Ah, tonight’s the night when good boys and girls all over the world will be putting their beer mugs in the freezer, hoping to awake in the morning to find them filled with Guinness or Smithwicks or Harp or Macardle, or something equally yummy. Those who have been bad this year will find their mugs filled with Budweiser.
Speaking of bad boys, our Irish Attorney General, Albert O’Gonzales finds himself more and more alone as one Republican after another tries to throw him under the bus. I just hope they don’t stop with him. This is an abuse of the office of the president, and exactly what the founders meant by “high crimes.” Unfortunately, the government moves at such a snail’s pace, two years is way too short a time to get the bastard out of there (and really, if Cheney isn’t out first, things could get even scarier than they are now).
Time to get the water board out, I think.
First? Wow, this hasn’t happened in a while.
The Young Turds are talking about George Allen. MACACA!!!
Or maybe it’s his Irish cousin, McCaca.

And speaking of lost minds, I guess in NYC it’s no longer permissible to beat them with bats at all. I mean, I prefer aluminum myself, because wood splinters.

See ya, Gonzo; its been nice to know you. But can’t we “turn” some of these rats? What wondrous tales of the inner workings of the Bush Bund might Gonzalez tell. I like the comment from one of the Dem insiders in Congress, who said, in the less than two months they’ve been in charge, every “tree” they’ve looked at “has a cat in it.” It hardly seems possible that these sordid goings on are just the tip of the ice berg, but apparently its true. What, is Bin Laden “doing” both Condi Rice and Laura, or both in tandem with Karl Rove and his pet goat? What could possibly be left? If it wasn’t for the possibility of an attack on iran, impeachment would be a positive impediment to total enjoyment of the Bush Experience. This death of a thousands cuts ain’t half bad, especially compared to where we were five years ago. :sammy:

Some of the largest glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland are moving in unusual ways and are losing increased amounts of ice to the sea, researchers said yesterday.
Although the changes in Greenland appear to be related to global warming, it remains unclear what is causing the glaciers of frigid Antarctica and their “ice streams” to lose ice to the ocean in recent years, the researchers said.

That’s what major groups — protested in ’80’s as last major rush to stop. We can make better — BUT HUMANS MADE THE TRAGEDY. :no:
At 13years then and hit the streets moreso when 14years. Many, including ME, held signs saying BACK THEN … “STOP GLOBAL WARMING” 🙄 . :smack: :fustrate: :silent and not so silent scream: D I T T O thru ’80s [saying same thing plus Save Redwoods, Dophins, Whales. Wild Hourses, MOUNTAIN LIONS, BLACK BEARS — ON OUR STATE FLAG:!: SAME as when I was 13 and 14 and every year in every decade. 🙄 :no: (directed to the non active masses) … I see and have hope from the 9, 10, 13, through 18 plus … They get it — I heard on the ol’ Mike Malloy Show.
I am trying on other projects … :smack: always trying against the odds. I do have a cat name “Wizard of Odd” :rofl2: He’s a tad ODD : – D
a.i.v. PLS DO ❗
Its snowing like hell here, but my swath doesnt really look that bad.
Its just more mud and muck fodder….
Melina , :rofl2: I am SORRY, but I have to laugh cuz I know so well driving in that eck!!! Do you have good mud/eck boots? :rofl2:
or are still in the “fantasy” of “clean snow” boots. :rofl2:

I hung out in the eighties for a while. It wasn’t all that great.
Hey- Plame might be testifying this AM on CSPAN….right now there is an issue about too many senate Dems having left town and the repugs wanting to move it behind closed doors. The dems will not allow this and will put the whole thing off rather than have a full public disclosure of the committee…this is Schumer’s committee.
This is subpoena power!
I thought today was in the House.
The media is waiting on Val’s entry on cpan
I would like to go back in time to the eighties and do a couple of things differently. :smack:
Hey, the 802.11n draft 2.0 was approved! Exciting news for geeks, indeed.
no…its a tiny parrot that has all the great parrot stuff to offer-talks, cuddles, is smart, good companion- but is tiny. they are pretty rare around here and Ive been trying to get a couple for well over a year…finally decided to just get 2 pairs of really good ones and split colors and breed them. I like the bright blue and bright green ones.
They are like a budgie with brain power…
Anyway, the bird store here wanted a whole bunch so we shipped together and Ive just brought mine home (one of them is still on the bottle and the other 3 are weaned…just weaned….) They are SO Cute!!!so playful…and a little nippy at this age!
Looks like Plame is gonna testify!
Birds cuddle??!!
I went with N when I dumped Linksys…been meaning to write about that on the tech Sedition…just too damned busy….
Its backwards compliant to b, so its not a problem so far….maybe I upgrade quicker than most people, but …whatever. I dont notice much better in the speed dept. Actually I had more range with my Linksys than with this
fancy schmancy…but Id prefer to get a Belkin extender than to go with a Linksys product ever again…..
Waxman reminds me of some Barney Fife character….Ill bet he is really funny at parties when he gets into the helium balloons
I’d like to go back to about 1986, and buy as much Microsoft stock as I could afford at $21 a share (be worth something like $8,000 a share today, if you adjust for splits).
Yeah, they cuddle….it depends on the type….
African greys dont cuddle as much as cockatoos, but many larger mcaws are like puppies…cockatoos just want to hug…they will wrap their wings around you and lay in your lap.
a single lovebird will bond to you and loves to snuggle by your neck and have its head scratched…
But then most of the large Amazons dont like to even have you scratch their heads a little…..they love to stand around and ride your shoulder and talk to you, but they dont like to be snuggled….
who knew?
I like cuddly birds, personally….
Wow Valerie looks fantastic!!
Waxman reminds me of some Barney Fife character…
He looks more like Mr. Drucker.
Ah, the 80’s stock market…the 90’s was so exciting too….until it all fell apart.
Strangely, of my little dabbling, I really only lost around 20% along the way…but at one p[oitn I had doubled my money and I didnt get out because I loved the little companies that I had picked….
now Ive got some checkfree and cisco…and that sorta stuff but its so low!!
I wish I had held on to my ebay!
This was all on a tiny basis…if I could scrounge a few hundred dollars I would buy some really cheap stock…now any year that I need a writeoff I sell a little at a loss or whatever….
Well, there is no final n, yet (several vendors, including Linksys, have their “draft n” stuff out). Now that the second draft has been passed, anything that’s draft 2.0 certified will be interoperable with the final standard (need to get draft 3.0, and then the final standard, but those are fairly minor tweaks at this point), probably with a firmware upgrade. Older “draft n” stuff may or may not be, depending on the vendor’s application of the standard.
There is some freak in pink at the back of the room….I think he/she has pink hir too…(the hearing room)
I’ll say :hubba:
Well, Im always game to get the new thing…so its not a problem for me…poor people, its aproblem for…the landfills too….
I hope that further indictments come out of this…..
its just too good….
I cant wait till she publishes her book….
Ok…I guess now is when I start yelling at the TV….
Davis is a total a-hole.
:rant1: tom davis :rant1:
Unbelievable!! Tom Davis is blaming the CIA for crimes of the Bushies!
AH-Pinky has an IMPEACH BUSH shirt right on camera behind Val….Ha!
How long till they drag him out!
I can see the shirt but the res is too low to see what’s printed on it.
Yeah, I have no real need at this point for the supposed increases in speed that MIMO provides (especially if you’re operating in a mixed environment), and I don’t want to be tied into a particular vendor for the AP and the adapter. Maybe when I feel an need for streaming HD video wirelessly, but I have no problem running wires (got them everywhere I need them anyway). At this point, I could just drop in a gigabit switch. That’d get me about 400 Mbps throughput with Windows, I think. But I don’t have any need for that at this point. And if I hang out, 10GB Ethernet over copper will be affordable before you know it.
It’s a code pink person. I can make out Impeach Bush Now.
It says IMPEACH BUSH NOW…very clearly as he/she moves back and forth! As long as he/she doesnt start yelling its OK…I think…times are a changing….if this was 6 months ago the stormtroopers would lifted that person and carried him out.
We’ve got a very active Code Pink group here in Phx. They are at all the protests handing out signs and water.
I think it’s one of your tranny friends, KP.
Go Paul !!!
They changed camera angle on her….I wonder if its from pinky….
Damn…Paul Hodes talks like a……Democrat!!!
Wow, this Tom Davis fool is quite the douchebag. He seems to think the CIA ought to go and tell everybody that somebody is covert, so don’t tell on ’em. Is it just me, or is that kind of stupid?
I don’t know how Al Franken ever partnered with him.
Well he does look like he has Down’s syndrome. Course that could just be Realplayer.

I like Marc’s strategy for dealing with Air America…
…refuse to go away.
Maybe will hear him on the radio when he’s in NY in April?
maybe you are getting both the audio of the sammy cam and the stream…that happened to me earlier

Its on TV here…but its gonna definitley be on the regular news, not to mention Hardball, Tucker, Kieth, and comedy central….. I can already see the Fox edits….
😕 whoa! where did all the posts come from! :banana:
maybe necause of the Plame hearing and also that Marc was on…?
also its a snowy friday
It’s raining ice here in the land of cheese steaks. I may go 4 wheeling later.
The House Oversight Committee website also had a live stream of it. Didn’t get to see it after James “clueless” Knodell was on. Did they rip into Toensing at all?
Funny, the radar shows snow here, but there isn’t any. That’s supposed to come later, with up to 16″. Just as we got rid of all hte other stuff, too.
I haven’t seen this posted on the blog yet, so here’s your chance to

What was Rep. Westmoreland implying by documenting that Plame and Wilson were Democrats? It seemed as if were saying that made all that the Bushies did, reasonable.
Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson, poised to sign a bill making New Mexico the 12th state to legalize medical marijuana, said Thursday he realizes his action could become an issue in the presidential race.

Sometimes I like Randi, and get a real kick out of her, and sometimes I just can’t take her (not sure what obnoxious men on the radio have to do with anything; I don’t like them, either). When she stomps on wingnuts, I like her. When she talks over a guest or a caller that I’d actually like to hear, then not so much. She’s a bit much on the I-I-I, me-me-me stuff, too. But I suppose a certain amount of ego comes with the territory.

I wonder if the O’Reilly or Limbaugh audience yells at the radio. My impression is that they are more passive.
On this blog people mention often that they yell at radios and TV’s.
Yeah, Hartmann always seems to find a way that everything relates to him, his business experience, his living in Germany, or one of his books. He’ll kind of change the subject when he doesn’t know about something, too.
I think the only thing the wingnuts yell at the radio is “you tell ’em Rush!”
Oh, wow, I want one of those Andy. It’s not quite Mechwarrior, but it’s close.
I can’t believe I still have a functioning TV or radio.
Yeah, he must be using individually controlled track drives in the “feet” to make it move. Pretty damn cool though.
Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman (R) knows he is high on the Democrats’ wish list this cycle and the first Rasmussen Reports Senate poll for Election 2008 shows the incumbent starting off below the 50% level of support. A survey of 500 Likely Voters finds Coleman leading Al Franken (D) 46% to 36% with 10% saying they’d vote for a third party option.

For those of you with animals:
A pet food maker has recalled dog and cat food. Menu foods is recalling cans that are being sold at Wal-Mart, Safeway, Kroger, PetSmart, as well as other store brands. About 60 million containers of the canned wet food were recalled after reports of kidney failure and death. The recall covers the company’s “cuts and gravy” food with the dates of December 3rd – March 6th.
Apparently, there have been reports of kidney failure, and at least ten deaths from this food.

It was only a matter of time. Not much time, either.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) today sent a letter to White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten requiring an explanation of a stunning admission by a White House official that no internal investigation was launched following the leak of classified information. The admission was made during a hearing on the outing of former CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson.
In the letter, Waxman stated that if the statements made by James Knodell, Director of the Office of Security at the White House, are accurate, the White House violated its own national security requirements.
