5/26 I got multiple emails from multiple sources about the resurgence
of the stock market. Case in point, Charles Schab: "Looking for
Signs of Midyear Traction": A Town Hall Webcast with Liz Ann
Sonders and special guests. Are we ready to get back into the game?
\_ Nouriel Roubini sez: Yer all fucked! For years!

Notice how Goldman Sachs released their green shoots memo in March.
Perfect timing, eh?
\_ GS is good, hadn't you noticed. ECRI called a bottom in March,
too, the bastards. They are predicting a rapid recovery from
here, with better than expected growth in Q3 and Q4.
\_ I suppose it doesn't hurt that Goldman dwarfs all other
broker/dealers in program trading volume on the NYSE
\_ Probably means it is a good time to sell. |

5/26 Is it correct to call someone the daughter of Puerto Rican
"immigrants"? Seems wrong to me. Puerto Ricans get US Passports.
\_ Yes it is correct.
\_ Thanks! Obama immigrated from Hawaii, right?
\_ Not the same. Doubly not the same in the early 50s. Go watch
yourself some West Side Story.
\_ You may wish to look up the difference between a US state and
a US territory.
\_ I did. And the Library of Congress says that "immigration"
is incorrect:
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/learn/features/immig/cuban3.html
aOED also says that immigration is incorrect:
immigrate: come to live permanently in a foreign country
\_ Right there one THE NEXT SENTANCE of the link you
provided it says "However, in moving to the mainland,
Puerto Ricans leave a homeland with its own distinct
identity and culture, and the transition can involve
many of the same cultural conflicts and emotional
adjustments that most immigrants face." and guess
what, that was even more so in the 40s and 50s.
\_ ya, but they still aren't immigrants. calling them
immigrants is wrong. saying that they face struggles
similar to immigrants is wrong. It's like saying
that Native Americans are immigrants.
\_ TODOS SOMOS LOVELLE MIXON
\_ Wasn't Obama really born in Kenya, but has a forged Hawaii
birth certificate?
\_ Doesn't matter where he was born. His mother was a citizen.
\_ I think a US citizen-by-birth can't become POTUS if (s)he
was born in a foreign country, sans US military base or
embessy.
embassy.
\_ You are incorrect. What's funny is McCain wasn't born
in the US either.
\_ If your MOTHER or FATHER is a citizen, and they give
birth to you, YOU ARE A CITIZEN, no matter if you are
born on Jupiter or Japan or Russia or Taxachussetts or
on a plane or in Mexico.. you are not naturalized,
you are a goddamn citizen. I don't understand why
Hannity and Glenn Beck and Clarence Thomas do not
comprehend this simple fact.
\_ You realize John McCain was born in Panama, right?
\_ What part of "sans US military base or
embassy" did you not understand?
\_ McCain was born in a US Naval Air Station in
Panama. See the "sans" part above. -- PP
\_ doesn't matter. what country Obama was born in
is a non story, unless you want to claim his mother
was not a citizen
is a non story, unless you want to claim his
mother was not a citizen
\_ Didn't the birthers claim he was
Malcom X's illigitimate african love
child or something?

\_ http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html
know what this is? It's the constitution. You may
have heard of it! Article II describes the
requirements to be president. Speculate no longer,
it's written right there. By the way, good work not
signing your names, otherwise you'd be outed as an
illiterate yet loud and pretentious person.
--brain
\_ What is this in response to?
\_ What does it say? I'm busy
\_ it says you are a fucktard and people who
are willing to take time to do things
are allowed to take your rights away,
apparently.
\_ exactly, the assumption that your busyness
is justified or that your time is somehow
worth more than others is what makes you
pretentious. What a bunch of worthless
slobs!
\_ It says "natural born citizen" which is not exactly
clear in plain English. All the early Presidents
were born British Citizens (obviously) so I don't
know what the precedent really is.
\_ It says the President needs to be either "natural
born citizen" or a citizen at the time the
constitution was adopted. The early Presidents
were the latter. |

5/26 "Photo of US soldier in pink boxers turns iconic"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090522/ap_on_re_us/us_media_pink_boxers
Not a single mention about wearing a red shirt in a battlefield screams
"Shoot me!" and endangers one's comrades. He should have covered it up
or taken it off at the first opportunity.
\_ And how much war experiance do you have? Hint, playing Red Alert
doesn't count.
\_ Nor does watching "Star Trek".
\_ Dood, medics have to wear red crosses on their arms.
\_ Supposedly enemies shouldn't shoot the medics, so the red crosses
scream "DON'T shoot me!"
\_ Let me tell you, if I ever actually made it into combat,
the first thing I would have done is strip off that stupid
arm band. -former medic
\_ I heard that non-maimed army men get laid a lot because they
have many manly stories to tell and ladies love their strong
manly presence. Is this true? Is it?
\_ I don't know, but I got laid a lot in the co-ops. I don't
think it had anything to do with being ex-army, but
perhaps all that PT helped give me muscles.
\_ No, it's just that most women in the co-ops were
easy. I'd be afraid to sleep with most of them.
\_ Bill Cosby has a great routine on being a Corpsman in
Korea. First lesson: the North Koreans do not
Vietnam. First lesson: the North Vietnamese do not
recognize the Geneva Convention and so will actively
target Corpsmen. Cue a bunch of Corpsmen furiously
scrubbing the red cross off their helmets with Brillo
pads. |

5/26 Finished Braid; beautiful game. Good job, blojo. Looking forward to
the Next Thing; will be more than happy to kick out another $15
for quality like this. --erikred
\_ I hate this game. I've been up until 1AM the last two nights.
Normally I go to bed around 11:30PM. Sooo tired. But it is
beautiful. First PC game I've purchased in 9 years.
\_ Is there a mac version? And how is the gameplay with just a
mouse and keyboard?
\_ I downloaded and played the Mac version on my PowerMac G5
tower; gameplay was perfectly fine. But then again, I prefer
the keyboard to a controller. I'd imagine you could use a
USB game controller just as easily. --erikred
\_ Finally finished it, but I had to cheat and get help on 3 of
the puzzles. Have you found any of the hidden "stars"? Those seem
pretty ridiculous to get. |
