Friday Night Politics Overdose Thread

Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 5:53:24 pm PDT

In the past seven days, we’ve logged 40,716 comments, with 845,108 page views.

The MySQL server reports 100% key efficiency, with 201.4M queries over the last 8 days, 84.7% of which were served by the query cache.

And we’re rapidly approaching 6 million total comments.

And all the boxes have rounded corners now.

And registration is open for a short time. I must be an unhinged lunatic.

UPDATE at 8/29/08 6:26:19 pm:

79 Kosh's Shadow  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 6:14:23pm

Obama's speech last night really inspired me

to give more money to McCain's campaign.

Obama promised the known world, and lower taxes for 95% of the working families.
Of course, they'll be spending through the nose because the companies he'll tax will pass that on to the consumer, and what with the extra taxes for health care, the economy will nosedive.

Plus, it reminded me about how much a Sith Lord Obama really is; he was angry. I'm sure he has issues with his parents; let him see a psychiatrist instead of taking them out on everyone else.

He talked about change, but it is a code for revolution.

Anyone who buys his spiel, well, I have a bridge to sell them. Or I can put them in touch with some people in Nigeria who need help getting some money out of the country.

I really don't think that many Americans are that dumb.
I think he jumped the shark, and fell in the tank, but he doesn't know it yet. Soon the shark teeth of declining polls might give him a hint. Or maybe he won't get it and wonder why he lost.

137 LemonJoose  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 6:25:35pm

One of my favorite things about Palin is that she has said that she's not ready to conclude that global climate change is human-caused. Many reputable scientists have pointed out the fact that the climate change models used by global warming advocates have not factored in the effects of cycles in sunspot activity, which have a much more dramatic impact on global temperatures than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In fact, over the last few years, global temperatures have been cooling as sunspot activity decreased, and based on cycles in solar activity, some scientists now predict that we may be entering an extended period (70-80 years) of declining global temperatures which could potentially be a "mini ice age."

Unfortunately McCain and the Republican party recently gave in to the global warming movement and adopted positions which state that increases in carbon in the atmosphere due to human activities causes atmospheric warming. I'm not sure how the campaign will handle this, since the Dems will certainly pounce on it.

Hockey moms bring cups to the rink just in case their kid gets some teeth knocked out and are more likely to drive an SUV or pick up truck and make sure to explain to their kid that in Ice Hockey, like life, there are winners and losers.

At lunch today I tuned in to PeeNN (it was still on that channel after watching the Ascension last night) and there was some idiot calling in to whatever talking head show was on. This idiot was blabbing about how "The NRA was going to completely implode" because now "common sense" was on the table and people who say "we should be allowed to own a TANK!" were going to be marginalized... Something along those lines...

Being a gun owner myself, I know by now that when I hear the words "common sense" used in the context of gun control it's almost certainly coming from some whiny leftist who really just wants to call gun owners crazy. I said some unkind words at the TV. A few minutes later they revealed that Guy On Phone was Glenn Beck.

I was surprised and disappointed. I normally like him (in the few clips I've seen of him). I know you can't agree with a person all of the time, but I was surprised to hear him talking like an East Coast Dem.

Hockey in Minnesota has been wrecked by the building of all these indoor rinks. It builds character to have to get up and go to a outdoor game when it's 10 deg below zero. Plus have to shovel the rink before playing you actually have to love the game.

True. But outdoor ice usually sucks and unless you buy the $500 skates you lose the feeling in your toes rather rapidly.

I don't know, but two of the biggest moonbats at work are or were musicians.
Note, though, Charles is a musician, so this isn't a blanket statement.
One of the moonbats at work posts on Kos, and has been asking what to tell me to convince me to vote for Obama, based on my support for Israel.
(I figured out his Kos nic and have been watching what he posts)
I've considered getting a Kos account just to tell him it is hopeless, but since no one has answered him yet, maybe I won't need to. They probably want to tell him that I should be sent to the gas chambers, but don't want to say that publicly.

Obama in all likeliness, picked Biden to be his attack dog. Now that McCain has chosen a woman candidate, not only pleasing the block of alienated Hillary supporters, he has made it very difficult for Biden to attack her during debates or any other forum without looking like a bully. The more McCain does, the better I like him. I was not sure at first, but the man has simply sandbagged everyone. He fully knows what he is doing I guess in part to the five years of captivity he endured which no doubt gave him a lot of time to think. He is a smart, thoughtful candidate and he has my full attention and respect.

re: #183 Pawn of the Oppressor

At lunch today I tuned in to PeeNN (it was still on that channel after watching the Ascension last night) and there was some idiot calling in to whatever talking head show was on. This idiot was blabbing about how "The NRA was going to completely implode" because now "common sense" was on the table and people who say "we should be allowed to own a TANK!" were going to be marginalized... Something along those lines...

Being a gun owner myself, I know by now that when I hear the words "common sense" used in the context of gun control it's almost certainly coming from some whiny leftist who really just wants to call gun owners crazy. I said some unkind words at the TV. A few minutes later they revealed that Guy On Phone was Glenn Beck.

I was surprised and disappointed. I normally like him (in the few clips I've seen of him). I know you can't agree with a person all of the time, but I was surprised to hear him talking like an East Coast Dem.

I don't know about this... Glenn Beck is a gun owner, strong second amendment supporter, and in fact was the keynote speaker at the big NRA convention a few months ago. He often says "... from my cold, dead fingers" when talking about gun rights... and he isn't kidding.

re: #301 bellamags

Obama in all likeliness, picked Biden to be his attack dog. Now that McCain has chosen a woman candidate, not only pleasing the block of alienated Hillary supporters, he has made it very difficult for Biden to attack her during debates or any other forum without looking like a bully. The more McCain does, the better I like him. I was not sure at first, but the man has simply sandbagged everyone. He fully knows what he is doing I guess in part to the five years of captivity he endured which no doubt gave him a lot of time to think. He is a smart, thoughtful candidate and he has my full attention and respect.

He is a sly old dog.

re: #269 cliffster

Why is it that people that play for a living usually are lefties?

The same reason that actors and artists of various stripes are predominantly lefties: EMOTION. Leftism is an ideology directed by emotional reaction to life situations; artists are (predominantly) individuals who are motivated by manipulating emotions in others and rely on their own emotional content to create that manipulation.

That's a brief summary of a much deeper and more elaborate thesis, but you get the idea.

re: #128 pingjockey

Mwahahaha! Gov. Palin isn't experienced. Ha. Being ouv for 2 years is more executive work than obambi or plugs has ever had.

My best bud, the E-5, had a good one on that when he heard the announcement (in between bouts of Obama-worship on the local news here in Central OH);

"If Biden tries to say she has no foreign policy experience, she can point out that Alaska has no common border with any other U.S. state, but does border Canada. Not to mention that at Little Diomede in the Bering Strait, Russia is only 23 miles away, or about as far as it is from England to France across the narrowest part of the English Channel."

To which I responded, "Most of her non-local problems as Governor are definable as 'foreign policy', half of it with a country that, last time I looked, still didn't like us very much- and I don't mean Canada."

There's also the fact that while Joe 'n Barry have spent their careers schmoozing with the most corrupt elements of their own party, Governor Palin has been confronting such elements in her home state in both parties, and is noted for tearing them new a$$holes, regardless of affiliation. Such as killing Ted Stevens' vanity project, the "Bridge to Nowhere", Alaska's version of Teddy's "Big Dig" in Boston.

Also, the announcement was made here in Ohio, in the heartland, as opposed to Washington. The Obamatrons have supposedly given up on the Buckeye State, and are working on a "49-state strategy" to win without it. (Dream on, kids; there's a saying in Presidential politics, "As goes Ohio, so goes the nation.") The surrounding states (IN, KY, PA, MI) are considered "blue" right now, with OH still "red" in spite of its now-problematic (D) Governor, Ted Strickland (whose polls are slipping every day). When Senator McCain made the announcement here, I was instantly reminded of this;


In communicating ground, move on;
In encircled ground, devise stratagems;
In death ground, fight!

Sun-Tzu, The Art of War

Ohio could be considered "encircled ground" in this respect. And Senator McCain certainly executed a well-thought-out stratagem.

IMHO, this is one more example of the "OODA Loop" in McCain's campaign- as in a dogfight at 15,000 feet, getting inside his opponent's decision loop and forcing him into reactive mode. As a result, the mistakes are already being made on the other side. (AP's remarks about her youngest son being a case in point.)

Obama went into this like the hustler he is- figuring that he could dazzle his way into the White House, by overwhelming his "tired, old" opponent with fast talk, and bluffing like somebody in a high-stakes poker game.

The trouble is, he's up against a chessmaster. Who is refusing to let him choose the game, the playing field, or the rules.

Win or lose, this should be something to see.

cheers

Anyone who says Palin has less or as little experience as Obama, just reply that Governors can't vote present. One term as governor forces one to take a lot more stands than Obama took in the state and federal legislatures where so often he merely clocked in, refusing to go on the record--or perhaps simply lacking that judgement that he touts as his sould qualification.

God, that would be a great John McCain line. "Senator Obama, if your judgement is so great, why were you so rarely able to vote anything other than present?"

Here's something I found very interesting...... Palin interviewed at her home a year ago it was because Rudy Giuliani was said to have approached her about being his VP.

Excerpt:
Our interview, for an article in Monocle, took place less than one year ago and there was talk that Rudy Giuliani, then considered a sure thing for the Republican Party's presidential nomination, had approached her about being his running mate. [Link: www.independent.co.uk...]

At work there is a man who is a new citizen from Nigeria, who is a very traditional man. He has been hounded by the African-Americans in our office because he announced he will be voting for McCain. They are doing everything but calling him an Uncle Tom. I have been telling him for 2 weeks not to let them bully him, in America we have a secret ballot, and nobody can tell him how he has to vote.

When Palin was announced he was very crestfallen that there would be a woman on the ticket.

Since I knew of his history, and that he had lived in Germany and the UK before becoming a citizen, I asked him what he thought about Maggie Thatcher. He brightened up, and said she was a very great leader. I could tell that I planted the seed in his mind that having a woman in high office was not a horrible thing.

The more I think about this veep selection, the more brilliant I think it is.

1. She makes John look good. Think, if you will, on how many television news programs have an older man and younger woman working the anchor desk: That's no accident. They've studied the demographics to death, and people like that combination.

2. The Obama camps biggest criticism will be that Palin has little experience. The problem is that she's got darned near as much as Obama himself. So McCain's tidy retort should be: "She has excellent credentials to serve as Vice President, and so, Mr. Obama, do you."

3. She undercuts the historic nature of Obama's campaign. A lot of undecided people might fall Obama's direction just because they want to be a part of Something Big. And now they have another option.

4. McCain has, quite smartly, made a move that will appeal to Hillary Clinton's devotees. Obama slammed a woman on his way to the top. McCain, though, has chosen one as his political partner.

All good.

re: #301 bellamags

Obama in all likeliness, picked Biden to be his attack dog. Now that McCain has chosen a woman candidate, not only pleasing the block of alienated Hillary supporters, he has made it very difficult for Biden to attack her during debates or any other forum without looking like a bully. The more McCain does, the better I like him. I was not sure at first, but the man has simply sandbagged everyone. He fully knows what he is doing I guess in part to the five years of captivity he endured which no doubt gave him a lot of time to think. He is a smart, thoughtful candidate and he has my full attention and respect.

i have so turned around on mccain too. i find him honest, down to earth, decent, intelligent, patriotic, funny and sincere.
b.o. is so w/ out substance and admirable qualities. ( and he complains too much. he is not inspiring.)

August 15, 2008, Juneau, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin today announced she will attend a baby shower in Trig Palin’s honor next week... Proceeds from the event will benefit the Family Ties Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit organization created to provide immediate support for the military families of wounded service members deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom.

re: #431 Killgore Trout

According to what I've seen (Gallup and Zogby), Obama's bump from the convention so far is about 6-7%. The "conventional wisdom" is that the traditional Democratic bump (with help from the MSM) should be about 14-15%. Anything under 14 is considered "worrisome" by the DNC. Anything under 10 is considered cause for the application of smelling salts to the leadership.

Gore's 2000 "bump" was barely 10%. Kerry in '04 managed 9%.

Is it my imagination, or is the trend in this "stock" steadily downward?

Somehow, I have the feeling that figure was put out to BS the Obama/MSM campaign...you know they had to have already had Palin in mind before the Dem convention and figured that the base would be very pleased with her as the VP pick. That way, they would set the bar so high that when Obama had his coronation and McCain made his Palin pick public, there could be no way they could meet it.

McCain’s ‘Hail Sarah’ Pass
His choice for veep is all but set up for failure in the fall.

Happy birthday, Johnny Mac! You're 72 now, a cancer survivor, and a presidential candidate who has said on many occasions that the most important criteria for picking a vice president is whether he or she could immediately step in if something happened to the president. Your campaign against Barack Obama is based on the simple idea that he is unready to be president. So you've picked a running mate who a year and a half ago was the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, a town of 8,500 people. You've selected a potential leader of the free world who knows little or nothing about the major issues of the day beyond energy. Oh, and she's being probed in her state for lying and abuse of power

It's called "personal growth". Obama needs quite a bit, and I'm sure that Senator McCain will be more than happy to help him any way he can between now and November.

Another positive that occurred to me while listening to her "acceptance" speech this morning (and this is related to your #1) is that she will be able to keep McCain's stature as a POW/war hero constantly in the public eye without McCain having to do it himself and appear a braggart.

May not have been him the site says so this ones close enough.

"They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an
enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away from us now!"
- Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC

The thread is moving fast an I did not:)

A friend of mine (Vietnam-era USMC Sgt.) said it like this;

" In the Corps, we don't think of it as being surrounded. We define it as a target-rich environment, with the added advantage that the enemy risks fratricide if they try too hard to hit us."

He helped defend a couple of firebases "back in the day", with an M-50 Ontos. (Six 106mm recoilless rifles- no waiting, baby!)

645 DistantThunder  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 7:45:15pm

I scammed this from a poster at the Hillary site:

Info on Palin, the Warrior :
Palin made an unsuccessful bid for Lieutenant Governor, coming in second to Loren Leman in a four-way race. After Frank Murkowski resigned from his long-held U.S. Senate seat in mid-term to become governor, Palin interviewed to be his possible successor. Instead, Murkowski appointed his daughter, then-Alaska State Representative Lisa Murkowski.

Governor Murkowski appointed Palin Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, where she served from 2003 to 2004 until resigning in protest over what she called the "lack of ethics" of fellow Alaskan Republican leaders, who ignored her whistleblowing complaints of legal violations and conflicts of interest. After she resigned, she exposed the state Republican party's chairman, Randy Ruedrich, one of her fellow Oil & Gas commissioners, who was accused of doing work for the party on public time, and supplying a lobbyist with a sensitive e-mail. Palin filed formal complaints against both Ruedrich and former Alaska Attorney General Gregg Renkes, who both resigned; Ruedrich paid a record $12,000 fine.

Palin, running on a clean-government campaign, executed an upset victory over then-Gov. Murkowski in the Republican gubernatorial primary. Despite the lack of support from party leaders and being outspent by her Democratic opponent, she went on to win the general election in November 2006, defeating former Governor Tony Knowles. Palin said in 2006 that education, public safety, and transportation would be three cornerstones of her administration.

When elected, Palin became the first woman to be Alaska's governor, and the youngest governor in Alaskan history at 42 years old upon taking office. Palin was also the first Alaskan governor born after Alaska achieved U.S. statehood. She was also the first Alaskan governor not to be inaugurated in Juneau, instead choosing to hold her inauguration ceremony in Fairbanks. She took office on December 4, 2006.

Highlights of Governor Palin's tenure include a successful push for an ethics bill, and also shelving pork-barrel projects supported by fellow Republicans. Palin successfully killed the Bridge to Nowhere project that had become a nationwide symbol of wasteful earmark spending. "Alaska needs to be self-sufficient, she says, instead of relying heavily on 'federal dollars,' as the state does today."

She has challenged the state's Republican leaders, helping to launch a campaign by Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell to unseat U.S. Congressman Don Young and publicly challenging Senator Ted Stevens to come clean about the federal investigation into his financial dealings. Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard praised Palin as a "politician of eye-popping integrity" and referred to her rise as "a great (and rare) story of how adherence to principle—especially to transparency and accountability in government—can produce political success."


Wow! Took down the attorney general! The girl got cajones!

Fine. So: Cancel the Convention. It's a useless anachronism anyway, only good for building publicity. So funnel a healthy dose of RNC money to the TX/LA/MS/wherever coast, and move the whole show down to the gulf, where volunteers wearing McCain/Palin '08 t-shirts can help hand out bottled water and bagged ice.

No old white guy at the microphone. No too-cute kids on the stage. Just hard work and John McCain in a constant series of Town Hall meetings.

It would:

1) Divorce the Republican party from this notion that the Bush administration didn't respond well after Katrina, and

2) Generate a cosmic, unstoppable supernova of publicity. Which is the only point of the lame Convention anyway.

Her parents' 4 X 4 sports a bumper sticker reading "Vegetarian - Old Indian Word for 'Bad Hunter'".

She and her husband have always worked summers together in his commercial fishing biz.

Now Sarah and her hunky husband and cute kids can be on all the covers of all the magazines as the new Hot Item.

The Obamas peaked too early - a classic rookie mistake.

An old Steer and young protege stood atop a hill overlooking a field full of cows, and as took in what was before them the young Steer got excited and belted out: "QUICK, LET'S RUN DOWN THERE AND F*#K ONE OF THOSE COWS!". The old steer gathered himself and said: "You go on ahead, I plan on walking down there and f*#king them all."

The story just seems to apply here..... I don't know why.

My hubby's co-worker was freaking about this today and he admitted to being scared. Then he said something about her being mayor of a small city. Hubby reminded him that she's also gov of a state and it was like *blank look*.

Are the leftists truly going to try to just skip the fact that she's the Governor of Alaska? NOT a mayor anymore (but still - as a mayor she gained more exec experience than all three combined). I can only imagine (and pray for) the mockery that will come from the McCain commercials if they keep this up.

Every time I think the dems can't get more absurd they get me again.

re: #650 Cognito

All right.

So we're thinking big this election cycle, right? Radical politics, hope and change and unorthodox candidates and all the rest.

Fine. So: Cancel the Convention. It's a useless anachronism anyway, only good for building publicity. So funnel a healthy dose of RNC money to the TX/LA/MS/wherever coast, and move the whole show down to the gulf, where volunteers wearing McCain/Palin '08 t-shirts can help hand out bottled water and bagged ice.

No old white guy at the microphone. No too-cute kids on the stage. Just hard work and John McCain in a constant series of Town Hall meetings.

It would:

1) Divorce the Republican party from this notion that the Bush administration didn't respond well after Katrina, and

2) Generate a cosmic, unstoppable supernova of publicity. Which is the only point of the lame Convention anyway.

How about the governor actually implements a state disaster pland and requests federal aid, and the mayor moves the hundreds of school buses out before they get submerged?

669 Yankee Division Son  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 7:50:25pm

Upon first hearing of McCain's choice for VP this afternoon while quite busy with work, I was thinking.... WHO?! Uh Oh... (I'm a huge Mitt fan)

Since I've been home, and have had a chance to catch up and read up, the more I learn about her, the more I like her. Apparently, she's a member of the NRA, a licensed gun owner and avid hunter. She's a licensed pilot, has a son in the US military (like McCain himself I believe, though he never talks about it) vetoed the infamous pork project "bridge to nowhere" sponsored by a member of her own party, and is reportedly one of the most popular governors in Alaskan history.(please chime in and correct me if I'm wrong, still learning about her)

Not to mention she occasionally goes fishing... in the Bearing Sea!

Another thing I found interesting, unlike Obama's camp, the McCain team was organized enough to keep it a secret right up until almost right before he announced it. Her parents didn't even know until this morning when they got a phone call telling to turn on the TV news. They were reportedly upset at first, (before they turned the TV on) because they were about to leave on a caribou hunting trip.

Wow.. did McCain pick Wonder Woman in disguise?

670 arizona9  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 7:50:26pm

Ok, any Alaskans out there. I forced myself to watch Olbermann(briefly, all I could take)and he was talking to a guest that said that Palin's opposition to the bridge to nowhere was a recent flip flop...that she had originally supported it. Anyone know if this is true?

re: #600 Cartman

I'm guessing Sarah likes a .25-06. I got one, and it's a sweet, fairly mild shooter, and will take down most N.A. game with a heavier bullet. Just my take on that one. ;)

I concur. My personal "light rifle" for everything but large-sized bear is a 6.5 x55mm Swedish Mauser. Its more than enough for anything east of the Big Muddy. Starts out slower than the .270, but at 250-300 yards, same velocity, same drop with same bullet weight. Ballistic charts say, "too light for elk or caribou", which would surprise elk in the Northwest and caribou in Scandinavia, which fall down dead with a properly-placed hit to the shoulders/heart/lungs.

I guess they don't read ballistics charts much.

Her parents' 4 X 4 sports a bumper sticker reading "Vegetarian - Old Indian Word for 'Bad Hunter'".

She and her husband have always worked summers together in his commercial fishing biz.

We haven't had this salt-of-the-earth, non-elitist candidate running for any national office since ____? She's a shock to our system of suffering through the machinations of corrupt, pompous ass politicians on both sides of the aisles.

They made him "saw man" for a while in Iraq. I credit the 50 caliber for that.

Obama :: bb gun :: too much recoil.

I always preferred the Brown Bess ( 75 caliber ball) for black powder shooting.

There is a very deep warm current in the Gulf; if Gustav enters the gulf and hangs out over that deep warm water even briefly, it could gather strength quickly, like both Katrina & Rita did.

Oh the irony, that the Dems support sex offenders like Bill and the wife who remains in a convenient relationship so that her own ego can be realized when you have people of character in Palin and McCain. [I would love to see what Mrs. Palin would do to the former molester-in-chief were he to try a Monica move on her]

On the other hand, NARAL stands on the sidelines crowing they will never support this woman [Palin] because she will not agree that killing babies is somehow ok.

The truth is that the Dems will get in their shots with a willing accomplice in the leftist media but substantively, the American People will see through the charade.

In my view, victory is entirely possible. It is a little like the Jets getting Farvre. He doesn't know the Jets system and their playbook but he has great natural ability and instincts and he will pick it up even if he has to "cram." She is smart and by the time she has to debate "plugs" she will be ready.

OHHHH .50 cal Sniper Rifle. All time fav for distance up to 1300 meters. 6 shots, 10 inch group, 1000 meters. 3 click wind.

Was on a couple of Rifle and pistol teams while in the USMC back in the day

When my uncle was in the Navy in WW II, he was paid to shoot 8,000 or more pistol rounds per day. He could hold a Coke™ bottle shoulder high and drop it and before it hit the ground, draw and shoot the bottom out of the bottle through the neck. (Nice run-on sentence.) He could also flip a washer with tape over the hole up in the air and shoot a hole through the tape without affecting the washer's movement.

My grandfather always screwed up his shooting tests because he figured he would be made a sniper. He still shot an uncountable number of enemy. When he squirrel hunted, he always shot them in the eyes. He was pretty good too.

Me? Outa practice.

Who? Carter was a junior officer on a submarine, never commanded anything. He would have been responsible for a division (equivalent to an army platoon) of maybe a dozen or so men (size varies).

hmm... anyone know exactly how big a border Alaska has with either foreign nations (Canada) or international waters (patroled by the Russian fleet, one might add)? That would be a good, if not perfect, comeback to a question of her foreign policy creds.

I read that she had done some international work with Canada. Some kind of negotiations or agreements. Anyone know?

re: #203 Archimedes

Hockey is a brutal sport. Sticks in the face, ice against the head, boards, elbows. It's legal to hit and fight, and ice skates can cut.

When in high school up in South Bend, my friends and I rented a local indoor rink out every so often and one of my friend's dad was a hockey coach so he had all the equipment. We basically skated around trying to destroy each other for three hours. My friend Jay snuck up on 6'6'' Scott, and pounded him so hard he was upended and his skates cut right across Jay's face. It left a nasty scar and a lot of blood, but since we were numb from the cold, he wasn't even aware he'd been sliced open so bad. A couple years later he was stabbed and almost died in a fight at a fraternity party at Marquette University. Now he is an insurance executive for Blue Cross/Blue Shield NY. Hockey is so cool.

Yeah, something having to due with some oil and gas contracts.

I have to just thank Charles, again, for the availability of this "blog entity" to all of us (Welcome!, Hatchlings!) and for never losing his own sense of who he is and his own honest sense of inquiry and values. Yay to Charles. I just posted the Rosenberg interview (again, apparently) with Stanley Kurtz and Steve Diamond and, though he is an interesting and highly trained person, I think Rosenberg and some others in media and the blogworld seem to lose their ...what -- humility? Modesty? Charles, fearless Lizard Leader, you haven't, and that's becoming more and more rare. We all need clarity and concentration in the next few months (and more hours in the day, dammit!), and Charles is one of the few actually important voices who retains who he is and is making a genuinely important contribution -- not least, by creating and continually upgrading this amazing tool for all of us. We owe you, man.

Welcome newbies! Tea, Earl Grey, Hot please.

Greetings to the newbies, be sure to fill out your W4s for the Zionist Payroll Clerk ...

You know, Charles, you might consider replacing the antiquated teddy bear hamsters with the smaller and faster syrian dwarf hamsters.  Twice the output in half the space.  Of course the teddy bear hamsters are such sweet little fellas whereas the syrian (or even russian) dwarf hamsters will chew the crap outta one if one's not careful ...

And, yes, Sarah Palin is the hottest Veep I've ever seen.

Maybe McCain should steal a page from Heff and make all of his cabinet ministers, etc., such beautiful choices.  Then we could get a nice calendar of the gorgeous ladies of the GOP.  One wants to see how Ahmadinejad deals with Secretary of State Muffin O'Toole, former Miss October, former Miss Georgia Peach Blossom, former Miss Ol' Mis from Praline, GA, who's turn-ons include walks on the beach, lots of candles, and shaking a nuclear fist in the face of squirmy little dictators who deserve it ... and making them mind.

I bet he's been dreaming of it his whole life.

re: #787 OldLineTexan

Why not just go with the 8x57 Mauser? Then you don't have a sloppy fit on the bolt face. 3 different cases: JR, JS and JRS. My 16x16x8mm dreilling launches 196gr JRS PSPs at 2350+ fps. and will kill ANYTHING in North America cleanly. S&B ammo is very consistent, accurate and available very reasonably priced.

Just my 2 cents worth

re: #585 talon_262

I hope she likes .50 cals, but again, that might be a bit impractical for game hunting (unless they were in a armored vehicle with body armor on)...it'd damn near vaporize the game.

;-P

Fifth picture down :-).

I think you need to breed more hamsters for the server system!
