    Went to the Redneck Country Club last night, that place is awesome. Our company donated a little scissorlift to them so they gave us a corporate membership. Got to meet Michael Berry, he just hangs out there, no entourage.

    #4 GJT, Daughter and her hubby went there a few months ago and met Michael Berry and producer Kenny. I’d kinda’ like to go but it’s a little too much money for an old fart like me who might go twice a year. 😉

    They have a beautiful restored General Lee on display there, with the stars and bars of course.

    I watched a show where they restored one of these a while back, they interviewed one of the guys who set them up for the Dukes of Hazard. He said people always ask if that’s the original General Lee, he said there is no original, they went thru numerous cars every show lol.

    Good rainy morning Hamsters. Nice to be back on the couch after 18 days of absence, though that time was mostly spent pretty much isolated from events back home other than the NYT daily digest 8-pager handout on the cruise ship and several sessions of Sky News once back in London for a couple of days. Found plenty of info on what’s happening on their side of the pond, and it is not comforting regarding the ever-escalating ISIS-threat-thanks-to-Baracky-caused-Arab-Spring-debacle-refugee problem that’s worse every day.

    We saw many muslims, most obviously well to do, in the upper class sections around the famous landmark core of London. Likely many were attached to the embassies of many Middle Eastern and North African Arab countries in the area, some only a block or so from the American Embassy campus. Regrettably, our embassy building is a relic of 60s Modern Ugly concrete construction plopped in the middle of mainly late Victorian architecture around Hyde Park.

    Spouse’s brother and wife arrived from Chicago several hours before we did at Heathrow late morning and did some walking exploration before jet lag took over. We walked with them later that evening and saw the embassies. At least ours has magnificent statues of Ronaldus Magnus and Dwight Eisenhower in the gardens on the grounds. Brother in law (retired Air Force) said the lines around the embassy’s outside the compound’s fence check point station were long at mid morning—folks of every description looking for or hoping for visas. Ahem

    British customs was thorough as to how long and where we would be in England, which was only overnight before boarding the cruise ship at the port of Harwich about 90 minutes drive from London. ‘Cept the Brits pronounce it Horich, which natch we didn’t know. Anyway imho they’ve got a big leg up on us in security there and at the airport on the return. All liquids, creams, and pastes must be declared and shown in a plastic bag, not just 3-oz or more if not in checked luggage. We of course were blissfully ignorant of that and had our carryons thoroughly searched by a most pleasant security lady. Methinks they also profile, as we were allowed to proceed through the metal detector and skip the x-ray. Kudos to the Brits.

    Heathrow airport in London enjoys excellent security. It is run almost exclusively at all levels by very stern, prim and proper middle-aged and older women who all reminded me of my austere 4th grade language arts teacher, Mrs. Vincent.

    They are intimidating and not to be trifled with.

    I had an experience while checking out with my groceries last night. I met the cashier with a “how are you?” and the response was a litany about how bad his day was, how lazy his boss was, and on and on… No matter how I tried to cheer him up, he insisted upon being miserable.

    I couldn’t help it. The first thought that crossed my mind was “holy crap, my mother is checking me out”. Does that make me a bad person?

    Veteran NOAA meteorologist David Dilley exposes the censorship of climate/global warming contrarians….

    Via Powerline

    Not only governments manipulate, but so do some universities in order to protect their grants. A perfect example happened in 2012 when I contacted the Eagle Hill Institute in Steuben Maine USA to see if they would be interested in a climate change lecture. It should be noted that the institute has very close ties with the University of Maine. So I indicted that my lecture would involve information on natural climate cycles, and they responded saying, “That is fine.” Then In May of 2013 they asked me to speak at their lecture series on June 29th – an invitation that I accepted. They even consequently advertised the event and posted it on their online calendar.

    All seemed well as I prepared for the lecture. But then came the manipulation and suppression of views. Just four days prior to the lecture, three people from the University of Maine viewed our web site (www.globalweatheroscillations.com). The next morning, just 3 days prior to the June 29th lecture, I received an email from Eagle Hill stating that my “lecture is canceled due to a staffing shortage”. Upon checking their web site, the calendar did show my lecture as being canceled, but carried the notation that “we hope to have a different lecture on the 29th”.

    So what happened with the staffing shortage? A news service called “The Maine Wire“ interviewed the President of Eagle Hill, and he said that the University of Maine “felt some people in the audience may be uncomfortable hearing Mr. Dilley’s lecture”.

    #22 reminds me of an old joke:

    A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome. He mentioned the trip to the barber who responded, “Rome? Why would anyone want to go there?

    It’s crowded & dirty and full of Italians. You’re crazy to go to Rome.

    So, how are you getting there?”

    “We’re taking United,” was the reply. “We got a great rate!”

    “United?” exclaimed the barber. “That’s a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they’re always late.

    So, where are you staying in Rome?”

    “We’ll be at the downtown International Marriott.”

    “That dump! That’s the worst hotel in the city. The rooms are small, the service is surly and they’re overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you get there?”

    “We’re going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope.”

    “That’s rich,” laughed the barber. “You and a million other people trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You’re going to need it.”

    A month later, the man again came in for his regular haircut. The barber asked him about his trip to Rome.

    “It was wonderful,” explained the man, “not only were we on time in one of United’s brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful 28 year old stewardess who waited on me hand and foot.

    And the hotel-it was great! They’d just finished a $25 million remodeling job and now it’s the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite at no extra charge!”

    “Well,” muttered the barber, “I know you didn’t get to see the pope.”

    “Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the pope likes to personally meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into his private room and wait the pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later the pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down as he spoke a few words to me.”

    “Really?” asked the Barber. “What’d he say?”

    He said, “Where’d you get the lousy haircut?

    #46 TT: As much as the LSM will struggle to keep answers like the one Cruz gave to the lefty moonbats, away from the voting public the innanet will make sure that it happens. Cruz is so smooth and on point that he makes it impossible to argue with him. Trump does not demonstrate that capacity. As Cruz starts to rise, the others will fall away. I would imagine that after the 3rd primary it will be Trump, Cruz, Fiorina and Carson commanding 70% of the polling and the bottom half will have dropped out.

    Just got a call from my DRE. She just now found the emails I wrote to her what – over a week? – ago. She was miffed because I discussed the issues with someone else, even though others were going to be involved in any changes and she never told me our conversations were “just between us”.

    The others knew about the possible time changes, anyway.

    And there won’t be any changes because it’s too late to make any changes. Like everything else over the last few years, it’s too last minute to consider making the program work better. Her organization skills have degraded, things used to be better. Her communication skills aren’t all that, either. I wondered why she hadn’t answered my emails. I just assumed she was considering my suggestions. It never crossed my mind that she didn’t look at her emails.

    And she wonders why she’s short on catechists and why our enrollment is down.

    Pretty sure I won’t be teaching next year. She mentioned a new DRE, but I don’t know exactly when that will happen. I think she’s holding on long enough to start drawing on her deceased husband’s SS.

    I still have that note. I’ve had to laminate it, but it’s in my wallet.

    I’d wondered at the sudden shift in Scott’s ratings, and that certainly could explain most of it. Regrettably for him, immigration and its ramifications are apparently his Achilles heel. And he’s gotta remedy that firmly and pronto.

    He’s had plenty of instances to learn he must solidify his views
    and understand the mood of the growing majority of Americans fed up with the insanity of bowing to the desires of Mexico and illegals from everywhere sailing in to go on our welfare rolls and having their babies with the erroneous idea that the Constitution embraces the concept of anchor babies, or jus soli conferring citizenship. The 14th Amendment intends to refer to freed slaves and their offspring as attaining citizenship by birth, not everyone and anyone who is born on US soil in perpetuity. Resentment of that continues to come to a boil nationwide among Democrats, Independents, and Conservatives, which Rush very concisely covered this afternoon.

    Wisconsin has its own problems with illegals moving in according to kin and friends who still live there. There’s been considerable resentment building for at least 10 years to my recollection in having bilingual driver’s license tests for those who can’t or won’t learn English. Of course, Wisconsin having been trapped in the liberal mindset of the PC Progressives before Scott was elected muted the public utterance of such resentment. But the state isn’t blue any more.

    I read an excellent article about immigration problems in Sweden. Their immigrants are mostly from Middle East and Africa, and many of them are not able to work in Sweden. There was a comment from a guy from Somalia or somewhere complaining that he was an anesthesiologist but couldn’t get a job in a Swedish hospital. He listed some languages he spoke, but Swedish wasn’t one of them. I’ll try to find it again tomorrow, it’s too late to post it tonight.
