About the pre 67 borders, is The Idiot in charge doing this out of spite or is he just plain stupid. I know that he thinks everyone in the world will do as he wishes since he’s the smartest man on the planet. Do you think he understands that the old borders left them defenseless or even cares?
And I’m with Hambone pre 967. 😉 -

So it looks like not only is Detroit illiterate, but the suck at math as well:
DETROIT – General Motors will reconfigure the plant that makes the Chevrolet Volt to expand production to up to 60,000 electric cars a year.
The Detroit-area factory, which will be shut next month, now can produce about 16,000 a year.
…
The Volt hit the U.S. market late last year and just over 1,700 have been sold through April.
So in six months they’ve sold just over one tenth of their capacity of 16,000. So let’s ramp up to not sell 60,000. Brilliant!

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.
The waitress asks them for their orders.
The man says, “A hamburger, fries and a coke,” and turns to the ostrich, “What’s yours?”
“I’ll have the same,” says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order. “That will be $9.40 please.”
The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.The next day, the man and the ostrich come gain and the man says, “A hamburger, fries and a coke.”
The ostrich says, “I’ll have the same.”
Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This becomes routine until the two enter again. “The usual?” asks the waitress.
“No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and a salad,” says the man.
“Same,” says the ostrich.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, “That will be $32.62.”
Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.
The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. “Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?”
“Well,” says the man, “several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.
My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.”
“That’s brilliant!” says the waitress. “Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you’ll
always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!”“That’s right..Whether it’s a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,” says the man.
The waitress asks, “What’s with the ostrich?”
The man sighs, pauses and answers,
“My second wish was for a tall chick with a big arse and long legs who agrees with everything I say..”

Here’s the reason why the Establishment Republican Leadership has to go.
During his 2003 run for governor, an Indiana newspaper reported that Mitch Daniels supported a form of an individual health insurance mandate.
An item in the South Bend Tribune from October, 23, 2003, on a campaign stop Daniels made to a health clinic, reported:
The candidate said he favors a universal health care system that would move away from employee-based health policies and make it mandatory for all Americans to have health insurance.
Daniels envisioned one scenario in which residents could certify their coverage when paying income taxes and receive a tax exemption that would cover the cost.
“We really have to have universal coverage,” Daniels said.
Under his plan, Daniels said, the nation could get away from the inefficient and unfair way in which health care is provided to those who are uninsured, many of whom end up in emergency rooms or “at clinics like this one.”
Newt Gingrich was for the individual mandate for health insurance before he was against it -– that was the impression given Monday in a John Kerry-esque video that the former House Speaker’s campaign staff hurriedly released to quell a firestorm of criticism about comments he made Sunday on “Meet the Press.”
Newt Gingrich, whose campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination has gotten off to a rocky start, risked fresh controversy on Thursday by suggesting that some illegal immigrants living in the United States “may have earned the right to become legal.”
I’m not even gonna link to anything about Mitt Romney, justy mentioning his name gets that point across. Huckabee had his problems with tax increases. In fact, its going to be difficult to find anyone who has been in the upper echelons of the Republican Party for the last 20 years, locally, statewide, and nationally, who have ascribed to one or another issue that has become anathema to both Conservatives and the VMG. The irony is that they did so on the advice of the political professionals, politicians and pundits of the time (many of whom are still around and haven’t changed thier way of thinking to match the new reality). This is the “We lost the election because of Rush Limbaugh’s tone” crowd—the “card check isn’t so bad, and we’re not going to get anywhere by alienating the Unions” guys—the “Hispanics are going to be the next big voting block so we have to pander to them with amnesty” idiots—the “If we say that, the media will be against us” fools—and the reach across the aisle squishes who interpreted political information to suit thier own biases against Social Cons especially and Conservatives in general (we embarass them with our tone) rather than actually listening the the voices of the People. Republicans lost in 2008 because of 10 years of spending like a drunken sailor (my apologies to drunken sailors) and doing all that reaching across the aisle the PoliSci grads told them they needed to do. The problem with Political Science is that it really isn’t a science at all, nothing with as many variables dependent on human nature can be, but those who practice it think that it is. As a result, they tend to think more of themselves and less of the advice and opinion of the governed, and end up giving advice that will eventually turn off the governed.
The real problem with 2008 is that Republicans sat on the laurels of Talk Radio and did not get into the Internet with the same gusto and expertise of the Left. Talk Radio gave them the advantages they enjoyed in the 90s and the first decade of this century. The left was slow to take advantage of that and thus began looking for another avenue through which to reach people with their message—hopefully without too many voices in opposition, and that’s pretty much what happened between 2004 and 2008. The problem with thier message is that when it is adequately debated, especially among the “little folk,” it fails to pass tests of logic, morality, and plain common sense.
Now we have an entire generation of Republican Leaders who will have Health Care and Immigration skeletons in thier closets, not to mention all the “Smaller Big Government” solutions the Republicans have been endorsing for the last two decades, and an improved means of communication among the People to bring them to light nationally through the viral operation of Social Networks. They can no longer rely on cheerleading from Talk Radio, and Talk Radio itself, beking dependent on ratings, is hesitant to cheerlead anymore anyway lest they alienate the better informed electorate.
There’s a couple of them who either read the tea leaves correctly themselves, or who listened to Conservatives who were at the time outside the Republican Party mainstream.
Which is why, of all people, Rick Perry is being considered seriously as a Presidential Candidate.
And that’s kind of scary once you think about it.

Finally the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer particle detector (AMS) makes it to the station. I’ve worked with this several times (tested), in 2 seperate labs, over the course of about 15 years, the last time was a couple of years ago.

Not to be nit-picky, but:Pre-967 B.C.
Rabbinical Judaism calculated a lifespan of Moses corresponding to 1391–1271 BCE; Christian tradition has tended to assume an earlier date. Historically, the Exodus narrative can be traced to the 7th century BCE kingdom of Judah
Since Obutthead is basing his decision on “history”, it looks like your corrected date should be 767, not 967

It becomes perfectly clear now that he didn’t attack Los Angeles out of professional courtesy.

I can’t believe that Harry Reid got re-elected. He is the definition of a braying hyper-partisan jackass. All of his positions are political and do not have the slightest interest in what is actually good for the country in the short/medium/long view. Most if not all of his positions are destructive to the country, now the butt-head is saying no to budget cuts. This is the same senate leader who has not managed to pass a budget in over 700 days.

I asked late last night, and I ask again because I think I missed everyone:
My image folder keeps crashing. This has been happening for several days now, but for some reason I am unable to restore to a previous restore point. (I guess that’s problem #2). I can open the folder, but soon after it crashes. I cannot attach pictures or manipulate any of my image files.
I found a possible solution that required deleting all my thumbs.db files and changing some settings regarding caching those thumbs files, but I’m still having problems.
I’m running XP.
PLEASE DISREGARD. FOR SOME REASON, IT WORKS NOW.
Only after I publicly ask for help, to make me look like a fool, I’m sure. Dang sassy computer! -

#19 TT: There are some serious heads that need to roll at USDA! That is one agency that I would cut by approx 80% to prevent the outrageous wissin stupidity that was illustrated in your linkie thingie. It seems that attitude is becoming more prevalent in gov’t agencies which is reason to cut them back dramatically, they have become like a kudzu vine that is taking over the yard.

I discovered “Rainier Cherries” several years ago and man are they good. They LQQk and taste just like a Native, Wild plum that grows in south Alabama. They’re here now but will only be in season for a few weeks. HEB has them for $8.00 a Lb, expensive but worth it. 😀

Actually 7th century BC = 700-601 BC, giving us 667.

Somehow the hyperlink keeps getting hosed on the map. But anyway, from the link:King David ruled Israel from 990 BCE to 968 BCE
968 BC is pre-967 BC.

Bionic Man? Paralyzed man stands, steps after spine treatment.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – A man left paralyzed after a car accident was able to stand and take steps after electrical stimulation of his spinal cord in what researchers described as a breakthrough in treating such devastating injuries.
Rob Summers, a 25-year-old former college baseball pitcher, can also move his hips, knees, ankles and toes — and has regained some bladder and sexual functionality, researchers said on Thursday.

The truck, owned by Grafton County, caught fire May 12 just outside Hatchland Farms, which Hatch owns. The closest a fire truck could get to it would have been about 1,000 feet away, Hatch said.
“The fields were very wet,” he said. “We were very limited on how we were going to put this out.”
Hatch and others at the fire tried to use several hand-held extinguishers. No good.
So he called the dispatch center and told them not to send a truck. A 25-year veteran of the fire department, he said he would handle it himself. He also told them how he was going to do it, by drowning the fire in liquified cow poop sprayed out of the back of a wheeled storage tank pulled there by a tractor.
There’s a video linked in the story.
It didn’t hit the fan, but only because it was too hot to raise the hood.

Not knowing form sure, I’d say Dave’s answer makes the most sense. The dog would lack the aptitude and ability to steer the chute after being deployed and thus would likely not land anywhere near his master or anyplace else that would do anybody any good.
Of course, that assumes we’re not implanting control chips in their heads——

I had a blind friend who used to parachute with his seeing I dog. I asked him how he knew he was about to hit the ground.
He said it’s easy. The leash goes slack.

I don’t know about ya’ll, but I’m making my party plans starting at 6:00pm tomorrow and going thru till October, according to the Rapture Dude.
Best I can figure, although I’ve accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior, I’m thinking he might hit the “REJECT’ button when my number comes up tomorrow evening at 6:00.
I suspect it’s going to be a giant drug and alcohol addled, modern day Sodom & Gomorrah tomorrow after 6:00pm till October for the folks that are left here on Earth.
Anybody know what the line on this gig is? Mebbe I could put a little jack on the line just in case the Rapture Dude is off on his rapture cipherin’.

The man said in his book that he would “side with the mooslim community every time.”
When you start with the premise that he’s a mooslim, everything else becomes perfectly clear.

Having declared himself on the side of the demonstrators and no longer the defender of the status quo, many of the participants in the Arab Street will ask Obama to make his bones. And the only way President Obama can prove that he’s on their side is to throw one or two dictators their way. The Bush plan would be to throw Khamenei and Assad to the crowds first. But that appears to be off the table, because he wants to talk to them, so in the Obama variation the alternative appears to be giving only America’s allies in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel, the heave-ho. When it is too hard to ditch your enemies, ditch those who trusted you.
Snip
President Obama’s words are not just speeches. They communicate policy. They set wheels in motion, if not in American bureaucracies, then elsewhere in the world where listeners react to them and make plans of their own. They can create a momentum that must either be seen through or lead to bust. He may be gone from office in several years, but the consequences of his words will outlive his term. Will there be a new Middle East, with all its minorities and confessions living in relative harmony? Or will it be bust?
Excellent words from Richard Fernandez.
Hold That Tiger -
In doing his balancing act on Israeli and Palestinian fears and hostility, he says this:
“I’m convinced that the majority of Israelis and Palestinians would rather look to the future than be trapped in the past….We see it in the actions of a Palestinian who lost three daughters to Israeli shells in Gaza. `I have the right to feel angry,’ he said. `So many people were expecting me to hate. My answer to them is I shall not hate. Let us hope,’ he said, `for tomorrow.’”
That’s genuinely touching. But in the specific case Obama cites — that of Izzedin Abuelaish on January 16, 2009 — there is strong reason to believe that the three girls were killed because of Hamas, that is Palestinian, actions.
According to an official Israeli inquiry, Hamas snipers on the roof of their five-story building were shooting at Israeli soldiers. The tank returned fire. In addition, though, the investigation could not rule out the possibility that the girls were killed by an explosion of explosives and ammunition being stored in the building by Hamas or even by fire from Hamas forces.
In other words, the president took an incident where the cause was unclear and blamed Israel for it. And of course the tragic deaths of these girls took place because the United States did nothing to help prevent Hamas from taking over the Gaza Strip and then Hamas broke a ceasefire and attacked Israel.
Emphasis mine.
Obama Middle East Speech: A Big and Revealing Mistake That Nobody Has Noticed
And that tells us what we need to know: President Obama and his colleagues don’t get the facts straight and tend to blame Israel. In other words, Obama counterposed the reaction of an Israeli father whose son was murdered by Palestinian terrorists to that of a Palestinian father whose daughters were murdered by or because of the actions of…Palestinian terrorists.

In an effort to satisfy those arguing he needs to seek congressional authorization to continue US military activity in accordance with the War Powers Resolution, President Obama wrote a letter to congressional leaders this afternoon suggesting that the role is now so “limited” he does not need to seek congressional approval.
“Since April 4,” the president wrote, “U.S. participation has consisted of: (1) non-kinetic support to the NATO-led operation, including intelligence, logistical support, and search and rescue assistance; (2) aircraft that have assisted in the suppression and destruction of air defenses in support of the no-fly zone; and (3) since April 23, precision strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles against a limited set of clearly defined targets in support of the NATO-led coalition’s efforts.”
A senior administration official told ABC News that the letter is intended to describe “a narrow US effort that is intermittent and principally an effort to support to support the ongoing NATO-led and UN-authorized civilian support mission and no fly zone.”
Emphasis mine.
In other words, NATO has equivalent authority as the US Constitution and the US Congress if the president determines that the US involvement is sufficiently limited? I wonder if Micheal Medved will say this is disastrous but Obama isn’t intentionally destorying (by undermining it) constitutional authority.
