    Maybe I’m just mean, but I expected more out of that football to the head clip.

    1. C. Anacreon

      Yes. The Brady Bunch even managed to create a whole sitcom episode around Marcia getting a football to the head.

      1. Playa Manhattan

        She had a deviated septum!

        1. C. Anacreon

          I was at a conference this week where I actually met someone named George Glass.
          I had a hard time keeping a straight face and not saying to him “so you really do exist!”
          It was a meeting of hospital executives so it probably wasn’t the best time to ask if he’d been teased about the Brady Bunch before, so I just smiled and looked away.

          1. George Glass showed up at the end of A Very Brady Sequel.

          2. C. Anacreon

            Those movies’ Jan was much uglier than the TV Jan, who I liked better than TV Marcia.

            But I’ve always been a sucker for strawberry blondes with freckles, I even ended up marrying one.

          3. [Imagines Chet married to Pippi Longstocking]

          4. C. Anacreon

            Pippi was a redhead, not a strawberry blonde. But those braids were intriguing.

        2. I always knew she was a deviant.

      1. Sean

        That was a decent hit.
        ??

    2. AlmightyJB

      She handled it like a pro.

      1. Count Potato

        Would.

  2. Spudalicious

    I Hurricanes.

    First.

    1. Spudalicious

      Damn.

      1. Sean

      2. C. Anacreon

        You didn’t hurry your hurricane line quite enough to beat Dr. Who this time.

        1. Spudalicious

          Dr. Who is gay. I’d rather be first loser than gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

          1. Playa Manhattan

            Can’t it be both?

          2. SP

            Oh, so you’ve seen Spud and OMWC together in the produce section of Berkeley Bowl.

          3. Spudalicious

            Little did they know the barbarians were inside the gate.

      3. Tres Cool

        Worst pain there is…..

  3. C. Anacreon

    What a slow day for comments.
    This is like the worst chat room ever.

    1. Lackadaisical

      And the posters all suck too. 😛

      1. Spudalicious

        Shut up, Tulpa.

        1. MikeS

          That’s exactly what a Tulpa sock would say

          1. Spudalicious

            Looks like we’ve got a Russian bot Tulpa here.

      2. juris imprudent

        They are much better commenting from work.

    2. Sean

      A/s/l?

      1. 11/F/FBI Sexual Crimes Division Long Beach

    3. Playa Manhattan

      Good weather. I’m headed out to the pool again. Beer refill.

      1. C. Anacreon

        Yesterday was beautiful in the Bay Area, and as we had been dressed up for a friend’s son’s Bar Mitzvah in the morning, some old friends suggested we go from there to your old hangout, Berkeley, and get cocktails at the balcony bar of the Claremont Hotel. It was really great to sit out in the sun, feel the warm breeze, look at the glorious panoramic view of five bridges, and keep the Manhattans on the rocks coming.

        1. Playa Manhattan

          Back in those days, the only time I drank there was if someone’s parents were visiting (and buying).

          I went back for a wedding about 5-6 years ago. Ceremony at St. Clement’s, reception at the Claremont.

          There was definitely some funny business going on at that open bar. Worst hangover of my life, and it lasted for 3 days.

        2. But it’s still the Bay Area.

          1. Playa Manhattan

            How does that compare to… say…. one’s parent’s basement in upstate New York?

          2. MikeS

            Oh snap!

        3. JaimeRoberto, Public Intellectual

          There used to be a law preventing the sale of alcohol within 1 mile of the UC campus. According to my grandpa who grew up in Berkeley, depending on how you draw the line part of the Claremont was within 1 mile, part was outside, and the bar was in the part that was outside the 1 mile radius.

          1. Playa Manhattan

            Just retail liquor. There are/were bars close by.

            Rumor has it that the closest liquor store in Berkeley was 5,283 feet from campus.

            In practice, it didn’t really matter. Oakland is a few blocks away, and that’s where we got our liquor.

          2. JaimeRoberto, Public Intellectual

            You must be pretty old if you were there at the same time as my grandfather. The time period he was talking about was around 1915 when it first opened.

          3. Playa Manhattan

            She persisted.

            The rumors were still flying in the late 90s.

            I’m 39.

    4. Tres Cool

      Chat room?
      I thought this was farmersonly.com

  4. Juvenile Bluster

    Today in Insane People Twitter, we have far left idiocy versus far right idiocy.

    On the left, we have PETA: “Cow’s milk has long been a symbol used by white supremacists”, therefore you should go vegan. https://twitter.com/peta/status/1053073317786198022

    On the right, we have Benito Mussolini’s granddaughter threatening to sue everyone on Twitter for badmouthing her grandpa. You know, one of my favorite historical stories ever is about what happened to Mussolini. https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/europe/.premium-mussolini-s-granddaughter-sparks-online-war-1.6576542?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

    1. Playa Manhattan

      It’s called the PETA Principle for a reason. They do that shit because they get attention. Every. Single. Time.

      http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/17/the-toxoplasma-of-rage/

      1. Michael

        That guy’s head is more than twice the width of his neck. Not a very compelling advocate for veganism if you ask me.

        1. Michael

          Also, vegan infighting is exactly as sad as I thought it would be.

          1. Tres Cool

            I’ve said it before- when PETA takes their fight to Dearborn, MI and protests in front of some halal butcher? I may pay attention for a moment.

        2. Luther Baldwin

          That guy’s head is more than twice the width of his neck.

          With all the cognitive dissonance rattling around in there, I’m surprised it hasn’t exploded.

    2. Raphael

      What bout Chocolate Milk or Strawberry Milk? Erm, I mean the two milks of color.

    3. Count Potato

      “Cows’ milk has long been a symbol used by white supremacists. One more reason to #DitchDairy.”

      That’s retarded. Not only because it isn’t true. But what color do they they think coconut/soy/almond/whatever-the-fuck milk is?

      1. CPRM

        I’ve been saying it for years, Whale’s Milk.

        1. Count Potato

          Not vegan though.

    4. Don Escaped Texas

      Beer, milk, oatmeal FTW…..urp!

      / North Sea uber specimen (me)

  5. Rufus the Monocled

    She kept her cool. Good for her.

    1. Rufus the Monocled

      After a Schneider Weisse Tap 7 and a couple of shots of bourbon, that took me 11 minutes to type.

      1. C. Anacreon

        Couple more shots of whiskey, I’m going down to Minglewood.

        1. deadhead

          Yes!

      2. MikeS

        That sounds delicious

        *adds to must try list*

    2. Sean

      She’s used to taking balls to the head.

      1. Spudalicious

        But typically to the chin.

  6. Mr Lizard

    That Cleveland game seemed like a race to let everyone down.

    1. Rufus the Monocled

      The Eagles. Wtf?

      1. Juvenile Bluster

        Damn Super Bowl tricking us into having hope. Back to Negadelphia it is.

      2. creech

        8-8 if they are lucky. Hubris, jacked up opponents, key injuries etc.

      3. Clears out the NFC East, plus I had the Panthers on the money line. Yay, Superbowl hangover!

        1. BakedPenguin

          Good call! Almost 2 for 1. I’m with Rufus, don’t know how they f’d up that lead.

          1. Dude, when I saw the score at the third quarter I just assumed I was gonna be out ten bucks.

    2. Luther Baldwin

      Bills get destroyed by Colts, 37-5

      I am shocked.

      1. Lackadaisical

        Hard to believe the bills lost.

    3. Nephilium

      Was at a gaming bar for a friends birthday during the overtime for that game, someone asked [about the Browns QB] “Is he going to throw up?” The response came back, “So are the rest of us.”

      Fucking new Clevelanders.

  7. Tres Cool

    While I drunkenly await Bengals kick-off (fuck Prime Time games), Im sure everyone has seen this gem, it lasts 45 minutes or something.

    Here’s a TL;DR version .

      1. Spudalicious

        It’s just not my day…

        1. Your month, or even your year?

          1. Fuck, wrong sitcom

          2. Sean

            Little known fact Normy…

            Drunk people make mistakes.

      2. Tres Cool

        I always loved where the angry woman shouts “he got weed! he got weed!”

      3. Rufus the Monocled

        Man that was funny.

        The woman at the end…lol.

    1. AlmightyJB

      Good advice.

  8. The Late P Brooks

    Oh, look. 60 Minutes is on. Where’s the remote?

    1. C. Anacreon

      My wife, who has always watched 60 Minutes regularly and had not been a Trump supporter, was actively yelling at Lesley Stahl during the interview last week. She felt the questions were often out of line and Stahl “never would have treated Obama that way”.

    2. Luther Baldwin

      I’m watching the Rangers do what they do.

      What channel is 60 Minutes on?

      1. MikeS

        OPN – Old People Network

      2. Luther Baldwin

        LOL I walk into the kitchen for 5 minutes of mise en place and the Rangers go down two more goals. Holy shit they suck.

        1. Lackadaisical

          Can’t be as bad as the Sabres.

          I’ve gotten to the point where whenever we draft a decent player for any of our teams I start to feel bad.

  9. Sean

    Ugh. The “new Who” is on. Tonight is the last episode we’re watching. It’s soooo woke…it’s about Rosa Parks and racism.
    Done.
    Oh and they all suck as actors.
    ??

    1. Luther Baldwin

      it’s about Rosa Parks

      I saw that in the cable TV guide and rolled my eyes. Still recording it… and still haven’t watched any of this season.

      1. Sean

        1 meh
        2 ugh
        3 blech

        She was *barely* tolerable on Broadchurch. She is flat out bad here. You’ve been warned.

        1. Don Escaped Texas

          totes believable on Broadchurch…..whatchutalkinbout, Willis?

    2. Tres Cool

      Tom Baker. Christopher Eccleston (maybe), David Tennant, and Catherine Tate (cause still would).
      Peter Capaldi was an abomination, and it only fell apart from there.
      That is all.

      1. Sean

        *hands Tres a glass full of mid-shelf bourbon*

        Close enough.

      2. Pan Zagloba

        Eccelstone is the only New Doctor I like. Fucking Tennant, he’s not a bad actor but he got handed retarded scripts and played them horribly. “I am WACKY! But also MURDERING BADASS! And now I pine for Rose”

        First Four handled the whole “wacky and incredibly dangerous when he gets serious” so much better than any of the new lot.

        1. Luther Baldwin

          “AND I SHOUT A LOT! AND TALK TOO FAST TO FOLLOW WTF I’M SAYING AND/OR DOING!”

          Really sick of that.

          1. Luther Baldwin

            Oh, and not just Tennant, the fookin’ lot of ’em, even Ecclestone once in a while.

      3. Of the new Doctors, I think Eccleston is criminally underrated. I also grew to really like Matt Smith, although Tennant’s always gonna be my favorite. I threw in the towel when Capaldi came on, not because of him but because the series itself had just become so damn stupid.

        As for the old guys, I was always a Jon Pertwee fan.

        1. Luther Baldwin

          3, 4, and 5 were all fantastic in their own ways.

          1. Yeah, that was a good run of actors. I liked Sylvester McCoy, but more because I just like the actor than think he’s a particularly good casting choice.

      4. Grummun

        Tom Baker. Christopher Eccleston (maybe), David Tennant, and Catherine Tate (cause still would).

        [ Close up on Tom Baker. Crappy video effect fade to close up of Peter Davison. ]

        “Who the hell is this clown?” ::turns off TV::

      5. Luther Baldwin

        I liked Capaldi at first… I thought he was going to bring a hint of gravitas or something that went missing after Eccleston by at the very least not acting like a 12-year-old but boy was I wrong.

        1. Tres Cool

          I always thought Hugh Laurie would be a decent Doctor, if he didn’t have to wade through milquetoast scripts

          1. Luther Baldwin

            I know Chibnall from having written some of the poorer Torchwood stories.

            Ponder on that.™

        2. So I thought Matt Smith played the role a little more seriously, maybe a little darker, and I thought that Capaldi was going to take it further in that direction, but I really think to a large extent the writing doesn’t give these guys anything to work with. I liked Steven Moffat but I think the new series started to go downhill once he took over as executive producer.

          1. Luther Baldwin

            I liked Steven Moffat but I think the new series started to go downhill once he took over as executive producer.

            Yep. Big let down.

          2. Tres Cool

            Matt Smith started to really suck once he was pipin’ Karen Gillan.

            That is all.

          3. I mean, that would distract the hell out of me, that’s for sure.

    3. Count Potato

      I agree, they are going full SJW. It’s just too much. You would think with the first female doctor, they would avoid politics as much as possible to show it can work as well as a male doctor. But they are doing the opposite.

  10. Mythical Libertarian Woman

    Remember how I used to post derp from YA authors? I stopped because it got to be TOO MUCH derp, an impassable swamp of derp. But today is so derpy that it makes me want to do a whole post on this website that just embeds every single derpy tweet from YA authors over a 24-hour span. It would just go down and down and down…

    1. juris imprudent

      Speaking of the derp-baby in the swamp – whatever happened to Derpotologist?

      1. Pan Zagloba

        He had a goodbye post prior to his deployment some months ago. Hopefully he’s all right among the Klingons.

        1. Mythical Libertarian Woman

          Man, is everybody in the military?

          1. Nephilium

            Nope. I knew better then to join up with my personality.

      2. Lackadaisical

        Basic training/military stuff, or was that someone else?

    2. SP

      We would run that post.

      1. MikeS

        And we would read and enjoy it.

  11. juris imprudent

    With an abundance of ambivalence, I note that the Chargers are 5-2.

  12. The Late P Brooks

    The unbearable smugness of the New York intellectual

    And how do you put an official ethical system in place without it seeming like you’re telling everyone how to behave? Who gets to decide those rules anyway, setting a moral path for the industry and — considering tech companies’ enormous power — the world.

    Like I said, adult supervision. Or maybe, better still, Silicon Valley itself has to grow up.

    Blah blah blah Silicon Valley needs ethical guidance, because something or other. And telling other people how to be ethical is fine, as long as the definition of ethical behavior is approved by members of the NYT editorial board.

    A Chief Ethics Officer will keep those hooligan frat boys in line.

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      Ms. Swisher is neither from New York, nor is she an intellectual.

    2. Mr Lizard

      “And how do you put an official ethical system in place…”

      Orbital bombardment or gtfo, don’t pussy around!!!

      1. straffinrun

        BTW, is it true the sun is flat?

    3. Luther Baldwin

      A Chief Ethics Officer will keep those hooligan frat boys in line.

      Um… HR already fills this role.

  13. There’s something about that Redskins win that just seems so damned typical. They beat the Cowboys at FedEx and still manage to do it in such a way as to be totally unconvincing. Bonus points for building up a convincing early lead only to let it dwindle away in the second half.

    1. Count Potato

      The Cowboys totally played that last set of downs wrong. They should have spiked the ball. If they did, they probably would have gone into overtime.

      1. Don Escaped Texas

        True story: had lunch at the bar of a very nice restaurant in north Dallas; sat next to Jerry Jr and convincingly pretended to not know who he was for an hour. He was amazing: I could tell it made him boil inside, but he was a perfect gentleman and betrayed it not by anything he said or how he said it….but my how his temple veins throbbed.

  14. DenverJ

    I have mad skills. Example: I am currently, simultaneously, ruining both a pot of brown rice, and a pot of pinto beans!

  15. The Late P Brooks

    The other night I came home and turned on the teevee. The tail end of a samurai movie called 13 Assassins was on. I’m definitely going to watch it from beginning to end, one of these nights.

    1. DenverJ

      It’s the 5th sequel to The Seven Samurai

    2. It is absolutely worth it. It’s on a short list of films I can watch twice in a row, back-to-back viewings.

  16. The Late P Brooks

    Oh, and- 13 Assassins > Pluto > roku

  17. The Late P Brooks

    Ms. Swisher is neither from New York, nor is she an intellectual.

    Well, sorry, I cannot be tasked to keep tabs on all the sob sisters and agony aunts employed by the NYT.

  18. Don Escaped Texas

    Founder’s Porter: 9/10 (scary tasty as in I might never leave the house again but to go buy more)

    Norm MacDonald on NetFlix: I’m up to episode seven and can’t recommend it at all unless you love the Norm trainwreck. Norm’s trying to interview reasonable people (M. Night Shammalamma, Dave Letterman)….fairly unbearable. But the first one is David Spade, chairman emeritus of the god-we-love-Norm-but-he-just-sucks-the-life-out-of-you-trying-to-just-meet-for-breakfast club…that’s almost watchable. Like all shows, he needs to lose the sidekick.

    I love Norm….decent neighbor awkward funny in that Fargo way…but I can’t recommend him to innocent people.

    1. Nephilium

      Founder’s Porter is a criminally underrated beer. Amazingly drinkable, and so good. Bell’s Porter is also solid, as is the Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter.

      1. Don Escaped Texas

        I really like Bell’s and New Holland’s Poet

        Now Norm’s got Michael Keaton….more trainwreck. Keaton seems very intelligent, the principle ingredient in funny.

        1. Nephilium

          So far, I’ve only made it through the first episode of the Netflix Norm MacDonald show. Netflix has been pumping out too much good stuff I want to watch this month. Currently working through the newest season of Daredevil, and still need to get through the Haunting of Hill House.

  19. The Late P Brooks

    Like, OMG, right?

    Imagine a society in which everyone more or less agrees with you.

    ——–

    This is the insular world in which tens of thousands of Americans who use conservative political apps are experiencing the midterm election season.

    Amid a chorus of conservative complaints that Facebook and YouTube have become hostile to right-leaning views — and as those social media giants take steps to limit what they see as abusive or misleading viral content — a few Republican consultants have begun building a parallel digital universe where their political clients set the rules.

    ——–

    The apps deliver curated partisan news feeds on what are effectively private social media platforms, free from the strictures and content guidelines imposed by Silicon Valley giants. Some allow supporters to comment on posts or contribute their own, with less risk that their posts will be flagged as offensive or abusive.

    Da noive o’ dem guys.

    They’re just a bunch of pissy pants snowflakes who can’t deal with the truth, as served up to them by their intellectual betters.

    1. Akira

      a few Republican consultants have begun building a parallel digital universe where their political clients set the rules.

      Waaaah, we started censoring conservative/libertarian speech on our platforms, and now they went and made their own platform where we can’t censor them! Waaaaaaah!

    2. Luther Baldwin

      Imagine a society in which everyone more or less agrees with you.

      Holy lack of self-awareness, Batman!

    3. Bob Boberson

      Some allow supporters to comment on posts or contribute their own, with less risk that their posts will be flagged as offensive or abusive.

      So what they are saying is we need common sense glib control?

      1. Raphael

        Too bad the NGA will just lobby with the Congress critters and ensure only more people die from offensive/abusive posts.

    4. wdalasio

      It’s pretty much the standard progressive complaint.

      They made academia utterly hostile to conservatives and libertarians. When conservatives and libertarians complained,, they were told that it was the marketplace of ideas. If conservatism and libertarianism couldn’t complete, that was their problem. So, conservatives and libertarians migrated to think tanks. Now the progressives complain that the think tanks have more influence than their academic peers.

      They made sure journalism only reflected left-of-center perspectives. When conservatives and libertarians complained,, progressives responded that, if conservatives and libertarians believed in the free market so much, they could go and start their own venues. Conservatives went out and did just that. The result is called Fox News. We all know how progressives react to that one.

      Now, we’re seeing the same with social media. How dare conservatives and libertarians migrate to new sites? But, it’s only happening because the left is doing everything in its power to shut the right out of social media.

      Ultimately, there should be a lesson here. Deplatforming ideas you don’t like doesn’t work. Just because you silence them in your own bubble, doesn’t mean those ideas don’t retain currency. A market remains for the ideas you don’t like and the demand will get met. The only thing deplatforming accomplishes is creating a shadow market in which your own sensibilities have no sway.

      1. CPRM

        ‘market’ ‘shadow’ ‘deplatforming’ I see all your racist dog whistles! and I will scram at they sky until you stop this nonsense! RHEEEEEEEEE!

      2. Akira

        They made sure journalism only reflected left-of-center perspectives. When conservatives and libertarians complained,, progressives responded that, if conservatives and libertarians believed in the free market so much, they could go and start their own venues.

        Not to mention the snarky line of bullshit, “Reality just has a left-wing bias!!!”

    1. Luther Baldwin

      I’m surprised they found time to advertise something other than cars or insurance companies.

      1. Tres Cool

        Im not a fan of legislation or gov’t involvement. But if someone introduced a bill that every hour had to have new commercial content? I could be on board.

        1. Luther Baldwin

          If I see that smug prick from Chevy and his “punking” one more time I’m gonna blow a gasket.

          1. Juvenile Bluster

            BUT THE CHEVY TRAVERSE WON JD POWER AWARDS FOR DEPENDABILITY 3 YEARS IN A ROW!

          2. Gustave Lytton

            That snivelly faced whiny voiced guy is annoying.

          3. CPRM

            but enough about The Hat.

          4. Luther Baldwin

            I have to mute it.

          5. I really hate the Ford truck commercials with their kinetic typography.

        2. Bob Boberson

          I cord cut a long time ago. Now when I stay in hotels I’m driven absolutely bonkers by network tv commercials. Also the way networks have figured out that once they’ve hooked you into a movie they can pack commercials in at 5 minute intervals makes me boil with rage…..for a second, then I just shut it off and watch Hulu on my phone.

          1. Akira

            I felt the same way, but I’ve recently read a few books on advertising (I’m trying to get into freelance copywriting/advertising) and now I actually find it interesting to watch commercials and spot the various tactics they’re employing.

            Yea I know, I’m a weirdo.

    Has anyone ever seen Graham Norton and John Inman together? I think not!

        More for me.

  23. Spudalicious

    Damn, this Mahone kid could have a future in the NFL.

    1. Tres Cool

      Just like Manziel

      1. Spudalicious

        I don’t think Mahone is a drunk.

      2. CPRM

        Just like Manziel

        obligatory.

  24. CPRM

    Jamal Khashoggi! His life matters! This the first time Saudi Arabia has done anything shady, and it stops here!

  25. Luther Baldwin

    Shrimp Chicken fettuccine alfredo from the recipe someone shared earlier. 9/10. Would cook again.

    1. CPRM

      Imagining that in Alec Baldwin’s voice sounds so…sexy, is this what it’s like to be gay? I could get behind that. (phrasing!)

    2. Tres Cool

      thats good stuff…Im a fan

      1. Luther Baldwin

        I even overcooked the chicken and the parmesan didn’t quite melt properly but still tasty af. So yeah, I have to cook it again so I can get it right.

    So, what government grants can troll farmer get? I’m just looking to take on the family business. It’s a small family owned troll farm, organic of course.

    1. MikeS

      Keep your little troll fingers off my government grants!

      1. CPRM

        little troll fingers

        I’ve been confused about what size trolls are for a long time. They are big enough to catch hobbits and dwarves in a net, bit small enough to be adversaries to David The Gnome, and then they were midgets in suits for the Troll movies. How do I know which strain of troll to raise, organically of course?

        1. MikeS

          I would raise (organically of course) the largest strain that your orphans can safely control.

          1. CPRM

            But I read Micro-trolls are all the rage now. So many decisions, good thing it’s all on the government dime. I’d hate to actually lose money because I made poor decisions. ‘Free’ markets FTW!

        As always, the market was wrong before and has over-corrected since.

      Good, you don’t think UNLV is overrated, next week my entire check is betting on UNLV!

    So, when I’m at work and can’t comment here I read Yahoo stories, and all the replies are about a forensic doctor with a bonesaw being there for Keshogi’s death. For people who have followed this more closely, does this come from any other source than Turkey, who would be all too happy to fuck over the Sauds?

    1. Don Escaped Texas

      If the Turks had any such evidence, they would show it, not hint at it.

      Just like Trump’s Kenyan birth certificate: a bald and obvious lie.

      1. CPRM

        wait, Trump was born in Kenya too? This is a story that needs to be told! Fire up the troll farm!

  29. Count Potato

    I have “Pod Save America” on HBO on in the background while I’m waiting for The Deuce.

    Holy fuck, it’s the most insufferable prog bullshit ever.

    1. CPRM

      You’re live glibbing your deuce, gross dude.

      1. Count Potato

        Que?

      2. Soyboy

        Well, now I’m interested. How many courics is it?

  30. Galt1138

    Has anyone seen this post from Michael Yon?

    Curious what you Glibs think.

    P.S. Sorry it’s been so long. September, and especially October with post season MLB, are extremely busy at work.

    1. CPRM

      Good to see you. See my post above, about so many people taking Turkey’s word on what happened. Though I’m no middle east scholar, in all the years we’ve covered shit up for the house of Saud, this really seems like the most inoffensive thing, and from most accounts from the most liberal person to be in charge there since the house of Saud was put into power, but somehow, because Erdogan says shit, WAR!

    2. mr simple

      Sounds about right. I’m just amazed at the level of naive, faux outrage around this story. People act like this guy was some hero, not that he deserved to he murdered or anything, and that we can take the Turks word for it, because they’re so squeaky clean. Meanwhile, at least three journalists trying to uncover corruption in eastern Europe have been murdered with sloppy cover ups in recent months. Where is there other over that?

    3. Lackadaisical

      Saudi Arabia is slowly but surely becoming more civilized. A long, painful process. Now is not the time to throw a tantrum and sink the boat. Firm but reasonable pressure is enough to cause incremental changes.

      I think this is a good point, and also part of why people are throwing a shitfit over this particular instance. There are many people who prefer SA to stay the way they are.

      1. Galt1138

        Yep, that’s pretty much where I’m at. Good replies. Thanks, Glibs!

  31. Vacuous Insight

    It would be fun to do some faux outrage articles. “Our culture’s obsession with bacon is problematic. Adding bacon to a wide assortment of recipes act as microagressions against the Islamic community. There have been instances where islamaphobic white supremacists add bacon to most of their meals to make it clear the Islam community is not welcome here. This trend is problematic. America should be welcoming of all cultures, not just traditional Western values. We need to condemn the white supremacists and stop using bacon and other pork products to show the islam community that they are welcome here and that the pork eating white supremacists are a small minority that do not represent our values.”

    1. CPRM

      (((OMWC))) keeps rejecting my articles about bacon, not sure what his problem is.

      1. Vacuous Insight

        I have a German math Prof for one of my classes. It is tempting to ask “is that the final solution?” whenever he finishes a proof.

        1. CPRM

          I don’t get it /prog

          1. Vacuous Insight

            I made a swastika joke in the class I teach last week. We were reviewing graph translations. One example from the book had a line starting from the origin to (3,3) then from there to (4,2). I then drew a reflection along the y-axis and a reflection along the x-axis. After drawing the two reflections, I turned to the students and said “okay I’m not going to finish drawing this” then I quickly erased the board. I think only a few of my students got the joke.

    2. Akira

      Heck, given that numerous people have written total phoney-baloney “social science” articles and gotten them published in respected journals in those disciplines, I’m pretty sure you could get that printed some place or another.

      Maybe you could also write one entitled, “How Menstruation Disproportionately Affects Women“.

    3. I did one back during the government shutdown, but haven’t done one again. Maybe it’s time.
