Letitsnow, letitsnow, letitsnow.
Snow, rain, a little of this, a little of that.
stopped snowing.
Bah. You probably actually looked. I just guessed.
Halloooooooo!!
Still "Snow Plus in Seattle"?
it will be a lot warmer in Oklahoma ...

I want to see a snowman in front of Chez Walt by tomorrow morning!
I think we need a new thread..Such wit cannot be contained in merely one thread...

We can pay for heat with the half billion dollars we aren't spending on an arena.

Le tits now? Some kind of Franco-Finnish flirting?
I'm reading All The King's Men.

It's like penis, mightier than sword.
Which is really very funny when you think of it.
Billionaire investor George Soros last week said global losses are likely to top $1 trillion from the subprime mortgage crisis, which he called the "worst financial crisis of our lifetime."
Already, Marenzi expects at least 100,000 job losses at U.S. commercial banks, or companies that lend or collect deposits. That figure could rise to between 150,000 and 200,000 in the next 12 to 18 months, he said.
"Banks have been reluctant to reduce headcount because they are waiting for a turnaround," Marenzi said. "I don't think we will see a huge uptick, and if anything, conditions are actually deteriorating, not improving," he added.

Sat right next to Cornel West.
Well, apparently I'm old, and I'm prety sure I've screwed my own damn self because I've cut my hair so short as to be automatically dismissed as an old butchie broad, (it wa just a wild hair to see how it would feel to be crew-cutted), so now I'm in a sociological experiment that I really wasn't thoroughle prepared for.
I'm kind of scared to go out in public without a hat.
Still, I think I'll get some good stuff out of being a --badass--old broad.
I think it's getting me some cred among my daughter's pals.

I'm not telling, though.

Just wear really long dangling earrings if you are worried. They balance it all out.
Does no one care that I shaved my head?
Jeebus, somebody put Tweety out of our misery. I dislike Hillary as much as the next person, but Tweety's a fuckin maroon.

Yeah. Supposedly many in the first round were the older and higher earning people. The next round will cut into the younger group, too.
Where's the beef?
Lubyanka
Up your ass.
Tweety's a misogynist.
I've never had medium long hair. Only really long hair and pretty short hair.
Oh yeah, I already raalized that my tasteful pearl stud earrings aren't quite the right note with the buzz cut. So I'm borrowing some danglies from my daughter, but I don't quite have a style down, jsut yet.
Earrings, doncha know, are key to the message of the haircut.
even Tweety wonders about Messiah Obama's cojones, if any.
Bitch-slapped into weakness by a weak candidate....you go, GDAmerica Obama Dude!

You will have fun experimenting. Scarves can also take a much bigger role with less hair.
You do know that Kaus is a hack, don't you? Just checking.

I think there are a lot more to come.
So glad I work in a completely different industry. I went through one bad time on Wall Street in the 80's.
It was horrible.
Messiah Obama: allows Michelle to henpeck him like Hillary?

Being an elitist, I'm just wild about saffron.

The personality mix isn't helpful, either. Too many people are unable to cope with the bear market or something so they blow off their heads all the time.

Nobody coulda anticipated that a pyramid scheme was not a good basis for an economy.

Do you gather it, stamen by stamen, at the hour of the early dew? Coz if not, then you are no elitist.
OTOH, Saffron's wild about me.
root:
the twats getting fired now should have anticipated it all--it was a credit cluster-fuck for all to see
In the eighties, I was all about the scarves, but those are all long gone, even though I had some super excellent gorgeous scarves.
I could still do scarves though, That's a good idea, thanks.
scarves..

We had one guy in the arbitrage group who developed chronic fatigue syndrome from the stress of always worried about getting laid off.
Eventually he had to quit.
Did any of you read the story about the woman with two different DNAs?

How can someone have 2 DNAs?
you seem bitter about my being so popular with the "wine drinking set".

dude, what the fuck is wrong with you? I mean, why are you like the way you are you are today? - always just searching for a little more insight ...
So. Echidne
I have seen you shimmy, but I can't say I noticed what your ears were doing.
How can someone have 2 DNAs?
It seems that you can, because of that absorbed identical twin thing. She was tested in some sort of maternity/paternity thing and they came to the conclusion that she wasn't the mother of her sons, even though she was.
The DNA was different based on what part of her body it came from.

Biology is so cool. Just when you think you've got it figured out, it's inherent squishiness blows our categorizations apart.

Oh, gross.
But wouldn't it have to be an absorbed fraternal twin? not identical?
Cause identical twins have the same DNA.
That song was about a sex toy?

"I got the D-Cell Blues"?
I have no ear for music at all, sorry. I grew up in a world of no music.
How is that possible?
But wouldn't it have to be an absorbed fraternal twin? not identical?
I think you are right. The way it was explained was that it was like the Siamese twins, except that one had been absorbed back into the other, so the person consisted of bits of each twin now.
That song was about a sex toy?
So say some.

No, that Saffron song.
I always thought it was about some hippie chick named Saffron.

No music at home at all. Only a little at school, like silly anthems and stuff.
I didn't have a radio or anything.
Finland is 1 and America is dead last in high school science education.

I know this guy who sez he absorbed his twin. He brags about it.

My real parents sucked but they both loved music.
Lots of music around. My dad sang and so did I.

Yeah. Finland pays teachers a very high salary and the school day is much longer than here. But then there's less poverty and problems linked to it.

LOL re Kevin Bacon

Did you call him twin kill toes?
Happy Reading!
Duane V, Bitter Classist |
Thanks. Sorry that it wasn't more clear that I was referring to the white working class vote, which the referenced article was about. The first link to Time is about Yoots only and does not anywhere mention white working class.
The second link to Salon does not mention any primary. The third link to Huffnpuff similarly does not anywhere mention white working class.
So I would have to say that all three of those are 100% nonresponsive to:
Which is why they, together with the youth vote, have embraced Obama.
Duane V, Bitter Classist
I don't recall this happening in any of the 30 primaries so far. Do you have a link?
So let me clarify: is there a link to data etc. showing a primary where Obama carried more of the white working class vote than Hillary, as a minimum indication of "embrace Obama"? I call myself paying attention to that sort of shit and I simply do not recall it happening so far, but 30 primiaries have a lot of tabs etc.
The link would need to address at least one primary result and its white working class vote breakout, say by exit poll or whatever. And btw, that Jed Report link also does not anywhere mention the white working class. And thanks for the effort - if it has happened I would sure like to see it, because I may have missed something.

Mellow Yellow was a double entendre song, but that was the big deal then.
Did you call him twin kill toes?
I should have. The toes were webbed together. That's how they found out about the twin.
I had a boyfriend with a twin between two of his toes, too.
I read about this guy who had a big tumor and when they removed it it turned out to be his twin. Had teeth and hair in it.
GROSS!!!
That would be like having Voldemort growing in you.

Hee. A very cute creature, if I remember correctly.
Is that "Elite" thing sticking to him yet? No? Damn! Well just keep repeating it until it does!
So will Bobo Brooks obsess about HIllary's closed door tape dissing Move-On?
Donovan Leitch, composer of "Mellow Yellow", et. al., intimidated Dylan nearly to (even more) insanity. Dylan knew the guy had it, for what that's worth.
Then there's "Hurdy Gurdy Man"..
So, which industry should I get into so that I can succeed in the coming global financial crisis. I'm think republic neocon pundit.
Don't have to be right
Your books don't have to be good
You will have speaking opps
You will get jobs at universities
When the Democrats talk office you will always have an opportunity to comment on them.
I can't find anything wrong with my logic here.
I'll leave you all with this.

Not too surprised.

Maher asked about the "Obama is an elitist" nonsense and West went off on a rant that I'm sure was brilliant, but I'm tired so I didn't understand a word he said.
My answer to everything now is, "When I can get to it."
Well, seein' how shit's kind of gone South here, I think I'll retire and go to my repose.

Oh, got called by the Alaska Democratic Party today, asking me to please attend a presser by Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich next Monday.
There is only one thing he can possibly announce, and its a terrific thing: He's abandoning his Exploratory Committee, and gonna announce that he is running full tilt against Ted Stevens for the Senate.
I'm gonna be there for that!

Tommy Jones and the Shondells isn't who you think he is. He's not some genius songwriter with a whole string of hits. He's a loser with a couple of hits that's been playing small time nightclubs for 40 years.
Hey AEI think tank, how much money did you make last year selling your "products"?
What do you mean you have to survive on hand outs? What kind of organization ARE you. Begging for money all the time.
If you product was any good people would pay to buy it.
Oh, I see they DO get an ROI on their investment. Please specify for us, or is it all loosy goosey?
"We change people perceptions that rigged free markets are great and that not paying taxes is great for everyone (not just the corporations). For that they pay use 245 million a year. We are doing a pretty good job don't you think. They are happy with the ROI so we will get more money next year."
Tommy Jones
He's the Welsh "It's Not Unusual" guy, not Tommy James, who was the Dayton, Ohio guy.
FORP, loopywanker
Ooops. Late. Night all. Sweet dreams.
That was nice final rule: "I'm bitter cause twice shit kickers voted for a guy they wanted to have a beer with, and I got stuck with the consequences."
Who discovered Bob Dylan?
"It's Not Crystal Blue Unusual"--Tommy Jones
For your edification Mellow Yellow was not about sex toys or LSD it was about a prank to get kids to think they could get high by smoking bananas. google "bananadine prank"

All the RW fucktard nests should be asked for their business plans, their products/services, their break-even point, their time to payout. Who are their investors and what are they investing in? Exactly as you say, what is their ROI?

Saw John Prine late tonight on Austin City Limits. He sang a new song he wrote coming back from a family visit to Ireland, "Some Humans Ain't Human."
Lyrics (iirc), "You're feelin' your freedom, the world's off your back, then the hot shot from Texas, starts his war in Iraq -- some humans ain't human, some people ain't kind."
Love that guy, have since I first heard him about 1976 -- an American treasure.

Tom Jones' cut of "You Can Leave Your Hat Hat On" really features his strong voice quite well.
Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey were born about 3 years and a few miles apart in Cardiff, Wales (1940, 1937). Guess they were handing out pipes and attitude for a little while in that corner of the world.
I'm creepier. Wonder where the troll went.

and it's downhill from here..
The last time I noticed the trolls so terrified was right after Mark Foley was caught sucking off underage pages, and a calamitous November loomed. Good times.
I guess old Mark walked in to a black hole and has never been seen or heard from again.

I'll shed a tear if I survive Tom Jones. He went with the Vegas money, but who the fuck am I to find fault with that?
