Barney! |
|
welcome to the club, redd. so many of our senate dems are worse than appeasers, they're downright irrational cowards who can't get their staff to do the homework on whether or not frist has the support or is just full of shit. |
|
Yeah, I never understood the argument that one had to vote for cloture, because the alternative was to give the Senate Majority leader the opportunity to use the 'Nuclear Option' which would then mean he'd be more powerful. |
|
I can't type a substative post, I get "too many blank lines" error.,,please fix |
|
I'm clearly a bit cranky and sleep deprived this morning. And I'm sure this will ease later on today when I have time for a soothing cup of tea...but right now, I'm just pissed. And FYI, this house is a Barney free zone. He is akin to Satan in terms of irritation -- so this pic was a perfect one for my mood at the moment. *g* |
|
will pice this together from previous thread which I couldn't post; |
|
they can't do enough through tax giveaways, so they will do it through dept....I do not believe the middle class will recover when dept service is finally called. |
|
me to me -- we had to put in a scroll troll block in the haloscan comments code as a temporary measure. We're looking into a better option, but for the moment, it stays. Sorry -- but everyone is going to have to do smaller comments for a while, or several posts to fill out their whole comment. Soon as we find a better option, we'll let everyone know. |
|
ARRRGH! All weekend I could not get hell-o-scan to scroll on my G/F's computer.*@%/# AOL. Now I get here and see Troll protection mode.I'd like to see someone come up with an automatic Whack-A-Troll. |

Here’s a nurse tip of the day regarding fevers in kids. Try alternating two different types of fever-reducing medicine – the two best are acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Motrin). Be sure to use children’s versions and dose by weight (on the box). Then, schedule your doses for each drug every 6 hours, but overlap them so you’re giving something every 3hr. |
|
Example: ibuprofen at 9am, 3pm and 9pm; acetaminophen 6am, noon, 6pm |
|
Re: the Padilla thing. A bit of "melt clock" here, buying time for a while until Bush can further pack the Court for eventually backing his play? Meanwhile, Gulaging may continue unabated. |
|
fitz! |
|
And for those kids with ear infections and temp of 103 who were tearing up the waiting room – they needed antibiotics, not fever medicine. |
|
20 month old daughter, so far Barney has been kept at bay. But the Wiggles and Elmo have infiltrated our considerable defenses. |
|
the middle class will be almost extermintated, we will be in servitude just to pay our bills, and debtors prison will return...fdic is the next insurance policy the middle class has that will be raided by these robber barons, they've already raided the insurance policy we had toward retirement funds if the company becomes insolvent.that policy failed and the fdic policy will fail...we will not even be able to pay taxes on our inflated |
|
property, and the laws that prevent child labor and 40 hour work weeks will be rescinded...tax giveaways will go to people that send their children to private school, and public education will first become uncompetitive, underfunded, and it will dissapear... |
|
Supremes ducking this Padilla issue is not a good omen. |
|
Pat -- well, I luv me some Wiggles and Elmo. *g* We're doing Blue's Clues at the moment here. :) But Barney....shudder...the kids on that show are like audioanimatronic robot children. Blergh. |
|
The report on the Padilla decision that I saw at TalkLeft said that Ginzburg, Souter and Breyer dissented. Ginzburg apparently wrote the minority opinion, which seems to say (IANAL) that it ain't moot, they've just dodged the question. Again. |
|
power outage at the Capitol--well we've been dealing with that for a good while, huh? |
|
Oh, PJ -- Looks like you spotted the TalkLeft update about the same time that I did. *g* GMTA. |

any rubber stamp sightings today? |
|
Wondering -- the rubber stamps are coming up shortly but, alas, not today. But definitely an update and some news very soon. *g* |

|
I agree with me to me about the middle class. Actually I see the destruction of the middle class as one of the purposes of the Bush presidency. The bankruptcy law from last fall was a key piece, which will enable the ultra-rich to buy up more property after a crash causes the middle class's debts to be called in. |
|
BobbyG -- we had to institute an emergency scroll troll measure over the weekend due to an attack from the outside. It's a temporary fix until we can find a better way to deal with it. We were bombarded over the weekend by disruptive morons -- and it took an all-out effort by multiple people to keep the site going. If everyone could please have a bit of patience until we find a better solution, it would be much appreciated. |
|
Redd - am right there with you on Barney...my kids loved Raffi, and I still remember my husband coming home and telling me he found himself singing "Baby Beluga" under his breath in a sales meeting...my pediatrician also used to tell us not to be afraid of a fever as long as the kid was running around the house, that with a virus, which does not respond to antibiotics, fever is your best weapon. |

For some interesting perspectives on the "destruction of the middle class" as a deliberate policy. Check out Michael Ruppert in FromtheWilderness.com. |

caption for photo atop the thread - |
|
We have been using the term "demand destruction" when talking to our manufacturing clients about the impacts of high energy prices on their businesses. |
|
Part 2: Basically, it will get to a point when some manufacturers just drop out...demand destruction...because they can't pay the energy bills. In the energy world, I wouldn't say it's an actual policy, instead it's the blowback from having no energy policy. |
|
Barney is not allowed in our house either. He makes me want to break something, he's so irritating. |

I think "Whack-a-Troll" is trademarked by MegaTokyo. |

Marky: in an energy crunch, we'll stop getting all those shipments of fruit and veggies from far away places. To me, the bottom line is we'd better try to support our local farmers--organic or conventional. Because they may need to pick up the slack, so to speak. |
|
Well, let's see if bushco listens to Blix since they did not last time.... |
|
The whole transportion aspect of an energy crunch is what worries me--and I don't mean daily driving habits. We've moved to a "just in time" world. My husband noted Friday that the U.S. will no longer manufacture spark plugs soon...among thousands of other parts that are necessary to make things operate. What if energy gets rationed--if only for a few weeks? |
|
Martha, on the plus side, maybe people will tear up their stupid lawns and grow a few fruits and vegetables. |
|
Hey Marky... |
|
On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. |
|
Larry, get over yourself yet? |
|
Stupid is right. But Marky, perfectly manicured lawns are...so...perfect! Seriously, I try not to put on my tin foil hat too often, but knowing what I know about the energy world (particularly how manufacturers use it) and our current state of affairs, I've been thinking about stockpiling things more than I've ever... |
|

|
How did I miss this? |
|
Marky, you really believe that Americans shouldn't have grapes in January? |
|
Marky: we're energy consultants (I know, I know all the consultant jokes) who help manufacturers buy energy more cost effectively (thanks to deregulation, a whole other topic) and then use it more efficiently--process engineering improvements, etc. |
|
What would we do without mangoes? I know, I know...old Bush joke. |
|
Like I said projection doesn't suit you. |
|
I think we should only get grapes in January if we're in Chile vacationing :) But, I have to admit I sometimes buy out of season stuff...instant gratification or craving and all that. |

Grandma on agriculture: |

Christy, Jane, please get rid of that blank line solution, unless you see right-wing interference appear again. It is just impossible to post a normal post here. I'll post two more tiny posts now to see if I can get something through. (It was just a single, long sentence, with two web links embedded. Why shouldn't that be possible?

Anyone looking closely at where events may be heading regarding Fourth Generation Warfare generally. |

And the analysis by emptywheel about a coming attack on Iran and its consequences? |
|
Martha and Marky, |

Yes Prof, I think emptywheel's analysis is excellent and very, very troubling. |

Though there are many insurance companies, the prices seem to be artificially fixed by the industry. |

John Casper | 04.03.06 - 11:07 am |

Can someone post the basic steps for solving the problem of long sentences not posting, or whatever the scroll blocker is doing? I read that one could insert two "breaks" but that doesn't work (and if it did, the forces of darkness and evil could easily insert that). |
|
Wyonate: Part of the problem with deregulation is the entrance of market players who're in it for all the bucks they can wring out of unsuspecting/uneducated customers (Enron and its brethren come to mind). And then there's that problem that many of today's "free" markets aren't really so free of outside influences/manipulations. |

sonate | 04.03.06 - 11:17 am |

wyonate: I agree. It always seems to be the fundamental issues that do people in, not the splashy, most egregious ones. From the energy perspective, it's years of neglect/unwillingness to face reality and LEAD individuals and businesses to finding new solutions. |
|
Wonder how many of the Senate Dems manage to get anything done, with one hand's finger up their ass and the other hand's finger in the wind to see which way beltway 'wisdom' is blowing. |

Re Padilla -- Infinite Loop |
|
Martha, |
|
Why is Congress touching the third rail of immigration in an election year? Why are senators pondering the introduction of a 27% trade tariff with China (Schumer, Chafee)? --Because their constituents are sick of feeling the economic pinch and are starting to grumble. |
|
sonate, it's not you, we had a "scroll troll" on Saturday who was abusing the bandwith with very, very, very long, balnk (white space) comments. ReddHedd commented earlier today, IIRC, that it's just a temporary fix until they figure out something better. |
|
The corporate world's mining of our youth has reached it's final silly conculsion. |

I'm not sure about complete energy regulation in the next five years. Natural gas is deregulated for larger "industrial" (they make stuff) customers and it is actually going fairly well. It's electricity that's the problem--deregulated in a few states for all customers (residential and businesses) and regulated in most others. |
|
the legal eagles may want to head over to SCOTUS Blog if you haven't already - 2 of this morning's posts on Padilla imply it's not exactly a decisive victory for Admin. |
|
Use |
|
And in the next year or so, residential customers in some states (IL, for example) are going to freak out at the size of the rate increases. In the deregulated states, rates were "frozen" for a few years...the caps are coming off and it's not pretty. Even in regulated states, electricity bills are climbing, especially if new power plants are under construction. |
|
I like the catch in the Klein piece. Here we have Dems who can't count to 60 and a President who can't count at all and they are "managing" a multi trillion dollar economy. It makes you cry. |
|
Today on the Wolfman and Jack show: |
|
Martha, |
|
Can someone explain what kind of post is ok with the scrolltroll fix? If we know what we can/can't post, it will be less frustrating. Actually, I'm not sure I could be less frustrated today; Padilla has me almost in tears. You guys can put St in front of Comey all you want, but I will always see him as the guy who was happy to be the face for this and where it has taken us. On reason they are ducking it is that it would almost have to put paid to the NSA program by the analysis they would use. |
|
many of today's "free" markets aren't really so free of outside influences/manipulations. |
|
But the nuclear option was thwarted when 14 Senate moderates cut a deal to keep the rules and allow votes on some of the appointees. "We saved him on that," said a G.O.P. staff member involved in the negotiations. "Frist never had the votes he needed for the nuclear option." |
|
Martha |
|
Hugh, |
|
Talking about "legal eagles," if you care about family, if you care about children, if you care about nature, if you want to see something incredible cooooool, click on the webcam put in the nest of a 19-year couple of bald eagles sitting on the eggs she laid 10 days ago |
|
WHAT!!?? Does that mean what I think it means -the Dems rolled over on that one!?? Is that right? |
|
My argument for regulation of energy: does anybody live in a part of the country where you can change energy companies at will? (competition) |
|
I think "Whack-a-Troll" is trademarked by MegaTokyo. |
|
If not, then screw the legalise mumbo jumbo- its called a monopoly and my government has a responsibility to protect me. |
|
Prof |
|
Are we all having the 'blank lines' problem? |
|
cbl - it is "not a decisive victory" for the admin in the same way Specter having hearings on the NSA program was "not a decisive victory" for the administration. Sonate, there'snothing to say that they can't take him back into military custody even if he's found guilty and go ahead and charge in the tribunal for things that they don't have evidence to charge for in court etc. |
|
A simple 'enter' worked on my computer for a new paragraph. Interesting. Since I had few problems also with the changeover, must be just certain software??? |
|
Sorry, Prof, It (<br>) seemed to work for me. Thanks for performing the series of tests to help posters figure out how to post properly with the scroll troll b-gone our gracious hostesses have put in place. |
|
Christy, |
|
IL is in trouble with their nukes, but WI and other states have issues as well. Wyanote, WY is not alone. We have customers whose natural gas prices have almost doubled in the last year or so. Natural gas markets are not exactly sane...mention the word "hurricane" these days and watch the prices spike. They also seem to track with oil but shouldn't. |
|
GrandmaJ |
|
wyonate--- in Ohio we can change natural gas companies. It is hugely more expensive this year than last, though, no matter who you pick. |

As the drumbeat of Republican misdeeds rolls on, more attention will necessarily be focused on the cowardice and complicity of most Democrats in them. |

Sonate - Kennedy, Stevens and Roberts joined in an opinion that said, well, its serious and all, but Padilla already has the remedy he originally sought and well, gosh, we'll be keeping an eye out on those scamps in the govt. |
|
The housing bubble, threatened tariffs, and interest rates have a nice tie in. China artificially keeps its currency low by buying US T notes. This keeps its prices and the yuan low. But their buying our debt keeps our interest rates artificially low, helping to support the housing market. The effect on ARMs would be much worse if China was not there currently bailing us out. |
