Hey! You missed the paint discussion.
The honeymoons are over for a 26-year-old woman who authorities say has at least 10 husbands.
Eunice Lopez has been charged with bigamy, accused of marrying 10 men between 2002 and 2006 without divorcing any of them, federal immigration authorities say. The Miami Herald reported Saturday that a records search by the newspaper found seven additional marriages under the bride's name and birth date.
Lopez arrived in South Florida from Cuba in 2002 and was a legal U.S. resident.
"I can tell you that none of the individuals she married had any type of residency," said Terry Chavez, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade office of the state attorney.
Prosecutors say she charged her husbands an unspecified amount to help them secure immigration status and continued asking the men for money long after the wedding, threatening to expose them if they didn't pay.
Chavez said the state attorney's office began investigating after being tipped off by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Lopez was released on $18,000 bond. Her last known address was in Hialeah, just north of Miami. A telephone listing for her could not be located, and it was not known whether she had an attorney.

A Democratic president means four years of talking to high school friends to see if s/he graduated a virgin and never got near drugs....
I've been saying this for the past 6 months. The Clinton/Obama/Edwards administration will have constant calls for independent prosecutors and resignations, and impeachments. This will still be better than a Guiliani/Thompson/Romney administration who will be just as bad and corrupt as this one.

Not if the new president tries to put as many Republicans (inluding talk show hosts) in jail as he or she can.
That will keep them busy and out of mischief.

Atrios,
Considering that the economy will be mimicking the state of Michigan, the educational system will be in shambles, the army will be broken, whatever wealth remains will be ensconced offshore in numbered accounts in Switzerland or the Cayman Islands, and the roads, bridges, sewers and other portions of the infrastructure of this country will be in shambles: what makes you think it will make any difference?
I'm not sure that's a scenario I want.
And this scenario is much better than the alternative.
Sad but twoo.

I actually found a bit of newspaper from 1954 (not that old, admittedly), when I tried to repair a door that wouldn't latch properly--someone 50 years before me had tried to fix the problem by shoving in a little newspaper... Well, I guess is did kinda work for 50 years...

And K&Y, just to remind you of the premise behind Arachnophobia, scientist discover a previously undiscovered sink-hole in the Amazon jungle with a truly unique ecology. There are literally thousands of species of plants and animals that have evolved separately. A scientific team is stranded in this "Paradise" and must find a way to save themselves from the spiders that are hunting birds and such. . . (And then they simply leave this portion of the story and cut to the USA where the body of one of the scientists is shipped. They tell us nothing of the rescue or of the ecosystem or anything else. There was a wonderful story to be told in that sinkhole, they let it go)
Sarah Deere!!
How's the dental work?
We were actually thinking along the same lines as that. We will simply not be allowed to have a leftist president, it's against the rules, but a leftier one would draw exactly the kind of media attention Bush and Reagan and the other Bush were immune from, and this would repair a lot of the procedural damage wrought by the Maoist Busheviki Politburo.
Except that trying vote keeps blowing up in our faces. And what if the procedural changes are part of something bigger and more permanent?
I admit - I'm confused by their undoing. Who is they: dems or gop?
The new Dem president can declare anyone an enemy combatant.
That would be Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Ailes, Murdoch, etc.
Heck, I found old cans of Schlitz when I cleaned out my parents house.

And just to remind you of the premise of Species, you want to depict really good intense woman superior sex as it doesn't get shot in porn, so you use illusion, metaphor and context to intensify the overall mood. But there are these secret rules that the girl always has to lose, that most of the screentime be occupied by crap that has nothing to do with the point of the movie, that distracting and self-defeating computer effects ruin what's left and that there be this thing with nudity.
Spiders are creepy, man. Spiders are creepy.
The new president must set out to kill the GOP as a legitimate political entity. He or she will have a historic opportunity to eliminate the republicans by merely enforcing existing law.
Of course, the first thing we'll hear is a call for "bipartisanship" from our new leader and that will be the end. Again.

When it's shittily made, it's not worth saving unfortunately. We're paying the price of extending our kitchen. The guy helping us wired the stove, the microwave, dishwasher to the hot box that has our living tv on it. Constantly blowing out and will have to climb up into the attic sometime and rewire.

I have a house that has stood for over a hundred years. Anything that is going to go wrong already has.
I cannot get a new house built this well short of winning the fucking lottery.

Well, to be fair, they only took out three feet of the joist. Just left the rest in situ.
But they didn't put anything under the tub to replace it.
Like I said, it's a good thing they used 5x8s for joists back then.

My previous house was almost 100 yrs old, was well constructed, and had great woodwork. The problem is the plumbing & electrical systems are totally outdated in old homes. No way could you run more than 1 window air conditioner at a time. Or even 1 air conditioner and a vacuum.

I figure a lot of that kind of "home repair" was done by some guy who said "That'll hold it for now, I'll fix it right next weekend."

Updated the electrics to 100 amp and re-wired every circuit I could get my paws on. Plumbing wasn't bad (vintage 1970's), except for the kitchen, where they had crimped the pipes to go over a joist.
Didn't find any aluminum wiring, oddly enough.

My prediction - a new Special Prosecutor statute will be introduced in the first week of the '09 congress...
...and a majority of Democratic legislators will vote for it.
something tells me impeachment will be back on the table circa february 2009. (of course thats only if a democrat is elected president.)
because....there's only one possible alternative to that scenario, right?
Atrios assumes that there will be an election next year. There won't... at least not a transfer of power. I don't know how this will come to happen but an "unprecedented" thing will occur to prevent it. And that's when the shit-fan starts blowing. I know it in my bones but haven't a clue what to do about it.
MUCH better than the alternative.

The same thing the Framers did: get a gun and learn how to use it.
I don't understand this post. Barring the apocalypse, Republicans in Congress will continue to try to undermine democracy as we thought we knew it.
As Hillary keeps saying, any Dem who thinks they are going to escape the Republican attack dogs is foolish.
So whatever limits are placed on a Dem president will disappear when there is a Repub in the White House. I hardly see this as preferable to having a Dem president and Congress come to an open agreement to restore balance between the branches of gov't.
And there is the Supreme Court. There will surely be appointees in the next term
Hasn't anyone considered that all this throwing up of hands just makes us look weak? Remember what Bill Clinton said about "strong and wrong"? Why help it along? Why assume the public will just swallow it without thinking? I mean, do you want us to just throw up our hands and give up?
Never will happen. The Dems are too much of wusses to ever do it.
