Hopefully, this represents the beginning of the end.
Now, get out there and energize yourselves! Obama’s got a job, so he can’t be out there energizing you people, so move it! His supporterette doesn’t get into how going on vacation must be part of his job, since he spends so much time doing that.
How about a slogan contest?

The man is a brilliant politician, has himself positioned where he can still run on hope and change and against the past 11 years. And there is so much more now we hope to change.
Oh and, First!

#4 I listened to about a minute and then had to turn it off. Those people must be brain dead booger eating morons! The first comment by the woman, Gladys in Nevada is accurate, we need to have an election based on the results (wissin disaster) of the first 2 years in office. That anyone denies that we are in much worse shape financially, as a country, than before the foul “O” came in is astounding. Those who make such claims are either liars or idiots and the American Patriots deserve neither.

Mo ElBaradei is a butthead!
Former International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei, who had previously announced his intetions to run for the presidency of Egypt, said Monday that “if Israel attacked Gaza we would declare war against the Zionist regime.”
Gee, no wonder he could never find anything wrong in Iran, Iraq, Afcrappistan, etc. He knows that everyone over there is gearing up for a war with Israel and he did not want to hinder that effort. This basically describes the bulk of the UN.
I don’t recall ElBaradei-hole ever chastising the palestenian-puke-terd-nozzles about launching unguided missiles into civilian areas or gunfire from mosques or rockets launched from moooooslim elementary school playgrounds – do you?
IMHO,the mooooslim brotherhood is behind most, if not all of the “unrest” in the middle east. Mark my words, every place where the “freedom fighters” or protests against the cruel dictator occur and the leader is replaced, you will see an Iranian type mullah-o-cracy complete with hard core sharia law rise up to fill the vacuum.
Combine this scenario with the global financial meltdown and it does not look good for freedom, Capitalism and democracy. The end is near, get right with HIM or suffer real severe consequences. -

No time to chew the fat. Brother’s got the boat in drydock, heading down to Rockport to renew, refurbish and generally get it ready for fishing. Back in 3 or 4 days. I’ll be thinking of y’all while I’m resting in the boat with my feet propped up on the gunwale…………………..not. 🙂

For Obummer to succeed in his reelection campaign, he will need a good set of core issues that will justify a second term from the uneducated voters. I understand that Axelrod is preparing his campaign platform that includes the following “Top Ten” list of objectives for Obummer to read from his “teleprompter” on the campaign trail:
1) To continue his campaign promise of “change” from bad to worse so that more people can become dependent on “Big Government”.
2) To develop some thoughts of his own and not rely solely on his “teleprompter” for ideas.
3) To put Moochelle on a strict diet because what she put on in four years will take another four years to take off.
4) To insure that the American public will be weaned off of their dependence on oil and have them turn to an unknown alternative fuel.
5) To be more transparent in his religious beliefs and reveal his membership in the “Muslim Brotherhood”.
6) To take enough additional vacations so that his children can see all of the “wonders of the world” at the taxpayer’s expense.
7) To use the IRS to enforce Obamacare but have some major exemptions available for all his big contributor friends.
8) To remove the “super power” status from the USA and have a worldwide tour to humblely apologize for this country’s “bullying” tactics.
9) To become the first president to be able to turn “pro” in both golf and basketball after his term in office ends.
10) To somehow change the Constitution so that he can become “President for Life” like those dictators in the Middle East.
Now I know there have got to be other objectives that Obummer has so feel free to add to my list.

#20 SD: Who would a thunk it that where they dump highly radioactive water into the ocean, the fish caught right wissin there would be radioactive??? What are the odds??? Do you think some sensational headline searching terd-nozzle LSM type perhaps put the fishermen up to such a task? Does it even seem reasonable that once the “issue” has been contained that there will be much trace after 1 year in the ocean or fish in the vicinity? Or is THIS more along the lines of what we should expect?

Y’all are making me hungry. And lonely.
For the most part, the ladies I’ve dated locally have either been experiencing the ticking bio-clock, and were looking to start a family (been there done that,) or they are divorced, with kids younger than mine.
I really get on well with a facebook pal. We went to bed together last night, sort of. We listened to the same documentary podcast while going to sleep, got up this AM and started trading messages again. It’s a shame she lives too far away. -

You have to give it to the unions, they know what they want.
Now, via Piece of Work In Progress comes irrefutable evidence that some unions in Wisconsin are so desperate to secure continued dues payments before Scott Walker’s union reform law takes effect that they are more than giving management everything it wants—at least one union actually gave management more than it was asking for—at the expense of its own members.
Apparently they will agree to anything as long as they keep getting their dues.

All this government shutdown talk has the people in DC up in arms.
With the clock ticking towards Friday’s federal budget deadline and President Obama hosting congressional leaders for budget talks at the White House on Tuesday, top administration officials have instructed agency officials to begin sharing details of shutdown contingency plans with top managers. This marks the next step toward both curtailing government operations if a budget impasse occurs and informing federal workers whether they are considered “essential” personnel who would stay on the job despite a shutdown.
How about we take the list of non-essential personnel and their positions and have every single one of them justify exactly why we are paying for something that is not essential.

Now this is a sad statement on government run health care.
A former NHS director died after waiting for nine months for an operation – at her own hospital.
Margaret Hutchon, a former mayor, had been waiting since last June for a follow-up stomach operation at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex.
But her appointments to go under the knife were cancelled four times and she barely regained consciousness after finally having surgery. -

I keep hearing about finger pointing as to who is to blame if the government shuts down. I think they should be trying to figure out who to take credit for doing it – I’d hate to have to vote Dem, but if they were responsible for a government shutdown of any prolonged or extended period of time, I’d sure have to consider it. The best interest of our country would be served if the government would just go away for a while.

Feinstein sez we should just go and arrest Big Mo.
Jim Vicevich catches this suggestion from Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), usually considered one of the clearer Democratic thinkers on national security and the military in Congress. Air strikes haven’t forced Moammar Gaddafi to flee Libya, she told Andrea Mitchell at MSNBC yesterday, but you know what would work? A warrant for his arrest, courtesy of the International Criminal Court. All we need to do is to, er, “go in and arrest him”:
By George, that idea might just be crazy enough to work!
I wonder why nobody else thought of that?

#42: A sad tale of a dysfunctional father. I think his interpretation of Rand’s concept of selfishness was taken to the extreme, for his own selfish benefit. He used objectivism as a cover for his lack of responsibility and an excuse to get out of paying his obligation to his wife. Something that Rand would not have agreed with.
The resulting sympathy for her in the comments I’m sure made her feel better in in role of the eternal victim.
Dear Scissors,
I feel your pain…..no one wants to run with me either.

The courts got this one right. A person is free to hold whatever beliefs they wish in regard to the supernatural, and I deeply respect that right.
But you cross a line when you get in the face of a coworker and insist that they’re going straight to hell because they don’t happen to share your quaint opinions. It’s bad for productivity, a clear violation of the agreed terms of employment, and Wal*Mart had every right to fire the obtuse, bossy, rude, homophobic idiot.

Good afternoon Hamsters. Late to the party on account of enjoying the marvelous weather, starting at 37 by 6:30 this morning. Made it to the upper 60s by 2. Gardening called and I sorta answered for a while.
#20 Super Dave’s Nuclear Sushi. Well not to let the radiation go to waste while it preserves the inedible fish for a bit, just think of how many portable diagnostic x-rays could be taken by putting a film plate behind chests, feet, arms, etc and slapping the fish on the target area. Only a few details to be worked out. Waste not, want not. Can you picture this on Saturday Night Live?
Could also import them to cool the obviously fevered brows of the union leaders in Texanadians’s #30 whereby those leaders with gusto sold out their membership in Sauk County, WI. Mayhap once the membership snaps to what’s happened they might want to stick the fish somewhere else. 🙂 Wisconsin is becoming Belfast. Be interesting to see what transpires today in the supreme court election.

By that video we obviously know there are and probably will always be people who are too dumb to know any better. So based on that video, the campaign slogan might as well be one of these “Top Ten” slogans:
1) The “B.O.” Comes From the “B.S.”
2) Out of Hope, You Get Despair
3) “Change” Doesn’t Come Cheap
4) Need More Dopes to Vote for Hope
5) Aren’t You Better Off Now?
6) We Hoped He Would Change
7) Four More Years of Hoping
8) Somebody Spiked the “Kool-Aid”
9) I Promise a Change for the Worse
10) Hope Is My Only Chance
See if any of these will work for the Obummer campaign.

The UPS dude left a package with me that was addressed to the folks next door. As usual, and being the good neighbor that I am, I promptly delivered it when they got home, but not before noticing the shipper’s name.
I later found that it was a new vibrator that played Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Should I risk disturbing her by asking her to turn it down a bit, or simply step away from their window?

TT, did you get your computer power supply and/or battery charger problem resolved?
-
No, I didn’t. I had to shut down before I could get an answer.
I thought the power supply was an item inside the laptop. Someone yesterday said it was “the thing I plugged into the wall”. I thought that item would be the adapter. I need to know if I can replace the power supply myself without tearing the fabric of space and time. If it matters, the plug (where the power cord plugs into the laptop) has gotten loose over time, and the cord slips off rather easily. Which makes working on the laptop a bit## since if it slips off the computer goes muerto immediately.

If it matters, the plug (where the power cord plugs into the laptop) has gotten loose over time, and the cord slips off rather easily. Which makes working on the laptop a bit## since if it slips off the computer goes muerto immediately. -
Desktop computers have an internal power supply inside the case. Laptops and many small appliances have an external power supply, which usually looks like a little brick on the power cord. Sometimes that is in the middle of the cord, sometimes you have to manage to plug the wissin brick itself into the outlet. You should be able to buy a replacement for your model of computer. They aren’t interchangeable for the most part.
I think that is what you are calling an adapter, and in fact I am on a Dell laptop right this minute and the brick is labelled an AC adapter. As far as I know, this is the item that someone suggested you needed to replace.

Tedtam, I think we’ve may have discussed this before. At a minimum it sounds like you need a new battery, ASAP! If the connection is good enough to run the laptop, it should be good enough to charge up the battery too. There is a small chance that the loose connection may be causing a short that would cause an abrupt power off, even with a good battery.
If the looseness of the connection is in the laptop, you may need more than the AC adapter that goes between it and the wall. If such is the case, and depending on the age of the device, it may be time to think about a new one.
My suggestion (offered with no guarantees) is to try the battery first, and hope for the best.

As I said yesterday, I ordered a new battery, which wouldn’t charge. I sent it back as “defective” – ooops! I have a new battery, which has some charge on it but is not charging up. That’s why I thought it was a problem with the computer. If the power supply is outside the laptop on the cord, that’ll be my next option. If that doesn’t work then I’ll have to work plugged in, very carefully, until I can afford or have to buy a new computer.
Thanks for all the help.

Oh, Bob – it only powers off when the cord slips off. No problems when plugged in.

Do I correctly recall that it’s a Dell? What model? I might have a couple here in my stash.

Good thought, Bob. I may also have some Dell power-supply/adapter thingys in a drawer at work, and if the laptop itself is no longer used, they are considered e-waste. I’ll be at the office tomorrow & I’ll check if you’ll give us a model number.

So I really
wantneed to go bang out some frustration on the keyboards, but find a young person crashed out between the amp and the pool table.It’s my house, and the tubes are getting warm. If he doesn’t like the noise, he can migrate to the couch. Any suggestions for my warm up piece?
I was thinking of doing the finale to the 1812 Overture, but I seem to have misplaced my cannon.

#71 Sadly, a faithful rendition of Bach is beyond my skills. But I do love pipe organs.
#69 I looked up the model of Dell you have, but none of the stuff in my stash seems to match in terms of battery or AC adapter. Sorry…

#69 – Your computer works when plugged into the wall socket but and will run on battery power if you have a charged battery – is this correct?
When you plug your computer into a wall socket, it will run, but if you unplug it, it’s dead – is this correct?
The obvious indications would be that it’s time to replace the battery, but you have done that and it still would not charge – is this correct?
In looking through the Dell site, it looks like the next step would be to download and reinstal your BIOS from the Dell site. Just go to the Dell site and wander around for a while, or type “download BIOS”in the search box and you should get some results.
If it’s a hardware issue, then it’s probably time to look for a replacement. Looking around on your device manager might indicate a problem with hardware.
Also, I have not had much success with clone batteries (I’m not a Dell person) but my experience has been that the manufacturer replacement batteries seem to perform when the look alikes won’t – however, the cost of a new laptop is probably twice the cost of the battery alone. If your battery is over a year old, it’s probably about done.
