Not as awesome as the complete DS9.
But awesome enough.

Puts the whole gay marriage fight into perspective. Thanks, John.

OMG..I am so jealous. I have watched the last episode several times and I can never get enough of the Jeffster.

Awesome would be Jeffster singing for the man with True Grit who came out in favor of Gay marriage today. Can’t you see him singing Take on Me… Truly awesome.

I am so disappointed. I read the comment sections of several liberal blogs, and they’re attacking the President. WTF is wrong with these people? I am genuinely demoralized.

Some day I will have to check Chuck out, but in the mail today was MI Ghost Protocol, so looking forward to watching that.
Had my regular doc appointment today, and with too hi BP, and all around feeling like shit the past few days, that I think is the February like weather we are having. But the doc tells me I have at least 6 more months of likely above ground time, till the next appointment. He went to Friedman U med school.

@Anya: Read politico and that will brighten your day. Actually comments are from the extremes on most sites. I can remember The lede at the nytimes mentioning the orange revolution being a good thing and someone writing that Beck wouldn’t lie to him. I kinda felt bad for the ignorant asshole when he was corrected.

I saw this weird thing sitting in front of my apartment when I got home. It was a box full of these weird gold coin things, they look like this.
The weird thing was that the box was addressed to a “J. Goldberg”, with a little extra note attached that said “We’re having trouble believing it ourselves, but book covers don’t lie.”

@Anya:
I really think, though have no proof, that any number of liberal blogs are swamped with republican ratfucker types/ I looked at a couple a little while ago, and the lingo used can also be found on about any wingnut blog. Stuff like calling Obama Barry, or “zero’ Obama, amongst other things, is mighty wingnutty sounding to me. So I wouldn’t get bent out of shape about it, as the internet gets older, more people are learning how to systematically twist things in their favor, by deception, with anonymity

Where is Raven? I’m wondering if he liked “Sherlock.” I thought it was fantastic, even better than last season.

you have to admire Mitt Romney for standing up to the radical homosexual agenda.
Mark Halperin said earlier this issue is wholly unfair to Romney because the liberal media, many who are homosexual and not Christian, will attack him for standing up for traditional values.

I am a confirmed Linux guy. I do Windows too, but only when I’m slumming. Today I got a macbook pro for work. Any suggestions on 12 step programs that I can go through that will make it so I don’t have an urge to throw the damn thing out the window whenever I have to use the mouse? (Actually the mouse track pad thingie)

Interesting interactive graphic by the NY Times. Aggregates the opinions of their commenters re: Obama’s interview; positivenegative and no impact on election big impact.

@bootsy: true story..while putting away son’s socks, I found gold coins. I was on the phone at the time and said to the friend I was talking to..yeah, found chocolate covered coins, she said I couldn’t have one. Maybe those are the medals that Jason was thinking about. Probably the real chocolate kind though.

@Anya:
NØbama is a homophobe who should be primaried. during today’s interview, he didn’t mention the public option once! not once! If NØbama really believed in gay rights, he would pardon Bradley Manning and award him the medal of freedom.

So just received an email from OfA tittled just simply “Marriage”. It was not a solicitation email. There was no “donation” link. The only link was to the OfA site (of course), but the link leads to a page that asks you to “sign-up” if you “stand with the President”.
IDK, I found it classy that the email was not an overt fundraising letter.
Although I hope/suspect that fundraising will increase. Read on twitter that OfA raised at least 1 million dollars in the first 90 minutes after the interview was aired.

You know what’s funny? Blue dog West Virginia Democrats had more success primarying Obama with a convicted felon than those who have been talking about it from day one.

here’s a link to the clip — fast forward to the 3:35 mark, where he repeatedly says “it’s not a fair fight” for poor, poor Romney because of the liberal media’s slant on the issue

I wonder if President Obama will do any more of that “evolvin'” work tonight or tomorrow?
It’s hard work, I hear…evolving…you know, thinkin’ and ponderin’ and talkin’ things over with family members and shit.
Hard work, it is.
Baud
@Clime Acts: LOL. I guess that’s why you’ve never done it.

@Anya: Obama dared to do something without getting their permission, like it ought to be.

John Cole, if you can manage to procure season 5 of Chuck from someone other than Amazon, that would be preferable.

Romney Dismisses Gay Marriage, In-State Tuition For Illegal Immigrants

You see, both sides have Romney on them!

To you NØbots who worship NØbama, if NØbama isn’t a homophobe then why hasn’t he personally discovered the cure for HIV?

Rachel Maddow’s first segment on this was really strong

What kind of drives me nuts is that everyone has forgotten that Obama has been pro-gay marriage all along as was his position in 1996.
The only reason he said he wasn’t was to get elected because he thought it was a nonstarter with the Rovian Guns, Gays and Abortion tactics.
Credit where it’s due, but c’mon guys.
JPL
@Bob2: Truth be known he is the first President who came out for Gay rights and that is a big fucking deal. He can’t change the law but his speech meant something.

@joes527:
I only recently started working with Macs, and found that plain old USB mice, plugged in to a Mac, work more or less the way you expect them to. Also, I am slowly getting used to the multi-touch pad and finding it useful. Four-finger swiping from one desktop to another is particularly fun.
ETA: at first I thought the clickable pad was cool, but decided it requires too much force. Fortunately, you can enable taps.
joes527
@gnomedad: yeah. Plugging in a real mouse might be the answer. I was just trying to work with the machine as it was, and was wondering if there was some great aha! out there that would make it all make sense.

Eh. I had a new Cuisinart coffee makers and Elaine Pagels’ The Origin of Satan. Though, I think you’re going to have more laughs.

@joes527:
Keyboard shortcuts are your friend.
Personally, I kinda like the trackpad, but I don’t do much scrolling around on the laptop so it’s not like I’m trying to create a Keynote presentation using only the trackpad or anything. I do have a spare mouse in case there’s something that will require more scrolling. And, yes, contrary to legend, you can right click on a Mac mouse!

I’m not quite sure why, but after one of the recent redesigns this blog got really obnoxious to read on an iPad. Even after it has completely loaded it still periodically does some kind of refresh–every few seconds–that resets the scroll position to the top of the page. The only way I’ve found to keep this from happening is to keep my finger pressed down, effectively “holding” the page in place.
