Remember, man, that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Chaos will rise again, and in the end, there will be only chaos!

6 Mortality is never far from my mind.

Though once embraced, makes life sweeter, not darker.

True enough. I doubt, however, that the news that you would live 1000 years would cause depression.

chrisr:  what is your "handle" at HA?

after struggling with passwords for months at Townhall, I just gave up.

But first some background. In the Dollar Crisis, published in 2003, Duncan explained how the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1973 was always going to lead to a global financial crisis due to the trade imbalances it encouraged and created.  Based on the premise, Duncan successfully predicted the subprime problem, the downfall of government sponsored agencies as well as the banking crisis (and related bailouts) weÂ’ve all — seven years on — come to know and love.

In DuncanÂ’s words, the collapse of Bretton Woods represented the moment “capitalism became corrupted by government debt”.  From that point on “US policymakers abandoned the core principles of economic orthodoxy: balanced government budgets and sound money”.

If you have night seen Chris Horner's dossier on NASA's East Anglia syndrome...go, right now.

There is a time and a season for all things.

And right about now is the time and season to put these criminal charlatans out to pasture.  Said pasture being at the bottom of a very tall cliff.  This is the greatest lie in history and the American dinosaur media just can't bring itself to notice. 

chrisr:  maybe with the new ownership, they'll open it up again.

i hope it doesn't go evangelical like Rev. Robertson etc.

Dammit.

Great way to start the day, Circa.

Remember, man, that you are dust and to dust you shall return

And I am here to help that process along.

From the administration that never stops patting itself on the back

Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) -- The Obama administration is marking the one-year anniversary of economic stimulus legislation with efforts to show the measure sparked economic growth and curbed rising unemployment.

In the first annual report on the legislation, Vice President Joe Biden wrote that the government spending “halted an economic freefall.” Administration officials are fanning out across the nation this week to more than 35 cities to tout the measure’s success.

“We’ve already made the largest investment in clean energy in history,” spending that is “expected to create more than 700,000 jobs across America,” Obama said yesterday at a union hall in Lanham, Maryland.

You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you.

He never wanted you.

In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen.

expected to create more than 700,000 jobs

More reliable:  Obama administration job estimates, NASA climate data or tarot cards?

In my parish they gave up saying that and now say "Repent and believe the good news!"

I kinda liked the dust thing better.  Has a wonderful way of focusing the mind.

I see many here think Amy Bishop won't get death in 'Bama. I disagree. Maybe we should have a pool?

Well Maddog, on the previous thread I took a slightly different stance. many were saying she would get the juice sure thing because she was now in a Southern town where more common sense prevails.

My position is that Hintsville is not like most Southern towns. It is a high tech city with a large influx of people from all over the country. Think "research triangle" in NC.

The one thing that may mitigate that is a tendancy of the "I'm smarter than you rednecks" crowd to try to avoid jury duty.

I'm sure the defense attorney will go for the insanety defence. That normally doesn't work very well in the South because even if they are shown to be bug-fk crazy violent people will vote to fry them because they want to be assured that they NEVER are back on the street again.

Of course, the liberal courts now try to get around that by overriding the jury. But, they have done that in the past by applying the old "low IQ" standard.  That will not work in this case so they will have to hunt for some more "pnenumbras".

This is a toss-up in my opinion.

First you have to know, not fear, know that someday you will die.

I think when the apocalypse comes, I'm going to Kratos' house. I can deal with chaos. It's this hyper-organized statist march toward the sun that I can't stand.

Not transcripts but hey, you take what you can get.  Am I right?

Excellent final scenes

A pity the Church doesn't use that one much these days.

One wonders why AP is now always on Toyota's case? They didn't use to be.

I am taking my soul with me.

They allow the O'Jays into the afterlife?  Is that carry on or checked baggage?

Here's a ZH quote for ya (coming from Bloomberg): Goldman Sachs didn't disclose swap, investors "fooled"

Wow. Think they'll be making space up in Ithaca's state pen for these wiseguys?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – White House economic adviser Christina Romer said on Wednesday that the U.S. employment picture was stable, with job growth expected by spring.

"Right now the employment numbers look basically stable," Romer said days after the U.S. jobless rate for January fell to a five-month low of 9.7 percent, just below the psychologically important 10 percent mark.

"We think we're going to see positive job growth by spring," she told ABC.

And if not they'll just make the numbers up.

"Right now the employment numbers look basically stable," Romer said days after the U.S. jobless rate for January fell to a five-month low of 9.7 percent, just below the psychologically important 10 percent mark.

I'll take grandiose misleading statements for 787 billion, Alex.

I can't imagine he could sell it if he wanted to.  After all, there are probably all manner of legacy liability issues for a prospective new operator - related to sexual harrassment, binge drinking of Valu-rite, and hobo hunting.  For anyone but Ace this site would be what I believe they call a "toxic asset."

Can anyone make out what Negro dialect form of Ebonics is being spoken by that one combatant and his compatriots with the snoop dog hair style who's skin color must never be named?

Life for Bishop would be preferable--avoids the unwanted attention of capital punishment, endless appeals, and her becoming a cause celebre. 

After a year behind bars with her attitude, she'll wind up getting shivved anyway.  Hell, I'll contribute a carton of Virginia Slims for the deed. 

will Ace ever sell out?

I believe the going rate is one large-breasted Japanese model and a lifetime supply of Slim Jims. 

It's on E-Bay.  Still no bidders.

FIFY.

Rass has him at a -11 so he is not at 50-50, although he has recovered fsome from -17.

They go up and down based on noise in the polls.  That is why the polls have an accuracy of about 5%.

Rass is the best poll, but none of them are infallable.

"Driven in part by the desire to locate the luge and bobsled track for the 2010 Vancouver Games in a high-traffic tourist area with cold temperatures, planners chose a valley at Whistler resort that was steeper and narrower than sites of previous Olympic tracks, according to press reports and interviews with those involved.

The result was a track whose speeds marked a quantum leap in a sport where even small increases require big adjustments from the athletes. After trials of the track in 2008, the course's German designer says he told the Vancouver Games' organizers and the international luge and bobsledding governing bodies that he was revising the track's projected luge speed upward by 5.5%—to 96 miles an hour—nearly nine miles an hour faster than the standing 2000 world speed record."

A similar thing happened to me once(w/a similar ending) Assholes like that count on using there race ala Al Sharpton, Jesse J. etc.  to intimidate people. The one thing they don't take into account though is the crazy white boy factor. Hopefully this thug learned his lesson.

The poor deluded nitwit appears to ascribe the entire backlash against the IPCC and questioning of his Gaia Cult to the snow in Washington.

Yes, the FOIA requests on CRU and NASA were made years ago with the knowledge that a blizzard would strike Washington in February, 2010.

Hey, if manbearpig can claim to know the average temperature on earth to within a tenth of a degree in 2050, why not?

It's Ash Wednesday.

As a taxpayer, I'd just as soon they did away with the death penalty. We end up paying for all of the endless appeals. In Pennsylvania they can't even stick a needle in a cop-killer like Mumia, and this is like 20 some odd years later. Just make the terms so long there's no hope for parole and let all the killers mingle together every day in a 100 X 100 foot area with a ten foot high barbed wire fence, for about an hour. Unsupervised.

Appeals should be limited to 3. Execution should cost approximately $50 bucks ( executioner's fee). With one each 9 mm cartridge tossed in by the government. or more economical, a rope. A rope is biodegradable, and reusable.

On this day in history in 1801 the U.S. had a breif respite from the actions of the big government liberals when Thomas Jefferson was elected president by the House of Representatives.

The next 8 years werre probably the best this country, as a nation, ever had.  We have gone way down hill since then.

Monorail!!!

Heh.  Nice.

Or maybe they just aren't Cathaholic.  I give a leaf offering to Gaia every other Saturday.

And wouldn't a quick fix have been some kind of bird protection screen?

My understanding is that those windfarms are operating now. The bird issue was resolved by making the blade design so that they rotate much slower.

The last I heard what the the green idiots were blocking was a solar array in the desert.  They were blocking it based on the environmental impact of the solar collectors and the high voltage lines from the array to the grid.

This is proof positive that they really don't give a shit about the environment and they just want to destroy the U.S. and all Western governments.

This is the anarchist side of the "green" movement, as opposed to the Gaia side and the watermellon side.

Was that interview with the Governator posted here?  Can't remember where I read it.

It has been several months since I read it and I don't remember where it was. I'm sure about an hour on Bing and we could find it, but is it worth the effort?

I would give up this blog for lent, but...

ABOVE THE FOLD in today's Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

"Top Texas officials sue feds over greenhouse-gas plan"

Don't mess with Texas.....

As a Catholic, one of the things I'll be repenting for is living in a civilization that treats this astonishing planet as something to be used rather than conserved.

Matthew 25, foolish virgin. Jesus mentions fuel oil once: he says, bring enough.
