Can't even watch that clip, I've come to hate him so much.
I bought this month's Atlantic for the cover story on McCain's war obsession, but I couldn't get past the second page. Which, incidentally is where the author (Jeffery Goldberg) starts talking about McCain's contempt for Obama. It's also where Senator Littleoldman starts talking about "al Qaeda and the Baath party" winning in Iraq.
LEAVE JOHN MCCAIN ALOOOOOONE!
Sheesh! How many times to I have to tell you people?
How does one buy Euros in the States?
Are you doing this online?
A top aide to Senator John McCain said the Republican presidential candidate will not go to Capitol Hill Saturday afternoon, as negotiators meet to work out a deal on the financial bailout plan.
Senior adviser Mark Salter just told reporters outside McCain’s campaign headquarters in Arlington, VA that the Senator will instead continue to make calls to members of Congress.
Salter said he will not go because “he can effectively do what he needs to do by phone. "He’s calling members on both sides, talking to people in the administration, helping out as he can.’’ The campaign said it will release a list of people McCain spoke with later Saturday.

How do you buy Euros in the states?
You can buy them online, but you may have to be customer of that bank. I walked in and did it in person.
Wells Fargo and Bank of America both do this, and probably other banks as well. Check their websites to see which locations have International Banking and currency services. Not all of them will.

kos had it listed for 5:15 but when i checked can't find it on cnn, cspan or obama's website.
Fallows makes an interesting point:
Obama would have pleased his base better if he had fought back more harshly in those 90 minutes -- cutting McCain off, delivering a similarly harsh closing judgment, using comparably hostile body language, and in general acting more like a combative House of Commons debater. Those would have been effective tactics minute by minute.
But Obama either figured out, or instinctively understood, that the real battle was to make himself seem comfortable, reasonable, responsible, well-versed, and in all ways "safe" and non-outsiderish to the audience just making up its mind about him. (And yes, of course, his being a young black man challenging an older white man complicated everything he did and said, which is why his most wittily aggressive debate performance was against another black man, Alan Keyes, in his 2004 Senate race.)
Obama will likely be more assertive in the next debate. In the third, he'll crush McCain verbally. Totally. Utterly.
ohpleaseohpleaseohplease let that be how it happens!

The original S used to get into it with the Ted Smith troll, which is...suggestive.
The receipt that was used in my family:
Take one egg, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and lemon juice, (or
cider vinegar) mix in blender. Melt Castille soap in a double boiler.
Add about a tablespoon or so to the mixture. Blend all the items in the
blender until the mixture is combined well. Add a couple drops of
lavender or rosemary oil to the blender to scent your shampoo- blend
again until the scent is completely mixed with the shampoo. Pour the
mixture into a clean bottle with a lid. Use within a few days - keep cool.
And Hecate and family is more than welcome to camp out at the Casa des los Geckos.

How do you buy Euros in the states?
If you want a Euro bank account to hedge BushCo's wrecking the dollar (as I do), Everbank offers Euro accounts as well as a host of other foreign currencies.
If you want actual Euro folding bills, your local bank branch can probably order them but you'll get a shitty exchange rate unless you live in an international tourist area where currency exchange is a competitive industry.

Sept. 27 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Congress gave final approval to legislation providing the auto industry with $25 billion in loans, lifting an offshore oil-drilling ban and funding the government until the next president takes office.
The legislation, approved by the Senate 78-12, spends $602 billion for the departments of defense, homeland security and veterans affairs. It also funds most of the rest of the government at current levels until March 6. More than $6 billion will be spent on about 2,000 pet projects known as earmarks, according to the Washington-based Taxpayers for Common Sense.

I knew Elias was Econ102. One appeared days after the other left
I think Dole was smarter and in some ways, a better person.
Dole pretty much lost the '76 race for Ford. His performance in the Vice-Presidential debate that year had much in common with Johnny Mav last night, only even more mean-spirited. He was the Republican enforcer, and much too Nixonian for anyone at the time.
The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter.
My "favorite troll" is Sonny Ablaza.
He just comes in and says, "Sean Hannity says Obama is going to lose".
Or "Rush just hit it out of the park. McCain is going to win big".
I suspect he is a parody troll. Every time, he quotes a right wing pundit as an authority.
Whether mimi was one of the Zod's is another good question.
I thought it was a combination of the pardon, freeing Poland and the WIP buttons that did Ford in. Also the fact that he was an idiot.
Gergen is like David Broder's illegitimate son: Same bald head, same Kermit The Frog in as a baritone voice, same Nixon apologism, same undying faith that all will be well if we pretend John McCain is a moderate Republican just like us.

Yup. Always the same pattern.
Start out as a "good citizen".
Then, start to reveal your bad side, but only to a few folks at a time, with the intent of causing conflict amongst the other posters. Recall the arguments about whether Zod was a troll or not, with the folks who had only seen him acting well behaved defending him for months after it had started to become obvious that he was an asshole to much of the rest of the folks here.
Finally, go into full meltdown mode.
Sometimes, a troll personality manages to repeat the same cycle several times, by staying away a few months and letting people forget the previous iteration before coming back in. Incog is the obvious example of that. He must have done it at least three times.

Last week, TPM and other news outlets were looking into whether McCain campaign manager Rick Davis had really cut his ties to the mega-lobby shop, Davis Manafort -- of which he is a part owner. Even though Davis insisted he was no longer drawing any salary from the firm, what David Kurtz and I were wondering was whether Davis had somehow redirected his salary to some other entity from which he could later profit from it or draw it back. Well, it seems Newsweek has finally caught up with Davis's flimflam ...

v=F2p4kohUP3I . New meme: the Obama Socialist Police State has begun! Anyone have more info, either on the immediate story or on the background of the "truth squad" the Rs are freaking out about?
However, I should caution you, the majority of the people registered to vote this year were Democrats.

He's completely lost all semblance of patience with Sarah Palin's campaign-induced "vow of silence".

Now, I'm wondering whether I can pickle green chiles.....
There are so many things I will be curious about election night besides the obvious.
*theft
*the senate and house races
*the number of registered voters
*the number of registered voters that actually voted
The question is will I be sober enough to recognize any information after "Obama wins"
Bill Schneider on Cnn, 'There were a few overnight polls that showed Obama won the debate. However, I should caution you, the majority of the people watching the debate were Democrats.'
How the fuck would he know? He asked every TV viewer in the span of 12 hours their party affiliation?
I'm sorry, but Schneider's claim is pretty goddamned retarded.

It wasn't an interview, but a meeting to go over the project. I'm gettin' the work, if I want it (and I already said I'd be in on it). The details are vague, but if they wanna pay me $250/8hr. day for a few weeks, I'll take it.

One of my favorite digs last night was when Obama responded to McCains attack on the Obama's earlier Pakistani/Bin Laden comment, by reminding everyone that he, at the very least, didn't sing a song about bombing them.

good on you! gotta keep the boyz in kitty treats & you in good beer.
I got my MoveOn.org Obama button today.
.
I was looking for something on Obama's website and found this FAQ list. These are, I gather, the most common questions the campaign gets:
Summary
1 What is the Answer Center and how does it work?
2 How can I get more information about an Obama event?
3 How can I work for the campaign?
4 How can I email the campaign?
5 Is Senator Obama a Christian?
6 How can I find out more about Senator Obama's position on women's issues?
7 When will you open a campaign office for my area?
8 I received an email that said Senator Obama refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance or sing the National Anthem. Is that true?
9 I want to comment on something. How can I send my comments to you?
10 How can I volunteer for the campaign?
There is a whole lot of stupid in the elecorate. Though I guess it's a good sign if people are asking the campaign and not just saying "My brother-in-law told me...."

Most excellent.
I shall go buy another sack of Hatch chiles. This is as good as freezing them.
Pickled Green Chile These chile strips are great on sandwiches or when chopped and mixed with salads such as tuna or shrimp. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
½ cup white vinegar
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dill seed
1/2 teaspoon mustard seed
8 to 10 green New Mexico chiles, roasted and peeled, cut in strips (see chapter 2 for roasting and peeling instructions)
3 cloves garlic, cut in slivers
Combine the vinegar, sugar, and spices in a pan and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Put the chile into small, sterilized jars, cover with the liquid and add some garlic to each jar. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 3 days before using. Yield: 2 pints Heat Scale: Medium.
There's a Click & Clack cartoon...?!

Tell me again why I should participate in online polls?
UPDATEWhen asked by the Washington Post whether McCain "will be able to spin the idea that he swooped in and saved the bailout bill," House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) replied:
It depends on whether you guys get fooled or not and write that [bleep]. ... Before McCain came in, we thought we were working. McCain comes in, it gets screwed up, now McCain leaves -- I dunno, it's like Jimmy Piersall.

Truth is the majority of people who pay attention to what is going on with the country and the world are Democrats. That's why they're Democrats.

All of you clear liquor drinkers:
Preserving Peppers in Alcohol Another method of "pickling" chiles is to preserve them in liquor. This method has several advantages to it, including the fact that the process can be completed without using the stove. Also, alcohol tends to change the chiles less than vinegar Simply cut or poke a hole in each chile and cover with your preferred liquor. Vodka, gin, vermouth, and rum all produce tasty results. Not only does this process preserve chiles, it also produces some very interesting drinks!

They sound most excellent. I guess it is time to go to Central Market and buy some Hatches. Stayed out of Austin this weekend as ACL-Fest has taken over the city AND UT is playing.

According to wiki, Jimmy Piersall was an MLB player whose increasingly bizarre antics led the team physician to have him committed.
He once stepped up to bat wearing a Beatles wig and playing "air guitar" on his bat, led cheers for himself in the outfield during breaks in play, and "talked" to Babe Ruth behind the center field monuments at Yankee Stadium. In his autobiography, Piersall commented, "Probably the best thing that ever happened to me was going nuts. Whoever heard of Jimmy Piersall, until that happened?"

Next, we'll be told that McCain won, according to those who didn't watch or listen to the debate.

A condition of the bailout should be Paulson's resignation and the new president appoints the interim or replacement
It is always difficult to debate with a pathological lie. Fuck McCain.

I hope you are better soon. Surgery isn't fun even when they give unlimited morphine.

Nothing to it - I think it was about four pint containers of raspberries for a 66 ouncer of vodka. I let it sit from raspberry season to almost Christmas. Add sugar to taste - you want enough to bring out the flavour but you don't want it sweet. You probably don't need to let it sit that long.
hellkitty, it wasn't much of a big deal.

Thanks Finny

GWPDA-- you think that'll work with my jalepenos and the sweet hot peppers I've got?
Absolutely. It's a pretty neutral vinaigre bath and depending on the amount of sweetening you add, it should modify the excess heat. Make sure to process it properly, and do use new caps on the jars.

Really? I saw the debate and didn't think angry was McCain's defining adjective. Erratic, unaware, maybe. But then again Obama, the purported expert on the economy (really? how so?), didn't show me much either.
Reading this blog has become such a disappointment recently. Atrios's "dry wit" annoys me.

Well, Carl, feel free to not come back for another visit.
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
Tell me again why I should participate in online polls?
smalfish
To screw them up.
All polling by the media is push polling. All of it.
Shotgun weddings on national TV, how family values can you get.
Just when you think the McCain campaign can't get any more cynical and that the media whores won't lap it up.
On November 4th the American people will deem John McCain irrelevant as they will vote for Barack Obama in swarms which will lead to an OBAMA/BIDEN landslide victory!
I'm Uncle Fester Lurks and I approve of this message.
Palin gone before Nov 4 is at 8.5% on Intrade.
One eyed Nostradamus imitation: by Oct 1, it will be at 85%.
Romney to the rescue, or not.
Palin gone before Nov 4 is at 8.5% on Intrade.
One eyed Nostradamus imitation: by Oct 1, it will be at 85%.
I am inclined to say it's not gonna happen.
Palin was selected for purely cynical political reasons: to bring in the loons.
No matter how horrible she looks to independents (and the polling is pretty clear on that by now), McCain cannot afford to dump Palin in favor of someone more qualified. He'd probably lose even more of the crazies by dumping her, than he picked up by choosing her.
Dumping Palin from the ticket would be the right thing for the country, for the Republicans, and for the planet. But it would hurt John McCain's chances of winning, and that's why it probably won't happen.
C.R.E.E.P.
Hm. Seems to me that video could just as easily be something the Republicans would think shows McCain beating the crap out of Obama.
Doesn't look angry to me.
If you're policy is something where "you don't say that out loud," you DEFINITELY don't say out loud that you don't say that out loud.
