My g.f described a mean boss of hers as one puppy short of a coat.

... and she still looks soooo prrrrrrrrretty!

As one outsider I am confused, does Palin run against Obama? What happened to McCain?

That is the problem - McCain is older than me; has had numerous bouts with cancer; and will probably have a heart attack if he does not (heh,heh doe snot) learn to control his temper. So some of us are worried that he might not have chosen the best person to be one heart-beat away from the presidency.

Well, you can do your part by making your own Bat-House (with The Delicate Sound of Thunder in the background - what would be apropos )

I keep looking at that mod and my jaw dropped. The thing I hate about regular cases is that they all have the window on the wrong side - so ...

No piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven times, try it ;)

Edit:.. no normal piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven times.

Love the link - thanks.

Some people consider the US $1 bill unlucky because there are so many 13's on it:
13 stars, 13 stripes, 13 steps, 13 arrows and even an olive branch with 13 leaves on it.

That was the reason the $2 bill disappeared. There was a $2 window at the race track and they kept losing, obviously it the bill was bad luck.

Obama fans are ready

Interlude.

Thanks, we needed that. Richard Wright will be missed.

Obama é um candidato carismático e inteligente...uma grande oportunidade do mundo se ver livre de preconceitos raciais.

Spanish - xlates as:

Obama is a candidate charismatic and intelligent ... Opportunities do a great world view of preconceitos raciais livre.

We always treated sites abaixo related topic dess

If the views of Spanish speakers interest you, try.

They even make art in Australia using Vegemite

OMFG

Dave, I am ignoring you.

I was wondering what yootube would have to say about fonts and found a couple of 'font'/typography visons:
fun
funny
foreign
now I am just amusing myself

Would you consider this a 'lowrider' pc mod?

Make are with what you have - rednecks have bbq - it is amazing when the subject suddenly appears out of the mess.

I was just digging through some 'cctv' stuff and happened on this Banksy 'interview' - if you have the time, the last minute is pretty good.

Who is Banksy? Might as well ask what does 'lipstick on a pig' mean?

Drinking more of my home-made sparkling water - thinking about dinner; will probably will settle on Vietnamese ramen.

I wasn't sure where to put this but I was thinking of JW and I am pretty sure he might get apoplectic when he sees this - that would be funny.

There are 2961 font tags in this rant. Trust me - don't read too far or try to count them.

Thanks! People don't give fonts as much credit as they deserve. I tried designing a font - I did not even get 'a' done and realized that it was not my calling.

Hey! you buy 15 yards of chow line and i will throw in 2 yards of slack and a skate key.

The really odd thing about the Mac ads is that everyone likes John Hodgman - he gets live-blogged and twittered everywhere he goes. When he stopped into a Mac store (well, I suppose you have all heard John talk about how his fame surprises him)... No one likes the the Mac guy. Does the ad sell Macs? It seems sort of mean-spirited. Now of course, the ads have been parodied for Political education and to try and frame how the election campaign is working. The ad seems to be doing everything but selling Macs.

Any Mac users here? Do you identify with the Mac guy?

See - the vest can be tuned up to leave bruises (or so I have been told), so take a look below to see -- er sorry, I got no real segue to this but it is kool.

This is not actually tech but I think this will blow you away differently. Just hovering over the left hand menu is pretty cool.

OOPS!:

Fumbling, again, some of his economic messaging, McCain confused the Federal Election Commission for the Securities and Exchange Commission during his speech on the housing and financial crises Friday morning.

Calling for SEC Chairman Chris Cox to step down, McCain declared: "I believe the chairman of the FEC should resign and leave office immediately."

Why are the McCain/Palin rallies emptying out during McCain's speech? Seems everyone shows for Palin and then and start to leave when McCain gets on the stage.??

Okay, okay - some liberals survived also. Don't dig around to deeply (heh,heh).

Here are before and after pics from USGS. They even show what survived. The peninsula looks almost scrubbed clean.

The last report I have is that the airspace over the Bolivar peninsula and the west end has been interdicted. Has help arrived in Galveston? Here is a Houston news report.

Should we start looking for black helicopters? What about the rumors of Bio-labs in the area? There was not problem showing Katrina - why not Ike?

Here is a report from NPR last night. Things to not look good for them.

Too bad - I am in the mood for a good cookie-cutter hero right now.

But GRRM is an excellent writer so I am sure that that series will be good - I will look into it

Have you seen the "System of the World" series by by Neal Stephenson - there is so much history and convolution in there for anyone.

So do you call him elitist or uppity?
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different."
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2
daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your
disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age-appropriate sex education, including the
proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If , while governor, y ou staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other
option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen
daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a
prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community,
then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude," has at least one DWI
conviction and no college education, didn't register to vote until age 25,
and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from
the the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

"Beer heiress good, ketchup heiress bad"

I forgot Dethklock - anyone remember Beavis and Butthead??

Sigh! good times, heh,heh

I did not know that was a single woman's voice; she is stupendous!

I listen to Crime and Dissonance - it will seriously creep you out!

But his harmonica theme from Once upon a Time in the West is amazing

McCain:

"She has been commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard. Fact. On September 11 a contingent of the Guard deployed to Iraq and her son happened to be one of them so I think she understands national security challenges."

On Sept. 11 there was an ARMY deployment ceremony at which she was the guest speaker, her son is in the Army not the Guard - McCain is not keeping these things in his head very well.

Then he may have become confused about Spain's prime minister Jose Luis Zapatero, was he thinking Spain was in South America or was he saying that Spain is not a friend of the United States.? His spokesperson:

"The questioner asked several times about Senator McCain's willingness to meet Zapatero (and id'd him in the question so there is no doubt Senator McCain knew exactly to whom the question referred). Senator McCain refused to commit to a White House meeting with President Zapatero in this interview," the Senator's foreign policy adviser Randy Sheunemann.

Appearing on the Miami-based Union Radio, a Spanish language radio station that conducted its interview in English, McCain touted his record "of working with leaders in the hemisphere that are friends with us, and standing up to those who are not." This came even after the questioner began that portion of the interview by saying: "let's talk about Spain."

You should learn how to hide your true colors a little bit better, sugar puddin'.
First you use the document with sarcasm:

and later on try to convince us that you have respect for it:

Manipulator! All that you wanted to show it is some support for Mister Obama. But what you have achieved it is to show what kind of supporters he attracts.

[edit:] Here, have a cookie and enjoy.

Aia, I see you are up to your old tricks. You consider yourself superior; arbiter of what other people mean, then try to hit them with YOUR meaning. and to top it off, you managed to drag creationism into a discussion about the constitution. This is why people will reject McCain/Palin - the citizens of the US do not want another 4 years anti-intellectuals ruining this country.

Google has been locating its server farms near hydroelectric sources because the dams generally have excess energy (during low demand, night hours - the water still flows), there is little line loss, and Google is pretty much guaranteed 'green' power. Well, this latest development is pretty d*mned exciting and a little scary - they are bonding with GE to create a 'smart' grid.

The least luminous galaxy in the universe is a 'next door neighbor' and it is thought that its dimness is due to 'dark matter. They call it Segue 1

Apparently, somewhere around 1% of the searches use that button - for a yearly loss of $110 million yearly - no adverts come up. It is controversial (sorta) - there was even a limited edition `I'm feeling lucky' boxers

NASA has some of the most amazing pictures - my wife does the same grabbing for backdrop - currently it is a gray-scale of Saturn's rings. Today's knocks my socks off - it is almost a perfect rose.

My g.f. just made dolmathes - mmmmm, she made me eat the vegetarian version but she is such a good cook, I don't care.

I think I am going to make myself bourbon and coke.

G'night all - well actually I am going to lurk for awhile before bedtime.

interesting how the leftists as usual do all the mudslinging and flaming, then go and blame the ones they're defaming for it...

They must be so full of hatred for everything right thinking people stand for.
Things like equality, opportunity, getting compensated for your work, etc. etc. etc.

Wow - that is an astonishing bit of sophistry.

I wish there was more I could say but the purity of your statement and the amount of mental distortion required to come up with that short piece of prose is staggering.

JW, you are either the god of all trolls or you have turned yourself into a klein bottle.

And let us not forget the Bill of Rights

The Canadian system is becoming more and more attractive. They have single payer health care; now they have declared a national election and it will be over before we have finished sliming our candidates.

Their national debates are being broadcast on the same day that the Veeps do their debates - they are worried no one will watch.

I am beginning to see the attraction that Republicans have for her.

VM - I found your server -- a petabyte of data????!!!!!!

Here is Karl talking about his limits - didn't know he had any did you?

But, but, it runs windows.... That means you can run Vista extreme and hardly need to reboot very often. Wow, you could use a huge flat screen tv as a monitor

Ooh! I had a Carmen Ghia once - the closest i ever got.

You know JC had quite a few missing years but they wrote a complete bible about him.

Don't buy a Porsche if you can't afford the insurance.

Heh,heh -- I was not denying the connection, I was denying the reference in the article. Just knowing what ACORN stands for tells you that Obama probably was associated with them (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now,). I understand that some people think that community organizers are talentless, time-wasting hacks but somehow, I think helping low income people stands higher than sucking $230 millions of pork into a suburb of less than 8,000.
