Good morning Hamsterville #1
-
Re: last night’s #121 phil
The cheese bit lead me to another Monty Python skit, The Village Idiot. There, buried in the comments was a cry for help from BoBo’s neighbors:“The village idiots live right across the street from me, engaging in domestic disputes every other day out in the street. Long term pot usage does terrible things to the human brain. Potheads raise some incredibly stupid and dangerous feral children.”

Hammy, I just sent you my electoral map, but I didn’t realize it would be sent as a link with all the states listed. Is that the format you were expecting? I don’t want to lose the contest just because I sent the wrong way…
-
Apparently, if we don’t reelect Bronco Bomma, it’s just like we’re assassinating Lincoln again.
-
the election will be held on 11/6, republicans have won every election held on 11/6 dating back to President Lincoln. Romney will be the 7th consecutive win for republicans next tuesday.

That shenanigan boy on the bike reminds me of a status-seeking woman I know who has her 12-year-old son enrolled in the Houston Polo Club. Now the boy seems to enjoy it and he is from all accounts pretty good for his age, but OMG does he look foppish in his uniform. Compared to, say, a cowboy or a trailrider. Is this a type of bigotry on my part?

G’Morning All
High bridge sees its dawn over the Sunset Route
November 03, 1891
On this day in 1891, construction began on the Pecos High Bridge in Val Verde County. The Pecos High Bridge was built there in only eighty-seven working days, between November 3, 1891. Opened in early 1892, this structure was actually the second bridge built to serve trains traveling on the Southern Pacific’s Sunset Route, and the new crossing greatly shortened the route of the rail line. Located at a deep gorge of the Pecos River, the mammoth structure was an engineering marvel supported by twenty-four towers and spanning a total length of 2,180 feet. Rising 321 feet above the river, the bridge was the highest railroad bridge in North America and third highest in the world. Judge Roy Bean of nearby Langtry served as coroner for workers killed during its construction. The Pecos High Bridge towered as a landmark for many years until a new bridge, located 440 feet downstream, opened in 1944.Coupla pics:

It’s not only individual doctors and small business worried about Obamacare
St. Luke’s exploring hospital sale options
By Todd Ackerman | November 2, 2012 | Updated: November 3, 2012 12:37am
In what would be the biggest transaction in Texas Medical Center history, the St. Luke’s Episcopal Health System is exploring the possible sale of its hospitals to suitors that include the Memorial Hermann and Methodist systems.
Sources in contact with parties involved said the St. Luke’s board of directors recently authorized CEO David Fine to pursue a deal with Memorial Hermann, Methodist or Ascension Health, a Catholic system of hospitals and facilities headquartered in St. Louis.
St. Luke’s officials would not confirm the system is in sales talks, but in response to Houston Chronicle inquiries, they acknowledged that concerns about coming health care changes prompted them to form a task force and hold meetings with a wide variety of people.

Is this a type of bigotry on my part?

93% Romney. Not surprising to me but I’m sure our resident faux libertarian will freak out, 88% Johnson. -
Dang. I guess I should have voted for some guy named Gary Johnson.

Here are the people from whom I’ve received prediction maps so far:
Tedtam
Super Dave
Katfish
Sarge
MHarper
Bonecrusher -
I predict Romney with a lot more Electoral votes than people are expecting. Hopefully plenty enough so we don’t to go through another dangleberry or hanging chad or whatever they called it. (Sorry, no map, just years of watching momentum build on other elections)
-
92% Romney, 72% Gary Johnson, 30% Bronco Bama

I wonder of Bronco Bamma is kin to Bronco Billy?
-
Bill Maher (spits, then washes hands) makes a non-veiled threat against Romney voters.

There is a video in the link where he utters his bilge; I could not bring myself to watch it as I really like my monitor.

Proof that the boss really is an idiot.

well done, Phil.

Threats to riot if Romney wins increase as we approach THE DAY.
The comments speak volumes, if riots take place there will be incredible push back and massive bloodshed. -
We had a “peeping tom cat” looking in the window and my younger cat was not happy about it at all. Screaming like a panther she was.

Good morning Hamsters. Supposed to be an increasing chance for rain today into tonight. We had 64 and ground fog to start off at 6:30, with plenty of dew that was good enough to equal a light rain. The acorn rain is almost over with only occasional thumps on the roof. Now wondering if all the woodsy critters who eat acorns will scarf them up before they sprout or rot.
#14 OTL
Now that is priceless and very clever of Air New Zealand to partner with WETA Workshop.
A win-win situation all around. Waiting for The Hobbit movie. 🙂 -
Quick note about the maps – Maine and Nebraska are not winner take all and can split their electoral votes. Consequently one electoral vote from each state could go to the loser. If you want to change either of those districts let me know via email, otherwise I will assume that you want all electoral votes for those states to go to the candidate you chose in the majority.
-
Given the outrageous things popping up on the social media and the cable ( esp.HBO) media regarding the presumed/feared election results, it would seem Election Night could be Halloween Night on steroids in some quarters. Things going bump in the night.
Tolerance level for same likely to be very low. -
People that riot usually burn down their own neighborhoods. The only ones I’ll feel sorry for are the Korean store owners.

Interesting:
Which candidate suits you best quiz.
Gary Johnson – 92%
Mitt Romney – 84%
Virgil Goode – 79%
Barack Obama – 12%
What those results don’t capture is that my level of disgust with politicians (including Gary Johnson) has reached a level where I will not be voting at all in this election. As our friend Squack says, I focus on what politicians have done, not what they say they will do. -
Would it matter if Texas was a “swing state”?
-
Suddenly the 30% chance of rain became 100% out here and actually is coming down rather hard at the moment. A cluster of showers is working its way northeast from the Victoria area and spreading out over Wharton, Waller, Fort Bend, Brazoria, and Harris counties. It’s dropped the temp to 72, and that’s welcome. But it has postponed running errands for a bit.

Judging from the radar on my phone, there’s a fair amount if rain approaching Ken Pridgeon Stadium from the south. Hope it stays away until about 3:30 or so.
-
The Cy-Ridge Rams use the Michigan fight song.
Not bad. -
Would it matter if Texas was a “swing state”?
That’s a good question, given that Texas’ electoral votes are going to Romney regardless of my vote, but for me personally the answer is no. I would not vote for Romney to defeat Obama regardless of where I lived.

We need an AED for the blog lately, keep finding it lapsed into a coma like this. 🙂
It was raining at my place at 3 pm, did ya get rained out, Pyro? -
This report of NAACP and chaos for Friday voting is at the Acres Homes Multi-Service Center, where I voted on Thursday afternoon. I saw no infractions while I was there. I was treated rudely by a black poll clerk who processed my paperwork, but I’m not overly sensitive. Still, in future, I may drive farther.

With 0:38 in the first half, the lightning alarm went off. An hour and a half later they started back, but the band had left so we had to load their stuff. Which was soaking wet.
Football is played in whatever weather is happening, unless there’s lightning within ten miles. Play is stopped and everyone has to take shelter until the ten mile zone is lightning-free for twenty minutes.
I think LC won. They were up 30-14 in the third when we left. -
Hmmm. Apparently Bart Starr is a racist.
-
#46 M42: Can you imagine the outcry if a similar action was taking place at the Bear Creek Center and it was Moral Majority engaging in exactly the same thing, except this time advocating for Romney? Why do we consistently give the blacks a pass? It is wrong and it must stop. Ditto that for the mooslimes, just look at queer Paris, France, they kept giving them a pass and now there are completely lawless areas around the city – the wissin wussy cops won’t even go in there. One law for everybody, equally applied, creates and protects a civilized society.

I went to the quilt show today. I was there for several hours before Lovely and her boss showed up. (I had 3 free tickets from my ever-so-brief dalliance with TV fame earlier in the week.) I was searching for this year’s Santa, but other than that I couldn’t afford to buy anything. It was hard to to resist all the goodies, so I walked quickly through the vendor area with my hands in my pockets, trying not to stop at all the gadgets and bling. Lovely showed up and we finally found the booth where I usually find my Jim Shore Santas. There were three that I liked, so we walked away to look at the quilts.
Lovely and I are usually very methodical, trying to go up and down each aisle in order not to miss anything. Boss was so cute – she’d see one she liked and run to it, then kind of take off in another direction when something caught her eye. We had to keep corralling her to keep her on track.
We had fun, though my feet are very tired. It was good to see Lovely and engage in our traditional quilt show day again.
And she liked the snood I made for her. -
Oh, and I picked out this year’s Santa. I can’t be called a racist – this one is brown, unpainted. It’s the first time I’ve seen a Shore piece without paint on it.

Great movie for sci-fi fans.

I don’t know what interactive map Hamous is using, but I stumbled across my notes from the late September prediction I made for the electoral college as I was trying to get rid of piles of papers in my study this morning.
I wrote down notes for each of the 50 states. Anybody know what the site is ? RCP ? -
Go here, make your picks, save your map, email to me.

Hope Texpat and Her Highness are comfy and safe at home in the aftermath of Sandy’s visit. Would trust that now folks who live near them would pay attention to what he warned them about before Sandy roared in. The mindset of so many in the NE is foreign to just about the rest of the nation exccept for weird pockets of the West coast.
Agree with Texanadian #50 about getting the government you vote for. Wonder if it will penetrate. -
texpat and his bunch betta hunker down, They ain’t done with it yet by the looks of this report,
Crown Weather Services
We are closely monitoring the potential for a pretty strong nor’easter to impact much of the northeastern United States starting late Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night and continuing through all of Thursday and Thursday night. Strong northeast winds with gusts to 60 mph along the coast and gusts to 40 mph inland, beach erosion, heavy rainfall and even accumulating snow across far northern and western New England is likely across all of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and central/eastern Pennsylvania.
Unfortunately, this storm will impact many areas still recovering from Sandy and power outages seem likely along with further beach erosion. Not a good situation and one that you should start preparing for today. Get those emergency supplies and generators (if you have one) ready. -

Happy Anniversary Bones! -
Texans engage Mexican force in battle of Lipantitlán
November 04, 1835
On this day in 1835, the battle of Lipantitlán was fought on the east bank of the Nueces River three miles above San Patricio in San Patricio County, directly across from Fort Lipantitlán. A Texas force of around seventy men under Adjutant Ira J. Westover engaged a Mexican force of about ninety men under Capt. Nicolás Rodríguez. The battle lasted thirty-two minutes, leaving twenty-eight Mexicans dead, including Lt. Marcellino García, second in command, who was mortally wounded and died two days later at San Patricio. The Texans suffered only one casualty, when a rifle ball cut off three of the fingers on William Bracken’s right hand.Dance Queen is Born
November 04, 1906
On this day in 1906, Gussie Nell Davis was born in Farmersville, Texas. She went on to gain fame as the organizer and leader of the Kilgore Rangerettes, the innovative dance-drill team at Kilgore College. First performing in 1940, the group achieved international recognition under Davis’s direction and appeared at such heralded events as President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Inauguration and several Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parades. The Rangerettes graced the covers of Life, Newsweek, the Saturday Evening Post, and other magazines. Davis guided the group until her retirement in 1979, and she served as a consultant for drill teams across the nation. This drill team pioneer was honored with induction into the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame in 1989. -
I think every single freight train in the state of Texas went by the barrio last night.

Okay, who jacked with my clocks?

Resetting the clocks is a liberal plot to give TBO more time to implement his policies.

How do I save it? So I can send it? -
Good morning Hamsters. A few light sprinkles and 63 at 6 CST, not much chance of more rain this morning apparently or maybe for the rest of the day. Got 2/10″ yesterday so the green things are happy.
The weather forecast for the NE is alarming. Would hope that those who were clueless before Sandy have learned something valuable about being prepared as best you can.
That goes for the state governors on down; by now they should have deduced the Feds are mostly clueless and mired in red tape regulations. They also should have deduced it would be smart to put the unions on choke collars for the duration. Alabama likely won’t be sending power restoration help to NJ or NY this time around.
The governors might wanna chat with governors of states that regularly get hurricanes and have a history of coping with them, if they haven’t already done so. Duh. It is hard to feel deeply sorry for the willfully clueless. -
Otay.
I figured it out.
What email do I send it to? -
The great Bart Starr endorsed Romney-Ryan. 🙂

Many thanks to all for the warm anniversary wishes. TT, Mrs. Bonecrusher said the medication she takes helps a lot.

Something’s going on.Its called a “preference cascade”
When campaign strategists and political analysts go out on camping trips — they do, you know — they end the night by gathering around the campfire and telling stories of a terrifying, unstoppable, voracious and mysterious force that preys on vulnerable political campaigns: the Preference Cascade.
Its what happens when people turn around and suddenly discover that most everybody feels the same way they secretly do.
I have absolutely no real data to base this on, but right now I am as grimly confident of a victory as I was in 1994. Back then, the polls were giving us essentially the same information as we have now. What people did not factor in back then was the effect Rush Limbaugh was having on the electorate. Today we have Facebook. Just as in the eraly ’90s when Limbaugh was giving voice to millions of people’s real beliefs by demonstrating that they were not alone and having the opinions they did about government did not mean they were racisthomophicsexist degenerates and it was OK to vote based on thier true feelings, millions of people today are finding out the same thing except the message is being delivered by their friends and neighbors.
It doesn’t happen all at once, but once it gets rolling, its like a snowball going down a steep mountain. Nobody sees it because it can’t be measured. Its what happened in 2010. The number of people showing up at Tea party rallies was the true indicator of what the result of that election would be. Just as it, and the size of the extensive Social Media network was the indicator of Ted Cruz’ victory. -

Blogger loses to comment section. 🙂 -
The last post got me to thinking.
We have witnessed in our lifetimes the following Preference Cascade elections, where the electorate broke late but hard in favor of a challenger or an ideology that was challenging the status quo:
1980
1994
2008
2010
(and you might put 1968 in there, too)
All but one of them was a preference cascade in the favor of Conservative Thinking. The only exception, 2008, was not actually a preference cascade towards the ideas that Obama was presenting but was a reaction to a Republican presidency that had turned its back on Conservatism.
Perhaps the Republican Party needs a Historian. -
This is a very interesting video about the upcoming solar and lunar eclipses in 2014 and 2015. 12 1/2 minutes well spent.
-
2008: Just about everyone was fed up with G.W., all for different reasons. McCain was a poor candidate and a pathetic campaigner. Sarah Palin was extremely divisive. And even people that should have known better were enthralled by the idea of The First Black President.

I will be voting with my Lady Smarts instead of my Lady parts. R/R 2012
If all you care about is your lady parts then President Ladyparts is definitely the man for you.

Watching all the talking heads this morning is like déjà vu from 2010. Then they spent the next year trying to explain how they got it so wrong. What’s the word the LLMD used? Shellacking. If RMoney wins they’ll be just as flabbergasted and spend the next year trying to explain how they got it so wrong again.
-
I just hope whiney-assed Matt Dowd is one of the chuckleheads trying to explain.

HItlery does not rule out staying on.
HEADLINE:Hillary Clinton doesn’t rule out staying on
Hillary Clinton has opened the door slightly to staying on for the start of a second term, according to a new interview with the secretary of state.
Clinton told The Wall Street Journal it was “unlikely” she would stay in her job past President Barack Obama’s second Inauguration but suggested the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four American diplomats might cause her to remain for a time.
“A lot of people have talked to me about staying,” Clinton said, while declining to name names.
Clinton has previously said in numerous interviews that she planned to leave at the end of Obama’s first term.I wonder if that delusional miserable failure thinks she may be “useful” during a RMoney admin?

Are us mackerel snappers gonna have to start eating jello salad?
-
94
I think that’s a small price to pay for letting us into an organization that actually serves beer at their Oktoberfest locally.
It’s a Social Doctrine humanitarian endeavor on your part. -
Would one of you mackerel snappers explain the issue to us Couch Critters that don’t know the special circumstances? What has jello got to do with it, for example?

Mharp
A few years ago the Vatican set up a special pathway for Anglicans to convert to Catholicism, but maintain most of their own liturgical (worship) practices. There have been a few clergy and parishes which have done so, particularly among a conservative Anglican offshoot called Anglo-Catholics….which had been pushing for it for some time.
This is the first I’ve heard of a similar process being considered for any other group – especially Lutherans.
All denominations have inside jokes about dishes that always show up at church gatherings. For Lutherans it’s jello dishes. -
Just FYI
The Lutheran/Jello stereotype has become so pervasive that in my church a family would probably get excommunicated for showing up with jello. -
even ifn they were jello shots?
-
At this point in the campaign, Ohio is likely sick of Ohio. 🙂
-
Jello shots would assuredly lead to a revival of the practice.
-
So you want beer and jello shots at your church services? Seems counterproductive to me, Shannon, but what do I know.
-
Moderation is the key.
-
I guess it’s up to me to reveal the big secret to Mharp.
That thing you see the priests swinging around with the smoke coming out?
It’s not incense anymore. -
And now for something completely different. Here’s a song off an obscure late ’70s Jerry Jeff album. It’s a duet with Carole King. Not bad for a couple of New York yankees. The song was written by Susanna Clark†.
-
I have long missed Susanna singing with Guy..
-
M42: Its so they can operate “in the spirits”.
-
Does choom-smoke qualify as “in the spirit” ?
-
I was misinformed that Susanna sang on the Old No. 1 album.
It was Sammi Smith and EmmyLou. -
#109 M42: Definitely, it just depends on which spirits one is referring to, because they are not all the same or from the same source.
-
I didn’t know Susanna died this year.
I thought I mentioned that back in the summer.
I was misinformed that Susanna sang on the Old No. 1 album.
She did sing on Texas Cookin’.

Question:
A container is used, with lid. Later, only one of the two items can be found.
How can this be? Where does missing bottom/top go to? The same place as the missing socks from the dryer? And why does this happen mostly when the menfolk are taking containers out of thehousekitchen???? -
Don’t blame me. I never take any of them anywhere.
-
All denominations have inside jokes about dishes that always show up at church gatherings. For Lutherans it’s jello dishes.
In the correct liturgical color.
Most of the year it’s lime, but sometimes it’s cherry, grape, lemon, or raspberry. I guess they don’t have potlucks during the times when white is used, unless they go coconut. -

I never had time to figure out my notes and the stupid map at RCP. My notes were illegible and the RCP deal was a pain in the ass.
My call in September was Romney 317 and Obama 221. -
Susanna Clark was a beautiful, talented, captivating woman I knew and I suspect she was the very same when she passed.
When she painted the cover for Guy’s album, Old No.1, Susanna came by the house and dropped off a fresh print for my girlfriend and me.
This will be how I will always remember her.
My heartfelt condolences to Guy Clark. I didn’t know and I am sorry I didn’t. -
#135 Texpat
I’m not up to navigating the map thingy either. Anybody really like RCP? 🙂 Without attempting to guesstimate a score, I am content that the election will be another 1980 for R & R, and smiles from Ronaldus Magnus. Wisconsin will be on their side. Badgers know how to throw bums out by now. -

He looks pathetic. -
Mayor Bloomberg has snubbed Borough President Markowitz’s impassioned plea to bring the National Guard to Hurricane Sandy-scarred Brooklyn — arguing that approving the Beep’s request would be a waste of federal manpower and turn the borough into a police state.
“We don’t need it,” Mayor Bloomberg said on Wednesday during a press update on the city’s ongoing Hurricane Sandy cleanup. “The NYPD is the only people we want on the street with guns.”
Markowitz demanded the National Guard’s help just an hour before Bloomberg’s press conference, claiming that the NYPD and FDNY are “brave — but overwhelmed” by all the challenges Sandy brought when it visited the borough on Monday night: flooding, power outages, and looting.

And then it just comes down to how well Team Obama has Philadelphia County organized. If he can drive turnout there as he did in 2008, netting 470,000 votes, the state will go his way, albeit narrowly. If his turnout machine is lacking a little bit – due to diminished grassroots enthusiasm, lack of preparation by Team Obama, or just the inevitable drift of marginal Republican voters in the county to the GOP banner – Obama will be in trouble. After all, John Kerry broke all the records in Philadelphia County in 2004 by netting about 410,000 votes, then Obama smashed them to reach 480,000 even as the county’s population was stagnant. If Obama “only” has the county as well organized as Kerry did, then in this scenario Romney would win the Keystone State, albeit it narrowly.

#145 Shannon
The situation is that bad? 🙁 That must mean Dallas lost.
On a bright note, The Wisconsin State Journal in Madison just endorsed R & R (with a few concerns, to if possible placate all the lefties in Madison), and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, in its supreme concern for civic duty, declined to endorse anybody for president. The MJS has the largest circulation in the state, the State Journal is second.
Snide remarks are all mine. 😉
G’night all.
