Senate Sex Prosecutor: What else have you seen with Osburn?
Brettly: Another thing, hairy it goes upright like a man it hath only 2 legges.
Senate Sex Prosecutor: Did you not see Sarah Good upon Elizabeth Hubbard, last Saturday?
Brettly: I did see her set a wolfe upon her to afflict her, the persons with this maid did say that she did complain of a wolfe. She further saith that shee saw a cat with good at another time.
I know it was a long time ago, but if you can remember the original allegation against Kavanaugh, I honestly can’t help but think it was based on this:
I mean, it’s got the sloppy drunk guy, the kiss, the boob grope, something that could be called “trying to tear her clothes off,” and then he leaves. She even looks like the girl in the scene!
33 years later, Mare Winningham keeps Rob Lowe off SCOTUS for making fun of her proto-Spanx.
It’s been an eventful past 12 hours. A server crash brought the site down and Sloopy managed to get himself into… let’s say “an adventure.” We’ll have the GoFundMe site for his bail up shortly, complete with sad-eyed pictures of his kids. And puppies. OK, he doesn’t own puppies, but it helps sell it. Anyway, I was called in at the last moment, so my snarky comments will be a bit truncated in the interests of getting this post up timely.
And a major THANK YOU to the Glibs’ all-female technology crew (SP and WebDom) who got us back up and running last night. At least one of you will be sexually harassed by me as a reward. Hint: WebDom is safe.
The big birthday today is the pride of Texas, candidate Beto O’Rourke. And an appropriate song for the occasion. Also, it’s the birthday of my third-favorite poet, T.S. Eliot, brilliant illustrator Winsor McCay, and OG George Raft.
I made a key mistake last night. I spent ten minutes watching CNN. Very key mistake. This story was all they wanted to talk about, but at least they featured guests on both sides of the issue: is Donald Trump literally Hitler? Or is Donald Trump just a laughingstock? I turned off the TV and found something more interesting to do: trim my toenails.
In sports, this season for the Vikings has been nuts. Literally.
I’m not quite sure what to make of this. I guess it’s just another consequence of our societal glee about putting as many people in cages as possible. But really, the policy is altruistic. Really.
“Offenders in Virginia have died of drug overdoses while inside our prisons. It’s our job to keep the offenders and staff as safe as we can,” Kinney said.
In comments to the Tribune, Araujo denied calling the prosecutor a “bitch” and said he “doubts” he’d ever made sexual advances toward her. “I just thought it was weird,” he told the paper. “I don’t know why she treats me like a stranger. I’ve been in this building five years and she always ignores me.”
On first read, I honestly thought this was an Onion story.
“Open to me,” Pie whispered. “Open to me and I will show you such things that will make a penis waggled in your face will seem like dew settling on poisoned wildflowers.”
In the closest thing she’s had to a press briefing in nearly a month, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders sat down with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos to discuss the sexual assault allegations against President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. The White House, Sanders said, would be open to the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing testimony from Deborah Ramirez, the second woman to come forward about Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual misconduct.
“I’ll have the Secret Service pick you the new issue of Richie Rich the next time they go on a McDonald’s run,” the hair said, dangling from a faucet over the roiling stew of self-tanner, Diet Coke drool, greasy McNugget farts, back skin, moisturizer, prostatic fluid, sweet Sildenafil sweat, and the rainbow remains of a glitter bath bomb.
“I like that kid. He’s got class,” Donald said. He groped around the side of the tub until he found the remote control and turned on E!.
Drawn and written by Aminder Dhaliwal, the book asks the question of what happens when all men go extinct. Unlike Y: The Last Man and other similar works, Woman World doesn’t focus on wide conflict or the outbreak of violence; riots and panic did ensue, but readers join the story after all that and jump into a world where women just exist without prior constraints. Characters are shown in small, welcoming communities that are more focused on figuring out what this new version of the world looks like rather than trying to conquer anything or fight for resources. Very few of the characters remember a time when men existed, and as they’ve been going extinct for some time, none of them remember a world dominated by them. This lack of conflict allows the book to focus on humor and characterization instead of overplayed tropes about what happens when the world is made up entirely of women.
This isn’t to say that the book is simple or even easy. Much of the humor is rooted in asking questions about the world as it is today within this new context of a women-only existence. By taking these sometimes deeply troubling things and robbing them of context, it makes them either extraordinarily existential or deeply comical, sometimes both. One character’s annoyance at being unable to find any historical texts that feature female artists, scientists, or great thinkers is funny not because it’s not upsetting, but because in Woman World there are no men to repeat that crime. It’s a perfect demonstration of the tragedy plus time equals comedy equation.
“‘One character’s annoyance at being unable to find any historical texts that feature female artists, scientists, or great thinkers’” What is this shit?” the hat asked. “No books about chicks doing shit? Yeah, right. This is real thing. There’s not a one.”
“Go find me something to tweet about!” Donald roared, clustering his rubber duckies around himself defensively.
“No gang rape? Well, shit, I was finally warming up to little old Brettly Squeakyshoes,” the hat said.
As Washington braces for Thursday’s media frenzy, an even more ominous prospect hangs over the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court: a sinister allegation teased by Michael Avenatti that could explode Kavanaugh’s confirmation—or be another dud. Avenatti, after all, has developed something of a dubious reputation in the six months since he first entered (and quickly dominated) the national scene. His bare-knuckle defense of adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, relentless takedown of Michael Cohen, and undeniable talent for media, social and otherwise, have transformed him into a formidable opponent of Donald Trump and an unlikely Democratic presidential hopeful. It was Avenatti who first predicted that Cohen would be indicted, and Avenatti who later dumped records of Cohen’s suspicious bank activity online. But the ubiquitous “porn lawyer,” as Republicans have dubbed him, has also struck out on occasion. A mysterious CD or DVD containing visual evidence related to Trump’s relationship with Daniels was never released. His “three additional female clients” who he said were “paid hush money prior to the 2016 election” have yet to come forward. So it is with some hesitancy that Democrats are tiptoeing around Avenatti’s latest would-be bombshell: that he is representing another woman with “credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh” and what he described as “gang rape.”
One of the 65 women who signed a letter in defense of Judge Brett Kavanaugh right after he was accused of sexual assault was the butt of a cruel joke on his 1983 yearbook page, where he used her name and implied she was promiscuous.
The New York Times reports that the name of Renate Schroeder Dolphin, then a student at a Catholic girls’ school, appeared more than a dozen times in the yearbook, including a group photo of football players, including Kavanaugh, under the description “Renate Alumni.” Two classmates of Kavanaugh told the Times that the Renate mentions in the yearbook were part of the athletes’ “unsubstantiated boasting about their conquests.”
Kavanaugh’s lawyer said he and Dolphin shared a kiss while in high school. Dolphin denies it happened, but said she was hurt by the insinuation that she was promiscuous in high school.
For what it’s worth, and absent evidence or allegations to the contrary, I believe Brett Kavanaugh’s claim that he was a virgin through his teens. I believe it in part because it squares with some of the oddities I’ve had a hard time understanding about his alleged behavior: namely, that both allegations are strikingly different from other high-profile stories the past year, most of which feature a man and a woman alone. And yet both the Kavanaugh accusations share certain features: There is no penetrative sex, there are always male onlookers, and, most importantly, there’s laughter. In each case the other men—not the woman—seem to be Kavanaugh’s true intended audience. In each story, the cruel and bizarre act the woman describes—restraining Christine Blasey Ford and attempting to remove her clothes in her allegation, and in Deborah Ramirez’s, putting his penis in front of her face—seems to have been done in the clumsy and even manic pursuit of male approval. Even Kavanaugh’s now-notorious yearbook page, with its references to the “100 kegs or bust” and the like, seems less like an honest reflection of a fun guy than a representation of a try-hard willing to say or do anything as long as his bros think he’s cool. In other words: The awful things Kavanaugh allegedly did only imperfectly correlate to the familiar frame of sexual desire run amok; they appear to more easily fit into a different category—a toxic homosociality—that involves males wooing other males over the comedy of being cruel to women.
“”Toxic homosociality?”” the hat asked. “This word salad needs better dressing.”
We’re up and running at full speed this week. I had to spend most of my day dealing with the Nissan situation yesterday, but I managed to resolve it if not amicably, then at least favorably. Its was a typical trip for me to a car dealership where everyone at the end of the experience is exhausted but I drive away with a better deal than I should have. So now I can put that clusterfuck to rest. Thanks all for your prior advice on the matter.
Hey look, the Steelers won a game. They sure needed that. And on the diamonds, the winners were: New York (AL), Washington, Boston, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Colorado, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Oakland San Diego and the world champion Houston Astros. Colorado is a half-game behind St Louis for the last wild card spot. Everything else is settled with 5-6 games left. So get your popcorn and watch the NL Central and West scores as we come down the stretch.
Aside from “Corvette Summer,” his finest performance
Let’s see who was born on September 25th: Genius writer William Faulkner, communist “spy” Ethel Rosenberg, baseball play and sportscaster Phil Rizzuto, jazz musician Sam Rivers, TV personality Babbawa Wawlters, writer of children books Shel Silverstein, bluesman Booba Barnes, Sec Def Robert Gates, actor Michael Douglas, guitarist Onnie McIntyre, supermodel Cheryl Tiegs, actor Mark Hamill, equestrian novice Christopher Reeve, bassist Steven Severin, actor Michael Madsen, another supermodel Heather Locklear, actor and “rapper” Will Smith, and the ageless beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Its also the day on which the following occurred: there first printing press in North America went into use, Benedict Arnold turned, the US Congress proposed the Bill of Rights, Congress created the first all-black university (Howard), Columbia’s school of Journalism was founded…and has gone downhill ever since, Henry Ford announced an 8-hour a day-5 day work week…before there was a UAW, Germany firebombed Warsaw, “Doc” Duvalier won the Haitian presidency, Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” hit #1, “Evita” opened on Broadway, Nolan Ryan threw his fifth no-hitter, Antonin Scalia was appointed to the Supreme Court, Bruce Jenner changed his name, and Anthony Weiner was given 21 months in jail for being a pervert…but received nothing for having a shitload of classified information on the computer he was using to sext a kid pictures of his junk.
And that’s it! Now to…the links!
Nothing says “tolerant” like accosting a man and woman in a restaurant over politics.
If the GOP needed an event to rouse up the base and make TV ads with about how intolerant the hard left can be, then yesterday was their lucky day.
All those soft-commie rags in the EU that loved the Pope are starting to turn on him. Yeah, you can commie as hard as you want, but even (most of) those bastards will turn on you when you start ignoring and actively covering up child sexual abuse, as he has been accused of doing.
I’ve seen some frivolous lawsuits, but this one takes the cake! But since it is filed in California, I assume she’ll win a fat judgment or at least get a hefty settlement. (Had to use this link since the one cited isn’t in English.)
All of those claims were floated throughout the day by “sources with knowledge about the situation.” So you can count on them all being true, I suppose.
Supply SGT says you want links, eh? OK, I think we can get something here for you. You have submitted your requisition…right? Oh. Well… I think we can take care of this, just once, out of what we have on hand here. Just don’t say anything about this, right.
So, there you go. Uh, should you happen to come across any stray links, you know, in future…. Yes, we would be happy to restock with them. *nods, winks, walks off*
Well Tiger ended his losing streak. And I have to say that he might actually win another major now, although the window of opportunity is still small. Your NFL winners were: Detroit (what’s wrong with New England?), Seattle, Chicago, Los Angeles (Rams), New York (Giants), Balmer, Tennessee, Washington, Philly, Buffalo, Miami, Kansas City, and Nawlins. The Stillers play the Bucs tonight.
Really, Hokies? Really?
In college, Va Tech shit the bed, Oklahoma almost did. Texas got off the schneid and Ohio State is preparing to take on Penn State in the white out this weekend with Urban Meyer back at the helm. The Astros clinched a playoff spot and the A’s all but have as well. The AL is practically set for the postseason and the NL isn’t far behind, although Colorado is trying to hang in there.
Today’s famous birthdays include: Western Samurai William Adams, Chief Justice John Marshall, blues man Blind Lemon Jefferson, writer F Scott Fitzgerald, religious sociopath Ayatollah Khomeini, muppet man Jim Henson, cancer victim Linda McCartney, “Mean” Joe Greene, murder victim (thanks a lot Andy Dick, you asshole)) Phil Hartman, and bassist Sean McNabb.
What’s the matter, Colonel Sanders…chicken?
It was also the day on which the following happened: Columbus set sail on his second voyage. The Ottomans set siege on Vienna, John Jay was nominated to be the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Honda Motor Company was founded, so was Kentucky Fried Chicken, President Eisenhower had a heart attack while on vacation, the first nuclear aircraft carrier was launched, “The Munsters” premiered, CompuServe began operations, West Germany signed the reunification treaty, Mahmoud Amadenijad spoke at Columbia University (but antifa didn’t deem it as worthy of riots as a Milo or Amy Coulter speech). And “The Big Bang Theory” premiered (and may God have mercy on your soul if you watch it).
For Ramirez, the sudden attention has been unwelcome, and prompted difficult choices. She was at first hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident. In her initial conversations with The New Yorker, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the alleged incident with certainty. After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away. Ramirez is now calling for the F.B.I. to investigate Kavanaugh’s role in the incident. “I would think an F.B.I. investigation would be warranted,” she said.
Yeah, seems legit.
She’s got. long way to go to catch this guy.
Well, I’ll excuse you if you read the headline and think “not another Hillary article!” Well, you’d be wrong!
Nothing like a government manipulating the market in order for housing to be affordable for all. (That same home in Houston would probably cost $30-40k in average shape, or $60k with a complete remodel.)
Buenos noches Glibs! Tonight, I am the only one left sober. Which I guess is okay because at least in Latin America there is something else to talk about besides allegations of grab ass at a party in the 80s.
Speaking of grab ass–Somebody at CNN pointed out there are technically two Popes, and I assume both would rather tell me I’m going to the hell of my own creation over my antipathy over climate change.
Los partidarios de ambos papas analizan su silencio en términos espirituales, formas de disciplina y fe en que la verdad se revelará, eventualmente. Otros dicen que Benedicto y Francisco son reacios a caer en una pelea de lodo con un exempleado. Algunos se preguntan si también pueden estar en juego estrategias más mundanas, como la autopreservación.

The supporters of both popes analyze their silence in spiritual terms, forms of discipline and faith in which the truth will be revealed, eventually. Others say that Benedict and Francisco are reluctant to fall into a mud fight with a former employee. Some wonder if more mundane strategies, such as self-preservation, may also be at play.
You think?
Food prices are going up in Argentina, by 33% compared to last year. There is one reason in particular that come to mind, however it doesn’t appear to be mentioned in the article. *cough* socialismo *cough*
At least they do compare to a few neighboring countries, a few of which might have a few differences that jump right out.
En su último informe, de junio de 2017 con datos de abril a mayo, Argentina era el país de América del Sur con mayor tasa de inflación alimentaria: un 1,2%. En el lado opuesto se situó Perú, que presentó un decrecimiento de precios de un 2,1%, de acuerdo con este reporte de la FAO. En Colombia el costo de la canasta básica alimentaria mostró un pequeño aumento de 0,1%.
Por su parte, los datos del Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE) de Colombia muestran que, entre agosto de 2017 y 2018, el aumento del Índice de Precios de Consumo (IPC) fue del 3,1%, una subida inferior a la experimentada en el mismo periodo del año anterior.

In its last report, from June 2017 with data from April to May, Argentina was the country in South America with the highest rate of food inflation: 1.2%. On the opposite side was Peru, which presented a price decrease of 2.1%, according to this FAO report. In Colombia, the cost of the basic food basket showed a small increase of 0.1%.
On the other hand, data from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) of Colombia show that, between August 2017 and 2018, the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 3.1%, an increase lower than the experienced in the same period of the previous year.

After the incident, the president-elect reaffirmed his position that never travel in the luxurious presidential plane, “I would be sorry,” he said.
Finally! Did your team win? I didn’t bet on mine today and lets just say SAM.BRADFORD.HAPPENS.

Football Sunday is usually a boisterous day around these parts. SP is an animated and knowledgeable fan who won’t hesitate to scream at the announcers, the refs, and the fluffball sideline “reporters.” With her preferred hate-targets Jeff Triplett and Ed Hochuli gone, her ire now focuses more strongly on Joe Buck and Beth Mowins. “Please make her shut up. Oh my god, she’s awful. Why the fuck do they let this woman talk? Jesus christ, Joe, you’re a dummy! Who did you blackmail to get this job?” It livens up the games quite a bit. With her out of town, the only verbal excitement comes from the Wonder Dog, who barks constantly to protect us from anyone who might potentially urinate in our yard. And so far, it’s worked- none of the neighbors have dared burrow under the fence and let fly on one of our trees.
Today has two auspicious birthdays, one of them being the delightfully-named Hippolyte Fizeau, whose name has been tragically excised from the Doppler Effect. Maybe it’s because he was accused of groping a French teenager at a wine party? The other will be mentioned below.
And now the news, which unfortunately is totally dominated by the election Silly Season.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said that “as soon as Democrats get gavels”, the party will investigate the Kavanaugh allegations even if he is confirmed and sitting on the Supreme Court.“This is such bad practice that even if they were to ram this guy through, as soon as Democrats get gavels we’re going to want to get to the bottom of this,” he said on CNN.
“If the Republicans rush through a nominee where you have unanswered sexual assault allegations, I can promise you that Democratic senators will be interested in going and looking at those allegations, and if Judge Kavanaugh lied under oath, you could see a judicial impeachment, and that’s not good for anybody, so we should try and avoid that,” Eric Swalwell, D-Calif, said on “America’s Newsroom.”
What the saddest part to me is that any real objections to Kavanaugh (like his apparent disdain for the fourth and fifth amendments) have been totally ignored in this shitshow. It’s the equivalent of the Black Lives Matter bullshit appropriating the real problem of police abuse.
But after high school, and after the alleged assault, Ford left the Washington area and never moved back. She took up surfing. She dressed in jeans when she wasn’t in a wet suit atop a surfboard. Colleagues mistook her for a native Californian. Quietly, she garnered a reputation for her research on depression, anxiety and resilience after trauma — telling almost no one what she herself had endured.
Years later, Ford would describe college as a time when she “derailed,” struggling with symptoms of trauma she did not yet understand.
It was during Ford’s junior year when Goldstein, who now works as an English teacher in Japan, gave her the advice that would change the course of her life. “He said, ‘You’re really smart, and you’re just like totally [messed] up,’ ” Ford recalled. She remembers him saying, “ ‘What are you doing? . . . Everybody’s getting it together but you’re like not.’ It was kind of a harsh talk.”
In other words, the PR machine says that she’s a mentally unbalanced snowflake. Therefore she must be unquestioningly believed.
Ellison, who serves as deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), decried Monahan’s story as “not true” and assured that an “ongoing investigation” will conclude that Monahan’s claims are false. He dismissed the medical record, saying it was written a year after his relationship with Monahan ended.
When pressed whether the investigation will be done before the election, Ellison said it’s an independent investigation and he remains uncertain about the timetable.
So if a medical record is written a year after an alleged incident, it’s no good. But if it’s twenty years after, it’s utterly reliable. Got it.
Six siblings of U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar have urged voters to cast their ballots against the Arizona Republican in November in an unusual political ad sponsored by the rival candidate. The television ad from Democrat David Brill combines video interviews with Gosar-family siblings who ask voters to usher Paul Gosar out of office because he has broken with the family’s values. They do not elaborate.
“It’s intervention time,” Tim Gosar says in the ad, endorsing Brill. “And intervention time means that you go to vote, and you go to vote Paul out.”
“My siblings who chose to film ads against me are all liberal Democrats who hate President Trump,” [Paul] Gosar said. “Stalin would be proud.”
OK, I’ll admit that there are some entertaining aspects to this election.
OK, as you might have expected, today’s other birthday of note intersects with Old Guy Music. And even the title intersects this weekend. It’s intersections all the way down. Happy Birthday, Mr. C. Your art left this world a more beautiful place.
SP has cut me loose for the next few days while she wanders off to deepest rural Appalachia. This reduces the number of likable people in the household to approximately zero. The Mighty Wonder Dog is bereft, though not so bereft that she stops begging for Swiss to come over with his usual offering of pizza for her. The real victims will be the door-to-door campaigners, of which there are many; SP usually prevents me from answering the door, but without her here, I can enjoy the fine sport of trolling. The first question is almost inevitably, “Have you decided whom you’re voting for yet?” The proper answer, if you’re a sick fuck like me who wants to make them uncomfortable (and give them stories to tell) is, “No. Tell me why I should vote for your guy.”
In the Illinois governor’s race, I truly haven’t decided. As usual, the Team Red and Team Blue candidates are repulsive quasi-humans, with Team Blue offering a Chris Christie look-alike with Maxine Waters-level intelligence. Team Red offers us a completely ineffective Progressive. The third party candidates include a rather, ummm, colorful Libertarian and a so-con authoritarian hired by unions to pull votes away from Team Red. We watched the Browns play football instead of the debates, which made us winners. Other people unfortunately had to watch the spectacle.
Rauner said of McCann: “He has received funding from Mike Madigan for his campaign. He was put on the ballot by Mike Madigan’s attorney.”
“You’re a liar. You’ve been lying to the people of Illinois from the very beginning,” McCann replied.
Rauner continued his attempts to portray Pritzker’s support for a graduated-rate income tax to replace the state’s currently mandated flat-rate tax as “proposing a massive tax hike on all the people of this state.”
That prompted Pritzker to interject, “Gov. Rauner, you’re lying. You’re lying again.”
Sparkling rhetoric!
I don’t often feel sorry for members of the media, but I admit some sympathy here. The Browns game was much more interesting. And this increases my resolve to figure out how to get the hell out of this state.
Wait, did I forget birthdays? That’s awful because today is the birthday of the autodidact Michael Faraday, one of my personal heroes. Especially so, since I spent most of this past week setting up chronoamperometric experiments. Read all about him. Not just a great scientist, but an interesting human.
When I worked in Europe, my least favorite city was Venice. Insane traffic, smelly, dirty, and not terribly scenic. And whatever you do, DON’T SIT DOWN.
The city’s mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has proposed a fine of up to €500 (about $585) for anyone planting themselves down in an undesignated spot. The proposal isn’t without precedent in Venice. People are actually already prohibited from sitting in tourist hotspots St Mark’s Square or the Rialto Bridge. The mayor’s proposal is part of the city’s #EnjoyRespectVenezia campaign, which has been in full swing this summer. It’s all part of a general Venetian crusade against rampant overtourism.
I think we all know how to help them with their overtourism problem.
Over 3 million people died from alcohol consumption in 2016, equating to 1 in 20 deaths globally, according to a new report by the World Health Organization. “The alcohol consumption level continues to be very high,” said Dr. Vladimir Poznyak, WHO’s Management of Substance Abuse coordinator. “All countries can do much more to reduce the health and social costs of the harmful use of alcohol.”
Alcohol consumption was also found to cause more than 5% of the global disease burden and reported to be a causal factor in over 200 disease and injury conditions.
Of course, there’s the expected goal here.
“Far too many people, their families and communities suffer the consequences of the harmful use of alcohol,” said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of WHO. “It’s time to step up action to prevent this serious threat to the development of healthy societies.”
And by “action” he mean “rape.” Well, the statist version of rape.
Though 95% of countries impose taxes on alcohol, WHO expects more actions to be undertaken by countries, adding that fewer than half of them use other price strategies such as banning below-cost selling or volume discounts. The member states of the WHO agreed in 2010 on 10 measures to reduce harmful use of alcohol, such as pricing policies and actions on marketing and alcohol availability. As part of the agreement, they declared “its associated health and social burden” as a “public health priority.”
Conclusion: Mexican Sharpshooter is worse than Hitler.
Agents with the OIU had began investigating Twenty Two Fifty, Inc. which is also known as Sharky’s in May of 2017. During the investigation, agents say they were able to buy drugs and lap dances by using food stamps. During the five-month long investigation, agents exchanged more than $2,000 worth of food stamps to buy heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, cocaine, methamphetamine and lap dances.
The New York City subway can be a daily adventure. Waterfalls cascade down stairways in storms. Ceilings drip and sometimes collapse. Elevators, when they work, seem to double as urinals. Panhandlers, dancers and musicians hustle for tips. People jostle, argue, clip their nails and eat smelly foods.
Officials at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said the precious seconds lost to commuters… were partly to blame for delays plaguing one in three subway trains. The MTA has ordered conductors to be more assertive closing doors and not allow limbs or bags to force them open. The new policy is part of a broader push launched in August to reduce delays, in part by training riders to stand clear of closing doors. If subway workers can shave seconds off a train’s journey at intervals along its route, transit officials said, the MTA can significantly improve punctuality.
New York would be great except for New Yorkers.
And weekends would be great except for that Old Guy who keeps throwing out music that doesn’t even have light shows, dancers, and autotune. In this case, something triply appealing to me: Hot jazz, Django-style, Albanie Falletta, and a live performance in one of my favorite Austin clubs, the deeply-underground Elephant Room. Check out the bass line played on sax!
