Stranger than truth departmen
July 7, 2007 - 20:47 ET by Del DolemonteStranger than truth department: I'm sure there are a few "children of the 60s" here who remember the great comedy group Firesign Theatre, best known for such classics as "Nick Danger, Third Eye" and "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers".
"Dwarf's" sequel was an epic called "I Think We're All Bozos on this Bus". In one of the best segments from side 2, the main character, a guy named Clem, gets a chance to talk to "The President", who appears as a hologram. Clem asks him a simple question ("why does the porridge bird lay its egg in the air?") which immediately short circuits the Prez.
This morning, "President" Al Gore kicked off the Tokyo portion of the Global Cooling concert by appearing on the Tokyo stage as...a hologram! Proving once again that Firesign has always been 30 years ahead of its time...

July 7, 2007 - 22:29 ET by GrammyI need some help, please.
I just discovered (for me, Algore, just for me) the internet late last summer. NB was just about the first place I came across. I still haven't figured out how to navigate this site.
I seem to only be able to reply to a comment and not make a general comment. And then there is the problem of timing out and losing my comment. Additionally, when I do try to make a comment I lose everything if I go back to check on something.
The whole thing is so imtimidating and frustrating that I usually just wind up reading.
I need some take by the hand and walk the dummy (ME) through help and instructions.
I would be so grateful for any help.

July 7, 2007 - 22:36 ET by amberIf you look right under the article you are comenting on, it will say "make new comment" click that. If you are timing out, sometimes I will type up my comment in word, proof it, and copy it here, you could also hit the preview comment button so it will restart the clock and not time out on you. Sometimes if I want to check on something, I open another browser, so I will have 2 NB windows up, but only be logged into one.
I am no expert, not by a long shot. Nor am I really qualified to teach his stuff, this is just what I do. Just play with and it will come. Don't feel bad.

July 7, 2007 - 22:42 ET by BlondeGrammy,
(1) So that you don't lose your comment while checking something else out, open another internet explorer session....on NB if that's what you're checking.
(2) Use the "Preview Comments" button frequently so as to not lose your post.
(3) To make a general comment, click the "Add Comment" button at the bottom of the blog post (above the first comment you should find it on the right hand side of the page).
Hope this helps. Also, go to the forums (click the third word over under the "Newsbusters" logo at the top of the page). There are a couple of forum topics there about how to utilize this site....that may help as well. Keep on posting, and asking questions here....everyone is willing to help. And good for you learning the computer!!!!
Regards.

But then, pride seems to always go before a fall.

Dicaprio: "Uh.. It was just a movie Al. I was just pretending."
Gore: "No way! Movies ARE real. I have a movie you know. It has real stuff in it. If it wasn't real, it wouldn't be documented on film, now would it, smart boy."
Dicaprio: "Uh... they have a separate category for films like yours Al... Fantasy."
Gore: "I used to be Vice President, actor boy. I wrote a book. The MSM loves me. I have a concensus within the scientific community. Now if you were smart, you'd just get back on that boat, the SS Hindenburg, and sail on out of here before old Al goes Global on your punk hinnie."
