Prime Time Thread

I’ll start with a hot potato…the auto companies.I don’t recall where I read it, but there was an excellent case made that if we let the auto companies fend for themselves in all likelyhood one or more will be purchased by China, thereby giving China access to US markets heretofore unavailable to them.The concern there is that by removing the boundary for imports there will be NO (Zero/Nada) business justification for paying US wages to manufacture vehicles, and all manufacturing, even the Toyota plants, etc. will have every incentive to move to South America, if not all the way back to China.So, there’s that.

The only drama queens are those in the MSM!I just happened to think of one of Obama’s most dramatic moments: He was asked about Biden’s comments regarding a crisis soon after election!How fucking dramatic did he get?”Well, Joe’s given to rhetorical flourishes”!Yeah! that’s it! There is NO DRAMA!The MSM is manufacturing the DRAMA!

Wow, this new “typepad” shit does suck!It took me four tries to get that posted!

Kansas, I was gonna respond but I got bumped.I was just saying that we manufacture some pretty good drama around here sometimes.Fuck Typepad, also.

I suggest you all switch to Firefox. Not to rub it in but I’ve never been kicked out in the 8 months that I’ve been sleeping here on Bob’s couch.

I do use Firefox, on top of Debian!

Live Free, I’ll switch back to Firefox when “2-second video glitch” has been fixed, or Sarah Palin stops going on teevee.Or I no longer desire to watch cats flushing toilets and such as.

Firefox makes no difference here. It’s all I use unless I have to do something only IE will do–sometimes videos, especially on CNN. Might as well say Fuck Typepad ahead of time.Fuck FUCK FUCK TYPEPAD. Had to login 3 times. Since I’ve added a sentence maybe more.

Jane,I haven’t used Windows in some time, but the new Flash 10 plays super happy with Firefox in Linux.

Is it my imagination or has anyone else noticed that whenever the economy is going through a particularly rough patch George Foreman rolls out a new weapon of kitchen destruction?

“Fuck FUCK FUCK TYPEPAD. Had to login 3 times. Since I’ve added a sentence maybe more.”Yeah, it blows chunks!

Oh, and fuck TypeKeyPad.

Bob, I can’t take much more. She’s gonna blow soon (speaking of drama). And when she does, FUCKITYS will fall everywhere. Fuckwit Fuckfaces will hit the fucking fan.

try checking your FFX security settings. Fwiw I’m set to accept 3rd party cookies and keep them until they expire. Could be that your browser is tossing Bob’s cookies.(I’ll let you all have your own bit of fun with that one)

“Is it my imagination or has anyone else noticed that whenever the economy is going through a particularly rough patch George Foreman rolls out a new weapon of kitchen destruction?”Good for George! I’m pre-diabetic!

Hadn’t thought about it, Duck, but he is back with a new series of stuff for those who have to have those kinds of stuff. I think I saw my son wipe some drool after watching one of the commercials.

I’ll go look at my settings but I’ll probably end up with cookies from hell along with Bob’s tossed ones. Won’t I? And isn’t that messy?

I can’t watch videos or play chuzzle with Firefox.Auto industry – I still think we should do something drastic like have the gov’t take over at least one of them & retool to leaner, greener cars. It would open up new businesses, not to mention research & development that is owned by the gov’t (us) rather than patented to a company or individual. PLUS – universal health care or an immediate offer for employees to buy into the federal system would ease the burden on the employers to fulfill their obligations to their employees and retirees. What they have now does not work & must be adjusted without screwing over the people who are depending on the contracts & agreements reached before the companies got themselves into this mess.And they need to produce cars that people can afford. $30K, $40K, $50K – most people can’t/won’t spend that on a new car when they don’t know if they’re going to have a paycheck coming in Make a product that provides basic transportation without all the bangs & whistles. People will buy them.But then I’m a leftie liberal rather than a left-leaning centrist.

Ceu, have you gotten your position lined up in the new cabinet? You make perfect sense.and I was already set to take 3rd party cookies so that isn’t it…but nice try.

“your browser is tossing Bob’s cookies.”Not quite. But each time you even change threads now you get bumped out. Opera is a bit better.It all has to do with trying to plug a way fucking serious security hole! Really!It’s so bad it has everyone in IT shitting themselves!

LFOD – does that hold true for IE, too? About the 3rd party cookies? And, if so, do you think it would help if this site was on the list to allow 3rd party cookies?I’m giving it a try to see if it makes a difference.

“you’re browser is tossing Bob’s cookies.”I guess it’s fortunate for the purposes of this discussion that the IT geeks called them “cookies” rather than “salads.”

Who needs another reason to dislike Saxby Chambliss?http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2008/11/videos-saxby-chambliss-turns-election.html

Kansas, a security hole in Fuckpad? Or Firefox?

ceu,You’ve got it old bean!For decades we’ve been trying to play on an international playing field, where we’re handicapped by outdated employment standards!Think what a boon it would be to the “mom-n-pops” to have a national health care plan so they could truly compete with the Lowes and Walmarts, etc!

Cookie cookie cookie starts with “c.”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BovQyphS8kA

Alright then try this…are you set to clear your private data automatically? Shut that off, then turn on the other option (ask me before clearing private data). then open the options and make sure cookies are unchecked. That should keep Bob’s cookies safe…if you wanna toss his salad, that’s your own business Ceu. (eeeeywww)

Better: C for Cookie, a la V for Vendetta:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9rzMaAucI4(Raising the level of political discourse since 7:27 p.m. Bobtime.)

sorry, that salad toss was for Lame Duck

DP, type Fuckpad.

What old book did “give me a cookie” spring from? I remember thinking of it the first time I encountered cookies on a PC. Now I’m old and my brain is lame.LF, will go look. Thanks.Love the C for Vendetta, Jane.

Whew – I thought perhaps I’d typed something that I couldn’t remember…

Some nights it’s a cuddlefest, some nights it’s a salad toss. This is a strange place to wander.

LF: “ask me” was checked. Cookies were unchecked in settings for clearing private data.

This is a test.So far typepad (a truly uninspired name) hasn’t kicked me out again… Maybe my solution worked!! Thanks, LFOD!

Jane, are you telling me to type fuckpad? Or using a variation on fuck typepad? (Am following LFOD’s instructions and you just blew a circuit in my brain).

I’ve been lucky too (and this will break the spell) but I haven’t left this thread. I’ll try going to the main page and coming back.LF, throw any more ideas as you have them. So far my settings were with yours.

I fucking give up. I’m gonna go back to stone carving and an abacus.TYPE fuckkey. KEY padfuck. FUCK fuckfuck. also.Double fuck, I have to repost my indelicate rant!

Testes one, two, three. (Somebody tell me I’m not in junior high and kick me).

It does seem to come in spurts. Now I’m not having them and Jane is. Somebody’s fucking with our heads. BOOOOOBBBB!?!?

Postergeist.

Test. Test.

It appears to be working now.I think TypeWad was debugging? I don’t know.

It’s the cigars. I stepped out and when I came back had to log back in.

We were just discussing your cookies.

booted me, too & I didn’t even have a cigar.

Typewad is coming in and out in spurts. Somebody make it stop. I’m a grownup. This should not be funny.

Speaking as a former cigarette smoker, it was lovely, Ceu.sigh where’s Keith? Again?

>>We were just discussing your cookies.*blush*

Has Krugman chimed in on the Geithner nomination?

try try again…

Yeah, nice “baked goods” there Bob.One time I was refreshing and Circuit City wanted to install a cookie.

Ah, you stepped into the school cafeteria with us, Bob. Welcome.

Ceu, if he isn’t on now or with Rachel I’d be surprised. You always have teevee news ten minutes before the rest of us. Signal must have to travel farther to get down here.

It’s gravity, Jane. We are south of Ceu and so we are downhill. Look at a map on the wall, you’ll see.

No, wait- they hafta slow down the teevee so us southerners can unnerstand.(KO still talks too fast.)

That footage of Bush getting ignored at the photo op was the Moment of Zen the other day.Ewwww the Man Bra from Japan! Paddy linked that video. That skinny guy says “It feels tight. I like it.” Ewwwwwww.

That line “somewhere Rick Santorum’s head just exploded” just needed to be said by KO along with the deranged smile look of his. But Shuster did it pretty well.

Maybe I just watch it quicker than you do.

The FCC is asking the SCOTUS to hear their case against CBS & Janet Jackson’s (gasp) nipple. The fine was, apparently, thrown out by a court & the FCC is pursuing it to the Supremes.Bill Maher is right – this country needs to get laid.

Diana Ross is part of it now?That damned boob is remembered more than the Really Great Super Bowl when my Little Team that Could nearly did, and in the last seconds.

testing (in firefox)…

Wow. I finally got video in Firefox, and now there’s noone to tell.hellooooooo? Typefuck anyone?

I’ve been using Firefox and SeaMonkey on Windows, and various linux distros with no problems ever.

I use IE and the new typepad thingy was fine for me. Plus I use identity cards with Norton to save everything so I don’t have to log in to individual sites anymore.Great vid!

Seamonkey? Now you’re just fucking with me.

alright, i’m not quite sure how diana ross is responsible for jj’s boob or the typefuck thing, but, can’t we just for a moment, go back and make fun of sister sara, just a little?all hail sara,capricious goddess of turkeys,when god shows you a crack in the door, plough thru it. when god grants you the right to pardon or condemn a fellow being on this planet, be it friend or fowl, by all means, plough thru that door with all the rightiousness that you can muster. the gods do not shirk! I HEARBY PARDON THIS TOM TURKEY! as the goddess blathers on about programs that must go on the chopping block,the unpardonned literally go to the chopping block over her left shoulder. there is no redemption without the sacrifice of the innocent! JESUS TAUGHT US THAT! the wolves that lie silent in the shadow of the helicopters that passed over shall not question the goddess. the goddess concentrates on the ones (one) that are saved, not the poor chumps giving it up for the cause, not the poor innocents jerking away their lifeblood in the geeking funnel. were any of these geeks perhaps female turkeys with fertilized eggs in their turkensian fallopian tubes? was this some front for unwed tukey mothers to get rid of their unwanted turklings? OH, MOST FOWL ABORTIONS .DID THE UNBORN INNOCENTS SUFFER?please save us, sister goddess sara

Jane,SeaMonkey is for real:http://www.seamonkey-project.org/I don’t like it!

The security hole I spoke of is at the delivery end of services! It’s been well known since about August. Everyone is shitting themselves a bit over it.The result is lots of changes. I’m currently trying to get Firefox 3.0.4 to work properly on Linux Mint.

Type Key/Pad appears to have answered this with a very short “time-out”.I suggest if you want to type a reply that’s going to take more than 1 minute either type it in your favorite word prog. or copy-n-paste it to your favorite word prog. so you can redo it!It really is all a matter of security!

Prince George was not a good man —And in his latter days,World leaders did not shake his hand,Much to his amaze.At G-20 meetings,When lining up on stage,They whispered of his ruined brand,And did not offer up their hands —They left Prince George a one-man band,Turning gray with age.Prince George was not a good man,And a lame old duck was he.On Oval Office afternoons,No one came round to see.And, round about November,Regulations in his queueMeant as gifts to backers past,Had missed the deadline at the last,The end had come so very fast,And rule of law renewed.Prince George was not a good man,Yet had his hopes and fears.The war he’d launched was endless nowFor years and years and years.But two months before Christmas,While Americans did shout,And happy songs of hope were sungWhile worldwide, bells readied to be rung,George stole away upstairs and hungA bill for fiscal bailing-out.Prince George was not a good man,He liked his long vacations;Alone he planned a new scheme outWhile venting his frustrations.He pushed his team to bargainAnd negotiate in trueWith Maliki and Talabani,To divvy up that oil money,And create from a process quite funnyA legacy for W.“Please fill my coffers,And my new library;I think a tour of speakingWould surely come in handy;I don’t mind oil-stock,And secretive renditions!And I SHOULD like to leave my staffIn permanent positions.And, oh! Father Christmas, for my legacy,Bring me a big, red Iraq war victory!”Prince George was not a good man —Riding fiscal crisis out,He gat him to his ranch again,There to pace and pout.Election night he lay there,Praying hope would lose to fear.“I think McCain’s a-surging now,(Anxiety bedewed his brow.)“He’ll win Ohio, anyhow —Just like I have for years.“Forget about the coffers,And forget about libraries;I’m sure a tour of speakingWould bore me, by my theory;I don’t need oil-stock,I don’t want rendition,And I HAVE put my loyal staffIn permanent positions.But, oh! Father Christmas, if I’m to have a legacy,Bring me a big, red Iraq-war victory!”Prince George was not a good man —Next morning when the sunRose up to tell a waiting worldObama had it won,And people seized each other,And laughed and danced with glee,For hope had many hearts endeared,Change more potent than vile smears,Prince George said grimly: “As I feared,Nothing for my legacy!”“I did want coffers,And a big library;I know a tour of speakingWould’ve come in handy;I do love oil-stock,I did love rendition.I haven’t got a loyal staff —In any old position.And, oh! if Father Christmas cared for my legacy,He would have brought Iraq war victory!”Prince George stood by the window,And there did glumly meetThe happy crowds of boys and girlsCelebrating in the street.A while he stood there watching,And envying them still…When through the window big and redThere hurtled by his royal head,And bounced and fell upon the bed,The Iraqi SOFA bill!AND OH, FATHER CHRISTMAS,YOU’VE ENDED OUR BEREAVEMENT…BY WRINGING AT LAST,FROM OUT OF GEORGE:A STATUS OF FORCESAGREEMENT!

Que Pasa, people , Que Pasa- my favorite opening to a James Brown song. I got on via TypePad on my first try. Beginner’s luck , I guess.

I forgot to include ” Hit me “. With reference to the aforementioned JB song, BOB is getting off ” On The Good Foot ” with his appointments.
