— Gabriel Malor Happy Tuesday.
In Election 2014 news, Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor trails his GOP challenger Tom Cotton by 7 points. Obamacare gets a lot of the credit.
Rep. Steve Stockman surprised everyone yesterday with a surprise decision to challenge Sen. John Cornyn in the GOP primary. Stockman announced his candidacy in World Net Daily. He has $36,000 in the bank.
The NY Post editorial board responded to that NYTimes homelessness piece that got medium-sized buzz yesterday to call it hooey. A taste: "If the city is at fault here, it might well be for having been too generous — providing so much that neither the father nor mother seems much inclined to provide for their kids."

I think that as long as Barky McFukstick is in office, there will be a degree of uncertainty nationwide as to what happens next.
And human nature says that if you don't have enough info to make a plan, just sit tight till you do.
He IMHO, is the largest factor in the slow/ non-existent economic recovery of our nation.
Of course, not being a deep thinker, I could be wrong.

If Pryor is falling it serves him right- "Patriotism, religion, and scoundrels" all fit together.
Gee, "the homeless" got a mention? Duh!1 must be flailing and failing, too. Normally they only get brought up when an "R" is in office. Funny, when you subsidize a thing? You get more of it....

Cornyn had the good sense to vote against the chinless shitstain that the Iranian Rodent put in place as Attorney General but other than that bit of wisdom he's pretty much RINO mania. Plus he's been an abject failure as far as coordinating the party of stoopid's last two attempts to capture the Senate.

I had to laugh when I saw Gabe's link to that NY Post. Made me remember this big "story" on the front page of the Houston Barnicle from back in the late 1980s. Basically same sort of thing as the NY Slimes did here. Poor, put upon Hispanic (naturally) family living in a homeless shelter because Daddy could not find work. Such a tear jerker, as you would not believe. But as usual, the devil was in the details...
Seems they had been living in Massachusetts, where Daddy had a job in construction. And at that time there was a big construction boom going on up there so work was plentiful (I knew this because a friend of mine, who was also a construction worker, had also moved up there for this reason.) But then Mamacita tells Daddy "I wanna move back to Houston so I can be close to my mommy". So like a good pussy-whipped hubby he quits his job, packs up Mommacita and their two kids and moves back to Houston.
Only problem was that he could not find work. The Texas economy was still in a big slump then and there were no construction jobs to be had for love nor money. But hey, wifey was close to her mommy, although that apparently did not extend to putting her, her idiot husband and their two kids up since they could not find jobs down here. So this poor, put upon family ends up in a homeless shelter, and their little sob story splashed all over the front page of Houston's leading leftist rag.
Of course that bit of agitprop...excuse me, socially conscious reporting, failed to ask why the husband didn't have the balls to tell his cupid stunt to STFD and STFU, we are not going anywhere because there is no work to be had in Texas, whereas there is work here, not to mention a roof over our heads and food on the table. But no, the Barnicle kind of...skimmed over that part, just as the NY Slimes did in theirs.
Ah, the American Democrat Ministry of Propaganda...oops, new media. Gotta love 'em...

Morning, all. Well, I went to bed early, so I didn't get the chance to really work on my Marilyn Monroe story. So please bear with any less than felicitous phrasing. . .
In brief, it concerns the iconic subway grate scene in The Seven Year Itch. Originally, it had been planned to shoot in front of New York's Trans-Lux theater, but despite strict secrecy, mobs of people showed up to cheer the star on. Hoping to keep the crowd under control, director Billy Wilder made a deal - let them shoot the scene first. Then, the professional photographers would take their shots. Then any amateurs could step forward and take as many photos as they wished.
Monroe was worried about the powerful arc lights used to illuminate the scene, and she was right to - they turned her panties transparent, leaving nothing to the imagination. So she put on a second pair, which appeared to solve the problem. But it didn't; unknown to Monroe, if she stood at a certain angle to the arcs, both pairs turned transparent.
As it turned out, Wilder ended up trashing the footage he shot in New York because of excessive crowd noise that couldn't be masked, and the scene was reshot on the Twentieth Century-Fox lot, with crew members fighting each other for the job of standing beneath the grate looking up Monroe's dress in order to send a puff of air skyward.
Joe DiMaggio was present at the NY shot, brought there by columnist Walter Winchell, who wanted an exclusive. Jealous beyond measure at Monroe's antics and the cheering crowd, he beat her so badly when they returned to their hotel room that Marilyn decided then and there to divorce him.
Now, how do you know which is the "two-panty" shot and which isn't? A rule of thumb is this - if the shot shows only Monroe, it's likely to be NY (note the two pair very visible in this picture):
If the shot shows both Monroe and co-star Tom Ewell, it's likely to be the studio shot (note the row of lights above the two):
Oh, one last thing - that footage shot in New York, where Marilyn's satiny depths were exposed to the camera? All film shot was returned to the studio vaults, but someone with access managed to steal that particular bit. At last report, it's still in private hands.
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Unfortunately, they cheered him like he'd just scored the winning touchdown in the Superbowl. Presumably because of the color of his skin. This brought out the community organizer/tin pot dictator in him. You could see how much he reveled in the applause just by how often he lifted his chin up, Mussolini style. The man -- and I use that term lightly -- would be comfortable running Venezuela right about now. And he wouldn't change a damn thing.

Good.
the perpetual first child was there with Slick and Cankles. Does she ever go anywhere with her "husband" or is that as big of a sham as her parents' "marriage"?
Not particularly unusual for the hereditary aristocracy to arrange politically-expedient marriages for their children, whether they're interested in the other party or not. Alas, someone's not doing their duty to provide an heir.

There is a little bit more to the story. The cops asked the guy for his ID and he refused and ran back inside the house. So legally they had every right to follow him into the house.
However, they had no right to beat everyone in the house and stomp a parakeet to death.

Get one of those plastic things so that you can cook bacon in the microwave while you are frying your eggs on the stove. Starting the day with bacon and eggs gives you something to look forward to and makes waking up in the dark almost worth it. Also, cook your eggs with a bit of butter. It makes more of a difference than you would think.

I thought SC was the only place that did that. I had never seen it before I moved here. At home the thing was to draw a bunch of water because if it got down much below freezing the pipes would freeze even with a trickle left coming out of the facets.
Note: When I was a kid most houses did not have and enclosed foundation so air swept freely under the house. But it made a good place to play with green army men and cars in the dirt when it was raining.

And typically, one could show up at the window with the interior of the car engulfed in flame, a dead deer stuck half way thru the windshield, and wearing a clown nose, and the window attendant would be oblivious to it.

Here's my story. Sorry if it's repetitive and boring but I don't know where else to tell it. I feel like I'm going to go crazy.
I have chronic migraines and take generics & name brand drugs. I had purchased a plan years ago even with pre-existing condition under "guaranteed issue" law passed in the 90s that prohibited carriers from denying coverage if you maintained coverage without a substantial break. The plan was canceled due to the ACA.
Yesterday I was able to go on the Blue Cross site and get some more info. Under Obamacare, none of the generics I take are even covered under the basic plan. All of the generics are considered Tier 2 or Tier 3 drugs - meaning that in order to get them covered, I have to buy a higher level Gold Plan to even get them covered. The name brand drugs I take are Tier 4. These are either not covered at all (depending upon which plan I take) or are covered only at 40 or 50%.
I was also able to see what hospitals & doctors I can see. In order to see my migraine specialist, I need a Tier 2 plan. The only hospital I can use under Tier 1 is the local death trap, there are no additional local hospitals of note in Tier 2 and all the decent local hospitals, specialty hospitals and oddly a lot of death traps) in Tier 3. (And those with young children who choose a Tier 1 plan will not be happy to discover that none of the Childrens' Hospitals are included under Tier 1).
I was previously paying $565 a month for my coverage with approximately $125 in co-pay for a total of $690 a month. As far as I can now figure it. in order to get an equivalent plan that will allow me to see the same doctors, get the same medication and go to the local hospital of my choice, I will pay a total of approximately $1330.
I just can't do it. I'm in my 50s (but of course look like I'm 29) so I could have a serious medical problem. My appendix burst 8 years ago and I was in ICU for 9 days so shit happens. I've never been without medical insurance in my life. The $700 I was paying a month was a lot for us - the only healthcare I use is my migraine doctor and the medication but I worry that something will happen. I just don't know what to do. The cheapest plans Obamacare offers cost $497 a month with a $6,000 deductible but they don't cover ANY of my medications.
I haven't slept for almost 2 months. I cry all the time now, my husband is sick with worry. My elderly mother will be lucky to live through this. I'm not speaking with my Obamabot sister and the rest of my Obamabot family is due to arrive for Christmas and although I love them, I dread seeing them and can't bear to purchase a single gift for any of them. I know I'm trapped inside my own thinking, I just don't know what to do.

The snow - it is a-fallin', and it is beautiful. That means I shall be a-shovelin' later today. Sigh.
I'm hoping I won't have to. The snow seems to be hitting Boston and the Cape hardest; up here, we've got a dusting to an inch predicted. If it's that little, I'm not going to bother, but just toss buckets of salt down. I hate winter and snow and want as little of it as I can manage.

I tuned out of popular "culture" about the time Madonna surfaced. Seriously. Haven't gone to a movie since 1984. TV has been gone 3 1/2 years. The only thing I miss about that is the sound and the "moving wallpaper" effect. The magazines I see in checkout lines are utter garbage. About garbage people. Not interested in any of it. Why trash my own mind?

It is at times like this that a doting hubby would come in useful.
It's not a doting hubby, chique, but. . .
Have you ever heard of the writer Jack Finney? His best known novel was Time And Again, and he specialized in 'time travel' stories, where an artifact or a mysterious ticket booth or just strength of will propelled someone back in time to the Victorian era, almost always having a happy ending.
Many years ago - in a horror collection, for some bizarre reason - I came across his story The Love Letter. It made a very deep impression on me when I was a boy, and in some ways I think it has influenced my whole life, in both a good and bad way.
Get a hot cup of tea and read. It won't take long:

@ jeannebodine
I am so sorry for you. I don't know what's happening to us, since Mrs P handles all our finances and coverages. I don't know if her employer will drop her (I suspect not, since she hasn't mentioned it), and I expect my coverage won't change too much, though I really don't know.
I'm more worried about her, since she had open-heart surgery about 3 years ago and needs her drugs to stay alive. I'm on a statin for cholesterol and on anti-depressants. The statin I don't care about - I've always figured I'm one drink away from a heart attack anyway - but without the anti-depressants, I'll be utterly lost.
I don't know what to say about your O-bot relatives. Were it me, I'd go thorugh just what you've told us and tell them to their faces that this is all their fault and you never want to speak to them again. But if they're like the O-bots I know, they'll either ignore you, say you're too stupid to know you're better off or blame it on the GOP.
I'm not a believer, but if there is a God, may He damn TFG and all his demonic servants to eternity.

The only Coen film I like is Millers Crossing which is a classic. Beautifully filmed, wonderfully scored, and highly memorable dialogue.
"He's an artist with a Thompson."

The entire scene with the Irish mob boss shooting up the guys sent to kill him -- while Danny Boy plays in the background -- is awesome.

9 Another Obamanite illegal BS "deal". The money extorted from J.P. Morgan by the corrupt Holder DOJ will be used, in part, to fund community organizers and Obama supporters.
====================================
Remember the good old days, back when the Executive branch had to ask Congress for the power to spend federal money?
In those days the corrupt cronies of the party in power had to at least wait until they could pull off an earmark. Now, the President just writes the check I guess.
The TFD's (Democrats) will rue the day they so thoroughly submarined the Constitutional seperation of powers. The next Republican to occupy the office will have learned from Democrats how wide Presidential "discretionary enforcement" of the laws can be.

All the testosterone in 35mm you can stand.
The Wild Geese. Richard Harris, Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Ruger Hauer. All they needed was Sean Connery. . .

Excellent and under appreciated movie.
Have you seen "In Bruges?"

I assume you mean for an Apple product? Works great with my MacBook. Don't buy the connector from Apple, they gouge you something fierce. Buy a knockoff on ebay; works just as well, much cheaper.

The only car loans that will be effected by this are the ones from the banks which the feds can blackmail using bank regulations. Outfits specializing in car loans are not subject to federal regulations. The ones with balls will say f..k him.

That is quite a statement. Dan Patrick is to Texas political buffoons what Tiger Woods was to professional golf in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

As for your family, you have my deepest sympathies. I'm now at a point where I have such disdain for any fool who supports this traitorous man, or who voted for him. Friends and family included. Maybe that's the wrong way to go about it, but the destruction and misery he has caused are real. And I blame them.

We were raised Catholic and after high school, my sister married a Quaker and decided she hated religion of any kind. She raised her kids to believe religion and belief in G-d is the most serious evil in the world, that the world would be a better place if we burnt down all the churches in the world.
And yet she is the most progressive Obama zealot I've ever seen. Nothing could shake her belief, never a single moment of doubt and anyone that speaks against her savior must be an evil heretic, even her own mother and sister.

Yes,I forgot about that unconstitutional POS. But, there isn't much in there they can blackmail with.

What makes you think that they are basing this on the law?
It's extortion, and a political posture to bolster support in the minority community.

As Mark Levin points out, we are in a post Constitutional time. And the "opposition party" is led by such pusillanimous dickholes that there's not the slightest thought of any type of pushback against this power grab.

We've hardly had contact with him for a year or more. We hardly know the girl.
The wimmens finally got to meet her kin at the bridal shower. Reportedly solid good ok' folk stock, so, there's a hopeful sign.
Nothing but God or SMOD can stop it now, so, I ask for the prayers of the world's foremost militaryish locker room, for strengthening of the true Spirit of Family, immediate and extended.
And to that purpose, i just feel like saying, Merry Christmas. Okay? Thanks.

Ouch. I'm sure there's a long and convoluted story about the estrangement you've experienced with your son. Here's hoping that bond can be re-established on a mutually satisfactory way.
