— Open Blogger Evening Moron Nation! Maet couldn't make it tonight so I'm filling in at the last minute.
I saw this mini-documentary the other day and it's a tremendous look into the life of a strange creature that many of us have known in our lives. Perhaps, some of us have been this creature. Some still are. This creature? Why, it's The Douche. Be afraid, very afraid. (video after the break).
This is an interesting top 10 list. Quite timely with all this budget talk going on. The World's 10 Costliest Militaries.
Military spending among all countries totaled $1.63 trillion last year, but that was up just 1.3% from the year before. Spending includes weapons, soldiers and the cost of maintaining a countryÂ’s military infrastructure.
Do note that Obama's 2012 budget wants to spend THREE times this much in 2012.
Speaking of weapons, this is damn cool. I wonder how Erica the Bow-F*cker would like this? Too small?
Pretty big day on This Day In History. The 1906 SF Earthquake. Paul Revere and William Dawes warn of British Attack in 1775. Chinese students protest government in 1989. Doolittle leads raid on Tokyo. Journalist Ernie Pyle killed at Okinawa. Suicide bomber destroys US Embassy in Beirut. Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier get married.
On this day in 1775, British troops march out of Boston on a mission to confiscate the American arsenal at Concord and to capture Patriot leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock, known to be hiding at Lexington. As the British departed, Boston Patriots Paul Revere and William Dawes set out on horseback from the city to warn Adams and Hancock and rouse the Minutemen.
So, um, you car shop guys. Is this really the secret trick to getting your car to perform better or does this only work on "alternative" cars with "alternative" people?
Man Dressed As Mannequin Arrested In Ladies Room At The Mall. Super freak material here.
Hardman told Birmingham Magistrates' Court he felt "sexual gratification out of everything that goes on in women's toilets".
Anyone want to bet me that his favorite movie is Mannequin?
Random cute dog picture to ease the pain of tax day.
Interesting read. America In The Hands Of A Professional Military.
In light of it being Tax Day, here is 10 Strangest Tax Deductions.
Retired lawyer William G. Halby attempted to claim $113,537 worth of “therapeutic sex,” “massage therapy,” and “pornography in lieu of Viagra” on his 2002 tax return. Halby had been frequenting illegal prostitutes and massage parlors claiming that the services provided were a medical necessity. This creative fellow claimed the sex he had with prostitutes was therapeutic in that frequent orgasms decreased his erectile dysfunction and erotic massages relieved his osteoarthritis.
That's all I got tonight Moron Nation. CDR M signing off.

China spent the second greatest amount on the military in 2010, and that amount is growing quickly. From 2001 to 2010, the countryÂ’s military expenditures increased 189%. This is more than double the amount spent by any country on this list. Weak economic performance in 2009 kept the 2009-10 increase to only 3.8%. Spending in 2011 will increase by 12.7%, according to the BBC. It should be noted, however, that many analysts believe ChinaÂ’s defense spending is higher than the country reports.
And there's the rub. But I don't think they're working so much to expand their military as to bring it up to technological speed, or to invest in the infrastructure to rapidly produce high-tech weaponry.

Maybe this time they'll successfully conquer Ethiopia within a decade should they try to invade again.
But I was really surprised about that sidebar story showing the UAE was the 3rd largest weapons importer, although I shouldn't have been. Shows that the ME is taking the Iranian threat seriously, more seriously than our Pretender in Chief.

Sure - the redcoats were the enemy, but you take it too far. The tyranny we live under today is far worse than any ole' King George III was guilty of. The traitor in the White House today is so evil that it defies understanding. I read in the prior thread that they administration has been intentionally letting terror funders off the hook - it justified every wild conspiracy theory I ever heard about the miserable jug eared fuck. If there's any justice at all he'll die in a fire.

Actually, they were killed on an (unpaved) road that runs between Havelock and Maysville; they were on their way to church in Jacksonville on Sunday morning, and apparently the driver was going too fast and lost control, ending upside down in a ditch filled with water from the previous night's rain. The adults were the children's parents, both 24, a six year old, a two year old, and a four month old.

The funny thing about Cortez - people often ask how a few hundred Spaniards defeated a whole empire - and they are asking the wrong question.
Because the Aztecs were so brutal, Cortez was able to assemble an army of ten of thousands of men from neighboring tribes (perhaps as many as 200k). Yeah the guy in the weird hat may have wanted your gold...but he didn't want to eat you.
Now Pizarro? That guy did it the hard way.

West Point’s Lance Betros adds: “The military is losing contact with the wider society. And those who make the decisions about military force really don’t have any skin in the fight. We’ve reached the point where you have to wonder how well policy makers understand the consequences of their actions when it comes to national deterrence.”

From the WSJ piece I read this morning, Alan Greenspan thinks the Bush tax-cuts are a government expense we can't "afford".
We really need to get rid of withholding (although that'll only happen in dreams) and have everybody pay a flat tax, especially if they want to vote.

HAPPY PATRIOT'S DAY, everyone!!!1111!!
Boston Marathon was run today with a new marathon record time (2:03:02) but it won't count in the record books because there was a 14 mph tailwind. Kenyans won (of course) but an American woman was second for the women and Ryan Hall (my not so secret crush) was first American men's finisher, fourth overall. There was only 4 seconds between the first and second place men and only 2 seconds between the Kenyan woman and the American woman. Wow!
One of my girlfriends ran a 3:04, and the husband of another girlfriend ran a 2:42.

If you remember, Hillary embargoed all of the pictures, and the guests had their cell phones and cameras confiscated. So even if your friends DID consider Chelsea a princess (gag) NO ONE SAW THE WEDDING!
At least the British royals put on a big ceremony and let the people watch. All Hillary did was spend a lot of money for her friends.

Well, if you want to make sure the jails are full, go ahead and get rid of withholding while keeping the income tax.
And I hear a lot about the flat tax, but it would be political suicide unless accompanied by epicly massive spending cuts. A massive share of the taxes are currently paid by the top few percent - if that full burden were transferred downward it would be ugly for those of us in the middle.
Show me some spending cuts, and show me an economic recovery based on intelligent policy. Then I'll be more interested in discussing tax increases.

That's how stupid the average voter has become when Greenspan can say that with a straight face.
Confiscating a lesser amount is not an expense, payment, or payout. If the price of gas goes down 10 cents a gallon, does anyone think the oil companies paid them?
As long as a large portion of the public swallows this bullshit, Greenspan, Jugears, and the rest of the Leftist Elite will keep shitting it out. That is why the Boning is inevitable

I think one of the core differences between conservatives and liberals is that we like individual people, once we get to know them, and dislike people as a collective.

It was an Earth Day run up in St. Cloud. It was below freezing, with snow not on the running paths, but around them. My friend said he had a few snowflakes fall on him. My hands were SO COLD. This was the first time I've had to wear long sleeves and long pants during a run.
I drank water from the cups when they handed them out. I also ate a thing of energy paste that they handed me, which was a mistake, because I couldn't get that crap washed out of my mouth.
In training, I drink a LOT of liquids while running. In every day life I drink a ton of water.

Reasons to go: I'm in good shape, have a nominally good job (until I can escape my company's evil clutches), and a family.
Reasons not to go: I could care less about pretty much everyone I went to HS with.
So I'm leaning towards no. Any morons care to share their experiences?

It was an Earth Day run up in St. Cloud. It was below freezing, with snow not on the running paths, but around them. My friend said he had a few snowflakes fall on him. My hands were SO COLD. This was the first time I've had to wear long sleeves and long pants during a run.
I drank water from the cups when they handed them out. I also ate a thing of energy paste that they handed me, which was a mistake, because I couldn't get that crap washed out of my mouth.
In training, I drink a LOT of liquids while running. In every day life I drink a ton of water.
In the future, for a smaller run like that, you might want to carry your own water (there are fuel belts and water bottle belts). For big races like Grandmas and Twin Cities, you probably wouldn't need to carry your own water. The Gu/PowerGel is also really good, but you do need to take it with water. So either hold the packet until you get to a water stop, or again, bring your own water.
When it's cold out, I wear gloves and carry one of those disposable handwarmers in each hand. (I buy a box of them at Costco in the beginning of winter). I used them last week at our relay (it was rainy, windy and 40ish, but felt a lot colder at times).
Be sure you are hydrating well for the next several days. Electrolytes and magnesium will speed up your recovery process. (I like these electrolyte capsules called "Endurolytes" you can get them on roadrunnersportsdotcom or most biking and running stores). I use them during a race, hard training run and long run too. (Follow the instructions on the bottle). I also use NUUN tablets in my water bottle during the race. Try and do some walking to help get the lactic acid out.
Bask in your accomplishment! You did great. Where did you hang your medal?

As a hiring manager myself, that *is* important, at least in technical positions. Depending on the exact position, some skills are a must have, though for most it is a question of the candidate showing they can learn.
I once asked a candidate about a particular skill she claimed to use at her last job. She responded that she actually hadn't done any of it , someone told her to put it on her resume. Smart cookie that one.

So, while I agree with you about going all Mama Bear because I would too, and have, remember that boys are weird creatures and things that are disasters to a girl friendship end up not being that bad to a boy friendship in the long run.
Still, I totally back you up on going all Mama Bear on the mean kid's asses because I've been there and done that.

Tonight I will introduce new language related to the coming age of "Bonephonics". This will simplify the understanding of boned by properly stating complex and mind grinding Deomcratic/Marxist worst practices into single word descriptives....for instance...."Calidetroitya" aptly encapsulates the enitre of the next 4 years of Moonbeam insanity with which we various morons and moronettes will have to insert and rotate on because we either were too stupid to sell in 2007 and U-Haul like hell or because we are addicted to the overall mild weather which makes us pathetic to say the very least.

This is a core problem with American education though.
With no metrics, public schools *will* fail to teach anything of importance, and graduate enough illiterates to vote in a full slate of Democrats.
However, getting metrics for education is hard.
Now, offering people a choice in where to send their kids to school would *quickly* resolve this issue...but apparently that is racist or something.

I know. I feel for him. It breaks my heart when good kids are treated badly because I hate seeing the sweetness slowly seep out of them.
My son's best friend is a little shithead. For example today apparently he punched my son in the stomach for no good reason. But, they've been best friends since the first day of kindergarten so sometimes I have to bite my tongue and let him work it out.

Here's a question for you morons:
Are any of those Canadian on-line pharmacies legit?
I'm not looking for any narcotics. It's a medication that has been sold for decades in the US but like all drugs it had to undergo years of testing and scrutiny for approval. But since it had been sold in the US for decades without it, it was generally ignored.
Then a couple of years ago the FDA and Congress got a hair up their collective asses and there's now only one US provider. It charges $4.50 per pill for what once cost 45 cents per pill. And that's about what most Canadian online pharmacies charge.
I have no medical insurance I'm thinking of buying a bottle from Canada just to see if it works.
Any thoughts?

I haven't bought from the online pharmacies but I do buy animal parmas, from vet supplies in Canada, their legit and probably the same for pharmacies. Our legislature made it legal to buy from them because they are the same drug just sold to Canada at a cheaper price which they pass on. I'd do a search on the comany anyway.. pick the longest in business ones and should be safe.

Well, it's illegal (stupidly, perhaps).
The only real disadvantage is that because it's illegal, the people doing it are willing to break the law.
You might get lucky and catch a principled anarchist. More likely you'll catch someone named Mohammed who isn't too worried about his Visa.
The good news is, placebos work almost as often as the real thing.

I'm doing a drive-by tonight. I got here late and just lurked. Then I went over to check Insty's news before beddy-bye and learned that you can buy boutique gasoline for your small engines. Who knew?
I also went to Home De-Pot this evening to pick up the TSP and saw a prominent display of Palmolive dish soap next to Fabuloso, after I followed a prominent display if illegals into the store. I noticed that the Palmolive had a "phosphate free!" blurb on the label (as if that's something to brag about), but the Fabuloso didn't. They're both made by Colgate-Palmolive. Think the messican brand gets away with keeping the good stuff in it? What if it's made in May-heeco?

If it is non-narcotic and also cannot be 'abused' like say xanax, then I doubt there would be any problem. Best though is to contact one of them and see if you can transfer your prescription to them to fill. Then your worries are zero.

It might be worth paying full price for a bottle. To give it a try. I'm sure they told you 1 per hour, no more than 3 per 24.
And don't go too far from a bathroom.
Go to clinicaltrials.gov and search for gout. There are a couple of trials, they generally pay for it. You're taking a chance either way.

Also: few weeks ago, The Chicago Code did a very thinly veiled attack on Bill Ayers (crazy former 60s radical becomes respected professor, still likes blowing stuff up and killing cops). Tonight's episode introduced a storyline where the bad guys were the police union. Somewhat Palin-esque, with the outsider taking on the old boys' club of entrenched union interests.

I was very happy when the kids got taken out of Drive Angry... but the mom let them sit through 1 and 1/2 sex scenes before doing the right thing. Which should have been not bringing the kids in the first place. Some of it was bad advertising, though - I had no idea how much graphic sex was going to be in the film. (The violence didn't bother me much)
In either case, if your kid is under, say... 16, don't bring them to an R-rated film. Hell, even some pg-13 films are bad nowadays.

Your kids are absolutely boned for the next 30 years thanks to horrible decisions your generation and your parents generation made politically. Them seeing a titty or someone shoot heroin on a movie screen is the least of your problems.
Posted by: CAC at April 19, 2011 01:47 AM (JEVge)
duh. But you don't have to contribute to this shit. Parents need to parent more and that includes making decisions about what their kids watch. And yes, that means not letting them "see a titty" or drug use onscreen.

I do agree with this - that we have larger problems. But I also do think that if we let our kids just keep going down that road, we'll never be able to fix the problems, since the kids won't take to the solutions.
So decency is just one of the many areas that needs cleanup, but it's also a cornerstone of how people think and act. Without it, there are no examples of how proper people behave. Without that, future generations are just savages trained to parrot their masters.
Look at the protests in WI and other places - these are people without decency, who have been propped up by media and culture to believe that they can do no wrong. Their disgusting behaviour is a result of believing that only they can be right and that whatever action they take, no matter how vile, is the one correct course.

Weird, it's the other way round to me. I think our culture has become so (kratos alert!) decadent, so degraded, since the 60s, our families and churches and other institutions so thoroughly undermined and destroyed, our manners and civility and intellect and values etc etc so irretrievably lost, that the financial doom doesn't bother me that much. even with Ryan in charge and complete fiscal health restored, i still hate my generation and my culture and think it's all gone to hell, so screw it.

My mother has worked 3rd shift from close to 20 years. You know what she makes sure she does? GET ENOUGH SLEEP DURING THE DAY! Not only did she work 3rd shift but she's worked a ton of overtime, but she doesn't even fall asleep on her 20+ minute drive home. If you fire the idiots that aren't smart enough to load up on caffeine or get enough sleep during the day, then the risks of this happening are going to go away.

My parents brought me up in a time warp. By 10, I was able to watch current tv and not buy into the crap. I will admit to not knowing what it's like to grow up under constant attack from the media, as I didn't watch a lot of it. Today, I still don't watch a lot, since I selectively choose my programs based on how much liberal bullshit I want to handle and how much they give out.
It will be different for my kids, as the attacks are far more blatant nowadays. At least when I was a child, most of the propaganda went over my head or was so slight I could ignore it and just enjoy the programming. (plus, most of the programs I watched were from the 50s - with current tv peppered in - can't say that all tv watched until 10 was from the 50s, since I watched a lot of scifi and mystery shows)

Jake's take:
BHO is going to rip the mask off in the next year and a half and show us his inner thug.
1979 willlook like a walk in the park, the world is not the binary place like 1979
the new binary is islam vs everyone else.
the fight at the same time is union goons vs. everyone else.

Just what do they think is going on now with all the "rules" being put into place? We're not living in Nirvana right now, honey.
And by the way, don't you want to be rich? and Rule? No? 'cause apparently, it's now a dire sin to be "rich." Or to want to be "rich."
If by "Rich," they mean "elite," well, then. We've got that going on according to the "rules" right now. Why wait?
And what "rules" were they talking about not being in place? I don't know... couldn't read all the signs... something about employee public unions.

Oh and pre-dial to my phone.
With a gps tracker. (Still pissed at Castle's episode on that one...)
I'll tell my kids they can have a text capable phone/smartphone when they're working at a real job and living on their own. Hell, I survived until my early-mid 20s without a texting phone. They can too. (in fact, I don't text... my phone's there for email and internet, but I'm an adult and don't use it 24/7 like a kid might want to do...)

That's awesome! My parents had a text pager for a little while for their business - we would call a message service and they'd send it over to the device. "Hi Steve, can you tell my mom to call us?" (or other, sillier things - I was maybe 6 at the time...
)
yeah. It was pretty cool.
I'm betting that land lines won't last very long into the future as contant-contact devices. Most people will move to mobile phones (if not already) just for the ease of carrying the phone around from location to location.
I'm glad they allow you to keep your number from phone to phone. Remember when you couldn't do that?
Posted by: soulpile is... expendable at April 18, 2011 11:07 PM (afWhQ)
I still like having a landline for a couple of reasons. 1) I get sucky reception where I live on my cell so having a landline is handy for not having calls dropped and 2) if I have to wait on hold for a long time, I'd rather do it on a landline so I don't drain my phone battery.
I'm glad they allow you to keep your number from phone to phone. Remember when you couldn't do that?
Yes! I had to give up my very first cell number (I don't even remember what it was now) when I switched carriers. Now I'm really partial to this phone number since I've had it for 10 years now...

Exactly why I like my landline. Also, you can always give out that number to people and screen them that way, rather than giving them access to your more personal number.
My phone number is only one digit off from my mom's and we've had them for years. I'd hate to give it up now. It's providing a dilemma with the tablets out there - you basically would have to give up your number, as far as I can tell, since I haven't found any information supporting using a cell number as a VOIP number. /sigh
