Today is the last Monday in July. You know what that means. Today is Web Dominatrix’s birthday. Also, I got tired of seeing the permalink say “monday-afternoon-links-37”. I don’t know what everyone else did this weekend, but I ended up driving to Century, FL. For those who don’t know, Century is a pistol shot from Alabama to the north, and a rifle shot from Alabama to the west. I use firearms-based distances because I was visiting a prison. Warty told me I might be a redneck if I spend a whole weekend going to visit a family member in prison. Anyhow, I did the family thing, my youngest son got to see his grandfather for the first time since the boy was weeks old — he’s now weeks from being three. Its not the most fun, but it isn’t a terrible thing for my kids to understand just how much even visiting prison sucks, much less having to stay there. I will say that (for the first time ever) I encountered not a single surly or power-tripping guard. They all were professional, and a couple were downright polite. I’m assuming it was my kids’ winning personalities that brought out the best in them.
There was no Sportzball update, so let me get that in: Cleveland Browns picked as “most likely to improve” by ESPN. Glad that the egg-head statisticians have pointed out that regression to the mean is on the Browns’ side. OMWC’s benighted Orioles won a game and scored 11 runs. Save some of those for a close loss, boys. Red Sox and Yanquis won, too. Indians, Big Red Machine, Marlins, Braves, Mets, Blue Jays, Rangers, Rockies, Mariniers, Giants, D-Backs, and Cubbies won. AL MVP Jose Altuve went on the DL for the first time in his career. Apparently, he fell off the step stool he uses to reach the top shelf of his locker and hurt his knee.
Kangaroo food riots in Australia. When they start kicking people down and stealing their food, the Aussies will wish they hadn’t lost all those rifles in freak boating accidents. Or start blasting kangaroos.
I’m interested in the legal point of this one. Can a union member wear a union shirt in an ad supporting a political proposition the union opposes? The libertarian in me says he can wear any shirt he owns while making an advertisement. The union contends he is misleading the public into believing that the union supports the position by doing so. Can police departments then send take-down notices of officers shooting dogs in uniform?
Florida Reporter kills me with this headline: “Six people in St. Petersburg receive medical treatment after smell of carbon monoxide”. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas. Most likely a CO detector alerted.
Bank of America acts like a giant bank, pisses off customer with bureaucracy.
And speaking of dying (which is what would happen to me in any sort of athletic endurance event), what would you want your last meal to be? I think I’d want a burrito smothered with Christmas from Harry’s Roadhouse in Santa Fe, posole, and a big basket of sopapillas. Brits seem to want a holiday roast dinner.
I have a fascination with collective nouns, especially lately as a murder of crows has taken up residence in my backyard. Many of the collective nouns are amusing, especially the “mutation of thrush” which sounds like an extra bad STD.
“As far as knowledge goes I’ve come a long way.” ~ Jurgen Klinsmann
Do you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset? This is something I’ve been fascinated with since I first learned of the concept. I believe a growth mindset is very much a requirement for success as those with a growth mindset see knowledge and intellect a something that can be increased, as opposed to static.

Today may be a Monday, but as it’s my birthday, and as my last year kind of sucked, I am celebrating with some booze! For the last couple days I’ve been sipping on a bottle of Basil Hayden’s, which was brought to my attention by SugarFree. There are some great looking cocktail recipes using this bourbon, but I can’t bring myself to mix it. As far as beer goes, my husband and I have been enjoying Suspended Particle Double IPA.

In the Department of TSA Delenda Est, apparently this absolutely useless, unaccountable, unconstitutional, and oppressive agency has been working overtime on new ways to wipe their asses with the 4th amendment. We can thank Bush for this monstrosity, may he burn painfully in Hell, right next to Ron and Nancy.
[U]nder Quiet Skies, thousands of unsuspecting Americans have been subjected to targeted airport and inflight surveillance, carried out by small teams of armed, undercover air marshals, government documents show. The teams document whether passengers fidget, use a computer, have a “jump” in their Adam’s apple or a “cold penetrating stare,” among other behaviors, according to the records.
The teams track citizens on domestic flights, to or from dozens of cities big and small — such as Boston and Harrisburg, Pa., Washington, D.C., and Myrtle Beach, S.C. — taking notes on whether travelers use a phone, go to the bathroom, chat with others, or change clothes, according to documents and people within the department.
I have no words. Only the famous Mencken quote.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
In January, Ahed was indicted for assaulting an officer and an IDF soldier, and for five other incidents in which she threw stones, and attacked and threatened security forces.
The Tamimi family and Palestinian activists are preparing a hero’s welcome for Ahed and her mother in Nabi Saleh. Dozens of family members and supporters are expected to receive the two upon their release at an IDF checkpoint near Tulkarm. Her father, Bassem Tamimi, said on Saturday that several Palestinian groups plan to celebrate the release of his daughter and wife. He said that the two will first head to Ramallah to lay a wreath at Yasser Arafat’s mausoleum in the Palestinian Authority Mukata presidential compound.
Later in the day, Tamimi is scheduled to hold a press conference in the Beduin village of Khan al-Ahmar, near the Jewish settlement of Ma’aleh Adumim.
My predictions: Ameh will soon be on a Team Blue Tour in the US, standing with She Guevara. And Bassem is finally going to get laid again. Win-win.
I loved living in Austin. There really was a delightful craziness which I attribute to the presence of a huge university and enough heat to cook people’s brains. And they never, ever disappoint.
The Equity Office also suggests eschewing the name “Austin” altogether, as Stephen F. Austin fought to defend slavery in the Texas Revolution and supported the institution after the state gained its independence from Mexico.
The office also suggests the city reconsider the name of some of Austin’s most recognizable streets, parks and landmarks – including Pease Park, Barton Springs, and Bouldin and Waller creeks – but not before input from Council and the public. The Equity Office says those second-tier suggestions honor figures who weren’t directly tied to the Confederacy, but may represent “segregation, racism, and/or slavery.”
Chance of this actually happening: zero. But a bunch of tax leeches get to justify their jobs and morally preen. Win-win again!
California’s Supreme Court ruled that employers must pay workers for the time they spend completing off-the-clock tasks, such as locking up after work. A federal law, called the Fair Labor Standards Act, generally allows companies to avoid compensating employees for time spent on duties the law describes as trivial or too difficult to track.
In its majority opinion, the California Supreme Court said the federal rule does not apply in the state when it comes to certain off-the-clock tasks performed by employees. It’s the result of a six-year legal battle between Starbucks and Douglas Troester, a California worker who sued the company for not paying him for closing tasks that he said took four to 10 additional minutes after he clocked out each day. Over the 17 months of Troester’s employment at Starbucks, the unpaid time added up to more than $100, according to court documents.
Shaun Setareh, one of the attorneys who represented Troester, said it amounted to “wage theft.” “It’s basically skimming off of people’s paychecks for the benefit of fattening the wallets of CEOs and stockholders of major corporations,” he said.
No way that this ruling is intended to open up the legal process for abuse and fattening up the wallets of lawyers and straw plaintiffs. That would be cynical. On the bright side, it was Starbucks.
In November, voters here [in Utah] will consider a ballot measure to legalize medical marijuana and possibly join 30 others states that allow its use. While opponents, including a group of Utah doctors, have characterized Proposition 2 as a clear and dangerous step on the path toward legalizing recreational pot in the state, supporters say the initiative is a move of compassion.
Legalize weed and next thing you know, people might be tempted to try COFFEE. Then you’ll have the horror of Starbucks opening in Provo! Think of the children!
Addressing the congregation at First AME Church, [Maxine] Waters said, “You’ve gotta know that I’m here to do the work that I was sent to do, and as pastor said to me when I came in this morning, ‘When God sends you to do something, you just do it!’” she exclaimed to cheers from the crowd.
Old Guy Music, and this time dedicated to SP. She was actually a top-class trombonist, which always looks funny when played by people smaller than the instrument. And Bill Watrous, who just died a few weeks ago, was her favorite. And damn, I can see why.

THIS WHY TWITTERS IS CRAZY. STEVE SMITH PREFER HOWL IN WOODS TO SEND THOUGHTS.
STEVE SMITH ALSO HOPE FRIEND ZARDOZ NOT SO SAD OVER HIM NOT HAVING KITTY AROUND ANYMORE.
What do you get when there’s links lacking the depth of Sloopy’s, the creativity and formatting of SP’s, the sly snark (and equally great formatting) of WebDom’s, the Spanish of Mexican Sharpshooter’s, the trilingual classiness of Swiss’s, the conciseness of Brett’s, and the rape of STEVE SMITH’s? You get mine. Old, creaky, and cheap.
Before jumping into the news, I just wanted to share something that amused me. Some Amazon reviews. No, not the intentionally funny ones from the 55 gallon drums of personal lube or the wolf-moon t-shirt, but ones where the reviewers were totally serious. In this case, it was for the brand of veggie burgers that SP and I had for dinner last night. They’re a remarkable product of food science, and despite being (so I’m told) disturbingly realistic imitations of ground up cow corpse patties, are 100% vegan. Well, there’s an invitation for self-righteous delight!
Not vegan !!!

Products like these that contain “Palm oil” are NOT VEGAN, as they contribute to animal killings in this case with the extinction of MONKEYS…
Wildlife such as orangutans have been found buried alive, killed from machete attacks, guns and other weaponry. Government data has shown that over 50,000 orangutans have already died as a result of deforestation due to palm oil in the last two decades. This either occurs during the deforestation process, or after the animal enters a village or existing palm oil plantation in search of food. Mother orangutans are also often killed by poachers and have their babies taken to be sold or kept as pets, or used for entertainment in wildlife tourism parks in countries such as Thailand and Bali.
you feel like you are unboxing an iphone

This product is gratuitously over packaged.
It may not be apparent from the manufacturer’s picture, but the 2 patties are packaged in a hard plastic tray with a clear film top, all slid inside a cardboard sleeve. When you open it, you feel like you are unboxing an iphone.
I’m a vegetarian because I want to reduce my environmental impact. So, while I really like this product, I won’t buy it again because of the completely un-necessary packaging.
And I get why they do it. This really is an exceptional burger, and they want to communicate that through the packaging. I would give the burgers themselves 5 stars. They simulate the squishy feel and look of meat quite well, which results in a very pleasurable experience. Most veggie-burgers are dry and puck like.
But the second time you eat one, you don’t need the snazzy packaging and you just end up being another hypocrite, who snacks on a $3 meat free hamburger while chucking a bunch of petroleum based plastic into a landfill.
Wherever did people get the idea that vegans are prissy, humorless twits rather than deeply concerned and serious thinkers?

The video footage taken on July 5, 2016, contains five segments, put together as part of the Metro Police Transit Department investigation into (senior Obama administration official) Mendoza’s conduct…
In the far left of the shot you can see him getting closer to the woman on the escalator, bending down and the light on his cell phone turning on. You can then see the flash from the camera as he takes the photo…
According to Department of Education documents, Mendoza tried to take photos and videos up women’s skirts at least four times on his government-issued iPhones in July 2016 without their consent. When he took the indecent photos, he was supposed to be at work and was using a travel card funded by the taxpayer, according to the documents obtained by DailyMail.com through a Freedom of Information Act request.
It’s guys like him who give perverts a bad name. Still, that’s not the part that struck me as interesting. What was interesting was that the story was entirely unreported despite the high profile and the click-friendly salaciousness. It only came out now because of FOIA requests. You don’t think it was because he was in a Team Blue administrations, do you? Don’t you think that if a Team Red guy was caught doing the same thing, the news media would be just as happy to bury it out of a deep concern for the guy’s well-being? Of course, because their job is just to report, not cover up for people on their Team and go totally hysterical about people on the other Team.
What could be better proof of the stupidity of an entire generation than eating laundry detergent and making stars out of some rather empty-headed rich kids who happened to be at a crime scene? Maybe this.
Drake fans are jumping out of moving vehicles for a viral challenge and the National Transportation Safety Board is reminding the public that that is a bad idea…
Unfortunately, since it went viral, a shocking amount of challenge participants have taken things to a dangerous (and stupid) level by jumping out of moving cars as opposed to just dancing next to parked ones.

In recent months, Moonves has become a prominent voice in Hollywood’s #MeToo movement. In December, he helped found the Commission on Eliminating Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace, which is chaired by Anita Hill. “It’s a watershed moment,” Moonves said at a conference in November. “I think it’s important that a company’s culture will not allow for this. And that’s the thing that’s far-reaching. There’s a lot we’re learning. There’s a lot we didn’t know.”
Nude sunbathers watched in confusion as the group of more than 30 migrants sprinted into a surrounding forest to evade the pursuing Spanish border guards. The migrants had just crossed the strait of Gibraltar having sailed from the coast of Morocco.
A spokesman for the Guardia Civil police force in Ceuta said the migrants managed to climb over the double barrier, which is covered in small blades. He said they scrambled over “all of a sudden, with much violence”.
“You see roads melting, airplanes not being able to take off, there’s not enough water,” said Katharine Hayhoe, director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University. “Climate change hits us at our Achilles’ heel. In the Southwest, it’s water availability. On the Gulf Coast, it’s hurricanes. In the East, it’s flooding. It’s exacerbating the risks we already face today.”
Gone are the days when scientists drew a bright line dividing weather and climate. Now researchers can examine a weather event and estimate how much climate change had to do with causing or exacerbating it.
Sure they can. Suuuuure.
Well, sometimes to have to give in to the inevitable. And that means Old Guy Music. And the theme really fits. These guys got it in 1972, before most of you kids were even your daddies’ boners. Bonzo was a fantastic band, way ahead of their time, that has sadly faded into obscurity.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ONE NIGHT THIS WEEK, AS ZARDOZ PULLED INTO HIS DOCKING BAY/HOME, HE REALIZED SOMETHING WAS MISSING. ZARDOZ MISSES THE BEST KITTY EVER, MR. WHISKERS. ZARDOZ HAS TRIED TO FILL THE VOID WITH TWITTER, BUT TO NO AVAIL. PERHAPS ZARDOZ CAN SPEND MORE TIME RAISING THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS UP FROM BRUTALITY? MAYBE GIVING THE GIFT OF THE GUN…
ZARDOZ WILL CONSIDER ALL THESE THINGS. HOWEVER, YOU, THE CHOSEN ONES SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE LINK, AND NOW!
NOT QUITE THE MATERIAL ZARDOZ IS SEEKING FOR THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS. ZARDOZ WILL HAVE TO CROSS “IDIOT YOBOS” OFF THE LIST. THREE VICTIMS, NOT ONE KILL.
WHILE MORE PROMISING, MALI IS TOO FAR FOR ZARDOZ TO GO RECRUITING.
OH…IN CASE ANY OF THE CHOSEN ONES WERE WONDERING WHAT ZARDOZ MEANS BY “THE FILTH OF BRUTALS” PLAGUING THE EARTH – HERE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. “Instead, we just surrender the streets and say, ‘It’s OK. You can camp here. You can shoot up here. We’ll give you a box for your needles, and we’ll come and clean up after you,’” Schafer said. “The streets smell like feces and urine, and man, it’s tough to want to stay here.”
ZARDOZ DOES NOT UNDERSTAND BRUTALS – THIS BRUTAL WAS VERY CORRUPT, CONVICTED OF HIS CRIMES TWICE…HE ALREADY LOOKS LIKE HE HAS BEEN AGED, AS THE ETERNAL “FRIEND”WAS. WHY WAS HE NOT SIMPLY CLEANSED?
ZARDOZ IS GOING TO HAVE THE TABERNACLE RUN PICTURES OF MR. WHISKERS FOR OLD TIMES SAKE.
Brett is at the doctor’s office this afternoon, starting his rounds of plastic surgery to repair the alligator bite wounds. So, following SP’s morning links, y’all get me and my inimitable afternoon links. It was a tossup between Lucky Pierre and Sloppy Seconds, but I felt that the former was more apropos.
I feel empowered now that I know how to put lines between each story like a real grownup. Ironic that it was SP who showed me how to do this, albeit with much sighing and eye-rolling. Well, whatevs, let’s look at the news.
The House vote didn’t have much drama to it, but the issue directly aims at the relationship we have with government and the nature of private property, a core right recognized in the Constitution. Kelo perverted that relationship, putting everyone’s property rights hostage to politicians who want to hand off spoils to bigger entities. The case prompted some states to step in and redefine eminent domain to prevent another New London abuse, but despite four attempts by the House to correct this injustice, the Senate has remained obstinate.
And of course, a president with a veto pen who has declared that he LOVES eminent domain. I very often disagree with Clarence Thomas, but his dissent in the Kelo case is delightful invective.
Caroline, 31, offered an apology while promising her wild ways are behind her, as she accepted her sentence of two-years probation. ‘I not only acknowledge my conduct and take responsibility but deeply regret the harm caused,’ she told Justice Curtis Farber. ‘I can assure you that I have made amends, full restitution, completed community service and that nothing like this will ever happen again,’ Biden said, according to the New York Post.
As part of her deal she plead to a lesser charge of petit larceny.
Decked in a fitted black dress and ankle booties with her blonde locks flowing, Caroline happily had her felony conviction tossed.
The investigation revealed that the couple had been asleep in their bedroom when they were awakened by the unknown suspect speaking to them and asking to use their WiFi network. The suspect was wearing something covering over his face. The male victim got out of bed, confronted the suspect, and pushed him down the hallway and out the front door of the house before calling police. No one was injured.
Chez SP/OMWC, if he had managed not to get eaten by our rather large guardian dog, he would have taken the Room Temperature Challenge, assuming SP (a crack shot) had a gun within reach of where she sleeps. Which she totally doesn’t because it would be illegal. Totally.
Grewal, the country’s first Sikh American attorney general, took to Twitter in response to the comments, which were made during Wednesday’s episode of “The Dennis & Judy Show” on New Jersey 101.5 radio. Grewal wears a turban as part of his religious beliefs.
Hosts Dennis Malloy and Judi Franco brought up Grewal’s turban in a conversation about his recent order to suspend marijuana prosecutions. Malloy said he could not remember Grewal’s name, telling Franco, “I’m just going to say the guy with the turban.”
“Listen, if that offends you, then don’t wear the turban, man, and I’ll remember your name,” Malloy said at one point.
In 2012, the New York Army National Guard paid the Buffalo Bills $250,000 to conduct on-field re-enlistment ceremonies. In 2014, the Georgia National Guard paid the Atlanta Falcons $114,000 to sing the national anthem. In 2015, the Air Force paid NASCAR $1.5 million in part for veterans to shake hands with racing legend Richard Petty. Your tax dollars. At work.
If you skip the usual SJW drivel in this article, the main point still stands.
McFarland pleaded guilty to felony charges of wire fraud, bank fraud, and lying to a federal officer in an 11 a.m. appearance before Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald on Thursday, according to the Justice Department. The plea deal carries a federal sentencing recommendation of 135 to 168 months in prison, though he could be sentenced to as many as 75 years under the felony maximums.
The alleged fraud happened while he was out on bail awaiting trial on the Fyre Festival fraud. Well, you do have to commend him for consistency.
Old Guy Music yet again. I think I’ve posted a Leon Thomas song before, but there’s always room for more. This time, a short piece from an album that ought to be much better known than it is, with Thomas, Oliver Nelson, and Johnny Hodges, a real supergroup. This song is basically a vocalese version of Duke Ellington’s “C Jam Blues,” which beats three chord rock by being basically two note jazz. Thomas does his usual “holy shit, how can he make his voice do that?” pyrotechnics, Nelson’s arrangements are pitch-perfect, and Hodges is… well… Johnny Hodges.
I had a tough day yesterday. You’ll all remember the battles I am waging against my own personal Goliath at present. Yesterday I spent the entire annoying day being identified and background-checked, photographed, fingerprinted, and drug tested (for which they practically do a strip search). Driving all over Chicagoland. Filling out more forms. Proving citizenship. Waiting in more lines. Shelling out more cash.
So, please excuse the lackluster nature of my morning links. I’m amazed I even remembered to show up and post them!
Is it Thursday already? Time flies on a tequila and meth bender. I’m a little surprised to find myself in the county and state in which I reside. Used to be I’d end up at least two states away, possibly in an ER. Getting old is Hell.

In case you have any doubt that Florida is the Australia of North America. Hookworms look like a real bitch. Let this be a lesson to you. Do not get buried in the sand at the beach. You never know what kind of kitty has been using it as their sandbox. (Hey, I checked — according to the article these are animal and not human hookworms — don’t blame Florida Man for shitting on the beach)
This is a big fucking disaster. At first I was kind of meh about it. Everybody was an asshole here. On reflection, I think you should have to convince a jury that your actions were reasonable. I don’t know what I would do if some random Florida Man was yelling at my wife as she was getting out of our car when I came out of a store. I happen to read the current law the same way as the local sheriff — if the shooter never threatened the woman with force, SYG still applies — although had the man who was shot drawn a gun and used it, it isn’t clear to me that such a shooting wouldn’t also be covered by having reasonable fear for his wife’s safety or life.
It’s good to see the Evangelicals joining the woke. I’m really glad the first two times I met my wife, mutual friends were able to provide character references. I really can’t imagine doing it any other way. (Note: the article is a tongue in cheek reaction to an even more fun article. Go on down that rabbit hole if you dare.)
