Pretty close to what I want from a watch.  Not too bulky, stylish, and has a cellphone built in.

I've always liked Rosie Perez and John Leguizamo.  It turns out they are good friends and have a pretty intimate sex scene in the soon-to-be-released movie, "The Take".  What was it like?  According to Rosie:

Rosie Perez still looks great, don't you think?

There's a ton of good links as usual at dpud's place.  Take a look around and see what some of the regulars at Ace's have posted.  Steamboat McGoo has some fine Aurora pics if you like that sort of thing (I do) and his daily pr0n at the end of the post (no, I didn't click it.... yet.).

This is incredible stuff, although not available to domestic internet users, it's already in use by academic researchers in several fields.

“It will lead to what’s known as cloud computing, where people keep all their information online and access it from anywhere,” he said.

I don't care where else you go on the web today or what anybody else writes about... go over to
S. Weasel's and read today's entry.  Stoaty always has a good column, but this is special.

If you have a blog, consider linking to this.

Dr. Pat goes into great detail in her post about the MSM's repeated doom-and-gloom focus on the economy.  I've done half-a-dozen posts on this, so I obviously believe it's an important topic.  Dr. Pat says many of the same things I have, with a thorough explanation of the psychological mechanisms at work.

1 And there are other views, of course: http://mochassid.blogspot.com/2008/04/interpreting-data-two-people-can-look.html This gentleman, by the way, is a corporate lawyer for one of the banks in Manhattan, and seems to be a Republican (or at least, he's stated loud and clear that he has no intention of voting for Obama in November).

2 Republican, Democrat, or Independent doesn't matter if it makes sense. He does make sense. Maybe he should give a seminar for the MSM reporting staffs? btw, I looked through several of his other posts and while he's clearly Jewish (I couldn't understand half the terms he used, lol), I still couldn't tell what his politics are. I know the Democrats count heavily on the Jewish vote, but I know Jews who are conservative too, so I wouldn't put money on it either way.

Him being against Obama isn't necessarily because he's Republican considering the anti-semitic rantings of Pastor Wright. You know, after 7 years of wrongly forecasting economic disaster, the MSM should probably realize that maybe their "gym memberships" are down for a different reason than they originally assumed. The problem is, they never question their own assumptions.

3 He posted a couple of months ago that he wouldn't be voting for Obama, although he didn't say who he would be voting for.  At any rate, about the time of the NY primary, before the Wright hit the fan.

Don't worry about understanding all the words.  I don't get all of them myself. Some are Yiddish, and some are yeshivish.  This is a special dialect found only among Orthodox Jews, and consists of using a Talmudic term (not just a Hebrew word, but a Talmudic term with, usually, technical meanings) as often as possible in an English sentence.
To construct a parallel, this would be like you, a nurse, telling a non nurse that whenever the button comes off your shirt, you suture it back on.

BTW, last night I thought I would download the Yoo memorandum from the Washington Post website, so I could parse it.(Remember you asked me if I could find statements ex ore equum from the horse's mouth (better not get yeshivish on you) about Administraiton claims to unlimited power? I figured that would be a good place to look.)  Discovered when I read it this morning they only made the first 40 pages available, but made it sound like they were posting the whole memo!

4 I thought they were posting the whole memo as well.  Interesting to say the least.  You'd think somebody from one side or the other would be making a big deal out of it.

You can always use Latin here.  What I didn't pick up in college, I can ask my 14 year old son... he's taking Latin right now.  Besides, Google translator is my friend!

5 Went back and found the rest; they hid parts 3 and 4 under an extra click.
Will be sending you an email tomorrow.  There are some interesting statements in there.  He lays out an argument whose logical result, among other things, is that the UCMJ is unconstitutional, but either he didn't realize what the logic of his argument would end in, or he realized and decided to pretend it didn't.  The result is a muddle in some respects.  I'll try to explain in the email.  Most of the memo is actually a discussion of the law applicable to torture, and it ought to be required reading for anyone interested in that topic.  Some blogger or other wondered why it was classified in the first place, and I agree: I don't see anything that needed to be kept secret, and a good deal which would have clarified the torture discussion when it was the hot topic.

6 I can think of two plausible reasons it might have been classified without even having read it.  First one, to force al-Qaida to wonder what the policy was.  Second one, because these folks love to classify stuff so they feel important (and by these folks, I mean politicians... of all parties).

I'll look forward to the email when you get a chance to send it.  If you're interested, we could collaborate on a post about it after giving it a thorough review.  I bet that between us we could put together something exceptionally good.

As usual, dpud skewers leftist talking points and serves them up as BBQ.  Of course, when the points don't really know what their point is supposed to be, it's almost self-fisking.  I love the gun graphic and caption.

Be sure to check out the moronosphere links too.  Look for the Daily Dollop link (that's just the main site... go to dpud and find the link I mean... seriously... it's almost halfway down... yes, that one... :sigh:... now click it!... right... now check out the reading level of your favorite blogs... no, not this one, I don't write to show intelligence, I write to be understood, big difference... now come back here and start going through the archives or I'm going to start posting more Tron videos... plzkthx)

1 (cough cough) I always thought posting Tron videos was a sign of intelligence myself.

2 You're obviously much more discerning and intelligent than some of the other visitors here.

3 (gulp, gag) It must be watching them that indicates "deficiency"? Or causes it?

4 Hater.

Check out the "around the moronosphere in 80 iq points, april fool's edition" at doubleplusundead.  Some really funny stuff to go with the serious stuff.

As usual, dpud (I call him that because we're buds now... and he's 'de pud"... heh) does a great job sifting through the morons to find the nuggets of gold acorns.
