Beautiful fall day here
You and Joe Klein could go kicking leaf piles and such

happily, our phone bank ends at 430 today, and I can go home and watch the sox tie the series.
sorry, leibniz.
a triple is good, too.
5-4, bitches.
Nope
all of these voter registration and voter fraud and disenfranchisement issue could be solved very simply. at least on the presidential level.
just ask me who should win. i think i'm capable of picking the best candidate.
deadthreaded because I loved the image of Wolf Blitzer after three days...
Voting could take place over a three day period. There's more people now than when George Washington bribed the voters with free whiskey.

Can you imagine how hysterical the talkingheads would be by the end of three days, especially if they had to wait until the close of voting to make a prediction?

Enjoy the weekend = drive to Jersey to buy wine?
the way the AIG/LA transit deal is described in the article makes it appear that all risk and all costs were on the public. The "investors" got a 100% guarantee of money back plus a tax limited solid revenue stream. AIG got a bunch of fees and, apparently, no penalty if they defaulted.
Go. Enjoy. We'll be fine. I'm on the road today too actually, and not looking forward to it.

only if no exit polling data was released until the last poll closed.

Some people never grow up:
A 33-year-old woman accused of stealing her daughter's identity to attend high school and join the cheerleading squad has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Wendy Brown faces a felony identity theft charge after enrolling in a Wisconsin high school as her 15-year-old daughter, who lives in Nevada with Brown's mother.
According to a federal complaint, Brown attended one day of classes, practiced with the cheerleading squad and went to a party at the coach's house.
Brown also faces theft and forgery charges from an unrelated case, where she is accused of collecting money for an apartment she didn't have authority to rent.
She could face up to nearly 13 years in prison if convicted of all charges.

If anything can awake astonishment, and inflame our gratitude, it must be that mystery of love, God manifested in our nature, and made man, to bleed and die for our salvation. That He should condescend to be sold for thirty shekels of silver, that is, for three pounds fifteen shillings of our money; to be apprehended and condemned as a malefactor; to be crowned with piercing thorns; to be scourged at the bloody pillar; to bear His cross; to be numbered with transgressors; to be reviled by ruffian soldiers, and a merciless populace; to be torn with tormenting nails; and pierced with a hostile spear; and suspended on the ignominious tree, between heaven and earth, as unworthy of either, though He was the maker and preserver of both. What thought can reach, what tongue can tell, the infinite riches of His love to man, that induced Him freely to undergo all this, only to make him happy! Nay, He not only freely underwent it, but even longed for the time of His crucifixion to come — “I have a baptism, says He, a baptism of sufferings to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished?”
If the goopers are accusing ACORN of signing up voters so they can vote multiple times, then you can be SURE that is what goopers are doing.

The idea that a voter with knowledge of what already exists is being unfairly influenced thereby is a little odd to me.
I'm going to vote for Obama. If before I go vote I hear that McCain is leading in AZ, the choice of weather to go vote anyway or not still belongs to me. I find it patronizing in the extreme that I must be protected from knowledge of what is happening lest i be "influenced".

Rumor has it you passed the vaunted MN bar, yes?
I have the feeling that all these claims of voter fraud are at least going to accomplish one thing.
There will be no complacency on November 4th. This will energize every voter who remembers the last two elections and all the newly registered voters to get out and cast their ballot.
Simply because we know they are trying to steal it again...
Not this time.
Yeah... I'm taking just a brief break from "enjoying" my weekend too. But soon I'll go back to "enjoying" cleaning the garage, mowing the yard, running errands...

AP bloviates on Obama Presidency
http://ap.google.com/article/ALe...Ycw-
AQD93SVH8O0
If Elected ... How would a President Obama govern?
By JENNIFER LOVEN
a new White House under Democrat Obama would operate much like the current one under President Bush.
Think discipline, efficiency and secrecy. These are hallmarks of Obama's campaign, just as they have been for the last eight years in the leak-proof, tightly managed Bush administration.
Aides are expected to be both tightlipped and tight-knit. They get a "no drama" speech upon hire. And even if that rule is violated, histrionic disagreements over strategy, policy or personality are expected to stay behind closed doors, and they actually do. Most events come off like clockwork.
Obama's style as a candidate predicts a CEO-style president, one who delegates rather than micromanages.
It's the same model as for Bush, the nation's first MBA president. It derives in part from something the two men have in common: natural political gifts that set them on a path to the White House that took shortcuts around much government experience. That means policy experts are needed for heavy lifting.
Obama, like Bush, relies most on a small, hard-to-penetrate inner circle. It's been a successful formula, but can irk power players in his party and in Congress, who sometimes see Team Obama as too insular.
Regardless, Zelizer said, Obama will need to guard against abandoning his natural caution to launch a spree of legislative action right off the bat. Going too far to please Democrats excited about finally being in control again of both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue could risk a backlash from the public, he said.
In all these things, Obama has reached big. That means he would need to spend a fair amount of time early on building bridges to Capitol Hill. Working with a Congress controlled by his own party doesn't guarantee he'd easily get what he wants.
so don't lose respect for me when I say I have to tread lightly in certain areas...
Not at all.
Play it safe then and go as Garrison Keillor.
Or Warren Burger, perhaps?
One thing Obama has not done as a candidate is spend money he did not have foolishly, AP.

Twenty-four hours, the Drive-By Media can unearth everything there is about Joe the Plumber. In two years we can't even get them interested in finding out who the real Obama is. In all these years, they have no interest with all this controversy about Bill Ayers, they have no desire to talk to him. They're not camping outside Bill Ayers' door and demanding he conduct a press conference and answer inquisitive, threatening, intimidating questions. So the die is cast, ladies and gentlemen.

Have a great time. If you want to get off the tourist path, I recommend the area between the Les Sablons metro stop and the Seine for dinner, and the Basin area (Stalingrad metro) for a nice walk.
There's a great old traditional couscous place in Montparnasse, "Chez Beber."
And Montmartre is touristy, but still very atmospheric, especially in the morning.
Chris, that sounds to be a wonderfully elitist fun day!
BTW, just in case you don't believe there's a massive Conservative crack-up going on --
The other day Limbaugh announced that Fox News had joined the Media Elite. Apparently, the fact that their Roundtable had allowed how Obama did alright in the 3rd debate was a sign that they had sold out to the Dark Side.
Just a drive-by because it's time for me to do some grocery shopping. I do have some interesting news, however:
John McCain palled around with terrorists!!!!, although you wouldn't have learned that from our liberal press.
Trailer Trash?
Some of my best friends make their homes in trailers" Good, hard-working, level-headed people who chose not to dive into subprime mortgages to buy over-priced homes.
Pukechanan can't believe Colin Powell would go on MTP and NOT endorse Obama.
Head of the Charles was the weekend when Harvard Sq was overrun and it was a pain in the ass getting in to the old Crimson Sports Grill to watch the college gridiron games
It sounds like they fucked up Tom Brady's knee surgery.

Close to a third of all 18-24 year olds do not have a landline. Pollsters are seriously beginning to be concerned that their presidential preference (Obama by a landslide) is being undercounted. Mark Blumental wrote a column in the National Journal looking at this issue and concluded that Obama's strength is probably being underestimated by 2-3% as a result of this effect.

Communism has failed everywhere it has been tried. We have nearly 100 years and 100 million corpses as proof.
The only people who believe otherwise are certain American liberals – because they are the most ignorant people on the planet, and because they have never had to live under it.
But never have the communists felt closer to achieving their goal than they are now.
Make no mistake, they are waiting behind Barack Obama, panting and slavering at the prospect of taking over every branch of government, systematically dismantling the economic system that has provided our country with unprecedented prosperity and dissolving the procedural protections that have insulated us from the oppression, starvation, despair, and death that has accompanied communism and every other form of tyranny.

Some early W.Va. voters angry over switched votes
Jackson County touch-screens switched votes, 3 residents say
By Paul J. Nyden
Staff writer
At least three early voters in Jackson County had a hard time voting for candidates they want to win.
Virginia Matheney and Calvin Thomas said touch-screen machines in the county clerk's office in Ripley kept switching their votes from Democratic to Republican candidates.
"When I touched the screen for Barack Obama, the check mark moved from his box to the box indicating a vote for John McCain," said Matheney, who lives in Kenna.

We gave up our landlines here over two years ago, there really was no need to have one with highspeed wireless and cells.
Haven't got one call from pollsters, nor do we ever get sales calls.
Plus the phone companies here in Northern Arizona really suck.
Make no mistake, they are waiting behind Barack Obama, panting and slavering
I don't think he's really talking about the Communists--whoever the fuck they are, anymore--do you?
But never have the communists felt closer to achieving their goal than they are now.
These people have officially gone stark, raving mad.

From 538.com:
So a canvasser goes to a woman's door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she's planning to vote for. She isn't sure, has to ask her husband who she's voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, "We're votin' for the n***er!"
Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the n***er."
I guess we should be glad that Obama's going to get their votes...

what was the scoop on that Klan-like rally you were describing from CNN yesterday? I never saw any mention of it anywhere...

it was part of a report on anger among mccain supporters (really, as far as i can see, it is among PALIN supporters - mccain seems uncomfortably carried in the tide)
a bunch of small stories rather than a single klan rally. the first was a bunch of palin supporters going into the venue in western pa where she was speaking - one carrying a monkey doll with an obama label, one shouted "why don't you kill another baby, you bastard", another angrily yelling out something about "barack mohammed hussein obama" - a lot of general nastiness.
second story was clips of a halloween ghost decoration hanging from a noose with an obama bumper sticker plastered on it, along with a yellow star of david and "hussein" written across it.
third story was the "obama dollar" sent out by the leader of a republican women's group in ca - $10 in obama food stamps, a caricature of obama surrounded by pics of a bucket of chicken, a koolaid pitcher, a watermelon and a rack of ribs. cnn interviewed the woman's husband and daughter, shown today - they are pretty disgusting. q: what does the bucket of chicken mean? husband a: what does spaghetti and meatballs mean?
there was more, but you get the drift.

This is probably why I get so many letters from AT&T. The trend aint gonna turn around, either. Kids today that have had their oen phone since they were 7 aren't gonna see the sense in a landline when they move away from home.

These elitist comments on this thread are disgusting. Only Michelle Bachman has the courage and the foresight to bring back and chair HUAC, which will truly purge this great country of the undesirable scum and left wing radical element which wishes our nation harm.

cnn transcripts:
This is from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, when Sarah Palin was there last weekend. I'm going to let you look at this for yourself without any commentary. We will talk about it on the back side. Here it is.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Obama, Osama, friends and one and the same.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Obama bin Laden (INAUDIBLE) Muslim president.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If he gets in office, he is going to have a lot of cross-section of America in his Cabinet. It's going to be Al Sharpton, Reverend Wright, Jesse Jackson.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We will vote for who we want. This is not an Oprah show.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Obama is socialist.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) a socialist.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE) commies.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Who are the terrorists?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: They are the terrorists, Ayers, Obama- Ayers, connection. What more do you have to say?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is little Hussein. Little Hussein (INAUDIBLE) truth and good Americans.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Pro-life. Pro-life.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hussein Mohammed Obama.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Obama bin Laden.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Osama bin Laden.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE) Hussein.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE) Kill some more babies, you bastard!
Speaking of phones. I've only recently discovered that I could keep my DSL service without paying for a landline that I never use (AT&T). That'll save me $32 per month.
That rhetoric could have been lifted straight out of the Beer Hall Putsch days of the Nazi party.

And living under a Communist-directed government, I can tell ya that Team GDumbya fits that model much closer than Obama.
Who's the one spying on Americans illegaly? Who's the one telling the Secret Service to keep the press under proper control?
More Wingnuttiness. Dated October 17th - hot off the press.

Obama Couldn't Be Cleared
Posted by George H. Wittman on 10.17.08
Considering Barack Obama as a candidate for a top secret security clearance status with a full array of compartmented clearances, one has to be cognizant of the fact that there is considerable evidence of associations and even assistance from individuals with past criminal records or who have expressed anti-American beliefs. Obviously admitted domestic terrorists William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn, as well as recently convicted felon, Antoin "Tony" Rezko, fall into this category.
There is no possibility that a Top Secret clearance would be awarded to a member of the Armed Forces whose background included such associations. An intelligence service clearance for the handling of highly classified material would be totally out of the question.
Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the n***er."
I'm getting the feeling my younger sis is not "voting for the nigger". Though she has a pile of other excuses, that's what it is. "Arrogant" my ass. "Much s I dislike McCain/Palin, I like Obama even less". "Lesser of 2 evils". Yeah, I get the idea, sis...
The Bible, in its entirety, has no mistakes. It is flawless because God wrote it--and He is flawless. It is not only infallible in total, but also inerrant in its parts. Proverbs 30:5-6 says, "Every word of God is tested. . . . Do not add to His words or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar." Every word of God is pure and true. The Bible is the only book that never makes a mistake--everything it says is the truth.

Obama Couldn't Be Cleared
His security clearance will be decided November 4. End of story.
more from the same cnn transcript:
SANCHEZ: Hey, welcome back. I'm Rick Sanchez here in the world headquarters of CNN, a lot of stories that we're trying to bring you at this hour. First of all, let's try and bring you up to date on this situation that we have been talking about the -- well, xenophobia may be the best way to describe it, because there is now also an investigation in Clayton County, Georgia. This is an area just outside of Atlanta where we understand that local residents and Obama supporters have been receiving hate mail, to the point where the Secret Service has now been called in and is investigating.
We are being joined on the phone now by Mike Brooks. He is our security analyst and law enforcement expert. Mike, I know you have looked into this somewhat. How prevalent is this in this area?
MIKE BROOKS, CNN SECURITY ANALYST: Well, Rick, we really haven't had too much of this happen.
But right around the same time as these letters that we're showing right now in my neighborhood, here in Kirkwood, in the city of Atlanta, there were also some racist letters distributed in mailboxes, on the street, put on people's cars.
And to just kind of give you a flavor of the letters we had, now, they did not target any Barack Obama or any gays or Asian. It was all basically against African-Americans. And here is just the first line and last line of this letter, Rick, to kind of give you a flavor.
It says: "To the" -- and then it is the N-word -- Rick, that keep breaking into all the honest people's homes that actually work for a living here in Kirkwood, F off." And then there is some more vile and it goes -- there's some really nasty stuff. And then the last paragraph is very disturbing.
It says: "The next time you come into my yard or walk down my street, I will be taking aim, shooting and asking questions later, not that anyone would miss you. I do have a few shallow graves that need filling."
Now, I can tell you that the Atlanta Police Department and particularly (INAUDIBLE) who I was out with last weekend looking to try to find out the source of these letters in our community, they are taking this very seriously and looking at this as a possible hate crime, and so that it is under investigation right now.
"We're voting for the n***er."
Obama should issue a yard sign saying this.

I think that means she is a practitioner, not an academic with a shirt-tail affiliation.
It's used to pump up faculty numbers at the school without the school having to pay for the faculty position.
""Much s I dislike McCain/Palin, I like Obama even less". "Lesser of 2 evils". Yeah, I get the idea, sis..."
we must be related.
my family... I'd point out the latest outrage by the repigs and they'd say "and you don't think the democrats do that too?"
pointing out that yes i DO think President Gore would have done better used to get me laughed at.
the best I could do was to get an admission that there are "extremists on both sides". the fact that they couldn't point out the democratic extremists was nothing to them.
since there are "extremists on both sides", why not vote repig??
Oy...

Umm, no. Did the bible just appear one day under the burning bush?
The bible was written by men. men who sought to control the populace by frightening them with the threat of eternal damnation if they didn't do what they wanted.

Exactly.
In December 2006, Lewinsky graduated with a master's degree in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics[12] where she had been studying since September 2005.[13] Her thesis was titled “In Search of the Impartial Juror: An exploration of the third person effect and pre-trial publicity.”
Doesn't sound like trash to me.
"The bible was written by men. men who sought to control the populace by frightening them with the threat of eternal damnation if they didn't do what they wanted."
arguing with a troll is probably a waste of time.
arguing with a troll for god, doubly so.
fundies love to be abused for their faith. they can go to church and tell people they were abused for their faith and get a lot of positive feedback for it.
you're making him happy. just wanted you to be aware of that.
Indian summer, that enchanted time, unfolded it golden, dreamy haze over the Delaware village. The forest blazed with autumn fire, the meadows bloomed in rich luxuriance. All day low down in the valleys hung a purple smoke which changed, as the cool evening shades crept out of the woodland, into a cloud of white mist. All day the asters along the brooks lifted golden-brown faces to the sun as if to catch the waning warmth of his smile. All day the plains and forest lay in melancholy repose. The sad swish of the west wind over the tall grass told that he was slowly dying away before the enemy, the north wind. The sound of dropping nuts was heard under the motionless trees. Z.G.
Anyone ever figure out why that nut in GA blew up that law office?
Uh, and you don't enjoy us? We don't entertain you? We've failed you in some basic way?
