Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

Here's the latest Rasmussen for Iowa. If things get any tighter they will merge into one person

27 Clinton 25 Obama 24 Edward

Wow I haven't Woo Woo'd in a long time.

I would think he would want his lovely wife and helpmate by his side. Where is Mrs. H? The Golden Door, The Sonoma Mission Inn, Ojai?

Dog,

"Did anybody mention that Henry Hyde has died? Age 83."

I did. Also wondered how Dr. Jekyll was doing?

Rudy: serial adulturer, frequent transvestite, actually handled 9/11 rather poorly, makes big business deals with terrorist-funding foreigners. Used to be a liberal.

Romney: ran the most corrupt Olympics of modern times, wears sacred underwear, tacitly supports polygamy in southern Utah. Used to be a liberal.

Huckabee: one of the most corrupt governors of a southern state (and that's not easy to achieve), former preacher who couldn't keep his hands off the choir girls or out of the till, used to be fat until he discovered crystal meth.

McCain: confessed to war crimes under torture (so it must have been true.) Got swiftboated by Bush/Rove in 2000, spent the next 7 years kissing their asses. Didn't work. The right-wingsstill hates him. (But Imus loves him so he ain't dead yet.)

So in the battle for the soul of the Republican Party it looks like Hucksterbees are winning.

I think Revisionist Rove is wishing he could change things now.

If Hucksterbee remain strong, he will drive moderate and independents away from the goopers forever. Permanent majority? LMAO.

Bear. I would say well Bill Clinton did it, when he was both a governor and president, or JFK did it, but then I would be like KC or Jamie answering a question with another question. So since I can type and chew gum at the same time I'll answer your question. First your premise is wrong. Like the governors of most states they have a 24/7 protection detail. Like a number of mayor in the larger cities they too have a 24/7 protection detail. They go where the principal goes, they don't have a say in what he does, they don't care what he does. Their only responsibility his to protect him. So it doesn't matter if it is Bill Clinton and the US Secret Service, Rudy and NYCPD, or Arnold and CHIPS, the protection detail stays with the principal. As to hiding the billing. Not sure how that would work, or what would be accomplished by hiding the records. the protection detail has to be paid. Rudy doesn't control the NYCPD, that falls under the NYC Police Commissioner, and it further falls under the person who heads up the detail. Each member of the detail completes their own travel voucher,(consisting of times, hotels, destinations, meals etc), they are then submitted on a individual basis within a short time frame. No one, certainly not me, is condoning extramarital affairs, but that isn't what this is about. And KC, you can't hide a protection detail, they are standing sitting all over the place. Just guessing but I would think Rudy's protection detail consisted of at least 25 people. Again Bear this not something that wasn't known, this is something that just hit the MSM.

Jamie, making fun of someone's death. How nice. Typical Liberal

I see you didn't bother to read the article.

And you have made factual errors in your claims
you remain factless and feckless in your defense

from the article which your refuse to read

The documents, obtained by Politico under New York’s Freedom of Information Law, show that the mayoral costs had nothing to do with the functions of the little-known city offices that defrayed his tabs, including agencies responsible for regulating loft apartments, aiding the disabled and providing lawyers for indigent defendants.

At the time, the mayor’s office refused to explain the accounting to city auditors, citing “security.”

Nash were you friends with, or did you know Ethel and Julius Rosenberg?

Fry
Are you the son of Joe McCarthy

KC,

Duh, so what? If it was thought to be a crime then why didn't the DA investigate? If your answer is well he was the mayor, well then why didn't they go after him on the day he left from being the mayor? There could have been numerous accounts, and hid them under Miscellaneous Repairs, as long as the travel was authorized, or permitted, as long as his protection detail was operating under NYCPD authority, and the city funded the travel and protection, and the travel vouchers were processed it doesn't matter.

Also as soon as I read a report that uses the words could have would have should have, that tells me they are just fishing around. But you on the other hand think this is a big story. i don't

Fry,

Henry Hyde was most famous for leading the attack on Bill Clinton for immorality while calling an affair he had while in his 40s a "youthful indescretion"

The one and only time I went to a dinner where he was the speaker, he could barely stand and stumble through the speech since he was dead drunk.

Sorry and 83 year old man is dead - sure. Good long run, some may have loved him. My sympathies to them.

Care about a first class vicious hypocrite - Nope

it doesn't matter.????

then why did Mayor Bloomberg want the investigation?

kc, you have correctly identified the issue, which is not whether Rudi was diddling Judi, but whether he was playing budget shenanigans.

And Fry, I'm betting that you are talking out of your ass (or BBFF as CB would say if he came around any more), and that you don't know anything about the budgeting process for mayoral security in NYC. I'll admit up front that I don't know anything about the budgeting process in NYC, but I'm willing to bet that overnight trips to protect the mayor while making personal trips to nearby towns to diddle his twinkie aren't figured into the budgeting process since most mayors keep their dicks in their pants and sleep at home when they're in town.

Oh, I forgot to add - Security? My ass. What appears to be the case is that he blew way over his security budget and tried to hide it by costing the trips to other agencies outside the mayor's office.

Craig..... your TM's are getting funnier too......LOL!

fry..... FYI.... I'm supporting Richardson..... I know he probably has a snowball's chance in hell.... but for me the biggest concern for our next president has to be to try to regain this country's standing in the world community.....

John McCain was asked in the debate last night what he'd do to regain this country's reputation..... his answer.... "continue the surge in Iraq"...... oh yeah John..... continue to occupy another country that we illegally invaded under false pretenses...... that'll work.....

what a wacko!

So...how is everyone today???

Hey fry
who is the chairman of the Republican Party these days?

then why did Mayor Bloomberg want the investigation?

Because it was brought to his attention, that is why. He has to have it looked into, even though it has been there for ages. Hope the statues of limitations haven't expired then you'll really be pissed off. I don't expect you to know anything about how investigation work, but they are a FACT FINDING exercise. the key word here is FACTS. I know you are old, but are you sure you were around during the Salem Witch Trials. She is a witch, lets burn her at the stake. You know before you convict you have want to see the evidence. But I forgot you hate, so Rudy is automatically guilty

Gee Fry I thought you never indulged in personal attacks?

and since you failed to read the article once again I see you have no idea what you are talking about.

Another case of our being greeted as liberators. I wonder why we aren't loved over there.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-iraq29nov29,1,1025923.story?coll=la-headlines-world&ctrack=1&cset=true

fry only insists on fiscal responsibility and tranparency when it suits it. When the public official is sloppy at best and corrupt at worst
but is his guy...then it is just a minor detail

Can you imgaine the outrage and name calling if this were a Democrat?

BTW, Fry, Ed Koch (Who I'm sure you will have choice words for) disagrees with your incisive analysis, and I could be wrong, but I bet he has a little better insight into appropriate budgeting and billing in the NYC mayor's office.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/11/29/exnyc-mayor-koch-giulia_n_74647.html

OOOOooooopppppss. I meant to say

...I bet he has a little better insight into appropriate budgeting and billing in the NYC mayor's office THAN YOU.

We (I) really need an editing button. Craig??

RR,

Richardson is the most qualified on the D side.
I like Richardson and as I told this angry crowd yesterday I think the D ticket will be Hillary-Richardson. I am also predicting Richardson will finish 3rd in Iowa. He is currently 3rd in NH.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC2Q3FdpX6I

Thought we could use this today.

Fry

you must have missed this...it is the first post on this thread
Here's the latest Rasmussen for Iowa. If things get any tighter they will merge into one person

27 Clinton 25 Obama 24 Edward

jamie

Corey

Thanks for the earworm..LOL!!

Lusis...

try this
http://www.rottenneighbor.com/

Fry, WADR, I think you're right about Hillary at the top of the Dem Ticket, but think it won't be Richardson as her running mate, although he would be an excellent choice. I see him as holding a cabinet post like Secretary of Stare (if Biden doesn't end up in that post) or bing slated for something like UN Ambassador or Special Envoy to the MIddle East if Biden is SecState. I really don't know who will be the running mate.

Katherine Graham Cracker

Thank you :)

Fry,
Richardson isn't the most qualified dem. The the most qualified. Period. He doesn't want to be veep.

Watch for the Richarson/Hagel ticket to be our next president/veep.

Corey, Annie Lennox and Al Green? Brilliant. Thanks.

Corey

Isn't that from Scrooged with Bill Murray

Thanks, dog!!

Pogo,

Koch was mayor before Dikins, and since he was mayor a number of things have changed. Other than 9-11 and all the changes that brought about, Rudy was also credited for cleaning up the NY mob. He was the US Attorney in NYC.

So I am sure Koch is correct but he is coming from a reference point that we would all love to go back to, unfortunately everything has changed and I am sure so has the mayor's security detail along with anything associated with it, including travel, and how it is process. Use to be the longest line at the airport was at the ticket counter, you could sail through security, no one checked the contents of your carry on luggage. So why would we expect the mayor's travel to stay the same.

Pogo
Does it really matter if he "can." He might be able to figure out away. I kind of like the threat and don't you think it is a Howard Beale type of threat.

Yep, it's from "Scrooged". Just thought we needed some of Reverand Al today. Gotta scoot. Gonna do some happy things for a few hours. Later everyone! BTW , I only thought Dinkins was good because he re-routed the planes during the US Open tennis tournament when he was mayor.

dog,

"PS: I would put Fry to work on the leaves, just on general principle for some past incendiary Limbaugh-channeling. But he would get breaks and snacks!"

damn dog, I love you to.

Wow,

I don't know who pee'd in the CLister's Cheerio's today but we are certainly a fired up bunch.

Fry, whether you like it or not, you are condoning Rudy's infidelity. I have many other reasons to hate him and that would not hit my top 10 so it's a non issue for me.

I know a lot of holier than thou types wouldn't let the issue rest when Clinton was president. I am convinced that if Paula Jones or Monica Lewinsky were super models, Bill Clinton would have been harassed far less than he was over that issue. Rudy seems to do well with his "youthful indiscretions" so he earns the pass...is that it?

With regards to the security issue, I understand what you are saying but does that make it right? I have seen more than one public official employ someone for the express purpose of scoring cocaine and hookers for his group whenever they went out...this person was on his "security" detail. Was it ok for him to use the city's money for that purpose in this case too?

Jamie, making fun of someone's death. How nice. Typical Liberal

Question...why do so many pro life people cheer whenever their government executes people then?

For all of you who want to see some raw video of Republican candidates on the trail, flip flopping or dodging tough questions, here you go...

http://www.democrats.org/page/content/FlipperTV/

condoing the hiding of the infidelity of the Plunger by cooking the books of the city.

Republican Values at Work

And now to add some comic relief to today's discussion, I offer the following questions:

1. Do the numbers of people who prefer Devil Dogs over Twinkies break down along racial lines? How many white folks here would choose a Devil Dog over a Twinkie when price or availability isn't an issue? lol

2. Which potato chip is better...Regular Lays or Ruffles?

These are two questions that hit me on my way to work today and I just need to know the answers...lol

KC, yeah, I agree it's Bealish, but it's an empty threat and it ain't for Congress' benefit anyway, so I guess the fact that he can't do it probably doesn't matter to most folks.

Fry, there is probably a great deal of truth to your comment that a lot has probably changed re: the mayor's security detail since Koch was mayor, but the point is, neither you nor I know diddly about that process, but the Auditor found it to be irregular and Rudi refused to explain it citing a ridiculous "security" privilege. Rudi's problem with this issue is that it looks like he tried to cover the cost of the security detail up for his Hamptons trips, he's trying to avoid the subject, but his 9/11 Tourette's Syndrome isn't getting him out of the issue's shadow.

fry...

Don't taunt the 'nice' kid on the block! Edwards' mistakes are no more foolish than anyone else's...of either stripe. And wouldn't it be nice if our prez - whomever he or she is - did have a bit of leverage over such things!?! Perhaps then we'd get a bit more appropriate action, reaction, movement from Congress....

Fry said giving Judith protection would have been wrong.

Flashback: Judi Nathan Had Her Own Taxpayer-Funded Security Detail In 2001

http://tpmelectioncentral.com/2007/11/flashback_judi_nathan_had_her_own_taxpayerfunded_security_detail_in_2001.php

I'm just sayin'

Bear,
God they'll kill you with all the preservatives they contain. The icing on Devil Dogs taste like plastic, Twinkies are like sponge cake with some sort of cream filling. I can't answer that one, but put me down for Lays potato chips.

Thanks for changing the subject to something important Bear.

I prefer the Devil Dogs - Twinkies taste like sugar and shortening in an air matrix - blech.

Regular Lays, please (unless I'm dipping, and in that case, Ruffles).

DND,

The more I think about it, the more I like your thoughts of a Richardson/ Hagel ticket.

I wonder when politicians will learn that if they are principled in their actions and beliefs that people will still vote for them, even if they don't agree with them politically.

Fry, this is a random question so that I can learn a little bit more about you.

What year did you cast your first vote? Who was your first vote for President cast for?

I shudder to think that my first votes went to Dukakis for President and Lieberman for Senator...

you know Fry, every day I wake up ready to give you the benefit of a new day, every day you post something incredibly stupid like this

"Jamie, making fun of someone's death. How nice. Typical Liberal"

that is so ridiculous it takes away from any and all valid points you may make because I don't bother reading anything else you have to say.

Jeebus and I was going to come over and help rake leaves

PS does the name Rachel Corrie ring a bell?

how about Pavlov?

KC,

The date of that article, New York Post on June 4, 2001:

And what has happen since then? Nadda. Now you can't say that the facts were hidden now can you and what was the outcome? Nadda. In fact if you read the report what does Rudy's people do? They don't denied the story. So you have to ask yourself why, if it was so illegal, why would they not only admit it, but continue the practice. It was out there for the world to see, so how can it now be reported as secretive if it was known back in 2001. You can't have it both ways, it can't on the one hand be hush -hush, and on the other hand being written about in the news papers back in 2001. This is a no nothing story that has already been written about 6 1/2 years ago. But keep trying KC.

ran,

Save your breath I'm not interested in your mindless Liberal BS.

the story is still true. now you don't care because it's six years old.

I see if something happened more than six years ago it doesnt count. Ghoul doesn't deny it.
You are the one who said it was a problem if the city was being billed for her security.
Apparently your hero disagrees and thinks the city should pay for security for his family and his girlfriend. maybe you should be supporting Richardson...

Bear good question. lets see it had to be 1968 Richard M. Nixon.

If true, if illegal why no prosecution? Because there is nothing there KC. I know you wish there was, but there isn't. I do like Richardson, I thought I made that very clear.

which Liberal BS would that be Fry?

What would matter if the protection detail was ordered by Rudy to provide protection to his then paramour.

Fry: that's exactly whay I thought You would say

ha

Fry
just remember you are the one who said it was wrong for the Ghoul to have NYC pay for Nathan's security. That is exactly what he did. But now you are fumphering and trying to pretend you meant if it was illegal it would be wrong.

kc,I thought you might find this article from Time about why Oprah won'thelp Obama interesting.

http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1687526,00.html

Well before it was publicly known he was seeing her, then-married New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani provided a police driver and city car for his mistress Judith Nathan, former senior city officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com.

"She used the PD as her personal taxi service," said one former city official who worked for Giuliani.

and thanks Pogo for the Time article

President is whining about the money. Maybe after the first of the year Congress can follow up by cutting more funds.

Fry Daddy and I have something in common - Alert the media and send in the Lays.

Used to adore Twinkies but the petroleum content finally turned me off.

Apu: silly customer, you cannot hurt a twinkie

Yes, Virginia, I mean Jamie, Bushie is whining about the money - of course his repug buddies tied the bill up so it can't even go to him for the perfunctory veto. Since Congress will be bidding Washington adieu soon for the Christmas recess, I guess Bushco will be figuring out how to move Pentagon funds around to fund the war until Congress sends him a "clean" bill, which I would like to think would happen the day after hell freezes over, but will probably be in mid January to celebrate primary season.

LOL at FD's description of the plastic tasting chocolate icing on Devil Dogs, but it's CHOCOLATE flavored plastic, as oppoed to the WHITE flavored whateverthehell it is in Twinkies. I never knew white was a flavor unil I had my first Twinkie, which came from the first and last bos of them I ever bought,

Craig, if you are coming for the forums bring a variety of clothes. The state is under a winter storm watch already posted for Saturday. It looks like DSM will get rain but a slight wobble of the front and we are in freezing rain or snow.

Dennis K. is even coming in for the forums and will do a personal appearance at one of the downtown churches Saturday. The group putting on the first forum is organizing a march before hand. The rest of the Dem candidates will probably be around as well. I just got an email that Biden will be at Cooney's in Beaverdale Sunday night. I might go just because I like the bar.

Dnd,

I think I read somewhere that Dell was still selling 'puters with XP on them because people were asking for it because Vista was so clunky and weird.

yo soy Horsedoodty!

Speaking of nonsense , or at least I am....here's an example of it. My Dad was looking at my parents checking account statement and he thought my Mom paid for some dental work she had done with my parent's joint checking account and not her own checking account. My Dad accused my Mom of this. However , my Mom told him that the money missing from their checking account was the monthly amount they each take out for spending money. She paid for her dental out of her own money. To illustrate how stupid my Dad was for jumping to conclusions about my Mom , I threw a fake tantrum. I smacked a stack of magazines and said "I WANT SOME ANSWERS!" I told my Mom I wished she wasn't a liar and that her story sounded pretty fishy to me! Of course my Dad got mad and told me to mind my own business! It was just my way of letting my Dad know how stupid I thought he was being. As for tonight's game: I don't like the Packers or the Cowboys. Sue me.

Zoey,

I will echo dnd ... avoid Vista like the plague. Stay with XP or go by an Apple.

Vista seizes up and can't handle streaming video among more than a few other insanities that make it a piece of garbage.

I'm not such a big fan of the "designer" pizzas like Wolfgang Puck's and the California Pizza Kitchen. But hey, I'm not picky, especially when I'm hungry...

You know I had a girl friend a few years ago who was Mormon. She often talked about her husband's garment but never said anything about wearing one herself. I wonder if it might be optional for the women. It would make sense the women wouldn't need to wear them after they are married but those men, well you know, they like to stray, and the garment would be a worse turnoff than a wedding ring if they got lucky. That is, unless they happened to pick up another Mormon.

The Christian League(I think that was the name) lamented in 1880 that not one Christian had been elected President, must have been nice to not have religion fog a Presidential campaign.

they got their wish that year with the election of the Preacher President Garfield, unfortunately that didn't last long

Huckabee's ad is creepy

If you go to the Control Panel
and click on Sounds you will get a tabbed window that will allow you to adjust the volume for different applications

especially in Caesar Salad

W.r.t. anchovies, two words: bagna cauda.

and a great name for a chartered accountant that would prefer to be a lion tamer

I'm not saying I hate Favre. I respect him as a player the same way as I respected Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. I give credit where credit is due. Those guys have done some amazing things on the football field and basketball court. But , I'm not (or wasn't) a fan of their teams.

bagna cauda mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'd like to remind everybody that anchovies are high in omega-3 fatty acids and extremely low in environmental mercury. Good for you and tastes good too!

KO giving hell to Rudy,rehashing today's Rudy news.
Good riddance to that goddam Henry Hyde. That bastard bad-mouthed Bill Clinton for an indiscretion , and he himself was bedding a young mother of children ( Cherie Snodgrass) a whole generation before that. And according to the mother, Hyde told her he WAS SINGLE.
And yet the repuggs threw HIM at Clinton!
Hyde was 41 when he was messing around, sneaking around like a f'in rat...what a scumbag...not cuz of his infidelity...we're adults here and we know that goes on all the time, but to criticize a President for it when you yourself are an adulterer...you get my eternal damnation on your rotting corpse!

"The former Cherie Snodgrass told her local paper, the San Antonio Express-News, that Hyde had lied at the start of the affair, claiming he was single. When Hyde’s wife learned of the affair, Hyde dumped the woman."

Two Americas or One? Edwards is answering Romney's statement of last night.

Dex -- I loved Edwards' answer to Romney...."What planet are you living on?" John was really good on Olberman.

Chicago Pizza.... Just got back from some traveling and Chicago.... Deep Dish!

So any idea what is on the Huckster?

I normally don't watch KO. The News Hour on PBS is my preference. But I did catch Edwards on KO tonight. I thought he did really well. He seems genuine and honest.

Ping,
STAY XP! For at least a year, or a couple revs of Vista. Trust me, Vista has problems.

Bear: did you try the master volume in Control Panel?

Sorry...for some reason my dog and cat were both puking...not fun...

the volume is turned up on everything everywhere. I even tried to reset the speakers, thinking the fuse in them was blown but im not sure what I can test them on...

sorry, i just noticed your previous post...

what is the easiest way to find a driver to reinstall?

lol,

all of my techie geeks are asleep or offline right now...

yo soy Horsedooty!

"KO giving hell to Rudy,rehashing today's Rudy news."

Dex, thanks for reminding me. The power went out earlier, a-gain. Living here is like living in a 3rd world country & a real challenge. My few years in Tejas has been filled with more cr** than the total of my life up till now. Anyhow, I just watched it.

Damn, I surely do like Edwards. When he says it's the people's government, I say YES!

Guiliani is soooo slimy! No wonder we don't see or hear his kids.

Bear,

find the motherboard disk or the disk that has the driver on it.

find the Device Manager remove the driver restart the computer and maybe the computer will install it for you if not use the disk to load the driver in the Device Manager.

Bear, sndvol32.exe controls volume.

Go to Microsoft to get the info.

I do believe all M$N stuff installs itself. I save them to Program files.

I had to take my computer back to factory-setting and reinstall the drivers and do everything else...so take heart, if I can do it ANYONE can!
I never even had a computer until 2000.
Only advice I have is make sure you have all your disks handy, or don't even start the process.
And now my brownies are cool enough to ravage! Gawd, I LOVE brownies fresh out of the oven!
