"...she is signing a stack of papers and owning her first house, with no money down! She was SO excited..."

Um... maybe it's me, but what drug was she on when she thought that buying a house with NMD was a good idea?

There are days when I feel that efforts to protect people from their own stupidity are hopelessly futile.

My only hope is that fleecing the ignorant simply because it's possible will eventually fall out of fashion. I've just FedEx'd a gross of long-johns and a pair of ice skates to Lucifer, just in case.

Please.. spare us your crocodile tears, Zionist dog!

...at the egregious bullshit that passes for reportage at NPR (a nice comfy lap for the Zionist dogs)

This morning's coverage of the conflict was a beaut.

Anyone else care to weigh in?

...when Shelly Winters, et al, are making their way UPWARDS towards the upended and inverted bow of the ship (and their eventual rescue), and they pass another group of hollow-eyed and very shell-shocked people going the opposite way?

Despite our heros best attempts, the latter group, zombie-like, continued trudging inexorably downward, to their inevitable doom.

I have a set of slightly used 4AWG amorphous electrolytic silver speaker cables. A real steal at only $175.00 / ft.

Interested?

Seriously- as one of the few degreed EE's who also is a sound engineer and recordist, I'll agree that the vast majority of modern recordings sound like crap, but blaming CD redbook, or MP3 is a fools errand.

Most modern recordings sound like crap because they have had the ever-living shit compressed out of them when they were mastered.

If you are creating (!) music for consumption via ipods and earbuds, and you want to be noticed, it has to sound LOUD. Let in any kind of dynamic range and the soft passages will be drowned out by the ambient noise present during your jog down the boulevard.

Ask anyone who masters music for a living. Everyone wants the compression. It's sad, but that's where the blame belongs.

I have excellent hearing, and I swear during any number of double-blind tests I can't tell the difference. In fact, many of my live recordings were made direct to 2-track digital with MP3 44.1/320. I've even dared to make a few at 44.1/128. As far as I'm concerned, that's not where the money is. Just sharing my experience- I'm too old to get into pissing matches with so-called audiophiles. It's kind of like arguing with someone who is afraid to use a microwave oven or swears by AirBorne when they get the sniffles.

...a nice ice floe with HR's name on it. Send him on a long overdue bon voyage on the inky black Winter seas.

"After September 11th Bush had nearly every American supporting him"

To say nothing about much of the rest of the world, too, lest we forget.

"oh and quit the global warming bullshit

nobody buys it anymore.

we ought to be focused on all the OTHER, actual and REAL assaults on the environment, not on some phony money grabbing scheme cooked up by kids with science kits."

HAHAHAHA!! And THIS coming from someone who is afraid to use a microwave oven because he doesn't know how it works.

Geez...

Um, all y'all were spouting the same intellectually dishonest, half-baked bullshit during the entire '08 presidential campaign. In case you didn't notice, the GOP had their collective ass handed to them on Nov 6, despite your lofty and persuasive oratory.

Why on earth would you expect anyone to buy the same horshit now? Repeating it ad nauseum doesn't make it any more true.

Your Big Lie has been forcefully repudiated. Nobody is listening anymore. You're done.

You'll all eventually get through the First Stage: Denial.

Maybe.

"Hey progressor did you ever hear of the 1st amendment? How about that "free speech" thing? Just you and your cabal are allowed to write and speak and express yourselves? Everyone having a differing veiw is insane? You would do well in Cuba, scanning the crowds looking for that "traitor" and hauling him or her off to jail for "re-education". How about this: Grow the f--k up!!!"

Oh that's RICH! Dragging out the First Amendment with zero understanding of it's purpose or meaning...

...which of course, brings up the inevitable comparisons to Cuba...

...and ending it all in a brilliant, O'Reilly-esque, STFU!

LOL

You guys kill me. Millions of exploding heads have been great entertainment!

Troll on.

...shorter Groenhagen:

"If you can't Dazzle 'em with Brilliance, Baffle 'em with Bullshit."

Did someone leave the lid off the popcorn popper, or is that the sound of millions of tiny heads exploding?

...this is like yelling at a dog for barking.

I was addressing Joe Conason in my last comment, in case your were wondering, but now I'll address you.

Am I to understand that you are upset by some kind of "statistical anomaly" and that anomaly constitutes "proof" that the Franken victory is fraudulent?

OK, I'll bite. I'm just a retarded lefty, so please educate me in the statistical matter.

While you're at it, please also explain how that is relevant to MN statutes regarding election certifictions and recounts.

Finally, please explain to us how MN failed to carry out the letter of the law in this case.

Try not to strain yourself too much, OK?

YEAH!

And MY dad can beat up YOUR dad!

...sounds just like a freshly-poured bowl of Rice Krispies!
