It's told from the worm point of view. A child worm is complaining about eating only dirt and now there's a hair in it.
Daddy worm tells a story about how the hair got there, which is basically that a girl who understands the environment in Disney terms got everything wrong and ended up decomposing in the dirt the worms are eating.
I recommend it to everyone young and old.

Posted by: Krebs v Carnot
Realist painter, so painting what he sees. And:
Why is the new crescent Moon really high in the sky?
It must be Spring! The New Moon is visible only for a while after sunset. At sunset on the Spring equinox, the line of the ecliptic is really high in the sky. The opposite is true in Autumn. So if you want to see a really thin crescent in a dark sky, look for a New Moon in Spring, or a very Old Moon (just before dawn) in Autumn.

Explanation: A French mnemonic is that the First Quarter Moon phase looks like a p, and the Last Quarter Moon looks like a d. In this mnemonic, p and d actually stand for what you see: premier or dernier.

As someone trained in science who creates cabochons from rocks and minerals, it is a supreme irony that some of the best on-line sources of information regarding rocks and minerals and identifying and finding them are sites focused on the "healing powers" of said rocks and minerals.

There were others that fought the "Alien Nation" invasion war for a long time, (many getting pushed aside as racists by the new age conservatives) but it is really Ann's last book that put Trump on his course, and with Trump Power made stopping the invasion and changing of our country at the forefront of this election.
But still the hate burns. But she keeps fighting. Three cheers for Ann.

It's not designed to.
The substitution of our manufacturing sector with a "new economy" was so BJ Cliton could pay off his ChiCom owners. Those who supported the move are innumerate and have absolutely no idea how a free market economy operates.

...hyperbolic rhetoric reached a new height this week with The
Blaze's Matt Walsh writing an unnecessarily long column full of
loosely-connected insults that eventually leads to the conclusion that a
vote for Trump is a vote for pagan dictatorship.

Not quite the height achieved by Charlie CW Cooke, who went all Wick Rilson and suggested that Cruzer and Dondi should be popping caps -- with a machine gun, no less -- at Trump.

I always pay attention to moon phases because I'm a fisherman and they correspond 1:1 to the tides.
On my favorite water, the outer beaches of Cape Cod, it's really easy because a full moon means high tide at midnight. The Bay side is an hour behind that, the Sound side is ...mumble.. I always have to look that up.
I live too far away from my water now to do it any more, but I used to draw a sine curve on paper and mark out the tide phases for the next few days to see when I could get away from work and kids and where I would go based on the tide.

Last Dec, 2015, Obama asked for tech companies help to fight ISIS
He flies out there all the time to demand they do this and that. And the same libs defending Apple from the administration should be just as concerned about this sudden and widespread silencing of conservative voices on social media. It is not coincidence

He might not be qualified from a social media or WSJ op-ed or intersectionalist speech code or conservative purity test perspective, but economically?

Kinda of a "look how long our guy stayed in--you have to listen to him" desperation whine.
After his "wins" in NH, SC and NV--where he has less delegates than Cruz--it's over: His only chance was to actually win and actually build an actual lead in the Super Tuesday races.
Instead, he's falling and Trump appears to be gaining both his and Cruz' voters.

I'm not going to go over the actual math, but say Trump doesn't win those 2 states and Trump, Cruz, and Rubio split delegates with Trump with a plurality of the votes.
What is to stop the RNC from having delegates who voted for bush, carson, and kasich recasting their votes for Mario? Point is, what if the RNC made a deal with Mario promising him more delegates at the Convention if he does his part and keeps it relatively close? I know this would split the party completely. I just don't see the Establishment letting Trump, or by some miracle Cruz, walk away with this. Anyone else feel this way?

Define "amnesty." I, for both practical and humanitarian reasons, would like to see some sort of carrot to go with the stick, some sort of way that a decent, hardworking, otherwise-law-abiding illegal (yes, they do exist - I know some) can become legalize their situation after a demonstration of good faith and behavior. That might mean nothing more than needing to go back home and reapply for a green card, and certainly should not mean citizenship or a blanket pardon...
I think that it will be a lot easier to get compliance with the law if we offer a bit of hope for those that want to live here and are willing to comply with our laws and assimilate. Otherwise there are going to be a lot of very desperate people.

Nope. Not happening.
Both OH and FL are winner-take-all.
Even a 1 point victory by Trump--with Kasich or Rubio 2nd--gets Trump 100% of those delegates.
That's why March 15 is the absolute knock-out--not just that but, we will have passed the point where over half of the total delegates will have been voted.
Trump will have a lead large enough after that, that not even running the table in the remaining winner-take-all states (some 500 delegates) will get the nomination.

Personally, I'd be fine with amnesty of those here right now, if I had confidence that we'd get border security and a change to the economic incentives that are causing them to come here in the first place. That being said, those things aren't anywhere near guaranteed in the current political climate, so I'm pretty sure most people around here are taking a harder stance on the amnesty principle (not without good reason).

Look at the people being silenced on twitter and then recall this excellent post at Belmont Club (response to NSA bulk data mining):
http://preview.tinyurl.com/zwdhcl4
For
those who don't know what this means, it means that the administration
is able to draw a graph (like a network chart) of who is talking to
whom. It is able to say what are the key nodes through which any
business passes, find all its Internet 'friends' and interlocutors and
potentially drill down into the comms themselves --in time series.This would pick up every organization of significance, whatever its purpose.....
The fact that you belong to a large group, for example the 50% of the
US population that is conservative or Republican, does not give you
safety in numbers. Within this large group of millions are a much
smaller number of key leadership nodes. They are the nodes that matter,
the top of the hierarchy mandated by Dunbar's Number.
If you can
control, corrupt or even bait those nodes you can reduce the entire
group to impotence. You can effectively decapitate it, a strategy
applied not only to al-Qaeda but apparently also by the IRS in its hunt
of Tea Party and Republican fundraising groups. The virtual world lets
you dominate the virtual high ground. You don't have to clobber all
Muslims and Republicans. You just have to clobber the key nodes and the
rest will mill around like leaderless ants.

The only non-violent way that change can happen is full on civil disobedience. By that I mean the march on Washington ends in peaceful occupation of the Capital building, White House, etc.

Muslims and Republicans. You just have to clobber the key nodes and the
rest will mill around like leaderless ants.
Amusingly this dovetails into the "Million Rifles March" scenario--the key nodes just aren't actually in DC. They're decentralized around the country at think tanks and NGOs and media outfits and tech firms. I can't even conceive how a hypothetical insurgent group could conduct a coherent and successful campaign against that without becoming compromised nearly instantly given the state of communications. It just wouldn't work without a hell of a lot of prep and boatloads of luck, not as things stand.
Thus I abandon the daydream as futile, every time.

I got off my computer yesterday feeling frustrated and disappointed by all the Trump support. I feel it's foolish to put so much expectation and hope in that man. What bothered me the most is my attitude toward you guys. AosHQ and you Morons are my little slice of heaven I have everyday from all the crap that happens in the political world and I love the camaraderie here.
Point is I'm sorry for being such a bastard lately. You guys are weird and wonderful and so what if you guys like Trump? Ace doesn't call us Morons for nothing, right? So here's my heartfelt apology to the Horde, I'm sorry to those I've pissed off. I'm sorry to the lurkers who've been turned off by it.
With that said I'll tell you my feelings on Trump. As another commented on another site put it: "One can like a man, but hate him as a king."

For
those who don't know what this means, it means that the administration
is able to draw a graph (like a network chart) of who is talking to
whom. It is able to say what are the key nodes through which any
business passes, find all its Internet 'friends' and interlocutors and
potentially drill down into the comms themselves --in time
series.This would pick up every organization of significance, whatever
its purpose.....
=========
Then go back and read that "What I Saw on the Way to the Coup" where it started with the communication black-out, (false-flag terrorist act) to cover the abduction and murder of some 2000 internet voices they'd identified as thought-leaders.

I think Ann has priority issues, and looks for vehicles to carry those issues.
She saw utility in Romney, and in Christie till he turned.
As to her dating Maher, idk, having a life and being in touch with "the other side" is fine by me, and probably helpful in establishing a well rounded belief system, as opposed to being isolated in the echo chamber. Maher the atheist has made waves with liberals by pointing out Christians are nothing like the Muslims of the world.
She promotes her books ... of course. But is she controversial only because that sells? Does her take on McCarthy really help her sell, or does she have a valid and deep point? I think she gets at the root of the "commie infiltration", and that of course generates controversy in PC World.
hurray for Ann

And the notion that he and Perry are somehow both establishment stooges is ludicrous. Willard is establishment but Perry... not so much.
It is not out of line to look at candidate's taxes and, given Trump's lack of any scruple past what is good for Trump, it would likely be prudent to know what his personal and business tax filings look like.

Last night, I got into an argument with my Republican (GOPe) BIL who was shouting over the phone that this income tax business will kill Trump, who is apparently as bad as Hitler. When I say, "Oh, for God's sake, that's ridiculous" and said I didn't think the income stuff would hurt Trump any more than anything else he's said or done has, I was accused of being a Trump fan, which is hilarious.
Just as Trump fans are prone to call you a Rubio or Jeb fan if you express doubts about Donald, the rabid Trump haters (the real Rubio and Jeb fans) call you a Trump groupie if you suggest that he is not Hitler and say he's better than Hillary.
Then my sister got on the phone to tell me Trump is every bit as evil as Hillary. Fox News says so, you see.
So I find myself disliking Trump and yet, when I got off the phone, I fantasized for a minute about how much I will secretly enjoy next Thanksgiving, if Trump could pull it off. My family of GOPe fans and libs will be sitting there bemoaning the End of the World As We know It, and I would be meanspirited enough to sit there feeling a warm glow - although then I'll immediately start fretting about who Teh Donald will appoint to SCOTUS.
However, I don't think that will happen. I think I'll be depressed and the libs will be gloating about President Cankles.

If you really believe "No 'rollback' would ever work" then you're not actually advocating for civil disobedience, you're advocating for civil war.
Posted by: Ghost of kari - WAR at February 25, 2016 11:32 AM (xuouz)
-------------------------------
I was speaking specifically of a march on Washington, its effectiveness. If you march on a rollback, the list of demands would be a mile long, not everyone would be united and the occupation would quickly disband over disparate interests.
Not saying you couldn't march on something limited and focused, like shut down the IRS. But that's the only thing you'll get and ultimately won't mean a thing.
And a demand for dissolution does not have to result in civil war. There are instances of non-violent or relatively non-violent breakup of countries or governments falling (Czechoslovakia, USSR, Romania). Now I fully admit the other type of breakup is more prevalent.
Now a sustained electoral win would work for a rollback. But it would have to be extremely focused on what the end goal is, otherwise the interest groups will tear it apart.

This is all speculation, but I have a fair amount of confidence in it.
Trump does not own $5-10 billion in assets. I expect that he has an array of minority interests in assets which collectively might be valued in the billions. He will have disproportionate controlling interest in many of those, but he does not own them.
He is able to afford a lifestyle. There's no question that he's rich.
But if he has to produce tax returns it will show that he has markedly less income than he'd like to let on.
He keeps saying "I built a great company". What's the company? Trump Enterprises, Inc.? Can you find a 10-K for it?
There isn't a company. There's a collection of brand assignations.
Romney is betting that tax returns will show Trump to be a Potemkin Billionaire.

Regarding Trump. (and to a certain extent Obama)
And it is this:
You know how, unhinged journalists became over the emergence of bloggers.
Because, in essence, bloggers destroyed the illusion of journalists/opinion writers/commenters as professionals-
they were simply guys with an bigger soapbox to stand on.
As an example, say Juan Williams, that guy is a complete moron (not the good kind), I wouldn't take his opinion buying a McDonald's cheeseburger let alone anything political-
he simply had the right connections to guys with money.
Now, Trump is doing the same exact thing to the world of politicians-
this aren't guys who are any better or smarter or who have conducted studies and have a deep understanding of issues,
they are simply schmoes who talk well and have convinced people with money to back them.
Money is the breakpoint.
Trump has shown that.
Any schmoe with money and a gift of gab can run circles around these morons.
Politicians aren't in any way shape or form members of a "profession"
their experience means nothing as we've seen with the Turtle and Boehner and Ryan.
If their experience meant anything, they could've come up with a way to stop Obama or hell, Trump for that matter.
Obama actually proved the same thing, but the MSM was able to play the smarter/wiser game with him
cuz anyone who pointed out that the Emperor was naked was a RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAYYYYCCCIIIISSSS!
The point is proven by Trump using his own money and running his own campaign.
Any businessman with enough money and smarts could beat these monkeys.
Any of you morons with a gift for gab who won the lottery could beat these weasels.
So, to sum up:
Journalists - Not a profession.
Politicians - Not a profession.
STEM majors -still professionals.

I would be surprised if there's any record of a direct request - just talk about troublesome atmosphere, hate breeds terrorism, get one of your guys as an executive and then someone steps up to rid Obama of those troublesome voices.
Same thing happened with the DC/NYC media - so many of them are related to someone in the WH, plus the WH Press office's very aggressive treatment of any reporter/news outlet that dares to criticize, means things just go easiest when the go with Obama. Doubt they've ever had to demand good coverage, it's just that they have the right people picking the stories, and pesky journalists like Atkisson are suppressed, harassed and eventually let go.

Ghost of kari - WAR, I have watched for 30 years of my life how the left rose to power. Yes a small number of rich marxists are in charge, but they could not have gotten there without a network of willing helpers.
There is no deprogramming them by taking out theirleaders. There is no reasoning with people who arrived at their conclusions through pure emotion. Many HAVE tried to engage them in logic and debate. They are now silencing us for daring to do so. Their followers are cheering this on and in fact,helping to do so.
Both sides have to want to talk. We do. They do not.

so lets look at that time line again
Feb 2015, Department of Homeland Security Says sovereign citizen groups on the right are a greater terrorist threat than ISIS
Jan 8, 2016 Administration officals meet with Silicon Valley CEOs, including Facebook and Twitter, to request their assistance in monitoring and blocking terrorist voices on social media
Jan 12, 2016 Milo is "shadow banned". And then Stace McCain, and Adam Baldwin, and who knows else
Feb 13, 2016 Obama announces that Obama for America is dispatching "Truth Teams" to the internet to combat voices that attack his record.
The Truth Team website highlights the effort's three goals, each of which have their own website:
AttackWatch.com will defend the president against false attacks,
KeepingGOPHonest.com will fact check Republicans claims about their own records,
and KeepingHisWord.com will tout the presidents record

I'd as soon see them become converts as see them suffer. There's a certain mental anguish in that, and a convert is twice as ardent, as I noted above.
And their leadership will suffer seeing their base evaporate once it's provided, for the first time in this generation's time on earth, with a real choice, fair and square, between freedom and serfdom.
Their whole worldview revolves around depriving people of fair choices. That's what liberalism IS.
The treatment IS the cure. Virtue is, in fact, its own reward.

No, it was because Buffett's compensation is 99.9% in the form of capital gains which is only 15% (plus the new ObamaCare tax after a certain amount so 20%)
The secretary would be at 39.6% for her marginal rate, plus the SS tax, FICA, MediCare, etc. because she is paid a "wage", not a capital gain.
For most people, capital gains are some sort of side investment but their main income comes from a wage.
Most of Wall Street in the top tier make all of their money through capital gains.
I personally think Republicans should not have lined up to protect this loophole for Wall Street billionaires, but I'm more of a populist conservative.

Second comment on this ghost because I didn't go look at the video before I commented but just spoke of his current policy statements.
This video is HORRIBLE and if you think that high taxes on the rich (as Trump is advocating there) and interventionist and crony government action is any way to fix an economy... the kindest thing I can say is you are wrong.
Trump was advocating policies then (while wildly exaggerating a mild recession into a "depression") that may have benefited him personally but would have been bad for the economy in general.

I don't think it's out of line, I definitely would want to see the Clinton's financial records with that ridiculous "foundation" of theirs.

I'm fine with a capital gain tax rate being lower, but after say $100 million maybe they should just pay the same rate as a wage earner?
I just would prefer to make a deal where we offset that somewhere else say for upper middle class tax relief.
That's why I like a flat tax where there's one rate for everyone.
Warren Buffett is a piece of shit, but I do think underneath the preening hypocrisy, there is a good point that the tax code is basically discriminating based on the industry you work in.
If you sell a product and make millions in profits from your business, you pay basically double the tax somebody that trades securities on Wall Street despite having the same income.

No doubt Romney has been drafted by the GOPe to assist with getting the interloper out of the race. Romney, like all the other prominent Republicans and conservative writers/pundits, no doubt finds the spectacle of Trump distasteful and problematic. And dignity, decorum are more important than winning, as Romney so deftly demonstrated in 2012.

Before Donald got rolling this might have been effective.

All of these dumb shits decided instead to duke it our for 2nd and 3rd place.
They could have blown up Trump on Day 1 but they decided to tear each other apart while Trump was leading by 20 points the whole time.
And now they are out of time.

No... no I don't.
Ted Cruz has gone by a short form for his middle name (Edward) his entire life... as do many sons who are named after their fathers.
Insisting on calling him Rafael is: A) confusing as that is the name his FATHER is known by, B) a showing of pettiness as Scribbler knows he goes by Ted and C) a kinda racist attempt to remind people that Cruz has a foreign name.

How did you get that nickname, anyway? Did you come home one day with a branch in your mouth?
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at February 25, 2016 12:36 PM (TjTgM)
'Ted' is a very common nickname for Edward as well as Theodore.

When the right does it, it's not usually racist, but when lefties do it? Oh yeah, it's racist. A lot of them insist on calling him Rafael, and they also call Jindal "Piyush" and Nikki Haley "Nimrata". It's their way of implying that the person is a self-loathing minority because they use a nickname. It's racist because it implies that people of some ethnicities aren't entitled to use anglicized names.

Heh. My father was known as "Ted" since his childhood, despite the fact that neither of his given names could remotely be rendered into "Ted". He ran a business under that name for many years, too. I daresay that most people who knew him never knew his real given names, not that it was ever any kind of secret.

It definitely should but at least that cocksniffer is in prison, it was looking for the longest time like he'd skate.
Yon makes some noise indicating he thinks the whole case, and Chris Christie too, is tied to Chinese infiltration of state governments, but he leaves that mostly unspoken.

Both actually... as well other names that are close to Edward like Edwin and Edmond. My ex, for instance was an Edwin the 4th. He went by Ed, his dad went by Ted and his granddad went by their middle name.

I married an American, I love him and I love living in North Dakota with him, plus, as you said, total reverence for the law. Being deported for falsely voting would devastate our marriage/our lives/our families lives.
>Is there any mechanism in place to ensure you are a citizen...
hmm, I don't think so. I have a valid ND license, I can provide residency for 16 years .... although in my case, I live in a teeny town so everyone knew me as the outsider/immigrant from the get-go, so if I went to the town fire station to vote, they would not allow me, "if" they understood the restrictions of my legal status.

Heh, there was a tough, well-respected old geezer in the beach town where I hang out who was nicknamed Susie. When he was a kid his mom ran a boarding house and he had to hang the laundry. He'd make a joke of it by wearing a sunbonnet while doing the chore, and the boarders called him Sunbonnet Susie. After that he was never again called by his real name for the rest of life.

That's
why March 15 is the absolute knock-out--not just that but, we will have
passed the point where over half of the total delegates will have been
voted.
Trump will have a lead large enough after that, that not
even running the table in the remaining winner-take-all states (some 500
delegates) will get the nomination.
Posted by: RoyalOil at February 25, 2016 11:16 AM (fQ/0p)
Trump has to win 8 states by majority (not plurality) vote or it goes to a brokered convention.

Thanks for the alert! Love seeing that booster land! Real Buck Rogers stuff. SpaceX is not optimistic about the chances of this one landing because of where they are having to attempt to put the payload, but lowering our expectations will make a success that much sweeter. If they stick one of these open ocean landings it's going to be a big deal.
Here's a link to the launch stream (liftoff is scheduled for around 6:45ET).
