The most technologically savvy US Presidential campaign in ever! evidently wasn’t aware that NTSC and PAL are different standards, that there are a number of different region codes, and that some countries haven’t adopted the US standard.
— Or maybe they were aware, and they just didn’t much care.
Chant it with me now: DOWN WITH AMERICAN CULTURAL IMPERIALISM! LET NETFLIX BURN! SMASH THE MACHINERY OF DIGITAL VIDEO GLOBALIZATION!
Jesus. This is the guy who is going to bring the US back to respectability? Because so far, he may as well be wearing big floppy shoes a red nose and trying to stuff a record number of his “team” into a Volkswagon Beetle.
What an idiot. Dumbest prez ever.
We should make an effort to find out what offends the British and then avoid saying it, I think.
Obama is a progressive, and black. Nothing he says can be considered to offend anyone. Didn’t you get the memo?
Good luck getting this past our filters. This will remain in the right-wing blogosphere where any negative information about the current administration will be contained. Oh yeah another article on Michelle’s arms is due out soon be sure to catch it.
If that Gordon Brown was a patriot he’d have an American DVD player.
Journolist,
Shoot me an email. We’re coordinating…
This would make for great comedy if the stakes weren’t so high.
But if you don’t know how to spot a self-serving narcissist, you get what you deserve, America.
I have not been technically “with it” for many years, but I knew that. This is precious; it is icing on the cake. It is unbelievable. Clowns indeed!
al, in this admin never put down to stupidity that you can attribute to malice.
Barry and Michelle snubbed Browns and their kids and no amount of “oh, we’re too busy, Barry’s so tired, yadda yadda yadda” is credible. And they did it because they can. The Obama’s can rub the Brit’s nose in it because they know the US MSM refuses to cover it.
And if a British PM’s child cries over a $15 White House gift shop helicopter and no NYTimes’ reporter was there to hear it, did it happen?
Too much. I’m just speechless.
hey why dont you guys just lay off. Baracky was on sportscenter picking brackets for march madness. He’s got important things to do so just LAY OFF.
Unvetted President. Can you really blame him for thinking he could get away with all the same shit even after the media and a culture of identity politics and esteem propelled him into the White House?
?
Hahaha! I knew it. Barack Obama: International Man of Sophistry.
This is not funny. It’s surreal. And frightening.
All that matters is that we have a black President, a female Speaker of the House, and a powerful, openly gay Congressman shaping this country’s future. What could possibly go wrong?
Sucks. Now Gordon can’t watch Soul Plane.
He lived in Indonesia, you know.
I think we ought to get him to go looking for a left-handed smokeshifter, and snipe hunting.
Dan, he’s got an exotic middle name too. The middle east will love us.
Ordinarily I’d call this a “man-caused disaster” but since Teleprompter Jesus has decreed that to be the new term for “terrorism” I don’t know what to call it.
No, this really isn’t funny. I’ve already been through the Carter years and even that worthless piece of shit wasn’t this entitled so early in his term.
The Anchoress runs down the theater of Chaos and Cajolery to which we’ve been the slack-jawed witnesses.
The Chinese are right: it is a curse to live in interesting times.
Barack Obama’s Teleprompter’s Blog
Yeah, but he’s got a sweet 3-point shot. And he’s black. and Chrissy Matthews loves him. So it’s all cool, bro’.
His wife’s a Klingon so that wraps up the geek and gamer vote … the get a life vote … the Trek convention bunny vote … the middle age slash fiction writer vote … self hating human vote … waiting for aliens to take me away and make me their pet vote …
Chinese are right about this, too: “When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set.” — Lin Yutang
h/t Anchoress
Nest up they’re putting up the New Homeland Security headquarters on the
grounds of St. Elizabeth psychiatric
hospital, home to Ezra Pound, and John Hinckley among other actors
What makes this funny is the way the Euros could not wait for the next coming. Gordon was the leader of the fan club.
So Obama gave him 25 mini-frisbees. What’s wrong with Frolf?
His wife’s a Klingon
But have you seen those arms?
TOTUS.
heh.

Did he convey the level of anger you hoped for regarding what you told him to say about AIG?
This was my bad. It’s tough to insert instructions, like [FROWN] or [SMILE], because in the heat of the moment, Big Guy might actually read it aloud, like “I am sorry [frown]
BWHAHAHA

I’m so glad the ADULTS are in charge now.

One more desent into the bowels of hell.Please ,Mr. Obama, go to Camp David for a week. Give our Nation a rest from “stuck on stupid…”
Because so far, he may as well be wearing big floppy shoes a red nose and trying to stuff a record number of his “team†into a Volkswagon Beetle.
You mean like this or this or this.
Or is that Jeremiah Wright. I can’t keep things straight anymore.
Hey America, this is the guy you trust to run “Universal” ObamaCare?
Here’s the thing: If this was so blatantly obvious to us 6 months ago, how in the hell did this guy get elected? Did America just get collectively dumber? I’m not sure, since even “our betters” like Brooksies and Frumsies and Buckleys told us he was grand? Were people simply not paying attention and just got completely caught up in the moment? If so, let’s NEVER let this happen again. Lessons must be learned by all.
Never fall for the “stupid” excuse. Evil is in like Flynn.
If this was so blatantly obvious to us 6 months ago, how in the hell did this guy get elected?

yo adriane @26, i resemble that remark. >.< i may be gamer geek, convention bunny, middle aged slasher weeaboo, and a self hating alien lover who needs to get a life. i *still* didn’t vote for the teleprompter douchebag for emperor. because i have a brain. and a 401k.
and fwiw, i wish i had the logs of the ingame public chat channels i observed before the election. from what i saw there were lots of pro-obambi gamers. but there were also a LOT of anti-obambi gamers. and some of their arguments over who to vote for (and why) were fierce. which leads me to say again: i don’t think most ‘conservatives’ or republicans have a fucking clue who the potential receptive audience for their message is.
also, please understand that this isn’t personal or really about you. your comment just set me off today. because it’s something i encounter far too frequently on blogs: rightward leaning people being horribly condescending and dismissive about ‘my people’ (which includes being a former ‘elite’ academic, a new yorker, a gamer geek, a pot and porn libertarian, etc.)
but hey, keep focusing on how to make your arguments ever weaker to accommodate your actual mendoucheous enemies’ dishonest demands while alienating allies and potential allies. cuz that seems to be working out really well for ya’ll.
*sigh*
Did you see Gran Torino? The scene where Clint surprises the gangbanger, drags him out on the lawn and kicks the crap out of him? Clint’s character represents America. The punk is like…
a loser in other words
Before he entertains leaders from France or Russia will someone get around to explaining SECAM?
So Obama gave him 25 mini-frisbees.
DVDs can also be turned into very nice Christmas ornaments.
As for Frolf – I went to Miami of Ohio which had a frolf COURSE. Oye.
But, no, this isn’t funny. It is just staggering, really. Epic fail. I thought he was going to be the first prezzident of the world?
I hope those coasters work properly for British beverages.
It’s not PAL vs. NTSC. According to the article, the DVD player displayed “wrong region” error. That is because DVDs come in 5 different region codes for different parts of the world so that studios can roll theatrical movies out without worrying imported DVD movies ruin their bottom line. North America is Region 1, Japan and Europe are Region 2, etc. When a DVD is marked with Region 0, that means it is playable on all players. Of course Mr. 0 himself can’t understand that when he gives DVDs, they should be Region 0.
Funny but even my laptop would play 5 Quai bootleg DVD’s while in China with people walkin in front of the movie while you watched. Epic Fail.
#44. I’m the geekette who put the Boy and His Dog quote from the short story and NOT the movie into Petey, Installment 2.
The observation was meant to be humorous.
I am sorry that you’re having a bad day. Other than telling you, ‘It could be worse and will be very shortly’ I have nothing else to offer for your peace of mind.
PS.
The movie quote would have been: ‘she was a woman of good taste’.
thanks for clearing that up adrienne. :) no harm, no foul. and like it said it’s not personal. but yeah it’s something i see a couple of times a week, at least, cruising my favorite blogs. and it’s not usually meant to be homorous, but SRZ BSNS. mostly i don’t let it annoy me. but it is a sore spot and sometimes it does.
also, always nice to meet another geekette. =D

But no shift key.
Louchette I am playing COD Word at War right now.
I definately would not classify myself as a geek though. Why the hell would you want to call yourself a geek or a “gamer”?
i have a shift key. originally i stopped using it as a protest against the constant CAPSLOCK OF RAGE!!1!!!1 on a music listserve i was on. and the habit stuck.
But I can type properly when called upon to do so (and 60 wpm too.) I simply choose not to use it. Just to be bratty. NYA!
I always wondered why they gave you two shift keys when they only gave you one backspace key, ’cause I think the backspace key is like sooooo much more important. It allows you to write something and then think, “hey, did what I just write have the potential to insult somebody in a way I can’t even begin to understand, but should know nonetheless?” And then you could have the choice of not one but TWO backspace keys to completely elimiate that racist crap from the inter tubes….forever. Never to offend a poor old black man, or a somewhat more well-off dog.
Just think of the racial healing if we only had another backspace key…
…and were more, uh shall we say, shiftless.
?
mr. pink you make me envious. my gaming rig is in the shop right now, so no gaming for me till it returns. i am however wearing my ‘I duped this shirt’ t-shirt.
my gaming rig is in the shop right now
Real gaming geeks fix their own boxes.
If you could hear how my girl bitched when I play then I doubt you would be as envious.
Louchette I am playing COD Word at War right now
You unlock the nazi zombies yet? My husband made it to level 22 last Saturday, with the assistance of my loverly 9 y/o daughter. He says he’s retired. He’s seen the promised land. I give him another few days before his itchy trigger finger strikes.
What MMOs are you playing now, louchette?
No Carin I can not seem to gather the patience to finish the actual game I rather team kill everyone and hear them whine on the microphone.
funny!- i know how he’ll screw-up the country
and yada yada yada he’ll be gone
but so far this guy is comedy gold
gold i tells ya
4 more years
4 more years
hit the hi-hat gibbsy
tom: i’ll play operation with a tower any time. but the track pad on my laptop died. and that is beyond my skill. and i know my limits. =P
and mr. pink: that is how i got into gaming. back in the days of text MUDs, maybe like 1990 or 1991. my hubby was totally addicted to this swedish MUD called nuclear war. and i was a MUD widow. T_T then one night i heard myself berating him and i realized i sounded exactly like my mother. *shudder* if you replaced ‘that stupid game’ with golf. so i asked him to show me what was so fun about it. 6 months later we were running a guild together. and the rest as they say…
My son beat it NOT playing X-box live, since I’m a mean mommy and I won’t let him. I’m telling you … once they unlocked it they never played COD again. It was Nazi Zombies 24-7.
these days… mostly EQ2. i’ve got a nice little guild there. and i love the crafting system. even since they nerfed it to hell and back. but i also still maintain characters in 2nd life (since back when it was linden world,) and AO. my favorite thing lately isn’t adventuring or dungeon diving, but decorating the uber raiders’ homes. in particular i specialize in building 3D trompe l’oeil, like waterfalls and fish tanks, from ordinary house furnitures. been doing that off and on since the UO days. fwiw, the item vocabulary in EQ2 really rocks for that activity. and the devs give the house decorators so much love. it’s really a treat to work with them.
Ok, heads up. I’m about to turn off the ‘puter. It is time for everyone to dial in. Sigh. Fraking eastern time.
I always wondered why they gave you two shift keys when they only gave you one backspace key, I think the backspace key is like sooooo much more important.
excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall… Tom, do you believe touch-typing was invented in the late 80’s?
Back when I first learned touch-typing, oh, about the time sabre-toothed tigers became extinct in California … was on a manual typewriter with no letters/numbers on the keys. The goal was to type without ever looking at your fingers, listen for the bell at the end of the line, and MAKE NO MISTAKES. The backspace key was rarely used, save for centering titles on the page (go to the middle of the page, then backspace once for every two letters/spaces in the title).
I love computers because I can compose right on the screen with little correction, but I also know that my typing skills are not what they were when I had to do everything on typewriters … multiple copies with carbon paper and tissue-thin colored copy paper.
Obama was apparently none too fond of Britain well prior to his ascendancy to the most powerful man in the world. Baldilocks explained the details in historical context here-
http://www.luoamerican.com/baldilocks/a_little_history/
This doesn’t excuse Obama from pissing off one of our closest current military and economic allies, but at least now you know what’s probably the reason.
I’m personally more pissed off about the Churchill bust getting sent back then the stupid DVD thing. The press has ignored both of them pretty well on this side though -way to keep that fourth estate independent guys!
I played FFXI and WoW but get tired of the sole focus on end game, everybody just races to the level cap and misses what I think is all the fun, I like leveling characters and exploring the game world all the way up. Might have to check EQ2 out, what server are you on and does it still have an active leveling community?
i like how the discussion suddenly veered away from Teleprompter Jesus’ foibles to gaming. sortof like the aig thing. oh yea gaming the axelrod
So PM Brown should re-gift the DVD’s to ?
excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall… Tom, do you believe touch-typing was invented in the late 80’s?
I dunno Darleen, was it older than sarcasm?
It allows you to write something and then think, “hey, did what I just write have the potential to insult somebody in a way I can’t even begin to understand, but should know nonetheless?†And then you could have the choice of not one but TWO backspace keys to completely elimiate that racist crap from the inter tubes….forever. Never to offend a poor old black man, or a somewhat more well-off dog.
You know I really didn’t mean a word of that?
Christ, I don’t know why I even bother…

fuck you communist
sorry Tom,
I just come across so many time people who just assume history began right about the time they hit high school.
Which is one of the reasons I think we have a Teen Fanzine Prezz.
i’m on antonia bayle server in EQ2. it’s the official RP ONLY!!!!11!! server. and there is a lot of RP happening there. but there is still a very active leveling/raiding community. one of the nicest things about EQ2 is that you can disable leveling (and with some degree of specificity, like only disabling adventuring XP, or only disabling questing XP or status writ XP.)
when we first started playing together i disabled adventuring experience so that i wouldn’t out XP my hubby, as he played fewer hours. but as time went by i realized that disabling XP was actually pretty cool, as it allowed me to really explore all the areas and narrative story lines before they become greyed out to me.
At a visit to at the Edison electric car factory in California, President TelePrompTer told the employees that “A Model T got better gas mileage than today’s SUVâ€.
Unless I completely misheard Him, He also said that Spain got 30% of its [electrical?] energy from wind – a very big Lie either way.
You know I really didn’t mean a word of that?
Christ, I don’t know why I even bother…
If it helps, Tom, I always wondered at the inherent unfairness of it all. And, yes, I do know how to type.
You know, I’m amazed that a ton of young folks (who live on the ‘puter”) don’t actually type. My bro, who is an engineer and works on computers all day long is a (fast) hunt and pecker.
social engineer in the haxxor sense. not the dirty socialist sense. and damn proud of it.
jeez.
Hey router, who peed in your cheerios?
this guy blogs about intentionalism. you said “social engineer” you want me to read or hear it as “social engineer in the haxxor sense” fuck you communist.
excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall… Tom, do you believe touch-typing was invented in the late 80’s?
Good God, did you even read the rest of the comment before blowing your gasket?
It was a freaking JOKE! And a not even remotely subtle one at that.
Take a pill.
It’s not PAL vs. NTSC.
Right. Very likely a region coding issue, since most PAL players will decode NTSC discs.
If you get the proper DVD player and flash it with new firmware, you can make it play any region, any format, PAL, NTSC, Babylonian cuneiform tablets, Easter Island Rongo Rongo script, it’s all good.
Or so (ahem) I’ve been told.
The answer may lie in a random 2 minutes of The View
Yeah, or just watch this (that show is hit or miss, but this bit was good).
Hey router, who peed in your cheerios?
why should i like any type of social engineer including Teleprompter Jesus?
He also said that Spain got 30% of its [electrical?] energy from wind
He’s just making shit up at this point. Won’t work for much longer.
He also said that Spain got 30% of its [electrical?] energy from wind – a very big Lie either way.
And you will never, ever hear Him talk about how France gets 87% of its electrical power from nuclear power plants.

i AM a classic liberal. and i AM on your side. not the other, dirty socialist, side.

True story.
I bet when Sarkozy shows up at the white house, he will get a cucumber, and his son will get a nice, ripe tomato.
‘Cuz you just don’t give a 12 year old a cucumber, it may signal the wrong intent, even if he is French.
By the way, I would guess when Brown mentioned wanting to watch Psycho, it was probably for research purposes…
He’s just making shit up at this point. Won’t work for much longer.
Somehow I don’t think those workers at the Electric Car Plant were reassured by O! mentioning wind as the source of power for their product.
i got a really good joke..
tune into the tonight show with jay leno
Yo, now-a-days it is hard to tell.
Pardon me while I blow my brains out with a good old revolver.
None of this newfangled “semi-auto” crap for me.
’cause you know, I’m old school like that.
I bet most of the kids today couldn’t even load a six-shot smith and wesson, let alone field strip it.

Fuses are rather short today. Yowza. Stay focused people.
We got it router, you don’t like gamers. How about you shut the fuck up now.
Pretty well. Used to grow it in my backyard garden in the Woodley Park neighborhood.
I don’t have a short fuse, it has taken about half a dozen posts by this asshole to piss me off.
I’m not a huge fan of gamers, but as long as someone isn’t gaming while I’m interested in other things … I don’t care. Some people game, others OD on hanging at the gym.
I hear ya, B Moe. router is looking like hammer material tonight.
Well, then maybe Mr. BMoe I wasn’t talking to you:)
Shit, it’s like my kids. I can’t yell at one w/o everyone else chiming in that they didn’t do nuthing.
Hey, Carin, I don’t have a short fuse either, dammit!!!!
You’re going on my short list, cranky.
You’ve been a bad, bad boy …
So, are you going to…
Never mind.
yes let us have a self proclaimed “social engineer” hijack a thread on the idiot @1600 pa ave? i don’t like AXELROD GAMERS.
I would like to say that he’s that stupid, but unfortunately I think he & his Klingon bride are just that hateful and arrogant. And even worse they have managed to find a bunch of people like them to surround themselves with.
“Jesus. This is the guy who is going to bring the US back to respectability? Because so far, he may as well be wearing big floppy shoes a red nose and trying to stuff a record number of his “team†into a Volkswagon Beetle.”
He forgot to close the far side door. It’s driving him crazy.
hey any AIG GAMERS out there?
router, man, chill.
i ain’t angry. i just figure i’m prettier than his wife. LULz.
you’re far more transparent than you believe.
and i still think our new emperor is a lying sack of shit dirty socialist twat, a cypher designed by some ad agency. can we get back to THAT discussion now, entertaining tho the distractions may be? hmmmm?
Yo, Sdferr. Any chance we could get this thread back OT?
i ain’t angry. i just figure i’m prettier than his wife. LULz.
you’re far more transparent than you believe.
Just who is this addressed to?
and i still think our new emperor is a lying sack of shit dirty socialist twat, a cypher designed by some ad agency. c
Well. duh.
Baracky and his admin do seem to have a problem conceiving the other, don’t they? Can’t figure life for Brits, can’t imagine Islamist terrorist murdering bastards for the evil fucks they are, can’t foresee the Russians playing them like a fiddle, don’t know how to distinguish an ally from an enemy,………..pick ‘er up from there and run with it peoples.
A long time ago, 10 years?, before Hollywood got Congress to stop it, I bought a player that can change it’s region. I was watching a lot of Japanese stuff back then and it was handy. Haven’t used it in a while so I should haul it out and fire it up.Make sure it still works ok.
so as social engineer you would do what?
it was addressed to router. not to you. you’re a doll, as far as i can tell. trufax. been reading here a longass time.
Well, then, we’re cool louchette. I haven’t figgerd out this router person yet. Give me another year. I’m a slow study.
Allah, Patterico, intent, and Obama making fun of the Special Olympics.
Honestly, I didn’t start stalking Pablo until I had been reading his comments for years.
Of course, he’s got his curtains closed tonight, so you guys are stuck with me.
so axelrod what’s up with the teleprompter?
as a dedicated ‘social engineer’ i would NEVER tell such as you what i was up to. fwiw ymmv.
It’s called “Smart Power”. A word group destined to be in the same category as “Jumbo Shrimp” and “Little John”.
Like this Joe fellow. Just don’t know what to make of him.
Where has happy been? sigh. I’d stalk him but he lives way across the country.
i like the obamalosers spreading their venom over the blogosphere. “social engineer” might be a clue
OK. Back on topic. After the slight, I read a comment maybe on Harry’s Place, that the British press were too sensitive. The Japanese Prime Minister had a state visit and everything went well.
Turns out, the PM was also shocked at the lack of flags, joint press statement, sushi take out instead of dinner, and a talk with no substance what so ever, it just took the English speaking press a heck of a lot long to translate the article that appeared in the Japanese press.
So far JiveJumpin Juggears McTelepromter has slighted Malaki, Karzid, King of Morocco, with late phone calls; Israel, India, Mexico, Canada, with signs of renegotiating Trade deals, President of Columbia, Brazil …

router is acting a lot like thor tonight.
kulaks had the same problem with your buddy stalin
?
no just dislike people “GAMING” a system
@147 So, Obama is consistent, then. Shiny.
Oh, thank you Sdferr. I missed that. If only happy wasn’t into that whole anonymous internet thing. I could call him up and ask him where the hell he was. Him and Ace and Allah.
And, now that I think about it … Sdferr.
Peps can figure out who I am. My blog has my name and stuff, I think. I figure until I actually post a picture of my boobs (and not a rickroll) I’m safe from weirdos.
How come Obama doesn’t understand the protocols go hand in hand with the grandeur of the office, which in turn has nothing particular to do with the temporary inhabitant of it, but everything to do with the fact that it stands symbolically as a representation of 300,000,000+ people? What the fuck is going to happen when the Chinese PM, who does understand such things, comes a callin’? World Fucking War kicks off?
Because he has no freakin clue. He only knows what the teleprompter tells him.
How will he react when they turn the tables?
In that case, maybe we can send the teleprompter to some kind of school of etiquette. Then it would do a better job of giving Obama the words he needs.
Ah yes, we finally discover that what the world wanted was another Jimmy Carter and we delivered.
I expect nothing less than a full-blown hissy fit.
The more I think about it, the more I think Alinsky doesn’t work….long term, anyway.
Why would it? Why would he be any more right about his rules than he was about anything else?
America is and always has been OUTLAW.
ya know router, not that i would ever require you to read my TMI personal drivel, but i’ve been blogging nearly four years now (longer really but that’s a differnt story.) NEways, perhaps you might want to consider reading that four years worth of consistent classical liberal ideology before deciding who you think i am for me. FWIW.
david letterman
Yes. No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
no social engineers sucks like progressive president hoover/teleprompter
The left,during the past eight years, has thoroughly debased the office of the president in this country. They don’t have respect for the office now, if they ever did. Obama does not have respect for the office either. The only regard he has is for himself and probably his family.
The fact that he went on Leno just further debased the presidency. Not much, but some. Maybe he’ll do the full talk-show circuit and finish it with that guy who used to do MTV TRL. That ought to finish the job.
“America is and always has been OUTLAW.”
Man Pablo, did you ever get that right. Well done, well said.
Baracky could easily end up as frequently remembered as Millard Fillmore is today.
I’m not going to knock him for Leno, except that he stuck his foot in his mouth, Nixon did “Laugh In”. “Sock it to me?”
Nixon should have known better as well, then.
Would it help if I call you Carrin?
Nixon wasn’t president yet. That’s different.
Well … yes, as a matter of fact it would.
But, I tire now. Off to bed I go.
See you peps in the am.
?
This needs to stop. I am not talking about his snubs or shitfaced idiocy. I am talkin about OUR Free Press’s non coverage of anything negative.
I don’t know if anyone caught it, but Obama sadly and insensitively made fun of Thors’ every where tonight on Leno — special Olympic retard scores suck and such.
My mistake, I’d thought he was. My John Kerry “Christmas in Cambodia” moment.
I retract my statement then. I’d thought it had been done before.
some white guys using black guys to diss white guys
Obama’s Special Olympics comment is geting some legs.
I am not so outraged as much as curious if Obama is treated even 10% as badly as Bush would have been for saying something like this. I would interpret the Obamessiah’s intent as insensitive inteptitude with a touch of narcisism.
That’s what he gets for not bringing me to Leno’s show.
LULz you’re still angry about that ‘prettier than your wife’ barb. and you just proved it true, too. with your defensiveness. LULz.
social engineering you say? i say LULZxinfinity!
now tell me: why aren’t you assholes (including ME, FWIW) winning elections?
oh right… *sigh*
Been gone all day. Wallace: I used to sell DVDs imported from the UK, so yeah, I know that they are region two. Region 1 are NTSC. But the PAL thing worked better with my post title.
because politicians are assholes
Mercy, there seems to be a spat about
Carin, in between your single-handed housewifery, your homeschoolng your well-scrubbed kids, working out to a monstrous degree, canning, raising a victory garden, and still having time to opinionate pretty much 24/7, how can you possibly keep up?
>> because politicians are assholes.
well, on that, at least, we are in 100% agreement.
you gotta start someplace? i guess?

I think she probably skips the two boxes of wine per day, cynn.
This guy’s a fucking nitwit.
Don’t feel bad cynn, ambition isn’t for everyone.
How will he react when they turn the tables?
Same old whine. Racism-ism-ism…
Went out to a lovely dinner with husband, get back and settle in to watch CSI and WTF? Basketball??!!
grumble.
Welcome aboard, louchette.
Todd is odd !!!
The guy continues to amaze. A real late nite natural. Write for your autographed pic today.

How did Letterman handle the slight? He loves Barack very much. Man crush.
From the story (emphasis mine)
raaaaaaaaaaacist!
louchette: I’m a WoWhead at the moment, but my little brother plays EQ2, and is actively trying to recruit me. Is it that good?
and router: STFU, you’re misidentifying louchette as a Axelturfer, get off it
Who says I can veggies, Cynn? My husband wants me to try it this year, but who know, perhaps that will push me over the edge?
Wow’r here as well though semi-retired at the moment. I’m an achievement nerd so as soon as I capped out my 2 toons at 80, suddenly the game lost much of its appeal. I don’t go in for the “I must have more purple stuff then that guy”- Ive met people that play 15 hours a day and I just can’t compete. I have a life- not much of one I grant you, but a life.

However, I was able to create a new toon on my server named Obamasteleprompter last night =)
The only civilized thing to do is for Obama to send Brown the same DVDs but in the correct region format. And enclose a note on real White House stationery. And another toy helicopter. And an autographed photo. And of course a BO logo tshirt. And some tea, Brits like tea. And some Jordan almonds.
The political bickerings and mudslinging will grew worse as the days go by. So, expect for the worse.
The Whitehouse stationery’s gone, Bill Ayers has it all. Scratch paper, rough drafts for the kids indoctrination to socialism handbooks.
Someday we’ll see it at the Obama Presidential Museum in Kenya. Probably in the gift shop.
celtic dragon: sorry not to have gotten back to you earlier. hubby came home from a trip and i had to do a bunch of related irl stuff last night and today.
anyway, i love eq2 a lot, and i think it’s worth playing. if your brother has a free slot perhaps he would let you roll a temp toon on his account just to try it out? that said… i actually much prefer scifi to fantasy. but at the moment i don’t think there is any scifi MMO as good as any of the fantasy MMOs. i still have my old AO account. and altho the screenshots and other teasers they’ve released look very good i am taking a wait and see approach to their new graphics engine. if it’s good enough i’ll probably leave norrath and go back to rubi-ka. also, i would probably play WoW. there’s certainly a lot about the game to like, especially for an RP’er like me, including the fun social gestures and pretty armors. but i’m a hardcore crafter and prefer the crafting mechanics in eq2. also, no homes for me to tart up in WoW. and the home decorating thing is how i relax.
hope this was helpful. =)
