If I am still dark and all you are getting are these time-delayed open threads, that really calls into question whether my kid's new lap top has great wi-fi connectivity.

Krugman finally gets something right.
Posted by: Neo | December 29, 2007 at 11:42 AM
I'm surprised that Krugman failed to note the rather obvious fact that Global Warming has brought about the current crisis in Pakistan.

We were dark for 8 days after Isabel. They start where they can bring the most people online at once, and work down. There are only 50 houses here - we were last.
At least it was hot rather than freezing.

OT:
Isn't it the other way around? I.e. global warming brought about Bhutto's assassination?
Perhaps it's a chicken and egg relationship.
Hard to say without millions of dollars in research grants.

No, No, This is Getting Really Ridiculous:
" Clinton's rally was preceded by a performance by an accordion-led trio playing the U.S. Marine Corps hymn."
and
"She lauded the accomplishments of the Clinton administration including the 1996 abolition of the federal welfare safety net saying, "you know, the best way to help somebody is prepare them to get a job."
Read it all: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tag/huffpolitics/
Yeah, I know it's the Huffington, but still can you even imagine an accordion-led trio playing the U.S. Marine Corps hymn?

I wouldn't be caught dead in Hello Kitty ... but then, I'm not that kind of guy. Not that there's anything wrong with that ...
Hey Tom, think of all the carbon emissions you're saving!

I believe if you check the record Hil was against the Welfare reform Act because she thought it would hurt women and children. Then Dick Morris told Clinton to sign it and Bill has taken the credit ever since even though Republicans were behind it from the get-go. Hil keeps counting on us all being amnesiacs like :", the new sitcom Samantha Who?".

I'm probably the only person watching the game, and I'm definitely not one of the men.

It's the Iowa version of the Southern accent she used in Selma, PUK.

Oh, Clarice you always write what I think. I am surprised there are no " Golly lee" moments in her campaign stops in Iowa.
Posted by: Ann | December 29, 2007 at 08:57 PM
Maryrose,
I do know Hillary's record and that is why I posted under "This is Getting Ridiculous".
As ridiculous, as the U.S. Marine Corps hymn playing at any event Hillary is pandering,too. My God, she must be defeated.

Well, I'm watching the game. I don't think I'm rooting for the same team Jane is though. I should be, since I have no reason to be rooting for the Giants. Brady is too damn good. And Moss.

Well, somebody's got to root for TM's team....
Posted by: JM Hanes | December 29, 2007 at 11:10 PM
JM,
You go ahead. ::grin:: I just want to prove to my brother they can be beaten. So far, he is winning the bet.
Posted by: Sue | December 29, 2007 at 11:18 PM
I think the problems for all the other teams is that Tom Brady has simply gotten better looking this year. He grew his hair out or something. Anyway, until some other quarterback gets a makeover, nobody stands a chance.

So that's how they win games! No wonder I was a dud in sports.
Posted by: Ralph L | December 30, 2007 at 01:58 AM
What a game! WOw! Ya gotta give the Giants credit, at least until the 3rd quarter, they certainly didn't make it a cakewalk.
It's really fun to be a Boston fan this year.

Congratulations on your city's winning teams! Celtics are still in the catbird seat as well!
Posted by: maryrose | December 30, 2007 at 10:19 AM
I believe the Celts meet Kobe and the Lakers tonight.
Posted by: Other Tom | December 30, 2007 at 11:38 AM
Celts are doing great - I'm such a fair weather fan, last time I watched the Celts was the Larry Bird era. (Before this year, last time I watched football was the Doug Flutie era -while he was at BC, not the Pats - same era as Larry Bird). And for hockey it was Bobby Orr. The Red Sox are so much fun they are hard to ignore, even when they are losing. I will say it's been great fun becoming a sports fan again.

Oh yeah, big Magic Bird hullaballoo.

Yes, you pegged it ts. Frankly, having found nothing to complain about the process, the admonition not to destroy the tapes seems a weak cya move, doesn't it?
