— Gabriel Malor Happy Thursday.
Today is going to be "much warmer than yesterday" here in D.C., with the high expected to be 28 degrees Fahrenheit. Currently, it's 7 degrees, which is why there are no links in this post. I found it a little difficult to get out of bed and get moving with that frosty reception.

Good Morning Morons. Today is Thursday, January 23, 2014. On this date in 1964 the 24th Amendment was ratified.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reasons of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.
I can live with eliminating the poll tax, it's the "or other" that needs to go. The FSA should not be able to vote themselves bread and circuses.

13: "...a mass blessing by a Protestant bishop..."
This is one of the things that has always baffled me. Wasn't a large part of the Protestant Reformation the effort to throw off papal authority and titles?
And yet we are seeing a resurgence of "Protestant" pastors going around calling themselves bishop and even wearing Catholic priest's collars.
This seems to be even more common in the black Church where the pastor's wear Catholic shirts and collars in...very lod colors.
Mystifying.

Once done protesting the Catholic Church, the protestors could not agree with each other and began protesting amongst themselves.
What better way to stick it to your fellows than to adopt the garb of what you originally protested?

Actually, new rope is used for every hanging.
The amount of stretch has to be calculated and a "used" rope is an unknown variable.
That's so the length of the fall is enough so that the neck is snapped and the condemned are not strangled. (not that that would bother me but the law is clear that the method can not be torture.)

I could go with a "first warning" at locations that did not involve children. But at schools it should be automatic firing on first offense. It was that way where I used to work and we had no children.
And the "judges" in this case should all be terminated. And the union contract voided.

It's not really that there is a shortage of drugs (as I am sure you know), but that the anti-capital punishment people have latched onto the minutia of the pharmacology as something that can be leveraged in court.
There are hundreds of ways of killing a human being painlessly (why that matters I don't know) and in a short amount of time.

I understand the argument of using property taxes to pay for the schools but that has separated the people who have children from the expense of their education and foisted if off on many people that don't have children.
Why should I (not having any children in school) pay for your brats to get a crappy education?

I have never heard or seen the Maintain property values argument. What I have seen in the past as it improved the community as a whole to educate the citizens and improves the economy through an educated workforce.
But even that argument falls apart in the urban hells where the dropout rate is 50 to 75 percent. Which may be one of the reasons the urban hells are such a basket case.

Absolutely.
McDonnell was somebody the Democrats were worried about so he had to be eliminated. I'm sure the DOJ started collecting stuff on him the day after his election and waited until his term was over to hit him with an indictment in order to prevent him from organizing and fund raising on a national level.
I'm also convinced that they have a big fat file on Christie as well and they will be dropping that one on the public as soon as the traffic jam flap abates.

Michigan's Republican Governor Rick Snyder announced a plan on Wednesday to commit $350m in state funds to help shore up Detroit's pension funds and prevent valuable city-owned art from being sold during the debt-ridden city's bankruptcy.
Republican senate majority leader Randy Richardville said he likes the proposal but cautioned that the full senate is not yet on board. Richardville, who is from Monroe in the south-east corner of Michigan, said it would not be a "bailout of Detroit at all", but would rather help retirees who now live across the state.

A man who provided sperm to a lesbian couple in response to an online ad is the father of a child born to one of the women and must pay child support, a Kansas judge ruled Wednesday.
Topeka resident William Marotta had argued that he had waived his parental rights and didn't intend to be a father. Shawnee County District Court Judge Mary Mattivi rejected that claim, saying the parties didn't involve a licensed physician in the artificial insemination process and thus Marotta didn't qualify as a sperm donor.

The don't mention that that normal level is so low that it can only be detected with very super sensitive shielded instruments and doubling it doesn't amount to much. After all 2 x 0 is still 0.

Posted by: Vic at January 23, 2014 07:24 AM (T2V/1)"
The skill consists of reading a table of weights vs. length of drop that was compiled by hangmen in the 19th century. I could see how it would be pretty straightforward to build a strain gauge scale into the trapdoor to weigh the condemned right before hanging and then have a computer controlled mechanism allow exactly the right length of rope for a perfect neck breaking. Heck, give me a no bid contract and I'll build one for a mere $3,000,000 of which the majority will go to pay kickbacks to politicians for my no bid contract. Actually, better make that $9,000,000.

The West Hollywood City Council will reconsider the recent removal of a rainbow flag from atop City Hall.
After months of public debate over the flag — which was raised above City Hall in June — city officials this month removed the flag, which symbolizes gay pride. During a meeting Tuesday night, council members said the removal should be discussed again at an upcoming meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem John DÂ’Amico said that nobody contacted him to complain while the flag was up, but they did after it was removed.
“Our unconscious denial of the importance of [the flag] by taking it down I think is what rang true,” D’Amico said. The flag “is very political,” he said, and council members “understand what we did and …what it means” to remove it.
About 40% of West HollywoodÂ’s residents identify themselves as gay or lesbian, according to city surveys. There are rainbow-colored crosswalks at Santa Monica and San Vicente boulevards, and four of the five city council members are gay men.

What's so sad is that people don't understand long-term vs. short-term risk.
Sure, there is a theoretical possibility of a nuclear catastrophe, but over many years, the health risks of the alternatives are more significant.

.Our little corner here in Kentucky is having boom times. Toyota is expanding their plant to make the Lexus adding another 800 jobs and people are building new houses all over the place. New stores are being built and everyone that wants a job has one.
Companies cant find enough people to fill their needs. Every day the newspaper has dozens of openings for everything from Truck Drivers to Fork Lift Operators and the pay is OK. The temp agency will hire anyone to drive a forklift for $10.74 an hour to start, more if you already have your certification.
Industrial parks are expanding and attracting new customers. I suspect a lot of the growth comes from people and Companies leaving high tax States or places that are shrinking.

127:" A judge will stick any guy with child support (even if they prove they are not the father) so the state will not have to shell out welfare."
It goes even further than that. The States get a chunk of money from the Feds based on the number of cases adjudicated. If I remember correctly, it is supposedly supposed to aid in the enforcement management of the child support program.
But of course like every other Federal bribe, it is being abused by the States. It creates a peverse incentive to find some patsy to hang the bill on so that the State can collect its cut for administering the payments as well as getting the Fed bribery. Mo money! Mo money!! MO MONEY!!!

Why do we even bother with the FDA? No drugs are 100% safe. Off of the top of my head, Vioxx was a recent new drug that was on the market 5 years and then pulled. Darvocet was on the market for over 50 years and then pulled.
So a new drug and an old drug- both determined to be unsafe by the FDA after gaining their approval for public usage.
And did said approval shield the companies that produced these medicines from lawsuits? HA!

I didn't read all of it so missed that. They have been anti-nuke crackpots for decades and there are just about zero of them who know anything about nukes and very few who would be classified as real "scientists".
As for risk of a theoretical catastrophe that was demonstrated with Chernobyl. The absolute worst case accident possible in the worst case design possible.
They melted the core, blew the head off, burned the fuel, and ejected a major part of it out the building in a plume w/o a containment. Their cores were also many times the size of ours. You can't get any worse than that.
And there have been no attributable effects out side of a small radius around the plant. And those near the plant have been minor. Studies have shown wildlife in thriving in the area near the plant.
The only people who were hurt were the plant workers and the helicopter pilots who flew over the building to dump boron in the core.

They are having a hard time marketing them because their selling point is that you could "chain them" and operate multiple ones with a single crew.
The NRC doesn't agree with that. I wouldn't either.

Saw the monarch butterflies migrating southward thru Southern California way early last year. June I think.

Even tho Russians are part Scandi, let's give props to those guys.
They didn't get HURT, they mostly got DEAD.
And they knew that what they were doing was a death sentence.
That's courage (regardless of any Kalashnikov backed incentives).

Five men have been taken into custody as suspects in the 1978 Lufthansa heist at New YorkÂ’s John F. Kennedy airport, an FBI spokeswoman says, according to Reuters.
I was pretty sure that case got solved years ago.

There is a snowy owl here at the old Griffiss AFB. I have been trying to get a photograph of it. I had him once, and my auto focus got confused by the gray sky. I did get a good picture of him flying away from me, however.

I wish I was in Charleston, right now.
So do I. I'd be having breakfast at Toast. Then I'd pay a visit to the Museum of the Confederacy, shop at Ben Silver's and end the day with cocktails and a meal at Magnolia's.
Damned job.

I don't think she does, but does Kirsten Powers have children? I wonder how forgiving she would be if she knew one of her children's teachers looked at porn during work hours, then into the classroom to teach her kids?

I just want a government that enforces contract law.
Wherein when I buy a medicine, I will have an enforceable assurance that it contains the active ingredient(s) which the manufacturer claims it does, to the level of dose and purity which is claimed.
Questions of efficacy or suitability to purpose I will decide for myself, thank you.
For those who say, but but but if we go to that system, uncomprehending people will die from ineffectual quack medicines, well, we _have that now_ to a very considerable degree.
Steve flipping Jobs basically offed himself by voluntarily choosing flakey hippie Cosmic Muffin alternatives to conventional cancer therapy. His oncologist was baffled that such a supposedly smart guy could behave so stupidly. But people should have the right to behave stupidly if the consequences are limited to themselves. That's freedom in a nutshell, both the good and the bad of it.

You may have one large room with multiple control panels but there are separate crews in that room on each panel. In addition, there are separate "outside" crews for each reactor.
When I investigated these plants for a post a couple of years ago (at request) what I found was that they are only about 200MW gross for each plant. Yes they are cheap at the total capital price but the dollars per MW are actually more.
But, in the long term it isn't the capitol costs that drive the price per MW at a nuke. It is labor and regulatory costs and there is zero savings there unless you can use one crew on multiple sites.
The average new plant now is 1000MW+ for each reactor.

You have to admit, the leftists are great at redirecting an issue. No longer is pro-choice about murdering innocent babies. It's now associated strictly in terms of "women's rights" and any push back is a "war on women." Lost in the shuffle is the actual process of tearing babies' limbs from their innocent bodies.

As I read the epidemiological literature, there have been a bloc of cases of thyroid cancer in children that are reasonably attributable to Chernobyl. Numbers ranging from several hundred to several thousand depending on choice of inclusion parameters.
Pretty much all of these could have been prevented by competent prompt evacuation, competent food scrutiny, and especially by prompt administration of radioprophylaxis. The Soviets had potassium iodide stockpiled for military and government use but did not release it to the general population in Ukraine and Belarus until way too late.
Note also that thyroid cancer is one of the most easily survivable forms of cancer.

Then I guess you don't mind if I collect my SS checks then?
I mean, I paid into it for the retirees then and now you get to pay into now for me.
And btw, the education I got when I was in school was much better compared with what is taught in many school districts these days.
Plus if you want to use that argument then that closes off any discussions about changing our financial system or our tax system or a great many other situations where things were done a certain way in the past and others then profited by it and now it has to stay that way to even things up?

I disagree. The collective, including your Dad, paid under threat of prosecution.
Posted by: Troll Feeder at January 23, 2014 07:22 AM (n8yZW)
SS ought to be abolished, too. I'd even keep paying into it and take nothing from it if only it would be shutoff for everyone born after 1996 (today minus 18 years) or 2000 or 2014. It is not a legitimate federal function.
