I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Newt or Mittens!
Hello.
Who better to succeed a candidate who dumped his first wife after she became deformed in a car wreck than one who dumped his first wife while she was in the hospital with cancer?
heh indeed.
Newt or Mittens!
Newtens!
Mario saved the princess already?
Newty Mittens! Augghhhh.....
Mewt?
Republicans are left with candidates that make Hitler look good.
Older generation here, but goddamn, I'm happier than I've been in the last eight years.
I lived to see a black American elected as President. What a nice feeling.
Three most beautiful words of the victory. The Supreme Court.

I thought they were, "President-Elect Obama".
Mitt Romney is off on a Caribbean cruise with influential conservative leaders.
Mandate overboard!
Romney, Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee are stepping up to help Sen. Saxby Chambliss' runoff campaign in Georgia. Huckabee is poised to kick off a national book tour ... in Iowa.
Huckabee wrote a book?
I was not so much euphoric following Obama's victory than I was relieved. I do not expect miracles - but at least I know that every single fucking day will not be fouled and trashed.
Newt Gingrich can bring us back to the fond days of the 90's when he railed against the clenis(TM) while he was cheating on wife #2 with a staff assistant with hummers on the office desk. She was so good at them, that she became wife #3.
Yes, let's have us some Newtie.
our potus will save our scotus!
And isn't it just great to feel like laughing again?
gingrich the newt! get him into position NOW so we can rip him till the cows come home and prove him to be the antichrist
From below:
Heard on my NPR today that Obama is part O'Bama.
How else do you think he carried South Boston?

Actually, there is a village in Ireland that was all thrilled about him running for president.
His Mom's side of the family apparently had some folks from there.
I thought they were, "President-Elect Obama".

They're interchangeable.
Oh, you meant the Republicans. Nevermind.

She must have one hell of a gag reflex, and I don't just mean the type that is useful in giving hummers.

By 2012, he'll be on his 4th or 5th marriage.
The 'pukes can run him with Rudy 911.
The adulterers ticket.
Newt was the shining star of the Right wing, once upon a time. Then he ran into Bill Clinton.
I'd like to see Bill O'Really try a run against Al Franken (after Al wins the recount of course). No one else seems to be confronting the national menace of pink pistol packing lesbians.
He could also threaten to send Roger Ailes over to peoples' houses to GOTV!

Mittens would seem to be The Next One, as they do, at this time. Things could change, I guess. Obama would target Mizzou and Georgia in addition to his current load. Would Mittens take back Nev, Col, and NM somehow?
I can't wait to see the look on Orrin Hatch's face when he finds out William Ayers is nominated for a SCOTUS position
BTW, I noted that we finally put the specter of Vietnam behind us in yesterday's PaxLive...

Not that I've heard but I bet he said something trivial today.

recycled rethugs like about like we need two penises. we need to see someone on the Rethug ticket in 2012 from Oklahoma. Maybe Imhofe will run for prez. He'd be in charge of cleaning Dems soiled underwear for a while, then elevate himself to showtune singer at parties thrown by Lieberman
Forgive them, FSM, for they know not who they chew.

In serious conversations among Republicans since their election debacle Tuesday, what name is mentioned most often as the Moses, or Reagan, who could lead them out of the wilderness before 40 years?
To the consternation of many Republicans, it is none other than Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House.
Moses is Reagan is Newt.
I can see it.
Yes, let's have us some Newtie.
I wanna see him shut down the government again.
The tagline at his Web site reads: Real Change Requires Real Change.

Darn Tootin' Doin' the Big PIG NEWTON, the big PIG NEWTON
in some seriousness, i don't forget (already) the rethug primary process this year. the Village gets very excited about folk who, at crucial moments, fuck it up so badly that they tank beyond all expectation and money, leaving also-rans and has-beens as 'front runner.' who then go and elevate unheard of nobodies to the national stage, and leave them poised to at least suck down a goodly portion of donor money in doomed to fail campaigns.
all i'm saying is that it's way to early to tell, and i'd be very surprised if what sounds good to them now, will be the same in say, 2.75 years. the narrative moves too quickly to know. i mean, who could've predicted that none of the nov 08 voters would care about illegal immigration, less than a year ago?
Is Haloscam Republican? I would think it wouldn't be so cranky anymore now that the election is over.

Catching up on a dead thread -- Basketball is v. popular in the midwest, but softball is even more popular. Some towns have leagues for men, women, and children, and on a summer Sunday afternoon, everyone in town is playing. (Me, I'm happy to sit in my lawn chair off to one side & drink beer while cheering on whoever looks like they need it.)
Chicago has a unique form of softball that involves a 16" ball and no mitts. That big mushball, even when traveling in a line-drive smash, goes slow enough that you can set down your beer without spilling any as you go over to catch it.
I'd like to see President Obama introduce the country to Chicago-style softball.

Forward in spring; dark later at night.
Back to normal in fall; dark earlier at night. Which is normal.
I make this promise to those die-hard republicans out there:
If President Obabma lies us into a war, engages in warrantless wiretapping, authorizes torture, borrows our economy into the toilet, removes regulations that are in place to protect the people and the environment, thwarts democracy via crooked voting machines and purging of the voter roles, and pisses all over the Bill of Rights, I will cease to support him and will become an outspoken critic.
I promise.

The FDIC oversees 8,451 institutions with $13.3 trillion in assets, and insures deposits of up to $250,000 per depositor per bank and the same amount for some retirement accounts. The agency has proposed doubling premiums charged to banks for coverage, to replenish its reserves amid agency forecasts that bank failures through 2013 will cost almost $40 billion.
The FDIC in August said 117 banks were classified as "problem'' in the second quarter, a 30 percent jump from the first quarter. The agency, which doesn't name "problem'' lenders, will update its assessment this month.
Bet bank failures will cost more than $40 billion.

Transition advisers to President-elect Barack Obama have compiled a list of about 200 Bush administration actions and executive orders that could be swiftly undone to reverse the president on climate change, stem cell research, reproductive rights and other issues, according to congressional Democrats, campaign aides and experts working with the transition team.
A team of four dozen advisers, working for months in virtual solitude, set out to identify regulatory and policy changes Obama could implement soon after his inauguration. The team is now consulting with liberal advocacy groups, Capitol Hill staffers and potential agency chiefs to prioritize those they regard as the most onerous or ideologically offensive, said a top transition official who was not permitted to speak on the record about the inner workings of the transition.

This is cheering. Coleman looks worried.
Republican Sen. Norm Coleman sought an injunction to stop the opening and counting of 32 absentee ballots in Minneapolis, according to a copy of the court documents filed today provided to the Pioneer Press by Democrat Al Franken's campaign.
...According to the injunction filed by the Coleman campaign, 32 of those ballots cast by absentee voters shouldn't be tallied because they were not opened on Election Day.
Minnesota voting rules dictate that all absentee ballots must arrive by Election Day in order to be counted — any ballots received after Nov. 4 of their year do not count.
According to the Franken campaign, Ramsey County held a hearing on the Coleman campaign's request to toss those ballots this morning and a judge rejected the request.

Consider getting a blower-mulcher. It blows and it sucks, so you can shred leaves and use them as mulch. I have a Black & Decker that works pretty well.
I have never had either an inner or an outer housewife (and now I cannot even marry one, darn it) but I was prepared to get some big-time scrubbing done today. First step was taking two loads of wash down to the apartment laundry room. Amazingly, it was empty, so the wash got started okay. But I noticed that one of the empty machines is broken and filled with water.
Now: my neighbors, a good 75% of them, seem to be deeply stupid, because even though the 800 repair number is right there on the wall, I never know if anyone's been called. Either the user leaves a lame note saying "Machine is broken do not use", or no note at all. See, all you have to do is write "Machine is broken do not use I called repair today at noon". (My favorite note is "call repair". No, fuck-wit, you call: I am not your mommy.)
So I left the appropriate note, took down the machine number to call it in when I got back to my apartment, called it in, got various messages that said to call back during regular business hours, and asked if I knew that I could contact them 24/7 via their handy dandy website?
Fuck. Yes, of course I did it, and the website was easy to navigate. But how do I get away from the damn keyboard now?? I wish I could quit y'all, but I cain't. Who is going to do all that scrubbing now?
I've kinda missed the news the last few days.
Spent Thursday night in St. Ignace, Friday in Marquette, and partying Friday night in Munising. I had a hotel room in Munising for about $ 25.00.

Oh, well, LSU put up a good game. There's a reason why those guys are Numero Uno.
There's a review, but trust me on this, it's an Alabama victory.
Hello peeps,

One can never be unhappy with a Stihl.
Always look at what the pros are using.
Hey, jdw, don't worry about it. LSU coulda won that, and Alabama deserves the victory.

U don't want a blower. U want a leaf vacuum. I bought my rotary and my electric mowers from these people. U'll like them. http://

The Stihl blower is excellent. Not horribly noisy, either.
If you're a Florida fan, you want Alabama to win. Florida's best hope for a championship game berth is to beat a top ranked, undefeated Alabama in the SEC title game.

Name? Model no? Now that I've planted all these extra trees, I don't think I can keep raking.
Why not just rake the leaves? Or pay a local kid to do it? Much greener, no?
(We pay a guy. Maybe more expensive than the blower, and certainly more expensive than my doing it, but...)
Can't you hire McCain to come over wave his rake on your lawn?
Hecate, we have one and I use it about once a year. Main thing is to have good ear protection...loud as hell.
I agree with Auntie. They are expensive though. I wanted this leaf vaccuum mulcher thing with a trash can lid attachment but it was out of my price range.
"So I think Reid's out, to be replaced by Hillary, and Hillary will execute the defenestration of Joe."
care to place a small wager? i can't bet much but i'd place a modest sum on that.

I've never made those, but reflecting on it, I'd say follow the mix exactly and then drop the cordial in the middle -- I think it should be fine (and it sounds delicious).
We should invent a two person leaf blower and/or sucker. It's powered by one person riding the exercise bike and the other person directing the blower. Might need to link two exercise bikes, though. But hey, fun for the whole family.
Why not just rake the leaves? Or pay a local kid to do it? Much greener, no?

But remember, Rahm is a Clintonista, through and through and through.
He may have been part of the deal.
Consider getting a blower-mulcher.
the problem with dual use machines is that they often, um, suck. not in the good way. they tend to do well with one function but not the other, much like rethug bottom closet cases.
hec, i have acess to CR, but i can't say i trust them. so far, they've steered my mom (the subscriber) wrong on 3/4 products she's bought according to their recs. i've had very good luck with Honda small engine products, fwiw. my neighbor and i both own the same blower model of stihl, and i'd say, depending on your lawn size, it's worth investing in a bagging mower if you don't want to do the annoying blow thing. of course, you pretty much need a blower if you break up the leaves by mowing, in any way at all, without bagging them. i tried, honest to Chuy i tried, to rake the small broken up kind, and goddess help me, my arms broke. you just can't do it, my friends.

Fair enough, O Hecate.
They found another 20,000 ballots in Alaska.
They have not updated their figures yet though since early Wednesday morning. Now there are about 90,000 ballots to count.
trifecta
Not surprising. The main discrepancies cited in articles about the low Alaska turnout were comparisons to 2004. An overlooked weirdness that there was an average 275 voters registering per day between the Primary and General Election--which amounts to something around 2/3 the population of Juneau.

Black & Decker 12-AMP Electric Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher #BV2500
I have about 4 inches of leaves covering the front area, I never rake & by spring theye all disappear, either wind blown or tramped into dust. Of course I don't have any neighbors to curse me.
Rahm's gonna be just fine.
Trust me. Driving around for 3 days with nothing but conservative talk radio to listen to: their collective heads were exploding over the appointment of the very partisan Rahm.
My biggest complaint about Rahm is DLC, but that's another story. I'll willingly give Obama benefit of the doubt at this juncture.
Plus, there is so much wheeling and dealing behind the scenes that sometimes, you just gotta trust.
I'd kind of like to see Jesse Jackson, Jr. appointed to Obama's senate seat, but I'm concerned that the fact that his dad is a polarizing figure may create a roadblock to that appointment.
I'm just petty enough to think that the more petulant and childish the trolls and wingnuts get about this election, the happier I am.
I can't believe you people call yourselves DFHs. Leaf blowers suck.
That is all.
I love electric leaf blowers. I don't own one, but when I house-sit sometimes I get to use them. They are loud, but I never do it on weekends (which is not an option for most folks, I know) or early in the morning or later in the evening. It is a laff riot. Oooh, how the leaves fly! Makes me feel like Babe herding sheep.
Hecate, we have one and I use it about once a year.

Leaf blowers are very annoying. Perhaps even more than car alarms.

Ms F, they can suck, but mostly they blow. I get leaves into piles and then load 'em into bins. Sometimes raking isn't feasible, like on driveways and decks, which can get slippy when leafy. And anyway, see above for my people-powered idea.

Welcome to the Bush Farewell Fuckover Tour
----
The Bureau of Land Management has expanded its oil and gas lease program in eastern Utah to include tens of thousands of acres on or near the boundaries of three national parks, according to revised maps published this week.
National Park Service officials say the decision to open lands close to Arches National Park and Dinosaur National Monument and within eyeshot of Canyonlands National Park was made without the kind of consultation that had previously been routine. ...
The tracts will be sold at auction on Dec. 19, the last lease sale before President Bush leaves office a month later. The new leases were added after a map of the proposed tracts was given to the National Park Service for comment this fall. The proximity of industrial activity concerns park managers, who worry about the impact on the air, water and wildlife within the park, as well as the potential for noise, said Michael Snyder, a regional director of the Park Service who is based in Denver.
The Park Service is usually given one to three months to comment on leases, Snyder added. "This is the first time," he said, "where we have not had sufficient opportunity to comment."

The finale is probably going to be honeying all the toilet seats in the White House on the morning of Inauguration Day.
Getting to be bit much for an old woman.
If you're concerned about physical strain, the Black & Decker probably isn't right. I only use it for mulching. It's electric, so needs a long extension cord; it gets heavy when the bag fills with leaves; you have to bend a lot to vacuum the leaves off the ground.
I mow the leaves into little pieces with the mulching mower and let them lie. Works for me.
Most neighborhoods should only have two or three leaf blowers. If we had any sense of community, we'd be sharing stuff like that.
I can't believe you people call yourselves DFHs. Leaf blowers suck.

My previous house, that was the case. The neighbourhood association had a lending tool library, things like mowers and blowers and power rakes and even shovels and hoes. Well worthwhile - it almost immediately resulted in everybody's property getting spruced up dramatically.
There are yard services around here that come to your house in a truck with a giant box on the back and a hose coming out. Suck up all the leaves and then drive away. Don;t know what it costs, but it takes them no time at all.

Same here. We live in the woods more less. I do rake the driveway sometimes. When it rains, the leaves get slick and I can't make it up the driveway unless the leaves are cleared.
There's someone in my nabe who uses her leaf blower at 6 in the morning. That's a little excessive.
Senor y Senora Tomas y Bebe Tomas take care of almost all the lawns on my street. They do it over the weekend, zoom-zoom. We care for them enough to make sure they're legal.

i do. i researched it. one large, gas guzziling dump truck, plus a dozen or so smaller trucks, tractors, blowers, the cost of fuel for mowers and back and forth across my 'hood for several dozen households, plus the space in a landfill, plus the artificial fertilizer to feed the lawns that won't be naturally mulched as a result...contrast this with my two days of using a leaf blower for what? 5 hours total? and the mower, again, for mebbe five hours total? subtract the energy it takes to ship the food i'll grow, which will replace foreign grown store bought, and the energy it takes to grow and ship that, which i'll share with every neighbor who agreed to have their leaves dumped on my lawn, which *i* processed, as much by hand as possible.
no, i'm satisfied i'm saving the planet here. the use of one small handheld tool for less than two days vs. huge quantities of waste, gas, energy, shipping, and unenvironmental refertilization? i win.

in truth, my dad lost a finger to a log splitter, and i've been shy of chainsaws, chippers, and other wood cutting devices ever since that scary childhood day. i pay wood professionals now, to manage my trees. i'd rather, and do, plant, than chop. i can barely use my tiny 16" wood saw for large branches without getting nervous. lorena bobbit, i am not.

Aw, that'd be a deal-killer for me (the center-hump; where else are you gonna carry a case of beer or 18lbs of cat litter?). The floorboards are tighter than you think on most of the 250cc bikes, yeah... but not uncomfortably so, once you get out and ride on it.

To-morrow, I must extract a damned fan palm that came in on the irrigation as a seed and now is at least 7' tall and interfering with the flow of the water to the side yard. I do not look forward to it - Senor Tomas tried to take it out last week and I made him give up 'cause it was so obviously going to take too much time. I may end up using a handsaw on it. The stuff that comes in on the irrigation is really annoying.

Whales may share our kind of intelligence, researchers say after discovering brain cells previously found only in humans and other primates.
They were touted as the brain cells that set humans and the other great apes apart from all other mammals. Now it has been discovered that some whales also have spindle neurons – specialised brain cells that are involved in processing emotions and helping us interact socially.

Nice piece by Scott Horton at The Daily Beast about how Smirkin' Bill Kristol's Monday-memo columns for the NYT seemed to be the product of leaks from the McCain campaign designed to boost Palin for 2012. After all, it was Billybob who discovered her while cruising in Juneau.
What emerges on a close reading is this: Palin and those closest to her inside the campaign were eager to wage a Lee Atwater-style campaign designed to demonize Barack Obama, with Palin as the figure leading the charge. McCain was resisting this push or at least attempting to keep it within tight boundaries. Kristol campaigned against the McCain strategy, boosting Palin.
On Wednesday, The New York Times reported rumors of Scheunemann’s firing, and quoted an anonymous McCain aide as saying Scheunemann was feeding a “constant stream of poison” to Kristol. Scheunemann denies he had been fired. But Scheunemann admitted to CNN that his email had been temporarily disconnected..
How did Kristol respond? Appearing on Fox News, Kristol protested his loyalty to John McCain and called the anonymous staffers who had criticized him “paranoid.” He explained that the campaign had started looking through staffers’ emails to see “who was allegedly leaking stuff, negative stuff.” Presumably, he means leaking to Bill Kristol.
As Horton says, Kristol's contract is up for renewal at the end of the year, and meddling in campaigns while acting like a disinterested commentator -- and trashing your employer in public -- suggests that the only reason to retain him is if you value a meddling, dishonest hack on the payroll.
The most amazing thing to me about the whole Caribou Barbie thing is that they thought they could get away with insulting the entire electorate that way.

HoneyBearKellyGoGiants
Particularly the FEMALE members of the electorate.
They really think we're all stupid.
I don't think they thought we were ALL stupid, but I think they were definitely counting on enough stupid people to outvote the ones who saw through it, and that the base would vote for her no matter what. I don't think they counted on the fact that their so much of their base would rebel against her.

I heard some talking head saying earlier today that they will dump this in Obama's lap, in which case he may want to appear forgiving and noble, and pardon the scummy little creep, to keep the numbers up and also not look vindictive.
McCain was resisting this push or at least attempting to keep it within tight boundaries.

And you peel them away from the GOP from issue to issue. You look for the GOPpers who are up for re-election in 2010 and squeeze them.
You also avoid cloture rules by going through reconciliation, especially now that Byrd has been eased out of his chair.
Remember, between 2004-6, there were just 55 GOPpers.

In that case, Joe's toast. Obama organised the 2004-6 new intake against the old-timers on both sides over ethics reform. You think that someone like Claire McCaskill, who has Blue Dog tendencies but worked herself solid on Obama's behalf, is going to cheer on the idea of Joe keeping his gavel? Fuck that for a lark. The senators who gave most of themselves to get Obama elected will not take kindly to a few old farts defending Joe the Ho. They have their own careers to think of.

Smoking song. Love the arrangement. Thanks.
Remember, Kristol took Safire's old spot.
For all his hackery (which I don't dispute) Safire remained deeply loyal to the paper. Kristol may have been hired for his connections, but what value are they now? Especially if there's a concerted desire to knife Palin, his little neocon project, before she begins a comeback.
Yes, there is. If Palin had genuinely been qualified, the election might have turned out quite differently.
