Overnight Open Thread (3-22-2012)
— Maetenloch

The Geography of Government Benefits

Sadly these days we all suckle off the Federal teat to some degree or other:

The share of Americans' income that comes from government benefit programs, like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, more than doubled over the last four decades, rising from 8 percent in 1969 to 18 percent in 2009.

But the percentage of our income that comes from the government does vary quite a bit by state and county as this interactive map from the NYT shows. Here it lumps together all checks coming from the government but you can also break it down by individual benefits.

The average is around 18% but in some counties the percentage rises to nearly 50%. And note that this is just income - pork and federal grants to state and local government aren't included.

With #OWS It's Always About The Poop

Police said that on evening of March 14, a number of Occupy demonstrators dragged large quantities of human urine and feces in containers to an open-air plaza before pouring the waste down a flight of stairs.

Police said Amos is the registered owner of the van. He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon after a stun gun was recovered inside his vehicle.

...Amos also faces charges including unlawful possession of a noxious matter and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

Wait - it's illegal to have a van full of piss and poop? Okay morons take note of this when you're emptying out the shitter or out marking your territory.

Another Narcissistic Lie of Obama's

Obama is continually whining about how "he inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression". But that's just not so.

Reagan had it far worse when he took office in 1981. But he actually did things to help the economy and didn't look for pity.

In his superb biography of the Reagan presidency The Age of Reagan, Steven Hayward reminds us that the nation's economic conditions "began slipping toward near panic in the two weeks after the 1980 election."

Prime interest rates were around 19 percent. Inflation was in double digits, with forecasts that food prices would rise by more than 10 percent in the coming year and energy prices by 20-40 percent. Unemployment stood at 7.4 percent (it would eventually rise to 10.8 percent in the early years of Reagan's presidency). Housing starts were in free fall. And auto sales were down 10 percent from the previous year.

Samsung Introduces the 'Big Brother' Television

Uh WTF was Samsung thinking when they designed this?

Straight out of 1984, Samsung has unveiled a new series of televisions with integrated cameras and microphones, complete with facial and voice recognition software. Best of all, there appears to be no physical indication of the mic and camera's status, so consumers have no way of knowing when they're being monitored, or by whom... and if you don't find the idea of a TV that watches you creepy enough, apparently Samsung's Terms of Service include a clause allowing third-party apps to make use of the monitoring system, and use the data gathered for their own purposes.

How To Use Usenet

It may be old-skool but it's not dead - and in fact has more traffic than ever. And there's a good reason for that:

Whatever your download activities may be there's no arguing that Usenet is consistently faster and more secure than BitTorrent for sharing files. With the right software and services there's no chance of anyone listening in and your download rates will be as fast as your Internet connection can handle.

Yet Another Reason to Hate on TPM

Even the light saber battles were poorly done.

Gollum's Riddles

Can you solve them? And have you ever noticed that raykon sounds a lot like Gollum?

The thing all things devours; Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws Iron, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays King, ruins town, and beats high mountain down.
Alive without breath, as cold as death; Never thirsty, ever drinking, all in mail never clinking.
It cannot be seen, it cannot be felt. Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, and empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after. Ends life, kills laughter.
A box without hinges, key or lid. Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

Push-Up Bras Boost Your Bust And Bust Out Your Best

It is no mystery that men are given a boost by the effects a push-up bra has on the cleavage.

But what is more surprising is the effect a boosted cleavage can have on the woman herself.

...Professor Beattie and his team analysed the three key micro-behaviours associated with confidence and observed their frequency within the recordings.

Smiling - which represents positive emotion and signals confidence increased dramatically by 73 per cent when the women were wearing a push up bra.

Averting gaze and breaking eye contact - normally associated with low confidence - decreased by 41 per cent.

...Professor of Psychology at The University of Manchester Geoff Beattie called the results 'striking' and 'uplifting'.

54 " Social Security isn't welfare?" Well technically no. Social Security is more of a ponzi scheme really - where new investors end up paying off the old investors and most of the money is siphoned off by the people that manage the money. If your Bernie Madoff and you do this you go to prison for the rest of your life. If your Congress you get re-elected. Funny how that works.

I would bet that a lot of those darkly colored counties shown on the map are actually rather thinly populated.  One of the poorest counties in Ohio, Adams county, where I have family relations, has a lower population than the town that I live in that is a suburb of Columbus.

Especially in northern Michigan and northern Maine.  In total numbers, there are probably more people on some kind of government assistance in NY City, but there are 8 or 9 million people in the 5 burroughs of NYC.  There might not be 50,000 people in all those northern counties of Michigan or Maine.

68 On the Martin killing case: Y'all need to remember: Mr Zim 's case is now before a GRAND JURY, which is hearing a presentation from a prosecutor on the facts of the case. The grand jury will decide WHETHER OR NOT Zim is actually charged with a crime; and if so, what charge he will face. This is actually a fairly common alternative here in FL, esp for very serious [potential] charges, and marginal evidence. The decision is in the hands of "the good wise citizens of our county," and who can challenge the wisdom of "the people" once they decide? Takes all the pressure off the Prosecutor. People say "he's off scot-free!!" Are they nuts?Zim's fate is in the hands of at least 1 jury...If the grand jury indicts him, then he's on the hook unless a judge [we have a special self-defense hearing here in FL] or a trial jury acquit him. And even THEN he has to hope it pushes past the tenure of the corrupt Holder regime...and even THEN it is all too likely that a typically cowardly Romney regime wd cave in to the mob and file bogus Fed charges. So Mr. Zim is FAR from outta the woods, I figure he's got at least 4 bullets to dodge...and that's just the criminal court...

69 I suppose it is Truman. Just trying to differentiate between various degrees, I guess. I think everyone who lives on our road in Arkansas is on some sort of govt benefit of sorts, mostly retirees.

I don't really begrudge the retirees their money, (though I recognize the system is going to need revamping and am happy to give mine up for the greater good going forward)

Nor do I begrudge the quadriplegic vet who lives up the road from us his Disablity check, nor my 88 year old great aunt who is living on her $400 a month WWII widow's benefit.

I just meant it's not ALL welfare queen types who never worked a day in their lives.

71 I need you guys to write to Obama for me.

Twice in the last 10 days or so I've found an American penny on the ground that I've picked up to save because I'm cheap thrifty and used to play a scratch-n-win lottery ticket with the "lucky" found money and I've lost both times. I didn't even get the break-even 'free ticket' sop. So I think Obama owes me $8 Cdn (that's the same as $8 US now courtesy of the SCOAMF) because Obama's so effed-up your economy that lucky pennies are now devalued to unlucky because of him.

Thank you for your time.

I don't make that much money, I'm certainly not one of the dreaded "rich". And yet over half of what I make is confiscated from me and given to someone else. The harder I work, the more they confiscate.

I actually came home early from work today - they were having server problems so my entire section was down pretty much all afternoon, they kicked us all out about an hour or so after lunch. No point in paying all of us to be there if we couldn't do anything I suppose. On the personal front Hummingbird came down this evening, she and my youngest have been getting to know one another and they finished up the "girl talk" phase I guess. I warned Hummingbird she was in for the Spanish inquisition but she didn't seem to mind.

I guess what chaps my ass is when the talking heads on TV are always going off on the "top 1% pay most of the taxes" argument. It's an idiotic argument on it's face. Yes, they do pay the highest dollar amount in income taxes - but the biggest chunk of what is paid in taxes is not income taxes. Most people just don't get that everytime you buy anything anywhere, your paying taxes. Not just the little bite of sales tax they add on - everything you buy part of what your paying for is someone else's tax bill. If most people in this country had any idea of the truth of that, you could forget all this class warfare BS - their would be a huge outcry and most of Congress on both sides of the aisle would be out on their collective asses. As it is all you see even on Fox it seems and from most "conservative" commentators is this idiotic meme that does nothing to counter the liberal fantasy land argument about class warfare. So yes, pisses me off at times.. lol

We do seem to be on the verge of a serious cultural fracturing between those who will and those who won't.  As our buddies Gabe and Monty frequently (or used to, at least regarding the latter) have pointed out, money that can't be paid out will not be.  Those who value work as a good in and of itself are dwindling in numbers, while those who would live off the workers are increasing.  The system, as it exists, will not hold much longer.  What comes after is a mystery, except that it will not be easy, nor pretty.

Posted by: StPatrick_TN at March 22, 2012 07:09 PM (lJJMb)

110 On the Martin killing case: Y'all need to remember: Mr Zim 's case is now before a GRAND JURY, which is hearing a presentation from a prosecutor on the facts of the case. The grand jury will decide WHETHER OR NOT Zim is actually charged with a crime; and if so, what charge he will face. This is actually a fairly common alternative here in FL, esp for very serious [potential] charges, and marginal evidence. The decision is in the hands of "the good wise citizens of our county," and who can challenge the wisdom of "the people" once they decide? Takes all the pressure off the Prosecutor. People say "he's off scot-free!!" Are they nuts?Zim's fate is in the hands of at least 1 jury...If the grand jury indicts him, then he's on the hook unless a judge [we have a special self-defense hearing here in FL] or a trial jury acquit him. And even THEN he has to hope it pushes past the tenure of the corrupt Holder regime...and even THEN it is all too likely that a typically cowardly Romney regime wd cave in to the mob and file bogus Fed charges. So Mr. Zim is FAR from outta the woods, I figure he's got at least 4 bullets to dodge...and that's just the criminal court...

Speaking as a carry permit holder, I'm not ready to rally around Zimmerman.  If more facts come out through the judicial process, I may change that stance, but it sure looks like he chased down an unarmed kid and shot him, and I haven't seen an account of a solid investigation at the scene that would discount that (of course, since there wasn't a solid investigation at the scene, evidence exonerating Zimmerman is probably lost as well).  I could give a rip what words he said in the process of the altercation, in spite of the Feds' focus on the audio.  My only hope is that justice is served independent of the emotional, racial, or political causes and groups that are so invested in the case.

It's more conveluted than that.  Oldest daughter is signing a Contemporary Christian song for the Fine Arts festival for our denomination.  She was cruising YouTube to see if they had any examples and happened across the channel of Captainvalor who signs songs by Jonathan Coulton, the guy who wrote the Portal end song.  When my daughter starts doing independent research I want to encourage that, so the game is her reward (as soon as she turns in her paper on Coulton and his songs that I assigned her  )

No dog eats bananas. They think they want to. So you break off a little piece for your dog.

The dog accepts it, eagerly, then gets this really peculiar look on its little doggy face, swallows bravely, then (not in English, obviously, but all dog owners know what I mean) says, "No, not that! The other thing your eating that smells so good!"

The point I tried to make is that if the man broke the law, justice should be served.  The usual suspects will get all exercised about the semi-racial aspect (I say semi as he's only half caucasian, but that is easily ignored in favor of the narrative), but that should be immaterial.  A man was shot, another man pulled the trigger.  Independent of all the clamoring and outrage, the breast-beating and rending of clothes, was it a clean shoot, or is Zimmerman due some time for his actions?  Based on what reporting there has been, it certainly appears he did far more than stand his ground.  The grand jury will have to decide whether or not that was actually the case, and I hope they do it based on factual evidence, and not emotion or other community pressures.  As far as all the other outrages you mention, they shouldn't matter in the slightest in this case.  They may in fact be outrageous, and under-reported, etc., but they should not have any bearing in the proceedings of Zimmerman's case.

196 " I am going to reserve judgement on the kid getting shot in Florida till it is fully vetted." I'm with you on that one Ohio Dan - just too many stories like this one where the media has a vested interest and as a result facts are buried or overlooked. I found it interesting to note that the local police declined to arrest the man - which would indicate to me that apparently they felt there was not enough evidence to sustain any sort of charge. My guess is the truth of it lies somewhere in the middle, the man is neither the hero that some sources are trying to make him out to be nor is he the villain that other sources are attempting to portray. But for now I'm happy to reserve judgement and wait for at least most of the facts to come to light.

No his toenails are trimmed. He was afraid of the tile floor when we got him as a puppy. Our old house had a doggy door from the garage to the kitchen, and he would put his head through the door and whine because it was a big kitchen that was tiled, he would not come through for nothing.

One of the issues at hand is that the police didn't screen Zimmerman for drugs or alcohol, which seems to be a sticking point for the commentariat on many of the carry / Pro-2A forums.  The other thing which is coming up is that the detective sent to the scene was from narcotics, as opposed to homicide.  Not being a cop, I cannot evaluate the significance of that, but certainly nationally, 2A activists don't seem too happy about that.  There is a fear among the pro-gun activists, especially carry permit advocates, that they will be painted with the "vigilante" brush should Zimmerman go down.  I share that apprehension, but I'd prefer to be painted as some kind of militia nutjob because I own and carry a gun (it wouldn't be the first time, after all, even though I've never met any of those weirdos) than see an innocent man railroaded in service to public attitudes and a need for racial piety.  If he's innocent, he should walk.  If evidence says otherwise, he should pay.  Here's hoping blind justice still exists somewhere, yes?

238 Good evening.

So all I gathered from that Star Wars video is that choreographed fight scenes are choreographed.  Shocka!

Actually that's a problem with most fight scenes in most films these day.  When you want to see a fight that looks raw, brutal and that looks like it hurts you get a lot of whirly twirly dance moves when it would be more satisfying to see one guy punch another guy hard in the face.

Don't get me wrong, choreographed karate moves can have their place, but it seems it has been the dominant trend for way too long. 

And wire-fu.  Man, I freakin' hate wire-fu.

Che and the bots aren't eating in the cafeteria anymore. I actually came home early from work today - they were having server problems so my entire section was down pretty much all afternoon, they kicked us all out about an hour or so after lunch. No point in paying all of us to be there if we couldn't do anything I suppose. On the personal front Hummingbird came down this evening, she and my youngest have been getting to know one another and they finished up the "girl talk" phase I guess. I warned Hummingbird she was in for the Spanish inquisition but she didn't seem to mind. Posted by: StuckOnStupid at March 22, 2012 11:02 PM (R5yLq) Gotta say, SoS. You rock.

And even they were courteous about their banditry.

There were a crowd of people in that courtroom when the ticket was thrown out. I'm hoping someone told the HPD that that stunt was stupid and not to pull it again.

The green ones are vaguely like a dill pickle, but salty/tangy instead of sweet/tangy.

The black ones have a very mild flavor.

327 Shrimp, have some olives!!!  The green ones are pretty cool, sharp and tangy and salty, and they come with pimiento or garlic or other kinds of stuff.  And the black ones are really good.  Plus, with no stuffings, you can put them on your fingertips and play odd but satisfying games with them.  It's all good. 

Hollowpoint nailed it, though, makes me want a good old-fashioned martini (gin, NOT stoopid vodka).

See, I don't think so, because it makes it perfectly clear at the beginning that Billy Ray is not your ordinary run of the mill bum. He has brains and really wants to get ahead, but he doesn't want to work and the point is that the rich farts don't really WORK work, they just sit around and make their big money get bigger.

340 You ever watch them harvest olives? It is a hoot to watch.

First you spread a big tarp around the base of the olive tree. Then a guy drives a specialized thing looks like an all terrain vehicle, only it has a tool on it that grasps the trunk of the tree. Then they make it vibrate like crazy and all of the olives fall down on to the tarp.

I could watch it all day. OK, maybe for like a half an hour or so.

351 I had the best fucking dinner tonight. A family friend came over, picked some collard greens from our garden, and cooked them up with some turkey. Threw a little vinegar on it all, with a side of pasta and tomato sauce. Holy crap. That was good. Brought back memories of my grandmother's cooking. Totally fed my soul. And then I got to be a relationship councilor for the friend. For whatever reason, all of my wife's friends think I'm some awesome husband-like creature, and I must have all the secrets to successful relationships. How the fuck I ever managed to gain that reputation is really beyond me. I think I'm the biggest asshole in the world. But, whatever. Ended up being a great evening. Hoping I haven't damaged her relationship-fu too much. :-) So that was my evening. Sounds like, between the elevator farts and non-lightning proof rain gear, all y'all have been immersed in thrills and excitement.

355 Extra virgin olive oil is expensive, and really isn't necessary for most cooking, heat'll warp the flavor anyway. My balkan family and their friends would get these huge metal cans of olive pomace oil for everyday cooking, and for their crankcases for all I know; not gourmet-approved but certainly economical.

359 I'm heading out, but just wanted to mention to JJS - when you try an olive make sure you know if it has been pitted or not.  I like green olives and the purplish kalamata olives moreso than black olives which are different.  Don't try canned olives (sometimes black olives are canned). 

There's a Whole Foods-like store near me that has a fresh olive bar, with all kinds of olives and olive mixes, very fun to try different kinds if you like them.  Hope you enjoy your tasting.  Night, all.

372 I was stationed in Greece for a bit.  We were in the middle of noplace outside of Alexandropolis.  We were warned not to cut down any olive trees because even the small ones could be hundreds of years old.  On cold night, we were freezing our asses off and went to find a dead tree.  We found one and after chopping on it for a bit, to no avail, threw a chain around it and yanked it out of the ground with a jeep.  We dragged it back to our campsight and tried to chop it in half.  I swear, instead of a satisfying chunk when the ax hit it , it went clink.  After wailing on it for a bit and the ax skipping off and cutting most of the way through my boot we opted to burn it in half with smaller sticks.  The crap doesn't burn well.  It was still in one piece in the morning.

392 "If so, then how did other planets without life (such as Jupiter and Saturn) get hydrocarbons like methane (which is CH4)? "

Mainly Saturn and the ice giants past Saturn. Anyway they are volatile-heavy because they are very cold, and the free oxygen long ago got caught into CO2. They don't create methane so much as still have the methane they had from the start of the Solar System.

Water is a rock around Titan and the rain is ethane. I remember reading that as a child and thinking, good lord, that's cold

417 They don't create methane so much as still have the methane they had from the start of the Solar System.

Thank you for your thoughtful answer.  But that really only backs the question up another step.  If true, then where did that methane come from?

It seems highly implausible that we've been extracting 40-70 million barrels PER DAY for years now, and we're still recovering former zooplankton and algae that's been turned into petroleum - I mean, how many fucking dinosaurs could there have been to make all this fossil fuel, and what, they all died in big piles under what is now Saudi Arabia?

My understanding is that the abiotic theory of production isn't accepted not because it's been disproven but rather because it hasn't been successfully used to predict reserve locations.  What is the real evidence against this theory?

430 Let's clear up a few things.

1. SS (FICA)is not a ponzi scheme. A ponzi scheme entails enticing INVESTORS with promises of a return on investment larger than most other investments can supply. The investor may or may not receive any returns on their investment and they are "able" to request the return of their investment subject to penalties and fees. (of course the good ponzi manager is usually able to divert these requests and an excellent one will actually get the "mark" to invest more.)

2. FICA is a TAX. Regardless what hundreds of politicians have told citizens since it's inception, it's nothing more than a tax. That anyone believe(s/d) what a politician said or says, says more about the gullibility of the taxpayer than the politician or the program.

3. Essentially, both welfare and SS are seen by the professional politicians as investments. Investments that are aimed at preventing older workers unable to continue working to feel connected to the culture and to not feel rejected and abandoned. This could lead to major elective problems for many politicians and rightfully could lead to more costly or unequal remedies at the state level. There are too many children that either do not have the resources or the emotional connection to their parents for the state/Feds to rely upon family to take care of these older people and SS and welfare spreads the cost per taxpayer and creates an controlled payout and oversight limiting abuse that is predictable and relatively fair. Welfare does the same thing only for younger mothers and children that for whatever reason have found themselves without means. Anyone who believes that reducing or eliminating either welfare or SS or both would cure the country's fiscal woes is sadly mistaken as those people won't just disappear. Something would have to be done for or about them.

4. There is quite a lot of corporate welfare doled out by the federal and state governments. Why do you think there's such a competition for the positions of senators and representatives? It's to be able to apportion those disbursements to those willing to share with those who arrange for them and to aid them in continued election.

5. That these programs have gotten larger than CURRENTLY sustainable is actually the product of the draw back of the economy however they can't be scaled back to the same degree that they economy withdrew without forcing many at risk people to be subjected to factors they would likely not survive and it would be on display for everyone to see what was happening. Unless you are willing to allow that then cavalier calls to cut people off are just internet bravado and posturing.

Much of the money in the economy has gone to banks and other financial institutions to prop them up due to THEIR mismanagement and in some cases outright fraud. If you support the idea of keeping these banks from failing then you cannot complain about SS or Welfare as propping these banks up is also a form of cultural protection. These banks are also tieing  resources that could go to investing in construction, businesses or extraction of resources but they are being held to keep the banks from collapsing under all their bad debt.

Please. Before spouting some t-shirt motto about welfare or SS, do some actual thinking about how the system works, who are the real beneficiaries, who are the actual manipulators and what the reality would be otherwise.

A few points you're missing - assuming this comment wasn't a colossal troll - are that the fossil part of the fossil-fuels isn't dinosaurs. It's more to do with vegetation in places here and there. There's the famous Carboniferous Period, for instance; this was before the dinosaurs. This was before reptiles. It was a period when the oxygen content was 35%! That's a lot of vegetation to run the oxygen percentages that high!

So, there were dragonflies four feet long then, and frogs the size of you. The past, is, as they say, a different country. Earth was then a different planet.

Also there's continental drift to consider. Arabia wasn't always in desert latitudes.

I use light virgin olive oil for those type cases and a single quart lasts me a year. So I don't really care that it costs $14. For fancier needs, I have a bottle of extra virgin first press blah blah blah stuff that ran me $30 for a quart. It'll last me for many years.

450 >>>The United States alone uses more than 20 million bbl per day. Is the abiotic theory of production demonstrably false? If so, then how did other planets without life (such as Jupiter and Saturn) get hydrocarbons like methane (which is CH4)? There is a long long distance between methane and octane. Methane can be formed non organically from more unstable chemical formations, such as ionized hydrogen gas in a nebula coming into contact with stellar carbon. That doesn't explain the huge quantity of very complex hydrocarbons we have available as fossil fuel on earth. The best theories about biotic formation from organic ocean sediment over millions of years looks to be the best explanation. Essentially slowly over time the process would have eaten up all the carbon in the biosphere. Leaving none left for life. Fortunately mankind has averted that fate by burning fossil fuels and returning them to the biosphere. We as a result saved life on earth.

468 Consider that crude oil has had billions of years to accumulate and we are burning it up over a period of hundreds of years. I don't really doubt that some is produced within the mantle by abiotic means, but most of it is the result of concentrated photosynthesis over long periods of time.

Again, a thoughtful answer for which I am appreciative, and no, I'm not trolling.  My snark about Saudi Arabia had nothing to do with it being a desert, but rather the tendency of reserves to accumulate locally rather than more evenly as I would think would occur if what you're saying is the only answer regarding the origins of petroleum.

According to the much dread Wiki, the Carboniferous period did peak at around 35% oxygen, as opposed to ~ around 21% today.  This oxygen-rich environment apparently led to hyper-vegetation and species gigantism.  Lots of carbon-rich matter to turn into petroleum.  I get all that.

But if the strict fossil fuel theory is correct, the local formation phenomena seems to suggest that only small amounts of all that decomposition resulted in hydrocarbon formations - e.g., those portions buried under subduction zones, etc.  Otherwise, whatever else died on the surface would have looked like everything else that dies on the surface today, ashes to ashes and dust to dust as it were.  Or are you saying that everything that dies on the surface today will someday be petroleum?

And again, where did the interstellar hydrocarbons come from given the absence of surround living material?

Your answers are just fine, they just don't explain the unbelievable volume of what we've extracted, the even bigger volume of what we know is still down there, or where hydrocarbons away from the Earth came from.

So, I'm not trying to suggest that both models can't be true, I'm just asking what evidence is there that the heat and temps generated deeper in the Earth couldn't have created significant amounts of hydrocarbons as apparently happened elsewhere in the solar system (or wherever our solar system captured them from), and are we correct in assuming we will one day run out of it given man's rather limited run on Earth so far?

When my partner got back at dusk I told him about my deer in the tree and he wouldn't believe it. Had to drag him out to the tree.
 
That left me 2.5 days to drink. It was hard work, but someone had to do it. My partner was pissed because A> he trained me and B> he never got his deer that trip and C>it started snowing and sleeting on day 2.

Posted by: Robert at March 23, 2012 02:31 AM (F79HU) hey, for your next dog, be sure you never give them grapes or raisins. I used to five them to my small terrier - not the methlab - and she loved them. she would play with them forever and then eat them. I noticed once or twice that her muzzle seemed to swell up and get puffy after she ate them so I ran a google on the swelling. it turns out that grapes and raisins kill dogs. there is no apparent rhyme or reason to it; no apparent dosage, not certain which types of grapes or what types of dogs, but some dogs eat grapes and it kills them. I asked my vet about it, he is older, and he said he had never heard of it and that he gave his dog grapes all the time. I gave him the articles and he looked into it and decided no to feed his dog grapes anymore. kinda ruined grapes for me since every time I try to eat them the little terrier comes unglued if I do not give her a grape so I just quit eating them. she loves all kinds of fruit and vegetables. and she lobes the beef.

If you go to petfinder.com you can find about anything you want. If you decide to get one try to go to a kill shelter and take one from the shelter.

601 Panther's a genius. Gotta love the T-Bone. I am a universal dog lover. They're all great. Love Chihuahuas but they are not for weak owners. They're so macho, they throw the gauntlet down every time they see a Pitbull and they don't like strangers up in their grill. You gotta be a badass to own a well behaved Chi. Terriers and sight hounds are challenging, too.

we never ever allow such invasions.


my hairless pusseh only eats the crunchies no treats perhaps vika is right and shes just too good for human trifles. i know that the new kitten gets extremely excited about human food and clearly feels he is not.


the australian shepard loves all forms of human food. Waldo did too. the corgies were just to short to find out about human food. they just stared and looked cute.

I never intended to get a pit anything but the pitlab mix "methlab" is a great dog. she needed a adjustment period but now she is fine. stereotyping follows. african American girls are generally afraid of the methlab. Hispanic girls love the methlab, especially Puerto Rican girls; they always rub her and hug on her and cally her mami. Lots of girls like the methlab, they are usually under 40. the girls that like my little dog are all girls you would never hesitate to bring home to mom and are 30+.

had to pick my former Aussie up from the shelter one county over (still dont know how that happened but i think he had human help, he was a gorgeous dog who could climb fences. I think he was stolen then tried to get home. the shelter said the tag number wasnt him but i went to check and it was. i was pissed. I call such places... death factories. every single animal there was scared out of its mind. I wished i had room in the truck for every dog and cat there.

624 I love Pits, Robert. Starting caring for guard dogs as a kid and my fave was a sweetheart Pit. Just a darling angel baby. People will freak and it flucks up your insurance rates. Chihuahuas screw up rates, too. As a predator of unsuspecting females, I think you should go with an unusual looking mutt. Try to find a lovebug. Talk to the shelter folks. It's hard to judge temperament there but sometimes they know the lovebugs. Then be patient during the transition.

644 Yeah Y5 I listened,, and thought it was one of his worse banters of baffling bullshit that seemed to even confuse him at the end... what a fucking clueless fuck he is... Posted by: beanervt at March 23, 2012 04:45 AM (KZLoo) Eisenhower had a quote that went something like "I never miss an opportunity to keep my mouth shut." I generally follow that everywhere except here. zero should try that himself.

645 so, Tebow is in nyc now. the local media are wondering if he can handle living in nyc because it is big and dangerous for a hick and a rub like him and whether he will need a chaperone to stay a virgin. sigh.

647 What happened to the dumb jock stereotype of God cliche spouter? I remember it from childhood and it wasn't new then. You'd think Tebow was the first one. The media is weird.

I like IKE,,, but mister super used car salesmen, which is all he is except he cheats the taxpayer instead of the unsuspecting buyer, can do nothing but run his gums,, that's all he's got.. without it he's done.. he's not a great thinker, speaker, or leader so obviously without his yap he's done...

Posted by: beanervt at March 23, 2012 05:02 AM (KZLoo) did you see the piece on an earlier thread where the danish broadcaster analyzes zero's speeches? they have clip after clip of him using the phrases "punches above their weight" and "one of our closest allies" to refer to all sorts of nations in joint press conferences with their leaders. you are right. he is a used car salesman with one routine. if the media were not a propaganda machine it would have been apparent to every one a long time ago.

I have been telling people for years that zero is just a dumbfuck.  I get the evil genius argument back most times.  I always point out that smart people tell smarter lies than dumb people.  Zero's lies are really fucking dumb.  From that I conclude that he is too.


Sometimes I get the argument that he knows his audience and they are really fucking dumb, so why waste time making up better lies?  If that is the case, then he has no pride.

Yeah JC and like everything that use to mean something lefties take over, and turn it into a convoluted 180degrees of what it was intended..

Obozo isn't noble (though he like thinking he's a king), he's not peaceful, and the only prize he deserves is the PUTZ prize not for his golfin but for his being a total ass...

I see that the good "Reverends", race-mongers, leftists, and protected class of the perpetually aggrieved have gathered in Sanford, FL  to protest the shooting of the young black boy.  First, let me say that this may have been a flat out murder by an overzealous neighborhood watch person, but  we really don't know all the fact yet.  What ticks me off about this is, where's tha national outrage when a group of blacks set a white kid on fire while saying, "that's what you get, whitey".   There's hardly a mention of something like that on the news, and there's certainly no national outcry for justice.

 

The media's lead-in to this story seems very coordinated - "The shooting of a Fl black teen has sparked national outrage".  Well duh.  I doubt the "nation" would even be aware of this story if it weren't for the media and race mongers having at it 24/7.  Once again, we are told what to think and how to feel about something, and once again, many are playing the lemmings.  Any loss of life in a tragic way is disturbing, but how about a little balance, huh?  I'm sorry, but this black kid's shooting deserves no  more attention than the white kid that was set on fire.  If the FL shooting demands national outrage, marches, speeches, law changes, 24/7 media coverage, than so does any heinous crime committed by a black person against another race.  Just my opinion.

 

It's obvious that this case is going to be used to try and overturn FL self-protection law.  It will also serve as the spotlight case to show that racism is still pervasive in white America.  After all, that agrees with Obama and Holder's beliefs.

and after the race baiters are done maybe pelosis can claim with obozocare this would never have happened,, and obozo can call the family and take a personal interest which  will lead to campaign ads of how hateful the tea party and wingers are.... don't ask me how they come up with this stuff but they do...

Just in case anyone's still reading this thread, times have changed. Back then you could show boobies* and even a little bush** and still get a PG rating. Remember that the next time some Santorumtard whines about our supposedly hypersexualized culture.

677 This thread! It's so grungy and old! Almost 700 comments! I can't believe I read (sort-of) the whole thing. Peaches and olives? I thought peanut butter was bad for dogs. Chocolate definitely. We have mostly switched from good ol' olive oil to even better coconut oil. And who reads the butt-ends of threads? Oh yeah, and Obama is a stuttering clusterfluke of ... oh, right, steevy took care of that already.
