Good Evening Moronettes and Morons:

Clearly, Paul Kruggman was behind the economic theory of the Death Star.

Actually his rejuvenation starts at 34 after 4 lack luster seasons age 30-33.He suddenly finds the fountain of youth(syringe of youth?).

Clemens probably started juicing sometime around his second season in Toronto.

The earthquake in Haiti was in 2010, right? Have they rebuilt anything yet? Anything at all? Or are they still waiting for FEMA?

Its not their fault. George Bush hates black people......or something.

Yes, I thought it was funny when representatives of other governments were shown today attending the wedding. Now, granted some were from the commonwealth countries, and some were related to the royals, but still, I believe if we had a different set of tenants in the White House they would have been invited.

By the way has anyone seen the MO and Jill Biden PSAs for the military families? While I am glad MO is finally embracing one of her supposed focuses as First Lady, I am pretty damn tired of her PSAs considering she's wall to wall on the kids channels for the Let's Move campaign and the eating well campaign.

You seem to be confusing her with our First Lady such as she is. I expect the royal family is *far* more humble than the Obamas. In spades.

Kate's father was a dispatcher for British Airways. I think she knows what an honest day's work is. I imagine she'll end up being a spokeswoman for charities much like Diana was. You can ridicule her for that, but at least she's doing something good and not flitting around going on shopping binges and telling people to sacrifice while wearing an outfit that cost more than most people's paychecks.

I didn't think William had a choice as to what uniform to wear. That's the uniform for his.

He's an RAF pilot, but he wore the Irish Guards uni to salute the lads in Afghanistan fighting the wogs.

 more humble than the Obamas. In spades.

release the modo sock!

Drew and Gabe are mad at each other?

Hahahaha, security detail issues, that's one of the excuses I hadn't heard. Let's face facts, the wedding had more fucking security than one could imagine after all there were many heads of state there, and of course the royal family is high target for certain groups to kill.

It was a purposeful snub and no matter how the Obamas and their lick ass media want to portray it, that's the reality.

Am a bit surprised the Obamas didn't have their own wedding vows renewal this weekend and fabulous campaign event/fundraiser reception afterwards.

You know, like the forced busing high schools' separate proms in the '70s.  Because the representational prom committee could agree on which band to hire.

Don't be too sure of that.  Didn't William actually serve in Afghanistan and so got to experience some of the amazing awesomeness that is the Islamic world.

Bwhahaha!  There's some fallout from the WH banning that San Fran Chronicle Scrunt reporter from the press pool:

Chronicle editor Ward Bushee called the press office on its fib:

Sadly, we expected the White House to respond in this manner based on our experiences yesterday. It is not a truthful response. It follows a day of off-the-record exchanges with key people in the White House communications office who told us they would remove our reporter, then threatened retaliation to Chronicle and Hearst reporters if we reported on the ban, and then recanted to say our reporter might not be removed after all.

The ChronicleÂ’s report is accurate.

If the White House has indeed decided not to ban our reporter, we would like an on-the-record notice that she will remain the San Francisco print pool reporter.

Oh, thanks bebe. I don't really understand the British military thing. I guess as Princes they are honorary somethings for some of them, but then they also are enlisted themselves? Well, I'm going to stop wading in here because I really don't understand it. Other than to agree with Peaches that I think the Black uniforms are better. But that's probably only because they remind me of Christoper Plummer in Sound of Music.

I think her dress was a fabulous combination of Grace Kelly and Maria in Sound of Music. And all I have to say to the American designers who are poo-pooing it as too staid and traditional is "shut up, maybe women are tired of dressing like tarted up sluts who dug through the neighbor's trash"

I saw Lon Chaney walkin' with the Queen.

I kinda loosened up the divorce laws in the Church of England.

As she was walking down the nave, I thought about the wedding scene in Sound of Music too. And then it got me thinking that the Church of England and Catholicism are actually quite similar except for a some tweaks here and there.

Yes, they're the same except for the whole divorce thing.  That was kind of my point.

Oh, and WSJ had a great op-ed the other day about the Middletons yesterday, "The Entrepeneurs' Princess".  Her mom was a flight attendant and her dad was a dispatcher for British Airways.  Her mom started the family business, "Party Pieces" in 1987 "after finding it difficult to source fun, simple party products for her children's parties."

"Party Pieces started out in a shed in the Middleton's garden.  There, mail orders were taken for boxes with preselected party favors to fit a certain theme.  Party Pieces really took off with the advent of the internet.

....The Middletons symbolize the opportunity that exists in a free-market system for those who take advantage of it.  It is worth noting that they founded Party Pieces during the Thatcher era, when the Conservative government focused on lifting barriers to entrepeneurs through lower taxation, less regulation, and privatization.  Coincidentally or not, the year Kate's parents started their business, 1987, was also the year that their longtime employer British Airways was sold off, with shares of stock going to its workers.

....In an interview on the Party Pieces website, [Kate's mother] says: 'I still work through to the early hours to hit a deadline and never take our success for granted.'"

The Church of England liturgy is almost identical to the Catholic liturgy. All the ritual without the guilt and all that. We have the same rites, it's just that we can get divorced, and priests can marry and women can be ordained (and girls can be acolytes)

Heh, and in a case of perfect timing, Rob Thomas's "Welcome To the Real World" is playing on the 'puter right now.

So Episcopals split from Church of England after the Revolutionary War because the Priests had to pledge loyalty or whatever to the monarchy and obviously in the US that was no longer gonna happen. I think the easiest way to understand it is that we're all Anglican, there are 38 churches(groups in different countries) in the Anglican Communion. Anglican means we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the symbolic head of the Anglican Communion.

However, there are many Anglican churches in the rest of the world who believe that the mainline Anglican Communion is becoming waaay too liberal and they want to embrace a more traditional interpretation so there is a split in the Anglican Communion with churches splintering off and joining another grouping.

It would take a term paper to sort it all out and even then it only sorta makes sense.

First, Bledsoe was NO Brady.  Second, I hope this will somehow ensure that TFB will get a damn haircut before he shows up to training camp, cause I am tired of the ridicule . . . even if I'm dishing it out myself.

Part of it are being shown on BBC America right now (21:15 PDT).

Since the president can tell the big oil companies to charge less for gas, I think he should also tell the people who keep time to use one time zone for the whole US, so it's easier for me to tell what time things are on the other coast.

Much as I dislike Brady, I agree.  Just that they had this completely established starter, and took a flyer on a QB nobody else was interested in.  I don't think Mallett is a Brady either, but he's got the physical tools to be a good QB.  Mentally?  I don't know.  And I hate his fucking accent.

I really like Phil Simms.  He hardly looked like an athlete, but he got the job done.  And he had one of the best lines I've ever heard on TV.  Announcing with the less famous Gumbel brother, who was going on and on about Terrell Davis' head for football, hard worker, first one in the locker room, last one out, all the intangibles, blah blah blah.

Of course, the folks in the CofE who decided they are tired of being led by a bunch of limp-wristed morons who joined the church as a dating club? Well, they are being let back into the Catholic Church, but they must renounce their allegiance to the Head of the Church of England, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth R.

It wasn't much of a punishment that year either.  Because they only had to give up their pick at 31.  And they actually had another pick much earlier in the draft that they had gained the year before in a trade with Dallas or someone else.  And they traded that one away anyways if memory serves.  So there was basically no one in the first round they were too terribly interested in anyways.

Yeah, hard to claim it wasn't a great, great game, even though the good guys lost.

Poor ol' Scott Norwood.  You knew the Bills were gonna lose, it was just a question of how.  Was that the year (91?) the Bills had that insane comeback against the Oilers, down 31-3?  Or was it 35-3?  I sat through that whole second half thinking, "OK, if the Oilers score once more, or the Bills don't score on a possession, it's over and I'm outta here."

 Pavelski is a beast in the playoffs though. 

The Plumber is a hard workin' sob.  He brings it and makes Big Joe look like a slacker...

I thought the boarding call on BigBert was a marginal call at best.  He went for a chip and the Shark turned into it. 

Detroit will have a better offense once Zetterberg settles in...and if Pavel decides he wants to win a game by himself he will make it happen.  He tried awful hard to get Z involved tonight.

I hope it goes 7.

I suspect it's some software that has gotten all fancy and decided to use a curled apostrophe instead of the ASCII tick-mark all-purpose straight apostrophe that serves triple duty as an apostrophe, opening single quote, and closing single quote. But it's using a different code set than the browser displaying the web page. And cutting and pasting, for some reason, doesn't translate between the codeset being used by the fancy software and that being used by the web browser.

But most of that is conjecture.

But it's using a different code set than the browser displaying the web page. And cutting and pasting, for some reason, doesn't translate between the codeset being used by the fancy software and that being used by the web browser.

But most of that is conjecture.

Maybe a copy paste from between word and firefox?

Probably. Word's "smart quotes" are just one of several reasons I intend to give Bill Gates a swift kick in the shins if I ever meet him in a dark alley.

So Heinlein was right. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress Dirty Hippie Slut. Explains a lot.

Oh, and congratulations on Cam Newton going first in the draft.

 I can't link it here, but, watch the You Tube of Trump in Vegas.  I think I like him.  Maybe we need a no bullsh*t businessman in the high office for a few years. "

Yea - Trump is great. Until he runs his mouth one time too many and says something so incredibly stupid that it tarnishes not only Trump (who I could care less about) but the entire Republican field. Trump is a self-promoting huckster who started gaining traction when he turned the amp up to 11. Problem for The Donald is he is at 11 and isn't going to get the same attention talking about boring stuff like trade inbalances and the economy. So he ratches up the rhetoric until he goes that one step too far and the inevitable media backlash kills him with swing and moderate voters (who are still needed to win an election).

But, really, its not about winning elections is it? Its about finding a candidate who will insult Obama 24/7. So, lets ignore his 50k donation to Rahm Emmanuel, all his other Democratic donations, the casual way he adopts positions of principle and his 4 prior bankruptcy filings cause Trump talks about Obama like he is on an internet blog site.

Lets.

The recession is over and the economy is growing, yet I am out of money in week 3 of the month.

Well just print more!

In rural DeKalb County, Ala., where 32 people were killed by the storms, Matt Bell ignored two black helicopters that flew overhead at noontime. Instead, he focused on a field of obliterated homes, scattered with pencil-size wood shards, shredded insulation, ripped paper, shoes, toys, towels — lives in a million fragments.

Bell was helping a neighbor look for documents. Asked about federal assistance, he just shrugged, as many in this county did Friday.

“It’s not really in the mind-set of people here,” he said. “People here take care of each other — you see perfect strangers helping.

“We’re not going to turn it away,” he added. “But if we need to set up tents, start a fire, fish and hunt, we’ll do that.”

Maybe that is it.  I know that I was out yesterday so I figured I'd be smacked in the face with Obama visits tornado damaged states this morning, but I actually had to search for news articles.  Plus, there aren't many written just for/on his visit.  Some articles only mention it as a side note.

Very, very strange. 

Plus, my lib brother always e-mails me articles that reflect good on BO.  He didn't send me one article on the visit.  Proof he did something stupid.

Thanks man.  I'm not quite as obnoxiously defensive about him as I was when he was on campus.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a great book.  I'm glad I read it before I read the brutal reviews, though.
