Okay - two years ago an old friend who was in a tough spot asked if she could move in for six months. She's moving out tomorrow. Yay! She's been paying me rent (though not full market value), which I'll miss, but I'll be sooooo glad to get my house back.
She's asked people from church to help her load her truck, and this morning she told me that the guy coordinating this has only lined up three people to help. "Hopefully he'll find more people before this evening." Her whole attitude seemed to be that he wasn't very competent in getting people to help. I had to bite my tongue from saying, "You know, it's not his job to hire movers for you. That's just a nice thing he offered to do." I just don't understand some people's thinking.

If I ever get a blog. Not sure how that's done.
It's easy. You fill out a blog application form. You have to demonstrate that you've taken appropriate blogging courses and passed a certified blog test. You pay the blog application fee, then on approval you pay the blog license fee. The approval gets your blog submitted for review, which if successful entitles you to pay the blog tax. But you can't have a blog. Posted by: The Government at August 28, 2015 09:54 AM (JtwS4) 36

On the lighter side...
My twin 3 year old grandsons found the button that opens and closes the power side window shades in the back seat. Now they have a routine when we're next to someone at a light or driving alongside. They look straight ahead while the shades open, turn, look at the other driver, then back straight ahead as the shades close again. I know it doesn't sound funny written out but it's fucking hilarious when you see it. Posted by: jwest at August 28, 2015 09:54 AM (Zs4uk) 38

Shush. He's trying to say something in Kate Greenaway's Language of Flowers.
In my elementary school, one sixth-grade teacher was a plump old lady who made all the students memorize and recite "In Flanders Fields." Fifth-graders openly dreaded getting assigned to her classroom, as this task was considered insurmountable and a horrible punishment. Looking back, it is to laugh. Years later, after she was dead, I found out that when she was young and not so plump, she was engaged to be married, and her intended went away to the Great War and did not return. She'd assigned that poem all those years in his memory. Posted by: Stringer Davis at August 28, 2015 09:56 AM (xq1UY) 43

The culture of micro-aggressions is the direct cause of Allison Parker's murder. Where any innocuous utterance can be deemed offensive if only one person thinks it's offensive.
The culture of micro-aggressions has instilled into people a behavior that ranks looking for offense to be as important as the need to eat, sleep, and reproduce. Posted by: Guy Fawkes at August 28, 2015 10:01 AM (zpZLP) 51

Some people see poppies, I see narcotics
In the Thirties, the Hungarian ladies in America's Finest Ethnic Neighborhood grew poppies along the railroad siding that goes right between the houses to the flour mill. They used the poppy seeds to make the filling for Those Hungarian Pastries. So one day the local Eliot Ness squad shows up to eliminate the narcotic menace. Those who were there to see all those old ladies with brooms and iron skillets drive off the federal agents never forgot the spectacle.

98 I came upon some poppies such as these near a drainage outlet by the Santa Monica Pier. Except they were dead someone had dumped garbage on them. It made me think of Ace, naked and in pain. So I lay myself down amongst them and said to myself, " come to me Ace, with your naked pain" and wrapped my arms around the dead garbage poppies and gave them a slow lingering kiss.

47: "TFG gives Iran money and Israel sees a bump in bombings, rocket fire and attempts to kill residents and tourists."
That's one thing that I don't get about the Israelis. Why the little tit for tat strikes? I think it would work out much better to give the "palestinians" their own country, lock, stock, and barrel. And then once the first rocket or suicide bomber crosses the border, their country would be crushed and TRULY occupied. Israel will never win the PR war. Might as well win the real one.

Peggy Noonan dips into her savings and buys a clue:
Here are some things I think are happening. One is the deepening estrangement between the elites and the non-elites in America. This is the area in which Trumpism flourishes. We'll talk about that deeper in. Second, Mr. Trump's support is not limited to Republicans, not by any means. Third, the traditional mediating or guiding institutions within the Republican universe - its establishment, respected voices in conservative media, sober-minded state party officials - have little to no impact on Mr. Trump's rise. Some say voices of authority should stand up to oppose him, which will lower his standing. But Republican powers don't have that kind of juice anymore. Mr. Trump's supporters aren't just bucking a party, they're bucking everything around, within and connected to it. https://tinyurl.com/q9zg4lj Posted by: V the K at August 28, 2015 10:24 AM (O7MnT) 134

just some thoughts rolling out ,
campaign season..i have now been through a few here. always rowdy, people always vying for their guy/gal. some stridently -some with reasoned response. almost seven years of us rolling over for the progressives moral at an all time low, so bad that many actual republican voters are actually looking outside the gop to vote. some seem more strident at times because of stress, and the 'what's next' fear most are worried if the country can turn back from falling off the cliff. thought of many Gope really don't like our ideas , just demand we stay voting gop. constant gaslighting by the media , administration and now our gop leaders at points. tons of frustration and reactions to it. I personally burn out and take a day or a few days off pretty regulalrly Ace and the cobs really don't have the ability to walk away and take whatever time needed to refresh. last thought, i can remember ace asking me at LGF after a comment i made about tough crowd at aces. so before 7 years ago. i said aces wasn't really for sissies and i guess i am a sissy it's fast and rough here, always has been as far as i've looked at this site. letrs' keep our chins up and truy to be respectful at least to eachother. or not. cause i'm not the boss of you Posted by: willow at August 28, 2015 10:27 AM (nqBYe) Posted by: Crazy Aunt Radish at August 28, 2015 10:27 AM (/kI1Q) 148

As a public service to all of you who aren't married to a florist, let me explain how to buy flowers...
If you call any of the 1-800 services, you'll get fucked. All that is a phone boiler room that tacks on a minimum of 30% and usually more like 50%, then sends your order off to whatever florist will take the low-ball remains. On the web, Teleflora, FTD and the others will show you a picture, then whack you a stiff up charge to pass the order along to a local florist. If you want to do it right, look online for a florist in the area that you're sending flower to. Be aware that some order consolidators pay Google to make it look like they are local florists, but in reality they're just another boiler room. Find an actual local florist, call or email, tell them what you're looking for and listen to their advise. Sometimes shit is just not in season. Sure, you can get the thing in the picture, but it will cost a whole lot more. Buy what is in season, give the florist enough leeway to make something appropriate for the occasion and trust someone who operates a business in the town you're concerned with to do a good job. Arguing with an Asian rep in Taiwan after things get fucked up isn't going to be too gratifying. Posted by: jwest at August 28, 2015 10:36 AM (Zs4uk) 186

I came upon some poppies such as these near a
drainage outlet by the Santa Monica Pier. Except they were dead someone had dumped garbage on them. It made me think of Ace, naked and in pain. So I lay myself down amongst them and said to myself, " come to me Ace, with your naked pain" and wrapped my arms around the dead garbage poppies and gave them a slow lingering kiss. Posted by: Charles Johnson at August 28, 2015 10:17 AM That was pretty great. Perhaps a contest is in order, though that is probably already the winner- for declarations of sympathy to Ace's great anguish. Posted by: naturalfake at August 28, 2015 10:39 AM (KUa85) 198
Basically the GOP has taken the sides of third world invaders over the base of its party.
It's sort of like when you like that hot chick and instead of choosing you she chooses the oily, greasy, gold toothed, tatted low life who has baby mommas and kids coming out of the wood work. It's crushing and shocking and all together rage inducing and you vow your going to show her, by God you're going to show her. We are endeavoring to show GOPe the error of its ways.

Buy what is in season, give the florist enough leeway to make something appropriate for the occasion and trust someone who operates a business in the town you're concerned with to do a good job. Arguing with an Asian rep in Taiwan after things get fucked up isn't going to be too gratifying.

In 2016 I decided go all in an order a Romney
magnetic bumber sticker and some buttons - was soooo sick of all the Obama flair in my neighborhood. Ordered 'em 2 mths before the election. They arrived.....the day after the election. I also emailed the Romney Denver HQ a week or so before the 1st debate which was in my neighborhood - the Obama locals had obviously gone door-to-door and gotten A LOT of lawn signs up (they popped up one weekend), also in a lot of roadside places, plastered on some unoccupied businesses near campus (irony is dead), etc. The didn't do ANYTHING about that, so anyone arriving at the debate got the impression that there was only Obama love here. Stupid, stupid self-inflected wounds. Posted by: Lizzy I honestly believe that Romney lost because of the people behind the curtain doing the grunt work were simply behind the 8 ball. Everyone talks about how Romney didn't bring this up at the debate or didn't blast Obama enough on this, but the reality was it was probably a weak ground game, voter contact, ORCA, data mining, etc that led to most of his loss. They were still running elections like they were being run from 10 years ago whereas Obama had a team from Google picking through data. Obama had the better ground game and that won it. Bush had the better ground game in 2004 and won it. It's an important part of elections that even activists overlook. Posted by: Kal at August 28, 2015 10:43 AM (gk9SE) 217

All the fucking Bushies and Frank "The Cunt" Luntz drove me to the edge. Karl Rove and his white board late election night squealing like a pig in a slaughter house, another GOPe loser.

re; Angels
How about the Angels of Wrath. They are mentioned in the apocryphal 'Revelation of Moses.' Also called angels of anger. Supposedly at the Last Judgement seven of them will appear.

Flower shops are no guarantee. One of my mom's stories is about the time my dad sent her flowers to her work (back in the 70's before 1-800 etc.). He had ordered a bouquet of a dozen roses. However the florist was apparently out of roses, so they substituted some flower that costed the same. And they were so ugly, my mother started crying when they were delivered, thinking that my dad was breaking things off with her. I mean her coworkers were trying to keep her spirits up because they were so appalled at how ugly whatever it was they sent. My dad was pretty surprised at how upset she was, and once the misunderstanding was cleared up, he was LIVID at the florist.

So I watched Hating Breitbart on Netflix last night. Great documentary BTW, it's a must see.
It got me thinking just how big a loss his passing was, and also made me wonder. Discounting the arguments about his position, a lot of the establishment pushback against Trump is because of his brash nature. Andrew was nothing if not brash, yet you see many establishment types lauding him throughout the film. Is this just a respect for the dead type thing? I know that when he was alive Breitbart butted heads with a lot of folks. At the time I was big fan of Beck and couldn't understand the issue Andrew had with him, but now I get it. Honestly, the passage of time has only shown us just how right he was on pretty much everything. Posted by: Emile Antoon Khadaji at August 28, 2015 11:15 AM (Nj2wY) 335

Jamyla Bolden's murderer in custody.
http://tinyurl.com/qdfkbj9 Brown was arrested in 2014 after allegedly pulling a pistol on a Subway employee in the middle of the parking lot. Police said at the time that Brown called an employee of the store and said 'I'm coming to your job and going to shoot up the place." Police say he later showed up and pointed the gun at the employee saying 'come talk to my nine,' referring to his gun. No one was seriously hurt in that incident. Charges in the incident were later dismissed because prosecutors said the victim did not cooperate. Was it Ferguson where they voided current warrants before a certain date? That should end swell.

Brother Cavil, welcome to the ranks of writers. Always a dozen ideas floating.
Like two more WA Books set in the WA-verse, but with completely different characters in situation. - A young Bountifulian searches for his father across the nine inhabited worlds of the Bountiful system. - When its fleet is ambushed deep inside unknown and hostile space, the Fast Attack Corvette 'A Day to Remember' is the lone survivor and must fight its way home. And another book about a college hockey player, violent, ill-tempered, intolerant, and unliked. But after 'The Burning,' the very qualities that made him an outcast in our Modern Culture make him a leader in the chaos that follows. Should I have saved these for the Sunday thread?

Specifically, the letter from Major General Camille Nichols, Director, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Officer, says the survey is 'Congressionally-mandated' and is designed to assess any experiences Reserve and National Guard members may have had recently with sexual harassment and sexual assault.

The idiocy of injecting race into common terms seems to have become more of a feature than a bug. After being locked out of my room at the Polynesian at WDW twice and being run down by a person on a cart at Epcot, I was speaking on the phone with the front desk cast member, trying to get the door remotely opened, when I laughingly said something about a "black cloud" following me. She could not hang up quickly enough, with a terse "this-convo-is-over" as a good-bye. It dawned on me as she was hanging up what happened.

Posted by: Just thinking out loud at August 28, 2015 11:35 AM (ShdUd) I enjoyed the documentary Best of Enemies, about the Buckley/Vidal debates in '68. I wasn't alive then so having the spirit of the elections that year explained was illuminating. Racial tensions just like the ones we have now, it felt like. Felt way too much like we have just repeated history. Hopefully the part about RFK does not get repeated in 2016, all the fingers crossed. Last thing this country needs.

The thing about handguns is that at the ranges these murders happened, a knife would probably have done more damage. The only difference is he probably would have hit the cameraman first.

I was thinking that they were attempting to hide what they really want to know: is same-sex sexual harassment up since you-know-what? You can't "drop" a testicle in any orifice except a mouth, and that's not a common heterosexual practice (far as I know, but I'm not that hip, sooooo???). IIRC, a fairly recent survey of sexual harassment in military was ~ 40% same-sex. Posted by: Lizzy at August 28, 2015 11:56 AM (NOIQH) 482

It makes a difference, but one step and an extended arm gives you about two yards immediately. Of course... all this assumes the knife is out already. If your gun is out already, the timing is a bit different. The problem is, its easier to conceal a knife you have out than a gun, usually.

Wall of text warning.
----- I was hoping that the Morning Dump might link to this. Worth reading the entire article, but here is an excerpt: "There are disturbing ramifications if media discussions are indeed driving us to become a more grievance-minded society. Willard Gaylin, one of the world’s preeminent psychology professors, writes about the dangers of “grievance collecting” in his book Hatred: The Psychological Descent into Violence: Grievance collecting is a step on the journey to a full-blown paranoid psychosis. A grievance collector will move from the passive assumption of deprivation and low expectancy common to most paranoid personalities to a more aggressive mode. He will not endure passively his deprived state; he will occupy himself with accumulating evidence of his misfortunes and locating the sources. Grievance collectors are distrustful and provocative, convinced that they are always taken advantage of and given less than their fair share. . . . Underlying this philosophy is an undeviating comparative and competitive view of life. Everything is part of a zero-sum game. Deprivation can be felt in another person’s abundance of good fortune. At the heart of the grievance collector’s worldview is that he is not responsible for the condition of his life; a vast conspiracy of malevolent individuals and forces is entirely at fault. There is always someone else to blame, and the Virginia shooter quickly finds ways to excuse his actions and deflect the responsibility to others." http://tinyurl.com/nhatart Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at August 28, 2015 12:11 PM (9mTYi) 547

It's late August. The vine-y weeds are drawing in food from the leaves to the rootball to survive the coming winter. So now is the time to hose (or wipe) the vine weed leaves with RoundUp.
Backyard behind the garage has been treated. Am taking a hydration break then on to the front yard where the shrubs are wearing a canopy of vine-y weeds. These get wiped with cotton balls dipped in RoundUp. Let the vines, over the next few weeks, suck up all the RoundUp to the rootball and voila!, no more vine-y weeds next spring. Die! Die! Die!

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at August 28, 2015 12:24 PM (39g3+) I suppose I would be a fatalist too, under this guy's system. But, without the weird vaguely negative spin he puts on it. In this case, and many others I'm sure, my "fatalism" was taught to me by the Republican Party. They have completely deranged the political process by no longer acting in their voters interests and in fact directly acted against their voters interests and damaged the middle and lower classes. The elite, the rich- like Zuckerberg and others have taught me that they have zero fellow feeling and love for their Brother and Sister Americans, in fact they hold an antipathy toward us. They want the benefits of living in American society without the responsibilities. Compare them to the "Robber Barons" who build libraries and hospitals and loved America to these feckless fucks. They can all die in a fire as far as I'm concerned. My fave is Cruz. But if it's Trump- I don't care.

I think most of us agree that there is an element of hoax in shooting statistics though. It's pretty well documented that any time a gun comes out in a school, it goes on somebody's notepad as a "school shooting" even if it's foiled, even if it's a one-shot suicide, even if it's a toy gun, even if it's gang-bangers driving past. That's a kind of hoax, and much bitten on by your LIV's.

Conspiratorial thinking is a weird combination of inferiority complex (needing to feel more informed than everyone else) and paranoia. Notice how they all respond the same way when pushed to supply facts? In the old days that would have been grounds for considering it a legitimate mental illness.

well, currently.
But what else could people be talking about when they say "we need to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally unstable" unless they mean to expand the definition of mentally unstable to include people voluntarily prescribed medication. Posted by: mynewhandle I am very concerned about changing rules that govern exercising Rights (rules of which there are too many in general, IMHO) to allow restriction of said rights in poorly-defined and easily-manipulated situations. "Mentally unstable" is waaaaaaay more subjective than "convicted felon" or "involuntarily committed to mental institution." Now, granted, I think it's easy to look at this shooting (and the Charleston one), and conclude that neither person should have had a firearm, because obviously crazy. But that's hindsight. Posted by: Moderate Salami, weeping for our dead Republic at August 28, 2015 01:10 PM (/Ho8c) 846
I find the idea of any recent mass shooting being a "hoax" risible. But I'd be happy to entertain the notion for argument's sake, just like cryptids or Atlantis or UFOs. But methinks Idiocracy takes it all a bit too seriously and can't bear to see the inevitable flaws in the various "theories" pointed out on the blog.

well, currently.
But what else could people be talking about when they say "we need to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally unstable" unless they mean to expand the definition of mentally unstable to include people voluntarily prescribed medication. Posted by: mynewhandle at August 28, 2015 01:04 PM (AkOaV) I get that. I really truly do. It is hard to find a place on the planet with more guns than Oklahoma. Within the past 2 months, we have had two absolutely horrific KNIFE crimes that did not make the national news. Our State Labor Commissioner was stabbed to death in a restaurant by his mentally ill son. He will be buried tomorrow. A few weeks ago in Broken Arrow, two teenage boys stabbed to death five of their family members and came very close to killing one more--they thought she was dead, but, she wasn't and she managed to call 911 before the boys finished the family. Out of 9 people, only a 13 year old girl, a two year old girl and the two murderers survived. Knife crime--no agenda to push, so national coverage. I will admit the guy beheading the woman last year in OKC and coming close to beheading a second got national coverage because of the Muslim killing Christians angle. Of course, I also noticed the national media was very tepid in their enthusiasm for the man who went to his car and got his legal gun and killed the guy on the rampage.

I think you should read it again. ace did become uncivil in response to people being uncivil to him or twisting his words to make it look like he was attacking them personally. Can't speak for anyone else but I was also getting a bit tired of having a few people claim anyone who wasn't 100% down with Trump as suffering from TDS. It was not only stupid and insulting it was just begging for a personal fight having nothing to do with Trump. It's really not all that hard to disagree with someones position without demeaning their motives or them personally. We do it in meatspace everyday in order not to get punched in the face.

Everyone asked for proof from Idiocracy. What if he supplied the FBI data that shows a goose egg?

As I said on the ONT yesterday, I sort of enjoy watching ace's angry outburts on the blog. He just lays it out there, in classic ace style - a bit wordy and insistent, repetitive, profane, hilarious, and with tidbits of self-deprecation tossed in. The thread in question wasn't all that, seemed to me. I assumed most of us just ignored the nasty stuff that wasn't partly humor or stylistic showboating, or at least ignored the authors thereof. And note: ace's specific point was mostly about weird, baseless, attacks on *him* by people who hadn't bothered to read his post, or read it carefully. As he laid out in what I find very funny and good ROE - organic, escalating, tit-tat flame war action is still authorized, in general. So, in classic AOSHQ layer-upon-layer of misunderstanding based on not reading everything (because it's impossible to keep up), yesterday there were regulars - but not frequent regulars - dropping by and wondering about the new "policy" ..... because they hadn't read ace's post on it.

EPA news in the courts today, too. The new water-power grab, that makes just about every ditch a Navigable Waterway, is being challenged hither and yon. A judge enjoined enforcement for a group of western states, and another refuses to enjoin the the southeast.
If you read much in ancient history, you'll find a lot of historians agreeing that big government began with control of water. Most thought that a wondrous thing, others said it was the seat of tyranny, but, it was the water every time. So I am extremely suspicious of any water-quality initiatives, and all water panics. Most states will not complain. There's a lot of "free" federal money, for new water plants, EPA-compliant sewage treatment, farm "management," all at stake. And most states will take money, even if it ends up costing them. Posted by: Stringer Davis at August 28, 2015 01:32 PM (xq1UY) 965

They can be, and usually are, very conservative sorts in the ranks. Leadership as political monsters, not so much but the average detective, police officer, etc yes.

Posted by: Lincolntf at August 28, 2015 01:29 PM (2cS/G) Right. CT has no "unincorporated land" so every crime falls under the jurisdiction of a local PD (with rare exceptions, like state parks and on certain interstate highways). Newtown PD is a tiny little bumblefuck department. That's why the CT State police took lead on the investigation. I doubt Newtown PD even has a homicide division or has ever dealt with any kind of murder scene beyond the "husband catches wife cheating and kills her" type open and shut cases.

So I'm assuming that, despite the good things I've heard, retiring to Portugal probably isn't a good idea, what with the nuclear fallout from the ME -- or will the air currents take it in another direction? Kind of like being an hour west of Boston -- a nuke over Boston isn't a fallout problem, a nuke over NYC is.

I was banned for legitimately claiming to have fellated my girlfriend. What's wrong with that? Only the hard core conservative dweebs suggested it's impossible to fellate a girl. Wrong! I fellated her many times and she loved it. Posted by: Palin Steele at August 28, 2015 01:34 PM (OiFtZ) 978
Gay and lesbian families have been fighting for decades for full recognition of their relationships. Denver has been at the forefront of honoring gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees and their families with non-discrimination clauses and partner benefits for many of these decades. These are long standing values Denver has held. When Denver International Airport proposed a concession with a company that had a history of funding opposition to this recognition, it was important that we as a City Council take a pause to ensure that all the policies are in place with all of the entities involved to ensure there will be no discrimination, and that benefits will be provided equally to all employees and their spouses, regardless of their sexual orientation.

People kill people. We have been doing so through all recorded history. We do it with rocks, knives, bows, arrows, poisons, bombs, starvation, disease, and anything else that will get the job done. We as a species kill every age and both sexes indiscriminately. We are a bloodthirsty bunch left to our own devices. The most efficient killers are governments and they are really really good at it when they have managed to disarm undesirables. So, dayum, if it don't behoove the undesirables to hold on to means of self defense even if all the nice sensible well educated and mentally superior folks are telling said undesirables to get rid of their icky weapons and be nice little victims.

Tee time at Hickham? Gee, that brings back some memories. Back when I was just a wee masked fish eagle back in the 1970's my dad was stationed USMC HQ PAC at Camp Smith. One day we saw a few RAF Avro Vulcans fly in (I'm guessing from Hong Kong as at that time it was still in Her Brittanic Majesty's Realms) and we drove over to Hickham to see them up close. While we were driving around the base my dad pointed out the golf course, swimming pool and other rec facilities and said, "you know, the reason the Air Force has all these nice facilities is, when they get money from Congress to build a base, they always build the golf course and swimming pool first, and then they go back to Congress and say, "hey guys, can you give us a little extra cash? We forgot to build the runway".

uncivil in response to people being uncivil to him or twisting his words to make it look like he was attacking them personally. Can't speak for anyone else but I was also getting a bit tired of having a few people claim anyone who wasn't 100% down with Trump as suffering from TDS.
