I worked late again last night. I have to run and get a permit this morning. The door is open – just wipe your feet, please – and tea is in the fridge. Come on in, play nice, and take a seat on Hammy’s Comfy Couch.

Texas declares independence from Mexico
March
02
1836
On this day in 1836, Texas became a republic. On March 1 delegates from the seventeen Mexican municipalities of Texas and the settlement of Pecan Point met at Washington-on-the-Brazos to consider independence from Mexico. George C. Childress presented a resolution calling for independence, and the chairman of the convention appointed Childress to head a committee of five to draft a declaration of independence. In the early morning hours of March 2, the convention voted unanimously to accept the resolution. After fifty-eight members signed the document, Texas became the Republic of Texas. The change remained to be demonstrated to Mexico.

/No!! Contrary to popular belief I did not make a cameo appearance in this vidiot. It is some impostor.
The first car I drove around when I got my license was an old 1969 Datsun 510 station wagon. I had a lot of fun in that little car. Looks like Nissan may be resurrecting the name.

I’m going to open a music thread for you guys.
A big shout out to Sarge, Simple Simon (and yes me).
Why? Are we not allowed to post music vidiots in the open comments?
She just hates music on OC.
Open a permanent cat thread while you’re at it.
I tried that at LST. guess what. It got very few hits and the open comments continued to bring the vidiots.

Okay, music thread is open.
Did you say cat thread?

Did ya wipe yer feet?
I just saw Dana Loesch’s interview with Piers Morgan. The Big sites are going to roll out something new – a big project that Breitbart was working on – on Monday. She said Andrew called it “Drudge 2.0″.
This should be interesting.
Piers Morgan is a tool.

#24 Hammy
Well, I never owned a Datsun but I was a big fan of the small Datsun pickup truck. By the time I was ready to give up my MG Midget convertible — mostly because after I moved to Houston, I found that the engine cooling system wan’t robust enough for these summers — the truck had become a Nissan, and that did not have the same name appeal for me. I ended up getting a Toyota pickup instead and that is all I have driven ever since.
I had no idea that Datsuns were ever considered as cheap vehicles.
Ever been in a B-210?
I”m so frustrated. Every time I think I’m going to get my schedule going, I get a phone call and/or a request that prevents it.
I’m going to try for my workout now. Again. Then I’ll shower. Hopefully. (No smart aleck comments. Oh, crap, look who I’m talking to.) THEN maybe I can get downtown to get that permit I need to get.

Dave Barry writes about his colonoscopy. He is his usual funny self, but at the end makes a very serious, cogent point:
I had one last year and the worst part was the stuff you drink the night before. I can’t tell you what the actual “procedure” was like because I was given a small dose of something that knocked me out in about 3 seconds and I don’t remember a thing about it.

44 Sarge,
Ms Simple and I had a Datsun B210 back in the seventies. It wasn’t a bad car and ours
had an air conditioner. The Ford Maverick it replaced did not. Those long traffic jams in
Pasadena between Shaver and the tunnel weren’t so bad with the B210.

I feel your pain.
I am eternally grateful to the genius who put AC in cars. For the longest living in Abilene, TX we drove around in a black 2 door Dodge 330. You could not roll down enough windows at any speed to get cool.
Great times and memories associated with just the same.

The 23-year old law studentette who testified before Congress about how horrible it is for her to have to actually pay for her own contraception is actually a 30-year old feminist activist who chose Georgetown in part to battle their prescription policy.

So she is just another Feminazi NAG. Yawn.
#86 meet #83
#83,86,87 She is a WISSIN LIAR and Nanzi Pelousi, et al, is an active participant to that lie. Nanzi lied about the N word being used during some stoopid march she was on. We and the R leadership needs to simply call her on her blatant public lies and ask the question: “Why should anybody trust or even listen to a known liar?” Liar, Liberal, Loony, Moonbat, are all apparently synonyms for Democrat.

It’s not the “drove” part that worries me.
It’s the “bought” part that freaks me out.
Lee Ioccoca hypnotized me.
All these stereotypical wagon-burning types are going to have to forfeit their claim to being Native Americans.
It seems they were late to the party.
So it turns out Europeans really DID discover America.
#92 Texpat: Izzit possible that the yerpeeans that came over descended to be the savages that typified some of the native American tribes, like the Comanches?
“We’ve had some isolated incidents where our troops have been shot at [by Afghan troops]” says Leon Panetta. Over 20% of the deaths of coalition soldiers this year have been at the hands of our so-called allies.
Savages??? Dude.
#94 BC
Yes, I can envision certain short, fat Italians sailing over here, trapped in an unforgiving wilderness, deprived of pasta, limoncello and sun-dried tomatoes, making the short leap in one generation to the savagery and brutality of the Comanche tribe.
In fact, it’s my theory now on the western migrational aboriginal tribes.
Hallelujah !
#97 TP:
22,000 years ago, prolly some pretty darned hearty stock to be able to make it across the Atlantic – I am guessing maybe Nordic descent.
That is one real long generation.
Heh
So much fir winning the hearts and minds…. awwww never mind.
Prior to the Italians showing up, my relatives wouldn’t eat clams on account of they didn’t have linguine.

You ever look at those early photographs of Comanches ? Sheesh, some of them look like they’re 20,000 years old.

From the comments
According to people who get paid to count this stuff
I just came home from errands. I saw the article about the Europeans calling dibs on America. I actually was telling someone about it earlier. If I remember correctly, the article states that they were believed to have walked across the Atlantic during the Ice Age. It was believed that there were enough animals on the ice sheet to have supplied enough food for the trek.
No boats. Interesting theory.
I just observed an interesting phenomenon: I take vitamins morning and evening, and one of them D3, is in liquid form in an olive oil base. When I dropped it in the glass of water the oil droplets made perfect magnifying glasses and it was very clear as the drops were floating around. Kind of cool.
Fro some reason sub and super script do not like to work with chrome.
D3
test to see if a different technique works
#111 Tedtam, I’ve seen this before and the theory is that they skirted the ice sheet in small boats eating seals along the way. In any case it is Dayaamed interesting to me and the fact remains that they found a “
ClovisSolutreans Point” on the east coast 9000 years eariler than they thought man was here.Please read the whole story, it’s worth it.
They wern’t savages. Just a different culture.
And we all know one culture can’t be superior to another.
Something that best describes the current administration.
#110 Shamaal:
The problem is – she doesn’t know what they actually mean.
Sheila should be made to wear a sandwich board that says, “Barbara Jordan Wannabe – FAIL!!!”

Yep, that description nails it perfectly.
I am due for a return engagement with the gastroenterologist this spring.

I caught Michael Berry ragging on Shirley Jackson Lee’s vocabulary this afternoon. He listed a bunch of special words he played her on tape saying, including
“sustence” and nutrition
“muss” I die? “muss” my child die?
Clearly he is a terrible racist.
Oh and BTW, Berry opines that these word counts are based on taped speeches that any member of Congress can make in any empty room in the Capitol building. They are not speeches made to the Congress in session.
