Time Out for O/T – Vol 4

Am I the only one who missed this story?

Obama Appoints Monsanto Man as FDA Food Safety Czar

I don’t remember seeing it anywhere.

I don’t like nuclear, either, Tiger. We have plenty of energy raining down on us every day if we had the economic will to harness it. We always have to pay homage to the titans of industry at the expense of the welfare of everyone else.

I can just see all the waste — once again — being parked at the edge of the nearest Indian Reservation.

Interesting tidbit behind Voinovich’s yes vote on the jobs bill:

Republican Trades Jobs Vote Bill for Promised Transportation Reauthorization Vote Later This Year

Thanks, bito. I signed, with this message:

The problem is that bipartisanship in the Congress does NOT reflect the bipartisanship of the country. Democrats AND Republicans WANT HEALTH CARE — want a public option, want to eliminate “preexisting conditions,” want to stop insurance companies from dropping coverage, want to end the Antritrust exemption.

AMERICANS ARE BIPARTISAN ON HEALTH CARE. So please pass a bill — whether the Congress is bipartisan or not.

Thank you!

Excellent!

And as for the cardboard box idea — I’m all for that. Starting with Nelson.

It’s so sad that this is just a game to some of these people in the senate, while it’s the difference between a decent life and destitute one to a lot of people.

E’cat, it looks like the president’s health care proposal may be ripe for a Rashomon treatment. Here’s how AP framed the story:

Obama puts forward last-ditch health care plan

Why do I get the impression that Rove’s Washington Bureau Chief protoge had a hand in putting that article together…

Well, you have found the ray of sunshine in this, kes!

And I was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong — what an ordeal! 👿

I’ve also made it a link so you can click on it and see the full size pic.

that image is simply stunning

Very 😎

Where did the space ship come from?

My head is spinning….

Cher — AdLib just posted above that WordPress is the problem.

So, for the time being, if you want to post a photo, just post the link and I’ll edit it.

Thanks, AdLib — this was making everyone crazy.

I don’t know why WP would have that limitation. It’s basic html.

» Posted By nellie On February 19, 2010 @ 3:19 pm

For me it works. I just posted the photo and deleted it.

So I don’t know what’s wrong. Sorry everyone.

Copy and paste the line below just as it is. copy all of it, don’t add anything:

I’m going to start a new post up top. 😉

» Posted By nellie On February 19, 2010 @ 3:07 pm

I just used it in a c/p and it worked for me. What link are you trying to post?

Cher — I posted another code at the top of the page. It’s the quote marks that are causing the problem.

» Posted By nellie On February 19, 2010 @ 2:50 pm

Thanks — I like New York Magazine.

» Posted By nellie On February 19, 2010 @ 2:45 pm

I’m determined to get this right.

<img src="link">

Try that….

{{fingers crossed}}

» Posted By nellie On February 19, 2010 @ 2:40 pm

I know what’s wrong!

It’s not registering the quote marks correctly — for some reason.

Type over the quote marks with new quote marks. That should do it.

you need to replace all 4 of them.

Thanks, Tiger. This was published back in August:

Alan Frumin May Rise From Obscurity to Craft Senate Health Bill

That move would enable Senate Democrats to pass a bill with 51 votes, rather than the 60 typically needed for contentious legislation. Under Senate rules, it also would give Frumin, 62, broad authority to decide which portions of the Democrats

» Posted By nellie On February 19, 2010 @ 2:34 pm

Nope.

Copy the code just as it is.

Then, where the word link appears in red, substitute the link you have. Don’t add anything else.

» Posted By nellie On February 19, 2010 @ 2:25 pm

Yes. Copy EXACTLY as it is, and paste in your link.

Who’s in there, now? The one the GOP settled on? Or do they have to change with a new administration?

I don’t see where the parliamentarian has a case for blocking reconciliation. It’s a budget measure.

» Posted By nellie On February 19, 2010 @ 2:21 pm

okay — let me know if I’m telling you something you already know.

you need to do an image source link (img src) it looks like this:

<img src="link" width="500">

copy the whole line, including the brackets, and paste your image link where it says link in red.

the part of the code that says width="500" is there to make sure the image fits inside the comment box.

Cher, are you still trying to post the image?
