I just remembered I left a video in the oven last night. Gotta go check to see if it baked right. Been having some problems. Some ingredients don't mix easily.

L8r, g8rs.

Today's celebrity birthdays - Grrannnn!

Wasn't I just saying yesterday how I missed these? (Being too discombobulated to remember to check your blog) Yay!

Morning, Glories!

Tried to sleep late. The committee sent my Yellow Fuzzy Buddy to mew at me. When I got up, critters were stacked up at the door like planes at O'Hare. Let meowt! they cried. Summer has its good points. The litter box is hardly ever used!

All the Oklahoma Injuns
Were offended at the sight.

An insult to the Tribes, it was
Considered quite a blight!

They all signed a petition
Saying, this, to us, is foreign!

We Redskins are offended
by this pale face Lizzy Warren.

That's about all you're likely to get out of me tonight. Count yourselves lucky. Again.

ARG! #22 easily beat me to it.

But, it was Slapweasel, so it's okay.

Yes, in twenty years, we'll see a laugh-track-soaked half-hour situation comedy making lighthearted fun out of a time of horror and holocaust.

"Cruz's Patriots." Fuhrer Hussein roundly mocked in every episode for his incompetence. The hilarious ensemble cast includes: Vain, perpetually-frustrated, bemonocled Kommandant Erich Holder; lovable turncoat camp guard Colonel "I zee nuthink" Boener (hat/tip to actor John Bonner); alas, the lovely secretary character wooed by Hogan in the 1960s had to be replaced by Lois Lerner.

"...because they’d rather play politics than actually trying to address some of these challenges..."

Projection again. They're telling you loud and clear what they're doing! It's so painfully obvious that it would be quite hilarious, if they were characters in a half-hour situation comedy show instead of actual despots subverting the United States' Constitution and the rule of law. Except for that.

Thanks, Pete. Mentioned this post over on Ace.

Bush did good and ill, but whatever his unwise decisions and shortcomings, his character is admirable. He seems sincere.

The day he took office I saw a photo of him at a desk, reading glasses on, looking ordinary; I knew absolutely he would never be canoodling in a closet with an intern, that the hideous hillbilly rapist was out, finally!! We celebrated like the end of a war.

And if by then I didn’t thank God enough that we had avoided President Gore by millimeters, I certainly was thankful after 2001/9/11.

And whatever the mess we were in by the time of his re-election , I still praise heaven that we avoided President Kerry, again by millimeters.

I’m having a little trouble understanding just what the Most Highs are up to permitting Obama to subsequently be inflicted upon us, but if nothing else, the lying, insincere, mugging, preening, stuttering Speech Reader in Chief sure makes GWB look great, honorable, noble, and almost missed. (Almost, in that, no, I don’t wasn’t GWB or Jeb or any Bush ever again, I want someone better than Reagan.)

Again, thanks Pete.

Posted yesterday, here’s Part 4 of that ongoing project. As before, an early edit, not posted “public,” nor on my website yet, even. Just for m’frenz. Parts 1-3 linked in the vid’s description.

Pretense – the purposeless prayer of the proud President (2:10)

Part 5, the best part yet IMO, wouldn’t upload, due, so I gather, to my lack of comprehension of WTF I’m really doing trying to smash videos together with my Primitive Sledgehammers of Editing. I’ll start some new “concussive maintenance” techniques this morning.

AllenG > "The actual Constitution was a thing of genius. Limit the Federal Government ... [to] focus on those things it's supposed to be doing... the Federal Government would be judged on how... it secured the border. Instead, it's judged on how much free crap it gives out."

This!

Struck me how very simple is the equation here. The same applies translated to other levels of gov'ts' relative duties.

There's the very definition of the difference between those who believe in limited, liberty-protecting government and the various tyrannical manifestations of Big Bro / Big Nanny.

Grampa Jimbo > "On the right figure, Capri pants look great. I am thinking 1962 Mary Tyler Moore."

As many of us do at the mention of Capri pants!

Back for a few, but with nothing to add but an ad.

Pistol Pete, the resident Vic over at PoliNation, notes that yesterday was GWB's 68th birthday.

I miss Gram's (who was it? I'm so bad with nicks sometimes) daily birthday posts.

FTR, Autoincorrect "fixing" Powerball to powerfully in my #53: at least it wasn't in my first comment.

Now the cat that is the model for the How to Train Your dragon is banging her head on my knee because it's feeding time for my furry friends. AWK...

And, it's on! Extra-large pocorn with extra butter and salt!

Anyone could defeat the clown car cavalcade that is the Democrats.

Anyone!

Except the Republicans....

"I was so counting on hitting the Powerball this weekend..." -Chi-Town Jerry

Powerfully? Oh, no! Panic! I forgot to buy a ticket! I'll bet my numbers came up, too! Dang it!

I was reading the post (yeah, I know), and, now...

I've only had one sip of coffee so far, but I can't quite parse the first part of the run-on sentence that is Gabe's 2nd paragraph.

"...to gin up more fears of the NSA for, get this, placing out-of-bounds internet data on U.S. citizens it intercepts while going after foreign nationals..."

I don't "get this." Is "placing" a typo? Some memeing I don't know? Or do I need mas cafe?

This is no way to stay Monday!

F the post, on to the comments...

Morning, Glories!

What a buncha punk rabblerousers! Without Ben, they'd've been totally lost. Well, okay, George was a big help. And Paul, I suppose. And a couple of Toms.... actually: Dang! What a cast of characters!

A succinct but savory post, friend Maetenloch!

Also, do I do a happy dance that I'm not on the wall of shame, or do I get the shoulders of slump because it reflects how little time I get to hang around the commentariat lately?

Why not both!?! The Slampy Huppy Dance!

What?

Good night, Gracies!

I'm going to have to watch video. I keep forgetting to use Mercury browser on iPad.

Thank you. Mindful Webworker for SCOAMF video edit.

Battery on this iPad is 32%. I'm putting away & going outside as soon as I watch the video of police & woman

Books the Mrs has lying around, acquired for a few dimes apiece at the resale shop. At those prices, it's easy to pick up lots of books she would probably otherwise not sample.

Covers only. You want to know contents, ask the Mrs.

"As seen on Oprah"
Robert Holden
Happiness Now
Timeless wisdom for feeling good fast
(Overpriced, I'd guess, at 20¢.)

Seven decisions that determine personal success
The Traveler's Gift
Andy Andrews
"Good Morning America Read This!"

Oprah and to a lesser extent GMA seem like automatic red flags to me.

This one I've read and mentioned on AoS, awhile back, I see Milady is re-reading:

John Powell, S.J.
Will the Real Me Please Stand Up
(So we can all get to know you)
"25 Guidelines for Good Communication"
with Loretta Brady, M.S.W.

J. Ellsworth Kalas
The Ten Commandments from the Back Side
(I asked, is that where eleven through twenty were carved?)

The Life God Blesses
Weathering the Storms of Life That Threaten the Soul
Gordon MacDonald
"includes study guide"

The Promise of the Second Wind
It's Never Too Late to Pursue God's Best
Bill Butterworth & Dean Merrill
Foreword by Lee Strobel

That's what's on tip of the iceberg this week. fwiw

Personally, I miss Tony Hillerman.

Life is short and full of fail.

I seem to have more than my usual copious share already today. I've lost count of typos and fatthumbings and pratfalls and toe-stubbing. Life: no takebacks or do-overs. But we will be able to edit our own comments... in #twoweeks.

Appreciate that the horde is a pretty forgiving and tolerant bunch. (Except when the waters are chummed with troll, of course.)

L8r, g8rs.
