Overnight Open Thread - Depressingest Day Edition
— Maetenloch

Well that's the common perception but research shows that presidents by and large are more healthy and youthful than their peers - even after leaving office.

Neo-neocon has a theory on why we perceive presidential aging to be faster than normal:

IÂ’ve noticed in my own life and among my friends, as well as for public figures, that visible aging doesnÂ’t progress in smooth linear fashion. It advances in fits and starts and discrete bumps.
...ThereÂ’s a group who hit the aging wall in their mid-to-late forties, going almost overnight from young to oldish. TheyÂ’re the canaries in the mine. Another bunch Â“turnÂ” quite suddenly in their late fifties, with the early sixties a time of particular peril for many.
These periods happens to coincide with the ages of many presidents while in office. I hereby submit that itÂ’s not so much the stress of officeÂ—after all, the stresses come with an awful lot of perks, tooÂ—but the age of presidents during their administrations that is accountable for some of this perception of accelerated aging in presidents on the part of the public.

Ronald Reagan was a classic example of someone who went from young to middle-aged practically overnight. That wasn't so great for his film career, but luckily for him he maintained most of his middle-age good looks for the next 30 years.

January 3rd officially The Most Depressing Day of the Year
So if you were feeling down today, cheer up - others were unhappy too.

With many returning to work for the first time in over a week with little to look forward to, today will be one of the year's most depressing days.
Experts suggest that the January blues will be at their worst today as festive cheer is displaced by having to face up to the grim realities of day-to-day life.

And tomorrow is Divorce Day so you have that to look forward to.

Idiotic Quote of the Day
[Okay this may have already been covered here before but just in case it wasn't...]

Â“The scale of Right Wing sociopolitical sabotage necessitates a Nuremberg-scale trial for all the corporate agents and treasonous capitalisto-fascist architects of our democracyÂ’s current and most pressing misery. From the blatant Republican policy doublespeak emanating from think-tank sponsored word doctors to the outright obstruction and lies expectorated by Republican congressional representatives and senators, the very concept of governance can only be considered once the culprits are removed. Driven to real madness by unadulterated greed they have embraced an ideology, the success of which hinges upon the very ruin of this nation.Â”
Â— Actor Steven Weber (from the 1990s NBC sitcom Wings) writing at the Huffington Post, October 24 (MRC Notable Quotables)

This word salad of buzz-words is typical of what you get when a insecure, not-so-educated person tries to sound like an intellectual. I suspect the only people impressed are the other poseurs.

'Pick-pocketed in Peckham'

The late Sam Francis gave us the invaluable term Â“anarcho-tyrannyÂ” to describe that state of society in which Â“we refuse to control real criminals (thatÂ’s the anarchy) so we control the innocent (thatÂ’s the tyranny).Â”
Britain is far gone in anarcho-tyranny. Among my Christmas mail were a card and letter from a relative we barely communicate with the rest of the year. To make up for her side of the delinquency, she sends us a nice chatty summary of all thatÂ’s happened to her large and bustling family in the previous twelve months.

The family mentioned then listed five different felonies committed against them during the past year which makes them positively privileged compared to what the average Briton endures.

TWA Stewardess School, 1961
Of course the problem with today's ~~stewardesses~~ flight attendants is that they're all from the class of 1978 and they hate you.

The Original iPhone, Circa 1983
The Apple Phone never got produced but for its time it looks pretty slick. Hell even now it looks better than most office phones.

Crimes By Astrological Sign
Well since it hasn't been normalized by the number of people born each month, it's pretty much bogus. On the other hand I am an Aries and I have to admit that I do have strong chaotic evil tendencies although these are generally offset by my inherent laziness and aversion to punishment.

14 The first time I read about "economic sabotage for political gain" I thought some reporter was belatedly reporting on the situation in 2008.

23 If Santorum wins Iowa, he will end up staying the race for the long haul - like Huckabee did. Santorum will never do well enough to win the nomination himself, but he will prevent Gingrich/Perry/Bachmann from consolidating the anti-Romney vote. Depressing.

Yeah, I don't get it. He was held to a much higher standard than anybody else.

But did you notice that the only people who didn't get a media anal exam were the top 3 finishers? Santorum was ignored because he was so low in the polls, Paul was ignored because he helps the MSM and Romney always escaped basically because he was uninteresting and the frontrunner.

Santorum benefited from being the last to be looked at. There was some of that with Huckabee last time. He came from out of nowhere.

Bachmann is gone. She'll probably bow out this week. Honestly, I have made my peace with the fact that the GOP doesn't want Perry. Newt? Well I've been disillusioned with him so much over the years, I didn't see his appeal to those of us who have been paying attention for the last 2 decades.

Santorum will melt in the hot lights of scrutiny. He's just a little strange.

56 Okay, putting on my pedantic hat (it's got a propellor AND a clear tinted sun visor): Aries the Ram isn't Ares the God of War. Except that the sign of Aries is governed by Mars (=Ares), so it kind of is.

Aries is identified with the Golden Fleece sought by the Argonauts. The phenomenon of precession of the equinoxes means that the spring equinox used to happen when the Sun was in Taurus, then in Aries, now in Pisces. People who believe in this sort of thing like to fiddle with the dates so that the era of Taurus (governed by Venus) corresponds to the Bronze Age (because copper and bronze are associated with Venus in astrology), then Aries (governed by Mars) gets the Iron Age (Mars = iron, duh), and the Age of Pisces corresponds to the birth of Christ.

Next up is the Age of Aquarius, when the world will be governed by mystical hippie bullshit, if the musical Hair is any indication. Fortunately we've got about seven hundred years to go in the age of Pisces.

Any questions?

57 Well, e-cigs weren't available when I quit.. so you may be right.

The point is, though, you have to want to quit. When you get to that point, cold turkey is the fastest, but most brutal, way to go. The physical addiction is gone in a week or two. The rest is social/psychological - including peer pressure. IMHO, most of the problem with quitting smoking is losing the "cool factor".

Hi, rons and ettes. Watching the "ball game". Also drying out about two pounds of homemade beef jerky, which will prove much more meaningful over the next 8 weeks or so than the outcome of the Iowa debacle. More interesting to watch the jerky dry, too.

70 Actually, if any of the candidates deserve derision it's Bachmann. She's the one who managed to force Pawlenty and then went all attack dog on Perry and Gingrich. She's probably do the same to Santorum if she managed to get beyond 6% and finally drop out of this race before she kills another conservative candidacy - including her own.

Lost about fifty pounds (not in a good way), hair went white. I recall he had heart problems. There was a photo around 2002 or so of Clinton and George HW Bush doing some charity thing and Clinton looked older than Poppy Bush did.

95 Dan, I'm so sorry for your Tootsie.

For all the M&M's who've lost loved pets lately;

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

117 On the bright side, the uber-energized right is creating this much fear: Higher-ups within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services are pressuring rank-and-file officers to rubber-stamp immigrantsÂ’ visa applications, sometimes against the officersÂ’ will, according to a Homeland Security report and internal documents exclusively obtained by The Daily. A 40-page report, drafted by the Office of Inspector General in September but not publicly released, details the immense pressure immigration service officers are under to approve visa applications quickly, sometimes while overlooking concerns about fraud, eligibility or security.

120 For Dan:

I Remember
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

She's probably do the same to Santorum if she managed to get beyond 6% and finally drop out of this race before she kills another conservative candidacy - including her own.

Posted by: Paul Zummo at January 03, 2012 10:16 PM (AcrIN)

Well, hey, she says she's gonna stay in it so Santorum has something to look forward to. She's still hoping for that VP slot by keeping the vote split for Mitt.

Had to laugh while watching Fox. What a bunch of clueless schlubs. Bill Kristol said Perry should drop out to save his dignity, then maybe someone else will get in that can take the lead from Romney. Pool little douchebag just can't stop hoping for that special someone ...........

Sure hope Paul takes it.

I'm not clear on it either. Apparently they shoot a laser beam into your ear and it's supposed to do something to the smoke center of your brain or something. Kind of like a lobotomy.

178 93 Bill Clinton was a weird outlier on the Presidential aging thing. In office he got a little heavier, a little grayer -- but once he left office, boom!

Well, since everyone else is posting their depressing day, I will too:

I sent my resume in for a tutoring job a couple weeks ago. Since this tutoring program is part of the college where I got my master's degree (graduated last month) and I was a teaching assistant for the classes that I would be tutoring for, I figured I had a pretty decent chance of getting the position. Well, after being assured that they were actually in need of tutors, I just got an email stating that they were not hiring after all - all the tutors from the previous semester were coming back. What makes this so infuriating is that this is the second time this lady has told me that she was hiring, then told me exactly the opposite after I sent my resume in. I could understand it if she hired someone else and I could understand it of she asked for a resume because she might be hiring, and I could understand it if it was just a miscommunication the first time, but being specifically told that they were hiring only to be told the exact opposite a few weeks later twice in a row is maddening. The worst thing is that this was my one good (I thought) lead in the area, and now I am almost certainly going to have to move out of state and go live with my parents again.

You vote within the first 30 minutes. A handful of people left then.

One thing I like about the caucuses: It's a chance for you to get in on the ground floor of the party. You can run for delegate (you'll probably win) to the county convention and run for other positions.

250 That first part was based on a Stephen King short story called "Quitters Inc." IIRC. The story was better than the movie, IMHO.

Usually they both suck: "Langoliers", "Dark Half", "Thinner" or are at least overrated: "Shawshank Redemption", "Carrie", "The Stand"...

283 JJS - this would be VERY unlikely to be your problem ... but... do you live anywhere that a previous owner may have installed and earthquake shut off valve on the meter? It's a little ping-pong kind of ball that sits near the meter and if the meter is jostled by an earthquake (or just bumped hard by something else) the ball will fall and occlude the gasflow. Since both hot water and furnace are on the fritz it's a thought.

So, I had a carbon monoxide detector that somehow drained its batteries really fast. One morning it woke me up, so I headed down to the basement to change the battery and noticed that while the alarm was the same as always it had numbers on it not "NOBAT".

I got my ass upstairs fast and called the fire department - yep carbon monoxide leak.

341 338 cthulhu, good thinking on gas pressure as a possible problem. I can't think of any other reason for the furnace and water heater to go out at the same time. If the water heater and the furnace are both older models they would have pilot lights. a temperary loss in the area could have precipitated the problem.

Just because we're weird that way, we repiped from the meter when we remodeled our kitchen in 2004. Only so many BTU can go through a certain diameter pipe over a certain length, and if you upgrade a furnace, a cooktop (especially a gourmet cooktop) or even a water heater, you can have issues where something'll kick in and drop the pressure for everything.

Most people will do the upgrade and not even check the capacity of the rest of the system.

345 The answer leads all the way back to 1896 when Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College changed its name to Virginia Polytechnic Institute. With the change came the necessity for writing a new cheer and a contest for such a purpose was held by the student body. Senior O.M. Stull won first prize for his "Hokie" yell (Old Hokie Cheer below) which is still used today. Later, when asked if "Hokie" had any special meaning, Stull explained the word was solely the product of his imagination and was used only as an attention-getter for his yell. It soon became a nickname for all Tech teams and for those people loyal to Tech athletics. The official university school colors - Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange - also were introduced in 1896. The colors were chosen by a committee because they made a 'unique combination' not worn elsewhere at the time. The official definition of "hokie" is "a loyal Virginia Tech Fan". The HokieBird
The bird is a "HokieBird" which has evolved from a turkey. Virginia Tech teams were once called the "gobblers"!

I listened to that video you posted, and while it is very interesting, he is making a couple of assumptions. First, from a theological point of view he is assuming that God relates to the United States in the same way as he did to ancient Israel. Ancient Israel was God's chosen nation, whereas I don't see any theological warrant for assuming that the United States, as wonderful as it is, is the new Israel, set apart and favored in the way. Second, he is treating Washington's inauguration as the starting point of the United States, instead of the Declaration or ratification of the Constitution, which seems a little like cherry-picking his evidence.

Coming up on 1 year cigarette free. Quit cold turkey jan 12 2011. Going to bars and stressful situations bring the occasional craving but i find i dont even want to be around smoke for long anymore...like in bars. I did put on 10 lbs after I quit but im working to get that off. I can smell things so much better now, and food tastes better as well. I was a pack every 2 day smoker for 20 years. If I can do it, anyone can. Think of the money you are saving at what are they now close to 4-5 dollars a pack?

Too bad the book didn't end with said woman, heeding the word of a mysterious merchant promising a whole new world of decadent pleasures for her, solving the Lament Configuration and subsequently being ripped apart by Pinhead and the Cenobites. Clive Barker may have had some issues with that, , but it would have made for a kick-ass movie with an actual message.

Hellraiser might be one of the most socially conservative horror movies ever, every person who does something even somewhat bad gets frickin destroyed. I heard the husband of the Eat, Pray, Love chick is writing his own book.

387 Here is my thoughts. Though I'm surprised Bachmann isn't dropping out now, she probably will in a week though. Dissappointed by Perry's performance. But it was his fault in the end. Santorum will melt away under scrutiny and when Gingrich does well in the next debates he will resume his status as not Romney but this time he learned his lesson and will fight Romney. Newts heavy attack barrage was really only in iowa so he still can go past NH.

My own person feeling is that from a moral standpoint, certain actions under many circumstances are not criminal at all, though one is certainly well-advised to cover ones' tracks. Much harder these days to dispose of various kinds of evidence, so one must remain calm cool and collected at all times.

418 "leaving your murder To-Do list laying around." If its not a crime of passion, or a family member you whack, the chances of getting away with it are pretty good. The solve rate for seemingly random murders is pretty low. The key is probably having enough patience to put a lot of temporal distance between you and whatever incident incited you to make the decision to whack the dude before you actually do it so that nobody would make the connection. A week probably ain't enough. A few years might be. 10 years is probably a slam dunk.

Here is my thoughts.

...and that's where I stop reading.

Were it a blog post, I'd be of like mind (please see my embrace of the genius Weber above), but to hold nearly instantaneous comments to standard English seems a tad overzealous.

I'm drunk and haven't read previous comments, so take this with a grain of unfunny salt.

Leo here. I quit the day after Obummer was elected. I was smoking like a friggin' smoke stack on election night 2008, lighting one right off another while watching those cheering fools in Chicago. I did use the nicotine gum but I didn't follow the package directions, just popped one in my mouth whenever I felt like it. That made me even more addicted to nicotine and made giving up the gum (which I finally did over Memorial Day weekend of 2009) 10 times harder than giving up the smokes. I couldn't smoke at work, but I could chew the gum all day, so I did. So was really miserable when I stopped the gum. The gum helped quite a bit (it's as expensive as smoking), but if you use it, follow the damn directions.

Bottom line is, you'll have to quit cold turkey at some point no matter what you use (although I wish the ecigs had been around in 200 .

When people realize Senator Santorum not only is no different from a big government liberal, but has no spine, they will abandon him in droves. Mitt's hair looks ridiculous and Newt is fat.

526 Bean, None of them are living outside. A lot of them were dressed semi-professionally. I assume they just show up for the hippie/communist experience and then go home and rub themselves in slow counterclockwise swirl. A couple hundred of them caused some problems on nye and the nypd broke it up as soon as it started. Tonight as I walked past the hippies I counted a couple dozen police vehicles surrounding them.

Yes, but you said Hefty bags. I am not a fan of the Hefty bag in populated areas. Coolers full of chum are a much better choice!

Altho I am not sure how familiar you are with, um, the work involved in say, cutting up two full sides of beef in to quantities small enough to, um, sell at the market. Takes a lot of work and a strong stomach. I never could be around when they were processing the hunt. Some things are best done in the woods.

559 I can't believe that violin story. I originally thought it was a fake, but I see it was authenticated. Thats fucked up. Paypall has no fucking right, do they have a god damn violin expert on hand?

That was a good violin, it has corner blocks, I can see them in the picture. Not all old violins have those, especially the crap ones. Can't tell if it was made by who the label says, but it was not a POS. I work on alot of old POS's, germany pumped them out by the truckloads in the late 19th/early 20th century with labels from every frigging builder from stradavarius to some nose picker in a back alley of france. A little suspect is the seller saying forgeries don't exist in the violin world, thats a load of crap. Every fucking thing made by these factories 100 years ago was a forgery. The damn things were a cottage industry, there were parts being made all over the place.

i just got my kitty's remains back today. They made a plaster cast of her paw print at the vets. One of the girls thought of it. i thought that was sweet. I had to ask my friend to pick her up for me. i just was havin too hard a time with it. wanted to cry in the house not at the vets.

I see your point, but too dumb would probably be mistake, as we coudln't count on her to remember who side she was working for, and plus she'd probably wander off message and take Bers with her, though I think he has said he marginally favors brunettes.

677 Hello everyone. Just recently woke up to all the breaking news. Not happy about this at all. I'm not ready to give up. This quote, as always, is apt: These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated. --- Indeed.

Posted by: smeje at January 04, 2012 03:49 AM (oif6Y) We'd guess the former, from watching this place disintegrate into inanity over the past several months. If you guys could do something about this jabbering clique that's been driving everyone else out, you might have something, but we're not getting our hopes up.

696 You're right, Dude, but lately it's become acute. Just glad to see we're not the only ones who've noticed.

in all honesty, the ONT hasn't really been the ONT in a good 5 years or so

702 I've never been in a flame battle on this site before, so thank you to s☺mej☼sephina for popping my AoS fight cherry.

It's been fun.

Snoochie boochies, sweetheart!

Alas, I've got things to do. I'm not up this late for shites and giggles after all. I shall catch you all on the morrow!

Posted by: beanervt at January 04, 2012 12:48 AM (KZLoo)

704 Well, as the jabberiest inane jabberer here, let me just say that if lurkers would quit lurking, jabberers would quit jabbering. I didn't start posting til things died down to nothing. And as far as vulgarity, I now know more about ace's poop than I ever thought possible, and that Steel panther thread was rank, too....during the day, not in the wee smas. But seriously, I will shut up if y'all will just start posting....and even if everyone else has the audacity to post, why don't you just ignore it like we do trolls?
