A Late Entry: Yellin in Place of Rambo with the QE Bazooka...
She is very photogenic, and will look great in the history books, sipping from a poisoned challace - thanks Benny!

Well, I did what I said I was going to do on caucus night. I am pretty sure that no other ZeroHedger has ever been an officer of the GOP and DFL at the same time. I am not even sure if it is legal. I do not even know of anyone who has ever pulled this off before but it just happened a couple of hours ago.
I brought my nine year old daughter with this time. She had asked me what a caucus was so I told her we would go if she wanted to. I consulted with various folks including WB7 regarding the situation. Basically, you show up, run a meeting, elect delegates, straw poll, approve resolutions for the next politico bitchfest and adjourn. It should not be that hard to figure out but I guess it is. By state statute all caucuses in Minnesota must start at 7:00 P.M. but that did not happen. At 7:15 P.M. someone finally suggested that someone should do something because there was no meeting going on. I have actually run an entire caucus as precint caucus coordinator but you have to remember that I did it for the GOP.
For crying out loud everyone hates me except when it comes to this kind of stuff. Remember, I am a Ron Paul guy just sitting in the back of the room with his nine year old daughter trying to give her a civics lesson because she asked me to do so. Eventually, people started complaining but no one was doing anything about it. I saw this exact same thing in 2008, 2010 and 2012 at the GOP caucuses.
I thought about leaving but my daughter was being patient so I told her, "Just stay here while I go find out what is going on." Up and down the halls I had to go but I finally found the packet of information that we needed to conduct the meeting. I brought the packet back to our room and asked who wanted to convene the caucus. Blank stares. I had a good idea where this was going. I was going to have to run this caucus. I stated to the assembled that I have been involved in the last three election cycles and that I think it is someone else's turn to do this. More blank stares. My daughter sat still as I had instructed her to do.
Shortly therafter I was elected as the chair for the caucus whether I wanted to be or not and I did not want to be. I had to open the packet and quickly try to scramble through the script. That script is a disaster if I ever saw one. I had to read some scripted bullshit in front of other people that would make most of you puke. None of the attendees were excited either. I ran the meeting properly at least.
I did not see any marked difference between the two parties. That was the point I wanted to make anyway.
Thank you all for your kind words of support and for your suggestions. I just had to do it despite my trepidation. Now I can say that I have seen both sides. William now has photos proving my involvement to prove that you I am not lying about this. Sure, I could have walked off with all of the paperwork and denied the DFL some delegates. I could have really done some damage. I chose not to because that is not the liberatarian way for one and second I really did not think these people were that bad even though they support Obama. I believe they are severely misinformed however. I thought they should read a bit more.
I figured that I would be pilloried but I have received a lot of positive feedback from some MNGOP friends. Someone asked me, "Wasn't that illegal though?". I am pretty sure it is. So I can't change parties if I want to? What the fuck? Why not? I broke a lot of rules but I wanted to prove a point and that point is now proven.
I do not feel that great about this. I knew I could win if I wanted to, and did, but I have not won anything politically. I know how this game works if I were to continue on. Mrs. M thinks I should continue. I do not know if I want to though. How do you tell them to stop this shitshow? Am I supposed to ask them who funds their party and go through that shit again? Jebus, you can't even run your own fucking caucus and need a Pauler to do it for you. What the fuck?
i find myself in league with Mrs. M...keep on keepin on. if they try and charge you with anything petty, it will serve only to bolster your cause, and (bonus) you can make a mockery of their inanity.
"I ran the meeting properly at least."
"but I have not won anything politically. "
You may not have won anything politically but you taught your daughter that regardless of party or ideology if something needs to be done then by God do it. Do the right thing and if your gonna do the right thing, do it "properly".
Slap the name of whatever political party you want on your forehead, I'll vote for you. THough it appears you are already a winner!
Thank you akarc.
You would have been more helpful to your daughter and yourself if you took her to a single lobbyist's meeting anywhere.
To take a child and inculcate her in the vagaries of a now defunct republican democracy, was a total waste of time.
If would be one thing if the vote wasn't subsumed by a few lobbyists, paying off politicians at all levels to swing things the way their patrons want, but that hasn't been the case for 50 years or more.
She should be taught that vocal minorities with deep pocket financiers are the real power in this country. The Tyranny of the Minority is now what we have, a plutocracy, run by oligarchs at the top who are owned by a few billionaires.
THAT"s what she needs to know.
His daughter wanted to learn something and he respected her request. He willingly exposed his daughter to a view point that may not necessarily be his own. It would appear he is not only teaching his daughter civic duty but teaching her to learn by exposing her to diffeent view points which may instill in her a desire to ask questions that one day she herself may find a new answer for. What she needs to know is how to learn. That is not
"a total waste of time."
It was time well spent.

Manipfulation,
i loved the story. someday maybe i'll tell the tale of my epic visit to minnesota's richly enticing boundary waters...got to see dylan's hometown, the big lumber jack, ate lots of blueberry pancakes, scarred the whole state indelibly, traumatized numberless hosts of your wonderful, peaceable and gentle-natured citizens; and for all my efforts i believe i left the place in better shape than that in which i found it.
i mention all this because i'd like you to pass along my best wishes to the good folk of provincial minnesota, and to also encourage them in thanking whatever norse corn-god they worship...thanking him that it wasn't janus what happened to stumble into possession of that caucus play-book.
you see, i have a way of improvising when it comes to the stipulations codified in things like caucus guides. janus interprets procedure and rules as mere suggestions. as i learned many years ago, when you're holding any official book and reading from it, all authority is by it vested in you...i try and make the most of such situations. and had i in suchwise been able to lord over those proceedings, there would'a been no end to the gossip. old men on frozen lakes would debate the events of that day through endless cans of olde style; women of every age would erupt in fits of caterwauling and frenzied hysterics at the very hint of my name; children would dash into the fields stricken by a vague and formless terror; the stoutest sweede hay-stacker would break down and weep in apoplectic fits of consternation; al fanken would come to comfort the stricken; a state of emergency would be declared; prairie home companion would do a dozen programs on it; cows would leave their barns never to return; havoc would be the order of the day.
seriously, though, i've gotta make a return trip someday; wild-caught walleye is a most toothsome treat; and once you get a taste for it, the remote north woods won't stop callin. there's that, and, well, the rosy-cheeked lutheran chics with their positive attitudes and indefatigable enthusiasm.

I take it that the 800 pound gorilla that has poor Janet is the impending global financial collapse.
Get any pictures?
WildBill,

Yes, a couple off our old Samsung. Perhaps tomorrow. Mrs M would not let us take the IPad2 or Nikon that I BOUGHT so no video. She thought that I would lose and did not want to risk damage to her precious Ipad and camera. I decided that I was not going to argue.
I would hate for you to be late as you look so great while you skate to your date with your fate.
But what I want to know is how William did a still life of my desk (check the one with the Wilbur Smith volume...)? I guess there's an invisible tien to everything.
Much appreciated work, Hon. Bonz.
To make this old banker appear to have some resemblance to a babe is a true testament to your photoshopping skills Banz.
I'd like to see that big foot fuck that bitch in the ass. Hell I might even jack off to it.
Rosie Scenario seems to be on thin ice ;-)
It was in the '40s for the blowout. Been colder since. She's a hefty thang, slice on the ice like that raises all kindz of stress rizers and the ice can crack, just like an overblown market.
Ben is smilin' through his beard, since he has sanitized his transition to Mr. Yellin. And she is in hog-heaven with the reigns of power.

"It was in the '40s for the blowout."
Damn son, anything below 70 is cold for this cracka ;-)
"Ben is smilin' through his beard, since he has sanitized his transition to Mr. Yellin."
Saw that "transition" to the Brookings Institute, a "centrist" think tank...I puked a little bit in my mouth reading that Reuters story...lol.
Now here's some news we can all use:
"Google, for instance, has seen the number of people affected by FISA court orders rise from 2,000 to 2,999 users during the first half of 2009 to between 9,000 and 9,999 users during the first half of last year. The company showed an unusual spike in the number of Americans whose data was collected between July and December 2012. During that period, metadata was collected from between 12,000 and 12,999 users. Under the restrictions imposed by the government, no explanation was provided for that anomaly."
Huh. Wonder what coulda been goin on around that time period? Probably just some "rogue NSA agents" running amok alongside the IRS agents in CinCi, clearly nothing to see there, I mean really, pure coincidence!
"Yahoo listed the highest number of people swept up in FISA requests for online content during the first half of last year. The orders seeking user content spanned 30,000 to 30,999 accounts, according to the company. The requested content could have included emails, instant messages, address books, calendar items and pictures.
All the companies also received FISA requests that weren’t aimed at scooping up online communications or photos. Those demands sought things such as billing information and locations of where people made an Internet connection.
Well thats kinda weird, I went to Yahoo for a couple accounts around the same time, although I don't hit coffee shops strictly to screw around with BitCoin ;-)

Funny, I didn't nap in civics or history classes, but I don't remember learning about any secret courts, hidden and unaccountable.
I must have grown up in a very different country.
kaiserhoff,
i can't remember if it was you or wisenhiney that asked whether some zaniness i posted several days back was based outta winzell's oyster house...in case it was you, i wanted to get back with you and confirm that, yes, it was indeed winzell's.
i should've just told the real story; as it was even crazier than the bullshit. this was lo about the time of hurricane ivan, and all the gulf coast was a cacouphanous hive of chainsaws and other sundry debris clearing equipment. and when rough-neck-type work is to be done over a long period of time, undesirables and low-lifes come pouring in from every direction. i have a way of bonding with rough-necks and misfits of any fathomable sort. and so it came to pass that janus visited mobile on business and did there come face to face with just such a hell-raising-misfit one humid late summer's eve...and we did duly bond at the bar.
i admit, it was poor -- frightfully poor -- charecter judgement on my part; but i had way too many beers at winzell's to be held in any way responsible for all decisions made and actions taken after leaving the bar. naturally, a trip to the strip club with the shady charecter i met at winzell's was the logical next stop. the fun didn't last long, and we didn't get any of the special treatment he promised; instead, a profanity-laced confrontation ensued. he thought he was dating one of the strippers; but she charecterized the relationship in a totally differnet fashion. long story shorty, our sudden departure immediately followed. we're then stealthily surrounded by cop cars. cops draw down on us.
i ask permission to leave shady' dude's camero (no shit, it was in fact a camero); i tell 5-0 that shady dude has a 9mm semi in his center console (dude showed it off to janus when we got to the strip club); officers knew readily they were dealing with a Good American; i write statement; find out dude has a restraining order; cops and janus shuck and jive and, in general, yuk it up; i tell officer thomas of my perdicament; he gives me his card and permission to drive all the way back to montgomery (knowing i was still a bit over the limit; even so, it was clear to all they were dealing with a Good American deserving the benefit of the doubt and whatnot)...i make the 3+ hour drive north in my company car, with the radio up, a great story to tell and a get out of DUI free card in my back pocket.
officer thomas, janus owes ya big time (i still have your card, btw...and i still have that polariod you snapped and gave me as momento (you know which one i'm talkin about, officer thomas))
the moral of this story is: yes, strippers do make credible witnesses; and they sure do know how to pose with Good Americans in cameo polaroids next to red cameros, sending them back to mongomery in style!
thank you, Officer Thomas; tender regards, Tiffany; God Bless America!

a policeman in our jurisdiction went to jail for letting young ladies out of DUI arrests in exchange for a bit of their frillery, or to cop a feel (sorry) the ungrateful wenches they ratted him out, calling him a pervert and such, (but not promising to answer the original charge, or pay back the 10 large that a DUI costs) these were working girls i think, not honorable professional types, (like strippers). the cop is doing twenty now. i joke that if only the constabulary would give me a free ticket when i can't say my alphabet backwards at 2AM beside the road, that he could have my BVDs, and he could even feel my junk if that turned him on. A DUI is a real drag. now Obama wants cars to talk to each other, right. hey my driver is shitfaced, how about you? she's talking on her cellphone and she is full of anti-Ds, she hasn't used the turn signal since her sixteenth birthday. they call it progress, but i doubt it. god bless the rough necks.
i have a trick up my sleeve for obama and his car-talking mendacity...i'm gonna program mine to talk like boomhauer from king of the hill. that way no other car can understand a word he says...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIaUfBjHjpI
btw, if the cop was a good guy and well-liked, i'd lay odds that those sorry sluts had one or two run-ins with local over the enusing years. there is nothing in this world worse than a whore that refuses to recognize her role as a whore.

Great Story Janus, thanks.
"Fay Wray" Eat your heart out!
I almost destroyed my keyboard with a cup of coffee when I saw the last one on this list!
As per your usual you've outdone yourself again.
Kinda off topic, but something here reminded me of Hillary, which in turn reminded what I saw this morning on CNN.
Dec. 2013 - poll of registered voters 48% Christie, 46% Hillary
Feb. 2014 - poll of registered voters 55% Hillary, 39% Christie.
MSM, well done, mission accomplished.
And, 70% choice amongst dems polled. The front runner now for republicans is Huckabee????? WTF
Oh well, not like voting actually matters anyways.
<= CNN is bullshit propaganda. Die Hilary. Die Christie. Laces out, Barry.
<= All federal government employees, all governors, all lawyers, all appointed judges and all 'soft science' professors in shackles on a chain gang in China.
Vote Democrat or vote Republican, depends on what kind of bread you want with that turd sandwich.
The Republicrats may very well have had their last POTUS with Bush II.
And yes, voting only keeps the sheeple in the corral bleating at each other.
Rand Paul will be the next president. His deception and political antics have already begun (did you catch is drone spiel?) Christie was moved out of the way on behalf of Rand, the next droner-in-chief.
EscapingProgress, Rand Paul sings about drones in this musical by the Flying Robots...
"Buy a Shotgun Song and Video by Flying Robots with Joe Biden"...Also featuring Rand Paul...Other drone music "I HAVE A DRONE - Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney [RAP NEWS 16]"Couldn't be more wrong. The media serves the left. They built Christie up as the new McCain-Romney, so they could crush him when he's running against Hillary. Bridgegate blew him up 2 1/2 years too early. The media will be on the hunt for the next Christie/McCain/Romney to build up. Rand Paul isn't that guy.
when he turned on his father mid-election to support Romney I suspect that was a sign of his willingness to obey.
I agree with you both.
Big money has purchased Rand and he's sealed the deal and the Pentagram (the six sided one) with his visits to the land of the "chosen".
He's the exact opposite of his father.
Let that comment sink in and speak for itself!
US debt held by the Federal Reserve since 1940
Make your own conclusions
http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/02/us-debt-held-by-federal-reser...
U.S. debt held by the Federal Reserve at a record high since WWII because .gov is at war against its own citizens.
War against it's own citizens?...
I'll believe that comment when our men and women in uniform stand down and refuse to obey their orders when they are tasked to finish off Syria followed almost simultaneously with an attack on China.
My guess is our leaders will be stupid enough to start something over the Senkaku dispute.
Proof I guess that small minds can still have big ambitions especially psychotic ones that may get everyone killed!
Not all of them. The billionaires are just fine with it, as are the top 10%.
"But what about our contributions?"
Janet and Moochelle holding hands.
How very gay.
She has such strong shoulders and lovely arms
Everyone comments on her arms, because all of the pics of her are photo shopped.
In real life, her knuckles drag the ground.
That's Mr. Yellin, right?????
Not tonight Chewie, I have a headache.
these both bear repeating ;-)
