Nice to see he knows how to use it as well. Or is this racist?

Brilliant! You’re up awfully early today Stoaty.

I think he should bust some rhymes on us with Nancy Pelosi on human beatbox. That would be about as authentic as the sudden folksy locutions. I dunno about Reverend Wright. I’m thinking more Elmer Gantry.

Stoaty–thinking of breaking down and buying a tablet for some photoshopping at home. Got a pick? Bamboo?

Personally, I wish somebody would pick up a mop and beat the living hell outta him with it.

oOOOooO! You can even do a version of this with him holding a golf club!

Beyond Bibb — Wacom is the only game in town. I’ve never used a Bamboo, but my other tablet — my first one, the one that finally kicked the bucket — was a Graphire, which was the bottom of the range then. And the smallest one they made, too. I LOVED it.

The one I’m using now is an Intuos, which is the next one up. About twice the price. And, yeah, it feels a little nicer. It’s all rubberized. It’s got more pressure points, though I don’t make much use of pressure-sensitive tools.

On the whole, though, you’re probably safe going with the Bamboo and seeing how you feel about it.

My preference is always for the smallest tablet. The pressure area is an analogue for the computer screen — i.e. the top left of the tablet is the top left of the monitor — so if you get a big one, you have to make big, sweeping motions to do everything.

Thanks Stoats–that’s pretty much what I’ve read about size too. In this case…ahem…bigger’s not better….?

Also worth knowing you can use your regular mouse in conjunction. If you *only* have a tablet, it can be a pain to surf — imagine having to put a pencil down to use the keyboard. Like that.

Of course, my touchpad shat the bed on my ThinkPad, so I only have a tablet now.

Also, no spacebar. I’ve had to remap my right Alt to be a space, which has no doubt corrupted my touch typing forEVER.

Wow, the best speaker in the world and that’s the most clever line he can come up with? This whole “things are awful and something, anything must be done and you’re a bad guy for opposing my actions” thing is just childish. He’s throwing tantrums every day, and when someone calls him on it, he throws a bigger one.

I remember feeling that sense of relief when President Bush took office – not that he was some towering statesman of grandest glory, but that finally after 8 years adults had taken over government again. Now the children are back in charge.

You know, George Bush would be quite some way down my list of favourite politicians. But the one thing that shines through compared with the present infant incumbent? He at least had the dignity appropriate to his office.

[…] (1) Give Stoaty some love for her depiction of Obama’s socialist mop: […]

Sometimes I think it would
be fun if we all talked like
Obama, reading from his tele-
prompter, with un-natural
speech patterns, with strange
stops and starts that are not any-
where near to how normal people
speak and sound.

We could have a talk
like Obama day (similar to talk
like a Pirate Day), where we all
speak in awkward stilted cadence
like Obama reading from his tele-
prompter

I apologise in advance:

INT. WHITE HOUSE PRESS ROOM. A BRIEFING.
A supine corps of pithed frogs sits numbly awaiting the next missive from their overlord.

A fanfare of trumpets sounds, and BHO (Flava Flav) struts out, with his signature backwards-facing baseball cap, gold chains and pectoral Presidential Seal of Office, accompanied by NANCY PELOSI (Madonna). The press corps genuflects.

BHO (rapping)
Yo, this is Barack O.,
An’ I wanna hear y’all holla
I bin printin’ so much dough
That a Euro buy two dollar

NANCY PELOSI (beatbox)
BOOM! wicka-wicka-wicka-wicka…word!

BHO (bustin’ a move)
Pop’n’lock, followed by Electric Boogaloo.

PRESS CORPS
Standing ovation, multiple orgasms, fainting. Pandemonium ensues.

Okay, this is “someone else’s mess?”

This is what we get when only one news station (FoxNews) is actually reporting the NEWS.

Since when is this “someone else’s mess,” when, by all accounts, our “economic meltdown” was orchestrated–yes, it’s deliberate–by the “Federal Reserve folks” forcing banks to provide “sub-prime loans?” Guess who was one of the lawyers suing banks because they were not giving out enough sub-prime loans to minorities? OBAMA (before he was a Senator).

OBAMA helped create this mess. At the minimum, he certainly is not anyone who realistically should be charged with solving it. At best, he is ignorant of how the economy works. At worst, he is Satan: he’s deliberately helping to create a crisis in order to “be the solution.”

I know I sound crazy. But I also was called “crazy” 20 years ago when I argued during the “civil union” debate that it would lead to “gay marriage” (or is that “may-wage”?). Now I’m a soothsayer, huh? Sorry to sound arrogant. But GEEZ, how short-sighted can Americans be?

more nuts in here than a christmas basket…..

We celebrate Kwanzaa at this blog, john.

Dogs and cats, living together…

John: Liberals seem to resort to name-calling when they lack intelligent, empirically-based grounds for a lucid response.

Obama is socialist Marxist. This is documented. Obama got his start with an anti-American terrorist group with Bill Ayers (who wrote Obama’s so-called “auto-biography”).

Obama worked for ACORN as a lawyer and sued banks for not making enough sub-prime loans by abusing the otherwise well-meaning “Community Reinvestment Act.” See this link: http://iusbvision.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/in-plain-english-how-did-the-biggest-financial-scandal-in-history-happen/

(Okay, I’ve used my “one-link” quota for a post, but Google “Obama subprime sued banks” and see the evidence documened.)

Instead of calling folks “nuts” or banning FoxNews for telling the truth that is critical of “der Fuhrer,” your “messiah,” Obama, why not engage with TRUTH?

Because liberals can not engage with truth, that’s why.

So they ban, throw in jail, shut down and destroy their enemies.

Why, thank you very much! So nice of you to drop by.

I do so hope you haven’t irrevocably strained your sense of humor.
