This was Bloomberg…they focused on the economy so they wouldn’t have to address President Obama’s recent successes on national security. Control the dialog, and you control the outcome of the debate.

Vimeo never liked me.

It was a softball night for Romney to make him look good, but he did almost fuck it up when he got into an argument with the cute moderator (not Charlie Rose) over the premise of her question…she was the best part of the debate…had that sexy porn librarian look to her.

Obama won.

Truth be told, it doesn’t matter which of these pathetic people ends up winning the nomination. The American political and media system requires that they be treated as a viable choice for US president and election night will be a nail biter.

Perry is going to try to put the dude who talked him in to running on death row.

You know that water treatment machine technicians can make about 125K per year? Senior members. Top out salary. Specifically those with a NYC contract. They got locked in at union scale but aren’t a union company. Likely a NYC law. Pretty nice. It’s not easy work though and you have to deal with large piece of machinery as well as knowing the vast technical aspects. You can’t fuck around with water treatment.

This one was supposed to have been a debate on economics.

And they can’t talk about Obama’s successes, under any circumstances. It goes against the narrative/mantra that Obama has ‘made everything worse.’

It’s rather pretty around there. The museum which I swept through seemed pretty nice. I liked looking at the old drafting table of the designer for the first church. Got a parking space right in front too. Cost about a buck for 2 hours. Right at the front door.

There are many sides to SLC. However, if you are ever there again—the streets are numbered starting at Temple Square. 100 W is followed by 200 W, etc.

If you need an address that is 123 W 200 N, you go the 200 N (which is a street) and it’s somewhere between 100 W and 200 W on that street. The addresses for downtown Salt Lake are extremely unpoetic.

Sounds like your typical structural engineer. Nah. It’s just men. Some of the best designs were hatched during cocktail hour. Most engineering firms I worked for though would always have casual Fridays. We would either start drinking around noon. Sometimes we’d get beer for evening shifts. I used to work around a lot of draftsman holding a beer from time to time. Worked for an architect that used to love his vino.

Hey, I am a boomer and I’m sick of listening to the blues. It’s just been bastardized and twisted into just another wank-fest for guitarists who want nothing more in the world that to be the fastest guitar player east (or west) of the Mississippi.

In the right hands, the blues is beautiful. In the wrong hands it’s every bit as bad as the worst Motley Crue song ever written.

Yeah. Hey I can play the blues. Been a while since I’ve played but. Anywho. Too much already with the blues. Overexposed. I like the really old original shit though. Up to the 50s. But please. Bonamassa and Clapton bore me to tears.

Motley Crew. Nice if you want a fake rock band.

Little more Garbage. I head the other day there’s a new studio album in the works. As a Madisonian, this cheers me to no end - I was at the first show of the last tour and would love to see them live again.

They should have hung it up years ago. They’re a bad parody of themselves, all rich and fat and trying to be badass.

The only Crue album I ever paid money for was the one when Vince Neil wasn’t in the band and a guy named John Corabi was the lead singer. It’s 100 times better than anything with Neil on it, but it wasn’t the ‘real’ Crue and didn’t sell. So they got Neil back in the band and went back to the same crap they always did.

They annoy me.

Heh. Caught during the debate Romney whined about assets being downgraded by inspectors resulting in fewer loans being handed out.

Doesn’t sound very conservative to me to have government set asset prices in order to facilitate loans for political gains.

Also noticed during the debate the camera always seemed to capture Perry with a dark background.

re: #146 000G

Romney said lots of silly things - that’s his new gimmick as he tries to convince the Tea Partiers that he’s as a solid “conservative”.

Also: $5 that Romney will select Cain to be on the ticket as VP.

re: #149 000G

Both Romney and Huntsman are playing nice with Cain. Are they trying to overcompensate for the long history of Mormons being seen as racists? (Look up the history of Mormonism…)

re: #150 freetoken

Both Romney and Huntsman are playing nice with Cain. Are they trying to overcompensate for the long history of Mormons being seen as racists?

Maybe. Or maybe they know that when being a member of a minority, it often helps to team up with members of other minorities.

Although it’s more likely they want to placate the Tea Party candidate most likely rising to the top (same reason why Bachmann also still gets courted IMHO, e.g. with that softball question from Romney, but Perry still get beaten down, too much of an actual rival figure).

(Look up the history of Mormonism…)

Oh, I know about it. Funny that one of the central themes was the “mark of cain”.

But I also think that a general sense of history provides also with an idea of shit like this when it comes to government persecution of minorities in America.

re: #150 freetoken

Both Romney and Huntsman are playing nice with Cain. Are they trying to overcompensate for the long history of Mormons being seen as racists? (Look up the history of Mormonism…)

yep… the Mormons had, by today’s standards, some ridiculous stuff about non whites. But then, so did the US Constitution. Not trying to exonerate either outdated words, just being contentious in a good way.. :)

I used to live in Sedona, Arizona in 1981, ranch-sitting on a six-acre spread on Oak Creek just below the Cathedral Rocks. That was before the town was overrun by the New Age folks, although they were already present, they had not discovered the marketing concept.

And at the time I was learning to play the banjo and we all loved Hippie Bluegrass, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did a lot to promote that, getting a lot of old country/and bluegrass folks to play on “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” (although Bill Monroe refused to be part of the project)

I left before the draw became irresistible, which was around the mid-80’s. Why is is that vortices center around places that have a perfect climate, astounding scenery and a high concentration of rich, retired milionaires, and not somewhere around a mud flat in Nebraska?

Last I heard, the ranch was parcelled up and has luxury homes built on it.

Although my cabin had elect4ricity (but no flowing water except in the creek) I used to turn off all the lamps, light a few candles and play banjo by them, it made it feel and sound more authentic.

All I know I the ex spent a small fortune at the outlet mall.

At first the area sucked in millionaires, who bought houses in the valley with the breathtaking views and ideal climate, and the weight of all that concentrated money created a vortex to attract a lot of New-Age healers and crystal/talisman dealers who settled there in the mid-80’s.

re: #150 freetoken

Both Romney and Huntsman are playing nice with Cain. Are they trying to overcompensate for the long history of Mormons being seen as racists? (Look up the history of Mormonism…)

I think the entire Republican party is using Cain as their racial steam valve for their anti-Black reputation right now, let alone the time when Mormonism was coming up with idiotic “mark of Cain” bullshit.

It’s not new or unique to Mormonism, though, and predates that sect by generations and generations. It’s one reason starting in the late 1700s we went and formed our own denominations and left the white bigot Christians in the dust.

I just don’t see how the GOP/RNC thinks they’re going to make Obama a one-term president by appealing to 23% of their own electorate. How is that going to win them anything except a loss?

As for Cain and Romney, Cain is only good as a race object for white conservatives, and a stick to beat African-American Obama supporters — at least that’s how he is letting himself be utilized. Romney is really the only person who can give Obama a run for his money but they may have to try Perry + somebody halfway normal as VP. It’s a problem their own bigotries created.

Followup on the story from last week regarding Topeka Kansas city council repealing the law against domestic violence.

They went through with it.

Kansas’ capital city repeals domestic violence law

Topeka’s city council and mayor approved the repeal late Tuesday, saying such cases are better handled by county or state courts.

The vote comes less than a month after the prosecutor in Shawnee County decided to stop pursuing domestic battery cases and other misdemeanors, citing deep cuts to his budget.

Topeka, the largest city in the county, responded by proposing to repeal its domestic violence ordinance so it wouldn’t be forced to pick up the bill for those cases.

So, as of now, neither the county of Shawnee, KS, nor its largest city, Topeka are prosecuting any domestic violence cases.

re: #188 RadicalModerate

That’s the government just giving up. Why would any battered woman call the police on her husband now? Arresting an abuser generally makes them more violent.

So people who get battered should do what, exactly?

Suck it up, apparently. Kansas NOW is calling for more emails and phone calls to Topeka officials. I just did a page on it.

Is Topeka still prosecuting victim-less crimes like marijuana possession, while they ignore the domestic battery?

What about a woman who murders her husband and then says she did it in self-defense, knowing that the state wouldn’t protect her from battery?

So many ways this is dumb.

re: #192 Obdicut

They could take a leaf from Georgia’s plan to use prison inmates as firefighters and start using prison inmates as domestic violence counsellors…

re: #193 ralphieboy

Just jump right to using inmates as police.

A friend of mine had her jaw broken by her (now ex) husband after she had him arrested for battery and he was let out on his own recognizance. Being arrested made him really mad, so he did what he always did, and took it out on her.

This is not something that’s unknown. Cops know about this. That’s why even good cops often get into trouble for threatening abusers to kick their ass if they touch their partners again. It’s also why a lot of women don’t want to press charges in the first place; they know it’ll make the abusers angry, and that the system won’t do enough to stop them.

Topeka just upped the ante on that. If a woman is getting beaten, deciding to call the cops now that they know there’s not even a chance of the guy staying in jail would be a foolish mistake. Better to just take it, and hope he doesn’t go too far this time. Or stick a knife in his eye.

What I love is the naive dunderheads who ask “Why don’t they just leave him?”

Another article with a better grasp of the background:

To save money, Topeka repeals law against misdemeanor domestic battery
[Link: www.kansascity.com…]

It started when Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor announced that a 10 percent budget cut would force him to end his office’s prosecution of misdemeanor cases, almost half of which last year were domestic battery cases.

With that, Taylor stopped prosecuting the cases and left them to the city. But city officials balked at the cost.
…..
Shawnee County prosecutors have handled both misdemeanor and felony domestic violence cases since 2000. City officials say they don’t have the prosecutors, courts, staff, programs or even a jail to suddenly take on the work.

Councilwoman Karen Hiller said earlier Tuesday that it would cost the city $800,000 a year to hire the staff and rent jail space for the new caseload, but only about $200,000 for the county to increase Taylor’s budget enough to resume prosecutions, Hiller said.

This sounds like it’s a fight between the county and the city over who has to pick up the tab for all misdemeanor crimes, half of which are misdemeanor domestic violence issues. The county has been doing it since 2000 and now they want the city to handle them. I tried to find out what constitutes “misdemeanor” domestic violence but the first 3 pages on google only relate to this story.

“Assault is classified by severity, in Kansas the criminal statutes provide for simple assault and aggravated assault.”

re: #196 RogueOne

Yep. It’s a slap-fight over who has to bear the costs, with the losers being the people who get abused.

re: #195 Obdicut

One of my former BiL made the mistake of putting his hands on my sister. He only did it once. Getting arrested only makes bullies mad, the thought of having their corpse found in the weeds puts their predicament in an entirely different light.

More background:

Taylor spoke Friday with The Capital-Journal about how his office would be affected if its 2012 budget — when it is finalized this week by commissioners Vic Miller, Shelly Buhler and Ted Ensley — continues to contain a tentative 10 percent cut from its 2011 budget.

Commissioners voted Thursday to reduce 12 separate county budget line items by 10 percent or more, including cutting the district attorney’s budget for 2012 by 10 percent, or $347,765, from its 2011 amount of $3,477,651.

Commissioners entered Thursday’s meeting needing to cut slightly more than $10 million from the 2012 county budget to avoid raising the county’s property tax mill levy and to end 2012 with the recommended cash carryover of $4.4 million. Commissioners made $4.8 million in tentative cuts Thursday.

Taylor also questioned the priorities commissioners have chosen with the budgets they’ve approved in recent years.

He indicated figures from the county’s website show funding for the county parks and recreation department rose by 78.8 percent from 2004 to 2011, compared to a 34.6 percent increase over that period for the district’s attorney’s office.

Why is it that the lower-taxes-cut-spending automatons always manage to cut spending in the most critical areas?

So really, it’s not Topeka the city that’s to blame as much as those county commissioners.

re: #202 RogueOne

Well, a friend of mine tried to stop his sister getting abused and wound up getting the living shit beaten out of him as well.

A lot of bullies aren’t cowards in the least. They’re just psychotic assholes. And a lot of them are much better than ordinary people at violence.

Vigilantism is no answer.

They’ve chosen more parks instead of more prosecutions. In order to make that work their going to have to decide which misdemeanors are worthy of prosecuting. That means someone is going to be accused of being soft on crime and no politician wants that.

Just as the Anthony Weiner scandal was quieting down, one of the former congressman’s “sextees” has written a tell-all account of their exchanges. The Daily Mail is publishing exclusive excerpts from Traci Nobles’ I Freinded You, which quotes many of the messages Weiner exchanged over a nine-month period with the 35-year-old former cheerleading coach. In several salacious texts, Weiner reportedly complained of his in-laws’ “backwards thinking,” saying his wife’s parents never fully accepted him because of his Jewish background. “They just believe I should be Muslim or convert… it makes for a lot of uncomfortable meetings,” he wrote.

Yikes.

Gulf Drive has had bug issues as well. During their May visit, inspectors discovered 16 live and dead roaches near the prep table, walk in cooler, grill and cookline. The restaurant had roach problems on November 8, 2010 too along with rodent activity, as evidence by approximately 30 dry rodent droppings and a chewed bag of grits.

a little anthrax powder would clear that right up…

One of the reasons I stopped doing restaurant repair work was because it was ruining all my favorite places. My favorite Chinese place asked for a quote to install new stainless inside their walk-in fridge. It was so old the stainless was gone and the only thing left was a wooden floor. When I walked in the wood was so soaked in blood it pooled up around my boots as I stepped around. I never ate there again. Another time I was in a very expensive restaurant right on the circle in Indy. There was a plate cover on the ground under a stainless table I was fixing. When I picked it up to move it there were so many roaches under it they were standing on top of each other.

Iran rejects charge in plot to kill Saudi envoy

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran on Tuesday rejected U.S. claims that Iran was involved in a plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to Washington.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast called the claims a “prefabricated scenario” and a “ridiculous show.”

“These old-fashioned behaviors are based on the long-standing hostile American-Zionist policies and are ridiculous show in line with scenarios to provoke division,” the semiofficial Fars news agency quoted Mehmanparast as saying Tuesday.

…”Designers of such prefabricated scenarios seek to create divisions and help the Zionist regime get of isolation,” Mehmanparast was quoted as saying.
