Monday “Happy” Food Open Comments
For all of those states who have now legalized gay marriages, I can see these foods at the receptions.

what he saidTell you what, even better, go stand in front of Lovely or any other pregnant woman, and tell her you think they’re weird.
When Yellow Hair was gestating one of the fruits which sprang forth from my loins, I made what could be considered an indelicate remark. The resulting chase scene resembled a concrete truck chasing down an SUV. None of it was pretty.
I learned a very important lesson that day – one which I have passed along to many pre-fathers. Pregnant wimmins lose very little speed when they are in a family way. They do lose significant cornering capability.

A tolerant, progressive supporter of free speech gets his come-uppance, then cries about being bullied.
It’s nice change of pace when a company stands up against racism, especially when the target is chosen not only because of color, but because of conservatism.A Minnesota-based publishing house has dropped one of its authors for calling a black conservative woman an “Aunt Tom” and “ignorant c–t” on Twitter.
Author Scott Colbert has since deleted the Friday tweet to Crystal Wright, known as “@GOPBlackChick,” and locked his Twitter feed, but not before conservative commentator and bestselling author Brad Thor highlighted it on his own Twitter account. Thor, a frequent Glenn Beck television and radio guest, replied to Colbert: “Did you just hurl a racial slur at my friend?”
/snip
By Saturday, KHP had posted a message on its website announcing it had terminated its contract with an author, whom it did not name, due to an “inexcusable” incident.“From progressives who so-called preach tolerance…there is not a day or minute goes by in my Twitter feed that someone doesn’t call me an Uncle Tom, an Aunt Tom, ‘I’m not black,’” Wright said.
And since he attacked her personally in a vulgar way, instead of say, tweeting that he disagreed with her politics or her beliefs, he is upset at the response.
He said he deleted the tweet within minutes of posting it, admitting it was “over the top,” and “unwarranted.” He said he’s received more than 200 hate tweets and several death threats from Twitter users in response.
“I realized my mistake and deleted the tweet almost immediately,” Colbert wrote. “Since then I’ve been labeled a racist (which is absolutely absurd — especially to those who know me), had my life threatened, called far worse than anything I said and still continue to get hate tweets. I’ve had to protect my Twitter account, change my phone number, change my email and somehow I’m the bully?”Losers. They are everywhere.

Real Clear Markets:
There were 3.3 million fewer Americans working last month than there were back in November 2007, which was more than five years ago. In the interim, America’s working age population grew by 11.4 million.
So, how were the December employment numbers? They were terrible. December was an awful month, capping a horrendous first Obama term in office. The current jobs situation could only be seen “good”, or even “OK”, by someone drunk on Obama’s “new normal”.
December, America’s working-age population went up by 176,000. On the margin, only 15.9% of these people found jobs. For Obama’s first term as a whole, our adult population increased by 9.3 million, and (incrementally) not one of these new potential workers found a job. In fact, total employment actually declined by 64,000 over the past four years.
In America’s entire post-war history, nothing like this had ever happened before. The record for the fewest jobs created in a presidential term had been held by Bush 43. In his first term in office, total employment rose by only 1.82%. During Obama’s first term, the total number of jobs fell by 0.04%. -
Obama’s handouts are encouraging people to think they don’t have to work. It is only those who had an upbringing that valued self-reliance that have not been perverted by The War on Poverty.

I heard on the Mack show this morning (he is back) that OJugEars does not think we have a spending problem. There are only 2 components to this issue: revenues and spending. Revenue is directly related to the size of the economic pie, the more the govt takes from that pie the smaller it gets. Once the gov’t takes beyond a certain measure (15-20%) the pie will shrink and revenues will decrease, even faster if the rates are increased. This leaves us with the spending side, paying people not to work and allowing them to be comfortable, well fed, and possessing all sorts of luxuries like obamaphones, will only encourage more people to not work and further drain the system.
It looks like the Ds are gonna try for more tax increases, and the photo on the Drudge absolutely violates the Benzene rule. That thing Rosa Delouso, is on there and my goodness is that thing ugly. -

James Moreau Brown buys future site of Ashton Villa
January 07, 1859
On this day in 1859, businessman James Moreau Brown purchased four lots at the corner of Broadway Boulevard and Twenty-fourth Street in Galveston. On the site he built Ashton Villa, reputed to be the first brick house in Galveston. He designed the three-story, Victorian Italianate residence himself and used slave labor and skilled European craftsmen to build it. To protect the house from the damp, Brown made the brick walls thirteen inches thick, with an air space between the exterior and the interior walls. Brown died in 1895; his home withstood the devastation of the Galveston hurricane of 1900, but its basement was filled with sand and silt. El Mina Shrine bought the house in 1927 and used it for the next forty years as business offices. In 1968 the Shriners offered the property for sale. A campaign led by the Galveston Historical Foundation raised $125,000 to purchase Ashton Villa, and funding from both government and private sources helped restore and refurnish the historic home. Ashton Villa was opened to the public in 1974 and is administered by the Galveston Historical Foundation. -

There are really 2 debt ceilings.
1. The one you’re describing,
2. The market debt ceiling. That is the appetite of investors and governments to continue to loan the US money. Once the market decides that risks of loaning us money outweigh the benefits, no loophole or trick will save us. -

Flu infections sweep America hospitalizing thousands and leaving 18 children dead of complications, and it’s going to get worse
2,257 people have been hospitalized since the start of flu season
Three-fourths of those with symptoms say the were not vaccinated

The U.S. has been hit with a particularly aggressive early flu season this year with widespread reports of the illness across the country, hospitalizing 2,257 people and leaving 18 children dead before the end of 2012.
And health officials say the numbers haven’t even peaked yet.
‘I think we’re still accelerating,’ Tom Skinner, a Center for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman, told reporters.
The latest figures from the CDC show 29 states and New York City reporting high levels of flu activity, up from 16 states and New York City just one week prior.

I think that guy is gonna be rich:Regulation CC: Availability of Funds and Collection of Checks
12 CFR 228
The Expedited Funds Availability Act (EFAA), enacted in 1987, addresses the issue of delayed availability of funds by banks. The EFAA requires banks to (1) make funds deposited in transaction accounts available to their customers within specified time frames, (2) pay interest on interest-bearing transaction accounts not later than the day the bank receives credit, and (3) disclose their funds-availability policies to their customers. The EFAA is implemented by Regulation CC.
Regulation CC is divided into three subparts. Subpart A defines terms and outlines enforcement authority. Subpart B specifies schedules within which banks must make funds available for withdrawal, exceptions to the schedules, disclosure of funds-availability policies, and payment of interest. Subpart C contains rules to speed the collection and return of checks.
Section 229.12 Availability schedule
States that proceeds of local and nonlocal checks must generally be made available for withdrawal by the second and fifth business day following deposit, respectively. A local check is a check deposited in a depositary bank that is located in the same Federal Reserve check-processing region as the paying bank, and a nonlocal check is one deposited in a different check-processing region than the paying bank. -

from the comments section on #10:
Joel Lambert commented:
You are also almost required (if you choose not to, which I did, everything is reduced to paper checks and is a pain in the ass for everyone) to have a BofA credit card for TAD/government travel expenses while in certain jobs in the US Military. There was no other option of financial institution. They charge interest, and late fees to the soldiers, even as the government which is requiring the soldiers to apply for BofA credit cards is late in paying the soldier’s travel claims. I’ve hated BofA since this scam began in the late nineties and refuse to do business with them.Forcing the soldiers to use BofA and then having BofA abuse the soldiers (if this is true) is par for the course for Demonazis in general and Bronko in particular.

An academic was visiting a fellow professor.
“Have you seen Dr. Papardi lately?” asked Dr. Smith.
“No, the last time I talked to him was Tuesday night,” replied Dr. Leopold, “and he was working, so I left.”
“Dr. Papardi never stops, does he?” mused Dr. Smith. “What was he doing?”
Dr. Leopold said, “I don’t know exactly. He had invited me over for dinner, and I entered his living room when I heard him yelling from the bathroom ‘I’M THINKING! I’M THINKING!’ So I left before I interrupted his train of thought.”
“You fool!” yelled Dr. Smith, “He lisps!” -

This is a super video with simple and easy to follow instructions. A friend sent it to me and probably her whole address file a couple of weeks ago. I sent it to lots of my friends/kin and also to two websites with large readerships.
CPR is much easier to practice now that cardiologists have concluded that chest compression alone is sufficient rather than compression and breathing for the patient. That combination wastes time in transitioning from one to the other as well as sapping the strength of the rescuer faster. The compressions have to be rather foreceful. If worse comes to worst a broken rib is a small price to pay for being revived and staying alive. -

CD class, the three B’s, is he breathing, is he bleeding, does he have any broken bones?
Also make sure he’s not in shock. -

In the mid 90s my wife had ACL surgery. Back at home for recovery with the leg machine and morphine pump I somehow managed to OD her, I felt something was not right and couldn’t wake her, so I called 911 and the lady asked if she was breathing and she wasn’t and I hadn’t noticed! The lady walked me through CPR and got her revived, it happened one more time before the EMTs got there. I was never was so happy to see someone and sure wish I knew who that 911 operator was to give her a big hug.
-
Tim, what a wonderful story, and glad you saved your Sweetie’s life (after ODing her).

Preparing for tomorrow’s bad weather as each updated forecast is as bad as the previous one. Pulling remaining decorations off the front porch and bringing them to the garage or back porch. The outside decorations are taken down and put away as Epiphany has come and gone. Tree comes down tomorrow, presuming the weather is not wild and we have power. Winter decorations stay until February. Some of the live wreaths are still in reasonably good condition and smell too wonderful to be discarded.
G’night all. Batten down. -
Though I think it was foolish to allow RGIII back into the game, here’s some interesting background:
If you want to understand why Redskins coach Mike Shanahan allowed his quarterback to play for most of a 24-14 NFL wild-card loss to the Seattle Seahawks at FedEx Field, despite an obvious knee injury — and why Griffin demanded as much — it helps to start with a story. Once upon a time, there was a player at Eastern Illinois, a Division II school as far from the bright lights and big money of professional football as, well, the surface of Mars. One spring day during a practice scrimmage, the player was speared in the ribs, so hard he could barely breathe. He stayed in the game. Went home. Urinated blood. Began throwing up. He went to the emergency room, where doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong — because his ruptured kidney had been jammed behind his spine. The player passed out from the pain. His heart stopped. He was revived with a defibrillator. A priest administered last rites. Following kidney removal surgery, his football coach told him he would never play again. He was lucky to be alive.
He responded by petitioning the school to be allowed to suit up.
The player’s name? Mike Shanahan.
