    Yeah it was fun while it lasted but ED MORRISSEY provides the reality check

    In any case, this isnโ€™t that much of a bar on Congressional action. What can be done in this manner can be undone in the same manner.

    Even without a new bill reversing course these people would simply ignore the law they wrote when writing the new gun restrictions.

    From your linkie:

    Those that self-identify as progressives, leftists, socialists or Marxists, have one overwhelming trait in common: they are narcissists who believe they are pre-ordained to rule the masses too ignorant to govern themselves.

    Truer words were never spoken.

    One of Myersโ€™s recurring themes is the ways in which the dumbing down of the general culture has infected American Christianity and conservatism. These are two spheres where we might expect the work of โ€œpreserving cultural treasuresโ€ to be taken up. Yet wander into a Mass or worship service in any suburban Catholic or Protestant church and youโ€™ll hear โ€œpraise songsโ€ that might have been lifted from Sesame Street or, if the service is High Church, the soundtrack of Phantom of the Opera. Itโ€™s hard to believe this is the same religion that inspired Bach and Palestrina, whose choral works are no more familiar to the average pastor or parishioner than the chants at a Kikuyu circumcision ceremony. The liturgy, whatโ€™s left of it, is either pedestrian or absurd. (The Shepherd who used to maketh you to lie down in green pastures will now, if youโ€™re a Catholic, โ€œin verdant pastures give you repose.โ€) Among clergy no less than the laity, a desire for beauty and reflection is deemed prissy and dull.
    โ€œIโ€™ve always thought that beautiful art was a great apologetic resource,โ€ Myers says. Beauty is the chief attribute of God, said Jonathan (not Bob) Edwards. โ€œBeauty points to a Creator.โ€ Yet the church, Myers says, โ€œcapitulates more and more to the culture of entertainment.โ€
    โ€œItโ€™s a way of keeping market share. But theyโ€™re digging their own grave. Thereโ€™s a short-term benefit, but in the long term the kinds of cultural resources they need to be faithful to the Gospel wonโ€™t be there.โ€

    Corker is proposing some solutions:

    In our nation’s history, the best way big problems have been solved is through presidential leadership. In the absence of a president who will lead on this issue, one constructive way to start tackling our financial deficit and the fiscal deadlines we face this quarter … is to begin legislating on entitlements in areas where there has been strong bipartisan consensus in Congress as well as White House support: chained CPI adjustments and Medicare means testing.

    “In the absence of leadership.” I guess TBO waited too long for a beer summit on the issue of entitlement cost management.

    Chained CPI (Consumer Price Index) has been opposed because it would slightly reduce Social Security benefits. …it would lower the Social Security Cost Of Living Increase by one-quarter of a percentage point each year, and save $112 billion over the next ten years. The chained CPI idea is an honest and fair approach. … the chained CPI version takes into account that consumers are not stupid and will indeed look for cheaper substitutes. In the regular CPI, expenditures calculated are taken from a two-year period, while the chained version uses monthly evaluations, making it more accurate.
    Medicare means-testing would mean that people who could pay for their own health care could see lower Medicare payments.

    The chained CPI assumes “that consumers are not stupid”? That will wreak havoc with the Dem’s vision of the future, where everyone is stupid except them.
    And Corker plans to use the liberal’s methods to achieve his ends:

    I plan on introducing legislation to enact these reforms when we return, and after we pass these, though it will not be fast or easy, we must continue grinding through a similar process, month after month, using regular order, one piece at a time, until we have put our countryโ€™s finances back on a sustainable path.

    Well, maybe not. He’s not crying racism, or victimhood, or blaming Bush. He’s just willing to go piecemeal until the changes are made.

    9 Shannon,
    A few points……..
    1. Worship as practiced in large churches (or temples for that matter) has always been
    about entertainment. If you cannot draw and entertain the folks; then you will not put butts in the pews.
    2. My folks were life long Yellow Dog – New Deal Democrats and yet they were very devout Catholics as were most of the adults that I met in church on Sundays when I was young.
    3. I agree that American Conservatism is largely on a decline in terms of intellectual thought. The trailer park faction of the conservative movement prefers its talking blimp bases and shrill harpies to say George Will, Krauthammer, William Safire, or the late William F. Buckley. Sometimes you get what you pay for…
    If there is a silver lining in all of this is that the left has a similar problem. It is just as equal in dumbness amplitude; but it is opposite in phase and nearly as distorted.

    I met this man last night. I was quite impressed with him, and not just because he’s a clean, articulate black man. He had a passion and energy that the other candidates seemed to lack. (Sylvia Garcia especially seemed drained and washed-out.) He argued school choice with firmness and respect with a friend of mine who’s a die-hard Democrat. He would be a breath of fresh air for this senatorial district. If you know of anyone in State Senate District 6, please let them know they have a choice! This is the district that was represented by Mario Gallegos.

    20,
    Bray’s problem is that he is better known outside of the district than inside. I voted for him in November and did not even know it. He still got beaten by a dead man.
    Look at the District Map. The only way he can run is if nearly all of the voters from this District do not show up and he will likely only hold the seat until the next normal election year cycle.

    โ€œOf course Al didnโ€™t show up,โ€ said one high placed Current staffer. โ€œHe has no credibility.
    โ€œHeโ€™s supposed to be the face of clean energy and just sold [the channel] to very big oil, the emir of Qatar! Current never even took big oil advertisingโ€”and Al Gore, that bulls***ter sells to the emir?โ€

    How do they feel about Gore the savior of green energy now?
    The displeasure with Gore among the staff was thick enough to cut with a scimitar.
    โ€œWe all know now that Al Gore is nothing but a bulls***ter,โ€ said the staffer bluntly.
    We do stories on the tax code, and he sells the network before the tax code kicked in?
    โ€œAl was always lecturing us about green. He kept his word about green all rightโ€”as in cold, hard cash!โ€

    If you cannot draw and entertain the folks; then you will not put butts in the pews.

    Actually that is NOT true. The gubment and religious institutions are merely giving the folks what they want. This was not always so as you suggest. It is true prolly 90% of the churches today regardless of size or denomination TODAY but up until just after WWII the primary purpose of the church was the preaching teaching of the gospel. Go back and look at the history of “the church” and what they did even in the founding of this country and you will find a much different church, what it taught and how it interacted in the community. I would submit that this entertainment crap began to slip in when the moral decline of this country began to expand rapidly in the 60’s, when we became so much more “enlightened”. I would also submit that this “entertainment crap grew as technology grew.
    In all aspects of American life we have become a nation that wants to entertained and the political system we suffer through today exploits that to perfection. You need ot pick a copy of Huxley’s essays “Enemies of Freedom” where he addresses this. Here is a snippit of a Mike Wallace Interview that illustraate not only the dumbing down of politics, also how the parties have figured out how to use the electorates short attention span to bring us to what we got today. Oh btw this was done in 1958. A link to the original vidiot is at the top of the text.

    WALLACE: You write in Enemies of Freedom, you write specifically about the United States. You say this, writing about American political campaigns you say, “All that is needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere; political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate, the way he is projected by the advertising experts, are the things that really matter.”
    HUXLEY: Well, this is the…during the last campaign, there was a great deal of this kind of statement by the advertising managers of the campaign parties. This idea that the candidates had to be merchandised as though they were soap and toothpaste and that you had to depend entirely on the personality.
    I mean, personality is important, but there are certainly people with an extremely amiable personality, particularly on TV, who might not necessarily be very good in political…positions of political trust.

    Read the whole interview, quite enlightening. I do not call Huxley a prophet like some folks have I say he is what he was a social critic with SOME spot on insights.

    Frontier icon Crockett loses election, heads for Alamo
    January 09, 1836
    On this day in 1836, after losing his bid for a fourth term as a Tennessee representative to the U. S. Congress, Davy Crockett wrote a letter stating his intention to go to Texas. This, his last extant letter, praises Texas as “the garden spot of the world,” with the “best land and the best prospects for health I ever saw.” With high optimism for his political future, he wrote that he fully expected to take part in writing a constitution for Texas. “I am in hopes,” he wrote, “of making a fortune yet for my self and my family, bad as my prospect has been.” Crockett could not foresee his fate at the battle of the Alamo, which occurred just two months later.

    Biden: Obama Considering ‘Executive Order’ to Deal With Guns
    11:42 AM, Jan 9, 2013 โ€ข By DANIEL HALPER
    Single Page Print Larger Text Smaller Text Alerts
    Vice President Joe Biden revealed that President Barack Obama might use an executive order to deal with guns.
    “The president is going to act,” said Biden, giving some comments to the press before a meeting with victims of gun violence. “There are executives orders, there’s executive action that can be taken. We haven’t decided what that is yet. But we’re compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action that we believe is required.”
    Biden said that this is a moral issue and that “it’s critically important that we act.”
    Biden talked also about taking responsible action. “As the president said, if you’re actions result in only saving one life, they’re worth taking. But I’m convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm’s way if we act responsibly.”
    Biden, as he himself noted, helped write the Brady bill.
    Eric Holder was scheduled to be at the meeting that’s currently taking place at the White House.

    Iowa lawmaker calls for retroactive gun ban, confiscation of semi-automatic weapons
    4:43 AM 01/09/2013
    inShare1
    David Martosko
    Executive Editor
    In an interview with the Daily Times Herald in Caroll, Iowa, state Rep. Dan Muhlbauer said governments should start confiscating semi-automatic rifles and other firearms.
    Muhlbauer, a Democrat from the western Iowa town of Manilla, is a cattleman and farmer. The newspaper reported that he owns a .410 shotgun, a .22 rifle and a .22 pistol.
    โ€œWe cannot have big guns out here as far as the big guns that are out here, the semi-automatics and all of them,โ€ Muhlbauer told the newspaper during a December 19 audiotaped interview. โ€œWe canโ€™t have those running around out here. Those are not hunting weapons.โ€
    โ€œWe should ban those in Iowa,โ€ he said, adding that such a ban should be applied retroactively.
    โ€œWe need to get them off the streets โ€” illegally โ€” and even if you have them, I think we need to start taking them,โ€ Muhlbauer told the Daily Times Herald. โ€œWe canโ€™t have those out there. Because if theyโ€™re out there theyโ€™re just going to get circulated around to the wrong people. Those guns should not be in the publicโ€™s hands. There are just too many guns.โ€

    Wake up call

    Disillusioned Obama voters are waking up to face the reality that Obama didnโ€™t exempt them in his quest to steal money from all Americans to pay for his expanding government. It turns out that those making $30,000 a year will pay more taxes than those making $500,000 because of the deal Obama pushed for after the fiscal cliff debacle.
    Obama voters, the jokeโ€™s on you.
    Oh, one other little tidbit. The Democrats want to find $1 trillion more in taxes in 2013.
    The message is sinking in. Here are some tweets from Obama voters:
    @CZebari22 Damn the taxes killed me. I should have voted Romney
    @crushonchrissy I’m starting to regret voting for Obama.
    @gekka_88 I have a friend who voted for Obama publicly complaining about the new #SS tax raise. I would just like to say: You did this to yourself.
    @VAisforlovas But really how am I ever supposed to pay off my student loans if my already small paycheck keeps getting smaller? Help a sister out, Obama

    One comment on the liberal site DemocraticUnderground.com. whined:
    What happened that my Social Security withholdingโ€™s in my paycheck just went up? My paycheck just went down by an amount that I donโ€™t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this decrease is gonnaโ€™ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?โ€
    Another comment, by โ€œDemocratToTheEndโ€ was, โ€œMy boyfriend has had a lot of expenses and is feeling squeezed right now, and having his paycheck shrink really didnโ€™t help.โ€
    โ€œNancy Thongkhamโ€ gave a measured response to the new taxes she would have to pay: โ€œF***ing Obama! F*** you! This taking out more taxes s*** better f***ing help me out!! Very upset to see my paycheck less today!โ€
    โ€œ_Alexโ„ขโ€ was more resigned: โ€œObama I did not vote for you so you can take away a lot of money from my checks.โ€
    โ€œDaveโ€ had the most honest reaction: โ€œObama is the biggest f***ing liar in the world. Why the f*** did I vote for himโ€?
    The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center in Washington estimated 77.1 percent of all taxpayers will see higher taxes.
    Obama voters, that means you.

    Soggy good afternoon Hamsters. No sign of the front yet, and the rains arrived later than expected early this morning. Most of Fort Bend County was lucky to be a relatively dry spot between the east heavy rain blob and the west heavy rain blob until around 1 pm. Last look-see at the plastic gauge was around 1:45 pm showing 1.25″ today so far. But since then the continuous big blob covering all has overcome the county, so we are getting steady rain with intermittent heavier showers. Puddles are spreading into small ponds, and the lighter stuff at the edge of the storm creeps ever so slowly toward us.
    Mara had a touch of colic early this morning and wouldn’t eat her breakfast, kept pacing her stall and wanting to see outside. The barn windows and doors had been closed for several days to keep out cold and rain, but last night was warmer and they needed cross ventilation. Vet clinic called about 6:45, situation described, first aid administered by me,vet treating a serious colic at the clinic and unavailable until about 9. Meantime Mara felt better and hungry and stopped pacing. Vet arrived at 9, gave further meds, checked her carefully, and agreed on giving her more room by keeping her stall door tied open so she could also move around in the aisle. She seems to be doing well, though it is wise to check on her every couple of hours. Cammy and Tessa are fine, thankfully. They all want to go outside in the pasture, but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
    The day has thus far been upset but seemingly righting itself. Thank you, Lord. And St. Francis.

    The article is about the federal helium reserve. and can be found on page 19 at this link.
    Did I miss something here?

    . At the
    time the legislation was passed, the price of helium sold from the
    reserve was nearly twice the price of private crude helium
    .. The
    BLM price for helium is the only published price and so, over the
    next decade, the price of private crude helium steadily rose until it
    equaled the price of federally owned helium.
    /snip
    First, the global helium market became
    coupled to the published BLM price of helium, which artificially
    depressed the global market price.

    /snip
    While the 1996 legislation authorized the helium sell-off
    through 2015, it didnโ€™t anticipate that the US$1.3 billion debt to
    the treasury would be paid off two years early. Once the debt is
    paid in full, which is anticipated to happen sometime in 2013, the
    funding mechanism for the FHR ceases to exist. Without funding,
    the reserve is unable to continue operating. This brings us to the
    precipiceโ€”a cliff requiring a legislative solution before American
    manufacturing, patient health care, and discovery-driven research
    suffer the consequences of a potential global helium shortage.

    Is the fact that the feds may no longer be able to sell under the current scheme going to immediately disintigrate all of the rest of the helium in the world? Why not simply let the free market dictate the price for helium and sell as the market dictates at the market price?
    I think that this entire article describes why our federal finances are in such a mess, the logic trail is incoherent.

    Rain stopped about 4 or so with just a few very brief sprinkles hanging around until almost 6. Rain gauge reads 2″ level for today. Puddles in the yard and on the driveway going down steadily, but the yard will be mushy for a few days and the pastures as well while all soaks in. It can stop for a while now. Humidity everywhere makes air you can wear and leave a wake going through, but at least the temp is low 60s. Looking for the promised dry breezes to replace it.

Finally the man responded to the accusations that our prisons are filled with pot users. He said that only 1% (less than?) of people incarcerated for weed for possession. Most others are a result of pleading down other charges like theft, breaking and entering, etc.

    Famous church’s bells to ring for same-sex couples

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington National Cathedral had been ready to embrace same-sex marriage for some time, though it took a series of recent events and a new leader for the prominent, 106-year-old church to announce Wednesday that it would begin hosting such nuptials.
    The key development came last July when the Episcopal Church approved a ceremony for same-sex unions at its General Convention in Indianapolis, followed by the legalization of gay marriage in Maryland, which joined the District of Columbia. The national church made a special allowance for marriage ceremonies in states where gay marriage is legal.
    Longtime same-sex marriage advocate the Very Rev. Gary Hall took over as the cathedral’s dean in October. Conversations began even before he arrived to clear the way for the ceremonies at the church that so often serves as a symbolic house of prayer for national celebrations and tragedies.

    I’d be a fool to claim to know all of God’s will but it’s hard for me to understand Him not wanting to clean house soon. That’s when things will really get ugly.
    Stand firm and righteous with an eye fixed on the glory of God. Seek to serve Him and do it. Christ the Lord is our Heavenly King and it is to Him which we are subjects, not to popularity or to the fools in DC.

    I just watched this on Netflix for Breelahn who wanted to learn dog facts. Dogs connect to humans like no other animal on earth. I’d type details but I cannot reach closer to the keyboard at the moment to use my baby hand without ramming the baby’s head into the computer desk.

    I just got back from my first class of the new year. One of my students brought me a beautiful flower in a pot. She wrote my name on the pot with a little heart. So sweet.
    Now, the countdown begins to death. 5….4…..3…..2….

    Congress Less Popular than Cockroaches, Traffic Jams
    “Congress did manage to beat out telemarketers (45-35), John Edwards (45-29), the Kardashians (49-36), lobbyists (48-30), North Korea (61-26), the ebola virus (53-25), Lindsay Lohan (45-41), Fidel Castro (54-32), playground bullies (43-38), meth labs (60- 21), communism (57-23), and gonorrhea (53-28).”
    Well it is nice to know that Congress beat out an STD. Wait a minute. If my math is correct 19% of those people polled were undecided!!???!!!!! Is this the vast undecided “independents” that our parties always court to win elections? The people that never know who they are going to vote for until the get into the voting booth? How can you be undecided whether you like an STD better that Congress? I am gabber flasted.
