Follow this Link out to lecture 20. The Feudal Order
Also: This blog has many people with a very divergent set of expertise and knowledge. Therefore, I am opening this slot for guest ‘lectures’ for anyone who submits a well written, fully cited, submission on a topic that is normally not covered on the blog. The submission can be on a topic that is covered but it will have to be very in depth and go into new detail that would greatly increase the understanding of the subject at hand. Submissions may be made to the blog’s email address with the subject line ‘Saturday Lecture Series’. I reserve the right to edit, approve, and publish at my discretion. So, who is up for the challenge?
Hi, Ludwigged Out,
Fair deal, you log on and debate the “dumb crackers” who post on Anthony Watts watts up with that blog. None of us here, daedalus or lgf’s .001 will post there while you show those dumb wingnuts watts watt.
When you win, come back and take a lap with your flag up hing.
Thanks for being what you are.
tfk
@ taxfreekiller:
He would do the same as at Daedalus. Post some inane dribble and then scamper back over to .001 claiming victory over the wingnuts.
And that seems to be enough for the new crop of minions. It’s pretty sad really.
Good morning tfk!
One correction to the clip … “Alla be praised, I’ve just stolen the zero!”
On Obama:
Most used:
“Let me be clear.”
In my not so humble opinion.
Not so much.
@ m:
yes, these were made well before the muslim lies got really exposed.
Hey everybody

Hey Rightside! What’s the haps?!
@ coldwarrior:
Yeah, but dude is a trip. I love the clips.
Good morning. A news item reported this morning,
at one point during the demonstration the police
abandoned the American Embassy security.
There was lag time until the Army replaced them.
During the void the entire Embassy fleet was stolen!
@ m:
recovering well thanks, how are you?

yeah, sure he did…coupled with
Joe Biden says Egypt’s Mubarak no dictator, he shouldn’t step down…. and wonders what the Egyptian protesters want.
we got fools running the joint

@ coldwarrior:
Yeah, there’s something wrong with this story.
Thinking back to the Iranian hostage crisis & there
are differences, I would think about evacuating
our Embassy.
There are reports that the protestors are riding
on tanks with the Army.
Good Morning all. A nice balmy, foggy 50 here in Central Texas. Should see mid-70′s by this afternoon.
Here are some musings from Clint Eastwood found in an article at the WSJ. I’ve been a big Eastwood fan ever since his Rawhide days. When I was in San Francisco about 10 years ago, I saw an article that Clint was closing his Hog’s Breath Saloon down in Carmel so I drove down there to enjoy some drinks and get one of the last Hog’s Breath t-shirts in stock. I left there and drove down to Mission Ranch and had a few more toddies and a great dinner. Really a beautiful place. You may remember that Clint testified before Congress about the hardships place on business owners by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It seems that malcontent sued him because one of the guest cottages at Mission Ranch was not totally up to snuff on it’s ADA equippage. As a result of Clint’s testimony to Congress, the law was changed so that prior to suing, the would be defendant be notified of definciencies and given a reasonable time to get into compliance. It really cut down on the lawsuits. … and he didn’t have to kill anyone.

Sorry to go OT but this is some scary stuff. Reminds me of the commie goals which have been quite successful.

yep…the embassy has a secure parking area, they all do.
(i even checked on google maps)
Marines should be the guards at the embassy.
Only way they did not fight for the cars is they were told to let the go or they were outside. My guess is outside, the storage place was handing a kick back to someone inside the embassy who had the power to make the deal.
Second guess, Obama ordered the Marines not to fight back.
Third guess, they were GM cars and the drivers wanted to get rid of them.

Frank Gaffney was talking about that last night on his Secure Freedom Radio podcast.
@ taxfreekiller:
all embassies have a secure parking area behind walls, barbed wire, ‘tank traps’ huge metal blocks that elevate out of the ground to completely block entrance and exit that are controlled from post 1 inside the embassy by the marines
me thinks i smell some fish
also need to know if this was just the service fleet or the cars for the officers with all the commo gear…
@ coldwarrior:
The report didn’t say if the vehicles were parked
in the compound or outside. Either way though, the
story is odd.
taxfreekiller wrote:
My guess is number two.
If that Embassy is occupied by the protestors,
we have Jimmy Carters even more evil twin in
the White House.
coldwarrior wrote:
Here are some more pearls of wisdom from that NPR interview. Biden actually said “I think that the time has come for President Mabarak to begin to move in the direction of being more responsive to some of the needs of the people”. Now there’s some tough talk for ya. Mark Steyn was sitting in for Rush yesterday and had great sport with that crap.
Speaking of Steyn…
@ The Osprey:
Steyn is great. Wish he had his own show.
Bolton on Egypt: “It is not inevitable that street demonstrations lead to Jeffersonian democracy.”
Take heed, Barrette Brown.

He’s practically a fixture on Rush’s show. They have a studio setup for him in New Hampshire, they refer to it as “Ice Station EIB”. LOL.
Well it seems the house of Saud isn’t down with the what’s going on in Egypt. Go figure.

From this past August.Yup,bho is ok with the MB.

Scary thought!
@ coldwarrior:
They’re lovin’ it all right. Remember how they dealt with their protesters a couple of summers ago? Funny, I don’t recall anyone from the Left calling for restraint on behalf of the Iranian govt.
@ huckfunn:
LOL! no No NO…not THAT Jacksonian. THIS Jacksonian…
@ gulfloafer:
we had two chances to flip iran…bush and 0 both blew it.
when will we learn?
bbl…got chores to do
@ coldwarrior:
Chores,lol,you mean the honey do list….
@ huckfunn:
They are stealing mummies from the Cairo museum I hear.
Mubarak has sworn in a VP & it is reported that his
wife & sons with their families are in London.
To me it looks like he is either planning a fight
to the death & wants his family safe or he is getting
out of Dodge.

What kinda bottle rockets are you packin?
vagabond trader wrote:
Yeah, but they better not mess with Imhotep. I saw
the movie.
@ RIX:
Yeah,someone commented that sending his family out probably means he is clearing the table for a battle.If the military stays with him.
@ RIX:
Dude will mess you up.
vagabond trader wrote:
That’s my guess. At some point the Army may tell
him to go, but I doubt that they will flat turn
on him.

Oh yeah, thank God for Brandon Fraiser.

The scenario would probably be like the German army in 1918. They didn’t actually turn on the Kaiser. They just told him “we don’t work for you anymore”.
@ huckfunn:
Events can change, but right now that is the smart money.
Macker wrote:
The Egyptian govt, from what I understand and that ain’t a whole lot, has done a pretty good job of keeping the MB in check. If the world abandons the Mubarak regime the MB will have free reign.
This is just so much pressure on Obama. Who knew
that he would have to deal with things like Egypt?
Maybe he should go back to Hawaii to contemplate
things while bodysurfing & Michelle can shove icecream
in her face & then come back & give nutrition lectures.
Myself, would not put any life ins. policies out on any one on one side of this or the other. The mullas want him dead, he wants them deak, the MB wants them both dead, Iran and Ben Loud one want them all dead, looks to me like there will be high numbers of dead but not reported by the winners.

If you’re referring to my avatar…those are 150,000 years old.
While the reports of gov’t shakeups are troubling, the ‘dozens of dead’ and ‘army sitting it out’ reports make me wonder just how serious it is given the media’s penchant for exaggeration. Dozens of dead, while sad, points to rioting as opposed to budding revolution.
They could pull an LA 92 and go home when they steal enough stuff.
@ RIX:
Yea, though they aren’t exactly safe going to Londonstan
