Pete, since you my bitch, I'll delegate that duty to you. I've got better things to do...like walk down the hall and get another cup of turbojava.

You know, I will enjoy all the weeping when we finally figure out that we have to pay off this huge deficit. Wait a minute...no I won't, I've gotta pay that too! There's one "x-factor" that all these polls don't account for and that is this: People who are truly pissed off with the current administration are more likely to turn out for the vote than those happy with the status quo. So a poll that says "xyz percent of registered voters would vote thus" is practically worthless when you consider that turnout in many states is well under 50% of those registered. You also might remember that McCain won New Hampshire in the Republican primary in 2000. New Hampshire is a beautiful state, but doesn't amount to shit in the election, too few electoral votes. A very, very few states will decide the next election, because they are the only ones "up for grabs". States that will matter are states like PA, MI, NM, FL where the outcome is very uncertain. Probably a good 40-45 states are the big "so what" because we already know which way they will go.

Breakfast every morning for 3 months in 2000. For 6 weeks in 2002. Usually half pieces of toast, half eaten order eggs, half bowl oatmeal, half of a half-stack pancakes. Occasionally a full piece of fruit. Usually took about 30 minutes to get enough grub for a meal. Best time to show up was right after the morning rush when the busboys couldn't keep up. The plop down at dirty table with grub you want and dig in. Always free coffee (bring a mug) . Didn't scark much lunch/dinner but smoked out a Degnan's worker summer 2000 and kept getting "whoops I made an extra" sandwiches for free when he was working. Scored a whole pizza at the deli when some lady's kid fell and busted his noggin open. She grabbed the kids, grabbed the sodas, and ran off leaving the pie on the table....better for us to eat it than the

Bill O'Reilly...A Role model for journalists
willstrickland replied to willstrickland's topic in Spray
The Truth About The Peabody Award(s) In February, O'Reilly gave a speech seemingly taking credit for winning a coveted Peabody award while an anchor at the tabloid TV show Inside Edition. After comedian Al Franken pointed out that the show never won a Peabody, O'Reilly retorted, in Mamet-esque syntax (O'Reilly Factor, 3/13/01): "Guy says about me, couple of weeks ago, 'O'Reilly said he won a Peabody Award.' Never said it. You can't find a transcript where I said it." Note From The Webmaster: Because they edited it out of the transcript. On a recent O'Reilly Factor show I personally saw O'Reilly tell a radio talk shot host who dared to dis-agree with Bill and say he was not a real journalist tell him that he would put his " peabody " and his journalist degrees up against his credentials any time. This was around 6-1-01, I forget the exact date but remember it clearly. The guest was Bernie Ward from a KGO radio talk show who was talking about gary condit and the 24/7 news coverage of him on fox news. Neither Inside Edition nor Bill O'Reilly ever won a peabody award. You can look it up here - Peabody Awards Site: www.peabody-awards.com THE SPIN On his May 19, 2000 broadcast, he repeatedly told a guest who brought up his tabloid past: "We won Peabody Awards. . . . We won Peabody awards. . . . A program that wins a Peabody Award, the highest award in journalism, and you're going to denigrate it?" THE FACTS (Inside Edition won a Polk Award, not the better-known Peabody, for reporting that was done after O'Reilly left the show--Washington Post, 3/1/01.)

Bill O'Reilly...A Role model for journalists
willstrickland replied to willstrickland's topic in Spray
A couple more tidbits about Mr. O'Reilly: Claimed to be an independent until another media source published records of his being a registered Republican. Falesly claimed to be a Peabody Award winner. Again was debunked by another media outlet. -
Here's the transcript I referred to earlier. O'REILLY: In the "Personal Stories" segment tonight, we were surprised to find out than an American who lost his father in the World Trade Center attack had signed an anti-war advertisement that accused the USA itself of terrorism. The offending passage read, "We too watched with shock the horrific events of September 11... we too mourned the thousands of innocent dead and shook our heads at the terrible scenes of carnage -- even as we recalled similar scenes in Baghdad, Panama City, and a generation ago, Vietnam." With us now is Jeremy Glick, whose father, Barry, was a Port Authority worker at the Trade Center. Mr. Glick is a co-author of the book "Another World is Possible." I'm surprised you signed this. You were the only one of all of the families who signed... JEREMY GLICK: Well, actually, that's not true. O'REILLY: Who signed the advertisement? GLICK: Peaceful Tomorrow, which represents 9/11 families, were also involved. O'REILLY: Hold it, hold it, hold it, Jeremy. You're the only one who signed this advertisement. GLICK: As an individual. O'REILLY: Yes, as -- with your name. You were the only one. I was surprised, and the reason I was surprised is that this ad equates the United States with the terrorists. And I was offended by that. GLICK: Well, you say -- I remember earlier you said it was a moral equivalency, and it's actually a material equivalency. And just to back up for a second about your surprise, I'm actually shocked that you're surprised. If you think about it, our current president, who I feel and many feel is in this position illegitimately by neglecting the voices of Afro- Americans in the Florida coup, which, actually, somebody got impeached for during the Reconstruction period -- Our current president now inherited a legacy from his father and inherited a political legacy that's responsible for training militarily, economically, and situating geopolitically the parties involved in the alleged assassination and the murder of my father and countless of thousands of others. So I don't see why it's surprising... O'REILLY: All right. Now let me stop you here. So... GLICK: ... for you to think that I would come back and want to support... O'REILLY: It is surprising, and I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why it's surprising. GLICK: ... escalating... O'REILLY: You are mouthing a far left position that is a marginal position in this society, which you're entitled to. GLICK: It's marginal -- right. O'REILLY: You're entitled to it, all right, but you're -- you see, even -- I'm sure your beliefs are sincere, but what upsets me is I don't think your father would be approving of this. GLICK: Well, actually, my father thought that Bush's presidency was illegitimate. O'REILLY: Maybe he did, but... GLICK: I also didn't think that Bush... O'REILLY: ... I don't think he'd be equating this country as a terrorist nation as you are. GLICK: Well, I wasn't saying that it was necessarily like that. O'REILLY: Yes, you are. You signed... GLICK: What I'm saying is... O'REILLY: ... this, and that absolutely said that. GLICK: ... is that in -- six months before the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan, starting in the Carter administration and continuing and escalating while Bush's father was head of the CIA, we recruited a hundred thousand radical mujahadeens to combat a democratic government in Afghanistan, the Turaki government. O'REILLY: All right. I don't want to... GLICK: Maybe... O'REILLY: I don't want to debate world politics with you. GLICK: Well, why not? This is about world politics. O'REILLY: Because, No. 1, I don't really care what you think. GLICK: Well, OK. O'REILLY: You're -- I want to... GLICK: But you do care because you... O'REILLY: No, no. Look... GLICK: The reason why you care is because you evoke 9/11... O'REILLY: Here's why I care. GLICK: ... to rationalize... O'REILLY: Here's why I care... GLICK: Let me finish. You evoke 9/11 to rationalize everything from domestic plunder to imperialistic aggression worldwide. O'REILLY: OK. That's a bunch... GLICK: You evoke sympathy with the 9/11 families. O'REILLY: That's a bunch of crap. I've done more for the 9/11 families by their own admission -- I've done more for them than you will ever hope to do. GLICK: OK. O'REILLY: So you keep your mouth shut when you sit here exploiting those people. GLICK: Well, you're not representing me. You're not representing me. O'REILLY: And I'd never represent you. You know why? GLICK: Why? O'REILLY: Because you have a warped view of this world and a warped view of this country. GLICK: Well, explain that. Let me give you an example of a parallel... O'REILLY: No, I'm not going to debate this with you, all right. GLICK: Well, let me give you an example of parallel experience. On September 14... O'REILLY: No, no. Here's -- here's the... GLICK: On September 14... O'REILLY: Here's the record. GLICK: OK. O'REILLY: All right. You didn't support the action against Afghanistan to remove the Taliban. You were against it, OK. GLICK: Why would I want to brutalize and further punish the people in Afghanistan... O'REILLY: Who killed your father! GLICK: The people in Afghanistan... O'REILLY: Who killed your father. GLICK: ... didn't kill my father. O'REILLY: Sure they did. The al Qaeda people were trained there. GLICK: The al Qaeda people? What about the Afghan people? O'REILLY: See, I'm more angry about it than you are! GLICK: So what about George Bush? O'REILLY: What about George Bush? He had nothing to do with it. GLICK: The director -- senior as director of the CIA. O'REILLY: He had nothing to do with it. GLICK: So the people that trained a hundred thousand Mujahadeen who were... O'REILLY: Man, I hope your mom isn't watching this. GLICK: Well, I hope she is. O'REILLY: I hope your mother is not watching this because you -- that's it. I'm not going to say anymore. GLICK: OK. O'REILLY: In respect for your father... GLICK: On September 14, do you want to know what I'm doing? O'REILLY: Shut up. Shut up. GLICK: Oh, please don't tell me to shut up. O'REILLY: As respect -- as respect -- in respect for your father, who was a Port Authority worker, a fine American, who got killed unnecessarily by barbarians... GLICK: By radical extremists who were trained by this government... O'REILLY: Out of respect for him... GLICK: ... not the people of America. O'REILLY: ... I'm not going to... GLICK: ... The people of the ruling class, the small minority. O'REILLY: Cut his mic. I'm not going to dress you down anymore, out of respect for your father. We will be back in a moment with more of THE FACTOR. GLICK: That means we're done? O'REILLY: We're done. OnAIR breaks to commerical, during commerical: O'REILLY: Get outta here. Get outta my studio before I tear you to fucking pieces.

The New Yorker (I think, could have been Harpers or The Atlantic) published an excerpt of a transcript between O'Reilly and a guest, including some of the footage that didn't appear on the air. This was probably six months ago and O'Reilly basically threatened the guy...like "I'm going to kick your ass you filthy little..." kind of threatened (that's not a quote, just an approximation, someone with a New Yorker subscription might be able to post the actual verbage). Typical O'Reilly: "You're wrong counselor. I know you're wrong and you know you're wrong. End of story." What's really funny is that he used to be a reporter for Inside Edition...the fucking tabloid TV show . Pretty much destroys his credibility in my book. Hannity is the same way. He's like the ex-football jock who's now trying to fool everyone into thinking he's a politcal brain...please! He's a right wing sychophant party-line, ass kisser. Typical Hannity "Good evening General Chumpwad, sir. Always nice to have you on the show my friend" That Shepherd Smith character kills me, the "G Block". Whateva you fuckin whitebread tool. OG rollin in his Brooks Bros suits. I swear, the times I get around a TV (don't own one myself) FoxNews is the best comedy show on. Much better than South Park mmmkay!

Oops! Sorry Minx. Don't ban me yet, I'll try again... Timmy O'Neill rocks! He's funny as shit, go see his show because you won't be dissapointed! Props to Gary for his work. Some posts got deleted somewhere because I put the snaffle pic in as a pagetop, where it sat for a couple of days.

Woman hater! Little Napolean there might need some help from the blue meanine (I heard some middle aged lady on a talk radio show call Viagra that one time ). Hell, Rafael Palmiero uses it and he's sportin enough wood to smack 500 homers. I actually found that the PNW is full of hotties. They're just covered up in sweaters and rainjackets all the time so you don't notice it as much. But, I dont' go for the plastic barbie look that pervades the eastcoast either so maybe that's it. They should really call SoCal and Florida "Silicone Alley". I'm a selective misogynist. I only hate bitchy drama queen gold-digger yuppie republican women

Trask man I was doing the same things from about 12 onward (different species though, more like squirrel,deer, quail, turkey, wild hogs, and wild dogs). But from 6-10yrs old video games RULED. And during the winter too...skiiing in GA my friend. We had a small clays range behind the garden. Trap and skeet, were fun in the winter, kill a couple boxes of shell, retire inside for some hot chocolate and fruit rollups by the fireplace.

I tell ya what sucks...trying to download a 100mb OS update pkg with dial-up ISP that gives me about 5-7k/s. Put that thing on and go to bed, hopefully I won't have one of these radom "The modem has unexpectedly hungup" I've been getting. WTF is that all about? I don't have the "disconnect if idle for xx minutes" setting turned on either. Speaking of sleep...that's where I'm going.

Yeah, it WAS Dragon Quest...fuckin bullshit is what they should have called it! Kung Fu was cool. I remember playing some weird game on the apple IIE where you were wandering around Hitler's bunker it was like a primitive version of Doom and if you got far enough you could see Hitler, but we never figured out how to get in there and wax his ass.

YEAH!!! Was based on some Disney flick that had just come out or something, this young medieval prince guy with a sword, you couldn't control shit in that game.

You know, security issue must be site specific in this case...other secure servers aren't giving me probs. No little "lock" icon to show a secure site either huh?

Hell yeah, DOUBLE DRAGON!! That's the one.

then give up the beta Foo! What's with the tabbing and security certif things? won't allow a bypass either...hit continue and it kicks out the same msg.

GALAGA baby! Best game ever made. All time fave. Centipede was cool, Tempest was fun. But nothing could touch Galaga. the original Mortal Combat, Punch Out was fun and this other game I forget the name of where you could play as team of 2 and were basically just kickin ass in street fights..might have even been called street fighter. You could kick someone's ass and take their weapon...a chain was one of them I remember.

Running 1.0 v85, just downloaded it yesterday on software updates...I'd have thought it would be the most recent. Also having some issues with security certificates...tried the fix that apple recommended by adjusting the date/time to be right, but that didn't solve it. Could be the specific site. I was also wondering why you can't tab to buttons like on other browsers...my Win machine always tabs to buttons, Exp 5.2 on my Mac tabs to some of them, and safari doesn't tab to any I've found yet. Just jumps to another field somewhere...and example is like the login here or on hotmail or something. enter name, hit tab, enter passwd, hit tab...normally should highlight "enter" button...doesn't do it. The browser is pretty slick otherwise, I don't want to can it for some minor stuff like these issues.

I think slippers might be one of the most resole friendly shoes. I say this because on a stiff shoe, you're going to lose some of the midsole..and hence performace, with each resole due to the removal process. On a slipper, you've got no stiffness issue, as long as the resoler doesn't rip through the leather on the bottom, you're golden. I had a pair of Vipers resoled 3 times and if they didn't have big 'ol holes in the tops they would still be my favorite shoe.
