Happy Monday.

This story amused me greatly.

Senate Democrats will hold a "talkathon" on global warming tonight into tomorrow. No doubt they're desperate for some media coverage on anything other than the economy, Obamacare, national security, and foreign policy.

Poll: a Democratic firm finds (PDF) Rep. Cotton up over Sen. Pryor 51-42% among definite voters. 46-46% among likelies.

Obamacare will accelerate income inequality, says . . . union.

Morning, all.   To repeat what I said at the end of last thread,  I've really got to stop reading the weekend threads to see what I missed. Ashleigh Banfield strapping on her kneepads got my BP soaring just when I don't need it.

 

Anyway, morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.

 

In a sentence that only makes sense at the HQ, the Dildo asked me a question last week, in regards to the Rowan Farrow brouhaha:  just who did Frank Sinatra sleep with?  Frankly, I said that it would be easier to say whom he didnÂ’t bed – Shirley MacLaine comes to mind, as does Nancy Reagan* - but IÂ’ll do my best.

 

Excluding Vegas showgirls, hookers, B-girls and his wives Nancy Barbaro, Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow** and Barbara Marx, hereÂ’s as much of a list as I can come up with.  Whether Frank actually bedded all of these women or, as in the case of Juliet Prowse, likely only had a good friendship with them, is something I canÂ’t say:

 

Patty Andrews (of the Andrews Sisters)

Lauren Bacall

Eva Bartok (starred with Dino in Ten Thousand Bedrooms)

Doris Day

Judy Garland

Angie Dickinson

Marlene Dietrich

Jacqueline Kennedy

Judith Campbell (mistress to mobster Sam Giancana)

Jacqueline Bisset

Anita Ekberg

Zsa Zsa Gabor

Pamela Harriman

Jill St. John

Hope Lange (starred in TVs The Ghost and Mrs. Muir)

Evelyn Keyes (Suellen in Gone With the Wind)

Sophia Loren

Sue Lyon (Lolita)

Shirley MacLaine

Marilyn Maxwell (longtime mistress of Bob Hope)

Marilyn Monroe

Kim Novak

Victoria Principal

Dorothy Provine

Juliet Prowse

Debbie Reynolds

Princess Soraya (ex-wife of the Shah of Iran)

Elizabeth Taylor

Lana Turner

Gloria Vanderbilt

Tuesday Weld

Natalie Wood

 

ThereÂ’s a famous story that when Frank joined MGM, he tacked up a list of stars whom he wanted to sleep with; when he left the studio, he had supposedly completed the list.  IÂ’ve never seen who was on it, though.

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

 

*MacLaine, who starred with the Rat Pack in OceanÂ’s Eleven, was regarded as their mascot; none of the boys ever made a move on her.

 

**when Gardner heard of The Chairman’s engagement to the elfin Farrow, she sneered, “I always knew Frank would end up in bed with a little boy.”

I thought that was Harry Reid. Well, my dad and men of his generation hated him because while they were out getting their asses shot off by the Krauts and the Nips, he was back in America singing and getting laid. All was forgiven (at least with my dad) later as Frank was a huge supporter of the state of Israel all his life.

14 Law prof Jonathan Turley, the same fellow who wanted to prosecute Bush admin people for war crimes is at least a consistent thinker. In the LAT opinion section yesterday he warned Democrats they aren't going to like this all-powerful presidency Barack Obama is building, once a Republican is in office. He is careful to say in his piece that TFG is "not a tyrant", because, obviously, only a Republican can be a tyrant. So shut up.

23 And here we are trying to restore the republic and the rule of law, via the rule of law, against a party/movement and government bureaucracy that are doing all they can by every means at their disposal to destroy it. And if by some miracle we do restore America as founded, they will still be there trying to undermine us from within. I can now understand why Pinochet dropped a few thousand miscreants from helicopters.

37 So Robert Gates (nice Old English Clark Collar btw) says give Obama a break for playing golf while the Crimea is gone. Then he says all the presidents go off on their little trips. Then something about GHWB and fishing. But GWB gave up golf because he felt it was important enough to respect the people and not look like he was having a good 'ole time while people and soldiers were suffering. Yet the image is that GWB was on vacation during his entire presidency. And While FROTUS is actually on vacation during his whole time in office, the press sounds like the Real Time audience when Bill Maher is trying to sound smart. What does it say about a man who plays that much golf and still really sucks at it? To me it says he's not really much of an athlete, so that was a lie. So maybe, just maybe, his huge throbbing IQ, is really a tiny flaccid little flap of intellectual skin.

Just listened to the 'amnesty podcast'.

 

That clown you guys had on threw out every single democrat talking point I've ever heard.

 

I also thought it was interesting that he said he was concerned about 'government choking off immigration' instead of 'the market'.

 

The problem is that he doesn't really understand that we're ok with government controls on immigration because THAT is one of the functions that government is LEGITIMATELY supposed to do.

 

Why doesn't he understand it? Because he isn't a conservative, even though he pretends to be.

 

He trotted out all the lies that Heather McDonald has debunked, and tries to claim it will increase GDP (via CBO...what were the inputs please?), but doesn't tell us what the COST would be - which would be much more than any increase in GDP.

I'm disappointed that you guys let him try to get away with conflating ILLEGAL immigrants with LEGAL immigrants. The fact is, the amnesty debate and immigration debate isn't really about LEGAL immigrants, it's about all the ILLEGAL immigrants.

 

To top it off, he tries to use the fact that we aren't enforcing the border and we aren't punishing people who break immigration law as proof that we can't control the border.

His problem is he is a 'hispanic' FIRST, then MAYBE an American when it is convenient. He doesn't seem to understand that previous waves of immigrants wanted to be AMERICANS first and intentionally left behind their home countries and adopted AMERICAN culture. They didn't demand 'Cinco de Mayo' celebrations or everything printed in Spanish, and they didn't demand WELFARE.

47  @14  1st you would have to elect an ideological republican, 2nd you would have to silence the media and the democrat party.  So since that's not going to happen you don't have to worry about a republican riding roughshod over the constitution to push his policy preferences.  Remember this is the party who has a senate minority leader who said the first order of business is to restore the filibuster rules the majority altered to ram judicial appointments through and is as we speak contemplating elimonating it all together. This is a party who's leaders are seriously contemplating legeslation that would give its opponents up to 30 million extra votes.

Exactly, MPPPP.  Setting a precedent is all well and good and it's fun to speculate that they'll get theirs when (if) the next Republican is in the WH...but as always seems to be the case, the D's are the party of the utterly ruthless.  The R's will always do "what's right," without regard to what's been done to them. They'd bring water pistols to the OK Corral and hand out towels to the other side.

(Luke 11:3) Dear God, what is the bread, Is it not only the physical sustenance that in Your providence you give us for the necessities of life, but it also the nourishment of truth that you give daily to our souls. That kind of bread nourishes us to eternal life. It makes our souls grow and become robust when faith is tested. Every day, you renew this bread. Both inwardly and outwardly, you give our souls precisely what we need to continue in our life of faith and self denial. All I have yo do is eat this bread, and in a spirit of sacrifice receive all the bitter tasting things you send my way-both in outward matters and in the depths of my heart. Indeed, what happens to me in the course of each day is my daily bread-provided I do not refuse to take it from your hand and feed on it. Francois Fenelon-Meditations on The Heart of God.

75 I am really warming up to Levins' idea of an article 5 convention. It is becoming clear that it is the only way to halt the progress of an over reaching federal government.

Even if the Republicans became a real opposition party, they still would work within the construct of the government as it exists, which is out of control and dangerous to liberty, no matter who is in charge of it.

112 I've heard calls for an Art V convention since the mid-60's, but I've never heard a proposal from the conservative side of what we thought we wanted in the "new constitution." Maybe you'd like to float an amendment first, stating "And we really mean it," just to test the waters a little?

The Other Side knows exactly what they will bring up: the entire contents of Leviathan's gut, plus the kitchen sink. Every whiff of the camel's nose under the tent hem you've ever smelt, in full. Remember how ACA somehow got written in about 48 hours, over 1200 pages of it? Well those progressive desk drawers have been loaded with Living, Breathing Complete Projects for a hundred years. They're ready.

Let's say we somehow survive an Art V, and don't vote in the new soviet man. It will still stand as our Vatican II -- a bunch of stuff that came no closer to adoption than being read into the record, yet creeping into the whole institution as a "spirit" mission. In the Spirit of Vatican II. In the Spirit of Article V.

Just exactly what the hell is it we want from an Art V? If we can't compel our current institutions to follow the form we have now, what do we suppose the New Form would look like?

The past 50-100 years have been a de-facto "runaway convention." The Article V process is about preserving the spirit, letter and intent of the Constitution as it was written and conceived. And there are a number of safeguards built into the process to prevent a "runaway convention." And it's not a constitutional convention. It's an assembly of states for the purposes of proposing amendments to the constitution outside of the bi-cameral process; the one that got us into this mess since 1913.

Because they can?

A lot of people go for the "cutting-edge stuff," the avant-garde and the things-most-people-wouldn't-do because it's different. The actual content means nothing to them; they are "pushing the envelope."

Not that no one is actually pushing anti-Christianity, pro-Muzzie messages. They are. But a lot of people are just following along for the sensation, not the actual message.

Do you see a second amendment remaining after a few years more of what's happening now? I mean that as a serious question, not as snark. Either way, I really don't see 100M+ gun owners just turning in their arms.

If there is a better way, then I am begging to hear it. The founders created a means by which the States (and the people) can bypass Congress to amend the Constitution. Again, not to sound snarky, but if we agree that the founders were wise and prescient in creating a constitutional republic, then perhaps we should follow their avenues of redress, or at least try.

The alternative to that, I fear, is not going to be pretty.

119 Well, the group is really fun. I did get a laugh when an older man presented a play with a theme based on Greek literature and then the woman made her comment about her play and some woman originally from India said, "Now that is what I think of as drama. stylized language. I don't think I'd really appreciate this new stuff with that kind of language." The 'trendy" playwright said sweetly, "Well, then, you better not be in my play." Fortunately, she didn't ask me either. :^)

Gemma Worrall, 20, from Blackpool, tweeted about 'Barraco Barner' being Britain's President. Within 12 hours, her comment had been retweeted almost 7,000 times. In the immediate aftermath of her tweet, she says she found the whole thing hilarious. But now, stunned by the global reaction, she says she feels responsible for the detrimental effect it is having on her family. Gemma, a receptionist at a beauty salon in the seaside town, was quick to point out that politics is not her strong suit.

205 One minor point involving daylight savings time: make sure the clock on your digital camera(s) are correct. The computer in the camera uses the time of day to set the 'daylight' white balance, and the colors will be off if the clock is wrong. Particularly important to travelers to have the right local time - or the pictures will come out poorly.

206 It would be a great opening sequence for a James Bond film, no? It's in the book: in the early pages of Goldfinger, Bond is musing out the window of a BOAC flight, thinking how small the holes in the sand would be if the airliner disintegrated. And that was ripped right from the headlines, as the DeHavilland Comets all started to do that. Very little horror going on now that Fleming didn't have a whiff of.

We are seriously facing a new ATC system in which there will be no master radar, and each aircraft will just report itself by transponder and GPS. I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong.

I'm still chewing on the notion of that flight being over the most disputed waters in the world, with at least five missile-bearing powers afloat on them. Had the civilian transponder ceased to function, through some unlikely kind of error or failure, or a deliberate disabling as is sometimes part of a highjacking, AA missile firing might have been virtually automatic. We shot one down once.

211 I'm sure my fellow Morons will be shocked by this:


Romney Donors Like Jeb for President in 2016

Mitt Romney raised more than $1.1 billion in his 2012 campaign, and Jeb Bush is the potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate most likely to enjoy support from his donors.

"Every single Romney donor we spoke with this week listed the former Florida governor as their top choice," Wesley Lowery wrote in The Washington Post.

"The donors said that, like Romney, Bush's time as governor proved he can be an effective leader and manager."

Romney donors also consider Bush the most electable of the potential GOP candidates, which the donors believe is the most important asset for a candidate.

"If Jeb Bush is in the race, he clears the field," one major Romney donor told Lowery. "The natural inclination for Mitt supporters would be to gravitate toward Jeb Bush because he's a candidate that can win a national race."

Bush hasn't made up his mind on a White House bid, and has said he will decide later this year, according to The Wall Street Journal.

As for other potential candidates, one Romney donor told Lowery that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is "a name to watch," and another said Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan "should run."

A Massachusetts donor said that if Bush does not run, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul would be his top choice.

But a Romney fundraiser commenting on a possible run by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said "there is a question of Christie's electability."

231 Mornin' Horde. I hate DST. When Cavil's Khanate begins its reign of terror ire, it's going to be the first thing gone, and its proponents will be tossed out the windows of high buildings with clocks shoved up their poo-holes. Anyhoo. A friend had one of the more...amusing...theories about the missing airliner, based on the stolen passports...they'd all turn out to be bogus, and the plane was en route to a crook convention! (I doubt it strongly, natch, but airliners have been known to disappear and show up in various places before...) Oh well, we take our chuckles where we may.

If Baracknahten I should end his days without legitimate male issue, does the succession revert to the collateral branch? That'll be in the Art V Convention...

233 Heh...I see on Drudge that Kim Jong Un has won re-election with 100% of the vote. 105 glorious percent, capitalist shortchanging dog.

235 The weather was fine at the time of the disappearance and it still is, I find it remarkable that they haven't found a single suitcase or seat cushion.

So this happened.

 

Two Wylie (TX) Teens Arrested for Murder of Classmate

CBS-DFW: http://tinyurl.com/qxuh9oz

 

COLLIN COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) - Two teenagers who attend Wylie East High School have been arrested and charged with the murder of a fellow classmate.

 

When the two teens approached the car, officers asked what they were doing. One of the teens replied “burying a body,” according to Wylie police.

 

Officer then detained the teen males and waited for backup to arrive.

 

Police cordoned off the ares   they believed the body would be located. A search of the area led authorities to the body of a 17-year-old, who has been identified as Ivan Mejia of Wylie.

 


Both arrested suspects are 16-year-old males. Their names will likely not be released as they are considered juveniles by the state...

 

 

It's ghoulish, but I want to know what the backstory is here.  What possesses two sixteen year olds to kill a classmate?     Dear God.

You really think 38 state Governors would vote to repeal the Second Amendment?

Um.  Someone got John Roberts to call Obamacare a tax.  I'm not sure I'd bet the Constitution on the inability of liberals to get to people.

241 231 -- Vlad -- given the way this incident is going down, it's not that far-fetched an idea to start examining the passenger list to see who'd be worth abducting.

Stranger and stranger by the hour...

244 What possesses two sixteen year olds to kill a classmate? Dear God. —MWR Meh, folks been killing folks for nothing since Cain. His is the incomprehensible part: "When the two teens approached the car, officers asked what they were doing. One of the teens replied 'burying a body....'" I mean, it could work. You'll recall Mark Twain's best way to lie was, tell the whole truth, but tell it so unconvincingly no one believes you. I think that teen was doing it wrong. "Hahaha, no, really, just digging up fishbait, officer!" "Ho, ho! Okay, boys, be sure to 'cover the grave' when you're done!" (Drives off)

248 So the Democrats in the Senate will hold an all night pajama party talking about "global warming"---and will release 100 tons of hot air into the atmosphere.

249 I'll run naked in the streets if someone is supposed to run naked in the streets. It's empowering. Posted by: Sandra Fluck at March 10, 2014 07:12 AM (Cjjf6) Hon, please, no. It isn't so much the thought of you running naked, it's the sight of your uterus swinging in the breeze while you do so.
