Zen and the art of job creation

So the Inept One wants ideas on getting more jobs opened up.
Given that every job his Porkulus package 'created or saved' came in somewhere in the window of $250,000 and $750,000- depending on what the Czar of pulling numbers out of his @ss says.

I have an idea that will help cut down on 0bamas newly discovered thrift bone.

Let me have a grant of $100K $120,000 (since I'll have to pay taxes) and I'll be sure there is a job open at my place of employment as soon as the check clears the bank. I'll even be generous and make it a two year opening to show my bipartisanship.



The Unicorn Rider is making lots of new friends in Oslo, isn't he?
AND there are still people making excuses for his selfishness lack of grace

Kearnies!

Bugs.
Split bolts.

It's only ok to leave them naked like this if they're on a bare conductor at least 35' in the air.
These are going inside a light pole.


What would be nice is to first wrap them with the liner that so thoughtfully comes with the self fusing splicing tape:


The splicing tape is wrapped to provide electrical insulation, a bit of water resistance and a rubber buffer to any sharp parts that may want to pierce the outer wrap.


This plastic electric tape that you are most familiar with is mostly to protect the soft rubber tape.


The reason I like to use a liner before putting the rubber tape on, is the fact that I've had too much of peeling that self fusing rubber tape off when it begins to adhere to the metal Kearney at a molecular level.

Making the best of it

I'm making stew tonight.
As I'm using Walmart meat- I just cut it up, threw in the potatoes, carrots and the spices.
I didn't add water because I knew that all the water Wally-world ads to their meat would cook out almost enough for a nice thick stew.

Tis the season

When I was a SeaBee

We shot M-16A1's.
I shot either Expert or Marksman/Sharpshooter (whatever the missing Expert by 2- 3 poins was).
We were taught by Marine Gunnies about how to properly hold our weapons for maximum accuracy (and concealment).

I remember being told, when standing-to keep my left elbow tucked to my ribcage to help support barrel with less wiggling. So when I shot then, my left hand was not a far distance from the mag well.
I still shoot this way.


Anyway, Rob has a post about a new forward sloping grip to replace that tacitikeewl vertical grip on EBRs.
I was going to make a snarky comment about paying $50 to let them put your hand on the fore stock, but clicked the link. Dood, they have science and stuff to back up their new grip-that's-almost-like-oldskool-hand-on-the-stock $35 FSG (plus tax and new hardware).

After looking at their site and seeing where they're all putting their hands (as far forward as they can), I know I'd probably not be able to get near the center of mass that way.
I'd probably be lucky to keep them all on the paper at 25 yds.
And if I'm not standing, I still wrap the sling around my forearm if I have one.



My pistol grip is completely f*cked-up as you can see in the header.
(I can also make a dinner plate size grouping at 25 yds with it.)

I don't care about Tiger

But this is funny, and you know it.

So are these jokes I stole from GuyK:
One: Tiger Woods is so rich that he owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole in one.
Two: What's the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.
Three: Tiger Woods wasn't seriously injured in the crash, but he's still below par.
Four:: What were Tiger Woods and his wife doing out at 2.30 in the morning? They went clubbing
Five: Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron.
Six: Perhaps Tiger should be using a driver?
Seven: This is the first time Tiger’s ever failed to drive 300 yards
Eight: Apparently, Tiger admitted this crash was the closest shave he’s ever had. So Gillette has dropped his contract.
Nine: After a wayward drive, Tiger Woods found water before nestling behind a tree
Ten: Apparently, the only person who can beat Tiger Woods with a golf club is his wife

How inappropriate!

A little judicious editing, a little cut and splice and WALLAH.

An R-rated "Frosty"



Now we're hearing about cBS running this as a trailer. Has anyone actually *SEEN* it?
Because the only way I can see this geting on cBS is that this CD got mixed up with the one *NOT* meant for the station Christmas Xmas party.

Ummm.....maybenot

Politico has an idea that those Blue Dogs retiring from D.C. might probably be a good thing.

See we the Republicans will probably gain seats in the 2010 elections- BUT those Dems don't have to worry about getting re-elected again, do they?

Tennessee Rep. John Tanner’s decision to step down at the end of his term has Democrats worried that a trickle of retirements will turn into a flood.

Democrats won their majority in 2006 — and built on it in 2008 — in large part by running conservative Democrats in Republican-leaning districts. But with Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) and Tanner now heading for the exits, there’s growing concern that the party’s strategy may be unraveling just in time for 2010.

“It’s the beginning of an avalanche on our side,” one Democratic strategist said. “Morale is bad, and we’re seeing guys in their 50s and 60s, who have some time left, who can make some money and have a phase two in their careers.”

Which means that they can vote for 0bamakare without even having to step foot in the state(s) they just screwed over and then laterally transfer their cr@p to a new job guaranteed by 'the management'in some capacity 'to make a difference' for their vote.

Oh, how nice

Another fine idea for the Democrats to steal.

I'm sure they'll frame it so it'll magically lower everyones taxes.

Dateline Checheneya:

It looks like several somebodies are going to be very dead soon.

Because unlike President Urkel, Putin isn't going to let those islamic terrorists get away with bombing two of his trains.

Especially after they bragged about it.

"This operation was prepared and executed along with other acts of sabotage... against a set of strategically important sites in Russia, on the orders of Caucasus Emir Dokku Umarov," said a statement on KavkazCenter.com.

The taking of Flight 297

I'm sure you've seen the "real" stories of what happened on Flight 297 Atlanta to Houston by now. Or you will.

The enhanced story goes from an unruly passenger who wouldn't get off his cell phone to a dry-run terrorist hijacking replete with heroes , names and bureaucratic indifference.

As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever met a muslim (and won't be looking for one), but still given their history- wouldn't trust them any farther than I could throw a truck.

That being said- Snopes gives it a mixed verdict.

So make up your own mind.
Personally, I think we should stop all islamic immigration unless they can prove their pro Americanism.
And all you dirty Somalis who snuck in under a fake asylum grant,,,AMF.

I see by the intranetz

That 0bama has really pissed off his base -the lunatic fringe- with his paltry 30,000 troops for only 18 months.
...AND no change in the kid glove treatment of captured terrorists.
...OR the ROE that tie both hands of our fighters.



So now the Anti-American Liberals in the Congress are talking about withholding funding for them.

Let me put on my shamans turban and make some predictions.

First- Alqueda and the taliban will make some big attacks on the new troops, then pull back to cool their heels for the last 12 months of the occupation. Where the loyal lapdogs of the White house Media will crow about how we're winning in A'stan,,,and maybe we can get out even earlier.

Second- Both civilians and the .gov workers know they'll be hung out to dry 18 months from now, so why bust your @ss to help NATO?

Third- everything will quiet down waiting for the last chopper, then it'll look like the Khmer Rouge on steroids.

Fourth- The UN will turn a blind eye to the atrocities because it's only moslims being moslims....kids- what can you do?


I've been right before in my predictions- bookmark me and see a year and a half from now.


OHH, and Lastly- Himself seeing how everyone knows what a whimp he is- will do something stupidly agressive with a disillusioned military and a weak opponent and utterly crush them just to show 'you don't mess with the 0-man'.

Should I?

Should I respond to this craigslist ad and charge the cr@p out of him because he's such a dumb@ss?

I NEED TU FIND OR HAVE U MAKE JEWELRY CABINET


I am looking for a armoire(jewelry cabinet)If u can make one or have a dark asian one email me. (redacted)@yahoo.com

This guy might be some kind of supergenius, but he sounds like an illiterate fool that I could get away with slapping some crappy wood together and charging custom furniture prices for.

The speach that stirred a nation

Sorry, it didn't happen at West Point tonight.

Not once did it rise to the national pride of self preservation and defeating the evil that this one did.

In spite of the teleprompters...



And I didn't hear any exit strategy there, or weighing the cost/benefit of winning vs sneaking out either.

A PSA for the day

During a power outage, a flashlight is your friend.
A candle will work, too- but lets DON'T use white gas in a frying pan.

K? Thnksbyyyyy.

Coming to a bureaucracy near you!

With the ever expanding government in DeeCee, and the humongoulsy intrusive 0amba debacle arriving get used to mindless decrees like this.

After spending over half a million Dollars worth of study, the British Health and Safety Executive has determined that even though nobody goes near them- that bowling alleys needed a barrier in front of the pin setter.
You know, to stop anything from getting near where the pins are that need to be reset.

After two years and £250,000, they found that ten-pin bowling alleys up and down the country could be a 'very dangerous' environment for families.

They concluded that it was too easy for children or teenagers to run down lanes and get trapped in machinery that sets up the pins - even though there was no record of any such accident having happened.

The bizarre Health and Safety Executive report found that members of the public would be at risk if they walked along the 60-foot lanes to knock over pins by hand.

Its authors even considered ordering every bowling alley to put barriers across lanes. But they were forced to admit defeat - after realising that bowlers must be able to see what they are aiming at.

You think those assclowns in Washington wouldn't try something like thatif they get power?

Have I posted this before?

It's two kids making their own brand of music in what is probably some liberal enclave (judging from his hot sister -in one video)
Sorry,,,,

Anyway, they have talent.
Making a multi-track video singing accompaniment to yourself has my admiration.


Really, that's something to reach for.

I'd call these kids musicians more than the over produced modern day "stars".

And this is coming from someone who thinks noise is a byproduct of producing something needed,,,instead of jarring noise just because,,,,,


OH, enjoy the interplay of the two after the song,,,

Hey Cindy!

You washed-up attention whore, if you're so bad against unpiloted drones- why not camp out in Chicago?

They let you do your media thing in a ditch in Crawford- I bet 0bamas Chicago goons would have your circus in jail before you could even get one protest sign up in front of 0bamas house.


Since you want it both ways- your childish tantrums without consequences, welcome to the real world.

And Xan,,,,

Code Pink protester Xan Joy, who physically confronted the man during the incident, called the man a "bully" and said his behavior was meant to intimidate the protesters.

"He should be so happy and grateful that there are people in this country that are trying to protect him and his children and everybody's children from war," Joy said.

,,,I think that vet doesn't need your protection from war.

Stoopid c*nt.
(I can say that, right? Or is that word just reserved for Republican women?)

In your best Forrest Gump voice

Read this:

“Now I know that we are meeting at a time when many business leaders in particular are focused on what the physical changes on our planet and in our ecosphere mean for the former plan for business and the changes that are under way are completely unprecedented, incredibly significant."

That's from a guy who graduated college back when you were supposed to have learned something.

That's the guy who got incredibly filthy rich on spreading the AGW scam on the true believers in the Church of AlGore.

I know that I horribly mangle the english language at times, and cause those who know better want to cover their monitor screen in red edit marks- BUT - I don't get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to preach to the choir.

All I'm looking for is ideas

I'm making pea soup and looking for different ideas in the realm of spices.

What's with the tomato soup addition?

I guess I'll stick to the traditional salt, pepper, garlic, and since we're in Texas- a good splash of red pepper.

In addition to the onions, carrots and about 1 1/2 pounds of ham.

Two hours from now, the final ingredient to stop the natural gastric glowbull gasses.

The fine art of nuance

I know that all Libs luuurrv their subtle signals that us ignarant conservatives miss.

Like how we can't understand the way bowing somehow makes you the superior leader.
Or how rebuffing long time allies while knob=polishing our enemies enhances our standing on the world stage.

BUT....I'm sure a 7th century Afghani tribesman who would be lucky to be barely literate whould see the immediate underlying goal of being paid not to fight you.
I *know* he'd understand that you're doing this from a position of streingth, because that's what he's do to someone in his power.




Siggghhhhhh...........

The Liberal exit strategy when everything else fails:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy your meal.

...And your dessert!

Remember her?

Maybe this will help jog your memory...




Yes the first was his hot cousin Marisleysis his spokesbabe.

You remember the second pic of the usual kid glove treatment the Liberal.gov treats those who become expendable in accommodating dictators.



Happy First Day of the Elian saga.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving

Happy THANKSGIVING!



Ummmm,,,,,,Baily Quarters.....

What is this Arugula that "The Won" speaks of?

I have a nice Iceberg lettuce salad in front of me right now.
Of course it being my salad it's more of a lettuce based toppings delivery system than a healthy meal.

That snobbish specialty lettuce would be wasted under loads of ham, turkey, onion, Honey French w/Thousand Island dressing, shredded sharp cheddar, croutons, bell peppers and whatever else I can fit in the bowl.

I have to ask,,,"Why?"

I was passed on the way home tonight by a mid 80's model Mustang.
The guy was obviously in the rebuilding zone, because it had the off color hood and what sounded like a 302.

But my question of "Why" restore a POS from the 80's still stands.

Dear Democrats,

Hi!

Just wondering... If your *real* idea is to provide health care for every uninsured American (or anyone living here).... wouldn't it be cheaper to just BUY them a policy than to make a humonougsly large unsecured loan from my grand daughter to provide a lifetime job to many uncaring, and unelected bureaucrats?

Just heard on local TeeWee news WOAI ch4

DiddditDAdotdiddit....Breaking news.....

Just announced that women who smoke will produce approximately koffgarble percent more kids who are ADHD than non smokers!

Ok, - so now that there are so many LESS women smoking during pregnancy than there were in the 30's and up to the 70's....

Is that a reason that there are so many rocklings in school dragging down the academic profiles?


Except that in spite of the declining number of smoking mothers- there is an increasing amount of kids being diagnosed for ...acting like KIDS.

It's that time of year again

Where TBS is breaking out all the Christmas standbys.

Right now they have a retrospective of Michelle before she met Barry.

But...If it saves just 'ONE' life...

I thought anything was justified?

Or is it only justified if it imposes the will of the Left?

Now that the .gov is going to be responsible for putting off breast exams for the 40% of women who will have a problem there, and the (koff) unexpected revamping of the PAP smear so it's not *really* needed until much later, it's not worthwhile.
Because the women who will be dead because they didn't get those tests are just statistics.

What's the next recommendation to be pushed back?
Cholesterol tests cost money.

Stress tests cost money.

Insulin costs money- HEY, lets recommend that injections need to be spaced out more.
Yeah, and amputating a leg is much more cost effective than a long term treatment of antibiotics...then you have that costly rehab work.
