Traditional Saturday After Thanksgiving Open Thread

Fun Fact: On November 28, 1925 the first broadcast of the Grand Ole Opry aired live on the radio, under its original name the WSM Barn Dance. At the time, the show aired after an NBC radio program featuring opera and classical music. On December 10, 1927 host George Day opened the show by saying, "For the past hour, we have been listening to music taken largely from Grand Opera. From now on, we will present the 'Grand Ole Opry'."

The Grand Ole Opry is the longest-running radio broadcast in US history. Happy 90th birthday.

I beat Gmax and I am first
Sorry Hit
I know you don't like that game

Howdy.

Back from The Good Dinosaur. Recommend highly to all.

Michigan 10 - OSU 14. Minute to go. Good game I guess, just turned it on.

Heh, maryrose...you know what else I don't like?

As I mentioned at the end of the other thread I am featured as one of the interviewees along with Allen Keyes and Trevor Loudon and others in the trailer for the new movie Agenda 2: Masters of Deceit. http://www.agendadocumentary.com/

[maryd]

Wow rse! If I counted right, you're one of only two women in the trailer.
Congratulations!

[Miss Marple 2]

They had to arrange for Trump to speak to the crowd outside before he goes into the Sarasota arena.

Fourteen thousand ticket requests and the arena only holds 5100.

Also, there is a live elephant. LOL!

I was most amused to hear the Fox gal say "He has a big crowd in Sarasota but that's nothing new for him."

Then, they show clips of that Kasich group's ad and then tell us about how Ben Carson is in Jordan.

Still no coverage of Kasich, though. HAHAHA!

Rove definitely doesn't want Trump

OK Robin. That trailer scared the cr*p out of me and I am the scrooge around here - well along with James of course. And Squaredance. And Gus.

From the previous thread and ManTran's comment about being able to fix things, I can attest that farmers (I'm married to one) can fix just about anything.

I'll have you know our tree went up yesterday, the Christmas cards are all written out and ready to mail, and I've spent the afternoon wrapping the gifts (which are all bought for everyone on my list except for one last person who's very difficult to buy for).

[2020, you say? Is that early or late?]

They should've worked 'neuro-psychological engineering for a collectivist political purpose' into that trailer.

[pagar a bacon, ham and sausage supporter]

Just trying to understand: What was going on?
""Cowart told CNN she believes all staff and patients from the clinic are accounted for."

"But Guttmacher concedes that it might undercount the number by 3%. Add that 3% and it yields a total of 56,662,169 abortions since 1973."

1585 today and going up. The most senseless slaughter of Americans ever, IMO.

[maryd]

You're giving me an inadequacy attack, James D. Please stop!

[Buckeye]

I live in a neighborhood full of doctors and attorneys who don't fix anything themselves, and most couldn't if they wanted to. For the most part, simply a couple generations away from the family farm and no mentors.

I do almost everything myself. I say I do it because I can. Mrs. Buckeye says it is because I am a tightwad. I'm OK with that.

[Carefully countimg long spoons.]

I remember the circumstances under which I first recommended 'Childhood's End' to you. And now, the devils, they presume our end of the bargain without delivering theirs.

Speaking of falling, the tree, undecorated, fell about 5 minutes after everyone had left and I was vacuuming needles. I caught it with one hand and am trying to shift sofa while holding a ten foot tree.

After wrestling it and sofa to it could rest until someone returned, I came downstairs to an email with that link and asking where courtesy videos could be sent to. Nice pick me up as I deal with someone who thinks having read my book they are free to do speaking engagements is a-ok. The person had also lid to me when I inquired months ago as to what they thought they were doing.

The good news is favorite wine shop is having 25% off sale this weekend and I finally made it an hour ago.

Congrats DrJ
I am so happy for your family

Wow, DrJ. That is a big guy!

Congrats.

[Beasts of England]

Congrats, DrJ!! Love the name, too!

Happy birthday Hiro!!

Congrats Dr J. With my oldest I went into hard labor about the time I was sent home, but I was bored and so we left. Having been at hospital all night hubby was hungry so we stopped at McD's drive through and the cashier asked what was wrong. Hubby said she's having a baby. Cashier told us to hurry on. She apparently assumed we wanted a McMuffin fix on the way to hospital

[Rick Ballard]

Congratulations, DrJ. Sounds like Hiro is off to a very healthy start.

Watching Fox this morning in the locker room at the gym, a remark was made that seemed to say that the shooter in Colorado was inside the PP building, shooting at people outside the building.

I was changing and not paying much attention to the TV, so likely enough I got it wrong. But it would explain why no one at PP was harmed.

[DrJ]

Thanks all! My step daughter's last three kids all weighed over nine pounds at birth.

They already have a nickname chosen for him, at least when he hits about two: T Rex.

[James D.]

Congrats, DrJ and family!

[Jack is Back (from the beach)]

TK,

I was going to remark that the only one missing in that trailer was you:)

Christmas parade at 4:30. Look for pics on my FB page. Santa rides on the back of our VFD ladder truck. Light the tree in Agawam Park at 5:15. Then everyone goes and gets good and drunk because they know they will be dead broke by the end of the month.

Merry Christmas!

From narciso: http://www.redstate.com/2015/11/26/myth-4-million-conservative-voters-stayed-home-2012/

While I appreciate how well he hammers Rafael and his truth telling, I'm not so sure he resolves anything. For instance, how many of the Romney voters were Appalleds?

Romney could have had more votes, without the Chick-fil-A crowd having to punch a single chad for his lame ass, just from the change of hope voters alone.

[Threadkiller]

Are Planned Parenthood facilities "gun free?"

[Jack is Back (from the beach)]

This is one of those believe it or not tyype of articles. But if true then we have a not a failed administration but a felonious and traitorious one that should be not impeached but overthrown by military force. I know that is extra-unconstitutional but impeachment takes too long and even our FF said we could change governments if they got out of hand.

http://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-blog/obama-don-t-acknowledge-terrorism-or-they-win-t17242.html

[Miss Marple 2]

Jack,

That article is from 2012.

If we had those drones and the Ac-130 there, why hasn't it come out? Why hasn't it been publicized.

All the testimony I have heard is sort of passing the buck or explaining why they couldn't get there or other excuses.

Either this article is wrong, or the order WAS given to stand down and it came from Obama or Jarrett, in which case it has been buried to keep Obama from being hauled away in leg irons or worse, with the subsequent oft-theorized Civil War.

[Marlene]

Congratulations, DrJ !

[Cecil Turner]

This is one of those believe it or not tyype of articles.

Not so much. It's one of those "we made some sh!t up, now prove us wrong" type of articles. Not to restart an old argument, but there's zero evidence of an armed aircraft over Benghazi, and a review of available assets showed they weren't ready for use.

Moreover, overclaiming on this issue has rendered it toxic for our side. If you're accusing the other side of lying to the public (which they are demonstrably guilty of), the one thing you have to avoid is . . .

[peter]

well my second day of trap shooting didn't go so well. I started out great; after missing the first clay, I shot five in a row. followed by a precipitous decline. Even humming "Kill the Wabbit" to myself didn't help.

That happens. What flights were you using? Right to left - left to right or short or high? What angles?

The only chance I get out here is the Maidstone Gun Club. Takes a whle.

Thinking about a Remington 870 20ga. for Frederick. He is anxious and wants to go for ducks this year. We have two blinds we can use on Shinnecock.

[peter]

Way to go Dr. J.

[peter]

Well, MSN news, that lame outlet that shows up when I log out of my hotmail account says the shooter's motives are unclear. That can only mean that he's a registered Democrat or at the very least irrefutable evidence will come out that he's not right wing.

TK-I have not seen the finished product. My editor was at the interview that was supposed to be an hour and went almost two as Curtis decided to ask additional questions because he said I was just so matter of fact and with great detail.

This interview request came from me writing about the Belmont Forum, Challenge, and Earth System Partnership from the original documents. I was and am the only person to lay out that agenda and originally the sequel was about the ruse of Sustainability.

The first movie sold more than a million copies on video at the point I said yes to the interview. I did not know I would even make it into film, much less that trailer.

I do know that everything I write or say is provable before I put it out there and I have figured out where it fits in to the broader story. If people with power are quietly asserting among their perceived peers what they are going to do to us at our expense and I can prove it, we should be able to talk about it.

Not Serfs Yet as one of my readers really did turn into a bumper sticker.

[Jane]

Congrats Dr J!
I've got 8 grand nieces and nephews as well as 3 nieces and nephews born in November and December.

I posted a different link to the Grayson clown, henry.

It really is a shame Cruz did not take this issue seriously. With Obama's stacked courts, we will see if standing matters anymore.

Gander Mt has the youth model (13" LOP) of the 870/20ga at $310 plus a $50 rebate thru 11/30.

Can't think of a better value than that. $260 for a new shotgun.

Back from Parade. Go to my FB for photos.

Buckeye, thanks for the tip. Exactly what I needed and the length is perfect. No Gander Mtn. around here (God forbid). Will have to mail order and go through all the hoops.

Hello, Beasts! How about those red Apples:) You literally see the steam coming out of Saban's ears. LOL.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

peter,
That's extremely common.
You start out with no thinking, just instinct.
Then the brain takes over and pretty soon you're overthinking everything and trying to adjust for the last miss and pretty soon you're a mess.
A luck few never lose the naive natural zen of shotgun shooting.
Everyone else has to practice and learn and practice and learn until it becomes automatic, which is the man made version of being a natural.

[Beasts of England]

I've run out of expletives. Next move is breaking stuff. This shouldn't even be a game. I'm feeling really sick. Ugh

[Beasts of England]

I'll tell you how bad it is: my ex has called to commiserate three times so far. And even she's cursing. That's something.

And I'm not gonna break anything - I shouldn't have said that.

Either one at Alabama? At the game?

If Derrick Henry doesn't win the Heiseman than who the hell is his competition? What a game.

Of all the top 4 I have seen, 'Bama looks the one to beat. I don't think Clemson is that strong and if its Iowa forget it. OSU sitll has a chance and a high powered offense could be a difference. But right now, no team in America plays like Alabama or Derrick Henry.

Yes, sorry, should've refreshed before posting. (Hey, at least I'm previewing . . . usually.)

Pagar,

It doesn't, except if you think that Chicago didn't want them crying and carrying on all over the TV and radio, stirring up riots and stuff.

It was probably a pay-off to avoid even more problems, but I would have made them sign a form if they said ONE WORD in public they would be charged with child neglect and all money would be confiscated.

[Jane]

I'm sure they just took it out of the pension fund, Pagar.

I can't figure out how they had standing. My guess is it was hush money.
