I had a thread virtually all to myself, and then there's ANOTHER ONE!
I'm filing an official protest.
And you can delete my account, too!
It is broken and cannot be fixed with 100 mile-o-hour tape!
But the 200 MPH type . . . naw, still fucked up.
I am a little concerned that Pelosi and Reid's open letter to Bush might have the opposite effect and push him over the edge. If he was equivocating before (which, frankly, I doubt) he won't be now.
If we know anything at all about The Decider, it is that he can't stand for people to think that he is taking advice from reasonable people.
So that last thread lasted, what, about two minutes? Wow.
It is broken and cannot be fixed with 100 mile-o-hour tape!
Oh, I dunno, you can do wonders with duct tape and plastic sheeting.

I'll bring the snacks!
Other people's lives mean nothing to Bush. We saw it when he ignored the PDB, we see it in Iraq, we see it in New Orleans.
Let's quit playing around.
Impeach the motherfucker already.
I'd like to see Bush pronounce the word "fruition."
Impeach the motherfucker already.
If Bush behaves as he has in the past, he's toast. I think everyone's waiting to see how he proceeds.
Tomorrow it will be 52 degrees, proving Al Gore is scum.
Something to be said about cycles. We're clearly about 3/4 through the Fuck Up Iraq cycle, and momentum will determine what happens next.
Bush has no choice but to accelerate. Dems have no choice but to oppose. Whenever the surge gains some ground, he'll declare "mission accomplished", then head for the hills in time for the '08 elections.
Too bad more kids will have to die. Nature of the beast.
Impeach the motherfucker already.
TJ
Anyone remember how in the rush to start bombing Iraq, anytime he was asked about it Bush would smirk and say, "there are no war plans on my desk"?
Well, the Dem leaders should just smile and say "there are no impeachment plans on my desk".
Give President Piece'o'shit something to mull over.
David Suskind in the One Percent Solution recounts how w's advisors know he likes bloodthirsty stories so they always send in someone who has actually seen combat to brief him. And to entertain him with some of the gore they have witnessed.
Really spooky.
I am a little concerned that Pelosi and Reid's open letter to Bush might have the opposite effect and push him over the edge.
Hopefully on national TV.
THe decider is damping down his surge. (Actually, it's a splurge, but instead of spending money foolishly and recklessly, he's spending other people's lives.)
Does this sound like a "SURGE" or more like limp-dick lip service:
Bush is looking at three broad options involving one to five additional brigades, according to U.S. officials. The smallest increase would basically be limited to the brigade from the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, comprising fewer than 4,000 troops, which has already departed for Kuwait. It would eventually be deployed in Baghdad.
The second option would involve deploying another Army brigade to Baghdad and two battalions of Marines to Anbar, the volatile province that has been a battlefield for the Sunni insurgency and foreign fighters associated with al-Qaeda. The Marines could not be deployed until February, U.S. officials said. The joint Army and Marine deployment would bring the increase to between 9,000 and 10,000 troops.
The third option would supplement the first and second with additional Army brigades, bringing the total to about 20,000, largely deployed in the Iraqi capital. But U.S. officials said this would take considerable time -- possibly three or four months, with a complete deployment as late as May -- because of the difficulty of assembling additional troops through accelerating planned deployments and remobilizing reserves, U.S. officials said.
Some macho surge.
Off topic, but i saw yesterday (or the day before?) that Louisiana suffered some severely destructive tornados.
Has anyone heard yet how the insurance companies plan on denying the claims?

From Fort Riley, KS
:::The Department of the Army announced Dec. 19 that the 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division, at Fort Riley and the 3rd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, at Fort Knox, Ky., will convert to modular brigade combat teams faster than originally planned.
...
The effective date of 3rd Bde.'s conversion is April 16, 2007, which is 11 months earlier than anticipated.
The brigade will have about 3,800 Soldiers when fully formed. The unit will gain personnel and equipment over the next year and will conduct training at individual and unit levels throughout the build-up. :::

Pretty soon it won't matter, because NOLA homeowners won't be able to get homeowner's insurance at all. The emergency rule expired, and insurance cos. are now free to send out cancellation notices. Reading the nola.com comment boards, I noticed several people begging for tips on where to find insurance. People want to buy a house but cannot because they can't get insurance. The Republicans have completely fucked the city, and the developers are rubbing their hands with glee.

Yep, I'm aware of that. I've even been known to say "fixin' to" on occasion myself.
However, I would like the President of the United States to use proper grammar in a speech. 
Actually, i don't think the tornados were in New Orleans, tho they were in Louisiana.
i was just speculating, based on the observation that insurance companies have apparently figured out that they don't have to pull any of their capital out of their market investments, if they just don't pay claims. Simply writing laws requiring the public to purchase insurance (to drive, buy a house, etc.) will keep the unearned revenues flowing in.

And speaking of NOLA and developers, outgoing National Hurricane Center Chief Max Mayfield issued some dire warnings 2 days ago:
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/
sto...FIELD_0104.html
"We're eventually going to get a strong enough storm in a densely populated area to have a major disaster," he said. "I know people don't want to hear this, and I'm generally a very positive person, but we're setting ourselves up for this major disaster."
[snip]
He argues that his own dire predictions don't have to become reality.
Technology exists to build high-rise buildings capable of withstanding hurricane-force winds and tropical storm surges more powerful than experienced in the past few years. Much of Hong Kong's architecture has been built to survive typhoons, and hotels and apartments built in Kobe, Japan, after a 1995 earthquake devastated the city are touted as indestructible, he said.
What is lacking in the U.S. is the political will to make and impose hard decisions on building codes and land use in the face of resistance from the influential building industry and a public still willing to gamble that the big one will never hit, he said.
"It's good for the tax base" to allow developers to put up buildings on the coastline, Mayfield said in explaining politicians' reluctance to deter housing projects that expose residents to storm risks.
"I don't want the builders to get mad at me," he said, "but the building industry strongly opposes improvement in building codes."
FDR, 1941:
"Today is a day that will live in infamy. You used to could believe oceans protected us, but December the seventh learned us that we must deal with threats before frew-ee-shun."
Bush actually says, "You used to could" in that audio. Jeebus.
Harvard Business School gave that mental defective a degree.
One of the reasons whenever someone where I work says, "So-and-so has a degree from (put business school here)," I'll say, "Bush has one from Harvard. What's your point?"
However, I would like the President of the United States to use proper grammar in a speech.
He might could if someone taught him properly.

Lack of affordable insurance, among MANY other things, is preventing homeowners from returning to the 9th ward. Developers want to buy this property for pennies, bulldoze it and build a playground for the rich. There is not one iota of doubt in my mind that this is the ultimate plan.

Mayfield (from the link):
More than 1,300 deaths across the Gulf Coast were attributed to Hurricane Katrina, the worst human toll from a weather event in the United States since the 1920s.
But Mayfield warns that 10 times as many fatalities could occur in what he sees as an inevitable killer storm strike during this highly active hurricane cycle, which is expected to last another 10 to 20 years.

It is stupid. Mr. TJ and I were talking about that yesterday. Because NOLA does not have any sort of functioning mass transit that will support a workforce that lives in say, Metairie or Slidell, and commutes to the city.

How did DARE fail? Are you students on drugs, or something?
Students who take it have comparable or higher rates of drug use five years down the line, in almost every study. The only ones that show improvement are the short-term studies, where fifth-graders say "Oh, I'll never do that!"
But I'd also hazard that yes, the majority of my students are on some drug, as defined by DARE.

I'd say leave his rumpled in the baskets, but I'd guess, he'd leave them there till he rummaged through the baskets, and then wear rumpled clothes.
When insurance companies won't write policies, government steps in to provide insurance subsidized by taxes. Rich people get free insurance while pushing for tax changes that push the tax burden downward. Eventually the poor are paying for their own insurance and partially paying for the insurance for the wealthy.
i would imagine that the plan for NO is like those other resord lands - to sell, sell, sell many multi-millions of McMansions, and let the owners figure out how to bring in boat people to mow the yard.

That's what your nose is for.
It's 10. Where's my roofer?
With the Sears refrigerator repair guy?
I've got "morning after" heartburn. Why I thought it'd be a good thang to eat like 20 Hershey's Almond Kisses before bed, I'll never know.

You forgot to note that he will also scatter clean clothes on the floor while looking, which will then be dirty clothes without having been worn.
It's not that they're dirty now, it's just hard to distinguish them from the real dirty ones.
I use this same system.
Here too as well. My conscience is made slightly more clear, but the disorder that much greater, by the fact that Dr. Mrs. sdf does so as well.
I hear the siren-call of CostCo -- telling me to buy 500 pounds of rocksalt.
Anybody need anything?

They've gone rollerblading in the sunshine.
For the dog park, come as you are, no question; particularly if you must attend to droppings.
plantsman
To my knowledge Des Moines has no dog park.
Also my dog dropped a double load last night...and I was without a plastic bag for the sequel.
Yeah, but you're a single guy.

It's a vicious circle, since the wearing of dirty clothes doesn't help with potential-wife-attracting.
Where's my scooter?!?!?!
.
I have a friend in the Bay Area, a college professor, who must live with her parents to keep afloat.
That's just wrong.
ok, well i'll got the dog park with oily hair and face and dirty clothes...but i'll thinking of what susan collins will be saying to bush. i actually like her. she's one of the superstars in my book even if she's gop and sounds tortured
It's 10. Where's my roofer?
i put it in your drink already. Just keep sipping.
I did not know they made a Pirates of the Caribbean playset. I need one for myself.
i will be heartbroken when my youngest gets too old to play with her Pirates legos and her dad. Not least because i will no longer have the excuse to be on the floor with Legos.

For me, those foil-wrapped lens cleaning wipes are essential.
The folding oflaundry always seems to be the last thing we get to around here. Neither I nor Mrs. Blerb like to do it. Actually running the machines is no big bother, so the piles of clothes on top of the dryer can get pretty comical in their emormity..

Have you tried learned helplessness at the laundromat to attract a mate?
Just another January day in Canada.
May have to put some shorts on and go out for a jog.
Yeesh.

Thers once had a student use that as an excuse for missing a week's worth of class. "I think someone slipped me one of those date-rape drugs!"
My teen avoids this by never changing her clothes.
Molly Ivors
Heh. Nah, the boys are pretty clean. But they play basketball and work out so if they didn't change their clothes and shower I don't think I'd let 'em in the house. And it's part of our deal on the hair--it can be as long as they want, cut however they want as long as it's clean.
Plus, Older Son is super obsessive. We're trying to work on it a bit. Like, when it's his turn to load the dishwasher, he will separate the silverware by type into the little holders (all forks together, etc.). He'll spend an hour on the weekend cleaning his shoes. The armchair psychiatrist (and guilt factory) in me says that it's a result of our crazy life when he was little, and now he's trying to establish order externally.
Nope, the real slob in the house is Mr. TJ. He makes me insane.

I can make that change, permanently, for $7.

Secret a set of Legos for the future in your office, if you have one.

No, but I have a washer and dryer.
Maybe I'll drag them out into the driveway and sit there with a box of detergent, looking helpless.

A life jacket would do a better job.

Women don't seem attacted to helplessness anymore. Damitt

It's weird-- I clearly have this unreasonable belief that Omega-3 fatty acids will benefit me.
One thing has to be admitted here: For all the asshats who repeatedly called for more and more F.U.s and more patience, the patience has run out.
Headline after headline tells us of the domino effect of 11% approval ratings for the McCain Surge coming. Republicans; Democrats; Muslims and Jews and Xtians and Buddhists are all getting in line to oppose the merry Iraq Invasion once and for all, and in force.
It's done. It's 1974 all over again, but Bush doesn't know that yet. Anyone surprised?
If six months is a Friedman, is three months a Warner?
nice bed ,no?

The Decider is going to Decide that other people need to sacrifice for his disaster.
Doesn't Lieberman have a belligerent, loud-mouthed son who ought to go to set a good example?
