| 20130523 17:43 | swksvoFF ***SPAM?*** | Wuz reading the peacock news about the president being heckled. Unidentified woman Code Pink says it was madea Unknown woman Unknown woman Neil Munro, a conservative, also heckles CP+MB had super star status but with this she is just some blurry face in a crowd? So far in the tank, if they need help they don't call the police they call roto-rooter. | ||

| 20130522 20:12 | swksvolFF | He has some imaging to do after the Marine Preciptationary Force: It took six months after Benghazi for Obama to call for air cover. When the president was in trouble and needed help, the Marines responded within 5 seconds. Because deploying umbrellas is against Marine SOPs, a lawyer would have forbidden the mission. | ||
| 20130522 19:08 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | He couldn't do anything about Benghazi; he'd forgotten to pay for his xbox live connection because of the Sequester. | ||
| 20130522 18:42 | Sherry | Just an observation I've been thinking about since yesterday: After Bin Laden: Picture of Obama in the situation room After Moore, OK tornado: Picture of Obama in the situation room (released yesterday) After Benghazi: No picture of Obama in the situation room | ||
| 20130522 17:53 | Shipman | Wonder why he feels safe enough to make a statement? /rhetorical question. | ||
| 20130522 16:40 | Pappy | tw, no I hadn't. I've got it bookmarked now. | ||

| 20130522 12:00 | trailing wife | Pappy, Drudge has this up. mHave you seen it? | ||
| 20130522 11:46 | Shipman | Don't know what this is either, but it looks to be closer to my price point than a Grand Caravan or any Otter. | ||

| 20130522 07:41 | Dale | "think I am adorably eccentric. They all tell Mommy TW stories to their friends, who don't believe a word until they meet me". Yes, that is great. You are making an impact. Thank you that is good to hear. They have respect for you as you do for your mother. Thanks for the update on Lotp. | ||
| 20130522 07:21 | Deacon Blues | Swaziland's Civil Aviation Authority has threatened to fine witches who fly their broomsticks higher than 150 meters. An official with the agency said broomsticks are covered by the same law that bans kites and toy helicopters from flying too high. A local newspaper said it wasn't clear if he was being serious | ||
| 20130522 04:58 | Shipman | Thanks AP, sweet conversion. | ||
| 20130522 01:29 | trailing wife | I am curious what your daughters would say if you did that. Dale, for reasons beyond my understanding, the trailing daughters -- and also part time daughter and formerly temporary daughter -- think I am adorably eccentric. They all tell Mommy TW stories to their friends, who don't believe a word until they meet me. lotp is taking time for dealing with her corner of the analog world. | ||
| 20130522 00:13 | trailing wife | OldSpook, they may not be able to see the article after the rollover without contacting him for permission, though I rolled it over for a second day. That was one of Fred's security features during the R1ghth4ven kerfuffle. You'll want to lookinto that. | ||
| 20130521 23:57 | OldSpook | Good work Pappy on that timeline - I emailed a permalink to it to several people. | ||
| 20130521 22:55 | Pappy | She's posted schtuff on Facebook. | ||
| 20130521 22:39 | Dale | Come on TW. If you do it I'll do it.:) I am curious what your daughters would say if you did that. Say what has happened to Lotp. She has been very quiet. | ||
| 20130521 21:15 | Alaska Paul | Shipman----here is a Cessna 208 Grand Caravan landing in Vancouver, BC | ||
| 20130521 21:00 | badanov | I stand by my contention that Obama has had his thumb on the scale the whole time. | ||
| 20130521 20:17 | trailing wife | I won't get one, but golly, it's tempting! | ||
| 20130521 19:45 | Alaska Paul | Shipman------that is a deHaviland Single Otter on floats with a turbine engine conversion. Makes it a whole new plane by getting rid of the old radial engine. | ||
| 20130521 17:40 | Pappy | DB: One of the State Department contractors,Glen Doherty, was involved in the tracking down of "manpads", so that would jive. | ||
| 20130521 16:45 | Shipman | Spotted off the deck at Cedar Key... I am fairly certain it's a Caravan, but not sure. It's under tow for reasons unknown to me. Also Flickr is making a desperate move for more members.... 1 terabyte free storage for your photos. I'm vaguely annoyed at paying for using significantly less than that but I am sure I will get a free look a FlickrGoldExtraForCoolD00Ds, so I got that. | ||
| 20130521 12:37 | swksvolFF | We were out one night responding to a town which had taken a legitimate brush from a tornado. We were doing our door-to-door safety check when I heard on the radio that the town we were in was totally wiped out. I said "Oh sh!t, then where are we!? Glad to see the death toll down. That was a tornado which didn't care if you did everything right; if you are in the wrong spot, then. | ||
| 20130521 12:35 | Deacon Blues | Interesting, if true: Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft. Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.” This left Stevens in the position of having to clean up the scandalous enterprise when it became clear that the “insurgents” actually were al-Qaeda – indeed, in the view of one of the diplomats, the same group that attacked the consulate and ended up killing Stevens. | ||
| 20130521 12:34 | Glenmore | Look again, Shipman, I somehow missed the numerals last time. | ||
| 20130521 12:21 | Deacon Blues | Headline of the day from Los Angeles: Big rig carrying fruit crashes on 210 Freeway, creates jam | ||

| 20130521 10:52 | badanov | Death toll in OKC has been revised downwards to 24. | ||
| 20130521 07:38 | Glenmore | Old Spook, I fear the problem is not with the GOP but with DC. I'd say it's something in the water, but I don't think they drink water there. | ||
| 20130521 02:07 | OldSpook | There appears to be no limit to the fecklessness of the GOP in DC. | ||
| 20130520 21:28 | Pappy | The GOP leadership will respond if they wish to retain power. The Tea Party and the conservative wing will put increasing pressure on the DC party. Hopefully you're right. I think they'll waver precisely because they're terrified of being accused of being tools for the Tea Party and the conservative wing. | ||
| 20130520 20:15 | Glenmore | Shipman, did the primitive oil show come through? | ||
| 20130520 19:49 | badanov | Some Monday evening Dwight Yoakam: | ||
| 20130520 17:50 | Shipman | I am a Bligh fan-boy, it was his unfortuante fate to Command the Bounty as a Lieutenant and not a Captain (1 rank in that time I think) A Captain got 3 or more Marines. A Lieutenant none. It's the dark secret of the USN and HMRN that Marines are really there to kill frisky sailors if the time comes, their assault capability are just gravy. Srsly. True story... my Uncle Charles was a Seagoing Type, perpetually annoyed and seeing deviant behavior where, well seeing deviant behavior in Norfolk. He ended up as a body guard to Adrm King and then a (yeah) a copper. He mellowed into a good chief of Police in Fernandiana Beach Fl and later into an awesome produce salesman in the bad part of TLH. I miss him, he was a hard core bastard, an enormous man with pent up anger at all things that he A: didn't understand 2. Understood and disagreed with iii. Figured someone was being cheated 4. was mkin fun, like his nephew. :( funf. Listen to your older relatives. | ||
| 20130520 16:53 | Bright Pebbles | @Dale http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/20/real_estate/amateur-investors/index.html Really the same side of the coin. | ||

| 20130520 10:26 | mrp | 1. I know it was. I read the book. 3. The GOP leadership will respond if they wish to retain power. The Tea Party and the conservative wing will put increasing pressure on the DC party. That's why Obama and his people targeted the Tea Party (and Sarah Palin for that matter). They are the real opposition and the true threat. 4. I read the Wretchard excerpt that you posted. | ||
| 20130520 06:19 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | 1. The USS Caine was fictional. That's what all you college boys think... but geometric logic says otherwise! | ||
| 20130519 22:57 | Pappy | 1. The USS Caine was fictional. 2.That mutiny, much like the real USS Vance one, was staged by the wardroom and not the crew. However, I have read about(and have seen one) uprising by ship's crews. The latter are a result of long-festering or a series of issues. 3. In any case, I was responding to the other commenters' remarks about the lack of response by the Republican leadership about attacks on the tea party. The leadership has no regard for the Tea Party, regarding them as political amateurs, useful only for scut labor, much like the landsmen on the Bounty were - until the mutiny occurred. 4. Apparently you didn't really read wretchard's remarks. Congress - the GOP part - is still at the "maybe there's a problem" stage. The GOP is still holding to the political process, where horse-trading reigns and compromises can be made. To use a line from the article: "nobody wants to risk the political peace by some hot-headed response". Meaning if and when the GOP does act,it'll likely be at the point where it's too late to use the bicameral, bipartisan political process, or any political action taken by the GOP will be unsuccessful, because a significant portion of its conservative/Tea Party base will have defected. 5. The judiciary is politicized. | ||
| 20130519 22:57 | mrp | The Bounty? Wrong naval analogy. A better one is the USS Caine. And what's the talk about "uprisings" anyway? It is past time for this Congress and our judicial system to rein in an out-of-control regulatory system that's increasingly hostile to political dissent. | ||
| 20130519 21:51 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Planet Tahiti, with the Open-Minded Swedish Air Hostesses... | ||
| 20130519 20:31 | badanov | Working the problem. | ||
| 20130519 20:24 | badanov | Some Sunday evening Glenn Miller w/ Ray Eberle: | ||
| 20130519 17:21 | Shipman | Hot damn, Pappy is implying we're going back to Tahiti. I'm onboard. | ||
| 20130519 16:52 | Pappy | That's because the Tea Party is essentially a non-entity to the GOP, and to the D.C. political system at large. They're the 'landsmen' on the political Bounty. I'll leave it to you to draw the rest of the analogy. Suffice it to say I've studied mutinies, from the Bounty to the USS Vance to scores of small uprisings on other USN vessels in the 1960s-70s. We're at the "something is wrong but things will work out" stage... | ||
| 20130519 16:43 | badanov | They damn oughta be! | ||
| 20130519 15:57 | Bright Pebbles | The trouble with wretchard's post is that the republican leadership isn't too fussed about attacks on the tea party. | ||
| 20130519 14:58 | 3dc | went back to 3dc nym on new linux .... | ||
| 20130519 12:28 | mrp | Sigh. Wretchard wrings his hands about a Republican response while the Obama Leftist crush dissent. Because that's the role conservatives are now forced to play with the DOJ and Treasury politicized and playing hardball against organizers and big-wallet donors. "Going for the big brass wring" isn't a matter of elections at this point. | ||
| 20130519 12:14 | Pappy | Morning from Next to The Park. Thanks for the tip, Shipman. I'll order the kindle version. I just have to wade through about, oh, 20 books before I can get to it. | ||
| 20130519 12:11 | swksvolFF | AP, that has my son swaying and clappin'. Atkinson is good. Learned more about Italy in 2 chapters than in whole school. | ||
| 20130519 10:55 | Glenmore | Should be a second-hand hat tip, Alaska Paul; I got it from Mostly Cajun. | ||
| 20130519 07:43 | Shipman | Stop what you are doing and go order Rick atkinson's The Guns At Last Light, the last and so far the best, of his WW2 European front trilogy. It will win a prize or 2. For reasons unknown to me I have both the kindle and hardback, I only per-ordered the kindle. So if anyone is short let me know and I will send the hard bound | ||
| 20130519 02:23 | Skidmark | Kool, but its a bolt with a manual trigger. Maybe just a concept platform. |
