Yet again the left can make a bold accusation without any evidence to support it. If asked to present one example of a prominent Republican saying anything directly racist in the last ten years, they'd be unable to find anything (except, perhaps, the Macaca thing). Clearly, the Republicans are too smart and evil to actually say how much they hate black people. Instead, it is obvious by their statements that they do.
Only to a liberal in this bizarro 1984 world does calling someone arrogant or elitist amount to racism.
Of course, I'm pretty sure the phrase "I love black people" would be interpreted as racist by the left. "He only feels the need to say that because of how racist he is!!!!!11eleventytrillion."
This shit gives me a headache. From now on I'm blogging about children's toys.
* - I know how long ago he said that but today his camp explained that a nearly identical statement wasn't about race. This same aide later mentioned that our war with Eurasia has entered its 4,300th year.
I'll give them one thing, ignorance certainly seems to be strength.

There's an interesting (if somewhat disturbing) article in the Grauniad today about gender confusion at the Olympics and how humiliating some of the testing can be for the, er, female-ish athletes. Apparently, it's not good enough to just take a look "down there" anymore.
The East Germans, of course, were notorious for doping up their female athletes until they were gigantic, mannish freaks, but they weren't the only Teutonic totalitarians to try cheating. The Nazis tried a more, shall we say, Python-esque method.

I don't find it extremely interesting that a woman died in an airplane bathroom. Based on the amount of time women seem to spend in bathrooms, I'd suspect nearly 40% of women die in one bathroom or another.
What I do find interesting is the last paragraph of the article:
Atlanta police stationed at the airport respond to calls about dead bodies on airplanes a couple of times a year, said Officer Eric Schwartz, a police spokesman. Talton said the situation was rare, but flight crews are trained to handle “a number of situations on board.”
It wouldn't have raised an eyebrow except for the euphemistic vagueness of the statement. What are these situations and how exactly are they trained to handle them? Is there a Weekend at Bernie's class they are required to take so they don't freak out the other passengers? Today's class: Icing down a corpse in the galley!
Every time I think I've got a handle on how bizarre the world is, I'm proven wrong.

I'm just sayin, you don't want a ring implanted for rough trade to be of a narrow enough gauge that if it gets a good tug, it's gonna pull through the flesh it was implanted in.
That's why those itty bitty pieces of wire that go through the nipple are useless. You want a large gauge ring that goes behind or you might as well just not touch it, or you're risking a pullthrough. Which can still happen with the larger gauge rings if it's given a good enough tug, but you have to be really trying to do that.
Having never worn braces, I don't know if braces would get entangled in something of a larger gauge.

I had my ears pierced in college (at a Claire's, just like Pleb's daughter, actually). Haven't worn anything since I came to law school, though, and the one on the right has sealed up 'cause of the scarring from the accident.
Not sure that I have an interest in piercing anything else, though. My nips aren't sensitive, which makes that more cosmetic than anything, and I'm not too keen on poking holes in my peen. For a while I dated a girl with her septum pierced. That'd be funny just for shock value alone.

I'm an airline pilot and this happens more than you think (death on board, not getting things stuck on body piercings/accesories).
The flight attendants are told to put a blanket over the body (he's just resting). The crews call ahead to notify EMS. For paperwork reasons, no one dies in the air (how would you know the location of demise?), they're pronounced dead on the jetway.

These rocket cars don't make themselves, ya know
In all fairness, you know you Morons have tried it:
A 20-year-old man is accused of breaking into a small airport and trying to fill up his car's gas tank with aviation gasoline.
"We've had people try and steal gas here in the past," said Jim Meide, who works at Reid-Hillview Airport. "It's really stupid. Put aviation gas in your car and it's so heavily leaded that eventually your valves warp and you'll end up with some very expensive repairs."
Strangest part of the story? No Val-u-Rite vodka was involved.
A little temblor with your test, Malor?
Heh, that had to have been fun. Malor got to experience the recent seismic event while he was trying to take part of his Bar Exam. Hopefully it didn't rattle you too much, I know passing that isn't easy.

Heh, we don't get the giant sinkholes here, that's a Scranton/Wilkes Barre thing. We don't have mines around here either. Flooding and snow are the only real issues we face.
As for the coyotes, you need to send them my grandfather's way, he's a varmint killing machine.
6
Alex, what are your coyotes like? I ask because the ones I grew up with in Oklahoma sounded like a cross between dogs and wolves. Their sound was almost musical, and not scary. But when I moved out here, I lived in the rural Santa Monicas (as rural as it gets this close to L.A. and the valley) and the coyotes sound much more hyena-like. It's very disturbing after dark. I moved back out here last year (after living in Santa Monica proper for two years) and I've had some follow me when I'm running at night, yapping in the bushes and calling to the others which are roving around in the dark. It still bugs me that they sound so different from the coyotes back home. Bastards out here are creepy.

The coyotes run right up and down my street here in suburban L.A. county at night. I'll often see two or three of them run right past me while I'm outside having a smoke. And, yeah, the howling up in the hills at night can be disconcerting at times.

The damn coyotes are the dog/wolf type which wouldn't be so bad if they didn't start the yowling at 3 in the morning and scare the hell out of me. A few nights ago they got something pretty big and I got to hear the circle of life going on right outside my front door. Thank heavens most of the carcass was gone by the time I got up.
I have a good friend in LA who lives in the hills and has a hell of time with them. She says the same thing, that it's a completely different call from the ones out East. I don't think I could handle having them following me, I know my place on the food chain and it's not the top.
Lemme tell you, you know what'd be scary? Having one of those big
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre sinkholes open up right under or in front of you.
Oh hell yes. I'm only sort of joking about our offices collapsing into one. We're fairly certain there's an old mine shaft running under the building.

I've heard about the small earthquakes, most people don't even feel them. We don't get flash floods, and our floods aren't as bad as they used to be because of the dikes, but if there's enough rain or rain+snow melt, we get flooding, and the sewers back up.
I can deal with blizzards so much better than tornadoes or earthquakes. They're usually pretty good about predicting blizzards, and as long as we've got food stashed, we're good, even if we're trapped in the house by the snow for a few days. Plus we're in snowshoe distance of a large grocery store.

Yay for euphamisms. Compulsive breeders in Canada just brought their 18th spawn into the world:
Alexandru Ionce and his wife never planned to have 18 children in 23 years but when they welcomed little Abigail Ionce into the world, that's just what happened.
Abigail weighed in at seven pounds, 12 ounces last Tuesday, making her the 18th child for 44-year-old Livia Ionce and her husband Alexandru, 51.
[...]
Alexandru Ionce does not know if the couple will be having more children.
Gee, thank goodness they live in a socialist paradise and don't have to worry to hard about how to provide for their litter. This is a gem, too (emphasis mine):
He said the birth was not an overly difficult one and that mother and child are doing well.
I've been pretty busy lately but I wanted to remind you that I'm still taking Ask A Moron questions. I know have several I haven't done but many of them require a good amount of time because I want to do them right.

Here in PA there's a requirement that before any proceeds from a lawsuit or settlement are disbursed, the law firm has to check for outstanding child support payments. I got to explain this new rule to everyone in the firm and was asked at what age do we have to start checking. I said I'd check but I assumed it was 16 or so. So I checked. Twelve. Fucking. Years. Old. I may have become utterly convinced that our society is going to hell in a handbasket at that point.
And don't be sure that child services would investigate. There's a lot of not so benign neglect of underage sex. Don't forget, Planned Parenthood is pitching an enormous fit about having to report underage pregnancies. I mean, the mere fact that there's pretty damn proof positive that the underage girl had sex, what with the being pregnant, we wouldn't want anyone to investigate that, oh no.

Many states have exemptions to the statutory rape/age of consent that would render the father immune if he is himself a minor, or at least no more than a year or two older than the mother. So a fourteen year old who gets a twelve year old pregnant might well face no criminal consequences. Also bear in mind that while these things are more frequent, they aren't exactly a new thing. I went to school with a girl who started to have casual sex at about the age of eleven. Another schoolmate, a boy, started having sex at age eleven. (Starting with, be it said, the same girl; but he was younger than her by a year or two.) The girl was adopted, apparently emotionally abused by her adoptive partents, and eventually ran away when she was about fourteen. The boy was spoiled rotten by his parents, who let him get away with just about everything because he was legally blind. But he wasn't the only boy who had sex that young, nor was he the only boy who had sex with that particular girl at a fairly young age. There was another boy at our school who apparently got a girl pregnant when he was fourteen--and beyond starting out that young, there was nothing out of the ordinary about him. This was in the early 70s. However, it is becoming more frequent. But I'd rather have kids who need to pay child support over what happened around here last week: the body of a fourteen year old girl was found in a dumpster, and the murderer turned out to be a fifteen year old boy. Motive: it his first time having sex, but not hers, and she made fun of how clumsly he was. And on that cheerful note, I'll leave you.

Hmmm....yes, I realize it's two years old, but it's new to me:
Palin doesn't support legalizing marijuana, worrying about the message it would send to her four kids. But when it comes to cracking down on drugs, she says methamphetamines are the greater threat and should have a higher priority.
Palin said she has smoked marijuana -- remember, it was legal under state law, she said, even if illegal under U.S. law -- but says she didn't like it and doesn't smoke it now.
"I can't claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled."
I guess it's better than trying to suppress it for an October surprise. I'm not really bothered by it (just as I'm not too bothered by Obama's way-in-the-past drug use). To think, just 16 years ago, Bill Clinton felt the need to say that he "didn't inhale."
Related true story: While I was staying in Oxford one summer during grad school I ate at the pub where Bill Clinton supposedly "didn't inhale."

It's honest and it shows that she gets prioritization of threats. Spending billions to stop potheads from getting munchies is worthless when meth-heads are busy blowing up houses and forcing useful cold medications behind the counter. I'm guessing weed's a way smaller drag on the economy than meth.

What will hopefully be my only "Edwards has a love child" post.
Between Mickey Kaus and Byron York think that the media will have to turn on John Edwards in order to save Sen. Obama. If the Democrats' don't give him a prominent role at the DNC Convention, it will be a tacit admission that the story is true. If they did give him podium time, there would be whispering throughout the stadium and (possibly) outlets like Fox News, who have already corroborated the story.
Nothing must distract from the coronation of the Obamessiah!
If Sinead O'Connor and Morrissey had a child, how long would it be before it killed itself?
According to ChaCha, the answer is "Well there are many factors that would affect the time it would take. Such as how much time would the child spend with a nanny."

Unfortunately they took steps to be anonymous on the whois registry... every once in a while somebody screws that up.

That site is an AWFUL lot like Fred Thompson's old site, which unfortunately wasn't properly grabbed by archive.org and is no longer up, so I can't compare them right now. The Palin site was built off a RocketTheme template that wasn't released as a template until this month - it's possible that the Thompson site was used to build the template and then the Palin site was built from the template, so they may not be associated. There's some nice Flash in there, but overall I don't think the site took more than a week at most to put together. Templates are wonderful.
Whoever set up the site worries me - they've got a link to Michael Savage on the page.

Does no one know how to do a top 10 (or 35) list anymore? Seriously, two in one day where the best is the first item listed. Also, not enough zombie movies.

6 Post-Apocalyptic movies? That's one of my favorite genres. Here's a few I liked:
Hardware (stupid plot, but decent characters and acting, w/Dylan McDermott and Iggy Pop) World Gone Wild (Bruce Dern, Adam Ant, and B movie star Michael Pare!) Cyborg (all the Van Dammage; completely unrelated to Cyborg II, BTW)

Ghost towns
There really is something eerie about them, particularly the Soviet ones, where people were made to leave immediately, and all their belongings left behind. I'll make you take a detour through kishnevi's place to get to the article. We of course have a well known ghost town...well, okay, maybe it isn't technically a ghost town, as there are a few people living there still.

I thought they forced out the rest of the people from Centralia early this year? Dude, I'm just waiting for my offices to be swallowed up by a coal mine collapse any second now. Go Electric City! Go!

Did they push out the rest of the people in Centralia? I guess I'll have to look that up...

I know there were a couple of hold outs left, but I thought the conditions got so bad it was too dangerous to let them stay, no matter what. I'm pretty sure there were at least plans to force everyone out, if they actually did it I don't know.

Yeah, I dunno, I know there's been a prolonged fight over that.

Thank'ee for the link. I was beginning to feel so--alone. When will you be getting back to Around the M-Sphere?

You're right, I do need to start doing them again, they take a while because there's just a ton of sites to sift through, I was getting a bit burned out by them.

I find it interesting that most of the people who wrote in with opposite thoughts and opinions, did so in such a judgemental and authoritive manner. bathroom furniture
