The next time you encounter one of these smug, unctuous Libertarians who name drops Ayn Rand or cites Objectivism as authorities for “isolationism” or “non-interventionism”, read them this quote from Rand’s book,The Virtue of Selfishness.
A nation, like any other group, is only a number of individuals and can have no rights other than the rights of its individual citizens. A free nation—a nation that recognizes, respects and protects the individual rights of its citizens—has a right to its territorial integrity, its social system and its form of government. The government of such a nation is not the ruler, but the servant or agent of its citizens and has no rights other than the rights delegated to it by the citizens for a specific, delimited task (the task of protecting them from physical force, derived from their right of self-defense) …
Such a nation has a right to its sovereignty (derived from the rights of its citizens) and a right to demand that its sovereignty be respected by all other nations…
Dictatorship nations are outlaws. Any free nation had the right to invade Nazi Germany and, today, has the right to invade Soviet Russia, Cuba or any other slave pen. Whether a free nation chooses to do so or not is a matter of its own self-interest, not of respect for the nonexistent “rights” of gang rulers. It is not a free nation’s duty to liberate other nations at the price of self-sacrifice, but a free nation has the right to do it, when and if it so chooses.

I’m sure this was posted earlier but it needs to be discussed further. It is not much of a step between the death panels on Ocare and the death test in the linked article above. How much more of a step would it be to go to Dr assisted suicide then to forced euthanasia. -
Are those meat thermometers in the OC pic? Or those plastic flutes that elementary school kids had to learn to play in the olden times?

Well, I’m ready to add (self-proclaimed) certified refrigerator repair man to my resume. I noticed that the fridge wasn’t cooling properly on the non-freezer side, and the freezer itself seemed to not be doing right either, so my internet search led me to conclude that the air diffuser between the freezer and the fresh food side was stuck in the closed position. This one is a simple, plastic mechanical vent with louvers (less than 2″ long and 1″ wide) that sits in a rectangular hole in the top rear wall which separates the two sides. Of course, in order to get to it, everything has to be removed from the fridge, then the ice maker and the gear box for the ice dispenser and a panel on the freezer side, and a few pieces on the fridge side – all this to unclip the air diffuser from the back side and not break off the little clips that hold it in place. I finally got it out, cycled it a couple of times, and reinstalled it – it may have just been frozen in place but I never figured out why it wasn’t working as it worked fine once I got it out. Put everything (well most of it) back together, plugged it in, and went to bed. This morning, the ice maker was working, the freezer was working, and the fridge portion seemed to be properly cooling once again. For someone like me, that’s about as good as it can get.

Students at Berkeley Angry: No Trannies Made Raphael’s School of Athens!
Rodrigo Kazuo and Meg Perret found their classroom environment at Berkeley hostile, even when their professor was lecturing on Karl Marx (!), because the Western canon is exclusively composed of works by dead, white, European males, not a single person of color or transgendered individual makes the cut.

By gosh we need German judges in our court system. I refuse to be domesticated.
/I need to reopen LST. It was stories like this that made us a literary juggernaut.Todays poll question is
Are you a
1. stehpinkler
or
2. sitzpinkler
or
3. undecidedA Victory for the Right to Pee Standing Up
Thursday brought an advance in the cause of standing up to pee. A judge in the German city of Duesseldorf ruled in favor of a man suing his landlord for a full refund of his security deposit, which had been partially withheld because the marble floor of the tenant’s bathroom had been damaged by uric acid, presumably from the errant urine of an upright person relieving himself.
“Someone who still practices this previously dominant custom is regularly confronted with significant disputes, particularly with female cohabitants,” Judge Stefan Hank observed, according to AFP. “However normally he must not reckon with damage to the marble floor of a bathroom or guest toilet.”
“Despite the increasing domestication of men in this area, urinating while standing up is indeed still common practice,” Hank added.
Why, you might ask, is the judge referring to men urinating while standing up as a fading social phenomenon—a “previously dominant custom” undermined by the “increasing domestication of men?”
Apparently this debate has been raging for sometime
The dispute in Duesseldorf is actually part of a long-running debate in Germany over whether men should be encouraged to sit down when urinating. The controversy pits stehpinklers (men who stand up to pee) against sitzpinklers (men who sit down), and it has taken some bizarre twists over the years. In 2004, for example, The Telegraph reported that sitzpinkler had become a synonym for “wimp,” and that a company had invented a gadget that attached to toilets and scolded stehpinklers when they lifted the seat. One admonition, in a voice mimicking that of former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, declared, “Hey, stand-peeing is not allowed here and will be punished with fines, so if you don’t want any trouble, you’d best sit down.” Millions of the devices had been sold in German supermarkets.

#28: Limbaugh would call them “the new castrati”. I think the term is accurate as those so afflicted either have no testicles or those that they may have are defective/useless.
On a personal note: on my first date with my future wife (20 years and counting) she told me she did not care if I left the seat up or down, and cast aspersions at those wimminzes who did.
Oh yeah, I got a winner:>) -

RE: toilet seat
I didn’t think the toilet seat thing was a big deal. Until I wandered into the bathroom one night, very groggy and half awake, and sat down…and fell in.
Guys, it’s totally up to you and your wimminzes how you handle (or don’t handle) the toilet seat, but if you love your wives, at least try to put it down in the evening before going to bed. The scream you avoid may be your wife’s.

Oh, and I think I got Sunshine to say “I love you” today. The girl is stingy with her kisses and lovin’, so getting her to say it is a big deal. We took the girls to the campus at A&M today, and Sunshine enjoyed watching the Foucalt Pendulum swinging. I took her outside for a walk, and she had a great time greeting the Aggies and walking up and down steps. We had a picnic and she made friends with some maintenance people and a few more students. The poor thing crashed out in the car. They’re both down for naps, so I’m trying to get some bookkeeping done while all is quiet.
Ssshhh!

What did you guys miss? The part about being groggy and half asleep? And personally, I don’t turn on the lights at night, I destroy my night vision and end up with a stubbed toe or some such.
Chivalry is dead.
-
What did you guys miss? The part about being groggy and half asleep?
That excuse never works for me. BSue still gets all wrapped around the axel if my aim is bad at 3AM or I forget to put the lid seat down. At least I remember to lift the lid. And lights….. she wakes up when i close the door and the light shines under the door. Menz can’t win for losin.

Hey we still open doors for youse guys, it’s high time you operate your own toilet seat.

Balloons are not good either. Eventually they deflate, drift to earth or water, and may harm wildlife that can swallow bits of rubber or plastic.

It’s your butt.
You have it within you to ensure its dryness in the middle of the night.

Good idea! Bring your spring cleaning supplies and we’ll get an early start this year. I must confess I’ve let lots of things go during the last year and a half, while getting my store-bought knees installed.

I can empathize. 2014 was a bad year for maintenance and cleaning around our place.
We have a betting pool on whether the house will outlast us or just cave in first. -
Yikes, this is going to leave a mark.

Started coming down heavy an hour ago. We already had about 8 inches on the ground so 24 to 36 more with near gale force winds is gonna bury everything.
Winds could reach 65 mph tonight. I just pray this farkakte electrical system holds and we don’t lose power.

I’ve never understood the toilet seat whine. I think it’s pretty chivalrous of us to lift the seat up in the first place. Who wants to sit down on a pee-splattered toilet seat?
But I’ve found a solution to assure you bossy wimmens that the toilet seat is down. Sort of.
-
And what about when wimminz leave the seat up after cleaning and this poor guy goes in in the middle of the night and falls in…Huh? HUH??
-
I’ve never understood the toilet seat whine.
That’s cause you have never been married. Get married and I promise you that one of the first barn burners you will have early on is over the toilet seat.

Was there ever a better toy invented for the men folk than a chain saw?

I don’t doubt it, but I still won’t understand. Of all the things we men do they could whine about that seems pretty unimportant. And after all, it’s their fault to begin with. One of the first things our mommies taught us when they were potty training us was to make sure to lift the seat up before we peed. Make up your danged minds! Do you want it up or down???

……..it takes EGGZACHRY the same amount of energy to put she seat down as it does to lift it…………..
As I recall Yall wanted EQUALITY – well VOILA! 🙂

Never seen so many stock trailers in my travels as I have today.
Must be a lot of sifting going on with the livestock show coming up. -
It’s so cute, watching Sunshine “help” Mommy fold the clothes…I remember (and miss) those days. /sigh

Then again it could be this is the first time in a while it’s MAYBE dry enough to get to the pens to load up cattle for any reason.

Close the lid then both are equally inconvenienced.

They used to do all the hog and lamb sifting – and I mean all – at the Washington County Fairgrounds there in Brenham 2 or 3 weeks before the Stock Show started.
-
Wimminzes need to resign themselves to knowing that once in a while menz will leave the toilet seat up.
That’s because most of us menz have resigned ourselves to knowing that wimminzes will never, ever notice the times we put them down.
-
Understand Katfish, wagonburner’s toilet seats are made of lead.
-
Maybe he has a bowflex toilet seat that provides active resistance going down and up.
-
I would like to see the terlit seats in public restrooms spring loaded, so that they always stayed up. That way the wretched miscreant SOBs who don’t lift the seat will have to work harder to pizz onit.

We’ve had some doozies up here including a nor’easter in February 2013 that dumped about 18 inches in a few hours.
But I’ve never before seen the mayor of NYC and the governors of Connecticut and Massachusetts close ALL roadways indefinitely except for emergency vehicles.
January 16th was the 12th anniversary of my arriving in the NYC metro area.

Cane sugar Dr Pepper is back. Not the Dublin plant, though. My brother has his deer processed at Midway in Katy. He found the stuff there and bought some. Can says it is bottled by local bottlers for the Pepsi bottling group. I wonder why they couldn’t just let the Dublin plant do it again.

I hear a lot of original music on Alvin CC radio. They have no DJs (yea!) so the name of the song or band is never announced. At least on the weekends when I hear it while passing through. Sometimes I manage to remember enough of the lyrics to Google it. Luckily ZZ Ward was one. She looks very young for the sound she has. Hope she keeps doing it for a long time.

Responding to statements made by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi–who would not say at her press briefing last week if a 20-week-old unborn child is a “human being”–Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco said that it is a “scientific fact that human life begins at conception” and that “no Catholic can dissent in good conscience” from Church teaching on the sanctity of life.

Just saw some of Sarah Palin’s speech in Iowa over the weekend. God bless her, I like her, but she ain’t presidential material.

#87 – I haven’t seen anyone yet step forward who is presidential material. Recent occupants of that office may have proved that we don’t actually need one though.

ZZ Ward sounds a lot like Adelle. Nice.

Presidential material? First of all no one has officially stepped into the abyss yet. Yet I am find myself curious about what your definition of presidential material is.

#87 Hammy
she ain’t presidential material.
Michael Medved played some clips from her speech. He said there was a problem with her teleprompter which resulted in a poor performance. What l heard sounded screechy and dreadful.
-
She is just as much presidential material as the next guy. Can she get elected? No, but she is presidential material.

I’m for Scott Walker until I change my mind.

They sell the cane sugar Coke at a Bellville taco stand.

Dang, how many babies is she planning for? 🙂 -
Constitutionally, she could be elected president because:
a) she’s a natural born U.S. citizen.
b) she’s at least 35 years of age.
c) she lived in the United States for at least 14 years.She is not someone I would vote for to lead the country. Hence, in my opinion, she is not presidential material.

Turns out that plastic flute was called the TONETTE. My husband remembered its name right away when I mentioned it. He agrees that it was a “recorder”.

Dr. Pepper was actually invented during the CivilWar by a Yankee from New Hampshire. It’s a conspiracy to cause diabetes and chronic diarrhea in Southern men.

At least Coke was invented in Georgia.
