Non sequitur in the morning, Hamsterville!

Hey.
Next time you guys get a late start on the OT, Ben K has got the perfect excuse for you. -
Hey Squawk! Peter better bring his A game. Guess who’s back.

Hammy
Oh yeah he’s got game…… -
Here Hamsters this is for you. This is from the kinder sweeter gentler reformed me.

I wonder what the moron in the o/c pic is going to think in 6 months or so when he sees that idiotic tattoo while he is sober??

Good morning Hamsters. Delightful 50 at 6, plenty of dew covering all overnight, glorious sparkles grace the yard and pastures as it warms and ascends skyward. Another beautiful day beckons.
On a completely opposite note, Laura Ingraham today commented on the Obamacare rollout mega debacle rumbling along destroying everything it touches. She says all those folk trying to access the website to check it out or even actually sign up for a policy who become totally frustrated can try the phone call avenue. And that would be 1-800-FU.
Howled over that when I heard it, right on the mark.
The IT dupes who are trying to maintain a shred of dignity testifying before Congress today are not doing well apparently. They have no case to defend, and the Congresspersons asking the questions are well prepared. It remains to be seen if this is shades of the Charge of the Light Brigade. 🙂 -
Navy sells 1st supercarrier, USS Forestall, to scrappers for ONE PENNY. Dya think that maybe they could have gotten just a bit more for that vessel, seeing as how much steel is innit? Classic example of obscene governmental waste.

Maybe them bra burning hussies were onto something after all.
BTW this guy says that the “bra burning” was a media myth.
/Wished I had enough snap to get a government grant to do this study
Best line in the story.The results of a mammoth 15-year study led by professor Jean-Denis Rouillon

#11 Squawk: You may still be in luck; according to your link:
Ultimately, however, he feels his work is not complete, since the findings are not definitive.
“We will simply have to recruit a larger sample of the female population, and conduct further research,” Rouillon added.I wonder how many volunteer “researchers” he will get to help him in his research?

Morning all
“You can’t handle the truth. We live in a world of decline and chaos. Some men will have to stand for order. Who’s going to do that? You? >looks at Boomer aunt< You Alinsky-Marxist? I have a greater responsibility of providing tax dollars for your government checks and producing children who won't be f#*king psychos than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Trayvon and curse the successful businessman! You have that luxury. You have that luxury of being brainwashed to believe lies. You don't know what I know. While that future career criminal's death is tragic, it probably saved lives, and my existence while grotesque and incomprehensible to your Starbucks sipping *ss, produces order and security. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at '80s dance parties you WANT me to be successful, you NEED me to be successful. We use words like God, tradition, family. We use them as the backbone of a life spent building civilization. You use 'em as a snarky punchline! I have neither the time nor inclination to explain myself to a man who eats and sleeps with my tax money and in my safe neighborhoods and then criticizes the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you and went back to playing video games! Otherwise, get a job and stop living off others. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!"

I’ve seen two videos so far, pointing out reasons why the fainting lady at the Rose Garden press conference was staged. The second explanation video was more convincing than the first, showing her “friend” by her side was eyeballing and communicating with someone in the audience just before she nudged the pregnant lady to start “fainting”.
Even if it wasn’t staged, it says something about the fact that this doesn’t seem beyond this president, to have props like this to prop up his image and his projects. -
and her rolling pin . . .
Well sorta not. She has other ways to express her displeasure like supper as in “fix it yourself” or “So you like XYZ they can fix it for you.”
-
Oh and after marrying that dear lady twice, she KNOWS I ain’t going no where. 🙂

Thanks anyway, I think I’ll stick to living in the present. With pants or shorts, not skirts.

One word, my friends: RINOlution.
As a result, Lee’s approval ratings in Utah have cratered, and prominent Republicans and local business executives are openly discussing the possibility of mounting a primary challenge against him. Top Republicans are also maneuvering to redesign the party’s nomination system in a way that would likely make it more difficult for Lee to win reelection in 2016…
Spencer Zwick, a Utah native and national finance chairman for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, was more direct, calling Lee a “show horse” who “just wants to be a spectacle.”
“Business leaders that I talk to, many of whom supported him, would never support his reelection and in fact will work against him, myself included,” Zwick said…
“You don’t have ideological wack-jobs,” [former Utah Gov. Jon] Huntsman said. “For all of its labeling as a red state, underneath it all Utah is a pretty pragmatic Western state, a just-get-it-done ethos.”There’s a lot going on here. One: Whatever you think of Lee’s “defund” strategy, he’s not just a “show horse.” Last month he introduced a credible tax reform plan to help the middle class that was widely well received by conservative wonks. One of the misfortunes of “defund” is that it sucked away some deserved attention Lee might have gotten for that proposal. Two: Not all of this is local Utah politics. As Erika noted the other day, business interests nationally are quietly organizing to target populist Republicans who were willing to risk an economic hit from a shutdown in the name of waging a broader ideological battle. John McCain, in fact, admitted that it was business groups that have been urging him to run again in 2016, knowing that he’ll be a bulwark against the populists in the Senate. Utah is one front in a wider war. Three: Some of this is local Utah politics. It was Bob Bennett, remember, who was ousted in the first big grassroots tea-party coup against longtime GOP incumbents in 2010. Mike Lee is the guy who replaced him. Establishment figures in Utah, whether out of disdain for Lee’s style, friendship with Bennett, or pique at having lost their pipeline to influence in Congress might be looking for revenge. Knocking off the man who knocked off Bennett and replacing him with someone more centrist would be a huge symbolic victory for the establishment both in Utah and nationally.
But how will they do it? Aha:Even before the shutdown brought Mr. Lee to national prominence, some Utah party and business leaders had begun a $1 million petition drive to overturn the state’s caucus system that brought him to power. That system, which gives grass roots delegates a large say in picking party nominees, toppled incumbent GOP Sen. Robert Bennett —a more conventional conservative—in 2010 amid a wave of anger over passage of the health-care law. Mr. Lee went on to win the seat that November…
Republican circles are now rife with talk of who might challenge Mr. Lee in 2016. So far, no one is firmly raising a hand. But the Count My Vote initiative to do away with the state’s caucus system, backed by many of the state’s largest GOP donors and business names, represents perhaps the best-organized effort in the country to counteract the tea-party wave in the 2010 elections.
Mr. Lee could face a tougher route to re-election in 2016 if GOP caucuses are replaced with a direct primary. That would allow a more centrist candidate to make an appeal to all Republican voters, not just the activists who dominate caucuses, political observers say.The RINO push back seems serious. What worries me most is, according to his post, Lee’s lack of popular support. If Utah’s populace cannot or will not sustain a Mike Lee than that’ll be a bad sign of the political thinking of this nation.
Newest GOP primary target: Mike Lee? -
New Jersey A$$HOLE D (but I repeat myself) slams the hearings into the Ocare exchange rollout debacle, calling it a Monkey Court.
$4-600 MILLION and 3 years for a website that does not even function most of the time, and when it does fails to protect your personally identifiable info, or any other info specifically required under HIPPA, sends incorrect info to the insurance companies and produced higher prices than that which people could get by simply picking up the phone. Can you imagine the outrage ifn an R had been behind this? Even Debbie What-a-skank Schmuck want a delay in the implementation because it is such a disaster. -
I had a rough day, starting with my first PT session at 9 am. When unwrapped, my leg sprang a new small bleed from an area that had never bled before. Got that patched up, was tormented with an hour of painful exercises, PT decided my calf was more swollen than it should be and sent me to the orthopedist for a look. From there I was sent to the lab for an ultrasound on the left leg. Nothing was found but I ended up exhausted and hungry — but nauseated too. It’s hard to eat properly.

22 Hamous,
Most Marines HATE the barracks cover and opt to wear the “piss” cover instead. The latter resembles an old time soda jerks white hat.
The Visor and Leather Strap on the Barracks cover has to be spit shined and that shine lasts about 5 minutes once you step out into full sunlight.
A black beret was rejected as a replacement in the early 70’s and it was popular with the young Marines, but tradition ruled the day and we kept the hated barracks cover.
FWIW….the new barracks cover does look feminine and I believe it will be rejected.
Also FWIW …SgtMajor Dan Daly won the Medal of Honor twice. Once during the Boxer Rebellion in Peking and then later in WW1. Dan Daly is attributed with stepping up from the trenches and leading a charge to the German lines and over running their defenses. As he cleared the trench..he said to his men, ” Do you want to live forever?”.
There was one other Marine who won the Medal of Honor twice. That was Major Smedley Butler. My hero..General Chesty Puller won the Navy Cross five times along with a Distinguished Service Cross.
You just don’t pluck men like them off of the tree in the back yard.
