7 Teachers in OH you are sssoooo fucking stupid:

Members of Ohio's largest teachers' union have agreed to a one-time, $54 dues increase to pay for the fight against Ohio's new collective bargaining law.

A spokeswoman for the Ohio Education Association says 111,000 active union members would pay the extra dollars under a proposal overwhelmingly approved Friday. School support staff would pay $25. Student and retired members were exempted.

In Pakistan, they install the wiring *after* they finish the walls.

Go into many of the old European houses and you'll find the same thing.  But they have a viable excuse.  Those houses were built before commercial electrification.  Osama's "mansion" is a pig-stye.

24 Yeah well, but today he doesn't have an ass Posted by: nevergiveup at May 09, 2011 02:44 PM (i6RpT) Yeah, but it was kinda stringy.

25 More proof OH is in play to vote R in the next Pres. election.  Plus Sherrod Brown is ripe for the picking:

Sen. Brown outlines bills to lower gas pricesOhio Senator Sherrod Brown has outlined two new bills aimed at lowering gas prices.

With the average price per gallon of gas in Ohio up more than $1.30 over the last year and 48 cents in the last month alone, Brown outlined a bill Monday aimed at ending the more than $4 billion in tax deductions, subsidies, and royalty relief to big oil companies each year.

Brown’s bill would end what he calls “wasteful taxpayer handouts” to big oil companies that are making record profits. The savings would be used to reduce the federal deficit.

Brown also announced support for legislation that would make it illegal for oil-producing nations to band together to manipulate the price of oil, natural gas, or any petroleum product, and give the U.S. Attorney General the authority to pursue legal action under the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Over the last decade, Brown says the nation’s five largest oil companies have taken home nearly $1 trillion in profits—including more than $30 billion in the first quarter of 2011 alone—and tens of billions in dollars in taxpayer subsidies.

26 I bet the SEIU and IBEW worked on the UBL compound. In fact, that is probably why it took so long to build and ran over cost.

Interesting theory I came across the weekendÂ…. What if bin Laden is still alive. No, not in the sense that Obama and his stooges lied totally about getting bin Laden. What if Panetta fooled the great chess master Obama and bin Laden was captured and air lifted out to a CIA prison in Eastern Europe. What if Obama authorized a mission to kill bin Laden but those orders were changed in route to the Spec Ops Team (Say by Panneta) and the orders that reached them was to capture bin Laden at all costs and not to kill him.  After the mission was accomplished Presadense Obama was notified that we got bin Laden, but he is alive and we are secretly getting him out for interrogation. Oh, what about the body well maybe it was another poor Islamic smock that killed, wrapped in white cloth, given the BS funeral, and dumped into the Arabian Sea. What is Obama to do after he spiked the football? Tell the world he is still alive, Fire Panetta for not obeying his grand order, etc. This could explain all the different versions, CarneyÂ’s stupid answers, ObamaÂ’s total cluelessness and knowing not what to do, and no death photos. We could be water boarding are great leaderÂ’s hero right now in some Eastern European shithole prison and there is nothing Obama can do. WouldnÂ’t it nice ????

Well, you see, the extra taxes they pay will subsidize gasoline vouchers. So for every ten cents they jack onto gas prices, they pay the consumer ten cents back. And the bureaucrats who arrange this get $100 for their services. Then we balance it all on the back of a unicorn.

80 This could explain all the different versions, CarneyÂ’s stupid answers, ObamaÂ’s total cluelessness and knowing not what to do, and no death photos.

82 Is it just me or does it seem like we are going out of our way to humanize this idiot.

You would find a few that electric lines running along the wall to an overhead light. But they were ran through glass insulators and the wires were tight (and parallel to the wall and the ceiling). The wires were those old cotton fiber insulated things.

But even those disappeared in the 30s and 40s in occupied houses.

Thanks, looks like he is leaning in that direction. I liked Daniels until he popped off with that statement about supporting the Dems in WI that skipped out of the State. 

I gave him a pass on the "truce" buisness because I knew what he meant but the other was just too much.

146 137 Where are all the Christie lovers tellin' us why The Fat Man supporting (or even considering supporting) Our Mitch is a super-geniusy?

Well, it could be that Chris is doing it because he admires a man of substantive conservative accomplishment at an executive lev--

Oh wait, I'm an apostate now too.  Never mind!

147 So the guy was holed up in squalor watching a 10 dollar TV. He was neutralized years ago. Gutsy call or irrelevant?

148 Paul Ryan's PAC calls the AARP "a left-leaning front group"

I agree with that and would even go further, but they need to be careful with how they use this. If they're going to criticize AARP, they need to balance it by promoting ads that show seniors they don't need to fear Medicare reform. Though they do that in the email but the press isn't going to report the entire thing.

149 Which is to say it doesn't.  The same thing could be said about second-hand smoke if the PC hordes would let the WHO report on that subject be widely published.

I have a SIL who is deathly allergic to MSG so it does cause reactions in some people.

As for second hand smoke that is a real fraud up there with AGW. But what is funny about it is a proposed law I was reading about in one of the local papers that would ban smoking in the city parks. The "concern" was second hand smoke. They also added chewing tobacco and snuff to the ban.

It is expected to pass.

150 Now, what I need to understand is how some of you think mitch daniels who reminds me of a baby's rice cereal can win and Palin cannot?

A lot of people really hate Palin.  Of course many of them are responding to the misinformation out there, but even after having the time to manage her public image (and that of her family to a lesser extent), it doesn't appear that she's made very much progress in winning people over.  

And I'm not sure she's expanded her base of support among Republicans.  I confess that I suspect I'm not the only one who liked her a lot as a VP candidate but who has lost some confidence in her since the 2008 election.  I understand her decision to quit the governorship, but I don't think it made her more qualified to be POTUS to do so.  I actually think it hurt her. 

151

I know lacey.

Not moronettes, but I'll say it again, women are stupid and will vote for whoever looks good to them. I don't know if they would vote for Palin because she can't get their ardor. However, I still think that nominating a McCain look-alike is disasterous.They vote AND they're clueless.

152 Prostitution existed prior to the 1960's, and was about the only available place for sex outside of marriage.

So there you have it.  Adultery did not exist before 1960.  I did not know that.

You have to be consistent. You criticize Christie because you claim he is mostly talk and very little substance (I disagree, but I'll stipulate). Yet you seem to be listening to Daniels' talk and ignoring his substance.

He has been successful in Indiana. Real, solid accomplishments. And yes, he shot his mouth off too much recently, but I'll look at what he has done rather than what he has said.

157 That could be anybody. Posted by: chillin the most at May 09, 2011 03:22 PM (6IV8T) It's not me

158 Not in the middle class, which was then the bulk of society. Rich people like the Kennedys had adultery, and went to great lengths to hide it. Look at how Ingrid Bergman's career was destroyed by one affair.

Yes there is since miracle whip is salad dressing not mayonnaise.

160 Which is to say it doesn't.

No, I think it's just to say that the evidence is anecdotal. 

I'm a little surprised that MSG hasn't been demonstrated convincingly to cause allergic reactions.  It's so widely used; you'd think someone would do the studies.  But it sounds as if there hasn't been convincing clinical evidence one way or the other.

Support for Dems who are keeping the unions in power by skipping out of the State is little more than just rhetoric. He was actually espousing a position. I did like some of the stuff he did in IN.

(And keep in mind that most of those who did have sex were having it with a vanishingly small group of very promiscuous women, mostly prostitutes. In fact, much of the sex they had was on military deployment in other countries).

213 I watched some multi-million dollar homes being built in the UAE.  Indoor marble pools, etc. 

The wiring was just silly. The concrete was poured into plywood forms - which then had to be hand finished by a battalion of Indian laborers to get it close to smooth and get out the big wood splinters.  The whole structures were poured concrete with very little steel; what steel was used wasn't coated and left out in salty air for weeks.

The finish work was very well done. The cabinetry, stone, tile work, stucco, etc. would have all been very expensive to do here.  But all marred by the lack simple conduit for the electrical. 

214 There was no vodka before 1960 either. That's why there was no adultery. I suppose one of you morons is going to try to say there was vodka before 1960?

Yeah, that's another part of narrative that sounds a bit exaggerated. Supposedly he was essentially under a de facto house arrest. Given his extremely limited means to communicate with anybody, how effective could his participation in masterminding much of anything be?   Does anybody have some insight about how the narrative does not allow for the guards the he was supposed to have to shoot him if he was threatened with capture?   And isn't the fact that you've got walls being blown up, helicopters landing (which I assume still makes plenty of noise if you're close enough, even the quiet ones), and a helicopter being blown up in your back yard, kind of inconsistent with the idea of Bin Laden being surprised, and not having enough time to reach for a weapon? Especially with the version (the latest, I think) that says he was shot at, and missed, before they enetered his room.   Don't get me wrong! I love every new version of the tale - the good guys always come out without a scratch, and the evil uber-villain always buys it at the end. I look forward to more "re-makes", over the weeks, months, and years! And sequels, of course!! I figure the "inaccuracies" are a complex combination of incompetence, lies and spin for political reasons, and lies for national security reasons (so the lies aren't all bad). But it's fun to find the holes in the story.

Making shit up doesn't count as facts.

According to Kinsey (not a perfect source) 50% of married men had some extramarital contact during the course of their marriages. And 25% of women had extramarital sex by their forties.

Now Ken, concentrate here. What I have just cited is considered "facts." Maybe not perfect ones but they are better and smell nicer than the ones you have been pulling out of your ass.

227

Now, what I need to understand is how some of you think mitch daniels who reminds me of a baby's rice cereal can win and Palin cannot? It may be true but really? The msm comedy teams are already making the boring/old/milquetoast comparisons. You guys throw one of the seven dwarves up against Obama and we'll have the Won for his most effective 4 years yet.

Posted by: dagny

 

I suspect that this reaction is what causes some here, including myself, to hold some hope that Christie will run. He has demonstrated that he can (thus far) survive in the cauldron that awaits any Republican. Reagan managed to transcend the MFM and 'Ronnie Raygun'. Christie has managed to deal with union memebers on his feet and stuff loaded questions back down the throat of "journolists".

Palin may never convince a plurality to vote for her or to stay home and not vote for Obama. If so, then she is unelectable. If she, or any other candidate cannot or will not do what Christie does then they are unelectable.

228 My parents were more socially conservative than average, but not much more. I have heard old-timers saying that it wasn't at all unusual for men to have been virgins until marriage in the Forties and Fifties.

Uh, wut?  What was the average age of marriage in the 1900's? 

229 I think Ken and curious would make a nice couple. 

230

I dunno what the level of promiscuity was back in ye olden days, but it's hard to imagine it came remotely close to the debauched state of our culture today.  For one thing, the illegitimacy rate would have told the tale.  Birth control wasn't exactly advanced, and abortion on demand was, as yet, unheard of. 

As I've aged I've heard more of the family stories that count as "skeletons in the closet" and am under no illusions that my predecessors didn't like to "get busy."  And that did not always happen within the holy bonds of matrimony - no matter what they might have publicly professed.  That said, things had not reached today's level of shamelessness.

231 229 Vodka goes back to the ninth century. Distiller is 1200 years older then prostitution.

And fermentation goes back to, oh, the Egyptians. 

232 Wow.  So human nature was different waaaaaaaay back then.  Ain't evolution wonderful?

I would concede culture was vastly different before the advent of birth control and easy access welfare. So there where more virgins pre 1960s since the cost of sex with someone that may not be there to help support the possible child was much higher.

Dude, I'm not arguing for the restoration of temple prostitution, just that it existed. BTW, The Ancient Greek contributed major things to western civilization. For instance, the philosophy of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Or literature like Homer's' Iliad and The Odyssey. Government styles like democracy were invented. History was recorded by Herodotus and Thucydides. Architecture like the Parthenon and sculpture of the perfect human body. Painting was also a big factor in Ancient Greece as well as mathematics. Elucid invented Geometry, Algebra and the Number Theory.

No, I think it's just to say that the evidence is anecdotal. 

 

But isn't that what most of "research" is nowdays?  Especially the type of research that many in our government make laws from.  We wonder how this myth stays alive but all one has to do is follow the government money (grants). 

If a researcher wants to keep that money rolling in, he's going to give the government what they want.

Nobody invented physics or steam power or electric power or nuclear power.  They were already there.  And Newton was a male gigolo.  And von Braun never went to church.  He was a Nazi, for crying out loud.

237 Wow. So human nature was different waaaaaaaay back then. Ain't evolution wonderful? Human nature hasn't changed. People are just less willing to go without sex. If they wanted to, they could. You seem to think that because all the people today are obsessed with sex, that all people must have always been that way. That's in the same bracket as seeing that hardly anyone serves in the military in the most recent generation, and concluding therefore that the large number of American troops in WWII must be mythical as well.

149 So the guy was holed up in squalor watching a 10 dollar TV. He was neutralized years ago. Gutsy call or irrelevant?

Oh, and how was this raid "gutsy" in a military sense? 'Cause a handful of guys might have bought it? Not to downplay the value of the lives of SEALS, but isn't practally every mission like that? This mission took place within the borders of a country that is nominally an ally. Theoretically, their nearby military bases should be looked upon as people who could have helped in a pinch.

"Gutsy" in a political sense? Well, I don't see how this has enough in common with Jimmah's botched raid that it would have been especially disastrous, politically. Hell, did "Black Hawk Down" hurt Clinton?

Or am I missing something?

And Internet Porn.

241 According to Kinsey (not a perfect source) 50% of married men had some extramarital contact during the course of their marriages. And 25% of women had extramarital sex by their forties.

Ken may not be right about America at large, but Kinsey was way beyond "not perfect."  Those studies were gimicked to get that result, to validate the views held by Kinsey and his group.  National Review had a great article on them a few years back - they were among the most invalid studies ever conducted on the subject of sex. 

242 The name "vodka" as describing a specific distilled spirit may not be that old -- but a neutral spirit like today's vodka goes back a while.  The ultra-filtered, expensive stuff available today may be new.  Are Chomsky's sock?

227 In fact, temple prostitution (both male and female) has been practiced for a long time. Made going to temple a lot more fun than sitting in a pew for an hour.

Ken, all that is correct. However they still screwed around once in awhile.

Heck, I'll go one more obvious:

Bush made the same decision, in an unscripted moment, while standing on top of a pile of smoking rubble in NY in Sept. 2011 and made the announcement with a megaphone.

Following this announcement, Bush:

- developed and lead an alliance of numerous nations, obtained Congressional and UN consent, and launched operations that removed the Taliban from power in Afghanistan

- toppled, captured, tried, and hung Saddam Hussein (in his own country, by his own people)

- gained huge concessions and cooperation from Libya for the first time in decades

- forestalled  numerous terrorist attacks before they could materialize (including LA), resulting in zero successful US terror attacks for more than 7 years.

- During this time, North Korea and Iran mumbled some, but did nothing

- unemployment was 7% after the worst attack on US soil in history, a stock market crash, and the beginning of the fall out from idiotic financial policies implemented under Clinton. 

Compare and contrast Barry the Gutsy, who needed a 16 hour nap before giving an order to launch an operation that had been in the planning stages since at least February and approved for nearly 10 years. 

Meanwhile:

- the only thing that has saved us from several domestic terrorist attacks in the past 2 1/2 years has been bombs failing to explode ("the system worked!")

- numerous mid-east countries are in the midst of revolts that this admin failed to predict or effectively deal with and have resulted in toppling bad but manageable dictators and installing Muslim radicals in positions of power

- N Korea has launched attacks on South Korea and both the Norks and Iran have made several hostile gestures toward the US and allies

- Libya duped the US and UK into freeing a terrorist, reverse all cooperative positions developed under Bush & launched attacks against it's citizens (Barry avoids doing anything for over a month and eventually follows France into launching a military operation without Congressional approval or an semblance of defined goals, objectives, rules of engagement, or solid idea of who is in charge or the operation)

- attacks have continuously escalated on Israel

- unemployment has remained at or above 9%, despite trillions of "investment", "Recovery Summer" 2010, and all the other backdoor crap

- our situation is Afghanistan is worse than ever

- Pakistan is pulling fast ones on us left and right

- Iraq has made no progress since Bush's successful transitional policies. 

On the other hand, Barry won a Nobel Prize and Bush didn't.

247 But isn't that what most of "research" is nowdays?

No, I don't think so.  There's a shitload of solid work being done that we never hear about because there's not some political angle to exploit. 

248 Coming from a country that is a) third world and b) has a sizable Muslim population, I can understand why a) the house may be so expensive though crappy inside and b) the house is so filthy. There are some houses in upscale parts of Lagos, Nigeria, where I grew up, that are more expensive than probably most Hollywood stars' homes but have undriveable roads leading to them. Although I'm pretty sure that the houses are really nice inside, unlike bin Laden's oversized rat hole. Stuff that you take for granted here actually costs a lot more there. Although I doubt the house actually cost or is actually worth $1 mil, it's probably more expensive than you think. The price of the land may be extremely high. The land my parents' house is on (granted, their house in Nigeria is pretty sweet) is probably worth a lot more than my townhouse here in NE PA. Plus in Nigeria, you have all sorts of very large buildings but which are very ugly and very distastefully painted and decorated because the people that live in them are not exactly, how do I put it, classy or worldly. Although I'm pretty sure they have flat screen TVs and such. Which brings me to another point. In Nigeria, Northern muslims (the really hard core ones - Islam is the predominant religion in most of the northern states) are not exactly known for their cleanliness. So I can understand how that house would be expensive and be considered a "mansion", especially given how the majority of Pock-ee-stahnis probably live.

249 Newton is believed to have died a virgin. Von Braun only joined the Nazi Party out of expediency--not that that made it right. Whether or not physics, et al, were "invented" or discovered, the fact is that it was the boring squares in church pews that did it.

250 So there where more virgins pre 1960s since the cost of sex with someone that may not be there to help support the possible child was much higher.

This.  Remember, the Left's social projects exist solely to destabilize Western capitalist civilization.  All other side effects are coincidental.

All people have always been obsessed with sex.  Sex is kind of crucial for survival.  We like sex because biology tells us to like sex.  The costs for engaging in it were higher then, is all.

And that's a retarded analogy.  The circumstances were vastly different.

253 "...all the people today are obsessed with sex..."

Posted by: Ken at May 09, 2011 03:47 PM (KftjD)

I assure you that our ancestors were similarly "obsessed" with sex. It's sort of a big deal with most people, and has been for a very long time. Although the use of the word "obsessed" is quite telling, and speaks volumes about you. My bet is that the vast majority of Americans have a healthy attitude toward sex, and that it rarely interferes with the other things that we do.

But don't fool yourself into thinking that sex can be sublimated. Do you know what happens when people sublimate their healthy and normal desire for sexual contact?

We get trolls like you posting weird shit on blogs.

It was referenced in ancient law even before the Ten Commandments.

Kucinich back to Washington

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who is actively eyeing a House seat in Washington to run for next year, heads back to the state in two weeks.

Kucinich will headline a "Green Festival" event in Seattle on Sunday, May 22.

The diehard liberal and former presidential candidate has already met with local Democrats about the redistricting process and confirmed last week Ohio's new map won't leave him many options to run there again.

 


Ohio's loss is Washington's loss....

265 265: the Roman Catholic Church was indeed important to science, since it was mostly monks who took ancient Greek and Roman texts, including mathematical and scientific ones, and translated them from Arabic. (The Arabs had translated them from Greek and Latin when they conquered the Middle East from the Byzantines). And yes--they did mess with Galileo. I said before that I'm not so much pro-religion as I am anti-decadence.

That would explain the rise of single parenting, cancer rates from oral sex, and the insistence on forcibly teaching "Heather has two mommies". Because the majority of Americans have a healthy attitude toward sex, which rarely interferes with the other things we do. Tell that to to every state and federal aid agency.

Most of what was posted above regarding history was drivel. Having said that, the notion that we have a "vast majority" possessing a healthy attitude is not supported in fact.

Oh, a smart guy eh? I'm going with pre, since that was when pron first started showing up on the tablets.

Before him are two big-screen TV’s that are connected through a digital satellite decoder to a vast network of space-based satellites, allowing him instantaneous command, control, and communications with his global terror operations. This network is operated via a hand held infrared remote controller with recall capabilities. To his right you can see the screen for his computer network. All of these cutting edge hi-tech devices are connected to the central power distribution center, seen mounted on the wall. All of this technology is regulated under strict export controls because these items are considered “dual use”, and can easily be converted to view goat porn.
