I mean, I'm all for insulting the French - but normally, for fun when they're being all arrogant and, well, French to us.
NOT when they've just suffered a series of terrorist attacks. There's limits even to asshole-ery. We mock them because we can, we should, they're funny, and all in all, they're not the enemy. There's times when we shouldn't. This is just treating them like fucking children. I hope they kick Kerry in the nuts on TV. Posted by: Inspector Cussword at January 16, 2015 11:22 AM (scgac) 34

A perfect encapsulation of the incompetence AND impotence of Obama's foreign policy. Yes, it's the perfect lesson to the French and the rest of the world, and it only took five minutes out of their life to teach it: Don't count on us, we don't take your problems seriously, and we wouldn't lift a finger to help if we did.

This was actually an episode of The Simpsons. Deep Space Homer.
Homer went into space, and he ruined the mission by opening a bag of potato chips and freeing the experimental ant colony. NASA had James Taylor (in an actual cameo) come in, and he tried to play a song to "fix" the problem, and Buzz Aldrin yelled at him -- Buzz: With all due respect, Mr. Taylor, this isn't the best time for your unique brand of bittersweet folk rock.

Well played, Cussword. Generations have grown up mocking Sousa. You don't even see the bands at football games. But when the back is to the wall, Sousa is like "Affix bayonets." He's our secret weapon. Not to be deployed lightly.
When Horowitz went back to play a Moscow "cultural exchange" concert, the network sent Kuralt to cover it. Applause was polite and diplomatic. Then for an encore he played Stars and Stripes, crossing the the left hand (on a Bosendorfer clanker IIRC) to play the piccolo trill with pinkie and ring finger... They tore up the seats. Grown men wept, Kuralt among them. The Cold War ended that day. They gave up. Knew when they were beaten. Posted by: Stringer Davis at January 16, 2015 11:43 AM (xq1UY) 187

I missed the overnight thread, it somehow turned in "Lumberjack" laffs, logger is the term, not that Hollywood crap. Unions, nope,zero, Democrats, liberals, etc are rare as unicorn teeth among loggers. We've been fighting the left since the '70s living here in occupied territory on the West Coast. The big cities rule, the rural areas are out-voted.
We had a funeral last week in my little town of about 7,000, logger killed by a falling tree. Over 1,000 people showed up. According to our local museum,several hundred total in last 100 years. Seattle doesn't have a clue how much blood their nice wooden framed houses cost. Please don''t tar all West Coasters with the Left brush, this is more of a rural vs. urban thing than at first glance, even in states like California and Texas.

I agree with Fenelon on this. You take a ridiculously long period of time (1945-1964, really?) and you give everyone born during that time a name. Then, for the rest of their lives, they are lumped together with whatever idiots happened to be born in that period. I really don't see the same thing happening with any other group. Can we blame the people born during the same time frame as Obama for all the problems he caused?

A perfect encapsulation of the incompetence AND impotence of Obama's foreign policy. Yes, it's the perfect lesson to the French and the rest of the world, and it only took five minutes out of their life to teach it: Don't count on us, we don't take your problems seriously, and we wouldn't lift a finger to help if we did. Posted by: Socratease at January 16, 2015 11:23 AM (2GbWn)" During the 2008 election, a nontrivial amount of money as well as lots of support came from outside the United States to support the Obama campaign. I wonder how the Europeans are feeling about that now. While the French certainly cannot compete with the Arabs for illicit campaign cash, they can make an enormous contribution in the area of snobbery that the coastal bien pensants regard as important. When Reagan was President, Americans in France were often surprised that the French thought well of him and supported his policies. This actually had less to do with Reagan than with the Soviet Union which was frightening the French at the time. While I don't expect the French to endorse Republican candidates, it would possibly be helpful if they would disparage and ridicule Democrats, starting with Obama.

The training mission is expected to begin in the spring at sites outside Syria, Colonel Steve Warren said. Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have offered to host the training.
The training program is a part of U.S. President Barack Obama's plan to field local forces in Syria to halt and eventually roll back Islamic State fighters, while pounding them with airstrikes. ... why does this remind me of the movie "Cat People" ?

But what Europe needs to acknowledge is, this is the America they wanted. This is the America they were demanding all those years they mocked the "warmonger" Reagan and the "cowboy" Bush, and praising to the skies a Barack Obama they had never heard of before, sight unseen. And this is the Europe they have been deliberately creating, all those years they have been importing Turks and North Africans to do they work in the Mercedes factories and old folks' homes to do the necessary work of society that the Europeans were too sophisiticated and self-involved to do.

State for sure, flew Taylor over there and paid for his stay, maybe at the Embassy? Then he plays a song, that will be broadcast on the nightly news in France and mentions, Hey, you like this, well I'll be back in April for a concert.

The Junior Assistant Scoutmaster of my troop was scouted by Navy, but, Mom and Dad were both OSU, so off he went to study engineering there. Walked on for tryouts his freshman year, but he's only 6-6 and 312, so, no deal.
Time goes by. OSU wins a few, loses a few, goes to court, goes to jail, damn near gets the death penalty, meh, football. The kid studies engineering. He's a senior. Two weeks before the national championship game, an A.D. rep comes and gets him out of class. Kid, your university needs you, suit up. He demands free tickets for Mom and Dad. That's his scholarship, you see. So now he has one, count them, one, buckeye sticker on his helmet, and a ring. May get a scholarship for grad school, they're thinking about it, don't know. His Mom and Dad are pretty proud. And that's my football story. I'd have loved to write that screenplay, but who the hell would believe it?

Had a moment like that too. My 14 yr old son asked me if he could practice "field stripping" our SW 9mm. I got the gun out, took the mags out, triple checked it, and handed it to him. He took the pistol, checked it, and laid it on the table. He then put a blindfold on and tried to disassemble the gun. Had to help a little the first few times, then he started catching on. Gotta say, I was proud of that young man. Said he saw it on some military spec-ops documentary and wanted to try it. Brought a tear to my eye. Says he wants to be a Ranger. As a Navy man, that does bother me a little. (sigh.) Posted by: 1bulwetweft at January 16, 2015 12:42 PM (JkmfQ) 598

254 I agree with Fenelon on this. You take a ridiculously long period of time (1945-1964, really?) and you give everyone born during that time a name. Then, for the rest of their lives, they are lumped together with whatever idiots happened to be born in that period. I really don't see the same thing happening with any other group. Can we blame the people born during the same time frame as Obama for all the problems he caused?
