Dang.

A discussion of the beauteous Chiriucahuas, as well as Mary Baker Eddy this fine morning. it's serendipity all 'round!
Well, we've got almost a one in 13 chance of pulling an ace, so why not double down?

I have a confession to make: I like pulling shit out of my ass.
Moonbootica, how delighted are you with Ubuntu today?
Good Morning, Liberal People!
I have to go. SIL will be here soon to make candy. Gotta go prep.
Have fun bats! I'll be back with fudge, pralines and divinity...amybe some marshmallows too.
I have a confession to make back: we knew.
Or more to the point, perhaps someone could ask Gen. Casey if he's ever been right about the situation in Iraq.
the only folks who have ever been right about the situation in iraq were the people who said there shouldn't BE a 'situation' in Iraq...

Central Scrutinizer,
That Skidboot vid is amazing, but you know what? The narrator sounds like some cat from the 700 Club.
also, I really do adore my little blood sugar monitor kit, especially the sporty little black nylon case.
And to reiterate, a good morning to all. WGG, i saw that t-shirt too, another ggood one. i'm still wanting to know how i get on the Eschaton "Get a Better job For_____" list, and what the addy for 'Fundies Say the Darndest Things".
and now, opening bets. Will this be QUOTE: "Posting will be light, on and off, throughout the holiday season", or is this the usual morning 8-threads-in-an-hour explosion?

Snake eyes, baby!
I have a confession to make:
bathroom humor grosses me out.
But that's okay - I love sexual humor, and some people aren't comfortable with that.
So tit for ass, so to speak.
Complete darkness at 7am is just not right, somehow!
You gotta hand it to Gates. He learned more in three days than the rest of the government learned in three years. It's just a coincidence that it meshes so neatly with Chimpy's "plan."
Cynicus,
Just start looking for a job. We'll all send good vibes your way.

Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore
Yeah, but it was easy to ignore him. That dog is smarter than most people I know.
We're doubling down on 20, as McCain/Lieberman said we should.
Luck be a jowly-faced B-girl tonight.
My reservations around Gates have far more to do with his diminuitive stature (and the attendant possibility of a Napoleon complex)than anything else thus far, I must admit.
Sheets on the misinformer.
I have mislaid my spectacles AGAIN, dammit! I suppose I should check between the cushions of the couch FIRST, this time.
One benefit of the media-industrial complex's complicity in this endeavor is that they're generally happy to not notice when people get everything wrong.
alternate explanation: People in industries that produce poison do not themselves participate. Porn stars do not try to get their kids to follow in the footsteps. Toxic waste dumpers do not live near the dumps. The McDonald's franchise owners don't eat all their meals there despite it being free to them.
And the MSM do not listen to what they are saying.
so, it might be less that they are deliberately not noticing as they don't remember what the shit was they were pushing six months ago. Does McDonalds remember a particular Big Mac from last July?

Oh.
My dog Speeder already was kind of a strutter, and so the command dance! only gets him to do what he wants to anyway.

your speeder both looks and sounds a lot like my dancing dog, Hanna-Stella
(from the dead end of the dead thread)
Uncle Smokes,
Still need this?
Oh, hell, it goes waaaaay further back. Look at non-human primate research.
JR, kerosene and a match
Well yes, it does in a sense. What I should have said is that the desire to be on top of one's local clan hierarchy has existed since the advent of social behavior in mammals. What I was getting at with the other statement is that human nature, more so that that of any other primate, is to behave with very significant altruism towards some kind of defined "in group", e.g. the tribe or clan, and to behave competitively or even murderously towards other such groups. I believe that that behavior is rooted in the early evolution of human societies, but I would hva to admit that Jane Goodall has famously documented a rudimentary version of that behavior pattern in chimpanzees, as well. It's just that we practice "in-group empathy/out-group competition" to a singular extent as a species. In today's society, the nuclear and sometimes extended family has largely replaced the earlier tribal/clan competitive unit on the most basic level, but with some in-group behavior extended as a norm towards much larger social units like the nation. Therein lies the hope for the human race, because maybe one day we can extend the in-group mantle to all of humanity. But as I said before, that change will not come as the result of any overt revolutions. Those just create new oligarchies.
quick, quick the chase to the new drapes is on.
Orwell would be impressed.
1) It's not "double down" it's "double or nothing".
You "double down" after the face cards dealt make it highly likely that you have a winning hand and you want to maximize your gain. Does that sound like anything you see in Iraq? Unless your name is Muqtada al Sadr?
2) It's not a "surge" until they leave. Before that, it's just a leap of faith.
Imagine someone blindfolds you and throws you off a ledge. Feel that surge? Don't worry. It's only temporary.
These guys have been wrong about everything and the MSM still spews their propaganda.
So tit for ass, so to speak.

Orchestra and balcony.

Thank you, and thanks to Skidboot.
I'm not a poker player, but Mr. K tells me "doubling down" is something you do when you have a strong hand.
I see on the link back in 1999 Hitchens was dreaming that a run for the Senate would be Hillary Clinton's downfall.
This must be killing him.

Newton Minnow's right, it's not a surge until they leave. In the meantime call it Escalation.
That's actually a pretty terrible analogy, as saying we have 20 implies we have a good chance of actually winning.
This is more like doubling down on 173 and not listening to the dealer because all that matters is there are still cards left in the shoe.
Unfortunately, there's no Winston Wolfe available to efficiently stuff this bloody mess into a car trunk and confidently drive away. Neither Baker nor Hamilton turned out to be Winston. And it's obvious that Gates is not going to be either.
