Anyone see this humorous crib note cost analysis? Looks like a corporate cost analysis flow chart.
Crib Note Techology Cost Analysis
Case Study #1: Barack Obama vs Case Study #2: Sarah Palin
The ND Republican party is meeting with several other state political groups — Tea Party, Conservatives, etc. They have invited all ND candidates for office and all state/federal elected
politicians to sit and listen. . .interesting concept. The only politician that will speak is Michelle Bachman as the Keynote Speaker.
I think this is a great development to bring voters together and form a stronger movement for 2010 elections. Right now citizens from all walks of life are addressing the candidate panel. (Including current gov now announced for senate)
One comment — one voter said he hoped the other “56” states would hold the same type of multi-faction meeting!!!
1. All right, if it isn’t a role-playing game, what’s an RPG? I only know: gnomes rule!
2. Here’s a link to some climate graphs. The author is making a point that if the Medieval Warming period was as warm, or even warmer, than today, the whole hockey-stick thing is wrong. The reason this is so, is that the CRU-PSU climate arrangers decided to do away with the MWP so that they could claim it is hotter now. Sadly for them people know it was hot then, and followed by the Little Ice Age. The graph shows what I was trying to say the other day, that scale of observations means everything. If you start your observations during a cold spell and just disregard previous warm spells, it can look really bad. When you use a thousand-year scale, you see that the averages (Smoothing) makes an up and down curve like the daily variations, but bigger. These are real trends.
Good times. Notice this was at Occidental, still no clue about Colombia. My theory now is maybe he went to Columbia, he flunked out or didn’t complete, he got into Harvard because he was a legacy and he had a powerful friend or two (Percy Sutton) and Harvard was liberally bribed to take him (Monsour, Prince Al Aweed) and avoid being labeled racists for turning down an unqualified dark person. I think if he had only gone to Occidental, it wouldn’t fly, but if he had actually gotten some other credits he could have done the old sob story of being a misunderstood genius who was too good for his classes. It often works.

Once the Lightbringer was elected, seems Putin pushed his way back into visible Russian power. . .now seems like a battle of egos. . .really surprised more shirtless pictures have not surfaced!
RPG is Rocket Propelled Grenade. (As opposed to Rocket Propelled Gnome) The mesh work that the chicken is affixed to is placed on armored vehicles to cause RPG rounds (and other types of HEAT rounds) to detonate early thereby reducing their effectiveness. It’s pretty effective against older generation RPGs and even better against gnomes.

@tfhr: I will be sure that a rocket propelled gnome is in the next game I write. (this is what the cruel world has driven me to, designing games) And this gnome will have effective counter-protection. 🙂 Thanks for the info.

too bad, the RPGs are already implemented in the RPG. Victims of racism–actually this is a jab at Wizards of the Coast because they dropped gnomes in the 4th Ed. D&D rules. If I can only think of a way to work in “Obama did it” I’m set.
And why shouldn’t they? Everything is going their way. Bitch slapped NATO/Georgia in 2008… reclaimed Ukraine last week…commodity prices are bullish for the long-term.
Yeah, when you’re bitch-slapping NATO and the EU at every turn I’d be talking-tough also.
PS How come the Russians get a nationalist and we get stuck with the boy-wonder who is so far out of his depths that it’s scary?

Amy Fisher, the Huntsville killer, is obsessed with Obama: will this become a common trait of deranged killers? We have three years to watch the Nit Wit Parade!
JESUS was GAY – according to the gospel of SIR ELTON JOHN.
The singer makes his controversial claim about the Lord in a new US interview that will enrage America’s bible belt.
Elton, 62, declares as he pours out his heart to a magazine: “I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems.”
He adds: “Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don’t know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East – you’re as good as dead.”
He goes on in the same interview to describe how he and DAVID FURNISH, 47 – now his “husband” – first got together.
The pop veteran tells Parade magazine: “I was attracted to David immediately. He was very well dressed, very shy. The next night we had dinner.
“After it, we fell in love very quickly.”
He said of previous lovers: “I’d always choose someone younger. I wanted to smother them with love. I’d take them around the world, try to educate them.
“One after another they got a Cartier watch, a Versace outfit, maybe a sports car.
Well, an official definition is:
gnome [ nōm ] (plural gnomes)
Definition:
1. tiny supernatural being: in folklore and fairy tales, a small imaginary being usually portrayed as a hunchbacked man with a long white beard who lives underground guarding treasure.
Skookum, you know those little statue guys people use in their gardens as a decoration? Apparently they are popular amongst thieves. I met with some local police/gang task force recently at a neighborhood meeting, and the lieutenant there said how often they find gnomes amongst things stolen in abandoned homes, to the point he thought it was pretty hilarious. 🙂 Who’d of thunk it–gnomes?
This has absolutely nothing to do with gnomes and RPG’s, but is pretty darn funny all the same:

Why would you break the law to steal a gnome? Not that I rationalize theft, but some things are beyond reason.

Maybe because the statues are not anchored permanently and are easy to carry away. The old adage … people will steal anything not nailed dawn.

@Mike, Thanks, yeah, it is a good one. In fact, I thought it was so perfect in content, design and pacing, that it left me happily stunned. I still have an SEG on my face. Thanks to whomever prettied up my post by inserting the YouTube graphic. Look at all the ^$$holes together, inescapably linked by hypocrisy. I’m just so tickled by it all!
The slob Olberman asks, ‘Where are all the blacks?” He can find some of them over at FOX News and American Idol.
@Art: I posted the video at my home planet and I see Curt has it on the sidebar here too.
Shame on Keith Olbermann for being such a racial hypocrite. And you’re right, there are more blacks at Fox News than there are at MSNBC.
Also, I’ve seen plenty of “black faces” at Tea Parties. Maybe Olbermann should visit a Tea Party or a Town Hall Protest. He might learn a thing or two.
Heck, Loyd Marcus sings the Tea Party Anthem at rallies nationwide:
