CAPTION CONTEST #2

Blogmocracy In Action

Guest Blogger: Macker

Hello fellow Netizens of the Blogmocracy! Well, a certain movie was released on DVD this week, and y’all who don’t want to wait for Skiffy’s bland version in January should get this! In the meantime, I decided to use this photo from that movie for this incarnation (HA!).

Here it is and have at it!

Obscene, abusive, or annoying remarks may be deleted or moved to spam for admin review, but the fact that particular comments remain on the site in no way constitutes an endorsement of their content by any other commenter or the admins of this Blogmocracy.

We're not easily offended and don't want people to think they have to walk on eggshells around here (like at another place that shall remain nameless) but of course, there is a limit to everything.

Play nice!

    Hootie hoo… I ain’t dead… I just changed service providers.

    Uh… Love the look of this place and I was moved earlier this past week by someone who asked you to post the vid for The Warrior Project.

    I viewed it here, it was like 5000 views… and it is now over 78K… please reconsider…

    we are strapped with a Commander in Chief who would rather have his photographers follow him to the coffins of service men and women than to the battlefield…

    http://www.thewarriorsong.com/Welcome.html

    The not so pc lyrics are available for those wussies who can’t stomach the stuff of soldiering… so caution but here’s the vid…

    Sean was gracious enough to reply… and this is for a good cause y’all.

    @ Lolly Gator:

    It doesn’t help when you’re not allowed to disagree with the resident dilettante. If you’re going to have idiots as experts, you can try to claim the moral high ground, but you’ve forfeited the intellectual high ground. If you want to try to claim both, you need to keep idiots from opining on things they don’t understand.

    But that would rule out most of what the proprietor has to say.

    @ typicalwhitey:

    You would have to go into your Gravatar account and manage it from there. Since it is tied to your email account you shouldn’t have problems getting in because they can email you a password recovery if you can’t remember it.

    We could have local avatars and I am fine with that, but we are looking to move the site to a more powerful server very soon so it would make more sense to set that up there when we’re settled in.

    @ justin case:

    Look at the quantcast numbers. Definitely petering out. And I’m pretty confident that there’s no way to save it now, because after all the ideological purges and realignment, the “affinity” numbers are all still from right blogs, many of which are on the enemy’s list.

    He’s peed in his bed, now he gets to sleep in it. At first that gives you a warm feeling, but when it starts to get cold and smells of ammonia, he may finally realize that it wasn’t all that bright of move.

    My oldest daughter has Cerebral Palsey, when she was born the Dr. told me….

    “She may be retarded, she may not, she may walk, she may not, she may talk, she may not…

    Then he basically left the room…left me in total shock!

    She is now the mother of 2 teenage children, has been a disabled model in her University years and although she walks with crutches, she is one of the hardest working people I know.

    Even Obama is going to have a hard time sitting in the back of the bus pulling on his dick when it comes to allowing the Mohammedans to bring us a Second Holocaust. He does appear to be positioning himself to try and emulate Clinton on the Rwanda atrocity.

    And he is worse than useless on Iran. Gah. All of that is why I think there will be a nuke war in the middle east before the end of Obama’s second term (if, God forbid, he wins a second term).

    But the Palestinians don’t want peaceful co-existance with the Jews in Israel. They , down to the very last man, woman, and child want the Jews to be destroyed.

    Well, it’s Glenn Beck (and others) on Hoffman’s side, and Nancy Pelosi (and others) on Scozzofava’s (she is endorsing the Democrat for a House seat).

    Isn’t it just as fair to hold up Pelosi as it is to hold up Beck?

    If that is the choice, I’m against Pelosi no matter who it means siding with. She’s a corrupt agent of leftist radicalism and should not be in a position of political responsibility (oh – and Glenn Beck is not in a position of political responsibility, so we can simply ignore him).

    Absolutely!!

    Also, they think they can get Obama to force Israel to give in to 100% of their demands if they refuse to negotiate until every one of their demands is guaranteed ahead of time.

    However, even if they got 100% of their demands, they would still refrain from agreeing that the conflict is over. If they did end up with a state that they don’t want, they would use it as a stepping stone to vote Israel into the “real” state of “Palestine” via the right of return.

    They won’t bother building their own state at all if they get 100% of their demands, G-d forbid, because the only state they intend to run is Israel itself (as an Arab Muslim with the name “Palestine”).

    Obama has unintentionally forced a situation where the “Palestinian” plans are even more obvious than they were already.

    The advantage of no edit button is that it forces you to think before hitting the post button. And that you can’t go back and change your earlier words if you’d like to bob and weave about something.

    Sorry, the Paul Anka thing goes right over my head. Who was weeping over a Paul Anka song, and who cares?

    And Pelosi would actually support Israel with military force? I can’t believe she would support Texas with military force.

    The Paul Anka reference is to one of Glenn Beck’s less macho moments.

    When has the U.S. ever ’supported Israel with military force’, besides arms sales?

    Why do you believe Pelosi less supportive of Israel than other American politicians?

    Well
    1) Nixon put the 82nd and 101st on alert in 1973
    2) The USA positioned US Patriot Missiles in Israel manned by US Servicemen in 1991
    3) The USA positioned Aegis Crusiers and Destroyers off the Israeli coast in Prior to Iraq 2

    That would be your own paranoid imagination.

    Yes- I did ask ice for links on malignant narcissism because she said she had some in response to my first request. She said she’d email them to me. She was such a great friend she never did

    Sharm, I was in the middle of preparing for an extended trip, and it wasn’t the first thing on my mind. By the time I got back, you weren’t answering emails from me.

    I think your statements here and your tone make clear to those reading that what’s going on here is motivated by a personal vendetta or personal dislike on your part. Consequently, I’ll suggest this: if you dislike me or my posts, just don’t read them.

    Leaders of Jordan and Egypt on Sunday warned that Israel’s unilateral actions in East Jerusalem and other Arab areas were “derailing” efforts aimed at resuming peace negotiations with the Palestinians, and would thereby have a “catastrophic” effect on the region.

    The remarks came in a joint communique issued at the end of a whirlwind visit to Cairo by Jordan’s King Abdullah II where he held talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, according to Jordan’s official Petra news agency.

    A film about the Prophet Mohammad backed by the producer of “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Matrix” is under discussion, a Qatar media firm said on Sunday, aiming to create an English-language blockbuster for the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims.

    Filming of the $150 million movie is set to start in 2011, with Barrie Osborne as its producer, Alnoor Holdings said.

    Alnoor said the film – in which the Prophet would not be depicted, in accordance with Islamic strictures – was in development and talks were being held with studios, talent agencies and distributors in the United States and Britain.

    Those, of course, are the words to the “Colonel Bogey March,” which is the tune that the British soldiers whistle (the words were too strong for early-1960s film) in the movie “The Bridge Over the River Kwai.”

    At that time, however, most of the adults in the audience would have been perfectly familiar with the words. Today, not so much.

    Perhaps I am a minority opinion here. I consider myself a moderate Republican, but I too considered Dede S. selection to run as the R candidate awful because she was in favor of card check and had accepted support in the past from the working people’s party (which is the Acorn outfit). If I lived in the district, I would vote for Hoffman, even though he is a social conservative, which I am not.

    As, of course, would be your right. I couldn’t vote for Hoffman because RS McCain is part of his entourage.

    I won’t vote for racists or for their buddies. On either/any side of the racial divide.

    1) Nixon put the 82nd and 101st on alert in 1973
    2) The USA positioned US Patriot Missiles in Israel manned by US Servicemen in 1991
    3) The USA positioned Aegis Crusiers and Destroyers off the Israeli coast in Prior to Iraq 2
    4) The USA NOW has advanced Radar Installations in the Negev manned by US Personel

    Just saying you ignorant liberal asshole

    To add a little unknown bit of info into that list.

    Back in the summer of 1967 in Vietnam while on a company sized operation we got the word to hustle back to the base most rikitiki, word came down that the battalion was going to be ailifted to the Middle East, Israel to be precise. By the time we got back to the base the airlift was called off.

    A few days later we learned that Israel was attacked by the Arab countries and we were going in hush, hush to support them.
    Of course it was over real quick due to the proper asskicking the IDF gave the Arabs and no need for our battalion to back them up.

    Very few on my friends remember that episode.

    @ savages_girl:

    I haven’t dropped the numbering. It is proving to be pretty difficult to work back in. I’ve never had to do it before, so I am trying to figure out a way to grab the value through the DOM and Javascript since that is how the content is being grabbed in the first place. Trying to hook in with what is there and since the comment number you see (ex: 344) doesn’t really exist in the database, I’m having to figure out a way to assign it somewhere in the DOM where I can grab it. The number you see on the page is created at run time and doesn’t really exist anywhere but when the loop runs to pull the comments out, because WP stores all the comments in a separate table with an ID at this point around 150,000.

    414 | November 1, 2009 3:46 pm

    @ buzzsawmonkey:

    Real flashbacks come from P.T.S.D. (where a person actually sees the traumatic event briefly). Some people don’t recall the flashbacks themselves — they just suddenly find themselves among people asking them why they are shaking or screaming in terror. It can be triggered by a noise or some other reminder of the traumatic event.

    Very rare, I suspect, and brutal. I know someone who had one of these without recalling it afterward. It was like a blackout for 10 or 20 seconds followed by wondering why people nearby were trying to hug the person all of a sudden. The flashback/blackout was triggered by the sound of a fender bender out on the street after the person had been traumatized by a multi-car pileup a few weeks earlier where there had been deaths involved.

    Oddly enough, this flashback/blackout seemed to relieve tension from the traumatic event itself. The person started doing better afterward.

    I think the person just needed to let out some long withheld screaming or something.

    This was for real. This person hadn’t been seeking attention or anything. Far from it. The person had become very withdrawn since the traumatic event and only started coming out of the person’s shell a bit after the flashback.

    White House officials announced Friday that they had counted exactly how many jobs were created or saved by recent stimulus spending: 640,329.

    So how many were saved and how many created? They don’t know.

    In a briefing with reporters, officials acknowledged they can’t tell the difference between jobs “saved,” and jobs “created” by the $787 billion stimulus package.

    They said they also can’t tell the difference between private sector jobs and government jobs.


    Save or Created? WH can’t tell.

    White House officials announced Friday that they had counted exactly how many jobs were created or saved by recent stimulus spending: 640,329.

    So how many were saved and how many created? They don’t know.

    In a briefing with reporters, officials acknowledged they can’t tell the difference between jobs “saved,” and jobs “created” by the $787 billion stimulus package.

    They said they also can’t tell the difference between private sector jobs and government jobs.

    Save or Created? WH can’t tell.

    In the beginning, Obama created or saved the jobs. And America was without cap or trade, and liberty was over the face of the land, but the spirit of hope and change hovered over Capitol Hill. And Obama said, “Let there be stimulus,” and there was stimulus. And Obama saw that it was pork, and called it good; and Obama divided the deserving from the undeserving. And Obama called the deserving Democrats, and the undeserving he called Republicans. And there was a Congressional recess, the first time.

    OMG this is too funny!!

    Assemb. Dede Scozzafava (R) may be crossing party lines to support atty Bill Owens (D), but her now ex-mgr Matt Burns isn’t going along with that decision. “Dede is entitled to her own opinion, as is everyone, but I obviously disagree with her decision,” Burns told us today, a day after leaving the campaign. “I am supporting Doug Hoffman, because denying Nancy Pelosi another foot soldier is vital to restoring fiscal responsibility and common sense in Washington.”

    Good question!

    How can the government pretend that it can manage, overhaul, streamline and reform the health care system in the United States when it can’t even deliver enough flu shots to prevent a pandemic?

    We have seen the H1N1 virus coming for over a year. It is no surprise that much of America needs vaccination. It was no secret that the flu season was approaching. But, now that it is upon us, we find ourselves pathetically short of shots.

    How Goldman Sachs secretly bet on the U.S. housing crash

    WASHINGTON — In 2006 and 2007, Goldman Sachs Group peddled more than $40 billion in securities backed by at least 200,000 risky home mortgages, but never told the buyers it was secretly betting that a sharp drop in U.S. housing prices would send the value of those securities plummeting.

    Goldman's sales and its clandestine wagers, completed at the brink of the housing market meltdown, enabled the nation's premier investment bank to pass most of its potential losses to others before a flood of mortgage defaults staggered the U.S. and global economies.

    Only later did investors discover that what Goldman had promoted as triple-A rated investments were closer to junk.

    Now, pension funds, insurance companies, labor unions and foreign financial institutions that bought those dicey mortgage securities are facing large losses, and a five-month McClatchy investigation has found that Goldman's failure to disclose that it made secret, exotic bets on an imminent housing crash may have violated securities laws.

    That in particular is kind of brilliant.

    It's been said that the difference between the way conservatives love their country and the way liberals love their country is this: conservatives love America like a young child loves Mommy; everything Mommy does must always be right, and anyone criticising Mommy is evil.
    Liberals meanwhile love their country like an adult: they love it passionately but can still see its flaws, and believe that making it better (and becoming better) is part of what love is.

    This is a pretty partisan way of putting it, and I don't think it captures reality, but the bit about conservatives does capture a bit of how the deranged wingnut type on the right thinks-- the kind of people who think antiwar protesters must hate their country. (It's not an accurate characterisation of all conservatives IMO, let me say, just the deranged wingnut type, before people freak out and think I'm arguing that)

    Yes. And they cross party lines. The idea that GS represents American principles is laughable and going even further that they are exemplars of a free market is even more so. If ever there was a corporation that is intertwined with the American "system" and evidentially "above" the law it is GS.

    Of course this is a matter of degree and there are other financial firms in their league. Bank of America is one with their double standards of being, through market or propaganda, "a typical free market American bank" while at the same time being an equal partner in the corporate welfare operation like GS.

    AIG got a free ride. This was all propped up using public money. What they got was a sustaining of their corporate welfare status on out dime which will run up well into the future while at the same time the retained their executive "golden parachutes", profits, perceived public status, etc. What the rest of the American public got was future public debt, 20% higher interest rates on the average, and the clamping down of credit.

    McClatchy is conducting a witch hunt on Goldman Sachs. They can repeat the scare word "secret" as many times as they like but the Swaption market traded off exchange and there were no reporting requirements.

    GS was smart enough to hedge off their risk as the market weakness became apparent. That's what they do, they predict future market moves and manage their risk.

    The pensions were responsible for their own risk profile, they could have used swaptions to mitigate their risk as well, instead, they were greedy and tried to collect all of the premium on their bonds.

    Now they are in essence alleging breach of fiduciary which is highly ironic as the the pension funds lost vast amounts of capital entrusted in them by individual investors failing to use hedging on the mutual fund and stock market investments.

    The bonds GS sold were rated by the ratings agency, not GS. They were the real con artists but as they are shielded from lawsuits the lawyers are going after GS and making them scape goats.

    This category recognizes excellence in short-form political, social, economic or humorous commentary. It honors the eloquence, force of argument and succinctness with which the writer presents his or her views

    Layering telling anecdotes beneath a veneer of gonzo brio, Matt Taibbi constructs some of the most insightful political profiles of the day. Brash, unmerciful, and extremely prescient, Taibbi’s prose has matured and deepened without growing safe or stodgy.

    Goldman Sach was about to fail. This is counter to the argument that "they were smart enough." The only thing that kept them afloat was public funding. The free market, a real free market, would have led to their bankruptcy which is what they deserved along with AIG even if it meant the loss of pension funds which turned out to have great losses in the end. They're rated by their own hacks as it is.

    As far as getting out of the housing bonds I agree with you, they, unlike a lot of others, saw the looming bursting of the bubble and tried to minimize their exposure. Nothing wrong with that, thats what they get paid for, to forecast the markets and "bet" on them.

    I do think that they are being a bit 'tone deaf' with the obscenely high bonuses and headhunting of talent away from other firms right now though. A good rule right now in business P.R. should be "if you've got it, don't flaunt it," they are creating a problem for themselves by violating that. There are still too many unemployed, people who lost too much of their savings, and too many people struggling to make house payments for that not to have consequences.

    When people read or hear about "fat cats on wallstreet" paying themselves 6-9 figure bonuses on top of 6-9 figure salaries they feel ripped off. This is the kind of stuff that brings about witch hunts, it is normal human nature to react that way. If I had a dollar for every time I have heard someone snort derisively about people being paid millions for "shuffling paper" I'd be a lot better off myself.

    Seriously, they are bringing this on themselves whether or not it is within their right to do it is kind of moot.

    Yup. Let's face it, the sacred 'invisible hand' of the markets bitchslapped us, picked our pockets, and is even now still giving us the finger (as I put it here recently). It's enough to make me actually turn socialist or commie, as opposed to just playing one at times to freak people out. :)
    The comparison with Enron is very apt. Here' a nice Taibbi rant from the column I linked:

    It was apparent as early as last February that Cassano had basically destroyed not only the unit but perhaps AIG itself. The company announced over $11 billion in losses around that time.

    If I'm Jake DeSantis, and I'm really innocent, I'm looking for a job that very instant. And I'm taking the first good job anyone offers me. Because by then I'd have realized that I was working for the latest version of Enron. That the man I've been working for the last six or seven years has turned out to be one of the most irresponsible Wall Street villains of all time, a man who single-handedly destroyed the 18th-largest company in the world. If I'm Jake DeSantis, I'm quitting out of moral disgust, because I don't want to be associated with this kind of behavior.

    The only reason I'd stay is if I didn't have a choice. Which I feel sure is what happened here. If Jake DeSantis didn't take advantage of an opportunity to get a better job elsewhere with a company that didn't hide billions in losses and make $500 billion bets with money they didn't have, that's his fucking problem.

    The notion that I the taxpayer have to pay this asshole a million-dollar bonus because he turned down a better job at a less-guilty company is repugnant to begin with; the notion that he stayed at AIGFP because he expected me to pay him this bonus makes me hate him even more.

    LOL, the National Magazine Awards, the media is not exactly a font of wisdom on financial matters.

    In fact, when all the magazines agree it's a bull market that is considered a contrary indicator.

    What can I tell you. You sniffed that Taibbi's journalism was on a level with the National Enquirer; I provided you links and quotes proving he's earned the highest honour possible from the industry, and so now you want to just impugn the whole magazine industry.

    When you decide where you want to leave the goalposts, let me know so I can score another touchdown again.

    Goldman Sachs is another sacred cow amongst the pseudo capitalists.

    The world "capitalist" gets tossed around the right-o-sphere as some magic word... a mantra... against which all evil is supposedly waging war.

    However, I think of GS (and similar international power brokers) not as capitalists but more as mercantilists, much like China has become. Whereas traditional mercantilism might be thought of as economic nationalism, in the case of GS what appears to have emerged is a new class of international citizens, where nationalism has been replaced by a class-ism.

    Probably makes me sound like a marxist... but so what...

    Here is where the traditional nationalists (e.g. Buchanan) will find the fuel for their next adventure - the very real absconding of wealth by a limited few at the cost of the many. This is the fuel for future ugliness.

    Goldman Sachs is another sacred cow amongst the pseudo capitalists. When in doubt blame the regulating agency. Not unlike ENRON. Of course Goldman Sachs is so entrenched in politics that they're almost untouchables. Sometimes I wonder if we're about to break out in a "patriotic song" about banks and insurance companies over here.

    Ha, ha, pseudo capitalists, I like that. So the Gonzo journalists are now the experts on the economy?

    Well worded my weasel, touche!

    But in National Enquirer I’m not saying that level compared to other magazines in general, but in comparing Rolling Stone content to a real financial journal the gap is, yes that large.

    And I’m not talking about the whole magazine industry, rather the popular press such as Time, and Newsweek, and NYT, and LAT, who definitely report the news with a political slant, as well as general laziness and in the case of the financial markets, clueless-ness.

    And Rolling Stones? Their view of the economy and politics is hardly mainstream. They represent the freak agenda.

    The difference between G.S. and a lot of the other firms was that they only had a short term liquidity problem, just as every single other investment firm did when the bottom dropped out of the stock market. They were able to recover very quickly and pay back the government because they did not have a large portfolio of non-performing assets while most of the other firms did.

    While I think they do have too cozy a relationship with many in government I really don’t see where they did anything evil or underhanded during the financials meltdown. They played the market and they won (compared to most others), isn’t that what they are supposed to do?

    iceweasel,

    sorry your way off on this. I know Taibbi didn’t write those “financial columns” for RS, what I’m saying is that he is basically a Rolling Stone gonzo type journalist, I know his style. He ain’t writing for WSJ or Bloomberg either. So no goal there. I read through what you linked before replying, and based my opinion on what he wrote. I also gave you a key example with his use of “secret” which was a demonisation on his part.

    As far as “repeating talking point you’ve heard somewhere” please, don’t be patronising you know me better than that I hope, this is a subject I know very well. Most of these media hacks didn’t know a swap option from a flea market before the “credit crunch”. Now they have boned up on the subject and are looking for scalps, memes, political points and to sell their rags.

    No, i wouldn’t patronise you at all– and i don’t even disagree with you about the other media hacks. We just disagree about the worth of Taibbi’s stuff, and from the above I did wonder if you’d read him or really knew him, or were just lumping him in with the (actual) hacks.
    Taibbi does do that gonzo thing, hence my initial comment that his style isn’t for everyone. those who are turned off by it might not finish reading, either. FWIW, I find it a tad irritating too at times.

    oh,oh, it seems the like the loonier leftists are trying to sneak faith healing payments into health care reform. The Center for Inquiry is campaigning to get a “non-discrimination” provision taken out of the health care reform bills working their way through Congress. Why? Because they claim:

    If the health care bills in Congress pass as they are currently written, a nondiscrimination clause will force all insurance plans that participate in the insurance exchange to cover treatments such as therapeutic touch, Christian Science prayer healing, or even Scientology E-meter readings, none of which have any proven medical benefits. This clause would also require both Medicare and any public option that to provide this coverage, providing for taxpayer and government funding of potentially religious treatments. If this happens, it would represent an egregious violation of the principle of separation of church and state.

    So what does the provision actually say?

    Sec. 125 of HR 3200 says:

    Neither the Commissioner nor any health insurance issuer offering health insurance coverage through the Exchange shall discriminate in approving or covering a health care service on the basis of its religious or spiritual content if expenditures for such a health care service are allowable as a deduction under 213(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as in effect on January 1, 2009.

    When you look up an explanation of Sec. 213(d) of the IRS code…

    [Link: http://www.cahi.org...

    ...you find it covers Medical Savings Accounts and what kinds of medical expenses can be deducted if paid for out of such an account. It explicitly includes Christian Science Practitioners and "healing services." However scientology is currently non-deductible.

    So if this provision stays in we will be paying for at least the Christian Scientist 'Practitioners' to pray over people and very possibly (inevitably I think if they allow any) other forms of 'faith healing' as well. Check out the Center for Inquiry site for more info or to add your voice to the email campaign.

    oh,oh, it seems the like the loonier leftists are trying to sneak faith healing payments into health care reform. The Center for Inquiry is campaigning to get a “non-discrimination” provision taken out of the health care reform bills working their way through Congress. Why? Because they claim:

    When you look up an explanation of Sec. 213(d) of the IRS code…

    [Link: http://www.cahi.org...

    ...you find it covers Medical Savings Accounts and what kinds of medical expenses can be deducted if paid for out of such an account. It explicitly includes Christian Science Practitioners and "healing services." However scientology is currently non-deductible.

    So if this provision stays in we will be paying for at least the Christian Scientist 'Practitioners' to pray over people and very possibly (inevitably I think if they allow any) other forms of 'faith healing' as well. Check out the Center for Inquiry site for more info or to add your voice to the email campaign.

    [Link: ga1.org...]

    Not at all surprising. This is what happens when you make medical care a political decision rather than a medical decision. The same thing is common throughout Europe, with countless “alternative” treatments merrily provided at taxpayer expense.

    And politicians are only too happy to go along with such demands. On the one hand, it allows them to curry favor with special interest groups. And on the other, it reduces the strain on an unworkable system by providing worthless “care” and getting people off the system by dying.

    The US casualties in the last four months are in part the result of more aggressive campaign to root out Taliban; we saw a similar spike in casualties during the surge.

    The problem is the perception of dithering by the Administration is going to lead to problems on the battlefield as the Taliban watch the news as well. They see that they may be about to outlast the US efforts and if enough casualties are imposed on US forces, Obama may go the route of limiting/curtailing any troop increase or opt to slowly reduce troop numbers in Afghanistan despite an ongoing presence of Taliban/al Qaeda in Afghanistan and along the Afghan/Pak border.

    At the same time, the Pakistanis are continuing their military efforts in the frontier provinces and taking casualties, even as they’re dishing it out to the Taliban.

    The base problem with the Obama Administration is that they’re looking to put political expediency ahead of strategic and tactical military concerns. Even if that isn’t their intention, the appearance of just that is strong enough to warrant concern and question the Administration’s commitment to the Afghan campaign.

    Moreover, it will be interesting to see how the Administration addresses the Afghan government following Abdullah’s dropping out from the runoff election. The Administration was quick to accept the bogus election results in Iran with a bunch of tyrannical mullahs who had no problem slaughtering opposition members marching in the street demanding that the vote be recounted. Here, what will the Administration do? Will they shape their Afghan policy and curtail efforts or will they accept the disputed results and work towards improving the situation?

    If they curtail the efforts and somehow use the disputed elections as a wedge, it would be extremely troublesome particularly because the Administration would be pursuing a strategy that undermines our military efforts, distances ourselves from our allies, and once again shows that the Administration is more willing to deal with our enemies than to stand by our allies, even when our allies aren’t quite up to snuff on matters like elections.

    I guess the question is: what about the unemployed, and others who are simply unable to come up with that kind of money every month? There must either be some sort of “safety net” that provides for them, or they’re SOL and don’t get treated – reminiscent of the 10% to 15% of the US population that doesn’t have coverage for one reason or another.

    Downding, I don’t see how you can allege Sharmuta’s post #180 was about Iceweasel.

    The subject was an article suggesting a group of people were adult children, that is the logical inference.

    Bagua, as my posts above might have indicated, there are other issues going on here that are personal ones not on the blog.
    Jimmah does happens to be right about that claim, as he’s privy to that information.
    Personally, I would like to see no more discussion about whether it was or was not directed at me as a personal insult.

    I have commented on the factual content of the link Sharm posted above in the spinoffs, and why it’s not a useful or helpful source of info, and recommended some places to look for helpful info on the topic.

    Your username with Gravatar can be anything when you register there.

    You can make it panhandler5678, if you want. It doesn’t matter except to get back into Gravatar to change your avatar later.

    What matters is that the email you use on Gravatar must match the email you are using for Blogmocracy.

    Also, you may need to clear your cache after you’ve added an avatar so that you can see it here.

If I had to pick three it would be, “Funky Town” that was the first time I had heard music like that and I thought it was fantastic. Next would be “Sweet Home Alabama” because I know those guys and I have heard their stuff all my life. We are from the same town. And the third would be…”Amazing Grace” with the bagpipes. That was the first time I saw my dad teary eyed.
