4 Things Every Modern Man Should Be Able to Do
4. Build a fire
3. Run a mile
2. Change a car tire
1. Divide up a bill
And speaking of changing tires you should go listen to the first 20 minutes of Adam Carolla's recent podcast where a July 4th flat tire with a non-driving teenage nephew turns into a Thurberesque nightmare.
Oh Rand What Were You Thinking?
I've wanted to unreservedly like Rand but have ended up staying a bit wary of him - mainly because I'm afraid he had a bit too much of his father's kookiness in him as well as his father's tendency to surround himself with questionable people with rather disreputable views.
And this doesn't help:
A close aide to Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) who co-wrote the senator's 2011 book spent years working as a pro-secessionist radio pundit and neo-Confederate activist, raising questions about whether Paul will be able to transcend the same fringe-figure associations that dogged his father's political career.Paul hired Jack Hunter, 39, to help write his book The Tea Party Goes to Washington during his 2010 Senate run. Hunter joined Paul's office as his social media director in August 2012.
From 1999 to 2012, Hunter was a South Carolina radio shock jock known as the "Southern Avenger." He has weighed in on issues such as racial pride and Hispanic immigration, and stated his support for the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
During public appearances, Hunter often wore a mask on which was printed a Confederate flag.
And Hunter sure seems to share the same political preoccupation with neoconservatives as Paul Sr:
You rarely hear about it since soldiers generally aren't quartered in peoples' homes without consent these days.
Except maybe in Henderson, NV:
LAS VEGAS (CN) - Henderson police arrested a family for refusing to let officers use their homes as lookouts for a domestic violence investigation of their neighbors, the family claims in court.
Anthony Mitchell and his parents Michael and Linda Mitchell sued the City of Henderson, its Police Chief Jutta Chambers, Officers Garret Poiner, Ronald Feola, Ramona Walls, Angela Walker, and Christopher Worley, and City of North Las Vegas and its Police Chief Joseph Chronister, in Federal Court.
Mitchell claims that defendant officers, including Cawthorn and Worley and Sgt. Michael Waller then "conspired among themselves to force Anthony Mitchell out of his residence and to occupy his home for their own use."
A third amendment suit is a bit of a stretch since you'd have to show that local police count as soldiers and that the 3A applies to state and local governments. However when you read the sordid egregious details of the case I think a fourth amendment case is more applicable.
The complaint continues: "Defendant Officer David Cawthorn outlined the defendants' plan in his official report: 'It was determined to move to 367 Evening Side and attempt to contact Mitchell. If Mitchell answered the door he would be asked to leave. If he refused to leave he would be arrested for Obstructing a Police Officer. If Mitchell refused to answer the door, force entry would be made and Mitchell would be arrested.'"At a few minutes before noon, at least five defendant officers "arrayed themselves in front of plaintiff Anthony Mitchell's house and prepared to execute their plan," the complaint states.
It continues: "The officers banged forcefully on the door and loudly commanded Anthony Mitchell to open the door to his residence.
"Surprised and perturbed, plaintiff Anthony Mitchell immediately called his mother (plaintiff Linda Mitchell) on the phone, exclaiming to her that the police were beating on his front door.
"Seconds later, officers, including Officer Rockwell, smashed open plaintiff Anthony Mitchell's front door with a metal ram as plaintiff stood in his living room.
"As plaintiff Anthony Mitchell stood in shock, the officers aimed their weapons at Anthony Mitchell and shouted obscenities at him and ordered him to lie down on the floor.
"Fearing for his life, plaintiff Anthony Mitchell dropped his phone and prostrated himself onto the floor of his living room, covering his face and hands.
"Addressing plaintiff as 'asshole', officers, including Officer Snyder, shouted conflicting orders at Anthony Mitchell, commanding him to both shut off his phone, which was on the floor in front of his head, and simultaneously commanding him to 'crawl' toward the officers.
"Confused and terrified, plaintiff Anthony Mitchell remained curled on the floor of his living room, with his hands over his face, and made no movement.
"Although plaintiff Anthony Mitchell was lying motionless on the ground and posed no threat, officers, including Officer David Cawthorn, then fired multiple 'pepperball' rounds at plaintiff as he lay defenseless on the floor of his living room. Anthony Mitchell was struck at least three times by shots fired from close range, injuring him and causing him severe pain." (Parentheses in complaint.)
Remember this was all because police wanted to spy on the Mitchells' neighbors over a domestic violence complaint.
Fact checkin' is hard. Can you spot the error is this diagram?
And speaking of Mayberry: Andy Taylor and the Coercive Power of the State
Andy Taylor? Readers with long memories may remember that he is the character played by Andy Griffith in the long-running eponymous television show from the Sixties (the good bit of the Sixties). As sheriff of the town of Mayberry, Andy is responsible for maintaining order - no, that's not quite right: the townspeople are responsible for maintaining order. Andy is simply a sort of boundary marker. He represents what Walter Bagehot might have called the impressive side of the social contract. He has a sidearm. He rarely wears it. It's usually at home, unloaded, hidden on top of a china cabinet. He barely wears a uniform. That's to say, his uniform is homey, not scary.
Why? Because he wished people to trust and respect him and not fear him; he was an authority, not an authoritarian figure. His sidekick, the lovable but bumbling Barney Fife, likes the paraphernalia of police garb. Andy lets him wear a revolver, but it has to be unloaded. He's allowed to carry one round of ammunition in his shirt pocket.
Compare this to what happens when you go fishing in Effingham, Illinois today:
I took 3 of my grandchildren jug fishing (tie string to a milk jug, attach a hook and bait and set them in the water, come back hours later and bring in the fish). This was a first for my kids. We left about 9:00 p.m., and after setting out two of the jugs we got stopped by two officers from Illinois Department of Natural Resources (appropriately shortened to DNR). They were going to do a safety check. They had guns, dressed as Gestapo, and had bulletproof vests.
As you'll see there is no Andy Taylor or even Barney Fife in the IL DNR.
Guantánamo prison will synchronize force-feedings to Ramadan fast
"The U.S. prison at Guantánamo has sufficient military medical staff to synchronize forced-feedings to the Ramadan fast and will only feed hunger strikers after sunset and before dawn,"
I guess I'm supposed to feel bad about this but eh whatever. I've never been impressed by hunger strikers - to me it's always been a form of blackmail and a particularly stupid form of suicide but hey if you wanna starve yourself go right on ahead. Less money for us to spend keeping your dumb ass living and bitching. And if we decide to keep to keep you alive, well then you're just gonna have to keep on living motherfucker. Oh and happy Ramadan.

And is the man named in the complaint their gardener?

That Time Jennifer Aniston Ate
And it was just horrible - however do the proles survive on that stuff?
Have you ever been in a situation where you had no other choice but to grab some fast food?
I'll never forget when Justin and I were on a road trip and we were so hungry. The only thing around was McDonald's. I think I ordered a Big Mac. Wow, my body did not react well to that! It was like putting gasoline in a purified system. I am always trying to eat organic and natural foods, so that just made my stomach turn and made me feel terrible. And I think what you put in your body, as well as stress, is reflected in the quality of your skin.

The Economic Development Administration (EDA) is an agency in the Department of Commerce that promotes economic development in regions of the US suffering slow growth, low employment, and other economic problems. In December 2011, the Department of Homeland Security notified both the EDA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that there was a possible malware infection within the two agencies' systems.
The NOAA isolated and cleaned up the problem within a few weeks.
The EDA, however, responded by cutting its systems off from the rest of the world—disabling its enterprise e-mail system and leaving its regional offices no way of accessing centrally held databases.
It then recruited an outside security contractor to look for malware and provide assurances that not only were EDA's systems clean, but also that they were impregnable against malware. The contractor, after some initial false positives, declared the systems largely clean but was unable to provide this guarantee. Malware was found on six systems, but it was easily repaired by reimaging the affected machines.
EDA's CIO, fearing that the agency was under attack from a nation-state, insisted instead on a policy of physical destruction. The EDA destroyed not only (uninfected) desktop computers but also printers, cameras, keyboards, and even mice. The destruction only stopped—sparing $3 million of equipment—because the agency had run out of money to pay for destroying the hardware.
The total cost to the taxpayer of this incident was $2.7 million: $823,000 went to the security contractor for its investigation and advice, $1,061,000 for the acquisition of temporary infrastructure (requisitioned from the Census Bureau), $4,300 to destroy $170,500 in IT equipment, and $688,000 paid to contractors to assist in development of a long-term response. Full recovery took close to a year.

run a mile ? Why?
change a car tire : too easy, try getting a mule into harness, try catching a mule.
divide a bill? too easy, try balancing accounts, while skimming and hiding the take

My tip for Modern Real Manly Men about changing tires: make sure the goddamned tire/brake/suspension shop has put the lug nuts back on to the actual specified torque. As my monicker might suggest is important.
I once helped a friend attempt to change a flat on his truck. The moronic shop monkey who had previously worked on it had reinstalled the wheel with a monster air impact wrench dialed all the way up to whatever the max setting was.
We ended up with a three foot breaker bar on the lug nut, and a ten foot pipe slipped over the breaker bar, and my 250lb friend bouncing up and down on the far end of the pipe, and that nut wasn't moving until Jesus returned.

that TM wrote those texts is corroborated by "Diamond" Jeantel in her testimony.

I pick up the bill most of the time and those times when I do not, I simply ask to split the bill in half. AND, the only time I ask to split in half, is when my portion equals less than half.
I do not like to be indebted to another.

Changed a flat about 3 weeks ago on my wife's car. Freaked out when I got to the one nut that was a totally different shape. Finally found the wrench head in a little pocket in the tool kit.

Originally I thought that the sign next to the door she's coming out of said "Girls"; i.e. the Girls dorm. But now I think it says "G and G"; i.e. Goofus and Gallant. So yeah, probably.
Which also suggests that Gallant got up so early that he never went to sleep, and spent all night studying at the college library.

4 rudimentary "manly" skills any 13 year-old boy should be able to do followed up by DeciptiCon bullshit about Rand Paul and whether another Amendment to the Bill of Rights - which were explicitly written to ensure State's sovereignty - should also be given over to the Feds.
The Second Amendment has now been incorporated. It is now used as a club to bludgeon any state that dares to write its own gun laws. The First Amendment has been incorporated. You donÂ’t have freedom of religion to pray in your own public ceremonies. The Fourth and Fifth Amendments donÂ’t even exist any longer, see the NSA and partially-warrantless surveillance. All these amendments have been incorporated.
Hell - Neocons - you love your big Gov overlords so much why not just Incorporate Every Constitutional Amendment And Be Done With It?
Wake up.

No, just in central Etobicoke. We got three inches in the basement courtesy of our neighbour's patio and walkway brickwork but the floor drain handled it okay and the sewers didn't back up. Power cut out at around 5:30 p.m. until this morning but we had plenty of candles; battery radio; and flashlights. So it wasn't too bad.

The flipside of that is that we regularly went out with a friend who used his credit card while we used cash, and he pocketed the cash and put the whole bill on the card. It doesn't sound so bad but we were always convinced that he was ultimately contributing a bit less than than the rest of us when you added it all up.

He may very well have been if he was paying the card off every month (so no interest) and was getting cash back on the charge.

Decades ago at a multi-couples dinner held at an upscale restaurant, the organizer and his wife are ordering appetizers and bottles of wine. Top menu items for their entrees. Being of modest means at that time and a noted tightwad, I suggest to wife that we eat downscale. We splurge on a shared dessert. Organizer and his wife each have desserts and a final bottle of dessert wine. For them.
Bill comes and the organizer suggests splitting the bill evenly. *ragetwitch* begins. I throw in enough to cover our modest meal, tax and tip. When the pot comes up light, I pull a Ralphie Parker - "Flick? Flick who?"
On the way home I instruct the wife to never ever again accept a dinner invitation from those people. Don't expect me to subsidize your extravagant meal when I hardly even know you.

Don't relax too much. Savannah is way past due for a major hurricane. The locals laugh, but the last major hit was in the last 19th century. Tybee Island had a train that ran from downtown Savannah to folks' summer homes. A hurricane hit that evening, wiping out the rail system, and killing hundreds of people on Tybee.
We are constantly reminded that a Cat 2 storm at high tide would wipe out our homes due to flooding, not to mention tall pines through our roofs. So there's that.

I have changed tires beyond counting in my career. Tightening lug nuts was first done with a 4-way wrench.
A torque wrench was used to finish the job.
In later years, we used an air wrench, with a special tool called a torque limiting socket, that stopped the gun at the specified tightness. If you do several jobs requiring wheel removal, they rock.
Techs who refuse to use these tools need to be removed from the workplace.

A real man knows how to handle a fight and when to walk away from one.
A real man knows how to tie a bow tie or a windsor knot, owns at least one shirt with french cuffs, has a shoe polish kit and keys his clothing choices to the occasion and his escort's level of dressiness. He knows the basics of social dancing and can lead his partner.
A real man knows how to find the fat man in the bathtub and knows the evening isn't over until everyone is happy.
A real man will not let a woman pay for him unless she asks him out and even then, will insist on at least leaving the gratuity.
A real man conducts himself with integrity, honesty and humor, understands reciprocity, and handles rejection with grace and dignity.
Sadly, my Real Man died four years ago and every time I try dating I am reminded of what I lost!!

I want one that can change a tire..., as the wheels are about to come off.
I've changed so many ties in my life, I don't care to think about it. As for the motorcycle thing, I date from a time when all motorcycle wheels had spokes, and tube type tires. To fix a flat, it was necessary to remove the wheel, remove the tire, patch the tube (If you were lucky. I always carried a spare tube), remount tire, reinstall wheel. It was a hassle, and inevitably happened at the worst time/place.

The CSA's constitution was, despite what you may expect, a document that reduced states' rights. It didn't allow states to determine voting laws, nor allow states to outlaw slavery on their own accord. Additionally, it allowed the Confederate national government to impose tariffs on goods FROM a state going to another state or country.

Just got back from my local game store with a few bits of Pacific Rim loot. Let's see what I ended up with...
The "Starter box" comes with Gypsy Danger (giant robot) and a weird freaky looking kaiju called "Slattern" (it has multiple tails made out of soft plastic). The individual packs that I got contain Crimson Typhoon (giant robot - his head makes him look kind of like a big red Geth Destroyer from Mass Effect), Cherno Alpha (giant robot - his head looks like one of the helmets from Marvel's evil AIM organization), Scunner (kaiju with four arms), and another Slattern. Too bad. I'd expected (apparently incorrectly) that the figures in the starter box wouldn't be in the random assortment packs. Guess I was wrong.
The starter does have other stuff, though that's only useful if you want to play the game and blow up the human war machines (like tanks and fighter jets) like popcorn. If you just want to drool over the figures or stick them up as trophies on your bookshelf, then those items aren't quite so useful.
There are apparently ten figures in total - five robots and five kaiju.

The short answer is yes, but the Texas Electors couldn't vote for them. EEEk! Thassa lot of electoral votes to piss away.

The figures are $2.99 each, and sold individually. Unfortunately, unless you buy the starter, they're also randomly packed and you don't know what's in an individual wrapper until you open it up.

The downside (and the reason I quit) is that you are always working for attorneys, and quite naturally they are are looking to support their client. The result is that the engineers are leaned on to find some scenario that exempts the client. Well..., in many cases the client was an indefensible idiot. The problem is that the forensic guys begin to take on the lawyer's perspectives. They begin to rationalize and bullshit. That is why one can *always* hire an 'expert' that will provide countervailing testimony. I couldn't deal with it.

Twenty-five years ago, I went to help a buddy move around some garage-sale leftovers. Among them was a v.early stereo that appealed to me. So, after we'd worked a couple of hours, he gave it to me, and we gingerly set it in the back of my pickup.
On the way home, a crackhead ran a stop sign, T-boned my truck and ran me into a nice lady who, as it turned out, never worked again. Screwed up the stereo, and my truck was never the same. Crackhead never stopped.
Behind me in traffic was a girl who had just taken her driver's test. At the urging of her husband, she pulled out of traffic and pursued the offender about a mile, up a dodgy alleyway, and pinned him in his garage. And then the two of them came to testify in court. Offender had a public defender who advised him not to show, and skip town. He did, and no warrant was issued.
Anyway, that has to be some kind of a record.

He didn't have the fire in his belly and we NEED somebody with the fire in the belly. I loved Fred. He just killed me when he decided, uh, maybe not. We need someone with fierce commitment. He didn't have it. Sad, but true.

A guy in my church is has a mutual friend with Fred, and the mutual friend once told the guy in my church that Fred was a great guy but as lazy as they come - "had never done a complete day's work in his life" is as close to the exact quote as I can remember so many years later.

They should be telling other Guantanamo inmates "he told us everything, so we shipped him home", dressing him nice, feeding him well, and flying him off without handcuffs or leg irons.....then getting out into the mid-Atlantic, handcuffing his sorry ass to a cinderblock, and chuckin' 'im off the plane. Come back a couple of days later and tell the remaining inmates, "here's some baklava his girlfriends sent you, because they're so happy to have him back."
Lather, rinse, repeat. Once the place is emptied out, show film of all the happy waving when they got on the plane. That's how the Russians work, and it's effective as all hell.

Hanging out with neo-confederate secessionists is roughly equivalent to Obama's relationship with the likes of Ayers and Dorn, which is a shame since I was holding out some hope that Rand Paul would be of a different stripe than his old man, but the evidence keeps piling up that he's no different and perhaps even worse than Ron Paul because he's a far more effective communicator than his father and doesn't give off that wild-eyed, tinfoil-hat vibe. But yeah, that 'neocon' business. Ugly little euphemism they've got going there.
The ironic part of all this is that the libertarian core message, which is 'leave the people the hell alone' has enormous appeal. If libertarians would just throw off and disavow the antisemitism, the outlandish conspiracy theories and all the rest of that paranoid and racist Spotlight, Prison Planet, Stormfront bullshit, they might have a chance at contributing something of value at a national level, but they haven't and they won't. Paranoia seems woven into the libertarian DNA.

Wasn't addressing you, whoever you are, and don't care whether or not you're a Libertarian or a Republican. But yes, of course there are other types of nutjobs in other political parties, which is why I compared Rand Paul's relationship to a neo-confederate secessionist to Obama's relationship with former Weathermen terrorists Ayers and Dorn. There's an equivalency there.
However, big 'L' Libertarians--particularly Ron Paul libertarians--have batshit craziness imbedded into their overall worldview and political ideology, which is why the Libertarian Party continues to enjoy its 1-2% niche in state and national elections. For example, get a Ron Paul true believer talking about Iran. According to Ron Paul and his followers, Iran is just an innocent, persecuted victim of evil neoconservatives *cough Jooos cough*. According to Ron Paul, the mullahs of Iran are only pursuing weapons-grade nuclear capabilities because we drove them to it, and so on.
Whatever you might think of Ron Paul's (and presumably Rand Paul's) beliefs regarding sound money and adherence to Constitutional principles, Paulian foreign policy ideas are irrational, fringe, non-fact-based, tinfoil-hat nonsense.
