Today's smartest person

The O Club

I nominate lotp for great thinker of the univerese, today. And not just because he here speaks my mind with his mouth. Well, yeah, it is.

OS, I fear that the far left is quite aware that they are radicalizing the right, and will use the first instance of violence as an excuse to ditch all but the thinnest veneer of true representational government.

Remember: the far left hates the middle class above all. Their aim is to destabilize, to destroy the day to day orderliness that allows good people to go on with their lives quietly.

So yes, we're under attack. We need to:

Repel the immediate attack
Figure out a strategy
Counterattack - but choose our terrain, timing and methods to give us the best chance of success

Longer term: clear and hold. Which may require Fallujah levels of intense political combat, fighting for every inch and every building. And then fortifying those areas and consolidating gains.

Right now our Fallujah is the health care bill and the sequence of other 'reforms' the far left is pushing in rapid succession (continued)

and then read this from Old Spook -

I always stood outside the political system, because my duty and integrity demanded it.

A lot of us are uncomfortable with becoming personally involved in politics, other than voicing an opinion and filling in our ballots on election day. You can see that in a lot of us vets - like Pappy for instance.

But I'm trying to do what I can -- that's why I went to the caucus, and got my self elected as a delegate. For the first time in all these decades of my life I have become overtly and directly involved in the political side of things. Its not in my comfort zone, and I do not like operating in the open like this. But something had to be done. The problem is, it may not be enough.

I was not so worried before this, as I thought the usual political machinery could be harnessed to correct this. That's why I jumped in, to help try to push things the right way.

But last night really opened my eyes.

My perception now is that there are far more potential loose cannons than there are people trying to secure and aim them properly. Malicious power-hungry people on both sides benefit from them being the way they are.

The Democrat leadership just does not seem to understand how this is going to cause a number of people to snap their bonds to this government (c.f. Waco, BATF and McVeigh), they are so self righteous they have arrogantly ignored needing the consent of those they are supposed to represent. They seem to think they can use any violent reactions to crack down and further consolidate collectivist power in the state. They do not realize just how fundamentally wrong they are in gauging the grim fire and fight in that part of the population .

On the other side, the GOP leadership, in its lust for political power, doesn't realize that these folks will break away from the system in a fundamental way that will not benefit the GOP politically they way the leadership thinks it will.

In order to remedy things, these "broken away" people will be looking for far more direct and high impact methods than a voting booth (again, c.f. McVeigh et al).

And that's what's keeping me up at nights. (continued)

"the new swing of the pendulum destroys their efforts."

But, that's why I tend to OldSpook's view.

The GOP has shown ZERO evidence that they've truly learned anything since they got their asses kicked in the recent past. ZERO.

Having the pendulum swing from one giant, overbearing government faction to the other giant, overbearing government faction changes nothing.

My prediction:I see big GOP victories in 2010 and 2012. I then see them proving themselves to be the giant power hungry statist douchebags they've always been.

I then see all hell breaking loose.

Jack, an even bigger worry is the actions of police agencies. As the father of a schoolmate of mine put it "they smile and are polite this week. They bring their shoes to be mended at your repair shop. They eat at your restaurant. You are declared undesirable by the state and they are the first to scream "raus! raus" as they push you into the cattle cars. They follow orders. They enforce the law. They are incapable of thinking".

# posted by

Anonymous : 3/18/10 6:20 AM

Regarding the military, handlers and citizens, two words:

Sherman & Georgia, Sheridan and the Shenandoah Valley.

Some dis-assembly required.

I have tremendous respect for today's military. They are far better trained and equipped than we were in my day. But, their leadership haunts my dreams. And another name for dreams, is "nightmares".

I pray to God that if things go wrong, I'm wrong too.

It's that time of year again, so here's my day after St.Paddy's Day song:

♫♪
When Irish eyes are bleeding,
Sure it's like a rushing spring.
In the crush of Irish migraines,
You can hear the demons sing.
When Irish are hungover,
All the world seems loud and fey.
So when Irish eyes are bleeding,
Take the smell of that pint away.♫♪
♫♪

♫♪
T'was a tear in your eye,
last night at the sty,
A thinking about Patty's songs.
With such power in your smile,
And great thirst all the while,
There was ne'er a full mug in a mile.
When your sharp lilting cackles raised your drinking mate's hackles,
And your eyes twinkled bright as could be,
You laughed all the while and all other times smiled,
The payoff's this sad penalty.♫♪

SHOES & the 50's Man

Flap Jacks
Rollover for real Flap-Jacks

“

Blogger gunnypink said...

Hi, kids, my name's Buster Brown, I live in a shoe, this is my dog Tige, he lives there too. OK Froggy, twang your magic twanger. Couldn't sell a pair of kids shoes with that today...gotta have a BB star endorse the shoe first. So, who was more ignernt?

”

While the commercial for Buster Brown shoes had a sort of cult following, my gang wouldn't be caught dead wearing them. Not that that we always had a choice. I remember three "must have" shoes while I was growing up in Chicago.

Because we wore uniforms (khaki trousers, white shirt and brown tie), shoes were the only way to have an identity, and were extremely important in determining your position on the social pecking order. My first "must have" shoes were what I remember as "Flap-Jacks," which memory tells me were from Thom McCan? I spent two hours trying to find them.

    * Flap-Jacks - nothing. Snap-Jacks - nothing.
    * "Flap opening vintage shoes" - nothing.
    * A dozen other variations got me - nothing.

I recreated them above. (Just before going to press the real ones popped up in a search for "white bucks"   The description said "with Nu-Lock Front." Maybe in the sticks. I can still hear the commercial for Flap-Jacks.

Anyway, I wanted those flap-jacks desperately, but mother fended me off with "they'll break;" "they look stupid;" "you'll look like a a hood" Hood was pronounced "hewd," as in hoodlum. The real reason was that they cost more than what she wanted to spend. She finally relented however, and I was able to maintain my gravitas at St. Francis.

BLACK ENGINEER BIKER BOOTS STEEL TOE
OMG OMG OMG - these absolute "must haves" met with the greatest resistance. "You'll look like a a hood" I wanted these more than I wanted Flap-Jacks. I wanted them with cleats.

I really don't remember what it was that turned her; maybe my incessant Eric Cartman whine ,"but mommmm." I do remember getting into the car and driving to a shoe store on Harlem Ave (and that when we left the store, it was nearly dark out). The boots pictured here (from E-bay) are the EXACT boots I got. Hell, they might even be mine?

At the checkout, I asked if they could put cleats on them, and before the clerk could respond my mom said, "Absolutely not! You'll already look like a hood, and I don't want my floors ruined." The next day at recess I rode my bike to a shoe repair store, and for 75¢ had the biggest, baddest cleats they had put on. I made sure to walk on my toes around her, but she soon heard me outside on the sidewalk, and blew a fuse. Took a screwdriver and ripped 'em off. I settled for putting a lot of thumb tacks in the heels.

WHITE BUCKS were next. The stylish young man

was then wearing gunmetal gray trousers, with pink stitching down the leg, a pink shirt, and black knit tie with two horizontal pink stripes. And white buck shoes. Mom was fine with the pink (duh), so it became a matter of whether Robert Hall (Easter Clothes store) carried them. They did, except for the pink shirt and stitched trousers. She took care of that by dying one of my school shirts pink, and stitching some trousers down the pants leg. They were not gunmetal, and the stitching was .........., and not - - - - - - -. To complete the disaster, she substituted these faux-bucks

embarrassment for the real

white bucks. Nothing about being a hood, just too expensive. Did you notice the look of pain on my face in the "stylish" roll over? It was tempered, somewhat, because my best pal Tim Hill's (left) mother made him wear that abortion.. Still, it's a wonder I didn't grow up to be a serial killer.

Slaughter House Rules

Looks like the fun is over

“

We have entered a political wonderland, where the rules are whatever Democrats say they are. Mrs. Pelosi and the White House are resorting to these abuses because their bill is so unpopular that a majority even of their own party doesn't want to vote for it. Fence-sitting Members are being threatened with primary challengers, a withdrawal of union support and of course ostracism. Michigan's Bart Stupak is being pounded nightly by MSNBC for the high crime of refusing to vote for a bill that he believes will subsidize insurance for abortions. WSJ

From what I disremember, Froggy was sitting on an upright piano, which was conveniently never played..., and would gesture upon command from Buster Brown.
Seems there were lots of "Ramar in the Jungle" and Tarzan movies on Saturday AM TV in the late '50's.

As I remember Ramar alternated with Flash Gordon. I hated the former, loved the latter.

I just remembered going into the drugstore, and inside the door was a machine, that you could climb up on a pedestal, place your feet into a slot in the machine, and get an xray look to see how well your shoes fit. Seems to my remembery, that the machine had a picture of Buster Brown and his dog on it. Methinks it was a catalyst to get parents to buy shoes for their chillrun.

Gunny, I remeber one of those machines in the shoe store. Didn't have to put any dough into it, but it was unplugged. I guess they figured out that X-raying your bones a lot didn't do a whole lot of good.
I remember stepping up and looking into toe viewer and seeing nothing. Seems there were two viewports on the one I remember.

$68 Milk

Amazon is like TIVO. If you look at one weird thing, you get profiled. In my case, evidently, into the category "schmuck."

You guys make a lot of fun about this milk and the price. Do you have any idea how much work goes in to milking a Tuscan bull. To extract a gallon takes devotion and a great deal of relationship building.
