No need to rush out to look for the eclipse of the Sun today by an overlapping Moon. It won’t be visible here in Wichita. Eclipse’s of the Sun only occur when we have a “new moon” or better “no” moon which is the case today. Eclipse’s of the Moon, that is when the Earth’s shadow falls on the face of the Moon only occur when the Moon is full.
The reason eclipses don’t occur every time we have a full moon or new (no) moon is the Moon, Sun and Earth are generally not perfectly aligned. And the alignment doesn’t last long as is the case today when the eclipse of the Sun was only visible during the last few hours on the Asian side of the earth.
But there will be others.
When I worked in shops where there’s welding I always grabbed a welding hood, or even just the dark shield glass and watched it.
I remember being worried about the boss catching me, however when I went to watch, the boss was already there. He handed me his welding hood and said don’t be too long!

soldevvb,
It’s not my fault that you didn’t even read your own source.
________________________________________________________
So then yes, cosmo got her panties in a wad because I didn’t attribute that a phrase (yes you read that right, a phrase) might have been borrowed from a review from another author’s book.
She then follows her straw man down her rabbit hole all fixated on the author of the book and refused to acknowledge the content or author of the post.
As junior loves to proclaim, there is no better support of AGW being a complete and total farce than the desperate reaching cosmo has shown above.
Something a blogger said on another blog this morning ‘It took 2 months for the prez to decide what kind of dog to get and he want something as big as his healthcare plan to go through in 10 days.
Not sure if this is something people should be on the lookout for or not but for what its worth;
We received a letter from a company called Unifund. It said we had an unpaid tax bill with the state of Kansas and it had been turned over to collection. I knew we didn’t owe any back taxes so instead of calling them as they said to do I called the Dept. of Rev with the state. After 45 minutes on the phone they couldn’t find any record of taxes due and no record that our account had been turned over to this company. It wasn’t a large amount. Just under $200 but many people probably just mail a check without checking.
Just an FYI.
It took 2 months for the prez to decide what kind of dog to get
I be stealin that one.
Minimum wage increases to $7.25 this month. What will that do to the unemployment numbers?
“It took 2 months for the prez to decide what kind of dog to get”
More than 2 months, it was a campaign promise to his kids…he musta missed the memo that the election results were final in early Nov…the press spent more than 2 months getting mileage out of the stupid story!

soldevvb,
Really? Wasn’t Thomas Fuller the author of your copy/paste?
Reposting,

soldevvb ended his long-winded copy/paste at a very “convenient” point.
. . .
And Thomas Fuller’s newspaper column isn’t worth wasting time to debunk.
. . .
Actually, I was pointing out that soldevvb did not know (twice) what his own source wrote.
. . .
soldevvb also seems to incorrectly believe that Thomas Fuller’s newspaper column is more credible than scientific research.
. . .
Thomas Fuller’s newspaper columns are already very well refuted by science. Again, his column isn’t worth wasting my time to debunk.
Does Obama still have the dog? Ever seen the girls with it?
Was it a ’shelter’ dog like promised?
If he lies about a dog for his girls how can we trust him with anything else?

Here is what has cosmo’s panties in a wad (note, it has absolutely no relevance to the article):
They are accused of ‘torturing the data until it confesses,’ to borrow a phrase that has suddenly become popular (I think I read it first in a review of Ian Plimer’s new book Heaven and Earth, but it may have been elsewhere).
Wow cosmo, seek help. This is what you latch on to from an artlicle that debunks realclimate’s contributors?
I can see why you are loath to discuss the article’s content. Your heros are liars. There is no “science” but only politics and fudging numbers.
Is the temperature increasing at or above estimates in the Antarctic cosmo?
Are you, too, a Medieval warming denier cosmo?
Do you believe Mann’s hockey stick graph is accurate?
Do you agree that Steig’s sampling of 5% of Antarctica and “spreading the results” across the other 95% is “good scientific practice?”

soldevvb,
Do you actually believe that a San Francisco newspaper column “debunks” the scientific research done by many scientists worldwide?
And you do seem to have a reading comprehension problem, like not noticing that a phrase might have been used in a review of a book, not the book itself.
This, versus a San Francisco newspaper column?

What? No posts from the desmogblog or realclimate to bluster up the cosmos factor?
Sol, Did you notice that cosMo’s links keep getting older and older. Before you know he’ll be using data from the end of the last ice age.
The AGW alarmists are scared to death of the data from the last two years and recycle the old cherry picked data to promote their social agenda.
Sol, By cosMo’s own reasoning, since they’re still not defending the opinion, they must not beleive in it anymore.
Ask him if he can find a link that show’s they are still defending the article.
And you do seem to have a reading comprehension problem,
Such as not being able to answer questions from the content of the article cosmo? Like the below?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Cool weather has broken a previous low temperature for July 21 in Nashville that was set when Rutherford B. Hayes was president.
When the temperature at the National Weather Service station dipped to 58 degrees at 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, it wiped out the previous record low for the date of 60 degrees, which was set in 1877.
NWS forecaster Bobby Boyd noted it was the third consecutive morning when Nashville either tied or broke a daily low temperature record.
Temperatures were cool, but did not break records at several Tennessee cities.
Knoxville dropped to 59 degrees Tuesday morning, Chattanooga had 60 degrees, Tri-Cities recorded 58 degrees and Memphis was 69 degrees.

Got any recent pictures of Bo? That one looks like it was taken in April.
One of Jerry Moran’s kid’s called me “to chat.”
Translation. To chat = Why haven’t you’ve given Jerry money yet?
After I explained I haven’t given anything to anyone since last November I got a few trial balloon’s floated past me.
The most troubling is that the IRS is probing the C-Street House and it’s 501-c-3 status. It’s officially a tax-exempt religious organization but someone has challenged the political activities of C-Street Member’s like Senator Brownback and Congressman Tihart.
I can’t be sure but it sound’s like Jerry Moran may have prompted the IRS witch hunt. At least this kid think’s it’s an opportunity to taint Tihart. Of course it would taint Brownback to. But the kid’s argument is Sam is a lock for governor and Jerry can pick up eastern Kansas votes by being free of the C-Street taint.
“Jerry never drives down C-Street. If there’s a red light when he crosses it he runs it!” the kid said.
On the one hand I kind of admire Moran’s spunk. On the other hand I don’t like how this inter-party fight might play out.
I don’t think east coast media effects Kansas Republican’s all that much. But I afraid that this could result in a disasterous “I was downstairs playing the piano” moment for Brownback.
soldevvb,
The MWP and LIA were regional, not global.
The MBH98 “hockey stick” has been supported by multiple later reconstructions. Do you have any science to refute all of those reconstructions?

ANTI,

=================================
Algore is not from Texas.
Global climate and temperature cycles are the result of a complex interplay between a variety of causes. Because these cycles and events overlap, sometimes compounding one another, sometimes canceling one another out, it is inaccurate to imply a statistically significant trend in climate or temperature patterns from just a few years or a few decades of data.
Unfortunately, a lot of disinformation about where Earth’s climate is heading is being propagated by “scientists” who use improper statistical methods, short-term temperature trends, or faulty computer models to make analytical and anecdotal projections about the significance of man-made influences to Earth’s climate.
During the last 100 years there have been two general cycles of warming and cooling recorded in the U.S. We are currently in the second warming cycle. Overall, U.S. temperatures show no significant warming trend over the last 100 years (1). This has been well – established but not well – publicized.

Good Lord your desperation is sickening.
And that good old hockey stick. Sorry about the facts cosmo, the hockey stick shows ever increasing temperatures.
Though you are so loath to admit it, temperatures have fallen over the last 8 years.
The model has been debunked. Even the IPCC has distanced itself from it.
Damn you’re dumb.
But now a shock: Canadian scientists Stephen McIntyre and Ross McKitrick have uncovered a fundamental mathematical flaw in the computer program that was used to produce the hockey stick. In his original publications of the stick, Mann purported to use a standard method known as principal component analysis, or PCA, to find the dominant features in a set of more than 70 different climate records.
But it wasnt so. McIntyre and McKitrick obtained part of the program that Mann used, and they found serious problems. Not only does the program not do conventional PCA, but it handles data normalization in a way that can only be described as mistaken.
Now comes the real shocker. This improper normalization procedure tends to emphasize any data that do have the hockey stick shape, and to suppress all data that do not. To demonstrate this effect, McIntyre and McKitrick created some meaningless test data that had, on average, no trends. This method of generating random data is called Monte Carlo analysis, after the famous casino, and it is widely used in statistical analysis to test procedures. When McIntyre and McKitrick fed these random data into the Mann procedure, out popped a hockey stick shape!

Total human contributions to greenhouse gases account for only about 0.28% of the “greenhouse effect”. Anthropogenic (man-made) carbon dioxide (CO2) comprises about 0.117% of this total, and man-made sources of other gases ( methane, nitrous oxide (NOX), other misc. gases) contributes another 0.163% .
Approximately 99.72% of the “greenhouse effect” is due to natural causes — mostly water vapor and traces of other gases, which we can do nothing at all about. Eliminating human activity altogether would have little impact on climate change.

Democrat Senate Votes Against Concealed Carry
But who is surprised that DemoRats don’t support gun rights and your right to defend yourself?
Senate rejects pro-gun measure on concealed weapon
By JIM ABRAMS (AP) – 18 minutes ago
WASHINGTON — Gun control proponents scored a rare victory as the Senate rejected the carrying of concealed weapons across state lines.
The 58-39 vote Wednesday defeated a measure giving people with concealed weapons permits the right to carry their firearms into other states that have similar gun laws. Sixty votes were needed to approve the provision, an amendment to a defense spending bill.
“White House declines to disclose visits by health industry executives
Citing an argument used by the Bush administration, the Secret Service rejects a request from a watchdog group to list those who have visited the White House to discuss the healthcare overhaul.”
I love this part of the article:
“At its meetings with the White House, the drug industry reported on progress made with the Senate…”
I guess Obama was just checking up on the Senate.
Oops, forgot the link.

First, I would highly suspect that the gun people will challenge this in Court…
Second, given the SCOTUS’ position on gun rights, I highly suspect the Senate will be over-ruled.
The bill would mean stricter laws would be overruled by liberal carry laws.
“For Alaska to permit residents who have committed repeated violent misdemeanors or who have committed misdemeanor sex offenses against minors to carry a concealed weapon is terrible public policy. For the Senate to extend that permit to 47 other states would be the height of irresponsibility” – NYTIMES editorial

Was that a “gun-rights” bill or a “states’ rights” bill.

There are only two states that don’t have concel and carry laws – that’s Illinois and I think Wisconsin.
Of course, getting from Kansas to Hawaii with a concealed weapon might be a bit tricky unless one is traveling by water.

Want to post the legal theories under which such a position might be advanced?
And BTW – the position you refer to is in fact the Constitution’s position. This country decided its policy regarding possession of arms some 200 plus years ago, and thought it so important they cast it in our fundamental law. You’re welcome to try to repeal the 2nd Am., if you’ve got the votes. You don’t, but I encourage you to try . . .
“GMC70″ –
It’s a States’ Rights issue.
Here and I thought CONs were in favor of States’ Rights.
If Alaska wants to allow ex-convicts and sexual predators walking around the tundra with a LadySmith pistol, fine with me.
If the New York General Assembly is diffident about convicted felons, rapists, and child molesters packing heat in the subways, they can enact laws appropriate to their constituents’ demands.

Just what in the HE!! are you ragging on me about now?? I mean, I just SAID that I suspect the SCOTUS would reject the “control” law passed by the Senate…
Methinks you best read what I said again… eh???
ALSO, GMC, please note that it is YOU who bring up the 2nd Amendment… NOT me….
MH –
personally, I agree with you. I don’t have any real desire to have the federal nose under the tent of State’s CC laws. On the other hand, teh provisions of the bill (as I understand it) were widely misrepresented (what a surprise! ). The law required reciprocity to CC holders – but under the laws of that state; in other words, while a CC holder from KS might have to recognized in Mass., he still had to abide by Mass law in doing so, and was responsible for knowing same (much like a driver’s license).
And as I said, I’m not particularly in favor of law. It seems a slippery slope to me. I’d rather concentrate on the 2nd Am. being incorporated like the rest of the Bill of Rights.
Chas – Actually, YOU raised the 2nd Am., you’re just not bright enough to realize it.
. . . CC holder from KS might have to BE recognized in Mass., . . .
“WASHINGTON (July 22) – A federal judge has sentenced a former Fox News Channel producer to 10 years in prison for possession of child pornography.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Aaron Bruns was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court.
Prosecutors had recommended the 10-year term, citing Bruns’ prior conviction on similar charges.
Authorities arrested Bruns in February after investigators said he had been sharing pornography on a social networking Web site. Bruns pleaded guilty in May to possession of child pornography.
Bruns covered Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2008 and later was a general producer in Washington, covering politics.”

As President Obama pushes for passage of his first major domestic policy change, some physicians are waging an all-out war against a health care reform bill they say amounts to nothing more than socialized medicine.
The American Medical Association — the nation’s largest physician organization with nearly 250,000 members — initially opposed the president’s plan, but backed the House Democrats’ version of the bill last week. That has led to an internal dispute that has resulted in some physicians leaving the nation’s largest doctors’ association.
Watson said the president’s reform bill is loaded with rules and regulations that will ultimately result in shoddy patient care and long waiting lines. He blasted the bill as “insidious” by forcing doctors contracted with Medicare into the nationalized plan — a “trap” he described as “involuntary servitude.” “This is war,” Dr. George Watson, a Kansas physician and president-elect of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons, told FOXNews.com Thursday. “This is a
bureaucratic boondoggle to grab control of health care. Everything that has been proposed in the 1,018 page bill will contribute to the ruination of medicine.”

That, on the other hand, appears to be an overt threat.
Are you going to include Satterfield in your little rampage?

Hey cos,
Why don’t you paste a link that shows the flawed models predicting the last 8 years of cooling.
Didn’t think so.
Next?
From Bob Cesca –
I clicked over to one of those health insurance shopping sites, entered my family’s information (family of three, non-smokers) and the top rated, best selling plan on the site showed a $476 monthly premium with a $250 deductible, 10% co-insurance, and $20 doctor’s visits.
A government plan that’s 40% cheaper, as Bachmann noted, would cost around $286 per month — a $190 discount. It wouldn’t exclude us for preexisting conditions. It wouldn’t randomly deny us coverage. It wouldn’t conspire to cancel our coverage as soon as we got sick. And we could take it with us wherever we go.
However, the public option would function similarly to Medicare which carries a $96 per month premium (Part B) for a married couple making less that $170,000 a year. There’s a $135 deductible and a 20% co-insurance.
(Incidentally, the absolute most expensive Medicare premium is $308 per month — paid by couples earning a massive $500,000 a year. Not even close to the $476 per month private insurance premium I quoted above.)
But the public option isn’t just about the low premium, it’s about the security. It’s about knowing that you’re paying into a system that will always be there.
soldevvb,
Are you completely unable to learn the basics of climate science?
The models do not include short-term influences that cannot be predicted, like ENSO events.
Monkeyhawk seems to be volunteering to pay for BlueJay’s health insurance.

Bull Schitt
I’m going to defend GMC here. I’m sure that what he does takes many hours off the clock, per se. So if he wants to take a little break and escape, I have no issue with that, considering he’s likely also working at midnight tonight.
Real thoughtful commentary there, “Regular” –
I’m confident “GMC70″ appreciates your substantive defense of his goldbricking.
He’d probably tell you himself, but he’s off work by now.
“Political_mama” –
Perhaps if he were actually working at 10am he wouldn’t have to “work” at midnight.
I read some of the comments today, and there are some seriously ignorant people on this board who really sound dumb, kindof like that woman screaming today on the tv that Obama is an illegal alien.
The worst thing is that these people really think they’re being smart.
Dr Watson chooses to not treat people who are on medicaid and medicare. He does a disservice to people and wants to choose his patients. That isn’t a good doctor in my opinion. Luckily, there are real doctors out there who believe in helping people and know full well that we have to have healthcare reform. The equipment out there nowadays that is crucial to diagnostics is expensive. I hope his rich clients are covering that expense.
I disagree. Sometimes I work all day and all night.
And I had an Obama sticker on my vehicle while going to work. I had to remove it when I started using my vehicle for work.
I guess the person who came up with that phrase thought the only people who were going to work were in an old chevy pickup with tools in the back.
Monkeyhawk–
Actually, I agree with Regular on this. If nobody can blog from work, then nobody can blog except for you and . . . uh . . . Regular.
I’ve said the same to KSFrmGrrl when she was ragging on GMC for the same deal.
*****
Here’s an interesting view you won’t hear on the drive-by media.
William Rivers Pitt at TruthOut on the Torture:
Three weeks ago, however, the whole nature of the torture debate changed irrevocably when an American soldier from Idaho named Bowe Bergdahl somehow fell into the hands of the Taliban in Afghanistan. They have him now, and God help him, because it was the United States government under the administration of George W. Bush that set the terms for how anyone captured can and should be treated.
If the Taliban decide Bergdahl has information they want, they can waterboard him until he talks. They can compress his body and cover him with insects, they can rob him of sleep and deny him food, they can beat him and slather his body with his own waste, they can shove sticks into his rect*m, they can r*pe him, and they can murder him. They can hand him over to representatives of another government and have him whisked away to some far-flung dungeon where “enhanced interrogation” has an even darker and more savage definition. For sure, they can deny him due process of any kind and never, ever, ever, ever let him go home again.
They could do this whether or not the United States had engaged in similar practices, but because we did these things, they can do these things and still claim the moral high ground. Why not? It was the United States government under the administration of George W. Bush who plowed that high ground into the gutter. Everyone stands the same height when they’re face-down in the sewer.
One thing the Taliban apparently cannot do, however, is videotape their prisoner. Several days ago, a tape of Bergdahl, with his head shaved, pleading to be sent home to his parents, was released by his captors. “I am scared,” said Bergdahl in the video. “I’m scared I won’t be able to go home. It is very unnerving to be a prisoner. I have my girlfriend who is hoping to marry. I have my grandma and grandpas. I have a very, very good family that I love back home in America. And I miss them every day that I’m gone. I miss them and I’m afraid that I might never see them again and that I’ll never be able to tell them that I love them again. I’ll never be able to hug them.”
The US government reacted swiftly to the video of Bergdahl. “We condemn the use of this video and the public humiliation of prisoners,” said US military spokesman Col. Greg Julian. “It is against international law. We are doing everything we can to return this soldier to safety.”
How hard it must have been for the US military to release a statement like that without feeling sick at heart and scared to death. The terrible irony and hypocrisy of the statement they released about the Bergdahl video must have been searing; we have set the table in such a way that torture is a positive action that saves lives, but videotapes are right out? No, that doesn’t scan, and we know it, and the Taliban know it, and dollars to donuts Bergdahl knows it, too. Is he waiting in terror for the torture to begin? Has it already started?
The torture debate in America got real three weeks ago, and every American so-called Christian who has defended the practice can appreciate the lesson: we reap what we sow.
Pray Bowe Bergdahl doesn’t reap it for us.
“Political_mama” –
Sometimes I work all day and all night.
I don’t have time to blog during those times.
There’s work to do.
Work that earns my living.
This particular little kerfuffle started when CONs objected to me reposting a public Want Ad documenting the Butler County Attorney’s office needs another $38,000-a-year lawyer to augment “GMC70’s” duties.
“Regular” threatened to put a bullet between my eyes. “Heckler” and “outlander” piled on in moralist horror at Jan Satterfield’s Help Wanted ad. (She didn’t get the death threat I did, but I suspect “Regular” thinks she might deserve it, too. Correct me if I’m wrong, “Regular.”)
I have no desire whatsoever to silence “GMC70.”
I frequently find him to be articulate and informed and capable of rational opinions.
After all, today:
GMC70

MH -
personally, I agree with you….”
See?
He’s a man of discernment and occasional wisdom.
Now I don’t blog when there’s work to do. You don’t blog when there’s work to do. “Regular” doesn’t… well, work, so that’s not a good example.
Anyone who’s paid attention to WE Blog knows “GMC 70″ has a government job and seems to have a lot of office time he chooses to contribute to this forum.
In the meantime, the taxpayers of Butler County are scrambling to find another $38,000-a-year lawyer to supplement the County Attorney office’s workload.
I didn’t say that.
Jan Satterfield said that.
But who gets the death threat from “Regular?”
Gotta agree with Monkeyhawk.
I don’t care if someone like Heckler wastes company time. I had it worked out to a fine art myself.
But as a generally Government opposing con who WORKS for the Government, GMC is in a position to waste the people’s money WHILE he advocates against the very Government that he is working for.
Also he doesn’t have much of anything interesting to say and is a pompous bore.
Monkey’s bent for the same reason Chicken Farmer was bent. GMC has spanked him so bad, and made him look so stupid so many times that the only way the Monkster can retain any self respect is to attack GMC personally.
pathetic, just like the chicken farmer.
TRUST me. Neither GMC’s ego OR his gut for that matter need feeding.
He started out here tagging around after me occasionally posting the verbose equivalent of “harrumph”.
THAT’s when he wasn’t calling this forum a “liberal circle jerk” and taking his ball and declaring intention NEVER to return.
Meeting him in person, he comes across just the same as he does here.
“CapnAmerica” –
Your comment about me and “Regular” is valid as far as anyone knows via this forum about my work.
I’m a free-lancer these days. Sit around like a firefighter until something flares up.
It’s a bizarre business I work in.
A week ago last Monday I got a 3am call from London asking for 10 “computer slu+ jokes” by noon my time.
(My personal favorite: “That’s been hit more than Google.” They used “Her vag is like Wikipedia…anyone can make an entry.”
They pay me an obscene amount of money for that stuff. And there’s no heavy lifting. And I have plenty of time to monitor the political nut wing on WE Blog.
I don’t get a monthly check from the government and I don’t need my sister to help me change my Depends. I don’t have a
quackdoctor to supplement my monthly government check. Then again, my Dad doesn’t call me “Boy,” the same way he refers to his lead duck-herding dogs. I don’t even have a regular “pay” day like “ANTI” (who also finds a lot of time to blog), who announced he’s applying for a “Pay-Day Loan.”So life is pretty good for me.
But I don’t blog when there’s work to be done.
Neither does “Political_mama.”
Neither do you, I presume, “CapnAmerica.”
“GMC70?” Not so much.
Monkey
How many of your leftwing buddies on this blog work for the an educational institution supported by the state?
You’ll notice, if you’re awake, that many days and sometimes weeks go by at times between posts by GMC. The nature of his job means he’ll be snowed under for weeks at a time… and then won’t have squat to do.
As long as he doesnt blog about political issues specific to Butler County or to the details of his job I don’t have a problem with it. And I pay taxes and vote in Butler County.
“Monkey’s bent for the same reason Chicken Farmer was bent. GMC has spanked him so bad, and made him look so stupid so many times that the only way the Monkster can retain any self respect is to attack GMC personally.”
Bullsh*t. GMC is a decent blogger, and sometimes a formidable poster from the right (although many of his posts are supported simply by ideology). Monkeyhawk and KSfarmgrrl do engage in a lot of snark, and will sometimes troll, but they are also formidible posters.
And on substance, they do as well as anyone here. Of late, Monkeyhawk has had a lot of substance in his posts.
However, in general, his substantive points are ignored in favor of more personal but rhetorically empty comments. Some of the shallower bloggers from the right (which means quite frankly, at this time, most of the bloggers from the right, scurry like cockroaches from the actual points Monkeyhawk thinks and appear to think corrupting his name and claiming that he is stupid or “getting spanked”).
It is true that GMC’s posts generally occur during working hours. However, I agree with Capn America as to it being a non-issue (we have no special insight as to whether GMC’s job is getting done, and no reason whatsoever to think that it is not getting done). And the ad Monkeyhawk posted notwithstanding, we have no idea why the position is needed and available.
“Heckler” –
As a Butler County taxpayer you must be willing and eager to pony up $38,000 to augment “GMC70’s” workload.
Jan Satterfield is.
“…Monkeyhawk thinks…”

Well, opinions differ. I think he’s derivative.
It’s ironic that my pal farmgrrl is mentioned. GMC began posting here with a decided lack of personality or style to his posts.
So, he derived of other posters (like farmgrrl) and created a personality that he didn’t originally have.
I’m kinda surprised that an Ass’t Prosecutor makes such a low salary.
Is that full-time?
Dude, just manage a Quick Trip.
“Regular” threatened to put a bullet between my eyes.
I never said anything about bullets or firearms.
“So, he derived of other posters (like farmgrrl) and created a personality that he didn’t originally have.”
Most posters create personas. Do u suppose KFG goes about he heing hysterically in real life?

================================================
Fishin’ ain’t easy, Monkeyhawk.

“Well, opinions differ. I think he’s derivative.”
Of what?
“It’s ironic that my pal farmgrrl is mentioned. GMC began posting here with a decided lack of personality or style to his posts.”
I am not sure what you mean here, but in terms of being a good poster who contributes to discussions, “style” and “personality” are way down the list. I like content. Sometimes, “style” and “personality” is all too often responded to instead of content. This certainly happens to Monkeyhawk and Farmgrrl. On the occasions when Regular actually decides to go for something other than respondent post counts (which is not often), the same thing sometimes happens to him.
So, he derived of other posters (like farmgrrl) and created a personality that he didn’t originally have.
“So, he derived of other posters (like farmgrrl) and created a personality that he didn’t originally have.”
Like I said, I have no idea what you are talking about here.

I have no idea how long you have been reading/posting here Agnatha. So I don’t know how much of GMC’s history you know.
He started out as a one or two line poster strictly to gun threads. Til I started poking holes in him and making him careen entertainingly around the room and frequently off the forum. In rant, he was somewhat entertaining. Outside of that, his posts were very reflective of someone who pores over legalese all day.
One fond memory was when he thought IOKIYAR was some sort of secret liberal code!
I DID once opine that he was about the best the cons had. But that is only damning him with faint praise when he comes from a bench of religious nuts, greedheads, cranks and the mentally unsound.
Also, I don’t LOOK for substance from cons. I’ve no interest to buy anything they have for sale.

soldevvb seems to incorrectly believe that M & M’s flawed attack on MBH98 also refutes all of the later reconstructions that all have characteristics similar to MBH98.

Way to go, soldevvb! You’re an excellent example of an AGW science denier.

I have no idea how long you have been reading/posting here Agnatha. So I don’t know how much of GMC’s history you know.
————-
Funny how you attack GMC while you know he hasn’t posted for hours.
You accuse others of waiting until YOU are gone (which is never) to post attacks on you.
As for yourself, hypocrite thy be.
I oppose banning weiners.
Trying to paint liberals as racist, when that is the republican mantra, is pretty funny really.
Byrd abandoned and has apologized for his young ignorant ways. If he was caught using the N word that would be the end of him now.
Trying to paint liberals who use the N word is pretty funny?
Thanks Pmom for the great laugh of the day.
Wow. I had no idea I’d be the center of attention just because MH is dying to shut me up so desperately. I take that as a compliment, MH. I understand you deny that; of course you do. We just know better. On the occasion you demonstrate any real understanding of just what I do, or I am answerable to you for every minute I spend, I’ll worry about it.
I don’t think I need to worry.
So you go right on demonstrating that the concept of walking and chewing gum simultaneously is a foreign one to you. I don’t mind.
JR is still imagining himself somehow relevant. How quaint.
As to others, thanks for the kind words. I will continue to respond when a subject interests me, and do my best to deal with substantive issues and avoid personal attacks, the terminal hate and snarkiness from the left notwithstanding.
Geez all the cons wanna be GMC’s mom.
I’ll take that apology in engraved form there “jim”.
GMC had a hint he was gonna be the subject. That GUARANTEED that we would hear from him. Ya get to know a pompous egomaniac.

====================================
LMFAO!
So true,
Thanks GMC, I needed a good laugh!
Weiners are one of the basic food groups…

Oh GMC has demonstrated he can take care of himself.
BJ, can you?
I’m still waiting for Chas to answer how the SCOTUS can overturn a Bill that was defeated by the Senate.
Anyone have any idea why that hasn’t happened yet?
You won’t find ME switching MY nic “JimJohnson”.
Take what as an apology BJ?
You must not see those directed your way very often.
We actually had a name on GMC at one time.
I didn’t commit it to memory though.
Imagine that.

If you can’t win a written argument with him, then by all means, violate WE Blog rules and threaten to expose his personal information.
Or, invite him to meet with you.
And a good question was posed, Chas: Just what law was passed that you referred to? (Hint – the Senate declined to pass CC reciprocity)
You won’t find me switching my nic unless a con (Hank Price) whines about the forum, gets the sign in changed, and J R is not available.
But I never made any secret of it “Jim”
And you?
“Or, invite him to meet with you.”‘
Thanks, I’ve already met him. He was forgettable in person too.
Well BJ, I never make it a point to reveal my identity, do you?
Please list your name, address, and phone number if THAT is your point.
BTW, do you HAVE a point?
LOL my wife has always said that if I was left alone. As long as I had a loaf of bread and a package of hot dogs. She knows I would not starve. Such simple taste, Ok I am a lazy cook!
Chas posted at 10:14 and left.
He’s shown a surprising lack of interest in discussing the SCOTUS overturning the Senate’s defeat of the nationwide concealed carry Bill, for some reason.
Hot Dogs are good, as long as the Government puts a warning label on them telling you they are bad.
You should see the warning labels on cigarettes in some countries in Europe.
They are much more direct, and scary.
That’s why a larger percentage of Europeans smoke, as compared to Americans.
Those scary labels apparently have an effect that was quite the opposite of what was intended.
chili dogs – bad for me – but most excellent for the taste buds. :)

GMC is forgettable in person and in posting there “Jim”.
You’re just plain forgettable.
Ok, forget me then BJ.
As for GMC, he’s had some of the best posts I ever saw on this blog.
BJ, please post some of your best here so that I might have a point of comparison.
Perhaps I have yet to see your bright side.
I pay attention to the warning labels on my cigarette package. Do not smoke while pregnant!
every time I read it make me want to tell the government to quit Fooking with me and raising the taxes on my cigarettes!
Ok, I realize JR, it may take some time to find your most eloquent posts, so I’ll check back in a while.
Say JR, how about that post where you were going to Save The World, or something like that.
Can you find that one for me?
Thanks, in advance.
JR, I’ll check back later.
I realize you have so many posts to search thru, to find the most eloquent ones.
It will take some time to find the best ones.
Mmmm – Chili Cheese Coneys, with jalapenos and onions. Nearly the perfect food.
Deliciously bad for me. Excellent.
And then there’s this irony, lost, I’m sure, on JR:
Thanks, I’ve already met him. He was forgettable in person too.
Given his obvious fascination with me, it turns out JR finds me anything but forgettable. And it appears that he doesn’t like me! Hmmmmmm. That’s hardly shocking, I suppose, JR hates most everything and everybody. It’s his stock in trade.
What I find most interesting is that I’m being attacked on a day when I largely agreed with one of the blog’s more liberal posters! And they say it’s not personal . . . . .
Yeah writerdog, when you get pregnant, I sure hope you quite smoking.
Quite?
Ok, Q U I T.
“As for GMC, he’s had some of the best posts I ever saw on this blog.”
Well, there’s no accounting for taste.
Or really much of anything else from ya “Jim”.
How about you go and get “Gsheridan” or “Max” or whoever you used to be but ran away from and get on back to me?
Say BJ, I remember you posted something great about Self-Reliance.
Do you think you could find that particular post for me?
Senate failed to pass a CC gun law…
My comment still holds… I suspect one of the gun groups will challenge that in Court… I also suspect that the SCOTUS will reverse the Senate… based on their previous 2nd Amendment rulings…
Like I said before GMC, what the he!! are you bit*hing about?? Looks to me like I am taking the side of the 2nd Amendment…
So back off, why dont you??
I had brats for lunch and chili dogs for supper, man I was like the drunk debutante who woke up surrounded
by the entire football team. She proclaimed “ I am in wiener heaven!” OH that is badddd!
Yeah “Jim”?
Around here, I crack the whip you make the trip.

Can you help me understand how the SCOTUS can reverse the Senate’s vote to defeat a nationwide concealed carry Bill?
Yeah writerdog, when you get pregnant, I sure hope you quite smoking.
Heee I get pregnant to heck with smoking I will make a million dollars!
Self-Reliance is when you are taken out on your first Snipe hunt and have said Snipe in a bag when you walk back to the camp site. :)
Well, for starters, because I suspect some of the gun groups will challenge the Senate vote… which will eventually result in a decision by SCOTUS…
Why would you be arguing with me on this?? Just because you cant help yourself??? LOL
Oh, and BJ, “that little whip” you mention, if there is one, it is not evident on this blog.
It may be evident in your little PC room where you hide away 16 hours/day.

Chas, we appear on the same side on this issue, strangely enough, but how can a gun group challenge the defeat of a Bill by the Senate, based on Constitutional grounds?
Well, for starters, because I suspect some of the gun groups will challenge the Senate vote…
And just what legal theory will be advocated to challenge a law that does not exist?
And explain, please, how your position is “taking the side of the 2nd Amendment”?
This should be fun, folks . . . . .
heh heh
SCOTUS only actually stated that the Federal government could not infringe on the 2nd amendment.
But the way it works is that a state can not make a law that is less restrictive such as legalizing something the fed makes illegal. But a state can make a law that is more restrictive then the federal law.
In Constitutional concerns when ever it said “Government” it refers to the federal government.
Actually got a call from the NRA today, but it was during supper preparation, so had to politely decline.
I suppose it was relate to the recent defeat in the Senate of the interstate C%C legislation.
Regular, I’ve enjoyed many Snipe hunts.
A snipe is any of nearly 20 wading bird species in three genera in the family Scolopacidae. They are characterized by a very long, slender bill and cryptic plumage.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipe
BTW, did you know that the difficulties involved in hunting snipe gave rise to the term “sniper”?

Actually didn’t capture a Snipe, but did capture a small garter snake which I threw in the tent of one of the main planners.
Be he never knew tent flaps were so impenetrable. :)
GMC — you’re the legal brains here… Why dont you enlighten us?? Cause I dont think that the Senate should be able to keep people with the proper license from CC to any other state…
What say you??
Some little known info on Snipe, from the Kansas Dept of Wildlife:
http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/Hunting/Migratory-Birds/Snipe
Snipe
To buy your HIP Stamp, CLICK HERE.
Wilson’s snipe (formerly known as common snipe) is a large shorebird (about 10.5 inches long, 3.7 oz) and one of two shorebird species that can be hunted in Kansas. Like other shorebirds, this species prefers to forage on mudflats and in water less than three inches deep in wetlands and along shorelines. Unlike most other shorebirds, common snipe frequently feed at vegetated sites. They use their 2 to 3-inch long bill to probe into the mud for animal foods such as aquatic insect larvae and earthworms.
Snipe nest in Canada and the northern tier of U.S. states. They begin arriving in Kansas during late summer and can remain throughout the winter.
Cheyenne Bottoms and other shallow marshes are the primary snipe hunting areas in Kansas. Snipe hunting is physically challenging because hunters wade or slog through often mucky areas to flush snipe. Just getting off a shot is difficult at times because it’s hard to keep from falling down while swinging the gun in response to their erratic, fast flight. Many a shot is not taken because the hunter is off balance and doesn’t want to fall in the mud.
Snipe hunters need to be proficient in wetland bird identification to make sure they do not accidentally shoot similar-looking species that are protected. Yellowlegs (greater and lesser) and dowitchers (long-billed and short-billed) are the four species most similar in appearance and size to snipe. Color patterns, flight, and call are the best characteristics for distinguishing snipe from look-alike species.
Color – The two yellowlegs species have a white rump patch and the dowitchers have a white stripe that runs from the rump to the middle of the back. A snipe doesn’t have any white on its back.
Flight – Snipe fly in a zig-zag pattern and more powerfully than yellowlegs and dowitchers. Dowitchers and yellowlegs tend to fly in a straight line.
Call – Snipe tend to give a single-note call when flushed, while dowitchers and yellowlegs typically give multiple-note calls.

Yeah “Jim”?
Around here, I crack the whip you make the trip.
—————–
“Here” being cyberspace, little words typed in a blog while sitting on your a $$ at home in front of your PC.
I find it ironic that you are among those who claim GMC is posting on a blog while at work, alledgedly at some government job, while YOU admitedly receive Government support (at least for your kid) and sit at home and post on a blog for nearly 16 hours per day.
Gosh, I bet there are lots of other Bills defeated by the Senate, and even the House, which would have been laws required by the Constitution.
Say BJ are you STILL searching for one of your great eloquent posts?
I’ll check back tomorrow. Maybe you’ll find one by then.
Your claim, Chas, not mine. Your burden, not mine.
Good luck. You’ll need it.
In the voice of Rodney King, “Why can’t we all just get along?”
Personal attacks seems to be the main form of entertainment for us old-time bloggers.
But one doesn’t see a lot of new post-ers, does one.
Nor does one see much of a lot of post-ers who used to be on all the time, people like StevenDavis, KSfrmgrrl, LindainKS, Apopis on the left and RightAngle, GSheridan, CindyDuckett, KSMedowlark on the right or VTolle (moderate). Even the Prices aren’t on like they used to be.
A non-stop insult-fest is not to most people’s tastes. And the blame should be placed exactly where it belongs–the non-moderated format of the WEBlog.
This blog is exactly what one expects it would be given almost zero oversight.
What would driving be like if no one enforced traffic laws?
That’s what this Blog is.
It’s not surprising that a lot of folks don’t want to participate in a forum that will subject them to the kind of abuse that participants routinely inflict on one another.
All due respects Capn but you don’t have to stay.
I hope you do. But this is NOT the time to play nice.
Oh and “Jim”? The only blogger here on Government support is your own James “Regular among many other nics” McCluer.
You can lament the loss of posters like Cindy the scold Duckett or the vile Price’s all you like Capn.
Their absence is not an absence of their malice.
Amazing how all you die-hard state’s righters are upset about states exercising their right to not recognize CC permits form other states, possibly ones with lower standards for CC. NOW you want those hated feds to help ya out, and for some reason they haven’t! Isn’t it just too bad?
I never vote for anyone; I always vote against.
