The Harvard School of Economic Theory
Fire the Janitor!
This must be where well heeled conmen and thieves go to get their Masters degrees. Paulson, Bernanke, and Cox all carry this stamp on their resumes.
In a year of economic disaster the three most immediately (short term) responsible people all hail from the same ivy league den of thieves. Vox assserted that the executive class consisted of a bunch of pirates out to bilk the stockholders of the companies whose fate they are hired to shepherd, but I tend to look at them as no different from welfare queens who view the world as a system set up specifically to entitle them. The silver spoon Harvard MBA has a sense of entitlement in that he views solid functioning companies (the result of the sweat and risk of the entrepreneur, the innovation of the engineer, the effort of the laborer) as a construct set up solely for his economic benefit whether it be through the dissolution of a company or the burdening of one with crushing amounts of debt to service.
This reminds me of an instance where the founder of a medium sized manufacturing business, who was still active in its operations, called a meeting with his staff and some representatives of the largely cooperative union there (from whom this story comes). On the table were some day to day product flow and sales issues which were reported on and quickly dispatched. The Boss opened the floor for discussion of any cost cutting ideas those present could bring to the table in response to overseas competition and a shrinking market.
What idiot would hire someone with a "Harvard MBA" now? In a sane world the buildings of Harvard Business School would be razed to the ground while it's spawn burn in effigy on the lawns.

The new ivy league Finance Manager's hand shot up, "Sir, I have looked at ways for us to tighten our belts and from my time out on the production floor the one thing that stands out as not contributing to productivity is the Janitor. I know it's a lot to ask of our hourly workers, but in the interest of preserving their jobs I think they can clean up after themselves in the restrooms. Perhaps we can ask for volunteers to do housekeeping off the clock? Or organize a rotating committee?"
The union man relating this tale told me he was aghast at this, suspecting the whole tableau of being some bizarre rehearsed scenario designed start a process to encourage general wage concessions. "I just sat there with my mouth hanging open." A pregnant silence persisted. Finally...
The Boss, "I just asked for suggestions on how we can cut a a half million dollars in cost and your idea is to fire somebody making $25,000 a year?! That's a helluva place to start. Maybe you don't understand; when the day comes we can't even afford to keep the restrooms clean I'll close the damned doors and we can all go home."
The new Finance Manager didn't stick around much longer.

"These guys are dangerous"
Louisiana still hasn't repented from it's gun confiscating ways.
There are risks to exercising one's rights, especially in this society where those educated in modern and particularly leftist leaning schools have become public officials and law enforcement officers. Folks who have the authority to arrest you (no sense in using the word "illegitimately" here as it has been proven time and again damned near any bullshit excuse will do), incarcerate you, prosecute you, and imprison you have been taught the leftist "way things should be" as the way they are.
The linked example is an isolated incident where right won out - in the end, but don't be fooled. The fifteen or twenty grand the city dished out is regarded as just a cost of doing business which they will no doubt pass along to mall management (if the management didn't actually write the check in the first place) and the amount is undisclosed so local taxpayers can't get pissed off enough to raise hell.
So, the lesson folks take from this story is, "Carry your gun - get arrested" which will have the effect the cops, mall management, and city officials (elected and otherwise) desired of prohibiting the casual implementation of open carry. No one with someplace to be is going to opt for strapping their pistol on for a quick stop by the mall. Then again, if you are looking to buy a new motorcycle and have a day and a half to kill.....

Why FoxNews Beats CNN
Everytime
Folks, this lady has the democratic socialist party scared shitless. I haven't heard them this shrill since I listened to the lamenting of NPR during the 2000 election recounts. The female columnists are the best with "loaded" words and outright bitchiness. I read one yesterday (by a black woman) that used the words "smell" and "fishy" in the same paragraph! Clever girl probably thought it was subtle.
Karl Rove and Dick Morris (badass consultant and nearly always right) certainly are tickled shitless with the pick, in part probably for the same reasons I am; we get to watch the democratic socialists try to tear down a woman. A smart, successful, pretty woman. It kills them that she is not one of their hideous harpies being forced upon people.
Call me entertained for the next couple months!

Waterboy has gotten out the cattleprod
These are part of a set from WB including some motorsports items, but these shots put me in mind of Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon. Death can be picked up at any library's surplus sale for a whopping 25 cents and is well worth the time.
Death in the Afternoon is an extended investigation of Spanish bullfighting as it existed in Hemingway's time and fascinating in it's detail and also in the choices of the aspects of this ferocious activity that Enrie chose to illuminate. This is not a stay-up-all-night read, but a casual pickup and put down book. Don't let that fool you, though. There are things in Death that will never leave you.
So, sit out on the porch in the evening with a good cigar and this book and travel to a time when men were unashamedly men and the bulls were demons in bovine clothing.

Black Folks in Charge
To a conservative individual the fact that something doesn't work on a small scale is an obvious indicator it won't work on a large scale. A liberal, on the other hand, upon seeing an implemented idea fail locally will always espouse the idea that it will still work but only if universally applied.
I give you the microcosm:
Helena Arkansas is under a 24hr per day curfew; Mayor James Valley has effectively declared martial law:
The Macrocosm:
Remember the old jokes about "Stupid signs"? A fella is said to have done something stupid and the comedian hams the line, "Here's your sign!" somewhat akin to the running "You might be a redneck..." gags.

Harley Riders Caught in a Time Trap
Somewhere about 1976 a whole boatload of american otherwise males stepped out of the flow of time and into the Twilight Zone of a time trap. Ya' every been sittong around a campfire with a bunch of fellas and some asshat pipes up with the old chestnut, "Guys, it just doesn't get any better than this." Now this is, at any given time, a demonstably untrue statement but some folks looked around in 1976 and thought that very thing.
In fact, they thought it so hard they managed to step outside the steady flow of time by which the rest of us gauge past events. An example of this is the fellow below:
I lifted this from a thread over on ADVrider.com wherein a fella was lookin' to slow down a bit and asked folks to chime in on which Harley's were preferred among the herd. The thing to note is the horsepower number being touted. Keeping in mind this is a 2008 thread, I will point out to the uninformed that a modern 600cc bike carries better numbers from the factory for a less princely sum. Add up all the time wasted and money burned (thousands) to bump the old wheezer up to less that respectable numbers and you have found yourself an idiot or a timewarp victim. You pick.
In fact, they thought it so hard they managed to step outside the steady flow of time by which the rest of us gauge past events. An example of this is the fellow below:
Don't think Screamin' Eagle, think NRHS or Zippers.
An 883 can be taken out to 1250cc with just bolt-on parts. 90rwhp, 75lbft/tq at the rear wheel is attainable on pump gas.
If you REALLY wanna get your hands dirty, an 88" kit is available that should yield 110+rwhp, 100+ lbft tq, again on pump gas.
Or you could just leave it as an 883.

Why does anybody do business in california?
The Nestle company wants to build a water bottling plant in california and the attorney general of california has threatened to sue if they build w/o some bullshit study about the plant's impact on "global warming". Nestle is planning on doing the "study" over the next few years. Why?
Why the hell would you not just pack your shit and leave? No tellin' what this "study" will cost! Screw 'em! It would be entertaining to hear about california's employment problems. I would advise anyone with stock in Nestle to sell as the management has lost its collective mind.
Hey, morons: jobs come from factories. Sorta like electricity comes from power plants. Remember that one?

Dragon Tale
The GS made it's maiden voyage to The Dragon this past Tuesday on a daytrip with some friends and riding buddies including a fella on a Big Dog "Mastif", a Wing, an FJR and other less notable bikes. Been there done that (hung parts on the tree), but it's always nice to have the memory refreshed that it really IS that tightly curved and there really ARE 318 curves in that little 11 mile stretch. Riding heaven y'all.
The GS did great, of course, though it took a bit to get into the groove with it. It really does handle like a dirtbike and I was able to go as deep into the corners before initiating lean as on the KLR and the great ready gobs of low RPM torque saved me from worrying over gear selection in the Gravity Cavity. I did, however, fail to drag a valve cover. Maybe next time.....
The Dragon is not for everyone and I really don't see the allure of it for the cruiser "riders" (herders?) among us. Whilst sitting shaded on a bench, cigar in hand at The Crossroads of Time (this refers to the propensity of locals to engage in quantifying the units of time required to personally traverse the dragon and back for comparison to other riders and has nothing whatsoever to do with relativistic physics or The Twilight Zone) motorcycle resort with a good view of the incoming porcine aficionados I was drawn to make a few observations about the poor sisters of the motorcycle world. Near as I can tell there is a "rite of passage" or "initiation" element to it for them. They don't enjoy it; this is obvious from the shaking and obvious relief upon dismounting. Many a sweaty brow is self-consciously wiped at the Crossroads of Time and often it takes two or three tries to get the kickstand down in a rush to plant feet to terra firma.
Another interesting phenomenon exhibited by the porcine herdsman is his/her perplexing tendency to critique much faster riders. I first observed this at The Overlook which occurs after about 30 turns into The Dragon; as riders of the smooth, fast, and often unicycular variety zip by the wide eyed herder he can be seen to shake his jowly head and prognosticate the eminent demise of riders of "them crotchrockets" just around the next bend. I will optimistically attribute this not to a wish for the death of a faster rider on better equipment, but to a complete and total lack of comprehension of the gap in technology, refinement, design, and power that can only be expressed in orders of magnitude. Effectively a War of the Worlds level of technology deficit. There is also the juxtaposition of those out playing "dress up" to those out pushing their personal performance envelope which comes into play. Perhaps the pig herder thinks "them crotchrocket" riders are just playing "dress up" too, and sees no sense in them riding faster since the perception is everyone is out playing "dress up" and all should ride slowly so as to display his costume better. Beats me.
Presumably to compensate for their inability to wisely choose a two wheeled conveyance or perhaps from frustration at having folk on sportbikes, hell - even dirtbikes and scooters!, pass them as water passes 'round rock in a stream whilst they struggle to even continue without leaving the road surface many will gamely twist the ear of their porcine mount causing it to emit a cacophony all out of proportion to the motive force being applied to pavement. Perhaps they seek to make up in annoyance what they lack in prowess. Whatever the intention, the result is comical; akin to a septuagenarian trying to pick up chicks by "tempting" them with his new Viagra prescription.
Words of wisdom:

Congrats to Bill on His New Bike!
Some very creative refurbishing there, Bill.
Sorry Nate. KZ650. Doesn't appear to be a perfect match as the tank looks more like from a KZ1000 and the seat from an LTD, but the tail is the clincher for me.
Tank is right, seat is right, tail is wrong:

The Ozarks and Beyond
Of course, you have to get there first.
I headed out for Nate's on Friday night so we could make an early start of it Saturday morning. We headed out Saturday morning, but not quite early. See, not knowing what my little brother had planned to bring, I loaded up everything but the kitchen sink, so before we headed out I had to pare down my load and distribute the bikes' sherpa duties. We had determined we would bring camping equipment for the convenience of it should we find ourselves on the trail late and too tired and ornery to ride the slab to a motel.

Section of the Trans Am Trail. Third times the charm I reckon.
I met Nathan in Tennessee friday night whence cigars, BBQ, and bourbon were enjoyed to mark the occasion.
Up early, we refined our packing and stowing somewhat. Pared down unessentials to facilitate handling and seat room (240 road miles to Nates, then 380 road miles to the trailhead.) We did a little work to get comms running, hit Walmart for ramen noodles, and headed out.

Chicken Little was Bullshitting
Again.
Headline from The Independent
The article goes on to state that the risk is primarily to those engaging in buttsex and IV drug users. Surprise, surprise, surprise! I could have asked any whore mongering redneck 15 years ago if he was worried about getting aids and, without the benefit of a degree in biology or an MD he would have responded correctly, "Watch your mouth. I ain't a damned fag."
You never see correction by big news organizations, so don't expect to hear anyhting from the pundentry.
Here is the apology owed:
"You rednecks were right all along about this. We were really just trying to cooperate in the theft of american tax money and use the imaginary issue of heteroaids as a bludgeon to promote saturation of the airwaves with sympathetic coverage for our pet perverts and so our friends would think we were smart, empathetic, and "cutting edge".

More than I Bargained for but
No sense in complaining.
I was actually trying to get some secularist sucker to attempt to enlighten me and then aid him/her in tieing his/herself into knots, but Kyrie had a little something bright to say. Thought I'd share.
JACIII: 06.07.08 - 12:18 PM
I would like to see someone try to give a plain english definition of "Spiritually attuned" and "Spiritually advanced" that didn't require the reader to swallow wheel barrow loads of bullshit to even pretend to buy into.
KyrieEleison 06.07.08 - 01:14 PM
I will give it a shot.
When a secular or naturalist application of "spiritually attuned" is used, the writer is only recognizing "spooky insite" that something "unseen" is having an affect on the physical world and, because of Biblical illiteracy, does not recognize it is a full on, brutal, war between dark and light.
"Spritually attuned" Biblically means to have discernment; to discriminate between what is true (light) and what is false (darkness), between what is from God and what is from Satan.
"Spiritual discernment" is actually one of the spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12. This power is increased tremendously when one studies scripture. The FDLS case where the lack of discernment of secular society was brought to light is a very good example of the consequences of the blatant disobedience of God's commandment concerning our Biblical illiteracy... ie: no one should think they won't be next.
Biblically, "Spiritually advanced" would pertain to being Biblically literate with spiritual eyesight that only beleivers have. Secularist have no idea their disbelief causes spiritual blindness. A secularist would only attribute one who was spiritually attuned as merely a form of "quazi-poetic insite"; kind of like a blind person using reason to demand that everyone join him in believing color does not exist.

Texas Judgette Walther Throws a Bitch Fit After Texas Supreme Court Smackdown
Typical for what womyn use for brains:
She was wrong, but not really
I hope the FLDS lawyers simply back up and file suit. Again. All she's doing is trying to keep her clutches and those of the lying, child abducting, good for nothing, CPS in the business of the FLDS folk to cook up some more whole cloth bullshit to phuck with them for daring to show the world the bunch of power drunk bureaucrat scum they are.
This is one of those things womyn can't forget or forgive regardless of the circumstances and she won't be able to restrain herself from using her position to persecute the FLDS folk. The Texas Supreme Court should have removed the case from her jurisdiction.
Somebody disbar her. For the children.
Update: A friend of Walther posts in her defense. While slandering the FLDS, who are the victors in this particular legal battle, in the same fashion as her friend. Any guesses as to whether they have cats?
Whoa! Somebody took that post down right quick! I only made the one nasty comment....
She was wrong, but not really
"The court does not have the power, with all due respect, to enter any other order (other than vacating)," said Julie Balovich of the Texas RioGrande Legal Aid over the telephone. She argued that no evidence justifying the additional restrictions had been entered as evidence before the judge.

Nike Signs Big Brown To $90 Million Horseshoe Contract

PORTLAND, OR—In a move that added the world's pre-eminent equine athlete to its stable of endorsers Tuesday, Nike signed Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Big Brown to a seven-year, $80 million endorsement contract that included a $10 million signing bonus as well as the creation of a signature horseshoe, the Air Brown.
"Nike is ecstatic to sign the top star in horseracing," CEO and Nike president Mike Parker said, unveiling the "jumphorse" logo as the Kentucky-bred colt trotted onstage. "From Michael Jordan to Tiger Woods, Nike has created formidable partnerships with the very best in sports. I can't say how proud we are to work with B.B., who is an extraordinary individual both on and off the track."
"Big B doesn't complain when he gets the far outside starting gate position," Parker added. "He just gallops. And he gives hope to everyone out there that if they train hard, push themselves, and keep their snout clean, they can accomplish anything."
Big Brown, whose Nike endorsement deal is the largest ever for a thoroughbred, was flown from New York to Portland in a private Nike jet stocked with the world's finest bourbon, caviar, sugar cubes, cigars, carrots, and hay. Upon arriving on the west coast, the equine superstar's handlers whisked him past a throng of cheering fans into a stretch limousine bound for Nike headquarters, where Brown, his 11-horse entourage, and his team of lawyers reviewed the contract one last time before signing.
Slated for release on June 1, the lightweight, U-shaped Air Brown horseshoe features Nike's patented air-cushioning system, consisting of a pressurized gas encapsulated in polyurethane and aluminum. According to Nike engineers, the innovative technology was created to provide equal measures of comfort, support, and performance on both dirt and grass tracks by reducing shock, distributing pressure, and protecting the hooves from overpronation. Big Brown intends to debut the Air Brown horseshoes on June 7 at the Belmont Stakes, when he attempts to become the first horse to win the elusive Triple Crown in 30 years.
Although Big Brown was approached by a number of suitors from sportswear manufacturers including Adidas, Reebok, and Pony, the undefeated 3-year-old was ultimately won over by Nike's willingness to work closely with him to create a horseshoe conforming to his strong sense of personal style as well as his physical needs. Big Brown was reportedly impressed by Nike's efforts when technicians used cameras to record his gait from multiple angles while he ran on a treadmill.
"Because Big Brown's hooves have been prone to injuries, we created 3D computer models to map out their exact size and shape in order to design a customized horseshoe that fits perfectly," Nike technician Kenneth Phillips said. "We've also determined he can reduce the risk of impact injuries during his workouts by exercising on a quartet of stationary elliptical machines."
