Court Tells Little Sisters of the Poor: COMPLY with Contraception Mandate
And I-Can't-Believe-It's-Only-Tuesday Open Thread
Horrible world, horrible age, horrible country.
Open thread. I'm bushed and I need time off before the Brad Thor interview. I've got your questions, but no, I won't be asking him why he doesn't write like Edgar Allen Poe. Oh, so far in the book race, it's 1 for Dickens, 3 for PG Wodehouse, 5 apiece for Sowell and Hoffer , six for Sherlock Holmes, and, pulling away from the pack, 9 for Dracula. But a lot can change quickly. Ten minutes ago, Dracula had zero, then a bunch of vampires flapped in. Oh, and speaking of vampires: #Science says we need to start accepting that some vampires -- "real vampires" -- are born this way and should be treated as if they're not batty. If they claim they suck nourishment from blood, or even from "psychic energy" from cuddling or whatever, we have to pretend along with their lunacy, because Science.Comments

The flyby occurred at 7:49 am this morning, but the spacecraft was too busy gathering data to contact Earth. At that distance it takes 4.5 hours for radio transmissions to reach Earth, traveling at the speed of light.
The moment when it crossed the plane of the moons' orbits is the most dangerous, because that is where any debris is likely to be. A collision with even a small chunk would destroy the probe.
New Horizons was scheduled to "phone home" at about 4:27 pm Eastern, and the signal is expected to be received about 8:53 pm. NASA TV will have live coverage starting at 8:30. Keep your fingers crossed.
If the spacecraft is still healthy, it will take 16 months to transmit all of the data and photos it has collected.

the reading experience is not like the watching experience. also, I haven't really seen "Dracula, the book" as most change it.
Tom Wolfe was asked in the late eighties if he was excited that they were making a movie about Bonfire of the Vanities, excited to see it on screen.
He said no. He said he was happy to have the check, and he wished them well, but he didn't care to see it.
The reporter asked him why.
He said, "I've already seen Bonfire of the Vanities in its finished form. It was the Bonfire of the Vanities book I wrote. What they are doing is not Bonfire of the Vanities; they are doing some film that has Tom Hanks in it called Bonfire of the Vanities. Has nothing to do with me or the book. Entirely different thing."
Well, I'm making that up from memory, but that was the gist.

"Spode is modelled after Sir Oswald Mosley,[1] leader of the British Union of Fascists, who were nicknamed the blackshirts. Spode was at first an 'amateur dictator' who led a farcical group of fascists called the Saviours of Britain, better known as the Black Shorts. Spode adopted black shorts as a uniform because, according to Gussie Fink-Nottle in The Code of the Woosters, "by the time Spode formed his association, there were no shirts left" – alluding to various fascist or right-radical groups: Mussolini's Blackshirts, Hitler's brownshirts, the Irish Blueshirts and Greenshirts, the South African Greyshirts, Mexico's Gold shirts, and the American Silver Shirts. Bertie Wooster believes that wearing black shorts is an extreme social and sartorial faux pas (shorts being inappropriate for a grown man outside a sporting context) and uses it to make fun of Spode:
The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you're someone. You hear them shouting "Heil, Spode!" and you imagine it is the Voice of the People. That is where you make your bloomer. What the Voice of the People is saying is: "Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?"

"given the topic, the nature of the tool, and the current privacy climate it's a strange coincidence that a tool with such value and usefulness would be promoted and then removed from the public."
"I don't believe in coincidences."
"Could have Caudill changed his mind? Yes, but that's unlikely, because he was excited to release this tool and share the information with the public and protect those who are most at risk for using their voice.
Therefore, while it is pure speculation on my part since no one can speak on record, it would look as if a higher power namely the U.S. Government has put their foot down and killed this talk."

Sackett is a good intro into his Sacket family series. Tucker, a stand alone novel, is one of his best ones overall, IMHO.
L'Amour tends to vary a lot in quality - he did a lot of pulp-fiction stuff on one hand, and his longer novels tend to get into a lot of windy pontificating on the other. The Sackett family series tend to be among his better ones.

257 no to haunted mesa; it's sci-fi.
If I read Louis L'Amour, I want to read the classic sort of Louis L'Amour, not an excursion into another genre.
Robert E Howard wrote boxing and wrestling stories but if we did REH it would be Conan!

Sackett series is excellent

Michelle has already gotten to Cap'n Crunch and kraft mac 'n cheese and leaned on them to change their ingredients, though....
I was too slow to stockpile the mac n cheese. I probably should hit the dollar stores to see if they still have the real deal.
Posted by: no good deed at July 14, 2015 08:24 PM
You can make your own Mac 'n Cheese mix using food storage. The vital ingredient goes by different names, depending on your supplier -- ThriveLife calls it "cheese blend," Honeyville calls it "cheese sauce powder" and "powdered cheese." You get the idea.
Measure out the amount in the cheese packet to figure out how much cheese powder to use, and follow the same directions as on your box. Voila! Or do an internet search on "macaroni and cheese from food storage" and you'll find what you need.
Be sure to check the ingredients list on whatever you're looking at; the product varies by seller... some versions are better (less fillers, less artificial colors and flavors) than others.

We have to think of the media landscape as a battle-space. The media are not there to present the facts, they exist to push a narrative and SILENCE ALL OPPONENTS. They often act in coincidence or collusion - after all, they all run in the same social circles and read the same self-masturbatory delusional nonsense presented as fact. They exist to win and win BIG.
The big media is like big guns. We have one good-size gun (Fox News), and we can occasionally flank with the internet and talk radio. The problem is we're going up against several smaller guns (CNN, MSNBC, BBC, AlJazeera, etc) and 3 monstrous ones that we can't hope to touch: ABC, NBC, and CBS.
How do you silence big guns that have the high ground? Well, there's air strikes: what would the equivalent of this be? There's retaliatory fire, but we've already established that we're massively out-gunned, so that won't work. There's sabotage - intentionally feeding them bullshit stories that are straight up lies but have just enough "truthiness" to slip in and letting them blow up in their faces. We could go after the gun operators, picking off individual reporters by exposing their secrets (I'm not talking biases, I'm talking divorces, accidents, criminal charges, etc.) There's sappers, going after their advertisers and undermining their cash flow.
And then there's direct action.
I'm talking about crashing their corporate headquarters - showing up and occupying the foyer, blocking their parking lots, pulling standard left-wing hassle bullshit. Non-stop.
These people are actively helping the apocalypse. Time to stop waiting for some half-ass milquetoast pussy of a candidate to go after these fucksticks. The only one with half a ball is the crazy flip-flopper, and the only reason he is showing so strong is because he's the only saying America should win and not qualifying it.

The first planetary flyby was Mariner 2 in 1962. The first Moon flyby was Russia's Luna 1 in 1959. The first attempt to launch a rocket to the Moon was on August 17, 1958. (It failed.)
All of that has occurred during my lifetime. I am indeed fortunate to be living during this era, one of the most remarkable periods in all of human history. Today marked the end of the initial era of solar system exploration. I was alive during the whole time, although I was too young to remember the missions before Mariner 4.

Apparently, it's not exactly uncommon to have other concerns involved when a woman is stoned to death for adultery. Iirc, in the Soraya movie,i.e. The one about the Iranian woman who was stoned, the husband's desire for a wife to replace the accused may have been the primary impetus for the adultery claim.

topics for discussion. It's about the world after the "Flame Deluge"
(nuclear war), and is centered in a monastery in the southwestern US,
whose purpose is the preservation of knowledge, specifically scientific
books and printed matter. Because after the Flame Deluge, the masses
went crazy, murdering scientists and burning books.

They're cis and we're trans?
Just saw one of those repulsive and whiny Liberty Mutual car insurance ads. Would love to see a retake of one where the spokesjerk gets a "Nancy Kerrigan". NOW you've got something to whine about, beeyotches!

Same here.
I also weary of the Subaru commercials that portray a nuclear warm, traditional family..., except, they are hipsters.

But because I wasn't a Southern Man,
I didn't fight.
Then they came for Little Sisters of the Poor.
But because I wasn't Catholic,
I didn't fight.
Then they came for the Libertarians.
But because I wasn't one,
I didn't fight.
Then they came for me.
No one was left to defend me.

I wish there were more men in this world like that British governor in India, who told the locals that they could follow their warped senses of honor and tradition and burn the living wives along with their dead husbands, but then his honor would compel him to follow the British tradition which was to hang every participant by the neck until dead.
They put a stop to it. That's how you deal with savages.

I never thought I would endorse a PBS show, but y'all need to head over to pbs.org and watch Frontline: Escaping ISIS.
While watching, ponder this. WTF is the US doing? Wait, scratch that. WTF isn't the US doing SHIT?
Example: one Yazidi (the star of the show) notes that an ISIS position is only a km away.
OK. There is a known ISIS position. WTF isn't there an armed US drone dropping their asses? WTF isn't a crack naval aviator lighting their asses up?
Oh yeah: because TFG is a SCOAMT, or whatever Allen says

funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive
we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall
therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is
consumed. Let us all act according to national customs." [5]

Nope. It's all a game to them. Transfer blame and guilt. No consequences. The world could sprout a thousand mushroom clouds tomorrow, and they'd still be going "But Reagan!"

No they can't. They would have to admit that they were wrong. About everything.

we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall

I think that's what makes a good man a good man. When he stops putting up with the shit, stops going along to get along, and puts his foot down despite all the pressure telling him to go along with evil. We need to start putting our foot down, and whenever these maniacs try to get us to give them an inch, let's remember their debating tactics and dial the intensity from 1 straight to 11 and tell them to shut their evil faces.

I think that it is more complicated than that. The core of Obama's philosophical Fellow Travelers are very pleased with his actions.
The Enabler Class, i.e. most Democrat politicians are happy so long as the popular spin (mostly by a cooperative media) serves them politically, i.e., they are not philosophically driven, they merely want to enjoy privilege, money, benefits.
The Democrat voters are just lemmings., led by a media that also consists of enablers who are a combination of the above, but with an underlying twisted sense of white guilt which inhibits them from raising any criticism, if they can even see it..
The GOPe, meanwhile, is in straight-up go along to get along mode.

Totally agree. It's the voting lemmings that I say don't want to see that they've been wrong to believe the shit they believe and in the the people they believe in. You see it in the media, too, though. A desperate clinging to their hope in what rationality says is bs.

We can't do that! We might lose the independent vote! Jeb may never become President! We could lose the Congressional majorities! Jon Stewart might make funny faces at us! Millennials might put down their bongs for a minute and vote against us! The soccer moms might think we're too judgy! Illegal immigrants who may have been on the fence will vote Dem for sure!
