Are you ready to ruumbull?! Today, on Press the Meat, it’s the Missouri Meltdown, pitting weaselly, anti-stem cell crusading, Senator Jim “get your habeas outta my corpus” Talent, vs. his challenger, Missouri State Auditor Claire McCaskill (Claire is currently up by three points in the latest Gallup poll). And, because that’s not enough, Bob Woodward will be in to give Timmy Potatohead sloppy seconds (or thirds or fourths, or whatever it is) over Bobby’s book, State of Denial.
Over at CBS, Bush buddy Bobby Schieffer has Senator MBNA, Joe Biden. Joe will be in to tell us that he, too, wanted Donny Rumsfeld fired. Newsflash to Joe: not only does Bush not give a shit what you think, nobody else does, either. Go back to kissing Alberto “Grand Inquisitor” Gonzales’ ass, Joe.
Over at CNN’s Late Emission, it’s Iraqi Foreign Minister, Hoshyar Zerbari, Senator MBNA (again), John “Cornhole” Cornyn, a pair of hacks who, while they have never run for (let alone won) any office, have nonetheless co-authored The Way to Win, John Harris (WaPost) and Mark Halperin (Goebbels Broadcasting Company), Republican propagandist (and CNN’s “congressional correspondent”), Dana Bash, and everybody’s favorite Nazi sympathizer, Bay Buchanan without the dress (aka, Pat).
But wait, there’s more!
Over at Fux News Sunday, where Chris Wallace is still trying to clean up after Bill Clinton made him soil himself, it’s a Mark Foley kinda day, and what an astounding panel they’ve put together! In addition to the fuckfaced on himself, it’s liar and hack extrordinaire, Brit Hume, the Revernd Sun Yung Moon’s righthand man, Bill “not the funny one” Kristol, token NPR black guy, Juan Williams (Juan, you should be ashamed of yourself for even being near these creeps), and token NPR female, Mara Liasson (who is, of course, shameless – and an example of why NPR sucks these days). And then, speaking oof erections, a story about Air Force vets building a DC memorial.
And then for all of you Foley Fanaticsn who just can’t get enough, over at the GBC, it’s yet another This Weak with George Snufalufagus that makes it easy to continue the boycott, with Tom “still aint got my story straight, but it’s all Denny’s fault” Reynolds, DCCC chairman Rahm “man” Emanuel, and James “the Fixer” Baker. Plus, Patricia “botox” Heaton will be on to talk about autism.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl talks to HP’s Patricia “I’m innocent” Dunn, and Steve Kroft has a look at the 44,000 names on the no-fly list (hey, nice to know Osama’s on there – dubya may not spend much time thinking about him but it’s nice to know if he shows up at an airport and is stupid enough to use his real name, he is so gonna have to take the bus).
Of course, today’s big story is TO’s return to Philly, where the Eagles will hopefully kick his (and the Cowboy’s) ass so hard all day, he’ll be on suicide watch by the flight back to “D.”
Have a good Sunday.

Tens of thousands of people have marched through the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, in support of the main opposition candidate, Manuel Rosales.
Mr Rosales will face President Hugo Chavez in December’s presidential poll.
The march, which filled the main avenues of the city centre, was the biggest opposition rally Venezuela has seen since early 2004.
Then, protesters made an unsuccessful bid to oust Mr Chavez from power in a recall referendum

The religious(?) Reich strikes everywhere 😮
The U.S. Cavalry’s Crazy Horse, 3rd Platoon ventures out into Southern Baghdad, where the enemy is invisible, Iraqi allies untrustworthy, and where American troops increasingly ask themselves if this is their fight anymore. And who is the enemy?
“It’s not clear now who we’re always fighting: they’re terrorists, they’re criminals, they’re religious radicals,” says Sgt. Mike Schmieder of the Army’s 1-14 Cavalry.
Just how murky it’s become is obvious after only an hour on patrol. The platoon finds the body of a Sunni man executed and dumped by the roadside just 30 minutes earlier, along with his ID and a photograph of his daughter.
The body that these soldiers found had been shot by an Iraqi policeman’s pistol; witnesses saw an Iraqi police car leave the scene. Now the soldiers are investigating to see if these police were themselves involved. Surprisingly, an Iraqi police lieutenant tells us he thinks fellow police did it.
“My men are infiltrated by Shiite militias and I can’t get rid of them,” he says. “If I report them, they’ll kill me.”

Wiunded troops returning from Iraq have been linked by government scientists to outbreaks of a deadly superbug in National Health Service hospitals. Injured soldiers flown back to be treated on the NHS have been infected with a rare strain of Acinetobacter baumannii, a superbug resistant to antibiotics.
At one hospital in Birmingham in 2003 the bacteria went on to infect 93 people, 91 of whom were civilians. Thirty-five died, although the hospital has not been able to establish whether the superbug was a contributory factor.
Acinetobacter baumannii commonly inhabits soil and water and is associated with warmer climates such as the Middle East. It is resistant to most common antibiotics and, if left untreated, can lead to pneumonia, fever and septicemia.
The bacterium has become a concern in the US army, where it has been identified in more than 240 military personnel since 2003, killing five.

Last month, 776 U.S. troops were wounded in action in Iraq, the highest number since the military assault to retake the insurgent-held city of Fallujah in November 2004, according to Defense Department data. It was the fourth-highest monthly total since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003.
The sharp increase in American wounded — with nearly 300 more in the first week of October — is a grim measure of the degree to which the U.S. military has been thrust into the lead of the effort to stave off full-scale civil war in Iraq, military officials and experts say. Beyond Baghdad, Marines battling Sunni insurgents in Iraq’s western province of Anbar last month also suffered their highest number of wounded in action since late 2004.
More than 20,000 U.S. troops have been wounded in combat in the Iraq war, and about half have returned to duty. While much media reporting has focused on the more than 2,700 killed, military experts say the number of wounded is a more accurate gauge of the fierceness of fighting because advances in armor and medical care today allow many service members to survive who would have perished in past wars. The ratio of wounded to killed among U.S. forces in Iraq is about 8 to 1, compared with 3 to 1 in Vietnam

BERLIN (EJP)— A German expert on right-wing extremism has warned that neo-Nazis are becoming “more professional” and threatening to become a mainstream political force.
Karl-George Ohse, who heads a consulting team charged with countering growing neo-Nazi influence in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, said that right-wing extremism is “strongly anchored” in the state and that the right-wing NPD is likely to win at least 10 per cent of the vote in the next state election.
He stated: “Neo-Nazis are the only ones that offer anything to youngsters in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.”
Widespread unhappiness over the state of the German economy and continuing high unemployment combined with a rise in support for extremist movements were widely seen as being behind the relatively good showing of neo-Nazis in local elections earlier this month.

Saint Pelagia is an Antiochene saint, a virgin of fifteen years, who chose death by a leap from the housetop rather than dishonour, is mentioned by Ambrose (De virg. iii. 7, 33; Ep. xxxvii. ad Simplic.), and is the subject of two sermons by Chrysostom. Her festival was celebrated on 8 October (Wrights Syriac Martyrology).

Emanuel-the Augustinian tradition would actually have unbaptized infants in a place quite a lot more unpleasant than Limbo, so I really doubt that is where this is coming from. A pervsion of the Augustinian tradition, Jansenism, condemned Limbo as a Pelagian heresy, saying all such children burned in Hell itself. The common thought of the Church was that these souls neither have the Beatific Vision, nor any positive punishment of damnation, but are simple forever naturally happy.

That is because you are a snooty easterner. Give the provincials a break.
cream cheese is snooty? Hmmph. Cream cheese and LOX baby
I remember seeing some game show, probably an old rerun of “What’s My Line?” I swear that the contestant was Benny the Bagel King. He was a abig supplier, or something. Perhaps it was Murray. It was cute.

I remember as a child, we were staying with relatives in Seattle. My uncle Harold, who had bought bagels, was telling us how people would put butter and jam on them in the morning, like regular toast. He also talked about putting jellyfish on toast. He owned a Shell station in the Central District.
NEW YORK (AP) – The city’s waterfront is getting cleaner, and bothersome river critters not seen in hundreds of years are once again attacking wooden ships and piers.
The waters were once so filthy that early 20th-century sailors could be sure their boats would be safe from such threats – because organisms simply couldn’t survive in the muck. But scientists are now seeing a resurgence in gribbles, shrimp-like crustaceans that grow to about one-17th of an inch in length and attack wood from the outside, and shipworms, which latch onto the outside of wood and burrow inward, growing up to several feet long as they devour the material.

(to Sue P) yeah, they’re keeping the Hudson pretty clean and it’s translating to more and more exotic species from elsewhere making appearances in the river. Now if only they’d clean up the PCP’s so most of these things can be safe to eat again. General Electric has been stalling the courts so they haven’t cleaned anything yet, as far as I know.

No. I do not recall. We used to find piece of them on the Oregon Coast. Then I found out that they had stingers, and worse than a bee.
lots of jellyfish on the beaches here. I’ve never stepped on one but I’ve heard horror stories. Strangely I’ve seen kids safely playing with them with nothing happening, but I wouldn’t chance it. I never heard of anyone eating them
Our first interviewee is a man who has made a significant contribution to good eating in Prague – he’s American businessman Glenn Spicker, the man who introduced that most wonderful of foods the bagel to the city. Bagels, if you don’t know them, are bread shaped like a donut (with a hole) but bigger, and are a traditional Jewish food. Glenn Spicker now has two branches of his Bohemia Bagels in Prague. Mr. Spicker also owns a couple of bars in the city but on St. Stephen’s Day he was due to open the doors of a new business to the public – the Czech Republic’s first museum of communism.
Radio Prague spoke to Glenn Spicker about what prompted him to open a bagel shop in Prague..
“Like the museum of communism, nobody had done it. Everyone had talked about doing a bagel store but no-one had actually done it. Nobody had talked about doing a museum of communism and nobody had done it. The idea came to us one evening and it was like “Eureka!” – it hasn’t been done, let’s do it. And it became an obsession and a passion and I had to do it.”
I thought those Czechs invented Bagels.

Anyone ever try the bagles in montreal? A bit of an acquired taste- less doughy and more chewy. Very controversial amongst bagle experts.
Jews get their asses everywhere and open bagel stores, that’s what’s going on!
I can’t imagine what there is to eat of a jelly fish. When they wash up on the beach they dry out in the sun and there’s nothing left. They don’t look too tasty in any state they’re in.
I’m tryiing to remember if I had bagels in Montreal. I think I did and I think I remember them being good.
1683 — According to legend the first bagels rolled into the world in 1683 when a Viennese baker wanted to pay tribute to Jan Sobieski, the King of Poland. King Jan had just saved the people of Austria from an onslaught of Turkish invaders. The King was a great horseman, and the baker decided to shape the yeast dough into an uneven circle resembling a stirrup (or ‘beugal’). (Other German variations of the word are: ‘beigel’, meaning ‘ring’, and ‘bugel’, meaning bracelet.) (Where are the Czechs?)
1872 — Cream cheese is invented. In 1880, Philadelphia Cream Cheese was started, and in 1920, Breakstone Cream Cheese. (Is thaat a New York brand, like Hellman’s?)
1880’s — Thousands of Eastern European Jews invaded the United States. They brought with them a desire for bagels. Soon bagels became closely associated with New York and Chicago [!], both cities with large Jewish populations. (What about Cleveland and South Portland?)
1907 — A union just for bagel bakers is formed, the International Bakers Union, joining together 300 bakers. (Communism.) Only sons of union members could be apprenticed to learn the secrets of bagel baking in order to safeguard the culinary art. (It figures.)
1935 — The first Bagel Boss opened, bringing high quality New York bagels to Long Island. (Is this the “What’s My Line” Benny the Bagel Boss?)
1960s — Bagel production skyrocketed as machines capable of producing 200 to 400 bagels per hour were popularized. (Bridgehead in Seattle.)
1987 — Bagels made their way into mainstream America, sold around the country in grocery stores and listed as standard items on fast food menus. (Lenders)

Breakstone is a pretty common brand I thought, for dairy products in general. Maybe it is just a NY thing, I don’t know
Saint Francis of Paola prayed to keep the Turkish invaders out of Vienna. Therefore, he is somehow involved in the birth of bagels.:
priest:
hard to separate legend from fact with bagel history. I’ve read more than one story about how they started
Yes. It is a New York thing. We have Philly out here.
Did you know that BREAKSTONE’S
• began as a small dairy store on New York’s lower east side, opened in 1882 by two immigrants from Lithuania—Isaac and Joseph Breakstone. In fact Isaac remained active in the company until sometime after 1928.
• cream cheese originally made the company a household name along the East coast in the 20’s.
• was a large producer of condensed milk products during World War I for the Armed Forces and by the mid 30’s they were the largest producer of sour cream in the New York market. It was shortly after World War II that BREAKSTONE’S founded the cottage cheese business as we know it today.
bagels became widespread in in the USA in 1987? Jeez that is so recent. My earliest memories of eating involve bagels. Even before pizza.
oh yeah. Philly is the best cream cheese. That’s what I buy
actually the two biggest cream cheese brands I see are Philadelphia and Temptee. Is Temptee put out by breakstone? Not sure. I don’t like it as much
Bagel Boss Hicksville Opens Its Doors

“It’s what we’ve grown up doing,” says Jerry Rosner when asked about what motivated him to open Bagel Boss in Hicksville. Jerry Rosner, Randy, and Adam Rosner, three brothers from Wantagh, NY, are fifth generation participants in the bagel business.

Bagel Daze
Back when most of the Jews here in town lived clustered in and around Old South Portland, through the mid-20th century, there were plenty of good bagels around. the local trade during first half of the 20th century. There was the Star, Gordon’s and Mosler’s. After World War II, only Mosler’s remained. Harry Mosler was a tough guy and his bagels, it is said, were the best anyone ever tasted. There were many other Jewish-owned food businesses in those days: Mrs. Levine’s Fish Market cows and chickens in the Korsun’s grocery and Mink’s grocery; Calistro and Halperin’s Albert was the soda pop king.
Harry Mosler was a tiny man which might explain his big personality. In the photograph of him I have tacked up at work, he wore a plain, white t-shirt and a once-white apron. Below his bald dome, there was a smudge of a mustache, half-moon ears and bags under his eyes so prominent they announced, “I am a sleep-deprived bread baker.” Two stories about Harry Mosler begin to illustrate the man. One is that he never had change for a dollar–you could only get an extra bagel. At the same time, if you were a child, there was always a free bagel for you. The other story, bittersweet and true, is that as he aged, his grandson Darrell–who had worked for Mosler and even attended a fancy baking school in Chicago–begged him for his recipe to assure at least another generation of great bagels. Mr. Mosler refused. He told Darrell what his weary face expressed, “The work is too hard. Do something else.”
By the 1960’s, the Portland Development Commission’s urban renewal efforts were in full swing. They gave our town a shiny new freeway, I-405, that bounded the central city south and west. But what was the price? Much of Old South Portland was obliterated and its insular Jewish community dispersed. I do not remember the time well–my age was still in the single digits–but I do not think anyone really gave much of a damn about the cultural displacement. Political correctness had not yet emerged as a moral imperative and neighborhood activism was in its infancy. There was another nasty war going on, the civil rights movement was dawning and the only food revolution in America at the time involved untoward innovations such as TV dinners, Tang and Space Food Sticks. Besides, the prosperous local Jewish community was already assimilating at a rapid pace and heading to the suburbs with everyone else.
The original Mosler’s Bakery on Southwest First near Caruthers was overrun in the late 1950’s. The second location, at Southwest Fourth and College, lasted only a few years more. Mr. Mosler’s last days as a professional baker were spent–emblematically–in suburban Hillsdale. Harry Mosler died in 1969 right around the High Holidays. He took his bagel recipe to the grave. No one should have to work so hard.
Since Mosler died, what have passed for bagels in Portland are almost uniformly flavorless, oversized, bread rings. Circular Wonder Bread. Several manufacturers appear to have latched on to the theory that if the quantity is greater, no one will notice that the quality is lacking. The dominant alternate theory–I call it the “abomination postulate” –is that if you add enough weird ingredients to a characterless dough, you can distract the populace and sell fancy new kinds of so-called bagels. Thus dawned the scourge of blueberry, cinnamon-raisin, pizza and other horrifying rounds. Mosler turned in his grave.
I am not here solely to recount local history nor even to vilify that most unsavory subspecies of bagel producer, Noahbakus crapalotamus. My central task is to pass along a little magic; perhaps not Mosler’s recipe, but some secrets to making a great bagel nonetheless. Yes, you can make a wonderful bagel. Mosler was right; it is hard. But it’s not that hard. Come a little closer and let me tell you what to do:
* 1. Start with high gluten flour. You can get five-pound bags of it right at the Portland Farmers Market. The brand is Shepard’s Grain and it is from some friendly farmers who grow the wheat right nearby in eastern Washington. If you can find some King Arthur flour around town, they offer a high gluten product too. And if all else fails, find some Bob’s Red Mill “Vital Wheat Gluten” and spike your Gold Medal all-purpose stuff with it. A half ounce to use.)
*
OJP: Just kidding, Mike. Mosler would be proud of you. Your mother and I are, too. You should open a bakery.
A charming and mouthwatering recollection, thank you!
No personal memories of great Portland bagels, but I did have a semi-regular fix in L.A.
Sunday mornings I would arrive at “I & Joy” bakery on Pico Blvd. very early and take in the aroma of fresh-from-the-oven bagels and bialis. A short trip down the road to Nate and Al’s Deli provided the balance of my sunday ritual; some whipped cream cheese, a little smoked sturgeon, a little more kippered salmon, and a Sunday Times. Occasionally I would throw in a couple ruggulah for good measure.
Needless to say, my current Sunday ritual has morphed into a (sadly) “northwesternized” variation; almond croissant from Ken’s, a double latte, and a (starting to tear up now) Sunday Oregonian. Oy!
In Brooklyn, where I grew up, toss up a nickel and nine times out of ten you hit a bagel shop. And they were pretty much all great: glossy, chewy, dense but not too. And as for flavorings, the only thing the deli guy had to ask was, “Plain or onion?”
If the best thing you can find around JCC is Noah’s, well, then you know there’s probably room for some improvement! I can honestly say I never fathomed there would be so much work in making a bagel – thanks for the insights.
4. MFKFisher Says:
If you’ve ever had one of Mike’s bagels, you’ll know he does the memory of Mr. Mosler proud.
Okay, now how about a place a transplanted New Yorker can get a Bialie?
Michael, do you know if Mosler’s Hillsdale bakery was the precursor to the Hillsdale Pastry shop that closed down awhile ago?
I’d guess that a top bagel shop would stand a pretty good chance of survival in Hillsdale now as there’s a large Jewish population that lives near Mittleman. We could definitely use more foodie destination places in the area, and you might even be able to put a Noah’s out of business, too .
Mosler’s Bakery
If you recall Mosler’s Bakery from 40 years ago, read this post by Michael Charles on Portland Food and Drink. Mr. Charles does far more justice to the bakery run by Harry Mosler (whose first name I always thought was
:
Being a suburban kid with a grandmother who produced Wonderbread slathered with Nucoa and sprinkled lavishly with granulated sugar as an after school snack, Mr Mosler’s breads were a revelation (ah, the dark rye). Unfortunately, I discovered his shop shortly before the bulldozers ushered him out. I remember him as an elfin fellow with dough encrusted fingernails. He would always offer a cookie (he made atrocious cookies, better suited as clay pigeons). What fun to hear others’ memories of him. He was an original, and it has been a long wait for Portland’s bread scene to rebound from his loss.

Cyndi Lauper “Girls just want to have fun” Can NOT stop hearing that song in my head for some reason
Rothko. :rabbi:
there are a bunch of his paintings in MOMA. Going to have to go back there soon, I’m addicted to the place.
lamonte depends on the polls you see….some say 10% below and some say neck and neck….
He may lose after all, but he is who we need in governement, so as an exercise I guess its worth it.
PJ, its a Monarch which is a fully american company, so I like them…they are pretty impeccable with their tech support but this is the second time Ive had components fail. I already lost the motherboard once and the guy replaced my RAM just in case that was the problem. I have an overheating problem suddenly and things are going SLOW, so this one guy had me run a few tests and memtest was one of em….but I didnt have time to call him back till this AM and he said to shut it off…I had bad sectors on the HD so I am going to back up and then call him again so he can schedule a tech visit….they will send someone local to change it.
I wonder if I shouldnt buy some more RAM and a secondary HD and give the tech some cash to add them too….I could easily do the RAM but I dont know exactly how to make a slave HD or whatever…..I seem to be low on space due to all of this film, MP3, podcasting stuff going on.
Easy to do. On your HDD, there are jumpers for cable select, master, and slave. If your mobo suports cable select, leave it that way, and the first device on the cable is the master. Otherwise, set the jumpers for one as master, and the other as slave. That’s about it. You might need to go into the bios to enable the new drive.
All across Africa, India and parts of Southeast Asia, from within and around whatever patches and corridors of their natural habitat remain, elephants have been striking out, destroying villages and crops, attacking and killing human beings. In fact, these attacks have become so commonplace that a whole new statistical category, known as Human-Elephant Conflict, or H.E.C., was created by elephant researchers in the mid-1990’s to monitor the problem. In the Indian state Jharkhand near the western border of Bangladesh, 300 people were killed by elephants between 2000 and 2004. In the past 12 years, elephants have killed 605 people in Assam, a state in northeastern India, 239 of them since 2001; 265 elephants have died in that same period, the majority of them as a result of retaliation by angry villagers, who have used everything from poison-tipped arrows to laced food to exact their revenge. In Africa, reports of human-elephant conflicts appear almost daily, from Zambia to Tanzania, from Uganda to Sierra Leone, where 300 villagers evacuated their homes last year because of unprovoked elephant attacks.
Still, it is not only the increasing number of these incidents that is causing alarm but also the singular perversity — for want of a less anthropocentric term — of recent elephant aggression. Since the early 1990’s, for example, young male elephants in Pilanesberg National Park and the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa have been raping and killing rhinoceroses; this abnormal behavior, according to a 2001 study in the journal Pachyderm, has been reported in “a number of reserves” in the region. In July of last year, officials in Pilanesberg shot three young male elephants who were responsible for the killings of 63 rhinos, as well as attacks on people in safari vehicles. In Addo Elephant National Park, also in South Africa, up to 90 percent of male elephant deaths are now attributable to other male elephants, compared with a rate of 6 percent in more stable elephant communities.

Swiss researchers have discovered the 100,000-year-old remains of a previously unknown giant camel species in central Syria.
“This is a big discovery, a revolution in science,” said Jean-Marie Le Tensorer, a prehistory professor at the University of Basel. “It was not known that the dromedary was present in the Middle East more than 10,000 years ago.”
He said it was about 12 feet tall, “as big as a giraffe or an elephant.” Professor Tensorer, who has been excavating at the desert site in Kowm since 1999, said the first large bones were found some years ago but were only confirmed as belonging to a camel after more bones from several parts of the same animal were recently discovered.

Melina,
Sorry to hear of your computer woes. You seem to have the worst luck with that machine. Perhaps we should start a fund to get you into a new Dell machine? I never had those kind of problems with my Dells. I’ve had three. Two desktops, one of which my roomie is using (the other sold) and my Inspiron 8500 laptop. I only use the laptop when I go out of town. Like to Atlanta for Pride. Never had any issues with it. I’d like a new Macbook Pro Laptop. But I’m so computer poor. Right now I use the Apple iMac exclusively around the apartment. Only issues have revolved around the network which seems to be solved since the last rebuild of the network. I try to steer clear of suspect sites. My roomie has a file sharing program on my dell desktop. No telling what he’s downloading on that thing. I suspect gay porn and illegal music. I told him to stop doing that. But he doesn’t listen to me. I might as well be talking to a brick wall. I know you and PJ hate Apple products. But I still have to rave about mine. It is not a perfect machine. Those kind of machines only exist in our dreams and fluff Apple computer commercials. But over all after using more Windows based machines I’d have to opt for a Apple computer. I’m hooked. But the geek that I am can’t wait to purchase Windows Vista. I’ll upgrade my laptop to Vista out of sheer curiosity. I’m rambling. Sorry
Post script: The cheapest Macbook Pro laptop is $2,000. The cheapest Dell laptop is under $600.00. Damn it to hell!
N e one want to give me $1000 for a used Dell Inspiron 8500, so I can put down that grand on a new Macbook Pro? Nope? I thought not. Gots to buy some more lottery tickets this week.
I’m not in the mood to drive over to 5 Points to do man-in-the-street interviews today. So . . . that’s out for tomorrow’s podcast. I could drive over after work tomorrow. Just depends on my mood. I’m a very moody person. It isn’t a good thing to be so moody. Perhaps I’m manic depressive? Nuts?
What can I say! I’ve been in a shitty mood this morning.
I don’t want to talk about bagels either. What more can one say about Foley? God . . . I just hope there is some benefit from this sex scandal. And Iraq? Now there’s one helluva mess. Seems even John Warner is having second thoughts.
And YES, fuck religion! I don’t give a damn that its Sunday. I hated going to Sunday school. I’m glad I’m an adult now and can sin all I want and laugh about it and how I’m having so much fun. So why am I in such a shitty mood? Don’t tell me its because I need Jesus. Screw Jesus! And these idiots waiting around for his return. I’d break every one of the Ten Commandments if I could remember what they all were. Like I said: I hated Sunday School and did not get suckered in by those brainwashed Sunday School teachers.
I know why I’m in such a shitty mood! Mark . . . that asshole gay republican so-called friend of mine keeps saying he’s interested in getting together for a podcast. But he never shows! That asshole. I blocked his sorry ass last night on Manhunt. Yeah, he’s got all the time in the world to look for tricks, but ask him to do a podcast and he runs for cover or makes excuses. Well I’m tired of excuses damnit. It’s either put up or shut up. He’s prolly just afraid to confront me with the shithole Bush has dug for the Republican Party. Don’t worry Republicans. America has a short attention span. There are a lot of idiots and imbeciles in this country. And forgiving Christians. They can all go fuck themselves.
Well, I oculd bitch a bit about tech support….Ive been pretty lucky with my Dells and also with this monarch….This is only the second problem in 2 years and they are very good about tech. I went to monarch because Dell is a terribly Red company and because of the outsourcing, which initially happened when I was a total Dell fan and had all of my friends and family working on them….Its taken them quite a while to figure out the India thing because they didnt figure the cultural differences into their training…the concept of time and the fear of losing one’s job and the lack of ability to take risks. Monarch dosnt make laptops yet, so I got the newest Dell laptop and that has been fantastic, though Im still paying it off.
Believe me, if anyone was collecting a fund for anything I would be using it to buy a computer for some of the iner city kids I know…not to mention some of our other friends here who need upgrades pronto!
Anyway, Im halfway to skype, but the problem seems to be my linksys router, which is pretty new…
It is compulsively refreshing the incoming IP address and thus shlowing things down.
Meantime I got disconected from the Indian at Linksys who was trying to do whatever…now Im on with a new indian.
Yeah, I know networks and IP addresses and things can certainly give a man or a woman headaches. That’s for sure. I bought this broadcasting program for my Windows machine called Pirate Radio or some such name. The only thing is I could never get it to work. Seems you had to have a static IP address! Static IP address? WTF. So this Apple broadcasting program works eversomuch more easily. Nicecast just works! Woops, now I’m sounding like a fluff fluff Apple commercial. But Nicecast has its own built in server. I guess that’s why I don’t have to have a statis IP? I donno about such things. I’ll leave that one to PJ. He’s way smarter about things like that. I get headaches when I have to think to much. Oh well.
Prolly have a brain tumor from having to put up with rightwing rule and religious people for these last few years. I think we should all be able to do anything we want. Liberal nirvana. Just have fun all the time. Never have to worry about money. I’m tired of having worry about that. And never wonder where the next good fuck is coming from or when! Life would be eversomuch less complicated. Where is this utopia? And don’t tell me bible stories. Or tell me to follow the yellow brick road. Fuck God and Glenda.
I hope a house falls out of the sky onto Bush and Chaney and the Republican Party.
I’ll get you my pretty! And you’re dog too!
:paranoid: that’s me frantically looking for Toto.

Melina .. Do you have your computer on a UPS..or a line conditioner. ?? The +/- 12 volts off the computer power supply that powers the hard drives is poorly regulated. Line voltage fluctuations ( especially short power failures) can cause head crashes hence bad blocks…
Memory tests sometimes run continuously unless you stop them Some hardware problems are caused by temperature hence a test run at 6 am that finds no problems might find a problem at 3 pm after the room temperature increases.
Geeezz louise .. how much do their bagels cost..??
Lenders at the Kroger are like $2.39 for 8
Food is food once it gets to the stomach..:eek::yuck:
Perhaps I should get a line conditioner of my iMac?
That hole in the middle of the bagel kinda limits what one can place between the layers. I donno I like rye bread better. I’m just an ignorant Southerner so what do I know? So I’m content with a grilled hamburger. Yum Yum. Freshly sliced onion, lettice and lots of mayonaise. Mmm, mmm, good. Oh and a pickle. Can’t forget the pickle.
And french fries cooked till their very crispy, almost burned. Smothered in ketchup, Heinz Ketchup is best.
I’m gonna fry some fries. Made myself hungry talking about food. Yall all come down to Birmingham sometime for a grill out at my place.
Guess I’ll play some music for awhile. Tune in to listen.

Is it just my imagination, running away with me, or is Timmy Potatohead developing a rude streak? It seems as if he has a habit of talking over the end of other people’s statements. Or maybe he’s been doing it for some time and I’m just now noticing it because I don’t watch Press the Meat that often.
Seriously, I was waiting for Claire McCaskill to reach across the table and turn his lights out by the end of the debate. He was doing it to Tasker too, but not quite as much.
He did it to Woodward as well, but I can’t really blame him for that, since it seems to take forever for Woodward to force a sentence from his brain to his mouth. Good thing he’s a writer, because he would really suck as a pundit.
Not that the bar is set all that high for pundits these days.:nana:

And in other news that will make you grouchy, let’s hear from Senator Macaca!
AP: Allen didn’t report stock options
By SHARON THEIMER and BOB LEWIS, Associated Press Writers
11 minutes ago
RICHMOND, Va. – For the past five years, Sen. George Allen (news, bio, voting record), has failed to tell Congress about stock options he got for his work as a director of a high-tech company. The Virginia Republican also asked the Army to help another business that gave him similar options.
Congressional rules require senators to disclose to the Senate all deferred compensation, such as stock options. The rules also urge senators to avoid taking any official action that could benefit them financially or appear to do so.
Those requirements exist so the public can police lawmakers for possible conflicts of interest, especially involving companies with government business that lawmakers can influence.

But what is there to talk about?

Alright, I have to go now, Nick. You should setup a schedule for your live broadcast so we know when to listen.
Yes, I’ll work on that Travis. Later man
If I could get some of you out there to download skype (which is a free download) and buy a headset we could create a live call in show each week for us all to participate in. It could be fun. Or it could be a total disaster. Which might be fun also.
holy crap can you believe these conservative dip-shits on myspace! i just wish at least one person would step up to defend my point of view with me this is getting tedious!
i don’t need any encyclopedia to know we are living in the most free, most democratic country in the existense of mankind (except perhaps the U.S. during the 80’s, no draft, lots of cheap drugs and Rock and roll, baby). Let the crap on tv and the net (youtube), in the papers, on the radio etc. etc. etc. be your guide. I hear constant Bush bashing and I also see some support. I see people waiting for the republicans Oct. surprise, and what do we see, “anonomous” sources about that scumbag Foley, like these democratic cocksuckers “just found out” about it. Fascism is about the complete supression of the other sides ideas (like the U.S. in the 70’s or the early 90’s). One side dominating 3 branches of government, the press, the clergy and all relevent publishing outlets. Liberal cocksuckers like the idiot that started this post can not deal with ANY disagreement. THEY, not true conservatives, are by their own definitions the fascists. The most totalitarian regimes on the planet since Nazi Germany have been the leftist paradises of Cuba, the USSR, eastern Europe, Cambodia etc., etc. If you’re gonna get on a high horse, be prepared for a long fall motherfucker, cuz trust me, as a former republican supporter, it’s a doozie.

Hey, cnick, I don’t hate Apple products. In fact, I think it’s great that they’re a blue company. I think the more competition there is out there, the better (they seem kinda overpriced to me, though). I just haven’t found them to be the amazing, never-crashing, oh-so-easy to use critters that the hype makes them out to be (at one point, much better than windows systems, and still better at certain things than windows systems). But, actually, when I had to support Macs, they were kind of a pain in the ass.
Here at home, with both my Linux and Windows boxes, I have very little problems with anything – certainly not software-related, and I like to build my own systems, so I can control what hardware goes into them. Right now my “main” computer has some unreadable sectors on one of the hard drives. I should, really, back it up, format, and restore, but I just don’t feel like it. Plus, my nightly backup last night got some CRC errors, so I’ll have to see if that continues. We’ll see what happens.
I do have both AV and spyware scanners running on my systems (‘cuz they’re free and very easy to install), but I never get any positive results on them. Of course, I know what to monitor, what ports and apps to keep shut off, and when not to click “ok.” I don’t know a helluva lot about Linux, really, but am trying to learn.
I like free stuff, and if I hadn’t had all the microsoft apps available to me through work (and now I’m a MS “partner,” so I get everything they have, including server software), I’d probably have nothing but Linux here at home. I think open source is the way to go. It’s very “democratic” – in the true sense.
Oh well, I reckon I’ve bored y’all to tears, so off I go.
Well, the phone is not exactly connecting to the program….so I have to call tech support and see wtf is going on…but Im so tired…am getting sick I guess.
Blue, I just found out that Will has a family day at school on next Sat and I have to talk to him and see if he cares if I go or if my Mom can take him. Its a carnival and he goes off with his friends anyway…so….
nick…cant get the phone to work and have no mic without it….
Its the modem dongle….not responding….hmmm
It’s cool Melina. PJ was around here a minute ago. Perhaps he can help you. We’ll get these bugs worked out yet.
OK, I think I fixed it….it worked for the test call anyway.

I will have pics up on the blog asap…just having trouble uploading anything because of the damned computer….and thats the one where I put my photos…Maybe I can use the printer slot thing or load the software in a different computer…I am tired of tech today….
Oh and Fred- Thanks for the advice on the Memtest. I had taken the side off when it first overheated and was pretty sure that it wasnt the RAM heat sink or whatever….but if this is the motherboard it will be the second time it has failed. Tech thinks its a bad hard drive….we’ll see. Usually, if I can get the tech over here, he will change everything that he is supposed to check because its cheaper to just give new parts than to spend time messing around….
Now that Ive been all through the router, cable modem, and computer, it is a bit more peppy…so hopefully by the time I get the nre HD put in next week and my free new Linksys SRX…all on warranty…and maybe get the cable co to come over and give me an new modem…well, maybe Ill get back to some reasonable speed.
I want a new computer…so silly because that one isnt all that old yet…and Ive got to wait for Vista…maybe…depending on how and if Vista talks to XP….
I know that youre a big old pacifist Seanie….just taking your agression out on video games…
So will it be the Wii or the PS3?…..Will wants the PS3 though the word is its overpriced for what it is…and everyone says the Wii is gonna be incredible….
Lets Go Mets!! Im a Mets fan from way back….
Shit, shit, shit…N. Korea just performed a nuclear test…they are doing this to protect themselves from an invasion by America!
:pup:i am so not a pacifist! there are quite a few politicians that are getting punched in the face if i ever meet them top of the list my congressman Brian Higgins oh heres the most recent beast write-up on him
Name: Brian Higgins
Turn-ons: Avena hair products, creeping fascism, Joe Lieberman. Moneymoneymoneyomoooney… moooney!
Turn-offs: Far left ACLU-types, basic civil liberties, informed voters, fat chicks.
How I got to be The BEAST Page 3 Incredibly Full of Shit Asshole: It’s pretty funny, really. I fooled all of these people into thinking I was a liberal, you know “clean up Washington” and all that shit. They totally fell for it! Well, maybe they just didn’t like Nancy Naples’ underbite, I don’t know. Anyways, I managed to squeak by that election. Since then, I’ve been on this great program where I just have to vote against the conscience of everyone who elected me on specific issues, like, you know—unreasonable search and seizure, torture, flag burning, net neutrality, Terri Schiavo, raising broadcast indecency fines tenfold, bankruptcy protection, eternal detention without charge or trial. On each of these issues, I voted with the Republicans—sounds crazy, I know, but those guys are so into me now. I’m gonna be rich! So yeah, I’m the only Democrat in New York who voted for the Military Commissions Act—whatever. I’m pretty sure I won’t be trying to file any habeas corpus petitions any time soon, am I right? Eh?
Future Plans: That’s what’s so amazing. I’m gonna win this election no problem—I don’t even have to run any ads or anything! So it’s another two years of “hey baby, I’m a congressman”—there is no substitute for a line like that, I’m telling you.
How I’d like to be remembered: Not by my voting record—more by my casually chic wardrobe. Oh yeah, and a good punch line for the cruel joke of electoral politics. Vote Higgins, you idiots!
what good can you do us or the cause…or your mom and friends for that matter when youre in jail, boo boo?
Maybe Marc can lend you his anger management book!
Am watching MSNBC on N. Korea…now they are sorta not sure if they did test a bomb at all….they are denying…maybe it was an earthquake?
seanie, you knw about the basement snake…no?
he is a huge snake who has lived in my basement and outside for 12 years at least….he had an abscess from a rat biting him apparently and got a huge infection. He wasin the hospital for days and had surgery and today he went back to the wild. I think we may even have saved his eye…not sure yet though. I will have to find him again soon and put more neosporin on him.
And just in the nick of time because some animal is chewing inside the wall…..
Im going to sleep…feeling very lousy….maybe will cancel tomorrow and rest.
melina
warm up a mouse in the microwave on low/defrost power. drag it over b snake and leave it near his nose. body temperature is most important, movement next.
just a drive-by hello goodbye.
shit…south korean stock market has plunged….china is their allie…eeekkk….
Are Kat and Mr still in LA?
Would love to have some feedback from Mr on this….hope hes not on a plane to south korea and the demilitarized zone….
thanks roxie…I tried, but finally put him in the basement…there are plenty of rodents around the yard and some in the basement. He is pretty fat still from whatever he has been eating…but I may put another mouse or two down on the drier and leaving it for a while.
He is very strong…so Im thinking he can hunt.
