Happy Labor Day weekend

Try not to do something U-toob worthy :-)

So, what was Kurt up to today?

Nothing, just the old grind...

Nerdspace

Yep, me too.

Pontiac was still making Firebirds into the 2000's?

No wonder we had to bail out GM for $50 Billion...

And I'm still waiting for the "Tee" that says "$50 billion and I didn't even get a truck out of the deal"

Everything is a crisis

...And when you have a crisis things must happen in the fierce urgency of 'now!'*

Right?

Anyway, it just occurred to me that I was half right on my prediction of those "credible threats" to our mid-east embassies.

Ok so nothing happened
AND
I was wrong(so far) that the NSA would take credit for stopping them via their massive privacy invasion of American citizens.

Now, since we haven't heard- are those Embassies still empty, or did someone in this administration grow a pair and tell people  to go back?




* Seems I remeber something like that from 0bamas favorite author Saul David Alinsky .

A space filler

Chicks with guns!

And something to make Liberals wet their pants-

This is why the Republicans are going to lose again

According to Newsmax up at the RNC meeting last Thursday  in Bhaaastin, Chris Christie wowed them all.

Those that they call conservatives are fine with running the RINO Christie for our next presidential loser in 2016.

Asked if Christie could be an attractive candidate in parts of the country outside the Northeast, Phillips shot back: "You bet he'd be. He's not Mitt Romney, who doesn't have a hair out of place and looks as though he stepped out of [GQ]. He looks and talks like a regular guy, and that is appealing everywhere. If Christie runs, he's a candidate I'd strongly consider backing for nomination."
 Of course you would, that's why we had McRINO and Romney the last two times.

And they stand there and look at the icebergs as they  buy their tickes on the Titanic...
Duprey also praised Christie's speech, saying he "really drew cheers when he recalled how he's not afraid to take on public-employee unions. And we liked when he said the way to succeed in politics is to say what you're going to do and do it."

Stressing that he must remain neutral in the 2016 race because of his party office, Duprey did say he "liked when Gov. Christie said people would disagree with him and that when you want someone who will agree with you all the time, 'Look in the mirror.'"

"In many ways he's like John McCain at all those town meetings. I was with him in the New Hampshire primaries in '08 and '12. He's not afraid to tell people when he doesn't agree with them," Duprey said.

Jeezus!

Homeward bound

For John, the Feral Irishman-
Here's my trip home, if it did it on the way to work, all you'd see was headlights and tail lights.



Sorry about the video and sound quality- I don't have a high tech window suction holder, just a 12GA wire from work......


UPDATE-
Changed the settings...
Try it now Angus.

UPDATE (the second)
Bonus points to those who can tell which military base i was leaving.

I know- I'm an evil, unfeeling Conservative

But I just can't dredge up any sympathy for the rich 1% in Maratha's Vineyard who voted their Chicago Jeezus in...twice.

Even After he showed how he appreciates them in his first term.

All I can say is 'It sucks to be you"- I guess. Enjoy your god-king.

The clouds

They sit over there and mock us........

Ummm.......... Wow...in such a weird way

A complete Escher staircase of performance art.
That only an Arts Appreciation major could decipher:

Flash!

AHH-Yaaahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry couldn't help it- have a happy Monday

Remember the msm jumping on Romney about his dog?

The one where they didn't have room in the wagon?

At least they found a way to bring him along WITH them, instead of as baggage as a second thought ...because he might look good in some photo-op.

How many BBs is the first bricklayer planning on losing?

Testing

Just wondering if it was the content of the picture or the fact that it came from Wirecutter that Fb wouldn't let me post a link.

It's kinda gross, so I'm putting it under the fold.

UPDATE--
 It's not anyone I know, I just stole it from Wirecutters blog.
That really must have hurt when all that painkiller wore off.

You heard it here first

Remember that next week when little, or nothing happens from our closed Embassies and threats to "The Homeland" (WTF.... do they mean America?) where you heard it first.

After it's all said and done, we'll be hearing about how the massive, all-encompassing illegal spying on Americans stopped whatever it was they claimed was going to happen.......and they need to protect us even harder!.

UPDATE:

--Oh! Look! they're bombing people they can say were terrorists, just like Bill Clinton did during Monica-Gate.

UAV missiles +40...American privacy.... dead.

1,000 word essay on dogs

Mike Rowe distills Liberalism down

I don't know if he meant to do this, or it just happened.
I know his Silicone Valley audience didn't groke it.

Anyway Mike distills the Liberal mindset about feelings instead of results in about six minutes:






H/T to...I can't remember :-(

Your earworm for today

Because I like to share things:


Brought on,,, ironically from these guys:

Well, isn't that refreshing?

See- we don't have a Cowboy in the White House now, so we can prctice all the "Smart Diplomacy" the Democrats want.

Then they're surprised when a real leader- who knows whats best for his country makes a move without telling a panty-waist White house what he's doing.

So Snowden has safe (as possible in Putins Russia) harbor and the 0boma administration is caught flat-footed again.

BUT they want to convey how deeply disappointed they are with their fellow communists for making them look weak and flailing.

Assad knows an Anti-Midas when he sees one

I guess he knows for sure that 0bama is going to do more than just speachify his support to the rebels, otherwise he wouldn't be so sure of victory.
