Thanks for the suggestions. I was going to stay in Waikiki at the Embassy Suites but decided on the Ala Moana Hotel instead. The location was great, and the government rate gets you an ocean view...

Hi Everyone -

I'm going to be in Honolulu next month for a few weeks for work. Any recommendations on hotels? I'd love a hotel that provides a free breakfast, and even moreso if the room has at...

1:58 - yup

2:47 - yup; it's not a pretty picture

Finally, folks are realizing that we are totally screwed no matter who gets in. But lets look at what these 2 bozos are saying about the economy: McCain ignorantly proclaims "the fundamentals of our...

Never read a Neal Stephenson book yet. Which one do you recommend? I see he's got a new one just out called Anathem which looks like it might interest my daughter.

My apologies for the name switch, MF; that's what I get for multitasking. I was indeed responding to you.

My post was really about campaign strategies and what candidates say and how their...

No, you misunderstood me, Myopic. I don't have a dog in this fight. I understand the context of Biden's comment completely; my point is that comments like that can be used by his opponents by...

Why in the world would Joe Biden make this comment?



This would seem to be undercutting the argument that the Dems have tried to make that Obama is qualified to be president, and reminding...

Haha! Understood.

The problem isn't the military, but the politicians who direct them.

Do your kids know you killed sheep in order for them to attend the camp? :p

Welcome back. I've been wondering what happened to you.

I also wonder what's happened to Bluicycle (can't...

I've been thinking about the women at Pua'i's aerobics class, and comparing them with my liberal girlfriends here in Seattle. None of my friends were impressed with Palin's convention address at...

I'm not much into chick lit, but two audiobooks that were amazingly entertaining that I'd recommend (as audio or book form) are: The Undomestic Goddess and Can You Keep a Secret, both by Sophie...

I am totally wiped out from stuff I had to deal with at work today. Best part of my day was getting home from work (at 7 pm) and my DH making us rice and Zippy's chili. Now if I only had Maui...

Looking at the electoral count based on recent polling data, it could very well be that Ohio will again be the state that decides the election. Obama has been wisely campaigning in Ohio this...

Oops: It should read lavagal's mom, although I'm sure I would like LikaNui's mom as well.

Hmm, I would probably like LikaNui's mom.

I think Peggy Noonan, she of the open microphone on MSN, was exactly right in how she described Palin:

"Because she jumbles up so many cultural...

I liked her folksy, down-to-earthiness, and her attack on the elites and even big business (very populist!). Good job. The real test will be when she debates against Biden. The big question,...

I just want to report that I am really enjoying The Gargoyle by Davidson. His writing is very accessible and the story is intriguing.

Your Hawaii Public Library Sytem has ebooks too that you...

I do hope this rumor is a non-starter that will blow up in the face of the democraticunderground.com & Daily Kos folks who savour schadenfreude, but all points seem to lead to Bristol, sadly enough. ...

Woah, and woe! :eek:

I just checked out the various family photos taken when Sarah Palin would have been pregnant, and yeah, the daughter definitely looks pregnant; Gov. Palin, meanwhile, never...

Yes, I did not mean you, LL. :D

Ack--and I cannot believe I misspelled frivolous!
