  22. Pink, I usually have a fiction and a non-fiction going at the same time. Upstairs, I usually have some escapist stuff so I don't have think real hard but I am also loving and highly recommend Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny.

  23. I saw a "netbook" computer at Costco for about $300. It weighed 2.5 lbs and has a 10 in display. I'm not sure what niche it fills but it sure was cute. Anyone know anything about them?

  24. Pink, we had H1N1 here for the past 10 days and you don't want it near you. If you have access to a vaccine, I would take it. Save yourself.

  26. Thanks, Brandy!

    I've seen those too, snowcrash - I think there are some drawbacks - Bare can probably think of them (he likes HUGE laptop computers - you should see his work laptop, it's like my desktop!). I like those super-portable things.

    No CD drive in it, right?

  27. Hi Brandy, maybe just a tonic and lime? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Snow, I almost got one just because of the price, but I'm glad I waited for my used laptop. It totally depends on what you want to do with it. For portability and quick wireless access, they can't be beat with the obvious drawbacks re: applications and no dvd.

    ReplyDelete
  29. CC, I just noticed the portability and price. Oh yeah, and cuteness.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Snowcrash, I don't know a lot about them but I do know that you need to watch for operating systems ...some come with Linux.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I like cuteness. Cuteness works for me.

    I'm a big fan of the little Sony machines. The smaller they are, the more they seem to cost. I swear they market those things just for me. LOL

    They sent out this mailer with one where the envelope looked just like a little leather envelope/sleeve clutch purse. I instantly fell in love!

    Once I saw one in action, though, I didn't want it - I like a touchpad, and it just had that little nubby thing in the center of the keyboard. I hate those!

  32. I'm doing well, thanks, Brandy. The martini looks good.

  33. Ok, the idiocy of the day.

    the NEW black Barbie doll - Michelle Obama effect.

    Barbie from the block got mixed reviews Wednesday from city girls inspecting the newest spin on the old-school toy.

    "So In Style" dolls, a fresh take on the black Barbie, hit store shelves this week, featuring a group of plastic friends sporting shiny bling, big earrings and fancy sneakers.

    Many of the city girls liked the dolls - Grace, Kara and Trichelle - but some felt the Mattel toy company went too far with the rap-inspired details.

    "Not all black people like hip hop," said Barbara Mootoo, 15, of Manhattan, looking at Kara's silver rope chain necklace. "They gave her a chain like a 50Cent video."

    Tyaine Danclaire, 15, of the Bronx, liked Trichelle's straight, long hair because it looked like "a weave," but she thought the idea "was sorta racist."

    "They say black girls are ghetto with the gold earrings, with the big bling; I don't agree with that," she said.

    Mattel said veteran Barbie designer Stacey McBride-Irby, an African-American mother of two, created the dolls so her kids could have toys that look like their neighborhood friends.

    Standard black Barbie dolls have been around since 1980 and are darker versions of their blond counterparts.

    The new $30.99 dolls have "authentic-looking facial features" such as fuller lips, a wider nose ... and curlier hair," Mattel said.

    "I like it," said Rachel Kahn, 9, of Charlotte, N.C., visiting relatives in Manhattan. "It is hip hop. It is Beyoncé."

    Nikki Wright, 12, of East Harlem, showed off her braided hair extensions and gold hoops in her ears while holding a Trichelle doll.

    "They look like people where we live," the seventh-grader said. "I wear big earrings. The weave. Things that we use."


    here is the bullshit link

    The new black Barbies released by Mattel have fuller lips, curlier hair and other features that the company says more accurately represent African-American women.

    Some have cheered the new dolls. Others jeered them, saying they're not black enough.

    "I love the black Barbie. It's about time," Jua Simpson said on CNN's iReport, a user-generated news community. "But the hair is still a step backwards, since most of our hair is not straight and light brown."

    Others disagree with critics who say the dolls should have had more natural black hairstyles, such as afros or braids.

    Michelle 0bama has a once in a lifetime historic opportunity to address issues specific to her race such as disproportionate abortion rates, high drop-out rates, disproportionate crime rates and children being raised in single-parent homes.

    She has an opportunity to shine and show some real leadership where it matters. Somehow I expect this opportunity to be squandered; I've seen nothing to convince me otherwise.

    fortunately, the time in my life I was responsible for raising a (step)daughter the only doll craze to hit was those true-to-life baby dolls, the name I can no longer remember. They arrived with a name and a history and they were babies. (The one we got her was 'Beatrice', I believe).

    Which is not to say I didn't play with Barbie dolls. But it was never about the doll.

    It was about the clothes. My elementary home ec class did the sewing thing on making clothes for the Barbie dolls.

    But ethnic stuff? Political correctness? My sister told me to send her daughter an American Girl doll for Christmas one year that was all about some political idea or another.

    I gave her a telescope instead.

    My very first doll?

    Betsy Wetsy. She came with a bottle you loaded with water, shoved it in her mouth and voila! She peed.

    What a thrill.

    Tomorrow, Pi Guy's Halloween Week Pub Series starts...and what I was hoping was that everyone would change their display name and avatar to their favorite character on the pub threads. See, that would have been fun, right?

    But they still haven't fixed the avatar thing (though I know for sure they're aware of it and working on it) - are we going to have to go with mixed up screen names only, but no avatar fun?

    I sure hope they're fixed tomorrow.

  52. Pink, what has been Michelle O's social platform? Laura Bush had literacy, I don't remember Hillary's except for trying to be the architect for health care reform in the 90's. Nancy R had just say no to drugs. Oddly, Michelle is a modern youngish woman and we haven't heard too much from her.

    Ayatollah Ghomeini had a post the other nite deploring how she has been attacked, given that she is one of the most low-key first ladies we have ever had.

    I responded, but it was the last post before the thread was closed, so I don't know if he ever saw it. Anyway - she's one of the most low-key FL we've ever had because she spent the entire campaign opening her fat mouth and alienating people.

    Fox News Refutes Reports That 'Pay Czar' Interview Never Was Requested


    A Fox News executive refuted on Saturday reports that the White House didn't make the administration's "pay czar" available for an interview because the network didn't ask.

    "Of course we requested the interview," Fox News Senior Vice President Michael Clemente said, responding to reports citing the White House as claiming it had excluded Fox News from a series of interviews Thursday with Kenneth Feinberg set up through the five-network TV pool.

    Clemente also said that the White House had acknowledged that an employee at the Treasury Department made a mistake in initially excluding Fox.

  101. Media Matters coordinates campaign against 'lethal' Fox

    An official at a Democratic-leaning organization sends on a memo the group Media Matters is circulating today to progressive groups, calling Fox "a lethal 24/7 partisan political operation" and rallying a coalition of groups to join the White House assault on the network.

    "The danger to progressive causes and the institution of journalism has become too significant to ignore," says the introduction to a memo by Media Matters founder David Brock. "At Media Matters, we believe it is of paramount importance that progressive leaders have the information necessary to understand exactly what Fox News has become. We hope this brief memorandum will assist you in reaching your own decision on how best to engage this threat."

    One of the group's conclusions: Progressive groups should join the White House's effective boycott of the network, and failing that, "any progressive who chooses to go on Fox News should understand that they will be debating the political opposition, not conducting a news interview."

  111. Hi Gak, good to see you! Whatcha dinking?

    ReplyDelete
  112. Ok. I've got to go. In my peripetitic ramblings thru the newspapers, I've saved this and haven't found a good place to post it. So you guys are stuck with it.

    this is an exclusive interview by the Asia Times (who publishes the priceless 'Spengler') with Mohammad Ilyas Kashmiri. Al Queda leader in Pakistan.

    He invited this correspondent to a secret hideout in the South Waziristan-Afghanistan border area, where drones regularly fly overhead.

    This is Ilyas' first-ever media interaction since he joined al-Qaeda in 2005. He is a veteran commander from the struggle with India over divided Kashmir.

    In the past few months, the militants have appeared to be on the back foot. A number of leading figures have been killed in drone attacks in Pakistan, including Osama al-Kini, a Kenyan national and al-Qaeda's external operations chief; Khalid Habib, the commander of the Lashkar al-Zil or the Shadow Army, al-Qaeda's fighting force; Tahir Yuldashev, leader of the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan; PTT leader Baitullah Mehsud, and several others.
    [ ]
    Ilyas Kashmiri gave his views on what the upcoming battle will look like, what its targets will be, and how it will impact the West in relation to the destabilization of a Muslim state such as Pakistan.

    The contact with Asia Times Online began with a call from the militants on October 6, inviting this correspondent to the town of Mir Ali in North Waziristan. No reason was given. The next day, I traveled to Mir Ali, a town that has been heavily attacked by drones over the past year. After over seven hours of continuous traveling, I was received by a group of armed men who transferred me to a house belonging to a local tribesman.

    "The commander [Ilyas Kashmiri] is alive. You know that the commander has never spoken to the media before, but since everybody is sure of his death as a result of a drone attack [in September], al-Qaeda's shura [council] decided to make a denial of this news through an interview by him to an independent newspaper, and therefore the shura agreed on you," a person whom I knew as the key person in Ilyas' famous 313 Brigade told me as soon as I reached the safe house. The brigade, a collection of jihadi groups, fought for many years against India in India-administered Kashmir.

    "You will have to stay in this room until we inform you of the next plan. You can hear the voices of drones above your head, therefore you will not leave the room. The area is full of Taliban, but also of informers whose information on the presence of strangers in a house could lead to a drone attack," the man said.

  131. snowcrash: It should be okay in a couple of days. I iced and salted it fairly fast so it hasn't swollen much. I think I will get a picture of it tomorrow to show off the war wound.

    /Note to self, find some proper oven mitts.

  135. Nana, she needs more than a fashion czar. She needs one of those yellow banners that say Wide Load" pasted across her butt. lol

  136. I'll put the After-Pub "bring your drinks" up early, guys - maybe Brandy would continue her shift over there.

    (Seems silly to put up another Pub thread with only 15 minutes to go, but this one is about to start paging.)

  140. Phil, oven mits are good, salting?? a burn sounds like a wives tale treatment. Cool water, OTC pain relief and cover with gauze to protect blister are best.

  142. Phil,

    Seriously, I now use only silicone oven mitts. They are the best. Even my daughter was impressed and actually got herself some. ;)

    And the 3-year old grandsone also loves them..he uses them as hand puppets. Hilarious!

    Try them, you'll like them.

    Are you having an okay night, gak?

    New thread is up - grab your drinks and head on over, if you don't like the paging on this one.
