Yeah, I think it is a salmon. But that’s a barracuda holding it (please oh please oh please). I’m still trying to brainstorm. Maybe tonight’s speech will loosen my muse.
Ew. That makes my muse sound like an intestinal complaint.
“I didn’t get all my homework done and will have to stay up late on a work night to finish, but it was totally worth it.”
I plan on staying up late to work on a book about heroin production in Afghanistan and USAID attempts to curb poppy cultivation. It will be worth it.
I recently figured out that since February, I have read over 5,000 pages on the Middle East and Central Asia (in addition to a few other books, like Doctor Zhivago). I love it. The really frustrating thing is, that’s just a drop in the bucket of all there is to know. You could spend all day, every day reading about the world, its people, and their history, and never know more than the tiniest fraction.
Hooked on Sarah. Impaled by Palin. Right through the heart.
I loved the part where she said… Here’s a little news flash for [the media.] I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion. I’m going to Washing to serve the people.
One would be a list of myths about Afghanistan, mostly propogated by media liberals. For example, liberals like to assert that the Taliban came to power because the CIA supported the mujahideen against the Soviets, and that the Afghans are too independent for the invasion to possibly work.
Another would be a discussion of the SCOTUS War on Terror cases. I’ve seen people comment on the cases as they come down, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone comment on all of them, as a whole.
Had to work through the speech, but the Mrs. debriefed me. She (and my daughter) were totally jazzed.
On Tuesday morning I heard some moron in a cubicle across the way going on about the abominable Palin-wasn’t-pregnant slander. Having followed it closely over the weekend, it was all I could do to keep from shouting out, “Dude! That’s so Sunday night!!”
But I figured that might earn me an early departure from my current gig.
Anyway, I don’t care what Mrs. Peel thinks. In fact, I don’t care what any of you think. I have Pure Lutheran Doctrine™, and that’s what matters. So you can all just go screw yourselves.
. . .
. . .
I say that as a gentle admonition out of Christian love and charity.
Muslihoon only covers social, religious, military, political, linguistic, and economic history over the past 8000 years. That’s the kind of shortfall you get when you’re spending all your time alley-catting around with the ladies.
At Lutheran Millennium HQ™, the prestigious jobs are all in the Evangelism Department. So I filled out an application, and then I put on my best suit and combed my hair and went in for an interview for an Evangelist position.
They asked me how I would evangelize people, so I told them what my pitch would be. It was sort of like the closing argument for a jury.
That’s how I ended up with a frickin’ administrative job in the Corrections Department, working for the reeducation camps.
Frickin’ bureaucrats. They just can’t think outside the box. They have this “Gospel” fixation.
It’s all I got, Michael. You wouldn’t take it away from me, would you? Would you?
I have no clue how to do my last two homework problems, and the internet has failed me. sigh. It would help if I could grok the difference between voltage and EMF.
It would help if I could grok the difference between voltage and EMF.
That’s easy. Electromotive force (EMF) describes electronic source, and voltage describes electronic force. So, for example, for a voltaic cell the source of emf is the chemical reactions that occur at each of the electrode-electrolyte interfaces, so that a voltaic cell can be thought of as two “surface pumps” of atomic dimension. The reactions at the electrode-electrolyte interfaces provide the “seat” of emf for the voltaic cell. For the power company, the source of emf is electromagnetic induction, which is more extended than an atomic size, but nevertheless is confined to the power generation building, usually many miles from the user.
Voltage measures throughput, like water through a pipe. With a voltmeter, you can measure the potential difference between the positive and negative terminals of a battery. The polarity of this measured potential difference is always opposite to that of the generated EMF.
EMF does not measure the pipe, but the the ‘force’ with which positive and negative charges could be separated (i.e. moved, hence “electromotive”), and was also called “electromotive power” (although it is not a power in the modern sense).
So, I was mostly copying from Wiki above, but the basic idea I gleaned is that voltage measures the potential power of the pipe, and EMF measures the potential power of the positive and negative charges that are available between the terminals, regardless of the pipe.
Also, Faraday’s Law is involved somehow. I don’t care about Faraday, because his teenage daughter was a slut who got herself knocked up by a hockey player, so Faraday has no credibility. I’ll bet Faraday was not even Lutheran. Ordinarily, we Lutherans would not admit someone with a gay name like FARADAY.
If I had gotten that Evangelist job, my appeal to FARADAY would have been to bitch-slap him until he cried like a baby.
Frickin’ poser. He does not get to write a Law.
Fuck him.
. . .
. . .
. . .
I say that in the spirit of Christian brotherly love and concern for Faraday’s eternal salvation.
Sobek, if you decide to go ahead with the SCOTUS GWoT piece, email me and I can probably get you some research material. One of my high school/college buddies is a Navy JAG lawyer who’s working with the prosecution team at Gitmo. Since we stood up in each others weddings, I don’t think he’d mind if I asked him a few non-classified material questions about the process.
If the old man dont do the trick
No, you better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooohhhh, Sarah barracuda.
Actually, I think that’s a salmon.
Slammin’ Salmon Sarah Palin?
Good work sweasel.
Yeah, I think it is a salmon. But that’s a barracuda holding it (please oh please oh please). I’m still trying to brainstorm. Maybe tonight’s speech will loosen my muse.
Ew. That makes my muse sound like an intestinal complaint.
Maybe some “muselix” would help you get that going, S-Dubya.
(thank you, thank you. I’ll be here all week. Try the veal!)
is it “sal-mon” or “sammin”?
I kinda like “sammin”. It sounds like “sammich”.
Also there are shotguns blasting away at dove right now and I’m stuck out here by the pool sipping a martini.
Dammit.
Raises glass at DinT.
There’s a vicious rumor going around that The Hostages will be live/drunk blogging ‘The Speech’ tonight.
I’m on my 4th Beam and Coke. Don’t know if I’ll make it to the speech.
Is it at 9 or 10?
I would guess 10 EDT, to stop at the local news broadcast.
How the fuck do you people stay up that late to watch the news??
*toast my pal., the Rangemaster
My liver will NEVER last until The Speech. I will, as usual, stream it over C-SPAN in the wee hours.
And we all know why we call it the wee hours, don’t we?
The wee hours? “Cause you gotta get up to pee?
I haven’t needed an alarm clock since I turned 38.
Nor me. And I don’t even *have* a prostate gland.
“I haven’t needed an alarm clock since I turned 38.”
I haven’t needed an alarm clock since I had kids.
My boys used to wake me up. Since they figured out the TV remote, fridge, and toaster…not so much.
Sobek,
This election needs, nay…begs for an interview with the croc god.
You gainful yet?
Holy shit!
I hope you saw Sarah’s speech tonight. She just knocked the ball out of the park.
Man, I just loved the reference to the styrofoam Greek columns.
And the observation that the presidency should not be a “journey of self-discovery.”
Jeebers. She disemboweled Barack with humor and charm, and never seemed mean in the process.
She also got some major cred describing how she took on the Republican “good old boy network” in Juno.
I’m in love. She has a real shot at becoming our first female president in 2012.
Juneau, Michael, but yeah, she was awesome. Sweet smile + shiv in the chest = AWWWW-SUM.
Probably the first time in Mrs. Geezer’s life that she watched the RNC.
She’s hooked on Sarah.
I have a role model for the first time in my life.
I didn’t get all my homework done and will have to stay up late on a work night to finish, but it was totally worth it.
“You gainful yet?”
Not yet.

Not that it will stop me from trying, though.

I loved the part where she said… Here’s a little news flash for [the media.] I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion. I’m going to Washing to serve the people.
I got a couple of ideas for long posts here.
One would be a list of myths about Afghanistan, mostly propogated by media liberals. For example, liberals like to assert that the Taliban came to power because the CIA supported the mujahideen against the Soviets, and that the Afghans are too independent for the invasion to possibly work.

Sobek, I say this with love, but you are are frickin’ idiot.
If you want to know anything about anybody anywhere, just ask Muslihoon. Have you not been paying attention?
Sheesh.
Had to work through the speech, but the Mrs. debriefed me. She (and my daughter) were totally jazzed.
On Tuesday morning I heard some moron in a cubicle across the way going on about the abominable Palin-wasn’t-pregnant slander. Having followed it closely over the weekend, it was all I could do to keep from shouting out, “Dude! That’s so Sunday night!!”
But I figured that might earn me an early departure from my current gig.
“Have you not been paying attention?”
I once corrected Musli when he said Tajiks are Turks.
It’s not much, but I still cling to it.
I still cling to it
Bitterly, no doubt.
It’s not much, but I still cling to it.
Kinda like Mrs. Peel is going to cling to my misspelling of Juno. Dammit. I actually knew that and was just not thinking.
It keeps me warm at night. “Yeah, you sure showed him. That’s right. He’s not so tough. You’re still worth something…”
Anyway, I don’t care what Mrs. Peel thinks. In fact, I don’t care what any of you think. I have Pure Lutheran Doctrine™, and that’s what matters. So you can all just go screw yourselves.

Michael, I’m impressed, cuz if that had offended the little tachyon, you would have had a large hole in your chest. (I’m telling you, she’s a ninja!)
AS for EMF, and Voltage.
I’m out of practice, and while I could probably give a decent description, I know that Peel would tear me apart, so it’s up to her.

I saw a story about “Deep Linking” and a lawsuit involving it. Kinda interesting:
