So... Melissa Etheridge. I remember her music when "come to my window" came out. Thought it was sweet and feminine in the Tina Turner style. Maybe got played too much on the radio.
Didn't know she was singing about another chick until some years later. Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at August 22, 2015 10:06 PM (aSigr) 7

Re: Corgi in the pool... I think I may have been more fascinated than my beloved Border Collie, Caleb, of blessed memory, was with the high-velocity spray from the cunning brass hose nozzle, once we got running water.

"SMFH the game was suspended for lightning."

on this fine ONT? I ask as a devoted martini fan and one who needs to buy some more juniper berries for the spice rack. I could try it again with fresh tomatoes... Tanqueray, mixed with some lime juice. Tomorrow I will infuse a few servings with lavender; I got some food-grade lavender last summer to put in beer (there was one brewpub in Syracuse that a fabulous lavender-honey Belgian wit...) but never got around to making it. For gin, put a few teaspoons into a coffee filter and soak it in a glass for about three hours. Flower martinis. Posted by: HR trinken trinken trinken at August 22, 2015 10:29 PM (rHXGG) 62
I've said before that in a few years we are going to find that, without much fanfare, progressives have largely stopped talking about tolerance and priding themselves on their tolerance. Because you can only engage in so many political-motivated persecutions and still think of yourselves as tolerant, eventually the hypocrisy will just be too much. Instead it will become "we are right *because the science says so*" (whether it actually does or not), "you are wrong, and we're going to do what the science says".

In response to comments about smoke from the fires in the Portland area, it is pretty bad. I can't imagine what it's like to be closer to the fires. Visibility impaired going over the I-5 bridge. My stepson was in Toledo on the Oregon coast and he said they are getting smoke out there too.

From what I read women like it because it means they don't have to be as careful eating with a guy that shovels it in, and they like a guy who makes them look better by comparison. I dunno. The principle of the "dad bod" is a guy who is fit enough but eats whatever he damn well pleases and doesn't obsess over his body. That seems like a good trend to me.

Denver airport was the only time I've been genuinely afraid in a plane. It was December, before Christmas, and we came down on the runway but it was so slick and windy, the plane was literally sliding around and turning as it slowed. The pilot apparently had it under control but it felt like it was going to tumble off the side and explode.

I survived having to talk at the funeral today, actually got to make them laugh, which was my goal. Sarah was a great lady, she was one who hired me 26 yrs ago for what is my dream job (some days).

I don't get cats period. Tried them twice. first hid in the back of my closet and attacked me everytime I went to get a shirt. Second shit in all my house plants. Did 2 rounds of antibiotics once when one stray attacked my leg. Have a pt who has a cat, everytime I go there it purrs and cuddles on my lap then attacks. Had to pull it off my head the other day when it jumped up and embedded it's claws and teeth in my hair. I realize there are a lot of cat lovers here but I hate the damn things. Posted by: Molly k at August 22, 2015 10:40 PM (zS+qK) I never had a cat growing up, because my father hated them. But at age 42, when I was living in an apartment, I fell head over heels in love with my neighbor's cat Chloe, and it was definitely mutual. She and I totally bonded. I have never felt so close to any animal, including the dogs I had when I was a kid. I could go on for hours about Chloe, but to make a long story short, she had her kittens in my bedroom closet and I adopted two of them. Leo died in 2007, but I still have Kira, who's 15 now.

I was busy all day at the Air and Space museum here in Oregon gawking at the Spruce Goose and SR 71 and all the zillions of other exhibits. Didn't get any work done on the cover.
I'm going to have to study how to use a deforming tool to get the flag right. I could draw it out easy but that wouldn't work with the rest of the cover. I think I am getting close. Seriously if you ever have a chance all of you, the Evergreen Aircraft and Space Museum in McMinville Oregon is amazing. More than you can see in one day. All the planes you've ever wanted to see up close. The SR-71 there is fully operational and one of the few you can get that close to. They have the real Spruce Goose and its bigger than you think. No, really, bigger than that. Posted by: Christopher Taylor at August 22, 2015 11:19 PM (39g3+) 190

Anyone else see the article by Ben Shapiro over at Breitbart? It talks about a poll done in the UK asking about the respondants sexuality. The respondants were to rank themselves on a scale of 0 (fully heterosexual) to 6 (fully homosexual). The poll collected data on age groups starting at age 18 and going up. 88% of those 60 or older identified at fully heterosexual and as you went down the age groups, people self identifying as fully heterosexual decreased. The 18-24 age group only had 5% identify as fully heterosexual.

I believe the immigration issue is the hill to die on, I believe Trump thinks that as well. This issue has massive cross over potential with blacks, Reagan Democrats and Tech Nerds. Slashdot which is 99pct progressive to suicidally progressive shows strong support for Trumps H1B reforms. If Trump can sharpen and focus his message and bring on some heavy hitters like Mike Rowe, John Bolton, Thomas Sowell et al, I truly believe we are looking at a Reagan type landslide. I even like the fact that Trump holds Reagan at arms distance while he sort of co-opts the morning in America message of American strength and renewal after the disasterous Bush and Obama administrations.

Posted by: Darth Randall at August 22, 2015 11:19 PM (KlVdw) Even the left doesn't actually believe that homosexuality is entirely biological. RSM has done a hell of a job rounding up quotes from radical feminists encouraging women to become lesbians, and Zombie has provide plenty of material from gay leaders indicating that they believe that people can be converted. The "born this way" movement was always about trying to give gay rights the same moral status as the civil rights movement, and to undercut the arguments that we shouldn't base policy off of someone's chosen behaviors. Now that they've got gay marriage expect to see "born this way" quietly dropped in favor of, "It's a valid lifestyle choice" once again.

lawyers aren't as rational as they they know themselves to be.
My favorite Lawyer quote comes from the Patrick O'Brian book Reverse of the Medal: "I do not say that all lawyers are bad, but I do maintain that the general tendency is bad: standing up in a court for whichever side has paid you, affecting warmth and conviction, and doing everything you can to win the case, whatever your private opinion may be, will soon dull any fine sense of honour.

Wicked smaht, gentle, and such a good judge of character. I grew up in a rough neighborhood and this dog protected the whole block. He knew what was up. So I vowed when I got my dog- that I chose- (we had a basset hound that we adopted rather than see her go to the pound - very sweet dog, but I know I would never want another slow-mo basset)- I wanted a German Shepherd. Are they barky? I don't remember Jorge, the shepherd I grew up with, *ever* barking. He was very expressive, but not in a loud way. Posted by: Gem at August 22, 2015 11:47 PM (c+gwp) 262

Full employment is somewhere in the 4 to 5% range. So right now for evil white people, we're at full employment. For evil white people in their mid 30s to mid 50s, unemployment is in the low 3% range, which means a shortage of workers.

You know, I remember some studies of this homo-hetero question and the question of whether "bisexuality" was real. They hooked test subjects up to contraptions that actually measured physical arousal and tested what really turned them on, not what they would claim or admit to (I know the thought of that scares us morons to death).
Results were (complex and subject to a lot of complication and interpretation) that basically men are either straight or gay. Women either turned them on, or men did. Many women on the other hand, turned out to be attracted to both, in fact a large majority. Now, again, morons don't get all excited, thinking every chick is secretly into three-ways and putting on some girl/girl show. It doesn't necessarily mean that, maybe just either sex in a sexual portrayal turns them on. (And oh, women's general arousal is less than men to this kind of stuff, and that may have something to do with it as well). However, there is a case to be made that women are indeed more likely to be really bisexual. There are even evolutionary psychology theories to explain it. And refutations of them as well. Anyway, men are likely either or, while women are an open question. Oh another result likely to make leftists mad: Both sexes "objectify" and sexualize the female body. This is a human trait, not some patriarchal oppression. Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at August 23, 2015 12:11 AM (dvuhZ) 322

When I saw that the labor participation rate had fallen to a low not seen since the 70s I took a long hard look at those numbers. You have to consider cultural changes that take place over decades. It was WW2 that brought women into the workforce and raised the labor participation rate over 50% for the first time. What caused it to peak around the turn of the century and come back down is probably not a single point failure. I blame social programs mostly.

The problem with relying on workforce participation in unemployment numbers is that there is a larger percentage of baby boomers retiring.

If it hadn't, Romney would be President.

332: It gets complicated, with sex-linked traits. Suppose you had a trait that made men gay, but women slightly more fertile/likely to mate. As long as that increased the *total* reproductive success rate, it would propagate.
The gay thing is likely due or mostly due to hormonal influences on the brain in the womb (and this might be a basis for the trans crap as well). One thing they found is the chances of a male baby becomming gay increases with the male birth order. That is, the more male babies a mother bore before the birth of a given male, the more likely that baby to be gay. The female body doesn't like that "bath" of male hormones brewing in her womb someway somehow and sorts of builds something that might roughly be called "immunity" to it. That "immunity" can reduce the hormone levels during crucial stages of the male fetal development. But none of this is conclusive, of course. Just evidence for it that could be refuted.

Oh and another interesting result from all these sort of alligator clips to Mr. Happy studies. Men are as turned on by watching two chicks have sex as they are watching boy-girl. In some studies, they find that are *more* turned on by the girl/girl.
You might have guessed that, but I don't think they've decided they can rule out a cultural effect and not inborn with that. If it is natural, then that could explain female bisexuality; it turns the men on more, who then jump in a mate more with them.

But that is a meaningless number in itself since
"full time employed" is an arbitrary definition. It means 40 hours a week. So what about the person who works 25 hours a week. He's not fully employed. But is he working 25 by choice or because he can only get 25 hours? Or what about the 58 year old who is retired and on a nice fat pension (usually a govt pension). Posted by: HUCK / AKIN 2016 at August 23, 2015 12:18 AM (0LHZx) I am talking rough numbers using available online sources, that can be calculated from earlier periods too so can be sort of gut-checked for past periods. The full time equivalent is generally meaning how many numbers worked in a week / 40. So three clowns working 20 hours a week is FTE 1.5 Want has nothing to do about that. Whether you want to work 20 hours a week or the employer doesn't want to break the ACA limit and won't let you work full time. I am just talking numbers.

I realize I'm going to get whacked for saying this, but the economy has
improved--no where near the rate it has in past recoveries; it's been very slow, very anemic--but it has improved. If it hadn't, Romney would be President. Median income belies this. Ironically the rich are getting richer and its a-OK with the Left. Posted by: cm9000 at August 23, 2015 12:28 AM (8zCR+) Median income been static for much longer than the Obama administration, though (up a few thousand here, down a few thousand), so, yes, that sucks, but they're not going to blame it on him.

As an aside to labor-force/employment-rate numbers, take a look at the number of personal income tax returns filed.
It is difficult to distill the numbers, because the IRS does not make available, in an obvious fashion, the necessary data. Nonetheless, looking at the gross data, my first estimate, for paying returns, is something in the neighborhood of 35 million returns. There are all sorts of considerations to be made. In some cases they are joint returns, in some cases they are filed only for credits, etc., etc. The implication is that roughly 10% of the population is paying the freight for 330 million people. We can make all sorts of allowances for 'too old', or 'too young' to be paying, but the 10% number still holds true. Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at August 23, 2015 12:42 AM (9mTYi) 363

Nah, I agree. There were technological improvements 2007-2015. Some in tech, which don't suffer from the heavy hand of government as much. Mostly in energy: shale "fracking" being most in the news. The Democrats were mixed on tech: mostly they stayed out of the way, which is always good for business. (The SJWs hate this; that's why they've been hitting hard at the "Women In Tech" meme lately, not to mention the racial demographics.) The Democrats have been less good on energy, but they've mainly just been blindsided there. The question I have, as a tech employee, has to be - how are the parties going to serve my interests, and the tech industries' interests? It seems to me that the Democrats serve the SJWs who will replace me with Democrat voters. The Republicans serve the Chamber of Commerce who will replace me with non voters on H1B.

Oh and another interesting result from all these sort of alligator clips to Mr. Happy studies. Men are as turned on by watching two chicks have sex as they are watching boy-girl. In some studies, they find that are *more* turned on by the girl/girl.
You might have guessed that, but I don't think they've decided they can rule out a cultural effect and not inborn with that. If it is natural, then that could explain female bisexuality; it turns the men on more, who then jump in a mate more with them. Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at August 23, 2015 12:32 AM (dvuhZ) It could also be do to the fact that a F+F sex scene does not involve another male, which would be a turn-off for straight guys. I've known women who were into Yaoi and Gay-Porn for the same reason. Heck in Yaoi the have a dominant "Seme" and a submissive "Uki" -- apparently is is easier to substitute yourself in there if it is someone of the opposite sex rather than some other person of the same sex...

Full employment is somewhere in the 4 to 5% range. So right now for evil white people, we're at full employment. For evil white people in their mid 30s to mid 50s, unemployment is in the low 3% range, which means a shortage of workers.

I find this history so bizarre. It involves radical priests in Argentina. Why risk suspension to preside over the funerals of people who have renounced the church and would kill christians when they came to power? Why hide at your parents house? And why not get out of dodge if people are trying to kill you? I think I read that the good father was in Paris 1968 getting his knob polished.
This Movement of Priests for the Third World -- how many were Argentinians? All or a lot. So why do we have an Argentinian pope? It seems like the commies just infiltrated everything... https://goo.gl/w03go1 Posted by: Bruce With a Wang! at August 23, 2015 12:51 AM (iQIUe) 379

IMHO if WTI drops under 37,38 it's probably headed to 30. Posted by: Blano at August 23, 2015 12:49 AM (NHQQx) Don't forget, we are still using the "summer blend" of gas that is the most expensive because of the additives in it. Gas and diesel will start to plummet in mid September. Oil will hit $30 a barrel, and probably go lower than that because China is in the shitter. Cheap oil means that world demand isn't meeting production. OPEC's out is 31.5M barrels a day (above their 30M barrel agreement), and demand for it is 29.2M barrels a day. If they can't sell the oil they are producing for a higher price, some of those countries will try to make it up in volume further depressing the price. Let's face it, those countries need every penny they can get to pay off all the "Princes" and other Oil Ticks that keep them in power. If the choice is OPEC compliance or keeping their necks intact, they will keep their necks intact.

I saw someone say $32 so close enough. Such a shame, really. Venezuela is shitting their socialist bed, Cuba got lots of oil from them and would probably now be shitting the bed, and Iran would be shitting the bed too if not for the wondrous workings of TFG.

You have an impressive recollection of history spanning across both time and cultures." Anybody beat 47 seconds yet? Posted by: zombie at August 23, 2015 02:28 AM (jBuUi) 447
171 I missed one question on the history quiz, but I have no idea what it was.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke etc. etc. etc. with several other commenters above, unsure of why it was 11/12. I'm pretty sure the two questions most likely to trip people up were either "Titanic left from..." and "Germany founded in...". Southhampton/1871 were the right answers, for those wondering. The other 10 were gimmes. Posted by: zombie at August 23, 2015 02:31 AM (jBuUi) 448

Posted by: zombie at August 23, 2015 02:28 AM (jBuUi) I admit that I didn't remember which port the Titanic sailed from, but otherwise it was fairly simple... though I might have qualms about the "War of 1812" question...

Didn't look at the quiz, but here's one we might put out there: 1) Is "Austrian" a language, and where is it spoken? 2) Define/explain the most common ratio discussed in the equities markets, known as the "P/E ratio" 3) Describe the difference between liability-only and comprehensive types of automobile insurance 4) Pick one: the US Constitution was the first founding document in human history to a) limit the power of government andmake the individual citizen and individual liberty theprimary principle b) divide power between different geographical entities (states) c) lay out a charter of negative liberties 5) Using any number as a starting point, give an example of a 3000%decrease 6) True/False: amputation procedures in the US have been documented to be driven by physician financial incentives and not medical neccessity Hmmm. Think of anybody who might fail this one? Posted by: rhomboid at August 23, 2015 02:44 AM (QDnY+) 454

Thanks Willy J. I had someone in mind when posing the question, obviously. Just in case anyone had forgotten how far we've fallen and how the least among us now rule us.

The smell of Palmolive always reminds me of the high school home-ec classroom. We used to joke that the home-ec teacher was so old, her breast implants were made of wood.

Aced the history test, tough one was where the Titanic sailed from. Hint, it wasn't from an American city.
Photo of the GI looking at the grave of an American soldier, buried by the Germans. Very touching. Hat tip to the Wehrmacht guys who took the time to do it. Interesting to know that you got a be a homosexual to sell chicken sandwiches in the Denver airport. Is the special sauce extra? Posted by: jbarntt at August 23, 2015 05:35 AM (mIy9O) 475

The history quiz has a mistaken question. The Black Death in Europe is an unknown disease. It is donjectured that it was Bubonic Plague but that is not known and there is evidence that it might not have been.
I give the quiz creator(s) a D, since they had time and access to the internet to check their "answers" before they posted the quiz. Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at August 23, 2015 05:58 AM (MYSVz) 477

The Denver Airport v Hate Sandwich pisses me off. Not allowed to have diversity of thought? There is a reason that whenever I have flown from Western Colorado to the East, I have never flown to Denver first. I go out of my way to avoid Denver and go thru SLC. Last time I was in a Denver airport was when I lived in Denver and went to Stapleton to see my Grandma for a layover back in the early 90's.
