I'll be watching on TV. For some reason my wife's boss decided he wanted everyone into the office on Tuesday. I told her to let him know he's being a GOP asshole.
The accomplished ditching of the United Airline plane pilot by Chesley B. Sullenberger III was the perfect coda to the Bush years.
In a fitting coincidence, it even overshadowed the president's final address to the nation; reality once again intruding on the public relations fantasies of the Bush administration.
At the center, the event was occupied by a man who is everything George W. Bush is not; A well trained professional, who took his job and responsibilities seriously, reacted calmly under extremis and with precision and care. His moment of truth became a job well done.
Nice moment. Glorious news.

Mrs. U's college is showing the inauguration on big-screen TVs in the campus center, I think mostly to keep faculty from bogging down the servers by streaming it into their classrooms.

Rachel Maddow had a wonderful opening last night in which she discussed, at length, what the incident represented: the concerted effort to create the conditions that when an emergency occurs, people calming, cooly, and with a sense of purpose address the emergency and mitigate its effects.

Once upon a time, our host didst aver:
"If Obama is the nominee by November a substantial portion of wingnuttia will assert that Obama is, actually, a terrorist. Not just a terrorist sympathizer, a supporter of terrorists, or looks like a terrorist, but is an actual capital 'T' terrorist."
Of course, this didn't happen, and we observe in passing that our host has taught us upon multiple occasions that those who make errant predictions are "wankers".

I was reading Greenwald this morning and I saw that the fair and balanced media thinks people that want to investigate W are just "liberal score settlers". That's from David Ignatius. Anyone else remember how the media excused their poor performance during the runup to the war by saying most Democratic politicians weren't being vocal against it. (We'll just set aside Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd to help them make their argument). So now when democrats are being vocal about opposing policies and investigating them, the media characterizes them as liberal score settlers. Frigging shameless.
Has anyone here been listening to Obama since the election?
I'm looking forward to my middle class tax cut! (Well, not really, but it sounds good.)

Oh I see, Duane. There was a namestealer called ANNIE, so of course you have to ask if it was me.
Know what? Ignore me, baby.
The whole damn party is, frankly.

Wow, the US IS expensive! Try buying them at ALDI. I guess its even cheaper than Walmart. Sam's Stores had to close here in Germany because they were seen as too expensive...

Fuck 'em for trying to muck up the LRT route in St. Paul. Using air time to advocate rerouting the train? Really fucking cool, MPR.

Amen, brother.
And did you hear Bill Kling at the last Morning Show, the one at the Fitzgerald? Talking, jokingly, about a reprieve, in front of thousands of people who loved that show, that he cancelled?
I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.
No one will be getting rid of Social Security and no one will be cutting benefits. Medicare will be dealt with.
Medicaid is an entirely different story.

Or just plain dumb. Speaking of bricks, I just got one that from an old ranchero style home with the ornate oracle look. The brick, not the home. To add to my collection, not homes but different bricks.
I am talking demographics here. If the GOP wants to continue being the racist, xenophobic, anti choice, anti gay, black, latino party they are quite fucked.
Population trends make them screwed. The GOP literally has to change or it's over for them.
The guy from fivethirtyeight had an interesting article on the demographics of this last election. The Republicans got old white people in rural areas. Not a growing demographic

Atrios linked, just after the election, to a map showing where the GOP gained this last cycle, by county.
There was this swath of red running from the Appaliachians, through Tennessee, to the Ozarks.

Imho there is flawed logic in this statement. Why not piss on him as long as he isn't on fire?

I have one of those collections, more like a pile. I dug some out of the foundation of an old whorehouse in LA and had them added to my house when I had the brick repaired. I found a bunch more in an old I have no what idea what it was in the woods. Clay bricks are cool.

Really.
The city ponied up millions to help them expand their studios on 7th & Cedar (they were threatening to move to Minneapolis). They knew full well that the train was gonna pass them, and worked with the Met Council on noise impact studies.
Someone mentioned somewhere that Decca(?) Records' studio in London sits on top of a tube route, yet they were able to churn out tons of quality recordings.

Hey Allen -- you've heard that they now make suppositories out of Cheetos, right?
And don't bother telling me I've already asked you that. Your 3rd favorite rhetorical ploy, I know, but it's really tired.
I'm considering starting a hedge fund manager "disappearance" service.
Of course NPR is trying to manufacture a false consensus. They're just fulfilling their function. Manufacturing consent..
Everytime that station allows phone calls regarding investigations about torture or surveillance or any other crap W has pulled the majority of the callers say Hell yeah, investigate. By my admittedly rough estimate it's probably 5 to 1 in favor of investigations and even prosecutions. And yet the hosts cannot wrap their minds around the fact that people want to know what happened and if necessary want prosecutions.
If Obama drove to Washington he'd probably get pulled over a dozen times.

The idea of enforcing the law on the elite just doesn't cross their pea sized minds.
Decca is indeed a label, used to be in the US as well. The Stones started out on Decca UK, iirc.

My comment: What's a Snuggie?
The National Safety Council recommended it, cd; but it has no force of law.

thanks, plants. let's just hope some dogooder congresscritter doesn't decide to make a related bill the Most Important Issue of the Year. like someone said above, we've got plenty more important issues to deal with, right now.

Israel's military has carried out 50 air strikes in Gaza overnight as its cabinet prepares to vote on a proposal for a unilateral ceasefire.

Not a bad buy, if the fleece is nice.

I intuited that about you and me. I also have a piece of a brick from the 1800s in my collection from a whore house here, not a whore who gave me the brick, just a brick I dug up.

I hope that one of Obama's first acts as President is to put a moratorium on Diablo Cody.

I used to work for a sign company in an industrial park in an upscale suburb. Our painter was named Al, and he was black. He got pulled over a lot, on the way to work.
It's a fleece blanket with sleeves on one end.

Oh, where to begin...
Largest crowd ever for an inauguration - LBJ in 1964
Obama's gonna break that easy.
I don't want a snuggie because it's effective or a good buy...I want to buy it simply that they describe it as a blanket with sleeves...which to me seems like the best way to actually describe a shirt. I love that they ignore the fact that they are selling a backwards robe, and ignore how ridiculous the product is...it's a selling point for me.
So you would piss on someone you dislike if they were on fire to put it out?
If you have the money to bug things on a lark, why the hell not?
Heh. "buy."
Presidentin' while black: now legal in all 50 states.
Suck it, wingnuts!

Depends on where he starts from.
Oh, cool Obama pic I hadn't see before.
"I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire"
Of course not.
those situations call for an accelerant.

Takes alot of hate not to piss on someone who was on fire. I would piss on them to put it out. I just don't have it in me not to.
Duane, you should get a gravatar. I peeked in late last night and it was v. v. weird.

Backwards garments are WEIRD.
For the first time in my life last week, I went into a hospital (for a diagnostic procedure). I'd never worn one of those "tie in the back" hospital gowns in my life. It was so weird to put it on...it didn't seem right to put it on the "right way".
I would not piss on anybody who was on fire. There would be some nasty burns.
I rarely encounter people on fire.

LOL! but also :grrr: and "true."
a black male friend and i once got pulled over by a hick cop up north. the cop demanded my 13yo sister show him her license. i pointed out she wasn't old enough to have one, and he got this disappointed look on his face. i don't like to wonder what he was thinking.

"I rarely encounter people on fire"
Me neither- and I imagine instinct would kick in and I would probably do what it took- pissing, even- to put the fire out.
And *then* learn it was someone I really didn't like...
Oh noes!
I've killed another thread!
Bad aangus!
I understand protocol, but still, my wife would be; "I don't care if you're president, don't walk in front of me like that"
Pretty soon I'm going to have a whole cemetary out back!
