Which or who is going to kill us first – pieces of sky falling to the ground because the evil, greedy Republicans (or at least a few of them) do not want to continue government spending with reckless abandon, or;

a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico which will hit us with the force of a thousand nuclear weapons, or;

Mexican drug lords brandishing automatic weapons provided the Eric Holder and President Big O, or;

the Taliban?

Katfish,

Math data, Stats, and Illustrated Charts pale in comparison to preconcieved notions. I am an Engineer and a 6-Sigma Black Belt; the winning argument usually ends up being one thing.

1. What is in it for me? How will I personally benefit by this action or change?

Logic and proofs are wasted on 90% of the population. Go for the heart and you will win every time. (Ask a successful salesman !!)

I love the “Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest”
And the best ever was the 2005 winner;

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual.

Grand Panjandrum’s Special Award
India, which hangs like a wet washcloth from the towel rack of Asia, presented itself to Tex as he landed in Delhi (or was it Bombay?), as if it mattered because Tex finally had an idea to make his mark and fortune and that idea was a chain of steak houses to serve the millions and he wondered, as he deplaned down the steep, shiny, steel steps, why no one had thought of it before.

This is interesting; APNewsBreak: Arctic scientist under investigation.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A federal wildlife biologist whose observation in 2004 of presumably drowned polar bears in the Arctic helped to galvanize the global warming movement has been placed on administrative leave and is being investigated for scientific misconduct, possibly over the veracity of that article.

Charles Monnett, an Anchorage-based scientist with the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, or BOEMRE, was told July 18 that he was being put on leave, pending results of an investigation into “integrity issues.” But he has not yet been informed by the inspector general’s office of specific charges or questions related to the scientific integrity of his work, said Jeff Ruch, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility.

To take the prize for best purple prose, Mike Pedersen of North Berwick, Maine, relied on a thesaurus’-worth of synonyms:

“As his small boat scudded before a brisk breeze under a sapphire sky dappled with cerulean clouds with indigo bases, through cobalt seas that deepened to navy nearer the boat and faded to azure at the horizon, Ian was at a loss as to why he felt blue.”

For all you “space geeks” this is interesting:

Trojan asteroid tags along on Earth’s orbit
The asteroid in the Earth’s orbit around the sun has been hiding from view, mostly overhead during daylight, study finds.
snip
Turns out the moon’s not the Earth’s only traveling companion. Space scientists have discovered an asteroid that’s been following our fair planet for thousands of years, at least — and there may be many more where it came from, according to a recent study.

If other so-called Trojan asteroids are found, they could turn out to be ideal candidates for a visit from astronauts, something NASA hopes will be possible within the next 15 years.

I think we should spend several trillion dollars establishing a colony on one of those ~~hemorrhoids~~ assteroids and have the colonists be selected from the group that consistently votes for the likes of Harry Reid and SJL. We could load them all on a really big rocket ship and shoot them towards the assteroid and if it misses and hits the sun instead, oh well oooooops!

Just in my email from a real sicko:

Escaped Convict

A man escapes from a prison where he’s been locked up for 15 years.

He breaks into a house to look for money and guns. Inside, he finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair.

While tying the homeowner’s wife to the bed, the convict gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.

While he’s in there, the husband whispers over to his wife. ‘Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He’s probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn’t seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don’t resist, don’t complain…do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he’ll kill us both. Be strong, honey. I love you!’

His wife responds, ‘He wasn’t kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear.

He told me that he’s gay, Thinks you’re cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline. I told him its in the bathroom. Be strong. I love you too honey!’

It made me laugh out loud.

A South Carolina woman has to have a jury trial for the heinous crime of hanging trucksticles on her pickup.

The South Carolina code of laws says “a sticker, decal or emblem is indecent when it describes, in a patently offensive way… sexual acts, excretory functions or parts of the human body.”

Caddell says he must interpret the law differently than Police Chief Fuda.

“My interpretation is they’re talking about human body parts,” says Caddell. “I don’t think these are human body parts… it looks like a chrome plated door knocker.”

Either Police Shief Fuda is hung like a bull elephant, is a eunuch who has never seen human “giblets”, or is simply an idiot with too much time on his hands. Trucksticles are clearly modeled after a certain farm animal’s “transmission”.

Bonus: pixellated picture of what trucksticles might look like if you had eyes like a fly or bee.

More and more it is looking like that arbitrary date of Aug. 2 is a hoax because the federal government doesn’t seem to have a contingency plan in place to handle the repercussions of defaulting. First, we had that date that it had to be done to have enough time to process it thru Congress. Then of course the president imposed certain dates, they all came and went. Maybe defaulting would be a good thing, it would definitely slow down or stop our borrowing and that would be a good thing. Look, the federal government should easily have enough money to make the interest and principal payments on those notes so there will be no default there. Then the president would have to prioritize the rest. And remember that famous statement from Algore, the social security money is in a “lockbox” so unless the Dummycrats lied to us that should be there (but we all know it isn’t). I’m for testing the consequences of default because it will obviously stop the spending (aka “vote buying” from Obummer).

While there would not be a default in the strictest sense of the word, it would be very close. If we end up with an even partial gov’t shutdown at this point, it would be like no other that we’ve had or almost had.

Previous shutdowns have all been the result of failing to pass budgets or continuing resolutions, but there was still ample borrowing capacity that governments payments would be able to be made. If the current impasse results in a gov’t shutdown, the President gets to decide exactly which payments would be made, which would be delayed, and which would be all but defaulted on.

It is very likely in such a case that the Administration would make payment on existing bonds first. After that, probably military and other gov’t workers paychecks. After that, it turns very political, very quickly. It is almost certain that payments to people in certain Congressional districts and certain states would be either processed or delayed based on the impact to the President’s political strength.

Additionally, it is certain to lower the ratings of US Treasuries. This would have an immediate impact on our borrowing costs, costing a likely $100 billion a year in additional interest on our current debt. Financial havoc would also result from institutional and sovereign bondholders shifting their positions in Treasuries either as a hedge against further downgrades or because (in the case of institutional holders) they are required to limit their exposure to sub-AAA assets to a defined percentage of total assets.

This very likely scenario is something that would cripple the US for a long time.

This very likely scenario is something that would cripple the US for a long time.

Borrowing more money now to avoid it will result in an even worse crash later. I’d rather cripple the US now. You can’t borrow your way out of a hole indefinitely. Putting this off is supremely irresponsible.

As far as a lowered rating goes, if Moody’s and S&P were honest they would have already lowered us. Last week I linked to an article wherein it was shown that three agencies had already downgraded. At least they’re honest. Honesty is in critically short supply in this debt ceiling debate, and it’s not what we want to hear, but it’s what we need.

My “honest” comment was meant to extend only as far as their downgrade. I can’t attest to the rest. 🙂

And I’d be surprised if Moody’s and S&P actually followed through with their downgrade. Those guys are bought and paid for and they know it.

The time-proven cure/treatment is a Dreamsicle.

Actually, Mythbusters did a deal about this last year (?). Milk (whole) was the best of the remedies they tested. I think it has to do with the fat in the milk binding to either the capsaicin from the peppers or the receptors preferentially over the pepper juice.

The funniest part of that show was how much of a weenie Grant turned out to be. He about passed out from jalapenos. Tory barely registered anything with them, so they had to jack him up on habaneros (which got his attention).

It is very likely in such a case that the Administration would make payment on existing bonds first. After that, probably military and other gov’t workers paychecks. After that, it turns very political, very quickly. It is almost certain that payments to people in certain Congressional districts and certain states would be either processed or delayed based on the impact to the President’s political strength.

Anyone who does NOT believe the above needs to get their head examined. The above is a much a “sure thing” as there ever was, kinda like “its gonna be real hot in Houston in the last 1/2 of July.”

That report is weird.

On Thursday, Ruch’s watchdog group plans to file a complaint with the agency on Monnett’s behalf, asserting that Obama administration officials have “actively persecuted” him in violation of policy intended to protect scientists from political interference.

So, someone whose observations have been used to promote man-made global warming is being harrassed by the *Obama* administration.

According to a transcript, investigator Eric May asked Gleason his thoughts on Gore referencing the dead polar bears. Gleason said none of the polar bear papers he has written or co-authored has said “anything really” about global warming.

“It’s something along the lines of the changing environment in the Arctic,” he said.

Gleason said others put their own spin on research or observations.

The complaint alleges Gleason and Monnett were harassed by agency officials and received negative comments from them after the article was published. Gleason eventually took another Interior Department job; he didn’t respond to an email and a BOEMRE spokeswoman said he wouldn’t be available for comment.

Ruch also claimed the investigation is being done by criminal investigators with no scientific background, even though the case is an administrative matter.

Here Gleason, a fellow researcher wth Monnett, seems to be either covering his own butt (and Monnett’s) or pointing out the exploitation of his observation by global warming activists. The latter seems to happen a lot so there may be some legitimacy.

New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism

NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA’s Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA’s Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.

snip)

Alarmist computer models assume human carbon dioxide emissions indirectly cause substantial increases in atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds (each of which are very effective at trapping heat), but real-world data have long shown that carbon dioxide emissions are not causing as much atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds as the alarmist computer models have predicted.

Obviously they haven’t scanned Houston lately. Still, good news of discovery even during the nation’s current heat wave.

Fort Hood Plot: AWOL U.S. Serviceman Arrested

A U.S. serviceman is in custody after he allegedly admitted he was planning an attack on the U.S. Army base at Fort Hood, Texas, the same base where 13 people were killed in a 2009 terror attack.

U.S. officials told ABC News an AWOL serviceman, identified by the FBI as a Private First Class Naser Jason Abdo, was arrested Wednesday after making a purchase at Guns Galore in Killeen, Texas, the same ammunition store where Maj. Nidal Hasan purchased the weapons he allegedly used to gun down 13 people and wound 32 others on Nov. 5, 2009.

(snip)

Abdo told ABC News in 2010 he was Muslim and should not have to participate in what he called an “unjust war” in the Middle East.

“Any Muslim who knows his religion or maybe takes into account what his religion says can find out very clearly why he should not participate in the U.S. military,” Abdo said then.

#78 mharper42. Presuming there is a cotton crop that actually grew and matured around here, having it wet at harvest time is bad, bad. Water soaks the bolls and weighs them down, sometimes even to laying on the ground, in the dirt/mud. The harvesting machine is designed to work with the plants upright. If the wet bolls on upright stems don’t dry quicky they start to rot. Soggy muddy ones on the ground are a loss regardless. A pounding hard rain from a tropical storm or even from an ordinary summer thunderstorm can ruin most of a crop. My source is a dear friend who grew up in the Panhandle in cotton farming territory.

ATF Boss May Have Shared ‘Fast and Furious’ Information with White House in 2010

(Bold mine)

A senior ATF Special Agent in a management role over Operation “Fast and Furious” communicated via email with a National Security Director for North America and may have shared information about the federal gun running operation currently mired in scandal as early as September of 2010, according to a CBS News report.

Bill Newell, Chief of the ATF’s Phoenix, Arizona office, admitted in testimony before the House Oversight Committee to email contact with White House National Security Director for North America Kevin O’Reilly, whom he described as a friend. That direct contact, however, may have touched on Operation “Fast and Furious,” which would mean the White House could have known the details of the operation almost a full year ago. According to CBS News, Congressional investigators obtained an email from Newell to O’Reilly in September of last year in which Newell began with the words: “you didn’t get this from me.” Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) asked ATF Agent Newell about this exchange, and Newell replied:

“He was asking about the impact of Project Gunrunner to brief people in preparation for a trip to Mexico… what we were doing to combat firearms trafficking and other issues.”

Ouch!!!

Rep. Darell Issa hopes O’Reilly will clarify by testifying before the committee. But the Congressman also expressed his dismay at what he believes are White House efforts at the highest level to intimidate witnesses. The Washington Times reported that Rep. Issa said:

“At least two scheduled witnesses expected to be asked about a controversial weapons investigation known as “Fast and Furious” received warning letters from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to limit their testimony.”

Double ouch!!!

The House Oversight Committee also heard at least one instance of an ATF Agent who speaks openly and frankly about the operation — Special Agent in Charge Canino. Below he lays out a critical component of the whole Gunwalker scandal: the principle, taught to law enforcement from the very beginning of their careers, that you never, ever allow an illegal gun to ‘walk’ — meaning it leaves law enforcement control or surveillance . When asked what specifically disgusted him when he found out about Operation “Fast and Furious” this past April, Special Agent Canino referred to a report he read in which it appeared guns were allowed to walk, stating:

” I was so disgusted, I didn’t want to look at the case file anymore..it goes against everything we’re taught…you don’t do that….from the first day you walk into the academy…. it’s not a recognized investigative technique.”

Triple ouch!!!

Do three ouches mean you’re guilty?

(Bold mine)

A senior ATF Special Agent in a management role over Operation “Fast and Furious” communicated via email with a National Security Director for North America and may have shared information about the federal gun running operation currently mired in scandal as early as September of 2010, according to a CBS News report.
Bill Newell, Chief of the ATF’s Phoenix, Arizona office, admitted in testimony before the House Oversight Committee to email contact with White House National Security Director for North America Kevin O’Reilly, whom he described as a friend. That direct contact, however, may have touched on Operation “Fast and Furious,” which would mean the White House could have known the details of the operation almost a full year ago. According to CBS News, Congressional investigators obtained an email from Newell to O’Reilly in September of last year in which Newell began with the words: “you didn’t get this from me.” Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) asked ATF Agent Newell about this exchange, and Newell replied:

“He was asking about the impact of Project Gunrunner to brief people in preparation for a trip to Mexico… what we were doing to combat firearms trafficking and other issues.”

Ouch!!!

Rep. Darell Issa hopes O’Reilly will clarify by testifying before the committee. But the Congressman also expressed his dismay at what he believes are White House efforts at the highest level to intimidate witnesses. The Washington Times reported that Rep. Issa said:

“At least two scheduled witnesses expected to be asked about a controversial weapons investigation known as “Fast and Furious” received warning letters from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to limit their testimony.”

Speaking of purple prose.

Exhibit A

Liberty County investigators have uncovered a treasure trove of stolen items concealed on a wooded lot off U.S. 59 that also contained a marijuana growing operation, a methamphetamine stash and a rocket launcher.

Exhibit B

Upon arrival, deputies say they located numerous firearms, including shotguns, semi-automatic shotguns, rifles, handguns and a disabled L.A.W. rocket launcher. Deputies say they also located an undisclosed amount of methamphetamine, narcotics paraphernalia, an undisclosed amount of US currency and a marijuana growing operation. They say there was no drug making equipment at the site.

Funny how the meaning changes with the omission of just one word.

I’m of the belief that the BATF was acting under orders from the DoJ, who got their marching orders from our HNP. They wanted to inflate the numbers of guns seemingly coming from those evil US gun shops so there would be outrage in Mexico and here from the anti-gun lunatics. Barry is a faithful follower of Malcolm Little’s “By any means necessary” mantra. His little community organizing event is falling apart. Heads will roll.

Evangelical NIH Director Speaks Out Against ‘Angry Atheists’ in Science

This Blaze article is juicy. It is about Francis Collins who is an Evangelical who purports to believe in macro evolution under an “elegant design”. While I personally do not believe in it I certainly do hold for the possibility that God used evolution as a mechanism to create the human existence. But he also supports embryonic stem cell research. I absolutely do not. Even if the potential promises scientists purport embryos to hold for human betterment were exclusive to embryonic stem cells, I’d still oppose using killing a human embryo to “better” mankind. Fortunately medical prooomises are not contained in embryonic stem cells but in adult stem cells. This latter scientific development I fully support.

Furthermore Intelligent Design advocate Johnathan Wells disputes Collins’ own declaration thaty “junk DNA” is evidence of Darwinian evolution. Wells shows how new discoveries show there really is no “junk DNA”. That all parts of DNA, even the most minute parts of it, serve specified purposes. Kinda like the structure of DNA was thought out before coming into existence.

Why do we even have a debt ceiling? Blame Woodrow Wilson.

This is worthy of a front page post.

With all of this debt ceiling political dueling going on today in Washington, curiosity got the better of me and I decided to investigate how we got ourselves wrapped up in this mess in the first place. Would it really surprise you to know that Woodrow Wilson is behind it?

A number of Democrats today — including former President Bill Clinton — are calling on President Obama to invoke the 14th Amendment and issue an executive order to increase the debt ceiling. This got me wondering — if that’s possible, why do we even have a debt ceiling if Congress and the president can just ignore it whenever they want?

To answer this question, you have to look at how the debt ceiling came to be. We haven’t always had such a measure to “control spending,” and in fact it became the law of the land in 1917. At the time, Wilson was about to usher the United States into World War II and his administration was looking to issue Liberty Bonds. To reassure Americans that the federal government would be “responsible” with their money while at war, Wilson’s administration used the idea of a debt ceiling as cover. It seems average Americans didn’t trust the government and, lo and behold, they were right.

Note that I believe Jessup meant “World War I”, not “World War II”.

So, debt ceiling policy which, as shown earlier by Sowell which I posted yesterday, does NOT cap spending whatsoever but it is used to cast blame from the ones responsible for overspending upon those who want spending controlled, is, not supririsingly, a policy straight from the Progressive Era.

And HERE is a direct link to the chart Jessup used to show the historic rise of the debt ceiling.

re: the chart at the bottom of Darren’s linkie #124: NOtice the almost verticle slope after 2005. . . . .right about the time the House fell to the Ds and Nanzi became Speaker.

Gunwalker: William Newell Circles the Wagons

As far as I can tell, this is from the same hearing as in my #114 post above. Red Trey Gowdy grilled Special Agent Newell on the sloppy execution of opperation Fast and Furious.

Gowdy insisted they should have interrogated the first straw buyer they knew had sold guns across the border, rather than walking more than 2,500 guns with an eye to getting a cooperative witness:

That’s an old fashioned investigative technique, it’s not as complicated as letting guns walk. It is more effective though, to go back and interrogate the person who made the acquisition.

Gowdy then demanded to know how exactly the ATF planned to extradite the drug kingpins, and was told there had never been any intention to do so. Gowdy was incredulous:

So once the guns made it to Mexico there was nothing you were going to do about those drug kingpins.

Newell said there was in fact a plan in place:

Yes sir, there was. One of the things we were going to do was as soon as we had solid information on who those drug kingpins were we were going to share that information with Mexican law enforcement.

Gowdy replied:

So they’re supposed to trust American law enforcement, who’s been conducting an investigation and knows guns are going into Mexico and you told them after the fact and they’re supposed to thank you and be partners in this endeavor? How are you going to dismantle the Mexican cartels if you’re not going to extradite the drug kingpins back to the United States, sir?

Newell:

We hoped the Mexicans would prosecute them for that.

Gowdy was derisive in his reply:

So you’re going to help the Mexican justice system, you’re just not going to tell the Mexican justice system about it? It was never going to work.

Fast and Furious, “Stupid” is thy name. (This opperation as well as the movie).

And notice the article’s subtitle: Tuesday’s hearing put the ATF special agent under the microscope, and he revealed as little as possible. Take a look at my #114’s “Double ouch!!!” blockquote :

“At least two scheduled witnesses expected to be asked about a controversial weapons investigation known as “Fast and Furious” received warning letters from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to limit their testimony.”

#128 ST: I could only watch about 3 -4 minutes of that racist jerk weasel before I had to shut it off.. I had the misfortune of working on someone just like the guy in the video and he actually accused me of being a racist simply because I was white. He tried to tell me of the great libraries and universities/learning centers that were in Africa before the white man came. I asked him what happened to them and he claimed that the white man destroyed them. I asked is there no evidence left of their existence and why have I never heard of such a thing before that day and his answer was that of course you haven’t heard about it because you are white. This was a reasonably intelligent man who was completely brainwashed into the liberal theology. Another woman in the clinic, a black, said we had to have affirmative action and reparations because there was slavery. I lose any form of patience when I am forced to deal with people like that. The best solution is to avoid them as they are poison.

#131 ST: from your linkie:

Police arrested a 36-year-old homeless woman for ~~allegedly~~ snatching a baby boy from his stroller and slamming him into a pole, then trying to break his arm off so she could eat it, authorities said Wednesday.

There were several witnesses to the event, it really is not “alleged.”

According to the Times, Hubbard ran away but witnesses helped identify her, leading to her arrest. She was charged with aggravated assault and her bail set at $30,000. She is currently on probation for both a narcotics case and a battery case, and has been arrested for aggravated assault before.

In an interview with detectives, Hubbard confirmed she tried to break the baby’s arm off in order to eat it.

Take this oxygen thief out and shoot her at once, as she is an ongoing menace to society and can not be rehabilitated!

Rham the iron fisted socialist mayor of Chi-town is imposing a stricter curfew.

Parents who let their kids under 12 stay out past 8:30 p.m. on weekdays and 9 p.m. on weekends will pay a heavy price beginning Sept. 18, under a City Council crackdown launched Thursday at the urging of Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Supt. Garry McCarthy.
“I grew up with a curfew,” Emanuel said earlier this week. “When the lights on the street went on, you took your tail and made it home and in the house. And that’s what I believe is the right policy for the safety and security of our kids.
/snip
Former Police Committee Chairman Anthony Beale (9th) has warned that the new ordinance would overburden police and “penalize our children for enjoying the summer months.”
But Chief Assistant Corporation Counsel Jeff Levine has stressed that parents or guardians could escape liability if the minor is on the sidewalk in front of their own or a neighbor’s house.
He has also noted that citations would not be written until police officers ask questions about the minor’s age and reason for being out on the street.
“In a situation where a minor is biking up and down, essentially on their own block, the officer would have the tools under this ordinance to conclude that it is not a curfew violation,” Levine assured aldermen last week.

There is no way that this will turn out well. All the discretion is with the cops and we are supposed to believe that there will be no bribery/monkey business in association with this licence to unequally enforce the law. Liberals at work.

2) Just because I lost my Speakership doesn’t mean I’m a “loser” does it?

3) This is the best I can do. I hope it doesn’t look like a fake smile.

4) Botox has my face stuck in the “sad” mode.

5) Gosh, don’t I look appealing to all you men!!

6) If I wasn’t stuck in perpetual “smile”, I’d be crying.

7) This is the way I look when I’m mad.

8) With this kind of a “face” who needs a Halloween mask?

9) I wonder if I can use botox on the rest of my body?

10) If your not scared now, you should be!!!

There that should just about explain it.

Oh, heck, I guess I need a “Top Ten” list for the other PeLOSER picture (ref comment #110). So here goes:

1) Yeah, I’m into kinky sex. Wouldn’t you want to go to bed with me?

2) I was suppose to “whip” the rest of the Dummycrats into line but it didn’t work.

3) I’m taking this “whip” to a gun fight. Let’s see who wins.

4) I’m going to pop the first supporter who gets out of line.

5) This is evidence in the “Wu” case. I know because he used it on me.

6) I can’t really use this thing because I “popped” myself last night in bed.

7) Gosh, don’t I look mean with this thing and doesn’t everybody want to follow me.

8) Well, you see how good I did with this whip. I lost my speakership.

9) Considering I’m a “loser”, I should be glad that I’m at least the minority “whip”.

10) I want to thank Weiner for showing me how “sexting” works. Now I can send hot pictures of me using this “whip”.

There that covers the other picture. I hope everybody enjoys them.

It was actually a good night. One missionary and I visited a sister who’s struggling with former addictions. The Lord’s definitely been with her throughout her life and she needs to focus on the Lord and His atonement for hope and guidance. I also suggested she seek professional help. The Spirit was strong during our visit and there’s always hope in Christ.

Very cool and thought provocative.

Did anyone here, know, that Squawkie-Tooters just had his gall bladder removed? I can’t believe that he didn’t have enough gall to let us know. 🙁

I can’t believe that he didn’t have enough gall to let us know.

Actually, it took a lot of d@mn gall not to say anything.

Nevertheless, my prayers are with him for a speedy and complete recovery.

METRO Chairman Gilbert Garcia has concluded that, as president and CEO, Mr. Greanias must be held to a higher standard, and decided instead of a warning Mr. Greanias would receive a more stringent punishment of one week suspension, without pay.

Ooooh. More time to surf for man-porn. That’ll learn him!!!

To continue that puns, “what gall to take care of himself like that! Now what’s he going to do?”

Hope you recover, squawk.

Fiberoptic Studio uRay RGB Eco Tape Preview

Fiberoptic Studio just announced 2 new uRay color-changing LED lighting strips. The new uRay RGB Eco Tape and uRay RGB Link can be used for under-cabinet lighting, or accent or decorative lighting in home theaters or just about anywhere you want colorful accent lighting. uRay lighting is a series of flexible LED lighting strips that you can stick up just like tape. To get an idea of how cool these are, imagine unrolling a roll of tape with LEDs along the length. Give it power on one end (perhaps from an outlet that is located behind an acoustic panel) and you can create accent lighting with almost no effort whatsoever.

The uRay strips literally look like a roll of tape – they are flexible and have 3M double-sided tape included so you can place them anywhere and almost on any type of surface imaginable. Still not impressed? You can CUT them to any length since power can be applied at any location along the strip of tape. uRay lighting is also dimmable and can be plugged into any home control system to generate custom lighting settings and effects.

The uRay RGB Eco Tape is just $18.75/ft which sounds expensive until you see what it can do and how easy it goes on. Plus, this is a solution for enthusiasts and custom installations pros as well as interior decorators. The RGB LEDs can be dimmed and also controlled with iSky’s IR Remote & receiver or you can use the more robust DMX RGB Module. A single 4-amp driver can control up to 16 feet of lighting. The only difference between the Eco Tape and the Link tape is that the latter can be dimmed. It is priced at $28/ft.

You can easily make a room downright groovey.
