Ok, what do these clods have in store for us this week?
On Press the Meat, Timmuh hosts an exclusive with Carl Levin. I hope Levin pops him one right in pig fat potato head. Then it’s a roundtable with Maureen Dowd, on to snark about Clinton and Obama some more, one of Washignton Post’s hacking crew, Dan Balz, Republican presidential groupie Doris Kearns Goodwin, and the hacktacular Byron York of the National Review.
Over on Faze the Nation, Bush pal Bobby Scheiffer hosts Ahnuld da Gropenator, plus John Edwards.
On Fux News Sunday, it’s Lizardmania with Condi Rice, plus Texas Governor Rick Perry, and PA Governeor Ed Rendell.
On the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus hosts Jimmy Carter, on to tell us Al Gore should run for President, and Bush and Cheney are a couple of bumbling, incompetent, dangerous assholes (Jimmy will no doubt be a bit more eloquent), plus another visit from the Lizard Queen. Then, the Axis of Drivel is reunited again, with Cokie “the hag” Roberts, Sam :omg: Donaldson, and George :jerk: Will. Plus, actor Patrick Dempsey is on to talk about his mother’s ovaries (or lack thereof).
Over on CNN, Wolf BLitzer’s Late Emission includes Iraq’s national security adviser, Dr. Mowaffak al-Rubies, former SecState, Madeleine Albright, war criminal Henry Kissinger, crazy-ass Sam Bareback Brownback, occasional Democrat, Jane Harman, and nutty little Duncan “Screw the Buddhists and kill the Muslims” Hunter.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Mike Wallace interviews bombastc blowhard Bill O’Reilly (why?), Lara Logan talks to some of the more than 1,000 active-duty and reserve members of the U.S. military that have signed a petition calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, and Bob Simon does a story on how Fox News the Nazis created a model town to show the world they were treating Jews well.
And then there’s all your usual Sunday night entertainment fare, including, of course, an all new episode of Battlestar Galactica. Enjoy your Sunday.

Astronomy Picture of the Day
Geneaologists have found that civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton is a descendent of a slave owned by relatives of the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, a newspaper reported Sunday.
The Daily News said professional genealogists, working at the newspaper’s behest, recently uncovered the ancestral ties between one of the nation’s best known black leaders and a man who was once a prominent defender of segregation.
“I have always wondered what was the background of my family,” the newspaper quoted Sharpton as saying. “But nothing _ nothing _ could prepare me for this.”
“It’s chilling. It’s amazing.”

So glad we quit going to the moon – what a waste, right? I saw that, in 2005 dollars, the cost of the entire Apollo program was $135 billion. That’s, what, about two years worth of Iraq? And we hardly killed anybody with the Apollo missions, so where the hell did all that money go, anyway?
Damn, I wish I could get their professional genealogists working for me. I wonder if Al can get a lawsuit going?
:rofl2:
Based on the latest available US census data from 2005, the McClatchy Newspapers analysis found that almost 16 million Americans live in “deep or severe poverty” defined as a family of four with two children earning less than 9,903 dollars — one half the federal poverty line figure.
For individuals the “deep poverty” threshold was an income under 5,080 dollars a year.
“The McClatchy analysis found that the number of severely poor Americans grew by 26 percent from 2000 to 2005,” the US newspaper chain reported

I can’t imagine wanting to find my ancestors, the present day group is quite bad enough.
Heh, well, sometimes when you find out who you came from, it helps to explain who you are. Not always, but sometimes. Besides, it’s not like you have to have Thanksgiving with your dead ancestors. In some ways, that can be quite an improvement.
From Talking Points Memo:
We’re learning more about Sue Ellen Wooldridge, formerly the Justice Department’s top environmental official whose boyfriend, former Interior Department official and lobbyist Steven Griles, is caught up in the Jack Abramoff scandal. In an otherwise soft-pedaled story, her hometown Sacramento Bee quotes Wooldridge as claiming that “when I was growing up I used to castrate sheep with my teeth.” Oh, my. I didn’t realize that was how it was done.

By the way, for anyone who cares, the hardware that runs sedition radio is down for the count, and it’ll likely stay down for quite a while, as I just don’t have the time to deal with it.
Actually, yeah, that’s not an uncommon story, with the teeth.
What’s wrong with a knife or scissors? :yuck:
The person I heard from told me that his grandfather was a pig farmer, and used to that with his teeth. Which of course earned my friend the nickname “pig balls.” Worked well, since his initials happened to be PB.
:barf:
pussy pits and now pig balls? :knit2: :smack: :doh: :rant1:
Hey KP your governor is on C-span telling us why we need more scientists and engineers. What in AridZona requires more scientists and engineers. :yuck: :fustrate: :paranoid:
F-22 Raptor – All Computer Systems “Dumped” at International Date Line
ROBERTS: Twenty five years from development to deployment, the F-22 Raptor is the most advanced fighting machine in the air. But it was no match for a computer glitch that left six of them high above the Pacific Ocean, deaf, dumb and blind as they headed to their first deployment. So what happened? We turn to a man who’s at home in the cockpit, Retired Air Force Major General Don Shepperd. Don, let me set the scene. These F-22s, eight of them, were headed from Hickam (ph) Air Force base in Hawaii to an (INAUDIBLE) Air Force base in Japan. They were approaching the international date line, pick it up from there.
SHEPPERD: You got it right Don. You want everything to go right with your frontline fighter, $125, $135 million to copy. The F-22 Raptor is our frontline fighter, air defense, air superiority. It also can drop bombs. It is stealthy. It’s fast and you want it all to go right on your first deployment to the Pacific and it didn’t. At the international date line, whoops, all systems dumped and when I say all systems, I mean all systems, their navigation, part of their communications, their fuel systems. They were — they could have been in real trouble. They were with their tankers. The tankers – they tried to reset their systems, couldn’t get them reset. The tankers brought them back to Hawaii. This could have been real serious. It certainly could have been real serious if the weather had been bad. It turned out OK. It was fixed in 48 hours. It was a computer glitch in the millions of lines of code, somebody made an error in a couple lines of the code and everything goes.
ROBERTS: This is almost like the feared Y2K problem that happened to these aircraft. We should point out that computers control almost every aspect of this aircraft, from their weapons systems, to the flight controls and the computers absolutely went haywire, became useless.
SHEPPERD: Absolutely. When you think of airplanes from the old days, with cables and that type of thing and direct connections between the sticks and the yolks and the controls, not that way anymore. Everything is by computer. When your computers go, your airplanes go. You have multiple systems. When they all dump at the same time, you can be in real trouble. Luckily this turned out OK.

MINISTERS are negotiating multi-million-pound contracts with private security firms to cover some of the gaps created by British troop withdrawals.
Days after Tony Blair revealed that he wanted to withdraw 1,600 soldiers from war-torn Basra within months, it has emerged that civil servants hope “mercenaries” can help fill the gap left behind.

Another good sign, I’m sure, according to Chaney.

The word of the day is SHRIVEL. Can anyone use it in a sentence?

Kevin can’t get the image out of his head. :smack:
I’ve heard the teeth stories before but I can’t imagine that’s it’s the most effective way to do it. However,. I can see where the experience might turn one into a Rethug, the party of the emotionally impaired.
I found the most awesome house to rent in downtown Phx! It’s a 2 bdrm 1 bath with a pool! The rent is $1000/month and that includes the maintenance for the pool and yard. It has all tile floors and an AC and a swampcooler. It has an Arizona room and a fully enclosed carport I can use as a studio! I’m going for it! :yippee:
Good luck, Krista. I hope Nellie likes the pool.
She’s probably afraid of the water, like everything else 🙄
:yippee: :yippee: :yippee: YEAH KP :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:
A decent house and a non-sucky boss, what more could you ask?
BTW, what’s an Arizona room?
:pup: :pup: :pup: :pup: :pup: :pup:
An Arizona room is basically an enclosed patio.
Hey KP, congrats.
For those who care, Sedition Radio is back up again, running on some alternative equipment. Never tried it on Windows before, and, much as I hate to admit it, it’s a hell of a lot easier than running the transcoder and server on Linux.
Cool. I had wanted to listen to the Sedition this morn.
😕 😥
I can’t sleep :fustrate:
