PJ is obviously enjoying a late morning, though how his dogs are allowing this I do not know. Mine would never allow such a thing. They start early waking me up and if that doesn’t work, the cats join in. It is not possible to sleep with a dog pawing you and a cat using you as a runway. Better to get up and feed them than to try to pretend you are sleeping.
I’m sure McCain would like to sleep late today. That’s got to be better than waking up to a day of defending Sarah after the Troopergate report found she had abused her powers. She did this by allowing Todd to use her office to promote his personal vendetta against her brother in law. The Palins do seem to have problems keeping their personal and political lives separate.
What really struck me was McInane telling the crazies that Obama is a decent man of whom they need not be afraid. I guess today he can just say, “Don’t believe anything I say. I’m just trying to win n election.”
PJ, you’d better feed those dogs!
Have a good one, everyone.
Morning all. I’m trying not to get my hopes up with the Phils, they’ve been known to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. But still they seem to playing well not just getting lucky, in my non sports guy opinion.
I have to go back and mess with this dialup compuserve again today, I thinks it’s her phone line ’cause I had no problem connecting from my house but I don’t think she’s convinced.
OY!
I haven’t caught any of the maron/seder’s so far they always seem to be having tech issues, PJ maybe you should offer your services to them to finally get that stream working for once.
I get the impression they’re just plugging in to whatever AAR has for a network and Internet connection, and it’s not exactly optimized for multicasting, so there’s lots of latency and dropped packets. But maybe not; maybe they’re just pushing it up to this bliptv thing or whatever it is, and that doesn’t have the capacity they need. Or maybe AAR has an asynchronous connection and the upstream bandwidth isn’t great. Or everybody on the office network has bittorrent clients running constantly.
The unicast stuff (VOD) seems to work pretty well, but that can get buffered quite a bit since it doesn’t need to be real time, and you don’t have 500 plus people trying to simultaneously access a live stream. If AAR ever expects to make money producing and distributing media over the Internet, they’re going to need to get their act together.
On the plus side, they have a couple of cameras and it isn’t just static web cam shots, so that’s an improvement.
BTW, thanks for posting something, Sue. I added a title to it.
Somebody else go up first, but the dogs seem to hang around me until I get up. Must be because I’m the “fun” one.
So is everyone here old enough to know who my gravitar is?
I am, but only from re-runs, of course. 😉
You know, I’ve always wondered if Mike Nelson was related to Tony Nelson (not to mention Ozzie and Harriet and the boys).
So, for today, here are the options:
1) Watch SU get killed by West Virginia on the teevee.
2) Go watch SU win the ’59 National Championship, and see Ernie Davis win the Heisman on the big screen.
Hmmm. Tough call.
Keith Olbermann was good last night.
He really makes it obvious how fucking wacked this country is.
I think he got plastic surgery before MST3K.
I’m ashamed to say these mother fuckers are only about 60 miles north of me.
It makes me ashamed of my state and my country.
Fucking assholes.

labor versus management. i figger management needs some more experience.
Syracuse is ahead by 3. It’s PPV here so it must be a pretty good game.
Loved Seahunt also.
Re #10
The racism that has been under the surface is bubbling up. I hope this is purging it from this country once and for all.
Even back then.

That’s why I was a commercial diver.
The horrifying thing about these McInsane supporters is that the crazies seem to be the entire crowd. Annamarie Cox noted that on Rachel, last night. She said that crazies are always a part of political rallies but what struck her was that the entire McInsane crowd was made up of them.
If we are lucky, and Obama wins, the GOP will have to reconfigure itself if it is ever going to be a majority party again. Let’s hope.
Did you solve any underwater crimes?
No and I never got to cut anyone’s air hose and send ’em to the surface either. You know the one’s with the sinister single-hode regulators.

I am even more ashamed that the citizens of Lakeville, MN (“Obama’s an Arab”) are only 30 miles south of me.
I am getting sick and tired of XM Radio, this is what I sent to XM:
Scheduled post for 2020. Barbara Walters won’t be around for that one, PJ.
New York county has Obama ballot as ‘Osama’
Saw Religulous today. Very funny. If you like Bill Maher, you’ll enjoy this movie. If you find religion to be absurd, you’ll like it even more.

Hey Andy, don’t feel bad. I have the pleasure of living in the same county as the asshole who yelled “KILL HIM” (meaning Obama) at the Palin rally in Clearwater this past Monday.
Shit is everywhere, so it follows that shitheads are everywhere too.

I thought David Shuster hosted Countdown last night. I knew I should have taped the late feed! Damn Rays game. Hope they actually remember how to hit a baseball tonight.
I made this up just tonight. Love them squash blossoms! :love:
Breaded Squash Blossoms & Roasted Roma Tomato Sauce
Dozen or so Squash Blossoms
4-5 oz goat cheese
3 lbs Roma tomatos
Salt, Basil, Pepper to taste
1/2-3/4 C. Bread crumbs
1 tspn Thyme
2 tspn Basil
1 tspn salt
1 tspn pepper
2-4 Tbl olive oil
2 eggs, beaten
Parmesan cheese
As soon as you get the blossoms, extract the stamen with a needle nose plyer or some similar tool so as not to tear the delicate flower petals. They wilt quickly and it’s a pain in the butt to get them when the flower starts wilting. If you aren’t making them right away leave the stems on and put into water until you are ready.
Put about 10 to 12 Roma tomatos aside and cut the rest in half and arrange them on a cookie sheet or baking pan. Drizzle or brush with olive oil then sprinkle with salt, pepper and basil to taste. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or til a little bubbly. Remove from oven and cool.
Dice the remaining tomatos and cut the goat cheese into 1/2 inch chunks. Stuff blossoms with some tomato then squish a chunk of goat cheese on top and close the petals over the cheese. Heat oil in pan.
Mix bread crumbs, thyme, basil, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dip blossoms into beaten egg and dredge in bread crumbs and fry until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
Serve with Roma tomato sauce over the top with a little parmesan sprinkled over the top. The blossoms are just as good without the Roma tomato sauce so you can skip that step if you like.
The Iowa Independent reports that a minister who spoke at John McCain’s rally in Davenport, IA today injected a divisive statement into his invocation. Here’s what Pastor Arnold Conrad said:
I would also add, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god — whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and election day.

Why do people put human emotions and motives onto God? I am starting to lean towards atheism but if you believe in a higher power why the hell would it be as petty as we are. CRIPES! 🙄
