Happy Friday.

Rasmussen's most recent polling on Sen. Rubio -- and his first polling about Sen. Cruz -- came as a bit of a surprise. Cruz's favorable/unfavorable with Republican voters is 42/12.
Rubio's, by contrast, is 68/10.

Sen. Warren has a stupid idea about student loans -- and she probably knows it's a stupid idea, which hasn't stopped her from proposing it to garner support from stupid people.

Sen. McCain has once again introduced legislation to forbid cable providers from bundling channels; he also wants to end sports broadcast blackouts.

I'm not sure why it's all Senate news this morning.

Ah, here's something. Folks with implanted defibrillators, don't set things with magnets -- like iPads -- on your chests, m'kay?

Gawker's mole at Fox News pleaded guilty yesterday to a pair of computer crimes.

There's a rumor that Fox tv wants to bring back '24' now that Kiefer Sutherland's current show followed tradition in the Friday death slot.

Programming Note: I will be heading to FreedomWorks' Blogcon conference in Dallas tomorrow, where I'll be doing a panel discussion with Larry O'Connor, Dana Loesch, and Guy Benson about media accuracy. I won't be back until Wednesday, so one of the cobs will be covering the morning posts. Be good.

2 Good Morning Morons. Today is Friday, May 10, 2013. On this day in 1773 the British Parliament passed the Tea Act, designed to save the British East India Company by granting it a monopoly on the North American tea trade.

This also had the secondary intent of collecting taxes from the colonies through the Townsend Act, having the unpopular Stamp Act rescinded. At the time Great Britain was heavy into Mercantilism and the British East India Tea Company had a huge surplus of tea in its London warehouses and was struggling.

And the British Parliament was obviously no better than our Congress in judging the impact of their actions. This act resulted in the colonies boycotting British Tea and may be what led Americans to switch to coffee over tea. It culminated in the Boston Tea Party and eventually revolution. And today is Confederate Memorial Day in NC and SC.

3 Lady Lindsay is all but calling the Joint Chief a liar and that he has committed perjury and wants him to return to Capital Hill for testimony. He had previously said that there had been no order to Â“stand downÂ”. Lady Lindsay has the base in SC to try to assuage so he is trying to get in front of the cameras. He needs to leave this to the House where the Republicans have the lead on the committee.

Pentagon orders web page owner to take down 3-D printer plans for a gun from its web. Pentagon???? WTF??? The order appears to have been based on the BS UN Gun Control Treaty which has not been ratified. Shit just got real people. They are using the military to order citizens around based on a treaty that has not been ratified.

17 Bodies of Seals killed when old helicopter shot down were dammed by a Muzzie bastard cleric who had been invited by the military brass who forbid and Christian or Jewish clerics. Families are outraged and also say the ROE and shitty old equipment contributed to the shootdown. First off, we need to get the hell out of Afghanistan. The only mission we are working on there is protecting ObamaÂ’s ass. Next we need to clean out the Pentagon and get some leaders who think the mission comes first and PC has no business in the military. But most of all we need to impeach the worthless bastard who claims to be the CIC.

Unfortunately none of this is likely to happen. Instead they military will be used to control gun control for the UN. Sounds like black helicopter stuff doesnÂ’t it? Too bad in the Obama age it has become the norm.

20 News Flash - Hillary did not commit perjury! Sure, she lied, but the stupid idiots in the House allowed her to testify without being under oath.

That has never happened to my knowledge when a Republican had to testify under like circumstances to a Democrat panel. This brings to question as to whether Holder was under oath when he testified about Fast and Furious. They do not call them the Party of stupid for nothing. She still broke the law because Â“lying to CongressÂ” is a crime by itself.

Vic, re the helicopter shoot-down Beck yesterday talked about the contacts they had on this and said there were unvetted LOCALS along for the ride. The word came down that these guys were okay. The families allege that those locals tipped off the enemy vermin on the ground. As was also noted here right after this tragedy that that was an inordinate amount of SEALs to be allowed on one flight.

Remember Lincoln's adage that America would only be taken down from within?

Jeez, Vic, you're a cheerful little news-snowflake this morning, aren't you?

My only question is: When do people wake the fuck up and start taking steps to shove about 530 members of Congress and Choom Boy out of D.C.?

By any acceptable standards of decency and legality, this morning's headlines would be enough for impeachment, removal from office and imprisonment for all of these selfish, America-hating maggots.

But I don't expect any serious reaction, particularly from the Conservative Pundits. Maybe a few pathetic squeaks from NRO and Tepid Air in between their relentless pursuit of Shiny Stuff and Squirrels.

It may already be too late for us.

It's actually State. This is through the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) controls. DoD flags sensitive technologies and State enforces the ITAR regime. I question whether or not this is a sensitive technology under ITAR, but additive manufacturing is still in its infancy so people are just groping their way through this shit right now.

I wouldn't go all eleventy quite yet.

If we started selling F-22s to Iran you would think that ITAR is a good deal all of a sudden.

Sounds like a good job for Ted Cruz.

Hello, fellow morons. Since I was drinking my angst away last night with a few Old Fashionds, todayÂ’s story will be short and, for once, take place in the 1960s.

To, I am sure, our pleasure, the loathsome Robert RedfordÂ’s new movie, The Company You Keep, is dying the death of a thousand dogs at the box office. HereÂ’s a story about his erstwhile partner, Paul Newman:

It was 1968, and Newman was in New Hampshire campaigning for Eugene McCarthy. One evening, after Newman had delivered a passionate anti-war speech, a policeman in his escort pointed to a fellow officer. Â“He got the call last night.Â”

Â“What call?Â” Newman asked.

Â“His son. Just got killed over there.Â”

A pale Newman approached the officer and offered his sympathies. Then, hesitantly, he asked, Â“What do you think about some creep, some Hollywood peacenik. . .coming in here and telling you about the war?Â”

The policeman assured Newman that he didnÂ’t resent what the actor was doing. Â“Even if a war takes your boy,Â” he said, Â“that doesnÂ’t make it right.Â”

Have a safe trip, Gabe, and thanks for the morning briefing, you and Vic.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and a lovely weekend.

I'm surprised that Rubio has actually lost support. He gets the second best press of any GOPer after Christie. Every media organization, including Fox, is in the tank for amnesty and does nothing but praise him. Even the talk show hosts like Rush and Levin who oppose his plan will gush about what an awesome guy he is.

Cruz, on the other hand, probably gets the most hostile coverage of any GOPer alive.

Kimberley Strassel in the WSJ is the latest to jump on the "why are the knuckledraggers being so mean to Zeppo Rubio?" bandwagon. And that the "real news is the growing unity among conservative leaders and groups over the need to at least embrace the challenge of reform". What conservative leaders and groups? The NRO crowd and Poppin Fresh?

Exclusive: Benghazi Talking Points Underwent 12 Revisions, Scrubbed of Terror Reference

Posted by: ted at May 10, 2013 03:31 AM (wb4qc)

74 Cruz's favorable/unfavorable with Republican voters is 42/12. Rubio's, by contrast, is 68/10. Surely, ask Jennifer Rubin. No surprise given the influence that propaganda as news still has on most Americans including Republicans. This crew at ace is closer to the cutting edge, almost willing to self assess (rare attribute in general) with all the party lackeys lagging like dead weight, still towing the party soundbite lines. Now, as for the reliability of Republican public view, don't forget the party leadership's assuring line: "Anyone but Obama" Mitt home run to Losersville. Electability! all the way through another defeat. So ask a fellow Republican whether or not to be Charlie Brown, "just" one more time, and take what the Leadership give like obedient servants.

==========

I'm not defending Romney, but he pretty much had to scrap Benghazi as an avenue of attack because he screwed it up by going after TFG's words when he should have gone after TFG's actions. TFG was prepared and defended with weasel worded statements, fed to him by that Crowley cow, but he could not weasel out of the fact that he did NOTHING while Americans were fighting and dying.

By making that choice Team Romney really screwed the pooch.

95 Railroads hire many veterans returning from war Â“ItÂ’s a proud company with a proud heritage Â— very similar to the military,Â” Suver said. Â“The similarities are uncanny sometimes.Â” Suver and her brother both interviewed with UP around the same time and got job offers. Later her husband also went to work for the railroad after his active-duty military career ended. But he joined the Army Reserve just before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to complete his 20 years of military service and was promptly deployed. The railroad took such good care of Suver and her family during that deployment that she says itÂ’s unlikely sheÂ’ll ever leave UP. The railroad maintained her husbandÂ’s life and health insurance and covered the difference between National Guard pay and his railroad salary so he wouldnÂ’t take a pay cut while deployed. Â“UP took care of me and my family while my husband was gone,Â” Suver said. Â“It just made a huge impression on me.Â”

He recalled having asked Dempsey Â“point blank,Â” in their exchange in February, where was the closest C-130 plane on the night of Sept. 11. Graham further recalled that the chairman testified the nearest such plane was in Djibouti, Africa. But the transcript of the Feb. 7 hearing shows Graham in fact asked the general on that occasion about AC-130 gunships, and that Dempsey never provided any information about the approximate distance between the nearest such planes and Benghazi.

99 FORT HOOD, TEXAS Â— The Army psychiatrist charged with gunning down 13 people during the 2009 rampage at Fort Hood is scheduled to go on trial this month after a military judge denied his request Thursday for another delay. Maj. Nidal Hasan's attorneys requested the trial be delayed from late May until Sept. 1, saying military jurors might be influenced by recent national media coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings that compared the suspects, two Muslim brothers, to Hasan, who is an American-born Muslim. The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, refused. Osborn also reconsidered and again denied Hasan's request to plead guilty in connection with the November 2009 attack on the Texas Army post that also wounded nearly three dozen people. Still breathing and still drawing a Army Salary?

137 Re McCain on cable bundling:

In practice, I think people would pay more per channel than they currently do. It can still mean an overall lower bill, which is mostly what matters. And I'd expect a big bundled package to continue to be cheaper on a per channel basis. Additionally, when people buy X number of channels, providers may throw in some other channels for free - channels that would not survive if people had to pay for them individually. To do that, of course we'd effectively be subsidizing them by paying higher prices for the other channels. In order for that to work, new contracts would have to be worked out between the cable companies and content providers. But I imagine that would need to be done for a new a la carte system anyhow.

All in all a more dynamic system that would encourage competition - but it would not necessarily make all kinds of channels go belly up.

I think McCain is reverting to his McCain-Feingold tricks on this point:
"McCain also wants to prevent broadcasters from pushing popular programming to pay TV, when they should basically be available for network TV too."

The government should stay out of deciding what is sufficiently popular/useful and making sure it has to be "free."

149 Good morning!

I suppose I will be accused of conspiracy theories or something, but as I asked on the ONT thread, "Why didn't the FBI confiscate Ambassador Stephens' diary?"

Remember, someone got it to Anderson Cooper, who was using it as an "unnamed source" to inform us that Stephens had complained about security.
He was forced to reveal that he had the diary and announced it on his program on CNN. He said at that time it would be returned to the family.

Why didn't the FBI send their Atlanta bureau chief over to CNN to get that diary right then? WAS it returned to the family? If so, did the FBI get it from them, or does the family still have it? Or was it destroyed?

Also, remember that e-mail from Philippe Reines (sp?) who was Hillary's assistant? He sent it to someone at CNN in high dudgeon over them supposedly passing it around. Ace even wrote a post about it.

SO, where is this diary which is evidence? Why was it ignored? What is going on?

152 A commenter at Market Ticker speculated that they were private security, and were dressed in a way that they were identifiable to the police, so if they had to draw their weapons, they wouldn't get shot by mistake. It sounded plausible. I was thinking either some agency or private contractors like Blackwater (yeah I know they aren't Blackwater anymore.) But the point was I think that the info gap is that "we" knew, or had strong info, that something would happen there, and so the security guys were there. But somehow they didn't put the location together with the brothers because the FBI had written Speedbump off - had essentially been forced to by Spencer Ackerman.

198 This deserves a flaming skull: ================== ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensively edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack. White House emails reviewed by ABC News suggest the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department. The edits included requests from the State Department that references to the Al Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to CIA warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding the attack. That would appear to directly contradict what White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said about the talking points in November.

And no, the various bureaus of the intelligence "community" do not "share" intelligence any better now than before 9-11-01. When push comes to shove, the CIA blindsides the FBI. And Anderson Cooper was, after all, a graduate of a CIA training camp. Loyalties. Stevens was assassinated abroad. The Obama Administration meant to destroy Stevens' diary along with all evidence. And you are correct; that is totally unacceptable! When Obama's "One Voice" media team keep up the dumbest mantra "Benghazi was a long time ago" THIS YEAR, hoping to convince the gullible to forgetaboutit, it's more of their own staying stuck on stupid, telling a series of lies, as if to satisfy "I take full responsibility." Rather, the indiscreet Clinton admission reverberates through our politicians as government. BECAUSE I COULD. We Came. We Saw. We Killed. Bwahahahaha!!! What difference does it make?!

I'm always amused when people think that anyone who knows what they think and why they think it...complete with snark...wouldn't say it to someone's face. There isn't anything I ever say here that I wouldn't say to someone's face. That includes such key phrases as, "Sorry, I was wrong," and "OMFG you're a complete moron." So uh, yeah, I'd treat Meghan McCain exactly how she treats someone like me whether or not her brother is present. Her brother is welcome to take his best shot, as long as he's ready for mine.

There are some internet tough guy heroes here, sure. There are on any site. But TBH, I find that far more of a problem in the left than the right. Just go read the violent fantasies of the ~~former playground victims~~ DKos kidz and you'll see what I mean.

I think the policy is "know your place serf!"

Which is why if I am laying the groundwork to migrate in half a decade I won't be bothered when the GOP is tossed in the dustbin of history.

The GOP has a populist message all its own it *could* use, but then people who made their money off their power would be vulnerable and we "can't have that."

I'm not a Republican b/c I am in love with the rich for their own sake I am a Republican b/c to the last 10 or so years GOP fiscal policy gave me the best chance to join them.

269 From the Weekly Standard: The Benghazi Scandal grows

http://tinyurl.com/bu9mrza

Wherein we discover that although General Patraeus was"disappointed" in the rewrite of the talking points (see article for how much they were changed) he did not lodge any sort of protest.

This leads me to believe that Obama already had the information on Paula Broadwell BEFORE Benghazi, and possibly before Petraeus was nominated as CIA head.

I wonder if this was the last straw for Petraeus and is why he resigned with a confession.

277 Gabe, There is not a lot to do in Las Colinas/Irving. The Italian restaurant at the Omni was excellent when I lived in the neighborhood. You can take DART rail from Las Colinas to downtown Dallas or Deep Ellum. You can also take it to uptown (exit Red or Blue lines at Cityplace Station), hop on the terminally groovy streetcar line, and find yourself in a district with a number of fine pubs (if you're into that sort of thing. I highly recommend the Ginger Man, the Idle Rich, and the Blackfriar, which are all within about 90 second walk of each other).

293 About time for me to piss everyone off again. Ted Cruz is not a "natural born citizen." He is a citizen by the operation of a Congressional law, "the Citizenship act of 1934" (And subsequent iterations of it.) Aldo Mario Bellei was also a citizen as a result of this statute, but the statute has strings. Bellei was stripped of his citizenship because he failed to meet the residency requirements congress had specified in the law. The Supreme Court agreed in a case called "Rogers v Bellei". The decision of the court was that if Congress chose to grant citizenship to people, they also had a right to put stipulations on it. Bellei failed to meet the requirements and so he was stripped of his American Citizenship. Bellei was born in a Foreign country to an American mother and a Foreign father. If congress can grant you citizenship, Congress can take it away. But it isn't "natural" citizenship. They can't take that away.

303 Rasmussen's most recent polling on Sen. Rubio -- and his first polling about Sen. Cruz --came as a bit of a surprise. Cruz's favorable/unfavorable with Republican voters is 42/12. Rubio's, by contrast, is 68/10.

I don't think this is a surprise. Don't forget, most republicans in these polls are not conservatives and are not paying attention the way we are. Rubio has received much more national press coverage than Cruz, so most republicans don't know anything about him.

Those of us that come to sites like Ace's often forget that the republican party is made up of just as many low-information voters as the American electorate as a whole and also that the Republican party is not made up of a majority of people that are as conservative as we are.

Combine those two factors and it makes perfect sense that Rubio's polling is better than Cruz's among the GOP.

The Marines are a very good PR operation that happens to have combat equipment. When I went to the Naval War College there were a shitload of Marines in my cycle for some reason that year. Let's just say that they're not exactly the intellectual powerhouses of the Department of Defense and leave it at that.

As much as I hate John McCain and want him gone, he is occaisionally right.

McCain railed against broadcasters for basically giving consumers a choice of either purchasing a package of channels even if you donÂ’t want a lot of them, or just not getting cable at all. He argued that consumers should not have to unfairly pay up for channels like ESPN, which costs over four dollars a month per household, if they do not want to watch ESPN. He said that anyone who has ESPN and ESPN2 in their cable package and doesnÂ’t watch them is just Â“sending a check to Disney for about $70.Â”

If you want to fuck NBC, a-la-carte cable is the way to do it.

This is 100% correct. We often make the mistake in believing that conservatives are the bulk of the Republican party. We are not. We tend to do the same things we accuse liberals of doing. We live in an echo chamber at times. Here at AOSHQ, we all don't even believe the same things. Think about how many civil wars here have been sparked over this issue or that. Sometimes, a person is declared a RINO over one single issue. The person may agree with everyone else 99.9% of the time, but they are a traitor if they stray off the reservation even once.

We also make the mistake of believing that issues are equally important to everyone. Take the gay marriage debate. Polls may show that a certain percentage of people feel a specific way about the issue. For instance, say that Senator X is against gay marriage and that polls say that 55% of voters favor gay marriage. That doesn't mean that Senator X won't win re-election. It could be that only 10% of that 55% believe the issue is enough to influence their votes. That's 5.5%. That might be enough to swing the election, but it might not be. The voters may believe that his other stances on issues better fit with their beliefs.

This week, Benghazi is the big issue. Next week, it will be something new, the week after, something new again. Each week, the same names don't come up about each and every issue. We tend to see the names of people who are outspoken or who we 100% disagree with. I'm not saying we are right or wrong. I'm just saying that it colors our view of a particular person in a way that the average voter might not see.

The reson that these leftists push books about adultery (or other anti-social type behavior) is that they know once a book is deemed Important American Literature it will be required reading in the high schools, furthering the erosion of the bourgeois middle class.

Also, in the old days adultery was the Big Taboo so authors put it in there for shock value (See: Thomas Hardy's dreary Tess of the D'Ubervilles.)

Of course the problem is we have a democrat party who hates the idea of genuine growth and wants indentured voters. I don't have answers anymore and in my weaker moments I am pretty sure the game is over.

We are atop so much mineral wealth it is insane, and that mineral wealth coupled with sane and prudent fiscal discipline SHOULD BE FIRING UP A NEW GOLDEN AGE but we are not allowed to want "more."

Benghazi is just beginning to come out.

Why was Stephens in Benghazi meeting with a Turk on 9/11?

Probably illicit arms deals to and from Sunni radicals connected with al Qaeda in both Libya and Syria.

Why the Mo video story?

The White House and Democrats generally closely coordinate with Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the US like CAIR, MSA, and so on. Internationally we arm the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt with the latest modern weapons, and arm them in Syria with whatever.

The MB's* largest global push for a decade is to internationalize Islamic blasphemy under various modern-sounding names like "defamation of religion" or whatever the latest wording was in UN Res 16/18, which Hillary backed to passage in late 2011.

Until the passage of UNR 16/18 the US had consistently opposed criminalizing our First Amendment and making Islam the only religion practiced on the face of the earth.

There is a lot more, but those two biggies are still waiting to drop like lead shoes on the ceiling.

(*The Obama Administration is loaded with Muslim Brotherhood infiltrators, including State and DHS.)

396 Last night I did a bit of thinking, and since this is basically open thread day, I thought I'd share.

Popular media, when trying to come up with some horrifying concept for a plot device, has used several themes on a recurring basis. One is obviously the zombie genre, which has been written about at length and I won't go into that here.

Another one is the "harvesting" genre. From Soylent Green to V to the Matrix to Mass Effect, purveyors of entertainment in all sort of mediums use the concept of human harvesting as the Big Bad Horrific Thing.

I don't think I need to explain why it's horrific as a concept. It's universal, that's why everyone gets it, and why it is used so often.

The thing is, our lives are being harvested every single day. Sure, we're not put in pods, hooked up to interfaces in our brains, turned into Duracells, liquified to make another species, or anything like that. But, our lives *are* being stolen.

We work a large portion of every day just to fulfill an obligation to a bunch of bureaucrats who make the rules and tell us what we can and cannot do. Those are hours we'll never get back. Months of every year. When your kids are born, they are automatically hooked into this harvest, obligated to grow up and slave away so Congress can get rich from insider trading and their friends can be subsidized with your daily sweat.

So, if the concept of being "harvested" is so universally abhorrent, why don't we use it to fight the left?

As to the GOP, the pertinent question to ask about many of the hacks in it is not what they say they would do, but what do you think they would actially do if pressure from the Liberty faction did not exist? Finally, as to Rubio, on his now signature issue he is one of three things--a blind optimist, a fool, or someone who fully knows he is just merely trying to surrender with honor but can't tell you that. In case of the last, I submit fighting to just insure you can surrender with honor is not how America became the America of glorious past, but is probably how it will become the America of mediocre new--if not nipped in the bud.

445 >>Why didn't the FBI send their Atlanta bureau chief over to CNN to get that diary right then? WAS it returned to the family? If so, did the FBI get it from them, or does the family still have it? Or was it destroyed? >>Also, remember that e-mail from Philippe Reines (sp?) who was Hillary's assistant? He sent it to someone at CNN in high dudgeon over them supposedly passing it around. Ace even wrote a post about it. >>SO, where is this diary which is evidence? Why was it ignored? What is going on? The diary was returned to Stevens family but not until after CNN reported information from the diary. One of the tidbits reported was that Stevens feared for his life as he had been told that he was on an al Qaeda hit list. When asked to comment on that report, Hillary said she had no reason to believe that was true. Now why do you suppose the diary has since become a non-factor?

446 I submit that the path forward on illegal immigration is assmiliation by rejection--to continually reject any and all demands by illegals until, over time, the primacy of the existing American heritage is accepted by all, and in a fashion leaving no doubt of the sincerity of the conversion. Other than that, prepare.

Posted by: Mainah at May 10, 2013 09:36 AM (659DL)

Being the Jets, it won't be a quiet dignified failure like Vince Young. It will be a high exposue shit filled land-mine of media excess. Most draft observers were laughing their asses off at this pick particularly because there are so many gaping holes elsewhere. I don't know who in the front office persists in believing that the Jets can somehow make dumb personnel choices but still succeed. They tried this with Braylon Edwards a few years ago, a talented wide receiver who inexplicably (well, if you ignored a drinking problem) tended to drop easy passes after making very difficult ones. Since those choices continue, I have to believe it's the owner meddling in moves, which is probably why Belichick chose to not take over from the Tuna, after dealing with hands on ownership in Cleveland, and instead went to New England.

If it makes you feel any better, limited government has been taking a consistent beating since ending slavery required a civil war, through Wilson, FDR and Johnson. Reagan, our hero, slowed the growth a bit.

The upside is that if you learned all the Founder's great warning quotes when you were young and read the great big government dystopian novels now you get to feel like a prophet.

Until there is a limited government fiscal conservative genocide I plan to stay over here with the sane people.

451 If I've got that wrong, you could have explained it (very slowly) and I would have apologized. Posted by: typo dynamofo at May 10, 2013 09:35 AM (WVMUQ) You know, I always fancied myself as a peacemaker until attacked personally. Asking Fourth to pick up my robes and I will pay him at the rally, I thought, did two things. First, it showed that maybe backhandedly calling someone a Klansman was a little harsh. Second, making sure forth got your point that you believed it smacked of racist talk. We all type mistakes, all of us. If you are an Elder statesman of the AoShq as you so willingly trot out. You should know that. I take comments not on face value, but as a history of that commentor. Are they in a bad mood, drunk, whatever. Instead of attacking another commentor over something that offends you. Might I suggest you probe to see if that's what they really meant instaed of hammering someone and starting a flame war. It's like my Grandaddy once said, You don't start no shit, there won't be no shit. Your apology is accepted if I may return an apology of my own.

Had my first taste of CA pizza in MB...it is good stuff. And a nice change from all the less-than-good BBQ and all you can eat tourist traps down there.

Its located in N. MB on the main drag. Another excellent restaraunt in the same plaza( barefoot landing) is a place called Umberto's. Tasty Italian food south of the border!! Large portions, fair price.

Thanks, really. If pop culture is what helped get us into this, we can use it - their own creations - to help get us out.

Imagine an ad that talks about tax day, and the time each person needs to fund the government, and intersperses that with imagery from the Matrix, or a death panel ad that uses carousel from Logan's Run? Geeks get this shit. Geeks share it, too.

They give us what they think is universally bad - so let's draw parallels to it with what they are actually doing.

457 Let's go back to what is important: chicken We were laughing about how deathrow inmates always order fried chicken as their last meal and someone called us racist. First, if they ordered steak or lobster, they would be lucky to get a hamburger patty and fish sticks. Fried chicken they can fix. Second, who doesn't love fried chicken? In fact, chicken is sweeping the UK and chicken shops, as they call them, are opening every where. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with deliciousness.

CBS News executives see Attkisson wading dangerously close to advocacy on the issue *** She will be on Face the Nation on Sunday to discuss it again.

467 459: It's racist because that's the lens the racists peer at everything through. It doesn't matter that some people believe fried chicken tastes delicious. My fellow Marines and I spent an inordinate amount of time pondering our ideal last meals (That's what grunts do when bored). Fried chicken was always a finalist. Still, consider shoe polish. It's for shoes, right? I once had a person accuse me of racial intimidation because every morning at work I polished my shoes before I put them on (I wore running shoes to and from work). The lens I peer through tells me shoes need polished to protect them and make them look good. The lens they peer through tells them that shoe polish is racial intimidation.That person probably sees a lot of things that way.

Then the Cav dragged ass getting to the fight. By the time you guys showed up, most of the Iraqis were on the highway zooming back to Baghdad. It took the fast movers to stop them.

None other than one of the famed Emanuel brothers admitted that Glenn Beck was on the cutting edge of TV with his subscription channel. I believe Waldo, above, has caught on nicely. Waldo, please 'splain to me, though, how shows are available minutes after they air. In my case, I pay (hugely) for cable for a couple AMC shows. Is it really possible to watch Mad Men, i.e., and pay per episode besides downloading it from iTunes?

I guess you haven't been paying attention to Beck. His listeners and watchers have gotten him onto, if I'm not mistaken, 9 cable services, so far.
"Glenn BeckÂ’s TheBlaze Gets Picked Up By Major New York-Area Cable Provider" http://tinyurl.com/bol2jd5 Just by making a ruckus. I gave you a link to the latest article, there are many others, it's a good strategy. And, the blaze radio network is on I heart radio now in addition to the blaze network online.

And Michael Savage won a suit which essentially is ground breaking, in all probability a game changer. "Michael Savage wins landmark case in federal court" http://tinyurl.com/bljwweu

Cable bills in large metropolitan areas are huge, just huge. And, when cable came calling, their calling card was "we are commercial free" so the subscribers who are original still remember that little claim and get annoyed each and every time they see another cable commercial. Plus verizon wireless is breathing down their necks in several markets. They have to do something to keep the bills as low as possible, provide the content and, keep the subscribers from defecting.
I just worry that Senator McCain's new model would allow them to raise the rates on many subscribers if they wanted to keep their service as it. Sure you might be able to choose your programming and maybe lower your bill, but I seriously doubt that. Instead you might end up losing access to content. Would be nice if someone introduced a bill requiring cable to lower their costs and reminding them their charters said "commercial free".
