No, really. Is this it? Is this the liberal incarnation of the alpha male? A non-agressive, self aggrandizing wimp that can’t exhibit the slightest athletic ability, or more worrisome, doesn’t understand that he looks the fool. I wonder how these moments play in his head?

Yea, that’s good, oh, right there…nice!
Huh I feel less stabby right now.
It’s like that wienie licker (NTTIATWWT), Beshloss who said Obama was the most intelligent President ever (one day after he was elected), the media class keeps telling Obama, “you’re awesome!” and the dope believes it.
Good post, MJ.

Does anyone know what picture is actually framed near the President in the Oval Office?
Wow, a pic where he doesn’t have his feet up on the desk.
HA! Poor Detroit.
H8ters
And the works of art that Obama selected when he took office — including Norman Rockwell’s “Statue of Liberty” above the Remington bronco buster bronze, Childe Hassam’s “The Avenue in the Rain (Flag Day),” and a Rembrandt Peale painting of George Washington which hangs over fireplace — have been hung back on the newly covered walls.

They are just trying to get Romney to play defense, and to paint him as RICH. I say throw it back at him: “This is the beginning, that will end with Obama raising taxes on the middle class. Nancy Pelosi has suggested as much.”
People don’t understand the federal budget, but they do understand THEIR budget. Plus mentioning Pelosi is always good.
Yesterday – this was good-
“President Obama… is the first president in history to openly campaign for re-election on a platform of higher taxes. He has already raised taxes on millions of Americans, but he won’t stop there. He wants to raise taxes on millions more by taxing small businesses and job creators.”
Car in: Exactly! They are going to call for higher taxes on someone else, so just turn someone else into YOU.
Must read Steyn regarding Derbyshire.

Jay, Obama wants to raise your personal income taxes. He believes that you are not paying your fair share.

That was kind of my point earlier. They want to talk Buffet Rule because they know we’ll say that the revenue is minimal, it’s unfair, it won’t create jobs, etc. Then they’ll talk about Republicans being for the 1%.
Fuck it. Put them back on their heels by saying Buffet is step 1, step 2 is your money, right Obama? Always play offense with Chicago people. They don’t expect it. Ther’re used to being bullies.

Plus I still have a bunch of Connecticut mint, via Ohio, which is coming back nicely in pots.
One of the “stealth” taxes that you won’t hear about is the higher income limit on Social Security taxes this year – it went from $106,800 to $110,100.
BTW, the government considers anything above $110,000 to be “high earnings” – the new law will affect roughly 10 million workers.
So, yeah, Obama – remind us again how the Buffett rule is going to magically cure this country’s budget woes. Seems to me you are hanging your hopes on a fairly small number of people, many of whom are NOT millionaires…..

How deep is your pond? Could you wear waders, or would they fill up with water?
Nah, the lilies are weak. They won’t jump the pots. A year ago we had a really unusual hard freeze for north Texas and they were frozen solid in a block of ice. I’m amazed that they survived and are putting up pads.

Well, I did not really produce some of those music videos I posted either.

To be honest, I don’t actually have a relationship with Aerosmith and did not create that video.
Were 1800 of the 1900 posts on acceptable methods and expectations of killing pantry moths? If not, why not?
OK, let me esplain this to you. You kill pantry moths in the following ways:
1. Food deprivation. Every starchy food in the house must be sealed.
2. Pheremone traps. This kills the males, hopefully before they can breed.
3. The Dishtowel of Death™, which you use to snap them out of the air. (Be careful using the DoD around lighting fixtures — expensive damage may occur.)
Not only did you kill the moths, you killed the fucking blog.
By the way, if you have pest control issues, I will be happy to send you a Dishtowel of Death™, upon receipt of $49.99 in my PayPal account.
This sucks. Where is god? I even put him in the header picture, with the theme tied to the post topic.
Probably watching diety porn or something.
Michael is amazing. Not only did he kill the moths with a rat tailed towel, he also played grab-ass with them before hand, just like high school.
Of course, the $49.99 does not include shipping and handling charges.
I think this may actually be a year when someone can rightfully say “don’t believe the polls”. The left wing media is really going all in already to give an impression the election is already over.
Now, with a D+11 and Republicans only comprising 23% of the respondents in this poll, one should be seeing huge leads for Obama in the head-to-head matchups. Instead, Obama lead Romney by only eight among general-population adults, 51/43

Also, pay attention to the wind direction so the tree does not fall on your house.
Then the break will be an hour.
Unless they’re union. Then it could be two.

——————————–
In the back yard. I just read the code. I need to have a reason for removing the trees. The gal on the phone supplied me with a few. I just think this kind of stuff is funny. My tree is somehow a public interest, and needs to be regulated.
I’ll be very nice, let him know that one of the limbs from this fucking piece of shit tree destroyed my roof and a car last year, and that my wife lives in constant fear that our poor, defenseless vanity dogs might be squished.
The $50 fee for the county guy isn’t so bad.
It’s the $500 you have to pay Scott to burn the stump that really hurts.
That tree is part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor. Take it down.
It could get struck by lightning and burst into flames.
There’s gotta be a more efficient stump-burner than Scott.
I always think about the moment when someone introduced the idea to regulate homeowners trees and WASN’T laughed out of the room.
If I was a county commissioner or a mayor and someone brought up this idea I’d ask for their name and position so I could fire them. Or more accurately, spend 2 years trying to fire them, then give up because it was too difficult.
I’m not sure efficiency was scott’s goal.
I mean, dang, according to Laura, Scott might burn your house down.

Breaking news from PUppy blender:
Contrary to popular perception, a large proportion of obese Americans can and do lose weight, say researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. What’s more, they say, the old tried and true methods of eating less fat and exercising are some of the most effective paths to weight loss success.
Kinda interesting:
Car in – can you tape it? Our kids actually laugh at it from time to time, and Mr. Car in might really like it – the main character runs a sporting goods mega-store (like Cabela’s or Bass Pro Shop).
They even prominently display firearms in the “store” shots, and aren’t afraid to spout conservative talking points.
This reminds me of Dave:
http://tinyurl.com/boax2cv
Carin, substitute “less sugar” for “less fat” and I think they’re onto something.
that’s funny
HAHA!
I didn’t really pay much attention to that. I think a lot of people look for some magic bullet or easy diet … and there simply is no “easy”way. If you like to eat candy bars … well, not eating them is the only way to lose weight and that’s gonna suck for a while.
Carin, I agree.
*hides “bit size” snicker bar wrapper under my key board.
That? Oh.My kids ate that.
The only thing that I hate about “studies” like that one is that they focus on more than one variable, so it’s hard to say what, exactly, led to the weight loss.
I do think that being in a “structured” program will do more to help someone lose weight, if only because they are held accountable. Do the researchers look at everyone who started the programs, or just at the ones who “finished” the programs? If it’s only the latter, then I would imagine that the “results” are somewhat suspect.
In other words, if someone is involved in a supervised exercise/weight loss program and they aren’t losing weight, they might end up getting discouraged and drop out, leaving ONLY those who are losing weight.
If that is the case – and I haven’t looked at the study yet – then they shouldn’t be making that claim.
I’m doing a mud run in May. The guy said it’s 20 obstacles in 3 miles, but that can’t be right.

Is it a Warrior Dash? Those are about that I think. We’ve got one in july. The weekend after Lapeerpalooza.
The guy said it’s 20 obstacles in 3 miles, but that can’t be right.
3 mi X 5,280 ft/mi // 20 obstacles = 1 obstacle every 792 feet (2.64 football fields).
I don’t know much about running; is that “doable”?
Carin – Shut up and go teach your children math!
I have not had any alcohol in 3 weeks, no processed food and salads (with balsamic/lemon/olive oil as dressing) for at LEAST one meal a day.
Don’t know how much weight I’ve lost because I didn’t want to get on the scale and go postal, but I do feel better and my jeans are loose.
Snacking on grape tomatoes, strawberries, blue berries and blackberries (not all at once).
Blood sugar has evidently hit even keel because I’m not hungary at all.
I have one more month left before we leave and I’m motivated like a MOFO.
Mare – Is Witness Protection relocating you again?!
Yes

That’s true.
The stuff I’ve read about dietary fat, though, suggests that MORE fat leads to less “eating” in general, as fat fills you up fairly quickly and keeps you satisfied much longer than carbs do (the body doesn’t break it down as quickly).
And dietary fat is completely burned off by the body – while any excess carbs are stored as body fat.
The theory is – and it seems a very valid one – that eating less fat causes a person to need more food (and more often) in order to get the same feeling of fullness. Unfortunately, most of that is eaten in carb-heavy stuff.
That’s why bacon is the perfect food….. 😛
I agree with that.
I’m cutting back on carbs and increasing my exercise. If I drop below 300 lbs, I’ll let you know.
I have not had any alcohol in 3 weeks

Just triple your coffee intake.

Ahem. Fuck you.
Of course, I’ve passed the point of really caring about losing weight any more – if I can do it while eating the stuff that I love, great. If not, well – I die happy.
I know that my arteries are clean, despite cardiologists lamenting my food choices – and it takes YEARS for plaque to build up in your coronary arteries. If I have a heart attack, it will technically be cardiac arrest, which is an electrical issue. I can’t recall reading anything that talks about what might prevent that – just keep the potassium and sodium levels in the optimum range.
I haven’t gained any weight in the past few years, so I’m not too concerned, and my triglyceride/HDL ratio is comfortably below 4, so I’m at a fairly low risk of developing coronary disease.
I don’t know what it is, but I got recruited into it. I’ve pretty much kissed my life away for the next year.

MJ, what are you talking about?
it’s hard to say what, exactly, led to the weight loss.
Consuming fewer calories than are burned is an absolute guarantee of weight loss.
Howdy diet bloggers.

Dysentary is usually a good weight loss method, too.

That’s because you’re all smart and shit, Clint.

That sucks. We might have more than we need, but I can’t see splitting them up now.
I’ll take Mare’s drink. To be nice.
But Mare’s pants are getting looser, so she has that going for her, GM.
I am unsure about the current state of Cyn’s pants … but based on past photos she’s sent to me, that current state may very well be “missing.”
Wait….you guys wear pants?
Current state of pants… none. And ixsnay ona a otophays!

Try smoking.
Consuming fewer calories than are burned is an absolute guarantee of weight loss.
OTOH, “calories” are measured by setting things on fire in an enclosed space. Your body has never seen a calorie, and doesn’t know what they are. Your body uses a series of cascading, enzymatic reactions to burn, store, and utilize molecules after the mechanical and chemical reactions of digestion. “Calories” as you see it on a nutrition label is a best guess of how much energy you can extract from the food, and your utilization, storage, and consumption of that energy is individual and specific.
Am I the only one who thinks its funny that MJ has to ask what a man looks like?
Pants? Sure. Shirts? Overrated.
I don’t understand what Leon wrote, but I’m sure it was profound.
It totally was.
Your body has never seen a calorie . . .
So, calories are kinda like female orgasms?

You have to watch it until the end.
No! You’re not my real older brother!
Jewstin, I was trying to explain that “calories in->calories out” isn’t wrong, but also isn’t the whole story. Every chemical reaction that occurs in between the twinkie entering your piehole and you using the energy to haul a Diet Dr Pepper to your lips is something with its own set of inefficiencies and cycle rates. Yes, if you reduce overall caloric intake, weight loss will likely result, but not necessarily. Efficiencies can increase, priorities can shift, metabolic signaling can be altered. And the weight you do lose can be weight you’d rather have, like skeletal or even smooth muscle tissue, or bone for that matter.
Oh, gotcha MJ. I thought you gave up drinking for a year.

When I did the South beach diet a couple years ago I did not measure calories but I KNOW I was eating a lot more calories than when I had been regularly eating carbs. I was snacking like crazy, eating tons of meat and basically washing it down with olive oil. But I lost eight pounds in a trice anyway.
Cutting out the insulin reaction is huge. And that kind of blood chemistry change is not accounted for in simple calorie-counting.
Removing helpful doses of nicotine from your metabolism is not accounted for, either. It turns out.

Throw in hormones and you’ve got a circus…..seriously. Women aren’t making that up. And for some of you younger women, you won’t believe that until (and if) it happens to you.
I’m pretty sure I’m done with nicotine. Haven’t had the urge in weeks.
I don’t believe in hormones.

Stuff Jefferson said?
If I ever run 13 miles, it will be because I have a sure thing with Morena Baccarin if I make it to 14, or because the t-rex is still chasing me. Possibly both, in which case my life is fucking awesome.
There is no reason to run that far.

I briefly thought about signing up for the Detroit (full) Marathon this year, because it was only $10 more than the half. I mean,that’s a full 13 miles for only $10.
DEAL, am I right?

Water stations Leon.
My mind just can’t accept it. I’m sorry.
Not JUST water stations. Gatoraid too.
Oh, well that changes everything.
Medals too. For participating.

I’ve heard there are powerlifting competitions where you can win free steak dinners for a year.
I ran a beach race last weekend and ended up going out to breffis with a bunch of people. One of the guys is doing a 50 mile race in May.
I’d never win a powerlifting competition. Do they give you medals for participating?
I’m not doing the Detroit one this year. I’m going to run in Rochester Hills – a half they have there. Plus there is discount to run the Crim (that awesome 10 mile run in FLint) and the Brooksie Way (the rochester hills one).
They’d better have gatoraid, is all I’m saying.
If you need incentive to run in Detroit, how about we drop you off at 8 mile road in the dark. 21 mile road is 13 miles away.

Seriously though, I see the utility in being able to run a few miles. A few miles through obstacles, even more so (though I might avoid that for fear of injury). I don’t see the utility in just running a shitload of miles.

WHat? this goes back to the caveman shit you love. When we used to run and run and run half the day to chase down our meat.
If I were younger, I’d consider a marathon perhaps, but the half is challenging enough -of a run. Instead of further distances, I do want to do the obstacle thing, which I think is more in my wheel house of over all fitness/strength.
