Leaks Show CIA Pressured Yemen To Release Al-Qaeda Leader & Agency Asset Anwar al-Awlaki Explosive new recordings released by the Houthi government of Yemen pile more earth atop mountains of existing evidence of the US government’s support for the very same terrorists it has claimed to be waging war against for nearly two decades. The Moral Guidance Department, a branch of the Yemeni Armed Forces of the revolutionary Houthi government of Yemen published last week a number of secret documents and phone calls from the former regime of longtime president Ali Abdullah Saleh. New York law enforcement officials made an unusual discovery in 2017 when they found seven sharks swimming in a pool in a man’s basement. According to the New York Attorney General’s office, Joshua Seguine, 40, pleaded guilty to illegal possession with intent to sell seven sandbar sharks this week. He was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and sentenced to a conditional discharge. “The tide has turned for Joshua Seguine, who was convicted and held accountable for his unlawful acts,” NY Attorney General Letitia James said in a press release. “Let this serve as a loud and clear message: We will not tolerate anyone who preys on protected species to line their pockets.” The more I read about younger generations I ask the following question.

Pot For Shots. And, The Greenhouse of Walled Lake, a marijuana dispensary in Walled Lake, Michigan, is giving anyone over the age of 21 with proof of vaccination a free pre-rolled joint. The “Pot for Shots” promotion is a “way of saying thank you for helping to end this pandemic and getting us back to normal,” the dispensary said. Nearly one-quarter of employed Americans who probably or definitely won’t get vaccinated would consider getting their shot if offered a cash bonus or stipend, according to a report by the Society for Human Resource Management. And yet, as of the most recent tally, 88% of organizations are unsure or have no plans to offer any incentives to encourage vaccinations. Shocked. Shocked I say. Here's my shocked face.

Acquaintance of mine once asked for advice on her new business logo. Well the initials of the business were S.S. - and the S's were presented crossed at the center and each at a 45 degree angle. They were frankly not the roundest S's either.
I said I unfortunately found it too evocative of a sw*stika, and she should really rethink. Business was in NY of all places. Disagreed completely and totally ignored my advice. I hate when people do that. When I give you advice, it's because I know something. At least be polite and contemplate. If you don't want to know, don't fucking ask.

Due to circumstances, I adopted a daughter out some years ago as an infant. Knew the names of the new parents from adoption papers. She looked me up about 5 years ago. We became close. She and her daughter came and visited not long after that. She died suddenly in her early 30's. Her adoptive father called and told me. It was horrible. Oldest daughter (they became close) and I flew out for the memorial. Haven't talked to him for over a year. Granddaughter is 6. And a real cutie. Overdue for the call.

Also, I'm a pretty even-tempered guy, even when someone steals my fucking car for no real reason, shreds the rear tires off, and makes me pay $600+ to get it out of jail. Angry as I was at the condo complex for everything that happened (and I was pissed), I still retained some degree of equanimity when I went to pay the ransom. That's when I encountered the drooling inbreed at Ace Towing of 30 S. Tejon St., Denver. And I'm not kidding. She had that inbred fish-face, she was dumb as a stump and twice as ugly, with a heavy dose of irrational, consanguinated aggression added to the mix. She'd be living in a cave and eating wayward travelers in a less developed country. After I got ejected from the office, I stood around the curb smoking until one of the drivers (a normal human with parents from different families) came out, and he got me squared away.

It sounds like Erin is going crazy because of the pandemic isolation. Also, it could be that her husband is simply a clean, high achiever, and she is messy, low achiever and resents him. Which also might be because she doesn't leave the house EVER.

264 All kidding aside, I have just finished being mesmerized, nay, captivated by watching the movie "Tolkien", the allegedly loosely-fact-based story of how JRR Tolkien, whom I believe to be the greatest writer of the 20th Century, found his muse as well as the love of his life, his wife Edith.
I absolutely loved this movie and highly recommend it. Dare I say, it was beautiful. Posted by: Sharkman at March 23, 2021 10:52 PM (WOG6U) Agreed. It was a lovely movie. I took my family to NYC to see the Tolkien exhibit at the Morgan Library. It featured a lot of his notes regarding construction of The Hobbit, and went into his WWI experiences, and his college classmates. Simply devastating. Afterwards, I was close to tears thinking about what a monumental waste of the best and brightest that war turned out to be, especially from Tolkien's perspective.

I looked up minimum parachute height for normal skydiving. 2000' is apparently the absolute minimum opening height. 2500' is for less experienced, and the newbie minimum is 5000' or so. You can jump from lower than the 2000' but this high skill stuff with special equipment. You need a chute that can open very quickly. BASE jumpers are in this class. Very large pilot chutes are used, pre deployed. You do not reach terminal velocity at these low heights, and that requires a lot of modification and skill. 100' seems to be about the lowest height. And you've got to be one hell of good jumper to do this. BASE jumping is one of the most dangerous "extreme sports" there is.

It was a traveling salesman who was in Hiroshima on August 6 and Nagasaki on August 9. Unhurt both times. Forget where he was, exactly, in each city (in Nagasaki probably in town/near the port, near the actual aim point, as the bomb missed by miles). He died not that long ago.
Though my favorite has to be the Korean guy who served in the Japanese, Soviet, and German armies before being captured by us in Normandy. Kept getting captured and then re-purposed by new armies. Though I'm not sure his story is fully confirmed/documented. Though there were lots of oddball and "Ostruppen" at Normandy, especially Utah beach, where one GI, explaining to a superior that they couldn't communicate with any of the POWs because none of them spoke much German, said "just who are we fighting here, anyway, sir?".

Paul Rothschild was the LA rock band The Doors producer. He had this idea that Jim Morrison, the lead singer, and Janis Joplin would make a great celebrity couple, and get some publicity going, and the rest of it. So he arranged an introduction.
Morrison ended up being a wanker, and Janis Joplin knocked him out cold over the head with an empty whiskey bottle. Posted by: Common Tater at March 23, 2021 11:45 PM (T3zWB) 468

My tiny neighborhood of 33 homes has an HOA which is by design, both effective and weak.
Not a slew of petty regulations, just some solid guidelines about keeping homes in the original pallete of colors (more than you might think), no tall fences defining the front yard, basic yardcare, no junkers in the driveways, etc. HOA President is an RN, tough as nails, and works hand in fist with a shark of an attorney so as to keep the dues up to date. I'm pretty much the Lead on the building committee, and our decisions are flexible as to big backyard decks, outdoors kitchens, garden sheds and the like. One thing though. These are Craftsman Style homes, and any exterior improvements WILL remain in that style. Only set of plans I've vetoed in 12 years involved glass panels vs. porch handrails, stainless cables vs. upright fluted wood spindles and well, you get the idea. Zits on a Mona Lisa. Otherwise? We've never written a citation for grass too high, or litter or etc. Ever. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at March 23, 2021 11:47 PM (QzJWU) 472

I enjoy having a life free of HOA harrassment. So we never buy houses with HOAs. I understand the risk so always go for established neighborhoods free of HOAs.
Now we do get the occasional neighbor with the plastic pink flamingos in their front yard, or a house with a front yard that looks like they are having a permanent garage sale. I look at the pink flamingos as a type of Floridiana. The Rio Linda types though usually get bought out and their front yard antiques make for a great fire sale. These houses usually get torn down especially when they are within walking distance of a golf course. Posted by: Floridachick at March 23, 2021 11:49 PM (HV0dA) 479

For the essay portion, assuming it's not mind-blowingly specific and difficult like VA, don't "do" the practice essays. Read them, ponder them, make some notes, and then read the model answer. If you understand the model answer, move on. If you don't then work on that question. But spending time writing essay answers just to practice answering essays (which you should've learned by high school) is a waste of time, particularly if you're right.

I had the weirdest feeling that I wasn't going to make it through surgery today. So I spent the last two weeks writing letters to all the people I care about (Wife, children, parents, friends, etc.). I wrote each of them a handwritten letter telling them how much they meant to me. I didn't want to leave without saying that. I carried the letters with me today, to be delivered if necessary. It was strangely cathartic. As it turns out, I'm fine. I put the letters in my safe.

None around here. That was a fixture of my childhood as well. My paternal grandmother was a Winn-Dixie gal, and I remember going with her as she bought groceries as a little boy. Looking them up, the Winn-Dixie chain is still going, but there are none around here. Bi-Lo in it's heyday, bought out the Winn-Dixie chain, turns out. My grandmother referred to them as "the Dixie store". The Winn-something conglomeration bought out the Dixie Home chain of 100+ stores, which were around here, and Winn-Dixie was born.

In 1979, Blue Oyster Cult OG drummer/founder Albert Bouchard spoofed The Cars' "Just What I Needed" in a demo called "You're not the One (I was Looking for)". The band, to his chagrin, voted to put it on their '79 album "Mirrors". It's actually a fun song.

Nice thing about Food Lion-
They are/were a NC company, and the long-time CEO was in their ads. A friend who was a cashier at a local Food Lion sent that CEO a High School graduation invitation (we know what that means). Dammit if Tom Smith didn't send her a $20 check (that was money in 1979) Also, Food Lion (long since Belgian-owned) has never hassled me about the damn masks.

Maybe* someone can play a brass instrument through a mask, but something with a reed like a clarinet? WT...?
Posted by: SFGoth at March 24, 2021 12:16 AM (KAi1n) A brass instrument could be played while wearing a mask, just not very effectively. The placement of the lips (Embouchure) on the mouthpiece is very important and that can't be done while wearing a mask. Posted by: Opus at March 24, 2021 12:38 AM (04sk3) 554

I was telling Miley -- somehow, from my youth, I had sort of a distaste for the Food Lion name. I had this image of a more downmarket thing that was more of a glorified convenience store that a real grocery store. I have that memory of one from way back. However, the modern Food Lions are pretty good. My mother would go to them, and one of her best friends preferred them, but I still had that image. And now, I see they're fine. And I discovered their whole milk is the best tasting of any of the local stores. That will likely change, of course, as whatever diaries they get what from will shuffle around.

Worked a summer at Winn-Dixie, after my freshman year in college. My aunt and grandmother lived in Myrtle Beach, stayed with them that summer.

You'd have to drink a whole bottle of NyQuil and maybe another half to get that Robo-trip effect pretty much. And I don't know what the 10 -20x normal dose of the doxylamine antihistamine would do to you. If you did that with the kind that has the acetaminophen in it, you'd probably hit the LD50 for liver damage. So it makes no sense.

I'm remembering the grocery stores of my childhood, the Winn-Dixie and yes, a Piggly-Wiggly in Ft. Inn that mother preferred in the '70s. You didn't take the shopping carts outside of the store -- they stayed inside. The bag boys would load your stuff in big paper bags, and load those on these hand-truck type carts and carry them out to your car. Those were the "take the stuff outside" carts. I can't remember when they stopped that, and it became self-serve with the inside carts. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at March 24, 2021 01:08 AM (Mzdiz) 588

Yudhishthira's Dice, your inbred towing story makes me remember when my friend's car was nicked by a predatory tow at another friend's apartment when we were in college. They hooked it up when she stopped to run something inside (flashers on) to a classmate, would not tell her where they were taking it, and off they went.
We had to look up who had the contract and get her out (from Hysattsville, MD outside NE D.C.) to the tow yard in the shadow of the Jessup prison, one of many tow yards there, none of them marked, in the middle of the night. We thought we saw her grandma's old car in one yard, as the pit mixes hurled themselves against the fence snarling, and when the fellow (straight out of Deliverance) came to the fence he would not answer whether it was hers or not, but kept repeating mindlessly "FIFF-tee DOLL-ers ur you CAIN'T SEE THE CARRRR!" until we held up money.

The age of Ric Ocasek is interesting. Being in high school when the Cars came out, I can tell you that absolutely no kid knew he was 35 which in an era where the about the same age Stones were practically Frank Sinatra would have astounded us. The Cars were considered New Wave (although the bones of the tunes were all classic rock) so we figured they were early 20s like all the other New Wave bands were. Also, nobody knew how old Debbie Harry of Blondie was, either.

There used to be a good steak house, called Ryan's. They had several restaurants around here. It was a chain, but a very local chain of just a few here and over in Spartanburg. Very good. They sold out and became a all-you-can-eat. That was around the time I was going to Clempson Cow Collidge, and I came back and wanted to go to Ryan's. I was warned. I did not heed the warnings. That a very traumatic experience. Huge land whales, whole families of them, feeding at the trough. My God. It was disgusting. Taking plates and piling shit on them on and shoveling them in their moufs. Thankfully, it didn't last. That was the end of Ryan's. Took a good name and ruined it.

Sheesh. I take a news day off and everything turns to shit.... Oh wait, that's everyday anyways. Oh well. Reflecting on Ace's stuff today, I grabbed this blurb from Julie Kelly's AG article re an OathKeeper that denies even being an OathKeeper:
He was arrested at his home on January 19; prosecutors successfully argued Caldwell should remain behind bars until his trial because he believes the 2020 election was stolen, a position frequently cited by the Justice Department as a reason to deny bail for many defendants. The New Deplorable Hotness -- Believing the election was stolen is a terrorist conspiracy; no bail for you. Firebomb a federal building, blow up police HQs, attempt to burn alive officers; okey-dokey, no charges prosecuted. The polls say 55% of Americans, of all stripes, believe the election wasn't on the up and up. That's a lot of terrorists. Thanks for the ONT Mis Hum.

Sad to see that George Segal passed away. I remember him most from The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox and the sitcom Just Shoot Me! Sure he did a bunch of other movies but that one stood out as he was in the lead and it was the right time for me to see it many times. One thing I always heard about Segal was that there was a time he was as big as anyone in Hollywood, but for some reason he didn't make it to the really big time. It might have been the choice of roles. I might have been one of those situations where you should have zagged, when you zigged. But he was a major actor one way or the other.
I mostly remember him from Just Shoot Me!. That was a very clever sitcom with a lot of inventive stuff to offer. The show petered out pretty badly as so many of them do. But the writers themselves talked about how they put their best stuff in the early seasons because they didn't know how long it would last. Posted by: Quint at March 24, 2021 04:59 AM (OgcCr) 724

That show was a perfect example of the standard sitcom arc. The first season usually is not that great, because they spend so much time introducing the characters and the actors are still trying to figure out who the characters are. The second and third seasons are usually the best because that is when the writers throw in all their best ideas before the show can be cancelled.
Aside from being a funny and witty show, there is one other thing about it I will always remember. Segal's character had a nemesis he was always in competition with. The never shown nemesis was one Donald J. Trump. Trump was never on the show, but he was mentioned countless times. For that reason alone Just Shoot Me! will likely never come back into major syndication. I have the CD's and it is fun that he and Trump are always in some crazy bet or competition.

Mornin', folk,
Going to work from home today. The Gnaw-luns area is getting slammed with what the news readers optimistically call "severe weather" -- steady rain with a good chance of flooding. Where I work often floods, at least the streets where I'd park. That was how I lost the BMW in 2019. Naturally I'm being careful. Might need to stay at home again tomorrow. Once that would have been a welcome break. Now, after the 5 months of house arrest last year, it just means looking at the same walls again.

George Segal is gone? He might not have been a household name, but he was a major actor for a long time. He played the title role in the Japanese POW camp flick King Rat, for instance, and he was Robert Redford's chief partner-in-crime, Andy Kelp, in The Hot Rock. He dabbled in the spy genre with The Quiller Memorandum, and played a mom-henpecked police detective in the early serial killer story (a William Goldman novel and script) called No Way to Treat a Lady.

Well I see on Insty's site that two black teens have set a disabled white man on fire and killed him in New York state.
Just more of that white supremacy we've been seeing so much of lately. Really is a shame how so many innocent minority types are being set upon by vicious white racists. Why just yesterday that sweet refugee-congressperson Ilhan Omar (not her real name, just the one she used for immigration fraud purposes) was tweeting about that awful white man who killed all those poor innocent muslims in the Colorado grocery store. Such a shame we live in a society fraught with such overwhelming white raaaaaacism and hateful unfairness to sweet, innocent, law-abiding refugees, ain't it!

Talk about penis size, a bride goes off to spend the wedding night with her new husband only to discover he's been amputated on one leg at the knee. She goes back downstairs where her mother is washing dishes, in tears. "But Mom, she said,"He has a foot and a half." "Hell, you wash the dishes," her Mom said, "I'll have some of that myself."

Segal was also in Roller coaster. That was a strange film. I recall it as a kid and to be honest I can't remember much of it other than some mad bomber was blowing up roller coasters. The thing I do recall is they shot some scenes at Kings Dominion in Virginia. They barely alluded to it, but I think they mentioned Doswell. The roller coaster was called "The Rebel Yell". Of course that was changed in recent years, because of of it was.

Tracking a "Media Mail" package through USPS is fascinating. Order a book from a used bookshop in Atlanta. In less than 48-hours, a USPS contractor has moved that package from GA to within 10-miles of my house in suburban Boston.
It takes anywhere from 2-9 days for the same package to make it those last 10-miles. I could walk to the distribution center, pick it up, and walk back in a day if I needed to. They suck. Period. Posted by: Doctor.Boom at March 24, 2021 07:36 AM (NYS7S) 788
