Catastrophe is winning.

Catastrophe is winning a few battles. It won't win the war.

Catastrophy is always winning...but we are all still here

re: #1 stuiec

Not if we choose to let it. Catastrophe is a state, but we can use that state to advance ourselves. Stasis is death, but chaos is life. And catastrophe is a form of chaos. You just chose to ride the edge that is all.

And yes, they stole the special effects from the original BSG

Catastrophe is guaranteed to win the war, because it will swallow up the battlefield and everyone on it. Eventually.

Why you NEVER want libturds running your state or city (Like, oh, maybe New York): All they're good at is raising taxes on everything-

An "iPod tax" that charges state and local sales tax for "digitally delivered entertainment services" - in other words, that new song you download.

State sales tax at movie theaters, sporting events, taxis, buses, limousines and cable and satellite TV and radio.

Costlier driving with the repeal of the 8-cents-per-gallon sales tax cap on motor and diesel motor fuel, plus and increase in the auto rental tax.

Tuition increases at SUNY and CUNY, $620 and $600 a year respectively.

A 50 cent tax on cigars. The current tax is equal to 37% of the wholesale price, or 34 cents a cigar.

No more sales tax break on clothes and shoes worth $110 or less, except during two weeks a year.

Higher taxes on wine, beer and flavored malt beverages. He would also impose an 18% tax on non-nutritional drinks like soda.

The rich would pay more for luxury items through an additional 5% tax imposed on cars costing more than $60,000, aircraft costing more than $500,000, yachts costing at least $200,000 and jewelry and furs costing in excess of $20,000.

In addition, a host of a fees, including those related to motor vehicle licensing and registration, parks and auto insurance, would go up, as would various state-imposed fines.

re: #23 Ozark Mountain Daredevil

The Wells quote reminds me of the joke about the two hunters who come across a set of tracks in the woods. The first hunter says, "Ah! Moose tracks!"

The second hunter says, "Are you blind? Those are bear tracks!"

"Moose tracks!"

"Bear tracks!"

They might have kept up arguing for hours, if they hadn't both been run over by the train.

Al Gore wants you to agree with him that they're bear tracks. He ignores the train that's building up a head of steam under Yellowstone Lake -- one of many trains barreling down upon us from various quarters of both the globe and the cosmos.

re: #27 Sharmuta

Education for catastrophe?

the logistical nightmare of even trying to get everyone out in an orderly fashion, let alone where/how are you going to house, feed, water, sewage everyone is ridiculous... the sheer number of people, and the fact that there are only a few ways out, due to physical choke points, not to mention the distance to the next habitable area (other than the San Joaquin Valley) makes this, IMHO, folly beyond folly.

i neglected to ask what scenario they were planning on, but if it's NBC, it's all the dumber, because we're on the ocean, so the only way out is north, unless you want to stay in the plume, and the only routes are the 101 & the 5...

might as well just DIP: you're likely to have more survivors that way.

I'm more than sure there is spending that can be cut without layoffs. Government managers always start off cutting the things that will piss people off or get sympathy.

But personally I'm tired of the mindset that government can save money by getting rid of "them lazyassed government employees". All the government employees I know, whether city, county, state or fed are all hard working men and women that earn their pay. ;-)>

Happy birthday, Adolf Hitler! Boy with nazi leader's name denied ShopRite cake

BY LARRY MCSHANE
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Tuesday, December 16th 2008, 5:27 PM

This Hitler youth is blond-haired, blue-eyed and just turned three.

Adolf Hitler Campbell is the middle child of three kids given Nazi-themed names by their parents, including a dad who denies the Holocaust occurred and decorates his home with swastikas.

"They're just names, you know," father Heath Campbell told the Easton Express-Times. "Yeah, they (the Nazis) were bad people back then. But my kids are little. They're not going to grow up like that."

Adolf has two sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie. The latter, just eight months old, was named for Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler.

The bizarre names came to public attention after a local ShopRite declined to provide the Holland Township, N.J., family with a cake inscribed "Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler."

"Other kids get their cake," Campbell complained. "I get a hard time. It's not fair to my children. How can a name be offensive?"

The kids are growing up in a home festooned with a swastika in every room. The father wears boots that once belonged to a Nazi soldier, and claims a relative was a member of Hitler's feared Schutzstaffel.

The parents insist they are not racist, although they don't believe in mingling the races.

And Heath Campbell claims he doesn't understand why people are shocked when they hear his son's full name.

Someone give him a history book.

Yes- and that nice boy down the street, Benito Fidel.

A little oriental boy was attending a new school on his first day. The teacher asked him what his name was.

"H. S. Mao", he replied.

"And what do your initials stand for, Master Mao?"

The little boy fidgeted uncomfortably. "Hitler Stalin", he replied.

Both the teacher and his classmates gasped. "If you don't mind me getting too personal, H-Hitler, why on earth woud your parents choose such a name for you?"

"Well, teacher, my parents didn't want a kid right then - they weren't even married at the time - but they don't believe in abortion, so when their birth control failed, and Mom got pregnant, they had to get married unexpectedly, right away, or catch hell from my grandparents, and they were massively pissed."

Now I expect Bill Ayers to offer both of them associate professorships at his college, or at least foundation board seats. After all, they are merely carrying on his struggle by targeting bombs against symbols of the power structure.

Just in case it hasn't been mentioned before but YouTube has a Turner Classic Movie clip of actors, actresses and other notables that have passed away this year. Some I completely missed the news on and surprised by, but all will be missed.

That was well done. I got a few chills. Right away I recognized the actor who played Lou in Chinatown ("Make a decision, Lou. You're in charge.") and didn't realize he's gone.

I haven't been around long enough to get the comic in connection with littleoldlady, but I thought of her because of her fruitcup when I was in the dentist office today looking through a Real Simple magazine that showed jello that is molded in muffin pans using those cupcake liners which you peel away and then serve the luscious looking cups. I know it was made with raspberry jello, whole berry cranberry sauce, crushed pineapple, and I don't know if there was anything else. I don't get the magazine, so I may have to improvise.

Charles has been posting some Keith Jarrett piano jazz videos recently, but I just stumbled on some Erroll Garner videos on YouTube, and I must say: nobody, and I mean nobody, can hold a candle to Erroll Garner. Just insanely, effortlessly talented and virtuosic. Keep in mind, when watching videos like "I Get a Kick Out of You," that not only did Garner never learn how to read a single note of music, but that (as you will see) he basically never looks at the keyboard when playing. Pay special close attention to the second half of the song -- when you look at his face, he seems to be just goofing around, hardly even paying attention to what his hands are doing -- while he uncorks some of the most creative improvisations ever. Just astounding.

I live on the Gulf Coast, in the Hurricane Belt. Three things that are essential here are 1) a huge supply of stored gasoline, so you can run your electric generator when your power goes out, 2) an electric generator housed in a massively reinforced and externally ventilated outside shed (so the carbon monoxide exhaust doesn't kill you), wired to your electrical grid by an underground line, so the downed trees don't break your generator-house connection and you can always pour gas in and power your house grid up when the hurricane downs your powerlines for beaucoup weeks, and 3) a full tank gas powered chain saw with a brand new spark plug, so when the wind dies down, you can crank it with no problems, cut your way through the downed trees out to the shed, and fuel and fire up your electric generator.

re: #202 TheMatrix31

Anyone have a heated towel rack? How well do they work?

The racks can shuck the towels, heated or otherweise, as far as I'm concerned...;~)

Sharmuta,

1-1/2 lbs brussels sprouts
1 tsp salt
4 Tbsp butter, melted
4 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
4 Tbsp breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp seasoning salt (like Lawry)

Wash, trim sprouts. Cut an "X" about 1/4" deep on stem end (helps cook them through)

Put sprouts in a pot. Cover with water. (Add salt.) Bring to a boil and simmer for about 6 minutes until tender but not over cooked.

Mix all dry ingredients together. Dip sprouts (one at a time) in butter, then the breading mix.

Place in a casserole dish and put under the broiler (4" away) for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned.

That's the actual recipe. Here's how I've changed it:
More butter, less parmesan, more garlic and seasoning salt.

If my people only knew how frikken EASY most of my Thanksgiving recipes are...well I'M certainly not going to tell them! ;-)

re: #205 Salamantis

Interesting. CNN backs off from total assurance in the Global Warming narrative. Note the qualifiers in its page one blurb for it's lead story this morning at the moment..

[Link: www.cnn.com...]

Between 1.5 trillion and 2 trillion tons of ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska has melted at an accelerating rate since 2003, according to NASA scientists, in the latest signs of what they say is global warming.

That qualifier doesn't slip in there by accident, or by some personal quirk on the part of the editor such as, say, good journalistic practice. They must be shifting policy to a more cautious stance.

I know it was made with raspberry jello, whole berry cranberry sauce, crushed pineapple, and I don't know if there was anything else. I don't get the magazine, so I may have to improvise.

This is what we have every Turkey Day and other times of the year.

1 (6 oz.) pkg. cranberry jello (not the instant kind)
1 (16 oz.) can whole cranberry sauce
1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple/drained
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tub Cool/Dream Whip (the real kind, not that diet/non-fat crap)

Make Jello according to package directions minus 1/2 cup of water. Slightly cool Jello with 4 to 6 ice cubes in large bowl stirring frequently. (Remove cubes when your arm gets tired).

Dump all remaining ingredients into bowl and mix well.

Pour into a Jello Mold (we use a fluted Bundt Cake pan) and refrigerate until set. I guess you could spoon the mixture into cupcake liners, never thought about that. I guess it would make for nice individual servings though.

Enjoy
