— Gabriel Malor Happy Wednesday.
A new Q poll has Chris Christie's approval rating at 74 percent. The Democrat who runs closest to Christie (former interim Gov. Dick Codey) trails him by 29 points. Cory Booker leads Sen. Frank Lautenberg, 51-30% in the Democratic primary.
Foreign Policy mag's Daniel Drezner writes an open letter to the NYTimes telling the "paper of record" to bench Tom Friedman for being an utter fool.
For those who were wondering, here's the text (PDF) of the House's debt ceiling bill, with the House and Senate pay withholding provision. It avoids the Twenty Seventh Amendment merely by withholding payment until the earlier of either the last day of the current Congress or the day that a concurrent budget resolution is approved.
Health insurance brokers are trying to prepare their clients for major Obamacare sticker shock. Among other things, premium prices may triple by the end of the year.
Italian sting operations reveal the mafia is heavily involved in green energy subsidies.
And finally, for the lawgeeks, the Supreme Court's gay marriage cases are getting into full swing. Yesterday, the Prop 8 proponents filed the opening brief in their case, which you can read here (PDF). The House Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG) also filed its opening brief in the separate DOMA litigation, which you can read here (PDF).

I think that might be classified as science fiction. I also wonder if the White House commissioned it.

I'm right here with you. I've got a headache from the warm front moving in, the smoke detectors were beeping when I got out of bed (I just fucking changed the batteries not even a month ago), and I thought I'd get back into quilting for relaxation, but I keep getting e-mails about quilt things that all take place on weekdays, because women who work to support themselves instead of having a husband to pay all their bills aren't good enough for their stupid little club (not to mention the price of cotton has gone up about 115% since the last time I was serious...I paid $30 for thread for two lap quilts on Saturday. Fuck.)

Howdily-doodily, neighboreenos.
I want to start out by apologizing if I offended any of you yesterday during the various threads. It’s why I tend to stay out of the political discussions beyond the basic “TFG suxxor! Eleventy!”
Anyway. . .yesterday I promised aussie I’d tell an Errol Flynn story, and J.J. said I ought to repeat the one he read in Flynn's autobiography, My Wicked, Wicked Ways called the "Duck Necklace" story. Don't worry – even though it’s Flynn, "duck necklace" is not something you’re going to have to hit the Urban Dictionary for.
The story takes place during FlynnÂ’s boyhood in Tasmania. It seems that one day he happened to look in the neighbors' yard and saw a flock of ducks - perhaps six or seven of them - along with the usual assortment of pigs and dogs and all sorts of animals. While he watched, the neighbor appeared with a big slop jar: "He came out one day with a full bowl and emptied it into the yard, along with a big piece of boiled meat, fat, greasy and disgusting. A duck came along and glub! swallowed the piece whole."
Of course, ducks don't eat meat. Flynn knew this, so, curious, he followed the duck around the yard to see what would happen and, sure enough, about ten minutes later, out popped the piece of meat, whole and undigested, from the back end of the duck. This gave the young mischief-maker an idea: he picked up the clump of meat, brought it back into the house, washed it and then threaded a length of twine through it. He then walked back to his neighbors' yard and tossed the meat to one of the ducks, who immediately swallowed it - and the length of twine - whole. Ten minutes later - pop! out it shat. Laughed Flynn, years later, "Now the twine is going in through the mouth and coming out behind, so off I went to the next one! The second duck swallowed it, and now the twine was running into and out of two ducks in a row - so on to a third! Then the fourth and the fifth. . ."
Within the space of an hour, Flynn had seven ducks all chained together with a piece of string, and happily earned pocket money by charging the neighborhood children a shilling each to watch the "duck necklace" walking all together in a line.
IÂ’m going to try to stay under the radar today. I hope you all have a wonderful day. And please donÂ’t forget my book, The DirectorÂ’s Cut: A Theda Bara Mystery,on Kindle and at the Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites.

I got cut off on my morning commute. The cutter proceeded to box me from getting past him. I was frothing at the mouth, but then decided not to shorten my life with that fool. I turned on the classical music station, which usually helps, and here I am.

When I went to "A" school in N. Chicago some drunk came back one night and ripped the door off the hinges. I slept in a rack only 10 feet from that door. Nothing like -60 wind (chill factor) whistling through a door while you are trying to sleep.
We used to put our beer on the window ledge outside to chill. Problem was if you left it more than a few minutes it would freeze.

Well, that was pretty much me for the last half of 2012.
The good news? You can get over it once the LIB mentality sinks in (which is easy once you realize that it's gonna burn anyway and there ain't nothing you, me and what's left of non-sheeple America can do about it) and I'm actually much happier and at peace.
The bad news? Well, The Burning Time is going to suck for all of us. And the local Bass Pro is all out of ammo.

When I started, quilt shop fabric was $5-8/yd. Now it's $10-16 yd. Part of it's cotton prices (droughts, petroleum prices); part of it's QE-Infinity.
So I'm starting with finishing up the tops I found in a box, and then I'll move on to all the fabric I dyed three years ago when I was working 800 miles from home.

Damn, going to have to go read your comments...offending this crew is no easy task.
I don't know what it was. I just got an e-mail from one of the 'rons apologizing if they'd offended me. Since I couldn't remember what had been said, or taking offense, I'm apologizing in general. I assume it's something I said concerning the "abortion being a hill to die on" or the "innocent people have died because of the death penalty" threads.
It's not important, really. I'm just starting the morning with a blanket sorry!
Glad you liked the story, J.J. - and your saying I tell it well is a great compliment!

Any other Romance of the 3 Kingdom fans?
I figure I'll post a link and a short summary and answer any questions. Gonna try to lurk more, post less, and work on "smiley face."
So without further ado, Sven J Olafson Chinese History "However long" Theater presents....
http://youtu.be/WNHnX4xsplo
Three Kingdoms covers the period from ~189 AD to ~280AD, the Chinese use stories from the period to reinforce character lessons to young people and give lessons on the nature and personalities of power and the roles of duty and filial piety. The saga is presented with magic, demi-gods, and fate as its own force tearing concentrated power asunder and craftings its recovery and rebirth at intervals. Several of the Characters have been revered in Chinese lore since the period including such maintays of modern video games on the period as Liu bei, Cao Cao, and Guan Yu.
In todays' episode the Emperor calls in Dong Zhuo from the frontier to help stabilize the Kingdom after He Jin the leader of Imperial forces who defeated the Yellow Turban Rebellion was murdered by a conspiracy of Eunuchs and the favorite Royal concubine. Dong Zhuo filled a power vacuum created when Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, SunJian and others of He Jin's General Staff murdered several of the eunuchs, by bringing in people from the frontier and 2d tier powerful families to take over administration. Rather than repair the damage to the countryside inflicted by the 5 year rebellion that had just been subjugated, Dong Zhuo decided to focus on an "artistic renaissance" and concentrate financial power in the Capital at Luo Yang leading to anxiety and responsibility for recovery being seen by the peasantry and gentry as being administered by the local militia leadership.
The Emperor Ling has died having his equally weak and ineffective oldest son Liu Ban take power, in an act that earned the disrespect of many patriots Dong Zhuo decides to remove Liu Ban and crown his younger brother Liu Xie installed. The Southwestern corner of the nation led by Imperial cousin Liu Yan isolated his region from the influence of the Imperial court and people start plotting against the Prime Minister and plan to stabilize the rule of the Han and allow economic recovery. Heroes and Villains will rise and fall, and nothing will be the same.
If inclined one might compare and contrast this production of the saga with the 1995 production.
There is a much better quality of many visuals this go around, and the story is given a slightly wider scope of focus.
Enjoy.

Georgetown may be OK, don't know much about it though other than it is in easy driving distance to Charleston.
May want to go further North and take a look at Myrtle Beach. That is boomtown in SC and the metro area had a population of 500K the last time I checked. Traffic there is hell though in the Winter and pure hell in the Summer.

Georgetown's primary businesses are a paper mill, and an on again/off again steel mill. There's some lumber recovery and residual business and it is a long commute away from Charleston and within easy driving distance of Myrtle Beach of course. Our condo was in Surfside Beach, and the southern beach communities have a fairly sizeable population of retired New Englanders.
J.J. in the end it boils down to what you are looking for in relocation, and what your spouse needs career and socialization wise.
I wish you the best of luck in finding your place.

Nothing to apologize for; I just hate stories about animals being abused.
...but if he'd cut their heads off and served them for dinner instead, I'd be OK with that. Weird cognitive disconnect, or just the way I was raised...both my parents have farm backgrounds, and my grandmother continued to raise chickens when I was a kid, and it was pretty much drummed into me that even though you're going to eat the animals, you should treat them well while they're alive.

Conservative Gheys.
Several years back I got a gay co-worker to vote Conservative after a couple years of convincing. He wouldn't admit it, but I'm fairly certain about 50% of his rationale was that Stephen Harper wore Armani suits, while the other party leaders always looked a bit rumpled....you know, the 'working man' look.
The other 50% was libertarian appeals.

Their idea of "bringing science back" is rather akin to a cargo cult's view on production. If you have not read Crichton's "State of Fear" it would be a good read. You seem to have grasped and in all likelihood with more detail than many of us have that AGW is a money making engine.
Crichton adds a nice twist to their goals.

Special agent Beyonce was caught lip-syncing, and the Marine band allegedly was not playing either.
God only knows, and I am not sure why the public is focusing on her performance of her entertainment cover identity's duties when I would be far more interested in knowing what Agent Beyonce briefed the President in on regarding Benghazi while our dead were still smoldering.

I think the one you are referring to was in AL. It started out as a "school shooting". Then turned into a shooting at a school fraternity house. Then later a shooting near the campus. And finally turned up to be an argument and fight by a bunch of blacks at a house a significant distance away that had nothing to do with the college.
Within 2 days the story was completely 180° out from what was originally reported.

Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because you can get boat loads of cash without ever having to actually show any results? And because governments can seemingly give out these subsidies with impunity to grease the palms of supporters (or to shut up potential troublemakers)?
Anyway, tis another busy day today. Just dropping in to say good morning, screw Obammy, and keep warm! High today in southern NH is supposed to be around 10 degrees, not counting wind chill. Here in Central NH I'm sure it'll be colder. Thank goodness for walls and coffee.

The perennial effort to do away with dollar bills and replace it with coins is technologically obsolete now, because card readers, and later, smartphone readers will allow electronic transactions for venders who don't want to mess around with paper dollar bill slots.

"Insurers need to explain this very clearly and precisely to their clients/customers."
That'd be nice, of course, but then HHS Secretary Shecantbeserious will blast them for doing so.
How do I know this?
Because Humana tried that a while back with Medicare:
"The government is investigating a major insurance company for allegedly trying to scare seniors with a mailer warning they could lose important benefits under health care legislation in Congress."

"That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God. That's what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared."
Obama falls into the trap. Captain James T Kirk frames the question right in "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" (1989), ... "What does God need with a starship?"
Why does God need us to do anything ? God is God, the omnipotent.
Every time I head something like that uttered by Obama, I think of the Crusaders and the Jihadists, the holy warriors, who tell us they are going it for God. No, they are not. They are doing it for themselves. God just doesn't work that way.
