Hilarity ensued.

Thursday morning greetings! I am working the 12-9 shift today, due to an evening speaking engagement.
DR Jose - I'll send you PM about the email.
Thanks, and (re)sent.
...Looks like I need to find out that "disguise your double chin" trick that DR FJL was asking about last night!

ST. PAUL — Police are preparing for a last-ditch protest by anti-war demonstrators threatening to take to the streets Thursday night during John McCain’s presidential nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.
The stage was set for a showdown as a coalition of protesters told reporters a day earlier that it is ready to violate the expiration of its permit — now limited to a rally at the state Capitol between 5-6 p.m. ET Thursday — and march to the Xcel Energy Center, site of the GOP convention.
An array of groups have congregated in the city since last Saturday to make known its opposition to the candidate and his party. More than 400 people have been arrested and processed so far.
The Anti-War Committee, which is organizing Thursday’s march, urged people to join in and denounced the increased presence of police in riot gear and acts of “intimidation” in the streets.
Protesters Try to Make Most of Republican Convention (http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/04/protesters-try-to-make-most-of-republican-convention/)Judicious use of high-pressure water cannons could put short work of this radical lawlessness.
Maybe someone should post a Remember Kent State sign!

I hardly ever turn off my cell phone.
I have a co-worker who has recently taken to chewing gum. She works it vigorously and makes loud popping noises. They resonate off her office wall and out into other offices.
It's IRRITATING in the extreme!

Good Afternoon!
Lunch! -Which, for me today, consists of two filled buns (no euphemism intended) and a tapioca mlikshake from the Chinese bakery around the corner. Well... "consisted" by this point and time. ;)
but it's not their (or your) only phone, is it?
If they have a permit, then it surely isn't "lawless."
Filled with what, that's what we all want to know.

Hey, DR George and I just posted the same general thought at the exact same moment! :D
DR dB - I am not necessarily supportive of "the anarchists."
However, I am curious as to what you feel should be done to those who illegally authorize the surveillance of American citizens, who authorize the breaking of the Geneva Convention and the torture of prisoners, who neglect American victims of the largest natural disaster in US history, who have politicized the Justice Department beyond all recognition, and who flout Congress through the spurious and unprecendented use of "signing statements"?
Would you like to borrow my water cannon :D

These issues are still working their way through the court system, but in brief:
I think the government should have unlimited acess to monitor electronic communications.
The Geneva convention does not apply to non-uniformed irregulars captured on a battlefield - we are not technical at war, so there are no POWs.
The Katrina mess was just poor management - not criminal conduct; more than enough blame to go around.
Most members of the Justice department serve at the will of the President - he doesn't need a reason to not renew an appointment.
I'll pass on signing statements and torture.

To the right, ever to the right, never to the left, always to the right...
SQUAT down as comfortably as you can go, leaning forward slightly too if possible.
LOOK towards the camera, craning your neck as much as you comfortably can. Then have the photographer shoot your face.
And there you have it - as I predicted. :)

Der Brucer, you are certainly correct in that we are not at war...and I wish the media and others would stop calling it the "War in Iraq." Or worse yet, "The War with Iraq."
I am sure many could find a more appropriate title for why we are in Iraq.

I have often wondered that if we in the US had to sacrifice during this Iraq situation the way that Americans had to sacrifice during WW2...what with rationing of gas, metals, sugar, silk, etc., no new cars, no new houses, the draft and all of that.... how long do you think this conflict would last?

Had the telephonic call - it was fine and not as annoying as I thought it would be. Also, got invited to the Jones's for dinner tomorrow night - really looking forward to that.
You know Dear Reader Laura, this quote explains a lot about your family!
British Police are scouring Facebook for clues in the case of a dead baby dumped at a recycling plant, the Sun reported.
The body of a newborn girl was discovered among piles of garbage at a recycling site in Cambridgeshire last week.
Authorities suspect the mother may be a teen who kept her pregnancy secret from family and friends. That’s why detectives in the area are using social networking sites, including Facebook and MySpace, for any leads on potentially pregnant teen girls, according to the Sun.
"While we are still keeping an open mind about where this baby came from and why it was necessary to put her body into the city waste system, we want to get as many young people as possible thinking about whether they know someone who could be this mother in distress,” Detective Inspector Adrian Todd told the Sun.
“It may be that they are aware of a girl unusually putting on weight or behaving out of the ordinary in the way she dressed and behaved.
“Anyone with even the slightest suspicion should not dismiss any thoughts as being not important.”
The game warden is coming tomorrow, and he won't find any evidence of crawdads here. I'm sure of it.
...so I think I'll do Eggs Benedict...
Muffin, ham, rich butter sauce :-X

Mr. Barnum, with that photo, you could be very popular at Facebook.
So I told him, "Ernie, get off my back!"
Elmore, did they tell you what a "normal" reading would be?
I think they are more than just "eyeing" a spin-off...

They have stated an intent to violate the permit - then it is lawless, and vigorous action should be taken.

PS Per the other day, I think the hooligans conducting the Boston Tea Party were misdirecting their anger at the government toward private property and should have been prosecuted.
Well, I did "Welcome you to Crackbook!" ;)
Will this be for a portrait shot, by themself? Or as part of a group?
If by themself, first tell them up front that it will feel uncomfortable to "pose", but it will look great on film.
I like the "turn and squat and look":
Look toward the camera, then TURN your body to the left or right about 45 to 90 degrees.
SQUAT down as comfortably as you can go, leaning forward slightly too if possible.
LOOK towards the camera, craning your neck as much as you comfortably can. Then have the photographer shoot your face. Again,it will feel a little uncomfortable and "posed", but the resulting pics look great. *If you seen a couple of opera singer photos you'll notice a lot of leaning shots. **And if look at my 8x10s on Facebook, I am actually sitting back on my ankles in all of them.
Jose - Thanks, that's great!!!

Muffin - 100 calories
Ham (or Canadian bacon) - amount used app. 100 calories
Two eggs - app. 200 calories
Hollandaise - maybe 400 calories with the amount they use
Total for Eggs Benedict - 800 calories. No prob there.
But, if I want to be really good, I'll just do poached eggs on an English muffin for a total of 400 calories.
I am kinda looking forward to that WORST WEEK tv show that I keep seeing ads for.
Other then that one I am not sure what new shows are on for this fall.
With Jose's foto tips, so many of us regular guys will be able to help bring the regular guy look back. :) Or maybe the Double-Extra-Large regular guy
Thanks again, Jose!!! I'll cut-and-paste and pass along that info.

You do know that the leading man does not appear in every episode in that "diaper" that they show him in in the commercials. ;)
*Although, he's plastered like a centerfold all over the busses and subway stations here in NYC. I guess he's bring "the regular guy" back. ;)
DR MBarnum - it appears that while VIDEO WATCHDOG has a website, you can't read the reviews unless you subscribe or buy a hard copy. :(
And everyone really does have a "good side" and "bad side" when it comes to their faces being photographed. Be sure to have the photographer take pics from/of both sides - unless your relative already knows their good side.

Well, I have had Olive Oil Ice Cream... Roasted Garlic Ice Cream... Wasabi Ice Cream (just a few weeks ago)... Heirloom Tomato Frozen Custard... Basil Frozen Custard... And I've had vanilla ice cream topped with San-J Soy Sauce. -That was pretty good.
But that is funny, Cillaliz.

Or any of the other WEHT questions?
It is my opinion that these people in the audience prefer divisivness and violence to solve problems.
Now, Jose, how did you search that. When I try to search the notes archive I just get error messages.

It was funny. The things that McCain said that I liked, the audience barely clapped at. But the things that he said that made me bristle, the audience seemed to be overjoyed at.
