Full disclosure. Husband and I live in a gated community. We're not wealthy. I clean my own house. We just recently hired a yard service because husband works 6-6 1/2 days a week.
So, we go to our local club to sit at the bar for dinner. And then I discover we're sitting next to this ass: 399 I really, really want to regale the Horde with the NYC jackass I sat next to tonight. He was wearing a pink button-down shirt and baby blue cable knit sweater vest, and so full of himself. He was a Very Important Person in NYC advertising. Doesn't know how he's surviving here in the South. He went on. And on. To his silent "friend" victim. Husband wasn't within earshot, or he would have chucked the jackass on his shoulder with a "Bully for you!" It got worse. Much worse. Posted by: Jane D'oh at March 27, 2015 10:21 PM (FsuaD) 53

That sign sort-of made sense in the 1980s before they were screening blood transfusions very well. Isaac Asimov, who didn't do any of the shit you mentioned, got HIV that way. By the late 1980s? Nah.

So Ace put up a post about Phil Robertson yesterday/day before. I didn't comment on it cause my opinion on Ace's grasp of christianity is best left inside my own noggin. Then tonight I see that Ben Howe had written somewhat of a response to ace. It started as a response directly at ace, but then went more into what Robertson was, very poorly, talking about. I tweeted out a link to the article and said that I thought Ben Howe had written a good response to Ace's post. Ka-Boom Posted by: BCochran1981 - Credible Hulk at March 27, 2015 10:30 PM (GEICT) 106

Been on a Hendrix kick lately. Last night I listened to about half a dozen different live versions of "Machine Gun" each clocking in at around 12 minutes. I get chills up and down my spine when he somehow squeezes out the notes of "Taps" while playing the main riff. I believe "Machine Gun" is one of his greatest songs. That and "Red House."

"Yeah, but I'm sure the deal has already been made for Pakistani nukes... check is just waiting for signature..."
Word is the Saudi's heavily financed the original Pak' effort in the 1970s so they've sorta paid it forward. That said, the Saudis would need serious help deploying them. If they can be air-dropped then aircraft have to be modded to arm/accept them, crews need to be trained on using, etc. If simply missile-born, the MRBMs need to be modded and tested with the warheads to see if they'll even mate up, then a testing regimen will need to happen to see if they can be reliably used together. In either case a special branch will have to be created to develop protocols, manage the inventory, maintain control, and, so on. Posted by: Ricardo Kill at March 27, 2015 11:01 PM (ipqYf) 253

It's not so much that he is someone so soon...some folks don't like to be alone. My FIL is such a man, and I was glad he found someone after my MIL passed.

"That said, the Saudis would need serious help deploying them. If they can be air-dropped then aircraft have to be modded to arm/accept them, crews need to be trained on using, etc." Back in the '70s, when the Indians and Pakistanis were suspected of trying to develop indigenous atomic bomb designs and production, the initial speculation was that delivery would be by commercial aircraft ... most likely out the rear exit of a 727. Minimal modification would be needed, and 727s were very popular at the time. Today, the Saudis could do essentially the same thing. Given the availability of used airliners and (ex-Russian) transport aircraft, I think additional delivery work is unnecessary. Posted by: Arbalest at March 27, 2015 11:09 PM (FlRtG) 284
Golf clap,
Posted by: Misanthropic Humanitarian at March 27, 2015 10:59 PM (K4xGQ) I thank you. The truck was essentially assigned to me (1984 plain Ford) so I cut the holes for the cheapest radio I could find, wired it to the leads for the (non-existent) cigarette lighter, put some cheap speakers behind the seats, and set the antenna behind the cab, fastened to the lip of the box. It worked. Posted by: Mikey NTH - Walker Brand Skull Polish Only at the Outrage Outlet! at March 27, 2015 11:09 PM (K/tQx) 285
I worked, for a time, in a prefab housing factory. Guy shot a nail into his foot, and they took him to the Emergency Room.
The ER Dr was very confused and finally asked the guy, "Why didn't you stop hammering?" That was back in the day when pneumatic nailers were not common. They tried to explain it to the ER Dr. Posted by: W.Clifford at March 27, 2015 11:10 PM (DFBEl) 286

Jane, guys that get themselves into a relationship after their wife dies generally live longer. The girlfriend won't replace your BFF, but she might keep your friend alive a bit longer. If I'm saying something out of turn, I apologize. Posted by: fairweatherbill at March 27, 2015 11:05 PM (o/3Hk) I do get it. The "new" girlfriend was a high school friend. I met her briefly this fall in ATL at a fundraiser. She's very nice. It's just tough that I'm still grieving my BFF and husband's BFF immediately began dated this woman less than two months after his wife was in her grave. His son, by the way, is being married in May, and he's less than happy with his dad. Well, anyhow, they'll be sleeping down the hall in the guest bedroom this weekend. I'm sad and miss my BFF.

Well, not exactly. Bill sold them warhead guidance tech from the 90's. Probably what they are still using to point them at us today. I don't the stuff the Saudi's bought would have that.

257--The "Machine Gun" you refer to is from the Fillmore East, New Year's Eve 69/70, and the solo is spine-tingling. The consensus among Hendrix freaks is that those shows, Winterland, Berkely and The Royal Albert Hall are among his greatest performances. "Hey Baby" from Berkely is amazing.

THIS! The Saudis will own whatever they want to own and they will get it as fast as they want it. TFG is in for a big surprise if this turns into a cage fight. Posted by: Peaches at March 27, 2015 11:03 PM (EgOr3) The Saudis are already keeping Egypt afloat economically; no surprise they call in some markers from the Arab country with the largest population and military. Speaking religiously (which I ought not do) and power-politically (which - hey, why not) there can be only one Caliph. So you got Iran, KSA, and (potentially) Turkey duking it out over the carcass of the Middle East with Israel trying to stay out of the cross-fire. Other than hoping for a high body count I can't see anything getting better over there in less than a decade.

A guy came in to the clinic my dad worked in as a Doc with a nail through his boot into his toe. They were not an ER so they were about to send him away. Dad asks "do you want to go to the ER or I can run across the street to the hardware store and get some side cutters and take it out. That was the option the construction worker took. and it saved him some coin. Likely against some law now.

I just cleaned it again looking at it, I realize that it went cleanly through the meat of my index finger, and made a small hole in middle finger. Kinda cool.

"Eh, that's just a horrible way to try to deliver a nuke if you've got any tech on hand. They are slow, detectable, easily defeatable." You assume that the AC involved is known or highly suspected of being weaponized. Given the lifting capability of most airliners, and the prevalence of air routes, that's not a good assumption, certainly not for a surprise attack. "You want a quick, low detectable way of delivering them." Iran does not possess the radar systems that Saudi Arabia has sufficient mountains along the border with Oman and Yemen, and is mostly desert. They do have the money to buy sufficient air defences though. Bht both sides are vulnerable to commercial flights that fly in to their respective countries ... without or with passengers.

"You're assuming a) declared hostilities and b) they care about the
pilot/delivery means surviving. EASIEST way in the world is for spoofed IFFs with nuke in the cargo hold of a commercial airliner, detonate on approach to the runway." For AQ or ISIS, that's a great terror weapon. When you are trying to hit strategic military targets, not so much. Nobody just starts flying commercial airplanes into commercial airports one day. Airlines, plane numbers, flight numbers, routes.....all tagged. Have to pass serious regulatory anal probings. No "unknown" airliner just comes in for a landing. IFFs are linked to known carriers and when it don't add up, shit happens. Posted by: Ricardo Kill at March 27, 2015 11:36 PM (ipqYf) 388

"You want a quick, low detectable way of delivering them." Iran does not possess the radar systems that we our military possesses. Flying to Iran from the Persian Gulf region involves flying over mountains and vast expanses of desert/dry lake; mountains sizeable enough to make radar coverage tough, and dry lake areas with no one there. Saudi Arabia has sufficient mountains along the border with Oman and Yemen, and is mostly desert. They do have the money to buy sufficient air defences though. Bht both sides are vulnerable to commercial flights that fly in to their respective countries ... without or with passengers. The various scenarios get real ugly real fast ... and portend badly for the future of everyone." With airliners? No. Air routes are not "free range" zones.

BCochran, I'm listening to your podcast from last week now. I'm at the point where you're talking about Scott Walker and his pandering, and I have to agree it's a big disappointment after he built such a solid record of fighting the Left and winning.
I guess the real problem is, he's apparently not willing to fight the Republican establishment. And they're just a much a part of the problem as leftists. If he's elected, it seems we can expect more of the same. Oh, he'll still fight the worst elements of the Left, except, apparently, on those occasions when the Repug Establishment is willing to "reach across the aisle" and "get things done". And then it looks like he'll fall in line. I apologize whole-heartedly to everyone who listened when I talked up Scott Walk-Back. I was wrong. He's still an awesome governor, but he clearly does not have what it takes to kick ass and chew bubble gum in Washington. I guess I'm a Ted Cruz man, now.

They are in constant contact with them. Schedules are known well in advance and if something "funny" shows up the shit hits the fan. You're assuming too much. You're assuming the more-or-less reality of Chicago-O'Hare, or LAX or Atlanta or NYC-Kennedy, and United, Delta, American, .... which would take a lot of spoofing to fail. Let's go for small AC from a smaller airline, maybe carrying freight, maybe a 737, or maybe even better, and AN-12 (4 turboprops, cruises at 400kt, ...), and destined for a large of even regional airport. One such AC takes off from Tashkent, bound for Jalalabad, and "disappears" over the Hindu Kush, or maybe from Aden, bound for Karachi, and "gets lost" over the Arabian Sea. An AN-12 has the payload and range for a 1-way trip to Natanz ... There are plenty of places in the Indian Ocean where there is no tower control.

Ya, I dunknow if there is a Federal Prosecutor who would attempt to prosecute the wife of a former president who is also a potential presidential candidate. Not without an explicit order to prosecute or not prosecute from the current president.
That would be getting up into Stalin/Trotsky territory there I would think.

Link to 'What I saw at the coup.' http://tinyurl.com/mzohe6b I knew it was finished when I was driving up I-95 from Virginia into the city at dawn. From a long way off I saw the two bodies hanging from the overpass. Northbound rush-hour traffic was crawling, so I had a long time to look. I was driving my mother's Acura, wearing a blond wig and big sunglasses. There was no security in recognizable security anymore. A convoy of black full-size SUVs was liable to become a bullet magnet on any highway around DC. I was safer in the white Acura, but feeling very, very alone. Their ropes were tied to the guard rail above their heads. They were clothed, thankfully, and hooded. Black military-style fatigue uniforms, and bare feet. Their swollen hands were bound behind their backs. The two bodies were slowly twisting without any visible movement to recover them. This told me the bridge might be under a sniper's observation, holding the police at bay while keeping the corpses in view of thousands of Washington's morning commuters, half of them federal employees. A chill feeling, being in range of a right-wing sniper. A white bed sheet hanging between the two bodies was marked with black spray-painted lettering.

No, I am not. Plenty of places in the Indian for it to crash? Yeah. To land. No. Note that the planes I list have ranges of 2000+ miles. Maybe a 737 has short legs ... there are plenty of 707s and competitors out there. Landing in the I.O. is not needed; having the range,and payload, and evading tower control long enough to make any reappearance seem "expected" are the points. Further, an Iran-vs-SA-and allies assumes the resources to provide sufficiently-large aircraft, local, even hidden airstrips, get the local civilian carriers to cooperate/look-the-other-way. Having a regularly scheduled flight take off, then have the weaponized plane shadow it through any necessary air-control areas is sufficient to get the weapon near enough to the target ... this assumes that no fighters come and take a look. There are, of course, variations on this plan. Posted by: Arbalest at March 28, 2015 12:12 AM (FlRtG) 510

I've played occasionally with nail guns, and rather more with bigger power tools, but I've never hurt myself on one.

The deed is done. The Mint distro makes it so easy, a Moron could do it. Didn't even have to shut down the PC. Just hit the "Install Mint" button on the desktop, and when prompted for the install type (it detected Win7 was present), I selected "erase disc, and install Mint.

Obama is a textbook narcissist. He meets every criteria there is.
And yes, there is definitely a plan. But it's not his plan. He did not become President by his own efforts. That would require ambition, drive, and single-minded determination. He gives no evidence of any of that. He is notoriously lazy, and was totally unqualified for that position. Throughout his whole life, his path has been smoothed, connections made, and doors opened for him at opportune times. This was not coincidence or happenstance, and he himself seems to believe that he was born to rule. He was placed in his role. And it is a role. He is a frontman. But for whom? We know that George Soros was an early supporter. But I don't believe that he is the only one. Could Russia have been involved? Obama's ties to Communism go back to his birth. There is a concerted effort to destroy Western civilization, and it goes far beyond Obama. We are told by the multiculturalists that every culture is equal, except for Western culture, which is uniquely evil. We are told that all races are equal, except for the white race, which bears historic guilt that can never be expiated. Every race and ethnic group deserves a homeland, yet historically white nations in Europe and North America are being deliberately flooded with alien immigrants who will irrevocably change the culture and destroy what was. The Palestinians deserve a homeland, but a Jewish homeland is illegitimate. America has made heroic progress in race relations over the past 50 years or so, and that has been systematically destroyed over the past six years. Obama never misses an opportunity to inflame racial hatred. I said years ago that the main obstacles to World Government were the United States economy and the United States military. Both are under unremitting attack. The nation itself is being fragmented and will probably be broken up. I can only conclude that we are being "softened up" and conditioned to accept World Government as the only solution. I would still like to know precisely who is behind all this. I assume it is a multinational elite who don't believe in national borders and consider themselves "citizens of the world". Posted by: rickl at March 28, 2015 01:16 AM (sdi6R) 576

Iomme was unwilling to give up playing guitar after that, so he had to reinvent his style completely. He had to wear caps on his fingers, he used banjo strings because they're a little softer, and he came up with a louder and more plodding style. He took his reinvented playing style to his band, and said, hey, check this out! Skeeter Barnes heard this weird new style of playing guitar, and responded with, hey, I can work with that! This all added up to the invention of heavy metal, and the birth of Black Sabbath. Posted by: Prothonotary Warbler at March 28, 2015 01:33 AM (a5m3K) 592

And time moves so slowly and you watch it coming toward you and you are bracing for impact Posted by: ThunderB, Shapeshifter at March 28, 2015 01:36 AM (zOTsN) I've been feeling that way for a couple of years now......pretty much since TARP and QE1.

it's amazing to watch. I've played a bunch of gigs with him and we'll be over in the corner of a little dive bar and some drummer will walk in. At first (being drummers) their only concern is T-n-A and getting a drink. Then they turn around to check out the drummer. Their jaw always hits the floor when they see the wheelchair. It gets even funnier when I get to watch their faces when he starts playing double bass licks. There is not one of them that can do them like him. Posted by: jc at March 28, 2015 02:12 AM (iRJ+A) 663

The thought had crossed my mind, actually. I am progressing up the metalworking learning curve, considering my options as I go.

There is not one of them that can do them like him. Posted by: jc at March 28, 2015 02:12 AM (iRJ+A) How the hell is that even possible? Double bass? Why is he in a wheel chair? Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at March 28, 2015 02:14 AM (FMbng) ====he's in a wheel chair cuz he was riding a cafe racer like a drummer when it started to rain. he didn't play again for decades. then somebody talked him into it. at first he tried to record the bass, etc, and none of that shit worked. then he hit on it --- he uses electric drum pads strategically placed inside an acoustic set. he has a pad just beside his snare and more pads directly below some symbols. so, mostly he plays bass and snare with one hand just going back and forth between 'em. then he plays everything else with the other hand. he also plays bass on the downstroke below symbols, and sometimes he plays symbols going up and bass going back down. he has 2 hi-hats and he keeps one closed and another one he can set a various open positions. he also programs drum pads with hi-hat open in the middle of the pad and hi-hat closed on the edge of the pad. he plays double bass licks on either pad with his sticks and gets crazy rolling triplets that just kill. his other main rig is a zen drum. he plays that really well, too. he complains about it not being able to play softly when he wants. and, he has a conga/bongo/djembe rig. he is passable on that, but he'd be really good if he hung out with some good latin players for a couple months.

The Dave Clark Five also have the dubious distinction of being the only band ever two have two completely different Top 40 hits that had the same name! ("Everybody Knows.")
They released a song in 1964 called "Everybody Knows" that was a minor Top 40 hit. Then, three years later, having apparently completely forgotten about this existence of that song, they wrote and released a totally different new song, also calling it "Everybody Knows" -- and this new one was also a Top 40 hit!

So there was less happening to cover. I still get out occasionally. And who knows what the future may bring? The nation may erupt into riots under the brutal fist of President Cruz/Walker/Rubio.

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division No, it is weird to have the drummer be the lead singer.

As exhibit A, I offer Donatello's David -- http://tinyurl.com/pkvzsj9 -- a 3-foot statue at the Bargello (former jail) gallery in Florence, Italy [which also has the Uffizi gallery, which were former government offices]. For a male nude, this is an enormously attractive piece of art to cis-males. From the flowing tresses and flowery hat to the slightly awkward pose so familiar to anime fans....from the callipygous outline to the androgynous face......but, then, you consider the context. Donatello, himself, was a flaming pederast interested in expanding homosexual acceptance and recruiting potential sex partners. Of course, he created a "billboard" to put the best face possible on his desires. In his day, if he could get you to buy into this minimally masculine cute figure, he could start bending the curve further and further...until truly bent. And it's true -- the male vision-processing system locks onto T+A and tracks it by default. It's very easy to fool. But it isn't real interest, it's a reflex -- and no flowery hats or cute poses will carry it further.

Gay white men now forbidden from acting like sassy black women "Put forward by the NUS LGBT Committee, they believe the appropriation of black women by white gay men is prevalent within the LGBTI scene and community. ‘This may be manifested in the emulation of the mannerisms, language (particularly AAVE- African American Vernacular English) and phrases that can be attributed to black women. White gay men may often assert that they are “strong black women” or have an “inner black woman”,’ they said. ‘White gay men are the dominant demographic within the LGBT community, and they benefit from both white privilege and male privilege.’" This is real -- not a parody.

The reason we can't stop it is because about half the country wants to embark on a socialist Utopian experiment in free stuff, short work weeks, and high hourly wages for unskilled of labor. The left has spent the past 30 years running the schools, and they have been peddling this garbage long enough to convince people that capitalism and free markets were the cause of the whole economic melt down in 2008. People actually believe this lie. This is what the problem is. It's the public that stinks here, and yeah, the politicians are all too happy to right along with it! The Republican party is worthless and broadly considered to be the racist party, and the Democratic party has been taken over by Utopian socialist radicals. Once all the immigrants from Latin America get their amnesty, there will no longer be a Republican party. It will be done in about 10 years at most.

As part of the art commentary upthread, I recalled visiting the Villa Borghese when I was 15....and playing frisbee with some Italians on one of the lawns there.

"The Second Coming" by W. B. Yeats --
Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand; A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: `My name is Obamandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away". Posted by: cthulhu at March 28, 2015 05:03 AM (T1005) 885

But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing, A mighty fountain momently was forced: Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail, Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail: And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever It flung up momently the sacred river. Five miles meandering with a mazy motion Through wood and dale the sacred river ran, Then reached the caverns measureless to man, And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean: And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far Ancestral voices prophesying war! The shadow of the dome of pleasure Floated midway on the waves; Where was heard the mingled measure From the fountain and the caves. It was a miracle of rare device, A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice! Posted by: cthulhu at March 28, 2015 05:17 AM (T1005) Posted by: Lace Wig Emporium at March 28, 2015 05:21 AM (6yehy) 890

Take up the White Man's burden, Send forth the best ye breed
Go bind your sons to exile, to serve your captives' need; To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild-- Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child. Take up the White Man's burden, In patience to abide, To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain To seek another's profit, And work another's gain. Take up the White Man's burden, The savage wars of peace-- Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought, Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought. Take up the White Man's burden, No tawdry rule of kings, But toil of serf and sweeper, The tale of common things. The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread, Go mark[14] them with your living, And mark them with your dead. Take up the White Man's burden And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard-- The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:-- "Why brought he us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?" Take up the White Man's burden, Ye dare not stoop to less-- Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloke your weariness; By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do, The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your gods and you. Take up the White Man's burden, Have done with childish days-- The lightly proferred laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise. Comes now, to search your manhood, through all the thankless years Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment of your peers! Posted by: cthulhu at March 28, 2015 05:28 AM (T1005) 895

Was Kipling talking specifically about the English colonials in India, or England in general, or Europe in general? It could well apply to all of the above.
And having never travelled to such hellholes, or shouldered such a burden so acutely, I still feel that I know exactly what he meant. I know not if that is the gift of his poetry, or the curse of the modern connected world. Posted by: Conservative Crank at March 28, 2015 05:34 AM (WUYpW) 899

Posted by: Conservative Crank at March 28, 2015 05:34 AM (WUYpW) The poem was originally published in 1899 with the subtitle "The United States and the Philippine Islands" -- but was probably meant to pass on some wisdom from the UK's much-repeated experience in faraway lands to a relative n00b who had acquired the Philippines the year before. It wouldn't have referred to Europe in general, as their intentions in their colonies weren't based on the same worldview. Posted by: cthulhu at March 28, 2015 05:45 AM (T1005) 910
