Michelle's older brother, the basketball star sounds just as classless. LUN

[clarice]

Yesterday I read that Israel has published a price list which details what the response will be for each new act of Hamas aggression.

In Europe they are continuing to blame the Israelis, even to the point of a court order in Germany permitting Hamas flags to fly but confiscating any Israeli flags on display. (Elsewhere in the UK and Europe, Israeli flags have been banned from pro Hamas demos but only by police order and by warning or arresting pro-Israeli demonstrators.
Europe is gone. Finished. It committed suicide by multiculturalism.

[PeterUK]

Nothing to say,just luxuriating in the early days of a ,so far, previous/next free thread.

[PeterUK]

"Europe is gone. Finished. It committed suicide by multiculturalism."

Only the political classes,who seem to have picked the side they think will win.In good times the chicanery of the PCs would slip by.Now however there is an economic crisis of almost cosmic proportions,widespread scepticism about the entire green scam,bitterness concerning uncontrolled immigration.There is a visceral hatred of the political classes,Europe being Europe the whole miserable affair will end in bloodshed and tears.

Michelle's older brother, the basketball star sounds just as classless.

I don't know what's more pathetic: Esquire writing about basketball or acting like the coach of an 0-18 team last year is some sort of authority on anything.

[Fithian]

No Peter, alas, it's just not long enough to go to page two yet.

SAVE US TOM MAGUIRE!

PREVIOUS/NEXT IS BACK & WE'RE ALL GOING OUT OF OUR MINDS!

I thought of leaving my tag open, so that the hold thread would go bold and maybe catch TM's attention.

[Pagar]

Clarice, I believe you are 100% correct on where Europe is today. IMO, the US is not far behind.

Islam is the second religion of France," Sarkozy reminded his listeners.

[Yusuf from Gaza]

Destruction is not a nice sight. Nevertheless, I can tell you in the name of MANY friends here, that our people, the Palestinian people, are better of today. Hamas is the real cancer in our society and with the big blow they got we have a chance for normal life.
Just watch this video and see what they have done with our children: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTGbP55HGi8

[Pagar]

Couldn't such a person be consider an authority on losers?

[clarice]

PUK,Ah but frenzied crowds always aim for the wrong target which is why my family has learned to sew diamonds into the seams of their coats and pass this info on to each new generation.
When I see the Eurojugend defiantly marching with Danish,US and Israeli flags and singing songs to Pym Fortune I'll be heartened. Until then, not so much,

[Captain Hate]

a court order in Germany permitting Hamas flags to fly but confiscating any Israeli flags on display.

An email buddy of mine from Berlin has told me that the left in Germany is generally less anti-Israel than elsewhere in Europe and that an underlying reason for that is most of the immigrants from the Middle East are Turks, who are much more Western oriented than your standard nutjobs from Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan or Egypt. Have I been misled?

[clarice]

My German friend here like the English couple who are down the hall say that's not true. That everyone in Germany and the UK are afraid to attack headon the left Islamist coalition.

The Turks, it's true, are less wacky than others but the wackiness is taking hold in the growing Islamist population everywhere in Europe.

Yesterday i read that in parts of Sweden headmasters are refusing to even admit Jewish children to their schools for fear of a violent reaction.

[narciso]

What fresh hell is this, Gazan spam, well they were running phonebanks during the campaign, so there is that. That's a disquieting thought that I don't like to linger on Clarice, but it's a possibility.
The turbas of post 1979 Nicaragua, or the
the committees of repudiation, are sadly closer to the mark. Sauntered over to the Daily Beast, and some anonymous figure was tallying up the losers on Obama day. Nader, Pat Robertson and Sarah (the nerve of her to start her legislative session, then) Ayers, possibly the most spoiled rich white man in America, lecturing on King

[Captain Hate]

Yusuf from Gaza: Assuming you're legit, best wishes in eradicating those vermin from your midst. Anybody that wants to lead a "normal" life in Gaza must be continually depressed.

[Soylent Red]

coach of an 0-18 team

But, but...

His intentions were good, which is what really matters.

His coaching methods would have been effective if the hated Athletic Department would not have cut his funds and thwarted his every move.

He chose not to become an NBA coach, you know, because he felt the need to help young, inner-city college kids get the basketball help they need to succeed.

Besides, win/loss records are simply a way of putting an illegitimate judgment on one team over another. In this society, it really amounts to an indictment on the basic humanity of the predominantly black group of players.

Barack is going to change all that. He knows the only solution to crappy basketball coaching is to add more crappy basketball coaches to the staff. He's going to show leadership in the gym. He's not going to allow you to become complacent, but rather, you will be running wind sprints and layup drills, or at least painting your face on game day.

[clarice]

When was the last time I said I love you , Soylent? Overdue to say it again, I think.

[Danube of Thought]

The Israelis have taken a page directly from the book of Lincoln, Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman.

[Danube of Thought]

To quote from one account:

"When he entered Atlanta, Sherman issued an order requiring all the people to leave within five days. Hood protested against this order, and the mayor and council of Atlanta appealed to Sherman to withdraw it, pointing out that most of the inhabitants were women and children, who would suffer greatly if compelled to leave their homes. To this Sherman replied, 'I have read it [the petition] carefully, and give full credit to your statements of the distress that will be occasioned, and yet shall not revoke my orders, because they were not designed to meet the humanities of the case.' When all preparations for the southward march had been made and the people had been forced to depart, Sherman burned Atlanta to the ground."

You go, Cump!

[Jane]

The 2 border agents have just been pardoned. (I can't tell who has said what so sorry if it is old news.)

[Dave]

They reportedly have not been pardoned, but are having their sentences commuted to time already served.

[Danube of Thought]

Hitchens is priceless on W's last day. LUN

[centralcal]

Correct, Dave. Released on March 20th?

[centralcal]

My golly, have the Canadians finally gotten some common sense? Bill Ayers was refused entrance into Canada (for a speaking engagement)!!

Per Jonah Goldberg @ the Corner.

[centralcal]

Per the AP, not looking like Scooter will get a pardon:

"Bush technically has until noon on Tuesday when President-elect Barack Obama is sworn into office to exercise his executive pardon authority, but presidential advisers said no more were forthcoming."

[matt]

Hamas declared victory....another in a long line of Arab hardliner victories....

[PeterUK]

"My golly, have the Canadians finally gotten some common sense? Bill Ayers was refused entrance into Canada (for a speaking engagement)!!"

Have they welshed on the swap with the geese?

[narciso]

Got around to reading Douthat's piece in the Nuevo Mexico Times,(hey they supported a bailout for oligarch, 15 years ago, now they return the favor) for the venue it's remarkably positive; of course, he has to throw a little red meat to his readers; about'pro-segregation' editorials in the NR, Bush's uncuriousity and of course Sarah's supposed flubs on foreign policy, listing them as signs of intellectualism; or course, the same thing could have been said in 1960, or 1964; without changing much. The irony that the Times kept out McCain's editorial on the surge, testifies to the incuriosity of the Times editorial staff, and that of Mr. Douthat themselves.
The acceptance of the MoveOn org ad, and the Cavett op ed slamming Petraeus on aethetic grounds, is also a sign of this.
One wonders if young Mr. Friedersdorf and
Douthat are the same person, for their message is virtually the same. Shame about
Mr. Libby, I thought he would understand
the implications of that move

[sbw]

WRT Prev/Next, I see our Feng is still Shui-ing in the breeze.

It is profoundly difficult to get anywhere in the middle of a thread. Do you suppose George Soros bought Typepad?

[centralcal]

sbw: As if media Obamagasms hourly weren't enough frustration, TM has to pile on with deliberately not fixing the previous/next carp.

Surely, he knows by now this is going on, on this comment threads!

[sbw]

Centralcal, and yet who am I, a lowly leach off his community, to display anything but serenity and an occasional backhanded sarcastic remark.

[matt]

Michelle's brother sounds like one of those "worst nightmare" coaches. I'm sure he'll do well at Oregon. They deserve it.

Hopefully, UCLA, Arizona, CAL, Stanford, Washington State, Arizona State, Oregon State, and USC will all kick their butts and he can get a nice job coaching a JC in Bakersfield or Kokomo.

[Firmato]

[C.R.]

DOT - thanks for the link to Hitchens. My favorite phrase was "...current hope-mongering...

[Fithian]

"The Israelis have taken a page directly from the book of Lincoln, Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman."

Unfortunately, they stopped short of the sea.

[Old Dad]

We look at Hamas and try to rationalize them. It's quite simple. They are cold blooded murderers under the flag of a political movement meekly tolerated by those under its boot and lionized by the delusional.

The former Israeli General is right--their tactics are rational, and they are modestly skilled killers. The Israelis are much better. It's unfortunate that Israel's political leadership lacks the will to finish the job. Necessity dictates that Hamas must be destroyed. History will dress the deed in what ever garments it will, but Israelis will live, and the surviving Gazans will have a chance at peace.

What else can be hoped for? Moral philosophy is irrelevant whne there is a gun in your ear.

[Fithian]

Oh crap. I do not know why my screen name keeps reverting back to Quasiblogger which I have never used outside of commenting as the proprietor of said blog months ago. What's bizarre is that in preview mode, I show up correctly as JM Hanes. When I fill out the name/address/url lines all over again, it will occasionally use JM Hanes for awhile, and then suddenly revert again.

I'm embarrassed to ask, but is there a Mac geek in the house who can tell me what I need to expunge, and where? I'm using Safari 3.0.4 which seems to be as high is my laptop OS can go. Outside of JOM, I have always tried not to associate Q'blog with my given name, and I'd really rather not have that switcheroo occuring in the middle of a dialogue elsewhere.

[clarice]

If it's true about Libby I will be very sad to hear that.

[Fithian]

Tester, with apologies, for filling in info and posting without preview.

[clarice]

My German friend said the judge was just blindly following local post war law which makes it an offense to interfere with a lawful, permitted demonstration.

Still, I await permitted demonstrations in Europe with marchers flying Danish . US and Israeli flags...and then I want to see what happens to those trying to break up the demonstrations by, inter alia, waving Hamas flags along the route.

[caro]

JMH, I loved your snark yesterday. Thanks.

What is strange about the Quasi thing is that you have probably used other names more recently such as our Jane pseudonyms and the Joe the Plumber solidarity.

I would suggest switching to Firefox. It works great on Mac. I wish I could comment on Safari but I haven't used it in a while.

[Fithian]

More tests, more apologies.

Caro, I've got Firefox, but unfortunately the only no-fills browser style that would work with the newest version, has tabs that end up being almost too dark to read. Sigh.

[Elliott]

Try getting rid of the lun, JMH.

[sbw]

JMH, you could go to the Menu, under Safari, click Preferences.

Then, under the Security Tab, click Show cookies.

Then put typepad in the search window in the upper right. That should bring up the three .typepad.com entries for typepadurl, typepadauthor, and typepademail.

I didn't try it, but I would think that deleting them would allow you to start over. Or, just change the author to what you want.

[bio mom]

Bush is a real law and order guy. He doesn't pardon if there was a jury conviction.

[Danube of Thought]

Not a lot of activity on this thread. I feel pretty sure that the Prev/Next thing inhibits participation. Or maybe it's thoughts of impending doom.

[Not BHO fan]

coach of an 0-18 team

But, but...

His intentions were good, which is what really matters.

I'm not a fan of BHO, but I don't see this bashing of his brother in law fair or even accurate.

He started coaching Oregon State this year, he did not have an 0-18 record last year with the team. I should also note that the record for OSU's season was 6-24, the 0-18 was for Pac 10 play.

This year their record is 8-10 so far, and they've won their first Pac 10 game in 2 years. From everything I've read, it appears that Coach Robinson believes in 'conservative' principles in his coaching. He has 5 am practices and gets the athletes to commit to the team principle. Whether he'll be successful in the long run is unknown. However, I think commenters are way off base with their criticisms of the Coach during his first year.

[Pofarmer]

What fresh hell is this?

Even if you click on the last posters name, you have to next through the entire thread, and the preview thing aint working.

[Danube of Thought]

Interesting to see that the old communist Pete Seeger shared the stage with Springsteen. He'll be 90 in May.

I believe these folks are going to be awfully disappointed with the Obama presidency. I certainly hope so.

The "Preview" dodge doesn't seem to work any more. Odd that T Maguire hasn't made any mention of this nightmare, at least not that I'm aware of.

[Captain Hate]

This year their record is 8-10

If you're going to complain about inaccuracies, at least get their 6-10 record correct. They may be improved over their dismal record last year but they're still mired next to the bottom of the Pac 10 ahead of only Oregon. Esquire was just writing a puff piece on him anyway, of interest only to knobs who need the last bit of Oblammo minutiae.

HALP US TOM MAQUIRE - WE R STUCK HEAR N NEXT-PREV!

Oh no,

The preview hint that has been working beautifully all weekend has stopped working entirely. When I hit the button I get the comment box and nothing else.

Thou Shalt Not Avoid the Ads

[BobS]

I agree CR...the same for me.

[Neo]

The trouble now is that the insanity didn’t end with sub-primes. There were two other kinds of exotic mortgages that became popular, called "Alt-A" and "option ARM." The option ARMs, in particular, lured borrowers in with low initial interest rates - so-called teaser rates - sometimes as low as one percent. But after two, three or five years those rates "reset." They went up. And so did the monthly payment. A mortgage of $800 dollars a month could easily jump to $1,500. ... "Well, the sub-prime is, was approaching $1 trillion, the Alt-A is about $1 trillion. And then you have option ARMs on top of that. That’s probably another $500 billion to $600 billion on top of that," Tilson says.

So after the $1 trillion sub-prime wave of defaults comes the $1.6 trillion wave of "Alt-A" and "option ARM" defaults.

No wonder there is no 9/11-type commission investigating this economic "Pearl Harbor"

[C.R.]

I posted this on the Monday Open thread as well (with multiple typos, alas).

Someone a while ago gave the following tip (of course I can't look it up to give proper credit!!!!):

After you hit next once, in the url where it gives the page number, put in a number like 100 and it will take you to the last page in the thread. It seems to work.

Example: http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2009/01/monday-morning/comments/page/100/#comments

And Boris, you are correct. All the ads are in place.

[PeterUK]

Same here Banks have been lending billions to iffy oligarchs et al and the money has just gone poof!

[PeterUK]

Other than a stake through its evil heart,all typepad needs is a "last" feature,first would also be useful,but last is essential.

[JM Hanes]

sbw!

You are a god and I want to be first in line to sign up for your cult!

After locating the typepadurl etc. cookies, from the typepad search box, I also noticed another 3 profile.typepad cookies, and deleted them as well. I made a come back on the recipe thread, and I'm crossing my fingers that the fix is portable. We'll know soon enough, although I'm having to muster up some courage to hit Post.

[BobS]

JMH...errrr...isn't it sort of a bad time to talk about joining a cult?

[Danube of Thought]

"There were two other kinds of exotic mortgages that became popular, called "Alt-A" and 'option ARM.' The option ARMs, in particular, lured borrowers in with low initial interest rates - so-called teaser rates - sometimes as low as one percent."

I myself have an option ARM. I read all the loan documents, which spelled out exactly how and when the payments would change (unless I opted to refinance, which I can do without penalty before any increase occurs), and I willingly entered into the agreement. I got what I bargained for. Anyone who enters into a mortgage agreement without fully understanding all of the terms and conditions gets no sympathy at all from me.

"Lured" seems like a rather loaded term for something I wanted and actively sought.

[JM Hanes]

Yes! When contemplating the simultaneous loss of the Preview workaround, I'd like to remind everyone that correlation is not causatiion!

If tomorrow weren't Coronation Day, I'd suggest that perhaps observing radio silence for a few days on the comment front might attract Dear Leader's attention, but that seems a lot like cutting/spiting, doesn't it?

[sbwaters]

JMH: You are a god and I want to be first in line to sign up for your cult!

Heh! I chuckled and my wife, sitting next to me, asked why. I read her your response and she said, "Hey! I'm already attached to that cult leader!" So, I am happily resigned to to have almost had someone sign up for my cult. ;-)

Thanks, anyway. Glad to have been of service.

[JM Hanes]

Au contraire, BobS. It's never been more important for people to understand that they have options!

[matt]

having been coached by one of the greats one summer long ago, I hold to my opinion of Obama's brother's coaching style. Demeaning most athletes does not work, as it does not work with most human beings. It's nasty and shows insecurity. Firm and fair and make em run baselines till they puke.

[sbwaters]

Dang! If I really had been in top form, for a joke I would have signed my last comment "Quasiblogger".

[JM Hanes]

I'd be willing to worship you both, sbw!

[JM Hanes]

It's the thought that counts. And the risk.

[MayBee]

Is it just me, or has Typepad taken away my right to see the whole thread on Preview?

[Porchlight]

Yes, MayBee. Try Elliott's trick, posted above by C.R.:

After you hit next once, in the url where it gives the page number, put in a number like 100 and it will take you to the last page in the thread. It seems to work.

Example: http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2009/01/monday-morning/comments/page/100/#comments

You can then keep refreshing the last page to see the newest comments.

[MayBee]

Thanks porch and Elliot.
I can see why Typepad finds that method to be a big improvement.

[Extraneus]

I noticed Spike Lee said this is the greatest moment in American history. Greater than July 4, 1776, I imagine he meant. Well, that's ridiculous if you're talking about America itself, but it probably is the greatest moment anyone has ever had besides Barack Obama.

[Extraneus]

Here it is, the greatest photo of the 21th century so far.

[narciso]

Interesting argument that Hitchens put forward for the 'torture epidemic' at the New York Magazine, linked by Robert McCain; it really was an expression of what the American people were feeling at the time, not the sole province of Rumsfeld, or Wolfowitz, et al. You kind of feel sorry for Hitchens, he turned to Obama in order to avoid the corruption of the Clintons and he ends with Hillary at Foggy Bottom., Scratch that, I don't feel sorry at him at all, he turned his nose at the only ticket, that might have remotely confronted the islamofascists, mostly because he found the running mate too sectarian' "Ghost of a Flea' is having no small amount of fun, tormenting him over that; so he gets to live with the consequences of his decision.

Some people never learn, Rushdie is back to his old games, tweaking the Ayatollah, rubbishing W. does he realize that the Iranian president was exactly the type who would have overseen his liquidation; and if there's another fatwa, don't count on support in the US or Britain. No one of any consequence is going to stick their head out for you this time,

[belle]

Holy cow! I'm just a lurker and this is driving me up the wall. I can't move about this site. ARRRGH

And did I say I am an ADDICTED lurker and trying to avoid the Obamathon. Help me, jaysus.

TM has an "Email Me" right above the Site Meter. Everyone send an SOS to Tom.

I don't want to be alone tomorrow. :)

[centralcal]

Extraneus: It will all be over soon. Reality may not hit the Obama-ites, but it surely will hit Obama. This is a man who is in way over his head and I suspect he knows it.

[Danube of Thought]

Well, there was always Lee surrendering to Grant at Appamattox. VE-Day. VJ-Day.

But what manner of reason can withstand this onslaught of imbecility? None, is my guess...

[centralcal]

Well, I have had enough - even refresh doesn't work for me any more.

Maybe, it is an omen. I am gonna watch non-news channels and hope this all passes soon.

If I had some pistolas like Clarice, I would be gunning for T.M. But, instead I will sip cocktails and watch "My House is Worth What?"

[belle]

Thanks, Ann. I've sent my SOS to TM. Thanks all of you for hanging in there. I depend on you to keep me sane. Most of my friends are in lala land: not exactly happy with the way of the world, but shrugging their shoulders, as if it is not their problem. Obviously, I'm the one with the problem. You, each of you, are my outlet for my angst. Thank you for your active engagement with what is going on.

[cathyf]

Ok, folks, here's how I've been reading the thread:

1) Open a new window, and put in http://justoneminute.typepad.com in the url.

2) Go to the Recent Posts on the right, and right-click on a thread. When the menu comes up, click on "open in new tab".

3) When it comes up, go to the tab, hit "end" to go the to bottom, and hit the "Next" link. Repeat until you get to the end.

4) Notice the url changing. This thread: http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2009/01/the-gaza-war/comments/page/4/#comments -- notice that the end is page/a number/#comments.

5) Ok, when you find your place on the thread, you are now good to go.

-- If you hit "refresh" on the page, your cursor will stay in the same place, and just the new posts will get added.

-- When you get to the bottom of a page, hit "Next" and it takes you to the next page.

-- Your browser Back button now has all the pages in the thread lined up in order from first to last.

6) UNTIL YOU POST. Ok, what happens when you post is that your url will change to something with the comment number of your comment embedded in it rather than the page number -- eg: http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2009/01/saturday-mornin.html?cid=145564222#comment-145564222 YOU DON'T WANT THIS

7) Now, click and hold the browser back button. It will bring up the whole queue of pages. The page one back will be your post. If you did one or more previews, then the preview views will be before that. The entry on that back menu before any previews is the page you were reading, with your comment in the comment box, in the state it was in before you hit "Preview".

8) OK, roll down the browser back button's list until you get back to that page you started your comment on. If you look in the url box, it will end with "page/a number/#comments"

9) The last comment that you read before starting your comment is right there above the comment box. So at this point you hit "Refresh" on your browser.

10) If you are using firefox, safari or opera (no guarantee with IE -- it's generally a crappy browser), then when you finish the Refresh your cursor will be left right there at the last posting you read before you started writing your comment, so you can resume reading. When you come to the end of the page, hit "Next" keep reading.

11) This is really good if it is a fast-moving thread -- you can be reading at the end of page 10, make some long, thoughtful comment, and by the time you finish posting your post ends up on page 12. You are scratching your head, scrolling up and down, hitting "Previous" and thinking "where the !^$%* was I?" Well, if you use your browser's back button, it can show you exactly where you were.

Looks like that Sun article on the ALQIM dying of plague was a little off... Seems there was a breach at their lab and they had to seal it off and abandon the base...

Worse news...

Stephanie,

They screwed up the recipe on their special inauguration cake. That or it looked so good they decided to try just a little piece before they frosted it.

S'OK - Barry Barack Hussein Dunham Davis? Soetero Obama? will straighten them all out, first thing tomorrow afternoon.

[Stephanie]

Cue the progs....even though Iraq never had WMDs, it'll be Bush's fault that Iraq's WMDs found their way into AQ's camps.

Unfortunately, if we capture anyone with knowledge about this and they won't talk, there's nothing we can do about it, can we? We might be curious about AQ's weapons program but we can't make them stand in the cold, or watch some soft pron or stop them from getting plenty of rest to get the answers. That would be wrong.

[Stephanie]

S'OK - Barry Barack Hussein Dunham Davis? Soetero Obama? will straighten them all out, first thing tomorrow afternoon.

Yep. Unicorn farts are da BOMB in fighting terrorists!!!

[Not BHO fan]

This year their record is 8-10
If you're going to complain about inaccuracies, at least get their 6-10 record correct. They may be improved over their dismal record last year but they're still mired next to the bottom of the Pac 10 ahead of only Oregon.

Actually, they are 8-10. While they’re not Division I schools, they beat St Martins and Concordia before their first game with Howard. Granted beating a Division 2 and an NAIA team is not a big deal, but I am accurate.

Again whether or not Robinson is a good coach is still unknown. A lot of great coaches have started very poorly. Look at Jimmy Johnson’s first year in Dallas or Chuck Noll is Pittsburgh.

[Rick Ballard]

Stephanie,

The question in my mind is whether it was a "field test" by AQ to determine actual lethality. They've been known to make 'martyrs' out of followers who didn't actually understand all the fine print that the nice mullah fellow sped through while swearing them in. Accident or test, they sure as hell know it's lethal now.

[glasater]

Cathyf--I do not see this "end" thing with the new tab. I use Safari mainly and sometimes Firefox.

[JM Hanes]

TM may not actually be able to fix this.

I posted some Typepad info on Page 8 of the MLK thread at 11:46 pm -- I'd have linked to the post itself, but that just drops you at the opening page now. Typepad has apparently instituted a new 50 comment/page limit, with a 25 comment default. We should all be complaining directly to Typepad. I posted more in the MLK thread, but here's a link to Tyepad/SixApart's Contact Form.

[Pofarmer]

Accident or test, they sure as hell know it's lethal now.

Well, then, if that was a test, they probably still have some of it.

[cathyf]

Sorry -- I meant the "end" button on your keyboard. Or you just grab the scroll bar and scroll down.

[glasater]

In poking around on typepad I found something about an update on 1/15/09. ISTM that is when the troubles of previous/next began.

Here is the link to the sixapart support page.
