— Gabriel Malor Happy Thursday.
The news this morning is dominated by Obama's big flip-flop evolution, and I couldn't really give a damn. So how about a music video instead? Here, a cover from some of my favorite YouTubers:

Perhaps we need an amendment that says only the people who voted for current occupants will be held accountable. Or better yet, an amendment that office holders are held accountable. And what should Sheriff Joe do in the meantime? What I would like to see is one of these States tell Holder, and other departments under this crooked administration, that they have no authority and to stick it up their crooked lying asses.
One other thought, an amendment prohibiting any body of government for using tort law fr anything but contract violations.

"those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf."
The answer from his chief press agent liar will be something to the order of "he misspoke". Of course he did, but it was certainly a Freudian slip from this disgusting piece of shit. That is the way pharaoh Obama really feels.
As for his position on gay marriage, in reality he opposes it. Muslims believe that gays should be hanged from the derricks of extended crane booms.

Will Black Voters Punish Obama for His Support of Gay Rights?
Answer: No, they will still vote 96% for him. However, I suspect that there will not be another flood of black voters as there was in 2008. And it will not be because of "gay" stuff. It will be because a damn lot of them are pissed off about all the rest of his communist shit. The Peggy Moocher crowd normally does not vote and 2008 was probably an aberration.

The MFM is banging it like it's the end of WW2. Last night on NBC nightly news, Brian "Countdown to Coming out of the Closet" Williams devoted at least a quarter of the news to this obvious pandering to open up the FudgePACs. Even my wife, who like a fucking idiot voted for the grifter in chief, said it's a distraction from all his mistakes.

Thanks guys. Its the daily drive to the city for wife's rad treatments that are aggravating now. That damn drive is always a POS, but this week it has been torture due to the race at Darlington this week as the main highway goes right by the race track.
You would think race fans would know how to drive. Alas, such is not the case. Guy from Ontario decided to park his RV in the middle of the highway yesterday.

Barack didn't "misspeak" -- the terms are "on my behalf" and "at my behest."
So he didn't simply screw up by using the wrong word.

A big factor in his loss was his age. I don't know how many older people I heard on the local talk radio indignant that he was still in Washington when he should have retired. 80 is just too old to be running for another term.
Also, although Mourdock had tea party support, he also had the support of 80 of the 92 country chairmen before he ever declared. Those would be the party regulars. So Mourdock did a good job of uniting both tea party and establishment people.

I have worked with these kind of people in Si valley, and i know how they work. They are liberals. they are the kind of people that think they are smarter, better informed, and more analytical than you. they are the kind of people that drive their cars into the ocean because the GPS said so.
The wired article made the think about the GM (gay marriage) situation. I am sure this was AB tested. In fact, i think half the stupid stuff biden says is just test marketing with plausible deniability. If it sounds stupid, blame it on Joe. the loose cannon. In fact, i think the press leaks that joe forced his hand was another "heavily lawyered" way to blame others if it blew up on him.
My guess is that this was seen as a good way to change the subject and not talk about jobs for another week. 24 more topics like this and it will be November. It was probably also seen as a way to differentiate himself from Romney, and make Romney look as old and hackneyed as Anita Dunn's little red book. It also took some heat off the "flexibility" problem, since everyone knew he was going to evolve anyway. Finally, GM is all about symbolism since there are a lot of easier ways to get the same benefits (seriously, legislative action so you can visit your bf in the hospital. why does the hospital even ask the relationship of your visitors? that should be illegal if anything is.) but the symbolism is what mattered and that only came if he come out.

Biden's "gaffe" on MTP was taped on Friday. They had two days to be "blindsided". Make no mistake, Axelturf completely choreographed this with his buddies in the MFM.
Watch Jake Tapper very closely. I don't know how he has this rep as being a "crusader for the truth". He NEVER challenges things of any substance. He is Axelturf's main poodle. Those two are very, very close. They are practically engaged.

I disagree. The only thing that will get blacks to the polls in large numbers is racial animosity. Which is right in O'Fucktard's wheelhouse. I've been reading his first book - EVERYTHING is about race.
Besides, what else is he going to run on, his record? This motherfucker is going to make Ray Nagin's Chocolate City speech look tame by comparison.

Partially true, but I think the other part is a desire to continue the welfare state gravy train. Peripheral issues like GM may rile up the preachers, but ultimately, it's about who is most likely to continue providing the free goodies.

I decided early on that I wasn't going to be pressured into this fad. Even the checkers at the grocery store think they are filthy and the ones that know me make faces to me when they are handed them by someone else. Some have started wearing gloves for this reason.
Then I hear, "And you can wash them." OK, so how is my using a "reuseable bag" and then having to run a load of wash to decontaminate it "help" the environment? Why not get a paper bag? Save the trees? The trees are planted to be harvested, duh. The whole thing is stupid. Or recycle plastic.

I think you give them too much credit. They aren't 10' tall. If you were choreographing something like this, you wouldn't do it by putting yourself in a position where you look like you're only doing it because you were politically trapped by your own veep and your own words.
It may be a distraction, but a few more distractions like this and they will be fatally damaged, if they aren't already.
Romney can wait with the big gun issues until closer to the election. Right now, he is letting the O campaign do his work for him for free, and he isn't wearing out his welcome with the electorate, who will be heartily sick of ALL politicians come November.

US Real Estate market is already owned to a massive degree by the Chinese.
WTF, as if the buy-out isn't bad news opening further Chinese banking access stateside, Yahoo references the Federal Reserve as the US Government. Cutting the Fed's open access to printing/inflating the dollar/economy matters more than most politicians dare mention. And regardless of nationality, Repo Men don't have taxpayers' best interests at heart.
Everyone better protect the fine print of their mortgages as banks again go through the flux of being bought/resold this decade. Fighting for contract law up against global financiers is hardly "affordable", and not reasonable to be forced to do when in the right.

About the only guys who wouldn't have been "involved in anti-gay bullying" then were either gay themselves, or the geeks/nerds/outcasts- because they needed all the friends they could get. Especially by today's standards, where simply saying, "That's gay," is considered hate-speech.

Why are we paying anything for IXB? Even for "the IG and IT security?" If they're "self funded" they can handle their own crap. They're not self funded (remember, money is fungible), because they only exist because the government established them.
If Boeing wants to compete with Airbus, maybe Boeing needs to, I dunno- compete.

Except I think that WVU is probably more in line with most of the nation, like the counties outside the cities in NC, than Georgetown is. Hell, if Obama had come out pro-gay marriage before the WV primary vote, the inmate would have won. Weirdly, and Duke was like this too, WVU is FULL of New Jersey kids. I would never have thought that would be true but there is a giant Guido/Jewish Jersey contingent. I still think combining Guidos and Rednecks is dangerous but hey.....

Not true. I have worked very closely with people in AMR and Southwest Airlines. As a rule, the airline industry hates Airbus. I mean: deep despite. The only reason Airbus can compete is Europe's intervention.
The guys at Southwest (who, I think, own just a few Airbus jets) have said that if Boeing alone could really meet their demand, they'd never buy from Airbus.

There is something to be said for having multiple vendors for your primary tool. Relying on just one manufacturer can be potentially costly.
I worked at UPS for a long time, and we always bought tractors from a few different manufacturers. If one went out of business we would take a hit, but it wouldn't idle the entire fleet.

Because of the short time frame between the primary (2 days ago) and the Recall election itself (June 5), ballots will not be printed and available till May 18, since the election will not be certified until the 17th.
That means that ballots WILL NOT be able to be sent out to Military personnel deployed overseas in time for the recall.
My son and every Wisconsin soldier who serves with him, and everyone who serves in any other military base around the world - WILL NOT be able to vote in the recall!
The military is being disenfranchised once again thanks to the Democrats who are always yammering on and on about the Republicans wanting to disenfranchise people.

True. Except when the only other available vendor supplies a product your customers hate and their customer service sucks.
that's here. EXIM is in the fight for the overseas sales. Where AIRBUS can have French diplomats deliver suitcases of cash to the local Aviation minister.
Sure they can. And they do. And airlines over-seas still pick Boeing. Airbus misses delivery dates because they suck. Boeing misses delivery dates because they can't keep up with demand.
I just don't think EXIM is doing as much good as advertized.

Unlike the affluent guilty-white professorial clique in Moonbatville TX, Austin university kids are voting against Obama. But not for Mittens. Even in Republican Bushland, A&M Aggie students support Ron Paul's conservative Constitutional Republic agenda.
The Joker mask came off only to expose The Joker. Even FDR staunch defender of organized labor Webster Tarpley has never had anything good to report regarding Obama. Along with Tarpley and Chris Hedges, the honest scholars professing compassionate socialism for big government have not been behind Obama, having persistently exposed Obama's fraud since his '08 campaign MUCH BETTER than any Republican (McCain!) effort.
College kids are disgusted with Obama's economic fraud, squandering trillions of dollars on friends. Angry about inflation and unemployment, those kids who get a job note their high taxation regardless of Obama's hype promising relief, and the countless MORE WARS than Bush, heading towards the draft, not to mention being sexually molested every trip by TSA jackasses.
What kind of an idiot bases his entire premise on dominating racial supremacy, particularly when not in the population majority? Obama's THAT one.

Yes - here is the link to the notice I got this morning. The problem is the State Constitution requires that a recall primary be held 6 weeks after a recall is approved, and that the election itself must be held not 4 weeks after that. That leaves very little time for certification of the primary vote, printing of the ballot, mailing absentee ballots out, and receiving them back in time.

That sucks. But that's also the law- so I'm not sure what the GAB could do.
What would be good, is if all the candidates (including the losing candidates) all sent certified letters to the GAB saying "This is the result, we're okay with it, let's get those ballots out," and then the GAB turning around and certifying.
But that won't happen. I'm not even completely sure it should, despite how much that sucks for your son and his buddies.
I'm not sure what else there is to do. Even if you could get it heard in Federal Court, the Federal Courts have no say in how internal elections are held, and this is something that's in the WI Constitution.

Actuarily, the oldsters are the obvious drain on the system. Obamacare will work just find and be fiscally sound once the IPAB gets around to regulating a total absence of care for anyone either not a registered and voting Democrat, not paying taxes, or working and paying lots of taxes. The elderly, the infirm, anyone not adjudged to have a great quality of life, certain genetic strains, can simply be removed from the constraints of the health care system. We call it the final health care solution.

Everyone. HUGE NEWS. Forget Obama's "evolution" on gay marriage. Forget Putin thumbing his nose at the US. Forget Chinese banks setting up shop on American shores. That's all immaterial. THIS is the really big news.
Via the Boston Herald: http://tiny.cc/gkh3dw
President Obama snubbing the Vineyard this summer (!!!)
Unbook the tee times and cancel the cocktail soirees. Because word from the Beltway is that President Obama will not return to MarthaÂ’s Vineyard this summer for his annual canoodle with the Beautiful People.
Not that this is exactly shocking news. Because it is, of course, an election year. Which means that instead of playing 18 with deep-pocketed donors, sipping cocktails with Masters of the Universe and shooting hoops on his private court, Barry will be shaking hands and kissing babies with peons in the swing states.
...
Of course, with the economy still pretty much in the toilet and unemployment rampant, it would not be good for the prezÂ’s poll numbers for him to be hitting the links at the private club in Edgartown, where initiation fees ran as high as $500G at one time. That would just tee off struggling Americans who will head to the voting booths three months later!
Our beloved Preznit is foregoing his much deserved vacation time, everyone. OMG, my entire opinion of him has changed. He really DOES care about the 'little guy.' Nixing his annual vacation to the playground of the rich and richer proves that Obama's an everyman, unlike Mitt Romney, and we should give him our full support!

Try to look on the bright side. When Obama is tossed out of office on his (enormous) ear, you can send your sister a smug email full of genuinely righteous gloating, and send her responding emails to the spam folder.
Or you can just save up your frustration until the next family get-together, at which point you can smack her over the head with your purse. I recommend the latter, personally.

It's just a financial instrument, not a reflection of you. And there is a small advantage to you if your mortgage is being traded: the chance that the paperwork is screwed up in the unlikely event of foreclosure is much greater among mortgages that have been traded. And screwed up paperwork means lots of delays and a possible failure of the foreclosure in court.

Was surprised to hear a very lengthy story this morning on NPR about all the college grads who can't find jobs, or are working crappy minimum-wage service jobs and living with their parents because they have $800 a month in student loans to pay off. A new study found that HALF of all college grads since 2007 are unemployed or underemployed! This is unconscionable. And it is even worse for those that majored in the arts and humanities. It was really depressing, especially since I have a son who is a music major and just finished his freshman year.
Then they did a story about the lack of geriatric psychiatrists and how many more are going to be needed as the Baby Boomers get old. I am now considering telling my 14-year-old to forget about music and get a degree in geriatric psychiatry!

Are we holding everything else constant? So all the non-Black Vote stays as it is? If you really pulled 100% AA voters it would have flipped MO in 2008 I'd think. (not that it would have mattered, but that's my benchmark).
KC and STL have your average turnout levels but are highly AA and in '08 MO went red only by thousands of votes IIRC.

Psych takes to long. Nursing is still fairly stable. It's in shortages more than there are surpluses of nurses, and with the medical education staying fairly static in terms of numbers, there will be less doctors overall and a higher need for nurses. So the nursing surpluses in the early 90s were more likely an anomoly than anything.

Yikes, those of you with kids or family majoring in music, unless it's education - and even then - try to get them to reconsider or double major into something that's not going to be completely useless.
Posted by: Burn the Witch at May 10, 2012 10:26 AM (uNB9m)
Not happening here. My son would not have gone to college unless he could major in music. He is smart but not interested in anything else, and hasn't been since he was 12. At least he is majoring in commercial music, though he is now talking about switching to classical composition. I am fighting him on that. He is at a school that has no reputation in composition, but has a huge one in commercial music with lots of connections in the industry and a very good internship program. His career goal is to write music for movies, TV, and video games. That's a pretty big industry, especially the game-music field. He knows it will be tough, but he is very driven and willing to work hard and not make a lot of money for a while. Luckily the college isn't too expensive and he won't have much debt coming out. I have resigned myself to no grandchildren for at least another 15 years.

Also you do realize if you adjust the divorce rate to only account for 1st time divorces (i.e. exlcude all people who remarry and then divorce again) the divorce rate drops fairly quickly.
I'm not saying the state of the family is the best it's ever been, but it's not so awful as to skew the general stats enough to make me worry for the sake of stupid arguments. Among the middle class it's fairly decent.

Movie music isn't a big industry and neither is TV. The jobs in those that are most accessible in both don't pay worth a damn. Video games are a little more accessible, but not much. If he wants to do comp, he should minor or take classes on the side, regardless of genre. If he has real talent, the degree won't matter.
Chances are he's been led down this path by educators who don't give their students an accurate picture of what they're getting into when it comes to music. The bottom line is that he needs a skill or an education that translates into something that's going to pay the bills. Music Comp just isn't going to cut it for the vast majority of students. The chances of him making a decent living at anything in the music industry without doing something else to pay his bills are small enough to where it's just not smart to hedge yourself against the terrible odds.

#413 All Romney has to do is use the GWB line, "when I was young and irresponsible I did things that were irresponsible."
As a Mormon, Romney has no sex, drugs, or booze in his youth for the media to smear him with, so I suspect this prank/bullying story is all they've got. Not worth spending much time on for Romney.

It DOES add to his street cred as the world's first Mormon badass. First the criminal mischief story, now this "bullying" story... What next? Do we find out he shot a man in Salt Lake City just to watch him bleed a little before applying a tourniquet, apologizing profusely, and paying for his ensuing medical care?

Bat, bird or angel? I'd recommend bird since they seem to fold more compactly and thus aren't going to get in your way like angel wings. And bat wings are just creepy.

>>Because it's always all about how it will affect the king and not the country
Posted by: TheQuietMan
When power is placed in the hands of a usurper like Barack Obama, all thought of accepting authority of the other branches of government as delegated by the Constitution is rejected. Three years in office have seen Obama use the various agencies of the executive branch to break countless federal statutes, rob states of their legislative prerogatives and flout the authority of the congress and the courts.
>>Has Holder and the DoJ file a law suit against the state of Wisconsin yet?
Posted by: TheQuietMan
ObamaÂ’s Department of Justice has actively prevented South Carolina, Arizona, Texas and others from implementing voter ID laws designed to prevent the widespread incidents of fraud so instrumental to the success of the Democrat Party in elections for the past 50 years. The Department has filed suit in federal court to prevent implementation of those state laws in spite of a 2008 Supreme Court ruling which found Constitutional an Indiana voter ID law whose various requirements were mirrored in the Texas and Arizona legislation.

Bird wings, jet black with possibly a few red streaks. I would say condor wings but since those are bigger then me, I'll settle for size appropriate wings that let me zoom about. Not that I've thought about this or anything.

Whenever I see that scene in Attack of the Clones when Anakin goes free falling through some fifty vertical lanes of sky traffic, I say to myself, "Oh give me a break. You KNOW some jackass on a flying bike would be weaving all over the place in complete contradiction of the flight!road rules, and Anakin would end up impaled on flyboy's handlebars."

Well, there is a current precedent on another choo choo already newly built and operating there. And the results ain't pretty:
Los AngelesÂ’ brand new $930 million Exposition light rail line is carrying so few riders and bringing in so little revenue that it will, at best, take 65 years for the train to earn back its capital investment (not including ongoing operating costs). If the project completes its next phase and establishes an at-grade train that runs through heavy street traffic from Downtown L.A. to the city of Santa Monica, it will not pay for its construction for 170 years.

If you think about it, 90% of these ideas for 'personal convenience' assume asymmetrical implementation--you have a flying car and others don't, more people use mass transit so your drive has less traffic, and so forth.
In other words, I think you know how flying car licenses should be handled in alextopia: selective, arbitrary, and keyless ignition triggered by stompy boots.

Welcome home, Dad! Moment six-year-old boy with cerebral palsy surprises marine father when he WALKS to him for first time
A U.S. Marine got the gift of a lifetime when he returned from Afghanistan to find that his son Michael, 6, had learned to walk.
The heartwarming event was recorded as it unfolded in a school gymnasium, as Staff Sgt. Jeremy Cooney believed his son's cerebral palsy would keep him from being able to move without assistance for his entire life.
'We kept the fact that he could walk a secret the whole time his dad was gone,' wife Melissa Cooney told the Welcome Home Blog...
More at the link. Such a nice story.

Everything in alextopia will be selective and arbitrary. Much like the time I nearly made a professor cry when he asked how I planned to rule my hypothetical kingdom and I replied "by whim, of course."
