Just curious - why do you torture yourself with this drivel?



Good question.

Shhhhh, that don't count.


Did anyone happen to be watching the RNC last night on MSNBC and catch that
poor excuse for a "journalist", Keith Olbermann holding back the crocodile
tears as he "apologized" for MSNBC's real-time broadcast of the RNC's video
tribute to 9/11?

He determined, unilaterally, that it was totally inappropriate for the RNC
to run the video and apologized to the viewers.

Mind you now .... this was not his regular "Countdown" show where he
regularly blasts away at Bush, Cheney and all things Republican. He was
supposed to be the anchor for the news coverage of the RNC.

What has happened to responsible reporting? Tonight, on his Countdown
show, that other left wing nutcase, Rachel Maddow, is sitting in for
Olbermann (she says he needed a well deserved day off). Maddow started
the show by accusing the RNC of deliberately timing the presentations at the
convention so there was no time in between them for political analysis, by
people like her, to dissect and provide their commentary/analysis. So, she
commenced to doing so tonight. Changed the channel. Too much.

Olbermann was whining about that last night. Something about the evil
ones not allowing enough time for him to "comment" between speeches.
I was flipping channels because some networks decided their talking
heads' comments were more important than specific convention speakers.
I found C-Span covered every speaker. Some weren't worth listening
to, but C-Span provide the freedom to choose for yourself.
I happened to be back at MSNBC when Rudy was talking, and he
apparently went over his scheduled time.
Olbermann's voice actually interrupted into his speech, as if he was
going to pre-empt it, but somebody must have pulled him off the mic.
Olbermann talks so much about O'Reilly that I just started watching
O'Reilly. Cut out the middleman so to speak.
I can hardly tolerate MSNBC any more unless they have some sensible
people in the mix.
Lots of bona fide nutcases there.
Every network for the days leading up to Palin's convention speech
constantly beat on McCain's judgement in picking her.
Not a peep since then, and no admission they had been entirely wrong.
Not a peep.
Oh, I heard Bay Buchanan accuse Campbell Brown of it, but Brown
arrogantly brushed her off.
I can't believe these jomocos have me agreeing with anything Bay says,
and watching O'Reilly, but they've done it.

Obermann just sets off my "sissy" meter.. I can't stand guys like
that. And of course, he lies as much as our friend Wafa, so he is
pretty much useless..

In MA, no special license is required for vehicles with less than a 15
passenger capacity. Regular driver's license in good standing is all you
need. I was really surprised at that, given the fact that everything else
in the world is regulated here. I guess they just haven't got around to
changing the requirements.

There are some exceptions. For example, if you transport kids to school on
a regular schedule, you need a special license. However, you *can*
transport them if it's not on a regular, repeated schedule. You also need
special permits to go into Boston, but I have no desire to do airport runs.

Obviously though, you have to register the limo with Livery tags and have
additional insurance to cover the passengers.
That's what my insurance company is looking into right now. If the
insurance is ridiculously expensive, I'll forget the whole idea and just use
the limo for personal, family, friends, not-for-hire use.

Walter Cronkite spends his summers in Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard.
He keeps his sailboat, Wyntje, docked in front of his fairly modest
house, modest by Edgartown standards anyway. It's not uncommon to see
him sailing through the harbor on a nice day.

If I ever go over there again, I'll wave to him. Been to Oak Bluffs a few
times, but it's a zoo during the summer.
Right now would be an ideal time to visit the Vineyard. It's like someone
shut a boating switch off Labor Day weekend.
Even Kingman Yacht Center is quiet.

I love this time of year and it's when I spend the most time on the boat.
Nobody around, quiet and relaxing.
This weekend might be a little exciting though with the storm blowing
through. I'll be heading down there tomorrow morning, double up the lines
and hunker down for the blow. The boat is in a protected area in what is
called the "Back Basin", but it still gets a bit windy and the boats move
around a bit. I might grab a mooring out front, just for the heck of it,
unless it is blowing too hard by the time I get there. It's sometimes
difficult to get the bow up to the mooring buoy, then run down on the deck
and grab the line by yourself. We'll see.

You are giving me some marketing ideas.

Trick the thing out ..... hydraulic suspension .... custom paint job .... do
something with the engine, exhaust, etc.

Hmmmm.....
