Down here, the crocusueseses are sticking their heads up.; 2/11/13, 8:47 PM

Just curious.; 2/11/13, 8:47 PM
rcommal said...: What I love about the steady, persistent and incrementally ramped up Meadhouse Amazon pitch and scorecard is: that which it is acknowledging. I get it. They are embracing the present as a means to the future, and in that way are doing the necessary work.; 2/11/13, 8:53 PM

Do you not get around much in the winter, other than parks?

Looking for a pleasant cafe for my visit on Friday.; 2/11/13, 9:11 PM

I've been watching The Walking Dead and it's pretty good.

It seems to have constantly fight its' desire to go off the tracks though.

Now it's ghost voices!

Cedarford said...: From McClatchy -

A 2009 study by George Borjas of Harvard University, Jeffrey Grogger of the University of Chicago and George Hanson of the University of California, San Diego, looked at 1960-2000 Census data and found that as immigrants disproportionately increased the supply of workers in a particular area, wages of African-American workers in that area fell, the employment rate declined and the incarceration rate rose.
“Our analysis suggests that a 10 percent immigration-induced increase in the supply of a particular skill group reduced the black wage by 2.5 percent, lowered the employment rate of black men by 5.9 percentage points, and increased the incarceration rate of blacks by 1.3 percentage points,” the professors wrote in the study.

In short, the Obama Amnesty is screwing the blacks but good..not just blue collar whites.
But the blacks are by and large too stupid and too loyal to Obama to realize their and fellow non-Elite, non-Ivy blacks economic futures are being sold out.

Once that is set up, the other shoe that will drop on blacks is when a Bankrupt Chicago, California, New York, and Fed Government can no longer hand out all the "free stuff" blacks have been led to believe they are entitled to.

Chaos, then a 2nd Civil War may come, and blacks may well end up on the side of the white Republicans again.
Back in the 1st Civil War, it was well known that Hispanic nations generally sided with the white Democrats of the Confederacy against the Union.
And what Jews there were in America were not keen on the War except as a money-making opportunity...but thought the whole thing was bad for banking and business.
US Grant wrote for permission to hang a large group of Jews following Union Armies to sell them contraband - that he viewed as bad for the war effort.; 2/11/13, 9:30 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Wyo Sis, if you're here, bless your heart. I went back two pages to see if anything came of that earlier post and saw the comments you left there about your card. I'm deeply impressed. I understand you 1) opened a photo-hosting account 2) learned how to grab an address 3) make a link to a photograph you took yourself. 4) Made an AWESOME card. I'm telling you your card will be treasured forever. It will be shown off and bragged about. And those other things will be useful too.

When I saw the origami thing I decided I'd have to try to figure out how to do that card. I love origami and all kinds of paper craft, but I am limited by a lack of engineering skills. I have to rely on what other people have done.
Thanks for the return comment. My husband and mother are going to get cards.
I like the butterfly idea. I have a nephew in Australia and I might even make and send him one if it doesn't cost a fortune. His will be poisonous and venomous animals of Australia.
I love your sites.; 2/12/13, 12:47 AM

"Veterans advocates have worried for years about suicides among those who served in or during the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. "The community is so ravaged by suicides right now," says Paul Rieckhoff, chief executive of the 250,000-member Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, "I mean, I know guys who have had 10 (veterans who served) in their battalion who have committed suicide."

And yet 80 percent of the questions senators asked the future Sec. of Defense concerned ISRAEL!

Well, you are absolutely right. I have often wondered myself--don't members of congress know that ordinary Americans in places like Ohio and Kentucky, who have lost their jobs and can't find another, watch these hearings and go "what???"; 2/12/13, 3:28 AM
Joe Schmoe said...: Obama admin officials talking about the economy remind me of Monty Python's Black Night. A quarterly GDP decline? Had worse. Four-dollar-a-gallon gas? Tis but a scratch. U-6 unemployment of 14.4%? It's just a flesh wound.; 2/12/13, 5:28 AM

I particularly admired him for the sensible way he thought about race. At one time, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra was caught up in race fever, as the country at large has long been. They hired a musician on account of his race. They did this under political pressure. For years, the tradition had been blind auditions: It didn’t matter how you looked, all that mattered was how you played. But the DSO scuttled this, in order to hire by race.

Around this time, they approached DePreist about becoming their music director. It was clear to him that they were especially interested in his race. He would have nothing to do with the orchestra. “It is impossible for me to go to Detroit, because of the atmosphere,” he said. “People mean well, but you fight for years to make race irrelevant, and now they are making race an issue.”; 2/12/13, 7:48 AM

Rick Caird said...: Just because a dog is sleeping does not mean the dog is tired. It may simply mean the dog can find nothing better to do. No one will play with him, there is nothing on TV, and all the good books are checked out.; 2/12/13, 9:06 AM
