Happy Tuesday.

The world's most generous nation, according to a global index of giving, is the United States. "A higher proportion of Americans helped a stranger than any other country in the world."

WaPo front page, above the fold: "Health-care enrollment on Web plagued by bugs." "The errors cumulatively have affected roughly one-third of the people who have signed up for health plans since Oct. 1."

The NY commuter train that derailed Sunday, killing 4 and injuring dozens, was going 82 mph as it entered a 30 mph curve. "A freight train derailed in the same place in July."

1 Good Morning Morons.  Today is Tuesday, December 03, 2013.  On this day in 1960 the musical Camelot opened on Broadway.  And no, it had nothing to do with the Kennedy administration.  That little bit of word associated was invented by the sycophant press (Theodore White) at the urging of Jackie Kennedy after the assassination.

2 Fox asks if the Obamanite last claim about Obamacide is true.


Is President Obama’s latest health care promise – that his plan will offer “most” people a better plan for the same price or less than their current policy – actually true?


Then they provide the most mealy-mouthed rebuttal I have seen in a long time.


No it is an outright lie.  Why can't they just say that?

5 An 11 year old girl who was selling mistletoe at a downtown Portland, OR in an open air market to raise money for braces runs afoul of the thousands of rules and regulations now stifling such activity in all major cities in the country.  She is told she can "beg" instead.   This is "liberal" America at its best folks.  And Obama wants to force us all into these enclaves of tyranny.

7 The Supreme Court refused to hear the Liberty University civil suit against Obamacide forcing them to provide free contraceptives.  That means at least one of the so-called "conservative" judges sold us out, as well as the floating judge.  If 4 justices agree to hear the case it will be granted cert.  It wasn't.   Face it folks, the Supreme Court will not rule against this unconstitutional POS law. The 4 liberal justices will never rule against anything the Democrats want and it appears the 4 conservative justices are turning to shit.  The only way we will get this law killed is repeal.  That means taking back the Senate and running a candidate who will win.  And dirty Hairy has set it up for us by getting rid of the filibuster.

8 This is old news but it is the first news article I have seen on it.  The military is planning to close all US based commissary stores.  Heavens no we can't close an unneeded base in congressman Snarfbutt's district, but let's shit on the troops and their families instead.  From what my MIL tells me the discounts at the commissary are now not much better than what you can get at a regular grocery store.  It's the savings in State sales tax that makes a difference. (Here mostly for non-food items)  So I question the 30% number that Fox has in this article.  Hell, I don't recall there being that much savings when I was in the Navy over 40 years ago.

25 Kindle Daily Deals


Hey, I went on a book-buying spree yesterday while they had cyber Monday on kindle books.  Bought three books.  The SF offer today looks interesting.  It is one of those post-apocalyptic things but written like Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea.  The daily deal is a trilogy for $1.99 but the first book is available free.  I downloaded it and will skim it when I have time today to see if I want all three.


http://tinyurl.com/q9qajrv


Update 1 hour later


I have read the first three chapters of the first book and decided for $1.99 it is worth a try.  It does not read like the typical post nuclear holocaust book. I don't know if it is like Hemingway because I have never read Hemingway, the commie loving bastard.

32 8 Vic We are of the same era. The only advantage the commissary had 40+ years ago was for people living aboard base. Even the package store offered little in savings (DC area being the land of liquor stores), The only big savings was on smokes(cheap at the exchange, dirt cheap at the commissary).My bride shopped the commissary maybe twice then just stuck with the Safeway a block away.

40 At most bases, closing the commissary does make some sense.  There are a few bases, though, where it would cause a genuine hardship.  We were at Edwards AFB in CA for years.  The nearest town is 18-20 miles away.  Unless they've built one recently, the nearest big-box like a Walmart, is over 30 miles away in Lancaster.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.  Thanks for the morning updates, Vic.

 

 

Around 1925 or so, the writer Frances Marion was walking across the Goldwyn lot to discuss his new picture, The Winning of Barbara Worth.  As she came near his office, she noticed a tall, lanky fellow dressed like a cowboy who was talking through the window to GoldwynÂ’s secretary.  Thinking him a choice piece of beefsteak, she snuck a couple of long looks at him before going into the office.

 

 

Goldwyn, it seems, was in a bad mood.  HeÂ’d assembled the cast for Worth, but was still lacking someone to play the part of a cowboy.  “I can get you a young man who wonÂ’t cost much,” Marion told him.  “Who?” asked a skeptical Goldwyn.  “IÂ’ll let you know in five minutes,” Marion assured him.  She went to the outer office, where the lanky fellow was still chatting away.  “Does that young man want to act?” Marion asked her.  “He sure does,” the girl replied.

 

 

When Marion escorted the rugged stranger into GoldwynÂ’s office, the producer was dubious.  He asked what the manÂ’s experience was, only to be told, “None.  I was an extra in one – two pictures.”  At that point, Goldwyn was ready to send the fellow packing, but he saw Marion nodding in approval and knew sheÂ’d given him good advice in the past.  “All right, young man.  IÂ’ll take a chance on you.”

 

 

It turned out to be an inspired choice.  The novice actor fit right in with the Worth company, which included heavyweights Ronald Colman and Vilma Bànky*, he looked at home in the great outdoors and rode a horse as if born in the saddle.  But his part was a small one and nobody really paid much attention to him when he was off set.  In fact, when the company went on location, the fellow was bunked in a tent with the Chinese cook.

 

 

It wasnÂ’t until the movie was released and became a big hit that anyone bothered to remember his name:  Gary Cooper.

 

 

HereÂ’s Coop in Worth:

Here’s a picture of Vilma Bànky as she starred in 1925s The Eagle:

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

 

*Bànky apparently developed a taste for cowboys; she married Western actor Rod LaRocque in 1927, the marriage lasting until LaRocque’s death in 1969.

.Most states don't tax food sales.  The Commissary charges a 5% surcharge to each customer, so the average customer pays more for most items there.  

 

The prices at the Fort Knox Commissary are about the same as the surrounding area.  I go there every few months to get stuff I can't find in my area.  Often the Commissary will have a sale on some random item and that is where the bargains are.  One time it was dog food.  A 20 bag for 5 dollars, I filled the car up with that one.  They put a steep discount on things for the Holidays also.

 

As far as the Commissaries closing, I don't think it will happen, but there is a slim chance it might.

He was so quick. There was a seminar for advanced students in Zürich that I was teaching and von Neumann was in the class. I came to a certain theorem, and I said it is not proved and it may be difficult. Von Neumann didn't say anything but after five minutes he raised his hand.

There was a hospital in Jamaica Plain (really a part of Boston, and in Bedford. My father had been in both of those hospitals.

If I want to "upgrade" to a lower deductible, it's a 400% increase. Also, my current doctor does not participate in my ACA mandated new plan. If my husband signs up for VA insurance instead of being on mine, we'll pay the same for just me as we pay now for both of us, but still have a higher deductible and I have to find a new doc. Like I said yesterday, I didn't even think my old plan was super great, but it is a ton better than this ACA approved plan I've been forced into. But hey, I get all the free birth control I can eat now! *rolls eyes*

135 Hell, I don't recall there being that much savings when I was in the Navy over 40 years ago.


I really don't use the commissary very often because it's a twenty minute drive from my house to the base here in Montgomery.  I've started to reconsider though.  This county has a 10% sales tax even on consumable goods.  It's probably worth the drive to avoid the tax.  I didn't realize a tremendous savings at the commissary in past shopping trips.  I feel bad for the people who live in isolated places like Edwards, AFB.  They don't have many shopping options in close proximity.  I did see an interesting proposal for allowing a subsidy for troops and retirees to be applied directly to a retailer under contract with the DoD.

136 One of the ways Hitler co-opted the churches was to fund them.  Ever since, Europeans don't give squat to charity.  If the State is going to take care of everyone, there is no need for charity.

This is my point of contention with the Catholic Bishops.  Charity must be voluntary.  Jesus didn't say "Give Caesar 40% and let him take care of the poor."

138 I notice a big difference in prices at the Commissary. Sometimes it's 50 cents, but sometimes it's a couple of dollars. Anything I check, I see a difference. It's cheaper than Walmart and way cheaper than the other stores. From my latest receipts, butter (same brand) was $3.78 at Walmart vs. $2.50. Even with the 5% and tipping the baggers, it's better. And for a family, the savings add up quickly.

145 DG, one consideration for your husband using the VA is time off from work. You see your doctor through a team/clinic approach. A doctor appointment typically takes up half a day. So depending on your husband's general health and his employment, you may be better off with private insurance. Appointments with a specialist take even longer. My husband was 100% disabled and not employed, so the time factor did not matter to him.

157 But hey, I get all the free birth control I can eat now! *rolls eyes* Posted by: DangerGirl at December 03, 2013 08:22 AM (EYfcP) The SCOAMF is a lying SOB. He doesnÂ’t know how to tell the truth. I am horrified for you and know that next year people on employersÂ’ plans are probably going to be a screwed as you. The law should be fully repealed. The only two with the balls to try are Ted Cruz & Mike Lee. 2 out of 100 senators isnÂ’t that hopeful. But there was the IBD editorial from late October that wrote about the costly Medicare benefit that was added on in 1988 or 1989. Senior Citizens went ballistic and the law was repealed the next year, with bipartisan support. If things keep up as they have and there seems like they are only going to be worse, eventually the dems are going to have to do something or be thrown out of office. I know they are afraid of next yearÂ’s wrath. SCOAMF should enroll along with the wife & family and pay for it himself, if itÂ’s so wonderful!

163 I am horrified for you and know that next year people on employersÂ’ plans are probably going to be a screwed as you. Know what the sad thing is? This *is* an employer-based plan. They had to switch our insurance because our old plan didn't cover abortions or BC pills, so it no longer exists. I can't wait to see what kind of a royal mess we'll be screwed with next year. I'm thankful I don't have children. The guys here who have 2+ dependents and wish to stay on a low decuctible ($500/$1500) plan will have to pay 10x more the old cost per month. Ten. Times. More.

164 The navy base north of Memphis is where BUPERS is located. No reason to locate a bunch of personnel, computers and offices on expensive coastal real estate and pay San Diego type housing allowances. Commissaries sometimes have a hard time being relevant in areas with a lot of grocery competition. They sell at cost plus 5% to cover overhead but if there are a lot of grocery stores in the area you're not going to see a huge difference because the margins elsewhere will be thin because of competition. Meat is often a good deal and makes the savings worth it. The exchanges (distinct from the commissaries) are NAF and are often very price competitive, because they will match published sale prices from any other retailer (just bring in your flyer) plus you are not paying tax plus you can shop online if you aren't convenient to a location. They used to be crummy back in the day when they were run by active duty military guys with no retail experience but they have come a long way in recent years. None of which is relevant to the fact that the Pentagon is threatening to close commissaries which again are an entirely different organization from the exchanges, but as the wife of a career military retailer I thought I would give you some handy bonus information.

169 WaPo front page, above the fold: "Health-care enrollment on Web plagued by bugs." "The errors cumulatively have affected roughly one-third of the people who have signed up for health plans since Oct. 1."






The left is trying to make BarryCare about a buggy website. This has nothing to do with the website. It's about millions of people getting thrown out of their healthcare plans. It's about the cost of healthcare coverage skyrocketing because of BarryCare.  It's about the government namely the Democrats trying to destroy the existing healthcare system and replace it with a government run one.

Very likely.    But, see,   the SEIU members whine like the biggest g-ddamn toddlers in the entire universe.   They're ALMOST as bad as Obammy.    Almost.

231 We have reached a state of the world where 48,000,000 people follow Katy Perry on Twitter--she is the most followed person on the planet--it's official, the dumbing down is complete. The final irony will be when her fans can no longer afford tickets to her concerts because some meanie pants made them buy health insurance.

232 Going back to the train crash for a moment.
It would seem that in order to hit a 30mph curve, at the end of a 70mph stretch going 82 mph, that the train was already exceeding the higher 70mph speed limit to begin with.

So if there was some malfunction, I'm guessing there are records of the Engineer telling the control station that he can't get the train to maintain the higher 70mph limit and will need help at the station....right?

234 Wait a minute there.  You said Memphis Belle.  So willing to backdate a B-17G to a B-17F?  You are ambitious.

Lets see.  Get rid of the Cheyenne tail turret.  Un-stagger and open the waist windows.  The chin turret gone.  Astro bubble gone.  The nose cheek gun bulges removed and replaced by large square windows flush with the fuselage.

Good luck.

241 There was a train derailment in New Mexico last weekend, too. There were no passengers just crew. But all 3 died when the train cars fell down a gorge. So, everybody -- stay off trains.

Would it help if you walked the dog while wearing some kind of inflatable suit   that could cushion the weight if   and when you were to accidentally dislodge the model and   find yourself pinned beneath it?

 

...

 

Although, if it didn't work, that might be an even more ridiculous headline than "man crushed by model airplane":    "Man wearing inflatable    Goodyear Tire costume crushed by model airplane."

247 The real test: The "climate change", "global warming", CO2 a plant food kills, fraud is now proved up total as pure horse shi!. Only drones of the worst sort will or would be ok with that 100% lie to be used to tax/control U.S.. It the elected ones go with this fraud, if the courts ok this stink, if the people do not rise up and fight this last huge lie/fraud then the majority are just as low and worthless as John F. Kerry or B. Obama. There will be a divorce settled out of court.

252 246 above. The ones at Sandia Lab in Abq. New Mexico have looked at this site. They just roll their eyes, so bad they can not even laugh at it. Thing is the piss ants in the commie Democrat party would not even ask for the help they had on line within the government complex. If this dumb, danger, if done for the hate they have only more danger. Democrat Party has U.S. on a death march.

Since all the RINOs were out yesterday complaining about COD, Angle, Akin and Mourdoch in Drew's thread, where do I get to heap on worthless piles of shit like Romney, McCain, Dole, Poppy Bush and other squishy fucks who've made it through the primaries that Prince Reebus has no intention of cleaning up and I end up having to hold my fucking nose and vote for with nary a complaint lest I get called a traitor to the cause? I was told those assholes were "electable"; except they weren't.

And don't forget their  whining that those of us who'd like to see the nutless GOP fight back are actually wingnuts who want to take our toys because the Reps don't scream enough on TV.  That pisses me off no end.

 

You know what I would do if I headed up the RNC?  I'd take a page out of that Dem asshole Mark Tuck's book - I'd hire an amoral hacker to plant kiddie pRon on every single computer Hairy Reid's had his hands on and watch the fucker try to squirm out of that.  The only way to win is hard, dirty gutterball politics.

257 More than just the bathtub, the -D was the last model without a tail turret.  Flying Fortress Mk. 1 in RAF service.

And the Swoose as it is, even has B-17E parts on it to keep it flying during WWII.

258 I'm beginning to think they are botching the website o purpose, because they can't fix the back end without policy decisions that they can't make politically. Some jackasses comment about how great it will be in 2017 is gnawing at me.

259 Oh, I'm certain that it's on purpose. Obama's people certainly didn't have any trouble with advanced networking and messaging technology during the campaign, did they? You can't fundamentally transform the healthcare industry without destroying it first. Once the ships are burned, there's no going back.
