Oh, man, it can't be December yet. I have things due in December.

I never understood why the states that just voted to decriminalize marijuana said they would seek federal guidance for what to do now. Before the vote, the feds said marijuana use and sale were still going to be illegal under federal law and that they'd still prosecute. What other guidance could there be? Anyway, Washington state isn't waiting for the feds anymore. Marijuana will officially be decriminalized under state law tomorrow.

Alanis Morissette visited Tel Aviv for a concert today. It provoked the type of measured response from Islamist and leftist scum that you've come to expect.

1 Good Morning Morons.  Today is Monday, December 03, 2012.  On this day in 1984 a cloud of deadly poison gas leaked from the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India, killing over 4,000 people.

8 Kindle Daily Deal:

Blood Safari

This first-class thriller features rich descriptions of South Africa and reflections of that country's painful history, from apartheid to the environment. These details supercharge the white-knuckled pace of a cross-country escape hard-boiled bodyguard Martin Lemmer and his beautiful client, Emma le Roux, are making from a group of paramilitary killers.


And thatÂ’s it for this slow Monday.

What they need to do is sue the Feds to get rid of the Federal law which is unconstitutional as hell. A fact that I told a federal judge when undergoing voir dire for a drug and gun trial.

NBC broadcaster Bob Costas used his halftime segment on ''Sunday Night Football'' to advocate for gun control following this weekend's murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, causing an immediate debate on social media.

In a segment about 90 seconds long, Costas paraphrased and quoted extensively from a piece by Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock.

After praising the column, Costas said: ''In the coming days, Jovan Belcher's actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe. If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.''




Because there's no possible way a 300 pound muscular man could kill a woman with as little as his bare hands....

14 On SSDI: In other words, many people are gaming or defrauding the system. This includes not only disability recipients but health care professionals, lawyers and others who run ads promising to get you disability benefits. Living not far from a major city, I can tell you that late night and mid-afternoon television is nothing but lawyer ads for this. "We get you benefits or you pay us nothing!" they scream. It's not just minorities that do this shit either. When my regular auto mechanic hired a guy on disability to help him hang over a fender all day, and hoist parts out of engines in his shop, he became my no-longer regular mechanic.

Oh goody, we're going to try this again:

Former GOP Rep. J.C. Watts says he is being “encouraged” by supporters to run for chairman of the Republican National Committee, a move he says could broaden the party’s appeal to minorities.

Watts complained that Republican efforts to reach out to minority groups have not been sustained or consistent during his 20-plus years as a politician ...and if the GOP doesnÂ’t dramatically improve its image with black and Hispanic voters, it will not be able to win back the White House.

Watts would not identify who is lobbying him to challenge Priebus, and reiterated that he has not made a decision to definitely jump into the race.

I don't see the auto mechanic being at fault for that.  I see the guy collecting and his doctor being to blame. 


My father in law had severe heart disease and it took him a long time to get SSDI and three court trips despite testimony from cardiologists saying he could not work. He died shortly after being OK'd for it.

If you are on SSDI, you are supposed to be fully and permanently disabled.

If you are working a job, it goes against the very purpose of the program. 

Either you can or you cannot work, you can't collect SSDI and work.

28 I don't see the auto mechanic being at fault for that. I see the guy collecting and his doctor being to blame. I'd call the mechanic an accessory to fraud. The guy on SSDI had a shiny new Corvette and lived in my town, which has an average home price of 500,000 plus. I'm not sure what the average healthy recipient steals but according to the fact sheet I get from SS every couple years, I could collect about 25k per year. Get a job 'off the books' and you're talking some serious tax-free money.

Dozens of Chinese mothers are giving birth to their babies in a house atop a hill in a wealthy neighborhood of Chino Hills, California - and they're paying thousands of dollars for the privilege.

Neighbors say the home is a 'maternity mansion,' a hotel where Chinese women stay for the last few months of their pregnancy so their children are born on American soil - and are therefore American citizens.

Experts say the practice is widespread and that authorities are nearly powerless to stop it. The 14th Amendment guarantees that any person born in the United States is an American citizen and is afforded all the rights granted by the Constitution.

52 7 HereÂ’s a subject we often talk about. SSDI fraud.


Several years ago, I suffered kidney failure due to a genetic kidney disease.  Once I went on dialysis, I was informed that I was eligible for Medicare to supplement my insurance.  I signed up for it.  During the process, Medicare informed me that I was also eligible for disability.  I declined since there was nothing preventing me from working.  They were very insistent that I consider signing up.  I kept refusing.  Finally, they told me that, if I ever changed my mind, I could just call them and they would get it started immediately.  I never have.

61 My parents owned a business in the inner city (north jersey) and during the weekday, just about half the men that came in were on disability.

This is nothing new in CA. Anyone who ever went through the large Asian areas in Los Angeles, or spent any time at the "International" terminal at LAX would be well aware that the illegal Asians are second only to the illegal Mexicans in total numbers, and have been for decades.

Of course there are a shitload of Canadians there illegally as well. I knew quite a few back in the days when I was married to -- and went through hoops getting a Green Card for -- a Canadian.

71 I used to have a business. Employees would come and go. Sometimes they would leave for another job and ended up getting laid off after a short time. So they'd apply for unemployment compensation, which would be charged against *my* business, raising the 'experience factor' on my UE costs and driving my costs up. The annual cost to the business for UE was half what I made every year. So I'd fight the case. One time my partner went to a hearing. The applicant -- who we knew damn well was working on the side shows up --his hands covered in automotive grease. Partner points out to hearing judge the condition of applicants hands. Former employee got shot down. But that was a different time, a different America.

74 54 -

You're right, I just looked it up.  It used to be a very nominal amount, until 1990 it was $300 a month.  For most of the 90's it was $500.  It has been steadily rising since then, and in 2013, for no-blind people it's over a $1000, and for blind people it's $1740.

In other words, more than a lot of people earn who are not at all disabled.

What a crock.

What a seriously retarded comment.  I don't give a flying fuck whether someone professes to be conservative, liberal, moron, or left-wing fucktard.

 

It's what they do that matters.  If you have a legitimate reason to be on disability, fine.  If not, you're a parasitic loser who should be billed the full amount paid (plus interest), fined, and jailed for fraud.

We had a rash of people "injuring their back" and going out on long term disability. The company hired a PI who followed them around taking pictures.
Needless to say that ended their little paid vacations.

But the government can't do that.

100 @Schrödinger's Cat, When I closed my restaurant, I gave my exec and sous chefs a decent severance package, even though I wasn't required to. The old exec went to do a private chef gig in British Columbia that he had done before for about $50K. Cash. He filed for unemployment benefits in Louisiana and was getting paid for over a year even though he wasn't living there anymore. Turns out you can file online from anywhere. No interview required. Fucking horseshit. I found out later that he and his old sous opened another joint in New Orleans. A year later, they were out of business. Welcome to the business world, motherfucker. And still I bet he hasn't learned a damn thing.

104 My sister lives in NJ and works at a small business that depends on hundreds mostly high school and college students for seasonal help. The Demotards in the NJ legislature voted to raise minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 and to have annual increases tied to the CPI. It's going to Governor Christie today. My sister thinks he will ok the wage increase (won't want to look like a racist meanie) but try to veto the annual increase. Between this, digging out from the hurricane and the coming disaster that is Obamacare, look for things in NJ to cost more and more small businesses to fold in the coming year. The idiot moron that sponsored this bill, actually said the following: "I do not believe it's going to shut our state down overnight. I do not believe businesses are going to flee our state. There are now more than 2.2 million people living in poverty in our state, and we have an obligation to do something about it." She also said that "low wage earners will spend this money giving the state's economy a shot in the arm". Just in case you are wondering, she is a Black, Democrat.

109 NBC broadcaster Bob Costas used his halftime segment on ''Sunday Night Football'' to advocate for gun control following this weekend's murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, causing an immediate debate on social media. In a segment about 90 seconds long, Costas paraphrased and quoted extensively from a piece by Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock. After praising the column, Costas said: ''In the coming days, Jovan Belcher's actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe. If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.'' He didn't say anything about Oldsmobiles, did he?

Fast forward through the shows and watch the commercials. A long time ago when the Centric brand was created, my Tivo recorded some "A Team" episodes. In one commercial block, there was a Hyundai commercial that took the full three minutes and was set up like a Ken Burns documentary segment with horrific pictures of this country's shamefully racist past and an interview with a young black man non-ironically equating 21st century America with '80s apartheid in South Africa.

159 I stand corrected. Dylan was always too subtle for me. In 1983, I was naive enough to think that enlightened civilization would never side with savages, and that made the lyrics seem a little over the top back then. A little over a dozen years later, right here in the USA, I saw ordinary-looking whitebread people holding up signs essentially in support of the pali suicide bombers. The demonstrators were on the grass outside the post office showing off for a long line of cars waiting to mail in federal tax returns. It felt like a punch to the gut to know that there are evil fuckers like these walking around *my* country and wasting *my* oxygen. Another little over a dozen years later, it's *their* country now. I pray every minute that they fucking choke on it.

Posted by: FRONT TOWARD LEFT at December 03, 2012 04:52 AM (V3kRK)

160 Must repost from last night: 284 Oh shit sorry, someone up the thread here said something like. "Reversing the Bush tax cuts would not come close to closing the deficit." With all respect: the marginal rate decreases enacted in 2001 and 2003, as every marginal rate decrease ever actually enacted, actually increased revenue to the treasury. From 2001 to 2008, revenues increased by over 50%. This is because when people keep more of their own money, they use it to grow the economy and therefore the tax base. Theoretically, there are decreases in marginal tax rates which would also decrease revenue- such as decreasing rates to near zero. But in the real world, based on evidence we actually have, revenue increases as marginal tax rates fall. So having "the rich" or any other group pay at a higher marginal rate would not only not close the deficit gap, but would likely increase the deficit as those who are taxed increasingly take their capital off the table, shrinking or regarding the growth of the tax base. Class warfare is not only morally wrong, but it is also economically wrong. And a second aside: the "Bush tax cuts" have been in effect for twelve years and were re-authorized by Democrats in 2010. They are no longer "tax cuts;" they are simply the current rates. *********** It is galling, it is enraging, when leftists mischaracterize our support for simple and low marginal tax rates as "greed" or as "protecting our friends on Wall Street." We should make the education of the Boo Boos about the fundamental nature of prosperity, a sound bite that we repeat at every opportunity. Additionally, we should tell anyone who will listen that Democrats want high taxes in order to destroy prosperity and kill poor minorities. Their racist tax policies, we ought to shout, are all about keeping minorities in chains like the KKK. See what democrats do whenever we attack one of them who is dark-skinned or has a vagina? They immediately jump over defending their actions to accusing us of racism or sexism. They don't even bother to stop to consider the accusation's truth value! We ought to do the same sort of thing on taxes. The only difference is, our position has the benefit of being demonstrably true, unlike anything they ever propose. At first they would ignore us. Then they would laugh at us. Then they would be frightened of us. Then we would win.

168 From the Examiner.

According to a Dec. 1 report by the Kansas City Star, friends say the fact she was out late after a Trey Songz concert Saturday night contributed to the fatal fallout.

A friend of Kasandra's claimed Jovan was mad at her for staying out with friends late. At one point in the evening he called her wanting to know when she'd be home. She arrived around 1 a.m. after drinking with friends and enjoying the concert. Seven hours after her fight with Jovan, the NFL player shot her. The two of them had a baby daughter just three months ago. The infant -- Zoey Michelle Belcher -- is now in her grandmother's custody.

Other friends of Kasandra Perkins emphasize that the 22-year-old cared about people a lot and was studying to be a schoolteacher. She was introduced to Jovan Belcher by the wife of another Chiefs player.


So the gun was the murder weapon, but the cause of the murder could have been:

A Trey Songz concert (pardon my age..WHO?)

Staying out late

Drinking with friends

Enjoying  a concert

Studying to be a schoolteacher.

Maybe there is a video that inflamed him to such hatred. We need to do a full investigation and get back to you later. We don't like to point fingers at the first thing we can think (hate) of.

I went on a whole Twitter diatribe yesterday about how stupid it is to blame the murder/suicide on the presence of a gun.  Frankly, if you are in the mindset to murder the mother of your 3mos old daughter, then you're in the mindset to do it regardless of what weapon      is available.

And, of course, they were Right. I just hope its as much a passing fad as the Romantics were.

I guess I'm curious as to the reason why he killed her. I know what you are saying, a toaster in the bathtub and we would ban toaster ownership. But, the first thing after this type of tragedy, they want to ban guns.
The first thing after Benghazi was, they wanted to ban the video that "caused" the massacre. THEN the gov decided that a long- slow -after- the elections investigation was needed.

So do we need to ban any of the list of things that were in the news article. I guess that was my point.

Yes, that does tend to be a liberal's response.  Liberals, since they believe in the "perfectibility of man" can't bear to think that a person might just do something evil.  There has to be a "reason" (such as being white, or Christian, or Jewish) or some thing has to be to blame.  Because, if people just do evil things because they just snap, or because they're (*gasp*) evil, then that whole "perfectibility of man" thing just goes away.  And then you have to consider the one thing Liberals absolutely will not consider- that Government isn't the answer to our problems.

231 some guys were assholes who killed women and children before there were guns, football, and roids. Some guys are evil.

He doesn't need to, he already works for NBC.

234 But I have a feeling after this warm spell it is going to get cold as hell.

---

Was talking to an old timer here in SC on Saturday about the warm early December we were having.  He said, you know what that means, don't you?  He went on to say it's an indication that we're going to get an extra cold winter. 

And as far as SSDI, by far one of the most egregious examples of misuse and fraud is the giant baby man.  The one who said he'd kill himself if he got his benefits cut off and could no longer go around in his self-made playpen and onsie sleepers.

235 Now that he has been “reunited” with his family, if that is the correct term, his niece in Maryland has welcomed him into her home. “Jeffrey has his own life,” says Alegra Hall, Kirk Hillman’s daughter, “and he has chosen that life, but he knows that our hearts and home are always open to him.”

That's an incredibly stupid idea.  As I've said previously, 95% of people who are homeless are homeless for a reason more extreme than    simply "I got kicked out of my house and lost my job."   More often than not they're suffering from some form of mental illness.  It's noble to want to help    family,   and since Mr. Hillman is active in the church I understand the urge,   but to invite that person into your home    after knowing nothing about them or their situation   for so long...  Let's just say I'd be cautious.    

 

If my sister or my brother-in-law were having money troubles, they know they could come stay with    us here in NH, no problem.  That's because we stay in touch with them;   we know them.      It sounds like this guy and his brother didn't talk more than once a year,   so the brother    can't possibly   know the full extent of his homeless brother's reasons for being on the street.   This quote makes me particularly wary:

 

So how did the brother of a college professor and a church administrator end up living on the streets of New York’s Times Square? A relative who asked to remain anonymous provides a possible answer. “He was always finding trouble,” the relative maintains, “he was a bit lost.”

 

Kirk Hillman and a third brother, Alfred, note that he always had difficulty holding down a job. The brothers were aware that Jeffrey declared bankruptcy in 1993 after a series of state tax liens in New Jersey. They had no idea, however, that his situation had become this dire.

 

Difficulty holding down a job.   Always finding trouble.   "A bit lost."  

 

I wish him and the rest of the family well, but I have my doubts that much good can come from this.

237 Costas quote at the end of his little rant referred to a case where a teenager at a gas station was asked to turn down his music blaring form his car by another patron getting gas. Instead, he turned it up and approached the other driver who shot him dead. New trayvon

238 How about its the man

Posted by: Thunderb at December 03, 2012 09:14 AM (Dnbau)

 

Absolutely it's the man.   He holds the blame, 100%.   My only reason for bringing up the steroids is that, thus far, I haven't heard a single person mention it.  Maybe I've missed the coverage, but seriously?   A football player kills his girlfriend and himself and it's not even MENTIONED?   Given that steroid use is pretty rampant in professional sports -- particularly strength-testing sports like football -- I'd say they pose a greater threat to the health and safety of players and their loved ones than does     gun ownership.

Sounds like she's doing very well at Uni!

 

I might be going through the same with my daughter when she moves to San Diego - she might stay and I think there might be a lot of travelling involved in our futures

 

My new grandson will probably end up with an American accent if he goes to school there in a few years

241 What is odd to me is that the mother of a 3 month old was even out by herself past midnight. Not to engage in victim blame bias... well actually, maybe just a tad. You couldn't pry my wife away from her babies for five minutes when they were that age. Probably the entire first year. It's a 'cultural' thing I guess.

245 Belcher didn't just murder his girlfriend, he shot her 9 fucking times.

Try repeating that a couple of times.

That would be 2 more times than the media.

I don't need the feelers and the regulators on the left to interpret the significance of that neat little statistic for me.

That type of overkill has nothing to do with gun violence.

It wasn't a brain injury, or steroids, it was a lifelong, socially enabled,  narcissist.

It's a good thing that no one like that can get elected.

I would guess that the guidance needed by the States from the Feds for their enactment of federally illegal drugs is on a par with the guidance needed by college students that borrowed money is expected to be paid back.

 

Seems to have been something of a shocker in both cases, bless their hearts.

When pot is legal, isn't it going to cost the state revenue? Any dumbass can grow it and they won't likely be spending as much money on taxed cigs and liquor.
