Surprised you missed this one in NYT:

CHICAGO - Former President Bill Clinton has agreed to disclose publicly the names of more than 200,000 donors to his foundation as part of an accord with President-elect Barack Obama that clears the way for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to become secretary of state, Democrats close to both sides said on Saturday.

Also, during yesterday's USC v. Notre Dame game Damien Williams (Springdale All American) had good play time while Mitch Mustain (Spdle All American) was only allowed to play during the last quarter when USC was leading 38-3.
Mustain threw two good passes then an interception. This prompted the commentators to discuss "The Houston Nutt Soap Opera" at Arkansas, including Mustain's mother's involvement and Gus Matazalan's losing strategy and subsequent departure. Was surprising to hear that discussion on national TV over a year later.

One more and I'm outa here for awhile.

For your morning intellectual stimulation there's a fascinating interview with Noam Chomksy on Democracy Now.

"Noam Chomsky: "What Next? The Elections, the Economy, and the World"

World-renowned public intellectual Noam Chomsky discussed the meaning of President-Elect Barack Obama's victory and the possibilities ahead for real democratic change at a speech last week in Boston.

Don't get your wheels towed in Little Rock.............

cost g'son $200 to get his truck.

Damn scam racket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eLwood, your Chomsky reference reminded me of a snippet I read just this week (can't for the life of me remember where) about when Chomsky was punk'd into an interview on "Da Ali G Show":

Ali G: 'Ow many words does you know?

Chomsky: Why, by the time a person reaches adulthood, he knows tens of thousands of words.

Ali G: Wot is some of 'em?

Chomsky: (Looks baffled.)

More from the "liberal" MSM concerning the costs of cheapness; New York Times: In Maryland, Focus on Poultry Industry Pollution.

"State officials have started to realize that there are consequences to being able to sell skinless, boneless chicken breast for just over $2 per pound when virtually no other protein source with so little fat is that cheap, Mr. Winegrad said."

"Environmentalists and state officials have also become frustrated that after more than a decade of spending over $100 million a year in state money on restoration efforts, the Chesapeake, unlike most other mid-Atlantic waterways, has only grown more polluted."

"Maryland is one of the only states where the poultry industry is regulated by the State Department of Agriculture, whose primary mission is helping farmers, and not by the State Department of the Environment, which is charged with enforcing pollution laws."

"Most other states with large poultry farms already require the permits and regular inspections."

"Standing in front of his pickup truck with a bumper sticker that said "It's not farmland without farmers," Mr. Richardson shook his head in frustration. "As far as I can tell, the current system works fine except a few bad apples," he said. "What they are proposing now is just more cost for us growers and more time doing paperwork."

"Sometimes what's right isn't as important as what's profitable."

Reporting on Arkansas from Louisville. My friends at the Vine and Branches Class at St. Paul United Methodist Church on Bardstown and Dundee gave me a piece of bread folded over a chicken. The thing was about the size of a minnow, like the ones I used to use on Lake Conway with Walter Dunaway. I do not know if this was a reward for teaching the class this morning as we were studying Ellsworth Kalas's book "Christmas from the Backside". Chapter 4 was titled "Celebrating Christmas in a Hotel". Observing what was happening to the hotel in India and having read "Three Cups of Tea", I turned towards Jurgen Moltmann's "Experiences in Theology". There seems to be a problem with bringing our conscious and unconscious into a truth.

Moltmann goes on to describe part of the issue tied up in "the arrogance of will to power that life and death are one". He adds and elaborates about how "every mother and every child know that life is born and is a gift". What t distinguishes life from death, however, is love."

Powerful words and actions are being spoken on and off the field. Moltmann also wrote a fine chapter on "Black Theology for Whites". The tragedy of Jamaica and Haiti riots and the ensuing nature by which a people were challenged to find and sustain a spiritual existence is incredible.
Own would probably have to speak with that famous Little Rock attorney Stephen Angstrom to understand measurement units.

Which if one watches how evolution works, (we are still Cardinals here in Louisville); there is strangeness in how one University recruited a man who was born on April 1 to advance the transformation of birds into Hogs! The challenge to the awakening is understanding how Payne and Tovey composed such an inspirational piece. Which if one understands whose house one is in, then why should other citizens around the world or in other parts of the country worry about being tramped to death or about the pollution?

Surely, if one can muster a crowd into Hog Heaven, one can improve the understanding for God's Kingdom!

As we prepare for the Boar's Head Fesitval, perhaps there might bw a way for a few good Arkies to attend the gathering?

So you can cover Pasadena from India for peanuts, but the Democrat Gazette insists that "giving away content" (or perhaps selling advertising to cover costs as the 3 major networks) is NOT the way of the future and feels that limited access to their e-version and trying to sell article for $2 each is the future.

Snowflakes in the air just outside of ES!

Snowflakes in the SPA.

5th try

jazzy, bless your heart. Perhaps now is the time to try a new browser. Firefox, It's a very quick and easy download.

I think it will solve your login problems. Anyway, clicky if you want to try it.

Just got in from Thanksgiving vacation in South Arkansas and boy are my arms tired.....It was snowing to beat the band in Mena and got warmer as we drove north. I had Hal 2000 set to 60 degrees so it's a might nippy in the compound at the moment.....but holy Nelson Bunker Hunt, it's good to be home! The dogs are still going nuts and I tolds them and I tolds them as we left that we'd only be gone a few days and we'd be coming right home to them. Dogs....they're sure you're leaving forever when you go out the door.

I guess I better get these 3 broken windows to the right of me fixed tomorrow. The very last of the hail damage, ya know. Thank Allah for little white trash electric heaters from Big Lots at me feet. We're fixing to test out a bunch of that 1907 wiring in the walls, I can tell.

Tomorrow they're supposed to announce Hillary's appointment to Sec of State, so expect the wingnuts to be vocal in large numbers. Hurry up Obama.....let's get jiggy with it and on to the 20th of January! Everybody including the wingnuts are holding their breath in anticipation. Auntie with her 3 rooms of provisions down in Little River County expects the Mad Max days to start by the end of January, so you might want to call ahead to keep from being shot from the house, if you're going to visit her in about a month and a half.

I think we'll see instantly sunny days the minute Barry says I Do, at least we'll all feel a lot better and by then we'll know what kind of horrid dirty tricks Cheney has up his sleeves, our Big Dick going away presents. I'm faced with no Mad Men or True Blood tonight...and that's crisis enough until the house warms up. I'm a sicko, but I'm kinda glad tomorrow is Monday. Won't be no time until Christmas and then I'll have to do all that cooking all over again and actually have to vacuum the carpet....I think there's still carpet down there. Oh and it's great to see my fast DSL again too! Hello boys!

Eureka Springs,

Firefox is not a universal panacea. After my maintenance program deleted the Typepad cookie, even with FireFox 3.0.4 Typepad gave me HE double hockeysticks for half the day Saturday.

That's cool Jazzy! Thanks.

1 2 3 4 5 test

damn friggin @#$%%^^&&&&*&^%$#@

ES,,,,,,,,I am using Firefox

bless my heart.........bless my whole body...........please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sweat, scream, cuss, rant,rave, kick the cat, insult Frenchie, howl at the moon till I get

new phone lines and short in DSL repaired..............

then along comes TYPEPAD...............................@#$%%^^&&&&&^%%$#@

Jazzy, looks like we might need to bless your fingers, too! :-)

Maybe Max should have bought some new software down there at Neiman-Marcus...

Interesting, thanks. Mac user here. I never experienced one glitch during the recent type pad crisis?

I wonder why?

I always knew I wasn't loved. :>(

I too, use firefox and have had not one iota of a problem in signing in. Max always liked me better than you, jazzy.

Firefox did some changes recently. I suppose everyone rec'd the same email I rec'd from Firefox.

I think there were new cookies or new ways of doing them and if your maintenance program, spy ware, or adware program was filtering all but the preferred stuff then you keep getting booted. Check your spyware programs.

Also, using FIreFox you will get fewer viruses, popups and no spyware. Some popups get through but not many.

Jazzy you're going to love tabbed browsing. Think I have about six tabs at the top now.

Hint of snow today in Chickenopolis otherwise cold in this 110 year old house that's been remodeled too long ago.

Hey DBI, if you are using space heaters try a quartz heater. Costs much less to operate.
Affordable. I still have my 1979 Sears quartz heater. Works great but just a bit noisy when it first comes on.

Eureka Springs,

I am glad for you. Now there is something I can honestly praise a Mac for.

After being forced to use them in the workplace for nine years, I was glad to return to a lesser costly work platform that has mathematical accuracy and consistency albeit a little less ease with digital imagery and videos. It has caught up on digital imagery handling and I don't use video, except for amusement. Even Vista with it's glitches is better than trying to figure out the necessary memory allocations for oversize files with the IT guru is in the field or on vacation.

I remember when my wife used to be noisy when....oh...never mind. I've been buying those radiator looking electric heaters. I'd rather freeze to death than burn to death. I'm hoping for a compressed air space heater that costs nothing to run. I'm also waiting on Phoebe Cates to bring beer and come "do me", but that's not working out either.

You all might try the new Google Chrome browser. I use it on the upstairs computer because it's very old and underpowered and Chrome uses less of your computer resources, at least according to Google. I'm betting it will be the top dog when they're out of beta testing. Download it and see what you think and see if it solves your TypePad problem. My Firefox browser started working fine about a week ago and I haven't been signed off since.

And would someone tell CBS to forget running 60 Minutes at 6 pm. My Dish TV recorder isn't smart enough to wait to start recording until the endless Sunday football game is over. Or they could rename the show 15 Minutes. However, this big story on online poker is boring me to death 2 minutes in. Why do professional poker players all look like child molesting killers?

Love Google's Chrome; hate them claiming a perpetual right to use anything one entered into the browser. They've since backed off and changed the End User License agreement. Software for Macs is generally more mature than software for PCs but this too is changing. Anyone running Linux had any problems?

"The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots." Doctor Who

Ditto about Mac software. I'm using the latest version of Safari, tabs and all. I used Firefox for a long time, but this latest Safari version seems to be a bit faster.

My original post said that I was having no problems and haven't until now, but now I seem to be in "Jazzy-land." Third attempt to post.
