AoSHQ Podcast: Taking The Week Off
— andy

We had CAC lined up to guest with us this week and talk about early polling and election prognostications, then everyone got too busy to actually record the thing. So, in true AoSHQ fashion, we put it off until next week.

In the meantime, feel free to listen to an a episode from the archives, and I'll answer a few Moron Mailbag questions.

James writes: "Thanks very much for the podcasts, they're great fun. When you post the file, would you also please post it in pieces, maybe 30-40 minutes each? My connection is spotty enough that the longer files invariably error out at some point during the download."

A: Have you tried streaming it with Stitcher? Also, let me know in the comments how common this issue is. It's easy enough to split the file, but that's one more thing to have to do.

Buzzsaw90 asks: Doesn't the CBO report prove that Obama is another (better) Lincoln? Which president has emancipated more slaves from the chains of work they did not wish to do?

A: Lincoln is clearly a mere speck of the greatness that is Barack Hussein Obama, 44th President of the United States. Also, asking this question is racist.

Emile says: I've noticed Gabe acting as the official timekeeper.What, if anything, is standing in the way of more or longer podcasts? I know you guys are busy but if it's a matter of hitting the tipjar it would be worth it for me.

A: See the lead above. I'd love to post podcast every day, but keeping it topical means recording one every day too (as opposed to pre-recording a bunch of audio and dribbling it out, I mean) and that's not happening. We can barely get together to record one a week as it is. That said, hitting the tipjar for the Head Ewok is never a bad idea.

We also got lots and lots of election-related questions, which we'll queue up for CAC next week. Thanks for listening and for sending all the questions, comments and even occasional compliments.

1 Hey, did anyone notice on the last Justified episode that Nick Searcy, noted AOSHQ moron, was listening to Rush Limbaugh on his stakeout right at the beginning of the episode?

28 From last thread. Here's hoping you never have to use it to defend yourself. The cops will seize it and you will most likely never see it again. Posted by: EC at February 07, 2014 02:51 PM (GQ8sn) Nothing on the 57 is illegal, so seizure would be out of the question unless I was not in NC. The cops might have gun envy, but they can't just take it.

They can, and they will. It will then either get lost in Evidence, or be "accidentally" destroyed.

Their having a legal authority to do so is a different matter all together.

Feel free to reference the many reports and YouTube videos of Law Enforcement Officers doing all sorts of things that they "can't do".

I have a good friend who had his gun confiscated during a burglary investigation. It was his legally. The cop said he had to take it for "processing". Then it was up to my buddy to try to claim it back when the investigation was over. They dorked him around for a few months, then it was "accidentally destroyed". It's common practice for the cops to take your guns when you're under investigation for any type of shoot, legit or not. Good luck getting them back.

63 It's common practice for the cops to take your guns when you're under investigation for any type of shoot, legit or not. Good luck getting them back. Another one the cops love to do is to fingerprint your gun and keep it in a locker that's not climate controlled. Fingerprint powder is caustic and over a period of months will damage the weapon. Not to mention what can happen in a dank locker. When you get it back it's cheaper to destroy and get a new one than to try to restore it.

112 From the Daily Mail (because the US MFM will ignore it)

In the latest blunder for an Obama administration ambassadorial nominee, prolific Democratic campaign fundraiser Noah Mamet admitted Thursday that he has never been to Argentina Â– the nation where he wants to represent U.S. interests as America's top diplomat.

Mamet's embarrassing showing comes after a similar face-palm moment from George Tsunis in January who told Arizona Sen. John McCain that he, too, had never visited the country where he asked to be posted.

'Mr. Tsunis, have you been to Norway?' McCain asked.

'I have not,' Tsunis admitted.

The prize for ambassadorial cluelessness, though, may go to Colleen Bell, an Obama bundler who put $800,000 in play for Democrats. She's trading in her work as producer of the soap opera 'The Bold and the Beautiful' to become ambassador to Hungary.

Asked by McCain to describe America's strategic interests in that nation, she launched into a rambling response worthy of a teen beauty pageant contestant.

Faced with a tough question last week during his confirmation hearing about Chinese military provocation against Japan in the East China Sea, (Max) Baucus said plainly, 'I'm no expert on China.'

While on one hand I understand the desire for independence, on the other the details don't seem to have been fully explained by the pro-independence side. Also, it's being led by the socialist left (Labor Party) which dominates Scotland politics.

It's pretty fascinating. Even though support is only at about 40% for the time being, the independence side seems to be gaining steam.

Got a convenience store nearby? Get a gallon or two of bleach, and pour on the treads of your car's drive wheels. It makes the rubber very sticky, and traction improves a lot. Old drag racers' trick.

216 CUPERTINO, Calif.Â— Apple Inc. has bought $14 billion of its own shares in the two weeks since reporting financial results that disappointed Wall Street, Chief Executive Tim Cook said in an interview.

Mr. Cook said Apple was "surprised" by the 8% decline in its shares on Jan. 28, the day after it reported lower iPhone sales than projected and warned that revenue in the current quarter might decline from the same period a year ago. Mr. Cook said he wanted to be "aggressive" and "opportunistic."

With the latest purchases, Mr. Cook said Apple had bought back more than $40 billion of its shares over the past 12 months, which Mr. Cook said was a record for any company over a similar span.

"It means that we are betting on Apple. It means that we are really confident on what we are doing and what we plan to do," said Mr. Cook, speaking in a conference room at the company's corporate headquarters here. "We're not just saying that. We're showing that with our actions."

242 Only a few days ago Russia threatened to quit the START talks as the U.S. deployed an Aegis anti-ballistic missile ship to Spain. All on the back pages, yet taken together one can adventure the thought that a comprehensive failure has overtaken the foreign policy of Barack Obama. The irony is that Obama campaigned on the platform of Â“smart diplomacy.Â” But as things have turned out, he was smart only in his own mind.

Under his watch the 70-year-old Pax Americana has fallen apart. Al-Qaeda has flourished. President Benigno Aquino of the Philippines caught the tone of rising concern when he warned, in an interview with the New York Times, that China was doing to Southeast Asia what Nazi Germany did to Central Europe in the late 1930s. Â“At what point do you say, Â‘Enough is enoughÂ’? Well, the world has to say it Â— remember that the Sudetenland was given in an attempt to appease Hitler to prevent World War II.Â”

But you wouldnÂ’t know it for the panegyrics still being sung by the mainstream media. To read some papers you would think the worldÂ’s biggest problem was gay rights at the Sochi Olympics.

The Sudetenland? Things are not as bad as that yet. But the operative word is Â“yet.Â” Someone Â— perhaps the elders of the Democratic Party Â— have got to put some competence back in the White House. Someone needs to stop the rot. An administration too inept to roll out a website; too obtuse to do much more than watch a US consulate burned by Â— dare we say it? Â— video protesters Â— such an administration may be overmatched in a contest of brinksmanship with a rival nuclear power.

Barack Obama is in trouble and so are we all. ItÂ’s time to stop the Happy Talk and for Republicans and Democrats to face the facts. The emperor has no clothes.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 07, 2014 03:23 PM (pFqpP) ------------------------- No. To be sure, there's a long tradition of giving political donors ambassadorships, but the process is selective. For sensitive, critical jobs, you send knowledgeable pros, not donors. For mostly ceremonial ones in plum locations with a big, professional support staff ---Paris, anyone?--- you send a donor, but one who knows French and how to eat escargot. For donors who are twits and can't speak a foreign language, you've always got assignments like Barbados and San Marino, which are great places to live and of no importance whatsoever.

It was epic, but the guy who ran the site for which it was produced never posted it. It exists only in my memory, and the memory of the poster Deseeded, who used to come here once in a while. He was there. Nearly a fistfight at halftime, definitely some shoving.
