Protesting Earthquakes

Protesting earth quakes

Protesting The Japan Earthquake! JFC! You can I'll venture find this same bimbo displaying her wretched body at G8, PeTA, Code Pink, and Obama for president rallies.  I've long suspected that most are exhibitionists, or whores trying to pick up a "date."  But protesting a freaking earthquake?  Did I say brainless as well? Not braless; brainless!

A GLOWING REPORT ON RADIATION

A GLOWING REPORT ON RADIATION Nurse, It Hurts

With the terrible earthquake and resulting tsunami that have devastated Japan, the only good news is that anyone exposed to excess radiation from the nuclear power plants is now probably much less likely to get cancer. This only seems counterintuitive because of media hysteria for the past 20 years trying to convince Americans that radiation at any dose is bad. There is, however, burgeoning evidence that excess radiation operates as a sort of cancer vaccine. As The New York Times science section reported in 2001, an increasing number of scientists believe that at some level -- much higher than the minimums set by the U.S. government -- radiation is good for you. "They theorize," the Times said, that "these doses protect against cancer by activating cells' natural defense mechanisms." [A GLOWING REPORT ON RADIATION]

Cayce and ratbastard gummint and Acid man

Too Much Fasten your seat belt

This is the setup to something Don M sent me that I'll get to presently.  Last week, you may remember, Drudge had this link: Lost city of Atlantis, swamped by tsunami, may be found... ^    That triggered in me "Edgar Cayce" .  I first became aware of Cayce while I was dating this very hot college chick (now the mother of my children) who was surprised I'd not heard of him.  She told me they studied him in class, and the Edgar Cayce Institute was just down the road from my favorite watering hole (The Surf Rider) in Virginia Beach.  Intrigued, and knowing the value of showing interest in what my girlfriend likes, I started buying and reading Cayce books.  Whoa!  He was perhaps best know for his (extremely well  documented)  ability to diagnose disease in people while in a trance.  But when I dropped by the Cayce Institute, the attendant told me that 90% of researchers who showed up were geologists, or men of science.  They were drawn by his uncanny predictions, one of which was the existence of a fault line running through New York (since discovered) and extending down the east coast.  Virginia Beach, he predicted, was the safest place to live on the Atlantic coast, and would one day be the nations only major seaport.  (And yes, California will fall into the sea) Atlantis, of which I knew nothing about at the time, also fascinated me.  According to him, Atlantians had a deep understanding of the universe,  but abused that knowledge and, in a cataclysmic event, disappeared under the sea about 10,000 years ago. That time-line held  profound implications for me, if true.  So, what's this all about?  This.  From Don M.  We've  passed the last turnoff.  If this Earth was my Sim City project, I'd sink the whole damned thing and start over. And someone will do just that pretty damned soon.  No, the earth will not end.  It will end as we know it. Like it did for Atlantians. The Camel's Straw In the meanwhile, God help us.  I feel unrestrained about posting any damned thing I feel like.  I'll either have 1 million hits/day, or 10.  This, though, may change in the morning. You know what I just thought of?  I thought of? Acid Man naked.  The man had class.

IE TAB Tool

I can't see said the sighted man

Aside from JMcD, I've had three other people report that their comments were not showing up; and others who can't see certain graphics or videos.  I just had that happen with a You Tube video.  The page opened, but there were no controls to show it.  I am using Firefox/3.6.15.  I right-clicked "View in IE Tab," and everything was there.  So, my guess is that the recent Firefox revision is very flawed.  So, use IE, or if you want to stay with Firefox, install IE Tab, which is actually the best of both worlds.  You use IE's  Direct-X bones with Firefox's skin, whenever it suits you. (I think I have that right?) Carry on. Smokem if you have'm.

Obama Outrage # 826

Fed instructs teachers to ‘Facebook creep’ students

But first -- a Flashback “   There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov ”

That was Obama famously asking people to turn in their neighbors, parents, and friends who don't tow the government line.  After the furor reached the alphabet network news, it was quickly withdrawn, and diasavowed.  Of course the people responsible remained at the switch, birth certificate, or no .... . Ahem.  So, this latest heavy fisted initiative, where the administration demands that teachers monitor their students after school social networking, is -- OMG, I want to say "ho-hum."  OMFG, "It couldn't happen here" is become "yawn?" Stab me in the freaking liver! “   Education Department officials are threatening school principals with lawsuits if they fail to monitor and curb students’ lunchtime chat and evening Facebook time for expressing ideas and words that are deemed by Washington special-interest groups to be harassment of some students. There has only been muted opposition to this far-reaching policy among the professionals and advocates in the education sector, most of whom are heavily reliant on funding and support from top-level education officials.

First Amendment, First Ashedmint

The traveling  "O.J. jury" lands in Minneapolis

A blogger named John Hoff, a.k.a. "Johnny Northside," wrote a scathing blog post about Jerry Moore He correctly cited Moore's involvement in a high-profile mortgage fraud The University of Minnesota, who had recently hired Moore, fired him the next day. Moore sues Hoff. His lawyer shyster claims "emotional distress"  due to "tortious interference" with employment. Did I say Moore was involved in mortgage fraud? The 7 member jury awarded the "community leader" $60,000. Did I say Moore actually, really was involved in mortgage fraud?

“ Jane Hartley's, a U of M professor of media law and ethics, called the lawsuit an example of "trash torts," in which someone unable to sue for libel, which by definition involves falsity, reaches for another legal claim. She predicted the verdict will be overturned. The verdict also surprised U of M law professor William McGeveran, but he wasn't so certain that it will be easily overturned. Appeals courts tend to give a lot of credence to jury verdicts, he said. Blogger Has To Pay In Libel Case... Despite Telling The Truth Jury: Blogger Johnny Northside must pay $60,000 to fired community leader I think it fair to say that the judge was a total asshat too.

Anti-Shyster Software

Armies of Expensive Lawyers, Replaced by Cheaper Software “   When five television studios became entangled in a Justice Department antitrust lawsuit against CBS, the cost was immense. As part of the obscure task of “discovery” — providing documents relevant to a lawsuit — the studios examined six million documents at a cost of more than $2.2 million, much of it to pay for a platoon of lawyers and paralegals who worked for months at high hourly rates. ”

I have for years represented (pro bono) the rights of American entrepreneurs against the the Tort Law machine.  And I'm not the only one who recognizes the incalculable damage that band of brigands have done to American business, and the national spirit.  So bad is their reputation that, like Liberals rebranding themselves Progressives, or ACORN to AHCA ( Affordable Housing Centers of America), the ATLA was forced to change their name to  American Association for Justice - or "AAJ"  (”Just Don’t Call Them the Suers”).  But I digress. “   But that was in 1978. Now, thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, “e-discovery” software can analyze documents in a fraction of the time for a fraction of the cost. In January, for example, Blackstone Discovery of Palo Alto, Calif., helped analyze 1.5 million documents for less than $100,000. ” Verily, many victims of what I choose to call "Television Shysters" choose to settle rather than incur the enormous expense of defending.  Software like this may induce more of them to fight the menace.  But wait, there's even more. “ Some programs go beyond just finding documents with relevant terms at computer speeds. They can extract relevant concepts — as lawyer John Edwardian discovered.  His computer (H.A.L) evidently recognized the true nature of Mr. Edwardian's lawsuits, and took umbrage with his greed.  Interacting with the Giant Food pharmacy computer where the lawyer had his prescriptions filled, HAL arranged to substitute Edwardian's next Thorazine prescription with cyanide.  The cause of death was only discovered after the family arranged for a private autopsy.  ” What?  You think I made that up?  See for yourself. Aside: Lest there be confusion, I recognize that many lawyers are honest, decent, and hard working citizens of high repute.  Among them, lawyers in my family, my lawyers, my friends who are lawyers, and the Barn Army's Advocate Corporal, Chuck Martel.

We in trouble; you sit on yer ass

We are in trouble...

The population of this country is 300 million. 160 million are retired. That leaves 140 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school. Which leaves 55 million to do the work. Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government. Leaving 20 million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden. Which leaves 17.2 million to do the work. Take from that total the 15.8 million people who work for state and city Governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work. At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals. Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work. Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And there you are, sitting on your ass, at your computer, reading jokes. Nice. Real nice. mary

Northwestern University Shame

What's the Worry What's the Fuss

Northwestern University. Bill Ayers and wife Bernardine Dohrn Whom together  as part of Weather Underground's assault on the United States  murdered Brian V. McDonnell, a sergeant with the San Francisco Police Department in 1970. Dohrn is an associate law professor at Northwestern. Shameful.   Northwestern University.  With a student body loaded with privileged trust babies, they famously mock other Big Ten teams who are pounding them on the athletic fields: What's the Worry? What's the Fuss? In Four More Years You'll Be Working for Us Add to that legacy this: Sex Toy Demonstration in College Class Causes Controversy “   A class taught by Professor John Michael Bailey of Northwestern University caused some amount of controversy after he used a live model to demonstrate the use of a sex toy called the “Fucksaw.” The 600-person course is one of the largest classes taught at the university, although only 120 students attended this particular class. Professor Bailey defended his demonstration of the device, arguing that teaching students about sexual diversity, including the use of extreme sex toys like the “fucksaw” was a necessary part of their education on human sexuality, almost implying that they couldn’t simply research these topics on their own via the internet. ” Our Dicks are Little Our Balls Quite Small We Pleaure Our Women With A Special Sawzall

Stinking Bubbles

There’s a bubble in talk about bubbles

“   There may or may not be a bubble in Internet startup valuations. But one thing in which there is definitely a bubble is in talk by journalists, investors and anyone else looking to raise their online profile through constant punditry about bubbles. A recent Google News keyword search for instances of “Internet” and “bubble” unearthed 960 links. Facebook, Twitter and Zynga are bubbles, said one. Is Yelp: the dot com bubble part deux? asked another. One more asked: Is Twitter the harbinger of the second bubble? ” I have very bad memories about them stinking bubbles.  Sigh.

Trump says Michael Moore a communist

Documentation, observers say Trump ‘communist’ accusation against Michael Moore not too far off Duh

“   Evidence shows Moore has a long history of pro-communist sympathies dating back to at least 1986 when he was fired from Mother Jones magazine for refusing to publish an article by Paul Berman that was critical of the communist Sandinistas’ human rights record. ”

“ Moore even expressed admiration for Castro in his 1997 book “Downsize This.” The filmmaker also spoke at the 1998 Socialist Scholars Conference at the City University of New York, which was sponsored by the university’s chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. The theme of the conference that year was “One Hundred and Fifty Years After The Communist Manifesto.” An October 2002 capture of Moore’s website from Archive.org shows him recommending links to the Democratic Socialists of America and Solidarity: A Socialist Feminist Organization. “Michael Moore is a communist Leninist, Stalinist,” political commentator and former leftist David Horowitz told The Daily Caller, noting the Mother Jones Sandinista episode. But Horowitz’s colleague and fellow former communist-turned-conservative activist Ron Radosh disagrees with Horowitz’s description of Moore as a “communist”, saying the filmmaker is more of a garden variety ‘60s neo-Marxist radical than a Marxist-Leninist in the mold of the Communist Party USA. “He is anti-American, pro any activism, and a demagogue,” Radosh told TheDC. “CPrs [communist party members] were shrewder and more ideological, adhering to a line. Moore knows nothing about Marxism and couldn’t care less about it. “I would call him a far-left extremist and radical, who follows the most extreme trajectory of the 60’s New Left.” [links] ” Wow, that bio could fit any number of Obama cabinet ministers.

Vexations

Morning Announcements & Roll Call

Since I never bother you with my own computer prollems, preferring instead to suffer in silence (ahem) , I didn't tell you that MoSup's computer crashed last week and I spent all weekend reconstructing her non-backed up system, which job to back-up was mine.  Everything running smoothly except I cannot get her Verizon e-mail to send (it receives) using Thunderbird and I just spent all morning working on that without success instead of rabble rousing against Obamunists or otherwise being useful.  Just so you know. On the subject of stuff not working - Jamie McD is at wits end because he can't post comments on this site.  It would not be unreasonable for him to conclude that I had for some reason blocked him, and he did wonder that, but in 9 years of C&S I have blocked just one person.  Yoeman Commodore JMcD is a valued Barn Army friend, and I continue to search for reasons.  Unless of course ... wait.  Maybe JMcD was captured on his last mission (to find e-Claire went missing while looking for Linda SOG) and this is a Taliban trick to get Barn Army information.  JMcD - answer if you can.  If  you're being held captive say something like "mmrnpoohhh".

Bacon wrapped matzo ball

Can't We All Just Get Along?

“ At his restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, Top Chef Ilan Hall is wrapping a piece of bacon around a traditional matzo ball. "It's a pretty simple recipe, except in place of vegetable oil, we use either rendered bacon fat or lard," he tells Weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz. "The pork fat makes it incredibly fluffy."   ” “   Bacon-Wrapped Matzo Balls by NPR Staff 18 eggs 5 cups matzo meal 3/4 cup of sparkling water 3/4 cup of lard 1 1/2 tablespoons of baking powder 5 tablespoons of salt A handfull of dill Blend eggs, dill, water, melted lard, baking powder and salt for 5 seconds, then mix in bowl with matzo meal. Allow to sit in refrigerator for 30 minutes, then roll small balls and add to boiling water. Then wrap in a half-slice of applewood-smoked bacon. Roast in oven at 400 degrees until crispy.

Black Racist MFCS

Quanell the 10th for the defense

“   CLEVELAND, Texas - Racial divisions have surfaced in the town of Cleveland, 40 miles north of Houston, ever since last Thanksgiving's alleged gang rape of an 11-year old Hispanic girl. Most (if not all) of the 17 suspects accused of sexually assaulting the 11-year  old child are black. And on Thursday night, community activist Quanell X hosted a rally there. ” Armed as they are with superior moral rectitude and importance of purpose, Liberals, when caught in the act, will easily defend themselves by citing someone else.  A fine example is when candidate Bill Clinton's whore mongering and serial adultery became an issue, and was responded to by Libs trotting out (mostly dubious) claims that Jefferson, FDR, and IKE were no batter (or just as good?).  Having been raised on the Liberal plantation, then,  Mr. Quanell  X, leader of the New Black Panther Party in Houston ,  showed adeptness in the skill. “   "She lives in another community," Quanell X told the gathering. "You mean to tell me the only men that had sex with that girl were black men, locked up in that jail?" Racial divisions have surfaced? No, stark, blatant black racism is what it's called.

Chernobyl sounds scary

“Three Mile Island” and “Chernobyl” sounds scary, right?

“ There is no question that the events in Japan are ongoing and serious. That said, I believe a lot of people are being misled by much of the news coverage.  Take a look at these headlines from the Christian Science Monitor and from Channel News Asia - US experts fear 'Chernobyl-like' crisis for Japan “Three Mile Island” and “Chernobyl” sounds scary, right? Let me ask a couple of questions?  How many were killed by the Three Mile Island incident? 100? 10,000? 100,000? Answer here ” via Nuclear power perspective. by James Watts Some of the comments : “ Compare those figures with the deaths from renewables. in one incident alone over 170,000 died in China when the Banqiao hydroelectric dam failed. Greenpeace et al never ever mention this of course. UNSCEAR says 4,000 deaths attributable to Chernobyl whereas Greenpeace says 100,000 (but they would, wouldn't they?) ...  it looks like the Japanese reactor now has no secondary containment (and it was not a secondary concrete pressure vessel as at TMI) but as in the UK, a simple corrugated iron building on a steel frame.   ...

Ondskan

EVIL

Evil Ondskan (2003) NR Adapted from a best-selling novel, this Swedish drama follows rebellious teenager Erik (Andreas Wilson) as he's expelled from high school for fighting and sent to the prestigious Stjärsnberg Academy. Having endured many beatings from his father, Erik is dismayed to face a similar threat from the academy's senior students, who bully the younger ones mercilessly. But this time, Erik is determined not to crack and lash out in violence. Genre:     Foreign Dramas, Scandinavia, Swedish Language This movie is: Violent (fist fighting) I was looking for an embeddable clip from he movie EVIL, and landed on Amazon.  Started playing the clip, and it went on and on ... and horry clap.  It was the whole film - free to Amazon Prime, or $4.99 for 2 day rental.  (Here's a 60 second trailer)  I watched it last night on NetFlix /ROKU.  Of course I really liked it, else we wouldn't be doing this. Swedish/subtitled, it was not at all what I expected after watching the first five minutes. Think Tom Brown's School Days, complete with a Harry Flashman bully.  Do kids read Tom Brown anymore?  What started out looking like another mad-at-the-world juvenile delinquent movie turned out to be an uplifting Good v. Evil  piece. Violent?  Fist fights and hazing like West Point and Annapolis kids experienced before  those institutions went co-ed.  Your wives and girlfriends will prolly like this film, as long as they're not watching in the same room. PS - Jake, if you're here, this movie is your biography.  You are Eric.
