After a nice, relaxing three workdays at my alternate work site, it’s back to the other place for three days. That means I have to fight with the goddamn parking garage gate. They have these fancy schmancy RFID chips that get stuck to your windshield that are supposed to open the gate for you. Kind of like the EZ Pass, except EZ Pass is an active chip (that is, it has its own power supply), whereas these goddamn things are passive. And, frankly, the little bastard on my windshield always worked erratically, and lately hasn’t freakin’ worked much at all. Then they have the nerve to send me a nasty e-mail saying there’s no “free parking.” Yeah, well, no shit. We (and when I say “we,” I mean Granny) pay over $80 for the privilege of parking there (the alternative would be to drive as far away from work as where we live – but in the opposite direction), and take a shuttle bus in to work. Fuck that. What I really need is to get my work location permanently changed to the “good” place. Either that, or win the lottery tonight.
PJ, maybe you can get hired to housesit for Michael Vick. Granted, it’s sort of a long commute, but the house is really nice and it could turn out to be a long-term position. Just don’t bring Siggy.

On a more serious note, anyone who wants more information on dogfighting should watch the latest edition of Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel that started running last week on HBO. The footage will make you want to throw up even if you never had a dog.
I’ll try to post something cheerier next time I’m first. Sorry about that. 😀

BTW I heard about the Gumbel tape, yesterday. It sounds bad — tapes over noses — may I please have him in a dark alley for even just 1 minute? no maybe 30 seconds, because a minute he would probably be dead,,,unless I am into TORTURING VICK. WTF. NFL has to NEVER allow again — they say “Wait until sentence” 🙄 :jerk: :growl: :fist: . I want to know who knew on “his” team and said nothing about what Vick did.

The only additional thing I could use on the subject of dog fighting is something on training them to eat rethugs. We may have to clone a few thousand Tyrannosaurus Rexs to really solve that problem though.
Rethugs are 👿 (but are generally fat so they may render pretty well)
Roxie, where was this Walmart /China connection mentioned?
Here’s more Chinese import news:
The safety problems affecting Chinese goods spread from toys to textiles on Monday as New Zealand said it would investigate allegations that imported children’s clothes contained dangerous levels of formaldehyde.
The government ordered the probe after scientists hired by a consumer watchdog programme discovered formaldehyde in Chinese clothes at levels of up to 900 times regarded as safe. Manufacturers sometimes apply formaldehyde to clothes to prevent mildew. It can cause skin rashes, irritation to the eyes and throat and allergic reactions.
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f66851fc-4f48-11dc-b485-0000779fd2ac.html
In case no one heard there was also a Chinese candle recall. The candles were painted with flammable paint so that when they were lit they burned from the wick and the wax. How clever they are.
The Chinese must have the world formaldehyde market cornered they seem to use it in everything. :yuck:
Bush, in a display of what compassionate conservatism stands for, has decreed that states must enroll 95% of the children with incomes below the poverty level, $20,650 for a family of 4, before they can enroll children whose families have higher incomes.
No state has been able to meet that number.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/20/washington/21cnd-health.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
Bush is being short sighted, of course: killing off all those cheap workers before they’re old enough to work in his friends’ mines, laundries etc.
Here’s a video from Go Left TV about Chinese imports. He suggests that we send Chinese made goods to Bushie.

story borrowed from StephieAnyone here. Please explain to me why one might think the following will not work (unless you see as me):
bush obtain his position thru fakery, lies, and deceit. “It” has been proven bush LOST and Gore WON. Stop ALL Actions Now. bush is NOT A VALID PRESIDENT. Congress takes over and activates immediately over MY/OUR GOVERNMENT– Bush vacates WH immediately. Gore takes over.!!! Kerry can be VP with others in positions of power and running for 08, also. Rethugs — SINCE ALL VOTED ON RETHUG SIDE, for past 6/7 years — are on immediate propation for 5 years but 3 years we be the actual time “to be served”. Congress should not be like bush and should NOT DISHONOUR OUR FOREFATHERS. We immediately stop and reverse to get back GOV as before bush.

mentioned on aar this am, prolly ap new at top of hours. whoever mentioned it said that they were keeping it on the down-low, quietly removing a couple of brands of dog treats from their shelves since they’d received a couple of complaints that sounded possibly legitimate. not doing a recall, just a brand rrotation — yeah, right!
Thanks, Roxie. I have suspected that Walmart was getting Chinese poison and selling it anyway. That probably accounts for their slowing sales. Either their customers are wising up or dying from the stuff.
Does anyone know how to mix boric acid? I can’t remember how much boric acid to how much water and it doesn’t give instructions on the label.
killing them, you say?
http://www.itchmo.com/wal-mart-removes-bestro-chicken-jerky-strips-after-dog-death-2321
but, i’m sure it’s a coincidence!
boric acid eyewash:
Boric acid: Use a boric acid eyewash. Make a solution of one quart of boiled water and one tablespoon of boric acid; allow to cool; use with a clean washcloth or cotton ball three or four times daily; allow to dry, then rinse gently.

damn, i’m a googling fool! (i :love: the google)
I found the AP story re: Walmart.
“When we took it off shelves at the end of July, we pulled it based on the customer feedback so we could do testing prior to announcing anything publicly,” Galberth said. “That’s why did not make a public announcement — it was still going through the testing process.”
http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-ap-walpart-mart-dog-treats,0,2164346.story
So,if your dog dies, Walmart with quietly, thoroughly and SLOWLY test the suspected agent, that is if you complain and they deem you credible. Of course if YOU die, there will be no one to file that complaint.
Oops, I see Vernon beat me to it.

Caesar pacified Gaul by mass slaughter; he then used his successful army to crush all political opposition at home and establish himself as permanent ruler of ancient Rome. This brilliant action not only ended the personal threat to Caesar, but ended the civil chaos that was threatening anarchy in ancient Rome – thus marking the start of the ancient Roman Empire that gave peace and prosperity to the known world.
If President Bush copied Julius Caesar by ordering his army to empty Iraq of Arabs and repopulate the country with Americans, he would achieve immediate results: popularity with his military; enrichment of America by converting an Arabian Iraq into an American Iraq (therefore turning it from a liability to an asset); and boost American prestiege while terrifying American enemies.
He could then follow Caesar’s example and use his newfound popularity with the military to wield military power to become the first permanent president of America, and end the civil chaos caused by the continually squabbling Congress and the out-of-control Supreme Court.
President Bush can fail in his duty to himself, his country, and his God, by becoming “ex-president†Bush or he can become “President-for-Life†Bush: the conqueror of Iraq, who brings sense to the Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court. Then who would be able to stop Bush from emulating Augustus Caesar and becoming ruler of the world? For only an America united under one ruler has the power to save humanity from the threat of a new Dark Age wrought by terrorists armed with nuclear weapons.
The rantings of the fringe? Political porn for the Bush dead-enders?
No, this is from the conservative group Family Security Matters, whose board includes mainstream conservatives Barbara Comstock, Monica Crowley, Frank Gaffney, Laura Ingraham and James Woolsey.

Hyperthyroidism in cats was virtually unknown three decades ago. But it has become common, particularly in older pets. As in people, cats’ overactive thyroids can lead to weight loss, rapid heartbeat and other problems.
The increase in feline hyperthyroidism coincides with the advent of flame-retardant chemicals known as PBDEs, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers, in materials like carpet and upholstery padding, plastics and electronic equipment. So a study by Janice A. Dye of the Environmental Protection Agency and colleagues sought to explore possible links between the chemicals and the condition.

The problem is that the Bushivechs live in their own alternate reality which they strive very hard at times to make the real reality. Like Heartman said they only hear what they want to hear.

Gaius Octavius (named heir to Julius Caesar, eventually becoming Emperor Augustus) also screwed his sister. At least, according to Rome on HBO.
Rather unlike Bush, though, he ended 100 years of civil war, insisted on honest government, had a sound monetary system, put money into expanding the highway system, developed an efficient postal sytem, built bridges, aqueducts and buildings, was a sponsor of the arts and literature (he was a patron to the likes of Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and Livy), and he wasn’t an idiot fake Christian.
At least, according to Rome on HBO. :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

Chrstian Amanpour (sp?) is doing a 3 day report called. God’s Warriors. Tonight, it’s the Jewish warriors. By tomorrow morning AIPAC will declare poor Christian an enemy of the state.
Tomorrow she’ll do Muslims and Thursday, Christians.
These guys are really frightening to me. How can you argue with a person who says, “God told me.” In God’s name they destroy whatever they touch. And, they think the rest of us are just collateral damage.
Geez, Sue P. Christiane Amanpour postings need a warning. Maybe a picture or something.
What’s next? A Sylvia Poggioli reference without sound?
