Having done just a bit more field-testing (okay, our apartment isn't really a field, but anyway), allow me to boost my enthusiasm for the "Shazam" iPhone app. Very cool technology. Picture this if you can, Howie; you hear a piece of music in a restaurant or store that you like, but can't identify. You hold your iPhone up near a speaker; about 10 seconds later, your iPhone identifies the song. In my non-scientific non-field (but yes, apartment-) testing, it gets it right about 75% percent of the time. And it's free.

Science!

Talked to my Puerto Rican SIL today. She has a lot of relatives living in Florida and says none of them like Obama...........but none of them can tell her why.

Key thing to remember there; you're supposed to stuff it in the FRONT of your jeans.

Why the urge to claim that U.S. defense and intelligence agencies did not know anything about Iran's false missile launch claims?

Far more to be gained by keeping quiet.

The exact timing of the launch, the destination and impact sites were all tracked.

Having lgf be the source of the exposure further undermines Iranian prestige. Not an intelligence agency, not even the mainstream media but a lizard tipping LGF. That has to smart and cause some discomfort in Iran,

Language can be fun. Just today I was reading book 10 of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey & Maturin series, and it occurred to me that the phrase "cross the line" is almost certainly nautical in origin, referring to crossing the equator.

I don't have that system, so I can't say how well it works. The amazing thing about that is that it's "listening" to THE SONG ITSELF, and figuring it out. There must be some very heavy-duty algorithms cooking away back at Shazam HQ to be able to do that.

Okay, I have to vent a bit about something here. Please lay off Obama and his ears. I am sure he has given us more than enough to bust his balls about, but lay off on the ears. I am sure he has had people bother him about it for most of his life and I could sympathize with it. Not standing up for him or what he trys to represent. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

I am glad LGF threw Biblically literal creationists under the guise of ID and neo-fascists under the bus. This stuff is crap. Islamofascism is the biggest threat we face today, but neither the rejection of reason and science nor the acceptance of David Duke will help the West resist this threat. In fact, the acceptance of reason and the rejection of David Duke will allow us to resist this threat. The threat of Islamism is one part its assault on reason and the other its inherent totalitarian attempt to turn the world into a monoculture of sharia.

Faith is wonderful, until you reject faith tempered by moderation and reasonable limits, which then establishes the dilemma: if you accept everything based on faith without any grounding in reality, what's to stop someone else from claiming their crazy faith is just as good or better?

Diversity is wonderful, until you favor an external group that seeks to destroy diversity. Political correctness and multiculturalism, by not distinguishing at all between different ideas and cultures, sets the stage for a takeover of the most aggressive even in democratic societies, a la one person, one vote, one time.

The trick is to remain faithful to values without being dogmatic and to accept reason and distinguish between things that are better and those that are worse.

Between the hard right (political or religious) and the hard left (just political or favoring any religion but Christianity or Judaism), the job is tough. Only moderation and the classic middle ground - or what we might now call slightly right-of-center, since so-called progressives are about as reasonable as IDers in this day and age - can protect Western culture from itself and the external forces that want to destroy it.

Good evening, everybody.

Also, why the obsession with the uncleanliness of dogs? That's a weird one. Dogs have been companions of humans for thousands of years. Some of the oldest dog breeds at Middle Eastern. The wolf was probably made a companion of humans around the campfire in Mesopotamia. Maybe it was convenient to blame the poor ever-present dog on disease epidemics. That's similar to blaming cats for evil in medieval Europe. Or maybe being attached to a dog was viewed as outdated idolatry by early Muslims. Or maybe they just hate everything that might distract men from prostrating toward Mecca, getting a forehead burn and going to war: like dogs, infidels, women, music, alcohol, etc. It's time for an "Islam for Idiots" book to explain these things in plain and simple language.

A bit OT, on the culinary side -

Any tips on clam chowder recipes? My priorities are simple prep, serves two (multiple times, I like going back for 2nds and thirds on good hearty dishes), is "hearty", won't disappoint either a Texan who's seen the ocean twice in her life or a New Englander who scoffs at the fru-fru interpretations of good solid Yankee chow.

The three best recipes I've found all involve frying up dead pig in a pan, adding onions/spices/flour to the fat, then using clam juice to cook up the clams, throwing it all together, and adding some kind of dairy.

Wondering if anybody here had some advice on this ("my mom always does X", for example), as I know we have plenty of Yankees, of both the in situ and New England Diaspora varieties. Several people here gave me restaurant advice before a trip to New Orleans last year and they were spot-on, I figured this thread is as good a place as any to ask.

Or it might for the same reason that lonely shepherds don't want to talk about their relationship with their sheep.

Hrmm there's a lack of consensus on varieties : brown vs. grizzled vs kodiak etc. some consider them one species, others multiple species. They can all interbreed. Ursus Arctos is the brown family, and interestingly enough they can also mate with Polar bears, so we no longer have to worry about global warming.

That said, it's time for me to get some sleeps.

re: #127 Purple Prose

Also, why the obsession with the uncleanliness of dogs? That's a weird one. Dogs have been companions of humans for thousands of years.

It's because dogs are f-cking dirty. They don't bathe, they eat their own crap, they crap everywhere, they drool or get food everywhere, and they shed at least as bad as cats.

They're damned handy for a society that travels in packs, lives in caves, and has to deal with roving predators of both two- and four-legged variety. For modern suburban living, though, I find the cat to be much better suited. Unfortunately cats don't guard things.

Mohammed was probably at least as germophobic and OCD about clean, non-smelly hands as I am. He was clearly a "cat person", which is the only point I agree with him on.

I don't dislike dogs, and I see why people do like them, but on the whole, objectively, they are disgusting, high-maintenance animals. I wouldn't dare to own one unless I had plenty of property for it to run on and a surefire way to keep it in a designated area of the house.

re: #143 konservo

Oh, shit. I'm very embarassed right now.

re: #138 MandyManners

I think that Mo tried to get it on with a dog and the dog took a bite out of him.

They say Hitler, an admirer of Mo according to Speer, only had one testicle. Maybe it was because Hitler also tried to get it on with some unwilling participant that took a bite out of him.

You gotta wonder how much of history's atrocities are the result of men who were traumatized over losing a testicle.

re: #133 Metal Man

My theory as to why islamists don't like dogs is because a dog will bite his master if he beats his wife or child. I know my dog would get bent when me and the kids were just wrestling.

That is a very interesting theory. The 6th-century-minded male would find a family-loyal dog to be competition, or possibly a threat.

I'm acquainted with a guy who's been over to Afghanistan multiple times, and he has a story about nearly having to shoot Afghans that he's caught playing a game that he refers to as "puppy soccer", multiple times. As in, he ran across this phenomenon not once, but several times.

Animal abusers make Baby Jesus want to pull out his 9 and bust some caps.

A lot of cultures use "dog" as an insult or speak of "dirty dogs," etc.

My GUESS is that it ended up being prominent in Islam because Big Mo himself happened to be a dog-hater. It's all about Mo!

I'm sure it will. People take their pets as personally as their religion. Unfortunately I've observed that some people, especially certain women, seem to find stupid, dirty behavior in dogs as something to adore, not be repulsed by, or to train out of existence.

I think it's the same nurturing instinct that women have towards babies, except they transfer it to dogs (or in this case, puppies). Long story, or set of stories, involving the family of people I live with, that I'd rather not tell here... Feh.

I have two cats myself but I take great pains to clean up after them, make sure the catbox area is as clean as possible at all times, keep hair off my clothes, clean up and put the cats away if guests are stopping by, et cetera.

Muslims don't like dogs because the angel "Gabriel" didn't visit Mohammed one day because there was a puppy in the room. According to Mo, that's the reason Gabe missed the appointment. He then ordered all the dogs killed, puppies too. 50 other things Muslims don't want the world to know here.

re: #154 wolfie

My GUESS is that it ended up being prominent in Islam because Big Mo himself happened to be a dog-hater. It's all about Mo!

The cossetting of pets other than birds is a Western tradition. Almost all Eastern cultures have a dislike of dogs. It's not Islamic per se, although cleanliness is part of the reason they don't like dogs.

(You can't pray after you've touched a dog, a menstruating woman, or a dead body, etc.)

One thing is to dislike, another thing is to hate. Like this St. Cloud student learnt when he had to leave school, after a Muslim student threatened to kill his service dog:

A St. Cloud State University student in a teacher-training program at Technical High School left the school in late April because he says he feared for the safety of his service dog.

The school district calls it a misunderstanding, and officials there say they hoped Tyler Hurd, a 23-year-old junior from Mahtomedi who aspires to teach special education, would continue his training in the district.

Hurd said a student threatened to kill his service dog named Emmitt. The black lab is trained to protect Hurd when he has seizures.

The threat came from a Somali student who is Muslim, according to Hurd, St. Cloud State and school district officials.

The Muslim faith, which is the dominant faith of Somali immigrants, forbids the touching of dogs.

Hurd trained at Talahi Community School and Tech. He said his experience at Talahi was good. The Somali students there warmed to the dog and eventually petted him using paper to keep their hands off his fur, Hurd said.

Things didn’t go as well at Tech, Hurd said. Students there taunted his dog, and he finally felt he had to leave after he was told a student made a threat. Hurd met with Lockhart but said he did not feel comfortable continuing.

Steffens [Kate Steffens, dean of the college of education at St. Cloud State] said it is important to respect different cultures and the rights of disabled students.

“I think this is part of the growth process when we become more diverse,” Steffens said.

Sounds to me like diversity didn't exactly work out if the epileptic kid had to leave.

I just want to collapse in hysterics at that term! Islam IS outdated idolatry! (no jab at you dear... just a barb aimed at Islam).

No offense taken, as I must agree, but when Islam came about, it was revolutionary for the Arabian peninsula bedouins. They had no real culture and no religion. They say Jews and Christians and Zoroastrians from a distance, and, lo, Mohammed said, we need some of that. So he did away with what he saw as the backwardness of the natives and invented a kick-ass ideology to unite the tribes so that he could destroy those made him feel inferior.

Islam is a great religion. It's a great religion for uniting semi-nomadic Arabs in the middle ages and turning them into a world-class army. The only wrinkle is that it doesn't go much beyond a battle cry.

Obama is probably one of those guys like me who pets a dog awkwardly, makes a little face at his hand, and then washes his hands afterwards.

...OK, I don't always do that, only if the dog is dirty. LOL.

If I ran for President I'd make sure to be photographed dog-sitting an entire pack of dogs, like those people you see out running with ten dogs on leashes. Or playing in the park with a big panting dog, or something. Americans like dogs and are suspicious of those who don't. Period.

Obama is either a cat person, or has no say in the family pet issue, because Michelle runs the house.

re: #196 MandyManners

Interesting. Thanks. McCain is a huge pet lover and is said to own a "menagerie" of varied pets.

I dug up this recent AP poll on it, via Talking Points Memo. Dog owners love John McCain.

"The American Pet Product Manufacturers Association estimates that 63 percent of American homes include a pet, including 88 million cats and 75 million dogs.

Dog owners lean toward McCain, 43 percent to 34 percent, while cat owners basically divide their loyalties with 41 percent for McCain and 38 percent for Obama."

re: #142 Pawn of the Oppressor

Mohammed was probably at least as germophobic and OCD about clean, non-smelly hands as I am. He was clearly a "cat person", which is the only point I agree with him on.

I don't dislike dogs, and I see why people do like them, but on the whole, objectively, they are disgusting, high-maintenance animals. I wouldn't dare to own one unless I had plenty of property for it to run on and a surefire way to keep it in a designated area of the house.

So Mohammed was an ancient Howard Hughes? Bubble boy Mohammed.

Anyway, legend may have it that Mohammed liked cats, but cats must obey the same in/out physics as any animal, and cats often defy the litterbox if they are displeased or for whatever reason. I suppose Mo had all the wayward cats beheaded. But why didn't he just get a goldfish? A bit simpler to contain contamination.

Couldn't train the cats for anything. But one of them actually learned how to flush the toilet. She was fascinated with water and would bat at it as it came out of the faucet. In the middle of the night once, I was awoken by the flush of the toilet, only to look up and see her racing across the bedroom floor and down the hall. Apparently she had scared herself silly flushing the comode.

This is such a depressing religion, sorry if I offend.

Muslims certainly have a problem with menstrual blood. But halal blood after slitting an animals throat is okay, as is the blood resulting from killing an infidel. If they are so hung up on blood, why don't they advocate vegetarianism? Clearly, they are hung up on some reproduction-related blood but have no problem with blood relating to death.

So the most straightforward conclusion is that Islam has a problem with anything "bloody and unclean" related to life but revels in things that are "bloody and unclean" related to death. Ergo, Islam abhors life but loves death, which is pretty much what Islamists say.

"We tell them: in as much as you love life - the Muslim loves death and martyrdom."

re: #151 Purple Prose

They say Hitler, an admirer of Mo according to Speer, only had one testicle. Maybe it was because Hitler also tried to get it on with some unwilling participant that took a bite out of him.

You gotta wonder how much of history's atrocities are the result of men who were traumatized over losing a testicle.

As I recall the story, some British intelligence genius was just trying to help Adolf a bit by putting in a good word for him (well, more or less). It became a famous WW II song:

Hitler, he only had one ball,
Goering, he had two but very small,
Himmler had something simmler,
But poor old Goebbels had no balls at all

Full words to the song are at [Link: ingeb.org...]

(Dunno why we don't fight wars like that any longer. Right now the Arab world should be ringing with songs that explain Osama's love for goats, why Wahabbi is just another word for camel-groper, and catchy tunes about cowardly jihadis' adventures with Hellfire missiles. Might hurt a few feelings here and there, but that sorta happens if one takes on the English-speaking world ;-).)

When I think about the nights when Roxy Music's Avalon played in practically every dorm room, and we did lots of things most of us should never have done at all, at all, but somehow don't regret - I remember a guy in the hall begging "someone, ravish me!" (though I didn't) - I wonder if, knowing what I know now, I might not have been kinder, or at least less self-indulgent.

re: #253 Dianna

I think I just killed the thread deader that Achmed the dead Terrorist.

Sorry.

No, I think it was already on it's last leg. No one seems to havemuch to say or there just isn't to many on right now.

re: #248 Dianna

After al-Queda started a cross border incident between Afghanistan and Pakistan then blew up India's Kabul embassy the situation has been going down hill. Earlier today Pakistan's foreign minister declared the US military to be persona non-grata .
Generally, things are in a hand basket and accelerating towards hell.

I think there is a lot of us out here that did things that should never have been done but don't regret that we did them. I think of it as a learning experience.
