Adolph Hitler was one of the most barbarous leaders in recent human history. But few know of his softer side.
When asked about the photo shoot, the beaming Führer said, “The photographer was wonderful! I’ve never felt so pretty!”

Flounders are born ( or hatched ) with one eye on either side of their head, like any normal fish. However, during the course of early development, one eye migrates over the top of the head to the other side, twisting the skull in the process. As this happens, the fish changes from an upright-swimming planktonic larva to a juvenile that lies on one side when it settles to the bottom. The upper side of the fish retains normal coloration, while the lower side becomes white.
In most species the eyes always migrate to the same side of the head. In some species neither side is preferred. Such species are known as ambidextrous, and both left and right individuals occur. Even in non-ambidextrous species, for a small percentage of individuals, things go wrong, -

Flounder is the nastiest fish to come from the ocean. We used to poach lobster and carry them home in big burlap sacks. The lobster would go on the bottom half of the bag and the top half would be filled with flounder. Dad figgered that nobody would stick thier hands down inside a sack full of lobster to see what was on the bottom.
The lobster boils in the backyard are one of my few good childhood culinary memories, but the memory of flounder stew and flounder chowder reenforces the fact that the lobster was an exception that made the rule of crappy Yankee chow.
BTW—every part of a flounder looks like an eye to an 8 year old when its put into chowder. -
There are some High School kids in this country who still have some of what it takes to live right. The kid here determined last year that he would spend every Saturday night in 2012 outside in his hammock.
OK, so its not saving orphans from herds of buffalo of starting a soup kitchen for unemployed matress thrashers, but here a kid decided he would do something, and stayed with it.Some people, actually quite a few, ask me “Why?”. Why are you doing this? Well, even after an entire year, I still can’t come up with a satisfying answer. “Well… because I want to.” I say. And they say, “well do you get anything? Any reward?” “Well… no” “So then why are you doing it?” “…Because.” They don’t understand I’m doing it… just to do it. I didn’t get a reward, I didn’t raise money, I didn’t get tons of recognition, I just slept.
I suppose you could say I was rewarded in a way though. Not a physical way, rather a mental way. I learned dedication. I learned to finish what you sent out to do. I learned patience, and I learned the importance of taking some time to myself, and let the crazy world around me settle down for a bit.The first comment there is interesting.

I never met a flounder hater before.

One good thing about growing up inland is I never had to eat a flounder when I was a kid.

I wonder when the flat out lying will stop?
HEADLINE:US economy adds 155K jobs, rate stays at 7.8 pct.
How many people fell off the unemployment rolls and are no longer counted yet still are receiving benefits? Why would someone want to work when in many instances they can make more money applying for all the available fed benefits and stay home than they could going to work all day? This highlights the problem on a couple of fronts: one is the real unemployment rate is closer to 21% than the 7.8% advertised; the other is that the current policy punishes those who would go back to work and pay taxes this exacerbates the deficit by shrinking the tax paying base.
If anyone in private business were to advertise 7.8 vs an actual of 21 the feds would be all over them, but govt seems to be able to get away with it. -
The legendary Texas political operative, Bill Miller, is reputed to be the source for the idiomatic expression, Politics is just show business for ugly people.
I have found the original inspiration, the suis generis image, that moved Miller to coin such a poignant phrase.

The cover article makes the case that the pro-abortion side is losing the abortion debate, saying, “40 Years Ago, Abortion Rights Activists Won an Epic Victory With Roe v. Wade. They’re been losing ever since.”
….
So the pro-life movement hasn’t changed the meaning of feminism, as has been suggested. It was the neo-feminists of the 1960s and ’70s who asked women to prize abortion as the pathway to equality.
Pro-life feminism has captivated a new generation of young women who reject the illusion that to be pro-woman is to be pro-choice. Gallup polling showed that among 18-to-29-year-olds, there was a 5% increase in those labeling themselves “pro-life” between 2007–08 and 2009–10.
The past few years have seen the emergence of young leaders like Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America, who is responsible for organizing more than 675 pro-life groups on college campuses across the nation, and Lila Rose of Live Action, whose undercover video work has forced the abortion industry to confront and amend practices it cannot defend, as well as dozens of other future leaders who have assisted our organization as staff members and interns.
Not only does this young generation of pro-life women shun the notion that abortion somehow liberates women; it views abortion as the civil- and human-rights cause of our day. Abortion is an injustice that permeates our society. Forty years after Roe v. Wade, we realize that a third of our peers are not here to share our progress and our hopes. It is our loss as well as theirs. -
Maybe there’s hope for the Methodists after all:
Too many in the church believe that “enough people with the same opinion equals truth,” Fox warned “That’s not a living faith,” which should be built on the Holy Bible and revolve around Jesus, he said.

Landscape artist Ida Weisselberg Hadra born in Castroville
January 04, 1861
On this date in 1861, German immigrants Gustav Frederick and Anna (von Groos) Weisselberg celebrated the birth of a daughter, Ida, in Castroville, Texas. The family later moved to Austin, where Ida had opportunities to study with landscape artist Hermann Lungkwitz and portrait artist Ella Moss Duval. Under their tutelage the young painter demonstrated promising talent, especially for landscape studies. In 1882, she married physician Berthold Ernest Hadra and the couple moved to San Antonio, where Ida continued her studies with Mrs. Duval and painted several scenes of San Antonio of historical interest. Three years later Ida Weisselberg Hadra died of peritonitis on November 4, 1885.Early San Antonio

Black cowboy Bose Ikard dies
January 04, 1929
On this day in 1929, Bose Ikard died in Austin. Ikard, born a slave in Mississippi in 1843, became one of the most famous black frontiersmen and trail drivers in Texas. The Civil War left Bose a free man, and in 1866 he went to work for Oliver Loving as a trail driver. After Loving’s death, Ikard continued in the service of Loving’s partner, Charles Goodnight. The two men became lifelong friends. Goodnight later commented that he trusted Bose Ikard “farther than any living man. He was my detective, banker, and everything else in Colorado, New Mexico, and the other wild country I was in.” In 1869, after settling in Weatherford, Ikard participated in a running battle with Quanah Parker’s Comanche band, riding alongside his former master, Milton Ikard. Goodnight visited Bose in Weatherford whenever the opportunity arose and gave him presents of money. After Ikard’s death, Goodnight bought a granite marker and wrote an epitaph for his old friend: “Bose Ikard served with me four years on the Goodnight-Loving Trail, never shirked a duty or disobeyed an order, rode with me in many stampedes, participated in three engagements with Comanches, splendid behavior.” -

Oops, sorry about one word in there.
H/T Instapundit:
A few years ago, at a Las Vegas convention for magicians, Penn Jillette, of the act Penn and Teller, was introduced to a soft-spoken young man named Apollo Robbins, who has a reputation as a pickpocket of almost supernatural ability. Jillette, who ranks pickpockets, he says, “a few notches below hypnotists on the show-biz totem pole,” was holding court at a table of colleagues, and he asked Robbins for a demonstration, ready to be unimpressed. Robbins demurred, claiming that he felt uncomfortable working in front of other magicians. He pointed out that, since Jillette was wearing only shorts and a sports shirt, he wouldn’t have much to work with.
“Come on,” Jillette said. “Steal something from me.”
Again, Robbins begged off, but he offered to do a trick instead. He instructed Jillette to place a ring that he was wearing on a piece of paper and trace its outline with a pen. By now, a small crowd had gathered. Jillette removed his ring, put it down on the paper, unclipped a pen from his shirt, and leaned forward, preparing to draw. After a moment, he froze and looked up. His face was pale.
“F. You,” he said, and slumped into a chair.
Robbins held up a thin, cylindrical object: the cartridge from Jillette’s pen. -

The first real Cow Man I ever met was Lawrence Silas. One of his ranches was next to where I grew up.KISSIMMEE — The day Lawrence Silas suffered a stroke, the rancher had spent the morning herding cattle on his ranch off U.S. Highway 192/441.
For the saddle-tough cowboy, Silas came as close as he could to dying with his boots on.
”I might even die out on the range with a cigar in my mouth,” he said in a 1942 feature article published in the Saturday Evening Post. ”Wouldn’t be nothing wrong with that.”
…
One of the few black ranchers in Osceola County, Silas earned a reputation as skilled cowboy and successful businessman.
…
”He came up with the Basses, Partins, Bronsons,” Allen said. ”He never had a problem. In those days, ‘your word was your bond.’ ”My family were the Basses she speaks of. My great-grandfather owned the land west of Silas’ ranch.

LaTourette wants to make it easier for those GOP congressmen who are willing to work toward a grand bargain and is leaving Congress to do just that.
He’s taking over the Republican Main Street Partnership — the slimmed-down group of congressional GOP centrists — and is going to create a super PAC to serve as a counterbalance to the Club for Growth in House Republican primaries.
“When a center-right Republican is in a primary and is being targeted by some group as a RINO, we’re going to make sure we have their back,” said LaTourette. “Not just with speeches and press releases but with money.”
LaTourette said his initial goal for the group’s super PAC would be to raise $10 million and he had already gotten favorable responses when he brought up his plan with senior House Republicans on committees that make it easy to raise money. -

Most people don’t realize how unsegregated the rural south was. I’ve previously posted here how my mother was a one room school teacher in the 19teens that was open to all. I remember in the 1940’s how the locals all worked side by side working cattle, raising houses and bringing in crops. We had a black cheerleader in 1955. -
7 Sarge,
I have to differ with you on the subject of flounders. Floundering on the reefs around Galveston is one of my best memories of my youth, but it was surpassed by the Crabmeat Stuffed Flounder that my Mom would make. It was probably not the healthiest seafood fare, but it sure tasted good.
My Mom also made a tomato based red crab gumbo that had the crabs lining up for the privilege of jumping in the pot. I never got the recipe from her and I have spent decades trying to duplicate it. I am getting close.
We would save up the chicken necks during the year and freeze them. Once cold weather had set in and it was safe to go crabbin, then we would pack up and go the tidal area south of I-10 bridge at the Trinity River. Using just the thawed chicken necks tied to string and a small net on a pole, we could fill two 48 quart coolers in just a couple of hours. Mom would have the gumbo starting as we returned for the fun of cleaning the live crabs. Chanel #5 had nothing on the smell of Mom’s Gumbo.

After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said:
‘Let me see if I’ve got this right.
‘You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
‘You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.
‘You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.
‘You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams.
‘You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.
‘You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.
‘You want me to do all this, and then you tell me……
I CAN’T PRAY?’ -

I can’t find it again but read this morning there are at least two reported cases of people being harrassed and re-stalked as a result of the newspaper publishing their names and addresses. One woman had been stalker free for two years. Two days after publication the hang up phone calls started again.

Remember when fountain drinks first showed up in convenience stores?
It was exciting. -
Jiffy Stores were all over Lawton, OK. They were the first “convenience stores” I ever saw. In NH we had mom and pop corner stores, and none of them were chain stores. To this day I call any convenience store a Jiffy Store. I imagine there are thousands of guys who went through Fort Sill in the 70s who still do as well.
I did a google search and couldn’t find any mention. I guess they went out of bidness. -
Looks like Lil’ Champ bought all the Florida Jiffy Stores some time ago.

‘Bout the Corn-Venience stores, back in another life, when I lived in Brunswick Georgia, (1974-1979) we had two 7/11’s, the first convenience stores that I’d ever seen, they were both on the federal hiway. But we also had “Jacks Convenience Store” that had followed the 7/11 model and had about 8-10 stores in Brunswick, Saint Simons Island and Waycross. Part of his success was that he issued check cashing cards, remember that in those days a lot of people didn’t have credit cards, especially if they did their business at Jacks. MOST important was the cards were good at all the stores. 7/11 never had a chance in that neck of the woods. He was a man ahead of his time, and as a “side-bar” shortly after I purchased two acres of land on an old dairy farm off US 84 he bought the land adjacent to mine, just across the little creek that divided our properties. I met him once and then I sold out (I got a great Job) and moved to Savannah.

Hey, let’s avoid the debt-ceiling standoff by minting a trillion-dollar platinum coin instead
“There is specific statutory authority that says that the Federal Reserve can mint any non-gold or -silver coin in any denomination, so all you do is you tell the Federal Reserve to make a platinum coin for one trillion dollars, and then you deposit it in the Treasury account, and you pay your bills,” Nadler said in a telephone interview this afternoon.
I assume the reason they’re thinking about a coin worth “only” a trillion instead of $10 trillion is because, you see, a $10 trillion coin would be exorbitant and sound crazy.
