The Olympics are like the Cannes Film Festival, Gran Prix Week in Monaco, and the Super Bowl all wrapped up in one neat package. As such, it is a perfect draw for the beautiful people.
Who are the beautiful people, you may ask? Simple – they are the people with more money than they reasonably know what to do with and date people who are not you or anybody even remotely like you.
They don’t fly to London and stay in hotels when they attend the Olympics. They travel in real style.
They hop in their own personal luxury yachts and moor them along Canary Wharf at a cost of about $14,000 per day.
Note the ‘tender’ parked next to the freaking ship. That is a boat that is bigger than most of you will ever board.
Mixed among the beautiful people are those who are merely ‘not too bad’.
There goes the neighborhood. Next thing you know one of you people will show up in this:

Stick with private boats I guess:
Taxpayers lost $833 million over the last decade on the food and beverages supplied by Amtrak, which managed to spend $1.70 for every dollar that received in revenue.
“Over the last ten years, these losses have amounted to a staggering $833.8 million,” said Rep.John Mica, R-Fla., in a statement previewing a House hearing today. “It costs passengers $9.50 to buy a cheeseburger on Amtrak, but the cost to taxpayers is $16.15. Riders pay $2.00 for a Pepsi, but each of these sodas costs the U.S. Treasury $3.40.”
Amazon.com is currently selling 24-packs of 12 ounce Pepsi cans for $8.94 — which averages to about 75 cents per can. -
Darren shussssh. That’s where I get my stuff that I turn around and sell to Amtrak. All I had to do to get the contract was claim to be a black transgender midget with mental issues.

Don’t forget, today is the Homonazis’ “Kiss-in” day:
It remains unclear whether this protest will generate the huge crowds that turned out Wednesday to a show of support for the company’s CEO, who ignited a national debate by publicly expressing his opposition to same-sex marriage.
Really??? You think it’s unclear? Bwhahahahah! The Homonazis have unwittingly caused a merging of traditional marriage proponents, business owners, and First Amendment advocates against their bullying, fascist tactics. Several states have marriage amendments on their ballots in November. It will be interesting to see how that works out.

More people showed up at Chick-fil-a places across the country than there even are members of teh ghey.

Update from last night. According to the Chron, Ann Romney’s mare Rafalca is in 13th place in Grand Prix Dressage competition after yesterday. There are 50 entries, and the second section will ride today. The listing of 6th place yesterday came before the entire first section had ridden. Still not bad for a Yankee. 🙂

Ben Domenech on this week’s poll skewing…
Consider: the largest presidential electoral advantage Democrats have ever enjoyed in the modern era is +9. Pew just took that and slapped ten more points on it. Kudos to you, Pew Foundation polling minds, for releasing the polling equivalent of setting Julie Andrews on fire. Your brazen polling decision to skew a poll with such obvious abandon is a testament to your boldness, and a sign you are all experts in something that has never happened and will never happen. -

Good morning Hamsters. Another 76 at 6 and humid but not mugly until around 8. Southerly breeze helps some but will be more useful later on when the humidity drops as the temp rises–umm–and rises later. One day closer to the first cool front.
A blue heron has adopted our yard for the past several days even though we don’t have a pond and only two stock tanks. However within a half mile are two lovely homes with large ponds that might be the attraction. Anyway he(?) seems content to regularly make a circuit of the yards in a dignified stride, looking as though he’s examining his estate. Some days he’s around morning and evening. The resident busybody, know-it-all, pain-in-the-behind mockingbird has not challenged him. Interesting since this is the same one who chases hawks and crows out of the yard and across a pasture, cussing at the top of his lungs.
Replacing the barn roof advances in stages since we bring the mares in at night, and the builders try to have the stalls covered before they leave for the day. The barn is 32 years old (as is the house), and the original roof has served well but now leaks in too many places through nail holes that have lost their covering. All the wood beams are being replaced and a radiant barrier added under the new metal roof. This takes time to accompish in the miserable heat and bright sun. That radiant barrier makes a huge difference in temperature inside in the heat of the day. So does the white roof.
Hope all will be finished before any rains from the TS begin, or at least the roof complete even if some other things aren’t yet. -

A great commentary on the Chick-fil-a douchebag.
“What a wonderful contrast — here you have a sweet, hard-working woman trying to do her job, maintaining an amazing amount of grace,” Gutfeld continued. “And before her — a prostitute for attention. Mind you, the hateful harasser stressed he was straight. Does he worry that people think he is gay, as if that’s an insult? Maybe he did all of this to mask his own homophobia. Now, when seeing this woman’s poise under persecution, you got to ask: Whose side are you on? It’s not about gay or straight or freedom versus tyranny, it’s heroes versus zeros. Because when the temporary conflicts dissipate, and they always do, the only one left holding the bag is that young lady at the counter. She couldn’t care less who the dope sleeps with. She does her job and will keep doing her job long after we moved on to something else. Although I bet that guy is still in the parking lot recording his sad and lonely commentary.”
Okay, I’m moving on now. I hate bullies, but he’s gotten his now, and he’s sleeping in that rather hard bed that he’s made for himself.

I love Walter Williams. I remember having a discussion about minimum wage in my college classes, and how it reduces unemployment and distorts the free market. Mr. Williams isn’t a fan of the minimum wage, either.
It has a link to the entire study, here.Even and Macpherson compare the job loss caused by higher minimum wages with that caused by the recession and find between 2007 and 2010, employment for 16-to-24-year-old black males fell by approximately 34,300 as a result of the recession; over the same time period, approximately 26,400 lost their jobs as a result of increases in the minimum wage across the 50 states and at the federal level.

The Chron ran a piece on Ann Romney’s dressage horse on p. 2 of the first section. It’s written by another dithering anonymous idiot from the Ass Press, who emphasizes that dressage is a sport of the 1% crowd and makes reference to the elite who can participate. This nitwit has dressage confused with thoroughbred racing, aka the Sport of Kings, which does require a substantial bank account for most owners, but not exclusively.
Rafalca’s score in the Grand Prix test was 70.243, putting her in 13th place so far. That is a spectacular score for the highest level of dressage; that is a marvelous score for the lowest level of dressage–training level. Scores customarily get lower as the levels get higher and the skill is correspondingly more refined and difficult. Skill and refinement applies to rider as well as horse, and if Ann Romney rides at this level, she is a really accomplished horsewoman. 🙂 -

Episcopalian Musicians Gathering Features Drag Queen, Mocks Gospel Hymns
A gathering of nationally recognized Episcopal organists met for a series of concerts in Philadelphia area churches recently under the title Blessed Liberty: Honoring Our Past and Imagining Our Future. The occasion featured “Ramona” a drag queen, a gift of $10,000 from PA Bishop Charles E. Bennison to underwrite the “Clergy Day expenses, and a disastrous Panel Discussion. The events caused some 70 clergy and musicians to walk out in disgust.
The Association’s Journal in review of the daily events described “Ramona” as the “First Lady of the Hammond”. (See foto) Reports from the floor of the Exhibit hall described “Ramona” as “she” held forth on a Hammond Organ leading those gathered in a mockery of gospel hymns including “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” “[There is] Power in the Blood,” and “Wonderful Grace of Jesus”. -

999 times out of 1000, the meter is either accurate or 10-20% “off” in the customer’s favor.
My only pleasure in the whole affair is telling them I’ll be changing out the meter in the next month and to expect a 10-20% jump in their bill.
And I say it with a big, blakenty-blank grin on my face. -
Tedtam, looks like your assistant is stalled out at $250 in her dental fund appeal. She needs wider exposure to a much larger audience.

It was hammer time!!!
Romney on jobs numbers: ‘Hammer blow’ to middle classMitt Romney, responding to today’s July jobs numbers at a campaign event in Las Vegas, said the 8.3 percent unemployment rate is an example of President Obama’s “extraordinary record of failure.”
“It’s another hammer blow to the struggling middle-class families of America,” he said, per POLITICO’s Ginger Gibson, stressing that this is “the longest period of time we’ve had unemployment above 8 percent in American history.”
As Maggie noted earlier today, the 8.3 percent figure is news out of today that Republicans will focus on in the coming days. Romney is holding a press avail after his event, so we’ll update if he says more on the topic. -
Some things never change. Except, perhaps, when getting worse:
Media bias has gone from bad to ridiculous.
During Mitt Romney’s overseas visit earlier this week, 86 percent of the coverage on ABC, CBS and NBC “emphasized Romney’s perceived gaffes,” according to a content analysis of 21 major news stories by the Media Research Center, which also compared Mr. Romney’s trip to a similar excursion made by President Obama in 2008.
The results: The broadcast networks committed 53 minutes of almost entirely negative coverage to Mr. Romney, and 92 minutes of “gushing” to Mr. Obama. -

I’m a Lutheran/Catholic when it comes to Works, Darren.
I knew that when I made my post. All I wanted to do was to point out that *scriptually speaking* Abraham was justified (and we’ll leave out for now if that means “saved”) *by his works*. Somewhere along the line, works are important; even for those who adhire to the belief of being saved by “grace only”. Even they believe works are important though it follows having faith in Christ.
So, in the scriptures, we read that Abraham was justified by his works. Obviously some Episcopalians are working exta hard to avoid any justification. -

The unemployment and economic picture must be better than I thought. Republicans are taking credit for it.
Boehner said House Republicans can head back to their districts for the August recess with their heads held high.
“Our members have made a real difference in changing the direction of the country … in creating jobs and fixing our economy,” Boehner said. -
I was just talking to Hubby about the parking. It’s listed as $5/day, but after taxes and such, you’re looking at $10/day.

Well, I’m getting the “Beast” serviced and tomorrow my Huntin’ Buddy and I are heading to League City to purchase a trailer big enough to hold 2, 4 wheelers. It’s real heavy duty and has pressure treated lumber for the bed and the side rails double as ramps, not to mention the fact that you can park one of them sideways on the front of the trailer….Did I tell Ya’ “Life is Good”!! 😀

We had some kind of power glitch at the Dome, and now our downstairs a/c is out. Our upstairs unit is working, and we have a coupla fans working downstairs to help keep us cool. Hubby and Handsome are going to look at it tomorrow.

I hardly ever fly out of Hobby. When I do I park in the terminal parking real close since its a day trip for me. That, and I’m pretty price-insensitive.
That said, Parking Spot is pretty good. The long-term city lots are prolly cheaper though. -
100?
Why not. -
101! Shabbat Shalom, Y’all.

Oh, Mark Steyn. Always on the mark.
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/313103/re-put-or-shut-mark-steyn….Mitt is Mister Cautious, and I can understand that to a degree when you’re dealing with Obama and everything you say risks shrieks of “Racist!”, but if you can’t be rude about a seedy, unloved, timeserving hack like Reid, who can you be rude about?
Has Harry Reid paid any tax in the last 40 years? Who knows? He’s never released his tax returns, so we have no idea by what fortuitous process a lifelong “public servant” becomes a multi-millionaire. How does that happen?
Harry Reid has earned his net worth through his lucrative career in politics, and as a city attorney in his early years.
Oh. A career on the Nevada Gaming Commission and U.S. Senate Ethics Committee is not yet as happily “lucrative” as one in, say, Palestinian public service, but it’s getting there. Joe Biden has been in public service all his life, save a brief period in a small undistinguished law practice. His wife is a high school teacher who also worked in a psychiatric hospital. This is where they live.
Vice President Biden has been drawing government paychecks since 1970. He has some private income – for example, he rents a cottage on his estate to the Secret Service, who have to live there to protect him. So we pay his rental income, too.
Mitt Romney lives somewhat less lavishly than one would expect a man with his curriculum vitae to live. The opposite is true of many members of America’s lifelong legislative class. If ever there were a time when a bit of righteous anger and fire in the belly wouldn’t go amiss from Mitt, this is it -
You guys can’t see the post I just made on the Hammock forum, but I just baked a biscuit in my my hiking bake kit. I am so freaking stoked.
Dang I’m a cheap date. -

Extra thanks goes to Darren for the framed Mitt Romney picture, I know how hard that was to part with.

This reminds me, I did not wish you a happy birthday. So, happy birthday, my man. -
