I have a few guilty pleasures.
One is I like Sunday morning country music while I catch up my paperwork.
Cox strikes again.
“Temporarily Off Air”!
Do I get a refund?
Argh!
It’s not worth calling or email.
The TV guide was off for 4 days.
No acknowledgment.
Argh!
No competition; so why should they care.

I know I am a very bad “Grok, the caveman”. But I did totally eliminate this from my diet.
Why did I ever?
What’s worse I didn’t “force” Our Girl to abandon it. (Like she’d listen to me.)
Maybe it might have made a diff?

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR
The Deafness Before the Storm

*** begin quote ***
IT was perhaps the most famous presidential briefing in history.
On Aug. 6, 2001, President George W. Bush received a classified review of the threats posed by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda. That morning’s “presidential daily brief” — the top-secret document prepared by America’s intelligence agencies — featured the now-infamous heading: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” A few weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal.
On April 10, 2004, the Bush White House declassified that daily brief — and only that daily brief — in response to pressure from the 9/11 Commission, which was investigating the events leading to the attack. Administration officials dismissed the document’s significance, saying that, despite the jaw-dropping headline, it was only an assessment of Al Qaeda’s history, not a warning of the impending attack. While some critics considered that claim absurd, a close reading of the brief showed that the argument had some validity.
That is, unless it was read in conjunction with the daily briefs preceding Aug. 6, the ones the Bush administration would not release. While those documents are still not public, I have read excerpts from many of them, along with other recently declassified records, and come to an inescapable conclusion: the administration’s reaction to what Mr. Bush was told in the weeks before that infamous briefing reflected significantly more negligence than has been disclosed. In other words, the Aug. 6 document, for all of the controversy it provoked, is not nearly as shocking as the briefs that came before it.
*** and ***
Could the 9/11 attack have been stopped, had the Bush team reacted with urgency to the warnings contained in all of those daily briefs? We can’t ever know. And that may be the most agonizing reality of all.
*** end quote ***
As usual, “we, the sheeple” never get the full story.
Not that the NYT is source of truth.
Or does one assume, for lack of any other motive, that this moves us further from “liberty” to “tyranny”.
I don’t know what perverse calculus moves politicians, but I do know nothing is impossible!
I hope there is a special place in, a special circle of, Hell for all these.

Who Killed the Constitution?
A transcript of the Lew Rockwell Show episode 003 with Tom Woods.
September 28, 2013

And, by the way, Lew, that’s actually the argument that most turned me away from being a sort of traditional, old-fashioned constitutionalist, a constitutionalist-type conservative and into a more radical Libertarian, were precisely these arguments that governments are not restrained by pieces of paper. They cannot possibly be. And once you realize that, then that just opens up a panorama of alternatives that you never considered before.

As we can see with BHO44 granting “exemptions” that he has no authority to grant. The IRS making Obamacare rules it has no authority to do.
The revolution is coming!

Most Armed; Most Free
By Eric Margolis
September 28, 2013
*** begin quote ***
“Most armed; most free.” So the renowned Italian thinker and strategist Niccolo Machiavelli described the Swiss five centuries ago.
*** and ***
Germany and France wisely decided to leave the Swiss porcupine alone. Some leftist historians claim it was because the Axis needed the Swiss banks. Nonsense. Berlin and Rome had access to banks in neutral Portugal, Sweden and Turkey. The real reason was all those angry Swiss mountaineers, with their rifles zeroed in at 300 meters.
*** end quote ***
I’m a fan of Switzerland, its neutrality, and its “common sense”.
The little L libertarians love the porcupine. All defense; no offense.
The Department of Defense? What a joke.
National Guard? Which nation?
We have so many problems, why are we seeking more?

Reuters Special Report: Pimco shook hands with the Fed – and made a killing
By Editor on September 27, 2013
*** begin quote ***
The giant fund-management firm, led by co-founder Bill Gross, started buying tens of billions of dollars in mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by federally sponsored agencies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In the third quarter of 2011 alone, Pimco’s flagship Total Return Fund, the world’s largest mutual fund, doubled its holdings of these securities to $80 billion, according to a Reuters review of trading and other data.
While Pimco was building its hoard, the Fed, in a surprise move long before any word on quantitative easing, said it would start buying more of the same kind of debt, known in the trade as “agency MBS.” The U.S. central bank would acquire as much as $30 billion of the securities a month by reinvesting proceeds from its earlier purchases. Prices rose.
As 2011 slid into 2012, Pimco started enjoying big gains on its agency holdings. Even better, the Fed in September 2012 finally announced a third round of quantitative easing, nicknamed QE3. To keep supporting the U.S. housing market, it would buy even more agency MBS. Pimco’s Total Return Fund posted billions more dollars in gains.

Argh!
This is legalized theft.

The New Media versus #Oldmedia battle on Obamacare
By Nick Sorrentino on September 28, 2013
*** begin quote ***
An interesting article from the New York Times on how alternative media, which is becoming increasingly less alternative, is changing the game in Washington DC. The narrative, long crafted by an #oldmedia with a generally statist agenda is being outflanked in many ways.
*** end quote ***
Who pays any attention to the #oldmedia?
Sad to say, but only the “low information voters”. Watch Jaywalking, Waters World, or any “man on the street” format. It’s funny, but so pathetic.
Talk to anyone in the Gooferment Skrules and it’s no joke!
Argh!
