Potatoes!
In all forms.
And that means there's only one thing to do: Potato Parties
One of the Lesser Known Benefits of Nationalized Health Care
Is that you get to pay for sad girls having their breasticles enlarged to 36DD.
Would you be OK with your tax dollars going to provide big beautiful fake breasts to members of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee? Yes? Then you should move to jolly 'ol England! It all started when a chick named Josie Cunningham decided that she couldn't live with her tiny tits anymore. She wants to be a model and they tend to have larger udders than a 12 year old boy. But how is she going to pay for a £4800 surgery on a £9000 a year salary? Lucky for Josie, Great Britain has government sponsored healthcare. All she had to do was go to her doc and tell him that her small breasteses were making her depressed and before you can say "Kate Middleton Ain't Shaint Her Taint", Josie had brand spanking new 36 DD tits. Blimey!
Don't you understand - she was completely disabled by her lack of the boobehs. Luckily in the modern UK being poor doesn't keep you from getting the treatment you need in order to live wear a bikini.
Her doctor's prescription to counter the "emotional distress" was to enhance her breast size from a 32A to 36DD.
...Cunningham says her new boobs have changed her life and she "can't wait to do topless and swimsuit photo shoots and become the new Katie Price," notes Opposing View.
"I want the world to see the new me and I want money and fame just like Katie -and my new boobs can make it all happen," she added.
Dare to dream 36DD big!
But then in today's UK your boob-job will be paid for by the government but you're not allowed to fly in your military dress uniform on airlines lest you offend someone.
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.
Alabama Democrat Explains His Views on Fellow Alabamans
He wasn't specific but I'm guessing he had the melanin-challenged mostly in mind here.
State Rep. Joe Mitchell, D-Mobile, had an outlandish exchange via email with a Jefferson County man who asked him and other lawmakers not to pass any laws that would restrict gun ownership.
Mitchell responded from his public, ALHouse.gov email account at 11:59 p.m., telling Maxwell: "Your folk never used all this sheit (sic) to protect my folk from your slave-holding, murdering, adulterous, baby-raping, incestuous, snaggle-toothed, backward-a**ed, inbreed (sic), imported criminal-minded kin folk."
Mitchell's spelling clearly needs work and he seems a bit confused about the meaning of the word imported as well as the fact that there isn't a special 2nd Amendment just for people of non-pallor.
Nearly 5% of the entire US population are officially disabled and unable to work despite all our modern medical advances and ADA accommodations.
In the past three decades, the number of Americans who are on disability has skyrocketed. The rise has come even as medical advances have allowed many more people to remain on the job, and new laws have banned workplace discrimination against the disabled. Every month, 14 million people now get a disability check from the government.
The federal government spends more money each year on cash payments for disabled former workers than it spends on food stamps and welfare combined. Yet people relying on disability payments are often overlooked in discussions of the social safety net. People on federal disability do not work. Yet because they are not technically part of the labor force, they are not counted among the unemployed.
And no one wants to talk about it because then you're beating up on the 'disabled'.
Imam: U.S. Aid to Egypt Constitutes JizyaTax
Jizya tax is the special tax imposed on non-Muslims who live under Muslim rule according to the Qur'an and hadith. And when the Egyptians run out of hard currency and food in about a year we can impose our own you-made-your-bed-so-go-fuck-yourself jizya.

Older Flying Truck/Bomber Gets an Upgrade
The B-52s just keep flying and flying even as their technology gets better and better.
According to the Air Force, the new pods provide the aging airframe with a boost in capabilities. "This flight was the first time that the 2nd BW has used the sniper pod with live ordnance like the [Laser guided bomb]," said Allen. "This pod gives a faster response time to our targets. What would normally take me 30 to 40 button presses in five minutes now only takes me a few seconds to actually target and drop munitions."

Guys, Faking a Knife Attack to Impress Your Date Requires a Little Finesse
Twenty-six-year-old Tyler Siegel of Jonesboro, Arkansas, went all out to impress his date, but not with, like, flowers and a fancy dinner or something like that. Oh no. As a little end of the evening surprise, he arranged to have his friend pretend to be a criminal and attack the couple at knifepoint while strolling through a local park. Oh, yeah, because women really love those kinds of surprises!You can probably guess that the fake attack didn't go all that well. His date ran off when the "attacker" appeared (imagine that!) losing a shoe, injuring her leg and calling the cops while Siegel stayed behind and pretended to fight the guy off. Siegel even went as far as to sustain real/fake injuries to the wrist and chest to make it all seem legit. The lengths this man went to woo!
Siegel's ruse failed to impress his date. Especially after police discovered that Siegel had orchestrated the whole thing.
Worse she found out and thinks he's a creepy loser who can't even stage a simple robbery.

IIRC at the end of Desert Storm there was talking of pairing a B-52 loaded with nothing but 500lb LGBs with an F-111F to designate. Plink to death a Republican Guard unit. But the 100 hour war ran out before it could be done.

Diameter across the boobehs is for determining cup size--that's what goes up when you get fake funbags. Band size you measure under the boobehs, around the ribs--that shouldn't change unless you lose or gain non-boobeh weight.
When I lost weight in 2008-9, my band size went down, but the, er, volume stayed the same so the cup size increased.

You planned a trip to Idaho
Just to watch potatoes grow
I understand how you must feel
I can't deny they've got appeal
Whoah
You like them whether they are plain or they're stuffed, oh yeah
Better face the facts, it seems you can't get enough
You know, you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to spuds

A pulp title generator spat up 'The Seventh Courtesan.' MWR asked if that was like 'The Seventh Seal' so batted out the following. Kinda blue in prose and Conan-esque.
"Sluggor cracked the Seventh Courtesan, who was named Moonlight Rain, to reach his ultimate goal. For he sought the Queen of the Courtesan Corps. If he conquered her, he would be forever famous and powerful. Thus when Moonlight Rain fell all was revealed for Sluggor. The multiple panels of fine silk in pastel shades and gold thread parted to reveal the Queen in her own boudoir. With a powerful stride and the sweat of recent sex dripping off him he went to claim his destiny. She had a body both voluptuous and sleek he could see, it was barely encased in pale pink silk and languidly laid out across silk pillows. Her face was veiled in rose colored silk so all Sluggor could see was the soft doe brown eyes pulling him forward. He reached her side and went to one knee, with a trembling hand Sluggor lifted the face veil away to kiss the Queen imagining soft lips that would welcome him.
That is when the screaming started. For the visage hidden under the rose colored veil was that of a hag with deep wrinkles and leathery skin. The soft as petal lips became those of chapped brown leather while the imagined pearl white teeth became the sharp teeth of a barracuda. Sluggor tried to break free but her arms had the strength of five men it seemed and they held him in place. As Sluggor fearfully shut his eyes at the approaching teeth all he could think of was the warning of the Wise Man of the Mountain he had consulted before embarking on this quest - 'Watch out boy she's a man-eater.' Then Sluggor knew nothing else of this world."

Yes, that is my wife. If you saw the post earlier this month of my stepson graduating from basic training, she appears in those as well. Kind of hard to fake those.
I think she is quite beautiful for a woman about to turn 50.
Posted by: EC at March 28, 2013 11:18 PM (doBIb)
I suspect that it would be actually (not apparently) skeevy if your wife were much younger and had just discovered how to manipulate men with her sexuality -- and capitalized on that in all of her interactions. That sort of loose cannon (and/or "loose woman") causes no end of trouble in society, and is rightly looked upon as someone who should feel shame....even if not actually giving congressional testimony about $3,000/year birth control.
By contrast, your wife seems quite happy to be beautiful in your eyes (and lens).

More purple prose than blue.
Blue is sexually explicit text.
Purple is over-wrought stuff that stacks adjectives and adverbs like a honking, smoking traffic jam outside a packed-to-rafters tea-house in the middle of colonial, red-district Hong Kong during a hot, rancid, moss-covered August with a windy, rainy, slippery monsoon bearing down on you.

Big discussion here about guilt--one of our local liberals was bleating about white guilt and our ongoing burden that we carry.
A puzzlement to me why anyone should feel an iota of guilt for anything unless it was an action he/she is directly responsible for.

Bloody hell, my folks were here before the Revolutionary War, and I think I should be able to demand reparations for the affirmative action bullshit I have had to put up with for most of my natural life. That's how much white guilt I've got. Until I moved to the Lower 48, I don't think I even know that I WAS white. Racist bullshit, all of it.

Hey man, I actually enjoy watching C-Span 2 and 3. Especially on weekend late nights. Often they'll be running an old tape of a tour through a 19th Century President's mansion or what not. Last weekend was Andrew Jackson's turn.
A few weeks ago, for whatever reason, they ran tape of a Montana University lecturer speaking on the moral and legal history in America of eugenics. Buck v. Bell and that sort of stuff. Thankfully (at least to me), he never brought politics into the discussion... and neither did his students, who had plenty of questions, except to mention that eugenic theories and studies were all the rage across the entire political spectrum from the late 1800s to about 1955 or so.
Anyway, interesting stuff. A lot of folks (men and women, but mostly women) were sterilized just as a part of various states' policy for an awfully long time. A lot of those laws were never really repealed, either... they're just either forgotten or completely ignored/unenforced today.

I'd recommend a nice visit to the Walt Disney Family Museum. After about the third time that distributors ripped off his creations, Walt got a little weird about contracts. This served him well when "The Florida Project" scammed the ownership of a huge chunk of central Florida using more than a thousand "cutouts" (fictitious purchasers).

Also, sometimes he comes off quite the "Latino/Chicano Power!!1!" guy, but on the other hand, he was genuinely upset when a classic German-style bar at Old Town Village in Huntington Beach announced they were closing their doors for good a few weeks back. Lots of other stuff like that about him as well, like his most recent book, "Taco USA," about the history of Mexican food in the United States. By his own admission, Gustavo started off a complete cultural food snob... and now he says he appreciates everybody who serves anything like it, even Taco Bell. "Taco USA" also contains a fairly positive portrayal of Taco Bell's founder, Glen Bell, who before becoming a fast-food millionaire in the 1960s was an active-duty Marine.

In "Taco USA," Gustavo talks a lot about how Americans of European ancestry "ripped off" genuine Mexican (and other Central/South American) recipes and food preparation traditions. It was a German-American guy named Gebhardt, for instance, who offered the first "chili powders" in grocery stores for sale; Gebhardt also sold a "Mexican food kit" early in the 20th century, along with a booklet of recipes, and ended up being one of the first to really popularize Mexican-style cuisine (which at the time was more often called "Spanish" food) in the USA.
Yet at the same time, Gustavo seems to accept that that's just the way business is done, everywhere. Everybody steals everything from everybody else. The entrepreneurial "winner" is often just the guy or gal who manged to capitalize on their "new" ideas the soonest and the most. Arellano appears to accept that, rather than rail against it in the book.

The legend I'm familiar with says the Margarita came out of a fashionable Mexican Pacific-Coast resort, with the original recipe being tequila, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and confectioner's sugar, all shaken over ice and then strained into the requisite salt-rimmed glass (specifically a highball glass, no ice). If you've ever tried one that way, they're great. In my opinion, it's the one true margarita - that frozen stuff is a pale imitation of a great drink.

I can remember my senior year of high school (1989-90) when the "African American" thing was starting to be pushed. I was filling out my college applications and they all had "Black" on them. I didn't care. My guidance counselor, a handicapped Mexican, would always talk about how I had an advantage over the others(white people). I finally told her that if my GPA wasn't good enough, then forget it. I didn't want special treatment. She damn near bad a stroke.
By the way, my paternal grandfather's side has been traced all the way back to a female slave in South Carolina. She was impregnated my the slave owner's son...a few times, and now EVERYONE, white and black, get together for the annual family reunion. And no...no one owes me anything. I just wish people would stop with the race crap.
I served my country proudly in the United States Navy and I have always referred to myself as an American. My skin color is irrelevant, at least to me.

Have you seen the "Runaway Slave" documentary by Rev. C.L. Bryant that made some waves last year? I haven't, but I'd be interested to hear your take on it if you have. It made all the right people mad, but a lot of things do that. I keep wondering if / when the black middle class, which is stronger in economic power than it has ever been, will break with the left. What are your thoughts?
Apologies for the whole - HEY! You're black - tell me about black people! thing, but if you have some thoughts you'd like to share, I'd hear them.

Civilian Marksmanship Program. It was a congressionally created program for selling US Milsurp arms and ammo to civilians which went 501(c)3 in the '90s. They still have Garands, but no more M1 Carbines, M1903s, or M1907s. Their website explains it all: www.odcmp.com
Basically, if you meet their (easy) criteria for eligibility, if you send them the money, they will FedEx a Garand to your door.

The comment was specific to a milsurp M1 Garand - I wanted a shooter as opposed to a wall-hanger of that model and period correct (or very close to it). I'm working on having shootable examples of the rifles used by actors throughout WWII for shits and grins.

Emotion trumps logic for the LIVs, and the proglodytes can produce emotion in spades; Ace's brief essay on the topic earlier today being a great summary of the issue. We face a great challenge in selling our message to the masses, in that many of them don't *want* to think, but can't help but *feel*. I doubt many of us like it, but personalizing and emotionalizing appeals to conservative policies is necessary going forward. The LIVs need sob-stories and success-stories with easily understood (by implication) lessons buried within.

Are potatoes worth it? They're so cheap and non-perishable, I have a hard time thinking it's worthwhile planting them.
Y-not,
Raised beds are good , but potatoes need more depth of soil. You also need a bunch of organic material [composted Obama speeches] in the soil and the soil needs to be neutral to slightly acid. I use tire towers like these:
http://tinyurl.com/yftvvty
You might want to give them a try. And instead of digging to harvest, you just knock the towers over. A lot easier. I'm trying them for muskmelons this year too.

It is probably because I'm a shitty shot, but, I've had no luck with the G43. Would like town one, just to have it, but the ones I've tried were a bitch to hit anything with on relatively rapid fire. Worse with the scope. OK on slow, but the k98 can do that better. Brilliant for shortish range on rapid, though.

The hams from Honeybaked Ham Co. are incredible - cooked perfectly, and ready for soup after the family is done eating it for dinner. Bean and Ham, Split Pea and Ham, Soup X + Ham, etc. Leftover ham and a hambone makes normally boring soups pretty awesome.

Any recommendations for 8mm Mauser ammo? I have some Turk surplus that I've had several hang-fires with. If there's better milsurp ammo out there, I'd like some - I'd hate to go pay top dollar for new manufacture Prvi if there's some milsurp out there that can be reliable and fly true.

You pay up front for sure, because the Honeybaked people aren't giving their stuff away easy, but if you cook with leftover ham / hambone, you'll appreciate it. It's the best "for sale" ham I've ever eaten, and better than many of the homemade hams I've tried. They have a great balance between the salty / smokey / sweet. Please note that they do not produce traditional country ham, which is all salt and smoke.

It is what it is. But, it makes it pretty hard to be of much use for SHTF type stuff or immediate threats. It's a slippery slope. The US has already entered that territory with MG and SMG bans.

Tomorrow I go over to Larry Niven's house and set up a web cam for an interview he has coming up with some UK venue. I fear the DSL at his place may not be up to the task. Downside of his ritzy neighborhood is the lack of good bandwidth. No cable option, either.
Jerry Pournelle and Greg Benford are suppose to be part of the interview, too. It may come down to who has the best bandwidth at their house.

Indeed, as much space is given to how the interpretation of history has changed as new data came to light.
I especially liked how it took a lot of situations that would have been used for racial ax grinding and saw that it was just humans being human. Past historians had to work with the information they had. They got some stuff wildly wrong but not from any dishonesty but because that is where the fact known appeared to point.
