Deliver Us From Stuff
2008-07-08 12:30:00 A recent article from the AP Hi-Tech stated that, “A Lehman Brothers analyst downgraded the entertainment industry Monday and slashed forecasts for its five major companies, saying digital downloads of movies and TV shows posed a huge threat to profits from DVD sales that the companies rely on. The stocks of The Walt Disney Co., News ...
Monday Stuff
2008-07-08 04:21:00 The feeling is mutual, Senator McBush (h/t Crooks and Liars)......and it looks like somebody else saw "WALL-E" besides yours truly (minor spoiler alert)......Rachel Maddow pinch hits for K.O. on "Countdown" with more Bush scandals, including ignoring al-Maliki in Iraq to keep our people there, as well as DOJ nonsense and a reconstituted al Qaeda......and by the way, believe it or not, today is the five-year anniversary of the outing of Valerie Plame (my, how time does fly for the cowardly and well-connected).
Saturday Stuff
2008-07-05 15:50:00 It's hard to keep up with all of the screwups (being polite here) by our ruling cabal, so here's a bit of a weekend catch-up post, with Rachel Maddow sitting in for K.O.; one item is the politicization of Justice Department hires and a pending lawsuit over the fact that many were passed over because of their political preference......and by the way, what do you want to declare independence from? Speaking only for myself......I want to declare independence from this guy.
Friday Stuff
2008-07-04 18:42:00 Is it me, or is it somehow appropriate that he has finally, mercifully left us in close proximity to the demise of Bozo The Clown (and by the way, this scurrilous ad, which returned Helms to the U.S. Senate, contains not a word of truth)...Update 1 7/5/08: Hat tip to The Daily Kos for this.Update 2 7/5/08: Ring out the old, ring in the "new," I guess....and K.O. discusses the latest McBush nonsense with Chris Hayes, Washington editor of The Nation.
Thursday Stuff
2008-07-04 04:02:00 Steve Feiffer (sp?) gets into the holiday spirit in California, and the rhesus monkeys need to find a salad bar......and thank God Darcy and her family are OK; click here to help her out (h/t The Daily Kos).(By the way, I believe she is an HTML/XML programmer; the message on her shirt is computer code for ending the war.)
The Appropriately But Not So Concisely Named Post About A Lot Of Stuff ? Ho
2008-07-04 01:56:00 So much on the plate mentally speaking, thought wise and idea centric (what?) that I?m just going to start typing again and hope it all comes out in a somewhat cohesive and readable way. And the answer is yes, this is the same way I normally feel and act on Christmas Eve in anticipation of Christmas. So, this being 4th of July Eve, I am all a-flutter with ideas to share and anticipation to, uh, anticipate?First off, I need to apologize to all of you for forgetting that July 2nd was Mullet Day. While I do not have a mullet, I feel it?s my responsibility to share such a holiday with you. Is it because I might be the least bit tempted to make 101 mullet jokes and puns? Quite possibly. Just promise me you will accept my apology for letting you down by inadvertently forgetting such a potentially great fake holiday.However, I did not forget to tell you that today is Air Conditioning Day. I?m not sure if July 3rd has been researched and found as statistically being the most-used indoor coo...
Wednesday Stuff
2008-07-03 04:03:00 200 days to go, people (ostensibly, a bit of humor)...Bush Tours America To Survey Damage Caused By His Disastrous Presidency...OMIGOD! The "Terrorist Fist Jab" didn't start with Obama!!......Sy Hersh talks to Candy Crowley of CNN about Bushco's shenanigans inside Iran (Hersh has been "crying wolf" as far as some are concerned about Iran, but he's a pro, and he's credible, and I don't want anything more to "hit the fan" than what already has)...Update 7/3/08: I'd expect this from Dana Bash, not Dana Priest....and more "Worst Persons" from K.O. (the Kings County story is awful and Turd Blossom is lying as usual, and BMW Direct too; channeling Zero Mostel/Nathan Lane? "If you've got it baby, flaunt it!" - tired of screwing around with MSNBC's videos).
The Religion of Stuff
2008-07-02 03:03:00 This is apparently a new video of Dr. James Hansen, discussing climate change, politics, energy and China. What causes climate change is not today’s emmissions, it’s today atmospheric composition, and we are primarily responsble for the excess C02 in the atmosphere, more the 3 times more then China, per capita basis, more then an order of ...
Tuesday Stuff
2008-07-02 02:13:00 "The Pap Attack" tells us all about the PNAC crowd, the "pay no price, bear no burden" bunch......Sweet Mother of Abraham Lincoln! First Satullo "finds the nut" - and now Smerky too??!! Kudos to him, actually (now wait for the "other shoe to drop")......and by the way, Crooks and Liars tells us here that the Federal Marriage Amendment, which of course would ban gay marriage (an amendment I don't support, by the way - call me whatever names you want, within reason) was reintroduced this week; that's ridiculous enough, but two of the original sponsors were "Diaper Dave" Vitter and Larry Craig, so with that in mind, here's a "tribute" to Senator Wide Stance, who gets a mention in this spoof of Baba Wawa's book (long setup, I know)......and this has been cracking me up all day (h/t Avedon Carol)......and finally, how awesome is Russ Feingold anyway (h/t The Daily Kos).
Thinking The Lions, The Bad Touch, and other stuff...
2008-07-01 18:19:00 When you're all caught up on the stories here, and waiting for the next installment of pure terror, why not take a break and read some of my other work? You could read Thinking The Lions find out how my vacation to Orlando went -- and answer the question about whether airport security allows Oreos or not. Or maybe you'd rather give some thought to how civilization collapsed because of Prince and George Michael, and how we can't rebuild it because of "The Bad Touch." Want to know what all that means? Read The Best of Everything. Can Denver Broncos fans read? I'm not so sure. Nonsportsmanlike Conduct! investigates and counts down to football season.
Neat Stuff -- And I'm Not Horsing Around! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) (And
2008-07-01 17:31:00 I see from the news today that more and more people are taking to horseback riding as an alternative to paying high gas prices (or maybe a protest to paying high gas prices?)Those people, along with any other horse owners, and all cowboys, are going to need Horse Accessories to go along with their lifestyle. No self-respecting horse owner can ride around without the accoutrements (oooh, fancy word!) necessary to show how much he or she loves horses.Accessories Unleashed is there for you. They've got all the gear you could ever want to show how much you love your horse. Personalized towels and bags with your horse's picture on it? Got 'em. Earrings or zipper chain in the shape of a horse? Check. Protest gas prices in style and show your horse how much you appreciate it, while making a bold fashion statement of your own!
Abhi-Ash on a film they admired last year, and other stuff (Video)

Monday Stuff
2008-06-23 23:04:00 This "Pap Attack" should be required viewing for anyone blaming the Democrats for the price of gas (you can blame the Dems for a lot, but not this)......and hey, check this out (wow, between Charlie Black saying another terrorist attack will help "Senator Honor And Virtue" here and this, John W. McBush is having one hell of a day - so, what exactly is it that Michelle Obama is supposed to apologize for again?)......K.O. brings us Monica Crowley, the "Worst Person In The World" (OMG! Obama's a SCARY MUSLIM!!)......and once more paying tribute to George Carlin, the AP put together this nice little video.
Non-FISA Sunday Stuff
2008-06-22 22:33:00 Don't blame the people working at the Quickie Mart for the high price of gas, OK? Blame the Repugs who have fought funding for alternative energy (through H.R. 6049) and repeal of tax breaks for the Chevrons and ExxonMobils of the world, OK?...Update 6/23/08: I should have noted that I learned about H.R. 6049 from Tom Friedman's column today in the NYT....and The Onion catalogues another "failure of big government."
Sunday Stuff
2008-06-22 21:26:00 I'm replaying K.O.'s Special Comment on FISA from last February just to remind those in the Senate who are hesitant about the stakes concerning the issue of telco immunity (the House has already done its worst - and by the way, I'm thinking of having T-shirts like the ones Keith describes made for Patrick Murphy, Joe Sestak and every other "Democrat" who voted to sell us out last Friday; sorry the audio is a little off).(And by the way, for anyone wondering why we care so much about this, Hunter at The Daily Kos sums it up pretty well here.)And I should have embedded this Keith Olbermann interview with Jonathan Turley last Friday before now, but there you are (I was so mad about FISA I forgot that they chose to fund the war without timelines for troop withdrawal again).
Thursday Stuff
2008-06-19 22:18:00 Yes I'm partial, but I still think this ad is outstanding......Bill Moyers asks, "just who is waging this class war?" We know the answer, but this is still solid reporting......and in case anyone thought Dennis Kucinich was going to go away......and I love the Murdoch riff from K.O. (arrrgghhh!), but I sincerely hope I never encounter Paula Froelich or a life form of her type, assuming such species can be found anywhere except a petri dish or the bottom of a garbage can.

Graner and England took the fall, as they should have, but I don't see anybody else in the slam!......I see that New Hampshire Repug Senator John Sununu just...can't...let...go of that lie concerning China supposedly drilling for oil off our shores either (what a maroon - and you KNOW it's bad when Mel Martinez is actually the voice of reason)......time to boogie on down with the Ted Stevens ("It's A Series Of Tubes") techno remix (and by the way, to help Mark Begich to put ol' Ted out to pasture for good, click here; h/t for these first two - but not the Dubya one - to The Daily Kos)......and MSNBC videos have been giving me fits all week, but I'm going to try again (stubborn, I guess); here's K.O.'s "Worst" from yesterday (Issa threatened Henry Waxman once too, remember - what a reptile)....and here's on...

The Keep-a-Cable attaches to the edge of your desk and holds onto and organizes your loose cables.

More Baby Stuff
2008-06-09 10:29:00 Yesterday Miguel and I went to a few yard sales part of a community effort in Downey. We stopped at as many as we could to get baby stuff we needed. We managed to buy a bunch of clothes for under $20 and a swing for $30. Quite a deal. I also got a VHS video about yoga during pregnancy. not sure when I will get into it though. We even ate tacos and drank lemonade at one of the yard sales. We did not get to go out like I thought we would. Not even to go to Target to check out the glass baby bottles they have. We did at least wash a load of clothes and I made some Fettuccine Alfredo. And now I finally figure that I get more done while Miguel is at work. Today I went shopping with my sister Lena at Rite Aid. I got a box of Kleenex (cuz I used up the last of it last night drying my tears), an energy saving lgiht bulb (since the last one mysteriously burned out), an air freshener (because the last one just did not last long enough), and a 2 Liter bottle of Sunkist for $1, just for Lena....
Even More Stuff
2008-06-08 23:57:00 After golf last week, I went to see Billy Connolly in the Olympia in Dublin. It was pretty good. Some old jokes but all in all very entertaining.Then on Friday we went to see Radiohead in Malahide Castle. It was absolutely fantastic. It is a great location. We just hopped on the DART and 20 minutes later we are in Malahide. About a 10 minute walk and we are in the grounds and ready for the gig.The grounds were huge and there was loads of space to relax and enjoy the gig. They played a wonderful gig, I would pay to see them again tomorrow.Then we walked out hopped on a DART and 20 minutes later we were back in the city centre.

Incredible Free Stuff for Your Cell Phone
2008-06-07 23:13:00 There was an article in this past Thursday's New York Times about several free cell phone services that recently have been introduced. Dial 800-GOOG-411 and get free business listing information, instead of being charged $1.50 when just dialing 411 on your cell phone. Dial 800 FREE411 to get residential listings. More amazing is the service you access by dialing 800 2CHACHA, where you ask any question (from who was the 34th President of the United States to airport departure times out of Kennedy Airport), and you get the answer texted directly to your cell phone by a real live person who has done the research, for free. No ads at this time, but I'm sure that at some point they will figure out a way to make money on this service.
