12" of Global Warming on the ground here. I slipped and fell on my ass. Global warming is a serious problem.

Sorry to hear that wisgod, I'll let my car idle a few more minutes today just for you.

slow day on the nooner.

Maybe he's at the North Pole beating up elves or something.

Without global warming, it wouldn't have been 12 degrees when I left for work this morning. Can global warming give you frostbite?

Gun Sales Boom After Election. I'm one who has helped this boom by adding a Kimber .45 plus parts and ammo to my collection. Nice of Obama to help out the gun industry.

"I'm one who has helped this boom by adding a Kimber .45 plus parts and ammo to my collection."

Ahhh, so your the reason prices went up and it take 2-3 weeks to get any ammo.

I am a big fan of the 1911, which kimber did you pick up?

Dear Santa,

Please get me one of these.

Love, Biggie

Herms father escaped Nazi Germany when he saw the writing on the wall for the Jewish people.

Chairpussy called him a coward.

I like that pistol, Biggie...

And that's it for Chair?

Weird, I see nothing about that in the deleted comments or dumps area.

Plus his status is still "user."

Not bad for a terrorist sympathiser and communist:

The American public, long weary of the perceived mismanagement and incompetence of Bush (Katrina, war in Iraq, the economy), is reacting well to Obama's approach to the transition thus far.

A Gallup poll conducted on Monday showed that nearly eight in ten (78 percent) approved of the way Obama is handling the transition with a scant 13 percent disapproving.

Individual Cabinet picks received similar high marks. Seven in ten voters approved of the president-elect naming Clinton as his secretary of State while 80 percent approved of Obama asking Defense Secretary Robert Gates to stay in his current position.

Obama has also quickly emerged as a more credible messenger than Bush on the economy. Nearly two-thirds of those polled said they trust Obama more than Bush to handle the economy, while just 20 percent said they trusted the current president more than the soon-to-be president on the issue.

No fucking wonder. He's reneged on all his campaign promises.

I didn't say he was banned, just relaying what happened.

But I think it was a pretty fucking shitty thing to say. Nor do I think Chairpussy would say it to herms face. Hence my use of his new moniker.

Hey Spud - I just read that Harper got the Governor General to let him shut down Parliament so he could avoid the No Confidence vote. You guys are having a little drama in the Great White North, huh?

Freezing our tushes off here also! I thought it would soon be getting to the point where I could grow tomatoes year round.

Yeah. The first politician ever to do that. By the way, what has he reneged on exactly? Particularly since he hasn't been sworn in yet.

Sure. He's probably said worse too, I just can't recall what. But that's his thing here and everybody knows it. I'm surprised Herm would let anything Chair said about him or his family get to him.

~SanAnRogue

Yup, silly thing about that is that Harper has been making all kinds of dire pronouncements about the "dangers" of letting the NDP and Liberals join with the Bloc Quebecois to form a coalition government, somehow completely fergitting that it was that exact same tactic that he used with his Conservatives, the NDP, and the Bloc to bring down Paul Martin's Liberals not too long ago.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Stephen Harper.

Best part of this current dog's breakfast of a Parliamentary season is the fact that Canadians got to learn a new word as to what give Harper the right to shut down Parliament without dissolving it.

Well, it's total bullshit if Chair has actually been banned.

Spud attacked Goatman using his dead-wife as the weapon. His posts got dumped and he took his 14-day vacation, but he wasn't banned.

People reveal personal bits and pieces about themselves all of the time here and it often gets turned around as an insult.

If the comment was offensive - flag it and RCade will probably dump it.

If Rcade banned him for it, I'd have to say it's a product of bias given some of the other personal insults that fly around here and only result in deletion or dumps.

It's called going "Prorogue"

Spud thought that you, especially, find that interesting fer some reason.

Thanks for the new vocabulary word of the day - and for the pro-roguery!

Spud doesn't just like learning new words
//Spud is like inventing the puppies too!

It is a living language as far as I can tell, so have at it.

NORTHGUY3 - Actually no, but in case of emergency they would come in handy in taking the cookies away from the 'I won't have a gun in my home' crowd.

Actually, quality handguns become a good investment if the sales are banned - at that point their value skyrockets.

Thats what happens on the black market.

All right girls, stop wetting your panties, nobody is taking away or banning gun sales.

Here in WA I don't even have to wait to buy a handgun since I have a concealed weapons permit.

He's reneged on all his campaign promises.

Yeah. The first politician ever to do that.

So, Obama is just like all the others - what happened to the "change" mantra?

"nobody is taking away or banning gun sales."

Word has it they will start on restricting ammo sales thru taxation.

So, Obama is just like all the others - what happened to the "change" mantra?

Look, I'm not going to defend, nor pass judgment on anything Obama is doing thus far. The fact is, I realize he can't accomplish everything he set out to do in one fell swoop. And he certainly can't do a whole lot until he's sworn in.

Here's one thing I know for sure, I'd rather have my POTUS "renege" on a campaign promise when circumstances have changed, than to plow forward with decisions that might not make sense given new information. We had enough of that the last 8 years, so if that's "change", I'll take it.

By the way, what has he reneged on exactly? Particularly since he hasn't been sworn in yet.

#27 | Posted by ProudLiberal

So you are saying all these statements from The Predident Elect are bullshit? He's the one doing all the talking. Maybe he should be the one to remind us not to pay attention yet, not one of his followers.

So? learn to reload your own. Super cheap. I haven't bought ammo in years and I shoot about 300-500 rounds/month just in rifle (.308 and .300 win mag)ammo.

"All right girls, stop wetting your panties, nobody is taking away or banning gun sales.

Ive had mine as well for a few years now but a few buddies are trying to get theirs now and they were told there is a waiting list that extends through January. It just goes to show that not everyone is willing to purposely blind them selfs to the guy obama really is.

In reality, while obama has not promised a ban yet his record clearly shows his distaste for the second amendment and he has sponsored many ban proposals and other absurd limitations before.

So? learn to reload your own. Super cheap.

DH has done that for the last 12 years...has all the paraphernalia. He said not as much diff in price now as a few years ago.
Besides they will just raise taxes for the reloader's supplies as well as ammo.

If you lived in the "O.C." all you had to do was slip the sheriff a couple hundred bucks for his "campaign fund" and you could get your permit.

Have "the polluters" saved the planet from going "Snowball?" With the dearth of sunspots we may be going into a freeze cycle, another "Little Ice Age. Probably none of us will survive to see it, but the ultimate irony would be that we "go green," and then need to burn fossil fuels without any purpose other than to blanket the Earth with gases to retain heat.

He keeps it in the glass near the bed along with his teeth.

factoid of the day CEO of Gulf says gas headed to 1 dollar a gallon, and ML predicts 25 dollar a barrel oil by 2009.

So much for the speculators driving oil to 200 heh?

Worthless NPR said "Morning Edition, June 17, 2008 Congress wants to know whether energy traders bear some responsibility for the huge run-up in oil prices. The Senate Agriculture Committee holds a hearing Tuesday featuring testimony from the head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission."

Who's fault are falling prices, dr left? MANY here repeatedly blamed GW and big oil

"Time to apologize for Big Oil demagoguery"

"The obvious fact is that American oil companies couldn't budge prices more than an inch if they tried with all their might they're just too small a piece of the whole and that their profit margins were relatively small.....So given all of this, my political friends, here is what you should say in your letters of apology that you played the role of publicity-seeking, demagogic, irresponsible, scapegoating frauds, that you are sorry, very, very sorry, and that you won't do it again....people you deceived for the sake of your own advancement, thus rendering our democracy less informed, more divided and more likely to travel in wrong directions.

You would hope that the global slowdown was contrived by some deep thinkers representing our interests. It certainly curtailed the efforts of the Iranians, Venezuelans, and Russians, and the bellicosity of the Chinese. The Iranians and Venezuelans have regimes that may be unseated unless oil prices are maintained and provide the goodies to maintain popular support with payoffs to their populations.

Don't worry. I smell a gasoline transport tax. And you heard it here first.

In other words the promise of a windfall profits tax is going south fast ...so we will have to find some way in darn damn hell to get more taxes.

Kerrin, it's on the table in Wisconsin and I'm sure Jim Doyle will share it with B.O.

This has got to be the funniest bunch of crap I have ever read. Put down of the Obama Presidency and the man hasn't even been sworn in. Will we have an Obama's first month soon, that is before the ceremony?

MURPHY

This is a 2-part post in answer to your post-Thanksgiving day message to me.

CC--If you check in today--

We had a GREAT Thanksgiving yesterday!

We gave our Dad the copies of the website on him.
Then we showed him the website.

I am sorry to report the man does not know what a mouse is/does. We bought him a computer a couple of years ago and he returned it.

And I sent emails to the webmasters who know him. One flew with him on another ship.

They are having a reunion in May. They want him to be a panelist.

He is pretty stubborn and has a bad ankle.

He says he won't go--but I have like 5 months to turn the excuses into opportunities.

I really want to Thank You again. Thanks!

(CONTINUED FROM ABOVE)
and sorry about screwing up the bold key

2. Let's get your Dad as a "cc" on a few of the emails the guys in his unit email letters send to each other. You could contact the webmaster and ask him to put out word on the website you (as his daughter) would like your Dad to be able to receive cc copies of the emails the guys send back and forth to each other just so your Dad could "kind of catch up on everything." Tell them your Dad wouldn't be responding but you think it would be good for him prior to the reunion to kind of get to know all that's going on.

You could have the emails cc'd to you or someone else in your family who has a computer and then you could mail them directly to your Dad for him to read. That way I think he might be more interested in attending the reunion and would probably feel more comfortable about it too. These guys wouldn't be such total strangers anymore either since it's been so many years. Might take away some of the apprehension he may have about meeting everyone again after so many years apart.

Just a couple thoughts I had which might help you get your Dad to change his mind about not going.

(Too late -- and too long a post! -- to tell you now about why I even thought about the idea of his getting on the cc emailing list so will tell you that part in another post.)

Now you know why it took me so long to answer. Too forever to write it!

I was just outside the front door to check the screen 'cause I'm locking up the place and what ran right across the middle of the street but a big ol' coyote. You could see him real good too with the lamposts shining down on him.

Good night.

Down the slippery slope at an accelerated pace.

Dec. 5 (Bloomberg) -- California, the world's eighth largest economy, may pay vendors with IOUs for only the second time since the Great Depression, State Finance Director Mike Genest said.

In a letter to legislative leaders Dec. 2, Genest said the state "will begin delaying payments or paying in registered warrants in March" unless an $11.2 billion deficit is closed or reduced. California, which approved its budget less than three months ago, may run out of cash by March, state officials say.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger warned that he may issue the warrants, which are a promise to pay with interest, to suppliers and contractors as the seizure in credit markets may make it too costly to borrow

CalifChris, you can't get out of there a moment too soon.

But don't go to Milwaukee. They're planning to issue "neighborhood scrip" spendable in local stores, but most probably unacceptable to national chains. Just how the neighborhood storekeepers will pay their suppliers is not addressed. Maybe the neighborhoods will become self-sufficient. Milwaukee. Hmm. They can live on beer. But where will they get the "makins?"

The system seems to be coming down. And how it will shake out, nobody knows.

Get youself some seed, dig a well, get some weaponry, fortify your place, form a neighborhood association, and let your fiefdom get ready. Oops. Energy sources. Well import a mountain from West Virgina or someplace around there. We'll be a healthier nation. Culling will occur with the old and the infirm removed on an accelerated basis as they proceed to "glory." Don't worry about this world. "There'll be pie in the sky when you die bye and bye." Wasn't that an old "wobbly" song?

That was an old Wobbly song. It's in their songbook I got in Seattle in 1964 when they still had a headquarters here on Yesler (the old Skid Road) with a few old Finnish radicals sitting around in it.

Looks to me like the US financial system is very broken and we might be heading into an era where the IWW (Wobblies) stage a comeback.

There's gonna be a lot fewer people howling about the glories of unfettered capitilism--which has made about 20,000 people incredibly wealthy--when they're down at the Food Bank with their kids picking thru the 2-week old bananas and dented cans.

CC-Keith here, just a note to say that after my move, my mother was placed in a skilled nursing facility and I was stuck with emptying the house and getting rid of everything. From a wheelchair yet. Been working eBay like a fool getting things gone. Sorry to break up this thread, bye now.
