Good Morning Morons. Today is Thursday, August 15, 2013. On this day in 1057 King Macbeth was killed at the Battle of Lumphanan by the forces of Máel Coluim mac Donnchada.

The all-out effort to knock back Hillary Clinton before a potential 2016 presidential run even materializes appears to be part of RepublicansÂ’ emerging playbook.
Poor Cankles, she is being picked on. But not a word about the fact that she gave the stand-down order in Benghazi that got the ambassador killed.

Considering the fact that mishandling ONE classified document can get you ten years in Federal PMITA prison, 90 years for mishandling 700,000 of them IS lenient.

"Unfunded liabilities".. uhh.. clue to whomever.. an "unfunded liability" is not "debt".. it is, well, an "unfunded liability"!
If you start talking about "unfunded liabilities", you must then talk about "uncollected revenues" that will offset those future liabilities.
It's like saying as soon as your baby is born, you are in debt for $250,000 because that is the cost to raise a child til they are about 18 yrs old. It is simply ridiculous.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes. I had written up a post about our current political impasse, but it was too cynical and depressing even for me. Besides, my liver is crying uncle and, since I didn’t want to wake up for a third straight morning hung over, I’m going to try to be a bit cheerier today.
I know her Imperial Majesty AtC is a Claudette Colbert fan. So this gives me an excuse to post two pictures of that delicious Frenchwoman. First, my go-to bunk picture, a studio portrait of her in a harlequin outfit:
And, as a lead in to today, here she is hitching a ride in It Happened One Night:
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and settle down for a few minutes while I tell you a story:
One day, director Frank Capra, waiting for a haircut, picked up a copy of Cosmopolitan magazine and read a story titled “Night Bus.” He thought it would make a good movie and told Columbia head Harry Cohn so. “Forget bus pictures,” Cohn said. “People don’t want ‘em. MGM and Universal just made two bus operas and they both stink.”
But Capra still thought the story had legs. In late 1933, he got together with screenwriter Robert Riskin and the two of them came up with a screenplay called It Happened One Night. “Well,” Cohn growled when he heard, “At least you took that lousy bus out of the title.” But he still didn’t care for the idea and Columbia’s executives didn’t like it either. Still, Capra pushed. At the next story conference, he put his chips on the table. “Harry, I’ve listened to all the comments. But I don’t agree with them. I like the script and I want to make it.” “All right,” Cohn finally said. “If you want to make it, that’s good enough for me.”
Now it was time to cast. For the role of feisty rich girl Ellie Andrews, Capra first approached Myrna Loy. She turned the role down. So did Margaret Sullavan, Miriam Hopkins and Constance Bennett. So Capra decided to work on the problem of the male lead, streetwise reporter Peter Warne. To his surprise, MGM loaned out Clark Gable, who was being punished for demanding more money by being sent to a “Poverty Row” studio.
With Gable attached to the picture, Cohn suddenly had a brainstorm – Claudette Colbert. “We can’t get her,” Capra said. “She’s under contract to Paramount.” “Yeah, I know,” Cohn replied, “but she’s taking a four week vacation. Anyway, I hear that French broad likes money. Why don’t you and Riskin go see her personal?”
So Capra and Riskin did. Colbert didn’t want to go to Columbia. “Paramount pays me twenty-five thousand per picture,” she told them. “You would have to double that and finish with me four weeks from today. Which you can’t. So please leave me alone.” To her surprise, Capra agreed to her terms and Colbert agreed to sign on. But, she reminded him, she was leaving for vacation on December 23.
It was now November 21, 1933.
The shooting of Night got off to a bad start. Gable was miffed at his exile and it took him a few days before he began to warm up to both his part and his co-star. As for Colbert, she argued her part nearly every day with Capra. In the famous hitchhiking scene above (where she proves her leg is more persuasive than Gable’s thumb), she refused to lift her skirt until Capra brought in a shapely chorus girl. “Get her out of here!” Colbert cried when she saw the double. “I’ll do it! That’s not my leg!” Colbert also refused to undress in front of the camera in the “walls of Jericho” scene where she and Gable separate the twin beds in a shared motel room by draping a blanket over a clothesline. She wanted, she insisted, to feature her acting and not her figure. Capra didn’t argue, because he realized her action of draping her silken scanties one by one over the blanket would produce a much sexier scene.
Shooting finished in record time. When Colbert joined her friends in Sun Valley, she snorted, “Am I glad to get here! I’ve just finished the worst picture of the year!” Privately, Columbia executives agreed with her; they thought the picture was too long and wanted it cut. “Whatta ya say, Frank?” Cohn asked. “I’m sick of it, Harry,” Capra sighed. “Ship it!”
So Cohn did. And to everyone’s surprise, Night was a huge hit with critics and audiences. With the Oscars, too – in 1935, it won Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Screenplay and Best Director. Columbia, to Harry Cohn’s pleasure, was now one of the big boys.
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

I am seeing it in the food pantry I work at, and Jean (I think) said that she is seeing an increase in white lower middle class, as opposed to Hispanics.
May morons don't realize how hard this has been on that group. Unemployment, reduced hours, higher paydowns in Medicaid, high fuel and food prices, and the prospect for higher utility bills when the EPA regs go into effect.
Add to that the prospect of an early, long, and cold winter (as Joe Bastardi is predicting) and this is a recipe for misery and desperation.
And these are not people who write letters to the editor. These are the people that will beat up an OFA organizer.

You miss the point.. the dollar amount is irrelevant. The point is, you cannot say you are in "debt" for that full amount. You'll be responsible for it, yes. But you will pay it out over xx years from the incomes you receive those years.

Of course CNN's narrative is CrAcKdOwN by the big bad Army and Police on the hapless Muslim Bro-hood legit Democratic Front and the reporters are all standing right there with the MBs and getting their side of the story, giving interviews to only the most reasonable and/or hysterical. But they've never said why the MBs messed up so bad the Army and Police took them down.

Reminds me of some Kipling. And what day isn't better with some Kipling?
When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier ~of~ the Queen!

Friends of mine went (ended up in overnight jail near Binghamton), but I couldn't. My band had a job, and I had to work.
That was always the Dead's comment on the Summer of Love. They missed it, because they had a steady gig in L.A. and couldn't afford to go galavanting off.
To me the real cultural significance wasn't what happened in the rain, but the way a planned "biggest evah" kumbayah singalong of only 50,000 blew up in their faces, and then they turned a near-catastrophe into a cultural touchstone with PR. And, the promoters went bust. Kind of prophetic.
It wasn't just "folk" festivals that went all to shit in that era. Both Indianapolis and Watkins Glen were unattendable for several years due to mud sliding with broken bottles, burning buses, and so on. We didn't lose our "minds," as it were; just our manners, the ability to co-exist with a couple hundred thousand fellow citizens for a day or two. Maybe Mr "Bowling Alone" could do a book on that.

Don't assume, Vic. The doc can't charge you if he gives you info over the phone... well, he can, but he wants/needs to bill you for the in-office consult.
Go in, and don't expect anything, one way or the other, but be prepared to ask questions. Write them down ahead of time if you need to.

It's always been true that recruiters will take anybody with a pulse, and will actively lie to both the recruit and the military about what/who it is they are hanging around Uncle Sam's neck.
Once upon a time though, these reprobates would be weeded out early, and the damage could be limited (not completely though, as anyone with a general or above discharge is eligible for VA benefits).
Two things happened: 1. The global WoT, and 2. The media's push to get the government to take the "you broke it, you bought it" mentality regarding dysfunctional recruits, from basic training, on through to the rest of their lives.
The scary part is, there are many many many more Snowdens and Mannings out there, waiting to bust through.

That was the year of the Blizzard. We had to survive on what food we had in the house, as you couldn't get out. It was incredibly cold and people died.
That was the beginning of Carter's plummeting poll numbers, and by the time the hostage crisis started people were demoralized and thinking the US was done.
Then, of all things, the US Hockey Team ignited patriotism with their win, and in my opinion contributed to the election of Ronald Reagan. I still remember my thinking as someone who grew up in a yellow dog democrat household: "I am voting for Reagan. He can't be any worse and at least he isn't embarrassing and depressing."
I have never voted democrat since. Not even for dog catcher.

Kipling RULES. In high school we had to memorize and "act out" a poem in theater class, and I was torn between "The Raven" and "Gunga Din." In the end I went with "The Raven," since I'm pretty sure "Gunga Din" would have gotten me sent to "sensitivity training." *rolling eyes*
Though I belted you and flayed you,
By the living God that made you
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.
*sigh* LOVE LOVE LOVE that poem. LOVE.

Well, I do like generalizations, so...
I think it's generally true that most of the slackers end up in the Air Force, but the Army gets more than its share of them. People sign up, thinking they have a steady paycheck, or it gets them away from their rotten home environment. Whatever the reason, recruiters fill quotas, and they will take anybody and everybody. Hence, lots of really bad recruits who don't last long. Or they do, and they are a cancer on whatever unit gets stuck with them.
Then if you send them into a hot zone, it gets... ugly.
I don't know about the Navy though, I hate boats.

And this looked out over the sunken family room with orange, gold, and avocado shag carpeting, dark paneled ceilings, a wagon-wheel light fixture, a triple patio window in aluminum with turquoise and green striped burlap drapes.
My dad helped me remove that shag carpeting the summer of 1981. Our daughter was a toddler and every Cheerio she dropped went into the carpet, and only resurfaced by flying up when I vacuumed, only to disappear into the shag again.
We hauled it out and it unrolled when we were dragging it into the garage, so it got stuck. (My husband had gone on a business trip to Canada). I had made an executive decision to buy carpet at Sears and thought to save money by doing the old carpet removal ourselves. HA! I heard about that for years from my dad.

It can't be both.

I bought my house because it had a front porch and the first thing I bought was two rocking chairs.
After we had been here 8 years wifey got a wild hair and extended the dining room and now the front porch is so small I have to turn my rocking chair sideways.
Grrrrrr

Well a bit off the topic but I am leaving shortly to pick up the granddaughter and head to the humane society. It's been 3 months since we lost our dog and I feel it's time to at least see what's out there. However I don't think this one is on my list............................

TFG has one hell of a Rodeo Clown Car fleet.
No need to insult rodeo clowns- brave men who risk there lives to save others.

Ok, I think we're splitting hairs and arguing semantics again (not that I'm anti-semantic, mind you), but I'm thinking strictly on the matter of the Coast Guard NOT being part of the Department of Defense.
They can call themselves a service branch if they like, and it appears they DO like, but they're not part of the defense department, which to me matters more than anything else. In the past, the defense department would bring them in when necessary, but it probably won't ever happen again, due to the Homeland Security business.

Barky The Rodeo Clown has a kind of a transcendent image potential.
Talk about a tossed turd sticking to the wall.

It has been extended as far as possible with the roof line and it is still too small.

I need to get a test for H. pylori bacteria which I get to pay for out of my own pocket (if the moths who live in there will let me), then try to pay for the treatment.
What sucks is that I have to give up my omeprazole for two weeks so I don't get a false negative result. I am not looking forward to that.

Who is was the manufacturer, distributor, and seller of the mask? They should have known it would be misused. They should be held accountable.

A "close relative" was a SERE instructor in Pike Forest, IYGWIM, and an Academy athlete. One time we had a match at Coast Guard's Academy, arrived in the dark before reveille, and one whole year was out swimming in the surf. In November.
When I hear "Hi, I'm Jeremy, and I'll be your rescue swimmer today," I am not going to ask "Are you sure you're real military?" Because big-balled as I am reputed to be, I don't have the balls to ask that.

The big problem with the poor right now is that they do not realize that a single person cannot make enough to support themselves. We've been trending for years towards needing two people to make a living.
We could use our stepson's help, but he thinks that he can make it on his own. So he's been struggling in part time jobs, trying to make $600 a month in rent on minimum wage. I know people in this area paying$300-400 a month to rent a single room in a house.
If we had intact families, we could get through this. But we don't, and it's going to get much worse.

In the land of double posts you ask that question?
