hi!
Who me?
US scientists say an animal found in Texas is not the chupacabra - or goat-sucker - of American myth, but a coyote with a hair loss problem.
DNA tests on the carcass found at a ranch south-east of San Antonio yielded a virtually identical match to coyote DNA, biologist Mike Forstn

it is my opinion that Bombadil was left in the story to illustrate (1) the depth of the world and at the same time (2) the incompleteness of the mythology for that world.
so to say: even in JRRT's "made up world" (i think it is real) there are some things that do not fit his own explanations of that world. which is kind of silly and cool at the same time.

A vote by the Pittsburgh diocese is part of a theological

Not everything 'matched', but he had his reasons for leaving it in.
And while there were very valid reasons for leaving him out of the movie, he's in important part of the feel and theme of the book.
I've been living in the SW long enough that if I'm standing still, 60 or 70F can feel chilly. I used to be the guy who wore most the winter in Montana, except for when it was 20 below or I was taking a stroll in a blizzard, a light jacket.

That's probably right. I now think that the comment I made was in his son's recent book which puts together some of the early stories. Whether it was the son's opinion or not I don't know, and the book is back in the library.

bombadil came from earlier poems Jrrt wrote around WW1. who knows ( i dont but it is knowable i suppose) what bombadil was then or if that question is even meaningful.
im just sticking to the idea of how bombadil works in the LOTR.
Bombadil is not in the Simarillion, which was sort of writen before LOTR.
all very interesting.
i suppose we could aslo say he is a mair like melkor or orome and be done with it . . . but who is goldberry????
argh.
Alright, time to try sleep again.
I'll try to dream pleasant dreams.

wow canada, a country w/o the death penalty, announced new policy today not to seek clemency for its citizens convicted and sentenced to death in other "democratic" countries. canada considers usa to be democratic. canadian liberals say this is prelude to canadian con plan to get the death penalty in canada.
ok now i rolled down and around and see that schumer and feinstein are caving on mukasey. or phantom caving since those two are so fucking spineless. mark my words, if mukasey gets to be ag he will be captain of the police state in 2008. his waterboarding answers were just so fucking telling even if your dumbass senator didn't bother to read the massive volumes of the mukasey public record that supports my view. feinstein and schumer have made me ill so many times now. sad sad day if the tpm report is accurate.

We actually got a week away from closing, and the buyer pulled out... wouldn't agree on a mutually satisfactory price, no matter how flexible we tried to be.
So it's back to the drawing board.
i suppose we could aslo say he is a mair like melkor or orome and be done with it . . . but who is goldberry????
Tolkien's female characters are not very well drawn. They are a little like caricatures.
I know how that goes. I was beginning to lose hope to ever sell the place in Montana, when at the last moment, I got two bids from two entirely serious buyers. got to pick the best one and closed the deal.
My house is a problem. It needs a new roof soon, but I will never get the money back by selling, because the house is going to be pulled down for a McManor. So when the roof goes I go, too.
Echidne, is that a shingle roof, and is it flat, or does it sag in parts?
I'm installing Leopard - it's taking FOREVER!
Echidne, is that a shingle roof, and is it flat, or does it sag in parts?
Some of the shingles are beginning to buckle, but the roof doesn't sag and I don't think it leaks yet, either.
Some of the shingles are beginning to buckle, but the roof doesn't sag and I don't think it leaks yet, either.
If that's just an asphalt shingle roof, and there's no other repairs to be done besides maybe removing, and nailing on new shingles, it should not be that terribly expensive to have a new roof put on.

I have one of those older things too. My profit is all in the lot value... I'd have to put a bit too much into the structure I have to recoup, if that is even possible.
I truly hate most of the big McHouses they put up... they look so fake in a neighborhood that will be mostly small 2 and 3 bedroom cottages for quite a while.

Things I'll be working on; programing optical measuring tools to automate more of their checks. The good news is that one of the optical machines can use standard DFX and other cad files after running it through a conversion.

Between Korea, the UAE, and now the PRC, internets has been iffy.
But I'm getting like you were with Maxx, how many shaved places can we have here. When is what we can do, too much?
If she's happy, and not suffering, then it's not too much. Fur can always grow back.
Maxx was in so much pain, he wasn't enjoying being a kitteh. Once the pain meds weren't helping him, it was time.
And it is probably just as well you aren't here right now Barry. Just noticed looking out my window, we've got a carrier in port.
at Sadly, No where the Young Americans for Freedom
Those clowns are still around. They were annoying people during the Vietnam (their good war) conflict.

fourlegsgood, gots torch du U?
Zoey isn't in obvious pain, she just doesn't wanna work her mouf. Oh she'll gnaw knots outta her fur, but eat... hell, them 2 leggers do that for me.
I dunno, she's gotta make a decision soon.
Well, I have to go to bed.
Oh dear. Ripley is on the sofa, washing Maddie's ears. Hee.

Take a look in Kowloon at the Bottom's Up club, they are probably all in there.
we've got a carrier in port
Which country?
I hope the feeding tube has given her mouf time to heal.
She might be like Maxx. When I first got him and his mouth was so sore, he had stopped eating because it was so painful. After that first surgery, he was capable of eating, but he was afraid.
Finally he just got hungry enough and went for it. When he figured out it didn't hurt anymore, he ate me out of house and home for a solid month.
Good sleeper 4LG, get rip to do you too.
well, hair lick anyway
morning, all.
Barry, that's sad. Your decision si going to be tough, and Zoey needs to get more out of life than tubes. I wish I knew anything to tell you.
I may make sure my physicians' directive is updated soon.
The same sort of life is going on for my ex right now, and my son has concluded that he's really showing what they'd been afraid of, that he's lost the power to make decisions. And is showing other signs of what he's now calling 'senility' - but the doctors have already guessed there's been brain damage.
My Guiness is better than your Murphys?

No question on that one!

Just no eat.

Dunno. But definite case of the slanties you've caught.
and morning Ruth. Still can't make it to the WaPo without a proxy.
Reading upthread, Maggie the elephant is good news. You know, there are actually signs here that Fluffy and Cleocatra are beginning to get along. Yesterday she pranced up to him and both of them perked up, then she shied away. But playfulness is great, and there was no hostility or hissing. Yay!
The admin here has been doing its islamofascist number, in the Holy Land Foundation trial, essentially losing by trying to prove charitable donations 'enabled' Hamas by replacing monies it would have otherwise have had to spend on good works, so they could fund terrorism. and all of this before Hamas had been blacklisted by our gov't. Didn't go over.
CK...
We need to find a one week job for Jeroen's #2 son, just one week, doing anything.
Part of his school, English immersion class.
I'm not really sure he wants to send Boz to Alaska or not, but anywhere in the US for just one week.
Freaking US schools would never send anyone to Amsterdam... noooooo.

It's amazing what reliance on coal will do when you actually have a manufacturing base.
Tom, to protect Fred. Too much rational tho'ts and his head explodes. Yesterday he was for appointing Mukasey and protecting the country from him by passing a law against torture! (see my homepage for comment on that) there's so much screwy about that it's creepy.
el Jefe went to China during a big eclipse event, couldn't see it for the pollution. the Olympics are going to be interesting.

Not to be typical american kid, that's the deal.
he does one job, get fully immersed in the language.
I think good idea, and am gonna work on it. Wasn't planning on Dutch visitors this year, but, yea, I could deal with it easily.
That is if I ever clean up my house.
yah! We have to pass a law against torture to make sure we know that torture is wrong and the AG should oppose it. *gasp* That's stupid in a pud/hat sort of way.

Shorter Mucasky for ya.
Barry you reminded me of a time when I picked up my son from suburban D.C. and drove up to our remote area here in N.TX, he tho't something was wrong, it was so dark at night. Hadn't been away from city lights in that long.
Who has seen the 2006 veresion of "Why We Fight"?
Mukasey is 'as good as we're going to get' from the occupied WH - that seems to be the grounds for approving him from most supporters I;ve heard. He's already said the executive doesn't have to follow the law.
Finally untrained the spell checker to stop recommending "Supreme Court Justice Harriet Miers" the other day.

and the WaPo seems to have a story up on Blackwater gaining a sister organisation, Total Intelligence Solutions, which looks like all the CIA and DoD operatives so crooked and depraved they got chased from office by the Busheviks.
Tom, a Harpers article on Mukasey's interview to see if he would be bad enuff for the WH - seems he agreed not to appoint any independent investigator. It's in comments at correntewire - I'll go get a link if you want to read it.

Doug, right now we gotta get them out of high office all over the D.C. system, it may take years to get the gov't operational again. I'd like to see prosecution for war crimes for all of them, the death and destruction they inflicted on the world are worse than what they've done here at home - tho we're going to be dealing with wounded vets who are going to need a whole lot of help - hopefully our economy will recover.

At WaPo, great comment on a proposal to turn a part State into contractors/mercs, to the effect that State was shut out of planning for war in Iraq, or it wouldn't have been waged. now they're supposed to die there? And insurance is shut down for personnel in combat zones, I hadn't known that.

Not to worry, QL...Ruth and I will now make you exist again.
Can a recall realistically be mounted for Feinstein?
Even if time mutes the effort, she will end her career in disgrace and it will serve notice on the rest of the LieberDems.
I love the term "mensch," the notion that someone could be so decent that they become a "real person."
Reminds me of Little Big Man, where the tribe referred to itself as the Human Beings.
Barry, I thiink about you and Zoey a lot. I wish you the very best, whatever that turns out to be. I hope you let me know if there's anything I can do to help. You've got my email.
I know you are a giving person and do not take help easily. But, please remember how much I care.
Good morning. A fabulous day in store. Weather wise.
I do believe that Mukasey will be a better AG than Abu. But that's not saying much.
I shall proceed to mow my lawn today. I've never done that in November. Leaves are mostly still on the trees. Gonna be about 60 degrees.

Alas, some of those comments were amazingly stupid, and comments are now closed, so I can't resepond.
Mucousy will not be an AG, he will be a tool, I'm afraid. Our standards have been so much more than just lowered, they have been compromised to a very sad and terrible point. Every damn thing is politicized within an inch of its literal life under this maladministration.
I do believe that Mukasey will be a better AG than Abu. But that's not saying much.

Sorry, but he is still "Party above Country" and will not serve all the people.
Mukasey will have a hard time filling all the vacancies at DOJ. Who wants a job for a year? I don't think he will be as bad as Abu, but he will be ineffective. Maybe that's good.
I'm also sick of the Occupation being called a "war". It's not a fucking war.
Sorry if my evening-style comment (swearing) offends you morning peeps.
But, damn.
Swearing only bothers me if it is directed at me.

but he can, I believe be effective in shutting off all avenues that might be used to prosecute Bush et al. That'll be enough.
I don't fucking care if you swear.
Bob Herbert has a cautionary tale about an uninsured "carpenter extraordinaire" who died from brain tumors he could not afford to have treated.
Bush will never be prosecuted by any AG. Too many people would have to admit they were wrong. Not gonna happen. The best we can hope for is that some of these asswipes will talk openly after he is gone and that people will learn from that and never elect another moron like him.
Sarah, shutting off avenues to prosecute the occupied WH criminals may not work, there's a world court that could go after war criminals. Which is why this admin refused to accept its jurisdiction.
He has a long history on the bench and does, in fact, believe in the Constitution. I just don't think he will be as bad as everyone else apparently does.
It's fucking okay, Sarah. Your amongst friends, for fuck's sake.
What bugs me is that it is occupation that is desperately pushing for colonialism, which is so 19th Century.

Loyal to Kerik, Giuliani Missed Warning Signs
In December 2004, President Bush nominated Mr. Kerik, a former New York police commissioner, to head the federal Department of Homeland Security. Seven days later, Mr. Kerik withdrew as a nominee.
A cascade of questions followed about his judgment as a public official, not least that he had inappropriately lobbied city officials on behalf of Interstate Industrial, a construction firm suspected of links to organized crime. Mr. Giuliani defended Mr. Kerik, a friend and business partner, whom he had recommended to the Bush administration. But he also tried to shield himself from accusations that he had ignored Mr. Keriks failings.
I was not informed of it, Mr. Giuliani said then, when asked if he had been warned about Mr. Keriks relationship with Interstate before appointing him to the police post in 2000.
Mr. Giuliani amended that statement last year in testimony to a state grand jury. He acknowledged that the city investigations commissioner, Edward J. Kuriansky, had told him that he had been briefed at least once. The former mayor said, though, that neither he nor any of his aides could recall being briefed about Mr. Keriks involvement with the company.
But a review of Mr. Kurianskys diaries, and investigators notes from a 2004 interview with him, now indicate that such a session indeed took place. What is more, Mr. Kuriansky also recalled briefing one of Mr. Giulianis closest aides, Dennison Young Jr., about Mr. Keriks entanglements with the company just days before the police appointment, according to the diaries he compiled at the time and his later recollection to the investigators.
Tweety will never have folks on to discuss this. Rudy is getting a pass from the MCM.
Sarah, I've been known to swear once or twice myself. 
Ralphie, I always mow my leaves into the lawn sometime around xmas, but of course it usually gets in the 80's here in December for a few days.
Unca Smokes, 'you make me real' works.
I don't imagine rapturous audiences paying money to hear Bush speak after he leaves office -- I expect the bubble will become quite small, surrounded by angry poor folk with overripe tomatoes in hand.
I guess it just fries me that Little Boots will be able to take his venal self off to Paraguay scot free as it were and never even look back at the enormous shit he has taken on his own country. Well, maybe I should amend that. Not his country. Just "a" country to him, I suppose.

A new contract for Blackwater: Keeping the rabble away from Citizen W's Babblepaloosa tour! Imagine the silent shootings that would ultimately come from such an arrangement--Hell's Angels with the Stones in Altamont comes to mind....
I really don't think Bush will retire outside of Texas. Too afraid to go abroad. I picture him in some gated community in Texas, surrounded by his loyal Texas buddies. He will not stay in Crawford.
I did a bad thing. I get a weekly email from cNet, and this time the guy was whining about having had the flu -- so I thoughtlessly dashed off a "Get a flu shot, moron" email, never thinking he'd respond. Well, he did, and rather miffed. I try to remember to always be kind, but I fuck up sometimes, dammit!
I'll start saving some tomatoes now. They should be just about rotten enough in January '09
buckeye, the comments on State really reflected a resentment against the elitist corps there, not uncommon in D.C. I just went there, and had to wait, but was let in for comments. Try again, and give it a long time, and I think you will get to comment.
okay, you fuckers, I'm gonna fucking go to fucking bed right fucking now. It's good fucking night to me, good fucking morning to you all.
Have a wunnerful fucking Saturday, okay?

Ralphie,
Heh, I was thinking he'd get a house on a golf course and speak only to carefully selected crowds inside the grounds.
So like now, basically.
Tomatoes are too noble a fruit for the C-i-C, I'd prefer something from underground, like turnips - and rotten potatoes are really horrible, too.
With any luck DiFi will get the email telling her how
upset I am with her support of Mukasey. Even when Moscone and Milk were killed, and she became Mayor of San Francisco, Di showed a fondness for cop drag and the Authoritarian.
I love getting up early enough to see the visitor count go from 4 to 20 in a short time...like getting up first and banging about the kitchen making breakfast, and then the whole household blearily stumbles in. Mayhem ensues, and another beautiful day begins!

He'll 'command' a $200,000 honorarium per appearance and get as many of these gigs as his willing to attend. A lot of very wealthy people owe much of their wealth to him. Many others (less wealthy) will pay $2,000 to eat a 'hot dog' under the same roof as him too.

Too bad America invests most of it's money in war and weapons. Education would pay much bigger and safer returns.
Who can't have toast? You can get something without wheat these days too, great bran and milo 'n other grains.

Crap...sorry to hear about that, Ralphie...must make the grocery store trip an adventure in doing without.
No Krogers around here. I did check out the gluten-free store. Bread is about $8.00/loaf. Don't think I wan't that habit.

Just now, shallots; which I've never mastered, are at their largest and best, it looks like. So I took the plunge and bought 2 nice ones and a pound of scallops and some clever atriots gave me some good recipes to inspire me.....
Celiac disease is a pain, but getting on the diet is great for you.
Me, I'm researching metabolic syndrome diets this morning, after Thers and I both got a Talking To from our doctor.
WTF is wrong with Feinstein and Schumer?
With the Mukasey nomination hanging by a thread, these two Dems abandon their Party and common sense and vote the Bushboy nominee out of committee.
I guess it's ok for an AG to ignore waterboarding and other violations of law by the Executive branch, according to these two Dem Senators.
Schumer's a weird bird. Sometimes I thing he does what he does to stay in the headlines.
Shumer always liked the guy, put him up, actually; but DiFi is a stinker!

Ruth - interesting piece Senator Akaka wrote for sure.
The bit about making our recent Veterans 'more qualified' - than say my Dad (who fought in Chosin), my uncle (who is still MIA from Vietnam) tends to really piss me off.
Seems as if they feel guys like me (no war service) are of no consequence. Funny, I still recall reading the MSDS sheets on the synthetic fluids we used, a few of them I distinctly recall causing autoimmune disorders, like, rheumatoid arthritis.
Fuck them all in the ass with a red hot poker.
I ofetn wonder if I have an undiagnosed condition like a celiac disease. I am somewhat underweight, and have recurrent episodes of abdominal pain that I always just chalked up to gallstones.
Maybe I ought to get tested more thoroughly.
Of course, I'm 37 now so I suppose regular visits to my doctor should be instituted anyway.
I can eat corn and rice. It seems that all the cereal manufacturers put wheat products in their corn flakes and rice crispies. I wonder if that's necessary.
Rudy, I hate it that Dems are voting for Muckey, but expect that what the other options are is pro'ly scarier than I wanna find out about.
I have the morning's whine, this time getting into the profane, over at cabdrollery - that I am not spoonfeeding my troll. I think it's the Dallas one. But no, I'm not going to go cut and paste from the article I referred it to and make it happy.

Ruth,
Bushboy's threat was to not have an AG for the rest of his term. Perhaps that is worse than having Mucky in there. It's just that the Dems are seen as caving in to that depraved moron in the WH so often, it gets depressing.
Gee, SteveNS, according to wingnut fantasy, you guys are forced to go to the doctor and wait six months every time and eat mandatory bean sprouts.
Portia, the NYT is really gunning for Guiliani, 2 big exposes of his character.
When Guiliani was setting Kerik up, gave him "the kiss", Kerik reported he felt like he was being made, mafia style. Guiliani totally ignored the graft.
The other article his misstatements comparing British to Democrat plan health care.

Yes, it would. If untreated it does lead to a higher incidence. There is a history of it in my family, too.
Mukasey will not ignore waterboarding. He'll study the legal memos prepared by John fucking Yoo and I'm betting will find them lacking in precedent and rational thought. He has said he finds water boarding repugnant. For some reason I;m just not too worried about the guy.
I wish I could go to my doctor (sigh). I'd love to try Byetta. That "4x more people are able to meet their blood-sugar goals than those not taking Byetta" statistic is awfully compelling.

I was diagonosed with sorta high cholesterol. Became a healthy low cholesterol foods only Nazi for 6 months. Went back got tested - no change. Starting talking Lipitor within 3 months I had a 40% drop in my numbers.

Calphalon is pretty good. I got a set through a friend who is retired from Newell-Rubbermaid. I, like Barndog, prefer cast iron for most things.
The video of the guy getting waterboarded at HuffPo gave me nightmares last night.
[Damn Haloscan scripts, gotta do this fun bit with Woody Allen and Diane Keaton in Love and Death in two parts]
Boris: If, by some miracle, I'm not killed tomorrow, would you marry me?
Sonja: What do you think the odds are?
Boris: To die before the harvest...the crops, the grains. Fields of rippling wheat. Wheat. All there is in life is wheat.
Sonja: Sonja, here's your chance to do something kind for a dying boy. But I don't really love Boris. I mean, I love him, but I'm not in love with him.
Boris: Oh, wheat! Lots of wheat! Fields of wheat. A tremendous amount of wheat!

Boris: Yellow wheat. Red wheat. Wheat with feathers. Cream of wheat.

Here is an interesting fact.

Now there are about thirty states where over a quarter of the population is having trouble seeing their shoes!! So it could turn out that the Bush years will be known as the "Bloat Years" or perhaps "The Reign of Fat" in future history books.

I expect the numbers in the article are correct and don't dispute them. I think the ranking of the motives for eating fast food are out of order though. The author mentions 'convenience' as contributing. My point is that I rank convenience as the prime motivator. Second - that fast food is laced with addictive tasty sugars and fats and thirdly - price which is less relevant when most McDonald's now accept credit cards.

'Contact', imagined an intelligence of such magnitude that it could encode a message in the ttranscendental expansion of pi.
why do smarties have to be complicated? i blame laziness and arrogance
ethnic stores are better than american stores: at least goya has a large selection of legumes (mostly from mexico
they don't have ethnic stores either they have corner markets which are really liquor stores

today i break out the tool that i love so much that drives other liberals nuts: the leaf blower.
yeah, baby.

Do you turn on a lawn sprinkler and let it run all night too?
Spartacus is on in the other room, and every time I go over there to watch it I break out in giggles.
Talking to Tony Curtis:
"What do you do."
"I am a singer of songs."
(Just love the faux-ancient dialogue. "Singer of songs" indeed.)
"i hate leaf blowers."
heehee. see what i mean?
"i hate leaf blowers. i was back in the mountains the other week and someone was clearing the lane of his camp. gar."
Because Mother Nature is so untidy.
It looks like a fun-filled day weatherwise for coastal New England (and further inland too).

i'm always shocked by the amount of food people eat out. how can they afford it?
The Print Shop Has a Template for a half-fold Thanksgiving Card that said "God Bless You." I like the card, so I already saved it saying just "Bless You."
"Do you turn on a lawn sprinkler and let it run all night too?"
no. in other ways i'm a good liberal.
i just loves me some leaf blower.
I hate leaf blowers. BUt you know what I hate even more? Twelve straight fucking hours of raking, which is what greeted me when I moved into my house in 2002. I got the electric kind so I wasn't coughing bad stuff into the air, but man I hated raking.
I grew up on a farm. Leaves fell, and then the blew into the fields. Raking done.

That is really true here. Check cashing and food stamp fraud, also,
Geht es gut -- und dir?

i hate leaf blowers.
me too, but try having a couple giant oak trees line your driveway and see whether you think the same way: in spring it's their pollen sacks, in summer it's tiny branches and tons of acorns, in fall it's leaves...the blower works best on the driveway (i never use it elsewhere)
Or too poor to eat properly.

Things could have been different at one time. One twitch in history could have brought us "The Texas Leaf Blower Massacre".

He's a comedy genius. I first saw him about 15 years ago and chatted
with him a few times off stage. He's the kind of guy you root for.
Big Butter Jesus (as noted by Sinfonian) is also fucking hysterical.
we mow over and collect our leaves and make them into mulch. no fuss no muss.
Leaf Blowers move a mess someplace else, they clean NOTHING.

"If you start doing that now, the leaves are going to expect that all the time."

I had an acre and a half of yard when I lived in Michigan. I ended up mowing/mulching the leaves. Raking? Not only do I hate it, but I couldn't imagine doing it in that kind of space.
In Florida, not so much raking ...
"I got the electric kind so I wasn't coughing bad stuff into the air, but man I hated raking."
i don't mind raking, but my back does. if i was to rake, i'd spend a day raking and 7 on my back.

He shoots 'em, He saves 'em.
"Bite the Dust" with new meaning.
gotta get smething done besides Jesus gags. l8r.
I thought about making a joke about "leif blower," but that would be creepy.
I would personally leave the leaves to rot, but that doesn't, you know, foster good feeling among the neighbors.
This is why we're so buying a condo when we move back to the States.
If Therma-Care Heat Wraps weren't a one-use throw-away waste of resources, I'd consider them.

My next door neighbor, who I like to call "Lawn Boy" breaks out his leaf blower at 8:30 in the morning on Saturdays.
i don't mind raking, but my back does.
For me, it's the blistered hands.
I'm delicate-like.
In our case, the leaf blower moved the leaves to the street, where the county came along and sucked the mess into a big mulching truck. Done.
Last of October, first of November, there always seems to come a windstorm or a rainstorm that gets the last of the leaves off the trees and blows them madly about. Winter announcing itself, definitively.
At least I get an extra hour's sleep tomorrow...
Big Butter Jesus (as noted by Sinfonian) is also fucking hysterical.
watertiger
It's funny because I'd driven by Big Butter Jesus (also known as "MC 62-Ft. Jesus") very soon before that song came out.
Also, did you know there's a snarky website devoted to the giant Jesus? It's a riot.
they don't have ethnic stores either they have corner markets
i live in a 'real' town that has plenty of low-income folks - we have lots of liquor stores, but we still have the asian and puerto-rican markets in the poor neighborhoods: those markets are best...matter of fact in my town, low-income folks cannot walk to a mcd's or any other fast food - they can walk to the grocers
Of course the weather channel has some mook out on Montauk Point getting blown around.
leaves are going to become a hot commodity in not too long. a good source of carbon for this and that.
Cheap, stretchy gloves have come a long way in the last few years.
Big Butter Jesus (as noted by Sinfonian) is also fucking hysterical.
If you attend one of his shows, you'll alternate between uncontrollable laughter and staring in rapt amazment at material like that.
He has a soft satirical bite, but it's still a bite.
Just love the guy.
So I take it the anti-leaf blower coalition is right there with me and my negative feelings about power washers.
I despise them. A good portion of this my neighborhood seems to be populated with a bunch of retirees or near so. They fill in their remaining days washing their walks for hours and hours.
He shoots 'em, He saves 'em.

Leafs, smeafs - I have massive black walnuts. I go around every weekend with a 5 gallon bucket and one of those long pistol grip gizmos with the fingers at the end and pick up and pile up black walnuts all day long.
"My next door neighbor, who I like to call "Lawn Boy" breaks out his leaf blower at 8:30 in the morning on Saturdays."
now that's just uncool.

Back when I lived on the farm, we had walnut trees. Nothing was better for me as a reckless yout' than to hit a walnut with the lawn mower and send into some building.
Yeah, another thing we didn't worry about ...
same chupacabra thread? wow
Of course the difference between a journalist and a detainee being waterboarded is the journalist knows he/she won't die therefore it is NOT the same thing.

Do you think if they just used some file footage of said "mook" during a previous storm, anyone would notice or complain?

When I lived in Oregon, our backyard had hazelnut trees and they were the messiest trees ever. The tree dropped stuff three times a year and raking up the dropped nuts was really difficult as there were millions of them and they were really heavy once you raked them into a pile.
Of course, we also ate a lot of them, but you had to be careful. I didn't spray them, so one out of three had a worm in it.
Still, the corporate grocery chains in the Bay Area
(Safeway is HQ'd in Pleasanton, iirc) have huge charity departments that will bring a semi of stuff with a valid request.

The End is Nigh for TUCKER:
Tonight, as he was signing off, MSNBC's Tucker Carlson closed by saying, "That does it for us. Thank you for watching as always, we mean that sincerely to all eight of you. We'll be back Monday. Up next, "Hardball" with Chris Matthews. Have a great weekend."

Because he alienated his other three viewers when he said it?
I remember seeing Anderson Cooper foolishly out in a hurricane along the Intracoastal in 2004. Of course, the fact that he was situated across the street from my wife's office lent a certain startling realism to the image.

One campus retaurant has 'Price Is Right' on one of their TVs everyday. College kids love the show. So Drew Carey now hosts the show. Like Tucker he may be pissing off the management by his comments.
"Just what the World was waiting for - a telephone that looks like a motorcycle", or "Our model is doing the hardest part of her job, walking AND carrying a price tag"
I think they need to talk to him.

On Morning Joe, Larry Kudlow asserted that "on the campaign trail, Democrats trashing this economy, talking about raising taxes across the board are totally, utterly missing the boat here." In fact, the leading Democratic candidates for president have all proposed economic plans that include some tax cuts.

There are reports that the transmission of the private television channels have been terminated in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi.
On this occasion, an important meeting of the Supreme Court Bar Association has been held in which it has been decided to strictly resist the imposition of martial law or emergency by the government.
It has also been decided in the meeting that any extra-judicial and extra-constitutional action will be strongly defied.
