I came across this video last night. It shows two things:
1. The biggest, heaviest car doesn’t always win.
2. Automotive safety has come a long, long, long way in the past 50 years.
The dummy in the Bel-Air bonks his head firmly into the ceiling and eats a steering wheel sammich. The dummy in the Malibu prolly walked away with slight achiness.

Does anyone out there really think they are not coming after your 401(k) and your IRA’s, all in the name of preventing a default on the debt of course. Tax Cheat Timmy has already raided the government employees retirement funds, Socialized Security funds were spend a long time ago, state and municipal retirement plans are grossly underfunded, but since they are mostly unionized, they will be left alone other than the “suggestion” that they might want to increase their government bond holdings. The government owns the manufacturing sector and the finance sector of the economy right now, has shut down oil and R&D activities. It owns the housing sector and is the sole decider of who goes to college and where since it took over the college loan program, so what is about the only thing left?
Don’t think they don’t see those huge piles of cash sitting idly over there minding their own business. Once the debt ceiling is lifted (and it will be lifted, and there will not be any tangible spending cuts) the government will once again be in the mood to borrow some more money. Problem is, no one wants to lend to us anymore and the ongoing idea of just running the printing presses 24/7 is starting to draw some heat, so where do they look next?
Tax Cheat Timmy’s friends at Goldman-Sachs have told him where the money is, and it won’t be long until we wake up and discover that the only eligible investment for these funds will be government bonds. Get ready, here it comes. After all, these are excess fund to you, they are not doing anything just being invested in the private sector, you won’t be needing the money for a while anyway, so why not let your government put that money to good use for you? Now does it make sense?

Here’s a pretty good demonstration of our overall debt situation and the effect of some of the proposed solutions.

Go buy some batteries and some bottled water. Boil some water, gas up the old hoopey, shutter the windows and doors, get the pets inside. Check the kids for ticks. And don’t forget your portable radio. Yes folks, there’s a tropical depression in the Gulf, and if you listen to the press, I’m sure that you will realize that no matter what preparations you take, you will still be doomed. Provided of course you survived the falling sky resulting from Congress’ failure to raise the debt ceiling. No need to run, you’ll just die tired. If the right one don’t get you, the left one will. Ive really been looking forward to hearing the reporterettes shrieking about this on radio and TV (except I don’t have a TV). I t should be good because they’ve been desperate since Hurricane Season opened 2 months ago and they haven’t had one yet to “report” on.

El Gordo,
One just cannot get enough “looking” at the reporterette’s profiles. I especially like Channel 2’s Traffic Reporter. I will be retiring later this year and will have to be more cautious.
Ms Simple will begin to wonder why I am interested in the early morning traffic condtions, when there really is no need.

EGMy wife has been hearing from the home mortgage people that so many road blocks are being put up on conventional loans that most loans now are going FHA which are exempt from most of the new rules the private sector are faced with. No coincidence me thinks.

Here are the top 20 Bills identified by the North Texas Tea Party as being important to pass in the Texas Lege for advancement of the Conservative Agenda. Five of that list of 20 passed. The 15 that didn’t pass are:
o Number 1: HB 297 Nullify ObamaCare
o Number 2: HB 296 Enforce immigration laws and require mandatory E-Verify
o Number 3: HB 12 (or SB 9 in Special Session) prohibits Sanctuary Cities in Texas (neither bill had big penalties)
o Number 4: HB 623 Detect and Report the full costs to Texas of illegal immigration
o Number 5: HB 292 No anchor babies in Texas (no automatic citizenship to children of illegal aliens)
o >Number 6: HB 177 No driver’s licenses for illegal aliens (could be used to vote illegally)>
o Number 8: HB 779 No taxpayer funding of abortions
o Number 10: HB 298 Exempt Texas made firearms or ammunition from Federal regulation (Leo Berman withdrew his bill because Montana was already in Fed. Court over it)
o Number 12: HB 187 Zero-based budgeting for the State of Texas (to help cut unnecessary State spending)
o Number 13: HB 756 Cap the maximum rate of growth of State spending
o Number 14: HB 312 Limit increases Property Tax appraisals
o Number 15: HJR 37 TX Constitutional amendment to require two-thirds vote to raise taxes
o Number 17: HJR 46 TX Constitutional amendment to release school districts from unfunded State mandates
o Number 20: SB 174 Prohibit Eminent Domain taking of private property for recreational purposesNot on that list is Campus Carry and the Range Protection Act, but they were more important to Gun Rights advocates (but not with Joe Straus and the Establishment Republican Leadership).
There was a Republican supermajority in both houses of the Lege. The only reason any of this did not pass is because of action (or inaction) on the part of the Establishment Republican Leadership. If there is anything on that list that you think should have passed, and know that it was something popular with a majority ofTexans (such as Sanctuary cities and Eminent Domain restrictions), ask your Lege member if he still has his Pledge Card, or if he has he already given it to Joe Straus. Remember it when you go to vote in the Primary for the Senator who will replace KBH, and that David Dewhurst was responsible for getting legislation through the Senate.

#3 El Gordo, Monday night after the Anointed one spoke, daughter sent me a text message that went something like. “Hubby is on-line buying ammo, I’m going to learn to make my own clothes and we’re moving to the old homeplace in Alabama and hubby will grow our food.” When I called her she bragged about her little garden and said that the okra and tomatoes she had for supper came from the garden. Then she went on a rant about one of her employees that makes over 100K a year using the “Lone Star Card” when he got laid off for three months. She couldn’t understand it and was Pi$$ed about it.

Good morning Hamsters. Smothering 78 at 6, only slightly less miserable than 97 last evening at 7 with a strong breeze out of the west. Will have to water the patio plants this morning instead of then–too uncomfortable to be out very long. Yikes.
Report as related to me by a fellow Greater Fort Bend County Tea Party member on the Move On dot Orgers at Pete Olson’s Sugar Land office yesterday noon. The libs had a contingent of about 8 consisting of aging 60’s hippy types and one young spawn of hippy types by the looks of her. Tea Party folk—wearing their colors–stood in the office building lobby in front of Pete’s office. The libs were inside. Voices eventually raised inside and nasty words spoken such that Pete’s staff gave the choice to leave or the police would be called. They left but congregated around the outer office door, grumbling. Tea Party folk walked inside. One of our ladies split the uprights–walked between two libs semi-blocking the doorway rather than going around ’em. 🙂
Reports from other Rep’s offices indicate the libs did not bring out supporters in herds. Hmmm.

Dreams of a dictator – Our HNP waxes wistfully in front of one of his favorite racialist organizations about how easy Hugo Chavez has it:
“Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own — and believe me, right now, dealing with Congress–”
The audience interrupted him with chants of “Yes you can! Yes you can!”
“Believe me — believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting,” Obama responded. “I promise you. Not just on immigration reform. But that’s not how — that’s not how our system works.”
And believe me…we believe you!
Taranto gives him a lesson on being a leader:
Being a dictator is a relatively easy job. Even junior tyrants like Bashar al-Assad and Kim Jong Il can do it. All a dictator needs to be effective is the ability to instill fear. An effective democratic leader needs to be able to command respect.

G’Morning all
Thanks for the concern and kneemails for me yesterday. Good news from my doctor. The disc didn’t rupture, When I adjusted my recliner, apparently I didn’t have my mouth fixed just right and my compressed L3 pinched down on my sciatic nerve. No surgery required. I will be on a medicine regimen for a month and then go to physical rehab for some amount of time.
TT. Sorry to hear about brother in law. Other than kneemail, can we do or offer any help?

How long before Weepy turns on the water works?
Boehner, R-Ohio, needs to do more than pump up the legislation. He needs to shore up his standing with tea party-backed conservatives demanding deeper spending cuts to accompany an almost $1 trillion increase in the government’s borrowing cap. Many conservatives already had promised to oppose it.
…
Tuesday’s Congressional Budget Office analysis said the GOP measure would cut the deficit by about $850 billion over 10 years, not the $1.2 trillion originally promised. Even more embarrassing was a CBO finding that the measure, which would provide a $900 billion increase in the nation’s borrowing cap, would generate just a $1 billion deficit cut over the coming year.Hey, whatever happened to that $6 trillion in cuts?

As far as the Establishment of both parties, I agree.
But I’ve seen comments made by you and others on another site that lumps the Tea Party in with the Establishment and calls them but tools being used.
The Tea Party is driving the Establishment crazy, or perhaps, driving them sane.

I saw your post yesterday with the link to the inverting table. Thanks for the info. Right now I’m trying to live with a constant pain level of 3 with excursions to about 7. It ain’t no fun. Kinda takes one’s good humor away so y’all prolly won’t be seeing too many of my twisted logic remarks for a few days.
I’m going to try your inverted idea later on today with a makeshift piece of plywood. If it helps, I’ll be immediately ordering an inversion table.

#18 There’s a substantial number of zealous Republicans (mostly freshmen) in the House that prove you wrong. Right now they are telling Weepy they aren’t going to play his game and they’re winning. The question is are there enough republican capitulators to join with the socialist ostriches and strike a “grand bargain”?

Weepy’s grand plan of 900B in cuts OVER 10 WISSIN YEARS doesn’t even qualify as significant as a wart on the dog’s butt; in fact it is an insult to those who have the capacity to think. We are running a deficit of around 1.6TRILLION every wissin year, until the “glide path” of the deficit turns to running a surplus within 5 years, none of the plans have a chance of accomplishing the stated goals. The only way to make the above happen is with dramatic cuts to government, and just so Little Timmy Geithner understands this, that means the government is going to have to shrink, not as many employees and not as much money.

1 Cut up the credit card and cease all discretionary spending.
2 Pay something on all bills.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for as long as it takes. -

#25. Is there a deal?
When there is a deal that credibly reduces the deficit, I’ll admit I’m wrong. Reducing the deficit is only defined as spending less today than you have in revenue – aka a surplus. That is what decreases the deficit. None of the plans out there even remotely comes close to decreasing the current deficit – they all continue to add to it.
Note: I said “credibly”. None of the deals currently out there qualify. Credibly, in my book, means real cuts, now and into the future and realistic projections, not spending cuts that are really cuts in the rate of increased spending, no double dipping – not unicorn farts and Wizard of Oz jelly beans.
Face it, it will never happen in government as it exists today , I don’t care what letter is after whose name.
Mathematics will, however, do what the TOOPARDEEDOOWOPOLY(cool word I learned from Hamnous) will never do. And we will be MUCH worse off because of it.
Just like the grim reaper took care of the evil that the Massachusetts voters never could.

Simple GOP solution … Double the terms of the CCB and send it back to the Senate. Every time it fails double it again.
The “no planners” will only wish for the original back. Don’t let that happen. The backup baseline room for negotiations is 25% of the last one sent.

The “no planners” will only wish for the original back. Don’t let that happen. The backup baseline room for negotiations is 25% of the last one sent. -

Is there a deal?
There doesn’t have to be a deal as long as those hard-assed Republicans in the House hold together. So far, not only are they completely ignoring any Democrat plan, they’re telling Weepy to pee up a rope too.

“…over the weekend the El Paso Times detailed an alleged gun smuggling operation in which Obama administration officials were selling military grade weapons to drug cartel members in Mexico… the allegations are that weapons have been regularly transported from the Dallas/Fort Worth area to El Paso, Texas and/or Columbus, New Mexico. From either of those locations they then crossed into Mexico.
What kind of weapons are we talking about? According to Pajamas Media the weapons in view include “‘anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,’…[as well as] grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.” The theory is that said weapons are being stockpiled in Mexico for a specific place and time: perhaps even the 2012 Mexico elections.
It is alleged that these weapons were sold “through a…[referred to as] ‘U.S. Direct Commercial Sales.’” …if the allegations are true, the program has more or less served as a cover for other operations (like selling military grade weapons to drug cartels in Mexico).
As a matter of fact, one Mexican drug cartel member who has been questioned claims that all the weapons he and his men possess “were obtained in the U.S., many of which were sold to them by the United States government.” It’s important to note that the difference between these guns and those tied to “Gun Runner” is that the DOJ was over “Gun Runner” but the State Department was allegedly behind direct sale to Mexican drug cartels.Scary. Dang scary. And I’m sure there was all sorts of “transparency” on this.

#29 SD: There was an assplosion. A 4″ pipe from the top of the holding tank, up through the roof about 1 foot over the roof line would keep the box ventilated, no build up of gasses and not as hot or smelly for those who need to fill the tank either. Simple, safe cheap and effective, I guess that is why they don’t do it.

I don’t hold out much hope of the House Republicans holding out for serious reform. Can’t say I necessarily blame them. Last time we went through this CJ the voters blamed them and let the Democrats skate, giving Willie another term.
In the end I think we’ll come to the inevitable conclusion that Pogo was right: We have met the enemy and he is us.

I am having a big surge of skepticism on this one.
A universal flu vaccine that protects against all strains may be within reach in the next five years, replacing annual shots developed for specifics flu viruses, the chief of the National Institutes of Health predicts.
Well this may sound promising, but wait theres more:
Collins cited the long-term flu shot in a wide-ranging discussion of many advances coming from NIH research. Amid budget debates now underway in Washington, D.C. that could also trim NIH’s $31billion budget, he made the case for research investments that improve the nation’s health.
Oh, now I get it, we have to keep and increase the funding so that we can get that miracle vaccine that we will only have to take once and never get the flu again. . . . . . . . . .it is a derivative of unicorn farts.

35 inches. Then there was tropical storm Claudette in 1979:
The highest one-day total was reported near Alvin, Texas where 42 inches (1,100 mm) of rain fell. This remains the twenty-four hour rainfall record for any location in the United States.

Still have the nasty scar where I duct taped my leg together when I kicked with my legs to get back out. Oh yeah, and my girlfriend was 8 1/2 mo. pregnant and lost everything she owned. We had the kids in the attic. Nevermind….. Forget my previous post. 🙁

Things are not all wine & roses on the Democrat side of the aisle.
A House Democrat indicated Wednesday that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) might not have Democrat votes locked down for his deficit proposal.
“I’m not going to commit to something that nobody I know has seen and had a chance to analyze,” said Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.). “I want to see it.”
I thought all their plans were fully detailed?

There’s definite evidence to that. Boehner had a bill written but delayed a vote on that bill in order to rewrte it. This whole reason is that conservative representatives revulted over is original bill. If we go Super Commitee that’ll pretty much guarantee tax hikes and more debt spending.

At a lengthy hearing on ATF’s controversial gunwalking operation today, a key ATF manager told Congress he discussed the case with a White House National Security staffer as early as September 2010. The communications were between ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office, Bill Newell, and White House National Security Director for North America Kevin O’Reilly. Newell said the two are longtime friends. The content of what Newell shared with O’Reilly is unclear and wasn’t fully explored at the hearing.
Sounds like someone in the National Security Council?

Throughout the 80s I kept reading the talking point of cars “being designed to crucnch under the hood so that you won’t”. This referred to cases of collisions. The physiscs is interesting. The rigid ’59 Chevy was not built to fold in during a crash and so the energy of getting hit transfers back to the dashboard. This pushes the dashboard inward during highspeed hits. In newer cars, by folding in quickly under the hood the bulk of energy is absorbed into those folds. So while you’ll get more damage during low speed crashes with newer cars as opposed ot older ones, overall corporal safety is higher in newer cars than older ones.

Whoever approved this operation should be charged with lots of counts of accessory to first-degree murder. Ditto everyone who knowingly participated. Ditto everyone who was in a position to stop it and did not.
There are also numerous lesser felonies involved, including approval of firearm sales to know felons through bypassing of background checks, sales of firearms to foreign nationals, sales of firearms to known strawman buyers, sale of controlled weapons (automatic weapons, grenades, etc.) without proper licensing, etc.

Weston Hicks at AgendaWise, in a commentary about an OpEd, shows us how all the Establishment Republican and squish mouthpieces operate:
Rangel used a popular moderate strategy to make departure from conservative principle look good while making conservative adherence to principle look bad. The trickery lies in their definition of “legislative effectiveness”.
Rangel’s misdirection isn’t complicated. Instead of defining “legislative effectiveness” as adherence to principle, he defines it as getting bills out of committee. This strategy leaves out the poor voting record of moderates, the quality of their bills, and the excellent voting record of conservatives. In short, it leaves out everything that matters.
This moderate definition of “legislative effectiveness” is convenient, since Straus’s moderate chairmen held up bills by conservatives in committee or killed them with tricks, as in the case of David Simpson’s anti-groping bill at the end of the special session.
In the case of good legislation, forcefully demanded by voters, Speaker Straus made sure moderates wrote and carried the bills so they could soak up the credit. Moderates also wrote and carried many bad bills, but under the “who got bills out of committee” definition of “legislative effectiveness”, even passing bad bills counts as effective legislation.

But wait! There’s more!William Newell, the former head of the Phoenix field office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, was pressed by Rep. Pat Meehan, R-Penn. to identify all the federal agencies involved in the operation.
In response, Newell identified the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Internal Revenue Service as “full partners” with the ATF.

#78 Darren – It’s probably hard to grasp since a couple of the links are broken now (this was five or six years ago) but Cracker (she’s a woman, btw) linked to “guest blogger” James Wolcott. It was really a ridiculing and satirical interpretation of what Wolcott may have written. This was based on an actual Wolcott article from 2004 where he “rooted for hurricanes” the year that Florida (Republican White Cracker Heaven) got hit with four hurricanes in one season:
I root for hurricanes. When, courtesy of the Weather Channel, I see one forming in the ocean off the coast of Africa, I find myself longing for it to become big and strong–Mother Nature’s fist of fury, Gaia’s stern rebuke. Considering the havoc mankind has wreaked upon nature with deforesting, stripmining, and the destruction of animal habitat, it only seems fair that nature get some of its own back and teach us that there are forces greater than our own.
His idiocy ceased one year later, in 2005, when he learned that apparently Gaia is a kloset kluxer that hates black people and had aimed her sacred vagina at NOLA.

Well to be (vanity) fair, he’s still an idiot, but I don’t think he roots for hurricanes any more. He was rooting for more black people to die in NOLA so it could surpass 9/11.

I figured as much once I realized that “James” was a different link than “Wolcott” in Cracker’s “James Wolcot” “Wolcott’s” link is dead so I assumed “James” wouldn’t be worth clicking on neither so originally I didn’t. I originally went to Cracker’s site you linked because it seemed really odd you’d present Cracker as your friend and blockquote a despicable pronouncement. It was despicable in terms of conservatives and in terms of religion in general. It was only after I went back to cracker’s link that I realized “James” was a separate link than “Wolcott” and clicking on “James” showed clear criticism from Cracker to Wolcott.
So, while I can’t say “Cracker’s da’ man!”, may I say, “Cracker’s da’ dame!”

Muslims are calling for the execution for homosexuals in America, this was just released yesterday and it shows you that they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible, the Judeo Christian God. They seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do. Because these people are livid about enforcing their laws, they know homosexuality is an abomination. And I continually reach out to the homosexual communities on this radio show, and I warn them, which ones love? Here you have Obama condemning it behind the backs of the homosexuals but to their faces he’s promoting it. I say this to my gay friends out there the ones that continuously nitpick everything I say. Hollywood is promoting immorality and the God of the Heavens in Jesus names is warning you to flee from the wrath to come, yet you have Muslims calling for your execution. If America won’t enforce the laws, God will raise up a foreign enemy to do just that’s what you’re seeing in America today. Read Leviticus 26 America.
This was a message from a certain Bradlee Dean. He is/was (I’m not sure) a hard metal musician (it looks like drums) but who now runs his own ministry.
What part of that openly advocates support for the Muslim extermination of gays? It seems to be less an advocation of killing gays as a warning that there is a threat that they will be executed if they do not move away from the lifestyle they have chosen. Yet Rachael Maddow reported:
“The Muslims are calling for the execution of homosexuals in America. This was just released yesterday and it shows you that they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian God. But they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know homosexuality’s an abomination. If America won’t enforce the laws, God will raise up a foreign enemy to do just that.”
Her report makes Dean’s messag an open advocacy to kill gays as Muslims desire. Dean is now suing Maddow and MSNBC for $50,000,000,000. If wins even a small portion ofthat, that should help Maddow think twice before opening her mouth.
The distorted message is also propogated by other media outlets and since Bachman has cimplimented Dean’s ministry, this reporting hurts her as wel..

Last summer we packed Oldest son in a box and sent him to Grandma nad Grandpa in Illinois. Last night we packed him in another box and sent him to Grandma and Grandpa in New Mexico. His grandmother called a minute ago and boasted to Mrs. Darren how well Oldest Son’s doing on the shooting range. She said that he shot the 9mm and is currently shooting the .22 rifle. He did so good that they moved the targets to the farthest part of the range and he’s still hitting them. That’s our boy, all grown up and hitting the targets.
/Excuse me while I wipe away a tear of pride.

Sarge,
The actions of certain tea party groups are difficult to defend. That Patrick got some leaders to sign on/get co-opted to his caucus was disappointing. I hope they learned their lesson. Especially so the rest of us will stop getting painted with their brush. (I am NOT including the delusional big flopper on that blog in this.) -

This is worthy of a Hamous front page post.
In typifying how a program should be judged based on what it does and not what it was intended to do, Thomas Sowell states the following:
The United Nations, for example, survives as a glorious idea, despite how corrupt, counterproductive, and even dangerous its actions are.
That’s simple and makes sense. Especially to a conservative reader. So, what about the debt cieling? What has it actually done as opposed to wha it shoud be doing? Has it capped spending? Nope. It’s simply raised when governemnt wants to spend more. So, as far as I can tell, it’s main accomplishment is as what Sowell states:
Regardless of what it is supposed to do, what the national-debt ceiling actually does is enable any administration to get all the political benefits of runaway spending for the benefit of their favorite constituencies — and then invite the opposition party to share the blame, by either raising the national-debt ceiling or voting for unpopular cutbacks in spending or increases in taxes.
And, pointing out the current fiscal situation:
The Obama administration is a classic example. When all its skyrocketing spending bills were being rushed through Congress without even being read, the Democrats had such overwhelming majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives that Republicans could barely get a word in edgewise — even though their words had no chance of stopping, or even slowing down, the spending of trillions of dollars.
Now that the bill is coming due for all that spending and borrowing, Republicans are suddenly being invited to share the blame for either raising the national-debt ceiling or enacting whatever other unpopular measures will be legislated.
Here’s what Sowell argues if there were not debt cieling:
Those who got the political benefits from handing out trillions of dollars of taxpayers’ money (plus borrowed money) would also get the clear and sole blame for the resulting skyrocketing national debt and all the unpopular consequences.
They spent the money (money that doesn’t exist) and thus they should suffer the wrath of the credit holder which is ultimately the American people.
So, why not repeal it?

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A West Virginia public vocational school has been shut down indefinitely after traces of methamphetamine were found throughout the building during an investigation of the principal and a teacher.
State Police Sgt. Andy Perdue said Monday that traces of the drug were found in the ducts, principal’s office, hallways and bathrooms of the Boone County Career and Technical Center. Perdue says the teacher admitted he smoked meth with the principal in the principal’s office.
Drugs are bad for you.

HOA enforcement is performed by former Middle School hall monitors who never intellectually progressed beyond the age of 13.
Sounds like Shannon has received his share of DRV letters. 🙂
This opinion is largely untrue. The purpose of DR enforcement is to ensure that homeowners maintain the visible parts of their property to the standards they agreed to, when they bought the property in the first place. I gave a funny example yesterday of zealous DR enforcement, but that was a management company, not the HOA. The HOA is your neighbors who volunteer to perform the thankless tasks involved in keeping up the property values in the subdivision. One of those tasks is to try to hire a mgmt co that is the right degree of obsessive. Not too hot, not too cold.

South Korean scientists said on Wednesday they have created a glowing dog using a cloning technique that could help find cures for human diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, Yonhap news agency reported.
A research team from Seoul National University (SNU) said the genetically modified female beagle, named Tegon and born in 2009, has been found to glow fluorescent green under ultraviolet light if given a doxycycline antibiotic, the report said.
The researchers, who completed a two-year test, said the ability to glow can be turned on or off by adding a drug to the dog’s food.
So, in the near future if grandma or grandpa glow in the dark, don’t panic. It’s just science unless, of course, they are putting drugs into their dinners.

Last year, Sarah Palin-hating comedian George Lopez said that if the former governor of Alaska ever became president, all Latinos would move back to Mexico.
On Tuesday’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” he took this further saying that if Palin gets to the White House, he’ll move to Canada (video follows with transcript and commentary):

When the Libyan intelligence agent convicted of the 1988 deadly bombing of Pan Am flight 103 was freed from a Scottish jail in 2009, he supposedly had just 90 days to live, thanks to advanced prostate cancer. In fact, that medical prognosis formed the basis for his release “on compassionate grounds.” But, yesterday, Abdel Basset al-Megrahi — the man a Scottish court of law found responsible for the deaths of 270 people — put in an appearance at a pro-Qaddafi rally, outraging the British government and reviving the debate of whether he should have been released in the first place.
That debate should be short. NO, he should not have been released.

The HOA is your neighbors who volunteer to perform the thankless tasks involved in keeping up the property values in the subdivision. One of those tasks is to try to hire a mgmt co that is the right degree of obsessive. Not too hot, not too cold.
Personal / anecdotal testimonial here, but of the two I’ve dealt with they’re 0 for 2 on the hot – cold balance, with both falling squarely on the overly intrusive / nibby-noser side of the balance. I have no use for them. When our H.O.A. told us we couldn’t pass out fliers concerning a child molester in the neighborhood because they were worried about liability I decided they were worse than useless. And yes, that was the H.O.A. and not the mgmt. company.

DEAR CONGRESS, Last year I mismanaged my funds and this year my family and I cannot decide on a budget. Until we have come to a unified decision that fits all of our needs and interests, we will have to shut down our checkbook and will no longer be able to pay our taxes. I’m sure you’ll understand. Thank you very much for setting an example we can all follow.

I understand the concept, the reasons, the necessity for HOAs. Sorry, I’m just not interested.
As Sowell said, judge an organization by what it actually accomplishes and not what it’s supposed to do.

Marine Corporal Todd Nicely is nothing short of amazing. The 27-year-old is only the second American to survive losing both his arms and legs to a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.
After months in rehab at Walter Reed Army Hospital, Cpl Nicely mastered the use of his prosthetic arms and legs, recently passed a driving test, earning his license. Being able to drive means freedom to Nicely, and it also allows him to visit other wounded vets and show them that the losing a limb does not mean a life sentence in a hospital bed.

Anders Behring Breivik’s manifesto, penned before his horrific mass murder in Oslo, contains 1,500 full pages of text, yet the New York Times has not asked readers to pore over it and help them find information relevant to their coverage of his terrorist attack
Heh, like they’d do that. So, what’s in Breivik’s manifesto?
But the champions of the “No Labels” movement are content to leave “Conservative Christian” completely unexamined. Where’s the nuance from the MSM? David Frum calls himself a “conservative,” and so do I, yet our positions on myriad issues couldn’t be more different. Nancy Pelosi calls herself a Christian, and so do I, yet our positions on even more issues couldn’t be more different. Where is their curiosity to find out what Anders Behring Breivik meant when he called himself a “Conservative Christian?”
Good question and Ezra Dulis takes a look at Breivik’s manifesto. Here’s what Dulis sarcastically reports:
But Breivik’s actual words completely contradict the “Conservative Christian” caricature. Below, you can see how, to save the environment, he wants the world to rid itself of oil consumption. You can see how he wants a one-child policy, government control of private industries, the breakup of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, the military support of Russia to prevent a possible U.S. invasion of Europe, and the removal of all U.S. military bases from European soil. Yes, the tea party platform through and through, folks!
Conservative? Of what kind? The Labour Party of Norway, I’m sure, would love to embrace these policies, if they haven’t thought of these particulars in the first place. “Conservative?” Hardly. What about “Christian?” Dulis points out Breivik’s own words regarding oil elimination and being envrionmentally friendly:
For the last fifty years, the white race has arrogantly refused to obey these eternal laws and it will pay a heavy price unless it comes to realise the futility of continually fighting against Mother nature. King Canute realised it and other human races continue to realise it but whether or not the crack-brained Liberal-Multicultural disciples have the humility to realise their folly of battling with Mother nature is quite another matter.
But be in no doubt whatsoever that Mother nature will demand they pay the heaviest price for their arrogance and she will not care one iota if the entire white race has to pay too. Mother nature knows not pity as even self-righteous Liberal-Multiculturalists will find to their cost, you can be completely assured of that. (p. 399)
“Eternal laws”? “Mother nature demanding”? Ha, “Conservative Christian” my, well, Conservative Christian butt. And trashing white folks is also a very strong Liberal talking point. and I conclude that before reading Dulis’ citation of Breivik’s:
I’m not going to pretend I’m a very religious person as that would be a lie. (p. 1344)
Myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God. We do however believe in Christianity as a cultural, social, identity and moral platform. This makes us Christian. (p. 1307, 3.139)
“Christian”? Really? More like a sociologist than a “Christian”. And this is after he talks about “renting two high class whores” for his time of martyrdom. That sounds jihadist to me.
And Dulis provides much, much more juicy details from Breivik’s manifesto.
