Happy weekend, Horde!

No vehicle traffic in a radius of center city. Posted by: skip at September 26, 2015 06:09 AM (WcAm2) 5 Good Morning Morons. Today is Saturday, September 26, 2015. On this day in 1933 gangster Machine Gun Kelly surrendered to the FBI, shouting out, "Don't shoot, G-Men!", which became a nickname for FBI agents. He and his wife were both sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping. He died in prison of a heart attack. Oddly enough, I can find no evidence that he ever actually shot anyone with his machine gun.

(they already publish the names of State pensioners so it is not so far fetched). Of course he is a Republican. http://fxn.ws/1iB94c1 Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:14 AM (t2KH5) 10 "Shock Poll" 62% of Republican feel betrayed by the party. The only thing I find "shocking" about it is that it is only 62%. http://bit.ly/1L9TvVz Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:14 AM (t2KH5) 11 Obama, China, and the commie pope "teaming up" to save the world from non-existent global warming. Remember China is one of the countries that refuses and is excused from the AGW limitations. It is also one of the heaviest atmospheric polluting countries in the world. http://bit.ly/1Ly0mHh Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:14 AM (t2KH5) 12 A poll conducted in Minneapolis (heavy muzzie presence) found that most muzzies would like to replace the Constitution with sharia law. And we are letting in 280,000 of these turds a year. http://bit.ly/1R5BTJr Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:15 AM (t2KH5) 13 LOL, Ted Cruz thanks Values Voters for Boner resignation. http://bit.ly/1KAVOhf Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:15 AM (t2KH5) 14 Levin does not want RINO McCarthy either.

Cantor is not happy with conservatives on talk radio and the Internet. http://bit.ly/1VeQfNo Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:16 AM (t2KH5) 17 Representative Daniel Webster of FL (ACU 72) says he will seek the speaker position. We don't want him either. We want a rock ribbed conservative with an ACU rating of at least 90 and a solid record. http://bit.ly/1VeQfNo Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:16 AM (t2KH5) 18 Rumors fly that Boner has cut a "deal" with Obama to avoid a government shutdown. So he will give away everything once again for a bag of beans and a shit pot of "worthless promises". Republicans are the only ones that Obama can "negotiate" with and come out ahead. That is because they come prepared to surrender. http://bit.ly/1MvGMdf Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:16 AM (t2KH5) 19 And speaking of Republican surrendering, Cruz said they came fully prepared to do that on the PP halt in funding for one year. I noted yesterday that they refused to use the nuclear option on the budget bill when Democrats blocked it in the Senate. That nuclear option was in fact designed for budget bills, not judicial appointments as the Democrats used it. http://dailysign.al/1jk50gX Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:17 AM (t2KH5) 20 Heritage lists 9 possible candidates for speaker. Candidates with ACU rating > 90: Hensarling, TX with 96; Jordon, OH, 100, Labrador, Iowa, 100, Price, GA, 92, and Scalise, LA, 100. All the rest are RINOs. http://dailysign.al/1KEYdEq Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:17 AM (t2KH5) 21 D.C. has lost another Heller gun case in the DC Court of Appeals as they tried to achieve gun prohibition by other means of regulation. http://dailysign.al/1VeRT1w Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:17 AM (t2KH5) 22 Ramirez http://bit.ly/1iRIpZb Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:18 AM (t2KH5) 23 The Daily Deals http://amzn.to/1iBeoMD That's it for today folks.

That's a Boehner crack, isn't it.

The only thing I find "shocking" about it is that it is only 62%. That's actually somewhat disheartening. It means 38% of the party has no clue what is going on, or is so fearful of the media that they think the GOP can't fight. I'd assume the people legitimately happy with the GOP would be about 5% Posted by: Bevel Lemelisk at September 26, 2015 06:26 AM (OpK2H) 27 Something has to give the RNCe the illusion they can shit on the base forever.

Receiving especial scorn was Mayor Nutter and the fact that some services or access won't be restored until after Monday.

I miss him already. -- Love, Eric Cantor Posted by: JS at September 26, 2015 06:33 AM (1FDHR) 32 When you see the liberal press talking up what a decent man Boehner is, you see what a failure he was. Remember when Obama went over the thirty or so days a president has to wage a unilateral war in Libya, and Boehner golfed with him two days later? Posted by: Bevel Lemelisk at September 26, 2015 06:36 AM (OpK2H) 33 "I'd assume the people legitimately happy with the GOP would be about 5%' I think that same poll said only 2% were "extremely" happy with the gopE.

There are people in ME that are still embarrassed about taking welfare so might work. Don't think those in the "urban areas" would give a shit. Shit it would be easier to post the names of those NOT on welfare. Posted by: Nip Sip at September 26, 2015 06:44 AM (jJRIy) 39 It is now too late to stop climate change. Give the warmies some space to mourn, but the sermons are over. Posted by: fluffy at September 26, 2015 06:45 AM (2iV3X) 40 >>> The obvious? There are people in ME that are still embarrassed about taking welfare so mIght work. Doubtful. But it will make it easier to rat out welfare recipients with brand new pickups. Posted by: fluffy at September 26, 2015 06:47 AM (2iV3X) 41 Wait until gov allows sharia courts. I guess it is rationalized as mediation. However, when it comes to divorce and domestic abuse the wives are pressured to accept it and end up getting screwed big time. Posted by: Bruce With a Wang! at September 26, 2015 06:49 AM (iQIUe) 42 Just flew back for London last night and seeing the mess flying into the country breaks your heart. The American flight I was on should have been an Air India flight. Half the passengers were Indian. Almost half the crew was. The served Curried Chicken for dinner. Seriously. The crew blocked off four rows of seats in the back of the plane for their family to lay down and sleep. They were rude, never showed up, questioned you why you needed a second glass of wine on an EIGHT hour trip. Letter going to company. Posted by: Nip Sip at September 26, 2015 06:49 AM (jJRIy) 43 That Saudi prince may already be gone. Posted by: Bruce With a Wang! at September 26, 2015 06:53 AM (iQIUe) 44 On same flight we had a "medical" emergency. Some old Arab evidently didn't like curried chicken. Crew asked for a doctor and anyone that could speak Arabic. Funny, the old fart walked off the plane with an EMT before they would let anyone else off. He looked fine to me. Good scam, get off early, bypass customs, so to hospital get free meal, family picks you up. We pay. Posted by: Nip Sip at September 26, 2015 06:53 AM (jJRIy) 45 "Letter going to company. " What flight, Nipper? Posted by: Ricardo Kill at September 26, 2015 06:56 AM (7Kl+K) 46 Nobody is going to lose welfare, F-350 Super Cab or not. I know a woman who analyzes permanent disability applications and she says that though she marks many or most for denial the upper levels, mostly attorneys, always approve the claim because nobody comes bitching if a claim is approved, just those denied.

I am a Platinum member, you know anyone at US/AM feel free to pass on my comment. Rudest flight crew I have ever flown with in 50 years. Well, there was one Eastern crew that was worse, but that was a LONG time ago. Posted by: Nip Sip at September 26, 2015 07:06 AM (jJRIy) 51 Something has to give the RNCe the illusion they can shit on the base forever. ______________________ I think it has something to do with the fact that their candidates kept getting re-elected (with a few rare exceptions, like Cantor), despite the fact that they shit all over us again and again. That advice to "vote for the lesser of two evils" has led to the greatest evil of all. Posted by: TrivialPursuer at September 26, 2015 07:07 AM (a31sM) 52 Happy Day After Climate Chaos Day!

Posted by: TrivialPursuer at September 26, 2015 07:04 AM Wish he was better at doing his actual job, which (in case he or anyone else has forgotten) is working in the Senate for the people who elected him. He manages to be off somewhere else when the SHTF (TPP, Iranian nukes, etc.), but can always pop off good lines when speechifying. Well, except when anyone asks him about his desire to crank up the H1B visa machine. He needs to change his ways. He's rapidly beginning to look like a lighter-colored Choom Boy: dedicated to the cushy lifestyle of D.C. and his place in same, but not racking up any record of genuine accomplishment. Won't be long until he finds out that Republican Identity Politics is not as strong a Free Pass as Blackdemocratium.

So FenelonSpouse said it me today to me today as we were having our coffee, "How about if I run behind the Cross Country team and smile and wave and point at K (our son) I knew there was some advantage in having a teenager. ;^) I have to say that the team-which doesn't get the attention and acclaim that -say- the football team gets (There is no band playing in the break between the cross country boys and girls races. and no cute cheerleaders) supports each other and says things like "Keep going" or "Bring it home" or "You got this!

Posted by: Chi-Town Jerry at September 26, 2015 07:50 AM (UpGcq) 71 Scribbler, who did you help elect that's better than Cruz? Posted by: Dave, exiled in RI at September 26, 2015 07:25 AM Strange question. I will admit that most of the people for whom I have voted were not exactly stellar performers, and a few have been real duds. But no one else here can say anything different. Does that mean I have to go all rah-rah for candidates who are, IMO, continuations of the pathetic lineage of U.S. presidents post-Reagan? If that's going to be the standard, might as well do a Poppin' Fresh and push for Heb!, who is at least a Safe, Mainstream Candidate sure to make the GOPe happy. I have never understood how people can work themselves into a state of quasi-religious ecstasy for any candidate, as so many did/do for Choom Boy, Shrillery, Trump, Cruz, Fiorina, etc. They are seeking a JOB, FFS. They are, though even they might deny it, humans with the normal complement of strengths and weaknesses. So while I, like damn near everyone else, will probably end up holding my nose and stifling nausea in the voting booth a year from November, I'd still like to see the best possible Chief Executive emerge from the snuffling herd. Unless he starts showing me some heretofore-unseen Mad Skillz, I don't think Cruz is the guy.

A US Air guy I know said he was not surprised. He said every flight from LHR is an Indian express flight. They can get tourist visas and they never leave. He said the biggest problem for US Air is over half don't speak any English and you need an Indian crew member to talk to them. I guess that explains the Indian crew. Why don't they just do announcements in Indian and English?

You know the one, he's the lightning rod, the Cassandra, mouthing off on the sidelines. Meanwhile, the REAL candidate (or when he's on the Senate floor, the real caucus) does its thing.

Lefties will take anyone advancing their agenda Posted by: skip at September 26, 2015 08:22 AM (WcAm2) 87 Meh. I don't get the Cruz hate. Especially, without putting forth a better option. You know, an actual candidate- not John Q ImaginaryPerfectconservativePresident what only exists in your mind. If your criticism is "he's a politician"...well good luck. Everyone up there including Carson has to be a pretty good politician to get in that position. While I'd like to see Cruz win, I'm okay with The Donald or winning. However, instead of silly mean-girl games I'd like these debates to include simple direct questions to all the candidates- concerning illegal aliens, border security, A Wall - yes or no?, H1B visas, global warming - real or no?, economy destroying -"green" initiatives - yes or no?, complete repeal of Obamacare with restoration of market driven reforms - yes or no?, etc. But....Nope. FOXNews set the tone with Megs and her silly gotcha! games. So, mean girls it is. Posted by: naturalfake at September 26, 2015 08:26 AM (KUa85) 88 New thread up. Posted by: Tim in Illinois.

I feel no personal animus toward the guy -- well, no more than I do for any political hack who's too busy playing the Washington Game to do his job properly -- and don't see the need to brand criticism of him as "hate."

Lefties will take anyone advancing their agenda Posted by: skip at September 26, 2015 08:22 AM (WcAm2) They'll back anyone that supports even a particle of their agenda, and ignore the faults until after they've won! Posted by: Hrothgar at September 26, 2015 08:31 AM (ftVQq) 91 Ba-Zing! Cruz: Meeting Between Obama And Xi Jinping Is Meeting "Between World's Most Powerful Communist And The President Of China" That says it all. http://bit.ly/1JuHT8l Posted by: Vic-we have no party at September 26, 2015 06:16 AM (t2KH5) Barry wouldn't consider being called a communist an insult Posted by: TheQuietMan at September 26, 2015 08:38 AM (DiZBp) 92 "Lefties will take anyone advancing their agenda" Which person running now has a track record of advancing even one small part of the Conservative Agenda? You can argue that both Walker and Perry did at the state level. What has anyone done at the Federal level? Which person has actually forced the donktards to give up anything?

Posted by: bjk at September 26, 2015 08:44 AM (x2rNW) 95 @9 I don't have the slightest problem with publishing the names and addresses of welfare recipients. Those people are taking money that was extorted from me at gunpoint. I had no option in paying it. It should be public knowledge where that money went, just as the salaries of elected officials are public knowledge. Those people who are saying, "It will shame them!" are right. It WILL shame them. Damned good thing, too. You SHOULD be ashamed if you're taking money from the public unless you're too ill to work. If there isn't enough work where you are, move to someplace where there is work. Maybe if we actually stopped featherbedding conditions for those on welfare, we might be able to get someone to do those "jobs that Americans won't do" so we could tell the open borders bastards to shut the Hell up. Oh, just for the record, I grew up in Maine in a much poorer county than the one where Lewiston is located. Most people there would have been too embarrassed to take welfare knowing there was work to be had by going out and digging clams or worms. I'd bet a lot of the names on those welfare rolls in Lewiston are local ones like "Mohammed" and "Abdul." The people who had the bright idea to bring Somalis to Maine are going to fight the public revelation of this information tooth and nail because they desperately want to hide how greatly their idiocy worsened an already bad situation. You have to wonder when people are going to wake up to the reality that a country's citizens make that country the way it is. Want your country to be more like Somalia? Bring some Somalis, because you can bet THEY aren't going to change for YOU; THEY are going to expect and demand that YOU change for THEM. Norway is the way it is because of Norwegians; Somalia is the way it is because of Somalis. Citizens from a garbage dump immediately go to work turning their new country into the same garbage dump they left behind. It's how they are; it's what they do.

Turns out it's just orangeade, some ground up vitamin pills, and something we called 'cloud'. Cloud had no purpose but to make the drink opaque like orange juice. I always thought that seemed disingenuous. Posted by: Kevin at September 26, 2015 08:56 AM (Gval2) 97 The Anti Thatcher ? Mother Merkel , of course . Posted by: jay hoenemeyer at September 26, 2015 09:29 AM (uvj0z) 98 Oh, I drank Tang when I was a kid. You betcha. I was a space nut from the get go. I remember Space Food Sticks, too. They weren't much more than chocolate candy, but I packed one in my lunch box every day. Ad Astra! Posted by: rickl at September 26, 2015 09:37 AM (sdi6R) 99 Love Gov says that if you won't drink your tang, then no water for you. Eat it dry!

Beautiful here in SE Texas - clear and 71 degrees on the back deck, so it's time for more coffee and casting admiring glances at the new truck. Yay. Oh, still shivering from the pudding worthy departure of the sad orange man (I refuse to sully the good name of "Tang", a delightful reminder of America's heady days in space).

I have not had one cavity, it was either Tang or the fluoridated water.... Posted by: anginak at September 26, 2015 10:38 AM (rxuMJ) 104 I drank Tang every day until I was around 12. I haven't had it since. I liked it one day and hated it the next. I guess I just got sick of it.
