That’s a diverse crowd.
I’ve heard a couple of commentaries that make sense. This is only an opinion, no links. Goons are now first in line to be paid in a bankruptcy making bonds a higher risk in goonized businesses. Borrowing money with bonds is a higher risk for such afflicted businesses and now costs more. Seems reasonable.
I’m no fan of Mittens. But a guy who knows NASCAR owners is probably a better choice to run a large operation than a guy who could not pay his hotel bill only a few years ago.

Heard on KSEV this morning that Prime Minister Cameron was asked by Obama what he thought about the basketball game they were flown to in AF 1 last night. The reply was “Fast and furious.”
Yea for the PM. Wonder if that comment flew over Obama’s head. Bet the PM knows where that bust of Sir Winston Churchill is and is waiting to take it back to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. come January 2013.

I saw this story in the Chron this AM and am glad that I found a link to it via Google.
So let me get this straight, Celltex Therapeutics takes a willing adult’s stem cells and processes them for that willing adult to have his own stem cells re-introduced into his own body to help with tissue regeneration, and this person in Minna-wissinsota wants the FDA to
harass and intimidateinvestigate; for what purpose? It looks like another example of a forward thinking company in the business to help people being pummeled via legal blackmail by those who would be left behind. It looks like the TN in Minn, is wanting the govt to pick winners and losers, and we wonder why cancer treatment hasn’t really gotten that much better over the last 30 years. Cancer treatment has not kept up the same pace of improvement as have cars, computers, or communications technology, or oil exploration and production.Let’s get back to the original topic, what do you think would work better in a human body, a genetically identical replacement part that is produced by the body itself or a metal and petroleum product imitation replacement part which the body has a natural inclination to reject? Which do you think will produce fewer side effects?
Let’s look to the future a decade or two, by then we should be able to grow genetically identical replacement hearts, lungs, kidney and pancreases and whatever other organs need replacing and eliminate the need for human doners; are those in the business of living doners going to sue so they can stay in business when much better alternatives exist?

Right now the black “leadership” control the bulk of the black population and they will do and say anything to maintain that control.
Those who make artificial replacement parts for the human body will do or say anything to prevent the competition from bio-identical parts. Those who market substitute/synthetic hormones for the human body (pregnantmareurine) which contains estrogen compounds that are never found naturally in a human woman, fight vigorously via the FDA against bio-identical hormone replacements (as opposed to hormone substitution). Why, because you can not patent a bio-identical human hormone. Follow the money.

Just cancelled our HBO, Starz, Showtime & Cinemax package with Direct TV, which is priced at $45/month. Never used it, but it came as a freebie when Direct TV made the gigantic mistake of giving it and the NFL games free to new subscribers but not to the longterm subscribers. When the hail of complaints woke up management, they relented and gave the same stuff to the longtermers. I let it be known the reason was to dump HBO because of its rotten assault on Sarah Palin called Game Change. Tried to be nice to the poor lady taking the call–not her fault. She asked if it was only HBO we wanted to pitch, and I said remove all of the package. Direct TV has been getting lots of calls she said.

#68 TT: The rapist and the judge both need to endure 500 lashes or death, whichever comes first. In the comments section I found this”
The NASB Updated version has this for the cited passage:
As you can see the two citations are not the same thing. Athiest Mike just made a glaring example of bearing false witness. I take this as an object lesson to everyone; that when someone quotes Scripture, it is in your best interest to look it up and read the passage, both before and after the cited passage, to make sure that you get the correct context and meaning. Atheist Mike, like so many atheists (frequenters of this page are specifically excepted from this statement) will twist and lie about the Scriptures so that they can ridicule them.
It is possible that he actually meant this passage:
The word translated in English as seize is this in the Hebrew:
If you look at the v22-24 passage; both the actors were to be stoned because she did not cry out; with the implication that she was willing, therefore an adulteress/fornicatress. In the last citation, if the woman cries out, she is not willing and would not likely have to be married to the man and he would face stoning. If she agreed to marry him, other sections in Scripture state that he may not withhold food from her, nor marital relations and if he mistreats her, (knocks out a tooth or eye, etc) there are punishments for that as well.
I realize that is not the topic of the article, but I found it to be interesting.

You are implying that they sensationalized? Mislead? Told a Falsehood? Bore false witness?
Oh, how will I ever trust them again?
They disarmed the US and Afghanni troops prior to the arrival, according to this story. The same story states that the trip was planned for months in advance, but not announced. The disarming, IMHO, would make the visiting VIP more vulnerable to attack and the very act of disarming would alert those who are so inclined that there will be a softer target close by so let’s give it a shot.
If I were a terrorist and I saw unusual activity at a base and then saw that a group was gathering and that they were disarmed, I could come to no other conclusion that a VIP visit was imminent and a big strike could be achieved.

According to this article the plane had not yet or was in the process of landing:
Was there a change in the pattern of behavior at the base, which could indicate a VIP was coming or was this simply a grand coincidence? It does not take a whole lot of planning to carjack a vehicle and ram it into a plane. Do you think that the Taliban might be watching patterns and deviations of patterns at the military bases of the “foreign occupiers” to look for an opportunity to attack?

Hogwash. There are 39 Bush federal appellate appointees and 23 Bush federal district judges that never reached a vote in the Senate. Given that the clock on their nominations stopped ticking when the president left office, your statement is factually inaccurate. Furthermore, we won’t have a valid comparison for another 10 months, when our Nubian Prince leaves office.
#121 Was there a change of behavior prior to the arrival of the VIP other than the disarming of the soldiers?
From Instapundit:

And I hear from the media that those GOPers just hate women folk.
#122
I see, so your point is that there is no comparison possible until Obama finishes his second term? How convenient.
FWIW, the current wingnut term of origin for our President is that he’s from Kenya, not Nubia. Calling him Nubian is akin to calling Romney a Gypsy or Santorum Irish. If you must engage in demagoguery , please get your ethnic slurs correct. We wouldn’t want to lower the tone on the couch.
I mean seriously, is there any liberty-loving person in the world who doesn’t view the UN as a supreme joke funded almost entirely by stupid Americans who are trying to garner favor with the rest of the “family of nations”?
Countries that hate us will always hate us. There is nothing we can do to change that. Why we continue to fund that anti-American nest of vipers is one of life’s great mysteries. Chalk it up to Stockholm Syndrome, I guess.
When did “Nubian” become an ethnic slur? You can take your cultural Marxist silliness somewhere else.
He’s not Nubian, there’s a difference.

I like you and you’re good guy but if you think that ANYONE here believes that line of HS, you must think that we’re all stupid?! You’ve been carrying Romney’s water from the very start, never mind that your guy is pro abortion and pro gun control!! BTW; I didn’t say it, HE DID!!! Just Google it. That said,….if the
Liberalmoderate RINO gets the nod, I’ll be voting for him! Dittos Mickey Mouse, or even a grilled cheese sammich.I worked in the S2/S3 of the Command that ran Post Army Airfield at Fort Sill for two years. At the time, Post Field was the largest Army Airfied in the Southwest. The Commanding General of the Post was (IIRC) a two star General. Fort Sill was the main training base for Artillery Officers at the time and there was a large NATO presence on post that included high ranking officers from those countries as well as those from SEATO nations, and they were regularly visited by thier country’s version of members of Congress on taxpayer funded junkets. It was also the testing round for new artillery equipment and procedures so we had our own congress crtters through there, as well as higher ups from DoD. We had regular traffic of VIPs of all kinds through our airfiled.
Normal protocol is for the Commanding Officer of the post to be notified via encrypted message and all preparations for meeting the VIP are made in his office. By Regulation, such plans for VPs of General and above are classified.
For a VIP of Panetta’s stature, he would have been met at the airfield by the Commanding Officer and his Security Detail and officers from his Staff, plus other important Commanding Officers. Even for a two star, that doesn’t amount to a lot of people. Staff would be one each from S1, S2, S3, & S4 plus a few. The Security detail accompanies the CO as a matterof course, and for a two star that’s 2 guys. None of that is out of the ordinary, however. Staff accompaines the CO on inspections as well.
The last person to know that a VIP is inbound is the Air Traffic Controller who generally doesn’t find out until the aircraft s on or near final. He does nothing with that info except inform the airfield Commander, who probably already knows. Any other personnel in and around the area would be those normally found at a combat outpost arfield.
The party greeting the VIP would not arrive too early, but they definetly would not be late. For a VIP of Panetta’s stature, there would be communications with the CO ndeendent of the airfield, andit would be on a secure line.
There really is no way that anybody could get a clue that a VIP was inbound in time to carjack a truck and try to ram it. This is most likely a coincidence. I note that Panettta’s plane was directed around the wreck, which tells me that the event had already occured before he landed, not while he was landing. I wouldn’t make much about the location of the wreck. There aren’t too many places on an active Army airfield at a combat base where passengers disembark, and those are necessarily ones that are the easiest to get a vehicle in and out of. Can’t have you Generals walking too far in that Afghan heat, might muss up the crease in thier starched BDU’s.
#106 Hambone, now that’s funny right thar, I don’t care who you are!
That doesn’t answer the question. How is it an ethnic slur? If you “progressives” would spend more time worrying about your own selves and less time being offended in others’ stead the world would be a much better place.
FWIW; I do know this, 95 % of the blacks will vote for Obama and 95% of the Mormans will vote for Romney, BUTT, I doubt that 95% of the Catholics will vote for Santorum and I KNOW that 95% of the Baptists will not vote for Newt! I’m missing something here…..Sigh
#132 Hamous
My analogy still stands, refer to Romney as a Gypsy or Santorum as Irish or Gingrich as Italian, the listener will assume there is some property inherent in the assignation that you are attempting to convey.
Or that the speaker is so incredibly WISS that he/she has no business engaging in conversation with human beings or other animated objects; an assumption that in your case I do not believe is true.
Now. Piss off.

I’m even more surprised that there’s a belief that there is outrage,, faux or otherwise. Merely a comment in passing. Folks can call Obama Bantu, Bedouin, Bayern or Lithuanian; it’s just as silly as calling him Nubian.
I confess though, I do not understand the Marxist appellation, I thought Marxists were power to the proletariat types and I fail to see the connection.

No caca de caballo here, Dave. I’ve always expressed favorability towards Santorum over Romney in the *overall* scope of their politics. I’ve never deviated from that position. I’ve also never declared Romney the best candidate overall though I absolutely do think he’d be a better choice than Gingrich. Like Romney, Santorum has brought moderate Republican thinking into legislation in terms of what bills he has supported but on the social issues, Santorum’s clearly been stronger than Romney. This go around I initially supported Cain and Bachman but dropped them both when it came clear neither could handle the public scrutiny in a manner that would have been winnable. In 2008 I was highly skeptical of Romney though I did a big turn around towards the latter part ofthe primaries to support him. Overall I like him and I give him more credit than lots others here would. I truly do think he’ll be a very good president overall. There will be times when folks like you and I will be disappointed in President Romney, that much is to be expected; but overall both you and I will like him and most likely like him quite a bit. If not then it’ll be me, not you, who’ll be standing around looking like a fool. This presidential election’s been different to me in terms of whom I sought to support. I could not quite pin it down until Hugh Hewitt, who really likes Santorum but has for quite a while pointed to Romney as the GOP winner (has “carried Romney’s water” I guess you can say) expressed the mindset of wanting one candidate to support against Obama. That, I think is exactly what i’ve been seeking all along. Obama’s my main target to eliminate (and feel free to link this expression to whatever left-leaning website you desire, I’ll be more than happy to share my take on who expresses hateful rhetoric) and overall Romney will bring lots of conservatism, including anti-abortion and pro-gun support, to the White House and he’s the most electible candidate. Despite Gingrich’s tempt at prophecying, Mitt Romney’s going to be the GOP nominee, period. I say rally behind him now rather than later.
And thank you for the compliments before saying my post was caca. I think highly of you as well; especially with a decent Pioneer home theater receiver in your living room.
#133;
First off, I doubt Harry Reid will vote for Romney, but John Huntsman will. And 95% of voting Mormons I think is accurate. Second, the lack of Catholic support for Santorum has been one of the most surprising developments during this election cycle for me.

That’s because Newt’s split the Roman Catholic vote.

I’ve heard that there is a lack of anthropological evidence of widespread horse use among the Huns. If true, that’s interesting. According to written record, I don’t think there’s any doubt that horses were widely used.
Why would that surprise you? It just shows you Catholics have moved way past “I’m voting for candidate A just because he’s like me” and for no other reason. Hopefully one day blacks and Mormons will do the same and vote for candidates that have their best interest at heart.
I reckon Mulatto and Creole are out of the question.
The FLOTUS displayed a fair amount of beadery around her neck at the state dinner tonight.
Darren, I’m glad that you responded to my post, not sure you got my drift but I don’t have time to elaborate. But about the Huns, I’m sure that you’ve herad the term “Whistling Death” attributed to the F4U Corsair, but did you know that Attila the Hun and his men used arrows that had round holes in the tips so that when they came down they whistled? I read this in National Geographic years ago and today Google is NOT friendly, but I found this: Huns.
Probably because I’d imagine that Santorum, more than any other candidate *would* represent what most Catholics believe to by in their heart. So forgive my frankness but I do not share your conclusion that the lack of Catholic support for Santorum is due to Catholics being more “evolved” voters than blacks or Mormons. I think it has lots more to do with national name recognition but I really do not know for sure.
Yikes!

Neat insight on the Huns.

Give her a mowhawk and she’d be Mr. T’s wife or sister.
Soledad O’Brien’s Twitter account has gone dark. Apparently her meltdown over Critical Race Theory and the ensuing Twitters of her followers letting her know how wrong she was, was more than she could handle. Joel Pollack, her guest during the original debate (before she pulled in another academician to help her cover her butt), had this response:
My question: Is the loss of Ms. O’Brien in the Twitter world really that big a loss?
Oops, forgot the link.
Oh hell no. i have drank some exotic drinks in my day but………..

I guess. Or you could shave her head and she could be Sinead O’Conner.

What??? LOL! Mormons have more in common with Santorum’s positions that Romney’s. They are voting for him at 95% rates because he’s Mormon.
My sister loved it forever it seemed.

I think if “the Mormon” candidate was John Huntsman then you would have seen much more votes go towards Santorum than him. Furthermore, “Romney” is a name very well known among Mormons as opposed to “Santorum”.
Also, I think in a presidential election between Rick Santorum and Harry Reid then you’d see the Mormon vote go 95% to support Santorum.
Even the first Catholic president only got 70% of the Catholic vote.
That’s interesting.
I’ve also been wondering if Catholic voters overall are more liberal-leaning? That would explain their 70% vote for the nation’s first Catholic president as opposed to far less than 70% voting support for Santorum. If they are more liberal-leaning than what would the primary reasons be?
It has a lot to do with the social justice movement within the church.
It is 12:02 am could someone tell me why i am still awake?
I was thinking that myself. In fact, if I’m not mistaken, it was under John F. Kennedy that blacks began to leave the Republican Party and support the Democrat Party based in large part to their support for social programs.
One of two reasons:
First, you’re still awake so that you can stare at my awesomely gorgeous gravatar or, second, you’re still awake so that you can stare at your awesomely gorgeous gravatar. It’s a toss up.
Because you’re as nuts as I am.
But I’m going to bed now. Sweet dreams.
A certain doctor in Japan may soon need a street name for prison recognition. I say, “Italian Samurai”.

For awhile it looked as if a car gve him a race challenge. We’ll call that driver “Little White Ninja”. Ninjas are known for getting samurai into trouble.
Don’t think that’s possible.
Good night Tedtam.

C’mon just 16 more! …. ah, nevermind, gotta get up in the mornin’.

And, let’s face it, the anti-Catholicism in America. The Democrats ran Al Smith against Herbert Hoover and Catholics took a beating, the Bishops didn’t forget that. Look up Know-Nothings, convent inspection laws, KKK, or Paul Blanshard. Kennedy represented a a triumph over these knuckleheads.
As recently as 2000 the House refused to appoint a Catholic Chaplain, although Father O’Brien was the clear candidate.
I’d ay this is a witness for Breitbart’s success:
Moving On and I Hope You’ll Join Me
I got this heads up from Patterico’s site. He “lost” a great blogger to Breitbart as well.
200! Oh, wait, about 16 short.

From your link:
Oh, pease. While between the Chicago Sun Times and Chicago Tribune, I’d say the Tribune is clearly the more pro-Republican paper it’s still based in…Chicago. Such hyperbolic nonsense is expected. I can’t speak for others, but, who cares if the House only chooses Protestants? Protestants represent the country well and in fact, were it not for the Protestant movement in particular, we would not have the many freedoms which we enjoy today. Unless House chaplain is an ‘office” position, i really don’t care if that position is Protestant-only until the Second Coming so laong as those the House chooses to fill that position is a good person. and, for the resord, I’m perfectly fine with a Catholic filling in that position as well.
Come on, just 12 more!
Wow, it looks like now we only need 11 more to go!
Now it’s ten..what’s going on here???
From Hewitt:
Well said.
Santorum and Romney to the Endgame
Whoohoo: 200 – 7!
