1 Good Morning Morons.  Today is Friday, January 25, 2013.  On this day in 1890 muckraking reporter Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) completed her around the world trip in 72 days.  She was working for the New York World at that time.  And yes her life sounds remarkably like Maggie Dubois (Natalie Wood) from the 1965 movie (The Great Race).  AND there is a LOT out there today so lets get to it.

2 Har Har, another one bites the dust.  After being released from GITMO back to the Saudis this shit for brains went back to the terror trail and he got to eat a missile and has just died.  It would have been much cheaper and safer for the world if Bush had lined every one of these SOBs up and had them shot after that shit-stain of a SCOTUS ruling.  And especially after our weaselshit President was elected.

3 Kerry sounds off on the deficit during the Senate ass licking fest hearing. In Kerry speak that means tax increases.

4 Senate Republicans fold on filibuster deal and get a bag of ju-ju beans in the “compromise”.

In return, the majority party -- Democrats today -- would have to allow two minority amendments on bills, a response to Republican complaints that Democrats often prevent them from offering any amendments at all.


I suppose this means “allow them to vote” on two minority amendments which will be promptly thrown out.  So now we have lost the filibuster and gained not a damn thing.  Fox says it reduces the number of times they may use a filibuster but does not eliminate it.  That is not explained at all. But one thing to look for now, a flood of liberal judges to be appointed by Obama in the coming months.  We are truly screwed, blued, and tattooed.

And this is the headline that The Hill uses:

Liberals irate as Senate passes watered-down filibuster reform

The communists arenÂ’t satisfied with winning, they want to rub our noses in dog shit too.

13 Is this a joke?  Sen Menendez (C-NJ) is being “investigated” because those Dominican prostitutes he had sex with were underage.  I guess he “forgot” that a federal law was passed some years ago that made going to a foreign country and having sex with children is now a federal felony.  (Unconstitutional but there you go)

But never fear, at most he will get a tap on the wrist and the Senate ethics board will give him a pass.  He is protected by Hispanic Democratium, the second strongest shield in the universe.

Unless you leadership guys are going to start calling out the Regulatory Fiat and are saying "start killing agencies that refuse to settle down," you're trying to jedi-mind trick voters into thinking free shit Army should be happy with free shit for business.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, moving to take a lead role in the gun control debate, is turning up the pressure on banks that do business with firearms manufacturers.

Emanuel is sending letters to two major financial institutions, TD Bank and Bank of America, which offer lines of credit to gun makers suggesting that they stop lending money to the manufacturers if they donÂ’t come out for new gun restrictions.

It's high time red-state governors start ignoring D.C. and all of its alphabet bureaus.  Thye've got nothing left to lose.  Jindal needs to stop simpering and start acting.  Remember when the high court said Ogabe was in contempt for not allowing drilling to recommence?  He may not have the ability to force major oil companies to return, but he can hammer it home ad nauseum and on a daily basis that people are suffering because of the JEF.  In other words, act like a democrat.

54 40 Vic,

I went off on a tear last night about the difference between this crowd and Reagan.  Reagan prepared the battlefield for 20 years before getting power.  We need to remake the case for freedom to kids who have been indoctrinated their whole lives to defer to authority being omnipotent.  They are taught that about 3% of the nation can think and don't feel insulted that they ain't really being held as "the thinkers."

Hello again, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.  And thanks for the morning briefing, Gabe and Vic.

 

 

In my book, The DirectorÂ’s Cut (always a great gift, hint, hint), the narrator, Toby Swanson, is a makeup artist to the silent screen star Theda Bara.  The two of them have a very close, nearly romantic relationship, having each other as both friend and confidante.

 

 

I based the character of Toby very loosely on Allan “Whitey” Snyder, Marilyn MonroeÂ’s personal makeup artist.  Whitey met Monroe at her first screen test in 1946 and continued to work with her for the rest of her life.  They were never lovers – Snyder was, in fact, one of the few men Monroe didnÂ’t try to seduce – but they shared a close working relationship and, if any man could be considered a friend of Monroe, it was Snyder.

 

 

Always insecure and morbid when it came to her beauty, Monroe once asked Snyder if – should she die before him – he would do her funeral makeup.  “Only if the bodyÂ’s still warm,” Snyder joked, trying to gloss over the unpleasant subject, but Marilyn pressed him over and over until he finally agreed.  Over the following years, she reminded him of his promise, once sending him a solid gold money clip with Dear Whitey – the bodyÂ’s still warm! engraved on it.

 

 

Of course, Marilyn did die before Whitey.  On August 6, 1962, the day after her body was found, Snyder got a call from Joe DiMaggio.  “Whitey, you promised,” Joe choked.  “You promised.  Can you make her look just like she used to?”

 

 

Snyder made his way to the Westwood Village Mortuary, to find MonroeÂ’s corpse lying on a table.  Gingerly, he stepped forward and took her hand, admitting later that if he hadnÂ’t, he wouldnÂ’t have been able to do the job.  After a few moments, he unpacked his kit and settled down to work.  Beginning with a rouge known as “Twentieth Century base,” Whitey prepared MarilynÂ’s face, remarking later that, once heÂ’d begun work, he settled in to his old routine, and that it was almost as if Marilyn were simply sleeping.

 

 

As he applied the final touch-up, he felt a hand on his shoulder.  It was DiMaggio.  Neither man spoke, and Whitey quickly packed up, leaving his chair to JoltinÂ’ Joe.  The next morning, when the makeup artist returned for a final check, he saw DiMaggio in the same chair, still in the same clothes from the day before, his face haggard and his eyes red.  He had kept vigil at MarilynÂ’s side all night.

 

 

Whitey still had one last duty to perform.  Joe asked him to be a pallbearer, joining hairdresser Sidney Guilaroff as one of the only two Hollywood friends DiMaggio allowed to escort Marilyn to her final resting place.

 

 

And thatÂ’s it for today.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

78 This is what I said about the RNC meetup yesterday.

The RNC is meeting in Charlotte to battle out differences between the amnestybots and “Moderates” and the few remaining Republicans who say the problem is message and we need to stick to principles. We need to keep track of this because it is an early indication of the direction they will be going in 2016. I don’t have much hope for the base in this one.

I think one problem Boehner has had in negotiating with Dems has been the lack of support from McConnell on the Senate side.

81 - "Today is the annual March for Life. The media can only minimize our numbers if we let them." Unfortunately some of us actually have to work for our livings and have neither the time, the inclination or the logistical ability to engage in a protest, especially on a work day. Cocoons are not merely for caterpillars. - "Chairman Priebus had things to say about regenerating the GOP brand." That's like saying Dennis Kozlowski or Ken Lay had things to say about corporate governance and management. Preibus & Co. staggeringly were inept, as was the Romney campaign. The myopic focus on Wisconsin. The ORCA fiasco. The advertising dollars fiasco. The horrible internal polling. The complete insouciance to the effect the Obama attack machine was having on the white vote. Boggles the mind. - "Gov. Jindal says the GOP doesn't need to change its values, just 'everything else we are doing.'" Yeah. The GOP also needs a new voter and especially a new primary voter base. One that's not irrational. One that can see past single issues and pet peeves. One that doesn't need a puppet show to understand that most of a loaf of bread is better than starving to death.

82 77 Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at January 25, 2013 07:31 AM (zF6Iw) When I lived in LA, I quite literally stumbled into the the Westwood Memorial Park.

85 78 Vic,

If they grant amnesty without the donks giving up the America hate we're doomed as a party and nation and will lose everything within 20 years.

The newcomers do not give a shit about any of the safeguards for liberty and Barack Obama ain't gonna teach them about a "flawed document."

GOP you're about to finalize my view of you as part of the problem.

86 Reince has obviously been ruined by being in constant contact with the Duke and Duke all stars.

87 If you are a republican, conservative whatever, did you really want Romney to win? Do you really want a republican to be in office at the time of the real collapse? Look, I am miserable at what is happening to my country but I know the only real way back is get this Shit out of our system. Let everyone see the wages of obama fascist/socialism, then reverse course. But that being said we (and I don't care if you are r d or libertarian) must fight for the 2a. No compromise, no retreat. Molon labe type stuff.

It is precisely that hubris that will let Barry start destroying the nation.

I can't honestly say we're better off than Canada anymore, or that our economy is healthier than China's.

Anyway I'll shut up about it now.

China's economy is smoke and mirrors.  The average Chinese person lives in shittier conditions than our 'poor'.  They are going to collapse in a gigantic way, and then people will pretend they all saw it coming.

As for Canada, they have zero gun rights in Canada and no free speech guarantees whatsoever.  Their 'conservatives' are still left of the GOP.  Their taxes are higher. 

What is killing our nation is the pervasive cynicism - the belief that nothing can be changed, so let's just give up.

The tipping point was LBJ in the 60s

103 And more from the incisive, deep. political thinking of a liberal: Republicans better wake up, out of touch and out of date. We shall see if they change by Guns, God and Gays - and next, consider that Caucasians will be a minority in this country by 2024. They then posted an article that barely mentioned Guns, Gods and Gays I answered that person (on a political board) that I didn't know what "Republicans" think of guns, gays and God anymore than I know what "Democrats" all think of them being as I'm a registered Democrat who has voted Republican since 2008. All I know is that a mention of God was in the republican platform not in the Democrat one. I'm also not troubled by Caucasians being a minority by 2024. That person who is some shade of white evidently is. i don't judge people on their skin color. It's the old bigoted, homophobic race card again.

104 Oh I just love the minority Docs, Especially the Indian ones. I always tell them I have a line into a new online dating service for Hot Indian chicks. They all seem very interested (even the married ones...assholes) until I tell them the name...... "Connect the dots!" Bwah, hah, hah, hah, hah. I don't care who you are, you have to admit that was funny.

105 96 Miss Marple,

Yup, this ain't a game.  The Donks "won" because they convinced themselves it was and victory at all costs is a good baseline operating procedure.  Reince and the GOP leadership's unwillingness to ponder new games tells me that Freedom is probably dead.

The GOP is 100% focused on playing the hopscotch to power DC game rather than serving the states that sent them there.  They do not understand that in every GOP heavy state I have ever lived in the reason they are sent to DC is to protect the business community of the state from DC.

Since they don't even understand what the fuck we think their job is, they are just democrats speaking freedom now.

The result of "reimagining" will be Red rage, and a new rent-seeking GOP.

I hope Perry tells DC to fuck off and lovers of freedom come home to texas, it will force the matter.

The GOP would still be negotiating with the King.

106 Preibus & Co. staggeringly were inept, as was the Romney campaign



Yes they were but I don't know how much it mattered.  We always knew Romney would be a hard sell in the general election; look how everybody tried to latch on to an anybody-but-Willard candidate in the primaries including that dumbass Perry shitting all over his future higher aspirations by being a fucking dunce in the debates.  People just don't like Romney for whatever reason.  Is it fair that he lost to the borderline retarded Indonesian?  Fuck no; he was obviously the better choice.  But life's not fair and we're good and truly fucked because of Willard's ambition to do what his father couldn't do.

107 "Priebus...need to abandon the concept of battleground states and look to compete in every state and every region..." I think he's right. Sucks for us that Howard Dean figured this out before him. Dean--a muttonhead, to be sure--was the DNC chair who dragged his party into the "all 50 states" model, and they haven't looked back since Obama's team enacted the approach. Prior Dem campaigns probably wouldn't have even bothered pursuing states like VA and IN.

What you'll be paying for next:

Washington, D.C.'s Metro mass-transit system on Thursday proposed a $26 billion expansion through 2040 to help drive economic growth in the U.S. capital and its suburbs. The proposal presented to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's board includes a second tunnel under the Potomac River and a new rail tunnel in the center of the District of Columbia.

The new plan does not outline how to fund the upgrade. The proposal comes as federal spending on mass transit reaches $10.6 billion this year, almost double the 2000 figure, according to data from American Public Transportation Association.

That's not just "it's said," it's the truth.  Marilyn - who, as I said, had a deep morbid streak - asked Joe if he would do that if she died before him, and he agreed.

Amen to that.  I didn't even particularly like Nixon but realized he was getting a royal fuckjob.

127 Hey,  Captain Hate,  I have figured out why people didn't like Romney.  It's the same reason they didn't like Bob Dole.

Your average voter,  whether Homer Simpson or Marge,  looks at both men as measures by which they are found wanting.  With Dole it was his service to his country and war injury (mocked by the left,  of course).  With Romney it was his financial success and solid family.

People are not fond of being reminded that they are failures, or even mediocre..  One reason Bush was popular for so long was because he instinctively knew this.  This is why he often mocked himself concerning his grades,  or his speech patterns, or his taste in movies or music. 

America wants someone as a leader who can do the job while at the same time doesn't want to feel like the leader is superior to them.  It's a weird way of thinking but very American.

Obama has done a reverse of this.  He TELLS people they are failures but holds out the carrot that says "It's not your fault.  It's those evil rich people/religious/GOP types who are keeping you down."  Voters think,  "At last,  someone who knows how things really are!"

That 47% Romney talked about are still there.   The trick wil be to get a candidate who doesn't inspire the same level of dislike among that group.

As far as Perry,  all he needs to say is that he screwed up in the debates and will be ready next time.  And then BE ready.  Also,  we need debates hosted by our people and not the media.

130 Yeah the media basically decided to throw a tantrum against Nixon b/c he was ratfucking the activists at their own game.

I just....about 65% of the GOP's current problems and indeed America's structural failures are being caused by Nixon's EPA and sops to try to calm the hippies.

131

The Romney campaign did not effectively use King Putt's own words against him.  One ad, one stinking ad, that I fully expected which could have been a game changer would have been a screen with employment figures and the trillion dollar "stimulus" followed by a video of King Putt saying that "...jobs were not as shovel ready as we thought."

Re: The Senater Republicans fold on the fillibuster:

In return, the majority party — Democrats today — would have to allow two minority amendments on bills,

The changes were broken into two pieces and approved by votes of 78-16 and 86-9. In both roll calls, Republican opponents were joined by Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who usually sides with Democrats. Many of the GOP "no" votes came from tea party-backed senators like Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; and Marco Rubio, R-Fla.




As was pointed out yesterday somewhere, the two amendments will almost certainly be from the minority leader and committee ranking member, so the few conservatives in the Senate are about to get frozen out.

Bipartisanship!

138 Also, on the Jindal thing: I heard part of the speech as a sound-bite today.  I think (based on what little I heard) he's right.

He's not saying we have to "stop being the party" of big whatever- he says we already aren't, and we have to get that message out.

And he's right.

139 131 Ammo Dump,

That's because at their core the GOP is not interested in playing the game we send them up there to play and they play the normal DC lobbyist shuffle games.

I fought the notion of purging the party's old timers but I think it's time to let the GOP know who they are without conservatives at all.

140 Miss Marple, I agree with what you said, and the JEF certainly based his campaign on a lot of what you're saying, but there was still something about Romney that we here didn't like.  He was lacking a certain X factor to feel confident about him being President that I was worried about, even though I think he's a good man and has been a good executive all his life.  It's all a moot point now though.

154 :::As for Canada, they have zero gun rights in Canada and no free speech guarantees whatsoever. Their 'conservatives' are still left of the GOP. Their taxes are higher. :::: That is a gross oversimplification. Canadians have more gun rights than residents of NYC, Chicago or San Francisco, for example. You can buy handguns, shotguns, rifles, even Scary Black Rifles. You're not getting more than a 5-round detachable magazine, though. There is no concealed carry allowed. On the other hand, national long gun registry was tried and the gun owning citizens refused to comply. Now it's gone. Guess what Dianne Feinstein just introduced in the Senate? As far as the restrictions on free speech, there has been tremendous pushback against the abuses of these so-called Human Rights Commissions, which operate at the provincial level. Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant have won some HUGE battles in breaking their influence, and the trend is towards MORE free speech, not less. You can't make the mistake of thinking of Canadians like leftist Americans. They were never Americans. Their history and societal development followed a completely different track. Yes, taxes are higher here. For now. And yet, even with all the entitlement spending Canada does, they're not saddled with a soul-crushing 16 trillion dollar debt. Balanced budgets are achievable here. And the average Canadian's earnings now handily outstrip the average Americans, even with the higher taxes. On top of that, the US dollar has lost 10% of its value vs the loonie in just the last two years. I love America. But it's got severe structural problems that will take generations to recover from. I'm no longer willing to reflexively assume that just because I'm American, every one else has it worse. They don't, necessarily.

This is why a lot of people just couldn't connect with him.

I once said that on paper,  he looks like the best candidate ever.  He's a fine man who would have been a good,  possibly great president.  Alas,  his campaign was just not what it should have been to overcome his handicaps.

Why are you there?  Work?  Personal choice?

I ask because Nova Scotia looks really good to me about now.

Yup, I was thinking that last night when I was going at it with Jordan on women in combat....."hey why hasn't he tossed the handicapped a bone yet?'

I can't wait until he tries to make the military ADA compliant.

I was cashiered for my bilateral hip constantly going pointer, but now thanks to Comrade Soetoro maybe I can sue DoD and get back pay!

Gee 16 years of pay....

170 It sounds like what Jindal and Priebus are saying are in essence that we need our own version of "community organizing".

What would that even look like from a conservative point of view?

171 Piss on Rubio, he has gone over on amnesty.

Posted by: Vic at January 25, 2013 08:09 AM (53z96)

I would like to think he is lying like he did with the gun shit after Sandy Hook. The democrats are praising him but dont like his plan so I dont think we'll see anything big out of Obama on immigration. He's probably trying to garner some capital to use on latinos and he spoke about education when he voted against major loan giveaways last year to probably garner stupid college sheep. Plus he is brown and speaks spanish while giving us Florida automatically

I could be over analyzing but Bush got 40% of Latinos, I dont want them to end up like the black voting block.

172 One of the reasons Democrats were so scared of Allen West was that he was quickly becoming recognized as a (if not: the) face of the Republican Party, and once that happens, their whole "Oh, we're the party of minorities!" bullshit falls apart.

Too bad the quislings in his own party helped sell him out in the bipartisan redistricting which Hollowpoint keeps harping on.  When you have both sides against you, you're pretty effectively checkmated.

173 :::Why are you there? Work? Personal choice?::: Yes. And increasingly, yes. Why would you want to move to Nova Scotia? Are you so pissed off at trees that you never want to see one again?

When Mitt gave his concession speech and choked up while he said, "Wouldn't Ann have made a great First Lady?" I bawled like a baby. Then again, I've been crying for the last 6 years/the beginning of the Never-Ending-Campaign.

Posted by: AllenG (Dedicated Tenther) Channelling Breitbart at January 25, 2013 08:14 AM (8y9MW)

Yep.  But don't you worry, we'll screw it up with 33 primary candidates, all of whom whistle "Hail to the Chief" to themselves every morning in the mirror.

Because when there's a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, the Republican party will find it.

180 I've got an XD9, so I'm thinking small of the back, but I'd love the Horde's opinions.

Full-sized?  I had one of those before a freak flood washed it away, and it was something that I thought would be tough to carry concealed (basically the size alone would make it rough). 

Though it *is* nice that the XD9 comes with a 16 round magazine, standard.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes...you know, just because it's interesting...

181 Rubio sucked as much cock on the Benghazi hearings as the other Repukes.  Fuck him.

182 Oh and whenever liberals shriek and wail about the awful awful things that Republicans are doing in Virginia to allocate electors by congressional district, I always remind them that according to the "OBAMACARE IS A REPUBLICAN IDEA" rule that they have beat us over the head with for the past 4 years, whichever party first comes up with an idea, that party is forevermore beholden to support and defend that idea for the rest of time, changing of one's mind is not permitted, and if one does change one's mind, it is only for craven, nakedly partisan reasons, not good faith reasons.

So since the idea for allocating electors by congressional district was first started by DEMOCRATS in Maine in the late 60's, they have no room to complain.

183 Too bad the quislings in his own party helped sell him out in the bipartisan redistricting which Hollowpoint keeps harping on. When you have both sides against you, you're pretty effectively checkmated.

That's true.

And it's quite clear that the Moderate Republicans enjoy being a minority party, but no longer want the hard work of being an opposition party.

I just wish Libertarians weren't so crazy.

184 151 EoJ,

Yup, a part of me wonders if my destiny is not shoving illegal immigration back in the international left's face.

My Canadian friends love to pretend we have a duty to take in Juan.  Well maybe Canada has a duty to take in hard working Americans trapped by their nation's corruption.  The problems in this world are not resource based no matter how much the Malthusians wank to it, they are inflicted by zero sum thinkers.

Canada is blessed with an amazing resource to citizen ratio, and may wind up being the last gasp of Anglic nationhood.

185 @ Vic, Double piss on Rubio. My wife and daughter are Chinese. We had to jump through hoops of flaming fire to get them in. Fingerprints, birth certificates (real ones..the gummit don't accept no photoshpped Obama bullshit). Police dept docs, tp prove they were not criminals. Basically a proctology exam from the gummit. Letting these illegals in, is a slap in the face to everyone who did it the right way! Did I mention, I had to sign a doc, to guarantee support so they did not slide onto welfare? Where are the same hurdles they make US citizens jump thru, for the current crop of illegals? BTW lets not ignore the last amnesty's. Abd rthe libtards always say its going to be the last one. The death of a thousand cuts the Bean says!

186 Full-sized? I had one of those before a freak flood washed it away, and it was something that I thought would be tough to carry concealed (basically the size alone would make it rough).

I'm not huge, but I'm big enough that I think it will work.

And, if it doesn't, that's just an excuse to go buy another handgun.

It sorta grows on you.

I like the scenery of Quebec, but I would never live there.  The entire population is even more retarded that the country from which they came - and that takes some serious effort to make that happen.

188 I really dont want the party to nominate Perry or Rand. I'd vote for them but I'd think they'd be terrible campaigners. And they would be stupidly honest like Romney and not lie when they need to.

189 17 Carolyn McCarthy (C-NY) doesnÂ’t think much of femaleÂ’s ability to use a gun. She also is incredibly stupid with regard to weapons.

Carolyn is one trick pony. She was elected on the sympathy vote after her husband was killed and son was injured were on the Long Island Railroad by a schizophrenic.

Canadian corporate tax rate is now sitting at 25%  as well  I believe (federal  and  provincial  combined)

 

191 Vic, why do you think it would be unconstitutional to allocate electors by congressional district?

Posted by: chemjeff at January 25, 2013 08:12 AM (BBWjt)

I went back and looked at that.  The "by district" one wasn't the one I was opposed to.  The one I was opposed to was the one that Democrats were pushing in CA.  That one was that all electors were obligated to vote for the winner of the "popular vote"

So everyone take note:

I withdraw that comment.

192 Why would you want to move to Nova Scotia? Are you so pissed off at trees that you never want to see one again?

No trees doesn't bother me.  I'm from Texas and spend a fair amount of time in west Texas (as opposed to West, Texas, which is in the east).  Trees largely happen to other people.

What would bother me about Canada (any part thereof) is the weather.  I think the weather is like a grade: anything less than 70 is failing.

193 Okay Vic, thanks

196 #181  While I wouldn't have put it so bluntly, I do share your opinion.  The two guys who did pretty well were Ron Johnson (she had to use her dramatic presentation to escape his question about the survivors) and Rand Paul.

I a not choosing a candidate to back for 2016.  I have to say,  I am to the point that I don't expect to win,  so therefore I am looking at those who will flat-out insult them to their faces.  Get up there in a debate and just call them frauds and crooks.   Ask them why they give more sympathy to jihadists than to middle class Americans. Ask Cuomo when he's gonna make an honest woman out of Sandra Lee and marry her.  Tell Hillary she couldn't manage the State department so how could she manage the entire government.

I don't suppose anyone will ask my advice,  but really, I am tired of being nice.

I was thinking about the apparent ConBlog re-awakening to the fact that the media is the enemy as brought up, I guess, first by Insty then others then here, and I think its all wrong-headed.

 

Insty thinks we need to find some billionaires to buy a channel or program or whatever and thats just stoopit. Its one of line of things that Insty sometimes comes up with that really do no good. He's great at spotting trends, not so hot at solutions.

 

Look, a rule of thumb in life as well as marketing and everything else is that its easier to destroy than create. Conservatives in general reach for creating something because they are producers and because they look down on the destructive capacities of the left in general. But reality is reality, so use it.

 

You can destroy the credibility of media in the same fashion as the left does with anything that isn't their preferred outlet, but we are often too respectful of differences and respectful of time and place to do so. Anytime somebody brings up, say, Chris Matthews reply that you don't watch trash TV. Go on a rant about how lower class he is. How he appeals to the lowest common denominator. Compare how he drools to that of a retard wearing a helmet and infer that he adopted that trait to appeal to his audience. Smirk, laugh, sneer, roll your eyes, the lot. Say it loud and proud. Then ask what they wanted to say.

 

Buying a station is a creative enterprise. So is designing a website and gaining cred for that site to be able to pick on a media target. You're not going to get there in time, friends.

 

Anyway, big meeting to go to. Sorry I won't be able to respond to anything.

Well the fact is Americans don't want to compete anymore they want their cake and a fork.

And think how many parents of mentally and/or physically disabled kids (myself included) want to believe their child can be just like the rest if them?

That was well expressed.  We are going to (unfortunately in some cases) have to sink to their level temporarily (at least) to start pushing back.  No more being nice.  No more trying to "understand" these people.  They're not our friends, or fellow countrymen anymore.  They need to be destroyed.  Start with professionally.  Do to them, what they would do to you (remember the stuckonstupid saga?  He was the one left standing after all that, not the retarded lefties), and do it first.

And Bigby's...lol.  As someone that is a huge nerd and played AD&D for many a year, I love the name.

221 My thoughts on Rubio:

He's a "rock star" only within conservative circles.
Cubans and mexicans do not like each other much, and he won't pull in the Latino vote. the way people think.
I am not sure he would guarantee Florida.
He has been a legislator all of his career, not an executive or run a business.
I think he looks soft.

So my attitude about him is "Meh."

225 Posted by: Empire of Jeff at January 25, 2013 08:10 AM (JDIKC) Canada is like Massachusetts without concealed carry. And the fact that they are pushing back against free speech abuse now does not mean you will have it in twenty years. America at least has a written Rubicon. Plus, if America does go belly-up, Canada is going to take a nosedive as well. 84% of what it produces goes here. Plus, like most other European nations, our defense spending allows them to spend more on entitlements. When the money stops pouring in, they're in the same boat - big entitlements and not enough cash to pay for it.

226 And think how many parents of mentally and/or physically disabled kids (myself included) want to believe their child can be just like the rest if them?

I think that's the hard part of having a special needs kid - the realization that she's never going to get to do the things other parts take for granted.

But being the parent means you make the hard call, and that means walking a daily line between letting them develop to their full potential...while not letting your own preferences blind you to physical risk.

250 If smoking were still allowed in the Capitol, one could easily imagine her removing a cigarette from a gold case and tapping it nonchalantly on the witness table, and the entire Democratic caucus leaping over their desks for the chance to light it for her.

251 Oh and EoJ - I know you owned a small business, here's a fun fact- In Canada if someone has a kid, they get up to a year of time off. Either parent, with the year split between them. The government will pay 60% of their salary, but you will need to hold their job for them while they are out. The company I work for has a Canadian branch. This is a real project nuker. Plus they have a much more European view on vacation and working.

252 What is killing our nation is the pervasive cynicism - the belief that nothing can be changed, so let's just give up.

This.   Too   many   want  to  surrender  all  or  part  of  our  country  to  the  fascists.  You'll  never  get  an  Article  V  convention  and  if  by  chance  you  did,  the  fascists  would  pervert  or  ignore  the  product  of  a  convention  just  as  they  ignore  the  Constitution  now. 

 

There's  nowhere  run,  the  DOOM  will  circle  the  globe  and  destroy  everything,  so  it's  fight  or  surrender  and  for  me  I  chose  to  fight.  I  swore  an  oath   and  I  will  fulfill  it  or  die  trying. 

253 Not going to vote for another squish.

Besides Perry is back in good health, so maybe he'll do better this time. Pain meds made him seem drunk half the time.

Quit playing, you will vote for one again and will always. You voted for Romney, there is nothing lower you wont vote for. I dont see how Perry is a conservative bastion now.

254 :::And the fact that they are pushing back against free speech abuse now does not mean you will have it in twenty years. America at least has a written Rubicon. ::: Oh, really? How hard was that to cross in Kelo v. New London? Or in the Obamacare ruling, where you can now be taxed for breathing? As far as Canada's economy, they're not stupid. They're already shifting towards other markets. Take a look at South America, Brazil in particular. That's where the next economic powerhouse is coming from. Commodity based economies will find a way to survive. That Keystone pipeline? It's going to be built. But it's going to be going west, not south. Place your bets.

255 Heather, shoot me an email. I lost yours.

256 248 Sean Bannion,

Yup.  I was in love with the TOW II-C's design specs.

The S tank was as was pointed out a tank destroyer, but I liked the notion of using reverse slope interlocking fields of fire for kill pockets....

then again "I would" I was a rocket boy.

Alright, whatever you say. In 4 years you'll say the same thing you did to justify your Romney vote.. But I'm sure this time it's different right?

259 252 Larsen E Whipsnide,

I swore an oath as well and my oath was to the founding not the flag, not the soil, and most assuredly not a man.  The Revolution can only be defended if we concentrate people of a like mind and show it works.  You want to know what "save it all" looks like?

It looks like New York state and California.

260 #247  That "myth" comes from the Mexicans who work with my son.  Not saying it's rational,  but there is a definite low-grade animosity.

261 Alright, whatever you say. In 4 years you'll say the same thing you did to justify your Romney vote.. But I'm sure this time it's different right? Posted by: Flapjackmaka at January 25, 2013 08:51 AM (9e+9n) It's a nice bet to make since you're not actually going to follow up in 4 years. FWIW it's the first time I've ever said this. I was in ABO camp, luckily I don't have to do that again.

262 I know all about the Labor Ministry regs on maternity leave - our company is mostly women. It's still an at-will arrangement, which is more than I can say for some states. And like I said, massive entitlement spending here, yet no crushing debt. America already has an insurmountable debt, and the real spending hasn't even kicked in yet! The crash will indeed hurt everyone. But nowhere as bad as at home.

263 can someone remind me what tough questions rubio asked of hillary regarding benghazi?

264 From a teacher in the Nashville area - -

"We are worried about 'the cow' when it is all about the 'Ice Cream. 'The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching 3rd grade. The last Presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids.

I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother. The day arrived when they were to make their speeches.

Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best.

Everyone applauded and he sat down. Now is was Olivia's turn to speak. Her speech was concise.

She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down.

The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely would say more. She did not have to. A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. But no one pursued that question. They took her at her word. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it...She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream...

Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide. Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 51.4 % of the people reacted like nine year old's.

They want ice cream. The other 48.6% percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."

THAT MY FRIEND, IS HOW OBAMA GOT ELECTED... BY THOSE WHO WANT EVERYTHING FOR FREE!

265 That "myth" comes from the Mexicans who work with my son. Not saying it's rational, but there is a definite low-grade animosity.

Then I dismiss your second-degree anecdote with mine. And yours isn't even a first hand one. I have never heard about this Mexican/Cuban crap.

He was very well received in the news when he came to New Mexico for the senate race last year. Great local coverage.

266 Oh, really? How hard was that to cross in Kelo v. New London? Or in the Obamacare ruling, where you can now be taxed for breathing? Let's bear in mind Canada has a full single-payer system right now. And Brazil's GDP is a tenth of ours and doesn't border Canada. America and Canada have advantages in trading with each other - I know in our experience we have far less market penetration overseas than in Canada. They can surely 'survive', but I suspect they will need to make hard choices about entitlement spending to do so.

267 I was in ABO camp, luckily I don't have to do that again.

Dont worry, once the next big threat comes you'll run to the ballots. You'll give an excuse that you're anybody but Biden, Hillary or Cuomo

Pre-surrender  wins  nothing  and  the  idea  that  the  fascists  will  leave  you  alone  if  you  feed  them  someone  else  is  absurd.  Chamberlain  proved  the  folly  of  that  idea. 

 

You  will  fulfill  your  oath  to  the  Constitution  by  fighting  for  the  whole  country  or  you  can  surrender  all  of  it  to  the  traitors.  It's  the  only  choice  the  fascists  will  give  you.    

270 269 Larsen Whipsnide,

Nope.  You cannot force the cities to be sane.  For fuck's sakes Detroit voted Ogabe.

You divorce, and if they try to "force you home" you kill them.

271 Microsoft must have missed that memo about the death of the PC. No, they got the memo. If you disagree, then please to be explaining Windows 8's everything is a tablet or phone metaphor? And don't say it has a desktop interface: it does, but they're redoing the whole metaphor and I still don't see any upside to it. Other than the Windows App store.

272 That headline on electronic medical records. I went to a clinic in October about flu and bronchitis, and yeah, the text in the chart I received was all copied and pasted from a template of sample sentences. Nurse spent most of our time together clicking, dragging, typing.

273 need on school buses these days is shackles and mouth gags.

Sounds like a plan.

274 One of the firearms on feinsteins ban list is the Hi Point carbine. This inexpensive but very reliable carbine was designed specifically to comply with the first AWB. I have seen these propped up in the corner of a few country stores in west NY state, giving the store owner a means of defense without going through the hoops of NY draconian handgun laws. Of course, NY passed the 7 round limit and these hold a devastating nobody needs it 10 rounds. Hint to NY owners: load 7 in the magazine, ascertain where the bottom of the follower is, and place a dimple with a punch on both sides of the mag. Or, just fuckem.

275

As far as Perry, all he needs to say is that he screwed up in the debates and will be ready next time. And then BE ready.

 

Yessirree, Bob!  I've got that rehash of "You must be heartless if you don't welcome illegals into this country" ready for 2016.  Let's ride!
