Republican Rep. Darrell Issa has threatened to subpoena the Department of Health and Human Services if it does not turn over documents by Thursday on a program (Medicare advantage bonus payments) he claims is being used to "buy" the election by hiding the effects of ObamaCare.
Personally I am ready for him to finish some of the other “investigations” he has going on.

Donna said she has been teased by family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Children have shoved printouts of deer crossing signs in her neighborhood and one day, a plastic life-size deer showed up on their front yard.
Well lady, sometimes feelings are accurate. No word if she was an Obama voter or not. (probably is)

Heart of Ice
When an inquisitive young reporter's body is found, the crime catches the attention of Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce, FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, and crime reporter Cassidy Shaw. They know the murderer is calculating and cold-blooded, but they donÂ’t know theyÂ’re already on a first-name basis with the killer.
And one last thing to get the hate and flames flowing. The list of the top 150 conservative websites that Maet linked to on the ONT. None of the first 7 are conservative. The daily beast is the same as LOS and The Hill is a Democrat PR rag. IÂ’ll link back to the ONT so you can look at it.

Exactly. That entire story was blown apart over a year ago. Some investigative types made numerous calls to numerous PP locations asking about getting a mammogram and they ALL said they don't do that. They don't even own the machinery to do so, much less have any technicians to administer. It makes me so angry listening to these stupid twat celebrities who go around making statements and commercials with their oh-so concerned faces and solemn voices about how these cancer screenings are going to be yanked away if a Republican gets elected.

Despite a large number of Romney yard signs, there are more and more for Choom Boy, as well as signs for Fauxcahontas Warren and other lib "superstars." Staggering stupidity is the daily diet around here.

No problem, Gabe. I could barely drag myself out of bed this morning. Nothing gets your day off to a worse start than getting up, showering, dressing and driving in to work and pulling into the parking lot still waiting for the sun to rise.
Hey, Mr Scribbler, where are you in MA? IÂ’m up in Bradford, near the NH border, so IÂ’m surrounded by Obama / Warren / Tierney signs. I like it, since I tell my wife it shows us which of our neighbors are morons (the bad kind).
HereÂ’s todayÂ’s story:
Without a smudge of black around his eyes, no mustache and no cane, Chaplin was not instantly recognizable and, during the early days of Hollywood, was able to walk around without anybody noticing him. So it happened that one day, as he was strolling along, he saw a man standing outside a movie theater looking at the poster for a Douglas Fairbanks movie.
Deciding to check out the competition, Chaplin asked the man, “Do you like him?”
“Like?” the man responded. “Are you kidding? He’s the funniest man I ever saw!”
Chaplin nodded to a poster advertising one of his movies. “Funnier than him?”
“Chaplin?” the man snorted. “This Fairbanks character leaves him in the dust. He’s like a shot of seltzer water, running and jumping and laughing all the time. Chaplin just hobbles around like an old lady. He’s old news. If I were him, I’d get out of the business.”
The Little Tramp glared. “I’m Chaplin.”
“I know you are,” the man laughed. “I’m Fairbanks.”
Sorry it's so short. I'll have a longer one tomorrow. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

I should have been more clear- I meant "free" ones. Yes, you can find that via phonebook (with calls until you find a clinic that offers them free), or via the Internet, but your local hospital (especially if its a county hospital) will usually have a list so you only have to make one phone call.

Chalk another one up for the public school system. My 10th grader took the LSAT yesterday with all other 10th graders. Prior to the test, the kids were all required to write out this statement that was given to them. It threw many kids into a tizzy when the statement had to be written out in cursive writing. He said some kids could barely write and it took them forever to write these couple of sentences in cursive. The teacher said, you kids should know how to cursive. That alone made me laugh. All the years my kid was in grade school, I kept wondering when they were going to teach him cursive (I learned in 2nd grade). They never did. I finally taught him myself when he was in 5th grade. Now, it looks like many kids getting close to graduating don't know how to do this very simple task.

Question for the in the know morons: Why is Planned Parenthood the ultimate sacred cow for the donks? It's not like they're the only place performing the ultimate donk sacrament; the godless communicants can get their shit and jizz from Karl Marx elsewhere. But anytime Planned Parenthood comes under attack they react like patriotic Americans did to 9/11. When Komen tried to seperate themselves from that ghoulish freak show, the donks dispatched all their usual idiots (including in Cleveland substance abusing and multiple DUI Zack Reed, who took a brief moment off from a.m. happy hours and cooch chasing to make a complete ass out of himself on the local news programs) to get people to shun the apostates until they saw the error of their ways.

I, too, learned cursive writing in 2nd grade. I haven't used it since 5th. Please show me one official form which says "Name: Please Use Cursive."
I have no problem with teaching kids cursive, but it's about as useful for most as learning calligraphy. If you want to teach them something useful that isn't printing, teach them shorthand.

I remember reading about Newsweek's plan to discontinue its print edition a couple months ago. Nice to see it finally coming to fruition. I'm intrigued to find out how they plan to continue business-wise, considering the only people who read Newsweek anymore are captive patients in doctor and dentist waiting rooms. Without a print edition to which to subscribe, those docs will just have to double their Highlights subscriptions. Bye bye any remaining revenue, Newsbleak!

I just left work and drove and drove. Ended up in Washington DC. Then I drove to NYC. I didn't tell anyone where I was and didn't answer my phone. That was pretty dumb. They thought I was dead. Now I'm probably gonna get fired tomorrow.

0bama won Ohio in 08 by 204,414 votes. In a year that left conservatives brushing their teeth every hour to try to get the bad taste out of their mouths.
Between a lack of enthusiasm for 0bama and Paul Ryan on the ticket, that 204,414 vote difference is a piece of cake. I look at it this way -- 103,000 stay home and at least 103,000 conservatives show up.

I can't speak for Allen, but as far as my schooling was concerned (I'm 33 next week) it was cursive all the way through elementary and middle school, but by high school they didn't care. When students would ask, "Shall we answer the test questions in cursive?" the teachers would invariably say, "Just make sure it's legible. It really doesn't matter."

The office of Sen. Charles Schumer, elected to serve as chairman of the 2013 Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, noted "this is the seventh time in U.S. history that the constitutionally mandated inauguration date has fallen on a Sunday."
"The last time was for President Ronald Reagan's second inauguration in 1985," said Schumer's office. "When this occurs, the public ceremonies traditionally are held on Monday."
The announcement added that Jan. 21 "is Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Looks like there will be a lot of people with a day off to help celebrate President Romney's Inauguration

Question for the in the know morons: Why is Planned Parenthood the ultimate sacred cow for the donks?
I've always been under the impression that, in addition to its being the one place where outright murder is encouraged, they do enough "good works" (counseling you to kill your baby, cough, cough) to effectively throw a curtain over their real purpose. Sort of like disguising the gas chambers as showers.
I'm just waiting for the day scientists identify the "gay gene." You think the Dems have snookered everybody with their rewriting of slavery? When they get finished with abortion, they'll have half the country convinced Reagan used to go to downtown DC with a coat hanger to personally rip babies out of the womb.

>>>Why is Planned Parenthood the ultimate sacred cow for the donks?
Oh, lots of reasons. One important one is the checkbox mentality of a lot of Libs - they have their one favored MSM outlet [NPR] and thats covered. Same thing here. They don't really want variety.
Secondly, its their baby [koff]. The whole staff is wall to wall Libs, with associated services like rape crisis and domestic violence counselors, advocates that run interference at the courts, etc.
Thirdly, it used to be a women-only zone. Not so much anymore, but that aspect was "empowering" or whatever.
Fourthly, its the Religious Cons that really sealed the deal when they went big with protesting at PP. Libs need enemies like, I dunno, Barry needs a hobby? A pink slip? something

Well, I, personally, had never bothered to get more than passable at it. I'm nearly a full generation behind you, BTW, so times do change (I'm not even ON your lawn. The sidewalk is not your lawn). But mostly because my 5th grade teacher didn't want to struggle through reading a bunch of poorly written cursive. By 6th grade, only the most dedicated to cursive were using it. By 8th we were virtually forbidden from using it on any homework that had to be turned in.
For the record, my parents (in their 60s) never write in cursive, either. Of course, my dad just uses hen-scratch. My mom mostly prints. If she wants something to look nice for some reason, she'll use cursive, and if she needs to be really fast she'll use shorthand.

A sketchy, threatening, drugged-out demeanor might also explain why none of the parents would get involved. Well, that and shock.

Yes, you read that headline correctly. I am a Las Vegas oddsmaker (and former Libertarian vice presidential candidate) and here's why I am so boldly predicting a Romney landslide.
In November of 2004, only days before the presidential election, I went on CNBC and predicted a Bush victory by 3 points and 30 electoral votes. Every poll at the time showed Kerry in the lead. Bush won by 3 and 35. Newsmax magazine called it the most accurate prediction of 2004.In October of 2006, I went on Fox News to predict the GOP would get slaughtered in the midterm election and lose Congress. They did.
snip~
IÂ’m predicting a 5 to 7 point popular vote victory. Electorally it wonÂ’t even be that close. Romney will win many states that went to Obama in 2008. IÂ’m predicting Romney victories in Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Virginia, Iowa, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Indiana. I predict a Romney victory by 100 to 120 electoral votes.

I don't have as good a read on that as I do on the presidential race, where I'm quite sure Romney will win. The Restraining Order has done a good job of convincing union humps that he's one of them and that could spell the difference especially in southern Ohio where the coal miners will be completely against the JEF as they were four years ago. Also even though I think Mandel's a smart guy, his "people" haven't run what I consider to be a good campaign. The Restraining Order is worried though because he is carpet bombing my television with ads.

Well, if by chance you're considering going to a Catholic Church, don't worry about what you wear. If the dress code was relaxed any more people would show up in their pajamas. Some people still dress nicely, but others look like they stole their clothing from the shopping cart of a homeless woman.

OK
1T dollars
310,000,000 people @15% poverty = 46,500,000 people in poverty
so that works out to....

Sherrod Brown's ex-wife took out a restraining order on him when there was some dustup regarding him picking up their children for divorced daddy day. Breitbart is the only group that reported on this because the rest of the MFM pretends it never happened. It might be an unfair shot because any delusional skeezer with a chip on her shoulder can do it but fuck that shit when it comes to Brown. He's one of the biggest hounds in the state; a lib friend of mine told me he banged more strange than any pol since Celeste and his lezzo ex-wife. Plus his current fatassed wife was one of the most annoying writers at the Plain Dealer with her weepy stories about "teh little people" that anybody with a functioning cortex just laughed about what a fucking tard she was. Finally Brown always sounds like he has a load of jizz stuck in the back of his throat.

My ex-boyfriend is Catholic and I used to attend mass with him. Imagine my surprise when this Baptist-raised gal walked in to see folks in jeans and t-shirts. It's not that I think God cares and it isn't really that I cared, but when he got snotty about how Baptists get dressed to the hilt in order to show off, I set him straight.
We get dressed the best we can afford because it is an occasion. It is because it is an event for which we prepare. It is a show of respect and most will never judge someone if their best is jeans, but my best is not jeans.
He admitted that he had never thought of it that way and the next week, he work a b*azer to mass.
The next Easter, when we arrived at a new church and saw teens in mini-skirts and shorts, we decided that it might not be the best place for us.

I'm just East of Gloucester (and there's only one town East of Gloucester; the rest is ocean). Some people call it "Rockport."
My 88 year-old barber, who has lived here for 60-plus years, tells me this area used to be heavily conservative. Ummmmm, yeah....
That said, I would estimate that Choom Boy will get about 1500 of the 2500 votes that will be cast here, and Rmoney will get the rest. There are still some
But at least Rockport is Vermin Supreme's home town! (Even if they do misspell his name in the town directory)

Ooh, hontoni? I didn't know that! I always used to joke that my initials were the same as "Measles, Mumps and Rubella," but someone coughed and the M in "mumps" became a W.
Hey, I never said I was good at jokes, okay? You're talking to the girl who loves puns.

Best line from the AP story:
"Brown said that the online publication will be called Newsweek Global and will be a single, worldwide edition that requires a paid subscription. It will be available for tablets and online reading, with certain content available on The Daily Beast website.
"We are transitioning Newsweek, not saying goodbye to it," she said.
So, you're taking one of the worst-performing print publications in the country, making it "global", and putting it behind a paywall?
Teh stupid, it burnzzzzzz......

You nigh also try the Gap, but keep in mind that their denim has a bit of a looser weave and thus shrinks a bit when washed, so buy pre-washed.

Hey, Joffen, welcome to the party, pal!
I forget what date my first wife filed for divorce, but I remember I got served with the papers. This sheriff's deputy knocked on my door and I asked him what he had for me
"Divorce papers. Sorry, buddy."
"Outstanding. It's my birthday, you know."
"HAHAHA! Hey, sorry, but that's pretty fucked up, man."
Seriously, you'll laugh at the sheer fuckyouishness of the whole thing a few years from now. Relax, Joffen. There's no more alternative outcomes to consider. Now you can start getting used to the idea that you're not going to be married anymore, and it gets a LOT easier from that point on.

So it seems the jobless numbers missing last week were from California, in "applications that were delayed" or somesuch hokum.
That's what happens when your gas stations keep running out of gas. The guy who delivers the greenbars to the employment office gets stuck in line at the pump and doesn't get to his destination till after the numbers have been published.
I don't know why I assume they use greenbars in California. It just seems to fit somehow. Probably all the douchey hipsters.

Dillards has four levels of stores, starting with rather basic stores and topping out with Saks levels of service and designers and we're fortunate to have one her in Jax.

The Brown and Warren signs seem to be about equal in number in my part of the state. Two recent observations, though, along a route I drive frequently:
1) Nearly every single house with a Brown sign also displays an American flag. Not so much for the Warren households.
2) The morning after the 2nd debate, I noticed that one of the Brown houses had added a Romney-Ryan sign to their yard.

OK, some recommendations - for Keaton, I think nothing's funnier than The General. But also check out The Best Keaton / Arbuckle Collection for some early BK (both available on Amazon). On YouTube, call up The Railrodder, Keaton's last short; he plays The Great Stone Face traveling on a railroad inspection car all the way across Canada. No dialogue, natch.
I'm not a big Laurel & Hardy fan, but check out the 2 volume Stan Laurel Collection from Kino International for his early pre-Ollie work (also on Amazon).
