Hambone v3.0

Friday Open Comments

Once again, Krugman the human slug is lecturing the “violent right” on morality:

That’s what lies behind the modern right’s fondness for violent rhetoric: many activists on the right really do see taxes and regulation as tyrannical impositions on their liberty.
…
Right now, each side in that debate passionately believes that the other side is wrong. And it’s all right for them to say that. What’s not acceptable is the kind of violence and eliminationist rhetoric encouraging violence that has become all too common these past two years.
…
It’s not enough to appeal to the better angels of our nature. We need to have leaders of both parties — or Mr. Obama alone if necessary — declare that both violence and any language hinting at the acceptability of violence are out of bounds.

What a sad, sad little man. To get the rest of the story read this.

    Looking for a catchy or ironic story that doesn’t involve anyone from Florida.

    Even you have to admit that Florida is a hotbed of nutiness.

    It’s because of so many non-Floridians moving there. Their Yankee brains aren’t used to 95° and 99% humidity, roaches the size of Tonka trucks, and giant lizards that eat you. It’s just too much for them and they go insane.

    More spanking of Kruggy:

    Mr. Krugman has been a columnist for the Times for a long enough time, covering a sufficient variety of political events, for us to deduce that he is a political nitwit. Other Nobel laureates have been nitwits – Betrand Russell, for instance. There are a lot of political nitwits in this world. Perhaps the Times could give Mr. Krugman a cooking column. He would be their Nobel Prize-winning cooking columnist.

    Meanwhile, while all this grieving and political posturing is going on, EPA is continuing to run amok and doing whatever it takes to continue to cut off domestic energy supplies. Texas refineries won’t be far behind now that they have taken over air quality regulation from the state.

    From the linked article:

    Are there no violent protestors outside the RNC Conventions or at the G-20 Summit? Or hate or bigoted speech against conservatives and Fox from the likes of Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, or legislators like U.S. Senator Dick Durbin who calls tea party supporters extremists and who, this week, linked Sarah Palin to the massacre? Have there been no dead fish sent in the mail or casual threats made against political enemies by Rahm Emanuel? Or Black Panthers holding clubs outside polling booths to threaten people attempting to vote? Is this all not hate-speech? Or actual hate in action?

    I’m glad some folks with a bigger soap box than mine are finally saying what I’ve been saying for the past six years or so. From saying that Geroge Bush hates black people, to labelling all Republicans as child molesters after the Mark Foley incident, through the labelling of Tea Partiers as racists, to smearing Joe Straus opponents as Anti-Semites becuase of one e-mail, and now to accusing Sara Palin of accessory to murder, its all hate speech—-speech designed to get people to hate Conservatives.

    And the best way to combat it is not to curl up into a fetal ball, or to retreat into silence when people say that you are being uncivil for calling them out on it—no matter who they are. The only way to stop it is to make it a bigger liability to do it than it is an advantage.

    Speak the frik up when this happens. Fight the frik back.

    I’ll never let up on this, and am heartened that we’re finally seeing more people fighting back on this crap.

    Well you did have a non-Floridian gubner. But did he really go insane or was he insane before he arrived?

    Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has a new title: Republican ambassador to Latino voters.

    and listening to some other Republicans the last day or so let me be the first to say congratulations to 2nd term President Obama.

    Ah, off and running. Finally got to the computer and I see that the gang is in full swing. I’m late getting up because, in my efforts to pinch pennies, I am embarking upon bread-making. Making bread is only cheaper than buying bread if the end result of the efforts are actually bread. First, I misread the recipe and ended up (kinda) tripling an ingredient, which meant that instead of one batch I had to make three batches, or six loaves. This is while I’m trying to get dinner prepared, so the kitchen was chaos. Just imagine the chicken in a pan on the stove, sweet taters warming in the oven, another veggie in another pot, and right next to the cooktop is bowls with yeast, flour, sugar, shortening, et al, in various stages of combination. As one is being mixed in my stand mixer, I am trying to get the other two batches ready to go in. Stopping to get hubby eating. Back to my activity – oh crap! – did I put in one or three tablespoons?

    When all was said and done, I had my three bowls of dough rising. I ate dinner and washed some dishes. I pulled out the dough, which looked great, reasonable, and eh? I made my loaves and put them aside while I washed dishes. I heated up the oven and put them in – 2 looked great, 2 were “maybes”, and 2 were just pitiful looking.

    When I finished cooking them, I noticed that my great looking batches had fallen. They were now “passable” as bread, and the other four loaves will probably end their short careers as bread crumbs. I actually labeled one loaf as “kinda bread”.

    For this, I was up until after midnight. I hope that I get better with practice.

    From your link:

    King noted that in the U.S., it is illegal to bring a gun within 1,000 feet of a school.

    “Passing a similar law for government officials would give federal, state, and local law enforcement a better chance to intercept would-be shooters before they pull the trigger,” King said.

    And just how do we recognize these people? Will they be required to carry a sign that’s readable from 1000 feet stating that they are a government official? Seems like that they would have to tow a billboard behind a tractor at all times to make that enforceable.

    I hope that I get better with practice.

    You will, you’ll get to where you can do it in your sleep. Your arms must be tired if you were kneading 6 loaves of bread last night.

    You might consider a bread making appliance. I haven’t used mine in a good long while because I’d have to be in the vicinity (within earshot) for about 4 hours total to be sure it was cycling properly. But a bread maker does cut out most of the actual labor.

    I have a Kitchen Aid stand mixer that I bought almost brand new from a thrift shop for $60 (normally sell for $200-$300). It turns out that the factory worker, probably union, included the paddle and dough hook for the next larger size bowl, and it would not function properly. I bought the appropriate sized units for $15 each, so I now have a very nice appliance to take care of the hard labor of kneading dough.

    I think I messed up the recipe last night because I was doing three things at one time. It will take some practice to see what the dough should look like as its kneaded. I think one batch was too dry and one was slightly too wet.

    I used to have a bread maker, but I sold it. The bread slices were funky-sized, larger than normal, and I didn’t like having to dig out the paddle stuck in the end of the loaf.

    I’ll get there.

    Our fearless Federal Bureau of Investigation has sent 200 agents to Tuscon to investigate a murder and attempted murder that everyone knows who committed it.

    That’s right–we need to tie down “hundreds of FBI agents” in an investigation where the bad guy is already caught, he almost certainly worked alone, was part of no network or larger conspiracy, and is, if not legally guilty, then certainly responsible for having committed the crimes.

    For a little perspective, the FBI–which is charged with being America’s main counter-terrorism force–has just 13,000 agents. So if only 200 agents are fanned out across Arizona trying to figure out what in the world happened, then 1.5 percent of our counter-terrorism capability is being tied down by a single spree crime.

    Not only that, but a single guy whose location is well-known, easy to access, and vanishingly unlikely to change anytime soon.

    I agree. Most of these words would be wonderful to use. I especially like:

    1. Jargogle Verb trans. – “To confuse, jumble” – First of all this word is just fun to say in its various forms. John Locke used the word in a 1692 publication, writing “I fear, that the jumbling of those good and plausible Words in your Head..might a little jargogle your Thoughts…” I’m planning to use it next time my husband attempts to explain complicated Physics concepts to me for fun: “Seriously, I don’t need you to further jargogle my brain.”
    2. Deliciate Verb intr. – “To take one’s pleasure, enjoy oneself, revel, luxuriate” – Often I feel the word “enjoy” just isn’t enough to describe an experience, and “revel” tends to conjure up images of people dancing and spinning around in circles – at least in my head. “Deliciate” would be a welcome addition to the modern English vocabulary, as in “After dinner, we deliciated in chocolate cream pie.”
    4. Kench Verb intr. – “To laugh loudly” – This Middle English word sounds like it would do well in describing one of those times when you inadvertently laugh out loud while reading a text message in class and manage to thoroughly embarrass yourself.
    7. Jollux Noun – Slang phrase used in the late 18th century to describe a “fat person” – Although I’m not sure whether this word was used crudely or in more of a lighthearted manner, to me it sounds like a nicer way to refer to someone who is overweight. “Fat” has such a negative connotation in English, but if you say “He’s a bit of a jollux” it doesn’t sound so bad!
    9. Brabble Verb – “To quarrel about trifles; esp. to quarrel noisily, brawl, squabble” – Brabble basically means to argue loudly about something that doesn’t really matter, as in “Why are we still brabbling about who left the dirty spoon on the kitchen table?” You can also use it as a noun: “Stop that ridiculous brabble and do something useful!”
    10. Freck Verb intr. – “To move swiftly or nimbly” – I can think of a lot of ways to use this one, like “I hate it when I’m frecking through the airport and other people are going so slow.”
    13. Quagswagging Noun – “The action of shaking to and fro” – This can also be used in verb form, to quagswag, and is pronounced like “kwag swag.” It could definitely work as the name for a new type of dance, or possibly serve as an alternate way to describe a seizure.
    14. Hoddypeak Noun – “A fool, simpleton, noodle, blockhead” – This one doesn’t need any explanation as to how you could use it; you may already have someone in mind who fits the description.
    17. Widdendream Noun – “A state of mental disturbance or confusion” – I can start using this obsolete Scottish word right away: “While working on writing my thesis, I find I am constantly in widdendream.”

    I agree. Most of these words would be wonderful to use. I especially like:
    1. Jargogle Verb trans. – “To confuse, jumble” – First of all this word is just fun to say in its various forms. John Locke used the word in a 1692 publication, writing “I fear, that the jumbling of those good and plausible Words in your Head..might a little jargogle your Thoughts…” I’m planning to use it next time my husband attempts to explain complicated Physics concepts to me for fun: “Seriously, I don’t need you to further jargogle my brain.”
    2. Deliciate Verb intr. – “To take one’s pleasure, enjoy oneself, revel, luxuriate” – Often I feel the word “enjoy” just isn’t enough to describe an experience, and “revel” tends to conjure up images of people dancing and spinning around in circles – at least in my head. “Deliciate” would be a welcome addition to the modern English vocabulary, as in “After dinner, we deliciated in chocolate cream pie.”
    4. Kench Verb intr. – “To laugh loudly” – This Middle English word sounds like it would do well in describing one of those times when you inadvertently laugh out loud while reading a text message in class and manage to thoroughly embarrass yourself.
    7.

    Medicine Man prayer:

    GONZALES: Oh, Creator, let us not forget our fellow creatures. Those that stand. Those that blow in the wind. Those that are tall and stately. Those that crawl on the earth. Those that slither on the earth. Those that live under the earth.

    Let us remember and bless the winged ones. Those that swim in the waters. The four legged. And also our brothers, the two leggeds that walk throughout this world. When we all come together at this time. And may the words people hear here sink in to their hearts so that they too can heal. So that they too can feel better.

    I join the good doctor in blessing the 2 legged, the filly variety anyway.
