Thursday Afternoon Open

Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 11:51:55 am PDT

This new “Favorites” feature is going to be very cool. You will like. So while I toil away in the code mine, here’s an open thread.

The Farkers are not fans of lgf:

I do love when the link states it goes to Little Green Hitlers - I now know to not click on the link.

But many of the conservative posters here know that Charles Johnson and his mentally defective gang of internet tough guys are quite unhinged, so they disguise the link as "Some Guy". Not today!

Now watch as LGF will make a link to this thread bemoaning the "seething liberalism" of fark.

Actually, a surprising amount. The protesters don't do any of it, but there is a huge class of high-tech workers that don't protest and instead drive the American economy.

Please don't tell me that Inflated Scrotum Man gave a teabagging demonstration.

Infuriatingly, the nude group didn't show up. Well, actually, about three of them showed up at the appointed time, but they never got nude (or at least that I saw). It was just too cold and foggy. They wandered into the crowd, still clothed.

As a result, no scrota.

You never know with these lame-brains) costume, and three or four police officers (my tax money being wasted) watching with amusement. The Left wants sooooooo much to be back in the '60s.

Take it from me that a broken hand does not heal in a couple weeks, and besides, you know Nomar will just get hurt again.

In another shocking develpment the competition for the Cubs closer job is on hold after Kerry Wood could not go two days in a row...

I can't believe the Cubs are hoping against hope .. again that they could get a meaningful contibution from Wood. They spent all that money on the rest of their lineup and they want Woods,Howry or Marmol to close?

"Chicago’s Kerry Wood missed a one-inning relief appearance because of lower back spasms, putting the competition for the Cubs’ closer job on hold.

The development was “a little bit of a setback, but nothing, nothing serious,” manager Lou Piniella said.

Wood, a former starter who has suffered shoulder injuries the past few seasons, had the inside track for the job over Bob Howry and Carlos Marmol. He was scheduled to pitch one-inning stints back-to-back for the first time this spring against the Oakland A’s yesterday and the Colorado Rockies today.

Wood, who has also experienced back spasms in past years, underwent treatment and will be reevaluated today. . ."

Republicans to be prosecuted in Ohio for crossing over to affect Democratic primary?

The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has launched an investigation that could lead to criminal charges against voters who maliciously switched parties for the March 4 presidential primary.

Elections workers will look for evidence that voters lied when they signed affidavits pledging allegiance to their new party...

After the election, some local Republicans admitted they changed parties only to influence which Democrat would face presumed Republican nominee John McCain in November. One voter scribbled the following addendum to his pledge as a new Democrat: “For one day only.”

Such an admission amounts to voter fraud, said [board member Sandy] McNair, who pushed for the investigation...

Lying on the signed statement is a fifth-degree felony, punishable by six to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.

So the camel gets killed (off camera) and Bear skins it (eats the fat, uncooked of course) eviscerates and guts it, then crawls inside the rib cage for shelter, covering himself with the skin. If you are going to dl it, look for Man vs. Wild : Bear meets Camel. I guarantee you that if Ladies are in the room, they will soon be gone. It is certified babe repellant.

A young boy, whom the pastor was grooming as the next saviour, stoned his mother to death for sleeping with a Muslim man.

Yeah, that happens all the time.

The Sean Astin character said things like, "They want to take over the world and establish a worldwide Caliphate!"

The Sean Astin character said things like, "They want to take over the world and establish a worldwide Caliphate!"

I guess only Christian maniacs would think such a crazy thing.

He used the term "Muslim infidels" a few times. I didn't get that one. Memo to L&O writers: we're the infidels.

I tried to watch ER a couple of times recently and stopped. First, it didn't appeal to me that much and second, their blatant anti-war messages drove me crazy.

Then in the court case the judge essentially ruled that to prove voter fraud, you had to tie a secret ballot to a voter then get the voter on the stand to waive the 5th amendment and admit to fraud.

Not always. The Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar, the secular calendar is a solar calendar. The secular calendar has a corrective day for leap year. The Jewish calendar has a corrective month for leap year.

This year being leap year, Passover will begin in mid-April. So while we're whooping it up for Purim this weekend, which is more or less correspondent to Carnival in observance (liquor, costumes), we'll be doing the austerities of Passover this year a month after Easter.

I know. I have forgotten the intricacies of calculating Easter but it has some relationship to the Jewish lunar calendar. Of course Romans and Orthodox calculate it differently, but still. Usually there is a pretty close correlation between Passover and Easter.

And the wine sipping liberals on the Upper East Side agreeing that WE aren't enlightened enough to understand Rev. Wright's anger.


FOX has a poll up at their website indicating that half the American public does NOT believe that Barack Hussein Obama shares the racists views of his close friend and minister Jeremiah Wright.

RANT WARNING

Are people in this country really THAT FUCKING STUPID? Never mind it
it's only half of them, the congregation of that damn America-hating racist church is about 5,999 too many. If half the voters are damn fools enough to give Obama the benefit of the doubt after THIS, then electing this overgrown adolescent and letting him work out his childhood family and race conflicts as President of the United States of (in his eyes) Amerikkka.

I encourage anyone curious about organic food to start with eggs, first. They're usually only about a buck more than the mega-process eggs, and the difference in taste is dramatic.

Throw in some fresh herbs from the garden, maybe a little leftover salmon & guyere from the night before...

My wife bought a 8oz smoked salmon in a box the other night, and though I love smoked salmon, we fed it to the racoons who frequent the outside cat food dish.

The cats in, and out of our home, as well as the wild critters that show up, don't know how really good they have it.

Except that you do need to watch the national brand "organic" eggs very, VERY carefully. It seems to be pretty common in many stores to repack them into new boxes with more remote sell by dates. We bought those for a bit, but the eggs were often old. A box where half of them were rotten was the last straw. Now we buy local organic eggs. And I'm thinking of keeping chickens.

Did anyone watch Law & Order last night?

Sean Astin played a crazy, anti-Muslim Christian cult leader who was brainwashing young children so they could fight Muslims in the coming war.

A young boy, whom the pastor was grooming as the next saviour, stoned his mother to death for sleeping with a Muslim man.

Yeah, that happens all the time.

The Sean Astin character said things like, "They want to take over the world and establish a worldwide Caliphate!"

I guess only Christian maniacs would think such a crazy thing.

He used the term "Muslim infidels" a few times. I didn't get that one. Memo to L&O writers: we're the infidels.

L&O has been a lost cause for years. The days when they would devote an episode to exposing the practice of FGM is years in the past.

In the WA voter debacle, the election board checked ambiguous ballots and determined voter intent. The candidates were Christine Gregoire and Dino Rossi, one ballot had a write in for Christine Rossi. The board gave the vote to Gregoire.

Then in the court case the judge essentially ruled that to prove voter fraud, you had to tie a secret ballot to a voter then get the voter on the stand to waive the 5th amendment and admit to fraud.

I remember that bullshit, jcm. The GOP got screwed. I love it when the libtards cry about the GOP stealing elections. I'll guarantee you 99% of voter fraud is committed by the dummycraps.

I can guarantee you that the early American Indians and colonists did not boil them alive. They would not have had kettles even remotely large enough. Lobsters in the 4-6 foot range were about average three and four hundred years ago. That is why the clam bake :)

Even today most real lobster lovers grill or broil the lobster rather than boil it - and kill it immediately before putting it on the grill.

it's a funny dirty (which is why I excuse it - ordinarily I'll tune out
vulgar people. I guess it's different coming from an Englishman).

The

ladies who go around cleaning people's houses, or rather, the dirty
socialist cubbyholes that apparently pass for houses in parts of the UK.

399 Fat Bastard Vegetarian  Thu, Mar 20, 2008 1:21:53pm

Do you realize how early Easter is this year? As you may know, Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar. Found out a couple of things you might be interested in! Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare.

Here 's the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here's the facts: 1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!). 2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!

True - though my family broils while clambaking LOL. Been doing it a couple hundred years or so according to Gramps. I would not touch a boiled lobster if it was the last on earth. But then I am picky that way. Meat shrinks too much. I also happen to think that is is a bit mushy compared to instantly killed lobster. Of course I know salmon fishermen that swear the same about salmon - you have to kill them instantly they come out of the water.

Competence is the Great Equalizer - DistantThunder

Here we have Lt.Col. Allen West running for Congress in Florida. You may remember him as the commander who shot off a firearm next to the head of an insurgent thereby getting his to reveal that the group was about to be ambushed. West then reported himself to his superior officers.

Allen West is the black face of America that I want to see everyday and in my dreams: honest, respectful of America, resourceful, competent, admirable.

I'm sick of the whining victims like Obama that will excuse every hated:

feminist hatred,
muslim hatre,d
palestinian hatred,
black hatred,

except white hate....that is inexcusable - according to Barak.

Speaking of people who would make excellent running mates for McCain.

I still think a recent episode of Medium takes the cake for this kind of crap. The villian is a senior Senator from Arizona, who was a POW in Vietnam, who killed & ate a fellow POW, then killed another POW in order to cover it up.

I saw that one. My daughter and I like Medium but that episode was a slap in the face to every POW and their loved ones.

Last night, on CBC TV, I paused to hear what the program was about. The announcer said something like, "So, 9/11 didn't change everything, it just gave George Bush and associates an excuse to pursue their goals."

When I was a teenager in Montreal, french fries with gravy were a new thing to us English kids from the suburbs. I've never seen poutine in Toronto but, then again, I've never looked for it! (Barf is right!)

I grew up on Kraft Dinner. My husband adds hotdogs to his. I once had a friend who added tuna to his. I've seen people put ketchup on it. (Now you'll really want to barf!)

I'm always happy if I can find "New York Fries" at a mall because they're tasty and they're gluten-free. (No gravy.)

You can't beat Canadian maple syrup, though. (That would be kosher, right?)

Canadian maple syrup is the best, and it is kosher.

IIRC, the Food Halls at Eaton Centre had a poutine stand, but it is about 7 or 8 years since I have been.

Gluten free? You sure know how to partay! Not very easy.

Here is where Poutine can be found in Toronto, as if anyone would go looking for it! Lick's has vegetarian..

Toronto has a number of kosher restaurants, far more than we have in the part of NY where we live.

Putting something in mac & cheese? Sacriledge! ;) My kids still love it...and so do my grandkids.

I look longingly at the maple syrup... I am a diabetic. There is sugar free available, but I wouldn't touch it with a barge poll.

He knows which way the wind is blowing, and he knows why people like him, but when he's caught doing something reprehensible, his answer is bigoted. When push comes to shove, his own bigotry is more important to him than the concerns of a good portion of the 350 million people he'll be representing - and for that matter, when you get down to brass tacks, he's as big a narcissist as any Clinton.

Amen, how does an elected official look at those poll numbers and think a fuel tax increase is a good idea?

As long as you drive it's not high enough.

By my calculations, based on my salary driving my 15mpg truck, and the difference in commute time between driving and taking the bus. The break even point for me is $60 a gallon. That's right, as long as gas is under $60 a gallon, it is cheaper for me to drive. If I drive my diesel van with the higher mileage and lower maintenance the break even is around $100 a gallon.

That's even before we calculated the convince of running errands to and from work or on lunch, or being able to pick up kids should the need arise.

Thin, but intriguing.

A TIME article today about Obama's speech has the following sentence (it's on Page 2, and the highlighting is mine):

"After he delivered his speech, Obama found his wife Michelle backstage. She was weeping."

Why was she weeping? The article doesn't say.

Was she overcome by his eloquence? I doubt it. She's heard it too often.

Was she weeping because her husband, forced by political expediency, had just thrown her hero (Rev. Wright) under the bus? I have a hunch that's it. Michelle strikes me as a likely candidate for the real racist in the family.

I wonder how she feels about America today.

549 Spiny Norman  Thu, Mar 20, 2008 2:09:46pm

I like how Wretchard the Cat thinks:

The rule of thumb in a fistfight is when you land a blow which makes your opponent yell, hit him there again. And the louder he yells the more you hit him in that particular area. Osama Bin Laden has just said "ouch".

Doubtless there will be those who will argue that Bin Laden's warnings are a reason to suppress publication of the Cartoons, either to demonstrate our moral superiority or to manifest our sensitivity; every precept of political correctness argues to cease and desist. That would be a big mistake.

What makes the Mohammed Cartoon attack on radical Islam so potent that Bin Laden himself must oppose it, is two things. First, anyone can make fun of radical Islam. Second, the Cartoons are aimed at the weakest point of the Jihad: it's sources of authority. It is paradoxically true of all organized nihilisms that they rely upon their unquestioned authority to negate. For example, whereas Bolshevism could regard humans as expendable, dogma was sacrosanct. The real message of organized nihilism is that "everything is permitted" except to make fun of nihilism itself. Every act is lawful in radical Islam: to bomb markets, kill children, lie, cheat and steal. Everything: except to publish the Mohammed Cartoons.

I argued that the Islamic reaction to Geert Wilders converted every paintbrush, chisel and computer into a bomb. Islam has to suppress every affront to Mohammed lest Mohammed be shown to be impotent against affront. As in the pulp tales of travelers transgressing upon lost cities, death must follow the blasphemy of the local idol or the local idol, not the traveler, loses face. What Geert Wilders has done is draw a line in the intellectual sand which he invites everyone to cross. And Osama Bin Laden must on no account allow anyone else to cross for fear of what will follow: inflatable Mohammeds, Numa-numa Mohammeds, or Allah forbid, Gay Mohammeds.

Numa-Numa Mohammed. I'd pay to see that.

I have a slightly more humorous take on the matter. I refer to our dojang as "The Masochists' Club", and our motto is, "We pay for our torture!"

And we pay it enthusiastically, neh!

Matter of fact, I am about ready to take leave of my fellow Lizards, as my class begins at 7:00 -- what with traffic, and the absolute necessity of stretching before class, I must give myself about an hour of prep time.

There was a rally for Israel last summer near my office. I stopped by on way back from lunch.
It was a respectful group with good speakers.
However just outside of the police line were sign carrying members of the RoP. Their signs and screams were vile.I was very struck by the difference between the two groups.

Hi folks, just to leap in there is some evidence the ability to sing on key and to pick out notes is genetic but you must be exposed during the critical formative years (under age 5) in order to use the genes is you have them.

Give it up! My husband and I are both monotones...I was always asked to mouth the words in school, at sleep away camp, and at home, when anyone was home with me, etc.

IIRC, my parents zt"l never sang out loud. It never occurred to me to ask why..they must also have been monotones. My 2 little granddaughters , and a daughter in law have perfect pitch, though.

And my oldest son was in the choir at our Synagogue.

Here is a passage from a book I am reading.
I won't link it because I'm truly not sure about the author or how LGF will feel about it.
We need to be reminded that Hitler's ovens and gas chambers did not appear all at once, out of the blue. Hitler's extermination policy began with bad-mouthing Jews, blaming them for things that were not their fault; just as today whites are falsely blamed for black squalor. After that German Jews were taxed more heavily than others, just as today whites are taxed disproportionately. Hitler then instituted anti-Jewish quotas, just as today there are anti-white (and de facto anti-Jewish) quotas. All my life I have listened to Jews and others wonder aloud about how the Germans could have allowed Hitler to do what he did, and today we Americans find ourselves traveling the very same road that Hitler used to goosestep his nation to the holocaust. (In America, oddly, Jews have always been at the head of the parade.) I believe we Americans are more to blame for what is happening here today than the German people were for what happened to them in the '30's and 40's, because we have them as a recent example of how not to behave.

And let us remember that if we continue along this road, whites will be a minority in America, and an elderly minority at that, in 50 short years.

smart,
financial genius,
reveres the military,
supports Israel,
pro-life,
pro-business,
wise regarding small, limited, government
immune to bad press

re: #679 Widow'smight

There's only auditions to get in the choir. When they ask the rest of us howlers to help out, they get what they get.

I'd imagine God thinks it's a beautiful thing to hear praise from his children. Besides, if he could make the heavens and earth, I'm sure he has a good set of ear plugs.

My son was asked to join by the Cantor's son...and it was before his Bar Mitzvah. When he was Bar Mitzvah, at age 13? His voice was starting to crack, but he did beautifully. It was very lucky that he had his back to the congregation as he did his portion of the Torah, as my youngest, who was 5 at the time, yelled out as the Bar Mitzvah boy was doing it, and it has a rhythm to it...'I'm hungry! When do we eat?' I could see my son's shoulders shaking under his Tallit (prayer shawl), but he did not lose control. The youngest is almost 36, but he remembers the oldest threatening to do the same to him, at his Bar Mitzvah! When he was finished, he went over to big brother and reminded him..and thanked him for not doing it.

Our choir sings a cappella, as no musical instruments are used.

G-d must have extra sets of earplugs...think of the myriad of languages, and multitude of monotones!

I only sing when I am home alone, as it may very well scare burglars away! I can play the piano, etc., read music, but sing? Fuhgetaboutit!

You're still several up on me! Despite my parents' efforts, and stints in the church choir and high school orchestra, I'm about as un-musical as they come.
(I think I got into the two through pity, actually.) I learned to read enough music to fake it, but have forgotten even that now, of course.

I can enjoy music, but when it comes to creating any, well ... your last word is perfect! (I like bagpipes, too, except for "Amazing Grace" ... )

Which reminds me of Bill Cosby. Now there is an African American who has gotten to the top of the heap by his own steam, thank you very much, without whining about lack of opportunity, without any special exceptions or special treatment. Yet when he dared to tell a university graduating class a couple of years ago to stop whining and get their act together the entire black community turned on him like a bunch of snakes.

re: #699 Carolyn

Here is a passage from a book I am reading.
I won't link it because I'm truly not sure about the author or how LGF will feel about it.
We need to be reminded that Hitler's ovens and gas chambers did not appear all at once, out of the blue. Hitler's extermination policy began with bad-mouthing Jews, blaming them for things that were not their fault; just as today whites are falsely blamed for black squalor. After that German Jews were taxed more heavily than others, just as today whites are taxed disproportionately. Hitler then instituted anti-Jewish quotas, just as today there are anti-white (and de facto anti-Jewish) quotas. All my life I have listened to Jews and others wonder aloud about how the Germans could have allowed Hitler to do what he did, and today we Americans find ourselves traveling the very same road that Hitler used to goosestep his nation to the holocaust. (In America, oddly, Jews have always been at the head of the parade.) I believe we Americans are more to blame for what is happening here today than the German people were for what happened to them in the '30's and 40's, because we have them as a recent example of how not to behave.

And let us remember that if we continue along this road, whites will be a minority in America, and an elderly minority at that, in 50 short years.

What's the book?

If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know - there's a reaction in her that's been bred into our experiences that don't go away and sometimes come out in the wrong way and that's just the nature of race in our society.

"Bred" into our experiences? Is he implying some genetic component?

Obama Helpfully Clarifies That His Grandmother Is a "Typical White Person"

610 WIP host Angelo Cataldi asked Obama about his Tuesday morning speech on race at the National Constitution Center in which he referenced his own white grandmother and her prejudice. Obama told Cataldi that "The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity, but that she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know (pause) there's a reaction in her that doesn't go away and it comes out in the wrong way."

re: #650 eschew_obfuscation

I'm just curious.....when you attempt to sing, do you have difficulty hearing the notes you should sing in your head before you try.....or do you have trouble controlling your voice to produce the desired notes?

I know you addressed this question to Nana but I'd like to chime in.

I have a horrible singing voice. My husband once said I was tone deaf and I said, "I wish!" I know how the song is supposed to sound but I cannot make my voice reproduce it. I can hear how terrible I sound and it makes me sad every time. (I have this delusion that one day I will open my voice to sing and it will sound pretty.)

I read an article a while back that said people who sing well hear differently from (or better than?) the rest of us non-singers.

My parents couldn't afford to send me for any kind of lessons so I never learned how to play an instrument. I wonder if I would also fail miserably at that? (I suspect I would.)

Of course, that was utter bullshit. Barrack Obama, standing on a corner in a $2,000 suit, carrying a briefcase, is not going to have trouble getting a cab in Manhattan.

Wall Street Journal's James Taranto, today, pointed out what others have noticed - that despite Obama's antipathy for wearing the American flag, he had at least 8-9 flags flanking his behind as he did his Ayatollah Wright shuffle.

Taranto quoted Obama's statement on his original flag/lapel decision:

"I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest," he said in the interview. "Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism."

That's funny. I thought this country was already great. His statement is a testament to his patriotism: He's lacking patriotism to the point of empty.

Breaking - major earthquake in China

Big one indeed... it's a 7.2
Info from the USGS

I hope their building codes have improved since their last big one. With huge numbers of people clustered in their cities, there is the potential for huge casualties.

It appears that it's in a pretty rural area though. The USGS site doesn't seem to indicate that it's near large cities...
140 miles from Hotan, China
235 miles from Leh, Kashmir

Yes I believe It was a brand new regiment and that was its baptism.

And as I recall, the forgerre (serious spelling deficiency) is the only deviation permitted in the dress uniform.

Obama Helpfully Clarifies That His Grandmother Is a "Typical White Person"

/wow, now he's picked up the big boy shovel

I wish he would comment on his 'typical' Black grandmother. Oh wait. He can't. He probably never met her. After all, his (typical?) Black father dumped him when he was 2 years old. And his 'typical' White mother and "typical' Indonesian step-father both dumped him when he was 10 years old in favor of their newer family. And his 'typical' pastor preaches pure hate .. just like what he imagines other people's "typical" uncles speak like .

What Obama finds 'typical' is sure as Hell not typical in my world.

What's the book?

I'll answer that indirectly; some assembly required:

The snippet I used was at end of the excerpt in #699.

However it's spelled, it's the cord loop worn over the shoulder and beneath the arm. It was awarded to the 7th and (and was it the 5th?) for their bravery in France. I was once told that the Corps permits those on active service in those two regiments to wear it.

re: #880 Nevergiveup

I am 70, grew up during WWII, and grew up in a Boston that had areas restricted to Jews, universities even in 1955, when I graduated high school, had unwritten Jewish quotas, name it, but I have never been as concerned for the future as I am now...for my kids and my grandkids...in laws, etc.

There was an attack on a Rabbi in Brooklyn, near where Buzzsaw lives...

The presence of the cult of islam has exacerbated it, I think, as has hatred of Israel, which is being used as the whipping boy for Jew hate... world-wide.

Biology is destiny in the racist's eyes too, whether the racist be black or white. Obama is saying that certain revulsions are "bred" into the races--which means that he himself believes his fluffy healing rhetoric to be nonsense.


Well said. He can't have it both ways. I'd like to think that a candidate for the highest office would have a clue to what he was talking about, but sadly, that is not so.

That is it. Who wants to be a racist?
The conversation always seems to be in terms of the"Victims" browbeating the "Guilty".
America is not a mean country. 60,000 young men died to end slavery.

The Price in Blood! Casualties in the Civil War

At least 618,000 Americans died in the Civil War, and some experts say the toll reached 700,000. The number that is most often quoted is 620,000. At any rate, these casualties exceed the nation's loss in all its other wars, from the Revolution through Vietnam.

The Union armies had from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 men. Their losses, by the best estimates:
Battle deaths: 110,070
Disease, etc.: 250,152
Total 360,222

The Confederate strength, known less accurately because of missing records, was from 750,000 to 1,250,000. Its estimated losses:
Battle deaths: 94,000
Disease, etc.: 164,000
Total 258,000

When I was with the 7th in the late 70's we were not authorized to wear any special devices and thinking about it I seem to remember that the unit was deployed to Cuba during WWI maybe thats where th campaign ribbon comes from.

Joan Osborne once said, "Hey, how can you not love Dolly Parton? She's a great performer disguised as a cartoon sex bomb."

There's a story that they tell about Willie Nelson. Back in the day, when Dolly was first making her debut on the Porter Waggoner show, several of the boys were watching from backstage while Dolly performed. They went around the group with each man telling what he'd like a chance to do with Dolly. They got to Willie who said, "I wonder if that little girl has any rolling papers."

Infuriatingly, the nude group didn't show up. Well, actually, about three of them showed up at the appointed time, but they never got nude (or at least that I saw). It was just too cold and foggy. They wandered into the crowd, still clothed.

As a result, no scrota.

By Allah's scrotum, no scrotum?

This God Awful Global Tax (GAG Tax)

AIM Says Media Cover-Up Obama’s Socialist-Oriented Global Tax Bill

see link

From the MSM coverage, I got an impression that Obama hit the US Senate floor running ...for President, and did little else of any significance.
/reposted from last Sunday:

George Soros and the Alchemy of 'Regime Change' Excerpts:

Obama, too, sees global poverty as the root cause of all evil in the world, including crime, war and terrorism. His single piece of signature legislation in the Senate is a bill that would authorize an additional $845 billion from American tax payers to eradicate global poverty, and legislate a demand on future presidents to bring America in line with UN mandates on percentage of national GDP given to fight global poverty.

These plans are in perfect sync with Soros' own support for the Tobin Tax, a global tax on currency transactions. This taxation would be forced on sovereign nations by an international body, coercing capitalist economies into sharing their wealth with poor nations for the eradication of poverty and the myriad problems associated with it.

re: #699 Carolyn

Here is a passage from a book I am reading.
I won't link it because I'm truly not sure about the author or how LGF will feel about it.
[We need to be reminded that Hitler's ovens and gas chambers did not appear all at once, out of the blue. Hitler's extermination policy began with bad-mouthing Jews, blaming them for things that were not their fault;] excerpt

And let us remember that if we continue along this road, whites will be a minority in America, and an elderly minority at that, in 50 short years.

And think how lovely it will be to hear about Chickens Come Home to Roost and Karma's a Bitch Ain't It. Further, enjoy the triumph of the ACLU in extinguishing the influence on society of all those dam annoying knuckle-dragging Catholics, Fundies and Jews who want to put noble humanitarians like Doktor Kavorkian in the pokey for assisting the useless eaters into the grave. Oh what a glorious socialist ecotopia the progressive tribalists are fashioning for us, a fantasy we will all endure...Enjoy. I meant, Enjoy of course.

re: #848 Josephine

I never realized that other people couldn't sing for a long time...

Try something, actually two things next time you feel like singing.

First sounds weird, try to sing out through the front of your face, not through your mouth.

Second listen to yourself through your nose. (maybe that sounds weirder, yet?)

I'm not being silly, or weird.
To sing well and hear yourself well you need to resonate.
My voice coach years ago called it singing through your mask.

The second point is to learn to feel the vibrations in the musical tones.

I can tell exactly how on pitch I am with the organ/piano/band or those around me by the vibrations in my music that I hold in my hand.
Or by how my skull is resonating, particularly the bridge over my nose.

I have perfect pitch so it kills me when the instruments aren't tuned...

Anyhow, try it and let me know what you think sometime...

re: #848 Josephine

I know you addressed this question to Nana but I'd like to chime in.

Are we related? The only differences are that my husband is as bad as I am, and that I took piano lessons as a child. I had no problems with that.

My 7 year old granddaughter has perfect pitch, just like my daughter in law and her mother...she actually, like DIL, played the piano by ear for a few years..but took lessons for about 8 months, and quit.

She really says 'Nana, please don't sing!' a number of times. One time I did, so help me by accident, but she said not a word. I asked why she didn't stop me...she said that she wanted to learn the words, had them down to an art form, and said I didn't have to sing again, thank you very much! BTW, she sang the song perfectly on her own! For the holidays, it was her idea to take some of her friends to sing and give little gifts to the people who live across the road in a retirement home...she
