“What I think Obama is aiming for is, essentially, a confession from the Republicans that this is their fault. And in getting it, in getting that confession, Obama seeks to ensure that there will never, ever be tax cuts again. ‘Because look what they led to.’ And when or if the Republicans concede, that will be the story.”
–Rush Limbaugh, yesterday

Obama’s ratings are going up since the election.
You lost.
Ha ha.

The ususal suspects. The US Chamber of Commerce and the Republicans, stonewalling effective legislation to protect our cyber infrastructure.
Remember how Obamacare, during development, pretty much followed what the insurance companies wanted? Until they got it? ”We were for it until we were against it.”
Same thing with the bill that was proposed. Highly watered down, pretty much what the CoC wanted, then they don’t want it.

BTW, today is the 53rd anniversary of my family moving into this house on Whitaker Bayou. Never thought I’d be sitting here with gray hair waiting for Mom to die. Life.
Must be, because Rush has finally said something that makes the tiniest bit of sense.
This is their fault . . . and, taxes do need to increase . . . the clear evidence being looking at what those Bush tax cuts have led to.
This brief lucidity make me wonder what drugs that fat kid is hooked on now? ’Cause if it ain’t the drugs, well then . . .
. . . sorry people, 14 days and counting, we’re fucked.
Ecologist Steve Layman of Geosyntec Consultants and biologist Rick Mayden of Saint Louis University have discovered five new species of darters. They’ve decided to name them after five presidents and vice presidents who have “environmental cred”. This one is Etheostoma obama:
I am mainly posting this so I can re-share my friend’s remark, “Mr Prez, you’ve got a lovely darter.”

It wasn’t all that long ago that I heard the phrase “sticky wicket” for the first time:

As the industry claims it is oh so safe. fracking is allowed as long as:
1. The ingredients are fully disclosed in advanced.
2. The local hazmat teams approves those ingredients as not hazardous.
Yes there are arguments against fracking of any type. But this would be a significant improvement over what we have today. And it merely calls on the gas industry to prove what they’ve been claiming.
No, I am not making a personal statement. I am quoting from a “NoiseBot T-Shirts” ad running along the left column of Coloradopols.com. The ad shows a comely, well-endowed female model wearing a brown t-shirt with that delightful expression.
Does Coloradopols have no control over the ad content gracing its pages?

and cut Obama a large commission check. Seldom has one man done so much for an industry without actually doing anything.
Except for, you know, the tax cuts he’s pushing for the first $250,000 of everyone’s income.
Actually on my short playlist of beach walking songs.
The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.
Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
Can’t you feel the fears I’m feelin’ today?
If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away
There’ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
[Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy]
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.
Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulatin’
I’m sitting here just contemplatin’
I can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators don’t pass legislation
And marches alone can’t bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin’
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin’
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You may leave here for 4 days in space
But when you return, it’s the same old place
The poundin’ of the drums, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don’t forget to say grace
And, tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don’t believe
We’re on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.
Because everyone agrees that at least taxes shouldn’t go up for those making under $250,000 a year – but the Republicans won’t even agree to that.
That is the essence of reasonable compromise: agreeing to what you can all agree to, and at least getting that done.
The Republicans are holding continued tax rates for everyone hostage to getting their way on the remaining 2% of the wealthiest Americans – instead of letting the issue of tax rates for those people be considered on their own merits.
Obama can say: “If the Republicans get me a bill tomorrow a bill extending existing tax rates for those under $250K, I will sign it immediately.” The Republicans don’t have a rational response to that.
But happy anniversary, and best wishes to you and your Mom. Yes: life.
…Congress has shown, repeatedly, that any “cybersecurity” bill they try to pass generally endanger the people’s civil rights in one way or another (read; CISPA.)
Yes, we need a cybersecurity bill…but goddammnit, if anything like CISPA comes up again, then no.

“All alone in our cages,

Cheer up though, parsing…

I would be perfectly happy with your regs.
I also know who would not…
that these companies are able to keep secret what they’re pumping into the earth.
It’s just completely, utterly bizarre and I can’t understand any rational reason as to why they should be allowed to keep that secret. Is there one?
But I don’t know. Judging solely from its color, and ignoring any evidence to the contrary, I’d say it’s from someplace more exotic and foreign.
(Gosh, naming it for Obama really does make sense.)

There have been a number of Pols get togethers, but I think the one back in 2006? at Steve Y’s house was the first. AFAIC, it’s all family.
What ever happened to Steve?
Thanks for the congrats. I also chuckle about computers in our lives now, and then. And in one of those X degrees of separation, the associate of the woman who coined the term “a bug in the computer,” her husband lives a few doors away.
