4 It is SO good to have power back on here in coastal Connecticut.  Folks with outages have dropped from 700,000 to 300,000 and now to 299,999.

Short, to the point, well written. I like that in a morning post.

And best wishes for a speedy recovery, Vic. The Moron Horde is thinking of you.

7 AE, it was awfully nice running on generator for about 36 hours here in the Boston 'burbs. Best. Investment. Evar! And it comes with an enormous carbon footprint for free. Highly recommended.

8 Screw Bob Beckel. I will never forget him during the 2000 election aftermath, when his plan was to blackmail Republican electors.

Posted by: real joe at September 01, 2011 03:24 AM (w7Lv+)

9 Beckel may be a massive douche but you gotta give him a little credit for living his version of the AOS Lifestyle and taking nonstop shit from Gutfeld over it in stride. God bless Gutfeld.

14 First day of fucking school here. Assholes drive like shitbrains getting their snowflakes all precious. Why the fuck do we have busses? These mooches just love spending my tax money on less than useless luxuries. Why don't we teach kids how to pull their heads out their asses instead of encouraging them to reach up higher into their colon for their "dream" or whatever. Public education fucks up a kid more than drinking or smoking combined. College education is smoking and drinking. Why is sending kids to public school to sit around and be tortured with bullshit anymore humane than letting them earn a few bucks in a factory?

Yeah, Roll Tide! I think I signed up for ESPN3 so I can watch it on my computer. This would be a good chance to try it out, if it's free, that is, or included in my cable package.

20 Gutfeld is almost the only "TV personality" that doesn't essentially kiss the boots of liberal "personalities".  His bashing of Beckel is the only reason for the few minutes a day I waste on that show.  Beckel continually (and seemingly without realizing it) exposes the shallowness of the prog/lib viewpoint.

And get scoped beginning at age 50. I had a benign growth cut off three years ago at 53, and having my three year this fall.
Do it. It dont hurt, and the OR people love it because you say some really funny shit to them during the procedure. IV sedation only, go home in three hrs or so.

Pumkin-head-Beckel seems at times to be just exhausted from having to spew the libtard tripe on a day-to-day basis.   He's ready to fall off the wagon, if it doesn't collapse from under his own weight first.

Second the early scope recommendation.  If not caught early, this is deadly, but the scope is just a PITA.  With the scope, your down time is about 1.5 days.  With internal surgery, it is a week or more and there may be other complications.

My best to Vic.

35 Dick Cheney just completed a sit down interview with the entire cast of Morning Joe.. It was amazing watching him slap down one insinuation after another. Also amazing he admitted he luvs the show and watches every morning. It was kind of hawt, warching Mika squirm in her seat as his manly presence was giving her unwanted muliples! The day Palin can do what he just did, I'll declare her ready for a serious presidential run. Instead, she hides out on FNC.

Has Warren Buffett paid his taxes yet?  Cuz he's willing to pay more as soon as the courts decide he doesn't have to cough up the $1 billion dollars he's avoided paying in the past. 

Does the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation get a refund for the money the Atlanta school district stole from it by cheating on test scores? 

Why isn't the SEIU protesting outside the non-unionized winery owned by Nancy Pelosi?

Did I miss a tv special where David Copperfield made GITMO disappear? 

Did the anti-war movment dissolve over threats of portable showers at every march/demonstration?

These are the "weighty issues" that has me considering a speech before a joint session of my cats and dogs.

Why is last month's news today's Drudge headline?

It takes that long for our "journalists" to report. Given problems with pirates, China's aggression aside, it only makes sense for India to do merchant business using an amphibious assault vessel.

ChinaÂ’s naval assertiveness irked defense officials in India and Vietnam. China claims the South China Sea in its entirety, rejecting partial claims by Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan over the resource-rich region. China and Vietnam have been trying to mend fences ever since Hanoi claimed in May that Chinese patrol boats had sabotaged Vietnamese oil exploration vessels. Vietnamese protests over negotiated terms of agreement then began in June, causing the Vietnamese government's response against its own population. Hillary Clinton insisted last year that the South China Sea was of strategic importance to the US and offered to act as a mediator.      On July 22 shortly after the INS Airavat completed a scheduled port call in Vietnam traveling from the port of Nha Trang to the northern city of Hai Phong, an unidentified Chinese warship demanded that IndiaÂ’s merchant marine amphibious assault vessel identify itself and explain its presence in what China claims Chinese waters only 45 nautical miles off the Vietnamese coast within VietnamÂ’s economic zone.

Btw, "Peace With Honor" aside, it didn't take a genius to go figure at the time just how wrong Nixon/Kissinger were making China America's favorite trade nation. How's business lately between US and Vietnam?

60 39 Maverick Muse,

we sorta were playing brinksmanship bingo with the Ivans and trying to contain Chinese adventurism in SEA at the time through a defacto bribe....

China had its own Vietnam called well "Vietnam"....

http://preview.tinyurl.com/3c48ns5

Link to Wiki on it....

now there's two ways to look at this...

1) China got bitchslapped and vietnam asserted that it was its own nation not "little brother"

2) the Chinese are the only second tier power that truly understands the limits on military power and was genuine in just wanting to raid Hanoi....

anyway at any rate with a real President we could get Vietnam into a renewed SEATO and use their military trainers to aid us in guerrilla war tactics...they are simply the best at it

When I saw photos of the MLK memorial, something seemed odd. Then I read that the Chinese sculptor who did the statue has done many statues of Chairman Mao. After that, it all made sense.

What a memorial: foreign labor and materials, plus $800K to King's family for the "rights" to build it. Yeah, that's a great friggin' monument!

83 80 BBL,

right, exactly...we pressured NATO to trade with China and the annual renewals which even Tip O'Neill gathered gave us a pressure tool and a hedge against the Chinese cooking their books...

nobody knows the soundness of the Chinese currency in the way they do for even Greece....

I am betting there is a lot of Imaginarium involved in their so called capital reserve, when we had annual renewals we could shut off trade if need be.....changing that status is what gave us access to the Red Chinese credit card that is unhealthy for all involved.

90 84 No, the "Babysitter Bill" does not apply to babysitters. They're specifically exempted. See sec. 1451(b)(2)(C). http://twurl.nl/i5gssv

I'll fix the sidebar.

Unfortunately the Genrac 5000 generator was at a job site, not at home.  But a few bags of ice in the fridge got us through, schleping up water from the pond to flush toilets.  Power, but no internet back at my company in Clinton CT.  Nothing like seeing a two foot dia. tree through the roof of a nearby business to get really thankful for being untouched.

The art of making mac&cheese over a Sterno can.  Listening to baseball on radio by LED flashlight with the son.  Rereading books, driving around New Haven to find WiFi. 

A true idyllic time, including plotting elaborate torture scenarios for the guy with the generator.

Hm, Christie's new NJ law, "Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights" leaves no room for "innocent bystanders" and begins the "tell" of tattling in Kindergarten.

Incidentally, the Coptic Christians firmly indoctrinate the separation of church and state based upon Jesus admonishing people to give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's. "Naturally" fanatic Islamists annihilate them whenever taking power, unsatisfied with the enforced dhimmi tax, eliminating any philosophical challenge to purist Theocracy. The Egyptian Army government has not been able to protect the indigenous Coptics whose Egyptian ancestry predates Islam by centuries. And on the Egyptian Army government, they don't do the garbage duty. No one removes Cairo's trash any more.

Even the section he cited proves that he's full of shit and doesn't know what he's talking about claiming its "debunked."  His debunking is referenced in the exact same text he just struck through.  He proved the article accurate.  That is the opposite of debunking.

116 so if you unionize babysitters then the costs will go up and the new norm of the two working parents family will be stressed by increased childcare costs but, the union coffers will be filled to donate to political candidates chosen by the union hierarchy, right?

What was Cheney's popularity at the end of the Bush era, about 18%, never mind that he helped keep the lives of the worthless 52% safe for a decade. Why was this, because the MFM press followed the dictates of a public relations campaign, coming out the Emirates and Kuwait among others, that sought to exonerate every terrorist, and stigmatize every measure designed to counter them. So there is that to consider.

Morning, all!

If you're planning to visit Canada, I'd do it sooner rather than later.  Their government is currently debating passage of a bill to expand the scope of their already oppresive "hate speech" definition to include national origin as an "identifiable group," to join the ranks of such familiar chestnuts as color, race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation.  But, since "hate speech" can only be directed toward groups that are considered "disadvantaged," that means calling an Israeli a "genocidal baby killer" would be just peachy, but calling a Pakistani a "childish little goat-humping moron" would warrant a visit from the police.

Worse still, one amendment to the bill would make it possible to be charged with hate speech even if all you do is "provide access" to supposed hate speech.  This can be a simple as posting a hyperlink to a website where someone posts an article that describes a "disadvantaged" group in a negative light.

So yeah.  Get your mountie hats and Canadian bacon while you can.

(B) Any person who is the parent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, child, or legally adopted child of the domestic work employer. (C) Any person under 18 years of age who is employed as a babysitter for a minor child of the domestic work employer. If he has any balls, he'll not restore CDR M's post, he'll strike through his own bullshit. But considering what a condescending jerk he was during the debt limit debate, Survey Says!

132 The "babysitter bill" is of the same mind-set as the infamous $600 threshold 1099 reporting clause that was part of the ObamaCare bill.  That 1099 monstrosity was repealed only with great effort and a lot of liberal wailing and gnashing of teeth.

It's all about depriving citizens of their discretionary income.  Every dollar kept after paying bills and taxes is a freedom dollar.  When you no longer have a freedom dollar, you are a slave.

Stephen King Launches ‘Provocative’ Radio Program

Horror writer Stephen King will launch a “deliberately skewed, left-leaning morning show” on two Bangor, Maine radio stations owned by King and his wife, WZON 103.1 FM and 620 AM. Regular hosts will be former gubernatorial candidate and journalist Pat LaMarche and Don Cookson, a former reporter and communications director for Maine’s Secretary of State.

“We wanted to shake things up a little bit in the market,” King said. “We’re a little to the left, but we’re right…. We’re going to be provocative.” The station is expanding news coverage while other stations are cutting original programming.
