In a pre-dawn attack Thursday, U.S. missiles destroyed the house of reputed al-Qaida leader Aden Hashi Ayro in the central town of Dusamareeb. The attack killed 24 other people, five in the targeted house and the others in nearby homes, said a town elder, Ilmi Hassan Arab.
It was the first major success in a string of such U.S. military attacks over the past year in this Horn of Africa nation, but analysts said it was more symbolic and unlikely to significantly weaken the insurgency against the weak interim government.
"This will not deter us from prosecuting our holy war against Allah's enemy," Sheik Muqtar Robow, a spokesman for Ayro's al-Shabab militia said in a telephone interview. "If Ayro is dead, those he trained are still in place and ready to avenge against the enemy of Allah.."
hey fokowi
that's no way to talk to the boss!
On that tractor discussion below, few people outside agriculture know about the feteing and trips farmers get from tractor dealerships and especially from harvester dealerships. When my uncle was buying a harvester he was given free trips to the U.S., to France (I think) and to some third country, with everything paid for.
Repost...
libertarianism simply doesn't stand. Any pretense that one doesn't need others vanishes the second of implantation into a uterus. It gets further trashed when one is vaccinated, housed, clothed, fed, taught, kept safe.
Dickheads, er libertarians, seem to forget that the society they were born into and draw from wouldn't exist in the first place if man was libertarian by nature.
I had a friend who dabbled in it in his late teens, and I asked him about stuff like how would roads etc., get built. His response was essentially, "people would recognize that it is in their rational self-interest to invest in such things".
Not very god damn likely.

A combine can cost over 100 grand.
Exactly. So the amount of selling he was subjected to was something incredible.
I have only visited tractor dealerships at the county fair. But I did drive a rented rototiller into the lake once.
the last combine i sold in 1992 was dealer cost of $110,000. today they are around $150,000.

That reminds me... Wall Street HATES Costco, because they pay their employees fairly and have a really good health care plan.
Never mind that Costco reliably generates profits and grows every year.
Costco sets a bad example for Montgomery Burns imitators among the capitalist class, by not driving down wages as low as they can possibly go. Plus, of course, they could make so much more money if only they would grind their employees into pulp.
Why, all those Wal-Mart serfs might actually expect a better deal from their employer! Perish the though

So we bought our snug little house on the lake a couple of years ago. Beautiful place designed by an older woman and her architect. Sadly, she died before she could move in, and we purchased it from her estate. When she died, all work pretty much stopped and we head a nice house with a great view and lots of trees on a lot with horrible soil (gravel and clay).
We've been working on the landscaping, lawn and gardens. Rented a rototiller to put in garden beds, mixing in large quantities of compost that we got from our local compost project.
I was tilling a strip near the lake for the raspberry patch, pointed downhill toward the lake, when the blades of the tiller caught on a large stone and the machine hurled itself over the seawall and into the lake (only a couple of feet deep at the time).
After we all stopped laughing our asses off, the neighbor and his kids helped me haul it ashore.
I debated whether or not to tell the rental shop what had happened, but decided honesty was the best policy. They didn't charge me anything extra, nice people that they are.

May be you could help Elias.
Belgians claim that "French" fries are in fact Belgian, but definitive evidence for the origin has not been presented. Belgian historian Jo Gerard recounts that potatoes were already fried in 1680 in the Spanish Netherlands, in the area of "the Meuse valley between Dinant and Ličge, Belgium. The poor inhabitants of this region allegedly had the custom of accompanying their meals with small fried fish, but when the river was frozen and they were unable to fish, they cut potatoes lengthwise and fried them in oil to accompany their meals."
The Dutch concur with a Southern Netherlandish or Belgian origin when referring to Vlaamse frieten ('Flemish fries'). In 1857, the newspaper Courrier de Verviers devotes an article to Fritz (assumed pun with 'frites'), a Belgian entrepreneur selling French fries at fairs, calling them "le roi des pommes de terre frites". In 1862, a stall selling French fried potatoes (see frietkot) called "Max en Fritz" was established near Het Steen in Antwerp.
A Belgian legend claims that the term "French" was introduced when British or American soldiers arrived in Belgium during World War I, and consequently tasted Belgian fries. They supposedly called them "French", as it was the official language of the Belgian Army at that time. But the term "French fried potatoes" had been in use in America long before the Great War.

My cleaning advice is to throw crap out that can't be given away. The more crap you have, the harder it is to clean around it.
I believe in the 12 month rule. If you haven't used it in a year, somebody else can use it.
trifecta, I am close to that point. I think the former owners just put this carpet in immediately prior to selling the house to make the sale. No human or animal can walk across it without getting it dirty.
I want a Honda Ruckus.
I'll call it Uncle Ruckus.
NTodd, you gave Sinf an inferiority complex, no doubt.
This house had pink carpet everywhere.
Echidne, did you clean behind the ligh switch plates on a weekly basis?
I'll call it Uncle Ruckus.
I love it when he sings "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" and tells those stories about Brer Rabbit...
Yea, the little one.
Is it illegal to ride a 250? I thought they just couldn't be imported any longer.
i have to model my entire psychology from now on on one of my favourite tv british detectives who is amused yet observant and quietly deliberate.
this will help me clean more.

Neither -- Honda just doesn't ship 'em here, anymore. They pared back to like 4 scooters for the U.S. this year. They make a couple dozen. 
50cc is generally the line where states start to require a special motorcycle endorsement requirement and/or other preconditions to ride, legally. In TN, a 50cc is a "motorized bicycle," and requires only a regular "D" endorsement, and a DOT-approved helmet. No tags, insurance or registration. Anything above requires more.

It's the story of an idealistic conservative who has been bombarded with New Conservative ideology (workers are parasites; they deserve NOTHING; they ought to pay to work for you; rip them off, it's your right - hell, it's your DUTY)."
No, there were no "greedy investors" or conservatives who thought workers were "parasites" who deserve "NOTHING" _before Bill Clinton_!
No, never in history.
This is the kind of liberal claptrap that prevents real change by conjuring a distinction between liberal-minded capitalism, and conservative-minded capitalism. They're both exploiting the world for their greed, and accepting this narrow-minded interpretation only perpetuates it.
Reject it.

Police: Texas man trying to cash $360 billion check arrested
The 21-year-old North Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash a $360 billion check, saying he wanted to start a record business, authorities said. Tellers at the Fort Worth bank were immediately suspicious — perhaps the 10 zeros on a personal check tipped them off, according to investigators.

Elias -- Of course they existed before Clinton, but when my dad was explain his business to me in the 60s (he was a corporate pres at the time), he said a net profit much over 8-9% meant you were doing something wrong, not making long-term capital improvements, cutting quality, whatever, and investors would look askance at that. Granted, things were changing even then, but return on investment were more, well, conservative, then.

I truly appreciate that your dad was a decent guy, but good people in a corrupt system will never change the nature of it. I'm sorry. It just isn't gonna happen.
We've got to democratize the economic system. Notice I'm not saying "Socialism" or "communism." We must stress democracy, because that's what will register with people the most, not as a gimmick, but because that's the only thing that will save us.
The elites admit by their very words that our country isn't democratic. Every time you hear them describe our system it's always, "Democratic AND free-market."
If our system was truly a democracy, why the need for "and?"
It's self-evident.

The funniest case like that were those bank robbers who bought paper masks and forgot to stamp out the eye holes in the masks.

I particularly enjoyed the guys driving around Orlando in a stolen rental truck making crack in the back.
SMRT!

Oh, look, Kitty on has the three biggest douchebags in politically reporting.

So what are the democrats doing about the economy and price of gas?Will the Pelosi/Reid dream team allow drilling? Will they reduce regulations on new refineries? How about a few nuke plants?
Nope. Instead, they ban the light bulb. Brilliant! (What a legacy - eh?)
Meanwhile, Barry and Hillary can't decide what to do about the gas tax.

While I suspect you oversimply and can't link to anything, it's actually not a bad idea. Complaints about the "quality" of light aside, CFLs make a hell of a lot of sense compared to the venerable incandescent.
But it's funny that you want to loosen restrictions that protect us, and build more nukes, which will of course take years to complete and have impact...
Scrubs:
After an operation on my blown-out shoulder a few years back (volleyball injury #1), I was slow in waking up from surgery. My first waking sensation as of my hand being grasped and press against something warm, soft, yet firm.
Opened my eyes and saw the recovery room nurse (gorgeous, 20's) leaning over my bed pressing my hand to her breast. V-neck scrubs and lack of bra afforded a full view of other breast.
Did not progress further, hence no letter to Penthouse.

I'm still puzzled as to what building more nukes will do to help the price of gas. Did we all get Mr Fusions for our Deloreans?

Never went back. Awful.

Teacher fired for refusing to sign loyalty oath
Mark Boster / Los Angeles Times
Cal State system ousts another instructor who objects on religious grounds to a pledge adopted by California in 1952 to root out communists.
By Richard C. Paddock, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
May 2, 2008
When Wendy Gonaver was offered a job teaching American studies at Cal State Fullerton this academic year, she was pleased to be headed back to the classroom to talk about one of her favorite themes: protecting constitutional freedoms.
But the day before class was scheduled to begin, her appointment as a lecturer abruptly ended over just the kind of issue that might have figured in her course. She lost the job because she did not sign a loyalty oath swearing to "defend" the U.S. and California constitutions "against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
The loyalty oath was added to the state Constitution by voters in 1952 to root out communists in public jobs. Now, 16 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, its main effect is to weed out religious believers, particularly Quakers and Jehovah's Witnesses.
As a Quaker from Pennsylvania and a lifelong pacifist, Gonaver objected to the California oath as an infringement of her rights of free speech and religious freedom. She offered to sign the pledge if she could attach a brief statement expressing her views, a practice allowed by other state institutions. But Cal State Fullerton rejected her statement and insisted that she sign the oath if she wanted the job.
"I wanted it on record that I am a pacifist," said Gonaver, 38. "I was really upset. I didn't expect to be fired. I was so shocked that I had to do this."
California State University officials say they were simply following the law and did not discriminate against Gonaver because all employees are required to sign the oath. Clara Potes-Fellow, a Cal State spokeswoman, said the university does not permit employees to submit personal statements with the oath.
Did he stop?
"This economy is going to come on. I'm confident it will."
"We're turning the corner."
Moron.

my cousin Waltraud was in a crowded Paris metro car at rush hour when a guy pressed up against her. he had an erection and of course, she could feel it.
she wound up and slapped him in the face.
the whole metro car started to laugh because everyone knew exactly what happened.

you're really a masochist, aren't you?
"Well, I see it's time for "Cut-n-Paste Friday" over at Orange Satan.

It's a living.
Did he stop?
Yes, though he said that it had all been an accident. The impression I got was that they were told to do it, honestly. I may have been totally wrong about that, but it looked sort of choreographed.
That Ovaltine bit is comedy gold!
$50k a year...
I thought it was a one-time thing.
you're really a masochist, aren't you?
Nah, not really. I'm just amazed at how easy it would be to bilk people if you really wanted to (and let me point out, Mr. Swoosh-Gong is most definitely NOT bilking anyone. The Kossacks threw the money at him, unasked. All he did was pick it up)...
Oh crap. I had a gynecologist who did that to my knee. After he, um, examined me.
One of our local orthopedists who specializes in sports injuries was recently suspended for such behavior with HS girls with leg & knee injuries.
Looks like he'll lose his license, as he damn well should.

kossacks were bilked?
fokowi, Dan Carlin's Hard Core History podcast just did a great episode on the Lakotas. What an amazing people they are!
An Apache scout bet a U.S. Army general that the general couldn't find him even though the scout would be hiding within a 10 m radius of the general in the desert. The general agreed to the challenge, and closed his eyes for a short time while the scout hid.
The general couldn't find the scout. It turns out that the scout had buried himself in the sand.
That's too much, Echidne. Kinda reminds me of that old movie, where the hairdresser flips her head upside down to dry it and more or less puts her face in his groin.
the gas tax story in indiana is an iq test for the electorate or perhaps a messaging test for obamas media people.

a few years ago i found the most perfect bird point (unearthly hot pink colored) that was about an inch long. the person that shaped it had to be an artist. even the experts i've shown it to can't 'splain it.
a mind can go on fire after finding something like that...

thanx for pointing out why echidnes' response resonated so deeply with me.
of course i'm just joking...
and yet, in jungs' collective unconscious...
Not Zap and Troy! :swoons:

I really have a hard time wrapping my head around that. I'd be happy to raise a grand a month.
aren't you supposed to be watching a hockey match or something?
No, kossacks are bilked.
TCB has nothing. Just nothing.
I suppose I should get ready. We're going over to some friends' house to do the pre-Cinco de Mayo thing. Viva District del Sol!!
Johnny realizes the lie that his life has become.
No, kossacks are bilked.
It was voluntary giving, so that depends on how you define bilking. But the guy certainly has one of the highest payments per word written among all bloggers and even among journalists.

No, I specifically said they weren't. Mr. Swoosh-Gong didn't solicit the job or the money. Once offered, why would he turn it down? I wouldn't!
