Before you go and decide to have little Fluffy, Tiger, Spot, Fang, or whatever goofy name you’ve given your pet stuffed so you can enjoy its companionship after its demise, after it shuffled off this mortal coil, assumed room temperature, became an ex-parrot, etc., please take care to choose a good taxidermist. I doubt you’d want to keep old Rex around if a taxidermist made him look like one of these fine beasts:
Museum-grade taxidermy can likely get expensive, but if you’ve got a valuable hunting trophy, you probably don’t want him to wind up looking like he’s a aficionado of the holy herb.
Or like some kind of possessed death monkey.
One of Pumbaa’s relatives would likely be a little off-putting to any wimmins who might be visiting or inhabiting the general vicinity.
There is one specimen we can all agree is in great taste:
You can admire that one with warm feet, thanks to these slippers:
Holy moley!

The one on the top left with the blue flowery couch in the background looks a lot like my dog Sami, who is still alive thank you. If there was ever any chance that I was going to have her stuffed after her demise, it is now gone. Yech.

I’m speechless – well, maybe not completely. Our Dear Leader commands the congressional debt limit debaters to come back to him with a plan no later than xxxxx, certaily after he returns from a retreat at Camp David this weekend. That’s another clear demonstration of his leading from behind. If he has any idea whatsoever what he wants or what he is trying to do, how about his plan coming forward – is that too much to ask from the POTUS?
Congress should go on vacation along with him (but to separate venues) and advise him that they will await receipt of his plan, after which they will take a few days to discuss it among themselves and then get back to him. How about that idea?
Or, more importantly, they could just say up front “no mas.” The party’s over. The credit cards are maxed out. The people will send you their hard earned money up to a limit, and that’s all you have to work with. BTW, all that Social Security money you have stolen over the years has to be returned now. We’ll be back in session in February 2012 if you have any further questions. Have a nice day.

The taxidermy pics are great. Coincidentally, Ace has posted some of the same. The last one is especially good, and I thought you might want to add it to the ones above.

The M240 is an excellent machine gun, a vast improvement over the M60 of my military days. It is classed as a “medium Machine Gun” that fits between M240 that uses the same .223 rounds that our M4s and M16s use, and the Ma Duece .50 MG that was originally designed to take out light tanks and half tracks in the pre WW2 days.
The principal problem with the M240, and all 7.62 automatic fire weapons, is that the size of the rounds tends to limit carry capacity in any magazine that might be used. Currently, if an M240 is used in anything other than static defense mode, the the weapon is fed by a 100 round box magazine. The operator will carry a couple of them, and everybody else in the squad he’s with will carry at least one as well.
Now, that much 7.62 ammo can weigh a lot, so it might be impractical.
But then again, maybe not.

Just to add one more thing per the politics discussion yesterday.
We can’t make fun of the blacks for blindly voting 95% for the Democrats only to get taken for granted, if we do the same thing. Perhaps a facade of demanding principles are in order. Use those mouth breathing Tea Party’ers to your advantage instead of fighting them.
There’s always time to pull back, you can’t push if you pulled back from the start.

And that one was quite good. Good job, sir!

Nope, sorry Tim. No good deed goes unpunished. Your mission today – should you choose to accept it – is to submit your thoughts in writing to your friendly neighborhood Republican. This is what I sent to Ted Poe last night:
Bottom line here is that you must either tax more, spend less, or some combination of the two. If we don’t increase the debt ceiling, we can still pay interest on our debt (avoiding default), SS, Medicare / Medicaid, and pay active duty military. That means there will be some very tough choices to make with what is left. The choices will be tougher still if we do it without raising taxes. That is the reality that must be presented to the American people. Time to make tough choices. I think it would help the Republican party immensely in terms of credibility if they were to publicly acknowledge that they are complicit in this budgetary mess we’ve gotten ourselves into. Ultimately, the American people have demanded more and more government, and now act surprised when the tab is due. We’ve voted ourselves the government we thought would give us the most stuff for years and it’s time to pay the piper. We must all accept our respective responsibilities and find a way forward without resorting to incurring more debt. The clock is running out quickly.
To me, the crux of the problem is that there is a credibility gap. Tell them in no uncertain terms that we want that gap closed, while at the same time acknowledging the role we voters played in this fiasco. We want it all and we want someone else to pay for it. Time for everyone to take ownership stakes in the problem.

From Phil’s #101 yesterday linkie thingie:
In California, acceptance of people who engage in homosexual acts is becoming state-mandated glorification. While our debt spirals out of control, putrid lizards in government continue to play the games of fearmongering and class warfare; if the debt ceiling is not raised, Democrats say, the Earth may be flung from its axis and careen off into the Sun. At the very least, the poor will suffer when their entitlement checks don’t arrive.
They’re lies – but no one seems to care about being outed as a liar anymore.
. . . . . . .and therein lies a pointer to the heart of the problem: There is no absolute right and wrong anymore (in the liberal mindset) and so what ever the lib says or wants is great as long as it advances his cause. The multiculturalists will rant all day that there is no moral difference between cultures and that all are morally equal. On that same day they will assault those peacefully picketing in opposition to abortion, or will shout down/assault a conservative speaker at a campus meeting. They will say on the one hand that all cultures and beliefs are equal and then on the other hand that anyone who disagrees with them needs to be re-educated or silenced. The lefty’s are the most intolerant bunch on the planet!

#10 Sarge, the tube fed m240 is way cool. How much does 1 500-round magazine cartridge weigh? The linkie mentioned that the round it shoots is a 7.62; izzat the same as the .308 or is it the one used in the AK-47 as both are 7.62 caliber?

More from Phil’s linkie:
The Obama administration is essentially supplying weapons to Mexico’s Los Zetas, who terrorize our southern border, while in the midst of crafting new (and likely unconstitutional) “gun safety measures.” They put Border Patrol agents on trial for doing their jobs, in the interest of political correctness.
It’s treason – but who is going to prosecute the crime? Eric Holder?
I could, of course, go on and on.
Now the DOD is considering cyberspace a battlefield. This designation will, in their minds, give them the authority to regulate, censor, limit access and speech on the innenet for “national security reasons”. When they make this designation, the 1st amendment will have been officially shredded.

This stuff sounds a lot like walking into a car dealership, announcing to the sales person you fully intend to pay list, but you’re gonna pretend to scream a lot of demands first.
That analogy works if only one person is buying the car.
The analogy I would use would be that its more like having someone buy a fleet of cars for a business. All of the drivers get some input on what kind of car they want and what options to add but there are a lot of ambivalent drivers who don’t really care about the kind of car they get, and a lot that want to drive a car you’d rather not drive. All of the divisions in all of the states get some input. After all the input is tallied, the car that will satisfy the most drivers is the one that is chosen. After the company buys the car, the drivers can decide if they are going to drive that one, or use their own.
So the time to make your opinion known and to try and convince the ambivalent drivers is when the company solicits your opinion on the decision.

Yep. 7.62 is .308 NATO, same round as the M14.
I don’t have the zact figgers here at my finger tips, but a 20 round magazine for the M14 weighs in at about 1 1/2 lbs, so thumbnailing in weight of the mechanism, etc its somewher in the realm of 50-60 pounds. That’s no water, no rations, no other gear.

I never could figger out why the armed services never incorporated a specialized “hand truck” with wide, non pneumatic wheels and an ultra light titanium frame.; kind of like a golfers pull cart on steroids.

House Republican lawmakers are strategizing how to get a debt deal done in short order and avoid any potential loss in the U.S. credit rating, saying Friday they will vote on legislation next Wednesday to “cap, cut and balance” the budget.
The legislation — an extension of a pledge introduced by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and signed by dozens of GOP lawmakers this week — aims to reduce federal spending, impose spending caps over the next decade and require the eventual passage of a balanced-budget amendment to raise the debt ceiling.
I think Cantor just called Obama’s bluff. The House will pass it. Then its up to the Democrat-controlled Senate and our HNP. If they don’t, they are responsible for any negative outcome.

the average Republican voter – and really everyone else for that matter – underestimated the depth of the trouble with SS / Medicare / Medicaid

Granted, as did I, although not quite 25 years ago in my case (I’m a bit younger than you). In our case though, we’re far from average. I would venture to say that we’re what you might call “hyper-aware” of it.

I think he’s finally reached the “completely delusional” stage. If the Rep give an inch when they have him on the verge of a complete meltdown, then non of them should be returned to office. I still feel confident that they are going to give him a face saving out before it’s all said and done, while kicking the can down the road again. Can they really expect us to believe that anyone will honor any pledges to control future spending and eventually pass a balanced budget amendment? No. Do you job now or pack up and go home.

#36 – Somehow you seem to be falling for the old thesis that there is some way to segregate Medicare funds and SS funds. Any surpluses these schemes may have run have long been spent by our elected leaders and are not recoverable. The point is that we are broke, and no amount of printing new money or borrowing more money (although no one who is able is willing to lend to us anymore) will solve the problem. Our President has admitted that SS cannot pay its obligations due in 2 weeks without borrowing more money and that we cannot pay our other obligations without borrowing more money. How much more does it take to be in default of any loan agreement that I’ve ever seen.
The time to stop this madness is now. It’s bad enough as it is – how in the world is borrowing more money going to make it better?

Sorry, I don’t think of emprisoned criminals as “underserved and vulnerable Americans”. I think of them as dangerous societal parasites who have to be locked up to punish them and protect the rest of us.

Which is a }*|!|^~€\:/!! lie.

And he has to exchange them for our currency? 🙂 🙁 -

#36 – Somehow you seem to be falling for the old thesis that there is some way to segregate Medicare funds and SS funds. Any surpluses these schemes may have run have long been spent by our elected leaders and are not recoverable.
I think you misinterpreted what I wrote. My point was not that the two are segregated financially or ever were. My point was that, of the big three entitlements, SS is going to easiest to rescue by its nature in that there is one less variable involved than with Medicare / Medicaid.

There’s 200 billion coming in in August.
If he chooses to fund research on Rabbit Gas Effects on Global Warming instead
of cutting 50 billion in SS checks, hopefully the leadership and the candidates are ready to hang him with it. -

El Gordo,
Go back and read my comment from yesterday. Follow the link and click through the interactive tool for yourself. There is enough in revenue coming in for August to pay SS, Medicare, Medicaid, interest on the debt, and pay active duty military without defaulting. Now that does leave us with some very difficult choices about where else to cut. But saying it’s not possible is, as Shannon says, “a }*|!|^~€\:/!! lie”. Period. End of discussion.

I don’t have the links handy and I was a couple of minutes away from posting a comment about them in Calgary before my battery ran out, but read a couple of wsj online articles about Passion Fingers and his “leadership” on the budget talks.
One was from opinion journal and was the first segment. The other was by Karl Rove, so it was written from an obviously antagonistic perspective, but still rings very true.

I think I might need to buy a lottery ticket.
My flight from EdmOnton was late into Calgary last night so I missed my connection. Somehow, I got thru US Customs and Immigration despite my flight having left. I had re-checked my bag by this time.
Fast-forward about 30 min. I had been rebooked for this morning. Air Canada got me a hotel. I asked where my bag was and can I have it.
It was in a special impound area somewhere that only a special freight broker could access because it’s an international flight.
I just picked it up off the baggage carousel and the bottle of Scottish Highland mouthwash (the reason my bag was checked – stupid “security” rules) was not only still there, but intact.

#53 – I think we are in complete agreement on this. Our President seems to be utilizing the tired old Dem threat to cut social security if the Rep don’t go along with his wishes, which is a disgusting tactic. Now all along, the Dems claim that SS is sound and does not need any work, and then they claim that it’s not able to pay unless we can borrow money – so which is it, Dems.
I’m please with the way the Reps have stood up to the pressure so far, and hope that they can continue to fade the heat. Dear Leader has enough left over from the stimulus package to keep the country running for a couple of months, but he refuses to turn that back over to Treasury, preferring instead to dole it out to constituents come election time I’m sure.
Still, the fact is this – without some way to reign in this insane spending spree, we are doomed as a nation. No one in DC seems capable of doing so on their own volition, so it will apparently require an external event to cause it to happen – and that I do not want to go through. It must stop now.

We are in complete agreement. Now here’s the catch: if we can, by some divine miracle / intervention / quirk of fate, convince the govt. to spend less than what it brings in, there will necessarily be a contraction in the economy and it will happen quickly. It will be bad, but not as bad as it will be later if we continue on this path. If we continue it won’t be a contraction, it will be a full-on depression. The question is, do we have the nerve to endure this short-term contraction if we’re fortunate enough to get it?

SJLs constituents are contained in a heavily gerrymandered district that was designed to produce a black/Demoncrat (redundant) representative; the first rep there was Barbara Jordan, followed by Mickey Leland, then Craig Washington, and finally Queen Sheila. I would be very surprised to learn that more than 1 in 10 in her district pay into the Fed Govt more than the cash/benefits they take out.
Let’s try not to demonize the opposition any more than they already do to themselves.

Incredible. The White House cannot say whether a default on the national debt is worse than the president not getting his way on a preferred, arbitrary timetable — resulting a politically inconvenient vote during the home stretch of his re-election bed. Who’s playing politically-motivated, reckless games with the debt ceiling now? Again, I’ll leave you with this quote. From yesterday: “I’ve reached my limit. This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this,” said Mr. Obama.

27 Boney,
The Japanese did in the Phillipines and Singapore during the WW-II invasion and the NVA used a similar device during the entire war. It was called a bicycle.
As I understand it a couple of the European countries still have Infantry regiments that use bicycles.
I can well remember being a human mule for the machine gunners and mortar men. Most Marines sported a long dark bruise on their left outer thighs from where that stinking ammo can bounced against the leg as you route stepped from one lovely tropical resort to another.
The great battle cry was Truck It or “F” It. (my apologies granny hamous.) I really hated being a human mule.

66 Boney,
The district was gerrymandered, but Barbara Jordan was one of the most decent and honorable folks to serve in the Congress. She stood up for Governor Connelly when he was railroaded; long after John Connelly has jumped from the Democratic Party to the Republican.
Mickey Leland was pretty close to being a Socialist, but he was heavily backed by the oil companies. Congressman Leland was a quiet but strong supporter of pro-oil legislation.
It has been downhill afterwards though.

Bones,
I assume you are up on your history and know that Texas Congressional districting (and all voting districts) remain after lo these many years under federal court control following the 1965 Voting Rights Act.“‘For states covered by Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, including Texas, a change in law affecting elections must be evaluated to determine that it neither has the purpose nor will have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on the basis of race, color, or language group. Because of this requirement, redistricting plans passed by the Texas Legislature, the Legislative Redistricting Board (LRB), or a state district court must be submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice or the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for preclearance. The state may not implement a new redistricting plan until the plan has been precleared under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.” – Texas Secretary of State website
What this has come to mean over the last 47 years is that you damn well better consider race in creating voting district lines. And in fact, incumbents on both sides have come to enjoy the beneficial effects of crowding liberal minorities into secure districts.
-
In spite of Texas taking it in the shorts from William Wayne Justice on the prison system and the artificial cloud over redistricting, we still produce as much as the rest of the country combined. I guess they have to keep the shackles on us just to make it fair.

Yes , Barbara Jordan was a very intelligent woman. I remember hearing her speak on news clips, but during her tenure, I was below the age of political awareness. The rest to fill that seat have not been worth the powder it would take to blow them straight to RFU land. The decline i the quality of representative of that district mirrors the quality of the culture in the district.

SJL continues to try to play the race card because that’s the only card she has (also known as playing without a full deck….). However hard she tries though, it always seems that she winds up playing the idiot card. At least Maxine Waters come across as someone who is truly spiteful and full of hate, but not as an idiot.
As a side note, it’s really difficult to believe that Gene Green and SJL are on the same team. Occasionally Gene Green comes across as a reasonable person, but then looking at the voting record and the fact that he willingly served as one of Nancy Pelosi’s chief lieutenants and you can readily deduce otherwise. I often wonder if he truly believes in what he is doing or is just along for the ride.

Numerous attempts have been made over the years to get Texas out from underneath the thumb of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. It wil not happen until the Right and Near Right control both houses and the presidency.I’m not too sure it will make that much difference. The incumbents like the system as it stands.
Some consultants will have to find a different job, though.

Found out last night the Texas Lege has passed a slew of HOA bills that override very common (and to my mind) practical procedures that we Nazis use to suppress the masses. One that sure bugs me is they have made it illegal in Texas to deny a vote in HOA elections to deadbeats who owe the association any money. Only 2 reasons that deadbeats owe us money: 1) they didn’t pay their annual fees (or setup a payment plan to do so more slowly) or 2) they have deed restriction violations that they ignored until they started getting fines over them. To me, this reeks of that Community Reinvestment Act mentality, giving people who really can’t afford the house a blank check when they don’t pay their bills.
On the other hand, it’s sure going to simplify our election since we won’t have to print a roster of eligible voters and have it handy on election night. -
3103 Shannon: I think it is pretty safe to say that all the responsible parties that were present pre1965 are gone. How much longer are we gonna hafta put up with some people groups constantly being legally “more equal” than others due to crapola that was outlawed over 150 years ago? Hasn’t the ultimate glass ceiling been broken, hasn’t whitey been punished enough for something that no living person of consequence had anything to do with? How much longer are we going to allow a group to get “extra equal” treatment with minority set asides, and scatalogical euphemism PC rules preventing any criticism of their behavior even though that behavior is felonious? When is enough really going to be wissin enough?

The other big reason I think it’s rape is that the farm reports on the radio up there have futures price updates for wheat and rape. -

While reading a scholarly piece regarding Egyptian imagery and stories later used to tell the Semitic peoples stories involving their own characters (such as Abraham) and came across the name Hugo Gressmann. We was credited with arguing that the story of Lazurus found in Luke 16 derived from a former Egyptian story. When I first saw “Lazarus” I thought, “no way can I accept this story as having originated as an Egyptian story”, then I realized that this Lazarus was not the young man Jesus rose from the dead but one in a parable. That placed me at ease since parables are not true stories but made up and use characters to teach a specific moral.
Anyhow, it seems that Gressmann was a Lutheran and a highly accomplished theologian. Would Shannon or anyone else shed some light on Gressman’s biography? It seems there’s scarce information out there on that. I simply like to understand the backgrounds of people.

#99 – Re: Gene Green – It’s nice to at least know that he has some principles that he is willing to compromise. So many of them on that side of the aisle don’t have any to begin with.
