Overnight Open Thread (4-12-2012)
— Maetenloch

Since I'm travelling and kinda sick you're gonna get a hodgepodge of Le Suc. And like it.

This is the story of the great war that Rikki-tikki-tavi fought single-handed, through the bath-rooms of the big bungalow in Segowlee cantonment. Darzee, the Tailorbird, helped him, and Chuchundra, the musk-rat, who never comes out into the middle of the floor, but always creeps round by the wall, gave him advice, but Rikki-tikki did the real fighting.
He was a mongoose, rather like a little cat in his fur and his tail, but quite like a weasel in his head and his habits. His eyes and the end of his restless nose were pink. He could scratch himself anywhere he pleased with any leg, front or back, that he chose to use. He could fluff up his tail till it looked like a bottle brush, and his war cry as he scuttled through the long grass was: "Rikk-tikk-tikki-tikki-tchk!"

And Some Other Beginnings

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

He was one hundred and seventy days dying and not yet dead. He fought for survival with the passion of a beast in a trap. He was delirious and rotting, but occasionally his primitive mind emerged from the burning nightmare of survival into something resembling sanity. Then he lifted his mute face to Eternity and muttered: "What's a matter, me? Help, you goddamn gods! Help, is all."

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.

Everybody with a gun has a check-point in Lebanon. And in Lebanon you'd be crazy not to have a gun. Though, I assure you, all the crazy people have guns, too.

On the morning the last Lisbon daughter took her turn at suicide - it was Mary this time, and sleeping pills, like Therese - the two paramedics arrived at the house knowing exactly where the knife drawer was, and the gas oven, and the beam in the basement from which it was possible to tie a rope

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the house-tops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

Just Another Word For Grilled Meat

23-year-old Shin Dong-hyuk is the only known person to have been born into a North Korean prison camp and escape.

As a prisoner, Shin was not allowed to eat the meat of any livestock on the farm. But he and other prisoners could sometimes steal. The smell of roasting pork on the farm would alert guards, leading to beatings and weeks of half-rations, so they ate purloined pork raw.

Much of what Park [a prisoner who had lived abroad] talked about, especially at the beginning, was difficult for Shin to understand or care about. What delighted him-what he kept begging Park for-were stories about food and eating. These were the stories that kept Shin up at night fantasizing about a better life. Freedom, in Shin's mind, was just another word for grilled meat.

The Great Gas Pump Post-It Note Revolt

Unhappy with Obama and his oil policies and got some post-it notes? Then join the movement:

Prompted by social media, some people are now affixing Post-It notes to the gas pump when they fill up, with messages like this one reminding anyone who reads it just how much the cost of gasoline has skyrocketed since Obama became president.
It remains to be seen if that effort will truly gather steam. But if it does, it could be a game-changer in the campaign.

The Ultimate in Glamping

Located in the heart of the Southern Alps in New Zealand, the site offers luxury tented glamping amid a picturesque glacial valley. The remote location is only accessible by air, where guests are flown in by helicopter before being escorted to their luxuriously furnished tented suite. While the accommodation is constructed from canvas tents and the property classifies itself as a "camp," this nature retreat has little in common with the traditional camping experience.

6 glamping has all of the ingredients necessary for a horror movie. a bunch of half wits helicoptered into a location that is nearly inaccesible by the stoutest individuals meaning there is no way the campers will have any chance of getting out unless the helicopter returns. add bad weather, hungry prehistoric supersized something or other shake well. I do not go to mexico because of the crime and corruption. I am certainly not going somewhere I cannot get back out of on my own.

9 A former Israeli ambassador to Iran, now serving as an adviser to the minister of strategic affairs, says he has little faith in SaturdayÂ’s talks on IranÂ’s nuclear program yielding a breakthrough. He also says the American administration is being duped by Iran, has consistently misread the regime there, and has misunderstood the needs of the people. Â“I am very, very skeptical about this meeting,Â” Uri Lubrani, a senior adviser on Iran to Vice Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon, told The Times of Israel. Â“ItÂ’s just another trick in a package of tricks meant to buy time,Â” said Lubrani, who served as IsraelÂ’s head of mission in Tehran, with the rank of ambassador, from 1973-1978, the final years of IsraelÂ’s warm relations with Iran before the fall of the Shah.

He's fairly interesting in his interviews when he talks about being atheist and his treatment by religious people. Its obvious that he's got more respect for them than probably most other atheists and even some religious people.

50 Rikki-Tikki is a great story.

But just as Teddy was stooping, something wriggled a little in the dust, and a tiny voice said: "Be careful. I am Death!" It was Karait, the dusty brown snakeling that lies for choice on the dusty earth; and his bite is as dangerous as the cobra's. But he is so small that nobody thinks of him, and so he does the more harm to people.

83 WhatÂ’s the going rate for inducing someone to commit career suicide? Apparently you can do it for five grand, as long as that person has a sufficiently large ax to grind against his employer. GawkerÂ’s John Cook tells me the gossip website paid Joe Muto $5,000 for his contributions as Â“The Fox Mole.Â” Muto, a former producer on Â“The OÂ’Reilly Factor,Â” had intended to remain anonymous, but it took the network less than 24 hours to figure out where the leaks were coming from and have him escorted out.

101 toby, here's something that should make you laugh. Bubba's conversion Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But all of Bubba's neighbors were Catholic....and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday. The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest. The Priest came to visit Bubba and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Bubba attended Mass.....and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic." Bubba's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison again filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors and as he rushed into Bubba's yard clutching a rosary preparing to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement. There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted: "You wuz born a deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you is a catfish.Â”

A police sergeant in Santa Fe, New Mexico is in a bad situation after a video caught him masturbating while he was on duty. The video has recently been released and it was filmed by the dashboard camera of the officerÂ’s cruiser. The video released to the media does not show the inside of the cruiser but has audio that is quite steamy. The officer in question is Sgt. Mike Eiskant. One former officer, Shannon Brady, was not surprised at the news of the video as Brady said that Eiskant had a bad reputation as a stalker of women and a Â‘creeper.Â’ Brady attempted to file a harassment complaint against Eiskant years ago with the Santa Fe Police DepartmentÂ’s human resource division. The complaint was filed with compliance officer Raymond Rael, who is not the police chief for the department.

I know the feeling in part, we've been juggling care for my wife's disabled mother for several years now (she's only turning 60 this year.)

White; blinding; waterless; without feature save for the faint, cloudy haze of the mountains which sketched themselves on the horizon and the devil-grass which brought sweet dreams, nightmares, death. An occasional tombstone sign pointed the way, for once the drifted track that cut its way through the thick crust of alkali had been a highway and coaches had followed it. The world had moved on since then. The world had emptied. IÂ’m guessing California, maybe Highway 8.

Actually, it's worse than that. Reductions in the marginal income tax rate result in increased revenue to the treasury. Tax cuts more than "pay for" themselves! It's been true every time it's been tried. (of course, at some point, revenue does decrease with a decrease in marginal tax rates, but that rate is lower than any we've had in modern times.)

141 Good evening, morons. S King wrote a classic with The Stand, although when he went back some 12 - 15 years later to "unabridge" it, he added a bunch of politics c.1980 and lessened the book's impact, IMO. A couple of his later efforts were noteworthy. The Gunslinger series was very good, I think, but the end was predictable by the start of the last volume. What really shot that series in the ass was when the bastard wrote HIMSELF into the book! What the hell?

The problem is it's almost true. Which would be in italics if pixy's buttons worked. Tax cuts alone don't change the fact that the federal government still goes ahead and spends the money so your deficit still increases by roughly the amount of the cut.

The problem is we argue over tax cuts for us and more spending for Dems, but we're really arguing over whether the money they're borrowing is allocated to existing programs (diminishing the pain of the bloat to taxpayers) vs. more programs. The truth is we shouldn't be borrowing. At. All.

OK, I keep seeing all these articles about how e-books don't really save publishers money because they still have to pay for author advances and marketing and office space and yada yada and how the cost of the book was never really about the paper or shipping. Which to a certain extent OK. But, a large part of the cost publishers eat is their odd mechanism of printing a bunch of copies of books, sending them to bookstores and then allowing bookstores to return unsold copies and get money back for them. e-books alleviate that.

I just think that it seems like publishers should actually be able to sell e-books for less. And these days with social media and other types of marketing, not to mention the fact that everyone and their grandmother has a blog, that marketing shouldn't be a huge cost.

Oh and fuck them very much in terms of author advances because maybe if they weren't a bunch of star fucking whores who happily pay people like Paris Hilton way too much money for their stupid inane thoughts maybe they wouldn't be bleeding money out every opening.

174 165 Rep. Chuck Kruger (D-Thomaston), the Democrat chair of the Maine legislatureÂ’s Moderate Caucus, used his Twitter account to express his view that former Vice President Dick Cheney should be executed. This comment has led some to question the validity of KrugerÂ’s moderate credentials. Posted by: steevy at April 12, 2012 09:54 PM (7W3wI) A moderate Democrat believes that other people should be cajoled until they voluntarily do everything the Democrat wants. A radical believes people should be forced to do what he wants. So that's right, Kruger is not a moderate Democrat, he's a normal one.

That's the game that's being played. Oh, we charged him but that icky icky judge let him off! The thing is that the prosecutor may find herself facing some sticky ethical problems because, in theory, it's an ethical violation for a prosecutor to bring charges that are not well grounded. Violate Rule Number One (Never piss off the judge) hard enough and the judge probably has the discretion to press an ethics charge.

I know utterly nothing about Florida law and I suck at criminal law in general, but there may also be an issue with all the lesser included charges being heaved as well. Going for second degree only is a serious risk.

Are you near your alma mater? Lots of "customer service" in that, but more interesting. And if you do have some writing skills, that would put you up on a lot of alumni relations people. Also, if you have a head for analytics (spreadsheets and such) that could make you useful in terms of target-marketing to specific alumni segments. You'd have to start entry level (if you did telefund while you were a student you might be able to count that or if you were involved in a community organization or charity, that might count toward experience) which wouldn't pay much, but it's a good entree in university development and other things.

And then a long wave of warmth crossed the small town. A flooding sea of hot air; it seemed as if someone had left a bakery door open. The heat pulsed among the cottages and bushes and children. The icicles dropped, shattering, to melt. The doors flew open. The windows flew up. The children worked off their wool clothes. The housewives shed their bear disguises.

Good evening, good people.Fun time yesterday along with nearly 600 people stocking brown trout at the park.

There was a raft of kids and a miscellany of buckets, many of which actually held water. Each kid was given a trout and herded down to the small brook that flows through. Of course several dozen fell into the foot and a half of COLD water, resulting in much merriment.

We (grandkids and I) had 2 buckets, one that had a hole, and I watched older granddaughter do something that made me swell with pride. She gave her turn up so that her sister could participate. I do love that child.

237 Where are you... roughly speaking... Truman? Also, with you being a "non-traditional" student (graduate) that gives you an interesting perspective. And you'd (presumably) be a more stable employee. My husband has a lot of turnover at the entry level jobs because a lot of them are young and the good ones get stolen away and the bad ones drift away (or flame out). So if you present yourself as seriously interested in the field (University Advancement/Alumni Relations)... the course would help show that... you would be an appealing candidate. Also, if you are more "seasoned" (mature) then you would be useful in something like a Parents program where they try to provide services of interests to parents... for the ultimate goal of getting them interested in supporting the university.

261 OK Roonz and Roonettez, I haven't come to entertain you but to sell you something.

Give me your money...or more to the point, your donations to the Wounded Warrior Project. Hit my name for the link, I'll be linked to Mustangs On The Mountain for the duration of April instead of to my blog. Give generously and often or else I'll just leave it linked and you won't ever again be able to experience the joys of my inane, insane, and asinine scribblings on my bass-ackwards corner of the web!

eh...ok maybe not...but seriously, if you can toss some bucks towards Wounded Warrior Project through the MOTM that would be great. We're even having a raffle! Check us out!

Evening roonz and roonettez!

280 "How did cheboy and the minions like the one on one time?" Rotfl.. I coached two of the che-bots today, one of them was the one that came to me that day when I was out smoking and asked me to put a stop to things. He flat out asked me if he should start looking for another job now, he was convinced his name would be on the list. I told him in no uncertain terms that he was part of my team now. That meant it was my job to help him get his numbers turned around - that also meant that as long as I though he was giving me my best effort I'd make sure he'd still have a job there until we could get his numbers turned around. He was pretty surprised I think, wasn't at all what he expected. I have a coaching session with Che-boy tomorrow, one of the reasons I was doing some additional prep work tonight. The previous supervisor left me a total mess. He hadn't been doing much of anything - it's a total disaster. One of the girls had been trying to get a day off for months, he never even took 5 minutes to put in her request. So now her sister is graduating here in May and she couldn't get the day off even though she requested it months in advance. Took a bit of doing to get that fixed. So yup, I got a lot of cleanup work to do and not a lot of time to get it done in. Life in the fast lane I guess.. lol

310 "Amazing. Most companies usually take great pains to keep people separated after such huge blow ups. They must think real high of you, Stuck." Well according to the MD they had been planning on bumping me up for a while, but of course for all I know she went in and back dated the paperwork. As it is it's a pretty elegant solution all the way around I guess from her perspective. They have more than enough paper work on them not meeting standards that they can fire the lot of them pretty much at will with no fear of repercussions, since none of them have met acceptable standards in probably 6-8 months time on average. But this way the ball is completely in my court, and as such it's not like I could ever say the company didn't pretty much give me ever resource I needed to deal with any of those issues myself. Yup.. she's crafty.

330 316 ....

Well the MD and I talked about that a bit too, I expressed some concern given recent events that they might not be too thrilled with the situation and I didn't want it to have a negative effect on production.

Her thought process was pretty straight forward, we have a new training class starting next week and I'll be getting the majority of them when the graduate from training. So if che-boy and the bots don't want to work for me and keep their noses clean, they can be replaced. From looking at their numbers today they are all pretty borderline anyway in most categories and the company won't consider any of them to be a big loss.

From the looks of things the old supervisor loaded his team with a lot of people he liked personally and didn't really worry to much about anything else, so the standards have been pretty lax for a while now.

Guess some folks are in for a big surprise tomorrow. The MD more or less gave me a free hand in getting the team turned around and the numbers back up - that includes an envelope full of pink slips I can pretty much hand out at my own discretion.

344 I had a change of mind. I will voe for Mitt Romney against Obama.
Here are my reasons:
1) Obamacare- This is life or death and I don't want the government determining my health decisions.
2)Hillary Rosen's attacks on Ann Romney was an attack on my family. This is a red line the Left crossed
3) Gary Johnson has no shot at winning.
5) Judges
4) Obama is an all round asshole.

I still have my beefs with the Republican Party since it enables bigots, but they are like Chihuahuas and can't live out their genocide fantasies. I am armed anyway (Shhh, don't tell Rahm Emanuel), so if these inbred racists even try to go that route, they will be in for a shock. I was born here and can't be deported to Brazil or Italy as much as these white trash scum want me gone.

I am putting my differences aside and will vote against the Chi-Town hustler and send him back to Hyde Park. I am doing this for the greater good for America.

Down with Obama!

Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at April 12, 2012 10:03 PM (SsG4J)

As the only moron who has actually had lunch with a Koch (in his office in Wichita, back in 1986), I'd be glad to put in a good word...

I got a oil farmout from him for 3000 acres in Winkler County Texas that his dad Fred (as Rock ISland Oil) had bought and drilled back in the 1940's. He invidted me to lunch and we just sat around for an hour, talking about politics. Very engaging gentleman.

btw - the wells I drilled were the best ones I ever drilled and they are still pumping out oil. Sad to say, I had to sell them when I sold my company back in 1989, but they did very well for me , nonetheless.

The Kochs are great liberty-loving people. Fuck the JEF cocksucker to say otherwise.

411 Foundation Center has tools for doing that, but you need a subscription... which your sponsored programs office may have... or which your university development corporate and foundation relations office may have. Another strategy is to go to your top ten or twenty competitors' papers and see what they cite as funding sources in their acknowledgements section. Sometimes you can find out about foundations you've never heard of that way. Development people can be annoying, but if you have some grant proposals (federal) -- even ones that were funded -- and you are willing to give them the layperson's explanation, they should be able to find foundations that might be interested. It wouldn't count as double-dipping if it was funded as a gift from a private foundation.

420 TJ, My job occasionally takes me to our long term care facility and we have quite a few Huntington's Disease patients. We are one of a handful of facilities that take them in California. Its devastating. What drives us crazy is we can have three generations of a family in the facility at once. They knew they had Huntington's but still had children. Its a early death sentence and it angers you and breaks your heart all at once.

432 but it seems like *everybody* is competing for the same pot of money, so it would be nice to find a little niche opportunity ---- How much is a helpful amount? I mean, would something as little as $25k-$50k be of use or do you only need a lot of long-term funding? Lots of family foundations will tend to give within their states and if you can find out what they are, they can provide good seed money or tiding over money. (For example, in Indiana there was a place called the Showalter Trust.) In my experience, Sponsored Programs folks are not very helpful with this stuff (they only tend to know federal funders - the ones everyone knows), but development people can be. Corporate is another way to go. Those can wind up being contracts, though, and then sponsored programs screws those things up b/c they always want to charge federal indirect cost rates and companies don't want that. But if your corporate development person is good, they can construct it as a gift, not a contract, and avoid overhead. Might be worth a couple of hours of your time in talking with the development folks.

But most importantly, thank you so much. Be well!

452 "I am dead serious. Voting Libertarian is waste. " Yup. Completely. Might as well not vote at all. "Obama is not a normal Democrat. He's a Marxist who wants to destroy America. I will have to hold my nose and vote Republican." Umm.. welcome to the club. "If I came across as an ass, I do apologize. Its just dealing with bigits at Hoit AIr gave me a bad taste about Republicans. I will admit, you guys are a saner bunch than those crypto Nazis at Hot Air." Ok, well this is not Hot Air. I can't say if people there are bigotted or not because frankly I only have time enough for one blog and for me, this is it. Second, to say that all republican's are racist.. well, it's complete and total horseshit. I am not a republican myself, I'm actually registered as an independent. But I end up voting almost straight republican anyway, as they seem to do the least damage. And third, if you want to get to know people or talk to them probably the worst thing you can do is introduce yourself by calling them all a bunch of worthless bigots. Now if you are truly sorry for that I'll accept your apology and move on - but be advised that you need to dump your preconcieved notion and treat us as individuals. We do not suffer from the group think that liberals do, we are all very different people. And as to the rest of the bloggers here, they are among the finest people who have ever walked this earth, so yes, when you insult them I will take you to task for it. Hope that makes my position clear.

Tell me about it. I've been registered as a Libertarian from when I turned 18 to 2009, 'cause I was thinking the purity of the vision would help lead people to real solutions.......

In 2008, we got Pelosi, Obama, and Reid. We weren't talking about the difference between Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller on one side, and Richard Nixon and John McCain on the other......we were talking about f'ing Pelosi, f'ing Obama, and the Undertaker.

I changed my registration to Republican because I'd rather contribute to the GOP and try to influence it, than see the statist Dems destroy the country while I was earnestly arguing about the way toilet paper should come off the roll.

I might reveal my nick in time. I might just go out with a bang at Hot Air and let the scum there know how I feel about them.

Fair enough. But I do have 3 requests of you , if you don't mind ...

1) If you actually do go out with a bang at Hot Air, you'll post something memorable ... long enough to be noticed, nothing that will be immediately deleted, etc.,

2) If you actually do go out with a bang at Hot Air, you'll stick around there for a few comment exchanges, not just flounce and bounce,

3) With Ace's permission, you'll post a notice here, smetng that gets noticed by whomever is on-line (and preferably not between 12midnight and 8:00AM Eastern Time), perhaps 60 minutes befor you flounce at Hot Air.

574 Ok, Shockwave, let me lay this out for you. So far you haven't made a real good impression. You've made some wild generalizations, some extremely ridiculous assumptions and pretty much announced from the get go that as far as your concerned we need to somehow prove ourselves to you. Umm.. ya, got that completely reversed from the get go I'm afraid. Look, on this blog we have a wide array of opinions and views and we discuss them openly and honestly. You will see just about every topic you can imagine and it will be looked at from many different perspectives. Sometimes we argue, sometimes we even call names - but for the most part we tease each other in good fun and discuss things from a variety of points of view. People who want to call us all racist and resort to the lazy, out of the can horseshit are just not going to be welcome here. If you want to be welcome here you have to talk to us, not at us with a bunch of hashed over liberoid talking points like all republican's are mean or racist or whatever. That's childish nonsense and as I'm sure you've discovered will gain you nothing here but scorn. This is a place for adults to talk about grownup things and to kid around a bit here and there. So if that is of interest to you, welcome. But if you keep coming with this huge chip on your shoulder the only thing you'll get is scorn and ridicule, and rightly so. Kapesh?

Then the attack on Ann Romney hit home. I want to make enough money so my wife doesn't have to work. The attacks on her were just so wrong, it shook me to the core. I will gladly vote for Mitt Romney in November.,

590 always keep thinking of Jonathan Blow when reading chemjeff's posts

Friendship with Blow requires patience for his rigid, often puzzling personal codes. He enjoys talking, but abhors idle conversation and is intensely private. He goes out dancing several nights a week, yet the suggestion of visiting the same club for a beer will elicit a lengthy anti-bar diatribe. Â“YouÂ’re poisoning yourself with alcohol,Â” Blow vented, as Hecker smiled knowingly beside him. Â“YouÂ’re kind of socializing, but the loud music prevents you from actually communicating. ItÂ’s all set up to help people socialize who donÂ’t feel comfortable being honest about why theyÂ’re there. It freaks me out. Just understand what youÂ’re doing, and do it.Â”

Â“Hold on,Â” I objected. Â“Are you saying people at bars should just walk up to each other and say, Â‘I would like to have sexual intercourse with youÂ’?Â”

Â“I think we could live a lot closer to a truthful existence and weÂ’d all be better off,Â” he replied.

I stopped reading HA a couple years ago because their commentariat wasn't any better than you'd find on a sports blog, entertainment site, etc. The S/N ratio was about 0.05, with a mountain of misspelled emotional factless bullshit and anecdotal crap, when the yes-men weren't clapping like trained seals. AoS is home because the commentors are generally a cut above.

Regarding trolls, I can smell them a mile away, except Joe. He has talent and a unique style...on the occasions where I see a too-perfect troll post, I start looking for hidden letters. For whatever reason, I find his particular inanity interesting. Better than the cat lady or Ray, at any rate.

No, at least not through level 15 or so. But then, I'm a Disgaea guy, so I like the grind. Graphically it's the best I've seen of any f2p game and I haven't had any lag issues yet. The music's pretty good. It feels like there's a good balance between income and expenses. And auctions are good for like 8 days, so the market is functional unlike a lot of games I've played.

There's a bunch of goodies in 3.0 I can't really comment on yet, too.

656 "I'm speaking generally because I don't know anyone there and have never commented since registration is perpetually closed. I felt I had to write that community off." Only time I went to hot air was about 5 minutes ago, following shockwave's link. I read through the post he provided and the top section of comments, nothing there even remotely racist. Didn't bother to go further, didn't see much point. If he can discern racism from that, and then infer that we are all racists too as a result.. well, that's no libertarian. Not by a long damn shot.

676 I've noticed that the comments section at HotAir, when the topics refer to Hispanics (or latinos or chicanos or whatever the PC phrase of the day is), take a decidedly ignorant turn. I finally came to the conclusion that Hot Air commentors were bottom of the barrel low-lifes. Posted by: Robert at April 13, 2012 12:26 AM (F79HU) The used to have "pet trolls" who were allowed to get away with anything. Now AFAICT the commentariat is about half concern trolls. It's like the expansion room for KOS. There are a few hangers-on from the old days (I was reading HA when "reading HA" meant watching videos). They did bust a couple of people for planting "racist bombs" a while back, but they don't seem to care anymore. The management seems to be of the persuasion that thinks it can stand next to a bigot and look better, and it doesn't matter if the bigot is a cardboard cutout of a bigot. I think they basically went halfway to football-land and stopped. Also they post misleading headlines and repeats all the time.

Ok. You might want to re-read the HotAir link you supplied ... after you've read up on the laws in, say Mexico, concerning illegal immigration, and specifically, how the Mexican government views illegal immigration across its southern border. You might also do a bit of research on how the Mexican government views its citizens moving to the US ... Don't forget to read up on MS-13, MEChA ...

You might want to get a thicker skin, learn to deal with intellectually-honest discussion and criticism ... and be able to face some self-criticsm as well. Read the comments as they are posted, not as you would like them to be. Admittedly, the comments at Hot Air are extremely short, but they are not racist ... not even a little.

I would think we'd string him along until he blurted out something like saying he Â“made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.Â” That way, we could figure out his cause, ignorance, delusion, level of demonic possession, or duplicity.

But saying something unkind about a politician is hardly bigotted. "They also said he's not a natural born citizen, which is a lie and racist." Well, it may be an untrue statement, but again racism is assumed here. They might not know enough about Rubio to realize he is a natural born citizen. "He got called an anchor baby, which is insulting.Your not Latino so you don't see it." Interesting. So what race am I? Or can you perhaps see that your making all sorts of racial assumptions here - without foundation in fact. For all you know I might very well be latino, or asian, or black, or native american. Truth is you don't know me from adam. So how could you possible know what race I am? Also, unless you are a racist, what bearing would my race have on anything?

Hot AIr is the GOP establishment blog. They allow racist coments towards Latinos. They direct it more at Mexicans, but to these bigots I as a Brazilian am not that far removed. I just hate it no one at Hot Air stand up to the racists.

It looks like the truth appears ...

I've heard words expressing beliefs and thoughts that are extremely similar to these few sentences .... where was it?

Ahhhhh, I remember... a couple of years ago, at a high school in Morgan Hill California, concerning a kid who wore a t-shirt with the American flag to school, right around the local Cinco de Mayo celebration. I think there's a thread or two on it at Hot Air.

Take-away quote, towards the end of one of the source links ... apparently, all flag displays were banned by the school,and one of the Hispanic students then called the American student(s) racists, his words written in the same manner as Shockwave's #753, and complained that they had nowhere to display their flag ... the Mexican Flag.

Shockwave, simply making assertions is insufficient, you need to make a logical argument. You have failed ... actually, you haven't even tried ... tell me that such an argument is not beyond you.

Name-calling is all that you've done, and pointed to legitimate comments and criticism and tried to de-legitimize it. It doesn't work here in the US; no one is buying.

What? Generalize much?

I had an Argentine painter working for me for awhile. No one worked harder or cared more about the quality of his work. Funny thing was one day he was bitching to me about a team of painters on some other project that he thought were pretty slow and worthless. He leaned over to me and whispered "I think they are Mexicans."

Up until then it had never occurred to me that one nationality that I think of as Latino might look down on another nationality that I think of as Latino. I guess I learn something new all the time.

773 Some thoughts on the election thread below. First I think ace is correct in that many have seen what four years of Obama has been and wont want four more. In this, I think that if Obama is reelected it will be with a smaller popular/electoral vote than in 08.

However, I believe the comparison to Reagan 1980 is strained. Reagan won the pop. vote by 10 percent and the EV by a landslide. Nothing like that is very likely for a Republican now.

Look very carefully at the last five presidential elections. D won three comfortably while R won two relative squeakers. These more recent results are indicative of very real changes that likely preclude a 1980, much less 1984 style Republican victory.

Obama's floor is somewhere between 44 to 48. This is the "locked in" percent a Democrat now has due to being the party of government. This is the taking class, they range from the absurdly enriched to grubbing supplicants. And they are growing every day.

Until Republicans are willing to truly confront the Democrat regime of publicly funded spoils, they are on the road to extinction.

Thing is, coming over to the sensible side is a heckuva paradigm shift. You've been relying on the news since childhood -- oh, what, they're full of it? You went through years and years of school -- wait, you don't know that much that's useful, but a substantial part of what you think is indoctrination? And it can be touched off by a little thing after a succession of big things ignored -- one of them "preference cascade" doodle-ee-watchers. So as you try to fit things back together logically, you still follow illogical "rules-of-thumb" from your indoctrinated days. So the poor sap continues to spew "racism" or knee-jerk leftism or MSM talking points, even as he concedes that the people who told him these things are wrong and never held his best interests in high regard.

Again, I'm not saying I believe anything -- but there may be a moment in his future where he says something like, "wait -- I don't need to cling to bogus credentials here".......would that make him more or less credible?

797 Some thoughts on the election thread below. First I think ace is correct in that many have seen what four years of Obama has been and wont want four more. In this, I think that if Obama is reelected it will be with a smaller popular/electoral vote than in 08. Posted by: cm9000 at April 13, 2012 01:01 AM (MwTP4) very few people are going to look at the last four years and say they want four more of the same. the lower income brackets and minorities especially are not going to want four more of the same. the go go 1990s and early 2000s were more fun for everyone and everyone had access to the credit that made the housing bubble and all of the spending possible. anyone who liked that is not going to vote for obama.

812 820 Some thoughts on the election thread below. First I think ace is correct in that many have seen what four years of Obama has been and wont want four more. In this, I think that if Obama is reelected it will be with a smaller popular/electoral vote than in 08.

However, I believe the comparison to Reagan 1980 is strained. Reagan won the pop. vote by 10 percent and the EV by a landslide. Nothing like that is very likely for a Republican now.

Look very carefully at the last five presidential elections. D won three comfortably while R won two relative squeakers. These more recent results are indicative of very real changes that likely preclude a 1980, much less 1984 style Republican victory.

Obama's floor is somewhere between 44 to 48. This is the "locked in" percent a Democrat now has due to being the party of government. This is the taking class, they range from the absurdly enriched to grubbing supplicants. And they are growing every day.

Until Republicans are willing to truly confront the Democrat regime of publicly funded spoils, they are on the road to extinction.

Posted by: cm9000 at April 13, 2012 01:01 AM (MwTP4)

Your concern is noted, but only Obama won "comfortably". Clinton won with less that 50% both times because of a strong 3rd party running on the conservative line. Obama won because the economy and the markets did a free fall the 3 months before the election, not because of the strength of the Democrat party.

Latino is a bullshit term anyway. Hispanic at least means "Of Spain". But trying to tie diverse nationalities together simply because they all speak the same language is BS. Mexicans aren't Cubans aren't Argies etc etc etc. Each country has different histories settled by different people over long stretches of time.

It's not a line in the sand so much as a blocking maneuver to stop a blatanly corrupt DOJ in it's tracks. If FL prosecutes on murder, while simultaneously presenting the case that it wasn't racially motivated, they protect an innocent citizen from an unethical federal prosecution.

It's like the navy Commander that gave the order to take out the Somali pirates. He was rumored to have used a "liberal" interpretation of Obama's orders to take action. Even if that story is apocryphal it applies here. The DOJ came down threatening to make a Federal case out of the whole ordeal based on race. So FL steps up the charge to an unprovable murder 2 after lesser charges had already been declined as an opportunity to showcase the lack of racial motivation and murder (or lesser homicide). Unfortunately, like the Commander, they have to walk an ethical tightrope to do it.

But from a standpoint of justice, they can either decline the charges and feed him to the federal wolves where he's set up as a scapegoat, or put him through a wringer where he has an opportunity to defend himself against somewhat reasonable charges.

I'll sing to them as I'm making the sammiches (don't laugh, I sing pretty well) but the spiders will have to exterminate themselves. My answer is to burn the barn down around them but I'm pretty sure that's not the result she wants.

Fellow patients & staff chipped in and Mrs W volunteered her world-famous baking skills. I only got a sample taste, but I get to lick the icing bowl. Now to go home and see how the doc's medicine is working on the tumerous cat. Life's... funny. G'night all. Thx r reply, Tammy al Thor.

I don't know FL law, so I don't know if a jury can choose to convict on a lesser charge. The overcharge sure looks like a way to let someone walk while pretending to do otherwise.

On another note, I have an enjoyable image in my brain where a judge calls that gaggle of press assholes into a courtroom and threatens them all with contempt for poisoning jury pools -- followed by locking a bunch of the assholes up for 18 months in pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

hell yeah, when it comes to spiders nothing short of a flamethrower will do. I found a spider in the garage one night that looked like a baby tarantula, fucking sppoky looking thing. I doused it with gas, set in on fire, then sprayed it with carb cleaner and the fucker RAN... it fucking RAN. I then chased a flaming spider 15 feet across the garage... It ran away ON FIRE before finally dying. I went outside and looked for the fucking mother ship.

Nothing less than fire will do.

My understanding is that our homeowner's insurance was jacked up to an alarming degree, yes. But I am not sure how that is really going to work out, because we rent here, where the guitars are.

I thought they'd have their own policy. Is that what you'd recommend?

Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at April 13, 2012 01:25 AM (SsG4J)

====

No special insurance expertise to offer here. If your equip is named specifically on a policy I would be pretty sure you are covered. I would suggest that you get photos (or maybe a video), write a list all the serial numbers, write a statement on provenance, and store the pix and writeups in a safety deposit box or something else that is secure outside the house. Actually that suggestion applies to all your good stuff musical or otherwise. It is a good idea to be able to prove what you own if anything happens to it.

Funny thing was one day he was bitching to me about a team of painters on some other project that he thought were pretty slow and worthless. He leaned over to me and whispered "I think they are Mexicans."
Up until then it had never occurred to me that one nationality that I think of as Latino might look down on another nationality that I think of as Latino. I guess I learn something new all the time.

Posted by: jc at April 13, 2012 12:59 AM (ufJKx)

One of those "true-life adventures" that make me laugh with just the memory......OK, so IRL, my last name is one of those classic Scotch/Irish ones that could be found on either side of the Firth of Clyde -- although my ancestry is very, very Irish -- evidently, I even had a great-aunt who fell out of a potato truck onto a pitchfork. One year, the BH and I decided to do a little vacay around Europe. We started out with a week in Firenze, but decided to reschedule part of our second week to Edinburgh -- so we called the Edinburgh Tourism Office to ask for help.

The deal is, they're only too happy to help us find a place to doss down, but we need to have 'em charge a deposit which gets credited back to our hotel bill. The hotel won't take a reservation without a deposit. So we go with a place called Jury's Inn -- a chain founded in Dublin -- and everything is settled. A week later, we get there, and we have a reservation.....but no deposit.

"You don't take reservations without deposits, do you?" "No, sir, we do not." "And you have the reservation booked, don't you?" "Yes, sir, we do." "So where's the deposit?" "Errrrrrr....."

So we ask when we check in, and they say they'll research it while we sleep. And as we head out in the morning, we ask how the research went........and they say, "what research?" So we explain everything from scratch and go out for the day to Loch Lomond while they research the issue. And we come back to the hotel at night and ask how the research went.......and they say, "what research?" So we explain everything from scratch and go to bed. And this goes on for three solid days.

Since we were going back to London the next day, I determined that things had to be settled this afternoon, so I decided to go back to the source and have a copy of my charge slip in my hand....and found out that the Edinburgh Tourism Office was about 75 feet from the lobby of the hotel. So I jaunted over there, and passed into the old-fashioned shop where a delightful Scottish grandmother was behind the counter. She had white hair, almost translucent skin, probably weighed 90 pounds soaking wet, and was so sweet -- I could have sat and had tea and biscuits with her forever.

So I go in, and she remembers me -- she had taken my information personally from Firenze and hoped that I've had a pleasant stay. And I explain that things have been very pleasant and we've seen so many things, but that the hotel had lost the deposit that logically must have accompanied the reservation, and that the morning and night staff of the hotel seem to commute in from different planets, and how I'd hoped to get some of the original documents to unravel the problem. And she turned to me and said: "well, I'm hardly surprised -- they're Irish, you know."

I've got to say that really changed my outlook on racism. I'm generations from the old country, growing up in California, and because of my name and that I'm visiting one country, I'm assumed to be enough "in the clan" for a sweet little-old-lady to disparage a larger part of my ancestors in an adjacent country.

911 Right, and Bush got 38%, Dole I think 46%, so Clinton would have won either way.

Posted by: cm9000 at April 13, 2012 01:42 AM (MwTP4)

Perot got 19% in 92, and 8.4% in 96. Bush would have won in 92, and it would have been about 50/50 in 96.

I mostly thought it was funny for its "shock value". it was aired around 7:00 pm on broadcast television. nothing necessarily racy about the commercial but if you follow the threads, the conclusions are a little beyond the pale.

918 952 Been my experience that not too many people share that opinion. I don't
either. I think Clinton woulda beat Dole either way, but I don't think
he had a shot at Bush 1 without the big eared munchkin making it happen
for him.

We'll never know, but I think if you look at the numbers Clinton 43%, Bush 38%, Perot 19%, and the electoral votes, Bush wasn't going to win that election.

Posted by: cm9000 at April 13, 2012 01:49 AM (MwTP4)

You do realize that the Dems lost seats in the House in the 92 election. A race that you say Billy Jeff would have won comfortably without Perot. The fact that the Dems lost seats in the House tells you that the majority of voters were Republican voters which means that Perot's vanity project gave us Cletus.

I never thought it would happen, but I have discovered that the combination of a digital piano, headphones, some determination, and some patience can actually cure that. Once you start to gain confidence that you will actually match tones when you sing the whole thing starts to just click.

that is a real problem. a lot of good bass parts are hypnotic. my problem is they tend to hypnotize the bass player. too. But, we are not alone. I remember an interview where BB King said he doesn't play and sing at the same time cuz he has 'stupid fingers.'

Yea, I gotta admit, I can barely play and sing. I can strum a 3 chord wonder and manage it, but if I am signing for real, I can't play.

And even when I'm playing fairly hard, I tend to want to dance.

970 And if you want to see something truly odd but hilarious, find the first episode of On The Air (there were only a few). It was a David Lynch show, from the time when Twin Peaks was mega-big and Lynch could do no wrong. He got several chances to do another show, and they were all quite odd, but the first episode of On The Air is so purposefully odd that it is worth watching. It's basically a half-hour of a Rube Goldberg-esque setup for one joke at the end.

The real major expenses for publishers are the Manhattan offices and other perks, like hiring English lit majors at 80K a year to do proofreading any decent high school grad could perform for a few hundred bucks per book. (Also, an established author can easily crowd source a book's proofreading to a small group of fans. I was part of such an effort recently. We produced an almost perfect draft in less than 24 hours in terms of correcting basic text errors and continuity issues.)

The big publishers are going to die. It's that simple. There is simply no reason for them to exist any more. Many small agencies will emerge from the wreckage and earn their keep with meaningful service with a low overhead. A home office in the suburbs is just as good as a Manhattan skyscraper for this purpose.

Virtually everybody I ever met who expressed support for Perot was a GOP voter who thought Bush was the second coming of the Rockefeller country club branch of the party when they wanted more Reasgan. I find it very hard to believe Bush wouldn't have enjoyed a comfortable margin over Clinton if we had instant run-off voting as at least two thirds of Perot voters would have had Bush as their second choice.

Will consumers realize they should be mad at Zero, not at the merchant?
