Trying to spin this stuff is just absurd when anyone with a computer can verify the numbers for themselves.
I would assume the unicorns change color based on the needs of the inhabitants, Badtux, because everything else seems to work like that in their universe.
]]>This is not to defend Carter — I remember the Carter administration well, I was there. Carter was a Southern conservative faced with huge problems that simply overwhelmed him (the vast majority of the U.S. Navy had been built during WW2 and was completely worn out, the U.S. Army had been destroyed in Vietnam and was still in the process of being rebuilt as an all-volunteer force, two different heavy bomber designs to replace the B-52 had been brought to near completion only to be rendered obsolete by advances in Soviet air defenses, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Iranian Revolution, the giant spike in oil prices caused by the Iranian Revolution), and his economic policies were basically traditional conservative ones of balance the budget and deregulate everything, policies completely incapable of dealing with the economic problems caused by the spike in oil prices. So he wasn’t a very good President. But he certainly was not Herbert Hoover II either — he was quite similar to Dwight D. Eisenhower in his economic policies, and got basically the same results. But wait, that’s *this* reality, not the one that Mr. Troll apparently lives in. I wonder what color the unicorns are there? 😈
]]>I avoid seafood because of the water, not what’s managing to live in it.
]]>no need to travel long distances to exotic locales, i learned this one long ago in mexico. got a chance years later to reaffirm it in puerto rico.
Some of the people in the course were having “issues” with forest game. They didn’t like the thought of skinning things or cleaning them.
which is why i prefer seafood for my animal protein source. after years of scuba diving, i came to see fish as my friends and now hate fishing, but in an emergency survival situation it’s something i could do without a qualm — especially if it involves oysters. 😀
]]>Some of the people in the course were having “issues” with forest game. They didn’t like the thought of skinning things or cleaning them. You have to wonder what they would do if they had to depend on farming to stay alive, or if they saw the inside of a commercial food processing plant.
]]>😆 Yeah! It always amuses me when someone says to me something like “How can you eat that?” I either say nothing just smile or say something like “Easy.” Part of our final survival training was being tossed into the Simpson desert with a backpack, a few rations, basic tools & a knife, and a couple canteens of water. We had to walk to a base that would take 20+ days to get there. 🙂 It was fun… Hmmm. Oh! Before we were dropped, we spent a few months increasing our tolerance to arsenic. The desert is full of it. It wouldn’t do to die from arsenic poisoning during the first week. (but they didn’t mind if we had the mother of all stomach aches!)
And yeah, Cornish game rabbits sound pretty good! 😆
]]>you just made my day
]]>It is the curse of the teaching class, you want people to understand what you are saying, but you can’t overcome belief with facts.
No matter how many times supply-side economics fail, the true-believers want to try it again. They refuse to accept the fact that it fails because it is a flawed concept.
]]>I like this one:
Cheese-eating VAT-paying Surrender Monkeys
LOL yeah… American Politicians are a parody of themselves! A—mazing! 😉
