The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

“Our industry is fast becoming a breeding ground for mental health illness. … What sort of twisted standard of beauty are we creating for the younger generations and how does it affect those with mental health disorders such as Body Dysmorphic Disorder?” Dr. Steven Harris owner of the Harris Clinic in London

Quote II

"Being who I am, I think people at the least will be interested in what my work will sound like, which is very nice. But on the other hand, if it's not exactly what they want to hear, or if I don't try to sound Van Halen-y enough for them, they'll hate me and won't give me the time of day. I'm fully prepared for a wave of hate when my music releases because it won't be what people think it'll be. I'm not trying to be my father, I'm trying to be me." Wolfgang Van Halen


Quote III

“We never should have been debating the budget at this moment. While Afghanistan was falling, while Americans are stuck there, while young Afghans were falling, clinging to our airplanes, this is what they were focused upon,”Rep. Kevin McCarthy

Quote IV

"I don't think any human being who has a heart and soul would support efforts to profit off of people's agony and pain if they're trying to depart a country and fearing for their lives. We are evacuating people free of cost because that is the right step to take and certainly we wouldn't be supportive of profiting off people who are desperate to get out of a country.White House press secretary Jen Psaki


Spoken like a true government teat sucker "Free of cost". Honey, nothing is free of cost. Besides they aren't stranded correct?

Instead of using rulers she learned a subtle craft. The last nun brew-master.

It seems that every town in the southern German state of Bavaria — no matter how small — has a brewery, and beer is brewed by all sorts of people. And before you judge farmer Zausinger for his morning beer run, consider who he bought it from: Sister Doris Engelhard, a 72-year-old Franciscan nun. She claims to be the world's last nun brewmeister, and woe unto anyone who would argue that title.

Sister Doris has strong opinions about her beer and when people should drink it. In short: Always, especially during the 40-day penance period leading up to Easter. "During Lent, fasting is difficult for me," she says. "Eating one meal a day is tough. But beer is liquid — it doesn't count as food when you fast. A strong beer gives me strength!"

Multi-million dollar enterprise holds multi-billionaire to his pledge. Billionaire Ron Perelman is losing the naming rights to a new residential college at Princeton after he stiffed the university on a promised $65 million gift.

He and his daughter Debra, the CEO of beauty company Revlon—in which Perelman’s firm, MacAndrews and Forbes, has an 86 percent stake—had pledged $65 million to the school in 2018 through their foundation. Evidently they never fully followed through.

“The University has terminated the gift agreement with the Perelman Family Foundation, Inc. to name a residential college because the Foundation has not made payments due under that agreement,” a Princeton spokesperson told The Daily Beast. “We remain grateful for the Perelman family’s long-standing support,” he added.

According to WH Spokesbitch, Jen Psaki: About 1,500 Americans including 23 California students stranded hanging around in Afghanistan

As many as 1,500 Americans including about a dozen students from California are still stuck in Afghanistan with less than a week before the US intends to end its evacuation mission.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the numbers during a press conference on Wednesday and said the US has been in ‘direct contact’ with about 500 Americans to give them ‘specific instructions for how to get to the airport safely’ in Kabul.

The status of the remaining 1,000 Americans is still being determined, according to the State Department.

‘We’re aggressively reaching out to them multiple times a day… to determine whether they still want to leave and to get them the most up-to-date information and instructions for them on how to do so,’ Blinken said.

Chevy Bolts recalled. Ooops.

If you’ve been paying attention to the EV industry, you’ll know that Chevrolet has just issued a recall of the Bolt EV. It’s the third Bolt recall that’s taken place over the past several months, and they’re all related to a string of battery fires.

The big thing is that this recall is far more encompassing than the last two. The earlier events focussed on a handful of Bolt models, but this time Chevrolet has issued a recall of every single Bolt and Bolt EUV. And that's arguably the absolute worst thing to happen to the electric car industry right now.

Last night we covered OnlyFans and their new upcoming business model. Hold on a cotton picking minute. That didn't last long.

OnlyFans reverses porn ban after public backlash
The porn ban was widely criticized for endangering the livelihoods of sex workers on OnlyFans.

After widespread public outcry, OnlyFans has canceled its plan to ban sexually explicit content on the site.

Plaintiff attorneys. What are they good for?

Spencer Elden, 30, has an unique claim to fame: he was the naked, swimming baby whose photo graces the cover of Nirvana's seminal 1991 album Nevermind. He's made a lot of his youthful fame over the years, but is now suing the band claiming that the image was pornographic.


Guess Mommy & Daddy don't have deep pockets. Click Bang Kurt Cobain doesn't.

KEEPING FAITH This Morning fans’ horror as woman marries her brother’s killer and vows to prove his innocence after 32 years in jail

AN American woman who married her brother's killer after he served 32 years in prison has horrified This Morning viewers.

Crystal Straus married John Tiedjen at his home in Cleveland, Ohio at the weekend as he awaits a retrial over the death of Brian McGary in June 1989.

Missing a package? It isn't always the usual suspect pilfering your stuff.

Aug. 24 (UPI) -- A Connecticut homeowner who reviewed security camera footage to find out what happened to her missing Amazon package was shocked to see the thief was a black bear.

Kristin Levine, of Bristol, posted a video to Facebook showing the bear taking the package from her front step and walking down her driveway with the pilfered parcel.

If you didn't want the job, why didn't you just say so?Genius Award Winner.

Paul Marcum, who witnesses say flashed a Nazi salute and chanted “Heil Hitler” at a raucous Birmingham Board of Education meeting last week, has lost his job as a tennis instructor at the Sports Club of West Bloomfield.

What a remarkable story and what an incredible human being. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Recently retired Sgt. Ezra Maes first made headlines for his 2018 heroism after he amputated his own leg in a crumpled M1 Abrams tank in order to help the other members of his crew.

Maes, who at the time of the accident was participating in an Atlantic Resolve exercise in Slovakia, was awakened when his tank began careening downhill after multiple brake failures.

16 Hey, the ONT returned! Thought it pulled a GoPe, and disappeared after teasing this time it meant to stick around.

At least it isn't spamming us with donate or post harder, so obviously it is a more evolved life form than the primeval muck that is the GoPe.

55 Because they can't argue using accepted facts, logic, or reason. They have no knowledge of history or context of the times. So they are reduced to claiming you are a "hater" for disagreeing with them.

Instead of formal discussion, they just eliminate you. That's the best they can do.

79 Hey everybody. Hey ONT.

Re Wolfgang's quote above, for his first album he should play it both ways. Record and publish five songs his style and five songs in his father's style.

Of course the initial reaction will be that the old-style VH stuff is better, but I'd bet his own music will grow on people.

87 California allowed pro sports players to file workers comp claims 20 to 40 years after the alleged workplace 'injury' occurred. And they didn't have to have played for a California team. Just had to have played a game or practiced or signed their contract in California. Every other worker in CA had to file their claim within one year. That's how f'd up CA is.

141 "The status of the remaining 1,000 Americans is still being determined, according to the State Department.

'We're aggressively reaching out to them multiple times a day...to determine whether they still want to leave and to get them the most up-to-date information and instructions for them on how to do so,' Blinken said."


To me the best and maybe only way that left-behind Americans could get a bit of temporary safety from every faction is for them to go to the Swiss Embassy or the embassies of Muslim neutrals like Morocco, and ask for asylum.

For that to be an option, however, Biden will have to cut a deal with the Taliban to let Americans get to a neutral embassy (or consulate if there are any in Kandahar or other large Afghan towns), and get a promise from neutral countries that they will give temporary asylum to Americans in their embassy.

Actually, I'm wondering if that's a last-ditch plan Biden and Blinken have been thinking about since the beginning, and are now implementing in-secret. Biden wants US troops out of harm's way ASAP to try to save his treasonous ass, and people still in Kandahar are unlikely to get to Kabul airport in time.

164 Imma say I do not believe that 1500 number. That is some category of Americans, but it is not all of them. I have linked here before CENTCOMS count of contractors and as of April there were some 6300 US citizen contractors. Read a story that there was an issue because they were all supposed to remain after we bugged out, and obviously they aren't there to do maintenance on Blackhawks now. So some contract issues. Also, some 600 staff at the Embassy were to remain after the transition.

So the number had been in the 15k range. We have heard some 3kish Americans have been evacuated. That does not leave 1500. Yeah, I know, no math. But its bullshit.

Ya gotta look at the pic in it's totality: She's on her way back to the office after meeting up with me at the little cafe in the backround.

203 Rick Ruben is another record producer I admire. I think my favorite works of his are the American Series with Johnny Cash. Done at the end of Cash's life and after Nashville had abandoned him, Rubin and Cash somehow found each and produced 4 albums that are Cash's last will and testament to the world. This perspective in particular applies to American IV where Cash meditates about his life and soon to arrive passing. Rubin pared everything down leaving Cash's voice, frail, formidable, and profound, delivering not so much music but a sermon.

264 I had a light pink denim miniskirt I favored, because it never blew around in the wind. I could count on it. It was bizarre with my brown boots and white hard hat with the mean-ass safety bear stickers. I also had a leather miniskirt but those damned things stretch out and then they look like hell. These days my skirts are longer but I still wear them to work and to the jobsites. If great-grandma could cross the old west wearing skirts, I don't think it is a stretch to wear them these days. The longer skirts preserve modesty when climbing ladders and such.

289 If there were a serial criminal in your neighborhood, would you rather have a description of him that included only the iris pattern of his left eye, or one that included, height, weight, hair color, skin color, identifying tattoos or scars and clothing?

Because, in essence, this is the difference between the spike protein based vaccines (pfizer, Astra-Zeneca and Jansen), and natural immunity from having the disease. When exposed to whole virus (whether from vaccination or disease), the immune system gets multiple protein elements of the virus (capsule, spike, binding proteins, etc.) to imprint off of, not just the spike, and thus a more robust and well rounded immune response. Less likely to be thrown off track by a single amino acid mutation, more "data points" to identify the bad guy.

322 285 Funny, but I swear that here in NoVA, I see almost as many Teslas on the road as I do Chevvies, and Teslas has only been in business for a few years NOT decades!
Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar

My keen observations have noted that Teslas appear in direct proportion to the amount of virtue signaling for a given population. Here in New Mexico we are still working our way through Buick LeSabres and Chevy Suburbans.
======
Comrade Hrothgar lives in the Bureaucratic Blue-Bubble Beaverville section of Virginia where the uppah-class D.C. drones live. Those people are virtue signaling to contact the moon, so I imagine that Teslas are not so rare there. There are a few Teslas in Cincinnati, but you rarely see them beyond the I-275 loop. APparently they are afraid that if they enter Butler or Warren Counties they will be attacked by a mob of War Boys in pickups, SUVs, minivans, and El Caminos.

338 A cabin like that needs no central heating, just a nice big wood-fired cookstove. Once you get it fired up, you really appreciate the heat.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

Gramma's farmhouse was like that in the late 50's/early 60's. Only two (big) rooms downstairs and small bedrooms upstairs but the stove kept the place pretty well heated when needed. In the dead of winter, Grammi would stack the quilts on top of you so thick that you hurt all over when you got up in the morning.

You'd stumble downstairs for heat, hot coffee - even the kids - and bacon or ham and biscuits.

I need to get back to something like that.

391 There is a bit more to the story of the two Pilots at the Perl harbor attack who managed to get their fighters airborne. To get to their planes they had to drive their crappy 1930's automobile on ultra crappy 1930's tires at speeds peaking at 100 MPH. When they managed to get their crappy P-40's airborne they managed to down two Japanese planes. They landed after they ran out of ammo, but were ordered to stay on the ground.

When the second wave of attacking planes arrived, they said "screw this bull shit" and went airborne again, managing to shoot down 4 more Japanese planes. The pilot who shot down 4 of the 6 planes was nominated for the Medal of Honor, but it was reduced to a Distinguished Flying Cross because he had disobeyed orders to stay out of the fight. Lord only knows how many more Americans would have been killed by the planes they shot down.

Sounds like business opportunity for a small shop to reverse engineer those modules and make replacements. A little RasPi, a little 3-D printing to get the housing right, would probably work better than the originals.

Unless they get sued for patent or copywrite violations.

Detectable antibodies persist in the blood stream for varying lengths of time. Neighbors of ours (hubs and wife) had COVID in Nov 2020, and just last week had an antibody test (nine months after the illness). Husband tested positive for antibodies, wife was negative.

If you're wondering about having had the COVIDz in the last several months, an antibody test is a good place to start.

I did the same thing. Shelled out not a small sum for the T-Detect antibody test. Results were negative because of one of the following:
Exposure was too long ago to be detected.
False negative.
We don't know.

At this point, I figure everyone has been exposed to C-19. Some people have a natural immunity to it. Pretty soon, 2/3 of us will have no immunity to any bugs.

497 SFGoth, Karl Wolff, SS- und Polizeifuhrer in Italy. He attempted to limit/moderate the heinous, brutal reprisal tactics used in response to partisan attacks, while Smiling Albert and the Wehrmacht enthusiastically embraced them. Wolff's misgivings were probably mostly tactical - ineffective, counter-productive - since he was heavily involved in the Reich's other mass crimes against humanity.

How he survived the post-war (he lived to 84) I'll never understand, but I haven't looked that far ahead yet. Maybe because he was the main one scheming to surrender in Italy even before Hitler's death and the subsequent surrender from Donitz. And he did manage to end the festivities in Italy a few days earlier.

My understanding is that the antibody test may not give an accurate result if too much time has passed. Three months? There is a tcell test which is more definitive. I don't know how readily available it is or how expensive it is. Tcells for SARS appear to reside for a long period. Studies on some of the survivors of SARS 1 IN 2003 showed the presence of tcells 13 years later. Will it make a difference if she can show she has had the vid? State of Washington could care less. Right now our hope rests on the religious exemption which has to be signed off by an MD. Figure that one out. Publius is definitely the one to query on that subject. He is a wealth of information.

Coated don't have the lube. If the coating is decent at minimizing lead residue, the price difference vs. plated is appealing.

But as noted I don't want the filth, or possibly lead residue, from using lubed lead bullets in the lever rifle. But I'd welcome the savings of *coated* lead, no lube, if they are good on leading. Think I tried some when they first came out a few years ago, in a pistol caliber, but results were meh. Or I forget them, one or the other.

I'd like to see one of the big consumer battery companies, like Duracell or Energizer do a stunt, like racing a stock Tesla across country against a Tesla modified to use a massive package of alkaline D-cells. Work out the range of the car on alkaline batteries, and have replacement batteries staged at appropriate stops along the way. If the battery swap took only ten minutes, their car should win in a walk.

Yep, cause of their batteries primarily. If they had an electric car that could charge in 15 minutes and travel 300 miles at 70+ MPH at a comparable cost they would make sense in the US. Until then though...

597 536 There was a Soviet - at the '92 Olympics, the "Unified Team" - super-heavyweight wrestler who was this amazing, proportional/built, scaled-up human. Greek statue, just 1.5 times normal size, not heavy like the other super-heavyweights. He would *pick up and pin* his opponents - the only one of course ever to do this in that weight class. The commentators said it was pretty clear most opponents just conceded to him, to avoid serious injury.

Angus MacAskill would have been an interesting wrestler, had he been alive during the past century. He was 7'10", weighed 580 pounds with a normal build. He could carry two 350 pound casks simultaneously.

605 441 Lots of German atrocities and much destruction of wonderful small Italian towns, ultimately for nothing (from the German side), of course.

The German leadership really had no option but keep fighting after 1942. If they lost, they were done and would be held liable if they were anybody of any importance. The only thing that saved some of them was the Soviet threat but only if you weren't a name.

609 My comment about "niche" uses for electric vehicles would include use in congested urban settings with humid/hot summers and/or inversion layers, to reduce air pollution likely to be inhaled by many people. Same reason electric trams or natgas buses have an advantage in that situation.

So my reference to "environmental illiteracy" was the silly notion that electric vehicles somehow are "better" in terms of the outlandish and improbable hypothesis of AGW, which obviously would not be the case, even theoretically (worse, probably). And of course outlandish and improbable hypotheses, especially ones that can't be falsified, and which yet are partially falsified every time they are tested, should not be the basis for anything other than bad science fiction.

Remember the '60's protest song "Little Boxes"? The old Commie Pete Seeger used to sing it a lot. Funny thing, though. The subdivisions lamented by the songwriter are now desirable urban oases, with wide, tree-lined streets, and nice homes on expansive lots.

The current fad of McMansions jammed cheek-by-jowl on postage stamp lots is much more in keeping with the song. But it never gets performed anymore. Wonder why?

660 >> Publius, would those illnesses or conditions found associated with the vaccines also be consistent with contracting the ChiCom flu virus itself?

Yes indeed. The problem is the spike protein, which is quite pathogenic to endothelial tissue. I've read some stuff on the mechanism of this, and IIRC it may have to do with the antibodies to the spike interacting with that tissue somehow.

In those severe cases where the lungs start "clogging up", it is massive amounts of the spike protein that do this. If remember venilators don't do too well, and it has to do with that.

I think most of these vaccine adverse events are related to this spike protein "insult".

Nitrocellulose only = single-based smokeless

Have mostly double-based, only a few single-based (Vihtavuori, and Solo 1000, now out of production). Same-same to me for what I do, but the single-based will last longer once you've opened the bottle.

Before polyester film base (thanks, Corona spy satellite program!), nitrocellulose was the what all your still negatives and movie film stock was based on.

And millions of pounds of irreplaceable archival films from the Silent Era through the '40s, was chopped up into ballistic propellants of various sorts and purposes in WWII.

Who knows, one of those movies might've been Number One with a Bullet?

676 GnuBreed, I just only recently realized that nitrocellulose = gun-cotton. Love that term.

Speaking of such - well, kinda - I was also amazed to learn not long ago that the powder granules (cylindrical, extruded, 2 inches in length) used in the powder bags for the 16-in naval rifles (Iowa-class battleships) were *stacked* in the bags. Haven't learned yet if that were automated somehow, but trying to imagine a person stacking those little cylinders - 110 lbs worth - inside those silk bags.

Six of the bags for a war-shot. Three bags, weighed a bit less, and not stacked, powder just poured in - for practice loads. So 650-650 lbs for a war-shot.

Whereas I'll use 5.4 grains of flattened ball powder with a 200-grain lead bullet in 45ACP.

Armor-piercing projectile, 12 million grains, 4.5 million grains of powder. I've determined I could never really afford to reload if I were shooting 16-inch naval artillery.

690 In the early 1960s the Soviets needed special film emulsions for their lunar flyby satellite launches. The idea was to take closeup pictures of the moon, and return the launch vehicle to earth and retrieve the film. They were the first to see or publish pictures of the far side of the moon (which due to its orbit, is never visible from earth). Where did they get the special film required? From the US, they shot down one of our spy satellites, something like that, and used the unexposed film from that.

I get nervous with a revolver if there's a misfire).

But I do wonder whether the powder (remixed and bagged in the 90s) and projectiles are still in storage, or have been surplused. I think there was *plenty* of both when the Iowas were brought back out in the early 80s.

Before I hit the sack, while I posted about it when I got home, I'll update the ONT crowd (my peeps) on my jury duty experience. It's done.

We didn't have to hear a single case. We just sat around in the little podunk courtroom, in reserve in case we were needed. The magistrate was a personable fellow. He conducted business sort of like Andy Griffith wearing his Justice of the Peace hat.

All of the cases were penny ante stuff, criminal, involving traffic violations, some trespassing, and one "simple possession of marijuana". Most of the defendants plead out before trial. This was conducted in the judge's office (can't say chambers, because there was nothing chamber like about it).

714 536There was a Soviet - at the '92 Olympics, the "Unified Team" - super-heavyweight wrestler who was this amazing, proportional/built, scaled-up human. Greek statue, just 1.5 times normal size, not heavy like the other super-heavyweights. He would *pick up and pin* his opponents - the only one of course ever to do this in that weight class. The commentators said it was pretty clear most opponents just conceded to him, to avoid serious injury.

He weighed 15 lbs+ at birth. His nickname in the sport was "The Experiment".

Are you thinking about Alexandr Karelin? It wasn't just those Olympics. His entire career was one of the most dominant athletic careers of any sport, ever. He was a truly scary guy. He had like eight or nine hundred wins and maybe two or three losses. But the best part was that his last match he lost out on the gold medal to an American, Rulon Gardner. It was controversial and it pissed off the Soviets so it made me happy. Rulon winning the gold over Karelin is considered one of the greatest upsets in sports history.

717 Funny thing was, every so often the judge would come out and give us jurors an update on what he had just done. Said he wanted to keep us informed on what was going on.

There at the last, he thought we were gonna have to hear one case, and we were ready to go. A woman was charged with running a stop sign, and demanded a jury trial (good for her). But, the cop who charged her failed to show up. Judge said, "Well folks, ain't nobody here to prove her guilty, so what do we say?"

NOT GUILTY. Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Y'all can go home now. He also informed us that two bench trials he held in office were also not guilty on account of the cops not showing up to prosecute.

With a wink, as we left, he informed us that the Greenvile County Sheriff's Dept. batting average on showing up for trial wasn't too great of late and to keep that in mind next time we got a ticket.

719 EA Blair, name sounds right. There could only be one guy like that. Amazed he ever lost. I still remember the video footage, from the inevitable ABC or NBC "color" story they did on him. He was running in snow (Kazakhstan?) as part of his winter training. Snow had to be 3 feet deep. He was running in it.

Had to be him, though his last match woulda been after the USSR went kaput. A few years later, I'd think, since he was on the "Unified Team" in 1992.

726 719 Yeah, that's him. I remember that footage of him in the snow. There was this undercurrent in the media of people saying that there was no way he could be that dominant without PEDs, and they filmed a segment where he's basically saying, "Look at my routine," and it shows him living and training in incredibly difficult conditions. He's from Siberia, actually. It was very much a Rocky IV kind of environment. Except he lived it every day. I was delighted when someone from the U.

Yes, this mandate (of truly safe and effective, sterilizing) vaccines is a different animal all together. Enroll your *young child* in school, you have to show immunization proof (with all sorts of exceptions). After that, nothing much.

Oh, flu vaccines. They are sterilizing (I looked it up) for the strains they target. Not much use for new strains they don't target. But they are sterilizing for the virus strains they target.

Now, the confidence interval of studies looking at this goes through zero for prevention of hospitalization an death. In fact, a recent study looking at UK data (one of the authors was from Clempson, BTW) found no effect on hospitalization and death from the flu.

But, the vaccines are pretty safe. They are likely worthless, but in VAERS data, you'll find little adverse events associated with them.

761 >> Of the different vaccines, is it true that the J&J is the least bad?

Not enough data to really tell. All the "vaccines" released to date are spike-only, targeting immune response to a single spike epitope of the original "Wuhan classic" virus. Which virus is not longer in circulation -- it doesn't exist -- due to rapid mutation/selection in the wild. The delta variant is currently the most circulating variant. It's spike is already a few codons away from the Classic.

The J&J shot is an "adenovirus vector" vaccine. It gets your cells (some of them) to display spike protein to your immune system, same as they all do. It just does it via different means from the mRNA shots such as Pfizer and Moderna.

They all induce immune response to the Wuhan classic spike protein.

Re sterilizing vaccines. Polio. For decades, the standard course of polio vaccination for children in the US consisted of both the OPV (oral, Sabin) and the IPV (injectable, Salk).

Why two? The OPV is sterilizing. The IPV is not. The IPV prevents paralytic polio, period, but it is not sterlizing. It will allows infection in the gut, but will not allow it to progress into the rest of the system that could result in a bad case of polio.

The OPV, while sterilizing, has about 1 - 3 chance per million of becoming unattenuated (OPV is an attenuated virus) and causing active polio. The IPV would kill that. So we gave both to prevent 1 in a million of causing active polio.

Now, it was determined that by about 1990 or so, the "wild polio" infection in the US was eliminated. We waited 10 years, until 2000. Then we switched to just using the IPV, non-sterilizing. There is no active infection to worry about, and thus no immune escape pressure to worry about.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at August 26, 2021 02:33 AM (Mzdiz)

The OPV is much easier to store and handle. So, some 3rd world shit countries just use the OPV, and risk 1 -3 in a million active cases of polio.

And I honestly do not see how anyone cannot see that this applies here. I just don't.
Posted by: m

It doesn't apply because those who said "my body, my choice" in the context in which it arose were -- to their way of thinking -- not harming another human being by making their choice (because they do not consider an unborn child to be a human). It is not the same comparison to them. If one considers the fetus to be a human, then it is more akin to the vax situation.

801 but is now suing the band claiming that the image was pornographic.
----
When it gets thrown out - sue him for slander. For one thing, it doesn't fit the definition of child porn. A more pornish album cover (Scorpions Virgin Killer) was already deemed to not be child porn by the FBI. Was the band into child porn? Probably. Who knows.

in my experience, it at least makes them pause, and splutter, while they try to think up another argument.

804 Here is how it ends.
Terror threat. Fake. Meant to drive people away from the airport, perimeter stop the videos of the chaos at the gates, expand the us perimeter. There will be an "attack" or two but no real damage. Brag on intel. Brag on security. VP is overseas so its easy to sneak in on a flight for a photo op and make some critical decision on the ground and win the love of the military. Enemy (who is obviously paid off at this point) is told as soon as last plane leaves, missles inbound to blow up purposely left behind worthless junk at the airport. For show. We will help you fix the holes later. Also, random other meaningless locations around the country bombed for "effect". This bombing will happen during the peak tv viewing time between now and the 31st with breathless breaking news reporting with, amazingly, perfectly positioned Crystal clear video. It will be revealed once in "safe airspace" VP demands to stay till the end. Wont leave anyone behind is on the Last plane out surrounded by troops, babies, children, mothers, and POC.

805 The main problem with most people, and leftists seem especially susceptible, is an inability to debate and use information to form opinions. People hold almost religious positions on matters, and it doesn't matter what information they're provided.

Add to that the horrible quality of "I don't care WHAT you say because you're a stupid conservative and I'm one of the smart ones so you can't tell me anything that I don't already know more about anyway" and it's doomed from the start.

Add to THAT the observation that the left doesn't care if they're hypocrites or if you call them hypocrites or point out their hypocrisy, and you get a perfect storm.

816 Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I
can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about setting up my own but I'm not sure where
to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers

When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
