On this day in 1776, the Continental Congress authorizes the first national Revolutionary War memorial in honor of Brigadier General Richard Montgomery, who had been killed during an assault on Quebec on December 31, 1775.
Montgomery, along with Benedict Arnold, led a two-pronged invasion of Canada in late 1775. Before joining Arnold at Quebec, Montgomery successfully took Montreal. But the Patriot assault on Quebec failed, and Montgomery became one of the first generals of the American Revolution to lose his life on the battlefield.
When word of his death reached Philadelphia, Congress voted to create a monument to Montgomery’s memory and entrusted Benjamin Franklin to secure one of France’s best artists to craft it. Franklin hired King Louis XV’s personal sculptor, Jean Jacques Caffieri, to design and build the monument.
Upon its completion in 1778, the Montgomery memorial was shipped to America and arrived at Edenton, North Carolina, where it remained for several years. Although originally intended for Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Congress eventually decided to place the memorial in New York City. In 1788, it was installed under the direction of Major Pierre Charles L’Enfant beneath the portico of St. Paul’s Chapel, which served as George Washington’s church during his time in New York as the United States’ first president in 1789, and where it remains to this day. Montgomery’s body, which was originally interred on the site of his death in Quebec, was moved to St. Paul’s in 1818.
Caffieri also completed a bust of Franklin. Franklin gave seven copies of the bust to friends in the new United States; the original remains in Paris at the Bibliotheque Mazarine.

Who cares about that guy? He’s yet another dead white European male. We should be honoring people like that great ancestor of mine, Watches Ground Crack. WGC and his son Picks Navel Lint founded a dynasty that lasted for generations (at least two or three) among my people.
You’re just another oppressor trying to keep your boot heel on my neck.

My brother is quite proud of his “keyless” car. A keyring fob detects a signal transmitted by the car when its nearby, and sends a signal to unlock the door. When inside, the car is started by pressing a button.
I thought to myself, it won’t be long before someone hacks this arrangement. It wasn’t.
The researchers tested a few scenarios. An attacker could watch a parking lot and have an accomplice watch as car owners as entered a nearby store. The accomplice would only need to be within eight meters of the targeted owner’s key fob, making it easy to avoid arousing suspicion. In another scenario, a car owner might leave a car key on a table near a window. An antenna placed outside the house was able to communicate with the key, allowing the researchers then to start the car parked out front and drive away.

While motorcycle riding in New Zealand couple of years ago one of the group had a key like that on his rented harley. Lost the key going down the highway on the way to return the bike. The bike would continue to run, but if he shut it off, he was done. Fortunately harley only makes so many keys that fit the fuel tank and we had one or he would have been really done.
All this new technology is just something else to break down, get lost or stolen. Give me a simple machine without the bells and whistles. Something I can fix myself. -

Well, how about that SOTU speech? Here we have real unemployment somewhere between 17 and 20%, we’ve almost doubled our national debt in the past 24 months (with nothing to show for the trillions pixxed away), our major economic activities have either been shut down (energy production) or nationalized, and our foreign policy is acknowledged by the rest of the world as a joke.
So, what will we talk about? There’s the hero’s of Tucson, what I did on my vacations, can’t we all just sing kumbaya and get along, and the age old statement about not being willing to rest until everyone who wants a job has one. Think I’ll be too busy picking out my belly button lint to watch.

One a more serious note, appropos of the subject (or at least the one it was changed to by Conestoga Torcher), I recently finished reading Empire of The Summer Moon. It gives us a history of Texas and the Comanche using the story of Cynthia Ann and Quanah Parker. I highly recommend as it is very readable and well researched.
Mentioned in thew book is that Texas school children were tajught about the treaty Quahnah negotiated with Charles Goodnight. I’m curious: what grade that was taught, and is it still being taught today?

I saw a commercial for one of the new electric cars the other day that mentioned that it only took $1.50 worth of electricity to charge up. I made me ask myself this question (which I doubt anynof the proud new eco-weenie owners on the Gulf Coast have asked themselves:
What do they do for transportation in the two weeks or so after a hurrican knocks out the power?
Not only can I fill both cars with gas before the hurricane hits thus using one for gas storage and the other for transpo) I can store 20 gallons of gas in my garage to use after that 40 gallons is gone. I can even use that to drive to a place where the power to run the gas pumps isn’t out and buy gas there.
From what I understand about the range of these roller skates, that’s not really an option, and storing extra batteries is reeeeeeaaaalllly expensive.
And what happens on thier way out of town during the evacuation when the roads are clogged up?

Some Indian history to appease the Savage:
January 26, 1716: Cherokee Chief Caesar has told the English in South Carolina that he will never fight them and that the Creeks want peace, also. Today, 16 Creek and Yamassee representatives arrive at Tugaloo, a Cherokee village in Georgia. The Creeks urge the Cherokees to join them in an attack on South Carolina settlements. This so angers the Cherokees that the representatives are killed.
How’d that work out for ya, Caesar Neville?

Joe Straus is already snubbing Tea Partiers, and 80% of the voters in Texas, with the way he’s approaching Voter ID, just as his past performance suggested he would:
Rep. Wayne Christian (R) from Center, TX, met with Tea Party Leaders this past weekend. Based upon this meeting as well as his previous talks with grassroots organizations, he decided to introduced two amendments to the rules on behalf of his constituents and these organizations. Both of the amendments failed.
One was to take up Voter ID in a committee as a whole like the Senate is doing and push it through the House in order to get it passed quickly. Now, because this amendment failed, the House has to to wait for committee assignments to come out and for the bill to work its way through the committee before it can be heard on the House floor. Also, by not allowing the committee as a whole to take up Voter ID, this potentially gives Straus and his team much more power and influence with what type of Voter ID bill Texas ends up with. If it had been held on the floor of the House in committee with all 150 Representatives participating in a public hearing with invited and open testimony, the conservatives could have had a stronger say in the outcome of the bill by voting together as a block.
If Joe Straus would get out of the way, we could have a good Voter ID bill on the Governor’s desk by the end of the month.
I guess he thinks we haven’t been waiting long enough.

Just curious. Now that some court in Chicago has ruled that Rahm is not eligible to run for Mayor, does anyone really believe that that ruling will stand? I submit that either the boodle was not sent in the right direction, or someone on the court just didn’t understand the message. In any event, I predict a quick reversal of this ruling in order to allow Lord Rahm to assume the mantle of Godfather.

Apparently so does Warren Chisum:
But potential political points weren’t enough. Christian met a fearsome foe in state Rep. Warren Chisum—a fellow Republican who previously ran for Speaker of the House on an agenda of hardline conservatism. While Chisum supports voter ID legislation, he was upset by the change in process, which would cut out public participation. “You’re in favor of cutting out public participation in the bill?” Chisum asked.
Christian argued that the bill had already seen plenty of public input, between the last legislative session and general feedback during the interim. Chisum disagreed. “I just think every legislative session ought to stand on its own,” Chisum said. “I suspect we haven’t heard it all—25 million people occupy Texas.” Christian wound up with a paltry 13 votes.

Bob42 has gotten the ear of Vicente Fox. 😉
As Mexico drowns in drug-related bloodshed — suffering almost 12,000 murders in 2010 — it is perhaps unsurprising that government critics have turned up their screaming that the war on drugs isn’t working. But it was a bit of a bombshell when former President Vicente Fox added his voice to the chorus.
(circumcised)
“Prohibition didn’t work in the Garden of Eden. Adam ate the apple,” says Fox, 68, looking relaxed in a polo shirt — in contrast to his stressful last days in office. “We have to take all the production chain out of the hands of criminals and into the hands of producers — so there are farmers that produce marijuana and manufacturers that process it and distributors that distribute it and shops that sell it …

Because I care for my mother, and because she occasionally orders from catalogs, I get unsolicited catalogs at my house. The latest one, Hammacher Schlemmer, claims “offering the Best, the Only, and the Unexpected for 163 Years”. Inside, I find:
1) A genuine Turkish bathrobe
2) A portable wood-burning hot tub $6,000
3) A cockpit flight simulator $7,000
4) Video recording ski goggles $249.95
5) The Best Heated Blanket $99.95 twin size, $219.95 king
6) Carpal tunnel preventing computer mouse $49.95
7) Genuine handmade Irish shillelagh $54.95
8) All sorts of problem correcting footwear, of varying styles
9) Kneading foot massager $129.95 (that one actually looks like something I’d like – I love a good foot massage, and hubby doesn’t do it anymore)
10) A 16 million color lamp $199.95
11) The infrared heated massage table $399.95
12) A weed whacking golf driver $59.95
13) A specially designed front pocket wallet for men $49.95
14) An indoor dog restroom mat $99.95 (replacement mat $49.95 )
AND FINALLY – the item that triggered the desire for this post —15) Five axis mechanical core muscle trainer: $2000
“This is the low-impact mechanical exerciser that methodically tilts across five axes to strengthen your core muscles…tilts back and forth, left to right, up and town, and twists in preprogrammed sequences, strengthening your thighs, buttocks, back and deep abdomen…The gentle swaying…changes your center of balance and, as you attempt to regain your equilibrium, your core muscles expand and contract. Ideal for both physically limited and experienced exercisers, the device allows you to conduct a 15 minute exercise routine while seated without creating excessive pressure and stress on joints. The exercise…also provide a beneficial aerobic workout…”Guys and gals, this is a very pretty mechanical bull. I am sure that if certain Hamsters were to buy this device, it would not be used for exercise, but would become the focus of some rather interesting alcohol-centered get-togethers, where macho men would see how much of both alcohol and bull they could handle.

G’Morning all
Dang, looks like everybody stayed up last night and sharpened their tongue.
My take on the SOTU tonight:
Obama will begin by saying that the State of the Union is good.
Starting a speech with a good joke is the surest way to get the crowd on your side.Paul Ryan will give the Republican response. He’s the Republican with all the brains but he’s not the one with all the charisma.
She can’t be bothered during bear season.

And what happens on thier way out of town during the evacuation when the roads are clogged up?
They add to the clog and become victims of the food and water looters. ‘Cause you just know, if they drive that car, they aren’t armed. MIght as well wear a big sign, “Pick me, I’m a victim.”
On the other hand you could charge (pun intended) big bucks carry a portable generator around charging up their batteries.

I was going to do another spoof piece on Olbermann, but someone beat me to the headline: Olberman Inks Deal with Fox News. Keith would become co-host with his best buddy on the Fox show, to be renamed “The O Factor.”
I think the show’s format had become a little stale over the years. I know y’all don’t like libruls (duh!) but Rachel Maddow actually does a pretty good show. Better than Olbermann, I think.

#20 Squawk, I think it’s only a matter of time. If you graph the amount of tax dollars given to Mexico alongside the deaths, there is a clear correlation. Also, given the amount of corruption in the government and law enforcement there, it is more than likely that a portion of our money is used to arm the bad guys.
Vicente Fox gets it right. And he’s not alone. Several leaders of Central and South America, after leaving office have become more honest about the US’s war on a plant. They say it doesn’t work and that it kills people. They are right.

Is that anything like drinking Draino so the anti-freeze will taste better later?

What’s really sad is that Franken lost by a few votes and if Obama hadn’t been in the picture, (can you say down ballot voting), he’d have lost by a substantial margin. -

Some Indian history to appease the Savage:
One of the things that strikes me about the history of the conflict between the White Satan and the Innocent Stewards of the Environement and Spirituality is the characterization that the Dirt Farmer East Coast Stewards were primarily victimized by the White Satan.
Most of the treaties signed in the first 200 years or so of White Satan occupation of the Pristine Wilderness maintained by the Stewards and subsequently defiled by the White Satans were basically military alliances designed to get the White Satan’s assitance in waging war with other Stewards, or getting the Stewards to help the White Satan make war on other White Satans.
This didn’t work out very well for the Stewards who sided with the French while the British Satans were occupying the Pristine Wilderness south of the River That Flows From The Great Lake, or for those who sided with the British Satans against the American Satans during the Revolution.
Later on, the superior ability of White Satan pro-creation, coupled with the fact that more were coming across the Great Waters in canoes with clouds for power made it so that those that had sided with the American Satans lost thier political and military power and were given lands in the Northern American Pristine Wilderness that they still occupy this day.
Then, a Liberal Populist Democrat became President and made the Stewards living in the Southern part of the American Pristine Wilderness leave thier homes and walk to Oklahoma. Except for the Seminole, who established the tradition of Recalcitrant and Irredeemably Crazy Cracker that still exists in that area today.

#49 But Hammie, we need more pirates to combat global warming among other things.
You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.

There is great truth in your words of wisdom.As a fractional Eastern Dirt Farmer Steward, I thank you.
The other thing that strikes me about the the history of the conflict between the Stewards and Satans in the Pristine Wildreness west of the Long River is that the historians seem to be divided between those that think the pre-eminent Stewards of the Plains were the Sioux, and those that think it was the Comanche.
Which is silly.
Everybody knows that the Sioux got kicked out of Minnesota by the White Satan before the War of Northern Agression, and thus are wusses, while the Comanche kicked the Apache out of Texas in the 1600’s, kept the Spanish south of San Antonio for 150 years, and the Texicans on the coast until Samuel Colt brought them the six shooter and they were able to fire bullets promiscuoulsy at them.

For fourteen years, I hunted on a ranch in the Panhandle adjacent to the Palo Duro Canyon State Park, that had the remains of Charles Goodnight’s home camp on it. I killed a B&C class whitetail right across the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River from it – about 300-400 yards away. It was the Harrell Ranch. Will go down in my history as the finest place I ever hunted in Texas.

#61 Squawk, he is correct in the application of that principal, and is in good company. Milton Friedman, William F. Buckley, and George P. Schultz have stated that opinion, as do I and the former drug warriors and criminal justice professionals at LEAP.
Fox is most explicit about marijuana but says the principle applies to all illegal drugs.
But don’t worry, none of the truly dangerous illegal substances are likely to become legal in our lifetime. However, cannabis decriminalization in some areas is quite likely.
As much as some folks would like it to actually work, it’s just not a good plan to empower a nanny/police state to control what individuals will chose to eat, drink, or smoke. That kind of prohibition fails every time it is tried.

Here’s what Barry means when he says “tone down the rhetoric”:
First, never quote Mother Teresa at me — she was an evil hag who worshipped poverty, who did not help people except to encourage them to suffer more for her faith, while she lived in comfort and traveled far and wide to receive the accolades of the gullible. I would never find the words of that wicked woman persuasive.
Yeah, I’ll put up Mother Teresa’s record on helping the poor against all you “progressives” combined.
And just in case we’re not completely sure that these twisted people are vampires let’s make it abundantly clear:
Secondly, the standard bullying tactics of waving bloody fetuses might cow the squeamish, but I’m a biologist. I’ve guillotined rats. I’ve held eyeballs in my hand and peeled them apart with a pair of scissors. I’ve used a wet-vac to clean up a lake of half-clotted blood from an exsanguinated dog. I’ve opened bodies and watched the intestines do their slow writhing dance, I’ve been elbow deep in blood, I’ve split open cats and stabbed them in the heart with a perfusion needle. I’ve extracted the brains of mice…with a pair of pliers. I’ve scooped brains out of buckets, I’ve counted dendrites in slices cut from the brains of dead babies.
You want to make me back down by trying to inspire revulsion with dead baby pictures? I look at them unflinchingly and see meat. And meat does not frighten me.

But wait, there’s more from these ghouls:I opted out of a career in biology or medicine (veterinary or human) after finding out about this kind of stuff. I know, it’s strange. I have no problem with the idea of cutting the spine of a just-unprofessionally-aborted foetus. I’d also have no problem assisting with someone’s suicide, but dissecting a cat or vivisecting a frog or a rat just for the purpose of learning about anatomy or whatever? count me out.

Mother Teresa – “Death Cult”
Hammy, those people are so ignorant of what that woman was doing it is unbelievable. She didn’t worship poverty, just understood that she alone could not change the fortunes of the masses of people dying unloved, unwanted, and unknown, so she made their last days as loving as possible. “Lived in comfort and wealth”?
I believe their ignorance is self-imposed. That’s the only way they can justify their hatred.

Rahmbo back on the ballot.
The Illinois Supreme Court has ordered a stay of yesterday’s appellate court decision that struck Rahm Emanuel’s name from the mayoral ballot — and not a moment too soon, as the NBC affiliate in Chicago explains. The city will print ballots today, which means that voters will see Emanuel’s name on the list even if he is later disqualified:
Sets up a pretty cute possibility:
The Illinois Supreme Court eventually rules that Rahmbo was not elible to run, but not until after he wins the election.
High jinks ensue.

Ah, I see Joe Carter over at First Things picked up on the sociopathic ramblings of PZ:
Myers is an associate professor of biology the University of Minnesota (Morris). His inexplicably popular science blog, Pharyngula, and his willingness to talk about subjects about which he is completely ignorant have propelled him to the top of the list of influential New Atheists. Like most people who have had dealings with Myers, I have absolutely no respect for him as a scientist, thinker, or rhetor. He is a nasty, brutish, and dim, which is forgivable, but also a complete bore, which is not.
Something I didn’t know about Dahmer…I mean Myers:
Oh, and did I mention that in 2009 Myers was named the American Humanist Association’s “Humanist of the Year”? Apparently, being a humanist no longer requires having a respect for humanity.

Vox Day gets in on the discussion:
It’s probably a good thing he is an atheist without any moral standards, otherwise he might demonstrate at least a modicum of conscience for the bloody acts in which he appears to take such pride. And if he happened to take any sexual gratification from them as well, who can say it is wrong from his perspective, given his total lack of any moral or ethical code. If he feels no revulsion at looking at the pictures of butchered babies, then he likely feels no revulsion and sees only meat when looking at pictures of dead Jews and murdered Ukrainians as well. The awful thing is not that the pictures do not frighten him; they do not frighten me either. The awful thing is that he does not find them revolting like any normal human being with even a minimal amount of empathy would.

Hamous, I really don’t see how you could logically reach these conclusions.
PZ Myers is in an elite class of hate-filled psychopaths – he actually has a position of authority and respect among the godless and other assorted liberals, and gets paid for it.
I kinda suspect you reach such conclusions simply because he dares to doubt the accuracy of your religion, criticizes the abuses of authoritah by its leaders, makes fun of its saints, and other simple differences of opinion.
Disagreement does not equal hate, and nothing I’ve ever read there indicates he’s a psychopath. As for getting paid, wrong again (you’re three for three!) He goes months without receiving any money for his blogging. He earns his living as a biology professor at the University of Minnesota, Morris.
That said, I don’t visit his site very often (I’m not into cephalopods.) The same is true of sites of other “strong” and outspoken atheists such as Hitchens and Dawkins. I prefer more laid back, “live and let live” folks such as Hemant Mehta, and Jen “Boobquake” McCreight.

I understand that in biological research a certain amount of death is to be expected, but he appears to have no respect for animal life of any kind.His lack of respect for life is not confined to non-human animals; it is clear from the blog entry hamous linked to as well as a related one Myers recently posted that human life holds nothing special for him. That is why hamous (and I) find Myers to be so despicable.
btw – his position of authority and respect is that of a University Professor, where he is pretty free to espouse his views on life and atheism as much as he likes, as opposed to those professors who happen to be Christian and are discriminated against or fired because of their views.

Wulp, I must admit it when I’m proven wrong with such a preponderance of evidence.
Y’all are right. Myres is obiously a psychopathic, sociopathic, hate speaking baby killer and baby eater that delights in death of any kind, and whose mouth waters at the sight of aborted fetuses.
It’s more than obvious that he constantly preaches atheism in his biology classes, and converts hundreds of students each year through de-baptism with a hairdryer (a condition for passing the class.) Yet, he still has a job and gets paid because the vast wing secular conspiracy protects him, and only persecuted Christians that teach their religion in science classes face any consequences whatsoever in this “Christian nation” of ours.
Gee whiz. Why can’t we all just get a bong?

HEY!
Don’t you know that anybody who critcizes a science professor is just an authoritarian cretin trying to impose his views on others with absolutely no scientific fact to back it up?
Forget all that stuff about dead babies being meat.
Its SCIENCE you authoritarian nutjob!

#84 Bob:
Only a sociopath/psychopath could write:
You want to make me back down by trying to inspire revulsion with dead baby pictures? I look at them unflinchingly and see meat. And meat does not frighten me.
By his own admission Meyers is unmoved by a dead child – at best it’s simple some waste to dispose of; at worst tomorrow’s dinner. Those are HIS words.
You can say whatever you want, after reading Meyer’s rant I am convinced of 2 things: Meyers is evil personified and, if his attitude is the end result of atheism I would sooner die than be an atheist.

#89 FA, nobody is asking you to even consider changing your mind on your religious beliefs, least of all me. As I mentioned above, I prefer other, more laid back non-theist sites to Myers’ site, but I’ve been there enough to know when he is being intentionally, flippantly, and arrogantly obtuse when he responds to an unsolicited email on his blog.
Call him whatever you like. I don’t have a pony in that race. But I don’t see any real evidence to classify him as a sociopath or a psychopath. I see plenty of perception bias, and more than a little thin skinned reaction, but no evidence, at all. (Y’all might want to look up those terms in the DSM-IV before casually and reactively tossing them around. )
Maybe he enjoys it when folks read his stuff, of their own free will, and get their knickers knotted as a result. It doesn’t matter to me.
Perhaps y’all should send him some e-mail. He likes e-mail. 😉

Bobby:
Apparently the DSM-IV doesn’t use the term psychopath but rather “Antisocial Personality Disorder”. I would say that looking at a dead child and seeing only meat would qualify someone as “Antisocial.”
Apparently
the DSM-V working party is recommending a revision of Antisocial Personality Disorder to include “Antisocial/Psychopathic Type”, with the diagnostic criteria having a greater emphasis on character than on behavior.
Judging from his writings I would say that a lack of character is the perfect definition of Meyers.
He doesn’t knot my knickers – I’ve seen my share of skunks and rabid vermin.
It does sadden me that you apparently think of him as a kindred spirit. I thought better of you.

Speaking of sociopaths—or at least paranoid schizophrenics.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A man accused of stabbing a Kansas City college official intended to instead attack Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and mistakenly believed he had done so, police said Thursday.
The suspect, 22-year-old Casey Brezik, did not know Nixon and had no particular beef with the governor, but he decided to attack him because he was a top government official, Kansas city police spokesman Darin Snapp said.
Brezik, of Raytown, is charged with two felony counts each of first-degree assault and armed criminal action. A Jackson County judge entered not guilty pleas on his behalf during a court appearance Wednesday.Did you see the date?
Published September 16, 2010
| Associated PressNever heard of it? Maybe this is why.
Brezik liked to spread his revolutionary rhetoric to his 24 Facebook friends (I’ve already changed the number twice because people keep unfriending him), including posting just hours prior to yesterday’s attack.
snip
Brezik was apparently living out his anarchist fantasy. In June, he bragged about getting arrested at the Toronto G20 summit:Crossed the security fence. Ran from the cops. Was tackled. Spit on an officer. Was arrested, charged, and deported. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Of course, back in September, the media didn’t think that Obama needed a 9/11 moment to connect with the American People—and to demonize Conservatives with.

I was in Texas public schools from grades 1-12 and I do not remember reading or hearing of Quanah Parker in school. I did encounter that bit of Texas history later on, but no longer remember if it might have been in a college history class (still a requirement when I was an undergraduate at UT) or something I came across on my own.

#97 Hammie, have you always had these hallucinations, or are they a recent development?
A Christian who says to a group of Christians that non-Christians are not his brothers and sisters (although he wants them to be) is a dangerous authoritarian to be ran out of town on a rail while a man who makes no moral distinction between severing the spine of an innocent human baby and dissecting a lab rat is just an average joe.
If you can point out to me where I suggested that that governor was “dangerous” or an authoritarian, or should be “run out of town on a rail” I’ll buy both Izzy and you a beer.
The trouble is, you can’t point out anything of the sort. I think you’re seeing things that simply are not there. Again. Why so defensive? Why jump sharks to reach irrational conclusions based on nothing but your own fantasies and biases?
You are bereft of a moral compass.
You accuse me of having inferior morals because of something Myers wrote on his friggin blog? Give me a break. Either you’ve been in my stash, or perhaps need to be.
Also, you sir, are in no position to judge my moral compass considering that you don’t even know me, and that your reading comprehension abilities are evidently severely inhibited by your self-superior biases.
Have a nice day.

The Oscars are not something I would comment on, but Hailee Steinfeld is up for one. Her performance in True Grit carries the movie. Not sure why she is up for supporting actress and not lead, but glad she got the nod. That is one of very few movies I have seen that were worth the time to see in a theater.

I have to go to a meeting tonight. It’s a professional meeting, where we’ll be seeing a state inspection official and he’ll be giving us an update on codes and what not.
I have not been going to our meetings as regularly as usual. The man who runs our organization has been annoying me in a cumulative fashion over the last few years. I have described him as a big fluffy puppy that just won’t quit jumping in your lap. He’s nice, but doesn’t seem to understand what he’s doing wrong.
First, he can introduce me using my real name, and not as “our Maggie”. It used to be cute, but holy crap dude, hasn’t my attitude and my habit of putting out my hand and telling the other person “Hello, my real name is Tedtam” made a mark on your consciousness yet? Also, he can quit “assigning” me duties. Try asking me first. We’re supposed to be having a fun contest tonight, and I’ve already been assigned judging duties. Don’t really want to, but that doesn’t seem to matter, even after I tell him twice I don’t want to do it.
Which brings me to my next irritation – he wants me to be the first female president of our organization. I’m not big on being “first” anything, whether it be related to gender, age, color, school affiliation, or the type of car I drive. It doesn’t matter. Second, I’ve already got more than a full plate, and don’t need any more duties, ceremonial or real. Third, just because he thinks it would be “cute” or that anyone else wants me to do it, doesn’t change fact number two.
I’m going to the meeting. I will have a nice dinner with nice people. I may even relent and be a judge. But I’m bringing a rolled-up newspaper with which to whack this guy on the nose.

It’s as clear as day that your definitions of right and wrong are at such polar opposites from mine there is no reason to continue trying to come to some understanding of each other.

Bob’s scoreboard:
Conservatives (hamous) = -201 Liberal (calling Mother Theresa a “hag” and only “sees meat” when viewing a chopped up baby or cutting the spine of babyies who were alive out of the womb)= +11
Let’s take a quick review:
Hamous, the faithful-practicing Catholic quotes:
First, never quote Mother Teresa at me — she was an evil hag who worshipped poverty, who did not help people except to encourage them to suffer more for her faith, while she lived in comfort and traveled far and wide to receive the accolades of the gullible. I would never find the words of that wicked woman persuasive.
Bob, the 24 karat a$$hole refutes Hamous’ difference with the anti-Catholic remark and calling “el profesor” a sciopath based on that devil’s own words by saying:
I kinda suspect you reach such conclusions simply because he dares to doubt the accuracy of your religion, criticizes the abuses of authoritah by its leaders, makes fun of its saints, and other simple differences of opinion.
(1) Dares to doubt the accuracy of Hamous’ religion? Huh? Between Lone Star Times and right here on Hamous’ own website, I’ve done that and Hamous has not called me a sociopath. Bonecrusher’s done that and Hamous didn’t call hm a sociopath. Texanadian (I think he’s the Greek Orthodox here) has not openly done so that I recall but we all know he denies the accuracy of Catholicism. For the record, neither Wagonburner not Tedtam have called any of us “sociopaths”. In fact, people here, including everyone I’ve mentioned just now, exept me, of course, have questioned the accuracy of my religion. How many of these have I called “sociopath”? Tio be sure, would anyone here who disagrees with Catholicism, Mormonism, Advent(ism), Greek Orthodoxism and have been called a “sociopath” please raise your hand?
So why would Hamous call Meyers a “sociopath”? Based on diasagreing with Hamous’ religion?
(2) Simple differences? Ummmm, calling mother Theresa, a saint and upright humanist in her own right, a “hag” and blaming the suffering of others on her faith and because of her and her faith is not a “simple difference”.

I kinda suspect you reach such conclusions simply because he dares to doubt the accuracy of your religion, criticizes the abuses of authoritah by its leaders, makes fun of its saints, and other simple differences of opinion.
(1) Dares to doubt the accuracy of Hamous’ religion? Huh? Between Lone Star Times and right here on Hamous’ own website, I’ve done that and Hamous has not called me a sociopath. Bonecrusher’s done that and Hamous didn’t call hm a sociopath. Texanadian (I think he’s the Greek Orthodox here) has not openly done so that I recall but we all know he denies the accuracy of Catholicism. For the record, neither Wagonburner not Tedtam have called any of us “sociopaths”. In fact, people here, including everyone I’ve mentioned just now, exept me, of course, have questioned the accuracy of my religion. How many of these have I called “sociopath”? Tio be sure, would anyone here who disagrees with Catholicism, Mormonism, Advent(ism), Greek Orthodoxism and have been called a “sociopath” please raise your hand?
So why would Hamous call Meyers a “sociopath”? Based on diasagreing with Hamous’ religion?
(2) Simple differences? Ummmm, calling mother Theresa, a saint and upright humanist in her own right, a “hag” and blaming the suffering of others on her faith and because of her and her faith is not a “simple difference”.

Come to think of it, I think it is Texmo the Greek Orthodox.
If so, my bad.

Iowahawk has some good pointers on setting up a watch party for the SOTU. Personally I was unable to watch it this year, but I’m hopeful that following the 2012 elections results that I can resume watching in 2013. Pretty funny.

IT’S WAKEY WAKEY TIME YOU SLUMBER HEADS; WAKE THE *$^&*(& UP!
That is the closest I can get to shouting here on Hammy’s couch. I tried to actually watch some of the SOTU Kabuki show last night; on 4 separate tries I think I logged a total of less than 3 minutes. I remember the foul “O” speaking of how we need high speed rail all over our country and then I started screaming at the TV and wanted to shoot it so I stopped watching. I found Star Trek Next Generation reruns far more informative and relevant. Did anyone else actually watch that BS-a-thon last night? -

I tried to listen on the radio, the bunker has no tv. It started out okay, the usual dribble that’s expected, and then he started on bashing the oil companies, while calling for more natural gas development, pushing windmills and other green crap that is economically unvialble and it went downhill from there so I turned it off.
