— Open Blogger WhatÂ’s up Moron Nation and Happy Eve before New YearÂ’s Eve! Back at the helm as Maet is out and about looking for the perfect hobo to capture and feed his family during these hard, hard times. Remember earlier this year the uproar over vuvuzelaÂ’s? Well, it takes a real manÂ’s sport to properly use this noisy contraption properly.
Well, it is the end of 2010 so itÂ’s time for the obligatory top 10 thingeeÂ’s of the year. HereÂ’s your first one. Top 10 Sex Scandals of 2010. I can't believe that Larry King is still trying the pull my finger thing. Jeez. HereÂ’s a snipet.
Mister John “Foot in Mouth” Mayer had plenty to say to Playboy about his former lovers Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston. In the interview, the singer called Aniston his dream mate and said that Simpson was “like crack cocaine to me ... It was like napalm, sexual napalm.”
Now correct me if IÂ’m wrong, but wouldnÂ’t napalm imply some kind of burning sensation and not the good kind? Hope it wasn't tabasco.
So in NY we have the Ball Drop (morons snicker everywhere) but did you know what else is dropped on New Year's Eve in other cities (morons giggle everywhere)? Here's the Top 15 Strangest Things Dropped On New Year's Eve. What's up Pennsylvania? You got two in the top 10 and the first one looks like a burnt Mr. Peanut.
Here are you 20 best mug shots in 2010. Holy cow. I think #18 might be a troll that frequents the AoSHQ threads.
Well, GM seems to be reacting rapidly to their upcoming debacle called the Volt. ItÂ’s not as green as they would have you think so they have hit the drawing board and have come up with this. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Chevy Outhouse, powered by farts. I think Taco Bell sales are about to go through the roof.
NASA's Secret catalog coming soon? Shape-shifting bra made of NASA space foam is the latest thing in 'biocosmeceuticals'. The only caveat? You already need some cleavage to make use of it’s “benefits” otherwise, stick to the push-up, padded ones. Or I guess you could give the Japanese Chinese Vibration machine a try that promises to vibrate your mammaries to a larger cup size.
Many graphs depicting eating habits in the United States. U.S. Food Facts.
Well this is interesting as it may explain why liberal vegans are friggin wacked out violent extremists. Too harsh? Red Meat Has A Calming Effect. I think Hobo meat counts.
Speaking of red meat and because IÂ’m a giver, you moronetteÂ’s can enjoy this article. PeopleÂ’s Magazine Sexiest Men Alive in 2010. WARNING: NSFM. As in Not Safe For Morons.
Alright morons, sticking with the red theme and to offset the above post, I present to you some Ginger Ladies. WARNING: NSFW. Really. Kratos, watch out bro! Sexy Gingers.
Ok, some of you guys are hitting the party circuit for New Year's Eve and you are panicked right now because you don't have the gift for smooth talking your way with the ladies. Well it just so happens that there's an app for that! Now I realize not everyone has a smartphone yet so here is a handy list of some pick up lines that you can use instead. Some examples:
-You're so hot, you must be the real reason for global warming.
-I hope you know CPR, 'cause you take my breath away.
-If you were a tear in my eye, I would not cry for fear of losing you.
-Was your father a thief? 'Cause someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.
Heh. Not bad. This is what happens when you mix LL Cool J with Dexy's Midnight Runner's.
More mash-ups at the Top 10 Mash Ups in 2010.
My, my. Florida sure had some strange headlines. One would almost think that we have some morons living there. Florida Tops Odd News in 2010. A taste of whatÂ’s in the article.
There were other strange dog stories. A man was walking his Jack Russell terrier in Tampa when an alligator snatched it.
He pulled out his handgun and started shooting at the gator. It let go of the dog, but the pet wasn't breathing until the man performed CPR and revived it.
Geek or serial killer? Take the quiz and see if you can figure out which is which.
Heh. DonÂ’t be mad Peaches, itÂ’s just the way Tom is. Top 10 Embarrassing Sports Star Endorsements.
Well my fellow morons and moronettes, this is my last ONT of the year unless Genghis gets trapped in a Chinese sweat shop factory. God Bless you all and have a Happy New Year!
Tonight's ONT brought to you by:

We actually got 3 in the top 10, thank you very much!
I went to the baloney drop in Lebanon a few years ago.
True story - my family used to live by a Seltzers Smokehouse Meats warehouse when I was a wee God of War. One late night, my stepfather went out to his car for something and noticed an unmarked truck at the warehouse being loaded up with meat. He called the cops and they arrested two plant workers who had been stealing meat stock from the warehouse for over a month.
About a week later, my parents got a huge package from Seltzers with all kinds of gourmet meat and baloney. We ate so much that month that to this day, I really can't stand the taste of Lebanon baloney.

So what's everybody doing for New Year's Eve? I have nowhere to go, and my choices for the evening at this point are pretty much 1. Sleep through it 2. Get a ton of booze and get blasted alone while watching the Twilight Zone marathon.

Chris in Va - or "Not Ed Rendell" if that is your real name - I set the divider differently. I grew up in South Carolina, so I say the real Virginia begins where the towns are named after guns - Remington and Winchester. Anything inside that ring is really kinda like an extension of DC and Montgomery County.
NoVa is not the South.

I said this in the Chinese carrier buster thread - as long as we are into the Chinese for $700 great big ones, nothing to worry about.
As long as they want to collect, and there aren't any plans to just infalte away that debt, the Chinese would never dream of being a military threat.

Somehow reneging on our debt to them, is indeed probably the number one reason that we could end up at war...slightly surpassing Chinese domestic discord...

Brady was involved in an early-morning crash Thursday in the Back Bay area of Boston, when a minivan drove through a red light and into the path of the $97,000 Audi S8 driven by Brady.
The loaner Audi was part of an agreement between Brady and Audi that in some way involves Brady's participation in the Best Buddies charity. He has been honorary chairman of the charity for the past three years.
Motive power in the second-generation D3 S8 powertrain features a 5.2 litre all aluminium alloy 5,204 cubic centimetres (317.6 cu in) Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) 40-valve (four valves per cylinder) 90° V10 petrol engine (parts code: 07L, identification code: BSM). This engine is a derivative of the Gallardo's original 5.0 litre Lamborghini V10,[4] which was also developed under the Volkswagen Group ownership.Posted by: kbdabear at December 30, 2010 06:57 PM (vdfwz)

Perhaps, but the US is also spending money to prepare for any number of particular types of conflict - vs China, or NK, or Iran, etc. Also, we are highly concerned with minimizing our death toll in combat. China really only has to prepare for one type of conflict, and they aren't that concerned if it costs a million lives to win it.

Yeah Garrett I said it. I am not a fanboy but I've been listening to U2 for, let's see, 32 years? (Jeebus that seems like forever.) They've made some great music. And I don't think Bono is as pretentious and self-important as he is made out to be. He gave a lot of props to G.W. Bush back in the day when that certainly wasn't cool.
Here is what Bono said at the 2006 National Prayer Breakfast:
A number of years ago, I met a wise man who changed my life -- in countless ways, big and small. I was always seeking the LordÂ’s blessing. I - I'd be saying, "Look, I've got a new song...Would you look out [for it]. I have a family; I'm going away on tour -- please look after them. I have this crazy idea. Could I have a blessing on it."
And this wise man asked me to stop. He said, "Stop asking God to bless what youÂ’re doing. Get involved in what God is doing -- because itÂ’s already blessed. Well, let's get involved in what God is doing. God, as I say, is always with the poor. That's what God is doing. That's what HeÂ’s calling us to do.
Now, I don't know about you, but there's a guy who doesn't think he is as important as all that.

And they are getting quite adept at coming up with lower-cost ways to negate our high-tech weapon advances - using satellite-killing missiles to blind our view from space, developing missiles designed to sink expensive aircraft carriers.
Thankfully, the Chinese still have a long way to go before they become a blue-water naval power and are able to competently project power.

I'm not so sure they might not settle for even Taiwan to stay independent as long as they trade with them enough.
Siberia has always been a desire for China since they used to own it, and could use the resources. Plus its where China's low tech but supposedly decently trained army can match up well.

Powerful bomb explodes outside closed Athens nightclub; no injuries reported - AP
Radical anarchists is what they are saying. Follows two other bombs today. I lived in Athens 20 years ago. It was kinda like that then. Bombs, night clubs, banks, etc.
There was a group called November 17 always struck at US interests - IBMs office, Citibank, etc. And then the Soviet Union was breaking up, so they started bombing those guys for not toeing the line. The day I left Athens there were 13 bombs, Soviets, Czechs, Poles, Yugoslavs - all those embassies.
Even something for the PLO I think.
Same kind of stuff. Though the two bombs earlier today were at courthouses, and this one at a night club - my guess is the nightclub is part of a drug war and it is being masked by the radical anarchist thing.

Years ago I and the misses went out with one of her coworkers. This was the first time we'd gone out with the coworker.
We were watching a basketball game in a fairly quiet bar. It was a game I really wanted to watch. I could tell the coworker was a wacky leftist, but whatever, I'm used to being around leftists, so I keep the chat idle. She keeps making inane, PC, lefty comments.
After a particularly stupid statement the coworkers boyfriend says coming like, "See how unpolitically correct she is, that's why I love her!!!" even though every word coming out of her mouth is textbook PC.
Well, the missus knows my feelings on PC but at the time wasn't really to aware of politics and opines, "Really? 18-1 [real name withheld] is conservative too!".
Two hours of political arguments later we finally get to leave. I did manage to get the coworker to shut up in time for the last few minutes of the game, so there was some small benefit and the missus did learn why you can't talk about politics with lefties...

Urban legend. I know lots of people tell that tale, didn't happen that way.
The story goes that Palestinians kidnapped Russians in the late 80s like they were kidnapping Americans. And then the KGB or some other piece of the Soviet intelligence world found the families of the kidnappers and cut off body parts (the best tellings they cut off their dicks) and sent them to the kidnappers and then they let the Russians go and never bothered them again.
Nice story, people say yeah you go all medieval on them that's the only way to go.
Trouble is its 100% bullshit. The Palestinians would NEVER have picked on Soviets cause that would be biting the hand that feeds - the reason why those terrorists didn't fuck with the Soviets was because they were on the same side, it was where their bread was buttered.
And that's why it wasn't til the Berlin Wall was practically down before November 17 started bombing them. Cause the money dried up.

That's certainly true, most nominal lefties get that way through laziness - its all around them and they don't care enough to educate themselves.
Living in liberal areas you have to be able to identify the politics of people you are around before you talk about anything approaching politics. There is a huge difference, presuming you don't want a huge argument, in how you should handle them;
Raving Lefty: Ignore
Ignorant Lefty: Play with their world view
Euro-phile: Bad mouth Eurotrash in a non-political way
etc...

Whoever thought it was a good idea to make the 5 a three lane freeway through southern LA is an idiot. You know you're in OC when the freeway becomes six lanes and looks all purdy.
And why in the world would you take the six lane 5 and turn it into two lanes to continue on, with one lane going to the 60 and the other three going to the 10. Kbear knows what freeway connector I'm talking about.

I hate it when they build a 2 lane freeway anywhere. Having a freeway soon generates enought traffic for three. In LA thats a total joke.
Chicago's Ryan is bad - they take two three lane freeways and merge them into each other every mile or so. I used to have to make eight lane changes in about five miles to just avoid being forced off the highway.

When I lived in Piscataway, there was an overpass over the 287 that was being worked on the whole three years I lived there, and when I visited from CA two years after moving, it was STILL being worked on. Google maps has a feature that will show markers for areas with construction. The symbols cover Northern NJ like ants on a jelly donut.

Simpson is so beautiful, it's stunning. Her face is perfect, flawless, like she had a mask on. I didn't recognize her (didn't recognize either one, actually), and I couldn't help leaning toward her briefly for a closer (shocked) look. "Dayam, is that your real skin?" No, not really.

Greetings and stuff. I'm back at the HQ for a few minutes to axe a favor.
I've been searching for info on how public sector unions got so damned powerful. Someone (Kratos?) mentioned (in the "K~Bob is a drunken moby" thread) that President Kennedy signed an Executive Order spinning the whole thing up a major notch.
I remember seeing something on a Fox news special about something that President G.H.W. Bush signed that made it worse, but I can't find it. He did manage to veto an amendment to the Hatch Act that definitely would have made it far, far worse. So that seems like a good thing. But the program I saw sort of blamed it on him.
I did find this, which is interesting.
I'm a little freaked out that we don't seem to have a simple resource out there that gives serious details on the history of this thing. No wonder Glenn Beck is raking in the mega-bucks. Even the Cato site seems to want you to learn about this history the hard way (plowing through gobs of papers). Unless my search-foo has totally failed me.
Someone here has to know a better set of search terms to unravel this beastie.
I'm looking for one site or one online document that does a decent job of explaining how we got here, and no, I don't need the short version. I already know that. I want details. Like the Executive orders link I provided.
Thanks for any help you can bring to this quest!

In Chicago there were some bridge repairs that were steel sheets nailed into the road with pins covering three inch cracks in the road. Think of a giant bandaid of steel.
They were there the entire 8 years I had a car. They may still be there.

.Yeah, that was surreal. We're leaving the Iron Brewery, trying to get back on the Interstate and as we're passing through this one area of town about 200 black teenagers start crossing the road en masse, followed by cop cars. We had to wait about 5 minutes for them to all pass...
I tried looking up what that possibly was about, but no luck.

Wiki'ing the largest of the public sector unions;
http://tinyurl.com/ryuy8
Before the 1960s, only a small portion of public school teachers were unionized.[5] But that began to change when, in 1959, Wisconsin became the first state to pass a collective bargaining law for public employees. Over the next 20 years, most other states adopted similar laws. The passage of these laws had a significant impact on NEA, which began to serve members as a labor union, in addition to serving members as a professional association. Passage of these new labor laws, along with NEA's new role as a labor union, helped NEA membership grow from 766,000 in 1961 [6] to roughly 3.2 million today.

I damn near separated my shoulder congratulating myself once when I was driving to the OC and I didn't end up going east on the 60 at that interchange. It's also a lot of fun going north where you have the 101 split just to the south of there in East LA
The main problem with the LA freeways is just that there's more cars than they can handle, and Sacramento stole the gas tax and bond issue money for road maintenance. They're at least well lit, marked, and designed where in NJ the roads are a clusterfuck from day one and if it rains at night you hope you properly guess where the yellow lines used to be before a trooper pulls you over for crossing them.
Posted by: kbdabear at December 30, 2010 09:28 PM (vdfwz)
Also the cop car sped up and rammed into the mob to break them up, and several kids looked like they would have been hit if they hadn't jumped out of the way. Which seemed kind of... uhm.. not cool.

A fun feature of Chicago freeways is that often when 2 cross you can't go all of the directions. So from hiway X south you can go onto Y east but not west, and from Y you can go north on X but not south.

K-Bob, Muravchik's The Rise and Fall of Socialism is good for the historical lesson. People like Samuel Gompers, George Meany, and Layne Kirkland hated, hated socialists. They knew what the socialists were after and were constantly on guard to keep them away from big labor leadership. Without those commie-haters in charge, there was nothing to stop the labor union-socialism dynamic duo. (I think Muravchik needs to do another edition of his book, updating it.) I'm guessing that had something to do with the ugly power grasping. It's no longer for union members; it's all about union leadership. I think someone like Gompers would hate the fucks running the show now. (Remember that he was combating real labor abuses in his day. Since those are over and done, the need for unions isn't what it was.)
Glenn Beck should do a show about that.

The book tip looks promising, RDB. I'm mostly interested in the Federal workers aspect of this mess. The states should be able to cope with their own labor woes if we can get the Feds to cut the crap. The lesson there is how prosperous certain states (*cough* Texas, Tennessee *cough*) are when they restrain that crap.
I agree with Brewer that old-school unions (especially here in Coal Country) would have detested the communists. Especially when dealing with the goons employed against them to try and break them up back then.

All the new freeway lanes they add in LA seem to only be HOV lanes. I fucking hate them. They make traffic worse and during rush hour even the HOV lanes are jammed so it doesn't really make a difference. Plus there's always that asshole (not always a Prius) that goes 50 in the HOV lane and because SoCal is retarded, it's a double yellow so you can't pass the fucker.

Your state also has one of the most beautiful scenic drives that I've ever driven, I-81 from Winchester to Bristol. I give it a close second to the PCH from Santa Maria to Monterrey. I-80 in Eastern PA isn't bad either

When I saw on the news last summer that they were beginning construction of the HOV lane on the 405 north from the 10, I was relieved that I didn't work on the West Side anymore
That money and the construction time could have been better spent widening the transition lanes between the 405 and 101 in Encino, but that would have actually pleased commuters in The Valley, not rich environmentalists in Brentwood

That's a good article, just for some of the resources it lists.
What I'm wondering is how this Big Labor = Government Workers Unions stuff can be rolled back to something more sane, where unions represent normal citizens and not Democrat politicians.
I think it's amazing to read about the Hatch Act, which supposedly "restricts" government workers' unions to issues solely pertaining to collective bargaining. It's apparently construed so thinly that it's nearly useless.

He was friends with rdbrewer at one point, but he must have finally defriended him. Lawl.
I quit FB. But they suspended me first. It was during that Everybody Draw Muhammed Day thing. Muzzies were getting people booted by organizing massive waves of complaints. There was even another FB page where they were talking about who to target. I didn't feel like re-upping after that.

It is frivolous bullshit but it has its uses. Consider this. You're hanging out with a random friend, and this friends random friend comes over and you talk for a bit and then leave. Normally you would never call or email or otherwise speak to this person because you just barely met. But you know them well enough to friend them on facebook because that's what facebook is for. And then maybe you exchange a random comment or two. And it gives the illusion that you know each other better than you do, so maybe if this person can do you a favor, or put you in touch with someone useful to you, you have just expanded your network a little bit, and pretty soon your evil facebook octopus tentacles are EVERYWHERE MUAhahahaa.
But really. I got free cookies last week from someone I haven't spoken to in ten years because of facebook. How can you hate free cookies, Chris?

My wife and I met a friend who is shipping out to Afcrapisan shortly for a coupe drinks. At the end I began to shake really hard and get the chills. I didn't have a temperature so I was a little perplexed. On the way home I cranked the heat up in the car and they went away. I'm having a little trouble regulating my body heat a this point. I figure I picked something up from one of our petri dish grand kids.

I-95 through NC ... built through a forest so all you see are pine trees on both sides of you. Like going through a very long tunnel.
I-95 from Santee SC to Savannah GA. Tidal salt flats, the stench makes it interesting in a way though
I-20 from Big Spring TX to Midland and Odessa to the middle of nowhere where it joins the I-10. Flat, dusty, featureless
I-40 from OKC to Amarillo. Like driving across the ocean

yeah, it's one of the best animes in the past 15 years. A few clunker episodes but it's mostly killer. Worth buying the Remix boxset. After that, I would check out Samurai Champloo (same team doing a mix of chambara and modern day stuff and they got Nujabes to do soundtrack duties)

I don't hate free cookies, I just hate illusions and pretenses. Either I know you or I don't. Either you're an acquaintance or you aren't. Either you're a friend or you aren't. Either I want to know you or I don't. And frankly if I don't know you, I don't want you to know a damn thing about me. And if I do, I doubt I'm going to post something meaningfully personal about myself on Facebook.
But that's the point. You don't talk to acqaintances, because you barely know them. I would never call up a random acquaintance out of the blue and just start randomly talking to them.
And if you never talked to any of those people why the hell did you friend them on myspace?

I-95 through SC is just as bad if not worse. I can't imagine the tedium of driving through there at night. Posted by: Alexandria City Councilwoman Alicia Hughes (I) at December 31, 2010 02:26 AM
Other painfully boring drives ... I-81 from Binghampton NY to Watertown NY. In the winter it's like driving through Poland
Alligator Alley across the Everglades. Thankfully it's not that long
US 27 from Lake Okeechobie to Pembroke Pines can be put in that category too ever since they expanded it to limited access. I remember back in the 70s when it was two lanes, and the sheer terror of heat refraction and no shoulders and deep canals on each side kept the boredom away
I've never driven I-70 or I-80 through OH and IN, but I've heard those are snoozers, and I-94 in North Dakota and Eastern Montana is dangerously monotonous

I got to watch all episodes of Samurai Champloo when it was at the start of a run on "Adult Swim" (yeah, I qualify). I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. A whole lot more, actually. Music was very cool.
BTW, I really liked most of "Appleseed" (an animated "film" by the Ghost In The Shell team (I think. Now I'm not sure), originated by Shirow Masamune (I'm sure of that bit). Story was a bit contrived, but the art and music were really awesome.

Welp, it's not for everyone. I certainly understand what people don't like about it. I finally broke down and joined it because... it's where all the people are. If I didn't talk to my friends on facebook I probably wouldn't hear much from them at all.
But as for it being frivilous bullshit, it's no more frivilous bullshit than, say, the ONT. And I don't consider that a bad thing.

Oh no, the NIMBYs on that side of the Valley have nixed any expansion plans for the 101. They were going to add an HOV lane to the 101 in the Valley and they all freaked out. So they're content with the traffic being as shitty as it is on that side of the Valley, I guess.

If you dug Champloo, you'll love Cowboy Bebop (it's a better cartoon)
big Appleseed fan (Deunan and Briareos are one of my top couples). Prefer the manga and the original OAV but the CGI films were pretty good.
now if only someone could remaster Patlabour, Dominion Tank Police and Riding Bean/Gunsmith Cats and I could die happy

I don't like MSN but that's what we used at the family law firm. It was fun snickering at clients...No one I know is ever on AIM anymore. Even me. The only time I use it is to tell my sister something if I'm too lazy to just get up and talk to her.
I'm meh on gchat. I don't use it that much.
