I have to say I’m a fan of the Papa John’s commercials. Well, at least the ones that have Peyton Manning in them. When Papa John foregoes Peyton and does the commericals by hmself, they tend to involve the introduction of a set of ingredients that should not occur in nature. And remember, I live in California, where trendy pizza restaurants (don’t ever call them “parlours”) tend to go the “basil and goat cheese” and “artichoke pesto” route. These are salads. No need to get a crust and marinana sauce involved.
Well, Papa John got himself into a spot of bother this week when he announced that this whole anthem business was hurting sales and as a big sponsor of the NFL, he was pissed that the NFL leadership hadn’t taken charge of this situation last year when it first started. Which prompted Judd Legum of Think Progress to immediately tweet that Papa John is a – you guessed it – RAAAAACIST! Never mind that John Schnatter NEVER once mentioned black athletes. Which of course immediately prompted all the good little liberals to jump on the bandwagon attacking his character AND his product. Look I’m a Round Table or Mountain Mike’s girl myself, and always the pepperoni or the combo. But to disparage him and tell people that Little Ceasar’s is the better pizza? Okay, your mileage may vary but Jeez – LITTLE CEASAR’S? Why not just direct them to Cici’s Buffet, where you can enjoy pizza that has been sitting under the hot lights so long that it’s now become an archeological find.
And frankly, libs, most of the country AGREES with Schnatter – maybe not on what should go on a pizza but certainly on that “other thing.”

Congratulations to the Houston Astros, the World Series winners! Love it when the series takes it to 7 games (I imagine the networks are probably pretty happy about it, too!)
NASCAR is back in Texas for its third-to-last race of the season. Always a good race in Texas, but that’s not surprising because it’s TEXAS!!! Martin Truex maintains a 17 point lead in the points race, but the previously much hated Kyle Busch is closing in. Marriage and fatherhood have been good for Rowdy, who had once held the honor of the driver everyone loved to hate. Truex has never won the championship, so he’s my guy to hoist the trophy.
In the NHL, it’s still a local listing situation.
Redwings @ Oilers
Avalanche @ Islanders
Canadiens @ Blackhawks
Devils @ Flames
In the PGA, the final day round of the Shriners Hospital for Children Open from Las Vegas. Good cause, great golf. It’s a win-win.
In the NBA, looks like the Golden State Warfarts are starting the season rather poorly. That’s what you get for dissing the President and the White House, jerkoffs. And that’s as much as I care about the NBA.
And as always, this is your Sunday open thread to discuss the news the Democrats have tried to keep buried by releasing it on Friday night and over the weekend. And watch the leaves turn and plan your Thanksgiving menu (it’s never too early to start!).
There are so many great local joints in and around my area I rarely mess around with a national chain.
If I do it’s out of convenience and extreme hunger.

Agreed. Some of the best tasting pizzas I’ve had have been from local Mom-&-Pop restaurants. For example: http://www.sirgs.com/ and http://gobuylocal.com/offerseo/River-Falls-WI/Luigi%27s-Pizza/3993/1119

Schatter also got ridiculed by various talking heads on MSNBS and several others. They said that there has been “no impact” on attendance due to the protests and his business loss was “entirely his fault”.

@ eaglesoars:
It’s suddenly ‘unhealthy’ to be a Saudi Prince it seems. Still they have plenty of ‘spares’. Almost 3200 of them!
The House of Saud has been living on borrowed time for at least 50 years by paying the Arab version of ‘Danegeld’ to the resident ‘Wahabbist head hackers’ and it’s all getting a bit ‘old’!
That and the reality that the House of Saud has totally failed to make the transition from a traditional Arabist society to a technical industrialised one while their oil money held out. Ironically it was the House of Saud’s policy of spending their fresh ‘historical water’ reserves in a spendthrift manner that totally scuppered their efforts to industrialise what is a tribal society. Frankly moving from tribalism to industrialised technology is a massive ask in itself without the total mismanagement of what water they had.
The fresh water mountain cisterns hold water that is about 400 years old. It takes 350-400 years for these cisterns to fill from empty. There are only 23% left and they will be dry in a decade at the current rate of usage. That doesn’t mean that the Saudi population will have nothing to drink as desalination will cover that. BUT it means that Saudi industry is ‘still born’ as there just isn’t the water available to industry no matter how much oil $$$ are now thrown at the problem.
New base load Energy Technology not to mention electric vehicle technologies are advancing at a rate now that will put a serious dent in oil demand, forcing prices even lower just as the Saudis need a LOT of money to industrialise only to find that their main source of fresh water for industry is dry.
Eat their sand and drink their oil……. indeed!

They also have some MANPADS that can make mincemeat of slow moving helicopters, especially ones that have questionable anti-infrared missile self protection suites. Because these bozos were following the border closely (you can even see the border road and power lines from the helicopter window) and REPEATEDLY over several days. All the al Houthis had to do is lay in ambush and await the return of the low level flying helicopter and shoot it down with a MANPAD. The morons who didn’t do their jobs by varying the flight paths and ensuring that there was a jamming/ IR self protection suite aboard should be asked some serious questions.
Still given the hot-house of intrigue, that is the Saudi Royal Court this could even be a ‘home goal’ attack by a rival prince. Who knows.

Devin Patrick Kelley has been identified as the gunman who killed at least 24 people at a church in Texas, a U.S. official tells The Daily Beast. Kelley, 26, was a resident of New Braunfels, a suburb of San Antonio, according to public records. Kelley was married and Kelley’s mother-in-law listed a P.O. box in Sutherland Springs as a mailing address. San Antonio police reportedly raided Kelley’s home on Sunday evening. A LinkedIn account appearing to belong to Kelley describes him as serving in the U.S. Air Force from his 2009 high-school graduation until 2013, after which he briefly taught at a summer Bible school. On a now-deleted Facebook account, Kelley recently displayed an AR-15 style gun, ABC News reports.

That one’s a little trickier. A BCD, in and of itself, doesn’t disqualify someone from owning a gun. Neither does a conviction under Article 128 of the UCMJ (Assault). In his case, it was actually domestic violence, which does disqualify him, but if it wasn’t entered correctly into the system, it wouldn’t have been picked up by NICS. The reason his conviction was for assault is that there isn’t a specific UCMJ article for domestic violence.

He’s beyond awful. If the left had decided to PLANT someone in the Commissioner’s office to destroy the NFL, they could not have done better than him.

Saudi Arabia said on Monday that Lebanon had declared war against it because of attacks against the Kingdom by the Lebanese Shi’ite group Hezbollah.
Saudi Gulf affairs minister Thamer al-Sabhan told Al-Arabiya TV that Saad al-Hariri, who announced his resignation as Lebanon’s prime minister on Saturday, had been told that acts of “aggression” by Hezbollah “were considered acts of a declaration of war against Saudi Arabia by Lebanon and by the Lebanese Party of the Devil.”

yep. Saudi is blaming the missile attacks on Iran. I think the Lebanese PM that resigned last week was forced to do so by SA, he was there at the time and is still there, probably against his will. This is going to be SA & Israel VS Iran

…. with plenty of justification as well. Iran has been increasingly supporting the Shi’a aligned sect that underpins the al Houthi for years. There has been an uptick in that support over the last year as the al Houthi have fought the Saudi backed government of Yemen forces to a standstill. Neither the al Houthi nor the Yemeni government forces are strong enough, even with their various backers, to achieve a decisive victory. The over stretch of al Houthi forces in and around the major southern port city of Aden made that quite clear. Once the battle lines moved back towards the fertile mountains in the NW, the al Houthi homeland, the al Houthi lines of communications shortened as the Yemeni government forces extended and we now have stalemate once more. The front lines roughly trace the original tribal , political and religious boundaries of the old states of North Yemen and South Yemen, with the current capital of Saana right on the frontlines. Saana never was the capital of South Yemen. That was always Aden, and Saana wasn’t the capital historically of North Yemen either as that was located deep in the NW mountains. Saana was just the largest commercial city in the country.

That’s correct and the double garage, joining workshop, office and small kitchen are almost as large as the house footprint. Going to upgrade that as an overflow sleep-out for junior ankle-biters as well as upgrading the workshop / double garage area. It also gives a chance of renting it out to pay for the rates and utilities. The group of houses in the bay do have a shared water supply from a spring so water costs just $80 a year each in a maintenance fund. Thinking of getting off-grid as well as $20 k gets you totally off grid down under now. The garden is hardly capable of providing but we can play with hydroponics as we have unlimited water so that is a possibility.
In the aerial shot of the total property and surrounding homes there is a house with a white roof almost directly behind our property with return varandahs and a pitched roof line with embedded in roof accommodation upstairs and a deck. It is at 45 degrees to the orientation. That is the type of overall roofline upgrade that I’m contemplating. Time will tell.
I’d really like a section op North at Tutukaka on the East coast just south of the town that runs up against the rocks separating XXX Island. Enough room to feed ourselves well and totally off grid but within spitting distance of all amenities and good restruants in Tutukaka itself at the large marina. Now THAT is a great site. The Poor Knights Marine Reserve (One of the top 10 dive site in the world) is just 17 Km off the coast. You have to beat the fish away from your boat when fishing just outside the Reserve.
🙂
Actually at the Knights when trying to do underwater photography you ACTUALLY have to push 3 Kg sized Snapper out of the way to get a good shot! Seriously !
Still the Firth of Thames is also one of the best fishing spots i the country as the mussel and oyster farms attract huge numbers of fish and the marine farmers love boats mooring by their lines to catch the fish that are also harvesting their open water farmed seafood.

Better break out the .308 and oil it up! His place is over run with pheasants as well and we might volunteer to do a little judicious ‘culling’
His resident flock of magpies are however just too dame smart for me. Believe you I’ve tried to get the drop on them.

It’s Melbourne Cup Day with warm fine partly cloudy conditions and a fast track.
The Melbourne Cup : The horse race that STOPS two nations. Literally. Traffic stops and folks listen and watch the race. Flemington Racecourse is packed with the socialites in their finery and offices run ‘sweeps’ where you randomly draw a horse after putting in your $5-10 bucks into the Pot. Even school kids covertly run sweeps at schools even though the teachers officially object it is with a wink and a nod!
Melbourne and indeed the State of Victoria has an official holiday for Cup Day. 24 runners down to 23 with ‘Who-ShottheBarman (NZ) scratched. Lots of Irish and Continental horses running the 2 miles. Kiwi horse Humidor is the current equal favourite paying $9.50 , with the German horse Almandin and the Brit pony Marmelo.
Still it’s the Melbourne Cup and ANYTHING can happen and often does.
Folks who never bet always have a wee flutter with a couple of bucks on Melbourne Cup Day. This is a race that actually Stops Two Nations in their tracks for a few minutes.
It’s Melbourne Cup Day ‘down under’ . Summer can’t be far away!

I’m betting that the 4 year old Brit stallion Rekindling will take some beating. He may be a bit young but he’ll be in the money with a place at least!

There is an Irish horse in the race at Flemington today named ‘U.S. Army Ranger’ a 5 year old stallion, but that as close to the US we get I’m afraid !
🙂
The Irish are grossly over represented however with 8 horses out of the field of 23. The Brits have 5 runners and the French have 2 , Germans have 1 and the Kiwis fields 2 but one was scratched and the Aussies have 4 stayers running. The Irish are going for volume and hoping that statistics are on their side. Actually Irish stayers are extremely high quality and all deserve to be in a Class One Race

Reading a guy on twitter Imperator_Rex3 who explains how/why Canada had to be an integral part of the Uranium One deal. There is no Canadian law requiring charities to keep a list of donors. There is a Canadian charity ‘CGEP’ tiru to the Clinton Foundation. The only item that would show on the CF’s books would be the CGEP charity, w/no visibility to the uranium company. It’s an interesting read, and if this guy is right, the trial will indeed, as he says, like Nuremberg.

CIA Director Met Advocate of Disputed DNC Hack Theory — at Trump’s Request
CIA Director Mike Pompeo met late last month with a former U.S. intelligence official who has become an advocate for a disputed theory that the theft of the Democratic National Committee’s emails during the 2016 presidential campaign was an inside job, rather than a hack by Russian intelligence.
Pompeo met on October 24 with William Binney, a former National Security Agency official-turned-whistleblower who co-authored an analysis published by a group of former intelligence officials that challenges the U.S. intelligence community’s official assessment that Russian intelligence was behind last year’s theft of data from DNC computers. Binney and the other former officials argue that the DNC data was “leaked,” not hacked, “by a person with physical access” to the DNC’s computer system.
A bit of background. Binney is an NSA whistleblower who was featured in the PBS doc “The United States of Secrets” which was a thread here. The reason Binney et. al. insist there was no hack is because the transmission rate of data transfer was too fast to have taken place over the net – it was from a drive. That means it was an inside job.
Oh, and just a random item of interest – word is Donna Brazile dedicated her book to Seth Rich. Haven’t confirmed.

MUSICIAN ALERT!!!
A Hard Day’s Night: Solving a Beatles mystery with mathematics
It’s probably the most recognisable sound in popular music.
“This is the one chord that everyone around the world knows,” says Randy Bachman, a rock star in his own right from The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive.
It dates to July 1964 — the height of Beatlemania. The band was about to release its third album.
For the first time, it was all original music. Plus, the Beatles were shifting away from their rock ‘n’ roll roots to a more poppy sound, and this album was to be the soundtrack for their first feature film.
They needed to make a statement.
After a lot of experimentation, the band come up with a wondrous, jangling cacophony of sound: the opening chord to the song, album, and film A Hard Day’s Night….for decades, no-one could figure out exactly how those two seconds of music were made.

The Clinton Campaign now owns this lock, stock and barrel. Robby Mook has taken the fall and he didn’t scratch his butt w/o hillary knowing about it.
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said Friday that he instructed the campaign’s legal team to conduct the opposition research that led to the infamous anti-Trump dossier.
In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Mook also suggested that he and others on the campaign were briefed on some of the findings in the dossier, which was compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele.
Mook did say that he was not aware that Steele was involved in the opposition research.

Well, it’s not on the internet. Unless the radio was playing back his comments on the Soldier deaths in Niger, but I don’t understand why they would do that. (He also blamed the sequester for those deaths). I know what I heard, and I wasn’t on talk radio. It was around 1045 this morning.
To paraphrase what I heard. He said the sequester was to blame for the Air Force messing up because they did not have the money for adequate training. He then said that all of congress shares the blame for the sequester.
That’s what I remember through my horrible memory on a stressful day.

Well, not appeal. We have a rather interesting way of getting around it. We call it a “Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict” (Motion JNOV). It basically says “Judge, you gotta step in here – these asshats were too dumb to get it right.”
Unfortunately it only works in CIVIL cases. In criminal cases, jeopardy attaches. Unless there are some state charges that can be brought against Menendez, if they acquit, he skates.
However, I have not heard the extent of counts against him (how many total) and the charge to the jury. If, for instance, he had 19 or 20 counts, the jury has to consider EACH count and render a verdict separately. It can be a frigging nightmare.

He needs to retire. I really believe he thought he was going to end his career as Secretary of Defense for the Beast, where he would have “gracefully” (cough-hack) resigned after a year or 18 months “for health reason” but where he could also have gotten massive amounts of input from a plethora of advisors and staff and sent a spokesperson out. Sure he ran for re-election but I think up until 9:00 on election night he didn’t believe he was going to have to actually serve another term in the Senate. Plus he would play “power broker” in the appointment of his so-called successor to serve (I don’t know Arizona’s laws on special elections).
I also believe that he knew at the time of the election that his health was seriously failing and did not reveal it to the voters. Yes, the announcement was last July but I’m not buying it. Like I said, he was planning to “leave” office as a cabinet member for Beastie so a reveal after about a year or so would garner sympathy and he’d leave public service “on top”.
Well, McLame, life is what happens while you’re making other plans.

You’d really hate my job. When we get these people, we have to figure out how to interpret their J&S (judgment and sentence) into actual “how long does this guy have to stay in prison.”
It’s really fun when they have 17 counts, some of which are classified as SVO (serious violent offenses) and some are not. And then the genius judge gets creative and decides Counts 1, 6, and 12 will run consecutively, and 2 through 5 will be consecutive to each other but concurrent to count 1. And then decides to suspend all but 4 years.

We laughed our asses off one day when the plaintiff’s lawyer, who had five peremptories, used them up booting five of the initially seated 12 who didn’t have a lot of faith in chiropractors as the sole medical testimony. Well, he was stuck because afterward, more jurors were seated that said they would never use a chiropractor. He tried to excuse them for cause and the judge said “No, I see no cause in this.” So we literally had more than half the jury not believing in chiropractors. Needless to say, we won.
