I know everyone is getting tired of all the JFK assassination rehashing but let's just get a few facts out there to counteract all the liberal ongoing retconning before we move it.
John F Kennedy Was Killed by a Communist
Look, guys. Lee Harvey Oswald murdered JFK. Oswald was a Communist. Not a small c, "all we are saying is give peace a chance and let's support Negro civil rights" kind of Communist, but someone so committed to the cause (and so blind to the nature of the USSR) that he actually went to live in the Soviet Union. And when that didn't work out, Oswald became a great admirer of Castro. He apparently would have gone to live in Cuba before the assassination if the Cubans would have had him.
Oswald was a member of pretty much every Communist organization that existed in the early 60's or was at least inquiring whether they had a newsletter.
He also attempted to persuade a friend to join the youth auxiliary of the Communist Party. He subsequently made membership inquiries to such organizations as the Socialist Workers Party, the Socialist Labor Party, The Gus Hall-Benjamin Davis Defense Committee, the Daily Worker, The Fair Play for Cuba Committee and the Communist Party, USA - correspondence that brought him under surveillance by the FBI.
He was a proletariat-loving friend-of-Marx Commie with a capital C. Period. Full stop.
Oswald Wasn't Really From Dallas
Oswald was a drifter. He only spent a few years in Dallas in elementary school and a few weeks again just before the assassination. So much for the city-of-hate made him do it theory.
As for the influence of Dallas on Oswald, he had only lived there (or in nearby Fort Worth) for the years from first to sixth grade, spending the bulk of his youth in New Orleans, with a two-year stay in New York (the Bronx, to be specific) and then back to New Orleans: "By the age of 17, he had resided at 22 different locations and attended 12 different schools."
Oswald had dropped out of school and joined the Marines, then defected to the USSR and lived there for nearly three years. He came back to Dallas because he had family there, attempted to kill General Walker about ten months later, almost immediately moved back to New Orleans for about five months, and then tried to get to Cuba through Mexico, and only returned to Dallas in early October 1963.
Oswald Wanted to Kill for Communism
And be a martyr for the cause if necessary.
Before disappearing into the Soviet hinterland for a year, Oswald spelled out his operational creed in a long letter to his brother. From Moscow, he wrote presciently of his willingness to commit murder for a political cause: "I want you to understand what I say now, I do not say lightly, or unknowingly, since I've been in the military.. In the event of war I would kill any American who put a uniform on in defense of the American Government-," and then ominously added for emphasis, "Any American." Although his letter was routinely intercepted by the CIA and microfilmed, no discernible attention was paid to the threat contained in it.
Oswald told his wife he planned to hijack an airliner to Havana, suggesting, as the summer progressed, that he might even earn a position in Castro's government. On September 9th, in a report that appeared on the front page of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Castro himself warned that if American leaders continued "aiding plans to eliminate Cuban leaders. they themselves will not be safe."
About 12 years ago I visited the Sixth Floor museum in Dallas and in one room they had a detailed timeline of Oswald's activities in the months, week, and day before the assassination. And after reading the entire thing my thoughts were the following:
- This was not a man with a well thought-out plan.
- This was a man who was absolutely determined to kill someone.
- Lee Harvey Oswald was guilty as hell and barely even attempted to cover his tracks.
P.S. And Robert Kennedy was killed by a Palestinian terrorist.
Why The Iranian Deal is Pretty Much Worthless
Because most of the work in enriching uranium is in getting ore from the naturally occurring 0.7% U-235 to 5% or 20%. The rest comes quickly.
One big reason to be suspicious of the deal is that the enrichment process for weapons grade uranium is highly non-linear.the level of enrichment accelerates as the process continues. That means that most of the cumulative effort required to produce highly enriched uranium (HEU) comes at the earliest stages. About 90% of the total effort required is expended to reach the 5% level of enrichment and 98% for the 20% level of HEU. (See attached chart)
...It takes about 8 days and only 2% of the total effort to go from the 20% HEU permitted to the 90% required for weapons grade and only 45 days and 10% of the cumulative effort from the 5% level of HEU.
The Palestinians are particularly encouraged by the success of their efforts to make it acceptable for Palestinian women and children to die for the cause. Palestinian governments have been running media campaigns encouraging this for over a decade. The message has become more and more blunt in the last few years. None of this stuff appears in English, but there's plenty of it in Arabic. While the "hooray for death" propaganda was largely about being a suicide bomber, those who die, unarmed, while trying to occupy Israeli territory are also declared martyrs and praised copiously in the Palestinian media (along with cash payments to the families, making the deaths an economic, as well as political, transaction).
Israelis recognize all this and are appalled at how so many in the West are either ignorant of these realities or simply refuse to believe it. There's a comprehension gap here that the Israelis fear will lead to serious attempts to destroy Israel and kill many of Jews. After World War II, most Jews said "never again" (to mass murder like the Nazis engaged in against the Jews). But here it is, all over again, except this time the Nazis are speaking Arabic and aren't nearly as well organized.
Organizing For America or The Onion
In an effort to ensure a smooth and enjoyable dinner with their relatives, siblings Jason, Alyssa, and Leslie Conroy reportedly sat down together Tuesday evening for a PowerPoint presentation covering all of the conversation topics that will be off-limits during the family's Thanksgiving gathering. "As you can see here, we're unsure whether or not cousin Jessica is actually college-bound, so we're going to avoid that subject and stick to the key talking points listed in this table," said Alyssa Conroy, 26, during the siblings' 48-slide presentation, which reportedly featured pie charts breaking down the state and national voting histories of extended family members, as well as Venn diagrams illustrating what each relative knows about their father's upcoming surgery. "While we'd like to stay away from this topic if possible, this timeline does lay out Sarah's various employers and subsequent job search over the last several years, and the chart to the right summarizes Uncle Jack and Aunt Peg's opposing viewpoints on the matter. Now, if you would open your handouts to page 14, Jason's going to give us the outline of Dad and Uncle Jack's ongoing argument about renting a house together in Cape Cod this summer." The presentation reportedly concluded with a reminder not to ask Uncle Tim's girlfriend anything, a slide that has been carried over from the last seven straight PowerPoints.
Foreseeable Unforeseen Consequences
If you've got sick people who can't pay, why not sign them up for ObamaCare? Insto Presto not your problem any more.
US hospitals are exploring ways to buy "Obamacare" insurance plans for their sickest and poorest patients as they strain under the weight of tens of billions of dollars in uncompensated costs from the uninsured.
But the move is opposed by the Obama administration and insurers, who fear it could add to the turmoil surrounding the new healthcare marketplace.
.Both the White House and insurers are concerned that if hospitals started paying for insurance for certain chronically ill patients, it will skew the insurance risk pool for the new healthcare exchanges, created under the Affordable Care Act. The exchanges need to attract at least 2.7m healthy and young people, out of 7m that were estimated to join the exchanges by March 2014, in order to keep monthly premiums low.
Pakistan: A Malevolent Influence Upon the World
Polio is nearly eradicated from the Earth but still lingers because of Pakistan and Muslim radicals. Since polio can only live in a human host, once the last infection is over it's gone forever.
Syria is going to attempt a widespread polio vaccination campaign because Pakistani Islamic terrorist rebels have apparently introduced polio into Syria. So far this year there have been 13 cases of polio in Syria, after having been absent since the late 1990s. In Pakistan there have been 62 cases of polio so far this year, which was more than all of 2012 (58 ). In Pakistan polio cases reached a low of 28 in 2005 but then Islamic terrorist opposition to vaccination led to a sharp increase that hit 198 cases in 2011. Since then, Pakistani government and religious leaders have sought to deal with resistance to the vaccination campaign. In Pakistan a third of the polio cases have shown up outside the territories. A Taliban ban on polio vaccinations has left over 250,000 young children vulnerable to the disease and these are most of the ones getting infected. Years of Islamic radical clerics preaching that polio is un-Islamic has caused a growing number of parents (from throughout the country) to refuse the vaccinations, even when there is no Islamic terrorist threat of retaliation.
The Governor Of Maine Has Stolen My Children's Christmas Presents
Maine passed a law trying to extort sales tax money from Amazon, by claiming that if an Amazon Associate lives in Maine, then Amazon is a Maine company and must collect sales taxes here. That was about as wise and useful as it sounds. Amazon immediately cancelled all their Maine Associates' accounts, so the state will collect no sales tax, and everyone that derived income from their Associates accounts will lose all of that income, and so won't pay any tax on that, now, either. My situation is even worse than most. Because of some sort of clerical error, Amazon thought I still lived in Massachusetts, and never notified me that my account was being cancelled, and didn't instruct me to remove my Associates links when they notified everyone else, so in addition to forfeiting all future Amazon Associates income, I will also forfeit the last thirty days of Amazon income I've already earned. My wife and I had hoped to use that money to put presents under our Christmas tree for our children. Amazon Associates money is not "mad money" for us. I do not know exactly how I'm going to make up the shortfall in our income next year.
The FBI maintains a reference collection of every single type of gun it comes in contact with. I remember as wee lad getting to take a tour of the FBI headquarters (back when they allowed tours) and the few exotic and famous samples of the gun collection were the highlight of the visit for me.

Porn Permit Applications Have Fallen by 95 Percent After LA Condom Law
Only 24 permits for adult films have been filed so far in LA County in 2013, compared with 480 filed in the same period last year, according to the Free Speech Coalition, the adult film industry trade group. Film permits are legally required for filming outside of a certified sound stage or studio backlot, whether the filming is conducted on public or private property.
So where are they filming? Well probably underground in LA like they did before 1988 or in Vegas or maybe even in New Hampshire ( the only other state where filming pr0n is legal).
The Yahoo AoSHQ group. Bla bla bla.

Jane's Defense Weekly estimates that we know of only 75 percent of Israel's full capabilities. In 2007 the Israelis took down the entire Syrian air-defense system, bombed Syria with aircraft that didn't have the range to make the trip, launched a helicopter air assault, landed special forces, took samples (and probably a corpse or two), and got back home without a single casualty.
The Israelis and the Sunni Arab Gulf states will carry out a strike that will leave everyone stunned. Remember that Israel assassinated the head of the Iranian ballistic missile program on his own base, and they assassinated the Qods Force general advising Assad in Damascus.
I look forward to the global squeals of impotent rage.

Yeah they're annoying and noisy and smelly and not particularly nice, but they're smart as a whip. And watching them is always fun! You can SEE the wheels in their head turning as they consider what they want to do. It's so cute.
And few things are as cute as a crow hop. When they're walking along and come to an edge, say of a sidewalk, and just... hop! across. I love it. SO CUTE.

assuming what one reads in the media is reliable. . ha..ahaha.
But we already know Obama lies, so . . .how can we be sure this 'deal' is anything like it's being reported....

Yeah the fact that JFK and RFK were both murdered by far-left types is kinda ironic. It's like that Jackie Kennedy quote about how him not being killed by a segregationist "robs his death of any meaning."
still people use a collective "they" like it's some vague forces.

Except for the small fact that 23andMe isn't really "Google-backed" any longer. Its founder Anne Wojcicki used to be married to Sergey Brin, but they're now splitsville.
Brin, and the rest of the Google executive cadre, are absolutely enormous political contributors to the Democratic machine. They're the first stop every time Obama comes looking for money in northern California. And as such, despite being bona fide members of the evil "1%" (boo! hiss!), they get a free pass on government scrutiny of things like Google's incredibly complicated tax avoidance gymnastics. Neat how that works, isn't it?
As long as Wojcicki was safely within Brin's orbit, she and her business were effectively shielded by the flow of protection money that he funnels to Obama and cronies. Not a peep was heard from the federal regulators. As soon as they separated, the shakedown racket kicked into high gear.
Chicago, meet Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley, meet Chicago. I'm sure that the two of you will get on famously.

Made homemade BBQ sauce by crossing a recipe for "Kansas City Barbecue Sauce" from bbq.about.com with a recipe for ketchup from tomato paste from ehow.
Went as follows: (1) add 1 cup water and tiny (6 oz) can of tomato paste to saucepan, stir until smooth. (2) dump in 4T molasses, 1.8 oz (weight) brown sugar, 1/3 cup cider vinegar, 1T onion powder, 4t garlic powder, 1T black pepper, 1t allspice, 1t cayenne pepper, 1 shake Crystal Louisiana pepper sauce, 1 shake hickory liquid smoke. (3) bring to boil, stirring frequently, then back down to a simmer for a while, stirring occasionally.
Came out pretty good -- I've had store-bought that I liked less. A bit sweet, though.

Report out today says that a search of GZ's girlfriends house found 5 guns and 106 rounds of ammo that belong to Zimmerman.
I know that this was supposed to show how 'gun crazy' the guy is, but my only reaction was:
What effing idiot only has 106 rounds of ammo?

IIRC he was with 2nd Armored Div, stationed in Germany so I guess that would make him part of the forwrd contingent.
He was primarily Anti-aircraft (Stinger missiles). But since there weren't anymore Iraqi planes, he was basically a groundpounder.

He definitley went across the border as part of the big push from out west. Was very fortunate in that, although the tanks saw action, he never saw any. Hell, he said that it was tough enough just trying to keep up with the tanks.

The European manufacturer of an emergency contraceptive pill identical to Plan B, also known as the morning-after pill, will warn women that the drug is completely ineffective for women who weigh more than 176 pounds and begins to lose effectiveness in women who weigh more than 165 pounds. HRA Pharma, the French manufacturer of the European drug, Norlevo, is changing its packaging information to reflect the weight limits. European pharmaceutical regulators approved the change on November 10, but it has not been previously reported.
This development has implications for American women. Some of the most popular emergency contraceptive pills sold over the counter in the United States—including the one-pill drugs Plan B One-Step, Next Choice One Dose, and My Way, and a number of generic two-pill emergency contraceptives—have a dosage and chemical makeup identical to the European drug. Weight data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that, at 166 pounds, the average American woman is too heavy to use these pills effectively.
Data for the years 2007 to 2010 show the average weight of American women 20 years and older is 166.2 pounds—greater than the weight at which emergency contraceptive pills that use levonorgestrel begin to lose their effectiveness. The average weight of non-Hispanic black women aged 20 to 39 is 186 pounds, well above the weight at which these pills are completely ineffective.

More than half a year after the IRS targeting scandal broke in May, federal investigators have still not contacted any of the 41 conservative groups represented in the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) lawsuit against the IRS.
Though the FBI and IRS both launched investigations into the wrongdoing, and Eric HolderÂ’s Justice Department vowed to cooperate with the FBI probe, none of these agencies have contacted the ACLJÂ’s clients to figure out what happened.
“It’s now been more than six months since the public revelation of the IRS targeting scheme. The Obama Administration — including the White House — has repeatedly promised that an investigation would ensue and that we would get to the bottom of this unlawful and unconstitutional scheme. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be happening. To date, not one of our 41 clients has been contacted by the FBI, the Justice Department or any other federal investigative agency,” ACLJ chief counsel Jay Sekulow told The Daily Caller.

Heh. When I go to the parents' house, it's often for an occasion where my mom is cooking. And she's a big fan of those biscuits. She puts the peeled can down in the sink and opens it with the edge of a spoon.
So when I see her put the can down into the sink, I sneak up behind her and go 'Pow!'.
When she gets down from the ceiling, she beats the shit out of me with the spoon. It's great fun. The scars hardly show at all.

Keep in mind, a 5% increase in the white vote for Romney would have won the election, while a 70% share of the hispanic vote would have made no difference.
If they wanna make this a race game, whites are still the majority.
Posted by: BSR (aka Rifle aka Tufek) at November 26, 2013 12:57 AM (3wrJ+)
And that's the big reason people getting all excited that "OMG Christie got 51% of the Hispanic vote in his reelection," are dumb as hell. Because at that level it still wouldn't have mattered in 2012. And its not going to matter in 2016 either. So pandering specifically to Hispanic, especially in the stupid way of thinking that all they care about is legalizing the Mexicans that broke the law getting here is a fools errand. Explains why so many of the GOP establishment are obsessed with it.

I light 'em up and replace everything with proper wattage and bases two weeks before I throw 'em on the house.
I light 'em up before I climb a ladder.
By the time I plug 'em in at the top of the roof? 1/2 - 1/3 of them are unlit.
I get 'em lit?
...four bulbs need re-replacing.
The house looks good, though. If I do say so, myself.

The BH made a run at doing the lights over the weekend, and is now frustrated that others in the neighborhood have more stuff operating than she does......despite my repeated comments that anyone lighting Christmas lights before Thanksgiving is either Disney or heathens.

But many of those seminars have been sparsely attended. A free health insurance exchange seminar and dinner scheduled last week in Bloomfield was cancelled due to a lack of response.
“We advertised for three weeks before, put it on our reader board and hand-delivered invitations to various doctor’s offices and small businesses,” said Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce President Janet Mackey. “We only had seven people RSVP, and since we were also going to be providing dinner, we thought with so few people it would be a waste of resources.”
Three weeks of advertising PLUS free dinner....bwahahahaha
They should have claimed they were selling timeshares to get a better response.

According to the enrollment notice, the changes are “to relieve future health plan trend pressure and to put the university in a position to avoid the excise tax that becomes effective in 2018.” The 40 percent excise tax—often called the “Cadillac tax”— is part of Obamacare and is levied on the most generous health plans. It’s designed to bring down overall health costs by making companies and workers more cost-conscious. The thinking is that if consumers have to pay more expenses themselves, through higher deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses, they’ll avoid unnecessary or overly costly procedures. And that is supposed to make care more affordable for everyone.

Anyone who seems to think that there was no conspiracy to kill Kennedy is not dealing with reality or with people who actually know how Washington and certain areas of the country worked.
LBJ orchestrated the whole thing for two reasons: 1) The Kennedy brothers were about to blow the lid off corruption, and 2) LBJ was about to be thrown off the ticket, and he did not want that.
Yes, Oswald more than likely killed the guy. But to treat it as a one man, one plan, three shots idea is not only stupid, but delusional as well.

Here's "the rub": I believe it was akin to olive oil, or something as innocuous. "Our Betters" have deemed this a "Safety Hazard" and we must be saved from ourselves.

I had 1100 on my tree alone last year, it looked like a fucking supernova. Frigging tree takes 2 full days to do. I have been collecting those hallmark star trek ornaments along with a few star wars ones, so there is probably 35 star ships to unwrap and plug in. Then there is the wife's Hersheys collectables tbat all need to be unwrapped and hung, and some vintage ones my mom had since she was young, and some from when I was a kid, and all the shit we picked up over the years on various vacations. every year we add more. I'm ready to build a closet for the thing so I can just roll the sucker in and roll it out next year.

The open question is "how will it unwind?" Note that this is not the same as "will it unwind?", which is pretty much a given. Every day, we are testing new boundary conditions and exploring further how much closer we can be to the edge.....but what happens after we go over?
My undergraduate degree is actually in Economics.....and, I'm sorry to say, that's no practical advantage. For example, wildly increasing the money supply inevitably results in inflation.....but only after a time-lag. How long that lag is, what signs there are of its immanent collapse, and how fast it will burn once ignited were "beyond the scope of this course."

No, which is why you should be thinking of how your life should be arranged so that you don't much care. Whether that means downsizing your lifestyle, reclaiming your health, paying off your debts and not undertaking new ones, or whatever -- anyone who thinks that things will be just as they are today in 10 years is delusional.

I was giving incompetence a chance but all I got left is deliberate malicious action.
even in obamacare, thee were no unintended consequences by obama and his minions, they wrote it into law, it is written on paper. obama did not simply pick winners and losers in industry, he is literally picking winners and losers at the individual level.
Posted by: yankeefifth at November 26, 2013 03:36 AM (ya3AJ)
There are plenty of unintended consequences -- just none that come from pursuing John Stuart Mill's "greatest good for the greatest number." I'm sure the unions weren't supposed to realize their balls were in the vise until the self-employed were squeezed out of existence. Instead, as frequently happens in epic tales, the evil plan that was meant to crush the enemy first is also crushing some "allies".
Mind you, there's a fundamental difference between that and a good plan that is causing minor hardship along the way. Obamacare was crafted, first and foremost, to shaft people. The fact that it's fundamentally based on redistribution and includes Death Panels should disabuse any rational person of any doubt -- even without getting to Obama's "give granny a pill instead of a pacemaker" [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-dQfb8WQvo ].
The thing is, once you start the Liverpool Care Pathway [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Care_Pathway_for_the_dying_patient ] -- once you start politically determining who should "die, already, dammit!" -- where do you stop? Once you decide that it is your role to mete out life and death, how can you step away from deciding?

And, on a completely unrelated topic, I'm seeing a lot of our military -- people who I am grateful for and cherish -- mustering out. I know this must tear them up because they know they have brothers-in-arms still inside that they cannot protect, cannot cover their six. And, yet, I am thankful. Because I want those people -- trained, battle-hardened, the best in the world -- to be well interspersed among Americans when the consequences of this profligacy begin to be felt. Too many other countries have ordered their military to crack down on their righteously angry citizens.....I'd prefer that such would be unthinkable.

When you say, "There is NO POSSIBLE WAY for me to keep this up more than a month or so." -- that is saying that you should have been fixing things a month ago. Reduce expenditures drastically. If you can't figure a way to keep from falling behind each month, things will only continue to get worse -- pumping air into a leaky tire only wears you out.
There are a lot of people out there who are getting pinched, and it's gut-wrenching to see people get clobbered....but the first steps to getting through are fairly straightforward.

As to clubbing baby seals. I remember back in the days before the internet, there was a humorous dead tree publication that ran an article about how a cure for cancer was discovered in the brains of baby harp seals that had been clubbed to death. It could not be synthesized any other way and the clubbing to death was an absolute requirement.
