70 Years Ago

Top 5 songs of 1939:

Judy Garland - Over the Rainbow

Glenn Miller - Moonlight Serenade

Kate Smith - God Bless America

Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit

Louis Armstrong - When the Saints Go Marching In

Unlike 49, or 59, or 69, I know all these. 1939 must've been quite a year.

Someone Needs a Gramprin

Not satisfied with the GOP's alienation of Hispanics over Obama's Supreme Court nominee (really, it's so blatant, offensive and random, it's like watching a Tourette's sufferer at a Cinco De Mayo parade - wait, did i just kill my own point? evs), G. Gordon Liddy opens fire on women, too:

"Let's hope that the key conferences aren't when [Sotomayor]'s menstruating or something, or just before she's going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then."

Soon, the only Republicans will be grumpy old white men.

Wiggle It, Just a Little Bit

For real:

Problem: When you try to return data from Microsoft Query 97 to a Microsoft Excel 97 worksheet, the spinning globe icon (which signifies that a query is processing) may appear for a long time, and then the query returns no data to your worksheet.

Method 1: Turn Off the Enable Background Refresh Setting

To prevent the query from running in the background, follow these
steps:
... [blahblahblah] ...

Method 2: Move Your Mouse Pointer

If you move your mouse pointer continuously while the data is being
returned to Microsoft Excel, the query may not fail. Do not stop moving the
mouse until all the data has been returned to Microsoft Excel.

NOTE: Depending on your query, it may take several minutes to return
the results of your query to the worksheet.

WTF

I had a dream. Crazy dream.

Since we don’t have health care rationing here in the US, I must have dreamed that MedCo called me up today and told me they couldn’t fill the prescription my doctor wrote because my insurance doesn’t cover the drug my doctor thought I should have.
