3 You mean the Saudis are taking out the garbage the US threw? Well yeah.

Meanwhile US planes are supporting Iranian backed militia to retake Tikrit.

And yeah Bergdahl did serve just like Nidal Hassan.

This Administration seems to have a consummate skill to turn any situation into a dog's breakfast.

7 Good Morning Morons. Today is Thursday, March 26, 2015. On this date in 1812 a political cartoon coined the term Gerrymander reflecting the drawing of voting district lines to favor political incumbents. It was named after then MA Governor Elbridge Gerry who signed the redistricting plan into effect. I find the process an abomination. Rulings by the Supreme Court have been all over the map on this since the 60s.


The latest ruling was in Alabama Legislative Black Caucus v. Alabama in which a Republican redistricting plan created minority-majority black districts which then allowed other districts to elect Republicans more easily. The Supremes sent the case back to district court after Kennedy sided with the liberals. Their rational was the court used the wrong legal theory (when the Supremes themselves have been all over the map on this). In theory, redistricting based on race alone is unconstitutional from previous cases but the dejure result is that it is done for racial purposes to achieve a quota of black delegates which the liberals like. Another prime example of that is our own SC 6th district which assures that the odious Jim Clyburn will be elected in perpetuity.


My feeling is that State election maps should be divided up by county lines and then adjoining counties aggregated into equal population units for federal elections. In State elections each county gets a proportional number of delegates elected "at large" in the county except where a county would get less than 1 delegate in which either that county would get a minimum of 1 or it would be aggregated with an adjoining county for delegates.

15 It looks like the Supremes are once again equally divided over a case involving Obama's corrupt EPA. This time it is over the cost justification for the EPA's new Mercury rules which will in effect shutdown all coal and some oil fired power plants due to expense. It looks like Kennedy is back as the swing vote. My feeling, forget the damn dollar cost, what about causing rotating blackouts this summer due to power shortages? How has the EPA proven that the slight amount of mercury found in coal is causing health problems? I would guess based on past history that their scientific evidence is non-existent and their cost basis is a lie.

24 FLAMING SKULL


Obama surely has jumped the shark on Israel now.


The Pentagon has declassified a document that was once labeled top-secret, which goes into sophisticated detail about Israel's nuclear weapons program. The document was released quietly just prior to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's March 3 speech to a joint session of Congress.


But impeachment is "off the table".

25 The US department of education wants an expanded budget to hire 200 more civil rights investigators. In one instance two individuals have filed 1700 complaints alone. My thoughts, first off the Dept of Education has no justification for its existence under the Constitution and should be abolished. Second, even if it did, investigating civil rights complaints does not fall under the auspices of the DOE. That is a job assigned to the equally corrupt DOJ.

55 Commuting from NYC to Connecticut? It's like the world's turned upside down. Mr Blandings' Dream House is in ruins. They're tearing them down, in CT.

The old prejudice about the Saud Air Force was that the pilots were not bad at all, warrior ethos and all that, but that something in the national cultural milieu held that maintenance and supply work was somehow beneath them. The Hashemites next door appear to have risen above the old stereotypes. Expect Moron input on this?

Marx had a sort of ellipsis "then a miracle occurs" about the dictatorship just fading away, and everybody living in self-actualizing co-operative communal bliss. If you eer want to see a sophomore communist turn purple, just suggest that in the long run village-capitalism yields the same result with less head-chopping.

10.56 Note on the names: it's common practice in German media to name people only with a first name and the first letter of their surname, in order to get around the country's strict privacy laws.

10.51 Bild has named the captain as Patrick S. He was the father of two children. He flew for over ten years for Lufthansa and Germanwings and had completed more than 6,000 flight hours on the Airbus 320.

The paper names the First Officer as Andreas L. He was "young". He was from Montabaur, in Rhineland-Palatinate. He had 630 flight hours. He joined Germanwings in September 2013 straight from the Lufthansa Flight Training School in Bremen.

Yesterday we had temps almost to 80°F. Then the rain, and north wind, and we dropped almost to the 30s.

And wind. One dead in Tulsa, many injured in twisters. One 'nader followed the path of the deadly Moore OK hit of deferral years ago. Seems to be a prime tornado path.

'You can only hear the passenger's screams at the last minute'

To recap, Mr Brice said earlier that co-pilot Lubitz directed the plane into the ground 'voluntarily' but the passengers only realised what was happening "in the last moments".

"He took this action, for reasons we still don't know why," he said.

"We can only deduce he destroyed the plane. He voluntarily allowed the plane to lose altitude.

"I think the victims only realised at the last moment because on the recording you only hear the screams on the last moments."

FAA recognizes Andreas Guenter Lubitz
Rheinland Pfalz-based pilot sets positive example


The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is recognizing Andreas
Guenter Lubitz with inclusion in the prestigious FAA Airmen
Certification Database.


The database, which appears on the agency's website at www.faa.gov,
names Lubitz and other certified pilots who have met or exceeded the
high educational, licensing and medical standards established by the
FAA.


Pilot certification standards have evolved over time in an attempt to
reduce pilot errors that lead to fatal crashes. FAA standards, which
are set in consultation with the aviation industry and the public, are
among the highest in the world.


Transportation safety experts strongly recommend against flying with
an uncertified pilot. FAA pilot certification can be the difference
between a safe flight and one that ends in tragedy.

Lubitz 'showed no signs of depression last year'

Mr Robin named the co-pilot as Andreas Lubitz. In the German town of Montabaur, acquaintances said he was in his late 20s and showed no signs of depression when they saw him last autumn.

"He was happy he had the job with Germanwings and he was doing well," said a member of a glider club, Peter Ruecker, who watched him learn to fly. "He gave off a good feeling."

Lubitz had obtained his glider pilot's license as a teenager and was accepted as a Lufthansa pilot trainee after finishing a tough German college preparatory school, Mr Ruecker said.

He described Lubitz as a "rather quiet" but friendly young man.

Er, 1,000 meters/second would be 1 mile every 1.6 seconds, or roughly 2,250 miles per hour.

I'm quoting from a Krautish live blog.

They may have misreported. If it's +/- 10,000 meters over ten minutes, that's 1,000 meters per minute.

272 To recap, prosecutor Brice Robin said earlier that Air Traffic Control in Marseille asked the Germanwings Airbus for a distress signal but there was no response.

"So the plane becomes a priority for a forced landing," he said.

"Control asks other planes to contact this Airbus and no answer is forthcoming.

"There are alarm systems which indicate to all those on board the proximity of the ground.

"Then we hear noises of someone trying to break into the door. The door is reinforced according to international standards."

Mr Robin went on: "Just before final impact we hear the sound of a first impact. It’s believed that the plane may have hit something before the final impact. There is no distress signal or Mayday signal. No answer was received despite numerous calls from the tower."

Referring to Lubitz, Mr Robin said: "He did this for a reason which we don’t know why, but we can only deduct that he destroyed this plane.

"We have asked for information from the German investigation on both his profession and personal background."

330 Most people I know named Ford have a tendency to own Fords. Just, a thing. In a nearby town, leading citizen named Adler went to great lengths to obtain an impossibly rare Adler car. The football player Andy Studebaker? He owns one.

I am trying hard to picture Eleanor Holmes on a Manx or an Atlas. Also trying to work the legals on how to require this, constitutionally. They are easy to park.

332 Two man rule is in place for US airlines, not Euros.

I still think there is a market space for a high security, El Al type, airline. Pay more, get more.

333 If there's one skill that Obama and the democrats have that is effective in its destructive capability it would be dividing people and pitting them against one another. Alinsky's methods arent restricted to borders. The democrats are engineering a nice balls out war between two rival religious sects, Shia and Sunni. Everything they've done including serving up a "dirty" ambassador to clean up loose ends has been designed to result in what we are witnessing today. Remember what Michael said in the Godfather, sure Omalley or what ever his name is a police captain. But he's a dirty police captain and that makes him fair game for elimination.

Unless Walker shows he can continue the strategy, HRC will be President because she knows all the family secrets.

335 @331 Anyone who has spent much time with pilots knows they would never consider this a problem. They don't believe theirs stinks. And Aviators, OMG.

337 The link to that cockpit door post mentions that there is a security code that the crew OUTSIDE the cockpit can use to gain entry through a locked cockpit door.

The person INSIDE the cockpit, however, can override that security code and keep the door locked. BUT, he has to be cocnscious and actively override the code.

Bottom line is, you can design this stuff to the nth degree, but fuckups will always go to the nth + 1 degree.

338 [quote]Jen "Big Tits" Psaki says yes, the trade for traitor Bergdahl was "worth it". It is amazing how these Obamanite stooges can lie straight to your face in a completely outrageous manner. They truly have signed onto the Joe Stalin big lie theory.[/quote]

If I was advising Obama, knowing the press will blindly accept any ludicrous thing he says, I'd pitch this angle:

"Hey, after all, we offered to trade John Andre for Benedict Arnold [so we could hang him]. So, hey, Obama is just like George Washington, except that Obama succeeded in making the trade."

See, Obama just wanted Bergdahl so he could see him face justice.

Look at it this way: our Mideast policy is balanced because it is

Well, this actually has the germ of a coherent policy. In an Islamic world war, we should support bot sides in order to prolong the war as long as possible and try to encourage as many casualties on both sides as can be inflicted.

I am reminded of Henry Kissinger who when asked what we should hope for when the Iran-Iraq war broke out in the early 1980s replied, "A long bloody war with many casualties that ends in a stalemate."
