What, you didn’t know that “Sexy Colonel Sanders” is a thing?
A friend of mine told me that a customer had given him one of these, but he didn’t know what it was, either. At least he recognized it as food, but when he bit into it, he just got a noseful of powder–and not the fun kind. Consider this a PSA in case you encounter one this season.
Even more drama for the soap opera-esque “A Recipe for Seduction.” Say what you will, but I think the whole thing is hilarious.

When bars existed, I would often put Tears in Heaven on the end of the jukebox queue, and leave before it would come up. Drunk me got a kick out of imagining how that went over in the relevant bars.
The Alabama Wine story. Police are racist, defund the police, and yet the AP will still print whatever the police department says without further scrutiny whenever possible.
The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement it received an anonymous tip about an alcohol operation at a municipal building in the town of Rainsville on Thursday. Investigators then uncovered what’s described as a large illegal winery inside the Rainsville Waste Water Treatment Plant.
You know what they say: you put a teaspoon of wine in a barrel of sewage, you have sewage.
You put a teaspoon of sewage in a barrel of wine, you have sewage.
I never heard anyone say either of those things.
Really? I use a variation on that from time to time. Such as, for example, with voting fraud.
It’s called Schopenhauer’s Law of Entropy.

The New York Police Department used excessive force during the wave of protests across the city this summer against police brutality and racism, according to a report published on Friday morning by New York City’s Department of Investigation.
Define “excessive force.” Are we talking full Bull Connor fire hoses and dogs to peaceful protesters dressed in their Sunday best, or cops stuffing and cuffing some shithead who spat on them? A link to the original report would be nice.

“The Elderly vs. Essential Workers: Who Should Get the Coronavirus Vaccine First?
Historically, the committee relied on scientific evidence to inform its decisions. But now the members are weighing social justice concerns as well, noted Lisa A. Prosser, a professor of health policy and decision sciences at the University of Michigan.
“To me the issue of ethics is very significant, very important for this country,” Dr. Peter Szilagyi, a committee member and a pediatrics professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, said at the time, “and clearly favors the essential worker group because of the high proportion of minority, low-income and low-education workers among essential workers.”
Harald Schmidt, an expert in ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania, said that it is reasonable to put essential workers ahead of older adults, given their risks, and that they are disproportionately minorities. “Older populations are whiter, ” Dr. Schmidt said. “Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.””
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/05/health/covid-vaccine-first.html
Let them keep arguing, and by they time they come to a decision there will be enough for everyone who wants it.
Is there an ethicist left on the planet who is actually ethical? At least there are still some capitalists left among the economists, dwindling though their numbers are.
Wow.
Sorry, grandma.
We have strike teams to innoculate the elderly.
‘…we can start to level the playing field a bit.’
I too, prefer to push malthusian death-cultism by way of racism disguised as social justice.
Yet another sign that the whole Covid panic was never about saving lives, and always about keeping the population frightened and obedient.
Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.
I see no way this reasoning could possibly lead to negative results.
I volunteer someone else to have mine.

Hey……wanted to reply to Justin Amash’s plan to abolish the Jones Act (https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/1340033107773288449) with some of my old articles here – but…there are no articles under my name in Contributing Writers (not the Jones Act pieces and not other stuff like my Roller Derby article) and I can’t find anything under “search” or the tags I thought they were listed with – “regulations”, etc.
There were 6 total in (IIRC), Feb-April 2017. Any easy way for me to dig up the old links?
Thanks.
Huh, you are there, but it shows no posts, maybe Email SP, she will know,
Lovely timing. Trump may have signed it if it gets through. Biden certainly won’t.
SP said something recently about archiving older content, but everything was supposed to stay available. I just checked my articles under the Contributing Writers link and my articles before Jan, 2019 are no longer there.
I’ll check with her later.
Thanks. Just emailed the Website address at the bottom of the page, but not sure where that goes.
…they go….somewhere.
*shifty glance*
I replied by email with this basic info: As previously discussed, I have been moving the content to a yearly archive. I’ll have 2017 and 2018 done this weekend. These are separate archive sites to save on database size and bandwidth. Hopefully, it will increase the speed and reliability of the main (current year) site. When I did a poll of how people use the site, it became clear that most people never look back at past articles, so this was the best way to both preserve the content and upgrade the main site. The database running the main site was large by WordPress standards and was struggling.
The archive sites have all the posts and comments. Any images within the posts are included, but I have not moved featured images over.
Both 2017 and 2018 will be available this weekend after I finish them up and link over from here.
Maybe you could get rid of the comments too.
That what will Preet do after his new cabinet post?

Two of my golfing buddies have had or do have Covid.
One is about 70. He spent 15 days in ICU, 5 of them on a ventilator. He is out of ICU now and on the road to recovery.
The other is about 45. He spent three days bedridden, but is mostly recovered now. Except he can’t smell or taste anything.
I hope they get better soon, but I’d avoid golfing with them for awhile.
It’s Iowa. It’s December. No golf until next spring.

Hope they feel better.
I have a coworker in his 40s with the same complaint after COVID – still messed up sense of taste and smell.
You really wouldn’t guess how awful it is to have your sense of smell and taste go wonky until it happens.
My first pregnancy, my sense of smell went all sideways and it didn’t go back to normal until about 5 years later. I also occasionally have phantosmia, phantom smells, in which I can’t get the smell of cigarette smoke out of my nose. But it’s not in my nose. It’s in my head. The only thing that makes it go away is for me to smell real cigarette smoke and finding that is difficult nowadays. To be fair, I haven’t had it since my cigarette-smoking bestie lived with us for a few months a couple of years ago.
I’m on my 6th day of not having a sense of smell or taste. It’s weird A/F. I had a cold-ish thing for two days over last weekend. Waiting for my test results from my RNA test.
There was a pinup artist in the 60’s who always painted women with their underwear falling down. That middle KFC painting looks like his work.
The only one I can think of is Alberto Vargas, but that’s probably because he did the cover art for Candy-O. Also, I don’t think he did the Coppertone ad thing.
It was Earl Frahm.

As wasteful as the defense department spending can be, it doesn’t hold a candle to the social spending. We could entirely eliminate the defense department (the good and the bad, the necessary and unnecessary alike) and it wouldn’t even eliminate the deficit, let alone put us on the road to fiscal sanity. The problem is not on the bombs side of things, it’s on the bread and circuses side of things.

The winery looks like a small operation. Why would anyone do that? Just make it at home and stay under 100 gallons per adult, per year. I dont see the point of an illegal winery. You can buy wine cheaper than you can make it anyway.

“Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has admitted she has known for more than a year about a botched police raid where cops handcuffed an innocent black woman while she was naked in her own home – just days after claiming she had only learned of the incident this week.
Lightfoot claimed on Tuesday that she had only learned this week about the February 2019 raid on the home of 50-year-old Anjanette Young, the same day shocking bodycam footage of the incident was made public.
Officers raided Young’s home around 7 p.m. on February 21 2019 after she had just arrived home from her shift at the hospital and was getting undressed in her bedroom.
The cops were acting on a tip-off from an informant and had the wrong address.
Young was forced to stand naked and handcuffed in her apartment as officers swarmed around the property – ignoring her pleas that they had the wrong address.”

Australia has largely banished the virus despite a second wave in Victoria that claimed more than 800 lives.

Countries hit harder than the US: Belgium, Peru, Italy, Slovenia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Spain, UK, and Montenegro.

Fortunately, through individual and collective action, the US has the means not only to arrest these dynamics but also to transform them into a virtuous cycle. This will require a set of sustained efforts rather than simple repetition of one-off measures.
Notwithstanding the restrictions that one state after another is putting in place, the current wave of Covid-19 hospital admissions and deaths in the US is unlikely to subside in a lasting fashion. Yet, rather than regarding these measures as necessary but insufficient, too many Americans will instead be inclined to conclude – incorrectly – that restrictions are ineffective except in their very narrow role as temporary circuit breakers.
Top
Men.
They don’t work even as temporary circuit breakers.
Now we just need a scene where some drone is putting a box labelled “Chloroquine & Ivermectin” away in some hidden corner of a warehouse.
necessary but insufficient
What, praytell, would be “sufficient”? No amount of transfer payments is going to put food on people’s tables, energy in their homes for heating and lighting, or of course keep all that work-from-home infrastructure humming along, if nobody is supposed to leave their home to work. And let’s not set aside the psychological effect, even if we do exempt “essential” employees and make them go to work, of creating such a stark divide. Forget haves and have-nots, how about the essentials and the non-essentials?

This triple worry – public health, the economy, and economic policies – in turn fuels problematic household behaviour. The US government’s inability to control yet another Covid-19 wave is certain to erode public trust further and undermine the adoption of guidance on healthy behaviour. Increased restrictions inevitably add to the short-term economic pressures on many households and are likely to dampen consumer sentiment, robbing the economy of an important driver of growth. Delays in fiscal transfers compound the risks to US consumption and investment at a time when the global economy is in no position to take up the slack.
People who have lost their jobs, or fear they might, don’t spend like drunken sailors? What a conundrum.

Like a cigarette dropped into gasoline
If death don’t bring me, I swear you’ll fear these marching feet
Come to the nightmare come with me
Through the maw and jaws with the razor teeth
Where the brimstone burns and the angel weeps
Corpses strewn across your path, my silhouette hangs like a body bag
Hope is moment now long past
The shadow of DEATH is the one I cast
It’s not The Raven, but I like that poem anyway. Yokeltarian gonna yokel.
There’s a great book called Achilles in Vietnam that flips back and forth from the Iliad to Vietnam vet stories. Achilles starts out as an obedient, merciful warrior until he loses faith in his higher ups. Then his close friends all die and he just stops giving a shit about anything. Turns out a lot of Vietnam vets went through something similar.
Awesome poetry, the author DGAF, we need Men who will do the dirty things, they keep us safe,
I like this one, also from South Park.
Heraclitus didn’t fight in any modern wars. For every Audie Murphy, there were ten other guys just as brave, just as trained, and just as proficient in warfare who were blown to bits by modern bullets, flak, bombs or shells that don’t discriminate between Sgt. Rock and Gomer Pyle.
While that is true, it should also be noted that in ancient wars a bunch of people who were just as brave and just as trained were taken out by dysentery, disease, inclement weather, and starvation, things that rarely affect modern armies significantly. War has always had casualties due to bad luck that doesn’t discriminate between Sgt. Rock and Gomer Pyle.
ancient wars
depending on the combatants, still true from time to time

Amazon review for my Office chair, for real,
“I’m still waiting for the Hooker I ordered, Whoredash can be so tedious sometimes, but this chair is Bouncy Bouncy!
Perfect for some hot Red headed action, it has a ventilated back, nice for those extended sessions, and is easily cleanable for all those “messes” that occur, would recommend”

Looks like the review has been nuked. Ah well. My buddy would have got a kick out of that one.
I am officially on vacation.
Me too!

“BREAKING: Vice President Mike Pence announces that uniformed members of the U.S. Space Force will be called Guardians. Threre you have it: Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Guardians”
https://twitter.com/MarcusReports/status/1340053936569540610
That means we have been visited by aliens, why have Guardians without a Galaxy to play in?
I . . . actually kinda like this.

“However, to some Black disability rights activists, like Anita Cameron, Helen Keller is not radical at all, “just another, despite disabilities, privileged white person,” and yet another example of history telling the story of privileged white Americans.”
https://time.com/5918660/helen-keller-disability-history/
When Hellen Keller is considered privileged you’ve completely jumped the shark.
Jesus, the hatred knows no bounds. And nevermind HK was a devoted Socialist, unperson the pale bitch.
““just another, despite disabilities, privileged white person,”
She should’ve just become a ward of the state, like any true hero.
“The useful idiots of TikTok
American teens are denying the existence of Uighur labor camps from their bedrooms
Tyrants have always had useful idiots to whitewash their crimes but few have proven as useful and idiotic as those who support China in their oppression of the Uighurs.
The northwestern region of Xinjiang is where China’s Muslim minority is persecuted, and according to Human Rights Watch, this means mass arbitrary detention, torture, forced political indoctrination and surveillance using the collection of biometric data. Religious freedoms are severely curtailed under the guise of counter-terrorism measures, the charity says, with restrictions on facial hair, clothing, religious education and online speech. A bleak investigation this week by the BBC found evidence that China is forcing hundreds of thousands of Uighurs to pick cotton for the fashion industry.
A consensus is forming, but there is also a counter-narrative spun by Sinophilic sycophants sharing their own anti-Uighur propaganda online.”

The CCP today is as evil as Hitler or Stalin, and just like those two the CCP has plenty of supporters who will later deny they ever had anything to do with the evil regime.
Except there was only ever a need for supporters to distance themselves from one of those two monsters of history, because, for some inexplicable* reason, the ideology underlying one of them was not disfavored.
*–not inexplicable at all when one considers that the ideology in question managed to infiltrate the necessary institutions, and directed everyone’s attention nearly exclusively to the heinous acts of the other one’s adherents.
So you are saying that it is high time for Xi to be Time’s Person of the Year.
And these will be the same people who cheer on the persecution of the deplorables.
Yes, they will.

In the US 3500 people died from COVID-19 in one day and nothing changed. But in Australia, 28 new cases has suburbs locked down.
Clearly the Aussies get it right. We are not tyrannizing hard enough.
That said I do have questions. Deaths from what? As I understand overall deaths are near normal. Does not that seem a bit curious if we are in some horrific pandemic? I’ll remind everyone that some health bureaucrat bimbo literally said on camera, from behind a podium that all death “with” convid are being counted as deaths “of” convid. That means that the death number is complete and total horseshit. Likewise the case number is a result of people testing “positive” and being counted as a case regardless of whether or not they have symptoms. And I recently read that the pcr test inventor said, in no uncertain terms, that the test should NOT be used to diagnose any particular virus because it is a system that makes something more out of something less and does not tell you if you are sick. I am done with this convid scamdemic and I am not participating in convid theater (not that I ever really was…). I am the 4%.

The first iteration of the 2017 archive is available now: 2017
This will be linked in the main navigation here.
Additionally, I will be linking from the Contributing Writers here (with a count of their articles in each archive year) to their Contributing Writers page on the archive sites. That will take a while to get to, though.
While all posts and comments have been preserved, I have not moved featured images, nor avatars. If you see a Glib with an avatar on the archive sites, it’s because they use Gravatar with their registered Glib email.
This has been a time-consuming project and you can expect some rough spots to crop up in the implementation. I’m doing this in my “free time.”
Thanks for your patience.
can’t imagine
I can imagine Glibs ponying up substantial bucks to make things easier; I don’t know what the alternatives would cost, but I know I’m interested in helping
#metoo
Bless you and your work here, and OM and Wonderdog of Course!
Appreciate all the work!
Thank YOU for your patience with US! : )
What these guys said. I owe you and the Old Man a few bucks anyway for your kindness a few months ago. I’ll send money soon.
Gifts don’t require anything except acceptance. And not even that, really.
Thank you SP for all the work you do!
A co-worker of mine, apparently a True Believer based on her anxious answers to the obligatory health questions I rattle off every day when I take everyone’s temp, gave me a little Christmas gift bag today. In it were two candy canes and what must be the cheapest possible fabric face mask – two pieces of knit fabric (in a garish print) stitched together down the middle with two holes cut for your ears. Made in China, so it’s probably impregnated with the virus. ***SIGH***
Think she’ll be offended if I stick to my reused-until-it’s-grimy disposable?
I’d be offended with a gift like that, but wouldn’t say anything,
Tell her you’re saving it for a special occasion.
Like the summer solstice bonfire.
True Believer
Mom might not be speaking to me much this year. I keep tearing apart her MaskMafia tropes, the simple ideas she clings to because TeamResist needs her to believe she’s on the right side and the other folks are monsters.
Well, some of that might be true, but there’s just no data to support half the things she’s mad at me for not believing. Even your precious CDC site acknowledges this or that is a model with no empirical confirmation, this and that are just anecdotal, such and and such “suggests” that there’s a 70% effectivity (per person? per year or per second?) of whatever.
it’s exhausting
You should have blown your nose with and said: “What? Is this not a handkerchief?”
You might want to knock back a few extra adult beverages tonite. I got an e-mail from the Georgia G.O.P. that admits Sen. Loeffler is down 7 points to the racist commie “reverend.” Usually the fund raisers are about “we’re neck and neck and need your check” but this one sounded a bit pessimistic. Any Georgia glibs with boots on the ground observations?

Having a hard time understanding this. Can someone who groks the average Georgia voter explain this to me, in small words that a got-DAMN furriner can understand?
The average Georgia Republican and Republican leaner is pissed at the way the the Senatorial candidates and the state level Republicans failed to back Trump and they aren’t going to show up to vote, that’s what it comes down to. Counterproductive? Maybe, but who wants to vote for someone you perceive as abandoning your guy?

Cheating. Lots and lots of cheating. And a pair of good ole boys in an orange Dodge Charger with a Confederate battle flag on the roof, Dixie horn and affectionately styled “General Lee” are not going to save you.
Yeah, cheating too, hopefully they feel like they’re under a microscope and they don’t have the nerve to do it.
The best (?) would be if they did cheat and got caught in a way that was very public and incontrovertible.
Won’t happen, the officials in the questionable areas are about as likely to spot cheating as a referee at a pro wrestling match.
A little fraud, a little of what Stinky said, and a little of being fired up by Biden’s win.
Could be true, could be fearmongering. RCP shows the +7 Warnock as an extreme outlier, but of course the polls weren’t exactly very accurate this year, again, so no telling. I will say that the TX GOP sent a rather pessimistic get out the vote text shortly before the 2020 elections, and the GOP did rather well in TX in the final results, so they may be playing into the politics of fear to motivate their base.
My State Senator never fails to stoke controversy. Of course, I find it entertaining. And Tim Pool has gone through some interesting education and philosophical evolution.

I stopped off for a couple of beers, in town. Things are pretty relaxed, in that particular establishment.
Some chick (I think it was a chick, anyway) comes in to pick up her to go food. Not only does she have the full face covering mask, from just below her eyes to her throat, she has fucking disposable exam gloves on. Take that, cooties. She turned around to look at (maskless) me, like I was some sort of scary bad guy in a spaghetti western.
\I fucking hate people.
it’s perfect: everyone doing their own thing
It’s wonderful that it’s all voluntary. If you want to wear a mask, wear one, if you don’t then no problem. If you want to close your business close it, if not, keep it open. The freedom on display is amazing.
that’s fair
it’s not his point; but it’s fair
I’m making the wider point that stupid and wasteful behaviors happen all the time. My vote is that a libertarian doesn’t give a shit.
Granted, but cowardice shpuld be a source of shame.l, not pride. From a legal perspective I totally agree. However, letting Karen run the table on culture is not good for anyone.
