Does anyone have a link of Fox news last night where The Cruzatola took Megyn Kelly to task? I just heard about it on the radio.

Big news in the oil patch this morning. Schlumberger buys Cameron for $12.7B. It’s a Schlumberger Halliburton world.

Or $14.8B depending on the source.I think that was for the High Test.
The $12.7B was for Regular.

Can I still get my windows squeegeed if I just go for the regular?

I bet there’s a whole generation of people who wouldn’t know what you meant by high test, and even fewer have ever heard ethyl.

I think you can only get your windows squeegeed by the scabbone on the corner.

My dad still uses the term “high test”. Gets him funny looks sometimes.

I heard a girl named Ethyl once upon a time.
Oh but boy do i remember the strain of her refrain
And the nights we spent together
And the way she called my name -
Being drugstore brats, my brother and I should have thought of this a long time ago.

I saw that story weeks ago, and I agree – it’s a great idea. For a while, Hubby was on a confusing regimen of pills. He depended upon me to break out his dosages into a series of morning/lunch/evening pill boxes for him. I had to keep referring to a chart that I had to create to keep them straight. This service would have been a godsend.

The link that originated this story comes from a lady who’s constantly putting up conspiracy crap on another web site all. the. time.
I’m sure she has a whole wardrobe of tinfoil apparel.

From Salena Zito at the Pittsburgh Tribune:
For some reality:
First: it’s early. We have no idea what the field is going to look like in January when the first caucus and primary votes are cast… and certainly no idea what it will look like by the time primary races matter in February and March.
Second: there is always an insurgency candidate who early-on captures the imagination of voters and the press… until competition, the candidate’s own behavior and public scrutiny brings them back down to earth.
The only populist candidate ever to really capitalize on voters’ discontent and win the presidency was Andrew Jackson.
That was 1828.

The Old Liberty Pole
The first San Jacinto Day celebration was held in Houston on April 21, 1837. The ‘city’ was really just a bunch of tents. As there was no real flag pole, the Lone Star was tied to the top of a pine tree.
A few months later, John J. Audubon was in town looking for birds to draw. He was shown the sights, such as they were, one of which was that old pine tree.
He recorded what his hosts told him about it in his journal:
“We also saw a liberty pole, erected on the anniversary of the battle of San Jacinto, on the 21st of last April, and were informed that a brave tar, who rigged the Texan flag on that occasion, had been personally rewarded by President Houston with a town lot, a doubloon and the privilege of keeping a ferry across the Buffalo Bayou at the town, where the bayou forks diverge in opposite directions.”
The tree was either already dead that first San Jacinto Day, or died soon after. In any case, it was cut down or fell down and a large chunk was preserved by San Jacinto veterans.
In later years it was brought out each San Jacinto day and the vets would carry it from saloon to saloon. Propping it against the bar was a notice to the saloon keeper that drinks would be on the house until the party moved on to the next tavern.

I bought a new bathroom scale. This one shows weight, body fat, hydration, and BMI.
I’m learning to hate that thing.

#28 TT: I have one that shows weight and body fat. It is a lying sob.

weight, body fat and hydration are great to know; BMI is complete BS.

Michelle Malkin shines the spotlight on John Holdren.
Holdren is JugEars “Science Czar” and is a real freaky dude:Remember, this is the unrepentant sky-is-falling guru who joined fellow whack jobs Paul and Anne Ehrlich in co-authoring “Ecoscience,” a creepy tome that called for saving the planet by proposing that:
–Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not.
–The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or food.
–Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise.
–People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility” — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
–A transnational “Planetary Regime” should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.How izzit that this guy is even allowed inside of any government office, let alone the White House?

Tadahhhhhhhhh!
It’s no secret that Cruz has positioned himself to claim Trump supporters if and when Trump either collapses or withdraws, but they really should have been Cruz voters from the beginning. Cruz has the policy depth and demonstrated commitment to anti-Establishment action that Trump lacks, plus a more cutting rhetorical edge that is more effective because it’s more disciplined. On top of that, no one will look in Cruz’ past to see wildly divergent positions on key conservative agenda items; Cruz has been consistently conservative since his days at Harvard, and that’s saying something. If Trump fades, Team Cruz will be the natural home for many of Trump’s supporters, and many of them may find themselves happier for that transition.

Nearly 200 retired US generals, admirals and former political officials have come out strongly against the Iran nuclear accord, and have called upon Congress to sink the aon the grounds that it will “enable Iran to become far more dangerous.”
Among the signatories are top former career officers from every branch of the US military, as well as officials who have served in the White House, under both Democratic and Republican administrations, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

This can never be posted too many times…
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.

How to Destroy a City in Five Minutes
Look at Tunisia’s resort city of Sousse on the Mediterranean. Two months ago, an ISIS-inspired nutcase named Seifeddine Rezgui strolled up the beach with a Kalashnikov in his hand and murdered 38 people, most of them tourists from Britain.
The police shot him, of course. There was never going to be any other ending than that one. And before the police arrived, local Tunisians formed a protective human shield around Rezgui’s would-be foreign victims. “Kill us! Kill us, not these people!” shouted Mohamed Amine. According to survivor John Yeoman, hotel staff members charged the gunman and said, “We won’t let you through. You’ll have to go through us.”
Tunisia’s hospitality and customer service are deservedly legendary, but that was truly above and beyond. It’s how Tunisia rolls, but in the end, it doesn’t matter. Tourists are not going back.
A few still wander around here and there, but the locals are calling them ghosts. Who else lives in a ghost town but ghosts?
The Tunisian people have been destroyed by terrorists and they are a pretty classy nation of folks. I really liked the ones I’ve met.

New Bus Network’s First Week Brings Big Boost in METRO Ridership
The numbers are in and the first week of METRO’s New Bus Network brought a 24 percent increase in weekly ridership for local bus and light-rail. That translates to a total of 1,742,500 boardings, demonstrating the impact of an improved, high-frequency public transportation system, which integrates bus and rail in a network with better connections.
Oh, and by the by:
METRO offered free fares Sunday, Aug. 16 – Saturday, Aug. 22 which also contributed to the increase in ridership.
-
So you can ride the train and bus to work now, Hammie.
