Well, not much relaxing for me- I’ve been on a deadline this weekend for a paid article and everything is conspiring against me, including all the equipment I use to generate data so I actually have something to write about. And I had to interrupt it all to get a VID check. The bright spot has been a slew of decent food and drink.
And birthdays, too, including a guy who always reminds me of garbanzos; an insanely overrated writer, whose output had the profundity of Harry Potter; one of the funniest ladies in cinema; Pia Zadora long before there was a Pia Zadora; a guy who was in the best baseball movie ever; a crypto-Jew at the keyboard; the architect of “Football of the Future”; the Fifth Beatle and most creative studio mind of the 20th century; a guy whose word was law; a guy who is just as entertaining off the screen as on it; and a girl who stands to collect $10,000 from me.
Now the news, which seems like the olds.
What are the newschimps going to do for entertainment after January 24th?

“Thanks to the leadership of Chairman McGovern and our members, Democrats have crafted a package of unprecedented, bold reforms, which will make the House more accountable, transparent and effective in our work to meet the needs of the American people,” Pelosi said in the statement.
Among the changes, the new rules would revoke floor privileges from former House representatives “convicted of crimes related to their House service or election,” and make it a violation of the ethics code to disclose a whistleblower’s identity.
Let the Smiting of the Enemies commence!
What about revoking floor privileges for ALL former congresscritters. Why is that even a thing?
transparent and effective in our work to meet the needs of the American people
Needs, like giving tens of millions of funny-money to the Kennedy Center and billions to pork projects overseas.

Though whistleblower laws are supposed to provide protection, Republicans found a loophole by citing media reports about the person’s identity.

Solid links OMWC! I never understood why anyone watched Larry King. Maybe an age thing?
I’m old and I could never take more than 30 seconds of him.
The Trump interview was a classic, though.
I’m definitely in the “old” rank here and I can’t remember ever finding anything interesting about Larry King. Just another one of the talking heads on the tube I tended to avoid.
30 years ago I heard people talking about Larry King. I didn’t listen to them or Larry and saved the time to be here with the Glibs. Good decision. Thanks, OMWC.
I’m 62, and I’ve never watched Larry King. But then, I’ve never watched any of the talking heads of previous generations of TV talk/interview shows either, except “incidentally” (i.e., I was in the room doing something else when Mom was watching, say, Merv Griffin…).
IT’S NEVER ALIENS
I found the proggy!
Serious for a moment: it’s never aliens, until it’s aliens, at which point you are mistaken, because it is never aliens. Avi Loeb is a crackpot, Oumuamua is a weird rock, the radio singles are a natural stellar phenomenon, the Guardian is the epitome of jOuRnaLisM, Nick Pope and all the other flim flam frauds are pathological liars.
If there is any real suggestion of aLiEnS!11 then I suggest the Guardians build the fucking SPACE WALL right now.
Are the album cuts a natural stellar phenomenon too?
?????
Yes, but the dance mixes are DEFINITELY alien!
I wonder, if it were actual aliens. Would they tell us? Would we believe ‘them?’ Would it actually matter at this point? Will they charge extra for anal probing?
Look at Debbie Downer over here
I want to believe.
My QAnon believing husband probably believes in alien contact hard enough for all of us.

Restaurant at the End of The Universe.
I’m not sure what the “end” of a galaxy would mean. At this stage in the cosmos it’s not really a thing. Galaxies interact, central blackholes merging, but there’s still a galaxy in the end. Also ‘collisions’ that don’t result in nuclear mergers, just big stellar mixups. If one nucleus was flung from the interaction stripped of most of its stars…a sort of rogue supermassive black hole, would that count as a dead galaxy?

The rule changes also make permanent the Office of Diversity and Inclusion to facilitate a diverse workforce reflective of the district’s population. They would also establish a Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth. This will also include standing committees in oversight plans to address ongoing inequities bases on race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age or national origin. It also includes recognizing all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender neutral.

a guy who was in the best baseball movie ever
I always thought you considered The Natural the best baseball movie ever.
You’re lucky SP isn’t up yet.
The Natural was not a good movie. But I felt it was an absolutely beautiful one. The baseball was shot exceptionally well.
The Natural is one of the worst movies ever. The novel was brilliant, easily the best novel about baseball ever written, and had the message, “You can never redeem yourself.”
The movie’s message was, “You can always redeem yourself.”
Shit. I’m going back to bed.
Try Death on the Diamond, with juvenile Mickey Rooney.
That was the singular “you”, not the plural “you”. I didn’t say SP liked The Natural.
Accusing ME of liking it is fightin’ words. And when there’s a fight, I send in my wife.
Old people….
“Major League” & “A League of their own” are far superior. Robert Redford is overrated.
Glen or Glenda is far superior, for that matter.
Today I learned:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_or_Glenda
Legacy
In 1980, Wood was posthumously given the accolade of ‘Worst Director of All Time’ at the Golden Turkey Awards, and revival of interest in his work followed. This led to Glen or Glenda being reissued in 1982. This cut included six minutes of additional footage. One of the restored scenes features Glen rejecting a pass made to him by a man. At this point, the film was reviewed seriously, and reclaimed as a radical work, by Steve Jenkins in the Monthly Film Bulletin.
The critic Leonard Maltin names Glen or Glenda as “possibly the worst movie ever made”.
In 1994, Tim Burton chronicled the troubled production of Glen or Glenda in Ed Wood. The film includes re-creations of several key scenes, including Lugosi’s narration and Glen’s plea for his girlfriend’s understanding at the end of the film. A remake of the film, entitled Glen & Glenda, was released the same year as Ed Wood and featured much the same script as the original film, as well as explicit scenes.
In 2006, the distributed operating system Plan 9 from Bell Labs had a mascot, Glenda, the Plan 9 Bunny, named after Glen or Glenda and Plan 9 from Outer Space.
In 2011, the film Jack and Jill was nominated for every award at the 32nd Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Prequel, Remake, Ripoff or Sequel, where it was declared a Remake/Ripoff of Glen or Glenda, despite having nothing to do with the film, other than the lead actor dressed as a woman.
My favorite part of Major League is when they are about to run out of the tunnel onto the field. The players walk right past the County Stadium jail where I spent the better part of 7 innings on the Brewers Opening Day earlier in the year before the filming of the movie.
Bull Durham is my favorite.
We still yell “Hit the bull!” at struggling pitchers during our local minor league games. Which we didn’t have in 2020. ***SNIFF!!!***
You guys are all retarded and your shit’s all fucked up. The best baseball movie ever made is The Bad News Bears.
CUMMING, Ga. — Outgoing President Donald Trump is throwing one grenade after another into the high-stakes Georgia Senate runoffs in the final days before the Tuesday election.
It’s a hot, sticky mess.
Trump again cast doubt on the legitimacy of the state’s election system.
Because it is/was totally fucked and fraudulent.
I’m sure someone will be along shortly to disprove your assertion about Fulton, and DeKalb counties by talking only about Cobb.
You have no shoes on your hands, therefore you are not wearing shoes.
Is he ‘outgoing’ though?
?
I won’t be saying one way or another until after the 6th.
But Google has assured me that the electoral college has certified the vote for Beijing Biden. One would think that a company pushing information from “authoritative sources” would understand a promote the actual technicalities of US presidential elections wherein the federal congress is the entity that actually certifies the electoral college ballots and, therefor, the presidential election. And that has not happened yet.
He must be at least a bit of an extrovert to be so good at cutting deals.
The cut of your jib, I LIKE IT!
Ah, you left out the best part – Trump then encouraged all of his supporters to vote anyway!
What’s the alternative? A call to arms?
Of course it is, and internet tuff gai’s will be all over that.
Seriously – if you are going to assail the legitimacy of elections, what is the alternative?
As to the bullshit about which counties in GA are most questionable… [from wiki]
Chew on that – Clinton won the county when Obama didn’t, and Biden did even better. You’re going to tell me you don’t question the legitimacy of that, that there was no cheating? Just an honest result that you don’t like?
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
That wiki article also says: From 1964 until 2012, the county was a Republican stronghold in presidential elections. The only time during this period that the county supported a Democrat was in 1976, when Jimmy Carter swept every county in Georgia.
By your logic, Carter’s election also suggests cheating.
But Carter was a home-boy, so there’s an easy explanation for that atypical result. Occam’s Razor FTW.
Hill-dawg and Uncle Joe both ran against the most polarizing candidate in living memory, while Obama did not. Occam tells me that those results can be explained by Team Red voters who couldn’t stomach Trump, rather than a a generations-long secret voter-fraud campaign run by Cobb County Dems.

“Nothing to see here, folks, move along”
This idiot really needs to learn what words mean and how the US government is designed to function.
Every Senator and Congressperson who votes to overturn the election will be committing an act of Sedition and Treason. Their names will be recorded for history.
Constitutional mechanisms are not “sedition and treason”, you cunte.
Likewise for attempting to ensure that the democratic process was legitimate.
Now suggest that the people who spent four years trying to impeach and remove Trump were engaging in sedition and/or treason.
And the people lapping up that sewage are drooling at the prospect they will jail their political opponents.
J. Adams is sad he didn’t have a twitter brigade.
And the Democrats who voted to overturn the presidential elections of 2000, 2004, and 2016 were brave patriots who spoke truth to power.
The Democrats did not rewrite the election laws under cover of darkness. Where were the Republicans 18 months ago, when they might actually have been able to exert some sort of positive influence on election security?
Nevada’s were sitting at home all too happy with the Democratic led legislature driving such a profound measure under the guise of the emergency orders and a legislative agenda driven by the governor.
Who needs a republican form of government anyway
Republican politicians exploit these same laws themselves in the areas where they control the election apparatus. These laws don’t protect generally Democrats, they protect incumbents. The Democratic advantage in national elections comes from their control of all the high population density areas. So they can manufacture a metric shit ton of votes in places like Philadelphia, Atlanta and Detroit.
But McConnell can manufacture a metric shit ton of votes in rural Kentucky and Cruz can manufacture them in favorable parts of Texas, etc.
Democrats don’t want Democrats to win and Republicans don’t want Republicans to win. What they want is for _themselves_ to win. And the moment they let their guard down, someone like AOC comes along and steals their elected office from them.
Or a State Supreme Court as happened in Pennsylvania.
In the case of PA it was the State Supreme Court that re-wrote the rules – you know, who needs legislation when litigation will do? And the US SC refused to benchslap them for doing that.
Now THERE is the problem.
Weren’t the rules re-wrote by the legislature in 2019, Act 77 or something, as I recall those were the rules that were challenged as unconstitutional after the election.
The litigation (to loosen the rules on absentee ballots) preceded the election and was granted by the PA SC, and SCotUS refused to correct them. PA SC broke the legislative compromise in favor of the Democratic litigants. You want to talk about illegitimacy – there’s the whole thing right there.
Talk about getting drunk on the Kool Aid. The people can be united, by rolling over the opposition!
They’re correct – progressives and Trump voters do have a lot in common – both carbon-based forms of life, for starters.
The “uniting” part – not so much, unless they mean the “at gunpoint” kind.
“and Biden can unite them”
They’re delusional…
Well to them silence is consent in the political arena so if we can silence all the Trump voters we get Unity!
It’s like they dusted off a bunch of articles from January 2009 and did a find/replace from Obama to Biden.
Vlad the Impaler ended poverty in his kingdom too.
We must deal with the root causes
Wheeler called for stricter actions to crack down on preventing future damages and criminal behavior. “Lawlessness and anarchy come at great expense and with great risk to the future of our community. It’s time to push back harder against those who are set on destroying our community and to take more risks in fighting lawlessness,” he said.
During protests over the summer, Wheeler was critical of President Donald Trump’s decision to send federal troops to Portland. In an August letter to Trump that he tweeted, Wheeler said the president’s action “made the situation far worse.”
Capitalist oppression, fomented by a Republican administration, drove those fundamentally good boys and girls to lash out. We need to harness and direct their energies into legitimate community organizing and advocacy for socialism.

Or a Mr. Burns scheme.
These laws don’t protect generally Democrats, they protect incumbents. The Democratic advantage in national elections comes from their control of all the high population density areas. So they can manufacture a metric shit ton of votes in places like Philadelphia, Atlanta and Detroit.
Unquestionably true, but eliminating voter ID laws (while”registering” anyone and everyone), and instituting completely unverifiable mail in ballots is heavily weighted in favor of Democrats.
If 99% of mail in ballots had been for Trump, the shrieking would have been deafening.
I’m still thinking it’s easier to manufacture large numbers of votes in a single county with millions of people than in in dozens of counties with, collectively, millions of people.
Of course it is. A lot of those high population areas have elections that are so chaotic and disorganized that it’s easy the pad the votes.
It starts with machine politics and goes from there. Get plugged in with all the institutions that house a large number of low-probability voters. Nursing homes, homeless shelters, colleges, housing projects, etc. Canvas the areas to make sure everybody is registered (whether or not theyre aware of it). Catalog every single registration. Harvest those votes where legal (and sometimes where not). Take copious notes. Harass everybody to make sure you know whether they vote or don’t vote. Take note of the non-voters. Cast votes for them.
I’m thinking more the back-end, vote counting level fraud. Although the line gets blurry.
And yet the Philadelphia vote in the last THREE presidential elections is quite consistent. So if there was massive voter fraud in ’20, there must have been in ’16 and ’12 as well; yet no complaints about those previous elections?
I distinctly remember complaints in 2012 and 2016 about Philly. It was one of those “if you want to catch fraud, that’s the first place to look” kind of things. Of course, in ’12 and ’16, it didn’t potentially swing the election, institutional trust was in a very different place, and the conservative media didn’t yet have the ability to craft and carry its own agenda.
I’ve been convinced for a decade that the democrats in major metropolitan areas have been committing fraud as a matter of course. Just like I’ve been convinced for 15 years that TMITE. I’ll give the Trumpalos credit for eventually stumbling on the truth. I’ll also point and laugh because of how ineffectual they are at infiltrating the fraud and effectively exposing it.
It didn’t swing the election in ’20 either. Trump performed better there in ’20 than in ’16. Biden’s win came from how he performed in the suburbs and elsewhere.
In an election that swung on less than 100k votes, I dont know how you can say that with any level of confidence . We don’t know the baseline level of fraud in Philly, and we don’t know how far it extends into the suburbs. The mail-in aspect adds a whole new level of complexity, as it makes it much easier to amplify the impact of a fraud machine.
Not saying that the election did swing on the fraud of Philly, but looking at the county by county breakdown, I cant wholly discount it playing a part.
To me, the two big lessons are that mail-in needs to go away and that elections need to be transparent and auditable. The current system is a fucking mess, is ripe for fraud, and is impossible to disambiguate when weird stuff starts happening.
Because the suburbs and even rural areas produced the margin of victory (when the Philly results were NOT anomolous).
Assuming Philly was clean in 12 and 16 is, well, charitable.
I’m okay with making the assumption that Philly is filthy – that still doesn’t turn out a Biden victory.
Watched the Wonder Woman flick last night. What a hot mess.

From Juris Imprudent’s link:
First, the pandemic: Biden must immediately nullify the false Trumpian choice of denying science and ignoring the COVID-19 pandemic vs. opening up the economy and putting people back to work. Biden can show us the third way. He can prove that we can both follow the science (e.g., masking, social-distancing and massively distributing vaccines) while still reopening our economy and our schools safely, step by step.
That’s as far as I got. What a monstrous steaming pile of bullshit.
Biden can show us the third way.
Biden can’t show us around his living room, let alone lead the nation out of the COVID-19 disaster.
Besides, Tony Blair wants his Third Way back.
There’s no fucking third way. We either open everything up or we are right fucked (if we aren’t already).
Small business owners get this. Interesting to me how many people refuse to see it.
There is a segment of the population that does get it, but they like “working from home”, getting Amazon and Costco deliveries to their houses, and collecting stimulus checks.
The longer they are kept docile with bread and digital circuses, the longer the statists have to drive independent businesses out of existence. It’s a lot easier for the government to control a few behemoth companies than to control many thousands of independent ones.
I wonder if they do get it, though. For a lot of people in my life, they appear to think of this as some big adventure. They know nothing about the unseen and the danger of plucking parts of the economy out and expecting continued availability of their Amazon and Costco stuff.
When I think of the middle class wealth that has been stolen over the last ten months, I get a tad angry.

I like working from home. I hated these lockdowns from day one.

None of this is up to the pres— oh fuck I give up.
I get extremely suspicious whenever a politician uses the word “unprecedented”, as if that is some sort of feature or endorsement in itself.
Unprecedented now just means “stuff we would like to have done earlier but only now feel emboldened enough to do so.”
Either that, or it means “it’s something our opponent does that we want to deep six”

I read and bookmarked that. He’s right about the politics and the desperate need politicians have to get out of the hole they’ve dug while still somehow keeping face.
I have been saying this for months, at least since March. The whole covid thing has been political.
Like College Girls Gone Wild, that unfortunately very, very few have witnessed.
Read the comments, the challenges.
Because of the election it was used to denigrate Trump (who didn’t need Demos to do that, he was doing a good job on his own) and it got out of hand.
The Great Vaccine will be the cure, even as we see the reluctance and skepticism of the medical community. Politicians are publicly lining up, get their shots and, “See, it

Miracle. A year ago Big Pharma was the pariah, high prescriptions costs, etc. Now they knock out a vaccine in 6 months and they are the saviors. (Not to mention they
got many, many billions of bucks for this).
Based on what Foochy just said, the new “strain” is our express route to herd immunity.
No! Herd immunity does not exist naturally – only through vaccination!!!! /derpa-derpa-do

How did this happen?
The article assumes no “widespread” fraud occurred, and thus it’s just a messaging problem from officials who haven’t explained hard enough to us rubes, and been transparent and open to auditing.
But, if widespread fraud did occur, then the culprits are going to resist any auditing, of course. If you’re worried about going to jail for electoral fraud, perceived illegitamacy isn’t gonna be your top concern.
Nice. “You can’t make allegations which haven’t been proven true, and we won’t allow an investigation which is likely to prove them.”

I read yesterday that the wheat flour Americans have been eating since sometime in the 1950s is a very different strain to what they’re calling “heritage wheat.”
The heritage stuff is supposed to be easier to digest.
Before I make a purchase to try it out, do you guys have any experience to corroborate or to invalidate the claims?
https://sunriseflourmill.com/
I quit eating wheat many years ago and had an immediate improvement in gut health. Also my skin got better. It’s a very common story, so I wouldn’t doubt that the way we grow the stuff (synthetic fertilizers, weak soil) would have an effect on the end product.
I would give it a try. We have long since moved to other kinds of flour, but I’d be interested in your experience.
Will share if I do try it.

I read a white paper around a year ago regarding gluten intolerance that there were something like 6,000 different cultivars of wheat on our planet, and many of them had glutens that were different enough from the dominant cultivars that sub-populations that ate these different glutens had no detectable incidences of gluten intolerance; wish I could find that paper (or find out if my memory of it is correct).
I have a cousin who noted that her problems with wheat seemed to disappear every time she went to Europe and ate wheat products there. Wouldn’t surprise me.
QANON is real. It’s out there, and it’s coming for you!
I don’t think the “bad guys” are well-coordinated enough to pull off the conspiracies of which QAnon accuses them.

Shocking revelation: People who who “believe in” Qanon as a conspiracy of Democrats overwhelmingly support Bad Orange Conspiracist.
It’s all so very very scary.

Fuck off with the panic porn.
King, 87, has been hospitalized at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for more than a week, the source said. Due to protocols at the hospital, King’s three sons have been unable to visit him, according to the source.
87? I thought he was older than that.
On a serious note, his kids should be able to visit him.
It turns out that 10 months before she allegedly went berserk in a Soho lobby on the day after Christmas, Miya Ponsetto, 22, was busted in February after she and her mom allegedly caused a disturbance at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills by refusing to leave, according to TMZ.
She sounds nice.
Britain is set to allow the mixing of various coronavirus vaccines under special circumstances, despite limited knowledge on whether mixed doses provide the same amount of protection as uniform doses.
What could possibly go wrong?
“Thanks to the leadership of Chairman McGovern and our members, Democrats have crafted a package of unprecedented, bold reforms, which will make the House more accountable, transparent and effective in our work to meet the needs of the American people,” Pelosi said in the statement.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict the reforms will do none of these things.
The new year is off to a great start for 300 new Ethiopian immigrants, who just made aliyah in the first immigration flights of 2021.
Hopefully Israel is a better place for them.
In his upcoming book, “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), out Jan. 26, the professor lays out a compelling case for why an object that recently wandered into our solar system was not just another rock but actually a piece of alien technology.
Seems legit.
Old Guy Music is good.
“The Gripping Hand.”
Takes me right back to grad school days.
These euphemisms.
“Thanks to the leadership of Chairman McGovern and our members, Democrats have crafted a package of unprecedented, bold reforms, which will make the House more accountable, transparent and effective in our work to meet the needs of the American people,” Pelosi said in the statement.
She continued, “We never thought of any of these reforms in the last two years when we controlled the House. The light bulb went on after our losses in 2020 and the prospect that we better ‘reform’ now before we lose the House in 2022.”
I hate that woman so very, very much.
Trumpism is a cult.
Nothing at all like Democrats’ slobbery devotion to Obama, which was just rational agreement with a Great Man who understands America.
Yeah, funny how each side sees that only in the other, isn’t it?
Unprecedented. If the ‘vid can take down America’s Sweetheart, no one is safe. Will America finally listen?!
Let us know if it gives you the strength to get up and do what needs to be done.
Is this some sort of genderbender euphemism?
Miracle. A year ago Big Pharma was the pariah, high prescriptions costs, etc. Now they knock out a vaccine in 6 months and they are the saviors. (Not to mention they
got many, many billions of bucks for this).
Call me crazy, but if you can whip up a 90+% effective vaccine for your Pandemicus Killtasticus in a few months, the virus probably isn’t all that potent.
But what do I know? I’m no SCIENCE-tist, nor am I anybody’s Foremost Authority on anything.
Pelosi’s “reforms” still won’t keep wackadoodles like this from wandering around Congress, including the floor

So he was a rapist who now works as a Chinese spy? I’m voting for the Tumbrel-Cart Party for the foreseeable future.
I don’t know if we’re on the verge of an afternoon post but glibs please tell me anything you know about 3rd gen GM trucks. 3/4 ton preferably.
GM is garbage. F-150 or GTFO.
There was already a little guy on my shoulder yelling that. It’s a possibility.
Heh.
If you knew the amount of weed, meth, and beer that was consumed during breaks at the local F-150 assembly plant you might change your mind.
20% of the people on that line are three sheets to the wind most of their shift.
Slutty Sunday rejects your science!

Is that what’s referred to as the “square body”? I have one. It’s just like a pickup truck. No bells or whistles.
Yeah that’s the one. Sounds good to me.
I love the wildcard “if-then” scenarios for making the NFZl playoffs.
Example:

Not sure what the NFZI is, but it sounds hardcore.
I’m still trying to process why anyone would so slander the greatest English language author in human history? One of the Old Contemptable AND he invented an entire literary genre from whole-cloth. He inspired Led Zeppelin AND (quite literally) every single fantasy writer since the 1940s.

Sez you.
Given my choice, I’d rather have the previous iteration GM truck: ’67?-’72. I spent a lot of time looking, but they are getting hard to find, and if you unearth one, it’s not likely to be cheap.
I prefer the 74-87 because the cabs are larger
