Not sure what’s going on in the world, since I haven’t had a chance to pore over the blogs in my normal fashion. The good news is that I am done with the first final draft of my final cost model. I now have a few days to proofread it and make changes, but if you put a gun to my head and forced me to submit it as is, I could do it. It sucks, of course, but then it isn’t likely to get much better no matter what I do to it from here on out, and I don’t think it sucks so bad that it’ll keep me from graduating. Now, I think I’ll go and take a nap.
So is this an official endorsement of Edwards? Not criticizing, just curious. For what it’s worth, I liked the ad.
I like at least five of the folks who are running [and keep in mind, if you’re writing off someone because you don’t think the candidate was sufficiently anti-iraq war, that being president starting in ’09 will probably have very very little to do with Iraq] but Edwards makes me a little nervous. If you’re running as a Dem, the corporate media has put a bullseye on your back. The haircut thing was so depressingly predictable, as was the big house story and the bloggers story. These media whores are bastards; he’s simply got to be more careful. And its not pleasant to think about, but what the hell does he do if he wins the nomination, and Mrs. Edwards becomes extremely ill, to the point where all we hear is “why is he campaigning? why isn’t he staying with his wife? Does he love her? etc etc]. This is a disgusting business, and to me, it looks like Edwards is ill equipped by temperament or personal circumstances to deal with it, although i like him..
I know there are four GOP candidates who are cancer survivors,but none of them seems to be in a comparable health state to Mrs. Edwards.
By the way, wouldn’t it have been a wonderful start to the campaign for just one of the candidates to have told Brian Williams that his question is ignorant, trashy and not worthy of an answer, and that if he disrespects us again there will be consequences against you and your network?
And since the French thought it was fine for their candidates to debate for 2 and one half hours, why not make this the year where we put pressure on the networks to air only a true back and forth debate, instead of the dog and pony shows emphasizing the wit and charms of our very fine network correspondents, who get equal billing with the candidates?
Good Morning :joe:
Everyday that Bill Press Suit has a radio show he shows his wimpitude. Today he has Mike Allen from Politico, a Drudge-loving news site.
I love John Edwards and I think that he is alot tougher than people think he is. I dont think that he and Elizabeth are in this thing other than to be of service to others , as they have been since their son died.
I think that America needs to get in touch with the fact that a certain group of people are paying $400 for haircuts, and those people who gained form our capitalist system are more capable of giveing back…
Americans out there have been encouraged to aspire to win the lottery and be very rich like that, but the logical questions about how the country should handle those who have been that lucky and smart is not to just hope to be them one day but to let them have their $400 haircuts and insist that they pay the highest taxes because they are lucky enough to be able to!
One thing I like about Edwards is that his message has been vasically the same for years. I think he is right about what is wrong with this country…but now the middle class is joining the other america and all the jobs have gone global….
The cancer thing is so common right now…its pretty unusual that someone would just die that quickly…but who knows? The thing is that it is so common that…what if we all got hit by a bus tomorrow…what is so wrong with seeing any part of what being a real human is…with the suffering and all.
Its unlikely that she would just up and die in the middle of this thing, but even if she does…why not cross that bridge when we come to it?
so, tucker is on for imus but it could just be because of the debate. he brought his black friend with him…maybe borrowed Colberts?
Is that horrible person still subbing for sam?

it goes from a “riot” to a “clash”…
eya pj!
i remember that stage of “first final draft’s”
if ya send it to me
i’ll proof it.

is to have a few minor flaws up front for that grading pencil.
then they settle down and actually read what you’re trying to say eh?

we can do so much better… just waiting for progressive radio ver.3.4
something that’s delighted me for years,
waking up before dawn and listening to different bird calls as each species wakes up and takes the stage.
the young ones have hatched for some, and are clamoring for breakfast.
WOW, Isn’t that wee bit of a “Clash” worthy of a “bloody” investigation? I had better call quick since “they” and Mayor are trying to “sweep” ALL under the rug. Now I can hardly write this without shaking. Calling the Protesters Anarchists — and saying beating up women and children is okay. :smack:
…have to run to do downstairs work, and then deal with “clash” a bit.
A.I.V. … Dark Angel Butterfly ….. Stand Down
“clash”
in a pigs ass!
SOS DD. event organisers need to get their shit together.
I agree with Melina, and I think that Edwards can use the attacks to his advantage by pointing out that three’s no law requiring someone to become a Republican and favor the “I got mine and f**k you” doctrine just because he becomes successful. That’s why they hate him so much — he makes them look bad.
Oh sweet Jesus!
Yes Sunshine Jim, I had some wild and wonderful birds and hummingbirds.
But “being in town now (said with a snapping Z ) I buy wild bird seeds , which basically ends up with me feeding the pigeons. I know many growls because I feed the birds or maybe it is the song I sing

The original Young Turks! I watched this excellent show about Ahmet Ertegun last night. I am not sure when it might run in your town if it is not already done, look it up and run it down. I wish someone like Ken Burns would make this a 10 hour epic. You get some Booker T and you get some Led and much more.
Druid, There is a lot of MacArthur Park news out there if you Google in the news. The sweet green icing will be flowing down.
Happy Birthday to the real Godfather JB! Good god, y’all!
And all of this talk about the big duck phalli and nothing about the big duck breasts :boobs: ?

Yo Dawgs-
If you missed the shows with Garofalo and Rollins here’s another oppurtunity to see me this Friday at the UCB Theater here in Los Angeles this Friday May 4th at 9:30.It will be a bit different though. I’m going to be trying to get at the heart of some new shit or, as like to call it, Power Floundering. It will be entertaining. I promise. It just might not be entertaining in the right way.

My personal opinion is that the haircut is a non-starter. We tried a “down home,” “everyman” Connecticut cowboy, non-intellectual type, and everybody capable of thought realizes what a disaster that was.
“8 and 11”
proof read offer was real, so was the advice.
my college stuff was all ‘honors’ level calibre. i know the ‘system’.
# 11? just my morning coffee meditation.
and a good morfternoon to ya! (just after 10 here)
:rofl2: at first i thought the asian chick was michelle malkin. i was confused as to why PJ would put a video of her up i was very relieved when i found out it was a hot LIBERAL asian chick……
oops! #8…..
yup, equal parts Po’d, cynicism, frustration, sarcasm and WTF?
At one point in Giuliani’s reign he decided to outlaw ferrets in New York City. (No, I have no idea why he did so.) Of course all those ferret keepers were not happy and one called Giuliani on his weekly radio show. The exchange is a wonderful example of Giuliani world. Here’s the audio:
http://www.oliverwillis.com/files/rudy_ferret.mp3
Sue P (I always want to add Sales),
Rudy is a gift that will keep on giving. Unfortunately, *holes like this becomes president sometimes.
BTW, ferrets are illegal in CA. No Gere jokes, please.
Thanks for the offer, SJ. AT this point, I just need to review my spreadsheet and assumptions, and make sure I covered everything. This program doesn’t require a thesis, it’s a capstone project requiring the cost modeling of something, with sensitivity analysis. Consists of a spreadsheet cost model with supporting documentation and analysis. For some reason which escapes me at the moment, I chose to model the feasibility of a national US wireless carrier making dual-mode (Wi-Fi and cellular) handsets capable of seamless VoWLAN/cellular handoff and 802.11 data services available to subscribers. I’m taking today off from it, as a mental health day, and will just give it a quick look tomorrow, and probably submit it on Saturday. By the way, if that sounds dull when I explain, it, imagine having to research and write it. Bleh.
In fact, I have a batch of beer ready for bottling, so I think I’ll go do that now.

beer and snarkettes!
what could be better?
Ferrets are smelly – they’re a cousin of the skunk, and they have some sweat glands removed, but its an incomplete process, or so the pet store owner told us. The smell remains. They’re extremely playful and affectionate, and rather tame, except that if little kids handle them roughly they are prone to give a nip in self-defense – all in all, a good pet if you have good ventilation, and like bathing the weasel.
Giuliani’s fetish is pathological on this strange subject – kind of freudian, the ferret being so long and thin……Hmm. Sorry if its politically incorrect, but I distrust phony macho types with lisps. :sammy:
Speaking of closet cases, Chris Matthews is the moderator of the War Party debate tonight! I’ll bet he’s getting a chubby just thinking about it. None of those annoying strident female pols for the Repugs, that’s for sure! :sammy:
Hey, speaking of the debate, is anyone planning to watch it and give the rest of us the lowdown? I’d offer, but I won’t have cable until I move next month.
And speaking of the lowdown, it’s Thursday and time once again for…

The News Hour has a report on the LA police riot tonight.

We can only hope.
To override a veto you need a 2/3rds vote of the members present not of the entire body.. Time to serve the rethugs some good Mexican food for lunch. :omg: :crap: :crap: :crap:
If they really want to secure the border with Mexico they should institute a draft to raise the 200,000 some troops necessary to do that. Once that proves unsuccessful they can then extend their duty and send them to Iraq that should end the war in about 6 months. :jason: :jason:
aquaman, join the present
andy, over here
That’s one of the things I miss about Sam and MS too Melina, all the information. Grand Nagus Lionel? – I don’t think so, Miller? — not likely. It’s now just a little harder to stay informed.
Northern exposure
American soldiers are fleeing the Iraq war for Canada — and U.S. officials may be on their trail. North of the border is no longer the safe haven it was during the Vietnam era.
I don’t know about the LA basin but a lot of immigrants in the Denver area are not from Mexico but are from Nicaragua,Guatemala and El Salvador where the older ones participated in interactions with the School of the Americas trained anti communist ( pronounced pro United Fruit Company) military units.. They are not people you want to get ticked off. :reaper: :reaper:

I have to drive Ben home….been working on his other paper
As a comment on last weeks tragedy at Virginia Tech I was rather appalled at the memorial service which looked more like a pep rally.. If the problem with the “mad man” was indeed an issue with his observation of the decadence of the “rich brats”.. don’t be surprised if incidents of this type increase as the class divide in the SBR increases. In a lot of countries in South America there are two seperate societies that seldom interact simply because of this kind of problem. :reaper: :reaper:

re: VPI
fred, you are probably closer to the truth than anyone has cared to look so far as I have seen. It would be a little too deep for this country or that state (where I grew up from 12-20) to try to understand. Too easy to dismiss without introspection.
And, yes, Drude, VPI would be the USC of that state.
I am going to try to watch the debate. It is unlikely that I will be able to stand it. But, I shall try.
:barf:
Watching Giuliani will be the most difficult.
I am surprised that no one has posted the video of Giuliani announcing that he has prostate cancer, is dropping his senate campaign, is dropping his wife ( news to wife) and is in love with Judy Judy. I believe it would end his campaign and provide a very good laugh for those of us with character flaws such as I have.
Then for dessert there is the wife’s response basically saying Judy Judy ain’t the first.
Holy Crap!
Who are these *holes?
Why am I here?

Didn’t know I was snapped back to the past. 😳 :rofl2:
:pup: gypsy says hey… :pup:
Ditto, Vernon. I particularly like the idea that cloning made Romney decide to be pro-life. What the nexus is I don’t know.
I am pushing my friend in Tacoma to hit the Maron show. Sorry I did not plan to make it up but maybe next time.
Wow what a debate. Its just riveting when Romney explains how he suddenly became anti-abortion – apparently the ghost of Rehnquist appeared at his bedside – or was it the Angel BonJovi? It was a heart-felt conversion, that’s for sure.
This guy is a throwback to the old fashioned corporate Repugs -His “I saw the light” schtick wouldn’t convince a cow – no way the trailer park base is going to buy either Romney or Rudy.
The best part of the debate is that they told the audience not to applaud. This instruction was totally unnecessary.
Hey, the Jazz are hanging in there. :sammy:
I can’t watch anymore. But, I thought it was more comical than infuriating. Unfortunately, it was also nauseating.
They certainly are a religious group. It sounded like an interview for chaplain—-or biggest b*shit thrower.

Daily Kos is doing a blow by blow – its a public service, because it is utterly horrifying that one of these psychotics could be allowed to own a handgun, much less the nuclear arsenal.
