88 Wednesday, a top writer for one of the country's premier right wing publications wrote an essay declaring a large percentage of the republican party to be cousin-fucking Nazis.

Yesterday and today, the publisher of the National Review decided that in light of this bold stance, it would be a good time to fundraise.

How does this happen? What is going on when our own writers, people who are supposed to be articulating the character and values of the right, print articles basically confirming every left wing stereotype in the book?

These are the people we support through contributions to right wing organizations? Do we pay the airfare for the insufferable twit Charles C.W. Cooke to fly to the west coast and laugh with Bill Maher about the witless rubes in the great wasteland in between coasts?

This is why we someone like Trump. Let there be change and a purge of the literary elites.

I've heard that process described thus:
You didn't have to go to Siberia, since you could just opt for execution.
Once in Siberia, you didn't have to join the collective, but there wasn't any other way to find work.
You didn't have to work, but housing wasn't provided to anyone who didn't work. Nor food. Nor clothing.

"And you can tell them to go f**k themselves," Donald Trump told a crowd at a Portsmouth Rally on Thursday night, uttering the expletive at the climax of the riff on his tax proposal. He was referring to companies that have relocated overseas for more favorable tax rates.

We needed 10.65 million new jobs, just to tread water. Supposedly over 8 million jobs were lost since the "Great Recession" hit.

Your birth control?

212 Today, 6 February, will be the 105th anniversary of the birth of Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004), the 40th president of these United States. Born in Tampico, Illinois, Reagan left for Hollywood in 1937 and starred in a long series of hit movies. Early in his career as a screen actor, he was a New Dealer and head of the Screen Actors Guild, but he joined the Republican party in 1962 and was elected governor of California for two terms (1967-1975) on a conservative platform. He lost the 1976 Presidential nomination to Gerald Ford, but ran successfully for president in 1980 and served for two terms. An ardent foe of "big government" and widely credited with the strategy that "won the Cold War," President Reagan remains a hero of conservative politics and - as the current campaign demonstrates - an icon of today's Republican party.
----

"So in your discussion of nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride -- the temptation blithely to declare yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire."
- Ronald Reagan (speech to the National Association of Evangelicals, Orlando, Florida, 9 March 1983)

"Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders."
- Reagan (The Guardian, London, 14 June 1989)

"No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on earth."
- Reagan("A Time for Choosing," television address, 27 October 1964)

"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close relationship to the first."
- Reagan(at a conference in Los Angeles, 2 March 1977)

"Ronald Reagan, the President who never told bad news to the American people."
- Garrison Keilor (b. 1942)

235 Regarding work and what gets forgiven and what does not.

I suffer from the kind of migraines that prevent me from driving because my vision is impaired and silly me, I refuse to kill someone with my car just to get into work.

So, my boss was giving me his sad frowny face talk about my illness--for which I had a disability letter. So, I said, sure, let's talk and then I proceeded to talk, it went something like this:

"Yes, I know I worked from home two days last week because of a migraine, but, you know what I did not do?"

Boss---questioning look on face. "Nooo?"

"I did not call in drunk on Monday and hungover on Thursday and Friday like Bill did."

Next question to my boss, "You know how no one ever wants me to leave their project because I have the skill sets of 5 different job titles and do the work of at least 5 people?

Boss, "Yes, Sherry."

Me, "How many people is it now that refuse to work on projects will Bill, is it 20 or25, I forget. How many people have quit or taken retirement rather than work with Bill, by my count, it's 10. How many projects has been been thrown off of--5 right?"

By this point Boss is sitting there in shock.

I then tell him, "Once you get Bill all fixed up on being a drunk and a complete jerk who makes people cry, then we can talk about my disability." I got up and left the room.

He's a really smart guy, brilliant even, but, he is a completely self absorbed amoral jerk whose favorite trick is, "I don't lie, I always tell the complete truth."

The best part of streaming versus cable is that your streaming provider knows exactly what the audience is watching and wants to watch. No neilson bullshit numbers. I predict when streaming providers negotiate in the future, with actual numbers, for what they have to pay for gay (so to speak) and they know people actually don't want to watch the gay advocacy and bashing of religion, it will change the content providers point of view and they'll have to back off. Or take a major cut in pay.

288 >>What TV needs is a light family comedy set in an abortion clinic.

Sadly, PP has been lobbying behind the scenes to get Hollywood to include more abortion storylines, and to be sure they do so in a way that is pro-abortion. Already done in "Scandal" in December, where the main character has an abortion (without previously revealing she was pregnant) while "Silent Night" plays in the background. Wish I was making this up.

289 One thing that's always pissed me off? They only count shows being watched. Not dvr'ed. I may like and watch 3 shows that come on at the same time, but only one gets counted. And then two get cancelled because of low ratings, even though I watched every episode.

Actually they do take into account DVR'd or time shifted viewing. And they do know which DVR shows you watch later. So, it's definitely not like it used to be.

But, on that day, at that time, I had had it up to there with being told my migraines were a problem despite me making every effort to see that my projects never suffered.

The best part of streaming versus cable is that your streaming provider knows exactly what the audience is watching and wants to watch. No neilson bullshit numbers. I predict when streaming providers negotiate in the future, with actual numbers, for what they have to pay for gay (so to speak) and they know people actually don't want to watch the gay advocacy and bashing of religion, it will change the content providers point of view and they'll have to back off. Or take a major cut in pay.

Always thought it was funny that in both the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler sitcoms that the voice of reason, the mentor to whom both feminist comedians went to for advice/get them out of a problem their Lefty view got them into was the conservative. Alec Baldwin as Jack Donoughey was hilarious, and more often than not, right.

Kinda like Lefty sci-fi writers who unintentionally end up showing how evil Leftism is, and how it is inferior conservatism/libertarianism in their fantasy world, yet cling to their Lefty views in real life (see: Joss Whedon).

Reverts to mean. The big investment banks scammed oil to keep it high. Economy got hollowed out. Scam ran out of oil storage space. Price drops. Doesn't matter because that part of the economy is now on EBT cards. Price drops some more. Economy will recover over time. Usually the price of the cornered commodity goes as much below as it was too high for about as long as it was too high. Seven years?

Well, bear in mind that the Irish word for the city, "Gallaimh", means "place where tourists are grabbed by the ankles and shaken until all their money falls out." (Yes, Irish is a remarkably compact language.)

Pubs. Well, I used to go to the Skeffington Arms on Eyre Square. Start there and go down Shop Street (it's a pedestrian street). At the bottom of Shop Street are Taafe's, The King's Head, and Freeney's. I used to buy all my fishing tackle at Freeneys. (Yes, it's a pub abd fishing tackle shop.) Past Freeney's, down High Street, there are a couple of shops where you can buy Irish sweaters, if you're into that sort of thing. Just wander around the streets in that area and drop in to wherever looks interesting.

Backing up to Shop Street, if you look about, you'll see the spire of St Nicholas' Cathedral. There's usually a market there every day selling knick-knacks, street food. The Cathedral itself is worth a visit. Cromwell himself defaced the statues when he went through in 1643, or thereabouts.

But even when the tank is nearly dry, the fleet are still largely under G limit restrictions because there's a pervasive case-rubbing problem with the engine turbine as the airframe and engine flex under loading. That problem caused a fire which destroyed a $175M airframe.

Historically that was the role of the Texas Railroad Commission.

"In 1930, the famous East Texas Oil Field was discovered. Covering 140,000 acres over five Texas counties, this field would become the largest oil field in the continental United States. After its discovery, production from this field was quickly regulated by the Railroad Commission to prevent another dip in the market price for oil. Martial law was used to ensure compliance with conservation regulation and production limits in the face of this massive oil discovery and to bring stability to the industry"

594 "Considering the extremely limited applicability of the Harrier, it's

The entire Harrier CONOPS from the beginning was "it's the jet you can forward-deploy".

And there were arguments for that in the context of its Cold War roots. Being able to do impromptu dispersal was important given that Group Of Soviet Forces Germany were going to nuke or gas anything that even looked like a NATO airfield. Okay then, have the jet put down in a meadow to refuel and rearm.

But in today's world it looks less workable. Note that a bunch of raggedy-assed insurgents in man-jammies managed to destroy essentially _an entire wing_ of USMC Harriers at Camp Bastion, blasting them as they sat in their forward-deployed revetments. A few thousand bucks of enemy effort did many hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.

He spent 5-6 years in private practice and the cases he appeared to be handling were in the multimillion dollar settlement range. So I don't think it's inconceivable that he made some serious money in a short amount of time.

672 Cromwell out-monstered the other monsters, and it wasn't close.

Nah, historically he wasn't any worse than the others. He just had a much better army and was a better general. Cromwell changed how militaries worked, and his model for the army was what England adapted from that point on because it was so effective.

It was a professional army rather than knights and then rabble with pitchforks. The troops were taught discipline and respect for their job, a sense of honor and importance. The knights were not allowed to just trample the infantry to get to glory. It was incredibly effective against old style militaries.

I would assume it's more the "greener pastures" thing. He needed this place, until he didn't.


That he could be a jerk when he was here, and people didn't exactly roll over for him probably sped his way to places more suited to his viewpoints, but I'm reasonably sure he believes he's better off doing whatever he's doing now. He doesn't miss us, and really, the feeling is mutual.

802 Note to @JebBush re your snarky comments about @marcorubio: Rubio is as
qualified to be president as G.H.W. Bush was when he ran in 1980.


Mr. Kristol. As much as I dislike Bush The Elder, let's see what was on his resume in 1980:

Naval Aviator, 1943. saw combat.
Graduated Yale 1948
In the oil business, immediately after graduation, founded two oil companies and was president of Zapata Offshore to 1964, Chairman to 1966.
Chair of Harris County GOP 1964, representative from 1966-1971
UN Ambassador, 1971-73
Chair of RNC, 1973-74
Was the US Envoy to China, from 1974-75
Director, CIA, 1976-77
Chairmain FIB Houston, part time prof at Rice University, and phone-it-in job at CFR.

What's Rubio got?

Graduated University of Florida 1993
Law degree University of Miami 1996
Elected city commissioner 1998
Florida House of Representatives 2000-2008
Started law firm in 2008, adjunct professor at Florida International University.
US Senator 2011.


Sorry Bill Kristol...I get that Rubio is the great hope for the GOPe, but Rubio has a pretty fucking thin resume.

803 Speaking of "The Travelin' Trollop":

"The crew was taken into custody. However, their captors were not Germans, but the Irish army.

Ireland was neutral in World War II, and the B-24 crew briefly joined Italian and German prisoners being held by the Irish.

But the Americans were treated better, Mr. Miller said. While everyone else ate oatmeal, the Americans got a platter of sausages and a fifth of Irish whiskey every day."

See, this is what happens when ideas are discussed.

I said one thing and you heard another.

I don't want us to cut the defense budget by half while continuing to do business the same way we do now. That would gut the military.

What I do want is the ability for the executive branch to reorganize and reinvent the military from the ground up. I want to be able to establish bases, manpower levels, weapon systems and everything else based on what makes the U.S. the most powerful force on earth, instead of what congressman sits on what committee.

Some people are convinced that super carriers need to cost 4 billion and a decent fighter is 200 million a copy. I'm not one of those.

I would start from scratch and do things right.

811 Well, Shannon puts you in Co. Clare, so previous remarks about the Burren apply.


Oooh. I shall go back in the thread to see what I missed about the Burren.

One magical day I made friends with a dog and we hiked up a hill there. Cow paths and sheep pens made from stone lower down, then diminishing.

Then all sorts of stone structures that were either natural stones falling into cracks, or ancient walls, or aliens.

And everything so weathered at the top that the manmade structures were either 100 years old or 5,000 years old. There was a wife and a newborn in the lodge at the bottom of the hill, and me, a dog, and some Amsterdam hash at the top of the hill.
