Frozen Planet: pictures from Sir David Attenborough’s latest polar TV series – Adélie adults make their chicks chase them for food after returning from the sea, Cape Crozier, Antarctica. The chase is to bring their chicks away from the large creches in the colony and deter other greedy chicks from collecting food from penguins that are not their parents! [BBC/Jeff Wilson]
Seems appropriate to Hallowe’en… everybody guarding their candy haul.
Obviously I am slow, just catching on that the Dow lost 276 pts today.
Trick? Not a treat, that much is sure…
Hey try and hold down on the shoplifting out there, okay?
😆
What? No matching shoes or bag?
Laughed all the way thru… 😉
😆
she held back! It was just a quick pick up! Too confused and busy for shoes or bag!!
She has been hilarious!
She was busy and confused! She was talking on two phones! Somehow she walked out with 2500 in clothing! But she does not know how!!
I am so hopeful for the GS… es at the Port of Oakland… AND esp as tonight/today the dock workers will not unload – so the story goes – what may be exploding refrigerated units…. they were improperly serviced in Vietnam and – so the story goes – have been ex[loding in China, Vietnam and Brazil… killing three in Vietnam.
AND several WC ports are involved…. i LVOE the timing!!
Who knows if it is true or what.
I see it as part of a whole, with the wildcatter strike that started up in Longview WA … last month I htink it was.
“They Only Call It Class War When We Fight Back
Yeah, I’m so old-fashioned that I actually trust the union’s recounting of events over that of Michelle “Peabrain” Malkin.
Local FOX news also kept yammering about RAMPANT LONGSHOREMAN VIOLENCE!!11… while the only footage they had was of ILWU members being cuffed by the sheriff.
No doubt all the RAMPANT!!11 stuff was just… misplaced. Like all the HIPPIES THROWING ROCKS!!11 footage in Oakland was.
:eyeroll:
😆
You know MM and IOZ went to the same liberal arts college… Oberlin.
In case you needed a late night giggle…
(kiss the kitties!!)
That IS beautiful.
=^..^=
I htought it was a scream! He posted it a few years back when doing some post on MM.
and that strapping lad has never been the same since…
oh he has posted more than once how the boychicks at oberlin and the like, dive into the homosexual world while at Liberal College 4 Year Camp, prior to going off to acquire wives and children and dogs and cats and a job on Wall St. And an Audi or Jaguar or Hummer or _________________ fill in the blank.
A hoot!!
I almost went to Oberlin – and the conservatory made it very tempting. It was my second choice. I wanted to get the fuck out the midwest though.
Had no idea MM went there. Lulz.
😉
Yeah, I always knew that lucid character was trouble. 👿
You stab em we slab em.
The news this am… Ann Coulter is claiming R bad asses are better than Dem bad asses. Yes, those would be black bad asses.
And Dow is off 224. I think we are blaming Greece. Hell why not. They musta done SOMETHING at some point. Maybe that whole “democracy” mythos.
We of course are as pure as the driven snow in a meadow loaded iwth fulminating cows.
****
In other news two “maritime terminals” are shut at Port of Oakland… and the lines of trucks not being unloaded is looooong. Long. And getting longer.
AND a house exploded over night in Richmond in the East Bay, exploded so hard it blew the occupants outside to the street. Nobody seems to know why.
The suburbs are dangerous.
***
On the upside that horrific chienne de guerre is off the blood path for a few days. Mother Rodham died. Necessitating Hillary putting down the AK 47 and the grenades. And dropping the drones she carries in her left hand.
Maybe that whole “democracy” mythos.
EXACTLY! they are putting the so called bail out to a full national vote. Works for me…. tho in the end it won’t matter… France and Ireland utterly rejected EU silliness when they had the chance at a national vote. NTIM
😆 The French distributed, paper form thru the national mail, the EU constitution to every household in France in advance of the vote. They won’t be doing that sort of thing again…. 🙄

Obviously they did not think positive thoughts.
Right right right. The children are SO disorganised. They have no plans, no this no that…. riiight.
One of Robert Johnson’s gallery of photographs from Zuccotti Park
Link to gallery itself
hmm as you go thru the galler of RJ photos and read his captions, it seems he is turning against Zuccoti Park (crime drugs homelss I guess are his issues). I looked over the pics and the truncated captions… and I don’t see it.
For the flip side, an historian and his wife went to walk around and thru ZP on the 22nd of October.
nope, no sign of organization at all, just a mass of anarchists with no direction … pay no attention to this detailed schedule!
Exactly. Just a bunch of pot swilling, camp fire hijinks, long haired, unwashed, supported by Momma and Poppa lay abouts.
CitiGroup getting hammered. Hammered.
I think I’ll have a cigar afterall….
have one for me.

But let’s laugh while we still can, Friends.
Well the way I see this playin out,
It looks like Corzine is going to get arrested.
And Good on ya, Jon. …Doin Jersey PROUD! Our Boy!
LOL. …Anyways –
According to the AP , the “firm” admitted they used client funds to “federal investigators”. Oh I know, fix is in, but Jacks don’t beat Kings, and someone had the SIPC move in very quickly as JPMorgan has filed for a lien on ALL of MF’s assets.
Poor Cotzine.
Caught flat-footed in a Bankster-on-Bankster dive-by.
He s expendable apparently.
If I were him, I’d flee the country.. but then I am not a Democratic Party Patriot.
Yeah right.
Someone posted this link in the comment thread of IOZ’s current post. I thought I’d pass it along, because it is hilarious.

I say punditry should call on Cain to call on the NRA to release the women. Conf call!!
Since it was all nuzzink to see here, etc.
I think it is SO UNFAIR that Greece made Corzine do what he did. SO mean of them. Those duplicitous Greeks. They should make reparations for being to the S and E of Europe.
Traitorous of them. To not be East of Lichtenstein. West of Switzerland. South of Iceland. North of France.
So the Dow clsed down 300. Another stone aorund the neck of Greece.
Mcat, I popped you a link to the news that B of A decided to back down on those $5 card fees, but I think the spam filter ate it.
out now,. but I will repost it as it may be up thread a ways….

RE Posting ms_xeno’s comment…. (I for one am relieved they pulled back, fwiw)
Thanks. I would’ve told you sooner, but a certain four-footed beast had to be dissuaded from eating papers off the drawing table. Again.
He says he was there FIRST. And Second and Third.
