You can check the thread. He just laced into annie and me for no apparent reason, other than him not liking the fact that we were posting music. Meanwhile there's nobody there.. So, he called annie "Trannie", and me a "troll", for objecting to his attack...And I tried to be civil..I usually do..

Thanks Molly, the thread below was so infested, it crashed my computer anyway.
But I got in some licks against Hiatt at WaPo advising Obama to follow the WH in making the entire onus of the meltdown produced by our financial sector criminals - wreck UAW. of course, he did.
Weather guys talking bout another 4-8" tonight, with blizzard conditions.
Oh, yippee!!!
I hear you Uncle!
Blizzard warnings in Minnesota with up to 12" of snow in some areas and -40 windchill headed our way.
Annie and Duannev still trolls., new sheets or not.
Yeah, someone here mentioned Alf, and it brought back memories. Something about Alf eating cats, if I recall...
No. More. Snow. Please.

You recall correctly. Just like in China.
Something about Alf eating cats, if I recall...
'Tis true, Alf loved eating cats (on his home planet anyway).
My late Son loved Alf.
He does indeed eat cats.
My brother and SIL collect Alf memorabilia. Honestly. It's a little weird.

WaPo is a masterpiece today, also has McAyn,Lie-berman and Graham telling Obama to stay the course, and indicating we are the resident gov't and maintaining the insurgency. They're so crazy I didn't bother to try countering with rational thought.
It's been snowing here,
up in the Mountains, but not on the valley floors.
I've seen three valley floor snow storms in this state. The snow is nice. Dealing with the drivers here is not.
Windchill isn't bad if you dress properly for it. Gore-Tex is a safe bet for outerwear.
Properly layering your base clothing makes huge differences.
This is our forecast.
annie
Your forcast is death.
Get used to it.
My late Son loved Alf.
Barndog
I didn't know you had a late son. I'm sorry. I couldn't imagine.

Christ that's heavy. You are not one to joke about such things, BD.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Hate me if you like but today here its warm, yesterday hit the 70's, tonight it will be in the 20's. I went out to check my little garden, and some one had taken off with the heavyweight plastic sheet I had over it, serving as a greenhouse. Everything survived the last deep freeze, so it must just have happened. I know we have some camping out types in the woods nearby, so expect the greenhouse went on to higher purposes. Will deck it all with lighter weight plastic sheeting for the next two days, when it will freeze intensely.
Sadly, the homeless need stuff anyway, and are welcome to it.
BD, don't let duane and annie fool ya, they are sucking up data trolls.
I really don't get all giddy and shit over holidays anymore.
Barndog, not feeling bad
Yeah, that's understandable. Me and my ex separated a year ago this January. She has the kids. I was their primary caregiver, and this is our first Christmas apart..Probably the reason why I'm posting all night lately...
Barndog, I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your son.
Ok, I'm out of here, this is insane. Leave Duane alone, ok? I'm leaving.

Same here...
Someone has a weird obsession with other commenters.
So, in the mornings when the big cats have been outside overnight, the little cat is very cute about telling me that they need to come in. And he was just beside the sliding glass door doing his little singing routine, but all the cats are in.
There are some kind of animal footprints on the screen; something heavy enough to have left a sandy footprint not only on the screen but on the glass underneath. Can't tell if it's a dog or a BIG CAT.
Hmmmmm. Little guy is quite excited about it.
Hate me if you like but today here its warm, yesterday hit the 70's, tonight it will be in the 20's.

MP, people are angry about the crimes committed by the Bushites, just not enough. Seriously though we have to blame congress. They've allowed this to happen.
The sad fact is government is like a private club where they protect one another. We will probably hear Obama, Biden, Reid and Pelosi tell us that we need to move on and forget the past.
See for congress to go after the Bush administration, they would expose themselves as enablers to all of the crimes that have been committed and they aren't going to ever do that!
Yup. Will be boarding a bus to Seattle early this morning. The weather should be moderating after a few days. A week of weather between -8° and 20° with two solid days of heavy winds and snow have cured me of any dreams of living in rural America. Or of returning here for Xmas ever again.

Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- President-elect Barack Obama’s Cabinet is notable for its diversity, experience in government, and absence of people from the business community.
Obama, who campaigned as an advocate for Main Street against the influence of lobbyists and special interests, hasn’t staffed his Cabinet with a single person who has executive business experience. The depth of executive mostly rests with those who ran states: three current and former governors.
“It is a void that the folks that the president-elect has selected seem to be overly biased toward government service or regulatory activities,” said Peter Morici, a business professor at the University of Maryland.

Well, here's a bit of good news from the Sacramento Bee:
The California attorney general has changed his position on the state's new same-sex marriage ban and is now urging the state Supreme Court to void Proposition 8.
In a dramatic reversal, Attorney General Jerry Brown filed a legal brief saying the measure that amended the California Constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman is itself unconstitutional because it deprives a minority group of a fundamental right. Earlier, Brown had said he would defend the ballot measure against legal challenges from gay marriage supporters.
But Brown said he reached a different conclusion "upon further reflection and a deeper probing into all the aspects of our Constitution.
Brown's changing his mind is a big deal on this issue because it puts the weight of the state squarely behind the Prop 8 opponent's case.
Just as I was thinking this, I opened the blue stall door and BAM it hit me. A stench of death and horror like I had never before encountered. And sitting, politely, on the back shelf of the toilet -- not the bowl, mind you, or anywhere near the bowl, but that part that's right behind your upper back or neck when you sit down -- there, sitting complacently, was a huge, neatly placed, solitary turd.

I have had a small pea-sized hemorrhoid on the outside. I suspect, but I don't know, that I have some on the inside. I don't have pain anywhere on my colon when the doctor presses, but I find myself gassy overall, though not all the time.
Years ago, I used to consume a meal and then anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour later end up with cramps and diarrhea. There were times I would have to literally pull off the freeway, jump the guardrail, and poop on the side of the freeway -- or poop in my pants.
Hey, I was just going to post that Prop. 8 story!
Here's more from Brown:
...in a lengthy filing late Friday, he argued that the constitutional amendment was "inconsistent with the guarantees of individual liberty" in California's governing charter.
"Proposition 8 must be invalidated because the amendment process cannot be used to extinguish fundamental constitutional rights without compelling justification," Brown said.
The authors of the state Constitution, he said, did not intend "to put a group's right to enjoy liberty to a popular vote."
The position of the attorney general, the state's top lawyer, ordinarily carries considerable weight with the court. Brown's office was on the losing side, however, when the court overturned California's previous ban on same-sex marriage in May.
Asked about his change of position, Brown said Friday evening that since his initial comments the day after the election, he and senior lawyers in his office had looked closely at the court's precedents and at the recent marriage ruling and concluded they couldn't defend Prop. 8.
"We have a conflict between the amendment power (through voter initiatives) and the duty of the Supreme Court to protect minorities and safeguard liberty," Brown said.
Fundamental rights in the state Constitution, including the right to marry that the state's high court has recognized, "become a dead letter if they can just be amended" by popular vote, Brown said.

I tried the high-fiber intake. That would bulk them up almost to a point of a perfect cylinder, or a round poop like they used to be years ago. I have suffered from this for three or so years and am now about forty-eight hours from a colonoscopy. And I'm very, very scared they will find cancer or something else.
I don't suffer from pain during a bowel movement, I don't have blood (either fresh or old -- no black stools or coffee grounds), and my fecal occult test was negative for hidden blood. My poop is historically medium-to-light brown and at times has the smell of gastric juices, almost as if my food passes too fast through my system.
What a loser,
I'm willing to forgive Obama many things because of his cabinet picks so far. They seem to be very competent and determined to make government work for the good of the people. Quite a change.

I've been entertaining this wild thought, that the current cold winter is in some way the planet trying to cool itself and restore equilibrium -- now I know that imputing "thought" and action to the planet is nuts, but some tale-weaver keeps working on it.
Budget cuts force VU to close ethics center
"Vanderbilt administration elected to close the Center for Ethics at the end of this year as part of its budget cuts, showing that even universities are not immune to the recent economic downturn."
Because as everyone knows, in times of economic distress one doesn't NEED ethics ...
Remember, I was fifty feet up on a pinnacle of horizontal granite, watching all this happen far below; and yet the thick, foul stench hit me within seconds, and I nearly teetered off into space. A couple counselors down below stared in disbelief as the crapwave poured on for a couple of minutes.

Smitty's crapsplats were absolutely CRAWLING with flies no more than five minutes later. Literally tens of thousands of big, iridescent green blowflies.
And they followed him all the way down the mountain, swarming over his ass and legs. With no facilities for miles around, Smitty had to hike four miles in shit-soaked shorts to even get a basic clean-up in the latrine, and wait two more days to get back to camp for a shower.

Oil Rich? Fuck them all:
LONDON -- Plummeting oil prices have rattled the energy industry, leading oil-rich nations and energy companies to cut production and investment in an effort to stop the slide.
Oil prices hit a more than 4½-year low this week, falling 77% in the past five months. On Friday, crude oil for January delivery fell $2.35, or 6.5%, to $33.87 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil producers who were enjoying record-setting revenue earlier this year are re-examining projects that now are of questionable value. Moreover, recent reports indicate that oil consumption in Europe and the U.S. appears likely to level off for the foreseeable future.
This was the backdrop of a meeting Friday of oil-producing countries and consumers in London. Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi, perhaps the most influential voice in the oil industry, gave a gloomy assessment, saying tumbling oil prices were "wreaking havoc on the industry." Current and planned investments were under threat, he said, potentially crimping global supplies that could lead to future oil price increases when demand recovers.
"Reprioritization is the buzzword," said Daniel Yergin, chairman of energy consultants Cambridge Energy Research Associates, in an interview. "If you look at the high-cost projects, many of them are on hold."
Nearly across the board, oil companies have begun cutting spending. A survey by Barclays Capital found 2009 capital budgets were 12% lower than 2008 spending plans, and some believe they might head lower. Budgets in the U.S. and Canada are being cut the most, as projects in the high-cost oil-sands and unconventional natural-gas fields now make less economic sense. Companies such as Chevron Corp. and ConocoPhillips have delayed announcing budgets to spend more time assessing the market.
less than a year after RECORD profits; the short-term fucking shitty business model MBA assholes, will divert into another fuck you investment. teh fear markets are soo sweet and good for people in general.
Barry, Duane is no troll. Neither is this annie as far as I can figure out.
How's Heidi doing? Heard she had a set back.

Hidey is punky tonight, she doesn't like the vincristine drug, hell, people Humans don't either. Its nasty thing.
This annie and DuaneV play off each ther to make them seem bona fide.

Meanwhile, the cat is.. recovering.
I really wish we could somehow erase the term "Global Warming" and replace it with "Climate Change" or something else that is more easily understood by people.
I love Sadly No.

I yanked down my pants and collided to the throne to spray the hot lava. Now one good push and -- "Eooowwwwwww!!!!!"
The liquid fire was not forced out as expected, but instead took the form of a giant bucking steer stretching my lasso to the breaking point.
In one massive push, he burst upon the rodeo, fighting my sphincter. As I slid down its back, his nostrils puffed out a poison gas, trying to gag me. My asshole slammed shut like the door at Fort Knox -- beheading the wild steer.
Weather isn't climate.
This winter is actually warmer than last. Living in Canada, I of course see the temps in the Arctic on the nightly news casts and in the newspaper. Sure, Winnipeg is freakishly cold right now-- it hasn't risen above -20 C in over a week-- and the rest of southern Canada is having a cold streak-- Toronto hit bad yesterday, it was 15 below here in Halifax last night, as I was walking home from the bus. But up in the north, I'm seeing temps just in the minus teens. Iqaluit is downright balmy, temps rising above freezing occasionally. Even Alert, way, way up there, is in the minus 20s, when usually this time of year it's -40 or so.

Honestly it amazes me that someone could be so simple-minded. Is Dobbs a dope or just doing the Jerry Springer thing - it's just about the money?

This is precisely why I used that term. If enough people continue to say "climate change" instead of "global warming", it just might sink in.

No. The scholar of government, Obama, does not see an advantage in engaging in battles that are lost.
Nobody will succeed in winning an office like the US presidency unless they are capable of enormous, callous, pragmatism.

No, because people are stupid and whatever term you come up with, like, say, "HOLY FUCK THIS IS A CATASTROPHE!!!" will still be misconstrued by the moron faction.
I'm tired of morons.

He splashed down, drowning into the watery pool. And as we both writhed in pain, I immediately stood up as I clenched my butt cheeks in agony. My brown eye was winking and twitching uncontrollably. I'd been gored!
I have posted this at least 30 times under other names. I am clever, am I not?

After a couple of minutes, after my brown eye's spasms eased, I decided to try to clean up any juice the huge slab of beef left behind. I found only a few sheets of toilet paper left in the stall, so I had to be miserly: one sheet at a time. The first, a clean wipe. Wait, another sheet. A clean wipe again. I've won! I'd won.
Blago was caught with illegal wiretaps. I thought that stuff was just being used to target terrorists.
I think Obama should keep the illegal wiretaps and go after Republican politicians. Let's see how fast they go away then.

Agreed.
Feeling secure, I turned to discard the spotless paper and to have a peek at the Angus from my anus.
What this new cowboy saw before him had to be the largest longhorn on record. This cow was enormous! It had the girth of a soda can and was about fourteen inches long.

FWIW, the very first tactic of the global warming deniers was to replace "global warming" with "climate change." That was an initiative that came out of the White House early in the Bush years.
Seems to me the last few years we've had cold snaps and nasty weather in December with milder Januarys and Februarys. I could be wrong but it kind of conforms to a model I read about a few years ago. More intense but shorter winters and summers.
As I stood above the conquered beast, I felt a sense of pride -- battered asshole and all. I pulled up my pants and said, "The world must know that I slain the bull." So I grabbed the last sheet of toilet paper, pulled out a pen from my backpack and wrote, "Four beef tacos with cheese and suicide sauce." Then I placed it on the toilet seat as I left.

His judgment in accepting BIG telecom money shortly after to sponsor the Democratic National Convention certainly did nothing for theme of "Change".
Now, some people may think that leaving the cattle behind was a form of turd terrorism. But I say no. One man's terrorist is another man's martyr. And I was an American martyr on that day. I waddled to my next class like a fresh-faced boy at a prison for bull riders. But I was proud. Proud that I was in college, proud that I defeated the bull, and proud to be an American.
God bless the red, white, and poo.

I agree completely with this. But I insist the pragmatism on Obama's part won't achieve the desired results unless he is also very much criticized for it from the left.

what exactly do oil companies spend on? pumps and ships? ain't they got 'em already? i don't buy the fake scientists on teevee - oil 'industry' is simply a bunch of leathernecks and bosses counting the money, there is no glamour.

There seems to be an argument out there that we shouldn't criticize Obama for employing political tactics. I say it's fine for Obama to use such tactics, but so should we.

What does "change" mean? He campaigned as a decent centrist, an advocate of sensible capitalism, not as a revolutionary. His team is strongly aware of the rapid taming of Bill Clinton's administration by corporate/military permanent government and of the need to neutralize some opposition and get some buy in from the powers that be. Obama did not run for office on Kucinich's platform, let alone a truly radical platform.

I agree with that 100%. But I doubt the effectiveness of certain types of responses.

Marcellina
I don't know what there reasoning was. I've heard plenty of good enviros also want to use "climate change" instead, so what do I know? But "global warming" is accurate. "Climate change" is also accurate, but a bit harder to explain, imo.
Fact is, nobody, nobody at all, could recognize a 2 degree C change in average temperature. That's the point that needs to be driven home.
Someone was asking earlier about the nominee for Labor. Here's a pretty good rundown on Solis. Sample:
Solis, a fourth-term Democratic member of Congress who represents East Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley in the House, serves on the Energy and Commerce and Natural Resources committees. She has built a track record that includes fighting pollution and pesticide exposure, expanding access to health care and workforce training, and prevention of domestic violence.
Her focus on labor issues goes back to her years in the California Legislature in the 1990s, where she was the first Latina elected to the state Senate and served as chair of the Labor and Industrial Relations Committee. She focused on protecting easily exploited, low-wage workers through enforcement of labor laws, said Art Pulaski, executive secretary-treasurer of the California Labor Federation.
She launched a successful initiative to raise the state minimum wage, authored the state's first study on the feasibility of paid family leave, expanded unemployment and disability benefits for all California workers and studied the impact of Pacific Rim economies on the state's workforce, said Pulaski.
Another good sign:
Business groups were not so enthusiastic. Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Committee in Washington, D.C., condemned her support of the Employee Free Choice Act, a bill Obama backs that would enable union representation if a majority of workers turn in authorization cards, an alternative to a secret ballot election.
"She has unfailingly carried water for Big Labor and voted in favor of every forced unionism power grab that has come before her," Mix said in a statement.
Where are you Allen?
there used to be an anarchist bookstore somewhere downtown in nyc. can't even remember what it was called or even the neighborhood - but it was one of those neighborhoods that was probably turned into investment banker housing.
Shouldn't that say "Farging Bastidges?"
