National Education Association president Dennis Van Roekel received a huge pay raise this year while the teachers union lost more than 40,000 members.
Van Roekel, who retired this summer, was paid $541,632 during NEA's fiscal year ending Aug. 31 a $130,000 increase from last year, driven by a gross salary hike from $306,286 to $429,509. NEA membership dropped from 3,003,885 last August to 2,963,121 this August.
There should be no teacher's union anyway. And this is further proof that unions really don't give a shit about their membership. It's all for the union bosses. And guess where all that money is coming from?

...I found out why the SJW idiots didn't try for a repeat of shutting down of I-75 in Cincinnati. The results:
$3000 fine... each
They're all guests of the County Pokey until Monday... NO Turkey Day release...
GPS jewelry during their parole term...
Pro-tip: There are NO SJW Judges in Hamilton County/SW Ohio...
...they wouldn't survive the next election cycle.

Kid from college said that Budweiser was a good beer, especially compared to Coors and PBR -- started laughing and told her that their childhoods were also spent by me in training to keep those brown bottles out of their little hands.
Draft horses, aside from strength, were also valued because they were easy to keep. Hope Bud rethinks its current marketing strategy. Rebranding is so 90s old skool.

Yesterday, I picked up 6 gallons of peanut oil, two fresh tanks of
propane, and enough injection liquid and poultry rub to fry every turkey
in sight. This morning, I will fire up the rig (54,000 BTUs of
cooking bliss) and fry four turkeys for friends and family in the back
yard before the great feast.
Glad to hear you're doing it in the backyard. Before I lost all faith in humanity - I was actually a volunteer fireman. Got to put out a garage on Thanksgiving because of one of those deep fryers.
This is must see TV today.

475 My solution to the Ferguson issue.
Let that black cop take one of those Occupooping, Guy Fawkes mask-wearing, anarchist punk-ass white-boy protesters out and shoot him dead.
Eye for an eye. Tit for tat. White people won't riot, the rioting black assholes will stop rioting to celebrate, and we will have one less fucking Commie drawing breath.

Are you kidding? Syrup on sausage and eggs is great. You have a hearty breadfast of pancakes, sausage and eggs. Put the fried eggs on top of the pancake, sausage on top of that, and pour on the the syrup.

So far it looks like it went well, Youngest Son has only spoken about it in general terms so we haven't discussed it in depth. We do have a 500 mile trip back north tomorrow to go over it if he wants though.
It appears as if his birth father has had enough time to pull his head out, we spoke briefly when I picked YS up. I hope so anyway.

Hail, Fellow!, well met, on this day, this one day when I am released from my attic to share in the blessed bounty that has been bestowed upon us all.
And so, a pint of stout to you all that ye may be healed of your discomfort, for it is this day all across America that people of all degrees of sanity commingle, one with the other to share equally in the harvest of booty, such as might be shared by those who have more than they need rather than hoarding it away for the dark dreary winter days soon to follow.
I, for one, give thanks to the generous, and the pious, and the compassionate for without passion, we would all be lacking in spirit, some people say.
Hail, Fellow!, another pint I say, for the day is long and there is much to be done this day of thanksgiving, before we are once again banished to the attic for another 364 days.
It is good to be crazy on this day, is it not, this day of freedom!

In a video posted to his YouTube account Tuesday, Speaker John Boehner gave viewers an inside look on how he prepares his Thanksgiving meal, and more specifically, how he brines the turkey.
Boehner said it took him five years to perfect brining a turkey after finding a recipe online. The Speaker outlines every ingredient in the video, and calls 16 ounces of pure maple syrup "the real secret ingredient."
The Hill
Boehner still hasn't gotten around to commenting on the Ferguson decision or this week's riots and the collapse of law and order. But cooking tips? Those he's got.

Some of the many things I have reason to be thankful for this year are the very existence of this site due to Ace carefully shepherding it along, and the mostly excellent, witty, and knowledgeable crew of Morons and Moronettes that infest this place.

So the Senator from NY went home and slipped in to his bedroom and hit his dick on the bed post twice.

When I was living in Lexington County, the following happened. A middle-age black guy was killed on the new Columbia post office construction site and his family got more money than he would ever have earned, enough to buy Caddilacs all around. And another black mother said 'the lord let my boy be killed in Vietnam and we got his insurance policy.' Sad, but those two were raised a 100 times better that the gentle giant was, and were better people.

Wow, that's terrible. I know of two baseball players who were killed in games, although there have probably been others. The most famous was Ray Chapman of the Cleveland Indians, who was hit in the head by a pitch in 1920. A few years ago a high school pitcher was struck in the chest by a line drive and his heart stopped.

Some of them only have one earflap, on the side facing the pitcher. Thus there are left-handed and right-handed versions.

Posted by: aussie at November 27, 2014 10:06 AM (YreXc)
Best to go to the source - our wonderful first president Washington!
Here's the intro from the Heritage page I had linked to:
Following a resolution of Congress, President George Washington
proclaimed Thursday the 26th of November 1789 a day of 'public
thanksgiving and prayer' devoted to 'the service of that great and
glorious Being who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was,
that is, or that will be.' Reflecting American religious practice,
Presidents and Congresses from the beginning of the republic have from
time to time designated days of fasting and thanksgiving (the
Thanksgiving holiday we continue to celebrate in November was
established by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and made into law by
Congress in 1941).
In setting aside a day for Thanksgiving, Washington established a
non-sectarian tone for these devotions and stressed political, moral,
and intellectual blessings that make self-government possible, in
addition to personal and national repentance. Although the First
Amendment prevents Congress from establishing a religion or prohibiting
its free exercise, Presidents, as well as Congress, have always
recognized the American regard for sacred practices and beliefs. Thus,
throughout American history, Presidents have offered non-sectarian
prayers for the victory of the military and in the wake of catastrophes.
Transcending passionate quarrels over the proper role of religion in
politics, the Thanksgiving Proclamation reminds us how natural their
relationship has been. While church and state are separate, religion and
politics, in their American refinement, prop each other up.

Actually she had flowered tights that were too transparent and you could see her cheeta print briefs, and some sort of sweat-shirt, and navy Reeboks with fluorescent pink laces.
This was not hot because she is built like a fencepost, has that personality of an iguana, and is middle aged.
The outfit would have been cute on the 4 year-old who insisted on dressing herself, but the most charitable I could say was that she obviously dressed in the dark and has no-one to tell her she looked mentally ill.
I mentioned it to a lead-worker, and later in the day Ms. Iguana was glaring daggers and hydrofluoric acid at me, but I couldn't tell if her fashion faux-pas had been mentioned to her or not.

Since I used all my vacation time during recovery, CW Jr. and I are having Thanksgiving dinner here at home. Just the two of us with Cornish game hens, garlic green beans, and dressing (the doctors can, uh, stuff it today).
Also, we made something passed down from my late mother-in-law. It's an appetizer made by taking a slice of deli ham, spreading cream cheese on one side, then wrapping it around a dill pickle and slicing it. They're delicious. When we asked here what they were called, she said they didn't have a name, so she said, "Let's call them 'Little Sh**ties". I think she would have liked the Horde.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a baseball player. When I was 9 years old, I was playing with my father in the yard. I was pitching, and he hit me right between the eyes with a line drive. Luckily I wasn't injured, but I was badly shaken up. After that, I was "gun-shy" whenever a ball came in my direction. Needless to say, that didn't help my fielding any.

I'll be popping out soon, long drive to the family's house since they moved to the other side of the river.
I'm thankful that some things are just nothing.
Had a bit of a scare last night. Wife wasn't feeling that great, had tons of cramps, general malaise.
We were out to dinner with the parents, mom who not only is a nurse but also given birth 3.5 times (the .5 was a C-section.)
Left, got out the door and wife said "yeah this doesn't feel right at all." Went back in got mom who said "call the doctor just to be sure" (I've left some symptoms out because they were a bit embarrassing but mom got the full list.)
Heard back quickly from the doctor, told wife to lay down, drink water call if various symptoms arise/come back, but that it was probably nothing.

Despite
"kicking ass" (reviewer's words) in what I was hired for, and then,
additionally, assuming the duties of what otherwise would have been an
completely separate, $40,000-a-year-plus-benefits employee (also a
"kick-ass" performance), I got a 2% raise.
Company enjoyed a 35% increase in revenues, and my efforts were key to that.
I am thankful for my job, but damn, I begin to see where class envy comes from.
Sorry to gripe, but strangely, poverty and massive work hours lead to a distinct lack of real friends. Or wives.
Thankful
for this forum and most of you people. Please be grateful for what you
have
today, and contrarily to some prominent cob-loggers here, don't assume
poverty is God's righteous judgment on the non-industrious.
Thus endeth the self-pity.

Oil prices plummet as OPEC decides against cutting production. http://usat.ly/1rqv7WH via @usatoday
Posted by: Costanza Defense at November 27, 2014 10:51 AM (zwdxl)
Cheap oil is good overall though. If OPEC wants to act more like a market and less like the cartel it is, that's a good thing on the balance I suspect.
Plus as I understand it it's less shale driving US energy production and more fracking.

Anyway, hang in there. See if they'll pop for some sort of creative compensation such as a professional development opportunity ( course, certificate, or conference).

The theory of OPEC is they are trying to drive the price lower to bankrupt the America industry, then they can jack up prices later.
They did the same thing in the 80s to crush the last oil boom, and American development took 20 years to recover.

A lot of folks think of shale as the production that was theorized in the ~70s and 80s wherein we would use whole processing, rather than the fracking to force out the oil from the tar sand....
at any rate all folks need to understand is the US' main strategic NEED is to reassert its domination over the pricepoints of the global oil market as a tool for coercion and diplomacy...
luckily we have granola munching communard fuckheads in charge of EPA, Foggy Bottom, and PA Ave....so that's not gonna happen and we'll allow goat fuckers the power.

From what I've read the sharp drop in prices has already led to scaling back of new drilling.
My understanding is that if OPEC decides to push the price closer to $50 then they can destroy much of the new American production and drive them into bankruptcy.
Halliburton just bought Baker Hughers, presumably in response to the sharp drop, looking for consolidation to survive however long OPEC decides to keep prices low.

When US production was not online the Sauds were getting "bonus money" through their cartel activities.
US production undercuts their profit margin and may reduce the cash they have to throw at their little pets like AQ and ISIS by drying up the bonus margin....

Thy cynical take is that Saudis waited until US industry had become convinced the oil boom would last, take on a lot of debt to expand, and then drop the hammer.
I know North Dakota held off for years on infrastructure spending -- worried that the boom wouldn't last. Then just in the last year or two they decided, ok, the economists tell us this will last another 20+ years, so they started spending billions on road and highway and infrastructure improvements.
This could be the rug being pulled out from under them.

Luckily, the warranty is already expired. In fact the parts are not available except as hard-to-find old stock. There is not much downside to hail Marys with my oven now, since it is old.

When we bought this house it still contained an old 50s big wide range with a hidden fryer in one of the eyes and it worked like gangbusters until the day it was hauled away. I'm sorry I didn't keep it, I think it would be working today.

Our old Magic Chef (gas) had a griddle in the center, that was covered by an enameled panel. Convenient.

Yeah, I'm just here with the cats. Later we'll share a Swanson's Hungry Man turkey dinner. That's the tradition 'round these parts.
I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm quite content to spend the day quietly. I've even been known to rake leaves on Thanksgiving. Happily, that will not be the case today as the ground is covered with global warming. I could probably do some laundry, though.

Since they cant be home for the holidays, our team is dedicated to bringing the holidays to them, Anthony Amendolia, with DLA Troop Support subsistence team in Philadelphia, Pa., said of troops serving abroad. As many as 24,000 U.S. service members are currently in Afghanistan.
Whether theyre stationed on a remote base in Afghanistan, or a field hospital in West Africa, theyll be eating a traditional American Thanksgiving meal, Amendolia said.
They deserve no less

It is easy to be drawn into an envy trap by looking around us, easy to forget that we enjoy security and readily available food, water and shelter.
Honestly, I haven't *earned* any of those things, they have mostly been provided by others who came before and structured a stable prosperous society that made it all possible.

Drove from MI to AR yesterday and overnight with my tractor and implements ... trip took a couple of hours longer than normal due to a GlowBull Warmening blizzard in central Illinois.
Will celebrate T'giving by spending the day unloading the tractor and implements and finding places for them to sit ...
Thankful for this wonderful place to (mostly) lurk and read the comments to my fellow demented morons. Thanks Ace and coblogs ... and especially Vic for a) being younger than some of us, and b) the VNN - best daily news aggregate

I have been giving this some thought this week, and while there appears to be a moratorium on political talk, let's just say I have heard the word "tragedy" misused a lot lately.
Tragedy is when you are minding your own business, and something terrible happens. You can look back afterwards and see how you might have done things differently, but still, you had no way of knowing this was the outcome you could expect.
Misfortune is something else. That's when I make a set of choices, and the outcome, which I may not have expected, is a logical consequence of those choices.
Either way, when something terrible happens, people can be sad about it. Locally (yes, I'm going to avoid the big topic) we had a baseball player die a month or so ago, which was not a tragedy. It was a misfortune. He was drunk out of his head, and wrapped his car around a tree. Very sad, but not a tragedy.
If he had rammed his car into yours, and you died, that would be a tragedy. You did nothing to cause this.
All of which is a long way to get to my point. Which is that, we can all look back on this year, think about what we did, the choices we made, and perhaps see some pattern to it all. We are where we are today, mostly due to those choices. Have some of us experienced tragedy? I'm sure we have. Have some experienced misfortune? No doubt.
Please, all of us would be wise to do ourselves a favor, and separate the tragedies from the misfortunes. And maybe while we're at it, separate those things for which was are thankful, between those which are a result of our choices, and those that were given to us by chance or luck or the kindness of others.
I happen to think this is a recipe for happiness and contentment, and I wish all of you a Thanksgiving holiday where you have an abundance of both.

Lots of bad behavior, and stuff to turn you off the human race.
Then I cam across the following gem:
*************
436 On WZ: Thug parents take their toddlers to help loot the liquor store.
We adopted to girls after involuntary parental rights terminations because of drug abuse and general dirtbag behavior. The oldest was three when we got her. She already hated the police and, when we were driving down the street, told us that another car looked like the car her parents had stolen.
