Sunday Zero Content Open Thread [OregonMuse]
— Open Blogger

I guess none of the other cob-loggers are up yet, so...

Today's Zero content open thread is brought to you by The Fixx:

I really love that old-school turntable and cartridge. It looks just like the set-up I used to have when I was a young punk in college back in the 70s.

13 Syrian opposition: US must arm rebels despite Islamists Published: 07.01.12, 19:22 / Israel News Syria's opposition says the United States must overcome its fear of Islamists among the rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad, and start arming the resistance movement to show it wants the entire ruling elite removed. "We have been kissing the hand of the United States and the rest of the world for the 16 months to intervene. Now, after Assad spared no one in Syria, the United States is surprised that al-Qaeda may be operating in the country," veteran opposition campaigner Fawaz al-Tello said from Istanbul. (Reuters) Yeah Sure Why not, Arm the Islamists? I mean what could possibly go wrong?

27 Mary Richardson Kennedy had to scrounge for cash to pay for even the most basic needs in the last months of her life, according to new court filings. Â“Mary was left to sometimes ask for $20 from the parents of her kidsÂ’ classmates to buy gas and groceries,Â” a source close to Kennedy told The Post. The revelations come from a petition filed last week in SurrogateÂ’s Court in Westchester County by MaryÂ’s former divorce attorneys, who say Robert F. Kennedy Jr. failed to pay them a promised $278,000 in legal fees. They say RFK practiced a Â“scorched-earth litigation approachÂ” that left her cut off from a $20,000-a-month, court-approved credit card, leaving her unable to buy groceries, gas or even medical care for their son. Â“Somebody living in a fifth-floor walk-up in The Bronx with cash could do more than she could,Â” said the source. The troubled mother of four hanged herself on May 16 in a building on her Bedford estate. Her husband described her at her funeral as fighting Â“demons.Â”

39 I saw Romo in key games where I thought Mark Sanchez had snuck into a Cowboys uniform. The first game against the Jets was a total brainfart on Romo's part, and those two Giants games he went completely out to lunch. Romo racks up the pretty stats when they aren't all that significant.

Worse yet is that Jay Gutless is going to be in the top 10. Analysts always fall in love with the pretty arms

I'd rank the top 10 as:

Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Eli Manning, Roethlisberger, Stafford, Ryan, Newton, Rivers, Flacco

I can be easily argued out of all but the top 3

That first game against the Giants, the Cowboys had it sewn up and Romo couldn't stand the prosperity and handed the game back to the Giants.

53 I am told by two sources with specific knowledge of the courtÂ’s deliberations that Roberts initially sided with the conservatives in this case and was prepared to strike down the heart of this law, the so-called individual mandate, of course, that requires all Americans to buy insurance or pay a penalty. but Roberts, IÂ’m told by my sources, changed his views deciding to instead join with the liberals. He withstoodÂ–IÂ’m told by my sourcesÂ–a month-long desperate campaign by the conservative justices to bring him back to the fold and that campaign was led, ironically, by Justice Anthony Kennedy and why thatÂ’s ironic is because it was Justice Kennedy that conservatives feared would be the one most effort, of course, was unsuccessful, Roberts didnÂ’t budge, the conservatives wrote that astonishing joint dissent united in opposition and Roberts wrote the majority opinion with the four liberals to uphold the PresidentÂ’s signature achievement.

OTOH, I am so friggin' amused by the prudish comments coming from many our "better halves" (in the species) who spend half their time consuming pron. It's fine for virtually every single thing in the media to be geared towards titillating (ahem) men, but one soft-core pron book that makes it big for women is notable? Really?

Did you guys just see over at Breitbart that Google won't allow the sale of firearms or firearm accessories at their shopping sites anymore and they won't even display shopping results for them. This includes knives.

Not to make a bad pun, but talk about shooting yourself in the foot, Google. What next, ban the sale of candy? What about books you don't agree with?

5 Great Gifts to Send Obama in Lieu of Cash Contributions

http://tinyurl.com/7zhwhob

So instead of just sending him another dollar he'll forget to use, why not send him something that you've already received as a wedding or bat mitzvah or graduation or gag gift? Or something you've always wanted to send someone but never followed through on?

Here are five great ideas of gifts to send Barack Obama in lieu of cash.

Because only in the last 70 years have we let the government grow enough where it makes a huge impact. Before the New Deal the government was less than 10% of our GDP and while corrupt it wasn't big enough and the corruption was not a big enough part of it to make a difference.

That all has changed.

rightlysouther,

I was reading a story in the Seattle Times that unwittingly addressed the corruption in the government. They are increasing fishing regulations off our coast for commercial fisherman. You can argue both sides of that and that's fine.

What came out in the article though is that regarding permiting. The Nature Conservancy (which has never been in the fishing business) owns 12 of the limited number of permits. What's worse than that is that some former fishermen have decided to retire and retain their fishing permit leasing the tonnage out to other fisherman.

That is where government corruption kills industry and start ups. Why in the fuck that anyone should be allowed to own a permit that doesn't themselves use it can only be attributed to corruption. The well connected get control over fishing rights and then lease it out to those who will either pay them their juice or abide by their version of how fishing should be.

It's a damn travesty. Permits should only go to those who fucking use them.

You're right about the people but that is changing dramtically. The more people you get receiving government benefits and not having to pay for them (47%) the more difficult it is to change. We have a near majority that are free riders now, they pay no federal income tax but yet they recieve benefits paid for by that income tax. It's free money to them and they aren't going to vote to make that go away.

Posted by: robtr at July 01, 2012 10:31 AM (MtwBb)

I agree with your statement, robtr, so how do we go about altering the % of free riders? No sarcasm here, this is a serious question.

Ha, the courts and the legislature "define around it" here worse than Roberts. They now allow shopping at 1:30 pm except alcohol. That is not part of the "blue laws". That is an alcohol law. But you can sell alcohol at restaurants after 1:00 pm if you apply for (in advance) and pay a $200 license fee for each Sunday of sales, provided you are in a country of some unknown population or your voters approve it by referendum.

$200 per Sunday insures that only large places at major cities of the resorts can afford to do it.

The way I see it this election is probably the last chance and then it's a long shot if the republicans will man up and end this shit. If Obama wins that 47% will soon be 53 or 53% and then it will be impossible until it all fails.

133 I haven't read 50 Shades either (an excerpt on B&N aside), but after a discussion with a bunch of my women friends who have read it- the consensus is that the book's popularity has little to do w/ the BDSM aspect, but rather that the lead male character loves the female lead character intensely, and knows what to do in the sex dept. without having to be told how to do it. Judging from the sample I read, not worth the trouble b/c the writing is atrocious.
