Molestation Okay, But Electricity is Evil
UPI | Submitted by: Space Jew
"An Iowa sex offender who belongs to a church that believes electricity is evil has asked a judge to exempt him from wearing an electronic monitor. Scott Smith was given a short jail sentence and five years probation for molesting two teenage girls in 2003. At the time, he was a member of the Brotherhood of Christ and his wife and children still belong to the group."

A shocking 37 million Americans live in poverty. That is 12.7 per cent of the population - the highest percentage in the developed world. They are found from the hills of Kentucky to Detroit's streets, from the Deep South of Louisiana to the heartland of Oklahoma. Each year since 2001 their number has grown.

New told police that he shot her when a rifle he was cleaning misfired after he dropped it and tried to catch it." ... "[His third wife] was shot to death in her bedroom sometime before 4 a.m. Oct. 15. William New blamed an intruder."

My girlfriend's late grandfather had a very large, sweet, and not-very-bright cat who thought she was a lapcat. She was so big, and he was so skinny and frail, that he literally could not get up unless someone took her off of him.

I posted about this before, this is just one last time, with the bit of transcript thrown in. From Friday the 17th, a snippet from the left/right pundit segment that goes under the heading When Wingnuts Live Down To Your Lowest Stereotype Of Them, namely, the meme that ' conservatives claim gov't is bad and then go about proving it when they get the chance to govern (and then point to it as if it makes their case)'
SHIELDS: I mean, one statistic… -- 24,967 pre-fab homes bought, top dollar price, no bid contract and 1,295 modular homes -- $900 million -- $900 million - okay. They are worthless. They cannot go in a flood plain. All right. They're rotting away. They have to be sold at fire sale prices.
I don't know how many conservative speeches I've listened to and Rich has as well, after-dinner speeches about the welfare queen who's using food stamps to buy a bottle of vodka and how terrible this is. Where is the outrage on this? I mean, it just really bothers me.

Well, NPR starting out well tonight--Adam Davidson, reporter, just said it's hard to draw the line in determining when you call a foreign owned corporation (didn't distinguish between state owned and privately owned, altho did mention two Chinese companies which while privately held have executives close to the Chinese leadership), after all, many airlines are foreign owned and they land their planes at our airports and we have no problems with that.
Why would president of the US be kept abreast of having UAE state-owned company responsible for port activity at our leading ports? With all the foreign companies buying into US companies, how could the president keep up? He cannot find single port security expert who agrees that Dubai Ports World poses any security risk. Said Schumer game him two, who denied there was any security risk.
Davidson gave no names of any of these experts with whom he consulted.
Davidson, with a barely suppressed chortle, said he cannot think of any other story where the facts are so far away from what is being discussed.
I can--WMD in Iraq. Reasons put forth by BushCo for invading Iraq. Aluminum tubes. Mushroon clouds. On and on.
Wow, why would anyone think it was an issue after listening to this?
Indeed, just because there are several fishy changes made in how this company is being handled? That the Defense Department suggests we might lose our docking rights or welcome if we don't acquiesce in this contract? Just why are they being told, contrary to other foreign owned companies, that they are exempt from keeping business records on US soil?
Now, To The Point did have an expert on who said it might create an issue for the Dubai government if materiel is shipped through one of their ports, especially the out of the military ports on the Gulf, to Israel and those weapons, etc., are used to kill Palestinians. Saw article today which mentioned Autralia is warning its citizens to not go to the UAE as their are threats against Coalition of the Willing states and citizens.

I think this is the basic Rove pattern, because they did it with the war in Iraq, too. They started a war, wholly unprovoked, and ever since have been claiming special circumstances based on the war they started.
It's the same thing: they create a reality and then try to use it as a moral and legal justification for their actions - but there is no objective morality or legality in such situations. It's all created.
They try to make their case not by things as they are, but things as they end up being after they've fucked them up.

I'm too lazy to go dig it up, but a few weeks ago I blogged about how more and more supposedly middle class Americans, the ones who have big houses, SUVs, plasma screens, etc., but no savings, are finding themselves using payday loan places and pawn shops. It's truly scary. And, of course, it's a road to ruin, because of the interest rates they charge. And, now, you can't just declare bankruptcy and get out from under.

This is simply incredible; if it's true it ought to go on everyone's blog's front page. What is it about George Bush's need to insult everybody? From the Disgruntled Chemist:
George W Bush's protocol handlers have notified South Block that the American President's deep belief in his born again faith precludes his visiting Mahatma Gandhi's Samadhi at New Delhi's Raj Ghat -- during his forthcoming visit to India.
When asked -- by reporters on a recent trip aboard Air Force One -- if he will be breaking a decades long tradition of foreign dignitaries visiting India paying respect to the Father of India, Mr Bush, as is his wont, was caught off guard and mumbled something about how the Gospel of Jesus Christ views cremation as a pagan practice.

Wow. Trickle down is working just great, huh?
Excuses, excuses. I blame Bushco for 100% of it, based on several things they've let continue...
1) Unmitigated immigration based on the lie that "These people do jobs Americans won't do". Of course Americans won't do them, the pay is reprehensibly low. Fewer workers available would force higher wages. Fuck them and their talking point lies.
2) Inflation is out of control, pricing housing out of reach. Damn the tax cut, the rich are buying up assets like housing instead of creating jobs. Assholes. Higher mortgage payments by the average family or individual reduces discretionary spending, which in turn reduces local service jobs.
3) Selling off our resources cheaply to China/India/et al. Then they take those resources and make cheap goods. If we stopped giving away our scrap steel and forced remanufacturing to take place here, we'd create jobs.
There are more, but I'm too pissed to write any more than this. I'm certain some winger "economist" would spin what I've written here into some tin-hat looking statements, but this is what I see on the street. Eat shit Bushco.

Hey, I recognize that I've got a big fat ego that needs feeding hourly. But that doesn't change the fact that if Jesus came winging through the cloud bank I'm staring at right now, he'd get one gander at how his "Church" has transmogrified, and puke.
Was that four legs good who said Robertson, Dobson, and Falwell should parachute naked into central Bagdhad waving their Bibles, thereby shocking the Iraqi's into lasting peace. Well, that's probably under consideration at theh White Man House as we type.
They wouldn't need parachutes of course. But if that didn't work out, say, becuase of an Intel. Design error, can we get some sailor dives?

I once read that science had proven that dogs have no clue how big or small they are. The study was conducted to help explain why, say, a chihuahua might engage a Doberman in a fight. The dogs have no concept of relative size.
I had a Cairn terrier in the past who used to try to attack Dobermans, so this seems to confirm the idea. OTOH, she could have just been very brave and she was a terrier, after all. Terriers are brawlers, irrespective of size.
On the other hand, Hank did learn over time to play with small dogs more gently. At first she just sat on them but now she plays with her paws delicately and avoids squashing them flat. Hank is the Lab.

Does anyone get the same fealing that the administration is actually praying for a terrorist attack right now?
Au contraire.
Before the Dubai port debacle, Bush "won" whether we were attacked or not. If there were no attacks, the 'Pukes would trumpet, "He kept us safe!" If there was an attack, Fredo would just climb on the pile with his bullhorn and fireman prop and pump up the "gullible mass base."
Post-Dubai Fredo loses if there is an attack. The question becomes, "Well, if you were willing to sell our ports out to the highest bidders (and Ay-rabs), what OTHER national security -related infrastructure have you sold out and to whom?
They are praying that there are no terrorist attacks now. You can be sure of it.

Parents fear president’s visit may hold up kids heading for boards
Neha Sinha
New Delhi, February 24: Parents worrying about their children’s first board examinations now have one more thing to get exercised about — the disruption George W Bush’s visit will cause on the opening day of the exams.
The US President arrives here on March 1 but will be moving around Delhi the next day, when the board exams for Class X students begin. He is slated to visit Raj Ghat from the Maurya Sheraton Hotel around 10.30 am and as a safety measure, both carriageways on all the roads Bush takes will be sealed. Worst affected will be Ring Road near Raj Ghat.

And then the editorial board has the nerve to call moderate Muslims "fence-straddlers" on the issue.
Excuse me? Remind me what day and what page the NYTimes published the cartoons? (No, not the elephant dung cartoon.)

Post-Dubai Fredo loses if there is an attack. The question becomes, "Well, if you were willing to sell our ports out to the highest bidders (and Ay-rabs), what OTHER national security -related infrastructure have you sold out and to whom?
I would love it to be true, but untill I see Russert et. al. hammering the junta for four weeks straight over this, I'm thinking that an attack would play into their hands with the SATB set (scardyassed titty babies) who will run to dear leaders bosoms.
Then I thought that the Osama Bin Livin large (rested and tanned) vid before the election would hurt the junta.
You were thinking cherry, maybe?

Here's another piece of trivia. And it proves unassailably that the Bacon Theory correctly describes our humanity.
Barney Fife mistakenly indicted the hapless character that actor Bill Schallert was playing in an early Mayberry episode. Schallert went on to appear in the acclaimed "In the Heat Of The Night", co-starring with the hugely under appreciated actor Warren Oates, who played Deputy Sam Wood. Later, Oates would be featured in "Stripes" as Sgt. Hulka in charge of Bill Murray and John Candy. Mr. Candy, before his tragic demise, was noted to have heard of Ron Silver. And, of course, Ron Silver would happily service the President.
So Don Knotts was only four degrees removed from the planet's leader.

I did however enjoy the Reading Market.

The very best pie I ever had was my grandma's lemon meringue pie. I believe i would kill to have another piece of that. I never got her recipe out of her and I regret it to this day.

Wikipedia Excerpt (from the illustrated "Masturbation" entry) re: "Onanism"
The first use of "onanism" to consistently and specifically refer to masturbation appears to be Onania, an anonymous pamphlet first distributed in London in 1716. In it was a bombastic but novel tirade, drawing on familiar themes of sin and vice, this time in particular against the "heinous sin" of "self-pollution". After dire warnings that those who so indulged would suffer impotence, gonorrhea, epilepsy and a wasting of the faculties (included were letters and testimonials supposedly from young men ill and dying from the effects of compulsive masturbation) the pamphlet then goes on to recommend as an effective remedy a "Strengthening Tincture" at 10 shillings a bottle and a "Prolific Powder" at 12 shillings a bag, available from a certain shop in London.

I'm surprised Phelps hasn't had the shit beat out of him at one of these funerals.

He's hoping for just that. Almost the whole family are lawyers.
He's basically the real life equivalent of a troll.

I finally got a waffle iron that I'm happy with. Actually I've had it for years, but it looked so inauspicious, that I never bothered to clean it up and try it out. It came from a great aunt of mine, and I only got that box because no one else wanted the strange things in it. There was some interesting antique cookware that I was very interested in, including this very old waffle iron.
Before I first turned it on I removed the top and bottom of the cover to see what condition the nichrome wire and insulation was in. Both were in excellent shape, so I cleaned it up, and tried it out a month ago.
It makes great waffles that pop out easily from the pattern.

Me, too, I've got to say, if the funeral involved the NJ branch of my family, several large boys would have explained to the Phelps people why they shouldn't be there and, had the Phelps people not gotten the message, they'd have been given a real-life lesson in getting the ever-loving crap beaten out of them. Just sayin. The final words would have had something to do with not upsetting someone's mother.

We had another beautiful, sunny day here in the 'vegas, so I took a river picture, for no apparent reason.

Bye the Bye,
A certain Historian who hangs in this theatre in the round will be having a birthday one month from now, +1 day.
I once read that science had proven that dogs have no clue how big or small they are. The study was conducted to help explain why, say, a chihuahua might engage a Doberman in a fight. The dogs have no concept of relative size.
Draco
It's not that they don't realize it (dogs know, for instance, which jumps they can't make, which is realated to size). It's just that small dogs suffer from Napoleon complex.
At one point I had two lap-Rotties. Oy.

So I checked on my master photo directory which holds almost every shot taken with my Nikon D70, and it's... *gulp* 43GB.

Shoo-fly pie is to Your Humble Narrator what rhubarb is to Tena.
Come to think of it, I've never met a Pennsylvania Dutch baked good I didn't like.
And it shows.

Yeah, but still, if it were my son or daughter, it'd be worth whatever charges were brought to knock his teeth down his fucking throat.

Why is it that whenever I check back in here after an absence, especially weekends, someone is either talking about sex or trying to start a rhubarb?

I'm watching Scalia delivering a speech that he's reading.
This is bullshit.

Wow. OMG. Wow.
No wonder his speeches weren't broadcast.
Scalia is a moron.

Speaking of Phelps, is it true that Anne Coulter is his daughter? Sure would make sense, but maybe just another one of those comforting legends.
