If SMOD hits tomorrow, I will have been proud to deliver your very last ONT. God Speed, fellow morons and moronettes.
Welcome to Nanny Bloomberg's worst nightmare: A high carb, high fat, nutrient poor ONT. Empty calories? We've got 'em!
Most of us are torn between supporting complete freedom of expression and wanting at times to censor the heck out of others. It seems that RD Brewer's post about 'Saturation Coverage' got some to thinking. Velociman shares his take, in his usual eloquent style.
My point, should I ever meander to it, is that the "free press" are no longer that thing, that entity, exposing the powerful as they exploit they helpless. Rather, they are the critical component in a fascist, corporatist criminal syndicate, allied with but one political entity, and use the power of their supposed neutrality to wage war upon those not of a like political bent.
From Stan Smith, the simplest and cleanest defense against the claims that "guns kill":
In keeping with the spirit of the holiday, today's 'Jackass of the day' award goes to Santa.
From Cracked, the Five Most Famous Musicians who are Thieving Bastards.
Here is where having a few moronettes in the open blogger rotation becomes, well, iffy. You see, between the football threads and the "brought to you by" photos, the moronettes around here often get shorted in the eye candy department, and I think it's high-time that we rectify that situation.
After a bit of digging around I stumbled upon this but it left me with a bit of a tilted head. Hence, two of my personal favorites.
Now, now. Don't get your feelings tied up in knots, fellas. I have a little something for you morons as well.
See? I am a benevolent host.
And now, in closing....

After 2001, when it became clear that not only did the Democrats enable Al Qaeda through their feckless leadership, but had specifically refused to take in Osama, repeatedly, when offered on a silver plate things look bad for the Democrats.
We were on the verge of seeing the liberal left implode. Nancy Pelosi was (secretly) signing on to the Bush foreign policy.
The State Media gave them succor and a new platform. They fought tooth and nail to suppress the Clinton legacy (as they do to this day with the "redlining" scare that would become the mortgage meltdown).

Plan B should have been to leave the top two rates unchanged and cut the rest two points.
That would have passed the house complete GOP support and you would have gotten a fair amount of Donks.
You send it to the Senate and let the President explain why punishing the wealthy is more important than helping the middle class!

So today I woke to the sound of chain saws. I looked out the window and saw that my neighbor was having some tree work done in the backyard (All the houses on my side of the street have wooded back lots). They had a medium sized oak tree down, and had one guy roped off taking down some fairly thick branches that had been overhanging neighbor’s house. I got a cup of coffee and wandered over, noticing that the trunks had already been trimmed and a couple of the workers were busy dragging the branches down to the chipper behind their truck. “Y’know”, I said to the foreman. “If y’all don’t have anything planned for the logs from the trunk, and you cut ‘em into 16-20” lengths, you can dump them right over my fence here instead of hauling them away.” He grinned and said “That’ll save us some work.” A couple hours later they left, and I went back into the woods to see what they’d left. I’ve got a nice pile of oak logs, all cut to reasonable fireplace length. I’ll stack them to season this weekend, next year when I split them, I’ll probably be left with something just under a ½ cord of firewood. Plus I saved those guys some work. Win/win I’d say.

It is the easiest way to become successful in the music industry. Speaking of which, why are the Republicans still defending the music/movie industry?
I would have loved to see the R's offer a radical change to copyright just before the 2012 election.
But...that would have been smart...and Romney and co...aren't. At least politically.

Yeah that would have been ideal. But it wasn't. So now instead of getting 99.8% of the Bush tax cuts and a political win we will end up with 95% of the Bush tax cuts and a political beat down like you've never seen before.
But yeah. let's be trrruuuu cons and vote on principle. I know, let's also not vote for Romney because he isn't 1000% conservative on every issue. That'll show em!!!

It is simply unprincipled to raise taxes for no other reason than our enemies have chosen to Alinsky the wealthy and to buy into the class warfare rhetoric.
We do not have classes in this country the term middle class is progressive invention, we are not to be defined by the fucking IRS code.
Our opponents have set up a dichotemy where the rich and poor are in constant battle with one another where one can't get ahead without pushing the other down.
We are not the party of taxation and to hell with anyone who thinks it's good strategy to raise taxes on the rich.

The problem with Republicans is that the comfortable few love playing to the left so they can get some of that sweet exemption action and keep on making money. It's kind of like owning a baseball team. If you can keep 'em playing at about .500 baseball, you'll make far more money in the long run.

What place and era?
I would like to do an 1850-60s era one myself someday, but since there is virtually nothing out there for that era except the rather oversize 1950s-vintage mantua stuff and some rather expensive car kits (half of which are USMRR civil war cars), I have had to discover the nearly lost art of scratchbuilding with wood and cardboard.

Central PA, circa 1950, purely a historical revision. I'm planning on a bit of the PRR in Duncannon connecting with the Susquehanna River and Western and a bit of New Bloomfield where the SRandW interchanged with the narrow gauge Newport and Sherman's Valley; in my little N scale world the NSVRR made it through to the Path Valley and 1) struck rich veins of ore and 2) connected with the EBT farther down the valley. That way I can justify the EBT Mikados on the narrow gauge portion, delivering coal to the ore processing plant in New Bloomfield.

All by hand - I have never used a mechanical splitter. This last fall my family was cutting down a tree or two every weekend or so - first time in years that my parents have had the time to deal with the woodlot out back, and there was a lot of thinning to be done - and I would just split the bigger trunk sections the same morning the tree came down. 6-12" cherry, locust, butternut, etc, will split with a blow or two with the maul, if done quickly.

For our fifth wedding anniversary, we're going to our favorite restaurant in Dallas...The Grape.
Fifth anniversary...fifth anniversary dinner there. Yeah we're hooked. Plus the owner/exec. chef rocks and the chef de cuisine was just on Top Chef.
Tomorrow, my mom (who is here for another week) and I are making three kinds of cookies (chocolate chip, sugar and lemon white chocolate biscotti), peanut butter chocolate fudge and peanut brittle. Saturday is pierogi making day. Sunday my dad is going to attempt no-knead bread.
Christmas is French onion soup, fresh bread, beef wellington and green beans. Complete with a chocolate cake with raspberry curd filling and white chocolate ganache filling.
I just wanted to foodbrag...right now, besides my family, food is the enjoyment of my life. The outside world sucks.

I don't have much experience with oak, since it doesn't grow in our back .40 and most of the wood I end up splitting is from our own property. I vaguely recall that I ran across some wood that did not conform to the "Split ASAP" rule - it could have been oak.
Of course, not splitting it right away can have some other benefits - I spent a lot of yesterday and today carving out a bowl from some cherry that I never got around to splitting last October.

Eddie George played for Ohio State in the 1990's, won the Heisman in his Junior Year (I think), and then played 8 years for the Tennessee Flaming Thumbtacks. I think he piled up about +8000 yards in his career at Tennessee.
A friend of mine met him once in Columbus and he is a genuinely nice guy, very soft spoken and friendly.

[26] And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
[27] To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
[28] And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
[29] And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
[30] And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
[31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
[32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
[33] And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

With all the “War on Womyn” rhetoric being thrown hypocritically about by the misogynists and abusers of the left, perhaps one should take pause and consider if there is another, more real war going on: The war on boys.
A warning to those who think SoCons are the ruin of the Republican party : Doctor James Dobson put out a book and a study on just that subject about a dozen years ago.
I protested the "take your daughter to work day" by taking my son to work instead. I explained my reasons to the girls and they were fine with it. Probaby helped mold their rebellious little hearts.

Steamy Friday afternoon here in the Far North of New Zealand. Well into the 21st and so far absolutely zippo to report. I heralded the dawn much as I do everyday by contemplation towards the rising sun. Would today be any different? Would all be revealed? Would I know my truth, my destiny? ... I so wanted it to be true. I so wanted a shift from the soul-less dirge we all have to face on a daily basis, a glimpse at a life devoid of mediocrity to one filled with hope and collaborative potential but alas...it seems Dec 21st is just another day. ---- poster "Preecey" on the Galactic Channelings Community forum

As nothing jarred me or moved me to another sphere of comprehension...I walked the dog, bought a coffee, read the paper...noted all those comments about idiots expecting the end of the world and read an interview with some Mayan elder who said the Mayan Calendar was all a load of baloney and the recession is killing his trade in hand-crafted wooden instruments!
I loafed around a bit and decided the lawns needing cutting so I've dutifully spruced up the garden...don't want the place looking messy if the 'Federation' turn up for a sandwich later on.
As its mid afternoon now, I might go and buy an ice cream and check up on those last minute Xmas presents I should've bought...obviously need to step up a gear now I know Xmas is still a goer in 2012.
Of course, I may well be bowled over by a stream of photon-gorged consciousness later on tonight, when all you Northern Hemisphere types are scanning the heavens but somehow I doubt it.

This isn't, and it's free. grab it, don't grab it....don't care.

Yeah- I like that thought, just wasn't sure how to time the actual lighting up. I usually get about 40 minutes out of a good one, so if I light up too soon, I'll be empty handed at the moment of poof-dom. Maybe just keep it unlit til the fireball approaches.

Yeeeeeesh!!! The things I deal with freak a lot of people out, but I winced hard at that.
I'm extremely phobic about being punctured. So, naturally, I do things to avoid it -- like having dental crowns done without anesthetic. Or (last month) a colonoscopy. It's not that I'm insensitive to pain or anything, it's just that having a needle in my arm is like having a live rattlesnake sitting on my chest -- it screams "Danger! Danger!" to the point where jumping out a window to escape it seems like a good plan. And, BTW, I'm 50 years old and have regular blood tests -- the lab tech at my doctors office is in the running for sainthood.
But "anesthesia did not work...." Oooooh.

I was supposed to have twilight anesthesia, so that I wouldn't really care about what was going on, as well as local for the incisions. The twilight did nothing, and the local did nothing. I was having a tumor removed, so they had to pin my kidney, liver and lung to reach it, plus crack my ribs to get to my kidney.
Yep, I was crying and apparently cracked a tooth from gritting my teeth. God love my doc-he was really sorry.

What a nightmare. I've dealt with immediate pain as a choice, but I don't know how I could face up to the horror involved while what happened to you was going on -- I go nuts for just a two-tube blood draw (the lab tech commented one time, "I didn't know anyone could not breathe for that long.") I'm glad you're bouncing back from it so quickly.
The funny thing is that I remember reading a while back that modern surgery doesn't actually "hurt" that much (evidently, measured nerve impulses from a pinched foot in a bad shoe are much more powerful than a scalpel properly used on the abdomen, and many internal organs do not have pain sensors at all) -- it's the unexpectedness of it that makes it seem especially bad.

She does ONE Obama appearance, or a PETA commercial, and she's DEAD TO ME. I already have enough problem with her uncle, the light-bulb guy.

He's had an MRI and CT scan. They decided to give him a colostomy today so anministered the crap you have to drink which makes you shit your brains out. Surprise, surprise he started bleeding rectally again and is back in intensive care. At last count he has had 4 units of blood but that was before the latest incident.

There is also the matter of stability. The higher the earner the lower the stability tends to be. If you're some kind of performer or producer of creative works you can have a hot streak for a few years and then never earn better than a fraction of those years for the rest of your life.
Think about how many actors and singers who seemed on top of the world for a few years and never did much of anything after that big series ended or the big album dropped off the charts. The smart ones can make that hot streak the basis for staying comfortable the rest of their live if they don't go nuts with the extravagances.
Also, there is a huge difference between having a net worth of over a $Million and earning that annually. Taxes are concerned primarily with the ongoing earning in the form of income and capital gains. Property tends to be more of a local tax issue. It looks like CA is gearing up to drive that point home and many long time resident to other states.

It helped to keep thinking, "this costs extra in SF."
Seriously, though, my lab tech told me that she'd done it without anesthetic before and thought that it might be the better option considering my weirdisms -- and it really wasn't that bad (not that I'd pay extra for it) -- the only problem came when rounding the final corner at the upper right, and they nipped off five biopsies along the way that I didn't even notice.

Chemjeff, here's my post from a couple days ago:
.
I received a call from one of my renters. Aguy I let live at my warehouse was passed out on the floor, inside the door. He said he looked like he was beat up. I went to the warehouse and Larry was still on the floor with a blanket. He had blood on his face. He came around a bit and I asked what happened. Woozy, he answered he didn't know. He said he had vomited and crapped blood the night before. I looked in the bathroom and there was a pool of blood on the floor. He tried to stand but quickly sank back to the floor. He seemed to have a temperature and was shaking violently. I called 911 and they took him to the emergency. They rehydrated him and he is currently in ICU. Tests will begin tomorrow to see where the GI bleed is and why. I may have saved a mans life today.

And, BTW, I was talking about a "colonoscopy" -- where you get a camera tube wedged up to your appendix via the scenic route. A "colostomy" is the removal of a large part of your colon, which leaves you holding a bag for the rest of your life and is quite a different critter.

The same guys also think the Let It Burn bunch are quitters because "the left organizes, so should we"
Well, "we" did organize, and it resulted in the MSM immediately and constantly sliming the Tea Party as crazy, stupid, and dangerous so that most of the GOP keeps them at arms length
Organizing is different for the Left because they have a media eager to promote and protect them, Hollywood making them heroes, and academia exalting them. Add to that corporations which are covertly sympathetic to their goals, and the acquiescence of a supposed opposition party that shrinks whenever criticized
I'm not dying on any hill for people who don't want to win

Yeah, I got hooked back in the good old days of the '90's, listening to Art Bell via my big-dish satellite system. I had a radio receiver and got him via a Nashville FM talker--that was uplinked as the Predators NHL radio network and also carried Dave Ramsey before he hit the big time.
Ah, memories. I miss my big dishes. (I had two, a 10' and a 7.5'. The 10 was in my back yard with a polar mount and the 7.5 was on a steel sawhorse mount on top of my garage roof. I was a bit crazy back then. Haven't gotten much better, I'm afraid.)

Per capita income in New York City--highest COL in the US--is less than $25k/year. Almost nobody anywhere makes more than $250k. People think it's "rich" because it's an extreme statistical example of "rich"-ness (qua income).

Richard Fernandez (Belmont Club) may be signing off:
With only scant hours until the collision with Nibiru we must face the fact that this may be the Belmont ClubÂ’s last post. Reluctantly I must turn to the subject of composing a final missive. ItÂ’s an extraordinarily difficult problem, not with regards with what to say but who to send it to. Wild Bill Hickok probably said all there was to say in a poignant last letter to his wife written shortly before drawing that fatal card hand in the Deadwood saloon.
It's been a slice, everyone.

It has absolutely nothing to do with closing the deficit. I don't know why the GOP, especially Boehner, is afraid to make a speech declaring such. It's purely class warfare, playing for suckers a legion of voters who are sure it's somebody else fault they're poor. They've made an art of appealing to the worst instincts in humanity. Thus freedom dies at the hands of the schemers who claim they want everybody to be equal and they just need to be given more power than anyone else to get there.
Romney desperately needed to deliver a denunciation of this during the campaign. Would it have offended some people? Hopefully, because several million Americans are in dire need of offending. This speech still needs to be made in a form that can be repeated on C-SPAN and played on YouTube perpetually. There needs to be a declaration of principles that calls the other side on their bullshit. The Left has declared war repeatedly. It's time to stop treating them as honorable opponents. Imagine how WWII would have gone if our military commanders regarded having the Nazis conquer the Western World as a mildly bad thing that wouldn't really change the status quo for them.
We need to take out some ads on prime time TV to drive home that the wealth held by the top 10% of earners in this country, who are already paying for most of everything the government does, is dwarfed by the spending for a single recent year. You could impose a 95% tax rate for everything over $5 million and it wouldn't make much difference in the deficit but would discourage a lot of high earners from bothering to work more than they needed to reach that bracket.
But they won't do it. That would require real principles on their part and actually practicing what they claim to believe. So let it burn. There is going to be suffering regardless but at least make the perpetrators own it.

"Old joke:
3 long time friends are burying the fourth member of their group. Each is saying goodbye in a meaningful way.
The first takes out a $100 bill, places it in the casket and wishes his friend happy trails.
The second takes out a $100 bill, places it in the casket and prays for his admission to heaven.
The third snaps up the two $100 bills, places a check for $300 in the casket and invites the departed to do lunch. Guess which one is the lawyer."

Where did this notion arise, that the "misunderstanding" of millionaire taxes are based on whether you earn a million per year, or are worth a million, total? It seems to have shown up just a few hours ago. Man, that is a masterful piece of brain-trimming. Like so many leftist arguments, it's an old joke from the sixties. I can remember asking my dad if we were thousandaires. When he got married, he barely was.
I'm a millionaire (b). Ain't no big thing, a lot of us here must be. Hold a job, buy some property, pay it off, stay married. Yet at the peak of the two incomes here, with some investment payoffs, we were never above the top two per cent of income of this part of a state that New Yorkers see as poor (and we are not in the rich part of it). On paper, in retirement, I probably could put in for food stamps or something.
Nobody could possibly think that the campaign tax promises and targets were set for people with a net worth of a million. Could they? This is some kind of double-speaking newthink, or vice versa. Every once in a while, leftists have a sort of contest to see how much convolution of logic they're willing to commit to. Sort of an auto da fe. Because nobody expects the Castilian separatists.

The thing you have to understand is that anyone who retires will have to have a nest egg. If it's been bargained with public-sector unions it doesn't count, but if you have it in a private 401K, it does. If you're 60 years old and need $33K to live for 30 more years, that's a million -- so in a ZIRP world, you'd have to be a millionaire.
This is all about raiding those who earn and save in the real world to benefit people in the political world, current and retired. And you'd best believe that the political world votes the political-world party line.

That really doesn't sound good -- so I have to pray for Tini to have less pain and more love than she would otherwise have (which isn't a lot of heavy lifting), and to be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.

Only thing I remember was Crenna's character who discovers the killer comet sets out to the Arizona desert to plant instruments to record the impact and comes across a party of Pimas that had broken down. He radios his assistant for more help, camping out with them and is promised some rescue copters which, surprise surprise, never come.
The whole thing is on youtube if anyone wants some doom. I watched part 4 (each segment is 35 mins). The comet gets serious just before 21:12 (minutes/seconds- hehe!) with impact at 22:19.
But a classic line destined to reappear in any decent sci-fi/disaster flick is uttered at 16:18 (Let it Burn) when the Governors plane takes off with out clearance and appears to get flipped over by a big jets turbulence.
I did watch some of part 2 as well. NASA sends two warheads to nuke the comet which of course fails as some guy explodes them by remote. Pretty corny but the comet must go on! Thing I'd like to know is if the technology was available much like a more advanced version of the radio proximity fuse, that NASA could have had by the 1970s to detonate any kind of bomb in advance of a fast moving comet. I thought that even in 1978 not too many people knew about the handy little proximity fuses which helped the Allies greatly during WW2. They were first used in combat helping infantry at the Battle of the Bulge. And where was Richard Crenna? He was there serving as a radio man. Fun fact.

Can I go back to sleep?
Mid-West and North-East looks to be getting hammered with snow. Just a little cold here in TN. Hope you guys come up with something good today. Should be a major goof-off day at work today.
