So the crappy part about living on a hill is that when you go for a run, every route is uphill on the way back. I knew that, but it was reinforced to me today when I ran down to the water to do hill sprints on the bridge. Guess who’s house is at a higher elevation than the bridge? Man, that jog back sucked. But I’m giving myself permission to fuck off the rest of the day, so… win?

With enemies like Iran, who needs friends? Who is helped more by “you can’t trust this Trump guy, he’s crazy”? h/t Playa Manhattan

The Singapore Summit has apparently been hard on Larry Kudlow and the Secret Service. In the case of the latter, I assume that finding hookers you can intimidate and being stupid drunk in public are a little tougher to do in Singapore than most places.

Paul Manafort’s legal team will actually know who the prosecution interviewed in bringing charges against him. Its almost like he has a right to defend himself against these charges.

Brexit hangs on in Parliament.

 

In the spirit of my day.

I woke up this morning and expected the world to have ended.  And according to MSNBC and CNN….it has. But more on that later.  Right now, I want to congratulate the Washington Capitals before they, and all of their fans, are too drunk to remember that I said it.  And I also want to say “PIIIIIIG SOOOOOOOOEY!” or whatever Arkansas Razorback fans say when they stomp on the Cocks and punch their ticket to Omaha.  Joining them are the Texas Longhorns, Texas Tech red Raiders and the Floriduh Gators.  The Yankees were off yesterday, which makes sense since they’ve played 7-8 fewer games than everyone else it seems. Rumor has it that Aaron Judge used the opportunity to sacrifice a live chicken to satisfy Jobu, who will help him eventually hit the curveball.  If only he’d give his life to Jesus, it would all be easier.

Hey, today is George HW Bush’s birthday. Dude made it to 94!.  Also born today were diarist Anne Frank, actor/singer Jim Nabors, tv announcer and convicted sexual assaulter Marv Albert, Pretender Pete Farndon, funny man and Canadian Scott Thompson, musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and former Liverpool star and current Barcelona benchwarmer Philippe Coutinho. Its also the day for revolting peasants in 1381’s England, Virginia adopted the Declaration of Rights in 1776, the gas mask was patented, the Philippines told Spain to fuck off, Babe Ruth was struck out three times in a row by Hub Pruett, Houdini did the straight jacket escape while hanging 40 ft in the air, Bobby Jones, one of the three greatest golfers to ever play, won the 1930 US Open, Al Capone was indicted, Germany launched its first V-1 attack on London, Cleopatra premiered in 1963…it ended sometime the next day, Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life in prison, and the “colorful” Sparky Anderson was hired by the Tigers. Also, the unforgettable “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” premiered.  and Nobel laureate Alexandr Solzhenitsyn was given the State Prize of the Russian Federation by President Putin for his humanitarian work.

A little lean on birthdays there, but some significant events for sure.  Feel free to discuss at your leisure.  But I need to move on to…the links!

North Korea commits to complete denuclearization while Trump declares end to “war games” on the Korean Peninsula.  That’s a good thing, right? Unless you’re an idiot, that should be a good thing.  (Protip: if you think its a “good thing”, don’t look at the analysis on CNN or MSNBC this morning. Apparently its a bad thing because we just legitimized a thug.  Which is different than Cuba how, exactly?  Still waiting on an answer for that question.)

Its shootings like this that are why Germans need strict gun control.  Christ, what an asshole.

Somebody out there with some influence over him might want to tell Bill Clinton to just STFU.  Seriously, I think there’s a lot of overblown hysteria with the #metoo movement, but he’s gonna come off as a little tone-deaf what with all of the sexual assault (read: rape) allegations against him, his many trips to Epstein’s Pedo Island and the settlements he has made for sexual harassment allegations.

This is why we all need to appreciate “Starship Troopers” (the movie) as an instruction manual rather than lighthearted entertainment.

Hey, man. Nice shot. No, seriously, this was a good shoot by the coppers.  And the craziest thing is it was a Chicago cop that did the good deed.  Its unknown how many of his “brothers” were out there terrorizing people for no reason at the same time, but I’ll still give credit where due.

Joe Kennedy III faces an angry mob and apologizes. What I don’t get is why a Kennedy would admit to a mistake when he could have just said he was wasted and needed a rehab stint to clean up.  That’s been their go-to for a generation now. Meh, maybe he’s saving it for his first manslaughter or hit-and-run

And our runner-up in today’s “Christ, what an asshole” competition is former Texas Judge Stacy W. Bond. What did she do?  Well, she locked up a sexual assault victim and pretty much drove her nuts.  What was her excuse?  Because she’s “busy”, she didn’t do her due diligence.

Well that’s it. Except for this lighthearted little ditty.

Now get out there and have a great day.

Afternoon everyone. My clan also made it home safely from the Glibertarian Breeding Project joint vacation-marriage arrangement get down. While nobody encountered STEVE SMITH or his cousin the skunk ape, Sloopy’s oldest daughter swears she was approached by a seal — which is weird because I’ve never seen or heard of any seals or sea lions in that area. Maybe SEA SMITH had identified her as a target before smelling the Glib on her. At any rate, trying to negotiate a dowry with a guy who runs auctions is rough. I’m going to be lucky to get a handful of goats per marriage. Our kids had a really good time, and I highly recommend going over to Skully’s on Cape San Blas and eating some low country boil and meeting their bassador (that’s half basset hound, half labrador — not a southern emabassador) Rowdy. They were sure nice to our families, and the beer is free with your meal, too.

This is some crazy right here. And I’m saying this as someone who would bet anyone who would give me 5-4 odds that Trump gets re-elected in 2020 if he’s still President. Especially reason 1. If you can call the jobs reports 2 years out, you don’t remember how different September of ’06 was from September of ’08

What do you mean people who don’t vote and don’t affirm they still live at the address they registered at for six years might have to register again?

For Negroni, a laugh at our college football team. Everyone else, just sub in your coach and team because this is an evergreen piece.

I could do a whole riff on this piece on “how to survive an alligator attack”

1. Don’t walk your small dog near any body of fresh water in FL unless you’re willing to drop the leash or shoot the gator
2. Don’t tie raw chicken to yourself — I’m looking at you Florida Man
3. Always have your gator-fighting cat at the ready
4. Sweep the leg
5. Always give up your meth. The alligators will stop to snort it. It makes them faster, but if you run like hell you’ll usually escape

I feel like there’s a metaphor here. I’m also uncertain about the physics of this one.

 

Back to Work

 

Ah, the fresh air. The gulf breezes. The relaxing sound of the surf and seagulls.  ALL. GONE.  But what a fine week with friends it was.  Sure, I’m a little fat because of it. But its a price I’d be willing to pay again if only given the chance.  Alas, the next trip is apparently to Phoenix in 6 weeks.  I’m praying to God that some auction comes up and I sadly won’t get to go enjoy searing heat with no water in sight.

Anyway, I’m not here to recap my vacation.  You guys don’t care about that.  You’re here for one thing and one thing only…the birthday and sports update!

Well the Capitals won, and managed to fuel more Trump-Russia insanity at the same time.  Personally, I think it was a great trolling by Kushner and his wife Ivanka. And it almost makes a DC team winning something significant tolerable.  Speaking of winning, I guess LeBron had enough of it so he decided to punch a whiteboard and break his hand in the middle of the NBA Finals.  It only hurt him for a few games though, as his Cavs were humiliatingly swept by the GSW squad.  Now America, or at least a very small part of her, will wait to see where he lands next year.

Also, Halep and Nadal won in France, to nobody’s surprise.  Sebastian Vettel won in Canada after a woman almost ruined the race. The Astros won in hilarious fashion. (Suck on that, Rangers fans.)

And for those college baseball fans out there, of which we know of at least one superfan, your CWS is almost set.  Washington, Mississippi State, North Carolina and Oregon State have advanced to Omaha.  The last four spots will be filled today when Texas and Tennessee Tech, Florida and Auburn, Texas Tech and Duke and finally South Carolina and the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS face off in the rubber match of their best-of-three series.  Best of luck to everyone except South Carolina.

English playwright and poet Ben Johnson was born on this date. So was the first woman ever elected to Congress Jeannette Rankin. They share the day with coach Vince Lombardi, diver-explorer Jacques Cousteau, idiot-criminal Charlie Rangel, the late, great genius of the silver screen Gene Wilder, mobster Henry Hill, goat (?) QB Joe Montana, and nut job Shia LaBeouf.

It was also the day on which Troy was sacked, Ben Franklin invented his Franklin Stove, Captain James Cook discovered the Great Barrier Reef, the Broad Street Riot happened in Boston, Charles Lindbergh was awarded the first ever Distinguished Flying Cross, Hitchcock’s “The Lodger” was released, Charlie Siffird became the first black man ever to play in a US Open golf tournament, some crazy monk in Saigon burned himself alive, Sloop John B hit No. 1 in England, Larry Holmes TKO’d Gerry Cooney in 13 rounds for the heavyweight boxing title, Reagan’s funeral was held at Washington National Cathedral, and Nolan Ryan threw his sixth no-hitter.

What a busy day mankind had on this 11th day of June. Lots of cool stuff.  But its time to forget all that and refocus your energy on…the links!

Trump and Kim meetings kicking off in Singapore. Enough said.  Well, not quite. I hope we actually get a lasting peace and an opportunity for the Nork people to enter the civilized world and get out from the yoke they’ve been under for decades now.  Appeasement hasn’t worked with these guys in the past and we’ve never gotten this far in a dialogue with them.  Its time to see if Trump can put his money where his mouth is and pull it off.

On a side note, what the fuck is going on with Justin Trudeau’s eyebrows?

Well I hope they at least have him on ice. Bourdain’s body still in France after red tape keeps his family, which includes the 11-year old daughter he decided wasn’t important enough to live for, from transporting his body to America for burial.

Somebody ought to ask this guy if he knows where DB Cooper is. Or Keyser Soze! I mean, 35 years?  He’s gotta be the all-time hide-and-seek champion.

What a fucking pussy. The correct response would have been “fuck you, its delicious.”  But that would make too much sense.

Not all heroes wear capes. And some of them face criminal charges for doing God’s work. Somebody needs to get a GoFundMe set up for this great man so we can help him out.

I swear, I think the people of Chicago would simply be better off if their schools were abandoned and they let everything become New Jack City. I mean, at least Nino Brown handed out turkeys at Thanksgiving and offered Pookie a job if he got off the crack.

And here’s a mystery for all you history buffs out there. Pretty cool stuff, actually.

Listen, I’m sorry if I duplicated links from last week or over the weekend. I was truly on vacation from all responsibility (aside from the 20 or so hours I dedicated to work), so give me a break if I double-posted.  But its certainly good to be back doing what I love to do as often as I can.  Thanks to everyone who filled in and delivered what I’m sure were better links than I provide.  But you’re probably stuck with me for the most part for a while at least.

This was mentioned earlier.

Have a great day out there, friends!

 

ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ SEES GLIBERTARIAN CHOSEN ONES TRAVELING THE WEST…AND HE LONGS TO JOIN THEM. BUT ZARDOZ UNDERSTANDS HIS DUTY TO THE CHOSEN ONES, AND THE GRAIN CO-OP HE MAKES DELIVERIES FROM. THEREFOR, RECEIVE THEN THE GIFT OF THE LINK! USE IT TO GO FORTH AND SNARK AT THE FILTH OF BRUTALS;

1. WHEN ZARDOZ REFERS TO THE FILTH OF BRUTALS, IT IS OFTEN APPARENT HE MEANS CHICAGO BRUTALS. NOT TO BE TOO CYNICAL, BUT ZARDOZ SUPPOSES THE ANSWER TO ALL THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE MORE MONEY AND POWER TO THE CPS BRUTALS? THIS IS WHERE BRUTALITY LIVES.
2. ZARDOZ FOUND ANOTHER INSTANCE OF BRUTALITY….BOSTON TRAFFIC. SO, ZARDOZ SUPPOSES THE SAME OLD ANSWERS WILL BE PROPOSED…City officials created the Boston 2030 plan to meet the demands as they predict the population will exceed 700,000 in less than 12 years. The recent hike in double-parking fines to up to $55 is one way to alleviate some congestion, Walsh added.

   “We have to be creative,” he said. “People might criticize us for raising the fines but it’ll cut down on double parking and it will cut down on people parking in loading zones.”

   Other solutions, he suggests, include encouraging commuters to take public transportation, using the rental “Blue Bikes” and carpooling.

   “I think pushing more people to public transportation is key,” Walsh said.

   POINT AWARDED TO ZARDOZ.

3. THIS SIMPLY CONFUSES ZARDOZ. IS THIS FROM THE ANIMATIONS OF THE HAT AND HAIR THAT THE CHOSEN ONE CPRM CREATES? WAS THIS SCRIPTED BY THE CHOSEN ONE CALLED SUGARFREE?
4. AND LASTLY, ZARDOZ LEAVES YOU WITH A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF NANNY STATE BRUTALITY. NOTE THE WORD USED…”FORCED”.

ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.

After an eventful day yesterday, SP and I ended up in Sioux Falls, SD. What sorts of events, you might ask? The usual Mann Act violations? Sure, but the real adventures were storms and Jews. The latter will be expanded on in a separate post. The former was typical midwest stuff: tornado alerts, flash floods, massive thunderstorms. Nothing like 3 feet of visibility to add excitement to a ride.

The fun parts were because of our tendency to avoid interstates and keep to back roads, where we find charming towns, nice people, and a few odder attractions. Unlike most internet website elites, we had no urge whatsoever to write a rednecks-in-the-mist article, but then again, we know how to change a tire.

Happiest of all is our dog, who so far has managed to spread her urine across five states, with three more to go. Speaking of which, we had a surprise when we got to the pets-allowed hotel we had booked: they have a policy, not stated on their website, of limiting pets to 80 pounds and under. Looking at our behemoth, we figured this was going to be a challenge. “Scrunch down, pretend you’re a beagle!” Slipping in the side door, away from the front desk, was the key to success.

June 10 is quite an auspicious day in history. In precedent which has been continued to this day, it is the anniversary of the US invading a country that posed no threat, with the Marines landing in Cuba. The worst outcome of this war was its contribution to the rise of Teddy Roosevelt, certainly on the list of our Ten Worst Presidents. It’s also the birthday of Nat Hentoff, perhaps the last honest liberal, and Bobby Jindal, the less said about, the better.

Speaking of spreading urine, here’s some links to news items that caught my (((eye))):

 

This was talked about last night a bit, but didn’t make the formal links post- but should have. CRISIS, PEOPLE, CRISIS! Angela, Justin, and Manny are horrified. I’m famously not a fan of Trump, but shit like this is starting to win me over.

 

And while we’re in Trump mode, this sort of thing cracks me up. Want more Trump? This is how you’ll get more Trump.

 

Want to win my vote? Cut TSA by 90%, at least. 

 

You wacky goyim.

 

When I want to understand science and public policy, the first guy I ask is a third world commie wearing a dress. Fuck off, Frankie. AGW Derangement is fading away and you can’t save it.

 

Everything is better with monkeys. Everything.

 

Here’s a follow-up to the linked story from yesterday about people checking their phones during sex. 

 

Uh-oh. Of course, the idiot reporters can’t be concerned with what they mean by “traces.”

 

Wasn’t this a hockey joke?

 

Last of all, it is sad for me to note the passing of former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Danny Kirwan. Kirwan was in the band during the years when they did interesting music rather than the shitty pop that later brought them greater riches. He had the unenviable job of playing guitar on the same stage as Peter Green, but he still managed to imprint his personality in the music. And that inevitably leads us into today’s Old Guy Music. Fittingly, this song is from Kiln House, the first album from FM following Peter Green’s departure. The album is… uneven. But the high points were Kirwan’s songs, and this one was perhaps his best. Our band covered it in many gigs, and it was just as fun to play as it is to listen to.

 

STEVE SMITH SEE OMWC ON ROAD. HOPE HIM COME VISIT STEVE SMITH! WHILE WAIT TO SEE, STEVE SMITH MAKE LINKS FOR FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN PEOPLE. YOU READ LINKS, STEVE SMITH GO BACK CLEAN CAVE FOR VISITORS.

The worst part about getting ready for our road trip is the packing. SP wanted to bring ALL of her stuffed animals  and it took hours to calm her down after she realized it just wasn’t going to fit. After all, I needed room for the bags of Skittles and my various trench coats. Nonetheless, it’s Saturday, the Glibertariat expects fresh links, and frankly, I’m now exhausted. So if there’s a theme here, it’s purely coincidental.

I can’t help but think about the greatest road trip movie ever. Watching it now, you see gags that have been stolen by every road trip comedy made in the last 50 years- I’m looking at YOU, National Lampoon’s Vacation. Here’s a delightful clip that starts out with a classic line and goes off into five minutes of pure improv. Oh, and on the Hollywood theme, happy birthday to Johnny Depp, who truly is a fine actor, with an uncanny ability to disappear into a role. And apparently, something happened in some trash sport yesterday, but it’s not football, so who gives a shit.

 

Let’s start in Florida because… well… Florida. There’s something about this state that is just different from everywhere else. Like alligators who have interesting tastes in sashimi. You’d think this would be an object lesson to people, but this is Florida- hold my beer.

One more Florida story, which reinforces my firm conviction that everything is better with monkeys.

 

Something everyone knew but was somehow swept under the rug for reasons. I know, let’s put a billion dollars in cash on a pallet and ship it to those nice folks. Maybe next year, they’ll join their neighbors in a parade. Or maybe not.

 

Concern trolling. Many concerns. The best concerns.

 

OK, I admit I’m old and don’t always understand the changes in the world around me. But seriously, really? REALLY?

 

This is totally not about revenue. Nossir. Public safety!

 

As November approaches, mendacity gets turned up to 11.

 

Old Guy Music time- and here, I should note that today, June 9, is Les Paul’s birthday. There has been no greater. See y’all down the road!

 

ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ IS PLEASED. WHEN YOU WERE LIFTED FROM BRUTALITY, YOU WERE COMMANDED TO SNARK AT THE BRUTALS – AND THIS WEEK YOU HAVE DONE WELL.

I thought it would be fun for Glibs to follow along on our adventure. Click the pins on the map and zoom in to see where we are and what we’re up to.

So, what can we expect as we make our way across the land?

South Dakota politicians gonna politic.

There is no end to the stupidity of tourists in Wyoming.

The wheels of justice grind slowly in Montana.

North Dakota police are over-zealous.

In Minnesota it seems as if some teachers are penalized more heavily than most cops.

I swear we aren’t due to be in Wisconsin for more than a week yet!
