Stephanie: Headline News, yes! CNBC, yes! CNN, yes! The Ed Show, yes!
The last time Steph said “yes” to this many TV people in a 4-day period, she was negotiating for her 1995 late night show.
Goooood morning everyone!
Geez, Mama was really whoring herself out this weekend, eh?
Like an idiot I found myself up at 2AM this morning calling into a radio talk show about the DTV debacle. I found it really surprising that none of the stations around here made any attempt to mention the historical significance of the event, just either unceremoniously cut the signal or went to the “nightlight”, even the stations that have been around for 60 years. Most in our area can’t get the NBC affiliate because they have to pull out the old transmitter before they can install the new one in its place. Sounds like good planning there, chief. As I listened to the radio this morning, I heard many complaining that their TV radios (the ones that get AM, FM and TV audio) no longer work, and there’s no digital equivalent on the market (these people are blind so would have no need to plunk down $$$ for a new set and a converter would be way too much of a pain to deal with). Again, nice planning FCC, kudos – you bleeped up AM, FM, VHF & UHF. What’s left?
Congrats on the Lakers winning, Mama & the Mooks. Too bad in every city there are the idiots that think it’s a good excuse to try to burn the city down.
I should add that there’s nothing better than seeing Mama’s beautiful smile coming out of the TeeVee machine.
“DO ME A FAVOR. OPEN THE DOOR. AND LETTERMAN”.
the “fifteen minutes” of fame which andy warhol cynically predicted would be doled out to just anybody, has come to fruition. worse, it is packaged as often as not in a 2-stroke self-reinforcing vortex of both cluelessness and arrogance. dubya, it turns out, was not alone in the singular fascination with maintaining public facetime for the sake of public facetime. unable to distinguish between time spent on television, and providing substance for a personal legacy, dubya was, once we understand the abject release from expectations of accomplishment, understandably obsessed with milking the fifteen minutes into an interminable march. – and so went the path of palin, and soon thereafter, so went the path of carrie prejean. and it gets even worse. a talking head named michele malkin has been obediently yapping for scraps in the slipstream of palin’s latest attempt at public folly, and it leaves one sort of appreciating the appeal of carrie prejean by comparison. fair warning: this creature is repulsive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98pCkmZY6vI – well, i warned you. desperation is not pretty. – and what sparked this renewed opportunism for attention anyway? – david letterman told a joke at the expense of a baseball player who presumably is not at all selective about hooking-up. as of june 15, there is no conspicuous public indication that the baseball player was upset about this. palin’s best move of course, would some swift and public statements of contrition for exploiting the children in this latest attempt to milk the fifteen minutes. – who has the stopwatch ? – let’s see how long it takes palin to find some such statements and bring em to ya.
you must forgive the architects of tv for forgetting that there was anything historical in this latest footnote to the demise of television. remember, these are such people as those who tried to foist “HOT L BALTIMORE” and “THE MONTEFUSCOS” upon the public. – fortunately, the ratings were so bad that they were each cancelled after about 11 minutes.

I was checking the youtubes for people posting videos of stations shutting down and quite a few did have a ceremony where the chief engineer (usually a guy who’s been there since the first day) hit the switch and immediately the video went to snow.
One of the Philadelphia stations shut down with the test pattern they used when they first started test transmissions back in the 30’s. So at least there are a few with a sense of history.
I think the major reason there was no fanfare here in MA is that none of them wanted to bring up the fact that they used to be affiliated with another network. God forbid the competition gets mentioned.
Made the mistake of going to the mall outside Gillette Stadium yesterday. Had no idea they had American Idull tryouts. Thousands of idiots there. At least they got soaked $20 for parking for the priviledge. Good.
6: good point on the weird avoidance of mentioning the “competition”. – when there were 3 networks, johnny carson’s guests sometimes had shows on “another network”. if the viewer wanted to know which one, let them hire their own darned private detective.
7: the irony is delicious. – a rabbit retreating from a bunch of pilgrims in search of “sangraal”.
(and did you notice who launched the blog ?) – there are those who call him ….
“TIM”.
Good morning, Tim, trojanrabbit, flombaye and the rest of the Live Blog gang. Good morning, Team Steph. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
The whole NTSC-to-DTV transition points out just how little the masses are paying attention to their television machines. For example, over this past week, the Digital TV Hotline got nearly 800,000 calls (the FCC said that about 317,450 calls went into the help line, 1-888-CALL-FCC, on Friday alone, the day analog signals were cut off. Another 102,000 came in Saturday by 6 p.m. Eastern time.) It’s not like the stations haven’t been running the DTV spots regularly for, say, the past year-and-a-half. The saving grace in this is the number of homes receiving their programming over cable. Without that, it would have been a total cluster-frak.
Farewell Never The Same Color sniff
shaf, i was intrigued by your parting mention (june 12 friday) of steph’s and the mooks’ “vaca”. – cant really blame any of them for having a cow, but is this by any chance, the specific cow that they were having? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JywLnTGpdYM&feature=related
11.
Yes, I wonder how much sympathy I have for those who didn’t even think about what was going to happen, especially those who say that TV is so important to them. I had forgotten, though, about those who only listen to the audio portions since they are blind and now probably the only alternatives they have are getting a TV that they obviously will never watch and have to spend way more than they need to or a USB tuner for a PC/laptop, but you still have to deal with an antenna that’s very touchy to set up.
i really did believe that the tv format switch had happened
back in feb. – that one i did hear announced for about a
year. was that a completely separate “tv” system getting
modified back then ? – and does this mean there are other
“tv” systems that are going to be modified in the future ?
speaking of obsolete entities, here’s some sparkling wit that will surely be entered into the LEGACY OF LIMBAUGH canon:
speaking on president obama, the constitutional scholar who edited the harvard law review, community college flunkee limbaugh offers:
“this smug inexperienced egocentric fool needs
to be stopped … he wanted nothing to do with
bipartisanship … he did not inherit a deficit;
he created it … he is destroying the greatest
engine of freedom that ever exist (sicum).”
RAMSES: so let it be written; so let it be done.
MOSES: so let it be written.
It’s mondee!
Hi Tim (still around?), flom, Paul and shaf.

Some cities did switch back in February as a test to gauge the public’s reaction, though it was initially planned that all stations would change on that day.
Stations that are now broadcasting the “nightlight” service will do so for 30 days, after that, except for low power stations and translators – no more NTSC in the US. Canada won’t be switching for another year or so. Mexico has already done so.
More fun will be coming as cable systems discontinue their analog service and force everyone to get a cable box for each TV.
#15 You are correct, flombaye. The Feb 17 complete switch to DTV was postponed to give more time for folks to get their converter boxes. Some stations went ahead and switched back then (or reduced power to their NTSC transmitters).
I’m watching events in Iran through fingers with my hands overs my eyes. Scary.
I do notice that the demonstrators are well dressed, young…gawd bless ‘em. They are doing what we didn’t in 2000.
Morning, all. I noticed a lot of complaints about the transition to digital. I say that those who didn’t bother to keep up have only themselves to blame. They even got a reprieve of a few months to get it together.
If someone turns on their TV and finds nothing but snow, it’s their fault. What’s the government supposed to do, go house to house and check everyone’s TVs out?
On another note, I blogged about how for all the talk of green shoots, there are some other potential bombs in the real estate market. Check out More Trouble on the Housing Front and Could Multi-Family Housing Be The Next to Crash? at <a href=”http://buyandholdplus.comBuy and Hold Plus
#3, agreed. So proud of our Mama. Smart as a whip, that girl.
trojan rabbit, I think that what you wrote about Mexico having already made the transition says it all.
If the Mexicans have already done it, what the hell is wrong with us? We claim to be a technologically superior nation and yet we’ll let the Mexicans adopt new technology before us?
Speaking of TV, every time I think of Chris Hanson, I hear “why don’t you have a seat right over there?” Is it just me or does everyone think that?
Well…This is new
#18 Yep. On Friday, I posted the link to NPR’s story on how cable companies were shifting programming to their digital packages (which require the cable box). Here’s the link, again:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104822934
That’s the thing Steph was probably talking about, although she wasn’t sure what she was supposed to be worried about. So, does that mean we are going to need a new generation of digital-cable-ready TVs if we don’t want to rent cable boxes?
#25, random commment
saturday and sunday, witout warning, the local library had a sale unloading oodles of fine books. and i do mean excellent fare, as in up to and including such masterpieces as “broca’s brain” and “isaac asimov’s guide to the bible”. – many of these went for fifty cents, and these people managed to destroy my budget. – how do people evn find the time for tv? – am i just reading the supply of printed works much too slowly? – how do people do it?
27: Twas what god made me for.
That and screw the TV changeover thing…I took care of that back in january…when all us good americans thought this shit was gonna happen.
21.
Yes, there are many that just ignored what was to happen and I have no sympathy for them. But there are many people in rural areas that depended on a low-band VHF station that had to move to UHF in the digital “upgrade” and in the process lost a good deal of their coverage area. The FCC screwed up in determining how much power a station would be allowed to transmit, but the propagation of VHF vs UHF is different enough that those way on the fringe were going to lose out no matter what. Also remember that while you can watch a snowy picture with analog, there’s no such thing with digital, you either get it or you don’t. Their only option is satellite, cable systems are probably reluctant to run miles of wire for a few customers.
By the way, is anyone like me anxiously awaiting the proposed new regulations on financial institutions? We could start by, ohmigawd, bringing Glass-Steagall back. Yeah, sure, getting rid of it unleashed innovation. But that innovation backfired sometimes, and it cost the taxpayers billions.
The separation between depository institutions and other financial institutions needs to come back. That way, if someone makes a bad bet on commodities or Mexican pesos at an investment bank, they don’t drag down the associated depository institution. Then they can go poof and it won’t affect things as much.
30: True, but the signal doesn’t have to be as strong to get a decent picture with digital. it’s not like it has to be perfect, or it won’t work.
trojan rabbit, that’s what happens any time you upgrade technology. Some people will be left behind. And while I do sympathize with those who live in rural areas with no cable options, they’re the two percent who get shafted so that 98 percent can benefit.
26.
Um….yes?
Then again, for anything but basic service even a new TV probably won’t help. You’ll need a CableCard (like my TiVo has) and you bet they’ll charge for that. I’ve got a few DVRs that will likely become doorstops.
I look forward to hearing Mama talk to Jesse Ventura. I hope he knows who she is, but since he lives simply in Mexico, maybe not.
Morning, bloggies! Hi Carol, as the 1st female to add to the conversation this am:-)
#16 Yikes. “…needs to be stopped”; and Jon Voight (who the H cares about him anyway, but,) calling Obama a “false prophet” and to put an end to him. This Hate Speech is very scary stuff–and getting worse. Hello, FBI & DHS—there have been 4 acts of Domestic Terrorism in the last 3 months. And Janet Napolitano apologizing for the report? Really? I am All For Freedom of Speech, of course…but when does it become inciting violence? It’s a tough line to draw…
35: ventura still likes to go diving, so it’s possible that ventura is familiar with stephy due to glimpses of ratings from the tv talk show.
32
The system that was chosen is very sensitive to multipath distortion (ghosting in analog). So much so that you can’t receive ATSC in a moving car. That’s a big problem in hilly areas. Or even worse, in the city, but at least there you have a cable option.
Good Morning All!! Anyone watch the Trueblood Season premier last night on HBO?
And that is also part of the reason why the translators (that many rural people depend on) haven’t been forced to change to digital, the other part is the $$$ of a new transmitter.
Comcast took MSNBC a year ago from our cable lineup (getting ready for digital).
It was a tactic to depress Olberman’s ratings, I’m sure.
I want my MSNBC! Mama! waaaa!
38: Because somehow i feel sorry for people in cars…who can’t get a signal.
Oh, well, it’s mondee!
Enjoy the show.
Yay, a new podcast show only 3.5 hours away!
*dancing on sunshine*
#38 I remember the discussion a few years back, that our broadcast DTV was not the same as other countries’ systems. I thought, “Great, another non-compatable system (like AC power, NTSC vs. PAL)”. What the heck is with the FCC and the manufacturers?
Carol, I’m so sorry… they just took the local radio station recently down here in Fort Lauderdale… but if I also had to live without MSNBC, I think I might go postal…
Good morning, all! Happy Monday! Blah…
Anyone else thinking that the unrest in Iran may be a great thing for us? If we can bond with all of these moderate-leaning protesters, we’ll have a terrific ally in that region (even if I’mADinnerJacket is wearing the shiny center-of-attention crown…)
El Kabong!
It’s Miller Time! Woo Hoo!
45: maybe rush got something right. it would seem that going potal without MSNBC would be PMSNBC.
CHRIS HANSON!
Have a seat…go ahead, have a seat
lol flom
50: is chris the young one that plays the drums ?
52: Well…right…what?
Moolah? Is that a mullah with a lot of money?
44.
As far as NTSC is concerned, that’s the disadvantage of being almost first, others can improve upon it. It is to their credit that the standard could be modified to accept color and still work as well as they did, unlike in Britain where an entire new service was set up and designed from the ground up for color. They kept the two services up for years while the old black and white sets were traded in. Still, when the old B&W service went away, many complained. Wiki 405 line.
As far as what FCC does now… $$$$
The same reason we have a non-functional HD system for radio.
Caribou Barbie needs a big steaming cup of STFU.
a skank trying to seduce a dreadfully non-selective baseball player is “statutory rape”?
Good morning, live blogospherians! Back after doing errands for my mother on Friday.

Hippocrate?
it’s a hip crate from italy. it says “fra – jhee – lay”
The transition to digital has been in the works for nearly a decade. And the TV companies bitched and moaned and didn’t want to give up their current spectrum.
I think the FCC did a pretty good job on this one.
#61 It’s how zoos ship their hippos.
Good Morning Board!
Swirly music to start the day!
Hippocrates? HAHAHAHA!
#63 Naturally on one of the Chicago newscasts Friday, someone said, “There should have been more publicity about it!”
I liked that hate letter, it had a clear and poignant point.
The the writer was insane.
#62 Nice “A Christman Story” ref, flombaye!
#67 It’s always good when they let you know right away that they are insane.
Of course it must be recognized that in Britain you pay a license fee for your sets and in the early days the state-funded BBC was all there was.
Oh noes, a pubic hair reference (on Coke can)!

ProducerChris, or whoever gets movie drops for the show, I heard a great one. My Tivo picked up a movie called “The Fortune Cookie.” At about 55 minutes into the movie a guy says this, “Settle a phony claim? never! It’s not just their money that’s at stake, it’s our integrity. If we let shysters like Gingrich ride roughshod over the laws of this land, well …”
That would be a great drop for Newt.
Michelle Malkin is an angry white man?

Hey blog, great to be able to listen live to my favorite afternoon-show! Huh, afternoon? Ehm, yes, I live in Amsterdam, Holland, so for me Steph is on between 3 and 6 in the afternoon.
62: Yes…yes we did…but surprisingly, we made two different jokes involving the same person O.o
83… wow! I’m jealous!
#83 Amsterdam? What a coincidence that you’re called Dutch Paul! Anyway, welcome!
84… they’re easy to come up with about that one…
#83 I guess Stephannie Miller Internationale is not an exaggeration. Welcome, Dutch Paul!
Correct, caller Sue. We think she (Palin) doth protest too much.

That would be correct, caller. “Christians” does not include Catholics.
code of code pink: if bush makes you want to hurl, shoes your actions carefully.
I find it amazing, the those who claim to practice New Testament Christianity frequently resort to Old Testament expressions of violence and retaliation. The New Covenant was supposed to invalidate of the old rules, judgments and punishments. These folks just don’t get it.
121: one fine observation from george carlin’s “brain droppings” is that while carlin is just as qualified as the pope, the difference is that there are less people who recognize it.
Oh, and as for Wasilla? Most of Alaska is unspoiled and beautiful and natural. Even Anchorage isn’t like your typical sprawled out city.
But Wasilla? It’s like someone took a few miles of Sprawsville USA and dropped it right in there.

First trimester of pregnancy, the women’s right to terminate is paramount. The court was persuaded by evidence (true today as well) that 1 out of 3 pregnancies spontaneously abort in the first trimester due to genetic abnormalities, misplaced placenta, etc. The fetus cannot survive outside the womb and frequently does not survive IN the womb.
Second trimester is the tricky one – sometime around 4-5 months (20-26 weeks) the fetus becomes viable, albeit with massive medical intervention. In 1973 the court anticipated the medical advancements we enjoy today and made their ruling flexible: the states could fashion their own solutions to balance mom v. baby’s medical outcomes pending scientific improvements.
I have personal experience with this– I went into premature labor at 24 weeks– my son could have been a late miscarriage or a seriously handicapped preemie. Luckily with complete bedrest he was born only six weeks before his due date. But that is the tipping point which the Roe court refers to as “viability” — can the baby survive, albeit with intensive medical care.
The toughest challenge is the third trimester, which why anti-abortion groups focus on late-term abortions. The court was clear that during this trimester, as long as the baby is viable (i.e. not dead, which happens) the baby’s interest in continuing the pregnancy trump the mother’s interest in not doing so, UNLESS the life or health of the mother is seriously in danger. I know someone who had pre-eclampsia, a life-threatening condition which would have left her toddler-age kids with no mom. Luckily she was able to give birth to a healthy baby, but not everyone is lucky. I also know a mother who had to carry a dead child (cord wrapped around the neck at 8 months) for several weeks and give birth naturally because that would improve her own health including future pregnancies.
The double homicide cases in which a murder who kills a pregnant woman with a VIABLE fetus are relatively recent and are correct. One of the first cases you read in first-year law school crim law is a case from the 1940’s or so in which a guy kicked his girlfriend’s 8-month fetus to death (and beat her up but didn’t kill her) and the court dismissed the charges. It really isn’t hard to distinguish between the rights of an unimplanted zygote (RU 486) and say, 8.5-month-old fetus Paul Tate, who lived 20 minutes after his mother Sharon’s death at the hands of the Charlie Manson gang. Totally different.
I say the time is ripe for some truth-telling about late-term abortion. Maybe a play similar to “Vagina Monologues” – stories of women who have gone through it, told by others of course.
If O’Reilly’s the staunch Catholic he insists he is, wouldn’t he insist that only the rhythm method is permitted for avoiding pregnancy, and be frowning on that as well, considering its INTENT to thwart to Will of God?
188: and yet the pope hogs the hat that has the reservoir tip. – does the new republican hat have any cool features like that?

#191 The Catholic Church approves of the rhythm method because there is always a chance of conception occurring if the couple screws up their timing.

Whut was it? Gilber Gottfried: if masturbation was a crime
I’d be on death row… or something like that
Onanism supposedly forbids both masturbation and coitus interruptus, according to some Old Testament zealots. Casting thy seed upon the ground, and such.
Seeing as how the average man produces enough sperm during his lifetime to repopulate the entire planet, and women have a couple hundred (?) eggs, and almost all gets WASTED – I’d say that every sperm is not so precious to God.
My Dad summed up the Baptist philosophy – “if it makes you grin, it’s a sin..”

[note to self- do NOT make David Carradine joke]
199 that’s why you’re going to hell hee hee
Onan wouldn’t marry his brother’s widow, which
was the system they used back in the day to support
widows. His offense had nothing to do with the jacking off

202 no harm no foul, good info actually
Steph: something something ‘unreliable drunk’
she said it like there was something wrong with it
I think more liberals should employ Ventura’s policy about Fox.
WOW! Did he just say he was ashamed of his country over waterboarding?!
uh-oh. a truth-teller steps up. expect attacks on WWF anytime now.
Jesse renewed his hero status with me when he said that George W. Bush was the worst President of his lifetime. Boy howdy!
Hi All,
Boy, if any of you don’t think we need a form of health care for all in this country here’s a little girl, American citizen, who was born with a facial deformity that was no fault of her own and is not fully covered by her pitiful health “insurance”.

Jesse was speaking truth with that Playboy interview.
And another renewal – the very reason I abandoned organized religion.. Thanks, Jesse.
212 Hunter Thompson on Bush:
“Well, shit on that dumbness. George W. Bush does
not speak for me or my son or my mother or my
friends or the people I respect in the world. We
didn’t vote for these cheap, greedy little killers
who speak for America today– and will not vote
for them again in 2002. Or 2004. Or ever.
Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who
are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who
get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids
like George Bush?
They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad
Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak
for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the
American character. They are the racists and hate
mongers among us– they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss
down their throats.
I am too old to worry about whether they like it
or not. Fuck them”
GO JESSE! JFK Hit!
189—very good outline of the issues.
happy thing for Monday:
Mother sells rubbers to sailors
Dad pokes the heads with a pin
sister performs the abortions
my god how the money rolls in
If you watch pro wrestling, the guy who gets thown and the thrower have to really work well together.
Oops. I forgot to add: And if either screws up, somebody can get hurt…seriously.
I saw Randy “The Macho Man” Savage walking thru an airport one time after a match (the night before). He was walking in pain. So, the matches might be choreographed, but they’re not easy.
Oh I so want to see Jesse beat the crap out of Hannity.
Wrestling is theater—that’s for sure.
I hate wrestling by the way—can’t stand watching it. But loved “The Wrestler” because of the story it told of two individuals trying to make it in this crappy world.
Momma’s Hot for Jesse
she wants to date him…
#226 It’s theater, but I’ve watched it up close. Those guys are doing a lot of work out there, and there is a tremendous risk if somebody screws up.
It’s the theatricals around wrestling that give it the bad rep.
229—theater is hard work too. Oh you just don’t know what those poor slob actors and dancers go through out there during 8 shows a week. It’s very hard mental and physical work.
225. One pin-prick and the crap would fly out of Hannity like air out of a balloon and it would be over, ALL over everything
221—”Mother sells rubbers to sailors
Dad pokes the heads with a pin
sister performs the abortions
my god how the money rolls in”
Wait! That’s Health Net’s business plan! Who told you?!
#231 I’m not saying theater isn’t hard work. Wrestlers are closer to dancers than actors when in the ring, but when they are thrown, there is often no one to catch them. There’s a lot of give in the ring floor, but if you hit wrong, you’re toast.
#226 It’s theater, but I’ve watched it up close. Those guys are doing a lot of work out there, and there is a tremendous risk if somebody screws up.
Yep, just ask Owen Hart or Mick Foley.
Back in Black, y’all (damn meetings)….. Just in time for You-Know-What!! It WILL be mine.
#236 You’ve got a better chance than I do. I have to leave at the top of the hour.
Love me some Jesse Ventura!
#220 Thanks, Spiffy– I was honked off at the callers, the livebloggers are awxsome
It strikes me that the rightwingers have a common theme in a lot of their issues — they impute hedonistic motives (i.e. abortions for fun, or to clean up the mess of a slutty, irresponsible, hedonistic lifestyle) that harkens back to the ’60’s: “squares” in buzz cuts frowning on amoral hippies. They never get to the science or actual cases in the abortion debate.
Gawd, she (Palin) is soooo soothing! *screams*
“Sub Dial Up speeds”???? Does such a thing really exists? Something is slower that Dial Up?? Hamster Wheel powered internet?
WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!! Palin in White House = Me in Canada
If Palin is ever elected President, I’m memorizing the following:
238—that’s because so many of them are ardent hedonists.
#240 Well, I’ve used a 300 baud dial-up connection. That’s pretty freakin’ slow!
President Palin *screams!* Ski mobile ramps around the front of the and turkey slaughter pen on the south lawn.
around the front of the white house.
242—If Palin runs for Pres. I will devote every spare moment I have to working against her. She’s DUMB. We’ve already had one dumb president. We cannot afford another!
Richard – “mouse ears” (acoustic modem) at as low as 110 baud..
#244 Wow…the slowest I ever used was 2400 baud.
Time to head out of here. Think of me at Sparta time….So long!
243. Or were the ones left out of the party who are bitter.
242 Oh Canada! Our Homeland and Our Home!
Oh Canada! You are Where We Live!
233 Hey Spiff!
speakin o’ spiff, Do The Google on “Australopithecus spiff-arino”. Trust me on this one
#242 Great minds….. etc.. etc….
Seems I remember the lowest available baud rate for modems was 50 baud. That was what they were using in The Abyss, when Ed Harris texted “LOVE U WIFE”..
202: okay. i’m back. i can definitely sympathize about having to unload, but it wasnt from the dumb callers. must have been all the talk about onan the barbarian.
#247 I will certainly join you in that noblest of campaigns (right before I move to Canada)
I’m really disgusted with a few inhabitants of Los Angeles this morning. I do not understand why crazy people think that the Lakers winning is a good opportunity to torch the city, spray grafitti, and damage cars.
Who can explain this to me? Is it because they are all drunk? I’ve seen plenty of drunk people do stupid stuff.
#248 Yep, 300 was the theoretical best with an acoustic coupler. Our old TTY devices (our first Compuserve terminals) used ‘em.
‘K LeftCenter. Have a chemistry day.
#243 Spiffy: “that’s because so many of them are ardent hedonists.”
Exactly– they repress it all week, liquor up Friday and Saturday and fall on their knees begging for forgiveness from the Lord Sunday morning. Like that great old country song by Hank Thompson:
One hell of a weekend, all filled up with sin
Friday night through Sunday, it’s whiskey, beer and gin
One hell of a weekend, I’ll be glad when it’s through
And then baby I’ll come crawlin’ home to you.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Listening to “In The Evening” by Zep to avoid Wild Thing. I swear to God they drop a piano out of a building in this song. I know it’s just some Jimmy Page guitar effect, but that’s what it sounds like.
#251 k to the g: “Or were the ones left out of the party who are bitter.”
That too!
Shaf – Ah, but have you played Zork over such a link to a PDP-11/45, at 1:30 AM Sunday morning, when all sane people were sleeping or making whoopee?
And do you own a pocket protector?
257: i’m not from here either. culture often boggles me completely. in fact, scientists still have no leads about why “according to jim” is still on the air.
wow~! Ya’ll are dating yerselfs… Zork, dial up… next
you’ll admit you prog’d in Cobol, Fortran, Assembler
back when it was ‘data processing’
265: you younguns dont even remember threetran, i reckon.
#263 Never been much of a game player, but I’ve used a PDP-11/45 (as well as a Data General Nova 800). I didn’t have a pocket protector, but I proudly wore a TI Programmer (decimal, octal, hex) calculator on my belt.
#265 Guilty as charged (Cobol, Fortran, Assembler) Throw in PL/1, Pascal, SNOBOL as well.
267: we couldnt get icosa calculators, because of the war.
LUMBERJACK SONG!!!!!! AWESOME PLAY MORE
I’m ancient. I admit it. Never programmed in COBOL (computer oriented business language) but heard it was designed so that management could “understand” the program. That says it all.
I haven’t programmed in 360 Assembler although I had a class on it. Have done a ton of 8080, Z80, 6800, 68000, Z8000, and 8086 (family) programming, as well as a custom bit slice implemented with AMD2900 parts.
Nerk, nerk..
my cardboard stephy gets way too much use on sneak a kiss day. – actually i thott it was snatch a kiss day, and even then, i got the process backward.
260—It’s not even the drinkin’ that’s the sin. It’s the greed and the lack of compassion for their fellow man and woman.
If it’s all for a profit it’s all good to them. But let’s not discuss it anymore. I opt for action instead.
Otherwise it’s national Bill-O’s day.
Is that the sound of Richard in DC cracking his knuckles for…..SPARTA?
265—I will never admit to that! lol

is the view from in sarah palin’s head just sort of like that willie wonka boat ride all the time? – just wondering – latterman mentioned that sarah palin was in new york for a few days, hunting rats from the tourist helicopter. – we can only hope a few were left for the skyhawk’s congratulatory feast.

Morning Cindy!
Somebody must have posted about this already, but:
Yay, according to the “Latest video” title of Stephanie on CNN, we can look forward to seeing Steph on “Saturday 9/13/09″. Excellent! We can predict what Steph will say in the future.
Sorry Steph, Sept. 13 ‘09 is a Sunday, but we love it you’ll be on CNN then!

Thanks Steph for the condolences
We did get drunk though
so it wasn’t all bad
this is similar to mark levin’s analysis of the very same sound bite, that it would be totalitarian government control, because medical institutions and insurance companies would still be required to meet some standards and follow some rules.

She smells like plonk. She mentions she’s feeling a little
drunk and slutty. Love that Girl.
Morning blogovitches … now which one of you’s been messing with my teevee?
341: same question to Cindy!
ah, yes, the threat of “losing” health care. limbaugh recently had a similar disconnect, in trying to scare people over obama: “do you want to wait a year for a job?” – just think of how awesome that would be, if it only took a year to get a job. – it is perhaps unwise to use a scare scenario that people will flock to in droves.

How cool, Cindy! I’m going to have to catch up on your material on KOS.
I have a couple of blog entries over there, from months ago, I’m Iva Biggin on KOS. But it seems to me that writing a decent blog is more work than I’m willing to do, at least very often. (besides, I have a hot head which sometimes overcomes me and spoils my writing..).
do you all keep getting the ridiculous ‘Obama you scare
me cause I don’t know you blah blah’ letter? Three times
morons have sent it. Including my mother. I asked her to
refrain w/the idiocy, still she keeps hitting the send button
351: WTF would Rush Limbaugh know about finding a job? He’s been a total zero his entire life, never really worked for a living.
Meanwhile Obama is talking the insurance agents in lab coats known as the AMA.
True story
Dad with Medicare diagnosed with lung cancer gets surgery 3 weeks after diagnosis.
Sister-in-law with private insurance that brother pays through the ass for as a self-employed person is diagnosed with breast cancer and has to wait for chemo until payment is made ( insurance company considers chemo as a prescription drug instead of a medical treatment and they don’t have prescription coverage) and has to wait for double mastectomy surgery until insurance company approves.
The only system that rations health care is the private/HMO system that rewards docs with “bonus” payments for keeping “costs” down.
Sen Stabinow – we know what the problem is. It’s CONGRESS! Don’t treat us like idiots.
354: 2 years into the presidential campaign, hannity was still ranting that there’s just no info about about obama – we dont know what the guy looks like – has he ever been in politics – is he a hamas muslim, an al quaeda muslim, or a regular saracen-sword-totin muslim? – it’s just total secrecy. – nobody knows anything about this guy. — if only they hadnt hidden all that stuff from hannity in a PDF.

better yet just start killing lobbyists. It’s not like they

364 – they were all chicks. But they weren’t playing..
361. lobbyists = pimps for parasites
True story –
People without health insurance probably don’t have jobs that offer other benefits either, like sick time, so they wait until after work and usually end up in the emergency department which ends up costing TONS more money than if they had gone to a family doc who doesn’t have to cover the overhead costs of all the equipment and staff that an emergency department has to have in order to handle emergency/life threatening treatments.
366: sounds like a hitchcock script.
#352 Margaret Cho has a joke about some dumb redneck calling her a chink. She’s actually Korean, so she had to correct him and tell him he should be calling her a gook.
I have no problem with lobbyists taking to legislators. They can talk until they’re blue in the face. What I can’t abide is the transfer of money in the form of campaign donations that give their voice an implied authority. Come’on, candidates know who their largest contributors are.
We need public financing of campaigns (including free air time).
