Please join me this afternoon on the Washington Post article,

You could all, hands down, feel good about batting them around. It is not as busy and swarming today as Friday or yesterday. I guess they are saving up their wrath for tomorrow and WaPo finally sending a reporter to Gosnell's trial.

Anyway, if you are bored, have had too much to drink already, or just want to mess with people, you are invited. Thanks.

22 "Americans think taxes are fair." That's a quote from Chris Matthews on today's show. He was referring to an IRS survey that shows most respondents said taxes are "fair" rather than "not fair." Were all the respondents tax-payers? Who knows, ptobably not. Were all the respondents American citizens? Probably not. But the message is: Americans think tax rates are fair.

"Lose the W-2 PT's and start thinking underground cash economy type work"

 

 

Not a bad suggestion, and it should be followed or accompanied by the practice of paying cash or bartering for as much as possible.

The one that gets me gritting my teeth every year is the special tax credit for owning a home in Washington DC.

61 from a recent weasel zippers post; This sounds positive... Gun-Rights Leader: “We Snookered The Other Side – They Haven’t Figured It Out Yet” On Toomey-Manchin Background Check Deal, We Made It A “Pro-Gun Bill”… http://tinyurl.com/crm29at A prominent gun-rights advocate claims his group’s staff was in the room during the drafting of the recently unveiled proposal to expand gun-purchase background checks and said that “we snookered the other side — they haven’t figured it out yet.” ... “It’s a Christmas tree,” Mr. Gottlieb said. “We just hung a million ornaments on it.” “We’re taking the background check and making it a pro-gun bill,” he added. “Unfortunately, some of my colleagues haven’t quite figured it out yet because they weren’t sitting in the room writing it,” he continued. “My staff was. I’ll be perfectly candid about it. This will probably break on Monday in the Wall Street Journal.”

62 Money saving tips from an old lady:

1. If you know several people who are short of funds, consider having rotating pitch-in dinners.  Use those old-timey casserole recipes from your grandma and get together for a dinner and play cards or board games.  Pitch in for a couple of bottles of inexpensive wine or a couple of six-packs.  In summer,  grill out hot dogs and have salads and such.

2. Do not buy clothing new unless it can be avoided,  particularly for children.  Swap hand-me-downs with others,  shop garage sales, church rummage sales,  and resale shops.

3. Grow a small garden. 

4. Shop wisely.  Make up menus for 1-2 weeks and buy only items needed.  Do not deviate from your list. Shop sales for necessities like detergent and for staples.

5. Go in with neighbors and stage a garage sale or two.  Dump those old books,  computer games, clothes, and bric-a-brac.

More than 50% of Americans collect some sort of check from the government.

67 Mr. and Mrs. Zod paid their tithe to Leviathan yesterday. We had used H&R to make sure that all our papers were ordentlich in the past, but this time we did it online to save the $600. It ate one of my paychecks and put a kink in our "eliminate all but house debt by 2013 end" plan. Fucking parasites. BTW, I'm in Virginia, and I hate my congressional representation. Also, I'm sorry to that part of America that retains its senses that my fucked-up state voted twice for the JV team. It wasn't this way when I was coming up.

68 Seriously, Team Moron: what's the endpoint? At what point do sane, relatively solvent states (led by Texas, obviously) politely ask for the Constitution and disinvite the portion of the populace that doesn't care for it anyway? Let It Burn is inevitable. When do we start the preplanning for societal reconstruction?

69
BTW - This year is the 100th anniversary of the Revenue Act of 1913, which instituted our modern income tax after the passage of the 16th Amendment.

Saaaaa-lute!

70 You really want to cry? This is government at the barrel of a gun. There is a de facto death sentence for your non-cooperation. Try to ignore them, at your peril. Worse yet, the people in the government, from the president to the dogcatcher, no longer have the moral authority to lead. This began long before Obama. It's over.

71 re 69: well, everyone at the time did agree that it was a good idea. But, as Hillary! says, what does it matter now, we learn from our mistakes

72 Posted by: Miss Marple at April 14, 2013 03:02 PM (GoIUi) I never buy clothes if it's not on sale. And, I always buy at the end of the season, when they dump the stuff. I stick with classic lines that are timeless versus trendy crap. And, since I mostly buy online, I make sure I get free shipping, and use coupons and promo codes for percentages off purchases. There are sites dedicated to giving you the coupons/codes for shopping online. I also have a freezer for my meat (buying in bulk) and garden harvest (as well as my herbs -- I rarely have to buy fresh herbs).

73 anyway,  it can't be that bad yet, can it? They haven't issued a postage stamp with Gus Hall on it.

74 >politely ask for the Constitution<< Never. It's like boiling a frog; we'll accept universal background checks, then we'll allow magazine limitations, then our states will surrender concealed-carry docs to DHS. In time, through constitutional erosion, proles will be well and truly teamed in the traces. I'll be dead before then, I think, but I've already lived long enough to see my neighbors accept the bull-ring as a fashion statement instead of a shackle.

75 "Seriously, Team Moron: what's the endpoint?"

Not for a while, I would bet the eventual financial collapse will be the trigger. A lot of people still think the leftist turn we've been taking can be reversed by an election. Ain't going to happen.

"And while we're on the subject -- Kids!"

83 People on welfare give up even more rights.  If you are in Section 8 housing,  they have the right to enter your house for an inspection at any time. My sister used to work for a company that owned a Section 8 apartment complex, and when the HUD inspector came,  she had to let him in to see if the apartment was in compliance as far as the landlord's duties.  Of course,  the fact that people were IN the apartments made no difference to the inspector.  And the inspections were always "surprises."

Welfare people are always subject to visits from social workers,  and they have to keep filling out forms and such. 

Of course,  most who have been on it for a long time just accept this and know how to get around it.  It's a sad statement on what people will put up with for a government check.

84 To all you morons bitching about sending checks tomorrow; f*ck you, you should have worked longer hours, more overtime, and paid more taxes. Or worked more pt jobs. My life, and free benefits, is infinitely more important then you actually having one. Do you realize how worn out my sofa is? My EBT card isn't gonna fill up by itself.

Thanks. The older I get the more I find out I don't know.

88 Well, I am now bored with smacking a few Washington Post blow-hards around today. It is just not the same without them swarming, as apparently Sunday is their day of rest. Tomorrow is another day! I appear to have succeeded in putting that post re: Gosnell and little national press to rest.

Bless their hearts, here is the synopsis of their vocabulary responses to the opposition: "wing-nut, American Taliban, goobers and goobs (both very popular), right-wing, Teanderthal (this was a new one for me...they combined Tea Bagger with Neanderthal! Eleventy!). Then, when their wee backs are against the wall, they throw in the murder of Tiller and/or Bush's war in Iraq. Faux News, of course. This under the story of Gosnell's slaughterhouse. Oh, and they start wailing that abortion will now be unsafe. Linking other slaugherhouses sort of shuts that argument up. Today I had the opportunity to throw in some Benghazi in the mix, led by their own topic stating that Gosnell and Benghazi are right wing propaganda or some crap. Little did they know I was obsessed and have a sharp memory of major details in Benghazi (it is a pity I cannot recall yesterday). So I silenced that lamb (pun intended as Lamb was the State Dept Rep at the first Congressional Hearing on Benghazi).

I even managed to compare Jug-Ears war in Libya, tying with a big red bow the Muslim Brotherhood and the potential gun-walking in Libya to Syria when Iraq came up today.

I am tired, so time for vino. Pay attention tomorrow, Morons and 'ettes, as there may be more reporters at the Gosnell trial now that the news agencies, thanks to conservative bloggers and Kristen Powers and others, have shamed the living daylights out of them. It will be interesting to see their spin at the mass murder trial. Meanwhile. I am pooped but ran off a few who did not want to mess with me. My little contribution to Ace's relay on this topic.

89

BTW, is anybody still pretending to believe that Obama ISN'T a socialist? Even after his "you didn't build that" socialist manifesto?

 

Maybe it's like his gay marriage stance, where when he "came out" on it nobody got all shocked and outraged because the right knew he was lying about it in the first place, and the only people on the left (who also knew he was lying) that are against it, again, only care about the color of his skin.

He has been out to destroy this country since the day he was inaugurated.  He hates all of us,  even those of the black community,  whom he sees as suckers easily duped by a few nice words by Beyonce and Jay-Z.

He's out to destroy churches,  too,  at least those who stand up to him.  And I have no idea he would like to Israel destroyed as well.

well,  I have said this about once a week so I will be quiet.

94 Flipping channels I just stumbled on possibly the gayest TV show ever. It's on NBC. Some sort of combo figure skating and gymnastics Olympic dance show. There's a gymnastics floor in the middle of an ice rink and the Olympians from both sports are doing coordinated dancing between them. Apparently gymnasts are really bad dancers. Also a lot of the gymnast girls have apparently gotten chunky. Oddest thing I've seen on TV in a long, long time. It came on NBC right after a Monster Truck show. NBC is trying balance out their femme and butch sides I guess.

95

ChristyBlinky is reminding me a little of St Andrew Breitbart.  The country needs so many more of you guys.  I really never thought I'd live to see the day where somebody who steps up as a staunch supporter of the US Constitution would literally be derided as a "radical".

 

On a side note, I wonder if the horde has heard about the brownshirts having arrived in Western NY.  It was actually a little heartening, that when the light was shined on those cockroaches, they scattered in a hurry, even here in the People's Republic of WNY.  OTOH, it was exactly like Fast and Furious, or Benghazi, where suddenly nobody knows what happened, or who possibly could have issued the orders, or why. It was all a big mistake, you see!

 

What happened was that one guy in particular (although there was at least one other, who I didn't as much about) had the local authorities contact him, demanding that he surrender his guns - that this was at the request of the NYS police, who (according to the letter) had investigated him and determined that since he had been prescribed an anti-anxiety drug at some point in his life that they were revoking his license to have them. Further, that his guns would be destroyed in one year if his license was not reinstated.

 

So we had a trifecta of Unconstitutionality, from denial of the right to bear arms, to illegal search (of his medical records), to denial of due process in seizing his property. Not to mention violation of Federal HEPA (or is it HIPA?) laws.

 

So, consistent with the handling of Benghazi, we are being asked to believe a variety of patently absurd things. First of all, they said it was a case of mistaken identity (as if there's some other guy in WNY with his name who has also has anti-anxiety drugs prescribed). Then you have the locals and the state police pointing fingers at each other. We're not supposed to notice that this comes at the exact same time that Gov Cuomo is pushing his fascist guns laws, while Obama is pushing for the same.

 

The local media was unintentionally funny, actually reporting the case, but in a "nothing to see here" way (cue Frank Drebin...). One reported the "fact" that it was simply a "mistake", which is basically like catching your kid with his hand in the cookie jar, asking him what's going on, having them say "Oh, my bad - I thought it was a bran muffin!", and then your saying, "Well, that must be what happened then!!" They literally reported the perpetrator's side of the story as fact. One reporter even went so far as to say, "no word yet on whether they have tracked down the correct person yet." Wow. How gullible can you get?

96

Posted by: Optimizer at April 14, 2013 04:22 PM (Mxt9o)

 

"Mistaken identity" is hardly a good argument for them. They're basically saying "Oh, we didn't mean to illegally abridge *this* guys rights, we meant to illegally abridge *that* guys rights. Al better now?"

97 Jesus things crashed under bush and.haven't. Gotten any better except for the 1%

98 easily duped by a few nice words by Beyonce Beyonce who says, "put a ring on it" is met with a yawn. Some conservative like Dr. Laura asks, "Do you have a ring and a date?" and she's a h8ter, out of touch with the AA community. I had to laugh out loud when I saw that.

99 "Unsustainable" is the word for everything the "enemy" ( according to Hussein Obama) does. Giving weapons to the Muslim Brotherhood? Unsustainable The E.P.A.? Unsustainable War on profit and capitalism? Unsustainable Normalization of perversion? Unsustainable I could go on, but you all know already. The question is, what comes after?

#93 "#89 I don['t think he's even a socialist. I think he is an anti-American nation-wrecker who will do whatever policy is the most destructive. This is why we have both socialist policies and crony-capitalism. ..."

 

I am honored by your response, Miss Marple, but am surprised that you seem to be implying that being a socialist and being an "anti-American nation-wrecker" are mutually exclusive.

 

I think it was Jerry Boyer (IIRC) where I first heard the theory that Obama is a Fabian Socialist. He said he recognized it because his father had been one. That was way back before Obama was elected. Since then, Glenn Beck had his show where he treated the subject in  great detail.

 

My case is this: First of all, Obama signed up for the New Party ticket, back in IL. Since that was an officially-socialist party, that shows that Obama at least WAS officially a socialist. His "Joe the Plumber" moments was a strong indicator that he remained very much a socialist, but the proof-positive came from the "you didn't build that" speech, where he told us - in his own words - his own moral justification for nationalizing any company that the govt feels like nationalizing. You just can't rattle off that kind of crap by accident, and believing that stuff is the very definition of being a socialist.

 

It's ridiculous that Romney and the supposedly right wing media never fully called it for what it was. Maybe they were cowards - afraid of being called racists or conspiracy nuts. Maybe they were just too lazy to actually look at what he said, or too ignorant to recognize it for what it was. The really remarkable thing about it is that the proof was laying right out there in plain sight - on whitehouse.gov, not some anti-Obama blog. How can a guy who so completely repudiated what is commonly called "the American Dream" get re-elected? We have been disarmed by political correctness and are paying dearly for it now.

 

The only explanation for why anybody would spend ALL their political capital - even sacrificing their political allies in the process - to install a  huge new entitlement program at a time when the national debt is spiraling out of control, and then piss away $1T to run it up further, and then favorable compare yourself to FDR (Social Security), Johnson (Medicare/Medicaid), and Lincoln (mentioned last, only because he freed the slaves) is Cloward-Piven. That's the Fabian Socialist tactic of "transforming America" (into a socialist state), by tearing it down (and then blaming capitalism!).

 

It's all too obvious, at this point, I'd say.

 

101 Went to see 12 Angry Men put on by Local Arts Council. It was a word for word remake of the movie, no PC bedazzling or updating. It was actually good.

"Mistaken identity" is hardly a good argument for them. They're basically saying "Oh, we didn't mean to illegally abridge *this* guys rights, we meant to illegally abridge *that* guys rights. Al better now?"  '

 

Part of the unintentional hilarity. I guess you're supposed to jump to the conclusion that they were REALLY after one of those crazy guys, like who had perpetrated one of the recent gun-free-zone shooting sprees. You're supposed to trust that these guys know what their doing, and have you safety at heart, even though - by THEIR story - they're screw-ups.

 

Being statists, it probably never even occurs to these reporters that the police statements should not be taken as fact in an instance where THEY are the accused.

 

This is REALLY bad s**t.  This guy had NO criminal record - was what you might call a "model citizen" in every way. They illegally accessed his medical files, and took his guns away on a lame pretext. They wouldn't even let him simply sell them instead (there are six or seven, some fairly expensive). He used them for sport shooting at a range.

 

But, hey - there are dead kids in CT, so - as Hillary famously put it - "What difference does it make!?!"

 

103 @97  Que dice?

104 Just watched the Psy video linked in the sidebar. That guy's pretty good and he's got the pants thing goin' on. But he's gay as shit.

ChristyBlinky is reminding me a little of St Andrew Breitbart.


Do not think I have been so humbled. Thank you. If every Moron and "ette, with the boldness and talent here amongst the horde, would take Ace's lead and swat crazy libs at their own game the truth will be read by some. Or, that is what I figure. You will easily recognize me on that blog by Erik Wemple, as I mock, therefore I rule. They have no concept how to handle mocking in their narcissism and constant need to "win" arguments as they take offense at any, and I mean, any light shown on their little progressive parade. It is like taking candy from a baby, or in their case, liberal offended boys in Mama's basement with index cards listing insults (which I mocked all weekend).


This week may be important in the abortion fight. Please join me at WaPo and elsewhere. Let the truth be known. Mock, as only Morons and 'Ette's know best. You have practice here...use it. Love you all.

106 P.S.

If you are board, drunk or angry (or all three! The Trifecta!), please join me at the Washington Post blog tonight.

Here is where I signed off on the subject of Gosnell if you do a search in the blog under Gosnell. You will recognize me, I am sure. Tomorrow, after they actually fill one of those empty chairs of the reserved chairs for reporters, it could get interesting. Here is the current thread if you search under Gosnell where I have been a-mocking and swatting:

"In the Kermit Gosnell case, conservative watchdogs rattle the mainstream mediaÂ’s cage"

107 I have a job, a good job in fact.  In fact it's a new job that took me a year to find while I was being driven crazy in my old job.  I am grateful...  I have savings, I do not live paycheck to paycheck for the first time in my life.  I am grateful...  But I work downtown in a large-ish city now and I see where my local, state and federal taxes are going.  And I wonder why in the hell I got sober 21 years ago, learned a skill, got a college education and improved my lot in life, day after day, year after year, just so the governments can take a bigger and bigger chunk of my hard earned money so others can continue to make stupid decisions; decisions that don't seem to have consequences.  Decisions that on the face of it make absolutely no fucking sense in that they are harder to implement than just doing the "right thing".  I am very ready for retirement...

Some sort of combo figure skating and gymnastics Olympic dance show.
Posted by: Flatbush Joe




NBC Skating and Gymnastics Spectacular

Despite that gymnastics and skating are two different sports and compete in different Olympics, the cast says there are a lot of similarities between the two that many people don't realize.

Some of the skaters even admitted to trying gymnastics when they were younger.



"Ha! Ha! Multiple entendre!"

109 Give credit where credit is due, dunderkind. It took the Democrats less than two years to destroy the economy.

110 and.haven't. Gotten any better But it's good that you realize that your mocha messiah is incompetent. Baby steps.

111 I believe it was Miss Marple who had the helpful tips fo living well with less. I liked them all,I especially liked the have a garden suggestion. In 2007 I began putting in 22 8x6 raised beds. It took two years to finish, but now we have asparagus enough to enjoy and save, pickles galore, tomatoes galore,blackberries,raspberries and strawberries,TONS of garlic,bees to pollenate and make delicious honey plus about a dozen beds for salad greens and anything else we want. When all this comes down......which it will, we will at least have something to eat.

112 Sadly those of us who voted against another 4 years of Obama are going to suffer through this but those who voted for him or those who stayed home... you earned it.  Sympathy level: Zero.
