It took 5 people, 3 shovels, and two bags of De-Ice to get my car out of it’s parking spot this morning. I miss being in school and just being able to sleep in on days like this. This responsibilty thing sucks.
Unfortunately Kit it has been pointed out that since I oversee and manage a couple of hundred people I am “the man”. Any rebelling would be self defeating.
The morons who run my office building did not even attempt to clear the parking lot. It’s like walking on an ice skating rink and probably a liability suit waiting to happen. Then again they probably assumed no one would be stupid enough to come out in this.
It looks like it was around $260 billion when you were born. The debt quadrupled under Reagan because of the Cold War military build up, tripled under Bush Sr (not sure why), stayed about even under Clinton and the Republican Revolution in the 90s (due mostly to military cuts), doubled in the 8 years under GWB (9/11, Katrina, two wars, etc), and has doubled again in one year under Obama. His spending has been absolutely unprecedented. He has spent more in one year than all previous Presidents, including GWB, combined.
Allow me the pleasure of introducing you all to only the most awesome website, outside of Threedonia of course, on the net. It is http://www.archive.org and it is essentially a collection of everything that has gone public domain. In my case I use it to get old movies, cartoons, and old radio shows (which I am borderline obsessed with)but it has all sorts of obscure things on it and is well worth the look. Forewarning it is based out of San Fransicko and is mostly populated by psuedo intellectuals and film students so the comments will be made accordingly.
First, you and Scott have my sympathies regarding dealing with the ice. Let me give you some northern climate Yankee advice for walking on ice: Take tiny steps as you walk. Tiny steps can help you recover should you start to slip or slide as you walk.
I love the internet archive. In the days when we were going without satellite it gave me many hours of entertainment. I have an affection for old time radio and this site has an extensive collection.
Good advice, CW. I’d add my technique, too – don’t walk “heel-arch-toe.” Try to make your heel and toes hit the ground at the same time. This gives you greater surface area for traction and helps prevent those unplanned gymnastic moves.
Love those old radio shows. I had the privilage of being a part of a yahoo group about 10 yars ago. The members were fans like me, as well as retirees who actually lived through those times. I signed up on their distribution lists, and voila! In my mail showed up the entire catalogs of shows like Jack Benny, Life of Riley, Great Gildersleeve as well as dozens of lesser lights. It was like Xmas every week! I have two large CD cases filled with them. One of the best finds in the last 20 years. I don’t think they exist anymore.
OK,so BO decides to put KFC on trial in Federal Court for the 9/11 attacks,but NYC objects…so where do we try him? Any ideas? My nominee would be Oklahoma City.
KFC wouldn’t make it to trial in any Southern state. We have a lot of people with hunting rifles and an ability to hit a moving target from 300+ yards. With that said I second Kit’s idea.
No its me actually and should be a woman attempting to put together a Smithsonian model airplane of the Red Baron’s Red Fokker Tri-Plane. Made in China..NO KIDDING? IT WON”T SIT ON ITS BASE! ARGHHH!
And yeah Obummer’s Budget. Or maybe out of the fact he won’t stop forcing Climate CHange crap down our throats.
Obama’s stories should come with a laugh track. This is from a write up on his record breaking $3.8 trillion dollar budget.
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama unveiled a multitrillion-dollar spending plan Monday, pledging an intensified effort to combat high unemployment and asking Congress to quickly approve new job-creation efforts that would boost the deficit to a record-breaking $1.56 trillion.
Obama’s new budget blueprint preaches the need to make tough choices to restrain run-away deficits
This maroon still hasn’t figured out the government does not create jobs, the private sector does. Also how do you trumpet cutting the deficit while releasing a budget that expands the deficit by record amounts?
How does any journalist write this crap without going insane:
“… asking Congress to quickly approve new job-creation efforts that would boost the deficit to a record-breaking $1.56 trillion.
“Obama’s new budget blueprint preaches the need to make tough choices to restrain run-away deficits.”
Next thing we’ll be getting stuff like.
“The President is asking Congress to cut the defense budget, shut down Gitmo, release all detainees, and withdraw American forces from Afghanistan. Obama’s new defense strategy preaches the need to be militarily strong and resolute in the face of a growing threat from Islamic militants.”
I can feel all rational thought just slip away as I wrote those lines above.
I just watched Megan Kelly (yummmm) tearing apart Gloria Allred in an interview about the Tim Tebow Superbowl (TM) ad, which sounds completely benign, but has the feminazis all in a twist. To me the highlight is just watching how miserable and angry Gloria Allred always looks, honestly she looks like she has just messed in her pants and is sitting in it all the time.

Looks like Johnny Depp
I was thinking Elijah Wood, myself.
Johnny Depp.

Careful, Veruckt. That’s how liberals are made.
Veruckt,
Man, I agree dude. We, like, totally need to rebel or something!
DOWN WITH THE MAN!

$4,000,000,000,000..BO’s budget.I was born in 1958…I wonder what the Federal budget was that year.
It looks like it was around $260 billion when you were born.

This is just absolute insanity.

Extraordinarily low on sheet music.

This morning I am listening to Nigel Rathbone’s Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Good stuff. The guy who plays Watson always sounds half lit though.
OK,so BO decides to put KFC on trial in Federal Court for the 9/11 attacks,but NYC objects…so where do we try him? Any ideas? My nominee would be Oklahoma City.
Top three:
Alabama, Mississippi, Texas.
Kit,
KFC wouldn’t make it to trial in any Southern state. We have a lot of people with hunting rifles and an ability to hit a moving target from 300+ yards. With that said I second Kit’s idea.
The Mariana trench?
If only there was an island somewhere with good security and Marines…
If only …
Wait, KFC?
Who are we talking about here? Khalied Sheikh Muhammed or Kentucky Fried Chicken?
If the latter then I always thought the Colonel was a bit suspicious.
I think they should do it in San Fransisco, he would have a lot of supporters there.
Is the painting of “The Desperate Man” meant to reflect the average person’s reaction to Obama’s budget?
No its me actually and should be a woman attempting to put together a Smithsonian model airplane of the Red Baron’s Red Fokker Tri-Plane. Made in China..NO KIDDING? IT WON”T SIT ON ITS BASE! ARGHHH!

James Lileks from a while back, while assembling something or other:
Mariana Trench?Is that one of Floyd’s old girlfriends?

Oh, Daniel. You’re stuck in a world in which you have to make choices? Obama has made that kind of thinking obsolete!
/rimshot/
4 Trillion…means we Tennesseans have to take off one shoe to count that many naughts
Of course,Kit,in Alabama you’ve never heard of shoes!
Now Scott that isn’t fair. Those burlap sacks on their feet are considered shoes.
I just watched Megan Kelly (yummmm) tearing apart Gloria Allred in an interview about the Tim Tebow Superbowl (TM) ad, which sounds completely benign, but has the feminazis all in a twist. To me the highlight is just watching how miserable and angry Gloria Allred always looks, honestly she looks like she has just messed in her pants and is sitting in it all the time.
Again, we see that the “pro-choice” movement despises anybody who doesn’t choose abortion.
Allred hasn’t had any since Carter was President.
We have shoes.
For that insult I want you to squeal! Like PIG!
SQUEAL PIGGY! EEEE!
Kit is absolutely right.Alabamans do have shoes…on their hands,unfortunately.
Scott,
SQUEAL PIGGY!

You insulted my kin!
Q:How many Arkansans does it take to change a light bulb?
A:None…no electricity there
You mean Mississipians.
