Scott said...: Bretton Woods?

There's a subdivision near Maple Grove, MN called Rosemary Woods. Minneapolis is just 18 minutes away.; 7/5/13, 10:10 PM

It becomes Hillarycare.

No, by then the Democrats will have killed it themselves.; 7/5/13, 10:18 PM

huh..Obama will not like that.; 7/5/13, 10:19 PM
Peter Hoh said...: That link should come with a "Jimmy Saville" warning.; 7/5/13, 10:29 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Oh, that's who that is.

I was interested in knowing who that weird guy is.; 7/5/13, 10:36 PM

chickelit said...: Signs are everywhere, especially that little stretch of the 101 going through L.A. where billboards are allowed. One minute you're driving along with only freeway directional signs, the next minute you've got divorce lawyers and Vegas circus acts coaxing you into making contact.; 7/5/13, 10:37 PM
Peter Hoh said...: FWIW, I misspelled his last name: it's Savile. But yes, he gives off a very creepy vibe.; 7/5/13, 10:39 PM
traditionalguy said...: Happy 4th to all. We discovered a unique Italian restaurant in Highlands, NC called Rustico at the Log Cabin. It is real Italian run and had the best Chianti ever tasted. ( credit the Italian Church culture.)

But it is cold up here and the rivers are at flood stage. If we die rafting, it's been fun.; 7/5/13, 11:08 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Speaking of flour, if you get yourself a sack of that masa harina corn flour you will be well on your way to a breathtaking culinary journey, and it only cost, like what?, $1.50 summat, so even if you go "huck-ptewey! I hate this poop" it's hardly any loss at all because then you'll know.

But that won't happen.

Because you'll love it. I invented this Mexican omelet tonight in an attempt to create a chile relleno in omelet form using masa harina, and it totally works too. But I do not presume to take all the credit for this is a shared achievement as I stand on the shoulders of giants.; 7/5/13, 11:25 PM
Big Mike said...: @tradguy, please be careful. High water is when our local river -- the Potomac -- is at its most dangerous. I imagine that it's true for other rivers.; 7/5/13, 11:28 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I was jut going to call Chip in here.

Its a good thing he came on his own, because as the Prince of comments... Chip doesn't have a cell phone... and he doesn't take American express.; 7/5/13, 11:28 PM

Is it a legal or illegal omelet?; 7/5/13, 11:36 PM

Dante said...: Where is your aspiration? Where is your altruism?

Sorry, but this is the Beta male. The altruistic guy.

The alpha dude is out there spreading his sperm as much as he can.

Your disdain for "beta" males, responsible males, is backwards, Ann.; 7/5/13, 11:46 PM
Mark said...: Chip you are a genius.; 7/5/13, 11:47 PM
rcommal said...: Here's the sign:; 7/5/13, 11:58 PM

Sorun said...: Look at John Kerry's haircut. It's so stylish. IF IT WAS 1979!; 7/6/13, 12:17 AM
AlanKH said...: We need a video to blame the Egyptian unrest on. Any ideas?; 7/6/13, 12:19 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The night calls for a "Call" Music theme.

A call to the bullpen... a call to the YouTube mine.

Starts us with Let's Call the Whole Thing Off; 7/6/13, 12:26 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: That's kind of like what Snowden and the Egyptians have in common there.; 7/6/13, 12:28 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I call your Name

TM's mother answered the call to testify.; 7/6/13, 12:35 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Crazy He Calls Me

"There wasn't a thought of 'I'm gonna get in trouble' or 'Should I say something?' It was more 'Holy cow this hot teacher is into me!'"; 7/6/13, 12:40 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Call Me Irresponsible

'This Town' contains no index; bold-face Washingtonians can’t just find their pages, see how they’re depicted, and read no more."; 7/6/13, 12:49 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: London Calling

"Shining blue and bright above a subterranean labyrinth of hollow shafts, a warehouse sits upon the abandoned remains of a coal mine that once defined this working-class English town... It is as bright as the mines are dark, as vast as the shafts are claustrophobic, as clean as they are filthy."; 7/6/13, 12:59 AM
mccullough said...: Dwight Howard is going to the Rockets. Kobe should probably retire now.; 7/6/13, 1:06 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: You Called Me And Told Me

"Ghosting — aka the Irish goodbye, the French exit, and any number of other vaguely ethnophobic terms... refers to leaving a social gathering without saying your farewells.; 7/6/13, 1:13 AM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Calling All The People

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."; 7/6/13, 1:34 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Tears of Love Recall

"If you’re viewing this item, you’ve nearly completed the celebration of the birth of Franz Kafka. Please bring your authorized certificate and completed form #1EZ to item #1 for final processing."; 7/6/13, 1:43 AM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: So Called-Chaos

Dr. Bao... wow.
At the George Zimmerman trial: this Friday afternoon, and now things seem quite chaotic.; 7/6/13, 1:55 AM
rcommal said...: I am so entertained by the availability of that pdf, for many reasons, but not least on account of the fact that one of a number of jobs I worked, in order to support myself day to day and to get myself through school, was to type up all of the classified ads submitted to appear in The Review. Remember, this was both before word-processing & etc. Fast, precise, accurate touch-typing was a skill, then. For example.; 7/6/13, 1:58 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Calling It Quits*

"Surrogate mom offered $10K to abort baby after parents discover she would be born with disabilities. Crystal Kelley, 29, ultimately refused the Connecticut couple’s demand that she terminate the pregnancy."

* I know this songs was written with something unique in mind... I'm calling it something else for the purposes of the theme... if that makes any sense... It's the point of theme I think... beg borrw and steal the calls... call it. call. the card game. i'm in.; 7/6/13, 2:08 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Long Distance Call

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Call To Arms

The Scream.
Did everyone hear what he/she wanted to hear?
Arguably, no one lied.; 7/6/13, 2:36 AM
rcommal said...: Hey, Lem, and also for anyone else who gets this sort of thing and who likes this kind of music:

Yo-Yo Ma + Diana Krall; 7/6/13, 2:42 AM
edutcher said...: For those who want us to believe the economy is improving:

Only 47% of adults have a full time job.

It gets better:

Across the board, all the big Democrat constituencies are doing worse than the national averages.; 7/6/13, 5:22 AM
Saint Croix said...: This is pretty awesome.

Man Hogties Burglar and Leaves Him In Yard For Police, Goes To Work.

My favorite part is the adoring wife. "He's like a super-hero."

And before Althouse asks me, no, I have not hog-tied any burglars in my own life. Working on it!

I also love his willingness to leave his wife alone with the hog-tied burglar ("I trust my knots"), his instruction to his wife ("keep an eye on him"), his confidence in both his wife and his knots, and his determination to be at work on time.; 7/6/13, 7:32 AM

It crashes and burns under a Republican President, so that it can - like the bord Phoenix - rise gain in a purer form in the next Democrat administration.; 7/6/13, 8:55 AM

If that ain't a depression I can see it from the end of my block.; 7/6/13, 9:27 AM
