Ace discovers that it all depends on the meaning of “no contact” apparently that doesn’t include a public photo of the president elect and the Gov from last Tuesday.

I guess that explains all the old Clinton hands but it doesn’t explain the title of this post. This does:

If you just want the relevant line start at 4:20 and watch till 4:45.

UPDATE: The Captain sees the Clinton link too.

Well I’ve finally added a Router/Wireless setup offering and a Printer setup offering on eBay. Between that and the Virus cleanup, the System Tuneup and the System setup I now have a full line of tech services for sale on eBay.

As far as people actually bidding on them. Well as of today to quote the world’s most famous camel spotter so for my total bids have been….nearly one.

That’s not a huge surprise but I still have high hopes.

What you’ve never heard of Camel spotting? Well never let it be said that I skipped a chance to embed a Monty Python video:

Mike Barnicle is from my home town. He often talks sense and like a regular human being. He also refers to the Moran Square Dinner that has the best breakfast in the area.

I’m watching Morning Joe right now. They have Ariana Huffington on right now however and Barnicle’s intro suggested that she practically invented internet journalism.

Mike I love ya but COME ON! Did you ever hear of Drudge, or Instapundit, or Andrew Sullivan, or Kaus, or The Corner, or Michelle Malkin, or LGF, or Kos, or Eschaton, or Hotair, or Oliver Willis or Tim Blair? And that’s just naming a few!

I mean the Huffington Post is ok, but how solid is a webblog that has to shut off comments to prevent its own readers from embarrassing themselves as antisemites or as just crass when conservatives die. .

No Nelson for Camile

Camile Paglia gets it:

The tragic fate of so many innocent victims in Mumbai deserves our pity. But what should live in special infamy was the ruthless execution of the Lubavitcher rabbi, Gavriel Hertzberg, and his lovely wife, Rivka, who was 5 months pregnant. These were two idealistic young people of obvious warmth and humanity, who sought only to serve. The rescue by their Indian nanny of their orphaned 2-year-old son, Moshe, crying and smeared with his parents’ blood, is already legendary. Was this zeroing in on the Chabad Jewish Center in Mumbai about Israel, or was it simply a gruesome eruption of the medieval tradition of anti-Semitism? Why have Muslim organizations, very quick to protest insulting cartoons, been mostly silent about the atrocities in Mumbai?

The slaughter of the Hertzbergs and other Jews at Chabad House should be a wake-up call to Western liberals who believe that jihadism can be defeated through reason and happy talk. Only other Muslims can launch the stringent internal reform necessary to stomp this barbaric extremism out. But the events in Mumbai confirmed my opinion about the looming problem of a nuclear Iran: While I oppose all American military operations and bases in the Mideast, I continue to believe that Israel, whose security is directly threatened, has every right to take preemptive military action against Iran.

Plus you’ve gotta love someone in the same column when she says this, quotes Invader Zim approvingly.
