That's the Sylvia Plath Gitmo model, correct?
Does the official troll taxonomy recognize the existence of the Magnetic Poetry Troll?
Atrios has gone over to the other side.
Did you get to schmooze with Arianna H. at a dimly lit bar over Martinis?
I'm trying to remember if Atrios said he hoped there was a sequel to EschaCon...
Atrios has gone over to the otter side?
The fact that Amb. Wilson virtually pledged his wife's attendance next year should virtually guarantee a repeat.

It hardly seems fair that I have to work this weekend instead of attending a conference where one of the workshops is: Hex and the City: Texts for Occult Performance in Late Capitalism.
Atrios has gone over to the otter side?
Has otter been around lately? Did he ever land a job in Geneva or whatever?
I'm trying to remember if Atrios said he hoped there was a sequel to EschaCon...
I distinctly heard him say, "fuck this shit, I hope they never have one of these in my hometown again so I have an excuse to blow it off." I swear.
Isn't the SQL in Chicago around the end of the summer?
He just liked it 'cause it was in Vegas and there were slots and roulette and stuff. He still loves -us- best.
Right?

I just read the first chapter of (m)Ann Coulters newest piece of dung, via a link at Rude Pundit.
Wow. It's a rare experience to read such a distatsteful, disjointed and diorganized diatribe against a basically mythical group of people.
It really reminded me of Nazi sponsered anti-semitic writings from the 30's I read in college, it's that awful.
Anyhow. I was listening to Randi Rhodes and she made an off hand comment about how her book sales are pushed by bulk purchases that are donated to colleges (or something). Any truth to that statement?

Aw, let the troll practice for creative writing class. He's gotta swing a C average in the summer term at community college or his mom is gonna make him move out of the basement.

Tolerating bigots isn't sane or liberal. It's suicidal.
CSpan killed the broadcast, it was the perfect week for it- outside of World CUp(not a highly rated American viewership) there really wasn't anything else going on to compete for viewers, so CSpan cans the event.
Must have been reaching too many people for their taste...

it was a relatively obscure 50s pulp reference. nobody gets my jokes anymore.
Did he ever land a job in Geneva or whatever?
Geneva? I thought he was moving to Spain and eating all the jambon before it could be shipped to the U.S.
I'm sure that Atrios loves us best. We're much more fun than kossacks and we have much better fashion sense.
Only a dim would play with magnets.
I've been telling you, Anne Coulter is a brilliant performance artist gone 'off reservation' due to excessive drug use. She's only in it for the money. A lumpy gravy on permanent acid trip.

Atrios is going to come back all Kossified -- next thing you know we'll all have identity numbers, like we were at the penitentiary.
Hopefully the sequel will be throwin' the Pukes out in November, followed by act III in February, The Impeachment.

Comment? Well, perhaps not. More of a mirror, really.
Do not diss refrigerator magnet poetry. That's hot stuff.
So the other week some of the women in my circle told me what they really love about me: that I keep the poetry books in the kitchen. Who knew? It was mainly because I ran out of room on the Stickely bookshelves the January that I was organizing all my books.

Yeah, it was about the new coversheets for your PDBs...
What am I doing the weekend?
Sitting around with all the windows open to get the stink of a dead mouse out my tiny apartment.
There'd been a bad smell in the kitchen area for a few days, and Friday night, I started to move appliances.
OF BLOODY COURSE, it wasn't under the electric stove. That's the EASY ONE to move!
I wrestle the damn fridge out of it's alcove. JEEBUS! How the HELL can something that small smell SO FRIGGING HORRIBLE? The fungi growing on it didn't help the esthetics of the situation any.
After mucho retching and other events (details redacted for YOUR CONVENIENCE) I got the thing bagged and out of the apartment.
I threw some bleach on the floor and shoved the fridge back in place.
The smell is still there, but MUCH reduced.
As for the corpse of the mouse, I mailed it to Ann Coulter.
(I made up that last part.)

Funny story about Las Vegas, NM.
I, my two daughters, and my Japanese daughter were moving from the Los Angeles area to near D.C. We had been driving for a couple of days when I pointed to the sign that said "Las Vegas," knowing that it was Las Vegas, NM.
I turned around and said, "Oh my God, we've been going the wrong way all day. We're almost in Las Vegas." You should have seen the horrified looks on their faces.
Well, it was funny to me.

Now if Atrios starts flip-flopping in his posts, and gets him a side-kick to insist he isn't a flip-flopper, *that's* when he's gone over to the other side.

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
What, were you the control subject in a drug experiment?
NTodd, The Spoiler
No, no. I was the other one.
Chris, the smell will fade fairly soon if the corpse is gone. I once moved into a rental house and after a few days I smelled something pretty awful that seemed to be coming from the wall itself. Tracked it down to a singed squirrel carcass in the ventilator shaft of the 1950s style fireplace (behind the ornamental grill). Must have been a parting present from the prior tenant. The smell disappeared after I fished it out.

My friend Darren was driven right past DisneyWorld about 1975 and his mother said "Wave hi to Mickey!" They lived in Florida for several years and never went even one time.

Didn't Betty Dodson have a book, Blogrolling For One?
from my post today:
The recent news about the massive intellectual con job to impose one-Republican-man-rule on us uses the language of rights to describe the sleazy framework of power grabs which the likes of Samuel Alito have spent their careers erecting. But it's an effort that starts with a lie. Being president is a job, it's a responsiblity. It doesn't give George W. Bush the right to replace the enumerated responsibilities of the legislature with pieces of paper that members of the Federalist Society have handed him to sign. Anyone who says they believe that the legacy MBA, who never managed anything except into the ground, understands these signing statements is a liar. That goes for anyone who uses that pretense as an unstated premise in a discussion.
This effort, hatched in well appointed sitting rooms in law schools and other charming venues, is one of the dirtiest plots against democracy in our history. The plotters are all genteel and have clean fingernails so they sell well on TV. They are even well coached for mini-dramas with the help of senators of their own party to sway public opinion. They've got the stage craft down and with our winner-take-all, set term system temporary deception is good enough for their purposes. So we can't waste any more time, we have to call the plot what it really is right now. It is a power grab to to destroy the rights and freedoms of us all for the benefit of a privileged elite. We have to say it over and over again with enough variation to hold the attention of a distracted public.
NTodd--I'm making chicken fajitas for dinner. Want some?
Ordinarily, yes, but I'm full of pizza right now. And TastyKake Butterscotch Krimpets. And red wine.

Once I get the floor cleaned, I'll put some activated charcoal under the fridge. That should pretty much take care of the lingering smell stuck to the underside.

Buy gold and guns, people.
I've been cleaning and sighting in an old Sharps buffalo rifle. When I first unpacked and cleaned this recently I thought the barrel was totally corroded, turns out the last person to pack it up thoroughly, oiled the gun and the crud inside the barrel, was just hardened up oil and dirt. I finally got all of that cleaned out, and the inside the barrel is shiny with a clean spiral groove on the inside. Now the problem is to get it sighted in. I am accurate at short ranges with this, but I understand with either a sandbag or tripod you should be able to hit a target with this at much more than 5 or 6 hundred yards, which is as good as I am with it now.
You people take all the fun out of parenting.

hey remember how we were making fun of the emusic "get 25 free songs" things earlier this week? i just found out how to get 50! I just bought Ministry's latest album "Rio Grande Blood" and it comes with free collectors card with a code for 50 free songs. pretty schweet. it seems eMusic is sponsoring Ministry and the Revolting Cocks on tour; it's called the Masturbatour, and it's going to rock Uranus.

I was not happy when O'Donnell said that to Keith yesterday. I wanted Keith to spit it back at him and ask him if that was supposed to somehow excuse her or isn't maybe even worse that she's simply an attention whore being enabled by the whoremongering networks?

""For all the buzz about how bloggers are transforming politics, and they most assuredly are, the movement so far has measured its successes in men like Jeff Seeman and Paul Hackett, Ohio congressional candidates who used the Web to compete well in 2004 and 2005 - and then lost.
"I'm heartened by that record," Lieberman said Friday, smiling."
Okay, the smug bastard really really really has to go.
Ms. Coulter has jumped the media shark. She is now officially sooo 2006. Her day in the sun is over.
Hecate, Grammar Fag
I think it was Letterman who said the other night that now that Zarkawi, the world's No. 1 lunatic, was dead it allowed Ann Coulter to move up to that position.
No one with any serious journalistic credentials takes that blathering attention-getter Coulter seriously.
The cable stations have her on just like they would have an opera singing chimpanzee on their shows. People look at her and laugh. She amuses little minds.

See, people-- yes, even here-- get all high-toned and toffee-nosed and highfalutin' when it comes to the subject of haute cuisine, but to me 'n NT, this menu is as haute cuisine as it gets.
These items, and a few others, seem engineered by a mysterious Providence to mesh together divinely when consumed by a diner who is haute as a cerf-volant.
just wondering . . . have any of you noticed the increased vitriol against anything relating to questions surrounding 9/11 over the past week or two, e.g., Coulter calling the 9/11 widows "witches"?
Any suggestions as to what's up?

oh my god, i just found out that, in addition to the normal cast of characters one expeccts to find featured on a Revolting Cocks album (such as Jello Biafra and Gibby Haynes), Cheap Trick is on it, as is Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. 
I think it was Letterman who said the other night that now that Zarkawi, the world's No. 1 lunatic, was dead it allowed Ann Coulter to move up to that position.
I was thinking it would be great if Coulter went on Letterman, smashing against that immovable core of midwestern decency with her sails all full of crazy.
You guys can't recognize a genuine speed freak when you see her, can you. Totally gone.
She was supposed to be on the nations number 1 ranked morning sports talk radio show yesterday where they think she is the queen of sheeba and she was too strung out to show up. The little nazi jock wannabees were heartbroken.
It's not an excuse, but it's an explanation.

With a slug of this BBQ sauce I been gettin' at the Rib Stand at the Reading Terminal Market over top of it, it ought to go down real nice.

Re: "She's really a nice person."
Colbert's commencement speech at Knox College sheds some light on the subject, though what it reveals is not all that pleasant to consider.
Colbert began his address noting the [potential ambiguities embedded in the college having invited someone named Steven Colbert, but who is much better known, for being a character named "Steven Colbert."
and this is where the unpleasantness begins, because it then becomes possible that there is, in fact, someone named Ann Coulter who is only known for the character named "Ann Coulter" whom she plays.
We may now discuss the limits of the characters--and how the characters test the limits of personality, and when the boundaries of one expnd to envelope the other--and how true to them each actor--or any actor--is...
the (un)willing suspension of disbelief sets in somewhere in these performances...
and i loathe the character, and have as serious doubts about the difference between the actror and the character that is "Ann COulter", at least as much as anyone i know...

hmmm.... it seems to me that you accidentally, or arthur got involved, but in any case, it seems that a queen size duvet snuck itself into the mix and you now have it sideways.
or not. perhaps the kingsize duvet cover shrank in the drier and putting the kingsize comforter in the shrunken kingsize duvet has decreased the size of the combined things you are trying to put on the, presumably, kingsize bed. because i have noticed that duvet covers are bigger when there's nothing in them.....

i used to like criminal intent, because vincent dinofrio is the shit, but i haven't seen it in ages, so i don't know if its any good anymore.

i heard that they locked McNair out. who do you treat the best QB the franchise has had like that? Volek should be good, and it's a shame that VY doesn't get to learn from his mentor, but Norm Chow should do him right, so long as they don't try to turn him into something he's not, which is an orthodox QB.

I'm ready. This earthquake movie looks like it was pretty godawful, even for Sci-Fi.
mcnair is kind of old though. i don't think he is much younger than favre. baltimore still hasn't really solved their qb problem.
Yeah, well maybe BOTH Trinidad AND Tobago against poor lonely Sweden was unfair, but I don't make the rules of association football (or understand them)

Hecate --
Actually, T&T held the game scoreless, their goalie blocking several certain goals -- a game tied nothing to nothing may not sound exciting, but soccer is all defense -- this is an upset
Ivory Coast scoring against Argentina is also impressive (even though they lost, but they were down 2-0 & made an impressive attempt at a comeback)
England beat Paraguay 1-0 but it was an own goal -- if you are going to bounce the ball off your head, make sure it goes the right direction (I'm sure that is good advice in all walks of life)
Of course I know nothing about sports, but ai live with a novice who got his MA at the University of Durham in County Durham (NOT NC)!
Um, did I just see a giant fighting alien robot? WTF is happening here?
Oops -- sorry. Looked like JoeBob Backhoe operator had come between me and half the net for a minute. But then I remembered my Linksys bug. Rebooted, an' now I see you, again!
McNair: He's only 33 or 34, I think. Still, that's near the end of a useful life for most QBs. The impression with the locals is that no one outide of the area really thought he was that good, ever... even when he was co-MVP, folx here said he got no respect.
His running game will be missed, but Chow didn't like him doing it, it would seem, and given that his injuries were becoming more debilitating these last few seasons, that may have been the right call. He was never that fast, but he's big, moves well, and is hard to take down.
I'll be surprised if he plays half the season with the Dirty Birds before he gets benched with a bad injury.

It takes literally weeks of prepping to drop a building of any appreciable size. The prepping involves a large number of charges, free access to the points, and usually partial cutting of structural members.

JR w kerosene and a match--There were reports from people that worked at WTC that bomb sniffing dogs were removed from the towers during the weekend two weeks prior. (they were made mandatory following the 1993 bombing.)
From the Complete 9/11 Timeline:
Jimmy Walter, a millionaire from California, spends more than $5 million promoting the theory that there was a US government conspiracy behind the 9/11 attacks. Walter, the heir to an $11 million fortune, runs full-page adverts in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the New Yorker, and Newsweek. He also runs television adverts: One of these questions why Building 7 of the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11 despite not being hit by any plane, another suggests that Flight 77 never flew into the Pentagon. He offers a prize of $1 million to anyone who can prove that the WTC buildings collapsed in the way the US government says, without the use of explosives. Walter tells the New York Times, “It just isn’t possible that 19 screw-ups with box cutters pulled this whole thing off.”

Ann Coulter walks into a bar and says, "Bartender! I swallowed my boyfriend's dick!" The bartender says, "Shouldn't you be in a doctor's office, then? That's how the joke goes, you know." Ann says, "I tried, but my doctor's a homophobe."
Ann shouldn't have dodged that cream pie. It's the closest she'll ever come to conception.

THE commander of the US Joint Task Force Guantanamo, Rear Admiral Harry Harris has described the overnight suicide of three inmates "as an act of war".
so.
American souls are deadened by not acknowledging how insulting advertising normally is. Americans are the weakest, most submissive people in the world because of advertising: it is the most natural thing to be insulted to your face a hundred times before reaching the office.

Olaf glad and big: that whole thing was weird anyway. successful black quarterbacks are no longer an anomoly at all. mcnair has never done endorsements and stuff either. he just plays football.
Yeah, he's not a limelight-seekin' kind of guy. I've met him, and he just seems unsure of himself, speaking in public (he and some of the other players came to a United Way function at the former employers', an' I got to help set up the IT stuff beforehand... like usual). He strikes me as shy for a multimillionaire NFL guy.

Oh Lordy, next Saturday's "Bats" movie really does look like mocking-bait

I spoke to TonsilBoy's mother yesterday, and now that the swelling has gone down, he's in a bit more pain. Apparently, that's what happens. But it should get better from here on out.
Jeff Goldblum would have figured this all out already.
Wow. Judd Nelson is really *living* this part.

This proves they had something to hide! Despondent civilians never kill themselves!
Okay, so, I can only assume that the block hole is also a wormhole, and it keeps pulling random weird shit in from other dimensions or something.
Just heard some bullsnap coming from my neighbor's TV (across the hall with all doors and windows open). The talking head (Nancy Grace? Who knows) referred to the accuser in as "the allegged accuser."
My question, to the lawyer-types who frequent this board - is this the common way in which accusers are labeled in the American justice system before the case goes to trial or is this just an extreme example.
Because it seems to me that if someone accuses someone of a crime publicly, that person is now a full-blown accuser. What would make them an alleged accuser?
Why is Judd Nelson running to and fro?
Are his nostrils flaring?

"They are smart. They are creative, they are committed. They have no regard for life, neither ours nor their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us," Rear Adm. Harris said.
You betcha. That's how it works, absolutely. You motherfucker (Harris), you.
Imagine if Judd Nelson mated with Nancy Grace?
Monster Nostril Baby!
jp, from what i have heard mcnair is really just a country boy. likes to spend the off season hanging on his porch. maybe go fishing now and then.
Judd must have made this movie while appearing off Broadway in "Eraserhead: The Musical"
Of course, anything that came *out* of a black hole should immediately get sucked right back in...

That was my impression -- granted, I didn't have any in-depth interaction with the man, but just the small talk about the computers/projectors I was setting up, and the fact that I know a lot of good ol' country boys led me to that conclusion.

I'm a fan of McNair's ability but his off field items(drinking, wifey getting him pills as a nurse) could have probably weighed in on his getting ednorsement deals. He's a pretty good guy on the whole but with stars everything is made into items of scrutiny.
Expect the Titans to do well with Vince and the Ravens with McNair/Mason, but if things are bad in Tennessee look for leaks to limit the preceived damage of McNair's loss.
Bud Adams is often that way. The Titans unloaded cap each of thew past three seasons, getting worse as they did. They're do a resurgence and Young will thrive in Chow's system. Imagine what Leinert and Palmer did, with a guy who can take it the distance with his feet. Norm Chow's offense should have a very high cieling with Vince's ability.
It's almost as deviously clever as when they managed to threaten us with WMD without having any!!
Americans are not all weak and submissive, that's a dim projecting itself onto others.

Nothing is "proof" to a fanatic.
Here's something to chew on: The fact that they dropped is indicative of nothing. From an engineering PoV it would be almost impossible for them *not* to fall almost straight down. Even the impact of an aircraft does not generate enough lateral load to move the center of gravity 100 ft to the side, which is how far you'd have to move it to get it off it's base. Do you understnad inertia? 500,000 tons has a metric assload of inertia.

Not far from the truth! But in the last couple of years, that's not really been the case. One of the last two seasons, Volek started half the games. And he got hurt once or twice, but I don't think he was ever hurt so bad that he didn't start the following week. I could be wrong, though... I haven't been following them as closely through the "re-building."

Huh. Interesting post up by Jane Hamsher now about Boxer, called "Clueless".
Well it wasn’t the dumbest thing anyone said so far at the conference, but it was damn close.
Barbara Boxer came upstairs after her speech at YK yesterday and Tom Curry from MSNBC asked her about her position on Joe Lieberman. Boxer enthusiastically expressed her support of her esteemed colleague with whom she had worked many times over the years, and said all of the opposition to Joe was based on his support of the war. She said other groups, like women, were backing Joe because he was so good on their issues. I like many things about Barbara Boxer so I’m going to assume here that she’s an idiot and not a liar....

A number of peculiar superweapon projects have been pursued during WWII and the cold war; during the second world war the technology was developed to instigate tsunami, although this was never refined further or used because the bombing had already proven so much more effective by that point. A "death ray" has been pursued for some time by several powers, to include one effort that can be modelled with cigarette smoke and an oatmeal tube, which in far larger scale would've been meant to screw with aircraft.
Years ago the government-hating conspiracy theory basement mimeographed rag The Marine Corps Times had, on its cover, a HMMWV outfitted with a disc that would beam nonlethal anti-riot rays, a project known about since the disturbances of '68 but only recently finished.

JR--I appreciate your skepticism.
But the evidence is out there. Feel free to do the calculations and experiments if you are so inclined.
I am of the opinion (and I think that it is fairly well informed) that the story behind 9/11--in which only an airhead would believe the government's version at this scandalously late date--is the key behind the sickness that underlies this administration noxious depravity and what they have in store for us in the near future.
Just because Big Media doesn't buy it doesn't mean that there isn't a degree of truth in it.
But, sincerely, thanks for your feedback. I'll ponder your offerings.

Here's the last paragraph at FDL:
That Boxer is out of touch was backed up moments later in the hall when she turned on Curry, miffed at having been asked the question in the first place. "Why are you so focused on Lieberman?" she snapped. "Because everyone here is," he answered. This seemed to shock Boxer. Where exactly did her aides tell her she was speaking?
I guess we shouldn’t count on her to be the first incumbent to come out and endorse Ned Lamont .
I am of the opinion (and I think that it is fairly well informed) that the story behind 9/11--in which only an airhead would believe the government's version at this scandalously late date-
I don't believe the government's story at all. Unfortunately, that leaves me with about a million equally incoherent narratives to sort through.

Boxer didn't know? Markos said flatly that Lieberman is going down to huge applause in his speech opening the event. And if I'm not mistaken, wasn't Boxer on shortly after that?

She should have simply said Joe can defend himself to his constituents. Allowing the media to parse Dems V.Dems is the perfect dostraction from AWOL and Cheney.
Lamont wants to win, he puts Cheney and Lieberman being buddy buddy in the 2000 debates up and then Joe's "I agree with him on about every subject" line and then Cheney's 18% poll numbers up.
Hang that albatross around his neck. Force Lieberman to disown Cheney, because his money and influence is what co-opted holy Joe. Military Industrial Complex clones is all the two of them are...

The gift of the vile
Phila--I think that nine-eleven offers those of us interested in finding out what the hell the powers that be are up to and have in store for the rest of us down the road a way to glimpse into the black hole of modern history.
With all due respect, the cover-up of 9/11 is a gift.
David Ray Griffin, the author of The New Pearl Harbor, pointed out that the biggest problem facing us in regards to figuring out what happened on nine-eleven is the sheer quantity of the evidence that needs to be sifted through.
From what I'm looking at, these official reports (by the Senate Select Committee, Silberman-Robb, 9/11 Commission, FEMA & NIST) point the way to the essential cruces in what they are most worried about having exposed tot he light of day and common sense. In other words, due to the amaturishness of these attempted cover-ups, they are unwittingly providing us with clues as to which lines of evidence would be most productive to follow.
The blogs could continue to deconstruct the whitewashes and fabrications.

tofu
I have a recipe for tofu which makes it quite edible. You need real soy sauce, not the artificial one, and some sesame oil and balsamic vinegar and garlic. Then you fix a marinade in the proportions of one tablespoonful of the vinegar and the soy sauce to one teaspoonful of the sesame oil.

This is the principle behind marinade. You throw it out when you're done with it, if it's unusable elsewhere. So in the case you mention, you'd just be throwing out tofu. No harm done.

-Get off your high horse, look at what these persons have to deal with, and learn to meet them midway so we get something accomplished. A person coming to your turf to talk is a good sign.
-Here’s a hint: when a republican friendly reporter tries to hedge a friendly Democrat don’t aid his effort.
-Thanks for going after someone who is doing their best to work with us under the circumstances they find selves in. Karl Rove’s going to give that reporter some big wet sloppy payola before it’s said and done.
-If Ned Lamont was running as an establishment candidate he’d need endorsement. He isn’t. thanks for helping try to mix narratives anyways. Ned can run his campaign on the issues and Lieberman’s stand and let consituents decide the matter on its own merits.
-Everything this week has accomplished you want to undo in one fell move? A woman goes after a woman politican. Kay Bailey gets no ire today but Barbara does? Explain to me what exactly this would accomplish?

question: I have comcast.net hi-spd internet, but I use Firefox for browser. Comcast just changed itself around (again), and now is completely fucked up in Forefox mode. Comcast wants Internet Explorer, which I do NOT want.
Anyone know how to make these two compatible, or am I doomed to have a fucked-up comcast home using F'fox as my broswer...???
I really resent being forced to use IE.

And compelling reason you would want to use Comcast as a home page? I always thought their content was t3h SUCK. I've used a blank start page forever. I can help you set Firefox to do just that (or any other page you'd want as a start page, if required).

Why in the hell is blowing up a house full of people and killing them called "bringing them to justice?"
What is justice, anyway? Killing one bad-ass mofo might keep him from doing more shit, but is that truly just? Who, short of the Almighty (He, She, It or Them), can mete out justice? At the very least, where are the scales and the blindfold? Where's the trial, the evidence, jury? And no, this isn't a war. This is an occupation. Bush was right about that, at least as far as it being war. We won the war. We just can't win the peace, and we can't win the peace because we're the foreign invaders.

I hit the blogs frequently in the morning simply to see notable reports that either do not make it to the standards or reports that are not watered down.

There's probably a good RSS aggregator for you, but maybe not for Mr. Deere. Mr. Deere is, I assume, a creature of comfort in his web interface environment, so he may be holding onto Comcast's homepage for that particulat reason more than for the content.
However, I have no better suggestions. I think the mainstream media is just so awful, there's no way to put lipstick on that pig. If you don't know the handful of news source blogs to go to, there's no easy way to pull 'em all together, which is why I use news.google.com for the mainstream stuff -- but it's not a fancy interface, by any means.

Heh! Not an issue for me (I wear glasses, but can see a book/TV fine without them). I was very lucky when I was diagnosed -- I had kickass health coverage, so I could try out masks as long as it took me to find what was right for me. Now, I'm pretty much fucked if I don't guess right, right off the bat.
I'll start researching what (former) Mirage users find acceptable as a replacement ASAP. I think my whole mask assembly was $350, and the cushion ($55) *should* have been replaced 2x/year. With good cleaning, they last a lot longer, though. I think I've had the current one two years, now.
Sarah Deere: Jeff.....I'm such a techno-idiot!!!

Right! See, I did UI and usability in a former life, and I suspected that this was exactly the issue. We could find something that would make him forget about Comcast's rather crappy (content-wise) portal in DAYS... if only I knew of a portal that was similar in its layout and "frippery" (Flash-enabled, similar featureset, etc.). We're all creatures of habit, to some extent -- 95% of the time, I can navigate a site without actually looking closely at what I'm doing, 'cause the interfaces to most of my most-visited sites don't ever change radically. And that's cool with me!
Most corporate web content "deciders" have NEVER UNDERSTOOD THIS SIMPLE CONCEPT. Sad, really.
The solution, in your case, however is likely to be this: Let your hubby keep using IE. You use Netscape/Firefox/whatever-makes-you-happy. Since he's using IE, just make sure your antiviral/anti-badstuff stuff is up-to-date.
Everyone can live happily ever after in that world.

Sarah, Deere - I've just been looking at comcast.com.
Assuming that's where you're starting, no, there's no insistence that you use IE - they've even got workarounds for existing and know issues with Mozilla/Firefox. Go to the Comcast.com page, type in Mozilla or Firefox and follow the instructions on how to make it your default browser. If you're still using an original Mozilla version, it's probably wise to upgrade that, but you really aren't at the mercy of IE on that site. Even if the call center people claim that you are. (I don't use IE myself at all - I've been looking at comcast entirely thru Mozilla.)

Okay. I've been with Comcast cable high-speed for a long time and whenever I call one of their techs they start out saying they don't support Safari.
I tell them that's what I use and I won't use IE and once they absorb that fact they go ahead and help me. I don't know anything about Firefox or any other browser than Safari, but generally they don't give me a hard time. All the techs probably have macs at home anyway! I know you don't have a mac, but just sayin... they are more flexible than they appear.
They can't just blow off all the users of other browsers, that would be crazy!
GWPDA,
I've done that. I've gotten the updated vers of F'fox. It just looks bizarre, and got worse after I upgraded. I did the tools/options/ and F'fox is my default browser.

The radical right with NoReally and Pukeballs fill the air waves with their propaganda we really need to counter that. Otherwise it's gay marriage and abortion as we lose more in Iraq and social services, not to speak of civil liberties here.
Happy Birthday Mr. X!
I predict repuke gains this fall.

You know what? So do I.
Good on ya. I'm 35. I might as well be about 3000. My whole being feels like it's made out of block and tackle, twine, and rubber cement.
GWPDA: You're right. I was all set to turn in, hitting the spa, and then, unfortunately, hit the spa. Slipped, fell whilst trying to maneuver the cover onto it, not far, but hard. So I reckoned I sit up a bit to see if anything came of it....
Wha...?!?
Don't tell me you pulled an Uncle Junior on us!
You'll need to tell us if you need a trip to the ER.

The swift is the nasal pillow. I think that once I get used to it (kind of get my nose bulked up ) it's going to be better. I already don't knock the seal loose as often.

Ack!
I do hope you're alright. Falls can be slippery things. You may think you're alright, but later feel all sore. You may want to ice down now.
Nah, I'm okay, just a bruise. Old bones, dontcha know.

I dont' want it to be so and I am going to work really hard so that it doesn't happen. But I gotta say -- something tells me we're still in big, big trouble.
I;m sure. I hit my -tummy- ... not exactly the most critical portion of the OS....
almost winning is losing,
coming close is losing,
sending a lesson is losing,
all the catch phrases in the world don't mean crap when you lose and keep losing civil liberties.
it's gotta stop. fuck the noble fight, fuck the good fight.
I want to win.
CHEERS!

Fanks. Tomorrow for my celebratory dinner, I will be having Old Bay-spiced steamed shrimp with drawn butter, deep fried panko-coated shrimp with a zesty cocktail sauce (secret recipe), steamed cherrystone clams, and dark chocolate coated marzipan as my vegetable...
Oooh, and a hoarded box of spekulatius cookies for dessert, after a generous helping of strawberry glacι pie...

Are you in Baltimore? My home town!
I know my usual is that I don't do nights and weekends. But I really am myself, and I really am here. And I'm ripped on bourbon and ready to either fight or be maudlin. Or have a discussion, or leave. I don't really give a raw assed cat.
Nah, I'm okay, just a bruise. Old bones, dontcha know.

You take care, you hear?
'Enkew. I'll be good.

Today I am 45.
Well done!

It's my personal best.

As attractive as that price sounds, I'm not sure I could tolerate the thingies in my nostrils. The Mirage and I get along with no sealing issues, ever. I think I'll see what ex-Mirage users have found best, as a starting point. I can probably charm my way into a trial at Vandy, if I feel really unsure.

That's a lot of shrimp!
Mr. X, are you planning to make it to 46? And if so, just box some of that up on ice and send it my way. I'm willing to help save you!
Happy Birthday Mr. X!

Fanks! I don't feel a day over 44!
Weird.

Is there any shrimp sauce involved? It's just not a birthday without shrimp sauce....
There is not fucking winning or losing. You live, and you either fight these assholes, or you find something better to do. We have to fight them, and it never stops.
GWPDA: I;m sure. I hit my -tummy- ... not exactly the most critical portion of the OS....
Okay. If you've made it 104 years thusfar, I won't belabor the point. But I'd feel so much better if you hang out a while with us, if you can.

Not going to happen.
I'm around. I'm drinking grape juice. If I go to bed now I'll get the sheets all purple. Ish.
This thread feels like the new IKEA here. Crowded and there is only one long corridor all the way through.
Mister X is damn near exactly two years older than me! Whoo-hoo! Happy birfday!

That sounds like an excellent dinner. Congrats!!!
We went down to little Italy again tonight. Had another cannoli and a great dinner at another restaurant. We made an attempt to find Berthas, but got distracted by the Italian restaurants.
There is not fucking winning or losing.
I really could'nt give a fuck about winning. This is a problem with this country. It's all about "winning elections" All I want is to keep what *we* have gained. What this election really boils down to, is giving away what rightfully belongs to the people.
Fuck winning, give me the same rights I/we have always enjoyed.
Good luck, J.P. Those thingies do indeed take a little getting used to.
Be well, GWPDA.
Many happy returns, Mr. X. Even if you do eat all the shrimp on the east coast.
B1, hope you find a worthy opponent for your discussion, or a terry-cloth shoulder if you go the maudlin route.
G'night, all.
That's a lot of shrimp!

Does anyone make shrimp beer?
Because that would be cool.

GWPDA: I'm around. I'm drinking grape juice. If I go to bed now I'll get the sheets all purple.
If you're drinking grape juice after a belly flop in the spa, I am becoming less concerned.
However, hang out another 15-20 minutes, if you can, please.

Physically, no. But my heart is forever in Fell's Point.
I lived there after college. One of those incredibly narrow dollhouses - it was all of 12 feet wide, I think, and three stories high. No heat but a fireplace on the first floor. Unforgettable. Yup, that's where my heart is too.
Happy B-day, Mister. Have a crabcake for me!
Are you in Baltimore? My home town!
We love the architecture. Great town from what I saw.
MisterX: My dick is busy at The Block, but that's another story...
I used to be able to rent mine out, too... now it's a negative cash flow situation.

Exactly! They make you walk through everything. What was really funny was that I had the exactly same meal at this IKEA as I had last summer in Finland. Standardization taken to an extreme level.
I'm sick of my fucking conscience. I want to cut it the fuck out of my mind and auction it off. Maybe George goddam Bush can buy the fucking thing.

Oh, yeah?!? Well, enjoy Steve McNair, you [mumblemumblemumble]!

Happy Birthday, Mr. X. A good day for you, a sad day for the shrimp.
Grape juice and little cheese filled cocktail sausages.
Arthur wants those.

But it is winning or losing. It is also an ongoing never ending fight and for the life of me I can't see what could be better than fighting against this tyranny. And I am so tired of all the catch phrases that cover a defeat. I don't want a feel good catch phrase I want solutions. I want courageous people to speak up about those solutions.
I'm sick of my fucking conscience. I want to cut it the fuck out of my mind and auction it off. Maybe George goddam Bush can buy the fucking thing.
I posted about this recently. Consciencectomy is what we need. Once the stitches are out we'll be rich.
I have old-dog blogging on my homepage. Just click on it.
