I was waiting for some inspiration this morning (or somebody else to jump in there for me). Unfortunately, neither one happened. Oh well.
By the way, if you want to sign up to download Michael Moore’s latest movie, Slacker Uprising, next Tuesday, you can do so here.
First two days in a row? This is scary. 😮
Fortunately, I have tomorrow off, so it won’t be three days in a row.
Off to work, today. 😥
This is sad, especially since I hadn’t even heard he died.

Move over, Al Gore. You may lay claim to the Internet, but John McCain helped create the BlackBerry.
At least that’s the contention of a top McCain policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin. Waving his BlackBerry personal digital assistant and citing McCain’s work as a senator, he told reporters Tuesday, “You’re looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create.”

So, my friend in Costa Rica is looking for a way to connect to the internets from his hinterland home. I told him he needed a wireless card and to hope that someone around there has wireless but he seems to think there’s another sort of device that connects directly to the satellite. Any of you know of any such product? :cat:
And RIM (BlackBerry maker) isn’t even a US company – it’s Canadian.
Yes, KP, there is satellite Internet access. HughesNet is one (not sure how many there are out there). It’s expensive, and wouldn’t be good for stuff like skype (too much latency), but the speeds are pretty good, and if it’s all you can get, it’s an option.
Costa Rica, however, may be a different story.
Thanks PJ. I guess my friend is getting tired of going into town.
Yeah, I know how he feels. Every time I go into town to use the Internet, I wind up blowing all my money on whiskey and hookers.
Christ, my uncle looked more lifelike at his wake last week. Oh, and tell me again why Caribou Barbie is so hot?

New Gravatar…Why? I don’t know. I just sort of feel like it’s necessary for my upcoming math class. Here’s a vocabulary word that’s fitting: macabre.

Hookers? In Syracuse? My how things change…
Speaking of documentaries that piss off tightass rightwingnuts have you guys gotten wind of this?
Reminds me of Richard Belzer (Travis’ gravatar, that is).
Dear WaPost, NYTimes, Boston Global, LA Times and others,
Which is the bigger scandal – main stream media’s failure to ask the question “How did our economy get so bad?” or the Democrats’ failure to point out 28 years of failed Republican fiscal policy that started with Ronald “Greed is good” Reagan’s deregulation that made all these financial disasters possible.

Very good rally with Biden today. He actually used the L word (snip) but LIAR and LIES to much appr4ciation from the crowd. Everyone around said it was about time. News trucks from all over, even Harrisburg and Lancaster and of course a faceless blonde bimbo from Fox who appeared to have spent way too much time on a tanning bed. I was right up front where the “news” crews were interviewing “The Folks” ™ but they avoided me. It was either my rather gruesome visage or my impeach bush t-shirt – I’m going with the latter, or is it former? Any way here’s a photo:
And if that doesn’t work which it probably won’t, here’s the link.

I propose that we start calling Palin Caribou Barbie and not Moose Barbie, just for fun. I like the sound of it better I guess.
There’s a movie called Princess Caraboo, but I don’t remember what it’s about.
Here we go….Plot Summary
Bristol, England, early 19th century. A beautiful young stranger who speaks a weird language is tried for the crime of begging. But when a man claims that he can translate her dialect, it is understood that the woman is a princess from a far away land. She is then welcomed by a family of haughty aristocrats that only wants to heighten their prestige. However, the local reporter is not at all convinced she is what she claims to be and investigates. Is Caraboo really a princess?
