Well, I was thinking of a laptop for the main PC

When the desktop went south again. I was thinking it's as powerful as a tower and if we wanted, we can always unplug everything for portability.

What I wasn't really thinking about was that the laptop is protected from voltage surges through it's charger.
That tower made it through this summers rolling black-outs with no problem and the few outages we've had since.

Until that voltage spike we just had.

Then I had a gray screen of death with a pink line on top.
After I tried rebooting, we have the blue screen of death.

And I still have to see how much we owe that tax cheat- Tim Geithner.

Nevermind.
I powered everything down for five minutes and we're good to go.

It's not only physics

where Newtons laws work.
Especially those ones about actions causing reactions.

....or you could use another blast from the past with the whole- I did a snake good, but it bit me anyway parable.
You know the one where it ends up ..."you knew what I was when you saved me" thing.

Enjoy this video, but be prepared to hit pause a lot because it's in Hebrew and the subtitles are hard to read.



Yeah, those people who need a country status.


But, then ,,,if they DO get status as a*real* country,,,,and they keep rocketing Israel- that's an act of war. Isn't it?
And Israel can just hammer the sheit out of them until they surrender?


Ok, sounds good to me.

Here's a tip for gun sellers

If you're selling something that's not mainstream,,,like everyone knows it.
Say a WIN '94 30-30, or an M1903-A3 30-06.

lets say you have a Beretta 1873 lever action .357 rifle and you want to sell it online.
Maybe you could break out of the mold of just cutting and pasting the websites vague description and TELL me about your rifle.
Take some pictures, tell me what kind of safety I'll be getting.
I know it's right out of the box, but tell me how it feels. How is the trigger?
Is there a firing pin interlock?

I'm not there, This is the first time I knew Beretta made a lever action rifle.
Is it like a Puma that has some BS safety that you have to work around every time you shoot?

From the miniature pictures I see, it looks like I can put a peep sight on it, or is the case just too weak to handle tapping?


I'm not going to spend $700+ on something I *might* like without a little more input.

TYVM

Starting a little early

But one to not pick up some easy blogfodder, I'm appropriating this preliminary Republican candidate list from Jim over at The Travis McGee Reader.


And my thoughts on each one.

--Michele Bachmann, congresswoman, Minnesota
She seems real enough, but can we afford to lose her in the Senate?
Especially with that idiot moron who stole the election Al Franken drooling as the ony other vote?

--Haley Barbour, Mississippi governor
Seems conservative enough

--John Bolton, former ambassador, Bush II's point man in Iraq
YES! Please.....

--Herman Cain, Godfather's Pizza
YES! The first real American black President.

--Mitch Daniels, Indiana governor
Meh, We'll see... Mr. B says no- maybe he'll tell us why?

--Newt Gingrich, former U.S. House speaker, Georgia
No Farging Way! Way too much baggage, nice to see you making nice with SanFran Nan over Cap-N-Tax.

--Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor, Fox teevee star
Another LOSER from the 2008 suckage on a ballot.

--Jon Huntsman, former ambassador to China
....Wasn't he a Clinton guy? Wrong Lib, he's >Obamas boy.

--Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor, VP candidate 2008
Wonderful, but she'd probably be better behind the scene. I would vote for her in a heartbeat, but she's probably not electable.

--Rand Paul, Kentucky U.S. senator (if his dad opts out)
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

--Ron Paul, Texas congressman, former LP presidential candidate
Remember Ross Perot? That's all I'm going to say about the nutjob.

--Tim Pawlenty, former Minnesota governor
Conservative enough, I guess.....

--Mike Pence, Indiana congressman
Conservative enough, I guess.....

--Buddy Roemer, former Louisiana governor
Conservative enough, I guess.....

--Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts governor
YGTBSM The Godfather of ObamaKare. A plastic man trying to pretend to be not a Liberal.

--Rick Santorum, former U.S. senator, Pennsylvania
Conservative enough, I guess.....

--John Thune, South Dakota U.S. senator
Conservative enough, I guess.....

--Donald Trump, businessman, casino operator, teevee star
At least he understands how money actually works

UPDATES COMING IN NOW

Jeb Bush ex-Governor of Fla.
Just NO. We have enough fake conservatives in DeeCee already.

Alan West Ret. Col. Fla Rep
I would LOVE to vote for this man, but right now, we need him where he's at 2018 definitely!

How fucking dare you, Pete Meachum

To compare Republicans in the House who are against that pitiful trimming of the budget that we got from Boehner to that communist bitch Hanoi Jane Fonda.

Dude, you've been in Washington way too fucking long. You're starting to sound just like your fellow travelers on the Left that Nancy Pelosi wants to see back running the RINO party.
The same kind of political hacks that got us in this mess in the first place.

Tell your boss, Kevin McCarthy to got blow himself too- because if he didn't feel the same way, you wouldn't be talking those same DEMOCRAT talking points you read on your favorite blog- the HuffPo.

Asshole.

Kaptain Kickass wants to cut $400 billion in Defense spending

over the next decade to bring our deficit down.
Maybe we could go a little further and - like have everyone share that pain.
Like Scrooge McObama wants everyone to sacrifice a little.
So why not EVERY cabinet department cut $400 Billion?

$400bn x 15 Cabinet departments= looks like $6 Trillion dollars to me.
If the Defense can do it while fighting three wars, why can't his political apparatchiks do it?

So Kobe Bryant is homophobic

or something, because called the ref a fag.

Well, here's something for any gay readers I might have.

This would be fun to watch

Except this global climate wrecking news will be buried.

Who knew that Hemp was bad for the environment? Since Those dopers are all in on the "Global warming climate changieness" thing, we know they'll do the right thing for mother Gaia.


Because nothing says comedy better than potheaded Liberals getting hit upside the head with real life.

Got milk?

Look at the dogs drinking old milk.


UPDATE

The only cat we have in the house took one sniff and walked away.

"Hello Sweetie"

I brought you a present.



Now, Sweetie- I'm going to teach you how to drive with the brakes off....*


*You had to be there, it's a TARDIS thing.


And since Mike W. was disappointed in certain parts of Dr. Songs anatomy, you get a double hit of ...Companionship in Miss Martha Jones:-D

Go over here

So, Officer Krupke

What brought your attention to this post?

She admitted that?

I don't think Nancy really realizes what she just admitted to when she said:

To my Republican friends: take back your party. So that it doesn’t matter so much who wins the election, because we have shared values about the education of our children, the growth of our economy, how we defend our country, our security and civil liberties, how we respect our seniors.

So, SanFran Nan is admitting that there really is NO difference between the Democrats and Republicans up in DeeCee? She's giving insider words to what the great unwashed murmur amongst themselves?

The Tea Party is actually a second party than the "Politics as Usual Party" section *D* or *R*.

Thanks Nancy, I hope someone uses that quote next year.

Look! It's Megan McCain!

She's in a pr()n video, but she's not taking credit for her real name.
Way to show how much of a progressive Republican you are Megan.

What kind of a scam is thus?

Or is this guy so full of himself that he thinks he'll be mobbed if he uses his hunting name?

I see "THEY" are targeting FireFox

I just got a warning of massive spyware and virus infections on FF. It's not as scary looking as that MS ZOMYGAWDYOURCOMPUTEZZ-GOINGTOBLOWUP one for MS.

Guys, you need to try harder m'k?

The Zygote of Obamakare

is making an exploratory committee into running for President- again.

Yes, you read thar right, Mitt Romneycare is going up against Obamacare in trying to see who can B.S. the American people into screwing themselves even farther into an unrealistic financial .... quagmire.

Mitt Romney- vote for another Republican loser!


If you want, I didn't because I don't even want to waste that time I could be picking up cat shite.
That's how not worth my time Mitt is, ok?

The next time TSA gropes a 6yr old girl

Someone really needs to get a buddy and start playing this on a ghetto blaster...

I bet they get arrested.

I was looking for something else..

When I came on this .gif
....And I just couldn't not pass on some Gwen Cooper, because you know you miss her.


More?





She says You're welcome.

Color me surprised

You know, that video-op of obama running up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
What I'm surprised about is that no one has put the Rocky theme in there yet.

Should I?

Like I said, it's a $2 cut and if the 0bominator didn't throw the economy into reverse, and then hit the gas- I wouldn't have a problem with it, because the expensive truck gort paid off.
The problem is, with that pay cut- will I be able to AFFORD that 110 mi commute every day at $5/gal gas?

Look at this picture

It's Helen Mirren going through an X-ray machine at LAX.


But that's not the reason I put it up.
Look at those TSA perverts. One of them looks like she's standing on the recieving side of that radiation machine.

I don't see anything that looks like a radiation badge on either one of them.
Nor do I see any kind of certification on the machine like I'd see on a hospital X-ray machine.

Good thing we have Obamacare for when she gets cancer, so we won't be having to pay for all those expensive cancer treatments-huh?

Found it!

The poll was the problem.

I don't know what in that code was interfering, but as soon as I took it off the posts, it went away.

The results were:

Groucho with 9 votes
Brian with 8
Obama got 2 (whoever you jokers are)
and Charlie 1

How much do you think this cost?

I've seen this on several blogs now, but nobody has mentioned one thing.

NO President goes anywhere, to meet anyone without everyone and everything being examined far in advance.
It's not like Rocky Obama decided to just hang with the peasants on the way to the links.
Because the Secret Service won't even let him walk in Central Park.

Or check out the Arugula prices.

Or drive the 5-MPG limo to the car wash so he can mingle with his peeps.

How's this?

Bushwack is going to get his pick and start prying all the bad coding that somehow ended up in the template when he gets time.

So I'm putting it how it would look once that brown cr@p is gone.
I do like the white on blue text, so that'll stay.
Anything else?

-----UPDATE-----

E-gawd, sorry about that color.
I ajusted it on my laptop and only now got on the main computer.

Hope this is better.

More of that hopie-changyness

I thought the iWON was going to spread oil ecofriendly biodegradable lubricating fluid on the troubled waters of the world.
We were going to have peace in our time by getting rid of dictators who supported us and replacing them with....well we haven't thought it through that far....but Mubarak is gone!!
So we don't really have a dog in that rioting that's going on in Egypt today- right?

I mean because last time they were rioting and the army wasn't shooting into the crowd- but there was a friendy dictator- so it was a CHANGE needing to happen so the Mosum Brotherhood could hijack the "democracy" that was starting.

But we hear nothing from Mr. Hopieness about the army taking charge because his buddies are set to take over, and a few hundred bodies are really nothing in the grand scheme of things.





Unless we can somehow blame those evyll Rethuglicans...

Not even an earworm

There was a video back in the mid `80's that had John Candy talking about his brother as a segue to the song. They were sitting around a table and john was saying A real honor student. Yes your Honor, no your Honor- No contest your Honor..."

I had a guy in my fire team who was always saying that in his Joisie accent- "yes yowa Hona, no yo Hona, no contest yo Hona."

I can't remember the song, or who sang it, but it must have been a hit because it was in the box in Rota, Spain's EM Club.



Ok, an earworm from way back then

Making a bug a feature

How do y'all like my new dress?

Something is locked in the HTML editor because I can't change any background color or I get an error code saying that color is not supported.



Hmmmm....maybe if I click that little *help* button for known issues...

Way to stand up for principals there John

I said "Maybe John Boehner remembers who put him where he's at. That maybe he's not another spineless Republican. He may actually shut the .gov down on principle."

I was wrong.

He cave for half of the minuscule cuts that were on the table.
Way to go House Leader! You showed them- and us -how we can expect you to act when REAL cuts are on the table.

I wonder if there's going to be a viable third party out in time for 2012?
