  6. Never fear Killian, you can have a swig from my little flask.

  8. Violet,

    The blog is on Pacific Coast Time.

  9. Ah, I must retire to my lair in order to be rested for tomorrow's battles.

    Gee, it's been really good to be able to hang out here for awhile. Missed it.

    Nite, tweet dreams, all.

  10. Whaaa ... was there a time change? ... I thought the Pub closed at 10 cst ...

    Well, hi.
    Are you new here?

    ReplyDelete

  12. Yes, I'm new here.

    And the first thing I've noticed is that as soon as I posted, all the user icons that I see turned into American Flag icons, except for those that were already on the page.

    ReplyDelete

  13. Carrying on from downstairs.

    I am trying to instill, in my girls, respect for people in authority. That goes for adults, teachers, policemen and many others. One of the greatest people, here in the USA, that deserve that respect is the Office of the Presidency. This has been very hard for me because I HATE what 44 is doing to the country of my birth. I hate the cop that pulls me over for transgressing the law. I hate most things that are authoritative. BUT I do respect them all. Fine line.

    I hope this makes sense. The scotch is getting to me. :)))

    ReplyDelete

  14. Do I need a drink to see the icons more clearly?

    No, I am not opening the door.

  16. Landshark, it is a temporary bug in our temporary place.
    Like your avatar, though.

  17. Hi Landshark welcome to our great home.

    Anyway w*rk comes early in the morning so I should be getting to bed. See you all in the AM folks.

    ReplyDelete

  19. Welcome Landshark! Blogger has had a problem with the avatars the past few days.

  22. I would love to be at a fishing camp on Lake Pontchartrain right about now ... listening to this ... but I cannot ... man, I miss that ... fishing camps in Louisiana are so sweet ... fresh shrimp caught trolling ... speckled trout ... this year has flown by ...

    Harvest Moon ...

  23. I hope Pixar has better things to do with its time.

  24. Hi everyone! Zigzagging, I've missed you! Did you leave St. Louis the way you found it? Are you home yet?

    Landshark -- WELCOME TO C2! :-)

    You can drink in here, K/B. It's just that Brandy often has a date at 7:00PM PST, so...ya know. ; )

  31. CC:

    She must be a popular girl. LOL

    ReplyDelete

  33. PBJ, she's hot. Seriously, she's a cutie. : )

  34. Hi Erik! Tough establishing respect for the person who currently occupies the WH, especially when he's doing so little to encourage it.

    ReplyDelete

  35. Hi CC. I like this 'keep right on drinking' thread. ;-)

    ReplyDelete

  36. CC ... then I think Bar Wench needs to share her man stash she has behind the bar ... blah ... you know ... keep the patrons happy ..

    ReplyDelete

  37. Oh, good! Bare just told me he thinks we need an "all night diner"...do you think that would be better, or is this cool?

    ReplyDelete

  38. Pink, I can't believe he is going so hard after Fox. Don't know if it is because he is that thin-skinned or it is the only ansr they have to tanking poll numbers and lack of support.
    Sad situation and I hope people are paying attention.

    ReplyDelete

  39. CC ... then I think Bar Wench needs to share her man stash she has behind the bar ... blah ... you know ... keep the patrons happy ..

    I'll ask her about that, Z2! LOL (She strikes me as the generous type.)

    ReplyDelete

  40. Bar Wench needs to share her man stash...

    Dang, ZZ, how many can you handle at once!? I thought your plate was already full!

  42. Violet (forgive me if I missed it - I can't even begin to read everything around here) - did you see this?

    Obama whined about FOX News at off-the-record briefing with lefty pundits

    ReplyDelete

  43. Well, visiting is good! I assume you will not be passing "GO" then? : )

    ReplyDelete

  44. Sad situation and I hope people are paying attention.

    The blinders are coming off, VT. Kinda hard not to see this slick huckster for what he (for the average Joe, anyway -- those who drank deeply of the koolaid are probably hopeless).

    ReplyDelete

  45. I did, CC. What a flipping pambi. How is he going to take on our real enemies, when he wilts at Beck and hannity?

    ReplyDelete

  47. CC, seems Maddow and her like-minded libs rate more in Teh Won's eyes than McCrystal.

    ReplyDelete

  48. If this is gonna be an after drinking diner ... I will take two over easy, grits and country ham (yep even a racist when I eat) ... chocolate (see not a racist) and plenty of butter on my buttermilk biscuits ...

    Some tunes to eat by ...

    Pink Floyd ...Coming Back to Life ..

    Pink ... well, you never know when you might need a backup ... not my first rodeo ...

    ReplyDelete

  49. V/T, I find his inability to accept unpopularity in some circles - to the point he would be openly critical of private citizens, and attempt to control the media to this degree - more than a little disturbing.

    Power in the hands of someone like that can really be a bad thing.

    ReplyDelete

  50. You are right, Pink. He spent less than an hour with his general, but more than two hours with his favorite media admirers.

    ReplyDelete

  51. Hahaha .. meant Chocolate Milk ... yum ... but um ... not finished drinking yet ....

    ReplyDelete

  53. CC, seems Maddow and her like-minded libs rate more in Teh Won's eyes than McCrystal.

    Oh, I don't think there's any doubt about that, Pinkie.

    ReplyDelete

  54. ROFL ZZ! It's good to have you back. You definitely bring your own wonderfully unique brand of humor to the place! LOL!

    Hi Erik! Tough establishing respect for the person who currently occupies the WH, especially when he's doing so little to encourage it.

    My exact problem. I have no respect for 44 but I do for the Office.

    ReplyDelete

  57. Yeah ....no kidding ....

    73% of GOP Voters Say Congressional Republicans Have Lost Touch With Their Base

    ReplyDelete

  58. Violet, it worries me sick. I have a nephew and a great nephew that will be going to Afghanistan sometime within the next year.

    ReplyDelete

  59. You know, if people on the right are this fired up without a real leader in sight, think of how motivated they would be if a real leader emerged. Where do we find another Reagan?

    ReplyDelete

  60. My exact problem. I have no respect for 44 but I do for the Office.

    Mine are older, Erik, and neither have any respect for 0bama (at 19 and 21, they're watching closer than I ever did at that age) ....teach her about Reagan, about men you have respected in the office, highlight the contrast. Explain your own difficulty in reconciling respect for the office versus respect for the man ...let her know why ...I think that's the best you can do.

    ReplyDelete

  61. I don't blame you, PJB. He really is a pambi and he cannot make a tough decision. He is so unprepared for this job. Biden is an idiot imo, so I won't wait for him to make a difference either.

    You've got to have a Carter to have a Reagan, and with Obama we're well on our way...

    Thanks pink. I knew you would give some great insight. That is what we are trying to do. They are both still young, 10 and 12. Thank god they are going to a great Catholic school and have a very good roll model( besides their mum and dad). :)

    ReplyDelete

  64. Landshark, Obama is like carter 2.0, maybe worse. If a new Reagan should appear, i think we will be ready. Just don't know where he/she will come from.

    ReplyDelete

  66. Not Halloween quite yet, but getting real scary.

    ReplyDelete

  67. Erik, Mr Tiger and I never spoke much about politics around my daughter, and yet she turned out to be a conservative kid. She cast her first vote for president last year, joined the college republicans, etc. I was a total moonbat at her age. Just set a good example, encourage self-reliance and good values. They will take their own path after that.

    ReplyDelete

  68. You're welcome, Erik. IMO, any person of good conscience would have to stand apart from 0bama and within their own convictions. It doesn't make one 'unpatriotic', it makes one a good critical thinker (which is what you ultimately want anyway). Sounds like your daughters are in good hands. :-)

    ReplyDelete

  69. Landshark, sounds like China is doing better than we are.

    ReplyDelete

  70. G'evening/morning all! (Cough, cough.)

    Hi Pink!

    ReplyDelete

  71. FF! Are you feeling any better!?

    Good to see you! :-)

    They better be, they have to buy up all the debt President Obama's piling up.

    ReplyDelete

  75. Not Halloween quite yet, but getting real scary.

    We have big Halloween week plans, by the way. One of our team members has put together a bunch of cool stuff. You should visit us that week, Landshark!

    ReplyDelete

  76. Survey: Have gas prices taken a sharp spike in the last several days where you are? Here in Memphis I think they've jumped maybe 30 cents.

    ReplyDelete

  77. FF, now that the boycott Fox idea has tanked, where do they go from here?

  79. Saw that, FF. What an idjit.

    /envisioning oft-shown pic of Dear Leader's nose in the air ...

    ReplyDelete

  80. Landshark, I haven't noticed anything with gas prices, but crude was up to $82 this week. That is a significant increase over the last few months.

    ReplyDelete

  81. FF, now that the boycott Fox idea has tanked, where do they go from here?

    VT, I think they're just getting started.

    ReplyDelete

  82. @Pink: at least this time I could sleep a bit before coughing myself awake ;-) Otherwise, not too bad, really.

    Meanwhile, Mrs. told me my dog is happy I'm an AGW skeptic. And that dog meat isn't kosher ;-)

    Maybe it's a seasonal home-heating-oil related price increase. Maybe a colder than normal winter expected?

    ReplyDelete

  85. Landshark, it certainly seems like a colder-than-normal winter is on the way. Lots of record lows and record early snows. We had a very cool summer and maybe one or two wam days this fall.

    ReplyDelete

  86. @zigzagging: Come on, tell us how you really feel :-)

    ReplyDelete

  87. Seriously, who's going to eat their pet, even if it is a chicken?

    Anyway, I'd get a fish. Maybe a nice tilapia.

    ReplyDelete

  88. PBJ

    I have a nephew and a great nephew that will be going to Afghanistan sometime within the next year.

    OMG...I didn't realize. We will pray for them, but better yet, we will also pray that both The One ahd Biden will have been impeached, and Nancy Pelsi & Harry Reid will all have been impeached, or voted out.

    ReplyDelete

  89. @Pink, RB: Acadamia nuts, I love it.

    ReplyDelete

  90. Can't get too attached to a fish. Maybe a pet lobster.

    Mmmm. I'm makin' me hungry.

    ReplyDelete

  91. @VioletTiger: friends living in the coastal plain of Israel told me they had a less sweaty summer than usual as well.

    ReplyDelete

  92. I don't want to meet any of my food.

    ReplyDelete

  93. Impeached? *snicker*
    What, are they going to impeach themselves?
    I know, after the Libertarian Party landslide. :o

    ReplyDelete

  94. FF, they keep telling us the warming is really coming. After this brief intermission./

    ReplyDelete

  95. Instapundit: ""THE HEADLINE READS OBAMA CONTINUES TO LEAD 2012 CONTESTS, but that’s putting a pretty good spin on the fact that he’s only 4 points ahead of Mike Huckabee. Yes, Mike Huckabee. If you’re 47-43 over Mike Huckabee, that’s not a good sign. When, you know, you’re President, and the media love you."

    Just like with the stimulus "creating or saving" all those jobs, if we didn't have AGW then we'd really be cold!

    ReplyDelete

  97. The good news, Obama trails Huckabee by 4.
    The bad news, Huckabee leads GOP hopefuls.

    ReplyDelete

  98. Reminds me of the story, in Soviet days, about a friendly racing contest between the US ambassador and the local KGB commander. The American won. Pravda reported the next day: "The American came in penultimate; the Russian honorably finished in second place."

    Huckabee is not my Reagan, but it's good to see that even he can top Obama.

    ReplyDelete

  100. I only know Mike Huckabee as some guy from across the river in Arkansas. What say we don't have another Arkansas President for a while, y'all?

    ReplyDelete

  103. @Landshark: ever read "Fallen Angels" by Niven and Pournelle?

    /Actually, I'm being uncomfortably reminded of "The Last Centurion" by John Ringo these days ;-)

    ReplyDelete

  104. Oh, I misspoke, it's Obama leads Huckabee by 4.

    ReplyDelete

  105. We don't need another Clinton, that's for sure. Although the Clintons did provide us with lots of snarky Halloween fun years ago. One year we had a Hillary Clinton pinata. It was a big 'hit'.

    ReplyDelete

  106. No, haven't read that one. Last Niven and Pournelle I read was Footfall (and I have it autographed by both).

    Though I've heard about Fallen Angels re: AGW.

    ReplyDelete

  107. Power Line on Afghanistan:
    Success in Helmand shatters Obama's pretext for inaction. Read the whole thing.

    /"Inaction" is a nice term for "sitting with your thumb up your nether orifice"

  108. Guess I'll sneak on back for fruitcup in the A.M.

    Goodnight, y'all.

  111. @Landshark: The basic premise of 'Fallen Angels' (Baen free library link) is that Earth would be in a global cooling stage held at bay by AGW. Then after envirowhackos take over...

  115. Oh well I guess I am a Racist......

    You May be a Racist If……….

    If you are a liberal democrat and were at one point a member of the KKK (Senator Byrd), you are NOT a racist.

    If you oppose government bailouts, don’t like being told what car to drive, what food to eat or are against the Fairness Doctrine, you may be a racist.

    If you are a liberal democrat of color and you oppose a white conservative president, you are NOT a racist.

    If you are a white conservative and you supported people like Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Linda Chavez, Alberto Gonzales, Carlos Gutierrez, Samuel Alito, Dana Parino and Elanie Chao to become Justices of the Supreme Court or high ranking government officials, you are not only a racist but you hate women.

    If you are a liberal of any color and opposed those nominations, you are not only NOT racists, you are patriots.

    If you are a white conservative and you oppose communists advising the president, you are a racist.

  116. If you are against socialized medicine and you are a white conservative, you may be a racist.

  117. There's a group in Louisiana - The Pelican Institute - emerging as the go-to for all things Acorn. I check in with them once a week or so. This is the latest today (PDF warning):

    www.pelicaninstitute.org

    This part piqued my interest:

    The latest in a string of more than 75 liens in the past two years was filed Oct. 1 against
    the main ACORN organization. It seeks to collect $21,062 for the tax period ending Dec.
    31, 2007. A lien for $514.39 was also filed in the past month against a related group,
    Wal-Mart Alliance for Reform Now.

    Searching google, I found this:

    WARN, a coalition of individuals, community organizations, labor unions, neighborhood associations, immigrant alliances, civil rights groups, women’s organizations, environmental groups, and consumer groups, provides the voice for citizens to force Wal-Mart to be accountable to community standards and values. In conjunction with the Wal-Mart Workers Association (WWA), WARN is building a national organization that has the power to affect change in the business practices of Wal-Mart and its affiliated businesses. With our base in Tampa and Orlando, WARN is currently expanding to give a voice to citizens across the country who have had enough of Wal-Mart's race to the bottom.

    Their website: W*A*R*N


    A visit to the site shows established offices primarily in Florida but the Pelican Institute info refers only to ACORN activity in Louisiana and shows a lien against WARN in Louisiana as an group related to (and tied in with) ACORN.

  118. How many people have posted links yet that Sarah Palin is endorsing Doug Hoffman against the DIABLO "GOP" candidate?
