That was a righteous dead-threading if ever I've seen one ...
"There's tremendous pressure on Crist," said Ed Rollins, a top Republican strategist. "Crist has to deliver Florida. He gets tarnished if he doesn't. He needs to prove he has the same organization and ability to deliver the state that Jeb [Bush] had."
It's unlikely the affable and sunny Crist is feeling the heat. He always stays cool. Indeed, he's so conscious about the image that aides set up mini-fans for him at press-conference podiums so he doesn't perspire on camera.
Heh.
If Crist is the VP pick, I'll eat my hat. Ain't gonna happen. No way.

The free membership thing is huge. I was looking into getting a membership for a nonprofit I volunteer with, but the insurance required for a business membership and the monthly fees made it more cost-effective to just call Hertz whenever we needed a ride.
McCain will pick Jeb Bush as VP to guarantee florida.

Three reasons I don't see that happening:
1. The Bush name is garbage now.
2. Jeb! isn't as popular as you might think in Florida right now.

Sweet dreams, you lovely, liberal Moonbats.
I'm off all day tomorrow with the witches, so you'll have to count for me how few women appear on the bobbleheads.
When you go to sleep tonight, I hope that your sheets are soft, you bed is firm, and your sleeping companion is madly in love with you.
I hope that when you fall asleep you float across the nearest river on a wide and stable raft, that you see clouds that look like the shape of your dreams, and that you meet the one person you've been needing to see. I hope that you drink the bright green concoction in the crystal flask and talk at length with the odd person in the embroidered sash. I hope that you meet a fox who is secretly on your side and that the fungus with which tree roots communicate with each other is aligned with your dreamcause.
I feel so lucky to get to spend time with each one of you.

The arguments against Jeb largely assume that the voting public is rational.
I think we can pretty much safely assume that the voting public hates Bush at this point, to the tune of 77 percent of them or so.
In "Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight!" Robert Creamer offers strategies for creating a progressive movement that could inspire persuadable voters. He also presents tactics to engage a larger majority and promote messages in a way that he says can win campaigns in 2008. This event was hosted by the Alliance for a Better Minnesota and Americans United for Change in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
About the Author
Robert Creamer is a political consultant at Strategic Consulting Group, where he works on issue campaigns. He has also worked on numerous electoral campaigns at the local, state and national level. He is married to Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky from Illinois.
The arguments against Jeb largely assume that the voting public is rational.
I have no doubt that the irrational will flock to him, but those are the ones that would vote for McCain, anyway.
But, in Florida, as elsewhere, the public is coming back down to earth after the days of Bush's 90% popularity.
And, they're hitting the ground rather hard, too.

From below Thanks for the appreciation of my mad questioning skillz. You know I helped Dick Durbin with his questions before the Pet food Industry mouthpiece. It was very gratifying to be able to give him solid questions and follow up questions to ask.
People always use the line from lawyers "Don't ask any questions that you don't know the answer too." But this only half the battle with media trained executives.
If you know HOW he will answer then you can bust him on this answer. Sometimes you bust him BEFORE he even answers the question.
Example,
"Now I'm going to ask you about such and such an event and before you answer, "I don't recall" I'd like to remind you of two things.
1) You are under oath and
2)I have in my possession a document where you talk about this exact event and have an exchange about it with a key player. So if you use a variation of "I don't recall" I will expect this clip to show up on the Daily Show and all the nightly news and all the talk radio station in the country showing the entire country how blatant your comment will be and you disrespect of the rule of law and the government of the American people.
Now here is the question:"

The building started life as a a duplex, and the basically just split it into 4 aparment units. I'm on the 2nd floor, which was the bedroom space. If they'd kept the master bedroom as the MB (I use it as the living room)and knocked out the wall between the other two bedrooms and made an open space for LR/KIT, it would have worked better. That and added a real closet and cupboards. At least I have a walk up attic.

Do you approve of the campaign tactics she is using that are modeled after what you devised in Texas against Ann Richards and in South Carolina against John McCain?"

I took your advice about telling the kids that I was going to name the puppy "Kitty."
They laughed. A lot.
But I'm leaning towards an adaptation of NTodd's suggestion and going with "Suri." I know it's Tom Cruise's kid's name, but it's also Hebrew for "princess," which I think is cool.

OK, nobody laugh, but when my oldest was a toddler, he wouldn't sleep in his room at all. My neighbour introduced me to a feng shui consultant, who told me to move all the books out of his room.
As soon as we did that, he started sleeping again.

On the one hand, yes, no cop is going to think too hard about deciding between stopping one frustrated foreigner from indecent exposure versus trying to police a potentially infinite number of people who are not touching, stealing or damaging anything. Not fair but also obvious (there should be a word for that). One the other hand, it is embarassing to have a newcomer to your country receive this kind of impression. In an unfortunate side note, we had always heard that Australian men were macho assholes and wondered if NZs were too, and this pretty much confirms it.

No doubt, but if she was being wolf-whistled fully clothed, why would making all their dreams come true shut them up?
With what she did it sounds like she doesn't mind attention at all. If she had hit someone without getting into a fight, or photographed them for upload to a Hollaback site, a completely different message would be sent with no laws broken.

just once, i'd like a guy to be arrested for being "too attractive." just fucking once. women are always being killed, raped, locked up, burned with acid, etc., for "tempting" men by being in public. ok, if that's how you want it. how about we lock up all men over 8"? don't think wimmin can't tell thru your pants (ntodd excluded of course) it would mean only our trolls are free on the streets, but it could get the point across to those who think that our looks somehow determine your actions.

apparently, aussie men suck so much that american sailors are Gentlemen by comparison.
We were told this several times by pretty much everyone in Oki. "You open a door for her and she thinks she's being treated like a queen." One guy got breakfast, laundry with pressing, a mixtape and sundry oddments -- totally unexpected and unsolicited -- from an Aussie gal he considered himself lucky just to screw. And since the unspoken reason they're so nice is they want an American husband (which is not a bad idea; Australia is the bomb to live and work in, except for everything being poisonous) the word screw is deliberate.
There's got to be a way to put windmills on top of those massive cell towers along the freeway. Would cut down on the wind generated by all that fast traffic. There's a theory that all that counterclockwise wind generated by all those cars passing by each other helps to generate just that little bit more energy for tornadoes.

MikeJ, how's your dad?
Doing good. He got out yesterday. I'm at M&P's right now about to grill up some heart friendly copper river. I've only spent 15 minutes or so at stretch here for the past few days. Been either sitting wifiless at the hospital, driving back or forth, or trying to catch up on sleep.
Anyway, they've got him on ACE inhibitors and beta blockers and anti-coags. Doc says expect a full recovery, but there was damage done. Not a little "warning" heart attack, but not a killer either.
And now I've got some spinach to rinse and a fire to start.

McClaine kept calling the female baddie 'asian bitch'. It was rather annoying.
It is irritating that the level of ignorance for Asian-related entertainments is pretty much where it was thirty years ago. Dave Chappelle did a brilliant/retarded sketch about minorities afraid to act out stereotypes in public (black passenger doesn't want chicken airline meal, etc) and the Asian sequence was just totally unrelated to any stereotypes or pressures we're aware of. The little stereotype guy spoke terrible engrish and killed himself by disembowelling; what about conformity, empty material success put above all else, naked bullying patriarchalism, wasting time working to be white, or pretty much evil parents? And what is the line "Asian bitch" if not a way of winking and saying, "well, you know what we'd like to have him yell but can't"?
What channel? I'm going to leave this lame-ass, bigoted, misogynistic, liberal-bashing moving to the Mister.
