Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. I brewed a fresh pot of coffee for ya.
This one really belonged in last week’s HHD, but he was too cute to leave out for another year.
I got a thing about motorcycles. Hawt.
We’ll pretend this one is a redhead for Carin.
A little cowboy in your morning.
Holding up the wall?
And last but not least.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Oh wow! I call dibs on the boy holding the footballs. Something about a man and his football…..BUNK!!!!!
I’m good at pretending. Hubba hubba
Sohos – looking closely at football guy, I don’t think his pants are properly pulled up.
NTTAWWT
Well, looks like Sohos and I have HHD for ourself. Let’s divide them up.
I’ll take 1, 2, and 3, and you can have 4, 5, and 6.
That is a deal!!!!
#6 has ALL of my favorite things going on scruff, light eyes, abs, ass cheek hanging out, arm pit hair, footballs, I LOVE ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!
No chest hair, though. They all seem a bit bare in that department. I’ll pretend #1 has some.
Yeah chest hair is important but not a deal breaker
Yeah, I couldn’t find one with chest hair this morning that didn’t look like a recent lobotomy. Or a duck face. I thought only teenage girls did duck faces.
It’s Ok, Roamy. Sohos and I are in agreement. It’s not a deal breaker.
We’d just like to convince them to stop waxing.
I bet #1 has chest hair, he just wouldn’t take his shirt off to show us.
Work time.
Oh, and Dave, I hope you get out of the hospital today. Sounds like everything went as well as could be expected.
Thanks RFH! It’s gone a little faster than I thought it would, I bet it helps not to be 67.
*has chest hair*
((((((hugs))))))))))) Dave. *scratches nose*
Dave,
How’s the new Hobo-Kicker 2000 working so far?
Heh. *hugs*
Doing good phat, I’m up to 90 degrees bending unassisted, pain levels are reasonable. Gonna be good to go home.
New knee…..not as good as a new baby but preeeeeetty good.
My kids would make me laugh mocking me for calling it a “Kindle Fire” instead of just a Kindle or reader.They said it was like saying “Have you seen my iPhone 4GS.”
Crap!!!!!!! This rain is going to cause me Hell today
*dances out the door with my new Kindle Fire*…I will leave you with words from Shakespeare; As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words
Nicely done, Roamy!

(I had to turn the thermostat down again, but it was worth it…..
Great news, Dave – it’s great that you get to go home today.
It’s always nice to be able to sleep in your own bed, isn’t it?
Roamy, the HHD’s today have beautiful bodies….well done! I’m sure they have great faces too, I just haven’t checked.
From the last post:
Eric Holder…..Calling voter ID a “Poll tax”
Gee, it’s gonna be REALLY awkward when somebody gets around to explaining to Mr. Holder that the Supreme Court just declared Obamacare a “Poll Tax”:

Allen West:
“Self-esteem comes from doing esteemable things. Sitting at home and getting a check from the government is not going to help your self-esteem. What it will do is make you an economic slave to people living in a far, far, distant place,” West said on Sunday.
“He does not want you to have the self-esteem of getting up and earning and having that title of ‘American,’” the congressman said of the president. “He’d rather you be his slave and be economically dependent upon him.”
All teachers should be punched in the face. And of course school districts for eliminating “history” and “civics,” from our schools. This should make all of us want to cry:

I dreamed I was at a game preserve of some kind last night, and it had black panthers running around loose all over the places, and they were breeding in tents just out of site from we tourist types.
Mare, what does this mean?
I can answer that. You’re a fag.
I’d take some liberties with our HHD men. Oh yes, I would.
Veddy nice, Roamy, thank you!
Gotta go with Hotspur here, Clint. That, or something about voter intimidation and fear of rape.
HA! I just watched the vid of John Sununu’s laughter at Andrea Mitchell regarding the outsourcing thing. I almost felt sorry for her. She needed a smarter earpiece.
Dave, I’m so pleased that you might be busting outta there today. You’re not rushing it though, right?
Andrea Mitchell needs to be shot in the face with the rubber dildo. That would be awesome.
When’s Hotspur’s birthday? http://youtu.be/0RjKdcHvfiw
“Andrea Mitchell needs to be shot in the face with the rubber dildo. That would be awesome.”
I agree. Stupid, political hack, bitch.
Dave, I’m so pleased that you might be busting outta there today. You’re not rushing it though, right?
I’m all for rushing out of a hospital. They take shitty care of people. DOn’t feed ‘em right. Bed’s not comfy. As long as you have help at home – or somewhere else – I’m all for getting out ASAP.
Before you catch MRSA or something.

All teachers should be punched in the face.
Not my sister. She taught in a private Lutheran school. Lutheran school teachers should be exempt from the face-punching that is otherwise well deserved.
Yep. You don’t get better at the hospital, you get better at home.
HAHA! Count on me to chip in for Hotspurt’s birthday gift.
My only concern that Dave was getting out too early was that he’d not yet cycled through all the rounds of busty nurses to take care of him.
Priorities, people!
I just finished a gyros grinder. I may need a sack for my head.
No busty nurse is worth it after a few night of crappy sleep, and crappier food.
When I have surgery, I’m checking into a HHD hospital.
“Before you catch MRSA or something.”
My grandmother went to the hospital with a broken hip, she died.

Depends on the “care” she gives you.
I’ve not been eating enough and you’re going to feed me grapes and bon-bons with your strong, strong hands, you say? Oh, well it would be wrong of me to disobey you, nurse Studmuffin. Rawr.

Once again, the avatar expression matches the comment. And it’s not Car in pouting this time.
My grandfather saw so many examples of that he refused to go to the hospital even when he was really sick. He decided he would rather die in the woods so he would go to his hunting cabin instead.

Legally, hospitals do not have the authority to incarcerate you. You can leave any time you want. You don’t have to sign any AMA forms. You can just walk out. If they hassle you, tell them they will be sued for false imprisonment.

Obama would never have the balls to do what Romney did (in similar circumstances), go to the idiot box known as the NAACP and say he’d repeal Obamacare.
Obama = petulant, spoiled child
Romney = experienced, adult
House just passed the measure to repeal Obamacare with 5 Dems crossing over to the dark side.
Hey, would you guys say an extra special prayer for the son and family of a friend of mine?
He’s a little 7-year-old boy named Nathan, he has Down syndrome, and he used to come to playgroups when Rebecca was younger.
Apparently he drowned – I think it might have been earlier today – they were able to revive him, and he is now in a medically-induced coma. They are going to let him rest today and then try and bring him out of it tomorrow.
So far, all of his systems look good, but obviously they aren’t going to know the extent of damage until he is fully awake.
There’s a FB page set up with more information, if any of you are interested – anyone is welcome to view it:

That reminds me, I need help on getting the word out for a friend. VERY SHORT version…..
*she’s a nurse, has done cancer code (dealt with dying) work and other nursing work for 25 years
*neighbor child drowned in pool, the kid is purple, no movement, limp, he’s dead, she tells the father who is holding him stomach up, to turn him over to his stomach and do as much of a Heimlich maneuver as he can do, kid spews out water from mouth and lungs and starts breathing, turns normal color, fully survives
*while my nurse friend is telling husband what to do, wife is holding a phone with a paramedic on the line telling the dad to keep him on his back actually said, “don’t do the Heimlich, don’t do it” After ambulance arrives first thing they do is put him on the board and secure his head and chest…..exactly what would have kept him dead
*long before this incident she was convinced that removing water from lungs before any other treatment was crucial for drowning victims. The protocol for “dead” victims is CPR, it’s stupid but that is the state and national protocol for drowning/dead from drowning victims, their heart has stopped, therefore CPR is next step
*how can I/she best get someone (state of Hawaii, where there are lots of drownings seems uninterested in changing the protocol) to take notice who has clout and can help?
*please remember this during the summer swim months while you are at the beach, lake, stream, pool, whatever
wow, mare, they teach you to roll them over and get the water out in the freakin Scouts, much less paramedic school. Guess more education isn’t always a good thing.
I am a certified rescue diver. James is correct.
Trust me when I say, she went to the highest level she could in Hawaii Department of Health and also Water Safety and got nowhere. Seriously, if your heart has already stopped, the protocol is CPR.
Of course what she did and what you say, Jay and Hotspur, makes complete common sense. Government and bureaucracy are what kills people.
Since she still had an up to date nursing license, had the baby not survived (remember it was already dead), she could have lost EVERYTHING. So she did not take it lightly when she told the father to, “do it!”
Oh, and it goes beyond letting the water out just via gravity (turning the body over), using the Heimlich to actively move the water out is the main issue.
Heh, send them a Boy Scout handbook, with the swimming chapter page folded over.
You also have to reach around in their mouth and throat to see if there is any seaweed or trout.
As someone who has actually used the Heimlich to help someone choking, that shit really works. Make sure you know how, everyone.
It was my wife, in a restaurant. Scared the shit out of me, but just knowing how to do it helped me to step up and do it.
Since we are going to Michigan, do we have to check for lampreys?
Those things are nasty.
Lampreys will only attach to cold blooded animals.
The Heimlich, is there anything it can’t do?
Good on you, Jay!!
Did we ever figure out why Drudge has gone black and white. Is it a statement he’s making and I don’t get it?
If you want to watch an inspirational movie, watch The Way.
Question, 50 Shades Of Grey has been a top seller for weeks/months whatever, is it just porn? Has anyone here read it? What is the appeal?
Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on. . .
Sex apparently sells.
I heard there’s a lot of BDSM in it. I hate that shit.
What is BDSM, sado masochism?
Not interested.
Two bodies, opposite sexes, naked, no gimmicks.
I wonder why, that book, over any others with lots of sex?
Getting tired of Hotbride beating your ass?
I think she is soooooo much cuter before:

Wunderground says the current humidity here is 13%. They’re full of shit.
It was 94F at 8am, and so humid it smelled like low-tide here.
“Those books are nasty. A bunch of moms I know read it horrible.”
Yeah, I can’t figure out the appeal. Why now? Why that book? Crap is crap.

What color is your hair today, Ember?
Hey, Sky! Hows things, sweetie?
What color is your hair today, Ember?
PINK AND PURPLE AND BLUE AND VIOLET! I heart being self-employed.
Nope; it’s funny, Roamy. Just perhaps they needed to add as the first word “Direct”… Hmmm.
Hiya, Sky
Hahahahaha
You rock!
Things are great, Chief.
Getting my business cards set up, working on a bunch of projects, have a few new commissions. I can’t believe that in one day, one month ago, I wanted to kill myself. Now life is SO FUCKING AWESOME. Funny what a difference a month makes …
Heya Sky.
Funny what a difference a month makes …
Remind yourself of that every now and then. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Glad you are still here, girl.
Sounds like a very good difference, Sky. Keep up the good work!

I needed something to watch while I ate dinner. Plus, this keeps me in touch with the young people of today.
What the fuck are you watching, Leon? I’m so glad I don’t have cable any more.
Anybody wanna bet on whether Leon tuned into the ESPYs for slutty athletic women?
Plus, this keeps me in touch with the young people of today.
Why would you want to do that? Just keep them off your lawn!
Sky, I’m watching a show on MTV about people trying to escape the FriendZone with unsuspecting friends of theirs. Women pretty much always succeed, men almost always fail.
It pretty much makes me think cable needs to be cancelled. Not just my cable, all cable.

At what age does one stop being ‘young people’?
Sky, you and me are still young people, just not as young as these people on the show.
Leon, I figured you were addicted to women’s sports on ESPN like softball, volleyball and soccer. (I think they have women’s basketball, but I’m not sure the players are women.)
OMG HE DID IT, that scuzzy dude escaped the Zone!

Scott, kind of a rough afternoon with the pain. I walked around too much when I got home and I paid for it. It’s under control now, but I need to keep my leg elevated and iced for a while.
Also, got a fever. Brought it down with Tylenol but it hasn’t broken. Really hoping this goes away, if it doesn’t I’ll have to go back.
On the drowning stories, I’m no expert but I thought drowning was caused by lots of fluid in the lungs, preventing you from breathing. In which case I think you have to get the fluid out before anything else it helpful.
I mean, it never occurred to me to name my daughter something like Arapahoe.

Bingo, hence the Heimlich.
Sorry you’re feeling punk, Dave…..stupid fever!!

Hey Dave, the fever probably isn’t a staph infection……………..
On the drowning stories, I’m no expert but I thought drowning was caused by lots of fluid in the lungs . . .
Actually, you probably qualify as an expert about falling into water.
Also, got a fever.

You don’t know that for sure.
I’m severely displeased with the fever thing too. That better just be from inflammation.
You don’t know that for sure.
… Batman, it’s not often that you leave me speechless, but this one has left me … speechless …
Don’t mess with fever Dave. That said, I came down with a fever of around 100 after my second surgery and was terribly concerned. Old veteran nurse says “You don’t have a fever, you just had surgery”.
She made me walk it off and rewarded me with a sleeping pill. I woke up feeling fine.
Fevers: Do Not Fuck With Them.
It’s a rule or a code or an edict of some sort; I don’t make this shit up willy-nilly ya know.
You should listen to Scott; he’s pre-med.
Awright. Sounds like everyone has lecturing Dave well in hand. I have to go clean up my mess from my newest project, then get dressed to go meet up with The Ex to discuss the paperwork (fun!). I will see you later, my fine Hostage friends.
Everyone is pre-med.
Except for those who are post-med……
Dave, you’ve always been hot.
Dave just needs to fall into the Chesapeake Bay to cool off.
Yeah, I know. I overdid it today. It actually broke with the tylenol so the nurse said “see how it is tomorrow.” If it goes about 102 and you can’t get it down, come back.
I feel better now. Not quite ready for a tacklehug, but SOON.
Of course, Dave could fall into his own pool, but his water temp is currently around 87°, so that won’t help much.
I has to stay away from the pool for weeks until my wound heals completely. I have a special bandage on it though that lets me shower.
Man it is so nice outside tonight. 80 degrees. More rain in the forecast.. July may turn out to be more pleasant than June was, which is unheard of.
Did anybody threaten to reveal anybody else’s secret identity today?
Hey, do any of you know where Vman has been? Haven’t seen him around.

Gotcha.
Sean – you are among the few that know my secret identity. Let’s make sure it stays that way, K?
So, no one knows what’s up with Vmax?
Eat chili.
Hang in there, Dave. And make sure you use your fever to full advantage in racking up sympathy points from the wife.
I heard from him last week, “Mare”…but he has commented here since then.
I think Mrs. Dave is going back and forth between “sympathetic” and “so tired of his bullshit” right now.
…
So yeah, the fever thing works to my favor.
I read a review that said that “50 Shades of Grey” was Twilight without the sparkly vampires but with spanking. I think I’ll pass.
I”m a little disappointed to learn Roamy would rather have sparkly vampires than a good spanking.
I’m next on the “50 Shades of Grey” list with my book sharing friends. I’ve heard the same reviews as Roamy.
Dave,
You want to clean-out? Go to the recipe-blog and make a batch of Slublogs “Lentil Soup”.
I don’t know why it’s called “Lentil Soup”, as it has equal parts of lentils, carrots, celery, onions, kielbasa, and potato.
It WILL ‘get things moving’.
Trust me. I never lie…
The “Mexican Chicken Corn Chowda” also works, but I don’t know if that recipe is in there anymore.
I read “Twilight” and won’t do that again. I’ll take the spanking instead.
Was the Mexican Chicken Corn Chowda recipe ever on the site? I can’t find it cached.
I never got around to the Twilight series. I still need to read the last 2 books in Eragon.
Osita, everything the Oatmeal says about Twilight is true. I think I lost IQ points reading it.
I would probably not read Twilight, but I might have to read “Grey”; fact checking only, of course.
I only read the first Twilight book, though. Same goes for Eragon. It wasn’t lame like Twilight, but I just couldn’t get into it.
I don’t recall seeing that recipe on our site, but it sounds yummy.
I read Twilight to see what my daughter was getting into. The book seemed really poorly written, and the characters and their interactions were really trite.
And of course my daughter loves it.
I’m not a big vampire/paranormal reader. I only read a few of the True Blood series before I moved on. I’ve never watched the show though.
I am here Mare
I have been working on my book
Roamy,
I sent again to Cynthia this afternoon. It will probably be up there, soon.
SOON!
I had just called Dan over to watch Lauraw’s link and our 9 yr old monitor went black. I’ll be phone only until Dan can get the best deal on a monitor. FML.

True story. My sister once gifted me a year long subscription to Jet! because she knew I liked airplanes.
Bwahahaha! I am not even gonna denounce myself for laughing.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
XBrad can now mark July off.
IIRC, it came with a lot of free samples of Soul Glow.
Full Black was good – it’s another prequel, but the next one is supposed to be back in present-day.
Funny story, XBrad!
Well, kids, it’s been fun – it’s time for the TiFWs to call it a night.
Sweet dreams, all ♥♥♥
My sister sends me faith based romance novels. I donate them to the church unread. I giggled at XB’s Jet subscription.
She also bought me a copy of one of Dianna Gabaldoon’s bodice ripper novels thinking it was a more… historical Scottish novel.
I was gonna google “Soul Glow”, buuuuut, no.
I’mma make myself a milkshake.
Vanilla chocolate chip.
Who wants one?
Don’t google Sould Glow. Just watch Coming to America again.
Xb, at least there was time travel/ I think Vince Flynn and Brad Thor are a little weak with the “romance” part of their novels. I still love Mitch Rapp though.
Weak on the romance part is a plus for most guys, Oso. If we want porn, we’ll get it the
oldnew fashioned way. Video off the internet.I feel like a milkshake. I’m in.
Xb, then they should just leave it out. I didn’t even care when Rapp’s wife died. She had no personality. Not a fan of Horvath’s private life either. I care more about the dog.
You gotta come get it, Cyn.
You don’t HAVE to show up with bacon and stroganoff, but if you did, I’d give you a hug.

Oso, I’m reading “Atlantic Escorts- British ASW Warships of World War II” right now. How much attention do you think I pay to Rapp, etc.?
Don’t hit ‘blend’ just yet… I’m on my way RIGHT NOW
Oh, I don’t use a blender. I make them by hand. With pure love!
Did you know it was about those type of escorts when you started it?
Heh. Actually, I just had a discussion earlier today with someone about their becoming a qualified escort…
And yeah, I knew. I actually bought the book for its pictures full well knowing what kind of escorts they were.
Do you add the egg in your milkshakes? OMG makes it soooo rich.
Must. Not. Link. Milkshake song.
Egg?
WTF??
It’s not like I’m gonna go to Car in’s and chase a damn chicken around just for your milkshake.
Milk. Ice Cream.
Stir.
I’m a big fan of keepin’ it simple.
CB,
Re: Full Black. Not done yet. I’ll let you know. Lots of folks have ‘Tweeted’ Brad that they really liked it. Not ready to commit, yet.
Milk. Ice Cream.
Stir.
Slacker.
You wanna bitch about how I make YOUR milkshake?
Don’t make me go all Milkshake Nazi on you. No shake for you!
When I gots the teefs pulled, milkshakes and pudding were the only thing I could eat.
And I was pretty fuckin’ ok with that.
You can skip the egg, but no Hershey’s syrup?
Who’s bitching? Double shot of chocolate and I’m good to go.
Hershey’s is optional. I don’t use it, but you’re welcome to.
Well, I don’t use it for milkshakes.
It’s mandatory for some other stuff.
*thud*
You girls are swooning, right?
I mean, it’s not like I killed HHD, is it?
Yeowza
Guys in Iraq were bitching about the quality of the books they had in the GZ. I sent all my early Reacher, Rapp, Horvath, Ludlum, Berry, etc. I had a few submarine non-fiction books that I sent too. I kept my trashy romance novels
I’m being summoned to watch a movie. Later cool kids.
On that note, I think I may go find a bodice-ripper to read and catch some zzz’s. I don’t have any ice cream, or I’d make a milkshake to go with it. (((Squishy hugs))) and good night.
Why did you have submarine non fiction books>
Eh, the temps here have plummeted to 101. I’m going inside to watch some Fairly Legal.
Sarah Shahi is such a cutie.
I used to add eggs to milkshakes … makes ‘em extra yummy … assuming the salmonella doesn’t kill you.
I had submarine non-fiction books because I love Jules Verne and I’m claustrophobic. I find them terrifying and I like scaring myself.
Rewatching the ESPYs, Tebow needs to lose the suit and just wear T-shirts. Or lose the shirt and just be T.
I’ve been aboard a couple nuke subs. They’re cramped, but not claustrophobic.
But if you ever tour the U-505 at the Chicago science museum, remember this, that was one of the big German subs, not the far more numerous Type VIIC.
Just watched a little bit of the second episode of The Newsroom. That’s ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
Oh, I forgot to add derp.
Occupy airport.
wakey wakey
Just watched a little bit of the second episode of The Newsroom. That’s ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
One of my fb friends (very VERY liberal) was going on about that show and how she talks about it all the time to get everyone to watch it.
That was enough for me to know it was crap.
Yeah, one of my LIV friends that likes to talk politics said the show was awesome, so I pretty much knew who it was made for.
Where you been MJ?
Did someone give you a hall pass?
Obama schedule today:
Obama Schedule || Thursday, July 12, 2012
by Keith Koffler on July 11, 2012, 10:05 pm
9:45 am || Receives the Presidential Daily Briefing
that’s it.
Obama schedule yesterday
Noon || Meets with Treasury Secretary Geithner
2:15 pm || Meets with Democratic leaders
The man does NOTHING when he’s in the WH. If he’s not campaigning, he’s taking “me time” to recover. And – the poor dear has taken a LONG weekend before July 4th in Camp david, and then last weekend there as well.
My husband can’t even take off Saturdays. He works 12 hour days.
and this buffoon …
*click click click
Oh, and tuesay, Michelle called Obama “Awesomely phenomenal”
Of course, the reason why he met with Dem leaders yesterday was to tell them to fall in line on the tax issue.
duh.
“Support ME. Fall on the sword.”
Pelosi wanted a million dollar thresh hold. WSJ:
But after the White House meeting, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), who had backed the $1 million amount, said in a Bloomberg TV interview, “We are in complete unity with the president on the $250,000.”
Wow. I disagree with Henninger this morning.
*cries
Boca Raton. We’re in the beginning stages of merging two, two+ billion dollar companies together and it’s going to remarkably well, which makes me highly skeptical and therefore very busy.
We’re going to hear a lot of stories about what a dork this president is, after he’s out of office. From Dems. Don’t tell me he doesn’t piss them off the most, behind the scenes. Some of these Dems that have been around for a long time, you think they enjoy being talked down to by an empty suit who barely inhabits office? I don’ theenk so, Lucy.
*picks up MJ, burps him, sets him back down again*
There ya go buddy. Saw you struggling.
Why wasn’t I told about this hilarious video of Delauro? scroll down for it.
No fever this morning, it stayed boke.
Dave stays home and does the special exercises.
Bwwaaaarrrrpppp!
Thanks.
I’m guessing they’ll put out a slew of articles with the thesis of ‘He’s Too Good For Us,’ from Nov-Jan, but will savage him once he’s safely out of office and they realize that Billy BJ still rakes in the donations—-not Obama.
Dave stays home and does the special exercises.
TMI
Good, Dave!
Have you looked at the staples yet?
They’re covered up with a water resistant dressing now, but I saw em when they changed from the surgical dressing.
Freaaaaaky lookin.
If the staples look freaky, imagine what the knee looks like.
Next time we meet Dave, it’ll be like meeting Sonny from I Robot.
“No fever this morning”
Woo hoo.
Dave stays home and does the special exercises.
No using up all of Mrs. Dave’s lotion.
Everyday is Thursday
What happens to all of the removed body parts?
Baa haaa haaa .
Obama camp sites “Scheduling conflict” for his NAACP no-show.
Quick review: Obama’s schedule for today:
9:45 am || Receives the Presidential Daily Briefing
What happens to all of the removed body parts?
We wondered about that with my dad’s leg.
Watched Car in’s video. What the hell is wrong with these people? Why are they so envious and bitter? Other than their obvious stupidity of course.
>> What happens to all of the removed body parts?
I get to keep those. They’re in a mason jar full of formaldehyde and arthritis.
What happens to all of the removed body parts?
=====
Ask Leon, he has his grandfather’s thighs……………….
Good to hear from Vman.
Dave, good job on knocking that fever out. That’s a deal breaker.
>> That’s a deal breaker.
Now we can together forever. I mean, after we “meet.”
I’d like to think that the “media” will (like MJ says, after the “he’s too good for us” bs) at some point find it irresistible to lay out who this guy is and what he hasn’t done. He’s the worst of the worst and I would think at least a few intrepid “journalists” will want to explore that.
But thinking has gotten me into trouble before.
I can’t wait until political opposition is patriotic again.
Yikes, that basketball player from Baylor….I thought it was a man. The suit without a jacket didn’t help.
Pepe, only metaphorically/genetically.
Good lord I’m up late this morning. Gonna burn some PTO today for sure.
More Gelernter:
If the academics ran America, what would happen?
His response:
Look around you. You would have people graduating from high school and from college who know no American history, who have no concept of what this nation is for and what it achieved, who have no concept of what the nation stands for, why it should inspire them, why they should take care of it, why it’s any different from Denmark or Norway or Portugal. You’d have students graduating with no grasp of literature, having barely glanced at any of the great and deep artistic and spiritual traditions of the West. You’d have students graduating in this country that emerged from the Bible, this biblical republic, who’ve never opened the Bible in their lives and who’ve been taught that it is toxic. You’d have students emerging from colleges like Yale with ideas that families as traditionally constituted are the problem and that the sooner we can do away with them the better, and that heterosexuality is one random choice on a very long and growing list. Look around you and you can see exactly what would happen. It has happened and it’s a tragedy.

Jay, my knee looks like it would if the last thing the surgeons did before they closed me up was shove in a couple of lit M80s, and wrapped it real tight in a towel before they went off.
Then staples, and some ace bandages.
I think they found $20.

You should have gone with the Reg.
The guy’s name is Gelernter and he’s an educator? I’m pretty sure that’s the german-language equivalent of being named Teacher and choosing that for a career.
When a town goes bankrupt, what don’t they have to pay out? Anyone know? I don’t get it. They still pay their stupid high cost insurance for retiree’s but don’t pay business they owe?
No way, you need a long extension cord for that thing.
Yea, but does your new knee have a bottle opener? I think not.
If it’s reorganization, a bankruptcy court decides who are the secured and insecured creditors, and distributes funds on behalf of the city. They take over all finances.
A liquidation, the city would cease as a going concern, and the court would take over until a new corrupt government could be formed.
Thanks, Mr. Dave.
At Drudge, “some cities may cease to exist.” huh? Incorporated with other towns? No mayor? No government? No wages? Good.
Yes, they can also be absorbed by counties, which has happened to small towns many times, but nothing as large as these two
How stupid is Pelosi? This stupid:
On Romney’s speech at the NAACP
“I think it was a calculated move on his part to get booed at the NAACP convention,” she told Bloomberg TV.
She is so effen stupid, mare.
Gaa.
Of course, she’s just echoing what other have said.
daily kos too.
“I think it was a calculated move on his part to get booed at the NAACP convention,”
Well, it did make me more likely to vote for him, and more likely to see the NAACP as racists. If that was Romney’s calculated intent, he’s a soopergenius that should be president.
that’s the meme, he’s a racist and a race baiter.
expect to hear it repeated endlessly today by the media and lefist pundits but then I repeat myself
“If that was Romney’s calculated intent, he’s a soopergenius that should be president.”
Evidently, Leon.
This is truly crazy. Everything in this country is upside down. It’s embarrassing to me that so many Americans have lost their minds to political ideology.
If the NAACP didn’t want to hear his views, why the fuck did they invite him to speak?
Fucking racist filth.
Every time I heard the story of Romney’s speech, the boos got longer, and the cheers shorter.
This morning, the cheers completely disappeared. Dave on Morphine is 100% right, look for Racist, Rinse, Repeat today.
I really don’t think the booing is a big deal. The NAACP is comprised of he farthest-left wing and most politically active members of a leftish voting block. *Of course* this would happen if he mentioned repealing their bff’s signature accomplishment.
I think the kind of spontaneous crowd-booing that happens when Biden or Obama show up someplace unexpected is much more meaningful!
I’ve got to go with Hotspur here. The NAACP wanted him there for headlines to make him look badly. It’s ridiculous. The NAACP are scum and that organization has been crap for years. He shouldn’t have gone, it gives them legitimacy which they DO NOT deserve.
Dave is tired and sleeping now. I get tuckered out fast lately
I don’t care if they booed Romney, he’s going to get booed a lot in this Country, it’s the fake, “oh my gosh Romney is racist for giving a speech here” that pisses me off.
Don’t forget, like laura said, it’s the NAA -L- CP. No conservatives allowed.
Rush has been using that for years.
He should have gone, mare, and he should keep going. Obama has never given a speech in front of a crowd more disposed to agree with him than Romney just did. Mitt demonstrated his core beliefs, and his political courage. Everyone with an IQ above a carrot can see that. Even the ones lying about it today over at Daily Kos.
Note, that should read “disagree”, not “agree”. Wow.
Yea, I don’t care about the booing either. This is much ado about nothing – the left trying to score points. They KNOW Obama would never go in front of such a hostile audience. THe closest he comes is when he speaks to the military, but he KNOWS they wouldn’t boo.
Plus, he packs the audience.
A reverend on local radio was there, and said he only got boos about Obamacare, and that he got a standing O as well.
Why do blacks let their pastors do all their talking?
Mare, cheer up dammit. Here, from my email:
“The actual subtext of that speech is ‘what’s good for all Americans will be good for black people, too.’ No race-obsessed-victim-fetishist wants to hear that.
I saw some black commentators say yesterday that even though they disagreed politically with Romney, they appreciated his candor and thought it was courageous of him to not attempt to blow smoke up their asses.
This must be terrifying for the Left.”
I saw a tweet from one of the principals at the NAACP yesterday that encapsulated the same sentiment. Unless you’re a True Believer, and therefore beyond reaching anyway, Romney came off as principled and impressively tough yesterday.
OK, I have to write something and get some work done. Here, hold this for me until I get back. http://is.gd/pTHmgZ
You could substitute “crying” for “lying”. It was a very smart move on his part. Took his message right into the middle of enemy territory, didn’t water it down. That looks very Presidential to voters. Throw in that the left’s boyfriend dissed the NAACP by not showing up, which makes him look weak, and it’s no wonder the left has to overreach and scream “racism” in the face of obviously none.
It’s a desperate crybaby move and I love it.
Dave! I’m glad you’re not hot this morning. But you’re still hawt.
Rawr!
(also thanks me too)
Obama has never given a speech in front of a crowd more disposed to dis-agree with him than Romney just did. Mitt demonstrated his core beliefs, and his political courage.
Double hell yes: Mitt actually seems to have more balls than I originally gave him credit for. Obama would never ever enter enemy territory; heh, he’s even sent in Biden to this camp.
I saw some black commentators say yesterday that even though they disagreed politically with Romney, they appreciated his candor and thought it was courageous of him to not attempt to blow smoke up their asses.
———————————–
I love that he delivered the speech. Why give up any voter for dead if they haven’t clearly heard your message? Now if he pandered…
got a favor to ask, cyn, check your email.
It doesn’t involve lampreys, morphine, or feather boas.
Exactly.
He’s got balls. I like balls.
I can’t fucking wait to hear what Biden says today. My guess he goes with the poll tax, take you back to Jim Crow, etc.
Unless the audience has 24 hour amnesia, Biden is going to look exactly like the hysterical, hyperbolic, hypocritical (Jackie Chiles) fool that he is.
He should have gone in and said he would put gas in their tanks and make their house payments for them. They love that shit.
Well then why the hell would i look, Jay? Pfffft.
(Okay)
Heh, Jackie Chiles.
Took his message right into the middle of enemy territory, didn’t water it down.
Well said, David.
See the video at Uncivil Peasants for an opinion on the speech from a black conservative.
Hotspur, if there’s one good byproduct of the Obama presidency, it is that the accusation of ‘racism!’ has been turned into a punchline. The race hustlers have defanged themselves.
OT: I forgot to mention that I put Chrispy’s Mexican Chicken Corn Chower Recipe at the recipe site. You may now carry on.
Yes, yes, Laura. The word is completely ineffectual now.
Imma thow up a new poat.
>> it is that the accusation of ‘racism!” has been turned into a punchline. The race hustlers have defanged themselves.
Yep. Which might help some of our less than steel spined Republicans stop fearing it so much.
Imma thow up a new poat.
about time. I’ve been waiting all morning for someone to do that.
WHERE’S THE NEW POAT?
*tick tock, hurry up! I have work to avoid.
*Cough*
