And that would be a bad thing? Although I don't think it would be an
implosion as it were. There is already a vacuum inside his cranium so
it would have to be a reintroduction of the fecal matter he normally
uses as brain matter and introduce an overpressure condition causing
an explosion.

I'm actually a little ashamed of myself this morning - I let He Who
Must Not Be named get to me for some reason. I accidentally opened
one of his nasty little comments and got carried away - again it would
appear in this post.

So for that, I apologize to the group for running off the deep end a
little bit. Sorry - my bad.

With respect to He Who Must Not Be Named - well frankly he's a
infected pustule on the ass of rec.boats and his trained monkeys who
follow him around, while annoying, only respond to his posturing. The
only answer would be surgery and as of this second, that's what I'm
going to do - excise him surgically (in a metaphorical sense you
understand) responding only to the normal folks here.

Excelsior!!!

Isn't it interesting that you'd join in derailing a post about Alan
Grayson to focus the spotlight on yourself...

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Getting enough attention lately Tom? Need a little more?

Republicans Fail to Stop Rep. Grayson From Reciting Body Count of Uninsured

Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., tried to stop the Florida Democrat in the
middle of his reading on the House floor Wednesday night.

House Republicans failed in an attempt Wednesday to prevent outspoken
Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., from reading aloud the number of people he
claims have died for lack of health insurance in every GOP member's
district.

Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., tried to stop the Florida Democrat in the
middle of his reading on the House floor Wednesday night. Grayson has
agitated Republicans in recent weeks for accusing them of wanting sick
Americans to "die quickly" and for making other incendiary comments.

Grayson was compelled to apologize for some remarks, most recently for
calling an adviser to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke a "whore."
But Republicans could not force an apology out of him Wednesday.

Gingrey called for a review of Grayson's words, which could have forced
the lawmaker to either apologize or stop speaking. But after the House
went into recess for an hour, Grayson's words were ruled to be in order.

And then he continued to read out the number of people he says have died
in every Republican's district -- which he calculated based on the
statistics of uninsured residents released by the Urban Institute.

"We now return to our regularly scheduled program," Grayson said as he
resumed. "The effort to keep me from doing what I'm doing here has failed.."

The effort to reprimand Grayson comes after Republican Rep. Joe Wilson,
S.C., was formally admonished by his colleagues for shouting "you lie"
at President Obama during his health care address in September.

Deee-licious.

It's important to understand that he lives for those moments. Sociopaths
have an odd way of keeping score, totaling in keeping with their mental
illness.

How many of you does it take to stroke his ego back to top poster with no
argument value.

This post has made you his chimp too.


Normally I wouldn't bother with you but I wanted to try out a different
news reader after installing a new system. I possibly will return to the
old version of Pan again. I don't see what "thunder" sees in the later
versions of Pan. Linux - always newer and more up to date than Windows
(TM) and without the hassle. I can't believe more of you haven't caught
on for free. I threw a newer video card in another box and it was picked
up and working when I booted. I'll connect it to the TV. I did have to
use a Windows XP driver for a Linksys N wireless card. But it's all good.

You keep that Gate's boy in beer money, I understand he also uses much of
it for the good of mankind. So, not such a bad investment if you want
someone else to name your charity.

I bet I hear how well it works. If not I'll read it for myself.

I think I actually might have preferred Pan previous to the 2006 rewrite,
but not enough to pin it. I'm running Debian unstable, and this is the
version that comes with it. It does what I need.

Debian unstable?

Is that an actual name for a linux release?

:)

I'm running Max OS X, 10.6.1 on my macs, and Windows Server
2003/Hybrid/Windows Home Server on my, you guessed it, Windows Home
Server. OS nomenclature is so coooooooool!

Oh, and under VMWare Fusion 3, I've got Windoze Vista running on my
desktop, and under BootCamp, Windoze Vista on my laptop. Isn't life
exciting? :)

I always liked and continued to use Pan-0.14.2-1. I will probably return
to it. I used to use Red Hat until Fedora came out. I switched to
Mandrake, now Mandriva, this is the first free version I've used for a
few years. I got Powerpack versions for a few years. Try out 2010 free
for now.

Debian unstable?

Yup, Debian does it a little different than most of the other distros.
It has stable, testing, and unstable. One of the bitches about Debian,
is it's slow release cycle, but by the time packages get to stable, they
are well tested. Slow release cycle, but rock solid. Unstable is
bleeding edge, and can break, but I've been using it for years, and have
only had a broken system twice, and it was fixed within a couple of
days. I wouldn't use unstable on a production server, but for home use,
no worries.

If I ever get around to building a couple of new computers, I might
give Linux a try and reload all the graphics and video software over
again.

The problem now is overwriting Windows on all the computers - don't
think I really want to do that - in particular in the middle of
several projects I've got going. But I am getting tired of the little
Windows glitches that keep cropping up even with XP Pro.

Plus I'm toying with the idea of getting a Mac for the graphics and
video stuff I've been doing - that's a maybe, but I'm being pushed in
that direction by some of my collegues and friends.

We'll see. :)

Pardon me if I continue to use it. The proximity and his resources
have made a difference in my life and the lives of my family.

Don't know if I'd feel the same if it was Eric Prince and Blackwater.
