16 DOOM = Profit!!

17 It is naive to portray the routine police questioning in Delaware as a major sex crime investigation.  The cops refrained from taking the girl down to the precinct so it's basically a non-story.  The much  larger issue is why the press is still pursuing this kerfuffle after two weeks.  There hasn't been perjury to the FBI or any other law enforcement agency. If the coverage of this nonsense continues even through the weekend I'll be surprised.

33 I have it narrowed down to a county. I think we are looking at houses in four different cities.

The location was the hardest part for us.  I don't have a great sense of direction, so basically what I had to do was scout out the houses in advance, including doing drive times for work etc on Google maps, and then go to see the interiors with the realtor.  Really tiring, but it did make it a lot easier (emotionally) to pull the trigger quickly and decisively when we found the right house in the right neighborhood.

Best of luck to you!

49 MSNBC is actually "live blogging" reading Sarah Palin's e-mails. Here's one particularly damning piece that shows just how evil Palin is:

4:27 p.m. AT (8:27 p.m. ET): As the mother of two teens during her time in office, Palin sought some help from her staff in keeping the alcohol in the governor’s mansion away from young people. She wanted it boxed up and “removed from the People’s House,”

50 You get the sense they were really scraping the barrel to come up with that hottest libtard list.  Jill Filipovic is probably the only attractive one, and her eyes are just desperately screaming for a strong, big man to convince her of the error of her ways.  I guess that what happens when you're otherwise surrounded by limpy dicked weiners.

53 speaking of Southern Queens, how is Shep Smith doing these days?

54 All right, I guess I have to show up for this one. We're no closer to a new Death Star, thanks to the profligate ways of my predecessors, and the tight credit environment, and frankly interstellar travel is getting a *bit* expensive, what with gas prices, so I have no excuses.

At some point I'm going to bail to play Oblivion, which I spent all day yesterday and part of the day today reinstalling, troubleshooting, and installing mods. If it doesn't work, I am *seriously* going to force-choke a bitch.

Most people are unaware that jedi (or Sith) mind control works at a distance, if you bother to actually study under a real master, not one of those commonwealth correspondence fakers. Useful with highway patrol. Little-known fact.

Sith are generally fond of Glocks, such as the 17L, seeing as how they're all black and utilitarian and crap. Mind you, I prefer a somewhat bigger bore IYKWIMAITTYD.

Of course, as someone who has carried two glocks and 90 rounds of ammunition concealed (short story I'm not going to tell you), I have to say that Glock video is like sleight-of-hand, only lame. Next time guys, phone it in, it will be better.

I re-watched some Miami Vice lately, and I kept laughing when certain people showed up - like Chris Rock, Wesley Snipes, Laurence Fishburne, Lee Iacocca, Viggo Mortensen, Julia Roberts, Bill Paxton...

It was like a training club for actors or something. Everybody knows about Bruce Willis and all the musicians they had in it. Liam Neeson was an IRA terrorist.

123 Good GOD that top ten list is horrifying.  The most average bunch of bags I've seen.  Go to the mall.  Jesus

BTW Kirsten Powers is number one?  Ok, she's hot all made up on tv.  But I remember her first tv appearances where she wasn't wearing much makeup.

Uhh she looks like the red-headed stepchild everyone knows, but with a wig.
Plus, she's straight up nuts.  On fox and friends on wed (If I remember correctly) she ADMITTED she lied on the Hannity panel about Weiner, because right before she went on, she was on the phone with Weiner asking him what to say..  THATS RIGHT.  Please don't feed the trolls.  especially the ones on tv

The fact she has this gig in the first place means somebody had a good couch interview.  I mean really, how does that happen?  Who gave her this job?  oh thats right, probably Weiner recommended her, as she got the gig while he was banging her.

Explains why she was defending him.  He's still his meal ticket.  haha pathetic

Then you'd know he was kidding around at least.  But you've got to wonder if there isn't a bit of the psychology of liberals and conservatives at play here.  We can think of Conservative media women that are pretty hot, but as for liberals it sort of seems lacking.

Could it be because of their feminist push in their circles.  The women are likely to be jealous of the cute looking liberal girl and despise her for apparently wanting to be appreciated for her looks.  The men are going to loathe to promote them for fear of being accused of only promoting her because of her looks.

Meanwhile conservatives are looking at the women and going "hey she's got the right idea, oh and she's kind of cute too."  So no real jealousy from other conservative women so they'll like her and no fear for the guys because there isn't a stigma in noting that they're hot.

Don't forget that Michael Mann produced it

132 NY Times article: Advertise on NYTimes.com Says He Sent Private Messages to Girl Representative Anthony D. Weiner said on Friday that he had exchanged at least five private messages on Twitter this spring with a 17-year-old Delaware girl who became an admirer of his after hearing him speak during a high school trip to Washington. Mr. Weiner’s spokeswoman, Risa Heller, did not provide copies of the messages, but said they were not inappropriate. “According to Congressman Weiner, his communications with this person were neither explicit nor indecent,” Ms. Heller said. A member of the girl’s family who spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect her identity characterized the messages as “harmless” but expressed concern that Mr. Weiner had communicated privately with the teenager, a high school junior. The family was aware that there had been exchanges between Mr. Weiner and the girl but assumed that all of their conversations had taken place on a public Twitter feed. Then a scandal erupted last month over a photo Mr. Weiner sent of himself in his underwear to a college student. Last week, Mr. Weiner acknowledged that he had sent other explicit photos and messages to at least six women he met over social media. The family member said: “I am angry. This is surreal and unbelievable. It is absolutely crazy. We are just regular people who go to baseball games and basketball games, as ordinary and plain as can be.” In the past few days, the girl and her family have become subjects of intense interest in the news media. On Friday afternoon, the local police arrived at their home and asked the girl and her mother to bring the girl’s phone and computer to the police station so they could be checked to make sure no crime had occurred. The family member said the family complied, and did not expect any further action to be taken. The girl’s contact with Mr. Weiner started in early April, after her trip to Washington. The congressman spoke to her school group, and she began following him on Twitter, posting a public message saying how much she liked his speech. Two days later, Mr. Weiner began following her on Twitter. On her profile, she says she aspires to be president. In a private message he sent to her, he said: “How hip am I talking to a future president.” Delighted that she had heard directly from a congressman, the girl wrote a public post on her Twitter feed: “talking to Rep Weiner from New York right now! is my life real?” At the time, a group of conservatives was monitoring Mr. Weiner’s Twitter activity, after noticing that he was sending messages to a woman from Tennessee. When members of the group saw the girl’s post, suggesting she was engaging in a private conversation with Mr. Weiner, they alerted the congressman that they were watching him. “@RepWeiner new pal is a high school girl. First porn actresses now little girls. Weird.” They also copied the girl on some of the messages they sent to him, so she sent Mr. Weiner a private message telling him that she felt she was being harassed. He apologized to herin a private message, and removed her from the list of people he followed on Twitter. About a month later, Mr. Weiner sent out a public message saying he wanted to attract more followers on Twitter and offered to follow people on his account if they wanted him to. The girl responded to the appeal and posted a public message to him: “Don’t forget me. I used to follow you.” On May 16, he began following the girl again, and over the next 10 days they had three private message exchanges, the family member said. One was about baseball. In another, he replied to a question she had about legislation by jokingly asking for her advice, the family member said. His third message to her was in response to a link she posted to a YouTube video of his giving a speech, with the message: “My true love.” In a blog post on Tumblr, she later shared the contents of that private message from him. In it, Mr. Weiner appeared to liken himself to a superhero. “I came back strong,” he wrote. “Large. Tights and cape. ...” On the Tumblr blog post she added, “My favorite Congressman.”

133 Headline should have been: "Weiner Says He Sent Private Messages to Girl."

And any trailer for The Old Republic is pretty useless if its all video.  You're much better off viewing things that show actual gameplay footage.  Because I don't think their "video" trailers for the game are done with the same engine the game uses.

179 I have that phone, Atrix, decent - didn't spring for all of the docks.  HDMI out of a phone is cool.  Got some quirks, my first andriod - blackberry lost me after 12yrs by trying to force me to use that crappy slider.

180

I'm still annoyed with the attitude of the girl's parents. Like it is all cool that a 46 year old man is privately messaging their high school aged daughter, who is talking about blow jobs and using honey mustard for lube.

That is one effed up household that is "just regular people who go to baseball games and basketball games, as ordinary and plain as can be.”

Unless this is the new normal for Democrats? Which, really is probably true given their pasionate defense of someone like Roman Polanski.

181 188 Y-Not, he was private messaging a 17 year old girl. That fact alone is lethal to him.

You'd like to think so. 

I bet it's even money he survives this.  They've (Team Wee-wee) already contacted his virtual playmates and given them stories to tell.  I bet they're all over the young ones, too.  And those ones (the young ones) will have parents who want this to go away, so they will do everything they can to make this is a big nothing. 

But mostly I was just commenting on the bias in the NYT piece.  The framing of the story so that it seems as if Weiner has been forthcoming in the face of the evil stalking conservatives. 

182 HEH! This is amazing! Look at Adam Price, a Welshman, give this year's commencement address at Harvard! The man is practically an American patriot. Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCY2FKVgqCA Now: watch how uncomfortable the Harvard faculty looks, sitting behind him.

183 Yeah just looked.  The Motorola Atrix 4G with the "laptop" dockstation.  The dockstation is $500 on its own.  Which means just for that price you could almost have gotten that Asus Tablet and its keyboard dock.

184 @Ima I'm not 100% sure. The main point in the link I cited was that this Bill wasn't designed to go after just anyone who said or sent something offensive, but someone who sent an image or message for the purpose of criminal harassment and intimidation. The big thing is that if you search HB300 on Tennesse.gov, the legislature was almost unanimous in voting for it, and given how the legislation is written, and the purpose it was written for, you can understand why they would vote that way, even if the Bill in itself is probably unconstitutional. Of course, that doesn't stop the tech blogs from reporting it as "that evil Republican dominated legislature causing problems for us liberty minded geeks in NY and SF.

188

As a teenager in the 60Â’s, my heroes were Ayn Rand and William F. Buckley.  If you were not a teenager (or older) back then, it might be impossible to understand how unusual that was.  I went to a high school where many “Honors” level students were Leftists; certainly, I was the only outspoken non-Leftist.  My college (in the 70Â’s) was nearly entirely Leftist, and again, I was an outspoken non-Leftist, though with several others on board.  And since, for reasons not worth disclosing, my environment has been Leftist.

The vindication and joy felt with the triumph over Soviet communism, and the seeming contemporaneous global acceptance of free markets, has been completely negated by the dispiriting triumph of Marxism over the values of liberty in all the commanding institutions of America, bizarrely including the otherwise vibrant organs of free enterprise.

Now comes a book by David Mamet.  I am a Sarah Palin lover, and so have an extravagant perspective on contemporary politics.  Integrity, principle, and an understanding of the human condition (intuitive or otherwise) means a lot to me.   After all these years, I am still unsophisticated.  Sarah Palin, to me, is the best person to confront this low dishonest age, given she has the rare fortitude to do it.

David MametÂ’s book The Secret Knowledge is and has everything the critics of Palin believe she lacks.  The best Conservative document in existence is War and Peace, and Mamet perfectly refers to it.  Mamet makes observations about marriage and abortion (for example) Sarah could not make (I assume, because almost nobody could, regardless of intellect), as well as explaining the central cultural enigma of modern America, which is why so many young American men are so screwed up.  He restates amazing insights by Hayek, Sowell and others, less dryly.  He is a playwright, a dramatist, an observer, a moralist who understands the origins of morality - - generations of common sense, a/k/a Conservatism.

There are a thousand wonderful things in this book, things merely pleasurable to read, regardless of the political implications.  Ace could very well have influenced Mamet, because Mamet has a thesis (in some respects) strikingly similar to the original insights of Ace.  Maybe it is a coincidence, maybe not.  This book is so human, so Down To Earth, so delightful (sardonically and pop-up unexpectedly), maybe even Leftists might pause.

But thatÂ’s the rub, brilliantly explained by Mamet.  Leftists do not have the intellectual capacity to understand the subtlety and sophistication of MametÂ’s book.  Read the book to find out why, not that Mamet is crude enough to state it explicitly.  He is deeper than that.

Sarah is the personification of MametÂ’s book.  Who gets it is not the point.  It is just there to get.

Mamet and his book might be a spark, it could be a spark, let's hope it is a spark.  It is an amazing reading experience for the right sort of Conservative.

The big thing is that if you search HB300 on Tennesse.gov, the legislature was almost unanimous in voting for it, and given how the legislation is written, and the purpose it was written for, you can understand why they would vote that way, even if the Bill in itself is probably unconstitutional. Of course, that doesn't stop the tech blogs from reporting it as "that evil Republican dominated legislature causing problems for us liberty minded geeks in NY and SF.

I took it a little bit differently. I think they could skew it to hurt anyone who posted a picture that might be offensive to a random viewer.

Because that's what Gibbs would do.

215 204 Yeah just looked.  The Motorola Atrix 4G with the "laptop" dockstation.  The dockstation is $500 on its own.  Which means just for that price you could almost have gotten that Asus Tablet and its keyboard dock.

Posted by: buzzion at June 10, 2011 11:12 PM (oVQFe)

Yeah.  We looked it up and thought that price for the dock was ridiculous.

... looks like in two years, when my contract's up, they might have a tablet for me.  Joy!

Now to convince them to pair up the tablet with a phone in a two-in-one combo.

Posted by: buzzion at June 10, 2011 11:21 PM (oVQFe)

Non-sequitur.

It looks like that was console, from the slow and imprecise aiming, camera control, and character movement.

I love the Star Wars universe, art, and stories, but over the years the gameplay and user interface has degraded. They got better from like JK2 to JK3, but KOTOR was clumsy and like most new games it looks like this was created for consoles and ported to the PC without taking into account the PCs control capabilities.

Basically it looks (without being able to tell because they yammer about everything but this in the videos) like it was designed for thumbsticks and triggers rather than, say, a mouse (which is precise).

I would definitely want to play a demo first, but I'm not really into "social grinders."

238 @235 That's possible. I can't imagine a Court in Tennessee putting itself in a situation where they would not be focusing on very specific cases and instead just hearing any and every complaint of offense no matter how silly. But the key to me is the sites like Engadget, Ars Artechnica, and Gizmodo, left out the fact that HB 300's main sponsor is Charlie Curtiss (D-TN43), and so the fault lies with him and the legislature of making a dumb decision and not Gov. Haslam or the Tennessee GOP hating freedom. Those blogs sings Obama's praises with any article about him talking about Net Neturality or Free Broadband Internet for everyone.

Okay, "support" may be a strong word.

Definitely need to go low-end on the graphics demands.

Any other older RPGs you never played? Like KOTOR or Neverwinter nights (may still be too demanding on the hardware) or Fallout 1 & 2 (NOT 3), Nox, Diablo 2, Morrowind (look up online tweak guides)...

Search online for "rpg low hardware requirements".

257 I bet it's even money he survives this.

I'd say it's better than even money, much better, because Pelosi is taking a "it's not in my control" position which means she'd like to get rid of and just have the whole thing go away, but she can't get rid of him because the dem base will wet their panties and throw a fit if she does.

I guess it depends on where you buy it.  I got mine at the Navy Exchange and they have a 2 week return policy on electronics so I was able to test it out pretty thoroughly.  Now I just need the apps to start catching up.

334 @Jane D'oh -- so sorry. I know you're struggling to work through the fringes of it, but having done so will eventually help you cope with the loss -- knowing that you'll have done the right and honorable thing even through your grief.

335 So sorry Jane. Prayers to all involved.

336 Alright Rum, I know you are in this video. So how was it?

That was awesome!

Fun fact: When I was about 8 or 9 years old, Merlin chose me to pull the sword out of the stone. (Nothing dirty, morons!) I got a picture with Merlin, a scroll deeming me Princess for the day and a medal. Mickey even bowed to me when I saw him later that day. Sadly they don't do that show anymore.

Well, that's pretty freakin' awesome. 

344 The Sword in the Stone sadly get like no play on TV and I don't even recall hearing about it getting released on DVD or Blu-Ray.

It is on DVD. I've seen it. I don't think I have it though. It wasn't one of my favorite movies, to tell the truth. I barely remember the songs from it. But being able to pull the sword out was really cool. Since they pick two adults to do it first, then a little kid to be the one to pull it out. I don't know when they stopped doing the show - I just noticed I hadn't seen it in years.

345 376 The Black Cauldron and Robin Hood aren't really pushed anymore either.

Disney has done its damnedest to pretend The Black Cauldron never existed.  Took them 13 years to finally put it out on VHS, and then it was sold as kind of a curio for adult collectors.  I'm not sure it ever made it to DVD at all.  Its characters sure as hell never turn up on merchandise or in the parks.

Seems like most of the Disney features from the '60s and '70s are being buried these days.  In the cases of most of them (Robin Hood included) that's just as well.

346 I'm sure if it wasn't for the popularity of the ride and the main Character they would make Dumbo disappear too.  Just because of the Crows.

347 Mickey even bowed to me when I saw him later that day.

Cut. Jib. Newsletter. _{^{(of the mouse)}}

348 And that goes for Sword in the Stone too.  Weird little movie.  A really good animated movie could have been made about the Arthurian legend and Disney of an earlier day might have tackled it, but Sword in the Stone as it was released went to show how little Walt cared about the animation end of his business by the end of his life.

349 The Black Cauldron book was good.  I hate the damn series though, for the way it ended.  Never did see the whole film.  It's on DVD somewhere - I just saw it a couple weeks ago at Target.  Or Wal-Mart.

350 I liked Disney's country and western Robin Hood, or Robin Hee Haw as we call it here.

We just watched it today. My little boy loves it.

351 The Once and Future King is a great little book. Didn't transfer over very well.

Super cool they let Rum in the show before she turned evil and stuff.

352 It's on DVD somewhere - I just saw it a couple weeks ago at Target.  Or Wal-Mart.

I'll have to pick it up for nostalgia's sake.  I saw it when it came out and recall having the shit scared out of me by the head baddie's skeleton army.

$14.99 over at Amazon (not sure what it was at Target - probably similar).  25th Special Anniversary Edition.  (looks like anything else is VHS)

354 I didn't like Robin Hood much or the Jungle Book, either. Or Dumbo. Or 101 Dalmations. Or The Rescuers. I did like the Rescuers Down Under...haven't watched it in years, though.

355 Disney has done its damnedest to pretend The Black Cauldron never existed.

I love the Prydain books. Never did see the Disney movie though - does it follow the books closely?

356 Or Dumbo.

Proving you truly are evil.  Everyone loves Dumbo.

357  Super cool they let Rum in the show before she turned evil and stuff.

I was young then.

I finished season 5 of HIMYM. Now I just need 6 to come out on DVD so I can be fully caught up!

358 Never did see the Disney movie though - does it follow the books closely?

I haven't read the books but from everything I've heard it doesn't.

It's really not a very good movie at all.  Its failure almost killed off Disney's animation division.

359 Especially the LSD parade halfway through the movie.

That's why I didn't like it! Those pink elephants were effing scary! WTF was in the wine he drank? Who hallucinates like that when they're drunk?!

360

I'm going to my mom's, that sort of thing stays home.

But then you miss all the awkward fun when your son starts running around Grandma's house waving it like a lightsaber.

361 I never liked Dumbo either.  And I think I'm on the same boat as Rum for The Rescuers vs. Rescuers Down Under.

362 I watched Dumbo for the first time as an adult with arhooley. I still didn't like that pink elephant part.

Maybe the Mrs. can get you a signed one at the Fox Store when it comes out.

364 Though I'm pretty sure there's a naked lady in the Rescuers.

365 And I think I'm on the same boat as Rum for The Rescuers vs. Rescuers Down Under.

The animation was soooooooo much cleaner in TRDU. I believe, and Undead will know better than me, TR used the Xerox method of creating cells. I think they'd moved on from that by the time they made TRDU.

394 Good...evening?

Showed up for Federal jury duty selection today and managed to stay awake for 27 hours in the process without murdering anyone.  Working nights sucks like that.

The case involved some dude possessing, receiving and transmitting kiddie porn.

Now since all defendants are innocent until proven guilty, had I been chosen to serve (I wasn't) I would have looked at the facts in the most objective manner possible and decided based on the evidence and the law.

But I'm gonna tell you what, I've seen enough To Catch A Predator shows to see that the man was guilty as sin.  I mean he might as well have had teh word "pedophile" tattoed right across his forehead.  This tiny, scrawny, shifty eyed little fuckwad...I'll tell you what, should the gub'mint ever finally decide to give me full authority to decide who lives and dies on a whim, I would have saved all 75 potential jurors the headache, taken the guy out back and shot him in the balls before strangling him to death with piano wire.  Guilty, guilty, guilty.

416 I had a large plush lamb that I would pretend to ride when I was 3 or 4. I named him Lambert after the cartoon. (I think I didn't know Lambert referred to a lion. I just associated Lamb and Lamb.)

417 It's a slow death, buzzion.

Reminds me of Voltaire. Seems that his doctor was nagging him about his lifestyle (sound familiar?).....especially his coffee consumption.

His reply is a classic: "You tell me that coffee is a slow poison. Indeed, it must be so! I have been drinking it these sixty-five years and it hasn't killed me yet."

Paultard. I just don't get Birchers. Very strange vibe from the very few I have actually ever talked to. But, granted, most of those conversations were in the early 80s. I guess from what I have read they (the Birchers) are trying to get a little more mainstream as of late.

Posted by: Mallamutt, RINO President for Life and Killer of Polar Bears at June 11, 2011 02:00 AM (OWjjx)

as for someone who lives by Bircher capital of the world, they fail HARD at trying to go mainstream. Still make the Paultards look sane though they all do carry so they have that going for them

Nice idea, wrong way. You need a fairly sophisticated computer program to translate control of the props (fans) into movement.

It can be done, but you can't keep up with it manually.

Such a computer, on the other hand, could be the size of a large cellphone, redundant, and powered by a backup battery.

With the right software, that could work.
