And another example of his stellar oversight while controlling the finances of Mass.
No, not Romneycare-
Who here remembers the fiasco that was called "The Big Dig"?
To be fair, he didn't start it, but he didn't change anything on his watch, either.
And don't expect anyone to bring this up until the Republican establishment (and the MSM) make him the nominee, THEN it'll be brought up as another way to take down the Republican candidate...as usual.
But -anyway can anyone tell me "WHO" decided that even if we were on the way to sunning ourselves on the new Riviera of the Northwest Passage, that "THIS" was the "right" temperature for Gaia?
Wouldn't the Medieval Warm Period Climate Anomaly work a little better? I mean, if you can grow grapes out doors in Scotland, and the Sahara is a grassland- what's so horrible about that?
Of course we'd all be suffering heat stroke because of all the blackouts caused by 0bamas EPA and their quest for climate 'stability'.
Or maybe the "Little Ice Age" that might be an 'unintended consequence' for this global climate interference that those smarter than us are trying to implement.
Of course if we tip to the cold side, we wouldn't be able to just go back to belching out CO2 and other 'greenhouse gasses'. We'd have to have some hugely expensive .GOV program to rectify that GlowBull climat change- wouldn't we?
You're buying all these reliable Establishment Republicans to endorse you (like which other RINO would they back) and getting some kind of Qui-pro-Quo on others that obviously threw in their conservative creds on backing you (right Ann?)
Now he's using his connection in the VA GOP to screw over everyone but his buddy Ron Paul in changing the ballot rules in the middle of the game. They decided that NOW they'd be holding candidates to the standard they never used before this election.
And in yet another reason to NOT vote for Obama lite- Romney has his people in VA forcing any Republican who wants to vote in the primary signing a "Loyalty Oath" to vote for whoever comes out on top of that two person rigged ballot.
Is the ACLU going to jump in here about unrealistic voting requirements?
Kinda reminds you of someone else using scorched earth politics in using his political power to grind over political problems throw problems under the bus.
You can't always tell what someone looks like from a voice on the radio. This is the second time I've seen Mark Stein, but have an image of him from Rush's radio that doesn't match the reality.
The only reason RP is ahead in Iowa is that there IS no reason for Ron to be ahead in Iowa- except foe his bots (and probably the Dems own version of Operation Chaos)
The guy who should be in the lead right now isn't even running for President- instead he's being interviewed on talk shows.
The first naval construction unit to actually deploy from the United States left Davisville, Rhode Island, less than two weeks later on January 17, 1942. It was designated the First Construction Detachment. The 296 men arrived at Bora Bora on February 17, 1942.
On March 5, all Construction Battalion personnel were officially named Seabees by the Navy Department. Admiral Moreell personally furnished them with their motto Construmus Batumius, or We Build, We Fight. A logo, the Fighting Bee, was created by a Rhode Islander at Davisville.
The Navy built their Battalions with experienced, highly skilled craftsmen … electricians, carpenters, plumbers, equipment operators — virtually any construction or building trade was welcome in the Seabees. Seabee units were quickly engaged in construction and combat. By July 1942, the first Naval Construction Battalion landed on Midway Island to begin work on the new airstrip on Sand Island and to start the massive clean up of damage caused by the Japanese bombing.
From the construction and defense of Henderson Field on Guadalcanal to the Normandy Invasion. Seabees participated in every major amphibious assault in World War II. They quickly earned a reputation for exceptional creativity. If materials weren’t available, the Seabees used whatever they could to get the job done.
Building a pipeline out of old 55 Gal drums
More than 325,000 men served with the Seabees in World War II, fighting and building in more than 400 locations before the war's end. They knew more than 60 skilled trades. In addition, nearly 8,000 Civil Engineer Corps officers served with the Seabees
NOTE--My battalion lost almost a quarter of their compliment assaulting Iwo Jima.
What was needed after the successful Marianas campaign was an emergency landing field much closer to the Japanese homeland that would service crippled bombers returning from raids and enable shorter- ranged fighter planes to accompany the giant bombers to their targets. The island chosen for this purpose was Iwo Jima, scene of some of the most savage fighting of the war. On 19 February 1945, the Fifth Amphibious Corps, which included the 133rd Naval Construction Battalion and elements of the 31st Naval Construction Battalion, hit the beaches. During the assault, the 133rd Naval Construction Battalion had the dubious honor of suffering more men killed or wounded than any other Seabee battalion in any previous or subsequent engagement. Although only minor construction was accomplished during the first ten days of the operation, the Seabees later built one crucial emergency landing field and fighter airstrips so desperately needed by the Allies.
The Seabees also played a key role in the last big operation of the island war, the seizure of Okinawa. The main invasion forces landed on Okinawa's west coast Hagushi beaches on Easter Sunday, 1 April 1945. Off the amphibious landing craft and over pontoons placed by the 130th Naval Construction Battalion went the 24th Army Corps and Third Amphibious Corps. Right beside them were the 58th, 71st and 145th Naval Construction Battalions. A few days later, two additional Naval Construction Battalions, the 44th and 130th, landed. The fighting was heavy and prolonged, and organized resistance did not cease until 21 June 1945.
The Seabees' task on Okinawa was truly immense. On this agrarian island, whose physical facilities a fierce bombardment had all but destroyed, they built ocean ports, a grid of roads, bomber and fighter fields, a seaplane base, quonset villages, tank farms, storage dumps, hospitals, and ship repair facilities.
Nearly 55,000 Seabees, organized into four brigades, participated in Okinawa construction operations. By the beginning of August 1945, sufficient facilities, supplies, and manpower were at hand to mount an invasion of the Japanese home islands.
While the Allied forces in the Philippines and on Okinawa were readying themselves for the final battles that would get them to Tokyo and complete the roads to victory, decisive events were taking place elsewhere, on the island of Tinian in the Marianas.
During the summer of 1945, the USS Indianapolis (CA-35) arrived at Tinian from the Naval Weapons Center at Port Chicago, California. Seabees of the Sixth Naval Construction Brigade helped with the unloading of the components of a newly- developed weapon. The Seabees then stored the elements in a shed built by themselves, and organized a detachment to guard the shed and its mysterious contents. Scientists assembled the weapon in the shed with several Seabees assisting as handymen.
Maybe we did put the fear of G-D in them.
(Ok, maybe the frear of re-election...)
A glimmer of "true grit" is emerging in the U.S. Senate, where Republican lawmakers are refusing to adjourn the Senate for the year, because while in session they have the ability to prevent confirmation of Obama appointments.
In doing so, this will 'neutralize' President Obama from making any "recess appointments," thereby thwarting the confirmation process, particularly with the now very controversial National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
The same NRLB who sued Boeing for trying to work with non-union labor.
The same NRLB who wants to shove card-check down companies throats to make it easier for their union thugs to take over right-to-work states.
If I remember right, it was like 4-6 months ago that President Moneybags got the Republicans to cave on a debt ceiling that was supposed to last until after Nov.2012.
For that USA TODAY/Gallup Poll which put Hillary and King Putt at the top of the most admired.
USA Today doesn't tell who they asked, but looking at the answers let me know it wasn't flyover country.
Judith Hurt, 53, of Willoughby, Ohio, just had fun with the question.
"I'm not into politics so I went with the people I really admire —George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez," she says.
Clooney's sexy smile reminds Hurt of the actor's aunt, Rosemary Clooney who crooned in Hurt's favorite movie, White Christmas.
As for singer Lopez, Hurt says, "She's come so far. She's a mom of twins and she still looks hot!"
Some dooshbag Liberal actor and an unmarried mother who- at least isn't on welfare.
Because the existing one is broken.
Because 'someone' just has to fall into the thing no matter how much she's told not to. This will be the second thing she's broken buy falling into it.
Anyway, we're looking at sofas -no leather or pleather TYVM because we have dogs, and the only ones I want to afford are either the wrong color or don't feel just right.
So we ended up at the pawn shop I saw those four pump .22s. There are three now, but we found one she could feel comfortable using. It's an off brand called "Permier" that the guy said was sold at retail stores- way back in the day. That is the only thing on it besides the .22 LR-L-Short and the S/N.
According to THR it's either a Savage or a Stevens take-off of a Savage...or a Mossberg. I think it's worth $300- especially if she likes it....and I can shoot it.
We went to my favorite gun shop, and they didn't have anything we were interested in- between Christmas and the two best gun salesmen in modern times they were shy of almost all but the unpopular guns- and on backorder because of nationwide demand.
She is the one who will be the first second Democrat to send American citizens to detention camps.
She is presiding over what -if it were a Republican administration would have the ACLU and all the other fellow travelers up in arms about the encroachment of the evil NAZI Rethuglicans.
Because we all know how much he loves the Chosen People.
And he and Mittens think they got a Christmas present from the primary in Va.
But that two candidate ballot might end up being a lump of coal if everyone decides to stay home in droves- because of the non-choice they have.
We got the final things for the Christmas feast tomorrow.
As we were going down the list, toilet paper came up and she asked if we really needed any because we still had two fresh rolls and I told her yes, because two is one- and one is none.
I saw this ad for a job replacing electric meters in San Antonio that was promising from $16- $18/hr. so I wrote this: Subject: FIELD TECHNICIANS Are Needed (san antonio, TX)
Hello,

Just out of curiosity, what would something coded like this
(b class="yiv898415703cikoxy")
do if it were hidden in every line of the text?
So, what do you think UBF stands for? YOU BE F-ED?
We have Bob Dole who's turn it was to lose to Slick Willey before President "No new taxes" who lost to President Happy Pants is now endorsing the establishment candidate in his turn to lose to the Democrat.
I mean who would have ever seen this coming two months after it became legal for same sex shows of affection?
That we have some good gay picked up for widespread distribution.
So... how many Yeomen sat around for days looking at all the lottery entries to find a couple who weren't two guys and hot?
Just so THAT name could be pulled from a random drawing.
No, there wasn't any pressure from up top to find good gay at all. Gawd really wanted the world to see how PC tolerant the new Navy is.
And Karen mentioned that she'd like to take a stab at a crossbow.
I found one at Academy for a closeout price of $120- plus the cocker.
So, I said lets wait on that, since it'll be used about five times...
I ended up at one of our bigger pawn shops looking at a set of four .22 pumps. Two were Wins, one was a Rem. and the other I thought he said was an Ithica was a Stevens. All were old and dirty and the two I looked at seemed to have not bad action.
Both had rear sites that looked like someone took a chainsaw file to them. Srylsy. I'd say the rounded notch was a good 3/16" wide.
So now I'm looking at aftermarket peep sites.
Is there a "better" way to ad one- either tang mounted or receiver mount?
I'm guessing either one will need to be drilled and tapped.
