“ As a constituent, I must protest that these are abortions aberrations. ”

GOP Machination

Punk'd “ We reported that staff within the Republican National Committee are working to re-impose it, outside the public eye.   ... The RNC officially and vehemently denied. But. We’ve also tracked the statements of elected Republicans including Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, and the activities of their lobbyists and staffs. Sensenbrenner is under the influence of a long-time former staffer who is currently lobbying for the far-left ACLU. What a red herring. Voter ID is not about voter “suppression.” What, specifically, do Sensenbrenner, Cantor, Boehner and Priebus want imposed? What do they regard as “voter suppression”? They should lay their cards out on the table. The specific laws that Democrats like Williams want to use the Voting Rights Act to undo now are laws mandating photo ID at the voting booth — which Sensenbrenner claims to support. And, which heavy majorities of the American people support. And, which have been shown to increase minority voter turnout. Voter ID is sensible and especially critical in the border states, where vote brokering, identity theft and fraud are all too easy for even non-citizens to perpetrate. So if voter ID isn’t Sensenbrenner’s motivation for seeking to put several southern states back under federal receivership when they make even minute changes to voting regulations and laws, then what is? Why does the Wisconsin Republican believe that the “full power” of the Voting Rights Act is still necessary in the south? He should step out and explain publicly what he intends to do and why, and to which specific states. [Full Wonderment] I don't walk into this believing the Democrat and Republican parties have been whipsawing the voting public in tandem for the past 50 years,  but I'm getting there.  If PJ Media are right about this, it explains a lot.  Like why the GOP treated Sarah Palin with hostility after she jump started McCain's campaign, and actually threatened to win.  We were punk'd. ”

Little Richard is Alive?

“ People You Thought Were Dead One of rock’s most distinctive and influential performers is calling it quits. " " In an interview with Rolling Stone, legendary recording artist Little Richard admitted that, just a few months shy of his 81st birthday, he’s hanging it up as a performer. “I am done, in a sense,” he told the magazine, adding, “I don’t feel like doing anything right now.” He stole the show  in Down and Out in Beverly Hills.  Even then I thought he had already died. Still, I liked Chuck Berry more at the time, ”

Arab Mentality “ A different story altogether, but fitting   By Dr. Arieh Elda an M.D. at Hadassah Hosp Hospital in Israel   I was instrumental in establishing the "Israeli National Skin Bank", which is the largest in the world. The National Skin Bank stores skin for every day needs as well as for war time or mass casualty situations.   This skin bank is hosted at the Hadassah Ein Kerem University hospital in Jerusalem where I was the Chairman of plastic surgery.  This is how I was asked to supply skin for an Arab woman from Gaza , who was hospitalized in Soroka Hospital in Beersheva, after her family burned her. Usually, such atrocities happen among Arab families when the women are suspected of having an affair.   We supplied all the needed Homografts for her treatment. She was successfully treated by my friend and colleague, Prof. Lior Rosenberg and discharged to return to Gaza . She was invited for regular follow-up visits to the outpatient clinic in Beersheva.   One day she was caught at a border crossing wearing a suicide belt.    She meant to explode herself in the outpatient clinic of the hospital where they saved her life.   It seems that her family promised her that if she did that, they would forgive her.   This is only one example of the war between Jews and Muslims in the Land of Israel . It is not a territorial conflict. This is a civilizational conflict, or rather a war between civilization & barbarism.   I have never written before asking to please forward onwards, so that as many as possible can understand radical Islam and what awaits the world if it is not stopped.   Dr Arieh Eldad           http://www.snopes.com/politics/israel/eldad.asp (not that what Snopes say is any guarantee) Metger Metzger ”

Thanking God for abortions? JFC!

When Democrats are in charge                                                “Kill A Baby For Jesus” “ “We give thanks, oh Lord, for the doctors, both current and future, who provide quality abortion care.”       They made the unusual decision, for Democrats, to begin the event with a prayer. This was likely in response to a prayer vigil being conducted by pro-life activists at the same time nearby.     Des Moines activist Midge Slater took the podium and spent five and a half minutes thanking God for abortion rights, abortion doctors and taxpayer funding for abortions. She also referred to the decision to have an abortion as “a blessing”.     During the entire prayer, State Senator Jack Hatch and Rep. Tyler Olson, both of whom are running for governor, kept their heads bowed and eyes closed, joining in the group prayer. Nobody yet has told me how we might have a conversation with Democrats, and this is why.  There are none. No way.  Nada.  Let me define "Democrat," so there is no misunderstanding about whom we speak.  A Democrat voted for Obama.  The stain is indelible. ”

Rick and Kitty Beating the Man

“ Rick & Kitty Adventures   Went to a couple's place last night for cocktails, after dinner.  This guy is a German, who took an early retirement working for US Forces in Europe, then "retired" at the age of 53 in Arizona.   Since then, he and his wife moved to Salinas, Ecuador....didn't like that (I could have told him) and now has been in Cuenca for a couple of years.  He is now 65. Anyway....this guys is a TV nut.  He turned me on to HMA (Hide My Ass) VPN......... for a monthly fee you can re-route your IP  (actually, it gives you a new IP) through thousands of servers all over the world.  Right now, I'm operating through a proxy server in Miami..... after just leaving a server in Denver. The advantage there, is that a lot of content (about 90% of Netflix content) is restricted for distribution outside North America..... I just logged on to my Netflix account after hooking up to HMA..... and now 100% of the content is there!  The same holds true for PBS, the History Channel, etc.... Anyway, none of this helps any of you unless you are outside the country....but he did turn me on to two Android apps.  One for TV (Called TV Portal) and one for Movies (Movie Maze).  Through TV Portal, it looks like he can pull up pretty much any TV show that's been aired in the last few years.  Movie Maze is even more interesting.... he fired it up on his Toshiba Tablet, and started playing the new Mat Damon movie (Elysium), which is currently in theaters in the US.  Since I had my Samsung Tablet stolen in Buenos Aires.... I'll have to rely on my Samsung phone for now.... but I'm going to give it a try in a few minutes.  Just thought you'd be interested in the VPN capability, AND the two Android apps (Apple might have similar apps, for all I know). This guy really knows what he is doing, and he is DEATH on anything Apple.  On the other hand, I've run into people that are just as committed to Apple, and wouldn't have anything but..... cuzzin ricky Since Rick and I still have our teenage hair, it must be maternal genes.  Of course he is 30 tears my junior.  ”

A Measured But Letha Respone

Professor's Response To Angry Gay Marriage Supporter “ Excerpted from Clash Daily – Dear Edward: I want to take the time to thank you for writing and telling me that I should be fired from my position as a tenured professor because I am “the biggest embarrassment to higher education in America.” I also want to thank you for responding when I asked you exactly how you arrived at that conclusion. Your response, “because you insist that marriage requires one man and one woman,” was both helpful and concise. While I respect your right to conclude that I am the biggest embarrassment to higher education in America, I think you’re wrong. In fact, I don’t even think I’m the biggest embarrassment to higher education in the state of North Carolina. But since you’re a liberal and you support “choice” – provided we’re talking about dismembering children and not school vouchers for those who weren’t dismembered – I want to give you some options. In fact, I’m going to describe the antics of ten professors, official campus groups, and invited campus speakers in North Carolina and let you decide which constitutes the biggest embarrassment to higher education. In the early spring semester of 2013, a women’s studies professor and a psychology professor at Western Carolina University co-sponsored a panel on bondage and S&M. The purpose of the panel was to teach college students how to inflict pain on themselves and others for sexual pleasure. When you called me the biggest embarrassment in higher education, you must not have known about their bondage panel. Maybe you were tied up that evening and couldn’t make it. At UNC Chapel Hill, there is a feminist professor who believes that women can lead happy lives without men. That’s nothing new. But what’s different is that she thinks women can form lifelong domestic partnerships with dogs and that those relationships will actually be fulfilling enough to replace marital relationships with men. I can’t make this stuff up, Ed. I don’t drop acid. Well, at least not since the late 1980s. But I promise this story is real and not an LSD flashback. At Duke University, feminists hired a “sex worker” (read: prostitute) to speak as part of an event called the Sex Workers Art Show. After his speech, the male prostitute pulled down his pants, got down on his knees, and inserted a burning sparkler into his rectum. While it burned, he sang a verse of “the Star Spangled Banner.” I believe that stripping incident was almost as embarrassing as the other one involving the Duke Lacrosse team. There are seven more examples given.  Mike Adams is a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and author of Letters to a Young Progressive: How To Avoid Wasting Your Life Protesting Things You Don’t Understand\.   This earns the Tag "Best Ever"      Mike Adams is a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and author of Letters to a Young Progressive: How To Avoid Wasting Your Life Protesting Things You Don’t Understand.

Flight Tracking Everybody

TECHNO THRILLS                       "Tell Uncle Harry His Plane Made it Over The Border" And look at all the pretty colors   I've been using some version of Flight Tracker since the Battle of Britain when we tracked during the Blitz, but this is staggering.  I'll leave it you you to fool around with it, but it does raise a question.  Who is it that wants the capability to monitor every single plane in the air?  Just wondering.

Pool Closer

Space and Time *smacks head* A pool closer   It seems like it was just last week we had the season pool opener here; and, wow,  this weekend we had the pool closer.  I can't believe it.  It seems like just a few years ago that we celebrated Frank's B'day at the pool closer   It seems like a hundred years ago when we had a constitutional government. l

Risotto

Where I Make Risotto I have never eaten Risotto.  Alton Brown (whose recipe I used (without the asparagus or mushrooms) isn't the only chef who treats this rice dish  like it's the quintessential mark of a decent chef.  In almost every episode of Gordon Ramsey (Is Everything on Kitchen Nightmares Totally Fake?) it seems that Gordon gags over the "worse fkng risotto I've ever had."  Or his risotto will be part of the "new launch menu."  I know it's supposed to be creamy, but I'm not the rice eater in the family, Mo Sup is.  Her favorite is rice mush (rice properly cooked in chicken broth with onions and celery).    This is how my stove looked.  I'm only showing you the neat part.  That's the leftover risotto   MoSup liked it.  A lot.  But not as much as rice mush.  So, this labor intensive dish is off my list, although I must say it was pretty damned good.. Creamy, but not mushy. I wound up using 8 cups of chicken broth, and 1½ cups of wine— the recipe called for 6 cups and 1 cup—with the two cups of arboreal rice.  Don't know why it took so much liquid, but it was ready in the promised 40 minutes, This is a steel mesh glove.  I bought a pair of them after the second time I damned near sliced a finger off using the mandolin I also have the push device to run stuff through the slicer. But I'm evidently too stupid to put them on.   Heres Alton.
