The 1980’s. The (thankfully) lost decade. Big poofy hair. Big poofy hair bands. Strange attire – sort of a prelude to the New Jersey douchebags.
Everybody was a poseur. Even the ones who vehemently claimed they weren’t.
I’d bet several people here rocked the mullet. Even Especially our host.

So very fortunate to live in this era of technology and medical miracles. I have rheumatoid arthritis with which the symtoms just go away with new medicine avaiable, in the past I would have had to deal with it and wait for my joints to wither away.
I guess the payback for that is to have gone thru the 70’s and 80’s. 😀
Oh, and First!

Speaking of technology, last nite I mentioned an app for keeping track of expenses and mileage Sweetie found. It is called Expense Tracker, not Report. You simply take a photo of a reciept, it reads it, axes for the category and sends it to your computer -on a spreadsheet! Tracks your vehicle mileage through your phone’s GPS as well, she loves it.

Heh.
Here is the AFL-CIO’s statement:
In 2010, Standard & Poor’s 500 Index company CEOs received, on average, $11.4 million in total compensation. Based on 299 companies’ most recent pay data for 2010, their combined total CEO pay of $3.4 billion could support 102,325 median workers’ jobs.
Using a simple calculator, it is easy to determine that the “workers’ jobs” would pay $33,227 per year (about $16 per hour), not counting union dues, of course.
Given the AFL-CIO’s penchant for pushing an eat the rich ideology, it seemed worthwhile to use the unions’ own logic to run our own set of numbers to determine how many workers’ median jobs one years’ worth of union dues could support.
snip
If we were to use a conservative figure of $50 per month for union dues, in 2010, unions collected $735,000,000 per month in union dues from America’s unionized workers. Multiply $735,000,000 by 12 months and you get a whopping $8,820,000,000 that was collected in union dues in 2010.
Divide $8,820,000,000 by $33,227 and you’ll find that if unions did not take union dues from workers in 2010, 265,447 workers’ jobs could have been supported.

Well, apparently it’s not called Expense Tracker either ’cause I can’t find it, Sweetie is still asleep so I can’t ax her. It’ll have to wait ’til tonight if anyone’s interested.

Kobe Bryant was fined $100,000 for a word. One single word. I’m no fan of the NBA or Bryant but this shows just how far the militant homosexual lobby has been able to push their “protected class” status. Ted Nugent had something to say about it:
Like other professional athletes, numerous NBA players have done all kinds of things on and off the court that do not cast a positive light on themselves or the NBA, but they have not been fined $100,000 by the league.
Homosexuals are a protected class in America. If you think what happened to Mr. Bryant was a travesty, just wait until you see what homosexuals in the military do when they claim they have been mistreated because of their sexual orientation.
Speech can be ugly and demeaning, but no ugly name-calling is worth a $100,000 fine.
Wouldn’t it be refreshing if Mr. Bryant threatened to resign from the NBA over this? The amount of money the NBA would lose without Kobe Bryant helping to pack the stands would be staggering compared with the politically correct $100,000 fine levied on him.
Mr. Bryant threatening to quit wouldn’t make the NBA very gay. I got 20 bucks that says the NBA would toss homosexuals under the bus and fold like a cheap suit to keep Mr. Bryant in the NBA.

Go Ted Nugent! I guess you have to go to the innernet back alleys to find out what the slur was. I bet I have a good idea idea what it was tho.

One thought though, to get slurred is to be offended by language of some sort. It would be impossible for Ted Nugent or myself to get slurred, wonder if the same can be said for Kobe?

Heh. Outliers. Back in the 80s and 90s there was a meter reader for the City of Houston that had a mohawk like in the first pic. He scared the heck out of many of my elderly neighbors. Can’t remember his name but he was a nice guy. Used to run into him at Party on the Plaza all the time. I think he was a member of the skate trash known as The Urban Animals.

Dancing was a lot more fun back then.
When I was in college, I used to dance for hours. Literally. I had a good friend who happened to be a
gayguy (I still wonder about that), and he’d pick me up at 6:00 on Friday night, take me to a local dance club, and we’d close the place down at 2:00 am. We didn’t drink anything but water. We only left the floor for potty breaks, water breaks, or crappy music breaks. Our body rhythms were so compatible that we were repeatedly asked how long we’d been a couple. It surprised people that I was actually engaged to someone else, but the someone else couldn’t find a beat if you slapped him in the face with it. I’d come home, rest up, and do it again on Saturday nights. When I went dancing with my girlfriends, I would have three guys that I’d rotate on the dance floor. Wear one out, call up his replacement, wear him out, call up a replacement, lather, rinse, repeat.You gotta give it to Hubby. He didn’t complain or argue or get mad. He knew how much I loved to dance. He was incredibly patient.
I still work out doing aerobics to the 70’s and 80’s dance music.
BTW – I found my old dance partner, finally. I often wondered what happened to him. His family was from Yugoslavia and had lived in Columbia for a while. He spoke Serbo-Croatian, some Russian, some Spanish, a little Portuguese, and English. His family kinda adopted me when to-be-Hubby was out of town, and I’d visit his home. His father worked for Texas A&M and there was usually a contingent of foreign students there. I felt like I was watching a tennis match, swiveling my head from side to side to the various speakers, while snatches of different languages went flying over my head. Anyway, this friend had helped with the Russian summit while on internship in Washington DC., and after graduation he kinda disappeared. I thought maybe CIA, State Dept., or something similar because of his language background and great grades. I found him last year; he’s working for refugees in some eastern European country, and he now works in Afghanistan for the UN. I’m trying to make contact with him. I’d love to go dancing the next time he’s in town…

Charley Reese penned an editorial about 545 people being “responsible for the domestic problems that plague” the U.S.
Journalist Charley Reese (now retired) was part of the Orlando Sentinel’s staff for three decades between 1971-2001, during which time he (among other duties) penned a thrice-weekly column. During the 1980s Reese wrote the first version of an editorial opining that 545 people (i.e., the President of the United States, plus all the members of Congress and the Supreme Court) “are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country,” and he has amended, updated, and
republished that piece several times since then. This version is taken from the 7 March 1995 edition of the /Orlando Sentinel/, where it ran under the title “Looking for Someone to Blame? Congress Is a Good Place to Start.”545 People
/[Reese, 1995]/Politicians, as I have often said, are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Everything on the Republican contract is a problem created by Congress. Too much bureaucracy? Blame Congress. Too many rules?
Blame Congress. Unjust tax laws? Congress wrote them. Out-of-control bureaucracy? Congress authorizes everything bureaucracies do. Americans dying in Third World rat holes on stupid U.N. missions? Congress allows it. The annual deficits? Congress votes for them. The $4 trillion plus debt? Congress created it. To put it into perspective just remember that 100 percent of the power of the federal government comes from the U.S. Constitution. If it’s not in the Constitution, it’s not authorized.
Then read your Constitution. All 100 percent of the power of the federal government is invested solely in 545 individual human beings. That’s all. Of 260 million Americans, only 545 of them wield 100 percent of the power of the federal government.
That’s 435 members of the U.S. House, 100 senators, one president and nine Supreme Court justices. Anything involving government that is wrong is 100 percent their fault.
I exclude the vice president because constitutionally he has no power except to preside over the Senate and to vote only in the case of a tie. I exclude the Federal Reserve because Congress created it and all its power is power Congress delegated to it and could withdraw anytime it chooses to do so. In fact, all the power exercised by the 3 million or so other federal employees is power delegated from the 545.
All bureaucracies are created by Congress or by executive order of the president. All are financed and staffed by Congress. All enforce laws passed by Congress. All operate under procedures authorized by Congress. That’s why all complaints and protests should be properly directed at Congress, not at the individual agencies.
You don’t like the IRS? Go see Congress. You think the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms agency is running amok? Go see Congress.
Congress is the originator of all government problems and is also the only remedy available. That’s why, of course, politicians go to such extraordinary lengths and employ world-class sophistry to make you think they are not responsible. Anytime a congressman pretends to be outraged by something a federal bureaucrat does, he is in fact engaging in one big massive con job. No federal employee can act at all except to enforce laws passed by Congress and to employ procedures authorized by Congress either explicitly or implicitly.
Partisans on both sides like to blame presidents for deficits, but all deficits are congressional deficits. The president may, by custom, recommend a budget, but it carries no legal weight. Only Congress is authorized by the Constitution to authorize and appropriate and to levy taxes. That’s what the federal budget consists of: expenditures authorized, funds appropriated and taxes levied.
Both Democrats and Republicans mislead the public. For 40 years Democrats had majorities and could have at any time balanced the budget if they had chosen to do so. Republicans now have majorities and could, if they choose, pass a balanced budget this year. Every president, Democrat or Republican, could have vetoed appropriations bills that did not make up a balanced budget. Every president could have recommended a balanced budget. None has done either.
We have annual deficits and a huge federal debt because that’s what majorities in Congress and presidents in the White House wanted. We have troops in various Third World rat holes because Congress and the president want them there.
Don’t be conned. Don’t let them escape responsibility. We simply have to sort through 260 million people until we find 545 who will act responsibly.

It appears our “Proven Conservative Leader” Speaker of the Texas House is really a Proven Republican Liar.
One of the biggest issues to come up in this legislative session is redistricting because the redistricting maps will determine who gets elected in Texas for the next ten years.
Rep. Burt Solomons is one of Straus’ lieutenants and was appointed as the chair of the House Redistricting Committee. His redistricting map for the House (Plan H153) at most would help to elect 82 or 83Republicans. Today Rep. Joe Nixon and the conservative Republicans submitted a much better plan that would help to elect 99 Republicans.
Solomons’ plan would pair conservative Republicans against each other — Rep. Perry vs. Rep. Landtroop. Both voted against Straus as Speaker. Because of the way Solomons’ map is drawn, West Texas could lose three seats. Rep. Frullo of Amarillo, who voted for Straus, is protected on Solomons’ redistricting map.
Solomons also paired two other conservative Republicans (East Texas) who voted against Straus as Speaker — Rep. Flynn and Rep. Cain.
Rep. Driver and Rep. Burkett have also been paired against each other by Solomons; Rep. Burkett is a conservative who voted against Straus as Speaker.
The Democrats have one pairing with Rep. Hochberg vs. Rep. Vo. And Nueces County has a pairing that reflects its drop in population — Rep. Torres vs. Rep. Scott.
Rep. Solomons’ own district has been drawn to be safe for a Republican.
Straus promised that he would not resdistrict in a retaliatory manner, yet he and his cronies are pulling the same kind of politics that resulted in the Shuttle going to NYC, except this time, the targets are Tea Party Republicans.
In an additional move of retaliation, Redistricting Committee Chair. Burt Solomon’s — a Straus Lieutenant called for an immediate convening of the Redistricting Committee. The first meeting was held on Friday and another on Sunday April 17, at 2:00 PM. The Committee hearing time frame is by design. Lucky for us, a delegation of Tea Party Texans descended on the Public Hearing and voiced a resounding, ” We don’t want this plan!”
They did not want us to mobilize and attend the hearing.
The truth of the matter is: Joe Straus has directed Committeeman Burt Solomon’s to proceed with the retaliation plan to punishing anyone who opposes his agenda.
Its pretty clear that what needs to be done is primary the He!! out of the Republican Party and elect more Tea Party candidates. The Republican Party of Texas is no freind to Conservatives.
-
It appears our “Proven Conservative Leader” Speaker of the Texas House is really a Proven Republican Liar.
One of the biggest issues to come up in this legislative session is redistricting because the redistricting maps will determine who gets elected in Texas for the next ten years.
Rep. Burt Solomons is one of Straus’ lieutenants and was appointed as the chair of the House Redistricting Committee. His redistricting map for the House (Plan H153) at most would help to elect 82 or 83Republicans. Today Rep. Joe Nixon and the conservative Republicans submitted a much better plan that would help to elect 99 Republicans.
Solomons’ plan would pair conservative Republicans against each other — Rep. Perry vs. Rep. Landtroop. Both voted against Straus as Speaker. Because of the way Solomons’ map is drawn, West Texas could lose three seats. Rep. Frullo of Amarillo, who voted for Straus, is protected on Solomons’ redistricting map.
Solomons also paired two other conservative Republicans (East Texas) who voted against Straus as Speaker — Rep. Flynn and Rep. Cain.
Rep. Driver and Rep. Burkett have also been paired against each other by Solomons; Rep. Burkett is a conservative who voted against Straus as Speaker.
The Democrats have one pairing with Rep. Hochberg vs. Rep. Vo. And Nueces County has a pairing that reflects its drop in population — Rep. Torres vs. Rep. Scott.

re: the foul “O” true identity: If, as I suspect, this book proves that he is ineligible, will the House of Reps immediately begin impeachment proceedings, will the SCOTUS declare him to be an usurper and call for his immediate removal? Will each and every official action he made while in usurpation of the office of POTUS, be summarily ruled null and void due to the illegality of his presence? What happens to the 2 appointments made to the SCOTUS, will they be required to recuse themselves from any deliberations regarding this/these matters, will they be immediately sent back from whence they came?

further to my #62 above:
If the book proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he is an usurper, our country is thrust into a constitutional crisis of the highest order. Do the politi-terds of both parties have the intestinal fortitude to actually follow the law? Do the R’s have the juevos to demand his immediate removal and do the D’s have any trace of legitimacy left to not fight his removal? This issue could easily lead to a civil war if BOTH PARTIES refuse to do the right thing. -

A high value target was taken out in Afcrappystan:
“ISAF today confirmed Mullah Abdul Fatah Haqqani was killed during an airstrike in Burkah district, Baghlan province, yesterday. Haqqani supported both the Taliban and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan networks by commanding and controlling foreign fighter facilitation and insurgent training for Baghlan province. He was responsible for overseeing the purchase of weapons and explosive devices for Taliban insurgents, supporting numerous attacks against Afghan and coalition forces throughout the area.”

We agonize, and rightly so, over the cost in life of our wars – but the toll of abortion is equal to fighting the Battle of Antietam, or two Battles of Okinawa, every single week, or two entire Vietnam Wars every month. Our commentariat was racked with paroxysms of moral reproach over three prisoners being waterboarded, yet considers it gauche to even mention well over three thousand abortions daily, each of which destroys a biologically unique human being

I hadn’t thought about this until now. Why am I not surprized.
President Obama is opting not to visit the tornado-ravaged areas of the South, choosing instead to embark today on a three day tour out West where he will try to boost his political standing by talking up his approach to the deficit and raise millions for himself and fellow Democrats.
The tornadoes, part of a storm that rampaged though six states Saturday, resulted in one of the worst disasters of any kind in the United States since the Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Scores were left injured or homeless while 45 people were killed – about four times as many as died in the Gulf oil rig explosion and the subsequent oil spill last year. In North Carolina alone, there were nearly two-dozen storm-related deaths Saturday, with 130 homes destroyed and an estimated 700 more damaged.

I have been asked on more than one occasion why I grow my hair long and maintain a beard,,,,, a big beard. Most folks think it was because of rebellion from my time in service. Nothing could be further from the truth. It ain’t even because of style or some counter culture movement carry over.Frankly, I am too lazy to shave and go get a haircut. Yes it is that simple.
When I honorably separated form the service I installed a hangover that I maintained through the 80’s. The 80’s for me was a blur of working hard, playing hard and drinking hard. I never much cared for the herb.
On a side note I do not care if marijuana becomes legal or not. That argument is a non-starter for me. On the odd chance I have been given to vote for or against I abstained. Skipped the box.

Squawkster, I got to echo the separation thangy. Being medically retired w/6 in and 14 out in ’71 and obtaining my degree in the Electronic sciences, I turned down his own H. Ross Perot and an executive position at EDS.
I’d had all the structure I needed for a spell and needed to get loose and wild. In his orginization it was to be short hair, shaved, white shirt w/dark suit and tie. No nada way Jake and I went my way in blursville. Wouldn’t have changed a thang if’n I could. It’s a wonder I survived, but I did so now I get to be a hemorrhoid at will when the fancy strikes me in my ole age at four score and four.

80’s was 24/7 oil boom and then 24/7 oil bust, ’cause crews were down to skeleton, worked just as hard for less money. Bright side was all the yankees who came during the boom and did nothing but b!tch about the heat, work load, no quart sized Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull and Texas were poof! gone. 😀
Finally got out of it in the early 90’s and saw there was life out there.
