"LITTLE HITLERS: There is, as every petty official knows, a great deal of pleasure to be had from the obstruction of others, especially if they appear to be more fortunate, better placed, richer, or more intelligent than oneself. There is a pleasure in naysaying, all the greater if the naysayer is able to disguise from the victim the fact that he is not only doing his duty but gratifying himself. Indeed, there are many jobs, meaningless in themselves, in which the power to say no is the only non-monetary reward."
The program is supposedly only for citizens or legal resident aliens, but in reality no one's checking. It will all run on the honor system, at the insistence of the dishonorable. The taxpayer will be robbed blind and anyone who doesn't like it is a bad Christian, anti-American, and of course racist.
After his prepared remarks, Scalia took questions from eager law students who lined the aisles of the theatre. His remarks there were more candid, pointing to the Washington, D.C. v. Heller opinon - a second-amendment case - as his proudest moment on the court.
When another students asked about the constitutionality of income tax, he assured the student that the government could, in fact, take his money.
"But if reaches certain point, perhaps you should revolt," Scalia advised the young man.

Media Matters Loves Unions and Big Labor
But not among their staff.
Media Matters for America is apparently resisting an effort by Service Employees International Union Local 500 to unionize its staff.Last week, the union filed a representation petition with the National Labor Relations Board, indicating that the nonprofit media watchdog organization rejected an effort by the union to organize MMFA's staff through a Card Check election.
...MMFA has regularly presented itself as a supporter of organized labor. It has argued that "economists point to declining union participation as one cause of the growing economic rift in America" and claimed it was a fact that "unions increase productivity [and] do not reduce business competitiveness."
So why the objection, MM?
Meanwhile the NLRB wants to give unions a veto over an employer's decision to relocate.
- The Italian Tourist Board spends an astounding 98 percent of its budget on salaries, with basically nothing left for its actual job of tourism promotion.
- There are trains in the Mezzogiorno that travel at an average speed of 8.7 miles an hour.
- Metaponto, in the Basilicata region east of Naples, has a five-track, marble-clad rail station, paid for by $25 million in European Union funds. But the last train out is an 8:21 a.m. express to Rome. If you want to go anywhere else, you have to take a bus.
Powdered Alcohol is Coming to a Liquor Store Near You
A new product that's somehow been approved by US regulators makes booze as discreet as a packet of sugar. It's called Palcohol, and it transforms a shot of vodka or rum into a pocketable pouch of powder. Tear it open, add some water, mix, and you've got hard liquor. Considering the age group that Palcohol is going to appeal to, however, the sweet, pre-mixed powders are probably going to be far more popular. To start off, the company plans to make margarita, mojito, cosmopolitan, and lemon drop flavors.

Thank you FDA for solving a non-existent problem and costing everyone money.
Eventually, we conservatives grow comfortable enough around them to return to our old patterns. We scratch and fight and do our gorilla things and the chronicler dutifully takes notes. The notes eventually make their way into an article for the New York Times or The New Yorker or Vanity Fair.
"Who knew?" the readers will say over their morning bagels and coffee in Southampton or Fire Island, "I had no idea conservatives were such intelligent creatures. Why they even have the capacity for emotion and even some rudimentary forms of kindness."

I give you the Stanford Prison Experiment. Take a bunch of college students. Run them through a battery of tests to make sure they are on the level. Then randomly select which ones become inmates while others got to dress in khakis and be prison guards. Needless to say things went off the rails rather quickly.

I am consistently and cynically amused by the instances in which unions are aggressively picketing a particular employer who will not accede to their demands, but the union goons are too lazy to show up in person for long shifts in the hot sun carrying signs, so they "outsource" the picketing work to illegal aliens being paid far below the existing wage, much less the wage the union goons want to be paid.
There's a larger metaphor here for the parlous state of the 21st century USA-SSR slowly rotting from within.

it's not about raising the cost of beer, it's about denying cattle and hog ranchers another source of affordable fodder. This FDA regulation is about raising the price of meat until the peasants cannot afford it.
The FDA is doing the same as the BLM. Forcing up the cost of raising stock.

I recall the case of a woman who was married, and she and her husband had been blessed with no fewer than six sons. In a small house with one bathroom.
Rather than her lowering herself to lower the seat from what logic would dictate would be a regularly raised state, she instead insisted that her husband install a urinal.
This actually worked out fairly well.

We had just done a hike on the "Chainsaw Trail" at Sanborn (it's officially "Unmaintained Service Road" and not actually a trail at all). We helped two people who were unsure if it actually led anywhere -- the park was wildly crowded. When we left, I don't know if there was a single parking space left.
Anyway, we were heading down the hill and got passed by a guy on a red bike. Went down a bit more and found guy down, bike, and other car in middle of road. From later discussion, the rear derailleur caught the chain and locked the rear wheel, taking him from about 35 mph to nearly a stop before he exited bike. As we drove up, the tire blew (having been nearly worn through)
I pulled mostly off the road, rolled down windows, and asked if I needed to hit 911. Guy said, "no -- but could use a ride home", BH said, "done", and in a trice we had the bike in the back of the wagon, the BH in the rear seat, and the guy in the front seat.
He was wondering if he'd broken left wrist -- turns out, he'd done an over-the-handlebars about 10 years ago that broke both simultaneously (which has to suck, hard -- you can't even wipe your ass effectively). I pointed out the the increased bone mass from healing that one may have saved him a break on this go-around.
So we got him and the remains of his bike back to his apt by DeAnza, and that was our Happy Easter Good Samaritan Opportunity of the Day.

This.
Meanwhile, over the weekend, in news relevant to the FDA, the Republican response to Obama's weekly radio address was performed by the increasingly sad and decrepit Lamar Alexander. Who invited us to imagine a world in which the IRS, the FDA, and the Labor Department, instead of impeding and harassing and fining us, instead "enable" us.
FUCK. NO.
I don't for one second wish to be "enabled" in any degree by the likes of those agencies. I want them to be destroyed. I can think of no positive function whatsoever which is performed by any of those three which could not be either (a) done without or (b) done more effectively by private means.
Meanwhile, the GOP brain trust (Top. Men.) fret about making sure that turnout is at its peak this fall. If we get more of this lame-ass establishment Beltway Republican bullshit about the federal Leviathan "enabling" us, I'm going to stay home and take a header off the diving board into a wading pool full of Val-U-Rite on Election Day.

I was going to send you an email. My next door neighbors are Italian & grow fresh vegetables, they have best tomatoes. I spoke with one on the phone a few weeks ago & told her about your roasted tomatoes. She had never heard of it & said it sounded delicious. Anna said the only tomatoes that they'll buy that taste good are Kumato tomatoes. They're brown, I made roasted tomatoes with them during the week, they were delicious.

Good on the eldritch horror and BH for having stepped up on this.
For those not experienced with the greater SF Bay Area, the foothills and mountains to the west of Silicon Valley are absolutely flipping amazing places to hike, bike, and motorcycle. Beautiful views. Fresh air. Canyons. Trees. Wildlife up to and including mountain lions.
I am basically just down to hiking at this point after so many horrific two-wheeled accidents on those roads (in a few of which I was an active but unwilling participant). Californians can't drive for shit. Don't put your own fragile body anywhere that a Californian might run over it.
Hiking trails, maybe you're okay. But I nearly got killed on a bicycle once at sunset on a paved trail here, where a pair of county sheriff's deputies hauling ass the other way in a big SUV (no lights, nothing) nearly turned me into a hood ornament. They didn't even slow down as I dumped the bike into a ravine full of poison oak to get out of their way. Still don't know what the fuck that was about.

There were several distinguished units of field artillery completely staffed by black troops during WWII. One set a record for rapidity of fire, and while running the relay between volleys, used to call out, "Rommel, count your men!"
On my very worst days, I use that as a kind of battle cry. It encourages the troops wonderfully.

An episode of _Dirty Jobs_ with Mike Rowe has him shoveling out a huge cascade of rancid ice cream from Las Vegas casino buffets, on a hog farmer's property. The hogs are happy with that.
One can only imagine, absent Smell-O-Vision, what it must be like to produce that series. There was a hilarious piece that Rowe narrated about what was the worst single episode they had filmed, a fish gutting plant, where his producer and the crew members were all bent over projectile vomiting in the parking lot upon arrival, before any of them even so much as set a foot inside the building.

torque, cool to know that the employee had it right on the food going to the hogs. I once spent a couple of January days at a Minnesota sugar beet processor; the stench is so heavy in the air that it seems like you could cut it with a knife. But you get used to it (sorta). Everything I brought with me picked up the stank too; the airplane ride home was not amusing to my fellow passengers. The wife got one whiff of my clothes when I got home and made me change in the utility room.

Back when I worked for a national accounting firm, they had an audit client in the Central Valley of California that was The Audit From Hell. People would do anything not to be assigned to it -- reputedly including having friends run over their feet with cars.
Sad thing is, they were really nice people doing business in a serious value-added way. The books were usually squeaky-clean, and they were never hostile.
But their line-of-business was rendering animal carcasses for tallow, their month-end was August, and their inventory was a large blacktop parking lot with numbered stalls, many containing piles of roadkill, feedlot culls, veterinary refuse, and slaughterhouse rejects. It was often over 100 degrees out there, and auditors would have to do test-counts.

Oh, you had a bathroom. An indoor one.
We would have _loved_ to have had that. It would have been like a palace to us!
Instead, all two hundred twenty of us had to use the same outdoor privy. And swim under ice floes fighting off leopard seals to get to it. And the paper, when there was any, which was only on alternate Tuesdays in the summer, was forty grit.
Sit to pee? Only if you weren't scared of the ice weasels taking a nip of your junk.

My friends dad had 3 Vet clinics that he ran, and one time I helped my friend pick up pets at each clinic that have met their ends. We took them all to a place in South St Paul called Van Hoven. What I saw cannot be unseen. In a cavernous warehouse type building was the biggest, rankest pile of death I ever witnessed. The guy that assisted us in unloading was so immune to the smell and everything associated with the place that he seemed like a zombie. Threw these passed pets like he was chucking firewood. It was surreal.

It's described as being "in the heart of a thriving area".
Well, thriving if by "thriving" you mean drive-by shootings on a regular basis.
I drove around that neighborhood in concentric circles, keeping my head well down and trying to find the nearest operating retail business. The closest thing was a ratty corner liquor store, the kind of place where the cashier is behind bulletproof Lexan with a slide drawer for cards and cash.
As with the abandoned Detroit rail station, grand architectural magnificence that it's possibly worth your life to get near.

These are some of the measures — some would say gimmicks — that golf courses across the country have experimented with to stop people from quitting the game.
Many of golfÂ’s leaders are so convinced the sport is in danger of following the baby boomer generation into the grave that an internal rebellion has led to alternative forms of golf with new equipment, new rules and radical changes to courses. The goal is to alter the gameÂ’s reputation in order to recruit lapsed golfers and a younger demographic.

With their heads all filled with ticky-tacky

And they all sound just the same.

Slapweasel,
thank you for your lovely blessings. I drove 1 1/2 hours one way to deliver and cook the turkey & stuffing & all for my Dad today, and was blessed with the company there, my baby bro and wife and his boys and had a lovely day. I sort of got stubborn and refused to finish the clean up because work tomorrow, but I think they will handle it.
And yes, it was because of LOVE and love alone that I did it.
I hope everyone here had a lovely day on the anniversary of our Lord's resurrection as I did.

Get some very fine copper wire, say #30. Fine as hair. Get an electric fencer, or some other source of (non-lethal) high voltage. Glue wire to toilet in places where errant piss might reach, but not where a "legitimate sitter's" butt might touch. Energize wire from electric fencer.

Best doctor I had told me that the longer you are under anesthesia, the longer it takes to just get over the surgery. That's not including medical reason for surgery.
Mero told me his best doctor either died or was going to, mine was arrested for being a drunk & drug addict. I had no clue or I would not have let him cut my neck two months before he was arrested. I'm sure he was effed up during surgery but he did a great job! Posted by: Carol at April 21, 2014 12:25 AM (gjOCp) Hide posts from (gjOCp)
Time was, it didn't matter if you were drunk, an addict, or had syphilis if you could compose great music......now, the PC crowd does anything it can to avoid discussing results.
Seriously, there are lots of stone-cold incompetents who work sober as a Methodist and kill people day-after-day, where drunks and drug-addicts can do elegant, effective work day-after-day....and are being weeded out by drug-tests, leaving the sober in charge.

Unpossible.
I strove for years to develop such a theory. The Nobel committee surely would call.
Many convoluted back of bar napkin scribblings eventuated.
I gave up after a platinum-haired grand dame said to me, "Young man, _women_ don't know what women want. What are your odds of figuring it out?"

Among anesthesiologists, it's almost a stock in trade.

I wouldn't have let my former orthopedic surgeon cut me in front of my neck if I knew he was effed up.
Surgery wasn't to help neck pain, but give me back hand coordination. I lost ability to write, I could write, butt even I couldn't read it.
I would have preferred not knowing he was a drug addict, he never got to see scar on front of my neck healed. Three months later it was barely visible.
We talked several times since 2005 but last time I called I could tell from greeting on phone, he is high & probably in rehab again, or worse. Posted by: Carol at April 21, 2014 12:50 AM (gjOCp) Hide posts from (gjOCp)
I understand your point, but my point was somewhat more subtle. Let's say that you had a tremendously talented surgeon ("A") who was known to indulge in psychedelics, and you had a journeyman surgeon ("B") who was always sober and law-abiding.
If surgeon A was high 30% of the time, and had a "good high" 60% of those times, and had success rates of bad high, sober, and good high of 75, 85, and 95 points out of 100, he would statistically have an expected result of 85.6. If surgeon B were always sober, always straight, and had a steady success rate of 80 points, you should still prefer surgeon A.
Even though he's a druggie, he's still better than surgeon B 88% of the time, and when the psychedelics help him ["I just cut away everything that's blinking orange....."], he does outstandingly better (95 v. 80 points).....where even if he's freaking out he only does a little-bit worse (75 v. 80 points).
The problem is that it's nearly impossible to find performance data for healthcare providers, where it's all-too-easy to find out about their drug habits.
In a world of better information, I could easily see myself intentionally choosing a drug addict over an everyday bungler.

Let's just say that my beliefs fall in with "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."
Virtually everything the modern Left touches is riddled with failures and bad results, which they paper over with pious "good intentions." How I do despise them. Take, for instance, http://tinyurl.com/mrexcad -- bucketloads of money, negligible results....but we have to continue to hotly pursue this failure "for the children."
Just as the program "Sherlock" made famous the quip, "I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high-functioning sociopath; do your research." -- I'm somewhat rebellious against a government that finds that utopia must necessarily be staffed by perfect men. My utopia would be one where flawed men -- and, on this Easter, we can reflect on all of us being flawed -- can do the most Good. High-functioning sociopaths and drug-taking surgeons should be measured on the Good they do rather than the prudes they annoy.

It's part of the same batch of symptoms -- you cannot measure the actual benefit that people provide, so you fix upon a signifier.....then focus on the signifier even in the face of evidence that it doesn't actually measure any benefit.
You can't tell whether a random schmoe called "plumber" can fix a toilet, so you look to a system that supposedly provides qualified plumbers and get a journeyman......despite evidence that unions (that certify journeyman plumbers) are merely shakedown rackets, protection rackets, Democrats, price fixers, and thugs.

"Imperfection" measures the difference between expectation (or desire) and reality, and therefore measures the degree to which we have missed reality's mark. We are all perfectly what we are, no more and no less, and the challenge is to figure out just what that means.
Whether or not this framing can be of service in combatting leftism remains to be seen... Posted by: Piercello at April 21, 2014 02:00 AM (jJ97i) Hide posts from (jJ97i)
This illustrates one of the things that really annoys me. I got enough theology to be "sophisticated" and hang out with the cool and educated crowd.....but continued in my readings to understand the underpinnings to repentance, contrition, and redemption.
And to the extent that the "cool kids" pooh-pooh faith and a call to good works, I see them going profoundly astray. Just like I open paint cans with a screwdriver instead of the "proper" tool, faith and good works can open redemption and salvation quite adequately.

The last one I sent you was a drunken, (sincere, but inebriated), rushed version of Your Prayer.
I wrote the same tired, opaque verbiage in some "Athiests Prayer", some time ago.
I'd like to amend that Prayer.:
"As we find ourselves servants of Humanity, we Volunteer for those amongst us; the Orphans, the Indigent, the Elderly ...without recompense."
We give of ourselves sans compensation, so as to honor/give/love.
Three years and I'm just "green beans". I'm "cute", but I'm just green beans.
The elderly ladies have "Thanksgiving Lasagne" down pat.

They're a key looking like thing.
triangle at one end with a long shaft leading away (about 3/16th inch diameter and about 3-4" long)
that has a flat hook in it.
You use the hook part to lever up the edge of the paint can lid.
I used to see those for along time before I ever figured out they were for opening lids. I always use a screwdriver but a screwdriver will ruin the paint can lid edge and make it less likely to seal shut properly leading to dried paint inside the can.
Amazing ain't it?
