One mistake is a dock in pay. Two is a firing offense.
Editing is part of the Democrats' failed 9/10 mindset.

No wonder their writers are getting so sloppy. The Dickerson piece about Hillary's iPod choices was ridiculous.

Actually i gave up on slate almost 5 yrs ago when i realized they were all just a bunch of pussies. Even though it was before most of the blogs got on the scene i kept thinking to myself: wtf is up with these so-called liberal writers who never actually seem to be liberal? It wasa acutally kind of slick wayt back in 97 when they first went online. I mean they dont have to be mind numbing bots always spouting the company line but goddamn almost everytime you goto a rethug site they bend over backwards to justify any ole thing their idiot side does. All in all i realize now they arent liberals they are just cocktail wiener eating pussies looking for the next party. Ugh what a waste
I fucking love the Midnight Spank commercials.
"WATCH MIDNIGHT SPANK OR THE CALICO-COLORED GUINEA PIG WILL EAT YOUR OTHER KIDNEY."
Dickerson is a favorite guest of Al Franken. I'd like Franken to ask Dickerson next time how the hell he can justify his made-up bullshit about Gore struggling against Bradley in the 2000 primary.
Probably won't happen, though.

I never gave Slate any serious attention. It was created by Microsoft, afterall, as an attempt to infiltrate and corrupt journalism, just like MSNBC. Slate is a subversive example of Carol Darr's scary Haliblog scenario.
Eli--what the hell channel are you watching?!
Monsieur would like to know.
Nim: Been reading Greenwald's book today. It's a nice way to get an ulcer on an otherwise pleasant weekend.
I read it all in one sitting on... Tuesday, I think? Nothing new that I hadn't read at his blog, but it was nice to have it all in one portable package. It's now in my landlord's hands. When I get it back from him, I'm gonna take some quotes, do up some flyers, and do a little guerilla marketing here, locally. Hey, I might ought to set up an Amazon referral, eh?

So, um, how many mistakes do writers get before you consider giving them a pink slip?

Here's something that's pretty sickening. It may be illegal to lie when you advertise something, but it's perfectly legal to lie during a newscast. Here's a story from a few years back...
http://www.rense.com/general35/MEDIA.HTM
Appellate Court Rules Media Can Legally Lie.
By Mike Gaddy
On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press organization. The court reversed the $425,000 jury verdict in favor of journalist Jane Akre who charged she was pressured by Fox Television management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a television broadcast.
On August 18, 2000, a six-person jury was unanimous in its conclusion that Akre was indeed fired for threatening
to report the station's pressure to broadcast what jurors decided was "a false, distorted, or slanted" story about the widespread use of growth hormone in dairy cows. The court did not dispute the heart of Akre's claim, that Fox pressured her to broadcast a false story to protect the broadcaster from having to defend the truth in court, as well as suffer the ire of irate advertisers. Fox argued from the first, and failed on three separate occasions, in front of three different judges, to have the case tossed out on the grounds there is no hard, fast, and written rule against deliberate distortion of the news. The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdock, argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves. In its six-page written decision, the Court of Appeals held that the Federal Communications Commission position
against news distortion is only a "policy," not a promulgated law,
rule, or regulation.
Fox aired a report after the ruling saying it was "totally vindicated" by the verdict.

Post salacious "scoops" that also happen to be easily fact checked and shown to be false.

I'm not saying it would be easy, but I think it's doable. Besides it being the kind of thing Karl Rove does all the time, there is a precedent of sorts on our side. During the 2004 campaign, rumors of a phony Kerry affair were passed along to Drudge, who duly reported them. Drudge was later forced to apologize and humilated in the process...

They could not get me to where I paid them to take me until the middle of next week and refused to book me on another carrier that could get it done. The end result is that my vacation is ruined and I've lost at least $2,500 maybe more.
Plus their "customer service" people told me different, contradictory stories each time I called, told me flat out blatant lies, and basically couldn't give a shit whether I ever got what I paid for.
I was told more than once that if I ever want to see my luggage again that I should return to Chicago O'Hare airport (400 miles away) and talk to a BA representative in person.

The Old Man From Scene 24, it's probably too late for your vacation, but do this.
Find out who the top officers are for BA, and get directly in contact with them. Don't talk or write to their assistants, or secretaries, you need to speak with the heads of the company. See what kind of large adjustment you can get from them. At this point, a simple refund should not suffice to right this wrong.
interesting caveat.

It was a fuckiong miserable experience quite apart from missing out on my dream vacation of a life time.
American Airlines were the precipitaing cause (a flight I booked through BA as one of their "partners"). It was their flight being late that set this whole thing off.
I slept on a bench at O'Hare Thursday night (& BTW if anyone is stranded there overnight,take the tram thingy to the International Terminal where there will likely be lots of unused chairs to sleep on). I finally got on a plane back home at 1 pm.... which promptly turned around and headed back to Chicago after 15-20 minutes in the air (it was a 1 hour flight).
I am not a happy camper.
This sketch is kinda cracking me up, actually... Although it should really be Norm McDonald in the Seth Myers role.
Register a dispute on the charges to your credit card, of course. Then, small claims.

Well, I'm sure as hell never flying British Airways, and will attempt to prevail upon the shadowy and mysterious Codename V, who actually does visit friends over there.
Find out who the top officers are for BA, and get directly in contact with them.
yes, I'll try to do that. A friend of my Dad's used to do so much international business travel (first class) he literally got wined and dined by BA big wigs, I'll get in touch with him and find out who to contact.

It's never failed me whenever I've had a dispute with a merchant, and was getting nowhere in resolving it. Most banks will reverse the charge immediately, over the phone with you... but you'll want to follow-up with a detailed letter describing the events as they transpired. Either BA will not contest, and your money is back in your wallet, or they will, and you'll have to threaten small claims. Of course, you may have exceeded real damages of your state's small claims limits... but the credit card company trick is often successful if all you want is your money back.

The Old Man From Scene 24,
I would also contact your local TV news outlets. The stations in my neck of the woods love to do disgruntled consumer stories, where their reporters can show themselves as coming to the rescue of their viewers.

Were we nearer I'd take you salmon fishing Sallyh.
I have fond memories of taking a friend out on the ocean one day. She brought, for appetizers, we sliced chilled cucumber, added some cream cheese, cured salmon roe dill and fresh lemon. Even the skipper came out on deck for some. We had lots of fun and caught fish too.
Wanda was her name. She passes unexpectedly from a stroke at 38. So sad, but what a wonderful woman she was.
Today I helped sing a wedding for one of my choir's sopranos, who sings for another parish besides our own, so we sang there. It's one of those old lace-curtain-Irish parishes with the monster church with the block-long aisle -- you sing in the loft and the sound goes out and never does come back. Way different acoustic than we're used to. Great fun.
Anyway, the bride & groom sent over lunch for the choir as we rehearsed this morning -- fancy sandwiches, pop, chips, cookies -- and a bottle of very nice Spanish wine for each one of us. The spouse of the house and I drank ours on the patio this evening and we toasted the bride and groom with enthusiasm. It was delicious.
there was a song on the radio called "Skinny Legs, And All" ..

Nevada "mushroom cloud" blast delayed indefinitely
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/
20060...s_usa_nevada_dc
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon's plan for a massive detonation of conventional high explosives in Nevada to test the effectiveness of weapons against deeply buried targets has been postponed indefinitely, officials said on Thursday.
The National Nuclear Security Administration, part of the Energy Department, said it was withdrawing its finding that the planned detonation of 700 tonnes of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil in the Nevada desert would cause "no significant" environmental impact, the agency said.
The test, dubbed "Divine Strike," was sponsored by the Pentagon's Defense Threat Reduction Agency and had been slated to be held in June at the Energy Department's Nevada Test Site in Nye County, about 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
James Tegnelia, director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, told reporters in Washington in March the test would be "the first time in Nevada that you'll see a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas since we stopped testing nuclear weapons." The last above-ground nuclear test at the site was in 1962.

It could be that the bat isn't balanced right (I assume he's taken practice swings and is comfortable with it?), or maybe it just doesn't have much pop. But assuming the bat is fine, he might have just changed his approach.
If he has blisters, that probably ain't helping either...

submit your story to the travel sections of the large dailies (Chicago Trib, LAT, NYT). Those sections have influence, and LAT at least does publish travel horror stories.
Yeah that seems to the best bet. They obviously don't care about one pissed off customer, but putting the story out where it might lose them dozens of potential customers might get their attention.

Although I have small hands for a person my size, my grip couldn't naturally narrow around a bat. Batting gloves and tape around the handle solved that problem.

You've got a date with Velma?
a mexican girl named Velma, six foot tall, beat me up in the 5th grade.

Although I have small hands for a person my size, my grip couldn't naturally narrow around a bat. Batting gloves and tape around the handle solved that problem.
One of our better hitters recommended something I had also seen somewhere else, which was to actually grip the bat in the crease between the palm and the fingers. I might have been doing that when I had the two-home-run game last week...
These kids just couldn't get enough baseball today. Played two games in freezing cold then went out in the commons area here w/tennis balls to obsess further. But it could be worse, so play on dudes.
In Tucson, COX has been pretty good for me. What problems have you encountered?
In the last few months, I get limited or no connectivty half the time, and when I am connected it's incredibly sluggish. I've ran online tests that say I'm 87% slower than I should be. The Cox tech told me my modem was obsolete so I bought a new one, that didn't change anything.
I told them they have one week to fix this before I take my business elsewhere, and now they call me daily to assure me it will be fixed "any day now."
This is my first problem I've had with them in the last 4 years.
me, too, back again. Talk of baseball...makes me realize summer is just officially a month away. I love local parks, kids playing, adults with our very amateur teams. Soft nights, yum.
Night, good peeps. As our friend, Stevo would say, I love you all more than food. High compliment, in my book.

Feh. It's been hot as shit here this past week. Feels like August.
The Cox tech told me my modem was obsolete so I bought a new one, that didn't change anything.
Isn't Cox a cable company? If so why do you have to buy the modem? My cable modem is rented from the cable company.
I'm lucky in that we do have actual competition for home cable/internet/phone service here, and non essential consumer goods & services is one area where the so-called "free market" does actually work if there is more than one vendor.
hey erin!

4lg, this is the Pacific NW. We can be - liyerally - 90 degrees one week, 60 the next (which is how it has been these last 7 days).
It ain't summer til it settles down, and we will have light well past 9PM in the next month and a half.

It's cheaper to buy one. I figured that given what COX wante per month, I could find one that would pay for itself in less than a year.

The farther you are from the cable company (hub) the slower the signal Also, if every kid in the neighborhood is watching Sponge Bob at eight o'clock that slows your signal too.

This is insane footage.
On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive him at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur. No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit. The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.

' Of course, plenty of disappointed and angry Democrats would like to know why Mr. Kerry did not defend himself so strenuously before the election. He had posted some military documents on his campaign's Web site and had allowed reporters to view his medical records but resisted open access to them as unnecessarily intrusive.
Mr. Kerry and his defenders say that they did not have the extensive archival material, and that it was too complicated to gather in the rapid pace of a campaign. He was caught off guard, he says; he had been prepared to defend his antiwar activism, but he did not believe that anyone would challenge the facts behind his military awards. "We should have put more money behind it," Mr. Kerry says now. "I take responsibility for it; it was my mistake. They spent something like $30 million, and we didn't. That's just a terrible imbalance when somebody's lying about you." '

By the way, I've been posting from my California trip. Fairly decent pictures in a couple places, if anybody's interested...
gtg, getting numerous typos...
as for the baseball bat comments, many of them come with grips, even aluminum models...
nephew prefers one we have so fitted for his practice...
...practice bunting, push bunts, looking the ball all the way to the bat, trains the eyes for hitting.
Stay on the balls of your feet, watch where the ball is released it will tell you where it will end up. Being on the balls of your feet lets you transfer weight easier, so you can drive your weight on the follow through of the swing with leverage. Like a Tiger Woods driver, use you back hip to push through, staying balanced and in command of body weight. Back knee is low for leverage.
Most young hitters stay on their heels, get too upright, both things rob them of power. On the balls of your feet you have command of the weight and you maintain leverage. It's all force transfer. Hit through it and follow through, lots of batters stop when they draw contact, The big hit is through the ball on the other side of the contact point.
Mr. M -
I wouldn't put the back knee low because that will lower your back shoulder.
start out lower, coming out of the stance, starting up higher makes the strike zone bigger
of all examples- Barry Bonds- lowers the back knee to stay under it
think of a spring, unless it's coiled at some point you're not going to get the use of that power
Mr. M -
You may be correct but my Batting Bible was the series of articles Ted Williams wrote for Sports Illustrated in the '60s and as I recall, he recommended a straight up stance.
When people get straight up they tend to swing from their heels.
If you are that comparatively tall, then yeah you are big enough to locate the release of the pitch before it leaves the pitcher's hand and can get bat head around quick enough to stay upright.
Most aren't and starting in coiled position lets you drive through it, and makes a pitcher bear down to a smaller initial target.
I'm not watching any of the bobbleheads later this morning. What's the point? Need to stop by Wal-Mart and pick up a DVD of something I haven't seen. Maybe Jarhead. My reviews will be ready this evening.

Also Ted Williams had had a long frame, he could stay upright and still reach the outsaide corner, his swing was much bigger than the plate's strike zone.
But he made you throw strikes, was selective with what he would hit so the result was better opportunities.
Also he got about five or six at bats a game.
These kids get minimum appearances on average, unless they're coaches sons. By reducing the area a pitcher has to get a stike called you increase the chances you'll get a hittable pitch.
I'm glad that I just happened upon your blog. Keep up the good work! Pink music I'm Not Dead mp3 .Thanks.
Looking for internet marketing it will help those peoples.
