Obama/Osama, same diff.

Marlene

First? OT,but Hillary's campaign has announced she will be in NH on Friday. Her first stop? Smuttynose Brewing Co. in Hampton. Maybe her campaign is admitting she needs to be drunk before she meets with the great unwashed.

NKonChrome

Hilligula- I don't think she has to go to NH to get drunk.

Obama/Osama, same diff.
The Lion of the Senate had a hard time keeping their names straight.

This Obama fellow is not very bright, is he?

shockingly this doesn't seem to be a concern with the Zarquawi wing, IS, wonder why that is,

anyways I was noting last night, how life imitates McCarry's Christopher series, Better Angels and
Shelly's Heart, I was reminded of the latter, with
how the prog Yalie organization, seemed to be embedded in everything like Hillary's foundation,

Smuttynose could also be a nickname for this guy:

What kind of moronic ideologue would use a service academy commencement to claim climate change was the root of all instability? Is the next step sending climate change mitigation funds to ISIL?

Howie Carr is on a climate change rant. Very funny.
NK,the stated reason for her brewery visit is to discuss small business issues. A brewery is as good a place as any I guess,especially with all those free samples. :)

Coastie U is actually under DHS nowadays, but your point stands.

BTW-- anyone up in New England during summer, the Coastie U campus in New London is worth a visit, especially if the bark eagle is pierside. Connecticut College is an even nicer view, it's higher up the hill. The SubBase Groton is on the other side of the river Thames, worth a visit to see the Nautilus. Ask the guard house people where they put all of the WWII sub batteries, it wasn't very green tech.

apparently only USA Today bought the Abu Sayyaf squirrel, and only as an aside, in an interview with Susan Rice, Carlos Slim's will eventually come around,

King Putt had to reach across the globe for a severe storm anecdote. Someone should ask him how many years it's been since a Category 3+ hurricane has made landfall in the US?

frankly the genoese sailor would not appreciate being associated with this hack factory,

of course, the selective leak from Bin Laden's crib leaves out the important details, that Roggio's site among others have uncovered,

You know, Narciso, Shelley's Heart is so applicable for today's times - its almost as if Maccarry is prescient or something : )

So behind in comments and am days behind on threads rather than hours but I appreciate TC's comments regarding he and I being knocked out of the long distance drive for cake and ice cream on birthdays. Dang!

lyle

A thicket of lies:

Calling the science “indisputable,” the president proceeded to lament that “the fossil fuels we burn release carbon dioxide, which traps heat. And the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are now higher than they have been in 800,000 years. The planet is getting warmer. Fourteen of the 15 hottest years on record have been in the past 15 years. Last year was the planet’s warmest year ever recorded.”

“Our scientists at NASA just reported that some of the sea ice around Antarctica is breaking up even faster than expected. The world’s glaciers are melting, pouring new water into the ocean. Over the past century, the world sea level rose by about eight inches. That was in the last century; by the end of this century, it’s projected to rise another one to four feet,” he continued.

Does this retard even have any idea how expensive oceanfront real estate is and continues to be?

Old Lurker

Eric: "Frost advisory for the state of Maine tonight!

Are you saying this would not be a good time for the New England Regional Johnson Measuring Contest?

narciso

it is, the first one of the books I read, was the last supper, which was a pretty straight forward review of the Christopher family, who were seemingly based on the Alsops with a touch of the Bundy clan, then I came across Better Angels, which
projected the kind of world we would see in this last decade,

Old Lurker

Lyle, my house is 18.21 above sea level at Mean High Tide. At 8" per century I think I have 27.3 centuries...well fewer if I want to keep some beach.

And anyway, is there not some dispute about his 8" number? (And no, I am not regressing to my 4:05 observation.)

Howie Carr is on a roll with with the climate change stuff...Obama should have taken a bus from DC to New London,after all,it is such a pleasant drive up I-95 on the NJ Turnpike. Ha.

'...projected to rise another one to four feet.'

Holy standard deviations, Weatherman!

of course Asimov's Mule in the Foundation tales, somewhat explains Zaphod,

Yes, there's plenty of debate about last century's sea level rise, OL. Devices, data recording, measurement location, et cetera.

Oh, and yeah - we're 13 days away from the seventh anniversary of the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow.

Heartless bastard. Don't you ever stop to think about the people 109.2 generations hence? Huh?

Jane

Yeah Scott Brown - I've got walker (and 1000 other things) on my mind. Sorry

Thomas Collins

Oh darn. I saw 18.2 and 18.21 and 8, and thought there was psi talk. Now I see that it's feet and inches above or below sea level talk.

DrJ

Since narc brought it up, why does everyone talk about health insurance deductibles instead of out-of-pocket maximum? You can a deductible of zero, and have the insurance cover only a small portion (10 or 20%, say) until the max is reached. There are all sorts of actuarial games that can be played with these. But you never hear about the max.

My policy is exception, as the deductible and max are the same.

Old Lurker

What? The deal was not in writing?

Fox "TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's supreme leader vowed Wednesday he will not allow international inspection of Iran's military sites or access to Iranian scientists under any nuclear agreement with world powers.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told military commanders Wednesday that Iran will resist "coercion and excessive demands" from America and other world powers."

They won't be satisfied until they vacuum up all the spare cash in the country. Now Chelse is targeting young readers (middle school-lower high school). This note from a friend of mine:

Chelsea Clinton has a book coming out. She has a deal with Penguin Young Readers for "It's Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going!" the publisher announced Wednesday. The book aims to "inform and inspire" young people to "change the world" and will cover a range of issues from poverty to gender equality, according to Penguin. Publication is scheduled for Sept. 15.

NKonChrome

Deal in writing? yeah, like a persian bazaar dealer's factory warranty.

narciso

that's kind of an old story, PLU grads like Khamenei were instructed on the gullibility of American policy makers, by contrast I refer to the Reagan/Gorbachev negotiations on the INF treaty, where Gorbachev kept pushing Reagan to renege on SDI, Reagan held firm of course, credentialed fools like Brand, seem to think that was our loss,

Beasts of England

I also like the 'highest level of CO2 in 800,000 years' reference. So you're saying that CO2 was at a higher level 900,000 years ago? Before SUVs?

Watch out! Those cherries they've picked have seeds!

Click on Jane's link and The Searchlight Pederast's mug (pre-beatdown) is plastered all over the site. I'd suggest Dingy Harry share a cell with the teenybopper bomber but that would exceed the worst violation of the Eighth ammendment of all time. I still think Harry would consider it...

Yup. When talking about "the hottest year on record" they go aaaaaallllll the way back to 1880. But on CO2 concentration, well, they use a number with fewer 8s and more 0s.

That pub is my cousins pub where she and family go almost every night. I am sending her the NR article. They will be "cheesed" as they say in Harpenden.

I have been there for the Sunday roast and its pretty damn good.

Of course OL was allowed to take his martini shaker and brandy glass up to his room.... after all Mrs. OL isn't cruel.

TC:

But yesterday you had a special dispensation to get away with psi on the current thread because it was your birthday.

Wait. I didn't say anything about that? Oh shoot. My bad.

Jeff Dobbs

NK:

Ah, I never got around to finishing my story from the meetup.

When I walked around back at OL's house, I immediately greeted OL and introduced the family around.

I had some flowers for Mrs OL, so I made my way over to introduce myself and give them to her.

I leaned in and quietly told her, "I have a printout of everything OL has ever said about you on the blog out in the car. How much do you think that would be worth to you?"

She laughed politely.

Later in the evening, I got OL off in a corner and put a hand on his elbow, "I have a printout of everything you have ever said about Mrs OL on JOM out in the car. How much do you think that would be worth to you for me not to show Mrs OL?"

At least I think I did. He had just brought me my third vodka on the rocks, maybe I imagined that one.

So anyway, figuring neither of them actually believed me, I later stuck the printouts in a fairly obscure place on the property.

It will be interesting to see who finds them and how long it takes.

Jack is Lighting!

NIce try. But the snark sticks. Fuck off.

Publius

Jack is Lighting!

Publius lives such a shallow life if his parents didn't have a basement he'd have no life at all.

Publius

You know nothing about my life, but I seem to know almost everything about your life.

Why is that? :)

Because you haven't had the aame diverse, vibratnt and wonderful life I have had. But one where you never left home and explored the world or even thought about leaving for something beyond the single traffic life in your life.

Mr. Dobbs-- I have no idea if you're serious or not. Two things: 'walked around back of the OL house' how long did that take 20? 25 minutes? approximately of course. second, is Mrs. OL as beautiful, charming and genteel as I imagine?
