Remember my comment about a week ago, asking if anyone's seen a commercial featuring a young woman in a bikini who was wearing her red pumps in the freakin' pool?
Anyway, I finally caught the ad again last night on TV Land, so I didn't just imagine it. It's for Hard Rock Hotels. Here's the link. Still kind of a weird touch if you ask me.

Years ago the old feebled coroner would go to a house where someone was dead for a period of time. He take one whiff and would say heart failure. Eventually he really got himself in trouble.

But the local beermonger had a six pack for five and change, so I got one. It's...surprisingly acceptable. Not to be confused with good, but I'll probably keep some around for a while.
More flavor than you would expect from an AB product, and 5.7 ABV is no joke. Good for the end of the night when "taste" becomes a non-issue.
So, thanks, whoever that was.

If there is any serious rationale for allowing private sector unions to conduct their restraint-of-trade, anti-competitive activities (and that rationale has become very unpersuasive, actually) continues to exist, then public sector unions have no possible justification. One or the other.
Also would be fun to see conflict-of-interest logic applied here. No political contributions or activities by public employee unions. If the Hatch Act is constitutional (all right, stop laughing, I'm using that term as if it really mean anything any longer, just for discussion's sake), thenbarring$$$ and other explicitly partisan activity by public employee unions should be.

Funny you should mention those beers. I usually keep some Newcastle around for a light drinking I-don't-know-what-I-want beer, and I had some XX Amber at the local Mexican joint yesterday. Don't much care for Killians, if I'm going Irish it's Guinness or Murphy's.
But I would put the Copper Lager right about the Newcastle level of quality, a bit below XX. But it's a little cheaper than Newcastle, and gives an extra 1% ABV, since Newcastle is 4.8 if I remember right.
Again, thanks. This isn't the first time you've had solid advice for me. And if I ever move to Houston, I know who to call for roofing issues.

If another point of view, another opinion, offends you(see "Global Warming"),

Yep. But bourbon can have some rye, and rye can have some corn -- in fact, it usually, but not always, does.
But bourbon tastes mostly of the sweetness of the corn, and the char of the barrel, and the things that those two do with age. Rye is spicy and complex and varies from a little bit sweet to hardly sweet at all. At its most rye-ish extremes, you can see the kinship to rye bread.

A few years back, a guy came into the museum, said he had almost completed the manuscript of a book on a secret Corsair unit that trained at El Centro in WWII. Their mission was to be counter-V-1 duty over the Channel. And they'd be the only Corsairs in the ETO.
As I recall, the timing was such that the Allied invasion and subsequent seizure of the V-1 launch sites obviated the mission, and the unit was folded into Pacific duty (Navy or USMC, I don't remember).

To me it feels like the same horseshit that has captured most other scientific disciplines (see climate "science") has also captured physics. Of course, I speak as a non-STEM guy, so I am likely full of shit.
OTOH, what if someone took that old, discredited "theory" that the Earth is the center of the universe, and assumed it wad actually true, and took a new look (and recalculated everything) at what we know about the universe?
Perhaps we would find that instead of having to make uo more and more outrageous theories to fit everyrhing together, the universe might actually make sense.
Or perhaps this is a mentally deficient way of restating the cosmological anthropic principal.
Or, maybe giving up drinking for Lent was a bad idea.

With one bigass ice cube in it, the Woodford Rye just tastes a little...I dunno, thin. Just not much there in terms of flavor. And almost no smell. Weird.
Anyway, its fine, but Bulleit is better. Don't worry, it won't go to waste.

I remember reading an anecdote from one of Gary Taubes' books. He's a science journalist who has most recently written books about the obesity epidemic and nutrition. But before that he wrote a book about particle physics, chronicling the discovery of the Z particle, or maybe the W particle.
In contrasting the two disciplines, physics and nutrition, he talks about attending scientific conferences for each. At the physics conference, someone would present a paper, and the attendees would rip it to shreds, probing every possible weak point. At the nutrition conference, they would say "good job, nice going." Guess who has better science?

There is something going on but the current research is trying to explain it from current models. I'm betting on Vacuum energy or something similar, but when your theory gets as complicated as all that it is time to start looking at different explanations.

Even in the more straightforward arenas like chemistry and physics your work can be full of holes, and when you venture into biology and human psychology, hoo boy.
Don't be a scientist unless you are prepared to have your work ripped to shreds and if that never happens to your work, you aren't doing science and neither are your colleagues.

I don't. I used Fleischman's baking yeast and half and half unbleached wheat and buckwheat flour mixed the day before, and made them into hotcakes in the morning, probably with brown sugar and salad oil.
I think I was using Bob's Red Barn brand buckwheat flour.
You need the sugar to get a decent brown cooked color, and the oil is to keep it from sticking too much. This was back pre-recipes for me and I was trying to figure out what worked.
I later figured out that recipes worked better.

Do I actually get to be an authority here, merely because I've read every one of the PBF comics online? Well, so be it.
The protagonist pictured is obviously not an adult, but a sort of proto-adult. He wished for, and got, true love. He has it. And then he looks back, and sees others getting cool spaceships, being superman, wheelbarrows full of money, and he doubts whether true love was the right choice, or, more accurately, he sighs and says "ok, true love, I guess."
So what does that mean? That it was not really true love? No, I think it means that he is still not a grown-up, that the child within him still thinks those other things might be much cooler, because he does not have enough life experience to know that that's not true. It's kind of a deep message. But PBF specializes in messages that are simultaneously super-easy to get at a superficial level, and which nevertheless make you think for a long while afterwards.

You don't understand how grants work. A grant comes to a university, against which you can charge expenses. You never have title; the Feds don't just give John Q. Public a check for a million bucks. The university takes roughly about two-thirds of the grant off the top for overheads - those administrators and grievance studies assholes don't come cheap - leaving you with ca. one-third of the grant to actually do any work with. At no time do you have the full sum (or indeed, any part of the sum) of the grant in your hot little hand.

True Love is every bit as seductive as those other choices. The character showing even a bit of regret is illogical per se.
But I don't think you've given me anything to work with here. Your argument appears to amount to "no one could ever 'get' this comic as its very premise is so illogical that no one could hope to ever understand it." And yet the writer got it, and intended that people would get it, and I got it, and probably some others did too. So if we're going to have an internet argument, I think you need to tell me what I did not get, and you did, that is consistent with the idea that the author intended to write a comic that people would understand?

Background -- we have these "pop-up greenhouses" so that we can grow stuff that is even more tropical than our "it freezes every other year and snows every 20" candyass climate can grow. And it's time to reclaim our patio. So we're tearing all the sheltered plants in pots -- gingers, succulents, orchids, lemongrass, etc. -- out, and collapsing the tents. So we have weird stuff everywhere....
Late in the game, after we've sorted them out to places they won't immediately croak (ferns in full sun, etc.), I'm watering everybody. We let 'em dry out pretty hard 'cause we'd be moving so many.
So I'm going toward one of our water valves to turn off a sprayer and there's a tropical cactus in the way that really shouldn't be there. Figuring that it might bite me in the leg, I stepped a little wide and promptly slipped on a wet piece of plastic (that really shouldn't have been there)....and when it looked like the resulting sprawl was going to end up with me face-down with the aforementioned cactus embedded in my chest, I actually said something loud enough for the fiancee to react (and probably audible two blocks away).
That being the word "SHIT!!!!"
I managed to avoid this fate by about six inches.

Either it means what it means or it doesn't.
You and the cartoonist can't insist on an imperfect meaning of the word. He's wrong to shade it with the idea that 'true' is somehow 'un-true.'
This ain't rocket science, yo.
Pick one; 'True Love' or 'Meh'
OK, this advances the argument, good. Damn, its fun arguing with people who think.
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that any reasonable definition of "True Love" utter precludes any possible wistfulness about contemplating "what if I were Superman?" or "What if I had a really cool spaceship and could fly anywhere I wanted?" or "What if I were a super-rich guy." That's a reasonable place to occupy. And yet, I am blessed with true love, and I would not choose any of those things first -- but I cannot state with conviction that I am utterly free of wistfulness in contemplating them. That wistfulness comes from the teenager I was, not the adult I am, but I can still touch it, and I don't see that contact as a disrespect to my true love. Your move.

The first one was basically a case of whittling down the responses until they fit the hypothesis, to the ridiculous extent of eliminating something like (ironically) 97% of the poll responses.
The second one was basically just a bunch of true believers secretly rating abstracts of papers in the metaphorical "back room" of a warmist blog, many of the listed "supporters" have challenged that assertion.
By the time the third one came along, it was clear all of them were just built to get to the "97%" number with no other function, as it engaged in conflation between GW and AGW and CAGW (classic tactic, as someone if part of something is manmade, then if they say yes, report as if they had said all of it is, and it's catastrophic).
Further review indicated something like 0.5% actually supported the "Chicken Little" version as reported.
The actual numbers are all over WattsUpWithThat, or Climate Audit. Tired, not compiling links.
But there's no real social or legal consequence to lying if you're a liberal, so we'll keep hearing it. Just like Saddam Never Had Any WMDs (ask a Kurd), or Bush Took The 2000 Election To Court To Overthrow It (there's a reason the case is called "Gore v. Florida.").
Also, raising taxes doesn't affect consumer spending, minimum wages don't affect hiring, and if The Right Person asks them nicely enough, Iran won't ever sponsor terrorism again.

Now you're asking me to be the asshole that says "no, actually your relation to your loved one does not, in fact, adhere to the idea of "True Love." "
It's not a matter of your conviction. It's not a matter of *you*. The whole point was the meaning of 'True.'
The definition of "true love" has not a thing to to with you.
Again, the idea of 'true love' is every bit as unattainable as un-aided flight, invisibility, telepathy, or time traveling.
It doesn't exist in our temporal existence. The cartoon argued a cartoon point in a cartoon world.

Shortly after Andrew 'revealed' that he wanted ace's commenters, I went to his then fledgling site and registered and made one comment; something to the effect of 'okay I'm here as requested, now what?'
The comments there are not well moderated, with alot of racial spewing the last few times I looked. Ace and the cobs would go thru that commentariat with a wrecking ball.

Anybody think 805 by Firestone Walker in Paso Robles CA is a good beer? Had some last week and really liked it.
Posted by: the littl shyning man at March 23, 2015 12:53 AM (U6f54)
I got it a couple of years back and thought it was meh. The original thing for it was that it would only be available in the old 805 telephone area code, and be something special for locals only. Well, that only works if it's better than the good-stuff you ship out, or if it's as good as the good-stuff you ship out, but cheaper. Neither is true with this beer -- and, now, they're shipping it to more of California (if not other places), so it's not exclusive.
Firestone-Walker can make better beer than this.

Oh boy! Guess what I get to do?
Just opened up a pre-paid Visa gift card I got for Xmas and when I checked the balance it already had two fraudulent charges on it. Almost cleaned out.
After a call to the card customer service line, now to maybe get my money I have to go thru an agonizing process, faxing is involved, starting with getting the receipt for the original purchase. Lucky the store is local or I'd have no chance instead of damned little, since I've got a feeling when I go in and ask for the copy I'm just going to get the stare, since I'm not the original purchaser.
Seriously folks, cash in a card or if your must -- store gift cards. This sort of thing happens all the time with Bank giftcards and are a bitch to resolve.

There is corn in the fields, planted and growing, that is unfit for human consumption and destined for ill-conceived ethanol programs......and you'll call me a cunt because I support harvesting this corn under the misbegotten rules with which it was planted, instead of changing the rules immediately, fucking up this year's harvest, doing nothing for this year's hungry, and impoverishing the farmers who would be able to plant the right thing next year.
Yeah, you think I'm a "cunt" because I don't mouth your platitudes. I think you're an idiot and an asshole because you don't reflect the reality of growing crops. And, further, I consider you a loathsome destroyer because your actions would cripple the ability of farmers to provide for next year's hungry as some sort of depraved penance for actions rationally taken in prior months.

Well, lately, both offenders have been ranting about the corn ethanol mandate, and going on about how the GOP supports "welfare" to the Iowa corn farmers (although it's really ADM that gets most of the gravy).
Funny thing, though, I think most of the Morons here are solidly opposed to the ethanol mandate, at least in principle, but we also understand that it's a political third rail in the Corn Belt, and primary contenders (in both parties) have to live with this fact.
My own suggestion? Let the Conservative candidate propose a long-term phase-out of the ethanol mandate, maybe 20 years, but long enough that the farmers voting don't see it as a direct threat. Then if he is elected as President, new information is uncovered that shows the damage done by the ethanol mandate is much worse than previously thought, and that it has to be stopped abruptly, as of the end of the crop year. Then announce some sort of time-limited bridge program to tide the farmers over until the free market catches up.

I'm solidly against Ethanol, and farm subsidies in general, but that guy was freaking nuts. End of the crop year at the earliest, most likely, we'd have to agree to some kind of phase-out like you said, or perhaps some kind of diversion program to help switch some corn farmers switch to other crops if it'd break the market to dump that much extra corn on it.

The entire concept of an ethanol mandate is to have farmers grow something that they would not grow otherwise, and the question is, "what would they grow otherwise?"
First year, pay what was agreed; second year -- farmers determine their own markets.

Getting back to a natural market needs the goal. The current setup of subsidies creates market distortions that spill over into a lot of other things.
Posted by: Cato the Rebel Without a Party at March 23, 2015 04:17 AM (J+mig)
IIRC, I heard somewhere that some rice farmers had converted to corn because of the ethanol money.
Let that sink in a minute. I don't know all the logistics required to switch a plot of land from being a rice paddy to being a corn field, but I'm sure it would not have been fast or cheap. And switching back would likewise not be fast or cheap. Even if the ethanol mandate ended today, the damage that's been done to the farming sector will not be easily remedied.
Posted by: Elisabeth G. Wolfe at March 23, 2015 04:25 AM (iuQS7)
It would be the same thing as cutting off welfare and telling the slackers to go get jobs. Not quite a fair comparison because farmers DO work for their pay, but getting subsidized payments to grow a specific crop is still a form of free government money no matter how you cut it.

First up, the attempt to raise the mandate (PS fuck the 10% mandate too) to 15%. It became a no go due to the proof that it would damage countless IC engines not built to handle it.
Second, the gas producers reached their max on putting 10% ethanol into every available gallon, because consumption is in decline; finally, they had to waive some penalties though there are still a bunch of penalties being paid because the goal is not achievable due to market forces. Let's fine you for an unachievable goal; sounds like a certain health care law.
Third, the crop insurance program was modified 'to save money' by changing it back to price supports; since prices for corn have declined in half since 2013, guess what -- The price support program is going to cost vastly more than the old program. You can thank Boner and Mitch The Bitch for helping to shovel this one thru.
This is all off the top of my head; but I am sure I can provide links to back up what I've typed.

Third year, shitcan the Department of Agriculture.
It should be noted that George Washington "made-do" with a four-person cabinet: Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State; Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury; Henry Knox as Secretary of War; and Edmund Randolph as Attorney General. That's what the founders intended, and that's what they did.
Today, we have 15 "official" cabinet members, with Secretaries of Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, HHS, HUD, Transportation, Energy, Education, Veterans' Affairs, and Homeland Security added to Washington's group (as well as "Secretary of War" being renamed to "Secretary of Defense"). In addition, we have eight "cabinet-level officers" -- VP, Chief of Staff, Dir OMB, Administrator of EPA, Trade Rep, Ambassador to UN, Chairman of Economic Advisors, and SBA.
For those who know me, it should come as no surprise to find out that I fully agree with George Washington and believe the other 11 cabinet positions are redundant at best, unconstitutional at worst, and that both the cabinet position and agency that they head should be abolished as expeditiously as possible.
Interestingly, I have far less to quibble about in the "cabinet-level" tier. So long as the individual isn't managing a bureaucracy bending citizens to their will, I have no problem with there being a VP, Chief of Staff, Dir OMB, Trade Rep, Ambassador to UN, and Chairman of Economic Advisors. The only two I might have some objection with would be the EPA and SBA -- which, again, are the only two with major bureaucracies.

So much bureaucratic duplication, too. Even if they could justify the need for all of those functions, there's no reason why all of the civilian functions shouldn't be through the Dept. of the Interior (Agriculture, Commerce, etc.) and why Homeland Security and the VA aren't part of Defense/War. Too many cabinet-level departments.

Remember that to follow the scheme of the Constitution at all, Congress is supposed to restrain its meddling within the Enumerated Powers of Article I, section 8 -- http://tinyurl.com/75uc3

That's also true, the justification for most of those functions is as flimsy as wet tissue paper, I was just making an argument that even if we're somehow stuck with all of these unnecessary things, the implementation is a total clusterfuck.

1. Establish a Department of Redundancy Department.
2. Review all agencies, top down, across the board. Whenever two or more agencies or departments serve the same function, the newer one is made subordinate to the Department of Redundancy Department.
3. After the review is complete, eliminate the Department of Redundancy Department and all its sub-agencies.
(You can see why I'm never running for office.)

The purpose of those agencies has transmogrified to act against citizens. This is at the leadership level. They want worship of the State, and they are looking for power.
We need a list of people who can neither be employed by the Federal government nor work as a Federal contractor. Call it the Jamie Gorelick list.

A dumping ground for career bureaucrats who prevent anything actually getting done. Throwing a few $Billion at this annually is worth it if it makes other agencies actually function.
An old aerospace joke I learned while editing some books. They used to call the BOMARC the Civil Service Missile: It wouldn't work and you couldn't fire it.

I say,
blogs should finance their operations with a subscription model and readers of the blog must use True Names and a commenting system like Disqus where True Names can be verified.
No more hiding behind the fog of anonymity.

One should also note that truth can seem to be a moving target if it is you that is in motion and the truth is in a fixed position. Your point of view can make a large difference in how you see the big picture.
