Where you invited to Jenna Bush’s wedding?
What gift did you get her?
Did you ask her father for a favor today?

IIRC one of the "points" was the price of gas; you might look at the change in a barrel of oil between 1/21/00 and 11/06, for a start. It was $28 when WPE took office.

billy b,
Not a whole fucking lot. How's about you.
I LOVE this post. My stuff's been in a storage space for going on 7 years. Didn't know at the time, just how long I'd be storing stuff. The price has gone from $120 a month to $150. There have been two earthquakes centered within 20 miles of the place in the meantime. So once I went up there to visit my stuff and a lot of boxes were all in a jumble, etc.
And about that "kicking me when I was down" thing: there was once when my pre-arranged auto pay credit card had expired without my noticing. The storage people notified me, sure, more or less well after the fact, and you should've seen the late charges. It was all in the fine print of the contract. The folks who own and run these places are only too well aware that their clientele generally has a lot of sh*t going on in their lives. It's sort of like being in the quick consumer loan business.
My seven years of bad luck will be over more or less concurrently with the Bush.

Yeah, like I said, I didn't know how long it would be. I'm sure that everything in there is not quite worth that much, except for the imponderable value of personal stuff.
Anyway $10,000 won't get you near even a down payment our here in Californaiey. (Unless you're into defaulting on your loan sometime later.)
I did well during the Bush II years, but out of the country of course.

"Internet Service Providers Preparing to Gouge"
Do you remember the "good old days" of pay-by-the-hour fees for dial-up internet access? Your local cable ISP may certainly long for them...
Cable Broadband Users, Get Ready For Overage Fees
What seemed like a vague industry possibility just a few months ago now seems like an inevitable certainty. Multiple carriers in North America are now either employing or considering monthly caps where users pay per gigabyte should they "over eat." But the move begs a number of questions. Not least of which is whether opening the door to overage fees invites a broadband future where ISPs use the nebulous specter of "excessive use" as a new piggy bank -- and as a pre-emptive weapon against competing content.
Earlier this week I broke the news that Comcast is considering implementing a 250GB monthly cap, with a $15 penalty for each 10GB over that cap you travel. I've been reading through the various subsequent coverage (Associated Press, New York Times, CBC) , and came across this Business Week report. In it, Time Warner Cable spokesman Alex Dudley confirms they're still on track to begin testing their own overage system. If you recall, we also broke the news of that system, which could come with caps as low as 5GB per month.

Nate, it's quite possible you're the only one in the Obama camp including Sen. Obama himself that has any respect for Sen. Clinton, women or white people at all.
It's not about Sen. Clinton anymore, it's about keeping Sen. Obama out of the white house. It's not about democrat or republican parties anymore it's about saving our democracy from the ideology of hate and division. It's not about my one vote anymore but about millions of people who are going to vote in November to keep the radicals out of the white house.
We shall overcome.

Get it? "Unlimited" internet access is about to become limited again in some parts of the country. With the speed of internet connections and bandwitdh increasing due to the quick pace of technological advances, they can't possibly claim that they're doing this because of any kind of usage bottlenecks. And there's no other reasonable or acceptable explanation for implementing such limits or fees. The only conclusion *I* can come to is that this is pure and simple greed.
As the author points out, such caps, once in place, aren't necessarily going to remain at their initial levels. When they're changed in either direction, it would be at the whim of the companies themselves, for whatever reason they can devise.
I've never had unlimited broadband, it isn't even an option here.

Even if you aren't a fierce bad Copyright Pie-rat, the amount of data bandied about just keeps going up.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 just came out. That's several hundred MB.
What if you're a legitimate subscriber to Netflix's or Amazon's movie download service?
Just about every piece of software wants to run its own "updater" in the background, under the assumption that you can download updates as they are made available, and possibly automatically install them.
No, this policy is just fu3king retarded money gouging. People in heathen socialist European countries mock the slow speeds of the U.S. users with 20 Mb connections. And the South Koreans laugh at the Europeans for their slow speeds.
All hail the "free market!" It's good for everyone . . . if you're a shareholder. :
Why is it I can get an unlimited data plan for my cellphone for $15 extra a month, but the goddamn cable modem costs $55? That's with the oh-so-generous digital cable "discount," too.

You may think Obama can walk on water, but just remember the pond is full of Republican sharks anxious and ready to pull him under and shred him.

whatever tea leaves you are reading in the polls, the primary voters of the democratic party have spoken, and it is now numerically impossible for hillary to get more votes than barack even in the popular vote
barack has arrived at the status of 'presumptive' nominee of the democratic party
i love to read polls, and many of them do say that hillary is much stronger in the electoral college against mccain, but they also universally said that doctor dean would win the democratic nomination in 2004 and that hillary would lose in new hampshire this year
so can we stop agitating the democratic nomination now, pretty please with sugar on top?

The other candidate fit the profile for every failed democratic candidate for the same number of years, i.e., fairly left of center, with undefined or nebulous positions on nearly everything.
Actually, what people do not remember is that Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter ran on seriously progressive platforms - first. Jimmy Carter was even endorsed by Hunter Thompson as true radical. Mike Dukakis and Walter Mondale ran very moderate campaigns, as did Jimmy Carter term 2 when he had that weasel mofo pat caddel writing speeches for him and doing strategy.
The biggest danger with Obama is that he will follow their paths - and it would not at all be surprising unless he gets pushed from the start.
"Long as I get to choose who, and what they give up, I'm good with that."
Hmmm, this could be a great combination game/reality show for the new season.

If they aren't saying it, it's because they know it's not true and they'll get caught in a big lie.

You do know that the signed promise was to not campaign in Florida? It was not a signed promise not to admit delegates. You also probably know that of the two it is Obama that is technically in breach of the signed promise not to campaign in Florida.
While it must be nice for Obama supporters that he has a lead in the delegate count, he hasn't secured the nomination till he passes the threshold amount need to secure the nomination. Till that time he's just another candidate.

"Illinois caps interest rates at 400 percent on payday loans, which are taken out for no longer than 120 days. But on longer-term loans, the sky's the limit. And the state depends on consumers to alert them to questionable Internet lenders."
How did Obama vote..."present"?
oh no, EkCenTrik, that's brutal
Cynicus:
That was supposed to be a big "Mazel tov!!!"
Kitty, doing well. Hoping to see Maddy later.

I'm glad to hear that. I havent' spoken with you in a while...how is everyone?
Donna Brazile, who has long been in Obama's camp,thinks the Democratic party can get along just fine without blue collar whites and Hispanic voters. So you see, manners and consideration are completely unnecessary, and indeed a waste of Obama's valuable time for these groups.
After reading some board posting here, I seem to see agreement with this rather perverse point of view.
"EkCenTrik, I see you're working very hard to poison Cynicus' evening
Sallyh"
Well, like I said, he said it like it was a challenge.
I find contractors on my property to be trauma inducing.
Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
Had some carpentry and exterior painting done on the house a few weks ago. Drove me and the cats crazy.
Tiny Porcelain Mouse still here? If so, this is from way up thread, but this might help:

Kitty, we're getting there. I think Mlle is finally starting to improve.
Ex SIL is pissed because she really doesn't want to be married to him, and he's miffed at me because I alerted his mother to an incident of his misbehavior (my daughter is the more culpable party, but he was involved). He'll get over it.
Monsieur is doing fine, and Maddy is gorgeous, funny, intelligent, fun loving, and cheerful.

That's mighty fine regulating there.
Fuck, that is totally evil.

Ohio's going to try and regulate them, but they're whining up a storm:

Thaqnks, all.
you just don't know how it feels to be leaving the place i've been the last 4 years, where every other weekend and some other long stretches were 16, even 20 hour days - aqnd the 12 hour days as spacers between.
Now to be 4 10 hour days/week. Oh, i know it'll really be 4 12's, but that's still like cake.
Pay's a bit less, but hell - i did mention the savings in gas? And not having to change the oil in the truck every 6 weeks (for being another 3000 miles) has to help too.
Yes, i am excited. Sue me.

I'm not counting the super delegates as Obama's been trying to tell us super delegates should just follow the pledged delegates.
Without Michigan and Florida:
Obama has a lead in "popular vote"
15,479,558 (50.016%) to 14,804,576 (47.863%)
Obama has a lead in delegates
1599 to 1391
Not counting the 18 delegates not pledged to Obama or Clinton so far.
With Michigan and Florida
The popular vote lead would drop to
16,039599 (48.298%) to 15,989,935 (48.148%) Yes a lead of 0.15%!
His lead in delegates would be
1666 to 1569 (97 delegates)
Not counting the 146 delegates not pledged to Obama or Clinton.
Obama re-took the lead in real popular (as in all votes cast) vote this week. He might well lose it again with West Virginia and Kentucky since it is a mere 49,664 votes.
Obama will likely win but it is hardly the HUGE insurmountable lead described by Team Obama. Politics is often about perception not reality. This is why Obama had been so adamant about rules being more important than voters over Michigan and Florida no matter how capriciously and inequitably the rules were applied.
Those still hanging on to Clinton are not delusional at all.
Cynicus, seriously, I'm delighted for you.
Thinly veiled that is a loooong list. I'm not sure I want to print it.
The fact that all of these things were done in wartime do they qualify as treason?
TV, how's your afternoon going?
I should be doing laundry and changing linens, but I feel like screwing off right now
Yeah, it drives me nuts to have them tearing things up, but I really need to have this work done. And I'll be away during the day when a lot of it goes on. They did a nice job w the Eastern side yard.
Hi, Sallyh and Hecate!
I'm going to have contractors in my home soon. The kitchen will be redone this summer. I figure if the housing market is going to be down for a while and I won't likely be able to sell, I may as well have a kitchen I like. And will help sell the house eventually.
Hecate, that's good news.
Monsieur in the past has tried to save home improvement projects for when I'm out of town. For that I am eternally grateful.
The funny thing about those payday loansharks - they are highly praised in the Christian community as solid buisnessmen.
And when the Christ found some of them in the Temple, He chased them out with a whip.
Times change, nicht wahr?

I think so, but I'm a non-college educated working class white dirty fucking hippy Obama supporter, so WTFDIK.
Oh, BTW, if anyone here is from Philly, I could use some help. If you wouldn't mind popping over to my shitty blog that no one reads and leave some suggestions for my trip, I'd appreciate it.
Hecate,
We got two estimates for a new retaining wall...both waaaaay more than we can afford.
Maybe once this market settles, we'll get an equity loan and get everything we need done. Alas, we're anxious.
I may as well have a kitchen I like.
Absolutely, I put in new appliances last Fall and I really love them.
TOW, we're redoing our main bathroom soon. Mostly it needs a good paint job, but there are a few minor things to be done on it as well.
Im in ur sheetz, pissin all over Bugs.
Those still hanging on to Clinton are not delusional at all.

We get it. You like Hillary. You hate Obama.
You're extremely boring.
TV, how's your afternoon going?
's okay. Just got back from spending a few bucks on myself for the first time in a long time. Stopped by for a few minutes, but I really need to get on the stick and get ready for the evening out. How's yours?
"In mortgage market, ‘walkaway’ homeowners may be urban myth"
...Elsewhere, media reports and Internet postings are rife with stories about the trend and a supposed sea change in American attitudes toward debt. But there's a major problem with all this talk about the phenomenon of solvent homeowners "walking away": There doesn't appear to be any hard evidence that it's actually happening.

I am glad that daughter is doing better...and that Maddie is such a joy. My daughter left her BF of 6 years and moved to Boulder w/another fellow (known 4 months) now they have discovered that CO is expensive and are "camping" for the summer somewhere near Boulder. I think she is having her Thoreau summer and doesn't realize that winter fast approacheth.
Reality doesn't seem to impinge on her thinking too frequently.
She's sweet and I love her but she has a lot to learn.
No iChat for me w/ G/Son tonight. He is heading w/ the rents over to a Nationals game.
TV, finally done grading/composing finals. Hope to see Maddy later. Will attempt to convince Monsieur to take me for Mongolian barbecue.
sheets
phila ruined them
Phila's made a mess upstairs. Come on and join us.
Hecate, bummer!
I hope we see Maddy tonight--I'm not going to be seeing her tomorrow.
see y'all upstairs!
Oh yes, if only I had the money for the things that I could buy for only a pittance. It just screams Charles Keating all over again. One man's loss is another's gain - the ugly Clintons and ugly Bushie made it all possible.
What other human sufferings that will allow no humanity will we witness? Only profit devoid of humanity, WHY do we give ExxonMobil ANYTHING at all because they are like Ma Bell - time to divide - why don't we care what our nasty congress is doing these days? These companies seek only our ruin, do WE not see the warning of our ruin with every greedy breath the Clintons and Bushites take?
It's just a repeat of the mid 80's and our US congress DIDN'T care then, doesn't care now either. The nasty bitch Hillary AND Bill have been so FOR this shit.
*uck you Bill Clinton - all the way to hell #sshole, those 16 words were just a mistake - my ass, lair. They were NOT a mistake. I'm glad they lost this election. Herbert is right, they are graceless and everybit as much of a big liar as George Bush EVER was.
How do these storage unit auctions work anyways? I know they put the legal notices in the newspaper. Do you just show up, get a quick peek, and then decide on the spot how much, if anything, to bid? What if its just boxes and/or storage crates? How do you know what you're getting? How much do the contents of a typical unit usually go for?
An old saying asks the question, "if something isn’t broke, than why fix it?" Speaking of the short- term financial assistance that payday lenders offer, things surely aren’t broken. In fact, customers sing the praises of payday lenders largely because, when used properly, they’re one of the fastest and safest ways out of a sticky financial situation. Unfortunately, some people in high places don’t see it this way and are trying to fix something that isn’t broken. Several bipartisan efforts have outlawed the entire industry in certain states, even inspiring presidential hopeful, Barack Obama, to take aim at them as well. On November 4, don’t vote by party; vote for the peoples’ right to financial freedom.
