Blog annoucement alert … blog announcement alert

A couple of blogkeeping notes:

– Some of you may have seen the new look and functionality of other AJC blogs, such as Jim Galloway’s Political Insider blog. Sometime in the next few weeks, I’m told, my blog will migrate to the new system as well. (The change is being made to accommodate new software that works better on mobile platforms such as I-Pads, Kindles, etc.)

That means you’ll have a brand new URL to bookmark (all the previous blogs and comments will still be available in archives). It also means that — prepare yourselves — commenters will be required to register in order to post at the new blog. As you can see on Jim’s blog, that doesn’t mean that you have to post under your real identity, but you will have to register an identity to post. I’ll let you know more as I learn more.

– On Monday, Feb. 25, I’ll be delivering what has become my annual “Real State of the Union” speech, followed by Q&A, at Seven Stages Theater in Little Five Points. (Information here). It’s free, and starts at 7 p.m.

However, we usually have a full house, so if you’re interested in coming, you should get tickets ahead of time. The event is sponsored by Women’s Action for New Directions, or WAND, and will also feature the witticisms of my friend Andisheh Nouraee, co-author of “Americapedia: Taking the Dumb Out of Freedom.”

Well, I might of knowed this was coming. I wonder if they’ll show my real first name, Elbert, after I register or if I’ll just show up as Redneck Convert.

Anyhow, looks like I’ll be taking a week of vacation I don’t want to take. I got a call from Mabel in accounting down at the warehouse a few minutes ago. She told me I had too many vacation days on the books and since the co. has to carry them as debts on the books according to accounting I need to use some days. That’s what you get when you let a bunch of dumb-a$$ accountants into your place. I asked her to ask the boss if I could wait to take the days for a few months and she called later to tell me the boss said I had to take the days soon and besides I ought to be well rested already, whatever that means.

I don’t know what I’ll do with myself while I’m off. It’s too cold to fish and besides Jim Earl can’t get off from work and my other buddy Joe Bill don’t have no money after the hospitle sued him for a unpaid bill from him being there about three weeks after he fell off of the roof onto his head. I might could get in touch with Doggone to see if I could go watch waterfalls with her, but it don’t sound like much fun. I mean you walk for miles trying not to step in the poo of 10 dogs and then you get there and say, “Well, they were right. That water is falling. You can see it plain as day.”

Anyhow, I’m kinda double-bummed. I got to register to post on Bookman’s blog and I got to take vacation days I don’t want to take.

Have a good night everybody.

I had heard about the German one, too.

Several years back at school we had a set of twins from Kazakhstan. Their mother was Kazakh and the father was Bielorussian. One twin was blonde, blue-eyed and classically Slavic, The other was without a doubt a Central Asian in all appearance. Apart, you’d never consider they were related. Up next to each other, it was amazing just how closely they resembled each other…bizarre…

You are SO far behind on that. How do you think the conversation started? And yes, they are quadruplets What makes them unique is that they are 2 sets of twins.

Genetic quads would be born and there would only be one after birth. Most quads are born and there are 4. In this case, there were only 2

Doggone — “Most quads are born and there are 4.”

“Most” quads being a pretty small set, to be fair.

I used to remember the odds; IIRC the formula’s something like 1 in 86^n-1 where n = the number of kids in the ‘litter,’ so to speak.

So twins happen roughly 1 in 86 births
Triplets roughly 1 in 86^2
Quads roughly 1 in 86^3
and so on

No to go farther afield, but I seem to recall that the Dionne quintuplets were two pairs of twins, with the fifth possibly having been a twin to a sixth, spontaneously miscarried sibling.

Another Tea Party group is offering a $10,000 prize to the grassroots tea party supporter who can come up with the plan to “takeover the Republican party.”

Top dogs like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are back in the limelight too. After a long hibernation and an ousting from Fox News, self-proclaimed “mama grizzly” Palin will be a featured speaker again at CPAC this year. Meanwhile, Beck says the GOP establishment is on the verge of becoming the Whig Party. “I am sure that the Republicans will become less and less relevant as every day that goes by,” he said to Bill O”Reilly. “They’re becoming – if they’re not already – the Whig Party.”

“Elected Officials Are Fundamentally Dishonest”

“To the Editor:

This letter was forwarded to Barack Obama, John Boehner, Chris Murphy, Dick Blumenthal, Elizabeth Esty, and Harry Reid

I live in Sandy Hook, CT. My family and close friends weren’t harmed on December 14. That day impacted 26 families with an indescribable, staggering pain and anguish. For most of Sandy Hook, it merely affected us with an inescapable intensity of sadness and grief.

Gun control has long been a focus of many in this country. Though I’m not knowledgeable of all the nuances of the Second Amendment, based on the Founding Fathers’ circumstances, it had far more to do with enabling the citizenry to protect themselves against tyrannical government than against local psychopaths. It is about providing a balanced firepower so when King George’s successor came knocking on your door, you could fight back. Government today is no less inclined to abuse its authority than it was then. Based on the absurd and ongoing power grab that is present day Washington, it’s as threatening as ever.

That so many of you view the NRA with its resistance to further restrictions on firearms as intransigent lunatics has far more to do with how you conduct yourselves in office than it does with the NRA’s actions.

You in public office are fundamentally dishonest people. You lead lives of deception at every turn, structuring your lives as comfortably as you can while governing with an indifference and arrogance that is absolutely maddening. When the country is reeling from financial disaster, you waste a trillion dollars on a health care bill we can’t afford and you’ve never read. You claim it’s critical because health care costs are killing this country… no they’re not, you are! You are killing this country. You endorse the ongoing slaughter of millions of unborn children and whine when terrorists are water boarded. You can’t lecture us right in Newtown High School about not doing enough to keep our children safe, while simultaneously slaughtering the unborn. You fabricate the intense, media laden drama of the fiscal cliff and lack the courage to do anything about truly reforming the obscene gluttony of government. You know you’ll be out of office before the bill comes due… you don’t care and have no integrity nor honor.

You lie whenever and wherever you need to to move forth your agenda. Were you able, you would purge the US of guns… every last gun in the country, if you could. So please forgive Wayne LaPierre and those of us who don’t trust you as far as we can spit. You’re a dishonest lot, motivated by a distorted worldview. If mass murder prevention were truly your goal, you would welcome armed security wherever needed. It is outrageous that we protect our money with far more firepower than we protect our children.

I have never owned a gun, nor wanted to as intensely as right now. You’ll stop restricting guns when only you have them.

Been to 4 KISS concerts (one of them on NEW Year’s Eve.) and had a blast at all of ‘em. They will give you your money’s worth for a live show. The last one was at The Soundstage downtown and my ears rang for a week. I seriously thought I had permanent hearing damage.

“All it takes is at least two different email addresses and access to two different IP addresses, hell, I can post using three different IP addresses and I ain’t trying to pull a fast one.”

It’s two different email addresses and two different computers. Some people get a different IP address each time they log on. Since Mister Bookman’s bloggers are probably not hacking away at the AJC, they probably don’t find it too important to monitor registration id

“Hill was sentenced to death for the 1990 beating death of fellow inmate Joseph Handspike. Authorities say he used a board studded with nails to bludgeon Handspike while he slept and other prisoners pleaded with Hill to stop. At the time Hill was already serving a life sentence for murder in the 1986 slaying of his girlfriend, Myra Wright, who had been shot 11 times.”

Bernard Baruch’s dad. who was himself a prominent physician after the Wa-uh in New York was, well, a die hard Rebel. If a band struck up “Dixie,” Dr. Baruch would jump up and give the Rebel yell, much to the chagrin of the family. A man of usual reserve and dignity, Dr. Baruch nevertheless would let loose with the piercing yell even in the Metropolitan Opera House.

Well, I don’t think Bookman sweats the small stuff like e-mail addresses and blog monikers. He spends his time looking over our shoulder as we type and reading our mind. If you’ve been tempted to use harsh words toward another blogger the chances are it was Bookman in your head that made you change your mind. What I want to know is, will any of this change when we do the new blog thingie? For me, personally, it would be nice if he was shut out. I get awful tired of wearing all my clothes when I’m ready to blog.

I believe that the AJC is making a BIG, BIG mistake by going to this new format of signing in to blog.

Blogging should be as easy and painless as possible. This new system will cause a marked decrease in the number of people who blog on this newspaper.

We urge the Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) to re-think this idea and make blogging on the paper as easy and simple as possible.

Bloggers and writers comments provide invaluable feedback to the newspaper.

OHIO lady votes six times, imagine that !!
Authorities also are investigating if she voted in the names of four other people, too, for a total of six votes in the 2012 presidential election.

“I’ll fight it for Mr. Obama and for Mr. Obama’s right to sit as president of the United States,” Richardson vowed when asked about the voter fraud investigation that is now under way.

Richardson is one of 19 people suspected of illegal voting by the Hamilton County Board of Elections in the last election.
[...]
“It appears she not only attempted to vote more than once, but was actually successful at it and having those additional votes counted,” Ohio Secretary of State John Husted, who is in charge of the state’s elections, told Fox News.

“She appears to have used her position as a poll worker to cover her tracks. That would be someone who is an official in the elections process, using that position to commit a fraud. That is especially troubling to me, as the chief elections officer of the state, because it is my responsibility to make sure the system runs effectively, that it has integrity. When I find issues like this, I know that it undermines voter confidence in our elections, and we must pursue it.”

Three other absentee ballots in the names of different people were submitted to the Board of Elections from Richardson’s address on Nov. 1. Officials say the handwriting on those ballots is similar and that they were all received together, on the same day that Richardson’s absentee ballot arrived at the office. Richardson maintains that some of the other voters live at her house.
