Re: Helium where the heck "ARE ya?"
Right now I'm sitting and watching the screen on my iBook. What a coincidence! Someone must have just typed, "Right now I'm sitting and watching the screen on my iBook." Amazing.

Mr H, there's a new Amazon e-book reading device out called "Kindle".
Anderson Cooper says Kindle's better than your MAC ibook for reading stuff.
When theSpoof (the book version) goes live over at Amazon perhaps we can all download it to our Kindles. That way wherever we go, to church service even (when we should be reading the bible),
simply pull out your Kindle in the pew, load up theSpoof.com ebook and enjoy the sermon.
Odds are one of Jman's pieces will popup first. Before John 3:17 even. The angels don't like that happening ..

Re: Helium where the heck "ARE ya?"
Anderson Cooper has made a career out of saying stupid things. (He studies under the Grand Master: Wolf Blitzer.) Why in the world would I take computer advice from that spoiled little boy?
My iBook (and Mac Classic Plus and the Apple //c before it) all run off my solar power system.
It makes no sense to me to replace a computer which runs for "free" with a gadget that uses power --- especially when nice hard-bound books use none of my modest solar power output. For sure, the production of books uses up resources, but only once. Electronic gadgets use power every time you turn one on.
In the same way in which cell phones have made pay phones hard to find (for us cellular holdouts), I can see the day coming when paper books will be considered ancient (and expensive) technology. Asswipes like Anderson Cooper will be on hand; throwing his meager book collection (Reader's Digest Condensed Books) into his backyard bar-b-que pit.

Re: Helium where the heck "ARE ya?"
Way cool solar collector. Looks powerful enough to power the spoof grinder itself.
(hint folks .. never mention "grinder" within earshot of Paul. He'll BLOW if he thinks we know about it):
Sorry if you may have had a possible run-in with Andy Cooper.
Andrew's not that bad of a chap once you get to almost know him.
And his pal Wolf. AND John King and his magic board.
Given a choice between an iBook and one of John King's magic boards ..
(tuff choice here) .. I'd .. sorry Mr H but I'd have to go with the magic board ..

Re: Helium where the heck "ARE ya?"
I only watch CNN when my remote button gets frozen; when all other cable channels are off the air; when I have fallen fast asleep and someone else switches to CNN; on days when CNN is offering a billion dollars to every viewer; AND whenever Christianne Amanpour is on the air.
Most other times I am watching MSNBC (especially so when Nora O'Donnell is reporting) but also when Rachel Madden is on. Now there's a strange pair of favorites...
Actually, I haven't watched a whole lot of TV since Dennis Kucinich and his wife Elizabeth dropped out of the Democratic race.
On a serious note, I like to get my "breaking-type" news from Keith Obermann. The first half hour of his show is great, but i make a point of turning the TV off before the dreaded second half of his show begins.
But, if your serious about getting a journalistically superior brief of what happened today, it's hard to beat the first 10 minutes of the News Hour on PBS. And, if you watch the entire show on a consistent basis, you can just about guarantee yourself that you'll be well-informed--whatever that is.
WARNING FROM THE SURGEON GENERAL:
A steady diet of MSNBC, CNN, (and certainly) FOX will make you need large doses of Ritalin.

Didn't you mean,
"Since Elizabeth Kuchinich's husband dropped out of the Democratic race"?
Speaking of scantily clad politician's wives who are several centuries younger than the actual politician,
I may just file a People's Court suit against MSNBC. The other night Obermann went
"Good night and good luck", balled up his script, threw it at my LCD TV screen
(from the other side) and wouldn't you know it ..
I didn't appreciate that. As you know it's cheaper to replace a 65 inch LCD TV than try and repair the screen.
Thx Keith. I swear. The line between reality, fiction and spoof still continues to blur to the point that sometimes I actually believe that at one time we really DID work for a place called "The Spoof" with a Mas-suh named "Jack" slave-driving 10 thousand writers who would never even recognize each other if we were all at this moment sitting together in the same Starbucks booth Wi'fying iTunes to our iPhones and sipping $4 Lattes (the LARGE $4 Latte, not the thimble sized $4 Latte .. Starbucks will give you the SMALL $4 Latte unless you stand up for rights and go .. "I WANT THE ****'ed LARGE $4 LATTE dad GUMMIT!).
Works 70% of the time. 30% not. At $tarbux. Ordering $4 Lattes.
I think the "dad GUMMIT" part shows them that you're a super Ninja Turtle and you mean business and that you're the kind that will INDEED (as Festus Hagen used to say) "drag their sorry derriere's" to People's Court in a devil's blink if they don't comply fully and completely with your demands.
"All $4 Lattes"

If I wasn't at all familiar with Cindy McCain and saw her walking down the street, I would immediately know that she was the wife of a fighter pilot. I worked 15 years traveling to just about every US military base (including several overseas) and this much I can tell you: fighter jocks marry women with a certain kind of look about them. Without going into great detail, it is a look that combines elements of classy, cheap, hard, and cheerleader all rolled into one. Cindy has perfected that look. When John grows tired of looking at her, he can just take solace in the free case of beer she brings home every night from work.
