conference on C-Span yesterday, I need to swab my brain with a good dose of Malloy.

Did you all hear that All-Day-Orgasmic-Nazi-Rally? Banged my brains but good. I already knew a lot of the panelists, but when they got all together in their group grope... it was like watching some orgy from Hell. Egads!

Other than that and taxes, the spring weather is just mighty fine. Back atcha ralps.

Estoy de acuerdo. Él es un cara de verga sin huevos. :D

[PuraVidaDreamin]

86. okay, I get that you agree

Bush is a dick face, but without eggs?
Please be tender with me, I'm a fragile spanish beginner.
It's only been four months since I began learning.

Peace!

[Swamp Rat]

88. Estás hablando muy bien.

Sin huevos = no testicles. :D

No se preocupe, porque mi español es muy mal también. Agora, falo português muito melhor. :)

[PuraVidaDreamin]

95. ha! muy comico

so you know many other languages?

guevos is very close to huevos. Here on Cape many folks
are from Brazil and speak Portugese, and as a nurse I should
probably learn that, however my dream is to live forever
after in CR

BTW, do you have a special keyboard for accents?

[Swamp Rat]

104. Me encanta mucho vivir aí.

Yo viví en Costa Rica (San Ramón y Playas del Coco), pero... meu coração está no Brasil. :)

As for keyboards, I use a wireless from Apple. Macs come from the factory ready to handle many Western languages, and capable of most others (you'd need to get another keyboard for Mandarin, for example), but you'd have to use a chart to know which character is where. I have to have many languages on my computer because I am studying linguistics.

This is the setting for Russian: ???? ? ?? ???????? ???????? ??? ??? ?????

This is the setting for Chinese:: ?????????

edit: I tried, but DU servers can't handle it. :(

"From the waist down, a woman is the property of a man," an Afghan judge recently told Amnesty International. See link!

Yep, that sounds like "Bush Freedom" in Afghanistan.

78. The 'Washington Post' wrote about the

Kill the Judiciary conference.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38308-2005Apr8.html

Check it out. This is not a group of fringe 'freepers.' Listening to the conference, it was clear that these freaks were openly declaring war on democracy.

Once they got the black box voting machines, they're ready and itching to take it ALL.

[Swamp Rat]

That's gonna make him crazy. He's libel to do something stupid! :sarcasm:

Can't have that!!

Malloy has really been on a roll for the last 3 days!!! :wow:

Go gett-um Mike!!! :woohoo:

[SnoopDog]

84. Hi All...

Obvious point: one huge difference between Repuks and Dems is that Dems care about people and what they have to say...

Have you ever noticed that when 'Conservatives talk or have a news cast or have callers on the radio - they don't communicate - they just trample over each other's talk. (Happens to be a pet peeve of mine).

Contrast Mr. Mike talking to Bill - he, Bill, said he was handicapped. Did Mike cut him off? Hell no. It is called class. Class that is rare. Mike lets him talk because liberals/progressives know that everybody has values and something (usually) important to say.

I hate what is happening to our country - we have to and must take our country back - back to the people....

(ok, to much Captain Morgan tonight...)

[ralps]

89. Hi SnoopDog, I'm glad he took the time with Bill too

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

NYT: E.P.A. Halts Florida Test on Pesticides (on babies!)


E.P.A. Halts Florida Test on Pesticides
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK

Published: April 9, 2005


WASHINGTON, April 8 - Stephen L. Johnson, the acting administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, said on Friday that he was canceling a study of the effects of pesticides on infants and babies, a day after two Democratic senators said they would block his confirmation if the research continued.

Rich Hood, a spokesman for the agency, acknowledged that Mr. Johnson had canceled the test because of the objections to his confirmation. "They are pretty juxtaposed in time, aren't they?" Mr. Hood said. "There is clearly a connection."

But Mr. Hood said the opposition was not the only reason for the cancellation.

"Mr. Johnson said in a meeting this morning that, his confirmation aside, he had come to pose serious questions as to whether or not this study was the appropriate thing to do," he said.

A recruiting flier for the program, called the Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study, or Cheers, offered $970, a free camcorder, a bib and a T-shirt to parents whose infants or babies were exposed to pesticides if the parents completed the two-year study. The requirements for participation were living in Duval County, Fla., having a baby under 3 months old or 9 to 12 months old, and "spraying pesticides inside your home routinely."...


Did we win this one?

[ralps]

90. Hi geomon666, I saw that. It looks like the heat got a little hot for

Stephen L. Johnson. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

87. G.O.P. Consultant's Marriage Is a Gay One

Arthur J. Finkelstein, a prominent Republican consultant who has directed a series of hard-edged political campaigns to elect conservatives in the United States and Israel over the last 25 years, said Friday that he had married his male partner in a civil ceremony at his home in Massachusetts.

Mr. Finkelstein, 59, who has made a practice of defeating Democrats by trying to demonize them as liberal, said in a brief interview that he had married his partner of 40 years to ensure that the couple had the same benefits available to married heterosexual couples.

"I believe that visitation rights, health care benefits and other human relationship contracts that are taken for granted by all married people should be available to partners," he said.

He declined further comment on the wedding, which was in December.
