Hee!
called sheets.
From below:
As somebody said earlier this morning, if the Netroots ever become an actual political entity, we'll have three totally useless parties.
Well, yes, if you let the Kossacks run that party.
Rule One of the Netroots: Don't give the Kossacks anything important to do.
You can't fucking park in Boston, period. At least not in the South End.
Don't know if this is a good or a bad thing. Good for the residents, I suppose. Hard to visit them, tho.

Phil Gramm, the senator-banker who until recently advised John McCain's campaign, did get it right about a "nation of whiners," but he misidentified the faint-hearted. It's not the people or even the politicians. It is Wall Street--the financial titans and big-money bankers, the most important investors and worldwide creditors who are scared witless by events. These folks are in full-flight panic and screaming for mercy from Washington, Their cries were answered by the massive federal bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, the endangered mortgage companies.
When the monied interests whined, they made themselves heard by dumping the stocks of these two quasi-public private corporations, threatening to collapse the two financial firms like the investor "run" that wiped out Bear Stearns in March. The real distress of the banks and brokerages and major investors is that they cannot unload the rotten mortgage securities packaged by Fannie Mae and banks sold worldwide. Wall Street's preferred solution: dump the bad paper on the rest of us, the unwitting American taxpayers.

what? anything wrong with Zapette? Le petit Zap is still in her belly, right?
Speaking of the big slurpy blowjob "Netroots Nation" gave La Pelosi this morning, I see it's a topic of conversation at Firedoglake.
However, the proper question isn't "Why Nancy Pelosi Filibustered NRN"... it's "Why Nancy Pelosi Was Allowed To Filibuster NRN".
There wasn't any MSM "filter" or "go-between" here, kids.
Nobody's fault but yours.

Yes, because when presented with an opportunity to directly question the Speaker of the House on all her broken promises and failures over the past two years - failures that have directly resulted in continuing support for a war based on lies and the continued shredding of the constitution - we should make sure above all else to be nice and let the Speaker blather on about whatever pops in to her head and definitely NOT CONFRONT HER.

Rest assured, next time La Pelosi shows up at my party, I will ask her my question.

I'm totally asking her when I see her next.
Decent questions were asked; Nancy, in true pol style, simply danced around them.
Happy weekend everyone.

She's a little freaked out right now, plum. She's been spotting today, and called me in a panic.
She's on her way home right now.
yeah. i don't think the cock question would've been helpful. but maybe something like, 'i'm so disappointed in your performance as my representative that i will not vote for your re-election. how can we get more and better dems?'
I'm pretty sure Pelosi could've been "confronted" in a polite manner--help us understand, Nancy.

Plantsman makes a good point too, though. She wouldn't give a straight answer.

Undercover Maryland state troopers infiltrated three groups advocating peace and protesting the death penalty — attending meetings and sending reports on their activities to U.S. intelligence and military agencies, according to documents released Thursday.
The Maryland ACLU sued last month, claiming the state police refused to release public documents about the surveillance of peace activists.

No, row houses are promoted by progressives as it increases density over the suburban detached house model. sparkle plenty, one parking policy change that can be made re row house development is to not require an excessive amount of parking spaces for the development. Wherever possible, parking in back alleys also should be encouraged.
Wonkette, between ass sex assignments, reminds us of McCraps gambling problem:
We were impressed by Senator McCain’s stamina. It was well past midnight, he was on his feet for several hours (no sitting allowed at the craps table), and he was still going strong. We were also impressed by his large stack of chips. [Hey-oh! -- Ed.] He wasn’t the luckiest roller; when it was his turn to shoot, he “sevened out” after about three rolls of the dice. But the table was generally hot, so he did well betting on other players.
And he hasn’t paid taxes on any of his gambling “earnings” for the past couple years because he hasn’t had time to play craps, or maybe he has just been a loser.

Gore Wows the Netroots Crowd
By Katharine Q. Seelye
AUSTIN — Former Vice President Al Gore surprised a convention of bloggers here, appearing on stage after Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, held a question-and-answer session that included tough questions on the wiretapping bill.
In response to a question about climate change, Mrs. Pelosi glanced at her Blackberry and said she had an e-mail from a friend on the subject. Mr. Gore’s voice then came over the public address system, producing quizzical looks in the audience of nearly 3,000 people and then gasps, cheers and a standing ovation as he strode on stage from the wings.
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.c...netroots-crowd/
Gasp, cheer, stand.

Hey Zap,
Get Zappette off her feet when she makes it home and take good care of her. We are all looking forward to the little Zappy.
What did the doctor say? have no qualms about taking her in if the spotting continues. Better to be safe than sorry. Doctor's play the odds a lot, and sometimes they are wrong. They were in my case.
Wow, that 50 Euro note I found on the street ...
You'll be buying up American companies soon, if there still exist any you'd want.
I think part of idea is that encouraging row houses in DC is not desirable.
Snow
The whole thing confused me. It sounded like the zoning report was from the 50s, saying urban dwellings needed off-street parking -- driveways, parking lots, garages, whatever -- to mimic suburban life.
But if you're trying to promote row houses, don't you have to have policies that permit on-street parking since row houses don't come with land to park? Or are they talking about alley access to back street parking, either individual to housing blocks or or a street block or something.
I'm all for rowhouses, walkability, the whole bit and think lots of folks will go carless or have just one family car for occasional use. But still, where do Atrios and the Greater Greated DC blogger want the cars to go?
.
In downtown Tucson there is almost no place to park but at expensive city lots. The downtown here is and has been a comercial wasteland.

Oh, Tish...
Oh, and he's likely a felon:
I previously blogged the release of John McCain's 2006 and 2007 tax returns. The Daily Kos asks why McCain has not reported any gambling gains on Line 21, or gambling losses on Line 28, Schedule A, of his Form 1040, given widespread press reports that he is a frequent gambler at casinos who wagers thousands of dollars per trip. If the press reports are accurate, it is hard to imagine that McCain would not have won at least $600 on some occasions and received a Form W-G....

Over to the Carshare lot...
Most DC rowhouses have some parking in the alley, however, when a rowhouse has been divided into two or three apartments (and they all have a so-called "English basement"), you need street parking, too. It's usually adequate unless there is a nearby attraction or Metro station--then things get dicey.

All the recipes I see online have the smoking only proceeding until the inside is med-rare,as if the tri-tip were a rib roast. I wanted more of a fully cooked but tender brisket outcome. I'm wondering if that's even possible with this cut, or if it will just come out bone-dry. I cut the extra fat from my pork shoulder roasts into lardoons that I've threaded all thru the tri-tips in the hope thatthat would help them stay juicy with the slow cooking, but I don't know if that will make any difference. Anyhow, kind of a long shot anybody here would happen to have any experience in this highly specific area that I would find enlightening, but what the hell. It's worth a try....
Hilarious.
White House Accidentally E-Mails to Reporters Story That Maliki Supports Obama Iraq Withdrawal Plan
July 19, 2008 1:29 PM
The White House this afternoon accidentally sent to its extensive distribution list a Reuters story headlined "Iraqi PM backs Obama troop exit plan - magazine."
The story relayed how Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told the German magazine Der Spiegel that "he supported prospective U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's proposal that U.S. troops should leave Iraq within 16 months … ‘U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes,'" the prime minister said.
The White House employee had intended to send the article to an internal distribution list, ABC News' Martha Raddatz reports, but hit the wrong button.

That Der Spiegel story was Attaturk's first post of the day here, well before the news sites had it.
OT, why is crack addict Larry Kudlow on CNBC every day for an hour and Paul Krugman is on maybe 10 minutes a month (if that)?
Has the White House put out their Maliki spin yet i.e. he was misquoted/it's a bad translation from German/Arabic?
The game is up once the WH puts the press on its hilarious forwarded jokes email list.

I have one of those cheap Charbroil firebox smokers that looks like a little steam locomotive. It works just great for the pork shoulder butts. Takes about 8 hrs. @250F and comes out perfect. I just have now idea hgow even a heavily larder tri-tip will do under those conditions nor how long I should smoke it to get something brisket-like.

Pretty tough to spin this. George Bush was bleating contentiously that "The American people don't want timetables!" as if what those Iraqis we liberated and electified want means nothing. I was fairly gobsmacked to hear him say that, even being who and what he is.

I've never smoked a tri-tip, but I would do the same thing I did with the pork.
I have a Brinkman smoker that has a water pan. I usually allow for 45 minutes to an hour a pound.
I went looking and found this website. Appears to have a setup similar to your rig.

tru, but larger modern row house developments can have limited access entry to underground parking.
Why is my hosting service so chintzy with the storage memory? I need more than 3 lousy gig - and Fry's'll sell me an 80gig drive for $100.
Now that Ray Metzger isn't dead any more, I need more storage!
Thank you, smarty; you said what I was thinking of but could not verbalize.

I'm sure he's there looking for me and the Prior. He came directly over and sat w us at Eschacon. Had nothing to do w the fact that our table was next to an outlet and he wanted to charge his laptop.

Ah, ESPN. The commentators came back from break with 'The Australian flag, for Greg Norman', to the image of... the New Zealand flag fluttering in the wind.

That would work.

Wow I didn't realize that it would overwinter that far north. It overwinters down here in VA and the bushes get bigger every year. It's great in soups, w poultry or fish. And I bundle the leaves to burn for smudging and burn crushed up leaves on small bits of charcoal.
Too much
I agree - thus my question to the hosting company - howcome I'm paying the equivalent of 3x more a quarter for .003 the storage?
Caulk is better yet.

Too late, but the thing is that after making the holes, I stuffed them thoroughly with pork fat, so they are totally plugged. I've also tied the tri-tips into a disk shape so that half the holes are on the inside. Perhaps I should take the time to sew the ones on the outside shut.....
Caulk sucks in tri-tips.
Would it have been too uncivil if right before Pelosi spoke I called for all those in favor of impeachment to say "Aye!"?

Too funny...
speaking of sage:
I made a nice lentil soup yesterday in our big cast iron pot; a follow-on to last week's 15-bean soup. (yes, I left out the ham packet.)
I have to finish off the cooking and seasoning of the lentil soup today. For a change, I put in quite a bit of sage...it seemed to sweeten it very nicely.
I will warm it up and do the rest of the seasoning and add some fresh celery and carrots.
Half of it goes in the freezer.
Very fair question. I'm sure you may pose it to them.
Then duct tape.
Or of course Bondo is an option. I wonder if Kragen stocks it in mesquite flavor?

I keep mine trimmed back so it doesn't take over my herb bed but I had a friend who had a six foot tall sage plant in the front of his house.

I love those little portable hard drives that hook up to the USB ports. I have two of them. A 100 GB drive and a 250 GB one. I paid about $70 for each of them. I don't use them all of the time but for back up.
I gave one to my son for his computer. He has a Mac with 80 GB of storage. I figured the 100 GB would do him just nicely.
Seriously, no reason to ever lose anything any more.
