I wonder how the food gift basket business is doing.
(I have a true confession. I actually went to Wal-Mart today. Second time in my lifetime but I needed a new mousepad and the only other place to get one is across town in a semi-blizzard. Rather than spending the fifteen minutes dodging assholes, I stopped at WM because it is half a mile away.
This is the problem. Their prices are not only better, they are really significantly better.
The mousepad I wanted from Staples was seven dollars cheaper at WM. I bought a 100 ct Excedrin for $3 less than I usually pay. I bought some pepperoni, a dollar less than I usually pay.
Walmart saved me 11 dollars on a total purchase of twenty-five dollars.
Damn!)
I think Palin could star in a reality show for Oxygen,
"Trampy Goes to Church."
"Pelosi caved to Bush's demands"
Was that in reference to taking money from a fuel-efficiency program to prop up the automakers for a couple months?
If so, I'm kind of not surprised. Bush wasn't going to move at all, and the Congress was spooked by the jobs numbers.
"Trampy Goes to Church."
Srsly, she could make a megafortune as a televangelista.
The mousepad I wanted from Staples was seven dollars cheaper at WM. I bought a 100 ct Excedrin for $3 less than I usually pay. I bought some pepperoni, a dollar less than I usually pay.
I don't know anything at all about mouse pads or Excedrin, but I can pretty much guarantee you that pepperoni is shit.

Yma Sumac. I found out yesterday she passed last month.

O'Malley wanted to keep them here. Moses wanted to move them to Queens (Shea). They fought over it for two years. O'Malley got an offer from CA that he couldn't refuse, which involved also moving the baseball Giants to SF.
Ironically, the land that O'Malley wanted to use to build a new baseball stadium is still empty. There are plans to build a new basketball arena (designed by the great Frank Gehry) there and relocate the NJ Nets.
Well, DWD, if it's any consolation, I'm going to go look at computer cases at Target later today.

No. I was not comparing DIFFERENT products, I was comparing the same thing.

I recently bought some name brand (Hanes) socks at a Wal Mart. The price was low but the quality was really bad. I'm convinced that the quality is significantly reduced even on the name brand stuff because the manufacturers know that Wal-Mart shoppers are choosing primarily based on price and not quality.
.
Does it still have caffeine?
AndyMN
Yes, it does. Regular Excedrin is made with acetominophin, aspirin and caffeine.
The "Tension Headache" one that I buy is the same except for no aspirin.
At my usual grocery store it is priced at $1.99. At WM it is priced at $1.00
I just find that scary. I ain't changing grocers, just pointing out what a difference it can make.
DWD-S☮S
You're right, of course.
I was saying that any pepperoni you buy at Wal-Mart, even if you can get it elsewhere, is going to be shit. You only get quality meat from people who don't have trans-global distribution systems. But that's another issue...
It's really too bad that the full costs of buying something aren't included in the price tag. Which is why you're observation is true.
But it's not the first time I've seen that headline.

Yeah. Hell of a guy.
He also wanted to knock down Brooklyn Heights, which is one of the oldest and most charming neighborhoods in all five boroughs. Jane Jacobs spearheaded a neighborhood revolt, which resulted in not only preserving the neighborhood, it was declared the first landmark district in the entire city in 1965, and was also the first (and possibly only) time someone stood up to Moses and won.

simels, i was just reviewing a Neo-Sumerian text on sex and outlanders, and one of the priestesses in it mentioned your prowess in the ritual bed. good show, lugal.
Ha! Three links in from that post down below:
Given the way that president Bush has used executive orders to gut, among other things, environmental rules, it would be deliciously poetic if Barack Obama used his authority under the Clean Air Act, as clarified by the Supreme Court in Massachusetts v EPA, to enact a nationwide cap-and-trade regime. Conservatives would scream about executive overreach and industry groups would say that Obama was working to kill the economy, but I suspect the hubbub would die away pretty quickly (especially once consumers saw that energy prices didn’t immediately skyrocket). It would also allow Congress to keep its powder dry for other legislative fights.

Chicago Dyke,
I agree. The circumstances here along the lake are snow and blowing snow with a thirty MPH wind off the lake.
I really needed the mousepad or I would not have gone out. (Mine sprung a leak I could no longer patch and I am at the computer quite a bit.)
And, seriously, we are in the middle of a mini blizzard here. A thirty minute trip with other people seemed to not be in the cards. I was merely making the observation, not condoning it.
"Except for one old man, I’ve been unable to find anyone of technical competence who is for this so-called expressway. And this old man is a cantankerous, stubborn old man who has done many things which may have, in their time, been good for New York City. But I think it is time for this stubborn old man to realize that too many of his dreams turn out to be nightmares for the city. And this board must realize that if it does not kill this stupid example of bad city planning, that the stench of it will haunt them and this great city for many years to come."

As mentioned above, he did end up selling off all the memorabilia, thought not just because of the legal bills he had to pay for the lawsuit he "won". He had held onto all of it hoping that someone would pick it up as one big lot to start a Sci-Fi Museum, but that never happened.

Barack Obama was, without question, born in the U.S., and he is eligible to be president, but experts on conspiracy theories say that won't ever matter to those who believe otherwise.
By Alex Koppelman
I'm afraid you speak the truth, Mr. Koppelman. We will hear this bullshit until Obama dies or until every wingnut in America dies, whichever comes first.
I highly recommend killfile. Download it, use it. It helps a lot.
Yep.
Killfile doesn't work on me.
I'm sure this has been already pointed out, but it bears repeating:
The McCain campaign spent more than $165K on three stylists for Palin for a period of 9 weeks!
That's an awful lot of expensive lipstick for a pig.
Also, you know how I know . . .?
I....forgot.
You may have forgotten. I was, before I was knighted, the Youngstown Kid. I had one hell of a time of it, I won every knightly battle but the evil queen took a liking to me. Well one thing let to another. Hell it's too long of a story.
But here I am, knighted, a knight of the semi square table, they don't have the round table no more.
i believe it would take less than 48 hours for them to stop.

On April 30, 1935, Duke Ellington and His Orchestra introduced “In a Sentimental Mood.” Recorded on the Brunswick label and featuring Otto “Toby” Hardwick on alto saxophone, the composition went onto the pop charts on July 13, rising to number fourteen.

“In a Sentimental Mood” enjoyed a wave of popularity in the 1930’s. Other recordings to make the pop charts that decade included Benny Goodman and His Orchestra, 1936, which rose to number thirteen, and Mills Blues Rhythm Band, also in 1936, which rose to number nineteen. In an age of radio, “In a Sentimental Mood” was the theme song for no less than nine radio shows.

Pity.
Emil isn't any old state senator, though... wasn't he the guy into who's office Obama went about as soon as he got into the state legislature and said, "How'd you like to make a US Senator?" (meaning himself- and now the both of them. How symmetrical.)

You betcha!
Although Ellington is credited for the music of “In a Sentimental Mood,” Toby Hardwick should be recognized beyond his introductory performance. In his biography, Duke Ellington, James Lincoln Collier comments, “…the central melodic ideas of virtually all of Ellington’s best-known songs originated in somebody else’s head.” Among many others examples, Collier points out that “In a Sentimental Mood,” “Sophisticated Lady,” and “Prelude to a Kiss” were adaptations of Hardwick melodies.

And without your constant trolling and your imaginary battle with simels against the forces of evil that battle for control of the blog inside your head, you would be . . .?
[Yep, I give up. Fuck it. Can't beat 'em, join 'em.)
Lets pause and reflect for a moment:
Strength
Bears possess enormous strength, regardless of species or size. The strength of a bear is difficult to measure, but observations of bears moving rocks, carrying animal carcasses, removing large logs from the side of a cabin, and digging cavernous holes are all indicative of enormous power. No animal of equal size is as powerful. A bear may kill a moose, elk, or deer by a single blow to the neck with a powerful foreleg, then lift the carcass in its mouth and carry it for great distances.
"The strength . . . is in keeping with his size," describes Ben East in Bears. "He is a very powerfully built, a heavy skeleton overlaid with thick layers of muscle as strong as rawhide rope. He can hook his long, grizzly-like front claws under a slab of rock that three grown men could not lift, and flip it over almost effortlessly...." "... a brown [bear] ... took a thousand-pound steer a half mile up an almost vertical mountain, much of the way through alder tangles with trunks three or four inches thick."
Strength and power are not only the attributes of large bears but also of the young. The author observed a yearling American black bear, while searching for insects, turn over a flat-shaped rock (between 310 and 325 pounds) "backhanded" with a single foreleg. The bear was captured the following day in a management action and weighed 120 pounds.

I printed just 3,000 a week. Enough to live on, for a one-man operation.
I didn't much rely on advertising, mostly subscription. I know a guy who does an on-line thing here, and he's quite successful-- has 6 reporters working for him.
I think I'd still go with print, tho, for a variety of reasons-- frankly, I wouldn't know how to market an on-line paper, although I seem to be learning a lot about that with my present job.

Here is why I decided to become a commenter here. I read with delite Arois' posts and the comments for a long time. It was a very friendly blog but then I saw fights. And it always was with simels. It appeared to me that simels made up sock puppets that were trolls and he would fight them. Of course simels won every fight. Then he was telling everyone to shoot themself. Kill themself. It was pretty extreme.
Over time I watched this continue, simels and his sock puppets, some as trolls and others as his defenders. I watched as simels ran off many good people who commented here.
Let's see if simels can run me off.
Wisdom:
by digby
Can someone explain to me how it is that Peggy Noonan can claim that Bush kept us safe? Didn't we have the worst terrorist attack in US history while he was president? Didn't his team brush off warnings ahead of time and didn't the president himself tell tell the CIA briefer on August 6th, 2001 that he had "covered his ass" by telling him that Bin laden was planning to attack inside the United States? Why should he get credit for "keeping us safe." (I won't even go into Katrina or the financial meltdown as measures of how well he did at other measures of security.)
Noonan and her friends are searching madly for some kind of bright spot in Bush's otherwise epically failed administration. This is the best they can come up with. But while the government certainly did tighten security after 9/11 --- as any president would have done, by the way --- his foreign policy and military exacerbated the threat many times over.
Last week-end an ex-interrogator wrote about his experience with torture in Iraq. He wasn't talking about the bad apples, but rather the normal, every day practice of torture under the authority of the top brass, which he claims was not only ineffective but lethally counterproductive. He discusses the ramifications of that policy:
I learned in Iraq that the No. 1 reason foreign fighters flocked there to fight were the abuses carried out at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Our policy of torture was directly and swiftly recruiting fighters for al-Qaeda in Iraq. The large majority of suicide bombings in Iraq are still carried out by these foreigners. They are also involved in most of the attacks on U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq. It's no exaggeration to say that at least half of our losses and casualties in that country have come at the hands of foreigners who joined the fray because of our program of detainee abuse. The number of U.S. soldiers who have died because of our torture policy will never be definitively known, but it is fair to say that it is close to the number of lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. How anyone can say that torture keeps Americans safe is beyond me -- unless you don't count American soldiers as Americans.
Looks like Peggy Noonan and her pals don't count American soldiers as Americans. How shocking.
I don't think this is the beginning of a Bush rehabilitation project (although it's never to early to start.) This seems like the sad, faint grasping at straws of tired supporters who don't have anything to work with. But you can be sure that if another terrorist attack takes place in the US --- as is probable --- this will be the first thing dredged up as proof that Democrats can't be trusted. It's probably important to constantly push back on these memes, even if they are only weak little attempts at finding a silver lining. Someday they will come back to haunt us.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Hollywood actor and former British soccer player Vinnie Jones was arrested after a bar fight in downtown Sioux Falls, authorities said.
His movie credits include "Snatch," "Gone in Sixty Seconds" and as the character Juggernaut in "X-Men: The Last Stand."
Police said Jones got into a scuffle late Thursday at Wiley's Tavern and suffered cuts on his face from a beer glass.
A police sergeant said Jones apparently charged at Jesse Bickett of Montrose, who hit Jones with the glass.
Bickett was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault.
One of Bickett's roommates, Juan Barrera, said they were playing pool when Jones asked to play, then got offended when one of them asked if he was "that guy from X-Men." Barrera said he was punched by Jones, and countered with one or two of his own.

I didn't think so.
Lubby is stuck with making shit up, now that the GOP is so much runny shit swirling the bowl.
Hey, Moe, do the interns have any ideas or theories regarding the online thing? Do they expect print to provide them jobs?
Well, you see, that's just it--only a very few people have figured out how to make an on-line paper work, financially. And even the most successful I know of, only six people are employed. My paper is investing a hell of a lot of money, and even more time, to try to figure these things out, and we've got a new thing rolling out next year, but it's still going to be dependent on the paper version.
So, at this point, most j students realize they're going to be working for old fashioned newspapers, or give up and go the PR route. Here in Canada, the very best of them will eventually work for the ceeb, where they'll get good pay and bennies doing radio (mostly), but even they're cutting back, relying more on freelancers.
Things aren't looking good for the industry.
That is so fucking hilarious!
Are you available for children's parties? Can you get a day pass? Do they make you wear the straitjacket?

The RNC HAS to be be paying those people to call in.

Senator Bush?
ABC News’ Rick Klein Reports: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is putting his name in the mix for a possible Senate run in 2010, in the wake of Sen. Mel Martinez’s announcement that he won’t seek a second term.
“I am going to think about it for the next month or so,” the former governor e-mailed The Note Wednesday morning. Bush’s interest in the race, first reported by Politico late Tuesday, could boost GOP chances of holding on to a seat that promises to be closely contested.
The former governor remains popular in his native state, and he has expressed interest in working on issues impacting education and small businesses at the national level.

Usually posting the link to his Associated Content essay on how to clean your eyeglasses works.
Lately, though, I think he's on meth so he loses what little sense of shame he has.

Dickyanker says the same thing over and over and over and over.
Thinks it's cute and clever.
It's tiresome....just like he is.
And I hope Bush stays the hell home that day.

I would love it if Obama would verbally rip Bush a new asshole as they ride together from the White House to the Capital for the oath of office.
.
It's just me again!
I think Obama would be too worried about Bush throwing up on him.
Because you KNOW Chimpy is going to show up BLITZED.
Yeah - can you imagine if a teleprompter had gone blooey on Bush?
Chimpy couldn't improvise a fart.

Yeah - and he did it beautifully.
That's what happens when you're smart.
I was stimulated to repostish something from threads at WaMo. A four-day work week would be good practice for society as a whole. It would spread the shrinking work demand around and save people money, they could spend on other things. It would be easier to afford taxes for other things like public works or infrastructure, as well as save wear and tear on the latter (and on mileage depreciation) due to reduced vehicle miles/year etc.
The 4DWW would save so very much gas, money, and transit time. Change the straight-time 40h week into a 72h fortnight to allow more creative cycles and to encourage 4 x 9h weeks, or with even more stiff encouragement.
