  9. Hi {DEZ}. It's been empty most of the day. People living their lives and such.

  10. UN inspectors visit Qom nuclear site
    They are led, I'm sure, by Inspector "I see nothing!" Schultz.

    I'd rather Inspector Clouseau:
    "This is a precision centrifuge"
    knocks it down
    "Not any more"

  11. Afternoon Kosh - You are correct. The UN inspectors are not going to find anything.

  16. buzz - I'm doing good. Didn't have much planned for the day so I hung out here now and then. It's been slow, until now.

    ReplyDelete

  17. Oh, fine, gak...what am I, chopped liver? Was I not giving you a ration of you-know-what over the Bears earlier? ; )

    ReplyDelete

  19. what am I, chopped liver?

    No. Foix gras.

  20. The first of Pi Guy's Halloween Pub threads starts tonight, in about an hour and twenty minutes.

    It was painfully slow on C2 yesterday until the Pub thread published. I promised Brandy it would be slow too, but it was pretty zippy. Hopefully tonight will be busy in there too - but weekends slow down to a snail's pace around here. Then Monday, it'll be busy again.

    It's been that way for a while.

    The Bears are chopped liver.

    Well, well. First touch down for the Bears today. ack!

    ReplyDelete

  23. Maybe they can come back and win, gak. ; ) (Am I rubbing it in too much? I have a friend who is a Bears fan who just drives me nuts with the trash talk - he is just in my face all the time with it...I don't want to be like that!)

  24. BTW: I've used that "Oh yeah? SEZ YOU!" thing a bunch lately, buzz. Thanks. ; )

  25. Well, what I thought was a headache seems to be more like a low-grade fever. I feel achy and yucky. And I have kids crawling all over me.

    Mark Steyn was dead on, as usual. What I'm wondering is what will happen when the "organizer" loses what remains of his support, at home and among the oh-so-sophisticated EUniks? He is too frickin' arrogant to change direction (unlike Bill Clinton, who at least had enough sense to move to the center) and doesn't seem to have a clue how to deal with the real problems facing the country.

    Do you anticipate that happening? I just don't. I think there are people who are in love with the idea of him, and I think they are plentiful.

    Oh, no way - LOL. It slows down a little bit everywhere...especially here though. I guess we could try putting up something interesting on Saturday and Sunday.

    NAH. : )

    Not at all CC!. I enjoy your good natured ribbing. : )

    It's fun. And I've noticed you stopped saying, "just kidding" when you do it. 'Cause you know I know you are. {CC}

    I don't think I've hugged you before.

    ReplyDelete

  33. It does come in handy, doesn't it?

    Most definitely! I've used it at least five or six times since you passed it on.

    Of course, I feel like I've walked onto the set of Leave It To Beaver when I use it, but that's half the fun!

    ReplyDelete

  34. I was actually thinking that "Oh, yeah? Sez you!" would go well on a T-shirt, except that I never wear T-shirts.

    ReplyDelete

  35. Oh, and buzz...I've been trying to come up with a t-shirt/mug design for C2. Maybe that ought to be our official slogan:

    Correspondence Committee
    Oh yeah? SEZ YOU!

    Hmmmm...I could work with that. ; )

    ReplyDelete

  36. Oh man! I just posted and scrolled up to see your post, buzz - I swear I didn't read your first! That's funny!

    ReplyDelete

  38. CC -- his popularity is dropping, and that's all he has. He can't deliver on any of his promises and the economy continues to tank. More than that, his arrogance is wearing thin with the general public.

    As for the media, Disraeli is right. they are fickle. And they know full well that Obama is threatening not just Fox but all of them. CNN has shown a bit of concern as has ABC. If the president keeps on with this, I suspect other networks will defect from his side. The Fourth Estate doesn't like being questioned. And the more that "the war on Fox" becomes the story, the sorrier Obama looks.

  40. gak, please don't take this wrong - but I thought you were a guy until yesterday! This is actually intended to be flattering, because I like men and their typically straightforward nature. It's partly because you seem to know your football, also.

    Everyone in our former "home" thought I was a man until I put my picture in my avatar. I never was sure what to think about that...maybe I'm manly or something. : )

    ReplyDelete

  41. Lucius, I think you're right - that's key. If he loses the friendly media, he is toast. That's his biggest asset, and if they turn on him, there will be no recovery.

    ReplyDelete

  42. Oh, and gak: ((((GAK))))

    Midwestern, "Central Division" hug there. ; ) (I can't warm to this NFC North thing. I'm too old school!)

  43. Buzz, I'm somewhat aware of what you do - are you a graphic designer, also? I've seen your site - it's very hip.

  44. CC -- what's even more fascinating is how the debate in the US is leading the Brits to rethink their own ideas about government.


    The lessons of Obama's healthcare programme for Britain
    There is a difference between letting people keep their own money and the state giving them an equivalent amount, writes Janet Daley


    I am still amazed – after living in Britain for more than 40 years – at how much the principle of choice is embedded in every area of American life. Even Medicare – the government healthcare system for retired people – has a variety of optional plans (some of which are paid-for additions) to choose from. And the private insurance industry provides what are known as Medigap policies which offer coverage, at low cost, to fill the gap between what Medicare pays for and what the patient might want. (This system provides a model for the kind of “top-up” insurance policies which could emerge in Britain if the NHS accepted top-up payments as a matter of course for any extra procedures or medications that it was not prepared to provide.)

    Americans, by and large, resist being “given” things by the state: they instinctively dislike being turned into passive supplicants. They equate the ability to make choices with power, and the conferring of state benefits (whether in the form of services or money) as a loss of personal freedom. The British are just beginning to come to the same conclusion. And that is what should have been the nub of the argument about middle-class welfare payments.

    There is a critical difference between a child tax allowance – letting people with greater need keep more of their own money – and giving them handouts for an equivalent amount, quite apart from the fact that the former is far more efficient and less expensive to administer than the latter. It is a question of who gives and who receives, who chooses and who decides. In short, of who holds the power and thus the moral responsibility: the individual or the state.

    If people decide they like it, I'm fine with it; as I've said, "Oh, yeah? Sez you!" is the voice of America before it became strangled by political correctness.

  49. L/S, there are so many healthcare horror stories that have come out of the UK...I was wondering the other day why the population accepts this.

    Did you guys happen to see this story? Check out this poor man's arm.

    I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

    If you knew how I got my nic you would have known. But because you didn't, don't give it another thought.

    I grew up with two older brothers who helped me become the fantastic athelet I became (in my own mind - lol) and knowledge of sports. Football was a family TV watch. My oldest brother taught me how to score tennis and learn terms like: Let, Love, Advantage, Set, Match, etc.

    Knowledge and the love of sports do not appeal to some gals, or for that matter, some men. Doesn't make a woman "manly" or a guy girly.

    I talk too much.

  51. Hey C2, good to see you and caught buzz at the same time.

    A late welcome buzz. But what the hell..good to see ya'.

    Thanks. I art directed it, but didn't do the actual realization. I've done some illustration, some design, some calligraphy.

  53. Hahaha Kosh!

    I purchase my images for web use from a very good site where they are VERY reasonable and the artists are SO creative - particularly with things like lightbulbs. I wonder if they'll remove all incandescents from their stock. Heh.

    Kosh's Shadow says -
    Yes. I'm a guy, and I'm only slightly interested in sports, while my daughter is much more interested, and an athlete.
    That doesn't make me girly and her butch, as you said. Even if she did play rugby.
    BTW, she's married to a Maryland state trooper.

  61. Well, buzz, I love it - I was very impressed when I saw it.

    Full disclosure: It sometimes makes me a little nervous to upload a design around here because of your presence, to be perfectly honest with you...but I don't have a choice, so I just bite the bullet.

    And we're all thrilled you're here. (As if you couldn't tell!)

    I'd better go check on how things are going on the new site - see you guys on the Halloween Pub thread!

    ReplyDelete

  62. {Kosh} - thanks for your comment.

  63. enuff you still here? Wanted to say Hi!

  64. CC: Hey, I'm a pussycat. And years in the salt mines of commercial art taught me that there are lots of different tastes. If I think something doesn't work, I'll tell you why--but my opinion is still just an opinion.

  66. Greetings C2ers,

    Regarding battleships from the previous thread I always enjoy the story of General Billy Mitchell who is recognized as the father of the USAF and famous for proving that air power can sink capital ships. Less well known is the tactics he developed during the Battle of the San Mihiel Salient in WWI which was the first effective use of air-ground combined arms.

    ReplyDelete

  67. Well, this isn't my line of work (I'm a professional musician), though it was my father's and my brother's, so it's more or less something I sort of picked up growing up. I'm all about getting better! That works for me.

    I swear I was laughing so hard over that finial thing - I was doubled over for the entire thread!

    I will NEVER live that down. : )

    P.S. Thanks for not busting me on the boxing glove/brain. ; )

  68. Hi experienced! Will you be visiting the Pub tonight?

  69. I may fall asleep before the pub thread.

  70. DEZ, we need you in there tonight! Drink a Five Hour Energy, will you? : ) (They work!)

    ReplyDelete

  71. {DEZ} Come join us in the Pub. If only for a few minutes.

    ReplyDelete

  72. Hey, e/t - good to see you. (Now I really have to check on the new place...progress!)

    ReplyDelete

  73. CC, I have my new avatar loaded.
    BOO!

  74. You have to be one of the first five posts then, DEZ, so we can see it!

    (Blogspot. Ugh.)

  75. Hey Gak,

    I love the Liberty Pub. You can't beat the price of drinks and the bar wenches are outstanding ;)

  76. Well CC, we can click each others names to see em.
    Its not the same but wadda ya do.

  77. Too bad the avatars aren't working, or I'd change mine for the Halloween threads. Maybe I'd pretend to be Ambassador Mollari instead of a Vorlon's Shadow.

  78. Hey CC. By the way, I really do like the blog title. Correspondence Committee is just right. Well done.

    You might want to beware of the Liberty Pub.

    I've noticed some weird and eerie things happening there. I think it's haunted, but you can judge for yourself in a few minutes...

  80. Thank you, e/t - it was Bare's idea (he's from New England, so history of the American Revolution is something he was surrounded by in his youth). I had to laugh when I saw that someone (who doesn't think much of us, to say the least) thought we called it that because we "email each other".
