“Two young Kiwis have put New Zealand on the world map by gaining a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest tape ball. The record tape ball weighs a staggering 53kgs and has a circumference of more than 2.5 metres.”
Even though “Mr. Tape Ball” weighs about 117 pounds, he won’t sit in a car seat and won’t “buckle-up.” Mr. TB has an attitude that I don’t like. Mr. TB doesn’t rock. He rolls, and if I had to stop suddenly, I wouldn’t want his 117 pounds of attitude jamming my temporal, parietal and occipital lobes out through my nose. In other words, don’t expect a ride from me, Mr. TB. I’ll give you a push in a downhill direction, but that’s it.
[Good God. I've lost it. I'm talking to a ball of Kiwi tape that I met on the internet, in the back seat of a car that I don't own.]

climate chaos update:
Britain is expected to continue shivering for another fortnight as lower than normal temperatures accompany the earliest widespread snowfall since 1993.
The severe weather has already resulted in school closures as northern Scotland, north-east England and parts of north and east Yorkshire were blanketed in up to 6in of snow.
Forecasters have issued further heavy snow warnings for those areas, the East Midlands, the East of England, south-west England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
@ Morgan:
I agree with you. Rubio has lots of potential, but the country is not looking for and does not need another barely elected Senator with no leadership experience running for president.
I have no doubt Rubio would be vastly superior to what we have now, but he is still a young buck and needs to establish some bona fides before pursuing the highest office.
More proof of global warming!

@ AZfederalist:
The thing that caught my attention was when the writer started with the analogy of Reagan running in 1968 for President, in an attempt to note the parallel now between Rubio and Reagan.
What the writer overlooks, however, is that Reagan never intended to be elected President in 1968. He ran as a favorite son candidate in order to prevent a repeat of the 1964 GOP convention (where the contentious primary battle resulted in a divided party). He had no intention of accepting the nomination because he knew he wasn’t ready to become President just two years after being elected Governor of California.

The Elitists, both Left and Right, correctly see her as a threat to their power base. This may make electing her more difficult, but makes her to me (and I suspect many others) a more attractive candidate.

I like her fine. O’Reilly asked her what she would do about the Gulf spill and she had a ready answer. She would probably tell the Muslims to stuff it and she would lower taxes which would stimulate the economy.
I’ve never heard her say it but she looks pro-gun to me.

Romney’s a good guy, but he’s not a good choice. I don’t like popular people from any party to be president. I want a guy who doesn’t care if he pisses off people, as long as he does what is right, and knows the difference between pinto beans and red beans.
@ coldwarrior:
Romney is the Establishment Republican candidate. We’d be replacing a Left-wing incompetant with a nominally right-wing incompetant. A minor gain, I guess. At least Romney wouldn’t be trying to destroy America, but he wouldn’t be doing the hard things that need to be done to save her, either. He’ll try and kick the can dwon the road, and we can’t afford to play that game anymore. I understand Palin is damaged from the incessant (and sometimes irrational) attacks from the Left. If I were her, I don’t know as I would want to subject my family to a Presidential run. If the fuckers will attack Trig Palin (and they have), they will do anything. But if not Palin, who? No one speaks to the Heartland the way Sarah has. No one since Reagan has cared what the heartland really thought.

She may not. The question is who are we going to get behind in 2012. I do not want Romney. I do not want Huckabee. I want someone who is a solid conservative, who is beholden to as few Washington interests as possible (Washington interests are not the interests of the Country), and who is electible. Sarah can provide the first two in spades, but is marginal on the third. OTOH, electing someone who can’t provide th efirst two is, to me, not a victory.

@ Iron Fist:
Agreed. Allen Wes would be my pick.
@ coldwarrior:
Truth is of no particular matter to the Left. The other day Lost said the biggest thing they have against Palin overseas was her quip about she could “see Russia from her front porch”. The only problem is she didn’t say that. Tina Fey did. It doesn’t matter if the closest Jindal ever got to an exorcism was watching the movie. If they can tar him with it, they will. It doesn’t disqualify him, of course. It is simply a direction of attack that used to be off limits that we have to be ready for.
Jindal is Roman Catholic.
@ Iron Fist:

night all!
Jindal’s potential religion problem has nothing to do with exorcism or the fact that he’s RC. It consists of the fact that he supported the teaching of creationism in public schools. There goes science types and a large chunk of the libertarians as well as most of the only vaguely religious/agnostic. And on comes the “religious right” label. And then he loses. If he keeps doing a good job as governor, hopefully for another term, and watches his mouth, he can get far enough away from that minefield to essentially cancel it out, but not by next year, which is when the election starts.
@ Calo:
Allen West is good, but he will need more time in public service. the 2012 election cycle has already started, and he hasn’t even been sworn in yout. The same is true of Marco Rubio. Both are formidible potential candidates, and both fit the criteria I mentioned above. They just won’t be ready by 2012.
@ Mike C.:
That hurts him with CHarles Johnson, but how many divisions doe he have? It’ll hurt him with people who would never vote for a Republican, but I am sick of us trying to warp our message to please people who hate our guts. Would it hurt him among independants? Not likely in the South. I don’t know about the resto of the country, though.
@ Iron Fist:
It will hurt him with me, and I’m not alone. I want a federalist and somebody with some economic sanity; someone who believes in the constitution and has at least a modicum of common sense about themselves. Somebody who believes in limited government, free enterprise, and the inviolate rights of the citizens, including property rights in all aspects. Somebody who conflates religion and science is not on my list.

I’ve got no beef with people believing in one flavor of religion or another. I do, however, have a beef with one particular set of religious beliefs being taught in science class when it has nothing to do with science at all. If people want to teach it in public school along with other religion’s versions of it in something like a comparative religion class, I’m okay with that as well. But it’s not science – period.

Start small and with qualified instruction. A rifle in .22 LR – cheap to shoot, lots and lots of good ones available at reasonable prices. After he learns how to handle that safely and competently he can move on to other things if desired. Get qualified instruction.
@ Calo:
Henry Rifle – Golden Boy
Ruger 10/22
Either one of those is a good quality gun. The lever gun is a real Henery rifle, which is kind of historic. The 10/22 will take high-capacity clips. Either one is good for learning the basics: Safety first. I highly recomend a hunter safety course or something similar. Accidents with firearms can be permanent and catastrophic in their consequences. 15 is a good age to start learning about guns, and either of these .22s will be fun and good for learning with.

Neither is Global Warming, and they show Al Gore’s propaganda in science classes. Creationism just isn’t the big threat that Chuck makes it out to be. Personally, I’m not imressed by any part of our public education system. There are a lot greater threats to the education of our (well your children. I don’t have any) children than creationism. The bigggest threat is the teacher’s union.
Heh. I bought the grandson a Henry Youth model (shorter pull) this summer. He’s 10. Ruger has sold a gazillion 10/22s and for good reason. CZ makes a beautiful bolt action .22, but we’re talking more money now. At 15, the 10/22 might be a better choice – I think kids should learn on a manual action, not a semi-auto, but 15 should be old enough to hopefully have him resist any “pray and spray” impulses with propoer instruction
@ Iron Fist:
BINGO!

@ Iron Fist:
Safety first, thank you both – ya’ll are preaching to the choir. Now how many years did I spend as a Critical Care RN in LALA land?

CZ 513 Basic
http://cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-513-basic/
$ 328 list price
CZ makes lots of variants of this basic rifle, some of them quite expensive. “Havoc” at GCP has one of them and swears by it.
Of course, there’s always the possibility your son may be more interested in shotguns than rifles (that’s how I started.) If so, there’s only one choice – the Remington 870. Over 10 million sold and still going as strong as ever. I’d recommend a Wingmaster model in 20 guage to start.

Bill Clinton was awful. Almost Obama bad. The only reason he wasn’t removed from office is that Democrats don’t consider sexual harassment and obstructuion of justice (to say nothing of perjury) as “high crimes and misdemenors”. Bt definition, only Republicans can do things rising to the level of impeachment. And I say nothing of Clinton’s other crimes, like burning 80 men, women, and children alive at Waco. Kidnapping a Cuban boy at gunpoint. Ignoring the massacre in Rwanda (real genocide). Never forget that the Republican “Elites” ran Bob Dole against this motherfucker, if you can consider what Bob Dole did as actually “running” for office. Kind of like McCain in that…
