Alright Lizards.

See you all on Saturday Evening.

Keep cool heads people. It is important.

No treaty is ever an impediment to a cheat.

Democrats everywhere disagree.

Here's some Friday Night Schlock:

Evening lizards...what are we drinking tonight?

Stumbled on the answer everyone's been wondering about: The Obama Witch Doctor pic is a photoshop of a traditional witch doctor from the Tari Highlands in Papua New Guinea, in the South Pacific.

Here's the Obama Photoshop. Notice the precise details of the costume.

Now:

Here is a real Papua New Guinea witch doctor from the Tari Highlands. The details are exactly the same.

Here is a Getty Images photo of a Papua New Guinea witch doctor from the Tari Highlands, with an identifying caption.

Here's another pic of one from a Russian stock image library. Again -- all the details match.

I wasn't able to find the exact jpeg that was the basis of the Photoshop (though I only searched for a few minutes), but at least I cleared up one mystery.

---

Also, what's through the witch doctor's/Obama's nose is a pig's tusk.

Does that count as a bone? I guess so. A tusk is a tooth, and a tooth is a bone.

So I guess one can definitively say he has a bone through his nose, just so long as you concur that a tusk is a bone.

No treaty is ever an impediment to a cheat.

Does "National Guard" count as the military?

Also, needless to say, FDR deployed US military on US soil various times, as did Lincoln (obviously) even in the northern states outside of military conflict zones.

He told our daughter that he would never support her if she went to that school, however.

No, you were right the first time -- it was Eisenhower:

The next day, Woodrow Mann, the Mayor of Little Rock, asked President Eisenhower to send federal troops to enforce integration and protect the nine students. On September 24, the President ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army to Little Rock and federalized the entire 10,000 member Arkansas National Guard, taking it out of the hands of Governor Faubus. The 101st took positions immediately, and the nine students successfully entered the school on the next day, Wednesday, September 25, 1957.

Probably was a smart decision on your hubby's part. The brainwashing there is intense, especially these days. (Unless you are in science, engineering, or business, which are still all top-ten nationwide quality departments.) Most of the rest, however -- pure moonbat indoctrination, from day one.

I thought there was a growing conservative faction there.

Looks like it's been a mess. We're lucky we missed most of it. You guys goin' out, and here I am just waking up from a nap. My sleeping schedule is off the rails!

I think there is -- among the students. (Those few who can see through the barrage of craziness.) But the faculty -- a lost cause.

Goodnight, dear lizards. Please play nicely & do NOT let the ban stick have reason to get you. {Lizardim}

re: #43 zombie

They were at Berkeley without bullets, because of the Kent State thing. Lots of those Marines got hurt from flying LP's, potatoes with nails, etc. Those were our days.

Daughter got a BS in business so maybe she would have done okay there but she is a musician at heart and a republican so she probably wouldn't have really fit in. She became a cop too. LOL

re: #61 Soona'

re: #65 pink freud

True Colors.

Ah.

re: #13 Render

I'm formulating a theory in my little noggin...

I think intially, 0bama was hoping the Gates/Crowley fiasco would serve as a nice big fat juicy distraction from 0bamacare crashing and burning (courtesey of his own party). But he had to step in it big-time and weigh in on the side of his leftsist petulant whackademic race-baiting ivy-league buddy after admitting he didn't have all the facts. In a way, calling the Cambridge police stupid doesn't really serve as a distraction, since it highlights 0bama's lack of leadership skills and tact, which in turn would make one wonder if he can't get it right on a fairly trivial matter of local concern, what makes people think he can get it right with nationalized healthcare.

So this story about Bush apparently considering 'invading' Buffalo NY with US Troops is another attempt by his MSM enablers to shift the narrative from 0bama screwing the pooch yet again to 'Look How Bad We Had It Under Bush'...

re: #42 Soona'

Boxed wine will do the trick in a pinch!

Ah-- still have to got to the office tomorrow. Ah, life in a recession.

re: #60 Dark_Falcon

Its fallout from the racist photoshopped picture. Iron Fist tried to diminish its racism and after Charles had warned him, he kept on going and got the boot.

I'm not going into any of it.

DF, with all respect, if you get that one all riled up and make this place unpleasant as a result, I'm outta here. I'd just leave him alone.

Fair enough. I'll take my leave then. Hopefully that will keep things calm. I'm tired enough that I'd need to go to bed soon anyways. Goodnight, PF.

I didn't mean for you to leave by any means, DF. I like your company. It's just been a hard day with those types.

You know, after the meltdowns of the past few days, the truth is that we are all prejudiced to some degree. We have to be as we are humans. It's our nature. The trick is knowing our prejudices-- and knowing when to shut up.

The whole issue with the photo brought a lot of those feelings to the surface and that is never a pretty thing.

27 years ago, Kevin Flynn wrote an original video game. It was stolen from him, and his quest for the evidence of theft and the return of the video game program took him deeper into the computer's world than he ever expected.

Today, Kevin himself is missing, and his son's quest to find out what happened will also take him deep into that same world, but that world has evolved in strange new ways over the past decades . . .

I have to admit it. The Democrats were right!...

They told me if I voted for McCain, ... the nation's Hope would deteriorate, and
sure enough there has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index
since the election, reaching a lower point than any time during the Bush
administration.

They told me if I voted for McCain, ...the US would become more deeply embroiled
in Afghanistan, and sure enough tens of thousands of additional troops are
scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan.

They told me if I voted for McCain, ...that the economy would get worse and sure
enough unemployment is approaching 10% with no end in sight.

They told me if I voted for McCain, ...we would see more "crooks" in high ranking
positions in Federal government and sure enough, several recent cabinet nominees
and Senate appointments revealed resumes of scandal, bribery and tax fraud.

They told me if I voted for McCain, ... we would see more "Pork at the trough" in
Federal government and sure enough, 17,500 "Pork Bills" showed up in Congress
in the past three weeks...

They told me if I voted for McCain, ...we would see more deficit spending in DC
and sure enough, Obama has spent more in 30 days than all other Presidents
together in the history of the good ole USA ...

Well I ignored my Democrat friends in November and voted for McCain.
And they were right... All of their predictions have come true

Taking a new hard line that news articles should not turn up on search engines and Web sites without permission, The Associated Press said Thursday that it would add software to each article that shows what limits apply to the rights to use it, and that notifies The A.P. about how the article is used.

Tom Curley, The A.P.’s president and chief executive, said the company’s position was that even minimal use of a news article online required a licensing agreement with the news organization that produced it. In an interview, he specifically cited references that include a headline and a link to an article, a standard practice of search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo, news aggregators and blogs.

Asked if that stance went further than The A.P. had gone before, he said, “That’s right.” The company envisions a campaign that goes far beyond The A.P., a nonprofit corporation. It wants the 1,400 American newspapers that own the company to join the effort and use its software.

“If someone can build multibillion-dollar businesses out of keywords, we can build multihundred-million businesses out of headlines, and we’re going to do that,” Mr. Curley said. The goal, he said, was not to have less use of the news articles, but to be paid for any use.

How to make your site irrelevant in the internet age, by acknowledge subject expert, the Associated Press.

I agree with the article. But I suspect as the new media expands, many of the old wire organizations will go by the wayside. Most are so liberal, that I don't care. This is the true "fairness doctrine".

Re: Drudge's headline per Obama: "Hot Mess" -- no secret I've bashed both Bush presidents, but no one with any integrity or honesty would ever accuse either one of them of not being decent persons who wouldn't wade into a local police matter like Obama has. Lordette, what a buffooon we have for a president. At this point, I'd prefer our first black president over our second. At least when he offered to have a beer with you, you knew that at least *that* was legit.

Yes, most of the 100 year old furniture is nice. …because all the cheap 100 year old furniture ended up breaking, and then ended up in the fireplace.

Here, they eat rodents... and small pets. No disputing they are top of the food chain. They're awesome birds. We have several families of them at our place, and the place next door.

I'd better get going. Busy day tomorrow, running around getting stuff done.

Good night, all!

re: #185 theheat

What a waste this year! The deer have expanded their menu to include nearly everything. Lambs ears?! Phlox? Autumn sedum?! Even oxalis (sp?) - ALL gone. :-( They're even eating the weeds.

Cleome, cockscomb and yucca are all that's left.

re: #191 littleoldlady

We're zones 8-9, though we've seen some extreme temps in the past few years on either end of the spectrum.

I'm growing bananas, some "false" red yucca from Texas, Italian cypress, and I'm trying about four kinds of New Zealand flax (from seed). I'm not one that can be happy growing the normal stuff. I always have to see how far I can push it and keep it all alive. The flax, from seed, is a bitch goddess.

The horses have been on deer patrol. It's the first year all my kinds of iris stood a chance. And they say deer don't eat iris. Bullshit!

re: #205 Soona'

It's sad, because they're losing their native habitat, and moving into the city. Same with lots of other critters. In our area, with all the development going on, these last outposts of forests and trees are becoming more and more saturated with the displaced animals. Our place has become a haven for every displaced creature within miles. I've never seen so many deer, coyotes, eagles - you name it. It's beginning to look like a freakin' zoo here. Pretty soon we'll be charging admission.

Won't horses chew and trample stuff too?

re: #207 littleoldlady

Maybe you need an Irish Wolfhound, or something more formidable? I know from experience JRTs are useless.

The horses have become pretty territorial about the whole thing, and will run the deer down like maniacs. But they're hard as hell to housebreak, and their litterbox is a nightmare.

re: #212 theheat

Plus my neighbors would complain...

re: #211 Soona'

Horses won't bother the iris. They like horse food. But our iris is planted by a pond onthe property, not in the gardens up by the house.

Horses in the yard = another bad idea. Last time I put one in the yard because I was too lazy to mow, he tried to come in the house. He actually was walking up the stairs on the back deck.

Once they get ahold of the remote, they'll hog the television, too.

I think a lot of it is the animals have figured out that it's in the city where all the really tasty food is. Be it a vegetable garden, pet...etc.

They go where the food is, that's for sure. What I've found, is any predator would rather eat chicken - my chickens - than anything they're supposed to eat. I don't give a damn what it says in the textbooks, if they're a predator, they'd rather eat chicken. Rodents, road kill? Hell no, they go straight for the chicken.

In the rural town where I grew up, a guy raised pidgeons as a hobby and their cages were constantly raided by a local bobcat. He tried all sorts of ways to keep it out of the cages, but that bobcat would eventually figure it out. They never did get that bobcat.

I've become sort of a vigilante about all the predators we've acquired. I'm beginning to wonder if bald eagle "tastes just like chicken," if you get my drift. Possums, raccoons, eagles, owls, hawks, coyotes - I'm telling you - it's a dog-eat-dog world out here in the sticks. Per acre, we probably have the most predators of anywhere in the U.S. It's pretty strange, and getting stranger by the moment.

Crows can also form rudimentary tools, like out of wire. A study showed that crows would take a piece of wire, push it into a bottle to bend it to a shape, and use it to fish out a treat. They're a damn smart bird. Pesky, but smart.
