Kathleen Parker: Only Women Bring Peace So Vote Hillary! to Save the World
The other WaPo 'conservative' columnist:
Here's a thought: She [Hillary Clinton] can save the world.Let's begin with a working (and provable) premise: Women, if allowed to be fully equal to men, will bring peace to the planet. This is not so far-fetched a notion. One, men have been at it for thousands of years, resulting in millions and millions of corpses. Two, countries where women are most oppressed and abused are also the least stable.
Three, as women become more empowered, especially financially, countries become more stable.
What does this have to do with Hillary? Quite a bit.
But per Parker a President Palin would be bad, bad, bad!

RIP Admiral Sir 'Sandy' Woodward
He commanded the British carrier battle group Task Force 317.8 during the Falklands war and died last week at the age of 81.
On the passage south Woodward visited as many ships as he could, though his message to the various ships' companies of the destroyers and frigates was uncompromising: "You've taken the Queen's shilling. Now you're going to have to bloody earn it. And your best way of getting back alive is to do your absolute utmost. So go and do it."

Was Little House on the Prairie Meant to be an Anti-New Deal Fable?
Wilder and Lane responded with their now-famous sequels. From the start, there was tension between their approaches. Wilder argued for strict accuracy, while Lane, the seasoned commercial writer, injected made-up dialogue, took out stories about criminals and murder, and-most significantly-recast the stoic, sometimes confused pioneers as optimistic, capable people who achieved success without any government help.
Laura Ingalls Wilder never got used to Lane's heavy rewrites, but the evidence suggests that on the main approach, playing up toughness in adversity, she agreed with her daughter. Both women believed fervently that the nation in the depths of the Depression had become too soft. In 1937, Wilder wrote Lane that people's complaints about having no jobs made her sick. ("People drive me wild," she wrote. "They as a whole are getting just what they deserve.")

Joe Bastardi has been posting on Twitter that we will probably have a bad winter, as a precursor to a new Little Ice Age.
So: Winterize your car over the next couple of months, lay in some firewood, buy a gas cannister for your grill, and buy a little extra food each week which can be used if you can't get out of the house.
None of these things will bankrupt you and you will be SO glad if you are hit by a blizzard like in 1978!

Pa ran a hotel in Iowa, and the family had a little boy. But the little boy died and I don't recall that the hotel did well, either. This was also when Wilder had a conversion-experience, to Christianity (the family was already Christian... the term used these days is "born again").

Have your locksmith test the tumbler set on a lock of any make to be sure it is not vulnerable to an artfully wielded "bump key". An amazing number of residential locks are.
I think we have a technological inflection point shortly to arrive regarding the vulnerability of common mechanical locks.
There will still be locks in 20 years' time, but they will operate quite differently than today's locks do.
That said, any residential burglar worth his salt will just go round and look for unlocked doors or open windows or spare keys under the flowerpots before trying any trickery with the locks. Works in a disturbingly high percentage of cases.
There's also a nasty entry trick that I hadn't counted on, involving garage doors. You DO have a secure solid core door with a deadbolt in between the garage and the rest of the residence, that's always locked, do you not? You don't? Oh. Oh dear.

Actually I do, at least I think it's a solid core door, but it has a deadbolt.
Our garage has a side door into it, so it can't be considered "safe."
I do keep a spare key hidden in the garage, but I'm guessing anyone breaking into the garage isn't going to look for it. Plus they could always smash my sliding glass door and get in.

A lot of places in FL with attached roofed over porches just have ordinary sheetrock as the porch ceiling.
A few whacks with a 5lb mini-sledge or a minute or two with a sheetrock stab saw and you're into the attic, thus bypassing all the usual entry point alarms.
A lot of newer wood frame places up north only have plywood sheeting at the corners for structural rigidity with the bulk of the exterior wall being siding hung straight over tyvek wrapped studs. Those places you can just rip some siding off, slit the tyvek, and punch your way through the sheetrock into an interior room

If you want to know about actual life in rural WY, cancel your television nonsense and go there and see for yourself.
Don't rely on a southern California television "reimagining" of it by people who have never been anywhere near the place, who acidly refer to the locals who actually live in places like WY as "flyovers", and who are shooting speedballs and molesting kids when they're not at their television jobs.

Thanks for my sweet dreams tonight! I have an alarm system with motion things. So if someone drops in the roof while I am here...oh, wait, the motion detectors are off when alarm set for home. I guess I will be dead from fright if that happens anyway and I am here alone.
I am in a craka neighborhood with little crime, so there's that.We have some kind of hole things on porch roof to allow hurricane winds to whistle through. We do lock our laundry room door to garage door, which is always closed due to snake fear over robber fear. Many, many people do not lock the door leading to garage. There are a lot of stoopid people in Florida.

I actually am a fan of the dog mix concept. I wasn't before.
Then someone showed me their dog security. Hunter-killer model.
They have three hyperactive little dogs who are out on the perimeter all the time. The sort of dogs who make a lot of yappy noise at anyone who walks past, but whose presence would not deter anyone from actually coming over the fence.
Behind the three noisy little dogs, there are the two big quiet dogs who are ready to take care of business.
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't have seen it, but it's a great combination.
The small dogs don't make enough noise individually to piss of the neighbors, but any genuine threat will get two or more of them in the mix, and that's enough to get one of the big dogs awake and interested. And then if one of the big dogs sounds off, the other one will show up promptly.
It would be hard to get on that property without permission.

I have an English shephers, best described as a black farm collie. She is VERY trritorial and won't allow anyone in the yard or house.
My daughter moved in with 2 dogs, a rattrrier/Bostontrrier mis, and a chihuahua/Pomeranian mix.
When they see something or hea something, the little dogs go ballistic and bark up a storm. The big dog chimes in. If I open the door, they run out as a pack, and I think most people would avoid entering the yard or house.

Yes. It will appear as a new star where indicated, and brighter than all the stars outside of the main stars in Delphinus, and equal in brightness to the brighter stars in Sagitta now. It is at magnitude 4.5 per the latest reports, .5 mags brighter than when I made the post just 2 hours ago and a full 2 mags brighter than at the beginning of last night.

We had a raccoon in attic a few years ago who sounded like a man walking on the roof and scared me to death. A trapper cracka came out and scouted around and decided they were getting in through something in roof (can't remember name, but husband and sons put plywood in porch thing and they went elsewhere). He said they can get up to 40 lbs and drop through ceiling, which would also cause me to expire pretty quickly.
Anyway, husband kept card for trapper guy, who had seen it all and is a character. He discussed roof rats and stuff like that I'd rather not know about until I move West. Anyway, no one believes me but I think a vole or something like a black toupee scooted out from couch one day when I was unloading groceries from deadly garage. I called husband and was hysterical on phone. He told me to put towel under door to that wing of house where toupee ran to on his little legs (he had no tail). Told me to call trapper man, who came while I was at work. Trapper man asked me if I had "droppings on floor near baseboards." I told him I would not know what a dropping looked like but I did not see a dropping I saw a black toupee thing with no tail. He went through house and decided that the little lady had a floater in her eye or something as there were no droppings or sign of critters. He told husband to tell me whatever it was...wink, wink...was gone. I was sober and it happened. And it is still somewhere in here with the damn lizards that come in now and then to torment me.
So, being the tough Florida woman that I am, I might stand a better chance fighting a falling robber/looter than the creatures from the dark lagoon of this state.
On that note, I will go off to my restless sleep and know who to blame.

Okay, I was just outside with my binoculars...and I think I spotted the new Nova star.
But I was getting eat up by skeeters.
We've had so much rain this summer, we've got swarms of the little fuckers.

Word. But after they bite me, the best cure for the itching, I've found, is to liberally spray the whole area(s) with Windex. Or any ammonia-based spray. Let it dry and the itching goes away. Like magik, swear to beans.

"138.) He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not: Part Two
May 12, 1980
Written by Michael Landon
Directed by Michael Landon
Laura helps Adam and Mary set up a new blind school in Sleepy Eye, to try and get her mind off Almonzo. That doesn't work because Almonzo is in Sleepy Eye. When Almonzo gets very ill from working too hard, Laura rushes to help him.
She finds out that he had been secretly helping to pay for the rent for the blind school. Almonzo pulls through, thanks to Laura being at his side. Charles decides to allow Almonzo to marry Laura one year earlier, rather than making him wait two years."
So, obviously, Almonzo's ass-busting hard work is what kept the school for the blind open, and not the federal teat.

Older homes...homes built in the 60's and 70's, or older...may have their garish cosmetic features.
But they are better-built than most of the ones that are being thrown up today.
And with bigger rooms...higher ceilings.
And most of the older houses have a Window over the Kitchen Sink!
That is a biggie for me.
I hate these newer homes that have the kitchen in the center of the house...with no window over the kitchen sink.

I had seen all the ugliest stuff you can imagine. My father was a kitchen and bath designer / remodeler, so I worked with him for some years. I figured I had done around 200 kitchens in my time, and that means 200 ugly kitchens done in the 60's and 70's I had to rip out. Holy shit...just unreal the stuff people thought looked good. I had started coming up with names for the styles, like "early depression mediterranean", or "urban farm " etc

Ah, wood paneling (or however you define "wood" in this case). I've watched home remodeling shows that have just painted over the wood paneling vs. ripping it out. My childhood home (until age 6) had wood paneling.
Posted by: Vendette at August 16, 2013 12:32 AM (8JbVT)
Our house, which was built in 1955, had an entire wall (to the living room/dining area) that was paneling over studs, later floated with drywall mud, and covered with horrible wallpaper that had actual grass-like plants woven in an open weave stuck on it. Needless to say, we tore all that crap out, stuffed insulation between the studs, and properly applied drywall. If you pressed between the studs, the wall would actually flex.

Shit, there were many. I did baths too, so some of those really took the cake. I know the bath in my house was right up there. It had mint green and yellow tiles, mint green toilet, tub, and sink that was installed on some home made vanity made out of dark paneling with a mosaic tiled top with sharp corners. Yeah I nuked that room really quick.
Kitchens varied, a lot of times they were really old and had been painted over with those crappy dark antiquing kits people would buy, and sometimes if you were lucky you would see it matched with dark paneling and totally disgusting indoor outdoor type carpet tiles in a lovely shade of red with harvest gold aplliances. Those were among the worst. I found that the really old "intact" kitchens done in the 40's or 50's actually could look better than a lot of the stuff done in the 70's, because those had normal colors. There was a fetish with metal cabinets in the 50's and 60's it seems, and some of those were a riot because most of them were painted by the time I got to them. One had metal cabs that were painted gloss black with a bright red counter top and a black and white floor. In reality a lot were just equally gross, all the 70's colors were shit.

An Army soldier who died in the Fort Hood attack was shot 12 times as he charged Maj. Nidal Hasan, it was revealed Thursday during Hasan's court-martial.
Spc. Frederick Greene, 29, of Mountain City, Tenn., was identified as the solider whose gunshot wounds were 'consistent' with him trying to charge Hasan, Dr. Phillip Berran, a pathologist, said. He reviewed photos of Greene's body for the judge before jurors were led into the courtroom.
And thank you forever Mr. Greene for your service and your bravery. What a shame that your family can't even get a Purple Heart to remember you by; because the dickless soulless turds in DC decreed this incident 'workplace violence'.
All to push their bullshit agenda. They really don't give a fuck about anything but power. This makes me sick.

Oh yeah, the vanity was made from 1X2 pine (furring strips) and dark paneling. It had surpassed many a bathroom I enjoyed putting a hammer to. The kitchen was equally retarded. The cabs were home made, were super dark brown, had a fake butcher block formica top, brown linoleum floor, and the dreaded wallpaper with the fruits, veggies, clocks and pots with various spice names mixed in. It was very clean, but among the uglier shit I have seen. You would never recognize the house there days, but man it was nasty.
The family room was medium dark paneling with BLACK...BLACK painted moldings, and a dark brown rug. I curse the former owner to this day.

....those crappy dark antiquing kits people would buy
Lay down a base coat of a light color, then brush on a dark stain and try to rub most of it off before it dried. Impossible to match sections for color or pattern. Stain inevitably got on to the wrong areas or you dropped a stain soaked rag and ruined the floor.
On the upside, looked like crap.

“The possibility that unsearched personal email accounts may have been used for official business raises the possibility that leaders in the EPA may have purposefully attempted to skirt disclosure under the FOIA,” Lambert wrote. “The possibility that the agency purposefully excluded the top leaders of the EPA from the search, at least initially, suggests an unreasonable and bad faith reading of Landmark’s FOIA request and subsequent agreement to narrow its scope.”
Lambert also said the EPA’s statements concerning its search for records were incomplete and “contain numerous inconsistencies and reversals which undermine confidence in their truthfulness.”
Just go read 5 USC § 552.
There are no penalties
This is as good as it gets:
(6) The Attorney General of the United States shall submit an annual report on or before April 1 of each calendar year which shall include for the prior calendar year a listing of the number of cases arising under this section, the exemption involved in each case, the disposition of such case, and the cost, fees, and penalties assessed under subparagraphs (E), (F), and (G) of subsection (a)(4). Such report shall also include a description of the efforts undertaken by the Department of Justice to encourage agency compliance with this section.
USAG Eric Holder will submit a report.

there are not ordinary cats. right now I have two or three who are truly super. Cecil, who Merovingn LOVES. and Mouffette, who runs my barn and lives in my tackroom she truly is black and white Norwegian forest cat marked like a police car with a skunk stripe. How about that? Then i got a defective Sphynx with short pure white hair that plays fetch. Truly an embarrassment of feline riches

But when a cat decides you are worth nestling on...
If I had money, I'd adopt them all. Alas, I don't have any money, and likely won't, ever again. But still, for a few moments, they get their necks scratched and get to purr. Not sure what else would be worthwhile.

bless you for sitting with the homeless ones to bring them love and comfort. every time i go to the shelter i leave crying my eyes out and our town has a no kill shelter! you are doing gods work, Null

It's appalling to me that that piece of shit essentially rescinded his endorsement of his own party's presidential candidate, and he still isn't being laughed out the door when his name and "presidential candidate" are used in the same sentence. No, he's currently considered the frontrunner. Just shows how utterly worthless the Republican party is as a political force.

I, too, love animals.....but I'm seriously allergic, which I only discovered when I moved out of my parent's house and went off to college -- and, miraculously, was no longer a sickly kid.
Funny thing, though -- I'll be sitting at a party with 23 people in a room, and a cat will walk through the door, look around, make a beeline to me, and hop in my lap. I think they're attracted to histamine.

It's the "cat thing." For cats, people who stare at them and want to hug them, etc, are seen by the cat as threats. Because cats are weird. So cats will go to the person who ignores them the most. It's because cats are weird but also because cats are bizarro creatures. Plus I can totally draw a liger and have ninja skills and stuff. You'll never guess what movie I just watched, because you can't and stuff.

I was floored and delighted by Mary Hartman, especially Loretta, but didn't like Soap at first. Never watched it. Then, one night about 9 years later, I settled down and gave it a try. It dawned on me that Soap is a cartoon! If you replaced Burt with a penguin, the stories would hardly change. After that, I loved it.
