Either trampling or crucifixion would be appropriate.

First actual out-loud chuckle of the day.

I'm still back there quite a ways, reading. I'm slow.

Did anybody note that, per JJS, it's 666 days until the ostensible inauguration of the supposed alleged potential next administration. Or the beginning of term three-til-death, whichever?

Can't see that day -666 could be any worse than the rest of the days of hell of this administration, though.

"...cooking rice with a small amount of coconut oil-they used a teaspoon for every half-cup of rice-and then putting it in the refrigerator can reduce digestible starch, and calories, by more than 50%..."

Hey! This is actually good health news, curmudgeonly reporter Vic notwithstanding.

I'm not sure the coconut oil (which is good stuff anyway) matters as much as the refrigeration. Same thing works - cook, cool - on potato and other foods to convert some of it to 'resistant starch.' (Benefits remain when the food is reheated.)

Milady is more read up on this than I. Can't consult with sleeping beauty at the moment, though (h/t to chrissy at PoliNation blog for writing about resistant starch).

Morning, Glories!

Just got here. Now to read.

Gotta go to bed.

Happy landings. y'all. Play nice. If you can't play nice, at least win.

Good night, Gracies!

Re Muz pilot, I see GnuBreed beat me to it by a lot and Brother Cavil beat me by a little. But my comment was still best. o_O

Okay, fine, change of subject

Passing this along (c/o Liberal Logic 101).

Here in a nutshell (appropriately enough for nuts) is what all those beeching about "equality" and "justice" really mean.

Ava almost made me forget to comment.

Has anyone mentioned this here yet?

ABSOLUTELY UNEXPECTED!!

"All evidence indicates that the copilot of Airbus machine in his six-months break during his training as a pilot in Germanwings, converted to Islam...."

Shocked. SHOCKED!

BTW, Legal Insurrection provided a new video ad for Rick Perry (who isn't running yet ha ha).

It might not be a fair comparison, but after watching Cruz's announcement full of specific promises, Perry's ad seems to me vacuous, uninspiring, and disappointing; which may reflect Perry, I'm sad to say, because I kinda like the guy. Took a great mugshot, looked real Presidential. But Cruz has it all over Perry on everything else, I think.

"According to a poll conducted by the most popular pro-democratic radio/Internet-resource in Russia, the majority would like to have Ted Cruz as Russia’s head of state (no fake, no joke)…"

I am so old I pre-date blogging, so I can be easily confused sometimes by this modern world. When I see a post here that I've already commented on over at PoliNation, I wonder, should I re-post my comment here? What if a post gets reblogged by a bunch of people? Do I have to follow the post all over the web?

Anyway, I'm not leaving my same comment, I'm leaving this one. Looked like the post could use a comment.

:D

Passing this along (c/o Liberal Logic 101).

Here in a nutshell (appropriately enough for nuts) is what all those beeching about "equality" and "justice" really mean:

From what I know of the definitions, I also would argue that ol' Jug-ears is clinically a sociopathic Narcissist, not technically a psychopath.

Noting that I are not a psychologist (but neither is Dr Carson*), nor does I play one on teevee.

*I joked on Ace this morning that Dr. Carson only works with the hardware (a/k/a wetware), not with the software; but someone argued that there is frequently a physical component to psychopathy. Punchline killer!

Whatever. The cancer in chief is certainly psycho, in street terms.

Joshing Earnestly says Yemen still represents Obama success story.

Even "Baghdad Bob" wasn't that dumb.

One might infer that the fall of Yemen is exactly what pResident Barely Present wanted!

Pete: "We are aiding Iranian militia who are every bit as bad as the ISIS savages.What the hell are we doing??"

Oh, don't you know? It's all part of Obama's ingenious n-dimensional chess foreign policy, to turn the Saudis and the Iranians against each other.

HAHAHAHAHA… it's not funny.

(Hey, I actually re-located a comment I was looking for in a heap of comments on Ace; amazing. What we should be doing:

"I am reminded of Henry Kissinger who when asked what we should hope for when the Iran-Iraq war broke out in the early 1980s replied, 'A long bloody war with many casualties that ends in a stalemate.'"

Called to check on Mom this afternoon, even though I knew she was fine.

She's been in Oklahoma just about all of her 92 years (except some of WW2 in Kansas City, IIRC).

She says it's a bad sign that we should have tornadoes this early. I defer to her experiental wisdom.

That tornado forming live on KFOR-TV was amazing. It was a great example of how you can have a cyclone cloud forming overhead, and multiple twister tails on the ground, and not actually be able to see the whirling winds connecting them. (The weatherman really got excited, understandably.)

June of 1974 was the first time Tulsa got hit by tornadoes. I was living on 35th Place, a few blocks from the river. One of the twisters ripped right down 36th Place, two blocks South, which was close enough my yard got trashed as well. One day, I bicycled through the neighborhood, admiring the pleasant old 1930s homes with many tall trees and neatly-kept yards. Two days later, I was bicycling around fallen tree branches, looking up though 2nd floor windows at sky. One house had the whole West side of it gone, but everything inside pretty much fine; looked like a doll's house.

Ah, I could go on and on about that night! You know how they say it sounds like a locomotive going overhead? A very loud locomotive. Tornadoes always had my respect, but after that one, most assuredly!

Mindful Webworker has probably gone off to mindfully webwork, but I wanted to thank him for the prayer that he offered in the art thread. The call went much better than expected.

Fen, may the Spirit guide your tongue and attitudes and those of your correspondent.

That pic is of the first Motel 6. See? They left the light on fer yuh.

Muldoon: "If ISIS got their hands on State Dept. files outlining BHO's Middle East policy I wish them lotsa luck making any sense out of them."

Hah! Good point. And the only laugh I've had out of our intelligence leaking like a sieve for years.
