Monday.

Here are five stories in politics to have on your radar this week.

Politico has a profile on Club for Growth.

Obama is, reportedly, pivoting to the economy. Again.

The new Godzilla trailer actually makes me want to see the film. Also, I saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier over the weekend and it was good.

Don't forget to get the podcast if you haven't already. David Freddoso was our guest and we talked Mozilla, McCutcheon, and GM. Oh, and we got a lot of great Ask the Blog questions. Keep them coming.

4 This is among the stupidest headline links I have ever seen Fox post.

DC 'BRAIN DRAIN'? Exodus creates void in Congress amid gridlock

Really? I could agree if you said brain-dead drain.

In the article:

An exodus this year on Capitol Hill is creating a void in Congress, with some of its most experienced and skillful lawmakers suggesting the partisan gridlock is finally taking a toll.

Partisan gridlock? The RINOs controlling the Republican Party have caved on every major issue. I guess Fox has imported some staff writers from MSNBC.

15 How about a lying lead from The Hill to justify Obama's illegal use of Executive Orders to bypass congress.

President Obama is preparing to lean on companies that do business with the government with a pair of new executive actions designed to close the wage gap between men and women.

Studies have shown time after time that there is no "wage gap" between men and women performing the same job under equal settings. This issue is manufactured BS. Besides that, they have already passed a BS act when they had all three units of government that was supposed to end this BS controversy (which should tell the average idiot that there never was a problem to begin with).

It'll be Adlai Stevenson all over again.

For you young whipper snappers out there, that was a Democrat who ran for President 3 times in a row and failed all three.

He had a big enough name draw and backing to suck the life out of anyone else running but the American people just didn't like him and wouldn't vote for him.

Romney needs to shut up and sit down and let some else who really wants the job and will do whatever is necessary to win run instead of the same ol' same ol' that has been rejected twice now.

Morning, Â‘rons and Â‘ronettes. YouÂ’ve probably heard that we lost one of the last great ones, the multitalented singer, actor, dancer and writer Joe Yule Jr., better known as Mickey Rooney. HereÂ’s a Rooney story:

When he was making Baby Face Nelson in 1957, he became good friends with his co-star Carolyn Jones. She recognized him as a brilliant performer and loved to tease him, often saying after a particularly good scene, Â“Mickey, if youÂ’d been a head and a half taller, youÂ’d be dangerous.Â” One afternoon, they were shooting a scene that took longer to set up than usual, so the two found themselves sitting in a 1930s roadster, waiting for a call to the set. The two began chatting, and eventually Rooney began telling Jones about his wives Â– nothing too salacious, just that, somehow, heÂ’d always married women taller than he was, beginning with the fiery Ava Gardner.

Eventually he became pensive, finally lapsing into silence. As Jones watched, Rooney sighed deeply. Â“Yeah,Â” he finally said, Â“I put shoes on them and they walk away from me.Â”

Here they are in Nelson:

http://tinyurl.com/onkp2eg

HereÂ’s another story. To get the full flavor, you have to known that, at the time, the English slang for Â“salaryÂ” was Â“screw,Â” as in this passage from the Sherlock Holmes story The Adventure of the StockbrokerÂ’s Clerk: Â“The screw was a pound a week rise, and the duties just about the same as at Coxon's.Â”

The story concerns Jesse Lasky, one of the founders of Paramount Studios. He loved to make speeches, whether it was about the wonders of movie-making or to present a new star to the public. At one banquet, he was accompanied by a cuddly, luscious Australian starlet whom, he assured his fellow diners, he expected to do splendidly in Paramount films. Unfortunately, Lasky was unaware that the girl wasnÂ’t fully up to date on the differences between the English language as spoken in America and as spoken in Australia.

When Lasky had finished his stemwinder, he asked the girl to say a word. Â“Thank you, Mr. Lasky,Â” she smiled. Â“As long as I get a good weekly screw, you may be sure IÂ’ll do my job to the very best of my ability.Â”

Sadly, the story doesnÂ’t identify the actress; but letÂ’s pretend it was curvaceous, Melbourne-born, Mae Busch:

more likely we have such high taxes because people here vote for people like Rangel. Might be worse except that I think Gov Housing Bubble Cuomo is looking to run for the Dem Presidential nomination as a moderate.

Today the IBM's System 360 mainframe is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The S/360 changed IBM just as it changed computing and the technology industry.

The S/360 was different introduced a brand-new way of thinking about how computers could and should be built and used. The S/360 made computing affordable and practical - relatively speaking.

The secret was a modern system: a new architecture and design that allowed IBM to churn out S/360s at relatively low cost. This had the more important effect of turning mainframes into a scalable and profitable business for IBM, thereby creating a mass market.

The S/360 democratized computing, taking it out of the hands of government and universities and putting its power in the hands of many ordinary businesses.

And in the hands of many ordinary students. Since the computers were always left on, Sys-ops figured they might as well run decks from the kids to fill the empty time.

The poor widdle love bunny undocumented family hugging immigrants can love their country (that's okay, you see) yet love their family more so it's okay to break our laws. However, we are not allowed to love our country and insist that our laws be followed.

Because that's hateful or something.

And while I'm sure there are some poor widdle love bunny undocumented family hugging immigrants that obey ALL our other laws, they just missed the one, the evidence says that there is a shitpile of them breaking lots of other of our laws.

Like the truck full of them that crashed into a close friend's wife's vehicle and fled the scene on foot like cockroaches with the lights turned on. So what if she wore a neck brace for two months and had to have her insurance pay for all the mayhem. She clearly doesn't love her family as much as they do.

Don't fall for his trick. This is Jeb's game- he will never say anything except stuff intended to piss you off. Then when you get angry he can act like he's the cool head and the adult in the room.

He understands he never had a shot at the presidency because of his last name, so he uses this tactic to raise his profile to pursue speaking and consultant gigs.

its really pathetic that he spends all his time criticizing conservatives but all he can come up with is standard leftist refrains. I could criticize conservatives all day without touching leftist stupidity.

Do you mean Obama?

If so, then the answer is no. It doesn't sound like him.

Consult your DSM (your version may vary, 4r or 5), there are a nice variety of personality disorders, and the one you list here is anti-social. Which many people think is synonymous with   psychopathy, but let's not quibble.

Obama however, falls more closely into the narcissistic personality category, as   many have noted.

As for how you spot a psychopath, for a reasonably normal person, the easiest way is when you encounter one, he (and it's almost always a he) will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. If you have that   reaction to someone, trust it.

116 Good Morning, I am disgusted. I went outside yesterday to start pruning my roses for two hours. I have 200+ roses. I havenÂ’t seen such destruction in ten years. I have several climbers and I only got to a few of them. One of my favorites is called Berries Â’NÂ’ Cream & you can no longer buy that one. I have four of those. Two in the back yard & two on the opposite site. The plants in the back are okay but the ones on the other side have so many dead black canes I had to cut back lower than I do regular hybrid tea roses. I didnÂ’t finish because I didnÂ’t to out until 5 pm. I used to have a rose expert I could ask questions of but she passed away three years ago. I can ask others but she was in my area and IÂ’m going to have to find another one to ask questions of in Boston area. I doubt those climbers will bloom this year. I couldnÂ’t remember if we had the subzero temperatures before we had snow on the ground (snow would protect them) & now I have answer. I lost over half my roses during the winter of 2003-2004. It looked as though IÂ’m going to have same this year.

128 Drone Smashes Into Triathlete During Race Causing Head Injury not a joke During Sunday's Endure Batavia Triathlon held in Western Australia, a female competitor was taken to the hospital after a being struck in the head by an Unmanned Aerial Vehichle (UAV). The injured athlete, Raija Ogden from Perth, was struck by the drone as she began her second lap and subsequently fell to the ground. The drone is owned and operated by local videographers New Era Photography and Film, who were covering the event. They tried to say she fell from fright, and then hurt herself. But Ogden told a different story: "I have lacerations on my head from the drone and the ambulance crew took a piece of propeller from my head," she said. "My hair was completely red with blood. I didn't hit the ground. I sat down because I just thought I was going to pass out." http://tinyurl.com/kygakeb

175 In the early church it was common for people who chose to follow Jesus to suffer financially, relationally and physically for what they believed. They lost their property, their position and even their lives. Jesus said that people who followed him would persecute them just as they persecuted him. After he died the persecution became stronger. Hebrews 13:13 says, "Regard prisoners saw if you were in prison with them. Look at the abuse of victims as if you were one of them." Every day people in The Mideast and other places under Muslim control die or ar tortured for their faith in Christ. The website, Voice of the Martyrs addresses this. We are just seeing the beginning. I don't see supporting marriage between men and women as necessarily standing up for Christ. However, as somebody in the Vatican commented, "President Obama is an entirely secularized men who is against the family and against Christianity". There is so much more than gay marriage at issue here. The bottom line is that the state believes they are God and there shall be no. So it's about anything that comes into conflict with what the mighty state believes-global warning, gay marriage, Businesses founded by Christians should provide coverage for abortions. The list grows daily. Your entire submission should be to the Almighty state.

181 Did you find anything at Rosemania to kill blackspot? That was on a Saturday a month or so ago. Posted by: Carol at April 07, 2014 08:25 AM (gjOCp) Everyone says pretty much the same thing. The Maple Tar Spot is nearly impossible to get rid of and it spreads to other maples rapidly. Even one spore-bearing leaf contains enough spores to infect huge areas/neighborhoods. All I can do is rake them up, until, maybe the tree dies, then I'll replace it with an evergreen of some sort. Or, another shade tree that won't be susceptible.

183 Interesting conversation at WalMart on Saturday.

We are in the optical shop to pick up my new tri-focals (yes, really, M'F*ckin' Tri-focals), and at the tail end of being fitted by the very nice single mother who's lineage may have originated in Africa, I ask if the arms are of Spring technology.
And I mention that when shooting, the muffs press against the temples, and sometimes cause sealing issues.
Suddenly, we get into a discussion about how the whole VIA family enjoys shooting, and the fact that this employee is really interested in finding out if she can handle firearms. So. off we go into the discussion that many of us have had in the past, and she is contacting a female friend of hers that shoots at one of the same ranges that we shoot at.

And then, just to put the cherry on the whipped cream, her female supervisor becomes involved, and mentions both her and her husbands NRA memberships, the love of shooting, and how we need to preserve the Second Amendment.

Was really kind of an unexpected turn of conversation for a Baltimore WalMart.

193 Just a little about persecution: tests the character of our faith: Mt, 26:35 We should expect it: Mt, 24;13, Mk: 24;13,Mk 10:38-38 Finding assurance in: Luke 21: 14-19 Suffering for the Gospel: Acts 5;40-42 Finding assurance in Luke 21:14-19. I'm probably not going to go to jail over gay marriage, because eventually it will be the law of the land. Now I think everybody should have civil unions and save marriage for churches. That is a change from supporting it because of the gaystapo tactics. But for Jesus Christ-for the kind of faith that people face in Muslim lands face-which has nothing to do with gay marriage, but is simply because they are Christians- I hope and pray that I would have the courage to "stand up, stand up for Jesus" who is the glorious Savior and Lord. I wouldn't be able to do it under my own power because I may be a rather cowardly person. It's the Holy Spirit -a supernatural that helps people get through that.

Liberals cannot argue well - or in good faith - because they do it by flow chart with no thought required. To wit:

If disagreeable person A = white, then counterargument = racism. If disagreeable person A = black, then counterargument = Uncle Tom. If disagreeable person A = amalgamation of multiple victim groups, then counterargument = brainwashed and uninformed.
