Sir Richard Grenville jacks off with his right hand.
Lord Thomas Howard probably sat for only the face portrait and let the artist fill in the rest. When he saw the spindly legs that resulted he murdered the artist, which is why said artist remains unknown.

I always enjoy the earlier court painters. Those people were literally wearing their 'wealth' and the artists had to depict it faithfully. I don't think most of the sitters cared that much about physical features, as long as they were shown in a lot of jewels and gold. Sometimes those portraits are really interesting -- the faces are not 'pretty', but by heaven, they are wealthy, ie, powerful.

Elizabethan clothing looks so incredibly uncomfortable. Those ruffs around the neck - geez, and men today bitch about neckties. To these Elizabethans a modern day men suit would feel like shorts and a T shirt compared to those getups.

Thanks, CBD, for these portraits. The face and hands, especially on the first one, are rather stiff but the detail, technique and those brilliant colors are wonderful. The second portrait is even more detailed and beautifully executed. I envy that ability.
I enjoyed the Tennyson link. Now I have to get out my volume of his complete works. "Ulysses" is always worth rereading.

Re: Tennyson. I loved "The Charge of the Light Brigade" when I was little.
Of course, I thought that "Light" was the name of the brigade, which was cool. I felt the shame later when I realized it just meant a brigade without artillery. Also, as a child, it sounded gallant. I didn't know that riding into certain death on misunderstood orders to achieve no purpose was not gallant.

Speaking of fake news, it has been well documented that earthquakes and specifically earthquakes that occur in the ocean release greenhouse gases in huge quantities. The oceans are by far the biggest storage areas of greenhouse gases such as CO2 and methane and when these earthquakes happen the gases are released into the environment.
And yet, most of these earthquakes get little or no reporting and when they are reported on there is virtually no mention of the release of greenhouse gases. It doesn't help the narrative of blaming evil humans when naturally occurring events do the most damage. Posted by: JackStraw at December 08, 2016 10:21 AM (/tuJf) 130

This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Streamed Amazon video (link n SIG) about Kermit Gosnel abortion Dr in Philly. Real unstated story here is he is a race eugenacist! Exterminating Hispanics, sterilizing White's and "cleaning up" the blacks.
Kept only the feet of white babies he aborted in a cabinet as trophies. He talked about aborting black children with little hope in not become street trash. Hispanics had high mortality rates. He had offers in NY and LA and DC but he stayed in poor philly as that was where he could do the most "cleaning." White trash he immediately sedated any patient and sterilized and kept one white foot as a trophy. Black trash he sedated and sterilized the woman. Hispanics same but with an added frequent death. He'd of done same for whites but knew it would have brought inquiries. Curious if any of you had come to the same conclusions? Posted by: Shiggz at December 08, 2016 10:40 AM (G7wcY) 193

OT, perhaps stalling the XL pipeline turns out for the best. The new head of the EPA can approve a refinery in the Bakken area. It would save transportation costs and lower environmental risks. Warren Buffet hardest hit, so its all good.

Posted by: josephistan at December 08, 2016 10:34 AM (7HtZB) I have an acquaintance who is a lesbian. She is very successful and she and her partner, another wealthy lesbian were all in for Hillary. They must've donated heavily because there were some terrifying pics posted on FB of the two them hugging Bill Clinton. After the election she posted something like this: Please be respectful of us in our time of disappointment and sorrow. You who have never suffered discrimination and fear for being who you are can't know how sad and frightened we are right now. Blah blah blah, it went on this vein for another couple of paragraphs. I just don't understand their fears. Hillary does not have a good record on gay rights. She was against everything on their agenda before reluctantly embracing it.

Jon Stewart has figured it out...and his fans are pissed at him for it; they see it as weakness in the face of evil Trump. "I think of one of the lessons of this book and what we're talking about is to put satire and culture in its proper place --- that controlling a culture is not the same as power. And that while we were all passing around really remarkably eviscerating videos of the Tea Party --- that we had all made great fun of --- [they were] sitting off a highway at a Friendly's taking over a local school board. And the lesson there is, as much as I love what we did and I liked it, there is a self-satisfaction there that is unwarranted, unearned and not useful."

Billionth time it's been discussed here (though I've never chimed in), but yes the FB thing baffles me. When Zuckerberg was still in elementary school there were perfectly functional ways on the web to "keep in touch with people," beyond email.
I was never even a bit curious about it, but listening to my football-watching friends talk about it, and how their kids were sharing this and that, was enough to confirm my instincts. These people are nice but political cretins of the coastal clueless sub-species. And of course they and their ignorant children loved FB as a way to show-boat their ignorance and low effective intelligence. There's another sub-current with FB that's sad.

Between the iron gates of fate The seeds of time were sown And watered by the deeds of those Who know and who are known. Knowledge is a deadly friend If no one sets the rules. The fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools. The wall on which the prophets wrote Is cracking at the seams. Upon the instruments of death The sunlight brightly gleams. When every man is torn apart With nightmares and with dreams, Will no one lay the laurel wreath When silence drowns the screams. Posted by: Grump928(c) at December 08, 2016 11:32 AM (QQ+il) 356

Bill Maher is one of my least hated liberal commentators. He is 100% wrong on most things, but he tends to at least call bullshit most of the time. Also, he'll reasonably discuss things with people that disagree with him which is a mile better than most.
He's an absolute tool on religion and, like I said, wrong about almost every issue but I'd take him over 90% of the ACTUAL media. Posted by: Moron Pundit at December 08, 2016 11:35 AM (xeeHA) 364

Yet Axelrod (may Satan be sharpening his barbed cock waiting for him) touts this even to this day. So, it is OK to criticize and question Trump.

Depends on whether or not they have any real plans for Mooch or not. If he dies, all her political currency is gone. They polished her as hard as she'd let them and she was still a hulking, scowling, and graceless mess 99% of the time.

Posted by: andycanuck at December 08, 2016 12:00 PM (kUgrv) I can't speak for the others, but yes, MI uses basically a scantron form. You fill in the arrow next to your choices and a poll watcher stands there while you feed it into the machine. If it detects something wrong (like you chose three people for drain commissioner but you were only supposed to choose two), it will reject the ballot and it won't be counted; you get to fill out another. Counted ballots increment a little 7 segment LED counter and are kept in the machine. That said, I have no idea how some precincts recorded hundreds of votes with only 50 physical ballots in the machine. But as far as I can tell, they aren't hooked up to the internet or anything.

Just try to unpack a man who thinks that pose is worth capturing, and the woman who shares it while announcing, "Yeah, he's stuck with me!" They deserve each other. Posted by: Lizzy at December 08, 2016 12:13 PM (NOIQH) I bet that when he does finally leave her she will discover that the assets he cares about really aren't as comingled as she believed. Remember, this idiot believed him when he said that they would get married after gay marriage was legalized, and then once it was said "nah that's ok I'm still good."

attention. Just peruse her IMDB page to see that the woman managed to get on *a lot* of tv shows, not the interview kind, but reality shows, scripted shows, award shows.

Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein told Fox
News' Neil Cavuto on Wednesday that people walk around with floppy disks in order to hack and reprogram voter machines. Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at December 08, 2016 11:55 AM (IqV8l Uh huh. Just like they do ATM machines. And they walk right into the polling place, and sidle up to the machine, and then pull out the old floppy and put in the new one, and no one is the wiser. Because there is a slot for that, right there on the front of the machine. Right next to where you put in your bank card, so the poll workers can ID you. But the problem is that there are so many Republican scam artists doing this, that they often don't know that a scammer has been there right before them , putting in a new floppy. So it really screws up the tally , because the machine keeps starting over with the new floppy replacement every hour. Stein is supposedly getting her computer hacking training info from two tenured computer science profs at Michigan State. Michigan State needs to review it's educational staff employment policies. Between these Back to the Future wizards and the physician who was teaching at MSU until the lawsuits started over his fondling gymnasts at the USA gymnastics facility, Michigan State has bigger problems than Mark Dantonio's withered football team.

That said, I have no idea how some precincts recorded hundreds of votes with only 50 physical ballots in the machine. But as far as I can tell, they aren't hooked up to the internet or anything.
Posted by: hogmartin Old trick, in precincts without an opposition observer, the poll workers just cycle straight ticket Democratic ballot through the machine. They try and match the number of registered voters who didn't show up, so as to not be obvious. Sometimes they screw up, hence 110% precincts for Obama. They use local hooligans to discourage Republican poll watchers from the precincts.

A major re-thinking of the past 8 years would have to take place among the Dims for that not to happen and we know Dims never ever ever self-reflect.

I've got a Wire EDM machine that used a 3.5" floppy drive. It's a 1999 model. I recently replaced the floppy drive with an emulator that uses USB flash drives. Much more reliable. The floppies would only last a month or 2 until they started giving errors.

OT, perhaps stalling the XL pipeline turns out for the best. The new head of the EPA can approve a refinery in the Bakken area. It would save transportation costs and lower environmental risks. Warren Buffet hardest hit, so its all good.
Posted by: Lollygagger Lollygagging at December 08, 2016 10:41 AM (4/vPb) You build refineries close to the consuming market, not close to the producing area. Much more cost effective to pipeline ONE stream of crude, rather than many streams of refined product. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 08, 2016 12:50 PM (MiBfH) 544

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 08, 2016 12:50 PM (MiBfH) I would argue that depends both on the your pipeline and refinery infrastructure. It may be more efficient to pipe gasoline to where it is needed from a new refinery than to pipe crude to new refineries. Granted, it also may be more susceptible to failure. What we do now is pipe the crude to the refineries on the ports because we ship a lot of it overseas and that is more efficient for that goal - and permitting for new refineries is gowdawful. If it were possible to set up smaller refineries on a pipeline, that might be a better option, and in a strategic sense get the industry both where it will be appreciated and away from the ports where it is currently concentrated.

Posted by: MTF at December 08, 2016 12:34 PM (sCBEO) I'm IN the military. First, the original post claimed Obama was "calling on" military members to criticize the administration. You seem to think that there is something in the statement advising members to question their chain of command and orders. I don't get any of that from a reading of the paragraph- it's a pretty rote listing of the freedoms of the US. Pretty boilerplate. Second, go read SGT Steins comments that got him discharged. It's much more than "not appreciating nuance". It's clearly over the line. Posted by: Banana Splits Guy at December 08, 2016 01:05 PM (3eNDd) 548
