— Open Blogger Evening Moron Nation! CDR M checking in for duty. Crazy day with all that is happening in Egypt this fine Friday. I couldn't help but think of this quote today after seeing how the Obama Administration has responded so far (and not just to this incident either).
Admiral Josh Painter: "This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."
Speaking of disasters, this is a great read on what would have happened If A Liberal And A Tea Partier Had Been Aboard The Titanic.
This does not sound good. World's Muslim population to double in 20 years. Pakistan is projected to overtake Indonesia as the most populous Muslim country. I bet they won't. Nukes have a nasty side effect in regard to densely populated urban centers and something tells me that Pakistan is headed down that road.
For your daily war pron requirement, here's a nice pictorial of The Gatling Gun (h/t The Brigade).
Remember when the U.N. issued a report that said the Himalayan Glaciers would all be melted within a quarter cetnury? Um, yeah. Not so much. They're actually advancing, like, you know, growing. Yay, the Yeti is saved!
So how smart do you think you are? Do you think you can get this right? It's called The Pschopath Test.
So, the e-mail goes like this:Read this question, then come up with an answer. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads. No one I know has gotten it right. Few people do.
A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a man she did not know.
She thought the man was amazing. She believed him to be the man of her dreams--so much that she fell in love with him right there, but she never asked for his number and afterwards couldn't find him.
A few days later she killed her sister.
Question: What was her motive for killing her sister?
Here's the answer.
Interesting. US Crude Oil Production at the end of 2010 was 5.616 million barrels per day, highest since 2003. Wait, what??? We better keep this on the downlow. Wouldn't want the Prez getting all worked up over this.
ZAh, the United States of Beer. Nevada. Four Loco? Really?
ABC is bringing back Charlie's Angels. Good lord they are running out of ideas. Since we're bringing back 80's shows, how about Airwolf damnit?
Now, I know some of you have wondered what your call sign would be if you were a Naval Aviator. Here's your chance. I present to you a chance to earn your callsign with the Top Gun Call Sign Generator Heh. Barack Obama's callsign came up Zomby!
.
OK, name this actress! I know, I know it's easy but this actress kicks ass on anyone today. Very easy on the eyes.
I think this is the first picture of Ace's new pad. Not quite the Ewok village but it does have it's advantages. Pretty good range of fire for any hobos that come scroungin' around.
That's all I got tonight fellow morons. I gotta get back to the battlewatch. Strategery or somethin'.

The hardcore Islamists don't like the pyramids, as they are products of an infidel culture. If the MB gets total control of Egypt, the pyramids, the Sphinx, and all the treasures from Egyptian antiquity will meet the same fate as the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan.

I figure that, by November 1, 2012, every poll except Rasmussen will be sampling Obama Party members at 80% of the electorate to keep Black Narcissus at 49% and talk about his "inevitability".
Meanwhile, Obama is voting present. He doesn't care if Egypt is run by Mubarak, the Muslim Brotherhood, or Barry Manilow, just as long as he doesn't have to do anything about it.

Yeah. Reading the article its not based on anything more than what the writers think which beer would go with what state. Doesn't even seem like they went with "most popular" or any sort of reasonable basis at all.

Yuengling is a marketing case study. When I was in school at Elizabethtown College circa 1981, Yuengling was the cheapest purchase at Brothers' beer, next to the Hillcrest Supper Club. $5.65 for a case of 16 oz. returnables (granted, the Lager was still in the offing, but the beer was still excellent).
They just changed their marketing strategy from regional blue collar bar beer to national niche microbrew. Their sales more than quadrupled in 5 years

Second time I went to Europe, I went to the Heineken brewery and took the tour in Dutch. Towards the end, the guide was going on about how it's brewed with only the finest water, yadda yadda; he then pointed to the canal outside the window and smiled, "Except that's what we use for export."
His smile faded a bit when he asked if I had enjoyed the tour and I answered in English.

Think what the leftie actors do to themselves. Not that they care. Alec Baldwin was in Hunt for Red October and I was pissed when they replaced him in the sequels with Harrison Ford, not that there was anything wrong with Harrison Ford. I just liked the character Baldwin had developed better for the part. I also liked him in Beetlejuice. Now I can't stand the site of him. The people who sunk their money into bringing out those movies now own a product that isn't worth as much. Kinda like the Police Squad movies that had OJ in them.

Schilitz Malt Liquor was the strongest fricking beer back when I was growing up. A keg of that stuff was fine. PBR was good too. Anyone remember a beer called, Blatz or Milwaukee's Best?
We used to get cases of Old Milwaukee long neck bottles in college and then use the cases as book shelves - a place for books is important ya know.

For your consideration, I give you MeisterBrau and Geobels beer. The MeisterBrau we would get by the keg in college, put a Coors/Bud cap where you tapped it, the chicks never knew, we save mucho dinero. The Geobels took up half the beer cooler at the store near campus. My checkbook had many checks for $5.89 which was the cost of a twelver, a couple of chili dogs, and a can of Cope. Good times.

Not sure on that, but in college, I used to drink boilermakers -- beer with a shot of Jack Daniels or other suitable rotgut. One night our hangout bar made the mistake of doing every drink for a dollar -- and boilers counted. That was the night I got drunk enough to climb the hurricane fence into and then out of the police impoundment lot.
This would explain why there are no enzymes left in my liver.

Have you seen the one for some eye medicine that's for dry eyes? The entire set is white. I yell at the tv, give them some color and maybe their eyes will produce their own tears. It's weird. Even the pictures on the walls are white. I know it's supposed to look sterile but shit, it just looks like something out of logan's run.

Anybody remember the Coors Party Ball? A 5-gallon disposable sphere of beer with an integral pump and tap.
Floated that sucker out in the water at Biloxi Beach for the 4th of July, 1989, watching all the pretty girls go by, floating that kiddie keg back and forth. No need to go in until it was dry.
Coors is a shit beer, but some of my happiest memories are associated with that taste, like the first time I ever really hung out and had a great time with my older brother, at Whitey's Pool Hall. I couldn't abide them now, but the taste and smell of Coors and Camel Lights can take me back there in an instant.

Key word there. U.S. Lowenbrau was Miller Beer and had nothing in common with Deutschland Lowenbrau except a labeling agreement. IIRC it was Miller's attempt to have a premium beer to take down Michelob by positioning itself as European. At the time, American goods were perceived inferior to European cars, clothes, beers, music, etc.

In the end, there will be only chaos. Duh, :0
In all seriousness, I'm not sure yet. Kraut this evening said that the fate of Mubarak's rule depends on what the Egyptian military does and I'm in total agreement with him in that assessment - particularly on what the Generals think of their current situation.
To my knowledge, there isn't a particular Egyptian general that sticks out as a potential rival to Mubarak, but that doesn't mean one harboring secret ambitions of higher office might not take advantage of the situation. Mubarak is 82 years old and has been suffering ill health for years. The heir apparent, Mubarak's son, is widely seen by the Egyptian public as illegitimate and unworthy of his father's office.
The next few days will tell the tale and will give a clear sign of what side the military is playing for. I'm not a big fan of Mubarak's rule, but it is a necessary evil for "the greater good", given the mechaniations and ambitions of the Muslim Brotherhood. And Mubarak and even King Abdullah of Jordan are light-years better than the Mullahs of Iran and the Chinless-One in Syria.

Anybody still up and sober?
I have my commie brother holding up an article in the Air Force Times that says that Michelle Bachmann wants to cut benefits to veterans, saying "This is how the Tea Pary wants to treat our veterans." The thing includes a quote from an Obama spokesman claiming that they, of course, love our veterans and would never do such a thing. There is nothing whatsoever about Bachmann's side of it.
The article literally says she plans on cuts in the title, while calling it a "freeze" within it.
Anybody know the scoop? Is Bachmann just doing something stupid? Is it a mischaracterization? Is it just a "spread the pain around" thing.
The other day I noticed that Ryan's plan had some serious Draconian cuts of all kinds, but a 0% cut for veterans. Is considered a "Tea Party" guy, or just someone the Tea Partiers usually like?

Actually, it's funny you should mention that, because it's illustrative of something peculiar. Ever notice that every other potable and comestible has a bewildering amount of government mandated "information" all over its packaging, where beer and wine do not? And this is despite beer being all over the map in terms of calories, carbs, % alcohol, ingredients, and additives?The German Reinheitsgebot, at least, meant that there was only barley, water, hops, and yeast in your beer -- but many factory beers have more foaming stabilizers than hair shampoo, add wheat and rice, or use preservatives. Yet none of this is on the label. Odd. Especially when there is a special BATFE at the Federal level, alcohol laws are randomly sprinkled all over the map, and alcohol distribution is a labyrinth of highly regulated special mini-monopolies (just ask McCain's wife).
The reason is that alcohol in the US is a textbook example of crony capitalism -- the government and business working hand in hand to quash competition and maximize the take from consumers.

509 When I was a kid, I was somewhat militantly atheist, until it dawned on me that such was a statement of faith as much as any religious adherent's belief. So, I became a more relaxed agnostic -- I'm not going to chase proofs one way or the other....and if some cosmic being wants me to believe something in particular, it should certainly be within their power to let me know it.
Sorry, but you assume that the cosmic being WANTS you to believe something. Why is that necessarily so?
Consider the intellectual arrogance of atheists, who think they've got the universe and our place in it all figured out --- when physicists and cosmologists have realized over the past 20 years that we can see/detect/experience only four percent of what they now know is out there.
I'm not religious, in the sense of adhering to any particular sect. But "spiritual", in the face of the gob-smacking stupendousness of a universe we haven't even begun to uderstand??

The Bachmann article was quoted by This Ain't Hell, which they say they talked to one of her people and they confirmed it. But it's hard to say what she really wants. I have seen nothing on her Facebook pg or in interviews about this, so I am withholding judgment for the present. Want to see more from her verbally about this proposal.
As for Ryan, he wants $5 trillion-worth of cuts over 10yrs, though he didn't rule-out more than that (they didn't ask). He said he's going to read the entire budget & make his cuts line-by-line. As for his reputation, he is well-loved by some Tea Partiers (mentor to the freshmen as well) but a few past votes have some feeling leery.

Until reading this, I honestly forgot the loser won the Nobel. Just now, a real WTF moment for me. And no, not winning the future. This has to be one of the most ridiculous awards ever given to a non-accomplished prick. The world leader so valuable to the peace process....that no one bothered to call today.

On a different topic, when I hear the word "spiritual", I think in terms of people who have rejected traditional organized religions, but still harbor some sort of supernaturalism. Maybe "New Age" stuff (whatever that is), or some sort of vague "higher power" thing going on.
I suspect these are the folk who fall in the "No Religion" category in the Pew Religion polls, and are dramatically increasing in number. I don't think that's the same thing as being an atheist, although people often jump to that conclusion when they fall into the "no religion" category, as much as those who would be eager to cry "hypocrite" would like to think so.
That being said, I'm reminded of an awoved atheist who had decided to consider himself a Christian. This was (natually) a hard-core liberal, who seemed to mean that he was in line with Jesus' philosophy, without recognizing his divinity. Christianity has a certain commonality with progressivism, both being proponents of self-sacrifice (differing mostly on who you are supposed to make yourself a slave to), but I was left with the impression that he mostly didn't like the animosity that calling yourself an atheist brings, and thereby came up with one of their typically convoluted lines of reasoning to call himself a Christian while he clearly was not one.
Go ahead and critize this guy with impunity (as I do), but remember that it's not so different from Born-Agains declaring their own definition of Christianity that excludes everybody except themselves. Liberals are famous for redifining language, but they're not the only ones who do it.

Not a lot of hope-and-change hitting my part of California. Brown's in hock to his eyebrows to the unions, but is starting to yank in all the state cellphones and cars -- which seems an awful lot like rearranging deck-chairs on the Titanic. If they pull an Illinois and hike taxes by 66%, the next Prop 13 will be monumental.
(For those who weren't around, CA is seriously bipolar. It can be happy-hippy-dippy urban lib for years and years until the back country wakes up. In the late 60's to early 70's, real estate property taxes would go up 5%+ per year. If you were retired, on a fixed income, in a farmhouse you'd bought 35-years ago for $1,000, it was obscene to be paying $4K in taxes and have it bump up $200 from one year to the next. So Prop 13 came through in 1978 and fixed taxes at 1% of sales price plus no more than a 2% bump each year. This hit state finances like a nuclear bomb -- no longer could the political elite erect grandiose utopian schemes and just hike taxes to pay for it.....
......but, after electing a couple of governors, the back country went back to sleep.)

One of my big fears about Obama's re-election prospects is that I suspect a large majority of the people who are suffering from unemployment (which is probably mostly due to ObamaCare) are hard-core Obama supporters. It really is some sort of BizzaroWorld.
The Tea Party resulted in part, I think, because people were shocked to hear the word "trillion" in connection to federal deficits. Certain political factions have been sounding the alarm on balooning deficits for so long that many voters were pooping their diapers, playing with their toys, or dealing with teen angst when H Ross Perot played a real role in politics. Are people getting used hearing "trillion" now? Does it seem like the doom-and-gloom cries of Global Warming to them - The Doom That Never Comes?
By comparison, H Ross was back in the good ol' days. The interest on debt was a minor fraction of the budget, not closing in on 50% (and that's at low interest rates). There weren't people rioting in the streets in Europe over the collapse of entitlement addled government finances.

Hey, I have a couple ideas for new threads.
1) WWE thread. Royal Rumble is this weekend.
Why do it? Most guys go through at least a brief period paying some attention to WWE, so it's good for nostalgia. Ace is a drama geek, and pro wrestling is the pantomime of America. It's the most basic form of live action drama that we have so it's interesting to analyze from a dramatic perspective and why certain characters and certain gimmicks work and why others don't. The improvisational aspect of pro wrestling is actually kind of fascinating.
Also a WWE thread could attract some new readers to Ace who we can then infect with our right wing ideas. I watched a recent WWE event for the first time in a decade plus, mainly I was shocked at how skinny the guys were compared to what I remembered.
2) UFC thread. UFC 126 is coming up in one week. UFC is like WWE, but for real. It's interesting to see how it progresses in the culture and takes away mindshare from both boxing and pro wrestling. For Ace the Drama Geek we have the way matches are hyped and storylines are created. It's also interesting to me how the lighter weight guys just don't seem to pull in the fans and PPV buys compared to the heavyweights -- even though the lighterweight guys are typically better technical fighters and the heavyweights often gas out by the 2nd round.
A UFC thread could also attract some new readers for the right wing idea infection.
I think the movie review threads are a good way to lighten up the ObamaSucks threads and attract new readers. Same with the sports threads. An occasional UFC or WWE thread is another way to lighten the tone and attract new readers with some pop culture analysis.
just a thought.
On the same idea -- a weekly TV thread might be good. TV Tuesday or some crap like that. For the morons too stupid for Monty's Sunday book thread.
I think a great service this site does is use pop culture and humor to connect with non-rabid politicos and win them over to our side. And I think predictable thread topics (NFL games on Sunday, Monty's book threads, etc) give readers something nice and predictable to look forward to and participate in.

You still have to have that piece of paper in order to "climb the ladder" in the museum hierarchy. Such a degree from an ALA*-approved university also means more pay.
Such a shame too, as axing a couple of school administrators could cover quite a bit of library budget. My local library is heavily used and I make small donations every time I go in.
Even in Houston, the libraries have always been short-staffed (for whatever reason). They are saving quite a bit of money by cutting hours and staff members, but it's especially disappointing for people who can no longer spend their Sundays at the library.

1. Cut fraud and waste in Medicare/Medicaid by $40 billion per year. Sorry, but that saving is already in OCare at $50 billion per year. Let's see, this thing has been law now for over a year, so where is the government report showing that $50 billion savings + to date? Nowhere.
This is why proposals such as this should be sat upon for a year, while the savings can be proved first before making them part of the accounting. This simply never done. In other words, show me.
2. Unused Federal lands. Sell them. There is no reason for our government to own half the land in our country. Sell em and apply the money to the deficit only.

Breaking AFP: Saudi King Abdullah expressed his support for embattled President Mubarak and slammed those "tampering" with Egypt's security This seems to me to be a total smack-down of Obama, since he has been making overtures to the Muslim Brotherhood people.
Posted by: Miss Marple at January 29, 2011 03:45 AM (Fo83G)
Even through the sympathetic-to-protest media coverage, it is clear that the Muslim Brotherhood protest demand is for the complete removal of West-tolerant Mubarak, not necessarily government reform (a mantra that served its purpose to motivate rioting).
Oust Mubarak, and align Egypt with Iranian theocracy -- regardless of Egypt's subsequent token form of government -- it will function with Islamofascists.
Egyptians thought Mubarak's arrests were unwarranted? They ain't seen nuthin' yet, having themselves taken it to a whole 'nuther level from the frying pan into the fire.
Given Obama's televised follow-up to Mubarak's speech, wherein Obama said that he called Mubarak to advise that Mubarak give words meaning, how is it that the White House official line this morning is that Obama has not been in contact with Mubarak? Don't be surprised when Obama rehashes his nuanced meaning magic bean words from his crude pep together (all about me) thrive rally.

Miss Marple -- live and learn.
I don't remember what the Saudi dynasty did for Iran's Shah during Carter's aid to establish Islamofascism theocracy in the MidEast. What I do recall is that Carter refused the Shah political asylum, even when the Shah petitioned US medical care. And the Shah died in Egypt.
Posted by: by any other name at January 29, 2011 03:59 AM (H+LJc)
That is correct about him dying in Egypt. Another thing Carter will have to answer for to God. It was very un-Christian, and the media has swept that one under the very large rug in which they hide all of Carter's evil.
I do not remember what the Saudis did about the Shah. People often fault Bush for his friendship with the Saudis, but it seems to me that at least the Saudis want a stable Middle East. They're a bad lot, but compared to the insane evil of Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood, it looks to me like they are tolerable.

I do remember how quickly the mullahs consolidated their power. It seems to me that the Muslim Brotherhood (with a lot of advice from Iran) is following the same template.
Kristin Powers on Fox is married to an Egyptian doctor. On Twitter she said his uncle (who is in Cairo) said that Mubarak is bad, but that if he falls they will end up with the Muslim Brotherhood in charge, and that will be worse. I see no reason to disbelieve her, since the meme of the media (and Obama) is more pro-uprising.
Also, Obama removed someone from the Muslim Brotherhood from the terrorist list this week.
I cannot help but think this has blown up as a direct result of Obama signaling he would not help Mubarak and Iran reading this as a way to begin their stated goal of forming a Caliphate, particularly since I see there were riots in Jordan.
And Obama has directly contributed to the food riots which formed the spark for this by continuing to use ethanol, a weak dollar due to Bernacke, and ignoring the entire thing. (Not to mention his ill-advised speech in Cairo.)

The best thing would be if Mubarak would appoint someone as an intercessory who is well-respected by the Egyptian people. Also it would help if the US would offer to help with food prices, either by direct shipment of commodities or money.
Mubarak stood by us through both Iraq wars. To stab him in the back now would mean that no other president could ever get the help of a Middle Eastern leader.
And you can't tell me there isn't a way to be sympathetic with both Mubarak and the protesters. What we are seeing is very bad, amateurish and ham-handed foreign policy, JUST LIKE CARTER.

This surprises me, but I have not been following it closely. I know the brotherhood had the shiites on their to do list, so I would think the Iranians are playing both sides positioning for control. Also, any authoritarian regime has to start sweating whenever people anywhere are out in the streets protesting. Maybe the glee is for public consumption only.

phoenixgirl,
As much as I would like to believe this, I point you to the Iranian encouragement of these protests, as well as the increasing protests in Jordan, also backed by the Muslim Brotherhood..
I don't doubt that there are many sincere protesters who want a western-style democracy. The Muslim Brotherhood is more powerful than you think, and will quickly remove all of the pro-west people if Mubarak falls. This is what happened in Iran, and they have been unable to get rid of the mullahs since they took over in 1979.
The Muslim Brotherhood has numbers of lukewarm supporters who will flock to them once the threat of retaliation by Mubarak disappears. The poor will go with whoever gives them free food (and in Egypt their numbers are quite high).

Venezuela is an OPEC member. Brazil has some newly discovered (large) reserves, but it'll be years until they're producing. We can't drill, baby drill, and we're importing just about as much as we can from other countries in our hemisphere. So we're kinda stuck for the time being.

All things being equal, they've contained within their kingdom so that the only news Americans get about Saudis regards our oil contracts. Will the former US hands off foreign policy with the Saudis suit the well intended "Present" Obama's directive to spread the wealth of instability?
Of course Mubarak saw protests coming. That's why he was cracking down with arrests of terrorists and Nobel winner competition. Obama just finished punking a reporter's question with the simplistic statement that he won't interfere with Hu's China because "We have different forms of government" while China's Nobel winner languishes in torturous prison, whether alive or a dead, rotting corpse. That sounds like hands-off foreign relations policy, and may be what Mubarak thought Obama's administration would do -- nothing -- given Iran's uprising as if precedence, not considering the Muslim Brotherhood's contrary interest factor that distinguishes between Iran v. Egypt in Obama's relations. Obama gave Mubarak the slight of hand before pulling the rug out from beneath him. Tadah! As if cloak and dagger provides either stability or liberty. Bad move, Obama/Hillary. This administration never saw a riot they didn't join. After forfeiting US influence in foreign affairs, "Reset" Obama/Hillary are jumping on the blame game bus to mow down Mubarak. And I doubt that Mubarak factored that into what he saw coming. If he had known, whatever "reform" package would already be out there in front of the Obama/Hillary bus barreling down Mubarak's backside. But then, Egypt's tanks are out in show of force to protect government buildings.
Who knows the Egyptian arrest records to either legitimize or disprove the reason for protests. And given the rioting, there's already the illegitimate protest by terrorists. The media fed the terrorist beast by initially comparing the situation in Tunisia with all of the Muslim MidEast. But Tunisia's innate distinctions don't apply to other Muslim nations. And the historical Mediterranean cultural link of Tunisian with Egyptian setting for modern events still does not make the two current regional situations "the same". Tunisia's president-for-life gave Tunisians higher education and banned the jihab from being worn in public. Then again, Tunisia's presidential family absconded with its nation's wealth and forbade its well educated citizens industry and the access to develop natural resources, even to the fish to catch and sell at market. Those are not Egypt's circumstances. That's not the "corruption" charge against Mubarak. Rather, Mubarak is reported to be a bully (as if US Democrats with the US media aren't). I don't know what inflation is in Egypt along with unemployment compared to Tunisia's problems.
Overall as what will be will be, since employment requires a strong and viable economy, unemployment is ironically high whether the nation is "developed" (USA) or remains "undeveloped" (Tunisia). And inflation is happening globally as the world entered the 21st Century with Asia on the ascent of economic growth.

I think if he killed the internet, you'd see protests that make Egypt look like pikers.

I'd like to think you are right, but 52% voted for the idiot and his numbers have been on the rise again. I'm just not sure we are that bright some days.

That's ok....I still think 48% of the US population demonstrating in the streets would get someone's attention. (I'm lowballing that number too because I don't think 52% would still vote for him.)

606 "again. Odessa File on TCM. Great film based on the Odessa, which was a secret group responsible for helping ex SS officers flee postwar germany."

Hollyweird distorts.

The first thing that came to my mind about the "Psychopath Test" after "geez, not this shit again" was "duh, for the inheritance."
