As Pelosi said, embrace the suck my friends. Looks like fracking is the only thing that enabled some positive increase in household income. More Maps

I know you morons like maps so here's another one. A map of the weirdest sex laws in the United States.

Your Government At Work

Hmmmm. Is the FCC going after the NFL for not hawkin' Obamacare? FCC moves to end televised sports blackouts.

Chuck Norris Responds

Your move Jean-Claude.

Wonder Woman

OK, first they cast Ben Afleck as Batman and now it seems Gal Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman for Batman vs Superman. I'm not sure she's got the figure for it.

Dive Bar

So what exactly is the criteria to get a bar labeled as a dive bar?

Budget Deal Reaction

Western states hit hard by budget deal's tweak to oil, gas royalties.

“I don’t think it’s a good deal at all,” New Mexico State Treasurer James B. Lewis told New Mexico Watchdog Thursday. “New Mexico needs every dime, every nickel we can get. It looks like it’s permanent and it’s sad that we didn’t get a voice in it.”

Psst. James (a democrat), you have a voice in the form of your two democrat senators, who voted yes for it, and 3 representatives in the house, where the two democrats voted yes. Guess you should've elected different folks to represent your states interests no?

Recut Die Hard Trailer

Tis the season! Blooper reel stuff inserted into the original trailer.

5 Sliding Down the Slippery Slope to Polygamy Remember when same-sex marriage declared it was ridiculous to compare same-sex marriage with polygamy, and how same-sex marriage would never, ever lead us down the road towards polygamy? Utah’s anti-Polygamy law has in large part been struck down because it criminalizes “the private consensual relations of adults.” This logic was based on the Supreme Court’s ruling in Lawrence vs. Texas (which overturned Texas’ anti-Sodomy law). The ruling doesn’t overturn the state’s restriction of marriage licenses between more than two people, however it does mean that it is legal to live as a married group. This is not just a strawman argument or playing the devil’s advocate. Bigamy has effectively been declared legal in North Dakota. More: http://politicalhat.com/?p=4481

9 Repost from tail end of previous thread: Has anyone mentioned Mark Steyn's new post just up on NRO? Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/mtl5rft Here's an excerpt: Some of my comrades, who really should know better, wonder why, instead of insisting Robertson be defenestrated, GLAAD wouldn’t rather “start a conversation.” But, if you don’t need to, why bother? Most Christian opponents of gay marriage oppose gay marriage; they don’t oppose the right of gays to advocate it. Yet thug groups like GLAAD increasingly oppose the right of Christians even to argue their corner. It’s quicker and more effective to silence them. As Christian bakers ordered to provide wedding cakes for gay nuptials and many others well understand, America’s much-vaunted “freedom of religion” is dwindling down to something you can exercise behind closed doors in the privacy of your own abode or at a specialist venue for those of such tastes for an hour or so on Sunday morning, but when you enter the public square you have to leave your faith back home hanging in the closet. Yet even this reductive consolation is not permitted to Robertson: GLAAD spokesgay Wilson Cruz declared that “Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil’s lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe.” Robertson was quoting the New Testament, but hey, what do those guys know? In today’s America, land of the Obamacare Pajama Boy, Jesus is basically Nightshirt Boy, a fey non-judgmental dweeb who’s cool with whatever. What GLAAD is attempting would be called, were it applied to any other identity group, “cultural appropriation.” Read the whole thing - it is one of the things yet written about this watershed moment in the culture wars.

Posted by: gewa76 at December 20, 2013 10:12 PM (k8m83) Interesting ... From the NRO post by Mark Steyn I linked above at comment 9, another excerpt: Here are two jokes one can no longer tell on American television. But you can still find them in the archives, out on the edge of town, in Sub-Basement Level 12 of the ever-expanding Smithsonian Mausoleum of the Unsayable. First, Bob Hope, touring the world in the year or so after the passage of the 1975 Consenting Adult Sex Bill: “I’ve just flown in from California, where they’ve made homosexuality legal. I thought I’d get out before they make it compulsory.”#ad# For Hope, this was an oddly profound gag, discerning even at the dawn of the Age of Tolerance that there was something inherently coercive about the enterprise. Soon it would be insufficient merely to be “tolerant” -- warily accepting, blithely indifferent, mildly amused, tepidly supportive, according to taste. The forces of “tolerance” would become intolerant of anything less than full-blown celebratory approval. Second joke from the archives: Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra kept this one in the act for a quarter-century. On stage, Dino used to have a bit of business where he’d refill his tumbler and ask Frank, “How do you make a fruit cordial?” And Sinatra would respond, “I dunno. How do you make a fruit cordial?” And Dean would say, “Be nice to him.”

Over at cruise travel site The National Review, aggressively pro-gay marriage Managing Editor Jason Lee Steorts has a wee hours post that semi-condemns the DDucks and those defending them in the typically effete NR fashion:

"I can’t agree with Mark Steyn that anything of value is lost when derogatory epithets go out of bounds in polite society. They tend to be bad even for humor, substituting stereotype and cliché for originality. People who used them in different times need not be regarded as monstrous, nor must the canon be censored; we could instead feel good about having awoken to a greater civility and make generous allowances for human fallibility.

By way of criticizing speech, IÂ’ll say that I found the derogatory language in this column, and especially the slur in its borrowed concluding joke, both puerile in their own right and disappointing coming from a writer of such talent."

Outstanding! I put my fog light in the Mustang this morning, you may remember I hit a dog and broke it. Well, when I took the car apart I found that not only did I break the light, I also have a nice little crack in the bumper cover right around the light and the splash guard in the left wheel well has split where the screw holds the bumper cover on. Fortunately its all cosmetic and everything is hidden underneath the valence, but I know it's there and so I'm not a happy camper. I haven't priced that bumper cover yet, but I know my body guy would be GLAD to paint it for me...for a nominal fee...



BTW...the dog lived. The Neighbor of the Beast (apparently the dog is a real asshole) asked me if I could come by and hit it again. I said Hell no, not with that car!

This weekend is looking to be good. Tomorrow is the gun show (only about twice a year in my part of SoCal), and on Sun I drive up to see the family for the next week. And while I've never really been big into shotguns, I've decided to pick one up this weekend as my Christmas present to myself. Some variety of Mossberg 500 or 590 most likely. Yay me.

Now I am feeling very melancholy. I know tomorrow morning I can sleep in and I will make my Chocolate Peppermint coffee that I have been hoarding. My heart however is very heavy. I am so very sad that there is so much hate in the world. This time of year I want more than anything that there be peace. I also know that it will never be. Until the Muslim religion is wiped from the face of the earth there will never be peace. A pox on them all. May they all burn in eternal hell. Amen and pass the ammo.

Apparently here in NC there's a church doing a gun buyback, not sanctioned by the state. Someone was questioning the legality of them accepting handguns unless there is someone with a stack of pistol purchase permits or a CHL to accept them. I volunteered to be the CHL guy, cause then all those lovely handguns would be MINE ALL MINE (since otherwise it would be a straw purchase, which is of course illegal...)

120 #83: Was Western Electric a Westinghouse company? George Westinghouse was pretty much the original cool boss. He was hiring women in the 1870s, and he came up with the idea of the break room and free coffee for employees. He may have been a bit too much of a cool boss, as he almost bankrupted his company in the 1890s by refusing to lay off anyone during a severe economic downturn.

But it wound up working out for him. One key factor that helped him was that Nicola Tesla had a lot of respect for him... that's saying something, because Tesla didn't give his respect cheaply... and he freed Westinghouse from paying royalties to him for his innovations because he understood Westinghouse was struggling to keep all his employees on the payroll. Considering Tesla ended up dying a pauper, that was a huge sacrifice on his part.

127 Hmmmm. Is the FCC going after the NFL for not hawking’ Obamacare? Our government has gotten worse over the years. It’s more intrusive since SCOAMF was elected. Someone said on FNC today that they should ask the JEF at his press conference if he thought he would have won the election last year if everyone knew “If you like your health insurance, you can keep it, period” was a lie. I usually turn it off when I’m not watching it or if I see TFG but I was too tired to reach for the remote. I wish someone would ask him that question!

128 Christ has officially been removed from Christmas. At least that was the case at one middle school on Long Island, New York, where its holiday-concert chorus sang a version of Silent Night that had all references to "the savior" and "holy infant" removed by school administrators. But the effort to avoid alienating people seems to have backfired.

"It's offensive," one father of a student at the Ralph J. Osgood Intermediate School in Kings Park told CBS New York. "If you're going to remove words to not offend other religions, what about the religion that that song belongs to, which is Christianity?"

At the meeting, administrators were quick to say they were sorry to anyone they offended. "I apologize for that — it's the last thing anybody intended. Going forward, it's not going to happen again. They will be more cautious and cognizant of this particular issue when they select a song," Superintendent Susan Agruso noted at the meeting. "They meant nothing wrong. Clearly, we could have done something different, and in the future we will."




Bullshit. They knew exactly what they were doing and those kids need to be pulled from that school immediately. Let the commie assholes have an empty school to run

167 Just returned from a lovely open house.  The polar opposite of what my life coach s-i-l will have on Christmas day.

30+ people under one roof, drinking, eating at a simple buffet.  We all walked into the back yard to watch an amazing full moon over the still water of the marsh behind their house, perfectly mirrored on the water.

Magical, calming, warm, welcoming.

I'd give anything if my evil money-obsessed s-i-l would host the same at her house on Christmas.  The stupid bitch just told me the expensive cake I ordered for her Christmas day "celebration" had better be coconut (it's not) or she'll be disappointed.

How I miss simple, loving, fun Christmas days.  I guess until D'oh's mom peels off, we'll be going through this fresh hell Every. Single. Christmas. Day.

Okay, that dive bar list is seriously lame. Obviously written by one of those hipsters who only goes to dive bars ironically.

True dive bars open before noon.

At least 25% of the barstools run the risk of falling apart and driving one of the legs up your rectum if you sneeze

No one under the age of 40 drinks there until after 5pm

The decor is always "random shit tacked to the walls that would go for $10 total on Storage Wars"

If you try to buy meth from the dealer in the men's room, he'll accuse you of being "snooty" for wanting the good stuff.

There's always one middle aged woman that pisses off the whole bar by buying a 3 hour block of weepy country ballads on the jukebox every Saturday night.

214 "States like New Mexico and Wyoming each have vast tracts of lands owned by the federal government where energy companies extract oil and gas. In the past, the feds and the states split the royalty payments 50-50, but under the provisions of the new budget deal, the split will shift to 51-49 in favor of the federal government." That's the way the ball bounces when you have a federal government that just keeps on getting bigger and bigger. It's appetite for revenue grows accordingly.

Our CFO shook my hand and we exchanged Merry Christmas today without a hint of irony. And our busses all say Merry Christmas on them. It's a small thing but, holy shit, you notice it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But in Canada, aren't there efforts to require churches to marry gays who insist or else lose their tax exempt status, and to preclude churches from teaching doctrine that is not gay-friendly? I am not up on the latest, but those efforts were hot not long ago and I presume they still may be. So Canada is further down the "post-modern" humanist anti-Christian path than I would want, which is a shame.

I used to go to a bar called the Bare Bear Beer Emporium in Bemidji MN to shoot pool.

They decided they needed another room for a second pool table so they took a sawz-all to the back wall to cut it out into the storage area one night.

 

Pretty fun place and really good pool shooters. First time in public I dropped the eight-ball on the break playing eight-ball, and I had about 8 of my buddies buy me beers to celebrate.

Not yet but that might be because the federal Conservatives have a majority government. And the Conservatives also tossed the infamous Section 13 of the federal human rights code that was the "hurt feelings" clause.

Provincial human rights commissions have fined a few and in one case censored Christians publicly stating their positions in print and fined a Knights of Columbus hall from not holding a lesbian wedding celebration (like the U.S. bakery recently) and fined a standup comedian for offending (heckling) lesbians that you're probably thinking of.

I told him I haven’t been reading my own personal emails at all this week. I just thought of this and may be overreacting, but I lost my voice Friday afternoon and got sick late Saturday. I haven’t improved. if I”m not better Monday I am going to the doctor, I would hate to end up with the strep infections that paralyzed my brother. I doubt i could have picked up anything from him, I left there on October 25. But the nurses etc had to wear gowns & gloves even to bring him a coffee. They told me I would be fine. I always had my own fork when we ate together, twice.

Drivers this month are working from 8 or 9am until DOT rules mandate they get off the road, usually around 10:30 or 11pm. The situation on the ground is a clusterfuck that HHS would envy. Ever seen the bit in Fight Club about recalls? It works the same way with people not receiving their packages. It happens thousands of times everyday and doesn't make a dent in their bottom line.

588 So the other day i was meeting with a client. She's a black gal, real nice, we were having an excellent conversation. At one point the conversation turned to black vs white culture, " it's a black thing", etc. After a few minutes i snapped my fingers and said " no, you know what is a black thing? All those black comedians who dress up as women and make movies. That's a black thing, you don't see white comics doing that." Without missing a beat she looked at me and said "Adam Sandler". Well played madam, well played.

603 I'm worried about Deety. She's facing some seriously tough times, and she keeps talking about things in the past and how she got there.....when she desperately needs to focus on the future and how to get through it. You can't change the past. You're as messed-up now if you were living in a slum or the Taj Mahal; if you lost money to gambling or to a freak meteor strike you're still broke -- and you need to get a plan for going forward.



I was trying to get that through to her last night and just conked out, 'cause it was way past my bedtime. I've been fretting since.

604 Hi again everyone.

So what exactly is the criteria to get a bar labeled as a dive bar?

Not sure, but I would venture to say that the very first bar I ever spent some time at was definitely a dive. Somewhat dusty, dark, in a slightly run-down late 1960s/early 1970s building, with a prime rib restaurant side of the property and even a bottle shop. It was probably a nice place back in the late 1970s.

I was invited there numerous times back in the 1990s when I had co-workers who were actually more interested in being friendly and nice than PC and tough-assed.

Anybody ever heard of or been to Bruce's in Santa Fe Springs, California?

610 Drag is at the point where it has to be REALLY funny to work anymore.

Back in the late 1940s/50s, Milton Berle could get a laugh just showing up onstage in drag. By now, it takes a somewhat outrageous character like Madea to make it work.

I actually kind of like/admire Tyler Perry however. He seems to have good values, even for an Obama supporter.

He's gay, Jewish, most likely a Democrat in Hollywood, and even though he obviously didn't like what Phil Robertson said, he's been calling out A&E for their hypocrisy since the whole Duck Dynasty debacle got started.

He also ran a poll at the TMZ site asking: should Robertson have been suspended for his comments? Although I SERIOUSLY doubt most of his readers/viewers are conservatives, the response was "no" by a factor of 4 to 1.

I actually had someone working for me who had a pregnancy where the developing fetus robbed enough calcium out of her body, that she ended up losing her natural teeth and had a set of false teeth. She actually said, in my presence (referring to a handsome man), "I'd take my teeth out for him."

672 So if I go through Millington TN it will take about 12 hours to get there and there is a Navy Lodge there (wow, lotta "there"s there). After that it's about 7 1/2 hours to KC and a little over 2 home. So if I leave here early (say 7 or I'll get into Millington without killing myself at about 7 or 8 that night, good dinner, stay the night and head out NLT 8 in the morning, I'll be in KC around 4 PM or so. It's a bit longer than going through the PRofI, but I think it will be worth it.

I do get a certain latitude as an independent contractor. Funny thing is, only complaint I've ever gotten came from a woman who called my boss and complained that I had "insulted her carpet" ( floor, not mons Venus). We didnt have any kind of conversation even remotely like above, but I know she was actually upset that I had insulted her Messiah because I had frankly and professionally discussed with her the fact that Obamacide was going to be a disaster, and told her why. I could see her stiffen up and get defensive. Boss laughed it off.

722 Well, since music came up.....here's a little something I saw in a small club in San Jose. One of the things you don't get in stadium videos is that Fish (the lead singer) is a seriously big dude -- well in excess of six feet.....and that Trewavas (the bassist) is really tiny....maybe five feet. There are some shots in this vid where it's confusing what the perspective is unless you know that.




Before I get to the video, I want to point out that this small club had candles on the tables, and during the instrumental intro Fish stepped down into the audience, swooped one up, and held his hand over it while he sang the entire first verse. It's quite an effective way of getting an audience's attention. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hZnf-_XNiU

#654, you want to talk about an unconvincing action star in person? Bruce Willis. Met him on his Iraq tour in '03. Guy comes up to about my chin and is about as wide across the shoulders as I am across the chest, so I'm guessing him for 5'4 and maybe a buck forty as I was 6'1 and 235 at the time. Also had the softest hands of any man I have ever shaken with. Nice guy, don't get me wrong, but meeting him I had to wonder how he pulled some of the ass he's pulled.

It reminds me of the Greek female athlete who was sent home from the olympics because of this joke: what did the west nile mosquito say when it migrated to Greece? Hmmm, home cooking.

And apparently she's one of their own, but she committed the almighty sin of joking about race or sexual orientation so away she goes. But the lefty cannibals are selective for some reason. Apparently Sarah Silverman once joked that when life gives you AIDS, make LemonAIDS. A slightly better joke but really, any less offensive for the eternally outraged? Yet she's a goddess in the gay community because, what, she plays one on TV? Bizarre. And ironically (or not, who knows at this point), as a group the eternalragers are horrible, judgmental, and (dare I say it) intolerant people. What a bunch of freaks.

823 You know what, chi? I have been posting this over the past couple of days. Maybe you would find it helpful? Tonight is the longest night of the year. Churches often have low key, reflective services that deal with the losses that people have had or are having I don't know where you live, but if you google or bing "Longest Night of Year Service" and your home town they might over one there or in a town nearbye. There have been times in my life, because of grief and emotional pain that Christmas was very hard hard. I always appreciated the religious significance, but when your friends betray or hurt you or you lost a job or are dealing with loved ones who are very ill, it can be helpful to hear about God's presence with them, Here's a little article about what a "longest night service" is like: http://preview.tinyurl.com/n4ee3m4 I will continue to pray for you.

844 If I amy offer a suggestion. If coming back to church after a time away a Lutheran Church might be your best bet. You get the scripture and Holy Communion (if you want the latter) and sermon but not the emotional intensity of a Pentecostal church. Don't get me wrong. All of them would have lovely Christian folks I'm sure and my own style can go from somewhat charismatic to high church but something more subdued might be your best bet. The Lutheran Church might have a "longest night service too" I have never been to a Seventh Day Adventist Church so I don't know what their services are like, although I've known some lovely people who go to one The Lutheran Church might have a "longest night" service today. I'm sorry it is such a hard time for you. That stinks.

845 Shredded Chi, I'm sorry you are feeling so low lately. I hope you feel happier soon.

846 I have a friend who's a retired math teacher and she has someone she tutors who is some Middle Eastern Country (not ones where they're killing Christians like Crazy) She always loved Christtmas carols and a tree and her Muslim family had a Christmas tree. She's back home and she says "I miss Christmas in the U;S". I gather her family are moderate Muslims so as far as what people do on Christmas you never know.

848 Unless the Lutheran Church is a more conservative one and they don't give holy communion to people who aren't Lutheran.

849 Thanks, Fen. I guess without actually asking, that's kind of what I was asking for. I'll stop by the Lutheran church in a little while to see what it's about. Not much of a website. I've been in such a dark place lately, it scares me. I need something... Just something to pull me out. Carol, thank you. I don't pray, but know that you and Paul are on my mind. If good thoughts count for anything, know that I've been sending them your way.

850 Thank you, Shredded Chi. I gave Paul phone number & name of admissions director of very good nursing home in MA. I called Tuesday & there is no waiting list. I can't do it, it has to be initiated at hospital from social worker. He wants to come home to where his kids, me, & friends are.
