Pulsing

The man is from Minnesota. that explains it???

It’s better to be pulsing than to get wee-wee’d up.
.
KT, I hope your holiday went well. Enjoying your new kindle? What was the first book read? Also, the WH photo blog is filling up with serious “1000 words” red meat. Would new posts deflect reader venom away from the undiebomber, even briefly? No need for panties in a twist today. As for new words and Safire, use your media starlet power to take up the lexicology torch yourself. Invent a new word for it too. Thoughts?

The independent senator from Connecticut will deem the TSA/Undiebomber worthy of investigation and in the new year call together the pulsing members of the Lieberman Committee, which works on both levels…

I wonder what “pulsing up” has been done with the Hasan “lessons learned” investigation. KT, any intel on that?

“pulsing the system”

meaning to check to see if the Obama administration has a pulse in defending this country

As long as we’re on the subject of establishment-speak, where the hell did “non-starter” come from?
.
Who coined it? What does it mean? Why do we need it?

Apparently, the Obama Administration is full steam ahead on sending GTMO detainees to Yemen.

A term to describe an inept, unqualified, worthless from the start idea or entity.
.
For for further definition refer to the current administration.

Could that be described as giving aid to the enemy?
Or an old and seldom used term such as treason?

KT, are there any indications that the GTMO policy is going to be revised? It seems nuts to send GTMO detainees to Yemen. Isnt this a perfect opportunity to go back on that?

kt, that seems like a problem . . . . obama not being completely truthful?

Judging from the cons’ peanut gallery this forum can now be called Pulse Fiction.

Invent and define a new word contest?

actually that would be Obama’s HC plan or Obama’s job creation plan or Obama’s foreign policy or Obama’s Security plan or…

Purpose – To Form A More Perfect Union
On This Fifth Day of Kwanzaa

Notably, the only administration that has ever sent GITMO detainees to Yemen is the Bush administration. In fact, I believe the folks that are heading up Al Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula (as they now call themselves in Yemen) are the folks they freed. So perhaps your question should be is Obama going to continue Bush – Cheney policies and send detainees to Yemen?

Ah Dee, so wonderful to see you step in it. It’s obvious that the Bush Administration didn’t cover itself with glory here–but, and you have to concede, it’s unlikely that had Bush had his drothers, a lot fewer GTMO detainees would have been released. There was, um, a lot of pressure from your side on these points. But hey, he made the decision, and he’s gotta live with it. Obama, of course, had planned to release a lot of guys we’ve held (i.e., likely the most dangerous guys) to Yemen. Why would he do that? That Bush did something under pressure from caterwaulers like Senator/Candidate Obama doesn’t excuse Obama from planning to send guys to Yemen.

KT, just think its not even Friday and here you are with the most frivolous post ever. Perhaps, you think what we need most at a time like this is a good laugh and then every thing will be right as rain. I sure hope that’s your intention. Of course personally, I would have gone for the mea culpa post since you practically called for the ousting of Napolitano based on a mischaracterization of what she actually said. apparently, it’s not just the folks on the right that have a problem with the facts. I’m sure that you don’t see it that way but perhaps a year from now you might admit that your words may have fueled a political assault akin to your contribution to the marginalization of Al Gore. See some things never change. The adminstration is different but once again its a Democratic administration so that’s enough continuity for me. The media once again feels safe to attack even when its unwarranted because the media likes to attack things and well they are too cowardly to go after Republicans because they fight back dirty. Many months ago KT I predicted that you and your brethren would be the reason that our country doesn’t make it.

The village continues to carry water for the Republicans in all of their hypocritical glory and help them delegitimize this president. For all the Ivy league education you and your fellow villagers have received you didn’t learn a lot about human nature. The GOP continues to repeat their behavior because it works, apparently the media doesn’t see that as a problem, nor do they see that it only works because they help it. The last time the media including madam Maureen took this tack on a Democratic president we ended up with Bush. so way to go folks, by all means ensure that the GOP returns to power so they can finish the job and end life as we know it.

So spob aer you saying that president Bush was so weak that caved to pressure rather than stand up for what he knew to be true? Oh spare me that ridiculous assertion. the Bush administration flatly screwed up and release the wrong folks. The evidence they gathered was handled so badly they probably just mixed up the files and released the wrong detainees. any way you look at it Republicans regardless of whether you are talking about talking heads, elected officials or ran and file blogger are constitutionally incapable of acknowledging mistakes or acting with even a smidgen of patriotic integrity in the face of a perceived political gain. Bottom line: sir is that you and your kind are totally devoid of character. And for that you should feel shame!

I rarely complain here (whining works just as badly), but I’d cut KT some slack here even (especially) if you won’t. After previous posts and comments I need frivolity and levity more than ever. I made a mild plea for calm in KT’s Fl. 253 Lessons post (c.#26) – where’s your reply? – but only got crickets while others ranted on to replies galore, including rusty’s death wish for Nancy Pelosi (c.#28.1). I think that flight should be a police matter and a need to correct continuing errors of NOT sharing intel, nothing more, certainly not a political matter.
.
I’m not going to let terrorists run or ruin my life; you can let them run yours if you wish. Besides, you’ll probably see the R’s implode from the coming civil war between the Tea Baggers and the biz / elitists (the FL. senate battle will be next). That’s an alliance finally doomed to failure. And that aside, I doubt constantly kicking Karen (and Amy, and Jay, and…) will ever make her change her ways.

Wow!

Is that Dee, up there on the ledge?

Well there’s your solution right there. You just need to rev up that old Hatred Engine and let ‘er rip.

Group hug folks. Ommmmmm. Ommmmmmm. Lotus position everyone. That creaking noise is my knees.

How old are you 2thirdrocks? Exactly what we need more immature 13 year old boys on this site.
.
This is not the first time commenters have asked me to cut KT some slack and if they like serving as her comic relief in an otherwise tough day of stenographic journalism they are welcome to it. Perhaps if KT would just once own up to her own misjudgments I’d be far more charitable, but I’ve only ever seen her respond to her mistakes in three ways: 1) Ignore the accusation, 2) Respond to the accusation be answering a different question and pretending it was a sufficiently dismissive response to the actual accusation being made, or 3) ignore the accusation and make the next post a joke. What’s curious here is that no matter what I call into question, someone on this site comes to her defense because meanie Dee shines a light on the truth.
.
It’s funny, no matter how many times Joe Klein does his mea culpa for being wrong on Iraq, no matter how many times he calls out his colleagues for getting this stuff wrong including the latest narrative giving the GOP a pass while attacking the president, or even speaking truth to the left about the absurdity of bringing down health care even though he knows he’s going to engender a scathing response — he is roundly attacked because in many of the commenters eyes he’s an evil centrist or corporatist or Hoekstra acolyte or whatever egregious act he performed long ago. But somehow, no matter how many times KT gave the corporate funded astroturfers derail the health care debate, no matter how many times she admitted to allowing her coverage to be shaded by her own personal cynicism rather than the facts on the ground, no matter how many times she gets the facts wrong or dismisses commenters valid concerns by making the the butt of her jokes or colludes with her fellow female journalists to marginalize as in the case of Gore or more recently on the false higher tax meme being pushed by the GOP, she gets a pass she has not earned by any stretch of the imagination.

KT is a liberal. You Dee, are a liberal. I have very little use for either of you.
The difference I’ve notice however between the two of you is that occasionally, once in a while, KT has a thought that seems to be her own.

What Rush Limbaughs heart is trying to give up on.

You’re just trying to get me all excited about the possibility that Rush is ready to be welcomed into the exclusive country club that is Heaven. Oxys as big as pillows and all the girls are underage. Everybody is white, rich and nobody pays taxes. Lawnmowers are people, not things. Take me Jesus.
.
Not that way. Those things don’t exist in his Heaven.

Great news folks! Rush is alive and well and resting comfortably.

No Death Panels for Rush. I know Cadillac plans exist. Do Rolls Royce plans?

BTW, I went to see Avatar today. Wow. I’m going to try to get the wife to go to see it with me again on Monday. I’m not a big fan of the theaters (no pause button) and the movie is over 2 and 1/2 hours long, but the 3-D is amazing. It’s the first time I’ve ever been attracted to a 9 foot tall blue woman. The roads were bad and the place was only 1/3 full.

Happy New Year Everybody!
Come onnnn November!

Happy New Year from the left folks. I made it until 11 last night. I did have one drink. Off to AA for me I guess.

Going to check it out in a day or two. Since it’s only 90 minutes long, I’m guessing the run up won’t be so boring.

Here’s a rhetorical take:
.
Q: If a tall tree in a forest that I never travel through falls over, will I hear it?
.
A: No.

Resting comfortably on what?

53_3: It’s 160 minutes long. The plot is a little predictible, but the visuals alone are worth the money. I couldn’t talk my wife into going so I called a friend from work that couildn’t talk his wife into it either (what is it with women and sci-fi?). He met me there and we went in together. I took pop and he had a box of pizza under his coat. We waited until a silent part to pop our cans. That always gets a laugh.

Thanks for the smuggling tips sacred. Went with my wife and daughter to see Precious, which was very, very hard to take. There will be a lot of one-time-only viewers for that one…
.
The tix were about 12 bucks as were the two hotdogs I bought. Popcorn and drinks was another 15.
.
Those hotdogs were posilutely nasty. I couldn’t even finish them they were so bad. I’m thinking of trying to smuggle in fried chicken. I’m thinking those 1 gallon ziploc freezer bags, a pair of tweezers, and the plastic bottles of cold Coke. Their purses are big enough.
.
We can leave the bones under the seat…

“The roads were bad and the place was only 1/3 full.”
.
On Pandora?

The roads here are bad. It was 12 degrees and snowing out when I got up this morning. I took the dogs out and the snow was crunching. The little dog could walk on top and not break through. When we to see 2012 we stopped and got Chinese take-out to eat in the theater. The people next to us thought it was hilarious. We gave them an eggroll. There is an advantage to being big and having a coat with huge pockets. Theater food does suck.

When will your conditions improve? Hope soon. Reminds me of last year when we had a blizzard here.
.
It seems when it comes to adverse natural events, I’m oddly lucky. During the blizzard last year, there was a run on generators. None at any of the big stores. I was lucky enough to snap up the second to the last one at the hardware store across the street. I snapped it up.
.
Then comes last summer, and we have a heat wave, it was 111F one day, something I’ve never experienced up here. Of course, there was a run on air conditioners. Like the generators, there were none at any of the big stores except for one that just happened to be just right for our condo down at Eagle.
.
I kept my hand locked on the plastic strapping around the box that sucker was in until I got all the info I needed from the sales guy. People kept walking up to it/me and sizing up their chances. Nope. Must have decided that there was no way to pry my fingers from the strapping to cart it off.
.
Walking out of the store, I got plenty of looks. You would have thought I was walking out of there with Marilyn Monroe on my arm…

It looks like it might warm up to above freezing either tomorrow or the next day. We’ve had snow on the ground for 3 weeks. It has been above freezing on several days but it wasn’t enough to melt the snow. My wife and I are still grinning about me hitting 15K last year on a scratch-off and getting whole house AC and a new furnace. We got our first big electric bill this month but we think we still saved at least $300 if we counted what we would have spent on fuel oil. I hated that old furnace. It got to the point where I could take it apart and clean it in under two hours. I’m hoping that knowledge fades quickly.

On a side note, I’ve been collecting losing lottery tickets to offset my winnings for taxes. Yesterday afternoon we went to the store and on the way out I stuck a $10 in the machine to play a few tickets. I only won $6 but there was a pile of losing tickets laying on top of the trash can. I picked them up and stuck them in my coat pocket. My wife told me it was embarrassing to go out with me because I was rooting through the garbage. I wasn’t rooting. They were laying on top. There was a $5 Supercash ticket in the pile. There are 15 chances to win on the front and 5 mini games on the back. Whoever played the ticket must not have known there were games on the back. Two of the mini games has a $ symbol (instant winners) when I scratched them off. One was for $25 and the other was for $75. Think I didn’t rub that in?

“Think I didn’t rub that in?”
.
I don’t know how anyone wins those things, sacred. Let alone $15k. Heck, I’m so gun shy on that kind of stuff I go to the casino and play the penny machines $5 at a time – the most I’ve won is $40 and I usually come home with about $20 less than I start with, which is my whole budget for the night.
.
Call me chicken, or, what?
.
Then again, you do seem to live life on the edge, baiting the wife and MIL with the regularity you do.
.
Don’t forget what happened to the crocodile hunter guy. Got to remember, crocks and spouses have other similarities, too, now:
.
They both have that infamous “death roll” where they’ll twist off and garf down whatever they grab hold of. Let’s hope your luck doesn’t run out…

Just thought I’d mention that the pair of tweezers referred to in 18.6 were included only because I like Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
.
Call me really old fashioned. It’s not like my Grandpa’s music…

53_3: I’ve always been lucky on scratch-offs. I keep track of how much I win vs. how much I play. In the 6-7 years that I’ve been playing I’d never finished up more than $2100 for the year or less than $1200…until 2009.
I played almost $5400 this year (about 3 times as much as I’d ever spent in one year before) but I won just under $26,000. I think last year was my once in a lifetime streak. I hit $500 twice within 3 weeks last spring on $1 tickets. I hit the raffle at work too and won $800. I bought one $5 ticket.

I’m a big fan of Zappa myself. I went to see him perform a couple of times. He did put on one heck of a show.

It was 4 degrees with a windchill of -12 when I got up this morning. It’s not supposed to get past 28 for a week. Brrrrrr.
