Monday Open Comments

Here’s another one:

Lakeland, Florida —  Ellenbeth Wachs has been no stranger to controversy in recent months.
As legal advisor to the Atheist of Florida, she has placed herself in the headlines by installing billboards across the area, fighting the Lakeland City Council and Polk County School Board over prayer before meetings and even Sheriff Grady Judd for donating jail basketball hoops to churches.
But now, she’s fighting her own legal battle… again.
On Monday, she was arrested on a charge of Simulation of a Sexual Act in the Presence of a Child.
According to an arrest affidavit, Wachs’ neighbor is accusing her of being “too loud” in her own bedroom.

    About today’s topic, someone has way too much time on their hands, also who’s paying for the billboard? Last time I checked they were at least $1000 a month depending on the traffic load. As a side bar the most expensive billboard on the planet is on US 59 south @ the 610 loop.

    Good morning Hamsters. Well, after last evening’s huge disappointment with barely a sprinkle, we look forward to another chance for something more substantial this afternoon. Hope springs eternal. Humid and 70 at 6, 83 already with high clouds filtering sunlight at 8:45 that promise nothing.

    The breeze is quietly awake early this morning, gently ruffling the flag on the front porch. It is displayed in remembrance of D-Day and will likely be one of the few on homes in the area.
    We who were alive on that day, though as small children, will not forget the sacrifice, honor, and bravery on the beaches of Normandy. We overheard adults speak of it in quiet voices; we overheard mothers whose husbands were there or elsewhere in Europe and the Pacific exchange quiet support or sympathy. These Moms told us children to be especially nice to kids whose “Daddy is not coming home.” That counsel I will never forget.

    They should try the first apartment Mrs. Darren and I lived in. Through the wall we’d hear, “Oh Lord Jesus, save me!” and it wasn’t from having a church service. 😯

    First it’s the thought police, then the speech police. Meanwhile, the thugs run loose in the streets (and in the White House), shooting, mugging, looting the treasury, the retirement accounts, peoples’ homes, their jobs, their assets…..Where will it end? I’ve got an idea, but it’s just to scary to present right now.

    Just last week, Hubby said he didn’t want to talk to a customer because he talked too much and wasted his time.

    I just got off the phone with Hubby. He talked for over half a wissin’ hour, repeating crap and telling me things I didn’t ask for. What could have been a five minute conversation just turned out to be a major time waster for me.

    Lamaze breathing. Not just for childbirth anymore.

    For the record, I am not a vegetarian. “Nature red in tooth and claw.”
    My main issue about animals, ugly or cute, is cruelty. Raising animals as food is not cruel, and I think most farmers and ranchers do not mistreat their livestock and slaughter them humanely. (Unlike that ghastly scene someone posted here a while back, showing bearded grinning moooooslims cutting sheep throats in a public square in the USA.)

    #12 Darren,

    That gets filed today under my WTF tab! These people are so clueless it is not even funny. They cite the example of searching for a movie, but they fail to mention that before the web, we would sometimes DRIVE to the theater to check out the schedule. If nothing looked appealing or you could not fit it into your required time slot, then I guess you just wasted several kilos of carbon!

    I am glad the green IT folks mention they can not keep up with demand. In the mean time I will settle for good ol’ fashion coal and other fossil fuels.

    Here’s another one:

    And another one.

    Members of Orlando Food Not Bombs were arrested Wednesday when police said they violated a city ordinance by feeding the homeless in Lake Eola Park.

    Jessica Cross, 24, Benjamin Markeson, 49, and Jonathan “Keith” McHenry, 54, were arrested at 6:10 p.m. on a charge of violating the ordinance restricting group feedings in public parks. McHenry is a co-founder of the international Food Not Bombs movement, which began in the early 1980s.

    OK, so they’re a bunch of granola munching, sandal wearing, hemp poncho clad, hacky sack playing Floridians, but they ought to be allowed to feed homeless people, doncha think?

    Ironic that these are the same types that tell us big gummint can cure all social problems.

    The Muslims slitting the throat of the sheep is a religious observance of Eid-ul-Adha. It commemorates Abraham’s sacrifice. Luckily for me I chose to take the family to Belgium during that particular festival. Some expats that hung around told me it looked like a scene out of a horror movie as the entire city was transformed into a slaughter house. Blood in the streets, blood on clothing, blood on people… pretty much blood everywhere.

    Weiner makes another boner. Dems should get a grip on this story before it swells beyond control. Perhaps they should make Weiner pull out of Congress. Somebody’s getting the shaft here, thats for sure.

    Another woman has come forward to RadarOnline.com and Star magazine and provided a sexting exchange with embattled New York Representative Anthony Weiner.

    The woman says she has 200 sexually explicit messages from Weiner from a Facebook account the Democratic politician no longer uses.

    RadarOnline.com and Star magazine verified that the account where the messages originated does belong to Weiner (see below).

    Two things.

    It is standard practice for Muslims and Jews to slit the throats of animals to ensure that the meat is free of blood (as much as possible) when being butchered. (hint: Google halal or kosher)

    Obviously you have never worked or strolled thru a slaughterhouse! I will spare the gentile readers the recollections of my observations, but all in all, animals are dispatched in methods that are just as violent. I suspect that most of the animals I observed being dispatched would have rather been in Philadelphia.

    Need to make a correction to the above. It seems that Peter Pecker was being considered, but the Democrats realized that folks might be able to make the same kinds of double entendres with his name that they did with Weiner, so Peter Pecker is out. They are now running a guy who will taken seriously, a man descended from French Canadians named Reservoir Tippe.

    My favorite WC Fields story is one that occured as he lay on his deathbed. A frind came in and found him paging through a Bible. He asked him if he was finally turning to God after having led such a profane and sinful life. “Just looking for loopholes.” Feilds replied. “Just looking for loopholes.”

    Butchering animals for food is not a clean business. There’s no way to make it completely “humane” because they’re not human and we (generally) don’t eat humans. In my opinion, if you’re going to eat meat (and I’m a hard core carnivore) you don’t have to be willing to participate in the process but you should at least be willing to acknowledge the fact that there’s no way to pretty up the process. Every perfectly-pattied hamburger you eat began as a live cow that had a steel rod fired into his brain. Every piece of KFC Original Recipe you shove in your pie hole started out as a fluffy little birdie before he was hung upside down and had his head sawed off on the processing line. We always slit the throat of the pig or cow immediately after the .22 magnum between the eyes but that was just because it was easier. The animals have to be bled.

    Oh, and throwing a developing egg into boiling water is no different than throwing live crabs or lobsters into boiling water.

    Unexpectedly; On College Campuses, Obama’s Not Cool Anymore.

    President Obama poll numbers are nearing the levels he enjoyed in 2008, with one glaring exception: young people. Especially young white people. His approval rating is at 56 percent approval rating among people ages 18 to 29. That’s higher than the 51 percent national average, but that’s a decline of 10 points compared to the 2008 exit polls,

His approval rating is at 56 percent approval rating among people ages 18 to 29. That’s higher than the 51 percent national average, but that’s a decline of 10 points compared to the 2008 exit polls,

    Anthoney Weiner is on the air at a press conference, admitting he done wrong but is not going to resign and is not admitting what he actually did. It was a mistake and destructive…! Chutzpah cubed. He loves his wife very much and they are not splitting on account of this.

    The hysterical coincidence is that Andrew Breitbart just happened to be in the same hotel and had sort of a news conference while the press was waiting for Anthony. And of course they were attacking Andrew for publishing what he dug up, not blaming Anthony for what he did or for stonewalling. Typical hyena media. Hannity’s program is carrying this zoo live. 😉

    Every perfectly-pattied hamburger you eat began as a live cow that had a steel rod fired into his brain.

    Again, I’d like to remind people that Mrs. Darren and I recently watched Temple Granden. She’s an autistic lady who relied upon her unique view of the world to revolutionize the beef industry. She made it more “humane” in getting the cattle to the point where the steel bolt will be fired into their heads.

    I’m off to McDonalds and will now probably get a burger instead of nuggets. It’s a date I promised with Youngest Son because he was upset after church yesterday that he couldn’t sit in the middle seats of the van. Such trauma I tell you.

    Breitbart is still in the news conference room, and Weiner eventually got around to apologizing to him for maintaining that Breitbart made it all up. Now Weiner is rambling all over the place and making a total fool of himself. His handlers should get the hook and get him out of there, he’s babbling. He’s let slip some details earlier not mentioned, like six women were involved over the years, though never face to face. And the picture was him. What a maroon. But he’s not resigning. Good grief. Will be fascinating to see how the Dems try to manage that. Can this debacle get any worse?

    Boy this just gets better and better. Weiner was married last year. If you wanted to for-richer-for-poorer, sickness-and-in-health, forsaking-all-others sanctify your marriage just who would you get to perform the ceremony?

    They were married last year by former President Bill Clinton.

    Jonah Goldberg already has a good commentary:

    It was also good for him to apologize to Andrew Breitbart and “anyone else he misled.”

    But that’s not what he did wrong to Andrew Breitbart and others. He encouraged people to make Breitbart et al into the villains in this story. The sin there is not misleading but a kind of bearing false witness, a variant of slander.

    The tide turned against him when he was asked whether he knew if all the recipients of his communications were of legal age. I suspect that tide will not recede imminently.

    I saw that holier-than-thou, sanctimonius gas bag Weiner on TV some time ago going after Beck and Gold Line. He reminded me of one of those yap dog chihuahuas that just won’t let up trying to overcome their canine inferiority complex.

    What gives Bill Clinton the legal authority to marry anyone? Did he become captain of the S.S. Minnow after leaving office? The man lost his law license in disgrace.

    Well, nothing like being hit in the face with reality, I left work on May 28 knowing that we were behind schedule because we’re trying to run 2 labs @ the same time and just don’t have the manpower, then I get back today and find out that on Friday one of our large shakers blew up, (operator error?)….anyway now it’s mostly like that 3 legged cat trying to bury his buisness on a frozen pond. That said, we’ve have a young guy on loan from another building helping us out off and on for the last 6 months and now he’s on our payroll full time. Dayaam glad to have him. 😀

    Yea–we got some rain and are still getting some light sprinkles. Don’t know how much exactly because the digital gauge runs on a 24 hour cycle and hasn’t flipped over from yesterday yet (when we got drops we could count as they fell), and the plastic one on the fence rail had 1″ in it from the watering we did in the paddock over the last two days (dumped that). But it was rain, glorious rain, so we hope for more tomorrow.

    Hamous 52 and 54. Yep, the debacle will get worse with that info. Wow, you really can’t make this stuff up. And Slick Willie “officiated” at Anthony’s recent wedding to Hillary’s aide?
    Fascinating, to quote Mr. Spock. In reality, the bride and groom marry each other, and the clergy person or judge is merely the official witness. Wedding guests are likewise witnesses. Marriage is a contract between husband and wife, and the parties thereto accept it by affirmation of their pledges in the vows.

    The concept of common-law marriage is based upon this contractual agreement. Couples could probably repeat their vows in front of the family dog or cat and be legally married if they hold themselves out to be married. Not, of course, that the pets need to affirm they have witnessed same by placing a pawprint on a document. So Slick Willie (with all his baggage) was merely the prime witness to the Weiner nuptials. Now that is a tangential path not to be taken.

    you should at least be willing to acknowledge the fact that there’s no way to pretty up the process.

    I don’t think I have any illusions about the fact that animals die in order for me to eat meat. I am keenly aware, and I mean while I am eating it, that my tasty burger was recently part of a living cow, and the tender chicken breast was cut from a butchered bird. I don’t agonize over it, but I am aware.

    as far as butchering animals goes, I think the best way to harvest domestically raised animals is the guillotine. In one swift instant, less than 1/4 second, the head is removed from the body; by the time that the pain signal could reach the brain, there is a loss of consciousness (no pain) and therefore no pain hormones are triggered to flow in the bloodstream (which can taint the flavor of the meat). Slitting the throat, when done properly, causes very little pain to the animal as well. Brother Judah, in the oral tradition, frowns on the guillotine (or chopping off of the head) because the thought is that there is pressure and therefore feeling/fear. My understanding is that this ruling came out before Mr. Guillotine invented his process. The previous applies to the 4 hooved variety, as far as the birds go, just lop their heads off with a REAL SHARP KNIFE WITH ONE SWIFT MOTION.

    Further to my #64 above, I had a client years ago who was a ships captain and sailed all over the world. He mentioned that the beef in Nigeria and other West African Nations had a distinct strong flavor, much stronger than that which was found in the meat from bull fight animals. He finally found out the explanation, the Africans were skinning the animals alive to inflict the maximum amount of pain possible and dump the max pain chemical/hormone into the meat. After learning this, I stopped wondering why the continent stayed mired in squalor, and tolerated the abuse of people like Robert Mugabe.

    #62 mharper42. I have no clue by what authority Clinton or any current of former President would be considered appropriate to officiate at a wedding. For that matter how approved official witness categories are fixed and thus entitled to sign marriage certificates–suspect it is up to the Legislatures of each state to determine that. You can bet that who can be/is considered clergy is a very elastic term in some quarters. But that doesn’t alter marriage being a contract between husband and wife, common law or otherwise.
