  1. Isn't he around 35? To be good for that long, he isn't partying the night away (at least during the season). He'll be gone in the off season.
  2. He was himself. It was between TOS, and Star Trek I /TJ Hooker. Lean times for Denny Craine. That was when the syndication was starting to make TOS popular. Hard to believe he is like 77 or 78.
  3. Those that do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. You do not tax and spend your way out of a recession.
  4. Catholic Charities moved out of SF because the City and County (one in the same) told them they must make available medical insurance to domestic partnersof employees.
  5. Obama- new ideas???? He as out New Dealed FDR already. He is doing what FDR did, which extended the Great Depression for the whole decade. Again, the only thing that got us out of it was WWII. My father told me about it. He was born in 1930 and they had to move 13 times (all in Buffalo). My grandfather kept getting laid off every 6 months or so.
  6. I know. I was too. I can't remember who, but I think it was James Woods, who said when asked his opinion on some political topic (this is paraphrased): "Why do you want my opinion, or any other actor's? We're only good at memorizing and repeating words that other people wrote. Most of us are dumb as a box of rocks."
  7. Wrong. If he is successful in implementing his policies, we will be be in a Depression. If he fails in implementing them, the economy will recover.
  8. You forgot Leslie Neilsen, Lorne Greene, Michael J. Fox, almost everybody that was on SCTV, William Shatner (I remember him doing Loblaws commercials on Toronto TV after Star Trek: TOS).
  9. One Big Ass Mistake America
  10. Jimmy Carter used Jimmy when he got inaugurated, the Messiah used all three of his names when he got sainted. Same thing. I love how Mark Levin uses Milhouse when talking about the Messiah.
  11. Armstrong and Getty on 910. I heard that today too. They are also simulcast on a TV station out of Santa Rosa.
  12. You think Ithaca is a nice place.
  13. Blzrul is just emulationg one of her idols. This sound familair? Chuck.. .Stand up!
  14. Sorry. Evans died, but Novak isn't doing too well with his brain tumor.
  15. I KNOW that you're just an ASS.
  16. Iraq was doing their nuclear research in Libya. Kadaffi told us so when he came clean. Their biological stockpile is in Damascus Syria right now. The bugs could be put in the back of one ban. He and others did not out Valerie Plame. She did it herself. The late Robert Novak said he was the one that told a lot of people.
  17. No. What was he corrupt about? Clinton was corrupt. Read other stuff than the pablum the main stream medium puts out.
  18. You libs laugh at that like it was a joke. If he would have choked to death, Cheney would have been president, which I gather from your vitriol against him would have been your worst nightmare.
  19. I was in molecular biology, but now I do environmental due-diligence. Cloning a gene is actually inserting it in a circle of DNA (the circles are called plasmids), then getting it into a bacteria so the gene can be expressed, or get more copies (by growing the bacteria). Originally, you took cells, treated them with certain solutions and the plasmids, heat shocked them for a few minutes , let them grow for an hour and then plate them. With electroporation (started being done about 10 years ago or so if I remember right), you treat the cells with a solution, put them in a little disposable chamber with the DNA. Push a button (zap the cells), and plate the cells. There are controllers that can vary the length of charge, decay rate and other parameters. If there is too much salt in the solutions, it arcs and makes a little pop and doesn't work. Apoptosis is what gets rid of the webbing between your toes and fingers before you are born. When it doesn't work, you are born with webbed feet (supposedly Dan Akroyd was). Amplifying DNA (using PCR) is pretty easy too.
  20. Wishful thinking. The rats are already jumping ship.
  21. This is known as electroporation. I have used it with bacteria. Nice pop and flash if it arcs when you do it. Apoptosis is the process that an organism uses to get rid of damaged cells.
  22. The Messiah can't even put two sentences together without inserting an "uh". He had to use a teleprompter to introduce a high level nominee the other day. God, this guy can't say anything that wasn't written for him. Why do you think he turned down the town hall style of debates that McCain offered him.
  23. These idiots cant get out of their own way. Hillary meets with the Russian Foreign Minister today in Geneva. She gave him a "push button" (I guess like the button for office supplies). This was to symbolize the resetting of relations between the US and them. She said the button said reset in Russian. The Foreign Minister said "No. It actually says overpay." :lol: Couldn't they ask someone in the State Department that knows Russian, to get the correct word?
  24. Yes. I read he was diving in a swimming pool in college and hit the bottom. Became a parapelegic.
  25. Gupta withdraws from consideration Is his next choice Dr. Dean Edell? Dr. Phil? Dr. Laura?
