STUFF


THESE JUST IN ....


By this time in life my behavior is predictable.  I wait until the last minute, and enjoy the adrenaline rush of trying to complete a three month term paper in 24 hours.  Which is more or less what I've done with my current project, a video presentation that must be ready by tomorrow at 4PM.  So, I'm cracking on with it, but Tim W. sent me some news clips that tickled me, so I'm sharing.

Nippy


nip·py  (np)
adj. nip·pi·er, nip·pi·est
1.
Bitingly cold: a nippy fall day.

It came to me in a flash
 
Sometimes I have revelations about stuff.  Sometimes they're about important things, like how to remove inaccessible brain tumors.  Other times, like just now,  it's stuff that's not that consequential, but is in the interest of word etymology.  The origin and historical development of the word "nippy" wasn't known—until just now.  Now it is.

You're welcome.

Putin v Obummer


KULTURE - WHOM DO YOU ADMIRE MORE?
 
Res Ipsa Loquitor I've lately come across a  "conservative Americans admire Putin" meme (deliciously pictorialized HERE).



Didn't  read any of the articles, probably because I could see why without.   Let's be clear; Putin is at heart still a Communist KGB assassin who has rivals liquidated.  Still, he has leadership qualities that no Democrat politician in over 50 years have come close to exhibiting.   Although Obama similarly attempts to theoretically (and possibly in a real sense, ahem) "liquidate" anyone who threatens  him;  this is America, not Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. So,  if you don't by now fear and despise Obama, there's something terribly wrong with you.

By the by, I did look at The leftist Daily Beast's lede.  They reason that Putin's popularity amongst Americans is much simpler to understand:



"Thirty years ago, American conservatives declared Russia the enemy. But now that Putin has declared war on gays, the religious right is in full support of its freedom-limiting tactics. By James Kirchick."

More SEAL TEAM SIX STUFF






AHEM

Res Ipsa Loquitor

I was running about this morning,  making the rounds of various duty and doody stations while somewhat listening to WCBM in the background.  On air was a father of one of  the Seal Team 6 members killed in the the Chinook helicopter crash.  This is not a transcript, but excerpts from other sources that include some of what he claimed.  Stuff I wasn't aware of.

  [...] Shortly before the CH-47 Chinook helicopter took off on a rescue mission (operation Extortion 17), seven Afghan commandos who were on the passenger list were replaced by other Afghan military officials.

It remains unclear why the manifest was incorrect, raising red flags among the victims’ families. They have noted that their sons didn’t trust Afghan soldiers. One was quoted as saying, “They are loyal to the highest bidder.”

In the transcript related to the Pentagon’s probe, a Defense official confirmed that all seven names of the Afghan soldiers were incorrect.

The official said, “I cannot talk to the back story of why…” before being interrupted by another Department of Defense employee.

The Chinook was shot down by Afghan militants, and all 38 on board perished.  Among the dead were 30 Americans, including 22 Navy SEALS (some Seal Tem Six), seven Afghan soldiers and one Afghan translator. Their bodies were later recovered, but the helicopter’s black box was not. Pentagon officials have said that it could not be recovered, citing a flash flood that happened soon after the assault.

All the bodies were cremated. The Pentagon has defended the cremation to the soldiers’ families, saying the bodies were badly burned.

Chaffetz, however, said he has seen a photo of a deceased SEAL that was not.

“The body I saw didn’t need to be cremated,” Chaffetz said [full]


The dad further alleged that his and other Seal family homes had been "infiltrated," and family papers shuffled through.  He feels someone was looking for letters home that carried details of the bin-Laden raid.   In addition,  this was made possible because, in his words, "Eric Holder and Biden allowed the names and home addresses of Seal Team Six members to be made public."

It's impossible to confirm rumors that all but one of the Seals on the bin-Laden mission are now dead, but it has been confirmed that some of them were on this helicopter, and that "insurgents were boasting on the Internet they had taken out Team 6 shortly after the helicopter crashed.

This so closely parallels  the Benghazi team cover-up that my head is spinning.  There are not isolated incidents involving this Administration, which makes this sort of  rubbish bitterly outrageous.!

Viking Sword Technology


MANLY STUFF FOR MANLY MEN
Secrets of the Viking Sword


  The Vikings were among the fiercest warriors of all time. Yet only a select few carried the ultimate weapon of their era: the feared Ulfberht sword. Fashioned using a process that would remain unknown to the Vikings' rivals for centuries, the Ulfberht was a revolutionary high-tech tool as well as a work of art. Considered one of the greatest swords ever made, it remains a fearsome weapon more than a millennium after it last saw battle. But how did Viking sword makers design and build the Ulfberht, and what was its role in history? Now, NOVA uses cutting edge science and old-fashioned detective work to reconstruct the Ulfberht and finally unravel the "Secrets of the Viking Sword."

Manly men  give this Five Stars!

Now people are asking where did some $28.5 million go, but Fast Terry and GreenTech Automotive aren't talking.

Controversial Startup Could Kill Career Of Rising Dem Star...
Right.  Fake Indian, Massive Liar, and Real Moron Elizabeth Warren has firmly set the standard.
 


  •  Mr. Booker personally has obtained money for the start-up, called Waywire, from influential investors, including Eric E. Schmidt, Google’s executive chairman.
  • Mr. Booker revealed that his stake in the company was worth $1 million to $5 million. Taken together, his other assets were worth no more than $730,000.
  • That revelation, with just a week left in Mr. Booker’s campaign for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate, shows how a few tech moguls and entrepreneurs, many of them also campaign donors, not only made a financial bet on the mayor’s political future but also provided the brainpower and financing to help create a company that could make him very rich.
  • Waywire has also provided jobs for associates of Mr. Booker: the son of a top campaign supporter and his social media consultant, who is now on his Senate campaign staff.
Derail his political carreer?  LOL. If he gets the nomination, and he will, say hello to the next crooked US Senator from New Jersey. Fake Indian, Massive Liar, and Real Moron Elizabeth Warren has set the standard for DEMS (In states where they count ballots).

New Jersey's other Senator  Democrat Bob Memnedez has so many ethic investigations going on that Clinton Fatigue seems to set in. The ethics committee  hit Charles Rangel with a 13-count Statement of Alleged Violation after a nearly two-year probe into his finance (Gross Tax Evasion)..  H escaped.jail by giving up his Ways & Means Chair; an option only available to Democrats   Both the LA Times and Nevada newspapers have  exposed   Harry Reid's crime family (literally.  He's still skating. 



TABLOID


The Mormon Boy in Magic Underpants and the
Virgin Beauty Queen Who Gave Blowjobs Who
Kidnapped Him.  And Her Magical Booger.



  Tabloid (2010) is an American documentary film by Errol Morris. It tells the story of Joyce McKinney, a former Miss Wyoming, who in the 70s was accused of kidnapping and raping Kirk Anderson,  an American Mormon missionary. The incident, known as the Mormon sex in chains case, became a major tabloid story in Britain and triggered a circulation battle between two popular newspapers, The Daily Mirror and The Daily Express.

That thumbnail account from Wikipedia doesn't begin to describe the Joyce McKinney story.  Damnedest thing I've ever watched.  In the end I don't blame anybody;  not her Mormon boyfriend, not Joyce, not even the tabloids..  It's just way wacky, and fun.  Way. I watched it on NetFlix.

3D Printed Guns- HOW


  People have figured out how to print a semi-automatic rifle from the comfort of their own home. Now they’re putting all the information online so that others will join them.
This is a story about the rapid evolution of a technology that has forced the American legal system to play catch up. Cody Wilson, a 25 year old University of Texas Law student, is an advocate for the open source production of firearms using 3D printing technology.

This makes him a highly controversial figure on both sides of the gun control issue. Motherboard sat down with Cody in Austin, Texas to talk about the constitution, the legal system, and to watch him make and test-fire a 3D-printed gun.

‘Angel’ priest visits Missouri accident scene

Res Ipsa Loquitor

Courtesy of @mynameisLize

USA TODAY - Emergency workers and community members in eastern Missouri are not sure what to make of a mystery priest who showed up at a critical accident scene Sunday morning and whose prayer seemed to change life-threatening events for the positive.

Even odder, the black-garbed priest does not appear in any of the nearly 70 photos of the scene of the accident in which a 19-year-old girl almost died. No one knows the priest and he vanished without a word, said Raymond Reed, fire chief of New London, Mo.

“I think it’s a miracle,” Reed said. “I would say whether it was an angel that was sent to us in the form of a priest or a priest that became our angel, I don’t know. Either way, I’m good with it.”

Falsehood, like poison, will generally be rejected when administered alone; but when blended with wholesome ingredients, may be swallowed unperceived —Richard Whately

Dear Friend,

Almost 12 years ago when our government was beating the drums of war, we declared CODEPINK for peace. Today, that same fear is continuously instilled in us, with new terrorist threats surfacing, citizens constantly being surveilled, embassies closing around the world, and more innocent civilians being slaughtered by US drone strikes-- all in the name of national security. Here at CODEPINK we’ve come up with a list of 10 ways to break the cycle of fear and war:

1. Declare a moratorium on drone strikes.
2. Close the US drone base in Saudi Arabia.
3. Free the 86 Guantanamo prisoners cleared for release.
4. Apologize and compensate innocent victims of US attacks.
5. Go for the “zero option” in Afghanistan: withdraw all US troops.
6. Pursue diplomacy.
7. Stop supporting dictatorships and repressive militaries.
8. Support non-violent civil society movements.
9. Adhere to the international rule of law.
10. Spend foreign aid money on education, healthcare and lifting people out of poverty


I'm sort of grateful that I am still able to be astounded by the depth and breadth of Demobomunist  mendacity and calumniations. I can still take a punch.


 It's hard knowing when to stop though, isn't it?  I mean, eventually you'll always tip your hand about being  mindless, useful idiots

Fields of Dreams


 When Ian Cheney and his best friend Curt Ellis graduated from college they thought they were done with professors and they supposed to feel like they had their whole lives ahead of them, but they just heard some rather disconcerting news. Some day they were going to die, and maybe sooner than they thought. For the first time in American history their generation was at risk of having a shorter lifespan than their parents. And it was because of what they ate. (Full into)

I'm surprised I watched this 90 minute documentary.  Didn't plan on watching more than enough to get pissed off by whiny moralizers.  But the two dudes are highly likable, and their film is, well, more or less a film about other Res Ipsa Loquitorlikable people in Iowa and Colorado.  In other words, a fun indulgence, and kind of nostalgic.  Have you ever run through rows of corn?  You know that semll of green and dirt?  I smelled it.

I'm not going to jump on any bandwagons here about farming, or farm subsidies, or diet—although I did learn some surprising things about them.  No, if I was gonna go on a crusade, I'd be talking about about Monsanto Chemical here. 

Anyway, I don't even have a bitch about corn subsidies, which because of Agriculture Sec. Earl Butz went from us paying farmers for not growing anything, to enticing them to grow as much as possible.  Yes, the farmers still make out because of gummint subsidies,  which is why they continue.  But corn is the cornerstone to a giant American manufacturing economy, and I'm for that (even if I don't like some of what it's used for). 

Anyway, I done led you to water, er corn field.  Cob is in your court.  You're welcome.

Obama, Biden and Kerry walk into a war ...





Okay.  I Probably Sold Obama Short ...

   “The threat is much smaller in terms of al Qaeda returning,” Kerry said on the plane. But, he added, “in undoing what you’ve done, you do Res Ipsa Loquitorhave to be thoughtful about not creating chaos and losing what you’ve gained.”  

Of course, if the Taliban agreed to lay down its arms in exchange for a share of power, Afghanistan would no longer need to defend itself. That was a major reason that both Kerry and Obama had begun speaking less about military success in Afghanistan and more about reaching a political deal.(NYT)
I'm willing to swallow pride and admit that President Obama has exceeded my expectations.  After both Biden and Kerry began Pox Obama in 2009,  by insulting  Afghan President Karzai—by telling him he was corrupt (although the irony was delicious), for starters—I gave him a year to squander all of the Bush success in  reducing the Taliban to invisible, and utterly destroying  al-Queda's infrastructure. 

 It took him four years to take  the world back to Ground Zero.   Sorry.


Al Qaeda Flag Flies High Above Christian Churches

With the ouster of Muhammad Morsi, Egypt’s Islamists have finally gotten the pretext they need to cleanse the nation of its Christian minority, the Copt’s—ironically, Egypt’s most native sons.
Res Ipsa Loquitor
  The unprecedented hate currently being visited on them is fueled by Islam’s “How Dare You?” phenomenon: As conquered non-Muslims, Christians must live as dhimmis, that is, according to traditional Islamic teaching, barely tolerated “infidels” who must be humble and submissive—to the point that they are not permitted to raise their hands to Muslims even when attacked.  (Pictured -Beheaded in Sinai for being Christian: remains of Magdy Lam‘i Habib)

Let us not forget that it was Obama who engineered the Arab Spring uprising that installed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood (now our ally in Syria!!).   And this, one of a current spate of HFS! stories out there. .

Raja,

World War III? is an interesting take on the closing of our embassies in North Africa and the Middle East?  Fay Voshell, writing in The American Thinker, thinks it may be more important than just a coordinated terror attack.  It could be we have been told by Israel that they will be attacking Iran shortly.  I hope so.

Then city officials gave their employees — who have 47 unions, including one for crossing guards — pay scales comparable to those of autoworkers.

*It appears that all record of this article, which apparently appeared in the Michigan Chronicle,  has been expunged. 


As the crimes became more violent, the whites fled. Finally, unlawful Mexicans moved in at a torrid pace. Detroit suffers so much shoplifting that grocery stores no longer operate

Today, you hear Muslim calls to worship over the city like a new American Baghdad with hundreds of Islamic mosques in Michigan, paid for by Saudi Arabian oil money. High school flunk-out rates reached 76 percent last June, according to NBC's Brian Williams. Classrooms resemble more foreign countries than America... English? Few speak it!
