    I am caving in today, and finding a man to jerk me around. I like that at times. It makes me feel good.

    These terrorists are sick, sick, sick:

    Jihadis bent on concocting a “new kind of terrorism” are brainstorming how to surgically implant explosives to make undetectable Frankenbombers.

    “I am waiting for the interaction of the experienced brothers to connect the two sciences together and produce a new kind of terrorism, Allah willing,” he wrote, according to a translation by terror experts at the SITE Intelligence Group.
    /snip
    Stitching a bomb into the abdominal cavity made of plastic or liquid explosives – such as semtex or PETN – was judged the best method.

    “It must be planted near the surface of the body, because the human body absorbs shocks,” advised one terrorist.

    Profiling looks better and better all the time.

    Yesterday I mentioned the coworker that is offended by anything and everything. So I get to work this morning and have a string of emails where his boss, knowing how easily offended this guy is starts an email off with “Now don’t take this personally…” The Chucklehead’s response was:

    I find the suggestion that I took your complaint personally personally offensive.

    Recursive offending??? Some days I hate my job.

    The last hope of Great Britain seems to be dropping by the wayside.

    “A man’s a man,” said William Oscar Fleming, 39, a District resident who works for a local nonprofit. “A Highlander doesn’t need underwear.”
    .
    He reached for his silver flask and took a stiff shot of single-malt whiskey.
    .
    “If we did wear underwear, it would be made of, like, twigs,” he said.

    I have an ice cold long neck that says Willie walks.

    Mickey Raphael, Nelson’s longtime harmonica player, told Rolling Stone on Saturday that the singer, who was released after posting a $2,500 bond, was doing fine after the bust: “He said he feels great — he lost six ounces.”

    I figure they were acting within the bounds of their overly broad authoritah, but it seems to me that the tax dollars we spend on the Border Patrol would be better used finding illegal aliens than harassing harmless 70+ year old hippies.

    Texas attorney Dick DeGuerin, a criminal defense lawyer who recently represented Tom Delay and country singer Billy Joe Shaver, questioned the lawfulness of the search, which as he pointed out, occurred 100 miles from the Mexican border. “It’s supposed to be a checkpoint only for aliens, and [agents] overstep their authority all the time,” he told Rolling Stone. “I’ve had several cases from that checkpoint and they just use the opportunity to check out anybody they want to. If you have long hair, if you’re driving a van or it looks like you’re from California or you look like a hippie, they do profiling.”

    Any vehicle going through a check point gets a once over from Rin-Tin-Tin. If the dog goes positive, you will be searched. That always made me a bit nervous when going through in a company vehicle I did not usually drive. They are looking for drugs. Usually by the truck load. If they can smell weed without the dog’s help, guess what.
    These are permanent installations and have been in place for years, hardly a surprise to someone who travels Texas as much as Willie.

    gto42, despite numerous documented occasions where deputy dawg causes a citizen’s 4th amendment rights to be thrown under the bus (so to speak) and they find nothing, multiple FOIA requests for official statistics on their accuracy are universally denied. Is this freaking Russia, or a free country?

    In this case, the people employed to catch illegal aliens did smell the evil weed in Willie’s bus, and as I mentioned above, probably had the authoritah to search it. But then, Willie’s bus probably smells like an Amsterdam coffee house even when nobody has smoked in it for months.

    Which is more harmful, illegal aliens or a 77 year old stoner? How much of our money did the government spend getting a few ounces of a plant off that bus?

    I have another long neck that says the alleged border patrol agents get “brownie” points for trivial pot busts.

    They search for drugs and illegal agricultural products as well. That is part of their job. If you buy a sea turtle shell clock in Matamoros, I would suggest not driving though with that either. I’m not defending the practice, this is what it is. Anybody who drives through these knows it.

    Just got in from having my spinal column re-aligned. They’ve got a massage therapist who worked on my neck first. I know it was necessary, but DANG it hurt! I told her she should be wearing leather, and she cracked up laughing and said she needed to bring her whip.

    Bonecrusher, I mentioned your name and my chiropractor remembered you. “He’s a deep tissue, guy, isn’t he?” he asked. “Yep, and he deep tissued me right in the middle of Bear Creek Park!” He thought that was amusing.

    They got 80% of the kinks worked out. Now I need some ice and some aspirin and some rest. Well, 2 out of 3 aint’ bad.

    OBAMA RACES TO CUT TAXES BEFORE REPUBLICANS: White House proposes temporary payroll tax reduction. The 6.2% Social Security tax would drop to 4.2% for workers for one year…

    So rather than talk about spending cuts, he’s going to reduce the revenue flowing to one of the biggest causes of our debt problem. This just gets more absurd by the day.

    Hmm, I notice Bob has gone back to his “Father Knows Best” gravatar. (Guess he wasn’t getting any traction with BOB THE MAN THE LEGEND etc.) How’s the repair job coming along, Bob? The Rhodes, I mean.

    Let’s see here…….

    I think, after FIVE YEARS, we’re still paying the freight on all the Katrina refugees. Apparently it’s morphing into a permanent entitlement.

    Now, we’re extending unemployment benefits from 99 weeks to INFINITY AND BEYOND.

    WTF is wrong with these people? I don’t think any of those idiots in Washington have come to terms with the concept of BROKE. We are not going to shop our way out of this. Even liberal economists are acknowledging extending unemployment benefits encourages UNEMPLOYMENT.

    I think we’re beyond the point of no return.

    #55 mharper42. I’m still here and reading. It was 34 this morning at 6 and light frost since it was so dry. I’m cheating on what I’m doing with the recovering arm. The new wrap had my hand turned just about palm up, and I’m nudging it more toard palm sorta facing sideways with a hint of facing downward. Can mostly mamage the mouse if I stick my elbow straight out sideways like a wing ’cause the wrap is still constricting things.

    Spouse has unwound the outer wrap and rewound it twice to relieve the too tight feel, so I’m getting more range of motion. Now this might be cheating, but gee whiz I do have things to get done around the house. Have been putting out Christmas decorations mostly left handed with some assist from the encumbered right. Can tell when I’ve stretched too far by that pulling taffy slightly painful feeling. Still can’t write unless I lean over sideways a bit, and that is not a position I can hold for very long to get my hand in the right orientation. I see the doc on the 15th. 🙁

    Just in case anyone is wondering if the Galeria is still intact, here is an update.

    I have just returned from my yearly trek to the Mecca of Houston malls. Traffic still sucks, parking still sucks, walking around three expanded levels of the mall still sucks, listening to my daughter complain that she can’t find the perfect widget for Christmas in the Mecca of Houston malls still sucks, spending quality time with my family……… priceless.

    /Please note that no cats were harmed during this adventure.

    Watch Sarah Palin bag a caribou.

    Then watch “Uncle Ted’s” video response: “Davy Crocket, Daniel Boone and Sarah Palin, baby. The trifecta of hands-on conservation, baby.” LOL!

    As far as I know American Woman is well and has been active on her facebook account for quite some time, doing the same high-quality research she did for her LST comments. I miss her, too. I don’t do facebook.

    How’s the repair job coming along, Bob? The Rhodes, I mean.

    Slow but steady. I’ve performed the torch tuning technique on three notes so far. There’s three mechanical adjustments that interact with each other, and must be made after the tine/tone bar assembly is removed. Once I’m confident that I’m doing them right I’ll tackle the other 5 “wild tine” notes that are messing with the intonation.

    I’m thinking I’ll have it concert ready by Christmas.

    The key is to immediately block all those silly applications so you never see ’em. As soon as someone’s farm/pet/pizza whatever pops up I go to the application page and block it.

    #65 mharper42, Nope you haven’t caused me to overdo on the keyboard. It just takes a lot longer in my somewhat confined state. Looks like the swelling in my fingers is going down, likely owing to the workout they got today. Can be confident I have 1.5 hands working now.
