RIP Tex.
Western crooner Tex Ritter succumbs in country-music capital
January 02, 1974
On this date in 1974, Tex Ritter died in Nashville, Tennessee. The native of Murval, Texas, attended the University of Texas, where he was influenced by Frank Lomax and J. Frank Dobie. Some of his greatest hits were “Rye Whiskey,” “Wayward Wind,” and “You Are My Sunshine.” His performance of “High Noon,” from the movie of the same name, won an Oscar in 1952. Ritter appeared in eighty-five movies and starred in the television series “Ranch Party” (1959-1962). In 1964 he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. John Ritter, his youngest son, starred in the popular series “Three’s Company.”Two of his best:

Happy Birthday, Roger. RIP
Roger Miller born
January 02, 1936
On this day in 1936, musician Roger Miller was born in Fort Worth. He had no formal musical training and apparently never learned to read or write music. After service in the army, during which he entertained troops in a Special Services country-music band, he moved to Nashville, where he did odd jobs and played in back-up bands for such entertainers as Minnie Pearl and Ray Price. After Miller won a contract as a drummer with the Faron Young organization, other performers began singing his songs. In 1961 he first made the country top ten as a performer with “When Two Worlds Collide,” co-written with Bill Anderson. He moved to Hollywood, where his singing career took off in 1964. “Chug-a-lug” and “Dang Me” were hits in both country and pop categories. The next year Miller scored a series of bestsellers: “King of the Road,” “Engine, Engine No. 9,” “Kansas City Star,” and “One Dyin’ and a-Buryin’.” NBC featured Miller in his own weekly variety show, which fared well in 1966 but subsequently lost out in the ratings and was cancelled. Miller won eleven Grammy awards, both as composer and performer, in the categories of contemporary and country and western. In 1985 he received five Tony awards for his score to Big River, a musical based on Huckleberry Finn. He died in Los Angeles on October 25, 1992.Dang Me

Congress approved a plan to end Washington’s long drama over the “fiscal cliff” late Tuesday after House Republicans surrendered to President Obama’s demand to let taxes rise on the nation’s richest households.
The House voted 257 to 167 to send the measure to Obama for his signature; the vote came less than 24 hours after the Senate overwhelmingly approved the legislation.
House Speaker John A. Boehner (Ohio) and most other top GOP leaders took no public position on the measure and offered no public comment before the 10:45 p.m. vote. Boehner declined even to deliver his usual closing argument, leaving House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) to defend the measure as the “largest tax cut in American history.”But wait, what’s this?
Passed Deal Means Higher Tax on 77% of Households
The budget deal passed today would raise taxes on 77.1 percent of U.S. households, mostly because of the expiration of a payroll tax cut, according to preliminary estimates from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center in Washington.
More than 80 percent of households with incomes between $50,000 and $200,000 would pay higher taxes. Among the households facing higher taxes, the average increase would be $1,635, the policy center said. A 2 percent payroll tax cut, enacted during the economic slowdown, is being allowed to expire as of yesterday.It’s nice to know that $24.00 an hour makes you wealthy and that the middle income people are protected. /Spits
All nine Texas House Democrats joined the 90 percent of House Democrats favoring the deal, which passed comfortably. Texas Republicans, on the other hand, were even more strongly opposed to the package than other GOP lawmakers.
Only four of the state’s 23 GOP House members — Kevin Brady of The Woodlands, Lamar Smith of San Antonio, Pete Sessions of Dallas and Mac Thornberry of Clarendon — voted for the bipartisan deal.Republicans voting “FOR” bill

The vote for Boehner’s re-election as Speaker happens on Thursday, two days after his decision to support the Senate “fiscal cliff” deal Vice President Joe Biden cut with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on New Year’s Eve.
Will enough members of the House go to Boehner telling him they won’t support his re-election and that he should resign gracefully? -
Ahh yes, Kevin Brady. I can always count on his representation. If I hear his name at all.

An Islamic cleric condones “intercourse marriages” that last only a few hours at a time – so fellow radicals in Syria can have a turn at the girl. This is to relieve their sexual stress and motivate them to continue fighting.
The gang rape is to assure the young women – as young as 14 – entry into paradise. Yep, being taken by a line of mujaheddin is my preferred way into a life of everlasting pleasure.Al-Arifi, expressed his annoyance at the “warriors of Islam” being denied sexual pleasures while fighting in Syria “alongside the armed opposition forces” for the past two years. He said this fatwa “solves [their] sexual problems” and “boosts the determination of the mujahideen in Syria and is considered a duty to enter paradise for those females who enter such marriages.”
Such enlightened people.

Gun Control Idiocy : Gun permits being denied to Indian women concerned about rape
After a brutal gang rape and murder, women are clamoring for a way to protect themselves, but are being denied by the authorities and their strict gun laws.Figures show that a woman is raped in Delhi every 14 hours and rape cases have doubled in India since 1998. Government efforts to step up police patrols have failed to reduce the rate of violent crime targeting women.
There have already been 274 applications from women since the incident, but most will be left defenseless as a result of India’s draconian gun control laws. To be granted a gun permit in India, applicants have to prove that their life is in immediate danger.
When hundreds of concerned women turned up in person at the Delhi licensing office, they were told that the threat of rape and violent crime “could not be reason enough” for them to obtain a firearm, and officials were ordered by their superiors to hand the women a letter assuring them that “their daughters were indeed safe on Delhi’s roads.” How a letter would be any use against a violent rapist was not explained.
Almost all of the women who apply for a gun in the interests of self-defense following the gang rape will see their applications rejected and will continue to be at the mercy of sexual predators with no means of protection, once again re-affirming the fact that gun control laws create more victims while aiding violent criminals who are free to target the innocent knowing they will face little or no resistance.And now, coming to a White House near you…

The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist continues….
Sixty percent, or 6 million pounds of syrup, had vanished, worth about $18 million wholesale. The bold and baffling heist counts as one of the largest agricultural thefts ever, dwarfing the 860 head of cattle snatched in Queensland, Australia, last spring and the potato patches the size of a football field that were dug up in British Columbia in August.
Indeed, the syrup trail soon led to free-market renegades inside and outside the province who opposed what was, in their view, a Communist program. It wasn’t just about syrup, or money. It was a miniature Canadian Cold War.
Bossé knew their Québec warrant was no good in New Brunswick; at one point she says she pretended to wipe her derrière with it, gave the police the bird, and locked the side door.

From the NYT’sWASHINGTON — One of Shell Oil’s two Arctic drilling rigs is beached on an island in the Gulf of Alaska, threatening environmental damage from a fuel spill and calling into question Shell’s plans to resume drilling in the treacherous waters north of Alaska in the summer.
The rig was not drilling, it was being towed for maintenance. A drilling rig does not tote around crude oil with it, all that is aboard is it’s own supply of diesel and maintenance fluids.
If this were a ship carrying scientists into the Artic to investigate global warming that ran aground, would we be hearing how much diesel fuel and motor oil was on board? -
So the fiscal cliff is the most pressing thing around you say? Not according to JugEars, who had to head back to Hawaii without signing the bill, so that he could continue his $7million taxpayer funded vacation.
HEADLINE: Obama In Hawaii, Fiscal Cliff Standoff Behind Him
HONOLULU (AP) — President Barack Obama is back in Hawaii for vacation after a tense, end-of-the-new-year standoff with Congress over the fiscal cliff.
The president arrived early Wednesday morning, local time, after an overnight flight aboard Air Force One. He was rejoining his family for a holiday break after having returned to Washington following Christmas to deal with the unfinished business that threatened to throw the economy back into recession.

The White House had no immediate update on when Obama would receive and sign the bill.Now that we are all clear on what his priorities are, perhaps we can now concentrate on hanging on to that which we want to keep.

Bazzards Do they not realize this will cut into prostitution profits? I know some lot lizards that have been married what? 5 or 6 times and swore they would never do that again. This law would force them to break their own moral code. Time to stand up for lot lizards in Muslim countries folks. This is a heinous injustice. Why I could lose my piano playing job too.

The manchild is absolutely clueless, he has been mainlining commie propaganda his whole ife and actually thinks it must work.
We can’t simply cut our way to prosperity. Cutting spending has to go hand-in-hand with further reforms to our tax code so that the wealthiest corporations and individuals can’t take advantage of loopholes and deductions that aren’t available to most Americans. And we can’t keep cutting things like basic research and new technology and still expect to succeed in a 21st century economy. So we’re going to have to continue to move forward in deficit reduction, but we have to do it in a balanced way, making sure that we are growing even as we get a handle on our spending . . .
Today’s agreement enshrines, I think, a principle into law that will remain in place as long as I am President: The deficit needs to be reduced in a way that’s balanced. Everyone pays their fair share. Everyone does their part. That’s how our economy works best. That’s how we grow.We grow by private enterprise and low taxes you dipstick, your way fails everytime it is tries. The greater the tax burden, the lower the revenues. Try cutting spending you moron and stop paying people not to work and see the money start flooding to the treasury.

Both the Senate and the House passed legislation yesterday to avert and delay the fiscal cliff. But make no mistake – every worker on a company payroll is going to see a tax increase. Take a close look at the first paycheck of 2013 and compare it with the last one of 2012.
The reason is that, while income tax rates have been largely preserved outside of upper income-earners, payroll taxes are going up on everyone by 2%. In 2011, Congress passed a one-year extension of a temporary payroll tax cut, from 6.2% to 4.2%. It’s heading back to 6.2%, and not very many people on Capitol Hill were particularly big proponents.
The payroll tax cut has been of mixed merit. Democrats supported it in the past as a “stimulus” measure, intending it to help economic activity in a struggling recovery. Republicans are generallyYes, this article does stop on the adverb “generally” though I think by that point we get the picture. We gonna pay higher taxes.

It’s not the first time such a moving photo has been taken, but the imagery of a baby’s finger reaching up out of the womb is causing a stir in the pro-life community yet again.
The image snapped of the baby being delivered via a Cesarean section in Phoenix in October was released just before the new year and has gone viral. According to AZFamily.com, the photo of Nevaeh — heaven spelled backwards — reaching into the outside world she was about to join has been viewed more than 10,000 times and liked by more than 1,000 people on Facebook.Touching Photo of Baby Grasping Doctor’s Finger From the Womb During C-Section Goes Viral

I think this is an accurate description of the Boehner mind:
Don’t be surprised if House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is spotted strolling the corridors of the nation’s Capitol whistling the old Rolling Stones song “Time Is On My Side.’’
Despite the failure of his fiscal cliff proposal, known as Plan B, to generate sufficient Republican votes to win passage and his inability to stop the House and Senate from raising income tax rates on those earning more than $450,000 per year, it appears the Ohio Republican will likely retain the speaker’s position in Thursday’s lower chamber vote.
“I don’t think anyone will challenge the speaker tomorrow,’’ said one Hill GOP staffer close to the situation.And here’s reality:
But even Boehner’s most severe critics acknowledge that his return to the speaker’s chair is almost assured, given that so little time exists for anyone to mount a serious challenge. Two often-cited potential competitors, House Republican Leader Eric Cantor, of Virginia, and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), chairman of the House Budget Committee and last year’s party vice presidential candidate, are not waging visible campaigns.
(snip)
The House Republican caucus in November tabbed Boehner as its candidate for a second two-year term in the speaker’s office. A vote of the full House, including Democrats, comes Thursday with the GOP majority guaranteed to prevail.
Regardless, it’s unlikely the derision that follows Boehner will subside anytime soon. Despite a solidly right-of-center voting record during his 22 years in Congress he is persistently criticized for insufficient dedication to conservative orthodoxy, criticism that grew louder with his vote in favor of the Senate’s fiscal cliff deal last night. -
Who’da thunk it ? If you get bed bugs, just chew up some of Spot’s heartworm pills before you go to bed.
You take the pill and go to bed — perchance even to sleep, if you can sleep knowing how patiently bedbugs wait in your walls or mattress, sniffing for the sweet stream of your exhaled carbon dioxide and for your warm skin to grow still. You let them bite you. And then — in a few days — they die.
The technique is known as xenointoxication, which sounds like intergalactic beer pong but in medical pathology is Greek for “poisoning the guest.” In Dr. Sheele’s study, over 60 percent of the bedbugs died after volunteers like Mr. Tran took a single pill. Bigger or more regular doses might improve the lethality.
And it’s not as if the drug is rare and dangerous. It’s already in thousands of American households: ivermectin, the active ingredient in the beef-flavored Heartgard Chewables that kill heartworm in dogs. -

The running wheel to provide power must be in another cage. And it’s probably turning by a naked mole rat. -

Huh!!! We just watched a show on how despite all the efforts one family made to rid their house of bed bugs, nothing prevailed. Eventually they had their entire house heated to about 120 degrees to kill all the bugs.
Just take a pill I guess. -

Iranian officials have instructed residents of Isfahan to leave the city, renewing concerns that a nearby nuclear site could be leaking radioactive material.
An edict issued Wednesday by Iranian authorities orders Isfahan’s one-and-a-half million people to leave the city “because pollution has now reached emergency levels,” the BBC reported.

An unexplained explosion at the plant in 2011 is reported to have damaged the facility.
The nuclear plant also sits on an active fault line. The city of Isfahan has been destroyed at least six times from past earthquakes, a point of concern among regional experts.They put a nuke plant on an active fault line, what could possibly go wrong??
