I missed the weekly machine cleaning because I was too busy fighting with another pair of machines that refuse to bend to my will.
And I am exhausted now. Geez.

I can’t put my finger on it, but he feels like so much BS off the bat.

Morning Pan!
My hubby was a bad boy. We were suppose to be able to sleep in this morning but, while I reset my alarm, somebody forgot to set their alarm to the new time. Not only that, when his alarm went off, he hit the wrong button and the alarm then went off five minutes later. That was that, the kitty decided it was time for me to wake up. Which wasn’t fair because hubby managed to roll over and get an extra hours sleep. Someone owes me a nap.

TEB congrats to Calgary last nite. While I’d never want them to beat the Avs, it does give me solace that Calgary is only a point behind Detroit now.
Show time.
March 18th, 2010 at 5:31 am
Only a point is still out of the playoffs, Lo Pan. We’ll see what the future brings.

I watched Lady Vengeance this morning and I agree with Jack. This was the best one. But then, it builds so beautifully on the themes and ideas from the prior two, that it isn’t possible for me to evaluate it on its own.
And I think calling it a trilogy is wrong. It is more a triptych instead.
The thing with the scissors and the tofu… yeah, that got me good.

Flower? Oh til I went to bed round 2 or so.
Me loves L7. Smell the Magic. bitches!
March 18th, 2010 at 9:45 am
I think I brushed against L7 too soon. I’d just met Depeche Mode and Suzanne Vega; L7 was just too much.
I should look ‘em up again now.
And cool on ya for keeping the flower on.
March 18th, 2010 at 9:47 am
i think I did the opposite. L7 was early high school, just as I was truly forming opinions about what kind of music I truly loved. Suzanne and Depeche came much later for me.
Flower Power.
March 18th, 2010 at 9:59 am
I also love L7. I have an inside source (same one as for the Alice in Chains info from a few weeks back) who says Donita Sparks is truly whack, and somewhat toothless.
My favorite L7 lyrics go: “enough about me/lets talk about you/what do you think of me me me”
March 18th, 2010 at 10:02 am
I found L7 during the “grunge” movement. I remember Pearl Jam saying how L7 and Sonic Youth were under appreciated. So true.
March 18th, 2010 at 10:04 am
Inside Source = Wikipedia…… ;P
Wait what song is that?
My fav lyrics are “bite the wax, bite the wax tadpole. bite it. tadpole.”
Thats rock.
March 18th, 2010 at 10:06 am
The song is “I Need” from The Beauty Process album. Would you like to “borrow” it?
What’s your song?
March 18th, 2010 at 10:08 am
Oh hell! I dunno if I have that album.
The song is “Bite the Wax Tadpole”. heh. From their debut. Feel free to…uh.. “borrow” that too.
March 18th, 2010 at 10:12 am
Nice! I don’t have that one.
March 18th, 2010 at 10:13 am
My friend “Wikipedia” was going to “loan” me hers, but she lives in WA and I’m tired of waiting!
March 18th, 2010 at 10:14 am
Do you have Smell the Magic?
March 18th, 2010 at 10:14 am
But Wikipedia is supposed to be the fastest way to get info!
March 18th, 2010 at 10:16 am
I don’t! I only have the one album, and the Tank Girl soundtrack. My L7 collection is a bit lacking!
March 18th, 2010 at 10:19 am
THATS IT???? Oddly the only one I dont have is the one you do have. I’ll borrow them to you next I see you. Classics.

Hey Pan!
Had my excitement for today. Took a girlfriend to lunch. When we got back a condo unit by her office was up in flames (that’s an understatement) so all the main roads were closed. Had to find a back route to Edge to get her to work. I did offer to bring her home with me and we could have coffee all day but she said she had work to do. Spoil sport.

Just listened to the unshow, good luck Jack.
My spine of glass comment was just me feeling sorry for myself, still in a lot of pain with my back, the painkillers prescribed by the Doc are next to useless and I’m relying on sponging stronger painkillers from a relative to get some relief at night.
March 18th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I was saddened after listening to Slice a couple weeks ago and hearing how skewered The Crazies is getting via critics. Image my surprise that, after over 130 reviews, its still at 72% fresh on Tomatoes. Thats excellent, and now I wanna see it again.
Repo Men on the other hand….yeesh. That saddens me how basted its getting.
I figured one of these two films would be a dumb slasher movie. Never thought itd be Repo.

No really, I would have come up with the “Hadoken of cuddles”.
That is awesome!
March 18th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Ouch Jack very Ouch
I have to remember to read further up in the comments before I post.
March 18th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
To be honest, I don’t think I can watch Repo Men without thinking of Monty Python: “We’re here for your liver.” I think that will just ruin the movie for me. :)
March 18th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Oh ditto, that would make it so much better.
March 18th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
No worries, everyone. I appreciate the thoughts.
Carry on.
I do hope your back feels better, Van. Nothing funny about that. I hear the Canadian healthcare system has a method of replacing your entire skeletal structure with Adamantium – might be worth a look.

“Compared to the Japanese, we are incompetent. In Japan, every criminal gets caught. For major crimes, convictions run ninety-nine percent. So any criminal in Japan knows from the outset he is going to get caught. But here, the conviction rate is more like seventeen percent. Not even one in five. So a criminal in the States knows he probably isn’t going to get caught – and if he’s caught, he won’t be convicted, thanks to all his legal safeguards.”

March 18th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
I was under the impression, that the reason the Japanese capture rate was so high was because there was very little crime compared to the US or UK.

A: I send you good luck through the Ether. I hope there will be reason to have another party soon.
B: I don’t get the self-indulgent part. As Nomad Scry said, we’re a community. I guess it’s self-indulgent to have connections through an online community? Or perhaps the party is self-indulgent? Aren’t parties by definition self-indulgent? Damn, I had rum last night. I indulged my ass with that spicy nectar! Tonight, I will not make the Vitameatavegemin food-substitute that we normally eat. I’m going to be self-indulgent by seasoning my chicken. My summation is that this most likely comes from some miserable ass that needs to re-learn that one should listen twice as much as they speak.

Let me just say, SyFy would have rejected this as too low quality to run as a Saturday night flick.

TEB: When I went to that Kung Fu class, my feet got some pretty good abrasions, top and bottom. Lady J asked what was on my feet. “Eh, just blood.”. It’s annoying when you first start up again.

Hows the snow up north, EssBee?

The snow is HEAVY. I can’t even see the furniture whorehouse from my window today. The roads are just wet, though. Down South?

so the email:
From 1:
I had to reset your password to gain access to IT information and tools that are hosted on your workstation
Would you please send me your login password.
Reply from 2:
If you reset my password, I don’t have a clue what it’d be.
Reply from 1:
Password for login username (If you logged off your workstation and logged back in)
Reply from 2:

Bunny, or you could make some kind of cookies he doesn’t like
March 19th, 2010 at 8:47 am
I think this bunny is destined not to make cookies. The fuse blew on her oven. Off to get a replacement. Then we’ll try the cookie thing again.

So I can never understand people who, even if you bring in a sample of what you’re looking for (i.e the old fuse) try to sell you the wrong thing.
After much argument, I got my new fuse, put it in the oven aaaannnnndddd…
nothing. Damn. That means I’ll have to call a repairman. No cookies for the hubby today
Now what do I do with this cookie dough?

Jack: you can always try getting a new HD for the laptop and plugging the old HD into an external HD slot and see if you can reclaim the data. All may not be lost. if you’re still having difficulty, I live nearby many geeks who may be able to recover the data for you. Just let me know.
March 19th, 2010 at 3:53 pm
I am the mad Zardoz, what bombs at midnight!

Jack: If all else fails, you can ship the drive to me. I’ve recovered data before and I’d be happy to do it for you. So long as the head isn’t buried in the platter, all hope is not lost.

Saw Repomen tonight. I’ll have to do a mash up audio promo for it. I was laughing quite hard when Jude Law’s character was watching TV and I hear “We’ve come for your liver”. Pure awesomeness. Movie was different then I had expected. It’s one of those movies that’ll have you thinking a few hours after you see it. Worthy of discussion this movie is.
Goodnight mush.
Jack: Wish I could do more than just cheer you on with your purchase. Good luck getting back up and running!

Has anyone used Carbonite or something like it for automated online backup services? I’ve been thinking it would be a better idea than my current setup (duplicating to the portable drive sitting next to my tower) and after Jack’s loss… well, I’m superstitious and would consider this my final warning.

Good morning, DP! Today, I’m finishing The Gathering Storm and drinking coffee. It’s too cold and snowy to do anything else (well, we could clean).
March 20th, 2010 at 5:34 am
Re: Ume:
Grooveshark only has Wake and Hurricane. Wake is one of the worst things I’ve ever submitted my ears to. Hurricane isn’t so bad. Sort of a like if Janis Joplin was lead singer in Ladytron.
March 20th, 2010 at 6:05 am
I see a storm coming towards Houston. Which one of you Coloradans let it out of the state?
March 20th, 2010 at 8:09 am
That was me, Ed!
Also, I finished The Gathering Storm! Good, good stuff!
March 20th, 2010 at 9:46 am
To each his own, Null. Dont judge a body of work by two songs tho. Go look up the ne EP “Sunshower”. May be more your style.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:33 am
We have cleaned and cleaned and cleaned this morning – wow, how do we accumulate so much STUFF? Now we’re headed to the Hard to Recycle joint in Boulder. We have plastic bags from two tons of pellets – it was a COLD winter! From there, we’re off to order lumber for new fascia and soffit and to pick a paint color.
I checked out Ume on emusic, and dig em. I’m not sure I heard Wake or Hurricane – my short-term memory is exceptionally SHORT.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:53 am
Lo Pan: No, totally. That’s why I tried to emphasize the difference between the two tunes.
March 20th, 2010 at 11:00 am
Wake and Hurricane come from their 2005 album Urgent Sea. Their earlier sound is much rougher and stripped down. The newer EP has a fuller, more produced sound. I noticed Grooveshark does have “The Conductor”. Give that a try. You might like that better. I love Pendulum.

I told you “The Gathering Storm” was going to be a good one.
Though, I still haven’t forgiven you for hooking me on Acacia. Now I’ve got two series that I’m having to wait for the next book on. :)

March 20th, 2010 at 12:45 pm

Gotta say, “Lady J” is a kick ass name for your better half, Null :)
March 20th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
Sorry, Ed. Now I feel like I want to read all the WOT books again – maybe via audiobook. I’ve read these effing books 3 times already. I really like what is happening with the Aes Sedai and liked Rand’s big finish in the latest book.
I have three series for which I’m waiting for books: Fire and Ice, WOT, and Acacia! At least we know with Acacia that #3 will be the last . . .
Man, Boulder sux.
March 20th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
I haven’t even looked at the bb tournament this year. I played some basketball once upon a time. I don’t know why I’m not more into it.

March 20th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
Sorry JM. I’m all tapped out right now.
March 20th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
I made a vow to myself that I wasn’t going to reread the WOT until the last book was done. I’ve got plenty to read/listen to to keep me busy, but now that I can be reasonably sure that the series will be finished (and finished well, if Sanderson’s first book is any indication) that I am looking forward to hitting it from the beginning.
There are a few other series that I follow, though with some of them (like Janny Wurts), I’m not even sure why anymore. Others, like the Sword of Truth, are, as far as I know, complete. I’m just working my way through them.
March 20th, 2010 at 3:46 pm

Jack, Rhettro, and any other guitarists here: Tonight, I went to Country at the Merc (a live music show), and the lead guitarist had forgotten his slide bar. He used a cell phone. It worked perfectly well. I thought you would be amused, and perhaps file this fact away for future reference.
Night, Pan.
March 21st, 2010 at 6:16 am
Good Sunday Morning, DP!
We watched Whiteout with Kate Beckinsale last night. OMG, what a stinker. Writing = awful; acting = embarrassing; plot = sophomoric. But we watched the whole thing. It starts w/ Kate in the shower and goes straight downhill from there for about 1.5 hours.
No I’m catching up on my comic subscriptions. I’ve set them aside since I started the Jordan book, and they’ve really piled up!
March 21st, 2010 at 7:39 am
Gratuitous shower scene or stupid PG-13 shower scene?
Id give her a “whiteout”…..
March 21st, 2010 at 8:11 am
PG-13 shower scene, but R-rated bend-over just before the shower scene. I’d say, watch the first 15 minutes.
March 21st, 2010 at 8:29 am
Lo Pan: Thanks, I’m glad you appreciate it.
March 21st, 2010 at 8:34 am
wow. a quiet night at the deadpan. I hope all is well with the pan.

So it’s a ski movie ?
March 21st, 2010 at 9:33 am
If you are willing to take the time and can spare a tab in your browser, then you can listen to Ume’s 2nd album off of their website.
I had something else I wanted to say, perhaps in response to Lo Pan, but EssBee’s shower scene completely drove all thoughts from my mind.
March 21st, 2010 at 9:38 am
“…EssBee’s shower scene completely drove…”
Completely drove …heheheheh
March 21st, 2010 at 9:55 am
Looking through news updates and see that the HCR will be voted on today.
If it does indeed pass, I find myself wondering if by tomorrow evening the country will have the same ” non-event, let down” that the country felt after Y2K came and went with barely a whimper.
I suspect that the followers of the radical right will be standing around feeling cheated because the gates of hell did NOT open up and all our major cities are NOT in flames with chaos and rioting in the streets.
… and those who have been desperately needing some relief from healthcare costs will suffer the letdown of realizing that they won’t see anything change for months (at best).
There has just been so much build up about this … both fear and hope – without this issue to dominate the news, what will the public use to fill the void?
Will the College Basketball Tourny be enough … or do you think we will need another major celebrate scandal?
March 21st, 2010 at 9:56 am
celebrate = celebrity
March 21st, 2010 at 10:30 am
Missed ya, JOe!
March 21st, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Shower scenes will do that, Nomad. Unless its a shower scene that includes Steve Buschemi. No one wants that.
March 21st, 2010 at 12:17 pm
J0e, if the US needs another celeb scandal, I will gladly volunteer to be the “other guy” of Kate Beckensale. And how.
March 21st, 2010 at 12:18 pm
Sam Adams makes an excellent Ale.
March 21st, 2010 at 12:49 pm
I didn’t know who Ms. Beckensale was … so I googled her.
Wow!
Now I preoccupied with the thought of googling her.
March 21st, 2010 at 1:10 pm
I was a late bloomer to Kate’s glory as the first time I saw her was in Underworld. Nufff said.

March 21st, 2010 at 8:22 pm
Lo Pan … thanks for the link!
Believe it or not, I have an mild interest in one of those teams.
March 21st, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Awwww, well thanks peeps :) it was fun to play by play again. Hugh has been having a bit of an off day and needed the laugh.
Lo Pan, I don’t think its so much as a tournament no one cares about, its more about the schools and the kids than the actual sport. Like March Madness isn’t for the love of basketball. Its for the love of peoples schools. Every NCAA tournament in every sport is exciting, for that school and those kids. Honestly 7 times out of 10 people are more into hockey than basketball it seems.
Hugh was saying they should start doing highschool tournaments because they just cancelled all sports programs for all Freshman and Sophmores in Chicago Public Schools. They already cancelled art and music, now they are taking away their sports. It sucks. If they are not good enough to play in varsity, they can’t play at all. March Madness for all its annoyance keeps sports programs going in schools.
Course on the flip side the whole ignoring a kids education if he is a great athlete is pretty lame too :)

@ Amy Bowen — I can totally imagine playing slide with a cell phone, though it wouldn’t work real well with mine. I think I could do it with my wife’s.
My first slide was a piece of copper pipe that I found in my backyard when I was about 17. It fit my ring finger perfectly, so I polished it up and used it for years. My son still uses it today. I finally upgraded to a glass slide because I got tired of my finger turning green
I’ve also attempted to play slide with a screwdriver, a Sharpie, a Swiss Army knife, and a Colt .45 revolver. Thankfully I managed that last one without killing anyone or scratching the barrel (which probably would have led to my own death at the hands of my father). And I sounded equally bad with all of them

March 22nd, 2010 at 5:08 am
Van, I stopped watching Desperate Housewives about 3 months ago. I just couldn’t take it anymore.
March 22nd, 2010 at 5:24 am
I caught a few episodes but it quickly became so bad that I found I was just fast forwarding through large portions of it … then I hit one about a tornado that was just soooo bad/silly that I took the show off my TiVo list.
March 22nd, 2010 at 5:35 am
I think hubby and I watched one or two episodes when it came out but dropped it pretty quick.
March 22nd, 2010 at 6:43 am
Just got off the phone with the founder of our local SF convention. He spent close to an hour bitching at me over the new guest list (all media, no authors). He hasn’t been involved for several years, but still gets very upset if things do not follow how he thinks they should be. I shrug and say, if we wanted to put in our opinion we should still be involved, otherwise it’s no longer our call. Cliff says he agrees, but I still get the hour long phone call rants. Silly man.
Here is the current guest list if anybody cares: http://www.con-version.org/Announcements.html

On the other side, why are kitties so cute looking when they wash their face?

Now going to change the kitty litter and take out the garbage
March 22nd, 2010 at 8:23 am
Among other things, I pulled a load of laundry from the dryer. My kitty is finally curled up on the warm, fresh from the dryer, towels. I’m almost jealous.
It looks like we’re going to get a bit of weather. My kitty’s arthritic and I’m sure she’s feeling it today.

March 22nd, 2010 at 12:02 pm
In some areas socialism is absolutely necessary to actual get something done or in some cases to save money. I can admit that. I don’t think any tea party goer would deny that. IE the Subway in New York or their city watter. but for me in my little town I have a well and I never use public transit.
Would people on the other end take a pledge to for go anything that was brought about by capitalism? I’m sure they wouldn’t. I wouldn’t expect them to. But there are lines that I don’t think should be (or should have been) crossed. One example is Unemployment Insurance. I would buy my own if their wasn’t a system in place.

OMG. I’m older than EssBee. I’m not sure why that comes as such a surprise…
EssBee: I was the manager of my highschool BB Team. I lettered in it. Now, I don’t watch it either.
VAN: John Barrowman played a Blond Arian Nazi in “The Producers”. The man can sing. It was proof that he could easily pull off Captain America… Of course, he’s a citizen of the UK, so the ‘merican Hollywierd perducers decided not to use him. Bollocks. He’d be awesome.
George Lazenby is still alive? 2nd Worst Bond evar. How does he fit into the rest of the Trek themed guests?
Gas Station Customer: “Damn these glasses, son.”
Navan Johnson: “OK. I Damn Thee!”

reaper: The movie is The Jerk. Steve Martin flick. He plays “a poor black child” named Navan (Navin?) Johnson.
On his adventure to find a place where he can fit in, he goes through a number of jobs, like working at a circus, and a gas station attendant.
A man comes into his service station, is constantly leaning forward and having his glasses slide off his face and cursing the glasses. At one point he says “Damn these glasses, son.”
So Navan picks up the glasses, points at them and says, “I Damn Thee!”.
Then he repairs the glasses so that they stop falling of the man’s face, and adds a little handle to the bridge so that the man won’t put stress on the hinges which causes them to fall off, but rather put all the stress on the bridge where it belongs.
The invention later becomes called “the Optigrab” and makes and loses Navan a fortune.

Got the VHS for a birthday.
Lost the VHS when an apartment got burglarized.
Searched long and hard for a replacement years later, only to find a copy with Spanish subtitles (¡Exellente!)
And then it finally was released to DVD, and I now have a copy that I can watch any old time.

All my life
I’ve wanted to fly
Like the birds
that you see
way up in the sky.
Making circles
in the morning sun
Flying hi in the sky
’til the day is done.
I can’t break away.
I can’t break away.
Like a child
in his fantasy
Punching holes
in the walls
of reality
All my life
I’ve wanted to fly
but I don’t have the wings
and I wonder why
I can’t break away.
I can’t break away.
Oh, Momma told me
when I was young
Stand tall girl you’re number one
Well you can be
what you want to be
but you can’t change the course of your
destiny
I can’t break away.
I can’t break away.

(Although, part of me is wondering: If “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” was made and distributed by Hollywood companies, as I presume it was, why on Earth did they go all the way to Phoenix/Tempe to film when the real San Dimas is right in their backyard? Or maybe it was made independently?)
I am serious about wanting to go and see those places the next time I’m in Phoenix, though.

Chris Evans can’t pull off Captian America. Maybe Cap’n ‘merica, but not the Marvel character. OH HELL… This is one of those “Disney-fications” isn’t it? Would much rather have seen John Barrowman in the part.

Yes Lejon but you know Barrowman was a pipe dream. Like Ive said, Evans was the only redeeming portion of the Fantastic Four movies so we (at least lots of folks I talk to) know he can play a superhero role pretty well. Again, not my first choice but it doesnt make me cringe either.
March 23rd, 2010 at 8:58 am
Shouldnt Barrowman be trying to save the American version of Torchwood??????? :P

Lo Pan: I have no problems with Evans playing superheroes. But I see him more as the smart-alec, cocky one, not the Super Soldier. He should be playing Green Arrow or Spider-man, or a red shir… um… Side Kick… yeah…
Barrowman, in all his greatness, could never save the American Torchwood. It is doomed, because American TV execs don’t “Get” British shows.
Rhettro: Brendon Frazer is a little past his Superhero-in-tights prime I think.
EssBee: Barrowman is an actor. He may be a flaming cream-cheese filled bagel in real life, but when he’s on screen, he’s 100% professional and in the role. He has a weight to his performances that says, in all simplicity, “hero”. That’s what Captain America needs. But instead, they went with the court jester…

Thanks for the link!
I tried it as well and got the same results.
“What this bill means for your insurance coverage:

If any other ‘Merican Deadpanites would care to try out that link it would make for an interesting and likely, statistically insignificant sub-sample.
March 23rd, 2010 at 10:22 am
I do have 2 concerns, maybe someone better-informed can clear these up?:
What’s the deal with the fines for uninsured citizens? So if I lose my job and can’t afford Health Insurance, I get a fine to add to my financial woes?
Currently, people *with* insurance coverage are getting bankrupted by their serious illnesses. How has this been addressed?
March 23rd, 2010 at 10:24 am
Lejon: “Barrowman, in all his greatness, could never save the American Torchwood. It is doomed, because American TV execs don’t “Get” British shows”
Agreed. Tho The Office is a welcome exception. Until this piss poor season at least.
March 23rd, 2010 at 10:25 am
On more important topics: Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey is a terrible film, but the hilarious scenes with Death justify one viewing.

Is it a hit?
Negative… just impacted on the surface
March 23rd, 2010 at 10:29 am
Just for fun … I played with the “annual income” numbers on the calculator link that JR posted above.
Seems that I would have to make over $200,000 a year before this new plan cause my taxes to go up. At $200,001 I would see my medicare payroll taxes go up by .9%
I know that is terrible and all … but I just want to say that, because I love you guys and want to make sure ALL of you an get coverage and I’m totally socialist and all that … If someone out there would be willing to pay me $200,001 U.S. dollars a year, I’m volunteering to take the check and suffer that .9% tax hike.
Hey, I’m here for you guys.
(BTW – get me that $200,001 per year job and I throw in ALL the food and drinks at the next Mmmmmmeet-up!)
March 23rd, 2010 at 10:33 am
Hell, if I made over 200K per year, I’d sponsor and host the deadpan and probably move Jack to San Diego :)
March 23rd, 2010 at 10:34 am
Jack – good questions to which I don’t know the answers.
I input – “No insurance” and “0″ income in the old calculator and this is what came up.
“GAME OVER MAN!”
okay. not really.
This is what came up.
“What this bill means for your insurance coverage:
Beginning no later than 2014, you will be eligible for Medicaid. The health bill expands Medicaid to all individuals and families with income at or below 133 percent of the federal poverty level. Depending on where you live, people with higher incomes may also be eligible.

Basically I see the ‘tax the rich’ method as ‘punish the successful’ which I don’t agree with. I know people need help from time to time, but Welfare has been used as a lifestyle by far too many and something else needs to be put in place. Like making the welfare recipients who are capeable of working do work for the government like cleaning up the highways, digging ditches, SOMETHING. Get people off the mindset of I deserve something for free.
Okay, I’ll stop ranting and go back to listening to 8-bit metallica songs :)
March 23rd, 2010 at 10:47 am
Lejon: I’m not sure I agree with you on the actor thing as a blanket statement. I think the reality show I saw on BBC America with him as the host ruined me ever seeing him as C.A. I can see him as a hero. I can see him in tights with a cape. Just not C.A.
Lo Pan: smoke?
March 23rd, 2010 at 10:48 am
One of the biggest problems with “tax the rich” is the rich leave or find some other way to pay less. I’m not rich but I pay an accountant every year to do my taxes because I don’t want to pay anymore than I have to.
March 23rd, 2010 at 10:50 am

A system that withdrew unfair percentages of taxes from the wealthy would be unfair and, as reaper points out, self-defeating.
I’ll go out on a limb and assert that no mega-wealthy person’s lifestyle has been negatively impacted by any US Presidential Admin’s tax policies during our lifetimes. If you make over 200k per year, you’re not rich, but you definitely have some cushion… Every paycheck dollar doesn’t (literally) determine basic necessities like food, shelter, transportation, clothes etc.
Sigh. That 8-bit Orion is a wonderful thing.

March 23rd, 2010 at 11:08 am
JR – I am in agreement with you on the “no money for deadbeats thing” … but I think you VASTLY overestimate the number of “deadbeat” people on welfare.
There are millions of “working poor” out there. Folks that work 40 or more hours a week and still can’t afford food, clothing AND housing for their families. Throw in sudden medical care for something like the flue … and they are financially done for.
Case in point.
My own sister, who came from an upper middle class background and a college degree – found herself qualifying for government assistance when her military employed husband dumped her with 3 kids. She had a 40 hour a week job but
sailor boy’s meager child support combined with her salary did not raise her above the poverty line.
She was anything but deadbeat and it was not a lifestyle she had ever dreamed of, much less desired.
I really really really think you have been sold a bill of goods on the percentage of people who abuse the system and I believe this is because no one on Fox (or few other News-tainment shows for that mater) ever does a featured segment on the working poor … but they will march 2 or 3 gold chain wearing, Cadillac driving (no offense Ed – your car is teh hawt) welfare deadbeats in front of the camera in a heart beat and pass THEM off as representative of the entire group.
My sister had no interested in putting her story on TV. Those wishing to villainize her for needing assistance have an entire 24 hour, national TV network at their disposal. So it’s easy to see why conventional wisdom says – social programs are for deadbeats.
Just saying.
March 23rd, 2010 at 11:11 am
one more problem with “Tax the Rich” what about people like Paris Hilton?
she no longer needs an income so she could make $100/year but still be rich. Than she would have to pay no more than $4 (4% of annual income) for insurance.
Ditto, Baseball is sooooooo two weeks from now. 4-5 is the brewers home opener. Wish I could have gotten tickets for a reasonable price. I don’t watch cactus league games.

March 23rd, 2010 at 11:17 am
In addition to the working poor out there, there are lots of people who have untreated diseases (e.g., addiction, mental ilnesses) who would be lumped into the deadbeat category.

March 23rd, 2010 at 11:29 am
Hey Joe.
I understand people need help from time to time and I appreciate that. I know there are a LOT of people who truly need that assistance. My perspective comes from living in that condition for a number of years, seeing how many people abused the system, and made more money than I do now by popping out kids and staying single. My comments are by no means meant to belittle the situation of those who honestly need and deserve that help.
I have seen multi-genrational abuse of the system of granddaughters being educated by their grandmothers and mothers on how to get every last penny from the system. Have a few kids (who cares who the fathers are) apply for welfare, then have more kids. It’s really sad to see these kids grow up and realize this is NOT how life is supposed to be.
For those people who need the help, I’m all for them getting the help they need for as long as they need it, but I don’t see welfare as a lifestyle that many I’ve seen use it for. that’s all I’m saying.
I was in need at one time in my life and hopefully I’ve moved past that time. It sucked. Badly. I feel sorry for those that need that help. I wish there was something the government would do to help them OUT of their situation instead of just giving hand outs and keeping them in that situation.
March 23rd, 2010 at 11:30 am
I agree that we should safeguard against Cadillac-driving freeloaders (which doesn’t include Ed) and spoiled rich Paris Hiltons and George W. Bushes (can we pass an anti Paris Hilton law?), but not at the expense of the rest of us.
I’ve seen all of Akira Kurosawa’s samurai films – - the man was a genius.

I think my post came across too harsh.
What I am passionate about is … It’s not “helping people” that is our problem, it’s those who abuse our trust and goodwill. So let’s get tough on them and not all the people that they hide behind who truly need and are grateful for a hand in getting back up.

Wisconsin is particularly when it comes to the 0 income wealthy getting help. we have badger care for kids who’s parents don’t make a certain amount. I have a cousin who works at a clinic. She tells me all the time about people coming to the clinic in brand new Escalade’s with kids on badger care. but how to you measure wealth when it is easy to convert the money to something that isn’t counted.

Well, this is a nice bonus – my cable modem has been giving me trouble and my upload speeds have been crap of late. I took it to Comcast to swap out for a new one.
Still had trouble with the speed, so I did some playing around with the router. Flipped some switches and got a massive increase in my upload speed and a pretty good increase in my download speed as well.
I didn’t need the cable company to throttle my bandwidth. I was apparently choking myself.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming#Temperature_changes
“The most common measure of global warming is the trend in globally averaged temperature near the Earth’s surface”
so either the ‘global’ part is wrong or the ‘warming’ part is wrong. Either way, greenhouse gasses cause the entire Earth’s surface to be warmer in ‘global warming’. If it’s not, they there is something wrong with the name, its use, or the theory. Or I’m just really confused over the entire mess. :) Any of these are possible. Regardless, I still blame Al Gore for everything. if he hadn’t invented the internet, this wouldn’t be a problem. :)

I know he’s really sick. For this first time, that I recall, in the entire time I’ve known him, he’s actually taking a sick day. I use to say he’d have to be dead before he missed a day of work. I think I’m a little worried.

I don’t understand the box part, but I know you can’t make him. Even if you should. ;)
March 24th, 2010 at 6:42 am
Perhaps I should explain. I used to be the “I can suffer it fine” guy until I ended up in the hospital for two weeks because I had pneumonia for several weeks before and refused to admit I was not okay. Since then, I’m paranoid about everyone else going to the doctor. I don’t go very much more than I did before, but I certainly keep telling everyone else that they need to.
No, I’m not a hypocrite. Much.
March 24th, 2010 at 6:44 am

I go to the doctor regularly, but then I have medical issues that makes the doctors mad if I don’t.
My hubby has only been a couple of times in the years I’ve known him. He only recently started going to to dentist and started with the optometrist last year (it was seven years between visits). One step at a time is my attitude. I figure, sooner or later he’ll add the doctor to his routine.
March 24th, 2010 at 6:52 am
JR: Yes, global average temperatures go up, but your confusion is mistaking that for local scale changes. At a particular location, the temperature doesn’t necessarily go up. It is an average.
In addition, raising the global average temperature means that there is far more energy in weather systems. Since weather has never been very predictable, adding more energy means you’ll have bigger storms, larger temperature fluctuations, and so on.
This winter, storms disrupted the Gulf Stream and drove the current into the arctic. Adding energy to the polar region created a number of large winter storms that smashed Canada, the US, and many other northern countries. We got a colder winter, but the arctic “warmed” up.
As Amy pointed out, many scientists are moving away from the term “global warming” since the term is a bit confusing to the average person (pun intended).

opposition to nuclear power is like saying it’s better to drive battery powered cars.
battery powered cars use COAL from power plants to drive (worse pollution) and will create HUGE amounts of waste when all those batteries go bad and there’s no landfill that will take those batteries. So cars are damned if you do damned if you don’t, but we can’t all ride bikes.
Nuclear power on the other hand is safe and clean when you compare it to the massive trouble coal plants have had. They has also been huge changes in how they operate over the decades since the two (only 2 out of the hundreds of nuclear power plants) that have happened. And those two that happened, 3 Mile Island was only a close call. Chernobyl happened only because the Soviets had no clue as to what they were doing and screwed up royally.
That’s my opinion on nuclear power. Granted ‘green’ power would be nice, but it’s still far more expensive and not practical because people don’t want to lay down huge acres of solar panels because it’ll affect the wildlife. and we can’t drill for oil locally because it’ll affect the wildlife and we can’t build more nuclear power plants because people are afraid even though there are hundreds in the U.S. that have run safely for many many decades and thousands world wide that have also been running safely. Opposition to nuclear power can’t be based on what happened decades ago.

I have a correction to make. Calling it “Global Climate Change” is NOT more accurate by any means. It the use of soft language for those that cannot or will not come to grips with the fact that Global Warming is mostly man-made. Calling it “change” can sidestep these folk, and it can save scientists from having to re-educate people every time the phrase is used. Look at how many people still get the term theory wrong.
March 24th, 2010 at 11:45 am
Any advocate for nuclear power should be forced to live near a nuclear dump and feed their kids milk every day from local cows.
But seriously one of the the biggest problems with nuclear power is the highly radioactive waste generated and the NIMBY attitude by the general public.
March 24th, 2010 at 11:45 am
As for energy, justa J0e makes an excellent point. In most of these discussions, it becomes a false dichotomy between nuclear and coal.
I can say that I was all for nuclear energy. Seemed to me to be a no-brainer. This guy does a really, really fantastic job of breaking down nuclear energy. If memory serves, it’s roughly 35 minutes or so.

The nice thing about not being from this country is that I have not been indoctrinated in any of the party hyperbole. I’m neither conservative nor liberal. I am conservative on some issues, liberal on others.
One of the worst things to happen to this country was the acceptance of a two party system. It polarizes *all* debates. Every issue has to be divided into polar opposites: yes or no; us or them; I win, you lose. It’s idiotic since most issues can’t be dealt with in that way.
The only people that win in this kind of system are the politicians, lawyers, and lobbyists.

Here is the bottom line on my opposition to Nuclear Power plants.
There is not one thing man has ever constructed that has not failed at some point.
There is not one piece of complicated “whatever” that is operated by humans … that humans haven’t eventual had “catastrophic failure” due to “operator error”.
Yes, Nuclear power is much safer than it has ever been but anyone who thinks one of these plants won’t eventually have a catastrophic failure is living in a world of fantasy and denial.
Everything, be it elevators or aircraft or breakfast cereals – at some point can (and have) go very badly.
So we do “loss/benefit assessments” and determine what we’re willing to give up for the upside. For fast transportation we are willing to give up a 100 or so lives lost every few years.
Hydro-electric power – maybe a hundred families lose their property forever and when a dam fails may a few dozen people are killed.
Coal power – well, up till now we are willing to sacrifice a dozen or so minors a year and few thousand black lung/cancer deaths spread through out the mining communities and those living down wind of plants … but spread over many many decades.
When a Nuclear power plant goes catastrophically wrong though … have any of you REALLY thought about what THAT loss will entail. I’m not even talking about the dozen employees who might die nearly emediatly. I think we’re more then willing to risk “red shirts” for “clean power”. Hey, even the families in the emediate area who may suffer long term illness and death. We are all willing to say “tough luck” to them in exchange for clean power …
What no one wants to talk about is the crippling effect to the nation’s economy when 300,000 and up (some of these plants are located quite near major US cities) taxpayers are suddenly turned into refugees.
Do you remember how it disrupted things when a half million people were dislocated from the gulf coast for a few weeks following Katrina?
Well this won’t be a few weeks. It will be permanent. They leave home with little or nothing and since their homes and property lay within the plume … they have No jobs and NO collateral for loans.
So that’s my beef. I don’t see Nuclear power as being any more likely to fail than a commercial airliner … but one eventually will and the cost to this country will be devastating.
I think anyone who just shrugs that off is being exactly like those who were told the the levees in N.O. couldn’t withstand a major Hurricane and ignored it as something that could only possibly happen someday.
it’s just a check our nation couldn’t cover.

I think you are being incredibly disingenuous and belittling if you are saying that my POV is somehow “anti progress”.
Did I say we shouldn’t have elevators and aircraft and breakfast cereals?
I said we analyze gains vs. loss and in the case of Nuclear power the possible loss is not worth the possible benefits.

I mean no ill will. To me, Nuclear power is safe, clean, efficient and has been proven safe for nearly 50 years. Coal power has claimed lives, destroyed the environment (via Global Warming, Global Climate Change, etc) and is highly inefficient and we need a viable alternative. I can do nothing about how you feel or what you believe and I wouldn’t seek to do so. We all have opinions.
I’m just trying to get out of the conversation and save bad feelings. Hence the ‘god’ joke and the Amish comment.
On that note, I need to re-watch The Wall and prepare to talk to Jack about Floyd. That’ll be far more fun.
Joe, you rock as a person even if we don’t agree on power :) That’s what makes the U.S. a great place to live and the Deadpan a great place to hang out. no hard feelings. Let’s go back to lighter topics.

These are tumultuous political times, with the government taking big risky steps and radical forces getting far too much attention in the news, issuing unfunny threats and overblown doomsday predictions at the stability of our way of life. We’re all entitled to feel a little bit freaked out right now.
This is a great place for smart, rational people to have smart, rational discussions, but it’s also always been a place of stress-escape too.
