FRIDAY!!!!!!

Marion Barry, the gift that keeps on giving, refers to Pollacks during his umpteenth apology for referring to Asian's "dirty shops."

The AP notices that the Obama campaign is lying about Romney moving the goal posts. Okay, so "lying" is probably too strong a term; Ben LaBolt isn't smart enough to realize his error.

Have a great holiday weekend.

2 Good Morning Morons.  Today is FRIDAY, May 25, 2012.  On this day in 1787 the Constitutional Convention convened in Philadelphia.  It is time for a new one.


(Got a late start this morning, here's what I have so far.)

7 Our immigration system at work again.  Fort Hood terrorist found guilty on all counts of planning to bomb restaurant and building a bomb.  Naser Jason Abdo is an America citizen by birth in Texas from Palestinian immigrants with Jordanian citizenship.  Why are we accepting immigrants from terrorist nations?  So why did this “citizen” want to bomb the restaurant?  It had Ft Hood soldiers in it.  So why did he want to bomb his fellow soldiers?  Because of his “religion” he said.

10 Senate commies roll out another political POS they think will help them with the women vote. The “paycheck fairness act”.  They already passed the stupid lawyer bill named the Ledbetter Bedwetter Act when they had a heavy lock on all three branches.  These kinds of laws are nothing more than a different form of Pigford for shyster lawyers and women looking to cash in without working.

11 The absurdities at DOJ abound.


The Justice Department promised Thursday to be “flexible” in enforcing new rules ordering public pools to pay for lifts or ramps for the disabled — backing away from what some pool operators had said was an invitation to a flood of lawsuits against small businesses.


CheckÂ’s in the mailÂ…yadda yadda yadda.  IÂ’m sure this “flexibility” will end as soon as the election is over, if the idiots are still in charge.  Abolish the ADA so that these stupid regulations by executive fiat do not crop up when the communists are in power.

But not to worry, he had no chance of being elected to the new SC 7th district anyway.  He is a Democrat.

24 Morning, kids. In light of the bald-faced LYING that Obama and Co. are deficit hawks, I thought I'd post this. To really understand the crisis we are in, and the abject criminality of this administration and sadly those in government from both parties who go along with it, consider the following: *In inflation-adjusted dollars for 2009: The Marshall Plan - $115 billion The Louisiana Purchase - $217 billion The Apollo Project - $237 billion The Savings and Loan Crisis - $236 billion The Korean War - $454 billion The New Deal - $500 billion (approximate) The War in Iraq - $597 billion (up to 2009) The Vietnam War - $698 billion NASA since its inception - $851 billion TOTAL - $3.9 TRILLION The entire cost of World War 2 incurred by the United States - $3.6 TRILLION Debt incurred under the Obama Administration from late January 2009 to May 2012 - $5.1 TRILLION Anyone who still thinks Obama is a saint after all this is just fucking beyond any help.

I've been watching it live on NASA TV. http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html SpaceX will begin their own webcast in about 10 minutes. http://new.livestream.com/spacex/Berthing I took a vacation day to watch this. Dragon has been performing beautifully on this mission so far. It's a brand-new spacecraft on a very complex mission. It has to meet a variety of milestones and perform various maneuvers on command before NASA considers it safe enough to allow it close to the ISS.

43 Good old boy just out to have fun in SC

Deputies responded to a call that a man had broken into a Solo convenience store near Carolina Motorsports Track on U.S. 521 about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday A homeowner near the store heard an alarm and called 911. When deputies got there, they began purusing a car at the business. The driver, later identified as Jimmy Lee Parson, pushed his carÂ’s speedometer over 100 miles per hour and rammed at least two Kershaw County patrol cars in an attempt to escaped.
Once deputies stopped the car, Parson, of Columbia, resisted arrest and was stunned by deputies. The 44-year-old wasnÂ’t injured, and was taken into custody and charged with resisting arrest, failure to stop for blue lights, aggravated assault, driving under the influence, two counts of malicious injury to real property, and five counts of second-degree burglary. No one was injured in the chase.

60 The microwave oven was invented as an accidental by-product of war-time (World War 2) radar research using magnetrons (vacuum tubes that produce microwave radiation, a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength between 1 mm and 30 cm).

In 1946, the engineer Dr. Percy LeBaron Spencer, who worked for the Raytheon Corporation, was working on magnetrons. One day at work, he had a candy bar in his pocket, and found that it had melted. He realized that the microwaves he was working with had caused it to melt. After experimenting, he realized that microwaves would cook foods quickly - even faster than conventional ovens that cook with heat.

The Raytheon Corporation produced the first commercial microwave oven in 1954; it was called the 1161 Radarange. It was large, expensive, and had a power of 1600 watts. The first domestic microwave oven was produced in 1967 by Amana (a division of Raytheon).

My little contribution to every blog about BK day is a book exerpt:

 

***

So Maruse had to find a way to defy the opposition. He found it in what he termed "repressive tolerance." In 1965, Marcuse wrote an essay by that name in which he argued that tolerance was good only if nondominating ideas were allowed to flourish--and that nondominating ideas could flourish only if dominating ideas were shut down. "

he realization of the objective of tolerance," he wrote, "would call for intolerance toward prevailing policies, attitudes, opinions, and the extension of tolerance to policies, attitudes and opinions which are oulawed or suppressed." America was experiencing a "repressive tolerance" under which dissenting viewpoints were stifled; what it needed was "partisan tolerance."

 

In other words, if you disagreed with Marcuse, you should be forefully shut, according to Marcuse.

71 More from that case above:

SotomayorÂ’s dissent said the ruling weakens the foundersÂ’ concerns about allowing the state to bring repeated charges against those it disfavors.



Does this mean when people are acquitted of charges as in the Rodney King case the justice department can no longer pursue hate crimes and civil rights charges for the same act?


Now that truly is double jeopardy but I'll bet a case of beer and a shitty peanut to you that you will never make that kind of a ruling.

"NASA since its inception - $851 billion"

 

A business partner from Moscow came in last week with his 23 year old son for a meeting in Houston.  We had an extra day, so I took them to NASA for a tour.

All in all, itÂ’s pretty sad.  The visitor center is cheesy at best, the hour and a half trolley tour was less than inspiring and the only thing that had some awe factor was the Saturn 5 rocket on display.  The whole time there I kept thinking about the line in “Armageddon” when Bruce Willis said “This is NASA, for christsake”.

79 Dragon is inside 100 meters from the ISS now. Capture now projected for 9:10 EDT. This is fun. I'll have to read the Patterico article later. One of the pleasant side effects of following this space flight is that I've been too busy to worry about depressing political shit.

81 Seriously, go read Patterico's story.
--
MamaAJ

The attacks against Frey and family wrap "hate crimes" within domestic terrorism.

That the FBI hasn't/can't solve it? Simply taking stock of another violent fraud against a citizen instigated by a terrorist but achieved by the strong arm of governance. That the federal officials refuse to produce thorough Patriot Act surveillance on Kimberlin & Co. illustrates again that these "well intended" legislated over reaches of executive powers are NOT protecting the law abiding citizenry, but protecting the organized crime within government in the name of national security.

Given the hateful domestic terrorist trend towards SWATting, you'd think there'd be a unified public outcry. This goes well beyond the crimes committed by SWAT teams by accident due to "clerical" error, assaulting the wrong address and killing the inhabitants trying to awaken from sleep in the dead of night. Who all bitched and moaned about those abuses so swiftly swept under the rug, rationalizing that everyone (except the innocent victims) "deserves" a mulligan.  No.

Given the misuses of SWAT, you'd think that protocol would exert THOROUGH CLERICAL CLEARING of an address to identify the inhabitants prior to arrival. Legislators and bleeding heart activists scream for safety locks on firearms; SWAT needs a safety lock clearance before automatic attack. But you see, that would inhibit the grotesque opportunism to abuse such a strike force. And given so few victims, whether the Marine killed in Tucson or Patterico, the irony is that terrorists continue as ever, using the means created by fearful and outraged Americans (box cutters were legally allowed when 9/11 occurred, and the safety protocol of pilots was to comply with hijackers, as if TSA is the logical solution). Terrorists remain at large without being detained and prosecuted for acts of terrorism. And the government's performance , whether local or federal, ends up attacking innocent Americans in the line of duty.

As if Mitt will take an effective stand against Kimberlin, or the TSA.

It's very difficult to explain quickly.

 

Aaron Walker and his wife lost their jobs and had to leave their home.

 

Patterico had police show up at his door thinking he'd killed his wife.

 

Pictures and the address of his house have been published.

"The Apollo Project - $237 billion
NASA since its inception - $851 billion"

"All in all, itÂ’s pretty sad."

No joke.

The Apollos were great [at least right up until about the Ron Howard flick mission].

Skylab - total waste of money.

The Voyagers - teh awesome.

So from $851b, let's subtract the $237b for the Apollos, and some spare change for the Voyagers & Skylab, and get about $600b since, say, 1980.

Holy Cow - what did we get for our money since then?

Pretty pictures from the Hubble.

Circumnavigation of Jupiter & Saturn [more pretty pictures].

Confirmation that Mars is just a bunch of rocks & dust.

Seems like we coulda done that on a heckuva lot less than $600b.

I get the feeling that NASA has become yet another pension-generating scheme for anti-Western anti-Civilizational career nihilists like James Hansen.

What a terrible tragedy.

Raise your hand if you wanted to be an astronaut when you were a kid.

Or maybe I should say: Raise your hand if you wanted to be an astronaut when you were a kid, but you were also sufficiently precocious & prescient to realize that by the time you grew up, the Left would have turned NASA into just another anti-American bureaucratic sewer.

No it won't.  That's the point.  The "flexibility" is their cudgel.  They don't want anyone in compliance.  They want them constantly fearing that their waiver will be rescinded. If you think that will change just because a Republican is President, you're being far less curmudgeonly than normal.

101 Was Patterico deemed Innocent until proven guilty by our government in action? Certainly not by the 911 Operator connection to SWAT response. Patterico was the victimized target of a SWATting. The only "presumed innocence" in the 911 call was/is assigned to the ANONYMOUS caller. The entire system has, of course, been corrupted to the most obscene degree, as is the way of government. Taxpayers are funding the over extension of opportunism towards protecting the rights of ex-convicts and murdering traitors (Hassan) persisting in criminal activities, enjoying the same financial (and political) backing as the POTUScoamft. Ayers yet illustrates the convolution of "Innocent until proven Guilty".

Bill Text
112th Congress (2011-2012)
H.CON.RES.107.IH

"Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution."

The buck stops on the Oval Office desk.
Call your Congressman to support HR 107 before they break.

Rep.Jones said that aside from holding the POTUS accountable, this House Bill 107 is meant to hold CONGRESS accountable, that they ALL have sworn to uphold and abide by the US Constitution, and that Congress must perform its constitutional duty.

Of course Congressmen won't lift a finger unless they are thrown into the fray by constituents.

Ace wrote the other day of waiting to hear a speech on the floor of Congress before determining for ourselves if the Constitution matters, to determine by popular vote whether American citizens have free speech or not. Damn, that's like Mitt deferring to his absent lawyers before saying what the Constitution  means when asked in debate, then deferring to "the constitutional candidate" as Mitt said.

Call our Congressmen. Speak out for the House Bill 107 already sponsored and awaiting Lamar Smith's committee clearance for a House vote.

When Congress and the POTUS hear the rising chorus from taxpaying voters to function constitutionally or go home in shame, they will be more receptive towards the legitimate concerns against SWATting, to hold government responsible for its own actions and mistakes rather than sweeping injustice under their corrupted rug.

I belong to an Officer's Club which has a pool complex of 3 large pools and a baby pool. To get to it you have to go down a flight of steps. You can enter through a back gate without steps but to do that would require a long slog from the parking lot through some paths through another lot, etc. The state, I guess, required them to buy a lift.

Just as Kissinger/Nixon's bff treaty with Red China was disturbing, when NASA joined with the USSR to build the space station, that gave great pause. Obama's order effectively handing NASA to the Muslim Nations proved just how far politics can corrupt the liberty to pursue happiness especially in science, no matter how far you go to get away from it all (space, the last frontier).

This is second hand, so take if for what it's worth:  An uncle of mine knows a guy who worked cleaning up the locker room used by the LA SWAT team.  His job sucked whenever they came back from a raid and DIDN'T get to kill anyone.  They'd be enraged, and trash the place.  Only when they got to spill blood did they feel like they'd had a good day.

The Left already has willing, trained, well-armed death squads.  We call them police.  The Right's lack of an armed organization is what will be the death of many of us.

Vic - those links to the articles re the Muz bomber and the flash mobs truly make the blood boil.  But they should be avoided.  They just raise the blood pressure to no good purpose.

 

 

I say this because my fellow conservatives have made it clear to me that doing anything to actually SOLVE the problem is bad, and mean, and nasty, and we shouldn't even think about it.  The muslims and criminals and sundry trash have RIGHTS, you know.  If a bunch of regular folk have to be blown up, robbed, beaten to death, etc, that's just the price we have to pay for the joy of niceness.  Rounding up the scum and getting rid of them is just too icky to contemplate.  Except, of course, when they're far away overseas and our military can do it without us having to see it.  Though even there we tie our mens' hands so they don't hurt too many of our enemies.  I'm told this is the American way.

 

 

And truly, that is why we're F-ed.  Because many/most on our side are too squeamish to accept the hard things that must be done to fix the situation.  Every day things get further out of control, requiring ever more radical responses to stem the tide, yet nothing is done.  So, best to just concentrate on milking the current system for all its worth, and looking out for ones self and ones own loved ones.

What did they think of the tour trolley?  It looks like they picked them up second hand from some carnival.  I ruined a pair of pants on the 80 grit seat sandpaper.  Like I said, “This is NASA, for christsake”.  Where is the streamlined monorail?  A girl in the seat just ahead got a nose bleed.  No paramedics swooped in with jetpacks to spray space foam up her nostrils, just the old overweight driver fumbling through a picked-clean first aid kit for gauze that wasnÂ’t there.

149 I'm sure I'm their lifetime, they've done so much for the environment, they offset the purchase of a yacht."Posted by: rumningrn at May 25, 2012 08:46 AM (WGmy2)

I used to get in these running "letter to the editor" battles in a local rag when I lived on Cape Cod.  As you can imagine, that's where all the beautiful people from Hah-vud decamp to in the summer.  At one point this guy was touting his 20 year work work with the IMF on the economies of African nations as proof of his expertise.  As if he were just full of all kinds of awesome that no rational person could question the truth of his intellect.  (He actually used the phrase "rational person.")

The next week my (very) short letter appeared.  It said, "If he's such an expert then why are the economies of sub-Saharan Africa still a mess after decades of 'fixing'?"

He never wrote in again.

People like that person who wrote that nonsense about off-setting the purchase of a yacht are the true sheeple.  When an "intellectual" says something, that's reason enough right there to dissect it, triple-check it, and then discard it.

The only way that kind of thing can be effectively resisted is through organization.  Random acts of revenge will not be enough.

But not this time.

Three and a half years of having everything you believe in mocked, while watching our supposed "betters" screw the pooch - and then demand to be thanked for it - is enough to wake people up.  As a political class you can get away with shitting on people rhetorically when everything is going well.  Normal people just tune you out and live their lives.  When things are going poorly, it's not time to kick the sleeping bear.  Yet that's what JEF and crew have done.

And it's conservatives who are the linear thinkers.  Watch how fast shit gets organized when people start coming in the night.

The difference in the gas prices in the Cleveland area between stations are larger than I've ever seen.  The closest station to me had it for 3.64 and another one across the street had 3.79; there's usually a penny difference at most.  Then about 5 miles away there are multiple stations at 3.54.

Compare it with SpaceX's Mission Control: an array of flat screen monitors on desks. They make it look like anybody could put something like that together. To be fair, the JSC Mission Control was designed to hold built-in CRT monitors, which was state-of-the-art at the time.

In Memoriam: The Old Obama, Who Wanted to Bring People Together

The 2004 version of Barack Obama, who captured the nation with a dazzling speech about unity and went on to win the presidency on a message of hope, died on Monday. He was 8 years old.

The cause of death appeared to be a bitter realization that he needed to win reelection in an increasingly partisan political environment, a cancer that he had been battling for months if not years.

Obama's illness got the best of him late Monday, as he announced that his campaign for four more years in the White House would be based not on optimism, but rather the shady corporate record of his opponent, Mitt Romney, who ran a private-equity firm that few Americans knew about before this year.

Obama's announcement was a stark contrast to the speech that catapulted him into his party's sights eight years ago, when he electrified Democrats at their quadrennial convention.

Over five months out. Fall will go badly. She can't play defense and hold out. She needs to push for the win and her strident personality will hurt her.


Women don't do very well here, which may be why the Dems are so anxious to have these harpies run for Senate; get a big win to get over the equality hurdle.

From fluffy's link.

>>In the years before Warren first came to Harvard Law, the school was under intense pressure to diversify its faculty. In 1990, Derrick Bell, a prominent black law professor, went on a one-man strike, taking an unpaid leave of absence to protest the fact that the law school had not yet brought a black female academic permanently on board.

 

Cracks me up every time.

220 The UN atomic agency has found evidence at an underground bunker in Iran that could mean the country has moved closer to producing the uranium threshold needed to arm nuclear missiles, diplomats said Friday. The International Atomic Energy Agency has found traces of uranium enriched up to 27 percent at Iran's Fordo enrichment plant, the diplomats told The Associated Press. That is still substantially below the 90-percent level needed to make the fissile core of nuclear arms. But it is above Iran's highest-known enrichment grade, which is close to 20 percent, and which already can be turned into weapons-grade material much more quickly than the Islamic Republic's main stockpile, which can only be used for fuel at around 3.5 percent. The diplomats, who demanded anonymity because their information is privileged, said the find did not necessarily mean that Iran was covertly raising its enrichment threshold toward weapons-grade level. They said one likely explanation was that the centrifuges that produce enriched uranium initially over-enriched at the start as technicians adjusted their output. Yeah sure Iran can be trusted.

LOL!  Buzzfeed actually has an article up "A User's Guid to Smoking Pot With Barack Obama".  Here are a few fun facts from that piece:


1. As a member of the Choom Gang, Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends. The first was called "TA," short for "total absorption." 

(Choom was slang for smoking pot)


2. Along with TA, Barry popularized the concept of "roof hits": when they were chooming in the car all the windows had to be rolled up so no smoke blew out and went to waste; when the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling

 


3. When you were with Barry and his pals, if you exhaled precious pakalolo (Hawaiian slang for marijuana, meaning "numbing tobacco") instead of absorbing it fully into your lungs, you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around.

 


4. Barry also had a knack for interceptions. When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted
made his acknowledgments; his own mother did not."Intercepted!," and took an extra hit.


(Douchebag was "redistributin" even back in H.S.!)


5. In another section of the [senior] yearbook, students were given a block of space to express thanks and define their high school experience. Â… Nestled below [Obama's] photographs was one odd line of gratitude: "Thanks Tut, Gramps, Choom Gang, and Ray for all the good times." Â… A hippie drug-dealer made his acknowledgments; his own mother did not.

229 From the Barry story:
------

'His remark prompted a demand from Gary Kenzer, executive director of the Chicago-based Polish American Association, that Barry “apologize to the Polish American community of this country.”

“You wouldn’t say a derogatory statement to an African American, a Jewish American, and we deserve the same respect,” he said.'

-----

I guess the Pollack didn't receive the memo indicating that blacks, jews, and gays are extra-special. Pollacks are not. Mr. Kenzer just needs to keep quiet.

243 I will no go into details, but I was the target of some these freaks, too, but nowhere near to the extent of this saga.

Somehow commenters at a left wing blog where I posted seriously innocuous, but anti-liberal sentiment, found out my identity. How?.. I don't know. Contacts at service provider, maybe?

They harassed my family over the phone, called my employer and told them them the most malicious lies, and some whose ID's were readily available on the blog posted comments where they said I contacted them and physically threatened them.

I had to get LE and lawyers involved.

(I took some extra steps on my own, but I cannot get into that )

247 The left has a tremendous advantage: their supporters are sheep, and will go where the shepherds drive them. So they can mobilize more quickly than the Right for flash mobs and mostly peaceful riots and demonstrations to shut down dissent.

We need to find a way to exploit that, to be honest; I'm sure that after a couple 'flash mobs' get called into a situation not as advertised might deter future responses from being particularly vigorous...

Let's please try to keep that in mind. At some point, this is going to court -- and Kimberlin is screen capping all of this so he can say "Your honor, I'm being harassed and defamed."


Please do not contribute to his legal defense in this manner.

Sorry I was so vague with "newer." I bought my Kenwood receiver in 1985. I think yours might have a vulcan pinch (unplug it, wait x seconds, then hold down the y and z buttons while you plug it back in). Try searching the web for it. I just got a Yamaha RX-V A/V receiver a couple of years ago. All my research kept pointing to that series. I kept an eye on Amazon and NewEgg and sprung for it when the price dropped by a couple hundred bucks.
