HA! Mouse proof thead… 17 March 2009
Posted by marisacat in Divertissements.trackback
Well what can I say… I instructed the barely month old mouse to come to life (and it sort of did.. off and on), fast as I could went rampaging online for a mouse… discovered that Amazon does not charge tax so went with that.. breathed a sigh of relief.. and then, still speeding, placed the Safeway order… It would be a big pain in the ass to be adrift without the standard monthly order in.
Anyway, in case it dies, a fresh thread is up… and lordy, what drama over nothing.
In other news… I have no fucking clue how many mice, the furred variety, I have. (And they were suspiciously out of sight this morning as the mouse, accessory type, died… Some sort of familial shame? do you think?.. LOL)
But… have ordered the humane mice trapper… God knows I have them addicted to twice daily service of cut up potato bread, their fav. How hard can it be to entice them by subterfuge into a nice, panoramic view, smorgasbord inside, plexiglas box?
They lost interest in the cheese.
Marisacat 
Bonus maybe?
I could dangle million dollar bills inside teh plexiglas box… engraved with King Rat..
LOL…
No different than the other troubles..
😆
just count your blessings your keyboard didn’t go as well. my laptop’s keyboard/trackpad both went belly-up last weekend, ugh.
well fortunately I use the most basic… and the last one seems to retain the letters on the keys longer than all the previous… which is something i suppose..
It really is irritating tho..
Clusterfuck: Cuomo sends Barney Frank a letter… LOL
Somewhere or other yesterday I read that the UK has already opened fraud investigation against the AIGFP offices in London.
LOL Works for me.
Billy Connolly on Catholicism
You should bring that Benny and the (NY) Jet (lucid) thread forward. That was entertaining. 🙂
As for the thrift department, I thought your gov’t had an agency in charge of keeping things thrifty (or something). lol
Boy, it’s champagne and birthday cake every day now over at Poltiico. They get to drag out all the old lines.. and just slap them around.
When did Obama know?
and
Fallout: Dems in Disarray over AIG.
carry on… ( I just don’t know why but the ditty from Three Blind Mice is running thru my head.. “see how they run” 😉
If Gibbs had half a clue, he would have known how to answer the question about when Obamalama knew but so far he, like the rest of the newly annointed ones, have thought they’re untouchable. They’re not Bushco after all, right? Nope. Sure aren’t. But they’re making a whole new set of huge mistakes that will cost them not too far down the line. Cracking jokes at the pressers is already wearing thin.
fwiw.. this is the Mike Allen version.. I’ve not made it to Wapo. And NYT will just glide by.. wuld be my guess.

Maybe Ob is only now finding out that redemption of humanity is a sloppy business. Can get you nailed to a wall.
I think his real problem is that he not very engaged.
But he will feel better soon! Tomorrow is a speech to a Town Hall, soft stumbling Q and A… easy peasy!… Arnold will stand with him in OC… stand tall with Terminator! Taking down movie sets!
Then off to Leno.. jokes and smokes..
Then home to the 4 mamas… then taping 60 Minutes.
that will keep him busy busy busy. It will all seem real and new and shiny again.
Almost like the GE.. and vamping and vanquishing poor [rich] Old Hillary and Dumb Old McC
LOL I see Biden is attending the daily Economic Briefing.
No words.
Obama May Widen Drone War Over Pakistan
”Six times in the last two months, the new administration has used unmanned aircraft to strike at Taliban camps in the largely-ungoverned tribal wildlands on Pakistan. That could be just the start, however. New York Times reports that President Obama’s national security team is considering an expansion the target set, to include the Pakistani mainland. Specifically, they’re setting their sights around the city of Quetta, in Baluchistan.
snip
Already, some counterinsurgency specialists warn, the unmanned attacks have been destabilizing to an already-fragile Pakistan government. “If we want to strengthen our friends and weaken our enemies in Pakistan, bombing Pakistani villages with unmanned drones is totally counterproductive,” influential counterinsurgency adviser David Kilcullen recently told Danger Room. And that was before the mass protests in Lahore, the standoff between Pakistan’s two leading politicians — and these new reports, the drone war may extend even further than before.”
Obama’s War.
To be blunt.
The poor sad sack sucking off the R teat Democrats. If they gave a flying hoo hoo about anything, one way to KEEP THEM BUSH’S WARS was to conduct hearings.
But it is all about graft and taking over manning the money chutes. Nothing else.
Looks like full scale techno war on humanity..in the workforce and the undeclared war on the Middle East at large…
It always stuns me how the obsession with technolgy fails to receive much visible commentary…from any source….it’s one of the main reasons I dislike Gore..this unquestioned obsession with technology which is surely sucking up more energy than any other industry….The greatest truth which they’ll never admit, is that while they drive everyone to do all of their communicating and transactions, on a largely HACKED EXPOSED internet, they’re fully aware that there isn’t enough power to sustain that..the internet would likely implode if all of the citizens were on it…..yet DC seems aimed at cutting off elderly, rural (as they’ve done with the digital tv fraud, despite many of those people actually buying the new prescribed magik gadgetry) and millions in between who are so sick (many times physically: eyes, hands and stress, let alone EMFs) of 8 hours at work on a computer, they don’t have, or don’t want to use one at home..from what used to be the most simple transactions….without having to visit a fucking Library (if it hasn’t been closed down yet) to check their fucking bank balance………and fucking PAY to print out the proof of their transactions….
sick bot fucks they are
..and then of course….there’s that remaining verdict on the EXPLOSION of EMFs..which in my humble opinion…is sure to be quite damning……………
HA! Anybody cares, Tapper is a lot more detailed about the so called Time Line of what who when where in this miserable sage of nobody on deck.
Tho Mike Allen had one damning tidbit, Geithner, it would appear, dealt with cutting a deal with Liddy over the bonuses before the T dept legal looked it all over. Tapper writes it as though it was back and forth.. but that T Dept legals sorta decided to just agree with Liddy.
Send him home to mama. wether true or not.
So… when do we invade Mexico to make it safe from our gun runners?
well… now you know they are worried about their asses.. which are hanging in the wind…
Kids. OFA = Obama for America. They are supposed to go door to door freakin everywhere spreading the Gospel of Ob. I feared for a while I was going to lose her. She and her girlfriends were semi swept up, did GOTV. LOL. I knew I was old when the she-gang was at the house and I said “Why don’t you girls get involved with something healthy like The Hell’s Angel’s or The Moonies? ”
And they didn’t have a clue what I was talking about….
If this is any indication, they need a serious retool. They got too used to selling 15.00 Mugs bearing the likeness of Black Jesus.

This is the one comment.. and it’s a good one.

Aside from the patented fund raising hook and sheepherding…
there is the human shield aspect to this, using and abusing the rosy cheeked goodness in people, particularly newbies and that desperate set of very old …
Old as dirt, defrauding rubes, but it pisses me off MORE with time…
Quite apart from excusing their lack of inquiry, I understand the motivation of older older people looking to spark something, looking for relief, to “believe” etc. the difficulty in arriving towards the end of their lives confronting the fact that all they ever worked for and their world view was mirage…And I understand it the very young, not in a position to know, lacking perspective and venturing on a path that would prove unnavigable. I was a registered Democrat. Hell.
But I have no use for people with the benefit of education and experience, with information at their fingertips in a flash who REFUSE to revise their world view , who buy buy buy into this shit out of plain, lazy ass comfort seeking. Thing is, they’re as likely to call for his head on a pike when the narcosis wears off and swing to the RW.
using and abusing the rosy cheeked goodness in people, particularly newbies and that desperate set of very old …
which they are doing. And the return on the use and abuse is not low, not flat… it is a negative. The first half hour tonight on Charlie was depressing. Gretchen Morgensen, Greenberg the old head of AIG… Meredith Whitney… and one other who I did not know, an older financial analyst from.. ugh Forbes or Fortune, forget which. Geesh dark. Very dark.
Whitney said Obama administraton is not reaching out for help, at all. She was willing to be the most critical, the others just said,…. “they are saying nothing, and so we drift”.
Bad enough.
Apparently the FBI is investigating the collaspe of AIG… was it market forces or … gasp! ws it timed skullduggery!
Crashing thunder sounds, off stage.
Enter Lucid and his band, inexplicably discharged from a van in Jerusalem.
Accompanied by Middle East Envoy, George Mitchell. Arriving on the scene they come apon the Pope, who is about to ram his Crucifix in a Rabbi’s ass for hitting on Gaensweenie, as popsicle stick Jesus of The Rabbi Ass-bound speaks…
Opera, the AIG investigation, Billy Connolly, my verbosity…
it all comes together…
In an absurd CLUSTERFUCK. Why not?
I think it works. LOL.
LOL – I missed that plot twist last night… We’re playing tonight by the way – so good timing. Fortunately, Mitchell and pope Nazi won’t be in attendence – though I can’t say whether or not there will be rabbis there.

I GUESS IT’S TOO BAD NOBODY READ IT BEFORE IT PASSED, THEN: The Stimulus Bill Explicitly Guarantees Contractual Bonuses Executed Before February 11. Yeah, I know, I already mentioned this. But it’s a point worth making again — they rushed this stinker through, and now it’s biting them on the ass. Good.

A couple of hikers walk in…..
17. Diane, I read an excellent commentary — buried in the comments of some blog — on the pushing of technology. The comment is here:
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who wonders what good all this handheld technology really is – all these gadgets and games that are going to revolutionize us into social superbeings. All I see is the world spinning toward another big fat war. It’s about not being a Luddite, it’s just about being someone who doesn’t give a flying f—.
Speaking of technology, has anyone noticed the big Twitter explosion? It’s as if a secretly implanted microchip went off in everyone and forced them to sign up for Twitter this week. Twitter used to be a sort of neat way to microblog from your phone about cool stuff you were seeing and doing on the road; now it’s become so nauseatingly self-referential that everyone I know (me included) is now unfollowing people.
This whole hysterical ramp-up of Twitterfication and social media (Facebook vs. Twitter… ooh!) reminds me a lot of the hysterical shopping frenzy we all were expected to go on after 9/11 – the previous shock to the system. Now that we’ve experienced another shock to the system – Dow 6666 – we’re all supposed to embrace social media really hard and everything will be all right. But it’s empty activity, just like the shopping and overconsumption was. Maybe we’re in for another grim eight years of dishonesty and frothy, bubblicious behavior… and then the bottom really falls out. Woe.
I really don’t want to go through the ’00s again… but we may not have a choice.
Twitter astounds me.. I will go anywhere to infomration… but I don’t see aht I am going to get much from a back and forth of 140 characters. I really don’t.
One of the biggest cons was the “paperless office”. sigh. My law firm hired an IT woman in the early nineties, she sold herself on that ahd a 4 page resume (as I recall) on paper btw… LOL nto pesented on a disc of some sort. Sure, technology cna streamline SOME stuff. But the nature of a law firm depends on redundancies of resources and never being cut off from those resources (computers, electricity going down).
What a laugh it all was.
twitter has its uses. namely, in a localized disaster or big event, you can get real-time accounts by people stuck in the middle of it. i followed the sichuan earthquake last year there, it was fascinating.
but as a social phenomenon, yeah, i don’t see the use or appeal.
oh I agree.. and I am all for texting and related messaging. In the earthquake a few months ago in Southern California texting is what stayed up…
texting is *very* useful in quakes, because the time it takes to send a text message is so small that it gets through an overloaded system. i checked in with my parents and a bunch of friends after an earthquake in taiwan several years ago, after spending 20 minutes unsuccessfully trying to get a call to go through. disaster preparedness 101 stuff, really.
Snowmobile of death down!
LOL – I was just picking up lunch in the deli & the radio station they were tuned to was advertising California state bonds – as a great investment.
So, you’ve penetrated the NY radio market!
😈
I am pretty sure we HAD to advertise 2800 miles away… on the bi coastal game of it all… as adjacent states NV AZ Texas too!, etc are advertising INSIDE CA for businesses to move out of CA and, natch! to whatever state is advertising.
So I doubt they’d buy our bonds.
Yes please buy into us.. high state taxes, high retail tax, taxes on some foods, schools at 48th spot …only ahead of Utah and MS… and so on.
It’s a wild world out there…
Arnold spetn 5 years working hard to destroy what was left in the intervening years since Reagan… put in by Pete Wilson and the “oil patch boys”… and to this fucking day, nary a peep from the lower than snake shit state Democrats.
Breaking News from ABCNEWS.com:
Federal Reserve to Buy $300B of U.S. Govt. Debt in Another Attempt to Ease Recession [2:27 p.m. ET]
Translation: Large Blocs want their money and are trying to Flee Treasuries…..
It’s akin to a new pace in this Foot race to the Door within the Holiest of Holies , the once attended Executive washrooms in the Bankers American Whorehouse.
In advance of the G20, this “Gentlemen, Don’t Panic” toilet paper shuffle gives why to a most undignified, en masse Pants at the Ankles run, looking for anything the but the spent roll and Obama Inaugural cocktail napkin that Geithner offers in hand. Tips will not be left. They’ll take his pillbox hat and ludicrously red monkey suit to wipe their asses, too.
As the Fed, -an institution with even less credibility- is floundering to prop up the U.S. Treasury, the “safest puh-lace to invest in the bwerld” – the Gibbs drawl from last week –
Gibbs needs to be sent home t Alabama. Maybe they buy him some lips as a ‘Don’t let the door hit you’ gift.
You will need two aquariums…one for the boys and one for the girls….and wheel toys.
Good luck…
ugh if you mean the mice.. this is not long term hospitality. I saw one during a very cold snap with hard cold driving rain… and was deluded… becasue a few years ago in a very dark cold winter, I had ONE mouse for about 6 weeks.. Spring came and he or she left on its own.
Which owrked for me.. I did nto have to DO anything OR … anything.
But ugh I seem to have a tiny family. Who knew. It was two weeks before they showed a multiplicty…
LOL….like I said good luck with that…..
well I ordered humane mouse traps… plexiglas box, one way in no way out… etc… I live across from a park… so will take the prisoners there for release.
….#37, with what money? Recently printed? We should just quit paying them interest, they failed to protect the banking system.
NOW it is a trillion. Plus… I can’t believe they ever considered a mere few billions. Even hundreds of billions. Where is the end.
From The Page, they link to the NYT
it is a very depressing read. I heard Summers say on Sunday “we can print money as we have no inflation”..
LOL. I just finished my reply above , the Don’t Panic shimmy giving way to the mass Ministerial sprint…
Every pooper for himself!
CYA in progress:
Keystone Kops come to mind.
Rep Ackerman explains credit default swaps. (A must see.) 😉
Now Dodd is admitting on CNN (in a convoluted way, of course) that he and his staff DID make that modification in the legislation – saying the admin wanted it. BUSTED.
Big-time. The news traveled fast, to Yahoo Most Viewed: Dodd facing fresh political firestorm.
Spitzer seltzer, anyone? The Real AIG Scandal. It’s not the bonuses. It’s that AIG’s counterparties are getting paid back in full.
Dodd’s looking pretty slimy now. CNN played the tape of Dodd denying it yesterday after the reporter asked if he was doing a favour for AIG since he’s rcv’d the most lobbying money from that company.
Not “lobbying money”…donations.
I think he and Murtha will fall. The conservatives have been slowly chronicling stuff about Dodd for months now. what a tangle. And falling popularity in CT…
Now that the names of AIG bonus takers is surfacing, supposedly three are tight with him. As the monies to Ob from AIG were all around yesterday, so too with Dodd, who was No 1. Ob was No 2 with 101,000.
May they all claw each other to death.
Kuttner and Nader on with Amy…
Kuttner says Geithner gone in 60 days, too big a liability. They will have to convince old Obber. Very creaky mind there, when in trouble. It was obvious during the primary AND the GE.
That’s true, KC Fed chief broke with the gameplan a couple weeks ago.
well I knew about GS and about Allstate… however………….
Later Update: Some more about Liddy. He was on the board of Goldman Sachs before becoming AIG’s CEO. Before that, he was CEO of Allstate from 1999-2006.
And this I didn’t know: He was CFO under Donald Rumsfeld at Searle back in the 1980s when Rummy was CEO.
–David Kurtz
Dum-dee-dum-dum . . . dum-dee-dum-dum DUMMMMM!
Another indispensable connection, no doubt.
BTW – Among the questions Spitzer wants answered (link above @ comment 50) – “in public, and under oath” as he takes pains to say – are these:
I don’t see that happening tho. Even when the funneling of monies thru AIG was released, last week I guess…
I think the WH is going to nudge itself as little as possible and (in their minds) just work on making all the future bank and other bail outs go over.
hence all the PR scheisse coming down… from Leno to pre empting American Idol next Tuesday for special Ob message.
I don’t think it is going to work.
Oh I don’t think the WH is going to nudge itself either!
Just holding out hope that a few million outraged citizens, a handful of savvy (and/or scared) informants, and one or two or three eager AGs will keep tugging on the dirtiest threads in the warp, and woof!
Who owns Colorado’s rainwater?
This country is insane.
CA… 20% of the water goes for residential use… city and co human use… 80% goes for Ag…
I am fairly saving of water… just never broke habits from the 70s… but I know it is all a joke. Up against that use for ag
i’m not as sure on those #s, the 80% for ag may be from the federal water project, not necessarily all the water in the state.
nope, you were right, i checked it out, and the ratio’s about 50% for environment and natural river flows, 40% for ag and 10% for urban, which would be 80-20 if you left the water in the rivers and lakes out. i stand corrected.
well obviously I don’t know.. I just have read that figure, with no sourcing that I recall or noted, over some years.. and from different sorts of commentaters on water usage allocation in the state.
I have zero science base.. no math base.. along with a few other things; so I rely on sensing that I am reading honest evaluations.
Hansen who turned Gore on to the environment (oil patch baby, tobacco etc, let’s nto forget… nwo of course he is a VC big boy… LOL) says that over the years, we have cut electrical usage by 50% because we manage to maintain a level, despite growth. So I kind of run with that, as a marker. But honestly I have zip zero clue… I just grit my teeth and decide to trust Hansen
and so on. 🙄
well, colorado is, anyway. most other western states allow you to capture rainwater. i hooked up a barrel to my drains last year, filled it up with a weekend’s worth of rain.
Judge rules Merrill Jynch hs to release names of bonus (or whatever it was) recipients…
BTW, I read a few days ago that Goldman has been [cough] making “loans” to its people, in “these hard times”…
LOL loans that will be forgiven I would bet.
Woo-hoo! Chalk one up for Andy-boy! Clawwwwwwing back that “shroud,” for starters!
Hope the info is tendered quickly – article says possibly as early as tomorrow – and explodes. It’s Bonfire of the Vanities time! Throw another gang of crooks on the barbie!
Other signs of hopey-change (or at least potentially intelligent life) today:
Holder sez the DEA will only go after major MJ distributors in violation of federal and state law . . . .
John Walker Lindh is losing some of his extra-special fetters
Feds to ease restrictions on ‘American Taliban’.
and
The Obama administration on Wednesday formally endorsed a U.N. statement calling for the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality, a measure that former President George W. Bush had refused to sign.

Very steady, then little uptick, little more, then the line shot straight to the sky. Like defenestraton UPWARDS. Suicidal float.
her family just announced that Natasha Richardson died.
there has been some speculation out here that there may be a pre-existing condition.
All the baby ski slopes I have been on (and I never got further, very much the “it’s too cold!” or “I fell, I’m done” type) were such soft slopes, cleared of anything .. no rocks, no trees… that it is a wonder. The most damage I ever got was when I slide down and sat on the edge of an old fashioned wood ski.
Then they interviewed all sorts of people on the slopes wearing helmets.
….
I was very sorry to hear that. There was something that seemed very gentle about her.
Natasha Richardson, rest in peace. For some reason her death makes me feel old. Maybe because I remember her from a lot of movies and TV back from the ’80s and ’90s when I was veddy into veddy British entertainment. I didn’t realize she was that young.
(yes, rest in peace from the ghoulish global deathwatch of the social media world…)
A few squibs from the Financial Times [UK] blog – last Fall…
I remembered the name and where I saw it…
And noted [what I thought, considering the source -{US!}] a head fake:
IOW, “The Unthinkable” being the U.S. left with no other resort but to print money to buy in its own debt.? How could it be? Unnecessary. TBTF and all that –
It was interesting Confirmation indeed to follow the Financial Times discussion boards in the Fall…
A few weeks later Last Nov- after US denials did little to persuade European observers or their perception of “The Unthinkable” –
LOL. I just heard on NPR that a retro WWll PR campaign , “Keep Calm And Carry On!” is now the rage in the UK.

That’s a shame. She probably had a tear in her carotid during whiplash, similar to the spectator killed after struck by a hockey puck. There is really is nothing that can be done without immediate craniotiomy to relieive pressure within the braincase.

LOL well he got 1300 slap happies in Costa Mesa this afternoon… no questions about AIG… but I have not seen the transcript yet… local report here called it “half revival meeting, half campaign stump”.
Yup, that’s what makes him smile.
The comments in the NYT thread are a hoot. The faithful troops best gear up.
I just read the party is already plotting how to use him for the mid terms.
Limbaugh, Hannity and Glenn Beck are defending the bonuses.
well I don’t know about Hannity and Beck, but the twist Rush has put on it (this week anyway) is that the binuses are a diversion (not that government should dare to tell corps anything anyway, LOL) AND the real issue is the counterparties… a la Spitzer.
Not that it matters.
And I agree, bonuses ARE diversion. But they sure have traction. Like golf shoes… 😉
I don’t like the bonuses too much myself…but I like this much better
Ah, Talk like this takes me back to my youth..
Very sad news about Richardson.
I am checking the death notices… so far very blank on what sort of accident. jsut that it was “minor”. They hauled out the Sonny Bono story here.. but he ran smack into a big tree at high speed. A tad different.

The Dodd story just gets worse. He did it “at the best of the admin”.. then it was done for a “Treasury official who wants to be nameless”.
LOL… listening to call in radio here and my, the people who felt Obrama promised them transparent government are kinda ticked.
meanwhile they not only closed streets to traffic in Costa Mesa, they cleared pedestrians from the sidewalks.

yeah he’s been slipping in the polls no questiion, think the R have him on tape that he did not read the Stumble Bill…… Ready made ad…

Dad and Nuremberg… etc. But then Friend of Angelo, Countrywide… all sorts of little scams and whams from years n the banking committe… THEN the cottage in ireland.

And it came in the blast email.
Infantile turd eater for treat-treats.
MAMZ should look like lubed orifice he is when the EFCA goes down at the hands of all the fucksteaks he’s basted as “Progressives”: Tester, Warner, McCaskill, etc. But nooooo, Arlen Spector will save the day. How Pathetic, along with the scheisse about Rendell.
What cockaMAMZ crap.
Not a word from Orange-Baby-Poo-Face either, on the effect that the bailout smash and grab having is having in PA, how the Fumo conviction and in-state anger over Dem payola has cast an entirely different dynamic on 2010. Quite simply, Moulitsas is talkin shit: Rendell is going to see Arlen elected as long as Arlen draws breath, and Spector is about as likely to hop on the Democratic sinking ship as Markos is going to dunk as an All Pro center in the NBA.
So stick with the piano, the Lawrence Welk “studies set”, Markos.
LOL. The Democratic Kissafuckin Death is when Rendell pledges to work FOR the Party.
Here’s the correct link to MAMZ on PA
Sorry. I’m out.
Clusterstuck stays Dodd returned the 103K he got in 2008 from AIG. hmm frm a dozen execs… hmmm ?
But what about PapaBama. He got 101,000.
PS… Dodd got that money from execs at the FP division.
OK that does it, everybody off the cliff to the shoals below.
We’re hitting hour 5 here on local call in…. of disillusionment, at the least.. and some despair. Incredulity. Quite a few are well aware that Geithner was at NY Fed and was in the plans with Paulson. hmm they ask why did Obama not know.
The 1.2 trillion has really hit people. No one seems to give a hoot he is gamboling about in So Cal chatting up the folkes.
More important, will he lose the American Idol voters next Tuesday.. when his speech preempts AI.
Who knows. Who cares.
AI is canceled that nite, FYI.
Big rush on tomatoes to throw at the teevee. Get yours now!
Okay. I’m starting a pool for how long Geithner has left. He’s obviously toast. I pick March 31.
Treasury Learned of AIG Bonuses Earlier Than Claimed
I have no idea what the reaction might be but there are bonuses (or whatever) coming up, and in the news, for Fannie and Freddie. Mostly the reports mention around 600K but I have read a few were over 1 million.
They have spread a lot of “campaign” cash around congress too, for years, even as all of these companies lost money.
Onward.

Speaking of: I was just looking at pics of a sit in in Harbin China… laid off distillery workers…
At huge risk to their lives, no doubt.
people are fucking tough up there, it’s china’s equivalent of the rust belt. oil fields, heavy industry, all declining. edgy place, and cold as all hell in the winter.
