Huntsman drops out...  now the GOP is screwed with independant, high-minded squishes

4 In the laundry room in our condo building, some pinko idiot posted a photocopy of an article by a pointy-headed professor that basically said there's plenty of money in the world if we steal it from the rich, and that the forecasts of DOOM are fabrications made up by conservatives to prime the pump to cut social program funding.

It was utterly absurd, and necessarily filled with lies.  It was posted on a bulletin board meant for recycling notices.

So, what is the best response?  Write up a point-by-point refutation and post it alongside, or just rip down the article and drop it in the trash without comment?

I already did one of these - just want to see what the Moron Nation thinks.

9 Here's something interesting required from the last "mini-bus" appropriation funding Dept of Justice for 2012 ... Congress wants to know if we're just blowing up terrorists because we don't have a detention policy:


@font-face { font-family: "Times"; }@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }

Terrorism—The conferees are concerned that the lack of a current policy on terrorist detention may be a disincentive to the capture and interrogation of terrorist suspects, thereby depriving the Department of Justice (DOJ) and other agencies of critical intelligence that could inform and improve counterterrorism efforts. The conferees note that the Attorney General co-chaired the Special Interagency Task Force on Detainee Disposition that was tasked with reviewing policies for the detention of individuals captured or apprehended in connection with armed conflicts and counterterrorism operations. The conferees direct the Department, in consultation with other appropriate Federal agencies, to provide to the Committees on Appropriations, not later than 120 days after the enactment of this Act, an unclassified report on U.S. detention policy, including the legal basis for such policy, as it applies to current and future terrorism detainees. If appropriate, such report may be accompanied by a classified annex.

The irony is that his review takes  up so much memory that it cannot fit on a Kindle.

14 So, what is the best response?  Write up a point-by-point refutation and post it alongside, or just rip down the article and drop it in the trash without comment?

Can't reason someone out of a position they weren't reasoned into to begin with.

Toss it.

Maybe a offer a slogan-like response, like "Have you ever been hired by a poor man?"

15 Hey morons, why are you here blogging instead of out doing community service for MLK day? And  don't give me this, I'm at work stuff. Uncool.

16 I'm writing my review of the Kindle now.

Honestly?  It's a TOASTER.  It makes TOAST.  The TOAST comes out TOASTY.  So does Nook Toast and other e-reader toast.  Oh, the other ones don't also sell boots, jewelry and dishwashing liquid.  Their bad...

17 Well, on one hand, I appreciate free speech and I really dislike when the left tries to silence those that disagree with them.

On the other hand, those fuckers would not hesitate to rip down or deface anything I posted, and this is pretty much political war, at this point.

My concern wasn't the idiot who posted it - it was influencing people who might happen to read it and think that the bullshit it contained was factual just because it was written by a professor.  So, I thought perhaps a rebuttal would at least provide both sides of the argument to anyone reading it.

Then, I considered the fact that I could prevent a lot of harm by just removing the ability for others to read it, while really confusing the shit out of the commie.  Posting a rebuttal tells the commie he has an enemy.  Just ripping it down makes the commie wonder if it's opposition, or if management tore it down because it was posted in the wrong spot.

Just tape a little hammer and sycle to it; or that image of Maobama as the Joker. Graphic response is best.

19 I awoke to the smell of ciggerates and cheap booze. The soiled, sweat-soaked sheets clung to my body as I pushed myself up despite the pounding in my head. The pain in my head was intense, almost threatening to push me back into oblivion if not for the intense pain in my rectum driving it away. I put a hand to my eyes to block out the sunlight streaming in threw the window of the cheap motel I found myself in. I looked over to the other side of the bed, hoping that he was still there but knowing in my heart he was not. There was no note, no rose, no explanation, he was just gone. There wasn't even a depression to indicate he had slept there, he didn't even give me that courtasy. I pushed my nose down to smell, I could detect a hint of his cologne still staining the sheets, the only indication he had even been there besides my sore backside. I started to cry, tears streaming freely down my face. Mitt Romney had left and taken a piece of my soul with him.

20 Grognard - yes, exactly.  Killing germs is hygiene when done to prevent disease.  It's censorship or genocide when the left gets to twist up their panties and opine about it.

21 Just tape a little hammer and sycle to it; or that image of Maobama as the Joker. Graphic response is best.

Nice idea.  Next time perhaps I will. I'm going to watch for the idiot's future postings. There are a LOT of eastern European immigrants in this complex who won't appreciate rampant communism.

I think Alinsky was evil, but correct.  Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.  A post-it saying "In other words, 1+1=3." might be effective for articles like the one that was posted.

25 A post-it saying "In other words, 1+1=3." might be effective for articles like the one that was posted.

Or, better yet, a post it asking "Did Professor Frizzybean here sign all his income over to the gummint?  You who are reading this and nodding along, did you sign over all your income?  No?  Nuff said..."

26

From what I've experienced, leftards cannot handle ridicule or mocking.  They see themselves are informed, clever and only able to make snide remarks about conservatives, et al, but are unable to laugh at themselves or their sacred idiologies....

taping a soviet symbol or Obama-joker pic would do wonders... because it will also boost others to do the same... ridicule leftards daily.

Kindle questions.  Got one for Christmas from my dear sister, but haven't registered it yet so I can begin using it.  She'd like me to get started using it.

My mental roadblock is this:  I really don't like having to provide Amazon my real name, email, and credit card info.  Don't want all my book purchases/browsing tracked, don't want to be marketed to, don't want my wish lists public.  I've steered away from all social media sites. 

I have used Amazon's website to order books and DVDs, but dislike the email solicitations that follow based on my purchases and books/DVDs viewed.  Don't want any more of that.  Don't like the feeling that someone is looking over my shoulder.

Am I being unreasonable?  Can you use a sockname to register the Kindle and use a one-off email account w/out having to register a credit card?  Is there any way to stay anonymous with a Kindle account?

32 I'm going to fill the wood box today because the wife is off and doesn't like to see me doing nothing.

No, but it is a cash register that they sell you and expect you to use to send money to them.  How else can it work?

Israel is one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security, and that security must be a reality.”

If you've already used Amazon to order books, etc., how are you anonymous to them?

I've never received e-mail solicitations from ordering on Amazon.

I suppose you could have others order you a Amazon gift card, you give them the cash and use the gift card to order what you want. 

I've never had a problem with Amazon...I think it's one of the best sites on the internet.

37 Bing.com today has a picture of a statue at the MLK Memorial. It's a pretty slick statue, actually. The first thing that came to mind when I saw it: "I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?" Which, after a moment of thinking about it, seems kind of fitting to me. Both men had a dream of freedom, and both men's dreams were ruined by the machinations of the villainous Frank Fontaine.

After Mitt Romney is the nominee, I plan to have my DOJ investigate him for election tampering in Virginia. The investigation will go on during crunch time in the fall. My OWS operatives will chant about how Mitt is trying to buy the election. It will be beautiful.

Tampering with elections is my territory. I can't have those dumbshit Republicans getting away with it.

Interesting as a thought experiment, but I definitely don't want to waste that much time on this idiot.  I think quietly disposing of this article and any others that get posted will make the person wonder who is getting rid of them.  If they have a little angst over it, that's good with me!

#31: Just a Kindle, or a Kindle Fire?

The latter is an Android device, and you can install the IndieBound Reader which may be more suitable to your tastes, and is available in the Amazon App Market.

This app allows you to purchase ebooks from someone other than Amazon (or Google).

I bought my Mom an Fire for Christmas, and she seems to like it. I found the Amazon lock-in stiffling, and I was sorely tempted to root it and make it less stiffled. But I figure I can wait a year till the warranty is over, and Cyanogenmod has a supported ROM that I could flash on the device and eliminate Amazon's hold over it.

Someone even figured out how to put the Nook reader software on the Fire...

53 I also avoid social networking and leaving footprints (even though I have 16's), but I have a Kindle Fire and it's well worth it. Most media content will be headed that way.

Go for it Count.

54 When you quietly dispose of the article from the bulletin board, the poster will think he has a convert, taking it home for a more in-depth analysis

55 In Pennsylvania, Biden responded to a question about why college costs keep going up by noting that it was a “puzzle” and that there was “no one thing” responsible. But among the factors he identified were increases in faculty salaries. “Salaries for college professors have escalated significantly,” he said. “They should be good, but they have escalated significantly.”starts at 47:29

56
Also: if you're getting otherwise unsolicited email from Amazon, you should look at your opt-out settings. You may have accidentally checked (or not unchecked) a check box saying "yes, please send me crap in my inbox".

You should be able to check and reset the offending setting in your account settings.

57 Happy King Lee Day.

Kerry Kennedy, 52, ex-wife of Gov. Mario Cuomo, daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, was secretly hired as a “public-relations consultant” by the lawyer representing the Ecuadoreans in an $18 billion lawsuit against Chevron, according to court documents.

Cashing in on her respected family name and legacy, Kennedy raked in tens of thousands of dollars and was given a 0.25 percent stake — worth as much as $40 million — if the $18 billion judgment handed down by an Ecuadorean judge is ultimately upheld. (Chevron has not yet paid pending its countersuit in Manhattan federal court.)

Kennedy was paid a flat $50,000 by lead attorney Steven Donziger on Feb. 22, 2010, bank statements made public in the case show.

60 My thoughts from the end of the Huntsman thread, more appropriate here:
I think this past nine months have been a preparation by anti-conservatives for Romney being the Republican candidate. Too much seems to have been set in stone- OWS, pushing a class war, softball questions from media, highlighting other candidates mistakes while minimizing their strengths, luaPnites being promoted as the face of the GOP if Romney not chosen, the numbers games by the media on BLS unemployment numbers, ignoring the real costs of daily living [energy and food]. The GOP has been working behind the scenes to promote Romney as the guy to spend your money on [see Mosbacher comments]. I don't believe the other R candidates are staying in to be spoilers- I think they really see a danger in Romney or Obama as President.

61

Karen Kois, of the tragedy, recounting how she had bravely remembered to bring her phone charger and purse to shore. Thank god for miracles.

Okay, thanks for all the Kindle info.  It's a KindleTouch.  I'll check my Amazon website settings to turn off email.

Tami, though I used Amazon for books/DVDs through their website and am not anonymous to them that way, but am oaky with that.  However, I am leery of getting sucked in deeper to a proprietary borg collective by registering the KindleTouch in addition.

I talked with the Nook guy at B&N while daughter was getting required outside reading books for classes.  He said even with a gift card for making purchases, that Amazon still had to have a valid credit card on file for the Kindle account.  That the credit card and the email account were the two forms of ID needed to purchase eletronic media content nowdays.

Is that accurate?

With all the encouragement and no wave-offs, I'm less weirded out.  If anyone needs me, I'll be in my hermit cabin, typing out my manifesto on an old Royal manual typewriter.

63 I admit I like this song...

64 Martin Luther King was wrong in opposing economic liberty, but I get choked up when I see his mountain top speech given he was killed the next day.

65 MLK's Mountain Top Speech... It is a powerful speech.

66 Count, I don't know how you would get content to your Kindle without registering it.

Can't give you an answer about the gift card and still needing an email and credit card on file.  I've never not had an e-mail and cc on file with them. 

67 Am I being unreasonable?
Your on the wrong blog to be reasonable!!!

 Can you use a sockname to register the Kindle and use a
Dunno, ask at mobileread if your still wondering later.

"Count, I don't know how you would get content to your Kindle without registering it. "

I dunno if it will work at all pre-registration but you can move stuff on/off the removable SD cards on the ones that have it.  And you can move stuff to/from a computer via calibre (free e-library manager - must have).

OK, here is my rant of the day:

I am sick of this liberal meme that Obama couldn't do anything in his first term because of GOP obstruction, and they always always always recite that Mitch McConnell said one time that his goal was to make Obama a one-term President.  Andrew Sullivan makes this the centerpiece of his defense in his Newsweak screed.  It appears over and over again in the commenst section of every Web article I read.

Why do they think this is a good line of attack?  Doesn't it make Obama look like a weak-assed non-leader?  Who thinks Mitch McConnell is that great, or strong, or anything, that his words are that powerful - especially in stopping The Lightbringer, The One, etc.  If Obama was all that and a bag of chips, as he was sold to us in 2008, how did one bitchy comment by Mitch McConnell completely derail him? 

I guess I can sorta see that they are trying to make this an election about the Republicans in Congress rather than Obama's abysmal record, but when they offer no substance but just quote McConnell in January 2009, I think they make Obama look weak.  Real leaders overcome and subdue their opposition, or they disarm it, or they charm it into submission.  Obama just sulked and stamped his feet and now his minions seem to me to be just whining.

69 Can't opine right now, starting the day off occupyin' shit, then freedom marchin to a bar stool which I will then continue my occupyin'.

70 I wish my Governor (Perry) would simply come back to Texas where is loved, respected, and appreciated. The MSM has destroyed his chances of winning the nomination. I feel like my only choice now is Newt. Oh boy!

71 Avagreen, the only person that destroyed Perry is Perry. His poor debate performances doomed his candidacy. I say this as one of his biggest supporters here.

72

"I have a dream" was changed to "I have an invoice" not long after his death. Headed up by his number 2, Jessie. And carefull linking to that copyrighted speech.

73 Obama has pretty much decided to take his ball and go home already. Imagine 4 years of Obama with a Republican controlled House and Senate.

Obama has to be careful not to show what this would be like, else a “do-nothing Congress” could be replaced with a “Pigheaded President” as the problem to be solved by this election. His own meme could be turned on it’s head.

Many independents, who might vote for Obama otherwise, will not stand for 4 years of name-calling and finger-pointing.

74 4 In the laundry room in our condo building, some pinko idiot posted a photocopy of an article.. Grade it harshly with a red pen-recommend remedial math and reading comprehension.

75 In 1986, I joined the cast of the National Black Touring Circuit's I HAVE A DREAM, directed by Woodie King Jr., in New York City, playing all the white people in the world, from JFK to Bull Connor. For the next 13 years, in the months of January and February, I toured the country and a little bit overseas with this powerful and moving musical multimedia presentation of the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. It changed my life utterly, giving me a paycheck that I desperately needed, lifelong friends that I still have to this day, and an awareness of black culture that I never could have known had I not been a part of it. There is no doubt that its impact on me gave me the confidence to take on many of the wonderful opportunities I have had in my life, not only in my chosen profession, but in my personal life as well. When the social worker asked Leslie and I if we would be able to handle raising a child of a different race, there was no hesitation on our part. There is no doubt in my mind that my experiences with this play helped us in that decision. Thank you, Woodie King Jr., Herman LaVerne Jones, and the National Black Touring Circuit, not only for the great experiences performing one of the most moving plays I have ever been a part of, but for the impact you made on my life forever. And Happy Birthday, Martin Luther King, Jr. Not only did you change this country for the better, you changed the world so that I could have my son.
