Glad to announce that after almost 24 hours in intensive care my Univac has been revived and,hopefully ready for more abuse.My tech guy had to take the machine home with him after an hour yesterday because he said having 2 or 3 viruses was normal,mine had 17.Also,with no browsers open,most computers are running 50-60 programs.Mine has 126.It took till 3:30 this morning to remove all the viruses and make it perform like it should.He brought it back today and DW answered the door while I was curled up in the fetal position,sucking my thumb and whimpering softly.
I had a bunch of things bookmarked yesterday and,of course,much has been posted since then.I’ll try to pick some relevant stuff for you.
A special thanks to Mindful and CtH for filling in.I always enjoy what they post because of the professional style.

Debate crowd loudly laughs at “War Against Women” charge by female Dem challenger (#NY23)
When a candidate loses credibility, it’s hard to regain.
At the candidate debate tonight, that lost credibility was evidenced when Robertson accused Reed of being part of the War Against Women. She actually used the phrase “you’re part of the War against Women.”
The crowd laughed so hard, Robertson had to ask for more time.
This video clip is being circulated and who knows, may go viral.

Connecticut Elementary Schools Cancel Halloween Over Fears It Could Offend People…
The principals at Ruth Chaffee Elementary and Anna Reynolds Elementary say leave the costumes at home.
That means 8-year-old Alyssa Montano can’t bring her pointed hat and broom to the classroom.
“What did you think when you found out you can’t celebrate Halloween at school?” we asked.
“It was stupid and weird because they shouldn’t take it away from other people,” said Alyssa.

The Clintons Try to Rewrite the Lewinsky Story
Clintons are preparing the 2016 landscape by rewriting the whole story, as The Wall Street Journal reported today.
Monica should get angry at the people who used her (President Clinton) and then tried to destroy her (Hillary Clinton & the Clinton team).
Let’s not forget that President Clinton was impeached for obstruction of justice and lying under oath, and he paid heavy fines for his reckless behavior. In the end, he lost his Arkansas law license.
Its a sad truth this despicable whoremonger and his power-hungry wife expect to waltz to the presidency in two years’ time.

Right to porn? Prisoner sues state for banning pornography in prison, cites constitutional rights
Dwight Pink Jr., who is currently serving 56 years in prison for a 1998 murder, sued the state of Connecticut in July for violating his constitutional rights by banning pornography in prisons, according to the Associated Press.
Much to his dismay, the ban bars 44-year-old Pink from looking at the art book “The Atlas of Foreshortening,” which features nude models.
With a name like that,I can see why he’s a murderer.

Rosie O’Donnell Ejected from World Series Game
Barred From MLB Parks
Seven people were treated for minor injuries and nineteen others treated for severe nausea after Ms. O’Donnell stood up during the 7th inning stretch, turned, opened for coat and flashed the crowd seated behind her box seat. A loud gasp, then screams came from behind the third base dugout as people enjoyed the break in action.
Visiting pitcher, Juan Greenberg of the San Fran Giants told us “Hell, I was about to climb up in the stands and throw the bitch out myself for thumping peanuts at me in the Bull Pen and screaming that Madonna can throw harder then I can! That’s when I heard screams from the crowd.”

STUDY: ILLEGAL NON-CITIZEN VOTES COULD SWAY U.S. ELECTIONS
” alt=”” />
<img src="
According to the author’s preview published Friday, more than 14 percent of non-citizens in 2008 and 2010 “indicated” they were registered to vote and some did.
“Our best guess, based upon extrapolations from the portion of the sample with a verified vote, is that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of non-citizens voted in 2010,” wrote Richman and Earnest.
They note that non-citizens tend to be Democratic voters and that in their 2008 sample, 80 percent of non-citizens cast ballots for Obama. Given that, they conclude that non-citizen participation “was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections.”
this is not exactly a revelation to anyone paying attention.

I’m a-gonna try this one more time. Pete: My professional observer’s observation is, you need to re-learn how to put images in comments.
You no longer need to add those <img src=” and “alt=”” /> parts anymore. Just paste the URL alone, and WordPress will add all the image tag gobbledygook (sorry, technical term). And just to be super-clear, the URL is just the bit that starts with http:// (usually) and ends in .jpg (usually) or .png or .gif. (Not just Pete, lurkers: apparently, any users can add images to comments now this way.)
However, I would presume you still have to use the full image tag gobbledygook in the main post itself. So, sum total, did this change make it easier for bloggers, or twice as hard, ’cause you have to remember two techniques? 😯
