Today's Wingnut Outrage | IntoxiNation - Ramblings On Politics ...

Time once again to expose the extreme hypocrisy of the wingnuts. Here's video from yesterday's White House presser:

(via Real Clear Politics)

Reporter: What city does this Administration consider to be the capital of Israel? Jerusalem or Tel Aviv?

Jay Carney, White House press secretary: Um... I haven't had that question in a while. Our position has not changed. Can we, uh...

Reporter: What is the capital [of Israel]?

Jay Carney: You know our position.

Reporter: I don't.

And then you get the total disrespect of the crazies from the right wing media:

Lester Kinsolving, World Net Daily: No, no. She doesn't know, that's why she asked.

Carney: She does know.

Reporter: I don't.

Kinsolving: She does not know. She just said that she does not know. I don't know.

Carney: We have long, lets not call on...

Kinsolving: Tel Aviv or Jerusalem?

Carney: You know the answer to that.

Kinsolving: I don't know the answer. We don't know the answer. Could you just give us an answer? What do you recognize? What does the administration recognize?

Carney: Our position has not changed.

Kinsolving: What position?

But let's forget the asshole from World Net Daily that thinks he can just go into the White House and yell at the press secretary. We have become used to that from Republicans, which embrace it from John Boehner on down. Instead let's focus on the question and the response from the wingnuts. For example, king wingnut Glenn Reynolds:

IT?S CRUEL TO MOCK THE DIFFERENTLY-ABLED: White House?s Carney Refuses To Name The Capital of Israel.

There are also many other examples at Memeorandum.

But the interesting part is how the right ignored this same issue during the George W. Bush presidency.

October 02, 2002

The Bush administration said today that it would ignore as unconstitutional new Congressional dictates that would require the United States to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel....

As a candidate for president, Mr. Bush backed Israel's claim to Jerusalem as its capital, but in office he fell back on the longstanding American position that Arabs and Israelis must settle the question together....

On Monday, rather than veto the bill, Mr. Bush signed it. But he said the provisions on Jerusalem "if construed as mandatory rather than advisory, impermissibly interfere with the president's constitutional authority to formulate the position of the United States, speak for the nation in international affairs and determine the terms on which recognition is given to foreign states." He added, "U.S. policy regarding Jerusalem has not changed."

The right didn't throw a hissy-fit over that. I guess it was alright for the white, Republican guy to not only ignore Congress, but make the decision on what they would call the capital of Israel, but don't let the black Democrat do that!

And yet we can expect wingnuts to jump to the old "there you go blaming Bush again" meme, because they have a serious inability to think beyond a second grade mentality.

Olympic-Class Athletes Abound in Animal Kingdom

FRIDAY, July 27 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to speed, strength and endurance, even Olympic athletes can't compete with the animals who are champions in their fields, a British researcher says.

For example, cheetahs and pronghorn antelopes are among the animals that are faster than Usain Bolt, who is currently the fastest person in the world, according to Craig Sharp of the Center for Sports Medicine and Human Performance at Brunel University in London.

The fastest a human can run is 23.4 miles per hour (mph). A cheetah is nearly twice as fast, at 64 mph, while a pronghorn antelope can run at 55 mph.

An ostrich is the world's fastest running bird at 40 mph, or 59 feet per second. The fastest greyhound has been clocked at 43 mph and the fastest thoroughbred racehorse at 55 mph.

When it comes to strength, an African elephant can lift 661 pounds with its trunk and carry 1,807 pounds. A gorilla can lift 1,984 pounds and a grizzly bear can lift 1,000 pounds.

Humans have various features that make them well-suited for long-distance running, such as long legs, short toes, arched feet and ample fuel storage capacity, Sharp said. But the top marathoners would be hard-pressed to beat camels, which can maintain speeds of 10 mph for more than 18 hours, or the Siberian huskies that set a record in 2011, racing for eight days, 19 hours and 47 minutes, covering 114 miles a day.

In long jumping, a red kangaroo has covered 42 feet, compared with the human record of 29 feet. In high jump, the red kangaroo can leap 10 feet, compared with the human record of 8 feet.

However, no single animal species matches the physical versatility of humans, which is what the Olympic Games are designed to showcase to best effect, Sharp concluded.

The article was published July 28 in the journal Veterinary Record.

Former Penn St players say Freeh report "flawed"

Franco Harris and two other former Penn State football players say the report about Penn State's handling of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal "is highly flawed, and factually insufficient."

Harris, Rudy Glocker and Christian Marrone sent to other Penn State alumni an email and letter criticizing the Freeh report that they plan publish in The Wall Street Journal and other large publications.

The email and letter were obtained by The Associated Press on Friday.

The email says there was a rush to judgment by the media, the board of trustees, university officials and the NCAA after the blistering report was released two weeks ago.

The report accuses school officials, including late coach Joe Paterno, of covering up the abuse to avoid bad publicity.

Exxon restarts California refinery after work: traders

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp has restarted units at its 149,500 barrels-per-day (bpd) refinery in Torrance, California, after finishing planned work, traders said on Thursday.

An Exxon spokeswoman confirmed a regulatory filing late Wednesday that reported planned flaring for Thursday through Saturday at the plant, but did not say whether units that were shut for maintenance had restarted.

A West Coast trader said on Thursday that the refinery was "back up in full operation."

Exxon in early June confirmed that the plant had shut a hydrogen unit and planned to shut a coking unit and hydrotreater for an overhaul.

The Advantage of Being in a Spa Health Club | Lawrence Health Spa

spa health clubMore and more people are becoming unhealthy these days, not only because of their choices of diet and habit but also because of the option to be with a sedentary life. They often forget that there are essential things in life required to be met in order to maintain a fit and disease or illness-free life. Thank goodness then for the existence of spa health club. This is actually one business that is highly popular amongst people of all ages particularly the working age group given the stressful routines they have daily.

What are the advantages of getting yourself into one? For the main part, it is actually for the purpose of promoting wellness in both body and soul that such places exist. Even when it sounds like a place that is rather intimidating, cost-wise, the truth is, whatever price you pay for getting into one, you will very well get the worth after leaving one. A spa health club can be with a vast range of services ultimately aimed at addressing problems related to stress and unhealthy living.

Being in one makes you feel like being in a one-stop shop for pampering and wellness promotion. You can have different types of massages, saunas, beauty treatments and even the benefits offered by a gym. Your usual spa may not have every facilities covering for pampering, wellness and fitness but for a health club and a spa to be rolled into one, this is the place to be.

Most spa health clubs, like ours at Lawrence Health Spa, come with the most modern of facilities in that it is one which caters to the modern needs and demands of busy people. We are merely focused on delivery spa services and are also aimed at giving clients proper fitness through up-to-date workout routines or with the use of their modern exercise and workout equipment. So basically, what would set us apart from the other spas would be that it is conscious about meeting the needs of the client in terms of the technological advancements as well.

Lawrence Health Spa gives you the choice of availing physical fitness and spiritual wellness or both, in the attainment of a healthier life.

Is your business worth financing? | BusinessTrade.org

Approaching a venture capital fund for financing can be tricky choice. Here are six questions that can give you the information you need to make an informed decision.
Venture capitalists (VC) scout around the world looking for entrepreneurs with good business ideas that are likely to succeed. Here are a few things to consider if ever pitching your business idea to a venture capital fund manager.
1. Is it demand driven?
Ask yourself if your business service/product is driven by demand. In other words, will your business idea be able to make money? VC Fund managers only bet their money on businesses that hold a promise of being able to make sales, which translates into big profits.
2. Can your idea succeed in the long term?
Consider whether your business is sustainable for the future. For some sectors, like Information and Communication Technology (ICT), things change very fast.? A mobile or internet innovation may appear to be a lucrative idea, until the product becomes obsolete with the invention of a more advanced application. Venture capitalists are willing to invest in businesses, but before they do, they want to be guaranteed that your business idea will not be outdone by someone else in the next few months.
3. Will it be open for expansion?
Can the idea be replicated in other countries? Fund managers look for businesses that can be scaled across Africa or other parts of the world. With the possibility of increased competition and growing regional integration, venture capitalists say businesses that can be operational in several countries are open to a wider market and promise more profits.
4. Are you a determined entrepreneur?
Venture capitalists look for ambitious and determined entrepreneurs who are passionate about their ideas. Pim de Wit, a representative from Africa Media Venture Fund, explains, ?We prefer working with entrepreneurs who are stubborn enough to defend their business ideas but still open minded enough to listen, learn and incorporate our ideas.?
5. Have you projected its profitability?
Determine how long it will take for your business to become profitable. Remember, venture capitalists really invest to make profits. When pitching, show them how you intend to make a profit, and how you intend to double that profit with their added investment. You need to expressly pitch the appeal to work with you in business.
6. Do you know the future strategy?
Most venture capitalists plan to leave after about five years. When pitching, you need to map out an exit plan. Examine whether you think opportunities might arise through a sale to a big corporation or a sale of shares at the capital markets. Point it out to them that you expect the business idea to be attractive to foreign market too. This offers fund managers the opportunity to plan their future strategy.

Life as a Healthcare CIO: Our Cancer Journey Week 31

Today marks the end of our cancer journey for now, although the followup will be life long. ? In 2012,

*Kathy completed chemotherapy with Adriamycin/Cytoxan and Taxol
*Kathy underwent a lumpectomy of her left breast where the tumor was growing
*Kathy received 33 doses of radiation therapy over 42 days
*We sold our home in Wellesley (it closes today), purchased a farm in Sherborn and moved all our belongings, the contents of Kathy's studio, and her father's belongings to a single location.
*We acquired 8 alpaca, 2 llama (if you count our pregnant guard llama), 12 hens, 1 rooster, and 22 guinea fowl

So now, it's time for a breather. ? The month of August has no travel, no visiting family/friends, and a little less chaos in our lives.

We will use our August 8 anniversary (32 years together, married 28) to reflect on where we've been and where we're going. ? ?We'll celebrate the trajectory of the past year. ? There was good and bad, but we're on a very positive path.

Although Kathy still has numbness in her feet and hands, the rest of her body and her mind is in good shape. ? She's designing our blueberry patch and apple orchard. ? ?She's putting the finishing touches on our barn, paddocks, and fences. ? Her new beginning as a cancer survivor is mirrored with by a new lifestyle for our entire family.

I'm a strong believer in the karmic notion that everything happens for a reason. ? Life is anything but a linear path and you never know what you'll find around the next turn or how one turn will affect another. ?

To me success is not measured in fame or fortune, but in relationships you nuture and the difference you make. ?Our cancer journey has been all about relationships - spouses supporting each other, family supporting family, clinicians supporting patients, my employer supporting its employee, and the broad community (Massachusetts colleagues, ?acquaintances, and fellow cancer patients) offering unconditional optimism. ?

So thank you to everyone who has supported Kathy and me since our diagnosis in December of 2011. ? By all measure, you've made a difference and strengthened every relationship ?while opening new doors for the future. ? We are truly blessed to have you around us. ?We look forward to the day we can invite all of you to our farm for blueberry picking, apple picking and alpaca watching in celebration of surviving cancer.
