McCain Backers Testosterone Levels Dropped After Loss Obama's Nobel Peace Prize: How Did That Happen? Obama Song: The Sad, Sorry Truth Conservatives Give - But Only to Their Churches Getting All Wee Weed Up Right Wing Poster Boy Gladney Needs Insurance Reform Sitting Here Awaiting the Obama Presser Anxiously A Tale of Two Kings: Jackson and Presley Fourth of July Weekend Open Invite What Does Coleman v. Franken Tell Us About Bush v. Gore? November 08 December 08 January 09 February 09 March 09 April 09 May 09 June 09 July 09 August 09 September 09 October 09 November 09 Sloganeering, platitiudes, 'gotcha' politicking - everyone recognizes it and everyone complains about it when it's aimed at them. It takes real dedication to avoid it. The way to proceed, I believe, is to avoid the desire to be humorous or cute in the midst of a serious political discussion. Avoid negative mental habits, fear or hate mongering and demonizing the opposition. Remember the truth in physics is simple; in politics it's complicated. If you can't name your views, the opposition's views and a third view, then you don't adequately understand the topic. The posts here will, at times, be lengthy but I will also support them with ample references, usually in the form of links, so that the reader will be left with more than just my position on a topic, but hopefully some information beyond that.

I"m using a Mac. How come I have such difficulty getting images into a posting? posted by

Dirtyshirt, I emailed you back, did you get it? In order to use the rich text editor's image inserter tool (the mountain icon), you have to have your images hosted somewhere on the web and have URLs to insert to pull from. Now, different things can cause images not to surface (and on [edited to read:] Firefox 3 on a Mac, I don't even see those red X boxes here)--your source could have embedded code to prevent someone from pulling bandwith from them in this way, or some other problem with the hosting of the image (for example, images from emails often expire). posted by

Bush's speechwriter calls on the media and the rightwingers to stop the nonsense on the teleprompter. http://www.realclearpolitic...

vanityfair: another response from left field! glad to be back!!
You feel baited by a little reminder that the teleprompter is universal in today's Wasington? Well, okay. One might even claim that I could have seen that coming, as you seem baitable by almost anything. At least anything I post. So, since I decided to post, obviously you feel baited.
I'm sorry. posted by

Hey, dirtyshirt, I don't have a horse in this race ... I have never cared one iota about anyone's use of a teleprompter and my comments on these blogs reflect that. That you would target Republicans and be so sassy about it ... yeah, I'd call that a tasty little morsel for a conservative or two. No need for apologies. I'm honored to not see the "thread locked" message at the end of your blog ;) Edit: I have to rescind my comment about Obama's teleprompter. I do recall making one comment that I thought it would be funny if it failed, but that was a long time ago. My bad. posted by

As far as I know, when a user is blocked from another's blog the comment box is absent and the message "thread locked" appears in its place. At least, that's how it used to be. I have only been blocked from one blog (ConservativeCowgirl33) and that was the case back then. Read more about the subject, if you like. posted by

Wow, somebody out there uses IE on their Mac? Why in the world would you do such a thing? That would be like telling your ISP to slow down your transfer rate just... you know...just cuz. Even windows users should be using Safari. It's way freakin faster. Did I mention that it's free? posted by

I actually go back and forth between Safari and Firefox. If you have a quartz enabled videocard, the latest version of Safari is pretty cool. I have an older mac at home, so I can't reallly take advantage of the bitchin new features, so it's mostly firefox here. I'm certainly not complaining. It's not like I have to worry about viruses or anything. posted by

I've got Firefox onboard, but use it only when I really need functionality not on Safari. Firefox will usually have the add-ons that will do the trick, but I dislike the continual updating.

You know, there are various ways of measuring recovery and several of them are kind of gross, so let me just say that indications are good and leave it at that. I have gone for 6-7 hours without pain relievers several times in as many days. Didn't mean to, I just slept through the appointed hour. I was able to walk today without dragging one leg behind me like Quasimodo - for a while. I was able to pick up my baby boy and I played (wrestled) with him for a little while today.
All in all, a very good day. Thanks for asking.

That's rough dirtyshirt. Glad you had a good day. The last one and the cheney one were pretty funny. I don't know if I can muster an LOL though. I don't want to humor you.
I hear you guys about all the updates, but in the grand scheme of things, I'd rather see lots of updates to keep the hackers out than like let's say microsoft that is too little too late. posted by

I know this is exposing myself as the near computer illiterate that I am but I too thought Safari was only for my iPhone. Guess I never put any thought into it (evidently) but now I'm anxious to play with it. Thanks! See I learn something on these blogs each time I sit at the computer.
