Is it your belief that she'll take the job and then do nothing for her constituents? I'm assuming you had no problem voting the for the rich privileged person occupying the whitehouse right now.

State of Illinois boycotting Bank of America

I apologize GG. I've been unemployed for awhile and I guess I have a lot of sympathy for these people. -

ANOTHER Extreme Makeover home in foreclosure
Steely Dan replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Geez, I thought this country was all about trying to succeed. Those people tried to make a go of things in business and failed. What a bunch of lazy butted jerks. -

Where have you heard that any other companies associated with RWD are suffering? Find me a company that is laying people off due to this closing and I'll see how big of an effect it's having on them and decide if it's worse than this companies. Those companies will get something once the assets are sold off but these people can't wait that long for their money. Get it! You have always been on the side of business and against anyone else. I don't think it's a big assumption to believe you really don't care about the people affected by this. Tell me what should be done to see these people through the rest of the month? -

There is no question in my mind now that you are the biggest on this board. Do you have an ounce of humanity in your soul? -
Sorry Cincy, fixed the attribution to the article. Didn't think anyone would possibly think I wrote that. He's saying I'm a plagiarist.

On this date in history - December 7th 1941

I was going by this part in Cincy's article: He and his men jumped onto a truck and took off to their positions at Fort Kamehameha near Hickam Field. More than 3,500 Americans were killed or injured during the two-hour attack. I should have said dead or injured. My bad. -
Get lost Willis. IMO, she's just another woman blaming herself for the beatings she takes and it wouldn't surprise me to find out this was an intentional shooting.

I'm not sure it's BOA's responsibility but if the government has to bail out these workers then it's kind of 6 of 1 half a dozen of another. What's your solution? They had to see what was coming and closed down when they had 60 days of pay left for the employees. As I said above I don't think it's BOA's responsibility but someone has to help these workers. Who are they going to sue for their money? -
For once it's not a link not working just for Deano. Needo Fixo.

From my daily History Channel Email: December 8: General Interest 1980 : John Lennon shot John Lennon, a former member of the Beatles, the rock group that transformed popular music in the 1960s, is shot and killed by an obsessed fan in New York City. The 40-year-old artist was entering his luxury Manhattan apartment building when Mark David Chapman shot him four times at close range with a .38-caliber revolver. Lennon, bleeding profusely, was rushed to the hospital but died en route. Chapman had received an autograph from Lennon earlier in the day and voluntarily remained at the scene of the shooting until he was arrested by police. For a week, hundreds of bereaved fans kept a vigil outside the Dakota--Lennon's apartment building--and demonstrations of mourning were held around the world. John Lennon was one half of the singing-songwriting team that made the Beatles the most popular musical group of the 20th century. The other band leader was Paul McCartney, but the rest of the quartet--George Harrison and Ringo Starr--sometimes penned and sang their own songs as well. Hailing from Liverpool, England, and influenced by early American rock and roll, the Beatles took Britain by storm in 1963 with the single "Please Please Me." "Beatlemania" spread to the United States in 1964 with the release of "I Want to Hold Your Hand," followed by a sensational U.S. tour. With youth poised to break away from the culturally rigid landscape of the 1950s, the "Fab Four," with their exuberant music and good-natured rebellion, were the perfect catalyst for the shift. The Beatles sold millions of records and starred in hit movies such as A Hard Day's Night (1964). Their live performances were near riots, with teenage girls screaming and fainting as their boyfriends nodded along to the catchy pop songs. In 1966, the Beatles gave up touring to concentrate on their innovative studio recordings, such as 1967's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, a psychedelic concept album that is regarded as a masterpiece of popular music. The Beatles' music remained relevant to youth throughout the great cultural shifts of the 1960s, and critics of all ages acknowledged the songwriting genius of the Lennon-McCartney team. Lennon was considered the intellectual Beatle and certainly was the most outspoken of the four. He caused a major controversy in 1966 when he declared that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus," prompting mass burnings of Beatles' records in the American Bible Belt. He later became an anti-war activist and flirted with communism in the lyrics of solo hits like "Imagine," recorded after the Beatles disbanded in 1970. In 1975, Lennon dropped out of the music business to spend more time with his Japanese-born wife, Yoko Ono, and their son, Sean. In 1980, he made a comeback with Double-Fantasy, a critically acclaimed album that celebrated his love for Yoko and featured songs written by her. On December 8, 1980, their peaceful domestic life on New York's Upper West Side was shattered by 25-year-old Mark David Chapman. Psychiatrists deemed Chapman a borderline psychotic. He was instructed to plead insanity, but instead he pleaded guilty to murder. He was sentenced to 20 years to life. In 2000, New York State prison officials denied Chapman a parole hearing, telling him that his "vicious and violent act was apparently fueled by your need to be acknowledged." He remains behind bars at Attica Prison in New York State. John Lennon is memorialized in "Strawberry Fields," a section of Central Park across the street from the Dakota that Yoko Ono landscaped in honor of her husband.

My favorite cartoon chick is 6 of 9 from a sci-fi late night 3D cartoon that I can't remember the name of. Maybe she's on the list I didn't get that far.

I'm Considering Moving From Firefox 2.0 To 3.0

Ok, I've gotten it all to fit on this page with the higher font size. I no longer have to C++ this site anymore and everything is great! However, on other sites the whole page doesn't fit. -

Ok, font problem solved. Tools, options, content, fonts and colors advanced, minimum font size for pages. Problem now is getting the whole page to fit on the screen. I was able to increase the font and it would keep the margins on the whole page. It won't now. I have to figure that one out now. -

If I can't figure out how to fix this I'll go back to 2.0. I like Firefox a lot. -

Ok, I did what I said above again and this time instead of just restarting Firefox I restarted my computer too and it doesn't make a lick of difference. BTW, the smiley's are huge but the text is 9 or less.
