Seeing as it’s hump day, I thought I’d pass something along to those of you with teenage kids who are looking for a great opportunity this summer. It seems that Senator Wide Stance Larry Craig is looking for a few good interns. According to his press release:
Idaho Senator Larry Craig is currently seeking intern applications for the summer term, which runs from May to August. The application deadline is March 15, however if more time is needed for the application process, please contact Senator Craig’s office for an extension.
Yes, it’s true. If your teenage son has what it takes, Larry Craig is willing to give him an extension. Probably even multiple extensions. He might even provide free transportation to DC, as long as you don’t mind making a connection at the Minneapolis airport.
Hey, Art, I have never wiped the foam off another man’s mustache (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
However, if that guy in the commercial you saw needs a summer internship….
Keep in mind that Craig has a narrow mind, but a wide stance.
Yes, it’s true. If your teenage son has what it takes, Larry Craig is willing to give him an extension. Probably even multiple extensions.
And if your son has trouble completing the paperwork, Sen. Craig will be happy to reach around and help him out.
:rofl2:
Hey, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, was that the lady that Maron interviewed in the tub?
Comment by Kristapea — February 26, 2008 @ 6:44 pm
That was Corrine Brown of Florida. Stephanie Tubbs Jones is from Ohio, specifically the district in northeast Ohio next to Dennis Kucinich.
“Tubbs” would have been a good nickname for Rep. Brown after that interview, though!
:rofl2:
(Everyone now needs to take a moment to remember how much we miss the only show bold enough to do bathtub interviews. Although Maron and Riley didn’t know she was in the tub until she told them at the end of the interview.)
:joe: :joe: :joe: :joe: :joe: 😮 😮 :yuck: :crap: :paranoid: :fustrate: 😯 😯
AAAARRRRGGGG :sheep: le
pj- have you seen that commercial? I think it’s for bud-lite (which I know you would never be a part of. It’s showing well-known rivals drinking american piss-water together. So the Syracuse guy is drinking with who ever your big rival is. When I saw the orange sweatshirt guy I thought of you :alc: 8)
I thought I signed in prior to work downstairs. 😮 😯
Tea Cheers All … and I even have tea this time :banana: …A!I!V!
No, I haven’t seen that Art. Real Syracusans wouldn’t drink Bud Lite, of course, but we have a lot of college kids from NYC and Long Island up here going to school, and I’m sure they’d drink that shit (while bitching about how much it sucks up here). I always ask ’em if it sucks so bad, why are mommy and daddy paying $50 grand a year for you to be here?
The LI kids are the best. They’d tell me how much Upstate NY sucks, and how great NYC is, and then I’d find out they’ve been to NYC about as many times as I have.
Or they’d make fun of the lo-cal news people (which I do, too, I must admit), and then I’d see Lloyd Lindsay Young on WOR, and think, “man, he’s goofier than anything we’ve got up here.”
Actually, Marc figured out she was in the tub early on. When she splashed water Marc said, “are you in the tub??” And she coyly admitted that she was. 😳
Dave Lindorff: The Welch Whitewash: We Still Don’t Know What That Aug. 30 Nuke Incident Was About
A new report on the August 30 incident in which six nuclear-armed advanced cruise missiles were effectively “lost” for 36 hours, during which time they were, against all regulations, flown in launch position mounted on a pylon on the wing of a B-52H Stratofortress, from Minot AFB in North Dakota across the continental U.S. to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana, has left unanswered some critical questions about the event.
Wow, it’s gonna be 83 degrees today. Guess I better break out my short sleeved shirts. And sunny, I forgot to mention its going to be very sunny. 8)
The Bush Financial Bust of 2008: “It’s All Downhill From Here, Folksâ€
Only for people who really like reading BAD news.
Wow, CNN is reporting that Bill Buckley has died.
Does anyone else remember those Bill Buckley/Gore Vidal
debates that used to be on TV in the late 60s or early 70s?
I was a small child at the time (really!) but I remember
how they made politics really fun and provocative with
their snide remarks and lifted eyebrows. I probably gained
much of my extremely large vocabulary watching those
discussions as well.
Oh, I learned the word perspicacious from Bill Buckley (my mom used to call him the crocodile because of the slow deliberate way he’d speak).
He’d tell Gore Vidal something like , “I’d have thought you were much too perspicacious to be taken in by such a spurious argument, but apparently you are not as sagacious as you would have us believe.”
Rather snowy here. It looks absolutely beautiful, as yesterday’s wet heavy snow is holding on to all the tree branches, now that the temperatures have dropped down into the teens. It all looks like a postcard or a Christmas card out there.
Andy, your #13 link is one scary article.
Lately I had been wondering if it was time for the FDIC limit of $100,000 per depositor per bank be raised to something like $250,000 or as high as $1,000,000. Not that I have a spare million bucks needing insurance…
And now for something totally different
Africa’s lesbians demand change
Oh, I just spread my millions around to different banks so I don’t go over the limit. 🙄
And so, the march to the McCain presidency begins:
With just one special election, Democrats in the state Senate find themselves one seat closer to wresting four decades of control away from Republicans and giving one party total control of New York’s government.
Democratic Assemblyman Darrel Aubertine upset Republican Will Barclay in voting Tuesday for the state Senate’s 48th district — a seat nestled on the shore of Lake Ontario and held by the GOP since at least the 1880s.
“It’s a historic victory,” said Democratic state party chairwoman June O’Neill. “The state Democratic party has proven that if we can do it here, we can do it anywhere.”
With the loss, Senate Republicans now have just a 32-30 lead over Democrats in the chamber.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Wednesday he planned to defy a threatened White House veto and try to win passage of a bill to curb rising home foreclosures by changing bankruptcy law.

Re: 20 just goes to show that Amerikans are still the same IDIOT MORONS they were in 2004 when they reelected Bunny pants to office. :tap: :tap:
Yeah, Aubertine isn’t my district, but it’s a neighboring one that shares the teevee market. We were blasted by negative ads by both sides – but mostly by the schmuck who lost, Barclay. Glad to see him lose. Love to see Joe Bruno out on his ass.
Now, I’ve never heard of this Cunningham guy, but doesn’t he look like he’s wearing a woman’s pantsuit in the photo with this story? Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
They tried to make her keep a court date, she said no, no, no.

Druid! Just heard your call into Jeff’s show from yesterday! :yippee:
Sadly, though, both the remaining candidates for the Democratic nomination are supporters of coal subsidies, and both voted in favor of the Tester amendment to the energy bill “that would have provided $200 million in grants and $10 billion in taxpayer loans for projects to turn” solid coal into liquid coal. Fortunately, people like John Kerry and Barbara Boxer led the fight to defeat it.
Also sadly, Clinton inexplicably backed a plan for the International Paper Company to burn tires up here in Ticonderoga, NY to power their mill. Vermont threatened to sue, and eventually the company gave up on the plan.
That pissed a lot of people off in NH and VT and here in NY.
Actually, for all I know the ‘poll’ is bullshit. I just meant the traditional media push to bring us the Maverick McCain administration appears to be in full swing.
Are you on the Sammy chat PJ?
vernon- Just listened to your phone message. Sorry to hear about your laptop. I went ahead and walked myself through the ‘healing’ waters of Itunes Help and didn’t drown. I couldn’t tell you exactly what I did but it’s working again.
Thanks for throwing me a rope 😉 Hope you’re back online soon :nod:
pjsauter, 😉 AND Obama is for Nuclear(Waste) Power and Liquid Fuel …. she has always been more “Open” to New York than Obama.. I will fight that rubber (yuck :yuck: ) horrid Tire Burn Plant — many have stopped Crap :crap: like a Tire Plant …NO to that, NO to Liquid COAL and NO to Nuclear Power :pirate: :yippee: …. Use the Brilliance in this country to help with “how”! .
She said, “NO. NO. NO.” 😉 A!I!V!
Joe Bruno is in a very precarious position. It would be very nice to lose him and with him would probably go a lot of “safe” Rethug districts which might eventually give us more Dems in congress. Of course one can only hope that the new Dems will actually be better than the old Rethugs.
Hope springs eternal.
Sammy chat? Nope, I was out at the park, and then out shoveling the driveway (had to knock the snow of the satellite dishes, too). Just settling in again now (have to clean the pellet stove at some point though).
Yep, Obama says “nuclear power ok if we safeguard against waste & terrorism” (pretty big ‘if’), and that we should “explore nuclear power as part of alternative energy mix.”. Clinton is “agnostic about nuclear power until waste & cost issue solved.” Both oppose Yucca Mountain. Don’t see huge differences there, really.
I’m getting this from On The Issues, BTW.

Subject: Take Action for American Wolf Recovery! Please Repost…
Body: In the wake of the federal delisting of wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies — a plan that threatens more than a thousand wolves in the region — Defenders and our allies at the Natural Resources Defense Council have filed a formal petition with the Fish and Wildlife Service calling for a national wolf recovery plan.
Help Defenders of Wildlife send 75,000 messages in support of a forward-looking effort to protect the gray wolf’s important place in America. Send your message to Dale Hall, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, online at:
http://action.defenders.org/ourwolves
I cannot repost at Sederville … Sniff .. and those last 2 female callers pro Hillary — Yippee :pirate: :yippee: …A!I!V! 😉
I’d have taken a machete to the fucker.
pjsauter, Awwwwwww I use to shovel snow sometimes and ALWAYS had to clear Solar Panels of snow.
I enjoy shoveling, actually. The park today was magical. We got a bunch of wet, heavy snow yesterday, and the temperature dropped fairly rapidly, after which, we got more nice fluffy snow. The result was that the wet snow froze and all the fluffy snow stuck to it, so the trees – and everything else – were covered with this thick blanket of snow. I was walking through the woods with Siggy today, and white fluffy snow was falling, and it was like walking through a white arbor. I can’t adequately describe it, but it was beautiful. That and watching Siggy hop around, sticking his face in the snow, and just being a wiggly bundle of joy…. Well, that’s about as good as life gets. Just when you think everything sucks, you find out it doesn’t.
Awwww Siggy :pup: reminds me of Danu Epona :pup: 😉
Kp
There really isn’t a Sammy chat unless he started one today. Sam get IMs only he can see and responds to them on the Cam but only he can see those of others. He rarely types a response to anyone. He does not blog on the SamSederShow site during the show. He also cut his IM off immediately at the end of the shows but tries to go thru hat he already has.
I enjoy shoveling too, PJ.
All: Hoffmania is doing live chat next Tuesday on Hillary Firewall night. Might as well let him do the heavy lifting. Bookmark it: http://www.hoffmania.com. I’ll post the link right to the chatroom when he puts it up.
Also…PJ, you probably know….what would they need to do to recover the e-mails the White House says were “deleted”? :tinfoil:
If we can assume that the mail server purged the e-mails stored on the system, and that there were no tape backups made (pretty fucking unlikely), they could use a recovery program to recover anything stored on the hard drives(s) of the mail server(s). In order to really delete everything, you’d have to deliberately overwrite everything in multiple passes with random patterns of 1’s and 0’s.
Basically, impound the drives and use forensic software to recover lost files. That doesn’t include any mail that came from or went to the RNC mail servers from outside systems, which would also no doubt be backed up to tape somewhere.
Emails are forever. Anybody who says otherwise is a goddamn liar.
:rofl2:
Thankfully, my teen won’t be applying!
and that poor little dog in the snake! And those idiot owners for ignoring the signs that the snake was on the hunt.
Save America’s Wolves
A Recovery Plan for America’s Wolves
Wolf crossing a river (Photo: Corel)
With state officials planning to kill 70% of the wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies and southwest wolf recovery efforts continuing to falter, it’s time for a national wolf recovery plan.
Take Action
Urge U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dale Hall to adopt a national wolf recovery plan.
Campaign Update
* As many 20,000 called or emailed federal to voice their outrage.
* Dozens of media stories highlighted Defenders’ reasons for opposing delisting.
* More than 4,600 donated to help support our court fight to stop delisting and other work to save wildlife.

“What is clear is that if the gray wolf is to be truly recovered and delisted in the lower-48 States, a nationwide recovery plan is the first and best step towards that goal.â€
— Petition to the USFWS for a National Wolf Recovery Plan, 2/20/08
Dear REV.D.Morrigan,
With the support of caring people like you, today we launched our latest legal efforts to save wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies, notifying the Secretary of the Interior that we intend to sue to reverse last week’s elimination of vital federal protections for these amazing animals.
But with the future of wolf recovery and the lives of hundreds of wolves at stake, Defenders of Wildlife is leaving no stone unturned to ensure a lasting future for wolves in America.
You can help. Please send a message to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service right now and urge federal officials to adopt a national wolf recovery strategy.
By removing wolves in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana from the list of federally protected endangered species last week, the Bush/Cheney Administration has officially green-lighted state plans to kill as many as 70% of the wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.
The announcement opened the door to the killing of more than a 1,000 wolves by aerial gunning, trapping, poisoning and other lethal methods. It could also close the door on wolf restoration in Oregon, Washington, Colorado and other parts of the gray wolf’s historic range.
Help ensure a lasting future for America’s wolves. Send your message to the Fish and Wildlife Service now.
Last week, Defenders and our allies at the Natural Resources Defense Council filed a formal petition with the Fish and Wildlife Service calling for a national wolf recovery plan.
Such a plan would protect not only wolves in the Northern Rockies, but also provide a needed boost for wolf recovery and management efforts in the Southwest, Northeast and Pacific Northwest.
Will you lend your voice to the fight? Help us send 75,000 messages in support of this forward-looking effort to protect the gray wolf’s important place in America by next Wednesday.
Please take action now by sending your message in support of a national wolf recovery plan.
Thirty five years ago, wolves in the U.S. were listed as protected under the Endangered Species Act. Every day since, Defenders of Wildlife has fought to save America’s wolves.
I hope you’ll help by taking action today.
Sincerely,
Rodger Schlickeisen, President

Someone could use a campaign song
A lot of computer systems used by DOD use a secure delete algorithm that writes a pattern or two or three in the areas on the disk occupied by the deleted files. Some of these terabyte arrays that are on the market today use that technique automatically.. I don’t think you can recover data obliterated in that manner. :reaper: :reaper:
The ramp up time for some of these new energy technologies is so long that one better have a known alternative at the ready .. The SBR only has about two weeks to a month of oil reserves on hand in the event that someone decides its time we froze in the dark. The Russians and the Chinese would love to watch the SBR come screaching to a halt.. :reaper: :reaper: Amerikans being IDIOT MORONS would most likely choose a response that would put them and all their stuff orbiting the earth at 50,000 feet, :tap: :tap:
