ROKU-Y ROAD AHEAD?

TECHNO THRILLS                       WATCH WHATEVER WHENEVER I am, as you know, a big fan of ROKU (we have 3 in use). This announcement of their newest unit, however, made me wonder—will Roku be in business two years from now?  My son just bought a new "Smart" television that streams stuff the way ROKU, X-BOX and other devices do.  ROKU have bundled together a wide range of product (like Amazon, HULU, etc), but that's only a convenience, not an asset.  Still, there is a definite trend. Cable, satellite companies are losing record numbers of subscribers.  Some of this "cord-cutting" is due to the economy, but others, "cord-frayers," are people who just want to take control of what they watch (which is almost certainly what our current government would also like to do). I could do without Cable TV altogether, but Mo Sup (Mother Superior) NEEDS it.  All this means nothing of course, since after Baby Kim Twat Sung, or some like-minded terrorist like Obama, hits us with EMP, or an Executive Order, we'll be reading the Sears catalog in the outhouse for entertainment.  And it'll be a damned old Sears catalog at that..

Hasselback Potatoes

HASSELBACK POTATOES The amazing thing is that a (T.V.) graduate of the C.I.A. (me) has gone this long without hearing about Hasselback potatoes.  I want to have a dinner party just to show off my inventiveness (that's how I do it).  Looks much easier than that damned Flowering Onion deal I spent money for the machine on but it never ever was like I got in the restaurant.  Plus, the other neat idea that I should have already invented was placing that potato (or anything else) between two cutting boards to keep from going all the way through,while making uniformly deep cuts.  You're welcome.

A Great Blizzard of Crap

GREEN CRAP The Great Blizzard of March, 2013 From the wonderful science that brought you Al Gore's Man Caused Global Cooling Warming science.  This is not the first time in recent years that local schools, and most " Gore told NBC's Katie Couric sea levels would rise 20 feet or more worldwide by 2010, the polar ice caps would melt and the U.S., Europe, Asia and Africa will become deserts if nothing is done. " meetings, functions, and activity were canceled a full day before an impending Mother of All Snow Storms.  Just the latest. It used to be us kids would huddle around the radio, listening for news that our school had be "closed."  Because we woke up that morning under a blanket of snow.  Not today.  Cancel early so we can sleep-in is the  current school closing Zeitgeist. But that's not what this is about.  It's another example of  how we are willing to cripple our already crippled economy,. and freedoms, because of man caused climate change warnings from the very people whose science can't  forecast nest day's weather.  Stop me if I've said this before.

A Police State's New Gun Law

Maryland's Nanny State: One regulation away from total bliss                                          The Police State                Maryland's Police State Poster Boy      That says all you need to know about what it's like to live in Maryland, a state that will now—  "require gun owners, as well as new purchasers of firearms, to get fingerprinted, take eight hours of classroom study, and pay for a more extensive background check. " That's right.  People who have managed to spend their whole lives without being subjected to having fingerprints taken by the police, will now be defacto perp-walked into the local constabulary to get inked.   Gov. Martinet O'Malley, who crafted this brainstorm,  is called the "White Obama," in these parts (something that he sees as approbation), and (I am not making this up) was recently ridiculed for affecting Obama's speech pattern.  And there's this.  Beretta, the world's largest gun manufacturers, has it's U.S. operations in The Free State.  Possession of its 9mm pistol, with its 13-bullet magazine, would be illegal under the Democrat-controlled General Assembly's new law.     Beretta USA executives have grown weary of the state’s attitude on guns and reportedly have backed up their threat by pointing out the company moved a warehouse to neighboring Virginia in 1990 when Maryland previously tightened gun laws. ...  now they are threatening to move the entire operation to Free Virginia.  If Beretta leaves,  Maryland's next largest private sector empoyer (11 employees) is Harry's Septic Tank Service. O'Malley, who  is ramping up for a 2016 White House run, has often referred to his success in reducing crime while he was mayor of Baltimore from 1999 to 2007, claiming that under his administration crime dropped by nearly 40 percent. The fact that he could never prove where that statistic came from, nor could anyone else, doesn't matter. By the By -Maryland's Senate passed the bill, and the House is expected to rubber stamp it this week.  During heaings last week, "Opponents of Gov. Martin O’Malley’s gun control plan outnumbered advocates 40-to-1 at a hearing many lawmakers called the longest they had ever seen."  We'll see.

Gungrabbers

“ Congressman @SteveStockmanUS Exposes Obama’s Anti-Gun Spambots Finally, at least one Republican is getting tech-savvy: President Obama’s gun control campaign is a fraud based on fake messages over Twitter. Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) accused Obama of trying to make support for his position look stronger than it really is by flooding Twitter with messages from people who don’t exist. . . . Stockman said that in response to Obama’s call for people to tweet their congressman in support of gun control legislation, he received just 16 tweets. But he said all of these messages were identical, and that a closer look at them revealed that only six were from real people. “The other 10 are fake, computer-generated spambots,” his office said in a press release. As evidence, he said these 10 tweets use default graphics and names, and have not engaged in any interaction with other people. Two of the tweets were sent at nearly the same time, and both follow just one person: Brad Schenck, Obama’s former digital strategist. A huge hat-tip to @DefendWallSt, who spotted the fake Twitter accounts on the #DemandAVote hashtag Saturday. Friends pointed it out to me, so I blogged about it, and apparently someone in Congressman Stockman’s office was actually paying attention. National Review reports that Republican Reps. Michael Grimm and Adam Kinzinger have also been “flooded” with messages from the Obama anti-gun spambot campaign. ” smibsid

Meet The Press

“

Last week an employee the North Chicago Police came up with a brochure that used offensive images. It included a mug shot of a bug-eyed black man, and another of comedian Dave Chappelle as a crack fiend. There were also photographs of overweight cops, Judge Judy, Barney Fife and Lindsay Lohan. The only thing missing was Honey Boo-Boo. The brochure was used in a presentation on trial procedures and a handout for participants in the new North Chicago Citizen Police Academy. [full]   I choked on my oatmeal when I saw that Sun Times page yesterday .  I apologize for my insensitivity.  But then I remembered that there would be just as much outrage if they'd used this picture of Trayvon Martin, and not the angelic 10 year old the media have used to portray this thug.  So screw em.

Gross Sequester Lies

During the Clinton Terror it soon dawned on me that no day went by without Slick telling a lie.  I even thought about documenting that and making a book out of it, but I couldn't be bothered.  Since Obama, not only has he lied every day, it would be hard to find one truth rolling over those blue lips.  I am like all of you worried, depressed, mad, and thinking sinful thoughts about him. I don't have tell you that Obama said over a year ago that he would veto any attempt to stop this sequester.  Nor do I have to tell you that not one penny has been taken from the current budget, and is in fact actually a limit on the growth of future budgets.  It doesn't matter.  Barack Obama is a terrorist, and terrorists can only be dealt with by the masses, one way or another.

Who's a Liar?

Whopper of the week NOT “ House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's claim about federal funding for seniors to play "World of Warcraft" turns out to be fantasy... blah blah blah. "While lawmakers have a right to question whether federal funding should go to studies involving video games, Cantor made a bold claim about "World of Warcraft" that is simply not supported by the facts." [Full] I don't like or trust Eric Cantor.   However.  Posting someone's nonfactual e-mail without fact-checking (something I've done more than once) does not make me a liar; it makes me careless with facts at times. So, the Washington Guardian is  wrong to  charge Cantor with  telling a lie in this case. But that's not what this is really about. The willy-nilly labeling as lies is a favorite device of the left.   When  President Bush announced that Saddam Hussein had WMD, and none were found after being trucked into Syria,  he was falsely labeled a LIAR by the anti-war left machine, including the the democrats in congress who dittoed Bush's charge.  When Bill Clinton said "I did not have sex ...), and almost anything else he has ever uttered, he was lying, and is therefore a liar*.  So there's that. The second reason to spank the Washington Guardian is this.  The Biggest Whopper last week (as it has been for virtually every week of his presidency) belongs to Barry Obama Soetoro.  WOODWARD: Obama fibs on budget cuts... ^ *I think lies must be premeditated, so people like Bill Clinton (sociopaths)—who actually believe their self-serving versions— may have some wiggle room.  His Monica lie was premeditated, and I think I became pretty good at decoding his facial tics and body language in other conscious lies.  He seemed to have given himself a pass on anything that was political, but could not do that with his personal life.   Sociopaths of course should never hold important stations in life, except maybe as foreman of the prison chain gang,  or the like. ”

The Daniel Project

At The Cinema                            The Daniel Project 2011 This has been hanging around NetFlix for awhile, but I wasn't much into watching yet another of the Bible end-time prophesies.  Not that I discount the possibility of their truth, but because I've seen so many of them already.  I accidentally clicked on it last night—if you watch the beginning you'll understand why I wasn't immediately alerted to what ticket I'd  just punched,  When I did, it was too late; I was hooked. This is quite different from anything you've seen along this line before.  I have only included the last 13 minute wrap-up in this clip (Hulu allows that bit of engineering). Since it's Bible prophesy being looked at, it's impossible of course to leave Judaism and Christianity out of it.  And Israel is central to Biblical prophesy.  What I hadn't put together before was how central. At one point, leading up to what Christians call the Anti-Christ, a world leader who will unify the world with the promise of making everything okay again,  it's noted that Islam is waiting for the Mahdi; Buddhist the 5th Buddha, and even hippies, who worship lines in the sand, have someone which name I forget. So there's room for everyone. I'm telling you this to maybe overcome a reluctance you may have to watch anything with religious overtones.  A blood curdling-for-me  moment is when Obama is shown prattling on about "what God  wants." Reading my mind, one of the commenters says, Obama was the first person to come to my mind, but since the (Anti-Christ) will be at first viewed as being full of wisdom and widely accepted; that's not possible.  Or to that effect. Another interesting point is the prophesy that all people will be marked on their head and right hand with the mark of the beast.  Not to have that mark means you die.  Chip implants, anyone?  But what set me back on my heels was this question.  The Bible specifically says the mark will be on the Right Hand.  To what group would this have special significance?   (Who wipes there arses with the left hand? )   You can watch it in fill on Hulu (with advertising interruptions every 10 minutes) or on Netflix.   For what it's worth.  If you were meant to watch it, you will.

BRAINER'S WALLANDER

At The Cinema                                        Wallander Revisited That's right, I did nothing today but watch a basketball game, a lacrosse game, and several episodes of SNOOPS and WALLANDER-the one with Kenneth Branagh.  Above— my new review of Wallander.      Except.        Branagh (properly pronounced "brainer") is such a fine actor that after three or four episodes he's won me over. Even with all the blackness that surrounds him, the scripts are good, the acting top notch, and it  beats hell out of the original Swedish language version (which I also watch).  Sorry for previous dissing.

Nature's Flu Shot

ORIGINALLY POSTED 10:04 AM, Feb 23, 2012 UPDATED:  I wasn't much into it at the time, but I did make this potion.  A quandary was what did "1 Bulb of Garlic" mean?  I'd never seen that before.  Did it mean to say clove of garlic?  In the spirit of Emeril Lagasse, I threw in an entire bulb (after skinning the various cloves).  What does it taste like?  If the measure of an effective medicine is foulness of taste, then this may also be a cure for cancer. Oddly though, a few minutes after swilling a glass, I fancied another. I didn't have the flu, just a wicked cold, but right now I'm feeling like some Sunday sex.  Alas. (Note to any of my chillens what may read this: Your mother is still virginal, and your father is but a mighty engine without the coal to drive it.)
