Iran ready to launch a satellite into space: report
Iran is on the verge of launching a satellite into space that could herald a new dimension in Teheran’s strategic capabilities, Aviation Week and Space Technology said on Thursday on its website.
A recently assembled, 30-ton ballistic missile-turned space launcher could also be used for testing longer-range missile strike technologies, the magazine said it will report in its January 29 issue.
The Iranian space launcher ‘will liftoff soon’ with an Iranian satellite,said Alaoddin Boroujerdi, chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, according to the weekly.
Boroujerdi made his announcement during a speech to religious students and clerics in Qom, where Iran has conducted some of its ballistic missile tests, said the magazine without indicating when he spoke.

I wonder if the German press in about 1939 was reporting all the surplus ( new) naval vessels being leased to England
The satellite is probably to spy on our spy satellite which is spying on them while being targeted by the Chinese anti satellite weapon, :yawn: :yawn:
We have some real bright lady from Colorado on C-span who says we can combat global warming with agrifules. I hate to differ but anytime you burn any hydrocarbon you get CO and Co2 .. she probably gets her research funds from ADM :fustrate: :fustrate: :rant1:
She probably voted for ALLTurd and Tancredo too. :yuck: :barf: :crap: :paranoid:
good morning Fred….lookee here:
So why isnt brain damage a good treatment for smoking?
They say: well, of course we couldnt go in and hurt that button…
why not?
Aaaargh! I forgot to watch Maron from last night. Oh well, something fun to do when I get home from work.
Our stretch of good weather finally snapped. It got down to 40 degrees last night, and is only up to about 45 degrees this morning. This is the part where all of you who live in colder climates call me a wuss. Believe me, the first year I lived down here I did the same thing, but now I’m shivering along with the natives.
Speaking of shivering, if anyone is looking for a good movie to see this weekend, go catch Notes on a Scandal if you haven’t already. Judi Dench will send a shiver down your spine… way creepy. Cate Blanchett is very good in it too.
A hearty :fire: to Granny, Junior and anyone else who will be in DC tomorrow. I’ll be watching the coverage and wishing I was there.
:fist:
Its chilly here today….very dark
I wonder if the world ended in the night
:banana: :banana: Morning Melina :banana: :banana:
From what I can see in around 30% of our population it is debatable if there is a brain present to start with .
but they all seem to have that button as evidenced by all the smoking down south and in middle america!..
C-span says they are going to televise the demonstration in DC on Saturday.
not that we dont have it on the edges, but maybe we just pass laws making it harder to be addicted earlier than the heartland and the lower abdominal section of the country.
8 degrees here apparently….

Well BlueHost has stayed up for twenty minutes ..maybe they moved our blog to the severs in India ?? 😮

I just can’t forgive the rethugs for all these years of lies. I just want all rethugs on probation 🙄 :doh: :dancers:
I just can’t forgive the rethugs training 86% of this nation to continue to believe in LYING…
I just cannot get my brain around that. “It” is just “illogical and does not compute”! :not-so-silent-scream: :fustrate: :paranoid:
Yes, I feel just F.I.N.E.! :doh: My Head Hurts 🙄

The thug party must have setup these callers ahead of time.. If they are at all representative of the attitude of real Republicans we need to have a free party for them on a pacific atoll where they will supposedly be handing out hands full of 1000 dollar bills .. then we borrow that SS27 for the afternoon .. :jason: :jason:
Hey Dru- Well, I agree…and I said so on my blog. I am the first one to be thinking that all the time, but in order to work our way through this we NEED guys like this to finally find their conscience and open teir eyes.
I think it all depends on what he does next.
Remember, if to give the benefit of the doubt to the few who were maybe so stupid that they didnt see what a lay person like me could easily see…. can we forgive? Well, Ive been around enough to know that its not what someone says but what they do. So, I will embrace the spirit of the thing and hope that he can turn some more of the republicans.
These guys have to come to terms with the fact of lies to them that caused them to lie. It takes a pretty big person to say that they are wrong ….especially these power politicos.
Kristapea, Just another beautiful day. giggle. I have young friends moving this year to Arizona — they have a few family and friends there.
I gave you a response re Art and The Cosmos (pixs) and Us yesterday/eve ….. 😉
a.i.v.
Its really hard in all of life not to stand there and say, well, where were you?…isnt it?
Its absolutely true but it becomes a deeper truth in itself.
I watch certain people in my family have a new awakening every few years complete with declarations of wrongs and Ive changed’s and all…and Ive learned to just sort of nod and wait….
Its liek the adopting Buddhism thing….I call it the last refuge of scoundrels.
I suppose that and AA or rehab of your choice!
I found this great chair at staples yesterday…its the wrong color (brown) but was on sale, then the floor model, then I had a $30 rebate coupon for any purchase over $150…..so I just said screw it and bought it….
And it is SO COMfortable…which I need after dragging it all over the freakin world. Its some kinda staples or Lane brand leather executive chair….unbelievable. It makes me think that I may get a little work done here now that I have a comfy seat.
…and it occurs to me that any of these assholes who didnt know about this, blindly believed this admin, or couldnt figure it out…no matter how sincere the apology…can not possibly be smart enough to be president…as Hagel is angling for.
I do actually think that Hagel is a sharp cookie…and that he knew and knows. He sounds very sincere to me and I like the words hes saying, but I know that a big part of this is driven by political motives.
So, I choose to use him as a mouthpiece to draw rats…a life raft of sorts as they desert the sinking ship.
granny and PJ, are you guys really going to DC this weeken for the march?
I sorta wish we could go but Will has a Dr appt and also sunday is Origami USA folding meeting at the museum of natural history…which means I have to go to grandpa’s and deliver groceries and fix stuff….
Ill bet its gonna be big and really fun….
here is a nice tip for PC users:
When browsing websites, we all make extensive use of the “Back” button on our browsers. Usually we move our mouse to the top left of the screen and click the button, but there are a couple of much faster and easier way to do this:
– Right click on the page body (not on a link or graphic) and “Back” will be the first pop-up menu option.
– Press the Backspace key on your keyboard. Note: make sure you do not have your cursor in a text or the URL field.
Both of these work in IE and Firefox and can save you the trouble of having to move your mouse across the screen.
Granny & Jr: safe travel & protest :gate: :fire:
(wish i could be there with you)

turmoil here. we had a death in the family and mr. fk is trying to get to OK for the funeral (brother’s grandson – 23 years old). mr fk was trapped at the baghdad airport yesterday for 12 hours. too much gunfire to fly out, too much gunfire to get back to the compound. he eventually got back to the compound. haven’t heard from him today so don’t know what the deal is at the moment. i think that place has imploded.
Im thinking of Mr FK…how horrible to lose someone so young…and especially from the middle of a war zone.
I hope he is OK…hours in airports is not good for anyone.
I wish he wasnt working over there..I wish no one was.
How could we have screwed that place so badly?
Oh my 😯 , pray be safe Mr. FK. :gate:
Melina, yes, that is why I HAD written — on Will’s 13 years BD — about how I became “enlightened” at 13 years and that most ADULTS did not hear “what was going ’round” [then with a :kiss: to Melina with me saying [as if to Will] “BUT He (Will) has a parent who GETS IT :nod: so some give gifts on their BD to “special ones” [ie Melina]] … and something about my rats new nicknames {Willard and Ben giggle} — makes me remember LOL) “fighters for the cause” folk with their young ones in tow. One friend had FIVE –5 — kids, my sis had 1, others had usually 2 or 3 –EEK … But I would remind the “dear ones” to worship their folks (moms usually) since they are teaching the Future. 😉
I have been very active and after a certain time, extremely active. And am working on next directions — with groups and my on my own projects — now that I am “in town now”. Perhaps it was police/sheriff/ with a touch more — background and a bit of lessons from The Art of War….whatever … but I always NEVER FORGET NOW what I Have Seen throughout the years.
But they should now be watched and not trusted for years!
But this is a good debate with more tofollow 😉
Well, I have to do some chores, BREW and INFUSE TEA :joe:
before work :doh: and I hope The Maron. :pirate: 8)

The Republican-controlled FCC — which makes far-reaching decisions on telephone, television, radio, Internet and other services that people use daily — has sparred infrequently with Republican-controlled congresses. But the Democratic-run 110th Congress is about to heat up the grill, starting with a Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee hearing on Thursday.

“The Pledge” internet petition is gaining no steam in support of the 20K surge:

As a watcher of these internet petititions, this looks dead in the water even though many big-name blowhards have signed it such as Instaputz, Spew Spewitt, and Cap’n Special Ed.
For example, the Morning Sedition petition was way ahead of this one and pales in comparison in “importance” to the future of this nation.

Maine became the first state in the nation yesterday to officially decline to comply with the Real ID Act of 2005, the federal law that critics say lays the foundation for the creation of a national identity card.
Both houses of the state Legislature — unanimously in the Senate, 137 to 4 in the House — approved a resolution rejecting compliance with the act, which requires states to replace their current drivers’ licenses by May 2008 with forgery-proof cards embedded with private information. The legislatures urged its repeal .

Memo to Tim Russert: Dick Cheney thinks he controls you.
This delicious morsel about the “Meet the Press” host and the vice president was part of the extensive dish Cathie Martin served up yesterday when the former Cheney communications director took the stand in the perjury trial of former Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby.
Flashed on the courtroom computer screens were her notes from 2004 about how Cheney could respond to allegations that the Bush administration had played fast and loose with evidence of Iraq’s nuclear ambitions. Option 1: “MTP-VP,” she wrote, then listed the pros and cons of a vice presidential appearance on the Sunday show. Under “pro,” she wrote: “control message.”

“I suggested we put the vice president on ‘Meet the Press,’ which

People actually click the backie forthie buttons? Go figure. BTW, shift+backspace will go forward. Also, the alt key in combination with the arrows (forward for forward back, for back) also works. The space bar will scroll one page at a time. alt+T will open a new tab. Using the mouse scroll button to click on a link will open the link in a new tab (as will holding the control key while clicking on a link; shift and click to open in a new window). Control + F brings up the find (on the web page) dialog. Control + W will close the window. Alt + F4 will close the application entirely. Alt + T will switch between applications. Control+Shift+Esc brings up the task manager. If your keyboard has a windows key, use it in combination with other keys will do various things. Win+D minimizes all windows to show the desktop. Do it again to bring ’em all back up. Win+R brings up the run dialog. Win+F brings up the search (computer) dialog.
Most of these shortcuts work in any application, and there are plenty more. Invest the time upfront to learn the shortcut keys, and you will make your life much easier in the long run.
Damn, Teddy K was great. Too bad the Republicans are so shameless.

Hmm. Big blob of precipitation from Lake Erie down to just north of Morgantown, looks like it’s headed from southwest to northeast. Shouldn’t be a problem for Granny driving, so that’s good.
Sorry to be so rude, good morning to everybody in the bloghouse. Thanks for the tips.
All the best to any and all travelers and demonstrators..Special wishes and thoughts and condolences to FK and Mr.FK.
Does Hagel still own voting machines? Certainly he still has friends in the biz.

I’m getting really, really tired of this “pass gas” commercial.
so…whqt did marc say?….I didn’t get the headset that fits this freakin fone yet! Who knew that the plug would be just a tiny bit smaller than the standard….bastards!
:doh: fuck! i forgetted marc is on seder on friday morning!
I listened, but I don’t really remember him saying much of anything.
Damn, it was up to 8 outside, and I thought it was gonna maybe get to 10, but now it’s back to 7.
Can a dogs color blindness distinguish yellow water ?? .. Ehhh.. I suppose its just a little salty :yuck: :paranoid:

He said that the death of Steve Irwin was a hit and brought up the kid dangling incident but Seder cut him off.
A dog’s sense of smell can do a lot more than any pair of human eyes. But I don’t think a little piss would be a problem. Not when cat turds make a tasty tootsie roll.

Howdy, seditionisti! I’ve been traveling and trying to fix my computer (still trying) and playing lady of leisure (trans: Falling asleep on the couch as soon as I get home.) But I think of my bloggren often.
A friend of mine from high school will be in DC this weekend for the obvious reason. She emailed me earlier today and said she’d just seen the weather and it was just like the good old days; she would once again be freezing for peace. LOL!
Stay warm, all you folks who can go. I’ll be thinking warm thoughts for you. But now I have to go trek home. (Still have no car and it’s still a bloody LONG commute!) I’ll try to get back at you all tomorrow from the warmth of my computer desk…
p.s. Has Blumenauer’s phased withdrawal proposal made it to the floor of the House yet? I’ll check when I get home but I just read it and it sounds like a good compromise.

Glad Mr made it out, though I wish he was leaving under better circumstances. Much as it’s good to know there are real journalists over there trying to tell the real story, I think he should just say no when it comes time to go back.
Yeah, the cat owns you. Or, in this case, the cat(s) own my wife, and are part of a package deal. This weekend, however, they have been sequestered to the basement (which is finished and full of lovely furniture and carpeting to puke on, so don’t feel too bad for them). It’s just us guys on the main floor, at least for tonight.
Speaking of da wife, she’s made it to DC safe and sound, despite a bit of nasty weather between here and FK’s mom’s hometown of Binghamton. Took her quite a while, but then she actually does stuff like stop along the way (go figure).

Well, Siggy’s sacked out on his bed, so he’s not exactly a wild and crazy bachelor. I guess we’ll have to skip the hookers.

Oh yeah, Siggy needs to go out. :tongue:
Yeah, and this funnel thing just isn’t working out. I may have to drill a hole through the wall.
Maybe you should just put the end of the hose in a 5 gallon bucket. Is it for condensation .
Um, not exactly. Unless you consider what happens when you drink beer to be “condensation.”
Oh! Yeah, watch out for that yellow condensation.
