Oh oh
I called sheets
That's good for Dems. Right?
Who called sheets without a frist?
I did. Nothing clever to say
I think you meant "pissing OFF" Liberals...your phrase makes me imagine a steady stream of tiny liberals falling down a stream from a huge Conservative member!
Try using spellcheck occasionally...
Notice Atroits how silent simels has become. Is he thinking or is he jacking off.? Or both?
The repubs could fall of their swords for besmirching their own and their country's honor.
Oh, I forgot, they have no honor, nor the courage to do this.
The Repigs will never admit that they backed a loser for eight years.
spellcheck wouldn't catch "of."
a huge Conservative member
There IS no such thing!!!!!!!!
All of these jag-off pundits were even talking about how Bush would get some "sympathy bounce" in the polls in the waning days of his reign.
All the way up to 28%! Were these clods all hypnotized by Bill Kristol? Sucks to be wrong so often.
dt'd:
Hey, Moe, do the interns have any ideas or theories regarding the online thing? Do they expect print to provide them jobs?
Well, you see, that's just it--only a very few people have figured out how to make an on-line paper work, financially. And even the most successful I know of, only six people are employed. My paper is investing a hell of a lot of money, and even more time, to try to figure these things out, and we've got a new thing rolling out next year, but it's still going to be dependent on the paper version.
So, at this point, most j students realize they're going to be working for old fashioned newspapers, or give up and go the PR route. Here in Canada, the very best of them will eventually work for the ceeb, where they'll get good pay and bennies doing radio (mostly), but even they're cutting back, relying more on freelancers.
Things aren't looking good for the industry.

I would love it if Obama would verbally rip Bush a new asshole as they ride together from the White House to the Capital for the oath of office.
.
It's just me again!
I think Obama would be too worried about Bush throwing up on him.
Because you KNOW Chimpy is going to show up BLITZED.
Does anyone want to hear what happened after the knightly battles, which I won every one and I was brought before the king as the victor. Then he announced to all at the arena that I was number one and I was so happy and proud. The king brought me before him and after compliments he told the queen to take care of me. Well that's where it all went wrong.
The "Bush kept us safe" is their fire ax on the wall. If something like another terrorist attack occurs during Obama's tenure (no matter how small) the "Bush kept us safe" and look what Obama's election 'caused' will be repeated ad nauseum.
.
Do not underestimate the fundies and extreme conservative wing of the GOP -- a la Huckers. They are staying with a positive everything -- Chambliss, Coleman trying to constantly paint himself leading in MN. It is a solid go-to base. Their problems include numbers compared to the OBAMA GOVOTE and machine and the idea people are mostly hanging on from the Rockefeller (Nelson) wing. We've seen the govote work. But you also watching Obama try to bring in some of the smarter, moderate GOP people. Not necessarily inside his camp, but more as partners. I like it. But I do agree that Nooners and the knuckledraggers (Queen Palin?) are grasping at straws with very short fingers.

The Delusion and Assholeyness of Chicken Caesar:
Delusion: "I done great in the Middle East"
----
Bush said his administration has been "ambitious in vision, bold in action and firm in purpose" — although not always popular — in its approach to the volatile region. ...
Bush proclaimed that the Mideast was a freer, more hopeful place today than it was when he took office in 2001.
----
Yes, I'm sure the million dead Iraqis don't disagree with you, George.
Assholeyness
----
Campers may now pack heat along with their sleeping bags when they travel to national parks.
The Bush administration on Friday struck down federal regulations banning loaded guns in most national forests, a move that was widely seen as a parting shot on behalf of the National Rifle Association.
The ruling overturned a 25-year-old federal regulation severely restricting concealed firearms in national parks and wildlife refuges. The new rule, which would take effect in January, would apparently allow anyone who already has a concealed weapons permit in his or her state to also tote a gun in federal parks within state boundaries.

Earlier in the day, Bush got a look at how history will remember him — at least in one artist's view — as he presided over the unveiling of his portrait at a private club.

Never mind the fact that if another terrorist attack occurs on U.S. soil, the Bushies will probably have engineered it. Other things that never happened during either Bush term, for which he should be given credit:
1) Another Ice Age
2) Martian Invasion
3) Meteors Striking Earth
4) Supernova of Sun
5) Capture of Bin Laden
6) Successful Anthrax Attacks investigation

Well, I was talking from the perspective of the reporters, and soon-to-be reporters. He's right: most of the workaday papers in small cities across the continent are pulling in 20, 30 percent profits. But they do that by dumbing down their editorial departments, not investing in them.
When does a newspaper stop being a newspaper? Is the Metro chain really a newspaper? Or is it an ad sheet? Frankly, I have more respect for my buddy who publishes a weekly ad sheet, no editorial copy whatsoever.
Rumors have been swirling around again that there will be a big lay off at my place of work on Monday morning. There might be something to this. In the past when corporate officers visited our place, you'd get an email to make sure you cubical, lab, or work space was clean and tidy. Last week there were several meeting with top officers including the head of HR, with no such notice. They had some late night closed door meetings.
Oh well, there have a been a few interesting job ads that have made their way into my email box, that I think I'd be qualified for if the worst happens.
I sincerely hope the GOP continues to parade Sarah Palin around with the same frequency they continue to defend the Bush record. As we slide deeper into a depression, such a strategy can only work well for the Democrats...

At least the Market is munching the trickle downers

BYOB is an acronym most commonly meant to stand for "bring your own booze." The term "booze" is slang for alcoholic drinks. BYOB may also be defined as "bring your own beer" or "bring your own bottle." It is also commonly used to mean "bring your own beef" at a barbecue
And in jack's case, it means "Bring Your Own Bullshit."
He's right: most of the workaday papers in small cities across the continent are pulling in 20, 30 percent profits. But they do that by dumbing down their editorial departments, not investing in them.
Oh, I agree. It's really fucking ridiculous, though, for the publishers and the owners to be wringing their hands over the "death" of newspapers when, at the same time they're raking in big profits. Instead of slashing your staff, maybe you should be reinvesting in a bigger staff. Instead of shutting down state capitol bureaus, shouldn't you be expanding them?
Maybe, instead of coming up with all these "internet-only" features, you should offer the basic paper online, and make those "special features" PRINT only. Maybe offer special links for subscribers (or a day-pass for regular readers that buy it at the bus stop) that gives them more intricate, in-depth coverage of a boring issue.
BYOB is often placed on an invitation to indicate that the host will not be providing alcohol and that guests are welcome to bring their own. It is also frequently used by regular bars, restaurants, or strip clubs which do not have licenses to serve liquor or alcoholic beverages in general; an alternate term for this is brownbagging.
Another business indicator;
In the past even if they did not get contracts, there was a steady stream of prototype requests going through the model shop. Most did not end up as sales but many did. The model shop guys have been standing around for the last month other than one small job. There still are some ongoing projects, so the rest of the place is busy. I don't know the accounting numbers other than what's been in reports like the SEC 10K, but those collections of numbers always lag quite a long time behind what's actually going on. Maybe this company has made the mistake of basing their financial models on constant growth, which is not likely in the near future.
Terry, regrettably, TCB: Stumpbroke & Steercotted will no doubt reappear, once Obama is President and does something that really pisses off the wingnuts.
My only regret is that I began referring to it as 'Stumpbroke & Steercotted' so late in the game. Had I only known I irritated it so badly, I would have been doing it from the day of its first appearance.
BTW, googling "steercotted", the first hit is one of my comments, here. The first words are:
"Texaschilebean: Stumpbroke & Steercotted..."
I just need the key, and the recall code.

I wrote this in response to the Digby post.Maybe Peggy Noonan could have a discussion with Richard Clarke.
Let's say that in September 2009 there is a terrorist attack in a major city.
Obama has only been in office eight months. Who is responsible for not stopping it? Obama of course (just like Bush was...)
The reason they are working this "kept us safe" story is that THEY are anticipating the attack and preparing the message.
Anticipating events and preparing the message that will be used in those events is part of what people like Noonan do. Their loyalty is to Republicans and NOT to the safety of the entire country. They just want to have a message ready, they don't have to do any actual protecting.
Just like the PNAC, they are anticipating an attack and figuring out how they will use it to seize power. They will use the fear card as they always have.
So what is our counter message?
I think we should start talking about the next attack too and WHY it will happen. So that it will not be about Obama's failure to keep us safe but Bush's success in creating tens of thousands of new terrorists who have reasons to hate us more just because of "our freedoms". They hate us because we killed, tortured or imprisoned them for no good reason.
Also I think we should be prepared to show that contrary to the RW views all the torture and spying did not help stop or capture the people who will be committing this next terror attack. The reason to prepare this is because if they attack under Obama the right will claim it is because Obama stopped warrantless spying or Obama stopped torture or closed Gitmo.
I can hear it now, "If only Obama hadn't closed Gitmo and stopped us from "harsh interrogations" we could have caught these people who (insert terrorist act here)."
The Right will have their message for the next attack. What will our message be?
Or they can just try to rewrite history.

--
Spocko, the heart of the matter is one of the myth of prediction. Statistically speaking, the prediction of terrorism comes up against the baseline error, i.e., it's very nature makes it nearly impossible to predict. Which is why our forebears were spot on when they said giving up liberties will not gain you security.
I think it's time to break the myth of some heroic paternal figure (or force of Xmen or what have you) will create absolute safety. Everyone knows this on a fundamental level. People also know that depriving rights/oppression creates very thing we're trying to avoid.
So far, it sounds like even on the most subtle level, Obama gets this. Yes there can be checks and stopgaps for a certain measure of security, but the equation is not solved by throwing all our resources behind one approach and to the extreme.
Who will be brave enough to re-set the discourse and say it out right?
BTW, they're planning a new reality show: Homeland Security USA.
I'm sure it'll be very informative.
Gitmo exists largely to prolong our total embargo on Cuba, one suspects

Buzz, "Stumpbroke" refers to a farm animal that has been used by a man sexually for so long, when it sees you getting up on the stump (to make the actual act easier) it just naturally moseys on over and gets in position.
"Steercotted" is what's done to a bull to make it a steer, I.E., castrating it.

MALACCA, Malaysia (AFP) – India's top Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan will star in a new movie exploring the issue of Islam in the post 9/11 world and the misperception that all Muslims are terrorists.
"My Name is Khan" tells the story of six people with Muslim surnames who suffer suspicion and prejudice years after the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.
This should be out in about a week.
We used to have over a thousand.

Oh the pathetic narrative of the dour.
Rule 1: Bash people based on making the perfect the enemy of the good.
Rule 2: Be as obtuse as possible when diverse interests are in evidence.
Rule 3: Make inane comparisons and assume the discourse will proceed in the absurd framework you have established.
Rule 4: Pretend your chasing of your own tail isn't the spectacle that it is.
Sir lance is the stupidest troll on the internet, ever.
Also I think we should be prepared to show that contrary to the RW views all the torture and spying did not help stop or capture the people who will be committing this next terror attack.
You might as well as we should prepare to square the circle. I'd like to believe that the majority of people will be capable of making that distinction, but I have my doubts.
Obama's not going to use an attack to launch a pet war on an unrelated country, I don't think. But beyond that, I think we'll see a brutal, stupid overreaction that aggravates the problem. It's built in to the system, for the time being, and Obama can't buck it even if he wants to.
Obviously, I'd be happy to be wrong.
I'm sure it'll be very informative.

I can't wait. It will be very telling as to what "cases" get shown.
Oh the quandry of the producers.
Filter/non-Filter.
That is the question.
Ho Ho Ho's doppelwanger.
I know where I'm doing all my Christmas shopping!
The Puppies all went to a Christmas Party for Shiba Inus. We must assume that a great deal of BoUnCiNg and GOING VERY FAST will take place.
I didn't apply to the Obama Team for a job because I'm only real on the Internets.
Biden is going to be barred from attending Democratic Caucus Meetings, Harry reid has announced.
Talk about your meanin
Oh the pathetic narrative of the dour.

Well then mister smarty pants ZenMouser, please share your wisdom. Why do we only have 59 visitors now when at this same time before we would have a thousand?
I await you answer.
Sir lance has no life.
Filter/non-Filter.
That is the question.

You don't think it'll be a cold, objective exploration of institutional power, a la Frederic Wiseman?
Plantsman - just back from the Penneys at Christown..... Somehow I can stand Christown where all the other malls are disturbing. Other than Uptown Plaza, but that's open.
Sir lance can neither type nor spell.
Does the Bethany West Theatre yet exist?
I await you answer.

Here's your answer:
Who but a belly-button-lint-studying, overbearing, underweaned, tedious & impudent poser gives a flying fcuk?
Also, Buzz, I made the assumption that TCB was actually from/in Texas, where both terms would not be unknown to it. And given its trollish/wingnut personality, I deduced that the description, "Stumpbroke & Steercotted", would irritate it.
Really, the response was far more gratifying than I ever expected.
I await you answer.

Prove that we routinely had a thousand on a Saturday afternoon, and I, for one, will take your question seriously (unless I have something better to do).
Less talk, more stats.
I think I saw David Lean's Dr. Zhivago in a Cinerama Theatre in Scottsdale which name I can no longer recall.

Hey, it's the Bukowski Tour weekend!!
NOW we have an iron-clad REASON for the dearth of Atriots!

Hmmm, I just popped out of the mold the two glass-crete beams I poured last weekend. They look better than I thought they would. They are fairly light. I could easily heft both including the larger of the two which is 12 feet long by 6" square (cross-section) and do not appear to be at all fragile, even though I did not like this particular mix. Now I'm going to make a few fence posts and see if the wind storms can break them. These will be 16' long, with 12' of solid fence to hold up.
I notice Amway no longer calls itself Quixtar.
Hiya, Gromit. Hope it's beautiful and warm down south of the Equator thing.
I asked people here to tell you hi for me should you sign on, but did they? Fat Chance Dep't.
NOW we have an iron-clad REASON for the dearth of Atriots!
And for my presence here.

Give it up plantsman. I remember when you complained about simels using so many sock puppets. You said that you would state your case to Atrois directly and simels and his little crew attacked you.
You gave it up. You did not complain to Atrois like you said you would. You laid down for them and now are a supporter of them.
UNSULLIED SHEETS
Does that fence present a flat face to the wind all 12 feet?
Come to think of it, jack loves Bukowski, so why is he here?
Buzz, "Stumpbroke" refers to a farm animal that has been used by a man sexually for so long, when it sees you getting up on the stump (to make the actual act easier) it just naturally moseys on over and gets in position.
"Steercotted" is what's done to a bull to make it a steer, I.E., castrating it.
Put the two together and you have TCB!
Chris Tucker: GOP Delenda Est!
Good Grief. All I wanted was a soda pop and directions to the nearest town.
I complained to simels himself in the presence of several others here. Twice.
Does that fence present a flat face to the wind all 12 feet?
Yes, and that is part of the plan.
If it hold up to that. I can begin to use it (stress skin foam core glass-crete) as a back yard construction material. for patios and such.
Gromit!
We're supposed to tell you "hi" from David D!
"Sir lance can neither type nor spell."
Really? I wouldn't know. It's been killfiled since its first appearance.
Shame Bukowski didn't live to see that.
There's a bar named after him in Boston.
Obama put the 'ding' in the rama lama ding dong...
"The organizing principle of the Republican party and movement conservatism over the past 8 years, other than pissing off liberals, was rallying in support of and defending whatever the hell George Bush was doing that week."
Swap a few labels around and this is an exact description of your own activity for the past six years.
hat is wrong.
YOU IDIOTS WOULD ALL HAVE ANTHRAX IF IT WASN'T FOR GEORGE BUSH SO DON'T GIVE ME THAT BUSH IS A TERRIBLE PRESIDENT LIE. MARK MY WORDS BUSH WIL BE REMEMBERED AS A GREAT PRESIDENT, WHILE OBAMA WILL BE SEEN AS A FAILURE AND NOT WIN HIS SECOND TERM LIKE BUSH DID.
MY BUTT SMELLS!
6 YEARS LATER IT TURNS OUT THAT SADDAM DIDN'T HAVE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7634313/
AND THAT THE MAIN SUSPECT IN THE ANTHRAX MAILINGS WAS AN AMERICAN WHO KILLED HIMSELF AS THE FBI CLOSED IN!
http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08...eath/ index.html
I THINK MY HEAD JUST EXPLODED!
FALSE ALARM. IT WAS MY BUTT... AGAIN!
they got nothing
