If Barry hadn't shown up at the hurricane center, I am sure Irene would have been a CAT 5 storm when it hit NYC.

Well, since Vic hasn't made his appearance yet, everybody could go to my little corner of the blog universe.

Obama and Holder had their goons raid the Gibson Guitar factories in Nashville and Memphis last week. I did a bit of research, and you'll never guess why they got busted: Holder felt compelled to uphold an obscure Indian regulation over how much Indian (7-11, not casino) worker content must be used in the finishing of their wood.

Funny how he won't enforce American immigration law, but Indian law? Hell yeahs! Especially against a Republican donor. The rest of his competitors use the exact same wood, curiously with no armed federal raids.

16 That Gibson guitar factory raid gives me the chills. My girlfriend tunes and rebuilds pianos, some of which have ivory keys. We have small pieces of old ivory keys in the workshop.

Maybe I should take this opportunity to repudiate earlier statements that Holder's boss, Osama Obama, is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure?

On this day in 1786 ShayÂ’s Rebellion began in MA. This rebellion led to the founding of the Constitution. The uprising was caused by property taxes levied by local government that had to be paid in gold or silver. The only problem? There was no gold or silver to be had. So everyoneÂ’s property was being seized for failure to pay taxes.

So, you can blame our strong central government on taxes.

27 Obama and Holder had their goons raid the Gibson Guitar factories in Nashville and Memphis last week.

How about that, India's labor laws observed stateside in time for Labor Day, to be commemorated internationally?

The link I saw warned guitarists not to bring their instruments out of the country without all documentation of ownership and dated construction for re-entry as the goons confiscate vintage guitars as well as the new ones made of fine "extinction list" woods.

Gibson must not have paid off the goons to keep them at bay.

And/or, Obama plans to confiscate the Gibson Guitar industry for his own.

Shay's Rebellion, the labor uprising of its day, is one of those moments in history our generation recalls by name, but from elementary school long since, hard to recall what it was all about. Thanks for the memory jog, Vic.

They managed to rebel without the use of instant electronic messaging, and to have their voices heard and taken into account by governing officials without Unions.

55 50 Cool Czech, I have a question. My grandparents were from a country called Bohemia. It no longer exists. Have you ever heard of it? BTW, they were also very anti Germany. Posted by: chillin the most for Perry at August 29, 2011 08:03 AM (6IV8T) Of course it exists - it's called the Czech Republic today. Kind of an awkward name for a country - there's no short way of saying it, like "France" or "America;" you have to say the "Republic" part. That is on purpose: after WW2 hundreds of thousands of Sudeten German were expelled from the country because Hitler had used them as the pretext for invading Czechoslovakia. The Sudeten Germans are actually still out there, organized and still speaking of coming back to "Bohemia." They argue they are "Bohemians" as much as the Czechs are... so the Czech government refuses to call the country "Bohemia," to make it explicitly clear it is a CZECH place, not partially German. So it's stuck calling itself "Czech Republic."

63 @65: Well, if you're female they would probably have addressed you as Bohunko, which means something like "God's dearest," something like "dear." If they were referring to you, they would have said, "Bohunka," the female form of it. Czech is a complex language - you don't just conjugate verbs, but the objects of verbs, as well. Names change depending on if you are speaking to or of someone.

69 OK, to clear up the Bohemia/Moravia thing: Historically, the Czechs lived in a place called the Kingdom of Bohemia, which encompassed what is today called the Kingdom of Bohemia and a slice of Poland known as Silesia. These were collectively referred to as "the historic Czech lands." Bohemia is a district in the western part of the Czech Republic, and Moravia, the eastern. There is still a very small district known as Silesia in the north, I believe, but the vast majority of Silesia is now Polish. Czechs live in bohemia AND Moravia, but the Moravians have a distinct dialect and bristle at being called "Czechs" because it implies they live in Bohemia (in Czech, Bohemia is called "Cechy," which really is hard to translate but sort of means "the Czech place.") Also, because Moravia also had a large German contingent, a family in America today with Moravian roots may indeed be of German, not Czech, roots.

70 Uh, actually, today the Kingdom of Bohemia is called the Czech Republic, I meant... it gets complicated, for such a small place.

76 About that whole moderate Muslim majority thing....

Muslims to pray for UCI students on trial Monday

Muslims planned to gather Sunday night to pray for 10 students who go on trial Monday in Orange County on charges of disturbing a public gathering where an Israeli diplomat was speaking, an activist group announced.

"Mosques across Southern California will be filled with worshipers echoing similar prayers this Sunday night, showing support for 10 students who could be facing up to one year in prison for interrupting Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren's speech last year," the activist group's announcement said.

The students facing trial were arrested, cited and released after shouting and protesting during a February 2010 speech by Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren on the UC Irvine campus. According to prosecutors, the disruptions resulted in Oren being able to deliver only three minutes of his scheduled 30-minute speech. Oren was giving a speech about U.S.-Israeli security. Orange County District Attorney's Office charged each student with one misdemeanor count of conspiracy to disturb a meeting and one misdemeanor count of the disturbance of a meeting.

"These students are being treated like criminals because they're Muslim," said Kifah Shah, spokesperson for Stand with the Eleven Campaign.

After the incident, the university revoked the Muslim Student Union's charter for one year and placed it on probation for another year after launching its own investigation. In September, the school softened the sanctions and restored the group's charter on Dec. 31, but added a year of probation and 100 hours of community service. The students involved were members of the Muslim Student Union.

Posted by: chillin the most for Perry at August 29, 2011 08:49 AM (6IV8T) No, it sounds like they were ethnic Czechs living in the western district of today's Czech Republic. But you got remember: there were about 8 million Czechs living side by side with 2 million Germans up until WW2. The two groups traditionally hated each other; I don't want to stir up anymore animosity over the reasons why. Nevertheless, you have to figure there was a tremendous amount of intermarriage between the two groups over the centuries, and what is called a "Czech" today is probably, if a genetic study was conducted, really someone with 50 percent Slav and 50 percent Tuetonic blood that happens to speak Czech instead of German.

The attack, and then cry foul at any kind of self defense on the part of their victims. A muz will punch you in the face, then call the cops because your cheek bones made his knuckles bleed.

Our enemies, the muz and the libtards, are always on the attack. And we're giving ground every damn day. When does our side to on the offensive?

82 86,The two groups traditionally hated each other; I don't want to stir up anymore animosity over the reasons why. America is such a young Country. I guess we just have to live without those levels of ethnic hatred. This bled all the way down to family names, holding grudges for centuries.

87 Again thank you. I really wish they had shared more, but now it is too late. All of their 10 children were born in America (Chicago), and my dad was the oldest. He went to school not speaking English, and would come home and teach his parents and siblings English. When he was 83, he had a stroke, and for the first 3 months after, he could not speak English. My aunts had to translate for us, but eventually his English returned. He was always proud that Stroh's beer was Bohemian and Ray Kroc-who started McDonalds was Bohemian, but he said the country had been swallowed up. My grandparents were just proud that all of their children and grandchildren were Americans.

As they say, the difference between Europe and America is that, in America, 200 years is a long time. In Europe, 200 miles is a long way.

90 @96: around the year 1900, Czech school kids were taught that Chicago was the "Second Largest Czech-speaking City in the World."

91 Czech immigrants to America were like other Europeans - they wanted their kids to be, first and foremost, AMERICANS. I wish today's "Latinos" would take a cue from them.

If River used up her remaining regenerations to save the doctor, the River in the space suit who killed the doctor must have been an *earlier* reincarnation, which means that she would have known the Doctor was already dead and therefore she didn't need to kill him again.

It is curious that you are so heartbroken about this, but you couldn't give jack squat about Barky sinking this nation's economy in much the same manner: by undercutting its foundations. But you're from NYC, and these past few days have been all about you, haven't they?

Posted by: No Whining at August 29, 2011 05:32 AM (vM/sb)

98 Well, you have certainly stirred up lots of good memories! Since I was an only child, and my parents both worked, I used to spend my summers with my grandparents on their farm. I have no idea why they came to America, but my grandfather and his brother came in different years. As a result, they gave their names to two different immigration people, and ended up with different last names. And my grandmother, whose name was Jadwiega, had the name Mary on her immigration papers. Anyway, thank you again for the information!

100 Vic, this is from the article at The Hill. No mention of anyone being in a hospital. I'd link to it but I can't.

"South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson (R) will endorse former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman's (R) presidential campaign, Huntsman said Monday.

Huntsman said that Wilson, the son of U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson (R), will make his endorsement at a 10:30 event in Columbia, South Carolina."

102 Wasn't the famous Skoda works in their land? Which I think still exists... Posted by: Reactionary at August 29, 2011 09:04 AM (xUM1Q) Yes, prior to WW2 the Skoda Works produced first-rate automobiles and military vehicles, including light tanks. One reason Hitler was hot for Czechoslovakia was in fact the Czech armament industry, that was quickly added to the German war effort. Czechs are pretty good at figuring out ways to kill people. The Czech Scorpion was ripped off by the Israelis and called the Uzi. The Semtek plastic explosive beloved by terrorists is Czech made, too.

103 Oh, today Skoda is owned by VW and once again makes good cars. Under the commies, they were forced to make a version of the Trabant.

105 .... Which reminds me: Torchwood. I really wanted to like it, but It was killed by the gay agenda. And, I gave the new miniseries a try. Episode 3: Captain Jack violently skull fucks some dude he picked up in a bar ~ in no way does it relate to the story. ... Posted by: Beefy Meatball at August 29, 2011 08:40 AM (bZ8J6) When Captain Jack first appeared in Dr. Who, he was great. It didn't matter, female, male, insectoid (Episode 12: The Sound of Drums). That was funny and interesting. When he got his own Torchwood series, however, they went overboard and they went full-on TEH GAY! Not only that, he was scthupping the help! That's unforgivable, especially for some ultra-secret spy-type organization. BTW, did you ever see any higher ups that Captain Jack ever report to? I tried to like it as it was part of the Who Universe but... bleh, it SUX0R! (And not in a good way...)
