1 Good morning, America. The Chinese are coming to inspect the White House before the foreclosure.

2 RIP Don Kirschner.  You brought us a lot of great music over the years.

3 Time to roll out of the sack and face another day, M&Ms. If you want to have a nice day, DON'T read the Mark Steyn piece linked in the sidebar. DO read it if you want the truth. Oh, and 655 days until the next presidential election. Just to keep you motivated.

4 Fox News just did the George Lucas story. Methinks they are in your hamper.

5 I'll believe that the world is ending when Lucas finally stops trying to rape the memories of my childhood.

6 When he makes a sequel featuring hot Wookie/Ewok nookie, it'll be rape-rape.

7 Also, can we bring Wicket back or would that be turning up the rhetoric to dangerous levels? I fear that Morons might turn violent towards other people's garbage.

Yeah - no kidding.  I agree with him, as I usually do, which is no good for my digestion.  Except for the China issue - we can print as many dollars as they like for free - I'm not worried about our "debt" to them.  They sell us products that are worthless in about 6 months or less - I say we pay them in dollars that will be worthless in about the same time frame.  They should thank their lucky stars that we're not paying them in food laced with melamine and glycol to repay them in kind.

But letting the Left and the Muz and the non-Westerners take over the country is what makes me sick.  I'd rather be put up to the wall and shot than live under those savages.  Though, of course, the best way to go would be in such a manner as to take a bunch of those vermin with me.

15 For once its warmer here than in those other Moron places. That's the way it is supposed to be. Low here this morning was 32.6°.

Yeah, it's 36 F here, I feel like I'm in the middle of a heat wave.

19 Stage Set:

<sup>Reid skips dining lavishly with the Chinese "dictator" @ White House.

McConnell's in Kentucky while the Senate's on break. (Why is the Senate on break since the session just got started?)

And Boehner anticipates meeting with Hu formally in the House for question/answers.

Pelosi, the pig in lipstick parading botoxed lip service to human rights, enjoys dining lavishly with Hu whom Obama lauds. Birds of a feather.</sup>

Now top the feast with the cherry of Obama's New Civility from his supporter commenting @ The Hill as "Cutting Off the Hand that Feeds" 01/19/2011 at 14:35: "Republicans are the ones wanted to borrow money to paid for their tax cuts for the rich from China. WHAT A BUNCH OF FOOLS. Cutting the hand that feed you."

Since the adage is "bite the hand that feeds," Obama's supporters not only take it to a whole 'nuther level as to label as "cut off the hand that feeds".

Displaced Radical Anger Issues, ignoring not only Harry Reid's personal/professional Majority Leader of the Senate absence at the dinner, but completely disregarding Hu's bloodbath of entire populations not only in Tibet but in China. Hu personally/officially cuts off hands, arms, legs, tongues, gouges out eyes, and decapitates the undesirable.

Good op-ed in WSJ about yesterday's repeal vote:

"Democrats are deriding last night's House vote to repeal Obamacare as 'symbolic', and it was, but it's not the same as meaningless.  The stunning political reality is that a new entitlement that was supposed to be a landmark of liberal governance has been repudiated by a majority of one chamber of Congress only 10 months after it passed.  This sort of thing never happens.

...Even a nonprofit insurer like Blue Cross of California, a reliable lobbyist for progressive causes, says it must raise rates by as much as 59%, in part to comply with Obamacare's mandates....A Thompson Reuters survey released this week found that 65% of physicians believe the quality of care will deteriorate over the last 5 years, with only 18% thinking it will improve.

Calm yourself. And learn to ally with people whose values you share regardless of regional genetic ancestry. And by the way, "Socialism" was initiated by Europeans intent on usurping power from authoritarians in order to become the authoritarians themselves. If you haven't already, read Bastiat's The Law available text online, a series of concise and readable illuminating essays.

Our current circumstances include the available means of communication, not to be abused. Certainly, be prepared AND be informed.

Don't jump here from A to Z, especially while expressing any sort of bigotry. If you're set on jumping overboard, even if someone rescued you, you'd find opportunity to repeat the exercise. In panic mode, the one drowning takes the rescuer down as well. Then who remains to maintain and protect constitutional rule of law from its usurpers?

Consider, self immolation doesn't affect hardened Americans, an unpleasant realization for martyrs to consider. The American audience has become as Romans @ Coliseum.

I disagree with the "need" to perpetuate the nightmare rather than perform according to constructive methods that protect our constitutional governance as we yet have. Calm yourself. The night disperses as the sun appears.

Yes, America is presently governed by a majority of various authoritarians wearing different labels. Now in order to maintain the American Legacy during our lives, effectively strengthen rule of law accountability from those who dictate and are officiating unconstitutional policy with antipathy for performance of official duties as prescribed and limited by the US Constitution.

Progressive circumstances require more than the adage that used to suffice, "Work smarter, not harder." As modernity abbreviates communication, "Work smarter harder."

56 Oh if you want a to listen to great anti-Lucas rants check the last two episodes of Tested.com's podcasts. Gary Whitta (Book of Eli writer) lights it the fuck up!

59 So, has everybody signed the petition already? Say what you will about Huckabee, he's dead right on this issue.

Saw Richard Dreyfuss on F&F this morning.  He made some good points on the total lack of civics and critical thinking being taught to our kids.  He founded the Dreyfuss Initiative to address this.  Pretty interesting, because I thought he was a big lefty, and he made remarks on what a unique and great country America is.  How we've lost that in the years following WWII.  After F&F did their brief 2 minute interview w/ him, he even chided them about their hit & run interview.....ie, no depth.  And that is what's wrong in our country.   heh

Didn't I hear something about Barbara Walters coming out and saying this wasn't true?

76 Yesterday I was in line to check out (not die, MSM, check out, so don't get your hopes up cuz I'll still be voting in the next election) and there were two guys in front of me.  One guy had nothing but chips, expensive microwave meals, thick steaks, ribs, etc.  The other guy had basically what I had: everything on sale, 5 lbs hamburger, crappy on-sale cereal, off-brand veggies, etc.  The first dude goes to pay with his food stamp card, but it doesn't work, and he gets irate.

 The second guy has reached his limit and goes off: 'Maybe it doesn't work because the taxpayers are sick and tired of buying your steaks, chips, pop, microwave meals.  Wouldn't it be nice if the same taxpayers that worked hard to buy you all this junk, could actually afford to buy their own families steak, hell, I'd be happy to afford pre-made microwave hamburgers.  I'd really be happy to find Little Debbies in my pantry.  Why is it that you get to buy all of this awesome food, while I'm barely able to afford the milk that I use on my generic cereal I have for lunch everyday.  Dear God.  Next time you swipe that card, remember who worked hard for it. '

Then he looks at me and says, 'If everyone on foodstamps only bought the basics, I'd have more in my paycheck so I could afford the basics.  Hell.  I'd be happy if they use that card to buy me meat.  When was the last time you had a steak?'

Then he turns back to first guy and says, 'Look.  I understand when people need help.  I get that.  I just get why you think we worked hard so you could eat chips, steak, and drink pop.  Next time, please think of the rest of us.  Our backs are hurting, we are sick of cereal for dinner, and our kids are discouraged.  Next time, please think of us.'

Then he left his groceries, and walked out.

No what the food stamp guy did?

Shook his head and said 'some people aren't right in the head.'

80 Cold case over: Carlina White, kidnapped as infant from hospital 23 years ago, reunites with family

81 I have some PC questions for the computer-literate morons. My old pc, a Dell Dimension 4700, died last week....as far as I can tell, it hasn't a virus or software-related, the power supply just went haywire. We decided to get a new Dell, take the hard drive from the old one, and use it in the new one, or at least make an external HD out of it. Of course, the wife is justifyably nervous about me tinkering around inside the brand-new computer. How easy is this procedure, should I just stick with the extrenal drive idea, and can I do it myself?

That being said, do yourself a favor and find a smaller computer shop.  I will bet you dollars to donuts an equivalent machine without the brand name, assembled in shop, will cost less, and have little to no shovelware pre-installed.  In fact, you'll probably be able to get a much better machine for less.

And finally, unless you just can't find the original disks to reinstall some critical piece of hardware, you really should just do the external HD thing.

90 83 A power supply for the old one is a cheap fix.  However, if you have to buy a new one, migrating the data from your old one shouldn't be too much of a chore.  Don't spend any unnecessary money.  Ask around first.  Today's entry level machines are incredibly powerful and very cheap.

I've been thinking about Obamacare.

If in 2012 the Republicans take the Presidency, but not a big enough margin in the house and senate, they won't be able to repeal obamacare. However maybe they can use the executive to get around it.

Obama has given out some 100-200 waivers to companies so that they don't have to comply with Obamacare. Why can't the next Republican president give out a blanket waiver to every company in america?

96 It's the truth, Iowahawk. You are teh awesome

97 We decided to get a new Dell, take the hard drive from the old one, and use it in the new one, or at least make an external HD out of it.

A lot of times when the power supply goes it takes the hard drive with it. So if you get a new machine I would recommend that you at least have someone check the old hard drive first. I also would recommend going with an external.

The easiest way to do that is get a hard drive enclosure from some place like Tiger Direct or Amazon, mount the old hard drive in it. Recover any old file you want to keep and reformat the thing to get rid of the old operating system on it.

I was feeling bad for the new girl  then the guy pulled out his food stamps. To make a long story short because I knew the rules for using food stamps we rejected what he had.  He left the store very irate and I had a shit eating grin for the rest of the day.

Standby for a screwing people

SC SC is backing off on the old sales taxes on internet sales ruling. So if you live or do business in SC on the internet look out.

Although the high court agreed that Travelscape has no specific physical presence in South Carolina, a 4-1 majority of the court said TravelscapeÂ’s agents came into South Carolina and visited hotels to negotiate online contracts. That helped make the Internet company liable to pay state sales taxes, the ruling said.

I hope they take this to the U.S. Supreme Court because they have previously ruled that no buisness presence means no sales tax. I don't think salesmen visiting the State to examine motels qualifies as a damn business presence.

Still awaiting a ruling on whether "crossed pubic hairs" is verboten or not.

115 My favorite Iowahawk is Beltway Adventure. 

116 106 BTW, there are tutorials on the internet to show you how to do any of these procedures once you decide what you want to do.  Don't forget to tell yourself, "This is the fun."  It helps.

117 Maybe you can order the part from dell and fix the old computer and then have two computers.

Any PC over 3 years old is just junk compared to the current series.  You have to pay someone to dispose of them. 

I used to use my old machines to play with Linux and other OS's but since Sun put out their free VM, there is no need to keep old hardware around when I can just run any x86 OS under Windows7.

118 To make a long story short because I knew the rules for using food stamps we rejected what he had.

I looked at it as Stewart going "Hey, you got something to say about me, come here on my show and let's go!"

Seems fair to me. And if Beck doesn't do it, all he's going to do is get mocked.

Like Beck already doesn't get mocked and Stewart wouldn't play out-of-context clips of his appearance for months to come.

Stewart has editors.  The fair thing would be for Stewart to go on Beck's show.

An interesting thing, though.  Clearly Stewart thinks Beck is above him, otherwise he wouldn't have issued the "challenge".  There's a reason that Ed Schultz is always challenging Limbaugh and not vice versa.

Nerd Alert!
Can't wait for payday tomorrow. Going to order some parts and build my first Intel based machine ever. Always built AMD machines to fight big blue, but that new i7 2600k part is singing a siren song.  Local Microcenter has them onsale for 50 bucks less than NewEgg (they raep you on mobos, so I'll order that from NewEgg). Can't wait to load up and trans-code with EIGHT LOGICAL CORES!!

i have no idea what you just said, but good luck

Two of my friends built new computers, their parents gave them parts for Christmas.  They too left the AMD chip which really concerns me since I own AMD stock and they used to have the best chips.

You should check XP bargains, tech bargains and dealigg for deals and coupons and promotional codes.  this Christmas the dealigg guy had a lot of newegg deals that no one else had.  I still can't believe the price I pad for a video card gift on a link from dealigg to newegg.  I was able to buy a way way better video card cause of the deal.

Pederast Q. Grammantic,

"I thought you couldn't buy a bunch of crap with food stamps..."

In college, I used to see people buying Wawa hoagies with food stamps.  Classic sized too! 

125 So the government was penalties for people who don't buy health insurance.

It doesn't occur to these people that government caused this problem by taking away the single greatest penalty you would face for not buying health insurance-- that of not getting care.

So government requires you get care with or without insurance, then tries to force you to buy insurance.

Once again, this is government creating a problem with one 'solution' that makes another problem that requires another 'solution.'  Lather-rinse-repeat.

You Bastard!

_{Can I come and stay with you for a week?}

128 I'm curious to know how you are going to put stuff on an external hard drive without a power supply.  Maybe you can order the part from dell and fix the old computer and then have two computers.  Just a thought.

If you order the external drive enclosure kit it comes with a power supply. The cable that toby showed earlier works fine as well too if you already have a power supply.

129 I thought you couldn't buy a bunch of crap with food stamps, but I watch this guy buy ONLY junk and Very expensive meals/meats.

At the time food stamps came in serialized books. If you didn't have the book the stamps came from they could be rejected. Most stores including mine (I got yelled at by management for checking and rejecting stamps) did not enforce the rule.

130 Beltway Adventure was about the funniest thing that I have ever read. I sent it to everyone in my family. I don't know that the libtards appreciated Iowahawk's finely-tuned sense of humor.

131 The cable that toby showed earlier works fine as well too if you already have a power supply.

Those universal adapters come with a power supply.  Well, maybe not the $12 ones, but all the one's I actually use do.

Like Beck already doesn't get mocked and Stewart wouldn't play out-of-context clips of his appearance for months to come.

Hey, Beck can take care of himself. He should do it. And then put Stewart on his show.

133 On the matter of Steve Cohen's (Democrat Party - TN) floor speech, Nile Gardiner's blog post (The Daily Telegraph) is on target. LINK

Excerpt:

There can be no doubt that if a British politician made these kinds of charges in a similar context in the House of Commons there would be widespread public revulsion over the remarks and immediate condemnation from leaders on all sides of the political aisle, as well as from the press. Yet the story has barely featured as a major news item in the US mainstream media with a couple of notable online exceptions, and ignored completely by pillars of the liberal establishment such as The New York Times. And as for the White House and the Democratic leadership, which has had a full day to respond to the comments, there has been complete silence.

Good thug - bad thug. For the power.

I'll be paying dearly for it come August. Some sort of universal conservation of awesomeness principle is at work, I believe; any place you live can only have so much awesomeness, so if it's totally awesome at some part of the year, it has to be completely crappy at another part to make up for it. Choosing a place to live becomes a game of balancing crappinesses.

Oh, yeah, and Y-not: Utah is just trying to suck you in and build your confidence. It'll get you back in a few years. Back in '84 in Logan, half of January was 40 below.

Oh, yeah, and Y-not: Utah is just trying to suck you in and build your confidence.

lol.  You may be right. 

We're noticing that the folks around here comment if it gets much below freezing which seems to imply that really cold weather is somewhat unusual.  It seems warmer here than I recall winters in Vermont being.  I gather we've had a colder and snowier fall/winter than usual, or that it has started sooner at any rate.  Our first snow was in late October. 

The main thing that's irritating is having to factor weather into our plans.  We had one trip postponed already because of closed canyon roads and my little Eos is not doing great with the snow in the long, steep, narrow driveway and at the curb.  Mr Y-not's Jeep can go through anything, so he's set, but I am struggling a bit.

But on the big things - economy, people, things to do - Utah is beating California hands down, so I'll gladly take the winters.

The response of, "maybe you're just too dumb to understand pollack" that two or three people were floating, doesn't help much either.

213 I had a chance to talk with Malkovich last Fall at a memorial service at the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago for his sister Amanda. Amanda was a friend of mine, and she unfortunately succumbed to cancer at age 50 last year. Yeah, John is amazingly smart, but nowhere in the league of his sister. She was scary, scary brilliant.

Oh yeah, Malkovich is conservative and is not shy about expressing it. It's really sort of odd how the Chicago theater scene in the 70's produced conservatives - beyond Malkovich, there's his Steppenwolf co-founder Gary Sinise and William Petersen (the CSI guy). Not to mention David Mamet, who outed himself as a conservative a couple years ago.

214 Long story, but I've been to William Petersen's house in LA. Strange neighborhood. He lives across the street from Gwen Stefani & Gavin whats-his-face, and kitty corner from Natalie Cole. And down the street from "the House of Davids" -- owned by this gay record producer who has a front yard full of naked Michelangelo David statues.

Rahm Emanuel on Deus Ex Machina pension reform on WLS radio this morning.

Start listening at 14:50 for Rahm to spin his magic.

"On another issue, Emanuel told Don and Roma he does not favor doing away with guaranteed pensions for city workers, even though the city pension system is bankrupt. Emanuel says the city is guilty of underfunding the pension system for many years.

"I want that pension there, and I want it on a stable financial footing. I accept the fact that for 20 years, the city hasn't held up it's side of the bargain. Let's work in honesty and be honest with each other, and in common agreement that we want to preserve the pension, which is what I wanna do."

Emanuel was not specific about exactly how he wants to reform the pension system, but he vows he won't raise property taxes to do it."

No property tax increase. No city income tax. No sales tax increase. No getting tough with the unions. Just magical "I'll fix it". The sad thing is, all these union goons will believe him. Fools. When it comes to speaking in platitudes, I think Rahm may be better than Obama.
