Happy Wednesday.

Iowahawk found something from last month that, well, let's say it's right in line with the NOM thing Ace posted yesterday: EPA acknowledged releasing personal details on farmers to environmental groups. Just a coincidence, surely.

Aurora shooter James Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity yesterday. Next comes the psych eval and, after that, a jury trial.

President Obama's favorables are headed back down to where they were during the Shellacking of 2010. They were also that low during the special election of Sen. Scott Brown.

There's a new 15-minute featurette on Man of Steel. Really looking forward to this movie.

You are welcome. Speaking of inspiration, this PJMedia piece suggests some folks at the WH that need to be questioned over the IRS targeting. Most notable is the former Chief Counsel, Robert Bauer.

30 Re: That Michelle Obama piece in the Daily Mail, the gay activist crowd are really some of the most miserable losers out there. This lady had to hide who she is to get employment. Well honey, let me break it to you softly. Judging by your picture, you were never doing a very good job hiding your sexuality. Also, hiding it or not, nobody cares. Lastly, I somewhat support her push to have gays added to the Federal list of special snowflakes who can't be discriminated against, aka, the favored groups list. As a straight white male, I could never land a Federal contract, with this I could apply with a memo attached saying ohbtw, I love teh cock. As long as they don't make me prove it, I'm gold.

Morning, Horde.  While weÂ’re waiting for Vic, letÂ’s talk Hollywood.

 

 

IÂ’ve just picked up an interesting (if densely written) book called Hollywood Before Glamour: Fashion in American Silent Film.  It reads more like a doctoral thesis than a film book, so I wouldnÂ’t recommend it to the newbie.  But since I have a thing about 1910s fashion, itÂ’s right up my alley.  So with that, here are three short silent stories:

 

 

First, we visit the legendary director D.W. Griffith.  He was famous for not using a shooting script, keeping the entire story in his head.  But at the same time, he knew exactly the performance he wanted from his actors and wasnÂ’t above pushing them aside to act a scene the way he wanted them to do it.  Of course, at other times, he simply told them what to do – one day, while directing Dorothy Gish in a light romantic comedy, he said,“Now, honey, when you open that telegram and learn that your husbandÂ’s coming back to you, you get so excited that you pee a ring around yourself.”

 

 

Lewis J. Selznick, the father of director / producer David O. Selznick, never forgot the persecution he suffered as a Jew in Tsarist Russia.  But he also managed to keep a sense of humor about the whole thing.  When he heard that Nicholas II had been overthrown, he sent a cable to the deposed autocrat:  WHEN I WAS A POOR BOY IN KIEV SOME OF YOUR POLICEMEN WERE NOT KIND TO ME AND MY PEOPLE STOP I CAME TO AMERICA AND PROSPERED STOP NOW HEAR WITH REGRET YOU ARE OUT OF A JOB OVER THERE STOP FEEL NO ILL WILL WHAT YOUR POLICEMEN DID SO IF YOU WILL COME NEW YORK CAN GIVE YOU FINE POSITION ACTING IN PICTURES STOP SALARY NO OBJECT STOP REPLY MY EXPENSE STOP REGARDS YOU AND FAMILY.

 

 

And finally, letÂ’s take a quick trip to 1924, to watch the Aileen Pringle movie Three Weeks.  Adapted from the Elinor Glyn* story about a queen who runs off to spend three weeks of passion with a titled Englishman, the movie drew good crowds and excellent reviews. . .except from the Deaf and Dumb Society, who noticed something that had escaped other viewers.  In one scene, when co-star Conrad Nagle picks her up with a tender look on his face, her lips are saying, “If you drop me, you cocksucker, IÂ’ll break your neck!”

 

 

HereÂ’s a picture of Dorothy Gish: http://tinyurl.com/md6x959

 

 

And hereÂ’s Aileen Pringle in Three Weeks: http://tinyurl.com/kmvp5qv

 

 

ThatÂ’s it for me.  Hope you all have a wonderful day.

 

 

*Glyn, a pompous Englishwoman with an excellent command of publicity, was famous for her bodice-ripping potboilers.  Think of her as the Jackie Collins of her day.

I was searching the Inet for flame fired oil heaters (for the next segment of the resin plant) and came across this little gem. I always wanted a flame thrower (and a tank, a couple of Ma Duece, recoiless rifle or two-104 mm, in super size and an F-10 jet, but that's another story for another day). They sell flame throwers. I am buying 2. Matching flame throwers for the wife and I (hers will be pink, mine will be black). When I get back to Texas I will be burning fire ant hills and "crazy ant " domains into oblivion. I hate ants! Have you heard about those "crazy ants" down there in Texas?. They like to nest up in your computer or electrical outlets, eventually killing them. (Like I didn't have enough stuff to worry about)! Geez! Hence the flame thrower! I'm not going to fry them in my computer or in the house but I will toast them in the ground! Ah, the smell of burning ants in the morning, it smells like victory I tells ya! Be the first one on your block to get one! I bet it scares the hell, out of Jack Booted, Obama Nazi's and their minions! Just think of the reaction of the IRS at "gummit- I hate your political beliefs", IRS audits..when you and the wife stroll out with your tax forms and dueling flame throwers. Its like dueling guitars, one a lefty, one a righty, that has to be an incredulous (and Oh Chit, over reach moment) sight to behold. Flame on dudes! Burn it down! Let it burn!

130 Further regarding the IRS investigation: I believe we should follow the common practice of Democrats on these sort of things when it is corporations have done wrong (dumping toxic waste, etc.): We always *only* investigate the worker bees who did the deed, and always automatically absolve the executives (unless somehow evidence gets dropped magically in our lap which we cannot ignore). To do otherwise is ovverreaching. Incindentally, I'm really looking forward to Eric Holder's DOJ prosecuting for financial fraud an executive who the Sarbanes-Oxley Act made to sign financial data--because the signature is the indication "you knew", right? Open and shut, that's what we want, right? I think Democrats were really big on that signature as accountability thing for Sarbanes-Oxley. Really big.

OK folks, just catching up (having some tuckpointing done today.  And by some, I mean an entire two story chimney.)

 

Anyway, on Mooch's article linked above.  The feds are discriminating against Gays and Lesbians?  How do they know?  Is copulation now a part of the federal contracting process?  If so, do the feds only want people don't actually like being anally probed?

 

There were at least reasonable arguments that you could guess race based on a name.  I was unaware the same applied to sexual orientation.

(I know it's just more people wanting "special status."  It's remarkable, I need to find something to get myself some "special status" before it's too late and all the good ones are taken.)

Although he defeated McGovern by a landslide and probably beat Saint JFK except for the cheating, he was never really popular with people because he was such a weird person.  He certainly wasn't a doctrinaire conservative and did as almost as much to expand the scope of government as LBJ.  Wage and price controls might have been the most economically daft program ever; well pre JEF.

208 On steroids and other performance enhancing drugs.

Essentially All professional athletes are doing steroids. While there may be some absolute genetic freak somewhere sitting on the end of the bench who isn't doing steroids - the people actually playing are - at least by the way a normal person would judge the phrase "doing steroids".

This is one of those Bill Clinton definition of "is" things. You see there is some semantics involved: we think "doing steroids" means injecting yourself with steroids - but if you look up the rules in the professional sports leagues you will discover that the technical definition of "doing steroids" means that the testosterone ratios of the person are more than four times that of an average male.

They have to do that because there is variation in those testosterone ratios naturally - the ratio of 4:1 was selected so as to not penalize people who have naturally high ratios - otherwise some people would fail drug tests when they had done nothing.

As a result pro athletes dose themselves up near to the 4:1 ratio - as long as they are careful to not go over that line - they are considered "not doing steroids" by the rules. When somebody screws up their dosages and goes over the 4:1 line they "have a positive drug test".

When I first heard the rat bastard was going for the "affirmative defense" I figured he'd at least hedge and claim he was defending the "innocent lives" of civilians caught up in the war. (We can debate the veracity of that until the cows come home, my point is someone, somewhere would be drawn to that as a defense, and not a radical islamist BRIM necessarily.)

By claiming the affirmative defense of protecting the Taliban (our enemy, no?) isn't his "affirmative defense" just "well I committed treason?"

241 By claiming the affirmative defense of protecting the Taliban (our enemy, no?) isn't his "affirmative defense" just "well I committed treason?" Yes, it is. Now, he is also claiming that he was defending the lives of their women and children (wait- weren't two of the victims a pregnant woman and her yet-to-be-born child?). The real problem with his defense is that it typically requires the alleged victim to be in imminent danger. You can't say, "I killed that man because it looked like he was going to beat his wife, and I knew he'd beat her in the past" (however justified such a killing might be). There has to be the imminent danger: "I killed him because he was beating his wife, and I feared for her life." So... he's probably not going to get to present that "defense" at all. But it would be really funny if he did.

One of the prongs of that test is you must take the minimal action possible to accomplish your goal, killing random people (some of whom were never going to be deployed) doesn't meet that bar by at stretch of the imagination.

So which is better, that the Gov't and UAW keep those shares of stock, or that they sell them so private investors can buy them again? So, in a way that makes me angry all over again at the GM Bailout. But I was already angry about the GM Bailout (I was actually thinking about it this morning, too), so it doesn't move the needle all that much.

313 True but false.The loans were paid back, the stock investments (which far outstripped the loans) never were.It was an accounting trick basically.

Ahhhhh, so the same crew of dirtbags who are always complaining about accounting gimmicks being used to mislead people are doing exactly that?  Good to know.

I'm not condoning Michelle's actions in any way, but lemme get this straight (pardon the pun): You're heckling, interrupting, and making a general idiot of yourself, and you expect everyone else to treat you nicely and with respect?

315 I think the lesbian protester as shocked to get such an aggressive pushback from a fellow traveler. It was insane to heckle Michell at the fundraiser - what's the point? - but she probably thought she'd get something closer to Barack's recent response to Medea Benjamin, "This is a voice we should listen to...."

Compare how Michelle reacted to how Bush 43 has reacted to heckling (shoe throwing, Code Pink, or even the Dixie Chicks "controversy") - would he ever get up in someone's face or say something ugly in the press as a response? No. But Michelle, our supposed tolerant, loving, mom-in-chief turned on a dime, the mask slipped.

Ann Coulter came and spoke at my college a year or so after 9/11. Right when the debate over "racial profiling" was going strong. Lots of protesters. Interruptions. General ridiculousness. At one point, one guy gets up and (as he's literally jogging for the door) yells out "I'm muslim! Profile me, bitch!" Crowd stunned, Coulter starts laughing. "Well, there's a future Dem nominee for office." That's how you handle a heckler.

319 An assessment of the conservative IRS witnesses yesterday, for the benefit of them that heed it, left and right: Here is the most salient point of yesterday's Tea Party and NOM witnesses--these people were not intimidated, they did not trim, nor did not bloviate and spew spittle. In short, they weren't politicians. They were middle class citizens. The modern yeomanry, educated, reasonably reasonable, responsible in their daily lives. If folks left or right think these folks are going to be told to just live with the double standards and contempt because brute political force demands it, because elites and academics and the press despise them, well, I'll tell you exactly what I saw yesterday-- The *literal* descendants of the Minutemen, reasonable in the mass. My guess is that they don't take the double standards forever, especially if the system clearly tries to make wrong right because the system has the votes to do so, because it is not in their blood to do so. It simply isn't. They are the descendents of free-born Englishmen (even if they don't have a drop of English blood in them, because they are inheritors of the birthright). They'll stand for those rights. These people don't care about the narrative at the end of tne day. They aren't calculating politicos. They are not going to trim the way a pol does because the WaPo is out to get him. They are a significant portion of the middle class, they are not being respected by their national government, certainly not by our national institutions, and they have a right to object. The press can intimidate politicos all it wants. It can't intimidate these folks, because they are not going to surrender all sense of self-worth and dignity because of the demands of the New York Times. They can't. They simply do not believe what the Left believes, they have an *absolute* right to do so, and in many ways they are far more "normal", in the mass. These are bulwarks of a society. Not the only ones, but they are bulwarks in their own right, and they know it. They simply are not going to live by the rules of politics as politicians live by it. Voter suppression tactics as used against Republican elected officials ("overreach") is simply going to make these more common folks really start thinking hard when it is used against them. The systemic bias of outright double standards we have right now is simply only going to infuriate these folks even more and drive them to greater action. And then...who knows. Who knows.

When do they stop teaching this in school?

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness..... "

321 @ 300, Allen G, The IRS does have to keep receipts? Can some one verify this? If so, I am appalled. I am outraged! I had to save every GD receipt for decades. Some of the receipts faded (bad ink) but I wrote the pertinent stuff in pen on the receipt. I guess that doesn't count with gummit nazi's. I can't wait for the next audit. Most were CC charges so I do have that..another paper trail. Evil twin Yells to wife.."Hey hon, when are those flame throwers arriving?" How do like your jack booted nazi's cooked ? I like mine well done and crispy.

323 I love how folks buy into the lefty descriptions of Nixon. He was in fact popular, especially when he was VP. The "weird person" stuff is all lefty propaganda.

I absolutely despised Nixon, but a few years ago, decided that maybe everything I'd been told about him was lies, like most of what I'd been told by the Left. Yes, he wasn't a conservative and I still don't agree with a lot of his policies. I'd recommend reading up a bit about him, and try to find unbiased books.

324 Shorter version: Folks are going to try--have tried--to play the tricks they play with politicians on a large number of citizens, and a disaster is going to be the very likely result, because those people spoke from the heart yesterday, in a forthright manner. Whereas I might have trimmed. Don't think so, but I might have. This tells me they are not going to accept second-class citizen status because of the dictates of "social justice".

If you and your friend's assertion is that every single MLB player dopes right up to the line with testosterone and only those who screw up their dosages are the ones who get caught, then your both full of it.

I've got buddies that played in the bigs.

I've got buddies who work for the orgs and who are involved in the business at various levels.

Full. Of. It.

Look up the rules - see if I'm lying.


My older brother was a one in 10,000,000 athlete - in 1960 (without roids) at a body size of 5'11" and a weight of 185 he benched 315. He also ran a 5:00 flat mile and took a silver medal in the AAU nationals in the novice devision on the high bar.  Today that kind of power to weight ratio wouldn't get you anywhere near the field in any sort of sport - even at the college level - let alone at the pro level.

In the 1950's Steve Reeves was an absolute genetic freak - maybe one person in a billion could look like him from weight lifting. Today he wouldn't get near the platform in a state level body building contest - hell there are guys on your local swat team that big.

Do you think that human genetics - which has held pretty steady for 100,000 years has suddenly changed in the last 60 years? Sorry, steroids are everywhere - even at the high school level.

If that's aimed at me you couldn't be more wrong on where I'm coming from.  I lived through everything that was going on at the time and had the ability to filter out the lefty horseshit.  Nixon expanded government just as fucking much as the commiecrats did.  And he was a fucking retard on the economy, continuing the inflation that LBJ started.  Yes he was president at a time when everything was going to hell.  And if you noted, I pointed out that Saint JFK's piece of shit father helped steal the election in 1960 away from him.  But don't let how fucked up his enemies were con you into thinking he was some poor misunderstood genius.  Other than trying to win the war in Viet Nam honorably (particularly given the fucking mess that JFK and LBJ left him with; not to mention a gutless Congress) and opening the door to relations with China I can't think of a single positive thing he did.
