2 Obama's dip in poll numbers for the war is probably due entirely to the lefties at Kos and DU.

This is similar to GWB's big drop when he finally lost the base.

In this case Bambi never had ANY support from the right so he couldn't drop any further there.

If they'd finally use ePub I'd buy one. As it is, I can read ePub on my iTouch as well as "Kindle for iPhone", so I'm not gonna bother to switch.

Converting ePub to the Kindle is moron-level easy, you know.  You email the file to your free kindle address, and Amazon emails the file back to you in moments, good to go on your Kindle.  Costs nothing.

Or you can run your file through Calibre.

I love our three Kindles.

"(4) The Kindle now has PDF support. If they'd finally use ePub I'd buy one. As it is, I can read ePub on my iTouch as well as "Kindle for iPhone", so I'm not gonna bother to switch."

That's right: time to rush over to LGF and click on an Amazon link!  You know you want to!

Oh, and n-word.

16 Or you can run your file through Calibre.

I looooove Calibre.  Seriously, it's super easy to get anything you want converted over to Kindle format.  Plus the new software update lets you switch between portrait and landscape modes so that's cool too.

He is, of course, The Precedent, so what do you expect? I would have rather had a President, myself, but America decided that it was time for national suicide and went for a Precedent. That's how it goes.

The dumbest thing I have ever heard a liberal say, "You know a lot of people are giving Obama a lot of heat for his Nobel Peace Prize but he deverse it for mending foreign realtions."

Now let see whats wrong with that asinining statement.

1. The world still hates us. If they loved us the wouldn't be burning puppets of Obama in effigy in the Middle East.

2. He kissing the ass of our enemies and trying to create realtions with them. If you count starting budding friendships with genocidal dictacors mending forgein realtions then by all means go ahead libs.

3. And finally he telling our allies to go f##k themselves. So much for mending foreign realtions.

Must be nice to live in Liberal world where you never have to grow up and those that don't agree with your ideas are stupid, inbred, racist hicks that can't compread your awesomeness.

If you ever carry more than two books with you on a vacation, it seems pretty attractive.  Not to mention the price and shopping convenience differential between the hardcopy and e-editions of books.  YMMV.

69 Wow.  In math graduate school, an easy program is a 50% failure rate.  Now, "failure" often means leaving with a master's, but that's really a consolation prize.  You can't do much with a math master's other than (1) teach at community college or (2) brag that you have a master's in math.

Which only impresses people who don't know math.

70 Obama's dip in poll numbers for the war is probably due entirely to the lefties at Kos and DU.

I'm going out on a limb a predicting an increase in approval (back up to 50%) once a decision is made but not a huge increase since a)it's not exactly a great decision and he took four months to come to it and b)his strong approval numbers are going to tank and some of the moonbats are going straight to disapprove the moment he says anything other than "We're running away right now."

71 Folks, when Obimbo was running to fulfill his Peter Principle, I said that he would be at best a figurehead, and the Dem power structure would be running things.  This is borne out with Pelosi and Dem activist orgranizations writing the Porkulous, and most other legislation getting written in Congress.

What is going to happen to Dear Reader if the GOP takes back the Congress in 2010, or even just the House?

Pelosi and her ilk will be out of the positions that allowed them to produce policy for His Emptiness.

If such a thing were to happen (yeah, the Senate's a longshot, but we've got a year still), Barry's only power would be the veto pen.

I stand corrected.  (Just another illustration of the vast gulf between the Democrat Harry Truman and the Democrat Barack Obama -- how far that party has fallen!)

74 If the White House is purging its anti-torture guys, that's a good sign because there's a serious conflict of interest problem with some of the justice department that Holder signed on: many of them were lawyers for gitmo detainees and terrorists.

I think every time he says 'unprecedented,' he may mean 'unpresidential.'

79

Clever of O'Bama to run the country into the ground really hard and very early.  They get 1) a big chunk of their garbage passed before the backlash brings it to a halt, and 2) two years later, they get to claim their shit is working when the economy inevitably improves slightly.  (After all, there was nowhere to go but up.)

So, when employment creeps up just a bit, we'll hear all about it from O'Bama and the LWM (left wing media), non stop.  Of course, it will be unprecedented.

80 In math graduate school, an easy program is a 50% failure rate.  Now, "failure" often means leaving with a master's, but that's really a consolation prize.  You can't do much with a math master's other than (1) teach at community college or (2) brag that you have a master's in math.

Tell me about it.  I failed out on the topic I was most interested in at the time and have basically been permanently unemployed since then.  For years it was 'Oh, you're really kind of overqualified for this' and 'Wow, you're smart enough to do my job-we'll get back to you.'  Now it's "Well that's nice but a math degree doesn't really help for this job' and 'Tell us again why you don't have any recent employment history?'  The few places I have worked were temporary (the Census, for example) or now closed.

81 I also want a Nook.  It supports epub.  Plus, most classics are free on Project Gutenberg and/or B&N's ebook library.

The main reasons I want an ereader are (1) travel (I read insanely fast [Deathly Hallows in under three hours], so I can easily finish a book on the plane ride to wherever I'm going, leaving me bookless for the duration) and (2) portability.  I've been meaning to read Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire and Churchill's history of English-speaking peoples, but I don't want to cart around those enormous volumes, I don't have the shelf space, and the library isn't a great solution because that's a lot of book to read in 2 weeks, even for me.  Once I have an ereader, I can load it up with the whole thing.  Problem solved.

82 Now, "failure" often means leaving with a master's, but that's really a consolation prize. You can't do much with a math master's other than (1) teach at community college or (2) brag that you have a master's in math.

Which only impresses people who don't know math.

Posted by: AmishDude at November 25, 2009 05:05 PM (T0NGe)

Very true. The problem is compounded by the fact that master's degrees are considered terminal in many of the soft-sciences and the even more bullshit areas. Academia has really taken a dive with political correctness and affirmative action. Half of the departments in universities are total jokes that wouldn't even warrant a mention in a decent high school.

BTW, as to the decline of America, have you ever seen the GRE scores of intended education grads? The most pathetic scores around. They do even worse in math than the English grads do!

As to law school ... I know some smart lawyers, but I know so many who couldn't reason their way out of a paper bag that it makes sick just thinking about it.

I'd really love to get a glance at The Precedent's LSATs, because I am fairly certain that they are disastrous and embarrassing - judging from the stupid things he says and does just about every single day. ... "profit and earnings ratios" ... he never should have showed his face in public after that; an unbelievable mistake (not a "gaffe") that a normal 8th grader wouldn't make.

He's just too smart for your mind to appreciatize.  Recall that he's a poet as well:

"Under water grottos, caverns/ Filled with apes/ That eat figs./ Stepping on the figs/ That the apes/ Eat, they crunch./ The apes howl, bare/ Their fangs, dance,/ Tumble in the/ Rushing water,/ Musty, wet pelts/ Glistening in the blue.”

 

91 Posted by: Mallamutt at November 25, 2009 05:21 PM (V9SYy)

I hear you (and I don't put much stock in LSATs) but The Precedent is one phenomenally stupid person. I have very serious doubts that he can handle arithmetic with fractions (which is what his "profit and earnings ratios" blather showed). His inability to master the proper use of the indefinite article is another indicator that he probably tests very poorly - with guessing being his only chance.

LOL. The Library of Congress has some funny things to say about The Precedent's "poetry" (I guess any incoherent writing automatically is classified as 'poetry'). Personally, I liked the 'lesser' of his two un-Precedented poems, and this excerpt had some real insight in it:

Listen, open, till I cling to his pale,

Beige T-shirt, yelling,

Yelling in his ears, that hang

With heavy lobes, but heÂ’s still telling

His joke, so I ask why

HeÂ’s so unhappy, to which he replies...

But I donÂ’t care anymore, cause

He took too damn long, and from

Under my seat, I pull out the

Mirror IÂ’ve been saving; IÂ’m laughing,

Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face

To mine, as he grows small,

A spot in my brain, something

That may be squeezed out, like a

Watermelon seed between

Two fingers.

Pop takes another shot, neat,

Points out the same amber

Stain on his shorts that IÂ’ve got on mine, and

Makes me smell his smell, coming

From me;

You picked The Precedent's greater work:

Bloom feels that "Underground" is the better of Obama's two poems, reminiscent of some of D. H. Lawrence's poetry: “I think it is about some sense of chthonic [sic] forces, just as Lawrence frequently is—some sense, not wholly articulated, of something below, trying to break through.” [2]

I think that something 'below' that was 'trying to break through' was the the amber stain ...

While President Obama's poetry displays some signs of talent, by choosing politics over poetry he made, like the other poetry-writing presidents before him, the right career choice. As Bloom notes: “If I had been shown these poems by one of my undergraduates and asked, Shall I go on with it?, I would have rubbed my forehead and said, On the whole, my dear, probably not. Your future is not as a person of letters.“

I love it. The fool says that The Precedent's chicken scratch is reminiscent of some of D. H. Lawrence's poetry but he doesn't see a future in letters.

I often wonder how these people look in the mirror without puking. It is amazing, really.

96 Mallamutt, I'm glad you said that, because I took the LSAT too and only scored slightly above average.  It meant only Tier 4 schools for me if I wanted any kind of scholarship, and the majority of law schools would all have a good laugh at my application before they tossed it in the trash.

I felt stupid and worthless because of it, but now it's more like my attitude is more of gratitude for having dodged a serious bullet there.

97 The "unprecedented" thing doesn't really bother me. The "let me make one thing perfectly clear" line has real chilling Nixonian overtones, though. For those of us old enough to remember.

98 unprecedented - you keep using  that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

99 created or saved - You keep using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

I also want a Nook.  It supports epub.  Plus, most classics are free on Project Gutenberg and/or B&N's ebook library.

Mrs. Peel, Kindle can download the Google Project books(though I don't recommend them- they're badly scanned copies,) the Project Gutenburg books, manybooks.net, feedbooks.com, and the free classics on Amazon.  Plus, Kindle is available for Christmas.

I think the nook is prettier, but Amazon's prices are cheaper.

Whatever ereader you pick, I really think you'll wonder how you ever got along without it, if you're a serious reader.
