I’m afraid this is gonna be one of those ‘not much to say today’ days. Or, too tired and lazy to think and type (which will make work a little difficult).

I saw the eclipse last night! Or at least as much of it as was visible through the clouds.
Here’s some moon for the rest of you. :spank:
Supreme Court Rules Employees Can Sue Over 401(k) Misconduct
Why can 401(K) participants sue over bad management? Bbut this same collection of bench-sitters earlier ruled stockholders have no rights.
Color me Epsilon.
Well, my friends, I must tell you that I did not have sexual relations with that woman, my friends. I know this sounds familiar, my friends, but at least the woman I’m accused of hooking up with is a lobbyist and not an intern, my friends.
And there was no pizza involved, my friends. I was eating a bowl of oatmeal while she was… wait a minute, my friends. We’ve already established that nothing like that was going on, my friends. So I’m not sure what I was talking about. The mind tends to wander at my age, my friends.
But the bottom line is that it doesn’t matter, my friends. We’re going to be in Iraq for a million billion years whether or not I was slipping this woman the wrinkled weenie eight years ago, my friends. Because if you vote for Senator Obama, terrorists will kill you. So there.
My friends.
Can someone change my diaper?
Bob Dole here. Bob Dole would have downed a fisful of Viagra and nailed her sweet ass into next week. Bob Dole sees something he likes and goes for it. No eight-year press delay for Bob Dole. Bob Dole would have written the story himself while the bone was in motion. That’s how Bob Dole rolls.
Bob Dole is going to shut up now, before Bob Dole’s friend John blows his stack.
Damn clouds managed to roll in right at totality last night, so all I saw was nothing. Oh well, if I’m still around in 2010, maybe I’ll have better luck.
Bad news. SCOTUS has come out of hibernation to do even more damage to our once-proud society.
Supreme Court Strikes Down State’s Law to Diminish Internet Tobacco Sales to Teens
Now it seems states are not allowed to enforce their laws concerning underaged purchases of a controlled substance – tobacco.
Supreme Court Shields Medical-Device Makers
And don’t ever forget that this court and the Republican Party will defend corporations’ rights to the death. Who’s death we aren’t sure yet, but be assured you will never be allowed to know. National security won’t allow it.
On the bright side, DirecTV 11 has left the Payload Processing Facility and has been transferred to the Sea Launch Commander.
Okay, 2010 it is. When and where? Knowing my luck it will be only Antarctica in July.
Got my SCT-8, my Poleroid, half a pack of Camels and six-pack of Old Frothingslosh. Now bring me that eclipse!
Actually, there probably won’t be an Antarctica in July of 2010. Better get a boat.
But the total lunar eclipse in 2010 (Dec 21st) should be visible in the Americas (and East Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Pacific).
In case you want to make your hotel reservations:

There will be a total solar eclipse in the Southern hemisphere on my anniversary in 2010, too. Should be a nice view from Easter Island. Maybe we can make a road trip.
Here’s a shocker.
McCain presser in 15 minutes.
I’ll be interested in what he says. Unlike the days of Nixon, flat out lying and denial is acceptable (if they can’t really catch you) and this is not under oath.
It’s not a dead girl or a young boy (although that apparently is becoming more acceptable) or man on dog.
The 30 year age difference :hubba: will probably stimulate his base 😉 and the EWWW factor will make the story go away. His opponent should just put it in a sack with temper and Keating and the rest and wait for October.
Maybe when we don’t have Bush to kick around anymore we can bring back Bob Dole. He was fun to kick around! 😆
We saw the eclipse and got VERY cold doing it. If I’m here in 2010 I’d like an eclipse in July at about 9:30 so I don’t have to miss my bedtime.
Good morning and good :joe:
It was raining here, so no eclipse for me. 😐
The Times says that he did favors for this lobbyist’s clients. McCain says she got no special treatment, there were hundreds of lobbyists and he always listens. Is that a denial?
Everyone else seems to be focusing on the sex, of course.
If ferret cheeks can attract a much younger woman, he must have offered something other than his wrinkly self.
All I know is if I were Harrison Ford and I saw McCain hanging around Calista, I’d be digging out my bullwhip.
The best thing that has come from this loooong primary season is that America’s mayor ain’t America’s mayor any more. (Maybe he’s America’s philanderer who provides over zealous police protection to his latest fling.)
Ghouliani seems to have done as much harm to himself as he might have done to this country, had repeating 9/11 been enough to get him elected. I wonder if he and Judi Judith are still having fun.
I must say, it appears that Republican women have pretty lousy taste in men.
Then again, my wife didn’t exactly go for top shelf, either.
The critical thing about USA-193, according to the Pentagon, is that it was carrying an unusual amount of fuel, which could release toxic fumes on impact. According to Gen. James Cartwright of the Marines, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it was the deadly gas threat that made President Bush decide to go for satellite assassination.
“It affects your tissues and your lungs. You know — it has a burning sensation,†General Cartwright said. “If you stay very close to it and inhale a lot of it, it could in fact be deadly.â€
Let’s think about this for a minute. If you were, say, sitting on the porch reading the newspaper when a satellite plummeted into the backyard, emitting foul-smelling fumes, what are the chances you’d decide to stay very close to it and inhale a lot of it?

Gail Collins is a favorite of mine. She’s funny and usually right on the mark.
Oh PJ, stop that! :tap: You’re a good guy.
Let’s face it, I’m no Guidi Ruliani.
And thank goodness for that, PJ. I’m sure RG agrees.
Hmmm. Road trip to Easter Island. Probably a little far to take the Subaru…
Nonsense. Just need a few tanks of Helium (stock up now, though, we’re running out), and a shitload of balloons.
“I’ve never betrayed the public trust.” — John McCain
Bullshit! You’re a Republican! You seated all these unqualified idiots masquerading as judges! You voted for Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Gonzalez, Rice… You betray the public trust every friggin’ day, asshole!
Perfectly said, NC Blue
In the somewhat unlikely event that these things actually do any good, here is a petition to the House to stop telecom immunity.
But while Huckabee seemed focused on campaigning in Texas, a traditionally conservative bastion, pundits and his supporters were debating the implications of the reports (re: McCain’s affair).
“Has the Huckabee miracle occurred?” asked Max Brantley of the Arkansas Times blog. “Mike Huckabee is suddenly a very real contender for president of these United States.”

Good mornin’ , Druid. Though it’s afternoon here.
Air America Is Changing Ownership
Air America, one of the country’s more powerful radio networks and a major progressive megaphone, is switching ownership.
Charlie Kireker, a former political official and creator of Pendulum Media will succeed Stephen L. Green, the New York real estate CEO who helped lift the company out of bankruptcy, as chair of the board. The move will be finalized in mid March. Mark Green, Stephen’s brother and Democratic activist, will remain as Air America’s president.
So, let’s see, I guess that means it’s time to shitcan anybody else who’s halfway decent on AAR. Fortunately, there isn’t much left.
Watch yer back, Sam! :tinfoil:
Looks like Kericker is from Vermont, hopefully the Bob Newhart/Dick Loudon Vermont.
Or the Boynie Sanduhs Vermont.
pj, please change that to Ben and Jerry’s before fred sees it. Looks like Kirecker might be an Obama fan, fwiw. Green was pretty Hiillacious. I doubt that the Greens will be around long anyway. Probably just another bone to keep the remaining stragglers and stalkers in the fold.
Gee, I have made tentative plans to meet friends this afternoon at the same time as the big debate. What should I do?
Charlie Kireker
Progressive Investment banker .. thats an oxymoron if I ever heard one.. :rofl2: :rofl2:

Oh, sounds like Marky will hang out. His brother probably just wanted to get the hell out. Everybody will be jumping on the Obama bandwagon as soon as Clinton doesn’t gain anything in Texas and Ohio, I think. Unless there’s some huge change brought on by the big debate, but I don’t think so. Nothing she throws at him will stick. He’s the new Teflon man (for now, anyway). They’ll go at him in the general, ‘cuz the media wants a horse race, but I think they’ll have a tough time getting at him. Just the sight of his fresh, young, skinny head up there with the bloated old cranium of grumpy old John McCain should seal the deal, barring any sort of scandal.
As long as Obama doesn’t hire Donna Brazile or Bob Shrum to run things.
Hey! Look who made it back up to #2!

I read the dumbest thing online today. No, not Drudge. Apparently when CBS was getting ready for Amy’s appearance on the Grammys, one of their stooges noticed that the naked woman tat on Amy’s arm has BREASTS. A naked woman with breasts! Holy mammaries, Batman!
Needless to say, CBS is still quite a-feared of the FCC since the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction, so the stooge insisted that Amy cover the DRAWN-ON, NOT-REAL boobies. She used a Sharpie to give her tat a temporary black bra.
Bush can send thousands of troops overseas to die in a bullshit war, but heaven forbid someone should catch a glimpse of a DRAWING of a breast. Jeebus. The Brits are probably glad to be rid of us.
:boobs:
Take that, FCC.
Police concerned about order to stop screening
DALLAS — Security details at Barack Obama’s rally Wednesday stopped screening people for weapons at the front gates more than an hour before the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Reunion Arena.
Oh well, what could possibly go wrong in Dallas?
:rofl2:
Yes, I thought that myself. Insanity..But as PJ said, “What could go wrong, in the Big D?” … :fist: A!I!K! :rofl2: :nod: KP 😉
I do believe I am OMEGA … well my name does start with the prefix “Mor” derived from Morte=Death…OMEGA :reaper: :dancers: A!I!V!
