Hello.
I don’t often have time to read the links my esteemed colleagues post, so if I am repeating any links below, just imagine drugs falling out of the link’s ass.
Thank you.

I never thought I would have more reasons to look down on Cincinnati. They will never recover from the abomination they call chili.
And gods damned motherfuckers:

SERENITY NOW!
Our mayor did the same thing starting today, after he spent weeks encouraging and participating in protests. I may go out later. Without a mask. Fuck him.
YOU SHUT YOUR FILTHY WHORE MOUTH!
Skyline (and to a lesser degree Goldstar) chili is a Gift from G_d
Next you’ll be standing for pineapple on your tavern cut pizza. That leads to madness.
I dont insist on pizza cut in squares, its just that 2 chains here (Cassano’s and Donato’s) ship em out that way.
The day i think that pineapple belongs on pizza is the day someone has to cut me down from a garage rafter.
And fuck that spaghetti mess. I only do coneys.
Fuck that spaghetti mess? Man… you used to be cool.
Im a purist.
Coney is the correct way to do chili.
And its a greek dish that got translated (poorly) to chili, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the other dish called chili SO STOP TRYING TO COMPARE THEM.
The Coney is the only acceptable menu item.
Skyline is the Greek Meat Gravy of the Gods. I don’t know why the ‘Nati call it chili. But it tastes good. I fucking love it. And I was born in Cleveland. I own property in Cleveland.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_chili
Meh, my Chili started out as a Goldstar clone and then evolved from there to the best chili on the planet. Your Chili is gay and not really Chili. In fact, no Chili that is not based on Cincy Chili, is totally gay and not chili, and sucks.
You talk like a fag and your shit’s all retarded.
I generally serve my chili as a dip with about half a pound of shredded cheese melted on top. I use chipotle, poblano, jalapeno, cayenne, bell, and ghost peppers in it. No beans, as is proper.
You tell ’em!
All those voters of color are deluding themselves if they think they are anything but cannon fodder in the war for power in Washington.

And I got yelled at by Chafed for not reading the links, that may have even used my name!
Go stand in the corner.
This is not even a joke article. It’s just pointing out exactly what’s happening.
It’s sad when satire is less ridiculous than just posting trite summations of reality.
I have a Citizen watch that I love, but it has a silver bracelet band. I would like one that’s gold (gold colored, not real gold. I ain’t Leona Helmsley). Any recommendations for traditional watch brands (i.e. not digital) that are in the $300-$400 price range for men’s models?
Under budget: Seiko 5
Rufus turned me on to this place.
I bought a customized Orient in that range. Love it.
Looks like they only have, like, 3 watches with gold bands. They have some two-tones that I might consider.
Movado or GTFO.
I’d like to know more about the pictured cocktails.
#metoo I’m a sucker for sexy blue drinks. The red and white just add to the sexiness.
Heh. One thing that was said back in the day is, “Once one asshole orders a blue drink, the rest of the bar will want one too.”
Because they are so pretty!
Yep, and they’re eye catching. Same as why tonic based drinks are popular any place that runs black lights.
I’ve learned that I’m apparently in a test market for a new line of Schweppes premium mixers, the 1783 line. I’ve got the Bitter Lemon Tonic water and the Tahitian Lime Ginger Beer in the fridge. I tried them last night, and they are solid. Not quite up to Fever Tree levels, but the Schweppes was on sale the past couple days in the grocery store.
If Schweppes would ditch the HFCS,I’d be happy with them. The name Fever Tree is offputting.
No HFCS in these premium mixers, they use cane sugar.
Fever tree is named after the original name of the tree the bark came from for tonic water.
You know what else is great? Blue ice cream.
Rite Aid has a Cotton Candy flavor ice cream that’s really good, not at all sickly sweet like you might imagine. Half hot pink, half rich blue. I like to eat the blue ice cream the most, it seems to have a different flavor, but I might be letting my eyes influence my taste like they used to say was the case with Shamrock Shakes.
I picked up some of that Rebel keto ice cream today.
Front page image (While pretty I don’t think I’d like it.)
I would like this one, which is the header image:
Citrus-Spangled Spritzer
Pro tip: Pour each element over the back of a spoon so they don’t mix.
1 PART CITRUS VODKA
1 PART BLUE CURACAO LIQUEUR
2 PARTS LEMON SODA
1 PART GRENADINE
LEMON FOR GARNISH
BLUEBERRIES FOR GARNISH
MINT SPRIG FOR GARNISH
Lightly mix the vodka and lemon soda in a cocktail shaker with ice and set aside. In a tall glass, add the grenadine slowly to the bottom.
Fill the glass with crushed ice. Strain the vodka soda mixture over the back of a bar spoon, followed by the blue curacao. Garnish with fresh mint, lemon rind star and berries (optional).
Thank you. ?
Always happy to be an enabler.
That sounds absolutely yummy and is just the sort of thing upon which I would overindulge on my birthday and have a mighty sugar-enhanced hangover. Thanks.

“We’re in an unprecedented pandemic,” Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told JAMA. “We haven’t seen anything like this for the last 102 years in 1918, and this is something that we need to take very seriously because there’s so many implications of it.”
——-
“You don’t want to balance lives against the economy,” Fauci said. “So let’s get public health to help us to get the economy open as opposed to two opposing forces.”
Whatever that is supposed to mean.
Where do I find a job where being wrong about everything wouldn’t get me canned?

Hey!
My Dad was a mathematician and college professor. Much harder to be frequently wrong long-term in math and still be employed.
I was looking for the Dr. Thomas Sowell quote to that effect but did not find it. I did find this one, a real gem….he has so many….but I had not read this one before.
“In a democracy, we have always had to worry about the ignorance of the uneducated. Today we have to worry about the ignorance of people with college degrees.”
“It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”
-Thomas Sowell
That is the one, I think. It is from Vision of the Anointed I am fairly certain.
Thank you. I could have paraphrased but I prefer actual quotes. Then I took a shine to the one I found and forgot what I was looking for.
My favorite Sowell quotes:
***
The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.
The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.
People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

I think he’s saying “Learn to code”.
I was reading a novel recently that included details about the Spanish Flu pandemic and said it killed 50-100 million people worldwide, when the world’s population was far less than today. That’s a heckuva difference between that and 400,000 worldwide like covid currently is. It also killed a lot of young, healthy people, the opposite of covid.
What I would find the most educational — and seems to be missing from all the ‘information’ out there — is how many of the people who have died because of covid would have died of something else pushing them over the edge this year? A lot of the victims have been very elderly, were nursing home residents or were otherwise severely medically compromised, and you have to think that a flu or pneumonia or a sepsis or stroke might have taken these folks without the pandemic ever existing. But I guess people would be outraged to even try to estimate such numbers, because as we all know, without covid and Trump everyone would be immortal.
Why do you hate grandma and want her to die?

Oooh – “alt-media”. You gotta love the snotty tone. And the conveniently forgotten fact that all the experts were telling us NOT to wear masks at the height of the fucking plague.

https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/arizona-vintage-shop-praised-sign-masks
***
The Phoenix, Ariz., shop, Antique Sugar, has posted a sign outside its building advising customers they must wear a mask while inside. However, it’s the sarcastic ultimatum at the end that has people talking.
“If you choose not to wear a mask, we respectfully ask that you postpone your visit,” the sign reads. “We will be happy to debate the efficacy of masks with you when this is all over and you come in to sell your dead grandmother’s clothes.”
***
That’s one way to alienate customers.
I was discussing this with my brother-in-law last weekend. There’s a dividing line being drawn in shopping where some are requiring masks, and others are not. The ones that are requiring masks are driving off customers (waves hand), the ones that aren’t requiring masks are also probably driving off customers (those who won’t go somewhere if everyone else isn’t wearing a mask). It’s almost like we could let the market decide without mandates, but then how would we show that we’re better than the people we disagree with?
Dear Sugar, I will be postponing my visit permanently. You never seem to ever have anything new anyway.
It’s recently occurred to me that what we are lacking in our modern world is a capability to compartmentalize.
My grandmothers have been dead for years you self righteous fuck stains.
/not directed at you Derpetologist.
Even if it had been, I’ve earned it. My cocky stride and musky odor have offended more than a few. Oh, I’ll never be the darling of the *city fathers*, who stroke their beards, cluck their tongues, and cry “what’s to be done with this Derpetologist?!”
If they want to be so damn sanctimonious they should just close altogether because masks aren’t that effective.
When the hell did being “self righteous” become something to aspire to? Is it because they’ve never been (intentionally) religious that they don’t see the warning signs?
This is certainly true of some of them.
I thought the church of Climatology was the peak of their spirituality, but they seem the find “the Right Side of History” on a swath of issues.
I don’t get it either.

I hovered over the “links to fuel your rage drinking” and decided to not click on any of them. I’m heading out for dinner.
Before I leave, the head of ReopenNH has written a nice op-ed which ends with:
As such, today ReopenNH proclaims a new Declaration of Independence that invites every free person in the State of New Hampshire to protest the governor’s unlawful orders by ignoring them flatly and turning any busybody away with emphasis. Put up a ReopenNH sticker in your business’s window with a note that says, “Be Advised: This business is engaging in an indefinite, one-time ReopenNH protest of the governor’s unlawful emergency orders. Enter at your own risk.” If some government official attempts to shut you down, peaceably throw them out. That’s how liberty works.
And I can assure you, if you’d care to advertise as a business how seriously you are taking your clients’ freedom this summer, especially surrounding Independence Day, the free market will do the rest.
I took down my Drink Beer Made Here flag today, and put the Whiskey Rebellion flag back up. It was either that or a Gadsden.

Egould – I missed your response the other day to my comment about the cathedral in St Paul. I was referring to the aptly-named Cathedral of St. Paul. It’s stunning to look at both inside and out. I also like it’s location — it sits at the top of the hill and sits in almost direct opposition to the capitol building (which admittedly is also a nice-looking building).
Thanks. I’ll try to work it into the Honey Harvest adventure.

There’s gonna be a lot of sports crammed in the end of August.
I was debating going to the 500 in August, but wife is gonna be too pregnant by then to comfortably make the flight, and it’s gonna be a PITA to get tickets.

Which means, I believe, all races, religions, and belief system can pick their own anthem.

I was hoping it would be “Jungle Boogie” and yes, I do realize now, that sounds pretty racist but in my defense, that is a fucking slamming tune.
Earlier, Jugsy had ‘The Longest Yard’ on (the newer one, which- isnt horrible). The receiver, played by Nelly, did an impressive try-out in nearly bare feet, and Chris Rock said “See how he ran? He got slave feet!”

Sowell said something like: 100 years ago, it would not be necessary to put up signs warning people to stay away from bison, because even the dumbest farmboy would know how dangerous they are.
A bison walked right by my car when I was in Yellowstone last year. If I had rolled down the window, I could have touched him. Yellowstone is worth the visit. Inspiration Point is aptly named. Old Faithful does not quite live up to the hype, but the geyser field it’s in is cool. I saw grizzly, bison, and elk all in the same day.
The best bison herd is in the Wichita Mountains state park in Oklahoma. I got stuck while waiting for the herd that surrounded me to move. There’s a pretty good burger place near there called Meer’s but I never got a chance to eat there.
For my next road trip, I want to drive across Kansas, hit all the national parks in Colorado and Utah, and then finish up at Wind Cave in South Dakota.
I’ll say this. Bison/Buffalo are one of the stupidest creatures to inhabit Gods Green earth. Only the average human being surpasses it’s ability for utter mindlessness.

Buffalo Bisons hardest challenged.
Heck. You can go see a bison herd in Kentucky down the road from Cumberland state park (also a nice observatoty/planetarium nearby IIRC)

I heard about this on the news yesterday. The newschick said park officials warn you should stay 25 feet away from Bison. I thought “b.s.”
Sure enough, it’s 25 yards. No wonder people who listen to tv news readers have no idea what is true and what isn’t.
I forgot to note that it is all Trump’s fault for allowing maroons to camp on Federal property. You see, we need him to act like a dictator except for when he actually acts like a dictator.
I was walking on a boardwalk there near some hot springs. Suddenly, about 20 feet ahead, a bison ran across the board walk. After a moment, I started across and said to the other folks with me, if we cross as a group, we’re safe. And so I led them like Moses at the Red Sea.
I’ve been around bigger beasts. A giraffe stuck his head in the car during one of my safaris in Africa.

They’re tiny, so you have to get really close, if you want a good shot.
If they’re burning elk statues, expect to see this go soon

Ungulates are part of the patriarchy, like Dolphins, Brobcos, and Buffalos.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they go after that. Why did they go after the elk statue, because it was there?
Forget it Jake, it’s Portland.

Some female engineer gave a nice cafeteria lady shit and went to HR because she called the engineer “Hon”. She called everyone that and was as nice a person as you’d ever meet. Everyone told the dickhead to get bent and the cafeteria lady kept calling everyone “Hon”.

The socialist vision is quite different. Not “as many people as possible, as many products sold as possible.” We understand that if jobs are hard and endless, that’s a social failure. We want to reduce the workweek, give people the leisure to pursue things that truly make life good.

Ah, yes. If there’s one thing socialism in known for, it’s ample leisure time, which comes in handy when they need to stand in a bread line for 2 hours every day. They’ve certainly had great success in reducing their surplus populations.

Pomp and Circumstance isn’t as bad as this processional that the overnight classical music syndicator the local station uses played.
Worse, the host followed it up with video game music.

There’s a difference between composers who don’t get played enough and crap, you know.

Chinaman Gulch and Confederate Gulch are no more. Well, the geographic features and their roads are still there – the names have to go. The BLM (no, the govt dept) put duct tape over the names and the guy running for local state rep pulled the tape off.

“Chinaman” was kinda iffy. Even back in my day it was pretty much like using “darkie”
I guess I better get a shot of the White Earth Campground sign quick. First letter at least needs to be lower case.
I’m good friends with a Chinaman who’s nickname is The Chinaman. That man can mix a very fine cocktail. And if you’re lucky enough, next time you’re in Chicago, he’ll mix one for you.

Mass casualty event, if we’re lucky
For President Trump, nothing could be more natural than to stand alongside such giants of American history. On Friday night, he will travel to Mount Rushmore for an early Independence Day party, reviving the environmentally worrisome tradition of July Fourth fireworks over their massive carved likenesses.
Such frivolity might seem in poor taste amid a fast-worsening pandemic — and unwise since social distancing won’t be required at the event. But the holiday that celebrates independence from Britain is being used to bolster Trump’s false narrative that the country is doing just fine.
“We’re headed back in a very strong fashion … and I think we are going to be very good with the coronavirus,” Trump told Fox Business on Wednesday, a day after his government’s top infectious disease specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, had warned that the US could soon see 100,000 new cases per day.
The Mount Rushmore state, South Dakota, has not been as badly hit by the virus as much of the rest of the heartland. But it only takes one infected person in what is expected to be a big crowd to seed new outbreaks.

Waaaaay down at the bottom was a flat line: The positive infection rate.

I hope we see a million and get this shit over with.

Hemingway said that the only real sports are mountain climbing, bullfighting, and race car driving. And then for some reason, he shot himself.
Probably because he was an asshole.

How did the pros evaluate his self-professed ability? Jack Dempsey, who spent time in Paris in the ‘20s being feted and fawned over, had this to say of Hemingway’s aspirations:
There were a lot of Americans in Paris and I sparred with a couple, just to be obliging…. But there was one fellow I wouldn’t mix it with. That was Ernest Hemingway. He was about twenty-five or so and in good shape, and I was getting so I could read people, or anyway men, pretty well. I had this sense that Hemingway, who really thought he could box, would come out of the corner like a madman. To stop him, I would have to hurt him badly, I didn’t want to do that to Hemingway. That’s why I never sparred with him.
Given Hemingway’s penchant for self-delusion in this matter, he may have interpreted this as Dempsey’s capitulation to his obvious prowess. An even more scathing critique of Hemingway’s bullying… I mean boxing skill … comes to us via Booktryst’s Stephen J. Gertz, who proffers an amusing dissection of the letter above, an unpublished correspondence Hemingway sent in 1943 to George Brown, the writer’s “trainer, coach, friend, and factotum.” Brown, it seems, was kindly, or prudent, enough to encourage his employer in his delusions. However, Gertz writes, “the reality was that anyone who had even the slightest idea of what they were doing in the ring could take Hemingway, who was notorious for foolishly trying to actually fight trained boxers.” He’s lucky, then, that Dempsey practiced such judicious restraint. If not, we may never have seen any fiction from Hemingway after he tried to go a round or two with the champ.

Set blamethrower to max dispersion
In June of this year, 424 people were shot, and 89 were murdered — compared to 242 shootings and 50 murders during the same month last year.
Last weekend alone, gun violence killed more than a dozen people, including three children. Twelve people were killed on Father’s Day weekend, including a 3-year-old.
The city plans to deploy 1,200 extra officers over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, according to WGN TV.
When asked about the rise in violence, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Democrat, said it was a “complicated” question and suggested that gun control is the answer.
“That’s a complicated question,” Lightfoot said. “We have way too many guns on the streets.”
Those guns, roaming the streets looking for likely victims. Round them up.
It’s a good thing they have her to come up with such innovative solutions.
Have they tried defunding the police? I hear that might help.
Needs more social workers.
Ban travel from Indiana. Its the only smart decision.
Nobody committed murder before guns were invented. It is known.
Hey all! Irregular commentator, here. Well, my happy Fourth of July present is a case of da coof courtesy of my in-laws. My sister in law and her adult son gifted me via the prison hospital they work at. Yay!
So far it is just a weird cold, I had a low-grade fever for the first couple days. the fever seems to have broke for the most part. However, I am now getting a cough every now and again and some weird pain in my chest, the pain feels intercostal. My test hasn’t come back yet, but the son’s test is positive so using my superior analytic skills I surmise that mine will as well.
Sorry 🙁
Hope you feel better soon.
Crap, sorry man. Hoping for a speedy recovery.
Get well soon!
Well I am a relatively young feller in decent health so I am probably going to be okay. Mrs. Frankelson works for a family siting their elderly parent. So she is out of work for the time being which sucks but so it goes.
And as I understand it, being of Caucasian extraction ensures that I will survive to continue oppressing everyone.
You should ask for hcq and zinc.
That sucks. Good luck. Let us know how you’re doing.
Should have gone to some protests then you would be immune. Get well soon!
I think my mistake was being sympathetic to the counter-lock down. Having the incorrect politics put me at increased risk, it is known.
Wishing you best. If you’re healthy enough to post, I wouldn’t be worried. My sister had it a few months ago and said it was awful. She recovered though.

One day last fall, I had some unexplained dizziness. The next morning, my girlfriend woke me up and informed me that my skin was on fire. Sure enough, I had a wicked fever. We went to the local urgent care where I was prescribed some cough syrup (which turned me into a zombie) but never got a culture test done.
For the next seven weeks, I was coughing up a storm every day. It was so bad that I strained some intercostal muscles/tendons. I would wake up in the middle of the night with coughing fits so bad that they caused regurgitation. At about week 5 of illness, I lost my voice. I sounded like Vito Corleone for the next three weeks (which caused a lot of Godfather jokes when we all went out to an Italian restaurant for my friend’s birthday).
By New Years, I was better (since I remember feeling great but not being able to let out a full yell at the stroke of midnight).
A week later, I hear that there’s some mysterious virus sweeping the nation that causes cold/flu-like symptoms. Hmm…

An Oregon state trooper is on administrative leave and officials have apologized after coffee shop owners say the trooper used profanity and scoffed at the state’s mask mandate when he and other officers were asked to wear one.
“Oregon State Police Troopers are not above the law and this conduct is being immediately addressed,” Travis Hampton, Superintendent of the Oregon State Police, said in a statement emailed to CNN.
On Wednesday, four troopers entered a Corvallis coffee shop without wearing face masks despite the statewide mandate issued by Gov. Kate Brown requiring facial coverings in indoor public spaces, Robert and Kathryn Morgan, owners of Allan’s Coffee and Tea, said in an emailed statement to CNN.
According to the Morgans, when the troopers were asked to put on masks, one officer “used profanity to disparage the Governor and express his political opinion that the Governor could not infringe on his civil liberties and that businesses need not worry about complying with the order because law enforcement would not be enforcing the order.”
——-
The four officers entered without masks around 8:30 a.m. on July 1 and sat down in the shop with no masks after purchasing beverages.
“We were aware of the divisive climate during this time and the fact that face coverings have become a politicized issue so we expected that our employees may receive some backlash from customers regarding this new policy,” the statement from the owners said.
“However, we did not expect that within the first hour of the state mandate four uniformed State Police Officers would defy the orders, enter our cafe without wearing a face mask and refuse requests to wear one.”
Hampton, the state police superintendent, called the conduct “embarrassing and indefensible, especially in the wake of thousands of Oregonians taking to the streets each day to rightfully demand police accountability. Like any police misconduct, the actions of a few bring discredit to the scores of dedicated officers that do not believe they are above the law they are sworn to uphold.”
Hampton apologized in his statement for the actions of the troopers and said they will be held accountable, although he didn’t specify whether they were receiving disciplinary action and what the action would be.
In a Facebook post Friday, Gov. Brown said she invited three of the troopers to meet with her.
“We talked about kids, our families, and the importance of setting a good example. They took responsibility and expressed real regret for their actions. And they pledged to do better,” she wrote.
“And they pledged to do better.”
Pussies.
And face coverings have been politicized, you say? How could that possibly have happened?

After several months of mixed messages on the coronavirus pandemic, the White House is settling on a new one: Learn to live with it.
——
At the crux of the message, officials said, is a recognition by the White House that the virus is not going away any time soon — and will be around through the November election.
As a result, President Donald Trump’s top advisers plan to argue, the country must figure out how to press forward despite it. Therapeutic drugs will be showcased as a key component for doing that and the White House will increasingly emphasize the relatively low risk most Americans have of dying from the virus, officials said.
——-
In recent weeks, the message has been that the country is back, face coverings and social distancing are optional, even as the number of coronavirus cases across the country surged.
“We have to get back to business. We have to get back to living our lives. Can’t do this any longer,” Trump said in an interview with Axios last month before his campaign rally in Tulsa, where almost no one socially distanced and few wore masks. “And I do believe it’s safe. I do believe it’s very safe.” A number of Trump’s own campaign staffers and Secret Service agents contracted COVID-19 in Tulsa.
Eager to move forward and reopen the economy amid a recession and a looming presidential election, the White House is now pushing acceptance.
“The virus is with us, but we need to live with it,” is how one official said the administration plans to message on the pandemic.
We can’t stay under our beds forever, waiting for the monster outside to get bored and go away?
A number of staffers and SS agents “contracted” the virus. That’s all you need to know their condition is of no importance.
I bet we’d be hearing about it if one of them was in the hospital.
Officials also plan to emphasize high survival rates, particularly for Americans who are within certain age groups and don’t have underlying conditions. The overall death rate from COVID-19 in the U.S. has been on the decline. More than 130,000 Americans have died of the virus.
Fake news.
You ever notice how they can’t pick one metric and stick with it?
When the death rate appeared high, they emphasized that. Then it was “daily new cases”. Now I’m hearing about the overall positive test rate, which of course was recently found to have included positive antibody tests in many states, thereby fucking up 100% of the usefulness of those results.
