It was the best of weeks, it was the worst of weeks. Slavers are running in overdrive and people are starting to get fucking tired of being run by slavers. Thanksgiving is under a legal cloud and turkeys everywhere are rejoicing. The clown show in DC continues, and it’s both destructive and entertaining. I can’t decide whether to shit or wind my wristwatch. So… whatever.
Administrative Notice: Please get your Thanksgiving recipes submitted! We don’t want to make SP cry.
Birthdays today include a steamy guy; a guy who always looked good in a uniform; a guy who made me what I am today; one of the American Holy Trinity; another great American artist, with much emphasis on “American”; a guy who would be fully at home in the modern Democrat Party; a woman who could rock an eyepatch and you wouldn’t know it; a guy who was only a wee bit crazy; a truly influential guy who became a less influential gal; one of my personal heroes and a damn nice guy who has disappointed me a bit; a horse-faced moron who is giving his mom a reason to not die; one of Team Red’s many sexist racist homophobic politicians; and a moray eel attached to Obama’s anus.
Time for the news!
It’s always the Number 2 guy. We seem to settle for mediocrity.
…and then he killed another 10,000 nursing home residents.

We have our own deBlasio here.
Old Guy Music this week is a something a bit tragic and introspective, verging on depressing, but fuck, what a great song. And it really shows off how terrific Matt’s voice is.
From the Tempe article:
“We understand freedom of religion but…”
Narrator’s voice: they didn’t understand freedom of religion
What I found interesting is that the article didn’t really call out specific Tempe politicians like Mayor Woods.
I also like how he refers to it as “a slap in the face.” Talk about telling on yourself. Yes, it’s all about _you_, not about people wanting to live their lives.
Meh, our renegade preacher plans on starting a prison ministry after the jail him. That’s Martha Stewart level badassed, right there!
I guess Tempe is lacking in (((these guys))) to round up. Do we have a symbol for Xtians?
+++Them+++ ?
Appropriate.
† ?
Also appropriate, considering that for a lot of people, Christianity’s a mere cultural footnote now.
I’m surprised that there isn’t an army of lawyers chomping at the bit to take in these slam dunk potential court cases. It seems like a no brainier way to hit the big bucks.
Fixed it for you.
Sure they do. Freedom is a carrot that government officials use to motivate proper behavior.
If you dance to the bureaucrats’ tune, you are awarded a piece of freedom, with conditions. And you should be thankful to government for the freedom nugget, not to Hod or to Nature or any of that “natural state of man” claptrap.
This is probably the best description of the modern authoritarian view of freedom that I’ve ever seen.
Hey, don’t people get in shitload of trouble for comparing Valerie Jarrett to animals?
OK, how about if I call her a cunt? Is that better? Or does that imply pussy, which is an animal?
This is all very confusing.
Dunno for sure, but DO NOT MENTION the animal she actually resembles.
For the record, this does not look anything like VJ.
Rhymes with Jarrett?
A snake?
I don’t know that cat but the mention of J Mascis got me to click. Good stuff.
#metoo He went from GG Allin And The Murder Junkies to Dinosaur Jr. to this? Love me some Mascis. Thanks for the tune OMWC, it was depressing but well done.
“Trump rains on Ivanka’s NYC parade: First daughter struts down Park Avenue as she returns to $4m pad in bid to reclaim socialite status – which will be even harder after her father threatened to withhold vaccine from New Yorkers ”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8947815/Ivanka-returns-NYC-time-father-lost-election.html
“‘He should be ashamed of himself’: Cuomo slams ‘bully’ Trump for threatening to withhold vaccine from New York until governor admits it’s safe and says real reason president is angry is criminal probes”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8947683/Donald-Trump-breaks-days-silence-White-House-claim-wave-COVID-testing.html
So this is the new “good people on both sides”??
Apparently so. Bald faced lie verifiable on video, but hey, who needs evidence?
So did Cuomo not say that he was going to withhold the vaccine from New Yorkers until he decreed they could have it?
It sounds like the government held a gun to a guy’s head with one hand while offering to negotiate on your behalf with the other hand.
Or like the government breaking your leg then trying to claim moral high ground for tending your wounds.
I guess Cuomo’s refusal of a vaccine unless Joe hands it out has been memory-holed.
If it’s in the news, it’s likely an outright lie or at least a lie by omission of half the facts.
As it is in this case. Cuomo said he would refuse the vaccine in his state because he didn’t trust Trump. Trump said, fine, I’ll send the vaccine when you approve of it.
Remember, we will most likely end up with Kamala Harris as President and might have Andrew Cuomo as Attorney General.
Cuomo as AG. And y’all think I’m crazy that they will do political prosecutions of Trump Admin people. We know what they did when Trump was in power.
If Cuomo goes to Washington, it’s almost impossible to believe that there is someone even worse waiting in the wings to take his place in Albany but that’s how it always goes here so I wonder who it is.
“Anthony Weiner has cleaned up his act I hear” is the funny response but sadly he’s probably a better choice than what will actually happen.
“‘Boy did we screw up! What a mess!’ Billionaire Charles Koch says he regrets funding the Tea Party because it gave rise to Donald Trump – and DIDN’T stop vast government spending”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8947565/Charles-Koch-says-regrets-funding-Tea-Party-gave-rise-Donald-Trump.html
You mean it turns out populism doesn’t have a libertarian bent? Where is my shocked face?
I guess Congress had nothing to do with that.
Now you are getting it.
Cause and effect, how does it work?
The Tea Party didn’t “give rise” to Donald Trump, any more than Occupy Wall Street “gave rise” to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
Donald Trump and the Tea Party are both expressions of frustration but they’re not coming from the exact same place. The former, ultimately, was more successful than the latter, because he spoke to multiple kinds of frustration.
There has not been a Congressional majority willing to even think about cutting spending since 1999. The Tea Party never achieved all that much electoral success, and so they were ignored. Some of them went on to support Trump, but they have received absolutely no home at all among either Democrats or mainstream Republicans, so that fact is hardly surprising.
Yet Trump would have gone nowhere with the support of Tea Party types alone; if they were solely or primarily responsible for his success, then they would have been able to achieve legislative success as well.
*puts constitution on desk, spins it around and stabs finger on “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
” Pay special attention to ‘Congress shall make no law….prohibiting….the right of the people to peaceably assemble.
They can assemble for religious, economic or personal reasons. You see your honor, they don’t have the power to do this”
Judge – “They. have been granted emergency powers by law, so yeah, they can.”
“Ok, so your are saying the legislature made a law that they are specifically forbidden to make and that is why they get to do what they want? What are you? A fourteen year old sociopath? Did you go to law school?..Yeah? At this ‘school’ did they have any books? Yeah? Did you read any of them? Ahhh, now I am being cited for contempt because I am seeking to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Imagine that.”
America needs more assholes in the citizenry and fewer in government.
*clicks like button*
The gov of Oregon just announced Oregon law enforcement would have the authority to arrest everyone at household gatherings of more than six people from two households. We’ve gone far beyond this being even a semblance of covid control.
Per CP’s link above, I think the Koch’s are misguided for placing out of control gov spending as their number one priority. There much more pressing dangers to liberty already here and knocking doors down. I’ve no doubt people like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn would agree.
This is not going to end well. I fear there’s going to be gun play sometime over thanksgiving.
No, no, Portlandia is protesting FOR yet more of this bullshit. They’d like to see some seriously populated camps go up.
Is this to compensate for the fact that no one invited him to parties in childhood/ teen years because he was ab insufferable douche even back then?
Per CP’s link above, I think the Koch’s are misguided for placing out of control gov spending as their number one priority.
I disagree strongly. The unenumerated fourth branch of our government lives off of that money. The degree to which we have been taxed to buy our own chains and masters should not be underestimated.
Of course but perspective is needed. When you have a cancer patient dying of a gunshot wound, you don’t triage systemic oncology treatment over stopping the hemorrhaging. Triage the immediate priorities (2nd A infringements, tyrannical lockdowns, etc) and then go over after the gov overspending.
I hardly think Solzhenitsyn gave a shit how much the gov was spending while his friends and family were being carted off and lined up. When everything is a priority then nothing is a priority.
Can you remove the tumor while you’re in there taking out the bullet?
After our county health director said that you shouldn’t celebrate Thanksgiving with people outside your house, I had to tell the girlfriend it was an illegal order.

They are dumbasses alright, and given Trumps record of kicking their asses I would not be surprised if he comes out on top in this. I am not hopeful but every time they think they have him cornered he got his teeth in their nut sack.
Agree. It’s 2020, the year of wall to wall big lies. Anything could happen here. Nothing is going to happen in a PA state court. Diana Ross’s band is going to decide this.

I think you mean Barefoot and Pregnant.
At my daughters soccer game and was told by the coach and ref that i need to put on a mask out here in an open field or else our team will forfeit the game. Now im watching from my car and can barely see. Soccer sucks anyway so whatever.
Is that legal per the rules of whichever org governs youth soccer?
No idea. I dont know who makes that decision and finding out isnt worth causing the girls to forfeit.
They pulled the same shit on us. It lasted 2 weeks before everybody was maskless and not social distancing.
I about pulled my daughter out of soccer, but she’s not old enough to understand disassociating on principle. She would’ve thought she was being punished.
We’ve done our best to keep masks off our kids as much as possible. I think they’ve only had to wear them once for an appointment at the eye doctor. I’m worried about the long-term damage this constant culture of fear may cause, especially when reinforced with mask delusions.
meant in reference to being good on this: It lasted 2 weeks before everybody was maskless and not social distancing.
“Well I’m actually here to support the other team, so make them forfeit.”
Good morning, Old Man!
Verging on depressing?!? No, my friend, that is full-on depressing.

“We are in a life-or-death situation, and if we don’t act right now, we cannot preserve the lives, we can’t keep saving lives, and we will absolutely crush our current health care system and infrastructure,” Democratic Gov.

I was wrong about then giving up on covid lockdowns once Biden won…
They just like their power that have abrogated to themselves.
I wasn’t. I knew it was going to ramp up. We haven’t seen anything yet.
Biden promised a nationwide lockdown if the experts advised it. His possibly soon to be expert is already advocating for it.
I dont know how far they can take this but I still think there is a scary chance of it coming to blows.
The best part is Biden just tweeted the national lockdown will last 4-6 weeks. If you thought the one that had a hard 15 day limit was fun, wait until you see the one with a vague end date.
I’ve been saying for a couple of weeks that the current surge will peak right around Thanksgiving and then decline, just based on the timeline of previous ones. This will be just right for the authoritarians to take credit for their lockdowns saving the world, despite the fact that the curve will be basically the same in areas that don’t have lockdowns.

Some economists say the crisis has been falsely portrayed as a choice between the economy and public health. Instead, they argue that the economy cannot recover until the virus is brought under control and people are confident enough to go shopping, eat at restaurants and do other things again.
Some Economists say the darnedest things.
Funny that the economy was looking up by, you know, letting people go back to work and their lives.
They need max damage now, so the wimpy recovery can be claimed as a huge win for Kamala. It worked ( in their minds, anyway) for Obama. Nobodies gonna notice the difference between the cheeto economy and the brain dead/cop sucker economies, except for what the nightly news tells them.
I have a vague memory of Pelosi explaining that we should believe the D’s word on the economy over their bank statements.
Something to do with crumbs, or was a different one?
Someone I know thinks Trump voters are morons. I guess even a moron can see that his paychecks are higher and (if applicable) his tax burden lower.
Public good. Public health.
Bullshit. The largest group I’m willing to treat as a collective is my nuclear family.
I owe the “public health” nothing beyond not polluting public resources with proven toxic substances.
No, no. The onerous is the rest of humanity to make sure you stay safe and healthy. Geez lady, do you not know how to narcissistic?
If I was actually sick, I would be willing to stay home, both for my own sake and for “public health”. I am not sick and therefore not subject to any regulation pursuant to public health – unless our federal and state constitutions have been struck down and we are now a fundamentally authoritarian state.
There’s rumors going around that the US Army seized Dominion’s servers in Germany. Sounds a little far-fetched to me.

But of course this will all be hand-waved away.
Right! Next you’ll tell me it’s easy to get heroin and cell phones in maximum security prisons.
I stayed up late last night to finish my inputs into my employees’ annual performance reviews.
I hate this time of year. It’s tough to summarize a person’s year of accomplishments, along with addressing their potential, into an HR computer form.
I know this will be part of their record and could affect future prospects and promotions, so I put a lot of thought and writing skill into each one.
Glad it’s behind me (until time to allocate bonuses and raises, but that is fun and easy after this ranking part is done) for another year.
One worry though: one of my flock hadn’t done his self assessment by Wednesday so I called and talked to him live about the need for the self assessments to be done by Thursday.
Still nothing from him. I had planned a good score for him, have some emails from others about what a good job he’s doing, but for him to drop the ball on this has me concerned.
As a manager, I despised review time. We were supposed to evaluate our employees against goals that had been set a year earlier and abandoned within a quarter because of upper management decisions over which they had no control. Then they’re supposed to set goals for the next year knowing full well that it’s a meaningless exercise.
As a not-manager, I *hate* this shit. Worst time of the year. I finally figured out I’m never going to get more or less than “meets expectations” down the line, so that’s what I put. I’m hoping I was (re)hired late enough this year to skip the next one.
Reviews are counter-productive in tech industries that move at a fast pace. I think at one point I had about 5 bosses that were setting my department’s priorities. It was my job to juggle that craziness. My actual boss understood that and pretty much ignored my review/goal setting exercise every year since he could tell HR to stuff it. I wasn’t high enough up the foodchain to do so for my employees.
Reviews are counter-productive in tech industries that move at a fast pace.
Some companies, including a lot of tech from what I’ve read, are moving away from annual reviews to streamlined quarterly check ins. Gets accomplishments down while fresh, gives a chance to address ball drops without waiting a year, and can readjust goals closer to realtime needs. This is what I use for my team.
My annual reviews last about 5 minutes. Max.
“I got nothing you haven’t already heard. You?”
“No, we’re good.”
*clicks “review complete” on HR software*
Self assesment is what commie dictatorships ask of people.
This. The department was profitable or it was not. You got shit done or you did not.
You’re a good person. My supe is a fucking prick. I got mine last week and it was 2.5 out of 5 all the way across. I filed a complaint against him last year and he got in serious trouble for some fucked up shit he did to me. Now, he’s going bare minimum not negative to avoid retaliation charges. I’m probably the number two best in the shop, but I don’t get to see anyone else’s eval. I just know this supe has been out to get me from the minute I got there. He transferred from LAPD, which probably explains the whole mess.
Can you like get rid of him discreetly
I am Sicilian and a biker, but I’m not THAT kind of Sicilian or THAT kind of biker.
Seriously, government work is totally different. Petty rivalries and politics rule the day. There’s not even a mild attempt at objectivity. My only hope is to either transfer or promote to eventually become his boss and get me revenge that way. Something about dog/fleas or fire/burns.
Can you do an optional “my360” sort of deal where you can get feedback anonymously from peers, direct reports, manager, etc, apart from the PAR process?
That way you have a record not from your prick boss about your actual performance.
I’m considering talking to his boss. He’s a cool guy and will listen. It’s not really all that important, unless you get a negative 2.0 or less. It’s just shitty because I should be 4 ish in most categories and everyone there knows it. Imma just sign it and wait for the hiring freeze to end and get the hell out of there, I think. I do have the option to dispute it. Just don’t know if that helps or hurts. Other dept.s are reluctant to hire complainers, unless they know the details. Rather just have a medium eval than a bad jacket.
I am on the other end of this. I had to write up my self-assessment and this is a task I know I don’t like and don’t think is in my skill set (short, concise, and bragging are things I don’t do well). I spent a lot of time on it. My boss IM’d me and told me he was disappointed in my write-up, especially since I spent so much time on it. Of course, he also said no one else in my group did a good job either.
I liked it better when all we had to do was come up with a bulletized list of what we did that year.
“In her new comments addressing why she called 911 on her Lyft driver over an open window, anti-police Portland city council member @JoAnnPDX

Typical, just typical.
Everything short of hiring a driver a/o bodyguard.
The Post Millennial website seems broken.
When you define “white supremacists” as anyone who’s not a commie, your paranoia level must go way the fuck up!
These are people who are likely already mentally ill. Instead of getting the help they need and trying to live a productive life, they embrace a Satanic ideology and try to drag everyone down with them.
This is the plain consequence of making victimhood into social currency.
This. Over and over and over.
I’ve been saying this for about three decades now.
It would be laughable if you didn’t know that a lot of people just accept her raving bullshit as fact.
Yeah, normally I would say “stop now before you embarrass yourself” but those rules have gone out the window.
At this point they can turn the city to ashes and I would just shrug and say ‘Good riddance’.
Progressives tend to fetishize their various mental illnesses, but that doesn’t mean that most of them are not legitimately mentally ill.
About ten years ago I looked up a couple of dozen personal blogs of the then prominent feminists and progressives. Every single one of them proudly announced their particular mental illness, the majority being bi-polar. I did this because someone in the discussion at TOS remarked that their ravings seemed insane.
Yep. I dare you to find a sane one.
Same goes for the Antifa, BLM and super-prog college students.
I think we have gone too far destigmatizing some things. It sounds good on paper, nobody should be afraid to seek help yadda yadda, but human nature being what it is, stigma doesn’t go away it just shifts targets, and we end up with, as you describe, a bunch of paranoid deranged unmedicated, or more often overmedicated, lunatics running the asylum. And I think, much like many other psychological phenomena, many kinds of mental disorders do not arise or evolve extrinsically from a person’s actions or surroundings. People can get crazier because “the help they need” is sometimes really somebody telling them to call them fuck down or go out and do something other than spend all day inside their own heads, instead of indulging their neuroses and prescribing more pills. That people nowadays tend to seek out online “communities” of the similarly crazy and receive comfort for their problems instead of solutions for them doesn’t help, either.
call them fuck down = calm the fuck down
” That people nowadays tend to seek out online “communities” of the similarly crazy”

I think I’ve figured out something to add to Svetlana’s character. I knew her personality and backstory, and was brainstorming hobbies and passtimes because she has a lot of time on her hands. So I figured whatever she did she’s had a lot of practice, so she might be very good. I asked ‘what if she was a painter?’ This actually solves the question of the portrait of Dug hanging in the Explorer House in Kord the younger’s stories. Dug isn’t the sort of narcissist who would commission and keep a portrait of himself, but he would sit to be painted by his girlfriend if it made her happy, and would hang onto the portrait if she gave it to him. There are a couple of ways it could end up in the school, but none of them are a major stretch.
I like it! A bit more daring an accomplishment for a lady of her station than, say, music or needlework.

Fuck off slaver.
So, has anyone asked blm to pay?
I want 2020 to wrap up like a Robert Ludlum novel.
I’m rooting for the Philip K Dick hunter/killer teddy bears.

Tried posting the link in a reply to you twice but it doesn’t seem to have showed up. Just look at Michael Malice’ Twitter. It’s also in a reply to Tim Pool’s post about being taken down by YouTube.
I’m only seeing some host I never heard of before that won’t let me download. It couldn’t find it on bitchute.
Or just email me at riveruntomypeople at (evil) Google mail.

I just want to point out that I have called the presidential race for my cat. So, you know, it’s over. He is currently occupying the office of the president-elect, aka the window looking out from my home office. I know this is difficult for some to accept, that a cat will have his paw on the special button in the oval office that he will convert to delivering mice as opposed to diet coke, but it is what it is. I mean, who doesn’t vote for a cat? That he outperformed several previous candidates, 120-130 percent, in several precincts is of no concern. We need to take this chance to heal and unify as a nation under our new feline overlord.
Has your cat named a Chief of Staff?
I’ve heard good things about possible Attorney General Whiskers.
I’m sure he’d do a better job than the swamp creatures that occupy it now.
But not as good as this top-quality pussy.

I heard on a radio ad this week that OSHA is going to start doing random business visits to check for covid-19 guideline compliance in Michigan. Watch out for Gretchen’s SS Shock Troops if you have the misfortune of being employed in Michigan.
Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up.
I’m lazy. The business nearby has excavating equipment though.
Meh. Ohio has granted the authority to the department of worker’s compensation to shut down retail shops if they aren’t enforcing the masks rules.
I KNEW IT! While everyone else was worried about FEMA and black helicopters, I always suspected Secret President was operating under cover of the Department of Worker’s Compensation.
They’re doing it out of the goodness of their hearts just to protect YOU, a Worker of the World!
It’s because DeWine is made of much better clay then us poor mortals.

It’s funny the Proud Boys wear black and yellow, which are the meme colors for anarchist.
But Antifa aren’t really anarchists. They’re a mix of fascists and commies.
Yes, antifa are commies, but the Proud Boys aren’t anarchists either.

“If you can’t convince them, confuse them.”
School ‘status’ is not a measure of the value of the education, so this is an irrelevant statistic.
It is relevant to the status of the graduate in society
Looks like projection to me.
I see no study on one’s ability to understand concepts or ability to finely distinguish between concepts that are superficially similar but quite different.
What is glaringly obvious to me is that the wokesters are unable to do either. When someone starts using overly pretentious language it usually means they dont know what they are talking about. Not always, but usually.
It’s pure solipsism: “responsible actor” = whatever we are doing here in New York.

You can tell it’s Diwali because Jamaica and Forest Hills, Queens are jumpin’. Most of the heavily Sikh section of Forest Hills has roads cordoned off and busy crowds setting up for tonight’s light/fireworks shows. Delicious Indian candy is in my immediate future.
Ooo! Sounds heavenly.
I should look for Diwali events being defiantly carried out here in San Diego.
Delicious Indian candy.

Does not compute from the samples I’ve tried.
I tried to give the benefit of the doubt that the stuff the consultants bring back after trips to India is nobody’s first choice to eat.
‘Tried’ being the key word.
Mango lassi.
Unless they do something to the mango flavor it’s not going to be better than mediocre.
Pen-and-phone it in
President-elect Joe Biden won the presidency in large part because he promised to be the anti-Trump on policy, temperament, tone and just about everything else. But two men who helped run the Obama White House are urging him to follow President Trump’s example in a specific way: by unapologetically leaning on executive actions to implement key policies.
The advice from former Obama chiefs of staff Rahm Emanuel and Denis McDonough comes as Biden prepares to enter office with an agenda potentially stalled by a closely divided Congress: a much smaller House majority than expected and a 50-50 Senate, at best.
“There is — as President Trump himself has demonstrated with the consent, quite obvious consent of Republicans in Congress – an enormous amount of leeway for the president to institute executive action on things like immigration and energy and climate policy,” said McDonough, who served as chief of staff for much of Obama’s second term.
He won’t even have to leave the White House.
“Weekend at Joe’s”
We are going to get new wars that media and Democrats (I repeat myself) can ignore. How long before Doddering Joe gets a peace prize?
Most of the wars during the Obama-Biden years were done by bombers and flying death robots and funneling weapons to foreign radicals. They’ve learned that people have less patience for boots on the ground. Expect more of the former.
My sister said in frustration “I am SO done with politics!”
I said “That’s too bad. You might be done with government, but government is not done with you.”
Yep. I can be done with politics all I want, when they close down the gyms for a third time it won’t matter how much I wish to ignore politics.
I’m guessing most people would like to be left alone to their own devices. But it appears very few people would also like to extend that courtesy to others. My misanthropy grows daily.

Uh, they haven’t been chatting with the Indians in my circles. Quelle surprise.
If Trump somehow manages to win this the tears over the last loss will look like a light sprinkle compared to a zero visibility hurricane.
My dad has an Indian customer that is full MAGA. And he is an immigrant. Can’t imagine the new arrivals supporting leftists/Democrats.
That’s weird, because a FB “friend” just called me racist for saying she is Indian, not black. (The black guy I was replying to said “I agree with Lucas, it’s a different culture even though they also have dark skin”).
You could say she is an Aryan, maybe she’d feel better about that.
Black is by far the predominant identity in Jamaica, and the vast majority of the population have some degree of African descent. So she’s really both (and possibly others besides, like Amerindian).
Scroll up to my link to the Jason Whitlock interview and send your friend a link to that. It will be amusing to see how they respond.
*my guess: they refuse to watch
Thanks Suth, enjoyed that video. It was spot frigging on.

Showing you his true colors.
No it is not. Chamelons dont chamge color that fast and it is not really to blend in
…and they dont have that wide of a range of colors…two or three is about it. Consider their environment. Why would they evolve the ability to be purple or chartreuse? Various shades of green and brown are all the local ones can manage. That is all they need.
Apparently not.

So my last job of the week yesterday as I decided not to work today was a goth hippie guy in his 50’s with a beat up old Honda outside with faded Free Leonard Peltier, Amnesty International and Dennis Kucinich for Congress and the like plastered all over the back. He answered the door without a mask, the first customer I’ve had in weeks to do so and gave me a hearty handshake since he remembered me from the last time his landlord had me do work at the property. We ended up having a great conversation about the total bullshit of the COVID hysteria. By the end he was confiding to me in a low voice that he had cast his first vote for a Repub in his life last week for the Trumpster. He works at a “metaphysical store” whatever that is, and told me that he had done a few tarot card readings and Trump is definitely going to win. So take it from Midwestern transplant goth hippie dude that Trump is a lock. It struck me that I am now in the small minority of people here, including this guy and the homeless guy that lives down the street in his van that haven’t bought into the virus panic. At least I have my wife on my side as well. I feared that we would only be getting an increase in the government authoritarianism and it looks like that is happening.
I like signs of sanity, especially in the strangest places.
Yeah, it put a smile on my face at the end of a hard week.
Tyler Cowen writes at Marginal Revolution: “What will the transitional vaccine path look like?”
Lemme help you with that, Ty, baby.
It’ll continue to look like it’s looked like so far: an excellent, opportune excuse for modern Western democracies to continue down their totalizing path whilst solving the problem of how to become ever-more-authoritarian even as they continue to maintain the fiction of freedom by wrapping themselves in the paper-thin veneer of democracy. I can hardly wait for them to discover the next “bad” flu season.
Same old shit, different disease.
The blessing of God’s great light reveals much, come the Morn… Found a piece of 1×4 stuck in the impellor. Used a giant screwdriver and a hammer to dislodge it. Runs fine now. If only I had those dark, stupid, stolen hours back I’d live for an extra day.
