1 Good Morning Morons. Today is Friday, November 29, 2013. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and ate to their hearts content. I sure did and my scales this morning show it. ON this date in 1877 Thomas Edison demonstrated his phonograph for the first time. One wonders if he had any idea the far-reaching impact on music it would have. He did not play any rap or hip hop.

4 As more and more sales push into Thanksgiving the sales for Black Friday have begun to decrease. Retailers are learning that there is only so much money to go around. Trashing Thanksgiving is not helping their bottom line.

21 In a ruling that is blatantly political, an Obama appointee rules that the Obamacide law was not a revenue bill despite the billions in tax increases that it had, and that taking a bill already passed by the House and deleting everything in it and filling it with the Obamacide law was A-OK. Needless to say, the ruling is being appealed. I was wondering when someone would challenge this shit law under the underhanded way it was originated and passed. And now that Reid has invoked the nuclear option Obama will be able to fully replace most of the courts with this kind of scrunt judge.

37 From the story about the kid with cancer whose coverage Obama has terminated as 'substandard':

Â“I called again, and then I was told he could expedite it," [his mom] explained. Â“But then, I called back the next day, and the next, and, finally, the lady told me the only way to expedite it is if my son was pregnant and in labor or an illegal."

Pretty much sums it up.

40 Reading over old threads this morning, I saw someone asked about peeling boiled eggs. Try adding a slightly-heaped teaspoon of baking soda when cooking them. Not much more or less, or in won't help. You'll occasionally have one that splits open while cooking, or one that still doesn't peel easily, but overall it's a tremendous improvement.

Fr'instance, if the article has anything good to say, it's always about The Agenda and those who promote it. If it's negative, it's always about a Pubbie, a conservative, the Tea Party, Ted Cruz, She Who Must Not Be Named, traditional American values, Flyover Country, the Constitution or old white guys.

But not this guy. Grew up on a pig farm in Georgia. NOT an Academy grad. Five combat deployments. This gal was staggered by how many firearms he owned. These are all good signs. He even took her to the range 2 weeks ago to introduce her to the evil, semi-automatic, assault black gun. She had a ball. If you read her bio on the NPR website, we'd all roll our eyes and think, "typical liberal" But he's got his hooks in deep on her political views. I eagerly await the day it shows up in her reporting. Won't hold my breath too long on that thoughÂ…..

99 Also hoping everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I spent mine at the beautiful 100-year old Grove Park Inn in Asheville. Gorgeous setting, beautiful inn. Then my experience was polluted when I saw the framed picture of the SCOAMF playing on their famous golf course, along with a basketball he signed.

120 Black Friday warm-up: According to police, a man purchased a big-screen television from the Target near Flamingo Rd. and Maryland Pkwy. While he was walking to a nearby apartment complex, a suspect approached and fired a warning shot, causing the victim to drop the television. Officers tell 8 News NOW the suspect then took the television to a nearby waiting vehicle, where a second suspect was waiting. As the first suspect was loading the television into the vehicle, the victim approached and tried to get the television back. That prompted the suspect to fire several more rounds, shooting the victim in the leg.

131 I've gotten to the point that when a news story doesn't mention the race of the suspect/criminal/attacker/violator, I just assume "black". Is that racist or just a good educated assumption? Posted by: Icedog at November 29, 2013 08:28 AM (uZ6Ul) Our local news does the same thing. They never give the race of perpetrators anymore. Otherwise, it would require acknowledging the rampant violence in the black community. Since criminals tend to commit the crimes where they live, the blacks are the ones being ill-served by the bigotry of low expectations by the Leftists and MFM.

159 During the Dallas halftime show I expressed surprise to my husband that they were partnering with the Salvation Army, since they are one of the latest Homophobia Boogiemen and supporting them is now controversial in some quarters. Sho nuff, in my Facebook feed someone immediately started bitching about 'institutional homophobia,' which led me to leave a sarcastic comment, which led to me feeling badly about being mouthy to a friend on Thanksgiving. Then I felt pissed off that liberals never, ever, ever feel badly about injecting their politics and assuming that everyone agrees with them.

I don't remember Greece that way. Or maybe it was Albania. I might have been drinking back then. I suppose that is how wealth distribution works. A taxpayer dies and her estate is gobbled by the mob (liv/dems).
