Cher – I’m so sorry you felt the need to tell your son to move out of the States – it’s hard enough for a parent when the decision is made by the child (as my parents could tell you were they still alive). I don’t know you very well but I want to give you a hug – you must be so distressed. » Posted By Mightywoof On January 21, 2010 @ 2:12 pm Matt Taibbi Calls Out David Brooks Thanks for these links boomer – I’m still reading them but I wanted to give you all a heads up – the truthout.org article has a way for you to sign the open letter in solidarity (which I have done) – I hope this link works I’m a little late to this conversation but, to add my two pennuth, Canada has a large Haitian community in Quebec and our Governor General (Michaelle Jean) was born in Haiti – I would much rather listen to their opining on what needs to be done to help the Haitians than any pundit! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 21, 2010 @ 9:22 am I look forward to reading whatever you manage to find out – both about the judge and about the trial – good luck!! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 10, 2010 @ 8:01 am A very well written article, Scheherazade – you have managed to perfectly encapsulate my own feeling about the justice system in the western world and the very real need for ‘justice’ to be as much a part of those systems as punishment is. All I know about the American justice system is from Law & Order but, in Canada at least as far as I know, the prosecution would have good grounds for appeal before, during and after the trial if the presiding judge has made an error in law – do you think this would be the case in Judge Wilbert’s decision? A voluntary manslaughter verdict would be unconscionable from what I have read of this case – let us hope there is some common sense in that courtroom (or do I hold my breath in vain?) Edited to add: I have never seen Saw – your analogy is bone-chilling!! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 10, 2010 @ 7:41 am Welcome to the club KQ ………. there are many of us who do not trust them. They appear to be moderate only because they have a minority in Parliament and can be unseated at any time – if they ever get a majority then I’m very much afraid that Canada will become unrecognizable. » Posted By Mightywoof On March 10, 2010 @ 4:57 am I have never understood the mind of the rightwing religio-idiot and Pat Robertson is a sad and sick man! Did you see the Huffpo religion editor’s response? Mr. Robertson won’t be going anywhere near the Pearly Gates if Paul Raushenbush has his way: “Go to Hell, Pat Robertson — and the sooner the better. Your ‘theological’ nonsense is revolting. Don’t speak for Haiti, and don’t speak for God” Did you also see Pat Robertson’s reponse to the furor? From the Borowitz Report on HuffPo “Haiti? I thought they said ‘Hades.” I hope the links work 🙁 » Posted By Mightywoof On January 14, 2010 @ 5:58 am Waaaaa – no, you can’t make me *run away, run away* » Posted By Mightywoof On January 12, 2010 @ 4:46 pm Do you know how depressed the thought of that being true makes me? If that is the case she would still have American citizenship (assuming both her parents were American) as well as Canadian I think I’m going to bury my head in the sand – this world is full of too many cruel jokes 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On January 12, 2010 @ 4:45 pm No, no, no – that’s a calumny, a vicious rumour – we’d never produce anything that …. um ….. um …. I’m lost for words when I think of that person LOL . And if she was born here, we’d disown her and pretend she was American!! » Posted By Mightywoof On January 12, 2010 @ 4:26 pm Hi Murph – go to the menu bar at the top of the page >Live Events and a drop down appears for Vox » Posted By Mightywoof On October 15, 2011 @ 6:42 am Hi Kalima & Bito – thanks for trying to help me! I’ve cleaned just about everything on my ‘puter that I can think of 😉 – I then made the mistake of having a look at the IE options and changed a couple. Of course, I can’t remember what I changed and now all the text on the Planet is italicized (and on another forum it’s all bold) 🙄 I can’t click on join the conversation Bito – apart from the title PlanetPOV Tweets, the whole thing is blank!! It has to be a software update – either IE or Shockwave or something – as I have the same problem on my laptop. Ah well – some things are not meant to be (she says philosophically). » Posted By Mightywoof On August 28, 2011 @ 1:18 pm Has something gone wrong with the Twitter feed? It’s been blank for the last few days – it’s also disappeared from Frumm Forum and I’m wondering if it’s my ‘puter for some unknown reason! » Posted By Mightywoof On August 28, 2011 @ 5:22 am I ticked 3 boxes, Kalima, but I got a message saying I could only have 1 vote …. so I voted for one article thinking maybe I had to do the voting thingy one at a time but then I got the message saying I’d already voted 🙁 ………. in the next category, where we’re restricted to 3 votes, I voted for three all at the same time with no problems – I think I must have just hit The System when it was having a bad hair moment. Good (my) morning to you and good (your) night to you – thanks for all you do around here (including holding the hands of the vote-challenged like me 🙂 ) » Posted By Mightywoof On April 10, 2011 @ 8:38 am Ummmm – heeding Kalima’s and WTS’ plaintive plea that we vote, I just tried to do that. The instruction at the top says that we can vote for up to 5 articles but I’ve been told by The System that I only have one vote – waaaa *throws self on floor and has tantrum* I wanna vote more, I wanna vote early and often :lol Are the instructions incorrect or has The Sytem developed a glitch?? » Posted By Mightywoof On April 10, 2011 @ 7:12 am @jkkFL – your Harry’s Law Wins post has ‘Comments are closed’ at the bottom – was this intentional? » Posted By Mightywoof On March 14, 2011 @ 5:20 am Hi AdLib – Firbolg just posted the following in the Avatar article and you mat not see it buried in there. I don’t know if you can help “My avatar problem is different. I have been unable to navigate the convoluted process to upload my avatar to this blog. PlanetPOV’s help function sent me to several other sites where their online tech support took refuge behind IT jargon to disguise the fact they couldn’t help. It seems I may have used different usernames – and maybe even different e-mail addresses – in the past on sites that are affiliated with WordPress.com or WordPress.org (who I’m told are not related) and no one has the wit or the will to unscramble this for me.” » Posted By Mightywoof On February 18, 2011 @ 11:58 am Heh – back in the days when we were slightly evolved from the abacus, I used to do user testing for new software – I know a bug from a bug! » Posted By Mightywoof On February 12, 2011 @ 11:57 am As usual you’ve worked your magic Fearless Leader – greased lightning again!! » Posted By Mightywoof On February 12, 2011 @ 11:38 am Hi E’Cat – I use IE but this is the only site I’m having problems with – and I’m a creature of habit so I really don’t want to download another browser 😳 ubless I have to. » Posted By Mightywoof On February 12, 2011 @ 9:35 am Hi AdLib – I don’t know if anyone else is having this problem but the Planet has really slowed to a crawl again. I noticed it last night when I popped in to see what Vox was talking about and it’s still incredibly sluggish this morning. Could it be the Vox box itself that is causing it ‘cos the Planet’s been like greased lightning all week 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On February 12, 2011 @ 6:22 am Gobsmacked at your efficiency Your Speediness!! » Posted By Mightywoof On February 11, 2011 @ 8:48 am The four buttons in the feature box over there >>>>>>> ……. the Morning Blog Button doesn’t work. When I click on it I get “Not found” “The page you are looking for is not here” » Posted By Mightywoof On February 11, 2011 @ 8:35 am Yeah – I’ve noticed the huge increase in posters 😆 – I shall raise a glass to the big leap in traffic – it must be gratifying to you and the founders – you deserve it for such a wonderful place to talk politics and just plain hang out!! » Posted By Mightywoof On February 7, 2011 @ 2:04 pm I’ve been hesitant to mention this, AdLib, as I don’t want to add to your workload and I know you’ve been pulling levers behind the curtain but …… I’ve had problems several times today accessing the Planet. Have you been pulling the Planet out of orbit today or is there some kind of glitch? » Posted By Mightywoof On February 7, 2011 @ 1:54 pm Thanks AdLib – it’ll be in the MB thread » Posted By Mightywoof On August 12, 2010 @ 2:06 pm Naughty Bito – I’m going to give you a big wooden spoon for Christmas 😀 I was trying to figure out how to post a picture in the response section Ad Lib. I went over to Word Press to see if they had any instructions (after having a look at the FAQ here) but couldn’t find anything ….. then I changed my mind about posting a picture 😀 Not important although if there is such a place to find out ‘how to do stuff’ when in the response section I’d appreciate a link! Edited to add: I was trying to post a pic from my Botophucket account » Posted By Mightywoof On August 12, 2010 @ 11:56 am This is a test …. test didn’t work – back to the drawing board!! Try again – nope 🙁 » Posted By Mightywoof On August 12, 2010 @ 5:40 am Hi AdLib – I have two problems – one of which you already know about (the RC’s are blank this morning – and were blank last night as well). My second problem is that I keep having to log in even though I check marked the box thingy to keep me logged in all the time. It happened last night on my laptop (and I was tired so I didn’t bother reporting it then) and this morning I was also logged out on my desktop. Is there some sort of time limit as to how long I’ll be remembered before having to log in again? Not a major problem, really, just a minor irritation (my brain refuses to co-operate with my requests to remember stuff like passwords 🙂 ) » Posted By Mightywoof On June 18, 2010 @ 5:26 am ….. and now they’re all back again. Gremlins, I tellya, Gremlins 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On June 16, 2010 @ 4:46 pmComments Posted By Mightywoof
