Well it could be worse, when I refreshed last nights page I saw the title of todays thread and was almost afraid to click on it.

Frigid good morning Hamsters. Clouds fled overnight as predicted, and it’s 32 here at the moment. Drat, the wind is back again, but the Golden Orb will be visible today. Could be worse.
Alan Grayson gets ripped off. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving weasel. 🙂 Does this mean he has fewer $$ to keep his Congressional seat next year? Poor baby. Will Debbie W-S be conducting fundraisers for him? -
GOP Rep. Stockman surprises by challenging Cornyn in Texas US Senate race.
H/T Big Jolly -
Steve Stockman has filed to run against Cornhole in the Senatorial Primary.
Monday was the filing deadline for Texas federal candidates, and Cornyn wasn’t expected to receive a serious challenge. However, the Republican Party of Texas confirmed that Stockman’s paperwork was turned into the committee. In Texas, state parties approve candidate applications before they are processed by the Texas secretary of state’s office.
The Republican party of Texas, which faces on real challenge from the other Party in most state wide races, is the Incumbent Protection Party and has no real interest in truly representing the voters of this state. They will approve the candidacy of challengers who have no real chance of winning, and who are pretty much guaranteed not to get much financial and other support from the Party or Party Elite.
Stockman was able to get in because he’s currently serving in Congress and he has some oomph—although there’s a lot of folks in the Texas Republican Party who would like to see him gone. He’s got $32,000 in the bank to run his campaign. Cornhole has $7 million, most of which he got by kissing the culos of a lot of Establishment types who support “Immigration Reform” and Smaller Big Government Run Better.
Another candidate is Duane Stovall, another good man who won’t get the support he needs from the Party folks with the big bucks. -
Best description of MSNBC I’ve seen yet:

Morning, y’all. It’s 35 frigid degrees here which makes me oh so glad to be retired and have no reason to get out in the cold. I’ll spend the morning browsing online for PhysT equipments I might need to have handy after I no longer attend Gulag sessions.
Oh and I saw one of those oval textured balance pads that Bones described recently. “Football shaped” caused me to visualize a 3-D object and I could not quite see standing on a football to improve one’s balance. The Gulag crew has not had me use that item, but if I get a chance in the remaining 3 sessions, I’ll give it a spin. -
#8 – whoops didn’t mean to be unclear – yes that is a flat (but thick) pad and really does work wonders……………………I keep mine here under my chair at the desk and flex my injured foot into it all day while I’m working – helps keep my toes loosened up and not so painful

Yet you were drawn in anyway, lured by its siren song, like an ancient mariner by a mermaid.

#8 M42: The one I loaned to BIL is a flat, round platform on top with grippy stripes and on the bottom it has the bottom 1/3 or so of a sphere, smaller in diameter than the platform. When one mounts it, one puts a foot near-ish the edge on one side and the rim of the platform anchors against the floor, when one puts the other foot on the corresponding spot on the other side (180 degrees apart) the balance aspect comes into play.
One can get benefit from walking on uneven ground with bare feet, not as dramatic as the wobble board but a whole lot easier and more pleasant. -
Who is sicker, the tranny or the one who rides it?

How can a collection of aluminum and steel machined parts become ill?

I can’t find the original post here about the balance pad. (( I thought it was by Bones, sorry Mr Katfishy. 🙁 )) I can’t seem to find it in Google. It was called a Thera-something.

Is a machine ill if it is rusty and full of sludge? -
M42: Go here While they are not all equal and one may be marginally better than the other, as long as you have 360 degrees of movement/wobble plane you will get the main benefits. The more you use it the better off you will be.

I guess I was just wondering what kind of tranny boney was trying to ride.

Did anyone watch any of the slobberfest in South Africa this am? I happened to turn on the tv when the JugEared Jackass was pontificating. Every time he opens his mouth he reconfirms to me that he is a narcissistic idjit, a sock puppet if you will.

Did they play those vuvuzelas in the stadium like at the World Cup?

#21 Squawk: Very nice indeed. I did not see in the description ifn it had A/C or not – that is a deal killer for me.

I did hear a few of those foul horns being honked. Not like at the WC to be sure, but there were a few toots.

While the video posted yesterday may not have been part of the “Knock Out Game”, it was still an attempted assault and the perp still did hit the girl in the mall.

While I whole heartedly agree with this study, the last line caused me great concern, particularly considering ObamaCare.
The research team estimated that unhealthy living has accounted for around 10% of the NHS budget in Wales since the study began.
If the objective of those currently in power is to move our country to a single payer system as is the case in GB, then it is not too much of a stretch to consider that “healthy” behavior(s) will become, shall we say, not exactly optional.
Given the incompetence of this admin, one has much to fear; imagine a tax on all who do not fall within the arbitrary BMI stats? -

My ride, a 2007 Hyundai Sante Fe, with only 156K miles is in the shop; new timing belt (2nd go around for this item) new water pump (it doesn’t make any sense not to change it out now seeing as how everything is tore down) new hoses (of course) and new spark plugs (156K on the factory plugs is enough – even ifn it ain’t). The cruel twist is that the check engine light came on and it turns out to be the CatCon, which is gonna be several hunnert dollars more. I figger it’ll be close to 2 wissin LARGE before it is all said and done. That being said, if I can get another 150K with this investment it will be money well spent.

26 Boney,
Dunno about your company’s insurer, but ours was already headed toward the wellness issue.
My cardiologist will not do surgery on any smoker and your cholesterol must be within acceptable limits.

Either end, I suppose.

#34: I am a gonna go with a Hyundai factory model CatCon; this adds about 1200 wissin dollars to the bill. . . . .
DAMMIT! -
Either end, I suppose.
Depends on what the little tyke has been eatin . . .

Correction. It was baby blue. I paid $600 for it in Austin back in 1970. Fully rebuilt 6 cyl engine, new tires and all new front end.
I sold that and bought a 1959 Chevy panel truck that I drove to California in late 1971. -
Oh how the years scramble the memory.

”If we have system in which government is in a position to give large favor – it’s human nature to try to get this favor – whether those people are large enterprises, or whether they’re small businesses like farmers, or whether they’re representatives of any other special group. The only way to prevent that is to force them to engage in competition one with the other.” – Milton Friedman

So good to see the glorious Sun again even if it is only 41 at the moment. These past several days of gloom and cold here are a great reminder of what winter in Wisconsin was like when we lived there 44 years ago. The gloom could hang on for maybe 2-3 weeks without ever seeing the Sun, and the cold was for sure really cold, as below zero sometimes for several days in a row before crawling into + territory though not necessarily above freezing, mind you.
Florists were busy selling flowers in bouquets or potted flowering plants to cheer up the mostly housebound with a hint of spring, and come St. Valentine’s Day it was a mad house business. Biggest problem for deliveries was to keep the van warm enough to keep the flowers/plants from being frostbitten before they got to their destinations. Totally amazing what one plant or a bouquet could do to lift spirits and cheer a house.
Regrettably this spell of cold and gloom usually comes in January/February up there and here, not in early December. This does not bode well for the rest of winter, there or here. -

There’s a fight brewing about the quality of the excellent American bourbon whiskeys vs the foul pipe cleaner crapola produced in GB called Scotch or crap or whatever.

Bah! Dwarves pour out better stuff than elves drink!I really just do not care for that across the pond garbage called scotch, I have found that Bulleit Bourbon is better than Wild Turkey 101.

Actually, I do enjoy Kentucky Kool-Aid from time to time. -

10 year-old kid suspended from school and faces possible expulsion for…
wait for it…
firing an imaginary bow and arrow.On Friday night’s The Kelly File, defense attorney Jonna Spilbor reacted to the ordeal. “Here’s how ridiculous it is. If we’re going to punish this poor kid for pretending to shoot a bow and arrow, let’s ticket his parents for parking their unicorn in a fire zone.”
-
#59 Pyro: THe parents of the would be archer-assasin need to sue both the teacher and the principal in civil court for emotional trauma to the kid and themselves, and for the harm done to the kid’s reputation and future employment if the incident is not completely expunged from the kid’s record. They need to demand a trial by jury so as to remove the possibility of the judge being one of “them”. If a few teachers and administrators get the pants sued offa them, hopefully this stupidity will fade away.

FYI: Cowboy Rich has been in the horse-pital (heh) for “laparoscopic double hernia”. He says it “Will slow me down another month or so but not as bad as the scalpel would have.”

#65 Hamous, from your linkie:
On Monday, the TSA issued a statement, saying under longstanding aircraft security policy and out of an abundance of caution, realistic replicas of firearms are prohibited in carry-on bags.
What was this “realistic replica” one may ask?
May told KING 5 the TSA agent went through the bag, through the sewing supplies and found the two-inch long pistol, which is about the size of three quarters. If it could shoot, it would fire a bullet the size of a cupcake sprinkle.
So, the TSA agent says ‘This is a gun.’ And May says, ‘No, it’s not a gun. It’s a prop for my monkey.’The only acceptable solution: fire the TSA IDIOT, and his/her/its immediate supervisor.
-
I dunno.
I met a gal once who had a prop for her monkey.
I gotta tell ya, she was dangerous—– -
…and she showed him her prop outside of a gate at Ft. Sill.

I hate to be such a downer at this time of year, but the news on my mom is not good. My brother said he thinks it will be quick, so I’m headed up to Boston tomorrow. January 1, 2014 can’t come fast enough.
Thanks again for all your prayers they are truly appreciated. -
Godspeed Headshaker.

Take care of yourself, Headshaker. These can be rough times, those good-byes to our loved ones. May angels protect you on your journey, and God grant you and your family peace.

On a brighter note, Handsome Son completed his first day on his new job today. I jokingly asked if any of the employees had tried to fight him today, and he said everything went very well. I think he’s going to learn some new stuff at this company, and they’re paying him more. They’re going to train him to move up the ladder, too.
Sometimes, getting fired isn’t always a bad thing. He’s made lemonade out of lemons. -
I’m hoping this doesn’t happen to my doctors’ office. I LOVE my doctors!

TT, that is great news about your son’s new job. Lemonade, indeed!
One of the best things that ever happened to me career-wise was when I made an enemy who was instrumental in having me selected for early retirement. That caused a large number of other managers to then make it their mission to keep me employed as a contractor for the following 12 years. Making twice the money I did before, plus retirement insurance and the severance package. -
Headshaker, sorry to hear your sad news. Take care.

Hang in there HeadShaker.

Sadly, methinks the initial reports of doctors now retiring early or refusing new Medicaid or even Medicare patients are merely the first couple of pebbles in the impending avalanche. And of course the evil ones behind this travesty think they are protected by their elevated status and will not want for medical attention. Unless of course some doctors refuse to treat them, which is their right.
