Fire Kills 1, Badly Burns Another In Extreme Hoarding Intervention Gone Awry.
MY Sister and her son have an Antique Business and also conduct estate sales, she has seen more than one of these. She’s been to houses where there was a small trail through the junk from the door, kitchen, bathroom, etc. One guy out in the country filled up his houes and barn and then built several sheds, then bought used shipping containers. The sad thing is that he had a lot of good collectables that they threw away because it wasn’t stored in a climate controlled area. I took three industrial dumpsters (40’ers) to haul away the junk. -
The totalitarian impulse today is embedded in the very logic of liberalism, which seeks to expand its dominion into every aspect of life and against every competitor to its demand for the exclusive allegiance of individuals. -Patrick J. Deneen

One of the worst habits of internet site operators.
It drives me crazy.
Farhad Manjoo, the tech columnist at Slate writes:Pagination is one of the worst design and usability sins on the Web, the kind of obvious no-no that should have gone out with blinky text, dancing cat animations, and autoplaying music. It shows constant, quiet contempt for people who should be any news site’s highest priority—folks who want to read articles all the way to the end.
Pagination persists because splitting a single-page article into two pages can, in theory, yield twice as many opportunities to display ads—though in practice it doesn’t because lots of readers never bother to click past the first page. The practice has become so ubiquitous that it’s numbed many publications and readers into thinking that multipage design is how the Web has always been, and how it should be. -
Newspapers have been doing the same thing for hundreds of years.

I just wish somehow we could do away with the ads when you open a page, it’s everywhere now.

Y’all may have heard about the Obama/Labor Union ad where RMoney’s garbage man laments that RMoney doesn’t care about him:
“My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney’s trash. We’re kind of like the invisible people. He doesn’t realize that the service we provide — if it wasn’t for us, it would be a big health issue, us not picking up trash.
“Residents do come out and shake our hands. Sometimes they give us hugs and thank us for the job we’re doing, hand us water and Gatorades. Tell us we’re doing a good job and keep up the good work. Picking up 15, 16 tons by hand, that takes a toll on your body. When I’m 55, 60 years old, I know my body’s gonna be break down [sic]. Mitt Romney doesn’t care about that.”Powerful stuff. Just one little problem. While our HNP/LLMD was writing about stoking one up with the choom gang, Mitt Romney was writing about … yup … being a garbage man:
“During my campaign for governor, I decided to spend a day every few weeks doing the jobs of other people in Massachusetts. Among other jobs, I cooked sausages at Fenway Park, worked on asphalt paving crew, stacked bales of hay on a farm, volunteered in an emergency room, served food at a nursing home, and worked as a child-care assistant. I’m often asked which was the hardest job – it’s child care, by a mile.”
“One day I gathered trash as a garbage collector. I stood on that little platform at the back of the truck, holding on as the driver navigated his way through the narrow streets of Boston. As we pulled up to traffic lights, I noticed that the shoppers and businesspeople who were standing only a few feet from me didn’t even see me. It was as if I was invisible. Perhaps it was because a lot of us don’t think garbage men are worthy of notice; I disagree – anyone who works that hard deserves our respect. – I wasn’t a particularly good garbage collector: at one point, after filling the trough at the back of the truck, I pulled the wrong hydraulic lever. Instead of pushing the load into the truck, I dumped it onto the street. Maybe the suits didn’t notice me, but the guys at the construction site sure did…” -

Re: hoarding
Having been in the apartment business, and knowing friends in the biz, hoarders provide many a story during social get togethers. We had a friend who had a hoarder of magazines and newspapers. I suppose he collected wine bottles, also. From what I heard, the paper was piled over head high in the apartment, with a trail from the front door to the various rooms. In the kitchen, you could tell where he sat on the edge of the chair, because that was the part that wasn’t dusty. Wine bottles were lined up along the floorboard, around the edge of the counters, and down the other side. He was a strange duck, not very social, and liked to lay on the flat roof of the carport by himself, looking at the night sky.
We ourselves had a disabled military vet in one of our units. He paid his rent on time, caused no trouble, and got along well with the neighbors. It wasn’t until he died in the unit that we discovered he had hundreds of two liter soda bottles – filled with urine.
Strange, strange people out there. -

Well, I could breathe last night, but couldn’t sleep. It seems that allergy medications have that effect on me.
I watched the clock hit 12:00 a.m. I had just gone to bed.
I watched the clock hit 1:00 a.m. I have insomnia, so wasn’t surprised.
I watched the clock hit 2:00 a.m. Began to worry, tried not to think about it.
I watched the clock hit 3:00 a.m. I began to totally despair of sleep.
I watched the clock hit 4:00 a.m. Yep, I was totally screwed.
I watched the clock hit 5:00 a.m. Hubby got up to take his shower. I didn’t cry.
I watched the clock hit 6:00 a.m. I just laid there with my eyes closed.
I watched the clock hit 7:00 a.m. Sun coming in the window, I heard Handsome and Hubby talking. They went to work. I laid there, trying to rest.
I watched the clock hit 8:00 a.m. At 8:15, I finally got out of bed. Sneezed my fool head off.
I have a class to teach tonight. They’d better behave. By this evening, I could be the Zombie Witch of Nightmare City. -
It wasn’t until he died in the unit that we discovered he had hundreds of two liter soda bottles – filled with urine.
Hopefully they were all tightly capped.
I believe it was the ancient Romans, before the fall of their empire, that they uses urine as a cleaning fluid and there was a value placed on it. In other areas of the world, urine was collected and only the really poor were tasked with the collection process as others could find better uses for their time. The poorest of the poor did not have a vessel in which to collect the urine, hence the expression “so poor he didn’t have a pot to _iss in” -
Speaking of which, I need to go do my morning meds and stuff. And eat.

Thank the Lord, yes, they were. We guessed he had a hard time using the toilet, since he was in a scooter and the unit wasn’t ADA compliant.

hoarders provide many a story during social get togethers.
Wife Dee had an uncle that died some 20 or 30 years ago. He was the banker in Cotulla and had a beautiful brick home befitting a banker’s status. He had been a widower for several years before his death. The house was immaculate. When the family got together to go through his personal effects, everything was pretty much as expected until we found the key for about a 20 X 20 shed in the back yard. We were expecting tools and that type of stuff but instead found rows of shelves with thousands of empty boxes stored within each other.
You just never know. -
Good morning Hamsters. Gorgeous 56 at 6:30, ground mist softly blankets the pastures, clouds to the east herald Dawn’s rosy fingers. A perfect start to a wonderful day to be enjoyed. Windows open, Claritin on standby, much too beautiful to keep the house closed. Acorn symphony tunes up for today’s concert after a reasonably quiet night–blessedly.
Did not watch the Cruz – Sadler debate, watched NCIS instead. Glad I did. Mr. Sadler did not cover himself in glory with his Chris Matthews on more steroids persona. Saw a sample of that on the Channel 11 news at 10 and think it was quite a frenetic demonstration, left me wondering if the entire hour was like that. -

Were they all cardboard? If yes, I wonder how he kept the termites out of the shed. All those boxes stored within each other demonstrates an organized mind although more than just a touch on the obsessive compulsive obsessive.
That really is an interesting and for the most part, completely harmless behavior.
We humanzes are strange critters. -
WB, yes I know that Johnson doesn’t stand a chance, but to me voting for the winning team is not important. Also, I’m so unimpressed with the duplicitous pandering-to-all-sides social conservative republican/corporatist nominee, I’d vote for your testicle if it was on the ballot. Maybe it should start its political career in a smaller forum, like the Texas lege. It’s already full of nuts.
Don’t worry, Katfish. In Texas, a vote for Johnson will not harm your man. The state is so indelibly red he isn’t even spending any time or money here. -
Aha, it is the season’s fashionable ailment, and OTL and TT are in at the beginning.
-
Were they all cardboard?
No, they were wood, metal, cardboard, cigar boxes, orange crates, et al. The shed had a concrete floor and everything was up on the shelves.

The Obama campaign has heavily targeted its ads on daytime shows that attract a large audience of downscale women, including programs like Judge Judy and Dr. Phil, and networks like Lifetime, Bravo, and the Hallmark Channel. “It is just sheer tonnage and carpet bombing,” said the GOP strategist.

I kinda get a kick when bobby starts ranting about “right-wing authoritarian nutjobs” who apparently have nothing better to do with their time than cook up new and innovative ways to oppress people. Especially when the “oppression” means disagreeing with his beliefs that drugs should be readily available to whomever wants them, queers should be able to “marry” one another, and anyone should be able to kill off a baby so long as at least part of it is still inside the mother.
Yet I never hear him have the same degree of angst when those on the left say quite clearly what they would like to do or what they have no real problem with. Namely that the biggest problem the Soviets had wasn’t that their system was inherently evil, but that it didn’t go far enough and that the tens/hundreds of millions of its victims (victims in the final sense – as in dead; not in the abstract – as in “living under it”).
I personally believe that thinking the queers should only be able to marry a member of the opposite sex is somewhat milder than gunning them down in a forest or starving them to death, but I suppose I’m an unenlightened simpleton.
We see this thought pattern continuing. Hammy’s favorite “economist” wrote in a column on September 14, 2001:It seems almost in bad taste to talk about dollars and cents after an act of mass murder. Nonetheless, we must ask about the economic aftershocks from Tuesday’s horror. These aftershocks need not be major. Ghastly as it may seem to say this, the terror attack — like the original day of infamy, which brought an end to the Great Depression — could even do some economic good.
He has also stated a disbelief in the “Broken Window Fallacy“.
The radical environmentalists are another special breed of lefties bobby has never expressed a problem with, even though they go around destroying private (and public) property and have declared the belief that the Earth is overpopulated and that some large fraction of its human inhabitants should be disposed of. For such true believers, you’d think they’d be the first in line to volunteer for such a noble cause.
Meanwhile, I need to go find someone to oppress. I’m below quota today. -

I figgered it was ragweed. And Mirkwood is covered in it, especially the giant variety.
As for war – bring it on! That’s one reason I’m trying to eliminate my Mountain of Misery in the backyard. Then we can mow it and reduce the amount of noxious weeds in the vicinity. That, and I just want my yard back.
I felt the need to sweat and get moving around last night, and since I had recovered some of my breathing ability, I went out and moved dirt for a while. Wissed off some ants. Took off a “point” on the dirt and made it possible for Handsome to mow around a pipe sticking out of the ground (long story). I moved the pile of leftover pipe and concrete chunks, but heavy waste didn’t pick them up yesterday, so I’ve gotta go haul ’em out of the ditch again.
Took one of those hot, steamy showers my doctor prescribed for me.

More Dodd-Frank insanity….
Stupid regulation of the day — the SEC has a new rule that companies will have to disclose whether “conflict minerals” — tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold mined from Congo, Central African Republic, Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, Angola or Zambia — are anywhere in their supply chain.
So if you make microchips — or if you make anything with microchips in it — you have to chase down whether the tin in the solder you’re using came from Zambia, and document the chain of custody of the tin ore from the earth to your product, file a Conflict Mineral Report with the SEC and get that report audited. You’re supposed to nail it down right to the specific mine. -Matt Bramanti -

#58 Shannon: Chris “the waitress sandwich maker” Dodd is out of the Senate now, correct? When is Bend-Over Barney gonna retire? Do we have to wait for long before that insanity gets corrected? This is one of those things that could be corrected if we can get RMoney as POTUS, increase the lead in the House, and takeover the Senate. Harry “Do Nothing” Reid must not be allowed anywhere near the levers of control in the Senate. Harry Reid being in control of the Senate makes as much sense as giving car keys and whiskey to teenage boys.

I agree that those regs are extreme. IT manufacturers spent a ton of money over the last several years complying with RoHS.
-
#58, 63: These kinds of regs are good for making LibTerdNozzlePukeBags feel good about themselves and in the eyes of eco-nazi zealots. In the real world, the only things they accomplish are:
1) making the price higher for the things we would like to have
2) Give the feds/politicians ever greater access to dictate that which they want (hint: campaign contributions and patronage).
3) It requires companies to add staff to keep up with the paper trail, these are not productive employees and are essentially the equivalent of featherbedding.
4) In my view it is the equivalent of extortion as the feds can bury you in paperwork demands and prevent you from actually producing your product. Further, they can always declare one aspect of your paper trail invalid (as they did to Gibson Guitars) and seize your products. The potential for political enforcement (demo-nazi) approaches certainty. -
Obama Hates The Middle Class and Poor
But so far, none of that has happened during Obama’s recovery, which started in June 2009 and has produced historically low rates of economic growth.
Instead, only the wealthiest households have managed to eke out income gains, while every other income group has fallen further behind in each of the past three years.
These results are highly unusual in an economic recovery, which typically produces income gains across the board. During the eight-year Reagan boom, for example, incomes at the bottom climbed 14%, while those in the middle climbed 13%, and those at the top 22%.
What’s more, despite Obama’s promise that he would reduce income inequality, it’s increased each year he’s been in office, reaching an all-time high after remaining flat during the Bush years.
University of California, Berkeley, economist Emmanuel Saez found that the top 1% captured 93% of the income gains between 2009 and 2010, which is a far higher share than occurred during the 2002-07 Bush expansion. -

#68 Shannon: That is the other aspect of the featherbedding, the one I had in mind was on the business/money generating end. The gov’t monitors required are far worse in cost and deed. One can bet that the evaluation of the gov’t monitor is gonna be based on how much malfeasance they “find” which will, of course, make them prime targets for bribery. The bribery would be both to not enforce on company X but also to falsely enforce on company Y.

An elderly widower died in my neighborhood and I heard via a friend who helped his family clean out the house to put it on the market that he stockpiled some odd items. I won’t say hoarded because the house was not full of these things. There were plastic shoeboxes filled with items like bread tie wraps, bread tie clips, those big broccoli rubber bands, jar lids, etc. Not a few of these items, but thousands.

When I went to college, it was on a full ride scholarship. My scholarship was administered by a man I’ll call “Mr. West”.
Pre-Hubby and I were in Houston, visiting family, and were on our way to friend’s house on S. Shepherd, on the edge of River Oaks. We were going to feed their dog before heading out for the night. For those of you unfamiliar with S. Shepherd, there’s a curve south of I-10 that makes backing out of our friend’s driveway rather perilous. (We were rear ended once by an illegal Mexican driving like a bat out of Hell that had no insurance and never showed for court, the bat rastard.) As we were crossing the street, I pointed out a station wagon.
“That car sounds really sick,” I said. “Not our problem,” pre-Hubby said as he made his way across the four lanes on the curve and pulled into the driveway.
The owners of the home were very dear friends of pre-Hubby’s. The man taught Steve his trade, and the woman was a dear, fluttery, sweet lady, who never had a bad word to say about anyone. She worked for Delta her whole job career, and traveled all over the world. She dragged large pieces of the world back with her, and added items accumulated from the local area as well. Her house was, literally, stacked floor to ceiling in almost every room. You name it, it was buried in there somewhere. There was a path from the front door to the back living room wall, from which you followed a left turn to the stairs. The stairs were (usually) clear of debris, and there were two bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. Once we stayed in the second bedroom, other times it was just as packed as the rest of the house. The dining room, the kitchen, every room downstairs was unusable.
As we made our way out of the house, we noticed the station wagon, now in the right hand lane of the blind section of the curve, and two men were pushing it as two elegantly clad ladies waited on the sidewalk. Pre-hubby and I looked at each other askance, and we hurriedly walked over to them.
“Um, you need to get on the sidewalk,” Pre-hubby called out.
“What?” one man asked.
“You need to get on the sidewalk NOW!” Pre-hubby repeated.
“NOW!” I added.
The two men joined us and asked why. Just about that time, a car came flying around the curve, barely missing their car. The horn was blaring and fingers were flying.
“That’s why,” we said. If they’d still be pushing, they could have been cut in two if they’d been hit.
We began talking about what to do. We said we could call a tow truck for them. During the conversation, we realized that one of the men was Mr. West, who held control of my college future in his hands. Small world, drat it! As Pre-hubby and I walked back to our friend’s house a few houses away, we realized that Mr. and Mrs. West were following us. Not daring to tell them not to come with us, Pre-hubby and I held a quick, whispered conversation:
“What do we do? She’ll KILL us if she finds out we let strangers in her house!”
“We can’t tell them to go away!”
Finally, Pre-hubby turned around and said, “Just so you know, we don’t live here. This house belongs to friends of ours.” “Okay,” the Wests replied, and we entered the home and began traversing the pathway to the phone upstairs. I could hear Mrs. West behind us: “Oh, this is so interesting! Oh, she has some interesting things! I’d love to meet this woman!”
Pre-hubby and I looked at each other, knowing these two women would never meet, not in this lifetime, if we could help it. By the time we made the call and got back to their car, the River Oaks police had put a cruiser with lights flashing behind their vehicle to protect it. We stayed and talked a few more minutes, and then we left.
I managed to keep my scholarship and my friend, thank goodness. -
The thing about tin, copper, etc. that the idiot bureaucrats don’t seem to get is that they are all very fungible – one copper atom is pretty much indistinguishable from all the other ones. So what happens is that the US ends up buying its tin (for example) from Chile and some other country buys its from Zambia. The overall world supply & demand balance of tin is unchanged.
I can see not doing business with those countries/regimes directly or a couple of steps removed, but it really gets pointless after a very short time. -

I’m on the fence about watching the debate tonight. At first I thought it would be fun to turn it in to a drinking game. Every time Romney launches a “zinger” players have to slam a shot. But I don’t think I can afford that much booze, and I’m sure I don’t have enough in my stash to substitute cannabis for it.
…a Romney aide told The New York Times that the candidate was busy preparing “zingers” for his debate against President Obama. Since then, the anticipation (and, yes, the mockery) has gone into overdrive.
“Zingers. Because Americans need to know that their leader has a well-honed sense of zing,” deadpanned Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night’s “Colbert Report.” “On Day 1, our new president must be able to face Iran’s leader – and ask him if the place where he bought that shirt also has a men’s department.”
In The Washington Post, columnist Alexandra Petri asked: “Does anyone else have this vivid image of Mitt Romney in a bunker carefully committing schoolyard taunts to memory?”Yes Ms. (awesomely hot) Petri, we can. I can also picture him hiring Sarah Palin as his debate coach.

As mentioned before, I should send you the last MRI report.
My pain management has been pretty successful for the last two years with exercise, weight loss and meds. I have so far avoided steroid injections but have over the years used them orally (3-4 times a year) during acute events. I am acutely aware of the accumulated long term affects of steroid use and make every effort to avoid them. That said, my condition predictably and relentlessly gets worse year by year. I figure I could now qualify as 65-70% disabled.
It would take a world of persuasion for me to accede to almost any type of spinal manipulation because I believe it could dangerously impact certain conditions along my spine. -
Just so you know, I also work on the elderly. When I am working on a “fragile case” I almost never put them in any position other than on the side to minimize discomfort, claustrophobia from having the face in the cradle, not to mention clogged sinuses. I use the same positioning when working on pregnant wimminses. Keeping your weight at a healthy minumum and gentle exercises like swimming, are all very good things to do for a maintenance regimen. Do you have spondolothesis or narrowing of the spinal cord canal?

I swear I don’t know why this idiot became president, much less is still competitive in the race. I’m sure y’all have heard the 2007 speech where the LLMD went “ethnic” and started whining about Katrina and how the US was still racist. Specifically, he called out the Stafford Act, which calls for local governments to contribute $1 for every $10 federal. Turns out Congress waived the Stafford Act for NOLA two weeks before that speech. Guess who voted against the legislation waiving the Act for NOLA.
-
#94………………………ummmmmmmmmmmm Reverend Wright??
ROFL -
#91 “Zinger” did not originate any any satire, Comedy Central or otherwise. It dripped directly from the lips of one of the Romulan mouthpieces. Of course, the definition of “zinger” may vary. I’m hoping he’ll offer the Kenyan socialist Muslim president a $10,000 bet on something, just so Pastor/governor Hairy won’t feel lonely. Or reach out to Glenn Beck, Donald Trump, and Bonecrusher by announcing that Orally Taitz will be his attorney general.

I’m sure y’all have heard the 2007 speech where the LLMD went “ethnic” and started whining about Katrina and how the US was still racist. Specifically, he called out the Stafford Act, which calls for local governments to contribute $1 for every $10 federal. Turns out Congress waived the Stafford Act for NOLA two weeks before that speech. Guess who voted against the legislation waiving the Act for NOLA.“I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” Obama says in the video, shot on Jan. 21, 2002 at the University of Chicago, “but rich people are all for nonviolence. Why wouldn’t they be? They’ve got what they want. They want to make sure folks don’t take their stuff.”

I always arrive just in time to do a setup…

Speaking of blasts from the past.
Remember what those wacky prognosticators over at Focus on Family said would happen if Senator Obama was elected?Since 2009, terrorist bombs have exploded in two large and two small U.S. cities, killing hundreds, and the entire country is fearful, for no place seems safe.
Then in the next three years, Russia occupied additional countries that had been previous Soviet satellite nations, including Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria, with no In mid-2010, Iran launched a nuclear bomb that exploded in the middle of Tel Aviv, destroying much of that city.military response from the U.S. or the U.N.
The new Congress under President Obama passed a nationalized “single provider” health care system, in which the U.S. government is the provider of all health care in the United States, following the pattern of nationalized medicine in the United Kingdom and Canada.
Gas costs more than $7 per gallon, and many Democrats openly applaud this,
In his first week in office, Obama followed President Clinton’s precedent and fired all 93 U.S. attorneys, replacing them with his own appointments, including the most active members of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The Justice Department soon began to file criminal and civil charges against nearly every Bush administration official who had any involvement with the Iraq warThere’s more “predictions” but you get the idea. There are some born every minute, but why are they drawn to the loony toon organizations?

LLMD ???
-
Digging really deep aren’t you?
WorldNutDaily? -
Meanwhile, things are getting realer in the Middle East.
n.b. – Turkey is a member of NATO… -
It was posted at LST, not surprisingly FoF doesn’t have it available. Wing Nut Daily keeps near everything.
It’s a shame that Turkey doesn’t desire any of Sria, now’s the time to snatch some property. -
#97 Bonecrusher, there is no need to become violent. I promise not to respond in kind unless you forget to bring me a beer with that grilled cheese sammich, cook it in a microwave, and/or put nutmeg on it.

Speaking of alternate uses for hoohae ……………………….
When police showed up and removed Bellamy from the car, they noticed she was “walking funny,” as if she was carrying something between her legs, Chitwood said.
….
Gibson said that the drugs were his and that he had asked his girlfriend to conceal them when cops arrived, police said.
“It’s true love in the ‘hood,” Chitwood said. “Thank God the lady didn’t have a snake or a crocodile, or we’d really have been in trouble.”
Bellamy and Gibson, both of Philadelphia, were charged with possession with the intent to deliver and related offenses. Although police did recover the drugs, they never recovered the gun. Chitwood declined to speculate on where it might be hiding. -
Have you ever herd a more moooooving story?
Swiss dairy cows may now be able to tell farmers that they are in heat using text message technology. Sensors implanted in the cows are reportedly able to detect the shift using electronic heat detectors, according to The New York Times.
And when not texting, they’re supplying political punditry during debates

LLMD
Long-Legged Mack Daddy 😉
-
Good one!
You know your lingo! -
Texas has given in after attempting to strike 3600 live citizens from the voter rolls. And that’s not counting those on military service or at school and not answering their mail.
What a world, what a world ………………………No Texans will be stricken from voter rolls simply for failing to respond to a notice that they may be dead under a court agreement announced Wednesday by lawyers who sued the state over the so-called purge.
The lawyers, Buck Wood and David Richards, said the state agreed that no voter will be removed from the rolls without information confirming the person is actually deceased. -
Doesn’t look like we’ll make 300.
So, here’s Emmylou Harris and Elvis Costello singing a fine old Everly Brothers song. -
Watching the debates,….I KNOW, stop rolling your eyes, but it is MY JOB, I do this for my Kids/Grandkids. Oh and the Grandkids aren’t here yet, but they are already saddled with massive debt. 🙁
-
Obama is filibustering, not answering the question.
-
Romeny talking, Obama GLARING!
-
300 what? 🙂
Exit stage right to watch the debate. -
Obama, plays the “Class Warfare” card, DAYAAM 15 minutes into the debate.
-
300 comments.
-
300 what?
Chicken Gizzards, of course. 😀
-
MOM Romney is CHEATING!!! He’s using FACTS!
-
Obamaramadingdong is clearly getting rattled and testy, and he’s babbling. 🙂
Go Mitt! -
Adee, as my daddy would say “he’s playing his record”.
For you folks in Rio Linda, I mean a 45 or 33 RPM LP. -
29 minutes in and he blames BUSH!! You can’t make this CRAP UP!!!!
-
Barry claimed he lowered taxes on small business eighteen times!
-
Dang, Dammit, I forgot my Bingo card!! Do any of you remember where it is?
-
“Thanks for the help, Jim.”
-
I found it; Obama Bingo Card
I already have 8 squares 😉 -
Now Jim Lehrer is pretty much coaching Obama who is still babbling. Oy vey!
-
“Sheet, I miss that teleprompter.”
-
Go Rmoney! Taunting LLMD with Solyndra!
-
Romney comparing 90 billion in money to Failed Green Energy to 2 billion tax breaks to the oil companies. 😉
-
Much too wonky.
A great deal of this policy sausage making will fly right over most people’s heads.
Romney needs to make more points on simple, larger principles that translate into things everyone grasps. -
Moderator Lehrer has that deer in the headlights look, and he’s losing control of the debate. Go Mitt!
Obama’s exasperation level is rising. -
“Y’all don’t mind if I pull my dead granny back from under the bus, where I threw her four years ago, do ya?”
-
I’m trying to look at this as an undecided voter or squishy Obama supporter would do.
Who is more convincing ? Who is more appealing ? -
MOO-OOM Romney is using facts AGAIN!! NOT FAIR!!!! 😀
-
Who’s losing his cool? Good question as well.
-
god never loses his cool.
-
#134 Texpat, I’m thinking more about the true independents and the
old fashionedReagan Democrats and I’d say Romney is doing pretty good. -
I think Barry has caught the blinky-disease from Blinky Pelousey.
-
Where’s Obumma Sheist SuperFarce’s phony southern black preacher voice?
-
#139 Shannon, I heard someone on the radio say that a head shrink had said that the winner of the debate would be the one that blinked the least! 😀
-
Will health plans really say that insurance companies “can’t jerk you around?”
-
Someone cue up The Happy Wanderer, in honor of Barry.
-
Would someone please check and see if Barry has been in Rick Perry’s stash.
-
I haven’t seen Jim Lehrer for decades; I’m thinking he has aged into an old woman, not an old man.
-
Sorry Hamsters, I gotta stop watching. Of the wonderful pieces of cheesecake I brought home for our desserts tonight, mine actually is the one that can’t take it any more and is beginning to complain about its current location. So to make us both happy I gotta sign off the TV for now. Be back later. 🙂
-
OK, I have a prediction; Snottaluffagus will declare Obama the winner. 😉
-
Obama sure is scowling and frowning a lot when Mitt speaks.
Looks bad.
At least Romney keeps smiling. -
TOTUS has apparently misplaced his TOTUS! I lovvvvvvvvvvvvit!!!
PorkyPig don’t stutter as much! -
This Barry guy just talked for two minutes and never presented a coherent thought.
-
SPANKIM Mittster!!
-
I’m back from teaching class. I’ll have to review the first part of the debate on video later. My usual helpers didn’t show up – the couple had a daughter come home from the hospital yesterday.
You’re all right. TBO looks angry and blinky. His godhood is being challenged, and he doesn’t like it. -
OMG this is too dang hilarious!
Porky’s best TOTUS imitation -
Bill Clinton had that long, knarly thumb to use as a “pointer”.
Barry tries the same, but it turns out to be a clinched fist. -
He said it unintentionally.
FAIR SHARE. -
#155
Axelrod and Plouffe:
We told you and told you not to say that !!! -
Breitbart has a blog on the debate. I just started reading it, and it’s amusing already.
-
So I hear Barry say that his granny worked hard all her life, starting modestly and ending up as the Vice President of a bank who decided to live alone after she retired. He said she could do that because of Social Security and Mediare.
I’m sorry, but wasn’t it because she retired as the frikkin Vice president of a frikkin bank?
That being said:
Romney ain’t no Reagan. This debate won’t move the needle one little bit. I agree with Texpat: way too wonky. Romney fell into the “provide specifics” trap. -
Reports soon filter out that Barry has back problems and sleep apnea.
-
RMoney agreed with TEO waay more than I’m comfortable with, but we knew that. Work with the other side??? I think we tried that already.
-
Be prepared.
The politics of personal destruction are about to reach nuclear attack proportions.
That’s the Chicago way. -
#161 Shannon
“Romney sodomized the family dog” ? -
#158 Sarge
I don’t know for sure about the effect. I’ll have to take readings for a couple of days, but the lefties are already hysterical about BO blowing it and Mitt “bullying” him.
Great fun.
Oh, and see Tedtam’s #157 link. -
They have already used the dog.
I’m thinking “child rape and mutilation”. -
My favorite part:
Shoving Solyndra and buddies up his nose.
Repeatedly.
“That $90 billion would have hired a lot of teachers.” -
Damn. I can’t get sound out of my netbook, and it’s not the headphones. I guess I’ll have to catch the debate tomorrow on my other machine at my desk.
Drat. -
Another favorite from Romney:
“….You don’t pick winners and losers. You pick losers.” -
Sound just came on. Perhaps it’s the recording of the video.

At this point, this is a battle for the hearts and minds of the low information voter. I don’t think either of them made up any minds in that demographic. And that’s bad news for Romney.
I listened to it on streaming radio here at the computer, and that may have affeted my experience, but I would have preferred for Romney to say something that made me stand up and cheer. That didn’t happen, although he did come close. But that’s what changed things for Reagan. There were multiple moments in that first debatewith Carter that, if you had the wndows open, you might have heard a cheer rise up nation wide. -

Repeatedly.Yah, but—–
Low information voters have to know what he’s talking about, or it won’t mean a thing to them. It will just be Chrilie Brown’s teacher talking to them. -
I will say this;
Romney did win the debate. He did better than he had to. Anything approaching a loss would have been a disaster.
And the good news is that the next debate s Biden against Ryan.
I’m getting extra poporn for that one. -
CNN’s snap poll of registered voters shows that 67% say Romney won, 25% say Obama won.
-
Didn’t watch the debate but looking at and reading the reactions I think the Bradley Effect will get a point or two rise.
-
#171
If 42% of those polled know about Solyndra, that’s awesome. I don’t see it though. -
And the good news is that the next debate s Biden against Ryan.
Now that’s the one I want to watch.
-
I’m also looking forward to the VP debate. Ryan will bring a mop to clear the floor after Biden melts into a puddle on live TV.
I just took a rather dangerous jaunt to Democratic UG. Some of them are upset about the debate, others are somewhat delirious – no, delusional – about what happened tonight. -
This was the worst night Barry has had in many years.
Fence sitters are overwhelmingly giving Romney high marks. -
Axleshaft was stuttering and shaking like hound dawg pooping a peach seed!! 😀
-
Look for Jumpin’ Joe to come across as your angry old uncle.
-
#180 Hammy
“Angry” isn’t the word I was looking for. More like “senile”. -
I just thought of something – this being TBO’s 20th wedding anniversary. I’m assuming there would normally be a little nookie later.
At least TBO knows what a good screwing is supposed to be like, now that the debate is over. -
Does this mean we’ll get a temporary respite from the debates are fixed, the moderator’s biased, the media will report President Obama won, we’re all victims meme? 😉
-
Meow!

“Willingness to work with the other side” appeals to low information voters.
Even if you’re lying about it – as Obama has from the beginning. -
Some things even the presidential spitter-in-chief can’t spin.
-
Looking for a senior organization to belong to, primarily for insurance coverage. Can’t believe I qualify for this stuff now. Looking at Generation America or American Seniors Association. ASA is bigger and well established. Any thoughts?
-
There’s another one out there. AMAC? I must confess I have refused to acknowledge that I qualify for such things. My mind is not in sync with the calendar yet.
-
Back for a closing comment or couple after reading the linked Breitbart and PJs Media impressions. Gee-whiz gang, they pretty much agree with our observations here in Hamsterville. Many of them are uproariously funny too.
My cheesecake dessert is happy now so I shall say g’night. -
