(BBC) - Police in the US are investigating a detective who appears to draw his gun during a mass snowball fight on the streets of Washington DC.
Police say they are looking into reports that the plain-clothed police officer stepped out of his own vehicle and drew his weapon after his car had been hit by snowballs.
Not cool. Never brandish a piece to intimidate anyone. That weapon clears your holster only when you are ready to use it.

ReplyDeleteUK Brown calls for new group to Police global environment issues...
The Prime Minister will say: “Never again should we face the deadlock that threatened to pull down those talks. Never again should we let a global deal to move towards a greener future be held to ransom by only a handful of countries. One of the frustrations for me was the lack of a global body with the sole responsibility for environmental stewardship.

I'm just following bob's exhortation to argue by ridicule. All that schmaltzy pining for MLD screams out for it and boobie is an appropriate term when he starts screeching about others idiocy:
ReplyDelete"Their name was possibly based on the Spanish slang term bobo, meaning "dunce", as these tame birds had a habit of landing on board sailing ships, where they were easily captured and eaten. Owing to this, boobies are often mentioned as having been caught and eaten by shipwrecked sailors, notably Captain Bligh of the Bounty and his loyalists, during their famous voyage after being set adrift by Fletcher Christian and his mutineers"

ReplyDeleteCommunist agents pass for run-of-the-mill liberals in our elite institutions.
Something's rotten in the State Department and DC.
Nonetheless, during the couple’s time in Washington, nothing about Mr. Myers seemed exceptional. He fit right in with his anti-American attitudes and bitter fury at U.S. policies — his “deep and long-standing anger toward his country,” as court documents put it. “To his liberal neighbors in Northwest D.C. it was nothing out of the ordinary,” according to the Washington Post. “We were all appalled by the Bush years,” volunteered a neighbor.
Yeah, it's like a form of bullying.
ReplyDeleteVerbal bullying can also involve sending cruel instant or email messages or even posting insults about a person on a website — practices that are known as cyberbullying.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most painful aspects of bullying is that it is relentless. Most people can take one episode of teasing or name calling or being shunned at the mall. However, when it goes on and on, bullying can put a person in a state of constant fear.
Makes you wonder how many "Myers" are walking the streets....

The PC reference in my post above was for "parenthetical clause" as opposed to politically correct.
ReplyDeleteAfter you jumped on someone over mis-use of a comma, I noticed one of your posts made up of one sentence that ran about four inches on the page. It was made up of a whole string of parenthetical clauses and phrases making it very difficult to read.
I re-read it three or for times and still had a hard time understanding it. So I thought this would be a good opportunity to stick it to the girl (that is, in the sense of turn the tables on her of course.) I assumed there was no way this could be grammatically correct.
So I checked it out with spell/grammar check and, to my surprise and admittedly to my disappointment, there was not one red, green, or blue underline.
I have to admit it girl, you do know your punctuation.

ReplyDeleteDefense Contracts
ReplyDeleteShould DOD consider US jobs when awarding defense contracts?
"The DOD is not a social-service organization," said Jacques Gansler, who served as the Pentagon's top weapons buyer in the Clinton administration. "Its mission is providing national security for the nation. Its mission is not to provide subsidies for jobs. The DOD is not in the business of employing people for the sake of employing them."

"This is the only country in the world where major weapons contracts are awarded without any thought to their economic impact," said Loren Thompson, a defense industry consultant at the Lexington Institute.

Winners and Losers on Healthcare
ReplyDelete"The analysis, done by the Democratic polling firm of Bennett, Petts & Normington and obtained by the Fix, concludes that "large losses of more than 20 seats have only occurred when the president's approval rating has fallen significantly below 50 percent."
The four elections in which significant seat shifts happened -- 1978 (Democrats lost 15), 1982 (Republicans lost 26), 1994 (Democrats lost 54) and 2006 (Republicans lost 30) -- all corresponded with weak presidential job-approval numbers in the two months before voters cast ballots.
By contrast, in the four midterms in which the president carried an approval rating above 50 percent, his party either gained seats (in 1998 and 2002) or suffered minimal defeats -- a five-seat GOP setback for Ronald Reagan in 1986 and an eight-seat loss for George H.W. Bush in 1990.
Given the conclusiveness of that data,[ ? ] both parties are right to keep a close eye on Obama's standing with the American people over the next 10 months. In the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll, 50 percent of the public approved of the job Obama was doing, data consistent with other surveys gauging perception of the president's job performance.
If that number goes up by five percentage points between now and Election Day 2010, history suggests Democrats will be looking at small-scale losses in the House. If it goes down by five points, the party's 40-seat majority could well be cut by half (or more)."

Illuminating the the Human Cost of War: "The Good Soldiers"
ReplyDeleteFor millions of Americans who are disconnected from that experience, "The Good Soldiers" offers one tenuous, luminous thread to that distant world.
"They were soldiers whose choices had ended when they had signed contracts and taken their oaths," Finkel writes. "Whether they had joined for reasons of patriotism, of romantic notions, to escape a broken home of some sort, or out of economic need, their job now was to follow the orders of other soldiers who were following orders, too. Somewhere, far from Iraq, was where the orders began, but by the time they reached Rustamiyah, the only choice left for a soldier was to choose which lucky charm to tuck behind his body armor, or which foot to line up in front of the other, as he went out to follow the order of the day."

Opposition Leaders Funeral Spurs Protests in Iran
ReplyDeleteThe political opposition remains a strong force in Iran. They can't be ignored in the debate on what the US should be doing with regard to Iran's nuclear program. Any overt actions by the US would likely unite the country against us. Probably one of the factors in Adminijabber's policy of trying to push confrontation.
"The funeral of a founding father of Iran’s Islamic revolution now embraced as the spiritual leader of the reform movement became a vast opposition protest on Monday, as mourners flooded the holy city of Qum and faced off with Iranian security forces and the volunteer Basij militia…
Ayatollah Montazeri was widely regarded as the most knowledgeable religious scholar in Iran, and that gave his criticisms special potency, analysts say. His religious credentials also prevented the authorities from silencing or jailing him. Last month, he stunned many in Iran and abroad by apologizing for his role in the 1979 takeover of the American Embassy in Tehran, which he called a mistake. Iran’s leaders celebrate the takeover every year as a foundational event of the Islamic revolution…"

Ah. A little editin'. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThe link's the same but discretion is the better part of valor.
ReplyDeleteA lesson I'm oft reminded of. After the fact.
ReplyDeleteA small number of Iranian troops entered Iraq, where they took control of an oil well and raised the Iranian flag Dec. 18. The Iranian-Iraqi border in this region is poorly defined and is contested, with the Iranians claiming this well is in Iranian territory not returned after the Iran-Iraq War.
ReplyDelete...
Multiple sources have reported that Tehran ordered the incident. The Iranian government is aware that Washington has said the end of 2009 was to be the deadline for taking action against Iran over its nuclear program — and that according to a White House source, the United States could extend that deadline to Jan. 15, 2010.
...
Iran’s problem becomes clear when we consider Tehran’s options. These options fall into three groups:
1. Interdicting the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf through the use of mines and anti-ship missiles. This would result in a dramatic increase in world oil prices on the Iranian attempt alone and could keep them high if Tehran’s efforts succeeded.
...
2. Causing massive destabilization in Iraq. The Iranians retain allies and agents in Iraq, which has been experiencing increased violence and destabilization over the past months.
...
3. Use Hezbollah to initiate a conflict with Israel, and as a global tool for terrorist attacks on American and allied targets. Hezbollah is far more sophisticated and effective than al Qaeda was at its height, and would be a formidable threat should Iran choose — and Hezbollah agree — to play this role.

One possible direction may be the use of an informal currency based on caliber rather than some arbitrary denomination of a bankrupt gummint.
Word problem: John has 3 x 50 Caliber rounds, 7 .45 ACP, and a 50-round box of subsonic .22. If he trades the box of .22 with Julie for a head of cabbage, two onions and one live chicken, can she make change if she only has a box of 25 Russian 9mm cartridges?
Or a currency of canned goods. 1 can of Danish Ham = 6 cans of tuna = 12 cans of peaches = 18 cans of beans & weenies = 36 cans of Puppy Chow.
“This case of condensed milk is redeemable for 1 pound of SPAM at any location…”

ReplyDeleteHere is my two cents about climate change...
ReplyDeleteThe global alarmists are predicting a increase in temp's will cause the destruction of what we know as the earth....
Siberia used to be a cold place but not anymore.. the alarmists are complaining that the "peat bogs" of siberia are warming up and giving off methane gas ( a bad gas)...
My query...
If the PEAT BOGS exist, and the are NOT that old (in geologic time) the siberia HAD to be warmer, in the NOT to distant past.
Fact facts, there was no human internal combustion engines around the planet the last time the BOGS were in fact FORMING...
So if the BOGs in fact do exist, then in fact it was WARMER not to long ago in Siberia....
Then why would it be so terrible if the planet warmed up again?
Siberia, Canada, Chicago, Iceland, Greenland, Alaska would all benefit...
Who would really loose?
The people of the desert for one...
I can live with the Sahara, the Gobi & death valley being 3 degrees warmer...
So now I am a PROPONENT of Global Warming...
I want the Sahara to be hotter...

ReplyDeleteThe only thing I wear is body lotion and again the scent has to be just right. And when you find that, just right scent, it always seems to get discontinued. Of course, I find the ultimate lotion that is just right and when I went back to buy more I couldn't find it. So I asked the girl if they discontinued it so we look all around and of course we couldn't find it. So she helped me pick out a new scent. I tried it. I like it. I bought it. I used it everyday for two weeks and then had to go find it in my daughter's room. She said, "Wow, Mom I really like that stuff." I'm sitting there talking to her and tossing the tube in the air and looked down to read it and I couldn't believe my eyes. For the past two weeks my daughter and I relished in the sheer elegance of hair gel.
Yup! The girl sold me hair lotion in place of body lotion. I wandered why it was sticky for a second after I put it on.
I've been using Rusk Calm body lotion ever since.

Unfortunately it also means members of your tribe in the Levant will say, "It Isreali hot" too.
members of MY tribe dont say "isreali anything"
As for what israelis might say with warmer weather?
Let's create micro climate with drip irrigation and make alush tropics where we can grow rareplants and harvest medicines...

ReplyDeleteAll you need is a small reload press, for everything but rimfire .22s.
Those .22s, you'll need well over 10,000 rounds at a minimum. A semi auto handgun and rifle for each member of the family, along with a scoped rifle for small game at distance.
For center fire and shot gun rounds, the powder stores best outside the brass.
If you think push will come to shove.
But if you think you'll be trading ammo for food, your shit will be stinkin', regardless.
If you're not in a settled small town, part of an established community of friends and neighbors, you or any other "survivalist" will be easy meat.
The lone mountain man always was, go watch Jeremiah Johnson, there are real survivalist lessons in it.
It is much more the reality than "I am Legend".
We have a group of 6-8 families that have 200 acres we can get to about 1 hour away in southern ohio...
We are all working both independently and together on a variety of situations.
I am looking to purchase some land with water and a cave in my own neck of the woods...
If i can figure it correct, I will be able to write it too...

ReplyDeleteBottom Line: If the U.S. manufacturing sector were a separate country, it would be tied with Germany as the world's third largest economy. It would also be larger than the entire economies of India and Russia combined.
ReplyDeleteU.S. Manufacturing - World's 3rd Largest GDP
That's the one I bought last summer for about $550. It's still in the box. I like my old Compaq with Windows XP. Once I got the Avast AV package Doug recommended, the bugs disappeared in the old one that I thought was fixin' to crash. I'll get around to using the new one one of these days.
ReplyDeleteIf a Dairy Farmer can afford a robot that can identify a cow, then identify the teats, then position the tubes on the teats, and milk the cow,
ReplyDeleteThere's not a job on an assembly line anywhere in the world that can't be done cheaper, and more efficiently by a robot.
The people with the Capital would seem to come out alright; but what about the "workers?"
And, then again, how can the ex-worker afford to buy the product?
THIS IS Truly going to be the question of the 21st Century. And, not the "2nd" half of the century, either.
"Bottom Line: If the U.S. manufacturing sector were a separate country, it would be tied with Germany as the world's third largest economy. It would also be larger than the entire economies of India and Russia combined."
ReplyDeleteOn a percentage of GDP basis, US manufacturing contributes less than half of what it did 50 years ago to the economy.
Grasshopper, when you can remove this pebble from my hand you will be ready.
You are not yet ready.

Of course, that was, also, the "question" of the first half of the 18th Century.

Is it "different" this time?
That's not the point, Q. It's still Massive.
ReplyDeleteIt's just that the "economy" as a whole has grown even faster.
Look, Q, that Dell Inspiron, while allowing the "service" part of the economy to grow faster than the year 2000 model, contributed only 1/3 as much to GDP by its manufacture and sale.
ReplyDeleteOr, another way, my Impala cost a Lot less in hrs worked than my first car, a 62' ford galaxy. But, the maintenance is considerably less, and it will easily last four times as long.
ReplyDeletePebble's gone ain't it, Master?
ReplyDeleteNaw, Ruf, I just moved it to the other hand. You have to watch close grasshopper.
ReplyDeleteWhat you have said is true; however, you seem to ignore all but the obvious implications of it. Two streams back on the “Stealth Reparations – The Racial Implications of Healthcare” blog, I left you a rather lengthy response to your, in my opinion, rather Pollyannaish comments about the economy, unfunded liabilities, healthcare costs, etc. It was at the end of the stream, right before T’s usual “you don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here” speech, so you might not have seen it.
However, the point was that when things are expanding exponentially, they will continue to do so until they don’t, and then the shit hits the fan. A point you seem indifferent to.
You have pointed out the miracles brought about by productivity. The majority of that progress we've seen has been because of Moore’s Law as applied to technological improvements made possible by smaller, more powerful chips. Chips keep getting smaller and their capacity doubles every couple of years. This affects everything, computers, digital cameras, test equipment, manufacturing equipment, robots, and on and on.
I was watching the Science Channel tonight and saw a program on Henrich Schohn. It reminded me that today’s chips are silicon based and at the current pace of innovation, in ten years, transistors will be down to atom size. Beyond that size, the silicon falls apart. That means we will not be able to count on the same productivity gains we have experienced in the past without some new leap forward into another technology. Will we get it in ten years? There’s a good chance. There are a number of technologies people are looking at. Should we assume one will be there on time? At a similar cost? I guess it depends on your philosophy, ant or grasshopper.
Further, GDP growth is based on two factors, increases in productivity and increases in the amount of people working. Robots may increase productivity but they don’t buy a damn thing.
Anyway, I guess all I'm saying is that I see a shit storm coming in the next 10-15 years, and it pisses me off that you damn grasshoppers are so damned happy all the time.
:)

ReplyDeleteI've been pretty much out of the loop, working and all for the first half of this week, but if you mean that Bobal is gone that's a crying shame. He and I made a connection a few years back over a shared love of Huckleberry Finn and he's been one of my favorites.

ReplyDeleteJob security for me, I'm the girl that fixes the robots. They can't get robots to do that.
T, he'll be back. He just needs to cool down and realize that staying away only makes the bully sit back with a grin, thinking he's had the last word.
ReplyDeleteYou know how I feel about guns.
ReplyDeleteHow would I know how you feel about guns. Why would I care?
And y'all took away my knight and shining armor.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Bob goes, he ran away, as is his habit, if you haven't noticed.
Don't worry. He'll come slinking back. Another habit. He can't resist slatterns.
"Job security for me, I'm the girl that fixes the robots. They can't get robots to do that."
ReplyDeleteYet.
Google 'grey goo'.
Remember, nanotechnology and the the von Nuemann machines?
Hell, T, haven't you seen any of the terminator movies?

Well, now I think I'm going to have agree with, Bob.
