Mega Millions is up to $166 million today. I’m not feeling especially lucky today, but I reckon I ought to get a ticket or two. A couple bucks is worth the daydreaming I can do until I find out I didn’t win.

Maron v. Seder postponed this morning 🙁
Just thought I would drop in and see how Regime Change ’08 was going and I see all these avataresk icon pictograph thingies. Looking at the one that shows up for Vernon I had a flashback to the 60s – Sqwwwaaack for Super Chicken!
No offense, Vernon. You would probably make a very formidible fowl.
Mark me down for Beta on this date, May 13th.
By the way, Art, you can also try changing your e-mail address in your contact information here, and then using that one to register with Gravatar.
PJ, you will enjoy this article
Virtual telescope opens night sky
The Chronicle has something about it, too.
Stargaze On Worldwide Telescope
Gee, pj, if you could have said that earlier you could have saved me a couple of hours and a new nickname/registration.
So you think it’s the msn email that’s blocking it?
I think Druid said she’s got msn and she got in.
MSN has always just marked something as “unsafe” rather than deleting it (as far as I know).
Okay, I changed it.
It’s a nice cool morning, but it’s supposed to go up about 18 degrees.
The Rethugs have adopted a slogan: The Change You Deserve.
What kind of change does Karl Rove deserve? Probably a change of address to Gitmo? George Bush? From the heat of Crawford to the fire of hell. The rest of us, no doubt, are getting all the change we deserve in the form of those rebate checks and maybe a dime or two more if we hold out a very nice tin cup.
No snow yet but cold as :reaper:
okay, I got signed up, got my avatar but how do I get it to show up here?
Seder v. Maron in the morning
St.Paul v. Maron v. Kindler v. Mirman tonight
Sammy’s gone from live Seder on Sunday’s? Who knew?
❓ ❗ :doh: :billcat: 😯
Thanks, NCB. I predict the ability to now waste hundreds of work hours playing with WorldWide Telescope.
Oh, that’s just too easy.
Good morning, all. I’m listening to the podcasts of Maron’s AAR shows last week (thanks, PJ) and thinking about how I should be doing chores right now.
>>>>>> #7 Cool 8) :banana: :yippee: <<<<<<
NC Blue … Tres 8) re 4 … I am already “budgeting” special time to ALLOW myself to “play” … amongst the stars. :dancers:
Super (aka Way 8) ) … :pirate: :yippee: A!I!
… “we will ‘do it live’…”
Is there a Maron v Seder show today? I thought Maron was traveling.
:rant1:
Gee, today is Linen Awareness Day for us. Whoopie.
No Maron v Seder today according to the Sam site.
:reaper: This one’s for you, PJ. Alternate disposal method — eco-friendly. Wonder if you could just keep the remains in a glass jar instead of dumping down the drain —- or maybe for plant fertilizer??? :reaper:
:dancers:
Well, lunchtime is over. Back to the Miracle Center trenches :slap:
I knew there was something I forgot to do this morning! :smack:
Rumor has it Obama will be appearing at the Sun Dome at USF the day after the KY and OR primaries. I’m trying to turn the rumor into fact so I can go.

We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We’ve know each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching
But you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Repeat Chorus)
Give you up, give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give,
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give,
Never gonna give, give you up
(Last four lines repeat)
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
(Chorus times three)
Evening all, I am so tired and tonight I’ve got a guy coming over who wants me to no doubt perform a miracle on some POS computer he pulled from someone’s trash…..and then ask if he can pay me in a couple of weeks.
I really wish I could be more of a sonuvabitch.
Art…id that a photo of Bobby Short?
I’d gladly pay you Tuesday for a reboot today. :billcat:
:rofl2:
Moris Tepper was great. If anyone gets a chance to see him they definitely should. He’s a really friendly guy too.
Am I the only one who noticed that Sean Rick-rolled the blog?
:dancers:
andy- that’s Thelonious.
BTW- I’m sure I got a considerable amount of unspoken help from pj…, :bow:
now, if I just knew who Jack Dunphy was, the secrets of the universe would be open to me. :tinfoil:
Three nestlings born in recent weeks to red-tailed hawks in the south end of Riverside Park in Manhattan are believed to have died, bird experts said on Monday.
The body of only one young hawk — or eyas — has been recovered so far. The city’s avid bird-watchers have confirmed that the other two babies are not in their West Side nest and are feared dead as well.
snip
While the cause of death awaits a toxicology analysis, Dr. Day suspected that the parents may have fed the nestlings pigeons or rats that contained lethal levels of poison — a common cause of death for the delicate hawks.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/13/nyregion/13hawks.html?ref=todayspaper
The female of this pair is believed to be the daughter of Palemale. Lincoln took the dead baby to Albany,yesterday, where a necropsy was performed. The hawk was normal and died suddenly from massive hemorrhaging. Toxicology reports will confirm whether or not the cause was rat poison.
This would so make my 15 minute commutes more bearable.
:sheep:
From Dailykos:
Results for the Mississippi First District special election, filling the seat of Senator Roger Wicker.
93% of Precincts Reporting
Travis W. Childers (D): 53% (54029)
Greg Davis (R): 47% (47361)
Update: The AP has called the race for Travis Childers. Mississippi now has three Democratic Representatives…out of four.
Update #2: Congratulations to Rep.-elect Travis Childers, his staff and volunteers, the voters of Mississippi’s First District, the DCCC…and the good people at Swing State Project, Cotton Mouth Blog, The Thorn Papers, Will Bardwell, and anyone I’m forgetting 🙂
Update #3: The NRCC spent over $1.3 million in this race, and that’s not counting what shadow groups like Freedom’s Watch put in. It’s an R+10 district. They ran some ads which were nasty as hell. And their candidate, if not outstanding, was not especially controversial.
We beat them anyway, on their turf.
Update #4: Turnout was astronomical. Especially for a runoff. It’s likely that it will exceed 100,000 votes, which is insane; turnout was around 64,000 in the first election.
TeeVee in the car would poison your brain even more than RightWingRadio — yuck — perish the thought of Meredith Viera & Matt Lauer droning on while you are sitting in never ending construction/ or Godforbid NYC metro routine traffic — :omg: :omg: :omg: :omg: My brain is melting — I’m having flashbacks to L.I.E. never ending trips back to NYC from Lake Ronkonkoma (where my parents lived way back when and where Edith Bunker spent her childhood summers) … :omg: :omg: :omg: :omg: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:
Those were horrible never ending too many hours long life-depleting commutes — I cannot imagine that we were put on this planet to waste our life energy enslaving ourselves to corporate greed (not consciously) —
It has been a very weird and routinely tragic (I don’t know how else to put it — every crisis situation, especially of pediatric nature is tragic and needs to be dealt with and always is … but it is always so very sad) day at the Miracle Center (This is what PJs sister, a 30 year veteran of Hospital Land prefers to call it, so I am adopting that nomenclature for my current place of employment which is representative of Everyperson’s Emergency/Trauma Center … especially those who are poor & have no insurance … of choice in the U. S. of A.)
Over & out for now. Tomorrow is another day. My brain is feeling fried. :doh: :doh:
Oh, my…
HBO Film About 2000 Recount Draws Protests From Democrats
Wounds from the Florida recount, still healing for many Democrats, are being ripped open again for some prominent former advisers to Al Gore. They say that a coming HBO film dramatizing the ballot battle after the 2000 election unfairly blames them for the Democrats’ failure to secure the White House.
So, HBO is joining the club that ABC started with “The Path to 9/11”?
