Italian Restaurant DUH

I called MoSup in Rome Me:  So where did you eat last night? Her: An Italian restaurant

May I have the next, your Grace?

Princess that died in car crash had many adulterous affairs “She screwed every- body she came into contact with who was able to do anything good for her,” “ single nipple warning Unplugged for 31 Years “Grace almost always laid the leading man,” says novelist Gore Vidal. “She was famous for that.” Sigh  Was there ever a lovlier woman ?  Ever?  Evidently her almost "pathological need for her father’s approbation,” caused her to bed everyone in sight, and that included during her her school days.  Schools that I did not attend. dammit. “She screwed every- body she came into contact with who was able to do anything good for her,” They wed in 1956, yet Grace later confessed to an affair with her bridesmaid Carolyn Reybold’s hus- band Malcolm. Rainier’s own flings sent Grace back into the arms of Sinatra and Brando, and she once confided to her hairdresser: “I know my husband has affairs with other women. That’s very frustrating to me and makes me very unhappy.” — Rainier never forgave her affairs .... Of course Grace was killed in a car crash.  The accident happened after the princess left the Ritz Hotel in the French capital with her companion, Dodi Al Fayed - son of Harrods owner, Mohammed Al Fayed with whom she was having an illicit affair that scandalized the Prince.  Wait - I'm being confused here. ”

Brass Balls

Scientists Succeed in Growing Balls on Liberal Democrats in Laboratory “ Liberal Democrats may in future be able to have their missing balls or backbones replaced with ones grown from cells taken from chickens or mice, experts have predicted. Scientists say hybrids of mouse or chicken stem cells – both of which are remarkably similar in structure to those extracted from Liberal Democrat cabinet ministers – raises the possibility of growing missing teeth, backbones and balls on junior coalition MPs’ bodies. Several pairs of fully functioning balls – created by combining stem cells taken from mice and Vince Cable well before he sold himself out for a seat in the cabinet – have been grown in a laboratory by researchers who hope the work could lead to Liberal Democrat MPs being able to grow back other things they lack – such as scruples or guts – and in the future it may even be possible to provide them with at least a primitive, working conscience scientists say. [full] The headline caused a bit of momentary confusion, wot.  "Liberal" and "Democrats" are become synonyms here. Plus, I think we'll agree that it's the GOP who need to grow some brass balls.  Then I noticed I'd been Trompe-l'œil'd—the story refers to the Brits.  Never mind. ”

Where Elizabeth Warren is Electable

Coffin Medicine? “ Raja,  We got a good introduction to the Benghazi scandal last week.  Looks like next week will be even more explosive.  Joseph Curl (in the Washington Times) estimated that by close of business Friday, Obama will have his ass in a sling (and I believe Attila the Hen will, as well).  And if it is true that Obama let loose the IRS scandal in the hope of diverting attention from Benghazi, his hope will be shattered.  In fact, there will be TWO major bonfires burning on Capitol Hill next week.  Figure on several sacrificial virgins being thrown into the pyres, with little effect. I will be listening to Rush Limbaugh for his expert political analysis, and Mark Levin for his legal view.  I was listening Friday when Mark got into the IRS scandal, and that’s when I found out it was he and his Landmark Legal Foundation that got the ball rolling on that one.  I felt practically like a witness to history. Will Obama be impeached?  That’s problematic, as the Senate, where the trial would be held, is in Democrat control.  However, that might not be true after the 2014 elections, so timing may play a role.  Especially with these two scandals, plus further impact from the economic impact of Obamacare, and Democrat casualties of the gun control wars.  I particularly recall the 1994 situation, in which the Democrats were shellacked for the same reason.  And what of Attila the Hen?  What looked a few weeks ago like a shoe-in nomination and election campaign, now looks like a whole new ball game.  How can she appear anywhere questions may be asked?  Attila the Hen may simply be taken care of in the manner of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Skoonj That all makes sense—in the logical politics of yore. But consider where we're at.  To cite just one example, in the past election , when polled on the Elizabeth Warren (D) race against the incumbent Scott Brown (R who won Ted Kennedy's senate seat!) this: Brown’s hurdle is that even as voters from both parties say they like him personally, regard   him as bipartisan, and give him high marks on his job performance, many also say they plan to stick with their political party. And in a presidential year, with high turnout expected, that bodes especially well for Democrats on the ballot in Massachusetts .  (here)   There you have it.  Rather than jeopardize Dem control of the Senate, MA voters elected the vajayjay version of Ward Churchill— a phony American Indian who additionally was found to be practicing law without a license, and appears to have just half the brains of the staggeringly  stupid  Barbara Boxer.  Politics are no longer about what's best for the country, but Duke against Maryland; Florida v Florida State, or  Michigan v Ohio State.  Blood sport. . ”

Missouri Stands Tall!

Missouri Legislature Nullifies All Federal Gun Control “ All federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations, whether past, present, or future, which infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution shall be invalid in this state, shall not be recognized by this state, shall be specifically rejected by this state, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this state. And what’s even better is that the measure is backed by a veto-proof majority. This means that as long as those representatives that supported it initially are willing to support it again (in the case of a veto from the Governor), it will become law on July 1, regardless of what the Governor does or doesn’t do. Kansas was brave enough to take the lead in the fight against federal gun control. And now the Kansas Governor and Secretary of State are duking it out with Eric the “Fast and Furious.” But Missouri’s bill is even better (in part): Read more: Meanwhile-Biden Wants Pastors To Preach Gun Control ”

ABC NEWS

Meet The Press                      Pope Francis' First Crisis? Defiant Archbishop Refuses to Quit “ ABC News, which for example, ignored the Pennsylvania trial  of Dr. Kermit Gosnel— the abortion doctor accused of performing late-term abortions on already delivered babies, killing one woman, but decides this is imprtant?  It's a mere piffle. What I take umbrage with is ABC's lede. “ The new pope's first crisis is not related to the Church's controversial position on contraceptives or proposals for female clergy. Rather, Pope Francis' first major quandary is getting rid of a Puerto Rican archbishop who, despite the Vatican's numerous requests, has repeatedly refused to step down. ” How are tenets of the Catholic church, unchanged for a millennium, controversial?  And to whom?   ”

Christie- A Good Republican

—   Sadly, you are, you fricking berk   “ Boner is a good Republican. McCain is a very good Republican.  So are all these Republicans, who support the "National Fairness" Tax. We're being played here, once again.  Hillary will be the 2016 Dem candidate, and I can smell Christie being set up as the anti.  That's how this shit works. Be a good RINO hunter, don’t believe what they say, believe what they do, and believe what they do, they do on purpose. ”

But still the Dems presidential choice

Hillary's Tit in the Wringer Never mind.  Dems are blaming budget cuts for Obama's and Hillary's criminal ineptitude.

Seein' the Pope

Trippin' Out “ This is truly a milestone week for me. I've been using all my spare time, which is to say all my time, getting MoSup ready for her visit to see the new Pope.  Since telephone rates from Europe are exorbitant, and since—as she pointed out to her sister—we have never gone a single day in our 82 years of marriage without talking to each other, I needed a plan..  I got the bright idea to polish up my 7 year-old Acer Aspire notebook, and harness its powerful Intel Atom CPU NC70 @1.608Hz and 93.38 GB of available memory—and  10" display— to power Skype.  I ain't never used Skype before, but all my kids use it (on their fancy Apples) to interface with each other.  I down loaded and installed it, and now what?  Shit.  I'll deal with that later. Next thing I had to set up her e-mail, because JFC, can;t be missing those gardening tips and sewing machine projects.  Iit's been years since I set up her Verizon e-mail, and none of the passwords or account names are working.   I'll have to call Verizon and find out WTF her e-mail particulars are.. Shit.I'll deal with that later. Of course the first thing I  had to do is sanitize the thing.  It's been so long since I used it on road trips that, you know, some stuff might have gotten on there.  What happens if Pope Francis admires her notebook, and asks to see it?  And he pushes some wrong keys and up pops Paris Hilton in sporting mode?  Or  her plane is hijacked,  And the Islamos something like  this?  I did a full scrub, a full defrag and a full everything., then dabbed some holy water on it.  It's still slow as shit, so I'll be interested to see how it handles Skype. This is where the milestone comes in.  My grandaughter (4ys) got for Christmans what I thought was a toy I-Pad.  Oh no.  The sumbittch has Skype on it. She and the princess are coming tomorrow to show me --SHOW US! how to use it.   I may look like I'm only 75, but I damn sure feel like 76 (after a certain point, nothing more changes.  What's gonna shrink has done shrunk, and what gonna ache, does, always.  But Hey!  Soon as she leaves, it's PAR-TAY TIME. sigh ”

Jane Tennison

At The Cinema                            Best Series Ever (Confirmed) Salesmen will understand.  When I find something that excites me, I am compelled to tell people about it.  I'm also  naturally prone to over-hyperbole stuff, even afterjust  a short test drive. This sometime comes  back to bite me in the ass, like when I waxed all flowery about LILLIE: "This BBC series is magnificent on several levels, not the least of which is it's intimate look at Victorian Age London ..." Problem was, I had only watched  a few episodes when I wrote that. When the action  moved from London to America, the whole thing fell apart.  The characters were  boring and not believable;  the sets cheesy.  I immediately jumped ship, but felt guilty at having led others into a trap.  An event that would naturally send them cursing and to pretermit future recommendations.  Same thing happened with SPOOKS.  Almost immediately calling it "the best television action series ever made," it went into full blown, anti George Bush BBC liberal mode.  I have since skipped several episodes, but am recently  rewarded when Adam Carter gets blown away.  The BBC is no more to be trusted than NBC. But, Prime Suspect.   In April I called it the "Best Series Ever."  I just watched the 15th, and last episode, and it is all of that.  Confirmed with a ++. Premiering in December 1992, it lasted until October 2006.  Helen Mirren's 30 year career as Detective Inspector Jane Tennison evolves, almost in real time.  In those 14 years she ages gracefully, but noticeably.  I fell in love with Mirren, and this week's public rant fits perfectly Jane Tennison, who by the end had  become an alcoholic.  Bravo. Best Ever. By the bye, it happened that just afterwards I watched what I thought was the 81st, and last, episode of Midsomer Murder.   There was no great acting here, nor brilliant screen play.  And it was decidedly  about showing the worst side of Britain's landed gentry. But it was like chicken soup, or a sail on the bay.  Something to exorcise demons after a day of too much Obama. I just now discovered it has continued,  with retired Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby's  cousin, John,  taking over for him.  That series in not in the NetFlix line-up, but I assume it will pop up soon.
