Smitten      teen girls stir up #FreeJahar mania for Boston     Marathon bombings suspect

NY Post: http://tiny.cc/2ez0ww

This love is terrifying.

While some scrawl the hashtag “#FreeJahar” on their hands with markers, an 18-year-old in Topeka, Kansas, is going to the extreme — she wants the Dzhokhar’s words inked on her arm forever...

And people wonder why I     say I'm borderline misogynist.    Actually, I'm beginning to wonder why, too.       I think I     crossed over that border   months ago.

WRT the IRS disclosures: Nobody is pressing any agency or admin toadie about the admin going after businesses [yet?] such as Gibson. We need the pattern well and truly established in the public mind.

I agree.  One of the reasons the impeachment of Clinton was unsuccessful was that Republicans couldn't articulate what was "so wrong" about what he'd done.  We had one group (of Republicans) talking about "sex in the oval office," which played in with the Democrats' "It's just about sex!" storyline.  Together those drowned out the "perjury, obstruction of justice, and, oh yeah, credible accusations of rape" voices.

I don't even really care if TFG gets impeached (I'd love it, though, and I think he deserves it more than any president in history), but I want so thoroughly to destroy Democrats' credibility with the LIVs that we basically don't even have to run against them for the next 12 years.  To do that, we have to make sure every piece of filth and dirty laundry gets aired. 

The People need to know about Benghazi.  They need to know that it is a direct result of Democrat incompetence when it comes to foreign affairs.  They need to know that 4 Americans are dead because Democrats couldn't be bothered to pay attention or listen to their people on the ground.  They need to know that the gross negligence and incompetence was covered up by the Democrat-Media complex for the specific purpose of winning the November election- 4 families left without even the least bit of consideration from the President or Secretary of State just because this Admin thought (okay, knew) that admitting it was a failure on their part would damage them politically.

The People need to know about Solyndra and Fisker and Tesla and all the other "green-energy" corruption.  They need to know that this president not only puts his donors and "friends" first, but that he will sacrifice the good of the country for them.  They need to know that GWB turned down those same companies repeatedly, because he knew they could never be solvent.  They need to know that TFG approved the loans not for any ecnomic benefit for the country, but for his own political gain.

The People need to know about the prosecution against Gibson and others.  They need to know that this president will attempt to destroy even private citizens who simply disagree with him in publich.

And the People need to know about the IRS being used as a weapon against his political enemies.  They need to know that he will use the full weight of the US Government to destroy the lives of those who disagree with him.

And if we can get that message out to the people, the Democrats will begin urging to impeach him so fast that our heads will spin.  They'd rather throw him under the bus (enough face-time and money to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will be enough to ensure their cooperation) than see their own prospects so thoroughly destroyed.

So did we like the movie or not?

It has potential.

Speaking of movies- if you haven't seen "Immortals"... don't.  I'm the kind of guy who's happy if an action flick has good action, a few good one-liners, and some t-n-a (optional, but highly preferred).  This movie didn't even do those well.

I just looked out the window and the rocket surgeons who are painting have now started up a small charcoal grill. Because these are exactly the people I want using fire. I see no possible way for this to end badly.

Ah.  Yes.   So    these   brain    scientists see no problem with    employing    an open flame near     their      oh-so-inviting paint cans?

These are the kind of geniuses we need in Washington.

And WTH are they grilling?          Have they got some   "brauts sizzling away for lunch?       Or have they always wanted to see if     all those stories about   "suicide by charcoal grill"   from Japan are really true?   I mean,    WTH?

"Guilty as Sin,

Free as a Bird!"

So we have an all staff meeting last week, a couple scrunts from Columbia University to give a presentation on the wonders of 'infomatics', ie, commie health care. Psycho libs really letting their masks slip. Obammycare is great you see, because now everyone's medical records will be digitized and at the fingertips of tens of thousands of bureaucrats, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, PEONS! Yes, sans the peons part, that was actually as part of the presentation.

It's all good though you see, there are like fines and stuff that will be assessed if you misuse this info. They mentioned how you see celebrities always have their medical procedures exposed, and this makes it both vastly easier and way harder to track down the culprit, but that's great, or something. As long as you don't divulge info on someone politically important, they'll probably just let it slide.

But man, if you're one of them evil insurance companies, watch out! For example, one company digitized tens of thousands of records. A computer was stolen and all that private info with it. Now, the company had followed all the guidelines for protecting the data, but when the guberment investigated, they decided the company didn't do enough, so they fined them millions and helped open up the class action lawsuit floodgates to sue that evil company out of business! Hoorah!

By the end of the presentation, it was clear that glorious Obamacare provides for whole lot of new onerous paperwork, bureaucratic hurdles, and new avenues for lawyers to sue, but not a damn minute on actual medical care. And the scrunts had the nerve to stand there in front of hundreds of people bitching about Republicans in Congress not giving them even more money to implement it, but not to worry, they're determined to fuck us, funding or no.

>>>They need to know that the gross negligence and incompetence was covered up by the Democrat-Media complex for the specific purpose of winning the November election

You know, I don't want to pre-judge anything. While its true that you should attribute to malice what can be accounted for by ignorance, that never eliminates malice as a motive. If the arms-dealing thing is actually true then a dead man is a way to cover it all up. Me, I dunno, but I want to know.

Meander over and say,  "Hey, guys.  Nice day, huh?   So I see you're grilling    some hot dogs here.   Nice, very nice.  They smell    really good.    Say, did you happen to notice it's barely 10am?   I realize that everyone's stomach works on a different schedule, but I can't help noticing that it's a wee bit early for lunch,    there's still a shitload   of painting to be done, and, oh yeah, the window you broke?  Still broken.  

"Tell you what.   You give me a couple    of what you're cooking    and I    won't tell the boss's    wife    you're wasting     their     money standing      around shooting the shit and eating    preservative-packed   meat    tubes   instead of doing your job.   

"Mind you,  I make absolutely no promises about whether or not I tell the    boss, and whether or   not HE tells his wife is completely out of my hands.

"Hope you've got your life insurance premiums paid up, that's all I'll say."

Ew.

At the battle of Yarmuk in 636, the battle in which the Byzantine Empire  lost the Holy Land to the Arabs, one of the Arab women walked out onto the battlefield and ate the liver of one of the Byzantine soldiers, IIRC. Ate something, anyhow. I suspect that there may be a connection, and the eating of corpses may be intended to send a message - it is a pretty well-known story among the Arabs, I believe.

I loudly booed when they were finished.

Don't Bogart, AllenG. Give me some of whatever you're having. No Democratic Party politician would or will ever publicly urge the impeachment of Barack Obama under any circumstances. Some because they're true believers, others because political suicide is usually a bad idea.

President Obama will likely not be perceived as a failure whatever the reality of his record. His glaringly massive shortcomings as a leader and as a man will be obscured under a cloud of hagiographic veneration for decades to come. Few will ever know the truth.

Someone, somewhere typed that information in at some point. That person was probably not that highly paid. I'm sorry, but whenever I hear the whole "oh this part is automated so that's not a worry" I laugh because at some point some person sat down and typed that information in. Just because that information then gets automated out doesn't mean there was never human entry.

Well some of it may be their fault.

The lack of compatibility between the two major vendors (Cener and EPIC) is a major fail.  In my town it's split about 50/50 between who uses what.  The problem is that the major hospital attached to my PCP is not where I'm most likely to be taken in case of an actual emergency given the frequency swarm of my location around town.

This leads to a moronic manual transcribing which I think accounts for at least some of these errors (certainly not all obviously.)

Of course this is what happens when you tweak the market to force a technology that's still at least partially in development into the main stream.  Had the market performed properly I think you'd have at least seen a de facto standard emerge. (Similar to PDF and DOC.)

At the very least if you're going to be stupid and force EHR on people, mandate some sort of standard as well.
