I know one tracker action pipe organ manufacturer that must have a serious case of the heebie-jeebies right now if their stash of exotics is even remotely as extensive as when last I saw it.
sdferr, if they’ve paid the protection money, they have nothing to worry about.
I suspect these fellows are both too backward and too poor to be paying protection money. Being off the beaten track (ha!) may stand as a sort of protection all its own.
sheesh, I was reading about the raid on Gibson the other day and all the crap the Lacey Act and its interpretation by even just one constipated customs agent can cause someone …
My husband owns a Fender Precision Bass with a rosewood neck, purchased in the 70’s. Must remember never to leave the country with it.
I was just about to send that to you.
Day-um these people don’t even TRY to hide it anymore.
It’s the Chicago Way. Blatantly.
So much red meat. If we had a truly independent Press, Barry’s approval rating would be in single digits and there’d be at least a couple of Dems already announced for 2012.
I really don’t think C.F. Martin is Gibson’s main competitor. Gibson’s main competitors are Fender, Paul Reed Smith and Ibanez. C.F. Martin deals strictly with acoustic instruments while most of Gibson’s business comes from electric guitars.
Gangsta government.
Canada Corner,
I may be mistaken, but the raid on Gibson was about “illegal” exotic woods that are primarily used in acoustic guitars, rather than electrics.
Rosewood is a very common fingerboard material on electric guitars.
Well, OK, my brother is the guitar player/collector in my family.

Spiny,
Even if that was true, and I don’t doubt you, that still doesn’t make C.F. Martin Gibson’s main competitor. Not that is matters to me as I can’t afford anything by either company.
If this raid doesn’t shut Gibson down there will be another until the price of the company is what some heavy Democrat contributor wants to pay for it. Then, after the sale, its problems will cease. In the 90s it was meat packers with recalls shutting them down till they were sold.
From Nice Deb:
Guitars have emissions standards?

Now cut that out!
I don’t even play the guitar, but might go buy a rosewood Gibson just to express my support.

Are we the Land of Liberty or are we fucking communist leeches? That is the question we need to answer for 2012.
Peavey has safety and emissions problems?
We might have to burn the village to save it.
Can Gibson recover damages, or does sovereign immunity preclude that? Baracky don’t give a shit. Ain’t his money.

what you’ve got here again is pure cronyism … government and businesses willing to play the mafiosa-union-protection racket game. Government enforcing what businesses will/will not prosper with “regulation” through lawsuit.

These days, a surprising number of Americans actually make their living by working in leftist activism. When did being a leftist become a career?
when i was a kid
i used to eat popsicle sticks-we all did..
but after eating them tasties.. we’d take the sticks
and it was more excited fun we’d scrape them
fast and furious against the concrete- and make shivs..
did u lil penis breeders? cuz, wuz it a neighborhood thing?
i don’t think so.. we used to have these plants where we could strip off the
branches in one swipe/ to get rid of the branches/ leaves.. and u were left with a ricardo montlbon sword and u were swishy..
but just like young boys..
you got bored..wandered off.. until your mom called you for dinner… and my momma..
with her gibson guitar..in a melifuous voice..
would sing to me / in some native tounge

Probably chasing the wrong path with NORC, nr. NORC basically runs large surveys for anyone who’ll pay them. Had friends work there part-time in college and they’re more likely to ask about household finances or whether or not anyone in your family has experienced a food allergy in the last 12 months.
They’re not some murky part of a conspiracy.
This is public health nonsense all the way. Try this instead.
“Probably chasing the wrong path with NORC, nr.”
gotta pay off the chitown folk all i’m saying.
I hate to encourage newrouter when he’s on a booze-soaked jag – and the cartoon anvil of weather doom is hurtling toward NYC – but I read something the other day about the left’s developing obsession with THIRD HAND SMOKE! That is to say that not only is smoking in other peoples’ vicinity both evil and dangerous, but almost as evil and dangerous is having the smell on your clothing around other people. Stay tuned …
this ozone thing is the reason we have these summer gasoline blends
Putting a NORC/Harvard person on an EPA committee would be an extremely inefficient way to pay off the Chicago peeps.
She lives in Newton, Mass, for instance. She’s Harvard.
Follow the public health angle. That’s the obvious pattern.
smoking gives tax monies to the overlords of America’s dirty socialist whorestate for them to do all kinds of perverted shit with
“I hate to encourage newrouter when he’s on a booze-soaked jag”
silly me pointing out the baracky’s agenda. geez doing “reporting” on the people setting the fed standards on air pollution is almost something you know dan rather or mike wallace or katie couric would do. almost SPEAKING TRUTH to cupcakes. whatever.
“Putting a NORC/Harvard person on an EPA committee would be an extremely inefficient way to pay off the Chicago peeps.”
its all about credentials i think. its a twofer chi and harvard. the proggs like that stuff.

Of course it does.

i saw this story. well i wanted to see how this scam operates. so epa directed me to the members of the committee.
i saw that they’re ne proggs with an environmentally safe ax to grind about how west. civ. is destroying gaya. if we had a real press these clowns would be shown to be the losers that they are. how’s the “hurricane” treating you?
mr. froman one other point is that did you know these moonbats had so much power over the economy? the standard these clowns are shooting for is the background levels. talk about luddites.
I hear ya nr. I wouldn’t blame it on the press though. Regardless of where journalists stand politically, you’re not talking about a profession comprised of the sharpest pencils in the box. Expecting people in the profession which most closely approximates public school teachers – those who can, do, and those who can’t, jounalize, so to speak – to have anything but a surface grasp of science is asking too much. These are, after all, the morons who perpetually run press releases as science, the result of which includes millions of morbidly obese people who can’t figure out why they’re not losing weight by gorging on bran muffins or fat free cookies.
Re: Irene … To tell the truth I’m so cocooned that I haven’t noticed the weather at all. I hear that a violent Jesus-hating, soul-crushing hurricane is coming though. Some annoying as fuck billionaire ass who managed to mess up snow removal in NYC last winter and needs to overcompensate for it keeps telling me this on the TV.
i knew the keenan brothers
you do not know the keenan brothers
i know them keenan brothers
one keenan brother comes over the house to do
keenan work [floors/ carpentry…}
he ask to use the phone..
“may i use the phone?” say keenan brother number one..
so polite.. so nice,,,
“local?” i say../
“natch” he say
SO the point
he [james] dials his brother and says
“i’m over pittsys house and i’m calling you on a rotary phone!”
mr froman,
the reason i have such contempt for this “air pollution” biziness is that i once worked in the field. the folks telling about “horrible things to come” re-lie on an mostly an obscure pollution monitor north of pittsburgh at least in this region. having taken care of the maintenance of said monitor i always wondered what its reading would be moving it to the other side of the building? so the economic effects of these people using faulty data can ruin a nation. i’m glad an india india guy was in charge.
I just stopped in a convenience store with a unisex restroom. Somebody had written on the wall “women are people too, treat us as you would like to be treated.”
Underneath it was written, “If I could suck my own dick I would, so suck my dick.”
I take my philosophy where I can find it.
Depressing. The ability of the professional Left to outmaneuver opposition and secure to it’s service the feeble minds of nearly a majority of the citizens of this nation-Republic of once-proud, strong people is depressing. Were the Leftists in motionview’s Salon link in charge prior to it, we would never have won WWII.
B Moe, that’s deserving of framing. Just for the crassness of the attitude.
This, on the Twitter…
Well, as long as we’re on about wood, there’s half a pine tree in my driveway. Anyone who wants it is welcome to it.
I had wood this morning.
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
Any other property damage, Pablo?
Btw, Bob Reed, check in when you get a chance, okay?
I was watching the news last night and found myself hoping you didn’t suddenly have to drive the missus to the hospital through a bunch of flooded streets.
No, bh. In fact, I just got back from Fort Wetherill, which is about 35 mi from here, and aside from a few trees down, a couple of boats that got tossed and some ocean front roads that washed over, I didn’t see anything noteworthy. I’m kinda feeling a little gypped here. Irene’s right hook didn’t happen.
Glad to hear that, Pablo. Not the gypped part. The lack of death and destruction part.
baby was opposed to be here this many days ago: 4
This seemed more like a bad storm than a hurricane considering all the drama leading up to it. I’d assume that Bob Reed is without power though. Long Island seems to have gotten it it worse than anyone else around here.
Perhaps the hurricane has changed some plans that way or they thought evacuating was a good idea or something.
Wishing you and yours the best, Bob. Hope everything is okay.
Yeah. Last spring was much worse here.

Many states are trying to ban Top-O-Matic rolling machines (I think Arkanas just did) because they are losing too much tax revenue to them.
Cigs in CT are approaching $10 a pack, but cost about $2.50 per to roll your own.
Political oinkers. How dare you even TRY to deny them YOUR money?
