Happy Mothers Day!

Good Morning Morons. Today is Sunday, May 10, 2015, Mother's Day (Also Confederate Memorial Day in NC and SC). Instead of a "This day" thingy today lets look at Mother's day and how it got started.
The modern American holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in Grafton, West Virginia. Her campaign to make Mother's Day a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Anna's mission was to honor her own mother by continuing work she started and to set aside a day to honor mothers, "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world". Anna's mother was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother's Day Work Clubs to address public health issues.
Due to the campaign efforts of Anna Jarvis, several states officially recognized Mother's Day, the first in 1910 being West Virginia, Jarvis' home state. Jarvis' push to create an official holiday was met with opposition by some. Sen. Henry Moore Teller described the notion of Mother's Day as "absolutely absurd," and "trifling." In 1914 Woodrow Wilson signed the proclamation creating Mother's Day, the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday to honor mothers.
Although Jarvis was successful in founding Mother's Day she soon became resentful of the commercialization and was angry that companies would profit from the holiday. By the early 1920s, Hallmark and other companies started selling Mother's Day cards. Jarvis became so embittered by what she saw as misinterpretation and exploitation that she protested and even tried to rescind Mother's Day.

Mother, thank you. And to the rest of you; If you're Mom is still here, you had better go and give her a good squeeze.

Two cops in MS have been shot and killed "in the line of duty". Two perps have been identified but not caught. Little else in this article. I blame Obama and Holder and the other shit stirrers in the MFM and professional racist industry.
Update: One of the suspects has been caught and it was a traffic stop where the event occurred.

In another foreign policy win for Obama who was trying to initiate another surrender, the Norks fired a submarine launched ballistic missile and three anti ship missiles off the coast. Meanwhile their citizens continue a diet of tree bark and insects.

Yet another reason to get rid of public employee unions. The Buffalo police union got a settlement for a criminal cop caught in a drug raid who was convicted and went to jail. The settlement was for nearly $200K in back pay in a time when cities are struggling financially due to golden parachute retirements from these same unions.

The Mooch went to a racially segregated college in AL to play the race card and stir the shit pot some more. Why isn't the DOJ "investigating" these "historically black" colleges that meet none of the civil rights unofficial (and illegal) quota rules?

I think we are going to have to change Lady Boy Lindsay's rating from RINO to DIABLO. Making this statement is going to kill him SC if any of the papers cover it. And I checked, The State didn't cover it. They said he did not attend. That is more or less confirming my belief that he is there as a spoiler for conservatives. I did note that The State had several of their Daily Haley attacks on there.

Vic, according to the Hattiesburg newspaper, three persons have been picked up for the two murders. From one of them in response to a reporter's question, it appears they are related to Dindu Nuffin and I. Dunno.
One officer had been in the department for less than one year; the other was a K-9 officer.
A terrible tragedy.

The last update I saw had one picked up. I suspect that when it all comes out in the wash we will find that these perps had rap sheets longer than my johnson.
And I still blame Obama, Holder, and all the rest of the lying shit stirrers including the MFM.

My cats were ripping and tearing this morning again. So I got a couple of their fur kitty toys and put them in a jar filled with cat nip, shook it up and threw them out there for them.
They are now rolling around in the floor licking and biting and getting high.

Thanks for the VicLinks - beats trying to keep up w/the various idio.. er, "news" sources while packing up...
It's amazing how much stuff (or as the missus calls it - "your crap") one can have squirrelled away over the decades. Of course the movers would actually pack and ship everything, but if whatever it is has been sitting untouched for a decade or so, well, it's time to go.
On the other hand, it was kinda neat finding an o-ring and a couple of gaskets for a Weber carb rebuild... but I sold the car in '98.

After I got out of the Navy I moved 6 times finally winding up where I am now. In the first move I did it all in a car. By the time I made my last move to here it took several days worth of move in a truck and a car. I am scared to think what it would take now after living here for over 30 years.

If we apply the logic of Pamela Geller's critics and the logic of Baltimore protesters to the shootings in Mississippi. . .
Well, we need Obama's impartial and professional FBI to investigate the circumstances in Mississippi that provoked this. It's the only way we can be sure.
/aaakkk, I'm making myself sick just thinking the words knowing there are some sick revolutionaries who think that way.

"In the first move I did it all in a car"
Ok, now I'm laughing. First move to the area (Arlington) I fit everything (and I mean ev-er-e-thing) I owned in an early 70s Dodge pickup with room left over. Today I couldn't fit the contents of pretty much any single room in the same space.
Amazing, no?
Funny thing tho - we've made a concerted effort to give stuff away rather than tossing/selling off, and frankly I've been surprised at how much stuff other folks are not just willing, but eager to take. It's not like we live in an economically depressed area - it's central Fairfax County VA for goodness' sake - but people are watching out for deals/bargains/whatever they think they might need.
Sign o' the times, I guess. But hey, everything's coming up roses (officially speaking), amirite?

Funny thing tho - we've made a concerted effort to give stuff away rather than tossing/selling off, and frankly I've been surprised at how much stuff other folks are not just willing, but eager to take. It's not like we live in an economically depressed area - it's central Fairfax County VA for goodness' sake - but people are watching out for deals/bargains/whatever they think they might need.
Sign o' the times, I guess. But hey, everything's coming up roses (officially speaking), amirite?

It's an NBC story and you have to turn on scripts to read it, but then it's an NBC story so why would I want to read it.
How FDR created the surveillance state is a Daily Beast story and I don't go there either.

Amen.
The situation is become more dire, not less, as areas once considered somewhat immune to such economic pressures begin to feel the pinch.
Small business here are closing down, others are moving out, while all the while the Mandarins continue to mutter "la la la"
Gerry Congresscritter launched his "Thank a Fed" program, while one of our county officials (Garza) had a public rantfest over how we should "all be grateful" and pay more taxes for local government...
I too lived thru the 70s, and frankly this seems worse. Glad to be moving to Texas.

Most of the 70s I was out of the country in the Navy so I missed it. But I was back here for the Carter years and those were miserable.
As for now, I think we are in the same state we were in the Great Depression but it doesn't have the soup lines because of unemployment and welfare.
And there is a reason we are in Great Depression II. Obama is doing the dame strategy as FDR except that he is simply printing money to pay for it. And he is hiding the resultant inflation by even more lies.

I didn't see anything on that, but then again the MFM may be hiding it to cover for the idiots running the town and State. If I was one of those officers I would be looking for a job in the small town south. Initial salary will be low, the wages after 6 months will go up but not like a big city. But your life expectancy would be much greater and you would be much much happier.

I went to college in Hattiesburg. Fuckity. RIP, officers.
The two thugs are age 26 and 29 and were driving a 2000 gold Escalade at the time of the shooting. Both have extensive rap sheets.
One thing of curiosity is that one of the brothers was picked up at a hotel; he arrived there in a Hyundai with retired Army plates. I wonder who he 'borrowed' that car from?
One thing you can say about today's US; when a manhunt is on, it's rare for the perps to remain free for long. Those that do manage it usually have some skills in survival training.
Maybe TFG can muster up a minor underling to attend their funerals this time; one of the officers was black.

I said several years ago that we would not start having any recovery until Obama was out of office, and then only if a Republican would roll back every regulation and law that he pushed or his admin did via regulatory action or EO.
There is low chance of that.

but it doesn't have the soup lines"
IMO there are modern day "soup lines" - but they're not reported on.
Here in the (supposed) center of one of the wealthiest areas in the nation, support groups are maxed out, and other service organizations are struggling to keep up with demand.
I've also noted that "resale" (we used to call "junk" stores) like Habitat are booming - and not with the hipster crowd of the mid aughts, but with families. Several auto dealers who I've worked with over the years tell me that the fleet age is maxed out - wholesalers won't look at trade ins over 5/6 years old, yet the average age of cars on the road are well past that...
Add the recent rise in interest rates, and existing house sales here have now flatlined.
The signs are there for those willing and able to see.

In the local news, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R) has, or will be signing Bills to roll back the Maryland rain tax, reduce bridge and highway tolls, eliminate the monthly EZPass fee, and eliminate the requirement to submit a fired shell casing to the State Police when purchasing a new regulated firearm.
And by all accounts, the new semi-annual Maryland National Guard Urban Unrest Response Drill, Exercise Feral Yoot, was a success.

Anybody else read the National Review article in the sidebar ?Pretty good ... worth your time. Posted by: ScoggDog at May 10, 2015 08:03 AM
I tend to avoid reading anything from NR, for the same reason I don't read anything written by Poppin' Fresh and his Usual Gang of Idiots: the notion that the Game of Politics, Good Optics and Reaching Across the Aisle trumps any fight against the Choom Boy regime's treason, lawlessness, institutionalized racism and Free Shit simply sickens me.
What our government has become cannot be corrected by the sniggering and tittering of "conservative" eunuchs or nostalgia for the (overrated) days of Wm. F. Buckley. At the start, removal from office and perhaps some prison time would have help stem the tide; now, it will take more unpleasant means. And the Keyboard Komment Kommandos, who didn't have the guts to put principles ahead of expediency and all those invites to the Really Cool Kids' parties, sure as hell don't have the Dangling Courage Units to go to the mat for their country now.

So shocking no one with half a brain, it turns out using government funds to build grocery stores in "food deserts" does jack shit to improve the diets of the residents of said deserts.
It's almost as though grocery stores *gasp* avoided the areas because they knew they wouldn't be profitable.
The only think shocking about this report was that it was published in the NYT. That had to hurt.

RE: NYC food store. Interesting article. I note also it contains this old Democrat socialist saw:
It's possible that poverty itself explains a lot of the shopping
variation. In general, fresher, healthier food is more expensive to buy
than less healthy processed food. It also takes more time and resources
to cook, and keeps for fewer days.
That is an absolute lie. There is no "in general too it". Any pre-processed food cost more to buy than fresh food that you cook yourself. And Poverty has nothing to do with it when you have EBT cards, school lunch programs, and a myriad of other government free cheese.
The basic problem is laziness and sloth. Sometimes maybe ignorance of not knowing how to cook. NYC would better spend their money by bring back home economics in school in schools to teach young girls how to cook low cost meals. A meal of red beans and rice is cheap and damn easy to fix.
But that will not cure a lot of it because most of the targeted population for this problem get pregnant and drop out of school early anyway.

On the bright side, when these urban farmers' markets finally get tired of composting unsold cases of kale, they can repurpose the space to display a full line of 25-cent bags of chips. Neighborhood kids get even more starch and grease and my front yard becomes a garden of brightly colored litter.
This will be Michelle Obama's legacy.

If the steak is very lean, I sear on the stove. I like mine very very rare, so I don't bother with the oven. But for a ribeye or fattier cut of meat, I still prefer the grill.
Hoping it's nice enough today to use the grill. Scored some veal chops the other day, which I'd love to do up for lunch.

" NYC would better spend their money by bring back home economics in school in schools to teach young girls how to cook low cost meals. A meal of red beans and rice is cheap and damn easy to fix."
Yes. They had a cooking class at my high school, but I didn't even really know about it and never took it. My best friend, however, took both semesters. Fast forward a few years to when we were both married and she was able to prepare dinner from scratch for her family, while I was still making due with hamburger helper.
Obviously I learned, but I started from a disadvantage and only put in the effort to learn because my family needed to eat. Basic cooking classes should be a graduation requirement.

We have an Independent Grocer's Ass store that is half the distance to Walmart (which is sixty miles round trip), that is more of a liquor store with a grocery aisle.
It's the climate. Long cold dark winters and short grey cold damp summers lead one to think that a little whisky will help you get through the day. Then there is the slight possibility that the Native American Alcohol Gene is widely dispersed among the population. I'm not sure of that because the people running the casino don't look American Indian to me. Still, it's possible because when the fur trade died out, the voyagers assimilated into the local population. Then the Welsh moved in, and the Scandinavians.

Same for me, I didn't really start cooking until I had kids. I would call my mother and ask all kinds of stupid questions. She just laughed and said, "Didn't you watch when I was cooking." I told her no. I usually just came home and ate after a sporting event or practice.

Order a few other food items to get up to $35 and free shipping. Also no NYC or NY sales tax.
Enough food there to make a LOT of dinners for a family.
And I would be willing to bet that there are local stores in the area that have that stuff available already.

We had both home ec and shop requirements (co-ed). I don't recall much about home ec in terms of really practical things (we cooked, but I don't recall learning anything about meal planning and budgeting, for example). Best thing I learned in home ec was how to use a sewing machine.
Shop was fun (I liked drafting), but a class on simple home repairs would have been more useful, I think.
Knowing how much time is wasted with stupid stuff in grade and high schools, I really wish they'd include more practical life skills. But the kids leave thinking they know all about Global Warming, without basic algebra skills. smdh

Anybody else find it un-f*cking-believable that Michelle Obama was complaining in a commencement speech over the weekend that blacks have been "frustrated and invisible" in the U.S. for decades?
"Invisible"? You mean, other than controlling the presidency, or heading up the DOJ, or running major corporations (AmEx, McDonalds, etc.), or being major players in the entertainment industries (Will Smith, Beyonce', Jay-Z and "Dr." Dre', etc.), or dominating U.S. professional sports, right Michelle? That kind of "invisible"?
And "frustrated"? Well after decades of receiving trillions of dollars in welfare hand-outs, coupled with special government favors (affirmative action) and set-asides for minority businesses, it's no damn wonder blacks are frustrated. The government has parked its ten-ton ass on the scales in favor of blacks for decades now, and they're still failing at an astonishing rate.

I learned to cook by necessity. Trial by fire and a couple of good simple cookbooks. Also, being dead broke and in grad school hundreds of miles from any family was a great motivator.
Husband endured a few bad meals the first 6 months or so, but after that I seemed to get the hang of it. It helps that I like to cook and used to enjoy watching my mom and grandmother cook.

My mother had five kids. All are still alive, as far as we know; middle son, my older brother, has been utterly estranged from us all for many years, though. Prayers welcome on that one. Although four of us five gave mom grandkids, oddly, only estranged son's kids have yet given her great-grandkids.
My wife gave us three kids, our daughter and our fraternal-twin sons. All are still alive, as far as we know. Seriously, all seem to have their health and stay in touch. Married son surprised us by saying he's driving up to visit today, sans spouse.
My daughter was married to a true schizo for exactly one year. Their baby didn't make it past three months in the womb, and is buried out there in the west yard in the mimosa grove. That little one would've been in grade school by now That's as close to being grandparents as we've come. God bless my daughter's broken heart and loving soul. (I'd mention she's not 19 anymore, but she's available, guys, but I'm not sure what moron could handle me as a father in law and vice versa.)
Mothers take it in the heart.

Little VIA is taking International Cooking (Or something like that) in 11th grade.
Straight A's (The only class where he has good grades), and every girl there comes up to him for cooking tips and help in preparing the food.
He has his mothers gene for walking into a kitchen, and starting to throw stuff together from scratch.
Making home made crepes for several of the neighbor women for Mothers Day today.
As to the NYC food study...
Cooking is work.
Some people don't like to cook
Some people don't like to work.
Some people don't like to cook or work.
And yes, some people work so many minimum wage jobs in order to pay the bills, that they don't have time to cook.
And those are the ones I feel sorry for.

He noted that while little of nutritional value was purchased by your standard issue Yob, and the store stock reflected that accordingly, the ethnic markets were bursting with fresh fruits and vegetables because the locals bought and prepared them, and the markets flourished without government prodding.

When we were kids, my mom had each of us in turn (7 boys) plan a meal menu, accompany her to the store, buy the ingredients and prepare a meal for the entire family (couple of times a year or so). She didn't help with the actual cooking unless she had to step in with a fire extinguisher.
All I can tell you from that experience is that tuna casserole is really crunchy if you don't boil the macaroni before you put it in the casserole dish.

I very rarely buy myself "fast food" but husband was away last week so I hit up DairyQueen for lunch. Shocked by how expensive it was. I'm amazed some people rely on that sort of food for a significant part of their diet, not b/c of the "health concerns" but just the cost.
My DQ lunch was about 11 bucks. Calorie-wise I'm sure it was enough for the day, but satisfaction-wise it certainly wasn't.
If they keep pushing minimum wage up, the fast food places will no longer be an option.
All restaurants will be Taco Bell.

The first step in learning how to cook if you are starting on your own is to buy a Betty Crocker Cookbook. It will start you out from scratch and include some damn fine recipes.

"Shocked by how expensive it was. "
Yeah, that's what I just don't get. People talk about "cheap" fast food, but it's nearly impossible to feed my family of 6 for less than $20 at any fast food place. That's spending a whole day's worth of food money on one meal.

LOL, even Taco Bell is "fast food" and after the unions finish with MickyD they will go after all the rest.
And I very seldom go for fast food either except an occasional monster biscuit from Hardees (~1000 calories). But no longer cook much anymore either and that is mostly breakfast, hamburgers, or steaks.
Mostly I east TV dinners. It is hard to cook for one and then wind up having to freeze 75% of it.

In the 7th grade we all, boys and girls, had to take a round of classes to include home ec (basic cookery and meal planning), sewing, and shop class.
Cooking wasn't necessary for me, because I learned more from Mom and her Betty Crocker cookbook, but for lots of kids it's the first time they turn on an oven or learn how to measure ingredients. That can only be worse now in the era of nukeable cuisine.
I did not learn by observation when it came to sewing. Mom was a wonderful seamstress who hated sewing and what I picked up was, wait until there's a sale at Sak's. She had to help me with my sewing projects or I would have flunked.
What I remember most from shop class was our terrifying shop teacher (with a couple stumps and a glass eye - classic!) and the sphincter-tightening whir of the band saw. I came out of that class with a functional door stop, a wooden box, and all my fingers, so mission accomplished.

#139. Anybody else find it un-f*cking-believable that Michelle Obama was
complaining in a commencement speech over the weekend that blacks have
been "frustrated and invisible" in the U.S. for decades?
Well I never see them in sporting events or on any TV shows or movies or elected officials. Why it's just like the 50s the 1850s in poor little Michelle's world of privilege but still pretending to be working the fields on a plantation.

I would say that it is impossible.
Here, a 1/4 pounder value meal will set you back around $7.00.
Maybe if each of the six gets a double burger off the $1.00 menu board, and you all split a large fry, and drink water out of the restroom sink.

re: Cooking
I was lucky. My Mom 'encouraged' me to cook, starting as a preschooler prepping veggies and the like. As I got older, I was given a knife to cut onions, etc. She said she 'never wanted a son of hers to grow up as ignorant in the kitchen as their father'. I still love to cook, using recipes and creating as I go.
One of the best books I ever bought (now all you need is the innertubes) was a paperback book on herbs and spices, and what items each goes well with. That taught me a lot and allowed me to create my own recipes, some of which change with each making but some of which are set in stone (so to speak).
My Mom's Betty Crocker Cookbook from the '40s was falling apart when I was young, held together by rubber bands.

I went on a church-fundraiser-cookbook binge. I bought a bunch of those comb-bound cookbooks at various thrift shops to try new recipes, and teach myself how to cook.
Some I kept because I used them, some I gave back because the recipes depended on pre-made items. I probably won't ever make a casserole topped with crushed ritz crackers, for example.
I did start my own cooking book where, if I got a recipe that worked a couple of times and I wanted to make it in the future, I wrote it down in a journal that lives in the kitchen. That one gets stained with oil and gravy and the others stay clean.
It helps organize things in my head when I write them down.
Oh, and lentils and rice are a little cheaper and far faster to cook than rice and beans. You don't have to pre-soak lentils.

"79
but it doesn't have the soup lines"
IMO there are modern day "soup lines" - but they're not reported on.
Here in the (supposed) center of one of the wealthiest areas in the
nation, support groups are maxed out, and other service organizations
are struggling to keep up with demand.
I've also noted that "resale" (we used to call "junk" stores) like
Habitat are booming - and not with the hipster crowd of the mid aughts,
but with families. Several auto dealers who I've worked with over the
years tell me that the fleet age is maxed out - wholesalers won't look
at trade ins over 5/6 years old, yet the average age of cars on the road
are well past that...
Add the recent rise in interest rates, and existing house sales here have now flatlined.
The signs are there for those willing and able to see.

"The basic problem is laziness and sloth. Sometimes
maybe ignorance of not knowing how to cook. NYC would better spend their
money by bring back home economics in school in schools to teach young
girls how to cook low cost meals. A meal of red beans and rice is cheap
and damn easy to fix.
But that will not cure a lot of it
because most of the targeted population for this problem get pregnant
and drop out of school early anyway.

I would guess ignorance is an awful lot of it. Probably some time in elementary school, before they get pregnant and drop out, kids should probably get some basic lessons in how to fry eggs, cook oatmeal and make macaroni and cheese. Maybe have more advanced classes on stuff like grilled cheese sandwiches, tuna noodle casserole, spagetti with bottled sauce, fish sticks and baked potatoes for the kids who have a real interest in continuing to learn.

Can he post it again with comments locked? It was an excellent post.
Although I have to say its ironic to pull it when the day's topic is sticking to your guns on free speech....
I didn't comment on the thread, but I'm sure I knew where the IQ territory went. Funny how we aren't allowed to discuss uncomfortable truths.

Well, it started snowing about 4 yesterday, electricity went off about 7, basement flooded and electricity came back about an hour ago. Lots of cleanup to do in the basement. I'm ready to sell this place and move into a condo.
