Clips bought on eBay
Cho went to eBay to buy ammunition clips for one of the types of guns he used in the rampage, a spokesman for the auction site confirmed Saturday.
Using the handle Blazers5505, Cho bought two 10-round magazines for the Walther P22 — one of two handguns used in the massacre of 32 people. The clips were bought March 22 from a gun shop in Idaho.
“It’s apparent that he purchased the empty magazine clips,” eBay spokesman Hani Durzy said. “They’re similar to what could be purchased in any sporting goods store around the country.”
Cho also sold several books with violent themes, tickets to Hokies football games, and a graphics calculator that contained several games.
“The calculator was used for less than one semester then I dropped the class,” he wrote.
Cho’s eBay rating was superb — 98.5 percent. Only one person gave him a negative rating. The site says the person has had an account since January 2004.

As I was taking my trash and recycables to the convenience center (e.i., dump) this afternoon, I was listening to a local talk show called something like "Swop or Sell."

What about people who believe in atheists?
You'd be surprised how many of them are around. When I used to participate in the usenet newsgroup alt.atheism, it became clear that many of the bible thumpers who came to preach to us were of the attitude that we were all just closet Christians, who were only denying the lord and pretending to be atheists so we could have some sinful fun.
In these people's minds, all they had to do is quote some scripture to make us "atheists" collapse in a heap of guilt and beg the lord for forgiveness. Of course, the reality was somewhat different. As I told several of these bozos, their Bible and scripture was as meaningful to us as Norse mythology was to them. Just another collection of fairy tales.

Then in 1999 Karl Rove reached out to GE Chairman and CEO Jack Welch, promising radical deregulation for the broadcast industry (GE is the parent company of NBC).

I just checked with her. Her stuff was received by them two months in advance of her imminent trip.
At that time, they were saying "6 to 8 weeks." Now, they are saying "8 to 10 weeks." So, she's going to have to call and expedite it.

While it is true that Alan Dershowitz did say seem mean things about George in the distant past, lately he's come around to the administration's view on the important issues like torture and Islamofascism.

The Justice Department is conducting a probe of a $6 billion reading initiative at the center of President Bush's No Child Left Behind law, another blow to a program besieged by allegations of financial conflicts of interest and cronyism, people familiar with the matter said yesterday.
The disclosure came as a congressional hearing revealed how people implementing the $1 billion-a-year Reading First program made at least $1 million off textbooks and tests toward which the federal government steered states.
"That sounds like a criminal enterprise to me," said Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.), chairman of the House education committee, which held a five-hour investigative hearing. "You don't get to override the law," he angrily told a panel of Reading First officials. "But the fact of the matter is that you did."

Neil is currently sucking off the "No Child Left Behind" teat with his Ignite! "educational" software...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Nei...ite.21_Learning
In 1999 Bush co-founded Ignite! Learning, an educational software corporation. Bush has said he started Austin-based Ignite! Learning six years ago because of his learning difficulties in middle school and those of his son, Pierce Bush. [4] The software uses multiple intelligence methods to provide varying types of content to appeal to multiple learning styles.
To fund Ignite!, Bush raised $23 million from U.S. investors, including his parents, Barbara and former President George Bush, as well as businessmen from Taiwan, Japan, Kuwait, the British Virgin Islands and the United Arab Emirates, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Russian billionaire expatriate Boris Berezovsky, Berezovsky's partner Badri Patarkatsishvili, Kuwaiti company head Mohammed Al Saddah, and Chinese computer executive Winston Wong are documented investors.
In 2002, Neil Bush said his brother's (George W. Bush) commitment to education is real, but he questioned the emphasis on constant testing to keep federal aid coming to public schools: “I share the concerns of many that if our system is driven around assessments, pencil-and-paper tests that test a kid's ability to memorize stuff, I would say that reliance threatens to institutionalize bad teaching practices.” [1]
As of October 2006, over 13 U.S. school districts (out of over 14,000 school districts nation-wide[2]) have used federal funds made available through the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 in order to buy Ignite's products at $3,800 apiece.
Sounds like good news for you.
It is indeed!

With the exploding scandals at the Justice Department and the World Bank enveloping his administration, President Bush voiced "full confidence" in Alberto Gonzales and Paul Wolfowitz this week. But as history has shown, there is no more certain confirmation of the criminality, ethical-wrong doing or imminent departure of a Bush team player than the President's expression of confidence in him.
For the pathetic details, see:
"President Bush, Confidence Man."

They want the military to be back here in order to keep the "minorities" in line.
True, it seems though that a lot of Libertarians threw all of that out the window and sided with the Republicans. Don't get me wrong, the Birchers still have all of their crazyness intact, especially on immigration.

They said it was a good thing; that it meant the U.S. was finally going to clean up the Middle East and withdraw militarily from the rest of the world and become a conventional sea-based power instead of having troops stationed everywhere.

"Our Domestic 101st Fighting Keyboarders
by mcjoan
Tue Apr 17, 2007 at 01:36:07 PM PDT
Those same brave souls among the 101st Fighting Keyboarders are fantasizing about how macho they'd have been if they were in that classroom at Virginia Tech yesterday.
John Derbyshire of National Review is the fantasy bravest of them all:
As NRO's designated chickenhawk, let me be the one to ask: Where was the spirit of self-defense here? Setting aside the ludicrous campus ban on licensed conceals, why didn't anyone rush the guy? It's not like this was Rambo, hosing the place down with automatic weapons. He had two handguns for goodness' sake—one of them reportedly a .22.
At the very least, count the shots and jump him reloading or changing hands. Better yet, just jump him. Handguns aren't very accurate, even at close range. I shoot mine all the time at the range, and I still can't hit squat. I doubt this guy was any better than I am. And even if hit, a .22 needs to find something important to do real damage—your chances aren't bad....."

Then in 1999 Karl Rove reached out to GE Chairman and CEO Jack Welch, promising radical deregulation for the broadcast industry
"In general, [Welch] saw corporate news organizations as untapped political resources that should be freed from the burden of objectivity.
. . .
He began to aggressively, but very discreetly, evangelize the gospel of corporate media as a corporate lobbying tool.
. . .
Welch told associates that he enlisted two members of the GE board to assist him in shaping the coverage of the election by other news organizations. . . . They quietly encouraged the executives of the mainstream media organizations to rethink the relationship between news divisions and business organizations."

The Catholic Church has now officially said Limbo doesn't exist. Apparently, it was a big misunderstanding for 700 years.
trifecta
It was never an official doctrine so that's an out. But it is interesting because, as Richard McBrien pointed out, if you don't believe unbaptized babies go to hell, like Augustine said, and you don't believe in limbo then you have to conclude that they are in heaven and that throws out the entire idea of original sin. Original sin was most popular in Western Europe, it wasn't held by all branches of Christianity. It sort of puts the real integralist Catholics in a bind if Ratzinger is saying this. Kind of fun, actually. If you like that kind of fun.
My niece picked up a book of Thomist cosmology, looked at one page and said, "this stuff is crazy" and went back to Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.

You do realize that cats often bite (lightly) as a sign of affection, no?
That may be true, but our cat seems to bite everybody just for the hell of it. Sometimes a person (or a dog) will just be walking by and the cat bite an ankle or something. It's the damndest thing and this is an animal that's never been mistreated. I think it is an animal manifestation of my pentultimate wife.
Now wait a minute, she might have a valid point there.

"Yes, yes, I know it's easy to say these things: but didn't the heroes of Flight 93 teach us anything?"
this reminds me of the gun nut i saw on cnn (i'll have to search for transcripts) who bemoaned the fact that the va tech students and faculty weren't armed, because "if we learned anything from 9/11 and katrina, it is that the gov't is not going to be there to protect you. so you have to be prepared to do it yourself" [close paraphrase]
i guess he meant that if all the occupants of the twin towers simultaneously emptied their colt .45s out the window they could have taken those planes down.
or that the nola residents trying to cross the bridge to safety could have opened fire on the police force preventing them.
i guess.

In addition to the randomly biting cat, we have an Irish Setter and a lab. I've had Irishes for years and have been lucky. They're loveable and mostly dumb, but sometimes you get a smart one and we have. Had a Bulldog once that was so dumb, he'd go to sleep in the sitting position and fall over and not wake up. We thought he'd had a stroke. It was like having a pet concrete block, so though she's a biter, the cat's better than that.

I dunno, regardless of what a bunch of shit Frank Rich wrote last week, this is pretty good snark, "Mr. Bush assumes the role of mourner in chief on a selective basis, and, as usual with the decider, the decisive factor is politics. Let Walter Reed erupt in scandal, and he’ll take six weeks to show his face — and on a Friday at that, to hide the story in the Saturday papers. The heinous slaughter in Blacksburg, Va., by contrast, was a rare opportunity for him to ostentatiously feel the pain of families whose suffering cannot be blamed on the administration . . . "

Big has a new book out that slams jr so they send out chertoff to slime him.
wapo book review:
George H.W. Bush, Brzezinski argues, was a superb crisis manager who missed the opportunity to leave a lasting imprint on U.S. foreign policy because he was not a strategic visionary. He earns a solid B. On the other hand, Bill Clinton had the intellect to craft just such a post-Cold War strategy but lacked the discipline and the passion, leading to eight years that produced more drift than direction. He gets an uneven C. Finally, the younger Bush offered "catastrophic leadership" after 9/11 that has already stamped his "presidency as a historical failure."
http://www.amazon.com/Second-Cha...r/dp/
0465002528
I could see them sending rove out to attack Big but chertoff should be too busy with other things. And that just makes Big's argument that jr. is a fuckup.
What extraordinary about Colbert is that he completely ignored everyone in the room, and stayed in character. The more they didn't laugh, the more he "defended" George Bush. By the end, he was yelling "this administration is soaring! They're rearranging the chairs on the Hindenberg!"
His audience was in shock at that point.
I should also point out that when the camera panned the audience people they looked stunned but they were also laughing.

I've never had the patience for a Bernard Goldberg interview, but he's with Pumpkinhead now on CNBC
He talks about how he first saw liberal bias at CBS in the early 80s. Their stories about the homeless "always" showed normal people down on their luck, never mentally ill substance abusers. Amusingly, he indicated "normal" by saying to P-head "people who look like you."
And when CBS did stories on AIDS, they "always" showed straight victims of it. Why? The "homosexual lobby" had persuaded "their liberal friends" that focusing on straights would generate more alarm.
Goldberg can seem halfway reasonable at times, doesn't revel in a hateful demeanor. But he's pure wingnut

If Mrs DWD drifts off to sleep and I know she wants to wake up but I am not sure how to do it without raising her ire (And she is a BITCH when she is wrested from sleep - after thirty five years of marriage I can state this absolutely) I find her favorite "treat" and tempt her awake.
Her weakness is usually something simply like Rice Krispie Treats. The smell of the marshmallows melting with the butter is usually enough. But in dire cases, the brushing of the finished product on her lips works.
Wake her up and ask her if she wants you to wake her up. Works for me.

Gore campaign team assembles in secret
Friends of Al Gore have secretly started assembling a campaign team in preparation for the former American vice-president to make a fresh bid for the White House.
Two members of Mr Gore's staff from his unsuccessful attempt in 2000 say they have been approached to see if they would be available to work with him again.
...
But, aware that he may step into the wide open race for the White House, former strategists are sounding out a shadow team that could run his campaign at short notice. In approaching former campaign staff, including political strategists and communications officials, they are making clear they are not acting on formal instructions from Mr Gore, 59, but have not been asked to stop.

Theme is, "we have to laugh."
Really?
They can't laugh at themselves, won't laugh at politicians, Bush refuses to "be funny" due to current events, so what is the point, exactly. I'm not bashing them for being too cozy with the the figures they cover, I'm bashing them for being so paralyzed by concern out of offending anyone that they can't even by funny.
All those "precision flying" hotshot groups should be discontinued pronto.
They're forever proving they don't fly in precision. Sometimes the whole lot of 5 or so crash in "precision."
And the gov't is paying megabillions to entertain air show crowds just why?
Oh--They inspire youngsters to want to fly in the military. A sub-worthless goal as far as I can tell

: a vote by which the people of an entire country or district express an opinion for or against a proposal especially on a choice of government or ruler

Sorry, hockey talk: forgot to address that to Plum P. Butt-ending is one of the dirtiest plays in hockey. Literally taking the butt end of the hockey stick and shoving it into an unprotected area of your opponent. It is always a dirty play and if caught you are given a game misconduct and a five minute penalty. Jerome Iginla did this in front of a National Television audience this day. I hope he gets suspended and ridiculed.

My favorite player when I was a young kid was Frank Mahovolich, when he played for the Canadiens back in the early 1970's.
Later, I was a fan of their goalie, Ken Dryden. After he retired, he put out a book about his last season with the Habs, called "the Game". Quite enjoyable.

Jeez, if I had a dollar for every time I've seen someone chez Atrios suggest the elections were stolen, I'd be able to help George Soros out...
I may be biased but I am quickly being sold that Nick Lidstrom may be the greatest hockey player ever. Certainly the best defenseman. He is simply a marvel to watch.
He skates effortlessly. He is always in the right place at the right time. He is strong on the puck. Shoots a laser. In the game today he assisted on four of the five goals. The other was scored on a penalty shot. Brett Hull gave him the ultimate compliment the other day. The other announcer said he never even breaks a sweat, Hull said, "It's easy to not break a sweat when you never make a mistake."
If you have the time and want to see the best ever play, catch him and marvel.
Yes, but I suspect if there are no guns, girls and gadgets, Monsieur will be a little sad.
although any of those would be preferable to our current pre-identified miserable failure in everything he ever did.
dirk gently, sociopathetic
Well, he was bright enough to be born into a rich, socially-connected family.

Hey, Dirk, it's okay with the racing news. I used to race a bit (SCCA) and I was a NASCAR fan until it became a politcal subset. My dad built racing engines with Harry Hyde, whose name you might know.
And Judi Dench rocks.
Not to diss our host or anything...
one night at an Eschacon camping trip, Atrios crept into my tent and, and, I think he excoriated me in my sleep... why?
Chris Elliot was in The Abyss?
I can't believe Get a Life hasn't been released on DVD.
Well, he was bright enough to be born into a rich, socially-connected family.

yeah, but look what he picked for a mother.
Yeah, that's the ticket. I realy liked him because he was my size (I was a VERY small basketball player) and quick as the dickens.
They called him the "Road Runner". Evidently, he was also incredibly strong for a guy of his size (5' 7"). He was one of the players that really impressed the Russians the most when Canada played them in the 1972 Summit series.

dr jeckyll's alter ego?
my daughter's boyfriend works for a marketing company that represents pepsi at nascar, so it is always a big deal when gordon wins. that's all i know. oh, and that here in georgia we had 40 days of mourning when dale died.
Judi Dench is yet another of the apparently endless stream of British actors who bring craft and intelligence well in excess of the necessary to even the smallest roles...

Sallyh:
Are you a fan of 50s Sci-fi? I regularly watch my DVS of "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "The Thing" the original "War of the Worlds" and a few others. Oh, "Invaders from Mars" and "Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers." Not as good as the others, but campy.
i love when i can see a good movie that has no guns in it.
only wish it happened more often.
Glenn, love it all, the cheesier, the better.

I always figured NASCAR was an excuse to get drunk.
sallyh: thank you; that would be lovely
Glenn: 'Forbidden Planet' stood out head and shoulders in that group...
dr jeckyll's alter ego?
Nah, Harry Hyde was the guy Robert Duval played in that abomination called "Days of Thunder." Shudder.
i am suddenly very tired. or perhaps i've turned into a pumpkin. in any case, good night all.
Sorry SallyH, but I do seem to remember right after the election Atrios saying somethings about stolen elections that kinda pissed me off. Excoriated maybe an exaggeration. He refused to even discuss it at all at first. I may be wrong that he he has'nt touched on it since, but he has not (AFAIK) come out and embraced the idea the it is fact.

Absolutely, professor, Don't know how I could forget that one. Anne Francis, oh my goodness!
The Krell, wasn't it?
They didn't need to steal the whole thing, just a few critical bits.
I may be biased but I am quickly being sold that Nick Lidstrom may be the greatest hockey player ever. Certainly the best defenseman. He is simply a marvel to watch.
I'd say you're biased. Bobby Orr, Raymond Bourque, Doug Harvey, Eddie Shore, and Denis Potvin, amongst others, are ahead of him as far as defenseman go, with Orr way ahead.
My daughter waited on Tim Robbins, and says he is luminous.
my son had the day off when justin timberlake came into the flying biscuit, but heard that he was actually very nice.
ok, really, goodnight all.
Glenn: the Krell it was, and a very young Anne Francis. A great deal of the 1950s zeitgeist could be summed up in the notion of 'monsters from the id'...

In case Atrios hasn't heard, the scheduled guests on the first Michael Smerconish (aka "The Shame of Philadelphia") show to be telecast by MSNBC include Yes' lead singer, Jon Anderson.
Another former idol from my DFH past lets me down.
"I'd say you're biased. Bobby Orr, Raymond Bourque...."
Orr was probably the best I've seen, but I must admit I haven't paid a lot of attention to Lindstrom. I'll do so in the future.
What do y'all say these days instead of "sheets"?
Now, this is what is known as a bad review, "Rich Little, with shockingly dyed hair, said at the outset that he is “not political” but rather a “nightclub performer who does a lot of dumb, stupid jokes,” then proved that.
He started with a couple of Canada (his native country) jokes and a weak Sen. John McCain, which bombed, as did an impression of.Arnold Schwarzenegger, causing him to look at the crowd askance. “You thought Colbert was bad,” he finally joked.
With that he pulled out one of his classics, Johnny Carson, with a joke about lawyers being “assholes,” which drew a laugh from the president, despite the off-color language.
Then he did Andy Rooney asking: “If you overdosed on Viagra how would you get the coffin closed?”
Little followed by doing six presidents, including a man he “loved,” Ronald Reagan. He put in false teeth to play Jimmy Carter saying that when he was a peanut farmer “I had the biggest nuts in the county.”
As the presidents got more recent, the impressions got weaker: George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton and then possibly the worst impression of all, the current president. But he closed with the one he is most famous for, Richard Nixon, saying, “Let’s bring him out of the mothballs one more time.”

You're not Toby Petzold.
Are you a fan of 50s Sci-fi? I regularly watch my DVS of "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "The Thing" the original "War of the Worlds" and a few others.
I've got all of those on DVD. The most remarkable thing about listening to the "The Day the Earth Stood Still" commentary was finding out that the director Robert Wise wasn't clued into the fact that the script was basically a retelling of the Christ story.
"A great deal of the 1950s zeitgeist could be summed up in the notion of 'monsters from the id'..."
Walter Pidgeon did a great job of pulling off what was a fairly complicated explanation. Usually in 50s Sci-fi, the scientist would offer some lame explanation for a plot point, then somebody would say "but doctor, there are some things man is not meant to know."
"Quiet you fool. I MUST communicate..."
ZAAP!
"Forbidden Planet" was miles beyond that. Good call.
I'd say you're biased. Bobby Orr, Raymond Bourque, Doug Harvey, Eddie Shore, and Denis Potvin, amongst others, are ahead of him as far as defenseman go, with Orr way ahead.
Richard
Don't want to get fussy on you but IF Bobby Orr had stayed healthy, I would agree with you. Ray Borque was a hell of a good player as was Potvin and Doug Harvey: but I am not sure they are as good as Lidstrom. But that is opinion.
This man has played nearly every damned game since the 1991 season. It is subjective, but I think my position is strong.
Robert Wise wasn't clued into the fact that the script was basically a retelling of the Christ story.
The world was gonna be blowed up if christ was or was not born?

Ya know, I could just join the ranks of the surly, re Haloscan. However, one more try:
Yep, you nailed it. My favorite line, though, is Judi Dench's "One more syllable and I'll have you killed."
That's great. I'd never thought of that. Was it Klaatu Christ?
If its and buts were candy and nuts
I wish Terry Cath wouldn't have killed himself.

Upsidasium
Dench is wonderful.
In 2001 the "liberal media" paid a million dollars to count all the votes in FL. Gore won. The recount wasn’t ready until after sept. 11. The “liberal media” didn’t want to undermine bush’s strong leadership so it pretty much went unreported.
If activist judges on the supreme court hadn't steped in there would have been a state wide recount, which has been done in the past in FL, and Gore would have won. I'd call that stolen.
Democracy Counts
The Media Consortium Florida Ballot Project
Since the media consortium’s findings indicated that Gore could have won a full statewide recount of all votes (all undervotes and overvotes), there has been debate about the likelihood of such a recount. Judge Terry Lewis, assigned by the Florida Supreme Court to oversee a statewide recount of undervotes – which was terminated by the U.S. Supreme Court – wrote in a note during the recount2 and has said in interviews3 that feedback from counties may have led him to order all votes counted. Based on that assertion, some Democratic advocates have said that Gore would likely have won the statewide recount that was underway. Needless to say, in a dispute that was litigated at every step – twice to the U.S. Supreme Court – any changes considered by Judge Lewis would not have passed without scrutiny.

When Audrey Hepbirn in "Roman Holiday" or Virginia Mayo in "A 1001 Arabian Nights" want to get rid of somebody, or get rid of entire groups, They don't say "Shove off, filth."
They say "You have my permission to depart." Everyone rushes to be the first to depart.
