ah, the beauty of an unsullied thread....

Good Morning lurkers and all. Just watching the temperature drop here north of the border. Now a cool 46 degrees and strong winds. Got teased with summer yesterday.

That's how we create wealth, Mark...

Morning All!

Charles, what you doing up at four in the morning! What am i doing up as well....

Obama's Memorial Day comments about some 'Fallen Heros" prove that his powers include seeing Dead People.
It was disrespectful to be so unprepared.
He got off of script & established that among other reasons he is too much of a twit to be the President.

Got to run for the last Tuesday of the school year--have a great day!

re: #8 goddessoftheclassroom

(Yo! Yochanan!)

Goddess, EX-actly! It seems like a clumsy, near-useless BLORCH when first sold to hobbyists (for example, a PC Personal Computer, green-screen and 4.77MHz CPU with 256KBytes of RAM and a 160K single-sided floppy disk for STORING work done in EasyCalc... or this new-fangled Lotus 123...

But we keep on creating wealth, and the jobby-do runs faster, remembers more, has more colors, saves to bigger disks that keep getting smaller (?) and reaches out like a dendrite to touch other users...

THATs Wealth Creation... and it AIN'T STOPPING anytime in the near future, Goddess!

Oh, I don't know. You guys remember the remarks about a million chimpanzees with a million typewriters? Charles has hamsters and they reproduce a lot more quickly.

Hmmm, thought the number was actually infinite. But as to your rest that might explain what happens when we get hiccups. The hamsters are busy reproducing. :)

I want my MTV!

Even in this early hour, the average LGF Lizard sounds more cogent than Obama at his best with a perfectly functioning teleprompter.

The day after Memorial Day is a fine opportunity to take a walk through the local cemetery and admire all the new flowers and flags. It is amazing to me to see graves over a hundred years old with newly planted flowers. There is alot of love on display in a cemetery the day after Memorial Day. Plus, there usually aren't many people there, so it can be a peaceful time for reflection.

There are still some gems on TV here and there but they are getting tougher to find. As for reality shows, I have a little story...

When I was in Boot Camp, the cast of "Real World" and "Road Rules" came by for one of their cross country challenges at Pendleton while my Platoon was there. I saw the episode later and it was a good thing they kept us separated from them; that amount of whining could have triggered some violent reactions from us.

Something about our enlightened friends in the EU:

Women breach all-male Greek site

Four Moldovan women accidentally breached a ban dating back to 1060 when they were dropped off on the Greek monastic peninsula of Mount Athos.

They told police they had sailed from Turkey after paying $6,300 to two Ukrainian people smugglers, but were unaware they were breaking Greek law.

Women are banned from Mount Athos, home to 20 monasteries and considered Orthodox Christianity's spiritual home.
....
Under Greek law, breaching the ban can lead to a jail sentence.

Women - even many female domestic animals - have not been allowed on the mountain since a decree banning women was issued by Byzantine Emperor Constantine Monomachos in 1060

I know (about the quality). My wife and daughter watch "America's Next Top Model". You'd think seeing sexy women (although mostly too skinny) would be fun for a guy, but there is something about that show I cannot stand.

A while back PBS had some good ones, though. 1900 House, in which some people had to live like it was 1900. A couple of them broke the rules and bought shampoo. We don't realize what we have.
Manor House, in which people lived "Upstairs, Downstairs" - some were "nobility" and some were the staff.
And some American ones, like Colonial House and Frontier House. Amazing how people didn't realize how much work they were signing up for trying to make a farm work, especially in the days before mechanization. One couple on Frontier House divorced afterwards.

McCain is offering to take Obama to Iraq with him.
I get why, you know if Barry is going to critique the effort , he should vist.
The problem is , Obama would then come back with cred, plenty of photos & he will not change his opnion.

Islamaphobia?

Australia Muslim school rejected

Authorities in an Australian town have rejected proposals to allow an Islamic school to be built there.

Councillors for Camden, a small town on the outskirts of Sydney, unanimously voted against the proposed school for 1200 pupils.

The councillors said they based their decision solely on planning grounds, citing an internal report about its environmental impact.

The proposed development had met with fierce local opposition.

Morning all. 68 degrees in Chambodia as thunderstorms are a distinct possibility. That means I need to get out and cut the backyard fairly soon.

Got to spend Memorial Day watching the Braves and Cubs win and trading ghost stories with an old friend of my mother-in-law.

Sure! I'll save a seat on the bus. Heck, they might even serve fruit cups on the way down.

Well time to go. It's been fun tonight. See you all on the next dead thread.

The day after Memorial Day is a fine opportunity to take a walk through the local cemetery and admire all the new flowers and flags.

I went out to the American Legion yesterday morning to see the wreaths that had been put there the day before. My wife had performed as part of the band that played there and she felt a bit of grief when they read the names of the local teenagers that had died overseas.

And now it's time for me to make an attempt to get some work done. Wish me luck since we're all still recovering from the long weekend.

Olmert's Secret Small-Time Personal Cash Donations and Loans From U.S. Jewish Financier

American-Jewish businessman Morris Talansky told the Jerusalem District Court on Tuesday that he gave Prime Minister Ehud Olmert $150,000 out of his own pocket
SNIP
He specifically mentioned that he met the prime minister 10 times between 2002 and 2005, while Olmert was industry, trade and labor minister, and on each occasion, gave him envelopes of cash.
SNIP
Talansky said that as well as the money he gave Olmert out of his own pocket, he also raised money for him on behalf of various organizations, saying that much of the money was raised in New York "parlor meetings," where Olmert would address American donors who would then leave contributions on their chairs.
On another occasion he said Olmert asked for a $25,000 loan for a family vacation to Italy, a request Talansky agreed to.
SNIP
Notably, Talanksy said Olmert never paid back the loans. He recounted that he once asked for some of the money back. He said Olmert told him to go and speak to his son in New York, but that a payback never materialized.
SNIP
He said that the latest monetary request by Olmert was for $70,000. Talansky said although the request shocked him he agreed to give Olmert the money but decided it would be his last payment to the prime minister.

Maybe this is not technically illegal, but the optics stink to high heaven. Olmert is at the very least guilty of sucking scum, bottom-feeding, ugliness, greed and unabashedly begging for luxuries. Who will believe that there were really no strings attached to these payments? And who will believe that this is not just the tip of the iceberg?
BLECHHHHH!

If Olmerde had actually been doing his job, and protecting the people of his country, I'd let this slide. But he's left the people of Sdrot suffering; screwed up the last Lebanon war; possibly let Hizballah take over Lebanon; and who knows what more.

If this is what it takes to get him out, then good. Unfortunately, the polls don't show someone who will do the job leading; they show Livni, also of the Kadima (appeasement) party.

That reminds me of my driving school many, many years ago.
He asked what we should do if 4 cars all arrived at a 4-way stop at the same time.
He didn't have an answer, but said "since you'll be driving in Massachusetts, just stop, and drive around it when it's over".
I guess nowadays, you should call 911 on your cell phone first.

Photovoltaic-Powered Bra

Re: one of the links I posted above on the Republicans in denial, the author makes a good point about the failure of "compassionate conservatism." It's fault was not that it was compassionate, but that it was not, insofar as it was simply another way of expanding the power of government to insert itself into every corner of our lives.

The communitarian philosophy that stood behind it, in its chosen philosophical foundations, was essentially no different from the "third way" claptrap of the Clintonistas. It rests on the assumption that society must be reorganized to serve the good of the collective, and that the good of the individual derives first and foremost from the good of the collective. As Hayek points out, there is all sorts of nastiness down that path. The state cannot know what is best for individuals, must less everyone, without reducing the individual to a mere cog in a machine. The whole idea is rooted in the Rousseauian/Hegelian distrust of the individual, the belief that the individual is a product of social forces and that "self interest" correctly understood is participation in the life of the whole.

Now the latter part has a nice, altruistic, virtuous ring to it, but on closer examination, "participation" almost invariably means "sacrifice," and both the form of and reason for the sacrifice are to be determined on the basis of the needs of "society" or "the community" (read "the state") rather than according to the beliefs and values of the individuals making the sacrifice.

All the pretty language and smiling faces of children cannot cover the essentially socialist -- and totalitarian -- underpinnings of "third way" and "communitarian" political doctrine. From the warm and fuzzies of "compassionate" anything in politics, it's only a hop-skip-and a jump to Cuba.

WOW!
Here's a postmortem on Hillary's campaign from the AP...
The era of big Clintons is soon over

4 hours ago

WASHINGTON — There's been a Clinton running for the White House or living in it for approximately forever. Bill, it could be said, was born to run. Running became Hillary's destiny, too.

One quarter of Americans have never known life without a Clinton trying for or having the presidency. Millions have gone from diapers to diplomas in the time of the Clintons.

When Hillary Rodham Clinton finally exits the 2008 Democratic presidential race, she will end a decades-long, power-couple streak of unique political energy, savvy ideas, colossal policy flops and raw ambition dressed in pants suits and briefs, not boxers.

"Every day is an adventure," Bill said cheerfully at the start of it all. And how.

By now, the Clintons have been assigned mystical qualities of perseverance. The notion that the adventure is over is almost beyond comprehension.

"I never quit," she says. "I never give up."

Even in defeat, Hillary Clinton has made history as the first woman favored for a major party presidential nomination — the first with a real shot at the presidency. ...

...Together, Bill and Hillary Clinton have pulled it out of the fire over and over, going back to 1976, when he bounced back from losing a congressional race two years earlier. He won election as Arkansas attorney general.

Two years after that, at 32, he became the nation's youngest governor.

Then, defeat in 1980 when he sought a second term. It would be his final election loss, but hardly the last dip in the Clintons' seemingly endless cycle of failure and renewal.

By the mid-1980s, when he was back in office in Little Rock, Clinton's name was floating as a Democratic presidential prospect.

He took a pass in 1988. But that year marked one benchmark in the rollout of the Clinton era.

He delivered a speech at the Democratic convention laying out a new orthodoxy that he would bring to the presidential race himself four years later, his activist wife at his side.

The Clintons' national conversation had begun.

The speech went on for so long that some people wondered if it would ever end.

In a way, it never did. Not until now.

Funny, considering that Hillary is still a US Senator for NY and will likely remain as such for the foreseeable future. And this is far from over... as Denver will reveal.

More proof that Obama just makes shit up. He now claims his uncle liberated Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Unless his uncle was in the RED ARMY, I just don't see how that happened. Auschwitz was liberated Jan 27 1945 while the American Army was still involved in the Battle of The Bulge. Now I am willing to believe that any Uncle of his was a Commie, but I want to see his Red Star battle awards before I swallow this one. Does guy think we are all idiots who can't fact check?

Working when I'm sick at this point would be a bad idea; this seems to be a very contagious 24-hour bug (leaped from my sister to my nephew to me, while I was visiting them this weekend), so if I went into the office I'd probably infect everyone else, then have to do THEIR work tomorrow...

One interesting thing: Mr. Great Orator doesn't get a single bit of applause until he's about 7:18 into the speech.

On January 27, 1945, the Soviet army entered Auschwitz and liberated more than 7,000 remaining prisoners, who were mostly ill and dying. It is estimated that at minimum 1.3 million people were deported to Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945; of these, at least 1.1 million were murdered.

Line up another cluebat.

Prior to the Vietnam War, it was called neurasthenia, shell shock, war neurosis, and combat fatigue. The term "Post-traumatic Stress Disorder" was coined after VN.

re: #245 godfrey

Here are a list of camps that the US liberated:

U.S. forces liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp near Weimar, Germany, on April 11, 1945, a few days after the Nazis began evacuating the camp. On the day of liberation, an underground prisoner resistance organization seized control of Buchenwald to prevent atrocities by the retreating camp guards. American forces liberated more than 20,000 prisoners at Buchenwald. They also liberated Dora-Mittelbau, Flossenbürg, Dachau, and Mauthausen.

Auschwitz is not one of them.

It is possible that Obama's uncle served with one of the units liberating one of those camps and misspoke about which one he did so, but it's still a lie - an unforced error.

It once again shows that he's not up to speed.

It also brings into question CBS's coverage, which ignores the gaffes without comment. They were probably historically illiterate as well, or else were blinded by the Obamarama.
