Friday Afternoon Miscellany/Open Thread
— DrewM

Lazy Friday afternoon in July+spotty internet connection=Not so much blogging.

A few thoughts to throw around....

Via John Noonan of the Weekly Standard, an interesting look at the precursor to the American Revolution (consider this your Military/American History Geekery warning).

Via Jim Treacher of the Daily Caller, they don't teach history so good at the part of Cornell Keith Olbermann went to.

And some guy left Cleveland for Miami. Um, who wouldn't do that if they had the chance?

Olbermann's first choice at cow college was animal husbandry. He was heart broken when he found out that didn't mean he could be a husband to an animal

He really loved his pet goat. I mean he really loved his pet goat.

Ah, yes: "the skulking way of war", alias Injun-style fightin'. By the mid 1700s Britain had forgotten how to fight a guerrilla campaign; it had become a naval power with a sideline in slaughtering Irish.

The Brits learnt the hard way that the North American continent is a little bigger than Ireland (or, for that matter, Nova Scotia), and the climate and terrain are not on an invader's side. To say the least.

It is okay.  Keith does not fuck the young farm animals.

30 I noticed a meme going around lately on message boards.
I'm not sure if it's new.
Basically it's the idea that higher taxation is reasonable because our government provided people and businesses the framework to make money. I agree that taxes are useful for infrastructure and defense and other things, but this argument can be used no matter how high the tax rates are.
A variation on this is that higher tax for more social services is reasonable because our ancestors put a lot of hard work into making this a good place to live and make trade. Sort of like standing on the shoulders of giants.
Has anyone else noticed this?

He also incriminated himself during the Megyn Kelley interview when he admitted the order came directly from him, which is what the whole federal case was based on to begin with, the organization as a whole, but of course that's  well after the fact. Funny thing is he claims that intelligence indicated that whites were going to stop blacks from voting at the polls. I wasn't aware that the NBPP had an intelligence gathering wing?

Not to mention the fact that they went to inner city polling places where blacks would well outnumber whites, so any notion that whites would be able to do anything of the sort is ridiculous. The bottom line is they went to these polling places to do the opposite and racially incite, pure and simple.

Thanks for that, Waterhouse; but I don't think it'll stop anyone. Remember that The Lord Of The Rings trilogy was stuffed to the proverbial rafters with moonbats: Mortenson, Tyler, Astin, etc etc etc. About the only actor in it describable as as a "con" was John Rhys-Davies.

Don't like Cleveland? Tough shit. We have our own complaints about the cesspools you fine people call home.  New York City especially.  Wonderful places like New Orleans and Chicago vie for the "murder capital" designation year in, year out.

We are the most loyal, dedicated fans in the country. We love our sports teams and we are unashamed of our support.  The Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, Severance Hall, and the world-renouned Cleveland Clinic call our city home.

124 Since we seem to be close to the end of mankind based on all of our doomsday posts, any one else see Book of Eli or The Road?


Book of Eli was a great movie and, as others have said, had a wonderful twist.  Was unusual in that it dealt with God and the Bible without the usual knee-jerk Hollywood snark, and the plot centered around the last copy of the Bible on Earth as the catalyst for the rebirth of society.  Very well-done and very hopeful.

The Road, on the other hand, is excellent if you're in the mood for something so bleak and depressing it makes you want to go hang yourself midway through the movie.  As with the book, it is utterly, one hundred percent bleak and hopeless from beginning to end.  Everyone is going to starve to death and there is not a glimmer of hope for any kind of future anywhere in sight.  The blackest vision of anything I have ever seen or read.  I loved it.

Feel Good Story of the Day: Concealed carry permit holder stops an armed robber

A concealed carry permit holder reportedly used his gun to save himself and a friend from an armed robber.

Polic say that a concealed carry permit holder, who was also a military member who had just returned from an overseas deployment, was sitting in a car with another individual in Mount Auburn, OH.  A robber, who was armed with a gun, reportedly approached the car, threatened the men's lives, and shot one of the men in the arm.  Acting in self defense, the concealed carry permit holder returned fire, hitting the robber in the stomach and causing him to flee, police say.  The suspected robber, as well as the injured victim, were treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a local hospital, according to news reports.

That is definitly worth mentioning too. All in all it was a pro-religion and pro-Christian movie which is a rare animal in Hollywood these days.

144 43 I believe that pro sports contracts take the taxes into consideration, sort of like the exchange rate between Canada and the USSA. Posted by: dr kill

The exchange rate is not taken into consideration, the athletes are paid in US dollars, and taxes are also not taken into consideration. The athletes themselves may take those things into consideration, but for the most part, they want the "bigger" contract regardless of the outside forces.

93 I know there are states that charge pro athletes income tax based on the percentage of their paycheck earned for games played there, regardless of where they declare their residence...Illinois isn't one of them?
Posted by: HeatherRadish

Not only the states, but cities do too. Cincinnati is one of them. If you play for a team that plays a game in Cincy, you pay taxes on your prorated salary.
Almost every state that has a major league team taxes the visiting teams' athletes. Funny though, the trainers, equipment guys, and coaches are not taxed.

Not sure what you are asking here..  I believe Illinois charges you taxes paid by any company residing in Illinois.  It doesn't matter where you personally reside.  So, if the Bulls are an Illinois company, you pay Illinois taxes.  (grain of salt needed here.. I am not a tax lawyer..)
Posted by: ChiTown Jerry

Only if you actually work in Illinois. If the company has a branch in Indiana, you pay Indiana taxes if you work and reside in Indiana. If you work in Indiana, but live in Illinois, you would pay taxes in both, but you do get credit for taxes paid in the other state.

Yeah, that was pretty funny.  Unfortunately only about a third of the movie is any good; roughly the first third with Heston running around abandoned L.A. alone shooting things and quietly going insane.  The rest of it is so 1971-ish it makes you want to cry, with the supposedly deep and thoughtful rantings of Mathias and the "Family" and Heston's encounters with the hippie children who blather on about starting over in a new Garden of Eden or some such bullshit.

The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price and even the Will Smith movie were much more effective treatments of I Am Legend, though I don't think Richard Matheson was happy with any of them.

Wow, that's the first time I've heard that book referenced since I read it back in high school in the early seventies.

Maybe that's the book I meant.  Nuclear war, right?


Yeah, written by Pat Frank in 1959.  Frank was a Dem before the moonbats took over and a bit of his liberalism creeps in every fifty pages or so, but nothing really obnoxious.  It's an excellent window into the state of the world in '59.  It has a generally hopeful tone, postulating how a family can survive nuclear holocaust, but lays out in pretty stark terms what a tough and brutal existence it would be.  Very good book.

184 Threads is downright horrible. ten times worse than the Day After.

It's so horrific it almost defies description.  The last scene of the movie is one of the most nightmarish few moments ever committed to film and brutally sums up the overall message of "in the event of nuclear war, WE'RE FUCKED."  If The Road is the most depressing movie I've ever seen, Threads is a very close second.  Hell, it's probably a photo finish.

You have to take a lot of his stuff with several grains of salt. He was even worse in the previous series, Island In The Sea of Time.

The "hero" of the story was a black female lesbian Coast Guard captain.  The evil guy was a Coast Guard Lt who grew up in Montana on a ranch.

If you can get by that kind of liberal "shock" crap the rest of the book is pretty good. (again this was a three book series).

For me it was the couple huddling together in bed under a blanket before they erupt into flames and the cat that got caught outside during the blast. Didn't help that I saw it during the Cold War either when the threat of that exact scenario was very real and I was only about 14 or 15.

189 WBUS,

I dunno I found Threads to be almost as humorous as The Day After WRT survival rates within the Dead Zone of multi-warhead impact areas.

 

I enjoy the Post-Apoc Genre but the entire notion tends to take a rather unrealistic stance on the matter.  Nuclear War is not "the end" like an off switch, and it would not be something that would have a lot of people who "saw the light" wandering around 15 years later.  Reality is depending on the number of candles lit you'd face between a 40 and 90% reduction in human population with a reversion to 1920s to 1950s tech depending.

 

There'd be severe secondary mortality as people who are alive only because of the civilization we've built died off.  No drugs generated for a while, dialysis would be hard, transplants would go by the wayside for a good long time.  Not to worry though our betters would be nice and cozy at Mt. Weather living like kings.

Quite, say we experienced a limited exchange of maybe 20-50 warheads total......you'd find that rioting may have killed as many as genuine blast effects.

My mom grew up in Garfield Heights. Of course, when her family moved there they were getting out of the city. Her house was one of the first to go up on that street and there was a big pond at the end of the street. Nowadays Garfield Heights is not so nice. We live west of Cleveland, and I really love it here. I like being by the lake. What can I say, I was born here.

that is what I was trying to explain to the teacher(a moonbat) and the girl who was crying, I explained that the entire western half of Ohio was a priority targeting area and that fallout would make survival aboveground anywahere east of Ironton pretty sporty....

I suspect the guys in the mountains would have been okay if they got to the abandoned coal and iron mines but it would have taken a lot of inspired digging and discipline to stay in the holes the whole three-six weeks needed depending on weather and impact patterns.

Not short-lived enough, thanks to the army of dipshits who mailed several thousand pounds of nuts into CBS.  Jericho is one of the very worst television series I've ever seen.

These were the main things I learned from Jericho:

1.  Kansas has mountains.
2.  Human beings are radiation-proof.
3.  Skeet Van Der Beek or whatever the fuck his name was is a post-apocalyptic Jesus.
4.  After the bombs come down people are going to expend precious gasoline on generating power for the local bar's jukebox and mope around bitching about relationship problems.

My pet name for this series was "Dawson's Nuke".

Agreed. Good premise, poor execution (really, does Idaho look like Thousand Oaks, CA?), and the sloppy lefty sub-plot.

Speaking of, did anyone catch that blip of a reality TV show, 'The Colony.' It was kind of neat but ended up trading the cool survival engineering for inane, shouty confrontation.

I liked Hill Street Blues when it first came out, but they even ruined it.

Is there anything that they haven't ruined?  They can't stop the programs while people still like them.  No, they have to keep pumping them out until everybody hates them and are happy to see them die, already.

So that's it...I thought maybe there was some fabulous designer shopping down in Gulf Shores, or maybe she saw footage of a rescue worker drinking a soda and felt the need to bitch him out.

An 82-year-old man shoots one of two illegal alien car theft ring members in the face and is charged with multiple felonies. The illegals are not charged.

"Legal analyst Dan Recht said he believes the Jefferson County District Attorney is “seriously overcharging” a Wheat Ridge homeowner, accused of attempted first degree murder for shooting at two thieves.

82-year-old Robert Wallace said he fired two shots at two men when they tried to run him over while stealing his flatbed trailer.

Wallace now faces twelve felony counts, including four counts of attempted first degree murder, for what he described as an act of defending his property and his life. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

One of the thieves, Damacio Torres later admitted to the theft. He and his partner in crime, Alvara Cardano both have prior arrest records and are believed to be in the country illegally.

But they are not facing any charges."

435 "Trinity's Child" - William Prochnau. I actually saw the movie first and loved it. Netflixed it again recently. The book really fleshes out the characters, though. I liked how everyone's sanity was strained to the breaking point and who snapped and who didn't.

I have an ale in secondary I can't bottle because I can't get done with the IPA batch. Plus I'm lazy--bottling is a pain in the ass. I'm thinking of going to a tap system but man I drink too much as it is!

528 Yeah, I hear you about bottling.  It is convenient to be able to grab a case or something and head out, but for sticking at home (majority of my consumption (not TB!!)) a kegging and artifial pressurization would be easier.

529 You might be right, its been many years since I've seen a Pontiac motor. Last one was a 66 GTO in 1969. I do know there were many differences between Chevy and the other GM motors. Starters on opposite sides. Different firing orders,stuff like that.  Fords had front distributors.

530 unrelated question , you know that thing where someone offers to shake hands and then pull it back and say 'psych!' where did that come from, was it a movie?

532 Kurt:  I found a picture of a Buick motor with front distributor, but also saw some with rear to. I think year and motor size was a factor.

135 Buzzion, western Ohio is geographically Indiana, except for NW, which is of course Michigan. NE is geologically part of Pennsylvania, SW is Kentucky--you see where I'm going here. By the time you get done attaching the parts of Ohio to the regions they belong to, there's nothing left.

535 hmm look s familiar, notice the big block style manifold where it was sort of separated from the block, don't recall the distributor being tilted like that but the placement of the power steering and A/C seem familiar, I do remember that the nameplate on the beast said wildcat 350, it finally blew a head gasket between oil and radiator, sucker still ran after 200k miles, the car was a real boat.
