Hi.

In Orlando on business today. Noticed a lot of Quebec license plates headed north. I can only determine that the Quebecois are actually lizardpeople and were unhappy with the recent weather. And it’s going to be 32 degrees tonight in Orlando.

I’m fine with the Quebecois invasion of South Florida every winter for two reasons:

Boob fact: Etymology of the word boob is a 1950’s shortening of “booby”, which itself in the 1930’s came from “bubby”. “Bubby” likely derives from the German “Bübbi” which means ‘teat’.

How dare Greenwald point out the obvious fact that all the people screaming “literally Hitler” have literally rubber stamped unprecedented executive authority
And the same people crying about how Trump attacks the media didn’t give a shit when the Obama administration tried to prosecute James Rosen?
The Left loves Executive misuse when it achieves their ends. Seriously, debate any of them about Obama’s overreaches and they will sputter for a while but suddenly admit that perhaps, you do indeed have to break some eggs to make an omelet.
I don’t like Greenwald, but I respect him.
Greenwald has bad domestic politics (you can’t quite figure out that expanding government always has negative repercussions), but he is spot on in terms of foreign policy and civil liberties. He’s an old fashioned liberal
I think he’s wrong about quite a few things, but I believe he’s honest, something I believe about very few journalists.
He lost my respect after he endorsed Manning for senate.
Didn’t see that……well, that was pretty damned stupid then.
I would wager that some other people that you respect will soon become vocal defenders of Manning. People make bad political choices. I don’t think one action thoroughly discredits everything they believe in
It is Maryland, xe could be running against literally Hitler.
I seriously don’t see why Manning would be any worse than any of the other rotting corpses currently occupying the upper chamber.

I think its very brilliant how you simultaneously argue that theres no evidence of Russian collusion or interference in our elections, while arguing against the only methods that can gather that evidence. you’re information war against the u.s. intel community is so clever 🙂

So the only way to see if the Russians are spying on the US is for the US to spy on the US?
I don’t get it.
This is an example of their whimsical five-dimensional critical thinking skills.
“New think tank at Duke focused on ‘sexism, homophobia, gender bias and violence’
The Women’s Center and student government at Duke University have collaborated to introduce a gender-centric think tank on campus, one “committed to fostering an inclusive Duke experience for all students.”
The organization, titled “Think Gender,” provides “a space for respectful dialogue about gender equity,” according to the Student Affairs website. It is billed as being “focused on programs and initiatives of three key areas: Women, Men, LGBTQ+.”
Reached for comment via email, Duke Women’s Center spokeswoman Bibi Gnagno told The College Fix that the organization is also working to “illuminate the interrelationship of sexism, homophobia, gender bias and violence, advocate on behalf of survivors of gender based discrimination, and be a portal of campus and community resources for Duke’s LGBT community, women, and other intersections of identity (race, class, ability, etc.).””

Great moments in ‘shit hole’ history. The uniqueness of the Haitian Revolution is underappreciated. Damn, Frenchies
Well, it does remain the most successful slave revolt in recorded history. Not even Spartacus managed to found a nation.
So what you’re saying is – it’s a bad idea for slaves to revolt and they should wait for abolition instead?
In what way could you gather that from what HM said?
Haiti is not a paradise, but there are multiple reasons why that is. Most are self-induced, no doubt, but their revolt against the French created only the second independent nation in North America. And you are taking the side of the French? You’re in time out. Defending the French is just unacceptable.
Wow, you took that seriously?
Anytime someone defends the French, I get very upset. I’m sorry.
Those damn cheese eating surrender monkeys
Show us on the map where France hurt you, Just Say’n.
76% of French electricity is nuke power.
Other than that, they suck, but that makes up for a lot.
Say what you want but the French won the war of independence for the American colonies.
Nonsense
I’ll defer to Raven, but I believe you’re over-egging the pudding. The Franco-American alliance certainly hastened the end of the war, but by the time the French entered the war, Burgoyne had already surrendered, leaving the northern theater all but won.
My favorite block quilt pattern is called Burgoyne Surrounded.
Yeah, Saratoga caused the British to re-think their strategy. It also led the French into the war which led to a further re-think to make sure they held onto their sugar colonies. The British switched to a “southern strategy” to protect South Carolina (rice) and the Caribbean sugar colonies. And it was mostly Greene’s strategy which exhausted the British southern forces causing them to retreat to Yorktown.
That said, the French fleet performed one of the most decisive actions of the war when they blocked British access at Virginia Capes. And, just having the French in the war forced the British to disperse their forces to fight a European War. So, hard to be sure: likely the US would have won anyway. But, without the French fleet, they get most of their troops out of Yorktown which means no surrender and no further loss of public opinion in Britain as had happened after Saratoga.
Where’d you go to School? Russia?
😉
Going by historical record, usually yes. Armed revolt by slaves tends to only work if a.) the slave population vastly outnumbers their masters, and b.) they are isolated from the enslavers’ centers of power (e.g., colonies, frontiers, etc.). Nonviolent revolt, at least in a modern context, seems to work better when you can use the high ground to induce the community of nations to pressure the slavers based on an accepted moral norm.
I can’t remember. But aren’t Haiti and the U.S. the only countries to end slavery with violence and everyone else did it by legislative or monarchical fiat. Or am I missing a few examples.
A lot of places ended slavery because the Royal Navy put the boot to their supply lines.
So, two countries ended it via internal violence.
And there are countries which “Officially” ended it, but don’t bother to enforce that Western idea.
And thought up the worst possible punishment: transportation to Australia.
I’m having a hard time thinking of any other examples.
Russia ended the slavery of capitalism by violence.
Yeh but could they shout…

SPARTACUS!
What about
THIS. IS. SPARTA!
I’d give a nod to Mameluks over them. They had more to work with, but damn if they didn’t work it hard.
Part of the success was due to a Mr. Dessalines who helped ensure that the former slave masters would no longer bother the former slaves.
The Haitian revolution mostly amounted to the French walking off and leaving the place. They were stretched too thin and just abandoned the place.
It is sad really. They simply didn’t have the culture or institutions or knowledge to build a decent nation. They were essentially feral humans with no eduction put out to drift.

That’s why they have the Finns as a buffer. If Russia actually manages to take Finland out, Sweden was fucked either way.

They have universal conscription and a decent domestic munitions production, they should do alright. Sako still makes a good rifle.
Tangential story about The Finns –
I’m hanging out at a small beach cabin thing on a tiny island in Thailand with my wife a couple of years back.
I’m having a yarn with the proprietor, a local Thai fellow who spoke English quite well.
I asked him what he did during the monsoon/hot season, when there are no tourists around, and his little island regularly has the shit kicked out of it by Mother Nature.
‘I go to Finland. During their summer, I am the logistics co-ordinator for 800 other Thai people who go to Finland during every Finn summer, and we spend six to eight weeks picking blueberries.’
So the Finns have to import their own version of Mexicans to pick their blueberry crop for them.
Between that and the vodka, yeah, maybe not looking so good when or if Putin and Co. come calling.
There are a lot of Thai seasonal workers who go to Israel too.
+1 jobs that Finns won’t do
Finland’s ability to wage defensive war against the USSR is one of the most amazing feats of war in modern human history.
It certainly is. My son has been reading about the Finnish defense and now he wants to be a Finn.
Simo Haaya and guerilla warfare on skis = winning.

Why Haiti is poor
No mention of Dessalines I see…or Duvalier. Wonder why?
“this ridiculous debt…some of it borrowed from banks in the United States…”
Those poor Haitians, who would have thought that bankers, US and otherwise, would actually expect people to pay back their voluntarily-contracted loans?
To be fair, at this point, do the Chinese actually expect to get their money back from us?
This, and, “voluntarily contracted”
I’m not sure that when the IMF and other degenerate Banksters come calling, that everything is above board, and not offered under completely lopsided circumstances and conditions.
No, not money, but it’d be fair to say they expect something.
They are not getting America’s Sweetheart, Taylor Swift, in exchange. Not as long as I draw breath.
Will you and OMWC be fighting for her as The Chinese roll in?
Huh. I thought you were America’s sweetheart?
I’m America’s Sweatheart. It’s a common mistake to make.
I say we give them Justin Beiber in a dress and see how long it takes them to notice.
Wait, I’m confused. She is the opposite of thicc and you’re calling her America’s Sweetheart?
HM admits to his un-American ways.
Japan always gets repaid. They have a….*dons sunglasses*……YEN for it
Is it Whitey? It’s Whitey isn’t it?
In Haiti’s defense, France and its allies did threaten to attack the country to collect reparations in retaliation for revolting. And this system led to an institution of tax leeching the populace to pay it back. But the point stands that those reparations , and the interest on the debt borrowed to pay it, ended in 1947. Haiti’s current status as a endemically corrupt state may be partially a result of this extortion, but it is not the whole reason.
Battery light came on this morning. Let’s see if the truck starts tonight.
How old is the vehicle?
Three year old Ram with less than 50k miles.
It did start this afternoon! It’s a work truck so the shop gets it in the morning. If it starts then.
Kinda fresh for a bad alternator. Belt maybe?
Three years is about right for a cheap, stock battery, especially if the battery is in a location where it gets hot.
Does the light come on, though? The last couple times my batteries pukes, I don’t remember it happening.
Yeah, I forgot about the light. Weak belt tensioner?
The light’s working. You’re all set!
Hey thanks! Make the check out to Chipperbot’s Garage?
So, over the weekend I purged the house off all the CFLs and took a big bag of them to the Lowe’s where they have a designated metal bin for CFL recycling. Yeah, the printed instructions showed putting each bulb in a bag, but there was no supply of CFL-putting-in bags so I gayly begin to put the hated, dim, flicker, latent CFLs through the special hopper door in the metal bin of CFL disposal, noting that the inner bin appeared to be already lined with a bag. About halfway through the process customer service woman starts yelling at me about bags. “No bags here,” I reply, “do you have the bags?” At this she gives me a look of disgust and stomps off. I finish my business and buy roughly a hundred dollars worth of LED bulbs to replace both the CFLs and many of the incandescent lamps in Castello Tonio.
I’ve always suspected that a huge proportion of CFLs ended up in landfills where they are leaking mercury. And a not insignificant amount of CFL mercury ended up in storm drains where they might have flown directly into waterways from bulbs that broke in garages and outdoor fixtures. Goddamn hippies.
You’re supposed to pat yourself on the back and not think about it.
I hated those fucking things. The LEDs have been pretty good, though. The light quality is improving a lot.
Anything but Cree. 10 years my ass.
The light quality from LEDs is much, much better than CFLs (though still not close to incandescents). The longevity has been a mixed bag – I’ve had some lasting years now and some others that have long since died.
Incandescants had terrible light profiles. I was confused why one of the lights put out brown light until I checked the bulb and found it was incandescant. The closest I’ve seen an incandescent get to decent light was still a piss-yellow.
Daylight is 5000K. Regular household incandescents generally radiate at about 3200K, halogen incandescents get up to about 3400K; their light output is weighted towards the infra-red part of the spectrum because of the technology. Fluoros of all types are generally 2700K, again as a function of the technology – phosphorus (or whatever) fluoresces at a certain wavelength.
LEDs produce monochromatic light at pretty much any frequency you want. I lamped some ceiling fixtures with 5000K daylight LED lamps but the effect was too harsh, so I repurposed those bulbs for utility spaces and relamped with 3200K soft white.
Yes, I am a lighting geek.
Don’t have a way to visualize those numbers in my head.
Without cloud cover, daylight rates as “Too fuckin’ bright”. I already said my piece about the main artificial options.
Not brightness. This is about temperature (color) of the light emitted by the bulb.
I said my piece about the color of the light.
Sunlight is still too fukin’ bright.
But not enough of a geek to you nm instead of angstrom. ugh.

My garage lights are picked based on their heating ability. Light output is secondary. Same for the pump house.
Such a waste of mercury.

I’ve pulled a muscle in my back from coughing so hard. I’m also out of work for the rest of the week as I officially have the flu for the second time this season. And, yes,I got the flu shot.
It seems like everyone I know who got the shot also got the flu.
Same here. I pointed this out to my mom earlier and her response was that I still should have taken the shot.
I haven’t taken a flu shot since I was in elementary school. I’m now 38 years old, and I’ve contracted the flu 3 times.
The flu shot is a fucking scam.
Yeah they said it wasn’t working very well this year. I got one and haven’t had it yet though.
Original effectiveness was rated at ten percent. Updated shots are rated at thirty percent. Still lousy.
They put out a 2.0 for this season?
Apparently, or it may be just a shift in the prevalent flu strain.
They’ll typically go through several iterations every year as they try to dial in what strains are actually prevalent. Early fly shots are always a crap shoot. I used to work at a manufacturing plant for flu vaccines, among others diseases. They are always recalibrating the vaccines.
Doctor of internal medicine who took care of me during my recent hospitalization with flu & pneumonia said it was 10% this year.
H3N2 is a real beast.
I seem to be really susceptible to flu, but have generally avoided it since I started getting the shot every year. Just not this year.
Oh fudge. I’ve been coughing non-stop for the past two days, and now I’ve got the body aches. People at work were dropping like flies but I didn’t put 2 and 2 together.
In brighter news, this is just another good justification to indefinitely postpone hernia surgery and go to jury duty instead.
Maybe you can get the prosecutor and the judge sick.
I have the best dog. She was snuggling with me when the dog walker came. She jumped off the bed “my friend!” ran to the top the stairs and stopped. “You need me!” Turned and ran back to the bed. He called her and she ran to the top of the stairs, then back to me. I had to get up and walk her down the stairs. When they came back, she came charging up the stairs as soon as her leash was off. “I am here human and I will comfort you!”
I was 104.5 this morning. Very close to a trip to the ER.
I’m going to have to wake up every 5.5 hours to take Tylenol tonight if I want to avoid that tomorrow.

That’s awfully high. Hope you get better soon.
That IS a trip to the ER. Yikes!

My neighbor has an 800 acre plot of land right across the road from me. On the back side of it, there is an old family cemetery that dates to the late 1800s. There are a lot of grave markers for young children that are dated 1918-1920. That would have been a tough time to live.
Yeah, those old cemetarys are interesting.
Whole families buried together on the same date = house fire
Rows of people under 20 close together in date = mostly yellow fever or dysentery
countless young men fallen in battle

We are lucky to be alive now and not then.
A universal truth.
What is really sad is how often there is a few months old child, then one or two years later, another few months old child. I can’t imagine the heartbreak.
Yes. I have a grave I keep visiting when I go to Charleston. It’s a family plot, and I figured out the oldest child lived until she was 1. But she saw 4 younger siblings die first.
*until she was 11*
Both my grandmothers had siblings die very young. My dad’s mother’s youngest sister died at age 4. My mom’s mom never knew her older sibling (can’t remember brother/sister) because her parents’ first kid died about the time my grandmother was born.
My mom’s father and my dad’s mother both had little sisters die young – one at 4, one at 7. In my grandfathers’s case, both of his parents died within two years of his sister, leaving him and his brother orphans. My grandmother’s other younger sister also died young, at age 15 in a car wreck. She had a rough life growing up – those tragedies, and her dad was a sharecropper so they were dirt poor. Oh, and the Depression started when she was 8.

Any guy dating a girl who believes one word of that deserves what he gets.
Good thing are not any female libertarians.
So, they’re saying you should only date real men, like Mike Pence?
Pence caught a lot shit for his stance on other. women, but it’s made him bulletproof to the #metoo brigade.
In my own life, I do much the same thing. I haven’t spent any 1 on 1 time socially with another woman since I got married. It’s kinda the right thing to do if you want to have a stable marriage.
Sometimes, I have to for work. My wife has met them all and understands that they are no threat (for a number of reasons).
“Honey, look, there’s nothing for you to worry about. If I were interested in hot chicks, I wouldn’t be married to you!”
This. I’m uncomfortable when I have to do closed door 1 on 1 meetings with women. Not because anything would happen, but because 80% of people are only situationally ethical. I don’t trust them not to make something up if it would benefit their career.
I think I have been in one on one work situations with a woman less than a dozen times in the past seven years. I’m not bothered, because it takes a different type of woman to work where I do, and they aren’t what one would call desirable.
The safe word is SAMMICH.
Where do I turn myself in? All my inside jokes at work are with men. I work with men.
If you haven’t fantasized about a chick you know during sex with your girlfriend than you are mentally ill.
Where do dreams fit in the paranoid GF/BF land? I have dreams about guys I know and guys I don’t know. I know enough not to discuss them, but I don’t feel in any way guilty for what my subconscious brain feels like serving up for the night’s sensual dream.
*nods and winks*
You get one of those every night!?
She’s like that. Cool chick.
Aw. Thanks, Tundra.
*blushes*
Well, unless I don’t remember anydreams at all, which happens about half the nights.
Sometimes it’s just the ol’ steamy kisses on the back of the neck, but other times when i wake up with racing pulse and other…symptoms, damn, that’s as good as a memory, in my book.
Wow. I get one or two dreams like that a year. Go go team hayeksplosives!
It’s weird when I’m in the dream/wake twilight state and then wake up and go “Ah, nuts! That didn’t actually happen.” Then, depending on who was involved, might say “Whew, good thing that didn’t really happen.” File away memory anyway.
That was actually funny 🙂
What kind of cuck would put up with being nagged about this bullshit?
You know, there’s a word for that sort of paranoia: clingy.
Conversely, a guy who’s that paranoid about his wife/girlfriend having any kind of interaction with other men would be rightly labeled as an insecure control freak.
“…brave enough to speak up and add another dimension to the societal conversation about sexual assault.”
Is that what the kids are calling defining down these days?

I love to watch the progs go all neopuritan.
I hope he sues her so hard for breach of contract that she can’t afford her Valtrex prescription.
That Las Vegas shooting investigation doesn’t seem to be going so well.
I am just gonna go ahead and say it – Paddock was a nutjob lefty with severe TDS and wanted to punish Trump voters. That’s my call. If I turn out to be wrong, fine, but I wouldn’t bet against it.
Investigation? You mean the construction of a narrative that doesn’t frighten the public and minimizes contradictions with already-released information.
(Offers roll of tinfoil around…)

It’s not working!
I’ll take some tinfoil, Thanks.
This whole thing stinks to high heaven. If they aren’t covering up a conspiracy, then they are doing their absolute best to make sure everyone thinks they are.

Shock? Like with the lobster-shocker?
But it has to be a Swiss-made Lobster Shocker.
Shock Lobster!
**two octave higher Fred Schneider voice** Shock Lob-stah!!
Doubles as a fondue sticker?
And shears, and a teakettle, oh and of course a knife.
Not a watch, though.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you….the Swiss Army Lobster-Shocker!
The EPL has 20 teams, the Bundesliga only 18. And doesn’t the Championship have 24?
And if the third tier of English football is League One, shouldn’t the two above it be League Zero and League Negative One?
Yeah, that’s a fair point. But if the Championship is outdrawing La Liga (Barcelona, Real Madrid, et al) & Serie A (Juventus, Inter, AC), then I still think the numbers say (a) support for English teams runs deep and (b) a lot of clubs in Spain & Italy must draw fairly small crowds.
Italy is a mess at the moment. Then there’s the strange case of AC Milan ownership under a mysterious owner.
But Tomassi may get elected to the FIGC. It would signal a change in the right direction. If he does, it’s a win for Baggio and others who have been clamouring for an overhaul since THE 1990s.
But they’re slowly getting their act together. New TV deals are in the works, new stadiums, and the aforementioned FIGC revolution.
We’ll see.
And it looks like the 2. Bundesliga has a higher per-game attendance than the Championship, too.
Wow, the Championship has higher attendance than La Liga or Serie A? That’s impressive.
My friend told me, ‘you can’t bring the family to a Serie A game.’
That crucifies attendance.
Safety? Too expensive? #metoo?
All of the above. They’re Itais after all.
It gets ugly.. Take the advice.
Since we are on the topic – where is everyone watching World Cup?

Concerns in small countries…I have the New Zealand Herald app on my ‘phone. The NZH is the number one national newspaper in the country so I get regular news updates about traffic in Auckland. Here’s the latest alert sent, I need to reiterate, by a national newspaper:
“Police investigating after a four-month-old kitten suffered burns to its face and body.”
My wife just complained that our dogs are bored. They live inside the house and eat 2x per day. They sleep on beds. They get hot baths. They get two rounds of treats every night before bed.
I suggested that they go sit on the dog bed by the fire and contemplate the life of the neighbors dog who has been living outside in the snow for two days.
“They get hot baths.”
They’re dogs. Are you sure that is a positive?
I have never given my dog a bath. She’s a greyhound, so short coat and no undercoat. People at the dog park frequently comment “she’s so soft! What do you use on her?” Nothing.
Hmm, Other than a Flea bath She didn’t need, Bella has never been bathed and she’s really soft coated
Greyhounds are as soft as bunny rabbits for some reason.
It occurs to me that I’ve never heard of a Greyhound complaining about white people touching their hair.
Greyhounds will only complain when you stop. “Pet MOAR!”
i would only bathe my GSD once or twice a year, unless she rolled in something nasty. Our PON, on the other hand, needs frequent brushing and bathing. The log hair acts like a swiffer through the Great Outdoors.
We have 2 GSPs, one with a thick undercoat and one without – same breed mind you. Both were rightly and truly shocked by the 1st winter in PA having previously lived in San Diego. The one with the undercoat needs to be brushed weekly even during winter – and the spring/summer blow, daily.
Suthen, you described Bella’s Life to a T
So I heard Chuck Schumer on the radio this morning explaining that Trump has to greenlight the DACA legislation in order to make the first step on the long road back to proving he’s not a racist bigot. It’s nice to know there’s a senator out there granting absolution from the sin of racism. All you have to do is accept someone else’s political agenda and you’re good to go until the powers that be change the virtue rules again.
You poor bastard – forced to listen to the sound of his voice.
Indulgences?
One of the things I actually like about Trump is that he doesn’t give a fuck about Chuck Schumer.
He does not. And if he doesn’t like someone, he’ll make up an insulting nickname for them. Has he done that with Schumer yet?
Lactating Chuck.
It’s not absolution, it’s the first step. If Trump caved today they’d be calling him Hitler tomorrow (and Trump is well aware of this).
Could you hear his moobs flopping against the microphone?
That nails it B.P.
That explains so much about the progs. I hope Trump tells Moobs to fuck off, that shit isnt going to work this time.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-17/apple-expects-38-billion-tax-bill-on-overseas-repatriated-cash
Apple Inc. said it will bring hundreds of billions of overseas dollars back to the U.S., pay about $38 billion in taxes on the money and spend tens of billions on domestic jobs, manufacturing and data centers in the coming years.
So cutting corporate tax rates is going to reduce our tax receipts right?
I also saw they are adding 20,000 jobs and an additional HQ – not betting on Des Moines…
Well sure, because unrealized potential tax revenue is real revenue.
Crumbs.
This shit is bound to be eating the progs up from the inside out.
I have asked several of these progs I know why a woke company like Apple didn’t do that when Black Jesus was in charge and telling us he was going to fix everything and make the world better, and all I usually get are wishes for an untimely and horrid demise to happen to me.

So the next Democrat primary is certainly shaping up to be a bit awkward…
Kamala Harris – who exploded onto the scene by being interrupted by a man
vs.
Cory Booker – whose current claim to national fame is yelling at a woman
They should make a sex tape.
No, they really should not.
Ease up on the kinkshaming, jerk.
“I’ll be showing her my O Face“
Re-written as “yelling man interrupts woman” and you have Kanye.
+Immaletyoufinish
At least Kanye is funny.
Neither one is a strong contender outside of their own states.
States which would vote for an egg salad sandwich with a (D) after its name.
Harris is getting the VP nod for 2020. I would bet money on it. I don’t think Dems are quite so stupid as to take the chance with putting her at the top of the ticket.
He’s also apparently recently famous for eating at some vegan bar with strippers who also have no meat on them.
Let’s be honest. The next D VP candidate will be whoever Hillary decides it will be, or else.
HUMA!
lol
Now we’re talkin. A Huma, Booker, Harris threeway tape with Fauxcahontas sitting in the corner rubbing her clit with a peacepipe.
You are s.i.c.k. sick.
I’m so not clicking on that link.
I can’t remember who it was – perhaps Warren… who established this precedent that “You need to have an irrational yelling-fit in congress” to be considered a “Serious Contender” for the presidency. Because *emotional, indignant outbursts* are like totally what gets people motivated.
and i suppose that’s true – or that they’ve done enough testing / surveying to realize that people pay attention to that shit, no matter how dumb. its not the content of the ‘yelling’ – its the emotional content itself. people don’t care what it means, they just squee when they are exposed to *emotional passion*. THEY PERSISTED AND SHIT.
i personally feel that its not as effective as they imagine, and tends to have the risk of working against them if its in the wrong context or forum. Getting all ‘shouty’ is what killed Howard Dean. Fake outrage can be a little too obvious. Booker looked like he was playing a character rather than being himself. but who knows, maybe people will eat it up.
I for one, am waiting for one of the people being yelled at to flip the table, and start yelling back.
Meh, it’ll just lead to a billion “Watch this Trump appointee have an epic meltdown!” posts on social media followed by a somber WaPo editorial explaining why this proves Trump should be impeached.
This sort of thing plays well within the proggie bubble on social media, but I doubt it gets even a tenth of the attention (and even less praise) among the normies that the progs think it does.
Compare Warren saying “you didn’t build that” (which made proggies squeal with delight, and which barely anyone else even noticed) vs. Obama saying “you didn’t build that” (which caused kind of a shitstorm with the general population).
I thought the Girther link might be worth a look. I click, and the very first sentence was:
From the racist notion that President Obama wasn’t born in America
And I was out.
I didn’t click, but my first thought was that, you know, I was thinking that fat shaming is a huge no-no. So is it, or is it not?
As if racist people don’t believe that there are any black people born in the US. Shit, I think their problem is that there are black people born in the US.
No need to worry, they’re going to whiten up in a few thousand years just like we all did. I mean except for maybe the ones in Florida and the desert Southwest.

Good points about religious liberty and how what the Trump administration did is not that controversial
You don’t understand. Back then Democrats had to pretend to be on the side of religious fundie bigots. But now that we’re so much more enlightened and the bible clingers so powerless, Democrats can say what they truly felt all along. It’s just like how Hillary and Obama were only fooling back when they claimed to oppose gay marriage.
ACC schedules released today.
1. GT plays Bowling Green for the first time ever. Are we B1G now?
2. GT @ Louisville is on a Friday night. Ugh.
I hate Thursday/Friday night games. Thankfully, Clemson plays neither this year.
My team has always played on the Friday after thanksgiving. I don’t mind it. There have been some great games over the years on that date.
Friday after Thanksgiving is different because it is mostly a Holiday.
That’s probably why I like it. I could always watch woth family and for years we were playing LSU that day. We won alot those games and even if it was a crap a crap season, a win against LSU would make it all better.
Midweek MACtion is the best!
Well. I just went and ran a couple of errands. The road to my house is a ribbon of ice. You probably couldn’t make it any more slicker if you ran a Zamboni over it. It is ostensibly 40 degrees, and the wind is blowing so hard it was trying to turn the tuck sideways. This is why they make studded tires. I don’t have them, though. Fun fun fun. What’d I miss?
I dont know. I am trying to cook and keep up here. It aint workin’.
Maybe I will just start drinking again.

No, he’s got it right, he should quit every day until around 5pm. Wait, I think Suthen is retired… I have to rethink this… he should quit every day until around 2pm.
Glad you made it back safe. It’s been below 20 degrees for 2 days at my place and nary a flake has fallen from the sky. I’m getting the bitter cold without ice or snow to go play in. Kinda sucks.
26 and sunny here. I’ve been driving around with the truck window open. Feels like a goddamn heat wave.
I do not miss that Part of Colorado, I acclimated to wearing T shirts in 30 degree weather, that’s nuts IMO
The first time I went to Fairbanks, I was driving through the University grounds and saw a kid walking around in a t-shirt, tanktop and flip-flops. The thermometer in my rental car read -2. I commented on this to bartender later that night and he remarked “Well it was -45 here last week so -2 feels pretty good.”

That’s a weird feeling. I was in northern AZ this weekend and it was about 40 degrees and I was walking around in a t-shirt. The sun beating down on you at high elevation for some reason makes you feel warm.
When I lived in Arizona my teeth would start chattering at any temperature below 70.
I start sweating at 70.
I was in San Antonio in December one year. I was at the Riverwalk at night when it was about 55 F or so. I was comfortable in pants and a t-shirt. Most everyone else out was wearing a heavy jacket.

So, at least the interview is done. I suppose it went well enough. I felt like I didn’t quite master my nerves, so I’m not sure if that came out during the phone conversation or not. He said I should hopefully hear back in the next 48 hours. So we’ll see. I’m just going to assume I’m not getting it.
And you get to Split from the I.E.? I hope to by Summer, Good Luck Sir!
Yeah, that’s the dream. I’d love to finally get out of this shithole.
It’s a decent attitude to take.
Still, I wish you luck!

Speaking of the Saints’ punter, he got hurt (looked like ribcage) making what might have been a touchdown-saving tackle after a kick. Any word on what or how bad his injury was?
Yeah, he was just on the radio here. Torn rib cartilage. Stud for continuing to play.
He tore some cartilage in his ribcage. It’ll take 4 – 6 weeks for him to heal up.

Our working premise is about a teenage girl living in a horrific Trumpenreich dystopia at some unspecific date in the far future. Said girl is amazingly skilled at everything she does somehow, always impressing people who have decades of experience in the same fields or actions. She lives in a Pleasantville-esque suburbia of upper class white people, whereas what few racial minorities are allowed to stay are in a caste system where they have to clean sewers with their bare hands and the like. One day she discovers that her next door neighbours are actually secretly Mexicans trying to help sneak people across the border with the New Underground Railroad into Mexico, which has become an agrarian syndicalist utopia. When they’re captured its up to her to travel across dystopian America with information vital to the Resistance and eventually cross the massive structure and no man’s land known only as ‘The Wall’.
We’ve already tossed around the idea of hiring a black woman to pretend to be the writer. Working title is ‘The Wall’ and the cover is a young teenage girl standing defiantly looking up at it.
Damn, the only thing that concerns me is that you might attacked for having White Savior like that poor woke author who found herself unwoke (TW: Slate).
Otherwise, 10/10.
Definitely would. Have the protagonist be a sassy black girl who lives in that horrible caste system and is #resisting. She’s actually the one running the Mexicans. Make sure your author persona is a black woman (bonus points if you’re queer) so you can hashtag it #OwnVoices

I don’t see how anyone cannot grasp the immense consequences of reducing corporate tax rate from 35 to 21%. How dumb does someone have to be to not see that?
I think that the proggies grasp it just fine, but all they care about is that they have less loot to steal and because of that, less moolah to buy votes with.

Trump’s attempts to undermine the free press also make it more difficult to hold repressive governments accountable. For decades, dissidents and human rights advocates have relied on independent investigations into government corruption to further their fight for freedom. But constant cries of “fake news” undercut this type of reporting and strip activists of one of their most powerful tools of dissent.
I don’t have many regrets in my life but one of them is voting for that statist piece of shit in 2008. I even put one of his campaign stickers on my laptop which in hindsight was dumb as hell and got me a lot of derision from acquaintances and strangers. He’s everything that is wrong about politics and should have been voted out years ago.
Yep, fake news is a myth (CNN’s Sanjay Gupta implies Trump actually has heart disease):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXpvFjxDmSI
HAHA! FAIL!
And I condemn myself…
This pretty much sounds exactly like election night 2016 on CNN when Hillary was looking desperate. ‘Well, let’s look over here, polls still not closed, could be some votes there, or maybe over here, there could be some votes here…’
If you dont like being called an asshole, stop being an asshole. If you dont like being called a liar, stop lying. If you are John McCain, dont bother. Just go shoot yourself.

So it’s not only psychiatrists getting in on the “diagnose Trump for fun and profit” game.

Isn’t it bad practice to diagnose someone without meeting or personally examining them?
Mortals who do this could wind up being censured or even losing a license. But BECUZ DRUMPF they’re given a pass.
They’d have their licenses/credentials pulled if they were doing this to literally anyone else.
Now that I read the article, assuming the numbers he has on hand are true technically he could have an opinion on them, and now we know what it is. To diagnose him from that not knowing anything else? Yes, that’s bad.
Shows complete lack of professionalism and class.
“Sanjay Gupta”
Who the fuck is that? Does anyone care?
That link about how the doctors in the UK missed the lady’s blood cancer reminds me of how the doctors missed my mother-in-law’s multiple myeloma in another country with socialized medicine. Her doctor noted that she had a low count of red blood cells, but it wasn’t a problem, because she had plenty of white blood cells. Doctors can make mistakes anywhere, but this was so bad it’s infuriating.
Ok, I’m hoping that wasn’t an actual doctor, but an idiot who wandered into the office and put on a lab coat. White blood cells and red blood cells perform completely different functions. That would be like saying “well, your house has no roof on it, but it’s okay because you’ve got two floors”.
Nope. Actual doctor. Medical malpractice lawsuits do serve a purpose.

Well the other day I’m playing in a pool tournament and they had to call over a well known pro to ensure I was making a clean hit. This guy is from Norway or Finland or one of those kinds of places. And I blurt out at least he’s not from one of those shithole countries. A couple of people laughed but a mostly uncomfortable silence followed in the prog melting pot that is a manhattan pool hall.
Luckily the guy made a joke back and everybody relaxed.
My filter is definitely a lot looser the older I get.

It is what it is. Don’t like that? It’s still what it is.
At this point, I’m not aware of what giving a fuck about what other people think even feels like. It’s been that long.
This has been my destination for awhile. I think I reached it when I got to the point that no matter how short I had my hair cut you could see the gray.

“this dude….he invented a car that runs on water, man”
“so its a boat?”
“no…he like, made a carburetor, and the oil companies had him killed”
“over his boat?”
“No, man. It was….a car. And it like, ran on…..water!”
“So it was a boat.”

i Built an R/C boat from scratch once, thrust vectoring props and shit, it would take off into the air on full throttle, it didn’t live very long…
And Besides, what is wrong with a guy who has no arms or legs, and floats on water?

Hanging on the wall: Art
Art is my middle Name, seriously
Buried in a pile of leaves: Russel.
Now, if one of your names is Russel, you need to have a conversation with your parents.
Coke too? Thanks WOD.

What would be the point in adulterating blow with fentanyl? Maybe these overdoses were also heroin users who were speedballing and got a bad batch or something.
A lot of people fail to make the distinction between legitimate OD, and a deliberate suicide. Addiction is a pretty dark place.
Sure, it’d be a painless and nonmessy way to check out and would be particularly attractive to someone who’s already an addict.
As best I can recall, the FedGOV had no problem deliberately poisoning/killing 10s of thousands of it own citizens by de-naturing industrial alcohol during prohibition. Why would throwing some fentanyl in the coke supply-stream not still be in their playbook?
That was actually my first thought.
Mine too, I’m just not quite that cynical yet but I’m working on it.
And suddenly, carfentanil, which was only used by zoos and veterinarians to tranquilize elephants and shit, is showing up in the opiate stream in Covington, Ky? Yet we’re assured that it’s only legitimately produced someplace in Dog-Dong, China? (Unless you’re SPETZNAS gassing out a theater from those pesky Chechens).
But again, the same logic applies. If the WOD is 100% successful, where are all those people gonna go? “Enhanced Vigilance” to keep the filth off the streets? If the drug problem is solved and the US is completely abstinent, whats the role of the DEA, and their ilk?
If I happen to be in the narcotics business, supply is good- I dont want to kill my clientele. I like to think its just shoddy QC on the street level.
I live in Ohio, and the last back-of-envelope, 8th-grade, math I could cobble together showed me that the State brings in around $100M or so, just in tax for alcohol, throw in $800M and some change for tobacco. Calling it just shy of $1BN, if you went to Columbus, and announced that you had a pill that would cure the desire to use alcohol and/or tobacco, you’d be lauded publicly as a “champion of health”, and likely be dead before you got out of the building. Gov’t isnt going to just accept a $1BN deficit in revenue.
*sigh*
I’ve been chasing a stupid bug in monocle eyepiece where the unread comments count wouldn’t update when I refreshed the comments. Turns out I put the updating code after a parenthesis instead of before…. stupid me.
Cute story- I once jumped through all kinds of stupid hoops setting up a PC, cause I use the mouse LEFT handed. Every OS install defaulted to RIGHT.
I spent a week hitting the wrong button, and wasting hours with faceless tech-support people.
Comment out your parentheses.
(I did that with my braces on the rare occasions I had to program in Perl.)
I remember my braces. Adolescence can be tough.
I’m gonna go write a Nocturne, I’ll be BACK!
$5 says its a Nocturne Emission, amirite?
