Thursday Early Morning Open

Thu, May 15, 2008 at 2:59:08 am PDT

Every decision is liberating, even if it leads to disaster. Otherwise, why do so many people walk upright and with open eyes into their misfortune?

I would not give a gas grill houseroom. I use a great huge wood/charcoal model. The bacon might fall through the grids, but I have a 20 inch cast iron fry pan that I cook on the grill in (too big for the stove.) Nothing better in this world than peanut butter, jelly and bacon sandwiches hot off the fire early on a warm morning.

I find it easier to give certain things up entirely than to diet. No candy. Definitely no more popcorn for quite some while. No chips. But give up bacon? Not a speck of it. I wouldn't eat it every day no matter how much I love it, but I will eat it once a week on GPs, just because the muslims hate it. I am free!

Talk about outrageous!

Obama welcomes Edwards endorsement, even if tardy

During which he said -

"We are here tonight because the Democratic voters have made their choice, and so have I," Edwards said to thunderous applause. He said Obama "stands with me" in a fight to cut poverty in half within 10 years, a claim Obama confirmed moments later.

What about the rest of them? The ones who haven't voted yet? The ones in Florida and Michigan who have their votes entirely discarded?

Talk about smoke-filled back rooms! I have never seen anything so blatant. Do the Democrats really think that most of us see their machinations as "fair" and "democratic"? What supercilious nicompoops!

Nope, not it if you lay it across the grill properly. If your charcoals are going out, just toss some bacon on the grill and the fat dripping on the coals keeps the fire going.

I think I missed them both this morning.

Gone from vegan to vegetarian? Well that's making progress. The granddaughter has decided that she will be "vegetarian" - though she is not allowed to give up milk, cheese, eggs or fish. I'm starting to wonder if I am going to sprout gills before she outgrows it. And finding that I have less guilt by the day at cooking meat just for myself, something that is entirely against my instinct.

Even if you could justify such horror on the grounds of promoting a healthy sex drive in your child--and I don't remotely pretend to--you are still opening the door to very unhealthy sexual interaction as the child grows older.

be ever seeing, but never perceiving.'

Make the heart of this people calloused;
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed." (NIV)

Obama and infanticide. There are pro-choice (abortion) Americans, pro-partial birth (kill the baby as it’s being born) Americans, and pro Infanticide (kill the baby after it’s born) Americans.

I usually choose to send a meal that I am dissatisfied with back via the manager. And I have been known to send the meal back twice. I am particularly prone to send back undercooked hamburger after a lecture about the dangers of and legal liabilities for E. coli O157. They do not do anything to my meal in the kitchen.

You know that, how?

I'm probably one of the most "liberal" people here when it comes to abortion and I certainly do not support late term abortion. Heck, I don't even support second trimester abortion in other than exceptional circumstances. While, yes, I believe that whether or not a woman has an abortion is and should properly be between her, her doctor and her G_d (whoever that G_d might be), I also believe that there is no excuse these days for suddenly deciding to abort at 15 or 24 weeks when modern pregnancy tests will turn a positive before a woman has even missed a period.

Its heartening to see the formation/ organization of a critical argument again BHO. However, I fear that the message will not reach enough voters. Considering that many young voters may actually vote this time, and there is the Bob Barr libertarian candidacy (for which Ron Paul may join in spirit if not in person). Also, the MSM and Television networks still command the majority of Americans as far as source of information. Add to the woes an aging and uninspiring candidate who is expected to lead an uninspired ,rudderless political party, and you see my worry.

Turning Voters Into Morons

Yet when it comes to politics they are in the dark. They are very angry but still in the dark.

We can all feel superior to these poor souls, if we are bereft of charity, but we might also feel a twinge of compassion for them. After all, they are not totally to blame for their ignorance. Most have been misled by their political messiahs, or should I say by their seducers?

I agree with you Widow. Many (probably most) medical people don't approve of partial birth abortion either. The thing is though, once a child has been delivered alive, the Mother's wish that it not be is of no consequence. At that point standard medical ethics come into play - or they should. In most states putting the child aside to die cannot be done without a court order and it is murder to do otherwise, just as it would be murder for the mother herself to take the child home and then kill it in this way. Goes back to the days when this was standard practice when children were born with Down's syndrome or some other obvious physical defect and the fight to stop that. (That continued into the early 60's.)

Most states do not require any such thing as a Born Alive Infant Protection Act. And in most states medical personnel that participated in such a thing would be prosecuted for murder.

Nuff serious stuff.

I have to tell you, I don't think that I have ever seen or heard of anyone ever coming so close to POTUS who has so few valid qualifications. There is even some serious doubt that he is even legally eligible to be POTUS. Reports have it that his mother didn't get on a plane home from Kenya, where she was visiting Senior's family, in time and they would not let her fly until after he was born, at which time she hotfooted it for Hawai'i. If true, he might not even be a legal citizen of the US, because he would have been born at a time where you had to choose your citizenship at 18 if born under these circumstances.

Note: One of the reasons that I give a fair amount of credence to this report and think it should be thoroughly investigated is that it was Obama who went after McCain as "ineligible." The ins and outs of born v. naturalized v. dual citizenship are pretty complex and even most attorneys are not familiar with them, especially not the rules in effect 40 or 50 or 70 years ago.

BTW, he got it wrong about McCain. John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone at a time when Panama was a legal territory and protectorate of the United States of America, making him just as much a citizen by birth as if he had been born in Chicago.

More bullshit on globular worming

Scientists have been able to say with virtual certainty for the first time that the climate change observed over the past four decades is not the result of natural phenomena but is man made.

The research compounds the conclusion of the biggest scientific report on global warming to date, the fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) last year, which asserted a strong likelihood that human action was changing the climate.

The new study raises the likelihood of "unnatural" causes of global warming to near certainty.

Its heartening to see the formation/ organization of a critical argument again BHO. However, I fear that the message will not reach enough voters. Considering that many young voters may actually vote this time, and there is the Bob Barr libertarian candidacy (for which Ron Paul may join in spirit if not in person). Also, the MSM and Television networks still command the majority of Americans as far as source of information. Add to the woes an aging and uninspiring candidate who is expected to lead an uninspired ,rudderless political party, and you see my worry.
But, I still am heartened by vigilance such as yours.

Oh, and don't forget the one strong asset of BHO. He is an orator!

Most states do not require any such thing as a Born Alive Infant Protection Act. And in most states medical personnel that participated in such a thing would be prosecuted for murder. Not to mention, what do you do six months down the road when "mommy dearest" changes her mind and decides to sue you for malpractice? After all, you should have known she was out of her mind, etc.

And in a serious way, there are certainly Jews who are often called out harshly(with good reason) here like Finklestein, Chomsky, the elected officials in Israel,NK, and I have read people say not so nice things about Reform, Conservative and black hat Jews.

re: #156 galloping granny

Maybe Illinois is just weird.

It seems the need for a Born Alive Infant Protection Act was because of legal ambiguities that arose from allowing partial birth abortions. Illinois was trying to pass an act similar to the Federal Law H.R. 2175, I’ve no idea why. Nevertheless this bit of acrobatic disingenuousness by Obama is Clintonesque.

My friend stood in Obama’s path and said, “Senator, we are going to pass Born Alive here in Illinois this year.”
Obama smiled smoothly and agreed, “I think you will,” adding, “I would have voted for the Born Alive Infant Protection Act in Illinois had it been worded the same as the federal bill. I think that’s the position the Democrats should take.”
There’s just one thing he forgot to mention: Obama had stopped his committee from adding the federal wording.

Having been on line at the time this was happening, here is what I saw at the time, and I can only speak for myself.

At the time Babba's comment was deleted, at least from what I could see, it appeared that the original offending comment was still up. My guess now is the monitor was working backwards to the offending original comment. Anyway, my perception at that time that Babba's comment had been deleted but the offending comment left up made things seem rather strange. From my perspective alone, I think it was a matter of timing.

That lead to my only comment on the whole thing of "Unreal", made at a time when it appeared to me that the original offending comment was being allowed to stand.

If my comment of "Unreal" offended you Charles, I apologize. That was the only post I made on the entire issue.

I've been very busy with other things for the last few weeks and missed a lot of the recent "flame wars" over evolution vs. ID and how to attract more progressives to the anti-Jihad movement while at the same time fundamentalists are around. But I went back and read them and can see where some folks on one side or the other got upset with the other, rightly or wrongly.

Just my own perception again, just speaking for myself, but I guess these recent discussions may have contributed to some raw nerves by some, leading to later ripple effects.

re: #247 3 wood

Having been on line at the time this was happening, here is what I saw at the time, and I can only speak for myself.

At the time Babba's comment was deleted, at least from what I could see, it appeared that the original offending comment was still up. My guess now is the monitor was working backwards to the offending original comment. Anyway, my perception at that time that Babba's comment had been deleted but the offending comment left up made things seem rather strange. From my perspective alone, I think it was a matter of timing.

That lead to my only comment on the whole thing of "Unreal", made at a time when it appeared to me that the original offending comment was being allowed to stand.

If my comment of "Unreal" offended you Charles, I apologize. That was the only post I made on the entire issue.

I've been very busy with other things for the last few weeks and missed a lot of the recent "flame wars" over evolution vs. ID and how to attract more progressives to the anti-Jihad movement while at the same time fundamentalists are around. But I went back and read them and can see where some folks on one side or the other got upset with the other, rightly or wrongly.

Just my own perception again, just speaking for myself, but I guess these recent discussions may have contributed to some raw nerves by some, leading to later ripple effects.

Let's move forward.

I WAS A BOY SCOUT at ft benning, ga during the early 60's i have fond memories of this time. when the aclu stopped military support for the BSA i got so pissed being in the boy scouts at that time was one of my fav. memories. our scout master was a green baret so you can guess what our camping was like SURE WAS FUN

re: #40 galloping granny

Interesting. Now, can our service people have real bacon in the mideast? Or is that one of those dhimmi things we have agreed to, like the black bags they used to make our women in Saudi wear.? (and the fact they still cannot drive!)

Granny, I think we need to split those women into two groups. When we were there en masse, 1990-91, the Saudis' only restriction was that the women had to wear their BDU shirts rather than t-shirts. (I'll get into it next paragraph, why this was not such a bad idea.) They drove. No burkas. On the other hand, before and after, any women at the training mission (of which I think there were few if any) were such a minority that they were better off blending in. From the Saudi point of view, they went as far as they possibly could without risking plunging themselves into civil war.

Not a bad idea...in the desert, it's actually unwise to strip down to t-shirts for two reasons. One is that the sun will roast your arms. The other is that you want your body to hang onto the sweat until it has picked up as much body heat as possible before evaporating and shirts, with sleeves down, aids this.

Those are objectively practical reasons. A more subjective reason is that the locals, not so much the Saudis themselves (who have practical access to what are effectively female slaves), but the Third Country Nationals (TCNs) are so unused to the sight of bare female skin that they tend to...overreact, and take it as an invitation. Add in typical American female behavior, by which I mean no more than a friendly smile toward a stranger, and from their very constrained cultural upbringing, they take it as an absolute invitation. Complain, wail, whine..."that's so unfair and barbaric"...makes no difference. That is how they are.

I recall going to the Royal Saudi Landforces building (the "Jetsons' building" which, if you had ever seen it, you would understand) to discuss with some Saudi officers, "When, as will inevitably happen, one of our TCNs rapes one of your military women, do you want the execution in your compound or is it okay if we chop the bastard in front of the mosque on Friday, as usual?"

Bacon...it, and ham, are in the T-rations. So, I think, are they in B Rats, though I don't know how much we use B's these days. And there are pork products in C Rats (MREs), as well. The locals don't like it, but they put up with it. Even that Training Mission I mentioned get's pork in, in limited quantities, for sale at their very tiny commissary. If someone over there is bacon deprived, it's probably a local logistic issue.

As for the indignity of unequal treatment for female soldiers...they're soldiers. They, like the men, are there to win. If wearing their ACUs complete helps us win, that's what they should do. They can wear bikinis in downtown (insert Moslem city here), _after_ we win. Until then, all personal considerations are basically irrelevant.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. The devastation from the Chinese quake is staggering, and one can only begin to wonder about the ultimate death toll, though the government admits the toll is likely to be greater than 50,000. There are also questions about whether newer construction was built to the seismic codes and whether shortcuts were taken that put lives in jeopardy.

The dam that was damaged yesterday, above the devastated city of Dujiangyan, was only two years old, and the authorities had to rush to lower the reservoir behind it when 4 inch cracks appeared along its rim. Had that dam failed, the death toll could have climbed exponentially as hundreds of thousands lived beneath the dam.

Israel 'ready' for Gaza assault after rocket attack

Israel has warned that its forces are prepared to launch a major military assault on Gaza, after a rocket attack wounded at least 14 people while US President George W Bush was in Israel.

"The Israeli army has never been this ready to launch a large-scale operation in Gaza," said Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, a member of Israel's security cabinet.

"It may be that we have no choice but to destroy all the nests of terror. Apparently we'll have no choice."

Hamas, the Islamist group that runs the impoverished territory, is preparing defensive positions in anticipation of a possible military incursion, Israeli's military intelligence chief, Major General Amos Yadlin, told the Haaretz newspaper.

Mr Bush, on a five-day trip in the Middle East, told Israel it could rely on continued US backing.

3wood, that's exactly what I thought had happened-just a series of strange things with the deletions and I am totally sick about yesterday on LGF, I literally took a break from everything and had to take a walk and get some fresh air. I believe there were no bad intentions. I raised the spectre of a monitor being over jealous myself-because it just seemed weird. The timing was awful, and then with the troll on the thread, dropping those awful comments-things were just shooting along. It seemed like one thing, but obviously it was another. Then there was the banning of the troll, and questions about the deletions and accusations of lying, and hurt feelings and I can't help feeling so angry that a stinking troll was the spark that created such an awful train wreck of a thread. I didn't post anything the whole day because I was really shaken-and as neurotic as that sounds it's true.

Charles-I'm so sorry about yesterday.

I am angry at myself for taking all of this so personally, as I am sure you and many other lizards did yesterday as well. Emotions were very raw, and it was just awful. But I care a great deal about so many of you, and have so much respect for the individuals and group vibe here at LGF-this place you created means a lot to me, and I feel truly blessed by the things I have learned here and the people I have met-either in person or in real life. I have on occasion posted things too quickly, because my fingers sometimes move faster than my brain-sometimes things come from the gut instead of from the rational portion of the mind. That being said, I hope that we can all move forward.

BTW, you did hear correctly about Bush's speech to the Kinesset as I posted in the spin-off links before I even said hello this morning.
While Barry no doubt feels confident about winning the nomination he definitely needs to brush up - hell, go to school - on the whole US/Israel/Iran situation - maybe start with the taking over of United States' territory (our Embassy in Teheran) by Iran, the holding of our hostages for 444 days of brutal condiditons and treatment, the bombing of the Marine Corps barracks in 1983 and such before he starts mouthing off about the WoT - the WoT didn't start at 9/11; OUR side started it then, but Iran has been at war with us for nearly 30 years now.

Good morning lizards & lizardesses,

Interesting editorial at Now Lebanon,

The Shia community is obeying a leadership that cannot be said, in any way, to have ever understood the essence of the Lebanese system. Hezbollah and its secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, will often insist that sectarian compromise requires handing the party, and Shia in general, veto power over political decision-making. But that’s not what the consociational system is about; the point of the sectarian arrangement is not to build a system based on mechanisms of obstruction. It is to force the different communities to reach compromises in order to avert mechanisms of obstruction. Hezbollah has repeatedly tried to ignore this by imposing its will in the street or through its guns. The result has been a gathering, strengthening alignment of adversaries that will fight hard before allowing Hezbollah or the Shia to gain hegemonic power.

But wasn’t this reaction always obvious? Apparently not to Nasrallah and his Iranian sponsors, who never had any liking for the baroque but necessary give and take of the Lebanese order – let alone respect for the retribution that has always crippled those ignoring its fundamental rules. Through its contempt for Lebanon, Hezbollah has left itself with two stark choices: either to integrate fully into the state or to control the state. But since it will or can do neither, we are in for a long and harsh standoff between Hezbollah and the rest of Lebanese society.

re: #247 3 wood

The ID/evolution thing may have stressed some. For me it was nothing; knew it was there all along. Saw what I expected to see.

The real stress and strain I believe comes from the fact we have no candidate; nor do we have leadership on the horizon any time soon. Many lizards know that all the hard work (not so much by us lizards) by the US military will be thrown away and the USA plunged into a civil disturbing socialism onslaught over the next decade over which looms the potential for the American experiment to be disrupted causing irreparable damage across the globe. The US military is going to be attacked from within the system and I don't know if they have the right mindset or support to counter it. We have enemies within and no one seeming capable of countering them.

Obama and infanticide. There are pro-choice (abortion) Americans, pro-partial birth (kill the baby as it’s being born) Americans, and pro Infanticide (kill the baby after it’s born) Americans.

I fully expect the Democrats, with their huge majorities in January, to get up the nerve to try to pass a national abortion law which will define a right to a tacpayer funded abortion to any female over the age of 9 (without parental consent for those under 18). They may include the Obama provisions for infanticide in the case of "imperfect" babies if the mother consents. By the time their law gets contested in the Supreme Court they may have named their new judges.

Of course Very Late Term Abortion, aka the death penalty, will be forbidden even though this is the only case where you know what is being eliminated.

The AP's Jennifer Loven can't help herself heaping scorn on Bush and Israel for not mentioning the Palestinians enough in his speech before the Knesset.

Where's the outrage over the incessant rocket attacks? Where's the daily count of rockets slamming into Israel, along with the running tally of Israelis injured or killed by those kassams, mortars, and now Iranian grad missiles?

You want scorn? I'll give you scorn. When you openly shill for terrorists, you get nothing but. The Palestinians have repeatedly passed up chances for peace, and have engaged in war thereafter. Today is no different. It's time that Israel and the US respond in kind, instead of offering up still more concessions that are seen as nothing but weakness.

Er, no. Naked Cheffette, maybe. Naked chefezinha, definitely.

If "ette" implies a female, why do so many people on here think I'm a man?

Do I type in a deep voice?

If he loses, we'll have race riots.

Actually, I don't think so. Maybe a spot of trouble here and there, but nothing big. Just my gut feeling.

the syrup. Just asking would it be crude for a protestor to dress as a
waffle & carry a sign that says, 'Hey Barry, Eat Me"?

Maybe, but that would be high-larious!

True, not race riots. More like massive moonbat demonstrations regardless of color.

I hope you're right. But the whole way the MSM is saying not voting for Obama is racist is helping set the stage.

No, they believe in combining their "church" with the state. The Soviet Union may have claimed to be atheist, but they combined the church and state into one whereby the church was the state. That's the type of religion Obama is a messiah for.
