— Open Blogger Wazzup Moron Nation! CDR M back on the ONT BattleWatch! Hope you all are ready for the most magnificent eating day of the year and for those of you traveling, hope the TSA didn't manage to mishandle your stuff, so to speak! Without further ado, I present to you, the ONT:
The Screw You Nebula

Cooking Themes
These are homes that are owned by some of the top chefs and chefettes in the world. Man, they have some huge homes and are probably all kitchen! Also included with this list are some of their favorite holiday recipes. Anyone game to try them out? Now don't some of you morons get the bright idea of driving up to these homes and start celebrity stalkin' or somethin'!
Top Chef Homes and Holiday Recipes
Of course, that last post leads to this. Celebrity kitchens. Do they even know how to cook? Do they even eat enough to justify a kitchen? One thing I can't quite figure out yet is why Lady GaGa even has a kitchen? Is it her sewing room for her meat dresses?
Top Celebrity Kitchens
Now, what's a holiday celebration without some Moose Milk. No, fellow morons, not real moose milk, but the drink called Moose Milk. I developed a taste for this after hanging out on detachment with some Canadian military types. There are different recipes but this one is pretty good. Warning: It is very potent and will lead to good times! What concoctions are the rest of you mixing up for the holidays?

Cooking Safety Video
Good Morning America did a little show on holiday cooking safety this morning and while there is some good information in it, she almost goes up in flames during the segment around the 1 min 15 sec mark as she puts out a grease fire with the lid. I think her technique would've worked out better if she had also moved the pan off of the heat source instead of just leaving it there. So close to having a new Darwin Award candidate.
Animal Themes
Yes, I know it's not Caturday but I could not resist seeing a cat show the effects of the moron lifestyle. Just tragic.
Could this be a video game for the moronettes? I don't know. I think the game would be better if the big cats would at least try to eat you. Or you can shoot 'em. Just sayin'.
Artwork
CAC inspired me to at least post one thing on "high class" artwork. Here goes. H.R. Giger is famous, right?
Military Pron
Name this gun. I have no friggin' idea!
Random Shiite
Heh. The world according to San Francisco.
This is pretty cool.
If you could choose which television show family you could spend Thanksgiving with, who would it be? TV Squad asked just that question and posted their list with reasons why or why not. I think I would lean towards The Bluth family of Arrested Development. No shortage of entertainment in that family but I think in the end, I'd have to go with the Bundy's.
Imagery, Intelligence Analysis Great site to peruse now and then for imagery analysis as it pertains to military issues. If you have Google Earth on your computer, you can load up the dot kml file for SAM's and it will depict the type, location and range rings for that type weapon.
Of course, no turkey day can pass without this classic montage of the turkey drop from WKRP in Cincinnati.
Top 10 Over Rated Acts in Music
I will now close this ONT with this little music ditty.
Well folks, that's all I got tonight. Take it easy.

Dr. Scholl, all you have to do is put it in the sink rinse it off, pat it down, go TSA on it by removing the neck and or bag of gibblets from inside, then pat it down a little more (think of second TSA screening stage) then rub salt on it (third stage TSA) and then put a little vegetable oil on it. Put it in a roasting pan with tin foil and cook 325. And check on it in a couple of hours and baste it (final TSA stage).
It's all in the stages.

I left work @ 4:49, did the normal 20-minute commute, went to Fred Meyer (Kroger for you retards) & Trader Joe's and was home by 5:37. It was amazing!!! The stores were a madhouse, of course, but I stayed focused.

I have to post here. I'm busy gettin banned from a Massachusetts site.
I defend Brown, Romney and Palin. I just hate fucking liars and scumbags. It doesnt matter who the candidate is. Debate, straight up, with facts.
On national blogs people assume a lot about us "RINOS" but if they ever saw us in the trenches, they would know better. But most of them are spoiled brats who rarely get out of the house (church not included).'
I'm destroying anti-Palin facions left and right. Tomorrow I'll be called a RINO myself, but I still fight for what is right.

I hate being a renter, I hate my crazy landlady
oh, Episode XVI of Why My Landlady Is Crazy:
so I call my landlady Monday morning, telling her there's a leak in the ceiling of my bathroom, and could she send someone to fix it - nobody answers so I leave a message
all day Monday - no return call
all day Tuesday - no return call
so I come back Tuesday evening, and whaddya know, the ceiling is magically fixed.
so my landlady or the handyman or someone went into my apartment, without telling me or even leaving me a message, and fixed the leak in my ceiling
god, how many times have they been in my place without telling me, "fixing" this or that?

chemjeff, you need to look into escrow laws in your state.
or at least threaten that if she doesn't comply with (a) returning your phone calls in a timely manner and (b) entering the presmises w/your proper consent, you'll place your next month's rent in escrow with the court. [most state's say you have to give the landlord 30 days to cure any problems before you go that route though]. usually the threat is the kick in the pants and you won't have to go through w/it.

Ralph's has THE WORST self checkout things. If you don't put the food in the bag immediately, it freaks out and halts everything until a manager comes and unlocks it. Fresh & Easy has the most user friendly ones as far as I've used.
Unrelated, I'm watching the Expendables. It's very very good so far.

Yeah, our idiots are extra special. They don't even know the self serve lines are self serve, so they skip them altogether.
And, I have to rephrase the not going to a checker thing. I of course go to a checker at TJ's. They're just not union and usually have every line open even when it's not busy.

Chemjeff, as eminem would say, I am what you say I am. I've been called a RINO so much, I dont care anymore. I've been fighting this fight for 15 years. I worked my ass off for countless campaigns.
There are good people here. My brother owns a bar here. My other brother own a fishing business here. My people, blood, sweat and tears dot this soil.
But some insist that we have no representation, no voice because Scott Brown and Mitt Romney werent pure enough. Have what they call "real" conservatives or your state can burn in hell.
There will be no Chris Coons in Mass. Not over my dead body. We live here. We pay taxes here. We pay fines here. We bleed here.
I'm all done with douchebags from Virginia, Georgia and Texas telling us to nominate Jim DeMint clone or our states can burn in hell.

We had Christmas music on one of our stations out here in CA starting last week. I don't listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving, refuse to.
And those self-check out lines. I kid you not, the grocery store I was in out here on Monday had replaced half the lanes with self check out and then had a behemoth "customer service" compound in the middle of everything. Unbelievable. I am shopping at Trader Joes pretty much now.

I saw a drawing of a gun that looked very much like the one shown above, in a book called "Arms Through the Ages". Called "Puckle's Gun", or "the Puckle Gun", it's an 18th century British invention. A google search will pull up any number of pictures and articles.
The individual cylinders, each holding a charge, were mounted on a ring; the ring rotated, and each cylinder in turn clamped onto the breech of the gun and fired. Think of it as an extremely clumsy 18th century revolver.

Chemjeff,
Hypocisy for one. Jim DeMint gave an overwhelming endorsement of Romney in 2008. Yea, people forget that.
Two, I truly believe that which governs closest to the people governs best. Unlike national Tea Party groups (and DeMint) who are frauds and just decided to supplant themsleves as kingmakers over another group of kingmakers.
Third, I am the real conervative. Being such, I know the real fight is in the cultural institutions, not chairmanships. The DeMint faction lives in the past. They think its 1976 and the whole country is suppressing them.. I know we are a minority now. Times have changed. They are fighting on the wrong front.

I was thinking of flying, but I don't want to get groped
so I was gonna drive
I told my friend, and he's not in favor of that idea - he thinks it will take too long
plus in today's paper it said that they only have the x-ray backscatter devices at KC's airport in only 2 of the terminals, the ones for Delta & Southwest, the others don't have it
so, should I fly or not?

The fact that two airplanes where and are in the area every day and at the right time and given the right conditions could produce a contrail coming over the horizon that could look like a missile launch. That alone should have ended all talk that this thing was nothing but a odd optical illusion of a airplane contrail. The left may be right if 9-11 pt 2 ever happens the Obama did it truthers would be even worse than the Bush did it truthers which is sad. Don't confuse incompetence with conspiracy.

The other smart tip is to fill the oil container with water the day before and put the turkey in. Then take it out and mark the level so you don't overfill it with oil and have your own little BP crisis in the driveway.

Neither Whitman or Fiorina hit their target turnout among Republican voters. Indeed they fell well short. Would they have won if they had just met those quotas? Probably not. But if you can't even do that in a year like 2010 there's no hope left for the state.
Whitman poured $175 million into the state and as bad as many perceive her "public" campaign to be, she did more to build the party infrastructure there than they've had in years. And it didn't accomplish a damn thing.
Likewise the millions the RSLC & NRSC poured into Cooley & Fiorina's races - both to no effect.
Posted by: Chris in Va at November 24, 2010 09:51 PM (uCjoj)
If Whitman poured that much into her campaign, half must have been in whiskey toddies. Because it sure didn't show up anywhere else. And the other problem running as a "electable" nice guy republican is that a large fraction of the Rs here are bitter clinger types. Because all the RINO types already left to be Democrats ten years ago. All thats left are the corrupt party types like those in Delaware, and one or two unelectable dumb conservatives. The smart conservative run for federal posts and don't come back.

Yeah, but canola oil tastes and smells awful, while good peanut oil (I like the Lion and Globe brand), while pricey, tastes and smells like the next best thing to bacon. Plus, peanut oil has a higher smoke point, which is great for deep-frying.

To be fair, the resulting number of seats in the Assembly, 28, is in line with the GOP's historical average there. Despite three Dem waves, they managed to whittle down the GOP caucus by two.
The lifetime party members on both sides made every seat a safe seat for one side or the other long ago. Perhaps the citizen redistricting board will change that going forward. The prop to give it more power passed, the prop to neuter it failed.

Isn't the True Story of Tombstone and the OK Corral really different from what movies and stories portray. The shootout lasting under a minute or so and it being questionable about how many many of the guys on the other side were actually armed. Earp and Holliday benefitting mostly from the typical "Old West" dime store novels and Earp moving to Hollywood and being a stunt coordinator for movies.

OK, but will you concede that one of the functions of great art is to get you to look at, and appreciate, things you might not have looked at otherwise?
Look, maybe you'd hate it. But there are few movies that have been so widely loved, so if you're going to appreciate anything that goes against the usual grain, the odds are high that that would be it. Why not check it out?
I don't care much for snarky hipster movies, but I loved High Fidelity.
I don't care much for Quentin Tarantino, but I loved Pulp Fiction.
I don't care much for horror, but I thought Halloween was awesome.
Why not at least taste from the very best of genres you might not otherwise care for? I've found it rewarding.
I will admit that I've never seen "The Princess Bride," for analogous reasons to yours. Have I messed up? Should I check it out?

I didn't even see that. Really, Pesci, DeNiro, Pacino, Brando aren't actors I really care about seeing even when its a movie they were in their prime.
And I'll admit to also not having seen Tombstone but more from it being out when I was too young for it, and never actively seeking it out. Again like with mobster movies, Westerns aren't my preferred viewing.

A flash from the past:
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE DIP
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. cloves
-----
Recommended to be used as a dip for ginger snaps or just plain fingers.
I've got some soft Archway (the best!) soft iced molasses cookies instead.
I suggest cutting the amount of cloves in half -- one teaspoon is plenty, two are overpowering. You can also use dark brown sugar. It tastes fine and there's no reason to buy a whole bag of light brown sugar just for this recipe. Also, use the whipped cream cheese because it makes mixing super easy. And use the Philthydelphia brand just because it's the best.

Because I'm usually looking to be entertained and not necessarily broaden my horizons. I have no issue conceding that it is possibly one of the best pieces of cinema ever filmed, but apparently so is Citizen Kane and I'm not planning to watch that either. Maybe I'll watch it eventually but I don't see myself actively seeking it.
Of those movies listed the only one I've seen was High Fidelity and I think I hated every single character in it except for Jack Black's.

I'd rather watch The Princess Bride than a slasher flick any day. Infact I walked out on Fatal Attraction, down the hall and into another theater to watch it. My wife came out telling me what a great flick it was and if I watched it I would never screw around. I told her I wasn't planning to anyway and I enjoyed the Princess Bride better.
The weirdness of movies often comes too close to the reality of life for me to consider slasher flicks for entertainment. I have a wife and two daughters. Slasher flicks actually creep me out. I haven't watched many slasher flicks but I was setting in a theater listening to a couple teens laugh when some attrocious thing happened on screen during one slasher flick. A real WTF moment for me.

Not that I watch slasher flicks, but the violence is so stylized that even if done well you can lose touch with it. If done poorly, its just a joke.

Actually, me too. But I've lived long enough that I've often exhausted what I know will entertain me and have needed to seek more widely. In no way have I been on a quest to broaden my horizons for the pure sake of it. That sounds too much like uplift, as Mencken would phrase it. It's just that the sources I know don't produce as often as I consume, so I have to scrounge in between, and there are rewards to be had that way.

Fluffy it's called Local Hero made in 1983 and if you haven't seen it, watch it and you'll love it and the music. Absolutely stunning.
Fluffy, click here and listen to the whole thing, it's pure Knopfler and is one of his best scores.

I don't think it was. I think the top few were like The Italian Job, Bullit, some dumb movie about a guy driving around in the desert.

The movie's pretty good, the title is like calling the first LOTR movie 'The Fellowship of the King".
Aubry was a commander in book 1. The movie is like book eight.

Thanks Gator I'm still pissed you kicked my ass last week in the Moron league though!
As for titties, it clearly states in the AoSHQ rule book that it is BYOT.
I was secretly rooting for you in that game....don't want you knocked out of the playoffs. It's getting close to crunch time, isn't it? Big games tomorrow....what a beautiful freakin' day Thanksgiving has become.

Speaking of about Machineguns.
Someone posted a link concerning Simo Hayha, that famous Finnish sniper during the Winter War. A bunch of his kills came through the use of a Finnish SMG. I saw a picture of the Suomi KP/-31 that was in Finnish use at the time and it looks like the Soviet Union copied it in their PPSh.

Gator, you like the pic on the Moron League front page?
That was a beautiful thing to behold, my man!
Love seeing my brethren walking around, scaring people.
Came to your defense, actually.
Thanks, Editor. I appreciate that....a lot of good morons did. I don't think I've given any impression that I would ever do something like that, but I could be wrong....I've been here a long time, and sometimes (if you can believe this) I was quite hammered.

The SMG seems to be a little short in the barrel to be a effective sniper rifle. His kills must have come close in.

In a forest, you don't get shots from that long a range. And carrying the smaller gun lets you move around better. I gather that's the lesson they picked up from that war.
Peacetime armies often get the accuracy fetish about hitting a dot at 3 miles. Most fighting is closer in than that.

633 Am catching up on Stargate Universe because I'm a masochist. I really have to hand it to the writers of this nihilistic turd; they've done a masterful job of ensuring I hate absolutely every single character but the ones they flush down the toilet for no reason at all.
Yeah after week it seems really obvious that they've decided that no character gets to have any sort of happiness at all, and they must be completely tortured shattered human beings. Even the one that is supposed to be the source of levity.

He got the contract for it because he wrote somebody in Hollywood and suggested it would be a good promotion for the 20th anniversary of StarWars. Sponge bob was a hoot.

First of all Balloonist are generally a bunch of fun loving 8ball goofs. A lot like the folks who hang out here. Second imagine doing something you absolutely love to do and when you get all done flying for an hour, someone thanks you profusely and hands you $400. It's not better than sex but it's a close second.

I forget how much work Thanksgiving actually is. I have to make a ton of sides for those who won't eat ed. And now, every time I try to get rid of a side, someone says "oh you can't get rid of that, it wouldn't be thanksgiving without that" so I end up cooking it all every year.

Showers and thunderstorms. Temperature rising to near 71 by 10am, then falling to around 47 during the remainder of the day. South wind around 15 mph becoming north. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.
That's a big swing. Shorts weather in the morning and winter coat weather the rest of the day.

Perhaps. It is interesting to hear my lab mate and the lab tech converse with each other in Chinese. I think they use primarily Mandarin since they from different provinces. As with any country, each province has their own local dialect. Sometimes different provinces can understand each other and sometimes not. When this language gap is encountered, Mandarin can be used as bridge, although English can be used now too since all Chinese school kids are taught English alongside their native language.
There was an Indian couple in my department who each came from different provinces that spoke vastly different language dialects, so they used English to talk to each other. This must have made huge family gatherings a bit interesting though.

With SG1 and Atlantis I couldn't wait for each new episode, the shows were just such a good time to watch. They were also funny; they had great senses of humor, something almost wholly absent in SGU.
I'm sick of everyone on this show being at odds all the time over anything and everything the writers can think of, sick of the melodrama, and above all sick of the depression that permeates everything about the show. And I'm sick of there being no point to any of it. I have no idea what the hell this week's episode was trying to say to us other than to try to make a point about the existence of God, and even to that extent the episode is pointless and cruel -- unless you want to believe in a God who would resurrect your body after death with its soul missing but its sentience intact, then kill it all over again in the same horrible way it died the first time.
There is no point to anything in this show. It's just week after week after week of hateful, endless nihilism.

...it was the very last thing she heard before she was murdered. This removed any sympathy I might have felt for Eli over the death of his girlfriend, and the writers, because they're idiots, haven't seen fit to give him any guilt over this.
Perry was actually one of the few people to show up on this series I liked, and they disposed of her as cruelly and dismissively as they could. I don't know what is wrong with the sociopaths who run this show.

Untrue. They type 38 was found to be the strongest bolt action rifle of any used by either side during either WW1 or 2. Type 99's made before 1943 were found to be almost equally robust. The poor rep was derived by idiots trying to fire live ammo from training rifles, also some of the type 99's were made from inferior cast parts during the last (the so called "last ditch" firearms).

Only fault is that it's cliche though I agree with not showing him having any sympathy other than having him throw a hissy fit, they should have prolonged the death of his girlfriend. In a situation like that, you won't have many chances to hook up with a girl so that shit has to hurt like a son of a bitch and yet she seems to be a forgotten character a week later

Improper ordinance maybe for the non-training rifles, but the training rifles were meant to fire paper or wood "bullets". If real ammo was run through them, they tended to catastrophically shred the barrels.

Don't take much for them to throw codes if the units monitored don't react in the specified time. throttle sensors in the intake do that by getting coated with crap a good spray usually fixs them *in euros*..

A good spray usually fixes this one for a month or so. I'm hoping the "new" one fixes it permanently.

They were hanging back pretty far it seemed. Probably smallest camera they had with it zoomed in as much as possible.
Also they probably had nice big shirts on saying ABC News, and I bet the TSA has orders to be on best behavior when "legitimate" news is around. They won't want amateurs filming because then people will have real evidence of them being disgusting perverts.

no but if it's part of the emissions system your going to get porked.. I think only domestics are reasonable when it comes to those parts. Case in point a O2 sensor unit is about 35 bucks but add the pigtail *connector wire* and it's 135.

G4's Review 5 out of 5 it seems. So looks like it should be good. Apparently they've released a Nunchuk witha paintbrush end for the game, and also there's been a charging station for the wii-mote that has a mickey mouse theme to it.

they will have single copies but it works out to be quite cheaper to buy the packs (like RUSE is $8 cheaper in the bundle). But if your looking for Empire, grab the Empire & Napoleon GOTY package. It has both games and all the DLC for them. GoGamer has it for $19.90 at the moment

I've been up for a while but have been noodling with WMP for hours trying to figure out how to get the damn thing to display larger images in the "now playing" visualization. It defaults to the shitty 200 x 200 image every time. Got started on it making a playlist for Christmas music.
Every time that is except on a few albums that I downloaded from Amazon (some do some don't). Its frustrating as hell. From the research I have done tonight it appears that WMP-12 in Windows 7 is even worse.
It makes me tempted to go back to Music Match but the version of that I have will not work with XP (and probably not much else either).
Posted by: Vic at November 25, 2010 02:52 AM (e4sSD)
You can't install MM in xp mode. I think right clicking on the setup exe *on the install cd* should give you that option..
Posted by: beanervt at November 25, 2010 03:02 AM (wvnuO)
I read a write-up while searching for knowledge vase that said WMP12 in Win 7 did the same thing with the album art. Converts it to 200x200 regardless of the size that is downloaded.
And yeah, I tried loading MM-7 when I got this computer years ago and it just wouldn't run at all. I liked MM at the time because it had a choice for using the aux input as a recording media. At the time I was digitizing my old album collection and that was the only way to get it on the computer. (WMP doesn't have a choice for aux in).
I wound up using an old computer running Win 98 to digitize the albums and then transferring them to this one.
Now I have a USB turntable with a special program made by Sony for that. Too bad I had already spent 5 years on the old method.
Posted by: Vic at November 25, 2010 03:09 AM (e4sSD)

There is no way on the American Thinker site to write feedback, so here is mine.
The article is about the author's son, Keith, an adult. Keith's childhood is detailed. Other than a few supposedly minor events of teenage rebellion, Keith was a great child with a perfect childhood and a bright future, according to his father. Then he went to college and everything went straight to hell, it is stated more or less. It turns out Keith was genetically doomed, his father claims, because he had a few relatives who might have had a psychological disorder. Now Keith lives at home and is shot up full of pharmaceutical drugs all the time. He is like a living comatose patient, and can't do anything because of his mental illness. (Or is it that he is taking so many drugs?)
This article seems biased. The author implicitly takes credit for all of the good things in Keith's life. Then he blames all of the bad things on an unfortunate random medley of genetics. It is too convenient for the author to be entirely believable.
The author and father does not give us much information about the severity of Keith's mental illness, except he blames it for everything. The people all around him, upon interacting with Keith, immediately suggest to Keith's father that he get Keith on disability payments (Social Security). Keith's father takes that as a sign our society has gone to hell, because people are too quick these days to jump on the government dole.
In my experience, however, very few in America want themselves or their relatives or friends to be on disability payments. If a bunch of people were suggesting that Keith get disability payments, perhaps his mental illness is indeed staggering and severe. While I am against government intrusion as well, this society has enough wealth to make sure that the least fortunate, such as amputee war veterans, and the severely mentally disturbed, at least have decent lives. Even if they can't hold down jobs, at least they won't go starving in the streets. That's the purpose of the small disability payments available under the federal government.
The father needs to look in the mirror. First, he needs to ask, is his son really mentally defective, or was it a combination of extreme religious beliefs, strict parenting, and Keith's indulgence in illegal drugs that perhaps caused his mental disturbance? Let's face reality. people usually only hallucinate after they have taken LSD, cocaine, shrooms, or other illegal drugs. Maybe one of Keith's supposed friends gave him some "bad acid" or the like, and it has affected Keith for a long time. Has Keith told his father everything? Is Keith an addict for one drug who has just switched to new drugs, like pharmaceuticals? Maybe Keith needs to dry out completely. Has the father thought of that?
Second, are pharmaceutical drugs actually helping? Apparently not. He still can't hold down a job. Keith should get off all the drugs, go completely sober, and pursue a talking cure.
Third, ultimately Keith's life is Keith's responsibility. The father needs to honor that and allow Keith to go Keith's way.
Fourth, if in fact Keith is severely disturbed, and is so out-of-touch with reality that he must be on disability payments, then suck it up, and take the payments. Get Keith into a group home or something and let him live out whatever is left of his life in dignity. Or, if he is not that disturbed, get him dried out, then let him hit bottom, and be there when he asks for help solving his problems. Basically, get him into group therapy, or allow him to pursue a solution on his own.
Fifth, the father should try to reconcile his written essay with the actual history of Keith. Was there anything good at all that Keith did on his own after he left the nest? The father gives him no credit for anything good at that point. Clearly, that cannot be the case. The father is acting like a prosecutor of his own son.
Sixth, the father should do a self-examination. Clearly, the father is arrogant and egotistical and unable to take any responsibility for the situation himself. He needs to put his own views to the same test he applies so rigorously to "the dependent society" and to Keith and his mistakes. While no one likes subjecting themselves to a withering self-critique, that is truly what Keith's father needs most right now.
Seventh, does the father love his son Keith? Does Keith know that? How does the father show his love to Keith?
Good luck to Keith, his father, and his family.

Not true anymore. I was looking into that a few days back on one of the Monty doom/SS doomed threads. SSI (disability) payments are now twice that of the normal SS retirement payments. It has been growing by leaps and bounds. If anything is bankrupting SS this is it.
It is the latest scam in some of the urban environments for those who churn out multiple children as a way of "making a living". All it takes is a sympathetic (read crooked) doctor and your child can have a "disability" that qualifies not only for thousands a month from SS, but all kinds of special programs from the State and city governments. Also get special stuff at the schools.
Some families have an entire household full of disabilities.

The gun appears to be a Baker Transitional Revolver that has had some kind of experimental multi-cylinder kluge attached.

Good morning, moron nation, and happy Thanksgiving! Which reminds me, if we one-term Obama, I think that election day 2012 should be the Moron Nation's version of Thanksgiving.
