Actually modern liberalism includes quite a lot of what used to be unique to socialism. And I don't think modern paleo-cons are opposed to public education.
It's not fair for the cop to lose his job because he wore the mask. Now, if he'd banged Andy while wearing the mask then maybe that goes against office policy. The moral of the story is that you should generally not do anything a porn star suggests. They've made really bad life decisions.
Politics has a math of its own. Whereas a scientifically minded person might see things this way: One person who says 2+2=5 is an idiot; two people who think 2+2=5 are two idiots; and a million people who think 2+2=5 are a whole lot of idiots - political math works differently. Let's work backwards: if a million people think 2+2=5, then they are not a million idiots, but a "constituency." If they are growing in number, they are also a "movement." And, if you were not only the first person to proclaim 2+2=5, but you were the first to persuade others, then you, my friend, are not an idiot, but a visionary.

What It's Like Being Kim Jong-Il's Sushi Chef
The man in the tracksuit invited Fujimoto back to make more sushi. Fujimoto didn't speak Korean, so he had a government-appointed interpreter with him at all times. At the end of the evening, a valet handed the interpreter an envelope."From Jang-gun-nim," the valet said.
Perhaps the reason Fujimoto hadn't known he'd been serving Kim Jong-il was because "no one ever called him by his real name," Fujimoto said. "Never."

The CFTC's 'Eddie Murphy' Rule
We have recommended banning using misappropriated government information to trade in the commodity markets. In the movie "Trading Places," starring Eddie Murphy, the Duke brothers intended to profit from trades in frozen concentrated orange juice futures contracts using an illicitly obtained and not yet public Department of Agriculture orange crop report. Characters played by Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd intercept the misappropriated report and trade on it to profit and ruin the Duke brothers. In real life, using such misappropriated government information actually is not illegal under our statute. To protect our markets, we have recommended what we call the "Eddie Murphy" rule to ban insider trading using nonpublic information misappropriated from a government source.

Jarhead a couple hundred smelly malcontents, weirdos and occupoopers joined forces with about 2 to 3 dozen New Black Panther Party people to trudge through River Oaks in 90 degree heat as through a cattle shute, 2 abreast. All were sweaty, smelly and winded. It was more a forced march than a protest. Then an asshole, con artist and all around race baiter on the back of a truck screamed through a bull horn that they had showed the world, and blah blah blah.
They showed the world they had to walk in the heat two by two only on the sidewalk under the watchful gaze of a couple hundred police. They were awarded no points

I don't really mind the states having some level of "safety net", it's just that it's fundamentally unstable due to human nature.

A recall bleg: So my wife and I were discussing long ago scary movies and we talked about 2 (one with a little voodoo doll hacking at this lady with a knife, which is part of 'Trilogy of Terror'). The second one I can't find but a little girl breaks a doll and then a big momma doll starts chasing her in revenge. Its not Night Gallery or Twilight Zone but it was a TV movie.
Anybody remember this one or happen to know its name?

Put roads in minarchism and that's me. The govt shouldn't be in education and probably doesn't need to be in fire protection. Especially not in the forest fires which are becoming more problematic because of bad stewardship!
Forest fires are more the result of environmental idiots. Most of the Forest Service and Fire Department folks I've met are big supporters of a more active role in maintaining forests around human habitation.

Give me my 1911--either my hands were designed for it or vice versa.

But I've never picked up a pistol that fit so well--as manufactured--as that gun. It just WORKS.

so the NYC mayor candidates have all decided to spend the night in public housing
so there is a pic of Weiner and Sharpton on a street bench regarding said story
And I guess with Jerry Rivers today, and Weiner a couple of years ago, all I could think is, what if Sharpton did a nekkid selfie? Can you imagine?

Some say too much caffeine will stimulate your adrenal glands too much (we do not have an unlimited supply of adrenaline) . You might feel exhausted after drinking coffee because you're simply not getting the caffeine rush you're used to.
Take several days off from drinking coffee and you'll feel the rush again.

What I don't get about the whole wildfire thing is-- every time this happens, they spend gobs of money fighting the fire, public and private property is destroyed, and as often as not, people die. This is a public safety issue.
They don't care because they're opposed to human expansion. A lot of these green fascists would love to have all of us living crammed into high-rise apartments and taking public transportation.

OTOH, do I want the unaccountable bastards in Washington DC -- or, for that matter, in Sacramento -- to have 1/10 of the government functions they do, in fact control? That would be NO. As much as possible, all government should be local government, paid for and managed at the lowest possible level -- and optional. 90% of my interaction with government should have the top dude of the organization within 50 miles of where I am, and his organization should be funded 90% by people within 50 miles of him.

peon expansion. Who do you think gets the sweet real estate away from all of us?>>
Response is slow since I am amazed at the detail a poor county in northern Minnesota has on their website.
But my point was going to be that I was looking at a Plat map for state land to hunt. And the amount of county and state tax forfeitures has skyrocketed. Now in the link they don't label the same as the printed map. But if you play with the identify feature you can see how much the state now owns (mostly the north part) Which was way less when I was looking 10 years ago.

A product for men "who leak just a little".

About 30 of them were actually my wife's when she was little.
And their heads are still attached? I say this as a man with two sisters within a certain age range and remember that quite a few lost their heads and became "fat head barbie" because when they stuck them back on the neck it widened the head.

In all seriousness, that's a fucking awesome story sir. That money you spent today will come back 1000x over to you, your family, and the community.
Very nice.

That would be a government grant, to study, what would be needed, provided the government funded the program, to make every equal, except for the academic who is doing the study. because the academic is the adviser to the most important person in the world who gives the order to equalize the masses.
With proper government funding I could make that a bit more clear. If anyone cares.

She confided in me years later that he smacked her around. They are still married I think, don't see her around much.

There have been several Spider-girl characters. The one who had own book for a fairly long time was set in an alternate universe where things diverged around 1990 or so. May 'Day' Parker was the daughter of Peter and Mary Jane, and discovers she has inherited her father's powers at about the same age he first got them.

My eldest picked Spidergirl (There is such a thing?)
------------
Yup.
There's an interesting bit of backstory on that character...
Waaaaay back in the 90s, in the middle of a very convoluted (and despised to this day for reasons unrelated to what I'm discussing here) storyline, Mary Jane got pregnant. And she had a baby girl. Except that Normon Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, paid off the hospital staff to steal the baby and tell MJ that the baby was stillborn. There was a brief panel a few issues later of some woman in Europe who now had the baby wondering when Osborn was going to deliver the next payment... and then the child was quietly swept under the rug and Marvel pretended that it didn't exist.
Mostly.
In an alternate universe (referred to as M2), the woman returned May "Mayday" Parker to her parents. She developed her Dad's powers while she was a teenager, and started fighting crime just like he had once done. She had a reasonably successful comic book series, but Marvel's attempts to start series with other characters in the M2 setting inevitably failed. Marvel would also periodically announce that they were going to cancel her series, but the sales numbers for her series constantly caused Marvel to change their minds.
Until, eventually, Marvel didn't change their minds and went ahead and cancelled it. There's some suspicion that Joe "I never saw a comic book marriage that I didn't want to destroy" Quesada cancelled the series because it showed Peter and MJ in a happy marriage after Quesada had wrecked the marriage in the "normal" universe a couple of years earlier (Peter and MJ made a deal with the Devil that "undid" their marriage; you think I'm joking, don't you).

Where the hell do restaurants get those giant spuds? All the stupid supermarkets have are ones about the size of my fist. I even shop at Smart + Final, a commercial grocery supply place....same thing. But some restaurants regularly serve ones over twice that size.

The supermarkets get them but you have to be there at the right time. I don't really look for them anymore because we're trying to accustom ourselves to lesser portions but back when my mother was dealing with three teenage boys she could find the big ones regularly.
I suspect they tend to end up mashed or applied in other ways than baked and served to a single person. Or at least cut in half and served to two people with big appetites.

TMs dads twitter name is "fruit". Fruit was going to buy TM a .22 caliber gun. Its in TM's twitter account.
The night he was shot, TM was not talking to Jeantel. He was talking to Francesca Placide, his girlfriend. After the family got involved with Crump, Jeantel appears. He gave Jeantel Placides phone. He had Placide write the cursive letter Jeantel couldn't read
Jeantel didn't even know TM. You can see that from his friends twitter feeds. They didn't know her at all and were pissed she was saying she was his girlfriend at first. TMs girlfriend's mother taught at TMs high school. Special ed. She taught Jeantel. They put her up to it.

The dealio for the site is that they have weekly contests for user-submitted t-shirt designs. If you've ever bought one of their shirts, you can vote for designs from that week (on a given theme) that you might like to buy. At the end of the week, they take the top vote-getters (and random infill) and decide which shirts they'll print....printing a new design every day. After a design has had its day in the sun at $12 [used to be $10], it goes into back-stock and the price goes up in two tiers -- the $15 [used to be $12] tier is the top 20 bestselling shirts + the shirts from last week....the $18 [used to be unavailable] is a print-to-order reprint of any shirt they've ever done. Indications are that this model has made a metric buttload of money for them -- and, I might add, I've ended up with more Cthulhu-themed shirts than would otherwise have existed.
Now, before they got that print-to-order technology down, they used to have overruns in weird sizes and such, and would blow them all out as "random shirt" at 3 for $20 -- which made a lot of sense, as it was clearing their warehouse of old stock and you'd never expect to see it again.....but their latest deal is to do virtualized random shirts at 2 for $12 [http://www.woot.com/offers/random-printed-2-pack-3].
And I'm just not seeing the business justification for this beyond, "jazz the topline and who cares about margins?" All the fun of "oh, it might be that cool shirt I just missed from three weeks ago" disappears into "it's whatever ink gets squirted on the fabric." It just seems....misdirected.

Of course, we have a plethora of local Lucky's (old Albertson's that were bought by Save-Mart and rebranded) and Safeways (really Safeway, more's the pity)....and then a big jump to Whole Foods and Andronico's, which tend to be pricy and more "beef from cows fed organic produce and massaged daily by vegan consecrated virgins within 500 feet of their kosher/halal slaughter". Cosentino's used to be good, but the family had to let it go.

There used to be two chains around here which self-destructed rather oddly. The first, Nob Hill Foods, had a situation where the head dude decided he'd rather be Walt Disney.....the official story is http://tinyurl.com/lo8thol -- but read between the lines. The second was, possibly, more peculiar. Fry's markets had experience with being hard-nosed with suppliers, rejecting bulk of iffy products, moving produce aggressively so it didn't rot on the shelf.....and while Silicon Valley was growing up around them, they started selling ICs like heads of lettuce. And now they're http://tinyurl.com/kker3sw -- although a "rump" of the original Fry's still exists in Arizona -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fry%27s_Supermarkets .

IIRC, when I was there it was a Safeway. And there was a Sears Catalog Store (remember those?) in back of it. You could order anything carried in the Sears Catalog and pick it up there in a couple of weeks.
Looking at the website for Vallarta -- 'cause I was thinking, "a what-the-what?" -- I'm thinking that the demographics of that area must have changed markedly. When I graduated from Hart High in 1979, there was no way that a store would self-describe as "Meat, Cremeria, Produce, Taqueria, Liquor, Beer, Tortilleria, Bakery,
Pasteleria, Catering, Food to go, Juice Bar, Van Service, Customer
Service, Check Cashing" in that part of town.

Vallarta came out of nowhere to be a serious second tier player in LA County and beyond. Part of me feels a 'there goes the neighborhood response' but they're pretty well run. They have a real butcher shop on the premises of the sort you rarely see in the big brand supermarkets any more. Very good produce. The deli section and lunch counter is terrific unless you severely dislike that kind of fare.
And they understand their customer base pretty well. They have a shuttle van that run a shopper home with their purchases, because so much of their clientele is on foot and that makes taking a big load of groceries home a bit of a problem. In some ways it's a bit old fashioned, resembling urban supermarkets of a bygone era.
They're as far north as Fresno and Santa Maria now, so chances are you'll be seeing them appear in your region before the decade is done.

Supermarkets are a weird, weird business. First, they're highly unionized (except, of course, Walmart and Whole Foods), they have antitrust all over them all the time, so Albertsons stores had to become Lucky's up here when they are run by Save-Mart and Albertsons out east had to be kept as Albertsons but run by Kroger....and the Vons and Ralphs and QFCs aren't really their respective brands, but are parts of larger groups. They run at astonishingly low margins but have much opportunity for meddling -- random factoid: I heard one time that the salaries of the manager and assistant manager for a store are typically covered by the company's returns from recycling cardboard.
Furthermore, the supermarket worker from 25 years ago wouldn't recognize the work. For stuff like potato chips, store employees never even touch them before checkout -- they rent out shelf space and the potato chip company handles all the stocking and supply issues.
Just from the low level of transparency, high level of spoilage, and temporary nature of employees, one has to suspect that the field is rife with patronage, graft, fraud, corruption, and systematic crime....but yet it seems to mostly function properly. Sort of like how the trash actually gets picked up in New Jersey at a not-too-exorbitant cost.

Could be worse. There isn't a Burger King in Castaic anymore, even though this town is a gold mine for fast food joints due to location for traffic on the I-5 headed north or coming from there. The mountains you have to pass through make people feel a need to prepare themselves or take a break after getting past. But that place was so badly run it went under.

Corruption has always been with us in certain ways.....but now its pus is spreading everywhere. The wave is cresting to where many organizations are objectively worse than nothing at all.
The DoJ has decided to fan the flames of racism rather than ensure there is a cost; the city of Detroit cannot light streetlights or respond to police calls, but sucks up tax revenues like nobody's business; every dollar borrowed as a student loan raises tuition likewise.... If you paid for your own dental care, and went to a bookie to lay a side bet to pay for any dental care >$1000, the overwhelming majority of people would end up spending less than the premiums for dental insurance.
Critics of Keynes used to talk about having guy dig a hole and another guy fill it in.....but we're way beyond that -- we now have a guy to fill the hole, a guy to fill it in, and five guys to inspect the hole before it's dug, while there is digging, while it's a hole, during the fill, and after the filling.

Load potato with butter and sour cream. Not margarine. Margarine bad, butter good. A little salt, cause thereÂ’s a lot still on the skin. A little freshly ground black pepper.
Eat potato. Add more butter to empty skin. Wait one minute for it to melt. Eat salty, crispy skin.

And that has led me to focus on touchstones like "accounting is about accountability" and "you manage what you measure" and "it's not enough to manipulate information.....it has to be timely inserted into a decision loop."
My last gig was implementing Sarbanes-Oxley in a way that didn't cost a gazillion dollars and might actually provide benefits.....I believe that we did that very well, and I'm proud of our process and results.....but that's over. Sarbanes-Oxley was a creation of congress, and they no longer care.
When the financial crisis hit, I thought there'd be a nice boom in FDIC auditing, or cleanup on mortgage lending. *crickets* For years, crickets.
At this point, it looks like the "next big thing" in accounting is either Obamacare "navigators" or revenue accountants for the likes of facebook and groupon.....both of which, in my view, are ultimately doomed to failure. They're scams, and the signals are that the next big accounting wave is prettying-up or papering-over scams.....
I'm hoping that I can find a place where accountants actually create value, enhance accountability, and improve efficiency.....by looking in red states.

The BK I meant is the one in Castaic. The one at the top of Lyons near the I-5 is still in business. If I had a hankering for Bk when the Castaic one wa still open I'd go the ten miles to the other one instead.

But seriously....I've been the Controller of a small manufacturing company. Every day, "are you sure that you want 20% of the finished cost to be packaging? How could you save money in packaging that you could put back into a quality product?" I loved doing that, and I'm pretty good at it.
But implementing Dodd-Frank and Obamacare are going to be where "instant experts" will be demanding premium billing rates. Problem is, there is no way to implement this crap that will not smell less crappy, much less satisfy the objectives of the law in a cost-effective manner.

I see stuff on the Wendys coupon flyers that looks enticing but whenever I try it it just not very good. I still keep the flyers in the car during those periods when I have a job that has me driving around a lot. So I guess I haven't given up on them.
I generally avoid the cheap Spicy Chicken sandwiches. It's a way to sell sub-par chicken by making it so you cannot taste the difference. The best cheap chicken sandwich IMHO is at McDonalds but not all of them. Some of them, especially in crappier neighborhoods, have a spicy version just like the other chains.
Going with friends to someplace new is enjoyable, because even if it's bad the experience is shared. But much of the time I want something reliable and predictable. Especially if I'm in a situation where I'm eating on the go.

There is a Jimmy Deans a few miles down on The Old Road and another on Lyons IIRC but I've never eaten at one.
I eat out under two circumstances. When work has me away from home and it is a necessity. Or in a social situation. I simply have no friend in my immediate neighborhood and its been years since I got together for food socially less than thirty miles from home. It was pretty much the same way when I lived in Thousand Oaks because none of my friends lived out there. So there were places in town I was curious about but never had occasion to try. It was just too costly to do restaurants all by myself when I could feed myself at home far cheaper.
One funny thing is that Tommy's is all over the place now, including one in the same group of fast food joints and gas stations where the Jimmy Dean is located, but to this day the only Tommys I ever buy from are the original three. The places we'd hop in the car and go to at 2 AM on a summer night if we were bored and hungry. Today, when I have a job that runs lates, like the bank work I've done a lot in the last five years, and I'm driving home at OMG in the morning, stopping in at Tommy and getting a triple chili cheeseburger and fries is a major comfort food indulgence. But only if the mood is right. Otherwise I try to be more sensible and hope I might get close to 200 pounds again in my lifetime without being seriously ill, which is what it took the last time I got down that low.

The longer the tree of liberty goes unfed the bigger the feast of its favorite food must be.
Some things, like corruption, are constants but that doesn't mean the flow is steady. It scarcely ever runs dry but occasionally floods.
BTW, did anyone catch the Stossel 'Are We Rome?' episode this week?

The perfect version I recall reading of recently was the three man crew where each had a job in sequence. One day it was reported there were two men going down the road in the island greensward, with one man digging a series of holes and another filling them in. When asked, they said the third guy whose job it was to put the seedling in the hole had died but the union insisted they be allowed to continue performing their jobs.

well, I'm planning a return to my roots in the 'motor transport industry'. But the local H-D dealer is hiring- customer reps, sales... it's tough out there for a 55 yr-old HS graduate. I should have planned for this moment better.

I came out here in 2000 to work for Ginormous Pipeline LLC. Last year they merged with Humongous Interstate Corp and about 270 of us at the suburban Denver location were squeezed out. It's a pretty common tale.

George Carlin nailed it in one of his early standup routines. "Remember the first time you had ham and eggs in the South? 'Hey. What's that white stuff down there?'
[in a disgustingly cheery Southern accent:] " 'Hell, them's grits!'
" 'They're movin, man. . . .' "
