Overnight Open Thread - Case of the Mondays Edition
— Maetenloch

And for those who were wondering - here's the new 2012 schedule for the ONT:

Was Gordon Gekko an #OWSer?
Jim Geraghty points out that when you listen to his 'greed is good' speech in context, Gekko's complaints are very similar to some of the rants you hear from Occupy Wall Street protesters. Of course his proposed solution was vastly different from the #OWSers.
[Gordon Gekko:] Today, management has no stake in the company! All together, these men sitting up here own less than three percent of the company. And where does Mr. Cromwell put his million-dollar salary? Not in Teldar stock; he owns less than one percent. You own the company. ThatÂ’s right, you, the stockholder. And you are all being royally screwed over by these, these bureaucrats, with their luncheons, their hunting and fishing trips, their corporate jets and golden parachutes.

Cromwell: This is an outrage! YouÂ’re out of line Gekko!

Gordon Gekko: Teldar Paper, Mr. Cromwell, Teldar Paper has 33 different vice presidents each earning over 200 thousand dollars a year. Now, I have spent the last two months analyzing what all these guys do, and I still canÂ’t figure it out. One thing I do know is that our paper company lost 110 million dollars last year, and IÂ’ll bet that half of that was spent in all the paperwork going back and forth between all these vice presidents.

Katy Peterson Gives A Rip About Alabama
And after this commercial I'm ready to buy a fake Alabama ID off of ebay and go vote for her.

What's It Like To have a Trophy Wife?

I have what you might call a trophy wife. She's 14 years younger than me and very attractive. She's every bit my intellectual equal but I did meet her after many great successes in life. I met her at a charity event where I was perhaps ironically flirting with the much-plainer coat check girl and she cockblocked me.
My wife is pretty hot and she says she loves me and she does everything right, but I've learned there is a thing called men's intuition so you always have doubts. They never go away.

Testicle-Eating Monster Fish Finally Caught
So all us dudes can rest a little easier and go free-balling in the water once again.

An intrepid British angler today told how he snared a predator which kills men - by biting off their testicles.

Fearless Jeremy Wade, 53, spent weeks hunting for the fish in remote Papua New Guinea after locals reported a mysterious beast which was castrating young fishermen.

He finally unmasked the perpetrator as the Pacu fish - known locally as ‘The Ball Cutter’ - and managed to catch one in his small wooden fishing boat.

Mr Wade wrestled the 40lb monster on to the floor of his boat and opened its snapping jaws with his naked hands - to discover a jaw-dropping array of human-style teeth.

Survey: Gardasil Doesn't Turn Teen Girls into Sluts
But no word on whether they get retardated:

Teen girls ages 15 to 19 who are vaccinated against HPV are not more likely to be sexually active, according to a survey in The American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Another positive finding is that sexually active girls who were vaccinated against HPV were also more likely to consistently use a condom than sexually active girls who were not.

31 Unlike Gingrich or Santorum, let alone Perry, Romney actually can explain to the voters why some companies fail and others succeed.

A bit of a cheap shot since Santorum is not attacking Romney from the left here unlike Newt and Perry.

No,that's not the monster....Maybe this is the monster?!?!? No, no, not the monster..This is most certainly the monster!!!!!! No, not the monster either" Followed by two minutes at the end of the show where they finally catch the monster and it's a......fish flopping around in the boat looking about as scary as a kitteh.

42 I'm exposed to trophy wife/older rich dude couple ALL THE DAMN TIME at my daughter's private school functions. God bless em, but seriously I feel for the old dudes. Those women are either bland as the day is long or have the personalities of a ball-chomping fish. But I guess pretty to look at. I think that wears off tho, with the amt of time these guys spend talking to ME - normal looking but I guess pretty smart, I'm no trophy wife that's for sure! How can you be with someone all the time you have nothing in common with? I know I can't stand talking to these chix. Only so much one can say about shoes purses and plastic surgery

Ever design a pot still?

I have access to pharmaceutical grade equipment for, essentially, pennies, and I am tempted to build my own still. For experimentation only of course. Obviously not for consumption.

I can build one based on my vast chemistry experience (Chem 1, Organic 1, Physical Chem 1, and some biochem), but perhaps there is a source of better information?

Any ideas?

136 The (name your exotic animal) pyramid worked like this: The animals had intrinsic value for meat, fur, etc. Softer than wool, less cholesterol than beef, everyone will want it. But first you had to buy breeding stock. And there were very few providers of breeding stock. So it was expensive. You needed to get in early so you, too, could raise and sell breeding stock. And so on, etc.

There is no one answer, because fridge temperatures differ. But if you're in a hurry, you certainly don't need the fridge. Your ham is preserved with salt, and will be cooked to an internal temperature that will kill things off. There are some uncertainties with food safety, certainly, but when was the last time you heard of someone getting food poisoning from a ham?
Also, if it's a country ham, I'm pretty sure nothing could possibly live in there.

Oh Gawd, YES!  The stink makes your eyes water before you pass out from lack of oxygen.  Plus their breath is rank.

Probably their bodies are digesting themselves, for lack of other meat. My latest pet peeve is seeing eggs for sale, that are touted as being from vegetarian chickens. That didn't seem weird until I got some chickens. They love insects and other sorts of meat, more than any other food. You should see them go nuts when you give them a leftover turkey carcass, or some cut-up sausage. Not giving them meat is just wrong. Plus, the eggs taste better if you do that.

180 The thing is Romney was saying why privately buying medical insurance is a good thing but he said "I like being able to fire people if they are not providing the service I want" What tiny percent of a the population can relate to talking about switching companies/ shopping around with the speaker uses the term "Firing people" Its right up there with Perry's dumbshit "heartless to disagree" -- with in-state tuition for long-time residents regardless of official citizen status. It was just really out of touch with most people who who work for some company. Sure we can explain what he was talking about and point out that cities that cant fire non-working unionized school janitors have crappy schools etc even if it was a general comment. But only if they are the small percent of the population willing to hear explanations rather than having made an unchangeable negative emotional judgement based on that one comment which they will first hear in an edited soundbite? How many serious conservatives did Perry lose with the one heartless comment?

That didn't seem weird until I got some chickens.

They chow on small lizards, baby frogs/toads, and pretty much anything that can't outrun or hide from them they can manage to choke down.  They're also rather unfussy and will peck at and eat their own shit occasionally after its aged long enough to get hard and dried out.

If they weren't tasty, they'd be pretty gross animals.

In James Clavell's Shogun, his protagonist has to choose a crew for one of his ships. He wants to screen out any Catholics, because they would be allied to Portugal, his enemy, so he has each of them step on a cross before he accepts them. It worked. He found some spies.

Back before he became bear shit Treadwell used to show up on talk shows (I think even the Tonight Show, Letterman, etc.) and claim that he was safe, and the bears were all cuddly.  I read a column in an outdoor blog where several old sour doughs had warned this idiot vigorously that he was in danger.  One of them said unequivocally, "This guy is dead within a year if he keeps this shit up".  Almost exactly. Those old outdoorsmen knew their bears.

273 But what about North Korea? Their sufferings aren't even allowed to be known. That makes me believe it has to be the worst of all.

Very true...but the national character I think is still one of dignity and enduring hardship and so forth; Haiti is just so freaking poor, bizarre, depraved, and batshit crazed. I wasn't meaning just the actual poorness and deprivation. There is a creepy factor there that is hard to describe. And filth. I don't see NK being filthy, for some reason.

But it was a poor choice of words, there are probably far worse places to live, and normal civilization is still within reach if you're motivated enough, hell the DR isn't far at all.

278 One of the best capitalist movie scenes was Danny Devito in Other People's Money (an utterly fantastic movie).  When the court issues an injunction to stop him from accumulating more stock in this little New England Wire Company (wire and cable), he says to his team of lawyers:

"T.R.O.  ... Temporary restraining order.  Thank you very much.  Some crew I've got.  Seventeen lawyers, on retainer, and you manage to work it out so that in a free market, a so-called free country, I can't buy some shit-ass stock every other asshole can buy.  Congratulations.  You're destroying the capitalist system!  While everybody else in the world is embracing it, my boys and girls are fuckin' it up! 

You know what happens when capitalism gets fucked up?  The communists come back.  They come out of the bushes.  Don't kid yourselves.  They're waiting in there.  But, maybe that's not so bad.  Because you know what happens when the commies take over?  The first thing they do is shoot all the lawyers."

295 Sorry, can't figure out how to tinyurl here, but here is an interesting excerpt from a long interview Romney did in the 8/25/1994 edition of Bay Windows, a big homosexual-oriented newspaper in Boston: BW: Are you in favor of lifting the military ban against gay men and lesbians and do you agree with President ClintonÂ’s "donÂ’t ask, donÂ’t tell, donÂ’t pursue" policy? MR: I think the position which President Clinton reached with the concurrence of [Gen.] Colin Powell was a fair compromise and a good step and I support that. I would be surprised if it stops there. I believe that there will be change over time as the military establishment and the rank-and-file become more comfortable with the realities of sexual orientation in the military. I will support progress being made in that area as time progresses and the military and society becomes more accepting. BW: ItÂ’s another state issue, but do you support legislation to repeal the archaic sex laws? MR: IÂ’m not sure which ones each of those are, but I donÂ’t think it makes sense to have laws on the books that are not enforced and that only hang over people as possible threats, and so again itÂ’s a state-by-state decision and I wouldnÂ’t want to impose on a federal level what each state does on their laws, but I think itÂ’s a mistake for us to leave laws that are not enforced. BW: Do you favor a non-discriminatory clause to protect lesbians and gay men in any federal health care reform? MR: Part of that gets to the question which health care proposal I favor, and IÂ’m not sure exactly how that issue would fit into those proposals or those plans I favor. The answer is: IÂ’m in favor of avoiding discrimination in a health care provision, but IÂ’m not sure exactly how that clause would work. I would like all Americans to be covered by health care and to have universal coverage. I think we can reach universal coverage, not with employer mandates, but by providing incentives to small businesses and individuals to purchase insurance or to obtain coverage, or by providing access to make that more affordable. IÂ’m also in favor of changing our health insurance regulations such that insurance cannot be denied for pre-existing conditions. So the proposal that I favor would provide insurance to men or women regardless of their sexual orientation. IÂ’m not in favor of a one-size-fits-all federal insurance plan where politicians decide what is in everybodyÂ’s health insurance plan. I would far rather let Americans take advantage of many options, and take advantage of the plan that is most attractive to them. BW: Do you support condom distribution in federal prisons? MR: I would support the conclusion of medical professionals and social workers in prisons as to what they thought was helpful to prevent the spread of the disease. If that was something they though was appropriate, then I would support it. I donÂ’t see any reason why that would be an inappropriate thing. BW: ItÂ’s another state issue, but what about condom distribution in schools? MR: Here again, youÂ’ll hear me saying the same thing on a number of issues, there are choices I think should be made at the state and local level that I donÂ’t like the federal government getting into. I like important moral decisions being made closest to where people live, at the state and local level. So if the community feels that condom distribution is a helpful thing, then that community should be able to do that. And if another community feels thatÂ’s something they donÂ’t support, then they should have the right to do that, as well. You will find in me a continuing philosophical commitment to allow people to make their own choices and to allow the people in the country to decide whatÂ’s best for them, instead of letting politicians decide what should be done for the country. BW: Should people who are HIV-positive be allowed to immigrate to the U.S.? MR: I have to admit I have not spoken to immigration officers about the extent or the costs of that policy, so I hesitate to speculate. I think it is a legitimate right of the government to say, Â’We donÂ’t want to take on massive medical costs which we as a society would have to bear." On the other hand, I think it would be wrong to deny people who are HIV-positive access to the United States if there were no substantial costs to us. I would feel the same way, by the way, if someone came to the door who had cancer and was indigent and said, "I want to come to the United States." IÂ’d say, "Gee, can you care for yourself?" - because itÂ’s a concern that our government would have that someone would come and cost our system a lot of money. If somebody has the ability to care for themselves then I see no reason to have restrictions on HIV or cancer or any other kind of patient. BW: Do you support increased funds for breast cancer research and education? MR: I do support increasing funding for the discovery of the cause of and the prevention of deadly diseases, and would like to see us spending more in the area of breast cancer, cervical cancer, AIDS, cancer and heart disease. I am not yet an expert on how much funding each disease has received, but I think we have to look at the degree of risk to our society at large and then spend what is consistent with that risk, such that breast cancer, which afflicts a very large number of women, deserves greater interest and research and spending. My priority on a spending basis is to make sure we donÂ’t spend more than we take in as revenue, and I have major areas where I would like to make cuts in federal spending. I think we will continue to need to increase our funding for medical research and prevention of deadly disease. BW: Why should the gay community support your campaign when Ted Kennedy has been a strong supporter of civil rights issues and the gay community? MR: Well, I think youÂ’re partially right in characterizing Ted Kennedy as supportive of the gay community, and I respect the work and the efforts heÂ’s made on behalf of the gay community and for civil rights more generally, and I would continue that fight. ThereÂ’s something to be said for having a Republican who supports civil rights in this broader context, including sexual orientation. When Ted Kennedy speaks on gay rights, heÂ’s seen as an extremist. When Mitt Romney speaks on gay rights, heÂ’s seen as a centrist and a moderate. ItÂ’s a little like if Eugene McCarthy was arguing in favor of recognizing China, people would have called him a nut. But when Richard Nixon does it, it becomes reasonable. When Ted says it, itÂ’s extreme; when I say it, itÂ’s mainstream. I think the gay community needs more support from the Republican party and I would be a voice in the Republican party to foster anti-discrimination efforts.

Would you eat bark and dried leaves without something to help it slide down?  The motor oils of that era were much closer chemically to medicinal mineral oil than the oils of today, which might be a lot more toxic with all the crap they add to them.

On the plus side, they probably had no trouble with constipation.

First time was a kidney infection diagnosis, then he threw up when he got home and aspirated some of it and was breathing short, fast and weakly. Wife then rushed him to the emergency vet - some aspiration pneumonia. They're on the way back now. He's 14 and hanging in there, but he had to take the knockout gas twice today. Here's hoping there's fewer of these in the future. Wife will FREAK if anything serious happens to him. (so will i, ugh) Send some good energy, will ya?

330 Supposedly, the "secret" to rissoto is to brown the rice in oil first. Other than that, it's like pasta. It tastes like whatever you add to it. I can a mixture of tomatoes, hot peppers, and onions every year. Open a jar (1 pt), add it to the browned rice (1/4 cup), and simmer for 1/2 hr. (This is actually a Slovenian recipe.)

332 No risoto is a fat little round italian rice that has a different type of starch.   It doesn't have a pectin starch so it doesn't get real mushy and gelatinous if cooked right.  Being as I am thinking about preparing it for my Masonic Lodge I have to use a non-alcohlic white wine.  Alcohol is not permitted in a Masonic lodge in Ohio. There are some very specific ways it has to be prepared to make it well.  Often it is the main course of the measl but I know my lodge brothers are going to want meat.  I will probably go with some type of chicken, possibly a lemon chicken .

333 War, the Tigers offense looked so bad that I wondered if they had hired Jets OC Brian Schottenheimer for this game

It doesn't totally explain LSU's almost non-existent offense tonight, but the biggest mistake Les Miles ever made (and I wonder if it was even his decision) was bringing back that massively-overrated thuggish idiot Jordan Jefferson as starting QB (after Jefferson's eight-game suspension for kicking in a guy's face in a Baton Rouge bar parking lot).  I know so many people who swear Jefferson's the greatest thing since sliced toast and have never understood it.  The guy makes Scam Newton look like Drew Brees.

Jarrett Lee, he's the kid who got LSU where it was this year.  He's the kid under whom LSU beat 'Bama the first time around.  And ever since Jefferson came back, we've seen Lee sitting there on the sidelines every Saturday, discarded like a three-week-old used condom.  Miles would only put him in toward the end of the last quarter of each game, after the victory was pretty much locked up, and that was almost worse than not playing him at all.  Lee wasn't flashy, he didn't have as powerful a throwing arm as Jefferson, but he was competent and steady and he GOT this team to 8-0.  And after all that, everything he did for the team was rewarded by indifference and humiliation.

What killed LSU was Miles' inexplicable, unearned loyalty to Jordan Jefferson, and his bizarre unwillingness to change his strategy even as it was imploding right before his eyes.  I've been screaming about Jefferson's deficiencies since last year, when Miles was doing the "rotating quarterback" bullshit with him and Lee.  He has never been a particularly good QB, and I knew that Miles' determination to stick with him was going to bite LSU sooner or later.  It finally happened in a big, big way tonight.  If I were Lee I'd be feeling pretty smug right now.

i hate feelin like a villian for just trying to help. but it is a rare kitteh who is willing to try to understand. I really hatew when they are so abjectly terrified they pee. im so sorry, dude. hope kitteh gets better soon! Explain everything to him as you do it. they kind of understand our words and for sure get a calm explaining soothing tone. it will kinda help and give you something to focus on. if you can think warm cuddly thought while you do it even better. the more apprehensive you get the more frightened your kitty can become. they take cues from you, the boss cat.

339 War, I agree. I didn't want to say much, cuz I hate people who gloat and pile on, and I am never sure how things come across online....but I wondered where the hell Lee was after awhile. When you can't get pass the 50 yardline, it's time to change some things up. And JJ is a thug.

I will say, though, that I laughed when he made that tackle after the interception. He just flat picked that hoss up and flung him down. Maybe they should have put him on D!

345 327 Here's the problem with vegans and their annoying rants. Every time some vegan starts bleating about the evils of eating meat and animal products, I get a huge jones for a big, juicy grilled medium rare steak, oozing hot grease. Or pork chops. Or an olive burger.

Posted by: nerdygirl at January 10, 2012 12:29 AM (UVGQ6)

If they drive a car with anti-freeze, take pills, eat jello, or wash with soap that isn't specifically made from vegetable oil, then they use animal products. Heck, even bread and alcohol depend on yeast. I suspect that most vegans do use animal products on a regular basis, but are too ignorant to know it.

354 350 I will be the one cooking it.  I am looking for starch out of the regulars, potatoes, regular rice and noodles. I was not impressed with koos koos.

Risotto is an advanced dish. If you're serious, make some real stock first, and use Carnaroli rice. The selection of rice is crucial.

The basic ideal of risotto is that you gradually add stock, let it incorporate, then add a little more, until it's just soft enough, which means that it still has some serious bite. At the last minute, fold in some grated parmesan, salt and pepper to taste, and serve. Get that just right, then think about variations. It's a pain to cook, there's so much stirring, but done right, it's truly awesome, and better than most restaurants, which will partially cook it in advance, so that you're not waiting 20-25 minutes for your dinner.

It would be a lot easier to master Chinese fried rice, which is faster, can be truly awesome once you get it right, and which has even more interesting variations than risotto. Yang Chow fried rice, which has, among other things, shrimp and BBQ pork, is superb. The two key tricks are to cool the rice completely on cooling racks (make it with a little less water than usual), and to cook the eggs just a little in advance, to make a soupy omelet, then add them as the very last thing. I like to use short-grain rice, but that's a bit heretical.

Posted by: The War Between the Undead States at January 10, 2012 12:59 AM

Some people fall in love with a strong arm alone, which explains why the Raiders have had so many flops with their QB draft picks

A look at Jefferson's stats over his career were mediocre even in his sophomore year, not exactly eye catching with a good team behind you.

The thug personality usually is a huge red flag even with great college QB's, but his mediocre stats with a strong team behind him tell me his career path is probably limited to being in the entourage of some NOLA rapper

However, with the strong arm, don't underestimate the stupidity of the Raiders and Redskins, who might decide to take a chance on him

I do understand the appeal from that standpoint...I happen to get a huge kick out of James Carville and Bob Beckel.

426 But in the case of Grayson, he pisses us off not because he's a "fighter", but because he's a total asshole.

Posted by: chemjeff at January 10, 2012 02:10 AM (7FadD)

I have to admit that the degree of Alan Grayson's vile sleaziness did leave me in awe.  I couldn't help but look upon his scumbaggery and applaud for it was pure and untainted with anything resembling reason or ethics.

532 Looking for both in multiple states.

Looking up in this neck of the woods? we've had quit a few get canned for dui/wife beating/comp pron lately. We have 2  lady cops on our "town" police force, but you have to deal with the 99%er's which abound.. and the high cost of just living here in tardville...

WaPo pundits predict the second place finish in New Hampshire (because first is so easy.) A lot of wish fulfillment fantasies going on.

Kathleen Parker, Jennifer Rubin, Katrina vanden Heuvel: Paul

E.J. Dionne, Eugene Robinson, Richard Cohen: Huntsman

I say Huntsman comes in fourth.

538 "What tiny percent of a the population can relate to talking about switching companies/ shopping around with the speaker uses the term "Firing people" Its right up there with Perry's dumbshit "heartless to disagree" -- with in-state tuition for long-time residents regardless of official citizen status."

Yup.  It's a shame Romney hasn't been vetted well.  He's very gaffe prone and has incredibly thin skin, so combine those two and Obama will crush him.

And he's a flip flopper who ran a state into malaise during a economic boom.  And Romneycare.
