— Gabriel Malor Happy Monday. March. Huh.
Former IRS official Lois Lerner may or may not be taking the Fifth again when she appears for testimony at House Oversight on Wednesday. There seems to be a little confusion on that point.
The Obama administration says it's going to offer Russia a combination of sanctions threats and a "diplomatic way out" of Ukraine, but the Russians aren't talking like they're looking for a way out. In fact, it looks like they're still looking for more ways in.
People are still finding fun ways to screw up their lives on social media.
And, if I can borrow MPPP's thing for a second, here's a Hollywood-ish story for ya:

We are now into the first of who knows how many excess snow days for the school system.
And two shipments of Fluffy food are being delayed due to this crap.
The Pain....Oh the pain.

A front page mention? Guess my life is complete now. Anyway, I can't access twitter from my computer; someone fill me in on the note, please?
And now:
Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.
While big pictures brought a studio prestige, what kept them operating from day to day were the “meat and potatoes” fixtures such as cartoons at Warner Brothers, Three Stooges shorts at Columbia or Ritz Brothers shorts at Fox or the Wheeler and Woolsey films at RKO. These last came under the rubric of “B” pictures, which were vital in helping a studio absorb overhead. You have to remember that, at this time, studios also owned their own chains of theaters; while they hoped at least ten films a year would be money-makers, they had to crank out a great deal of product to keep the theaters going and to at least break even at the end of a fiscal year.
Most B pictures were shot in twelve to eighteen days. Depending on the director, sometimes retakes were never made; Woody Van Dyke (who got his start as an A.D. on Theda Bara’s Cleopatra) was infamously known as “One-Take Woody.” As far as scripts were concerned, B writers often reduced story costs by simply taking an “A” script and reworking it. A Western might be transferred to a Pacific island, or a horse race into an auto race.
Even classic pictures would be ransacked and turned into melodramas; the writer-director Charles Marquis Warren made a Western at Fox in 1957 called Copper Sky, starring Jeff Morrow. He later boasted, “It was a damn good picture, simply because I stole it from a hell of a script – African Queen !”
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Radar shows the alleged snow zipping past us to the south, leaving Eastern MA clear but leaving the serfs in Kennedy Country (Cape Cod and the islands) to clean up the mess.
But it's 18 degrees and cloudy, which is bad enough.

To protest Russia's actions in Ukraine, John Kerry threw our Olympic gold medals over the Kremlin wall. Update: The medals were fake.

Harlean Harlow Carpenter (a.k.a. Jean Harlow)
Who, until she was about six years old, thought her name was "Baby," because that's what everyone in her family called her. "The Baby" was also her nickname at MGM, where she was beloved by everyone from the biggest man in the front office to the greenest prop boy.

Not to nitpick, but the note was written by Elizabeth Taylor WARNER, which means it was done while she was married to that dumbshit political hack/zillionaire.
Don't think she was ever married to a "Warren." Just assorted Todds, Fishers, Burtons, Warners, etc.

Every hearing he's held has turned out to be a show with nothing of substance derived.
I think he's part of the scam. He at least is doing the bidding of the House "Leadership" and we all know how eager they are to upset Democrat applecarts.
This moron didn't even have his facts straight before bragging about it all over the news. What. An. Idiot.
He can't put her in jail. Not even for one minute. The House as a body has to try her and find her guilty and then they announce a sentence. And at worst the maximum length of her sentence is to the end of the House session. Which Next January.
Sure they can do other stuff like recommend that the DoJ charge her and prosecute. hahahahah yeah, like that's going to happpen.
And that still has to come from the full body of the House.
NOT. HAPPENING.
(don't get me wrong, I'd love to see her and everyone who went along with their illegality get put in jail and hopefully someone would squeal on who really authorized the whole thing but we know THAT'S not happening any time soon.)

Can you see the picture in Gabe's post, MPPPP? The tweet amounts to the picture and the info that it was left on his car.
In case you can't, it's a letter left on a car asking if it can be parked elsewhere so ET's maid can park near the gates for safety on the nights she has to work late.

Wouldn't you just love to get your hands on an English translation of their law books though?
All sorts of statutes for how to maim other people, from bashing them with shovels, to lighting them on fire with kerosine, to covering them with honey, then burying them up to their chins on the site of an ant colony.
And that's just the punishment section. The crimes have to be even weirder.

I've belatedly started to back up on multiple drives and operating systems, after losing my primary disk drive this summer (which I was able to only partially recover). I am doing it the old fashioned way without a formal backup program, and finding it very inefficient.

"I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul, a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country. Â… I wouldnÂ’t have invited him to my ranch if I didnÂ’t trust him."
And the writer is saying that Bush misread Putin.
With the exception of the word "trustworthy", I find every word to be accurate.
Straightforward
Deeply committed to HIS country
Best interests of HIS country
Nothing about the remainder of the world.
Putin is gonna do what Putin feels is best for Russia.

A stark reminder of why we have the phrase 'cruel and unusual punishment.' Although it can be tempting at times to declare that he punishment should fit the crime, you have to wonder at what it does to a culture to have the government carry out such acts.
When dealing with a mad dog you simply shoot it and be done with it. You don't assemble more dogs to rip it apart in pursuit of some twisted justice. It does nothing to aid the mad dogs victims and is likely to have an ill effect on the executioner dogs.

You know, I think we're all overlooking the most important aspect of this entire Russia/Ukraine situation. Namely, how will this distraction affect Preezy Obammy's March Madness NCAA basketball brackets? Priorities, people!

And the Mac Pro has to be the lowest volume major product in the whole Apple lineup, by a large margin. With its huge margins, assembling the workstations in the US is a minor hit compared to bring something like iPad production to the US. Likewise, it is the product with the highest level of customization options at Apple today. A pretty blatant meaningless PR gesture.

I agree to a point. Putin is gonna do what Putin feels is best for Putin. It just so happens that what is best for Putin at this point in time is also what many Russians perceive is best for Russia.

As I recall, they (the unnamed RoP) taxi drivers, a public accommodation if ever there was one, don't have to transport people with seeing eye dogs either.
Wonder what would happen if a taxi driver of another persuasion refused to transport a burkha clad "maiden".

Ok I'm willing to entertain any thoughts of what positive things have happened to the Republican party under the leadership of Reince Priebus. Even under the inept Michael Steele, the 2010 gains happened before he was shown the door.

Yep, what they're really doing is configuring a kit rather than what most people would think of as assembly. It isn't a product that people buy in cookie cutter off the shelf form, and is very low volume compared to just about anything else from Apple, so doing the final customization in the continental US is a meaningless gesture. What Jobs said to Obama, "Those jobs aren't coming back," in fact were never here, still holds.

FFS.
Bleeding Heart Emo Dickweed Jared Leto and Pothead McConagheyad;lkf however teh fuck his name is spelled won for "Dallas buyers Club," about AIDS in the 80s or whatever. Because that's really the hot button topic of our day.
"12 Years a Slave" won because apparently it's groundbreaking and daring to make a movie about how slavery was bad, and because if it DIDN'T win the entire Hollywood anger machine would be out in force today chanting "RACISM."
Fuck Fineman up the ass with an Oscar statuette dipped in battery acid and lemon juice.

In the case of the US or the USSR, the "the" is referring to the UNION. In the case of the US, it's the union of the 50 states. We don't refer to "The California" or "The Montana," but we do refer to "The UNITED States." The same goes for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or the European Union.

No. Of course not. (I'm assuming this gate was a driveway gate as most Hollywood types gravitate towards those kind of dwellings.
If it was in NYC or some other place and it was not a driveway gate, then where did ol' liz park HER car?
Just saying that the pampered and well off (particularly if they been for a long time) don't perceive the world the way you or I do. They see class distinctions that they would never cross no matter how much they liked the maid. SHE'S A MAID. She doesn't deserve special treatment except of course by other of her class be cause she works for the better people than you folks.
Liz was drunk most of the time so any seeming moments of charity or bravery were most likely alcohol induced and Publicist inspired.
