The Supremes

Submitted by Roanman on Sun, 02/17/2013 - 17:31

 

I was able to come up nothing regarding this performance of my all time favorite Supreme tune except the stuff you likely already know.

This is Diana Ross up front where she belongs, Mary Wilson (center) and Florence Ballard (left) 

The Supremes, also mostly unknown as the Primettes.

Itchin' In My Heart.

 

 

That's about as lame an ending to a Motown tune as I can imagine, but ...........

 

Watching video in the middle of the night ..... again.

I forgot to take my medicine ...... again.

Anyway, this is the first thoughtful, mostly understandable, not politicized to the point of crushing stupidity treatment on the issue of "Global Warming" anyone around here has ever seen.

And best of all, it's pretty good entertainment.

If you're into that kind of thing.

MOSCOW: "I was driving in the car across the square. Suddenly the square lit up with a bright, bright light, not a normal light," said Vasily Rozhko.

"There was literally three or four seconds of bright light, then back to normal. As I could see from the car, this trail appeared. Then when I was driving, the explosion went off," the resident of Chelyabinsk in central Russia told Russian television

Witnesses of the falling meteor over the Russian Urals spoke of their shock and horror Friday at seeing a giant bright light in the sky that many thought was a crashing plane, followed by a loud explosion that blew out windows in many buildings.

A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff.

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”

I knew a transsexual guy whose only ambition is to eat, drink, and be Mary.

I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed.

By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.

Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do “practice”?

When you’re born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you’re born in America, you get a front-row seat.

The future will soon be a thing of the past.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

Cloud nine gets all the publicity, but cloud eight actually is cheaper, less crowded, and has a better view.

I’m always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I’m listening to it.

Most people with low self-esteem have earned it.

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

When you think about it, attention-deficit disorder makes a lot of sense. In this country there isn’t a lot worth paying attention to.

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.

 

Dog's being themselves

It's Westminster week, which means I'm spending the evening in front of the fire watching the dog show with the little wiffer.

Which is an infinitely better pastime than reading the chronically depressing crap I tend to gravitate towards.

And since the dog show was threatened some by the blizzard that swept through the Northeast over the past couple days, I figured dogs in the snow offered an appropriate respite from the news of the day.

 

 

To quote Christopher Jordan Dorner

Christopher Jordan Dorner has likely killed three people and presently is the subject of maybe the single greatest manhunt in American history with a million dollar price on his head.

In the process, he has so thoroughly spooked the LAPD that they are now randomly firing on innocent civilians, and/or refusing to leave their homes.

 

 

"Those of you who 'go along to get along' have no backbone and destroy the foundation of courage. You are the enablers of those who are guilty of misconduct. You are just as guilty as those who break the code of ethics and oath you swore."

 

 

We just spent an hour and a half going through Mr. Dorner's "manifesto" for lack of a better word.

Whoa ..... is about all we can think to say.

Click on the above or Mr. Dorner's photo for the entire 6,000 or so word piece of work

The NDAA lawsuit moves through the courts.

Submitted by Roanman on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 07:28

 

To refresh your memory, about the only bipartisan piece of legislation to make it's way out of our hopelessly poisoned political system in years is the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 which offers up the following atrocity.

 

Subtitle D — Counterterrorism

SEC. 1021. AFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES TO DETAIN COVERED PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE.

(a) IN GENERAL. — Congress affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107–40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) includes the authority for the Armed Forces of the United States to detain covered persons (as defined in subsection (b)) pending disposition under the law of war.

(b) COVERED PERSONS. — A covered person under this section is any person as follows:

(1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks.
(2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners,including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.

(c) DISPOSITION UNDER LAW OF WAR. — The disposition of a person under the law of war as described in subsection (a) may include the following:

(1) Detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.

 

Now, here's the question you might think to be asking yourself.

If someone can be held without trial until the "end of hostilities" how can they possibly seek to demonstrate that a charge of having "supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces" is false?

That's before you even begin to start wondering about the fact that the federal government has supported and partnered with Al Queda for a generation .... think Libya for just the most recent example.

Which of course makes most of both houses of Congress, the last two Presidents of the United States, not to mention the current front runner for the Democrat nomination for President of the United States along with likely most of the CIA, units of "Military Intelligence, and certain investment banks, bankers and hedge funds guilty as sin of this very charge.

Which of course makes it obvious to any thoughtful person that this statute will be pursued selectively.

Not to even mention the fact that Al Queda is an invention of, if not a wholly owned subsidiary of the Federal Government of the United States of America. 

Here's a link to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explaining in one minute and twenty seconds how it is that "We" created Al Queda in the course of running the Soviets out of Afghanistan.

"We" of course meaning for purposes of this conversation, someone other than "Me".

Finally, dwell for a second on the likilhood of an extrememly profitable and useful undeclared war against an enemy that we support financially ever officially coming to an end.

So anyway, here's an eight minute or so interview with Chris Hedges who among others has sued the United States Government in order to have this piece of legislation overturned as unconstitutional, wherein he discusses the progress of his lawsuit.

 

 

Finally, you may wish to reflect on the absence of this issue from you evening news report.

 

 

Kai

Meet Kai.

Kai just went upside some guys head three times with a hatchet.

He pretty much had to, as he explains with extraordinarily profane eloquence.

Warning, the kid can barely go three words without tossing an F-bomb into the sentence.

So if you have an aversion to profanity, DO NOT VIEW THIS VID.

But in his defense, he just went upside some guys head three times with a hatchet, he's a little pumped.

 

 

I just love this kid to pieces, but I'm guessing he's more than a handfull.
