I sure hope so.
I keep asking how bad does it have to get for the tide to turn. It turns now. It has to.

10. I do too, I'm just so d*mn nervous. |

I want this to be Wednesday, November 3rd. I know, my mom always said you're wishing your life away, but shoot, I want to kick some repub arse!!! I want all the people at work, and all the people in my neighborhood to see the real results, the real people coming out to vote, that good ole silent majority that everyone really feels in their gut to come out and have the REAL president, the one everyone voted for, not the one that the Supreme Court selected, but the one that will Heal, and really unify this country. We need to get back to, I am my brothers keeper, not, if I got mine then screw everyone else. I'm so hopeful, I'm so positive, I'm alive. KERRY WINS!!!

14. This amounts to NOTHING and stop hanging on it all |
|
We've had far greater than that over these years and NOTHING sticks. In fact, I've been here on and off all day and I had to go looking for the FBI Haliburton thing on TV and still not sure what the hell it is. Basically it's all shit that's been out there before with a few updates. It will not change one damn vote in this country..so stop trying to think some miracle is going to come strolling down the pike. Ain't gonna happen unless Bush finds OBL, etc. You cannot use excuses anymore. Get off your ass and get out this vote. That's your goddamn miracle you've waited years for. I won't be here much if at all on 11/2 because I'm going to be out working until every last goddamn dog is hung in this state. If you aren't, then don't bitch about the outcome and stop wishing upon a star---that's for kids.

Right click on it, choose properties, highlight the address, copy it (ctr C) then paste into your post. You have to copy the address from properties though and NOT the address bar.

Click on it, but hold down the mouse button until a little menu pops up next to your cursor, which should say something like "Download image to disk". There ya go :)

a) first, to download an image (or perform any other "right click" function) on a one-button Mac mouse or trackpad, you need to *control*-click, then choose "save image as," "copy link to clipboard," or whatever. Better yet, buy a 2-button Mac mouse.
b) to post an image with a message here, the image can't just be attached or pasted into your message. it needs to be hosted somewhere else on the net (other than our avatars). there are many free image hosting services, but I am not expert on these. you probably don't want to serve the image from your own desktop computer, unless you have always-on broadband, know how to secure a web server, and are willing to use the bandwidth and take the security risk. If the image you want is ALREADY hosted elsewhere on the web and has an accessible URL (here is where "right click"/"Control click" and "copy link to clipboard" or "copy image location" comes in handy) you can simply paste that URL into your message. I believe you can also do fancier things with the <img src="xxxx"> tag as well.
But I'm often a bit surprised at the volume of images here, especially in .sig files. They really use a lot of bandwidth and make pages load slowly. They're cute, but when the same poster uses the same giant image four or five times in the same thread it gets frustrating if I'm on dialup or bad wireless (too often the latter). It's got to be a drain on DU's own server capacity even though the images are served from elsewhere, simply because it delays page loads. And too often we are technically "stealing" bandwidth when we post images from elsewhere on the net, often from the sites of fellow liberal bloggers etc. (The big news orgs make it hard to embed their images in other web pages; it's the little people who don't know how to limit this). I've sometimes thought we should start a voluntary campaign to reduce .sig file images a bit (I also manage another web forum, so I am particularly sensitive to all this). At least, I like it when some posters remember to put"large pictures" or the equivalent in the thread titles of image-heavy threads.

42. yes, thank you so much for thinking of us "little bloggers" |
|
I know somebody somewhere sometime must be linking directly to images on my website; when enough bandwidth is used I do get a bill (otherwise free--I got in on a good intro deal).

We'll have a barrel of fun
Either Rove and Co. are shitting major bricks -- and I'd love to have the stool softener concession on Air Force One, cuz you know the presswhores are too -- or they have a true doozy they've been saving up for the weekend. Basically, they have two options, and neither is a sure bet:
1) Terra attack -- not just an alert. The scary videotape ploy seems to be getting drowned out. That looked pretty hail mary to me.
2) Actually wheeling out either the Big O or catching the mysterious Mister Z. The latter might not register , or it might be just enough. The former would, at this point, begin to look mighty suspicious.
Option 3 is that they have some major provable dirt on our man. But don't you think they would have floated it by now if they had, say, the infamous flag video freepers are always imagining in their wet dreams?
God,I hope our guys have saved something good for the bottom of the 9th. Say, a cocaine bust with the arrest record!
Still, I like the feeling in the air. And it's hard to have an October Surprise on November 1.
