Sunday Night Open

Open • Views: 2,867

Here’s an open thread to discuss whatever the heck is on your mind. The Grammys are on! The Grammys are on! (Gotta admit that my interest in this show approaches absolute zero; these awards are supposed to be about merit rather than popularity, but in reality it’s a music industry self-congratulation session, and the best musicians are almost never recognized. Your mileage may differ.)

UPDATE at 2/8/09 6:35:08 pm:

Don’t look now, but registration is open for a limited time.

UPDATE at 2/8/09 7:22:31 pm:

Now closed with 34 hatchlings.

For the Foodies....
Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China

. Alford and Duguid, authors of the acclaimed Mangoes & Curry Leaves, explore the food and peoples of the outlaying regions of present-day China, historically home to those not ethnically Chinese. Part travel guide and part cookbook, this collection looks at the cultural survival and preservation of food in smaller societies including that of the Tibetan, Mongol, Tuvan and Kirghiz peoples, among others.

Recipes from western China. Not your typical Chinese food. Highly recommended.

The NYT ran yet another anti-Israel Op-Ed today:

Why the Muslim World Can’t Hear Obama

....We saw Mr. Obama as a symbol of this justice. We welcomed him with almost total enthusiasm until he underwent his first real test: Gaza. Even before he officially took office, we expected him to take a stand against Israel’s war on Gaza. We still hope that he will condemn, if only with simple words, this massacre that killed more than 1,300 Palestinians, many of them civilians. (I don’t know what you call it in other languages, but in Egypt we call this a massacre.) We expected him to address the reports that the Israeli military illegally used white phosphorus against the people of Gaza. We also wanted Mr. Obama, who studied law and political science at the greatest American universities, to recognize what we see as a simple, essential truth: the right of people in an occupied territory to resist military occupation.

Change Business Owners Can Believe In

As the Manager of a small business that employs 80 people, I have finally resigned to the fact that Barrack Obama will be our next President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for the tax increases I figure our customers will have to see a price increase of about 8%, but due to the dismal state of our economy we can’t increase prices right now, so we’ll have to lay off 7 of our employees instead. This problem has really been eating at me, as I believe we’re all family here and I just don’t know how to choose who will have to go. Everyone has families and our employees are good people.

So this is what I did… I walked through our parking lot and found 7 Obama ‘08 bumper stickers on our employees’ cars, and decided that these employees will be the first to be laid off. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. These folks wanted change, so I gave it to them.

If you have a better idea, let me know. Sincerely, a small business owner.

Here's a frustrating note: I subscribed to Google News notifications about 'evolution science' and tonight I got an email with a link to this creationist attack on LGF:

[Link: fwcon.wordpress.com...]

But in several months of such notifications, LGF hasn't appeared once, even though I think it's safe to say we have thousands of times the traffic of this guy. If you use Google's blog search for 'evolution', LGF is nowhere to be found:

[Link: blogsearch.google.com...]

And the same thing applies to other blog searches via Google, including any of the other main topics we cover.

What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong? Any SEO people out there want to weigh in?

Or is Google deliberately shoving LGF to the bottom of the list?

Barack Obama -vs- An Intelligent Little Girl

Barack Obama was seated next to a little girl on an airplane trip back to Washington. He turned to her and said, “Let’s talk. I’ve heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to The Obama, “What would you like to talk about?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” said the Obama. “How about What Changes I Should Make To America?” and he smiles.

“OK,” she says. “That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?”

Obama, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence, thinks about it for a second and finally says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”

To which the little girl replies, “Do you really feel qualified to change America when you don’t know shit?”

Lion vs Little Girl… And A Christian

A man is walking through the zoo when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to devour her right in front the little girl’s screaming parents.

The man runs to the cage, hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumps back letting go of the girl and the man returns her to her terrified parents.

A reporter has seen the whole scene and says to the rescuer: ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life.’

‘Why, it was nothing,’ said the man. ‘Really, the lion was behind bars and I knew God would protect me just as He did Daniel in the lions den long, long ago. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt was right.’

‘I noticed a bible in your pocket. Are you a Republican,’ asked the journalist.

‘Yes, and I’m a Christian on my way to a bible study,’ the man replies.

‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed… I’m a journalist and tomorrow’s paper will have this on the front page. The journalist leaves.

The following morning the man buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads on first page: “Right Wing Republican Christian Fundamentalist Assaults African Immigrant and Steals His Lunch.“

Well, I pray for those fire fighters who must just about totally exhausted. And, yes, if the toll is lower, even 150, it is still too high. Especially as some of these have been deliberately lit.

And I blame the Greens and environmentalists as well. In the last decade or so they have taken over the running of national and state parks and haven't done any hazard prevention (burn offs to lessen the fuel load).

Don't they realize that fire is a natural part of Australia's history? For the last 50,000 - 60,000 years with the aborigines and even before that when there was no human occupation it has been.

The Greens and the lefties are a menace to all societies.

High-ranking (British) Foreign Office diplomat arrested over anti-Semitic tirade in the gym...Stunned staff and gym members allegedly heard him shout: 'F**king Israelis, f**king Jews'. It is alleged he also said Israeli soldiers should be 'wiped off the face of the earth'.....Two points to make here 1) This unstable anti-semite should never have been in a position of authority. 2) He should have been fired, not arrested.

Don't they feel like frauds with Sir Paul and Robert Plant there? Stairway and /insert favorite Beatle song here/ will be around long after no one remembers their songs, I would think.

Well since neither a Zeppelin or a Beatle song were up for a nomination I think Coldplay deserves to be there. And while I'm not putting Chris Martin and Co. in the realm of the aforementioned giants they are pretty good. I was skeptical of Coldplay initially but I finally gave them a chance three or four years ago and they now rank in the top 3 of my all time favorite active bands of the last 30 years. Okay, maybe top 5. Unfortunately Chris Martin is a complete leftist with a crazy hatred of George Bush that is pretty unsettling but I have to separate the music from the man. And he named his kid Apple....

What rule am I missing here?

The "Rule" that Creation goes like Genesis lays it out.
I'm talking ID/Creationist/6000 year old earth rule.

Well, there's that.

The book of Genesis is not a biology textbook. God, I suspect, is quite bright. Giving a bunch of tribal nomads a detailed explanation of the biochemical origins of life would have been about as useful as giving a four-year-old a detailed explanation of human reproduction, complete with cell-division illustrations. The four-year-old gets "When a Mommy and a Daddy love each other and want to have a baby...", and we get "I created you in my image out of the earth."

No one is being lied to, above, we're both getting the most important truth. And both we and the four-year-old grow, and learn, and understand more as time goes on.

re: #40 Charles

Here's a frustrating note: I subscribed to Google News notifications about 'evolution science' and tonight I got an email with a link to this creationist attack on LGF:

[Link: fwcon.wordpress.com...]

But in several months of such notifications, LGF hasn't appeared once, even though I think it's safe to say we have thousands of times the traffic of this guy. If you use Google's blog search for 'evolution', LGF is nowhere to be found:

[Link: blogsearch.google.com...]

And the same thing applies to other blog searches via Google, including any of the other main topics we cover.

What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong? Any SEO people out there want to weigh in?

Or is Google deliberately shoving LGF to the bottom of the list?


Google favors the left, and the kooks from the right. I'm supposedly in google news feeds but sometimes even though I might have the only pertinent article on somethign going on in Pakistan nothing appears. It's a mystery to me. I honestly think they take a look and sometimes blackflag you.

One thing that has helped for appearing in the "web" section but not the "news" section is google xhtml sitemap. I use a wp utility for that, you can read about it here, and there are some discussion groups on it.

The other thing I've discovered is that "evolution" by itself often gets you more tech and opinion articles than ones on evolutionary biology. So the DI tags probably help, evolution by itself is too broad a web term, and appears everywhere in all kinds of articles.

Does anybody dispute that Charlie Parker had more talent in his little toenail than all the people in that Grammy award hall put together? Funny how people will complain about how much a CEO of a fortune 500 company makes (when that company employs thousands) but not a word about how much Kanye West earns....

Hmmm. Well, Bird was a genius but with Paul McCartney in the audience I'd have to say that throws a kink into your statement.

Not to mention Jay Z or Diddy. Okay, that was a joke....

I find it interesting that the Grand Canyon - a textbook in the geological history of our planet was created in just about the same time frame that people appeared on the planet.

Almost as if it were put there to educate us - when the time arrived. But that's probably just my imagination.

It's hard for me to consider this magnificent universe from this incredibly fortunate planet - and not think that somewhere, somehow, someone is watching out for us.

[Link: fwcon.wordpress.com...]

But in several months of such notifications, LGF hasn't appeared once, even though I think it's safe to say we have thousands of times the traffic of this guy. If you use Google's blog search for 'evolution', LGF is nowhere to be found:

...What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong? Any SEO people out there want to weigh in?

Or is Google deliberately shoving LGF to the bottom of the list?

There are other Black republicans. I normally hang out on a site called THE CONFLUENCE. It is a PUMA site, for people who were against Barack Obama.

Being black I was expected to be a democrat. I admit that deep down I never really believed what the liberals were proposing. Once I had a date with a guy who was a Republican and after hearing my views on politics, he said do you know that you sound like a Republican?

That was the first time I noticed that I may be a closeted Republican but I suppressed it. I would go on dates with liberal guys who were into protesting stupid shit and I would just sit there in silence.

I will say that I am center right and not hard core conservative. I am pro-choice. I am just more fiscally conservative. I believe that the DNC uses African Americans and I voted for McCain/Palin and not Obama.

re: #348 afrocity

There are other Black republicans. I normally hang out on a site called THE CONFLUENCE. It is a PUMA site, for people who were against Barack Obama.

Being black I was expected to be a democrat. I admit that deep down I never really believed what the liberals were proposing. Once I had a date with a guy who was a Republican and after hearing my views on politics, he said do you know that you sound like a Republican?

That was the first time I noticed that I may be a closeted Republican but I suppressed it. I would go on dates with liberal guys who were into protesting stupid shit and I would just sit there in silence.

I will say that I am center right and not hard core conservative. I am pro-choice. I am just more fiscally conservative. I believe that the DNC uses African Americans and I voted for McCain/Palin and not Obama.

Afrocity- Welcome!

I live in a city that is close to 50% african-american, and so about half the people I know and work with are african-american.

In conversations - we have the same values and desires for the future of this country, the same aggravations with high taxes and "social" programs.

SO - why, then, do they almost all vote Dem?
And, how to reach them?

425 funky chicken  Sun, Feb 8, 2009 7:22:15pm

Here's the RRRA, if anybody is interested:

[Link: rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com...]

I was a Democrat until 5/31/08. The DNC engaged in voter fraud and theft;ignored the reports of caucus fraud;took away delegates from Clinton and gave them to Obama;remained silent while Clinton was treated with misogyny by the media; remained silent at the race-baiting;and stopped being DEMOCRATIC. I stopped being a Democrat that day. My party get hijacked by those who do not uphold Democratic ideals and has lost its way. If the DNC returns to being Democratic, so might I.

Of course if I had a crapload of cash and I spent some time in Manhattan shopping, seeing shows and chowing down at fancy restaurants maybe I would "heart" New York.

Vatican is moving in the right direction:

Holocaust - Denier Removed From Argentine Seminary

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - An ultra-traditionalist Roman Catholic bishop who has drawn sharp criticism from the Vatican and Jewish groups for denying the extent of the Holocaust was removed as the head of an Argentine seminary, a Catholic Church official said on Sunday.

Pope Benedict angered Jewish leaders and progressive Catholics last month when he lifted excommunications on the bishop, Richard Williamson, and three other traditionalists to try to heal a 20-year-old schism within the Church.

The Vatican has since ordered the bishop to publicly recant his views questioning whether the Nazis used gas chambers and the number of Jews who died.

But Williamson, who is British-born, recently told Germany's Spiegel magazine he must first review historical evidence before considering an apology....

[Link: www.nytimes.com...]

They still need to taken the next step though and rid the Church of him entirely.

Anybody here ice skate?

My daughter went skating for the first time today and really liked it. If she decides to go enough I told her I would buy a pair of skates rather than renting. The question I have is what type of skate is good for beginners? The figure skating style with toe picks or the hockey style?

I don't know if there's been a resolution to that issue, but I heard it, and it seems pretty blatant to me (could have been one of those subconscious things, but the hook comes about 50 seconds into each tune...and it's about as close to identical as you could get); now they're saying that Joe ripped it off from some Cat Steven's tune, and there are some similarities, but it's not as obvious.

Something I noticed today: I was in a very, very liberal-oriented bookstore here in DC ("Politics & Prose"). Their shelf of featured books on "current events" are, naturally, nearly all liberal (with the few that aren't mostly neutral works on technical topics).

But when I've been in this store in the past, say a year or two ago, many of the titles had to do with the supposed awful failure of the Iraq war. Titles along the lines of, Fiasco: The Disaster of Bush's Mistake in Iraq, or Disaster: Why The War in Iraq is a Fiasco, or maybe Bush's Mistake: The Quagmire Disaster in Iraq... you get the idea.

I couldn't help but notice that those sorts of titles just aren't around any more.

Gee, I wonder why not?

“There’s been a lot of songs I think that have been at least partially inspired by the election, and I think a lot of people were inspired by the historic nature of his candidacy,” he said.

“A lot of people were inspired by his rhetoric because I think he’s a really inspiring speaker and he’s a poet in a way,” said Legend. “I think a lot of artists saw him as an artist in his own way and inspired us to be creative and that’s a pretty remarkable thing, I think. He’s kind of a once-in-a-lifetime speaker.”

She let herself be intimidated by it and was thereafter unsure of her footing This was the first bloodletting of measure, one that set the tone for the howls of racist we now frequently hear.

"Race relations" have been set back a few decades. She should have stood strong against the accusation and let it all fall where it would.

It is very important to point out and remember that the Pope is doing these things to protect the Church from redicule and shame caused by this deranged 'bishop'

POPE ON THE DEFENSIVE
The Intractable Brothers from SSPX

By Sebastian Fischer, Julia Jüttner and Philipp Wittrock
The Vatican is upping the pressure, public prosecutors are continuing to investigate and criticism keeps rolling in -- but the Society of Saint Pius X refuses to give in. Even worse, the Catholic Church is running out of levers to force it to comply.

I thought so too. But a lot of the teenaged girls today were wearing hockey skates. Maybe it's become "cool" to wear them or something? And by the way, these girls weren't doing any fancy figure skating moves.

And you are right about one thing: Nearly every boy or man on the ice had on hockey skates with the exception of those using rentals.

Maybe it's a macho thing. The hockey skates certainly look cool.

Around 150 years or so ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a private investigator named Alan Pinkerton for protection - marking the beginning of the Secret Service. Since that date, Federal police authority has grown in depth, scope, and to a large number of multi-letter agencies - CID, OSI, NIS, FBI, CIA, INS, IRS, DEA, BATF, etc. Recently, due in large part to the September 11th tragedy, we now we have the “Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service.”

I can see it now, just visualize… highly trained men and women… in their black outfits… with agency initials in large white letters across their backs: “FATASS” - I feel safer already, don’t you?

Now, compare it to the British political class which has remained indifferent and silent on the issue of antisemitism in the UK....

I thought so too. But a lot of the teenaged girls today were wearing hockey skates. Maybe it's become "cool" to wear them or something? And by the way, these girls weren't doing any fancy figure skating moves.

And you are right about one thing: Nearly every boy or man on the ice had on hockey skates with the exception of those using rentals.

Maybe it's a macho thing. The hockey skates certainly look cool.

I think hockey skates are more comfortable, but I'm not any kind of expert skater.

I tried to like them. I really did. For no other reason than so many people raved about them, I figured there must be something there.
But I just never could find even a single song I could like.

To me they are White Zinfandel. Once the rave for those who rarely drank wine ( like me) I tried and tried it but I never developed a taste for it but instead jumped straight to real wine which I really enjoyed.

re: #680 sleepyone

Now a contradiction. I was told that figure skates had wider blades than hockey skates. Is this incorrect?

My experience (was about 8 at the time and tried both)is that the wider blades on figure skates made them a little easier for beginners for balance and were kinder to the ankles as the muscles, ligaments, etc. adjust.

Just me though...

The Outlaws? OMG you brought back some memories for me. When I was about 14, my Momma and I were dirt poor. We lived above a bar that was owned by family friends. I remember that I could walk that main street at ANY time of night or day, bikes lined up...and never worry about nothing. They also had a conflict going with the Pagans. When both rolled into town...they partied together. All were most concerned with me getting home safely though. I really don't have any problem with bikers. I actually respect them because they knew my Momma wasn't into what they were into and they respected that. Props to the bikers.

709 Dustyvet  Sun, Feb 8, 2009 8:12:36pm

Investigators at a major research institution have discovered the heaviest element known to science. This startling new discovery has been tentatively named Administratium (Ad). This new element has no protons or electrons, thus having an atomic number of 0. It does, however, have 1 neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons, and 111 assistant vice neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by a force called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would normally take less than a second. Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years; it does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons, vice neutrons, and assistant vice neutrons exchange places.

In fact, an Administratium sample’s mass will actually increase over time, since with each reorganization some of the morons inevitably become neutrons, forming new isotopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to speculate that Administratium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as the “Critical Morass”.

Ha. That's pretty good. I like the comparison to Zinfandel. That's exactly what I thought of them before I gave them a chance. Sort of a vanilla band in the mode of someone like Weezer or something. But when I really started to listen to them over and over with headphones I could hear the talent of Chris Martin. When I really started to listen to Coldplay I was reminded of 1981 when I first heard U2 and wondered how this music was conceived and who these guys were. And perhaps Coldplay is a throwback to early U2 and maybe that's what appeals to me. They don't sound like U2 but there is something there that rocks my boat, so to speak.

Hmmm...SFZ, I may be to blame here.

They make the determinations based on what others who viewed the same item alternately viewed or purchased.

In the past 2 years I've heard some amazing music from groups I never heard of. Kick ass music that would never set foot on the Grammy's and you know what, the Grammy's don't deserve these fine musicians, because that award show turned into a circus of BS celebrity no talents a long, long time ago. Yeah, there are 2-3 exceptions in each show, but is that worth spending 3 hours watching the rest of the crap. iTunes is best!

797 Dustyvet  Sun, Feb 8, 2009 8:25:29pm

I bought a new Lincoln Aviator but had to return it to the dealer the next day because I couldn’t get the dang radio to work. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated, I just didn’t know how to work it. He offered to show me how.

“Nelson,” the salesman said to the radio. The Radio replied, “Ricky or Willie?” “Willie!” he continued and “On The Road Again” began playing from the speakers. Then the salesman said, “Ray Charles!”, and in an instant “Georgia On My Mind” replaced Willie Nelson.

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I’d say, “Beethoven,” I’d get beautiful classical music, and if I said, “Beatles,” I’d get one of their awesome songs.

Yesterday, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car, but I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled, “Ass Holes!” out of frustration.

Immediately the French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand, backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks, with John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on scotch.

But it's funny you mention your husband melting your kettle onto the electric stove.

I just got a new stove, very nice glass top that I really love because it's flat and easy to clean, nothing to take apart and break you fingernails on.

But you need to use pots and pans with a completely flat bottom.

Unfortunately, my hubby's favorite pots and pans are the really junky beat up ones that we have, with bottoms that are all distorted, and he somehow managed to scratch my nice brand new beautiful glass-top.

It's certain breeds of lefty and the extreme right, not all Brits by any means. The website this is posted on is Harry's Place - a British (slightly left wing) site that is very pro-Israel and anti-moonbat. But that's not to deny that there is a big problem here with this sort of thing.

Perhaps IronFist could make some helpful suggestions as to just how to deal with such husbands? LOL!

/that's terrible, reine!

I was a tad upset.
Stoves are not cheap.

Here's what else happened this week: My daughter, week before last, was going too fast around a curve, slipped off the road, hit a sign and broke it, and really messed up her front passenger side fender and the front bumper. She also tore off the passenger-side mirror.

She was not comfortable driving without the mirror, so I was using her car and letting her use mine until we could get the mirror replaced. And while using mine, she failed to notice a car going through an intersection (how?) and ran into it, and now MY car needs repair of passenger side door, front fender, front bumper and hood.

Not been the best two weeks.

Amazon is pretty smart.

But it's funny you mention your husband melting your kettle onto the electric stove.

I just got a new stove, very nice glass top that I really love because it's flat and easy to clean, nothing to take apart and break you fingernails on.

But you need to use pots and pans with a completely flat bottom.

Unfortunately, my hubby's favorite pots and pans are the really junky beat up ones that we have, with bottoms that are all distorted, and he somehow managed to scratch my nice brand new beautiful glass-top.

Oh. Sorry to hear that. :(

Hey Ploome. Check this out:

High-ranking Foreign Office diplomat arrested over anti-Semitic tirade in the gym

A high-ranking diplomat at the Foreign Office has been arrested after allegations that he launched a foul-mouthed anti-Semitic tirade.
Middle East expert Rowan Laxton, 47, was watching TV reports of the Israeli attack on Gaza as he used an exercise bike in a gym.
Stunned staff and gym members allegedly heard him shout: 'F**king Israelis, f**king Jews'. It is alleged he also said Israeli soldiers should be 'wiped off the face of the earth'.....

Mr Laxton, who is still working normally, is head of the South Asia Group at the Foreign Office, on a salary of around £70,000.

He is responsible for all the UK's diplomacy in that area and for briefing Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who is Jewish.

Mr Laxton has worked extensively in the Middle East - he married a Muslim woman in 2000 - and has been deputy ambassador to Afghanistan. ...

My parents warned me about driving safely and not speeding and my car would be my casket if I didn't listen.

Who the fuck wants to be buried in a 63 Corvair? I knew speeding wouldn't cause my sudden demise so it forced me to look our for the other assholes on the road.

I never had problems with accidents when driving fast. It was when I am driving slow and keeping in one lane that I had my one wreck in over 20 years.
Stay alert, don't use the telephone, think about where all the other cars are and how fast they are going, the weather, the condition of the car and tires, the car's abilities and such and you won't have problems with wrecks.

Thankfully Texas law is that the speed limit is usually whatever is "safe and prudent" and not the posted speed limit which the statutes say is only a guideline. Posted speeds at school zones and roadwork areas are the actual legal limits in Texas.

"In a post worthy of entry for Private Eye magazine’s ‘Order of the Brown Nose’, today we find the Green Arrow extolling the virtues of the Glorious Leader:

Let us take us an example of the principles and integrity of the British National Party, its Chairman, Nick Griffin.

Highly intelligent, charismatic and with a political vision not seen since Enoch Powell. Had this man wished he could have joined ANY political party and rocketed to the top. Being in politics now for over three decades he would most certainly have been a Cabinet Minister if not Prime Minister and earned a fortune along the way.

But he did not join the “establishment“. He knew what was being done to Our Country was wrong and he chose the side of right and truth. And in doing so he spurned wealth and chose instead hardship, the daily risk of death and constant vilification by the enemies of the people.

I think the "safe and prudent" refers to driving conditions at that time. If the speed limit is 70 and you're driving 70 when it's foggy you could get a ticket. I won't want to tell a DPS officer that my 85 mph was safe and prudent while driving on a clear day with no one else on the road. School zone and construction areas are strictly enforced....double.

I don't think it will ever come to that. Most people are too aware of the history of the Jews in Europe to contemplate supporting that sort of persecution. Still, the antics of the left and far right can make life unpleasant for those living here, no doubt about that.

re: #938 SanFranciscoZionist

I just will not use glue traps. I've seen mice stuck in them, and they're horrifying. I need to kill something, I feel obligated to kill it quickly and as mercifully as I can.

Check your traps often and then end the critter's suffering. The old wire and spring traps aren't so good, but they are deadly. Catch and release traps merely rotate the problem if you don't kill the mouse once caught. Cats seem to be the best mouse trap, but they are hardly humane—they'll toy with a mouse for ages if they can.

With all due respect to your daughter (and mine), I do wonder how any of us survive our teenage years. :-)

I wonder how parents survive their kids' teenage years.

re: #951 Iron Fist

Someday, maybe, if I'm drunk enough, I'll relate to you my lovely teen years. I turn 40 this year (and it is freaking me out). I never had any expectation that I'd actually live this long.

I always thought I'd be dead by about 23. I did enough stupid stuff—I tried to kill myself off.

re: #945 Jimmah

I hope that it never will come to that..I have spent quite a lot of time in London, and never, ever had a problem, but what is happening now hurts. But it is not just the UK...it is everywhere, the USA included..it seems like a pandemic of Jew hate unlike anything since since the 1930's....and also the re-establishment of Israel over 60 years ago factors into it.

Young man, kwit yer belly aching! I was 71 on Inauguration Day, damn it, but considering the alternative?

I think that the fact The One was being inaugurated bothered me far more than turning 71.

If the speed limit is 70 and you are driving 50 in fog, you can get and may deserve a ticket for driving too fast for conditions. On that same road, if the weather is clear and your car is well-maintained and the road is clogged with cars going 35, you may still deserve a ticket for driving 50 in a 70mph zone. Arguing "safe and prudent" is best done before a judge, not a DPS trooper. And if you have an aversion to wasting a day or two trying to take care of a ticket like I do, regardless of guilt or innocence, don't drive too fast.

Secretary of the Arts?

WTF

Is this true? This is the worst idea ever. We do not need anymore Commissars in the U.S. government.

If it were up to me, the U.S. would not be funding PBS, NPR, or any other "arts" organization. The arts should live or die on their own fund-raising abilities.

She's married to Elvis Costello by they way.

And incidentally I had the pleasure of relieving myself in a urinal next to Costello at The Fez in NYC once. And no, I didn't look....

You are getting sleepy, sleepyone. Elvis Costello is married to Diana Krall, not Alison Krauss.

Diana Krall is an awesome jazz singer, and Alison Krauss is an awesome blugrass singer and player.

Did everyone email Mssrs. Specter, Snowe and Collins today to let them know how much they appreciate their traitorous decision? I did...lots of juicy expletives. In fact, I did so from Quicken Loans Arena as I waited for the Cavs-Lakers game to end.

Please, please, please...especially people from Pennsylvania and Maine, email these three Judases (even though Olympia's website is, conveniently, temporarily offline for service) to let them know you will do everything in your power to ensure their RINO asses will be shipped the hell out of Washington when their seats are up. This is the most important thing you can do.

Welcome. How did he get in? Stupidity, salesmanship and deceit. How deep will it get? Oh, about a trillion dollars deep. And Israel, see ya. I have heard it quite a few times, but this bears repeating. If the Palestinians would lay down their arms there would be peace in the Middle East. If Israel were to lay down its arms it would be wiped off the face of the Earth.

Hopey changey for all!

My singular Grammy memory is the low-cut dress Jennifer Lopez wore to the 2000 event. Low-cut is an understatement.

Here is that "AMAZING DRESS". David Duchovny does a good job forming complete sentences while standing within two feet of her--down, boy!

Oscar's, Grammy's sorry, just another awards show where the moonbats pat each other on the back. With the trash that come out of the west coast and Atlanta I hope that the idiots continue to bitch and moan abt declining sales There were probally more guns in that building than the local division of the LAPD. What's next? Obama presenting pardons to thugs and punks?
