Let’s see how big you people’s vocabulary is.
I apparently know about 85% of the words in the English language. -

Good morning Hamsters. Onto the warming trend for a few days, 54 and light ground fog at 6, condensation on everything outside but not heavy so far. Nice to turn off the heat.

Maybe Wendy can send some of her campaign advisors to Sandra since they are obviously winners. 🙂 -
On the basis of your results, we estimate you know 91% of the English words.
You said yes to 91% of the existing words.
You said yes to 0% of the nonwords.
I had to switch to IE because it turned out Chrome was hung on some stupid question about geolocation. -
During the “colden times”, I got way behind on shopping. I am simply unwilling to go out when the air temp is less than 45 degrees, unless I have no choice. Husband has no such rule and cheerfully volunteers to run errands for me. Some things he can do — he loves to go to the bank, and several times a year I get a stupid check for something like $12.32 — insurance refunds for overpayment of some medical thing or another. I hate to go to the bank even for things that matter, but don’t want to NOT deposit an insurance check. But if I am out of bananas, he can’t help. 🙂
I am planning to substitute a slew of errands for my exercise set this morning, so once I finish my breakfast and logout, I’ll be away for a long time. -

She used to think so. Whoohoo it was a zoo when we monkeyed around.

Do you think that the inJustice Department may be getting fearful of pushing their agenda too far?
HEADLINE: Executive privilege fight may loom in Breitbart case
/snip
“[T]he Government confirmed this week that it intends to assert ‘executive privilege’ and ‘deliberative process privilege’ objections as purported grounds for withholding at least some documents and information from both the USDA and the EOP [Executive Office of the President],” wrote Mark Bailen, an attorney for Breitbart employee Larry O’Connor.
However, a Justice Department spokesperson said Thursday afternoon that the government had not reached any conclusions about how to respond to subpoenas served in connection with the case.
“Contrary to what the letter asserts, the department has not made any decisions about what privileges to assert in this ongoing matter,” the spokesperson said.
/snip
Leon also suggested he might look skeptically on such a claim in a case where political sensitivities, rather than national security concerns, were at stake. “I am not sure the D.C. Circuit has ever recognized that as a sufficient basis for an executive privilege claim, political embarrassment, to spare the White House political embarrassment,” he said.The racist dirt bag Shirley Sherrod is suing Breitbart’s widow.

I quickly discovered I was working for an agency whose morale was among the lowest in the U.S. government. In private, most TSA officers I talked to told me they felt the agency’s day-to-day operations represented an abuse of public trust and funds.
Charges of racial profiling by the TSA made headlines every few months, and working from behind the scenes we knew what was prompting those claims.
Until 2010 (not long after the TSA standard operating procedure manual was accidentially leaked to the public), all TSA officers worked with a secret list printed on small slips of paper that many of us taped to the back of our TSA badges for easy reference: the Selectee Passport List. It consisted of 12 nations that automatically triggered enhanced passenger screening. The training department drilled us on the selectee countries so regularly that I had memorized them, like a little poem…Very worthwhile read by a former TSA worker over at Politico Magazine.

Radley Balko at Reason.com called this “an early contender for worst opinion piece of the year”.
I couldn’t agree more.

This is a horrible, pathetic proposal by Rosenbaum. It is prima facie nonsense and one more effort to infantilize this society. Rosenbaum’s idea is insulting to the intelligence and resilience of all Americans. -
“Party Packs” for the Super Bowl include hookers & cocaine.
Meanwhile, a suspicious white powder has been found in three nearby hotels. I guess the hookers got sloppy. -
Jim Lindgren at the Volokh Conspiracy which is now, amazingly, hosted by the Washington Post:
Not surprisingly, there is no statistically significant left-right political differences in the proportion of adopted or step-families that are in mixed race households. Indeed, among families with step-children or adopted children, 11 percent of conservatives were living in mixed race households compared to 10 percent of liberals living in mixed-race households.
Similarly, 9.4 percent of Republicans living in step- or adopted families were in mixed-race households, compared to only 8.8 percent of Democrats in such families. (Again, this small advantage for Republicans is not large enough to be statistically significant).
If one breaks things down further by both party and political orientation, only 7.7 percent of liberal Democrats and 3.6 percent of moderate Democrats lived in mixed-race adopted or step-households, compared to an insignificantly different 10.6 percent of conservative Republicans. -
#26,
There are times I read an editorial and have to wonder if the writer really believes the crap they are spewing or if they’re just writing something to generate controversy. I’m afraid this Rosenbaum clown actually believes limiting free speech is a good idea. I’m stunned. -

With your infatuation with the toaster “grilled” cheese sammich and other highly processed foods, I’d have had you pegged as “processed cheeze food”.

During this week’s State of the Union address, the President of the United States concluded his remarks telling the story of Sgt. 1st Class Cory Remsburg. Sgt. Remsburg, on his 10th tour in Afghanistan, nearly lost his life when a roadside bomb exploded.
Sgt. Remsburg suffered brain damage and paralysis on his left side, is now partially blind and has difficulty speaking. It was a touching ending to an otherwise shabby speech. More striking than President Obama’s tribute was the press corps’ reaction. NBC News Senior Political Editor Mark Murray declared on twitter that, “Obama’s ending on Remsburg wasn’t just a story about America — it also was a story about Obama. Nothing has ever come easy.”Excuse me for a moment while I go puke my guts out.

You’re cheese. You go well with almost anything. Sometimes you’re a little nerdy, but you’re wise. You can appreciate things that are both highbrow and lowbrow. And in the end, you make a lot of people happy.Does that sound like “processed cheeze food” ???

If any of you remember, we had a young man stay with us briefly and visit here on LST one night while home on leave. He’s about to finish up at West Point, and announced on FB that he’s going to Ft. Benning, then he’ll be stationed in South Korea. He’s joking about being “posted” to North Korea. Then he shared this little gem of wit:
in other news anything can be a mine detector once
My prayers go with him as he starts off on this new journey in life.

#36 Sarge,
That is just way too cool! If I was more of a 6-string enthusiast I would definitely pick one of those up. Being more the 4-string type of guy though, I’m thinking my next purchase is going to be a new SG bass. -
Remember all the hand-wringing over high fructose corn syrup? Yeah, well never mind.
-
I don’t play, but would buy one if I had a grand laying around getting moldy.

Didn’t anyone else take either of the quizs that were posted today? BTW, both SD and Squawks took the food quiz and were scored as sushi.

Heh, so Nostrilitis Waxman isn’t happy about the Tea Party.
Far-left congressman from California, Henry Waxman, a 40-year House veteran, announced his retirement Wednesday, blaming the pro-constitution, limited government Tea Party movement.
“It’s been frustrating because of the extremism of Tea Party Republicans,” said Waxman. “Nothing seems to be happening.” Waxman may have forgotten about Obamacare, which is a takeover of 1/6 of the American economy, placing the nation’s healthcare system under control of politicians and bureaucrats.
Waxman joins a growing surge of democrats who have recently announced that they will not seek re-election.–

Yes I did the language quiz and scored an embarrassing 76.
I correctly recognized all the non-words.
But thought I saw trick words that should have been two separate words.
I was moving through it pretty fast. That’s Mom’s fault for sending me to speed reading.
That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. -
What was the other quiz?
-
I took both quizzes, 78 on the vocabulary and I think the one word/two word thing got me. It turns out I am a burrito, for whatever that is worth.
-
Oh. I didn’t do the food quiz.
But I’m a banana. -
#36 Sarge:
If Gibson really wants to build a “government guitar” they need to build it so that it never plays exactly in tune, it only works part of the time, only puts out half of the signal of a regular guitar, and costs 3 times as much. Also, when you walk into a music store theres a guy there who forces you to buy the guitar, whether you want it or not (and regardless of whether you can play a guitar). He will threaten to fine you or throw you in jail if you don’t buy it. -
Oh, and I scored a 90 on the vocabulary quiz. In other news, apparently I’m a burrito. (All beef of course!) 🙂

Who the heck is Benedict Cumberbatch?

So there, GJT. -

He’s an Englishman actor. -
Hamous he played Khan in the latest Star Trek movie. He is also the star of the BBC rehash of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock. I highly reccommend both. Sherlock just entered its 3rd season which typically consist of only 3 or 4 ninety minute episodes. They had to delay this season by approx a year because Cumberbatch was filming Star Trek and the guy that plays Watson plays a role in the Hobbit movies.
-
I still like this version though. It ran from 1984 – 1994.

Super Dave, Squawk, and I are triplets.
It just shows to go ya’ that the quiz was retarded, as I’m pretty sure that Hambone, Squawk and I don’t eat “Fish Bait”. That said, there were several questions that didn’t have an answer that would fit me, so I stretched it a bit. IE, no song or celebrity that would work, not to mention what you do in your spare time or how you were in high school.
BTW: Did Lincoln eat “Fish Bait”? 😉 -

“The ferry boat at the crossing on the Bellville-Hempstead road is practically complete. It was turned this week and the cable is stretched. The banks are being put in order as fast as their wet, sloppy condition will permit. Traffic should be opened across the river within the next week. The boat is said to be the largest and best boat ever installed in the Brazos in this county. It will accommodate two teams and and wagons on each trip. –Bellville Times, 1-29-1914

Shannon you really had me going for a sec. I even glanced down at the date and saw the “1-29”, but I did not notice the 1914.

Super Dave and Hamous: Did y’all read the link on #22 about making water from the raw materials on the moon and oxygen from the CO2 on Mars? Is there any water on the moon, if yes in what concentrations? How much energy will it take to liberate enough to use?
I seem to recall someone telling me that the moon rocks brought back were lacking water; perhaps I misunderstood. -
Okay, I took the other quiz.
I’m sushi. With banana. -
“Oh. I didn’t do the food quiz.
But I’m a banana.”
