Ever feel like you have too much to handle? I think I live in Overloadville. Perhaps the family is too large for the transport:
Or that Monday morning commute – it’s a killer!
But where there’s a will….
Sometimes you overload yourself by taking on tasks beyond your ken:
Frankly, I can’t wait for October 11, 2012.
Yep, it’s easy to Overload.
Dang, I have a really hard time holding myself still when I hear that song. It’s really dangerous when I’m driving and I that song plays. It’s got a great driving beat, good trumpets, and of course – good sax!
Y’all be careful out there. Mondays can be dangerous.

Too much to see and do on those paid trips to Israel
During a fact-finding congressional trip to the Holy Land last summer, Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-Kan.) took off his clothes and jumped into the sea, joining a number of members, their families and GOP staff during a night out in Israel, the sources told POLITICO. Other participants, including the daughter of another congressman, swam fully clothed while some lawmakers partially disrobed. More than 20 people took part in the late-night dip in the sea, according to sources who were participants in the trip.
But they had a really good excuse
Many of the lawmakers who ventured into the lake said they did so because of the religious significance of the waters.
I must not be religious enough, I’ve never been motivated to go skinny dipping or even sky clad. 😉
Oddly enouh, I think the real story here is the $600K that the American Israel Educational Foundation spent on the GOP trip is the real story. -
Never been skinny dipping? Now we know what’s wrong with you. I wouldn’t admit that even if it were true.

From my inbox:
To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine..
And those who don’t and are always seen with a bottle of water in their hand.As Ben Franklin said:
In wine there is wisdom,
In beer there is freedom,
In water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully
controlled trials,
Scientists
have demonstrated that
if we drink 1 litre of
water each day, at the end
of the year we would have absorbed more than
2 lbs of E. Coli bacteria
found in faeces.
In other words, we are consuming
2 lbs of poop.
However, We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer
(or tequila, rum, whiskey
or other liquor) because
alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling,
filtering and/or fermenting
Remember: Water = Poop,
Wine = Health
Therefore,
it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid,
Than to drink water and be full of schizzle..There is no need to thank me
for this valuable information:

“For the flak Mitt Romney gets over his political skills, it’s his party’s not-ready-for-primetime battleground Senate nominees that are running behind him. It’s awfully ironic that Republican strategists are (anonymously) carping about Romney’s pick of Paul Ryan potentially costing them control of the Senate when in reality, it’s the GOP’s own weak nominees.
Romney could conceivably win the battleground states of Missouri, Indiana, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan without the GOP winning any of those Senate seats. Josh Mandel (Ohio), Pete Hoekstra (Michigan) and Tom Smith (Pennsylvania) are consistently running well behind the presidential ticket. Akin will be in the same situation after the dust settles from this controversy. And Republican strategists are still nervous about Connie Mack’s campaign in Florida, knowing that a more-polished Senate nominee would probably be a favorite against Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.” -

#s 14 & 20 – There are many MANY GP (aka Grand Prix) racers that wouldn’t even consider taking on the Isle of Man circuit (rightfully so IMHO)
Think of the spectators (!!) if there’s the occasional mishap – certainly no protection at all and most of those folks are within 15 feet of the BLURS whizzing by!
Definitely a bucket list item for me to find a way to go watch this race – I’ll need to rob a couple or 3 banks to pull it off though 🙂 -
#15 Sarge: Kinda makes you wanna shake your head in disgust and spit, doesn’t it? I hope the dolt simply states that he misspoke. The first article I read was after googling Todd Akin and I came up with this HuffPo piece.
The following piece in the WaPo, mentions that there are a lot of pregnancies from rape:Akin later issued an apology, saying he “misspoke” when he made an “off-the-cuff” remark. Empirical evidence suggests that he is indeed wrong: Research published in the Journal of American Obstetrics and Gynecology suggests over 30,000 pregnancies result from rape annually. “Rape-related pregnancy occurs with significant frequency,” the trio of researchers from the University of South Carolina concluded. “It is a cause of many unwanted pregnancies.”
over 30,000 pregnancies are the result of rape every year?!? It is possible for a woman to conceive only 3-4 days out of the month, correct? So only 15% of the month (being somewhat generous) is pregnancy even possible under normal circumstances, with the intense stress and trauma resulting from rape lowering those numbers in the real world to more like <5%. The numbers indicate at least 600,000 rapes per year.
Seems to me like the more pressing problem is the fact that there are so many rapists out there. The rate of recidivism for sex crimes is over 90% (from the last study I read); this being the case, why are sex crime perps ever let out of jail? -
#21 TT:

American terrier mix – sounds (and looks) like pit bulls again.
I like dogs, and when I get to know them, I’m good with them. But since my neighbors pack of dogs chased me when I was young (I knew that at least one of them was a biter), I’m a little nervous around strange dogs, so they tend to react to me as well. I still like dogs, and I don’t normally have such visceral reactions to any breed, but pit bulls just really, really scare the heck out of me. I don’t even think they’re pretty, but I guess they’re meant to be scary. I know someone who has a pit, and I visited her at her home and had a great time with her dog. The dang mutt tried to sit in my lap, for goodness’ sakes, but my friend knew of my fear and made sure she introduced us properly. I played with Daisy and had fun with her, but dang if I’d be alone with her.
Dobermans are almost as bad. My MIL has had a string of Dobermans for years, and all but a few eventually turned on her. The first one, Thunder, ended up being so mean that they gave him to a junkyard owner, who still had a hard time keeping him under control. Of course, the current Dobie didn’t keep them from getting burglarized two weekends ago, but I strongly suspect it was a family member, too. -
This news is not good, nor is it surprising.
HEADLINE: Iran Will Have a Nuclear-bomb by October 1
At its present rate of enrichment, Iran will have 250 kilograms of 20-percent grade uranium, exactly enough to build its first nuclear bomb, in roughly six weeks, and two-to- four bombs by early 2013, debkafile’s military and intelligence sources report. Hence the leak by an unnamed Israeli security source Sunday, Aug. 12, disclosing Iran’s progress in developing the detonator and fuses for a nuclear warhead which can be fitted onto Shehab-3 ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel.
Since 20 percent refined uranium is a short jump to weapons grade fuel, Iran will have the capability and materials for building an operational nuclear bomb by approximately October 1.. . . . .and their eyes will rot in their sockets and the flesh will fall from their bones before their corpses hit the ground . . . .

#37 TT: Pit bull, types and breeds are notoriously dangerous. This is instinctual for the breed, they were bred to fight and kill other animals and sometimes people, THEY WERE NOT BRED TO BE PETS. If I am out and about and I see one on the loose acting even slightly aggressive towards me and I am even close to my car, that dawg is likely to be a goner.
I rescued a woman from a pit bull attack many years ago, fortunately I just happened to have a 24″ end wrench in the front seat of my vehicle, the dog left as I approached hollering so I did not have to bash his head. The woman got bit on the hand and bled for a while but was OK otherwise, as was her little dog.
Bottom line: I have zero tolerance for aggressive dogs and have no problem shooting one. -

We must get the Senate out of Reid’s hands to overturn ObamaCare. I don’t care if Florida elects Foghorn Leghorn.If the Party was a littel bit more “ept” I think that this year we should have been looking at the defference between having 64 Senators versus 63. As it is, yah, we’re going to have to elected the crappy ones, too.
Sometimes, I think they do this on purpose because they prefer the crappy ones. -
If we have 63 in the Senate, I may get drunk and go skinny dipping.

While I find it somewhat disconcerting that the US has used UAV airstrikes to whack many bad guys in some unsavory places, and that there really should be more oversight in how they are used, I find these calls for UN oversight to be particularly loathsome, given the continued actions of that august body of crooks, thugs, lowlifes, and goons.

The big picture. The UCMJ requires everyone participating to be clean shaven. No exceptions. By allowing the issue to be appealed to a civil court whose members are most likely not well versed in the UCMJ, and then having the UCMJ’s judge’s ruling overturned, they have just negated the entire military judicial system. Which of course was the purpose of the exercise to begin with – it has nothing to do with dunghead’s facial hair – it has to do with decommissioning the UCMJ and thus getting a trial in a civil court where the government may eventually have to reveal secrets – if not in this case, in the barbarians cases which follow. This is a test case for Zero’s henchmen to achieve their desired objectives of breaking down the military; while at the same time allowing for his fellow followers of the Religion of Peace to gut the judicial system as their trials may come up.
The first time they (we, the USA) made a single move to accommodate those barbaric religious demands it was over. -
#64 EG: Wadya wanna bet there was extreme pressure from the WH on the Generals to let this appeal go forth? The Chicago way, ‘let the appeal go civilian or we will find someone who will and you will be dishonorably discharged’. The threat of a dishonorable discharge for a career honorably served is the equivalent of going nukular. The generals who passed the order down the chain need to go as they can not be trusted.
I do not have hard core facts for the above, however, it fits the pattern. -
The big picture. The UCMJ requires everyone participating to be clean shaven. No exceptions.
You’re right about civilians not being familiar with UCMJ and beards.
However;
There are exceptions. Sikhs are currently authorized to wear beards if they are in a non-combat MOS, and many service members who have a genetic pre-disposition to ingronw facial hair, especially black men, are medically excused.
His lawyer is doing his job, and it has nothing to do with getting this into a civil court, which will never happen. His lwayer is trying to keep his client alive as long as possible.
FWIW, few people in the military have any problem with facial hair or hair length excpetions for religious purposes. The chief reason facial hair is not allowed is that it prevents an air tight seal when wearing the gas mask. Long hair poses a danger around equipment. -

Funny that the Air Force can properly handle the mess at Lackland in San Antonio with dispatch.The military brass has no real control over his military lawyer—which is as it should be. His lawyer is free to make as many motions as he desires, and the UCMJ is bound to follow the law in every case—just as the civil courts are.
If you want to be mad at somebody, direct it at his lawyer—but he’s doing the same kind of job Ted Cruz was doing for that Chinese company and the guy who owned the kids rehab camp. -

The Army brass are responsible for for the politically correct miasma that let Major Nadal Hassan continue in the service and be promoted when it was known by colleagues what his philosophy and calling card was. And they let it pass.That I will grant you, but only to a point. There’s been a problem with retaining service members with Medical MOS from at least the 1950s. The difference between the wage they can earn in the military versus the private sector is enormous. This tends to make a number of them do things with a view towards getting kicked out because of the big payday if they are. It also means that doctors and other medical technicians get promoted more rapidly with less military qualifications than those in combat arms. I beleive that his supervisors may have thought he was “faking” in order to get separated so he could go into private practice and dismissed it as such without considering the other ramifications.

Believe me—I would love to lay this completely ar Barry’s door, but that won’t get the reform the military needs. Like the disaster that the VA currently is, I don’t want people to think the problem is solved with a new Adminstration.

They let it pass because they were afraid to be branded an islimophobe. The simple fact that 95% + of all the terrorists acts are committed by islimists in the name of their moon god does not seem to enter into the equation.

-
Let me clearer:
If Hassan had been in a tank platoon or an infantry company, he’d have been caught and tossed out—at the very least. But as Medical personnell he was held to a lower standard and in a position where it is routine for members to do things to get tossed out of the military so they can go into private practice or go to work for a big hospital.
Things have probably tightened up in all MOS now. -

From Steven Hayward at Powerline:Well, now that’s us. With an average pre-recession TFR of 2.1 (which is replacement level) growth in overall U.S. population was coming almost entirely from immigration—legal and illegal. If immigration slows down, as much evidence suggests it has, and TFR continues at a France-like level, then we face the prospect of a shrinking U.S. population in the near future. And if you think our social insurance programs (Social Security, Medicare, etc) are in bad shape now, just wait. A shrinking population might be even worse for the economy than a second term of Barack Obama, as Philip Auerswald argues in his splendid article “The Population Boon” in the May/June issue of The American Interest.
One of the reasons I have always supported a robust (yet totally overhauled) immigration system is the USA would not produce enough new babies to keep our population from shrinking. We need new citizens, natural born and naturalized, or we are in for serious decline in the future.
I expected the TFR would go down in the recession, but not by this much. -
Just a reminder that Akin’s opponent in the Republican primary was the true Tea Party favorite, Sarah Steelman, the only candidate backed by Sarah Palin to not get the nod.
Palin made Steelman her fifth Senate endorsement of 2012 and, before Tuesday, she was four-for-four. The former Alaska governor and vice presidential nominee, who campaigned hard for Steelman, cutting TV and radio ads and appearing at campaign events, added more glitz to a race that always had big national implications. Republicans need to net four seats to take back the Senate in November and the GOP says McCaskill is one of their top targets.
The Party is likely to go with the other candidate in that race, John Brunner. They would be better advised to follow Palin’s advice.
And how did Akin do it?
Well——-Here’s how the Democrats did it, running ads in the GOP primary that were intended to boost his appeal among the most conservative primary voters:
The latest example is a new radio ad paid for by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee that attacks Rep. Todd Akin (R), but does so slyly, in a manner that appears to be designed to endear him to conservative voters.
“Todd Akin calls himself the true conservative, but is he too conservative?” asks the narrator of the ad, which is approved by McCaskill’s campaign and paid for by the DSCC. The narrator goes on to note the negative posture Akin has taken toward President Obama, before concluding, “it’s no surprise Todd has been endorsed by the most conservative leaders in our country – Michele Bachmann and Mike Huckabee.”
Bachmann and Huckabee are popular among conservative voters and are from states in the same geographic region as Missouri. If anything, many undecided conservative primary voters who hear their names in the radio ad would be tempted to give him a closer look. -

Let me give some addtional info in the Hassan ase that might set some hearts to rest.
If can be proven, or credibly alleged, that any ommander anywhere in the chain of ommander of any of the units involved, including —and especially JAG then an mistrail or even a dismissal would be the result. What JAG s doing with this ase is being scrupulous about dotting every I and crossing every T, even bending over backwards to insure that every right available to Hassan through the UCMJ and Federal Law is afforded to him.
That will insure swift application of the death penalty when he is convicted. Nobody, even his lawyer, doubts that he is guilty. I would rather see him show up in court with his beard wearing a wife beater, jeans and sandals and have the trial drag on for another year or two than have any chance—even a small one, that he wll escape the penalty he so justly deserves. -

The full distance to Key West, Florida, is 103 miles, a trip that had been expected to take Nyad 60 hours if the 62-year-old is successful in her attempt — her fourth.
As of Monday evening she has been swimming 50 hours, the longest time invested in any of the four attempts. She lost six hours to the storm, according to her Twitter feed. -

What to do, what to do ………………
Family Research Council says it’s a smear campaignTwo top officials from the Family Research Council said the Missouri congressman is the target of a Democratic smear campaign and chided those Republicans who have condemned Akin.
Connie Mackey, who heads the group’s political action committee, said the group “strongly supports” Todd Akin.
….
“Todd Akin is getting a really bad break here,” she added. “I don’t know anything about the science or the legal implications of his statement. I do know politics, and I know gotcha politics when I see it.”
….
Mackey said that Republicans calling on Akin to apologize or drop out should get “backbone.”Cornyn wants him under the bus
In the clearest sign yet that pressure is being exerted on Akin to leave the race, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn (Texas) issued a statement saying the Congressman has 24 hours to make a decision on what’s “best for him, his family, the Republican Party, and the values that he cares about” and to “carefully consider” his options. A GOP source also confirmed that the NRSC is prepared to pull its $5 million ad reservation if Akin does not drop out of the contest.
