The biggest problem: when Palin came out onto the Wachovia Center ice Saturday night — greeted by resounding (almost deafening) boos from the Flyers crowd — the two hockey players who had no choice but to appear with her in that photo op were turned into props in a political campaign.

Men who practice kegel exercises are said to eventually unable multiple orgasms.
You learn to control your ejaculation, not just to delay it but to recycle it within yourself, so you also leave sex feeling refreshed instead of exhausted. The exhaustion of le petit mort is from all those vitamins and things being donated to a (possible) new life. Thing is you can separate orgasm (a matter of chemicals produced in the region of your coccyx and released under the right stimulus) from ejaculation (a muscular reflex you can eventually control, or not) without doing this, by simply continuing on at full steam (Desmond Morris observes this in Naked Ape) but this is kind of difficult for most people. There are all kinds of ways to fake your body out. Ressearch (Masters & Johnson and so forth) suggests there is a plateau you must get beyond, but of course this varies with individuals.

"My African-American colleague tells me that she's afraid that Obama won't survive till inauguration day,"
a co-worker had a conversation with his brother who is a doctor in oklahoma. he said among his colleagues, no one expects either mccain (health reasons) nor obama (guess) to survive a presidency. it's remarkable the number of people who are beginning to verbalize that thought.

Something that's really nice on that record that nobody ever talks about is Rick Wright's keyboard playing during "Time," specifically during Gilmour's solo and the "run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking" verse. My favorite part of the record.

I had an upstairs neighbor who blasted Yoko Ono on her bedroom stereo -- right above my bedroom, old brick apartment building, no concrete, no carpet -- late at night. The screeching carried right through the frame of the building and on into my walls & floor & ceiling. It was indescribable. Fortunately, the neighbor was amenable to desperate pounding on the ceiling with a broomstick.

If we end up with the Pelosi, Reid and Obama triumverate, we may lose our democracy entirely. Look for placement of democrat bureaucrats in positions where they determin the outcome of elections, and judges where they can see that the influence is unimpeded. Acorn will become a semi-official arm of the government, not subject to control by anybody. The DOJ will prosecute crimes against the state, and hate crimes will be designed to ensure that those who disagree with the government's agenda will be guilty of crimes against the state

Several party leaders said Mr. McCain needed to settle on a single message in the final weeks of the campaign and warned that his changing day-to-day dialogue — a welter of evolving economic proposals, mixed with on-again, off-again attacks on Mr. Obama’s character — was not breaking through and was actually helping Mr. Obama in his effort to portray Mr. McCain as erratic.

Interesting take from the Times of London With his electoral prospects fading by the day, Senator John McCain has fallen out with his vice-presidential running mate about the direction of his White House campaign.
McCain has become alarmed about the fury unleashed by Sarah Palin, the moose-hunting “pitbull in lipstick”, against Senator Barack Obama. Cries of “terrorist” and “kill him” have accompanied the tirades by the governor of Alaska against the Democratic nominee at Republican rallies.
Mark Salter, McCain’s long-serving chief of staff, is understood to have told campaign insiders that he would prefer his boss, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, to suffer an “honourable defeat” rather than conduct a campaign that would be out of character – and likely to lose him the election.

I asked him what the fuck happened and he said he was tripping on PCP over the weekend and just started hitting his thumb with a hammer for the hell of it because he couldn't feel anything.

This cracked me up
Palin remains far more popular than McCain with the Republican party base. He regularly has to endure the spectacle of members of the audience leaving for their cars when it is his turn to speak at joint rallies.
And the keen grasp her followers have of US politics and that Constitution thing: In Wilmington, Palin’s many admirers were in no doubt that she should run for president next time. Nancy Ross, a hairdresser, 45, said if the Republicans lost the election, she would be cheered up by the thought of Palin as the 2012 nominee.
“I would absolutely love her to run in four years’ time. By then most of her kids will be grown,” she said. “I’d like her to run against Hillary [Clinton]. She would squash her. She is a real person and we need people like her in Washington.”

The plan, from various governments, seems to be recapitalizing the banks.
Europe... http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/
ne...id=aEYvz8O9gCP8
The government may provide up to 100 billion euros ($134 billion) to recapitalize private banks, state banks and insurance companies, Handelsblatt reported today, citing unidentified officials involved in the negotiations.
``It's not nationalization in the sense that the state for a long period of time interferes with a bank, but rather state aid so that a bank has the ability to operate,'' Merkel said.
The European plan may mirror the U.K.'s decision this past week to inject 50 billion pounds ($85 billion) into banks, France's Le Figaro reported today. The 15 European heads of state and government might agree to ``massively recapitalize'' their banks and guarantee debts, it said.
Sarkozy declined to comment on details of the plan. He said he'll meet with U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown in Paris tomorrow ahead of the gathering of euro-region leaders.
``We've prepared a certain number of decisions which we will submit to our partners'' tomorrow, Sarkozy said.
French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde said leaders in Paris would discuss a U.K. proposal to backstop loans between banks, a measure G-7 officials shied away from copying.
``There will certainly be a debate because it's a very heavy technical measure,'' she told journalists in Washington today.
The German and French leaders were in Colombey-les-Deux- Eglises to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1958 meeting there of President de Gaulle and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.

Paulsen on the American plan...
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/ne...twHU&
refer=home
Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson indicated that pumping government funds into banks is a priority and said financial markets will remain volatile.
``We see the need -- a clear, present need -- to raise capital,'' Paulson said yesterday at a press conference after a meeting in Washington of finance ministers and central bankers from Group of Seven countries.
The purchases of stock, the newest part of a rescue plan engineered by Paulson, would be aimed at sustaining banks and other financial institutions through the worst credit crisis in seven decades.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When Bill and Hillary Clinton take the stage Sunday at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, it will be the launch of an active campaign for their former nemesis Barack Obama in the home stretch of the 2008 presidential race.
The nation's best known and most powerful Democrats for nearly two decades, the former first couple is getting used to a new role: cheerleaders for Obama, who vanquished Hillary Clinton last spring in a Democratic primary contest for the ages.
Whatever recriminations the Clintons may still harbor from that long battle seem to have been nudged aside as they campaign in earnest for the Democratic ticket.
The New York senator and the former president will appear with Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, at a rally Sunday in Scranton, a working class town that has assumed something of an outsize role in the presidential race.

The fact of the matter is that it seems that Paulsen has finally seen the light and is doing what he should have been doing in the first place, according to the likes of Krugman, Roubini and numerous other economists.
Fortunately, the language of the bill as passed gave him the option of switching away from the doomed to failure purchase shitpile outright plan. The money that would be used to recapitalize the banks is coming from the $700 billion bill.

This is one of the main facts that ordinary citizens around the world should take away from this crisis: the money to maintain, secure and improve the lives of their families and communities was always there -- but their governments, and their political parties, made a deliberate, unforced choice not to use it for the common good. Instead, they subjugated the well-being of the world to the dictates of an extremist cult. A cult of greed and privilege, that preached iron discipline to the poor and the middle-class, but released the rich and powerful from all restrictions, and all responsibility for their actions.
Sometimes my fingers, back and elbow hurt like hell. Those joints suck bad.

I think she REALLY thought she was going to get a hero's welcome from the Philadelphia crowd.
I think George Packer nailed Palin today:
What’s undeniably true is that Republican rallies and the incendiary language of party leaders are stirring up the darker, destructive mob passions that have a long history in American politics. At the very least, the Republican ticket is making sure that, if Obama wins, he’ll be regarded as an illegitimate and dangerous President by thirty or forty per cent of the country.
Palin is too shallow to understand the weapon she’s playing with; she’s just thrilled to be the birthday girl and the object of so much semi-erotic devotion. But McCain knows better
Karin Hussein: Um, is there such a thing as a bad joint?
Sure. One that's been rolled by an amateur that's seedy ditchweed.

Fortunately, the language of the bill as passed gave him the option of switching away from the doomed to failure purchase shitpile outright plan. The money that would be used to recapitalize the banks is coming from the $700 billion bill.

Well, I guess the flexibility would be a good thing, in the hands of a non-thief.

"the Republican ticket is making sure that, if Obama wins, he’ll be regarded as an illegitimate and dangerous President by thirty or forty per cent of the country."
that's another myth exploded - the idea that the president is the president of the whole country. Bush killed it but it took a beating as far back as carter.
people called carter the peanut and the teeth and such then demanded we be respectful of OUR president reagan. I don't know we'll ever get back the idea that someone is everyones president.
if 70% of the country is for Obama it'll be more than Bush (or clinton) had.

Sara - a youngish teacher who emulates her teaching style after me and my next door neighbor, Ben, who wants to be like me - I have no idea why, I don't even want to be like me most of the time. At any rate Ben graduated from an Ivy League School and is casting about for something to do until his writing career takes off ( I have warned him about this.) He is writing for the local newspaper and doing some teaching and now he has decided to run a faux campaign for president.
Well, if you are the least bit curious. (it is humorous)

WASHINGTON -- As the economy worsens and Election Day approaches, a conservative campaign that blames the global financial crisis on a government push to make housing more affordable to lower-class Americans has taken off on talk radio and e-mail.
Commentators say that's what triggered the stock market meltdown and the freeze on credit. They've specifically targeted the mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which the federal government seized on Sept. 6, contending that lending to poor and minority Americans caused Fannie's and Freddie's financial problems.
Federal housing data reveal that the charges aren't true, and that the private sector, not the government or government-backed companies, was behind the soaring subprime lending at the core of the crisis.
I think the first one was okay. I haven't heard it in a long time. Another that was really good and it seems nobody else ever heard of it was a project Mark Isham had that put out, I think maybe only one or maybe two albums, called Group 87. The self-titled lp was really neat. I never found it on CD, haven't heard it in years.

Well, I'm a Holdsworth-head. I ran his first "internet fanzine/e-mail digest," and later, first website, for years.
I even hung out with him, a few times.

No one has disproven a connection between young KGB officer Putin and POW McCain in Hanoi.
Holdsworth even gave me a guitar (and I gave his wife a check for it, later, after Allan passed out).

I might make some ravioli and soup too.
Mom's squash plants went crazy this year, she says this was the most she ever got. There were 44 total. I loaded a bunch in yesterday before I left, mom came out and made me take more.
Oh, and I don't think I told you guys, I harvested the last of her beets; one of them was over 3 lbs.

Also Madhur Jaffrey has a great recipe for squash fritters. Too lazy to type it up now, but basically it's the raw grated winter squash, mung bean sprouts, minced scallions, a couple eggs and a little flour to hold it together. You fry them in oil, like potato latkes, and serve them with a soy/sesame type dipping sauce.
It's really, really, good.

NYT:
In Pennsylvania, Robert A. Gleason Jr., the state Republican chairman, said he was concerned that Mr. McCain’s increasingly aggressive tone was not working with moderate voters and women in the important southeastern part of a state that is at the top of Mr. McCain’s must-win list.
“They’re not as susceptible to attack ads,” Mr. Gleason said. “I worry about the southeast. Obama is making inroads.”
They're no longer susceptible to Rupublikkkan hate spew.

You can substitute baked winter squash for the pumpkin in this recipe, but make sure the squash is dry enough-not watery. It has to be a similar thick consistency to the canned puree.
Pumpkin Cake 2 c. sugar 1¼ c. vegetable oil
1½ c. canned pumpkin puree
4 eggs 3 c. flour 2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
½ c. golden raisins
1 c. chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350°
Combine sugar, oil, and pumpkin puree, and mix well.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one.
Add dry ingredients.
Stir in raisins and nuts.
Grease a large tube pan, or two loaf pans. Bake for 1¼ hrs (until a knife comes out clean)
Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan.

I was already in BC so we never crossed paths. I lived in Toronto in the mid 80's and went to quite a few games. It was cheap to get tickets from scalpers after the game started, so we'd hang around until midway through the 1st period then go in.
I can't get Canucks tickets for less than $250. So I don't go.

I lived in Toronto in the mid 80's and went to quite a few games.
One of the first NHL games I ever saw was in February 1985 (I was visiting my older brother who lived in Toronto at the time).
The Edmonton Oilers vs. Toronto. Edmonton won 9-4. Gretzky had 7 points.
Probably the most memorable game I've seen was during the 1987 Canada Cup. Canada tied the Soviets 3-3 during the final game of the round-robin portion of the tournament, which was being held at Copp's Colliseum in Hamilton.
Gretzky and Lemieux on the same line. The greatest team ever assembled in the history of hockey.
