ReplyDeleteI can try to tweak things a bit more tomorrow. I'm getting tired now and I'm afraid I'll really get it FUBAR if I keep going now. LOL
Oy. I tried Wordpress before using Blogger. It seemed really convoluted and unnecessarily difficult to me... but that was a long time ago. If you want to go that way I'll try to help.
ReplyDeleteme too and thanks so much may the GOD of Israel bless you forever
ReplyDeleteOK if you load the whole page now there are links there for comments and then if you click that link it opens the comments with the individual post on top

ReplyDeleteCopts in the North Sinai border town of Rafah have started leaving
ReplyDeletetheir homes after receiving an ultimatum from Islamists to leave "within
48 hours" or be killed. According to confirmed reports 9 Coptic
families have left the town. The remaining 23 Coptic families are still
there, waiting to leave. "it is difficult for us to leave as most of us
are shop-owners and have property, so it is not easy just to leave
everything and go," said one Copt who is still with his family in Rafah.
The Copts are all confined to their homes, afraid to venture out.
However, two days ago. masked men on motorcycles sprayed Coptic stores with bullets, but no one was hurt.
The
nine Coptic families who left Rafah were government employees and the
Governor of North Sinai offered to transfer them to neighboring Sinai
Province capital, Al-Arish, to take posts there instead.
About
three weeks ago a Coptic shop owner received a hand-written threat that
"all Christians should leave Rafah within 48 hours, otherwise they will
be killed." Copts reported these threats to security but were told not
to take the threats "earnestly," because threats were during the time of
the YouTube clip mocking Mohammad. "We thought the writers of these
threats were just being vindictive against the Copts since it was
claimed that a US Copt is responsible for it [the film]," said a Copts
resident of Rafah.
Coptic families went with church
representatives and met with the Governor of North Sinai asking for
protection, he promised none, but just transferred nine government
employees to work in Al-Arish.
The Coptic Church issued a
statement this afternoon, after a meeting of the Holy Synod, signed by
acting Patriarch Anba Pachomios, condemning the forced displacement of
the Copts from Rafah, demanding that the "responsible state agencies
address those that are trying to undermine the state authority and show
it unable to protect its citizens."

The US Embassy in Cairo issued a terrorist threat warning on Friday for American citizens living in Egypt.
ReplyDeleteThe diplomatic mission stated on its website that it has “credible information suggesting terrorist interest in targeting US female missionaries in Egypt.”
The embassy urged US citizens to “exercise vigilance, taking necessary precautions to maintain their personal security.” Americans in Egypt were also advised to maintain valid travel documents and to regularly monitor the US Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs website, which lists updated travel warnings and alerts.
On August 4, the US issued a travel warning to Americans to “take precautions in travel to the Sinai.” It warned that “overland travel from Israel to the Sinai in particular is strongly discouraged.” That warning came soon after Israel urged its citizens to get out of the Sinai. The next day, Sinai terrorists killed 16 Egyptian border guards in an assault at the Egypt-Gaza-Israel border. http://www.timesofisrael.com/us-embassy-issue-terror-warning-for-americans-living-in-egypt/

ReplyDeleteYou get the point. Obama is not in

of corporate power. They are corporate employees. Their personal
narratives, their promises, their rhetoric and their idiosyncrasies are
meaningless. And that, perhaps, is why the cost of the two presidential

state does not produce a product that is different. It produces brands
that are different. And brands cost a lot of money to sell.

was that a comment from the article??
ReplyDeleteMost scholarly books we read for the information or
ReplyDeleteinsight they contain. But some we return to simply for the pleasure of
the author's company. For instance, I pick up Northrop Frye's Anatomy of Criticism
from time to time, just to refresh myself with its elegance and
clarity. Jane Aiken Hodge's biography of novelist Georgette Heyer,
another favorite, seems to me a model of delicacy, insight, and wit. I
feel almost learned every time I dip into Marcia Colish's Medieval Foundations of the Western Intellectual Tradition or the historical essays of Hugh Trevor-Roper.
In this elite company I place Richard Hofstadter's wide-ranging cultural history, Anti-Intellectualism in American Life,
recipient of the 1964 Pulitzer Prize for history. Its great theme --
our nation's longstanding "resentment and suspicion of the life of the
mind and of those who are considered to represent it" -- allows the late
Columbia professor to range from the Puritans and the Founding Fathers
to the McCarthy hearings, even touching briefly on the early days of the
Kennedy administration. But given its publication date, the book
doesn't treat the later 1960s, the heyday of student activism and
hippiedom, both of which were to appall Hofstadter, an old-time lefty,
because of their irrationality, anarchical antics, and unfocused
utopianism. Sadly, this productive, and sometimes polemical, historian
-- his other work includes The American Political Tradition (1948) and the famous title essay of The Paranoid Style in American Politics (1964) -- died at age fifty-four, from leukemia, in 1970.
Hofstadter's urbane and occasionally ironic style, coupled with a lively, invigorating diction, makes Anti-Intellectualism in American Life
a provocation and a delight: "I have no desire to encourage the
self-pity to which intellectuals are sometimes prone by suggesting that
they have been vessels of pure virtue set down in Babylon." In fact, he
merely hopes to "trace some of the social movements in our history in
which intellect has been dissevered from its co-ordinate place among the
human virtues and assigned the position of a special kind of vice."
"our nation's longstanding "resentment and suspicion of the life of the
mind and of those who are considered to represent it"
true.
however smart is NEVER enough.....

An influential Republican lawmaker, Representative Kay Granger of
ReplyDeleteTexas, immediately announced that she would use her position as
chairwoman of the House appropriations subcommittee overseeing foreign
aid to block the distribution of the money. She said the American
relationship with Egypt “has never been under more scrutiny” than it is
in the wake of the election of President Mohamed Morsi, a former leader
of the Muslim Brotherhood.
“I am not convinced of the urgent need for this assistance and I
cannot support it at this time,” Ms. Granger said in a statement that
her office issued even before the administration announced the package.

why does it do that to the text argggggggggggggggg
ReplyDeleteI'm playing around with the cut and paste feature here.
ReplyDeleteThe Obama administration notified Congress on Friday that it would provide Egypt’s new government an emergency cash infusion of $450 million, but the aid immediately encountered resistance from a prominent lawmaker wary of foreign aid and Egypt’s new course under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Hmmm. Maybe I need more text. Trying to figure out the reformatting thing.

ReplyDeleteThe Obama administration notified Congress on Friday that it would provide Egypt’s new government an emergency cash infusion of $450 million, but the aid immediately encountered resistance from a prominent lawmaker wary of foreign aid and Egypt’s new course under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood.
ReplyDeleteThe aid is part of the $1 billion in assistance that the Obama administration has pledged to Egypt to bolster its transition to democracy after the overthrow last year of the former president, Hosni Mubarak. Its fate, however, was clouded by concerns over the new government’s policies and, more recently, the protests that damaged the American Embassy in Cairo.
The United States Agency for International Development notified Congress of the cash infusion on Friday morning during the pre-election recess, promptly igniting a smoldering debate over foreign aid and the administration’s handling of crises in the Islamic world.

ReplyDeleteIn New York for the United Nations General Assembly, Georgian
ReplyDeletePresident Mikheil Saakashvili strides down the street at a brisk pace,
his security details hustling to keep up, a man with a lot on his mind.
On Monday his country
holds crucial parliamentary elections. The outcome will affect not only
parliament but the structure of political power in Georgia, and the role
of the presidency, almost nine years after the Rose Revolution brought
Saakashvili to power.
Until recently, the
ruling party, the United National Movement, has controlled much of
political life in this country of 4.5 million people. Georgia has thrown
off the shackles of its Soviet past. There are new, gleaming
skyscrapers. According to U.S. and European officials, the Georgian
government has made progress in the fight against corruption and has
continued economic reform.
But critics, who have
coalesced into the "Georgian Dream" alliance led by billionaire
businessman Bidzina Ivanishvili, say reform is only skin-deep, charging
that Saakashvili is pulling all the levers of Soviet-style
"administrative measures." They have raised concerns about a level
playing field for the opposition during this election, alleging
harassment and limitations on their access to the media.
In an interview with CNN, however, Saakashvili claimed that he can guarantee that the elections will be free and fair.
"Not only I can guarantee
that," he said, but "the international community says that they will be
competitive, free and fair. That's what the preliminary reports of
international organizations have clearly said."

An influential Republican lawmaker, Representative Kay Granger of Texas, immediately announced that she would use her position as chairwoman of the House appropriations subcommittee overseeing foreign aid to block the distribution of the money. She said the American relationship with Egypt “has never been under more scrutiny” than it is in the wake of the election of President Mohamed Morsi, a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.
ReplyDelete“I am not convinced of the urgent need for this assistance and I cannot support it at this time,” Ms. Granger said in a statement that her office issued even before the administration announced the package.
This might be the ticket.... after I pasted the text, I "backed up" the cursor to the top to make sure it all was there. It looks like that might 'set' the formatting and keep it from funkulating. Maybe.
ReplyDeletemy kingdom for some vodka.

i do not even see a thing that says DESIGN
ReplyDeleteI'll have to go to one of my sites and walk through it. There's a spot to specify how the posts are 'signed', to show the time and date of posting, and - supposedly - the comment function.
ReplyDeleteyah I was in there last night it does not change shit
ReplyDeleteif you have it on yours I have no clue how you did it
there is nothing that says design but there is a thing that says LAYOUT
Oy. I see it when I'm logged in as you but the corner banner link supersedes it. Oy.
ReplyDeleteIf you go into SETTINGS there is a thing there POSTS and COMMENTS I was not able to alter anything with any of it
ReplyDeleteI was there too, but that's not the same. According to Blogger "Help" you need to access the Design feature.
ReplyDeletethere is no fucking DESIGN feature
ReplyDeleteI see it in the top right corner of the home page. NOT in the dashboard, on the blog's home page.
ReplyDeletei see NADA under the corner banners for MONTHS now it is blank
ReplyDeleteah fack
ReplyDeleteWell, I see what the problem is with the right side banner, I'm just not sure how to fix it. Somehow the banner on the right is overlaying the header of the page. The one on the left doesn't do that. If the right one ended where the left one does I think the links would work.
ReplyDeleteMY links at the right top of YOUR page don't work either, because of the banner.
OK so let's see

An Iranian news agency has reported as fact an entirely fictitious
survey carried on The Onion website earlier this week which claimed that
most rural white Americans would vote for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
ahead of Barack Obama.
The English-language service of Iran’s
semi-official Fars news agency republished the spoof story from the
satirical website word-for-word. It even went so far as to
include a made-up quote from a fictional West Virginia resident it identified as Dale Swidersk who claimed he would rather go to a baseball
game with Mr Ahmadinejad because “he takes national defence seriously
and he’d never let some gay protesters tell him how to run his country
like Obama does”.
Homosexuality is illegal in Iran and anyone found breaking its strict
laws on sexuality risks the death penalty. During a speech at Columbia
University in 2007 Mr Ahmadinejad told the audience that “in Iran we
don’t have homosexuals like in your country.”
The Onion story also cites a Gallup poll, which it says found that 60
per cent of rural whites “at least respected that Ahmadinejad doesn’t
try to hide the fact that he’s Muslim”
the wife wants me to go over to someone I don't know house warming party. Work related. I put more money away in savings than she brings home in taxes each year. I don't particularly like these people. Too many back-stabbing assholes that frankly don't always listen to the sound advice she gives them.
ReplyDeleteWTF am I? Some corporate wife? Fuck that shit! I'm going to warm up left-over chili and watch some football with the boy this afternoon.
Also, she wanted me to take the boy to get his hair cut later on tonight....on a Saturday. It's like asking me to walk into the airport and try to drag an RPG through TSA. Not a good idea. I can't do the boy or the rest of the family any good in lock-up, however the weed is pretty good there and you can play cards and meet interesting people...
Nope I returned the cursor to the top same shit
ReplyDeletego in through the link what the fuck do we need with the shit I cant even see here under the banner??
ReplyDeleteI have no header not for MONTHS
it's blank under there from here no header like on other pages I never used it so I never gave a shit to figure out why it disappeared

ReplyDeleteOy.
It must have been a smoother transition for me because my sites had reverted to blogger comments.

According to the Disqus site, installing their widget should automatically delete the echo widget.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep trying to find answers for this weirdness.
