— Open Blogger Evening Moron Nation! Another crappy week put to bed. I'm still in a funk from the Afghanistan announcement. Some interesting stuff has come out though. For example, take this article from The Atlantic, Gates Beats Out Petraeus In Fight Over Afghanistan Withdrawal.
The initial set of Afghan discussions had been marred by a series of leaks that infuriated Obama and led the president to accuse his military advisers of trying to box him in politically. Earlier this year, as the administration began to gear up for the withdrawal debate, Gates and National Security Adviser Tom Donilon sent out word informally that any leaks would be interpreted by the president as insubordination and as an attempt to improperly influence public opinion.
My, my. Nice to see the President taking leaks seriously. Well, at least when it's in HIS best interest. Never mind all the other leaks coming out about everything else (like the Bin Laden raid) that have actually had a negative impact on National Security. Those are OK 'cuz you know we gotta tell everyone that you know who was teh man, teh one to take down Bin Laden. I don't recall ever hearing President Bush do something like this, you know, sending out word that talking out of school will be seen as insubordinate. Don't get me wrong, it is and shouldn't be done, but if we are gonna have some standards, then let's apply it equally across the board. Of course, if he did that, Joe Biden would be out of a job. Ok, how about a little war pron then? Here is some video of some Apaches forward deployed doin' what they do best. Puttin' 30 mike-mike on target.
According to Mr. Farrakhan, The White Man Made Obama Bomb Libya. Um, Obama is the President no? He's doing this all on his own there Louis unless you are implying that he is being manipulated by someone say like George Soros? Farrakhan's little rant would probably fit right into this montage of scenes from Undercover Brother.
Well, the video for Weird Al's latest song is finally out. It's his take on Lady Gaga and it's pretty funny. Not as good as Amish Paradise though but pretty entertaining.
Hopefully, Lady Gaga is on the way out in terms of popularity. Her album sales are plummeting fast and I think her schtick is getting pretty old.
I know Kratos has been on cloud nine since Tuesday when this trailer for Footloose came out. I heard he has already started a line for the first showing of it in PA. I keed Kratos, I keed! Seriously though, it looks like a direct remake and the only thing missing is Kenny Loggins music. Looks lame.
A very strange and sad story and a possible glimpse into the future of our own Obamacare. Woman Has Chest Pains And Is Pronounced Dead But Wakes Up At Her Funeral Only To Die 12 Minutes Later. Only in Russia. For now.
I call BS on this. Someone is selling a candle that smells like the NY Times. Here is the description:
The scent of the candle is newsy, with hints of guaiacwood, cedar, musk, and spice. Characterized by "a powdery note and velvet nuance," the scent is meant to mimic the aroma of black ink on newsprint.I think it should probably smell like something else if it was going to be accurate. The kicker, it costs $65.00!! Wouldn't it be cheaper to like buy the actual paper and just leave it out?

This could come in handy when the apocalypse is upon us and you are out of ammo and are back to using a bow and arrow to survive. 7 Deadliest Arrow Poisons On Earth.
It only takes 150 micrograms of poison from P. bicolor to kill an adult human, while the more toxic P. terribilis has caused fatalities just through people touching it. It is so toxic that chickens and dogs can die if they have contact with paper towel that has in turn been in contact with the frog. A single P. terribilis frog contains enough venom to kill 10,000 mice or two bull elephants! To this day, tribes found in western Colombia, such as the Noanamá Chocó and Emberá Chocó, use the poison extracted from these frogs. Interestingly, in captivity all dart frogs loose their toxicity; they need chemicals, most likely from food found in the wild, to remain poisonous.
Probably the best orange juice commercial ever. Period. Hands down. Two bits up!
Interesting. The LA Times rejoices that Census data reveals that "non-traditional" households are on the rise in CA. They are giddy with the rise in number of gay families but kinda gloss over the fact that the majority of the rise in "non-traditional" households is more due to the fact that there are more single parent families out there and those tend to be poorer and statistics show that those children are more likely to end up involved in criminal acts. How is that good for the children?
Some kick ass planes in this picture. Which one would you choose? I think I'm partial to the P-38.
That's all I got for tonight. Enjoy.

The burkini has to be the most cumbersome swimsuit ever made for casual swiming. I usually wear a t-shirt when I swim to protect my torso more from the ravages of the sun, but the burkini is ridiculous. It would have been easier for Allah to just ban women from swimming if they have to cover up that much to enjoy that activity.

He graduated from my town back in the 60's, so he gets a lot of play here. But if you have to grade him, I would give him a fucking D because he jumped from a Republican administration to a Democrat administration simply because of his wishy-washy politics. Gates is a pussy looking out for the only thing that matters to him...himself.

Bachmann is the top of my "all the rest" list. I'm still somewhat skeptical of her, but I do think she did well in that last debate.
I agree with your other three. However, if Perry chooses to run, I won't look back. I like Ryan the best, but I think Perry's campaign case would be the strongest.

It would have been defeated soundly had it been put up to popular referendum. But the Left has learned its lesson about risking giving the little people a voice in their own affairs.
I heard there had been three holdout GOP senators and that it would only have taken one to cave in order to ram this through. I just laughed and said just one? I'll be disappointed if all three of them don't bend over, so to speak.

If you're willing to keep an open mind, Contra dancing is great fun, especially for a date. It's easy to learn, the dances are fun, and the people are usually very friendly to new folks.

I have no problems, whatsoever, with gay marriage. I think everyone should be able to experience the pain that heterosexuals subject themselves to every day. Seriously, I really have no problem with people loving each other and wanting to commit to each other, legally, and gaining the benefits of that union.
Love who you love. Consenting adults should have the right to do that and not be discriminated against because of it.

I love Portland--tax free shopping! I was there a couple of weeks ago. Inlaws from HI visiting, and we went to everywhere to shop--Lloyd Ctr, Clackamass, Bridgport, and downtown. I love to shop, but that was a little much. Hubby grew up in NE Portland. His little sister was a Rose Festival Princess when she was in H.S. It seems like it was a much bigger deal back then than it is now. (They don't have the pictures at Lloyd Ctr. or the Airport like they use to).

It has a male teacher and an elementary student and there's all kinds of sexually suggestive language and the teacher is picturing the child as a sexy, short skirted, belly baring, big boobed woman.

As I said on an earlier thread, I'm sure he was very distracted by the sleeveless, short, gaudy, butt ugly cocktail dress that Michelle was sporting at the ceremony. Truly inappropriate. Just like everything else about those two losers.

A couple of years ago the NYT did a fawning story on some bored NY housewives demanding more draconian environmental laws.
They were demanding the whole panoply of enviro-crud - but specifically demanding "buy local".
The story had a picture of one of their meetings, where around the living room you could say the environmentally conscious group had been drinking bottled water. Italian, imported, bottled water.

Nickelodeon turns into Nick at Night after like 9 pm or so. If you don't know what that is exactly, its offshoot is TV land. When I was a kid they'd show like Laugh-in and The Monkees and like Andy Griffith and Leave it to Beaver. It think a lot of it now is more 90's sitcoms like Roseanne, and also The George Lopez Show for some reason.

One thing that really doomed Transformers 2 was that Michael Bay not only directed the movie, he also wrote a good deal of it (this was during the Writer's strike).
I guess as long as Bay is only directing the film and didn't also contribute towards the writing, the 3rd Transformers installment may be passable as a popcorn flick.

CCP're reply was fucking hilarious though
Dear concerned citizens of New Eden
This week has seen quite a controversy unfold. In almost the same instant as we deployed Incarna – which by the way is one of our more smooth and successful expansions, not to mention absolutely gorgeous – an internal newsletter with rather controversial topics addressed leaked out. To further compound the confusion there was a clear and rather large gap in virtual goods pricing expectation and reality with a large segment of the community. I‘m going to address both these issues right here.
Fearless
Fearless is one of our company values. It‘s also the name of an internal newsletter that has been designed and developed specifically to catalyze discussions on controversial topics. One of the biggest elephants in the room these days, not just for EVE but for the gaming industry as a whole, is virtual goods sales and microtransactions.
Therefore we dedicated an entire issue to exactly that topic. It‘s worth mentioning that the topic of the issue was “Greed is good?” as a way to ask a question that would then be debated back and forth and often exaggerated purposefully to draw contrasts and make points. The result of that is now widely available on the internet.
The opinions and views expressed in Fearless are just that; opinions and views. They are not CCP policy nor are they a reliable source of CCP views as a company. The employees who submitted articles to that newsletter did exactly what they were asked to do, write about theories and opinions from an exaggerated stand.
While it‘s perfectly fine to disagree and attack CCP over policies or actions we take, we think it‘s not cool how individuals that work here have been called out and dragged through the mud due to something they wrote in the internal company newsletter. Seriously, these people were doing their jobs and do not deserve the hate and shitstorm being pointed at them.
Pricing structure
People have been shocked by the price range in the NeX store, but you should remember that we are talking about clothes. Look at the clothes you are currently wearing in real life. Do you have any specific brands? Did you choose it because it was better quality than a no-name brand? Assume for a short while that you are wearing a pair of $1,000 jeans from some exclusive Japanese boutique shop. Why would you want to wear a pair of $1,000 jeans when you can get perfectly similar jeans for under $50? What do other people think about you when they see you wearing them? For some you will look like the sad culmination of vainness while others will admire you and think you are the coolest thing since sliced bread. Whichever it is, it is clear that by wearing clothes you are expressing yourself and that the price is one of the many dimensions that clothes possess to do that in addition to style and fit. You donÂ’t need to buy expensive clothes. In fact you donÂ’t need to buy any clothes. Whatever you choose to do reflects what you are and what you want others to think you are.
We will gradually introduce items at other price points, definitely lower and probably higher than what‘s in the store today. We hope you enjoy them and are as passionate about them as you are of the current items that are for sale.
I hope I‘ve addressed your concerns and cleared up a lot of the issues you‘re having. We‘ll continue monitoring the forums and other communications channels and pick up and reply if there are concerns not covered by this blog.
Thanks,
Arnar Hrafn Gylfason

Effects of Sunbathing on Insomnia, Behavioural Disturbance and Serum Melatonin Level $0.00
Authors: (Keiko Ikemoto, Department of Neuropsychiatry, Fukushima Medical University School of Medicine, Fukushima, Japan)
Abstract:
It has been suggested that sunbathing may increase the amplitude of the sleep-wake rhythm and nocturnal serum melatonin secretion, and have effects on insomnia as well. A case report of a patients with epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and severe mental and intellectual disabilities (SMID) with severe behavioral disturbance is presented, in which the sleep-wake-cycle (SWC) was markedly improved by a sunbathing for seven months. The schedule included a sunbathing for 30 minutes in the morning, and a walk with a sunbathing for 10～30 minutes in the afternoon. Reduction of frequency of excitement and pyrexia was also observed, and the latter effect persisted for more than six months after the completion of this schedule. In the present case, being similar to the effects of light therapy for insomnia in elderly persons, low level of nocturnal melatonin level exhibited a tendency toward normalization. These findings show that a sunbathing is an effective and simple method for the treatment of insomnia and behavioral disturbance associated with severe mental retardation. The effects of light therapy and / or a sunbathing on insomnia and serum melatonin level, particularly in individuals with brain damages, are reviewed based on the literatures.

It really depends on what you want, what you need and what's available via the various services. Is the place wired for DSL high speed internet? Are going for a package or just TV service?

Not only does your planet have to be the right size and temperature, and have a large moon to maintain tidal cycles, but you have to have a big old gas giant to watch your back. Habitable planets are probably one in a million. On the other hand there are billions of chances, so there you go.

Her very first pet was a poodle. I think it was an escapee from the insane asylum but the details are a bit cloudy. He finally bit the dust when he answered that age old question -- what happens when you chase that car and you actually catch it? Answer -- poodle roadkill. Anyhow, this meant that she had a soft spot in her head heart for poodles.
So we had that debate so familiar to married couples.
Wife -- I want a poodle.
Me -- We don't need another pet and they are too expensive.
Wife -- Isn't he cute? Plus he was on sale.
Me -- Fuck.
Wife -- Not a chance. For the next year he will need to be by my side constantly and I don't want him to develop bad habits.
Did I mention that this dog is dumb? Well, that is covered in Part II which may never happen if I don't get some encouragement from the ONT, or least not too many digital empty beer bottles thrown at me.

Of course the real report was that Iran was working away full steam but was classified so everyone who knew the truth had to stay silent while Bush got accused of saber rattling and unprovoked escalation of our ongoing rivalry with Iran.

I'll try and compile a list of his idiocy. First is his excellent understanding of the command 'come here'. Generally speaking, a pet rock has better odds of obeying. But to capture this dog's qualities best, you need two people in the room. When you call him, he invariably goes to the other person. Yep, he is just like that Indian in Little Big Man that does everything backwards or opposite. Boy oh boy, imagine the chaos when there are three or more folks present. He runs to everyone BUT the person that calls him.
Then there is his solid understanding of the game fetch. You had better be on your fetch A game because he brings teh stupid with his. You'll be doing a lot more fetching than he will. He can't find a thrown item if your range is over 4 feet. Blind AND stupid is his motto I'm pretty sure.
Once when he was lying there asleep he did one of his random 'yips' and I commented that his two brain cells had bumped into each other, gave him a thought, and scared the shit out of him.
Did I mention what a superior guard dog he is? No? There's a reason or two for this. Whenever someone cranks their car in the next county, he's on it. Well, as long as it's before dark because that would be overtime. He can bark and growl at that cranky car for a good solid hour, but I'm also sure that if it actually drove by he could not catch it. Because it is more than 4 feet away. But never fear, because if a stranger broke into the house he would insist on being petted first before they could steal everything. His definition of stranger is easy -- anyone that comes in from outside that he hasn't seen in the last 5 minutes.
His only real area of expertise is food. He can find a molecule of food buried in an inch of concrete. He will lick his way in. He will lick that spot until his tongues bleeds and you drag him away from it. Of course as soon as you let go he's back on the job. "Listen up you puny humans that molecule is mine and I'm getting it. Why do you keep using that word 'No'? It means nothing to me."
On the brighter side, the dog hates me. So that's something.

I think the dog we had when I was kid matched yours for stupidity. He would chase birds and never look where he was going, can't tell you the number of times I watched him run full bore into the house or a tree.
Our well casing was about three feet in diameter and stood about a foot and a half above ground level, this was his favorite place to sit. He would sit on that rain or shine. We were having a massive thunderstorm once and there sat our dog, just getting soaked. I called my dad over to window to look at our stupid dog just in time for a lightening strike somewhere very close by, our dog yelped then jumped straight up, must have got a little jolt, then right back up there he went in the pouring rain.
Yep, our dog was a moron.

Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long....
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know....
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so.

I moved to MD years ago before I knew how screwed up it was. Since then I have moved several more times, all in VA and farther away from the Sodom on the Potomac.
What we have to remember is that the liberals NEVER give up or quit when it comes to furthering their agenda no matter how stupid or evil it may be. Being on the government dole with lots of free time and no performance appraisal mechanism certainly helps them out.
I think the public schools should offer a fifth optional year for political indoctrination. That would at least be honest.

"We need to do whatÂ’s necessary to grow our economy; create good, middle-class jobs in the unionized government sector; and make it possible for all Americans that vote Democrat to pursue their dreams of getting on and staying on the perpetual gravy train."

Hot and humid. It is officially Summer now.
Yeah. Down here we have been getting smoke from those Georgia Fires. A smoggy type feeling.

Jane D'Oh said those fires were in the Okefenokee. That is a long way for smoke to blow for Savannah and a damn long way for Charleston..

Much better society today with abortion on demand and the destruction of the traditional family. We're so much more enlightened then those people.

I had never heard of it till I saw the video at Trevor's place (New Zeal).
Holy shit it is a frightening piece of shit. How is it that no one knows about it?
For anyone interested in the communist/marxist/global UN take over side of things, you should check New Zeal about once a day.

I have decided to sttick to FF3.6.18 until someone tells me any later fersion is bulletproof. I accepted the hype for FF4 and regretted it immensely. It was fairly easy to regress to 3.6 but it wasted a lot of time I could have used to be reading AoS .
Posted by: Hrothgar at June 25, 2011 05:22 AM (yrGif)
I've had no problems with FF4. It is so much faster.
Posted by: momma at June 25, 2011 05:22 AM (nWikJ)
I could not get some add-ons to work and it screwed up my carefully orchestrated tab settings. It might have been faster (that was the reason I tried it), but it wasn't noticeable to me.

Linda and Steve Shidler lost everything in the wildfire that swept through Grimes County this week — their mobile home, their belongings and their pets. Everything but a wooden ladder they found resting against a singed basketball hoop in their yard.
And they lost that as well Friday, to burglars while they were out shopping for supplies at Walmart.
So the first order of business for the Shidlers after being allowed back to their property for the first time in nearly a week on Friday was to construct a makeshift sign to hang on their gate warning looters to keep out.
"This is all we have left," Linda Shidler said. "I really did not need that today."

“This is outright lawlessness on part of the administration. Whatever the politics of this, we do have a constitution and under it the legislator, the Congress, enacts the laws and the executive executes them, it doesn’t make them up,” Charles Krauthammer said on “Special Report.”
“The DREAM Act was rejected by Congress, it is now being enacted by the executive despite the expressed will of the Congress. That is lawless. It may not be an explicit executive order, it is an implicit one.”
On Wednesday, ICE Union president Chris Crane issued this statement:
“Any American concerned about immigration needs to brace themselves for what’s coming. This is just one of many new ICE policies in queue aimed at stopping the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws in the United States. Unable to pass its immigration agenda through legislation, the Administration is now implementing it through agency policy.”
Crane continued: “ICE and the Administration have excluded our union and our agents from the entire process of developing policies, it was all kept secret from us, we found out from the newspapers. ICE worked hand-in-hand with immigrants rights groups, but excluded its own officers.”
Also ignored by the press, was last yearÂ’s no confidence vote ICE agents gave Obama appointee, ICE director John Morton.
The National ICE Council represents about 7,000 agents and support staff.

This story is a local story but Drudge is carrying it as well.
YouÂ’ve heard of the Central Park Jogger Wilding, letÂ’s just call this the 5-Points wilding. 5-Points is an area in downtown Columbia with a lot of bars, nightclubs etc.
In any case this 18 year kid was “jogging” through there on the way home when he was set on by 8 black yoots. He was beaten so bad he is in the hospital going for brain surgery and other major “fixes”.
Notice how this liberal rag newspaper identifies every damn problem there is EXCEPT the attackers themselves. Imagine the outcry if this was a black teen who had been set upon by 8 white hooligans.
I am waiting to see what happens here. There is a law here in SC that severely punishes the attackers when more than 1 attack a single individual. It is the SC lynch law and in cases like this where severe injury is dealt it deals sever punishment.
(C) Any act of violence inflicted by a mob upon the body of another person, which results in serious bodily injury to the person, shall constitute the felony crime of assault and battery by mob in the second degree and, upon conviction, an offender shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than three years nor more than twenty-five years.
I want to see some 25 year sentences.

I still have all my tool bars.
I didn't have any problems with 4.0 and 5.0 doesn't appear to be really any different than 4.0. When I went to 4.0 I had to reset all my tabs and menus to get it back to where I liked it, but after that it worked fine.

Do a search for this: Firefox Setup 3.6 Beta 4.exe
Uninstall FF 5 after you backup your favorites to a location you can later find.

American Thinker has an article up explaining what is really going on with the floods on the Missouri River.
Seems that Corps of Engineers could have prevented all the flooding, but the enviro whackos just wanted to return the river back to it's normal state.
Quote from one of the greenie bastards who describes the floods as: "prolonged headache for small towns and farmers along its path, but a boon for endangered species."
Fucking cocksukers.

Okay, you're killing GnuBreed. Heh.
I know I'm really late to the party, but had to say I almost cried laughing so hard at GnuBreed's description of his dog. Much of the rest of the ONT was depressing and I really appreciate the laugh. Don't get to do that much these days. Love a good deep belly laugh.
