Good afternoon, Eastwoods. Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who’s the baddest mother fucker of them all? If you have to ask, you’re going to vote for Obama so fuck off.

I wrote this song for November 7th or late November 6th. It taught me three things: 1. Swedish people are really weird, but smart. They pimp their own shit and aren’t ashamed of it. 2. The bouncing girl at 1:50 is the personification of how I’ll feel if our guy pulls this out. 3. I forgot what three is, but you have to either have a list of three or five things, apparently. A list of two just seems sad, I guess.

Today’s model is a newbie, and from what I can gather, hasn’t really modeled very much. Judging by her expression in the few pictures I could find, she either doesn’t like it, or has no idea that someone is taking her picture. She is from the Czech Republic, tips the scales at 21 years old, and scored an amazing 34G in the long jump. Please welcome BBF virgin, Lena Hruskova!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are probably some really cool things that happened on this day in history, but I’m feeling kind of lazy and I have a shitload of work to do today, so this is all you hosefuckers get. I present to you…..links of stoopid!!!!!!
1. The term ‘Romnesia’ makes its entrance into the political lexicon.
2. Sandra Fluke gives a speech to ones of people in a grocery store parking lot. Promptly blames conservatives for her failure. Again. (NSFWish)
3. Bullshitter in chief calls his opponent a bullshitter, but uses a six year old as cover.
4. Left to right: Obama/Biden; Romney/Ryan.
5. Shocka! Chris Matthews calls the right a bunch of racists.
6. The War on Women™ makes one final, desperate, attempt to be relevant.
7. MSNBC attempting to pull Dumb and Dumber over the line.
8. Trying to explain to someone that Obummer might lose.
9. The strategy that is working.
10. Home stretch after a frightening ride. Let’s land this thing.

She’s awfully dark for a Czech girl. I prefer my Eastern Europeans to be pale as milk and have sexy accents that make me worry they are secretly Russian agents.
Still, I approve.
Gravity is already doing a number on her. Poor thing.

Without rewards there will be no risks. This is one way that civilizations die.
No leon, they really really think that ‘it’s not right that people can have that kind of money’.
So the question is, if government can dictate how much one can make, who gets what remains of anyone’s profit after gubmint gives them what they think is adequate compensation.
Oh no, it’s not ignorance. It’s more dangerous/nefarious than plain ignorance. It’s envy and contempt and resentment.
This is one way that civilizations die.
They don’t care. Tools like my parents do not care (or see?) if their political betters and cronies take it all. Which I can’t figure out why they can’t see this. I know they aren’t that stupid to think ‘all profits’ will be evenly distributed amongst the peasants.
Tiger Woods has no skills other than hitting a ball with a stick and getting it more-or-less where he wants it. He’s a billionaire and should be poor.
What I just wrote, right there, makes more sense than that executives should not be compensated with whatever the market will bear. Tiger creates fewer positive externalities than the average hedge fund manager. I’m not saying that such a thing is a good way to gauge compensation, just making a point that their envy is meaningless and ill-founded.
And with that, it’s time to go move heavy things.
Something no one can do for me, to achieve something for which no one can yet tax me.
Hello Bewbs. And Rich.

Yeah, lets skewer a good man, who doesn’t f*ck the taxpayer in such blatant way, the stupid fool. All I hear whenever I have the local channel on are Claire ads going after her opponent and how she is such a moderate independent and China is bullying us Missourians. Not one MO media outlet is reporting on any of her fleecings of the treasury, other than Dana Loesch.
All of this corrupt red meat, and the RNC is nowhere to be found.
Ok, tough one, I’m going with the jeans and white shirt pic for the win, for gravity reasons.

Just listened to Friday’s Coffee and Markets podcast. No matter who is elected we are never going to get out of this slump. A VAT is coming, or some other big consumption tax, in addition to the income tax. The entitlement state requires it to keep the money going. This will be the last generation to prosper more than its predecessor.
Oh, and military personnel were ordered not to fire on mortar positions in Benghazi during the attack. Just ordinary treason from the White House.

WTF is wrong with DRUDGE??
CIA being denied support during the attack 3 times?? This is huge. For people who aren’t constantly thinking about losing their virginity to Obama.
Just saw this in the sidebar at AoSHQ:
President Obama dropped by “The Tonight Show” to chat up Jay Leno on Wednesday as part of his two-day “campaign extravaganza.” Perhaps it’s just two days because counting higher is a bit of a challenge?
Leno asked the president a viewer’s question about what subjects he struggles with when he helps his daughters with homework. ”Well, the math stuff I was fine with up until about seventh grade,” explained Obama. “But Malia is now a freshman in high school and — I’m pretty lost.”
So what I’m hearing is that I could’ve gotten in to Columbia U for my undergrad and then Harvard Law School had I just applied. What kind of college graduate can’t fucking figure out how to do post 7th grade math?
A lot.
I see the reason nobody likes mare.

Wow, with the Benghazi news coming out, Hillary and Panetta must be SOOOO proud, right about now.
Yes I do Cyn. I don’t care what the libs want to make of this (nothing) this is a culmination of poor administration policy and choices. It’s also killed Americans. Fing liars.
Somehow 30 pieces of silver will be involved.

A black one. Sorry, but Geraldine Ferraro was correct.
Okay, it’s now on Drudge. Should be in red and should have a siren.
Lots and lots of silver.
Then again, the way that this has played out, I’m guessing that we’ll learn that Hilly and Panetta did in fact approve of assistance and that their order was countermanded.
I have a post graduate degree and not using post 7th grade math for 40 years…I couldn’t do a bit of it. I used statistics quite a bit but rarely anything else.
I get the feeling that FNC, as well as a few other news outlets who haven’t had O’s balls bumping their chin for the last 4 years, are slowly dribbling out damning evidence on a daily basis. Rather than dumping it all at once and letting the story die by 11/6. And I’m okay with that.
Now, on the other hand, I’m not the President of the United States and I haven’t wallowed in the description of myself as, “the most intelligent person ever elected President.”*

I was an English major and I could help the kids with their math up until 11th grade, no problem. After that, I needed a refresher, and figured it was better that they go to their teacher.
But, then, I didn’t even go to Harvard.
Then again, the way that this has played out, I’m guessing that we’ll learn that Hilly and Panetta did in fact approve of assistance and that their order was countermanded.

My guess is that they couldn’t get a decision. Obama has a really bad habit of sleeping on things, or deferring judgement to others.

Bullshit, mare. At the very least you could look at some sample problems and figure it out. Or find a problem that’s been answered and reverse engineer it. But it ain’t cool in the ghetto and shit to admit that you can help your kids. And shit.

I doubt it but if true, they should have done what was right, not how they would be perceived via their comrades of the ‘party’.
Hillary is just as soulless as Barky. If she has the goods on that asshole and is holding on to it because she is also a doormat to her ‘party’, f*ck her. She needs to go down twice as hard.

I guess I don’t understand the situation as it is today. Wouldn’t anyone make the call to support Americans under attack in Libya?
Maybe it fits with the supposed ‘courage’ displayed by making the call to assassinate bin Laden. Anyone would have done that, but for some strange reason the left sees it as truly heroic.
I got through college with only one math class. Of course, now it’s the basis for everything I do.
I managed to get a Master’s in Math without ever taking a formal stats course. I regret this.
Annnnnd pumapac are still standing with the fatass doormat.

Or is it both?
The son had to minor in math. The husband wishes he did.
Where is Patreus in all of this? Is he the head of the CIA? Why is he hiding?
Everyone in my family (immediate) is exceptional in math except myself.
Valerie is a commie bitch, born and raised. Huma’s family belongs to the brotherhood.
Jarrett was born in Iran. Huma is the Muslim Brotherhood disciple
Math makes me itch. If I had proper teaching as a child, there is a good chance I could have done okay with it.

I’ve read in a few places the postulation that there was talk of ‘starting’ a war just before our elections, thus creating the perception 1) that we “needed” to keep O to finish the job, and 2) to show that O has the ballz to get the job done.
mj – i truly believe that he intends to kill as many US servicemen as possible and this is only one leg of the plan. i say this not out of hatred or hyperbole, i think he believes this is part of the price that we (the US) need to have exacted from us for past transgressions.
Where is congress? Are they screaming into the nearest cameras? Are they serving top brass, including the Doormat, to show up and answer questions?
Will the families sue for negligence and manslaughter?
I think we should all start praying now (those that do) that Romney has the character to make the hard decisions the first time, regardless of political fallout.
i truly believe that he intends to kill as many US servicemen as possible and this is only one leg of the plan.
1. the military did not vote for him, they must be paid back
2. create enough issues with morality, then noone will want to serve
3. collapse or serious endangerment to the military
4. mission accomplished
Panetta’s “we didn’t have enough intel” doesn’t make sense based on other operations/drone attacks, etc., that have taken place.
I have no doubt in my mind that he can and will make those Decisions; it’s exactly the thing he’s done his whole life in business: making the tough calls, yet sympathetic to the ramifications.
morality = to do with morale
I guess being the head of the CIA restricts you from saying anything, or should. But I think during Senate hearings we’ve got to get some serious answers. We have the answers, we just want people under oath saying what they know.
I want them saying on any and all cameras, what a piece of shit bastard Barky and Hillary are.
beasn –
2 a. – we have horrific suicide rates w/in the military and no one seems to be addressing this situation.
except of course that d-bag ted turner… and he laughs and thinks it’s a good thing.
As we learned during the Bush admin, being in the CIA doesn’t stop you from leaking damning details when it suits your ends.
You know who is complicit in this shit? ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and NPR, that’s who.

I read a far-fetched piece that speculated that they wanted the ambassador kidnapped so that Obama could do an exchange with Egypt for the blind sheik – OCTOBER SUPRISE – hoping the 1) gain friendship with the new leadership in Egypt and 2) tout how Obama got our ambassador freed.
They had no intention of those marines going in to try to save the day and getting killed, etc. That caused an escalation.
WHen I first read it, I poo-pooed it all as outlandish. But as things have come more and more into light … it seems less kookie. How else to esplain?
In other news, the Decorah eagles are building another nest closer to the trout hatchery. After a new camera was installed in the old one (their son broke the thing that held it up).
Time will tell which one they use.
My thought too, Leon.
Another Afghanistan insider murder of our troops.
I was a believer in staying in Iraq and dumping Afghanistan. History shows Afghanistan is a CF of epic proportions. Topography (?), climate, tribalism, borders, not good.
Father, Charlie Woods, is on the phone with FNC.
You can hear the woe and pain in his voice.
And he forgives those who made the decisions not to help his son and the others.
Just… heartwrenching.
I’d buy it, Carin.
Good day, nutty funsters.
How is anything outlandish anymore?
How else to esplain?
cover up of weapons transfer to known and listed anti-American organizations
There’s also the theory I mentioned reading the other day that there’s drugs and guns being walked and they didn’t want to piss off the wrong people by sending in rescuers.
I thought Patreus blamed the video at the little show hearing they had. I think that if you don’t want the CIA to leak, you shouldn’t blame “intelligence” in 2 debates as to why you did nothing. I could be wrong. Math is hard.
Imagine if this traitor is reelected.
2 a. – we have horrific suicide rates w/in the military and no one seems to be addressing this situation.
except of course that d-bag ted turner…
Are suicides higher now than in previous years? If so, why? Could the insane RoE have anything to do with it? RoE that make them sitting ducks.
Cyn, I read the same story about Ambassador Stevens being our go to guy with the Libyan rebel groups and back channeling arms to the Syrian rebels through arms and drug trading in North Africa.
I’ve mentioned Benghazi to two liberals. . . both had not a clue as to what I was talking about.
Imagine if this traitor is reelected.
No doubt China and Russia will pull something and Obama will kneel.
As much as I feel for the parents of the dead Americans (who received no help when they should have) this is beyond parents finding answers. This is a national disgrace and I’m referring to the cover-up. Military SNAFUS are regular occurrences, however, covering them up via a President, vice President, Secretary of State, Head of Defense, Head of CIA, and as MCPO pointed out the major news networks, well…
If all the parents said they feel their children would want the subject dropped out of patriotism, I’d say, ah, no…..
Symbolic Logic is just math with words. It is sneaky because it makes you think you are taking a philosophy class, only it is MATH!!!!

First of all, you can move NC, FL, VA, and CO into Romney’s column. I’d wager that NH goes to Romney as well. I think NV and MI go to JEF.
Now we’re down to IA, WI, and OH. I could see IA going to the SCOAMF, but WI and OH? No way. Maybe one, but not both. Wisco has an unbelievable Republican turnout machine evidenced by elections from 2009-2012.
In Ohio we need 200K out of 5.6M votes to switch. Not a huge task.
Ouch, George, well played. Well played indeed.
MJ – Make it 400K in Ohio. Cleveland seems to “find” lots of ballots when it is close.
Who is going to ask about Libya? And whom are they going to ask?
Anyone from DoS, DoD, CIA, or the executive branch isn’t going to talk. They’ll give the standard BS about an ongoing investigation, right?
MCPO, it’s almost as if Obama is either disengaged or wanted to pretend terrorism was not taking place. After, responding to it would be an admission that Libya was not a paradise of Obama’s post-modern statecraft.
It’s the Niedermeyer presidency. “All is well!” Of course, Obama isn’t on a horse. We don’t use them anymore.
MJ, the Wisconsin vote is thrown off by the fact that a portion of the people that voted for Walker were put off by the process of recall, and voted to keep the integrity of the system, rather than being fans of Walker and the GOP.

Yes. ROE, I would say, is causing unnecessary stress for our troops and possibly lingers PTSD.
Also – the economy. You come home after serving your country – it makes you unable to “move on” so you wallow, etc.
It sure helps if someone hires you because you served, etc, loves you – you get ahead.

Huge black and while Killer whale? Part of the dolphin family, I believe.
Suicide in the military is a problem. Always has been. Young population, high stressors and a culture that, until recently, was all about “Suck it up, buttercup.”
Miss Julia and her team at UofM are working on this problem with DOD. Some efforts, like USAF and USN, have been quite successful. The Army, not so much.

I understand, but what are we talking here, 3%? If that’s the case then the race is even, and it’s about turning out voters, which the RNC has proven they can do. I dunno. It just makes sense that Walker and Romney are more compatible than Walker/Obama.

Okay, longish rant…
Althouse gets a lost of shit for being wishy-washy and too cute by half about her undecided-ness, but I kind of see her as valuable as one of the few actually moderate political bloggers out there. Kind of a resource if you’re interested in seeing which way the wind is blowing, I guess.
That said, I was reading this post of hers on Camille Paglia, and the following quote sums up everything that’s wrong with her:
What. The. Fucking. Fuck?
I have no idea how old Althouse is, but I’m pretty sure she was born post-New Deal. In her lifetime, the Democrats have been ALL ABOUT statism. Even in the context that she (and Paglia) are talking about this in–i.e. the protest movements of the 60s–it doesn’t make any sense, seeing as how the leaders of that generation were fans of Communism in the first place and ended up in the drivers’ seat of the “mainstream” left anyway.
This is why I think a lot of people don’t understand why Glenn Reynolds (who linked the post in question) is such a fan of hers. Even when she gets to the “right” conclusion, she often gets there by a completely ass-backwards route.

There’s a strange parallel there to Sean’s Althouse commentary.

My brother works for a Ford dealer, so I can get the employee deal on their models.
The local Hyundai dealer is offering a killer deal right now. $3K below invoice plus an additional $1K off for military. That’s a lot less than the employee deal i can get on Ford’s. I’m looking at the Sonata’s.
There’s a strange parallel there to Sean’s Althouse commentary.

Mrs. Phat has a Santa Fe that has been a good vehicle. i was looking at the Elantra’s, but with the incentive’s on the Sonata’s they almost cost the same.
I suspect the $ incentive’s aren’t being offered on the Elantra’s because the 40 mpg is a powerful incentive on it’s own.

So let me get this straight, Paglia is voting for some woman over Obama, and I noticed someone in the comments doing the same. Wasted vote on someone who can’t possibly win, which could hand Barky the election. Oh yeah, that will stop him and his communist agenda/stalinist obamacare, it will.
WTF?
They’re voting for a woman for the same reason many Detroit residents are voting for Obama. There’s a commonality that they value above rational concern for themselves and the country.

Well, beasn, they may not be rhapsodizing over Barry anymore, but OMGBIGBIRDBINDERSFULLOFWOMENTEHRAAAAACISM!!! still applies.

I hate the fact Sen Reid is 3rd in line to the POTUS and rates a motorcade.
Let’s fix that this election.
Also, it’s been burning my ass that we fly Panetta back and forth to Monterrey Bay, Ca every weekend. Seriously. Every fucking weekend.
It’s usually on a C-37 so it’s not horribly ostentatious, but is it to much to ask of the SECDEF to actually fucking live in DC?
I don’t mean to be crude, but why do any of these fucktards need anything beyond a commercial flight?
If one person is so important that they can’t delegate for a few hours, you’re doing it wrong.
Is it too much to ask of the SECDEF to actually f*cking pay for his own air fare on a commercial liner?
If a bunch of people are so important that they can’t telecommunicate in this modern age, they should all be fired.
Reid ain’t even on the succession list. It’s VP (Biden), Speaker of the House (Boehner), president pro tempore of Senate (Inouye)
then various Cabinet secretaries.. AG’s in there somewhere.
No Senate Majority leader tho.
I read an article in the weekly standard a few months back that basically complained about DC roads being closed all of the time for motorcades and what not.
You know, like the Sec of Labor, or Education. I think the point was that just a few years back none of this happened.
All of this crap is unnecessary. If you asked 100 people if they knew who Hilda Solis is, 100 wouldn’t know.
I wish I didn’t know who Hilda Solis was.
Concur, MJ. Motorcade for POTUS, VP and Speaker of the House makes sense (for a continuity of government reason), but other than that, absent a specific threat to an individual, no reason they need a motorcade.
They’re public servants, not prince regents.

Hillary and Bill Clinton, for their whole married life have covered each others asses and not in a good way. Their life is based on a PR exercise. Both of them are scum and its sounds to me, Bill is helping Hillary cover her ass this time around.
Oh. Oh my.
That’s what I was waiting for. One sentence from Petraeus and even the cover-up of the cover-up falls apart.
I just saw that also, Cyn. I’ve been waiting for Patraeus to make some kind of statement. To go down for Obama is the height of stupidity, he’s not worth it.
Hillary and Bill do and say nothing unless it is to their personal or political benefit.
You can’t tell me that all of those guys deferred to the PoS in chief in such a situation. I still hold a bunch of them accountable. The only ones who did the right thing are dead and didn’t have to be if someone in the chain said ‘f*ck Obama and the turd he rode in on’.
I honestly don’t believe anything was done with/in deference; someone had to say ‘belay that order’ and there’s only one person (well two, sort of) who can do that.
According to Bob Beckel, Petraeus, as head of the CIA, is in command of Iraq and Afghanistan. He is in charge, and should be ashamed.
I guess intelligent opposing points of view are hard to come by for Faux News.
If you read the feed, you see that people are being obtuse. They are wondering about who is lying. What the statement said “….no one at any level in the CIA…”
How do they not get that no one at the CIA, but someone at the state department or higher DID.
What am I missing here?
Hillary? Obama? The generals? Maybe others sitting near some firepower?
I just strolled ABC, CBS, CNN, and MSDNC news sites. ABC had the story to the upper right, CBS you had to scroll waaaay down and located on the left side, and nothing whatsoever at CNN and NBC. Fucking amazing.
Beckel is ENTIRELY incorrect, as usual.
What am I missing here?
Not a darn thing
Okay, now Ace his it and I’m sure it will be hashed out.
I don’t mean to be crude, but why do any of these fucktards need anything beyond a commercial flight?
If one person is so important that they can’t delegate for a few hours, you’re doing it wrong.
Especially since the average uninformed citizen wouldn’t recognize most of them anyway. Honestly – what percentage of the population would recognize Leon Panetta?
The first 10 minutes of Bret Baier is must see.
We all know the answer: Valerie Jarrett would not allow it.
The ambassador repeatedly asked for help over the months, never got it. The day he died, he asked for help. Didn’t get it.
Attack happens, CIA operatives holler for help…told to stand down. Wouldn’t CIA high-ups try to get them help? I would think, them being there…possible bad things could happen, there has to be a Plan B. Why was there no implementation of a Plan B?
I can’t believe CIA higher ups and State and generals, would defer to Jarrett in ‘standing down’, during a terror attack. There is more than one head that needs to roll.
The report on Fox – is that the administration is completely and totally lying. Their sources on the ground say one thing, and the administration says another.
Reporter (the one with short hair – Jennifer something) says her sources are excellent.
The administration claims there were NO denials for support during the attack. Folks on the ground disagree.
Why didn’t Patreaus ignore the order to stand down?
Jennifer Griffin is who you’re thinking of. She’s been all over this. She’s gonna be the Bob Woodward of our times.
I just love her.
Exactly mare. Those were ‘his’ men.
Why didn’t Patreaus ignore the order to stand down?
That would have been (probably) ignoring a direct order from POTUS.
We know in our hearts that it would have been the right thing to do (ignore) but for someone who’s been military his whole life… could he have really done that?
I think during a terror attack, your first duty is not to stand down and let your men get killed when you have the means to prevent it.
http://www.blackfive.net has had a few good piece on this whole thing.
One of my fav takeaway quotes:
I don’t disagree with you one bit, Beasns.
All I’m saying is that, not having been in the military, it’s hard to know IF someone like Petraeus COULD have ignored a direct order.
Plan B is you follow a standing order, which is to do everything you can to protect the lives of Americans, and a US Ambassador, the equivalent of a 4 star officer in the military.
The only way you abort that is you are told to abort that by a higher command.
This thing is unraveling.
Yes, it will all come out.
Exactly Dave.
These people are really pathetic.
Sorry if this has already been linked, but I’ve seen it a few places and folks are saying “wow”. (I will have to listen later) http://youtu.be/lljKmmZyCiw
How could anyone in good conscience, abort that? I thought you were not supposed to leave your men to die. It’s not like they were in some hard to get at crevice in the Afghani mountains.
It would be better to have fewer dead and stand in front of a tribune than to watch your men die and live with it for the rest of your life.
You take a direct order from the most important person in authority. That’s the only way.
Then if you have a conscience you resign.
This is why I am not military or Queen. There would be smoking carcasses but none of mine.
But Dave, sometimes ‘authority’ make bad calls. Sometimes ‘authority’ are working for the other side.
Incidentally, David Petraeus threw Obama under the bus today.
“No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”
Fuck you O. You made us stop, we had assets engaged. Two of em died.
It was your gutsy call bubba.
Let The Boy watch Men In Black as his evening entertainment. Boy was that a mistake – “Mommy, what does “doesn’t mean dick” mean? Mommy, what’s a POS?” I thought we were just in for some happy alien-blasting fun.

I should be more mindful in public that I am not with the Hostages all the time.
Got on the bus, got a window seat and tried to sleep. Lady next to me was yammering with a Chinese lady across the isle. The guy and the lady in the seat in front were getting annoyed and were throwing glances at the yammering lady. I pointed out to the lady that she was disturbing everyone. She basically ignored me and continued talking. After it got too much, I said to the lady across the isle, “you know, if you stop listening, she might stop talking”.
The yammering lady blew a gasket, called me a fucking foreigner, and then called me a racist (i think). She was incoherent. That raised the heckles of half the bus and they berated her for bringing my nationality into the dicsussion. I got a few approving smiles later.

Dave – Andy,
It’s back in the current thread as:
Greg at October 26, 2012 08:52 PM (6et0b)
All troops everywhere have an inherent right to self defense. Just like you do. They just tend to be better armed.
But… bringing in a Spooky (the AC-130U reverted from Spectre back to Spooky to differentiate it from the AC-130H) isn’t “self defense.” That’s “combined arms.” The Spooky crew (if there was even one on station or within range- there ain’t many of them) would need weapons release from a higher authority. Positive permission, rather than someone coming back and denying an existent authority to fire.
Also, re:scrambling form NAS Sigonella- you need permission from the Italians for that. We landed a plane there during the Achille Lauro incident, and damn near got kicked out of Sigonella.
BTW, middle sister was born in Catania, while Dad was stationed at Sigonella as the Maintenance Officer.
That is not the same explanation as the Delta operator at Blackfive, xbrad. Am I confusing something?
Who comes up with these videos?
http://chill.com/RenGarfield/post/555fc7dbfc2c45448769445b44bde1cd/yoga-boner-jelly-donut-feat-daveed-diggs
Mare, my poor hands would fall off trying to type out a full explanation of airborne battle command and how the Tac Air system hands off weapons release authority.
When a Delta guy has Spooky overhead, typically, it’s been pre-cleared, with final release authority granted to the guys on the ground.
Xbrad,
AC130U = Spooky II. Spooky = AC-47. You KNOW that.
If the guy on the roof was ‘laser-designating’ the mortar, as the article said, he was already synched with what-ever asset was overhead, be it Predator, Reaper, or whatever. If it was ‘illumination’ rather than ‘designation’, it could have been for the gunship.
No-one is being very fucking specific.
Chrispy, from what I hear, most folks just call ’em “U-Boats.”
XB,
“Death From Above.”
I wonder if the bit about the laser painting got garbled in transmission to FNC. They could’ve just been using a rangefinder to get grid coordinates.
There are many conclusions that can be jumped to.
The one that can’t stand is POTUS wasn’t informed immediately by the watch officer at the White House situation room that a FLASH message telling him a four star command was in peril.
That bullshit will not stand.
Maybe POTUS was eating waffles.
“No-one is being very fucking specific.”
This is where it’s difficult for non-insiders to grasp what happened.
But one thing I’m capable of understanding is this:
“The one that can’t stand is POTUS wasn’t informed immediately by the watch officer at the White House situation room that a FLASH message telling him a four star command was in peril., ”
I’ve read, on several sites, that the President and Secretary of State and the Vice President were at the White House in the situation room while all hell was breaking loose.
How long did it take for boots on the ground to get to Libya…14 days or so? I think it would be just as interesting to find out why this took so long.
…And that the asshole flew to Las Vegas for a fundraiser within 24 hours of the aforementioned hell breaking loose.
Priorities.
Mare, wasn’t Leon there, too?
Somebody left those kids out to die. I want it hung around their fuckin’ necks…
Yes, Chrispy, Leon was there and an important piece to this POS puzzle. Patreaus? Don’t know.
The surveillance video was from a PREDATOR DRONE. A CIA ASSET. They OWN IT. Someone who gives orders to the CIA called off the defense of a four star asset.
Say “My Pet Goat,” motherfucker. I double-dog-dare you.
Pups, it’s unclear if it was a CIA or USAF Predator.
FLASH messages have the highest priority. I haven’t been out of the loop so long as to not know that. Those get somebody moving to the president’s watch officer, and he is duty bound to make sure the president knows what this is,
My bad.
Dave,
But if the precident is ‘sleeping’ for his trip to Vegas, Val-Jar would intercept, nes pa?
Variable, this is Knife. Over.
Andy,
Yuppers…
ChrisP, the emails came in between 4pm and 6pm DC time.
a relative of mine worked in crypto. he witnessed a FLASH come through his “office” once. he said the Officer on duty literally passed out… within seconds the door opened and some dude he had never seen in the facility took over.
Point: obama et al knew what was going on – this is just one giant scramble to cover asses…
*i wonder if a U.S. President would ever be tried for treason?*
Yeah, the more information that comes out, the more I get a bad, bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I don’t think it’s as bad as I think it is. I think it’s worse.
Fuckin’ SCOAMF.
Andy,
That just chills me to the bone. What an apt comparison.
Those kids were cut-off and left to die for political expediency.
Do you have a “Get out of Jail free Card? I do.”
I’m VERY angry and drinking WAY too much…
This is fascinating to read.
The thread, I mean. I also just read Obama’s statement to the local CO reporter and its pretty plain to me that he’s claiming he didn’t know shit until it was over.
“Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to.”
‘Doing whatever we need to do’ is not clear in a military sense. It’s meant to be deceiving.
“Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice”
In context, ‘securing our personnel’ sounds more like recovery than rescue.
Given what I’ve read tonight, I highly doubt SCOAMF didn’t know what was going on. He’s trying to set up a scenario that eludes blame, but SoS and CIA aren’t playing along.
>> Variable, this is Knife. Over.
Exactly. I’m going to steal that and tweet it

Tushar, some of these Indian spice mixes refer to mixing them with ‘curd.’ To what substance are they referring?
Sorry, was off talking with the kids.
I see a LOT of speculation here and on Rush’s show about why we didn’t call in the AC-130 and blow the fucker’s up.
Well, I’m about as ‘plugged in’ as it can get and to my knowledge there were NO taskable assets available. Understand that I have no OPCON of AC-130’s. If there were some (one) available it’s newsto me. AFRICOM couldn’t find it’s butt if it had a bell on it. They have a massive AOR and no assets.
Understand that not all drones are armed. Predators are unarmed, Reapers have hellfire missile capability. Just because we could see it doesn’t mean we could shoot it.

I cannot imagine what O’ Bumbles is thinking. My best guess is he is subscribing to the Ostrich Principal. He cannot see terrorism so it does not exist.
If there had been previous attacks, it doesn’t seem logical that some assets of some sort didn’t get repositioned. Too logical?

On this particular aspect of the story, I’ll remain suspicious that sloppy reporting is leading to some bad conclusions until conditions warrant a change.
AdBlock Plus, baby!
It was the wrong clip, anyway. I’m thinking about the one where the team is cut off and being fired on.
It was a good flick; may have to pull it out and watch it again.
Predators, Reapers, what were the assets available, and why were those kids left out to die?
Someone needs to hang for this. Yes, I’m drunk and pissed, as I once wore the uniform and I just can’t imagine this happening…
Hell, ChrisP. I could’ve damned near gotten there in 7 hours.
Andy,
I just want to know WHO THE FUCK ordered them to “Stand Down”. Just who the fuck decided those folks had to die.
I want to know what the fuck they were covering-up, the warehouses full of weapons bound for Syria, at whose orders.
I’m really sick of this shit!
IIRC, allied operations in Libya during the shooting phase were run via EUCOM, not AFRICOM.
Okay,
I’m wasted and sorry for polluting this with political shit. It just breaks my heart that this had to happen. I’ll just go watch the local “news” and go to sleep.
NYTOL
wore out from ranting on twitter about how Jimmy Carter actually tried to do something at his electoral peril, when Obama didn’t have half that nut.
I likely sounded idiotic. Cause I’m tired and Tushar bogarted the cough medicine.
Nite cool kids.
Jeebus, it’s one political ad after another here right now.
Brown vs. Warren and SCOAMF/Mitt lobbing shells into NH.
No, that was good stuff Dave.
Nothing like high school football in Texas….Clear Creek 8 & 0 baby!!!!!!
long day.. crashes.. thank God I am not drinking with Andy tonight again.. I’d die
nite kids
Chrispy, I’m in total agreement with you on wanting heads to roll. I wish I had some halfway sane liberal friends who I could ask what their thoughts are on this – are we living in some weird bubble where what happens in the Middle East doesn’t matter unless it’s politically advantageous to the Dems and/or makes our military look bad?
AD & Cyn, we got 9 inches at my home mountain – that’s about 3% of the average for the entire ski season, so if we can do that about five times over the next month and then maintain good snowfall for the rest of the season I’ll be ecstatic. AD can run screaming, Cyn can squeal, the rest of you can make jokes about 9 inches.
What Dave said. I think I’m done with that for the rest of the year.
Night all.
I am surrounded by low info voters and D-rat family members. They don’t even know about Benghazi. They have no idea why we are “Making this an issue”. My “informed” family members didn’t even understand “The Surge” in Iraq. These people are still mad at H8CHKN. I was invited to a Baptism by a family member who walked out of Mass because the priest asked the congregation to pray for Terry Schiavo. Dan just had me RSVP as a “no” without an explanation.
One of the guys in the Yahoo group gets the Obama fundraiser emails. From the sound of it, they’re totally freaking out. No ‘help carry us to victory,’ it’s all ‘omg we’re fucked fucked fucked!!!!11!!!’
Please please please let it be so…
Oh, and “Any donation you make today will automatically enter you to win a trip to Chicago for Election Night. You and a guest will meet President Obama and get front-row seats to history.” Wouldn’t it be schadenfreudy tasty delight to be sitting there next to President Onmywayout when he loses?
EXCUSE ME!!!!! Somebody better recognize that my Alma Mater’s football team is 8 & 0…..fuck people you think this election and shit is more serious than this???? high school football/Texas????
One of my RL friends was sooooo excited to be going to TFGs inauguration in January. She already bought her dress. Single mom, mixed race, got her degree using TFGs education initiative. She has mostly gone silent recently.
I see my time and efforts are wasted here.
Do any of your uninformed family members travel out of the country, oso? I can’t imagine anyone who travels internationally feeling that the current administration would do anything at all to help them if they were taken hostage/hijacked/attacked. Obama’s testicles are in a vise, and the worst part is, he didn’t even fight it – he just slapped them up on the workbench and said “here you go!”
Part of me feels really bad for thinking this, but I’m sorta feeling like the best thing that could happen for us internationally after the new administration takes office is for us to bomb the shit out of someone. Put the fear of the US into the hearts of everyone, make an example that no one wants to follow. I hate it that it’s come to that, but the current administration has laid down on the ground and let the international community kick us in the ribs.
8 & 0? Is that good?
Texas football. Friday Night lights!!!! Aliceh, I have a cousin that lives in Madrid, family members that travel to Europe, Japan, South America, and Mexico all the time. They are all idiots. The only family member that even begins to understand is my Marine Capt. cousin, but he makes me be nice.
Chrispy, have you tried Lidocane patches? I was skeptical, but they seem to seep in and work.
Evening h8ters
Hi Lippy!
Lidocaine
Hi Oso! I’m going to step outside for a smoke, brb
Friday Night Lights?
Man, Connie Britton was hot in that.
Dear Sohos,
Our local team is 2-6.
A few good kids surrounded by a bunch of losers.
Excuse me for not sharing your euphoria.
Connie Britton is in the new show Nashville.
Oso, I made it about 5 minutes into the pilot of Nashville and gave up.
I don’t watch episodic TV and I denounce myself for knowing crap like that
I’ve gotten to where I prefer episodic television.
Especially One Tree Hill!
Mr. L and I are enjoying The Unit, even though there are a lot of things we point out and find fault with. But it’s decent entertainment.
I pretty much only watch sports. Most TV shows have “celebrities” that make me “twitchy”
I never got around to watching S4 of The Unit, though I did watch the series finale. Until they got into the grand conspiracy shit, it was pretty entertaining.
I mostly watch television to find wimmens to post on Load HEAT.
Was The Unit the one with the guy who played Belushi?
Haha XB!
Feeling a little melancholy. Younger brother of a friend from Taiwan passed earlier this year and I’ve been getting his FB birthday notification all day. He was only 42. Great musician. Heart attack.
I REALLY wish yall would take the header picture of me and PJM down already
Sorry Oso, it’s so sad when our friends start to go. Among other things it reminds us to be grateful for what we have and not take it for granted.
X-bad, are you in OC?
Sohos, charge for the use of the pic!
You were moving last I heard- are you settled in?
I am all settled in and love it. We have been here 6 months already. Crazy how time flies when your having fun
Lippy, I never take anything for granted. How is SoCal treating you?
I am indeed in OC, but not sure I can even find time to buy you a cup of coffee. Not sure when we’re heading back, either.
Sorry for your friend, oso.
My family are idiots too. They are so toxic to my well being, I have written them off.
I am loving being back in SoCal! Love our apartment complex, it’s like a resort and it’s so nice to be relatively near friends. I’m grinning all the time.
XB, I understand – I owe you a birthday beer when we eventually meet. Hope you’re having a nice time.
Dear crispy, I wish I could take away your pain.
*puts lottery ticket on shopping list*
Glad you are enjoying the OC, Lippy!
Thanks Oso. And Beasn, wouldn’t it be wonderful if one of us won and could get ChrisP the operation he so badly needs?
I don’t mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you derp
Through other people’s eyes
derpity derp…how goes it, Sean?
Aww, just saw that email where bamster is dreaming out cuz romney has 45 million for the last 11 days.
Here’s my sad face.
Freaking out, stupid auto correct.
Ohai everybody.
…get ChrisP the operation he so badly needs?
Sex change?
Addadicktomey?
Sorry, Lips, I wasn’t ignoring you. I just got a phone call.
Unfortunately, I have to hit the hay now, so derp tight everyone.
Well, hello there and good morning!
Hey, isn’t that wiserbud`s house down there?
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
I’ve been reading Nate Silver’s 538 blog for a little while and it appears he is a total fucking idiot.
He includes online polls, and a RAND poll that isn’t a poll at all.
I heard the coffee maker finish, but I’m comfy under my afghan and don’t want to hop up.
How have I failed in life that I don’t have a sexy maid to bring me things? Hell, right now I’d settle for an unsexy one that was willing bring me my coffee.
I got my coffee, finally, but I had to get it myself.
For the 2010 midterms Nate Silver predicted a 54 seat gain by Republicans. His model, though was used to include anywhere from a 29-81 (confidence interval).
Rs ended up with a 63 seat gain, so he was only off by 20%.
* reaches for Car in’s file *
I’m so sick of polls.
Oh, I see. He’s using a 90% prediction interval, which means in a close race, it’s essentially a coin flip. 95% tends to be the minimum for acceptable risk for evil capitalist corporations.
I believe my good friend from Conyers, GA would say, ‘I was born at night, but it wasn’t last night.’
Wakey wakey
Little grey wig!
Going clothes shopping later.
Little grey wig!
I’ll kick your ass.
So what’s the lowdown on this storm, and who is in peril? DC? CT? Massive snowfalls in MI?
Give the Texas brotha the low down.
This is the kind of thing that I’m sure kills Obama inside, so it’s the kind of thing I love:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/david-stern-obamas-not-as-good-as-he-thinks-he#HTWF2
Straight up racism, hatin on the black man
You guys know about Ted Turner saying it’s good that US troops are committing suicide? Did you notice in the video he was going to say “terrific” and stopped himself. Then he goes onto say that killing each other is “left over behavior from hundreds of years ago”
Ah, is he thinking that evolution did that in just “hundreds” of years?
I know it doesn’t matter but it just shows how insane (clinically) he’s really become. Plus the whole being glad troops are dying deal.
It was 80 here Thursday, should crest 46 today. No snow.
I’m mistaken. Gonna get to 55 today! I won’t need a coat.
Perfect running weather, Leon. Just saying.
Drive-by squishy hugs!
Perfect running weather, Leon. Just saying.
I’m sure if I have to escape a pack of coyotes I’ll be grateful. In the interests of accomplishing something useful, I’m planning to use my calories to rake.
*snags a hug*
I’m going to use my calories to deliver food to tables.
Later, I will pretend I’m running from a pack of zombies (i’m off at 4)
I LOVE it outside right now. Cold and sunny. 52 right now.
Yeah, it’s nice here too. Last Saturday in October, sunny and cool.
All this running Car in does, and she is still in Michigan. If I was a runner like her and was in Michigan, I would have put a couple of states between Michigan and me by now.
30 here. Frost on the car windows this AM. Headed for work and I really just want to be lazy and read trashy romance novels.

Leon, did your Taliban at least give you a reach around?
Thanks, couldn’t tell from the links, are they still talking about the weird combination of the artic storm and the hurricane producing a bunch of snow on the back side?

Don’t worry about the snow, Dave. Cold don’t hurt titanium knees.
time to get some outside work done before the monsoon hits…. the ducks and geese are flying north – wth
Yup. Snow through WV into South Central PA.
hanks, couldn’t tell from the links, are they still talking about the weird combination of the artic storm and the hurricane producing a bunch of snow on the back side?
No idea. I prefer to be surprised by such things.
>> Cold don’t hurt titanium knees.
You’d be wrong about that.
But it ain’t gonna be cold here. For a while.

Man shopping done. Found pants and shirt I like, bought two of each.
Xbad, I’m going to be in the desert in about 3 weeks. Might be able to find time to buy you a drink. You going to be around?
I should be back in the desert by then, TG. Maybe I’ll just have you to the club for lunch?
That works…There will be more family around that week so plans/schedules haven’t been finalized yet. When things get sorted out we’ll do this.
Leon, did your Taliban at least give you a reach around?
An afghan, not an Afghan.
HAHAHA
Windy!
Good morning, lazy bastards.
Good morning, Sean.
So, whose turn is it to stuff Sean’s corpse into a dumpster behind a Chinese restaurant?
Monday night.
Certain death.
Well, those are two of the more ominous comments I’ve seen in a row around here.
The guy on the radio is advising us to lash canoes to our roof.
I suppose hiding in the basement won’t be good advice this time.
So, whose turn is it to stuff Sean’s corpse into a dumpster behind a Chinese restaurant?
I got this.
“The guy on the radio is advising us to lash canoes to our roof.”
Gross.

Read that wrong, my bad.
I’m hearing that Christie is going to declare a state of emergency here… Kinda really glad I won’t be here. :P

Man, slang has gotten really esoteric.
In all my years of living on the Gulf Coast, I can honestly say that the words “hurricane” and “snow” were never uttered in the same sentence…..
It’s been nice knowing all of you NE reprobates – :P

Wait, wait a goddamn minute.

I’m afraid to ask what that means, Dave.
Could be worse, dave.

Looks like we will probably lose power again, which is fine. We have plenty of food, the freezer downstairs has enough cold packs layered among the food that it will stay good for over a week and we can use it up in stages.
City water, always flows, no problem.
I froze big tupperware containers full of water in the upstairs freezer, so when the electricity goes I can put those on the top shelf of the fridge and use it as an ice box for a few days.
We have enough propane for the gas grill. We do need more charcoal for the other grill. I have a couple big stainless steel pans for heating water on the grill.
I need to fill up the gas tank in my truck.
Need to pull all my big empty flowerpots off the potting bench area and into the garage.
Scott is mowing the lawn. I’m about to commence a laundry marathon.
Meh. We’re ready.

And here I thought all that stuff was free.
