There is No News Today. Like, None.
— Ace

I'm really not taking the day off. I woke up late, yeah, but I've been reading for the last three hours and I'm finding bubkis.

Ugghhh... Okay, time to do some kind of post about sex/the differences between men and women/naughty parts.

It's a slow news day when I resort to reading the feminist blogs and doing Google news searches for Penis, Vagina, and Breasts. I haven't had do that in while, thankfully.

Okay, time to manufacture a post.

Oh: Please consider this me pushing the panic button and asking for anything you have, tip-wise.

Some more BS from the professional race baiters who have raised the “I am offended meme” to an art form.  From the NY Post

 

NBC's lost 'soul'; 'Racial' menu nixed

 

A special NBC Black History Month lunch spread -- featuring fried chicken, collard greens and black-eyed peas -- sparked a commissary controversy yesterday, but the African-American chef who planned it doesn't understand the fuss.


Fried chicken, collards, and black-eyed peas is racial???  Come on assholes that sounds like a good Southern meal to me.  How ‘bout sending that chef down here to me.  I could use a good home cooked meal (done by somebody besides me)

 
(and yes, they pulled the menu instead of saying kiss my ass. After all it is NBC)

 

The left paints the movement as a largely white and middle-class mob – and as including kooks who equate President Obama with Joseph Stalin.

The top 100 AOS Moron cities

 

Hey Ace, here is a list for the cities to hold the nationwide get-together in.

 

But not to worry, it is just another hit piece by the asshole who want to bring back prohibition.  From the article:

 

We looked at annual death rates due to alcoholic liver disease, as well as who's headed there by regularly downing five or more drinks in a sitting (CDC). Next, we factored in drunk-driving arrests (FBI) and the percentage of fatal accidents involving intoxicated motorists (U.S. Department of Transportation). Then, after tallying the MADD report card of state efforts to cut down on excessive drinking, we had our ranking and, for the state of Colorado, an invitation to AA.

 

In other words, it is manufactured BS.

30 Is going to a legitimate Dominatrix precisely as innocent but exactly the opposite of getting a message?

The customer is naked in both instances and the Domme, while dressing provocatively, never gets naked and never provides release for her subject. So instead of getting sensually rubbed with lotions and oil the Domme customer gets lightly beaten with a stick.

I think going to a Dominatrix would be more innocent than your typical message. My wife doesn't think so.

79 Over at The Hill, Markos Moulitsas:

‘Center-right nation’ mythOne of the favorite axioms of Washington’s chattering class is the notion that “America is a center-right nation.” The Democratic wave in the 2006 and 2008 elections forced Beltway pundits to shelve that piece of received wisdom for a few years — after all, what kind of center-right nation gives the center-left Democrats a 59-41 seat majority in the Senate, or a 235-198 majority in the House of Representatives?

Well, the old chestnut is back, having been gleefully revived in the wake of Scott BrownÂ’s special-election victory in Massachusetts. But empirical evidence still shows that Americans, by and large, donÂ’t favor the right.

From lifenews.com:

Tebow was introduced by Senator Johnny Isakson, of Georgia, as "a role model for the youth of America."

He joked that he found he funny a fan of the University of Georgia would invite a former member of the Florida Gators to present the prayer.

Tebow joked, "It is rather incredible that a Georgia Bulldog invited a Florida Gator, so you can see the hand of God here."

Reports indicate Obama left shortly beore Tebow's prayer -- and the video of his prayer shows Tebow not mentioning Obama.

94 We can always discuss Greece and Portugal. Which one defaults first? On the one hand, the Greeks are out demonstrating in the streets for more free little boys and sheeppensions and unfireable gubmint jobs. On the other hand, Portugal has decided to bail out the regional administration of the Madeira island despite being told "don't DO that" by the Portuguese finance minister.

And there's always "in the end, there will be only chaos" news.

I wonder when the US will "default".

106 My opinion varies due to the proximity of the stupid and offensive but right now "Joy" Behar is about number one on my list of idiot liberal talk show hosts.  First we have her comments on The View yesterday (covered by Beck this morning) to the effect that abortion is good because you never know when some fetus will grow up to be a racist pedophile and then on her show last night she was all up in arms against Fox News because the word "news" is right in the name of the channel and yet they let opinion shows like Beck, O'Reilly, and Hannity on.  This, of course was on her show on the Headline NEWS channel.

I really think her momma missed the boat naming her "Joy."  "Auschwitz" Behar would have been more appropriate.

107 The Democratic wave in the 2006 and 2008 elections forced Beltway pundits to shelve that piece of received wisdom for a few years — after all, what kind of center-right nation gives the center-left Democrats a 59-41 seat majority in the Senate, or a 235-198 majority in the House of Representatives?

The 2006 campaign was about whether the Republicans were spending too much and too gay , corrupt(Craig, Foley, etc)

The 2008 campaign was about the Obama phenomenon and who would cut taxes and the deficit more.

Not really an endorsement for liberalism as far as I can tell. Especially since most Democrat voters thought the Republicans were still running the corrupt and wasteful 2006-8 congress...

Beck played it this morning.

The ad talks about how Tebow's mom was encouraged to abort. She didn't and now he's a football star.

Behar said that wasn't a sound argument because "he just as easily could have been a rapist pedophile".

193 145 Three countries in Europe are going tits-up economically:
Fears of 'Lehman-style' tsunami as crisis hits Spain and Portugal The Greek debt crisis has spread to Spain and Portugal in a dangerous escalation as global markets test whether Europe is willing to shore up monetary union with muscle rather than mere words.

 

According to WSJ op-ed today:

"In truth, Greeks can blame their political class.  The country for too long lived far above its means, then lied about it (as the European Commission noted last month) by 'deliberately misreporting' its public finances.  It's deficit is now 13% of GDP....Given its relatively small size, the market fears go beyond Greece to the other members of the ignoble club known as PIGS:  Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain.  Their bond spreads are also widening against Germany, the so-called responsible euro-zone member.  A Greek debt default could possibly spread to the others, though the threat of global contaigon is slight if the world economy keeps recovering."

Oh, I didn't mean to imply I doubted the poll, just think it's stupid.

But, looking at the results, the Republicans are evenly split, they really don't prefer the Colts.  The Dems and Independents are 'for' the Saints (the folks who have an opinion).  I am not sure I'd necessarily assume Independents are predominantly liberals at this point (see: Brown, Scott).

I am sick of the Katrina stuff, but Drew Brees is a great guy and most definitely not a liberal.

Scott Lee Cohen, Democrat candidate for Lt. Governor of Illinois is a hell of a guy.

He allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend, who was a hooker message therapist, and put a knife to her throat

His ex-wife got an order of protection against him. After bragging to his wife about his affairs he tried to "force himself sexually on her". He owes $54,000 in back child support

He abused steroids.

Has a bit of a Federal Tax problem.

Posted by: Scott J. at February 05, 2010 01:46 PM (NY7mQ)

I support your sterilization concept and have advocated it for years.  I, however, am not particularly concerned over whether it's reversible.  Indeed, of all the government give-aways people have thought up, this is perhaps the one I can most easily support.  Let the Libs line up and be rendered infertile.  The world would be a better place.

In a case the state is not forcing anyone to be sterilized - but merely incentivizing it by making it a precondition for welfare - I think it is quite compatible with our existing constitutional freedoms.

Yes, but even the world's most potent man can't impregnate a sterile female.  The trouble is that in a dirty slum you will always have a few unsterilized males, roving around like stray cats, and they will be quite sufficient to impregnate all the local women - rest assured.  The only effective measure is to sterilize the women - the baby factories are thus shut down.  The man is really just a raw material supplier, which is easily replaced.  The woman carries the production machinery.

the ignoble club known as PIGS:  Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain

That explains the acronym PIIGS at ZeroHedge - they add the Irish to that list.

BTW, I found a map on French Wikipedia. "Public debt [as a] percent [of] gdp: world map". Link on my name.

Remember the concept of debt tolerance: a country like Albania in 1991 can be forced into default when debt = only 16% of its gdp, because nobody trusts Albanians with more than 16%. However Costa Ricans are trusted with a lot more (I recall that when they defaulted they were pushing 130%).

I take it we're trusted with our debt primarily because we're too big to fail.

3) Pawn shop owner: check

All alleged, but alleged in divorce proceedings and police reports just like was alleged in the case of Jack Ryan which the press in Illinois litigated in Los Angeles County Family Court to obtain.

Yes, Black people like fried chicken. Just like every sentient member of the human race. Show me someone -- of any ethnic heritage -- who doesn't enjoy a savory meal of fried chicken, and I will show you someone who must be regarded with suspicion -- nay, contempt. It is a cherished staple of our nation's cuisine, to which African-American chefs have made immeasurable proud contributions. It is an undeniable fact, as anyone who has ever dined at Harold's Chicken Shack in Chicago or Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles in Los Angeles can attest.

On the subject of local taxes from the Charleston newspaper (which is not quite as liberal as the Columbia rag): (posted earlier)

 

Rex proposes rise in cigarette tax

COLUMBIA — Anti-tobacco and education groups have joined the state schools chief in calling on legislators to increase the state's cigarette tax to the national average.

State Superintendent Jim Rex said Thursday that the state's 7-cents-per-pack cigarette tax should be increased by $1.27 per pack. He wants half of the additional revenue to go toward education temporarily so the state can stop looming teacher furloughs.

The state's lowest-in-the-nation cigarette tax has not changed since 1977. misleading crap since SC joined the BS tobacco lawsuit wing resulting in a huge increase in cigarette prices in SC.  SC still has got no money from that settlement BTW and they have already spent the money.  Look for calls to “how we should spend the money” if they ever do get it.

The Democratic gubernatorial candidate said South Carolina's cigarette tax should be tied to the national average so that it automatically increases when other states raise theirs.

House Ways and Means Chairman Dan Cooper said lawmakers are unlikely to seriously consider the idea.

 

I just love this kind of shit from the commie weanies. Why is it you NEVER hear of one of them calling for a decrease in the tax when it is above the national average.  Hey cockholster Jim Rex! HereÂ’s an idea for youÂ…IÂ’ll be all for increasing the tax on cigarettes (since I donÂ’t smoke any more) if at the same time you decrease the tax on beer to the national average.  Yes, SC has the second highest tax in the nation on beer (AK is the highest).

The Toyota dealer wanted almost a grand, including the water pump change out. I was surprised how good of shape the old bet was in, considering the Toyota had 174,000 miles and has in been service for 2X its design life.

I bet it would.  To add some zing, you could grate a bit of orange zest into it.

The nice thing about the jams is that it makes a glaze.  The orange slices would be lovely, too, but I think the jams are more decadent.

Good piece at WSJ by Eric Felten "New Episodes of Scientists Behaving Badly".  (Sorry I'm too lazy to link it!)  Anyways it gives a quick run down of the current shams perpetrated in the name of science.  One case I'd never heard of:

"Or how about the case of Cello Energy of Alabama?  Investors had poured millions into the company, which claimed it had devised a high-tech process for turning wood pulp and grasses into biodiesel.  The Environmental Protection Agency had been counting on the firm to produce more than half of the 'cellulosic biofuel' in the country this year.  Belatedly, the moneymen decided to do some due diligence and took a sample of Cello's biodiesel to an independent lab--and found that it was just old fashioned fossil fuel dressed up in a new green bottle.  In June a federal jury in Alabama found that investors had been defrauded and ordered Cello to pay $10.4 million in punitive damages.  What are the odds that, with the government belching billions into green technology research, we see repeats of the Cello fiasco?"

Uh, yeah!  And what's up with the EPA "counting on" a firm to produce more than half a product they are supposed to regulate?  I hope that people in the EPA got burned cause they invested in this company in kind of an insider trading sort of way (at least that's what it sounds like to ignorant little old me).  Of course I didn't go to an Ivy League school nor do my pants have sharp creases.  Maybe someone in the "smart set" can 'splain it to me.
