“Hiding in place”.. sounds like a good talent to practice…
The Orting shootings got the least attention, in a manner of speaking, and a sad little story it is.
[A] neighbor, Ryan Peden, 16, said he had exchanged text messages with Maxine Harrison up until about 11 p.m. Friday.
In the last text message he received from Maxine, Ryan said, “Maxine told me, ‘I’m tired of crying. I’m going to bed. I’ll talk to you in the morning.’ ”
Ryan said he knew Maxine from talking with her at a school bus stop. He said they were not particularly close but had been in contact more frequently recently. He said that she was a good student but that neither she nor the other children appeared to have been involved with many activities beyond school. …
Madman posted this at the end of the last thread.. so moving forward:
Strong earthquake hits central Italy
NYT has an update…
Not to belabor the point… but after having a home computer for a fw years… 15 or so you would think I would have gotten down to brass tacks and learned a few things. No… everytime i have problems it is like being a big fog tunnel.
After trying various tweaks and cleanings and defragings and so on, wondering if I had to wipe the hard drive and get out the discs again…I remembered that the Fire Fox cache is separate. A few seconds to clean it.. and poof. Problems gone.
congrats!
hmm I have no idea what Kos/Koswhacks are saying about the Pitssburgh killings… but the righties are all buzzing about it.
A link at Instapundit led to this, which had an interesting graph of Kos traffic. To the extent Site meter matters… I would have no idea.
Oh how it must suck to be an Obamamite…
Holder wants MORE Federal Marijuana Possession Prosecutions
LOL they’ll end up grudgingly supporting it… “well I voted for Obama and I am not happy about this, but maybe in his second administration… ” etc. Unto the grave.
BTW, I was looking at an interactive map of unemployment numbers and saw that OR is higher than CA… I think OR CA NV and CO (and anyone who wants to join us) should just call ourselves The Drug States and get on with it.
From what I read, NV goes back and forth whether to ignore growing at small levels or not, what to legalize how to write the laws… CO has Medical MJ laws as well (or districts do) and I cannot imagine that OR would be against it with that high unemployment.. think it was 10.8 or higher.
Go for it. Make them come arrest us.
All we need is Monsanto. Switch off the bit that makes pot an appetite stimulant. Switch on the one that makes it an appetite suppressant, call in Oprah’s diet-loving minions and go go go !!
Speaking of which I am inundated with “Dr Oz and Oprah recommend” in box spam, could only help to get it to be a appetit suppressant…
what a hoot!
I wonder if Grace Slick will come out of semi-retirement to help pitch the new “magic herb.”
One puff made you bigger
But this other puff will make you smallll…
[sorry]
what a fucking waste of money and resources.
Good to know. I read about that boycott call last week and I was wondering if I should get rid of my Motorola cell phone.
Independent has an update on teh planned Sharia laws in Afganistan.
They are kind to Ob… leaving out (but quoting NATO ministers with stronger statements and threats to withdraw troops they wish weren’t there anyway…) that he has said it is “abhorrent” but it “will not deter the mission”.
Wonder what the fuck the mission is but to enhance and enrich the MIC and related parties.
hmm The newly minted Catholic says to “attack NKorea with electromagnetic pulse”.
That would be Gingrich.
what a clown. Maybe there is some tech that I’m not aware of, but as far as I know the only way to get a strong EM pulse is to detonate a large nuclear device (despite some of the stories floating around about “pulse grenades” etc).
Oh. I thought maybe his Popeyness suggested N Korea should be massaged to death.
only the little boys
Voters Say 3-1 Paterson Does Not Deserve Election, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Most Say He Should Announce Now He Won’t Run
Ooo. Ouch.
Maybe NYCO or IB or Lucid can tell what happened… I saw things in the press, PR and related, that told me a good while ago he was in trouble… but I don’t know what really did it…
Only IMHO, he pissed off too many people with the Kennedy thing, and then pushed a lot of irritating little taxes and fees in response to the economic crisis.
That’s all it is, really. But I guess that’s all it takes. I guess he didn’t really stand a chance in an economic collapse, being a blind black man and all. He wasn’t about to get much respect anyway.
Already planning my falling-dinosaur avoidance strategy for Clash of the Idiots 2010. In fact I’m considering taking 2010 *off* from blogging, depending on how silly everyone gets. Then I can come back fresh for the next act.

lol
That’s how I feel right now about so-called global politics. The thing is, the old batch of idiots is just replaced by a new batch. Plus ca change and all that…
The way I figger it… during the 2010 New York elections, everyone’s going to be wrong anyway. And not just wrong… but obsessively, masochistically wedded to wrongness (in the form of this or that candidate). I want to come in and bat cleanup.
lol…good luck with that!
It must be a so-called progressive thing. The other day I linked to kos calling “American” a language and now this: Obama thinks Austrian is a language.
Ruh-roh…
Debt Bomb Is Ticking Loudly on Campuses
Not surprising, considering the higher education industry (along with the health care industry) teeters precariously in the middle layers of the whole global Ponzi scheme.
Well, I saw that [i]Maxed Out[/i] docu a few months ago, where college students were literally killing themselves to get out of debt. Maybe a few deans should take one for the team. Y’know, just to balance things out.
There was quite the entertainment on PDX Indy a year or two back, when PSU’s regents quietly rigged it so students could only access aid through use of debit cards. Wheeee…
11 AM ABC local news…
A couple of local Med MJ activists had scheduled meetings today with DEA officials here at the Fed Builidng… about the raid a couple weeks ago of Emmalyn’s, a provider here… they say, coming out of the meeting, that DEA told them there is “no change in policy”.
Sounds like the redacted letter, but for the greeting line, that DOD ”allowed” Obster to [not] read, from a Gitmo def counsel. A letter iirc addressed to the president.
So whaddup Ob? Got the reins… Or not?

I see the Dow is down. Must have been Michelle’s last outfit. (big white bow!) I mean, what else matters?

Someone slap my hand! I didn’t even check to see what the first dame is wearing today. Surely if I were a yank, that would be treasonous.
LOL big white bow was Prague… I am nto sure what she is wearing today, but she is home.
What a lauhg it all is…
You can have the cell next to mine, catnip. :/
Woohoo! Letters on toilet paper. I can’t wait.
Death toll over 100
Didn’t Obamalama promise to reduce defence spending? (Or was I hallucinating?)
Local media is reporting that the Binghamton shooter sent a letter/photos of himself to a local cable station postmarked the day of, a la Seung-Hui Cho I guess.
More media circus.
