PORTLAND, Ore. - A patient treated for agonizing abdominal pain received some surprising news in paperwork issued by an Oregon hospital.
It read: "Based on your visit today, we know you are pregnant." Surprising indeed for 71-year-old John Grady Pippen.
The staff at Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach, Oregon, gave the retired mechanic and logger the ridiculously happy news this month, along with some pain pills.
Hospital administrator William McMillan says an errant keystroke caused the hospital's computer to spit out the wrong discharge instructions for the grandfather.

The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine early each morning. As always, Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores. As lunchtime approached, she would prepare their lunch and carry it to the mine.
One day as she arrived at the mine with lunch, she saw that there had been a terrible cave-in. Tearfully and fearing the worst, Snow White began calling out, hoping against hope that the dwarfs had somehow survived.
"Hello... Hello!" she shouted. "Can anyone hear me? Hello!"
For a long while, there was no answer. Losing hope, Snow White again shouted, "Hello! Is anyone down there?"
Just as she was about to give up, she heard a faint voice from deep within the mine: "Vote for John McCain... Vote for John McCain!"
Snow White fell to her knees exclaiming, "Oh, thank you, God! At least Dopey is still alive."

Sept. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Wachovia Corp.'s suitors may use a template honed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon last week: Wait to see whether regulators will seize the bank, then buy the best assets and let the government sort out the rest, according to analysts.
Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co. and Banco Santander SA are in talks with Wachovia, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday. They're part of the same group that passed on a chance to buy Washington Mutual Inc., which the U.S. closed two days ago, leaving JPMorgan to buy WaMu for $1.9 billion, a fraction of its previous offer in March.
The bidders may try that tactic again at Charlotte, North Carolina-based Wachovia following its 27 percent plunge in New York trading yesterday, according to analysts at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Egan-Jones Ratings Co. They may get help from regulators, who said the U.S. benefited from seizing and selling WaMu because the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. didn't have to tap its $45 billion insurance fund.
``WaMu's takeover has proven that there's an easy way, if the FDIC is involved,'' said Sean Egan, president of Egan-Jones in Haverford, Pennsylvania. ``You kick the hell out of the equity holders and bondholders. That may be the new model for bank takeovers.''
Christina Pretto, a spokeswoman for New York-based Citigroup, declined to comment on the Journal's report, as did Santander's Peter Greiff, spokesman for the Spanish bank, and Wells Fargo's Julia Tunis Bernard in San Francisco. Wachovia's Christy Phillips Brown wouldn't comment on the news accounts or on analysts' reports.

IN an election campaign notable for its surprises, Sarah Palin, the Republican vice- presidential candidate, may be about to spring a new one — the wedding of her pregnant teenage daughter to her ice-hockey-playing fiancé before the November 4 election.
Inside John McCain’s campaign the expectation is growing that there will be a popularity boosting pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, her schoolmate and father of her baby. “It would be fantastic,” said a McCain insider. “You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching. It would shut down the race for a week.”
There is already some urgency to the wedding as Bristol, who is six months pregnant, may not want to walk down the aisle too close to her date of delivery. She turns 18 on October 18, a respectable age for a bride.

The Brits are having their own bailout debate...
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/
ne...id=aJeUXTggqiT0
Sept. 27 (Bloomberg) -- British banks are proposing the government help bail them out of losses from the credit crunch so they can resume lending, said four people with knowledge of the discussions.
Industry executives held talks this week about different options, including the establishment of a so-called bad bank, run by the government. It would take over assets including mortgage-backed securities that declined in value with the collapse of the U.S. subprime home-loan market, said the people, who declined to be identified because the negotiations are confidential.
``The economic downturn is gathering momentum,'' George Magnus, senior economic adviser to UBS AG in London, told Bloomberg Television yesterday. ``The mortgage industry is pretty much dead. The government does have to do something.''

Thanks to CBC, I'm learning all about Maurice "Rocket" Richard.
I was at a rock concert at the Montreal Forum in the early 80s - can't remember whom - and it was announced over the PA that The Rocket was innzahouse. He got a bigger ovation than the band...

camelot -- Do you know anything about the website's "Neigbor to Neighbor" app? Would that be a good option for us red-state dwellers?
neighbor to neighbor is very effective.
depending on what state you are signing in from, it will give you choices of working on GOTV in your state, or a battleground.
The lists you get also help in recruiting phone bankers or drive for change workers, who go to other states.
The goal is to ID OB voters and undecideds, and get the Mcsame voters off the database so we dont keep calling them.
we did 1500 calls from our phone bank in CA to NC this AM.
we also did about 500 calls to folks who may want to volunteer to workl.
The more work done on the phone, the better the targeting for the ground troops.

we had about 20 HS kids who have to do community service and their teacher is a good gal and she thinks working in a campaign qualifies.
someone had the brilliant idea to go to the HS last week.
yes, we are looking for more workers to do calls as we are a branch off of a larger operation that was had enough workers to sustain itself so we are organizing in a portion of that larger Congressional District.
the support seems to be strong in CA. so strong that we have moved beyond working on NV to add other battlegrounds.

I remember watching one of Newman's earlier films on acid. It was some throw-away vehicle for him to look studly, which he did very well. But the cynical shallowness of the movie, exacerbated by my full-blown hallucinatory assessment of it, has remained with me to this day. I wish I could remember what it was. It was absolute crap; I remember that much. Color. Modern. Can't recall much else, but I might if I ever saw it again.

As an Internet company, Google is an active participant in policy debates surrounding information access, technology and energy. Because our company has a great diversity of people and opinions -- Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, all religions and no religion, straight and gay -- we do not generally take a position on issues outside of our field, especially not social issues. So when Proposition 8 appeared on the California ballot, it was an unlikely question for Google to take an official company position on.
However, while there are many objections to this proposition -- further government encroachment on personal lives, ambiguously written text -- it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8. While we respect the strongly-held beliefs that people have on both sides of this argument, we see this fundamentally as an issue of equality. We hope that California voters will vote no on Proposition 8 -- we should not eliminate anyone's fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love.
I missed the debate last night - did Obama smack McNugget around as hard as it sounds like he did?

Obama then jumped in to turn the question on his rival: "What do you think of the [insurance] plan, John?" he asked repeatedly. McCain did not answer.
One Republican in the room said it was clear that the Democrats came into the meeting with a "game plan" aimed at forcing McCain to choose between the administration and House Republicans. "They had taken McCain's request for a meeting and trumped it," said this source.
Congressional aides from both parties were standing in the lobby of the West Wing, unaware of the discord inside the Cabinet room, when McCain emerged alone, shook the hands of the Marines at the door and left. The aides were baffled. The plan had been for a bipartisan appearance before the media, featuring McCain, Obama and at least a firm statement in favor of intervention. Now, one of the leading men was gone.

Not one Newman movie on the movie channels. They don't have the ability to mix up their schedule?
For a while AMC, before its current incarnation, would actually drop everything and commemorate a death with a marathon, then TMC did that.
When was Newman's death announced? I didn't hear about it until this morning. My guess is all the movie channel people with the power to change the schedule were already gone for the weekend by the time it was made public.
Because he's not a braggart. Community service such as his is not to be bragged about; that would be like loudly praying on a street-corner, like GOP hypocrites do. if mcCain wasn't depending so heavily on his POW POW POW bullshit, he might have half a chance. But he doesn't have half the class Obama does.

No but he held his own on the topic of National security. All in all I thought Barack showed that he is an intelligent, thoughtful leader who will use sound judgement as our next president.
My only complaint is that he wasn't tough enough on McCuckoo. When McCuckoo mentions corruption and greed in DC and how he will end it, Barack needs to mention the Keating 5.
When McCuckoo mentions how he supports the veterans, Barack needs to mention how McCuckoo opposed the latest GI Bill because it gave too much to our veterans.

I guess I'd have more enthusiasm for that Post story on "The P3wming of Johnny Maverick" if it weren't for the fact that Pelosi and Reid went right back on their hands and knees and started sucking Republican cock again.
I'm esp. pissed off at this part:
...The rest of the actors poured out of the room still highly agitated. Democrats clustered in the hall between the lobby and the Oval Office, pressing Bachus to explain what had happened to the deal. The Democrats discussed whether to go before the cameras waiting in front of the White House, but Obama refused. Without McCain next to him, he said, he would be skewered for using the White House as a backdrop. As the talk grew louder, Obama asked if they could duck into a room, and back they went to the ornate, windowless Roosevelt Room.
It was then that Paulson gingerly walked in to beg, "Don't blow this up, please." The secretary feared that Democrats would throw their hands up and declare the deal dead.
The crowd erupted in unison, all barking at Paulson that they were not the problem -- he needed to talk to his own party. Under the barrage, Paulson dropped to one knee, clasped his hands in front of his face as if he were praying and joked: "Please, please, don't blow this up. Give me some time."
"Hank," Pelosi replied, "I didn't know you were Catholic."
Why the fuck didn't she crush his motherfucking windpipe with her heel? Shove a whole bunch of non-negotiatble demands up his fucking ass, light a fuse, and throw him back to the Republican MINORITY, along with a note that says "Take it or leave it, you right-wing scumbags"?
Hopefully, the Cubs will trash them in the NLCS.

My favorite part of the debate last night was when Obama had to read the name off of the bracelet he was wearing to show how much he cares abt the troops.
The raison d'etre of his candidacy was to be opposed to the war. Since it is irrelevant what his opinion of a fait accompli is, then it only matters what his subsequent positions are.
Those have been wrong. He has been wrong. Sorry, haters, but we're winning in Iraq.

The Fat Virgin is headed for the minority wilderness for the rest of his useless life.
Obama had about four homeruns in the debate and a few singles. McCain had nothing but disciplined cheap shots. Lots of little singles at best. If you don't hit nothing but singles, you need to get 3 or 4 singles in a row just to score one run. While McCain did hit a lot of singles it was rarely while anyone was on base. Final score Obama 9 McCain 4.

Killed him with kindness. But he got in a few good zingers, too.
I have a funny feeling most of the independents, who overwhelmingly felt that Obama won the debate, were reacting to his poise, and professionalism.
I don't think they appreciated McCain's obvious hostility and contempt. Maybe he's a racist. That attitude won't help him. People despise that attitude in others, and they'll roundly condemn McCain if they percieve it in him.

I've never seen the Democrats call the Republicans unpatriotic, but they are traitors -- the way Nixon interfered with Johnson's negotiations with North Vietnam & Reagan interfered with Carter's negotations with Iran was treason, pure and simple -- they later bragged about how clever they were in undermining the administration -- REPUBLICANS, the administration IS the government, not just when the president is a Republican!

well, that's a very interesting question. exclusively federal criminal defense (white collar and big drug cases) was what i did at my previous job. but my law school work, which was less than 5 years ago, was international, copyright, entertainment, information security, and internet law. i've done a couple of trademark applications, a franchise agreement, and done some research in preparation of a section 1983 case and a civil RICO case.
so, I guess you could say it's a little all over the map, but the truth is: i didn't know a thing about federal criminal before my previous job and i became a principal at the firm within 3 years, so I'm a quick study. (do potential employers take time to find that out? no; they run away at the word "criminal"...)

Reid (D-Nev.), according to three GOP sources familiar with the call.
