Are celebrity 'fractivists' overlooking science in their condemnation of the fracking industry?
When has ANY of these watermelon activists used actual science in their shit? Much less the so-called “celebrities” who are even dumber than the average creosote post. And on that score, why is Yoko Uno a celebrity to begin with? She is uglier than sin, she can not sing, she can not act, and her only claim to fame is marrying a drug addled ex-Beatle.

And it doesn’t even come close to addressing Posse Comitatus which has become a toothless forgotten law. DHS is buying up all the ammunition in the country; it is buying thousands of tanks, and is now implementing domestic attack drones. We truly have become a third world shit hole ruled by an oligarchy with a thug dictator. People have been banking on the “military” not being willing to fire on American citizens on the orders of a thug dictator. It appears to me that they are not counting on that either. It looks to me like the DHS is implementing their own brown shirt civilian army, complete with shock troops, armor, and an air force that can be controlled by a few remote thugs. This should become a major chapter in the growing set of books known as “what if this was a Republican”.

Here is the actual letter to R. Paul from the corrupt AG. It is full of bull shit, generalities, and nothing other than I will tell the President what his authority is when the situation arises. This screams loudly for congressional action AND is a good place for some bi-partisan action. Ordinarily Democrats and McShitty would be crawling all over this. Where are they now?
I know! Issa will hold another hearing!

Happy hump day, fellow Morons. My apologies for no story yesterday, as I decided to take one more day off. I hope this one makes up for it:
Some of my favorite reading concerns flop movies. I don't mean ones that were obviously never going to be classics, such as the dreck from cheapjack studios like AVCO Embassy, American International or Carolco; I mean ones that had the full backing of major studios and which, somehow, turned into wrecks. Most people know the major bombs like Cleopatra, Heaven's Gate or Inchon, but there are also smaller movies which never should have been greenlighted. Some of them star people who really had no business on the silver screen - Kate Smith's disastrous Hello, Everybody! or Liberace's ghastly debut, Sincerely Yours comes to mind - but even Hollywood legends have a stinker or two in their closet. Jimmy Stewart had the 1978 money sink, The Magic of Lassie, Bette Davis had Beyond the Forest chained around her neck in 1949. . .
And Elizabeth Taylor, no stranger to cinematic lead weights, had, among her many flops, 1970s The Only Game in Town.
Game was based on a Broadway play that ran for thirteen pathetic performances. No matter - 20th Century-Fox snapped up the rights for $700,000. This wasn't as stupid a decision as it sounds; the author, Frank Gilroy, had already proven his mettle with the play The Subject Was Roses, which was adapted for the screen in 1968 and made a nice chunk of change for MGM.
Taylor was enthusiastic about the script, saying, "You're making me cry," when it was first read to her. It was Fox's accountants who should have been crying, since La Liz, courtesy of producer Fred Kolmar, was pocketing a whopping $1,125,000 for her services. Kolmar also went along with Liz's other demand; since hubby Richard Burton would be in England* simultaneous with the filming of Game, it would be better for her peace of mind if the movie was shot in Paris. That Game takes place in Las Vegas didn't bother Taylor; she blithely assured Kolmar that Fox could build a better Las Vegas than the real thing.
Game follows Fran, a lonely middle-aged chorus girl who falls for a sweet-talking, but self-destructive, drifter named Joe. Fox needed an actor who packed enough star power to go head to head with Taylor, and thought they'd hit the jackpot in Frank Sinatra. But Taylor suffered an emergency hysterectomy that kept her out of commission for several months; by the time she was ready to shoot, Ol' Blue Eyes had backed out. His replacement? Warren Beatty, coming off the triumph of Bonnie and Clyde. Kolmar dashed off a check for $750,000 and Beatty was aboard. Everybody was happy.
Except Burton, who grew jealous at the growing closeness between Taylor and Beatty; he rearranged his schedule in order to be on set whenever the two filmed a romantic scene (possibly remembering the sparks between himself and Taylor on the Cleopatra set) and once even yanked her off the soundstage in fury at what he considered a too-intimate shot. Of course, after that, Taylor claimed that Burton's roughness strained her back, so the production - already behind schedule - had to wait a further fifteen days before Liz returned to the cameras.
Filming in France took eighty-five days. Another ten were required in Las Vegas, then a week more on the Fox lot, then came eight months of editing whatever usable footage there was into a halfway decent picture. During this time, Taylor gave a number of interviews stating that Game would mark her farewell to the movies; she had, she said, no greater wish than to retire gracefully after completing such a beautiful film.
Except it wasn't a beautiful film. Taylor had gained weight after her appendectomy and looked nothing like a Vegas chorus girl; her costumes (including a polyester pantsuit, funny hats and a blue dressing gown) only made the situation worse and did nothing to hide the fact that her waistline had disappeared. Beatty struggled manfully with his character and Gilroy's ludicrous dialogue, but he must have been kicking himself for turning down Butch Cassidy and Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice in favor of Game: in the words of Harry and Michael Medved, his wooing of Taylor "bears more than a passing resemblance to Charles Grodin trying to cast seductive glances at the divine Miss Piggy in The Great Muppet Caper."
Taylor quickly abandoned any talk of retirement after the brutal reception of Game and began looking for new projects. She would find them - Under Milk Wood and A Little Night Music were still ahead of her - but the spell she cast over studios was broken; she would never again be offered million-dollar salaries or open-ended budgets just to appear on screen.
A postscript: you would think that 20th Century-Fox, having nearly bankrupted themselves with Cleopatra and taken a $10 million dollar bath on The Only Game in Town, would stay as far away from Elizabeth Taylor as humanly possible. But you would be wrong. In a 1976 joint Russian - American venture, she appeared in an adaptation of the Maurice Maeterlinck play The Blue Bird. Fox ponied up $12 million for an American gross return of $887,902. The Russians - no fools they - never revealed how much they spent (and lost) on the project.
And that's it for me. Hope you all have a wonderful day. All you NE morons stay safe from the storm coming our way.
*co-starring with Rex Harrison in the play Staircase; they play an aging homosexual couple. Harrison reportedly dared Burton, "I'll do it if you will."

Statistics do show that hikes in the minimum wage result in higher unemployment for unskilled black youths. Why not apply that phony liberal court generated disparate impact theory to the minimum wage hikes. After all, any action that negatively impacts blacks above that of whites is legally illegal discrimination under this theory.
WhereÂ’s the EEOC?

Another Republican who did not get an invite to CPAC; VAÂ’s McDonnell. Supposedly it was because of his massive tax increases.
Vic, it's more of a kick in the teeth to McDonnell than Donuts Christie. McDonnell needs the publicity; Tubby doesn't. Donuts has a high rating. After McDonnell's latest stunts, he's doomed. His best hope now is to get an admin slot if an R would again take the White Mosque. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I was never impressed with Elizabeth Taylor other than her eyes.
Neither was Burton, at the beginning. He called her "Miss Tits."
And Cleopatra could have been a great film but it was far to far overbudget and as you implied there, largely due to Taylor.
Burton bears some responsibility there, too, though; I think, had he not started shtupping Liz, the movie might have been made more cheaply and a lot faster. I happen to like it, myself, though it does lose steam after Caesar gets knifed.

I wish I still had a blockbuster where I could rent it in Blu-Ray so I could watch it the way it was meant to be seen. Right now the cheapest BR available at Amazon for it is $19 and that is a little high for a movie I have seen on TV and don't remember liking it that much.

Not only did he work with Terry McAuliffe (who twisted D arms to go along with the transportation bill in return for expanding Medicare (O-care, essentially), he is threatening to veto THREE voter ID/prosecution bills that passed the legislature. The Richmond TEA Party was responsible for getting him elected even though we knew he was a RINO. When it comes to TV coverage, he's like a puppy, so eager to please. If he's ever on Cavuto's show again, watch him. It's embarrassing.

This was what "conservative" Bob McDonnel proposed as a package
- tax hike from 5 to 5.3 percent
- Additional sales tax hike of .7 percent in Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia
- Personal property tax hike from 3.5 percent to 4.3 percent
- Tangible personal property tax hike to 5 percent
- 3 percent Northern Virginia hotel tax
- Diesel tax hike from 17.5 cents per gallon to 6 percent tax on wholesale diesel, roughly a 5 cent per gallon increase
- Car tax hike from 3 percent to 4 percent in 2013, 4.1 percent in 2014, 4.2 percent in 2015, and 4.3 percent in 2016 (Remember when Republicans got elected in Virginia by saying we should get rid of the car tax? Good times.)
And when the Donks were done marking up this package it amounted to a $6.1 Billion dollar tax increase.
Fuck Bob McDonell and fuck Jonah Goldberg.
That can't be said enough!

The Marines have always had more than their fair share of Men who would do what they believed was right no matter what.
Reporters are quite the opposite. The extreme I recall is the photo journalist who spent a day watching a starving African child die in order that he could get the best shot of her final moments.

My mother is still jealous of Ms. Taylor, and it apparently has to do with the fact that once upon a time Liz was older than mom, but as the years went on, she got younger.
Oh well, mom's still here. Liz is not. Last laugh, and all that.

I had seen an article a few days ago where he had nominated a shit pot of gun grabbers to the courts all over the country. I didn't post it because it is a little early.
We have to see if the Republicans like Graham allow them out of committee. Remember, the judicial committee is the ONE committee where at least one minority party member must vote to release it out.
The Dems have used that every time they are out of power and the Republicans never use it.

I hate to say it, but what incentive do the D.C. eunuchs have to do anything else?
Since Our Betters in the "Conservative" Media are busy yammering about who gets to go to this CPAC circle-jerk and whether it's fair to charge Poppin' Fresh for his throne there on Blogger's Row or parroting Jonah Goldberg's latest pile of verbal Jell-O, no one but a few die-hards are paying attention to the continuing saga of the fat, pampered Stockholm Syndrome babies in Congress.
At least this way they are able to meet with Choom Boy and be warmed by the reflection of His Glory.
If we ever started to employ what little power we have left and hold Republicans' feet to the fire, perhaps we'd have a better chance of doing likewise with President Historic First©.
The country might have a better chance of survival, too.

I wrote to my pampered (he's not fat) Stockholm Syndrome critter this morning and reminded him of the impressive showing his dem opponent had last November, the first time he faced ANY competition in all the years he's been in. I told him there was no need to continue voting for him since he's acting the same way she would have. And don't believe this radical dem opponent he had is going away in 2014.

Although in theory CPAC is a good idea, in reality it regularly gets taken over by the Ronulans and then has little spats with the FudgePAC crowd and other obviously non-conservative entities. I think Tammy Bruce had the best advice when she told people to just save their money rather than spending it on CPAC.

It looked like to me the Ronulans only took over the "straw polls". But that should not be a problem in the future.

It seems to me that society has degenerated to the point where we might as well say here is the pseudo-marriage form: list all forms of animate* objects that you cohabitate with on a regular basis, and thus that you sometimes cohabitate with, and we will add payments to your unemployment based on sliding scale related to the exact type of relationship.
*I think a restriction to animate objects should survive even GLBTQVM scrutiny.

And there is always somebody out there that will tell you the 'slippery slope' is a logical fallacy.
IMO the fallacy is elevating theory-the rules of logic-over experience-what actually happens in the real world, where the slope is all too real and all too slippery.

In their defense, any genuine meteorologist who gave a damn about his or her profession would be the first to say "weater =/= climate," and that climate science is an entirely different field. Which just goes to show how few meteorologists we have on national TV who give a damn about their profession.

Why in the fuck is the House of Representatives not debating impeachment right *fucking* now?
Because raaaaaaacissssssssst! And because it wouldn't go anywhere in the Senate. But raaaaaaaacisssssssst!
Both arguments, btw, are bullshit. I don't care if it gets to the Senate and dies on the vine. Do it right the fuck NOW.

I'm beginning to think the only thing that WOULDN'T shut down a school these days would be a black guy wearing a shirt that reads "I am a Crip" on the front and "Kill Whitey" on the back, carrying a gun and wearing an NBPP beret. Because shutting down the school in that situation would be racist.

I have about 100 albums, and have been toying with converting them.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at March 06, 2013 09:08 AM (GsoHv)
About half of the ones I did were done with an old direct drive turntable with a Shure cartridge. My wife got me one of those that plugs into the USB input to your computer and I did the rest from it.
I don't remember which ones I used to do those two albums. But I can tell you that the one from the USB drive were much easier to do. And it came with software that allows you to split the songs so you do not have to lift the stylus and restart at every song.
If you are going to do it with an older (and presumably better turntable) you will have to have a sound card with an input and feed the output of your amp into the sound card. (can't plug the turntable straight into sound card)

Chavez had a skill for playing to the emotions of the left.
I don't think we should ignore that. (or we ignore it at our own peril.)
Consider that he'd ship heating oil up to the North East every few years as a "gift." Yes we all recognize it as an obvious bribe to people to ignore his other..shenanigans. But it created a sort of safe haven for the left to fall back on. (Sad though that may be.)

I am thankful that I live somewhere where Air Force, Army and Navy uniforms are common and appreciated.
And I'm sure people in hunting camo are in the schools almost daily.
Got some pictures printed at Walgreens and they had large, almost poster size pics to show you what they could make...2-3 of them were of hunters posing with their deer.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Grieving and stunned supporters of deceased Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez took to the streets on Tuesday weeping, chanting slogans and vowing to continue their hero's revolution.
Cute that Reuters should choose to focus on the dead bastard's SUPPORTERS, not his many celebratory detractors.
But there's no bias in the media!

Levin is wrong:
(1) He says the snow is just an excuse, that leadership moved to essentially silence voters: The idea of moving the vote to today due to the "Snowquester" has been discussed since at least Monday. Additionally, a major hearing has been cancelled and others have been moved. Furthermore, the bill was roughly outlined in the press prior to this week and was released early this week.
3/4/13: @rebeccagberg @nielslesniewski Per House aide: "Looking at Thursday but we're staying flexible on schedule because of possible weather."
2/27/13, "Key House conservatives say they can support measure to fund the government"- http://bit.ly/VNKS7K
3/6/13: @ChadPergram Federal gov't in DC is closed due to the pending snowstorm. But the House is still scheduled to meet to debate CR to avoid gov't shutdown.
(2) He completely ignored the fact that the Ds are discussing whether to remove the sequester cuts or prioritize non-defense discretionary spending over defense spending.
(3) He claims that any House R who votes for this bill wants ObamaCare: I am sure that there are Rs who secretly want ObamaCare. That said, equating realism with this secret desire is wrong. After losing National Federation of Independent v. Sebelius, our best chance to repeal ObamaCare was winning the election and having the states reject the Medicaid expansion. As for the House, the SCOAMT is not going to completely repeal ObamaCare due to a government shutdown, so they need to adopt a piecemeal approach. Attempting to repeal the IPAB would be a good start.
