Little boy does not have skin-transmitting Alzheimer's-inducing drugs on his hand. None whatsoever. Is no such things exists. I am normal Soviet citizen with camera.

I come not to bury thee, morning thread, but to praise thee. Not bad commentary. I'd give it at least a 7 out of 11.

;D

"But Palin has been destroyed. She could discover the cure for cancer tomorrow and we'd still only being seeing viral clips from Tina Fey's SNL sketches.
—Dr. Shatterhand

"Destroyed" — I heard that about Ted Cruz too, just yesterday.

Your concern regarding media portrayals and public insipidity is understandable.

I'll be interested to see how her future unfolds, nonetheless.

Feels like I'm 'way behind. Prob everybody has moved on to new threads? I must get to RL myself shortly.

I think she is quite happy letting us speculate on what her intentions might be every 4 years, and collecting advances from her latest book, or reality TV show.
— Dr. Shatterhand

I've frequently seen this cynical, mercenary analysis.

Since I never get that impression about her motives, I always wonder if those who ascribe such to her are projecting, if not just trolling.

1/3 down 2/3 to go.

$#!t I did that fast, hit post then went wait! too late.

Palin "has been turned into a cartoon character, there is nothing we can do about that now, she is not a viable candidate for national office, and she never will be again."

Thank you for your concern.

I have a little paperback collection of editorial cartoons of Reagan. It's interesting. They mock him for thinking he can benefit the economy and haha get this bring down the USSR!

I'll take a cartoon Palin over the tortured caricature in the oval office.

DAY 486 — 978 to go

Check my math (yeah, I know), but I think that's 1/3 down 2/3 to go.

From the end of the article about mom driving the kids into the drink:

"She had this look on her face..... I can't describe it. It was just an awful blank look, like spaced out look."

Nobody home. Evil? Drugs? Post-partum? Brains are such delicate, fallible things to have a mind in.

Thanks to Heaven the kids were okay. And may the mom get the help she needs.

Morning, Glories.

Thanks for the news roundup, Vic & the usual crew.

I'll share a secret.

I went back in time. I killed the Warlord. You never heard of him. Lucky you. His evil cult had conquered Eurasia.

When I got back, there was the Mongol King vs The Spanish Prince war split the world. America should not have joined in. Horrible.You never heard of that became I went back again and killed both of them as children.

When I returned, there was Hitler and Lenin and Mao, folks no one had ever heard of before my travels.

That's when I destroyed the time machine.

It just doesn't work that way.

Good night, Gracies.

Was just reading backwards roughly 450 to 350.

It's ... interesting reading that way.

and the fact that it goes to 11 on IMDB.

made me look.

I salute the iMBD webmaster responsible.

Good evening, folks.

Better than me. I picked a Commodore 64.
—Nick Ovtyme

I recall looking at Commodores wistfully on occasion, too. EA's Deluxe Paint was native to the Commodore, IIRC. I did a lot of work with that great old program, but the MS-DOS port wasn't as good as the native version, so I heard. Understandably.

EA forgot Deluxe Paint when Windows came along. And were never heard from again. :/

There are moments in life which define your future.

I was looking at computers. There was several choices, including a kit named after a fruit, which I briefly considered.

But I chose Radio Shack's Model I, because I thought, Shack will be around when these other companies are forgotten. Mostly right.

Model I led to Laptop 100, which led me to BBS and CompuServe. Those two served me until I could jump to the PC-AT, and for quite a while after that. And so was my course charted to MS-DOS and I was spared from being an Apple-atchic. Although, as an artist & videographer, with limited budget for hardware & software, I've often looked at Macs wistfully.

Thank you, Radio Shack.

And to whoever wrote the intro to BASIC book that came with the Model I.

"Read This, It's Funny"

Hmmmm. I'll check the reviews first.

I finally caught up with the sunrise headline comments thread! I finally caught up with the sunrise headline comments thread!

"Report: Syrian Jihadis Behead Christian Man, Thrust Crucifix Into His Heart…"
—RWC

Two thoughts as I read this.

1.

Rather than outrage, the crucifix in the heart — In the heart!! — actually gave me a thrill. What a fantastic honor this Christian has received, will receive. Glory!

2.

"Jesus is Coming Back
