Top of the Morning everyone. 'Tis St Patricks Day!
We maight be dying the blog green today, but until we get the logistics worked out, please sit back and pour y'rself a nice morning toddy, and break out yer derbies.
And please, if ya know what good f'r ya, instead of just wear'n a bit O' the Green today, try to be a little more green period! I'll be back shortly, in the mean time, Slainte!
=====================================================
and on with the show!......
Looking for Osama and they found Spitzer. How convenient.
Uninteneed Consquences; From Newsweek:
I wonder how many of these politicians are republican and how many are democrat. We already have discovered that our Department of Justice is tainted. That another Democratic Governor is in jail.... How many other cases do we have like this?
The very idea that we are considering our own people, politicians as PEP's because the Government says so because of the patriot act, is something that seems to be wrought with Corruption. The law was written for one thing, and now it is being used as a dragnet for anything the feds think is suspicious, including politicians.
Remember when cases needed to be built upon evidence and investigation? Well thanks to this administration and those that passed the patriot act, it is no more. Innocent until proven guilty no longer matters. Eliot Spitzer got caught while we were supposed to be finding Osama Bin Laden.
And... if you think for one minute the president is telling you the truth that the NSA only spies on foreigners, and only to get the terra-ists™I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. Those wiretaps will eventually, if they have not already been so, used to dragnet regular Americans. We are no longer innocent until proven guilty. Eliot Spitzer now knows all too well.
Saint Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. It is time we Americans drove our own snakes out of Washington.
:peace: and
Raine O' Martinio ;)

Uninteneed Consquences; From Newsweek:
The Patriot Act gave the FBI new powers to snoop on suspected terrorists. In the fine print were provisions that gave the Treasury Department authority to demand more information from banks about their customers' financial transactions. Congress wanted to help the Feds identify terrorist money launderers. But Treasury went further. [...]
Another element of the formulas: whether an account holder was a "politically exposed person." At first focused on potentially crooked foreign officials, the PEP lists expanded to include many U.S. politicians and public officials who were conceivably vulnerable to corruption.

And anyone heard from ShelaghC? She hasn't been around the last few days.

:( Abba Drummer found dead in Spain File this one under undignified deaths:
A former member of the Swedish pop group Abba has been found dead at his home in Spain.
Ola Brunkert, a drummer who played on all the band's albums, is believed to have bled to death from a throat wound after crashing through a glass door or window.
The 62-year-old managed to walk outside to seek help but died in his garden, according to police sources on the island of island of Mallorca. There is no suggestion of foul play.

Ok - I have personal news this morning.
Two years ago I was very excited that mom got what we thought was a great job at a contracting office with really good pay. She's been going a great job for those two years for want turns out is a psycho boss. This woman throws things, slams stuff around including her door, makes snotty comments within earshot of the person she's trying to cut down and generally over the last month has been nitpicking mom to the point she is a ball of stress, second guessing everything she does and we even drove out her office on sunday to triple check something she did on friday.
We talked about it all weekend and the whole situation has been nothing but stressing the whole house out for about month. Which is why I haven't been really talkative the last week.
Anyway - this morning mom gave her two weeks notice. She has no fall back for a job, this is probably one of the biggest risks she's ever taken. So I'm hoping everyong will keep us in their prayers or good wishes for her to find a good job with good people.
Oh - and I'm still going to the DC thing in April! :)

It'll be tough with the current job market. But if you can't work under those conditions, it's probably for the best.

Ya, neither of us has ever come across that before. It was to the point I thought she could have a heart attack or stroke plus her smoking had doubled since this all started happening.
There is something better out there and it's a little scary to make this jump but I think we're going to be okay.

Anywho -Shane-O: I'll be skipping the Basketball thingy- but if'n you have one for BASEBALL - count Velveeta IN!!
Mala - So sorry to read about your Mom's troubles with her boss. Does the boss have a boss over her? If so, then your Mom should really go and talk with that boss -IMO. I wish her (and you) all the best, it is tough out there.

Ideally that would be the thing to do. First off Mom hates comfrontation. Second the person over her boss is her VP hubby, so she didn't feel like she had anywhere to go.

Her husband is one of the company's VP's. Plus she is good friends with one of the other VP's. She would have stayed if it weren't for this woman who wasn't willing to train mom in the job she was hired to do and put an incredible amount of stress on her.

Mala. Did you ever hear back from Shelagh about the DC trip?
Yes, she, HBK and I are sharing a room. Haven't talked to her recently though.
At least we got that worked out. It looks like we could have a really big group. WE might be too big to have Raintinis in Bob and Raine's room.
Then we will find other places to have them :D

This caller is indeed correct. Wer have an angry Black man, and yes, america doesn't seem to know what to do with that.
Seriously where is the outrage over the people that are supporting John McCain?
Hell, if we are going to be judgedby what the people we know, care about and even love, then I would be considered one of the most vile people you know.
Zeitgiest, yup, that is the word of the day. Thanks to that caller.

well, one thing you never do is hug a scared cat. No... that would have been a deadly thing for for me to do. I just made sure I knew whereshe was, and if we needed to make a run for it, I would have grabbed her up right fast.

Mala, under the circumstances, your mother should be eligible for unemployment. She needs to put together as detailed a list as possible with dates of all the problems this woman gave her. Most likely, unless the company doesn't dispute the claim, there will be a hearing. In which case, your mother may need to consult with an attorney. I googled "quitting and getting unemployment" without the quotes and every state's website had a provision for bad work conditions that included harassment.

Ok - I have personal news this morning.
Two years ago I was very excited that mom got what we thought was a great job at a contracting office with really good pay. She's been going a great job for those two years for want turns out is a psycho boss. This woman throws things, slams stuff around including her door, makes snotty comments within earshot of the person she's trying to cut down and generally over the last month has been nitpicking mom to the point she is a ball of stress, second guessing everything she does and we even drove out her office on sunday to triple check something she did on friday.
We talked about it all weekend and the whole situation has been nothing but stressing the whole house out for about month. Which is why I haven't been really talkative the last week.
Anyway - this morning mom gave her two weeks notice. She has no fall back for a job, this is probably one of the biggest risks she's ever taken. So I'm hoping everyong will keep us in their prayers or good wishes for her to find a good job with good people.
Oh - and I'm still going to the DC thing in April! :)

Say gang, what's up with the rumor I heard this weekend about Obama leaning towards our own Sen. Kerry as a possible VP?
Not to put it mildly, that would be a deal-breaker for me. I would not vote for that ticket, since I will never vote for John Kerry again. And I've heard that from a couple of members of my family, too.

No I mean 2010, the next time the party gets together and BEFORE the next presidential election year. Not sure if they are going to have a big fancy convention, but 2010 is when the party gets together to makes the rules for the next election year.
We can't change the rules DURING an election year, so 2010 would be the next logical time to do so.

This whole superdelegate crap was because they didn't want another McGovern, but I think the times have changed (not that there was anything worng with McGovern, Nixon was the problem) and the party should respect what the voters want but the insiders probably don't want to give up their power and they are the ones that got us in this mess to begin with.

Happy St. Patrick's Day. My people get an entire month!
Program alert: The panel discussion in Washington, DC, with Stephanie will be on CSPAN-2 today, 6:30 to 7:35 pm ET as fer as I can tell. Sometimes their schedules are a bit off. Blame it on the green ale, but only for today.

I have an assignment for Shano-O, should he choose to accept it. If you go to this link, http://www.podjockey.com/events/nms2007.html and scroll down to "The Talk Ramble", you will find a panel discussion with Stephanie. About 18 minutes in, she says "fuck you" - I think this would be a lovely Audi-Con, but I don't have the know-how to make such things happen.
May the force be with you.

I had a "Northeast Liberal" moment today. We had some folks visiting us from "the heartland", and all the men were in the dark, manly suits.
I'm here in my pink shirt, metrosexual Olbermann glasses, and a pastel Jerry Garcia tie.
The guy in the back was looking at me somewhat askance...

I certainly would never censor... I sent it to 4F - as I'm not sure if I can put up audicons - and if I can, I can't quite figure out how yet - so, give it a day or so

OMG... EXCELLENT assignment Izzy! If Shane-O get's it, I promise it will be on the audicon list!
BTB, we will eventually be reorganizing the audicons... I really think we need some categories, and maybe removing those that are rarely if ever used....
Comment by Raine on 03/17/2008 21:36:45
It will get put up... right now the code monkey is at work... he knows how to get that up(in the audicon list... perverts! :rofl:).....and for shane-o, I think that we can figure out a way to allow you to put the audiocon stuff up yourself. Just give us a little time.
In the mean time when you get it, send it on... we will have it up
asap... we are not big on censoring either, so I think by after midnight tonite we will have it ....
Thanks Izzy for the hedz up and thanks shane-o for the clip!

When I try to preview play them since I wasn't sure on some of them, it wouldn't open up the Quicktime file. Unless it's particular for certain browsers. Some audicons I haven't used because I wasn't sure what they were.
