A little dab of toothpaste (I prefer Tom's Spearmint) will take care of that unsightly pimple in no time, rufus. It's a little trick I learned from the Indians.
Trish, being connected with the more polite, Diplomatic Services, it may not be a big thing to you when people make a point of not capitalizing the name of your country
(and, yes, he was saying, "America" did this, and "America" did that - Not, The USA did this, or the USA did that: in other words, he Was referring to the Country, and not the "Continent,")
or, spelling it with a "k" as another of our erstwhile friends was wont to do;
but, it Really Chaps my Ass.
(Must be where the pimple came from.)
And, as I pointed out, he had no trouble remembering to capitalize when the name "Israel" came up.
Rufus, What Is did indeed at some point in the recent past spell America with a 'k', as Rat himself took to doing for awhile.
And I got in a lather over it.
He didn't repeat it, though I'm sure it wasn't out of deference to my feelings. I believe he just thought twice about it.
I don't think his failure to capitalize the other day was intentional, as he capitalized twice before that in the same post and it was probably a hurried one.
(As intentional insults go, failure to capitalize would just be the goofiest and lamest damn thing anyway. Almost like adding an extra vowel. 'Did your handlers not give you the rundown on insult protocol before they sent you here?')
Rufus, I just do not believe that he meant any insult by it. Whatsoever. I think generally that if one is in the mood to take offense, one will find reason to take offense.
I say, if you're going for insult, go whole hog. Full bore. You know. Like mat's "Lady liberty is a whore." Something that will get the shit beat out of you by sailors on shore leave before they've even ordered their first round. But failure to capitalize? Give me a break, rufus.
We are not wired for long wars with nebulous goals and dubious allies. Americans like wars that are for vengeance, ruthless in execution and short in duration.
Funny Trish, reminds me of a warm Sunday in October on Speaker's Corner at Hyde Park in 1966.
Seven or eight well lubricated US airman, fresh from Sunday services at a pub on Bayswater Road, watching two long haired American students unravelling an American flag and getting out the zippo.
To the delight of the English crowd, a farm boy from Minnesota, in civies as was our orders, dryly asked one of the hippies how he planned to remove the flaming flag pole from his ass.
Garrido, and his 54-year-old wife, Nancy Garrido, pleaded not guilty on Friday to a total of 29 charges related to the kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard from her South Lake Tahoe, California neighborhood in June 1991.
Dugard, now 29, was found after a parole officer for Garrido became suspicious, prompting a search of his home about 100 miles southwest of where she was abducted.
During their search, police turned up a hidden backyard within the home's backyard, where police believe, Garrido housed Dugard and their two children, ages 11 and 15, in sheds and tents in squalid conditions.
Decliners were led by sea transport, warehouse, and iron and steel issues. Major gainers included insurance, precision machinery, and pulp and paper issues.
Wall Street declined Monday after a sharp drop of nearly 7 percent in Shanghai stocks triggered concerns about the health of the world economy.

Investors also fretted about continued weakness in the U.S. dollar, which was trading in the upper 92 yen range in the morning in Tokyo, as it erodes Japanese exporters' overseas profits when they are repatriated.

Wind turbine neighbors describe “hell on Earth” Low-level hum from wind turbines is sickening scores of Australians and driving many from their rural homes, according to ninemsn.com. Residents describe motion sickness, sleeplessness, irritability and other physical and psychological problems as a result of living near some of the 128 turbines. “It’s not renewable energy, it’s renewable misery,” said one neighbor. “It’s not a wind farm, it’s wind factory.” Wind developers said sound levels comply with government limits, but neighbors say the sound is too low frequency to be heard and is felt instead. http://tinyurl.com/windhell

Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 31 (PTI) Mobile towers are posing a threat to honey bees in Kerala withe electromagnetic radiation from mobile towers and cell phones having the potential to kill worker bees that go out to collect nectar from flowers, says a study.
A plunge in beehive population has been reported from different parts of Kerala and if measures are not taken to check mushrooming of mobile powers, bees could be wiped out from Kerala within a decade, environmentalist and Reader in Zoology, Dr Sainudeen Pattazhy says in his study.
In one of his experiments he found that when a mobile phone was kept near a beehive it resulted in collapse of the colony in five to 10 days, with the worker bees failing to return home, leaving the hives with just queens, eggs and hive-bound immature bees.
Here in Ideeho the cows don't give milk if they are near the cell phone towers, I'm told by those who should know.
If I were a pregnant woman I wouldn't live near a cell phone tower. It's what happened to Ash, foul defacer of God's handiwork.

To spell it with a "k" does send different messages. The one I intended, not the one perceived by the average reader. It is, because of that, I have not used it again. The message I was trying to convey was not the one that was delivered. So I found other ways to describe the Federal Socialist State that our government has evolved into.
Those agave plants are a wonder, grow really well, if watered just a little. Easily transplanted, we grew a fence of them at my brothers place.
Became quite the obstacle. Another desert cacti that creates a dandy fence, the ocotillo. Planted a couple of feet apart, they grow and entwine themselves amongst themselves.
But still, doug, switch grass or Sweet Sorghum are the plants that would be the most commercially viable, on marginal farm lands.
Francisco Alcazar, Patron's master distiller, said: "We are getting away from the idea that tequila is a cheap, mass-produced spirit to show the true tequila, made from the highest-quality agaves and with a taste that appeals to the sophisticated palate. This is a drink made to be enjoyed in the same manner as a good single malt.
An oak-aged tequila can be justifiably compared in complexity with a fine whisky."
Thomasina Miers, the Masterchef winner and broadcaster who set up the Wahaca Mexican restaurant in London, said: "The really good stuff not only tastes delicious when sipped before supper, or mixed in drinks, but it is a really great spirit to cook with. The sugars in the alcohol come from the blue agave cactus soaking the sun's rays for up to 12 years before the cactus is ready to be harvested, so you can look at tequila as sunshine distilled in a bottle."
Yeah, Bubba. I don't like Obama's Socialist/Communist/Anti-American policies I'm a "Racist."

Well, Trish, "Lady Liberty is a Whore" is, in a strange way, sort of an American-type expletive.
ReplyDeleteIt's the kind of thing that would, likely, cause you to rear back, and say, "Why did you say that, Boss?" "What did they do to you, This Time?"
It's a case of, you can get mad and "Insult" my Country (maybe) but you can't, derisively, "Diminish" my Country.
You CAN NOT diminish it with a small "a." I have too much invested to let you do that.
"...unravelling an American flag and getting out the zippo."
ReplyDeleteThat'd definitely do it.
Feel like I'm wandering in some parallel universe.
