Sunday Night Overnight Open Thread (8/28/16) [Mis. Hum.]
Welcome to the End of Summer Edition of the World Famous ONT.
A glance at the calendar indicates it is August 28th. Wow, coming up on Labor Day Weekend. Seems like yesterday was Memorial Day Weekend. Where the heck has the time gone? The ONT attempts to answer this question. Certainly time time flies by when you are having fun.
As a young Moron (Boy, was I ever), the week leading up to Labor Day Weekend was our family's annual summer vacation. Did your family have a summer tradition/ritual? Is there anyone who swims in the great outdoors? Swimming in fresh water does have it's drawbacks. Leeches may have their medicinal uses but for swimmers? Not so much.
It seems like families were/are the same throughout the western world.
Ahh station wagons. Nothing says vacation like piling everyone in the station wagon. Mini-vans just weren't as cool.
- Labor
Speaking of Labor. Here is a man who knows something about labor and love of country.
Army Ranger, Dorian Majied, addresses Colin Kaeperdick, San Franscisco Forty-Whiner
“To disrespect the country that has afforded him the opportunities and fortunes he acquired is only made more offensive by the fact that his life is the personification of the ideals I see in the American flag and National Anthem: a biracial child, raised by white parents, and who has accomplished much despite his “oppression.” In how many more nations around the world can a story like that come to fruition?"
Meet Lane Pittman, he plays in his church’s band, is a high school lacrosse coach and criminal for playing the National Anthem on his guitar.
Employers, tired of the ever increasing minimum wage? Tired of putting up with Obamacare? Are you bothered by the talk of mandatory paid medical leave? Well, here is the perfect employee. It even has the same vocabulary you are accustom to.
How was your day at work? Well, we destroyed the wrong house.
Schools have either started or are about to start. For elementary school students it will soon be time for show and tell. My parent is
What happened to these people as children? Do you need to have deep rooted issues to work for certain government agencies or being a plaintiff's attorney? There is one City Council member in Austin, TX who still does his job.
- Society
Coincidence? How long are the tentacles of George Soros?
Orlando mass murderer's wife disappears. Hillary Clinton flies free as a butterfly. But, the F.B.I. has developed an app for bank robberies.
The problem with one sided "documentaries". Or why a Federal Judge screwed up regarding one of the suspects in NetFlix's "Making a Murderer" A 100 year old grandmother can still give some lessons on having fun.
Tonight's ONT brought to you by prayer.
Cool kids, weird kids even kids with chicken pox can be found here.

When my Dad's parents lived in Chicago, we'd head over to their summer home in Wisconsin's Apostle Islands to open it up for the summer. I learned a lot about conserving and reusing your resources on hand when we replaced parts of the dock that winter storms snd ice had damaged -- every nail was recovered and reused. Mrs. Krebs still marvels at my obsession for recovering nails, screws and other fasteners and putting them back to use.
As for swimming in fresh water, nothing beats seimming in the Great Lakes. Sure, it can be cold, but there are no leeches there - none.

We didn't have a station wagon, but we did have an Olds 98 4 door with a 400 4 barrel in it. Loved hearing that 4 barrel kick in. A total rustbucket that drove smooth as silk.

Working on improving the family cabin. I remember having great times there. But I also more vividly remember roofing, plumbing. carpentry, mowing and digging a channel through the swamp to get the boat to the lake.
Oddly I wouldn't trade sunning on a beach for any of those memories.

Loved the Rambler wagon text
Ramblers were pitched as affordable good deals, just the ticket for a family full of screaming sugar-addled brats.
I can attest to "screaming" and "brats", but sugar-addled we were not. When we got gum from Mom, we got one half of a piece of Dentyne. Rolling in dough, we were not.

I replaced it with a 2014 Mazda5, which is sort of a miniminivan. If it didn't have sliding rear doors it would be called a station wagon. It's not much bigger than the Toyota.
I like having the capability to haul cargo, even though I usually don't. For example, I recently took my lawn mower to be repaired. You can't easily do that with a sedan.

We would spend most of the summer camping in the Catskills. On Thursdays or Fridays we would drive into Middletown to pick dad up when he took the train up from the city.

Two good scenes, for me. The brothers stop for gas at some two-pump joint up In the panhandle, one goes inside, the other lays his head back, eyes closed, window open. Up rolls a Camaro with a pair of white rapper wanna-be thugs. Driver thug tries the watchoo-lookin-at routine, hilarity ensues.
Other is a police stop, tense, young Texas trooper checking young bro who's just left big bro after they've robbed bank. Staties have a roadblock checkpoint, murders occurred, everyone's on edge. The cop never takes his hand off his holstered gun. Well-directed scene.

The Vista Cruiser was the first car my mom drove that had power brakes. She stood it on its nose a couple of times before she got used to them.
With only one exception, all the vehicles that I have owned have had manual transmissions. Years ago, driving to my youngest brother's second wedding with my sister, I rented an automatic for the trip from O'Hare to Dubuque. We had to stop every so often to pay tolls and, without fail, I'd hit the brake, which had a wide pedal, with both feet. Stopped real quick, we did!

This particular coworker is known to not care much for me; and quite frankly, the feeling is mutual, although I have never verbally criticized this coworker either to their face or to other people. I keep things to myself, and am professional.
So after the review, boss brings paperwork to me, noticeably colder than before. Says that we didn't have time, but she wanted to meet with me this week over "things that came up" during the review.
I have no doubt, when cornered, I'm sure said coworker turned things around on me, or at least made up/exaggerated my faults to try to take the heat off themself.
It's eaten me up all weekend, every spare moment worrying about what was said about me.

We used to own a 68 Fiat 500, which we drove in Italy.
You might have been faster, but I could fit in smaller parking spaces.
We lived on the economy on a one-way road, about which the Italians didn't care because it was wide enough for a couple of FIAT 500s. They were always annoyed when we came down the street in our Vista Cruiser, because there wasn't enough room for a FIAT 500 to go the other way.

I've been there - not your circumstances, but something that happened on a Friday and thinking about it ruined my weekend. So first thing Monday morning I went to the boss with my concern. We had a talk - lasted about 15 seconds - he supported me totally.
Firstly and secondly - together, because it's the same thing - be honest. Your integrity is your most valuable commodity, so don't compromise it. After that it's your loyalty to your boss. If she asked you to be honest and you were honest (to make her job easier) then you've accomplished this, too. Maybe - and I emphasize MAYBE - the boss needs an explicit reminder that you work for her and that you have her back.
Also, keep an ear to the ground and your resume up to date. Not saying that you should quit or that your days are numbered - just that I was advised twenty-odd years ago that you should always, always be ready.
And last, it's possible that this will turn into nothing. Really.
Good luck! (Please let us know how this unfolds.)

The way-back in a station wagon is almost, but not quite as awesome as sitting on the tailgate of a pickup as you head into the Wyoming back-country for a long weekend camping trip.
I love "The Boys of Summer." I used to argue with my buddy about the song. It offended him that I thought it was about a bitter townie who had a crush on a girl who preferred the young fellas who invaded their small, possibly, resort town every summer.
And lastly: Colin Kaepernick is a fucking idiot. This dude is fucking wealthy, wealthy like I will never know, doing a job that he may or may not actually be good at.
I am also very good at what I do as a land surveyor. I get paid accordingly. But the world's greatest surveyor (whatever that would look like--some guy with a magic Skittle-fed Total Station on his head?) would not make in his lifetime what this preening douchebag will collect in one predictably mediocre season. Fucking pussy.

And I had a Saturn SW2 until June of last year, when I junked it. It needed a major repair that would cost more than it was worth and a lesser repair to restore the AC, which was actually pretty important if I needed to show up anywhere not drenched in sweat during much of the year. Work has been too intermittent since then to commit to getting a new-ish car. I can't go with anything too old as I haven't much ability to do my own repairs or a place to do it.
We didn't really have any summer traditions. Between medical problems and financial difficulties, things were never assured enough to allow for much planning.

Of course, they followed the 'dummy allows character to express his alter ego' trope. Still, it was entertaining: the story got told about how Robert was inadvertently abandoned in a New Mexico gas station restroom by the family, while they were traveling to the Grand Canyon.

You probably will be asked why you are incompetent, why you are
sabotaging your co-worker, or mean and making impossible demands. So don't get mad or defensive.
the
answers are variations on "I was unaware that I was deficient, please
let me know what I am failing at and tell me what I need to do to
improve my performance IN WRITING so I can achieve it" and "I was
unaware that my actions were impeding my co-worker, what do I need to do
to avoid that"
You may be asked to support or deny any statement your co-worker made - and you get to be the professional who is focused on your job and how to accomplish it (and it helps if that describes you)
My position requires that I fill out a TPS form for every action that I take involving [whatever, fap fap fap], which I collate and hand off to [whichever wanker] for inclusion into [whatever pointless report you never see]. This is what I do to make sure that my reports are accurate and I check them at this interval to make sure they are complete.
At this point so and so came to me and told me to do such-and-such action. As I was involved in another action/as I was free/as I could tell this was important, I completed my then current task and began to review the request. At which point I was informed that I was doing it wrong and I had to do it faster. As co-worker appeared agitated I determined it was best not to engage further as I was concerned that any further engagement would aggravate the situation. I then completed the task and turned it back to co-worker, who did not comment on what I had done.

Merced is a place of bad memories for me. I spent a night in jail there. It was the year I spent traveling with my first employer on the carny circuit in central and northern CA, after having worked for him almost two years selling balloons and other stuff at swap meets, parades and other events.
In the parlance, the patch didn't go through. This means the local authorities and/or organized crime weren't satisfied with their payment to allow the carnival to proceed without disruption. So they went around arresting people on the slightest pretense. They couldn't think of a crime to pin on me but I was a minor and couldn't prove to their satisfaction that I was there with my mother's permission.
The fair grounds were decent as such things go but the area nearby was horrible. If you didn't have a car there wasn't anything close enough to do stuff like laundry or get food beyond what the concessions offered.
Plus it was over 100F almost around the clock that week.
So Merced has a high cringe factor for me. Apparently it's grown enough to have a Cal State campus now but I'm in no hurry to check it out.

Anthony Weiner sexted a brunette a picture of himself in underwear lying next to his son, it has been revealed. The New York Post has obtained new images the disgraced ex-congressman sent to the mystery women while his wife Huma Abedin toured the country for Hillary Clinton's campaign.
One of them shows the 51-year-old shamed politician wearing white boxer shorts with his only child, five-year-old Jordan Zain Weiner, curled up beside him.
The shamed politician was discussing massage parlors 'near my old apartment' shortly after 3 am on July 31, 2015, when he sent the snap to the divorced woman, a screen shot of the exchange shows.

My thought was that in the discussions of rights to make the film, someone said, "Hey, Sully, who would you want to play you in the movie?" and his response like any red-blooded American male of a certain age was, "Tom Hanks."
And they probably did whatever it took to make it happen. Although, I have a feeling, if Hanks heard he was Sully's first choice to play him, he would be immediately on board.

But we had good times in that station wagon, a '64 Chevy Belair. Maroon and dark green were the big colors that year, and the Belair was maroon. The parents used to make a nest of blankets and pillows, bathe us and put us in our jammies and take off to the drive-in movie theater. I recently traveled back to the old hometown, and discovered that the drive-in has become one of those suburban ruins taken over by nature. If you're curious, go to Google maps and look up 39-41 Taunton Street, Plainville, MA. The satellite view reveals the wedge of the lot, which still remains, although trees are now growing where we used to park our cars and watch movies in the 60s.
I learned to drive in that old Chevy Belair, which by that time was known as the Red Death. Three gears on the steering column. No power steering or brakes.
Good times.
Happy ending - I bought a 2005 Mustang convertible 6 years ago (Windveil blue). Beautiful model, still looks like a Mustang (unlike the newer ones). Many good times in that car, with the love of my life.
Americans have a special relationship with their cars, I think. This big beautiful country begs us to take road trips, and there's nothing like a road trip in a Mustang convertible.

Since I've lived here since 2007, I can guide you through it.
-Step 1. Know that you are fucked.
-Step 2. Be a man and don't pay a physician.
-Step 3. Have beer handy for when you start seeing "things".
3a. "Seeing Things" means quick-moving flies and mosquitoes that aren't actually there.
3b. It also involves your field of vision being "clouded", as if you were looking through rain.
3c. You are not falling. It may feel that way, but it is your brain telling you that you need beer.
-Step 4. Grab three Kleenexes and find a Hairy Pussy website.
Step 5. Sleep!

Good Morning Morons. Today is Monday, August 29, 2016. On this day in 1786 Shays's Rebellion, an armed uprising of Massachusetts farmers, began in response to high debt and tax burdens. Again this wasn't a rebellion caused simply by high taxes. It was caused by high taxes that had to be paid in gold when there was almost no gold available to pay them. The merchant class of the coastal regions were really running the government and the western farmers were being taxed to death and could not pay it. This resulted in the merchant class government seizing their property and selling it to the only people with money, the merchants. George Washington had to be called out of retirement to put the rebellion down.
One thing Shay's Rebellion is credited for is the call for the new Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation. We have always been taught that this was a "good thing". After seeing how the founders' ideas of small government have been subverted I no longer think this was such a good idea after all.

A solid U.S. labor market "has strengthened" the case for the first rate increase since last December, Fed Chair Janet Yellen told a central banking conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Several of her colleagues said the increase could come as soon as next month if the economy does well.
Another pack of lies built on a foundation of lies, spewed forth from an administration founded on lies, and buried in lies since 2009. Unemployment is astronomical while inflation is rampant. How do they get away with this 24/7 pack of lies? The common man's enemy, the MFM is covering for them.

Residents of this dusty hamlet are skeptical that an ongoing effort to replace 1.4 miles of chain link fencing with an imposing steel curtain, much less the ambitious border wall Donald Trump has vowed to build, will stem the tide of illegal immigrants they find under their trailers, in their backyards or wandering through town.

the black thug who shot Dwayne Wade's cousin while she was pushing her baby carriage was a 6 time felony hood who was on a "break" from his ankle bracelet monitoring.
Posted by: Vic
Yes, yes. That's all well and good.
But the important thing about this story is that Trump misspelled the cousin's name.

Looks like it was "operator error". Wifey looked at it and pushed the battery in the charger harder and it "clicked" and indicated charge.
I pulled the "manual" and it gave a bunch of different diagnostic stiff about the charger. It was evident that she had not pushed it in hard enough. (no jokes please)
I have taken over the charger and will check it out this morning as soon as the sun rises.

Something that Osama bin Laden and the Muslim brotherhood always railed about was western decadence. How Islam was superior at enforcing rules of proper conduct between men and especially women.
Anthony and his weiner are like the 'poster child' of western decadance - in fact a recruitment tool for ISIS. He's one sick fuck.
It's almost as if the Muslim woman he married is just fine with him exhibiting his decadence.

the bus and killed two passengers and injured 41 on the way for flood
recovery efforts in LA.
Whoever let that non-licensed illegal behind the wheel ought to do some jail time, though local news said the driver faces counts of vehicular homicide.
And according to the LA State police, all the passengers on that bus are also illegal aliens. Daily Mail, quoting NY Daily News, identified the passengers as 'flood cleanup volunteers'.
Yeah sure.

WEINERMANDIUS
I read a hyperlink from a Twitter sage
Who said: "A vast and trunkless dick of stone
Stands in an archive. Near it on the page,
Half sunk, a shattered screencap lies, whose tone
And wrinkled pecs and leer of middle age
Tell that its subject kept that poontang rapt
Who yet discuss, in coed Facebook throngs,
The man who chased them and his hand that fapped.
And on the EXIF these words appear:
`My name is Weinermandius, Dong of Dongs:
Look on my junk, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal bulge, manscaped and bare,
The lonely intertubes stretch far away."

A Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire who donated millions to Clinton-family nonprofits was denied a visa to enter the United States last year for terrorism-related grounds, according to a new report.
Gilbert Chagoury, who donated millions to the Clinton Foundation and in 2009 pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative, was denied entry amid a review of his ties in Lebanon to Hezbollah, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday.
And seriously, that phrase "He's a friend of ours" is right out of a mafia movie (the one with Decrapio and Pacino), and was used by Band or Huma to describe one of the Clinton donors looking for a favor in an email recently released.
And so it goes.

For the first time since we took the three hoodlums in, they're all going to the same school, on the same bus. No more scheduling differences, no more rushing all over town dropping off/picking up.
All three are wearing their new super hero t-shirts, (which glow in the dark). Youngest has on his stompy shoes, which flash when he stomps his feet.
And now that they're ours permanently, we've taken the older two off their state ordered ADD meds, and putting an end to that nonsense.

While Weiner behaves in a completely sophomoric, improper manner, he apparently is sexting with some sexy brunette posing in lingerie. Granted her face and head is not showing, but what kind of idiot just sends out their photo in lingeries to various people they don't know and why would anyone send it to Anthony Weiner? Even if was in my 20's and sexy I wouldn't have done it. People are that narcissistic? Yes, rhetorical question

If we had normal interest rates our annual deficits would be over $1 Trillion, not $500 Billion.
It's all one big scam and they are never going to be able to raise interest rates without crashing the entire World's economy.

yeah, and zero interest rate policy punished (stole from) 40 million older folks that had saved and expected a safe 5% return. But those that trust in government to prop up the stock (and bond) markets by any means necessary, make out like bandits to this day.
Greenspan long ago said the fed reserve could buy stocks as a means to "stabilize" markets, and now they are talking of "buying" (with QE "money") any asset class they want. Yellin just indicated they will "go there" ... which to me is just communism (actual government control/ownership) by way of policy.
"On the monetary policy side, .... future policymakers may wish to explore the
possibility of purchasing a broader range of assets." Yellin
So rather than local banks making loans to local people they know are "good for it", we have everyone invested in global markets that will be propped up by federal government(s). Then everyone is basically in a huge Ponzi scheme, but instead of letting it fail long ago, government keeps propping it up till everyone has their life savings in the scam. (Amazon rode the easy money wave with losses for 20 years, driving competition out of business ... so who picks the winners?)
The feds won't raise rates before the election (or ever), and if markets drop they will lower rates or do more QE, to save Hillary. Anyone that takes away the easy money punch bowl will face a bunch of angry drunks, but even happy drunks get into crashes in due time. Sobriety will be hard.
