Friday is a full moon.

AND

Friday is also the 13th .

Now, make of it what you will.

There are those who say that the full moon makes no difference in how people behave.

And you might believe that, unless you are a cop, an ambulance driver, a bartender, or work in an emergency room. Then you know that is bullshit.

People get WEIRD in the light of the full moon, at least a subset of them, anyway…A full moon Friday night (or Saturday) makes things fun for the above folks.

Add in a Friday 13th…..

Won’t happen again ’til 2049, I am told. 

That the FDA was gonna ban the aging of cheese on wooden boards (which help with the flavor of the cheese, unlike plastic) despite the fact that cheese has been aged using this method for hundreds of years (the method, not the cheese). After a great deal of crying, likely from influential people who buy and consume artinsanal cheeses, they have backed down...for now

Thing is, aged cheese is not something that makes the FDA happy. Like raw milk, they can see many ways that this could possibly, under JUST the right conditions cause you some small bit of harm….maybe.

Is it really their mandate to make all food perfectly healthy for you to eat all of the time…..and are they really just trying to make all our food bland and tasteless?

Cheese contains a fair amount of bacteria, if it is made and aged the “old world” way. Much like southeren Barbecue, if you are doing it right, you are probably violating some health law. THat doesn’t make it dangerous.

But how many people die(d) from eating cheese that was aged on a wooden shelf? Seriously.

I am sure that you believe that the person controlling your plane’s path, making sure you don’t fly into other airplanes or rock filled clouds is the best person we can hire for the job….Right?

How about if you knew that the FAA was giving preferential treatment to minorities and women, even to the exclusion of the most highly qualified candidates in order to meet gender and racial profiles/quotas?

It is true. ..They are, in the interest of Diversity, excluding the most qualified candidates if they are white, and lowering the standards for women, blacks and Hispanics.

One would almost think that the standards were a joke. Seems that having a college degree is a “barrier” to black folks. And to Women. But not to white men. All to promote diversity.

Makes me feel safe to fly…

Diversity. And racism. Blatant racism.

The conditions can’t be too severe nor can they be too hungry….

Seems that they are not enamored of the food being served, so they are throwing most of it in the trash.

Could be that it is because the food meets Michelle Obama’s food guidlines, but it might be because they just aren’t that hungry.

These “Kids” (no one knows how old they actually are, do we? 12? 15? 17? ) know where their parents are,  and could be returned there, but the Obama Administration would rather use them as a demonstration of how we need “Immigration Reform”

I still think Obama is using this in order to break the country via the Cloward-Piven strategy. Overload the government and break it.

While my luck was still running high

As near a miss as you’ll ever get.

Real data , not pie in the sky models that fail even the most basic tests…

You don’t read Borepatch (and you should, every day)

You should read THIS ONE.

You should be asking everyone you meet:

Why are we spending BILLIONS and enacting programs and policies that cost Billions (or even trillions) more yearly to combat a unproven and increasingly failed hypothesis?

Preventing something that isn’t happening at the cost of a lot of money and even more peoples jobs and quality of life?

Why are we allowing these Global Warming believers to continue to direct our lives, policies and economies to their benefit at the expense of ours?

Just FYI:

If you are going to have a business that sells things…and you offer custom work…., and you have a “contact me” form on your web page for questions or inquiries…..Especially when you worked the blogging folks at the Indy NRA show to demonstrate and show off your products and drum up business….

Then fucking well answer the inquiry in a timely manner….like say, a week or so.

Or the person doing the inquiring will go to another aspiring holster manufacturer who is also trying to make a living.

all cops thought this way.

Sadly, they don’t. Even more sadly, they don’t see a need.

and even more sadly, many never will.

And until they do, they’ll never be seen as the “Good Guys” again, and will be seen as enemies of citizens rather than the guardians of peaceful society.
