Colorless Green Ideas

Have you ever stopped to consider, what life would be like if we could all wield powerful, life or death magic ? Would we be talking on our cellphone.. or , would we head out at sunset to the circles of summoning... GPS coordinates as the glowing runes of a magical sword. Would we use the trappings of modern society. Would money.. be the primary vehicle of status. If our very armor could protect us, would it simply be lands end. Or would it be something else.. altogether.. Beware nightfall, reader... something wicked this way comes.

Not many campaigns can afford to buy this much airtime. Not many campaigns have ever occurred in American history where the money comes directly from the people, through the internet. Not many people can afford to sit on their couch and hope that what is being broadcast to a million people tonight, is what they need to see. I'm glad someone posted this so I could find it. I hope you enjoy it as well. I especially liked the part that Bill Richardson played at the end, because I'm actually more stoked about the prospect of Bill Richardson as Secretary of State, than anything else. Have Fun This Week/ Happy Halloween, and Don't Forget Next Week You Rock The Vote.

The way to find a market bottom is to look at three factors. One, if something called a "triple bottom" is occurring where the stock prices try to fall lower, but hit a certain baseline and rebound three times. Two, where the um.. I forget what it was called, but its like a variance - begins with an S- or something, and it starts to narrow. Basically that means that the market is going into a volatile phase again (so its hit a stable point and moving upward). And three, if you read my blog and you're clever. Enough people make money off me already. Obama's speech yesterday didn't hurt, either. The markets rallied right after it - Wall Street wants a stable, respected administration. They didn't drink the Hang-Sen coolaid yesterday. What stocks look good? My uncle day-traded AIG to a two-bagger (200 percent return). I am thinking maybe its time to look at blue chips. It takes nerve to trade in a market like this. Then again. It takes nerve to fal...

Idyllic.. the sun on my skin..and then... they came for me.

Its funny when you work on language, you can be taken to the farthest reaches of best practices - if you play your cards right. People use language to identify themselves. Spammers can be identified by a triplet of information - the originating IP address or relay of the mailserver they use to blast mail, the sender, and the recipient address. These three elements are the only key elements of the message that can truly identify the origin. Accent can identify a person, as can language quirks. For spammers, the fatal identification is that their network identifies them. No spammer ever sent a single email without being able to login, receive a unique address, and then somehow connect to an address that is publicly routed. In addition, they often go with "fire and forget" .. they attempt to send the spam to one or several MX hosts for a domain, but then never attempt a true retry as a real MTA would. You've probably been annoyed by spam, at some point. I really like...

Jim Martin is an interesting candidate for the Georgia Senate race. First, he's running a campaign without money. Let me say that again, he's actually tied for winning a seat in the Senate of the United States of America, in the 21st century, from a campaign that has almost zero cash and is running literally , almost no television advertising. Martin is supremely qualified to be the Senator from Georgia. First, he really understands the healthcare issues of Americans and in particular, the role that a normalized, sane universal healthcare system would play in stabilizing the prices charged for medical services, and vaulting the 20 million uninsured into the system. He helped create Peachcare, which is Ga.'s healthcare system for young children and others who have no coverage - and its a huge success. The GOP cutting into this system, are losing massive numbers of voters and they're turning towards Jim. He's served served as chairman of a number of committees ...

Cue to the Cigaretta whipping past a Dade county harbor. .. Alright, I have noticed a difference in McCain vs. Obama, that here in Georgia, is starting to play out for a victory for Barack (he's already up by six points in early voting). Sarah Palin was the reason that GA turned to McCain's camp. Not many people know this, but before the GOP convention GA was 42 - 44 percent in favor of McCain. After, it was 55 - 39. But as the campaign wore on, GA voters, which are really voters for reform, and change - are noticing that Obama's campaign is about his presidency, whereas McCain's campaign seems to be a Karl Rove style succession of maneuvers like his appointment of Sarah, or his grandstanding of the Financial Crisis and subsequent attempt to stall his first debate. GA fought fiercely in the civil war - the North had the means of production, factories, gear. The south had moxie. To see McCain publicly stand up for courage, conviction, and change - and yet embrac...

We Vote. Go ahead and vote early, and get it done. This election is going to be about real leadership. And if Obama gets elected Nov. 2, then good. We've done something cool for the country. The real work will begin once we've got clear leadership.

I told my friend, that if you drop a dead cat from the top of the empire state building even though it would die, its body would bounce up after it hit the ground He turned to me and said the cat probably has a better chance of living even though it is falling from a higher place, because the cat would relax as it approaches terminal velocity And then it occured to me.. magneto was mad titanium too And the crimson dynamo just couldn't cut it no more ...you were the law What goes through the mind of a cat falling so fast.. his ass lulz

Animal Mind, faded from her cortex the high school still laughing at her she wants to hide behind her teen binder, there on her desk she wants to become invisible how could they lay all of her troubles down? how could they make fun of her like this? It was his fault, after all The words once flowed but now like a gun pointed in the wrong direction she can't make herself pull the trigger she can't do it anymore No longer a Desert Eagle No more connection to the blogger He decides to lock himself down for the cold winter and wait through it all he specializes in MILFs, he makes them feel wanted sexy, romantic, desirable but this world is nothing without her and he misses her She was the kind of girl that would grab it and tap it on the head and say "Is this thing on?" Quietly I spread my dark wings over their space Yes. Its dark at high noon And somehow they know Their new england eyes seem to whisper to me when they smile Sometimes I w...

She's standing next to Big Ben the morning is cold, she draws her raincoat tight the cross hatch timbers collect beads of light He wipes his head takes a drag of a cigarette meets her for coffee but not her gaze how could you do this? wear your pretty face turn to face the audience no one makes a sound the white lights upon him now sparkling upon his brow He casts his eyes outside cream swirls like fog in his hand How are you going to manage he asks beneath his breath she sits across from him in tight lipped rage She screams at him secretly in her mind the rage and frustration of a misspent life detonates upon on the table blowing the windows into the half-light to radiate cold shafts of broken glass hanging in the air , sky fire diamonds they play out their last scene They are alone, quiet, peaceful accepting a certain grace he puts the pen down on the table its metal sheen against the white cloth and she signs in broken hand in dark blue line o...

I share the problems, that Sarah Palin shares. I am, at my worst, egotistical, self centered, narcissistic and completely unable to see myself as wrong in any way. I try to force issues, where none should be forced. I usually try to find ways to make whatever I am thinking , the right thing for everyone - or, alternately, if you are opposing me - I tend to - when I am at my worst - give you the ninth degree. If at the end of all of that, you're still lined up against me, and you happen to be right - again, at my worst - I tend to acquiesce whatever point may have been made. I also share her problem of being unable, at times, to focus on a question. For example, she was asked "What is your Achilles Heel?" and she responded by saying , in effect, that she's perfect as she is. She completely ignored the question. In her mind, she felt that she answered it, I am certain of that. Because that delusion - that inability to see the question for what it is, and to fo...
