Was carved from an old Apple tree
And we used garden hose to connect it
To our steam-powered color tv.
But it still beat that ancient Atari
'Cuz I almost went blind, don'tcha know,
Playing Breakout and Pong on a video game
Hooked up to the radio.
And we walked twenty miles to the schoolhouse
Barefoot, uphill both ways,
Through blizzards in summer and winter
Back in the good old days.
Back when Fortran was not even Three-tran
And the PC was only a toy
And we did our computing by gaslight

Hastert's scandals are creating an opening for his opponent, John Laesch
by Joe in DC - 10/14/2006 03:44:00 PM
The latest poll in Hastert's Congressional District has him ahead by a 52% - 42% margin. That's pretty astounding.
Denny hasn't had to run a real campaign for years. And, he's way off his game. He's scrambling to save the GOP majority in addition to his own seat. Let's make him really work. (No one really thought Tom Foley was going to lose in 1994, so don't think a Speaker can't be defeated.)
Laesch is within striking distance. Denny's not doing much to improve his credibility these days. Here's the website for Laesch and this is his ActBlue site. Remember, the more Hastert has to do to save his own butt, the less he can do to help the rest of his caucus.
Check out Laesch's latest ad using the campaign ad of Tom Reynolds against Hastert. This has got to make Denny http://americablog.blogspot.com/

Chimpy humour doesn't work so well in sports
The incident Friday afternoon began when Lou Piniella, a guest analyst working with Lyons and Thom Brennaman, noted that the Oakland Athletics could not expect shortstop Marco Scutaro to continue to produce runs as he did when he drove in six during the division series against Minnesota.
Piniella said that expecting similar production would be "like finding a wallet on a Friday night and looking for one on Sunday and Monday, too."
Four minutes later, they had moved to different subjects and Piniella said something in Spanish. "The bilingual Lou Piniella," Brennaman said.
Lyons said: "Lou's habla'ing some Espańol there, and I'm still looking for my wallet. I don't understand him and I don't want to sit close to him now." The three laughed and continued calling the game.
D'Ermilio declined to elaborate on the apparent insensitivity of Lyons's words. He said that Fox executives were unavailable for comment.
Lyons was fired after the game.

Henrietta the Hound got a quarter of her ear bitten off by a dog who was her friend. The dog had some health trouble and had been put on cortisone which may cause extra aggression. They were romping around as usual and suddenly the other dog chomped her eartip off. Now Henrietta has asymmetrical earlobes, though they tried to make the shorter one the same shape. It doesn't really show much unless you know to look.

Contact: U.S. Department of Justice, 202-514-2007; 202-514-1888 (TDD); Web: http://WWW.USDOJ.GOV
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Justice Department announced today that it filed a lawsuit against the City of Philadelphia, alleging violations of the rights of Hispanic and Spanish-speaking voters under two key provisions of the Voting Rights Act.
"The right to vote is a fundamental guarantee for all American citizens," said Wan J. Kim, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "In light of the serious problems faced by minority language citizen voters in Philadelphia, we hope that city officials and the Justice Department can reach an agreement quickly to begin essential remedial measures in time for the 2006 federal elections."
The Voting Rights Act requires that certain jurisdictions with a substantial minority-language voter population provide all voting materials and assistance in the minority language as well as in English. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, charges that the city failed to provide Spanish-language assistance at the polls to the majority of its Spanish- speaking voters in recent elections. http://releases.usnewswire.com/G...se.asp?

I tried to get a laugh with my furinture arraignment/"get the chair" joke, but that's why I don't quit my day job.
Rake leaves? I just mow them into mulch and leave them on the lawn. My 'lawn' area has the shittiest soil so it needs something extra that leaves have in abundance. The only time I raked them was when the kid was tiny and loved to barrel into them with the dogs. Now that she is almost out of high school and oh so mature (snicker), I just use the ZTR mower and do a mulching number on them. It's really cool to see them fly all over the place in tiny pieces and it cleans all the crap out from under the mower (grass sticks to the underside and leaves do not).
The rake is sort of an after thought for smoothing out the mulch in the bulb garden (leaves are great for that too!)

No one is interested in forests of ganja in Afghanistan? Am I in the right place?
Snow,
Set me down in the middle of those forests, or tell me where the fruits thereof may be had, I'm all ears and eyes.

Damn it! Corker (R) running for senate in TN was due to give a deposition next week about a land deal he was involved in, and the bastards went and settled. LINK.
It might have been excellent pre-election entertainment.

The only thing I'll say here is that I do think it's best if arguments stay on the thread where they started. It's never a good idea, IMHO, to drag them upstairs to a new thread.
Fuck you, beyotch. Here's why you're wrong about that and homeschooling...
Yes, that is HALF A FUCKING MILLION PEOPLE. And the media still laugh at his jokes.

From what I see they've got a movie out with a wrestler playing a marine who gets kicked out for "saving his buddies" against orders. Fascist Hollywood is starting with the "fought Iraq with one hand tied behind our backs" lie for when this one turns into a route.
I'm ready to make it illegal for movies to lie about history, it has consequences with too many ignorant people.

Prior Aelred, Hi Prior. Hope you're doing well. Sounds like your sermon is on target.
I was trying to remember the name of the buns I'm using for the burgers tonight and it took me 20 minutes to think of the words "kaiser rolls."
One of the funniest things I ever did was to punch a telephone number into the microwave panel.

Irony is too insufficient a concept to describe George W. Bush uttering the phrase "soft bigotry of low expectations".
Imagine him practising it in front of a mirror, over and over again.

The nationwide event comes from Boston in response to the legal battles over marriage taking place in Massachusetts. These battles are destined to have an impact not only on marriage, but also on the free speech and freedom of religion rights of all citizens.

the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana.
I has so many uses.
We tried burning them with white phosphorous -- it didn't work. We tried burning them with diesel -- it didn't work.
Somehow, I doubt their hearts were in it.
A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those (forests) did catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action.
Who says?

By the way, you're right about homeschooling, as it turns out. There are good arguments in favor of it - so you won one. Pbbbbththththt!!!!!!!!

The trouble, well, one of the troubles with Mitt is that he prolly would take the faith-based stuff seriously.
Of course, it would be the Moromon faith-based stuff, but who's gonna care about that?

From what I see they've got a movie out with a wrestler playing a marine who gets kicked out for "saving his buddies" against orders.
John Cena, whose first cousins are Mark and Donny Wahlberg, incidentally.
That's a movie made with the wingnuts in mind.

Oh, oh. Don't get me started on homeschooling.
All people should homeschool all their children. Which is why I'm really down on Thers and Molly for not raising their kids right. They also don't give them enough whiskey.

There are good arguments in favor of it - so you won one.
"KANE COUNTY -- A 36-year-old Aurora man seeking election to the Kane County Board in November has been charged with sexually abusing two girls.
Brent K. Schepp, of the 400 block of Linden Avenue, was named in a 26-count criminal indictment announced Friday by Kane County State's Atty. John Barsanti. ,,,"
I'm starting to wonder if the GOP doesn't knowingly pick these guys because they can be blackmailed into voting for anything the leadership wants.
