Knocking over trailor parks?

Well if we're going to do nature photos, here a short clip I put together yesterday,

oops. didn't mean to post that as a reply. 'scuse me ys.
A rare sight indeed. Seeing Rainier from Vashon at all is rare.
http://ftp.sai.msu.su/apod/image/0902/rainier...
No its not. It's the Iranians and their nuclear program.
at least according to the Obama administration:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/washi...
It's the explosion of Goopers' heads nation wide.
Poor dears.

They just took out San Fran.
Billo warned us.
Oh for the love of gawd, why didn't we just shaddup and listen?
Oh. What?
Just fluffy clouds exhibiting a laminar, horizontally oblate appearance over a geographic elevation.
At ease nation, we're OK, for now...
We'll meet again. Don't know where. Don't know when...
1939. Beautiful song.
That Obama was denied the info from the blacked out letter from Reprieve, the legal charity that represents Binyam Mohammed or that he had the info and still OK'ed the "States Secrets" defense that denied Binyam and 4 others their day in court. This whole "We do not torture" is bcoming questionable imho.
Obama is an accessory after the fact.
He is even negotiating the Karl Rove subpoenas so that they don't "weaken" the institution of the Presidency.
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Bushs_lawyer_no...
"The president is very sympathetic to those who want to find out what happened," Obama's White House counsel Gregory Craig said in a statement yesterday to The Washington Post's Carrie Johnson. "But he is also mindful as president of the United States not to do anything that would undermine or weaken the institution of the presidency. So, for that reason, he is urging both sides of this to settle."
.
Imagine Obama getting briefed on all the Presidential Orders, especially all the ones never mentioned to the public.
What? I can take everybodies pony? Wait till I tell Michele about this!
and ironic, since Karl Rove himself did everything he could to 'undermine or weaken the institution' with all of his criminal shenanigans.
The thought of swine boy getting any special deals in return for his testimony makes me ill.
Here's the link:

not sure GM is going to make it they may need more monetary help. maybe it's time to let them go. to me they cut their own throat if you will. they had a chance to be competitive with toyota but they decided on the hummer.
or nationalize them, but GM goes and there goes tons of jobs.
Its critical not to lose domestic vehicle manufacturers, if we were at the mercy of 100% imported then we would be fleeced.
And the military angle is there too, no matter what anybody thinks of overseas offensive, home defense is vital.
There was an advert for a low cost US car by one of the big names, GM or Chrysler !! $13,000 so they can make low cost affordable, no frills cars if they put their mind to it.
The event organizer won't comment on his fee, the ticket price or number of invitees, but says he expects around 1500 to attend.
Honestly, who in their right mind would spend money to see that creep? I guess there are lots of suckers right here in cowtown.
In our local paper today, the coordinator of Peace Calgary said "There's no doubt there will be protests in honour of the occasion. Many people remain furious with Bush for his record on human rights, torture and war in the Middle East. There's a number of people who would like to see him arrested."
Could be interesting ...

Bush sent bum buddy and party bagman from South Carolina, David Wilkins, in 2005.
When he arrived, he was painfully naive and lucky to be able to find us on a map.
He wasn't bad, just uninformed and a questionable choice.
Since the inauguration he's been called back but has admitted to having his eyes opened.
http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/What+ambass...
Hope we didn't break him.
BTW- How's your slapshot?
Entertaining article. Who knew Wilkins has a sense of humour? He actually seems likeable!
After all the northern exposure he is probably under Dem-suspicion till he gets reprogrammed in David Duke's lab.
Poor guy!
Fun times, history lessons, movie trivia ...
Yeah, I like it!
Be sure to wear your steel toed army boots.
You can get the distance with those suckers.
I would hope the good people of Calgary, Alberta would protest this visit enmasse

Snip - British Investor In Madoff Scheme, Kills Himself
"A retired British army major killed himself after losing his life savings in the alleged fraud perpetrated by U.S. financier Bernard Madoff, his son said Friday."
[ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/14/will... ]
Study the symptoms not the virus...
What is taking so long? Is there not enough evidence to arrest the asshole? Geez............
that we'll never know. As unjust as it may seem, if we seal his fate, would we truncate our leads?
Study the symptoms not the virus...
I'm sure they were good people, too, like this retired British army major. He served his country in the military and contributed much to his community. Very sad.
Madoff has a lot of blood on his hands.
At least three banksters, assorted businessmen.
Not because he's a right wing gasbag, of course, but because he's violating Blogger's TOS agreement virtually every time he posts.
For good measure, I think we ought to report him to the FBI's counter-terrorism task force, Homeland Security and even Infragard.
JP
http://giveusthisdayourdailtydread.blogspot.com
you ought to know he's been outed as an FBI informant. He's a honey pot.
Of his and Hannitys off air love phone conversations.
That has to be one of the most offensive blogs I have ever seen. After the manifesto displayed by that asshole who shot up a church full of people because he couldn't do just what this Hal Turner is demanding, this guy should be in prison.

Thanks for posting the beautiful lenticular cloud formations. What a refreshing visual break from all the figurative stormclouds on the political horizon. Nothing like nature to reinvigorate the soul.
The many pictures of the cloud formations are all stunning

I would like to take this opportunity to say Happy Valentine's Day to each and every C&L reader. You are all my special Valentines and I am honored to "know" all of you.
and thanx for your sweet sentiments :)
I agree, that picture of the clouds is stunning. Mother Nature is always powerful and amazing.

Biblically?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Touched in a figurative sense. Lets not be getting any ideas there.
Yeah, symbolic roses and chocolates for the ladies and manly handshakes sans the palm tickle to the guys.
And no hanky-panky after log off.
So/do/my Valentines agree?
Ugg, always gotta wall those words apart. They keep wanting to stick together. Kinda queer if you as me.
Agreed!
Your words are touching, Beaverboy!
I'm working on grossing ysb out.
No matter how low I go he still is amused.
He can't be as sick as twisted as me, can he?
I know, how about close and personal....
)¤( -Hey ysb, good to see you got that fixed.
(teehee)
That photo looks gorgeous! Any info on the exposure and process?
Actually, that frame of the shot put through the HDR process would be EXTRAORDINARY!
Here's info on HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography:

seriously, awesome photos.
So only 3 Republicans voted for the Stimulus in Congress. That doesn't mean they don't want money from it sent to their states.
Here is Specter on the passage of the Stimulus Bill:
...
"I think there are a lot of people in the Republican caucus who are glad to see this action taken without their fingerprints, without their participation.
...
(When asked how many of his Republican colleagues really supported the bill:)
"I think a sizable number. I think a good part of the caucus agrees with the person I quoted, but I wouldn't want to begin to speculate on numbers."
Hmmmm.
Sooner or later they'll either get bipartisan or be gone altogether.

Really, two of them, faded out in the middle because there's probably someone working on dissipating chemtrails in that area.

But should have put it here. Sorry. Thoughts anyone??
Gorgeous photo. Anyone who visits Washington should visit Mt. St. Helens where they're allowing the area to be a living laboratory after a volcanic eruption. It's fascinating.
the perfect home screen for my blackberry. thanks for posting.
