Woot Back-up

Woot! Stuff




Woot


Check google shopping - everyone and their mother has this exact item, brand new, for considerably less. Woot has gone downhill since Amazon took over - this is but another example. (YES)

On the fence ... apparently it doesn't do system backups - only data files ... hmmm ... but amazon, cnet, and pcworld all gave raves. And the price is definitely good. Hmmm ...


These are great for people who aren't very good with computers but need a backup solution for their files. I got one for my dad and all he has to do is plug it into his laptop and it backs everything up automatically. It searches out and finds data files and you can also add folders manually that you want it to keep backed up.

This is probably not a good solution for someone who can setup their own backup on a standard external drive, knows what a NAS is, or is just looking for external storage.

Can't comment on the price however.

The Evening Buffet

Chart of the Day: 'Buffett Rule'


So how much would the so-called Buffett Rule bring in? It's hard to say, because Obama didn't define precisely how it would work. But he did say it would create a tax rate floor for those who make more than $1 million per year. So let's use 2009 tax return data from the IRS to imagine some possible scenarios for how much additional tax revenue the new tax could bring in. Here's a chart:

The Buffett Rule

Am I wrong?  It seems this is first time I read something in the ATLANTIC that made sense.   If you follow this debate, I would bet money that someone will argue "Look, maybe taxing the rich at 100% only generates $450B, but that's enough to start funding schools at proper levels."   And next year it might generate what? $3?


McGinnis Head First into the Crapper

Pummeling Palin with trash talk


...  Sarah smoked pot. Sarah snorted coke off an oil drum. Sarah bedded a black athlete. Sarah slept with Todd's business partner. And oh yeah, she's not Trigg's mom. You get the picture. No bathroom stall in Alaska was left undisturbed in his quest for dirt.

What you won't find are footnotes or endnotes sourcing all his trash talk. Instead, the acknowledgments conveniently state: "There are others, both in Alaska and elsewhere, whom I'd like to thank, but so many of them - for fear of harassment by supporters of Sarah Palin - have asked me not to mention them by name. . . ."


My Reverie
My Reverie                               


  My brain-flash just now is  that Sarah  postponed any presidential announcement  because she knew this book was purpose published,  and didn't want to let the media hijack her message with questions about this crap.  Damn smart thing to do actually. 

Read the rest of this article and get the backstory on McGinniss's unsourced and twisted allegation that Sarah left the University of Hawaii after three weeks because there were too many "people of color."  Which phrase hadn't been coined at the time.  (Short answer—  she's 18, away from her small home town and family for the first time, and finds herself in a foreign culture. We'd called it homesick. ).

I've heard people remark that they sure wish Todd would shoot that sumbitch McGinniss (maybe the voices in my head?), but he won't because he's smart, and in control.  You know who would have had him killed though (if he had actually loved Hillary) ... ?

NO.

Recently, these sources informed him that the earthquakes that occurred in Colorado and the Washington DC area, surrounding August 22nd and 23rd, were, in fact, apparently nuclear strikes against underground military facilities.
 
[These underground bases] have been built by the US government, ostensibly since the early 1960s, at the cost of trillions of dollars of undocumented taxpayer money that is going into these “black projects.

How They Think

Can the myth of “certainty” be far behind?
HUH?



False Premises
Can the myth of “certainty” be far behind?


Employers don’t create jobs, customers do. This week, business owners themselves exploded the myth that they are the job creators.

Previously we’d offered the argument that businesses don’t create jobs. “Customers are the engine of capitalism and of jobs,” we wrote. “Employees are hired when a willing buyer shows up at the door. Jobs are not created for any other reason.” Now business owners have weighed in to provide corroboration.

Reporting this week in the New York Times, Mokoto Rich interviewed Jeffery Braverman, owner of Nutsonline, in Cranford, N.J.. Even a $4,000 tax cut would not cause him to hire anyone. “You still need to have the business need to hire,” says Braverman. “Business demand is what drives hiring.” [blah-blah-blah]



The debunked myth (I stumbled upon), according to the Jimmy Zuma dude,  is that "Employers create jobs"

 Zuma's actual goal here is to defend Obama's crappy Jobs Bill.  To buttress the Democrat's mythical claim  of being able to create jobs (by stealing money and giving it to Solyndra).   This government has certainly destroyed millions of jobs—   with walls of anti-business taxes and regulations, but it has never created a single sustainable  private sector job.  Just like the Soviet Union never did. 

And oh!—   it's certainly true that in a land where nobody has any money, there are no customers,  but that's  a different problem; albeit  from the same source.  Any good entrepreneur will however get around that, and create new  wealth, but only if democrats stay the hell out of their way.  That's not a myth.

THIS JUST IN
False Premises
OMFG!  We'll be rolling in money now!!


So let's impeach the sumbitch

Obama tears up the Constitution
The scope of his lawless disregard expands by the day

Exercise Yard, Raila Odinga Prinson, Kenya.
2013 - Exercise Yard, Raila Odinga Prinson, Kenya.


The Constitution of the United States, whose adoption we celebrate every Sept. 17, clearly lists the powers of each branch of the national government. Let’s take a look at what Barack Obama, like any president, is empowered to do and see if it squares with his actions. In Article II, Section 1, he is sworn to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Section 2 names the president as commander in chief of the armed forces, grants him the power to make treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate and to appoint ambassadors, federal judges, Cabinet officials and other federal officers. Section 3 says the president “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

In his two years and nine months in office, President Obama has compiled a spectacular record of noncompliance with the Constitution. Here are just some of the ways his administration has failed to execute the laws while using raw, unauthorized power:



Obama could without question be impeached by the House if the political will existed.  It doesn't for a few reasons, not the least of which is the Democrat controlled Senate would never vote to remove him (nor would half the Republicans).  Which is a shame because Obama deserves being removed from office, the sooner the better.

This list presented by the ass-hat left as justification for impeaching Bush  establishes the bar.

Anyway, I will add this article to my Sack of Stuff (Defining Articles) that are kept in the cellar,  for readers who want to reference it in the future.

BTW, Knight does not present a comprehensive list here, but his are fine, and recent additions to others already presented. 

The Reasons


Rahm Emanuel is a f'n - you know ...

Today's Alternative Truth



Chicago mayor and former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said he doesn’t recall anything about the Obama administration’s $535 million loan to the recently bankrupt solar company Solyndra.

Rahm's Crap Is Flying

  1. Subpoena him to testify before a House committee
  2. Put him under oath
  3. Ask him if he remembers now
  4. Indict him in January, 2013

EMERGING LAW

When people are taped in secret, become unknowingly famous, and then are the subject of a documentary, do they have any rights to the story? That’s the process that led to the film Shut Up Little Man. (NSFW text)

Thru Thin Walls

In 1987, two aspiring Bohemians who met at the University of Wisconsin, Mitch Deprey and Eddie Guerriero — soon to be immortalized as “Mitchell D and Eddie Lee Sausage” — left the Midwest for San Francisco, where they moved into a funky apartment on Steiner and Waller in the Lower Haight. Thanks to thin walls and alcohol, they discovered that their new next-door neighbors were Raymond, a virulent homophobe in love with the word “cocksucker,” and Peter, a bitchy queen prone to rejoinders of “SHUT UP, LITTLE MAN!”, both of them sad alcoholics inexplicably sharing a one-room apartment. Their vulgar, late-night scream fights (and occasionally, fistfights) were so entertaining that Mitch and Eddie started recording them, sharing the tapes with friends ... . [Full]

Kleaver - "If we weren't racist, we'd be pissed"

Today's Quote From Alternative Americans
"If Obama wasn't president, we would be ‘marching on the White House’" - CBC Chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (No relation to the Beaver).


Unhappy members of the Congressional Black Caucus “probably would be marching on the White House” if Obama were not president, according to CBC Chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.).

CBC KLAN"If [former President] Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House ... There is a less-volatile reaction in the Congressional Black Caucus because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president."

Aside from further demonstrating the Democrat leadership's inability to grasp the economic reality that gummint cannot create (non-government) jobs, Brother Kleaver confirms their putative stark racism.

A New novel Novel

Outline for my new thriller
Coming Soon



Story Outline


The working title is  "Happy Faces On A  Wet Derrière."  The story pretty much writes itself,  but I'm stuck,  as usual, on the same old thing.  Can the ingenue  play pinochle, and does she have a hare lip?  Or not.   This drives me crazy.

It looks like Pitt and Syracuse will bolt the Big East and join the ACC.  That makes a lot more sense than having Texas, but Pitt and WVU make more sense to me.  Given my druthers though ... Here's  what I want back —
