I think this is probably a gross overestimate but, at the same time, the rumors of a Democrat surge in the final days of the campaign are greatly exaggerated:
Michael Barone, co-author of the Almanac of American Politics, says either of the Gallup turnout models would produce “a Republican House majority the likes of which we have not seen since the election cycles of 1946 or even 1928.” Mr. Barone says the historical parallel might no longer be 1994, when the GOP gained 54 House seats, but instead 1894, when Republicans gained more than 100 House seats in the middle of the economic downturn that engulfed Democratic President Grover Cleveland.
Whatever happens it’s gonna be an interesting November.
We all wish we could all do math like this Girl
Thanks Darren.

#71 mharper Yes that’s him, should have been more specific. Doc has had him on Beta Blockers which keeps his heart rate down to like 50 BPM, even so, he’s still had a couple of incidents that went away quickly. There’s just something not right about keeping an active 19 yr old’s heart rate down that low. It is a… Read more »

That’s because you see more of what he was on set during the Star Trek series.

This sounds like a good treatment, being minimally invasive. Is it being performed in Houston? Hope you get a permanent fix this time.
We’ve lost the “archives” from LST, so forgive me for asking for a reminder — is your son the one who had his semester interrupted?
TT, thanks.
I can relate to that! 😀
I think there is something biological involved in the “throws like a girl” thing. There are gender differences in what our bodies are good at and how they are put together. Thus it can be hard if not impossible for many girls to make the motions that equal good pitching. Throwing to base is a bit different and perhaps easier… Read more »

Here’s prayin’ that this is last time to see a doctor in while!
Reliving those early softball chasing years reminded me of another event… My oldest sister had married and he joined in one of the neighborhood games. we couldn’t find the softball and so were using a hardball this day. I was in my usual spot in the out-outfield and hadn’t had much business that day. I was daydreaming, watching some birds… Read more »

Son goes in for his 3rd Cardiac Ablation tomorrow, Lord willin’, they’ll get it this time.
Crist throws like a girl, Ms. TT throws like a boy.
#35 TT I had never seen most of those Star Trek stills. It is disconcerterting to see those big unSpockian smiles on Nimoy’s face when he is wearing the ears. Some good pix of Shatner back when he was still handsome & exuded integrity. I don’t knock anyone’s right to make a living, but most of what he does these… Read more »

Charlie Crist throws like the big sissy he is.
#56 Wagonburner Charlie Crist throws like a girl. As a former girl, I take umbrage at that comment. When I was very young, like age six or so, our family used to play the rest of the neighborhood in frequent baseball games. Yes, our family vs. every other kid in the neighborhood. Since I was so young, I was put… Read more »

That was totally redundant. 🙂
Rumors swirl: Democrat set to drop out in Florida and endorse Charlie Crist?
I agree. 😯
Great news: Federal judge finds ObamaCare mandate constitutional
Good thing we have those places where only the facts matter; not misinformation and fear mongering.
Charlie Crist throws like a girl.
With really, really bad aim.

CAT5 has so much more capabilities than coaxial and even HDMI. It’s a very logical choice for connecting home electronics.

Very fun to see those Star Trek pics. We’re Netflixing Voyager and we’re finally coming upon the inclusion of the Borg into the series.

LOL! In Chicago, there’s a lot of potential votes in those graves. 🙂

It’s best you remain mute on that period since you don’t believe in it yourself.
bob #7; So according to the apparently prevailing logic (or lack thereof) here, if 51% of voters in Texas favored a constitutional amendment legalizing indentured servitude, that would be hunky-dory, and any court that ruled otherwise would be legislating from the bench. You mean if 51% of the legislatures voted in favor of indentured servitude and the governor of Texas… Read more »
#49 – fortunately busy-with-good-margins and longer miles / higher average gross lately (amazingly enough)
Today was easily my busiest day in 9+ years (or at the very least in the top 10)
perhumps a bit like being a cop – all the activity generated still has about 6 hours of paperwork to catch up with the freight!

Yeah, but are you making any money ?

I have a couple of students in my class who think they’re all that and a bag of chips. One in particular thinks she is so cute that she can do whatever she wants. I caught her and her boyfriend passing notes – right in front of me! – during class, so I confiscated them. At checkout, I was at… Read more »
#40 WB, TV & internet, or just internet? If both, I suggest fanning it out to the set top boxes with CAT5 instead of existing coax. I’ve been very satisfied with the internet performance, especially the consistent upload throughput.
[Sarge, I’ll try to respond after work.]
This site here is right now predicting a GOP Takeover of the senate and a split in the house with 36 races to close to tell..
I see Drudge has a report of 15 students falling ill at an Obama rally.
The jokes just write themselves. Of course, they’ll spin it the other way, such as “his presence is so overpowering, the young ‘uns jes’ couldn’t take it.”

Going to feel the virtual wind in your hair, eh? Puttin’ the top down? Stickin’ the hand out the window to feel the airstream? Gettin’ bugs in your teeth from grinning so big? 😀
#39 SuperDave It seems my erratic cable performance was from my museum model modem. It has been replaced by a sleek, new, improved modem. The cable guy said that it should show an increase in performance, since the old one was showing “noise”. I HOPE that the CHANGE to my new BLACK modem, which looks HIP and is FRESH will… Read more »
I’m getting U-verse this weekend. S’posed to double what I’ve got now.

Got me a new modem today. Vroom, vroooooooom!
A Uniter, that Obummer. Voters Are Much Less Optimistic About Black-White Relations. Perceptions about the state of black-white relations in America have fallen dramatically since the summer of 2009. But voters are still more optimistic about that relationship than they are about relations between whites and Hispanics and between blacks and Hispanics.

And this is a cute idea. I could probably come up with something, just give me time. This does take some thinking outside of the box!

From Breitbart’s “Big Journalism” site: a story about how newspaper editors cover up the dirt on the left. I found the linked Clinton story particularly disturbing. I knew the Clinton’s were sleazy, but what the family is insinuating is downright frightening. And the newspaper wouldn’t cover the story of the murder. And I guess this doesn’t surprise me.

Dang. I’ve gone and lost the page, too. It was a slo-mo video supposedly of a golf ball at high speed hitting a piece of steel. The ball actually f-l-a-t-t-e-n-e-d completely before bouncing back. It was very cool looking.

But it would keep them from inflicting more damage for one whole session. I don’t think we can hold them off for any longer than that. Oh, I agree completely. I just don’t think there’s much chance that it would happen for even a reasonable part of a session unfortunately. About the only way to hit it head on is… Read more »
Furthermore, one has already been addressed by the Constitution, while the Constitution is silent on the other.
Which means that the right to decide remains with the People and the States.
