Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. This one might be a little weird because it’s being put together at 3 AM. Not the best treatment for insomnia, but it is what it is.
I like Gary Allan’s “Smoke Rings in the Dark” album and think this is pretty fine, too.
Country music goes with country boys.
One way to stay in shape.
A rest in the shade.
We’ll pretend this one is a redhead for Carin.
Nice smile.
Last but not least.
And with that, I’m heading back to bed. Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

RL friend is posting pics of dead possum
No she isn’t. I mean, it’s a possum, sure, but it’s not dead.
My .38 didn’t kill it. I’m sure it’s giggling silently about the .22.
The drug lawsuit people are going after testosterone supplements. I’m sure this won’t make it harder to get them when you actually need them.
I give up, it’s a conspiracy. It has to be. Literally everything in the modern world is trying to feminize men in every way, hormonally first and foremost.
My day is starting out fucking fantastic.
#2 left me low on gas and I watched my “miles left” go from “40” at my house to “0” on the 6 mile drive.
FUUUUU
THen my debit card had NSF and the money I THOUGHT I had put in my purse was back home. I had to pay for $7 of gas in CHANGE.
Is it too early to drink?
wake the fuck up
My dogs killed our possum. Last week. I did mention that didn’t I?
It was cold stiff dead. Picked up with a shovel and it was hard as a rock. It’s in a bag to go out with the garbage by the garage.
It’s better when the animals die in the winter. Had a possum crawl in behind a planter this past summer and die. Found it by the smell.
Heh, I did that gas thing once. I was lucky that the attendant recognized me, and let me drive home and get my money off the table.
Good morning, cool kids.
BUNK!
Morning, children. Hope your day gets better Carin.
Breakfast is ready
Mornin’ Jazz. How’s your day starting out? We are already in the 20s, so things are looking up here.
G’morning, J’Ames! I had already left for Ash Wednesday Mass when you hit me up earlier. I got in at the 7AM service, which doesn’t have all the music and long sermon (for the folks who have to go to work). My parish has the earliest service in the diocese, so it was kinda full, and we had to get there a bit early.
It’s 14* this morning with a winchill of 5*. So, it’s not atrocious, but it’s still pretty danged cold.
My 830 telecon was cancelled. Yay.
I left my mug in my other office. Boo.
Trying to be a good Catholic and fast today. I feel bad for the average grazer who tries this. I’m like a fasting veteran at this point. Loading up with 3# of chicken thighs for dinner last night probably won’t hurt, either.
I’m taking mom to Social Security here in a minute. The office is, for all intents and purposes, right around the corner, so I hopefully won’t be gone long. The office opens at 9 AM.
My wife has to be at work in Mt. Clemens by 7am, so we’re headed to evening services. Likely to be packed. At least I hope it is.
I’m eating a vegetarian omelet right now, leon. Vegetarian chili with cheese & sour cream w/ dill. I hadn’t intentionally thought of fasting, but, since you brought it up, I think I’ll avoid the meat for the rest of the day, anyway.
It took me 75 minutes to get my replacement SS card request filed. 60 of that was waiting.
That’s why I’mma be there when the office opens. BBIAF!
One big meal was what Sister Theresa said. Snacks as needed, but I find those actually make fasting harder. Abstaining from meat today and every Friday, with another fast on Good Friday.
Aw crap, Steak & BJ day is a Friday this year. I guess it’ll be salmon.
since I’m a horrible catholic, I don’t feel the need to fast. I’ll avoid meat, of course. If I’m going to find my way back, I’m not going to start with the hard stuff.
I don’t like my local church, and the “good” church is way down in Lake Orion. I like it, but it’s also a bit stuffy. $$ people. But the service, and atmosphere is nice. Very welcoming.
Perhaps I’ll just have Jazz be my spiritual leader for a while? What do you say, Jazz?
St. Anthony’s has been very good for us, but it’s impossibly far for you folk.
Thing is, I was considering a switch to a one-meal-per-day plan anyhow, at least for a little while. I do okay on them.
Dinner is often my first meal of the day.
I’m not a faster. I’m a grazer.
Yes, we’ve talked about this. I’m pretty sure my RCIA sponsor is going to have a tough time of it today. His blood sugar takes regular dives if he doesn’t have little doses of carbs throughout the day.
Rawr – nice selection of beefcake today, Roamy!
You don’t have to fast if you have a health issue. Pregnant, or I’m sure blood sugar issues.
Surely “fasting” doesn’t apply to anyone with a medical condition like diabetes.
Years and years ago there was a young woman at work who had immigrated here from Afghanistan – not sure if her husband was from there or somewhere else. She was pregnant, and during Ramadan while everyone else fasted (only during the day; everyone could eat at night), she told us that there had always been special exceptions for pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those with medical conditions such as diabetes.
I’ve been watching the series Homeland. It’s pretty intriguing. Can’t figure out who the bad guys are yet. Well, except for the muzzies.
Surely “fasting” doesn’t apply to anyone with a medical condition like diabetes.
Ages 14 to 59 with no health conditions. I don’t think my sponsor has anything diagnosed, he just gets a little drowsy if he misses breakfast before mass.
Mrs. Caruthers has watched all of Homeland, HS. I couldn’t get interested in anything other than Morena Baccarin.
She’s definitely a dish. Sometimes there are more tits in this show than the ladies locker room at the gym.
It also kills me that Claire Danes decided to be blonde. I know she wasn’t a real redhead, but I hate fake blonde. She’d be better with her natural brown.
This warms the cockles of my cold, cold heart:

So, I’ve been to services, Social Security, and my mother’s former employer already this morning. I’m kinda ready for a nap now.

Help. They broke my arm. Egypt police
That shit is just FUNNY.
Oh my . “help” . Ba haa haaa haaaaa …
I know, right, Carin? Here’s how you learn about the “unenlightened” world. She’s so lucky she hasn’t been Lara Logan-ed yet.
Or worse.
She can thank her looks for the broken arm, instead of the rape-rape.
They put her on the “Third World Weight Loss Plan.”

Dr. Tim Stanley is an Englishman who has a PhD in American History. He’s fecking AWESOME.

The best part is the guy who’s footing the kid’s lawyer bill is an attorney himself, and he’s gonna hafta eat the $12,000+ already billed in legal expenses – and the expenses yet to be billed. What a total and complete ARSE he is, too. So much bad judgment everywhere there.
If that had been decided the other way, the precedent would have been incredibly economically and culturally destructive.

In other words, we should all be thankful that the brat wasn’t the least bit sympathetic.
xbrad, Ms. Danes is delicious.
She’d be so much prettier to me as a brunette.
Security is insane. Between Windsor and Hartford, that’s about 6 miles, I saw over 20 state cops. There is at least one sitting at every on-ramp, and every exit on both sides of the highway.
This was 2 hours before his plane lands.
I
All those cops to protect the worst criminal in the nation.
I’m currently wading through the Donziger/Chevron decision, and boy, howdy, is it a doozy.
Surprisingly, it’s not your typical dry reading; it almost reads like a crime novel – except it’s not fiction. Give a real insight into the mindset of some of the people who keep pushing their bullshit ideas (that we end up paying for in the end).
Thank goodness Chevron refused to roll over and just settle.
Would make a great movie – but I’m sure it would get bastardized and Chevron would end up the bad guy in the end, and the psychopath of a lawyer would be the hero…..
And that particular lawyer is quite proud of the fact that he played basketball with the JEF while they were both students at Harvard Law School.
The company you keep –
If one were clever, one could make that movie and cast Matt Damon as the psycho lawyer, all the while assuring him that he’s playing the good guy.
Then edit it to tell the truth and don’t tell him. He’ll never notice, he’s too stupid.
Cast Ashton Kutcher as the Chevron guy, let him in on the joke, and tell him it’s a super-elaborate episode of “Punk’d”.
All those cops to protect the worst criminal in the nation.
THey’re protecting him because he’s so popular.
I saw Obozo’s mug on the wall at the SS office. All I could think was, “That would make a GREAT dart board graphic.”
Of course college kids are going to support a hike in the minimum wage. That’s what they’ll be working for if they find a job.

Why I can’t stand white belly dancers
Whether they know it or not, white women who practice belly dance are engaging in appropriation
by RANDA JARRAR
This is worse than children with brain tumors or using the word “niggardly” in prose. I have been weeping for hours now.
I saw Obozo’s mug on the wall at the SS office.
SS stands for many things.
Whether they know it or not, white women who practice belly dance are engaging in appropriation
So, white people have a moral obligation to celebrate multi-culturalism, but when they do, they’re oppressive exploiters of the downtrodden.
Eh, Hotspur, neither of those guys was the candidate I really was excited about, but they both did more than Hillary or Obama did.
They won the nomination because it was “their turn.” *spits*
And you’r right, after the Obama nomination, it isn’t even worth asking the question as to what she’s accomplished. At this point, what difference does it make?
Srsly. Think for a moment…
You have to be someone who enjoys watching belly dancing. So instead of enjoying the lovely lady, your mind can’t get past the skin color. You don’t like that she is white. Then you think of all the rationalizations you can to support your dislikes. Then you have to decide it bothers you so much you need to write about it. Then you have to actually do so. But that still isn’t sufficient. You must air your grievances. Instead of facechimping your tearful woes, you figure you must get them published someplace with visibility and a minimum of prestige and eyeballs. You peddle your piece to every connected media outlet you know. You finally get it on Salon and let the world know you hates you some cracker peckerwood bishes doing the belly shake.
Bravo.
Are white people the only ones on Earth who celebrate when someone wants to share our culture?
I wonder which Republican’s turn it is to lose to Clinton in 2016?
Did we say “multicultural?” Sorry. What we meant these past decades was “whitey is inferior.”
Any bellydancers I’ve ever seen were of zaftig proportions. I couldn’t get past that to contemplate their skin color.
xbrad, it’s racist to embrace elements of other cultures, but also racist to avoid elements of other cultures in favor of “white culture”.
Eating Indian food is abrogating their culture.
Boycott their restaurants so you don’t hurt their feelings.
You know, I’m beginning to think it’s racist of me to do anything with other cultures, and especially with my own white culture.

I used to think going to Taco Bell was a subversive act of cultural oppression, with whitey bowdlerizing Messican foods.
Now if I don’t go, I’m disrespecting the brown peoples.
Or do I have this backwards?
Any bellydancers I’ve ever seen were of zaftig proportions. I couldn’t get past that to contemplate their skin color.
I didn’t see too many large belly dancers, but I usually had problems getting past the piercings and numerous tattoos.
Hah. Rush just called O’Reilly “Ted O’Baxter.”
Don’t know what that chick is bitching about, unless she’s jealous.
On the census, arab is grouped under ‘caucasian’. So she can suck it.
Lots of white blood in arabia. Back in the day many a slave were white and the women were put in harems.
No George, if you go to Taco Bell, you’re oppressing La Raza.
If you look at the pictures of Iran from the 60’s and 70’s, they don’t look all that ethnically far off from Spaniards, Italians, or Greeks.
Rush has been making fun of O’Reilly like that for a while. First time he’s attached “O'” to his name, though.
The brothaz better not start taking up bowling, or I’m writing a nasty article for the Weekly Standard.

Lesbians having sex with women is abrogating my culture.
I didn’t eat a paczki out of respect for Polish culture.
“Okay, Bitch, slap some of them fuckin’ ashes on me so I can go to work and act all holy and shit.”
I didn’t eat a paczki out of respect for Polish culture.
I didn’t belly dance either.
I wonder if Leon ever belly dances…
I do not. I mostly Urkel dance, which is not an abrogation, it’s me reclaiming it from a heinous culture thief.
I saw Heinous Culture Thief open for Tears For Fears in 1998.
Seven Senate Democrats joined Republicans to block President Barack Obama’s pick of Debo P. Adegbile to lead the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division amid a controversy over his legal defense of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.
Adegbile’s nomination needed a simple majority to cut off debate but the chamber voted 47-52 against him.
Obama called this a travesty. So I guess it matches the rest of his tyrannical rule.

I’ve been busy writing emails, Tom.
My new tech manager gave notice. I’ve been in my new position for 3 weeks. I’m busily trying to correctly point a set of expenses I need to/have incurred which require approval.
I had a dream a few nights ago that I invented an iPhone/iPad app that allowed you to place your order at McDonald’s from anywhere. Then as you drove into their parking lot it would automatically connect with their wifi. The payment would be on credit card so all you had to do was drive to the food windows. You would get a window number, and you’d just drive up, put in your order number, and voila – reach in and grab your food.
When I told HotBride about it in the morning, she replied “They already have that in Japan.”
Raise the minimum wage, bitches. I’m sick of dealing with surly people whom I can’t understand when they speak.
All McDonald’s employees should be college educated.
People were standing so long that Obama had to tell the people with seats to sit down. Then he told those standing to make sure they bend their knees a little to avoid fainting.
I had a dream last night about zombies. I could not escape the zombies. It was a long night.

HS, the fundamental difference between places like Chik-Fil-A, In-N-Out and Five Guys and their counterparts (Carl’s Jr/Hardees/McDonalds/Yum Brands) is that the former are built on quality then speed and the later are speed then quality.

Maybe he can unilaterally force their parents to pay them child support ’til they’re 30.
One of my former co-workers is knocked up by a guy who has two kids by two different women. He has not married a one, and bitches they take all his money in child support and boss him on when he can see the kids.
The first time they hooked up after a night at the bar, he gave her a life-time itchy scratchy.
She only works part-time.
Guess who is going to pay for the medical expenses, food, etc. of this kid and her bitch of a mother?
When I worked with her, she complained that she made $25 above what would have qualified her for a EITC.

Bob Ray Sanders is about as liberal a writer as you will find in this area – he’s been with the “Startlegram” for quite some time. He left for a while to work for the PBS station in the area, but came back after a long stint with them.
Unfortunately, that coincided with the paper’s drag to the left. Haven’t been able to read that rag for quite a while. Their endorsement of Teh One was the last straw – and I told them so every time they tried to get us to resubscribe.

Speaking of Texas politics, the Republican primary for Wendy Davis’ State Senate seat is going to a runoff – so Mr. TiFW and I can expect our phone to be ringing off the wall for the next 10 weeks (oh, joy).
The Tea Party candidate was 12 points ahead of her nearest opponent, but she failed to garner 50% of the vote, which is necessary in Texas to secure an initial primary win. This is one of the most-watched races in Texas politics this year, as the seat is considered the only one which could swing either way.
Our State House seat’s long-time incumbent (a Democrat) lost his bid for re-election by 111 votes; the results are not official, and by all accounts it was a very nasty race. No run-off if the results stand, though; the challenger won with over 50% of the vote. Thanks to gerrymandering, this seat will probably stay in the D column.
And the Lt. Gov’s Republican primary is going to a runoff as well – the upstart Tea Party candidate Dan Patrick blew by establishment incumbent David Dewhurst in a race that is starting to resemble the Ted Cruz steamrolling of 2 years ago – this could get VERY interesting, indeed….
(Ironically, Cruz is the person who beat Dewhurst in the Republican primary for the US Senate seat in 2012 – Dewhurst was considered a shoe-in for that seat)

Al Jazeera America… isn’t even pulling in half the total audience that predecessor Current TV managed. Al Jazeera America has averaged just 15,000 total viewers in prime-time since bowing in August, with only 5,000 viewers in the target 25-to-54-year-old demographic, according to Nielsen figures. That’s low enough to be considered “scratch,” or negligible, by Nielsen.

A student group at University of California – Berkeley is hosting a “White Anti-Racist Training” to teach white people how to confront white privilege in “queer and women’s communities.”
—
The group is “designed to equip white* students, faculty and staff with the tools to analyze white privilege and to challenge racism within and beyond our campus women’s and queer communities,”
Racist peckerwoods are a problem inside Berkeley feminist and lesbo cliques? White wimmens?
Some women are retarded. By the way, do I need track shoes or a singlet for this training?
I get what the State is getting at. Unfortunately, there will always be nomenclature to refer to people who do not conform to the majority’s view of “normal.” I agree that using pejoratives in the language of official state communication and documents is inappropriate. I disagree that the language police should try to ban offensive language altogether via laws. The meaning of language is fluid, and what is innocuous today could be incendiary tomorrow. “Retarded” was in common use in the medical and legal community for a long period of time. “Gay” once meant “happy.” There are all sorts of examples where words have taken on different meanings. Cultural consequences and social pressure are the vehicles to effect a changed attitudes, not invoking the coercive power of the government.
I took Hotspur’s comment at face value, but, after looking up what happened, the MI legislature only voted to purge the word from statutes and regulations.

little help here please. i hit some combination of buttons on my keyboard and when i hit the shift key it goes forward. also when i hit control it magnified. i tried to get the text back to normal and now it is so large i could read it from the next room. and yes, it’s plugged in and i rebooted it.
Did anybody tell anybody else that they didn’t want to answer their stupid customer service survey today?

JIGGLE THE HANDLE JIMBRO
Jiggle the fucking handle.
No one’s ever seen me and pupster at the same time. But I swear to god we’re different species.
If it’s Windows 7, try hitting the windows button and escape.

That last dood is a spitin image of my cousin’s son. Amazing resemblance.
Jimbro, hit any key. It’s labeled “any.”
The shift key problem is solved. I’m still looking at a screen like Reader’s Digest Large Print Edition. Freaky Deaky.
Just sit eight feet away from the screen.
You must have enabled some sort of accessibility features, for people with vision impairment or really small brains.

My working theory is that by November, Obamacare will be a net positive for Democrats.

I was just resorting to that. Who really knows what the hell they do. The “Ctrl” and minus on numeric keyboard got it down to about half the size it was. I’m going to keep hitting random keys till it’s fixed or smoke starts coming out of the computer.
My working theory is that random Fs are included in Obama’s transcript.

Racist peckerwoods are a problem inside Berkeley feminist and lesbo cliques? White wimmens?
I was reading about something along those same lines in another article – some black lesbian whining about how all of the people in power in lesbian circles are the over-40 white chicks, and “something must be done about it”.
Listen, sugartits – lesbians make up less than 1.5% of the entire US population, and blacks make up only 12% of the entire population. Given the abortion numbers in the black community over the last 40 years, I’m guessing that percentage is going to be lowered in a few years, but we’ll spot you that number for now.
12% of 1.5% = 0.12 x 0.015 = 0.0018 = 0.18%
In a country of 300 million people, you and your black lesbian sisters total around 54,000; only 25% of you are between the ages of 20-40, which lowers your power base to 13,500.
That’s an average of 270 black lesbians per state.
Don’t plan on making too many cookies for your grievance meeting.

Jimbro, did you look at the far bottom right-hand side of your screen to see if maybe you accidentally increased the % of the screen to something larger than 100%?
I….um….may have done that once or twice……
(BTW, to get to 100%, it says to hit “ctrl” and “0”)
I just searched on the google and the first page was about text size on Firefox. It gave step by step instructions on how to install a “+/-” on the toolbar which I did. I’m happy to say you guys are now normal.
I read that earlier in the process Teresa and tried Ctrl “0”. It just made it bigger all over again.

“I’m currently wading through the Donziger/Chevron decision, and boy, howdy, is it a doozy.”
I read it last night! Wowzer.. what boggles my mind is the mindset that Donnziger had that he could pull off a fraud of such huge dimensions. In the end he was no different than some street thug who rolled a drunk for some change and has his friends film it. Then posted it to Facebook. I loved one of the shorter sentences in the ruling that went something like…… “Someone at Chevron saw it.” talking about the part of the film where they showed some of the co-conspirators at a bar or somesuch.. Such hubris.

Apart from the Dick Butt and the Ass Pennies, fine.
I read that earlier today, GSG – the filmmakers were asked to remove a potentially damaging blurb after the film had been screened for festivals (and before it was released on DVD). They didn’t get all of them, though, as someone from Chevron caught the “original” version on Netflix.
The countersuits from Chevron are going to be popcorn-worthy.
I just keep saying, “No way!” – and then things escalate even more.

I’m perforating the payzone tomorrow morning and will run a gamma ray log to correlate
The best part of the Texas results is that our Speaker, Bob Strauss (more powerful than the governor down here), is losing a bunch of his allies. Maybe now we will finally get a Republican speaker who thinks it’s more important to represent his conservative political base rather than be pals with a bunch of Democrats, lobbyists, and other fixtures on the liberal Austin scene.

Anita & I went to the noon showing of “Son Of GOD” today. I took foam ear-plugs, and I’m glad. The back-ground sound-track was deafening!
They should have given me the volume-control…
I’ll give an 85. They did a good job, the cinematography was nice, and they followed the story-line pretty well.
Of course, having read “The Book”, there was a lot that was left-out. Had they included it, it would have been a “Very Long Movie”.
They pulled the heart-strings pretty well and it made us both cry.
We did get the “Senior Discount”, so there’s that.
Well done…

If republicans are smart (yeah, I know), they would swarm these places, create a scene and demand that heads roll. The Al Sharton/Jesse Jackson strategy.
Teachers union funds democrats. Get on the side of parents and students. Give them hell.

Everyone involved in that incident should be fired and legally barred for life from any situation that might give them in loco parentis rights.
Those type of stories really hit home when you begin to compare the outcome for the adults supposedly in charge with parents who may have done the same or a similar thing.
Teacher, cop or politician? Meh, they were well meaning and didn’t intend for anything bad to happen. Parent? The full force of the law must be brought to bear to warn the others!
The union will fight tooth and nail to protect the first two in your list, Jim. Even if they get suspended, they’ll never miss a paycheck.
Again: All the kids I went to college with twenty years ago who were extremely stupid, were in the process of becoming educators.
Present company excluded, of course.
But really. Worse than mediocre. Of course, half of them are probably retired with pensions by now, and I’m back in school to try again, so who is the dumbass?
Viruses replicate well and spread rapidly, entirely without intelligence or even cells of their own. “Success” != smart.
Also, vote no on any school millage. Gauss and Einstein learned everything they did with nothing but pencils, paper, chalk and slate.
Pupster, saw your note about Red Stag Spice. Have no fear, I’ve had no luck whatsoever with anything cinnamon-flavored, and wouldn’t have risked it.
My sister knows I love Biggby coffee (most of which is wonderful and I highly recommend), so she got me several bags at Christmastime. One of them is “cinnamon toffee”. I made one pot, and it was so unbelievably odd that I can’t even open the bag now. The smell makes me ill.
The girl I dated in high school retired several years ago after being a probation officer for 20 years. Full pension, health insurance. She was 4′ 10″ so she worked with the youngest juvenile offenders. Her uncle was a cop and I’m sure he tipped her off to this legal scam.
wakey wakey

Ga. Worst thing ever is when someone I know “brags” that all the kids in their school have iPads. I either have to bite my tongue, or start raging about how stupid that is.
Yeah, an iPad will help you concentrate and learn arithmetic.
Good morning, cool kids.
Home inbox had 33 emails in it. That is never a good sign. Apparently one of the moms lost her shit that no one was volunteering to help with a dance in May and told us off. Yeah, that’ll make me want to sign up.

I used to fight a guy at the dojo who was a federal probation officer. If he was 4’11” and 120#, I’m 7’10” and a world-class basketball player. I think he’s retired now, too. He was a fun guy, but I’m sure he’s an Obama voter. Dude could take a wollop, though. I’m known for “heavy hands,” and he never bitched once.
Only 33? Sounds like they forgot to “Reply All”.

Is pot legal where Thomas Friedman lives?
Raising the price on oil is going to lower the price of oil. We raise our taxes, so Americans can’t afford to use it anymore and the price of EVERYTHING goes up, but world oil prices fall. WIN!!

Ga. Ayn Rand was dead fucking on.
Good morning, citizens! Or is it comrades? I keep forgetting.

Have Friedman pee in a cup, or cut some of his hair, and test it. I’m pretty sure we know the results, but lets make it official.
Natural gas export he gets right, after that he starts humping his hobby horse.
I’m a little bemused by this:

In that last paragraph, in his three exampls, he goes from perceived ill intent and presumed rational to tarring an entire neighborhood with racism on the basis of one encounter to suggesting without any basis whatsoever other than religion and color that another neighborhood might not have welcomed him. Kudos to the reporter calling out Lee, but, fer cryin’ out loud, look in the mirror, brother!
Have Friedman pee in a cup, or cut some of his hair, and test it. I’m pretty sure we know the results, but lets make it official.

I think he’s trying to say that raising the price would lower demand, but I’m not sure the Chinese, whom he loves, are going to understand this.
They are buying cars at an astonishing rate. There will be no slow down in the demand for gas and oil in the foreseeable future.
This is a fact that everyone on the left tries to ignore. If we had any balls, we’d shift to becoming a more hydrocarbon based economy.
Drill more, frac more, export more, and get fucking rich doing it.
But fucktards like TFG and the rest don’t understand basic economics let alone the use of economic power as a weapon.
Remember, this was a guy that proud of just paying off his student loans in his late 40s.
He chose to be a debt ridden, part time worker, dependent on his wife’s no show job cuz it made him feel good. This is the height of immaturity and irresponsibility.

But the rich are the problem, MJ! Don’t you see? That’s what Occupy tried to tell us!
If we were all poor, we’d be better off!
Yes, Thatcher and all that. They want everyone poorer so that we’re more equal rather than everyone richer with a bit of variance between the top and bottom.
It’s been tried. Like 10 times. It doesn’t work, but….look squirrel!!!!!!!!!!!!
MJ, I have this weird theory that we’re holding off on our own oil/gas/coal for all these bullshit public reasons — knowing everything you just said — because waiting until the rest of the world runs out will let us make buku bucks selling it late in the game, and might even zero out our balance sheet.
Publically: Carbon is BAAAAD!!! Privately: Hoarding is good.
It would make sense as a plan, but if it was a plan, we’d never pull it off, so it’s happening anyhow.
I really like how the world is falling apart all around him and he’s talking about the minimum wage.
He’s back in full campaign mode, which is probably the safest thing for all of us.
Who will you sell it to later? They’ll have us by the nuts at that point.
He’s hoping for another mini-vacation this weekend. Ocean Reef (where I went to that wedding last fall). Hopefully Putin doesn’t wreck it. I think Michelle and girls will go anyway.
We’ll still have the arsenal to defend it, in theory.
But yeah, we should be doing what you said, and running full-bore on nuke research so we can synthesize fuel after the oil’s gone.
Because batteries will always suck, and liquid fuel will always be awesome.
I think he’s trying to say that raising the price would lower demand, but I’m not sure the Chinese, whom he loves, are going to understand this.
I think he’s trying to say he raise rates ONLY ON US. Only suckers will be paying higher taxes and carbon bullshit.
But a decrease in American use is enough to lower global price, it happened before.
These fucking nudgers. Central planners. They can all go fuck themselves.
Fox News poll sez Obama’s approval hits new low
http://fxn.ws/1e5rx7O
A few interesting observations:
If you had to say one way or the other, would you say the Obama administration has mostly succeeded or mostly failed at…
Only one of the six choices determines Obama failed with less than 50% of the respondents, and that still beat the number who said he succeeded on the same question. In every case, Obama is a failure. Obama’s “suceeded” tallies were mostly in the 30s, with one 42% and one 27%.
Another funny one: Of all the names suggested as a possible good Presidential, only Joe Biden receives more than 60% (63%, actually) “no” votes.
In the same question, Rand Paul loses to Hillary 50% to 28%, but 20% claim not to know who Paul is.
I’m not super comfortable with the MOE’s on the data sets and final results. I have to think them through a bit.
Do liberals hang up on FoxNews poll calls, or does Fox call under another name so they get better results?
“MJ, I have this weird theory”
It might play out that way but I don’t think it’s the plan.
Look at California, they are sitting on a sea of oil.
The environmentalists and lawsuits have made it impossible or horribly expensive to extract that oil. No planning needed, but it’s a nice side effect.
CA will eventually look at its balance sheet and elect their own version of Sarah Palin. But by the time that happens, Detroit will look like a nice place to live.
I hang up on all pollsters, or don’t answer the phone.
