Early Morning Thread, 1/11/15 - May I borrow a cactus? [krakatoa]
I way overslept yesterday, so yesterday's thread today, and today's thread I'll gladly give to you next Tuesday.
Anyone else feeling super damned psyched that the big takeaway from this week is to be appropriately deferential to a ... ok, It's Ace's blog, and I'm not going to say what I really want to say... to Muslims (despite what Howard Dean might believe)? I'd say I hope your week has been better, but you've been watching the same craptastic display of

When a special little snowflake wants to describe themselves in an extra special way, and when being a dragon, a plant, or some invented gender just isn't enough, there is always the visual electro-magnetic spectrum to identify with, complete with extra special pronouns.

Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney have much in common. Both were pragmatic as governors, mild-mannered as candidates and more comfortable balancing budgets at their desks than clinking glasses at a political dinner.
Yeah, they have a lot in common, they are both RINOs and I am sure a liberal paper like WaPo would like to see one of them get the nod.

Show of Hands, how many of you jackwagons have actually tried to steer a toboggan? Downhill? While riding it?
"used for the sport of riding down hill my foot!"
They were used to haul stuff in deep snow. They were meant to be pulled by a guy on snowshoes. Pulling a load of firewood, or moose meat.
Ok so maybe the Ski Patrol uses them to bring injured skiers down off the slope, but they're professionals, trained experts
Don't let your kids ride toboggans without supervision of experts and keep para rescue medics close at hand, and a lawyer on retainer.

Senate RINOs want to increase the federal gas tax. Piss on them. I say
eliminate the department of transportation and the gas tax altogether
and give it back to the States. But this will never happen because all
money is fungible. A raise in the gas tax will not result in a raise in
the road maintenance. It will be pissed away on social programs just
like all the money is doing now. Social program equals votes.

Raising the federal gas tax is a remarkably stupid idea. However, the fact that oil is cheap does present an opportunity to impose a tariff on imported oil which would help protect US oil producers from the current Saudi effort to drive them out of business by driving down the price of oil. I would exempt Canada and Mexico from the imported oil tax which would minimize the effect on Americans since that is where we import most of our oil from. In order to improve support for the oil import tax, I would earmark the revenues collected to pay for the expenses local governments incur paying for the citizens of other NAFTA countries within the United States, in other words help finance the cost of Mexican citizens using emergency rooms, schools, prisons and welfare.
This would have the additional effect of making oil even cheaper outside of the United States, Mexico and Canada so it would tighten the screws on Russia, Venezuela and Iran.

And more than likely they will lose. SC Republicans have sued several times to close the primaries and the courts have shot it down every time. They say it is the responsibility of the legislature. I have no idea why they don't pass a law making them closed because Republicans do own the legislature.

This reminds me of New York State's Off Track Betting operation. Every year they barely break even running a legal gambling operation. This is something that has been the Mafia's bread and butter for more than a hundred years. OTB is notorious for being a parking place for idiot sons in law of politicians and other political cronies. The important thing is that it does not lose money. My personal feeling is that we should encourage other political operations like that which do not lose money but which provide a place for politicians to place their otherwise unemployable cronies. If I were to be put in charge for a while, I would set up a similar government operation to sell heroin and crack cocaine.
The thing is that you need somebody with minimal competence running things because the key is that while it is not profitable (if it is making money, that means you can hire more politically connected idiots), it does not cost anything to the taxpayers.

They were used to haul stuff in deep snow. They were meant to be
pulled by a guy on snowshoes. Pulling a load of firewood, or moose meat.

Do they still make flying saucers? Sled can be steered by torquing the runners with your hands if you are lying on your belly or your feet if you are sitting down. Toboggans can be controlled to a limited extent by leaning to one side or the other. Flying saucers, a convex disk of aluminum with handles, on the other hand, cannot be controlled at all because any random bump turns you around so that from one second to the next you might be facing where you are going, looking backwards or any other orientation in between. To make up for this lack of control they go remarkably fast once they get going. Lots of fun as a kid to go screaming down a hill, past where all the sleds had stopped and then out into traffic.

I am told that the areas downwind of the Aruba refineries are marked on nautical navigation maps because it can be worth your life if you spend any time there.

I had some nasty gas stove grates to clean, and saw this a year or so ago...
http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/i-saw-it-i-tried-it-cleaning-the-grates-on-your-gas-stove/
So I did this overnight (from 3pm yesterday until this morning), and it's a miracle cleaner. I just finished wiping off the grates - you simply need something abrasive, but you really do not need to push down hard, just remove the particles that are already softened up.
Wow. Wiped clean, sparkly.
The other miracle cleaning tip I use often is pouring Cascade dishwasher powder into my stainless steel coffee carafe, with BOILING water (not hot, boiling), and leave it overnight, or hours if I don't have that much time, and voila! sparkling clean without having to do anything. Works for any Stainless Steel thermos type containers.

It really seems like there's a terrorist attack grieving process that in the end amounts to so much fart gas.
1. Terrorist attack killing enough that it can't be written off as some crazed lone wolf running someone down with a car or something.
2. Flowers, teddy bears, notes left at the scene.
3. A unity rally of some sort that's not really meant to truly unite against a known enemy, but mostly make those who won't fight feel good about themselves - while speakers won't even bother to mention the name of the "religion" that's the cause for the attack.
4. Go back to business as usual. Condemn those right wing haters as racists. Continue to offer respect to those who would kill you. Deny, deny, deny.
5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 as needed until such a time that you can no longer gather and express yourself because you are now under sharia law.

I believe it would be the Schwiss' house."
So, because it ends in "s" there is no plural as with extra "s"? I've always understood that but the gap is there. Example, the "Frances' house".

I assume the family Schwiss is more than one person, so it needs to be pluralized first, then made possessive. So Schwisses, then Schwisses'. See, e.g., Jones, Joneses, and Joneses'.

Spoken, we would say 'classes', whether possessive, or plural.
But what about writing the plural possessive? Class's? Classes'? I suspect the former.

Dallas area high school football teams are just like the Democrats in an election. You know how elections look fair but the Democrats are cheating every way possible? Well, the state championship games look like football to the people in the stands who aren't watching through binoculars and can't see what is really going on out there on the field.

"The herd's stampede was immediate."

"Trio" is always fun. "The trio is" vs. "The trio are." I lean toward thinking that if you're bundling three into one, they become a singular entity, and should be treated as such.
I remember spending a whole shift on the sports desk arguing about it. That was when newspapers had copy editors, and dinosaurs ruled the earth.
Posted by: Bob's House of Nics Too Lengthy for iPads at January 11, 2015 09:45 AM (yxw0r)
Agree. The word itself already implies a plural entity and, thus, no modifier needed.

Herd is singular.
Herds is plural.
