What happened, did they close down the marshmallow factory?

I think the Warmmongers have now decided that unicorn farts are 10 times stronger than CO2 as a greenhouse gas.

Her baby died so she’s suing the USCCB. Not because her baby died, but because they didn’t let her decide to kill it first.

Good morning, Hamsterville. I bet Adee would enjoy having a pair of unicorns in her pasture.

from yesterday’s #57 TT:
That is one funny darned commercial. -

She wanted an abortion, so she went to A CATHOLIC HOSPITAL?
Methinks she was one of those front-line instigators. She would have sued in any case, because she doesn’t like the stance of the Church on abortion. Kinda like Fluke made a big deal about birth control, for about the same reason – to make a stink and give a platform for changing laws to meet the liberal agenda. -

I’ll shoot them drones down myself, if I catch them on my property. No one is going to stop me from shooting all the rabbits and squirrels I want.
Wonder if she’s as good a shot as Aggie “dead-eye”

For a second, I had to ponder, is this the loin-fruit of Tedtam or of Ms ST? Then I remembered seeing LD’s post last night. Me, I would never shoot a bunny. 🙂

This is a wild story but it appears to be verified.

God bless these men and their strength. I can’t even imagine what they went through during that long, long night.
What is it about liberals that they think their ideology gives them the right to destroy private property? Look at Occupy and its roving bands of brigands that destroyed businesses and vehicles as they roamed the streets. And then there’s this band of loonies who want to vandalize a church because they disagree with its moral stands.
And what is it about the authorities that they can’t stop this crap? We in American are granted the right to “peaceably assemble”. I don’t think the Founding Fathers believed that political discourse should resort to destruction of property, private or public. -
Trail mix or just mixed nuts?
-
With cranberries.

OH, I guess I forgot the Tea Party…but they were dealing with a level of oppression that we can see but haven’t…quite…reached….yet.

Dare I mention it looks like your Dead-Eye has wet his knickers? -

I saw that video. Those “women” were nothing short of a crazed mob. My belief is that the authorities didn’t do anything for two reasons:
1. It’s Argentina, which is neck-deep in serious economic problems right now and the gov’t there is looking for anything to distract attention from that.
2. Even if they are completely loco, it’s still considered very bad form to use violence againstwomenfemales. Even if said females are spraying paint into people’s faces, spitting on them, draping underwear on them, etc.
Those men had lots more self-control than I fear I would have. The Holy Spirit surely had his hand on them. -
#7 TT
She wanted an abortion, so she went to A CATHOLIC HOSPITAL?
That’s not what it said. It said she went to the closest hospital because her water broke. It didn’t sound like her initial visit was a test to see if they would offer her an abortion. So I guess later some jakeleg ACLU lawyer got into the mix.
-
Ah, I guess I misread the article.
-
If I was the judge I’m afraid I’d say “You wanted your baby dead. He’s dead. Are you suing because you wanted to pull the trigger?”

Apparently “Techie” is the new “Retarded”.

That’s so techie.
Nope. Doesn’t have the same ring to it. -
Heh. One of my nephews showed me a t-shirt while I was in Florida. It was a picture of an ice axe with the caption reading “Toys for Trots”.

Hey Hammie
This guy really is offended by crackers. -

I say, if they’re protesting because they want equal treatment – treat ’em equally. Incarcerate their wisses, boobs and all.

With cranberries.Trail Mix leads to Granola, which leads to granola munching bunny huggers. It is the root of all evil.
So.
Mixed nuts is not Trail Mix, it is a gate way to Trail Mix. Mixed Nuts describes the annual convention of PETA, a collection of bunny hugging granola munchers. It can therefore be logically said that Mixed Nuts causes Trail Mix which causes Mixed Nuts.
Given the condition of the bunny in the pic, those two guys did not appear to be bunny huggers, although their plan may have been to gut it and stuff it and keep it in their pocket and take care of it and name it George and pet it and keep it nice and soft forever and ever.
Cranberries do not belong in Trail Mix, it heaps abomination on an abomination. Cranberries are, however, an essential ingredient of good GORP, a trail food from which this race should never have deviated. -

I’d go further than you. Treat them exactly how a crazed mob of men acting in that manner toward a crowd of peaceful people standing around a Cathedral (male, female, mixed, doesn’t matter) would be treated.
Tear gas, pepper spray, fire hoses, clubs.
Thoroughly applied with great vigor. -

Say what you will about those who live in Seattle, but their homeless flasher community sure does aim high when they commit theft.

#13 TT: The men should have been armed with clubs and a clear visible line drawn on the ground with a large sign painted with the stern warning: you cross this you will suffer severe structural damage and will likely bleed profusely.
Then follow up with the specified action. It will only take one such incident for this kind of crap to stop.
You are absolutely correct, political discourse does not give anyone the right to deface another’s person or property. Those who are being attacked, and those feral humanzes were on the attack, have every right and I say duty to vigorously defend themselves and their church. -
The wanker Mark Pryor, who voted for Harry Reid as Sen Majority Leader and for ObamaCare is now invoking his faith to try and keep his worthless buttocks in the Senate.

She said “nipple” -
What’s the difference between GORP and trail mix? Looks to me like a Schroedingers Cat kind of thing. It becomes one or the other depending on who eats it.

What’s the difference between GORP and trail mix? Looks to me like a Schroedingers Cat kind of thing. It becomes one or the other depending on who eats it.GORP in its purest form is Good Old Raisins & Peanuts, although it is personalized through modification by the addition of more types of fruits and berries, and sometimes the nuts are replaced by some other crunchy component that is NOT granola . Trail Mix ix an adulterated GORP that has a predominance of nuts and adds in spices, and other products such as wheat chex and pretzel sticks not found in nature. Historically, Trail Mix is where we first note the introduction of granola into trail food.
Trail Mix = More nuts + granola = Death of The Civilized World
GORP = Fewer nuts, 0 granola = Hope of Mankind. -

Coincidentally, I purchased a bag labeled “Trail Mix” from the vending machine this morning. The only ingredients were good old raisins and peanuts, sunflower seeds, and a few filberts. No salt or spices. No granola or chex.

No doubt the Rotund Weepy Mormon is behind it.The evidence is powerful.
John Huntsman Sr. is a major stockholder in General Foods. GF owns Wheat Chex. Chex Mix was first foisted on the population at the same time as Trail Mix was (and is an ingredient in both “mixes”).
I’ve been studying the situation for a year. I am ready to expose the ugly truth. Tomorrow. I promise it will change the way you look at Wheat Chex, Trail Mix, and Glennnnnn Beck forever. -

Will you have charts and white boards and bowls of spaghetti to connect the dots?As this is an educational presentation, and since I am learning all of this just slightly ahead of the rest of you, I will present it as if I am a teacher who is also learning.
I will have a chalk borad, but will also have an eraser.
There will also be audience participation. The audience will be composed of learners who are just slightly behind me in understanding, and have been carefully chosen by my staff for their ability to gaze at me with wonderment and awe as they learn all of the things that I am just now learning as I present them to you, as well as their ability to physically exhibit the change that comes over them as they gain the same understanding that I have.
But I caution you. What I am about to reveal is earth shattering. B prepared to have your entire life changed. -

There is no telling what emotions bringing this earth shattering, life changing news might elicit within me. I will endeavor to remain stern and steadfast, but sometimes all of this new information overwhelms me as I reveal it to you in the same manner as I have come to know it.
You might cry, too, under such circumstances. -

Handsome Son lost his job a little over a week ago, when the jerk he was working with tried to get Handsome to physically fight him. For some reason, Jerk has never liked Handsome, and has done everything to make he could to make Handsome’s life miserable. Handsome took it for months, then was assigned to work with another guy, whom he really liked. When likeable guy left for another job, Handsome was way stressed out. He was assigned to work with Jerk, and continued with the rude comments and ill treatment. The day Jerk tore off his shirt and dared Handsome to take him on, I advised him to go to his boss and tell him that it wasn’t good for customer relations to see their employees behaving this way.
The boss fired Handsome. Handsome was a helper, the other guy was a full tech, and work was slow. Handsome filed for unemployment, but he really wanted to work.
Handsome just came in from a job interview. He thinks he has a job, though he hasn’t gotten final approval yet. The manager is going to talk to whomever, and they’re going to put Handsome through tech training for his A/C work give him a job as a tech instead of just a helper. The only glitch is that Handsome is taking a class one night a week, and for some reason that’s an issue – I gather they do a lot of night shift installations or some such.
Handsome hasn’t been this happy in days.
I told him cleaning up pays off…. 😉 -
#59 TT: I tried sending back lots of junk-mail in the prepaid envelope to AARP, they keep sending me crap but the prepaid envelopes are gone. I guess I will keep getting AARP crap and they will lose money with each and every mailing, no one in my extended family is an AARP member.

How about this one, Sarge?
Too “Gatsby.”
I’m trying to be a common man of the people, just learning these things slightly ahead of the rest of you and reporting them as soon as I learn them.
Maybe something like this. -
I’d go with this one. It’ll bring back warm and fuzzy memories for your target audience, the Gen-Xers.

Speaking of Chex Mix, there was some in big bowls on the refreshments table at that butterfly garden event I went to last month. One bowl held the traditional spicy flavored that I can barely remember making decades ago. (I just looked up the recipe and confirmed that Worcestershire Sauce is the main flavor ingredient.) However, the other bowl included some little oddball snackeroonie bits I didn’t recognize, so I tried some of that also, and found it was SWEET.
I mentioned that story to my husband, who got all fired up and wanted some Chex Mix. He bought a bag labeled “Traditional” at Food Doodle, but then reported he could barely taste it. This is due to some medication he takes, which has robbed him of most of his smell and/or taste sensing. I took a look last week at Kroger and see there are now 19 flavors of Chex Mix. There is even a Trail Mix variety with “chocolaty candies, raisins, peanuts, pretzels and wholesome wheat Chex and corn Chex.” I wouldn’t imagine chocolaty candies would do very well on the trail in warm weather. -
Washington (CNN) — Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, one of Obamacare’s architects and staunchest supporters, is also the only top congressional leader to exempt some of his staff from having to buy insurance through the law’s new exchanges.
snip
In September, Reid told reporters, “Let’s stop these really juvenile political games — the one dealing with health care for senators and House members and our staff. We are going to be part of exchanges, that’s what the law says and we’ll be part of that.”What a lying, flip-flopping, talking stack of feces.

I didn’t think Bashir had any shame. I didn’t think Messin’ B.C. had shame either. So I guess either there’s some level of shame that’s measurable with mass spectrometer put on its most sensitive setting, or there was enough pressure from the public to force some sort of movement.
I’ll let you figure out what kind of movement.

I’m not much of a football viewer, but I did happen to catch that game. I agree it’s ridiculous what the league is trying to do. Mountains from molehills. The bolded section says it all. It’s not like it made a difference to the outcome of the game, so who really cares?
-

We must stop this bullying in the NFL! And low hits, high hits, and in between hits! Flag football for everyone! No kick-off returns! Rename all teams after benign inanimate characters so as not to offend anyone! All the players should be made up of dance troupes that can provide half-time entertainment.

We grew up raking pine needles.
NOT a fan of them either. -
Hey now, pine needles are rustic treasure for garden mulching.
-
Oh no. Not the pine-needle-as-mulch kerfuffle again. I renew my offer for you to come rake up all my pine needles any time you want.
-
I have a pile of pine straw and grass clippings 15 feet long by 6 feet wide by 4 feet high. Anybody can have the top 2 and a half feet just for the taking. It has been growing since 2000 when we moved into Glorious Copperfield.
-
Thanks for all the mulch offers, but I also have a decade+ of blower-genned leaf litter up against a brick wall/fence. I don’t think it’s 4 ft high. We used to rake and bag fall leaves before CoH required those $2 recyclable bags for pickup. And then Ike and the 2011 drought thinned out some of our big old trees, so we have less reaching the ground.
-
Rake pine needles?
Really? -
I forgot to mention that the bottom foot of my unturned leaf litter is full of earthworms. I occasionally need to shovel out a bit of that soil to fill a hole or something, but it disturbed me that I would usually cut some worms.

St Augustine doesn’t grow well under a mat of pine needles.
And we had a circle drive that Mom wanted clear of pine needles.
And the drive needed to be clear for skate board racing after Texpat and I invented the skate board. -
I raked acorns.
Three oaks, each at least 100 years old down one side of the front acre.
The wind would blow the oak leaves away. The acorns stayed. Dad didn’t like the sound they made when the lawn mower spit them out at the car. Couldn’t burn ’em. Had to ration them out into the trash each week, a couple of grocery bags full at a time One year we did find a Tom Sawyer kind of solution when we organized an acorn war in the neighborhood. Kids running around all over with Red Rider wagons with a couple of bags of acorns on each to go find a suitable ambush site from which to launch an attack on unsuspecting kids. The other parents were not amused. -
Who said we don’t have beautiful autumns in these parts, you just gotta be quick to view. Just two days ago we noticed the gorgeous colors of the oaks at our new place, now the trees are bare…and leaves are on the ground….on the skate drive.

Outdoor Christmas decorating is finished except for a few minor things that will not require lots of work. Inside is moderate chaos in a mixture of fall stuff and Christmas clashing. Gratefully we will not be having company during the Christmas season; the guest bedroom and bed are full of all sorts of two season decorations either waiting to be put away or put out. No room for guests. 🙂

Just go with the flow Ms Adee and put out Christmas decorations just after Labor Day and forget the rest.

I used to pride myself in mowing my 1/4 acre bumpy lawn with basically one arm. I eventually got smart and bought a self-propelled lawn mower but today my asthma has gotten so bad that I dare not do the entire mowing in one setting. Not the lack of strength but the lack of air. And I kinda like breathing. -
Hamous, Tedtam, mharper;
I read that article either yesterday or the day before. Mharper’s correct in pointing out the dire medical circumstance of Tamesha Means. Being 18 weeks pregnant and having your water break? That can be very serious. Not nearly as serious as would be during the era of any of our births but serious still. But that’s as far as this situation seems agreeable to me. I don’t find anything wrong or “negligent” to induce birth at four weeks after the mother’s water breaks. That’s a point where the baby *must* come out and that’swhat the hospital attempted to do. The ACLU claims negligence but from what? I do not find a single report of any health consequence upon Tamesha Means. And if the ACLU’s point is that there was “risk” involved in inducing without aborting, well, welcome to child birth. Every woman who gets pregnant and carries a baby is “at risk”. The entire process itself is one where the mother literally sacrifices her own body n order to be a conduit to bring forth new human life. It’s a sheer act of charity.
All I see is something akin to Roe v. wade. Neither that case and as far as I can tell, nor in this case, is there any evidence of health risks to the mother. Like Roe v. Wade, I think the ACLU simply wants to establish abortion as a right, regardless of circumstance . -
Weather report on the 10 pm news indicates the cold front will come through earlier than predicted on the 6 pm news. Now to appear around Houston about 9 am tomorrow. And the freezing precip southern range has now sunk south of College Station. Brrr. Rapid descent into the mid 40s once it comes to our doorsteps.
Kin in Madison are experiencing lows in single digits and highs in the teens for several days and 3-6 ” snow with this front. Triple brrr. This is typical January/early February weather up there, not early December. Old Farmers Almanac prediction continues to be on the mark. 😉 -
China’s new zone was, therefore, an unprecedented act, arrogant, belligerent, and dangerous. The U.S. and others, therefore, have ignored Beijing’s rules. On the Tuesday following the announcement of the zone, the Pentagon sent two B-52s, taking off from Guam, to fly through China’s zone without complying with its rules. Since then, the U.S. has been making daily transits through the zone, and Japanese, South Korean, and Taiwanese military craft have been also making frequent flights there.
The State Department, when it advised American carriers to respect the zone, stated that its position “does not indicate U.S. government acceptance of China’s requirements for operating in the newly declared ADIZ.” That sounds fine as a technical legal matter, but the Chinese have used the compliance of American carriers to bolster the legitimacy of its zone. “The submission of flight plans to the competent Chinese authorities by airlines of relevant countries including the US shows their constructive attitude and cooperative will in upholding aviation order and security in the airspace above the East China Sea together with China,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei on Monday. “We appreciate that.”
Trust the State Department to walk into a Chinese-made trap, undoing the good work of the Pentagon. If there has been any consistent American foreign policy over the course of more than two centuries, it has been the defense of freedom of navigation. Having American planes submit to China’s expansive rules undercuts that long-held — and essential — policy.
