Believe it or not, I’m just now getting ready to go to bed.
Hubby better LOVE those (*%@)@#)(!!!! blueprints I had to piece together for him.
See y’all much, much later. -
Good morning Hamsters. Getting dampish 68 and rising at 6:30, but most of the rain is now supposed to come tonight and into tomorrow. We can use it again. Just hope it isn’t heavy in places so there’s flooding–again.
The picture above looks like somewhere in the Midwest this spring. 🙁
LSM is of course treating the Benghazi hearing like it’s radioactive. Which it likely is for them and their masters. We need a Select Committee appointed to dig deeply into this. Hear that, John Boehner? -
Bristol Stool Chart. The rest of the story.

Whoa! Who knew Hammy & BC were long lost relatives? ROFLMAO

#4: Sounds like a typical conversation around Sunday lunch (AKA Big Dinner) between me and my 5 siblings at the house where I grew up. My mother was regularly grossed out.
-
Good grief.
-
The folks at the Chron must have strained mightily to place a Casper Milquetoast- strength story about the Benghazi hearings on p. 3 of the main section. Shades of Peter Sellers as Dr. Stangelove in his wheelchair trying to hold down the arm that eventually succeeds making the Nazi salute. ‘Cept this isn’t a Nazi salute. It’s barely peeling back the edge of the disgusting blanket coverup.

When my older sisters would bring a new beau over for inspection we would save the really gross stuff for them to see how they could handle adversity. I hafta say that we scared a few off.

Those wuz some gnarly old ads, Daverino. The last one shown on my screen was a Dell laptop ad, not off on the edge, just in the vertical line-up. -

#4: In the big scheme of things analysis of said product can be quite instructive. If one knows what goes in and what goes out, one can derive how the system is functioning and likely get an early warning of a bad problem brewing. Early intervention is usually the key factor in successful cancer treatment, for example.
Modern car engines work so well because the product going in is analyzed before it is burnt, then the exhaust is analyzed and adjustments made to the mixture (fuel/air and spark timing) to achieve optimum.
Granted the human gut is far more complex, but similar analytical ideas can be used to diagnose and then design a treatment plan for problems, should they be revealed. -
This is CLASSIC!! (not to mention hilarious too!)

I watched that yesterday. I love the pinch! -
What do you do if you’re a washed-up Glam Rocker searching for relevance in a post-modern, multicultural world where mere cartoons incite bloody riots across the globe?
Why, make a video offensive to Christians, of course. It’s the only politically correct thing to do.
Just once I’d like to see these “brave” artists do the same to Islam. -
It’d be hard to do the equivalent for Islam without getting arrested, since it might involve portraying the **coff** “prophet” **coff** having marital relations with his 6-year old bride.

4. We now have a bifurcated economy: we have what’s left of the open-market economy and we have the cartel-state economy of various rentier arrangements. A rentier arrangement is one in which the input costs can keep rising due to political power/protection while the output declines.
Our economy is now dominated by rentier arrangements. This is one of the core reasons it is stagnating, the other being a parasitic, corrupt financial sector that depends on phantom collateral and accounting trickery for its survival.
Rentier arrangements include the financial sector (hated by the public but politically sacrosanct), the National Security State (you can never have enough people spying on the world, including Americans), healthcare (costs triple while the availability of care and the health of the populace decline) and education (college tuition rises 600% when adjusted for inflation but a third of the graduates learned essentially nothing).
Protected from the discipline of the market, these quasi-monopolies vacuum up an ever-increasing share of the national income while their output/yield declines. Where $200 million bought four top-line fighter aircraft a decade ago, now it buys one; we have reached the point where we can’t afford our own fighter aircraft. And many in the military conclude the $200 million-each F-35 Lightning (by some estimates of full program costs, $300 million each) is an underpowered, bug-ridden dog, less capable than competitors and the aircraft it replaces at four time the cost, the F-18 E/F Super Hornet.
For decades, those entering the rentier cartels were assured of lifetime security. Get a job in healthcare or education or the defense/national security sectors, and you had it made. But these bloated rentier arrangements are bankrupting the nation.http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-05-04/college-grads-its-different-economy

Great spot. 🙂 -
Ole Mo (urine be upon him) is a great example of someone occupying the office of the antichrist. Others would be Pharaoh, Herrod, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Lennin, to name just a few. As foul and murderously destructive as those mentioned are, can you imagine how bad it is gonna be when THE antichrist shows up?

I haven’t heard any guesses as to Where Is the Wagonburner At??

Okay, I’m a geek. I love watching the stuff on this page.

#21 good article
There are opportunities, but they require a deep understanding of risk and security. A livelihood with day-to-day low-level insecurity and volatility is actually far more stable and secure than the cartel-state one that claims to be guaranteed.
The burdens of Fed manipulation and the cartel-state rentier arrangements will come home to roost between 2015-2017. Those who are willing to seek livelihoods in the non-cartel economy will likely have more security and satisfaction than those who believed that joining a rentier arrangement was a secure career.Where is this “non-cartel” economy?

I saw that pic in a collection of “weird photos” a couple of weeks ago. Seems like it was along the Mississippi around St. Louis.

The wagonburner is at his swanky office in beautiful north Houston.

But yanno I cannot base my musical enjoyment on the political whims of too many artists. Good grief I would not listen to anything but Beethoven I mean check out this list of musical luminaries and some of their “protest” songs. Granted Bovine Bowie’s is a real standout in idiocy.
I suppose the only safe music is…….. -
Oh and lest I forget
Margaret Upchuck Band
but not for their political slant. -
Phil Ochs
Heh -
Squawkie – on the political leanings of various artists, I agree. I don’t generally let that affect what music I listen to. Take for instance Steve Earle. I still like his music even though he’s become the Sean Penn of Americana music. What I don’t cotton to is “sacrilegiousness” of art for shock’s sake. Look at me! I made a video mocking Christians! I don’t see this as a political issue.

If Jupiter was where the moon is, we would be its satellite, not vice versa.
🙂 -
Where is this “non-cartel” economy?
In your industry, I guess it’s boutique, recreational chemical manufacturing.
-
And I can’t handle Phil Ochs because he’s the slightly more male version of Joan Baez. Man, that voice could curdle your milk!
-
For some reason, I assumed it was a giant orange glove, not a perspective trick.
-
Hamous
Yeah I agree.
Actually the comment I made was kinda sorta a stick in the eye towards folks who on one hand get all wrapped around the axel about the Dixie Chicks but luv the likes of Johnny Cash. If ya spend much time studying his songs they were mildly Seegarish in tone and message. Oh and talk about anit-war which was part of what got the chickies noodles in hot water Cash was ANTI-WAR. -
Sorry Hammie
I had to throw Ochs in there for grins. HE IS the male version of Joan Baez for sure. -
Squawkstewr surely you aint giving Don Henley a free pass??? (love his music / despise his political bent)

Mr. Fish
Nope, but there are just wayyyyy to many to list. -
true DAT!

Just for you, Squawkie.

Residents of Detroit – some of them, anyway – are learning that leaning on the government ain’t all its cracked up to be. God bless ’em, some of them are stepping in and taking care of things themselves.
Cutting grass in the parks.
Providing emergency vehicles.
Paying for their own security.
Boarding up vacant houses and mowing the grass there.
Maybe there will be some civic duty/civic pride developing there. MAYBE the ones who are trying to make their neighborhoods livable again will have the righteous anger towards those who would just take and take, and attitudes will translate into voting changes.
I know, I know — I’m a dreamer. -
Priceless.
Cruz strikes again. -
The next time somebody asks me what I would think would be the worst way to die, I have a new answer.
I cannot imagine the terror that both he and the dog went through. -
Perhaps a peek back at the now obsolete meaning of the original English word, divers, would cast some light on the true motives of the diversity crowd. Our word, diverse, came from the old English, divers. The second meaning in the OED of this original word goes as follows; “Differing from or opposed to what is right, good or profitable. Perverse, evil, cruel, adverse, unfavorable”. These preachers of diversity are nothing more than a truly “divers” bunch themselves.

As The Obama Brass Sat Quietly By, The Islamic Cleric They Had Invited Cursed US Heroes at Their Funeral -
#53 Whiskerfish: from your linkie:
At the National Press Club, the families disclosed that the Obama administration prohibited any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, but invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen Navy SEAL Team VI heroes, who disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen by damning them as infidels to Allah.
After reading this, can anyone still claim with any credibility whatsoever that 0 is a Christian? The treasonous bastige is a mooslime, and a terrorist enabler.

Good things happen when you eat bacon. Yesterday the news was that a 105 year old woman eats bacon every day. Well, today, she got a ride in the Weinermobile through her home town of Richland Springs, Texas (population maybe 100). I grew up about 15 miles from there, and I can tell you it’s not often spots like that make the national news.

My workday continues at 8 pm tonight with a phone-in staff meeting. Did I mention it starts at 8 pm?

What was the last thing that went through Princess Diana’s mind?
The radio. -
I got a million of ’em.

Well, Niki’s very excited.

Nope. China. The project champion is stationed there, and his schedule trumps everyone in Texas. He’s a Frenchy, too, and the combination of accent and sometimes less-than-crystal-clear conference call line, well, we’re lucky to comprendez 20%.
The group wants to give me a going away lunch next week, and to bring David. David does not do social events any more.
BTW, that isn’t YOU, Super Dave, 🙂 -
I got a million of ‘em.
I’m lovin these, however, the Mrs.is not.

Mharper, did you tell the Frenchy to parle lentement?

Non, ich fermez le bouche.

Jeez. The Beck sycophants are as rabid as the Paulestinians.
I read some of the comments and here’s a couple of citations:
For the record, one more time, it wasn’t a Hitler pic, it was a Lenin picture.
Hitler is publicly despised by the left, who conveniently refer to the socialist big-government totalitarian as “right wing”, but they never publicly condemn Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc. The picture was LENIN, NOT HITLER. Beck did this deliberately, knowing Hitler was a low hanging fruit for left wing criticism… and apparently, uninformed Powerline criticism as well.@ Dave Perkins. Here’s his facebook posts (https://www.facebook.com/david.perkins.7758). I don’t find him “rabid” or a “sycophant”. Do you? In fact, out of curiosity, which comments on your link do you find “rabid” and “sychophant(ic)”?

did you tell the Frenchy to parle lentement?
Heh! 🙂 And loud, don’t forget loud. Speak loud and slow and anyone can understand you. 😉
