even if I can't respond to or help everyone, I will be able to bring to light a few of your stories).
Thank you in advance for sharing them with me and trusting me to try and do something about a very c

sallyh,
here's something for you...
Oh, the rest:
Thank you in advance for sharing them with me and trusting me to try and do something about a very corrupt system that simply has to go.
Oh, and if you happen to work for an HMO or a pharmaceutical company or a profit-making hospital and you have simply seen too much abuse of your fellow human beings and can't take it any longer -- and you would like the truth to be told -- please write me at michael@michaelmoore.com. I will protect your privacy and I will tell the world what you are unable to tell. I am looking for a few heroes with a conscience. I know you are out there.
Thank you, all of you, for your help and your continued support through the years. I promise you that with "Sicko" we will do our best to give you not only a great movie, but a chance to bring down this evil empire, once and for all.
In the meantime, stay well. I hear fruits and vegetables help.
Yours,
Michael Moore

BOEHNER GETS HEAD JOB!
I guess he had some pull!
Particularly since he seems to be threatening to bring bad joke books into my house, as per metacomments.
I wonder if I still have the one from *my* childhood. I *still* use one of the gags in it from time to time...
I read the new Vonnegut book last week. He says many funny things, but one of the funniest is when he talks about how he is 82 years old, and he can't believe that the leaders of his country are named Bush, Dick and Colin.
Bad joke books.. that's a stoppable offense. Okay, *ahem* ELI MUST BE ... what? Time's up? But I'm not done..

THREADBOT is now a 600-foot-tall monster devouring Philadelphia. It eats the Liberty Bell like it was a Hershey's Kiss! It kills 2,000 innocent pedestrians with a single gulp, bit sinde it also eats Gary Ruppert, most people are cool with this. But then... in an act of Utter Depravity -- It checks into a NON-UNION HOTEL! Screams of despair reach the High Heavens.
Texas. Midnight. A man looks up from his computer.
MAN. Would I rather write more of my dissertation or go to Philly and singlehandedly take on an enormous monster with the power to crush out life and hope in a single massive swipe of its mighty claws?

The latest revelations about Bushboy planning on making war on Iraq regardless of what the weapon inspectors found, as he told Blair, and the fact that he considered sending American spy planes disguised as UN planes is just another overt piece of evidence for the depraved moron's impeachment.
At some point, I expect we will find out the Bush had some plan that involved sharks with frickin' lasers, that was nixed only after Blair had convinced him that there aren't any sharks in the desert.
L.A. has extremes. I remember the weather reports when I first got here in the summer - "70 degrees at the beach, 101 in Burbank"

I am developing the script of a new Sci-Fi movie. A Philadelphia blogger neglects his cats and as a result THREADBOT comes alive and begins destroying the city.

It has already claimed the lives of Gary Ruppert and someone from Hong Kong who criticized the script.

The desolation of winter is good for the soul. It reminds us that our existence is temporary and that the cycle of life continues unabated.
There is a mercy in the stillness of the winter fog that belies the turmoil of life continuing. For within the darkness of the winter's night lie the promises of spring days and the sun's warmth returning. It is not a pleasant time but it is not unpleasant either: it is.
I have thought about this crazy place I live in and I am reminded that the change is important. For in knowing change we understand our lives a little better.

"Tenth Planet" Larger Than Pluto, Study Confirms
http://news.nationalgeographic.c...html?
source=rss
Scientists have measured the size of a solar system object discovered last year and confirmed that it is larger than Pluto.
The icy object, called 2003 UB313, is located in the far reaches of the solar system. It measures 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometers) in diameter. Pluto, by contrast, measures 1,400 miles (2,300 kilometers).
The finding has fueled the debate over what constitutes a planet. Pluto is traditionally considered the ninth planet in our solar system (see interactive map).
Some scientists argue that 2003 UB313 should now be considered the tenth planet of our solar system. Others say Pluto's status as a planet should be reconsidered.
"Since UB313 is decidedly larger than Pluto, it is now increasingly hard to justify calling Pluto a planet if UB313 is not also given this status," said Frank Bertoldi, an astronomer at the University of Bonn and Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy in Germany.
Bertoldi led the study, which will be reported in tomorrow's issue of the journal Nature.

Threadbot comes to the lair of a record collector and vintage zealot in Southern Wisconsin. Threadbot is overwhelmed by the stacks of 45s, LPs, and 78s. It listens, transfixed, to trivial anecdotes about each recording.
Then it smells the bakery downstairs, and scrambles down the stairs - only to be met by a brigade of bakers, armed with trays of pazcki.
It eats all the bakery's pazcki, but soon discovers that many were filled with the traditional Polish filling: prunes.
Within hours, it is writhing in flatulant distress, and subdued by the remaining Atriots. And the world is saved.

Did Curly survive the Threadbot?
to avoid paying him a per diem
Fucking typical!
WHERE ARE THE CATS, DAMMIT???
cats cats my kingdom for de cats
Ooooh. I'm in the script
SCENE THREE HUNDRED FIVE. ECHIDNE and KARIN inform the LEAGUE OF HOT SCIENCE BABES that THREADBOT is about to eat NTODD, ELI, and RORSCHACH. They all decide to take ACTION, in the form of having a nice brunch with very nice mimosas.
Thers
Mmmmm. Mimosas.
Thanks for the camera advice. I think I've found the model I like - probably for a few $ more than $500 - the Olympus Evolt E-300.
Schweeeet
Sandy-LA 90034: Did Curly survive the Threadbot?
He did -- he spent all of 90 seconds on the balcony, before bolting back inside. He's a wet... kitty, now.
.
They all decide to take ACTION, in the form of having a nice brunch with very nice mimosas.
Thers
Nononono!!
We went over and took pitchers as well....
Scene 305: cue SALLYH with brunch.
May we have a hideous torture scene involving THREADBOT and TROLL, please?
Mmmmm. Mimosas.
Shave, and we'll consider it.
They all decide to take ACTION, in the form of having a nice brunch with very nice mimosas
And sallyh brings desert...

Yah! I love it when progressives save the day. Too bad for simels that he was on the Upper West Side drinking elitist chardonnay.
OK I'm off to get scantily clad and go to sleep.
A hearty BONER! and a fond goodnight to you all.
Peace
peace
peace.
With love from Speedy.
Good night.
I once killed a threadbot with my bare hands.
Drivin' by with a quick hello. I could sense that bacon was being discussed, if ever so briefly. Gotta get up early for a class I'm taking.
One thing: has anybody heard anything about when The Switch-Hitting Manimals go on tour?
"he spent all of 90 seconds on the balcony, before bolting back inside. He's a wet... kitty, now."
Such a silly boy! But he sure does provide laughs.
Figures that an independent creature that kowtows to no one would be anathema to a winger.
Yes, an independent ball of useless fur that yaks up hairballs, scratches the shit out of everything you own, and stinks....... what an anathema to me......
Mmmmm. Mimosas.
Shave, and we'll consider it.
NYMary
Really? No cute little goatee?
'Night, speedy!
I once killed a threadbot with my bare hands.
Just to watch it die?

I can do that. I've taken improvisational theater classes.
Iran threatens full scale NUCLEAR STRIKE on United States.
Hot science babes don't have goatees. Not even soul patches.

"Oz" life lessons: "You should have just taken the blow job when I offered it."
Costume design it is!
What's the name of this thing anyway?
Manimals on the loose in my neighborhood
Light, sweet crude, ohhhhhmchhhh (drool)
My favorite bit was when TROLL dies the slow, painful (but silent) death.
Kind of giggling here. Local weather (Grand Rapids, MI) just called it: six to ten inches of snow on Detroit tomorrow night.
i kilt me a bot when i was only three
Do you wear a threadskin cap?
Sandy-LA 90034: Such a silly boy! But he sure does provide laughs.
Indeed, he does. I can understand his wanting to be out there in the morning, since the birds are in peak activity... but at night, in the rain? Like you said -- silly.
.
Yes. I'm one bad motherfucker!
Shut your mouth!
Talkin' 'bout NTodd!
good evening Moonbats....very tired after a long week in the swamps.
NTodd, and all of you, I hope that you are doing ok.
My best regards to you all before I toddle off to a G&T induced nap.
I once killed a threadbot with my bare hands.
It's easier to just bite their heads off. Fun to watch them run around for a few seconds before they cark it.

DWD - Challenged
Perfect weather for Doug Flutie to win another Grey Cup.
SCENE FIVE HUNDRED. THREADBOT devours Florida. Mrs Ibrahim al-Jeffari points out that THREADBOT can't perform in the spread offense, which causes THREADBOT to eat Bobby Bowden. The nation shrugs.
TERRY C and AHIANNE bring some tomato juice and another bottle of vodka to THE LEAGUE OF SCIENCE BABES headquarters. NIM makes delicious cheese blintzes, bravely, in the face of Ultimate Horror.
In the bar, ELI makes up puns, RORSCHACH invents a new way of not putting vermouth into a martini, and NTODD puts the finidhing touches on his opera about a fire hydrant.
Iran threatens full scale NUCLEAR STRIKE on United States.
Butbut ... the U.S. regime supported the Iranian regime's hate amendment at the UN.
What gives?
We went over and took pitchers as well....
Do you mean pitchers or pictures?
Don't be so hard on yourself.

Fuck liberals. Fuck all of you and your bias and USA hatred.
Like Speedy, I love you all, but my back is screeching. Bed, movie, joy at tomorrow not being a fookin' work-day.
Hot science babes don't have goatees. Not even soul patches.
Well, not on the face...

Oh lookie!

Pity they're playing the "Big Game" in a wussy dome.
One thing: has anybody heard anything about when The Switch-Hitting Manimals go on tour?

this can now be cured through christianity camps. you simply have the father man or animal force man or animal activties upon the man or animal progeny... oh yeah and have the father shower with said progeny
Is it the Grand Rapids teevee weatherman that has the weather ball? We visit friends north of Muskegon and we just love that weather ball. And the weather deck.
I'm one bad motherfucker!
Watt cho mouth.
But I'm talkin' about NTodd...
Fuck liberals. Fuck all of you and your bias and USA hatred.
Speaking on manimal hybrid experiments run amok...
I wouldn't mind having the long legs and, er, flanks, of say, a giraffe or a horse.
ok. i'm back to my regular name. i'm pretty sure either davey crocket or daniel boone was alleged to have kilt a bar when he was only three. can't remember which though. these bogus american frontier myths all sort of blur together.
speaking of name changing, i've been thinking about calling myself "entifada encantada". what do you guys think of that name?
a new way of not putting vermouth into a martini
Betty, hold my glasses. I'm going in.
OOoooh, I actually have some Bloody Mary mix! Course I usually drink it mixed with tomato juice.

I hear it in the song, Olaf, so it has to be Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.
And I like the new handle. Or were you also considering Manimal Switchgrass?
ok. i'm back to my regular name. i'm pretty sure either davey crocket or daniel boone was alleged to have kilt a bar when he was only three. can't remember which though.
D. Boone, IIRC.
Now he's wiretappin' Iranin' manimals on Mars

Yes.
Good catch. "Pitchers" is rather confusing in that context, innit?
Thanks, DWD, that's them -- and I hope they're right about six to ten on Detroit for the big game. Just cause. -- Next time we're up there I'll look you up.

Olaf was a pacifist, and i admire him for that. i myself am not, though. i lack the courage and self discipline required by pacifism. but i will always respect Olaf for the two lines he speaks in his own voice in the poem.
1.) i will not kiss your fucking flag.
2.) there is some shit i will not eat.
Damn! Does my band get the gig in the *bar* or what? Um.. I mean... Please? I'll work for scale. Okay, okay, *I'll* pay *you*. This is my big break...
http://www.link2rock.com/whiskeyina/
We have a gig tomorrow night at Elevens in Northampton, check us out. Please??
So... you're saying there's no need to dress up?
no, she'll be pushing people around....
Dan'l Boone were the one that kilt the bar.
He also walked to the Yellowstone area and back to Kentuck when he was in his seventies.
(true story)

"Pitchers" is rather confusing in that context, innit?
I thought you were bringing pitchers of mimosas.
Can I be a science babe extra? I have the glasses & everything. Mind you, I bump into things a lot when I take them off...

John Derbyshire is appalling.
I realize it makes him feel tough to offend people and he probably likes it but so what. He's offensive.

For some reason.

Way out of YOUR league, fuckwad.
D. Boone kilt a bar and commemorated said event on a treetrunk in Kaintuck at some age rather greater than three. The song about D. Crockett alleges that he kilt him a bar when he was only three. Plenty o' them bars to go around.
King of the Wild Frontier...
Pauvre, pauvre Adam Ant.
In 1814 we took a little trip
You mean I was lied to by a TV theme song?!?
I guess so...

Oka, but for the movie, you have to dress like the band from "Satisfaction."
(It's better than "Star Wars.")
I realize it makes him feel tough to offend people and he probably likes it but so what. He's offensive.
Also, the fact that he no longer finds females attractive once they hit the age of majority should be a deal breaker.

good luck with that gig. Northhampton, a tough crowd.

Yes, though I take issue with TMBG's song "XTC vs. Adam Ant," since, IMHO, it's not even close to a contest.

He also walked to the Yellowstone area and back to Kentuck when he was in his seventies.
And one of his descendants is none other than Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-NY.
Bless her heart.

Why, thank you! A life with no fucking is a life with no living.

Well, pants are optional....

you are correct. I couldn't bench press that much lard in a hundred years.
Can I be a science babe extra? I have the glasses & everything. Mind you, I bump into things a lot when I take them off...
Um...the "bumping into things" can be rather nice, so I encourage the removing of glasses...
Yes, though I take issue with TMBG's song "XTC vs. Adam Ant," since, IMHO, it's not even close to a contest.
Well, one's a novelty act and one's a real band, for starters.
hey, we still have tornado warnings until like 3 am. at least the heavy rains have subsided a bit. the barn is leaking like a sieve.
SCENE FOUR HUNDRED AND ONE. THREADBOT rapidly travels to Texas and devours all those deficient in their appreciation of modernist literature. It is Not Pretty.
SCENE SIX HUNDRED. Uncle Smokes, Whiskeyina, and Central Scrutinizer form a Super Hero Task Force which is unfortunately too late to be written into this script. But they do get a complementary Cheese Basket.
SCENE SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIX. WILEY and GIZMO become irked, contact LION KITTY MAXX, devour THREADBOT and some irksome TROLLS, and the movie ends at 11PM, the MOST COHERENT SCI-FI MOVIE OF ALL TIME.
Fuck liberals. Fuck all of you and your bias and USA hatred.
Here, try this one:
"You bastards are...bastards!"
Got it from Walt Kelly. He got it from a little old lady, in the aftermath of some election her side lost.
Has a nice American zing to it.

To clarify: I meant better if you have to dress up like one of the bands. Though "Satisfaction" is a great bad film on the level of "Roadhouse" or "The Cutting Edge."
