$1 Million Homeowner Wants Help

This made me so mad, I wanted to vomit:

WSJ: Some Win, Some Lose

It's a slideshow feature from the Wall Street Journal discussing three folks who'll (apparently) miss out on the sweet sweet gubmint cash soon to be handed out to struggling homeowners. The first gentleman stoked my blood pressure so high that I had to leave the room.

The ten-frame slideshow utilizes audio, so make sure you have that capability before clicking.

NOTE: I cannot be held responsible for the damaged keyboards and other possessions which will likely result from your viewing of such pathetic entitlement mentality as is displayed in the slideshow.

I do like Charles' choice of quotes.

The East of Eden version I liked best was the one with Jane Seymour. Film version, that is. The book is best, naturally.

I smell a new thread. Evening folks and welcome to the LNDT.

Watchmen is a pretty good movie; I recently saw it.

Nice write up of Paul Harvey's funeral today.

I need to see Watchmen. Maybe will make a trip out of town Tuesday to see it.

Is it just me or is this overnight thread a little smaller than the others?

I love that mini-series. You can watch it on you tube. I just got finished watching The Thorn Birds again via You tube. I know it is illegal but I was in the mood.

re: #6 Salamantis
Did it follow the Graphic Novel fairly well? Or is it like a lot of these modern remakes and pays no homage to the originating story?

re: #10 Afrocity

I know it is illegal but I was in the mood.

If I had a quarter for every time I woke up in an orange jumpsuit in the county lockup while telling myself that the night before....

An East of Eden quote I've liked is

"Don't you see? . . . The American Standard translation orders men to triumph over sin, and you call sin ignorance. The King James translation makes a promise in 'Thou shalt,' meaning that men will surely triumph over sin. But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—'Thou mayest'—that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open."

How does someone go into acting, yet never considers changing a last name like "Crudup"?

So here's a hypothetical for you:

You walk out the door of your local Blockbuster video, which happens to reside in a strip mall on the not-so-affluent side of town. As you leave, you look down the sidewalk and see a middle-aged man leaving the payday-loan place next door. He and his two school-age kids proceed to climb into a late model, blinged-out, black 'n' chrome Hummer H3.

An appropriate sign for the 0bama era:

I just saw an ad on TV for a place called "Mathnasium". It's a commercial tutoring place focused on helping your kids improve in math.

The ad talks about how great their math grades will be, and how well they will understand math when going through their program. The last thing you hear is their phone number and the phrase, "...located right next to the Payday Loan Center!"

Now, if the kids become really good at math.....

re: #41 TheMatrix31

Wow.....SNL is making fun of Obama?!

Apparently, open season has been declared on 0bama!

An Open-Letter to My Pro-Obama Friends

[...snip...]

Most of you know that I supported neither McCain nor Obama, that I view them as equally opposed to peace and freedom and equally ignorant of sound economic principles. I wasn't going to be happy with the election results no matter who won, so I can at least be glad that some of my friends are happy, and I am.

[...snip...]

So, here are my foreign policy predictions:

At the end of Obama's first four-year term:

1. The US will still have an active military presence in Iraq.
2. The US will have attacked at least one more country that poses no direct threat to us. (I'm not even going to count his early air strikes on Pakistan.)
3. Military spending will have increased.
4. US citizens will be no safer from terrorist attacks. I say this because I believe the (sadly all-too-accurate) perception of the US as an imperialist warmongering nation will persist. I realize this one is open to interpretation. I would just ask you to honestly ask yourselves at the end of these four years whether this is the case.

[...snip...]

By the end of Obama's first term in office:

1. More than 1% of US adults will still be in prison. This number will very likely be even higher than it is today, and the black and Hispanic portion of that population will not have decreased by any significant amount.
2. We will still suffer from the kind of police abuse that is becoming more and more common: military-style raids on unarmed civilians in their homes; the shooting and tasering of unarmed citizens; and police and judicial corruption leading to the jailing of many more innocent people than can be acceptable under any system. The militarization and aggressive behavior of police forces will probably become worse before they get any better. This is another one that is somewhat open to interpretation. I would ask you to rely on your own honest judgement regarding whether you believe things have really changed in this area.
3. "No-Fly" lists will still be in place, and there may even be more restrictions on travel.
4. There will be more restrictions on gun ownership and the right to self-defense.
5. The police tactics and suppression of dissent at the 2012 RNC and DNC conventions will be just as brutal as they were in 2008.
6. Government surveillance of US citizens will continue (remember that bill Obama voted for that gave immunity to the telecoms companies that assisted with this in the past?)

[...snip...]

1. The US will have massive inflation. The dollar will lose at least 50% of its value against most goods and services, and certainly against the goods and services most people use every day. This is a very conservative estimate. It will probably be much worse.
2. Unemployment in the US will be worse than it is now. It will be at least in the double digits.

re: #126 lsuchamps03

Ha, I'd hate to think anyone would commit an act of violence for Manilow, but seriously what's it going to take to keep the appearance of order there. At least the appearance

It took hard men to build America. And it will take hard men to rebuild it. What happens now is the weak men will be shown for what they are. But the strong men will rebuild.

The Army and Life
If a Soldier makes it through Basic and AIT, and into his or her first unit, they will have undergone a transformative process that they likely won’t even recognize until they return to their previous civilian life, either on leave, or, if they are a Reservist, when they are released to their parent unit. While one is in training, or assigned to a unit, the world inhabited is only tangentially related to existence that was once labeled “normal”. When a Soldier goes home, things that bother friends and family will amuse them, or, sometimes, irritate with the pettiness involved. After all, it’s hard to get excited that they’ve run out of someone’s favorite soup of the day when the daily diet has been nothing but MRE’s and sometimes not even that, because the supply truck broke down, or got lost, or orders came to move before they could get to that far. People complaining that they couldn’t possibly drink tap water because “it’s so nasty” really irritate people who have picked pieces of ice up off the ground for moisture, or refilled their canteens with swamp water and hoped the purification tablets really do work.
If a Soldier is one of those who spend a good portion of their career in the field, especially in a Cavalry, Infantry, Armor or Artillery unit, they quickly develop new standards for cleanliness; sleep requirements, and life priorities. 18 days without a shower in 120* weather is uncomfortable, but when the choice is between getting enough sleep to function safely when the next task is due in 5 hours, or spending 2 or more of those precious hours on getting to the shower and back, one racks out in the first reasonable location to be found, bearing in mind, of course, that “reasonable” has precious little to do with soft, warm, dry, or even overly comfortable, and everything to do with security, and a reduced likelihood of getting run over by a moving vehicle, or worse, being woken up early.
Another cleanliness adjustment is dealing with things that need to be cleaned. One hasn’t lived until they have participated in cleaning a shower/latrine facility that is in constant use by thousands of troops. The diet of a field soldier is not conducive to intestinal calm, both from the nature of the rations themselves, and the fact that there’s rarely a sink to wash up before eating. The end results must be experienced to be believed, as should the joy of being on the team that transports the portable toilets from the field site back to the dumpsite and cleans those out for reuse. KP, which, among other things, involves cleaning all the pots, pans, cooking utensils and trays the Soldiers eat on with only water filled trashcans warmed with immersion heaters and scrub brushes while standing on wood pallets in a dirt field is a pleasure I will never forget.

The primary purpose of the Army is to kill people and break things in pursuit of national objectives delineated by the civilian leadership. We are very good at this, and over the years have honed the skills, values and methods that make this possible. One of the first things inculcated into a recruit’s mind is that what matters is the mission. This ethos is expressed most succinctly in the motto, “Mission First, People Always” because, while each Soldier is a valued team member and precious asset, getting the job done comes first. GI’s don’t get to say “I quit” and go home when it gets hard. They embrace the suck and drive on. It has been said that a veteran is someone who at least once in their life wrote a check to the USA and it’s citizens, “payable in any amount up to and including my life”. What few outside the services understand is all to often that price may be extracted for the most trivial of reasons; this is this bond that makes the relationship between all veterans unique, and it is our shared experiences of deprivation and sacrifice that often lead the sheltered amongst the general population to not understand when their delicate sensibilities and overly wrought “concerns” are met with our outspoken derision and often, utter contempt. We are not the same as them, and having been through the fire, we recognize dross when it is attempting to pass itself off as the pure quill.

Not an English teacher, but the use of the plural pronoun "they" does not agree with the singular subject "a Soldier". I'd replace it with "he", which is supposed to be understood to sub for "he or she" when the gender of the subject is indeterminate. Perhaps political correctness has wiped out that commonsense usage?

Otherwise, a very good read, although I'd recommend breaking it up into a few more paragraphs, so it doesn't look so dense on the page.

I think that is the point... sex sells not due to a causal relationship with the product, but because sexual implications limit the prospective buyers' ability to think rationally.

As for why the US doesn't have commercials like that one... probably because when American women get offended they easily speak their mind! However, even today in Japan the female plays a more subservient role (in public life anyway).

OTOH, there are non-misogynistic Japanese TV commercials that would clearly not be allowed in the US due to Victorian prudishness (a better description than "puritanical" I believe.) The display of a naked body in Japan is not necessarily considered offensive, and naked female bodies have shown up on Japanese TV commercials.

re: #247 devnulled

OFFS! A certified copy was released!

re: #247 devnulled

At the risk of annoying anyone, I would like to state my belief that the nirthers should be supported for attempting to fix a glaring legal flaw.

I trust Zombie when Zombie tells us a far removed microfiche is telling of the truth of the matter. I owe much of my knowledge to the efforts of Zombie.

I also trust my common sense that it is insane to spend money to suppress what should be simple information. 0 is spending real money to fight the nirthers.

I believe there is something damaging on the original certificate.

I believe there is MUCH more damaging agenda afoot from 0's administration than what his birth certificate contains.

I do not understand the need to forcefully discredit the nirthers in such a capacity as has been originated here AND from the 0 camp. I really do not understand. It is record that millions has been spent suppressing. A "gotcha" is not that impressive after that fact.

Thanks. Do you have a link to what Zombie is saying on this matter?

It isn't being suppressed it was disproved. It is a whackjob conspiracy theory which when paraded undermines the effect of people using Obama's real flaws against him since hey this guy spouting that socialism nonsence still believes Obama isn't a citizen when it has been proven he is. The Supreme court has reviewed the evidence and found him to be elegible for the Office of president as have a number of lower courts in many states. It is a dead horse stop beatting the thing.
