I posted this on the ONT but since it's dead I'll re-post it here. It's about people who don't like what Glenn Beck has been saying lately:

The constant "Republicans are JUST like Demecrats" shit is getting annoying.

Does anybody think that if we had a President McCain or a President Graham we wouldn't already have health care reform, cap & trade and the closure of Gitmo? They all would've passed with bipartisan support and right now we'd be working on comprehensive immigration reform. Granted, the Republican versions of "reform" would be slightly less draconian but they'd still be horrible. Like Bush's no child left behind and medicare reform.

For every DeMint there two or three McCains and Grahams.

As for progressive Republicans -- we've had plenty of them. Teddy Roosevelt, Nixon and both Bushes were progressives. So is Ahnuld from Caleefornya. There's the Maine twins. Sandra Day O'Conner. I could go on and on.

I'm getting sick of the GOP brand. Maybe Beck is using bad examples but his thesis is basically sound. The GOP has been steadily drifting away from the visions of our Founding Fathers for years and shows no sign reversing course. Disliking Beck is no reason to ignore it.

6 Decent folk? There be decent folk here?

Btw, Daylight Saving is BS. I say we stop doing it.

9 As for progressive Republicans -- we've had plenty of them. Teddy Roosevelt, Nixon and both Bushes were progressives.

I don't know that I'd group in Bush as a "progressive Republican." I don't think "compassionate conservatism" is necessarily the same thing.

10 The time change also means that the AoSHQ clock is effed up, right? What's the over/under on how many months it'll be before the time stamp is correct?

...Indianapolis ignores it...why can't others?

33 Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck  were in Tulsa yesterday. LINK

Excerpt:

For all of Beck’s lecturing about the country’s founding fathers, the crowd craved Palin. Floor seats for the event cost about $150. As one woman said, “It’s not too much for me to see Sarah.”

The crowd jumped to its feet when Rich, who performed at the 2008 GOP convention in Minneapolis, introduced Palin. She walked across the stage in a sleek black coat with silver sequins edging the bottom and jeans and stood in front of a translucent podium.

“Oklahoma, do you love your freedom?” Palin asked.

All are pretty similar -- I install a lot of these for people...probably the biggest concerns are tiltability and lateral movement.  Also, I'd HIGHLY advise going into studs and not getting cute with any other type of fasteners...50" is one heavy mofo'.

35 I like Sarah so much that it's starting to turn into a mad crush.

36 31 Thanks NG. We a have a car today available in the city, and it is a week delivery on a few online brackets I saw. Right now it's just a big couch table.

37 ...I'd agree with NamGrunt, btw -- HD, Lowe's all have decent -- if you want to save $$ and can wait, order through the net.  Also, make sure you have extra / proper lengths of cable if you're concealing (HDMI, RG6...etc.).

During DST it gets dark later, not earlier.

I don't give a crap if it's dark when I get up to go to work; I'd rather have the daylight when I get home.

41 IIRC, the time zone border goes straight through the middle of Indiana, so they're just taking the level of confusion down slightly.

The 6-year-old son of a Colorado nursing student who ran off to Europe to join a terrorist murder cell was brainwashed into a hate-filled Islamic fundamentalist zombie, his family said Saturday, The New York Post reported.

"He said that Christians will burn in hellfire," the child's grandmother, Christine Mott, told The Post. "That's what they are teaching this baby."...

..."I talked to Huey on Monday. He said they taught him how to shoot a gun," Christine Mott said. "They taught him how to kick and fight . . . We're Democrats. We won't even buy him a toy gun."

45

Every morning I wake up and wonder how my government is going to rip me off today.  We are facing threats the founding fathers could not fathom, we have to hope the checks and balances they put in place will hold.  What keeps me awake nights is thinking that the checks & balances would be enough, but that the traitors currently running at least two branches of the federal govt, and the press, will just ignore the rule of law and start ruling by fiat.

It was Valerie Jarrett (a crook from Chicago and an Obama insider but that's redundant) who said right before the inauguration last year that Obama was, "ready to rule".  That wasn't just a slip of the tongue, it was a freudian slip.

47 Hollowpoint: "Those of us who don't need to get up at 5am to milk the cows really have no use for an earlier sunrise and sunset. Having it go dark at 4:30pm in late fall sucks." You seem confused on two counts: 1) You don't get an earlier sunrise with daylight savings time, you get a later sunrise. That is, my 7 year old has to board the school bus in the dark so he can enjoy an extra hour of daylight in which to lay on the couch with his Nintendo DS. It (theoretically) saves on the light bill. 2) If "having it go dark at 4:30 in the fall sucks", then you would want to stay on Daylight Savings Time, not do away with it.

48 I still have 3 containers of chili I made last winter in the freezer, you have to put a fire extinguisher on the dining table when you eat, it's fantastic.

49 I'm gonna invent a fart-free chili and be a jillionaire!

Um, just take out the beans?

50 50,

Beans in chili?.....blasphemy!

51 Who wants fart-free chili? That stuff's money!

52 Beans in chili?.....blasphemy!

You make your chili without beans? Sold! *holds out bowl* Please, suh, may I have some more?

53

2) If "having it go dark at 4:30 in the fall sucks", then you would want to stay on Daylight Savings Time, not do away with it.

That's why I suggested we stay on DST full time.  Gets light later and stays light later.

You should be glad your kid has more daylight after school.  Gives him more time to cut the lawn after school.  Preferably my lawn.

 

54 Hollowpoint: Sorry for my lack of reading comprehension. I now see that my above point is what you were advocating. Never mind.

62 There is a Boy scout Lodge around the corner from me, I have to get in touch with the Scoutmaster and see how many trusty Scouts he has and then one day I'll grill about 10-12 chickens and make 5gal. of 'tater salad and some pintos and take it up there for one of their meetings, yeah I do shit like that.

63 Ok, now I'm getting hungry. I should probably go hunt up lunch.

"Six AM" is strictly a human construct, but when we standardize measures, it makes it easier for us to work together, communicate and engage in commerce.

Yes, I know you Texans come from the school of spice rubs and not sauce. How do I know? I'm married to a Texan.

My stance on the grilled meat BBQ sauce v rub war?

I like BOTH if they are done right and you get the correct spices.

I just love grilling.

Now on to the hog v cow wars for BBQ!

To me beef ribs end up tasting like jerky after they are done and I have been around to many cookoffs in Texas, they just don't hold the moisture like pork ribs do.

74 I like sauce on my ribs and rub on my brisket. Hey, that sounded kinda dirty!

75 76,

Yep - now that we're back on DST I love life a little more.  The more I get to see the sun the better.  We should stay just like this forever.  Having an extra hour of daylight in winter after work hours would certainly help my S.A. disorder way more than vitamin D pills.

77 Yep, all the bbq joints around here serve dry, but they'll put sauce on if you want it. Most people just get some in a bowl on the side for the occasional dip.

The cow is the greatest domesticated animal of them all.  Look at all the noble cow gives us!  His hide, his glorious meat, his bones.  How many animals have a delicious tongue??  Even his copius dung is of great use to bring fertility to the soil, allowing greater crops of grain for distilling of precious vokda.

Though I must say, the pig is also a very fine beast.  It is almost magical how many fine gustatory treats can be made from its various bits.  Something for everyone, really.  As a black friend of mine says - you can eat them from the rooter to the tooter.  Alas - his stink is truly prodigious.

beef ribs are blasphemy too...

Wow, from a Texan too!

Some of my wife's relative say that any BBQ besides beef is blasphemy. Anyway, I have never been able to get ribs to come out right. The closest I have ever came was trying to follow the directions this black guy gave me who came around trying to sell stuff one time (we wound up sitting at my pool drinking beer and talking shit).

He said you had to boil then first to partially cook them and then grill them over high heat to get them done the rest of the way.  I tried that and they were "fall off the bone" juicy and tendor but didn't have the flavor I liked.

Currently my favorite BBQ on a grill is pork loin wrapped in foil initially with CHS BBQ sauce in the foil. I cook that on the grill for 45 min then remove the foil and grill straight up about 5 min on each side.

That works out to be "cut it with a fork" tender and still spicy. As for beef on the grill. That where rib-eye comes in to play and putting any kind of sauce on a steak IS blasphemy.

84

DST is for urbanites, not farmers. Roosters crow at the sun; they have no idea what time it is.

"Six AM" is strictly a human construct, but when we standardize measures, it makes it easier for us to work together, communicate and engage in commerce.

DST = Good. 

Standard time = Bad.

I'd rather the rooster crow at 8am than 7am.

I was mistaken about AZ though- I thought they stayed on DST all year; turns out they stay on Standard Time.  Might be good for them because of the unbearably hot summers though.

Here in MN, the sun stays up a long time in Summer, but a short time in Winter.  Come June 21st, sunrise will be at 5:26am and sunset at 9:03pm.  December 21st sunrise is at 7:48am, sunset at 4:33pm.  I'd rather that December sunrise and sunset come an hour later.

85

OK, this right here, is hi-larious, from the comment above about the terrorist woman's child:

"They taught him how to kick and fight . . . We're Democrats. We won't even buy him a toy gun."

 

 

86 Vic,

Grilling or smoking pork ribs is easy, 1st use dale's seasoning as a marinade in the frig for 24hrs, (DO NOT ADD SALT) then splash beer occasionally on them while they're cooking, I have a concoction of a rub I have used for years from a champeen brisket cooker, my mama always wondered why I slapped her after dinner was over.

87 How many animals have a delicious tongue??

I think the tongue is my absolute favorite part of a cow. Mmmmmmm!

I don't shoot golf because it takes too many for a meal and I don't know how to cook them anyway, but you're right about the daylight, I usually don't start fishing until 4 or 5pm.

92 Unless I go offshore then it's daylight because of the distance involved about 60 or 70 miles out.

If I can't find it I'll try the 24 hour marinade in something else.

Been here in AZ for almost 20 years, and I do like not changing clocks. On the down-side, since most others do try to mess with the natural rhythm of things, twice a year I have to figure out when things are going to show up on satellite TV.

I think most of the reasons I've heard for the creation of Savings Time are BS. I'm pretty sure it was somebody with the intellectual (in)capacity of Algore who was sure he knew how to make things better for everybody else and ended up confusing most of the population twice a year.

98 Now I'm anxious for summer.  Nothing's better than standing around a grill with friends, drinking a cold beer, cooking up some ribs or seasoned burger paddies and veggies...
