    Interesting angle to the ESPN writer fired for the “Chink in the Armor” comment.

    Interesting video.

    From space, it appears that there are harbors in California that could be commercially valuable. This is useful information.

    It’s California, though. You’d get the port built, and they’d find a smelt or toad that needed saving and shut it down.

    A guy (MCPO?) calls the company and orders their 10 day – 5lb weight loss program. The next day, there’s a knock on the door and standing before him a voluptuous, athletic, 21 year old babe, dressed in nothing but a G-string and a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.The sign reads, ‘If you can catch me, you can have me.’
    Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up the next nine days, and the same thing happens. On the tenth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 5lbs as promised.
    He calls the company and orders their 10 day – 10lb program.
    The next day there’s a knock at the door and standing before him is the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life.
    She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes , a G-string and a sign around her neck that reads, ‘If you catch me, you can have me’.

    Well, he’s out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and despite his best efforts, but no such luck. So for the next nine days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape. Much to his delight on the tenth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 10lbs, as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order their 10 day – 25lb program.
    ‘Are you sure?’ asks the representative on the phone.. ‘This is our most rigorous program.’
    ‘Absolutely,’ he replies, ‘I haven’t felt this good in years.’
    The next day there’s a knock at the door and when he opens it, he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes, a G-String and a sign around his neck that reads,
    ‘If I catch you, you’re mine.’
    He lost 31lbs that week.

    Andy, I don’t know if I can adequately convey the atmosphere (heh) at work right now. A bunch of people were laid off, a bunch more took a buyout or retired, and I have to wonder if I’m a chump for staying. I didn’t sign up to push paper. I didn’t sign up to watch someone else work on the hardware. Thank the good Lord I still have good and meaningful work to do, but it’s more and more obvious that either the bureaucracy has won in terms of make-work for people, or SLS is just really slow getting moving.

    I want to open up an experiment again and say, “Wow, look at that!” I want to see the faces of the kids like the ones involved in the tomato and basil seed experiments when we tell them, there’s no answer in the back of the book, we’re counting on you to observe and tell us what happens. I see on the web, on Youtube, thousands of people coming out to see Discovery fly by, and I KNOW there’s support for exploration out there. I want to see American astronauts flying on American rockets again, dammit.

    Ding, ding, ding. You win a cookie.

    There’s two NASAs. There’s the Muslim outreach part and the part I’m in. There’s a Facebook-like website at work that pisses me off every time I go look at it. Some of it’s reasonable – “hey, I’m looking for this info”, some of it is personal blogs where, no shit, this one woman blogged on how the clouds looked like blowfish (which made me wonder if they were still drug-testing at work). Maybe I’m too left-brained, but I really don’t give a shit about the clouds unless someone is about to fly through them.

    Next week is “stand down for safety day”. I plan on cleaning up my office and my lab and avoiding as much as the bullshit as possible.

    Not much, Revvy. Wife just got back from a 2-day work trip and had to go straight to bed so she could get up at 4 and go back. I told her to blow off the carpool and go in at 10.

    Oso, you are correct. I got into it with one of the climate change buffoons when he said that the early snow last year was due to global warming. I said, “Do you not hear the words that just came out of your mouth? SNOW due to WARMING?!?!”

    Roamy,
    Clouds can be VERY interesting, when you’re above a layer and flying around towering cumulus in the bright sunshine, as if they were pylons on a ski-slope, at 150+mph.
    Especially when you’re looking for a hole to get down through to get on the ground before you run out of gas! Trust me on this!

    I’m ‘Pretty Damn Sure’ that if Wiser, me, or anyone, gave Revvy a ‘Good Hug’, that West would kill them on the spot.
    Not Gonna go there. Wouldn’t be prudent. Not at this juncture.
    Although Revvy is ‘Cute as a Bug’, I would not give her a “real hug”, if West was there.

    Morning tidbit from WSJ:

    One of Mr. Romney’s trickiest challenges will be how to handle Mr. Obama’s, er, veracity. More than any President we’ve seen, this incumbent is willing to say things that aren’t in the area code of the truth. Thus he gives himself credit for the natural gas drilling boom, the deficits are still Mr. Bush’s fault, Mr. Obama has never raised taxes, and “green jobs” in his dream economy are blooming by the millions.

    That’s going to leave a mark.

  177. Comment by Pendejo Grande on April 26, 2012 6:30 am

    In a serious country, with a half assed serious electorate, Romney’s campaign ads would consist of simply contrasting O’s verbiage w the facts. And the race would already be over. But doing so in this unserious country, with this valley girl electorate would be suicidal. Because of….racism. Or something.

    ‘Obama isn’t working’ is the same slogan used by Cameron, although switch Obama for Labour. It was also used by Thatcher in the 80s.

    MJ, near as I can tell, the tactic being employed by the leftist media is to fire up the republican base by painting Romney as a rightwing nutcase. That way, Obama loses and they don’t have to keep defending the indefensible. They’d rather be on the attack anyhow.

    We did that with our cat and we both about pooed the next morning. We couldn’t find him, and an all morning search left us wondering if we were going to see him again (coyotes). I found him after my “one last walk/bike around the neighborhood yelling his name and shaking his food container.”

    He likes other creatures and ventured into a neighbor’s yard, they had a dog and he went right up to him and the dog flipped out.
    Our neighbor said his dog went nuts because his dream of seeing a cat in their yard came true, he had to pull his dog away and stick him in the house. My cat was just hanging out watching him do the yard work.

    The neighbor was doing yard work and out of desperation I asked if he’d seen a cat, and he said, “yes, he’s right here under the bushes.”

    And then I found a bucket full of meth.

    Interesting thought laura. I’m not generally inclined to talk about Smashmorshin (see I can’t even say it) but it seems to me that given the strong feelings around it, it should be regulated to the highest possible degree. Not starting a business, or removing a dead tree from your property, or selling a house, or replacing a window, or business in general.

    The left:

    Your labor needs to be micromanaged, but smashmorshin should be as loose as a Colombian hooker.

    To bury my dog?
    He apologized and said he thought I was doing unpermitted utility work.$500 fine helps the city make up budget shortfalls.

    vmax – Yup – you need a license to drive or to have a dog, you need a permit to do almost anything to improve your living space (assuming the EPA doesn’t stop you). But you can have a few kids and get mo money from the goverment for them without so much as a “by your leave”.

  227. Comment by agiledog on April 26, 2012 10:27 am

    On a different topic – we’ve chosen not to bury our dogs anymore. We have them cremated, and the ashes sealed in nice little teak (or maybe cedar) boxes. We’ll take them with us if/when we move. Freaks out our families, but we don’t care.

    You fuckers need to move to rural America. I’ve sawed down a dead tree, transplanted half a dozen new trees, tilled front and back and sodded front in the last year without even a glance from city, county, state, or federal govt.

    Listen; welfare fraud is so mainstream now, that it’s not even really fraud anymore. We see it all the time, entire neighborhoods full of ablebodied people and no one works. They’re in front of me in line at the grocery store. We see them. It’s so obvious it’s not even fraudulent anymore. This is just how people live.

    And when these folks change the oil in their car? They park over a storm drain and guess where the old oil goes, my friend. And there is nothing- NOTHING any EPA officer will do about it or even notice, inspect, or give the slightest indication that they give a fuck.

    Meanwhile, when I put a non-approved window on my house, on a side that can’t be seen from the street, I get a flyer from the town with an implicit threat of legal action. Because people are walking around in my backyard while I’m at work, looking for shit to start with me.

    And the moment I purchased this business, I got visits from Weights & Measures and Fire Marshall Bill, making sure I have everything safe and fair, because the presumption is that I’m going to cheat somehow, the moment I get the chance.

    This is getting to be so not worth it.

    J’ames, others. The dirty secret of the 47% is, the vast majority of them THINK they are paying income tax. They MUST be, because it’s coming out of their paycheck! In this age of TurboTax, how many filers take the time to actually suss out the taxes withheld, versus the returns, EIC, deductions, etc.

    Something funny:
    http://wendiaarons.com/2012/04/two-suburban-wankers-enter-a-bar.html

    And I know what you mean about welfare fraud – Rebecca will qualify for a lot of stuff when she is older, but she is going to be “competing” with people who consider themselves “disabled” (“I have a hangnail and I can’t work”).

    Dear Lord, the hoops you have to jump through to “qualify” your kids for this stuff, the paperwork you have to fill out, and the things you have to remember – it’s enough to drive you crazy.

    And I’m just enough of a bitch to say to anyone around us who questions “why” we enroll her for this stuff, “I pay my taxes to help people like HER, not some lump who just doesn’t want to have to work for a living”.

    We know a family whose son is completely wheelchair bound who will NEVER be able to do anything on his own, and he doesn’t qualify for ANY of the services that Rebecca does – he’s not in one of the “right” categories…..

    But if you are “indigent”, you have an entire paid staff working on your behalf…..

    The House GOP bill is paid by cutting health care programs Democrats treasure. The Senate Democratic version would force high-earning owners of some privately owned corporations to pay more Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes, violating Republicans’ anti-tax doctrine.

    How can you pay for interest rates on college loans by raising Social Security payroll taxes? They aren’t even related!

  270. Comment by mare on April 26, 2012 2:24 pm

    Lauraw, it’s also pretty bad when we’re actually considering NOT making more money because of the tax implications. Yeah, good idea to tax certain incomes at a higher rate than any one else.

    It’s like people leaving California, you just get sick of being used for liberal idiocy. Seeing scum in line at the grocery store using your money to buy crap pisses me off and they want MORE of my money? Harsh?….too fricking bad.

  271. Comment by daveintexas on April 26, 2012 2:31 pm

    >> How can you pay for interest rates on college loans by raising Social Security payroll taxes? They aren’t even related!

    That’s not the point. The point is these increases in interest rates are being treated as revenues and already allocated into the Continuing Resolution budget lines. They’re being treated just like a tax, and they’ve already planned to spend them, so NOW if you want them to stay the same, you have to find some other way to “pay” for them.

    The phrase “revenue neutral” is one you’ll be hearing more of.

    Never mind the bastards gave themselves power to change the terms of a contract even though the other party has honored the terms. Something that would be illegal for a commercial lender to do.

    The raw power these assholes give themselves is stunning. The federal government has no business involving itself in school loans. Not to mention how they fucked up already and artificially inflated the cost of a college education.

  272. Comment by MJ on April 26, 2012 2:34 pm

    The word “lunatic” appears in at least one spot in the U.S. Code — in Title 1, Chapter 1, which covers rules of construction.

And I don’t think it’s gotten any better. Teen aged chicks would get pregnant left and right. No child support cause the donor was still in school himself. Who’s paying for the food, diapers, doctors etc. I’ve got a pretty good fucking guess. At some point in time the feds will have sucked the productive class dry and there won’t be any money for feeding bastard children and they’ll die in the street. And it’ll be damned difficult for me to find a fuck to give. That’s one reason I’ve invested heavily in home defense firearms.

    That’s pretty gross. I mean, maybe in the first few hours, but six? Savages, the lot of ‘em.

    Last time I had sex with my dead wife, she farted right in the middle of it. It was really gross.

    If I ever holed a 123 yard shot, I would move the tee and declare it a hole in one.

    I’m fresh out of dog face, so supper tonight will be a big lump of snapper, green beans and bacon, and probably fried taters unless I can come up with a pasta something or other.

    Coonjew, having roast and Mash taters and gravy here

  357. Comment by Coonass Jewstin on April 26, 2012 6:13 pm

    Sounds tasty, Dunn. I have a big bit of tongue in the freezer I plan on roasting before too long.

    I need to make a shopping list. My freezer is well stocked, but my fridge is starting to look a little barren.

    I need to find a substitute for noodles. Having a craving for mussels in some spicy tomato broth, with noodles.

    I really enjoy cooking, Mare. It’s not a chore for me. And I love finding new recipes and ingredients to try out.

    Shredded zucchini might work if you don’t cook it too long.

    Hm. That’s a pretty good idea. Yeah, I like my noodles rather toothsome.

  379. Comment by Coonass Jewstin on April 26, 2012 7:16 pm

    Red snapper. It was on sale a while ago so I got some extra to freeze.

    Ha ha ha Jewstin is a smarty. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/low-carb-pasta-substitute/

    And I don’t force Scott to eat what I eat. I made him bread the other day, in fact.
    I’m not 100% on the ‘grains are poison’ bandwagon. People are living pretty long, healthy lives for that to be the case.

    >> What kind of snapper Jew?”

    That is an insidious libel, straight out of “The Protocols of the Elders of Snapper”

    Speaking of snapper, I found snapping turtle. It was $25 a pound! I’ll go after the feral cats first.

  386. Comment by Hotspur on April 26, 2012 7:46 pm

    Oh snap!

  387. Comment by Hotspur on April 26, 2012 7:54 pm

    Just remember, drunk people run stop signs. High people wait for them to turn green.

    $25 a lb?
