I don't know how accurate this story is because it comes from the HuffPo assholes (Link to Weasel zippers)

I canÂ’t find any other source but if this is true Lindsay Graham (Rino-SC) needs to go ahead and switch Parties. ObamaÂ’s speech was the worst sort of clap-trap bullshit, truly worthy of the America destroying asshole that he is. And Lindsay thinks it was great and is ready to support him in sending more money to fucking terrorists in the Middle East. Money that we do not have.

Kiss my ass Lindsay Asshole Graham. As my great grandmother used to say “just seeing you makes my ass want to chew tobacco and spit”.

Obama succeeds once again in foreign policy

He manages to piss everyone off. Sucking up to the terrorists and calling for screwing Israel doesnÂ’t win any hearts and minds in the terrorist community either. Mildly chastising Syria doesnÂ’t do much for the common guy on the street either. LetÂ’s face it folks Obama is not just a total failure at domestic policy, he totally sucks at foreign policy as well.  Thank you stupid 52% who were looking for your handouts.

Krauthammer makes one of his frequent excursions into teh stupid

I donÂ’t see how anyone can call this idiot a conservative. He is now calling Obama policy in the ME the same as BushÂ’s based on the rhetoric from that speech. Frankly given that he has always been a staunch supporter of Israel I can not see where he is coming from here.

15 So McCain doesn't think the war powers act is Constitutional? Well I agree, but for different reasons. He thinks the President can declare war because he is the CIC.

I think only congress can declare war because that is exactly what the Constitution says. There is no 60 day clock.

Sounds like you agree with the War Powers Act.  The President can commit armed forces, but can't declare war.  Has to get Congress to declare war within 60 days or pull the forces out.

There has to be some reasonable accommodation like that, don't you think?  If you need boots on the ground planes in the sky immediately?

I figure, if the law is on the books, you obey it.  If you think it's unconstitutional, you work to get it repealed, or in front of the Supremes.

19 >>>I figure, if the law is on the books, you obey it. If you think it's unconstitutional, you work to get it repealed, or in front of the Supremes. Nah, we just make it up, as we go along.

How could it not be thus?  We have so many damn laws it's impossible to obey them all simultaneously.  We're sickeningly overlegislated.  We may as well be selective about which ones we live by.

Which brings me back to the McDonalds item on the side bar.  I was thrilled to my core to hear that a big corp finally stood up to those f*cking do-gooders.  I am sick to death of those pieces of sh*t telling the rest of us how to live our lives - as if it's any of their damn business whether I get fat or have a stroke/heart attack/liver damage/whatever.  If parents can't say "NO" to their kids when they demand a happy meal, then maybe that blood line needs to die out and we should glad that McDonalds is doing us all a f*cking favor by helping to drain the pond scum off the gene pool.  Of course, when they can't get their way by nagging us to death, they turn to legislation to force us to conform.  Those people are the reason we have so many stupid and unnecessary rules to begin with.  F*CK them.  In my mind's eye I envision Ronald McDonald kneeling on the chest of those damn nanny-state meddlers, driving red hot pokers into their eye sockets again and again while laughing maniacally. 

 

23 I donÂ’t see how anyone can call this idiot a conservative. He is now calling Obama policy in the ME the same as BushÂ’s based on the rhetoric from that speech.

 Of course it's the same, leave out the indifference Obama shows to the Israeli position in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict how is it different? The idiocy that we can or are transforming any part of the Middle East into a functioning democracy is the same.

24 If you think it's unconstitutional, you work to get it repealed, or in front of the Supremes.

A couple of congressman took Clinton to court over the Bosnia thing because he refused to obey the law and the Supremes refused to get involved. They used the "standing" cop out.

What needs to happen is congress should pass a new Constitutional Amendment that recognizes the need for rapid defensive action in modern times and at the same time retains the authority of Congress to actually authorize war.

25 The Leader of the Free World has a big meeting today.

In an ideal world, that would be exactly right.  But they can make bullshit laws WAY faster than you can get them repealed.  How many bad laws have ever actually been repealed once they got through the courts?  Damn few, that much is certain. 

The average citizen CAN NOT know all the laws.  Can't be done - not even close.  Even lawyers don't know them all - the best they can hope for is to know the majority of laws pertinent to their specialty.

The law exists now only as a tool to establish guild when the state needs to persecute someone.  I say, obey the laws you know are right.  As for the stupid ones, do your best not to get caught when you need to break them.

Fair enough.  But I contend that our side better get used to that approach.  The Dems have learned that they don't have to obey the laws, so they're going to do whatever they can get away with.  I've been shocked by how much illegality they've been getting away with, without even trying to hide it.  If our side refuses to get dirty as well, we're done.  They'll outflank us on every front. 

It's hard enough to fight the Left using the established system as it is.  They never stop.  They never just take a break to mind their own business for a while.  Libtards are chipping away at society 24-7, in every area of life, everywhere in America.  It never gets old for them - it's all they care about.  And all our side is doing is trying to hold back the tide - keep the deterioration slow.  We should be breaking their teeth (metaphorically) and putting them on the defensive, but we can't seem to muster the will.

Civil war would be horrible, but in the end it's what we should be hoping for.  The Libs will use the current system to bury us.  At least in a stand up fight we could win, or at the very least take a whole bunch of 'em with us.

37 Civil war would be horrible, but in the end it's what we should be hoping for.

Civil war rarely winds up with the objective sought. In most cases you wind up with a new leader for life and in worse condition than what you started with.

I would prefer we at least try for an Article V convention before we go all shootin' and stuff.

38 you work to get it repealed, or in front of the Supremes.

That is how you get it codified.
The fourth amendment is mortally wounded and soon completely dead.

9 Patriot Act.  So I'm a patriot if I agree to give up some of my freedoms?

It's a tradition to name laws the exact opposite of what they actually are. I'd assert that it's required by the Constitution, but nobody pays attention to that ol' thing.

42 The thing that is "ironic" about the WPA is that they had enough votes to override a Nixon veto. That means they had enough to approve an Amendment. All they would have had to do was send it out for State ratification to complete the process.

43 As you said, he is shitting all over the only real Democracy in the region and all he has done so far is rhetoric and support for terrorists.
Also, the 1967 boundary thing is NOT part of Bush policy.

And Krauthammer made that distinction also. His overall point that Obama has adopted the Bush Doctrine stands. I don't think there's anything in Krauthammer's article that I disagree with. What I disagree with is Krauthammer's, Bush's and Obama's belief that this policy is or will do any good.

44 Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) tells ABC News that the federal debt is now so out of control that the credit rating of the United States is in jeopardy and the only way to deal with it is a bipartisan agreement that increases tax revenues.

"The fact is we're at the lowest tax rate this country's been in a hundred years," Coburn said in an interview on ABC's Subway Series with Jonathan Karl. "And nobody believes that we're going to get a bipartisan agreement without some way to increase revenue for the federal government. We're also at the lowest level in a long time in terms of revenues coming in."

Increasing tax revenues, Coburn said, does not mean increasing tax rates. Higher revenues could be accomplished by closing tax loopholes for individuals and/or corporations.

"Do I want tax rates to rise? Absolutely not. Will I fight that? Yeah," Coburn said. "Would I agree to a plan that would create great economy that would markedly increase revenues to the federal government? You bet. And that's what I want to do."




Oh, that's what the budget problem was -- taxes weren't high enough.  Someone should have said.....

45 Hey! Nobody told me they're rioting in Spain over the economy. Youse guys are slipping up

46 "The fact is we're at the lowest tax rate this country's been in a hundred years," Coburn said in an interview on ABC's Subway Series with Jonathan Karl.

That is a damn lie. Time to get rid of this RINO as well. We do NOT have a tax problem. We have a spending problem. Why is it that these SOBs can not recognize that we know they "temporarily" increased spending by over a trillion dollars and they need to "permanently" reduce it back; NOW?

He is just carrying the Dems water for them.

47 Bush's and Obama's belief that this policy is or will do any good.

It's not designed to. It's playing to the cameras  for a world audience that is bigoted and intolerant with an approach that will never be implemented.

Violence is indeed the Left's tool - that's why they're doing all they can to take control of the guys paid to carry and use guns.  The police and military will be in their grasp, and those forces will be turned against us.  Since the Right in this country is shamefully disorganized, we're easy meat.  If they started rounding us up today, resistance would be in isolated, uncoordinated pockets and quickly smashed. 

The way you describe is the "right" way to do it.  But we can't.  First, we have reached a critical mass of voting citizens who are just takers.  Second, conservatives in general are highly motivated to mind their own business and keep things going - most of our kind don't get into politics with much seriousness until the state is making it almost impossible to get along.  That's part of why our presidential field is so piss poor - not enough smart and talented Cons get into government work.  We're busy making the world go around.  The Left, on the other hand, sends the best it has (who, thankfully, are still just trash) to government work to oppress the rest of us.  They are never satisfied, and work every damn day to screw America over.  Look at San Francisco.  They are the most virulently Leftist city in America, but they can't rest.  They keep finding more windmills to tilt at.  They're regulating pet ownership now, for pete's sake.  Every day their city council works to find more ways to expand their tyranny over every petty detail of existence.  And they will never, ever, rest.  Even if we won back the legislatures, the bureaucracies are too big to manage, and they are infiltrated by Leftists to the very core.  They will fight to keep their agenda moving, and to thwart any progress by our side.

49 Wait a minute:

"The fact is we're at the lowest tax rate this country's been in a hundred years,"

Increasing tax revenues, Coburn said, does not mean increasing tax rates. Higher revenues could be accomplished by closing tax loopholes DEDUCTIONS for individuals and/or corporations.

He is trying to have it BOTH ways. Closing deductions is IN FACT increasing the rates you lying shit. And "loopholes" is a Democrat term.

50 46 "The fact is we're at the lowest tax rate this country's been in a hundred years, Right... which is why Tax Freedom Day comes later and later each year. Does this cretin for ONE SECOND believe the federal, state, and local governments are sucking up less money today from taxpayers than they did in 1911??? What do Liberals think we are? Stoopid?

51 It's not designed to. It's playing to the cameras  for a world audience that is bigoted and intolerant with an approach that will never be implemented.

70 The death of Britian continues:

A former member of Robert Mugabe's feared secret police in Zimbabwe who admitted kidnapping dozens of his political rivals and carrying out acts of torture "too gruesome to recount" has been granted asylum in the UK under European human rights legislation.

Phillip Machemedze, 46, came to the UK in 2000 along with his wife because he had "enough of the torture", but waited eight years to apply for leave to remain.

On May 4, he was granted asylum on appeal under European human rights laws because a tribunal ruled he would be killed by his former Central Intelligence Organisation colleagues if he returned to Zimbabwe.

According to sources close to the case, he and his wife are living on social support benefits in Newport, south Wales.

Mr Machemedze spent four years in the CIO and admits smashing the jaw of an MDC activist with pliers before pulling out his tooth and stripping another naked and threatening to force him to rape his daughters if he did not give information.

He also confessed to electrocuting, slapping, beating and punching "to the point of being unconscious" a white farmer suspected of giving money to the MDC, and to "putting salt into the wounds" of a female MDC member who imprisoned in an underground cell before being stripped naked and whipped.

Mr Justice David Archer, of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber in Newport, said there was no doubt that Mr Machemedze was "deeply involved in savage acts of extreme violence". "Some were killed slowly and their bodies disposed of. He witnessed people with their limbs cut off. Other acts of torture were too gruesome to recount," he said.

But he said that under the European Human Rights Convention, he himself should be protected from torture and threats to his life.

"Those rights are absolute and whatever crimes PM has committed, he cannot be returned to face the highly likely prospect of torture and execution without trial," he ruled.

The Home Office has said it will not appeal the ruling.

71 Oh Great! Looks like Mitch Daniels supported an individual health insurance mandate back in 2003. Well, scratch him off MY ever-shorter list. How about an Individual Politician Mandate to Keep Your Bloody Paws Off Of Our Business???!!!!

This is about polling numbers. Obama's personal exit strategy is an international government position.
If you are familiar with the parable of the unjust steward, The steward figures out he's going to get fired and so while he has some authority left, goes to all the people who owe his boss and settles their accounts for a pittance. When he goes back to his boss he says "Here are all the accounts paid in full" and the boss says "You were wise to make friends for yourselves by ripping me off. Now when you fail, they will receive you in and owe you a multitude of favors."
As for stirring up a hornets nest amongst those peoples who feel oppositely,
it keeps us off balance as we try desperately to plug the dike and are running out of fingers. It wears us out.

Three ways to deal with fed revenues:

1. Flat Tax for all based on income

2. VAT for all with no income taxes

3. States collect taxes and tell Feds how much they will pay for their limited functions

All have costs: Flat Tax requires income reporting and verifying (currently performed by most States). VAT requires enhanced border security to counteract smuggling (currently in place). States tell Feds how much they can spend (requires overturning the 17th Amendment). Fundamentally option 3 is the only check possible on Fed Government growth, so we know it can't possibly succeeed, right?

82 Well that was crap, started raining as soon as I went out the door.

Oh, somebody's not going to like the B word:

The PM said that Israel appreciates the presidentÂ’s commitment to peace, but added that he expects Obama to reaffirm US commitments to Israel from 2004. According to the pledges made by then-President George W. Bush, the Jewish state will not be asked to retreat to the 1967 borders and large settlement blocs will remain in IsraelÂ’s hands.

We need to come up with some sort of final solution to this issue.

91 I actually got a letter to the editor published in the Houston Chronicle. Here it is:

The headline "Owners preying on poor with dangerous rentals" (Page A1, Sunday) went a long way toward explaining to me the nature of liberal thought processes. It is a core liberal belief that slumlords grow rich by exploiting the poor.

I would like to point out the obvious truth that preying on the poor is a completely fruitless and futile activity. The poor, by definition, have no money upon which to prey.

They are broke, busted, flat down and out, turnips out of whom there is no blood to be squeezed.

The reason the rental properties for the poor are in states of ill repair is that nobody has any money to put them into better condition - not the people renting the property, nor the barely better off owners of the property.

If somebody is going to prey on anyone, it is going to be on people who actually have something upon which to prey - the middle class or the wealthy. This is why Bernie Madoff targeted the wealthy with his investment schemes; the wealthy had something to steal.

The Chronicle sat on the letter all week - only publishing it today. I can imagine the short circuited liberal brains - complete with sparks coming out of their ears- when the people at the paper read the truth about one of their unquestionable core beliefs. Consider the angst confronting the editors when they were finally forced by the reality of what I had to say to publish my letter.

I included a post script with the letter - which was not published. I'll include the post script here:

I hardly expect this letter to be published. Your problem, however, is that you can't unread the truth you've just read.

To quote that esteemed philosopher Nelson Muntz: "Ha Ha".

That is a damn lie. Time to get rid of this RINO as well. We do NOT have a tax problem. We have a spending problem. Why is it that these SOBs can not recognize that we know they "temporarily" increased spending by over a trillion dollars and they need to "permanently" reduce it back; NOW?

This Vic, is the problem.  It's called baseline budgeting.  Everything in the budget starts from where it ended the prior FY.  They just incorporated porkulus into the baseline.  That's how the deficit goes from $500B to $1.5T in a year, with a trillion dollars in porkulus added to the baseline.  CUT SPENDING!!

My problem with the War Powers Act is who is it intended to restrict -- the President or the Defense Dept?  If it is the President "breaking" the rule and engaging in an illegal war - then it is a political problem; if on the other hand, the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who are now engaging in this "illegal" war are violating the Act and liable in some way, then I have a real problem.

At first i thought it was not big deal but now i do think it is dangerous. he rewarded the palestinians for no good reason and the only thing that will come of this is more violence.

Congratulations on being "published"!  My wife used to bemoan the fact that we live in an older, somewhat "downscale" neighborhood until I showed her the online blotter that the local Sheriff's office publishes every day.  Seems that all the crime happens, you guessed it, in the expensive "upscale" neighborhoods across town.

Nobody in our neighborhood has anything worth stealing and all the crooks know it.

106 It's called baseline budgeting.

But all that extra spending was advertised as "temporary" stimulus due to an "emergency, therefore it was never supposed to be baseline.

The lying shit-weasels expect us to have forgotten that in two years.

107

At Legal Insurrection:

More than a hatred of Israel, Obama simply doesn't feel the historical, religious, and emotional connection to Israel felt by a majority of Americans.  Much as the unique British-American relationship was cast aside, so too the special Israeli-American relationship is secondary to a greater goal.

The greater goal is Obama's legacy and ego.  Obama wants to accomplish what no other person has been able to achieve, Arab acceptance of Israel as a permanent Jewish state in the midst of a sea of Muslim nations.

It is an elusive goal because Israel is not accepted by Muslims. 

Lot of words to say "freaking idiot".

108 How could it not be thus?  We have so many damn laws it's impossible to obey them all simultaneously.  We're sickeningly overlegislated.  We may as well be selective about which ones we live by.

If you like your present health plan you can keep your health plan. However, sometimes a little waiver has to be granted to enable you to do so. Here's the good news.

RIYADH/DAMMAM: Saudis dismissed US President Barrack Obama's much-anticipated "Arab Spring address" as meaningless, predictable drivel while Egyptians and other Arabs, to whom Obama offered some sops, also did not find anything new in the speech, which according to them focused on US interests.

118 Obama Attacks Israeli Leader Netanyahu After YesterdayÂ’s Call to Give Jerusalem to Hamas

Now, Barack Obma is attacking the leader of Israel.
YNet News reported:

US President Barack Obama told aides that he does not believe Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will be able to make a peace deal, The New York Times reported on Thursday night.

Obama reportedly said that Netanyahu can not make the concessions necessary for peace.

The Times also reported that the timing of ObamaÂ’s speech was planned intentionally to preempt NetanyahuÂ’s address to Congress on Tuesday.

125 What kind of grass? I have centipede and am getting large irregularly shaped brown patches in my yard, seemingly in random places.

Centipede. When was the last time you dethatched?  Centipede needs to be dethatched every couple of years after it is established or its roots will grow so thick it will choke itself out. I had that problem and now dethatch every year.

There are also some types of fungus attacks that will kill it.  If you have a lot of tight fitting "roots" in the dead spots it needs dethatching. If not, it is probably some kind of fungus.

Not really.  Well, at least not in central Ohio.  I have been to so many Jewish-American functions with my mom and her best friend (a very strong, out-spoken Conservative Jewish American).  We have discussion after discussion about her love for Israel (her kids live there).  Bush was a strong defender of Israel and they hated him for it.  They hated that Israel 'has to be defended' (their words).  Her Synagogue went to Israel in 2008 and usually they get a great number of people to go, yet that year they had problems even finding the minimum because most of them didn't want to miss an Obama rally in downtown Columbus.  She is despised by member of her own faith because she is a Conservative, Jewish American.

I have a lot of discussion with her friends and the resentment they feel towards Israel (not Hamas) is frightening.

Was I over stating it, sure, but not by much.  Read the news, they are just now warning Obama he is crossing a line?  Just now?!  Look at the people standing up for Israel.  They aren't Jewish, they are Christian.

When was the last time you dethatched?

I raked the hell out of the front yard last spring and this spring with a leaf rake but I probably wouldn't call it a proper dethatching. More like getting up most of the dead stuff. I ran my mower through the back with a dethatching blade in late winter and my back yard actually looks worse than the front.

It could be thatch based on the spottiness. I may try some antifungal applications just in case.

Posted by: Optimizer at May 20, 2011 07:54 AM (F56VB)

The bill was originally called the "Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001", and there were plenty of good reasons for it considering that made sharing info between law enforcement agencies and intelligence personnel had been difficult for damned bureaucratic reasons previously.  When 9/11 happened, the Bush administration realized the difficulty of sharing info between agencies was actually putting the nation at risk.  (Look at the example of the INS finally getting notice to a Florida flight school that they had granted student visas to a Mohammed Atta and Marwan al Shehhi. . .  in March 2002.  This could've been prevented if so much bureaucracy and redtape had not been in place previously.)

It was Congress who changed that initial name of "Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001" to "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act".  PATRIOT Act.  Bush regretted letting them get away with the new name because he apparently recognized that some would find it controversial. . .  but his number one duty and focus became doing whatever it took to protect Americans.

Spit and sh*t all you want to about the PATRIOT Act, but I confess, I've never had negative feelings about it.

158 I ran my mower through the back with a dethatching blade in late winter and my back yard actually looks worse than the front.

Dethatching blade??? A dethatcher usually is pulled behind the mower and had thick wire tines that gouge down into the dirt about an inch to break up all those tight root clusters,

This is what mine looks like

I put a couple of cinder blocks on it to make the tines go deeper into the dirt. This also helps to aerate the grass.

Podhoretz had a decent article on liberal jews some months or years ago. I'm too lazy to look for it.

As someone who was a jew as a kid(now agnostic/atheist), I can tell you that politics is religion for most of these congregations.

modern reform judaism isn't really a religion per se. It's more like Shintoism. It's essntially ancestor and history worship than an actual religion. You're reading the Tanach because that's what we've been doing for five thousand years, you're not reading it develop a code of ethics, way to live ones life, or for salvation. You just do it because your parents did, and their parents did, etc etc.

I would remember that after the Kadish and services ended, we would go into the  dinning hall area of the synagogue and discuss politics and current events. To them, liberalism, and it's modern embodiment, the democratic party, is their religion.

Oy.   Maybe I am not explaining this very well - (sick kids + up all night = need more coffee .  My mom's best friend is one of only a few in her Community that really stands with Israel.  I started going to 'meet-ups' with her because I believe Israel should be defended at all costs and I never understood why some in the Jewish community didn't believe so.  She allowed me to tag along because she wanted me to see what she is up against.  She wanted me to see that the older generation is where the animosity lies (I thought it was with the younger generation - college kids).

The ignorance I saw made me sick. Their disregard for Israel made me sick.

Unfortunately, the sub left yesterday, so they're camping at a local base.  Don't know what he'll tease them with now.

208 We always had to paint, etc. after moving in....hate.

I don't mind painting... except for bathrooms.  They're a pain -- a couple of them need painting.  And there's one room that needs wallpaper stripped.  Other than that, it's cool.

We have to get some work done - new roof (the sellers are paying for it, thank goodness), a bit of carpentry (mostly exterior - fence, deck), and some electrical (just the usual things - new light fixtures, ceiling fans), but in terms of what we have to do, the work is minimal so it should be fun and we have all month to do it. 

Are there any mountain states morons on thread this morning who have experience with aspen trees?  We have several really big ones in the back yard and they are in terrific shape.  I know they can be pesky at lower elevations (I think the house is at about 4500-5000 feet) so I'd like to get right on top of whatever it takes to keep them healthy.

The USDA is an unconstitutional POS that needs to be squashed just like the EPA. This BS 500 bunnies/yr limit sounds like a prime example of the "American System" at work.

Some big agri-buisness that sells rabbits for meat probably got that regulation passed to run all the small producers out of buisness.

I have to use the 100 year question here. What would people have done 100 years ago? First there would not have been an agency like this or a asshole bureaucrat like that. But most likely if one had come around demanding $90,000 because you raised rabbits he probably would either have been shot or tar and feathered and ran out of town on a rail.

It is rapidly approaching the time when those kinds of things need to come back into vogue. We sure as hell don't have anyone in congress trying to do anything about it.

217

Congrats, Y-not. I kinda sorta finished painting one of our bathrooms yesterday.

I'm getting too old for that shit. If I hadn't had a guitar-player buddy of mine help with this place, I'd be screwed. Good thing I can do drywall work, and minor electrical work.

Weak mind, strong back. Or at least, it used to be strong.

218 Just finished washing towels and sheets.  Now I've got to get out of here and head to Stein Mart.  Saw a pair of buffet lamps in a flyer this morning that have my name on them.  And they're half off.

Dethatching blade??? A dethatcher usually is pulled behind the mower and had thick wire tines that gouge down into the dirt about an inch to break up all those tight root clusters,

I have a walk behind mower. The blade I got is the same size as a regular blade but it has hard plastic tines that do the same thing as the pull behind. It worked OK but I wouldn't say it was great.

I have a spot that I missed this year (and probably last year) with the dethatcher due to irregularity in the level of the ground. It is choked out now. I wish there was some way to take a picture and post it on here so I could show you what it looks like.

I'm going to keep looking around and see what I can find out. My main concern is a fungal disease. I think I can adequately take care of anything else.

Congrats on the house.
I saw your mention of ceiling fans. Going from past experience, many people just hang fans on pre-existing ceiling junction boxes that are not designed to support the weight and oscillation when the fan gets out of balance.  Take the time to closely look at the ceiling boxes, and see if they need to be upgraded to ceiling fan strength rated boxes.

Good luck in your endeavors with the new place.

  The hardest thing about buying a house (to me) is seeing PAST the paint, furniture, etc. If you get caught up in the part about paint, cupboards and the like you can screw yourself right out of what would be a fine home.  If it were perfect, you wouldn't move in the first place.  My wife is a prime example of not really seeing a house, and it made our purchase kind of a pain.

Don't get your turbans in a twist - I need but merely ramp up the printing presses for a bit. 

241 I went and read the CFR for that rabbit stuff. Sure enough they were required by "regulation" to get a license. They do have a case though, "retail" outlets are exempt with no limit on the number. Since they sold some of their rabbits to individuals they qualified as a "retail" outlet.

242 Are there any mountain states morons on thread this morning who have experience with aspen trees?  We have several really big ones in the back yard and they are in terrific shape.  I know they can be pesky at lower elevations (I think the house is at about 4500-5000 feet) so I'd like to get right on top of whatever it takes to keep them healthy.

I don't know if we are just lucky or what, but we have an aspen (three trunks that split at ground level) that has done fantastically well here in the midwest (elevation something like 300ft!)

My wife fell in love with them on our trips to Colorado some years back.  It was difficult to find one here, but we finally found a nursery who had a few.  The tree has taken off like crazy.  We don't do a darn thing to it.  So, you're probably good to go if it looks healthy.

The only drawback on aspens are the seed pods that come from the female one.. they are all over my back yard right now!

Good luck with the new house!

243 Being an Adult sucks. We should tell kids that.

"No, Daddy!!! Say it isn't so!!!!!!" Heh, heh...

244 Just goes to show though, the U.S. is the most over-regulated country in the world. We crow about how we don't have the buisness stifling corruption like they do in the third world that requires a bribe to get anything.

Here we pay even more because the "big guys"  pay the bribes and the little guy gets stuck with regulations so expensive they can not operate.  Regulations that accomplish NOTHING. The USDA shouldn't have jurisdiction at all for the sale of "pets".

245 221: Reading the comments at the NYT is always an unnerving experience for me. They are so thoughtful, so well written...so completely detached from reality as most people define the word...

246 Congrats, Y-not! Being a lazy single woman (emphasis on lazy) living alone in a townhouse with a two-story foyer, I hired painters to paint downstairs, the landing, and the hallway upstairs. They did a great job for just abut $1300. But if I had a man-love, I would have probably painted myself (meaning him painting mostly).

  The hardest thing about buying a house (to me) is seeing PAST the paint, furniture, etc. If you get caught up in the part about paint, cupboards and the like you can screw yourself right out of what would be a fine home.

Yeah, that can be hard. 

Hubby and I make a pretty good pair.  I tend to respond to the overall feel of the place and especially the yard.  But that means I get overly influenced (positively) by small things, such as if they've made cosmetic changes to kitchen cabinets.   I can lose sight of the practical. 

He tends to look at the projects that need to be done, which can sometimes mean he gets hung up on some weird detail that would require a professional to fix even if the rest of the house is good.  He passed on one house that I wanted that would've probably needed a small bump-out addition and I passed on one house that he wanted that needed a lot of interior work which was simple enough (flooring, wall coverings) but would've been really expensive because the house was so huge.  (Plus, I was not crazy about the yard on that house.)

The hardest thing about this house-hunting experience was gauging what was going to happen to the neighborhood.  There had been a housing boom, then the market collapsed, so there were really nice homes in partially-occupied neighborhoods.  We could have gotten more home for our money in one of those areas, but at the end of the day we are pretty risk-averse people so we went for the most appropriately-sized house for us in the best neighborhood we could afford. 

It really was hard finding a house that was not too big in a more upscale neighborhood.  We're too old to live in a starter neighborhood at this stage of the game. 

248 Being an Adult sucks. We should tell kids that.

249 Congrats, Y-not! I'm at a bit over 1000 ft elevation and aspens thrive here. Can't wait till the fall again - there's a dirt road that goes through the Canterbury Hills that's a tunnel of aspens, and it's like being in a bright yellow tube. I'm getting pics this year.

I always thought this adult baby crap was a sexual fetish. Are we paying disability for people to get their rocks off now????

253 Yay! My loan pre-approval got done! Now on to actually finding a place. Arg. Thats the really hard part right?

Yup! 

Remind me again: where are you?  Is this your first home? 

Having the loan pre-approved is great.  It makes you a much more attractive buyer so, in theory, you should be able to get the sellers to flex on some things. 

If you can find a good realtor, I'd recommend using one.  They really help take the emotion out of the process, especially at the negotiating stage.  And they help drag you over the finish line.  I was at the end of my emotional rope and husband was/is really pre-occupied with work, so I really credit our realtor with getting about $8000 in repair costs paid for by the sellers.  I was the one who found most of the homes (using Realtor.com and some other sites), but she really was key on making the deal. 

Even if you want to look at For Sale By Owners, you can usually get those folks to pay for your realtor's fees.  If they don't have 3% of flex on their price, you probably are too far apart to buy that home anyway.  There are a lot of people who are in denial about their home's depreciation. 

254
   We struck gold in our present house, it's a one level ranch in a great neighborhood, with no room for additional development and no neighbors 10 feet away, something I despise.Nice quiet street with just enough kids.
 
   The builders did a tremendous job of utilizing the space (it's 1600 sq ft) with a finished basement. For us, the size is perfect.  The best feature imho is the enormous garage that gives me room for both vehicles and the Toy. Life is good here. All we've done is some tinker shit that isn't objectionable--for once. I spent a lotta years in our previous home improving it, and it yet tweaks me to leave it for someone else, but arguing with the Committee is fruitless. So on balance, it's just fine.

255
Anybody see the flix Tucker & Dale  vs. Evil?  It's about two rednecks on vacation at their dilapidated mountain cabin when they are attacked by a group of preppy college kids.

They do.  Teachers constantly tell students, "these are the best years of your life."

Yep, the best years of your life are when bitter and ignorant public servants control almost every aspect of your day directly.

Meanwhile, we are stuck with the likes of Newt and The Donald. You want Doom? I'll give you Doom: Obama will be reelected, easily. *SIGH*

Remember that South Park episode where the moms were protesting the TV network for showing Terrence and Philip.  The Network issued an apt public statement to address the protestors.

"*ahem- clear throat* Fuck you!"

McDonald's should do that to the Ronald haters.

Oh, and please pass my sympathies along to your husband, Y-not, on having to go through Newark.  I think I've mentioned it here before, but that is arguably the WORST airport I have ever had the displeasure of traveling through.  The bathrooms alone are like something out of a ghetto McDonalds.  All that's missing is the odd beating of a transvestite.

294 Oh hell.

So check this headline out:

Family finds $45,000 in new home _ then returns it

Awesome, right?! He gives the money back.

But, check out his statement. He thinks by giving the money back, he will get more because people will reward him for his honesty. You know the guys a lib because he talks up his decision and says he did it 'for the children':

Ferrin thought about how such a large sum of money could go a long way, pay bills, buy things he never thought he could afford.

"I'm not perfect, and I wish I could say there was never any doubt in my mind. We knew we had to give it back, but it doesn't mean I didn't think about our car in need of repairs, how we would love to adopt a child and aren't able to do that right now, or fix up our outdated house that we just bought," Ferrin said. "But the money wasn't ours to keep and I don't believe you get a chance very often to do something radically honest, to do something ridiculously awesome for someone else and that is a lesson I hope to teach to my children."

I was listening to Tom and Todd this morning on AM 680 out of Boston, and Tom made the point that I couldn't articulate well enough to post yesterday: Obama likes his actions to be considered "new" and "fresh."  He assumes that "new" means "better."  Throwing Israel under the bus (though he'd never admit that's what he did) is a "new" American strategy, so he assumes it'll get him into the history books.  What he doesn't understand is that it is also a dumbfuck idea that could only have been birthed from the brain and belched from the lips of the world's most inexperienced, inconsiderate, immature "leader."

Oh God, you poor thing!  If I'd been stuck in Newark Airport longer than a couple hours, I think I would have gone out of my mind.  That or I would have caught some horrible fungal infection from brushing an elbow against one of the water fountains. *shudder*

313 I'm still doubtful as to whether this will hurt the One. As we've noted, Israel isn't stupid to agree to any of this. Indeed, if Israel does expedite settlements, then Obama will be able to throw up his hands while the pundits talk of yet another golden chance for peace spurned by one of the parties. They're already spinning the drivel as "strongly pro-Isreal" and "not critical enough". And some of his base is happy.

But he'll vote reliably for Obama, just like last time around. The other keeps a photo of Barry & Moochelle in her cube. I think American Jews feel guilty they weren't victimized by the Holocaust, and psychologically need to vote Liberal. It's like the Stockholm Syndrome or something.

Reid is commenting on a proposal Boehner made in either an interview or several interviews, is what it sounds like.* He says Boehner must agree to raise taxes and cut more from defense.

_{*A number of members have asked for more than a dollar for each dollar they raise the debt ceiling.}

Newark isn't *that* bad if you just land, grab your bag, and get out.  You just don't want to be there for any extended period of time.  I've found LAX and Philly to be similarly unpleasant.  (Philly's the cleanest of the 3, but it makes up for it by being a big confusing sprawling mess where it takes infinite walking to get anywhere).

356 Also, there is a story circulating that Dr. Coburn will write his own budget calling for cuts of $9T/10 yrs. He wants deeper cuts in Medicare and in some other areas. Difficulty is that this is another individual budget (as opposed to consensus document) that won't have the support of party leaders.

357 If you ever wonder how the GOP ever got so fucked up? Well, Newt is your answer. How that silly son of a bitch ever got elected as a Republican is a testament to how fucked up the GOP had become. I loathe the stinking POS.

358 Breath deep the gathering gloom
Watch hope fade from every room
The White House press will not lament
Another day's useless energy spent.

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
The One calls for love and they run,
He then picks up and suckles his son
Rather wishes he were young.

Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colors from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right,
And which is an illusion.

366 tldr,
good stuff.
I gotta disagree with Vic though.

What needs to happen is congress should pass a new Constitutional Amendment that recognizes the need for rapid defensive action in modern times and at the same time retains the authority of Congress to actually authorize war.

I think ambiguity can be a good thing.  Not for chain of command or responsibility reasons but to keep bad-guys guessing e.g. RR scaring the turbans right out of the hostages.  The WPA clearly fails the Constitutional CIC role here.  Executive means sometimes you just gotta kill.
OTOH if there's time to wait for France, there's time enough for Congress, and the accordian players.
