Saturday Afternoon

We are slacking our way to success on Saturday afternoon.

And as we slack, we wonder - when women make different career choices that lead to lower pay, it represents a national crisis so grave that our President feels obliged to lie about it.

But when the loss of subsidies with higher income discourages the working class from actually trying to work their way up the ladder, progressives cheer the choice of free time over paid effort.

Well... since the topic is women in society, sort of, I am also wondering whether I can make it through yet another day without accidentally seeing some ice dancing from Sochi. Now this is an example of women crushing the American spirit. Most of the time we can count on male-oriented sports programming, with lots of football, basketball, beer commercials, hair loss advice, pick-up trucks, and of course, Viagra and its many, many, many competitors.

But come the Olympics the networks feel obliged to scoop up the chicks with lots of ice dancing (winter) and gymnastics, synchronmized swimming and rhythmic aerobic dancing (summer). Groan - why can't I be watching Lithuania play Estonia in ice hockey like a real American? Instead I am being offered a chance to watch Miss Unpronounceable from Unrecognizable twirl around like... well, like the finger twirling next to my head to indicate my probable mental status.

One day more...

2004: Stresa, Italy: Many people would say that this photograph, more than any others, clearly demonstrates the coming together of the powerful elites at Bilderberg. Far right is Richard Perle the architect of the Iraq war. Second from right is Jessica Mathews from the Carnegie Endowment for Peace. Seated with backs to camera are David Rockefeller and Clinton advisor Vernon Jordan.

[anonamom]

what can I say?

[daddy]

Mark Steyn pokes a bear with a stick.

[Ignatz]

Anybody got any pictures of Jessica Mathews in a tiny bikini?
If so I hope it's Beasts so we don't have to see them.

[daddy]

And you thought your Sochi Olympics coverage was a bit of a headscratcher.

From the front page of today's ADN: Sochi Report, Alaska edition: Callan comes out

Callan Chythlook-Sifsof, the Girdwood snowboarder who missed the cut for Team USA...told the ESPN news program "Outside the Lines" that she is gay...

In other Sochi Olympic coverage, I daddy (dogwalker from Alaska) who did not make the Olympic cut, have a pimple on my ass.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

2014: Chicago, Illinois: Many psychiatrists would say this photograph, more than many others, clearly demonstrates the deterioation and unraveling of Ernie Souchak's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to a Paranoia Personality affliction.

[Truthbetold]

Clarice Feldman at Richard Perle's 4th of July party (in France)

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

But no bikini and she is in the south of france. Go figure.

Iggy,

That particular Jessica Mathews is Barabara Tuchman's daughter. Those kind of people do not wear bikinis but have been known to wear one piece suits.

[Beasts of England]

lol, Ig! I finally had success in the other thread...

[Ignatz]

This place is definitely weird today.

[Beasts of England]

As long as you're not gay and your ass has a clear complexion, all is good, Ig.

[daddy]

QUIZ TIME!

“A--h--le! You piece of s--t!”

Who said it:

A) Hillary to Bill
B) Mia Farrow to Woody Allen
C) Soro's ex-girlfriend to George Soros
D) Victoria Nuland to the KGB guy bugging her phone
E) Netanyahu to John Kerry
F) Englebrecht to Congressman Lewis
G) NBC to Jay Leno and America
H) All of the above

And the answer is...

[daddy]

Barabara Tuchman's daughter.

JiB,

I really enjoyed her A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century, from years and years ago.

Is anyone a big fan of anything else she has written, and if so what?

[daddy]

SOCHI Olympics Update!

Beasts, (who did not make the Olympic cut at Sochi), announces that I have good complexion. Full story on the front page of the ADN any minute now.

[Beasts of England]

So this Soros creep is worth about $25 Billion and he's taking all this abuse for a mere $50 Million? Two-tenths of one percent of his net worth? That's two grand from a garden-variety millionaire. He really is stupid...

[Extraneus]

That pic was quite a find, bird brain. It was in one of Clarice's American Thinker articles.

[Beasts of England]

Allow me to rephrase that, daddy. ;)

Ok, Ig, it is weird around here today. Well, weirder than normal.

[daddy]

I love Miss Marple's comment from the previous thread:

NBC has ruined the Olympics. When ABC had them the emphasis was on sport, and human interest stories were only covered when it was pertinent to the coverage. NBC makes these sob stories a central focus, which is ridiculous, as they have turned off many viewers.

I miss Jim McKay and Roone Arledge and the 1960's coverage that was done so well. Every time I see Costas and Lauer my contempt increases. I wish I could get the IOC to rescind NBC's monopoly on coverage, but that's a lost cause since NBC probably bribed them all.

Loved the old music back then, with the announcer saying "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat".

[Extraneus]

Here's Ernie Souchak, discovering the amazingly incriminating photo of Clarice eating hot dogs at Richard Perle's house.

[maryrose]

daddy:
Agreed! Loved Jim McKay!

[Truthbetold]

In 2012 Jack--s.

[Truthbetold]

Have you found any other pictures of Clarice and her friends?

Feldman and Perle have been friends for what, 40+ years?

Thank you Polly. I've got one more Library run I have to do before my hot date with Miss Marple:)

unfortunately insight doesn't transfer,

http://carnegieendowment.org/2014/01/21/iran-good-deal-now-in-danger/gz10

Everyone talks about the Guns of August, but the one about previous generation to the First World War, is a more interesting one,

Do you have a close personal friendship with any (past or present) top officials at the pentagon?

[Beasts of England]

They took down the Birther Report site? You may have to take up golf, TK! ;)

[Truthbetold]

Isn't that Clarice Feldman's good friend Paul Wolfowitz with the guy Clarice blames Plamegate on.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

No, but I do, you stupid incipid jerk. Want do you want to know. Hell I still have a box of M&M's from Bush 41. And one day I am going to use them as a decoy to blow up the UN. Then I am going to go out and find Richard Perle and shake his hand for keeping this blog able to indentify the idiots in Chicago that we need to know about and to avoid at all costs.

Get back on your meds TBT. You truly are a stupid man or woman or Transie.

BTW, lay off Clarcie and ask me anything. I even know more dispicable people on your list than DoT and Clarice. Fire away.

[Threadkiller]

I might get back into racing, BoE.

This sure frees up some time!

LOL!

[narciso]

the Daily Mail, from the last thread, has some severe blind spots, even Mr. Magoo wouldn't mix upp Elizabeth Hurley and Monica Lewinsky,

Do you know Armitage?

Wolfowitz knew Armitage?

Whoa.

There's no fool like an old quisling fool.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

TBT,

Yes I do. I used to lift with him. I once beat his best weight in squats at 545 pounds. You should see my quads.

[Beasts of England]

What did you used to race, TK - cars, motorcycles, boats?

[TexasIsHeaven]

truthbefairytale

Dude - you have a problem and you need help - seriously Dude - you need help. Don't you have a family or any kind of relatives that you can be with?

[Jane-Rebel Alliance1]

Thanks to Ext: My Olympic gear:

[Truthbetold]

JIB

Who would you say he owes his political career to?

[Threadkiller]

Formula Ford, Beasts.

Time trials, never wheel-to-wheel.

[Jane-Rebel Alliance1]

Excuse my french:

Callan Chythlook-Sifsof, the Girdwood snowboarder who missed the cut for Team USA...told the ESPN news program "Outside the Lines" that she is gay...

Who the fuck cares.

TBT that was a pix of me not Clarice so get over yourself.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

TBT,

Armitage had a political career? Well, you know something about him I never knew. All I knew is he was a guy my age who liked to lift weights. Learn somthing everyday.

But Powell, ask me anything about that coward.

[Truthbetold]

You don't know shit.

I concur, Jane. Nice photo, too! :)

That's just classic, Captain,

Well I would have picked "Do you believe in miracles?" Capn, but I really can't complain.

[Truthbetold]

JIB

Who was it that brought Colin Powell along?

[Captain Hate]

narc, it's the only time in my life I've respected the IOC

[Truthbetold]

Here is a clue for you JIB

[Ignatz]

--Who was it that brought Colin Powell along?--

The Bilderbergs?
The Rothschilds?
The illuminati?
The CFR?
Gidney and Cloyd?

[Jim Rhoads f/k/a vnjagvet]

I had forgotten that El Jefe's and Moocher's pitch slid Chicago into dead last among the finalists.

My heart sings.

[Ignatz]

That last one is NSFW, dude!

[Truthbetold]

Ignatz

Do your parents know you're on the computer?

[daddy]

Who the fuck cares.

The Anchorage Daily News does, Jane. That's why it's on the front page. We are all supposed to be interested in the sexual preferences of a 24 year old that can't make the Sochi Olympic's cut.

[Danube on iPad]

"Do you have a close personal friendship with any (past or present) top officials at the pentagon?"

Before I answer, you'll have to establish the relevance of the question.

[Threadkiller]

TBT, Danube seems to be prepared to engage you and your question.

I look forward to your thoughtful response.

[Truthbetold]

Ask Clarice to explain it to you.

[daddy]

Great link at 05:54 Captain. Luv it!

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

TBT,

I don't know shit? I know Ernie Souchak. How come that doesn't count?

USA 1- Finland 0. Guess what sport:)

[DrJ]

daddy,

Is the Science Settled on Wet Hair Fibonacci Spirals?

No way! I suggest that it needs further careful study. We have to investigate the shape as a function of humidity, earth's rotation, ethnicity, gender and so forth.

I suggest beaches in LA, the Grand Caymans, Australia, the Riviera, and South Africa for starters.

I may need assistants and a pilot for all the flying required.

It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

[Truthbetold]

TK

Perhaps you would explain the relevance to Danube?

[Extraneus]

Bush knew Armitage and Powell?

Whoa.

[Captain Hate]

Jim, remember they had Orca Oprah in tow. I don't think I've ever enjoyed listening to Rush as much as after that when he kept singing "Barack Hussein Obama Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm".

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

We are the Great Satan, don't you know?

Ask Finland. 9 of their players on the women's Olympic hockey team went to college in Ameirca, not to study Finnish History or Finnish Women's Issues but to play women's college hockey.

Forget the dreamers how about the fact we can't win medals because we are training everyone on our dime? Believe me, most of those title IX scholaeships are on us, the taxpayer.

[Jane-Rebel Alliance1]

Since I'm the person in the pix I'll explain it to you DOT. TBT is starved for attention. His mother hated him. His father left him. He is being paid to be here and terribly bummed that he's not getting enough attention.

I know everyone at the Pentagon TBT, as do a number of us. What is it you want to know?

[Threadkiller]

I would be happy to, TbT.

I would say it is relative to the insult about not being able to fight out of a wet paper bag.

Are you really not going to take DoT up?

Puss.

[Danube on iPad]

Obviously the Dark Forces figured the Birther Report was getting too close. One too many bombshells.

First Loretta Fuddy, now this. Coincidence?

(Here's the reason given for the shutdown: "Blogger just killed the BR/ORYR site due to violation of terms of service...")

[Threadkiller]

Wouldn't the reason be the violation itself?

What was the violation, Danube?

[Threadkiller]

I do see that you said "reason given."

My question is withdrawn.

[narciso]

Sector 7, is real, that's why they had to a bumbler like John Turturro's character. he would never be accepted, even for probationary status,

[Extraneus]

A truther saunters into a conversation, interjects:

"Did you know that Clarice is a friend of Richard Perle?"

People in the conversation stop what they're doing and respond.

"Yes. Why do you ask?"

The truther, fearing that he'll appear to be a crackpot, doesn't answer.

Weeks and further such interjections ensue.

Yet, the fear was well founded.

[Danube on iPad]

That downhill course is beyond belief.

[Jane-Rebel Alliance1]

Holder is extending gay rights tonite. He's speaking to the HRC and going to tell them that in addition to benefits and privileges of married people, they can no longer be compelled to testify against each other.

Isn't tyranny fun?

[Truthbetold]

Extraneus

Did you know Feldman was a close personal friend of Paul Wolfowitz?

[Danube on iPad]

"Perhaps you would explain the relevance to Danube?"

The explanation must come from TBT or no dice.

[Sue]

House Hunters International is in Panama. Checking out where we can move to.

[Extraneus]

Excellent question, truther.

I'm not sure if I did, but if I did I didn't care and still don't, except to the extent that I think it's swell if she was and is.

[Not_bubarooni]

Daddy, 'the guns of August'. I have a 20 year old copy that gets let out of the unused section of one the bookcases every 5 years or so. Tuchmann is adept weaving a narative. It's a great read and it amazes each time I read it, kinda like 'the rise and fall of the great powers'.

Currently though, I'm a bit consumed by Fibonacci numbers....

[Captain Hate]

Isn't tyranny fun?

No

[Danube on iPad]

The Fibonacci spiral seen in certain plants and shells has certain very precise characteristic that are caused by nature, and are the same everywhere they appear. Not so with the spray from the hair.

[daddy]

If this bit of engaging with today's moron ushers back in his certifiably insane butt-buddy Drawbridge from Sweden to drop more turds in the punchbowl of JOM threads, can we then once again please consider not engaging with this malignant imbecile?

[Extraneus]

Do you think these people are ominous in some way, truther?

I'd like to see you answer DoT's question, but I don't hold out much hope.

[Truthbetold]

Extraneus

What is your definition of "truther"?

[daddy]

Another important question.

Barbie was invented in 1959. Gi Joe was invented in 1964.

How come he never hit on her?

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

Not only do I know that Feldman is a close friend of Feldman but I once watched him him eat bacon at the Tastee Diner in Bethesda.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

I mean Wolfowitz not Feldman.

Unlikely.
Congrats on "your/you're" though.

[Extraneus]

I asked you if you thought 9/11 was an inside job and you replied that Building 4 didn't collapse from fire.

I think that qualifies as the definition of a truther. Would you prefer a different appellation?

[jimmyk on iPhone]

Sadly, when I hear the name Jim McKay I first think of "They're all gone."

He handled that with great class.

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

narciso,

Max was our neighbor when we lived in London. His library is only half the size as the Brirish Library:(

[Danube on iPad]

A Fibonacci sequence begins with the numbers 0,1 and each succeeding number is the sum of the previous two. Thus, 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21....

[Truthbetold]

Extraneus

So you believe that WTC building #7 collapse was due to fire, and anyone who does not believe that should be mocked and ridiculed. Is that correct?
