This is One Case Where I Actually Prefer the Cover

To the original even with the whole Pennywise thing going on. Supposedly the title to the song was inspired by this picture of George Brett (along with lots of teenage angst).

In the War on Standards Standards Actually Won a Round

In one case on whether employers can use background and credit checks in hiring. The courts rejected the EEOC's complaint.

Yesterday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a challenge by the EEOC to the use of credit checks by Kaplan Higher Education Corporation. The very first sentence of the opinion, by Judge Ray Kethledge, calls out the EEOC for its hypocricy:
In this case, the EEOC sued the defendant for using the same type of background check that the EEOC itself uses.

The EEOC claimed that these kind of checks had a disproportionate effect on minorities and to prove it they brought in a crack team of "race detectives" to guess at applicants' race based on their drivers license picture.

The way the EEOC attempted to prove disparate impact is quite revealing and rather disconcerting. To evaluate the racial impact of a hiring policy, one must, of course, know the race of applicants. In this case, Kaplan did not record this information. Thus, the EEOC's "expert" had to eyeball copies of applicant driver's licenses and, in effect, guess the race. (The expert also had the names of applicants; though the EEOC insisted they weren't used to determine race, the Sixth Circuit seemed skeptical of that claim).

To guess the race of applicants from the photos on their licenses, the expert used a process called "race rating." He assembled a team of five race raters each of whom has experience in what the EEOC calls "multicultural, multiracial, treatment outcome research."

And the Court was having none of this.

The EEOC brought this case on the basis of a homemade methodology, crafted by a witness with no particular expertise to craft it, administered by persons with no particular expertise to administer it, tested by no one, and accepted only by the witness himself. The district court did not abuse its discretion in excluding [the expert's] testimony.

I almost expected the court to follow up with a Billy Madison judgment here.

Where Your Tax Dollars Are Going

The Road to Progressive Dhimmitude

In the recent Hobby Lobby Case, Justices Elana Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor said that corporations that don't want to pay for abortions should simply not provide any health insurance: "But isn't there another choice nobody talks about, which is paying the tax, which is a lot less than a penalty and a lot less than - than the cost of health insurance at all?" Dissenters from the official line must pay a tax. That sounds familiar.

Consider the ObamaCare 'Tax' penalty as just the starting jizyah dhimmis like you will have to pay for not adhering to the state religion - progressivism.

Harvard Dean: Hollywood is Being Too Friendly and Not Mocking the Military Enough

So sayeth Professor Steven M. Walt of Harvard's School of Government:

Since the early 1980s, in fact, mass-market treatments of war and the military have become increasingly respectful, even adulatory. This trend begins with An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), followed by Top Gun, a 1986 film starring the F-14 Tomcat; A Few Good Men (1992); Saving Private Ryan (1998 ); Independence Day (1996), where the villains are evil space aliens and a sniveling civilian secretary of defense; Black Hawk Down, a 1999 book by Mark Bowden and 2001 film; the Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker (2008 ); and Zero Dark Thirty (2012) about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. You could toss in Lone Survivor, Shooter, Under Siege, Tour of Duty, Call to Glory, JAG, and Band of Brothers - the moral of the story wouldn't change much. Some of these works include conniving politicians or less-than-admirable commanders, but the core institutions and the troops themselves are portrayed in a consistently positive light. Today, only Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury is still willing to crack a few jokes at the military's expense, but his main military characters (B.D., Ray, Melissa, and Toggle) are all wounded or damaged in some fashion and the predominant tone is one of sympathy and support rather than satire.

I can think of only five partial exceptions to this pattern - Private Benjamin (1980), Stripes (1981), Good Morning, Vietnam (1987) and the two Hot Shots! parodies, but these works do not undermine my larger point.

And even the exceptions he points out aren't portraying the military negatively enough for him:

In Stripes and Private Benjamin, for example, the lead characters ultimately gain wisdom from their military experience and become better people. And Good Morning, Vietnam becomes less funny as the film proceeds, as Cronauer confronts the realities of the war and discovers a Viet Cong agent has duped him. Hot Shots! (1991, 1993) doesn't really count, as these films are really spoofs of pro-military genre films (especially Top Gun) rather than of the military itself.

Well at least Walt can console himself with M*A*S*H and all the deranged veteran movies of the 70s.

42 This comment from the WeaponsMan post sums up just how wrong Walt is about the supposed "respectful" attitude of Hollyweird towards the US military: "But your Harvard Sophisticato talks of Holloywood becoming “increasingly respectful, even adulatory” since the 1980s? Let’s not forget Three Kings (hardly a positive image), In the Valley of Elah, Rendition, Green Zone, Lions for Lambs, The Kingdom, No End in Sight, Stop Loss, Redacted, Fahrenheit 911, even Avatar. The presentation of The Thin Red Line was a far departure from the books that it was supposedly based on, showing US troops as hopelessly incompetent. Most of these were box office bombs, but the press and the media critics ate them up." I'd even lump in Star Trek: Into Darkness in there as one of the antagonists is a crazed Admiral (Admiral Robocop) who wants to militarize Star Fleet.

115 Weird how food is different for siblings raised in the same house. Mom never let us have sugary cereal, and I never let my kids have it, unless we were camping, for a treat. My sister has raised her kids exactly opposite, letting them eat junk all day long, because she thinks they'll have food issues otherwise. Not sure how that will go, since her kids are still teenagers eating junk, and mine are grown with very healthy food habits. My neighbor raised her kids the way my sis does, and hers grew up to be very healthy eaters, so who knows.

116 It's semi-lame, but: grilled cheese sammich! so anyway, at my previous employer, we had a tradition of having a group pot-luck lunch every Thursday. Everyone, from the VP's to Management to us cube-farm dwellers to the guys out in the shop chimed in. Summer-time, we grilled something outside. When Fall hit and the weather turned sour, everyone wondered what we were going to do. I suggested "Grilled Cheese Sammich & Tomato Soup Day". It was a great hit; I brought in my Geo.Foreman Grille™, some one brought in a crock pot for the soup, everyone chipped in with a variety of breads and cheeses. Splendid. So on Friday, I'm sittin' in my cube I detect the distinctive whiff of a George Foreman Grille™ heating up (if you own one, you know what I mean). I wandered back to the break-room to find one of the guys from the shop making a grilled cheese sammich from the left-overs. Seems he had forgotten his lunch and was short on cash and decided to improvise. From that day forward, someone has made a grilled cheese sammich every day. I would clean the Geo.Foreman™ a couple of times a week, and made a point of there always being a loaf of bread and some cheese in the fridge. Not altruism, I needed a grilled cheese sammich almost every day.

144 An anti-military movie that's still incredibly good is... Stanley Kubrick's early-career feature from 1958, "Paths of Glory." It's the flick that got Kirk Douglas (who played the hero, Colonel Dax) to hire Kubrick for "Spartacus." Also, it ends with a great cameo by Katharina Harlan, who later became Mrs. Kubrick.

The funny thign is that the year my mom died, we were all together for teh first time as grown women during Thanksgiving. I was in charge of the meal, but my sister was around, "sanitizing" every g-d thing out of fear of food poisoning. It was so exhausting cooking with her cleaning every two seconds.

187 Anybody try that new super-spicy chicken sandwich at Jack-in-the-Box yet? I tried it last night. Not nearly as spicy as I thought it might... probably just my heat tolerance. Anyway it was still pretty good.

188 @156 Y-not. I liked bubble gum ice cream too. When I was 8 we were visiting my grandparents, and they took us to Baskin Robbins. Of course I got the bubblegum ice cream. But my Grandpa wouldn't let us back in the car with the ice cream, so we had to eat it there.  Bubble gum ice cream is REALLY hard to eat quickly due to the little chunks of frozen gum in it. I don't remember much about my Grandpa, but I do remember having to throw away my ice cream before I was done. There may have been tears involved.

Posted by: ParanoidGirlinSeattle at April 16, 2014 11:09 PM (RZ8pf) I can see that. The period does interest me and the first episode was alright, but the second is - you're right - boring as hell. And what the hell is George Washington doing popping up in these scenes? Is someone setting up a George Washington waterboarded meme? Oh, he disapproved of information extraction. Or, did he? I'm DVRing it, but I may not keep it. We'll have to see where it goes.

227 I'm still giving Turn a chance. I've found 1/3 intriguing; 1/3 average; and 1/3 had me laughing my ass off, sometimes for the wrong reasons from the show's point of view, but even then I enjoyed the LMAO parts. So far it hasn't been Rebel Patriot propaganda; and both sides have been shown as deadly earnest because they're fighting a war so that's fine with me. The minor inaccuracies I don't mind turning a blind-eye to although they managed to work a fag into the show. I'll see how that works out.

Still, I wish they would have made the main British bad guy fictional however as Simcoe founded Toronto (and if they kill him off in the show I won't be getting the first Monday in August off!!!) and a regiment of infantry that has a modern-day descendant, and freed the slaves/banned the slave trade in what would become Ontario even before the French Revolutionaries did so.

And as an addendum: funny how Canadian, Leslie Nielsen, played Swamp-fox Marion in the old TV show where the Loyalists Tories were the bad guys.

261 "Where Your Tax Dollars Are Going: Mostly to other people to spend."

In the UK, as of this year, the Inland Revenue will send each taxpayer a new personalized statement showing how much tax they paid, and how that money was actually spent by the government.

For example:

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02871/Taxtable_2871682d.jpg

This is an example worth emulating in the USA.

If only because it will help get rid of the ridiculous crap from liberals about how "half of the federal budget is spent on the military, man". That shows up absolutely fucking endlessly. Sometimes they claim it's more than half the budget.

I can't tell you how many times I have patiently sat down and worked out the actual percentages on military spending and provided a detailed rebuttal.

Then they'll come back with, "But you're not including the VA, man. Or NASA. Or the Department of Energy nuclear weapons stuff."

Well, by no means is all of NASA or DOE military related, but you can go ahead and lump them in with the VA and lump that in with the DOD and it's _still_ not anywhere near half of the budget.

Then they insist on including CIA and NSA. (Which aren't the fershlugginer military! But put them in regardless. Still not 50% of the budget.)

And the thing is, when they're finally cornered, and I think they're about to give up, there's the undisprovable assertion. That the remaining huge chunk of money must be in "hidden black programs" not disclosed to Congress by the military.

So, um, how is that money getting into the accounts of the hidden programs? And where could it be coming from so that it could never be traced back? Some account somewhere must get debited in the end.

"I don't know, man, but those Pentagon types are sneaky."

Maybe not that particular stick.

But all you need is a modestly medically attested injury that occasionally might limit you in getting around. Perhaps just a bad sprain that never healed quite right. You can then obtain and carry a nicely crafted heavy hardwood cane with a nonslip grip that'll fracture someone's skull in one hearty swing. It's not a weapon. It's a "mobility aid".

And if anyone in Assholechusetts officialdom gives you any guff about that, you can introduce them to your rude asshole lawyer who will be promptly filing suit against them for eleventy quintillion dollars.

Posted by: Colorado Alex

 

-----------

 

Well, they're considered 'on call' if they drive their squad car home.

 

Not sure about the firearm....that's a good question.

 

The thing about the squad car came up years ago, when the Congress passed a law to tax people's 'Employer Provided Benefits' such as being assigned a car.

 

In order for them to avoid paying taxes on driving their squad cars home...officers were deemed to be 'on call'.

In that meme, the GOP was going to basically die away because we were all so enamored of Obama's creased pants. Then 2009, 10, and 11 happened, but the media kept the meme alive because a President won re-election (which is the norm) in 2012 while losing seats in the House and Senate. The internal fighting in the GOP is pretty standard as the DC Republicans have pretty much been against the State Republicans for forever. It's why GOP governors have been successful (mostly) when running for Pres as opposed to GOP Senators who have been very unsuccessful. The Dems are going to have a bitch of a time in 2016 depending on who runs because every Dem group is saying "it's our time now", but each group still doesn't want to let another have it. Blacks have the nod now, and they want to keep it. Hispanics feel they should get it along with women, so someone is going to be pissed, and blacks may not support Hillary as enthusiastically as they did Obama.

Growing up, it was cereal for breakfast.


As I slowly started taking care of myself, it was more like a continental breakfast -- tea and a roll.


When I got serious about losing weight, it was a "real" low-carb breakfast like an omelet or bacon.....because the thing I used to hate about them -- "makes me feel bloated and full all day" -- was exactly why they were good for me.

Cereal was always something that was just...'there'...if we wanted it in addition to breakfast', as a sort of dessert.

 

But with Mom being a country girl, breakfast in our house always revolved around the Meat.

 

We didn't leave the house unless we'd eaten at least a few strips of bacon, or a couple of pieces of sausage...or a piece of ham.

 

I didn't realize at the time how blessed we were.

My brothers and I, have never had a 'weight problem' as adults...and I think that these early eating habits may have had something to do with it.

"Equality and Humanity" followed at 2:15 and "Alternate Mathematics" rounded out my day! I was told that I could "Make a Difference"!! When I started my business called, "Vaginal Relocation", I wondered why it failed. I was a stoopid!!!

355 George Clooney is a special snowflake. He made my teeth grind on ER, but I know he believed himself to be the second coming of John Barrymore. And, trust me, we are not dealing with a genius IQ. I just could not sit through a Clooney movie in a theatre without heavy medication and/or the ability to stompy-boot through the screen. However, I have often considered buying the DVD for "The Perfect Storm" and "Gravity" because he 'doesn't make it' in both of those films. That's what I would call a 'feel good' moment. But I did laugh at the joke that the reason George floated away in 'Gravity' was because he would rather die than spend time with a woman his own age.

358 @340, Vendette, that is funny. I live in Minnesota now. I don't know that cereal, but I know that the North Stars were the hockey team here before they moved to Texas. Posted by: SnowyBits at April 17, 2014 12:00 AM (tIBVf) It was a cereal that Gretzky put his mug upon prior to the trade in 1988. It has nothing to do with the Minnesota North Stars. Personally, Dallas, Phoenix, and one of the two Florida teams don't deserve to be in the NHL.

359 Today you only hear from the Republicans for 3 reasons: i) to announce how they'd like to "work with" obama ii) to denounce a fellow R or a conservative iii) to make an apology ---- I have not heard Perry, Walker, Pence, Cruz, Lee do any such thing. Obviously, there are elements of the Republican party that actively undermine the conservative base. Nothing new there. But there are also some good ones. But I'm open to the idea of wishing for the party's death so that we can shed certain elements and build a new party of conservatives. In the long run, that may be the best course.

372 Chavez the Hugo, My brother is in the hospital again, he's been on oxygen since December. I don't remember if you were around last year at this time & I'm sorry. He was so sick that hospital in Maine called me to ask if they could admit him on March 31,2013 @ five something am. I told them they could treat him. A doctor called a few hours later to say he thought it was urinary tract infection & they put him on ventilator. The next days it was same infection, strep in longs & blood. After six days of ICU nurses I called & said we are Catholic & I want him to have Last Rites. Nurse wrote in his chart for doctor to speak with me. Blood infections are nearly almost deadly, but after 10-12 days they got him off ventilator & he couldn't move any part himself & he was screwed up from drugs to keep him quiet for ventilator, it took a week & then they did full body MRI, infection was in cervical,spine. Surgeon had to remove 3 discs & now he's a quadraphonic. He has 3 kids but was a lousy father & they do pint really care.my older brother is great to me, but will not speak about younger one. It's a frigging horrible situation & I know my younger brother always & 99% of the time only cares about himself. But he's stuck in Maine & I get all the calls. He's having breathing issues since December & on oxygen all the time. He's spent last year plus # of days in hospital or rehab, which is nursing home. I got call Monday morning that he was having extreme issues breathing & his heartbeat was too fast. He's making me lose sleep & fall asleep while posting on ONT. He has double pneumonia again, it's a monthly thing. He'll go to hospital, stay & be on picline antibiotics, back to rehab & it starts all over again

I don't know about the "scientific consensus" [for all I know, they're still worshipping Gaia], but I'm getting pretty convinced that the problem is carbs -- just like they used to say in the time of Dickens. And the more refined the carbs, and less diluted with fiber, the worse they are for you. We've gained a new term, "glycemic index", but otherwise it really seems to be coming down to the conventional wisdom from roughly 800BC - 1920AD -- breads and sweets will kill you. And high-fructose corn syrup is the bleeding edge of what is bad -- your tongue tastes all of the sweetness, but your body only recognizes half of it to prepare digestion, so half of it spikes your blood sugar with no warning.

396 "X-Men" director Bryan Singer has been sued by a man who claims Singer molested him when he was a young teenager at raunchy Hollywood parties. The lawsuit claims the teen -- who is now around 30 -- was lured to a mansion in Encino, CA when he was 14 or 15 to attend a party that allegedly had a rep for featuring "sexual contact between adult males and the many teenage boys who were present for the parties." The lawsuit claims Singer provided alcohol for the boy and offered him a role in one of his upcoming movies, and then told him how "this group" controls Hollywood. The suit claims Singer performed oral sex on the boy and then strong-armed the boy to return the favor -- allegedly forcing him to perform the act underwater in the pool. The suit goes on to accuse Singer of providing the boy with drugs -- including coke -- on another occasion, allegedly promising him a role in an "X-Men" flick. We contacted a rep for Singer who said they just received the lawsuit. So far, no comment.

For this and other reasons, humans aren't well adapted to the colossal amount of fructose which modern food engineering has produced at the plant level and introduced into our diets. Fructose is not encountered in nature in anything like these quantities.

The obesity spike among adult Americans correlates quite strongly with the growth of use of HFCS in foods starting in the 1970s.

Once I was at a concert with a bunch of friends, and of course we were passing a bowl back and forth. A guy in the row behind us tapped me on the shoulder and said, "I'm an undercover cop. Don't do that in front of me."

So we put it away and none of us got arrested. I suppose it was pretty decent of him giving us fair warning like that.






Simular story but when I saw the cop (in uniform) I quickly put the bowl in my pocket. Cop says, What? Am I gonna arrest all 20,000 of ya. Just don't be stupid."

426 396 "X-Men" director Bryan Singer has been sued by a man who claims Singer molested him when he was a young teenager at raunchy Hollywood parties. I guess I should have guessed he was a gay man, because certain people could not shut up about how X-Men was some sort of gay allegory. I didn't care. It was a good movie, and I enjoyed it, and there was no whacking over the head with a message that I could see (OK, maybe 90 seconds somewhere in there). There's an interesting topic -- movies intended to convey a message that wound up not so much conveying the message as just being good. Aliens is another. Cameron apparently intended that as some sort of allegory of the ineffectuality of the military, you know, they go in with spirit and wind up at "game over." But the movie turned out great anyway, and the intended message didn't really end up in the front at all. Anyone got other examples?

Been doing a little reading about the 'Desert Tortoise'...

 

It's not currently on the Endangered Species list.

And I cannot find any evidence that it ever has been!

 

It's been considered "threatened"...in certain areas, like the Mojave Desert.

And another desert, Sonora (?) I think it was.

 

But because it was declared 'threatened' in those two areas...the Desert Tortoise was put on the Threatened List.

It is doing rather well in other areas.

 

So all these media people who keep referring to the Desert Tortoise as...

"The endangered Desert Tortoise"...are just repeating a lie, I guess.

 

Because I can find no evidence of it being on the 'Endangered' list.

Not now...and not ever.

 

So, kicking Ranchers off of the Open Range because a turtle looks even more bogus than ever.

430 "Libs said the same thing when Bush got elected. 'How did this happen? Nobody I know voted for him!'"

Pauline Kael famously said that about Nixon.

The "big sort" was already well underway by the late 1960s. Where geographic and economic mobility allowed people of particular political bents to gravitate towards one another.

And once there, to stay in a shared bubble of belief, having little or no social contact with those of differing belief.

Still going on. Accelerating, mayhaps.

431 I would say that the "interior" has eroded, as far as conservatives are concerned. While most of us are "out there", (trying to make a living), the "progressives" have been busy infiltrating the areas of propaganda vital to the message. The foundation of the country is being undermined, slowly, by "Our Betters". They will eventually run out of juice, because their message is false. What we need to do, (in the meantime), is continue the ridicule of their ideas, ideals and methods. Libertarians have paved the way, as classic "Liberals" aren't even that anymore. The internet has started the decline of NBC, ABC, CBS and other areas of Pure Propaganda. When Stand-Up Comedians start ridiculing "The State", driven by Pure Market Forces? You'll start to see the "turn". Classic "Liberals" will understand "The State", as they have always understood the classic line, "Stay Out of My Bedroom!" When they figure out that Government is in their driveway, garage, stairs, kitchen, lighting ...etc? They'll start to understand. The media will eventually follow. They cannot fiscally describe otherwise, lest the Government sponsor their lies.

Oh yeah, cthulhu...I agree.

And it makes sense, too, doesn't it.

 

These bodies of ours evolved over centuries of eating lots of Protein.

Carbs were hard to come by.

 

And processed, over-refined carbohydrates weren't in the picture at all.

Our bodies don't really know what to do with them...except 'store them'.

 

Our species' ability to store fat is one of the reasons why we survived, though.

People often had to go hungry for long periods of time.

 

So we have this 'Store' program, built into us.

What we don't burn up immediately goes into 'store'...and unfortunately, our sedentary lifestyles don't burn the calories that we need to burn and stay at a healthy weight.

457 396 "X-Men" director Bryan Singer has been sued by a man who claims Singer molested him when he was a young teenager at raunchy Hollywood parties. The lawsuit claims the teen -- who is now around 30 -- was lured to a mansion in Encino, CA when he was 14 or 15 to attend a party that allegedly had a rep for featuring "sexual contact between adult males and the many teenage boys who were present for the parties." The lawsuit claims Singer provided alcohol for the boy and offered him a role in one of his upcoming movies, and then told him how "this group" controls Hollywood. The suit claims Singer performed oral sex on the boy and then strong-armed the boy to return the favor -- allegedly forcing him to perform the act underwater in the pool. The suit goes on to accuse Singer of providing the boy with drugs -- including coke -- on another occasion, allegedly promising him a role in an "X-Men" flick. We contacted a rep for Singer who said they just received the lawsuit. So far, no comment. Posted by: Bill Clinton at April 17, 2014 12:15 AM (zOTsN) This is Hollywood. Young actors and actresses are nothing but sexual gratification vessels for Hollywood power brokers. It has been going on since the first movie was filmed in Hollywood. The PTB in L.A. have turned the other way for decades because of the amount of money it brings in to the state and localities. Those in the entertainment business used to be looked down on as deviants, but after the advent of movies that everyone could go and see, some started treating them as the new royalty. The morals of those in the entertainment business have never changed, so they just go on being deviants and getting protected. It's why those in Hollywood celebrate Roman Polanski and ridicule Mel Gibson.

493 The Apt Pupil incident in 1998:from Wikipedia Lawsuit[edit] For Apt Pupil, Bryan Singer filmed a shower scene in which Todd Bowden, saturated with horrific stories from Kurt Dussander, imagines his fellow showering students as Jewish prisoners in gas chambers.[34] The scene was filmed at Eliot Middle School in Altadena, California on April 2, 1997, and two weeks later, a 14-year-old extra filed a lawsuit alleging that Singer forced him and other extras to strip naked for the scene. Two boys, 16 and 17-years-old each, later supported the 14-year-old's claim. The boys claimed trauma from the experience, seeking charges against the filmmakers including infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and invasion of privacy.[35] Allegations were made that the boys were filmed for sexual gratification.[36] The local news shows and national tabloid programs stirred the controversy. A sexual crimes task force that included local, state, and federal personnel investigated the incident. The Los Angeles District Attorney's office determined that there was no cause to file criminal charges,[28] stating, "The suspects were intent on completing a professional film as quickly and efficiently as possible. There is no indication of lewd or abnormal sexual intent."[36] The civil case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence.[37] The scene was filmed again with adult actors so the film could finish on time.[

Except for walrus/seals but they have to be pretty bold to get one. Another cool clip they showed was Orcas getting a seal off the ice flow. They would first line up 3 across and go in unison to get their bow wave to tip the ice until the seal fell in. First try didn't do it so they multiplied the line.

Posted by: wheatie at April 17, 2014 12:49 AM (fAjDo) It was the old network cancels show, viewers go viral to save show, do, show comes back and ratings still suck, but since network gave it a renewal, they let the show runners to actually come up with an ending to the series. They do. But wait! SciFi channel was said to be interested in new episodes of the show! So they can't quite have the finale be the finale because if it gets picked up by new net, it would be a season finale, but if not picked up, it becomes a series finale. But wait! Can't have some of these shows end because sometimes the network may decide to try and bring it back as a miniseries or a movie like 24. So yeah, the ending was fucked up, but by choice.

524 Conservative Crank, A straightforward solution to your dilemna. Buy em both. Then book an elk hunt. I am here to help. Have both wood and synthetic stocks on tikka rifles. Wood is prettier, the synthetic more durable. Get what you like best it is your discretionary purchase after all. Having said that the recoil on the win mag is significant. If this will be practice as well as hunting rifle that recoil will detract from the fun, and make practice something to avoid. Have fun with the choice. I'm eyeing a Sako .308 in lefty because I am convinced I need it. Smooth and accurate just like the Tikka. Both owned by Berretta BTW. Looking forward to talking shotguns next!

Elmer proceeding to battle in finest Wagnerian form.

Yeah ,as I'm finding out. I get both yes and no from different people when I ask. One told me "it has to be the kind you boil, not this instant sweetened shit". I have both, but I would rather lean on the ones that work a little better. I don't have high cholesterol, but I did lower it 20 points when I made an effort using the old fashioned kind, but the instant is nice and fast.

more from the book ...

 

The White House scenes are some of the more revealing inside tales Warren relays in her new memoir, “A Fighting Chance,” in which Warren portrays herself as an idealistic outsider, persistently fighting the excesses and political power of Wall Street.

 

which is odd because she is funded by wall street lawyers and the regs she designs entrench wall street's political power.

Posted by: rich@gmu at April 16, 2014 11:09 PM (RhQvZ)

590

morning pixy.

 

even more warren:

 

"In fact, the list of WarrenÂ’s top donors is practically a roll call of lawyers up to their ears in the arcana of structured finance,  mortgage-backed securities, and general Wall Street shenanigans. The first guys to securitize credit-card debt? Elizabeth Warren donors. Big banks back Brown, you say? What about the worldÂ’s largest and most influential investment firm? Yes, BlackRock backs Professor Warren. Any time you have Moveon.org and Wall Street on the same side, you should hide your assets."

 

good grief she is going to be president.

609 Wow. Just came across this for anyone still up: Eyewitness account of Bundy Ranch standoff. Doug Ross' Blog: http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2014/04/eyewitness-blm-scared-crapless-by.html FTA: Men, who I suspect were special forces, had climbed the ridge from the back side and captured the snipers. They were at that moment coming down the ridge to take them to Mesquite where they would be let go. They werenÂ’t prisoners, they were just going to be replaced by friendlies. Ooo-fuckin'-raaaahhhh......

614 Lots of people forget that we are churning out combat tested Vets on a monthly basis. Coming to the end of their enlistment, and being discharged. This includes women who just months ago might have been carrying weapons on a daily basis. And upon returning to civilian life are told that an AR-15 is an evil tool of the devil, that no woman could ever master. And many of them silently respond with those immortal words... "That's retarded...Sir"

617 Oh, I forgot the periodic ammo update. Strange pattern for the last seven days or so. 22lr at prices below .10 per round have dropped off the map for the week. But strangely, 9mm is popping up more frequently then I have seen in several months at less then .28 per round for brass case FMJ. Usually, that price will get you either steel case, or reloads.
