Good morning everyone. It’s only 6:45 and my cup of coffee is already cold. More joe needed.

Good morning all. I took off work yesterday and I’m pretty sure that the person next to me at the new jersey game got me sick. She kept turning and coughing/hacking into her arm but still in my direction. Bitch.

Third time it happened I told her to stop coughing on me and she gave me a dirty look. I wanted to throw her off the 400 level. Or pee in her beer

An adorable story about a puppy at a shelter chewing through alarm wires, which prompted police to show up. The cop adopted the dog and took her home.

Aww. Friends of ours just tried to adopt a shelter dog. It was so unruly that it flunked obdience training. Bye bye, doggie. I don’t know if they’re going to try again.
They’ve almost always had a dog; after the latest one died last year they said they weren’t going to get another, but when their son was home for winter break he had convinced them to get another. I don’t know if they’re going to try again, though.

Kind of weird if you think about it how Catholicism was considered a Liability when JFK was running for president. People don’t think twice about it now. Last election(2008) people were all like “OMG Is the world ready for a Mormon president”. Probably part of the reason Romney lost to McCain. No one seems to give a crap now.
That’s actually the most difficult. According to polling, people are more likely to elect a Muslim or a Gay President than an Atheist president, which is absolutely astonishing to me.
Seriously. What I don’t understand is the staunch belief that atheism precludes being a moral person.

Not a shot, the poll is just that, a poll, in a real election an Atheist wins by a landslide

Newt’s a Cathoic, and he’s getting poleaxed (although that doesn’t have much to do with it). And I think I saw something this morning that Santorum won Iowa in a recount. The Christian Right is still pretty powerful in this country, at least in the Republican base, who are all the people that vote in these things.

All the candidates need to just give up after S.C.. I’m a Ron Paul fan, but I think I’m the only RP fan that doesn’t live in LaLaland.
Lets get this damn GOP nom out of the damn way so the news can start focusing on Syria, where it belongs
the GOP always goes through this. EVERYONE know who the next Anointed One is, but everyone has to pretend there is an actual fight for the nomination to make it look like “democracy” and “the people” are picking the candidate, and not the Republican establishment pulling the levers behind the scenes.
the Democrats aren’t much better.

True, but usually the GOP nomination process never lasts that long.
I can see Perry dropping out after SC, leaving basically just Romney, Paul, Santorum, and Gingrich.
Gingrich will take a few more states to give up when he runs out of money. Santorum will take about as long when he realizes Iowa was a fluke and only nicks will vote for him. And Ron paul will be Ron paul, the scab in Romney’s ass for months. But at that point Romney won’t need to campaign against him

Nicks certainly is into Hail Marys.

I think “if the ball bounces, don’t fucking touch it” shouldn’t have to be a thought process for a punt returner. There is not really “so much going on” in that moment. It’s just you and the ball. Either get there and call a fair catch, or get out of the way.

Aight. Political guesisng game time.
Who’s gonna be Romney’s VP on the ticket.
I’m going with Christie
I genuinely believe the guy when he says he has no interest in the national stage at this point. I doubt it’d be him.
Also, Perry is dropping out to endorse…Gingrich?
Eat, drink, and be merry! And then drink some more.
I genuinely believe the guy when he says he has no interest in the national stage
Didn’t he just say he had no interest in running for president?
Maybe he just didn’t think he had it in him for a long ass nomination battle. If Romney comes at him in June and asks him to be VP after half the work is already done, he might change his mind.
Plus… NJ is a blue state. Pretty damn blue, but maybe not blue enough where if the current Republican governor ran, more democrats would vote for the Romney/Christie ticket than Obama.
Whichever way New Jersey went in that scenario, it doesn’t have enough electoral votes to take the focus away from Ohio/Florida/Pennsylvania. I really hate the electoral college that those three states are pretty much the only ones that matter every time (among other reasons).

I can’t see Christie jumping on that loser ticket. He’ll be up for 2016.

I think Palin made the McCain ticket a loser ticket.
I didn’t vote last election, but if I did I would have been on the fence between McCain and Obama before palin was announced. After Palin hopped on, had I voted, I def would have gone Obama.
And I’m a guy that almost always votes Republican.
She torpedoed that shit
Bob McDonnell?
If I had presidential ambitions, I wouldn’t want to be the VP nominee for Romney. Romney’s too likely to lose.
I agree, it’s going to be really close. A lot of it is going to swing on stuff completely out of Obama and Romney’s control, like whether Europe decides to implode with their debt crisis.
An analyst said the person most important to Obama’s re-election was Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, and whether she could keep the debt crisis from spiraling out of control.
It’ll be close, but as it stands I don’t think sheer money alone can get Romney in the WH, oddly enough. Plus Obama has the backing of most money sources, so at best Wall Street will just hedge their bet with a token amount for Romney.
Democrats lose the senate this year though — lots of seats up. They’ll end up with ~45 senators or something, not counting Lieberman.
Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet 't is early morn:
Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn
Here’s my bigoted theory. In the future, we’ll see a lot more democrats than republicans running things.
General Welfare stance:
Repubs: Quit whining and get a job. It’s your fault your on the street.
Dems: More unemployment insurance! More welfare
The income gap is widening. More and more people are making less and less money, hence more and more people are in the need fore welfare, hence more and more people as time goes on will eventually vote Democrat.
Granted there are a lot of stupid poor people who fall for “exciting new things” like the tea party, which explains the republican takeover in 2010, but people will eventually realize that if they’re poor, republicans ain’t going to do shit for them
This isn’t a rant about being pro or anti-welfare. This is just my observation and prediction.
At some point, we need a national dialogue about how much government we want and how we’re going to pay for it.
We’ve spent too much time half-assing it by running up the national debt. Hey, fighting two wars + a gigantic tax cut + senior drug coverage + worldwide recession leads to huge deficits, imagine that!
P.S. I’d look more at the demographic shifts in race. Hispanics are a growing population and the Republicans are doing a pretty crappy job of recruiting them.
Deficit doesn’t matter too much; especially now. For all the talk of the deficit being A Bad Thing, the dollar is stronger than ever. People are buying our debt for less than pennies on the dollar.
Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet 't is early morn:
Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn
I agree that short-term, we have no debt issue; people are still willing to loan us money at outrageously low interest rates. The only reason S&P downgraded our debt was because they fear the Tea Party is crazy enough to have us default on our debt.
Long-term, the way we’re spending money is not sustainable, but small changes here and there should be enough; biggest issues are an aging population and health care costs skyrocketing.
biggest issues are an aging population and health care costs skyrocketing.
I’m one of the people that believe universal health care would create more people getting preventative care which would result in less health spending per person 20 years down the road.
My support for UHC is just a much a business reason at is a human reason
Capitalism itself isn’t any more sustainable than deficit spending. Why worry about the latter when the former is just as intrinsically linked? The second we stop spending imaginary money (the vast majority of our debt is held by US institutions, money that doesn’t exist other than on a spreadsheet) then the global economy collapses. If we stop spending imaginary money, eventually capitalism can no longer find enough cheap labor to sustain continually increasing profits. Just pick your poison, one or the other will end it all as we know it.
Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet 't is early morn:

I don’t know, I’m just saying that capitalism isn’t a sustainable economic system unless we somehow can find a never-ending supply of people who will work for less money than the people who were building things before them.

How do you figure.
How do you continually increase profits quarter-after-quarter unless you can find cheaper labor quarter-after-quarter? Given that there are finite resources, there’s no other way.

Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn
How do you continually increase profits quarter-after-quarter unless you can find cheaper labor quarter-after-quarter? Given that there are finite resources, there’s no other way.
I dunno.
Cheaper transportation methods. More efficient systems. Less waste. Ability to save enough profit to make larger purchases and receive discounts.
Finite resources is a problem, but it doesn’t have much to do with capitalism. We could all be a bunch of communist anarchists killing deers in the woods. As long as we just Fuckin’… the resources are gonna’ run out.
I’m not saying the alternative can avoid it, I’m just saying capitalism is going to end and it makes the notion of sovereign debt being a problem is silly.
Transportation will never be cheaper; oil is the most efficient possible resource to be used for transportation and we’re at the point now that we’ve used over half of the total oil on Earth. Batteries, fuel cell or other storage mediums can’t match the efficiency/cost of oil. Exotic technology is too far off to even be gauged at efficiency. In short, the people alive now are on the slide down toward a post-oil existence and we’re the last batch to experience cheap, plentiful energy.
Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet 't is early morn:
Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn
Transportation will never be cheaper;
It’s cheaper if you find a closer and closer places to build factories and hubs to decrease the distance between manufacturing and end user. It’s cheaper if you find more efficient ways to transport goods (see the new boeing 787)
Do think that even the tiniest increase in transportation or energy efficiency isn’t going to pay off? Your average supermarket runs on a 2% profit margin. Imagine how long of a ways a tiny bit of wiggle room goes.
Not necessarily. Oil may be going down, but natural gas and coal are still plentiful and natural gas prices are plummeting thanks to fracking. Of course, this is probably contributing to global warming and more than likely screwed with that.
Hopefully technology will improve by the time that these start running out. I’m using a cell phone with more computing power than the entire Apollo project, so maybe we’ll figure something out.
The new boeing 787 consumes 20% less fuel than the 767.
Every 10-20 years there’s going to be some kind of breakthrough which let humans go farther, longer on the same amount of fuel which should decrease transportation costs, if not make them go down.
Eventually we’re going to find a way to use nuclear or solar power to take over
it consumes 20% less fuel than the 767, but uses quite a bit more oil to be produced now. It’s basically admitting that energy now is so much cheaper than energy will be. When it comes time to replace the 787, those sort of gains won’t be available because of the exorbitant cost to create something even more efficient.
Nuclear power isn’t the answer because we have nowhere to place the waste in America. France lucked out and has better geological features for long-term waste storage; something that doesn’t exist in America due to fault lines and aquifers.
Solar has issues because of massive space requirements; it’s generation ability is effective, but only as an “adder” rather than a primary source. Wind has issues, too, but it’s more cost effective than solar. Geothermal is the next best bet, especially in America due to the aforementioned fault lines. The absolute best is hydro, but, that comes with significant ecological harm and in a world where potable water may become a scarce resource you’d be loathe to destroy communities “downwind” of a hydro plant by locking away their water.

Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn
it consumes 20% less fuel than the 767, but uses quite a bit more oil to be produced now
So you’re saying it will use more fuel to make than 40+ years of the fuel it will save flying?
I’m saying it is cheaper to use more energy to produce it now than it will if it was less efficient and burned more fuel in the future but used less energy to be built. It’s admitting that energy isn’t as expensive now as it will be.
Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet 't is early morn:
Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn
Nuclear requires a lot of infrastructure spending too, which has dried up thanks to Fukashima along with the emphasis on renewables. Storage of nuclear waste is more a political issue than a technological one. Alternative energies are definitely having some issues in competing economically with coal/natural gas at the moment.
I’m still waiting for the fusion plants I was promised in all my sci-fi books ;)
On the plus side, the United States seems to have hit our peak oil use period, and from now on, our demand should drop. China and India are probably going to offset those drops though.
Natural Gas and coal require oil to be usable, and more oil is used to pull those from the ground than it does to pull oil from the ground. Plus there’s very little infrastructure for NG (most of it is moved around by oil-burning methods) and coal power plants require deliveries something like every 3 days by diesel burning trains.
Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet 't is early morn:
Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn
Right, but we’re not going to be running out of oil anytime soon. Oil may be getting more expensive and will keep getting more expensive, we won’t ever see $1 gas anymore, but we won’t go from LOTS O’OIL to NO OIL drastically. Expensive oil makes some non-economical oil fields actually make sense, like the oil sands in Canada.
We’ve adjusted to $3 gas, we’ll adjust further.
The problem with the oil sands in Canada is that there isn’t enough water to really make use of the majority of it; especially as climate change (be it man made or not) shifts farmland northward, you won’t see people clamoring for water to be wasted on oil when food and drinking water is scarce.
We’ll see what happens if/when the global economy turns around because the second it does, $4-5 gas becomes the norm. Even in the recession, oil use is still climbing and when it turns around and China/India start clamoring for more and more oil we’ll see prices skyrocket again.
It’s not just transportation, either. From the wallet in your pocket to the rebar in the building all use oil, and not just for moving it from where it is produced to where it ends up.

Republicans are doing a pretty crappy job of recruiting them.
That’s why I’m not particularly fond of Obama. I’ll vote for him, but you know by the timing that any time he does anything to “help immigrants” it’s just to win votes. He doesn’t represent CHANGE for shit. he’s just another lying sack of shit politician.
I’ll give him credit for having the balls to tackle things like health care that even Clinton backed off of.
Ron Paul is the only person that represents real change, whether or not you think its good change or bad change is a different story.
Just because I said he was another sack of shit politician doesn’t mean i don’t think he’s the smartest Mofo out there in politics right now.
:)
One way or another, I’m conservative and I’m still voting for him.
The Christian Right is still pretty powerful in this country,
Yea but it’s funny how some denominations are still weary of other denominations.
The hardcore Christian Right is ready to nuke Iran to protect Isreal, a state based on a religion that’s about as far from Christianity as Islam, but they’re always weary of letting other Christian denominations into the political game
And hell, part of the flak Obama takes is because a good portion of the country thinks he’s a Muslim.

What do you think is the real reason behind that? I think Colbert is secretly trying to get the candidate closest to Romney to get more votes so Romney has to spend even more and more $$$ campaigning, losing steam when it comes time to face Obama

Word was back then the dude was drunk as hell, had his g/f break up with him and he freaked out and got all belligerent throughout the night that they had to kick him out. If he was on K + booze, that would make sense. Terrible combination.
I also heard his family tried to sue Fever for letting someone in a wrecked state just leave the premises
Yup I heard that story, My tin foil hat was always that the owner of fever pushed his own pharmaceuticals and didnt like this guy selling K in his club, so the goons escorted him out, knock him around a little bit and left him on the tracks….We always parked just over the tracks under the bridge…pretty insane sight to see after you ate 5 gel tabs, 2 E pills and snorted 2 20’s of K only hours before….and I drove home

Pledge Drive 2011-2012: CARSON KOLZIG FOUNDATION! Season Pledge total--$1046.66!
so my boss has started this conversation about what is an appropriate age to let your child stay home unsupervised, or go to a friend’s house unsupervised. His son is a freshman in HS. My parents had no problem letting me do so around 13ish, and I pointed out that I and my close friends didn’t give our parents reasons not to trust us (we baked cookies. we watched movies. we gave each other manicures. God, we were boring!). Everyone else in the office seems shocked by this.
my boss is convinced that if he let’s his son be at home tomorrow without the sitter, he’s going to invite every kid from school over and have some ragging mid-day party and wild sex and drink all the alcohol, and somehow clean it all up before the sitter arrives with the younger sister at 3pm.

I’m under the impression that the kid is responsible, gets good grades, isn’t hanging out with the sex-and-drugs crowd. I’m mildly shocked at how clearly he’s not trusted to make the right decision. My boss kept saying “We have to protect him from making bad choices.”

This means he hasn’t learned, as a very young kid, how to deal with the consequences of his actions when the consequences are still rather minor in the scheme of things, but huge when you’re, say, five.
There's always more to learn about Hockey.
yeah. this kid is being set up to fail in college and adulthood. Can you imagine not being allowed to do anything without adult supervision, and then getting turned loose in college? Yikes.

My parents were incredibly strict throughout high school with me. It wasn’t to the degree you’re talking about but soon as I lived in a dorm my grades plummeted because nobody could tell me I wasn’t allowed to do anything.
"I wear tinted visor not to trick other players, but so hot girls in stands don't see me looking at them" - Alex Ovechkin
I’m late to the rink today, but I HAD to comment on this teenager thing. It’s amazing how some people who don’t even have kids (Birdie, WOI) have more common sense about children than some parents. It seems this might be your boss’ oldest child, ergo, hasn’t learned from their mistakes yet situation. This poor kid. A baby sitter at 14? My kids were baby sitting at 14. Responsibility is earned and learned. They should have started with smaller steps at a younger age…like 12…going to the mall with friends with very specific rules…short periods of time home alone or with a friend during the day…movie night at home with a couple friends while the parents went out for a bite. You can’t go from 0 to 60 overnight. Mistakes and bad choices are going to happen, but they can be minimized if you start early and gradually…the mistakes are smaller and hopefully the big ones can be avoided. I’ve had my share of “Oh, mom you were right, I wish I had listened to you” THAT will happen no matter what you do. I was going to say, as long as they don’t end up in jail, but that may happen, too. As long as they stay safe! I have two away at college and one left at home…I worry every day, but I have to let them go…sniff, sniff.
I imagine it has to be a bit terrifying every time you let your children take that next step: staying home alone, riding the metro alone, driving, college….absolutely terrifying, probably.

I don’t know if I paid much attention, but I am pretty sure that by 13 I was alone in the house with no problem.

No, really. my parents never had a sitter for me at that age.

I was babysitting my kid sister at age 11 when my parents would go out. Would I trust my kids to watch only themselves at ages 11 and 13? Eh, I dunno…
You’re the boss, applesauce.
I would, depending on how long I’d be out. If I was going out to a dinner with my wife and my kids were going to be doing homework or watching TV for a couple hours, that seems reasonable.
I really hope I remember I said this in 10-12 years…
also, do you have neighbors that you trust? Will they be home during that time? Do you trust your kid(s) to call or go to the neighbor if something happens? That’s how it worked in our house. The neighbors next to us and the ones across the street knew us well and my parents always had one of them (discreetly) keeping an eye on the house while they were out, and it was drilled into our heads that if ANYTHING happened we were to go to the neighbor’s house.

My parents live 5 minutes from our house, so they’d probably be the go-to people in case of emergency.
Don’t really know our neighbors all that well and we live in a townhouse (the shame) :(
get to know them, and get your kids to know them. The one time I came home from school to an unlocked house (my mom had just forgotten to lock it behind her when she took from little brothers to school before work, but I didn’t know that), I made a beeline to one of those trusted neighbors, who took charge, made sure the house was okay, and then let me stay with her and eat cookies until my mom came home.

Younger S started walking home from school alone in 3rd grade. It was three blocks; the crossing guard was halfway home, and I could see him coming from there. We started with letting the kids stay home while we were grocery shopping, then moved to going out to dinner sans kids, and then to weekends. It was a gradual process, and the guys never gave us any reason for concern. In middle school we were the house that had the sleepovers (6-10 middle school boys and the hilarity and chaos that ensues). Got to know the other kids and their parents.
We never had a problem in HS. Neither kid was interested in drinking, and by and large, their friends weren’t either.
We also let neighbors know if we were going to be gone, and they’d let us know if one of their kids was home alone. We also checked in regularly by phone, and the kids did call from time to time if there were any issues. There are those who would be horrified at leaving kids home alone, but they’ve got to learn independence at some point, and better that they learn with some sort of a safety net.
We also swapped keys with neighbors — if kids came home and forgot their key, there were two or three neighbors who had a spare key, and generally at least one would be around. I had plenty of knocks on my door from neighbor kids who had locked themselves out.

RIP Johnny Otis
RIP: Johnny Otis, often referred to as the Godfather of Rhythm and Blues, passed away in his LA home yesterday after struggling with ill health for years. He was 90.
Otis, a white man born to Greek immigrants, was raised in a black neighborhood in Berkeley where he developed a strong predilection for black culture. He changed his name from John Veliotes to the more "black sounding" Johnny Otis when he was a teenage.
"As a kid, I decided that if our society dictated that one had to be black or white, I would be black," Otis was quoted as saying. His olive complexion led many to believe Otis was actually black.
The singer, songwriter, bandleader, and radio host had many hits during the 40′s and 50′s. However, his biggest chart-topper by far was "Willie and the Hand Jive" (above).
Otis wrote songs for and influenced many of R&B and rock and roll’s greatest vocalists, including Etta James, Gladys Knight, and Elvis Presley.
Later in life, Otis dabbled in other art forms and even politics, but always returned to his first love — music. He opened an organic grocery store where he would perform for customers every Friday and Saturday night.
Otis leaves behind a wife, two sons, two daughters, and a number of grandchildren.

yeah I’m kind of shocked, Peugeot had the 908 sorted out but ACO did re-write the rules to make diesels not run the show (the ACO really was wanting to see more hybrids out there) so it makes sense. The cost of running a team, especially a factory backed, means less and less factory prototypes and more privateers on Lola/Panoz/etc chassis with drop-in engines
Can’t say I’m exactly displeased — the old GT1 class was such a snorefest when the entire race hinged on whether one of the Corvettes would crash or whether one of the Astons would break down. The new GT classes are so, so much better and seem to be cheaper — lots more small timer ALMS teams showing up.
Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet 't is early morn:
Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn
I need to get a bit more into the race this year. The past few I’ve only caught bits and pieces. Now that I’m almost finished reading Go Like Hell I’m getting much more interested in it. There have also been some interesting developments in F1 during the off-season. Mainly with driver changes.

Obligatory insta-collapse for Wisco ...
