I’m finally biting the bullet and getting down to work on making the LGF codebase compatible with the upcoming jQuery 2.0. If all I had to worry about was my own Javascript code it wouldn’t be a big deal, but I use several plug-ins written by third parties and those are a lot more difficult to debug.

So in the meantime here’s an open thread with a flashy music video to make it more interesting…

Vice President Launches Audio Series On ‘Being Biden’

Americans who petitioned the White House to give Vice President Joe Biden his own reality TV show may be getting the next-best thing.

The White House on Thursday launched an audio series to give Americans the sense they’re along for the ride for some of Biden’s behind-the-scenes moments.

Dubbed “Being Biden,” the series features photographs of Biden from events that aren’t part of his public schedule. Viewers can listen to Biden narrate the story behind the photos, curated by White House staffers to give the public a look at his life inside the Obama administration.

It’s an idea not terribly far removed from what thousands of Americans requested earlier this year when they signed a White House petition to give the freewheeling, often unscripted vice president a recurring show on C-SPAN — “a glimpse of the lighthearted side of politics even in the midst of contentious and divisive national debates.” The petition didn’t cross the 100,000-name threshold required for a White House response in the time allotted, and it was later removed from the White House website.

Not trying to Godwin the thread (or whatever the Communist equivalent of Godwin is), but that does sound like something a totalitarian dictator would say. And yet, they claim Obama is the eeevul dicktaytor without a trace of irony.

Chick-fil-A Foundation’s Anti-LGBT Giving Nearly Doubled

…despite suggestions by some that the company’s WinShape Foundation had already scaled back its anti-LGBT giving, its newly released annual IRS filings for 2011 indicate nothing of the sort.

Most of the WinShape’s anti-LGBT giving in previous years went to groups like the Marriage & Family Foundation ($1,188,380 in 2010), the Fellowship Of Christian Athletes ($480,000 in 2010), and the National Christian Foundation ($247,500). Additionally, the group made small donations to the “ex-gay” group Exodus International ($1,000) and the hate group Family Research Council ($1,000).

In 2011, the group actually gave even more to anti-LGBT causes. Its contribution to the Marriage & Family Foundation jumped to $2,896,438 and it gave the same amount to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and National Christian Foundation as it had in 2010. In total, the anti-LGBT spending exceeded $3.6 million — almost double the $1.9 million from the year before.

Jindal unveils bold new “Fuck the Poor” tax plan

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) introduced a plan today that would axe the state’s corporate and personal income taxes, replacing them instead with an increase in the sales tax. Jindal had promised the total elimination of income taxes during his State of the State address in January, and despite studies showing that it such a change would directly benefit the rich at the expense of the poor, he has followed through on the plan.

Jindal said his tax reform would be revenue neutral, and the sales tax would be increased to 5.88 percent. Louisianans would still pay their local sales taxes as well, meaning some residents would face double-digit sales tax rates after Jindal’s reform, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports:

The planned increase in the sales tax would raise the current rate by about 47 percent and would come on top of local sales taxes. Residents in New Orleans, for example, would pay a combined rate of about 11 percent under the plan.

Louisiana already has one of the highest combined average state and local sales tax rate in the country and the increase would put the state at the top of that list, according to information from The Tax Foundation.

The poorest Louisianans already pay more of their income in taxes than the richest, according to a study from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy that shows the bottom 20 percent of the state’s residents pay 10.6 percent of their income in taxes compared to just 4.6 percent for the top 1 percent of residents. Jindal’s plan would only skew the tax code further against the poor and middle class, since it would grant tax cuts to the rich while raising taxes on 80 percent of the state’s residents, according to ITEP.

Reuters employee busted

Reuters social media editor charged with conspiring with hackers

The deputy social media editor of Reuters news service was charged with conspiracy for leaking information about one of his former employers to Anonymous, the hacking collective.

The Department of Justice accuses Matthew Keys, 26, of providing Anonymous with log-in information to a computer server belonging to the Tribune Company in December 2010. Keys worked for Sacramento-based television station KTXL FOX 40, owned by the Tribune Company, as a web producer until he was terminated in October 2010.

Egyptian media report blames Hamas for 2012 killing of 16 soldiers near Gaza border

CAIRO — A report by a state-owned Egyptian weekly magazine on Thursday accused the Palestinian militant movement Hamas of carrying out one of the bloodiest attacks against the Egyptian army in years — the killing 16 of soldiers in the Sinai Peninsula in August 2012. Hamas’ military wing angrily accused Egypt’s state media of spreading “flagrant lies.”

It was not possible to verify contents of the report. The magazine Al-Ahram al-Araby is closely connected to security agencies, and Egypt’s military currently has a strained relationship with President Mohammed Morsi, who hails from the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood group from which Hamas is an offshoot.

Military officers have been issuing thinly veiled warnings that the armed forces might return to the politics. Morsi’s government has been shaken by a bitter conflict with the opposition and by economic shortages, but security in the Sinai is a particular sensitivity. After the August attack, Morsi sacked a number of top military and intelligence chiefs.

Being an informed centrist in this political climate is much harder to understand than apathy due to complete cluelessness. The agenda of the GOP is clear. One can be for it, or against it, but neutrality seems implausible.

The DC Kabuki plays may be a different matter than genuine centrism. The conclusion (further corporatism) is often fixed. The only remain variable is the sequence of bipartisan posturings that will get us there.

re: #34 Targetpractice

So what Morris is saying is that, if they want to win back the women’s vote, they need to become Democrats.

Moving on to the budget wars, Morris explained that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) was wrong to focus on balancing the budget by 2023, the main selling point of his latest budget released this week.

“Only about 5 to 7 percent of his total cuts come from the Medicare program,” Morris said. “Why mess with those programs? Why lose 10 years of elections because of those programs.”

“So we don’t get to zero,” Morris continued. “So we don’t balance the budget. Who cares if we have $100 billion deficit? Or $120 [billion]. The important point is what’s the ratio between the deficit and our economy.”

That ratio is in fact the focus of budget being crafted by Senate Democrats.

The Egyptian army continued destroying tunnels from Gaza over the past few days with sources reporting that larger numbers of army forces have moved to the border region, according to a report on the Palestine News Network website. The website says that witnesses confirm these reports and that there are indeed large-scale ongoing military operations underway on the Egypt-Gaza border.

TOO MUCH REGULATION

Prior to 1900, there was no regulation in the United States on the usage of food colors in processed foods. Many of the colors were toxic, and their overuse often resulted in food poisoning.

…

1. In 1920, Frederick Accum mentioned the fate of a woman who habitually ate pickles colored green with copper sulfate while at her hairdresser’s and later became ill and died.

2. Cheese colored with vermillion (HgS) and red lead (Pb3O4) also caused several cases of food poisoning.

3. In a Manchester tea shop, stock of copper arsenite, lead chromate, and indigo were found on hand to color used tea leaves for resale.

4. Because of the lack of synthetic dyes, candies were generally colored with mineral pigments. An analysis of 100 samples of candy revealed that 59 contained lead chromate, 12 red lead, 6 vermillion, and 4 white lead (basic lead carbonate).

5. In Boston, 46% of the candy sampled in the year 1880 contained one or more mineral pigments. The primary pigment found was lead chromate.

6. In 1860, a caterer who wished to have a green pudding at a public dinner asked a druggist to provide a color, The copper arsenite he received and used caused two deaths.

7. In London around 1900, the addition of yellow coloring to milk was so common that housewives refused to buy uncolored milk, thinking it had been adulterated. The yellow tint was commonly added to prevent detection of skimmed or watered milk. It was not until 1925 that British law prohibited the coloring of milk.

No, the biggest assumption is that the free market will fill the void left by government regulation with its own testing and its own regulation. That companies will self-regulate and those that don’t and get caught will suffer. This didn’t work during the days of snake oil salesmen, it won’t work now.

that’s it alright

The Heron or Egret is symbolic in many cultures.

In Egypt the Heron is honored as the creator of light. A double headed Heron in Egypt is symbolic of prosperity.

As a Chinese symbol the Heron represents strength, purity, patience and long life.

In Africa, the Heron was thought to communicate with the Gods.

Most Native American tribes took note of the heron’s inquisitiveness, curiosity and determination. As such this set the heron as a symbol of wisdom in that this creature seemed to have good judgement skills.

Specifically, the Iroquois tribe held the blue heron as a very good omen, a very lucky sign. They recongnized the heron as an expert fisher/hunter. As such, they believed that sighting a heron before a hunt was a sign that the hunt would be a good one.

this one was hunting fried chicken in the parking lot

As a water creature the heron is also a symbol of going with the flow, and working with the elements of Mother nature rather than struggling against her.

The heron is a beautiful creature, exhibiting grace, and noble stature. It’s no wonder the Native Indians and ancients honored the heron throughout the centuries.

‘Trained Marine sniper’ threatened to assassinate California Democrat over gun laws

A man claiming to be a trained Marine sniper threatened to assassinate a California lawmaker if he supported an assault weapons ban, newly unsealed court documents obtained by the San Jose Mercury News reveal.

Everett Fred Basham, 45, was arrested in February after sending a threatening email to Democratic state Sen. Leland Yee. Police uncovered several homemade bombs and firearms, including a .416 Barrett sniper rifle, at his Santa Clara home.

“I have 39 confirmed kills in afganistan [sic],” Basham wrote in his email to Yee. “Don’t make me get to 40.”

His military service has not been confirmed. Police also found fake Army credentials in his home.

TOO MUCH REGULATION

a woman who habitually ate pickles colored green with copper sulfate while at her hairdresser’s and later became ill and died.

“Platinum Blonde Bombshell” Jean Harlow died of head poisoning from the toxic chemicals used to bleach her hair.

Harlow, towheaded as a child, insisted she was a natural blonde, but her stylist knew differently. “I used to bleach her hair and make it ‘platinum blonde,’” Alfred Pagano, hairdresser to the stars, once said. “We used peroxide, ammonia, Clorox, and Lux flakes! Can you believe that?” …Ammonia and Clorox bleach? Actually, no — it’s very hard to believe someone would deliberately put a concoction on someone’s head that mixed ammonia and Clorox bleach. I spoke with a representative at Clorox and confirmed that the main ingredients in Clorox bleach in the 1930’s are the same ingredients in Clorox bleach today — something that, when mixed with ammonia, produces noxious gas, hydrochloric acid, and apparently, a star-worthy shade of blonde. This harsh and painful process, her stylist said, she’d have done weekly (Clorox asked kindly that I remind you NOT to mix Clorox and ammonia, especially not on your head).

I can’t see a heron without the words:

“O pointy birds, pointy pointy,
Anoint my head, anointy-nointy”

coming into my head

I used to live near a park with a tiny pond in it, a young heron took to standing in the middle of it, standing so unnaturally still it looked like a plastic decoy.
Until a sudden jab at the water scared the crap out of any nearby child!

I have a kind of cool heron story from a bike ride I took in Oregon, but it has a sad ending. I have memorial feathers from a Great Blue Heron.

JFC! She and the Gnome have managed to intimidate them into allowing (at least) Her into browbeating them about Muslims and Sharia Law? Is the Gnome next?

I bet this has a direct correlation to the Gnome being invited onto Fischer’s show to spew his and hers anti-muslim rants.

hmmm well i guess this jives with the traditional accounts since they give the cause of death as renal failure

my mother at one point was combining large quanitities of the bleached blonde look (rather strenuous for a dark russian jewish woman), valium, and peppermint schnapps

her liver started acting up and the doctor told her one of the three had to go

she decided on the bleach

Another CPAC racist.
