Those who turn away from fighting evil need to be aware, that the notion of evil as dark is actually the opposite of the truth. Evil is so bright, that people can't stare at it with their eyes. It's blinding; so people look at other things. Instead of fighting evil, they fight carbon emissions.
-- Dennis Prager
The International Passions of Barrack Obama
In the years since his election, Obama has reacted strongly to only three international issues: climate change, gay rights, and Libya. The first two are pet issues of the Left. As for Obama's enthusiasm about invading Libya . . . well, that continues to mystify me. Obama's silence has been most pointed and damaging when it comes to naturally occurring democratic movements within a despotic state.
The weekly 10% EPA-mandated Cuteness
New topics added to the List of Topics Not to Be Discussed in Public:
- Monica Lewinsky
- Details of Bill and Hillary's marriage
- Any Clinton scandal
If you're a member of the media be sure and update your self-censor to the latest version by Friday.
Also do not talk about this either.
Always Descending Over the US But Fascism's Landing Strips Are Always in Europe
But hey it's not like Nazis are marching in Paris...oh wait never mind.
...people debating the issue of a resurgent anti-Semitism would resort in good faith to the reassuring remark that "after all, Nazis were not marching in Paris."Since the Jour de Colère rally, even die-hard optimists must recognize that this is no longer true. Nazis are marching in Paris, unchecked.
Postmodern Nazis, to be sure: no brown shirts. But Nazis nevertheless - nazis who relish in anti-Jewish paranoia and are eager to spread it everywhere.
Radical politics usually develop when classic politics fail. According to an Ipsos/Steria poll published on January 21 by Le Monde, 8% of the French - only 8%! - trust the political parties. Only 23% trust their National Assembly representatives. Trade unions do not fare much better: 31%. Nor does the judiciary, at 46%.
Real confidence starts only with local powers: 63% of the French trust their mayors. The increase culminates with such last-resort players as the police and the army, credited, respectively, with a 73% and a 79% confidence rate.
Okay maybe these aren't your grandfather's Nazis but they are nationalistic, love socialism, hate Jews, and have excellent color-coordination.
German Union Threatens Tennessee Jobs
A German union representative on VW's board is threatening to withhold any further development in the South for the Tennessee workers not going along with the union program that their betters have chosen for them.
For 16 years, she and her husband, Stephen Briggs, have owned and operated a teacher supply store, Ergadoo, in Springfield.They love their business, and it's making money, but they are shutting it down this week.
Why? They say the state of Illinois has made it too difficult to operate.
It's a painful decision for the couple who founded the store 16 years ago.
..."Five years ago, we received a sales tax audit from the state, and they said we were doing things just fine. And then we were audited again this year. And we were told we were doing things wrong. We can't operate if we don't know what the rules are."For 10 days last month, a state auditor camped out at their store - sitting at one of those tiny little children's tables - reviewing three months of receipts.
And that's where the problem began.
You see, Ergadoo is the sort of business that has many nonprofits as customers - schools, churches, nurseries.
Those types of organizations don't have to pay sales taxes.
So, teachers, church secretaries and principals often come in bearing letters from the Illinois Department of Revenue declaring their organizations' sales tax exemptions.
Clause and her husband dutifully record the transaction - along with their tax exemption number.
Sounds good, right?
Well, no. The Revenue Department says that's not good enough.
Clause said the Revenue Department told her it's her store's responsibility to determine where the customer's money comes from.
"How am I supposed to prove if someone comes in with a $20 bill and a tax-exempt letter whether that money is from a school's petty cash fund or someplace else? I can't. No one can," Clause said.
Fast forward to an $8,000 tax bill on all the sales to people with tax-emption letters that the Briggs can't absolutely prove are truly tax-exempt and you can see why they're shutting down.
The Next Time They Say 9mm is an Inefficient Round.
You can call in the torso of one of the teens that Michael Dunn shot as an expert witness.
Arrow at lower left corner indicates point of entry. I guess the bullet is the one in the circles.That is like what? Over 15 inches of soft tissue? That is not a shabby performance for an allegedly "poodle shooter" round.
Update: Andrew Branca points out in the comments: "that 15? of penetration diagonally through Jordan Davis thoracic cavity? That was AFTER first punching through both sides of an SUV door."
So my Tivo decided I would like the show Key & Peele on Comedy Central. And you know what - it was right. Here K&P do their version of Shakespeare.
Ashton Kutcher Gets a Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Okay Ashton Kutcher is guy I really want to hate...but honestly he hasn't done anything to merit it and in fact by most accounts he seems like a decent enough guy who's a better person than most of his Hollywood peers. So while he continually frustrates my gut spite I've come to grudgingly admire his non-assholiness.
Kutcher has been training with MMA badass Rigan Machado ... and last night in Beverly Hills, the "Two and a Half Men" star was promoted to a "two stripe blue belt" -- which means he's spent hundreds of hours on the mat learning all sorts of new techniques.
Also in the house ... UFC fighters Josh Barnett and Cub Swanson. It appears Barnett was promoted to an instructor level.
Oh and guess what other Hollywood actor has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Ed O'Neill AKA Al Bundy that's who.
After being introduced to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by his friend writer/director John Milius, O'Neill has trained in the martial art for 22 years under the mentoring of Rorion Gracie. In December 2007, O'Neill received his black belt. In the 2011 TV documentary I Am Bruce Lee, O'Neill states that he considers getting his black belt "the greatest achievement of my life, apart from my children."

Before you get overly impressed, that "15 inches of penetration" was through the lungs, hence 15 inches of penetration through not much more than air.

Married With Children at least deserves credit for being very anti-PC and anti-left, especially for the time. They were always lampooning feminists, the Clintons, etc... I watched it when I was younger but when I think about it now, I'm shocked that some of those jokes were allowed to air on TV.

I had a vaguely analogous situation where we hired a contractor to do our kitchen and later found out that he may have spent as much time in courtrooms as he did on jobsites.
There are all these confusing procedural things, and general opacity, and -- in my case -- a complete loathing of the fetid swamp of patronage and cronyism that passes for a "judicial system" around here [....or, come to think of it, "government" -- except the local building codes guys, they're champs!]......it really makes it challenging to effectively do anything. But miscreants who repeatedly abuse the system get feel like they're on "home turf."
Looking at the job board at his shop, and making assumptions about lengths of jobs, it appeared that one-out-of-seven of his

I think flipping them over was the preferred tactic, since their level-flight mechanism was a simple pendulum, and rolling the V1 inverted put it in a situation from which the autopilot could not recover.
They also used DeHavilland Mosquitoes for interdicting V1's.

IIRC, children have a certain "language period" where they pick up their native tongue -- something like between two and five.....any parent can feel free to correct me here.
Anyhoo, the funny thing is, researchers found that kids can also pick up another language at the same time....or two other languages.....or even more -- and it didn't slow down the learning of their primary language or anything. The only catch? Each person they knew had to use one language consistently. So if the parents spoke English, the grandparents Chinese, the playground kids French, and shopkeepers Urdu -- the kid could learn them all simultaneously just as fast as a kid learning only one language.

187 Evening morons. Done more looking and asking about rifles this week. Any experiences and opinions about Browning A bolts and X bolts?
I used to own, before the tragic boating accident, an A Bolt Stainless Stalker in 7mm Rem Mag. It shoots, er, used to shoot 1/2 groups. It has, er, had the BOSS muzzle adjustment. The best rifle I've ever owned.

Funniest thing I've heard in a while was Dennis Miller on the O'Baxter Factor tonight. He said he didn't know if Biden was real or just hallucinated himself into our consciousness.
Think about that: a self-hallucination, a causal loop of insanity. Biden is a hallucination of himself who hallucinated himself into being. Brilliant.

If cops really have to be *that* paranoid, and have *that* much of a hair trigger to safely do their jobs with less risk, then I think they should just drop the pretense completely.
I think there's a mass neurosis going on in law enforcement, and it needs to be dialed back stat.

Cheap shit you buy because it's cheap.
Local sporting good store had a 'sale.' Ten bucks for a stupid BRAND NAME knife and mini-LED flash light combo.
The package has an MSRP of $50. Yeah, complete BS, but damn - the knife didn't fold in half when I tested it out, and the light is bright enough for a palm-sized LED.

That they laugh about how BeNeLux doctors kill the handicapped (including those who can lead a happy and wonderful life) as being to big deal because their parents though offing their kid was spiffy, and most infuriating.
That schmuck further declares that one has a "right to die" and how dare anyone interfere with a guardians power to exercise the "right" by proxy by committing homicide.

There is some nuance there, Hat -- despite a great huge reluctance to concede the slightest anything to a barking-mad death-cult. There was a movie I recall slightly -- something like "The Adventures of Waldo Pepper" -- where there is a guy who two scenes back was talking about his great fear of fire who gets in a plane wreck (a little biplane sort of thing a la 1920s). Rescuers get to him just as the plane catches fire, and when they cannot get him free of the wreckage, one of them shoots him in mercy.
I think I was about 12 when I encountered this, but the overall outline stuck with me as an example of the sort of circumstances where euthanasia might be the best of many difficult choices. I sure as hell wouldn't leave it to the discretion of doctors or government.

Then the next day her Pastor called and said he is in ICU.
Turns out the hospital jumped the gun.
(And he is still in ICU so prayers are appreciated)
But any recourse against the hospital for declaring him dead and basically saying 'my bad.' Posted by: RWC at February 20, 2014 12:23 AM (xp1Q3) Hide posts from (xp1Q3)

I hope you understand that I am profoundly sympathetic and well understand your point....but feel that the problem is more in the lawlessness surrounding the laws than in the laws themselves. You could craft a statute with the best of intentions (not that I think many statutes have that) in the most thoughtful of ways (not that I think many statutes have that) that would perfectly elucidate (not that I think many statutes have that) the most noble of principles (oh, crud....ntitmsht)....and, still, those evil bastard death-worshippers would use it to slay the innocent.

OK.....among lawyers today, it is fashionable to refer to refer to anonymous parties as female. Because: transgressive! Seriously, it used to be taught in schools that parties of no particular gender could be referred to as "he", but it's now stylish to say otherwise.
That meant that Ace got some ribbing about 'her' finer frillies....which started turning into a 'thang'....so Ace shut the comments down early for the "I got BK's own lawyer to take my case against BK" post. On of the later contributors to that 'thang' was T9....who didn't get banned, but got belligerent enough for Maet to suggest he seek out Bl@zer for some soul-searching upthread.

helofixer (if you're still here), pretty sure you meant "spit or a hurricane" - typhoons were the 1980s fighter/attack aircraft, right?
Was shocked when I read the numbers of V-1s that were launched against England and the damage/casualties inflicted. Had always thought it was much smaller.
Anna Puma - one day at that museum where I volunteer, a guy walks in and says he's working on a book about a secret Corsair squadron (Vought F-4U) that was set up specifically to do anti-V1 duty over the Channel. Obviously would have been the only Corsairs to see duty in the ETO. Based at NAS El Centro (might have had a different designation then - base is still there, winter home to the Blue Angels, who hold their first show there each year first Sat. in March), the unit had not finished preparations when the Allied offensives in Europe over-ran the V1 launching sites, mooting their mission (as I recall his spiel). Haven't heard from him since or looked for his book.
Just thought I'd share that bit of WWII aviation esoterica/rumint.
Oh - and Obama's foreign policy passions? We are so far beyond burlesque and poorly written fantasy in the degradation of our great nation, esp. as it concerns foreign policy/national security, that I have been without words for years. And I was one who knew many of the Clinton-era principals and subs quite well and was appalled that THEY were anywhere near levers of power.
Only remaining concern is that the national decline will be mirrored in the military - even under Bush lots of idiotic stuff flourished in the brass, and of course now it is incomparably worse. Only moment of public emotion I can recall for years now is the CNO who spit nails while nastily declaring that anyone who wasn't ecstatic about the end of DADT needed to leave the service. Following the still-incredible Casey message after Ft. Hood ..... well let's just say I hold little hope for the future and have earnestly advised all who ask against military service (at least two would-be recruits "saved" so far).

That wasn't why ace shut it down. He shut it down because like he said, he didn't want to babysit the thread. If you know how those threads have gone in the past he would definitely have needed to babysit the thread all night. In fact the entire reason that ace has the ability to turn off comments came about because of the threads on that subject because people couldn't follow some simple requests and guidelines from him.

Olympics. Have not watched a minute of "televised" coverage. Only streaming on my laptop. Fantastic. Not one minute of the idiotic American TV folks (have only heard echoes of that stuff here). Have no idea if the streaming for things like figure skating and freestyle skiing are similarly blessed by the absence of the distinctively bad American Olympics coverage, as I haven't sampled them.
I only watch the few things that interest me: biathlon & x-country, hockey, ski-jumping, downhill, bobsled, speed-skating.
Very impressed with how "watchable" biathlon is now, with (usually) informed commentators and 20 cameras. Downright dramatic, with the shooting having the ability to suddenly drop the leader 10 spaces.
Kind of wish I'd gone to Sochi. Have the language, love winter sports, and have not spent any time on that side of the Caucasus down south. Thought about it but fear of $$$$ usually associated with the Olympics always prevented any serious research.

Ace has had a number of very courageous posts over the years....but underlying that is a fundamental courage that transcends the individual posts -- this is an open stage. There's no registrations or paywalls in front of it. We get trolls regularly, and they're just as sadistic, pathetic, and sad as CNN recently stated....but Ace hasn't put up fences -- he brings 'em in and shoots 'em down. That's fuckin' courage. He just walks out and brings it -- and if people throw beer bottles at him, he catches 'em and throws 'em back.

Let me just start with the "blame the victim" nonsense. You know damned well that 'the code' is to shrug off the bruises and the scrapes....but if anyone is HURT, play stops. That has nothing to do with thin or thick skin -- I don't blame you for what you were doing last night, but I saw WDS was getting really hurt by it and called upon your sense of decency to stop.
Second, she ignored your "funnin'" bullshit because she was HURT. Funnin' doesn't matter to a hurt person.
And, third, if you actually read the thread while sober....we were talking about a very sensitive topic that literally involves life, death, and who we are....when you started "jumpin' funny" all over things.
Seriously, I could tell that she was becoming increasingly distressed, and did my best to keep you from making it worse -- and I need nothing from you for myself.....but I would expect you to get square with her for the basic human decency due another moron.

On the other hand there was widespread speculation just last November that Kutcher was a closet conservative based on some of his recent speeches.
I don't know where his political beliefs really lie but if his worst crime is just being a kool-aid -chugging liberal, that still puts him in the upper tier of Hollywood types.

Cthulhu, are you using something to quote posts or doing it by hand? It seems it might be for the best to not include the bit created by the ignore script.
We have water again, mostly. As they were getting ready to go and testing everything, they discovered that there was an additional hot water line for a couple locations upstairs that they didn't find previously. So they need to come back in the morning for that last bit.
The driers are still running in the kitchen downstairs, so everything is still covered in a layer of dirt and we don't have the oven back yet. But just having working toilets is a really major upgrade. That constant rumble in the background from the driers is pretty annoying, like being next door to an aircraft engine maintenance facility that runs around the clock.
It would be a really good time to have an out of town job for a few days but Instead I have nothing at all this week, making it both terribly boring and anxiety laden. I'm looking but everything I come across is impossibly far away for an ongoing commute.

Y-5 was funnin' around, I get that, and I don't blame him for that. But even when you are doing something lawful, and ethical, and moral, and fun.....you need to have a reasonable understanding of what that means to people. And, truly, it has been on my mind A LOT lately -- the left love to turn this into "if your words can be construed to be offensive to me, even if the rationale is batshit insane, you should be censored" -- but the fact of the matter is that we had a small group on the ONT, and one among our number was in distress, and stuff Y-5 was doing was making things worse.
I have a sneaky suspicion that Ace's post about 20% might have been sparked by his 36,000-foot overview of the situation.

During the period in question people explained how the Hide Comments thingy worked to WDS so it should have clear that she wasn't blocked and that Yankeefifth was playing around with her. If she was in distress for some reason, it wasn't obvious from her comments on the ONT.

look, I am not sure what life and death matters I interrupted, when I entered the thread I got in where I got in. you can call my reference to "funnin" "bullshit" if you wish but I am not sure why you would. I said nothing about her personally I made no reference to anything else she was commenting about. I had been similarly confused by your hide post text at nearly the same point in the thread as she was.
as soon as you mentioned she was distressed I quit with the comments about not being able to see her comments. I did that out of consideration for you and on the chance she was more "distressed" than I appreciated.
I am not sure what motive you ascribe to my comments other than "funnin". Indeed I am not sure why you are so inclined to assume bad faith on my part at all. It was a couple of stupid comments about not being able to see her comments, despite the fact that she could see them and other people were saying they could see them.
I am really confused how anything I did wsa an affront to her human or moron expectations for decency.

It's really simple. I'm ok -- and was reacting that way upthread. God knows there's been times I've done rude, thoughtless, half-assed, semi-drunk comments -- it wouldn't surprise me at all to find a couple where I'd face-planted into the keyboard mid-sentence. But you have been acting dishonorably towards WDS. She got hurt -- you denied that she was; she was -- you denied she should have been; she had every reason to be -- you denied the validity of those reasons.... This is not about chasing you down some stupid rabbit hole, this is about you facing up to WDS and healing her pain. Man up.
Posted by: cthulhu at February 19, 2014 11:34 PM (T1005)
What might be missing is the realization that some people have a lot of reason recently to be concerned about unintended hurt feelings and where it can lead. It's one thing to read about a tragedy and another to have been there trying to intervene while it went down. People are going to feel bruised and extra cautious for a good while.
I have enough problems just functioning as an adult human. That post today from Ace brought home that some people are going through a lot of pain while trying to hold at bay those who would do harm to all.

To "monitor" their content.

Female here. She was distressed and looking for reassurance. She just didn't say it outright.
Having said that, I think it's best to put an end to this subject. From my experience on this board, Y5 is a gentleman and meant no harm. Personally, I don't think it would hurt if he expressed his best wishes to her the next time they're on the same post. But I don't think it's worth it to carry on about what happened in last night's ONT.

Remember, these people still bear grudges over battles that didn't go their way in the 14th Century. Keeping up the crazy within their own lifetime is no effort for them. They've made murderous resentment almost an autonomic nervous function.

Man up? Dishonorably? Did you run out of keys why not toss in racist? Really, you are comfortable with that language?
I have gone back and re-read it to make certain. she does not make any mention of anything that indicates stress or distress at any point in the thread. She offers you hugs at one point but that is the closest I can come to seeing anything that might indicate something of stress; by which I mean you may have gotten hugs for some other discussion you had had. I explained a couple of times that no offense was intended and I was only funnin.
Where is the pain? How did I deny that validity of anything? As soon as you indicated I thought I was straying over the line with her I stopped; even though it was not apparent how anything I said was outside the accepted norm. If you are privy to some sensitivity she has or source of stress that was not communicated in that thread it is a little unreasonable to hold me accountable for something I am unaware of.
There was no intent to cause her to be upset and it was not even foreseeable that that would be the result, especially in this forum. Posted by: yankeefifth at February 20, 2014 03:44 AM (rDidD) Hide posts from (rDidD)

In which case the problem would soon solve itself.
It sounds like the connection to your ISP is a bit shaky. Often if you lose power or have to reset your modem you'll get the same address, as it is on a lease to your modem's MAC address. But this can vary greatly among ISPs and conditions.

You have ascribed bad faith to my actions, my explanations, described my behavior as dishonorable, suggested I should man up and more.
Nothing I did was malicious. I did not attack her or anything she did or said, I made a few stupid comments about seeing her comments. I called for her to come back last night and she came back and hung around for nearly an hour.
do you really believe she left the thread because I was here? I said nothing to her or about her. Posted by: yankeefifth at February 20, 2014 04:12 AM (rDidD) Hide posts from (rDidD)
I just want to point out that you recently posted, "Where is the pain? How did I deny that validity of anything?" If you can't seen where those two statements contradict each other, I'm done with you. Have WDS let me know if I should ever see you again.

I don't think anything Y-5 said in the heat of the moment was anything more than an "oopsie". I'm appalled that he'd leave WDS hanging.

If you can convince me that "she had no harm; how dare you accuse me of denying she was harmed" makes any sense whatsoever, let me know. I've probably interacted more over the years with Y5 than WDS, but that was rude.

It's a long story with a bunch of goofing around, but an 'ette got hurt in the process and I'm a bit pissed-off that's being ignored.

Yankeefifth was playing with her a bit (in a very welcoming way, I thought) and she took it seriously. He apologized and it seemed like she took that as part of the joke.
The poster in question seemed a bit skittish. Probably a bit nervous and just took the good natured humor seriously (it is very hard to get context online remember.)
Seems like a big misunderstanding where there was no true foul. Not a good idea to make one now, after the fact.

If quickly acknowledged and laid to rest, certainly. But now we've got a series of lame excuses on one side and a missing 'ette on the other.

It recently came out that the reason Clinton didn't make a Presidential bid against Bush the elder in 1988 was that some of the bimbo eruptions were so fresh that it was decided that it would be impossible to clean things up in time for the campaign.

Yes, though not just the media but also women, who cheapened their self-respectability bending over backwards to excuse him and slander his victims. His wife had a hand in it too, although I guess we're not supposed to talk about that for the next few years.

1. This place may be a sleezy dodgy internet biker bar but it's about the friendliest relaxed cantina hangout it can be and still qualify for the designation. That said - it is not a therapy session. You are expected to wear your big boy pants around here. If you're too fragile to handle that, this probably isn't the place for you.
2. The ONT does not rise and fall on any single moron or moronette. If you're unhappy, leave. If you come back, hey welcome back. You know where we are.
3. No offense by proxy. If you are offended, speak out. But no being offended on behalf of someone else. Part of being a fully independent person is the ability to speak up on your own behalf. If that is hard for you, again maybe this is not the place for you.

OK, fine -- I'm taking this personally. I think Y5 was being a shit because he didn't treat WDS right. It didn't matter why or how she was upset, she deserved to be comforted and not provoked. That said, I respect Y5 as a fellow moron and wish him all the best. And will unban his ass as soon as I can figure out that part of the script.

Looks like this will get lost in the shuffle of comments at #694 and counting but here we go...
On that hat map of naval forces in the area I only see one or two ships that would have been likely to have any sort of special operators onboard, so to speak: GUN and ENT. Listing the PCs, Minesweeps, Ammo ships and oilers is kind of like saying if we tape enough bottle rockets together we can get to the moon. I don't mean to disparage, and this is coming from a PC officer, but what capability would the PC use against an insurgent attack XX miles inland in Benghazi? None. Unless someone were to send in the VBSS team tell them to hike XX miles through the city. Which is retarded, sir.
Similar stories can be said of the DDGs and CGs in the area. Unless someone were on the ground directing tactical T-hawk strikes their presence is somewhat of a moot point. The best you would hope for would be perhaps the FAST teams could use their helo-decks as a lillypad if they're not on a CH-53 or a Chinook, which they probably were.
So we're talking maybe ENT who happened to be on the right side of the SOH could make best spead East towards Bab-al-Mandeb and the Red Sea, and then go over whomever's airspace with their FAST team. Getting their aircraft within that kind of range would likely take upwards of 10-15hrs+ I am guessing of straight steaming through the ocean alone, not to mention flight times of said a/c.
I am just saying that listing THOSE naval forces in the area is kind of a nonsequitor and a little irrelevant. What we should focus on are the FAST teams and other special operators that were spinning up and getting on aircraft in the Med ready to launch and kick some ass. I imagine there were plenty of bad men on our team ready, willing and able to get into the fight. They simply would not have been on the ships you listed.
