5 Good morning, fellow morons. Can anyone put me some f'n knowledge here? Why is it, when recovering from a cold, I can feel okay during the day, but when I try to sleep, I run a fever around 100 complete with chills and sweats? Like, I'm looking for the physiological reason. I'm genuinely interested, but Google gives me search overload on this.

6 After Friday noon prayers, massive Egyptian protest called.

Joe Biden says to keep it quiet and questions whether the protesters have any legitimate concerns, because Mubarak's our good guy and is not a dictator and should stay. $1.2 US tax paid billion a year says so.

I guess they really do need to bring this site back.

11 >>>Are you taking Nyquil or something like it? I have found that that stuff does the same thing to me. Nope, au natural right now. Although NyQuil does make me jittery as shit. "We love you, you giant fucking Q."

Egypt shuts down the internet. Remember, President Bow wants a cut off switch too.

14 I used to be a fan of Danny Glover but it seems he has gone bat shit crazy in the last few years.

When are these idiots in Hollywood going to learn that when you go radical on politics you lose a lot of your fan base. I will never spend any more money on a Danny Glover movie.

15 As you get ready for sleep, you go through a number of physiological changes. Most notably, your respiratory drive slows and body temperature drops. Coming off a cold with fever, these can cause the signs you're feeling, sort of a buffer to keep the remnants of the fever going sent out by your hypothalamus.

17 I hope we are pulling our embassy personnel out of Egypt.

18 LibertarianJim, speedy recovery au natural. At night, your body is not refreshed, but worn out --  after resting, you feel better during the day. And when laying flat, your sinuses can't drain as well as when you're up.

 /For the first time, I strictly stuck to the homeopathic remedies my last bout with the respiratory virus, and nerves felt like shit until I didn't by the third day at which point I felt a lot better during the days than I used to feel recuperating with the aid of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals.  Avoid the caffeine so you can rest.  Drink a lot of hot water and the homemade chicken broth, then clear broth chicken/veg soup the first few days while the body fights the infection's temperature. Eat your fresh fruit and include good doses of Vit.C with your massive water intake. Avoid consuming dairy and gluten while the body fights respiratory infections.

20 Mornin' all....Gabe put a straw poll up.  11 names and I still don't know who I'd pick.

21 By any other name, I guess I should say I was au natural last night only. During the day, I took sudafed and tylenol. (And even Ambien didn't put me down the night before.) But this "nighttime fevers- daytime normal" thing is something I noticed when I had the swine flu in 09. Around midnight, I'd get horrible chills and couldn't sleep, but I could sleep all day. And I was pumping myself full of water, grapes, and tylenol. For six days, it was like that.

22 Mornin' all....Gabe put a straw poll up.  11 names and I still don't know who I'd pick.

Where is that poll?

Jan. 28 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. economy accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2010, driven by the biggest gain in consumer spending in more than four years and rising exports.

Gross domestic product climbed at a 3.2 percent annual pace from October through December, falling short of the 3.5 percent median forecast of 85 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News and restrained by the biggest drag from inventories in two decades, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington.

 

I wonder how much twisting of figures they had to do to get that number to 3.2% and how much it will be revised down

What were House Speaker John Boehner and Vice President Joe Biden whispering about during the president's State of the Union Tuesday night?

Yahoo!'s Anna Robertson sat down with Biden Thursday to ask him questions submitted by Yahoo! readers.

"The essence of what I was saying was: 'John we've got a lot of work to do'; 'Did you hear that? That's a good idea the president had right there.' Joking back and forth a little bit about how we had to make things work."

It turns out that their conversation says a lot about their relationship. Biden described Boehner (R-Ohio) as a "good guy" and a "friend," although he joked with Boehner about that, too. "I was kidding John by saying: 'I hope this doesn't hurt you with your Republican friends knowing you and I are friends."

But it's not all jokes, Biden insisted. The Vice President emphasized the importance of working across party lines.

 

I'm sure that simpleton Biden had no idea where he was at and was just babbling like the incoherent idiot that he is. For the last 2 years they just  Dims jammed things down people's throats. And now, after they lost an election, the Dims say it's sooooooo important to work across party lines.

-President Ronald Reagan's Address to the Nation, 28-Jan-1986

Continue to rest in peace, Challenger crew.  You're not forgotten.

Joe Biden isn't an idiot. That assertion is ridiculous, and it shows your ignorance.

 He was one of the smartest and most savvy and most conscientious and most effective politicians in Congress.

Although I don't share their views on political issues, I would extend that complement to Rahm Emanuel, too, both of whom always did the jobs which they were paid to do without shirking any of their responsibilities, and both of whom excelled at every job that they have ever had, too.

Sometimes in life our adversaries are more admirable than our allies are.

This enrages me, because she is using my money to travel the country and spew this shit and she has never been elected to office at all.

Now here is some truly funny shit for all the greenies

“We had a lot of interest in the [Chevrolet] Malibu hybrid when it first came out [in 2008], but we have sold none,” said Scott Urban, general sales manager for Myrtle Beach Chevrolet Cadillac. “We had a lot of interest in the Tahoe hybrid, and have probably sold three in three years.”

hahahahahaha

All of the turmoil in N. Africa, Lebanon and Jordan is a much bigger deal than the coverage it's getting in the MSM.  The markets are taking note though.  This is some sad, dramatic stuff that can easily go in a very bad direction, imo.

52 That sidebar update on Egypt doesn't seem accurate anymore. This report says police were out in force in Cairo today.

Another Gang of 14 deal????

In a gentlemenÂ’s agreement, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, vowed to use the filibuster less in exchange for a promise by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, to allow Republicans more opportunities to offer amendments to legislation.

Deals with Dems always bite us, I don't understand why McConnel needed to make a deal. Doesn't it take 60 votes to change the filibuster rule anyway. The Dems don't have enough backstabbing RINOs now to get 60 votes.

And to have a "Gentlemen's Agreement" don't you first have to have a gentleman?

58

Hey maddog, I'm waiting for you to "bitch slap" me with your, um, snappy come-backs.

I'll check back in a week to see if you've come up with one yet.

63 Bwian, eh!

64 You can be sure that the Obama Administration will fuck-up the situation in Egypt, just as the Carter Administration fucked up the situation in Iran, and just as the Clinton Administration fucked up the situation in the Balkans.  Democrats can not be trusted to protect our country's best interests, certainly not whenever they have to contend with rabble in the Islamic world,  presumably because they are rabble themselves.

70 “We had a lot of interest in the Tahoe hybrid, and have probably sold three in three years.” Okay, Vic, that is priceless. What kind of mental hocus-pocus goes on in that guy's head? He says a model got three sales in three years and yet he says "it got a lot of interest?" I suppose if it didn't sell at all he would call its performance "average."

71

Suffice to say, Circa, you're full of shit. You made up that shit for nothing.

72

You made up that shit for nothing.

Yes, whole cloth.  From the congressional record.  I have that sort of power.  Fear me, genius.

I kinda had a different take on what he was trying to say. I thought he was trying to say that there was a lot of hype and "interest" in the beginning but then that did not turn into sales.

I heard the same thing with the Toyota Prius several years ago (1 sold in 2 years).  What he did not want to say (or the MFM paper did not want to print) was that the greens and liberals talk big but they never act on their talk.

I may be wrong, but that was my take.

76 As always, Waterhouse, your inane come-backs continue to say more about you than they say about me.

Your reverence for the power of Joe Biden's brain says everything anyone needs to know about you.

77 If I have fallen for a sock again....

78 I just had to turn off Fox. Their meme for the Republican House is now "they talked big about cutting the budget but now that they are in power their hands are shaking".

There have been so may proposed huge budget cut plans offered by different Republicans it is pathetic that he comes up with this shit.

79 All you guys responding to Brian realize you are giving him a stiffy don't you.  He is a flamewar troll. he lives and breaths to start trouble on this blog.

Ignore him and maybe he will go away. If not Ace will eventually break out the banhammer. Ace did say a few months ago he was tired of the trouble makers and he banned a few of them.

80 Oh my God that post from "Brian" was the funniest thing I've read all week! How did it even type that without dying of laughter?!?! "Brian," I know the guy personally. Some of my stupid libbie friends are his bestest buddies. Seriously. Oh my God. You are a comedian! You are THE COMEDIAN! Biden's an okay guy, if sort of an entitled jerk. But he's dumb as a rock! ANYWAY . . . seems like a quiet news day, huh? Nothing important going on anywhere important, right? This Egypt thing, no biggie, right? I mean, JOE BIDEN thinks Mubarak is just peachy keen and the protesters are just like our Tea Partiers, and since he's so WISE and all . .

I have a much higher IQ than you.

84 I kinda had a different take on what he was trying to say. I thought he was trying to say that there was a lot of hype and "interest" in the beginning but then that did not turn into sales. Of course. It's just hilarious that anyone can say anything positive about a car that sold three times in three years. The mind of a salesman. Hey, look... New Coke!

85 BTW, why don't Arab dictators go the Chinese route?  Economic freedom with harsh political oppression.

Yeah, what a failure, but at least my money didn't go into supporting new Coke roll-out.

Yahoo! asked Vice President Joe Biden Thursday to give some good advice for the unemployed. He provided a list of recent improvements to the economy, while expressing sympathy for those struggling to get by without a regular income.

"So the message is 'hang in there?'" Yahoo!'s Anna Robertson asked.

"The message is hang in there," he repeated.

"Things are coming back," Biden said, after noting that the unemployment rate is now dropping "minimally," businesses are investing, banks are lending, and companies are gaining confidence.
