RE: "not without my laptop" & "In case of an emergency"

RE: JIM3CH, not without my laptop - enjoy your valued photos, files, etc... in the last 30 seconds before you immolate...

RE: ~~~~, In case of an emergency - When seated in an exit row, you probably won't be willing to assist others in the event of an emergency - but you'd still tell the cabin crew that you would.

Aren't you the same asshat that attaches your 'Knee Defender" to the seat in front of you, reclines your seat all the way back, and then gets up and pushes hard against my facing seatback just as the stewardess has placed my coffee on my tray table?

I bet you can't wait until they allow cellphones to be used in-flight.

depends how long you've been together

Your particular circumstance has the potential to become a heavy issue - some people simply can't handle it.

How long have you been together? You won't really know whether or not you can trust him enough until you know him better.

If everything else is comfortable between you, don't worry about it.

Just because you love someone, you may owe them, but you don't own them; they may owe you, but they don't own you.

When you know him better and trust him better, tell him.

If you never become that comfortable, and everything else is comfortable between you, don't worry about it.

If, eventually, things don't work out, and you come to believe that your sexuality was a factor, you might tell him then, if you ever really loved him.

You probably would owe him that much. Until then, don't worry about it.

See how easy it is to write this column?

the reason they're folding? blackmail.

obviously, the telcos and NSA have dirt on these guys.

imagine if you are a senator or congressman and you receive an anonymous phone call that is a recording of a conversation you never want anyone to hear because it will ruin your career...

or perhaps it is an email you sent long ago...

you know, discussing the shady land deal, talking to the hidden girlfriend, arranging for the delivery of some really good s**t...

some of our erstwhile representatives have obviously gotten the message...

Original article: The K Chronicles

i was gonna say

I heard "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo on the grocery store Muzak the other day and thought, "that's hilarious, a Danny Elfman tune from before he was famous..."

can't really top that first post, though...

Original article: I Like to Watch

Forget FOX, CBS, NBC

Time to leave the broadcast and cable networks (and their commercials) behind altogether and wander in the wild world web of free content!

Forget "The WB"; I prefer "on-demand" programming from "The P2P"...

tomreedtoon, remember when...

... HBO programming was delivered to each cable system on a videocassette, began broadcasting at 7PM and concluded at 11:30PM?

... USA Network would show new wave / avant garde video on "Night Flight" from late Friday until 6AM with the likes of Frank Zappa, Devo, Thompson Twins and The Residents? You never knew what you might see, and it was always surprising and entertaining.

... MTV didn't have enough commercial sponsors, so they would stitch together 50s-era industrial films and old NASA / sci-fi animation set to synth-pop and broadcast 10 minutes of it to fill out the unsponsored time? Many times these were better than the music videos.

... SPN (Satellite Program Network) would broadcast ANYTHING that the sponsor would pay for, and a test pattern when nobody was paying?

... People would run after the cable guy driving through their neighborhood and flag him down to ascertain when they would be getting hooked up? They called 'em "truck chasers". Back then, everyone LOVED cable tv.

Original article: Ron Paul is a baby elephant

The only candidate with character and integrity...

...doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected, which speaks volumes about where the United States is today, and where it is ultimately headed.

I don't agree with major aspects of what Ron Paul proposes, but I believe that he is the only person who might save us from ourselves...

Original article: Harry Reid's FISA games

life in a police state

it's obvious, as I've mentioned before, that someone in the NSA has the goods on Reid and other politicos, either an embarrassing phone call recording or email, or other evidence 'gathered' electronically, and they've let him know that if he does not cave in, they will expose him...

welcome to life in a fascist corporate state...

Shhhh! Don't break any more Huckabee exposé stories...

...until he is nominated, THEN you can let loose. Rumor has it that this is Hillary and Barack's secret plan... a sucker punch for glass-jaw Huckabee,

Monday, December 17, 2007 05:21 PM

this is a lame ass post

David Huckabee's psychological issues have little bearing on Mike Huckabee's qualifications to be president, even if hanging dogs is clearly indicative of a troubled individual.

Giuliani's wife was not running for office last time I checked. Stapling dogs and euthanizing them isn't very compassionate, but then this behavior is nothing surprising from the former secret lover of a guy who exploited the tragedy of September 11th for his own self-promotion.

The tale of Romney's dog is really reaching. I was expecting to read that he threw the dog from the car, left it behind, or beat it to death.

This entire post mostly smacks of attempted guilt by association, and is only going to make Salon look silly for such sensationalized "reporting."

Nothing to see here, move along...
