    I’m going to spend a couple days up at Tahoe myself this coming week.

    SAN FRANCISCO (CN) – Small businesses that received $682 million in IOUs from the state say California expects them to pay taxes on the worthless scraps of paper, but refuses to accept its own IOUs to pay debts or taxes.

    Thank God you are OK. Glad you are getting some of nature’s finest.

  4. Woody Says:

    That comment will cost you $20.

    60 Minutes tonight profiles Chiquita Banana Corp paying vicious para military groups protection money– while they did things like cut of a child’s head while the horrified villagers watched. Families are now suing as are others suing corporations who paid protection money to groups that killed thousands.

    Woo bloody HOO.

    careful not to get into a boating accident or cut your hands baiting a line up there. Obama will pull the plug on you ’cause you’re getting old anyway. Sarah says so, must .

    Itchy trigger finger, Mr X ? :)

    Marc, great swimming at Cave Rock. You can park your car just south of the State park and walk to the beach from there. The water is actually warm!

    Jim, the Braves took 3 out of 4 from the Dodgers in L.A.

  11. Woody Says:

    Smart Dog!!

  12. jim hitchcock Says:

    Uh, yeah, Woody, I caught that.

    In all it’s glory.

  13. jim hitchcock Says:

    …Not to mention taking the season series from the Dodgers.

    Can’t really complain, though. It’s been a spectacular season so far.

    just trying to get my wisecracks in before Obama’s eugenics panel kills me and my grandma for being short.

  15. Mr X Says:

    PS, what shall we call people who think that that scary, black President is coming to kill their disabled kids? “Deathers?”

  16. Woody Says:

    Jim, I hate the west coast games. On game one, I was up until after 1:30 AM just to watch the Braves blow a 2 run lead in the ninth and lose to a walk-off HR. Fortunately, fate reversed course for the other games. You guys need to change to Eastern time.

    I think “morons” will work just fine. For example, Stephen Hawking wouldn’t be alive if he lived under Britain’s health care system: http://bit.ly/iYthX

    Yo,man, it’s ‘Sierra’, not Sierras. You wouldn’t say Chineses would you?

    I’m all for `Palindrones’.

    I miss the days when the Left was keeping up their death count of our troops in the Mideast pretending it was about compassion when it’s now proven to be about politics. The silence is deafening.

    “Short people have no reason to live”….

    He’ll be doing you and us a favor.

  22. Woody Says:

    Well, the new site name and graphics look nice. Right now, they’re not showing on the main page but are showing with the comments.

    Don’t forget the meteor shower tonight. Should be great viewing in the high Sierras. Look towards the northeast.

  23. Listener Says:

    Love, love, love the redesign. Lookin’ good, Marc.

    If you had added a preview option, the joint would be perfect. Come to think of it, I don’t know if I can cope with perfect.

    Well done!

  24. Bob Williams Says:

    Whoa.

    Fabulous look. Very Hollywood. Thought I dialed the wrong number for a second there.

    The Wood-man has a point (so long as you substitute ‘Democrats’ for ‘the left’). The ‘progressive’ anti-war candidate has spread the conflict to Pakistan and Afghanistan with barely a peep out of the rest of the Dems; BO’s rhetoric regarding Iran is softer than, but substantively indistguinshable from Bush’s; he has caved already to BigPharma re: govt use of their bargaining power to lower prices for consumers; and the ‘public option’ in BO’s health care plan needs to placed on the endangered species list.

    And the media continue to portray BO as left/liberal, further narrowing the range of acceptable political thought. Is there anyone from the left who thinks president BO isn’t a big disaster?

    I love the Orangey colors, and love the titleDissonance.

    Cobb County guy,

    Does it bother you rooting for the Braves when it is owned by commie/red/pinko/pinko billionaire/commie-red-pinko—billionaire-capitalist/slash/communist/slash capitalist Ted Turner? Shouldn’t you be placed on the “Terrorist Watch List” for supporting this subversive organization?
