From the UK Guardian: The doctors also recommended "moderation of alcohol intake". Now, why did the NYT ignore that little detail? How much is Barry drinking these days?

The hoops-happy chief executive, who has endured an exhausting White House run and yearlong battles with congressional Republicans, was otherwise declared in excellent health and fit for duty.

Unreported From Health Summit: Obama Says “Obamacare” for First Timehttp://tiny.cc/lqewT

68 If Ras has this douchebag up 9 points, the only conclusion I draw is that the kabuki summit helped him.  Considering how well the Repubs wiped the floor with him policy-wise, it doesn't bode well regarding the aggregate IQ of Americans.  This is not good.

69 67 An Olympic uptick?  I've noticed that his ratings go up if he hasn't been prominiently featured in the news cycle for a few days; give him a week.

70 Look, he's seen FLOTUS naked, heck, a lot of us have, give the guy a break.

71 It just occurred to me that his poll numbers are up because Americans feel sorry for him.  That is what he was trying to do, get sympathy and we missed it entirely.  The Republicans were masterful, trounced the dems monumentally and the watchers came away with how evil those republicans are cause they are so tough.  I'm beginning to think that this is an anti parent kind of thing more than anything else and guess what?  the republicans have been set up as the parents.

72

Barry is up 9 points? Sherrif Joe will fuck that up by wednesday.

73 nice try Al. can you please explain rising sea levels while also arguing more water evaporation from the oceans as the cause for all these winter storms?

74 Good morning M&M's hope everyone enjoyed their weekends,now back to your regularly scheduled lives with the Olympics over and done with.

75 Last night was a bummer had to listen to two beer salesmen tell me that beer sales were down and they were worried about their income.

76 It's time for a certain Alaskan lady to post a reminder of just what a nightmare ObamaCare is.

77 So someone said they heard on Fox news this weekend that "Ram was considering leaving"  and then I heard them quizzing Mara about this the night before.  And there were reports that he wants his old seat back.  So wonder if this is all leading to him quitting?  Wonder if the firing of the social secretary was just the beginning of the firing of Val and a lot of the others.  Self preservation and all that.

I really shouldn't have taken that mental health month.

And I really really shouldn't have taken the second mental health month.

The question of the week:

"Mr. President, have you moderated your alcohol intake yet?"

79 The grenade throw was hilarious (thank goodness it was a training grenade and not the real thing).

It was a smoke round, used for screening.  harder for the enemy to shoot what they can't see, don't you know.  Also useful for marking own position when calling in air support.

80

Well the numbers are in for February weather here.  The average high was 52.2 and the average low was 30.8.  The average median temp was 41.5.

That is compared with 54.1/36.5/45.3 from last year.  Compare that to the NWS average for Feb 15th of 63/41/52.

Yes, Al Bore is whining big time about his scam going to hell, The Weather Channel and the rest of the libtard idiots are talking about cold weather vs "climate" When an entire month is way colder than the past year, and the past year was way colder than normal it ain't weather no more.

Its the climate people. If this keeps up I will have to get rid of my heat pump and go to an oil fired furnace. Heat pumps do not work well below 32°F which is why you don't see them up North.  

81 80 The post has an editorial by liberal hack Colbert King today or Sat (both papers were on the kit table this morning) defending Rahm and saying all Obama's problems were because he didn't follow Rahm's advice.

82

"Mr. President, have you moderated your alcohol intake yet?"

Great. We've gone from ridiculing a recoverring alcoholic, to covering for an admitted drug dealer with high alcohol consumption.

So..barry, Van Jones and Burris have been smoking blunts, drinking 40's and yelling at chicks from the steps of the W.H. ?

Pretty f'ng sad when I'm more of a role model than our Precedent.

88 I believe Obama HAS cut down his alcohol intake somewhat, as of yesterday: he bet Prime Minister Stephen Harper a case of beer that the Americans would beat the Canadians in hockey. If the Americans had won the gold, he'd have collected a 24-pack of "Yuengling" beer, whatever that is. Now he owes Harper 24 Molsons, though God knows when he'll ever pay up.

91

What makes a heat pump different? The HVAC unit out back says "heat pump" on it and that is all I know.

A heat pump is basically an A/C unit with piping and solenoids that allow it to reverse cycle.  In the heating mode it attempts to cool the outdoors and reject heat from outdoors into the house.

Normally this is the most economic method of heating a house.  The problem is that when the outdoor temp gets below 32°F it has a tough time "cooling" any further, not to mention the coils start freezing up which requires it to reverse cycle to thaw them.

When it gets below 32 the internal strip heaters cut on and they suck electricity like no tommorrow. When the average low temp goes below 32 it means your strip heaters are running at night all the time.  

I have been using just below 600KW per week for the past month and that is damn high for a 1600 sq ft house.

93

The article by Rick Moran is very interesting.

No 'poison food plot' at Fort Jackson but 4 Muslims discharged from army?

"Given the whitewash of what happened at Fort Hood, the news that an army investigation has concluded there was no plot to poison the food at Fort Jackson but that 4 of the 5 translators involved have been dismissed from the army, I think some further clarification is in order."

 

94

How awesome would it be if Barry got caught on tape a la Marion Barry?  Sigh.  I come up with these awesome scenarios, and then I remember: President Plugs.

President plugs WOULD be a repeat of teh Jimmy Cahtar.  That would be better than the Obama who is ctively trying to destroy the country so he can rem,ake it in a communist mode. Plugs would just be incompetant as hell and screw everything up but not destroy it.

95 94  The ones they advertise not-quite-as-far-north as me are "ground source" heat pumps, which circulate water into underground pipes to cool/warm it.  Circulating 60 degree water through the house to "heat" it doesn't work well when it is "ass-cold" outside.  My house up here in frozen Iowa is 1900 sq. feet with a high-efficiency gas furnace from 1996 (along with gas dryer and water heater); gas bill last month was $105. 

96

Thanks, Vic.

It sure sends out a blast of hot air.

I gotta get the duct work cleaned or replaced because the previous owners...well, long story, but smoke and dust are not making my eyes feel very good when the heat is on.

Not really smoke of course, but it seemed easier than saying "crap from tar residue."

98 Interesting talk radio: AZ congressman said that black abortion rates are akin to slavery.

The left wing propaganda that is called Yahoo news is running this story from the Huffington Post.

104 Mama AJ - we have a heat pump/air conditioner in our bedroom. It's fairy effective where we live, in CT, which gets really cold, but the bills are expensive, since it's electric. Oddly enough, though, when we use it as an air conditioner in summer, the bills are less costly. But we also have a propane fireplace in the bedroom and we use that 90 percent of the time. The heat pump tends to be rather noisy and we bought a very modern unit a few years ago.

105 In voicing support for a simple majority vote,

Yeah, they got elected by lying to the American people and now that they have huge majorities based on fraud, they want a vote. Why not this? Why not write the bill, get it all prettied up and let Congressmen run for or against it? A real referendum.

A simple majority vote.

111 Your fridge works off a heat pump too MamaAJ. Heat pumps circulate a compressible fluid around. When its compressed it releases heat (ie outside the food compartment of the fridge) where its allowed to expand it will absorb heat. Some of the home heating/cooling models can flip the compression from inside to outside to go from heating to cooling. There can still be heat pumps up north but the outside coils have to be in a well or deep enough in the ground to be at a steady temperature of around 50-55F. I have the mental image of folks building makeshift greenhouses around their air to air heat pump heating systems in winter.

112

The heat pump tends to be rather noisy and we bought a very modern unit a few years ago.

This unit is amazingly loud. I have no idea how old it is. Given that the last owners didn't take care of anything, I really need to get it serviced and see what state it's in.

Our electric bill was $90 or so the first couple months and the last bill was $190, but compared to our old house, it's great! There we paid $200-$400 a month.

113

A study in media bias see the following headline and lead paragraph for an AP article about Bunning and the unemployment extension.  Fox rewrote the AP news article for its own purposes.

 

Fox:

 

Administration Blames Bunning's 'Political Games' for Furlough of 2,000 Workers

 

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood blasted Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning Monday for blocking legislation to extend several federal programs, a move that triggered the furlough of 2,000 transportation workers Monday

 

Original from AP (via MSNBC)

 

Senate impasse puts federal employees out of work.

 

WASHINGTON - Two thousand federal transportation workers are being furloughed without pay on Monday, and the Obama administration said they have a Kentucky senator to blame for it.

 

So it goes from mearly biased liberal to outright Dem PR.  And what is the truth?

 

Bunning wants them to adhere to the just passed Dem PR bill called paygo in which they claimed they would start balancing the budget by forcing all bills to be paid for.  Basically what that means is they want a tax increase for every new bill but they figure that would have about as much chance now as the healthscam crap so they will not even try.

 

Of course, if they floated a bill to cut some welfare bloat the RÂ’s would flock to voite FOR it. (except for Mclame and Lindsey that is).

 

114 Happy birthday Di! It is your birthday today, right?

Not really smoke of course, but it seemed easier than saying "crap from tar residue."

When the strip heaters first cut on if they are covered with dust that dust will burn away and make smoke but it should clear up after a few minutes. This is normal at the begging of the cold season.  If it doesn't clear up after a few minutes something is bad wrong and you need to get it checked soon.

119 We paid about $4,000 (cost of unit and labour) for our wall mounted heat pump/air conditioner. As I say, it was one of the better ones from Samsung. But it is noisy, especially if you're trying to go to sleep. And when we used it, our electric bills were really high, even if we set it to a normal temperature like 65 degrees or so. Now, however, something happened to it, it started freaking out with a crazy loud noise and we haven't used it in months. I have to get it fixed. But as I say, in summer, as an air conditioner, it is fabulous and cools our bedroom which is very large, and the ceilings are cathedral height.

As I said, they don't work very well when the outside is below 32°F.  I would shut it off when it is below 32 outside and go strictly with the gas.

Fox News story:

Chile's defense minister said Sunday that the navy made a mistake by not immediately issuing a tsunami warning after a mammoth earthquake, a step that could have helped coastal villagers flee to higher ground sooner.

Francisco Vidal said, however, that an alarm was later sounded by port captains. He said that saved hundreds if not thousands of lives.

...

Many of the more than 708 known dead from the quake were in Chile's coastal regions swamped by the tsunami.

That should be an "accessory to murder", 2 counts and "felony child endangerment", 1 count, to Al Gore

141 I have been using just below 600KW per week for the past month and that is damn high for a 1600 sq ft house.

That's about 10 seconds at Al Gore's house.

Yeah, and, what in the HELL is wrong with the British?

143 Chile sounds like they have huge problems but haven't asked for help yet. If they don't ask for help until tomorrow and it takes days for help to arrive, that could be very very bad for the people without food and water now.

144 I'm from close by there, though never actually been. But I've read Pottsville's other claim to fame John O'Hara's An Appointment In Samarra. He also wrote Butterfield 8 and Pal Joey.

It's most likely Greasy Joe reminded the President about America's Oldest Brewery. I wish he'd gotten his sentimental education during the election, but look who he grew up with. He's got his work cut out for him.

145 148 Chile sounds like they have huge problems but haven't asked for help yet.

I thought they had.  I've seen that they're asking for help on our local news over the weekend...

... I just checked the web and CBS is reporting that Chile only officially asked the UN for help this morning. 

So my local news (LA) sucks, I guess. 

146 Oh, and PLEASE keep smoking, Barry!

Sorry, I don't have all day to explain that.

148 Barack Obama is a lush.  Doctors tell him to "moderate" alcohol intake.

http://bit.ly/djKh2d

Between this and his inability to quit smoking makes me wonder if we have a President with a propensity towards substance abuse.  What's next, Xanax?  Meth?  Crack cocaine?

149 Now that I'm back in Brooklyn, I'm partial to Schaefer beer, too.

Okay, I didn't see anything about that on Fox's site, but they have more on video than articles so it was probably on one of the videos!

It's still going to take a while to get help there, isn't it?

151 Heh, looks like ABCNews is crashing and burning.  Drudge just linked a story. 

152 130 It's not Spotted Cow.  *sniff*

Meanwhile...Matt Damon 'Disappointed' in Obama

Tears of unfathomable sadness...yummy!

Matt Damon, MMMMAAAATTTTTTTTT DDDDAAAAAMMMMOOOONNNN

153 It's still going to take a while to get help there, isn't it?

Absolutely. 

I wonder why the Chileans delayed at all.  I was just confused because I thought our news was reporting that they'd asked for help already... but I guess it wasn't through official channels or whatever. 

It's a shame that they are having problems with looting already.

154 Between this and his inability to quit smoking makes me wonder if we have a President with a propensity towards substance abuse.

Don't forget his two major addictions: to the sound of his own voice and the sight of his own reflection.

Seriously, though, he does seem to have an addictive personality. 

_{I sure feel safe with him in charge.  /sarc}

155 40 toby928 sounds like he has ebola. Get to a doc, poste haste!

156 @147 - since it all transpired in Argentina, I don't know that the British bear any responsibility. You can't blame the Brits for spawning Al Gore.

157 7 I hate Monday.   This IS Monday?

158

The doctors also recommended "moderation  massive amounts of alcohol intake".

 

FIFY

159

If Ras has this douchebag up 9 points, the only conclusion I draw is that the kabuki summit helped him.

Maybe it's because of the Olympics.  Heck, if he can cure the world, he can make us win medals.

160 If they don't ask for help until tomorrow and it takes days for help to arrive, that could be very very bad for the people without food and water now.

But would an army of helpful sorts, clogging up the ports be of any practical use in getting food and water to those who might be cut off right now?

This site gives the relative costs for heating using different mechanisms. Since it is a site dedicated to selling natural gas it is biased toward that factor.

You can see the difference between electric baseboard heat/electric furnace (at 7.16 cents/kw) which is what your heat pump becomes when it is below 32°F outside and a high efficiency heat pump (which is what I have also 7.2/kw).

They assume a relatively low cost for NG and propane (2.47/gal propane). I have gas logs attached to a 90 lb propane tank that I had been using when it got real cold outside.  The local gas company went up to over $4.00/gal for propane so I quit using it except when I lost power.  I don't know what NG costs here because it is not available at all.  Note that #2 fuel oil is actually a lot higher than a heat pump or even an electric furnace.  Fuel oil is what most people in the NE use.

Notice that if you hook your heat pump to a deepwell the costs go down markedly.  That is because the temp it is using for a heat sink stays at 65°F.

In the South most people use heat pumps because they can perform both heating and cooling with the same system and "normally" the temperatures remain above 32°F in the Winter so it stays economical.  My normal weekly usage in the Winter is around 300KW.  In the spring and fall with the heat pump off I use about 200KW/wk just for other household loads (mostly hot water heater and clothes dryer).

It just needs to get back to the "normal" temps here.  I could use some of that damn globull warming crap.

I actually saw someone spinning (I think at Althouse) that "moderation of alcohol intake" might mean that the doctors told him to increase his drinking.  Bwahaha! 

This is from the American Diabetes Association web site:

The greatest benefit of alcohol appears to fall within study quintiles that include people drinking 15–30 g/day of alcohol, which can be considered “light to moderate drinking.” One drink of alcohol is commonly defined as 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of wine, or 1.5 oz of distilled spirits (hard liquor), each the equivalent of about 15 g of alcohol.

Studies suggest a “J” or “U” shaped curve: a small amount of alcohol per day is better than either no alcohol or a large amount of alcohol. The type of alcoholic drink doesn't seem to matter. Studies also report an increase in insulin sensitivity from moderate amounts of alcohol. Finally, studies indicate that light to moderate amounts of alcohol do not raise blood pressure, whereas chronic excessive amounts (greater than 30–60 g/day) do.

The ADA currently recommends no more than 2 servings of alcohol per day for healthy men. 

I'm guessing Obama is exceeding that, if his doctors noted that he should moderate his alcohol intake.  He's in a high risk group for metabolic diseases. 

163 now that our prez is turning his focus on jobs, every thing should be fine...what is all this healthcare talk? jobs, remember? He is on jobs now...morons

164 Maybe it's because of the Olympics.  Heck, if he can cure the world, he can make us win medals.

I think you're onto something there. There were several earnest hipsters at a pub in my neighborhood hoping the US hockey team would beat Canada yesterday. No small part of that was desperation for just some win, any win, even a case of Yuengling for President Greek Columns.

165 No quantity of assholes can ruin my bacon and coffee.

166

#91, Yuengling is really good beer from Pennsylvania. Right up there with Sam Adams for me in terms of drinkability.

Regarding the Rapture Pets organization in the headlines sidebar, the last time they were mentioned online I contacted them to see if I could get in on the action and maybe pocket a dollar or two. I'm pretty much an atheist, and even if I was accidentally in a state of grace at the time, the theological grounds for the pre-Tribulation rapture of the Church are really really thin, as in "probably not going to happen". I was told I'd be added to the waiting list as they try to organize their growth.

167

Damon, who still thinks Obama deserves time, vouches that "the people who worked on 'Green Zone' come from all across the political spectrum."

Yes, the whole political spectrum from the far left to the radical left. Damon is a complete cretin.

168 @169

The US team would have won, if they had access to socialized medicine affordable healthcare like the Canadians do. 

169 Where's the ACLU and the rest of the "protectors of our civil rights" about Barry extending certain provisions of the Patriot Act on Saturday? Were there any news sources that covered or reported it?

170

My theory on the "Fort Jackson Five" is that five disgruntled recruits, when they discovered saying "I quit" didn't work, decided to act up until they DID get thrown out. And they want to make 100 percent sure of that before they announce it, and they don't want to queer the program by making a big deal of the fact that some of the recruits they take for that program are lousy soldiers that only get by because they speak Arabic.

My experience with some of the 09L's was that they were Reservists, had been promised an easy trainup and they were "special" and therefore wouldn't be worked too hard. When they were pushed too hard, they'd get sullen and balky. Some of them were real fucking prima donnas, but like any other artist, if you needed them to produce you couldn't beat it out of them. I had a pretty good one, but some of the others in our brigade fucking sucked. Definitely a leadership challenge. You couldn't treat them like an infantry E-1. You can PT an infantry private til he drops if he doesn't obey. You try that with a 09L, he'll "forget" the dialect you need out of him at the moment.

"I had that in December.  Today I have a heretofore never experienced variety:  a cold of the eyes.  Both my eyes are bloodshot and weepy with blood and snot pouring out of my nose."

Somebody's been making out with Brian Boitano...

172 Thanks for all the info on Yuengling beer! I'd honestly never heard of it; when I lived in the U.S., it was in Boston, pretty much Sam Adams country. I thought Yuengling was a Chinese beer, though I guess not even Obama would be that stupid, at least when making a bet!

173

I thought Yuengling was a Chinese beer, though I guess not even Obama would be that stupid, at least when making a bet!

The first time I had Yuengling was on a trip to Pittsburg. Everyone told me I should try it while I was there. At the time that was the only place you could get it. Now they have a brewery in SC so I can get it anytime.

174

"Maybe it's because of the Olympics.  Heck, if he can cure the world, he can make us win medals."

This is your fundamental problem, right here.  You shouldn't want so many medals.  America has already won a lot of medals over the course of Olympics past.  You don't need the whole pie; you need to learn that you should only have part of the pie, so that there is enough left for others, who have no pie.

It is for this very reason that I am founding a new nonprofit, the Athletic Coalition for Olympic Reward Normalization.  This coalition of althetes from all peoples of the world will seek to right the wrongs of this overly-competitive Olympic society, where only the best, strongest, and brightest can win, and those with the biggest aspirations, yet the smallest muscles, are left behind to perish.

Please, won't you support us financially with a $10 donation?

You guys may have covered this as I was taking my elderly mother for a root canal but

how drunk has Obama been?

176 not knowing that the new season of one of the greatest gameshows of all time, Solitary, started at the end of January sucks major ass. I now have 4 episodes (watched the first episode on Hulu) to catch up on

177 What? No Lienenkugel love here?  (yes, yes, I'm from the midwest).  I'm a big Sam Adams fan, can't get Yuengling's here...but Lienies were the poor man's alternative to the ever present (and always hideous) Bud in these parts (although extra credit to any of you out there who has ever gone through the valley of beer death which is Stag -- you my friend, have then truly earned membership into the poor, underage, and too desperate for booze fraternity/sorority and I salute you as a brother/sister...actually shotgunned one of those brews of beelzebub once, I blame it for the nausea I suffered the entire weekend).
