AKA, 'Voter Registration Strategy'
Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at January 12, 2018 12:02 AM (y3sT9)
It is far more insidious than this, and much worse than most have dared imagine.
Obummer pipelined multiple bus loads of illicitly imported, poverty ridden, serfs-on-the-half-shell, mostly very "purple" areas, which were known to be teetering on the brink between (D) & (R).
Certainly, all of the scheming traitors in the Obummer Admin took as granted that these people would be too "under the microscope" to get away with voting, at least in the immediate cycle or three after their "settlement."
What's forgotten here though, is that they ARE counted, and that IMMEDIATELY, into U.S. Census demographic maps.
Don't confuse this with the actual U.S. Census, every decade.
The Census info that's mapped by the department, immediately affects the allocation of U.S. funds via old bills such as the Voting Rights Act, Civil Rights Act, etc, plus directs certain regulatory agencies as to how and where they spend their Congressionally Allocated Buxs.
Thus, a Democrat controlled, firehose of money goes directly into those contested districts, ALL of it favoring various SJW "Help the Immigrant" programs, Voter Registration (D)rives, and other flow(s) of moneys, 98% of which, directly boosts liberal priorities of every kind.
AND THEN, when the Every Decade Census actually happens? Even though New Immigrant Suarez can't vote, she and her 10,000 fellow arrivals, can rip away the representation from some small, rural CONSERVATIVE district, and add a newly gerrymandered seat right smack dab into the center of a Democrat controlled Welfare Economized Stronghold.
Who needs "votes", when you can shift whole Congressional districts, just by bussing in such illicit, wholesale population changes?
The "voter registration" issue, really, is a red herring, when compared to the redistricting BOMB, which is the real, existential threat.
Jim
Sunk New Dawn
Read this last night on the ONT. I too, believe this is insidious. Remember when Beck said he met with a Soros minion, who told him that everything has been set in motion and there is no stopping it? I believe this is what he meant. In addition, do you remember when the Obama WH met with "the arts" community to see what they could do to spread the good word. This is why we are seeing so many SJW messages in our movies, music and all the other arts. The Dems are relentless and are slowly changing our society for the worse. Thanks Jim for expressing what I have been thinking. I am a lurker but this really hit home for me, enough to comment.

All due respect, but do some people need a whiteboard and a Sharpie and a diagram to get the message? Respect for your country and flag, esp when prepatory to practicing that country's core values (freedom of assembly, voice of the people, etc), doesn't mean you have to view your country as perfect.
This will never not irritate the crap out of me. Pick another way to protest, asshole.

A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae, in the eulipotyphlan family Erinaceidae. There are seventeen species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and in New Zealand by introduction. There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas (the extinct genus Amphechinus was once present in North America). Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews (family Soricidae), with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link. Like many of the first mammals, they have adapted to a nocturnal way of life. Hedgehogs' spiny protection resembles that of the unrelated porcupines, which are rodents, and echidnas, a type of monotreme.

A group of wealthy investors wanted to be able to predict the outcome of a
horse race. So they hired a group of biologists, a group of statisticians,
and a group of physicists. Each group was given a year to research the
issue. After one year, the groups all reported to the investors. The
biologists said that they could genetically engineer an unbeatable
racehorse, but it would take 200 years and $100 billion. The statisticians
reported next. They said that they could predict the outcome of any race,
at a cost of $100 million per race, and they would only be right 10% of the
time. Finally, the physicists reported that they could also predict the
outcome of any race, and that their process was cheap and simple. The
investors listened eagerly to this proposal. The head physicist reported,
"We have made several simplifying assumptions... first, let each horse be a
perfect rolling sphere..."

OK, enough with all the snark about bowling. I love to bowl. Mrs. Old Blue and I bowl three leagues a week. We get to be with friends and do something we really enjoy. It's good exercise. A three game set is the equivalent of walking one mile. Bowling is a real sport, with the top tier players being highly skilled. I'm a good bowler, but I couldn't compete with the top women bowlers, much less the top men bowlers. I just don't understand all the snarky attitudes against bowlers.

My life is good; my belly, it is full;
But what is this, with tweezers held aloft?
A thing to eat, while sitting on my wool?
A reach with just my mouth - alas, I fail;
Release the arms, concealed within my heft!
With hands outstretched, this too to no avail.
And so I fall, and tumble to my left.
I didn't eat the bug - Dat Ass Tho, right?
My ass, my hedgehog ass which doth protrude,
My gluttony produced a ghastly sight
To DangerGirl and Skip and voter dude.
So here I lie with neither bug nor pride,
You say I'm cute but really I'm just wide.

That used to irritate me, too. Then I just dismissed it as a generational thing.
What boils me, however, is when I check out of a store and I say "Thank you" to the cashier and the response is "You're welcome." I'm being polite, you miserable putz, but don't think for a second that I think you were doing me a favor by scanning a few barcodes and taking my money. I gave you money; you should be thanking me!
And then there's Stewart's. They NEVER say "Thank you." I've long ago concluded that it's against corporate policy for a Stewart's employee to ever say "Thank you" to a customer under any circumstances.

I think you should lighten up Francis.
Personally I used to have a habit as customer of saying "same to you" in auto repsonse to any service person statement. One could have told me to fuck off and die and without even registering it, I'd probably have neutrally repeated "same to you" In my old age, I'm more inclined to thank the service folks or say "have a nice day" Its not a very fun job and they don't usually have any stock in the store.

OK, that made me laugh! That's what I'm talking about! Did you know that Mookie Betts (Red Sox) bowled a 300 game during qualifying for the recent PBA World Series. And CJ Anderson (Denver Broncos running back) is a good enough bowler to qualify for a regional event? (He bowled better than I did. I didn't make the cut. He did)

They must think pretty highly of their little store. *Everything* I need? That's mighty presumptuous of you, Target.

Not at all. Station IX and activities like the fictional
Desmond Llewelyn we e devoted to interpersonal spying equipment and sabotage on land.
Department of Miscellaneous Weapons Development was tasked with solutions to problems posed by the Royal Navy operating forces. Anything to hurt the Germans.
Hence, Hedgehog and Squid ASW (throw-ahead ASW weapons), AA defense on the cheap, acoustic decoys, and some of the artificial harbour tech for Normandy. And a lot of stuff that did not work, but generally went boom.
Ironically, one of their successes was plastic armor for merchant ships, but this got very little publicity.

What's up with the two handed throw these days? Is that the future?
Posted by: Roc Ingersol at January 12, 2018 09:44 PM (2DOZq)
It kind of is. With the two handed throw you increase the rev rate on the ball. The upside is the angles to the pocket increase opening up the strike zone. The downside is that if you don't match the speed of the ball to the rev rate, you're not going to be able to be effective. That said, some of the new young talent like CJ Tackett and Marshall Kent both have a very high rev rates with their thumb in the ball. The overall best bowler right now is Jason Belmonte from Australia who uses the two handed delivery with only his ring and middle finger in the ball, and a new star is Jesper Svennson who does the same thing from the left side of the lane. Their skill would be comparing a little leaguer to Mickey Mantle.
I've seen a lot of people try to do the two handed delivery. Either A) they aren't able to deliver the ball in such a way as to increase their rev rate, or B) they can't match their ball speed to keep up with the rev rate. Either way, they're less effective. Most of the time, they aren't accurate, don't make their spares and about 75% of the time I can beat them.

Well, in my Shopgirl experience, that's exactly what we do.
Too bad you never gave them the chance.
As far as "Thank you" at the register, it's a reflex to say " "You're welcome", though we try to beat you to it.
I've had more than my share of customers who don't bother looking at me/talk on their cell through the whole transaction/throw credit cards or money AT me. And as far as the "No problem" response...ffs, when you are forced to be polite to 100 people a day, sometimes you like to switch it up.
Maybe be bothered by something else, and let that go.
Or not.
