“Here’s your cookies. Can I come in and pet the puppy now?”
SP and Webdominatrix are on a road trip to visit my mother in Del Boca Vista. This leaves me all alone here, and, rascal that I am, hijinx are ensuing. While they spent last night drinking with SugarFree as he spun yarns of horror, I was taking more direct action.
Anyway, enough about us, let’s look at what’s going on in the world.
Does this sound familiar? Brave officers of the law wait outside, while inside a killer does his thing. But all of our heroes in blue got home safely, so that’s the important thing. This, of course, could not have actually happened in California, because they have gun laws which should be a model for the rest of us. And “Wong” does not sound like the name of a young white male, and we all know they’re the only ones who do this shit.
I suspect that not many here need convincing that any politician named Kennedy is presumably a boneheaded drunk who is a danger to any women nearby. But Joe Kennedy III may have won the prize, showing that Team Blue icons don’t even bother pretending any more. They are statist thugs, through and through, who are happy to put people in cages for offending their own set of preferences.
Recalling his days working as a state prosecutor when Massachusetts voted in 2008 to decriminalize marijuana, Kennedy said the decision affected the ability of police officers to search and seize other illegal items, such as guns, from vehicles. “If you smelled [marijuana] in a car, you could search a car,” Kennedy said. “When it became decriminalized, you couldn’t do that.”
My suggestion to young Joe is to take a convertible ride through Dealy Plaza. Nice and slowly.
Katy Tompkins, mother to Kaylee and six other kids, said she supposes Kaylee first began utilized meth inadvertently a year ago, when somebody gave her cannabis bound with the medication.

Good lord, this has been an exhausting week. But its gonna end on a high note, as I’ll hopefully be playing golf in the 70s (temp and score) by the early afternoon. And I’ll be drinking a beer every third hole. That’s the plan anyway. I hope it comes to pass, as I just got another auction signed up that will start taking a lot of my time starting Monday. Which reminds me: Dallas Glibs, reach out to me and let’s get together one night this next week. The sale is up there and I’ll be in a hotel from Monday-Thursday. Not sure where, but probably the Galleria area. I’d definitely be up for a beer or two while in town.
Hey, I guess I was wrong about Arsenal. Wenger will live to coach another week at least. Still, all eyes are on Manchester, where the countdown to the HUGE match between the Red Devils and Liverpool is less than 24 hours away. And in other sports news, UVA crushed Louisville, and the world rejoiced. Duke won, and the world wept. Ditto UNC. Kansas is getting their shit together. The Texas Tech Red Raiders got a big win over Texas University. And Villanova and Xavier are on a collision course in the Big East.
Meanwhile, on the ice, a whopping 12 games played yesterday. Winners were: Boston, Winnepeg, Columbus, Buffalo, Army/Vegas, Tampa Bay, Nashville, Carolina, Florida, Edmonton, Los Angeles and San Jose. The MINNESOOOOOOOOOOODA WIIIIIIIIIIILD were off.
Today we celebrate the birthday of Amerigo Vespucci, without whom the entirety of North America might still be a continent of savagery, brutal buffalo hunting and some pretty cool alternative medicine. Sharing the birthday with America is Vyacheslav Molotov, whose cocktails have been keeping revolutionaries and terrorists drunk with excitement for a hundred years or more. Also, Mickey Spillane, Ornette Coleman (for the jazz fans), Yuri Gagarin (for you Space Nuts), chess player Bobby Fischer, house guest Kato Kaelin, hottie Linda Fiorentina, steroid aficionado Brian Bosworth, and supermodel Yamila Diaz. Happy Birthday, you crazy kids.
Is that part of the installment working? Shall I keep it or drop it from the rotation? Anybody suggesting I replace the sports with it will get the cat-ass, so don’t bother (UCS). Anyway, that’s the salad. Now get ready for the steak. And by steak, I mean…the links!
The whole thing is worth it if for no other reason than the terrible photoshops
Diplomacy: Trump style. I do like the fact that he’s clearly said that sanctions will stay in place until an agreement is reached. I just hope he doesn’t fall prey to the same mistake every President before him for a few decades has fallen for and give away a bunch of free shit only for the Kim regime to renege on every one of the terms they agreed to. Only time will tell if this bears fruit, but its interesting nonetheless.
Quantas Airlines takes retardation to the corporate level. Seriously, read the guidelines they put in place…and check the itinerary for your next trip down under and ensure you fly another carrier. Because if this is their way of thinking on human interactions, I have to wonder if they make equally stupid decisions regarding maintenance. (And yes, I know their record has been exemplary to this point. But that’s when they allowed their employees to interact with customers and coworkers as normal human beings would.)
Punishment for rude kids who can’t read good and stuff
I hope this prick gets tossed in jail for the rest of his life. I mean, he maintained his lie for several years in sworn statements. But if you’ll notice, many of his peers are calling any action against him wrong-headed. At least take his pension away and let his victims sue him for every penny he has. That would be a start.
Too often, we say things without really thinking or considering their overall social impact. Of this I was guilty, and SugarFree justifiably suspended me from substitute links duty for two days so I could think it over. The Founders sat me in a chair and went through my shortcomings as a human and as someone who has a duty to set an example of exemplary behavior. After 72 hours of non-stop criticism and struggle, with no let-up for sleep, I finally came to understand the depths of my counter-revolutionary offenses. I shall endeavor to do better henceforth. I also agreed to stop masturbating into the potted plants in our staff office.
And so, on this International Women’s Day, we mark the fall of this former hero of the progressive right-thinkers. Coming next, Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize striped from him for starting five new wars, slaughtering civilians, and destroying sovereign countries who never attacked us… oh yeah, right, like that’s gonna happen.
I think I’m beginning to understand why I find the Trump presidency so off-putting- it really is being run like a reality TV show, and I am (to put it mildly) not a fan of reality TV shows.
Speaking of “entertainment,” how do we make something that’s already stupid even worse. Oh, I know! Or even worse, take something that was really good and needed nothing else and… add something else. (Disclaimer: Even though we loved Breaking Bad, we were quite happy with Better Call Saul. Consistency is not my leading virtue.)
I like this kid, though I wonder if he shot any dogs or groped any girls he pulled over.
Thursday is here, and we’re just two days away from that big clash at near the top of the EPL. But first, let’s all acknowledge Man City for joining Liverpool in the UCL quarterfinals. And let’s point and laugh at Spurs for getting knocked out yesterday. The JV tournament games are today, with Arsenal attempting to stop the embarrassing level of play against AC Milan. Good luck, Wenger. Lose this and you probably ought to just go away tomorrow.
“Jeez, a soccer update right out of the gate” you say? Don’t worry. There’s more to the sports world. Carolina and Louisville managed to win, Oklahoma continued to play like absolute shit and fell, in my opinion, out of the NCAA tournament for good after losing to Okie State. Bucknell punched its ticket to the dance. And Va Tech continued its schizo ways by falling to Notre Dame, and BC knocked off NC State. Much more drama today on the hardcourt.
Only three games on tap in the NHL, with Calgary thumping the Sabres, the Penguins doing the same to cross-state rival Philly. And the Phoenix Coyotes knocking off the Vancouver Canucks. Suck on that, Canada.
Its not every day we get to celebrate the birthday of a man whose work led to help so many people. But today we celebrate the birthday of Karl Ferdinand von Graefe, who is largely credited as the father of plastic surgery. And yes, that means he helped usher in big, ol fake titties. But by “help”, I’m actually referring to the corrective surgeries he helped create like correcting cleft palates, reconstructing other facial deformities and other plastic surgeries that have helped countless people live a more normal life who were largely shunned prior to the developments Graefe helped usher in. Sharing that birthday is the “eminent” jurist and asshole hater of the 1A, Oliver Wendell Holmes. Also born on this day were Alan Hale, the skipper from Gilligan’s Island, Mickey Dolenz from the Monkees, the lovely Kathy Ireland, American treasure James Van Der Beek, Hines Ward and a certain writer who we are not supposed to talk about who used to write for a certain website. Happy Birthday, Lucy Steigerwald.
Man, the pre-links news is starting to spiral out of control. But its good to find out a little trivial information before we step into…the links!
This is a giant pile of big mistakes. Sent two the wrong address…of a meth dealer…totally unprepared. I am already prepared to see calls for more police militarization and a ramping up of the drug war in the wake of this fiasco.
Boo fucking Hoo. I sure hope Nancy Pelosi and crew sell this to the American public as Trump’s war on the middle class at the expense of the rich. Because if they do, it will end up with another tax cut on the table just to piss them off. Or maybe it will result in taxpayers from states with huge income taxes, like California’s, will start asking questions about why they pay so much in tax to feed the retirement programs of state unions who let employees pad their salaries in the waning years in order to retire with more money a year than they ever actually earned through their base pay. Either way, its a losing argument I can’t wait for them to make.
Looks like the Women’s March has got some ‘splainin to do. LOL, JK. They’ll get a pass on their relationship and adulation of the horrible racist because his views aren’t that mainstream. And because there is much more dangerous rhetoric coming from the racist right, who is becoming more mainstream.*
*David Duke, known racist, has 47,000 twitter followers. Farrakhan has 480,000. But its the right whose “racism” is more dangerous and mainstream, right NYT?
English author Mary Shelley’s classic novel Frankenstein has terrified millions since it was first published in 1818.
In it, scientist Victor Frankenstein’s monster gets snubbed by society and then murders his creator’s brother, pal and bride. But an academic has revealed growing support for the beast in the introduction to a 200th anniversary edition of the book.
Prof Nick Groom, of Exeter University, said: “When I teach the book now, students are very sentimental towards the being. But he is a mass murderer.”
He then asked: “If he’s not human, but he is intelligent and sentient, does he have rights?”Mary Shelley expert Professor David Punter, of Bristol University, said: “It’s a familiar story isn’t it, someone with a terrible upbringing going on to commit terrible crimes.
“The monster does deserve sympathy.
“I don’t believe he would qualify as human and I’m not sure he would qualify under any kind of animal rights regulations either. I think the poor chap would rather fall in between two stools.”
I know this is just a stupid clickbait article by The Sun, a newspaper so worthless I wouldn’t even recycle it into tampons for sewer rats, but this pisses me off. Of course The Creature is a victim. He didn’t ask to be created, he didn’t ask to be the hideous product of a flawed god’s experiment. He was ripped from the sweet nothingness of nonexistence and abandoned in a world that would hate and fear him forever. In pain and anger, he demands a mate from his Creator, vowing to vanish in the wilds of South America. When Victor refuses, The Creature begins to kill his family to pressure him to comply. It is a morally bad choice from a being with no other legal recourse and the Creature even eventually kills himself out of remorse. Kiss my chocolate snowflake, Sun.
People driving by a McDonald’s in Lynwood, California, might be baffled by an upside-down sign. The golden arches, typically standing as an M, have been flipped over to become a W.
But this isn’t a bizarre prank or a careless mistake. The upside-down arches are in “celebration of women everywhere,” a McDonald’s representative told Business Insider in an email.
Patricia Williams, the location’s franchisee, flipped her restaurant’s sign in honor of International Women’s Day on Thursday.
McDonald’s says it will turn its logo upside down on all its digital channels, such as Twitter and Instagram, on Thursday, while 100 restaurants will have special “packaging, crew shirts and hats, and bag stuffers” to celebrate.
Steven Long returned from his job cleaning up CenturyLink Field after a Seattle Sounders’ game when he discovered that home was gone.
He had been living in his 2000 GMC pickup, parked on a side street, but the city of Seattle towed it because Long had violated a city rule that requires vehicles be moved every 72 hours.
That impound set up an unusual court ruling Friday that advocates for homeless people and the city both say could have broad implications on the crisis of homelessness.
King County Superior Court Judge Catherine Shaffer ruled that the city’s impoundment of Long’s truck violated the state’s homestead act — a frontier-era law that protects properties from forced sale — because he was using it as a home. Long’s vehicle was slated to be sold had he not entered into a monthly payment plan with the city.
Shaffer also ruled the fees the city required Long, 58, to pay to retrieve the truck were too high, violating constitutional protections against excessive fines.
You know the story: Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl has no idea how to accept the love because she’s only dated assholes her entire life. Years of social conditioning are at work. Maybe her dad was an asshole, maybe her mom married one. She’s been told “when a boy is mean to you, it means he likes you” since her earliest days on the playground. Social psychology and evolutionary biology are playing themselves out as some studies suggest that women are attracted to men who exhibit certain traits — specifically narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy — in short-term mates. You can chalk it up to a myriad of intersecting factors like bad role models, poor choices, self-esteem issues, shame, trauma and trust issues that feed the self-destructive cycle, like Ouroboros, the snake forever eating its own tail.
As a woman very familiar with the cycle (and assholes), I’m here to assure you that cracking open the cage around her tiny, Grinch-like heart isn’t impossible. But there are some things I want you to know about the process. If she’s worth it, you’ll be willing to do what it takes. If you’re already thinking, “No thanks, too much work,” you might be right — or you might be an asshole. Anyway, if you’re still up for giving it a shot, here’s what to keep in mind…
I think a lot of it hinges on how many assholes she’s dated. One asshole? Almost everyone dates at least one asshole. Two assholes? Hey, things happen, people misrepresent themselves. Three assholes… maybe she just likes assholes. Everyone she ever dated is an asshole? Run. Either she has an asshole fetish or she thinks anyone who breaks up with her is an asshole. (And this goes for the ladies as well… If every woman he’s every dated is crazy, then he’ll the problem, I imagine. (Or the unluckiest person ever, so still get away because lightning is coming for he or she or ne or xe or ner or whatever.))
The shining star that was cosmologist and theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss’ long-spanning career continues to dim in the wake of allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior, first reported by BuzzFeed News last month.
On Monday, the Center for Inquiry—perhaps the most prominent skeptic and humanist association in the US—severed its relationship with Krauss, who has frequently been a guest speaker at its events and served as a honorary member on its board of directors since 2011. Via a solitary tweet, the CFI linked to its zero tolerance sexual harassment policy, then said, “Serious allegations have been raised regarding Lawrence Krauss, and we suspend our association with him pending further information.”
His sexual advances were described as up, down, strange, top, bottom, and–to some–charming.
Yesrerday’s UCL games in one word: boring. Liverpool had an insurmountable lead and cruised to a 0-0 draw ahead of their match with ManUre this weekend while PSG had an insurmountable task and pretty much sat down against Real Madrid. Hopefully today’s matches will bring a little more excitement.
I’ll tell you what is exciting though: the NCAA conference championships. Gonzaga won the WCC for what seems like the umpteenth time in a row. SoDak State beat SoDak and will head to the dance with them. Also punching their ticket are Charleston, who came back from a ton to beat Northeastern, who ch-, ch-, choked big as shit. LIU-Brooklyn made it in as did the Raiders from Wright State University. Which means Dayton will represent this year even if the Flyers did manage to completely shit the bed. More finals on tap today and the big conferences, with the exception of the Bg Ten, are getting their tournaments ramped up.
Nine games on the ice last night. Here’s your recap: Red Wings fall in OT to the Bruins. Devils top Les Canadiens. Blue Jackets beat Army/Vegas. The Jets top the Rangers. The Lightning strike the Panthers. The Predators shut out the Stars. The Blackhawks get a rare (lately) win in OT. The Hurricanes were beaten by the MINNESOOOOOOOOOOOOODA WIIIIIIIIIIIIIILD! And the Anaheim Mighty Ducks blanked the Crapitals. Congrats to the winners.
And today is the birthday of Scottish rabble-rouser Rob Roy, the composer Ravel (whose music I quite enjoy), Willard Scott, Tammy Faye Bakker, Peter Wolf of the J Giels Band, Bryan Cranston from Malcolm In The Middle, Wanda Sykes, the lovely Rachel Weisz, Flipper Anderson and one of my favorite authors Brett Easton Ellis.
I’ll work on the delivery of that new segment. Give me a little time to work it out. Meanwhile, enjoy…the links!
This is what I think about giving up my nukes!
Remember when I said yesterday that we should probably discount what Kim said about getting rid of his nukes? Well here’s why. That crazy bastard could have at least sucked some sweet dough out of those European pussies if he’d have just kept his mouth shut. Now he might get nothing.
As the DOJ sues California for its sanctuary state policy, details start to emerge about some of the illegal immigrants that evaded capture due to the warning given by the Oakland mayor. If one of those felons committees another crime coupled with the Kate Steinle debacle, I could see the tide turning on them. (Just kidding. The “if it saves just one life” slogans only work when the left is trying to take a fundamental right away from somebody, not when it comes to removing someone with multiple felonies who happens to also be here illegally.)
The Nashville mayor who was banging her head of security while he was bilking taxpayers out of tens of thousands of tax dollars, has finally decided to do the honorable thing and resign from office. She also pleaded guilty to felony theft, as did her lover/bodyguard. Both of them will be eligible to have their convictions expunged in a few years as part of a sweet plea deal. Convicted Chicago politicians, of which there are plenty, give a collective “WTF?!?!?!” to the arrangement.
Martin Shkreli: what crime did he commit again, other than piss off some politicians?
What do you do when you voluntarily agree to terms of employment tied to your education and you later don’t like them? Do you quit and go somewhere else? Do you continue to honor your agreement? Hell no, you don’t! You go on strike and occupy the office of the people you are “negotiating” with. I suspect the school will roll over, but I wish they’d call the state police and have them removed, expelled them and let every school in America know they’re not the kind of people you make an agreement with because they’ll simply ignore it when it doesn’t go their way.
A bloc of House Democrats is calling for an ethics investigation into the widespread practice of lawmakers sleeping in their offices, arguing it’s an abuse of taxpayer funds.
More than two dozen members of the Congressional Black Caucus signed on to a letter obtained by POLITICO to Ethics Committee Chairwoman Susan Brooks (R-Ind.) and ranking member Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) asking for a probe into the “legality and propriety” of such conduct by members of Congress.
“There’s something unsanitary about bringing people to your office who are talking about public policy where you spent the night, and that’s unhealthy, unsanitary — and some people would say it’s almost nasty,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the top Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee.
The CBC’s push targets a practice popular among conservatives triggered by former Rep. Dick Armey, an architect of the 1994 “Republican Revolution.” Lawmakers often sleep in their offices to showcase their thriftiness and their aversion to the Washington swamp.
But it may violate House rules or federal law, according to Democratic critics.
During the first stop, Lloyd asked Wilson twice if she had taken any prescription drugs, the report said.
Wilson said she takes a sleeping aid, the report said. Lloyd asked if it was Ambien. She said that was the one, but said she only takes it every other night.
“I don’t take any narcotics,” she reportedly said. Lloyd responded, “It is a narcotic.”
The paper pointed out that Ambien is not considered a narcotic under U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration guidelines.
The video shows Lloyd—who was hired by the department in 2015 and served with the 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq– ordering Wilson out of the truck, the report said. Wilson alleges that Lloyd put his hands inside her waistband and touched her buttocks and genital area.
Lloyd stopped Wilson a second time near her home over the tint on her truck windows, the lawsuit alleges, according to the paper. The lawsuit alleges that he told her, “We have to stop meeting like this.” Although the first interaction’s audio was recorded, Lloyd claimed the battery on his microphone died for the second, Effler’s review said.
Spoiler alert: She’s white, so survives the encounter. Also: NEVER TALK TO COPS MORE THAN YOU HAVE TO.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A man and woman have pleaded guilty following a nude photo shoot at a busy shopping center in Monroeville last year.
Michael Warnock, a self-proclaimed adult photographer, pleaded guilty to taking pictures of a nude model at the Miracle Mile Shopping Center.
“The result today was a $300 fine, which we feel is fair and appropriate. These were some decisions made by both people that were less than advisable,” defense attorney Ryan Tutera said.
Tutera says his client viewed his rendezvous with then 21-year-old nude model Chelsea Guerra as artwork
“Under certain sets of circumstances, some would call this art and under certain sets of circumstances it could be art. But, there are time and place restrictions on this type of behavior,” Tutera said.
Judge Jill Rangos scoffed at the idea saying that young families frequented the Monroeville shopping center, meaning kids could have seen Guerra while nude.
She called their decision foolish and compared it to streaking at a big football game
For every “manel”, there’s a bunch of smart women sitting in the background, being denied the opportunity to show their knowledge and raise their profile.
For every all-male speaker lineup, there’s a bunch of hardworking women who will miss out on their next promotion or payrise because they haven’t demonstrated “thought leadership” in their field of expertise.
For every stage occupied solely by men, there are a host of amazing women who will never get a chance to shine.
Manels. Oh, Sweet Meteor of Death, we lift our voices in prayer that we might end this scourge of lame portmanteau portfemateau.
Well we made it through the beginning of the week unscathed. Most of us, anyway. St Mary’s College didn’t, as they got drilled by BYU in their conference semifinal. I remember not too long ago when that would be the death knell for a WCC school. Now they’ll probably go in as a 6 seed and BYU might have played themselves back into the tourney. They’ll face Gonzaga tonight, though. Iona punched their ticket. SoDak State beat NoDak State. They’ll face U SoDak in a winner-take-a-trip-to-the-NCAA-tourney game tonight. Lots of other games, but the finals mostly get started tonight, so that’s all the update you’re getting.
A quick note that Man United were lucky as hell yesterday. And then on to the hockey results: the Penguins extinguished the Flames in OT. The Sabres cut through the Maple Leafs to win 5-3. The Stars weren’t shining against the Senators. The Oilers were slick enough to down the Coyotes. And the Canucks beat the Islanders in a game where punny descriptions are hard to come by.
Is there anything else you guys are looking for a daily update on? If so, let me know in the comments and I’ll work on it (maybe). Until then, this is all you’re getting. I’ll get the March Madness thing rolling in a day or two, so tune in to the links every day for a chance to win (the equivalent of) 10,000 (Zimbabwean) dollars!!!!
And without any further delay, I now present to you…the links!
How to raise your child to not be a bully. Or how to get a busybody asshole to call CPS on you for being a big meanie. Either way, I think this guy is teaching his son a valuable lesson about actions and consequences. Or he’s training the next Steve Prefontaine. You decide.
Run for your lives! Its an inanimate object incapable of doing damage on its own a ghost gun!!!
Third verse, same as the first. Anybody taking this seriously hasn’t been around since that wacky family first came to power and started making promises and offers in order to get free shit from everyone around them only to renege every. single. time.
Jesus, what a bunch of pussies. Go get an aluminum bat and/or some steel-shafted 3 woods and you will solve your own problem…assuming its not against the law to get rid of nuisance animals on private property in California anymore.
Drew says the hospital has been working with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for a year, taking suggestions from the agencies on how to humanely clear the birds, including using a turkey repellent recommended by Contra Costa County Animal Control. But the turkeys keep coming back.
“They’ve aggressively walked towards patients,” he added. “We’ve tried to deal with this, and we’re at the point where they need to be trapped and removed. We need to put our patients and staff first.”
NorCal has gone to the birds.
LOL…pussies.
So he basically stole $90,000. He’s one of the King’s Men. There’s probably nothing you can do about it. Bonus points for letting a municipal employee take five years off on a leave of absence to set up his private company. I know it typically doesn’t go over well when, in the private sector, you tell your boss you want to take several years off to set up a competing firm and that you’ll be back to your job at some point in time (which he never did even go back to) in case your venture fails. Ain’t pubsec unions grand?
Brett decided to celebrate his 60 Days Sober award by having a drink. Then celebrated that drink by having a drink. And those two drinks seemed so lonely that he needed another… anyway, as his sponsor, I guess you’re stuck with me for your afternoon entertainment.
The number of kids sent to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) doubled between 2004 and 2015, a team at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital found.
Of course, the article doesn’t mention what that number actually is or how it fluctuates from year to year or how it relates to changes in overall PICU intake. Because that might make panic seem stupid, and we all know we’re having an opioid apocalypse.
