Good. And plaster is less susceptible to mold than drywall (the mold eats the paper in the drywall, and there's not really a counterpart in plaster).
You can get a good dehumidifier for about $100 at Target - we got one for our apartment in Arlington, and it makes a big difference.

Where did cows come from, aliens? I don't remember ever hearing about wild cows, or prehistoric cow ancestors.
According to the San Diego Zoo:
Wild cattle are larger members of the Bovidae family, a scientific grouping that also includes antelope, goats, and sheep. They include Asian water buffalo Bubalus bubalis, African or Cape buffalo Syncerus sp., bantengs Bos javanicus, gaurs Bos gaurus, yaks Bos grunniens, bison Bison sp., and all domestic cattle. Both male and female wild cattle species have horns, but the bull’s (male’s) horns are much larger and thicker than the cow’s (female’s). Cape buffalo have two horns that are joined so that they cover the whole top of the head. In most species, the bull is also much larger than the cow.
I also remember some kind of extinct European wild cattle that started with an "o" but I can't remember the name right now. There is also apparently a type of wild cow, not an escaped domestic species, that still can be found in the Scottish highlands.

My neighbor's Maine Coon cat got out twice in the space of ten days.
My daughter and I, headed down to the bus stop, encountered him both times.
I knocked on the door and let my neighbor know he was out. We got him back in the house.
Today, I asked him if I could borrow the weed whacker, as my yard was looking like a jungle. The one I had for 11 years finally died and I need to get me a new one.
He said because of what I'd done for his cat, he would take care of the yard for me.
He did -- as as well as patch of grass in the front of my house that was getting a little overgrown.
There was never any talk from the talking heads of Bush 'overruling' anyone though. He supposedly 'listened' to the generals on the ground and we all know he replaced anyone who didn't agree with him. Now, the fact is, he has that right, but he pretended that he wasn't doing that. Now the media have taken to pushing the fiction that the decisions on major policy aspects of military involvement are actually made by the generals and that Obama would be exercising some sort of untoward power by giving them an order to withdraw.

Chillingham Wild Cattle
Before being enclosed within the park (in 1270 A.D.), it is probable that they roamed the great forest which extended from the North Sea coast to the Clyde estuary; and it is presumed that when, some time in the 13th century, the King of England gave permission for Chillingham Castle to be "castellated and crenolated", and for a park wall to be built, the herd was corralled for purposes of food. The successful capture of a number of wild cattle in those days would not only have eased the local food situation, but would also have made it impossible for raiders to take such cattle back with them across the border since, being wild and extremely fierce, they could not have been driven like their domestic cousins.
As to their ancestors, the shape of the skull and the manner in which the horns grow out from it are similar to the Aurochs (bos primogenius) and quite different from the skull of the Roman importation (bos longifrons). It is thought by many therefore that the Chillingham Wild Cattle are the direct descendants of the original ox which roamed these islands before the dawn of history. How they came to be white is another interesting matter for speculation. They invariably breed true to type and have never been known to throw a coloured, or even partly coloured, calf.
In recent years, it has been possible to obtain live blood samples from several of the wild cattle just prior to their deaths. Dr. J. G. Hall of the Edinburgh Animal Breeding Research Organisation has analysed these samples from the genetic point of view and has found the blood grouping to be unique amongst western European cattle. Their origin therefore still remains a mystery.

GOP stalwart arrested in 2-day St. Paul prostitution sting
Peter Hong, a longtime Republican operative in Minnesota, was arrested Wednesday afternoon on a charge of soliciting prostitution in St. Paul.
Police spokesman Peter Panos said that the arrest came during the first day of a two-day sting operation during which "johns" and prostitutes responded to ads placed on the Internet and in print. Thirty-five people were arrested Wednesday and Thursday, Panos said today.
He supposedly 'listened' to the generals on the ground and we all know he replaced anyone who didn't agree with him.

The beauty of the whole thing is that McBombBomb is running a one note campaign. Today, for the eleventeenth time, he screamed about Obama not sucking the surge's dick.

Terry C, our Maine Coon has to be boarded at the hospital for at least 4 days. Poor thing, he's had this horrid belly rash, a chronic condition for about 2 years and we just can't figure out what's causing it. Last week we had biopsies done and the poor guy had to wear an E-collar to keep from pulling the sutures out but he still was able to lick his belly.
He's licked ALL the fur off of his belly and the skin is raw and bloody. It's awful. So he's at the vet's.
I didn't know if this was a condition that other Maine Coon cats get or if it's just Quinn.

We inherited a little tabby cat with our house that we named "Prairie". The previous owner said she strayed in and didn't belong to any of the neighbors - esp not to Al, who "shoots cats- just hates them."
Funny thing was Prairie never came into heat. Didn't make sense to spay a cat and then abandon her.
So I made the rounds of the neighbors again, except Al, of course, and nobody claimed her.
So the other day, Al came over for a chat and was sitting at the table having a beer, when Prairie wandered by - and he jumped up and yelled "Freckles!"
We stole his cat. Turns out he doesn't shoot cats - he keeps a couple around to keep the vermin down and prairie/Freckles was a favorite. He's OK with it tho- says ahe just wants her to have a good home

It really is. I know he spent the $$. Dad gave him the boat, though. At the end, dad was just too frail to care for it properly.
Chris replaced all the canvas, too. Cost him at least a grand on that, alone. He even redid the pinstripes, and added a new "Wellcraft" sticker.
The cabin looks great -- everything is working, except the stove. My sis and her husband slept in it last night, on Spring Lake, in front of my mom's home.
It's very cool.
They're soliciting names for the boat. Dad had called it "Bayou Dick" (his name was Dick, and he was an old crank who loved dirty jokes), but never registered it under that name.
I suggested "Dickless," since dad is now gone, and it was originally his, but my mom forbids any name with the word "dick" in it.
They're thinking of calling it "Old Style," after the beer, and because it's 30 years old.
Pretty cool, though.
Had a great boat ride today around Spring Lake. Next week, I hope that I can go down the Grand Haven channel with them and into Lake Michigan, to celebrate the National Coast Guard Festival, which started today in grand Haven.

US now winning Iraq war that seemed lost By ROBERT BURNS and ROBERT H. REID
BAGHDAD (AP) - The United States is now winning the war that two years ago seemed lost. Limited, sometimes sharp fighting and periodic terrorist bombings in Iraq are likely to continue, possibly for years. But the Iraqi government and the U.S. now are able to shift focus from mainly combat to mainly building the fragile beginnings of peace - a transition that many found almost unthinkable as recently as one year ago.
Was this the camp: The Southern Girls Rock and Roll Camp??
Nope. It was with an organization called DayJams that has camps at various places around the country. They actually have about 4 weeks worth of camps here in the Los Angeles area -- 2 weeks on the campus at American Jewish University, 1 week here in the San Fernando Valley, and another week in Pasadena. They hold camps at about 2 dozen places around the country.

That stuff really honestly disgusts us. We are a nation of hummer-driving gun-collecting child-murdering John Wayne fan pussies who don't know the first thing about war. Your soldier's safety is best guaranteed away from the war, and if he's there and he's as fixated as you are on this, then he's a coward who should be shot. If there really was a real just war, a defensive war repelling conquest, it would be worth nearly exterminating ourselves to fight the enemy. But these pieces of shit start convenient wars that work liike everything else in Reagan's Revolution like a crooked lottery, "gosh I hope I make it back from that place i wasn't supposed to go."

US now winning Iraq war that seemed lost
By ROBERT BURNS and ROBERT H. REID
BAGHDAD (AP) — The United States is now winning the war that two years ago seemed lost. Limited, sometimes sharp fighting and periodic terrorist bombings in Iraq are likely to continue, possibly for years. But the Iraqi government and the U.S. now are able to shift focus from mainly combat to mainly building the fragile beginnings of peace — a transition that many found almost unthinkable as recently as one year ago

Of course how does the US want to support the returning vets? By not forcing the VA to have reasonable time frames for mental health treatment. 18 suicides a day for Vets(from all wars) which is MUCH higher than the national average.
This is true. I was talking to a relative a couple weeks ago who just retired from the VA, worked as a psychiatrist. Said he'd started seeing so many Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and the military was pressuring his department to send people back out. He couldn't take it any more and retired early.

I found the Tennessean's coverage of this matter intriguing. Way more ahead-of-time attention to a political event than they usually give--as a rule, at least when a Democrat is involved I don't hear about it from them until they run "coverage" after it's over.
But this one? Story every day since Tuesday or so, iirc. "Republicans Close Fundraiser to Press." Next day: "Why Do Republicans Close Fundraiser to Media?" By Thursday it's like "Is Rove Appearance Reason Fundraiser Closed to Media?"
Very much of a feeling that they were trying hard to get a protest going. Not that they give a damn, but just so they would have something to cover.

Mayer said two other top DOJ lawyers had to develop a system of speaking codes because they feared they were being wiretapped while others described an “atmosphere of intimidation,” mainly from Vice President Dick Cheney:
MAYER: There was such an atmosphere of intimidation. … They felt so endangered in some ways that, at one point, two of the top lawyers from the Justice Department developed this system of talking in codes to each other because they thought they might be being wiretapped…by their own government. They felt like they might be kind of weirdly in physical danger. They were actually scared to stand up to Vice President Cheney.

The unwitting friends of the Elders are going to enjoy pointing out pieces of paper that supposedly entitle us to oil we can't get to, extract, refine or transport. Iraq, which was a mess, now possesses a grudging national sense which pretty much only exists because their enemies so plainly wanted to shatter it. The US is no longer a superpower and Russia and Iran have greater credibility.

[Side note: McCain squeaked out of the S&L scandal, merely getting reprimanded for "bad judgement," too.]
However, as reported by David Collins, state police indicated they believe laws limiting their power are not necessary.
...especially not their power of bad judgement.
Thor,
What did you think of this week?
I think this group is overall less talented than any before.
What is the Thorette's opinion?
Yeah, I'm steamed alright! I'm lucky if there's some cruddy chicken dog in my ramen. but enjoy your arthropods.
Gromit, have you ever tried the direct approach?
"I'm very tired. You have to leave now."
However, as reported by David Collins, state police indicated they believe laws limiting their power are not necessary.
Hmm. They would think that, wouldn't they?
Somebody's unclear on the concept.
It's just funny as all get out how they never think they need to infiltrate, for example, freeper groups in order to formulate a plan to prevent violence.
Predictably, everyone pointed out the large number of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans we've started seeing at our shelters ...
And prior to that a huge majority of homeless were Vietnam War vets.
I'm all in favor of restoring the idea of vets homes, so they have guaranteed places to live. Don't we owe them that?

res ipsa loquitur
This week was . . . bad for me.
I finally took the step and had myself checked into a psych ward for observation because of my depression and the "ideation" that was following me around. I was there for 48 hours: no shoelaces, no belt, no mobile phone, no computers, no razors, nothing. Just groups and waiting to see the doctor and finally getting some meds. Which I'm using now.
I've been off work all week, but I feel better and relaxed, and no bad thoughts--yet.
And no Project Runway this week. But I'll catch the rerun sometime this week.
I do agree that from what I've seen this lot doesn't seem as talented. But I thought that about last season as well
Smokes,

Karl Rove on "Hannity's America" is trying to calm the Republican audience by saying that the election is very close.
"I'm very tired. You have to leave now."
The MIL was very tired and shouldn;t drive after dark. So I used the "You look really tired approach on her". The next four departed after being reminded that they have to finish packing for their camping trip tomorrow. These last two have no place in particular to go, and didn;t take the hint. They're the sort of scruffy guys you would not sit next to on a bus.
One is a BIL who we haven't seen for four years, so I'm trying to be extra tolerant.
Oh, Rove's back in the country? Does Conyers know?
"I'm very tired. You have to leave now."

Go downstairs in your jammies. Say goodnight. Lock the door. Turn out the lights. And go back upstairs.
Or stretch out on the couch and begin to snore loudly.
SC Thor -
Damn, my brother. I wish I could do something.
Take care of yourself.
Whoa, Thor.
I'm glad you did that (i.e., checked in) if you were feeling so badly. I hope you get more relief soon.
I recommend watching "PR". Those clowns will definitely give you a needed laugh.
SC Thor. Take care of your good self. We all need you.
Gromit, in that case, extra alcohol will be required.
Oh, Rove's back in the country? Does Conyers know?
I'm now gleaning that this is a repeat of last Sunday's show. Sorry for the news that smells worse than the dead corpse in Joe Scar's office. I regret not know that this is a repeat. In all fairness, though, there's nothing on the "Info" box to indicate that it's not, however.
Rove always cracks me up when he says "Warshington."
They're the sort of scruffy guys you would not sit next to on a bus.

I'm trying that now. The last month I've gone full blown into treatment because it was getting to where I couldn't do anything: too much depression and anxiety. I was having trouble functioning. For the last month I've been in consoling, and I start seeing a psychiatrist next week. But this last step . . . the thoughts were getting way too dark and it was getting too easy to say "fuck it" so I had to get help.

Wow, Thor. I hope the meds help. Please be careful with those things--despite the common jokes people tell--missing them really can cause terrible trouble.
I've been to the psych ward once myself, and I have no intention of ever going back.
In my case, merely getting older changed something in my head--whatever bad chemistry that was making me morbidly depressed, sometimes unable to do anything but work out "the plan" (those who've been there know what I'm referring to), slowly receded.
My best to you, Thor.
Best wishes to Supreme Commander Thor.

that is one of the few things I still look forward to. And that's another part of the problem; just losing interest in things. Not really giving a shit about stuff I used to love. My consoler says it's like the "Walking Zombie Syndrome": already dead inside but still moving on the outside.
Tell you, this letting mental illness go for 40 years is a bitch.
I'm trying that now.
I didn't mean to sound so bossy.
As Gromit said, we need you brother man.
oh man. i remember crack of dawn goin down the severn with some chicken necks and a crab net. if you were lucky, by noon you would have a bushel full of 6 inchers. then up the house, get a crab pot out put in the appropriate amount of vinegar, salt, water, and old bay. lot's of old bay. then dump in the crabs. invariably one or two would escape and you would have to catch them as they scrabbled about the linoleum.
watching your bare toes, 'cause they were pissed, and they bite hard. but eventually you'd grab 'em by the backfin and get 'em back in the pot. slam the lid down.
i always wondered why they called 'em blue crabs. looked red to me.
Evening, good folks.
Thor, I'm sorry to hear you're going through a rough patch. As you've probably noticed, you're a favorite around here, so do take care of yourself.

In my case, merely getting older changed something in my head--whatever bad chemistry that was making me morbidly depressed, sometimes unable to do anything but work out "the plan" (those who've been there know what I'm referring to), slowly receded.
It is like as I started hitting 50 suddenly the light went out. I just stopped caring. Really, to be honest, some of my best times (things that caused me to laugh out loud) happened here on this board. But it's been few and far between. I finally realized Monday night that I was planing for "The Big Ride, baby", and Tuesday I told my boss and HR that I was checking in. Told my wife as well. She was upset, but I told her I didn't have a choice, I had to do it.
It really was the best for me. It was scary, but in the end it helped.
Now, on to treatment.
Thor, sorry to hear about this. Take care of yourself and listen to the docs. I've found that their perspective is better than my own.
Supreme Commander Thor: Tell you, this letting mental illness go for 40 years is a bitch.
I spent most of the last five years without simple meds that would have made my life much easier, and I kick myself for it, since I could have afforded to fix it on my own, had I simply applied myself. But, the application of one's self is a big issue in my disease.
So... we do what we can.
Anyway, e-me, and I'll give ya my phone, too.

You did the right thing, Thor. Keep hangin' in there. Good thoughts coming your way.
that two years ago seemed lost.
Must be why they flew that Mission Accomplished banner 5 years ago.
Now, on to treatment.

Good decision. I will keep you in my thoughts.

I was probably laughing at NTodd, who interrupted us as I recall.
Smokes and I were the Eschacon early risers.
Vicki: When we were kids, she used to say,
"It's time to warsh your hair."
Are you from hillbilly stock? 2nd gen Michiganders, who transplanted from my neck of the woods?
.
Yeah! We won! Let's bring the troops home!
Yanno, a mental health professional friend of mine once said that "depression is just anger turned inward."
Now, we both were in our cups at that point of the party, but to some extent, I suspect she was right.
We've all been raised to believe that it's more important to be nice than to be good, so when we see what is happening around us, we internalize it and somehow get to believing it's our fault somehow.
When that gets combined with the chemistry we carry around, the effects can be devastating.
Hannity:
"I want to offer some unsolicited advice to Barack Obama. He needs to start acting like a stateman."
I guess that means that Hannity thinks Obama should start talking with mouth full of roll at state dinners, grab-assing female heads of state and talking to the public like an alcoholic derelict that just fell off a park bench.
To these morons, Bush is a statesman, I suppose. A fairly horrible and ugly distortion of the term....

I knew a kid who couldn't pronounce "s." The sound would come through his nose: "Snowman" would come out like "Hath-nowman."

Yeah! We won! Let's bring the troops home!

Her mother came from Quebec to Muskegon. Her last name was LeMieux.

Digby has a post up that worries me:
This voting stuff isn't going away, and if anything it's going to get more intense as Republicans get more desperate. I can't believe that this article didn't get more attention when it came out a few weeks ago. There's no question that this will became an enormous issue literally out of nowhere this fall.
Election officials worry that the state's home foreclosure problem will pose a problem this November for voters still registered at their former address, a newspaper reported Sunday.
Voters in pivotal Ohio with outdated addresses face possible pre-election challenges and trips to multiple polling places. They also are more likely to cast provisional ballots that might not be counted.

The dems are the ones that created the essential condition for things improving in Iraq, they pressured Bush to remove Rumsfeld from office. It looks like it's time to revisit the entire war and review all the decisions and mistakes this administration made which prolonged and instigated the bloodshed.
Jesus folks, if voting really made any difference it would be illegal.
Obama ain't gonna change anything.
My only hope is for some sane, rational SC appointments.

Bush is fucking McBush over AGAIN, just like he did in South Carolina. For some reason, he loathes the guy. And he is fucking him over big-time. He's going to declare "Victory" before November. You watch. Then where is "McBush" ? Still chasing "victory".

No; the SSRIs from a few years ago are as effective as the latest ones, and they're available almost everywhere for $4/mo. or less, generic.

The talk therapy is very expensive (while often VERY effective, depending on the therapist), and much more likely to get shot down by an insurer, or capped.

She was right about not counting McCain out, six months ago (so was I, but I'm incredible, while she's credible).
It'll probably be close, and if it is close, the Repubs will steal it, for the third time.
You can take that to the bank.

Did I tell you how much I loves me some res?
As much as I hate little bootsy, McDong is a completely despicable bag of shit. I really can't blame bootsy for jacking J Sid's ass.
He's going to declare "Victory" before November. You watch. Then where is "McBush" ? Still chasing "victory".
heh.
My understanding is that brown people aren't unfailingly impressed by other varieties of brown people, but I'm white as wonder bread so I don't actually know.
SteveLG
well, yeah, racism isn't just white on brown. but still, i'm hoping the majority of knee-jerk conservatives are white.

It will be hilarious when he selects his running mate. He needs a "game-changer" and everyone who might fill that bill will make wingnut heads explode.
Bloomberg, for instance, puts Bob Barr in double digits in a single stroke.
How many barrels of oil could the US have purchased with that 3 trillion dollars?
at $145/per barrel this much:
20,689,655,172.4 barrels

It wouldn't matter -- it's a crap shoot.

If there's one thing they're good at, it's disenfranchising African American voters. They've got years and years and years of practice.
All you hear in ky. is anti Obama. Some here earlier today expressed the opinion that he has a chance in ky. I see absolutely no hope here for the Dems.

Johnson said the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would give the South to the Republicans for a generation.
A generation is twenty years.
Who knew LBJ was such an optimist?
I notice that people who reside in larger media markets (the top 30 or so) are much more enthusiastic about Obama winning in a landslide.
20,689,655,172.4 barrels, a little less than three years total oil consumption.
"I notice that people who reside in larger media markets (the top 30 or so) are much more enthusiastic about Obama winning in a landslide."
except me.
But I'm a pessimist by nature.
I don't think Bush hates McCain. I think Bush is a classic psycopath. He doesn't think about anybody but himself, and his self-love overwhelms feelings about others. he hates McCain, but only about as much as he hates everyone, because he can't really distinguish between people outside himself.

well, right. but not to assume that every black voter would vote for obama, it seems like it would be harder to steal this particular election. though the not-providing-enough-voting-machines method is worrisome. maybe we could work on organizing a take-voting-day-off movement now.
Well, I, for one, hope that res and billy b are right.

Ayup. And the SCOTUS approval of voter ID laws will cost the Dems a million votes. Easy.
There's lots of legal voters who for one reason or another don't have ID.

"I notice that people who reside in larger media markets (the top 30 or so) are much more enthusiastic about Obama winning in a landslide."
well, i'm not in a media market, but i can guarantee that obama is gonna landslide MY state!
can you say 'mcgovern?' i knew that you could.
I should have added that the major newspapers are center-left, but are under constant attack from the wingers.

You're right, of course, but I do think a large African American turnout could throw things Obama's way. Unless when they show up to vote there are not enough machines, new voter ID laws are confusing and are used to turn people away, traditional intimidation tactics are used, etc. As Digby says, the closer it gets, the dirtier their tricks.

"were we all fucked when the Germans bombed Pearl harbor?"
actually, yes.

ina, the unions have been working for that for years. They get nowhere.
Because the GOP banks on low voter turn-out. The US doesn't vote in the numbers that Europe does, for example. The modern GOP doesn't want turn-out like that. If an informed electoratge votes, the GOP loses.

The Digby post on this is pretty concerning. If they'll turn away 98 year old nuns, you know they'll turn away working parents who don't have time to go back home, get the proper ID, come back, stand in line again, etc. etc.
the dumbest bastard i can think of was president, twice.

I know what you mean. I think there's been a real change in how people perceive what's going on, though, and a LOT of people are just fucking sick of this shit, and ready to try something different.
My optimism is tempered by the Dems amazing capacity to lose, but I still feel that McCain is going to lose it for himself.
We'll see.
Why not hold elections on Saturday or Sunday?
They do it in other countries.
10-1.
easy.
With this, I agree. I'd even say 95%.
Well, I, for one, hope that res and billy b are right.
I hope so too and on my better days I actually agree with them. This just doesn't happen to be one of that kind.

as part of my civics class we covered voter suppression. Went over it in African American history too.
I want my students armed with knowledge of how to beat this shit.

Because that would make it too easy for working people and parents to vote.
The people in the large media markets have a lot of electoral votes.
But billy b and i are right. Doesn't mean we don't have to DO stuff (e.g., I'm going to Camp Obama), but we ARE going to win and Thor is gonna get better and Condi Rice is gonna fade into obscurity and I am gonna get in to see the "Hair" concert at the Delacorte and donc is gonna get into l-school (poor kid) and there's gonna be ice cream for everyone.
No; the SSRIs from a few years ago are as effective as the latest ones, and they're available almost everywhere for $4/mo. or less, generic.
i knew that too. but i'm telling you the psychotherapist is essential. doesn't have to be hi end either. just has to be competent (any good soc. worker would do) and you have to be paying them. your friends don't want to hear this shit.
Sandra Day O'Connor wanted to resign under a republican president. She sold out her country for personal vanities. Never forget.

well, i didn't mean an official one. i meant a grass/net kinda thing. not quite a walk-out but a sick day or personal day. and just for folks who know there's gonna be a wait to vote.
Heya, Uncle B! I'm good, just got in from dinner with some friends.
How about you? Are you working this summer? How are the children?

I work on Saturdays and sometimes Sundays.
I think voting should be over several days... like, Saturday through Monday.
I'd love to see the infotainment industry freak out over that.

At least in Minnesota, employers are required to give you time off to vote.
Don't know about other jurisdictions.

I never could understand the adulation for that cunt O'Connor. She was one of the pukes that violated her oath of office and gave us this fucking idiot.
what kind of ice cream?

I had a therapist (2nd one, after I fired the first one) who was an old Italian. He worked at Ft. Campbell, most of his career. Great guy. I talked to him every couple of weeks for a couple of years.

"Are you working this summer?"
Yep. teaching summer school - science for a change.
"How are the children?"
Mostly ok. oldest had his first car accident yesterday,and rather than try to support him she sent him off to me. oy...
I would say we should all vote by mail, but my local post office is full of the angriest, stupidest people on the planet and the idea of depending on them for our democracy scares the shit out of me. They can't even tell me how much it's gonna cost to send a letter to Japan without utterly fucking it up.

I've got some B&J's Chunky Monkey.
SteveLG we could have an election month.

My Mom votes absentee every election, whether she's around or not.
And Oregon does vote by mail, which has worked out rather well, I think.

Dayum! Glad he's got you to come to, though.
Mr. V wants me to join him in an ep of Mad Men, so I'm gonna mosey.
Love all you looniebats! Talk to you soon, I hope.
as long as it's not the shitty store brand, I'm happy.
SteveLG,
Whatever you want.
I will say one negative thing, though:
This wine I am drinking is ass.
"that's great!"
Just throw money
just because I might be a pessimist doesn't mean I won't keep fighting

Wow. The one by me is run by a middle-aged fat gay man named Dave, with two dogs he adores. And he knows almost everyone and is very nice, and competent.
His employees aren't all the brightest, but they're decent and helpful to a person.

You know, they have until Jan 20th. I'd rather have them get it right than get it right away. Used to take weeks to get the info from all around the country. Somehow, democracy survived
There is a new thread you sorry lot of ungrateful bastards.
I had Pinkberry before. The coffee is good, but that shit is expensive. And I think I'd rather have ice cream once a week than Pinkberry twice a week.

Adam, I would drive out of my way for a post office like that.
The local branch is nice enough, but the main office is where I have to go to conduct a lot of business, and they drive me fucking nuts.

res ipsa loquitur
I had Michel Arnould Brut Reserve Grand Cru Champagne from Verzenay. It was delicious (and cheap, for Champagne, let alone quality Champagne).
However, it did not improve my mood in the slightest, though I rather like the snarky edge it gave me.
Why not hold elections on Saturday or Sunday?
They do it in other countries.
IIRC, the first Tuesday in November is written in stone in the Constitution someplace.
I agree that holding elections on a weekend would improve voter turnout.
Which is why the GOP would be violently opposed to any such move.
They want to reduce participation. If more people vote, they'll probably vote against the interests of the Ferengi aristocrat wannabees.
Can't have that.

laff of the nite.
charlie has always been a hero to me. well, an anti hero.
"i don't think they should let me out. if they did i'd have to kill a bunch of people. it'd be the honorable thing to do." charlie at a parole hearing circa late 80s early 90s.
A few people didn't like my pointing out that steamed a crab to death is a very painful and slow way for an animal to die.
Someone said, "but they're delicious!" That does not justify cruelty to animals. It's the kind of thing Rush Limbaugh might say.
Someone else said that I brought the mood down. Cruelty to animals usually is a bummer, but ignoring it doesn't make it better.
Someone else pointed out that crabs get killed by predators in violent ways. True, but unilike people, those predators do not have the ability to make a moral choice on what they will eat, and also, I can't think of a worse death than being burned alive.
I know that the concept of animal rights is funny to a lot of liberals. New rights for oppressed groups are always mocked, but mocking something is not an argument.
