it must mean:

Bacon is Over.

One thing I've been nervous about asking: Under this bill, isn't whoever demanded a telecom break the law STILL subject to prosecution?

One thing I miss from KDE (a Linux desktop environment,) now that I've got a Mac Mini is that in its bit at the bottom of the screen, KDE displays a thumbnail of each actual screen, and the Dock's icon for Mac's Spaces does not.

So in Spaces, if you don't recall which screen has a particular window, you have to hunt for it.

... and what do POWs dream about? All-American USDA Prime beauty queens! A "rodeo queen" to dump the wife for, and now a "beauty queen" to run with.

Miers turned out to be a decoy, and her nomination was withdrawn.

The Repubs could turn Palin down.

Her outfit, plus that hair, made her look like Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous.

(And from a previous comment, I learn that Laura Bush cost only thirty six hundred dollars?)

I mean, look at his left eye in that photo, and others from that event.

Hey, have you worked with Margriet Oostveen? She has a neat article here on Salon, today.

I'm wondering if this wedding is Palin's attempt to insure the McCain campaign doesn't dump her.

Re: Remember, the Royal Family was ...

No, I refuse to remember any of that crap. (hands over ears) LALALALALA I'M NOT LISTENING!!

It's actually a professional smile she has going there.

Biden should say something like, "In broadcasting school, they teach their future sportscasters how to grin and run out the clock while saying nothing, for all those times when the control room messes up the tape of the game."

Yeah, Vic you evil pig, you're stuck in a cube farm now, JUST LIKE THE REST OF US!

It was an ending on a par with Raiders of the Lost Ark.

(Addressing the world in general, not just the posters here.)

Frankly, most of you people bore the hell outta me.

And social situations also remind me that I bore the hell outta most of you people.

Call me if there's a fire or some communal emergency; otherwise I'll be in my cave.

... I will make it my mission to insert extra babies into nativity scenes!

"Virgin gives birth to quints! Film at eleven!"

About twenty years ago, a friend asked in a letter, "Did you get the new Eno box?"

He was just referring to a collection of albums, but for a while, I thought he meant an electronic gadget -- that's what we usually called "box"es -- and I spent some happy moments imagining what an interactive sound device produced by Brian Eno would be like.

Next time you read about "micro payments" as the future of our economy, remember one class of payments normally left out of the description. I mean the payments to us whenever a carrier sells our data, as described in the article.

I'm mortally embarrassed at the subject/verb non-agreement error on the title of my above post. So please, people, make it scroll off the screen by posting something!

Thanks.

... perhaps the logical next approach is to suggest we kick it UP a notch, if only to force WoD defenders to explain their reasoning. Let's find new stuff to outlaw.

Me, I can't resist chocolate. I will eat any chocolate in my home at the fastest rate my mouth and gullet can manage, well beyond the point of sickness. So I've been advocating that chocolate be outlawed (see my signature's link.)

It does have psychoactive properties, just ask any chocolate producer's PR people. Then talk to any cable news health person: Obesity is an epidemic, as is diabetes. So chocolate matches all the requirements for prohibition, no?

Re: "most high-profile transgender transition yet"

Switched On Bach topped the charts. What's this Bono offspring done?

I still reserve the right to make fun of this person's mother's numerous elective surgeries.

The rich ARE different from the rest of us.

He's defected to Venezuela.

I have a MIDI setup, and if I could get my playing routed (via Abelton Live, for instace) to iTunes' Visualizer in real time, I might never leave home again.

So basically, I want to route the sound output from another app into iTunes.

Yes, I've heard about JackOSX, and have it installed. But iTunes doesn't have a sound input, or if it does, it's well hidden and nobody on the WWW seems to be talking about it.

Next time the issue comes up, say, "How about fetal transplants? Have some of your side's women agree to having existing fetuses transplanted into THEM as an alternative to abortion, and these women would take the babies to term, give birth to them and raise them!"

(I'd love to see him try to round up the volunteers!)

When's the indictment coming?

As a long-time fan of science fiction, I've refused to adopt the industry term. So I'd long referred to this station as the Skiffy Network anyway. Then I noted that another fan -- I forget who -- was calling it Skiffy Tube. (Google it, to find whoever came up with that.)

Anyway, I continue to expect little or no science in the new Screaming Yellow F You channel. And if we're going to be silly, why not do silliness WELL? I betcha if they hired some of my fellow SubGeniuses to write their monster-of-the-week movies, it'd be fun for everybody!

(For the record: given a choice, I'll take the wrestling over the "ghost hunting" any day.)

If I were Stewart, I'd try to get Redstone on my show, holding a big list of his forbidden topics.

This line, in a recent comment brought it into better focus for me: KO is enemy #1 to the establishment/corporatocracy/imperialists

Was that plug paid for by General Electric? KO's salary is.

(And no, I'm not on O'Reilly's side -- I consider him a thug. But Olbermann isn't scaring anybody.)
