The video would be funny if it wasn’t soo true! -
“This was not just an attack on Britain and on the British way of life, it was also a betrayal of Islam and of the Muslim communities who give so much to our country. There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act.”
Obviously there IS something (or something missing) in Islam that either tacitly condones or encourages these truly dreadful acts. Otherwise Islam wouldn’t have the market cornered on dreadful acts perpetrated in its name.

I like this. A German software company is hiring autistic workers – because they’re better!
Don’t ask them to a dance, but they’re great with some technical skills. -
But….but…but….Obamacare is such a GOOD thing, right? Why are these major players bailing out of the exchanges in California???

G’Morning All
I agree with SuperDave -
Saw where Obama commented on the Oklahoma tornado.
He said he’s looking into it, he vowed that folks will be held accountable and he declared that the American people expect better. -
Also saw where Lerner invoked her Fifth Amendment rights and refused to testify to Congress about targeting conservatives.
After citing the Constitution, she should order herself audited for being a right-wing group. -

Drive around my hogan. There are billions of those annoying b@stards hooting, crapping, generally being annoying, and breeding.
Dove-flavored road pizzas litter the streets as the slow/stupid ones fall to heavy metal poisoning. -
from last night, M42 asks:
Let me dash back in for this news item with an online vote, Y/N would you vote for Weiner? It is almost 92% NO. Wonder if he will persist?
Will his campaign stand up or go limp?
Will the New Yuckers experience electile dysfunction and elevate him to mayor?
Will the New Yuckers choose to take the Weiner or eschew yet another screwing? -
Lois Lerner dropped a terd in the butter churn yesterday with her opening statement; she waved her 5th amendment rights by doing so. She will be called back today and if she does not answer she will be in contempt of congress, if she does and lies she faces the Roger Clemmons situation. If she tells the truth, she will condemn herself to jail because what she did or authorized is a crime. This woman has been a virulent, oppressive, detestable political attack dog against the Rs for over a decade and she is about to go down in flames. I predict that she is just the first, Shulman lied to congress, and we can’t forget Sarah Hall Ingram, now head of the ACA division in the IRS because she did the same things that Lois Lerner did.

#11: This is not virgin territory for Weiner and he knows the in’s and out’s of a hard campaign. As he will face stiff competition I think his campaign will go soft after an erruption of bad strokes from his opponent comes to a head.
Just my thoughts. -
-
And to think, I was just amazed the Weiner Man thinks he can make a comeback. I wasn’t looking for cheap puns. 🙂

I just watched the video, at this point I am in utter amazement that CA has not slid off into the Pacific yet. Clueless idiots who think they are really smart, darned dangerous in my book; I guess that is how morons like DiFi (D-Uranus) and BarbBoxer (D-Netherworld) keep getting re-elected.

Lie Witness News: It’s been clear for a long time that those who are out on the street with time to talk to reporters or comedians are never well informed. You can formulate any bizarre nonsense question and get lots of people to agree with it. Someone asked if Obama was right to send sequester funds to Portugal, and everyone said Oh Yes. Apparently no one wants to seem like they are out of the loop. As long as there is a current buzz word in your question — just anything they might have accidentally picked up from a newscast, like “mayor”, “election” — the man in the street (or pink-haired woman) is all over it. But probably your footage is scrapped if you aren’t a complete moron.

The English are starting to have had quite enough.
I would wager that it would not take so long to happen here (especially in the South) and that it would be much less restrained. -

“Immigrants” (apparently code for “Scottish Presbyterians”) have been rioting in the suburbs of Stockholm.

#18 Pyro, from your linkie:
The secretary of the mosque, Sikander Saleemy, told Channel 4 News he felt it was a “revenge attack”.
NO SCHIZZLE, SHERLOCK, of course it was revenge, and revenge by definition is to repay for an offense previously committed. If you want the revenge attacks to stop, GET THE MOOSLIMES TO STOP COMMITTING OUTRAGEOUS ACTS OF JIHAD.
He added: “The police said it’s too early to try and link it to what happened in Woolwich, but those of us who were here feel that it was some sort of revenge attack. It was clear from the man’s behaviour.
“We absolutely condemn what happened in Woolwich, but it had nothing to do with us. It was an appalling act of terror – but it wasn’t Islamic in any way. I wish it wasn’t described like that, because sadly people will now start to blame Muslims.”You are a lying pos, of course it was islamic, it is clearly spelled out in the koran you lying sack of crapola. Of course the people will start blaming the mooslimes because they are the ones committing the overwhelming bulk of the atrocities world wide and all in the name of your pig-humping god allah.

#20 Homer: from your linkie is this glittering jewel of PC madness; it is found at least 3/4ths the way through the article:
In Husby, more than 80% of the 12,000 or so inhabitants are from an immigrant background, and most are from Turkey, the Middle East and Somalia.
I wonder what other trait they may have in common other than being “imigrants”, hmmmmm? The writers/editors of this article are too cowed by PC insanity to even mention that they are overwhelmingly (approaching 100%) mooslimes. It is not the fact that they are immigrants that is the problem, islam is the core of the issue and they are too cowardly to admit it.

Like I said, Scottish Presbyterians.

MSNBC Anchor: ‘Everybody Knew About’ IRS Scandal ‘Long Before the Election’
“Why didn’t Romney make more of a big deal of it during the election?”
MSNBC anchor and former DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney reveals she was better informed than the President Barack Obama on the recently-reported scandal over the IRS targeting Tea Party and conservative groups for harassment.
“Everyone knew about this long before the election,” she claimed during a Wednesday panel discussion. 22 May 2013One might think that the IRS illegally targeting political opponents of a sitting president would be a legitimate news story and worthy of publication long before the pending election, while the information would be relevant. That this information was not discussed prior to the election by any news network is outright collusion and equates to an in-kind donation to the re-election effort of Bronco. I would bet that this was not included in the campaign reports.
Things could get really ugly and real fast due to the outrageous conspiracy (by her own mouth it is a conspiracy) to conceal the illegal activities of the IRS/whitehouse. -

The comic relief is amusing, we really need it as we are faced with the constitutional crisis of the IRS being used as a weapon against the party opposed to the sitting president.

I saw that video over at HotAir, she actually brings up a CIA Agent was outted during the Bush administration – in wartime! -

Plausible deniability.I wonder if its possible to bring criminal charges on a group of people who conspire to keep information from the President.
Might be one way to get some of those folks to pony up with the truth. -

Police: Teen accidentally shoots off his penis and testicle. -
As I stated elsewhere recently, The Republican Establishment is pea green with envy but also embarrassment “that the IRS did not think them worthy of harassing, or even worse, on the same side as the IRS. In other words, the IRS saw the GOP as too feckless to worry about. Either explanation is not very appealing for the national Republicans.”
Of course, the only thing going through the minds of the pecuniary consultants who run the Republican Party is they are missing out on a fundraising bonanza which is necessary to feed their army of mediocre consultants. -
Just a quick peek to see what’s happening on The Couch. I have to run an errand, then pick my mother up for her second appointment today.
Some days, I can enjoy being around my Mom.
Today isn’t one of them.
She is driving me WISSING NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Y’all have my permission that if I become a bitter, angry, self-centered, self-pitying old lady, you may send someone over and drown me in cats. Or hit me with a 2×4. Or something. I never want to be as ungrateful as she has been today. I have been holding my tongue because I know she’s old, I know she’s being driven crazy by this itching thing, and I know that she was never taught better and probably will never learn. I pick my battles with her, and then I just pray or find something else to distract me.
There was NO WAY I was going to suggest that she hang out with me between doctor visits today. N.O. W.A.Y.
Maybe my next visit will be more pleasant. See you later.

HEADLINE: Report: Mayor Villaraigosa ‘Didn’t Save Any Money,’ Casting ‘Really Wide Net’ For Jobs
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Is the highest-paid mayor in the United States broke?
With just over a month left in his second and final term, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will leave office in June reportedly without a place to live or a car of his own to drive, according to a report published Thursday.
Jill Stewart, L.A. Weekly’s managing editor, told KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO that Villaraigosa faces an uncertain political – and financial – future when he steps down June 30.Live absurdly beyond your means on OPM: Check. Severely criticize anyone who actually earns money and employs people: Check. Advocate for insane fiscal policies that have never worked in the past and have no possibility of ever being viable in the future: Check. Bankrupt your current employer, the city of Los Angeles: Check. Look for another bunch of suckers to allow you to continue the charade: still working on that one.

Sorry Tex, M42, I didn’t see that one coming.

The IRS scandal, Benghazi, the Associated Press of Propagandists scandal are all a bed of very hot coals but in the end OBeelzeBubama is going to walk over them and escape with nary a blister.
Why you ask?
Because deep down his devilish media propagnadists still love him and the Republican party, which consists of mostly RINOS, is completely worthless and weak. -
schmucky shoeterd and al frankenbooger dodge a direct question about their involvement in the IRS scandal.
Watch the video. -
So Al and Chucky each signed 2 letters basically ordering the IRS to go after the Tea Party, conservative, etc groups. It is illegal for the IRS to target, based solely on ideology, any political group. Those 2 letters then become hard evidence of a conspiracy to commit serial constitutional violations. Al and Chucky are accessories to a crime(s) and need to be criminally prosecuted.

Baby Breastfed By Vegan Mother Dies.An 11 month old baby exclusively breastfed by a vegan mother has died and the parents are charged with neglect after an autopsy indicated the baby suffered from deficiencies in vitamin B12 and Vitamin A – both known to be critical to a child’s development.
Vegans have long been advised to take B12 supplements as long term veganism runs the huge risk of serious B12 deficiency as well as other nutrients only found in animal foods such as true Vitamin A. Beta carotene is not true vitamin A nor does it easily convert to adequate amounts of Vitamin A in the body. -

Sorry, I wuz napping. Remember, I’m retired now! -
We went to Luby’s for supper and discussed the fact that now, if I see something that needs to be done, AND I feel like doing it right then, I can. 🙂
-
Now this is just TOO COOL; Trailer Valet.
My 21′ Sea Ray is just too dang heavy to man-handle by myself, I can move it OK but there is no way I can back it up the drive way. @ $375, a pretty good deal. -
That does look convenient for empty nesters who don’t have their teenagers around to provide some extra muscle when needed.

So, I can’t find (locally) a pill organizer for less than 8/9 dollars.
$9 for an injection molded piece of crap plastic organizer!!!!!!!
no doubt made in China!!!!!! -

In my addled mind, I thought you were somehow tying MHarp to the bowling shoe story.
But I have an excuse – she was wearing bowling shoes the day I met her at The Dome.
Which I thought was somewhat peculiar.
That and the dog collar and tatoos. -
#51 So what did we have for supper? I don’t go to Luby’s a lot, BUTT I do love the fact that I can get two-three veggies with my meat and they have good bread/corn pones. I always hurt myself when I go. 😉

#52: Great Piece of equipment; It kinda wisses me off that I didn’t think of it first.

I have some I like from the pharmacy at Kroger’s. 7-day pills in various sizes, I think they might have been $4 for the largest size compartments. -
I take a few medications, a lot of vitamins, and some other supplements, many of which have to be taken at different times of day. So I use 4 sets of minders for breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime.

I survived my day today. Mom is still in one piece and I’m not in jail. Next Wednesday she goes back to the oral surgeon to have a piece of tooth removed. When it’s gone, and if the itching is still going on, maybe she’ll listen to me about her blood sugar.
Of course, the kidney doctor has upped her diabetes medication, the itching might go away. Right about the time she loses the bad dental stuff.
I guess she won’t. Maybe Wednesday either she or I will be in a better mood.
But tomorrow is my annual mother-daughter day with Lovely! We’ll spend the whole time together, just hanging out and getting some quality time in. I’ve told her that she has permission to bash me if I ever become like my mother, and she basically said “Okay, and I love you!” with a giggle at the end.
I’m reeeeeeally looking forward to tomorrow! -
#55 Shannon
Yeah, and was I ever surprised that you wore your Zorro costume to Tedtam’s spaghetti hoedown! Your wife seemed very nice and normal. 🙂 -
#57 Yup, it’s great because it’s hand cranked. I’ve had several friends in the past that had those gasoline powered tugs that they moved their small planes with but they’re real dang expensive! So thinking about that, I Googled one for a boat and they are too expensive also. The cheapest one that I’ve found is over $800! I can buy a lawn mower with more HP and rear wheel drive for half that. The reason, of course that they sell milloins of mowers but not many powered boat dollies. 🙁

Re: trailers
I am still amazed by Hubby’s ability to hitch a trailer as easily as he does. At a local box store, a trucker watched him maneuver our trailer into place to pick up some materials. The trucker told him he was a natural, and he could earn a living as a trucker without a problem. My man was born behind the wheel, I think. -
Spent most of the afternoon siting on the couch and cleaning up my 30 year old Vibroplex Keyer, aka a “Bug” to CW or morse code operators.
Just finished a nice conversation with a Ham Operator in Florida on CW and he has the same radio (Elecraft KX3). This little thing is smaller than some submarine sandwiches I have consumed and it can only put up about 10 watts into the antenna. This thing is the most fun that I have ever had with a radio and it is truly portable.
I had some insommnia last night and got up around 2 AM and found VI103WIA on the air on 20 meters SSB. VI103WIA is a special commerative station of the Australian Wireless Institute. He told me that my signal was 5×9 (really strong).
Sarge…you should get your ticket and put one of these in your backpack.

Re: Trailer Valet
That’s pretty neat, those electric dolly things the Walmarts have for grocery carts could I bet be rigged up for that but you’d have to keep it charged and prolly are expensive. Me, I just use my Kubota. 😛 -
#64 – cool little rig Simple! (but I’m completely Hamingly challenged – never learned morse)………does that rig come with a mic?…………….and what does acquiring one’s ticket involve?
p.s. did not see a price for the radio either -
67 Katfish
The KX3 does not come with a microphone. It is purchased separately. I have the hand microphone, but I choose to use the boom mike on my Heil Headset. (Ms Simple cannot stand the bleeps – beeps – and high pitch tones that come out of my radios)
There are several Amateur Radio Clubs in the area that will help you get your Ham Ticket. Right now there are four classes of license which span from a simple entry level to the Extra Class ticket that requires engineering level knowlege. Try http://hvra.org
These guys run the fully functional radio station aboard the Battleship Texas, as well as, give classes in electronics and radio restoration.
Sadly, Ham Radio has become an expensive hobby. Home brew rigs are nearly history because the technology has gotten pretty complex. A “dressed out” KX3 will run around $1300. There are more expensive rigs on the market -
67 Katfish
Morse Code is no longer a requirement for a Ham ticket. It was dropped several years ago. I still enjoy using CW and made a promise to myself to brush up for the upcoming annual Amateur Radio Field Day on June 22.
