Well, Wednesdays suck again (or still). Not only do I have to tread out into the cold, dark night to go to class, but I have to contend with basketball traffic, and figuring out where the fuck a student can actually park to go to class. Personally, I think they ought to cancel classes on game nights. But, once again, nobody really gives a shit what I think. Sure is nice to see some snow on the ground again, though. Hopefully it’ll last a while.
FRIST!!!
:banana::banana::banana:
And I even stayed up and watched Boston Legal last night. Denny Crane!
Was there a party you guys didn’t invite me to? :alc:
:alc:party at my house! video games and :40: and :bong: till five in the morning!
Yeah, the boycott is over. I caved a few weeks ago because I missed Boston Legal. But still continuing to not watch Lost or Desperate Housewives. And I only watch Snuffelupagus when someone like Katrina vanden Huevel is on. :hubba:
Speaking of which, Diane Sawyer is apparently doing some sort of group-interview thing with the 18 women currently in the Senate. I caught part of it last night, but forgot to tape GMA this morning. Not in the habit of taping that show. Hopefully I can catch it online eventually, as Maria Cantwell continues to be smokin’ hot.:hubba:
This is not a good way to start the work day. Maybe I should take a cold shower in the men’s room sink or something. :spank:
Good Morning. :joe: Wow, Kev, 2 hubbas before work! :tongue::jerk:
:neutral:but you know who is really hot?:hot:
:banana::hubba:kristapea!
little one to school seancrest out……
Awe! Thanks :oops::lol:
Hmm. 1 degree out there. I guess it’s our turn for some chilly weather.
Morning / Evening all, :yinyang:
This may be a drive-by.
Hey KK….Imus is on with Frank Rich,,,
what a morning….
Hillary is Nuts this AM about how bad it is now…and Imus is gonna support McCain…Hahahahah!!!(or Rudy)
I was just IMing my Mom that Imus, McCain and Rudy can all go live on crazy island together……
along with the crazy gas station guy (also a firefighter for 30 years, but , man I couldnt imagine him trying to save anyone with that belly!) who wants Rudy!
And the head of Saddam’s half brother on a pike!
Man, Im worried about Mr FK going over there…I hope he stays out of the crazy embeds that he was doign before!…..Im sure he knows what hes doing after all these years…just in an anxious state lately
PJ, how hard is it to put a blogspot blog into a regular page…..you know how ripcoco.com goes to himanbrown.com…..how hard is it to have that be the address for the address with the blogspot in it….
Like, is it a just a redirection or can I just embed the blogspot into a page (which Im sure Ill have to pay bluehost for)
Im just wondering if its easy …or somethin that I should do some research on.
:no:
druid, it looks like Bill Press may still be on up there on KGOE but I am not sure how you were listening to him.
You just publish it to your own site, instead of to blogger. That’s what I do with mine (which I hardly ever write anything for). It’s under settings>publishing and you’ll need to enter the ftp server address, path, and ftp username/password.
But if that address: http://www.ripcoco.com goes directly to himanbrown.com will I need to do anything else on that end?
Is the ftp username and password my bluehost username and password?
Kev- I thihk you should just give up your partial boycott…if you were a neilson household it might make a difference but otherwise, youd be better off writing the sponsers and the suits and just saying that youre boycotting the products advertised on the station.
Boston Legal totally lost me…I just dont like it anymore.
Last night I watched Dirt again and its just lacking….
Im fine if I have sometihng like 24 and then prison break is coming….I can hardly keep up with the podcasts as it is….
And as things heat up in the political arena….Gosh, I wish there was more good radio around here.
Obama derails Hill….its so funny….
And apparently Hill is now sorta onboard with Teddy kennedy….
But apparently Joe Lieberman is making policy for this war.
The Lamont guy started a page called Lieberwatch
after a couple of us on his little mailing list encouraged him to continue what he was doing…..
Its pretty great…check it out.
Well, first you need to do whatever it is you need to do to have ripcoco resolve to whatever address you want it to. I believe with your host, you just set it up as an “addon” domain, pointed to a subdirectory. Your ftp username and password will also depend on your host. You can probably also set up an additional ftp account, specific to that directory. Depends on the host. I can probably set it up for you, if you want.
Saw a bumper sticker last night:… SHEEple ..be heard or be the herd.:sheep::sheep::sheep::sheep:
Looks like it is safe to go out today
Bumper cars
Melina- great to see you.
what does “Imus is on with Frank Rich” mean?
Both names are familar, but overseas they mean . . . nothing.
Three local friends, an American, a Canadian, a Scotsman, and three South Africans had NO idea who they are or what thier opinion means.
Which of us is isolated?
:doh:
p.s. Iknow Rosie Odonald and Donald Trump have a thing going on, but I’venot heard a word or know or care what it is about. Being over here frees me of it.
:yawn: Morning all. :joe:
oh man, KK…if you dont know the whole rosie story youre really missing out…not!
Imus is Don IMus…..radio conservative wierdo….and rich is frank rich from the NY Times….
…
check out ripcoco for the new lieberwatch page that some of the stamford for lamont folks are into…..
Melina,
Great comments on LIEberman. I wouldn’t waste my time with his supporters, either.
:sammy:
well anytime that those dems call me I ask them if they are lamont dems or lieberman dems…..I won’t do shit for or with the ct dems unless I have to.
I have to move the parts of this huge drum set….wish me luck….

KK, if you read RIPCoco faithfully, you’d at least know who Frank Rich is. I don’t think Melina could help you with Imus, though. 🙂
Minor victory for today
Imus may not be a household word outside of the US.
You take your pleasure where you find it.
I like that minor victory, too! If KK doesn’t know the older man in the cowboy hat (he’s got to have some nasty hat hair going on under there), then hooray!
An Apology to Detainees’ Attorneys
ok, now fire that guy’s ass….NOW!
If a bunch of nitwits were occupying your country and it appeared they had created a government for you that was nothing but a puppet government which would have any initiatives put forward by them overruled if not in the interest of the occupier would you be thrilled to cooperate with the imperialist occupiers . ??:gate::omg::jason::fist::reaper::reaper:
When I was a kid, Imus was a disc jockey….how and why anyone decided that his opinions mattered is a mystery to me.
My Mom remains fond of him because of the music thing….he has good musical taste…but his political views have no foundation besides that he just sorta likes one person or another.
He supports LIEberman for really no reason…now he supports McCain for nothing….no real reason at all….just the vibe he gets….or who comes to his studio and gives him a donation for his ranch.
Hell, he liked Santorum because he went to bat for funds for the anti autism thimerisol thing. But he didnt pay attention to anything else santorum stood for.
He likes a man who will shake his hand and look in his eyes and support whatever it is Imus is on…..
very fickle and selfish, I think…and that Charles (for KK, thats IMus’s newsreader) is a total neocon or at least very right leaning conservative.
someone might benefit greatly by going back to law school and studying American jurisprudence:
You know the Iraqis can watch C-span via satellite TV too .. That might make things worse they would have to assume the entire US population is mostly insane .:reaper::reaper:
mr fk likes him, too. finds him entertaining.
Fred, that’s if they have power to run the tee vee.
(hope PJ found parking today. shouldn’t they have a shuttle for folks?)
There is no way that the US is going to get out of this for now saving much of anything; not dignity, face, integrity, LIVES. The nitwits do not have even the slightest amount of intelligence and diplomacy to save it for now.
Hopefully there will be enough people to slow down the nitwit rush into more madness long enough that maybe we will be able to have somebody to take over in two years who can begin to try to fix this. Just about 2 years from now.
However, these mutants may not have the shame to back down and who knows what that will mean. I cannot imagine that they will be willing to relinquish power and just walk away.
Dammit, FK and Melina, don’t make me do this.
I do kind of like the guy. I used to listen to his show and if I am around MSNBC I will watch him. He is not all bad. Bernard , his producer, is a total fucking redneck asshole jerk. I quit listening because of his racism and their Clinton bashing. Charles McCord is a con but he is not as bad as the over the top people out there these days.
Oh, yeah, I remember Imus as a deejay from when I was in college. He was pretty funny and I will never forget the first time I ever heard ‘Another Saturday Night’ was on his show.
Murrow goes to school tonight. Better eat, brush him out and get rolling. He stinks, but my classmates will have to take the Briard they get, not the Briard they wish they had. :tongue:
I dunno, vern, sounds like another :priest:
LOL!
:tinfoil: The problem with 32 is that it could also apply locally as well as in Iraq . Now one just has to figure out who the nitwits really are .:gate::omg::jason::jason::fist::reaper::reaper:
fred, I think in a nice, ‘oh, no I can’t believe it’ kind of way that is what I was getting at above. I am not very confident that this situation is going to resolve itself in the end the way it has in past times. I do not believe these ‘nitwits’ will recognize the power that is supposed to rest with the people. Just read that Gonzalez thing above.
The government you see if probably not the government that makes decisions for us . What you see are just their front men. There is some much more sinister organization behind the curtain.:reaper::reaper:
The only way one will ever see what that is is by tearing down the structure otherwise it is just a remodel job that puts new curtains up every once in a while :eek::rant1:
One of the many problems with the system is the way the cabinet controls the operation of the various agencies via political appointees . The government used to be pretty stable at the top level agency management level but that its apparently no longer the case . Privatization and threats from above have caused a lot of the professional career bureaucrats to leave never to return unless some significat changes are made..
Once the operation of an agency like the FBI is politically motivated by what appears to be a criminal element the only solution may be :gate::omg::jason::jason::fist:
Holy CRAP! Someone was stupid enough to give me a friggin credit card. :omg: I may be going computer shopping this week. :pup: I’m gonna get a Mac. I still have this laptop pc and my old laptop that I still need to send into Sony to see if it’s worth saving. So I will be, shall we say, “bilingual”. Funny thing is, this is the same bank I already discharged a credit card on through bankruptcy. You’d think they wouldn’t want to deal with me anymore. But maybe they think they can catch me in one of their complicated rules and change my interest rate to something ridiculously high and make up their loss. Well, I’m gonna read all that crap they sent me and pay off the thing as quickly as possible. :nod:
Yeah credit at 47% interest .. be careful.. be very careful..:eek::rant1:
kp, happy for you (I think?). I remember years ago before ATMs and EBT when some of my friends and associates indulged in things that could eat up money fairly quickly, one friend asked another if he had a credit card. His response was “Heavens, no. That would be like giving a baby a blowtorch.”
You have been listening to the serpent so enjoy your apple.
Yeah, I’m sure I am susceptible to the highest interest rates out there, so, that is why I am gonna read the stuff carefully and pay it of by August 1st.
Most of the difficulty lies in the fine print .. Usually everything works ok until your credit report gets hit by a late charge not necessarily even from the same bank then they adjust your interest rate to anything they want to .. After politicians bankers are a second group of people I visualize being chased down the street by an M1A1:eek::rant1::yuck::crap:
KP, did Fry’s approve you?
I like the Dell no interest credit deal…..
pj…if I move the blog to bluehost can I edit it all the same or do I have to use a program? I’m waiting for my computer and would hate to see what dreamweaver or frontpage would do to my laptop….
I stay right on top of the credit thing and I transfer balances to zero percent.
Fry’s turned me down. So, that’s why I’m not going to get my computer there :nana: I may just go to the Apple store.
The Justice Department, easing a Bush administration policy, said Wednesday it has decided to give an independent body authority to monitor the government’s controversial domestic spying program.
In a letter to the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said this authority has been given to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and that it already has approved one request for monitoring the communications of a person believed to be linked to al-Qaida or an associated terror group.
The court orders approving collection of international communications – whether it originates in the United States or abroad – was issued Jan. 10, according to the two-page letter to Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Arlen Specter, R-Pa.
“As a result of these orders, any electronic surveillance that was occurring as part of the Terrorist Surveillance Program will now be conducted subject to the approval of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court,” Gonzales wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press.

I guess they weren’t so damn sure that the program would be upheld by the court.
Compaq, in the person of a most polite woman in India, says my computer will be home Monday. Why does this not give me confidence?
So, did you’re computer get fixed, Sue P?
Edwards as the only credible white male candidate running for the dems….as according to Craig Crawford on Hardball….very funny…:rofl2:
KP, (re 55) that remains a mystery. First I got an email that said they were trying to get in touch with me. Then I called and got the nice lady in India who couldn’t figure out why they were trying to get in touch with me. Then they insisted that the case number which had worked the night before was invalid. So…..
Wow…Mr FK likes Imus…finds him entertaining…hmmmm….:doh:
I guess that when one spends one’s time in enough war zones, one stops taking everything so seriously. Its not like IMus is important culturally, like Howard Stern….
And he does have impeccable music taste and great music guests.
But one thing that really bothers me also is that when Dowd or Rich or anyone who seems liberal in print goes on his show they can tend ot lose their teeth a little in the friendliness. There is something about someone who has been around since the beginning of time and who helps little kids with cancer….he is friendly with everyone.
The thing is that I really think that he is one of the people who was advising Goldfart about how to program radio….and I do think that he was part of who didnt like the AM lineup.
Thats just my opinion, drawn from knowing how IMus programs and knowing that Goldfuck was/is a big friend and fan of the I-man….and that Marc kept saying that all Goldfreak did was play solitaire and listen to IMus.
YOu know, I called Dell the other night ( I had kept calling till I got Texas) and I told the woman that I couldnt speak to India or the phillipines anymore. She said that this is a big concern and that people are so turned off that the new level of elite service for the XPS is based in Austin and that you get a direct number. I told her that I thought that Michael Dell was missing a great opportunity to make a Made in the USA/Serviced in the USA line…..just an idea, but I would pay more!
Has anyone seen the new beta feature on HuffPo that is called HuffIt!
Its like Digg….really funny. If you huff a story enough it wins something…? But also there is a higher level of reader participation with profiles and blogs….
There’s no nice way to say this, but fuck Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd. When Gore ran in 2000, they promoted all the lies about him [invented the internet, Love Canal, Love Story etc] to a fare-thee-well, and like the other media whores, helped dampen Democratic turn out to a point where Baker could steal the election for Bush. Fuck them. I wish they could both be sent to Iraq for the damage they have done to this country. I really don’t want to hear their moralizing now, because we actually elected a qualified president in 2000, and they helped destroy him. Let them go on Imus’ racist show, and they’re welcome to it. :sammy:
Kevin, you should still be boycotting ABC….they have hired Glenn Beck to be a correspondent on Good Morning America. And then there’s the whole Spocko thing.
Murrow did very well tonight. But there’s this right-wing nut in class who has a “Briard.” It’s no more Briard than Siggy. They guy is a ‘Nam Vet ” (has hat and t-shirt) and I know where he lives and his house is this dilapidated two-story with pratically no paint and tons of neo-con signs in front. his new mini van has a GIANT red white and blue W on it. Murrow growled at his dog – protecting his breed, I think. I told the man that Briards can’t be pure white with spotted noses, but he likes George Bush so you know the truth escapes the man. It was really funny.
suep thanks for the link above and good luck with the computer.
When I call Delta, I get Indians and they do not understand thing I say. very frustrating.
Melina, Imus is always good to mr fk and they have fun. imus is on one of the tv’s when mr is home… i use my ignore button.
i didn’t realize rich was anti-gore, that’s disturbing, n’est ce pas?
helmet news: British (in Newark) required it be shipped with the luggage. mr fk not happy about that. Hope no one steals it . It was either that or his computer bag. I told him he should have said it was his purse.
g’night. (I miss cnick)
Kevin, you should still be boycotting ABC…

:nod:
My point is, what point is there to boycotting if you dont tell the sponsers that you are….like, only you and your close friends know, so its not like it harms them.
If you want to send a message then let them know …otherwise youre just sneaking round on yourself….
#61- yeah, I would agree…but on the other hand, in this case they are speaking some pretty good bit of truth to power, so regardless of what they’ve said or done in the past, Im unlikely to be too hateful about either one of them.
We are in shit trouble with this administration, and anyone…even Imus or bozo the clown…who wants to say something that people might listen to, Im all for…..
Boycott and anger away, but the thing about all of this is, it means nothing to the people youre boycotting or hating unless you let them know….or better, let their bosses know.
And Im happy to leave Dowd and Rich alone as long as they keep writing brilliantly about the state of things right now…later on Ill go after them for Gore being the real president, and their part in all of that tearing apart….but right now, Im happy to have them saying what theyre saying…..
:cold::cold:FWIW
The weather people here don’t seem to know if tomorrow the snow will
When my mom (from St Paul, MN) was a new bride here in the winter of 1936, it snowed. She started to get ready for work. My dad told her they wouldn’t get out for 3 days. He was right.
No snow plows then, none now
Actually I am warm and toasty on and under flannel sheets with the heat set at 53ºF
