Yes, it is coming up.  Since our last one though we’ve had 172 people (and counting) that we busted.

Because the cabal of imbeciles is threatening our server people and everyone else involved, I am going to seed the shit myself so none of you have to face idiotic lawsuits and harassment around the country.  A certain drunken skydiving clown in particular is bitching that he wants to be included, but no dice, you already lost once dull-ass.

I think it is safe to say that America’s most beloved attorney cum airplane crash technician will be a one seed.  In fact, I’ll give 2:1 for him versus the field.  But that’s why they play the games.

Should give me about 2 weeks to get everything set.

 

FOXNEWS CALLS IT FOR GWEN GRAHAM.

96 percent in, and GOP Rep Steve Southerland is losing 49-51 percent.

Only GOP race I seriously want to see a loss in.

97 Percent in, still aout 4k votes separate.

GOOD.

 

 

 

 

 

Cross Posted from the paying-home.

I generally try to avoid any topic about the president, because damn near everyone out there either hates the man reflexively, or sort of worships him.  And so the comments turn into a disaster, and I have to keep monitoring, because some people simply cannot confine their comments to the issue at hand.

Today I am breaking that normal tradition because of all the answers to questions I’ve seen over the years, the president’s answer to an Ebola question the other day unquestionably strikes me as his worst.  Some can argue the validity (politically or actually) of the “you didn’t build that” or the “you can keep your doctor” but for just straight up oddity, I give you the quote below.

But before we get to the quote, as a sort of framing of this, the backdrop is twofold.  First, states are trying to quarantine doctors who treated Ebola patients.  Some knucklehead decided that after treating victims in Africa, he’d just lie to the authorities:

The city’s first Ebola patient initially lied to authorities about his travels around the city following his return from treating disease victims in Africa, law-enforcement sources said.

Dr. Craig Spencer at first told officials that he isolated himself in his Harlem apartment — and didn’t admit he rode the subways, dined out and went bowling until cops looked at his MetroCard the sources said.

I literally have no position whatsoever on quarantines.  I don’t know if they are needed, constitutional, fascist or ridiculous.  I’m also not going to research it, because I suspect this topc de jure will be gone by the time I get back from my upcoming vacation.  But, I also think that this guy, and the lady doctor in Maine (my home state) are being pretty selfish.  You want me to be held aside, alone for 21 days?  You’ll bring me food, I’ll have cable TV, and I can sleep as much as I want?  Dude, sign me up.

Second, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has decided to quarantine the troops when they get back from West Africa:

A 21-day quarantine for all military personnel serving in Ebola stricken areas of West Africa was approved by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel Wednesday.

The quarantine was pushed for by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Hagel said.  Initially the measure will apply to all personnel leaving the West Africa area. But Hagel said the policy will be reviewed within 45 days.

The policy creates a separate set of rules for military members than what the White House has pushed for civilian health care workers. President Obama has argued that civilian volunteer health workers returning from aid trips to Africa should not be quarantined and the White House has urged states not to impose their own quarantine policies. Science, Obama has said, does not support the need for a quarantines.

So there’s the meat and potatoes (an extra “e” for Dan Quayle) of it.  Now the quote:

Q    Are you concerned, sir, that there might be some confusion between the quarantine rules used by the military and used by health care workers and by some states?

THE PRESIDENT:  Well, the military is a different situation, obviously, because they are, first of all, not treating patients. Second of all, they are not there voluntarily, it’s part of their mission that’s been assigned to them by their commanders and ultimately by me, the Commander-in-Chief.  So we don’t expect to have similar rules for our military as we do for civilians.  They are already, by definition, if they’re in the military, under more circumscribed conditions.

When we have volunteers who are taking time out from their families, from their loved ones and so forth, to go over there because they have a very particular expertise to tackle a very difficult job, we want to make sure that when they come back that we are prudent, that we are making sure that they are not at risk themselves or at risk of spreading the disease, but we don’t want to do things that aren’t based on science and best practices.  Because if we do, then we’re just putting another barrier on somebody who’s already doing really important work on our behalf. And that’s not something that I think any of us should want to see happen.

There is so much in there it would take me a generation or two to unpack it all.  The first sentence alone makes no sense logically. So the troops will not be treating patients, but they are going to be subject to more rigid restraints?  That’s like saying a motorcycle is more dangerous than a Big Wheel, which is why you should always wear a helmet while riding a Big Wheel.   Huh?

The rest of the paragraph makes more sense I suppose.  When you do join, you understand you have fewer rights.  That much is obvious to anyone that has joined.  But from a public health standpoint, it isn’t even the slightest bit relevant.  If this whole policy deals with the threat of Ebola to every day Americans, how does the circumscribed nature of military service add to the discussion?  Huh?

The first sentence of the second paragraph is so long I get lost reading it.  Presumably it is referring to the health people (nurses and doctors) volunteering overseas.  But again, how is this different than the people in the military?  Military people (believe it or not) ALSO have families, also have loved ones, also have difficult jobs, and we should decide for them based on “science and best practices” as opposed to the random selection by a magic 8-ball or a gorilla who can also pick Super Bowl winners.  Again, it doesn’t really differentiate which is what the question was about.  So again, huh?

The penultimate sentence though is the one that really (judging by my emails) has people angered.  Again the specific question dealt with the differing ways we are dealing with civilians and military.  So this sentence, “somebody who’s already doing really important work on our behalf” directed ONLY at the doctors, to differentiate them from service-members seems at first blush to be a complete insult.  It’s really hard to interpret that sentence differently when given the context of the question.

I don’t know, maybe they were just free-wheeling an answer on the spot, and it was less that articulate.  Lord knows I’ve said some dumb things in responses to questions.  (Just ask my wife.)  But this whole thing just seems insulting to me, and I don’t have a position on quarantines in general.  But to differentiate between doctors who in their benevolence are dealing specifically with Ebola victims, from service-members who put their lives on the line, and then somehow create a policy that weighs safety with the value of the service, and deciding it favors doctors doesn’t make sense to me.

What do you guys think?

{NOTE, Read the first post before this one if you haven’t already.}

You guys are getting almost every damn question wrong, and it is starting to annoy me. Let’s go through the results thus far.

Question 1, your walk on song.
Your answer, at 33.1% is Afternoon Delight.

That is the wrong answer. In fact, that is dead last. The correct answer was Sail, by AWOL Nation.

The others awarded various points, you get 0 for SLVB.

Question 2, Commercial girl you can’t handle.
Your answer, at 49 percent is Kate Upton.

Now, I am chalking that up to her coming with a free sandwich, which was unfair. But any of the answers are acceptable. For me, gotta be the redhead. The blonde got NO love from you guys, and I think she’s sneaky close to being at the top. The Nationwide Ninja chick (country music star Jana Kramer) though I found out is dating a TE for the Redskins who is on IR, who no one has ever heard of. Being an IR Tight End for the Washington Football team though is lower down the ecosystem from unknown military blogger though, so she’s high up for me.

Question 3, best cartoon ever.
Your answer, at 39.8 percent is Tom and Jerry.

Unacceptable. Not however as egregious as you degenerates who answered Captain Planet who should go swirly yourselves.
The answer was Herculoids. In fact, that is almost always the answer. It has a triceratops shooting lasers. Lasers people.

Question 4, worst TV show.
Your answer, at 51 percent is The View.

Largely all of them are terrible. However, in terms of terribleness, the View doesn’t crack the top 2, which are (in order) Teen Mom, and Sex in the City. The first is unwatchable under any circumstance. I’d rather shave with my lawnmower than watch it. And the second stars Seabiscuit and she is a reprehensible equine. Shockingly, Project Runway is the least objectionable. I know this because while courting my wife I had to watch two episodes with my Mother in Law, and I’m still here.

Question 5, worst candy.
Your answer, at 44.9 percent is a rock.

I get that. I myself believe Necco Wafers are the worst. My wife didn’t even know what they were. It was like eating chalk.

Question 6, cereal.
Your answer, at 34.6 percent was Grape Nuts.

That answer is correct. The only possible way to choke that dirt down was to bury it in sugar, and wait for it to sort of mushify, and then eat it. Kaboom I need not mention was the worst. Shredded wheat always seemed like a form of punishment.

Best day ever at my house, when I came home to these:

Question 7, the story of my life.
Your answer keeps flip flopping at 40 percent between John Goodman and Steve Buschemi.

I realized after the fact that I wasn’t clear if the question who should play me (TSO) or yourself, so all of them are right. If it is me though, it would be Brick, from the Middle. (Head down, “The Middle.”)

Question 8, Firefly Hottie.
Your answer, at 32.9 percent was Kaylee.

Two things about this one….First, I got an email from a friend that read, in toto, “Saffron. Anyone not picking her or Inara is gay or a pedophile.”

In one sense, he’s not wrong. But he also picked the two that you placed last and second to last. But honestly, none of the choices is “wrong” per se.

Never the less, 67.1 percent of you are still wrong, and will be barred from my nuptials to Ms. Staite in the case of an untimely demise of the current Mrs TSO.

Question 9, gay genie defense.
Your answer, at 37.1 is Neil Patrick Harris.

Look, he is an attractive man. And a doctor. And in that one episode of HIMYM he had the playbook, so would make a great wingman. But you people don’t understand the hot chick mentality. Hot chicks hang out with effeminate dudes, not manly ones. Which means your only true defense is a bear. A big, gay bear, willing to do what needs to be done.

Question 10, ink blots.
Your answer, at 39.8 percent was Blood Splatter Analysis.

I can accept that. To me, it looks like Pandas. If you see nothing, you really should probably seek help. And if you see me and Tom Brady, you should REALLY seek help, because we would nuzzle face to face so I could stare into his eyes when we talk about Ugg slippers while his Mom made pancakes.

Question 11, most ridiculous.
Your answer, at 51.9 percent was the losing litigant.

Come on man! This was a total gimmee.

So basically the results of my survey are that:
1) You people of my age are savages.
2) Most of you don’t know my references.
3) I should have responded to dude offering to figure out what our readers actually want.

Nationwide Ninja Chick for those asking:

[I think she is a country music star now]

I got an email this morning that if I wanted to increase our traffic here, we needed to do research into our readers. That made sense to me. But the emailer said they would do this for a low low cost, that was way more than I can afford. (The greatest legal mind of our generation owes me $863, and likes to point out I am the lowest paid attorney in America.)

Therefore, I decided to do this shit on my own. I don’t need no fancy company. I’ll just Survey Monkey this thing, and see where we stand. So, please answer these questions honestly and truthfully. Just the first thing that pops into your mind.

Two additional questions that need answering, and utilize pictures. Last question:

When I got out of college I went to work for the NRA. And within a year this dude came to work there who became my best friend. It pretty much started as a dare between us when one said “I will go out drinking every night you do.” About 35 days later we were both on the verge of liver failure and decided to take a night off. From there out we were best friends, and I got adopted by this clique of people he knew in DC. It turned out that basically his entire HS from Cortland, New York had moved to the DC area. It definitely was not a monolithic group. Everyone liked to party, but just all over the place politically.

Anyway, through them I met a bunch of other Cortlanders (and still refer to Cortland as my favorite hometown I never lived in.) One of them was this dude named Boise Thomas. Or maybe Thomas Boise. I don’t know, because dude changed his name every few weeks. At one point he was going by some Indian Guru name. Anyway, the first time I got to meet him was on leave from Afghanistan when the whole group decided we should go to Vegas.

Now, Boise had sent some weird ass emails. I still remember one he sent about Planet X, this undiscovered planet that you couldn’t see that would spell our eventual doom. (Not really clear on how it worked.) He was obviously a very well meaning guy, but about as far from the combat mentality as you could get, and that’s where I was when I met him.

Anyway, I was slightly nervous to meet Tom because he was so different from me. He came in wearing these like bright pink Crocs, and some sort of very bright clothes. But hey, dude was a struggling actor in Hollywood, of course he’s going to be odd. The thing was, he walked up, said hello, shook my hand, and thanked me for my service. It was kind of weird, just totally unexpected. I realized I had totally stereotyped this guy, and it was wrong.

So I’ve followed Tom on Facebook and on TV. For a while he was on some green living show on HGTV, and then he did some crazy thing going cross country with some dudes and a hot chick on a bus. Not in 18 million years would I have watched it, but Tom was awesome if you knew the guy, so I watched every episode. We couldn’t be different in any possible aspect of life, but I’m actually fascinated by his life for that very reason.

Anyway, to the point of this. Tom has a buddy out in LA who is a budding video guy. And this was what Tom sent me to see what this guy was doing:

Now, I’m not usually one for meeting new people, but I totally get where he’s coming from. Hell, I followed the Grateful Dead around in college, so I get the allure of seeing what is behind the other guys curtain. Kind of reminds me of meeting Army Sergeant and finding out that not all the IVAW were crazed lunatics. I still hated what they stood for, what they did etc, but I actually REALLY liked Army Sergeant. She was sweet, she was nice, and she got along great with all of us who had basically been kind of mean to her.

So anyway, I think Joe, the guy in this video may stop by and visit my wife and I. Maybe take him to our church group, or to meet other veterans or something. But he needs other GOP to meet along the way. And if we have a lot of anything around here, it’s probably conservatives.

Anyway, he’s posting daily dispatches, like this one yesterday:

So, if you are at all interested in meeting the other side, trying to convince them we aren’t all unhinged lunatics, send Joe an email: joe@theothersidedocumentary.com

(There’s a certain collector of guns in Kansas that I would LOVE for Joe to stop and visit with. Also, Tim in Maine I think would be an awesome interview.)

TSO’s Notes for those just now tuning in.

Phil was a phony SEAL who owned a big business. TAH exposed Phil as lying crap weasel. Phil asked his employee Palmer Psul Wickre to go after TAH. Psul went completely off the rails and threatened to kill us. Phil fires Psul. Psul continues being insane. Phil goes dark. After Psul is arrested for threats, he files suit against Phil, claiming he was working deep undercover for Phil for 3 months to take out TAH, and is owed $64,000. Phil wins lawsuit. TAH unilaterally declares ceasefire, because Psul is clearly insane. Psul decides to continue assault, then hires a phony chief petty officer as his lawyer, and joins forces with a phony green beret and a phony pilot to declare a fatwa on TAH. TAH responds with direct quotes, Psul responds with increasingly odd emails.

You wont publish it , it is too truthful about your mob. But I wanted you to get it to know that your tricks and bad words are deflected and useless.

I still intend to keep my blood oaths to you oafs. Nice ring there

Here is the truth about your miscreant, mob and essence. Read it and weep or dont. I still plan to pursue diminshiment of what you hold dear, using your own thoughts and words.

Good Luck, dying wart, and you too, mutton chop, in your shack.

 

Um. What?

“Excellent!

I thought all the posts from my friends on your site hit the mark and you are a laughingstock.

Off mission, abandoned Phil, lost your stolen valor credentials. What warms the cockels of my heart is the image of Seavey sitting up night after night pouring through old tax and court records from 7 to 17 years ago, analyzing, sweating, typing, in that little upstairs bedroom on the right.

Dude, I hate to let you know, but I go to bed around 9:30 every night.  I sure as well don’t sit up at night pouring over old documents.  I get them sent to me, usually pre-cut to put into a post.  Pretty creepy you are checking out my house’s floorplan, but just an FYI, that room to the right is the bathroom.  I shower in there.  You trying to watch me in the shower Psul?

“Off mission” cracked up Jonn and I though.  We were so off mission we posted like 10 Stolen Valor guys last week.

Giving up ALL his time, to parse some old Court record about a civil case or a an old Class B misdemeanor from 2001, and trying to embarrass me. Hey Appalachian, half breeds, blue collars, Hayseeds and Hillbillies. I am absorbing ALL of your free time, at night way from your families or some gainful pursuit, while you fire “dud’ shells to some mark only you can understand.

Um.  What?

20 adults, spending 2-4 hours a night on the Internet, reading, typing, researching some old Court records, probing some long forgotten case from the 1961 where my parents were Appellants (they won) and then publiscizing my well known case against Omni, where we were the Plaintiffs, suing for recovery which we got.

I’m flattered you think I spend 2-4 hours a night probing your activities.  I think you have it confused with Big Bang Theory which I spend 2-4 hours a night watching.  Kaley Cuoco’s far more interesting than your manboobs.

Anyway, thanks for all the attention to detail, it makes me out to be the devil incarnate, while you waste your time, about 30-40 hours a week!

Yeah, no.

Like Charlie VC, I am diverting all your volunteer resource into some long past, that no one reads or cares about.

Rather than chase the new fake Colonel, you are mulling over and writing each other in a circle jerk about declarations of a $5 tie.

It was a $1 tie, $5 suit.  That’s some old money erudite behavior right there.  So different than us blue collar losers.  None of us wear $5 suits.

You will never know the truth about the 2008 bank default strategy, that we piled in on.

On that you are right.  I wouldn’t default on $50k to family members.

Your little Tabloid has made us the posterboys, me, my buddies, etc, for the low brow, “wasteland on the Internet”

Keep plowing your research into me, a civilian contractor, while it destroys your credibility chasing rogue vets.

Did not you learn Vietnam? Your being dissipated into hamlets, trails and villages, while you lose focus.

We lost in Vietnam because of tax records?  (please, dude, your, you’re, yore, all different.)

What is really funny, is there are now about 20-30 hard core ex-vets that type away, read old documents and proclaim some “news item”.

It goes without saying, that rather than have a life or spend family time, you are up on your Dell, probing over some scrip or scrap from all the way back to 150 years ago as to some “info as to my predecessors.”

I don’t own a Dell bro.

Do you really think that ANYONE cares or makes a passing moment on some old story on dead people in my blood line in South Dakota? You are making me famous and Jared, too. We are parlaying your threads in the the foolishness of your entire organization.

Yeah, Jared loves the attention.  You know who didn’t like it?  Fox News, I emailed them last week about their expert.  I also have appeared on that channel, so I sent his actual record to some of the producers.

What comes through loud and clear are two points:

1) Your readership is DEEPLY insecure about their social position and standing. They talk about the paint job on their car, or their meager land, or boat or gun or other property, as if to elevate themselves out of the limited choices they made as the lower tier of society, betting on the military as a career.

Out of uniform, broke, big Harley payments, your readership goes on and on about , ” no I am really a winner”.

Every one knows in my circle that we cant really sue you because as my lawyer says, “20 years as a SFC, leaves you without a pot to piss in.”

We cant get monetary recovery because you are all broke.

Well, not all of us can afford $5 suits.

2) The other major point that comes through is the posters and posers write about their life experiences, the only ruler they have. Over and over, ” I was an lineman, I built construction, I farm, I repair cars, I put up those antenna towers, I go to the shooting range, I talk about females as to slang in genitals, I drive a truck.”

It is all their.

They’re, there, their.  All homonyms, but you should learn which is used where.

You as a group are a blue collar group, that sells your labor as working with your hands. The bottom 5th of society, existing on the Government dole, trying to find relevance on the clothes you wore, and the social signals of a tin, cotton 1″ color died scrap of memory.

Nothing has changed– 150 years ago in the Civil War, the rich got out of the draft by paying your types to risk life and limb $200 to avoid the lottery. You idiots, went off to Chambersburg, Little Rouddtop, Gettysburg, Vicksburg and lost life and limb in a futile war that wasted the country, came to no good end, and 500,000 casulaties under the meat saw of battlefield doctors, sawing off your leg as to a musket ball.

You have not changed. False zeal on the battlefield led to death and dismemberment. You lost life and limb under the bravado of 50,000 men dying in a day.

I think this section here is my favorite.  Honor and glory mean nothing to you, and mean everything to us.

Nice life, Caryy on that fine tradition, by wasting your free time, away from any good social pursuit, following I, the master, studying my tax records.

What imbeciles

Mark thanks for all the documentary evidence. Maybe Mason will sell the rights to the Discovery Channel as to 40 louts stayng up at night scrutinizing my traffic stops in 1997!

Brilliant!

Thanks so much, we have figured out how to make hay off your wasted time, broken lives and sheer envy.

Keep it up.

Psul

Ah yes, well, the envy keeps me warm when I can’t pay my heating bill from spending all my hard-earned cash on $4 suits.

 

 

 

OK, I tapped out this morning, I can’t take no more. Wittless, Wickre and Bernath have all joined forces. I’m not supposed to email Bernath because our lawyers are preparing a suit. But I figured I could still email the other two. Turns out that just won’t work, so will have to go radio silent.

Lucky for you I have a weeks worth of conversations to share with you, starting with this awesome one with Dullass:

Another “Stolen Valor Vulture” bites the dust…!

And, I have been invited to go skydiving on the Skydive Chicago drop zone…. Oh… Oh….

Now, you know what “The LRP 41 Cometh!” means…

I need not even mention he was wrong on the facts of a SVV “biting the dust” because he is always wrong. Nonetheless, my response:

‘Now, you know what “The LRP 41 Cometh!” means…’

It must mean you prematurely ejaculated in your chicken consume, because the LRRP41 been com-ething towards Indiana for 3 years now, and all I’ve seen of you was a mug shot with a silly “I just pumped the neighbors chihuahua” smile on your face.

Men want to be Thunder Chicken, women want to be with Thunder Chicken:

Pemature Ejaculation…. Me…?

Stop it man. You know I am the Ladies’ Favorite… That’s for a reason…

But I do have a neighbor with a chihuahua. My male Shar Pei smells her ass everyday… My Chinese dog will “piss on another dog’s head” on my command. How funny is that… ?

Why are you harassing and dishonoring me before breakfast on the weekend..?
I just sent you an important communique on a photo about your stolen valor Reichers…. Now you harass me.. Hmmmmm.
Are you here just trying to intentionally inflict emotional distress on me again..? IIED..?

NOW, I am having to go to the V.A. Chief Medical doctor at the Mental Health Clinic “triage” on Monday morning and squeal like a pig…
You people never know when to shut up. See you all in court. Goobers..
