The movement is pure grass roots in that it is composed of disparate groups with a lot of people who believe in the same thing.
Unfortunately, we are all not professional agitators/rioters who can go anywhere at the drop of a dime (we do not have the equivalent of a Sharpton or Jackson), and we do not have a media that will make us out to be virtuous freedom fighters.
We also do not have a political party to call home anymore.
I say national strike or some sort of peaceful revolution. And if that fails. . .

Also, any records in those offices are ours, so we should take them, too. Time to let these political scum see a real grass roots #Occupy protest. Metal pitchforks mandatory.

The Tea Party didn't "produce" them. They allegedly aligned themselves with it, just like you can walk in and get a Target "membership" card.
Whatever the Tea Party stood for -- and IIRC a few random "principles" were advocated at one time -- has become meaningless. The name has become a slang term and/or epithet.
It's as if John Boner identified himself as a Democrat. Wait...hasn't he already done that?

Got a new shower installed (in Japan), and the contractor was so bad I threw him off the job. Finishing up myself, and there may be a problem. They use special PVC joints that are clear, and you can see the glue to make sure it is a good connection. Well, the one joint that is near impossible to get at shows no glue for the entire upper half excepting maybe a thin line at the very end of the pipe. In other words, the seal is only 1/4" deep, and not the 1.5" that is typically glued.
I have not done a leak test, but I expect it will be fine, ... for now. Not sure how long it will last. I suspect the shower company required the clear joints to make damn sure they are correct since they are so hard to change.
So the question -- how thick is the glue line on a typical 2" PVC drain? Will I sound like a foreign idiot for complaining (I planned to pay him for the plumbing, but now I want to deduct it.)

If you really want to hurt the GOP-e, you have to somehow hurt them in the pocketbook, which means going after the Sheldon Adelsons and Ken Langones and, yes, even the Koch Brothers.
I guess what I'm driving at is some sort of national boycott or strike or something. What will it take to get a million man march - a REAL million man march - to DC and to every state capital?
At this stage, I will settle for a real leader to step forward and take the heat from the Leftists and the Quisling GOP and the MFM.

Therefore, when a Pat Toomey or a Scott Brown runs as a "Tea Party" candidate, they are merely playing to the base for votes.
If there really was an actual political party, I don't think people like them would necessarily be supported or endorsed by it, unless perhaps as a last resort.
Bottom line is we need a real Conservative political party. Whether that means taking back the GOP or all of us packing up and moving to the Conservative or Constitutional or whatever existing party we can commandeer.

"We" are starry-eyed loons, just like the Democrats. Show us some New Great Conservative Hope -- so regarded because he/she inadvertently mouths a conservative principle or two -- and we're like a Democrat ogling Choom Boy's tight Levi's.
Case in point: Rubio and Gowdy.
Almost as bad, we are the Party of Theories. Every time we get our butts whipped in an election of Congressional action, we anal-yze the results and proclaim that, in the great game of eleventy-dimensional political chess, a total loss was in fact a Major Victory. That's the approach the Corpulent "Captain" takes, and is one of the many reasons my visits to Tepid Air can, on an annual basis, be counted on the fingers of one hand.
In reality we are, as the Mocha Messiah said, "bringing a knife to a gun fight" and, as a result, we have been skooshed like a bug.
Ultimately, we will "win." Reality always does. But it won't be pretty, and we "winners" will have to deal with the same destruction, pain and misery as the losers.

I'm all in for that. But that would mean someone risking their political necks in an all or nothing bid. Still, I would be ecstatic if Cruz and Gohmert and the rest of them held a joint press conference that blasted their leadership - in essence declaring a revolt within the party. The reaction by the base would be the key after that.

I actually prefer the French press but it has two drawbacks. 1 - the coffee cools down quite a bit as it steeps and 2 - you have to drink it straight away or else it gets very bitter.
But if you make it just for yourself, these are not real big issues, I don't think. And just get yourself a thermal carafe to keep it warm if you make extra.

Talking mostly out of my ass here but as far as fracking/ horizontal drilling and all the other techniques are concerned it seems to me that the technology and infrastructure are in place so that if the ragheads drive the price down to the point that it is no longer profitable to frack then things could be mothballed until the price goes back up, in effect creating a price ceiling. Then we can pump the Gulf dry and the muzzies can eat sand.

Both Yum brands and McD's have new CEO's whose "fresh" push will consist of eliminating preservatives, which they feel they can do because of fast turnover. I don't think postmodern business orgs are up to the re-training that would need to go with this, and there is (partly our fault) no prestige involved in manageing food-prep processes at the consumer level ("flipping burgers"). Expect widespread foodbornes later this fiscal year. Thank God we have the CDC to save us.
Couple of ONT's ago, bunch of morons were impressing each other with how uch they know about the engineering of vinyl LP's. Wall Street has noticed. As we discussed, it's the only growth niche in the entire music sector, and of course investors are...not interested. So there's the usual museum search going on for equipment, and guys not being able to retire because no one bothered to learn their obsolete technology from them.

I think the problem with this line of thought is that the establishment doe not think of the Tea Party as their base- except at elections. For that reason I also feel that there are a plethora of democrat registered voters who can no longer align themselves with the far left democrat party of today. This is the perfect storm politically to produce a new party which would encompass all the disinfranchised of each party.
Yesterday I was talking to a friend who voted for Obama but is now disgusted by him. And I was told that his entire extended family-a VERY Union family-feel like Obama is ruining our country with immigration. The chances of them voting for Hillary or Warren are nonexistent, but neither would they vote for another Bush. I was asked what I knew about Ben Carson!

Not necessarily. We got that call one day. My 8-year old was accused by the principal of 'innaproprate touching' during a game of tag on the playground. I went through the roof. Fired off letters to teachers, principal and school board members.

Only dis on Melitta is that there are some sub-standard recycled-organic filter cones out there. Use the real Melitta filter and nothing is better. Grocery stores don't have the large filters any more because meth labs were snatching them up.
Chemex is still fun, and I've never seen anything other than lab-quality filter sheets for them. Hard to pour, though. And you need that little vent clip or the water will never go down.
No other system even comes close. Of course, most people don't really like coffee; they like coffee-perfumed soybean and alcohol-SD40 confections.

Eh, I think you might be wrong on the fast food thing.
At least for McD's.
I spent lots of time there in my teenage years (which was not that long ago) and I think they could get rid of preservatives in a lot of things without any real impact on food safety.
Firstly, a whole bunch of McD's stuff is cooked from frozen, which limits preservative usage anyway. Certain things (like salad mixes) aren't conducive to preservatives.
Other things will get rid of "preservatives" but still use things like CO2/nitrogen packing and various calcium additives (like the apple slices already do)

A man sold his soul to the Devil. When it came time to give it up, he tried to bargain. "I can show you an Indian who has the greatest memory in the world. Even better than yours."
"If he does," the Devil said, "You get to keep your soul."
The man showed the Devil the Indian. The Devil asked him, "Do you like eggs?"
"Yes," said the Indian. The Devil then disappeared in a puff of smoke. Fifty years later, he appeared before the Indian and raised his hand in greeting. "How."
The Indian said, "Scrambled."

A few years ago the US F-18 was in the running for the Indians to adopt as their next generation fighter. It was a major improvement in US-Indian relations that they were even considering a US airplane.
In the end, the reason given by the Indians for rejecting the F-18 was that even though it would be assembled in India, they were concerned that the US government would cut them off for spares at a critical time. I think that they had a valid concern.

I have an update from Nearsider. Actually an update and then a more complete rundown on what's happening. They are as follows:
My temperature continues to drop. I came in at 98.4°, last check (0730) was 96.1°. I'm not sure if that's a factor or not.
Also Percocet, which I'm still blazingly grateful for, as it let's me sleep for four consecutive hours at a time vitals taken every four, so that's the max) for the first time in about a week.
Several of the tests that ran Wednesday night were of the 24 hour variety, so I expect I'll lean something today.
34y/o male, 5'8, 160. Presented with rapidly expanding rash (5" x 0.5") and associated redness/pain. Ultrasound negative. Started on cleocin (450mg, 3x daily) over three days with no effect. Rash now measures 16" x 7".
IV antibiotics started Wednesday night (alternating clindomycin and one that starts with a v). No change, but no growth of rash. X rays are negative for gas in the muscle tissue, ct scan results not back, multi-site cultures not back yet.
No trauma, no broken skin, no fever, normal white count.
Allergies to all cillian drugs.

But whatever. He's got initials after his name. I think appealing to authority in these cases is not the fallacy it is at other times.
A little more precision: if I keep my knee bent between 30 and 70 degrees, I'm fine. Resting pain hovers around a 5. As reference, I passed a 7.2 mm kidney stone last year and called it 8.5. The war taught me it can always hurt worse, so I don't believe in 10's.
I can't extend the leg straight, nor can I bend it enough to put on my own socks without that pain level spiking to an 8. Waking, sitting, standing et al. (Anything that involves blood flowing into the leg after de elevating it) is also an 8.
Pain fades after about fifteen minutes of returning to a resting position.

I seem to recall buying unrefrigerated milk in Germany in the 1970s packed in those paper/plastic bricks. The milk had been irradiated and did not have to be refrigerated until it was opened.
I have read that irradiation of hamburger meat would completely eliminate the various e coli outbreaks that we have had over the years.

Yup. but as usual...
Several years ago a company in Florida, I believe, set up to do this very thing.
Irradiate food to eliminate bacterial outbreaks like E. coli.
Here's the as usual part-
The low IQ/ low info idiots on the Left and MSM created a panic about them "Making your food radioactive"-
-and how irradiating food with radioactive materials!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!!!! would make your food super deadly dangerous no-fooling for reals!1111!!!!
So, no food safety for us. Just like there's no clean safe nuclear power, no DDT to prevent mosquito borne illness, etc, etc.

Take ground coffee, sew into bags, and toss it into a regular coffee pot and boil the crap out of it. it's cheap, and it works.
One downside to the K-Cup revolution is the disappearance of coffee pods. The stores, in their ever-expanding of the K-Cups sections, just don't carry those handy pre-filter-wrapped pods anymore, or if they do, it's like a little 4-pack for about 6 bucks.
I always used the pods for camping, with a stainless steel percolator. Now I tie my own pods like you do.

Vietnam era Seabee receet: one pound of vac-pac ground coffee in 2-gal bucket. Fill almost all the way with hard-boiling water. Stir, preferably with bayonet. Add one canteen cup of cold water. Rotate forcefully in a vertical twirl at arm's length (requires decent muscle and an undamaged shoulder joint). Grounds will precipitate to bottom of bucket through centripetal force. Serve with canteen cup.

And now, totally serious--if she's storing competition gowns, that's some specialized storage. Flat boxes, long and wide enough the gowns can lay flat, tall enough nothing gets squished, maybe some padded rolls for things that need to hold a shape. Museums keep textiles like that in big custom drawers, so the weight of the ones on top won't damage the ones on the bottom.

We had the bill we wanted, but he stalled it until the next session and a watered down version was passed instead. I think he's going to go up there and settle right in with the RINO faction. The best I can hope for is he will vote the right way on the important stuff, but I have no illusions that he is for any sort of limited government.

the cost to recover the energy from things like fracking is much higher
than for the Saudi's to pump the shit out of thier wells. So their
"intent" here is to drive the price so low so that "fracking" and the
such go belly up
I would gladly pay $2.50 - $2.80 a gallon of gas if the House of Saud was a guaranteed implosion.
===================
The oil sheiks are dumping their reserve on the markets so we will continue to care about them. Keystone and domestic fracking scares the shit out of the House of Saud and all the coastal emirate nations, because if we pump our own stuff then the days of wine and Rolls-Royces is over for them. They know that if the USA has its own cheap oil at hand, then they will be abandoned to ISIS before you can say "election cycle".

I know God knows without me having to say it, but it always seems more powerful to call out specific people and issues.

Yikes! Was told fungal infections are probably hardest thing to cure because it's hard to get the medicine to target *just* the fungus and not host tissue.

IMO I would guess they're dumping their oil on the market in order to make fracking unaffordable - which reliable estimates say occurs around $50 a barrel.
Once that happens, then it's just a simple matter of adjusting the price so that fracking stays unafforable.
But....technology makes it more affordable every day, so that ploy will only work for a little while.

There's actually a special feature on the Season 1 DVD set that's called something like "Sometimes it's Lupus" about the 1 episode where it turns out to be Lupus.
(The best part of that running gag was when House hollowed out the Lupus text book to hide his drugs.)

I've gotten that line. Back when i was passing kidney stones. An entire henfest echoed that. I pointed out that women are designed to pass kids; no one is designed to pass kidney stones.

But stop wondering why everyone automatically assumes "thug".

I should add: Mrs. Nearsider had blood pressure spike Wednesday. They
pulled her into labor/ delivery triage and ran an hour or so worth of
tests and threw the baby on a monitor.
Didn't induce then, but will likely induce Monday.
So. My first born is coming, and I'm trapped here.
With no idea what's wrong.
I've informed the staff, in the most polite possible terms, that a
team of wild horses accompanied by a rhinoceros with a blow torch will
not keep me from the delivery, provided I'm not an infection risk.
They informed me my presence will likely be determined by my ability to tolerate pain. So. I'll be there.
=====================
See Bill Cosby's routine on the birth of his first child to understand that last line.
Nothing wrong with what's happening, the baby is a little slow getting out, and Mrs. Nearsider's body is encouraging it a bit much, so the Ob-gyn is gonna smooth things along. I was 2 weeks past due according to Mom; these days the hospital is not so patient. Merry Christmas to you on the forthcoming bundle of joy!
My sister was a Christmas season baby too, born December 1. One of the classic family photos is little me on the couch next to the tree holding her in a stocking courtesy of the hospital in Ames, Iowa. Posted by: exdem13 at December 12, 2014 09:35 AM (/mTq0)

Before I was born, my mother was a dental technician for the absolute dean of dentists in our area. When he dropped a tool on the floor, he would do that. And when challenged, he'd say "I believe Science will prove..." and nothing more.
He made a million, drove a (new!) MGTC, never lost a patient, and passed on full of years and wisdom. And, Science has proven...

"...and for all those of the Horde in distress or despair, we ask your intervention and protection."
Seriously, phrasing like that is probably the only thing keeping your average Catholic mass in the neighborhood of an hour or so.

The oil sheiks are dumping their reserve on the markets so we will continue to care about them.

==================
You got that right, the oil sheiks don't want Keystone and fracking to work out at all, so we can continue saving their ungrateful lazy asses. That Ben Affleck as anti-fracking crusader movie that was out a couple of years ago went belly up quick after someone tattled that the flick was heavily funded by Middle East donors. Thanks to the Obummer economy fracking is getting lots of play as domestic economy boosting, which is going to get some traction since the fracking states went Red last month. That and a general disgust at the Middle East right now is making a lot of people within spitting distance of Iran very nervous....
'Murica!!
