Bikini parades are fine and all, but some of these records are ridiculous.  Nobody cares about where or when The Most People Doing X records were set.  I just don't find them interesting at all and they're mostly just gimmicks to get people to do silly things.

I enjoyed perusing the Guinness Book of World Records when I was a kid, but if it would have been fluffed and stuffed with such nonsense I would have put it down and never looked in it again.

Or not. 

Even some of Perry’s fiercest Texas critics say they do not believe he is racist. They point to his record of appointments as evidence: He appointed the state’s first African-American state supreme court justice, Wallace Jefferson, and later made him chief justice. (Jefferson’s great grandfather was a slave, “sold like a horse,” Perry once said with disgust.) Perry’s former general counsel and former chief of staff, Brian Newby, is black; so is Albert Hawkins, the former Health and Human Services Commissioner who Perry handpicked to lead the massive agency in 2002.

“He doesn’t have a racist bone in his body,” said former Democratic state Rep. Ron Wilson, who is black and served with Perry in his early years in the Legislature. “He didn’t then, and he doesn’t now.”

Added Dallas Democratic Sen. Royce West, who is also black: “I don’t agree with him on policy issues, but you can point to many things he has done that were sensitive to ethnic minorities.”…

“He appointed a black man chief justice of the state Supreme Court, for crying out loud, one of the many high-profile positions he’s given to minorities during his time as governor,” Jason Stanford, a Democratic opposition researcher and author of an upcoming book on Perry, wrote in a weekend blog post. “… If he were an n-bomb dropping cracker, we’d all know.”

And for sore throats I just recommend drinking shitloads of tea.  Black tea, green tea, no difference.  It's nice and soothing.

When the candidate is chosen, get the hell on board even if you dislike them.

I seriously hope the Dems primary Obama.  Not just because I don't like him; even a different Donk would be better than four more years of that idiot.

Ouch, I'm glad I missed most of the replays.  I remember Napoleon McCallum in '94.

"When will the D candidate have to defend against charges that he is a socialist?"

I recall Obama responding to that in '08.  He said something like (paraphrasing) "what's next, will they call me a communist because I shared my toys in school?". 

Usually a dismissive laugh suffices as a defense.

anybody got any good sore throat remedies?

Nah, you have to know something about the military beyond "They have to do what I say" in order to be a proper fascist.  Personally, I don't think he's a socialist either, because that word at least implies that he believes in some form of equality.

What he is, I think, is a no-shit Ceacescu (sp?) communist.  Not very smart, surrounded by cronies and yes-men, no real ability to speak of, and firmly believing in his own superiority, and treating the peasantry like, well, peasants.

"The R's are MUCH slower with the socialism rollout,"  In the end game, socialism still wins.

" so there's a chance of defeating the bastards with real conservatives each election cycle." Would you care to quantify that chance?

As for the why, Rum...

1) Free money--meaning some other person paid the taxes for the welfare

2) Felons who appreciate the soft stance on crime

3) They have the media

4) Liberal oligarchy over higher education

I'm having second thoughts about primarying JEF:

 - If he wins, he's stronger, as he will be seen to be a victim. F&F might not then be quite the career-ender and ticket to a concrete room that it should be.

 - If he loses, then the motivation for cleaning up Obamacare, investigating F&F, and then tracking down the Porkulus/Pigford/Solyndra/ .... money becomes uninteresting for the Ds ... and the Rs might go along with the Ds again.

But an un-primrayed JEF has no excuses ... and the R candidate will need to push Obamacare/F&F/Porkulus/Pigford/Solyndra/etc. to win.

If the R candidate wins, then delivering on cleaning up Obamacare etc., will have to happen.

Note - I've always wondered what kind of book would be produced from a King/Koontz collaboration, given how these authors differ in so many ways.  For example, King always concludes his stories by something large exploding, while Koontz ends the vast majority of his books with some cutesy "happy" ending.

I dunno Rum, a lot of psychologists would argue that maintaining the status quo is mentally easier than further liberalization.  There's truth to the axiom that any jackass can be against something, that it takes courage to be for something new.

We would be having a very different conversation, assuming a site like this was even possible, if we lived in, say, Iran.  People who hold the general principles of this site would be held out to be liberals or even revolutionaries for believing in fundamental rights independent of Sharia law.

I guess my point, if there even is one, is that liberalism versus conservatism don't represent default versus "thinking" states, they're just labels whose meanings change depending on the context.

Well what about it being the same mechanisms that liberals engage in for their other stuff.  Didn't you mention a friend that had asthma or some other ailment and yet she was all for getting rid of people that were too unhealthy to be a burden on the medical system or whatever?  The same sort of thinking would basically apply:  Having the government to do all the feel good bullshit they want but that's for "everyone else."  They don't personally need the assistance so they would be left alone.

FDR was an interventionalist, even if he fed isolationist meat to the masses.  He was a superb politician--middling at best as a leader, but he knew how to play the public like a piano.

Willkie was a bit of a squish, in that he went between isolation and intervention based on trying to sell himself to both sides, and ended up winning neither.

Also, I take issue with you calling the North Atlantic campaign pre-1942 a secret war--the legality of it certainly questionable, but that it was going on was well-known, as there was even a song about the Reuben James long before the formal war declaration.

It is interesting that the DOJ went after Arizona's immigration issue early on in the Obama admin.  Perhaps to scuttle any F&F interference?  The map from a prior post shows the guns moving from Arizona. Maybe Brewer was on to something.

The Middle East is a truly disorganized place in this world.  Control through thuggary (sp), coersion, bribes, and poverty & religion.  I honestly do not know why Obama thought the Arab-spring would really create Democracy in that part of the world.  Allowing them to gain strength all the while holding down USA will eventually harm Isreal and then us.

Okay.  Crest Butte or Sun Valley?  Idea is to have kids stay on mountain all day while I go for long runs to see the area.  And yes, I can and do run in snow.

I'm sorry to hear that.  Due to how schools teach the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, that is strongly biased toward the Pali side, I didn't know the extent of the evil of the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah, and even Fatah until I started researching it after 9/11.  I was also helped by hearing of my Navy friend's experience while he was stationed in Bahrain. 

That entire place, save for Israel (and Lebanon pre-1970s), is a crap-hole. 

That is an odd question, Oldsailor, but I will bite.

Lots of blogs, little time.  Many of my mainstays, such as NRO,Weekly Std., Hot Air, and even Real Clear Politics appear to have taken a Left-hand turn.  Simple as that.  I am a true conservative, and squish .....well it gives me a headache as it does not appear to be logical and hard to process.

Microsoft Security Essentials, in case it gets recommended, is a piece of shit.  It'll just give you a false sense of security.

I have heard the Muslims and Sikhs referred to as Crips and Bloods.  Since Sikhism is relatively young for a major religion (I think dates to the 16th century), I wonder to what extent it arose as a response to Islam in India.

IIRC, Sikhism rose as a response to the constant threat coming from central Asia.  The Afghan people used to regularly ride out to rape and pillage the neighboring areas of Persia, Russia and India.

Otherwise, Hi Everybody.  My mom cursed me when I was a bad kid, she used to say I can't wait for you to have children and then laugh manically.  Now I know why and they're only 6 and 4.

There's no historical precedent for not trying articles of impeachment--I found two cases where an impeached trial did not go forward because the individual in question was already removed from office.  In theory, I suppose it could be tabled like other business, though that would be political suicide for the presiding officer who might then face impeachment himself for dereliction of duty.

Incidentally, Senate bylaws might not allow tabling of impeachment articles--however, I can't easily locate the Senate bylaws on the web to look into that.

But the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the trial.  Isn't a moot point which party controls the Senate?  Senators have the final say but it's the Cheif Justice running the show.

Before the gun show I'm looking at a AR3 Springfield 1903 or an 8 round M1

and I'm not even sure what those names mean...

Impeachment has only happened twice, and in both cases both chambers of Congress were controlled by the same party.

Posted by: The War Between the Undead States at October 04, 2011 03:02 AM (EtXoR)

Impeachment of a President has only happened twice; the House has filed impeachement articles 17 times for other federal officials, including a senator and a Cabinet secretary.  In two cases they did not proceed to trial, once because the senator charged was expelled from the Senate prior to hearings, and once when a federal judge resigned and the Senate deemed it no longer had jurisdiction.  I haven't looked, but I'll wager right now that in at least one of those occasions the same party did not control both chambers.

@Robert, you're right in regarding an impeachment trial of a President, however the Chief Justice does not get to set the Senate calendar--he can't show up one day and declare the trial open.

That being said, I'm curious to see if the Senate bylaws would allow parliamentary procedure to kill a trial--but as I said before, and Merovign also alluded, even if that is the case no sane Senator would do so because the electoral consequences would likely be best described as "unprecedented bloodbath".

Maybe some information here could help. It is all pretty much greek to me especially the senate rules on impeachment.

Actually I thought we were discussing the impeachment of any executive official, since that was Dell's original hypothetical, and the question was raised if the Senate could table the impeachement.

Posted by: GMB at October 04, 2011 03:23 AM (wY55N)

This is useful.  Thanks!

Thanks Dell

I'll do the research and try for the field test.

Ahh thanks, I thought it was supposed to be automatic. Another place i post at you dont need to do the html. Thank you.

GMB, that link was pretty helpful actually.  As I understand, once the House presents Articles of Impeachment, the Senate is pretty much locked into proceeding with the trial by the bylaws.  It appears that Article III allows for some kind of recess for other business if voted on by the Senate.  Article IX, however, also states that all other business of the Senate is to be suspended prior to the trial opening.  I guess that Article III is to prevent a suicide pact (i.e. a motion could be made to recess if we were invaded so that Congress could declare war, etc.).

Bottom line though, is if the House brings impeachment articles to the Senate, Harry Reid is powerless to stop the train leaving the station, no matter how many votes he has.

For safe use M1 and M14 rifles require ammunition with military-type insensitive primers. There is some civilian ammunition that can be used, but much of it can't be used safely due to risk of "slap-fire," where releasing the bolt to chamber a round will cause the weapon to fire.

The firing pins on these rifles are not held away from the primer by a spring - they are loose inside the bolt. Releasing the bolt allows a light strike by the firing pin. Military ammo can take it - but a lot of civilian ammo is risky.
