“We must do it and do it soon!” Hillary slammed her fist on the table, causing pencils, pens, phones and IT gnomes to jump.
“We must build a working Joe Biden!” She stood, straightened her pants suit, and glared at the best minds the remnants of her 2016 campaign could offer. Wet brains and suck-ups, she thought. Deformed Bryn Mawr graduates and Columbia School of Journalism student loan slaves.
“GO!” she roared and laughed to herself as they scattered.
She caught Huma’s eyes and begged for affirmation. Huma grimaced and went back to the book she was reading.
1.0
“What’s with the blurry?” Hilary barked
“Ms. Clinton, this is Alejandro, can you hear me?”
“Ms. Clinton?” Hillary asked archly.
“Secretary of State Clinton…” Alejandro began.
“President Clinton,” Hillary said.
“Madam President,” Alejandro tried again.
“Real,” Hillary said. “Real President Hillary Clinton.”
“Hillary,” Huma rumbled.
“Get on with it!” Hillary yelled. “Why is it blurry?”
“The program is still compiling, Madam Real President.”
“I can’t make out his face at all,” Hillary said.
1.1
“I like the slogan,” Hillary said. “It will do well in Florida and the other semi-literate states. But the face isn’t quite there yet.”
“One moment please,” Alejandro said.
1.3
“There he is, there’s the Joe that’s touched so many,” Hillary said.
“He smelled my hair just a few months ago,” Huma said, shivering.
“He hasn’t smelled my hair since I was First Lady,” Hillary said wistfully. “I had Stephanopoulos bite him right on his wandering hand.”
“Oh, Hillary!” Huma said pointing at the page she had been reading.
“Now, let’s try out some facial expressions and some different backgrounds. Make him smile,” Hillary said.
2.0
“Oh, my Dark Gods!” Hillary screamed. “What the fuck is that? Smile, I said. Smile! Not drunk mug shot!”
2.1
“Gah! That’s worse somehow! No! No!”
2.2
“That’s only half-a-smile!” Hillary said. “He looks like he’s had a massive stroke! He can’t look like that until after the election!”
2.3
“Finally!” Hillary said. “Open, warm, inviting. Perfect. Just like my smile.”
With a deep creaking sound, the corners of Hillary’s mouth moved slowly upward, forcing her cheek implants to rise to the surface, and, grunting, she opened her lips to show her teeth.
“Show me stern!” she said after letting her face slide back into place. “I want ‘Steady Leader of the Free World.'”
3.0
“That’s a pirate!” Hillary said. “But save that one. We might need it.”
3.1
“Close. Serious, that’s good, but where’s the fire! The passion?”
3.2
“No! You’ve gone back to pirate! Or maybe Christopher Columbus.”
“Hold on, Ms. Real Secretary President,” Alejandro muttered.
Hillary wandered over to where Huma was sitting. She reached out to tuck Huma’s hair behind her ear and closed her hand when her lover pulled away.
“It’s just a novel, Huma,” Hillary said. “None of it is real.”
“It certainly sounds real,” Huma spat. “The car? Your addiction to creampies? It makes me sick.”
“Then stop reading it.”
Huma glowered at her and went back to the book.
3.3
“Stern, forthright, upstanding, in no way rapey. It’s perfect,” Hillary said. “On more though, this time with more fire!”
3.4
“Nope. Nope. Nope. He looks like a howler monkey,” Hillary said.
“Mussolini,” Huma said.
“Joe wishes he could pull off Mussolini,” Hillary said. She went to kiss Huma and she pulled away again.
“It’s just a stupid book!” Hillary screeched.
“Are you ashamed of me?” Huma asked quietly. “Are you ashamed to let people know we are together?”
“What?” Hillary asked, drawing back.
“Bill is a monster,” Huma said, jabbing a finger into her preview copy of Rodham. “Why won’t you leave him?”
“I need him for now,” Hillary said.
Huma threw the book down and ran from the room.

If stores were like movie stars Pier One would be “I didn’t know he was still alive.”
That particular announcement doesn’t surprise me. Pier One’s been on oxygen for quite awhile.
““Oh, Hillary!” Huma said pointing at the page she had been reading.”
I wonder…
3.0 looks like Jeff Dunham’s Walter.
We have a neighbor we refer to as Walter – has the same sour face, all the time. Come to think of it, Walter may have a greater range of expression.
Good Lord, SF!
You’re some kinda postin’ MACHINE!
It’s like deja vu all over again.
This is the best.
Which “him” is referred to at the end? Bill or Biden?
I assumed Bill.
Bill. I made it more clear.
I liked the ambiguity. Could have been she was referring to Biden and not replacing him so far. And hinting that Loading would give him the full Seth Rich/Vince Foster/Ron Brown experience.
It could have been Huma’s Weiner, too.
Speaking of ambiguous hims.
No, I think Huma’s wiener makes an appearance later in the evening.
I get why people dislike/rabidly hate Trump, but are they fucking serious about putting Woody Wilson Part Deux on the throne? Is there some deeper game going on here?
They expect a shorter term than Harrison?
I hate to say this, but it would be funny if Joltin’ Joe got COVID at his inaugural address .
Somewhat related, I now know of a COVID fatality. The girlfriend’s [deceased] grandfather’s cousin died of it. Over 90 years old, I may have met them at one of several funerals.
Where you gave him the ‘rona?
That’s how I read it too. Someone will be by shortly to ask about attendance at these “several funerals” because really it just sounds like anarchy.
They’ve had 4 years to find someone and that’s the best they could come up with. I’m convinced this world is a simulation and they moved the sanity sliders to full blown schizo.
I still think they’ve got to have an all-out search for a ‘VP’ candidate right now. Because what juris said above. I mean, they’re not completely stupid. Not completely.
My sentiments exactly. There has not been a single thing that makes a lick of sense in the last 20 years. It just keeps getting more insane. The republicans picking Trump was nuts. (The dems picking Hillary, while not equally off the wall, was also nuts). Trump winning was nuts. Obama administration folks actually openly plotting the overthrow of Trump was nuts. The press hopping on board and being willing participants in that was nuts.
All of it. Nuts.
Then they nominate a clearly senile Biden? I get that nobody wanted to nominate a crazy socialist/communist. But there were actually some sane left-wing choices. Tulsi was actually palatable. There were a couple of others who had a fighting chance. Heck, if you were gonna go Biden, you could have put Kamala Harris up there.
Biden wanted you to put on the record player for your children at night.
The only possible excuse is that they are hoping for a Veep choice that they all prefer and can take over a couple of months after the inauguration. That seems an odd gambit to be taking.
He’s so corrupt he’s controllable, plus he’s the last man standing who gets Saint Obama Nostalgia. The plan was probably originally going to cast someone who checks some intersectionality boxes for his VP, but they know as well as we do that they can’t put someone unimaginable as Prez as VP. In other words, Stacey Abrams probably had a shot before Biden’s mental decline became a meme, and since I doubt any Democrats want her as president, she’s done. It’ll be someone “safe” like Klobuchar or Whitmer who they hope can deliver a swing state.
A tad late for that.
I’m going with Susan Rice: Black but not too black, woman, and corrupt as hell but who cares about that anymore?
And already a proven team player. The machine should love her.
So does that make him a libertarian?
No, but he could win the LP candidacy.
No, it makes him Not Trump. Which is all they want.
I can’t tell where 4.0’s hand is at.
Hillary is getting ready to break two of his fingers,
That’s why the smile is genuine.
First!
“I need him for now,” Hillary said.
They’ve already dumped #MeToo, maybe it’s time to rehabilitate Bill. And by rehabilitate, I mean just ignore his accusers like they’ve been doing.

Off-topic, but worth looking at
“OUR FOUR LARGEST STATES: COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Yesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted this comparison of California, Texas, Florida and New York. It is simple but interesting in several respects:”
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/05/our-four-largest-states-compare-and-contrast.php
Like one of those truck stop trough urinals.
This is important. CNN has been banging away at “Cuomo is the ultimate hero of the crisis” for the last couple of months as he literally got people killed, all while holding up DiSantis as the second coming of Trump and a mass murderer.
Most of the infections in Florida can actually be traced to a mass influx of New Yorkers with second homes down here. Florida was doing contact tracing and isolating potentially infected folks… until a couple of thousand infected folks flew south to sit out the Covid epidemic. Cases went from a couple hundred to a few thousand as flights from New York were booked solid for two weeks (during a “shelter in place”) order. Did the press point that out? No, they complained that DiSantis went to Trump to try to get an internal travel ban against New Yorkers coming to Florida. They also decried northeastern states who wanted to protect themselves from New York citizens who seemed to view spreading the virus as a civic duty.
So, Biden is Max Headroom revisited?
Perfection. Tied the whole day together with a stained bow.
Thanks, SF!
Thank you.

Anyone for an hour-long tirade about the Rise of Skywalker?
I find it interesting how at the end he reveals he really likes Southland Tales. Isn’t that a weird arty quirky movie with heavy handed political messages? Ironic.
And do people now love Alien 3? The film was very much the Last Jedi of its day complete with David Fincher “subverting expectations”.
There were further sequels after Aliens?
No. There were not.
^——This right here.
I hate to tell ya, but James “Nuke it from orbit” Cameron praised A3, and said he would have gone in another direction (from Aliens), himself, if he had made the film.
Different franchise/fictional universe? It’s not a bad film, per se. But, as an Alien/xenomorph movie? Nah.
I liked it because it was an entirely different movie, just like Alien and Aliens
I could give you my own hour long tirade against Ep IX. So no, I have no need to watch someone else’s. It’s a bad film, and a worse Star Wars film. Last Jedi is flawed, but anyone who says it’s worse than Rise is simply too enamored of the nostalgia barf JJ served up to see what garbage it actually is.
Alien 3 has two things going for it: One, it was recut and many people profess to like the recut esp if they don’t care about what happens to Newt or Hicks, and two, it’s still a more interesting film both in story and direction than Resurrection and the rest of the Alien films which followed it, so there’s a bit of “the previous GOP president wasn’t the horrible evil scum we have now!” going on.
At least JJ tried to please his audience, and seems to have some sort of respect for Lucas’ property. TLJ is an a visual self-fart huffing from someone who thinks he’s better than the proles filling the seats. Or, at least, thinks he’s better than the original story-teller(s).
That they were both shit isn’t in question. It’s really, “Who’s the bigger asshole in that hot dish?”, and one of two really seems to rise to the occasion.
As someone born in 1977, TLJ is what finally made me tap out of Star Wars. I’ve heard from trusted friends that the Mandalorian and Clone Wars is good. TLJ was bad enough, that I don’t care anymore. That makes it worse than X-Men 3, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, Nightmare on Elm Street (every one after 3 and Nightmare on Elm Street 2), Friday the 13th (every one after 4), and Hellraiser (everything after 3).
Mandalorain is kick-ass, and kinda shows just who should be in charge at Lucasfilm. Or, at least, have much more authority.
And what makes it so much better is that it is small. No need for 500 star destroyers in a dogfight. No horses on spaceships. Just a throwback to old TV westerns….. in Star Wars.
Mandalorian was better than the new movies, it’s at least entertaining in some fashion. Clone Wars I could never get past that shitty CGI animation, gave me a headache, and also it aired and streams completely out of order chronologically. I noped out on the new films during the opening scene of VII, only watched anything after out of morbid curiosity.
People love that CGI, for some reason. I can’t get into it much, beyond an episode or two, due to seeing what were actual humans rendered into Lucasfilm animation. And, oddly enough, they’ve noticeably improved the animation since the first seasons. I could handle Rebels, to a certain extent, since most characters in it were animation first.
The animation for rebels was a little better, didn’t give me a headache. They didn’t look as much like cheap wood puppets made by a creepy old guy to hand out to kids.
I agree…. cheap wood puppet characters didn’t work for me either.
And the weird “homage to aeon flux” storytelling style of out-of-order vignettes didn’t float my boat either.
Well there are people out there that now like the prequels and Zack Snyder movies so you never know…
The prequels have some merit. I could see a way to fix them in edit, where as there is nothing of value in the Disney Wars. Also, in that article I touch on Zach Snyder and DC; again as an editor I could see things to salvage, except for Shazam the rest of the DCU has been shit on a platter.

If yours is nicknamed orange fanta you’re either an Oompa Loompa, the president, or need to see a doctor
You could like Cheetos.
Don’t forget the massive need to pee. The kind of pee where you thank Jeebus afterward.
Speaking of old movies one interesting that home video, tv, streaming, etc. has done to us is that old stuff is considered to be good and nostalgia bait is profitable. Until VHS and TV came along there was a tendency for people to dismiss movies made over five years ago as hopelessly dated antiques. And no “over five years ago” is not really an exaggeration.
Same is generally true of fashion. Just went out of style is Too recent. But wait long enough and there’s nostalgia, quaintness, and homages to people you wouldn’t give the time of day to a few years ago.
this is great, kudos SF.

In the craft beer world, Three Floyds brewpub (Munster) is closed indefinitely, and Mikkeller’s San Francisco location is closed and up for sale. I’ve been to both locations, and will miss them (not that I’d be planning on going back to SF anytime soon).
Fuck.
On the bright side, Three Floyds is still keeping up their production (as is Mikkeller’s). On the bright side, there’s a chance that Ohio may be able to keep the carryout/delivery of alcoholic drinks permanently.
And on the bright side, I see that I repeated myself a bit.
We could use a little more bright side.

Why always singular? The guy I’m following does two, sometimes three.
Are you trying to replicate human vision, or synthetic vision? If human, one point. Synthetic vision (involves technology or imagining the non-existent) can support infinite points.
I’m trying not to be as crappy at drawing as I was for the first 50 years of my life. *Googles synthetic vision*

What is ‘the N-word in German’? How can I make a judgement if they don’t tell me? Also google translate says ‘Petit Colon’ means little colon, like small intestine I guess? Also also, I guess paper football is the official sport of white supremacists.
Google translate, this surprises me, didn’t tell me I was racist and it wouldn’t translate ‘the N-word in German’, and according to that rigorous research it’s the same exact word.

Oh, here it is from Cracked.
Funny that they are going to latch on to crazy lady ramming police cars with her vehicle as proof of a corrupt murder-police running wild.
You might be able to argue one way or another on “justified shooting” in that case, but I can tell you for certain that police shooting someone who is driving their vehicle like that is never, ever going to be found to be a “bad shoot”. They’ll OK shooting someone driving away if a cop happens to run anywhere close to being in the path of the car. This one is a non-starter. I don’t care if one of the cops turned out to be crazy later.
This is why we can’t have nice things. We have several completely unjustifiable police shootings every year – at least one a month – and they always try to run with the ones that are not clear cut but are useful to the narrative.
OT: From 2006 to 2019 (13 years, roughly 156 months) I never went to the dentist. When I finally did go, they only discovered one cavity. That’s an average of 0.006 cavities per month. However, at my scheduled checkup six months later, they found two cavities. The rate had increased to 0.33 cavities per month.
Conclusion: Going to the dentist will cause you to have 5,400% more cavities than you otherwise would.
Science™!
I’m going to the dentist tomorrow! And I didn’t even have to cry to get an appointment.

Morning, gentlemen.
I need better weather for my current vacation. It’s been gray and chilly, and a couple of days ago we spent the better part of the day running the Shop-Vac to suck up the puddles that seep into our basement after multiple days of torrential rain.
Better down than up. Mornin’ GT! Roof leakage is the Devil.
Substrate is his cackling minion.
Our street slopes downhill slightly, and our lots are terraced. If it rains long enough (or before the ground has thawed in the spring) water tends to collect at the bottom of the slope on the uphill side of our lot. It then runs all the way under our two-car garage and seeps onto the basement floor from behind some pretty nice built-in closets. We put in a trench drain some years back, which has helped a lot, but addressing the rest of the problem would require ripping out those closets. It doesn’t seem worth it for something that only happens once or twice per year.
We’re on a slope too. Every property owner blames the one just upstream. Downstream neighbor was pretty tight-assed about the situation. Should have just rented.
I miss being able to enjoy the sound of rain without having to worry about the house.
I miss being a wistful thirteen year-old girl too.
LOL, bravo Festus.
I was hoping SOMEONE would notice…
I was ignoring you, because otherwise, I would say something severely unkind.
“Oh hurt me, hurt me! Gag me with a spoon…”
I have been known to go out on our back porch and sit on my (wooden with a cotton mattress) futon during evening thunderstorms. The porch does have a metal roof, but I think it’s aluminum, so that’s not too dangerous, right? /crappy public school science education
T-storms are so awesome to sit and listen to
Morning.
This sums up my mood today: https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/4ay-Mq51TRy7CJdMY4eHBA.v5rzQorMMG14BVm7hJtBp9
Took yestersay off…was supposed to float down a river but life got in the way.
I’m starting to think about restarting my boat project. It’s about fifth in line but may get bumped up a place or two.
Even by the offical metrics albany shouldn’t be locked down anymore.
When is it over with?
I dunno, but traffic was crazy heavy this morning. /sadpanda
Nearly rear-ended some cunte on the highway tonight. People have lost their fucking minds out there. Merge lane means merge with the traffic flow and not just follow the lines and signs. If I’d mashed him it would be seen as my fault.
Wifey and I noticed that too yesterday when out and about…more idiotic than normal Vegas drivers.
People here like to go from the lefthand turn lane and make a right or vice-versa. I blame GPS and reliance upon it.
When it’s good and ready! Go to your room!

You’re lucky, apprently the site decided my flipping you off was spam.
It’s the thought that counts!
I’m getting a four day weekend. YAY!
This work week has been so weird. Taking people’s temps, wearing face masks, etc.
The interesting thing has been that people seem quite happy to be back to work.
On the Covid front, our superintendent of schools finally said the first sane thing he’s uttered in more than a month. They had been discussing doing a hybrid opening this fall – Open 4 days a week, half the kids go monday and thursday, half go tuesday and friday. Wednesdays closed to clean the school down.
So…. none of the benefit of having school open, and all of the costs of having it closed?
Anyway, yesterday he said they would be adjusting to the situation as it comes…. which is the only sane answer. If you have a hotspot outbreak, you handle that. But you can’t just shut down the world because a bad-but-not-apocalyptic virus comes along.
As a reminder, this was the US dealing with Polio.
Pre vaccines, every year looked like the worst of covid 19.
I’m of a mind that everyone born post 1900 is acting like a spoiled fucking brat.
What if Judge Nap actually wrote a declarative sentence? Reminds me of the narrator of Ancient Aliens – “Could it be….???”
Would we recognize his work?
That’s my guess.
Elin Musk defied the spin machine. So now they are mobilizing to destroy him.

If he doesn’t back down, expect a metoo moment.
Or a racists past. Him or his second cousin twice removed.
He’s no hero of mine but shooting people into space is some mean, green dancing machine.
I think you are onto something. Maybe their next invention will be that it was racist not to sexually harass someone.
