Robert C. J. Parry (a5133c) — 12/30/2012 @ 9:25 pmHow about I give up my gun when all those politicians and celebrities give up their bodyguards’ guns?
Except, I don’t own a gun. They do, though. And they want you to know who matters. It’s not you.

Funny how the teen girls that made your heart flutter when you were a teen yourself are still fair game for admiration even when you are an old-timer like me (while their peers look like kids)…I agree, she was a honey in that movie, made a handful more afterwards and for some reason fell out of the business. So many reasons why this might have happened; I could look it up.
Of course, her costar in that movie went on to bigger and better things but I think that was his first starring role, and you can basically see every scenery-chewing performance he’s given since presaged in this one.
That film has a terrific soundtrack, which went unreleased for years and years because the various “record companies” involved couldn’t work out the necessary rights. When it was eventually released decades later, the market for it had mostly evaporated.
Pious Agnostic (20c167) — 12/31/2012 @ 6:57 amEven (?) the DAILY BEAST is suspicious of Hillary Clinton’s illness:
How Serious Is Hillary Clinton’s Blood Clot and Hospitalization? Dec 31, 2012 4:45 AM EST
Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:04 amBackground: Hillary Clinton was admitted last night to New York Presbyterian Hospital, one of the top hospitals in New York, for treatment of a blood clot discovered Sunday. She was staying in Chappaqua.
She will stay in the hospital at least two days.
Clinton spokesman Phillipe Rein said (in a prepared statement according to the New York times) that physicians are worried about “other issues associated with her concussion” but declined to elaborate, according to the New York Daily News.
The Daily News has this on page 2, but the New York Post has this as its front page headline. It doesn’t seem to be at all in the New York Times.
It’s on the web page, though:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/31/us/hillary-clinton-goes-to-hospital-after-exam-finds-a-blood-clot.html?hp
And the web page says it appeared on page A11, and yes, it’s there, running down column 1, almost all the way to the bottom. the Wall Street Journal has it on page A7.
The National Enquirer says it is a brain tumor. The National Enquirer is close to Clinton, so that rules out a brain tumor, which isn’t likely anyway in the first place..
I’d suspect some other kind of cancer, or maybe not cancer at all..perhaps she’s being poisoned.
Since the doctors are more likely to omit information than to flat out lie, I’d say she probably fell. I’d say she has low calcium, and the fall and the clot could be related to medicine she’s taking.
Now what drugs would cause bone thinning and clots?
Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:17 amSomething about the Sandy Hook massacre is bothering me.
First reports said that Lanza used pistols to kill the children and teachers. The police found the Bushmaster in his car. The original 911 call said the shooter had two guns, not three. Isn’t that report a rather odd mistake for police to make? Huff Po reported:
“The gunman drove to the school in his mother’s car, the second official said. Three guns were found — a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols, inside the school, and a .223-caliber rifle in the back of a car.”
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/14/sandy-hook-elementary-school-shooting_n_2300831.html
The original breaking AP News links have been removed. The school was cordoned off for several days while investigators were “processing” the crime scene.
The pols in Connecticut don’t like “assault weapons.” Cops don’t like them in the hands of civilians. The President doesn’t like them either. Unfortunately for the gun banners, the AR15 Holmes used in Aurora and the one the shooter at the Clackamas Mall used had their mags jam. The lethality argument wasn’t strong. In Newtown, the shooter, 20 children and 6 teachers were dead. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Did the police and their media enablers alter the facts? What harm would it do? Why not report something that contributes to the greater good? Did they fit this horrendous crime to a narrative as they did with Trayvon Martin case?
The Obama Administration armed thousands of Sinaloa gunmen to get semiautomatic weapons banned. What makes us think he would stop there?
Arch (0baa7b) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:25 amShe’ll get better eventually. Or not.
If she were faking just to avoid the congress, it would have been easier to show up and lie. The blogs would have covered it and the media would have covered it up as usual.
Hillary’s problem is she would be honest before congress. She has been all along. Check the wikileaked state department docs.
So I’ll assume she did fall and bust her head. She probably has the blood clot, just like the news says.
Get well soon, Hillary.
And happy New Year.
papertiger (e55ba0) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:40 am16. Adam Lanza actually had four guns with him. One he left in the car. It was a shotgun, I think. It was not the Bushmaster rifle. (on Dec 19 CNN said the policve had given no details about the shotgun but I did read something)
He killed himself with a pistol. I suppose it took them time to find the rifle.
http://www.redstate.com/2012/12/27/setting-the-record-straight-adam-lanza-did-use-the-bushmaster-ar-15/
They also said at first he had been buzzed in. Actually he shot the glass in the door. (if he had been buzzed in, he wouldn’t have been able to carry the rifle with him)
The children were definitely shot with a rifle. that has stayed consistenmt and would explain the multiple bullets and why there were very few wounded but not killed. One teacher at least was wounded but not killed.
Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:41 amOne comment at the RedState site lists 10 errors early the first day: (is this all the first hour or so?)
Disgruntled parent of student
Teacher’s son
Two shooters
One suspect under arrest
Body of shooter’s father found at house.
Body of shooter’s brother found at house.
Suspects name is Ryan Lanza
Suspect was ‘buzzed in at school because he was recognized’.
Target was shooter’s mother who is a teacher at Sandy Hook
Shooter’s mother was teacher’s aide at Sandy Hook.
=============================
Actually, Adam Lanza was home schooled for a while, but his mother was not otherwise a teacher. His connection to that school was that he attended it until his mother took him out to home school him. He later attended public school again.
He was carrying ID that said Ryan Lanza. Police wnet to Ryan Lanza’s home (in New Jersey) and discovered Ryan Lanza was alive, and pretty soon, after arresting him, that he had no connection with the shooting.
His parents were divorced, his father didn’t live there, and he had killed his mother.
Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:53 amHillary’s problem is she would be honest before congress.
You’re kidding.
Gerald A (f26857) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:58 amSammy:
Believe me, I’m not saying that the press doesn’t make serious mistakes in their reporting.
The original report was very specific. The 911 caller said “two pistols.” A Bushmaster wouldn’t be misidentified as a Glock or a Sig Sauer. The weapon in the car was a “.223 caliber rifle.”
My point is that the errors are troubling because the final report aligns itself perfectly with the gun control story. There will be no trial where evidence must be presented under oath. It’s too perfect.
Arch (0baa7b) — 12/31/2012 @ 8:05 amno not kidding.
Think about it. Why would you fake an illness to avoid a hearing where you are going to lie?
The lie would have few if any consequences, thanks to our media.
She doesn’t need to fake an illness in that situation – hence she is planning on telling the truth.
Since she’s going to tell the truth (maybe not all of the truth – but the things she says will be true to her best recollection) she doesn’t need to fake an illness to get out of it.
Hill has a head ache – and a blood clot – don’t doubt it.
papertiger (e55ba0) — 12/31/2012 @ 8:12 amOp-ed article in the New York Times today:
Let’s Give Up on the Constitution
Not because of the Second Amendment. Because of the fiscal cliff!
Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 12/31/2012 @ 8:15 amA movie no one saw caused imaginary violent demonstrations in Benghazi which resulted in the death of the US Ambassador and 3 other Americans while Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, David Petreaus, et al, watched the attack unfold in real-time from the comfort and safety of the White House Situation Room.
As American land and sea forces assembled to attempt a rescue of the embattled Americans someone not yet identified by name ordered the Army and Navy response forces to stand-down, an order which could only come under the direct authority of the Commander-in-Chief. Both the Army General and the Navy Admiral organizing rescue operations were relieved of command to prevent them from going ahead anyway and deploying US armed forces to save the dozens of Americans under attack in Benghazi.
Since then the Obama Administration has been engaged in a widespread cover-up. They have manufactured excuses, delayed investigations, sent liars out to deceive us with blatantly phony disinformation, and stonewalled Congressional oversight committees.
Other than the Commander-in-Chief himself, Hillary Clinton has been the most elusive, first she failed to come forward and explain the State Department’s role in the matter or her personal involvement. Next, the despicible Susan Rice tried to misrepresent the facts and failed. Then Hillary ducked Congressional inquiry to go wine tasting in Australia, then she got a stomach flu and fainted, now she’s hospitalized with a blood clot.
Is Hillary faking illness to avoid testifying? Who can say for sure? I can’t, but I don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
Hillary Clinton has a long established and crystal clear record of evading tough questions. Her memory always seems to vanish or get fuzzy at exactly the points when honest answers would shine the bright light of direct personal responsibility right in her smirking face.
And, you can bet your blue dress on that one.

That gets it wrong. They only got half orders to get ready. An order to cross an international border without permission from the government would have to come from teh Comamndrer in chief.
here is my (imperfect) timeline on this period:
Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 12/31/2012 @ 9:17 amNo Sammy, the apology came before the protest, which was more likely occasioned by the AQ tape,

happyfeet (e0d3f6) — 12/31/2012 @ 9:45 amClinton. You can get intracranial (sp?) blood clots from a fall; usually now these are surgically removed if they are large, small ones are watched in the hope they’ll go away. My guess is that it’s a blood clot in her leg, she’s had that before, and it’s prone to repeat.
Newtown. Bizarre mistakes are often made in the first day or two. There were some doozies.
htom (412a17) — 12/31/2012 @ 9:46 amwhy does everything always have to be so opaque with her

But then you might not read it.
Oh, wait…
Kevin M (bf8ad7) — 12/31/2012 @ 10:16 amSo, seeing as how we are giving up on the Constitution, how long before the NY Times suggests that the 22nd Amendment should be repealed? Or ignored?
Kevin M (bf8ad7) — 12/31/2012 @ 10:18 amI think they’re too aware of the massive number of guns in America to propose ignoring the 22nd Amendment at this particular juncture.
Leviticus (17b7a5) — 12/31/2012 @ 10:34 amI have just watched President Barack Obama address the fiscal cliff negotiations before a friendly and highly partisan crowd. What a small, disrepectful, uninspirational, petty, non-truth telling man he is. I urge you to find a video and watch for yourselves if you did not see it live.

Someone needs to slog through the 27 autopsy reports to see the coronor’s determination of death.
askeptic (2bb434) — 12/31/2012 @ 12:36 pmA GSW from either a 9mm (Sig) or 10mm (Glock) pistol will be quite different than that of a 5.56/.223 round.
Have the coronor’s reports been made public yet?
The “ban it” mentality really is a slippery slope.
SPQR (768505) — 12/31/2012 @ 12:39 pmI’ve got a bunch of .223 ammo on order, but the pipeline is not being cooperative.

No Sammy, the apology came before the protest,
I know that was earlier in the day, and later on, after the embassy had been breached and the (Al Qaeda?) flag run up whoever was managing the Twitter account for the embassy said they stood by what they said (not so much an apology as a protestation of innocence and repudiation of the video, which however amounts to an apology for freedom of religion here) And that stood as the U.S. government position as far as anybody knew
And there was no statement coming out of Washington, and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney decided to issue a statement, but embargoed it for midnight, so that he wouldn’t be making any political statements on September 11th, but, possibly because they heard about it, the State Department rushed out a statement after 10 PM and so Mitt Romney lifted the embargo. They had been busy with Benghazi since 3:40 pm but it didn’t hit the news.
I was never clear at what stage the statement by the Cairo embassy was issued – I know it was before the embassy was stormed.
which was more likely occasioned by the AQ tape,
The apology was occasioned by the al Qaeda tape? The al Qaeda tape (you mean the Al Faroq? some kind of TV) said nothing about the video.
There were also two Al Qaeda videos, one on Sept 10, and one on Sept 11th.
The Muhammed video had been broadcast on Egyptian TV on Sept 9 I understand.
Somewhere they must have been told at the embassy there was going to be a big demonstration about the video. Was there even a scintillas of truth about that? And if so, what was the scintilla?
Sammy Finkelman (ce04e1) — 12/31/2012 @ 1:20 pm44. One thing that’s been made public is that all the childen who died – not necessarily saying so for the teachers – had at least 3 bullet wounds.
There was at least one person who worked for the school who was wounded but not killed. She crawled back into the principal’s office.
Sammy Finkelman (ce04e1) — 12/31/2012 @ 1:23 pm37. Can you get a transcript? I think maybe the White House might issue one.
Sammy Finkelman (ce04e1) — 12/31/2012 @ 1:24 pmParagraph poster, was that a novel?
mg (31009b) — 12/31/2012 @ 1:29 pmSammy, instead of posting walls-of-text, spend some time looking for that transcript you desire.
askeptic (2bb434) — 12/31/2012 @ 1:34 pmhappyfeet, I must say that I am offended – offended, sir – that you would use a word like “hoochie” when referring to our esteemed Secretary of State. OFFENDED, sir. Why, after all the stick you got for using the exact same word to describe Sarah Palin. I’m sure the objections are right on the verge of pouring in, by the way – just you wait!
Offended, sir. Irked, even.
Leviticus (17b7a5) — 12/31/2012 @ 1:45 pmHill’s moral character would have a lot more defenders if her history didn’t include enabling Bill and blaming it all on the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”!
askeptic (2bb434) — 12/31/2012 @ 1:48 pmLeviticus, we’ve not established just what happyfeet thinks “hoochie” means …
SPQR (768505) — 12/31/2012 @ 1:55 pmWell, recalling the whole Palin dust-up, I am nonetheless offended, sir.
Leviticus (17b7a5) — 12/31/2012 @ 1:58 pmYour standards seem very flexible.
askeptic (2bb434) — 12/31/2012 @ 1:59 pmI’m pretty sure happyfeet used “hoochie” for Palin too.
SPQR (768505) — 12/31/2012 @ 2:02 pmHe’s used that term to indict almost every female in public life.
askeptic (2bb434) — 12/31/2012 @ 2:07 pmIt’s almost like the Boy Who Cried Wolfe.
Or, calling someone a Racist.
At some point, it just becomes background noise.
I’d bet that happyfeet has called me “hoochie” …
SPQR (768505) — 12/31/2012 @ 2:10 pmOh my God. YES. I KNOW. THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT.
Everybody got their feathers all ruffled up when happyfeet called Palin a “hoochie.” I don’t see anyone expending the same indignation defending Clinton.
Leviticus (17b7a5) — 12/31/2012 @ 2:15 pmI welcome happyfeets’s’s’s sort of equal-opportunity contempt, by the way. I think it’s exactly what this country’s politics need. Respect for people of all political stripes, contempt for politicians of all political stripes.
Leviticus (17b7a5) — 12/31/2012 @ 2:17 pmWell, it’s different see because we don’t really like Clinton.

Tillman (51d7aa) — 12/31/2012 @ 2:20 pmEvery woman who comments on this blog (and many of the males) has asked potty mouth feets to cool it with the whore and the hoochie words numerous times. He ignored those entreaties to change which therefore suggests he just does it for the attention and/or because such words give him a boner when he writes them. People can choose to be “offended”, or they can consider the source and decide to roll their eyes and ignore it. My advice is to take the latter approach.

And maybe Hillary is a hoochie, so there’s no need to object to feets calling her one. I don’t know, because I’m not quite sure what a “hoochie” is. I just know it’s an insult, and therefore I get offended when he calls Palin one, because she doesn’t deserve insults. The Wicked Witch of Westchester (formerly known as Lady Macbeth) certainly deserves many insults; perhaps “hoochie” is one of them.
Milhouse (15b6fd) — 12/31/2012 @ 3:41 pmThis isn’t much help.

Leviticus (17b7a5) — 12/31/2012 @ 3:45 pmthere’s a helpful song at #70 Mr. Milhouse…

narciso (3fec35) — 12/31/2012 @ 3:51 pmAh, see from the song I’d assume that “hoochie mama” is the inhabitant of a hooch in the 3rd sense given, or perhaps, by a sort of fusion of that meaning of “hooch” with this one, it might mean the proprietress of a shebeen.
Milhouse (15b6fd) — 12/31/2012 @ 3:56 pmI love her more than beans Mr. narciso have you heard her new one?
happyfeet (ae1213) — 12/31/2012 @ 3:56 pmGet Well GHWB.
mg (31009b) — 12/31/2012 @ 3:57 pmGet serious Lady Pant Dress.
a hoochie mama is distinct from a respectable woman is the key thing Mr. Milhouse… cause of she made bad choices
happyfeet (ae1213) — 12/31/2012 @ 4:01 pmCnn is saying Hillary has a clot in her brain area
happyfeet (ae1213) — 12/31/2012 @ 4:04 pmit doesn’t seem super serious really
happyfeet (ae1213) — 12/31/2012 @ 4:05 pmAh, but I wouldn’t think to associate “hoochie” with “hoochie mama”, because surely in that phrase the woman so described is a “mama” (in some sense) of a “hoochie”, which would be some sort of location. No?
Milhouse (15b6fd) — 12/31/2012 @ 4:07 pmIt can’t be super-serious or it might interfere with 2016. That can’t be allowed.
Milhouse (15b6fd) — 12/31/2012 @ 4:08 pmNonono
hoochie is just short for hoochie mama
they’re the same thing
happyfeet (ae1213) — 12/31/2012 @ 4:09 pmI mean a “welfare queen” isn’t a “welfare”. And a “disco queen” isn’t a “disco”.
Milhouse (15b6fd) — 12/31/2012 @ 4:11 pmnevertheless

BTW: Thanks again, JD, for your kind words and support.
L.N. Smithee (ff9043) — 12/31/2012 @ 5:00 pmMy point was not that it was or was not acceptable to call either Palin or Clinton “hoochie”. My point was that its pretty clear that the word has one meaning for happyfeet and a different one for the rest of the world. And not necessarily a consistent one for happyfeet.
SPQR (768505) — 12/31/2012 @ 5:05 pmWhen I was in high school in the late 70s I remember many intense conversations with friends of the Southern Babtist persuasion who were very knowledgeable about the book of Revelations and all it predicted about the coming Apocalypse.
Not being a Believer myself, all it did was sort-of scare me, but one thing I do remember is that they were totally certain that the Anti-Christ would become the President after suffering some sort of head wound.
I can’t help but wonder if my old high school chums and their co-coreligionist are checking off “head-wound” on their Spot-The-AntiChrist Bingo cards.

All magazines I have seen are either stamped steel that is crimped / spot welded together with channels on the bottom so the bottom plate can be removed for cleaning ect.. Or made from plastic with a removable bottom plate.
I am being technical here, but milling a magazine is just beyond crazy. First off it would take forever to whittle that large steel, aluminum etc.. billet down to size. It would be the most expensive ammo mag in the world though. I am not saying it can’t be done, I am saying it would take a ton of work and a ton more work after that.
I am sure the world market would keep the US supplied with underground magazines that cost far less then making our own.
Other than that, your comment is spot on.

LOL… I wasn’t that quick, but did catch him at the Long Beach Arena in March of ’73. Such a unique experience… great show and weird peeps… I remember some male fan wearing a speedo and painted head to toe in gold paint.

How do you say the year?
Is it:
A. Two-thousand and Twelve
B. Two Thousand Twelve
C. Twenty Twelve
D. Nineteen One Hundred and Twelve
E. Nineteen One Twelve.
If it changes depending on the year, at what year do you….
1) drop the “and”
AND
2) change from Two thousand to Twenty?

There, all the optimism I can muster for the end of a fairly crappy year only to see in a fouler one.

I have just watched President Barack Obama address the fiscal cliff negotiations before a friendly and highly partisan crowd. What a small, disrepectful, uninspirational, petty, non-truth telling man he is. I urge you to find a video and watch for yourselves if you did not see it live.
I think this is the transcript:
Remarks by the President on the Fiscal Cliff Negotiations 1:45 P.M> Dec 31, 2012
This part might make news
Sammy Finkelman (0e1021) — 12/31/2012 @ 6:52 pmsome random propaganda slut on cnn talking to a very lifelike blitzersaurus keeps assuring us that obama would never ever ever want to say or do anything to derail this deal
i don’t know what she’s basing that on
happyfeet (ae1213) — 12/31/2012 @ 6:59 pm‘Drinking heavily’ possibly at the Sawyer level,
narciso (3fec35) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:02 pmJust observing from afar, I’d hazard Mr. Palin and Mr. Bachmann seem very happily married with large, handsome, reasonably happy families.
Doubt those ladies give a rip what we think of them.
gary gulrud (dd7d4e) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:05 pmI don’t think Obama’s statement makes the situation much worse. He just announced that stopping the sequester and all other negotiations will be a big problem. It might be he announced it because he thinks announcing it now will make it a littler problem later.
If Senator Mitch McConnell was advising Republicans to just get rid of the tax question – pass a bill to maintain income taxes at their current level for those reporting an annual income below $250,000, no make that $400,000 or even $500,000 – whatever you think the president will sign – and the rest will be easier, he’s telling them no. He intends to take a tough line.
However, this could also be seen as a willingness to compromise. Maybe he’ll sign something leaving the dividing point at $500,000 but he wants to say he wants to go lower. If so, he’s practically made it mandatory that the bill has to leave in reserve some taxes to raise.
Obama sounds like he wants the limits on deductions – which Republicans hope(d) to trade for lower tax rates.
Sammy Finkelman (0e1021) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:09 pmIn Twenty Oh-One. Even I didn’t say “Twenty Hundred”.
Milhouse (15b6fd) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:11 pmSo far nobody’s even talking about cutting spending, by even one lousy dollar. Until they do, they’re not serious and there’s no reason to give them anything.
Milhouse (15b6fd) — 12/31/2012 @ 7:14 pmAll these people in Washington (in Congress anyway) think going over the Fiscal Cliff will cause a recession.
They are all Keynesians now, as Richard Nixon said in 1969 I think. (he said we)
