Had my pre-admittance meeting with Harrison Hospital yesterday. I'm scheduled to be at the Hospital at 7:30 am Tuesday. I'm taking a cab in and I guess I'll need to go to the Northwoods Lodge for a while (hope it's just a week). My son said he'd look after my dogs. I'll miss them like crazy. Today I'm going to cook some steak strips for them for a New Years treat. My leg has been going down hill since I've decided to do the Hip replacement a few months ago. * - - - - - * According to a study released earlier today, teenagers who have taken a "virginity pledge" are still just as likely to engage in premarital sex than those who have not pledged their abstinence. But worse than that, the study found that those same abstinence-swearing teenagers are far less likely to use a form of birth control - condoms, etc - when they do become sexually active. The new analysis of data from a large federal survey found that more than half of youths became sexually active before marriage regardless of whether they had taken a "virginity pledge," but that the percentage who took precautions against pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases was 10 points lower for pledgers than for non-pledgers. Why is this report NOT A SURPRISE? The answer is that this is the same result of most past studies but the religious right just turns a deaf ear to it. * - - - - - * Got to pay all my bills in the next couple of days for January cause I won't have a chance after next week. * - - - - - *I BEG YOUR PARDON

In an investigative series published by the SEATTLE POST INTELLIGENCER, reporter Eric Nalder revealed what happens when a private contractor takes advantage of taxpayer dollars and a law encouraging privatization, then drops the ball — in this case, depriving military families of new housing. The story revolves around a private contractor hired to build and manage 460 new military family homes at a Washington state base — a job it never finished. Nalder's series and our broadcast also detail what happened to one man who blew the whistle.

Today I go into Harrison for a pre-admission appointment. My HIP REPLACEMENT is next Tuesday just one week away. I can tell you that the way my leg feels it won't be soon enough. They want me to bring in a HealthCare directive which is part of my Will. I did the same thing when I had my heart surgery so thank god I made a couple of extra copies because yesterday I decided to update my WILL because it's been about 2 years since I did. It's on my old XP/PC and when I tried to open the program it would crash right out of the box. I ended up buying the latest version and put it on my new system. That's the good news the bad news is I get to add all the data again. * - - - - - * For the past 10 years I have had my taxes done professionally but this year I'm going to do it myself. My son said I should do it online and do the e-File. More to follow. * - - - - - *I BEG YOUR PARDON
The chairman of the Republican National Committee said he was "appalled" by a song called "Barack the Magic Negro" on a CD distributed by one of his political rivals.
"I am shocked and appalled that anyone would think this is appropriate, as it clearly does not move us in the right direction."
Chip Saltsman sent RNC members the parody CD "We Hate the USA" for Christmas, which includes the controversial tune. He defended his decision Friday, telling CNN the song was clearly intended as a joke.
"I think most people recognize political satire when they see it," Saltsman told CNN. "I think RNC members understand that."
Peter Yarrow, who co-wrote "Puff the Magic Dragon," called Saltsman's decision to distribute the parody tune "offensive," and "shocking and saddening in the extreme."
"It is almost unimaginable to me," Yarrow wrote in a statement sent to CNN, that Saltsman "would seriously be considered for the top post of the Republican National Committee. Puff, himself, if asked, would certainly agree."
Yarrow, a member of the 1960s folk group Peter, Paul and Mary, was a contributor to Obama's presidential campaign.
Only a right-wing nut job doesn't see and understand what this is all about.

A season of giving, a sense of common purpose. “This season of giving should also be a time to renew a sense of common purpose and shared citizenship,” he says. “Now more than ever, we must rededicate ourselves to the notion that we share a common destiny as Americans – that I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper. Now, we must all do our part to serve one another; to seek new ideas and new innovation; and to start a new chapter for our great country.”MORE TO SAY

Will three be the charm? I have an 11:30 appointment with Dr Bliss today. Because of the snow I had to cancel twice before. Yesterday was rather warm compared to the rest of the week and so a lot of snow has melted. My son said he'd give me a ride (he has a four-wheel drive truck) but I'd like to see if I can get out of my drive way. Yesterday the county actually had a snow truck come through my development and plowed the roads, so if I can go the 50 feet or so out of my garage to the street it should be a snap. We'll see in just a few hours. * - - - - - * I've got to do something special for my neighbors. They are the nicest people I know. All during this snow they have brought me my paper and mail each day. Yesterday they even gave me a dinner of turkey and all the trimmings. I know that Mike travels a lot in his job in fact he is headed to Japan early next month so I'm thinking if I gave them a card with some money in it suggesting they go out to dinner before he goes. I know in my heart that money is often looked at as being tacky. I give money for birthdays and Christmas because I feel it's better that they buy something they want, need or can use. * - - - - - * Why do dogs sleep on the floor when they have nice soft pillows to sleep on? * - - - - - *I BEG YOUR PARDON

¡Sí, Se Puede! It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land. Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea -- Yes. We. Can.WHAT WENT WRONG 4 OF 4
When Sarah Chayes left her job as an NPR reporter to help rebuild Afghanistan, she did so because she believed that Afghanistan had the potential to be a stable, lawful country. Seven years later, as the incoming Obama Administration looks to change course in Afghanistan and send in 20,000 more troops, Chayes joins Bill Moyers on THE JOURNAL to explain what she thinks U.S. policy should be in the region.

Well I spent half a day at my Doctors office doing test to make sure my heart can take the surgery. I went in at 8 a.m. and got home a little after noon. Half of the time was laying flat on my back while a BIGASS MACHAINE acted like it would gobble me up. Half the time I was out in the waiting room drinking 4 glasses of water. That a lot of water all at one time. I now know what water boarding is all about.

Leahy Buckles, Will Push Back Holder Hearings The Senate Judiciary Committee will delay confirmation hearings for Attorney General nominee Eric Holder after all -- accommodating Republican concerns that the appointment was being rushed and more vetting of Holder's resume was needed. Leahy's move is, at the very least, a small tactical victory for Republicans in the Senate. GOP members of the Judiciary Committee protested on the floor that Holder's work in the Clinton White House -- specifically his role in the pardoning of fugitive financier Marc Rich -- required more examination. Their objections were believed to be directed by Karl Rove, who was reportedly organizing the Republican caucus on the issue. Why the hell do the dems always seem to give in to these guys especially if they think Carl Rove has had a hand in it. * - - - - - * Bush Acknowledges Absence Of Al Qaeda In Pre-Occupation Iraq With A 'So What?' Reality-based observers have long known that the Bush administration's attempts to connect al Qaeda with pre-invasion Iraq have been nothing more than a campaign of misinformation. Al Qaeda had no presence in Iraq prior to the 2003 invasion, and even afterward, the so-called "al Qaeda in Iraq" never amounted to anything more than a "microscopic terrorist organization". That's what makes this part of the interview between President George W. Bush and ABC News' Martha Raddatz, highlighted by Ali Frick at Think Progress, so extraordinary. BUSH: One of the major theaters against al Qaeda turns out to have been Iraq. This is where al Qaeda said they were going to take their stand. This is where al Qaeda was hoping to take- RADDATZ: But not until after the U.S. invaded. BUSH: Yeah, that's right. So what? The point is that al Qaeda said they're going to take a stand. Well, first of all in the post-9/11 environment Saddam Hussein posed a threat. And then upon removal, al Qaeda decides to take a stand. Wow. "That's right. So what?" That's how he admits that the repeatedly mentioned links between the September 11 attacks, al Qaeda, and Iraq were just manipulations? * - - - - - * VP Cheney expressed doubt that President Obama would, as he has promised, close Guantanamo Bay. "Guantanamo has been very, very valuable. And I think they'll discover that trying to close it is a very hard proposition," he said. "They're unlawful combatants. And you if you're not going to have a place to locate them like Guantanamo, then you either have to bring them here to the continental United States and I don't know any member of Congress who's volunteering to have al Qaeda terrorists deposited in his district." * - - - - - *I BEG YOUR PARDON

It documents how the Pentagon "simply put out inflated measures of progress to cover up" failures. It also reveals how officials were "operating by the seat of their pants," documenting one exchange between Jay Garner, then-head of the Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance, and then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, on the potential cost of the reconstruction: The history records how Mr. Garner presented Mr. Rumsfeld with several rebuilding plans, including one that would include projects across Iraq. "What do you think that'll cost?" Mr. Rumsfeld asked of the more expansive plan. "I think it's going to cost billions of dollars," Mr. Garner said. "My friend," Mr. Rumsfeld replied, "if you think we're going to spend a billion dollars of our money over there, you are sadly mistaken." "The bitterest message" of the report, the Times notes, is that, for all the billions spent on Iraq reconstruction, "the rebuilding effort never did much more than restore what was destroyed during the invasion and the convulsive looting that followed. * - - - - - * Well the countdown begins tomorrow when I got to Harrison Hospital to attend a presentation on orthopaedic surgery seminar.

As the headline says the Auto Bailout (LOAN) failed in the senate by the GOP and the Southern senators. They talk about about the the HIGH pay of the workers. . . that's PURE BULLSHIT. The average GM assembly-line worker makes about $28 per hour in wages, and I can assure you that GM is not paying $42 an hour in health insurance and pension plan contributions. Rather, the $70 per hour figure (or $73 an hour, or whatever) is a ridiculous number obtained by adding up GM's total labor, health, and pension costs, and then dividing by the total number of hours worked. In other words, it includes all the healthcare and retirement costs of retired workers.Click below to read the full article. <----( Read the full article here )
On Wall Street, his name is legendary. With money he had made as a lifeguard on the beaches of Long Island, he built a trading powerhouse that had prospered for more than four decades. At age 70, he had become an influential spokesman for the traders who are the hidden gears of the marketplace.
But on Thursday morning, this consummate trader, Bernard L. Madoff, was arrested at his Manhattan home by federal agents who accused him of running a multibillion-dollar fraud scheme - perhaps the largest in Wall Street's history.
Regulators have not yet verified the scale of the fraud. But the criminal complaint filed against Mr. Madoff on Thursday in federal court in Manhattan reports that he estimated the losses at $50 billion. "We are alleging a massive fraud - both in terms of scope and duration," said Linda Chatman Thomsen, director of the enforcement division at the Securities and Exchange Commission. "We are moving quickly and decisively to stop the fraud and protect remaining assets for investors."
Andrew M. Calamari, an associate director for enforcement in the S.E.C.'s regional office in New York, said the case involved "a stunning fraud that appears to be of epic proportions."

I hope today's post will be the last on this CRAP about Christmas that Bill O'Reilly likes to bring up year after year. I got this from the Horsesass.org,Gregoire and McKenna issue statement on atheist display Gov. Chris Gregoire and AG Rob McKenna have just issued a joint, bipartisan statement on Bill O'Reilly's manufactroversy over the atheist display in the state Capitol: "Last year, after a federal lawsuit was filed against the state of Washington by the Alliance Defense Fund, the state's Department of General Administration set forth a policy allowing individuals or groups to sponsor a display regardless of that individual's or group's views. "The Legislative Building belongs to all citizens of Washington state, and houses the state Legislature, as well as the offices of several state-elected executives, including the governor. The U.S. Supreme Court has been consistent and clear that, under the Constitution's First Amendment, once government admits one religious display or viewpoint onto public property, it may not discriminate against the content of other displays, including the viewpoints of non-believers." So there you have it. I guess my pseudo-legal analysis of the issue was basically right. It's a shame that even their communications staffs had be distracted by bullshit like this when there are issues of so much greater import to address, but apparently the've been fielding hundreds of phone calls-mostly from out of state-after O'Reilly attempted to bully the governor by posting her phone number on national television. Whatever. Both Gregoire and McKenna have more important things to do, and if I were them I wouldn't pay any more attention to Billo and his annual War on Christmas bluster.* - - - - - * I'm still not happy with my family room layout but because of my bad hip it takes a long time and alot of effort for me to do any lifting or moving. When I'm done with this post for example I'm going to unplug and rewire two of my system and at the same time move them to a 4 ft table vs the 6 footer that I'm using now. I here is a picture of the wire mess that I need to also fix. Click on the image for a full view.

Keith Olbermann has listed the various scandles in the Bush administration. Here are three more.
Mukasey sickening himself? In Bushed, Countdown's Keith Olbermann questions the state of Attorney General Michael Mukasey's health and whether his collapse was the result of paranoia, delusions, revenge fantasies and hypocrisy or all the wrong-doings at Guantanamo Bay. * *WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
Keith Olbermann picks the three worst persons in the world.
Rubber, glue and Sean Hannity. In accusing supporters of Barack Obama of being poorly informed voters, Fox News' Sean Hannity leads many to believe that it's Fox viewers who are poorly informed. * *DOGS RULE - YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE

I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny?
Yeah, well I couldn't believe it. . . he was a DWARF!!! He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!' So, I looked down at him and said, 'Well, then which one are you?' And then the fight started. . .MY KIDS

I've finish clearing of all the files from the PC's my son is going to give to the school in South Kitsap. Man that was a job. I ended up doing a disk cleanup and defrag. . . that took about 3-4 hours. I was having so much fun I decided to do the same thing on two of my systems. It's the kind of stuff you should do weekly but never do. * - - - - - *
First it was Bush (hope to have more on that later this week) but now it dear old Karl Rove re-writing History.
They just have no shame.
* - - - - - * I think I mentioned that I took back my HP TouchSmart PC to Costco the other day. Well last night I was putting some stuff away in my equipment storage closet and found some documentation for that HP system that I had over looked when I was packing it up. I called Costco to ask what I should do and the gal said that I didn't need to return it if I didn't want to, that the system was already sent off to be refurbished and repacked. I told her I was going to Costco tomorrow and would feel better if I returned it to them. I swear there is no BETTER run company than Costco in America. * - - - - - *

He's still milking this NON-ISSUE-ISSUE of his.
This SO CALLED WAR ON CHRISTMAS is just so much BULLSHIT. It's hard to imagine folks getting riled up once again about the so-called War on Christmas, when they're more worried about how their going to pay for any Christmas celebration at all. This sort of divisive rhetoric is a luxury I'm not sure many Americans can afford during these tough economic times. It's getting very old. * *WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD

Merry Christmas to all (and nothing else). Dec. 2: Sen. Chris Buttars, R-Utah, is introducing a bill that would, "encourage the use of 'Merry Christmas'" by retailers in his state. In Worst Person in the World, Countdown's Keith Olbermann explains points out the slippery slope the bill would create. * *DOGS RULE - YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' 'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And then the fight started. . .MY KIDS

Well yesterday was a very busy day for me. Saw my heart doctor (more on that tomorrow). I got a good start on my book keeping, hope to finish that up today. What took my time was the cleanup and backup of my sons old PC. Man that system is so slooooooowwwwwww. I'm just now finishing up doing a disk cleanup and defrag (3% complete) it'll run for another hour or so. Before I started the cleanup I copied all the images and videos that I could find on the system. I put them on a portable harddrive. * - - - - - * I don't use my cell phone so I have no reason to learn these texting short cuts, so these may not be a fair criticism. I just wonder if we are dumbing down our kids with all this texting stuff.I BEG YOUR PARDON

U.S. torture policy hurts the U.S. Dec. 1: A former Special Ops interrogator wrote a chilling editorial in the Washington Post Friday, claiming that the "number of U.S. soldiers who have died because of our torture policy will never be definitively known, but it is fair to say that it is close to the number of lives lost on September 11, 2001." Countdown's Keith Olbermann explains why the torture situation at Guantanamo Bay needs to be dealt with immediately. * *WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
Keith Olbermann picks the three worst persons in the world.
O'Reilly's Christmas is secular? Dec. 1: While promoting his book, frequent Worst Person in the World, Bill O'Reilly, told Newsday that he's a "secular guy" who doesn't accept arguments about laws based on religion. Countdown's Keith Olbermann revisits O'Reilly's campaign to oppose the "war on Christmas." * *DOGS RULE - YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home.
I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'you should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.' And then the fight started...MY KIDS

Well I never got a reply to my security camera system question so yesterday I took it back. Life goes on. Sometimes I get the feeling that companies use the Internet to cut down on their help calls. . . without ever helping or answering their question. Don't think that's a good lesson on wining friends and influencing people. * - - - - - * This is a short post today cause I've got some book work, PC backup and getting ready to visit my heart doctor later today. Getting ready for my hip replacement that is scheduled on the 6th of January. * - - - - - *I BEG YOUR PARDON
