Love Uncle Miltie. He speaks well enough for himself.
On do-gooders:
On greed:
On collectivism:
Too many millionaires:
That should just about get you started.

Wunner if he’s a drag czarina? -
Good morning, all. I scanned Drudge to see if there was anything worthwhile to comment on. Nope.

Last night Shannon posted this link about “poor aim” when using public facilities. Where I would like to see some change in behavior is in the men’s room. It is beyond outrageous that when there are several urinals on the wall that some miscreant sleaze-ball chooses to go to the toilets and pizz on the seat. A severe beating is called for in such cases so that the said sleaze-ball will never consider doing it again.

Hubby says it’s not really the aim – it’s the splash.
If China can outlaw urine stream splash, they may have something. -
When I saw the phrase ‘uncle Milty’ I was really hoping that we were gonna do this one.

I heard Lance Roberts talking about this yesterday.

From your list:#14 The poverty rate has shot up to 16.1 percent. That is actually higher than when the War on Poverty began in 1965.
IF this is not enough to stop the program then what is? We are sneaking up on 50 years of this experiment and we have more people, as a percentage, in poverty than when we started – izzit safe to say now that the program is an utter failure?

Hubby says it’s not really the aim – it’s the splash.
In technical terms, the human penis has a rifled barrel. That’s what makes it shoot straight, just like a rifle of the firearms variety. There are numerous things which could lead to a degradation of the rifling and therefore lead to more of a shotgun effect on the toilet seat.

Yo Texpat! Does a better example of Benzion’s Iron Law exist?

My understanding is that when the area that became Israel and Jordan was first established as the British Mandate, Balfour Declaration of 1917, there was expressly a set up for Israel to be a state. See the map here. The name ‘palestine’ was given to the region by a conquering Roman general, Hadrian, I think. This was after Jerusalem was destroyed. There never was and still is not an indigenous ‘palestenian’ people, they are ethnic Arabs and Egyptians. There was to be an independent state of Israel and the West Bank and Gaza were Israel the land to the east of the Jordan was to be for the Arabs. When one looks at the bigger picture and just how small the land that Israel currently occupies, particularly relative to the expanse of muzzy dominated lands, that they have to have that spot really is instructive that the muzzy’s simply can not be negotiated with, nor can they be trusted.

16 Boney,
It has been my observation that no one in the middle-east can be trusted. They all lie when it suits them.

#17 There are lots of reasons to be concerned with illegal immigration but that article is full of half truths and untruths and does more damage to the cause. For instance, the bit about receiving food stamps/SNAP/Welfare etc. You cannot receive those benefits without a valid SSN. Illegal immigrants cannot get a valid SSN. That’s not to say that Mocha jesus won’t suspend the law in the future.
If businesses didn’t hire illegals there would be no jobs for them to have and they wouldn’t come here. -

You mean like the one that JugEars has? Just how diligently do they actually check those numbers?

-
Ben AFLAK to play Batman, are you kidding me? I can’t see him in the role and apparently there are “thousands” of others who can not either.
-
I’m not so sure that illegals can’t get or aren’t getting aid. If I remember correctly, the US and Mexico were telling their people how to get benefits when they crossed the border – and those pamphlets were being handed out in Mexico. When my sister was desperate enough to go apply for food stamps (when her hubby was dying of cancer and the medical bills were eating them alive), the case worker told her as much, pointing them out to her.

It’s high time we had a sensitive, intellectual Batman.

I don’t trust gubmint at any level to be verifying eligibility or determining legal status before shoveling out our tax money to anyone who applies. There are just too many instances where welfare is so heavily advertised that it is practically forced on people. -
Simply pathetic. Americans disregard; Fast and Furious, IRS Targeting, Benghazi, Black on White Crime running rampant, NSA spying on us. They are only concerned with who plays as Batman.

#31: from the linkie:
In the episode, Cybill Shepard plays Jolene Castille, a famous southern chef. But instead of making a racial slur, like Deen, she guns down an unarmed, hoodie-wearing black teen she thought was following her on the Upper West Side, mirroring the Trayvon Martin slaying.
What a bunch of flat out racist crapola! If she shot the miscreant while he was on top of her trying to rape and/or beat the schizzle out of her then it would be a mirror; otherwise it is nothing but race bating divisive garbage. The show should be watched only so that the advertisers could be targeted.

You know those engineering types. It’ll take six months to reach a consensus and a year to wrIte the report. Then the suits will release it at the most politically opportune moment. -
#34 Hamous: Guilty on all charges. It took more than 20 minutes to determine that which is surprising. The punishment phase begins on Monday, what would the deliberations sound like:
*Death by firing squad
-maybe but only after dipping the bullets in pigs blood.
*Death by hanging
– only with a rope made from pig leather
*Feed his miserable carcass to the pigs after he is dead
– why wait till then, why not now? -
There should now be no reason to not classify it as a terrorist attack.
Reasons why this will not likely happen:
*Bronco would hafta admit that he was wrong
*The service personnel and their families will be getting retroactive pay and awards because it will change their status. This will mean that some small form of justice will go to the troops and JugEars simply will not allow that.
*there is not enough money to pay for the above, there is however, enough to pay for big shot big time concerts at the white house on a weekly or greater frequency. $100MILLION/year entertainment expenses.
*It would indicate that AlQueerda has not been “decimated” and is still alive and well.
I will leave it to y’all to fill in the rest of the reasons. -
#19 – If you study, you will find that the mooselums cannot lie to each other but they are obligated to lie to the infidels, even when the truth might sound better (see numerous statements by Muslum Brotherhood leader B. Obama for examples).
As to Major Nasan, truly wants to be sentenced to death so that he can laugh at the stupid appeals processes for the next 20 years while demanding treatment according to Sharia law while on death row. You can bet he will crap his pants just like the rest of them when they finally send in the extraction team though. -
#19, 47: The muzzies practice a concept called taqiyya, which is deceiving the infidel to further the goals of islime or to simply make a profit. For a muzzie to lie to an infidel is not a sin, in their world view. For the observant Jew, to bear false witness against a neighbor breaks one of the BIG 10, and is to be avoided. A reasonable exception is in time of war and one is being interrogated for military information.
For the Christians, it is a sin to lie for the same reason it is for the Jew.
The lack of knowledge and understanding of what islime actually is, what it teaches, in both the medina and mecca verses, is the root of our problems with those of that faith.
That lack of knowledge and understanding is actively, vigorously promoted by the muzzies as an act of war as they are in dar al harb or world at war. -
I don’t believe there will ever be another Republican president, but if there is one, perhaps he/she will be able to reclassify it as a terrorist attack.

It’s a shame, but then there too many shameful things in this world today.
When Seth Lipsky ran The Forward back in the 1990s, the article you link would never have made it into print. Seth met and married the amazing Amity Schlaes, had some kids, quit the Forward and founded the late, great New York Sun, sold on the streets of Manhattan like an old fashioned tabloid, yet great conservative journalism. It’s still online and Lipsky writes and edits for many.
Unfortunately, we’ll always have the reflexively shallow and intellectually lazy commenters like Simple Simon who really have nothing of substance to say so
they throw in something like,It has been my observation that no one in the middle-east can be trusted. They all lie when it suits them.
Those damn Jews lie just like all those camel jockey ragheads do.

Scientists are adding a fourth half to the half-man, half-bear, half-pig. The fourth half will be half-aardvark. Manbearpigaardvark. So sayeth Al Gore:
In a interview Wednesday, Gore was quoted as saying, “the fingerprint of man-made global warming is all over” storms like hurricanes.“The extreme events are more extreme. The hurricane scale used to be 1-5 and now they’re adding a 6.”
Gore’s Cabin Boy has quickly fallen on his sword for the Lispy One:
But this was also a segment of the interview in which I remembered struggling to keep up with Gore, and when that happens, some nuance can get lost. (A note on methods: In most cases, including this one, I transcribe these interviews in real time, with a tape recorder as back-up. I also, as is always mentioned in the introduction to the interviews, lightly edit for length, clarity, and redundancy).
I’m out-of-town and so away from my tape recorder. So I asked Gore’s staff about the line and they have Gore saying:“The scientists are now adding category six to the hurricane…some are proposing we add category 6 to the hurricane scale that used to be 1-5. “
That doesn’t offend my memory of the discussion and it’s entirely possible I missed Gore’s qualifying sentence while trying to keep up. If so, that’s my fault, and I apologize.
Is it the full moon that’s made the world more bat-s**t crazy this week?

Good evening Hamsters. Started off at a sorta comfortable 72 and went downhill from there regarding rain chances, which were nada today. The farrier (horse shoer) arrived at 1 and left at 4, all that time spent in the barn in the heat. Thermometers in the front and back yards insisted it was only 92 and 35% humidity, but today it felt unbearably hot. All the fans were going above the stalls, and a large fan on wheels was going in the aisle, aimed at the horse, farrier, and me or spouse holding the horse. Even a breeze now and then didn’t help much.
Everybody was dripping except the horses. In between shoeing horses we all took a beverage break for bottled water or Gatorade. I had to go in the house for a bit to cool off and came back with a small pail of cool water and a washcloth for the farrier to wipe his face and arms–which helped. Went back for more after the second horse and this time I put ice cubes in the water to get it colder. When the last horse was finished we sat on the back porch, in a breeze, and had tall glasses of peach tea while we did the bill and made the next appointment. Have not totally recovered much energy yet.
Off to watch the Packers game and have more tea. -
48 Boney,
It has been my observation that the Ten Commandments is not much of an impediment these days for Christians or Jews.
One must swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth S.H.M.G. with the right hand on the Bible, but you do know what the nickname for the downtown family court building is don’t you? (Hint: The Perjury Palace)
In the middle-east, it is best to believe nothing your hear and half of what you see.

Texpat,
You wrote:Those damn Jews lie just like all those camel jockey ragheads do.
I have never used epithets like that in my life. I am sorry that the simplicity of my remarks offend you, but as an engineer I have found that too much verbage often confuses the reader.
Simple -
For the observant Jew, to bear false witness against a neighbor breaks one of the BIG 10, and is to be avoided. A reasonable exception is in time of war and one is being interrogated for military information.
For the Christians, it is a sin to lie for the same reason it is for the Jew.Perhaps I should have bolded the key word in the original, and the same word applies to the Christians. There are many who may claim the title “Jew” but there are not that many who are genuinely observant, ie, they actually live it. Ditto that for Christians.

I don’t dispute anything you write in #61.

This is stealing, HOWEVER, I think the homeowner is not gonna get too bent out of shape about it.
Our subdivision has a 150 acre lake in it, when the Magnolia area was on fire a couple years ago helicopters were coming in to dip out of it. On the final couple days when resources finally built up enough to attack the fires with vigor, it sounded like a war zone in here with all the low flying choppers. And no, not a peep was heard about scavenging water from our already very low lake level.
