The Amazing Mystifying Stupidity of Meghan McCain
She's really rather special - even by ditzy zaftig politically-connected blonde chick standards - and her vapidity contains multitudes. Here is a bit of her rantings last night about Sanford's victory in SC:
None of you crazy, extremists scare me. I've been doing this since my gestation. Gay marriage will be legal everywhere in America very soon.
- Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) May 08, 2013
But guess what she was advising America to do back in 2009: Forgive Mark Sanford. Ah but see that was like then - this is totally 2013 and all uh, post-gestational and stuff.
Meanwhile she continued on with her tweet-trum...
@carolinemanzo I just can't right now. I am furious. You can lie and cheat and still get sent back to Washington!
- Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) May 8, 2013
And Iowahawk finally had enough of her blatherings.
@meghanmccain if it wasn't for politicians cheating on their wives, you wouldn't exist.

Aaron Worthing points out that Meggie Mac's struggles with English grammar and vocabulary (as well as basic facts and logic) are hardly new. Here is a snippet of Leon Wolf's epic review of her last book:
It is impossible to read Dirty, Sexy Politics and come away with the impression that you have read anything other than the completely unedited ramblings of an idiot. This being a professional website for which I have a great deal of respect, I searched for a more eloquent or gentle way to accurately phrase the previous sentence - but could not find one.
...The most obvious problem with Dirty, Sexy Politics is that grammatically, the book appears to be the work of a high school sophomore. To be more accurate, it appears to be the first draft of an essay written for a high school English class; the one turned in before the teacher makes all the pretty red marks in the margin that helpfully keep students from turning in final papers riddled with comma abuse, sentence fragments, and incorrect punctuation. Each subsequent page of this book contains one grisly crime against the English language after another.
Meghan McCain graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Art History in 2007. She registered as a Republican in 2008.
Air Force Chief of Sexual-Assault Prevention Arrested on Sexual Battery Charges
There's crashing and burning, screwing the pooch, shitting the bed, nuking the fridge, and raping the koala - and then there's what this guy did.
But then the Air Force's own sexual assault prevention brochure warns that looks can be deceiving.
Test: Feminist Complaint or Satire?
Here's just one to ponder:
2. Observation by a feminist musicologist concerning rape and sexual abuse themes in Beethoven's last symphony:
The point of recapitulation in the first movement of the Ninth is one of the most horrifying moments in music, as the carefully prepared cadence is frustrated, damming up energy which finally explodes in the throttling, murderous rage of a rapist incapable of attaining release.
'They should have been ready before anything ever happened,' Cheney told MailOnline exclusively during a party in Georgetown celebrating the launch of a new book by former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.'I mean, it's North Africa - Libya, where they've already had major problems,' Cheney said. 'You know that al-Qaeda is operating there, and you have some of the other al-Qaeda-affiliated groups there like Ansar al-Sharia and others.' .
'When we were there, on our watch, we were always ready on 9/11, on the anniversary,' he recalled. 'We always anticipated they were coming for us, especially in that part of the world.'
'I cannot understand why they weren't ready to go,' the former two-term vice president said of the Obama administration.
'You've got units in the Defense Department that are superb. They practice for this contingency. And they didn't have anybody in the area[.]'
If you've ever read Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, you've heard about what an atrocity the allied bombing of Dresden during WWII was. And the Left was denouncing it even before his book came out.
Well it was all lies.
The bombing of Dresden in February 1945 has passed into popular history as one of the atrocities of the second world war. It is one of those events that seemed to shift the moral ground. The "fire storm" that laid waste Dresden allowed the Nazis to claim the status of victims. Like Hiroshima, it became a symbol of the misuse of military power. And it trailed some chilling questions. Why Dresden? Was it an attempt to eradicate the best of German culture? How many died? Was it 100,000? Was it 200,000? Is it true that the British and the Amer-icans targeted refugees fleeing the city? Did low-flying Mustang fighters really strafe helpless civilians trying to shelter in parks?
Almost certainly not. As Taylor points out, we owe most of our ideas of the raids on Dresden to a handful of books, one of them by the "revisionist" historian David Irving. His account, The Destruction Of Dresden, was first published in 1963, long before he was discredited. Reasonably accurate accounts by German historians were largely ignored and most of the official information about the raids was buried by the communist regime which inherited Dresden in 1945 and was quite happy with western breast-beating over the "atrocity".
The actual number of people killed is now believed to be less than 25,000. And it turns out that the Soviets asked the Allies to bomb Dresden to keep reinforcements from getting to the Eastern front. Dresden was hardly an innocent, 'museum' city:
Dresden was also the site of one of the most important railway marshalling yards in eastern Germany. It was a nodal point on the network with hundreds of thousands of troops, guns and tanks being shunted through Dresden on their way to the eastern front. Politically, the city was solidly Nazi. Hitler's visits were met with wild enthusiasm. There was an SS barracks in the suburbs. Hundreds of Hitler's enemies had died on the blade of Dresden's electric-powered guillotine. One way or another, Dresden was a "legitimate" target for the allied bombers (if bombing of any city can be regarded as legitimate).

The Colorful Life of Antonia Larroux
She passed away last week in Bay St. Louis, MS and we may never see her like again.
Waffle House lost a loyal customer on April 30, 2013. Antonia W. "Toni" Larroux died after a battle with multiple illnesses: lupus, rickets, scurvy, kidney disease and feline leukemia. She had previously conquered polio as a child contributing to her unusually petite ankles and the nickname "polio legs" given to her by her ex-husband, Jean F. Larroux, Jr. It should not be difficult to imagine the multiple reasons for their divorce 35+ years ago. Two children resulted from that marriage: Hayden Hoffman and Jean F. Larroux, III. Due to multiple, anonymous Mother's Day cards which arrived each May, the children suspect there were other siblings but that has never been verified.
...Any sendoff for Toni would not be complete without mentioning her lifelong buddy Myrtle Jane Wingo Haas and her adopted daughters Liz & Laura. She considered Aaron Burrell to be a distant grandson (not distant enough) and had the ability with family pets to usher them toward heaven at an unrivaled pace. Her favorite activity was sipping hot tea on her back porch with friends seated around her porch ensemble from Dollar General (again, not kidding.) This will be sold to the highest bidder at her garage 'estate' sale. Any gifts in her honor should be made to the Hancock County Library Foundation (to the overdue book fund.)

That's the moment when I knew what the rest of the clue was. Not cheatin', swear. Skipped right down here to testify.
It was Susan McClary, talking about Beethoven, one of whose symphonies (the 9th, I think, but I don't remember because it doesn't matter), she maintained, is--not is about; it fuckin' is, by virtue of its form--a rape-choke.
All of you who finished school before about 1990, you don't understand the idiot horror that all of us younger than you have gone through.
You may think you know, but you don't.
You do not.
NOT.

I love books, at least books on subject I like, so I've always though Published Authors were like GODs.
There has always been something called 'vanity press', where you could pay someone to publish your book, and then you would try to sell them yourself. Those people were not gods. They were money grubbing frauds.
Even Published Authors who wrote something not interesting to me were still Published Authors because *someone* liked their stuff enough to pay for it. Then politics invaded the field where you could get published because you were somebody important.
So, now we have self published eBooks, and looking at some of the self published stuff, yes, it's good, good enough. So I'm thinking I could write a book. . .
Ya, sure, you betcha! At least the bar is low enough it most certainly wouldn't be the worst thing ever written (I hope)/

In the runoff for the Dem slot are Jonathon Lee, who by all appearances seems to a hometown guy that has done well in life and done much to contribute to the community. Nothing awe-inspiring, but a respectable guy, that, if he were a Republican (or if he holds a more or less conservative viewpoint) would probably garner a vote from me if I were a resident there.
In the other corner, wearing the dashiki and hailing from Detroit, is city councilman Chokwe Lumumba, whom you can read about here:

This area of the world is going nuts over islands lately. Japan vs Korea, Japan vs China, Japan vs Russia, and now China is adding a fourth island to the debate. It's all about fishing and mineral rights.
From my limited research on each of the debates, it all comes down to poorly worded post-WWII agreements and treaties.

I recently published a children's novel called "My Teachers are Zombies!"
It's the nice story of three friends who discover their teacher is a zombie who is trying to make their brains bigger so as to eat them later (with a dash of pepper).
I would like to encourage people to at least read the sample provided on the Amazon page (available at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CKJ70AW) and if it catches your interest, please feel free to purchase it or gift it to a friend!
I double edited it as well, to avoid the common spelling and grammar mistakes that plague most first time writers (of course, mentioning that guarantees at least two errors will crop up in this message). I also made sure there was a bit of light foreshadowing, use of Chekov's gun, and lamp-shading. Additionally, it's a self-contained story, not a series, which appeals to me in an era of unnecessary trilogies and sequels.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

The 99th, next in line, devolved into pockets of resistance and fell back slowly, as units of the 2nd moved up through their retreat. Right there, in the vicinity of Krinkelt and Rocherath on the Elsenborn Ridge, is where Germany lost the war.
Vonnegut was awfully touchy about that. He felt that he had the mark of cowardice on him, and was willing to construct a whole world-view in which his failure in war was not relevant. There is no dishonor in defeat, but to twist reality to make your own shortcoming seem less by comparison is the definition of despicability. Also, he signed his name with the symbol of a human anus.
That's what I think of him. Thank you.

What. A. Fucking. Genius. This girl is convincing us hook, line, and sinker that she is THAT stupid. There has to be some grand play here. We will ultimately know how brilliant she really is because there is no one that stupid that people hire and say "Hell yes, I'll give you your own show!"

Vonnegut had that absolute moral authority going for him -- because he served in the War. So he could pretty much say anything without fear of being accused of anti-Americanism.
How dare you question Vonnegut's patriotism!

If you do the work yourself, or not,don't forget to change the inline fuel filter also. A new pump will have a strainer, or "sock" provided-- make sure it gets used.
Pro tip--the sealing ring traps a round rubber O ring, I use a generous amount of silicone lube to facilitate reassembly, so the O ring doesn't wrinkle or get out of place from friction.

Vonnegut's book "Slaughterhouse Five" was really just the beginning of his bullshit phase of writing.
He always wanted to write this big deal book about his war experiences, but when the time came, all he had left was bullshit. By that time, we was written out. Everything he could write he had already written.
Player Piano and Mother Night were actually pretty good novels, and Cat's Cradle and The Sirens of Titan, were both pretty funny. But the rest is dreck.
So it goes.....heh.

The Wankel rotary engine (Mazda) had a lot of problems with the oil seals failing.
They did indeed have a lot of power output for their displacement, but fail of the seals, you could fry the engine real easy because you could lose most of your oil in no time.
I guy I used to work for had an old RX-7, and put that Teflon suspended crap in his oil periodically to keep the failing seals tight, because he was too cheap to have them replace.

Nepotism, once removed. Itsa payoff to the Good Senator from Arizona ("do this for me John, and I'll make your daughter a celebrity") or it is a payoff from the liberal establishment for all the good work McCain has done sabotaging the GOP.
Of course it could also work the other way, "I'll do this for you if you make my daughter a celebrity". . . and none of this is ever spoken aloud, never written down, but the language is well understood by all the players. It's like a campaign contribution quid pro quo. It's a variation on the mythical Hollywood Casting Couch, (if you want to be a movie star).

FWIW, the Carolina chapter of the Mustang Forums has a Camaro project we are working on. It belonged to the chapter president's uncle, we're getting it running for his kid. (The uncle's kid that is, not the chapter president's.)

The good thing about smallblock pushrod Chevy V-8's is that EVERYBODY makes parts for them, and you can make a lot of power for a little money, relatively speaking.
Yeah, I'm a Mustang guy, but I'll say that the Chevy small-block V-8 is the finest mass-produced V-8 motor ever invented, period. It's like the VW Bug of V-8 motors, easy to work on, easy to modify, and you can do so much with them.

We flew into San Pedro Sula, Honduras, with a passel of SCUBA gear and watched as everyone else slipped the "customs officers" some cash and get processed first. We thought it was hilarious. Anyway, it finally got to the point where we were the last people there keeping six officials from going home for the night....then they opened the bags and went "WTF is all this shit?!?!?!?" We patiently explained it all (in Spanish) -- that we weren't going to set up a clandestine chemical plant, and that it was perfectly normal for SCUBA enthusiasts to travel with odd specialized equipment. And they hurried us through and left.
It was worth every extra minute to see how a thoroughly corrupt government squirms to deal with the inevitable conflict between actual duties and personal gain.

"@AnnaP, you still on? Made my character on Dragon."
That smells like WoW talk. Have you already lost your soul or is there still time to save you?

Being originally a Southerner, our family move from Chicago to Atlanta didn't bother me or my wife, but I was sweating the kids. So once we got there I headed to the library to check out books on venomous critters to show the kids.
Their reaction to all the hoopla was "Cool!".
And so it goes.

I'm especially glad that doesn't happen often, as it appears to require time-travel.

I'm guilty of a sin. I used to think that my ignoring the machinations of government was a rational response; that by going about my life in an innocuous manner it inured me from their main meddlings. I just wanted to be left alone and thought they mostly wanted to leave me alone too. TFG and Bloomberg, among others, insist on proving me wrong.
I've been awake for about 4 years now. It feels like being ripped from your cocoon ala The Matrix. Sadly, I did not develop any superpowers as a result of my de-cocooning.
Welcome to the real world, GnuBreed.

Since I posted after midnight CST, my "today" was effectively yesterday. I have nowhere near enough pull around here to access Ace's time machine which he's assured us does not exist. If I did, I wouldn't use it to work extra-late. My uses would be entirely nefarious and self-serving.

Subject: Social Security news so good it will make you giddy
[redacted silly name], as the deficit shrinks, the chances of Congress striking a "grand bargain" and cutting Social Security are fading.
At the same time, populist politicians, grassroots activists, and numbers-based wonks are lining up behind a new idea: expanding Social Security benefits.
The vast majority of Americans think Social Security benefits should be increased, and the wealthy should pay more in taxes to do it. Now, people in power are starting to agree.
Red and purple state senators like Mark Begich (D-AK) and Tom Harkin (D-IA) have introduced bills that would expand Social Security benefits by as much as $800 per recipient, per year. They accomplish this by changing the way benefits are calculated and by finally making millionaires and billionaires pay the same rate of Social Security taxes the rest of us pay.
What's more, respected analysts like Ezra Klein and the New America Foundation have directly confronted the long-time consensus in Washington, D.C., by making the case for expanding Social Security benefits.
More than 100,000 people have already signed a petition from Social Security Works endorsing Sen. Harkin's bill.
This is all just the beginning. The tide has turned, and now we are on offense.
Keep fighting,
Joan McCarter, Daily Kos
