Happy SnowPatrick's Day.

The Most Transparent Administration Ever^TM has won the distinction of -- more than ever -- censoring or outright denying access to files under the Freedom of Information Act.

Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs had a moment of candor about the lack of candor from the White House on the possibility of losing the Senate: "I did the same thing a few years ago on your show and I still have tire tracks from Nancy Pelosi for saying what I thought."

Folks over at the Federalist noticed Obama's insane rambling about who is at fault for the high costs of the Unaffordable Care Act. Spoiler: it's Texas.

In foreign policy news, Crimea's parliament declared independence after the referendum at gunpoint. Formal recognition of the annexation of Crimea by Russia is expected to quickly follow.

21 Looks like a slow news day.

On the other hand, I am apparently able to purchase 22lr ammo at a price below what my local guy can get it for.

So low, that I can have it delivered to the door, get it to him, and he re-sell it locally at enough mark-up to actually make it profitable.

That is, if I wished to go that route.

52 First of all medicaid is bankrupting every state as it is, and the aca only bankrolls 100% of the expanded portion which reduces ovet time and will leave a gigantic hole in the budgets of states that accepted the expansion. When the fed portion begins to dry up those states are going to have to either throw people off medicaid or jack taxes up exorbitantly. Either way obama is an asshole and so are the people who put this evil fuck in office.

Guinness is wholly owned by an (I believe) Spanish combo called Diageo, Inc. I suspect their American distributors pushed this blackmail on them.

Their Election Commission said "Pshaw" to claims of voter fraud by the left; it was rumored that Al Franken personally counted all the votes.

75 Black and tan, you call it? Tells me what kind of Irish you are...

In the Easter Uprising, the "occupying" English and their militia (The Black and Tans) had a sudden need for mobile armor. The Arthur Guinness concern had some large new beer tanks just sitting there, and they just happened to fit on some available truck frames. With firing slits, they made efficient "crowd control" units. And that is where the term "tank" came from.

Certain true sons of the old sod never forgave Guinness their involvement.
There is a history to Jameson's and Bushmill's as well. Before you go loudly ordering in a "real" Irish bar, you just might want to read up on that.

76 Has anyone else seen academia start covering the Administration's bottom on the IRS targeting thing?

A lecture at Brown U's description:

The IRS has been accused of targeting the tax returns of ideological nonprofits -- particularly those who criticize the current administration -- for extra scrutiny. While many decry the practice as purely partisan, Washington will provide suggestive evidence of a more substantive justification for this practice. She will demonstrate a link between county residents' government disapproval and their level of tax evasion.

I'm afraid I don't know how to link.

There was an air france flight out of brazil that climbed to avoid a storm, got ice crystals in the pitot tube, aircraft stalled out, crew was compromised by lack of oxygen and crashed into the sea Doesnt eplain why someone turned off comm before climb.

85 Yesterday's annual St Paddy's Day breakfast in Boston, long a venue for Democrats to strut and preen and suck up to the Irish population of the city, was headlined by a "Haitian-American" woman, Linda Dorcena-Forry. Reportedly, the professional Irishers just loooooved it.

I supposed having someone whose ancestors never got within a thousand miles of the Emerald Isle is the Wave of the Future. Might as well let teh Gheys join up now, so that all the old traditions are flushed away at once. Martin J Walsh would approve....

Of course True Equality won't happen until a contingent of defiant heteros have a place in the gay pride parade, and a pale-faced descendant of Sheriff Jim Clark is Grand Marshal of the MLK Day parade, but that's really asking too much. As Choom Boy constantly reminds us, middle-class whiteys exist only to pay for his giveaways to Victims everywhere.

We'll see what chess moves Bozo wrecks next. But Obummer's bluff was already called March 4th by Glazyev, President PutinÂ’s economic security advisor, complete with an unnamed source providing plausible deniability for the "diplomatic" Kremlin bureaucratic ass: 'MOI?!' "If sanctions are applied against state structures, we will be forced to recognize the impossibility of repayment of the loans that the US banks gave to the Russian structures. Indeed, sanctions are a double-edged weapon, and if the US chooses to freeze our assets, then our equities and liabilities in dollars will also be frozen. This means that our banks and businesses will not return the loans to American partners," Sergei Glazyev told reporters. Russia could switch to other currencies to curb its dependence on the United States. "We have wonderful economic and trade relations with our Southern and Eastern partners," he emphasized. "We will find a way not just to eliminate our dependence on the US but also profit from these sanctions." http://tinyurl.com/l2lvnxq "Mr. Glazyev has not been authorized to talk on behalf of the Russian government and especially to voice such unacceptable measures," an unnamed source in the Kremlin said (voice of russia). http://tinyurl.com/pzusqsy "Reset" Barry's way is overcharging - overbilling the USA.

160 WASHINGTON Â— In the predawn hours of July 18, 1966, Lance Cpl. Patrick (Bob) Gallagher was a long way from his home in County Mayo, Ireland, which he had left a few years earlier to live with an aunt in Lynbrook, L.I., and seek new opportunity in America. He was manning a defensive position near Cam Lo, Vietnam, with three fellow Marines when an enemy grenade suddenly landed nearby. Gallagher reflexively kicked it away, and it exploded at a distance. A second grenade fell between two of GallagherÂ’s comrades. He dove on it to shield them as they fled to safety. Then a third and fourth grenade landed and exploded Â— but the one beneath Gallagher did not. RELATED: NEW YORK CITY'S ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE SET TO KICK OFF He got up and hurled it into a nearby river, where it detonated as it hit the waterÂ’s surface. For his heroism, Gallagher received the Marine CorpsÂ’ second-highest honor, the Navy Cross. Sadly, the 22-year-oldÂ’s luck would not last. Eight months later, just weeks before he was to leave Vietnam, he was killed in a firefight in Da Nang. Gallagher is believed to be the warÂ’s highest-decorated Irish immigrant, and the story of his bravery has lived on, retold by Vietnam vets, especially Irish-Americans, as perhaps it will be again this St. PatrickÂ’s Day. Now, a movement is growing to honor Gallagher in a more permanent way, by getting the military to name a ship after him, and issue a posthumous Medal of Honor. FYI

195 Russian arms officials will arrive in the United States on Monday to conduct an inspection of U.S. strategic nuclear facilities amid heightened tensions over MoscowÂ’s military incursion into Ukraine and a U.S. ultimatum to withdraw the forces. Additionally, a team of Russian arms inspectors are set to arrive in San Francisco for the treaty-permitted inspection that will take place days after Moscow threatened to cancel similar U.S. inspections in Russia. The go-ahead for the inspection, which is being kept officially secret under rules outlined in the 2010 New START treaty, reflects the administrationÂ’s national security priority of supporting arms control treaties despite recent disclosures that Russia has failed to comply with several nuclear and military accords. RussiaÂ’s state-run RIA Novosti news agency reported March 8 that the Defense Ministry is considering a ban on U.S. nuclear inspections under the New START treaty if the administration suspends military cooperation with Russia over the Ukraine invasion. A State Department spokesman had no immediate comment. Not sure we can last 3 more years

Nicest thing you could say about TFGs non-existant foreign policy is characterizing it as half-baked Isolationism.

Not saying anybody wants to be nice about it, but the angle has its own uses. This is what capital-L Libertarianism might look like in the absence of credible deterrence, for one. Also it absolutely earns the "19th century in the 21st century world" slam.

201 Christians in the U.S. military are being told they must forfeit their First Amendment rights. Bible verses are being erased from cadetsÂ’ personal dorm-room white boards, and military lawyers claim that legal protections for religion only pertain to matters such as clothing and growing beards but do not extend to any religious expression such as talking about one's faith or posting a Bible verse. Last year Breitbart News broke the story of a campaign by anti-Christian extremists to suppress traditional Christian expression within the U.S. military. There were conflicting stories regarding the possible court martial of service members who share the gospel of Jesus Christ and confirmed reports of military chaplains being officially censored, as well as Bibles temporarily banned from the Walter Reed military hospital. After these stories went viral on the Internet, Republicans in Congress launched an investigation, then introduced legislation to specify that religious expression is a protected right for men and women serving in uniform. Although President Obama originally threatened to veto the legislation, those protections were signed into law in December 2013. Now these new protections are being put to their first test. Military officers at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs are saying that the Obama-Hagel Pentagon does not regard these new protections as encompassing religious speech or writing. As such, cadets are not allowed to post Bible verses on their personal white boards in their dorm rooms. obama hates anything that made America great and, like it or not, Religion ( although not islam) has made America what it once was

So, Crimea "votes" to rejoin Russia. MH370 is still missing, and now we find out the pilot had a full flight simulator in his living room (because that's not weird at all). We get more "middle east peace talks" today, which is code for "Browbeat Israel until they agree to allow themselves to be destroyed by Palestinian whackjobs or else nuked by Iran." And another heavy snowfall has once again shut down the nation's capital.

219 125. FenelonSpoke, I tried unsuccessfully to like that musical effort. If they hadn't made a mess of a simple prayer inserting everything but the kitchen sink to cover all bases, I'd vote 1 thumb up for effort. Very fascinating history, Ireland. The various Celtic Tribes had emigrated Westward to the Atlantic from the Balkans originally, some settling along the way. It wasn't as if there ever were a pact between the tribes, given their constant warfare amongst "themselves". Contrary to our post-modern sensibilities, American in particular, they weren't utterly at a loss as to their origins and what they'd left behind, WHO they left behind, and what-and-who they'd migrated through en route to the coastal settlements that they variously established along the entire Atlantic, from below the proto-Viking territories, south all the way to northern Africa completing their tribal migration nearly encircling the Mediterranean by heading eastward from Morocco back towards the Berber region, part of the region that remained independent from Rome and included the Greek emigrants establishing the competing empire v. Rome. By the time the Celtic "Cruthin" barbarous warrior tribes were well established and populated in Ireland with chieftain kings, each wanting to be 'King of the Mountain', Ireland was rife with tribal wars when Patrick returned to preach Roman Catholicism. Timing is everything. Fields ripe, ready to harvest. http://tinyurl.com/ly5mfhb http://tinyurl.com/98qt5yb Skellig Michael is home to a 6th Century monastic settlement. This complex is perched on the steep sides of the larger of the two Skellig Islands, some 12 km off the coast of south-west Ireland. It illustrates the very spartan existence of the first Irish Christians. Since the extreme remoteness of Skellig Michael has until recently discouraged visitors, the site is exceptionally well preserved. That said, its precarious landscape didn't prevent the Vikings from raiding the isolated Skelligs as well as more prosperous non-monastic settlements along the coasts.

But... You know the saying, if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans? I had some things I really wanted to do before this anniversary, but instead, these past few days were filled with Real Life Family Drama (however manufactured or unnecessary it might be). Good thing hitting my website goals doesn't matter to anyone but me. Content, then! Here's when I once tried to start an online daily comic strip: http://mindfulwebworks.com/art-of/mind-fuel Good morning. Carry on. (Like this group needs that encouragement!)

Go ahead, try it.
