HHD

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.
country6

One way to stay in shape.
country3
A rest in the shade.
country1
We’ll pretend this one is a redhead for Carin.
country4
Nice smile.
country2
Last but not least.
country5
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.

  6. Comment by leoncaruthers on March 5, 2014 7:35 am

    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

  8. Comment by Car in on March 5, 2014 8:00 am

    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.

  9. Comment by Jay in Ames on March 5, 2014 8:05 am

    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.

  10. Comment by Jay in Ames on March 5, 2014 8:07 am

    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.

  14. Comment by Jazz on March 5, 2014 8:41 am

    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.

  15. Comment by leoncaruthers on March 5, 2014 8:42 am

    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.

  16. Comment by Jazz on March 5, 2014 8:43 am

    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.

  17. Comment by leoncaruthers on March 5, 2014 8:43 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.

  18. Comment by Jazz on March 5, 2014 8:44 am

    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.

  19. Comment by leoncaruthers on March 5, 2014 8:44 am

    It took me 75 minutes to get my replacement SS card request filed. 60 of that was waiting.

  20. Comment by Jazz on March 5, 2014 8:47 am

    That’s why I’mma be there when the office opens. BBIAF!

  21. Comment by leoncaruthers on March 5, 2014 8:47 am

    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.

  22. Comment by leoncaruthers on March 5, 2014 8:48 am

    Aw crap, Steak & BJ day is a Friday this year. I guess it’ll be salmon.

  23. Comment by Car in on March 5, 2014 8:53 am

    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.

  24. Comment by Car in on March 5, 2014 8:55 am

    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.

    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.

    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!

  32. Comment by Car in on March 5, 2014 9:24 am

    You don’t have to fast if you have a health issue. Pregnant, or I’m sure blood sugar issues.

  33. Comment by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX on March 5, 2014 9:28 am

    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.

  34. Comment by Hotspur on March 5, 2014 9:34 am

    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.

    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.

    I dunno if you’ve seen this case at all, but this little girl is a real bitch.

    A judge today blasted an 18-year-old girl suing her parents for support after she ran away claiming they were behind her bulimia and that her father showed her ‘inappropriate affection’

    When Judge Peter Bogaard read an expletive-laden and vicious answerphone message left by Rachel Canning, from Lincoln Park, New Jersey, to her mother, Elizabeth, in which the girl said: ‘I wanna s*** all over your face’, he said: ‘Have you ever in your experience seen such gross disrespect for a parent? I don’t see it in my house.’
    * * *
    ‘I’m not going to put myself in anyone’s shoes, he’s (father Sean) trying to raise a child. It’s clear to me all the positive qualities Rachel obviously has, in terms of sports and academics, but I’m not going to step on a father for how he tries to get his child on the right tracks when she has obviously come off the tracks, to put it mildly.’

    When summing up later he denied all immediate financial claims, including monthly maintenance, private school payments and legal fees.

    Summing up, Judge Bogaard said: ‘The court was called upon to find whether immediate financial relief was needed… It is not necessary….

    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.

    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.

  59. Comment by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX on March 5, 2014 11:46 am

    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…..

  60. Comment by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX on March 5, 2014 11:47 am

    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.

  62. Comment by leoncaruthers on March 5, 2014 11:49 am

    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”.

    Is this for REAL?

    Although there was little doubt about who would be the nominees for Texas governor this year, now that the primary is over, the race between Attorney General Greg Abbott and state Sen. Wendy Davis can officially begin.

    And it promises to be a good one, perhaps the most competitive campaign for the state’s highest office in 20 years — since George W. Bush defeated incumbent Ann Richards in 1994.

    Last I saw, Abbott was up 11 pts. I’m hoping this Billy Bob Ray Colonel Sanders wishcasts more than forecasts.

    Elijah Cummings (D- bloviating, fatass, entitled shit-disturber) has a conniption:

    Immediately after Issa adjourned, Democratic Oversight Committee Ranking Member Rep. Elijah Cummings angrily blasted Issa’s efforts. Issa ignored Cummings and shut off the Democrat’s microphone.

    “Mr. Chairman, you cannot run a committee like this,” Cummings shouted, calling Issa’s inquiry a “one-sided investigation” and saying, “We’re better than this as a country.”

    “I am a member of the Congress of the United States of America, and I am tired of this,” Cummings shouted.

    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?

  78. Comment by George Orwell on March 5, 2014 1:03 pm

    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.

    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 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.

    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. When it has to be fast first, you go for cheap/ Cheap food & cheap help.

    • Rather than protect America’s defense budget, combat unemployment, push for Keystone XL, or investigate the most lawless administration in American history, Boehner’s priority is Amnesty and handing Obama a political victory.

    • And, once again violating a promise, Boehner has no intention of repealing Obamacare — he’s going to ‘fix’ it.

    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.

    I did leave a choice comment at today’s post – it will probably get deleted:

    Of course Ms. Davis is for the death penalty – she stood for 13 hours to protect a woman’s “right” to kill her baby halfway through a pregnancy. Who needs a gun when Governor Richards’ daughter’s organization stands ready to crush skulls and dismember bodies in utero?

    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)

    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.

    My apologies for being crass.

    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.

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..

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Is pot legal where Thomas Friedman lives?

    I don’t want to go to war with Putin, but it is time we expose his real weakness and our real strength. That, though, requires a long-term strategy — not just fulminating on “Meet the Press.” It requires going after the twin pillars of his regime: oil and gas. Just as the oil glut of the 1980s, partly engineered by the Saudis, brought down global oil prices to a level that helped collapse Soviet Communism, we could do the same today to Putinism by putting the right long-term policies in place. That is by investing in the facilities to liquefy and export our natural gas bounty (provided it is extracted at the highest environmental standards) and making Europe, which gets 30 percent of its gas from Russia, more dependent on us instead. I’d also raise our gasoline tax, put in place a carbon tax and a national renewable energy portfolio standard — all of which would also help lower the global oil price (and make us stronger, with cleaner air, less oil dependence and more innovation).

    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!!

  367. Comment by Jazz on March 6, 2014 8:53 am

    I’m a little bemused by this:

    [T]he idea that the white arrivals’ gains have been black residents’ losses suggests a zero-sum game when, as Lee noted in passing before cursing his way forward, longtime homeowners made fortunes off of the rise in prices, while tenants in the projects and other subsidized housing have reaped the gains from improved schools, cleaner and safer streets and so on.

    But Lee … is using complaints about newcomers as a backhanded way to lament the virtues of de-facto segregation, when people knew where they belonged, and where they might get chased out of.

    * * *
    Good old neighborhoods are only that if your group “belongs” in them. When I lived in Borough Park, Haredim would give me the evil eye, because, as a secular Jew, I was keeping the messiah from returning. On Coney Island Ave. last year, a sweet-shop counter guy took the time to tell me the truth about my devilish people. Even in Windsor Terrace, where I live now, a bushy-bearded Jewish guy with an Asian family like me might not have been very welcome 20 years ago in what was then a close-knit white Catholic neighborhood.

    http://nydn.us/1e5iJP6

    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!

    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.

  378. Comment by leoncaruthers on March 6, 2014 9:24 am

    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.

    We’ll still have the arsenal to defend it, in theory.

    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.

    Fox News poll sez Obama’s approval hits new low

    For the first time in a Fox News poll, fewer than four voters in ten — 38 percent — approve of President Obama’s job performance. Fifty-four percent disapprove. Before now Obama’s worst job rating was 40-55 percent in November 2013. Last month 42 percent approved and 53 percent disapproved (February 2014).

    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%.

  385. Comment by Jazz on March 6, 2014 9:36 am

    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.

  386. Comment by leoncaruthers on March 6, 2014 9:37 am

    Uh-oh….

    The U.S. Treasury has just released its annual “Financial Report of the United States Government,” which provides an account of the federal government’s finances using accounting standards like those that the government requires of large corporations….

    By tallying this newly published data, Just Facts calculates that the federal government has accumulated $71.0 trillion in debts, liabilities, and unfinanced Social Security/Medicare obligations. Spread equally over all U.S. households, this shortfall amounts to an average of $580,000 per household.

    During the federal government’s 2013 fiscal year, the official federal deficit was $680 billion, but this comprehensive accounting reveals that the federal government’s fiscal position deteriorated by $3.3 trillion or an average of $27,000 for every household in the U.S.

    In reality, all of these figures may be higher, because some of the federal agency projections on which they are based are decidedly optimistic.

  396. Comment by Jazz on March 6, 2014 9:50 am

    Media fucks with portraying the armed services in a good light:

    After an Olympics-related hiatus for much of February, most of TV’s biggest hits returned to the schedule with new episodes last week, accompanied by a tsunami of media hype….Yet as usual, one perpetually overlooked show topped them all last week, with an audience of more than 17 million: NCIS.

    Now in its 11th season—its 250th episode airs Tuesday, Mar. 4—the CBS procedural, about a team of special agents (led by Mark Harmon) from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, quietly continues to be one of the biggest shows on TV (second only to The Big Bang Theory, which had 17.73 million viewers last week). Yet it receives only a fraction of the media attention (including magazine covers and talk show appearances) and respect paid to all of those other shows that it soundly trounces, week in and week out.
