On Sunday, some of the talking heads on the so called news forums were saying that the Congress Critters that voted FOR our Constitution & against the gun bill were in trouble, their poll numbers were going down. So how do you ‘splain this? Recalls of Colorado anti-Second Amendment senators heat up.

So how do you ‘splain this?
The news (expletive deleted) think that what ever they tell you is the truth and is therefore news. Many have not yet grasped that they no longer have a monopoly on what people see, hear and read.

Just found out a high school friend of mine would fit in very well here. He was a drum player in high school, and we didn’t hang together much. It seems I missed an opportunity to make a like-minded friend back then – making up for it now.
He had a couple of good quotes on his FB page.
“That door you just kicked in was locked for your protection, not mine.” With an image of a gun.
“Things happen for a reason. Sometimes that reason is that you do stupid things.”
Yep, that’s true. /sigh -

There is no relationship at all between what Weather Underground members did and the bombings that two brothers allegedly committed on April 15 in Massachusetts, Ayers said in response to a reporter’s question. No one died in the Weather Underground bombings. . . .
U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., committed daily war crimes in Vietnam “and I get asked about violence when what I did was some destruction of property to issue a scream and cry against an illegal war in which 6,000 people a week are being killed,” Ayers said. . . .
“To conflate a group of fundamentalist people [in Boston] who are nihilistic in some way with a group of people who spent their lives trying to oppose the murder of 6,000 people a week … and still the killing went on. And still the killing went on. What would you have done?” Ayers said. “There’s no equivalence [with Boston]. Property damage. That’s what we did.”In his talk to the crowd, Ayers mentioned that in 1970, he lost three friends in the Weather Underground, including his lover, Diana Oughton. He did not explain in his talk how they died – they were killed when nail bombs they were making in a Greenwich Village townhouse blew up.
Telling the crowd the circumstances of those deaths would have been “inappropriate,” Ayers said afterward. “Everybody here knows,” he said.
Authorities said the bombs were intended to be used at a dance at the Fort Dix Army base in New Jersey.
“No one knows for sure but I think they were. And had they carried it out it would have been a catastrophe,” Ayers said. “But they didn’t and it didn’t happen. But what did happen is, on that same day John McCain murdered civilians. Do we have any responsibility for that? Should there be any reconciliation for that? Should he tell the truth about it?”http://www.volokh.com/2013/05/06/ayers-defends-weather-underground-bombings/

While I appreciate the enthusiasm shown for the humble grilled cheese sammich, but for pete sake can’t anything as simple as a friggin GCS be left the hell alone. I mean there are some forms of perfection that cannot be improved upon and I do not need wanna-be Martha Stewarts telling me how to make it better.
That completes my CUFT. You may now return to your killing of rodents, rats and other varmints. 🙂
/Sheesh now I don’t even want a GCS any more. My BSue will prolly see this and when I tell her to make me a sammich she will ask me if I want brussels sprouts on my humble GCS or something. Worse yet she will want to try Brie cheese or fetta. Oh the humanity. We are doomed. -
I’ll stick with my healthy low-fat version.

#14 TT: Yes it is a great idea, contained to that sphere, this commenter sums up the bigger picture nicely:
This is creepy to me. This can be used to target our children, after all, we parents are viewed as inferior thinkers by progressives. Yes, in this instance it is used well, but I see danger signs.
Already teachers are giving students assignments and then telling them not to tell their parents about it. This would be one more way to preclude parental involvement. I love the idea of preventing child abuse and punishing the abuser(s) however this approach has the potential for abuse when applied to different subject matter. It really sucks to have to think in this fashion, however, history has demonstrated that you really can not trust anyone you do not know well.

Our faxing company was out of commission Friday and Monday. I couldn’t get through on their customer support line. It finally came up Monday afternoon – with a new interface.
It sucks. Big time. I hate it. And I can’t find a way to customize it so we can use it more effectively.

Your Grand Poobah is wrong.
When Her Highness brought home some low fat/fat free cheese, I tasted it or rather, I tried to taste it, but it didn’t have any. But, hey, my dog loves cheese more than anything else on earth.
So I melted a bunch of it over my dog’s kibble. She walked over, took one whiff of the bowl and walked away.
When you take the fat out of cheese, it is no longer cheese. It’s just cardboard. -
I’m gonna hafta agree with TexPat on this one, low/no fat cheese of any kind is simply not worth the price or the effort required to put it in the cart. It is a waste of resources.

The bug-eyed camera, about the size of half a grape, was reported this week in the journal Nature. It’s constructed of 200 interconnected rubbery lenses, which together allow a 160- degree field of view. The lenses, linked together in a sheet, can twist and stretch, allowing them to be formed into different shapes for different views, said John Rogers, a study author and a professor at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.
Infinite Field
In traditional photography, lenses can focus only on one distance, with a decrease in sharpness on either side of that point. In the compound eye, the depth of field is infinite, so nothing is out of focus, Rogers said in a telephone interview.
This may one day provide a boon to camera-guided surgeries, requiring less movement of the camera to provide resolution for doctors, or making more-effective surveillance cameras, he said.http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-05-03/bug-eyed-camera-with-200-lenses-seen-improving-surgery.html

We can’t kill the fax. It’s how the city sends us our work orders. Some of our customers use it. We must keep the fax!
If our company doesn’t change things, we may be changing over to another company. I’ll check out Efax. I loved our system the way it was. Changing is such a PITA. -
Wow. Efax is a lot more ‘spensive than our current service, about twice as much.

The fax must be outlawed.
Kill it. Kill it. Kill it! -

I’m with Hammie. I hate the fax.
-
#41 – Currently I use email attachments quite a bit more than faxes – prolly at a 75% / 25% margin or so…………
-
It is much easier to draw a crude picture and fax it than having to scan it in to the desktop then find it then attach it to an email which then has to be sent. By the time I do all that I have lost the creative surge in the first place and it is just not as fun.
-
I have a friend who has been my friend all my life (53 years), we were literally in the same crib at times. His father passed away this morning at the age of 89 from end stage congestive heart failure. I got to see him on Friday and he was still lucid and not in pain.
He was a Texas A&M graduate in engineering. I am sad at his passing and grateful that he was not in pain and that his passing was swift. I have lost a family member today, he was family even if he was not blood. -
When filling out forms I always leave the fax number blank. I still have a few customers that call up wanting to fax me something. I tell them I don’t have a fax and they seem surprised. I ask them if they have email and they say “Of course!” I ask “Why don’t you email it to me?” They say “Sure, I can do that.” All fax machines must die.
-
It is much easier to draw a crude picture and fax it
Oh. You’re that guy.

I agree with Shannon and Hammie, the fax machine should die!! It’s soooo ancient!! I hate it when employees still submit their time sheets via Fax. It’s not as reliable as email. via email, I can search for their time sheets and their history so much faster than having to worry about loosing the only copy I have of a time sheet submittable.
-
You high-jumpers to conclusions! I said nothing whatsoever about low-fat cheese. I was bragging about the lack of any need to fry my MW/T sammich in a greasy pan or grill. Sure, that fried butter is a lot of the charm of an old-fashioned CGS. You can keep it, it’s all yours.
I usually put 3 slices of cheese between the toasted bread. I like a mix of different flavors, e.g. 1 Swiss, 1 cheddar, maybe 1 colby. Plus lots of thinly sliced onion. Nuke on low power for about a minute.
Some of the sliced cheeses I buy are reduced fat (from 2% milk) but most are full fat. What I have eliminated is the unnecessary fat on the griddle. The melted cheese sandwich has a clean exterior that can be picked up with the hands.
That is all. -
#47 Shannon:
. . .and then some. -
When a couple of customers I know real well have asked me for my fax number I’ve told them to please send it over on a 5.25″ floppy instead.

“when it absolutely, positively has to get there….”,
shoot the fax machine with a 12 gauge and get in the car and deliver it yourself. -

How I spent my lunch hour.
1. Ate Lunch: 10 minute
2. Pinned a 12 foot long 1/2 inch wide flat felled seam.
Tonite I inject thread into it.
Repeat tomorrow.
I bought material to make my own hammock that is pretty much the same thing as a custom hammock that’s on the market for about $75.00. The material cost me $30.00, shipping included. I wondered what the extra $45.00 was for. Know I know. He’s paying himself less than minimum wage. -

I tried emailing my absentee ballot for a neighborhood special assessment to the HOA’s management company yesterday. It bounced back twice so I called the guy up. He told me to FAX in the ballot. I had to pause and think about my access to a FAX machine. I finally remembered that we have some pretty fancy scanner/printer combos that are hooked up to a phone line as well. Typically if someone asks me to FAX something I will call or email them and ask if it is ok to email it. About 95 out of 100 times this is acceptable. The other 5 times I sit there and wonder which century they are in.
Tedtam, my wife still subscribes to a fax service of some type, but I never use it so I can not even recall the name of the company. -

We have a lot of hyphenated Texians on the Couch…

-
I have seen TexMo in person, and fat he ain’t! Lean and fit would be much closer to the truth. The best source for Omega 3 outside of fish oil I have found is Christopher brand chicken eggs. They advertise 660 mg Omega 3 per egg which is about 10 times the amount in the discount eggs. The first article that TexMo linked (#60) reveals how that is done: feed the chickens lots of flax seeds and fish meal. For an egg producer to claim healthy or cage free is frequently enhanced marketing, for an egg producer to claim a specific level of a particular compound (Omega 3) requires that to be true or risk huge lawsuits.

So I’ll just use the crappy one because I’m not willing to spend the time or money jumping off into leathercrafting.

A Tactical Sporran. Olive drab Cordura, Coyote Brown webbing straps. Made to carry water filtration, First Aid, Maps & Compass, GPS, etc.
Might make a hairy cover for formal occasions, though.

I also don’t think they are going to make the (current!) deadline at midnight Wednesday. They are still jugggling too many issues that have not even been looked into, much less fixed.

She doesn’t need any encouragement. -
The Washington Post swerves into several actual true facts in a piece on gun violence and crime involving same.
-
It’s a good idea to avoid being the target of law prof Ann Althouse’s anger.
She’s writing here of some punk NYT reporter skulking around the small town in Kentucky
holding a funeral for a small child killed in a firearm accident. The locals have been quiet, reticent and stoic in the glare of an international media desperately trying to keep alive the gasping meme of gun control of the ignorant masses, for their political masters back in DC.
Apparently, the good folks in Burkesville, Kentucky simply ran out of their ration of patience for uninvited visitors…
from Trip Gabriel, intrepid New York Times reporter:“I think it’s nobody else’s business but our town’s,” said a woman leaving a store, who like many people here declined to be interviewed. A woman who answered the phone at the office of John A. Phelps Jr., the chief executive of Cumberland County, whose seat is Burkesville, said, “No, I’m sorry — no more statements,” and hung up.
and…
After the funeral service, two men advanced across North Main Street toward a single television crew present, from the German network RTL, and punched the cameraman, bloodying his face and knocking him down.
Two other men told a newspaper reporter, “If you had any sense, you’d get out of here. You’re next, buddy.”Clearly, it’s an even better idea to avoid the wrath of the good people in Burkesville.

Lo-fat cheese or anything else claiming to be low fat is dangerous and will make you fatter. The fat is replaced with carbohydrates. Carbohydrates cause your body to produce insulin which is designed to burn carbs while restricting fat from entering the bloodstream to be used as body fuel as well as directing any additional fat to be stored in the fat cells. Carbs (and sugar)=insulin=fat storage. If you will eliminate the carbs and the sugar from your diet, your body will release fat from storage and burn it for fuel and you will lose weight. You can use real butter, eat real cheese, have all the bacon and fried eggs you want and still lose weight – but you can’t have the bread, the pasta, or the potatoes. Just because I have lost over 60 pounds (from about 310 to a svelte 250 so far) over the last 8 months by merely eliminating those pesky carbs from my diet is no reason to believe my claims – read more about it here. BTW, similar to the Atkins diet, but this is a compilation of studies, not a diet book.

From the comments:I had a short debate with my sister in law about the gun bill, it went like this:
Her: “All they wanted to do was expand background checks…”
Me: “So why was the bill almost a thousand pages long?”
Her: “I just hate guns.”
How do you have a debate like this? You don’t, you decide this kind of stuff in elections. -

There’s very little of substance to debate now that the Supreme Court has ruled in Heller and McDonald. The anti-Second Amendment crowd is dancing on the very thin, narrow margins of statutory authority.

Now that reminds me of a goofy contest Frito-Lay was having. They had 3 new trial flavors of potato chips, and were putting an extra single serving bag in their 20-bag mixed chip flavors, as an introduction. We found a bag of “Chicken and Maple Syrup” flavored potato chips in one I bought. David couldn’t taste anything and I had no opinion, other than it tasted sweetish which isn’t normal for potato chips. -
