Consumer
Reports did a study on today's practice of food
downsizing. I know there are others, but so far the only food
product I can name that has not reduced quantity is Ben & Jerry's
Ice Cream, a fact they advertise on their tubs (Still a Pint!).
Another practice designed to fool the consumer is over packaging.
I take 60 grams of protein every morning as part of my regimen to run
marathons. MoSup came home yesterday with a GIANT (trust me) tub
of "Six-Star Pro Nutrition." Wow, this should last twice as long
as the last one. Take a look.
By the By, another effect of downsizing content is skewing the USDA
Food Cost index. They report that "Over the last 12 months, the
all items index increased 1.8 percent before seasonal
adjustment." My guess is that it's more like 10-12%.
The first thing I
bought were these 3600+ calorie energy bars.
While checking around for sources, I discovered the mother lode.
Walmart. Did you know that Wally
will ship damned near anything to your front door, including ice
cream? No shipping cost on cumulative orders over $45! And
no tax!
Yesterday I opened the door to get the paper on there on my doorstep— 100 pounds of
Gold Medal All Purpose flour.
Think about buying 100 pounds of anything; carrying it to your car,
then up the stairs—oh my freaking back! By the way, I will rotate
these foods into our daily larder and replace them so as to keep stuff
fresh. Here's my latest buy.
If I owned any guns, which I do not, they would be also properly ammo'd
up too. Next on my list—a Geiger counter. PS- don't forget that
your water heater is filled with fresh water.

No guns? And you run marathons too? I never would have guessed either one dude.
i was immediately attracted to the 3600cal energy bars and went to order a case of 20 but the shipping was $53! for a $90 ITEM...hmmm.
You've posted the survival tips from that guy in Argentina a couple times and it's been a great guide for me. He speaks from experience-thanx for that Rog MM
My dumbass hippie neighbor from across the street told me he didn't need to own a gun because if he ever needed one, he'd come borrow one of mine. I told him that actually, I had already crossed over to his side and sold all of mine.
He bought it. We had a pleasant chat about how the Donks were taking care of everybody and how morally superior we were, did a fist bump and he wandered off smiling.
Yet another example of leftard entitlement mentality - of course you'd give him one of your guns when the SHTF, because it's soooo much more important for you to protect him, as opposed to protecting yourself and your family.
And I bet he'd expect you to show him how to use it right then, too.

The violent deaths of a few brown people mean nothing to the Demos if it does not further their political purposes.
Well, this is by definition either untrue or a distraction, since it's unreported by the mainstream media. And unhelpful, don'tcha know. Really, intentions were good. Couldn't be helped. Oh, look, a shiny object!
We need to be very careful what we wish for in the coming battles over increased gun control. Republicans seem to be advocating two options: allowing teachers to arm themselves (or providing armed guards), and identifying mentally unstable people so as to limit their access to firearms.
I'm totally on board with the first option--I think that is the best way to deal with the problem. As for option 2, do we really want to give the federal government the power to decide who is mentally unstable and thereby prohibited from owning firearms?
Since 0babmcare is now the law of the land, the federal government controls both the doctors who diagnose you as well as the criteria by which you would be diagnosed. And that's a recipe for disaster.

But
to justify his unwarranted attack, he needed to convince the world
press and the German people that his attack on Poland was provoked. He
had the SS develop a phony incident that would appear as if Polish
soldiers attacked a German radio station.
Though a faked attack
on a small German town's radio station may seem trivial enough to
warrant only a footnote in history, the operation epitomizes the
brutality, deceit, and atrocious nature of Hitler's Third Reich. [Operation

I'm
not suggesting that Obamunists staged the Sandy Hook tragedy, although
I do believe with all my heart that they would in a heart-beat if they
thought it necessary.
The NRA is right by saying that outrages like
Sandy Hook are a predictable result to a rancid society that's
been
shaped by Hollywood and the media. You know what I mean. So,
what's
happened here is the Obamas
know that incidents like this will
continue to occur, and they have a infrastructure in place to make the
most of it.

As tempting as it may be to believe otherwise, this is BS. These same people also claim that Caylee Anthony's death was faked and the child is still alive.
Chuck is a bright guy, who am I to disagree with our Barn Army JAG officer? But are you refering to op canned goods or canned goods II? The subsequent annotations that didn't make it into the final post are pretty good, but I am on my phone, so look up "crisis actors" and maybe "Sandy hook crisis actors" but it comes up with out using the name of the school.

Well, I'm a 72-yr-old who is startled by that stranger's face in the mirror each morning and often finds himself in a room without the slightest friggin clue as to why.
And I am not in the least offended by the joke. Rather, I applaud the guy's sense of pride in appearance, adventure, sociability, and optimistic approach toward life.

Actually that's every dang day down here in Florida. I have to put up with people slamming on the brakes in the middle of intersections who then look around trying to figure out which way they were going. I've had people stop me in the grocery store asking how to get to the front door (then they get in their cars and drive into traffic. Eeeek!)
...I see the pc progs are ramping up. If you don't have a sense of humor about even the darkest thing, you become angry, bitter, and soon crazy.
I also suspect that this sort of faux outrage results frm something like "You don't know how I suffer every day, watching mom/dad.", which tells me it's not about mom or dad, but about the child "me".
Oh, and "Celebrate Homogenety"... I suggest you celebrate differences. When the universe becomes homogenized, it will be nothing but a warm, grey goo. It's the differences that keep life interesting.

We
watched Knight and Day last
night (cable) and, erm...— Oh what the heck!— we enjoyed the hell out
of it. In fact, it was maybe the most fun thing we've watched in
months. No language,
lots of mayhem and killing, but of the James Bond variety-no real gore.
Cruise and Cameron Diaz appeared on Top Gear together to promote this
movie, and were actually quite engaging. Yes, I think Tom Cruise
is a jerk, but you take your wins where you find them these days.
Rotten Tomatoes gave Knight and Day
3 Stars, and so will I. But it gets 5 stars for keeping you
glued. to it.

I saw it, myself. IIRC, my own thoughts of it at the time was that it was a "good little mid-list movie that they (the marketers) are trying to promote like a blockbuster," which it wasn't.
Hollywood actually has a lot of watchable movies in the midlists, so I don't say that to denigrate it in any way. Just that it's one of those movies that probably would have been loved a lot more if it hadn't been overhyped.
(incidentally, I had to cycle through six different capcha images before both the word and the picture were readable. The new capcha set is pretty bad)
I don't watch ANY TV commercial, or pay attention to new movies, so this was just a stumble upon flick. for me.
captcha is entirely run by Blogger (Google). The only control I have is to turn it on or off. I had it turned off for more than a year, but of a sudden I was getting swamped by Chinese (by the sound of their fractured lingo) spammers. I mean like 50-60 a day. Had to go back to captcha. Sorry.
I'm no great Cruz fan either, but you simply must go see Jack Reacher. It's the only film I've seen with an even semi-realistic portrayal of sniping. Some of the lines that Reacher speaks had to have been written by TRKoF. It's an excellent screen adaptation of a wonderful pro-American book. I'm surprised they ever got Cruz to agree to play the part it's so shamelessly pro military and pro American. Cheers!
"I'm no great Cruz fan either, but you simply must go see Jack Reacher"
The books are entertaining and you grow to like Reacher a lot. I've read two in the past few weeks including One Shot. I don't think anyone that's read one of those books will sit still for two hours watching cruise try to act like a man, especially that kind of man.
Also I'm told they took the first part of the book out of the movie because of all the killing. That was the set up and without it the movie must suck out loud. It will be on tv in a few weeks. Read the book instead.
Cruz may be a jerk but, since he does not talk about Terrestrial politics and I do not watch TV, I have not been exposed to enough of his ideas so that they prevent me from suspending disbelief while enjoying one of his movies. I find Diaz's big mouth, politically speaking, more problematic.
Hey, we just found one on NetFlix that is pretty hysterical in all sorts of weird ways. "Iron Sky". Made by Australians, Germans, Finn's and not sure who else. In 1944 some Germans escaped to build a base on the moon. Now it's 2016 and Madam President is running for re-election (she's a hunter from Alaska.)
Fairly apolitical, but very very funny. In a weird way.

And Time Warner just announced that it will no longer carry Current TV because nobody asked them if they approved the sale. Al Jizzera may have a problem now though from my understanding they are more honest about their agenda than MSNBC.
Isn't there supposed to be some kind of congressional oversight when networks change hands? Oh wait, Republicans are still in there, never mind. We'll just have to wait until the Democrats have total power so they can protect us from Islam and ratbastardcommies.
Actually, on the relatively few occasions I've checked out al Jazeera on the web, I've found them to be surprisingly professional and non-partisan. Certainly, much more so than MSNBC .
Perfect timing, just when cable might go à la carte. Let's hope that they lose as much money on the deal as Gore did running it... at least up to the time he unloaded it on the other al.
This skunk was almost President. Gives me the trots just thinking about it. Then there was Jon Edwards, almost vice president. Then there was Barack Obama...oh wait.

Literally millions of American servicemen have served their country
wearing what was/is universally called the "Cunt Cap." I
don't even remember what the proper nomenclature is, but a common
directive from the Master Sgt. was "Fall-in in 20 minutes. Dress
will be khaki and cunt cap." I never actually understood
why it was called that— until just now.
I'm guessing that GIs coming home from deployment in some
European country, who had contact with our Russian allies,
started it even though the two are not at all technically
similar. Ours should have been called something like "soda jerk"
cap.

A garrison cap. I figured it was called that because officers and chiefs wore them in the Navy. Tim
Omigod! That brought back memories!!! I remember sitting in a hangar at a maintenance meeting back in 1976 (it was a helicopter detachment with about 45 guys and 1 female mechanic) and the commander was telling us about a formation we needed to attend.
Someone asked him what the uniform was and he said blues with short sleeved shirt, tie, ribbons and cunt cap.
You could have heard a pin drop if it weren't for the sudden intake of breath and then the lone female asking, "did you just say "cunt cap?"
Needless to say we had fodder for conversation for days afterward.
True story!!
And no one filed charges against him, either.
That was back when common sense existed and people realized sometimes we all suffer a slip of the tongue.
Today he'd have been counseled, forced to attend sensitivity training and probably never gotten promoted again.

It's the stupidest item of headgear ever devised. Hot in summer Cold in winter Doesn't keep the sun out of your eyes. Doesn't keep the rain off your glasses or your neck. Costs money. Can't wash it - cheaper to replace it than to dry clean it. Ugly as hell.
It's only redeeming feature is to be relatively easy to store and transport and not get screwed up like a nice stetson or outback hat would.
Had one redeeming feature: It was easy to carry two of them. That way, you could come to work, flip one into your "IN" basket and then go on your merry way.

Waldo, dildo; there's no real difference any longer.
Wait, wait, wait, "Christie Lashes Out Against Boehner After Vote On Sandy Aid Scrapped." And King does the same? Wow. Looks like solid, big government RINO fight to me. oy vey ole'
This damn thing is crammed with 50 billion in pork but, you won't see fat boy bitch about that will you? Fuck you Christie - we are tired of having shit rammed down our throats with no say in the matter. I am not a big Boehner fan but, in this case, he is right. The "emergency" amount is 9 billion and THIS is what should be passed quickly and the pork be shoved up the dems fat asses....sorry for the profanity but, I am so gd mad since November that I need to vent.
And that $60 billion to people who built in flood zones will exactly cancel out the new revenue Uhbama is touting to be generated by the 'millionaires and billionaires paying their fair share' the Congress just passed. BTW, there are billions in that bacon sandwich going to 'Climate Change' prevention and green energy scams. What a bunch of shameless, greedy, lying, stealing, self-serving motherfucking, arrogant pricks we have in that bunch. Bolivar is right. Lt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick
The sad thing is that what isn't going to pork projects will end up in the hands of unions who rule the northeast and who will control all Sandy restoration and skim the majority of the money into their greasy pockets. King and Christie only care about looking good and getting votes-their feigned outrage disgusts me.
And, besides, they in Congrefs should not get paid lessen they do their job. No more raises until the economy improves and the budget is balanced. No new 'projects'. Smatter of face, LIFO works for me. Start peeling back the budget, newest things first to go. That way, the libraries and parks won't get closed first, the usual tactic to weasel more taxpayer money. Don't forget, reducing taxes doesn't COST the government anything as the whiners like to complain, it SAVES the TAXPAYER some money. They forget who earned the money in the first place. tomw

These should not be foreboding years. The U.S. is in the midst of a
veritable energy revolution. There is a godsend of new gas and oil
discoveries that will help to curtail our fiscal and foreign policy
vulnerabilities — an energy bonanza despite, not because of, the
present administration.
Demographically, our rivals — the EU, China, Russia,
and Japan — are both shrinking and aging at rates far in excess of our
own.
But ....
These are the most foreboding times in my 59 years. The reelection of
Barack Obama has released a surge of rare honesty among the Left about
its intentions, coupled with a sense of triumphalism that the country
is now on board for still greater redistributionist change.

In terms of farming, the United States is
exporting more produce than ever before at record prices. Americans eat
the safest and cheapest food on the planet.
As far as high-tech gadgetry, the global companies that have most
changed the world in recent years — Amazon’s online buying, Google
search engines, Apple iPhones, iPads, and Mac laptops — are mostly
American. There is a reason why Mexican nationals are not crossing
their border into Guatemala — and it is not because they prefer English
speakers to Spanish speakers.
Militarily, the United States is light years ahead of its rivals. And
so on…
