10/5 Republicans trying to stack the deck in the Federal Elections
Commission by either nominating a known voter suppression
specialist or by allowing Bush to make recess appointments.
http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/004396.php \_ Uhm, the FEC
is always 3 D and 3 R. What deck are you talking
about? \_ Read the article. Just because it is 3d and 3r
doesn't mean
it should be a body staffed by people who make partisan
choices the number one priority. Just like the Justice
department should strive for being non partisan. \_
I read the article before posting and a pile of the blog
responses as well. Everything in DC is staffed by
partisan hacks with the _possible_ exception of the GAO.
Maybe. I'm not impressed with the need to screw up the
FEC just so this one guy doesn't join them for a term.
What was in the article that explains exactly what is
so horrible about him anyway? Unless he's out raping
nuns and sheep and sheep nuns it isn't important and no
I don't care which party he's a member of. There are
partisan hacks and plenty of em from both sides all over
the place. And frankly, what is so wrong with being a
partisan in a 2 party confrontational system? Lack of
partisanship just reduces us to one party like so many
petty totalitarian regimes. Bring on the partisans of
all parties, I say.

\_ You know, it is hard to believe after Clinton and Bush,
but there used to be a time when it wasn't like this.
Presidents actually used to put members of the other
party on their cabinet and the qualifications of your
staff mattered at least as much as your loyalty.
\_ Ronald Reagan hired people who were highly
qualified and loyal. Ronald Reagan was GOD. -GOP
\_ One word: Bork.
\_ You know after Bork got 'Borked' he has spent the
last 20 years writing opinions and articles and
papers proving he is the extreme far right
nutcase everyone suspected he would be.
\_ Futher proof that smoking dope does not give
you some kind of liberal disease. Suck it,
Rush.
\_ But you're ok with extreme left wingers on the
court, yes? Someone asked how we got this way.
The answer is the left viciously attacked Bork
on his beliefs not his legal skills as a judge.
The rest was history.
\_ My memory is not so hot. Who was the last
extreme left winger on the court? Also, Bork
\_ Still there now.
is a bad example for all of us on the motd.
He is/was/will continue to be totally
completely out in space. I am 100 percent
glad he did not get confirmed. I dont think
you'd want to live in a world either that has
him as a Justice. Hey can we argue about
Clarence Thomas now?
\_ Whoop-dee-damn-doo.
\_ I didn't say you would like him. I said
where that sort of thing started in the
modern era.
\_ Your history needs lots and lots of work.
Trying looking up "FDR, Supreme Court packing
of," "Johnson, Abe Fortas nomination," etc.
\_ Please join us when you can get on topic.
Thanks. You topic is interesting but
unrelated.
\_ I think clinton had a few republicans in his cabinet?
Lincoln's cabinet was kind of split, half always agreed
with him, the other half thought he sucked, but he insisted
they all stfu and press on with his agenda when he made
a decision (I'm talking about the emancipation). I think
everyone thought Roosevelt was god. I haven't read much
about Nixon's cabinet. Isn't it funny how the Nixon
era seems like a delightful spring breeze now? |

10/5 Anyone used Veritas on Redhat? I've used it on Solaris where it
worked great but not on Redhat. How well does it work? Can it
dynamically extend a pre-existing volume without unmounting? Thanks! |

10/4 I stopped using Y! Mail because it was collecting a lot of spam.
I switched to Gmail thinking Google's better. Now my Gmail's
collecting as much spam as my Y! Mail, I'm beginning to realize
that Google blows just as much as Yahoo. Is there a better FREE
mailer out there I can use? \_ whats your email addr? i'll tell
the spammers to stop -shac \_ Is SpamGuard in your Yahoo Mail
turned on?
\_ If you're running the free version of Y! Mail (as opposed to
one that comes with AT&T Yahoo or <DEAD>sbcglobal.net<DEAD>),
SpamGuard doesn't seem to do jack. You can tag email as
'Spam' but that has been a big joke since I *still* get
spam no matter what.

10/5 Although each D-Day landing craft had a 2 men assigned as
flamethrowers, most of them did not carry flamethrowers out of
fear that they'd explode. I love the History Channel
-not getting laid guy #3
\_ Hey get your own nickname! - the original not getting laid guy.
\_ Sorry I changed my login to not getting laid #3. Maybe
we should start a loser club or something?
\_ Hold on how un-laid are you? I'm watching the history
channel two. some SF freaks are talking about German
jet engines. awesome. - original not getting laid guy.
\_ hi I'm #3, I love the Weird Weapons of the Axis/Allies.
Jet engines are cool too. Go ME262, they kick ass!
Well actually they kind of sucked compared to the P-51
Mustangs, since ME262 had bad maneuverability, etc etc.
But hey, the idea's cool.
\_ And they run out of fuel after a few minutes and have to
glide back to base where upon American fighters just
pull in behind and shoot them down easily. And they
required a difficult to produce and incredible toxic
fuel. ME262 was cool. For the Allies. Hitler should
have let his generals run the war. Fortunately, he was
insane and militarily untalented so the Allies were able
to win.
\_ Hitler was a micromanager. I hate micromanagers.
\_ The Allies would have beaten even the greatest military
genius in the world, because of economic might and
sheer numbers. Only a great politician could have
saved the Axis and Hitler, though a great German
leader, did not have enough international relations
skills to pull it off.
\_ If only he had kept the Jew scientists...
\_ Can't recall his name right now but the admiral in
charge of the german submarines wanted to wait until
they had 700+ before launching a war instead of the
100? or so they had. Imagine how the war for the
atlantic would have gone with 700 subs or even 350
german subs roaming around? We could not have
reinforced Britain, there likely would not have
been a dday, etc. On the Russian front, he didn't
allow his generals to pull back to defensible
positions after they took ground so the Russian
counter attacks hurt a lot more than they should
have. He didn't believe in strategic bombing. He
didn't let his army reinforce the beaches at
Normandy until too late. Need I go on?
\_ I am not saying Hitler didn't make mistakes. I
am saying that Germany would have lost anyway,
because they did not have the military might to
defeat Russia and the US. The war could have
gone on longer, but Germany would have lost
no matter who was advising them militarily.
However, with a better politician perhaps France
would still be speaking German.
\_ My wife and I had sex again tonight. -happily married guy
\_ Married a fatty, huh?
\_ I'm guessing the pp didn't marry Asian, or is fresh
\_ No she is thin and asian. But we have only been dating
for seven years, so maybe you are right, things will
slow down after a while.
\_ Busty?
\_ Sorry, no. |

He should've brought KY jelly instead of petroleum jelly. \_ Obviously he wasn't planning to use condoms ... What an asshole. |
