Again, which house is McCain hiding daughter Meghan in and why is he hiding her?
Bridget's the adopted daughter McCain keeps hidden.
Meghan's the one practicing abstinence in the kids' condo in Coronado, and the 700,000 dollar loft in Phoenix.
This hurricane is worth getting freaked about. Cat 5. Jesus.

Bomb, or bomb not. There is no diplomacy.
McCain is in no way, shape or form remotely similar to a Yoda. Yoda would always avoid combat unless unavoidable.
Yoda would also know why that is a good thing.

Strong the Dark Side is. Bomb Iran, you will.
Katrina was a cat 5 yet still managed to not tear up the whole world. Yes NOLA drowned, but that had more to do with incompetence than mother nature.
From what I've seen of the latest hurricane pix, the storm is much less well developed than Katrina, and hence at present less dangerous.
Unfortunately, in forty-eight hours, all that can change.
I hope this bastard moves way west, and strikes someplace relatively uninhabited, or better yet just peters out altogether. This is extremely unlikely, alas.
is the palin pick more of the long con???
is it really more of a looking-forward to 2012 and the need to shore up the religous base and maybe attract more women to their sad cause?
and the republican establishment maybe didn't want to give jumping off point for the other short-listed candidates like pawlenty or kaines
i dont know but the palin pick for this election cycle just seems so bizarre
there must be an angle here somewhere
Maybe Yogurt from "Spaceballs"...
Stupid, I am.
John McCain
yeah, Yoda was a good guy and McCain is a Darth, dammit!
Was Yoda ever a POW?
No, the pussy escaped during the Clone Wars and hid on Dagoba. Chewbacca, on the other hand...
When Katrina hit NO, it was Cat 3.
The levees were supposed to hold.
The hurricane track is looking not-so-good for New Orleans. The storm is moving in faster than before. The dirty quadrant is pointing at NOLA if this track holds.
And seven days ago I was there at a blogger conference talking about the recovery efforts with the locals...
sheesh
Maybe Yogurt from "Spaceballs"...

Yeah smalfish, just turned on the TV & Nagin is the one who made me nervous. Plus I feel so bad for those people, getting on busses and not knowing where they're going, if they'll have a home to come back to, AGAIN.
i also luv black's comment that most doctors don;t think he'll be worm food by the end of his term....
actually, given his age and race there is a 50% chance he will be.
McCain's the master of forign policy alright. Will he teach young mooseburger about the problems on the Iraq/Pakistan border?
The Repugs will try the old switcheroo: While McCain is shagging water bottles in NOLA, They'll "introduce" Palin who will bear a striking resemblance to Joe Loserman in a beehive.
John McCain, how does Iran get al qaida into Iran and then back into Iraq after training?
Plus, this guy is in charge of rescuing your drowning ass. Honestly, Skeletor is in charge of homeland security? Better hold on tight bitchs.

Gotta tell you about the perfect birthday card my kid just gave me.
It has Al Gore on the cover, standing on an iceberg that has broken away from a glacier. He has floaties on his arms, a green towel flipped over his shoulders, and blue flippers on his feet.
In the background, there's a penguin loafing on a lounge chair in what must be the ocean.
There's a speak bubble, with Gore saying, "Uh....Folks, we've got a problem here!"
You open the card up, and it starts playing "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer, with a phrase that says:
"You're FAR too hot for your age. Really. We have the data to back it up. Seriously. You should cut it out."
Every now and then, someone finds the perfect card for someone else...
McCain looks a helluva lot more like Palpatine than Yoda!
Is Scout Prime still in NO? Anyone in touch with her?

The angle is that McCain is reckless and made a spur of the moment decision without thinking it through.

well that's because he didn't marry a beer distributor.
i don't think Yoda was too bright.
Hanna is my middle name. But Gustav is misnamed, why didn't they call it George?
ignorant question: pre-katrina, how frequent were new orleans hurricane evacuations?
One lesson McCain will not have to impart to his know-nothing protege: how to secure the border between Iraq and Pakistan; Palin already knows border security given the common border Alaska shares with Russia.
Katrina made landfall as a Cat 3. Levee failure, and subsequent inaction, were the causes of the most problems.
Honestly, Skeletor is in charge of homeland security?
I've always thought Chertoff bore an impressive resemblance to Lenin.

you're clearly not paying enough attention to this football game.
Why did she fly 2 long flights from Alaska to Dallas in her third trimester? Because she "really wanted to give that speech?" What would she have done if the flight crew refused to let her fly?
How could she have boarded the return flight, knowing her amniotic fluid was leaking? How could she not have so much as told the flight crew to stand by with hot water? When the amniotic fluid is leaking you have 24 hours to get the baby out? Who in their right mind at that moment, in their 5th pregnancy (things tend to move faster), would contemplate a 12-hour journey door to door before getting medical attention?
Why is everything about this woman so off key and not normal? She's like the character of the President Malkin would create if she were writing a political novel. Nothing about her seems kosher.
I'm not sure if it's a beehive or a French twist, or some other variety of upsweep, but she sure sticks to that hairdo.

Snowball thing ca. 1972. There was a small patch of woods next to my house and we hid in there and clobbered cars as they went by. Stupid as shit kid stuff.

This just has that vibe of Houston a few years ago when the entire city was evacuated for a storm that did nothing.

From what I've seen of the latest hurricane pix, the storm is much less well developed than Katrina, and hence at present less dangerous.
I was just reading an article that mentioned that Katrina became unusually large, for reasons only partially understood. It had hurricane force winds extending out from the eye much further out than most major hurricanes. Gustav is much smaller, or at least it was at the time the article was posted.
It's not just wind speed. Size matters too.

You are correct. And it is a fucking shame. A fucking shame that should be pinned on the GOP.
They're in panic mode, trying to make things right, and I hope they do, to the best that they can, but it's too late. It should have been handled years ago.

Don't, it's starting to show signs of swinging west (fresh update from NOAA), let's keep wishing that it swings west.
Houston can handle it, and we here in Austin need it badly.
Have they still got that ice stashed someplace from 2005?
(AP) Likely GOP presidential nominee John McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, are traveling to Mississippi on Sunday to check on people getting prepared for Hurricane Gustav.
Their trip comes just as delegates are preparing for the Republican National Convention, which begins Monday.
Aides say McCain and his wife Cindy will join Palin in traveling to Jackson, Miss., Sunday at the invitation of Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour because of concerns about people threatened by the storm, which was heading into the Gulf of Mexico and menacing the same area ravaged by Hurricane Katrina three years ago. The storm could hit the United States as early as Monday afternoon.
Way to politicize a potential natural disaster, you fucking monsters.
Stay the fuck out of the way.
Sarah is going to have to learn the difference between Shia & Sunni, and how to bargain for rugs.
And about how the proper way is to hold hands with Lindsay.
ignorant question: pre-katrina, how frequent were new orleans hurricane evacuations?
ina, heroine
I was born in New Orleans in 1952. There were no evacuations suggested, much less ordered, for the city, before about 1981. Even for Betsy (1965, the worst I experienced) and Camille (1969--I was on a train from Chicago to New Orleans) the order was not given. People used to have parties, drink a lot, and sleep through the howling winds and falling trees. Following some particularly bad hurricane (Allen, I think), it was suggested strongly that people evacuate in 1981 or 1982 (my wife and I had just moved to a new house on Freret St, and I remember talking to her about evacuating. In the end we didn't, and it missed us.)
Nagin's order in the advent of Katrina was a first. The order tomorrow will be the second.
not just wind speed. Size matters too.
Ferris?
That's a good way for McSame to show his concern.
Picking off looters from a roof top.
Maybe Cheney and miss moose hunter would like to join him.
Well, the size of the storm or whatever... the storm surge forecasts should be enough to make us nervous as hell for New Orleans. The bowl floods again? Just damn...

HA.The funny thing about that is the energy needed to keep all that ice frozen contributed enough CO2 to melt the north pole. Irony of ironies.
"pre-katrina, how frequent were new orleans hurricane evacuations?"
I think they might have been close in 68 with camille, but I don't think there was a major storm from then till katrina
I don't think the necessary repairs have been completed, or even started in some cases
I saw a story on tv a few days ago with video of workers frantically working to shore up the levees. No mention as to how far along they are.
I don't want her to study on our dime. I want someone who can preside over the Senate and assume the office of president, if needed, from the first day on.
Oh, the Senate part's easy. The rules are all written down, and when it comes to voting, McPOW will tell her what he wants her to do.
Sarah is going to have to learn the difference between Shia & Sunni, and how to bargain for rugs.
What will McPOW do without Shortride Mentum whispering corrections in his ear?
From Jeff Masters' blog:
...Gustav will likely be a Category 3 or 4 hurricane at landfall in Louisiana, as forecast by the HWRF and GFDL models.
No, moose are definitely not kosher.
I hear that Shia and Sunni will be the names of her daughters next two illegitimate kids.
Make sure one key opens all of the trailers while you're at it.
Goodnight, all.

In my everyday life I don't have a grasshopper at my feet but I do have a dog. I don't think my girlfriend or any woman I would like or admire would enjoy the image of being at a man's feet like a dog.

I'll be astounded if McQueeq makes it to November, which makes the choice of Palin even more scary.

Do looters get shot when there's nobody there to stop them?
I've always been amused by the people who apparently thought that New Orleans before the hurricane was something like Scarsdale or Winnetka.
When the New Orleans police department is at full strength, you need to be damn near as afraid of them as of looters.
Question for Senator McCain: "President Bush has had three years to fix the levees. What the fuck has he been doing since Katrina?"
He doesn't know, they haven't spoken since May.
Jeez, here we go with a hurricane again. I can't believe this. It went from a Category 3 to BOOM! CAT 5. What, there's no 4 anymore. Can't we just have it ease into a 4 anymore? Gore was right.
Uncle Blodge: small correction. Camille was the same weekend (Sunday night, to be precise) as Woodstock, August 17, 1969.

"small correction. Camille was the same weekend (Sunday night, to be precise) as Woodstock, August 17, 1969."
Uncle Blodge regrets the error
My bad, I meant Bin Laden, dayum fingers.
Bush doesnt care where Bin Laden is.
You want to discuss experience? And you're an Obama supporter? You must have a death wish.
Barack Obama has zero executive experience. Joe Biden has zero executive experience.
John McCain has military command experience. Sarah Palin has executive experience as Governor of the largest state in the Union - and as Mayor of the fastest-growing town in Alaska. (Personally, I like small-town America).
On the experience issue, McCain and Palin win.
Besides, the "foreign policy experience" argument is non-serious. What was the "foreign policy experience" of Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher? Since you undoubtedly don't like Reagan or Thatcher - what was the "foreign policy experience" of Bill Clinton or Tony Blair?
What was the "foreign policy experience" of Obama's almost-VP-pick, Governor Kaine of Virginia? Did his lack of "foreign policy experience" concern you with regard to Kaine? No? Hmmm - I wonder why. Oh yes - you're not really concerned with experience anyway - otherwise you wouldn't be backing Obama. You'll always vote for the most liberal candidate. That's fine - but you should at least admit that's what's driving your choice here.
A great President is a great leader. Leadership skills are most clearly seen in people who have actually led: like McCain and Palin.
The "foreign policy experience" argument is actually slightly a negative to me. I'd rather have someone with clear leadership skills as an American chief executive (like Governor Palin) - or military command experience (like McCain) - not someone who sat on some foreign affairs committee in Congress (like Biden).
Of course, it's unclear what "foreign policy experience" Obama has - he's sat on a committee during his partial term as a U.S. Senator? That's not decision-making under pressure - that's not "foreign policy experience" to be President - that's sitting in a room and listening. I can listen to speeches by others on foreign policy issues - and I have - does that give me "foreign policy experience" to be President?
Also - Palin's approval ratings in Alaska have consistently been over 80%! She's a leader. So is McCain. Obama and Biden are legislators - they've never held an executive or command position in their lives.
Still, I just have a feeling that it peters out into a minimal storm offshore.
Too much energy in the Gulf waters,
Happy Birthday, Vicki!
I wish your boyfriend hadn't been so right about this climate stuff...
Michael Assfuck Moore:
"Gustav is proof there's a God.."

It amazes me that we hold foreign policy expertise in such awe - e.g. Kissinger, Brzezinski Rice, et al when all it takes is a couple of weeks boning up while out campaigning 16 hours a day.
Not a whole lot of rebuilding to do.

I'd talk about the hurricane, but I still can't quite get over the whole thing 3 years ago.
I bet there are young employees of the NSA who think that the conservatives are like Neo and Trinity and that liberals are like Agent Smith when they watch the Matrix.
It's got to be some kind of mind-bending rationalization, but I bet there are at least a few of them.
Biggest mistake the dems are making is ceding the idea that McCain is a foreign policy expert -- this not very bright, very ignorant man is dangerous. If he had been president during the cold war, we would all be radioactive cinders since he doesn't think before he acts -- and when he does, there isn't much in the nogging to think with or about. He is another Bush in choosing to be willfully ignorant.
Geena Davis has more experience than Palin, dammit.
geena davis would make a better president than mccain.

They get really bad after they get out over the Gulf now because of global warming.
What was Katrina this far out, a 3 or a 4?
Well, just in case there were a few people who thought it didn't matter, Gore or Bush (and Ralph Nader, I'm lookin' at you), here's something to think about.
Neither man could stop the advance of the hurricanes. But had Gore been the president, the levees would have been fixed after the first one, and the wetlands well on their way to recovery.
But in fact that's worse than a direct hit, or so Nash Roberts the meteorologist used to tell us.
Yeah you don't want to be to the east of the eye on land fall as thats where the strongest winds will be. On the other side the wind will be from the land and a lot weaker.

It was a "your career is over" command. Wanna discuss why?

He ran some sort of logistics command or paper-pushing operation for a year or so.

She has no executive experience except harassing people she doesn't like, her first action after being shooed into office because of repig corruption. She is sure to destory what little chance Mcstain might have had, and that's her only positive point. she's a danger to the country, like you.

The phenomenon occurs near land or at sea. Has to do with the circular wind speed being in the same (or opposite to) the wind that is moving the hurricane along its' path.

Take out the human element and mother nature is a fucking freak. She knows how to put on a show.
Eventually people will have to admit it: no man with a work history as thin as Palin's would even have been considered. McCain chose her for nothing but the most political, sexist reason possible.
He wanted to lure Clinton voters and other women, and he thought it wouldn't matter which woman he picked. He thinks all women voters are stupid enough that they won't look into Palin's actual policies.
"But among the critical undecideds, the Palin pick made only 6 percent more likely to vote for McCain; and it made 31 percent less likely to vote for him. 49 percent said it would have no impact, and 15 percent remained unsure. More to the point: among undecideds, 59 percent said Palin was unready to be president. Only 6 percent said she was.If the first criterion for any job is whether you're ready for it, this is a pretty major indictment of the first act of McCain's presidential leadership."

This hurricane will pass just to the west of us here, according to most of the tracking, so it will be much worse than Katrina for us than last time. We're going to get all the wind and rain the way they spin. I told a friend they spin off tornados on this side of them and what to do.
Over at FDL, the Irish Bacon Eater nails it:
Let us marvel at the sheer unbridled joy with which Greater Wingnuttia has greeted the nomination of Sarah Palin... whose qualifications for the presidency, by the measure of the completely demented standards of Modern Conservatism, are restricted exclusively to the following:
1. She is female.
2. She believes a lot of crazy shit.
3. She likes to shoot moose.
And you know what? I'm not joking, even a little bit.
Even Democrat Kirsten Powers ~~
The other potential trap is luring the Obama campaign onto the "experience" field. The early conventional wisdom says McCain's pick was boneheaded because it takes the experience issue off the table. But it seems that it has done the opposite: The importance of experience is the topic of the day.
The more Democrats complain about this, the more Republicans can turn it on them and say, "If you are so concerned about the amount of experience of the vice president, what about the top of your ticket?"
Obama's argument thus far has been that experience isn't what counts; it's judgment. By attacking the Republican woman relentlessly on this issue, Democrats are undermining their own man.

Day two, a scary prof asked us a question, we didn't know what he was asking, but we recognized by the inflection it was a question. Every day he asked the same question, and was growing increasingly angry that we didn't know what the hell he was asking. Finally, on Friday, he was yelling, and suddenly pointed to me, screaming "Otvechayete menya!" (Answer me.) So, I figured, it had to be yes, Da, or no, Nyet. With trepidation I mumbled, Da?
He beamed, "Konyeshno, da." (Of course, yes.) He switched to English. "For four days, I have been asking you, Will it be better today? And the correct answer is "yes".
He continued, "For how could it get worse?"
Maybe it will be better tomorrow.

6 things Palin pick says about McCain
by Jim VandeHei, John F. Harris
We knew McCain is a politician who relishes improvisation and likes to go with his gut. But it is remarkable that someone who has repeatedly emphasized experience in this campaign named an inexperienced governor he barely knew to be his No. 2. Whatever you think of the pick, here are six things it tells us about McCain:
1. He’s desperate. Let’s stop pretending this race is as close as national polling suggests. The truth is McCain is essentially tied or trailing in every swing state that matters — and too close for comfort in several states, such as Indiana and Montana, that the GOP usually wins pretty easily in presidential races. On top of that, voters seem very inclined to elect Democrats in general this election — and very sick of the Bush years.
McCain could easily lose in an electoral landslide. That is the private view of Democrats and Republicans alike...
IIRC, Katrina dropped to 4 status just before hitting.
I could be wrong though.
IIRC, it was either a 3 or a strong 2.
Muslim radical McCain wants a jihad against America.
McCain's crashed more planes than bin Laden.
For the first time in 18 months, I now believe Obama will win the election.
McCane handed him the Presidency on a silver platter.
The fascist Krauthammer actually has it right. With the race so close, why do something drastic? Make the "safe" choice. If you're in a close game, why throw a hail mary if you don't have to?
Honestly, people, 3,4,5, it doesn't fucking matter. There are a hell of a lot of variables other than wind speed, which is all the category measures.
Today, the chairman of the board of Diebold was quoted as saying he thought that Palin was an excellent choice.
macacawitz
So, the decision for November has already been made, according to Diebold.
Is it possible for a CAT 6 OR 7? Hell, with global warming, maybe.
No Cat 5 is the max as far as wind speeds get.

But these CATS go to 11 !!

Milli Vanilli Obama Dimocrats:
"with this Palin thing, we shit or go blind?.."
The GOP should change places with Bin Laden. The USA would be better off.
Katrina was a cat 3 when it made landfall.
"I don't think technically it is as the scale only goes to 5."
i think we should make the 5 an 11.
One of those storms back then, Agnes in '72 or one of them, went deep inland, then did an about face and went the other way.

Uncle Blodge, Urban Teacher
Blodge--the "experts" remain divided whether Andrew was a 4 or a 5 when it made landfall. Anywhichway, anything over 3.5 or 3.75 (so to speak, no such thing) is a motherfucker. Andrew, as bad as it was (super scary in dade County) was mainly a wind storm which moved quickly. Also was smallish & compact, powerful around the eye but not a huge circumference (as opposed to whatyou're seeing w/ Gustav--I'm in SoFla & we're already getting the edge of Gus)
(AP) Likely GOP presidential nominee John McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, are traveling to Mississippi on Sunday

another big hurricane is bad news for insurance rates everywhere. my rates on cape cod have essentially doubled since Katrina
I watched this my whole life growing up in Indiana. The Republicans win office with an awesomely popular candidate, follow up with an incompetent moron, and then proceed to find stupider and more incompetent candidates until finally they stumble upon one who's too goddamned stupid to be elected. Then they start over.

Punxsutawney Borough in Pennsylvania has basically the same population as Wasilla, Alaska, 6,000+ souls. The current mayor there in Phil’s backyard is James Wehrle. I don’t know the first thing about James Wehrle, but will assume he’s a good man and a fine, respected mayor, and I wish him many successful years in office.
QUESTION FOR YA: With no disrespect meant towards Mayor Wehrle, would you want Mr. Wehrle a heartbeat away from the presidency this coming January 20th? Would you want Mr. Wehrle staring down Vladimir Putin at the negotiating table? Would you want Mr. Wehrle’s hand on the nook-u-ler trigger?

respectfully vicki, it's not that simple. The thermal structure within the hurricane plays a huge part. For example Hurricane Celia had very little storm sure, was a very small storm, but full of tornadic downdrafts that literally exploded anything in their path.
It's not just about the water.
And each storm is very different.
Jeff Masters Wunderblog is a good place to start if you want more information.
I remember driving through S. FL after Andrew. There were literally miles of "landfills" made by bulldozing debris from houses and such into big piles.
I drove to the keys a few years after Andrew came ashore and you could still see the damage. It was quite a sight to see.

One of those storms back then, Agnes in '72 or one of them, went deep inland, then did an about face and went the other way.

This is from my sil.
Prune Plum Tart CRUST
1.5 cups of flour 1/4 teasp salt
1/2 cup butter(cold)
1/4 cup cold water
FILLING
4 cups pitted & quartered prune plums
1 cup sugar(or less to taste) 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
Oven 425
Blend flour and salt. Cut in butter (by hand or in food processor)until the mixture is crumbly. Add water and mix just until a ball of dough forms.
Roll out dough on a floured surface and fit into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch square pan.(or any similar size pan)
Filling: Combine plums, with 1/2 cup sugar and spoon into the crust.
Beat eggs with remaining 1/2 c. sugar and vanilla. Stir in flour and baking powder and mix until goopy. Drizzle over plums in the pan.
Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and bake 30-40 until lightly browned

Thank you. There are countless variables to consider.
No, thank you, and Virgotex. I actually realize this, but I was on the phone with someone, so I was trying to post the most simplistic thing without going into too much detail that made sense to me from what I remember about physics. Of course, it's variable.
Sarah Palin is a creationist!
Palin believes the earth is 6,000 years old and that the world is in this mess today because God's very special creations Adam and Eve were no match rhetorically for a talking snake!
If Alaska was once the metaphorical Garden of Eden of North America -- and many would argue that it was -- Palin would make it the wolf and bear and salmon killing, oil drilling, pollution spilling, mountain-top removal shilling, corporate wasteland that we've come to expect from the GOPers.
But Palin passes one important Dick Cheney test -- she's fully prepared to shoot someone in the face!

McCain is fucked. He knew he was in deep trouble when he picked Palin, but the pick has only made things worse for him.
McCain may once have been well-versed in some areas of foreign policy. But that time has long passed.
Now he's just out of touch, ill-tempered and reckless. Foreign policy under McCain would likely be even worse of a disaster than it has been under Bush. Hard to believe that it could be worse, but it could be.

This argument is painful for me. I was told to shut up in 2000. And in 2004. Because of the voting discrepancies.

How was your trip?

pretty good, thanks for asking. pool, beach, someone else cookin' was definitely a vacation, but my family is kinda crazy...
how have you been?
well, lubby thinks any female is hot, since his wife won't touch him, and is busy taking care of the local police department and UPS drivers.
Vicki, wishing you a wonderful birthday and an even better year.
MWAH!
McCain picked a creationist who is already under investigation in her own state.
If this ma/grandma thing turns out to be true, she's gone by Wednesday.
BTW, today is the third anniversary of the day I almost met a certain shady dame.
She was actually at Eschaton but never introduced herself.
Pretty funny, that...
What I mean bedbug, is that with the newer specs out there, putting plain old Cat 5 in a house install would be putting old crap in place. This box was part of a project several years ago that I just have not been able to do because of time constraints. It would be like putting Cat 3 in place when Cat 5 was king. And while wireless is nice, a hard wired infrastructure has its advantages. Mixed is a more rounded solution.

Has anyone asked McCain lately about evolution? He might be forced to claim that he is a creationist too now. He is completely beholden to the fundie base.
Sarah Palin received less than 115,000 votes when she became governor.
115 fucking thousand. I am SO laughing.

Sorry. just used to Celsius - 31-33 C is that right? And the Gulf waters are colder (mostly). So it'll take some steam out of this thing?

He will just say they are big enough to agree to disagree. And then add, if he dies in office everyone is really screwed.

Or do you enjoy it because your wife won't even look at you any more, since you lost your balls and curled up in fear?

Try having your birthday on the day every bad law goes into affect.
How about having the drinking age in your state raised from 18 to 21 ON your 18th birthday.
That was me, Dude, in mellower times. But I'd always slip on some white silk for you baby.
Sorry. just used to Celsius - 31-33 C is that right?
Yep. There's an eddy of warmer water from the loop current right in the middle of the gulf, but beyond that, closer to land, it cools quite a bit.

Hagel owned one of those companies when he garnered 80% of the vote in an overwhelmingly black district. Something unheard of for a republican. Don't know if he still owns any interest.
Crap!!!!
Wow!!!!
This discussion on cabling just triggered a thought that solves another big problem I have in the house.
Now if I can just find the time to implement it.
Oh yeah - why I came over here tonight - I found this story on a sports message board
The 5th baby with down-syndrome....wait for it.....May not even be hers!!!! She was seen during her supposed to be pregnacy at 44 with no sighn of pregnacy. Pictures confirm no plump belly 7 months into the pregnacy. But wait it gets better.... Her daughter may be the real mother. She missed almost 5 months of school with a case of "mono". And they have pictures of her at 16 with the plump belly that was oh so absent from Sarah. Now these are just rumors as of now. But this story seems quite weird along with the pictures.
I hear sleighbells...
Happy Birfday, snookums.

snookums?

Speaking of comic books:
As a matter of being one of those odder than odd occurrences was born in this episode when the opening sequence has Poet Duncan Kleist (Mr. Burgess Meredith) stopping at the News Stand and having words with the proprietor (Lou Gilbert). Quite by accident, we're sure the cover of a certain publication is very visible and recognizable in several different shots. It is the cover the Marvel Comics title, "Amazing Fantasy", Number 15, dated August, 1962. Although this was the last issue for that particular title, it served to introduce the heretofore unknown Character to the world; that being Teen-Ager, Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man, in his Origin and First Appearance. He was also featured on this cover, big as life.

Now that is a cool story.
Not reading your NATOPS is quite a fitting example of John McCain's reckless and irresponsible lifestyle.
His disregard for rules remains his standard as evidenced by his use of songs without the permission of those who own the rights to those songs.
Cspan has the memorial service for former Ohio Congressional Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Speakers include Senator Barack Obama, Senator Hillary Clinton, and former President Bill Clinton.
The service lasts a little over 3 hours.

"The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is not a template for governing the US of Eh.
But given Sid Vacuous' history of BONERS, he may well be using it as such.

Sarah Palin received less than 115,000 votes when she became governor.
Actually, it was around 90,000. Almost 10% of the electorate that year voted for an independent candidate.
Palin: smokin hot, even with the glasses
It’s Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog that totally ROCKS!
That's exactly right -- I love Punxsutawney Phil! -- and Sarah Palin is not fit to be mentioned in the same sentence!
But I do get your point about similarity in size and population of Wasilla, AK versus Punxsutawney, PA.
Actually, Punxsutawney Phil would be on anyone's short list for VP -- but I'm pretty sure that Phil is a Democrat!

Premium Quality Bitchslap, provided by Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL)
-----
Wasserman Schultz was a strong backer of Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries and is known for her interest in women's issues. She told Mitchell, "If John McCain thinks that he can substitute Sarah Palin for Hillary Clinton in the minds of Hillary Clinton supporters he's sadly mistaken. I know Hillary Clinton, and Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton." ...
Mitchell then asked, "What about the pull of gender politics? Will there be a ... large number of women -- independents, Republicans, people who you all wanted to bring into the Democratic tent -- in suburban towns and cities around this country, who will like the idea of a woman on the ticket?"
"Women in this country don't want a candidate on the ballot just because of the parts that she has," Wasserman Schultz replied. "They want a woman candidate running for president or vice president because they support equal work for equal pay, they support a woman's right to make her own reproductive choices, they support access to children's health care, they want to make sure that we improve the quality of public education. Sarah Palin is against all of those things. So it's not just electing a woman for the sake of getting a woman in there."
