Surprising Song Meanings
Tutti Frutti by Little Richard. You probably heard this song a lot as a kid, just like you probably watched Mrs. Doubtfire as a kid and didn't think much of it. Well, re-watch Mrs. Doubtfire now that you've gone through middle school and give this record a spin and listen to the lyrics. If you did that, then you'll realize that the song is all kinds of rough. Not only is it about some guy getting it on with a girl, but multiple girls--Sue and Daisy--and they both "know what to do" (so they're very experienced) and they all drive him crazy. Also, the repeated hook of "Tutti frutti, aw rooty" was not the original lyrics of the song, before it got picked up to be recorded. When performing live, Little Richard sang the following: Tutti Frutti, good booty / If it don’t fit, don’t force it / You can grease it, make it easy. The lyrics were then changed in studio to "Tutti Frutti, all rooty" (all rooty was slang at the time for "alright") so that the rest of the song didn't make sense, making it more marketable. Yes, that's right. The song you more than likely danced to like an idiot when you were three and didn't know better was originally not just about sex, but anal sex. You're welcome.Hot Vodka

Here's a reference table of scoville ratings. Taco Bell Fire sauce is only 500 scovilles. Ultimate Tazer Ball
Ultimate Tazer Ball allows players to zap opponents with 300,000-volt stun guns, to induce a muscle spasm which will make them drop the ball or trip over. Only the player in possession may be zapped as teams of four compete to manoeuvre an over-sized foam ball into their opponents’ net. There are four fledgling teams – LA Nightlight, Philadelphia Killawatts, Canadian side Toronto Terror and San Diego Spartans. Toronto Terror look set to encounter problems at home games, as stun guns are banned in Canada.

I think the point of the boots is not what you wear with them but rather where you are wearing them - you essentially have your pants around your ankles. which of course is where any good sorority girl wears her pants.

I wrote this quick and dirty review of Act of Valor for some friends. In short, I liked it.
-----------
Hey, not bad. Unfairly maligned. Critics are all a bunch of lefty douchebags. Fuck 'em.
To
be fair, it's not great art. It's certainly not propaganda.
Recruitment movie? Certainly no more than Top Gun was except Act of
Valor lacks the homosexual subtext. Quality of the acting is probably
about the same.
There's not actually a lot to say about this movie. It stars a
bunch of real life SEALS. Shit blows up. Cut. Print. That's a wrap.
Honestly if it weren't for the ridiculous reactions of the critics (the
most hysterically outraged review came from a reviewer on AICN called
Nordling) I probably would never have seen this movie. 'Splosions?
Gimmickry? Bad acting? Avoid. Lefties get all hysterical and malign
as propaganda an apolitical movie? Officially intrigued. So I figure,
okay, I'll piss away a few bucks. And I can honestly say I've seen far
worse movies. The acting is wooden, yes, but I've seen so-called
professional actors do worse. The story is stock, but what do you want
another friggin' remake? Shakey cam? Hey, it's not so shakey I can't
follow the action unlike those last two Bourne movies.
It has problems, certainly. Unless something is blowing up, I
wasn't really caring. Because the movie is basically a series of
loosely connected scenarios there's a lack of tension. But I knew this,
or at least figured, going in.
The strengths of the film lies in, believe it or not, the cast. Bad
acting, yes, but all these guys on screen are for real and this movie
is a showcase. So you get a chance to glimpse not just how they do
things, from mission briefs on, but you sort of get a glimpse into their
mindset a little. It's like reading an autobiography in a way. You're
not getting straight facts of events in a person's life, you're getting
an ego's impression of itself. In a way, that's what Act of Valor is.
Whenever the main characters aren't briefing on a mission or killing
some terrorists, they're basically talking about their families and
there's a character who's an expectant father and so on. If there's any
sort of statement this movie makes it 1. This is the purest definition
of service and 2. This are who we're serving. Family guys with big fucking
guns. "We kill scumbags so our kids can be happy." And this makes me
think of something Robert Kaplan observed that no matter how cornball
some of this stuff may seem they really, *really* believe in it. It's
completely black and white and an objective observer might make more
complex observations but that's besides the point. The SEALS, as an
institution, see themselves this particular way. And I can't argue with
it. At least that was my take away.
I'd say this movie is 2.5 out of 5 stars. It's not great but it's pretty cool in its
way.

Reposting here on ONT - an update to the New No Che at work policy from the previous thread:
Lol.. well, glad it inspired - and as it turns out I have an update.
I work what's called a "floating schedule" meaning that sometimes my
schedule can change from week to week depending on business needs. So I
make it a habit to sign into my work email on Friday and again on
Sunday, just to check to make certain they haven't made a last minute
change to my schedule for Monday.
I signed into my work email a
few minutes ago, and found an email in my inbox about the incident. The
other guy's supervisor sent it to the entire group, and I won't quote
the whole thing but basically he posted a "reminder" to everyone working
the evening shift that they could no longer wear "Che" T-shirts and
that they would have to be a lot more careful in the future because
apparently there was one person who might become offended and report
them to HR if they were not. He said he could not comment on who it was
that was offended, but apologized to everyone that there wardrobe
choices were now more limited as a result. I guess either he forgot that
the group in question went out to all of us, or perhaps he was hoping
I'd be too ashamed to do anything about it.
Being part of the
group, I responded to the entire group - I introduced myself, and stated
that I was indeed the one that had pointed out the T-shirt was
offensive. I told them that while the supervisor in question hadn't
released my name in the email, that I'd be more than happy to do so
myself. I also pointed out that I was not the one that got HR involved,
that this was erroneous information. I told them that if anyone had any
questions as to exactly how it all transpired, or as to why I might be
offended by a Che T-shirt, I'd be more than happy to discuss it with
them at length. Since such a thing really wasn't business related, I
offered them one of my home email addresses instead.
Yup.. better get that resume ready.. having a feeling I'll be going down to HR pretty much as soon as I show up Monday morning.

The take on "Every Breath You Take" does not even go far enough: it's more about an *ex*-lover stalking his former lover. That song and James Blunt's "You;re Beautiful" are most ironic wedding reception songs ever.

Another great "the lyrics aren't what you thing song. Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones (and done better by The Sundays).

Sounds like a regular old love song...but not so much
Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Let's approach this logically. Where do you go if civilization goes all to hell?
Well, not a major city. That's a given. Nor anyplace within easy looting range of a major city, which rules out a lot of the Northeastern U.S. -- Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, the Hudson Valley of New York, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and the northern half of Virginia.
Nor do you want to be anyplace where you need energy to stay alive. Sure, people lived in the Snow Belt before electricity, but they had to cut a hell of a lot of trees and they lived in houses built around fireplaces. So just eliminate everything north of the Ohio River and the Oklahoma-Kansas border extending west to California.
You also want to be someplace with water. That eliminates Arizona and New Mexico.
What does that leave? Rural areas in California and Oregon, and rural parts of the Old South.
I'd say the Appalachians are a good bet. Some small hydro plants, coal mines, and plenty of mountain folk who are a couple of generations (if that) away from subsistence farming anyhow.

After years on this site and enjoying the comments of (most of) you wonderful people, I got to wondering, what does the average Moronette look like? (As a guy, I have no interest in what you hairy stinking bastards look like).
Albeit a generalization, I see the average Moronette as:
1. a brilliant, discerning woman, shrewd in judgement and not reticent in sharing her opinions.
2. beautiful, doe-like eyes full of love, but which can cut off a man in mid-sentence with her glare.
3. A mouth with a beguiling smile, but also one with a vocabulary that could burn the paint off an engine block when those she loves are threatened.
4. Great breasts. Size not a factor, but she knows what they mean to her man, and how to use them as a woman..
What am I missing?

The writer of the piece does not get the half of it about "White Wedding," even by pop culture standards.
Billy Idol actually wrote that mockingly for his own sister for her own wedding, satirizing the conventional idea of marriage. As it turned out, his own hipster shack-upping with his live-in lover dissolved, and his sister's marriage endured. Hmmmmm. . . .

We conservatives have every right to use the same rules that the lefties beat us over the head with, they are just better and savvier at using the rules.
For instance, if you are subscribed to some email list *that is required for your job*, and some leftie douchebag coworker sends out tasteless jokes about conservatives, that is called "hostile work environment". But it seems like it's only when some asshole conservative sends out a tasteless liberal-bashing joke that the hostile work environment card gets played. Well, that card can be played by anyone.

Quick, post a sob story on facebook about how you are about to have your house repossessed unless a good friend can loan you a few tens of thousands of dollars.

So it's December 2012. The Euro has collapsed and there are daily riots to go along withstarvation inEurope. Iran has nuked Tel Aviv, Israel has nuked most of Iran, oil prices are through the roof, and Barack Obama has been re-elected. One morning Pope Benedict's chief aide wakes him up. "Your Holiness, wonderful news! Jesus Christ has returnedto earth."
"Thank God. What wonderful news. Hurry, help me prepare to meet Him. Where is He? Here in Rome? Jerusalem?"
"No, I'm afraid not Your Holiness. He's in Salt Lake City."

Well, I don't know. There is a strong correlation between winning the lotto and going bankrupt several years down the road.

"Dude, not sure if a Che shirt is worth losing a job over, i didn't see the first part though so maybe i'm missing something."
To be honest, a few days ago I would have agreed with you. I certainly never even thought to say anything before. I had always left my politics at home, and had never said anything at work even though there is a small but rather vocal group there that doesn't extend the same courtesy to the rest of us.
Normally though I just ignored it and said nothing. But something changed when I found out that Andrew Brietbart had died. I just couldn't stay silent anymore.
You can read the original posting that explains how it all started in the previous thread about a Moron Meetup for Breitbart.
So yes, I may well lose my job over this - I'm sure if I do it won't be directly but rather indirectly, and that might all seem a bit silly over a T-Shirt. But I guess I realized today that it wasn't a T-Shirt, it was a principle.
And if I am a conservative, and I don't stand on principle.. well, then do I really deserve the right to call myself a conservative anymore?
So yes, it's a very real possibility I'll be out of a job and looking for work again soon. As to the legal aspects of it, I guess I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it. But I just can't sit silent anymore.

I wasn't even considering going outside the U.S.
Still, if things absolutely collapse, I could see Brazil doing all right, and maybe Australia and New Zealand. The latter two will undoubtedly adopt a shoot-first sealed border policy.

Be full of righteous moral outrage, and be sure to mention the phrase "hostile work environment" more than once.
You don't even need to prove anything. Just be "aggrieved", which is an unassailable defense.

And I didn't mean that Texas was desolate. I meant that I would consider Texas a good place to run to (because it seems like the most sane of the states) OR someplace desolate, like Kansas or some spots in Missouri.

You know how that game is played. If they want me gone I'm sure they'll find a way to do it with enough CYA on there part that any sort of legal action would be a huge uphill battle, one that I couldn't possibly afford.But regardless, if I need to find a new job I will. It would be a little sad, I do like this job and the vast majority of the people I work with - but I guess we'll just wait and see how this plays out.

I don't think that's a completely new theory. I think its the Pre-Clovis people they want to speculate as having a European origin, because some of the tools they had seem to correspond to tools found in France.

The fact that people are talking semi-seriously about riding out doom and doing searches for cheap places to live around the world (yeah I get lots of hits on that on my blog) suggests pretty much everybody expects the worst.
My advice is to ride it out at home, and until it happens focus on local, ignoring national and even state. You can change things in your neighborhood, your town. You can't fix congress. Nobody short of a meteor can fix Washington DC any more. Its reached critical mass of corruption and cronyism.

My husband was showing me our son's Facebook page last night, and a girl we've never seen or heard of is "in love" with him (he's in A-Stan) and stalking him.
She is a pretty, vacant-faced bimbo showing pictures of herself sporting a tramp stamp and big (possibly fake) boobies, and multiple changes of hair color.
She's also attending college nearby.
We know all his ex-girlfriends that he's still pals with. This girl we've never heard of until now. I don't think he's ever even met her.
Please, please, son. Don't bring this scrunt home to mom and dad when you get home. Just don't. Ugh.

Couple good UFC fights tonights.
UFC introduces new weight class - Flyweights. 125 lbs. They are small but Team Tiny Penis brings the pain. Tiny little balls of fury.
UFC is doing a 4 man tourney to crown a Flyweight champ. Semis were tonight. These guys are really fucking fast.
First fight was good Uncle Creepy vs Mighty Mouse. Uncle Creep got screwed and lost a decision.
2nd fight had Benividez knock out the #1 Japanese guy.
The Flyweights are the newest and lightest weight class in UFC. UFC is hoping they get some asian champions in the lower weight classes. But they keep getting their asses kicked.

Well, unless your boss secretly moonlights as a DNC shill, I think you're being a bit paranoid.
Sure your relationship with your coworkers is going to change, some of them are going to place you into the "kooky fringe nutjob whom I want to avoid when I see him in the hallways" but a lot of people just don't care.
Actually, this relates to when I came "out of the closet" as a conservative at my former job. Sure there were people who decided not to invite me to their parties anymore, but then there were other people - also lefties - with whom my friendship got stronger, because they were either able to look past the politics and value our friendship, and/or also because they started to understand a little bit what it is like to be a minority in terms of political viewpoint in a field that is overwhelmingly dominated by liberals, and recognize and admire that yeah it does take a little bit of guts to speak out in that situation.
The bottom line is that I don't think it will be as bad as you think.

I labored under the delusion a guy in prison for killing his wife wrote the wordstp Unchained Melody, because I heard a local radio personality said so on air. It's such a beautiful song I, for the most part,keptthat to myself, not wanting to ruin the song for someone else. I believe I mentioned the story here and the MM's straightened me out saying, if I recall correctly, a rabbi had written it. I decided to look it up. Hy Zaret, a tin pan alley lyricist wrote it. He may well have been a rabbi. I haven't looked hard enough to confirm that. He died at age 99.

Stalker chicks are scary (Watched "Play Misty For Me" just last night). My son has one at college. He has put a halt on dating this semester while he focuses on passing his classes and the present student body absolutely cannot stand to see anyone unattached.A bunch of friends tried to match him up with a girl who was a sort of friend and the more he told her "let's just be friends", the more insistent she got. His last straw was when he found out she was being hostile toward all of his other girl "friends". She hasn't been stalking him recently, but has resorted to talking trash about him all over campus.

Only weight class less than Flyweights is Strawweight @ 115 lb. Only Japan uses that. But part of the reason UFC added Flyweight is hope the Japanese fighters have success so they can get more Japanese fans.
But now UFC ranges from 125 lbs (Fly) to 265 (Heavyweight).

HR departments are almost always repositories of the most wretched scum from the worst (read: most leftist) schools in the nation, with sociology and "studies" degrees being the dominant scholarly disciplines.
Consider this: they work HR in a filthy corporate environment because they weren't GOOD ENOUGH at their chosen majors to gain a university faculty position. Resentment, envy and terminal inferiority complexes are the norm in HR flunkies. Competence is a word that an HR drone couldn't find with a topographic map, compass, GPS, Loran receiver and a bag of bread crumbs.

Posted by: seamrog at March 02, 2012 10:35 PM (yCmKb)
I don't think that's a completely new theory. I think its the Pre-Clovis people they want to speculate as having a European origin, because some of the tools they had seem to correspond to tools found in France.

--I know that Chael Sonnen is a conservative Republican who has been interviewed a few times by Mark Levin.
He ran for office (I think state legislator in Oregon) recently, but I'm not sure to what success.
Beyond his politics, he's a total ham and goofball in his sports persona, which bodes well for future elections for him if his heart's in it.

Chael Sonnen is a funny guy. He has gotten busted for taking steroids and real estate fraud. So his ethics are pretty questionable. But he's a damn good fighter and funny. He does WWE style promos to build hype for his fights.
I think he has a Middleweight (185 lb) title shot in the next couple months.

The smaller weight classes can be fun to watch since they are just non-stop fists of fury. Downside is they usually don't have much power. So they can hit each other in the face 50 times and nobody goes down.
The big guys having the punching power, but they gas out early. So if they don't knock each other out in the first round they often end up just lying on each other in exhaustion. Which isn't very exciting. Heavyweight fights that go into the final round often ends like watching two tired walruses fight.

195 Okay, so I haven't clicked the link, but Drudge says that the Nuge endorsed Romney today. Thoughts and comments?
------
This is the extent of Uncle Ted's endorsement, which was conveyed via Twitter:
after a long heart&soul conversation with MittRomney today I concluded this goodman will properly represent we the people & I endorsed him
It's always hard for me to measure endorsements from libertarian types, particularly from the entertainment field. They've made their millions and in Ted's case are living basically off the grid. There's very little Romney could do to him except screw up his investment income in some way.

"As an employer-side litigator, I'll be interested to hear whether anything more comes of it. Keep us morons posted."
Well getting through a few of the emails, the majority so far are of the "what happened" variety, a few positive and only one negative. Funny thing though, the negative one was sent anonymously from a hotmail address and he misspelled "mother fucker" twice - he spelled it mother fukker.
I'll keep you folks posted, I have a feeling that whatever happens will happen on Monday when I go back to work.

#197 The Norse and Celts claim to have been there. Both became waterfaring people. If you can navigate to Iceland and Greenland, Nova Scotia ( Which I think translate to new Scotland) is not that much of a reach.
The Nordic Eddas or Sagas, and Brendan's Voyage may very well be factual. Who'll ever know?

Consider this: they work HR in a filthy corporate environment because they weren't GOOD ENOUGH at their chosen majors to gain a university faculty position. Resentment, envy and terminal inferiority complexes are the norm in HR flunkies. Competence is a word that an HR drone couldn't find with a topographic map, compass, GPS, Loran receiver and a bag of bread crumbs.

Went to a a STEM job fair a couple of weeks ago and started checking companies looking for entry-level mechanical engineers. Had an encounter with the HR chick of a company that does crash tests. Told her that I had a rather unique background since I had been a traffic crash reconstructionist for my police department. Her reaction? Stupid scrunt has the gall to tell me that I don't have any "real world" experience.
Different company, talked to an engineer: he was intrigued by my background. Took my resume and told me to fill out application on company web site. Got an email saying that my resume was going to be forwarded to appropriate work sections. No interview yet, but at least not the hearty f*ck you I got from the HR chick.

Are you retired and independently wealthy? If not, I wouldn't.
Some jackass on Twitter was haranguing Sister Toldjah and some other conservative (lady) bloggers about their pseudonyms. He uses his real name (which was something extremely common like John Davis or something) and is a lawyer (he says). But the funny thing is he has a picture of Michele Bachmann eating a corn dog as his Twitter avatar... whereas Sister Toldjah has her actual face.
Anyway, I wouldn't do it. It's best to keep plausible deniability in case the storm troopers come knocking.

@283: Ainu people are NOT what we call "Japanese." They are the indiginous inhabitants of that island. I guess PC types should call them "Native Japanese."
The Japanese apparantly originally hailed from Korea, and supplanted the Ainus, whom they despise. (Hell, they despise all non-Japanese, even Koreans, but the Ainus especially irk them since they live in the same country with them)
How much do they despise them?
Well, when I was a kid my copy of the Guinness Book of World Records listed the Ainus as "the world's most primitive people." (Heh! Bets THAT category disappeared sometimes in the late 80's!) It said they even had a residual tail!!
Pack of BS, of course, but who is most likely to have spread it, if not the Japs?

Well truthfully I have no idea how my employer will respond, I think if the head of HR had her way I know what the response would be, just from her reactions in the meeting - but at this stage I can't say with any certainty what will happen from here.
I will investigate it of course, just in case - truth is I'm not in any way prepared for a long legal battle, financially or otherwise, but it's been too many years since I tilted at a windmill - maybe it's long overdue.

unless you are sure you want to go all in and burn the boats cortes style I would think about it long and hard. I am not sure where you are or what you do in real life but you are likely to pay a price.
additionally, you will probably have to be more circumspect in your comments. if you are doing any venting or getting stupid on blogs for giggles you would probably not want to do that with your real name.

I've always thought that the best way for a threatened employee to protect himself from an adverse job action is to declare that he's converted to Islam and will need Friday afternoons off for prayer from now on. A written memo is the key here. You'll be radioactive and they'll treat you with kid gloves.
Post a few bin Laden pix in the cubicle for extra added effect, and maybe a SFW foldout of a cute little goat.

I think we fool ourselves about anonymity on the web.

If you are applying of a job, no liberal hiring manager is going to try and hack minx to get if you ever posted here.
If you have an unusual name though and he googles it and gets a particularly sharp comment...that could cost you a job right there.

My only concern is that at some point, there may be a situation where I would not be able to feed my family if I don't continue to hide. While I am happy to fight, I've got these DNPCs that might somehow be threatened.

Actually, I think we could really use an AoSHQ primer on civil disobedience, but conservative-style -- like what StuckOnStupid is doing. It is "disobedient" but it isn't what the idiot libs think the phrase mean with their chanting and sit-ins and the like. Perhaps something on what the law really says when it comes to challenging the work environment in your place to complain about casual leftist political statements where they don't belong, and what the employee's legal rights are and what the employer is legally allowed to do and not do.

In 1835 some Ngāti Mutunga and Ngāti Tama people, Māori from the Taranaki region of the North Island of New Zealand invaded the Chathams. On 19 November 1835, the Rodney,
a chartered European ship, arrived carrying 500 Maori armed with guns,
clubs and axes, followed by another ship with 400 more Maori on 5
December 1835. They proceeded to enslave some Moriori and kill and cannibalise
others. "Parties of warriors armed with muskets, clubs and tomahawks,
led by their chiefs, walked through Moriori tribal territories and
settlements without warning, permission or greeting. If the districts
were wanted by the invaders, they curtly informed the inhabitants that
their land had been taken and the Moriori living there were now
vassals."[11]
A council of Moriori elders was convened at the settlement called Te
Awapatiki. Despite knowing of the Māori predilection for killing and
eating the conquered, and despite the admonition by some of the elder
chiefs that the principle of Nunuku was not appropriate now, two chiefs —
Tapata and Torea — declared that "the law of Nunuku was not a strategy
for survival, to be varied as conditions changed; it was a moral
imperative."[12]
A Moriori survivor recalled: "[The Maori] commenced to kill us like
sheep.... [We] were terrified, fled to the bush, concealed ourselves in
holes underground, and in any place to escape our enemies. It was of no
avail; we were discovered and killed - men, women and children
indiscriminately." A Maori conqueror explained, "We took possession...
in accordance with our customs and we caught all the people. Not one
escaped....." [13]
After the invasion, Moriori were forbidden to marry Moriori, or to
have children with each other. All became slaves of the Ngati Tama and
Ngati Mutunga invaders. Many died from despair. Many Moriori women had
children by their Maori masters. A small number of Moriori women
eventually married either Maori or European men. Some were taken from
the Chathams and never returned. Only 101 Moriori out of a population of
about 2,000 were left alive by 1862 (Kopel et al., 2003). Although the
last Moriori of unmixed ancestry, Tommy Solomon,[14] died in 1933 there are several thousand mixed ancestry Moriori alive today.
An all-male group of German Moravian missionaries arrived in 1843.[15]
When a group of women were sent out to join them three years later,
several marriages ensued; a few members of the present-day population
can trace their ancestry back to those missionary families.

Did HR even exist before affirmative action? Smite me if you will, but
it's a valid question and I think I already know the answer.
That's part of it, fear of lawsuits is a great motivator, but not all of it. The degree of fiddly regulation that HR departments represent has crept up on us in the last 25 years. In the mid-80's, I went to work for a smallish company that is now a large company. They had 800 employees -- and one HR person. Can you imagine that now? It's all part of the creeping regulatory state. They tell us how much water our toilets can use (even in Seattle, which is awash in water), how much electricity our washing machines can use (one year they went too far and even the socialists at Consumer Reports blew the whistle on how the washing machines couldn't wash worth a damn), what sort of light bulbs we can use. When, exactly, did we as Americans sign up for this crap?
Sometimes I think the permanent bureaucracy is a greater threat than any politician.

Most of the time all you have to worry about is what comes up on the first page of Google when they search on your name. Most people are too lazy to do more than that.
Of course if you attract serious attention -- ie you commit a real crime and the Feds are after you, or you publicly embarrass Obama and become an official enemy of the Left -- then everything you do will be found. You can't hide anything from a powerful, determined enemy. How many sealed divorce records did Obama get released to destroy his enemies?
Avg employer won't do more than a cursory google search, though.

381 OK, I finally read the songs link. I knew at least half of them (some people really are gullible, aren't they?), but Tutti Frutti... man, what is the fascination some men have with that type of sex? Shit, you may as well be ghey if you're going to go that... ahem... "route."

as long as we are on the subject of primitives, when are we gonna do some splainin to the muslims about magic paper? a book is not sacred or magical. I suppose if they could read it they might appreciate that is the message of a book not the book itself that is important.

Brown people = virtuous innocents living happily in the forest like elves
Pale people = evil imperialists destroying the planet
This is simply an article of faith for liberals. Therefore when brown people do something bad, it can only be because pale people made them do it. Brown people have no agency, no free will, no capacity to act as moral beings. Only pale people can do that, and they are evil unless they are liberals.

And, yeah, the whole indigenous thing is stupid.
There is no tribe, race, ethnicity, or clan on the planet that are the direct descendants of the first humans to inhabit that piece of land.
Every tribe and ethnic group that controls some part of today's world got it by killing the people that were there before them. And probably raping their women.
No tribe or clan sprung out fully formed from the earth.
There ain't no such thing as indigenous.

My idiot ex numero dos had an encounter with Little Richard when he was at BH High School, probably late-sixties, early-seventies. In a hotel room. Dialed in by one of the dads who was some hotshot producer. Richard had vaseline all over his hands, showed them dirty pics and skeeved 'em all out. But not before Richard taught that angelic-looking child how to scream. Which was actually pretty cool and he had it forever.

Suppose you work in a school office and you pull Romney's records. You might get fired - and then have immediate job offers from a slew of leftwing "non profits".
Pull Obama's records and you WILL be fired, and the Obamaunists WILL make sure you never work again.
Conservatives tend to be good at cost/benefit analysis and so...they don't pull stunts like that.

Honest to Gosh, True Story. My uncle and his band used to open for Little Richard in Vegas and on tour.I was staying overnight at my Grandma's when at about 2AM my uncle wakes me up to surprise me. He and a buddy had made an unannounced stophome. Iwent down to the kitchen and I wasintroduced to Richard who was black. Grandma was not happy at all and figured they were in trouble of some sort. Anyway, next morning Uncle said he would take me to school and wanted to meet my teacher. We went to get into the car and here comes the black guy. I dreaded going into school with the black guy, we did not have any black kids in our school and I just knew this wasn't going to work out well, heck we still had a colored's drinking fountain marked out on the playground. (I was 9 and in 4th grade).As we walked through the halls to get to my room, people were reacting way weirder than I thought they would. We got to my room and Mrs. Moran got all giddy and was darn near ready to faint and in comes the Principal and he's all smiles and shaking their hands. It finally dawned on me that the Black guy was pretty famous, like my Uncle. At home that night, I finally got the guts to ask Richard what he was famous for. Uncle played some 45's with Little Richard, I don't remember which tunes, and I recognized them right away. I was in awe from then on. Little Richard was a hard core Bible thumping preacher and he left me his Bible when he left. It has his real name -Richard Pennyman-address that he wrote in there. I thought he was incredibly weird but really really nice. Oh and he likes his steakso rare it was raw inside. yick.

Honey badger? Probably, this passivity of mine is likely all talk. And yeah, I wonder if Newton might have not carried a two and fucked up the numbers or something.
The way our blessed Federal Republic is faltering right now (with factions perfectly demonstrating the lesson of the Trojan Horse) it seems pretty fuckin' close though, and he didn't set a date. He set the season. Was Sir Isaac Newton a stupid ass God respecting flat earth dumb ass? I am as ready as I need to be, recalling Romans 8:28 among other Scripture and living in the armor of having full faith in God.
Hey, Jesus fed thousands with a few fish and some bread. If He isn't a socialist, I want to be a successful fisherman or farmer that bakes!

Either that or start talking about unionization. In some states, that's a near absolute shield against termination, at least until the unionization vote is held.

Perhaps, but if you want to be successful at *anything* that is bigger then just one person you have to set the right incentives for people.

Perhaps, but if you want to be successful at *anything* that is bigger then just one person you have to set the right incentives for people.

Pull Obama's records and you WILL be fired, and the Obamaunists WILL make sure you never work again.
Yeah, but I still can't believe that after 4 years there isn't a single person willing to take one for the team like that. I would do it in a heartbeat. I am just fuckin' gobsmacked that no one at Oxy, Columbia or Harvard has ever felt the same. May they rot in hell . . .

Do you mean Kennewick Man?My understanding is he is generally seen as Ainu.
Posted by: 18-1 at March 02, 2012 11:37 PM (3aXbg) According to Wiki the first guy who studied him (chatters) found he was a caucasian. The second guy to study him said no he was Ainu. The first guy studied him again and said that other than height there was no other relation to the Ainu.So they really don't know what the fuck he was I guess, or they aren't telling.

The mainstreaming of anal sex sucks for those of us still dating. I have no interest in coating my dick in a thin layer of fecal residue. But a lot of women under 35 or so have done it these days. And, in my experience, when chicks get serious they want to make sure they give you everything they gave any old boyfriends. They feel guilty. Plus, if they've done it and they know that I think it's disgusting and gross, then they feel like I think they are disgusting and gross. Which I do kinda.
Girl I dated wanted me to do it just cause her old boyfriend had. She didn't even like it. And only did it twice, But it really bothered her that I wouldn't do it. She just wanted to do it so we could cross that off and never do it again. And the more we talked about it the more grossed out I got. At which point I just ended it.
If she just had never told me everything would've been cool. But chicks always gotta confess their entire sexual history if they think it's a serious relationship.

One good tactic to defeat the googling is to post a # of very positive, very public article and stories about yourself.
The goal is to just fill that first google page with positive info. Search engine optimize yourself. You just want to make sure any negative shit is pushed off to the 2nd or 3rd page of results.

How many of his school records are hidden, to this day? Pretty much all
of them, right? Is our side just not powerful or determined enough?
His records are probably not bad, or at least not obviously bad. So somebody might have gotten them but decided it wasn't worth the fallout from making them public. I think Obama didn't release them not because they're bad but because he's "special" and doesn't feel he has to do things that mere mortal candidates have to do.

Apparently! I am sure there was a reason my Uncle stayed in LA and rarely came home to visit. He was murdered in 1992(never solved, but I have some theories!) At the time of his untimely death, he co-owned a very seedy manufacturing plant that produced mail-order dildo's and other fun stuff. My poor Grandmother, at the funeral and oblivious to my Uncle's businesses in later years, faced his business partner in the line up after the service. My mom and aunt were on either side of her when she asked who he was. He answered that he was the Uncle's business partner. Grandma was stunned and told him she had no idea he was in a business. She asked him what type of business and my Aunt, bless her, jumped in and said they manufactered prothesis. The partner looked me right in the eye and I swear they glowed red but he held the secret. I will be forever changed by that funeral. A friend who was a professional ventrilaquist brought his little buddy and together they delivered a eulogy. Another friend cried so much through his eulogy that it was more amazing thansad and cried out at the end with hands raised that Uncle would never walk alone.It was like a Circus showed up to put on a show. I am rambling memories, here, sorry. Done.

Well, apologies folks, finally got finished with all the incoming email, the final tally was rather interesting actually. Most folks of course just wanted to know what happened, and once they got the whole story that was it, which was more or less what I expected.
I had about 10 positive messages thus far, mostly people expressing the fact that they shared my views but much like me never spoke up, in fear that they too might suffer blow back. One rather interesting one, the guy said he was a registered democrat and that he probably wouldn't agree with me on most stuff but that he thought I was in the right on this one, he actually pointed out that by HR regs no one is supposed to be wearing "attire that features political images or messages" and are not supposed to avoid "speaking or discussing controversial or political topics at work, whenever possible".
I got 6 negative, maybe 5 really - the 6th one came from a unique hotmail address but the guy called me a mother "fukker" again, 4 times this time, and it was misspelled in the same way all 4 times.
Of the 5-6 negatives, only 2 threatened violence against me personally (including the guy that called me a "mother fukker"). Several of the emails warned that I should certainly be very aware of how exposed my cubicle was and that they wouldn't be "surprised" if some "others" expressed there outrage by vandalizing it's contents. Almost all of them promised that I would now be ostracized at work.
Final count on the emails is 43 at the moment. As promised, I'll keep you posted.

His records are probably not bad, or at least not obviously bad. So somebody might have gotten them but decided it wasn't worth the fallout from making them public. I think Obama didn't release them not because they're bad but because he's "special" and doesn't feel he has to do things that mere mortal candidates have to do.
Posted by: Heorot at March 03, 2012 12:03 AM (xXGK4) Maybe, Harvard had an AA dealio that let you graduate cum laude without really having the grades to back it up when Obama graduated. I was thinking it was something like that.If they were great grades he would have released then to show us how awesome he is.

It's not about the grades. It's about what name he matriculated under. What nationality he declared. That is the reason he has literally spent millions to keep them on the downlow. He's a shitbird of the first order and we need to get his ass out. Even if it means Willard, as much as it kills me to say such a thing.

Rush was speaking to the liberal philosophies which are wholly at odds with who we are as a people organized under the polis of self-reliance and the pursuit of happiness.
2. We may have a so called, bloggers roundtable in the near future on the West Coast, likely West L.A.in honor of Andrew Breitbart, organizedhopefully through TheDaily Caller with the underwriting help of Hugh Hewitt.
Thank you and keep Breitbart and his family close in your prayers and let's look at thehorizon toward our goals not at the ground counting cracks.

Hi logprof!
We're being careful about pumping it.
It's making about 30-35 BOPD of high quality 43 gravity oil and we're about to kick it up to 50-plus and beyond.
It may eventually do 200,000 barrels or more. Quite a nice discovery. The first new Tyler Sand field in North Dakota in over 20 years.
I'll send you a video.
Sold about a thousand barrels over the past two weeks.

My neighbor has a SubZero and has had nothing fut trouble with it. Now it has an interal freon leak and he has to have it charged yearly. That damn thing isn't 4 years old. According to the serviceman, the assumed location of the leak makes it unrepairable or at least not worth repairing.

"I'd certainly keep copies of the hostile emails, just for future
reference if necessary. Especially the ones threatening violence of any
sort against you, even if it's just fucking up the cube."
Yup.. got copies of everything, including the original email from HR about the T-shirt and the follow up email from the guy's supervisor that started all of this nonsense, plus of course the emails I sent in response and everything that has come in and out of the personal email account I gave them, so it's all covered.
Also just got an email from my supervisor, she thanked me for moving the whole thing to personal email and not using the work email for this, and also wanted me to let her know if anyone from HR or anyone else contacted me about this, she wants to make sure that they don't try to do an end run around her and she wants to be present for anything that the HR director might have to say on the subject.

I got outvoted in what type of fridge to buy and now I get to throw in $2500 for something...
For that kind of money, each roommate could have had their OWN freaking reasonably high end fridge.
You need to move out. Its painful living with people who go full retard like this.

For those of you that are not visiting Drudge anymore there was a story about how the LA schools are not allowing blindfolds to be used in classrooms any more because one of the teachers was taking photos of himself feeding spoonfuls of sperm to blindfolded kids.
you know that was not even on my list of things to worry about. I guess I am going to have to review the whole worst case scenario file.

"If they were stupid enough to send those on their personal emails make sure to turn them over to HR."
Agreed. Stupid e-mails have brought down a lot of nasty people the last few years. Which seems sort of weird since it's the liberals who pride themselves on their tech savvy and yet constantly forget that the internet is forever.

Hey, I'm all for democratic rule, to a point - but if it were me at this point I'd just tell them flat out, "Look guys, I'm not going to throw in $2500 to pay for 1/3rd the cost of a fridge. You can get a damn nice fridge for a lot less than that, and wasting $2500 on a fridge is just silly. So, if you guys are dead set on getting this thing, you can split the cost in half, and I'll just buy a small fridge for my room."

The internal evap coil is the only thing that would be a PITA to replace. The compressor and condenser would be readily accessible. I'd buy a temporary use used fridge for a few days and take the fucker apart myself and make the evap coil accessible. A coil swap with the stuff all accessible and removed would be a cheap fast job.

Told a story about how he told some ACLU bigwig that he was (basically) an asshole for fighting the death penalty by calling it unconstitutional -- no other arguments, just clog the court every time. Kanbar says, what's this cruel and unusual nonsense? When Jefferson was president, if you stole a horse, they strung you up. Nothing unusual about it. :-> However, 39% marginal tax rates are cruel and unusual.

I had a college roommate - dorm room - and his girlfriend was probably literally a moron. She was constantly pestering him to have anal sex; him on her not the way the obamas do it. I know this because they were always asking my thoughts on the matter.
Anyway he eventually give in and says fine, but - no pun intended- I am not going to stop until I finish like it or not and , and if she akes him stop they will never do it again. She goes on and on about how she can take it if he can and all kinds of really stupid stuff.
So in the middle of the night I am roused from my drunken stupor by shrieks and screams. Not their usual shrieks and moans but real shrieks and screams. He is driving away and she is screaming about how much it hurts. Sounding more like a big brother trying to get a little brother to cry uncle he keeps yelling "ya want me to quit, ya want me to quit!" She keeps yelling no, no, don't quit" followed by the same two vulgar words.
Anyway, this goes on for a good ten minutes before they finish. When they are all done he says "so ya gonna wanna do that again?" and she replies "probably not for a day or two."
A couple of days later, same thing all over again.

Epic fuck up at the UFC fight.
The australian commissioner misread the judges score-card. It was a 3 round fight. Uncle Creepy vs Mighty Mouse. Judges had it a draw. Which would have meant a sudden death 4th round.
But the aussie idiot read a 10-8 score as 10-9 and declared Mighty Mouse the winner.
Now they have to have a rematch. But first they have to heal up for a few months.
This was a tourney so it delays crowing a Flyweight champion.

Also, StuckOnStupid, you're the man. When I lived in Madison, WI, I never let a Che shirt pass without a fun comment. I started wearing a Reagan t-shirt that looked like the Che shirt, and it tripped up quite a few liberals. They were fun and friendly, asking about what it said, until they got up close and I'd smile and tell them, "Viva la Reagan Revolucion!" Their faces would drop.
I actually got confronted by a prominant smart military blogger on our side (BlackfiveO. He was in disguise, so I thought he was just another lib looking to shout something crude at me. It was a pleasant surprise for both of us.

"It's good that you're getting support from your supervisor. Chemjeff may
be right that this will turn out to be a really good thing, at least
for the others in your company who just found out they were not alone."
I hope so, in the response email I sent out to the "What the heck happened" inquiries I basically explained that I don't normally talk politics at work, that I didn't intend for that to change as I feel that such discussions really don't belong in the workplace. But that because of recent events I just couldn't in good conscience sit by have others promote their politically ideology in a loud and offensive manner and say nothing.
I did explain that I had no intention of involving HR, that I took the matter up with the person individually, explained my point of view to him and trusted him to be mature enough to realize that regardless of his political views that if his shirt was indeed offensive that he had plenty of others he could wear that were not.
Instead this individual decided to report me to HR, and that is how this all began. I also explained that the supervisor in question was well aware of this fact, since he was the one that contacted HR and that he had actually attended the meeting. So his email saying that I was the one that registered a complaint was, frankly, a lie.
So I did try to keep it professional - and I hope in the long run it will turn out to be a good thing. But regardless I have no regrets.

The best places are still the hole in the wall places where they don't speak any English, but Tote is damn good food, and lots of cute girls running around. When I was reassigned to Ft. Huachuca in AZ, I would regularly drive up to Tucson for the weekends. I almost wept when I discovered a Tote on the east side.

I watched last night's RED EYE today, and it made me feel a lot better
about the whole Andrew Breitbart thing.
Look, don't take this the wrong way, but Breitbart lived exactly the way he wanted to live, and it cost him his life. Every eulogy I've read of Breitbart includes stories of he and the author drinking until dawn. His friend Michael Walsh said that Breitbart had untreated hypertension, and today Bill Whittle revealed that Breitbart had had a major heart attack before this final one. And in the Red Eye tribute, Gutfield reveals at some point that Breitbart smoked.
He never slept, he smoked, he drank constantly, he was seriously overweight, he had a history of heart disease, he had untreated high blood pressure, and by all accounts his anger was genuine. He looked much older than 43, which shows how his lifestyle had impacted him.
I'm saddened by his death, because I admired him. But there was no reason in the world for this to have happened. His father-in-law said he hadn't seen a doctor in over a year. A cardiac patient who refuses to see a doctor?
Life is so precious. We should treat it with the respect and care it deserves. Now, those four kids are fatherless and a young woman is a widow. No amount of success or fame or power or influence is worth killing yourself over.
Let that be Andrew Breitbart's final message. Take care of yourself, because you can and will die young if you don't, and you won't get to do all the things you'd planned, and you'll leave people behind who are shattered by your loss. A life cut short is a terrible tragedy. We can already die of a million causes at any time. Making lifestyle choices that are guaranteed to kill you is a hideous waste, especially when you're as gifted as Breitbart.

Back in the day, we were sitting around waiting to do some good ol' Army training, and one of the Captains decided to tell a buttsex story about another officer.....without naming him.
Seems that this less-than-attractive officer had a stunningly beautiful wife, and he was obsessed with dorking her squeekhole. They tried a few times, but she just couldn't get the hang of it, it just hurt her too much.
Eventually, he thought to himself "Anbesol works pretty good........" and he brought it up with the wife, who agreed. Date night arrives and he breaks out the Anbesol, pours a dollup in his hand and slaps it on.
Apparently, when applied to buttholes, it BURNS.
She whipped around and socked him in the eye, and he was sporting a shiner for two weeks afterwards.
We all had a good laugh over this anonymous officer, especially over the fact that he had actually told the Captain all the gory details about his misadventure.
One of us enlisted, the Battalion Commander's driver, cocked his head and said "y'know, that sounds a LOT like Captain Smith over at Brigade"
Silence. Then uproarious laughter, and a Captain literally begging us enlisted men to keep our traps shut.

IIRC, Timothy Zahn (author of the "Heir to the Empire" SW book series) originally pitched the idea of "the Sith" to be another name for the Noghri creatures that the Emperor and Vader used as their personal assassins, therefore Vader would have the title of "Lord of the Sith". Obviously, this idea was discarded in favor of the Sith being the name of the Force-sensitives that used the Dark Side of the Force.

A man walks into a bar and orders a shot of Whiskey and downs it immediately. He orders another shot and drinks that down just as fast. Gets a third and the same thing.
Bartender asks "what's the occasion?"
The Manreplies "I just had my first blow job"
"Well congratulations this next shot is on the house"
"Alright but the first three haven't gotten the taste out of my mouth so I don't think the 4th will help"

--Has it occurred to you that some of the high-flying, hard-living
traits Andrew possessed may have also attracted his wife to him?
I'm not implying any moral dimension to the matter, just offering an explanation.
I'm not implying any moral dimension, either. In one of the National Review eulogies the author referred to Breitbart's "long-suffering" wife, who would just shrug helplessly when someone would bring up his lack of sleep and his refusal to slow down, ever.
My intention isn't to be critical. I'm just saying that when a man with such serious health issues does every possible thing he can to exacerbate those particular health issues, the inevitable will happen.
The saddest thing to me is that one of the eulogies said he was afraid of dying. He didn't like to contemplate the thought of not being here anymore. Since I'm convinced that the soul survives the death of the body, I know he still exists somewhere, but not here. And that's a waste and a tragedy.

"Dark Lord of the Sith" existed as a title before Zahn's novels. He wanted his short super-assassins to be those Sith, in a way that I think is sort of like his attempts to give definition to what the Clone Wars were (and should have been.) But they stopped him from doing that so he went with noghri. The novels are still supposed to imply a resemblance between the facial structure of the Noghri and Vader's mask though.
Loved how Zahn almost always started his novels with a Star Destroyer in space. Just like the Original Trilogies always began.

As they grow, Breitbart's children, I hope, will appreciate that their father held nothing back and lived life to the full, in large part so their own lives could be a little safer.

Here's another aspect of Breitbart's death: When someone close to you has very serious health issues but refuses to do anything to alleviate them, and in fact seems to be working overtime to make themselves sicker, you inevitably begin to distance yourself from them emotionally.
That's another tragedy. I've been through it with friends, and now I'm going through it with my father. He's a diabetic and cardiac patient who simply refuses to eat well or exercise. His favorite meal is a salami-and-cheese sandwich at least two inches thick. With mayo. Followed by cookies, ice cream, or pie.
It's simply too stressful to care deeply about someone who seems hellbent on killing themselves, so what happens is you end up withdrawing. You do it to preserve your sanity.
It's a terrible position to be put into. It's a Hobson's choice: Either you continue caring, in which case you ruin your own health and mind, or you withdraw, in which case you lose a connection with someone to whom you were once close.

Now I'm kinda mad at him for not taking care of himself. I'm still not sure I believe he didn't go to the doctor after having the heart attack. Did he just check himself out of the hospital and pretend it never happened?
The best revenge is living well. Dick Cheney probably has the worst heart genes on the planet, but he accomplished tremendous amounts for his causes and his beliefs. He had his first heart attack in his 30s I think.

thats her conclusion re most guys her age. they are losers! Grim and I are pretty sure she might be gay. Yes, if I think my kid is gay and I love the kid, I got a choice: either I gotta ignore it, (Unacceptable option) or tell the little monster I love her and dont care what she does with their personal life as long as she chooses to do it with fine people. Z Shes overcome a lot of adversity, and she was taken in by me when she was 14. im not gonna add to her damage.
Besides if you act bored and just offer to help her do it properly, lotta times if shes doing shit for effect it takes all the fun outta it. No rebellion, so she loses interest in that scandal, and go on to figure out other ways to give me grey hairs...

1. As a guy, I can't bring myself to blame/dislike anyone's appreciation of the female form divine. If they're male, it's "I saw her first" -- and if they're female, it's "what can I say, you're right."
2. On the flip side, and with somewhat more concern, I note that she may be reacting to the wild oversexualization of the culture. She may be attracted to manly traits and behaviors, but find that the background level of sexual stimulation dampens her drive toward associating sex with individual persons.....which -- though understandable -- is sad.

the really sad thing is that shes had long unhappy talks with Grim about how all the guys her age are raging assholes. Grimmy whose business is pretty much Stock in trade is young men had to break it to her. Maybe one in fourty of these jerkoff is ok to go out with her, and of them, they have tastes and preferences too and those may run to tall and dark haired not ginger with a strong nose, which means even tho she is a DOLL, she may not meet that guy for a while yet unless she gets her ass out there and LOOKS for him. Right now shes hangin with some losers who i would have considered too Lame to play Advanced DD with and thats mostly because she has classes with her and know better than to treat her like meat. Now if one of them would get a real job and a clue, I would feel better. Till then... Im not fussy, job, reasonably mainstream religious practices, nice manners and good hygiene, Non sociopathic, with a nice manner of treating my girl, and i would be pleased for the kid to date them.

It sounds like the attraction is there -- though banked from the raging fire it can become -- but she's possibly overcautious.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that I haven't done any surveys of the LA mid-20's male population for relationship potential....but it should be noted that looking for a one-in-a-million guy in LA....means that there are 18 of 'em wandering around. Encourage her excitement about finding such a one, and steer her toward places/events/activities where such a one may be found. If she's despairing of the prospects of "looking for love in all the wrong places", she's probably right.

2. Is it wine before beer, or beer before wine? Which one gets you complete FUBAR, and which one just makes you yack and feel like shit the next day? Oh, tip, I'm looking for getting FUBAR. Not into the yakkin thing, though I know some people get off on that and even pay extra. Not my bag, baby.
3. I forget what three is for. Anal. Pron. Anal pron. Who knows. I don't care. I put my wine in the freezer to get cold and it froze solid, and I'm bummed. Kinda. Been drinking beer and the little little bit of applejack what was left. I knew I shoulda bought some Val-U-Rite and now it's too late and I can't because I live in an assbackwards state where you can't get booze at 3am. How utterly primitive.
This may be off topic. I dunno.

Anybody remember an old ONT post that involved a waterborne creature that would swim up the male urethra and attach itself to the inside of the penis? Not that I'm fixated or anything, but the bug was called a Fluke.
I have pretty much decided not to bug out "in case of fire." I have a defensible position, neighbors who I may not care for personally but have fierce property-rights convictions (and maybe a few other convictions) of their own, so we can para-mil up for common defence if it comes to that. I have a lot of tools, arable land, bunker of sorts, etc. My only problem is water. We have plenty of rain. But I'm smack on top of the Old Ohio Dome, and whenever I try to drill a well, I hit oil. Damn it all.
The best retort to a Che T-shirt is an Andrew Breitbart T-shirt.

""Hey Bers. How'r things?

Eh same old shit.
That sucks about the gig. About 15 years I wasted a finger really bad on an electric planer. I was fucking lucky, I only lost the bottom of the first finger under the nail on the playing/fingering hand. I didn't lose any nail or actual finger, but I needed a skin graft to save it. I was in between bands at the time, but I was filling in with a friend's band who needed a second guitar player, so I would jump in for a few of the 2 guitar player tunes they did. 2 weeks after the accident I was playing with a bandaid, but using only 3 of my fingers for leads. I was determined.
Had a gig cancelled today cuz the guitar player fugged up his finger. Shit.""
Eh same old shit.

I'm guessing the microwave would be a BAD IDEA, all caps and all to show that it would be more then the average level of bad, so far as ideas go.
jc, yeah, I am perverse in the sense that I tend to solicit advice just to do the opposite. It has to do with my low opinion regardin humanity. Buncha thievin bastards them humans. Can't trust 'em not a one.

gushka, the trick with ferals is to make friends when they are still kittens. My parents have a feral, and they love him. My brother has two ferals from my back porch, I had gotten them used to being lap caps in a couple days -- but they had just been weaned. I mean by days, they kept trying to go back to momma cat but she would swat them off.
I have three cats, their momma cat was feral (a different one) and they are as sweet and friendly as bred cats. Nothin' wrong with a feral cat, you just have to find 'em before they get old, bitter, and cynical.
Like guys, if you think about it.

Oh, I have a starter cat, too, he was a bred cat but couldn't handle a multiple cat house before so kind of a rescue. he does ok now, so four cats in total. But I'm not gay. I've heard that guys with cats have to specify that. Dunno why.

Oh, gawd -- Ace is flailing away on twitter about the slut testimony. Wrestle the narrative away! Her testimony cannot be allowed to stand because it's: (1) from a self-confessed dumbass or slut (if birth control costs her $1000/year, ir's one or the other), (2) from a professional Dem [but I repeat myself...], (3) irrelevant to the unfunded medical care out there, (4) duplicative to nongovernmental prophylactics available out there, and (5) tangential to the freedom of contract from religiously-minded organizations.

I'm not on twitter, so I'll try it here. Rush called Fluke a slut. That's 'cause she claimed to spend $1000/year on contraception. Proper follow-on commentary -- she's a slut or a dumbass, 'cause that's three rubbers/day. Either she's on her back most of the time, or she can't shop worth a shit. PICK ONE.

Any BS about "it's not nice to call someone a whore" needs to be countered with "I didn't want to call her a dumbass or a liar -- she's clearly one of the three."

Ace, I love you like a brother, but it's all about rejecting the narrative. If you buy into the narrative that any scrunt with a vagina can whine about policy, you're ACCEPTING the narrative frame -- and the reason that this is craptastic is secondary. It could be craptastic because she's a shill, a whore, or an idiot -- there's ample evidence for each. The point is that the narrative is being pushed by lies and manipulation. If you grant Tapeworm -- sorry, "Fluke" -- any relevance at all, you advance the narrative. Shooting her down sixteen ways from Sunday shows how empty and hollow the Dems' argument is.

If she wants to fuck $1000 worth, fine. She can earn her own damn $1000 and fuck it all away. Who gives a shit? It is her life, she can run it. The unacceptable part started and ends when she expects you and me to pay for it.

Getting there, getting there.....but why should she be giving congressional testimony? Why should she be "the face of policy"? Because the Dems can put up any deluded nymphomaniac scrunt and we're supposed to fall over ourselves to bail her out of her own flailing messes.
That's the meme. That's the common thread. That's the hook. It's not about cushioning those who have seen hardship from circumstances beyond their control -- it's about being bailed out from failures arising from actions contrary to traditional values.

IIRC, Timothy Zahn (author of the "Heir to the Empire" SW book series) originally pitched the idea of "the Sith" to be another name for the Noghri creatures that the Emperor and Vader used as their personal assassins, therefore Vader would have the title of "Lord of the Sith". Obviously, this idea was discarded in favor of the Sith being the name of the Force-sensitives that used the Dark Side of the Force.
Posted by: Kratos (Ghost of Sparta) at March 03, 2012 12:58 AM (UR5vq)
"Dark Lord of the Sith" existed as a title before Zahn's novels. He wanted his short super-assassins to be those Sith, in a way that I think is sort of like his attempts to give definition to what the Clone Wars were (and should have been.) But they stopped him from doing that so he went with noghri. The novels are still supposed to imply a resemblance between the facial structure of the Noghri and Vader's mask though.
Loved how Zahn almost always started his novels with a Star Destroyer in space. Just like the Original Trilogies always began.

In Star Wars continuity, the Sith were an aien race from the planet Korriban conquered by Dark Jedi who subsequently titled themselves Dark Lords Of The Sith.

Getting

testimony? Why should she be "the face of policy"? Because the Dems can
put up any deluded nymphomaniac scrunt and we're supposed to fall over
ourselves to bail her out of her own flailing messes.
That's the

actions contrary to traditional values.

cuz it is a sucker's play. you have a BH. you know better than to argue details with a woman --Second this is all a setup to change the subject to sex, when the only real subject is the D's are fucking slavers and should be treated as such.
We need to stick to the premise. I am not their slave. They can pay their own fucking bills.

Here's an example of the difference between details and a premise.
Adult man marries an adult woman. Adult man is not a heavy partier, but one time in 6 months goes out drinking with his buddies and comes home at 3 AM. Adult woman pitches fit -- he can:
a) listen to every one of her details about the situation, or
b) keep the subject on the premise -- does she have the authority in their relationship to tell him what he can do, and with whom, and for how long? Maybe he can call before hand. Maybe he can invite her along, or not, cuz hopefully they are actually friends.
But, if he starts arguing the details of his night out with the boys, he needs to be sure he does not accept the premise that she has the right to tell him what to do.
-----
same thing arguing with Dems. Their premise is we are their slaves, and they get to spend what we produce. I refuse to accept the premise. They can take all their sob story details and shove them up their asses. I am not their slave.

Good Morning ONT Morons
So BI, the libtard magazine of stuff recommends a lot of cities to go to after the coming doomy collapse. Show you what dumbasses they are. As always, I recommend that you live at least 30 miles from any city with a population greater than 30K. And that isn't because that will make you safe. It is to allow you time to get the hell out to your alternate location when the doom comes. I prefer WY for that.

That is known as the "tyranny of the majority", or shorter, mob rule. This is what the Constitution is supposed to prevent, which is what differentiated the U.S. from earlier Democracies.
But what is really ironic is that the founding father thought the bill of rights was not needed because the Constitution only gave a limited amount of power to the federal government.
But Ben Franklin, who I disagree with on some scores, knew better. No piece of paper can keep people free. The writing on that piece of paper has to be enforced as it is written. if it is not, it is worthless. And that my fellow Morons is where we are at today.

Nor do we care what sob story they have in store for us as their justification for why they should own us. We have god given individual rights and we always have.

What really pisses me off is that Congress has handed off rule making authority to thousands of government agencies who can control our everyday lives down to how and what we will eat and shit. And they do that via executive fiat......so let it be written, so let it be done.
And unless you have an endless supply of money to drag these things to the Supreme Court one at a time, there is nothing you can do. Voting in republicans sure hasn't managed to do anything about all these bureaucracies.
And BTW, Congress can not hand off that authority legally which is yet another violation of the Constitution.

This "bare the neck for pity" ploy is the foundation of the welfare state. The only correct response is to swing the axe.

Must be on the Fluke slut story. This is what I have written this morning for the "news" thread:
And the big news in nearly every paper in the country, or at least the ones I monitor. Its Rush's calling of the lying Georgetown scrunt a slut. Then they have the audacity to say Dems are taking advantage of it. One wonders how many of these papers promoted big stories when Dem talking heads trashed Condaliza Rice and other Bush officials? None you say? How about that.
But that is not the issue. The issue, as ace stated it yesterday is Rush. Should we be defending him and has he given the enemy ammunition? Should we not attack them in this manner calling their lying witness a slut? I say we should be attacking them relentlessly. When they pile on Rush we should not defend Rush. Hell, we shouldn't even mention him.
We should attack the shit out of them on what they are trying to hide, the economy, gas prices, unemployment, inflation et al. And we should say that all this birth control crap is just a huge distraction THEY dreamed up to get the public off their absolute failure. Do not mention Rush at all. To the pundits, if asked directly remark that a lying college student is not the issue, the economy is the issue. Do not mention Rush at all.

Maybe you are right but I fear you are not. My guess is their control of the corporate media will allow these scum to just change the subject to "conservatives are all upset about sex again." Those arguing the details will be caught flatfooted again cuz the argument will cease to make the slightest bit of sense. Once again, those folks arguing the correct side of the details will try to employ logic to their own demise. They will be winning, but winning the wrong battle.
We've seen it hundreds of times. They are liars who constantly change the subject and refuse to acknowledge any logic. There is absolutely no way of winning a logical reasoned debate when the other side completely owns the media.
The other choice is just to ignore the details and reject the premise. That bitch has no right to anybody else's income regardless of how she intends to waste the money.

Sometimes, hell a lot of times, I think Fox purposely goes after shitty Republicans and bad talking heads to make it appear they are "fair and balanced" but in reality to put forth the weakest defense possible.
Republicans, and conservatives especially, need to make a lot more use of alternative media.
the corporate media will allow these scum to just change the subject to
"conservatives are all upset about sex again.

And the big news in nearly every paper in the country, or at least the ones I monitor.
This is harming the left with the people that count, and the MFM fucks who cannot see past the confines of their hipster bubble have no clue about how badly they are shooting themselves in the foot by publicizing it.
Fluke's *telling* her bullshit story in public was appalling on enough levels to give any person with even a shred of decency reason to despise the bitch: the behavior suggested, the total bullshit costs, the public airing, and the very idea that the taxpayer should be on the hook for her expenses.
As far as double standards go, I would be equally disgusted with any male who testified to the same.
The left is pushing the "intolerance" angle to paint decent people as bigots as to deny them the moral authority even to comment. So be it. Let's have that fight. Filth like Fluke hand me the moral authority to trash their costly unwillingness to overcome their animal impulses the moment they ask me to subsidize that behavior from my pockets. Suck it. My cash, my rules.

Republicans don't need to run from the media. They need to change tactics. Phrases I would use would include: 'relentlessly noncooperative' and 'refuse to engage in details, except to list off the failures of the other side.'
For example:Leftwing talking head @ corporate media show: "So, Republican Senator, yabba yabba (insert leftwing scare tactic about Republicans and sex disguised as some sort of a question) yabba yabba?"Republican Senator: (coached to be relentlessly noncooperative and always on the attachk) "The only reason you asked that question is to try to change the subject away from the fact that Obama and Harry Reid are so completely incompetent that we haven't even had a budget in over 1000 days."

This is the point where I always conclude that we need to start our own parade rather than try to follow any politicians. They are too beholden to the corporate media and we get screwed in the end. We have to deny the media that power as the unruly mob. No politician can be survive the onslaught if they are identified as actually fighting back against corporate media power.

There is absolutely no way of winning a logical reasoned debate when the other side completely owns the media.
You've undermined your own argument with this.
Had Rush Limbaugh simply played the scrunt's obvious lies and said, "the taxpayers are not your slave," then this would never have seen the light of day outside of his listeners.
I think this was a shrewdly calculated play, and it will win where it counts with the people who count. The OWS 99/1 breakdown made no damned sense. Fluke is a natural fit to represent "the other" in the minds of *decent* people everywhere, and the raunchiness at the core is necessary to make this happen.

Now, I think you are I are actually on the same page.
I think we've always been on the same page.
The problem is that there has to be a vector to get reasoned arguments past the MFM shields. Fluke provided that vector with her dumbass story: "I'm a slut who demands that the taxpayers cover my sex expenses despite the fact that I'm on the fast-track to OWS one-percenthood, and I will shout this story without shame from the mountaintops for all to hear."
This Fluke business has and will continue to animate the overrepresented hipster bubble crowd because of "ugly and intolerant moralizing religious bigotry," but the scrunt's story is over the top.
The one-line argument should anyone raise the topic in real life is: "I cannot imagine how embarrassed her family must have been to hear their daughter testify about her sexual exploits in front of God any everybody."
Also, any GOPer who starts abusing the MFM the way you recommend--excellent recommendations, BTW--will find himself cut off. These would effectively be kamikaze attacks.

They are electable. This is going to remind you a lot of 1980 again. The media will boost Obutthead. They will lie about everything and they will run bogus polls that wildly oversample Obutthead supporters. They will push R doom at every opportunity. The polls won't tighten until the last 3 days.
In the end, people will vote based on their pocketbooks again. The only questions left are:
a) what about fraud?
b) has the government finally managed to get 50% + 1 Americans on the take so voting their pocketbook is a vote for the welfare state?
c) will the right actually be dumb enough to let the media set the agenda or will they stay on message with some discipline?

Another point to be made is there is going to be a lag time between a change in tactics and the reaction to that change. It may take the media a few weeks before they recognize that the formerly 'normally reliable' interviews have changed. At the very least, the first few interviews where the formerly willing victims are refusing to engage in distractions and are staying relentlessly on message about the failures of the incompetent boobs currently in charge will be broadcast.

I'm not worried about the election. I have a boundary condition. Either Obama gets decisively stomped based on the economy and his poor performance, or it's game over anyway.
Obama is the culmination of over two centuries' relentless erosion of the rule of law. Words have lost their meanings, truth has lost its authority, and reason plays second fiddle to emotional sympathy. We are a mob-rule democracy, and we have been since long before anyone here was born.
We have had plenty of would-be tyrants as POTUS, but all were held in check by their own decency or by decent people who stood in their way.
Obama has no decency. Obama has no internal limits. The jury is still out on whether the people ostensibly representing me as his opposition have the juice to stand in his way.
It comes down to the election in November. If Obama gets his ass rightfully curb-stomped, then we have a chance. If Obama loses in a squeaker, then we're fucked because the GOP will sit on their asses as is their wont, lamenting a lack of a mandate. If Obama wins--whether close or in a landslide--he will claim a mandate for his agenda, and he will start ruling by executive order before the end of the next day.
Fuck it. Draw the battlelines on all three legs of the stool, run it up the flagpole, and see where the chips fall.

One of the reasons I engage in these discussions is I am desperate for an idea to take the media down a whole bunch of pegs. We are already slowly starving print media. Even so, their behavior is still only getting worse and I have no idea when or if they will ever catch on.
I absolutely loved it when Breitbart told them all it wasn't their biz plan that sucked, it is they personally who suck.
I keep hoping that someone out in the real world is going to blunder across the right answer. I hope I get a chance to read it and I hope I recognize the value of it at when I see it.

jc: True. But I am damned if I can see where appeasing the bastards will help anything.
The incumbent GOPers need access to get reelected. Charitably stipulating a true conservative whose only thought is for the good of the country, the justification for his timidity could be: "I can most effectively push conservatism by keeping my seat."
Vic: What would be good is to get rid of all the weak-kneed R's so that in order to interview ANY Republican they get a good one.
Yep. I'm with you on this. I'd like to see all the RINO senators gone. While it's true that RINOs are the best we can get in the blue states, keeping the balance close gives ticket-splitters cover to put up those damned democrat senators from red states. Also, the deepest cache of political capital any politician has is selling out his base/party.
jc: Another point to be made is there is going to be a lag time between a change in tactics and the reaction to that change.
I'd bet that the MFM has its triggers already in place. Should anyone ever try this, the MFM would retaliate against every GOPer knowing that there are plenty of weak sister fifth-columnists in the leadership who will knock these guys back in line.
Sadly, I think the only way to get these points across is by hitching them as poison pills on shit the MFM will push like the Fluke story.

Sadly, I think the only way to get these points across is by
hitching them as poison pills on shit the MFM will push like the Fluke
story.

If that is actually the truth, then the only hope is for people like you and I to adopt some 'Art of War' tactics and set out to bring the corporate media down. If our representatives can't do it, you are only left with two choices -- accept it, or join the fight.

Built into your analysis is everyone sitting on their hands after the election. What if we don't. Obama's power depends on meek acceptance. What if we don't meekly accept it? Do you think he will kill or jail everyone who boycotts or participates in general strikes?
This is a different topic that I barely addressed as "game over." Meek acceptance requires meek acceptance by everyone. I don't expect everyone to meekly accept Obama's tyrannical designs.
IMO, the most likely scenario is a taxpayer's strike. Quarterly filers will be making their last 2012 installment in mid-January. W-2 employees who want a piece of the action can poke holes in their timesheets with leave without pay. The best case outcome is that the federal government as we know it collapses when our debt becomes worthless, and the individual states will become the largest organized political units that mean jack shit.
It sucks, but we've long been one sudden mass realization away from dollar and federal government collapse.

Either live or co-tape.
A good suggestion I read (probably in the comments here) after the infamous Palin interview was that in future she should wear a digital time piece on her lapel so viewers could see how badly butchered the editing had been; when questions had later answers edited in; how much time was missing between different questions etc.

I would suspect that the Gingrich exchange put them on alert. In the
past they have been able to selectively edit interviews so that stuff
like that never saw the light of day. Live interviews keep that from
happening. Either live or co-tape.
Posted by: Vic at March 03, 2012 07:34 AM (YdQQY)
===========
A request for co-tape is a billboard that screams "you can't be trusted." Anyone who takes that step may as well say it right out loud.
Frankly, I don't have a problem with that. I think saying everything right out loud is the best tactic we can use. I think of it like the family with an alcoholic parent. Much of the worst of the long term damage is related to the lies about the situation. Saying "Yeah, my Mom's a drunk and she's fucking up my whole family" turns out to be a helpful thing to do. We can say "The corporate media is here to help a powerful elite own certain politicians." Why should we continue to allow them to pretend otherwise?
In fact, I don't see the value in accepting any of their stupid narratives. It has probably been more than 20 years since Brian Williams had a tax year in which he failed to take in more money than the average American makes in an entire lifetime. Great. More power to him. I don't begrudge him the money, and I am not jealous. But, I see no reason why anyone should continue to go along with the stupid idea that after all those GE paychecks he is really 'anti-corporate' and 'for the little guy.' At a minimum we should all call bullshit on that stuff.

If that is actually the truth, then the only hope is for people like you and I to adopt some 'Art of War' tactics and set out to bring the corporate media down. If our representatives can't do it, you are only left with two choices -- accept it, or join the fight.
This is my point.
No matter how much the people in the hipster bubble think that the Fluke story helps the left, it hurts the left with the people who count.
Without the notoriety stoked by Rush's remarks, Fluke's story would not have made the papers.
This was Art of War shit.

And my point is I have watched my side get to this point a few thousand times. Every time I can remember they have no next step in mind and they do not follow thru.
The press is about to make up a bunch of stupid stories and try to change the subject in a manner that keeps the politicians they own in charge of tax collection from us. For example - "perjury by the nation's #1 law enforcement officer is not the issue, blowjobs are the issue." We all should know and expect their next move, cuz they are nothing if not predictable.
'Art of War' includes having a realistic approach, and a game plan about what to do next that will actually be successful.

---------------
That co-tape thing came from an episode from 60 Minutes on construction at a Nuclear Power plant. The plant management agreed to do the interviews as long as they could co-tape along side them.
I watched the side by side comparisons and it wold make you want to puke. It was obvious that the 60 min piece was a lying hit job from the start.
However, when the utility tried to get local PBS stations to play it CBS threatened lawsuit to PBS, who of course folded.

There is no next step. If the left wants to adopt a self-proclaimed dirty slut as their contraception mandate mascot, then let them run with it. This is going to kill them with the people who count.
And yes, I went us/them over shit like this years ago.

I don't expect this to go as well as you do. My suspicion is that "those Republican meanies" will be the only story two weeks from now. We will all get a chance to see if the people you are counting on will remember the genesis of the whole thing down the road.
In some ways, I think the credibility of the corporate media is ready to topple. They are stupid, complacent, arrogant, and wildly overextended. Their lies are no longer well polished and their bias is amazingly brazen. The law of probabilities guarantees that can't work forever. But, it has lasted past when I thought everyone would see right thru it. So, I am the wrong person to predict how much longer it can go on. Maybe you actually can pull some people's legs forever without them ever catching on.

Let them run with it.
Tolerance runs against our instincts. It has to be taught. Tolerance is a good thing to a point, but the left has pushed it way past the point of its being good to undermine the foundations of our civilization.
The further they stretch it with PC, the more people wake up to the fact that it's a house of cards.
Somebody loudmouthed about being a dirty slut is "the other." Whether the details are true or not, Fluke staked that turf for herself.
