Welcome back everyone to the weekday links. I hope everyone is catching up on all the work you “missed” last week. I know I am. Not a whole lot else going on. Excellent contributor articles abound, please peruse the main page and catch up on any you’ve missed over the last week. If you guys generate much more content, I’m going to start skipping links (that’s a promise not a threat!). Also, stick around after the links for the thrilling conclusion of THE STEVE SMITH SANCTION.
I don’t know what they mean by disproportionately large stinger, every wasp that gets within five feet of me looks like this to me. h/t Mad Scientist
Newly-wed husband and wife collide on zip-line, men hardest hit. That’s one way to get out of it.
Florida Man crashes motorcycle, lives, perseveres in killing himself.
I feel like we could send a delegation of Dennis Rodman, Bill O’Reilly, and ICP, and make this happen.

There’s an awful lot of excitable boys (and girls and other genders) out there nowadays.

So I guess she can say their honeymoon was a real……hit?
It was just smashing.
…that was my alternative selection
They did a bang up job.
I’ll go out on a rope and say they probably won’t be back for a 2nd honeymoon.
Sad. The wife is the primary victim, of course, having lost a husband.
Sin,
H. Clinton
When he said he was going to bang her, she didn’t think there would be *that* much blood.
Just wait until Dr. Borous creates cazadors in big MT.
The Clistopyga has a particularly gruesome manner of laying eggs: first, the wasp finds spider nests, then paralyzes the spider with venom. Next, the wasp lays eggs on the spider. The hatching larva eats the spider as well as possible spider eggs or hatchlings.
Tender loving mother nature right there.
Respect.
Paraditoidal wasps are pretty common. From wiki:
The cazadors in Fallout: New Vegas are mutated wasps called tarantula hawks, which are parasitoidal. Considering their size, the most likely host is a human or a brahmin. Have some extra nightmare fuel if you go and replay it.
I already run screaming from cazadors because they just don’t die (and dodge way too many shots). I don’t need additional reasons to run away.
Holy adding insult to injury, Batman!
I read that, and immediately thought of THIS from Family Guy.
I hate work.
Florida man link 1 of 2: Cop resigns after stealing $6,250 from home he was searching
What a moron. You call it civil asset forfeiture, then it just strangely disappears from evidence.
“to avoid prosecution on a grand theft felony charge”
Excuse me?
Can you think of a worse punishment?
Can’t say I’ve been missing it Bob.
Padding your resume with BS only works for so long. Seems to work in the primary but maybe not a general election.
She Identifies as a business lady, that’s all that matters.
Hey! Is she trying to pretend that she is a graduate of The U of M?
The best part of this is how easy it should be to prove her qualifications if she really did that. Of course, being from Team Blue means that the media will never demand that she answer any of the accusations.
Just like here where our first Somali legislator said she wouldn’t ever answer any questions about her two marriages (one possibly to her brother for immigration purposes) and that was the end of it.
Well, not quite the end of it. Had to smear anyone asking those questions as a racist & bigot first. Then that was the end of it.
Florida man link 2 of 2; 1,300 gator hunting permits to go on sale tomorrow
Over/under on number of deaths from that 1,300?
Gators or Florida men?
“Bows and crossbows, gigs, harpoons, spears, spearguns, fishing poles using a weighted treble hook, fishing poles using artificial lures, baited wooded pegs (must be less than 2 inches long) using a fishing pole or hand-held line, hand-line snatch hooks, hand-held catch poles, hand-held snares and bang sticks (the only firearm you’re allowed to use for alligator hunting).”
Not even shotguns?
“Duterte vows to resign if anybody can prove God exists”
I can help him find out if Satan exist.
Let’s give him lead poisoning and then he will see the light.
A Dexter-Morgan-type solution immediately came to mind.
That Wasp reminds me of my baby picture
I had the great fortune to see Warren Zevon at our local fair grounds. It was just him with a keyboard, and a guitar player. RIP Warren.
I bet that was blast!
Yes. He was one of those very talented singer/songwriters that you don’t see anymore.
Warren Zevon, Hunter S Thompson and hockey.

Tab Hunter, 1931-2018
Damn he looked good for 86.
I had an old H&R 20 ga single shot like that. Had loads if fun with it.
My first gun was a Stevens .410 just like that.
Next was a Stevens over/under in .22/.410.
Rabbit guns.
Top notch musical links today. Love me some Zevon.

Oh man I haven’t read a Politoco article in a while. Man I forget how hilarious it could be.
People from all walks of life are rallying around him! We got public school teachers, college students, Austin hipsters, Bernie Sanders fans, and even graphic designers. A true cross section of America.
What’s more, a true cross section of Texas!

End Citizens United, a campaign finance reform group
Hah! The hypocrisy of using a group to advocate for reversing Citizens United. Also hilarious is using out of state fundraisers to funnel money from non-voters into the state.
“End Citizens United”? in oral arguments, the solicitor general argued the govt could prevent the publication of books. that can never be said enough.
Didn’t the Postmaster General used to reserve that power for himself?
Sorry for the late reply, but I just had to add: That Solicitor General? None other than Elena Kagan. Who of course didn’t recuse herself from the case when it came before the supreme court. Shameful and despicable.
Pathetic, squishy-headed Florida Man. I’ve crashed my motorcycle twice in one day and managed to survive. Wear a helmet, man!
You probably didn’t stop at the bar to get your BAC back into the danger zone between 1 and 2.
The first crash rattled him and he needed a few more drinks to steady his nerves before riding on.
His nerves are in a steady state now.
Two cracks at Florida Man to kill him?
Pffffft. What amateurs.
Minnesoda Gal wipes them out two at a time. The trick is to turn in front of them at the last minute. Trying to get them head on is too hard.
Trump is heading off to Europe tomorrow while both Merkel and May are hanging by a thread. it will be interesting to see if they negotiate or he just helps push over both governments.
Hopefully they’ll both be ushered off to The Home for Powerful Old Retired Broads, and soon.

Mexican president-elect wants every kid to go to college
“Future education secretary Esteban Moctezuma said later that the government will provide $126 in monthly scholarships to students who need financial help to finish high school or university, if the budget permits. He said the new government does not plan to increase taxes.”
Good luck with that. The comments on the story are hilarious.
Moctezuma’s Revenge?
Mexico is going to close the barista gap.
Maybe we can outsource all of our gender studies needs to them.
Maybe immigration will go the other direction…
…what the hell am I saying?
If it did they wouldn’t let us in. All due to Trump’s policies of course. The Mexicans will see this as getting revenge.
As with everything in life, there’s a 30 Rock for that

thank you for the Unabomber-show recommend
i like it. not as good as “Manhunter”, and a few quibbles about the characters (the female FBI agent is far too hamhandedly-modern “quirky CSI-type sidekick who uses 2010’s millenial slang”). but good.
She actually reminded me of the characters on Brooklyn Nine Nine. I’m sure much of it was dramatized to within an inch of the truth. That agent didn’t make up the phrase “forensic linguistics”, either. It had existed for quite a while before then.
My favorite parts were when they were analyzing his manifesto.
I also loved when Kaczynski reeled him in during the interrogation, then told him the warrant was B.S.
i’ve only seen E01 so far
* and i’ve only just gotten to that bit at the end
The only episode I was “meh” on was the arrest episode. Buncha law & order hoo-ha.
Anyway – enjoy! It’s a good sub until Mindhunter comes back.

Yeah, Mexican Obama is apt.
So he identifies as Mexican?
So do I. Incidentally, nobody here has called me out on it.

According to modern leftists. Yes. He needs to be purged to maintain the purity of the cultures.
You know who else wanted to maintain purity?

Very sceptical…
Just need the pot for the reason trifecta!
…hope his raw charisma combines in just the right proportion with anti-Cruz animus, Texas’ changing demographics and national Democratic momentum to put him over the top
I’m not aware of much anti-Cruz animus outside of Democratic circles, Texas’ changing demographics have (so far) not translated into a Californian shift, and the Democratic momentum would have to be monumental to create a swing of D+8. “Hope” is the right word for it.
It’s pretty much the same kind of story they kept running about Wendy Davis. That race was much less favorable because Greg Abbott is more of a blandly inoffensive figure than Ted Cruz, but they still pumped that bitch the hell up despite the fact that she had no real chance to win. This time, they’re pumping up a guy who has a tiny chance of winning.
Time for a chuckle.

I learned to shoot shotguns with a double-barrelled .410 that Pater Dean inherited from his uncle. No idea how old; I’m guessing it was from the ’20s, but it could be older. Pater Dean is such a good shot that he actually used it for quail hunting and tagged just about every day with it.
If you guys generate much more content, I’m going to start skipping links (that’s a promise not a threat!).
I would hope that in such a situation the links would persist, if even in a reduced and perfunctory state, both for the sake of tradition as well as to provide OT threads so people don’t have to hijack dedicated articles and their discussion.
Hijacking dedicated articles are what we do best. Why mess with that tradition?
I’d like to counter this…but I got nothing. I concede the point.
You’re a gadfly. Isn’t random shit your whole MO?

I had a hornet starting a nest in my mailbox, Since it’s occasionally good to get mail, I dealt with that over the weekend. I didn’t get close enough to evaluate the size of its stinger.
Also, too bad that Israeli couple obviously didn’t watch South Park .
By dealt with, I assume you mean set the old mailbox on fire from afar and replaced it after the fire died out.
I have wasps do that every damn year. This year I went during the day when they were out foraging and knocked the nest out and filled in any hole I could find. Been wasp free ever since.
CPRM – I’ve looked. Apparently, not hard enough
Brett – grenades work, too. I’m not crazy, though. I only used a smoke grenade.
Sorry to go off topic so soon, but it’s an alcohol related question, so acceptable?
Anyway, one of my good friends is having a baby and I wanted to buy him a nice bottle of scotch. I don’t know Jack about scotch, but I’m thinking the $200 price range is what I am wanting to spend. What are some recommendations, keeping in mind it needs to be readily available (I don’t want to have to go to Scotland to get it, although that would be fun)?
Babies don’t know that much about scotch, so feel free to buy them the cheap kind. It’s always good etiquette to bring along one of those bottles with a nipple on it.
???
Helps with teething.
My plan was to attach a little note that says “For teething”
get a bottle of this
http://www.totalwine.com/spirits/scotch/single-malt/macallan-12-yr/p/644175?s=401&igrules=true
spending more ($300) for the ‘single cask 25 yr’ isn’t worth it imo. booze that’s too-expensive makes people feel guilty drinking it.
and no one ever disliked mccallan 12 year
He won’t feel guilty. 🙂
well, just fyi = the price breaks on ‘good scotch’ tend to go, “$50 (shelf), $120-150 (top shelf), $250-300 (limited quantity, snooty bottle)”
the $200 price point is sort of a no-man’s land, tho there’s certainly stuff there. i personally think the drinkability doesn’t get hugely better after the first $100, but then i’m not a huge high-end scotch drinker. Of the ones i have drank frequently (Lagavulin, Balvenie, McCallan, Oban, Cardhu), i think McCallan has the most universally-appealing flavor profile. Or maybe that’s what a bartender told me once.
The 21 yr Balvenie is about $200 a bottle and is very, very good.
I wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed on a cold night
Thanks for the recommendation Gilmore and SP.
Best. Yule Log. Ever.
I think Gilmore nails it.
Unless the guy is a real scotch aficionado and you know he’s an Islay fan, steer away from those and go for more of a Highland. The oily/peaty/smoky Islay flava is usually an acquired taste. The Highlands are usually the e-z drinking scotches.
Personally, I’m not a big McCallan fan – its good, but there’s just others I like better. Glenmorangie is an excellent Highland scotch with a pretty broad selection. I also like Oban.
That’s the best kind of friend.
And Gilmore’s rec is a tried and true selection.
We disagree on a particular tropical fruit, but in this we are in complete agreement.
I love tropical fruit. In the appropriate context.
But I *always* love single malt scotch.
It depends on if he has a preference on style – I like Highland whisky, which would mean Macallan 12 as suggested above, or (my favorite) Glenmorangie 18. Islay lovers you can’t go wrong with Lagavulin 16 or Laphroaig 18. If you can sneak a look at his liquor cabinet, whatever he has up front and half full or less is probably his favorite.
That being said, I still consider myself a neophyte when it comes to whisky, and I still enjoy trying something new just as much as I enjoy drinking what I know I like.
He’s mostly a beer drinker (micro brews) but does drink liquor. For bourbon he likes Woodford over Beam and Makers. He’s the type of guy that would appreciate something like this because it’s not something he would typically buy for himself. The bottle might last 10 years or it might last the weekend.
Ah. Look for Springbank 15 year old. A very nice scotch that should meet his tastes and runs about $120.
This is an important consideration. Do you happen to know what his favorite Scotches are?
Does the father know the different between a $50 bottle of whiskey and a $200 bottle? Of not get him the cheaper stuff.
What type of scotch does he like? I don’t like scotch aged more than 15-18 years because after that, it’s about the barrel. You’re price range puts you into the 21 spectrum.
Thanks Spud. I’m not sure what his favorite Scotches are. When we drank it was mostly beer and then the occasional mixed drink. We were drinking to get drunk and not necessarily for the enjoyment of a classy beverage. Good times. 🙂
A couple of replies above, I recommended the Springbank 15. My prejudices aside, the Balvenie 21 is a great choice, or just about any Balvenie.
Good to see dudes getting in on Title IX lawsuits.
Black guy loses racial discrimination suit against local university. Files a new lawsuit, saying the chicks at the university were out to get him because he was a guy.
The story made me giggle because it said he was doing fine when he was studying remotely. Things only went off the rails after he showed up for a couple weeks for in person studying. I wonder what sort of crazy he was that made the people at the uni say “Oh, oh. We gotta bounce this guy.”
On the topic of site articles, in addition to the outstanding run of articles we’ve been having, coming attractions this week include pieces by The Hyperbole, trshmnstr, Suthenboy, Creosote Achilles, PieintheSky, and the usual suspects, like A Leap at the Wheel’s GlibFit post.
So much Glibness, you won’t know what hit you!
(And you know you, yes, YOU, want to write an article, too. Do it.)
I’ll write up and article on [REDACTED] [REDACTED] one of these days, I’m sure EVERYONE will just love it.
Well, when you DO, make sure you put [READY FOR REVIEW] or [READY TO POST] in the title so EVERYONE on the editorial staff will know it’s finished and can be scheduled.
Sorry never got a chance to write the SCOTUS pick roundup. Got super busy over the last week and a half.
Honestly none of them are particularly bad or particularly great when it comes to libertarianism. The closest we’ll get to “good” would be Kethledge. Barrett doesn’t have enough of a legislative history to judge her on, but she clerked for Scalia, so you can expect something similar out of her (which means deference to the Constitution unless it’s a Republican issue like the 4th Amendment). Kavanaugh clerked for Kennedy (and there are rumors that Kennedy became comfortable with retiring when Kavanaugh was added to the potential list, and there are even sketchier rumors that Kennedy was promised that Kavanaugh would be the pick when he decided to retire). He’s got a pretty long record on the DC Circuit and generally leans right (again like Scalia), but apparently Trump hates him because he worked for Dubya (plus he worked on Clinton’s impeachment). Kethledge’s record is pretty much equal to what Gorsuch’s record was before he became a SCOTUS justice.
Dark horse is Amul Thapar, who’s probably the best of the four but won’t get it. Unfortunately Justice Willett isn’t getting nominated no matter how much I beg.
None of it matters because even if the pick becomes a regular on the “right” side of the equation I’m convinced that the Chief Justice is going to slide left to take Kennedy’s role as the “centrist”, as he did in the Obamacare vote.
My money is on Barrett, because Trump knows what it will look like when the Dems start to trash a woman and a Catholic woman at that.
I think so too. Then he can put anyone he wants on when RBG goes away.
We already know it because it already played out last year. Remember Feinstein’s questioning of her (“are you, or have you ever been a Catholic”). She’d probably cause the greatest fight. My $ is on Kethledge for various reasons, not the least of which is he’s the likeliest to be approved in September and not have a fight that’s going to last into the November elections.
But what a treat it would be for Trump to have rabid leftists frothing over putting a woman on the court when normal people go out to vote in November.
Wait, you’re saying that justices rule using political considerations and not principle?
/knocked over with a feather
Nothing on Hardiman?
WSJ is betting on him as the nominee.
Dark horse is Amul Thapar, who’s probably the best of the four but won’t get it.
Trump’s probably saving him to replace RBG. The Democrats will go into utter hysterics if Trump gets to name a sixth conservative to the court, so he’d be wise to save the historic first card and the race card to play for shielding in such an event.
(sigh) I wish Janice Rogers Brown was 10 years younger. That would have been epic on so many fronts.
It seems it will be Kavanaugh:
Lucky Minnesoda bastard.
I’d take a chomping to my forearm for the settlement that this guy is going to get. Especially since the St. Paul K-9 unit has already stepped on its dick a few times in the last year or so.
I know that drunk me at 1:40 AM would not do well being ordered to lay on the ground “for my own safety”.
I don’t know who is training those dogs, but it’s time to move on. I’m not a fan, but I’ve been to a number of Schutzhund events and those dogs don’t need a fucking electric collar.
Weak shit. Sorry, St. Paul taxpayers – you’re gonna bleed over this one.
Exactly. Guests are amazed how non-aggressive my GSDs are because of their experiences with other poorly trained and bred ones. I always remind them that a protection dog should not be an aggressive dog. A million times so if attack-trained. That turns a protection dog into an extremely dangerous dog.
My wife’s cousin has a Belgian malinois that has turned ridiculously dangerous. Dangerous as in it has bit several innocent people, including mulitple children. Last month, my wife visited her family with our 3-year-old daughter and went outside for fresh air. The cousin’s family didn’t realize and let the dog on the other side of the house. Her uncle ran screaming at them to get inside as fast they can because he can’t control the dog. Of course the family just says he’s protective but a sweet dog.
That dog would have eaten lead if I been present and finally ended this scourge. I was very angry at my wife for letting her CCP lapse.
Infuriating. I did a shit-ton of obedience work with my GSD specifically because she was such a capable protector. One of my good friends was a K9 cop. His dog lived inside the house with his family and was just like any other pet, until it was time to go to work. Great dog and great handler.
It’s true for most any dog – it is only as dangerous as it is allowed to be by its owner.
Hey man, sorry to read about your doggie earlier. The only bad part of owning a dog.
As we did last time, we’re giving her one last day to see if we get a miracle. She’s getting her drugs on IV right now and maybe, just maybe, her condition improves enough that she will be able to eat again and regain enough strength to stand up and walk around.
I’m not expecting that, but I’m willing to go another grand in the hole to find out. Feels like I owe her at least that much. It’s only money anyway right?
Been there. Spent the money and never ever regretted it. They are more family than family.
Yes indeed.
This time is harder than last time because Lucy had been in declining health for a while. Knew she wasn’t going to have all that much time left. This time, on the other hand, has been very sudden. Baby is only 10, and just last Wednesday seemed to be perfectly fine. Four days later and she’s on death’s door. Would have likely died Sunday if we had waited to see our regular vet yesterday morning instead of going to the emergency vet and paying through the fucking nose.
I’ve taken a dog to the emergency vet, paid through the nose, and lost him anyway. The guild you’d feel if you didn’t try would be horrible.
Exactly, man. That’s probably what is going to happen here too, and tomorrow I’ll probably be digging the second grave in 5 months, but if I didn’t give her the chance to recover I’d never forgive myself. Particularly making the decision over money. I don’t have the money to pay for this, and that’s not a minor consideration. I can’t keep her in the doggie hospital indefinitely. Still had to give her one more day before making the call.
What Mad Scientist said. Been there, done that, tore me up. I feel ya.
I don’t know what we’re going to do when our current dog (who is absolutely amazing) finally steps on a rainbow.
I’m sorry about your dog buddy. It feels like losing a family member whenever their time comes.
Thanks, Spartan. I appreciate your kind words.
I know you said that you were probably putting off getting another dog, but If you change your mind let me know. I have a GSD pup that I’m trying to place in the right home. There would be no charge for him.
That might be something we should consider. The expense was one of the reasons we figured it would be a while, since we’re going to have approximately $2800 to pay off, and that’s if she DOESN’T make it. If she does, you can tack on another $600 or so for bladder surgery to remove some stones, a little something extra we found out in the course of the rest of this.
You’re in Virginia, correct? So maybe that would work.
I’m with SSD, I’m wiping “sweat” off my face……

Shoot me an email. It’s my Glib handle@gmail.com. No hypen or space, all one word.
That’s a lot to pay off, but damn if it doesn’t show how much you care about her.
We paid several thousand over my Doberman’s life trying to treat her horrible skin condition. She died way too young as well at 8 years old. It’s a really hard thing.
A lot to pay off indeed. We opened a Care Credit account, which gives us 6 months interest free. At that point, whatever balance is left we’ll put on the credit card because the rate with CC is enormous, like 28%.
Best woofers ever.

a protection dog should not be an aggressive dog
We have a mini-Aussie. Twenty pounds soaking wet, total sweetheart, shy around strangers. One day we went to the cleaners to pick up some clothes & they couldn’t find one of my wife’s blouses. Did the usual when something is missing (‘are you sure you dropped it off?’, etc). Wife was PISSED when she came back to the truck, got in slammed the door, and was just seething.
While she’s telling me about it, one of the employees came out to say that they found it after all. Wife opens the door & gets out, doesn’t notice that our furball got out too. She ran in after my wife & was ready to confront whatever it was that’s a threat to her people.
Where are the fathers of the kids already bitten ?
That animal should have already been put down.
It has clearly lost its place in the pack hierarchy.
Right? I don’t know really know the details, but I think at least one kid was paid off. Another might have be an illegal immigrant and the family didn’t want to risk anything. They lived in El Paso or San Antonio at the time on that one.
All of my wife’s family is terrified of it.
I drive by my cities “K-9 Training Facility” (which is apparently popular with the LEO class, there are always cruisers from all over the state there) I daydream about replacing their sign with one in the same font and colors but saying “4th Amendment Curtailment Facility”
Lay on the ground for his own safety? Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only thing there threatening his safety in the first place was the police.

Snubnose Revolvers: Tried-and-True for Concealed-Carry Use
Wheel guns are cool.
‘Swhat I carry. I figure if I need more than 6 shots, I’m probably dead anyway.
Which one?
Taurus (yeah, yeah) .38 special. I just like the feel of it and it’s easy to carry. I’ve thought about upgrading to a .357 but I can’t shoot them for shit without at least a 4 inch barrel, and I’d rather not lug that around.
I read a lot of Taurus hate but everyone I know IRL who has one likes it a lot.
Personally I think there’s a lot of a groupthink on that one. I’ve never met anyone who’s had a Taurus and had problems with it, but everyone seems to know someone else who says they did. And I’m sure there are people who have. Still, with a revolver, just seems like there isn’t much they could have screwed up.
Up to 15,000 Boers, descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa, are planning to move to Russia amid rising violence stemming from government plans to expropriate their land, according to the delegation.
