The Life of Diana

I just heard it reported right now that Mitt Romney left San Diego today with what appeared to be a Secret Service detail. Naturally, the only possible explanation for why he would have a Secret Service detail (IF that's indeed what it was) would be because McCain has chosen him for veep.

It is said that nobody votes for prez because of the veep pick. This would make me vote for McCain (up till now, I promised myself I'd write in Ronald Reagan's name as a protest). I want Romney's expertise when McCain is crafting his economic policy. And of course, I want Romney set up nicely for his own run, should McCain loose (if he wins, and gets two terms, there's is almost no chance for a Republican to take the White House again. I'm not %1,000 sure, but I'm fairly sure that no party has ever held the White House for three consecutive presidents in a row, and certainly not when the first two had full 8 year terms.

What I'll be excited to see is how McCain handles the criticism if it is Romney. Having Biden badmouthing Obama on tape is awesome for the McCain campaign. But two can play that game if Romney is the vp.

Here's how I'd play it, though...if I were Mitt being asked about why I'd be McCain's veep after I said nasty things about him, I'd frame it something like, "Senator McCain and I have had, and continue to have, some different and distinct opinions as to how to handle certain problems in this country. But I'd take Senator McCain's experienced and famously independent opinion over Senator Obama's inexperienced, party-line opinion any day. I'd like to remind everyone that no president and vice president in history have ever fully agreed on everything. And while I had differences in opinion on policy with John McCain, Senator Biden said that Senator Obama was simply inexperienced and not ready to be President. How exactly do you overcome that difference?"

Pelosi Tells Disappointed Clinton Supporters to Avoid 'Victim Politics'.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will kick off the Democratic National Convention by making one thing clear: The Democratic Party is united behind Sen. Barack Obama.

During an interview Sunday with "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran, the DNC chair said she expected the party to leave the convention "unified, organized, focused and disciplined."

When asked whether she expected a large demonstration by Sen. Hillary Clinton's delegates Tuesday, Pelosi said, "I'm all for it."

Pelosi had tough words today for reporters who referred to previous conflicts between Obama and Clinton.

"We are going into the future. What did I walk into, a time capsule?" she asked.

I've often wondered if Democrats knew they were wrong in the things they did. Whenever Democrats became "strict constructionists" over the Patriot Act, when they condemn victim policits and scare tactics and race-baiting...I always have to wonder if they are just exposing the fact that they know the major plays from their playbook are wrong, or if they are just so dense, they can't see that their entire party is made up of people who are elected precisely because of their ability to play victim politics, scare people, and race-bait.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain may announce his choice for a running mate earlier than expected, sources told FOX News on Monday.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain may announce his choice for a running mate earlier than expected, sources told FOX News on Monday.

McCain had previously said he would announce his vice presidential pick on Friday and would appear with that individual at a rally in Dayton, Ohio, following the announcement. Friday is McCain’s 72nd birthday.

But sources close to McCain’s campaign told FOX News that his decision may come sooner than that — possibly on Thursday, when Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination at Invesco field in Denver, Colo.

I thought about this. What if McCain announced his VP pick in the middle of the Dem convention. Like, two or three hours before Obama's speech, or even DURING Biden's. The Democrats will be too busy with the convention to get off anything about the pick too quickly, and the the media will have to decide whether to fish or cut bait. That leave the possibility of less media coverage for the vp anouncement. But that's not exactly a bad thing in my mind. A small, slow, even quiet announcement would convey maturity and a calmness about the pick, and a sense that while everyone was oohing and ahhing at the dem convention, John McCain made a headline and everyone else has to go and play catch-up. The Dems will have to do double work, combatting the spin the GOP will be spinning about their convention, while trying to attack the veep pick. There are other positives I could think of too, but these shoudl be enough for the moment.

So what if he did that? I wonder what that would be like.

hello :]

i have a request. would anyone be able to give me photos of Kyo with his hair like
( this? )

it's the half black and half blondeish. and i believe it's from over the vulgar shudder? like any screencaps of the Code of Vulgar[ism] second disc. just anything really. any help is appreciated. thank you.

But I want to know why. I'm glad that *ahem* "Debra" is voting for McCain, but what would motivate her to do so? Surely Obama is far closer to her own psoitions on issues than is John McCain. I admit, in my anger at McCain's nomination, I toyed with the idea of voting Democrat this year, but I never would have actually gone through with it, for goodness sake. If McCain is not my idea of a conservative, Obama is not less than thirty-thousand times less conservative than McCain. So I don't really see what McCain has to offer disaffected Hillary supporters.

Yay, so school starts today...in six hours no less. Heh, totally excited but I'm too burnt out right now to really express it fully on this post.

As for other things going on, I'll have to give a proper update when I am able to in the next day or so. But I WILL say that my computer's partitions were completely FRIED and I had to have my entire comp restored...so I've essentially lost all my programs or anything else that ever fucking mattered to me...heh, on the MAIN hard drive. THANKFULLY everything else was backed up onto my External so I can start over easily. The sad part is that I lost ALL of my fuckin' bookmarks on Mozilla.

-sighs and shrugs- Oh well, guess that's life I suppose. Can't really think of it any other way than to think of it in that light.

Anyway, gotta go for now. I'm tired and I have a long week and weekend ahead of me (lol) so wish me luck as I start things fresh and with a new perspective!

Hello Darling members of direngrey_fotos.

I used to be SUPER active in previous years, but due to major computer problems, I haven't been able to frequent the jrock communities I normally do.
Part of it is the crippling pain that is the fact my hard drive was unrecoverable and a reboot of windows was needed.
As a result every single Dir en grey picture I ever saved (in the course of 3 years) is and forever will be gone.
This was about 50 Gig, If I remember correctly.
(I also lost all my jrock, photoshop brushes, and bookmarks, but that's another battle.)
This sucks royally.

Considering I used to be a big pic-saver (I'd spend at least 2 hours every day just going throuigh galleries) and was a member of numerous forums and comms just for getting pictures, this is a huge blow.
(Backing up things every week was inefficient, and I didn't have a good external drive for the job.)
Now when I used to frequent here, these posts would get users back on their feet. I would paste a couple gallery links, or re-route the user to a zip I hosted somewhere... Just so they can start to build what had been demolished.
But since I contributed so much here in the past, and I know it's possible, I humbly ask thee:

Post your pictures!

Galleries, flikr sites, backup files you have, screencaptures, funny photos, things you took from jrockhumor, photoshoots, your own concert photos, press pictures, concert pics,  Haiiro no Ginka scans, photobuckets, scans, maybe you can zip or rar a folder you have and host it somewhere.

I will take anything.

And don't say "look in memeories" because I know what's in there, and half that stuff isn't even up anymore.
I know this community has the potential to save one of it's own and share what they have accumulated. Even linking me to similar posts (where people beg for HDD-failure replacements) would be helpful!

TLDR: Hard Drive Failure - Post anything you have that you wouldn't want to lose.

Hello!
I joined the community before a long time ago, but I am more a lurker then a poster. I would like to ask recent pics of the band, mainly of Die and Shinya.
I've been out of the loop for awhile and missed a l lot!
And another tiny request, does someone has the pictures that been used for that icons?


Hope it's ok to post here.

Arigatou!

Of course, if McCain picks Mitt Romney, he'll have the same problem, won't he? Hmm...

And look at the script for this little gem featuring Hillary. McCain is, without shame or any attempt to hide it (not that he should), trying to go after the intensely dissappointed Hillary supporters with this one. Dirty pool, Johnny! I like it.

“Passed Over” will hit the airwaves at (you guessed it) 3 a.m. Sunday. The timing is a reference to Hillary Clinton’s national security ad during the Democratic primary and the same time the Obama campaign sent out its text message announcing Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden as the vice-presidential nominee.

“She won millions of votes. But isn’t on his ticket. Why?” an announcer says in the 30-second spot.

The answer? “For speaking the truth.”

The ad, which has not yet been released, then ticks off a litany of criticism Clinton used against Obama in the prolonged primary, according to a transcript sent to reporters.

“You never hear the specifics,” Clinton says.

“On the Rezko scandal,” the voice says.

“We still don’t have a lot of answers about Senator Obama,” Clinton says in footage from the primaries.

“Senator Obama’s campaign has become increasingly negative,” Clinton says in another scene.

The announcer closes by saying “The truth hurt. And Obama didn’t like it.”

Niiiice...

I love this stuff too much.
