2012 Earf Day Open Comments
I don’t know which is worse: holocaust deniers or global warming deniers. Both seem to be able to hide from the breathtakingly intuitively obvious truth.

Headed to La Grange in my V8 powered SUV to volunteer. I forgot about earth day… perhaps I should have started riding my Huffy yesterday morning. 🙂
Shannon, don’t run over any cyclists in your neck of the woods today.

I pledge to do my part today by pulling up Ruellia to stop its kudzu-like invasion of Mother Earf.
That is all.

Texas forces win at San Jacinto
April 21, 1836On this day in 1836, Texas forces won the battle of San Jacinto, the concluding military event of the Texas Revolution. Facing General Santa Anna’s Mexican army of some 1,200 men encamped in what is now southeastern Harris County, General Sam Houston disposed his forces in battle order about 3:30 p.m., during siesta time. The Texans’ movements were screened by trees and the rising ground, and evidently Santa Anna had no lookouts posted. The Texan line sprang forward on the run with the cries “Remember the Alamo!” and “Remember Goliad!” The battle lasted but eighteen minutes. According to Houston’s official report, the casualties were 630 Mexicans killed and 730 taken prisoner. Against this, only nine of the 910 Texans were killed or mortally wounded and thirty were wounded less seriously.

Overheard at the Alamo ;
On that fateful day, Davy Crockett woke up and walked from his bunk on the floor of the Alamo up to the observation post on the west wall.
William B. Travis and Jim Bowie were up there already. The three gazed at the hordes of Mexicans moving steadily towards them.
Davy turned to Bowie with a puzzled look on his face and said, “Jim, are we landscaping today?” -

Well, it’s tough to admit a Republican financial program worked, but give credit to where it’s due.
Although the initial 2008 legislation set aside $700 billion for the program, by March 2011 the Congressional Budget Office estimated that TARP would disburse about $430 billion and get back all but about $19 billion.
This will provide an example of Republican response to future crisis.

Given credit conditions at the time, General Motors and Chrysler would have faced certain liquidation had not TARP rescued them.
No, they would have filed for bankruptcy, just like every other poorly-run corporation. Oh wait, they did that anyway.
Post-restructuring, the industry has added 230,000 jobs, and sales are up 50 percent since 2009.
Yeah, when you get to write off $80B, steal the company from the stockholders, and give ownership to the UAW and the federal government it’s pretty easy to cook the books.
GM and Chrysler – the new Amtrak.

In the “nobody could have predicted this” department, state decides to drug test welfare recipients, state pays more to test recipients than the money they saved by disqualifying welfare recipients, but the did obtain a moral victory.
Ushered in amid promises that it would save taxpayers money and deter drug users, a Florida law requiring drug tests for people who seek welfare benefits resulted in no direct savings, snared few drug users and had no effect on the number of applications, according to recently released state data.

This is all strangely circuitous. Government regulation of financial markets failed miserably, but government actions helped put out the fire, albeit after badly burning the economy. It’s hard to applaud the fire department when it abetted the arsonists.
There ya go.
If our government doesn’t put in place the regulatory framework to deal with the inherent instability in financial markets, we’ll be back in the bailout business again before we know it.
Oh, never mind. Government meddling, particularly congressional meddling in the housing financial market, is directly responsible for the recession. I know! Let’s let them meddle more!

Not a good week for Ted Nugent, he’s pleading guilty to illegally killing a black bear for his television show. Luckily the fine is less than he made from the show, so he’s good.
Rocker and wildlife hunter Ted Nugent has agreed to plead guilty to transporting a black bear he illegally killed in southeast Alaska.
Nugent made the admission in signing a plea agreement with federal prosecutors that was filed Friday in U.S. District Court.I can see why he’s a conservative republican icon.

Last October, a mere 6 months ago, Bank of America, who this week severed their relationship with an American gun manufacturer and military vendor for political reasons, manuveured to shift their risk and debt into the lap of the American public with the approval of the Obama administration and the Federal Reserve.
Bank of America’s latest bailout bigger than ever
What, you thought the big banks were done leaning on taxpayers? Sure, Bank of America may have repaid the $45 billion it borrowed under the Troubled Asset Relief Program, but it’s a long way from standing on its own.
Last month, the bank’s Merrill Lynch unit was hit by a credit downgrade. Moody’s Investors Service cut its rating to Baa1, three notches above junk status. Apparently, this concerned the counterparties for Merrill’s derivatives, who worried their collateral could be compromised if Merrill’s credit rating fell more. So, Bank of America shifted a portion — or perhaps all — of its $53 trillion in derivatives holdings to its retail bank.
That way, the derivatives can be backstopped by the bank’s $1 trillion in deposits — deposits that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The FDIC, of course, has objected to the move because it would be on the hook if something went wrong. The Federal Reserve, which is concerned with bank soundness rather than depositor exposure, supports the move.

Lawrence Auster publishes the blog, View From the Right, and captured the essence of New York Times editorial style this week in a post about the deaths of Levon Helm and Dick Clark.
Also, Dick Clark, the emperor of Rock ‘n’ Roll, is dead at 82. Notice the Times’ consistently condescending tone toward Clark throughout the obit, acknowledging his talent and success while always presenting it in a way to belittle him. I don’t carry any particular brief for Dick Clark, but it is to be observed that the Times, imitated by other liberal organs, has a highly developed technique of telling its readers, not through honest and clear speech, but through the subconceptual method of tone and word choice, of whom they should approve and especially of whom they should not approve. You might call it passive aggressive journalism—involving an aggression which the aggressor can deny.
I really could not have put it better myself.

Are these the tall Ruellia or the short ones?
One of the reasons these guys are so spreadalicious is that the seeds are propagated by exploding seed pods. If you water a stand of these guys after a couple weeks of drought, you’ll hear a snapping sound as the seed pods swell unevenly and fly apart with a snap. It entertains the kids.
Our garden was invaded by dayflowers which cannot be eradicated.

In the “nobody could have predicted this” department, state decides to drug test welfare recipients, state pays more to test recipients than the money they saved by disqualifying welfare recipients, but the did obtain a moral victory.Hmmmmmm—
From July through October in Florida — the four months when testing took place before Judge Scriven’s order — 2.6 percent of the state’s cash assistance applicants failed the drug test, or 108 of 4,086, according to the figures from the state obtained by the group. The most common reason was marijuana use. An additional 40 people canceled the tests without taking them.
So what you’re saying is that after four months of testing, we have enough information on how sucessful the program is going to be.
But after nearly four years of Unemployment over 8%, doubling of the National Debt, lowering of the National Credit Rating, the passage of no National Budget in three years, we need to give Obama another four years because his program will ultimately be successful.
Got it.

My apologies if posted earlier
Andrew Breitbart died of natural causes with no signs of illicit or prescription drugs in his body and his blood alcohol level at 0.4 percent — a negligible amount and the result, no doubt, of him enjoying some wine at a bar near his home about an hour before his unexpected death.
Imagine, if he had only followed the First Lady’s (and others) advice on nutritional eating, he’d still be posting poorly edited videos instead of increasing cholesterol levels among the annelids.

#9 Shamaal, when Florida Gov. Voldemort and his merry band of immoral whack jobs in the lege proudly announced their constitutionally offensive episode of acute cerebral flatulence, I correctly predicted the outcome; a waste of money that would do no good, but would energize their base, who hang their chads based on fallacious stereotypes that are intentionally promoted by politicians.
I also obtained a case of USPS approved specimen mailing kits, as well as the addresses of the more vocal authoritarians that touted the new law. I figure if they wanted some wiss, I’d do my patriotic duty and volunteer. 🙂
I’m not sure if I have enough mailing kits left over for for when Texas republican politicians inevitably climb aboard that brain dead bandwagon. No worries, I can get more.

I’d be curious if in this Obama economy, are the welfare rolls maxed out with waiting lines?
In other words if one recipient is disqualified for failing a drug test, does the spot immediately fill up? If so, no program is going to reduce the amount of recipients other than ousting the Oval Office Occupier.Also, in the interest of fairness, do the drug tests come with a weeks notice?

Yesterday I had an ambulance blow by me about 50 through a school zone, swerving and dodging all of us trying to get out of his way. I didn’t know cops and emergency vehicles weren’t subject to school zone speeds, do the little chillrens just know they aren’t allowed to run in front of them? Seriously though, the the last thing the ambulance driver and those of us avoiding him were doing was looking out for kids.

Bishop Jenky has a spokeswoman explain his remarks regarding the President of the United States and similarity to fascist regimes
“Based upon the current government’s threatened infringement upon the Church’s religious exercise of its ministry, Bishop Jenky offered historical context and comparisons as a means to prevent a repetition of historical attacks upon the Catholic Church and other religions,” said Patricia Gibson, chancellor of the Peoria Diocese.
“Bishop Jenky gave several examples of times in history in which religious groups were persecuted because of what they believed,” Gibson said. “We certainly have not reached the same level of persecution. However, history teaches us to be cautious once we start down the path of limiting religious liberty.”These guys have spokeswomen? Only men can interpret God for the masses and, I guess, women interpret men for the masses.

Yesterday I had an ambulance blow by me about 50 through a school zone, swerving and dodging all of us trying to get out of his way. I didn’t know cops and emergency vehicles weren’t subject to school zoneThey not supposed to. While the law allows them to speed, it does not allow them to endanger life or property. Texas law reads: (emphasis mine)
TRANSPORTATION CODE
TITLE 7. VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC
SUBTITLE C. RULES OF THE ROAD
CHAPTER 546. OPERATION OF AUTHORIZED EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND CERTAIN OTHER VEHICLES
SUBCHAPTER A. AUTHORIZED EMERGENCY VEHICLES

(1) park or stand, irrespective of another provision of this subtitle;
(2) proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign, after slowing as necessary for safe operation;(3) exceed a maximum speed limit, except as provided by an ordinance adopted under Section 545.365, as long as the operator does not endanger life or property;
and
(4) disregard a regulation governing the direction of movement or turning in specified directions.
Sec. 545.365. SPEED LIMIT EXCEPTION FOR EMERGENCIES; MUNICIPAL REGULATION. (a) The regulation of the speed of a vehicle under this subchapter does not apply to:
(1) an authorized emergency vehicle responding to a call;
(2) a police patrol; or

#36 Hamous, you forgot one: Republicans declare war on science.
BATON ROUGE – An effort to repeal a Louisiana law that allows teachers to introduce alternatives to evolution in science classrooms has been rejected by a Senate committee.
Zach Kopplin, a Baton Rouge native and a freshman at Rice University, has now twice lost his fight to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act adopted in 2008. He says the law harms the state’s image and allows the teaching of “pseudo-science.”
His position is supported by 78 Nobel Prize Laureates from around the world who write letters supporting his efforts.
Or as Rush Limbaugh fans put it, “Dang them interlekchul eleets!“

And now, here’s the text of the horrible anti-science law:
Section 1. R.S. 17:285.1 is hereby enacted to read as follows:
§285.1. Science education; development of critical thinking skills
A. This Section shall be known and may be cited as the “Louisiana Science Education Act.”
B.
(1) The State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, upon request of a city, parish, or other local public school board, shall allow and assist teachers, principals, and other school administrators to create and foster an environment within public elementary and secondary schools that promotes critical thinking skills, logical analysis, and open and objective discussion of scientific theories being studied including, but not limited to, evolution, the origins of life, global warming, and human cloning.
(2) Such assistance shall include support and guidance for teachers regarding effective ways to help students understand, analyze, critique, and objectively review scientific theories being studied, including those enumerated in Paragraph (1) of this Subsection.C. A teacher shall teach the material presented in the standard textbook supplied by the school system and thereafter may use supplemental textbooks and other instructionalmaterials to help students understand, analyze, critique, and review scientific theories in an objective manner, as permitted by the city, parish, or other local public school board.
D. This Section shall not be construed to promote any religious doctrine, promote discrimination for or against a particular set of religious beliefs, or promote discrimination for or against religion or nonreligion.
E. The State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and each city, parish, or other local public school board shall adopt and promulgate the rules and regulations necessary to implement the provisions of this Section prior to the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year.
Only authoritarian atheists trying to indoctrinate our kids would find “critical thinking skills, logical analysis, and open and objective discussion of scientific theories being studied including, but not limited to, evolution, the origins of life, global warming, and human cloning” a bad thing.

Of course they do, they allow lawsuits.
On February 21, 2006, the newly elected Dover Area School Board voted, unanimously with one abstention, to pay $1,000,011 in legal fees and damages due to the parents and their lawyers as a result of the verdict in the case, a large sum of money for a small district. The previous school board had been offered the opportunity to rescind its policy, and avoid paying legal fees, immediately after the lawsuit was filed in 2004, but it declined.

1. Wagonburner comments on the “authoritarians” in Louisiana “allowing” something.
2. In sideways agreement meant to somehow make your lost argument, you introduce some nonsense about Dover Area School District.

CochranShamaal: Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!Gerald Broflovski: Damn it! … He’s using the Chewbacca defense!
CochranShamaal: Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I’m a lawyer defending a major record company, and I’m talkin’ about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you’re in that jury room deliberatin’ and conjugatin’ the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests. -

Hey Shamaal
Yanno know why I believe in God is our creator and that he created everything from nothing?Cause I ain’t got the faith you have to believe that this all happened by “chance”. When you can tell me where all them elements came from to make the big firecracker that evolutionist believe started all this, then I might reconsider.
I’ll make it easy for you. One element that resulted from the the so called big bang would have to be oxygen right? Surely the evolutionist have explained this? Oxygen is considered one of the original elements. And since oxygen is “just” oxygen made up of protons, electrons and neutrons, Oxygen, technically, has 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons, where did the PENs come from? I’ll make it even easier for you, where did the thingies come from to create the big banger. Just what evolved to make the big bang and where did that come from?
At some point in the logic Shamaal if an evolutionist is honest and they cannot be, they have to concede creation. Creation “technically speaking” is the making of something form nothing which requires a creator that has always been and ever will be. A creator that is grander than our little human egotestical driven people can comprehend.
But you cannot and won’t, so I will mosey on along.
It is a beautiful day say I am going to enjoy this day God has CREATED and be glad in it.

First of all howdy back at ya. And i knew you could not explain because science cannot explain so the lie is propagated as a “religion” too. Interesting how that works and the evolutionist foist their religion upon me.
without acknowledgement to a religion
I do not do religion. I read and trust the words in the book. It did not take a Pastor, Reverend, Pope, Cardinal, Rabbi or Imam in a church, synagogue or mosque for me to come to the faith that I have in the Word. Interesting how that works.
Ya see the reason for my whole exercise above is not to argue with you, nope, it was establishing who your argument is with. It ain’t no one here btw, not even me. Even in the final part of your comment you attempt to cast me in some light that does not exist for me. Why you even tried to set rules for me and puhlease tell me where I have ever argued anything about governments and wombs in the same breath? You cannot. I am the last person in the world that you are familiar with that would entreat government to enforce “my will” much less enforce the Word of the book.
And about those voices, never mind……………..you have already soiled your pants on this “discussion”. Day light is burning gotta go now.

You are absolutely right, we are in complete agreement your Wikipedia link goes to the legislative Louisiana site and the Kitzmiller v. Dover site. And your second citation breaks out the text of the legislation. With diligence we could probably dig up the House legislation and agree with that.

You are absolutely right, we are in complete agreement your Wikipedia link goes to the legislative Louisiana site and the Kitzmiller v. Dover site. And your second citation breaks out the text of the legislation. With diligence we could probably dig up the House legislation and agree with that.

I do not do religion. I read and trust the words in the book.
I got lots of books, all published by religions, check the copyright. Thomas Jefferson, and I’m sure others, cut up books and created his own. More power to him. If you don’t want to believe it’s a religion, fine by me. Just keep your lawn mowed. 😉
If you wish to discuss singularities and big bang, I’m game. But I’m pretty much going to go with Stephen Hawking.

With Muslims being forbidden to eat dog meat and all, it’s a shame that there’s a large segment of the knucklehead population who are unable to appreciate the humour because they believe the President is a muslim.

Gorgeous day, Gypsy got to run around and everything is wet enough she doesn’t become covered in mud. I trimmed my roses last week, only two months late and performed some rudimentary weeding. I should be planting stuff so it has a reasonable chance of surviving the summer, but there’s a pleasant breeze drawing through the window and Valentina is playing quietly.
And yourself?

Nah, I’ve got nothing left to say on the topic. Serge may tweak it some more, but I’ve lost interest in absurd reductions.
I just chalk it up to multiple conversations in an OC forum, there’s going to be occasional crosstalk. I’m not as meticulous as I should be in identifying the comments that I’m responding to, so it’s my fault.

See there is your problem. I mean rudimentary weeding? Around my place I call it mowing the grounds, 3 sometimes 4 times a year. I do not have a lawn. The abundance of trees on my place is not conducive to the growing/maintenance of fine trimmed lawn grasses. You got way too much work on your hands.
One thing I enjoy is the abundance of wild weed flowers that grow up around here in the spring. I have never seen as many butterflies as I did this year and the varieties!! Whoohoo. Quite the bonus. After the flowers die I mow the weeds. The few neighbors I have hate me because I do not mow on “their schedule”, but that is okay too.

The yard service comes out once a week and does the lawns, and I admit I do like the geometrical orderliness of lawns and flower beds.
I do not use any insecticides, so I too have my share of butterflies and birds. For the past three years there have been more and more birds of different varieties. While this coincides with the election of Obama as president, I don’t see a causal relationship. 😉 Walking through the pipeline with Gypsy this morning, I actually came across a milkweed with a monarch caterpillar munching away. In Wisconsin we used to have fields of them, I don’t ever recall seeing them down here before, they got some sort of leggy variant with red and orange flowers. Perhaps they are abundant at Chez Squawkbox.I do however, attribute the presence of birds to the displacement of the fire ants by the crazy ants. Unfortunately, the crazy ants seem to have had their numbers cut back by the drought and the fire ants are staging a comeback. The encephalitis outbreak hit the crows, blue jays and cardinals hard. I’ve seen all of them recently also, along with owls and hawks.

Heh
I hate mowing and lawn care in general. Guess it is one of those bad memory scars from my childhood. 😉I do see monarchs around here but not in abundance as in the past. Another critter I have not seen in a long time is Luna Moths. When I moved here years back I would see them “all the time”. We have plenty of birds and more than a couple of varieties of lizards and snakes. I stay pretty well entertained with the antics each species provides. The Cooper’s Hawk that hangs around here keeps the squirrels in check. At night I am serenaded by bard and screech owls. Quite the joy.
Fire ants are problem here too. Good grief it is a constant battle keeping them out of my septic pump and air conditioner. So far no “crazy ants”.
Around here I have learned to live with the critters. Occasionally I have to trap and relocate raccoons or possums when Ginger has not run them off. Speaking of Ginger she loves chasing the two resident rabbits.
Yeah you might say I love the life in the sticks.

O.K. I’ve NOT been keeping up BUTT yesterday bob says;
I’m hungry. I think I’ll accompany the light rain with some strawberry & Banana Pancakes. Of course, nothing goes better on them than 100% Pure Steen’s Cane Syrup. I bring some with me when I go to Denny’s. There should be a law against offering only corn-maple-colored imitation syrup.
A man after my own heart, I use Steen’s for cooking but prefer Cane Patch for my sausages and flap-jacks. Steen’s, 100 % cane syrup, Cane Patch, 35 %. Steen’s is a little too strong for my taste,…yup, I’M a wimp. 😉

Trouble with Liberty University’s choice of Mitt Romney as commencement speaker this year. Some of the student’s and alumni believe the speaker should be someone who supports their religious convictions as taught by the university, while the University appears to be treating treating this as an exercise in religious tolerance and political opportunism. Shame that President Obama wasn’t available to speak.
Liberty University students and alumni are accusing the Christian school of violating its own teachings by asking Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints whose adherents are called Mormons, to deliver its 2012 commencement address.

In briefly before I head out again…
On the unemployment numbers, aren’t they actually low because of some kind of fiddling with the “count” within them? Kind of like calculating the cost of living after taking out food and energy kind of thing? I thought I heard something on the radio about that….but I’m about to go out for a while and can’t remember what was said.

There are 6 unemployment numbers that the government keeps.The numbers are consistent for comparison, that is compare U3 against U3 and you will have a similar set of numbers.
U-1 Persons unemployed 15 weeks or longer, as a percent of the civilian labor force
U-2 Job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs, as a percent of the civilian labor force
U-3 Total unemployed, as a percent of the civilian labor force (official unemployment rate)
U-4 Total unemployed plus discouraged workers, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus discouraged workers
U-5 Total unemployed, plus discouraged workers, plus all other persons marginally attached to the labor force, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force
U-6 Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor forceIn addition there is a telephone conducted current population survey (CPS) conducted monthly.
The charge of fiddling would be subjective. Changes as to how the numbers are arrived at are well publicized, usually have to do with seasonal employment. For example, the decrease in employment due to the census taking would have skewed the numbers so the numbers were adjusted upwards.
There’s always a political motivation to use the worst numbers when your opponent is in office and the most favorable when your party’s in office; but most folks see through that. There’s been a bill introduced in Congress to use the worst numbers, perhaps that is what was on the radio. FWIW, the highest numbers in recent memory were during the Reagan recession of 1982.

For those interested in the Catholic League’s publicity campaign for the Daily Show, the campaign has started
Our effort against Stewart includes asking his most consistent sponsors to pull their advertising (if necessary, we are not ruling out a boycott of their products), and a lengthy public relations campaign. The goal? To get him to apologize. If that doesn’t work, we can guarantee that his reputation will never be the same. …
What Jon Stewart did ranks with the most vulgar expression of hate speech ever aired on television. His incivility cannot go unanswered.To see the most “vulgar expression of hate speech ever aired on television” this page has a link to the offending show, you want around the 6:43 mark.
It doesn’t seem any worse than snips I’ve seen of South Park, but I confess I don’t watch either show.

Weird rule out there: The delegates to the Utah GOP convention get first crack at choosing a nominee by voting on the candidates. If anyone gets 60 percent, he’s nominated. If no one gets 60 percent, the top two finishers go to a statewide primary. That’s how Bob Bennett was sunk two years ago, you might remember. Tea partiers filled the ranks of convention delegates and ensured that he couldn’t place higher than third; Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater went on to the primary and you know how that turned out.
Hatch’s goal today was simple. To make sure that he’d at least make it out of the convention, he’s been working the delegate process for months — and has been so successful at it that, as of 10 days ago, an internal poll concluded that he had a very real chance of clinching the nomination by taking 60 percent. If he could pull that off, he’d avoid a primary and snuff any chance of a belated tea-party awakening on his challenger’s behalf. As of 2:30 p.m. ET, the votes are in. Hatch’s take: 59.1 percent. More from Dave Weigel:
The Tea Party movement is alive in Utah. With representatives from FreedomWorks in the audience, delegates at the Utah Republican Convention managed to force Sen. Orrin Hatch into a June 26 primary. He got 59.2 percent of their votes against Dan Liljenquist, a 38-year-old state senator. Hatch needed 60 percent to avoid the primary. He couldn’t do it. In two rounds of voting, he went from 2,243 votes to 2,313 votes. If he’d gotten 32 more votes, he would have wrapped this up…
FreedomWorks and other Tea Party groups now have two Causes to distract them from their failure to replace Mitt Romney with some better candidate — the Senate races in Utah and Indiana.
Whoohoo!!!
And from FreedomWorks’ website:
More than a year ago, Hatch’s campaign polled the 3,500 Republican delegates who voted Bennett out of office in May 2010.
Its discovery: Hatch had no chance of getting renominated, if those same 3,500 people voted.
“This is not going to be a campaign of persuading delegates,” Hatch’s campaign manager, Dave Hansen, said Thursday, recalling a conversation with the senator early last year. “This is going to be a campaign of replacing delegates.”…
To survive, Hatch needed new delegates. The first step was to recruit supporters willing to run in the 2,000 precincts that select this year’s 4,000 delegates to Saturday’s convention. Then he had to round up supporters willing to attend caucus night to vote for the Hatch-backed delegates. The initial goal of getting 20,000 supporters out on a cold Thursday night was eventually upped to 35,000. The campaign staff of 25 used every possible list to speak with potential backers.
Orrin Hatch fails to clinch GOP nomination in Utah — by 0.9%

Weird rule out there: The delegates to the Utah GOP convention get first crack at choosing a nominee by voting on the candidates. If anyone gets 60 percent, he’s nominated. If no one gets 60 percent, the top two finishers go to a statewide primary. That’s how Bob Bennett was sunk two years ago, you might remember. Tea partiers filled the ranks of convention delegates and ensured that he couldn’t place higher than third; Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater went on to the primary and you know how that turned out.
Hatch’s goal today was simple. To make sure that he’d at least make it out of the convention, he’s been working the delegate process for months — and has been so successful at it that, as of 10 days ago, an internal poll concluded that he had a very real chance of clinching the nomination by taking 60 percent. If he could pull that off, he’d avoid a primary and snuff any chance of a belated tea-party awakening on his challenger’s behalf. As of 2:30 p.m. ET, the votes are in. Hatch’s take: 59.1 percent. More from Dave Weigel:The Tea Party movement is alive in Utah. With representatives from FreedomWorks in the audience, delegates at the Utah Republican Convention managed to force Sen. Orrin Hatch into a June 26 primary. He got 59.2 percent of their votes against Dan Liljenquist, a 38-year-old state senator. Hatch needed 60 percent to avoid the primary. He couldn’t do it. In two rounds of voting, he went from 2,243 votes to 2,313 votes. If he’d gotten 32 more votes, he would have wrapped this up…
FreedomWorks and other Tea Party groups now have two Causes to distract them from their failure to replace Mitt Romney with some better candidate — the Senate races in Utah and Indiana.Whoohoo!!!
And from FreedomWorks’ website:More than a year ago, Hatch’s campaign polled the 3,500 Republican delegates who voted Bennett out of office in May 2010.
Its discovery: Hatch had no chance of getting renominated, if those same 3,500 people voted.
“This is not going to be a campaign of persuading delegates,” Hatch’s campaign manager, Dave Hansen, said Thursday, recalling a conversation with the senator early last year. “This is going to be a campaign of replacing delegates.”…
To survive, Hatch needed new delegates. The first step was to recruit supporters willing to run in the 2,000 precincts that select this year’s 4,000 delegates to Saturday’s convention. Then he had to round up supporters willing to attend caucus night to vote for the Hatch-backed delegates. The initial goal of getting 20,000 supporters out on a cold Thursday night was eventually upped to 35,000. The campaign staff of 25 used every possible list to speak with potential backers.Orrin Hatch fails to clinch GOP nomination in Utah — by 0.9%

Romney pledged that he would expand drilling for gas and oil as president and would buy oil from Canada. He attacked what Obama has frequently termed his administration’s commitment to an “all of the above” energy plan.
That’s an excellent way to celebrate earth day.

Why should the Democrat/Republican campaign be any different than the Republican primaries?
The innernets permits mud to seek its own level. There’s a reason these stories aren’t on the MSM, people aren’t interested or they can turn to Fox News or blogs.

I played hooky today. No dirt moving (too wet), no paperwork, very little housecleaning.
I slept late, met someone around 10:30 and visited for a few hours, went shopping and found some fabric on clearance for $1.50-$3.50 (DANG cheap) and bought some patterns, did some grocery shopping, then visited my sister for a little while. After that, I went home, talked with Lovely for a few minutes, then went to Hermann Park with my camera and walked around for about an hour and half, taking some pictures.
I’ve eaten dinner, petted Barf Kitty, took out the second load of fabric and hung it to dry, and am watching “A Few Good Men”.
It’s been a nice and relaxing day. I don’t have many of those.

The Lyrid meteor shower is on tonight and tomorrow. To be honest, I’ve only seen one of these showers that were worth something, but those in the boonies away from light pollution stand a better chance.
The Lyrid Meteor Showers happen annually, but this year’s “moonless” night and lack of cloud cover for the western two-thirds of the United States will make for better views.
For those with deep convictions against viewing the splendor that is our world on Earth Day, the Perseids are in August. 😉

Barry is the Dog eaterThe jokes are not trying to humiliate Obama supporters because their guy tried a little bit of poached poodle, steamed shepherd, hacked hound, grilled griffon, or battered bassett. The jokes are there because Obama and his handlers have spent untold hours trying to craft a very refined image of the president while at the same time diminishing his rival(s) and this whole narrative completely and utterly throws sand in those gears.
That it’s hilarious on its own merits is simply some really tasty icing on the cake.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?It is all about relationship my friend, not religion. Have a great rest of the weekend. Time for my beauty rest.

Hey, I thought it was clever, with the naughty nun theme and all.
I confess the self restraint let’s some of the good jokes get away, but look at the material I have to work with:
They’ve come down harder on the nuns and their union than they ever did on the priests and let’s face it; if altar boys got pregnant, contraception would be a sacrament. We’ve already established that the church and their institutions offer contraception to their employees because of government laws, now we’re just arguing about the price.I’ll try and do better, but it’s not as though the competition is inspiring, the best Darren can do for the Republican nominee is: He’s just like Obama, only Republican; and Darren has to like him, it’s a Mormon Moroni mandate or sumthin.
I knew I should have included the nun spanking graphic. 😉

He’s just like Obama, only Republican; and Darren has to like him, it’s a Mormon Moroni mandate or sumthin.
HERE’S what I like about Romney. Excellent opening to boot.
Here’s a good section of a “Mormon Moroni mandate”
43 And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart.
44 If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.
45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—
47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
Now, from Squawk, to Catholics, to Mormons, you seemd itching to talk religion and since you can’t get your atnatagonistic fix here then try Patheos. I bet there’s an issue there you cant vet about.

And I plan on being around a few more years so I can do this, too.
At the age of 90 and married 62 years, these two are acting like they’re in their 20s. This is a great video that shows we are only as old as our attitude. These two were an inspiration to everyone at the clinic that day.

Feminist dilemma. Do I support her success or condemn her for “consorting with the enemy?” How ’bout just letting her live her life?
Elizabeth Ann Smart Gilmour (born November 3, 1987) is an American activist and contributor for ABC News. She first gained widespread attention at age 14 when she was kidnapped from her home and recovered nine months later.
Smart was abducted from her bedroom on June 5, 2002, at age 14. She was found nine months later on March 12, 2003, in Sandy, Utah, 18 miles from her home, in the company of Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Ileen Barzee.
On October 1, 2009, Smart testified to being threatened, tied, and raped daily while she was held captive.
On November 16, 2009, Barzee announced she would plead guilty to assisting in the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart, as part of an agreement with prosecutors. On May 19, 2010, Barzee was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison. As part of a plea deal between the defense and federal prosecutors, federal Judge Dale Kimball gave Barzee credit for seven years that she already has served, the U.S. attorney in Utah said.
On March 1, 2010, Mitchell was found competent to stand trial for the kidnapping and sexual assault charges in federal court by judge Kimball; his trial began on November 8, 2010, and on December 10, 2010, the jury found Mitchell guilty on both counts. On May 25, 2011, Mitchell was sentenced to two life-terms in federal prison.
With her tragic story, mild smile, and crusade to end crimes against children, Elizabeth Smart has been as controversial as vegetables.
Elizabeth SmartKidnapped from her bedroom nearly a decade ago, and held hostage and abused for 9 months, Smart, now 24, became a symbol of the worst fears of women (rape) and parents (losing a child). Not only did she survive, but she has spun cruel misfortune into altruism, using her foundation, speaking engagements, and reports for ABC news to advocate for children. Her marriage this year in Hawaii seemed cathartic to anyone who remembered her story from the lurid headlines.
But her days of being wholly inoffensive may be numbered. Smart, a devout Mormon, is joining Governor Chris Christie as a featured speaker at the New Jersey Right to Life’s annual banquet next week—which seems to prominently place her on one side of the nation’s ongoing culture war.
“Because I speak to a certain group, it doesn’t mean I endorse or support their agenda or positions, nor am I amenable to tailoring my remarks as such,” said Smart in a statement through her spokesman, Chris Thomas, noting that she has spoken to numerous groups “representing various interests and different religions.”

#45 Thanks Hamous, I stand corrected. Democrat politicians can also confuse religion and science.
A bill (SB561) named the “Louisiana Academic Freedom Act,” was prefiled on March 21, 2008 in the Louisiana Senate by the Education Committee chair, Ben Nevers, a Bogalusa Democrat.
The original bill was a little to close in wording to a previous law whose goal was teach creation science. It was ruled unconstitutional in the Edwards vs. Aguillard case of 1987, so the current law was softened up (by a republican) and refiled under a different Bill#.
Whether it’s Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Pennsylvania, or any other state, efforts such as this are often designed and supported by the Discovery Institute. They have earned a reputation for being dishonest, and I do not trust them.
Seriously, who in their right mind would want this guy’s “scientific” theories presented to their children as supplemental biology material?
Time to go to church now. I’m singing at both services. We always throw a couple of Christians to the lions on the 4th Sunday of the month, but since it’s Earth Day we’re sacrificing them to the Goddess Gaea, who is well known for offering scientific alternatives to the theories of evolution. Maybe kids will hear about her someday in biology classes.

I just got a text saying the choir doesn’t have to be there until 9AM. Cool! I have time for another cup of good coffee. The UU stuff isn’t very good (I think it’s cursed.)
Despite the brutal shortage of chips, Holly and I had a nice, laid back 4/20 and ended up at Outback for a salad and a Sammy. Some of our friends say we’re acting like kids, which is partially true, but at least we’re not wearing matching t-shirts yet.
And for the record, we’re planting a couple of rose bushes between services. The lions had the weekend off.

From what I know of Richard, he is particularly close to John Bolton, which augurs well for those of us who would like to see Bolton return to the UN or assume an even higher foreign policy role in a possible Romney administration. With all the ongoing treachery of Iran, Syria, the putative “Arab Spring,” Hamas, Hezbollah, North Korea, etc., etc., Bolton’s more needed now than ever — and the Grenell appointment points the way.
Richard also has considerable background as a spokesperson for Republican politicians (George Pataki, San Diego Mayor Susan Golding, etc.).
But there’s one thing about Grenell not mentioned in the politically correct WaPo – he’s openly gay.
What, you say – who cares? And you are correct.
Roger thinks Axelrod is a putz.
Team Axelrod is another matter. Recently they have done everything in their power to stir the pot with phony distractions – fake racism, fake sexism, fake classism, even fake dogs. You name it, they’ve done it – except do any honest analysis of our current economic and foreign policy situation.
So what’s to prevent them from coming after Richard, stirring that same pot yet again to provoke virtually anyone to bite? After all, even if it creates but ten minutes of distraction, that’s ten minutes the public is not paying attention to the real issues, issues that hurt the president. Team Axelrod may not be able to resist.
Well, David, as one Jew to another, enough already. Stop this and the rest of your bogus attacks and distractions.

It seems to me from reading lots of posts, articles and such that, in most cases (M42 is specifically excepted here), atheists are:
1) Liberals
2) Bitter
3) Angry at the world
4) Take joy in aggravating those who do not believe as they do/don’t
5) Liars
6) Love to pretend to be the smartest person in the room
7) When presented with facts that make them look like the fool they are, they attack the source of fact, the bringer of said facts or throw up other clouds of irrelevant BPH so they don’t have to deal with the facts presented.
8) Seem to thrive on conflict and strife, if there isn’t any they tend to create it
9) Are almost universally anti Israel.The characteristics above all point to mental illness, which makes sense because you have to be crazy to not believe in God.

The only atheists who get any publicity are the ones who are rampaging with an agenda. It’s just like the gay agenda. There are quiet gays and atheists, just living their lives. Then there are rabid gays and atheists who want to shove their views down your throat. Won’t give up until you agree with them, or are kicked to the curb if you just won’t agree with them no matter what.Without stats — but I’d venture to say that most atheists live quiet lives. Maybe most of the quiet ones just keep it to themselves, so you don’t know who they are, or how many there are.

Not a goal, nor even a challenge.Blogs are interesting places, with a variety of people. Discussion with one individual oftentimes spills over into another, it is this cross-pollination that I engage in. General rules against pedantry, OCD and ad hominem attacks generally keep me clear of the rocks and shoals. I lead a very structured worklife, and the Couch permits me to talk of other things. I have learned much here and I suspect others have also.
For instance we learned yesterday that the Keystone Pipeline was completed in 2010 and flows 500M+ bbl of Canadian oil daily to the US. Many folks confuse this with the extension (Keystone XL) and mistakenly believe that the President has some sort of animosity against Canadian oil. An educated electorate is an informed electorate.
The mockingbirds are still going at it and the snakes are moving into cover. Soon it will be time for Gypsy to run. -

The Mexican executive, previously the lawyer in charge of obtaining construction permits, said in emails and follow-up conversations that Wal-Mart de Mexico paid bribes to obtain permits throughout the country in its rush to build stores nationwide, the Times reported.
I mean seriously, la mordida is endemic to Mexico. It is the only way to get ANYTHING done. Anyone that’s driven more than 50 miles into Mexico in the last 100 years knows to 1) have a vehicle that can outrun the local LEOs (not a hard thing) or, 2) be prepared to fork over a few bucks to continue your trip.
Of course now you don’t drive into Mexico at all. Not because of la mordida but in fear for your life.

Here’s something I didn’t know:
The most serious misconduct by a Secret Service advance team occurred on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. Six members of the president’s security detail were seen drinking at the local press club until 3 a.m., and then reportedly took the party to an after-hours club. Less than six hours later, President John F. Kennedy was shot dead in his motorcade.

This is disturbing. If I understand the story, a group of hackers infected 4M computers to direct their activity to a phony DNS server that then redirected traffic to other sites and taking $14M+ advertising revenue credit on the routing. When busted, the FBI replaced the phony servers, with their phony servers that do the right thing. The FBI’s getting tired of paying the upkeep and wants to close out the server but claim so many folks are infected, things will come to a halt for a large number of folks.
This sounds like something that one gets in an email.
The FBI press release is here.

Priorities USA, a super-PAC focused on reelecting President Obama, has asked former President Bill Clinton to help them pick up the pace on fundraising.
The group, which is headed by former Obama White House staffers, has struggled to keep pace with pro-GOP outside groups. It has raised $8.8 million with $5 million in the bank, according to new reports, while the pro-Romney Restore Our Future has brought in $51.9 million and still has $6.5 million left after an expensive primary.
The pro-Republican American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS have raised nearly $100 million and plan to spend a total of $250 million on this election. If Priorities USA and other pro-Democratic super-PACs can’t pick up the fundraising pace Democrats and their allies could be vastly outspent by their opposite groups this year.
That’s funny, BO never needed Willie Jeff’s help before. I thought Barack was so magical and mystical the money flowed to him out of the heavens.
The quid pro quo has to be deadly on this one. Not to mention the humiliation factor.

Speaking of rubber chickens launched into space .……………
During the two and a half hour flight, Camilla spent approximately 90 minutes in the stratosphere where temperatures (-40 to -60 C) and air pressures (1% sea level) are akin to those on the planet Mars. The balloon popped, as planned, at an altitude of about 40 km and Camilla parachuted safely back to Earth. The entire payload was recovered intact from a landing site in the Inyo Mountains.
The payload, a modified department store lunchbox, carried four cameras, a cryogenic thermometer, and two GPS trackers. Seven insects and two dozen sunflower seeds also rode along to test their response to near-space travel. The seeds were a variety known to gardeners as “Sunspot” (Helianthus annuus).Favorite paragraph
The seven insects did not survive the voyage and their corpses are being affixed to a “black ‘Foamboard of Death,’ a rare collection of bugs that have been to the edge of space.”

One of the many things I like about you is that you have never been openly hostile to those of us that believe in God. And I’d be willing to bet that you’re the same way privately. You also understand when those of us that do believe talk about militant atheists we are indeed making a distinction. While others use it as a buzzword or weapon, you know the true meaning of “tolerance”. Thank you.

If we could just get a lovable LibProg around here…
I don’t think that’s possible, but not because it’s anyone’s fault. Political persuasion doesn’t lend itself to tolerance whereas belief in a higher power does. Good people like MHarper recognize that a group erecting a lonely cross in a desert has no effect on her well-being. Those of us who are faithful recognize that her “non-belief” in a higher power has no effect on our well-being.
Libprogs have put their faith in an omnipotent, omniscient government that can solve all the world’s problems. True conservatives know that when your god is government the necessary end result is tyranny. The two belief systems are incompatible, hence we will never have a lovable libprog here.

Actually, I want the crosses to remain on the war memorials, everywhere they are. I don’t support eradicating history, for any reason. Removing the desert memorial you mentioned is exactly the same as the Taliban dynamiting those Buddhist statues in Afghanistan. -

Obviously I do not share Hamous’ doom and gloom pessimism of the American Republic. The very notion of politics is predicated upon negotiation, we won’t delve into examples of “religious tolerance” other than to say there is a reason the Constitution insists that no religion wil gain political power.
Tired bromides of “Libprogs have put their faith in an omnipotent, omniscient government that can solve all the world’s problems.” may carry weight with the Limbaugh crowd, but luckily the electorate is not as easily fooled.
True conservatives know that when your god is government the necessary end result is tyranny.
What a wonderful, self-fulfilling phrase. I would put it as: Liberals know that when the tool is government the necessary end result is tyranny. See, Gods are immutable: the government can be changed, Gods can not. The government serves the people, all of them, not the other way around.

Egypt’s national gas company EGAS announced Sunday that it will be cancelling its natural gas supply deal with Israel.
Israel gets 40% of their natural gas from Egypt. I’m suspect, somehow, the US is paying for it.

Walter Russell Mead headlines it this way:
At The NYT: Clueless Blue Deer Meet Onrushing Truck
Mead writes in his blog at the American Enterprise Institute:
Schadenfreude alert: readers, and especially those who don’t much like the New York Times, should make sure they are not eating soup or holding hot liquids before viewing the video below. Uncontrollable gales of laughter stemming from excessive levels of schadenfreude may cause spilling and staining.
…and these bluest of Blue State geniuses seem utterly oblivious to the history surrounding them. The avulsion of communication in free societies has yielded the power to the masses as they have lost their gatekeeper status. These reputedly intelligent elitists have somehow not noticed dramatic changes effecting everyone else’s lives but their own, as if they, and they alone, should be immune by special divine dispensation.
It’s an entitled blue deer, meet onrushing truck kind of moment. The Guild is talking about a strike, and an array of Times staffers, including some famous bylines that are well known in news circles, worry aloud that the new plan could make them eat cat food and sleep in boxes on the street in old age. (Or late middle age, anyway; not one staffer talks about working past 65.)
Nobody in the video talks about the changes in the news business that threatens to drive the Times into a deep dive. Nobody talks about the prospect of future significant staff cuts if costs can’t be contained. None of them discuss the incongruity between their own naive sense of entitlement and what is going on in the cities, companies and countries they cover.
They just want the money.

Good afternoon Hamsters. Another day worthy of the Snoopy Happy Dance began with 48 at 6 out here on the moores on the north bank of the Brazos at Richmond. Currently 80 with 23% humidity, windows open and house still very comfortable, dappled shade in the yards, and a gorgeous clear blue sky above. Thank you, Lord.
Two more flowerbeds to plant, and we’ve finished the yards. Ten flats of begonias are waiting for the landscape help early in the week. Then it’s a matter of keeping the digging nocturnal critters away so everything survives until late Fall. Last year that was not possible.
But then, last year a lot was not possible. Please keep the rain coming. -

I just got back from berry picking with my sister. It was good, bringing back memories of our childhood. We were joshing about the people driving by and had a serious talk about our parents, but in general, we were just hanging out and picking berries. It was just *good* to see her out and doing things again.

It was a busy but fun morning. Because of their highly developed appreciation for music, UU audiences are a tough crowd when it comes to applause. It only happens about a third of the time, and in my 5+ years singing there we’ve only received one standing-O. Both of our pieces earned it today at both services. A few folks mentioned that they got chills during the ff A Capella part. It’s late in the season, choir membership is up, we’ve found a good blend, and are doing more difficult tunes until the end of May when our summer break begins. I like it.
A minor emergency awaited me at home afterwords. Some say that duct tape is a fix for all problems, but when it comes to a 1/2″ hole in a sink drain pipe, it’s just not up to the task. Instead, I temporarily MacGyvered it with a carefully whittled champagne cork, left over from 8 days ago when Holly arrived. Naturally, I treated her to some plumber’s rear cleavage in the process.
Now that the plumbing is “fixed” a busy evening is ahead. We’re headed up to the Montrose to visit older daughter and get a nibble at Katz’s. Until then, be wary of atheists. I’m told that they all eat babies.

From the the watchdog site, humanewatch.org, is the following effective and well produced video.
The dog-watchers at the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) need their own watchdog too. HSUS now has an annual budget around the size of an NFL payroll. It has become too big and too unaccountable. Someone has to pay closer attention.
This blog is an attempt to make sense of what’s going on inside that sprawling organization.
Is the Humane Society of the United States all good? All bad? The truth probably lies somewhere in between. And there are many conflicting assessments of its performance.
The American Institute of Philanthropy gave HSUS a “C-minus” grade in December 2009, reflecting its high operational costs and inefficient fundraising. But the Charity Navigator service gives HSUS a four-star assessment. (Many commenters there seem to disagree with this score.) [update, April 1, 2010: Charity Navigator has downgraded HSUS.]
Worth magazine has called HSUS both one of the “worst-managed” U.S. charities, and one of America’s “most fiscally responsible.”

These reputedly intelligent elitists have somehow not noticed dramatic changes effecting everyone else’s lives but their own, as if they, and they alone, should be immune by special divine dispensation.
And yet somehow they noticed a $24M buyout package for Janet Robinson.
That’s one-half of the annual payment into the Guild’s entire pension fund. New York Times Company cleared $106M in operating profit in the last quarter of 2011. They have $525M in unfunded pension liabilities and a net debt of $493M.It’s a matter of choices, can management survive without the skills of the Guild? They will have to come to a conciliation. Perhaps demonizing their employees helps, I don’t see it.

All true, my friend, and a truly strange story it is. The prominent law firm hired by the Obama campaign pled for dismissal in a hearing the other day by admitting the online birth certificate posted by the White House was fake and therefore was irrelevant, or something like that. Sorry, I couldn’t finish reading the story from the federal courthouse in Newark because I was laughing too hard. This occurred at the peak of the Obama dog-eating festivities on the internet so I was already exhausted. The young female lawyer who came up with that zinger was yanked off the case and her boss, the senior partner and founder of the firm, stepped in and took over.

NJ doesn’t require a birth certificate, so her argument was that it didn’t matter if the certificate is real or not. There may have been something about Mickey Mouse could run in New Jersey.
The relevant part is the judge’s rulingBased upon the above I CONCLUDE that the petitioners have failed to meet their burden to establish that Barak Obama failed in any obligation to prove to the Secretary of State that he is qualified to hold the Presidency and that he is a “natural
born Citizen” of the United States of America, as required by the United States Constitution. The petitions challenging his petitions are DISMISSED. -

I don’t either. There are some excellent writers at the Times and I don’t like to see anybody get screwed in a contractual agreement, but I also don’t see how they could be so complacent and clueless in the current environment.
On top of that, they have sat back and watched Pinch Sulzberger run this company into the ground. The guy really is an idiot.
I have a friend who has been a machinist at the Times for 30 years and is trying to get an early buyout. He’s made some shrewd real estate investments and is very comfortable financially, but when you mention Janet Robinson’s name, he flips out.
He said he used to brag about working at the NYT and now he doesn’t even bother to tell people where he works or, if he does, he apologizes for it. He said the NYT has become a laughingstock on the streets of New York.

I thought it was a silly lawsuit, but when this young woman stood before a federal District Judge and said, “Hey, what the hell, your honor, the WH online certificate is fake anyway”, there was a stampede of reporters out of the courtroom to file stories.
It was indicative of what a clown show the whole birther thing is as well as the stupid way it has been handled by Obama. I really was laughing out loud. It was like a circus.

Heck, as an enhancer they can add comics.Hold the phone they added comics in June. As stupid as it sounds, it was the comics the influenced my decision to subscribe to the Chronicle over the Post when I first moved here. -

So now we have the name for what is wrong with Hamous:
Coulrophobia
By definition, an irrational fear of clowns is known as coulrophobia, with the prefix “coulro” coming from the ancient Greek word for “one who goes on stilts.” Symptoms of coulrophobia can include sweating, nausea, feelings of dread, fast heartbeat, crying or screaming, and anger at being placed in a situation where a clown is present.
According to Rami Nader, a psychologist and director of the North Shore Stress and Anxiety Clinic in North Vancouver, B.C., the psychological roots of the phobia may be traced to the fact that clowns are basically wearing disguises (albeit funny ones) while displaying artificial emotions (even silly ones) that perhaps hide their true feelings.
“You can’t really tell who they are,” he says. “You can’t really see their face. You don’t really know what that all means behind the mask.”
I think Hamous needs a clown intervention.
How do you treat a clown phobia?
The same way you treat any other phobia, says Nader, the psychologist
“What we need to do is gradually come into contact with that thing – whether it’s spiders or heights, whatever you’re afraid of – and learn to cope with the anxiety, learn to recognize that what you’re afraid of won’t actually harm you,” he says. “You won’t lose control, you won’t panic, you won’t embarrass yourself with other people.”

I think it was NJ. The incumbent Democrat senator running for re-election was caught in a scandal during the summer. He was going to lose and the filing deadline had long passed. The Democrat bought and paid for state supreme court allowed a replacement to run. I ought to remember the name but can’t.

NYT still has almost twice the circulation of their nearest competitors, assuming the ABC books are cooked the same for all Gotham rags, and a reasonable profit.
It doesn’t matter because this is what matters for the future.
The Daily Mail, an omniverous middle-market British tabloid, has quietly unseated the New York Times to become the newspaper with the biggest online reach in the world, according to figures from the online tracking service comScore.
The figures show Mail Online reached 45.3 million people last December, to the Times’s 44.8 million. Trailing them are USA Today at , the Tribune newspapers , and the Guardian. The growth, the editor and publisher of the Mail’s online properties, Martin Clarke, said, has been driven by U.S. traffic.
“We just do news that people want to read,” said Clarke. He cited the paper’s middle-class roots and its “Fleet Street heritage” as the source of its “entertaining, engaging way with clear, concise, straightforward copy and lots of good pictures.”
The Mail’s website looks and feels little like the Times’s, or like any other online properties. It’s dense and almost endlessly scrolling, and feels like several newspapers stacked on top of one another. It blends original reporting with sharp rewrite, celebrity gossip and hard news, citing but relatively rarely linking out to other publications.

I haven’t wasted my time in years on watching 60 Minutes. Tonight, Her Highness insisted I watch a segment on the persecution of Christians in the Holy Land.
Israel is forced to give up control of Christian holy sites it had secured, protected and preserved to the PLO. The Palestinians deface, desecrate and destroy the same sites. They threaten and harrass local Christian clergy and lay people while making access a life-threatening nightmare for tourists.
Shazaam ! But it’s the Jooz fault. Can you imagine ?
I really hate these bastards. I can’t wait until they are all as dead as Mike Wallace.

And to think, all he said about the Commander-and-Chief was:
“If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year,” he stated. “Our president and attorney general, our vice president, Hillary Clinton . . . they’re criminals. They’re criminals.
But I understand the Ft Knox is negotiating with the Dixie Chicks as a replacement act. 😉
Seriously, is anyone giving credence to the political rants of a man who wrote Wang Dang Sweet Poontang?

From TP’s link in #274:
“We found that clowns [were] universally disliked by children. Some found them quite frightening and unknowable.”
I hired a costumed Bunny for our HOA Easter egg hunt one year. Some of the littlest winners of the best-decorated-basket contest could not be persuaded to pose for pix with the big blue flop-eared critter. It was a fiasco. These same kiddos always did fine with a scary-looking Halloween character actor hired for the October event.

you know, i am not a big fan of beans in chili, but i have to admit that, on cattle drives, beans were almost certainly a part of chili. not only to stretch, because they were cheap and easy to store… so while i leave them out of mine, i think the “real” way to make it is with beans.Takes a danged old coonarse to straighten out you “Texans”. 😉
Once again history proves me right that Chili w/ beans is as natural as falling of the horse.

#274 texpat – I’m not afraid of clowns, I just hate them. They’re stupid and they’re not even funny. The only cure is to kill all clowns and that’s probably asking too much. I’ll give ’em this – they are pretty astute in picking up that I don’t want them around me. I can only remember once where I actually had to cock my arm back. Usually just a “I won’t mind punching you out” look is enough and they steer clear.

Holder and the DoJ is out of control. The executive branch continues its march towards socialism. Unemployment continues to be unacceptably high. The EPA is hellbent on bankrupting the coal and oil industries. The Senate hasn’t presented a budget in three years.

Where would you be hanging out that clowns (plural) might be sidling up, trying to get close to you? Maybe you just dreamed this.
They just seem to show up. One Sunday afternoon I was sitting in the front yard relaxing with two of my nephews. They were pretty young at the time but they already knew my hatred of clowns. A van drove by very slowly. They noticed first that there was a clown driving it. They started laughing, saying he was coming to get me. About five minutes later he comes back from the other direction, stops at our house, and starts walking up to us. They’re rolling on the ground laughing by this time. I walked inside so as not to create a scene. Turns out he was looking for a birthday party. I think its like cats always gravitate towards people who hate cats. I can’t explain it.
