- WAIT, ZARDOZ THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD TO BE THE (EX) KING?
- EMERGENCY TODAY! EMERGENCY TOMORROW! EMERGENCY FOREVER!
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
HAIL ZARDOZ !
Yer darn right!
Huzzah for forever war in the Levant/Mesopotamia! That plan CAN’T fail.
It’s been working so well so far!
Hey, those Raytheon kickbacks won’t write themselves.
I feel like I’m revisiting the heady days of Bush/Cheney….what a time to be alive!
When he starts bombing weddings it will be just like the Obama days.
So happy we are bombing someone…..
Such a relief that the country can return to NORMALCY again…
Finally someone is putting a stop to that horrific orangemanbad peace-mongering!
Statesmanlike!
*swoon*
But it isn’t a new conflict. I’m bored with the same old. I need to check my references to find a country we haven’t fought yet.
“Not It!” Not recently, anyways.
I hear Lichtenstein has been getting uppity…
Who owns the Sudetenland these days?
Can we all agree on Switzerland. They haven’t had a war in a long time. As a bonus, our occupation forces can enjoy the sights instead of staying in camp when they aren’t on duty.
*narrows gaze*
…
I might volunteer out of the Retired Reserve…I’d make a whiz bang military governor of Glarus Canton.
Wouldn’t you rather wait for the opportunity to be the Gauleiter of Cincinnati?
We haven’t fought ourselves recently, but there’s some kind of “domestic terrorist” law in the works so keep an eye out for local drone strikes.
I will restate my pitch for India-Pakistan as the next chapter in the forever ware. If you are gonna go, go big.
Getting involved in Kashmir has a bonus connection to China.
Maybe it would even lead to a Led Zeppelin reunion.
I need a gun drop over here. I can give you some grain in exchange.
I would be really careful mentioning grain around ZARDOZ. Might end up with a new “job”.
Query – What are they supposed to be doing with those poles and what in hell does it have to do with the cultivation of grain?
Diggin’ sticks.
All the metal is used for manufactuing more gifts.
Isn’t that why they used to have the cattle graze? Forget, I’m getting UCS about it. 🙂
Can ZARDOZ narrow his gaze?
I think he is a bit stony for that. But a good question nonetheless.
Stony. *giggles
Yeah man.
If FedGov is gonna this route, can Constantinople be liberated from the wicked Turk? Pretty please?
I’m sure you meant Istanbul
Byzantium.
That is an exonym, they called themselves “Roman.”
The city is, was, and always will be Byzantium. That Constantine fellow had no right to change it. The Turks even less.
So you live in the state of New Amsterdam?
No, Kanienʼkehá꞉ka
Wat zeg je now jongen?
And besides, robc, New Amsterdam was only the city on Manhattan island. I’m upstate.
It would be the state of New Netherland, near the town of Fort Orange.
Or Beverwyk. I don’t care for that name.
Nouvelle Angouleme or perhaps Lenapehoking

Speaking of long, hard objects…
An American Airlines pilot spotted a “long, cylindrical object” during a flight to Phoenix on Sunday.
One of the pilots of American Airlines Flight 2292 spotted an unknown objected flying above and across the path of the aircraft on a Sunday flight between Cincinnati and Phoenix, shortly after noon. “Do you have any targets up here?” he asked air traffic controllers on a recording obtained by CBS News.
The unnamed pilot was understandably anxious about the appearance of the unknown object and expressed concern that it might be a weapon of some kind. “We just had something go right over the top of us that — I hate to say this — looked like a long, cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise-missile type of thing moving really fast that went right over the top of us,” he said.
Some jackass testing a cruise missile type weapon near a civilian flight zone?
It is widely suspected that TWA Flight 800 was shot down by a US Navy ship-launched missile. At the time someone very high up in the DOD told me “if it was, you’ll never find out about it.”
It will come out 50 years after anyone that could sue the government has died…
Then again, the direction we are going now, might make all that unnecessary, as they will just adopt the practice of sending anyone that annoys them to camps.

Was trolling for yo mamma jokes but it will serve.
Made me think of this scene.
It was just Whoopi Goldberg’s vibrator.
Ever get to the point where you have so many things that need doing that you move to start on something, remember something else that needs doing, move to start on that, etc to the point where nothing is getting done and you’re just spinning in place?
Yeah, that’s where I am now.
Yes.
PS. Frequently.
I decided to try to break it by picking the simplest task and just ignoring everything else. So I decided I was going to apply a configuration change to the QA reverse proxiess. I’d already figured out the change yesterday so this is just editing text files on the other servers to make the relevant sections the same.
I cam upon one file and went “huh, looks like someone already made the change. When did they do that?” only to notice I was in the same place I’d just edited and hadn’t gone on to the one I thought I was changing. Now I have to make sure I only touched QA boxes and didn’t accidentally visit prod in my lack of focus.
/looks at the changes he had to do last week
Nope. Nope, I’ve never missed anything,
/looks at the e-mail he sent admitting his mistake, taking ownership, and asking permission to fix it
Well, maybe once or twice. As annoying as it is at times, I do kind of like my work forcing you to write out step by step directions in the Change Plans for any requested changes (theoretically so you can pass it off to someone else). It provides a very nice double check.
Thankfully, I didn’t visit prod, just didn’t change directory on the one server when I thought I did (turns out I repeated the cd command I’d done to get in that spot instead of to change to where I wanted to be – they were one character different instance1 versus instance2.)
Back when I did some modest Perl scripting for my own purposes (nothing professional), I’d comment out the braces and the if/then blocks just to make certain everything balanced out.
Always and forever.
Ah, motion, not progress. Unavoidable, as far as I can tell.
Good enough for government work.
Sounds like every day at work.
It happens a lot since we had kids
GOD YES
Try picking the easiest thing, do that, pick something easier, then ride that wave.
The other thing that helps me out of a work spin is picking something I’ve been putting off for a while and grind it out until it’s handled (often these tasks that I’ve been putting off because they are “a pain in the ass” end up getting completed in under 10 minutes)
Good luck!
US launches first airstrike under Biden against Iran-backed target in Syria
America is back, baby!
Now send Iran another pallet of American funny-money.
They’re working on it. Rest assured.
Oh, I forgot…+10% for the big guy.

Well, Biden is pretty handsy.
Carrying charges, m’ boy. Carrying charges.
TNT or C4?
It’s different when Puddin Cup does it. After the strike they send drones over the devastation to air-drop about twenty tons of expired Werthers.
His bombs come from a place of love and peace, not hate and white supremacy.
They just slap BLM and rainbow stickers on the bombs.
Build Back Better Syria.
That must work into a porn subcategory acronym.
Iran successfully pulled the “seize people, demand ransom” with the Koreans.
The Chinese are working on that strategy, as well.
That’s what the anal covid tests are for.
Humiliation? I thought it was just for shits and giggles.
Worked for the Taliban too.
The wisest foreign policy is to alternate between bombs and pallets of cash – keeps ’em on their toes.

She seems like and unpleasant, Karen of a person.
Anywho, I knew from the beginning that this shit would be unending until the masses started ignoring it.
Will she circle back today?
As soon as the drugs fall out of her ass.
I’m picturing my little doggo rubbing her ass on the carpet.
She ain’t called Pcircle Back Psaki for nothing.
Brown-eyed, busty ginger does take me back a space. Memories…

Going to circle back on that tweet in just a minute.
Of course the difference is ORANGEMANBAD!!
Regarding that Oregon story, when the Hell did we submit to rule by Librarians? Why even have elections, laws and Constitutions? Our resident Karen-in-Chief just pulled the same shit.

The declaration, made initially in March, was extended by Brown on Thursday to last until May 2 to maintain the legal foundation of Brown’s COVID-19-related executive orders and the state’s health and safety guidance as well as the state’s access to federal funds and assistance.
On one scale you’ve got power and money and the other you’ve got freedom. Hmmmm, which the governor choose?

Chicago solves its major problems, kicks back, and finds time to relax with some historical purging.
“Chicago is ‘reviewing’ 41 monuments including statues of Abraham Lincoln, Columbus, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin as it decides whether they should be replaced because of ties to slavery and oppression
“The Chicago Monuments Project has identified 41 monuments in the city that will undergo a ‘review’ on whether they should be removed
“They include five statues of President Abraham Lincoln
“It comes despite the Illinois motto reading ‘Land of Lincoln’
“‘Can we not cancel Lincoln in Chicago?’ one resident asked
“George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Christopher Columbus are among the other historical figures under review
“A city commision identified the statues from 500 around the city after the project began in the summer and the public are now being asked for comment
“It was launched after Columbus statues were attacked by BLM activists…
“Others identified included Ulysses S. Grant and William McKinley, as well as Robert Cavalier de la Salle, Jacques Marquette, Louis Jolliet, General John Logan, General Philip Henry Sheridan, and Leif Ericson.
“Many of the others include tributes to pioneers or depictions of Native Americans, as well as a police memorial based on the Haymarket riot.”

Monuments Men II – coming soon to a theater near you.
Wow. So everyone that made Chicago what it once was in a happier time is cancelled. Seriously, Ben Franklin? Did he get me-tooed?
Lincoln? Srsly?
But I just learned from Wikipedia that Franklin was a slaver.
Didn’t Franklin start the first abolition society in the colonies? Or something like that.
I have a comment. How about nutting up and not folding like a cheap suit to every single demand the Marxist mobs made last summer? They are not representative of “the people” as a whole. What do you say, Chicago (New York, Los Angeles, etc. etc. etc.)?
Yep. Put this stuff to a vote and it will go down in a resounding defeat.
They are not representative of “the people” as a whole.
Depends on how you define “people”. The Left has begun labeling anyone not Left as subhuman.
Fuckin’ Leif Ericson, white supremacist supreme.
Sure you dont mean Leif Garrett ?
Yeah, that one hits home. Leif Ericson Park near me is popular with the remnants of the Norwegian-American community that used to live here, and with everyone else.
Red cities/states should step up and offer to take all this art off the proggies’ property to be boldly displayed where there’ll be appreciated.
Now that is how you troll!
Hell, offer to do the removal and transport. Saves the current city the cost of removal, the new city gets a hell of a deal on some fine public art. Win-win!
Ulysses S. Grant
Yeah, God forbid the guy who fucked the Confederacy in the ass should have a statue around black people.

Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC
Appreciate Biden Administration striking Iranian-backed militia groups in Syria who’ve been pushing attacks against American forces in Iraq and other locations. It is imperative that our enemies know that attacking Americans comes at a cost.

Miss Graham never met a US military action she didn’t like.
Freddy the Great comes to mind.
Graham is a neo-con poofter. An entertaining one when he takes on SJW’s (he’ll cut a bitch) but he is of, for and bred to the swamp.
As someone who lives in SC, the swamp is home to him.
And to me too, I guess.
I like you a lot better than Lyndly, robc.
Did anyone ever figure out who’s hand is up Graham’s ass working the strings (since McCain died)?
Pat Buchanan?
I can say many bad things about Pat, but calling him a neo-con isn’t one of them.

I think I hate Republicans more than Democrats. At least Democrats can admit who they are.
The vast right wing conspiracy strikes again
The Senate parliamentarian has ruled against including the increase in the minimum wage in the Covid relief bill.
While Democrats had pushed for the increase to be included — and leadership expressed its disappointment in the ruling Thursday evening — its removal may actually make it easier to pass the bill, senior Democratic sources believe, because it’ll avoid a messy fight over whether to strip it out of the bill and whether to compromise.
“President Biden is disappointed in this outcome, as he proposed having the $15 minimum wage as part of the American Rescue Plan,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement. “He respects the parliamentarian’s decision and the Senate’s process.”
Why won’t they just let us what we want?
They’re destroying DEMOCRACY.
Nothing like mandating small businesses hike wages after they’ve been shut down and restricted by government edict to the point of bankruptcy. That’s a real rescue plan there.
Foreseeable consequences are not unintended. They really do hate the middle class and entrepreneurship.
Oh yeah, I’m absolutely sure they intend to destroy small businesses to benefit their big corporation cronies and convert as many middle class as possible into dependent class.
Government control of monopolistic giant entities is easier than attempting to hear the small business cats…
That convenience store owner can just sell his extra yacht.
They have a lot of kids, those brown folk. They can afford to sell one or two off for the greater good.

We so need legislation to force legislators to only introduce and pass clean bills. Who am I kidding, they’ll just redefine things so vaginoplasty is covered under the next hurricane relief act.
Seems fishy.

You think they’re gonna dangle that in from of the women folk?
I wonder how many other irrelevant leftist fantasies were shoved into that steaming pile of shit that we’re not hearing about.
“We have to pass it to…”
Oh, screw it.

Perhaps that should* be in a separate piece of legislation instead of loading up a “coronavirus relief package” with so much pork that it resembles a Smithfield plant.
*bad idea either way, of course.
I’d wager that behind closed doors a lot of Dems are dancing with joy. They can tell their base that they tried, but some parliamentarian has blocked them from being able to include it in the bill and their hands are totes tied.
They know it would be disastrous to the economy, but they were forced into trying to pass it by their mob.
The only thing that didn’t work out perfectly for them is the fact that the parliamentarian is an old black lady. The perfect storm would have been an old white guy from Mississippi, then they really could have dialed up the hate machine.
They are so very very careful to pretend she isn’t a Democrat.
I had never really heard about the parliamentarian before. Then about 10 days ago there were a bunch of stories about this gal and her predecessor. The stories all made it sound like her word was inviolate and nothing could be done.
One of the reasons I think that this was a planned dodge by the Dems.
Oh, it was planned.
This is a “I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those damn kids” moment.
Baseball birthdays: HoFer Pete Alexander, an insane gap, Preacher Roe, another gap, mortals.
At age 39, The cubs waived Pete. StL picked him up, he was mediocre but serviceable for them the rest of the year. Then, he layed the freakin hammer down in the World Series vs the Yankees. Went 2-0 in 3 games, pitched 20 1/3 innings with a 1.33 ERA. He won games 2 and 6 and got the save in game 7.
In game 7, he pitched 2 1/3 inning with 1 walk in a 1 run game. After throwing 9 the night before.
You mean Grover.
Yes, Pete, was named for a President. I am not sure how Pete is the nickname for Grover Cleveland, but it is.
Nicknames are strange. Confederate General Longstreet (before he was cancelled) was called “Pete” too.
His name was James.
I know a Joseph that goes by Rick. Richard isn’t in his name.
Some people are just born Dicks.
Or can be when they want.
He had also gotten hammered drunk after game 6. So he saved game 7 with a wicked hangover. Some heroes look different than others…

The leader of the far-right Proud Boys group does not care that lawmakers were terrorized by rioters inside the US Capitol on January 6 as they tried to do their jobs.
”I’m not gonna cry about people who don’t give a crap about their constituents. I’m not going to sympathize with them,” Enrique Tarrio says.
——-
The day after the attack, Tarrio posted a photo of House members crouched down and hiding, with a caption, “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny … When the government fears the people … There is liberty.” He told CNN he was quoting Thomas Jefferson, though there is no evidence the third President ever said that, according to his foundation.
“When they support drone-bombing children in the Middle East … [and] those people are dead and they’re just cowering because a group of misfits came into the Capitol, I’m not going to be sympathetic,” Tarrio tells CNN.
He doubles down, dismissing the specter of a mob that had hammered on doors to the House and Senate trying to get to those inside: “I’m not going to worry about people that their only worry is to be reelected.”
How could he not be moved by the plight of those terrorized public servants?
Five people died! Right there in the rotunda. They were hacked to death with machetes.
I thought it was clubbed with fire extinguishers.
Eaten by wolves!
Who cares who said it, it’s true and obvious.
“forget it, he’s rolling”
Not to statist scum it isn’t. And that’s the problem. They really believe in the goodness of government. They also really believe that the vast majority of “the people” also believe in the goodness of government. They also don’t realize that many people pretend to agree with them so as not to be demonized as anti-government deplorables.
They are officially designated a “hate group” here.
”I’m not gonna cry about people who don’t give a crap about their constituents. I’m not going to sympathize with them,” Enrique Tarrio says.
I agree. And that is a strange name for an alleged white-supremacist.
And the pic too – as soon as I saw that I made pretty much your comment on my FB (with link).
I think it was Michael Malice who claimed on Dave Smith’s podcast that a lot of GOP critters were surprised to discover that their constituents were not at all mad about Jan 6th.
Malice said that a lot of the GOP critters were geared up to grovel and apologize for the “insurrection” when they went back to their districts. Instead, their constituents told them “See?! You had better start listening to us”
An honest person interviewing more than the DC beltway and ruling elite would probably find that the condemnation of the protest on 1/6 isn’t nearly as universal as you would think reading MSM.
a lot of GOP critters were surprised to discover that their constituents were not at all mad about Jan 6th
That seems to echo McConnell’s 180 reverse to support Trump in 2024 after viciously attacking him in a oped a couple weeks ago. I’ve seen several polls now (take it for what it’s worth) that a strong majority of Republican voters support Trump and a smaller number but still a majority believe the election was stolen.
Both of these views are counter to the eGOP’s narrative, and I think have caught them completely offguard. Cheney is down to something like 10% approval among Wyoming Republicans for voting to impeach.
Trump is a symptom not a cause which goes back to what Malice is saying. The eGOP thought they could go back to eating from the trough as normal once they got rid of Trump but the party has permanently shifted.
What’s the “e” in eGOP? Ersatz?

OREO Cookie
@Oreo
Trans people exist.
Um…ok. ///Woke-eo
Of course they exist, but I’m not going to indulge their delusions. A man doesn’t become a woman by slicing his dick off.
A man apparently becomes a woman by declaring “I’m a woman”
Hear me roar.
Honestly, Oreo should change its name to something that isn’t a racial slur.
It’s not a slur. It is only used against race traitors.
Hydrox?
There’s no proof it is effective against COVID.
Isn’t that the snake oil Trump was trying to peddle?
Right?
Use that term to search pr0nhub…
Trans fats exist.
Oreo flavors are kinda like genders, a new one everyday.
It’s the “invisibility” problem. If you fail to mention or somehow “include” (ie quotas) trans people in whatever you’re doing you’re trying to erase them from society. “Look at me, look at me.”
Aren’t they something like 0.03% or less of the population?
Or am I being bigoted by limiting it to diagnosed dysphorics and not self-identified people?
Depends on whether or not you’re talking to middle schoolers.
I’d swear half the girls of that age think they’re some special gender other than what they were born.
And the school systems are encouraging it either actively or implicitly by droning on and on about how we shouldn’t offend those people. Tweeners love nothing more than to be considered special and immune to criticism.
If not mutilated or drugged, the overwhelming majority of minors grow out of such assertions. The easiest way to do so would be to stop giving them positive attention over it.
The easiest way to do so would be to stop giving them positive attention over it.
The educational system has no intention of doing so. Nor does the media. Nor does the psychologist industry.
I’ve spoken to parents that are scared that if they oppose the kids’ delusions, that the kids will commit suicide, so they go along with it. The more worthless parents celebrate and encourage the kids’ fantasies.
You have to work hard as a parent to keep your kids away from that crap these days. All the while trying to explain that the adults are failing the kids and that the appropriate response for your own kids to take is to acknowledge but not encourage it.
I’ve had to get my own kids to tone down their dismissal of it because it’s easy for them to fall into actual discriminatory behavior. It’s hard for kids to walk that line of opposition or even apathy without crossing into demeaning teasing or such. Never mind that the backlash onto them can be overwhelming for not toeing the current line.
The educational complex is actively trying to undermine parental authority right now and I despise them for it.
I’ve had to get my own kids to tone down their dismissal of it because it’s easy for them to fall into actual discriminatory behavior
The wokesters are a simple, binary people. If you don’t celebrate as currently required, you are a bigot. There’s no middle ground, no “I think this is a mistake, but its yours to make” or similar.
It’s my 14 year old daughter who’s most ticked off. She sees her friends crawling over each other to either claim a special gender or be the most vocal about protecting those “victims” of society.
She resents it and it’s affecting her interactions with other kids. I don’t blame her for it, but I’m trying to teach her how to navigate a social field that’s riddled with landmines.
Good on you, Scruffy.
I’ve had to get my own kids to tone down their dismissal of it because it’s easy for them to fall into actual discriminatory behavior.
This sadly is coming. Not just gender identity, but race, ethnicity, and whatever else. MLK’s dream is further away today than it has since before his speech and it’s still receding. And those assholes did it intentionally to gather power for themselves.
This why I love living in a rural area. SJW crap is minimal to non-existent and most of our teachers/staff are normal (read: not progressive) people with kids in the schools. It’s a great little town in a horrible state (IL), a lot of us are willing to be assholes to keep the BS out too.
silence is violence
Looking forward to the day that a “woke” is just a “wook”.

Why is the woke mob so scared?
The recent cancellation of Professor Gregory Clark at the University of Glasgow is a case in point. Yesterday, it was reported that Clark — a professor of economics at the University of California and visiting professor at the London School of Economics — was last week unable to give a lecture in Glasgow because of its title: “For Whom the Bell Curve Tolls: A Lineage of 400,000 Individuals 1750-2020 Shows Genetics Determines Most Social Outcomes”. The reference to John Donne’s poem, later appropriated by Ernest Hemingway, was not the problem. The allusion to the work of Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein clearly was.
The Bell Curve, a 1994 book by Murray and Herrnstein, remains one of the most controversial pieces of analysis in the modern era. Though its critics tend not to have read the work, they insist that it not only argues for but positively rejoices in the idea that intelligence is largely determined by a person’s race. It is a misunderstanding that has rumbled on for over a quarter of a century, and every discussion of the book usually ends in acrimony. And so when Professor Clark hinted at the work in his lecture’s title, the university asked him to change it.
In some ways, this was to be expected. The University of Glasgow had recently published a new report titled “Understanding Racism: Transforming University Cultures”, which sets out an action plan to make the university “an inclusive space for all”. As Clark himself put it: “My talk was regarded as a provocation in this situation. I had a half-hour Zoom meeting with the dean. He would reschedule the talk if I agreed to change the paper title to not have any reference to ‘bell curve’. I have refused.”
None of the have read “The Bell Curve”, but they can likely go on for hours about “The Bell Jar”
You can’t unring that curve.
I like his spine, no bend in it.
Why is the woke mob so scared?
They’re not. They’re impatient and spiteful.
And they are actively trying to harm you.
Mornin’ folks.
Sorry, Oregon. We have the same shit here, but we don’t merit national media coverage.
Musical link.
Have a solid Friday, bitches.
The gov’s “emergency” declaration is the least of it. The legislature is on a steamroller to roll back concealed carry, impose sweeping new gun control, and they have a supermajority so is unlikely to be stopped.

Elite retardation/dishonesty.
First, they make the argument that since it’s not the government‘s job to protect citizens from other citizens, that regulating guns is a viable solution:
Second, they state that “opinions“ matter, and that preemption laws need to be wiped out. They also admit that “gun control needs to be reframed“. Ever wonder why gun control organizations are now using “gun safety“ as their new slogan?
“What we need is to sort of brainwash people against gun ownership” – probable misquote but general idea of something Barry’s wingman said.
“Federal and state government responsibility to protect citizens”
So each citizen will be issued its own personal bodyguard Model 101 Terminator?
reduce gun violence through regulations on gun use and ownership.
That’s quite the stolen base. First, prove that regulations on gun use and ownership reduce gun violence.
And hasn’t the SCOTUS ruled that the police (the government’s enforcement arm) have no obligation to protect anyone? Doesn’t that by extension imply that the government has no obligation to protect anyone?
In fact, prove that using the example of Chicago versus the rest of Illinois.
Yep, even if the gun dealer does everything right and the gun is then stolen from its legitimate owner.
It would be like penalizing an auto-manufacturer/dealer if someone drives a car through a crowd. I fail to see how penalizing gun manufactures/distributors is any different with or without the lawful arms act (or w/e it is called) that Dems are trying to get rid of.
Without the lawful arms act dealers and manufacturers would have to defend themselves against thousands of nuisance lawsuits in the face of leftist judges and emotionally plaintiff-sympathetic juries.
All the more that the Left hates the PLCA. It’s robbed them of one of their favorite weapons.
I have stopped using the term “elite” to describe these low-lifes. I call them The Connected, because really, for most of them, that’s all they are.
Amazing birthday day today. Ted Sturgeon, Jackie Gleason, Tony Randall, Tex Avery (my hero), Johnny Cash, Rudolph Dirks, Herbert Dow, John Kellogg, Levi Strauss, Victor Hugo, Giulio Natta, Ariel Sharon, Chuck Wepner… I mean, holy fuck.
The Bayonne Bleeder
I remember a wonderful Foto Funny with Wepner. He’s talking to two guys in a bar, one of them says, “I just want to shake the hand that knocked down Ali.” His friends says, “And the foot that helped.”
Save it for Saturday you little slut! I needs them links like my morning tea!
Did you know?
The Senate Parliamentarian is UNELECTED.
NOT FAIR!
Senators used to be unelected by the hoi-polloi.
Maybe you guys should start electing judges… wait, you already do.
[glares at Festus] Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices are elected.
Only in some states, Festus. Federal judges are appointed for life (real ones anyway).
Ours are appointed with no civilian oversight. Ponder that on the Tree of Woe.
Top Men
Summers, who served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations, has warned that deficit-financed spending now on a short-term relief package could make it harder for the Biden administration to find money later for long-term investments in things like infrastructure.
He’s also concerned that with consumer spending already on the rise, a surge in new federal spending could overwhelm businesses, triggering something the U.S. hasn’t seen in a long time: inflation.
“We need to make sure we’re concerned with not overheating the economy,” Summers said.
Senior administration officials, however, are pushing back, saying millions of Americans still need the help badly.
“I’ve spent many years studying inflation and worrying about inflation. And I can tell you we have the tools to deal with that risk if it materializes,” Yellen, a former Federal Reserve Chair, told CNN this month.
“But we face a huge economic challenge here and tremendous suffering in the country,” she added. “We’ve got to address that. That’s the biggest risk.”
Don’t worry, be happy. We’ll all be rich.
Meanwhile, SPF lumber is trading at $1000 /board foot. That’s about three times what it is usually worth. What the fuck is going on here? We’ve seen a flurry of construction going on locally while the economy is basically paralysed. New hotels and apartment buildings and yet our population has been shrinking for twenty years. It’s not tin-foil territory, I think the big movers and shakers are dumping assets into fungible properties. 2008 might be a cake walk in comparison. I sure hope not because that recession near ended me.
There was a V-shaped recovery, but the high point now is not at the high-point then and there’s pent-up demand for renovation and construction.
Weird, but we are in the midst of a big kitchen renovation we’ve held off on for several years until now.
It’s also a lot of work-from-homers sitting in the same place every day realizing “shit, we should really change this room or that room.” Our contractor is having a hard time finding anyone who can work.
“We need to make sure we’re concerned with not overheating the economy,” Summers said.
That ship has sailed and is in the process of running aground and sinking.
deficit-financed spending now on a short-term relief package could make it harder for the Biden administration to find money later for long-term investments in things like infrastructure.
They don’t “find” money, they just print/borrow it. Now, if Summers is saying that we are print/borrowing way too much and will eventually destroy the dollar by doing so, good on him. But it seems like he’s saying we’re not print/borrowing way too much, we’re just not spending it on the
croniesprojects I prefer.Good morning Glibs.
So I decided to stop bitching about not being able to go see live music and do something about it. On the Sat after St. Patrick’s day I working to organize a concert of “Irish music” inspired punk bands at a local brewery. I’m working with a local promoter and we are going to use this show to measure the risk aversion of the locals, police, and the venues to live music inside. It will be a mix of well known artists live stream events with live performances in between to make a full set and a good night of beer and music.
It’s technically legal to have live music performances, but most bars can’t make it work financially due to reduced occupancy requirements of the PLCB. I hope this event sets the stage for this venue to open up to larger national touring acts in the coming months.
Good on you.
Let us know how it turns out.
Well done!
Good for you. This reminds me of the recent Glibs article about active resistance, passive resistance, and hiding out. Lately I have the itch to actively resist, to “do something”, and what you’re doing is a great example. I hope you are successful.
I’m the resident James Dean at work. Anytime I’m working alone the mask is doffed. Someone else approaches? Under nose compliance.
Awesome. I wish you massive success!
Cool! Any chance your local bits can be live streamed too, with a link to a handy virtual tip jar?
Would outdoor performances lessen the regulatory burden, and allow the breweries, etc, to distance themselves from the event out of reasonable concern for retribution?
Good luck to all involved. Please do a writeup when this is all over.
Thanks all for the encouragement. Right now we are doing a test case with low risk monetarily and low reward (the band is OK and not my bag). Plus I’m not expecting anything but free beer and a good time doing singalongs.
The outside venue is great but to facilitate it it requires quite bit of commitment monetarily and buy in by the bands. The band for the inside show is really hungry so they don’t care if they get bad press for doing a “COVID show”. Some of the more established bands can’t risk that kind of bad exposure.
I’ll try to get some live feeds or at least some pictures from the brewery’s web site.
Strange position to be in.
Come on down and see some music! Best case we prove this works and you can start listening to more live music. Worst case, you get to see a crappy band die as retribution for playing crappy music in public.
There will also likely be a go fund me in the future to get buy and tickets for future shows. Essentially VIP passes and T-shirts/swag.
Unfortunately, I already have plans that weekend. Otherwise I’d be asking for the location.
I’ll give you info on future endeavors. There is definitely going to be more with bigger acts. Check out this band from Philly, they have a great lead singer. I expect to have them playing up here later this year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYb_ZFA7JgY
Very Checkered Cabs feel to them.
Great!
Listening to them now. I think I need more happy good times music these days.
One of the things I miss about live shows, seeing bands like the Slackers. I’m fairly certain it was impossible to leave a Slackers show mad.
*stands to applaud*
Nice!
Fighting terror with terror
Acting US Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman warned Thursday that militia groups involved in the January 6 insurrection want to “blow up the Capitol” and “kill as many members as possible” when President Joe Biden addresses Congress.
Pressed by House lawmakers to provide a timeline for removing the razorwire fencing and other enhanced security measures installed after the US Capitol attack, Pittman said law enforcement remains concerned about threats by known militia groups “with a direct nexus to the State of the Union” address.
“We know that members of the militia groups that were present on January 6 have stated their desires that they want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members as possible with a direct nexus to the State of the Union, which we know that date has not been identified,” she told House lawmakers during Thursday’s hearing on security failures related to January 6.
“We know that the insurrectionists that attacked the Capitol weren’t only interested in attacking members of Congress and officers,” she added. “They wanted to send a symbolic message to the nation as to who is in charge of that legislative process.”
Why would anybody be dissatisfied or angry about how this country is “governed”?
Press forward with your mandate, Democrats. Trample the deplorables underfoot if they presume to resist your benevolent assistance.
“They wanted to send a symbolic message to the nation as to who is in charge of that legislative process.”
For some reason, Im not having an issue with that. Sadly, it the people “in charge” that can’t see the message.
Notably lacking from that story: “she said without evidence”.
They are really strangling this narrative for all it’s worth.
Ok you know people want to blow up the Capitol? Why haven’t they been arrested? Oh because you’re full of shit and want an excuse to broadly spy on Americans.
The FBI is too busy chasing and beating up guys who took empty soda cans from his boss’ apartment.
Explosives seem like a lazy tweak to the story they are so obviously copying.
I bet the G-Men who are working the poor patsy who will be blamed for the explosion are excited. For once they don’t have to give the dupe fake bombs and swoop in before any damage can be done.
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if feds from some agency aren’t planning to plant, and possibly detonate, a few bombs if necessary to get their domestic war on terror going.
It must be agonizing for them. Not being able to blow up some evil GOP-ers lest those fuckers get some sympathy.
Now they have to look through the lists of Dems who could be good candidates for martyrdom. I’d be worried if I was Bernie.
Nice excuse for not having a SOTU.

Paging R C Dean
So very… gray.
*clicks, quickly closes browser window before Mrs. Dean sees it*
The Massachusetts title makes me a little nervous. Salt be the debil, yo.
This is very intriguing: Eurocharged Performance ECU reflash I believe that removes the 155 mph governor and probably tweaks it in more of a track car direction.
But, silver-gray? Seriously? You get a car like that and you say, “I want it in the most generic color you have”?
My car is silver with black interior…hides the dirt and imperfections in the paint…
Oh, its a practical color. That’s just not a practical car.
And, yes, Mercedes had to redo the front ends on their cars because of Euro regulations. They had to make them blunter to “protect pedestrians”. One of the reasons the front ends on so many cars are hideous these days.
I’m not a fan of that front end. Something about it is off.
2 more people in my department quit. Which means my ‘a couple of weeks filling in on 3rd shift’ is definitely going end up lasting longer than the years it’s already been…Just 2 weeks to bend the curve!
Sorry, Friend. My job just gets harder and harder also. I don’t know how many years I have left. I need an angle like “Athsma Guy”.
Shocking
A federal judge in Texas ruled on Thursday that an order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) temporarily halting evictions amid the pandemic is unconstitutional.
In a 21-page ruling, U.S. District Judge John Barker sided with a group of landlords and property managers who alleged in a lawsuit that the CDC’s eviction moratorium exceeded the federal government’s constitutional authority.
“Although the COVID-19 pandemic persists, so does the Constitution,” Barker, a Trump appointee, wrote.
The CDC order, initially issued by former President Trump in September, generally made it a crime for property owners to evict tenants who were unable to pay rent and had no options for affordable housing.
Those protections were extended by Congress and later under President Biden to last through March.
But in Thursday’s decision, Barker ruled that Congress lacked the constitutional authority to grant CDC the power to halt evictions nationwide, and said the agency’s order threatened to encroach on landlords’ rights under state law.
Will wonders never cease?
Trump appointee? IMPEACH.
“But! But! Muh commerce clause!!”
Aside from the question of “does the federal government have the authority to do this”, I’m wondering how the CDC specifically has the authority to do it.
Affordable housing is a public health crisis?
This never made sense anyway. No consideration is given to the fact that the property owners probably owe money on said property as well. Go ahead and let them go bankrupt and see if the tenants still have housing.
A few of the properties I have looked at (from afar) have had rented or rentable houses on them.
And then I regain my senses and say,
“No
fucking
way.”
I wanted to buy in the Victoria area some years back but every property was lease-held. Fuck that shit. Ended up moving back here and becoming the sexy janitor that you all know and love. Damn, I loved that city. If I could have bought some property free and clear I’d be golfing tomorrow.
Attorneys for the Justice Department who defended the federal government in the case did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Legal experts expect the case to be appealed to the Texas-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.
At least it’s not going to the Ninth.
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if feds from some agency aren’t planning to plant, and possibly detonate, a few bombs if necessary to get their domestic war on terror going.
They’ve got the right targets in their crosshairs, now. Where’s Lon Horiuchi, when you need him?
They’re probably frantically trying to get their moles in misc. militias to provoke a bombing, and being frustrated that most of these militias are far too inept to actually pull it off. I wonder when they will get to the point of saying “fuck it, we’ll do the bombing and frame them for it”.
But, silver-gray? Seriously? You get a car like that and you say, “I want it in the most generic color you have”?
Until a cloaking device becomes readily available? Yes.
Yep. I deliberately buy my vehicles to blend in with the flow of traffic. Haven’t had a speeding ticket since 1992.
Not Festus
Buggy and whip would make Judi happy.
Are you wearing the reins in this scenario?
I had a boss once who drove a red corvette. He said having a good attorney was part of the cost of owning the car.
“Arrest-me red”, as my dad would call it.
My father said the same thing.
That’s not a car you buy if you want to be inconspicuous or blend in.
People kept driving into the back of my Z3. I’m sure that it being silver + low made it too difficult for knuckleheads to realize how close it was.
I miss that car.
Mrs. Dean, who drives a lifted bright yellow FJ Cruiser, is constantly amazed at how many people apparently can’t see it.
And hey! There’s that whole motorcycle business.
Why the fuck would you accept delivery of a “report” that’s just a link, with no documentation as to what the underlying information is, where it’s pulling from, or how to update it in the future?
I know why someone delivered it that way… it worked in the moment, and they were on their way out the door (retirement).
I’ve had the “fun” of trying to reverse engineer it from some janky ass links, and e-mail threads from the individual who’s gone.
At first I thought you were referring to the report just given to Congress that white supremacist militias are on the brink of bombing the Capitol building flat.
The same reason that people don’t wipe their feet when they enter a building. They either don’t give a shit or are clueless. In some respects, a few of them do it out of pure spite, I’d venture. I wonder who’s Sister I fucked to get played the way I did last night. It’s a small city and I’ve been drinking heavily for 40 years…
I like that for the next time you see somebody doing it:
“Hey, why are you tracking mud that I have to clean up all over the building? Did I fuck your sister or something?”
Already happened last night but I couched my words because he’s a sweet kid.
When I worked in an amusement park, people would see me with my broom and bucket, look right at me, flick their cigarette butt on the ground in front of me and smile.
I eventually learned to run over, sweep it up in a hurry, and exclaim “Oh THANK you! Do you have another one? Please flick another butt on the ground, please! This is fun!”
Which is exactly why I suspect the utopian dreams of a future where no one owns their own vehicle, and everyone uses some kind of ride service where autonomous electric cars are your form of transportation, never happen. The interiors of such vehicles will be as sparkling clean and tidy as taxicabs and city buses. In other words, dirty and disgusting.
Unfortunately, I agree. We will probably own our own autonomous vehicles. It still helps the parking situation, as my own AV doesn’t have to park in prime real estate after dropping me off.
I have seen an estimate that there are about 8 parking spaces per vehicle in America. With AV, even privately owned, that number drops dramatically. And they will be scattered “parking zones” away from dense commercial districts.
Of course, you don’t even need to take the trip sometimes, just send the AV to walmart on its own, let WM load it up with the stuff you ordered and have it bring the stuff home.
War is awesome when our guy is doing it!
So tediously, painfully stupid.

Looking at her Tweets shows she’s just a partisan piece of shit attack dog. Sad to see but not surprising.
If I had nothing better to do, I could spend all day just crushing people like this on Twatter with the same line every time they praise Forever War under Dems: “Really? How many deployments do you have, fuckhead?”
I suppose I could do that, but when you wield a soldering iron throughout your deployments rather than a rifle, best to leave it to others 🙂
I have nowhere near the time in the barrel that some folks do, but I’ve got more than enough to put toads like that in their place.
Don’t sell yourself short Chipwooder. The rumor they always threatened us with in the late ’80s was that when they ran short of door gunners, the would “recruit” replacements from the ATC technicians. So shape up because you don’t want your gunney to voluntorder your lippy ass.

“The ruling from the Senate parliamentarian is disappointing, because raising the minimum wage would give 27 million Americans a well-deserved raise and pull nearly one million Americans out of poverty in the middle of a once-in-a-century devastating pandemic and economic crisis,” said Pelosi in a statement Thursday evening.
“House Democrats believe that the minimum wage hike is necessary. Therefore, this provision will remain in the American Rescue Plan on the floor tomorrow. Democrats in the House are determined to pursue every possible path in the Fight For 15,” she added.
I thought Dems cared about the little people who need convid relief.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
We can’t let rules get in the way of progress.
Stutterin’ Joe seems to be walking back a few promises. I guess the young pioneers will have to wait a cycle or two.
If Democrats feel like the minimum wage hike is so critical and necessary, why not introduce a simple bill that raises it and then ram it through using their control of the House, Senate and Presidency?
What is stopping them from doing that?
What is stopping them from doing that?
They’ve agreed to keep the filibuster in place for now in the Senate. Budget vote only requires 50 votes.
The filibuster can be dropped whenever, but I don’t think they want to blow their wad on this. I’m guessing we’ll see it go if the Dems move forward to implement control through packing the SC and statehood for DC/PR. Then the floodgates will open for everything else, including raising the min wage.
filibuster
The parliamentarian ruled that the minimum wage can’t be changed as part of budgetary reconciliation that is immune to filibuster.
OK. I had forgotten that they were using chicanery to spend another $1.9T that we don’t have.
Still, if I was the Dems I’d still try to pass a stand alone bill as a sop to the base. I’m not sure the GOP wouldn’t have 10 defectors in the Senate if it came up for a vote.
Kirsten Sinema, potentially?
I think that there is a long list of Dems who would run for the hills if anyone was crazy enough to write a Fight for Fifteen bill. They know how unpopular that would be with any non-crazy person.
In fact the GOP should write that bill and enter it into the record and then taunt the Dems.
The bad part of an Etsy store is when the USPS loses your shipment and you have an angry customer on the other end of the transaction. *sigh*
Ummm…this is why you don’t use USPS?
I know UPS or FedEx is more expensive, but at least when they lose a package, you will know exactly where it was lost, due to tracking.
The “more expensive” part is why I can’t use the others. People won’t pay that kind of shipping and I don’t want to lose money by pricing my products so high.
Also, USPS usually does give tracking, but for some reason, this USPS person said it was too light to have tracking and so I had no option. I can trick the self-serve kiosk into it, but not a person and I didn’t have the option of a kiosk at that moment.
USPS “tracking” is lackluster at best. You get no details as it travels across the country.
You can get details. I learned it took a week for my brother’s Christmas gift to go from Virginia to Maryland. Then 2 more weeks to get to Minnesota. Then it sat in Minnesota for another 3days before it was finally delivered. Priority mail.
I thought all priority mail automatically got a tracking ID from the USPS.
Back in 2000 I wrote a program that used the USPS api to get tracking info and email that to a client’s customers. Robc is right that the details aren’t great, but their API was well documented and worked which was an amazing feat back in those days.
UGH! I’m sorry to hear about that. One of the reasons I’m loath to abandon Amazon is the ease of returns/refunds (I ordered a 4 pack of stemware that had to be shipped 5 different times before I got a complete set thanks to ham-handed carriers). I suppose that’s one of those economy of scale benefits that a smaller merchant can’t afford. Is USPS liable for the loss, was it a one of a kind item?
Oh, no, it was fully replaceable. I offered her to refund the money or send a replacement. She said to give it a few more days.
Now that Joe put on his big boy pants to get the fawning adoration of the press with his amazing military prowess…does he stop there or go for more.
I haven’t looked. Are they showering him with praise?
If by reporting by straight news, then yes, I believe that to be praise. Even the article about Russia only receiving 4-5 minutes heads up is just…amazingly straight news.
Biden is a true leader that understands the nuance of foreign relations, cares for Americans at home and abroad and has surrounded himself with the best people to get the job done. Case in point.
In the protracted effort to see who will blink first between Tehran and the Biden administration, Thursday’s strikes on Iranian-backed militia in Syria are but a tiny insect floating into both their gazes. It’s not going to change much, but is a reminder they may need to close their eyes eventually.
Both US President Joe Biden and Iran’s leadership would prefer a world with a revived Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — the formal name for the Iran nuclear deal — than one without. It’s just getting there that is proving hard. The direction of travel is obvious, but the traffic lights are flickering red, and bomb craters have now been placed in the way.
The strikes near Abu Kamal in Syria are a small signal that the Biden administration is not gun-shy, and that attacks on US personnel have consequences. But they were about as minimally lethal as they could be. …
Biden has surrounded himself with Iran experts — his Secretary of State Antony Blinken and CIA head nominee Bill Burns are steeped in the original 2015 deal’s creation. The sole and small risk in this pedigreed team is that they underestimate the damage the last four years of Trump has done to faith in careful American diplomacy.
Yet Biden seems relatively relaxed about the breathless timetable that Iran’s parliament and hard-liners have set for the deal to be renewed by late February. This has seen Iran’s enrichment rise to 20% (with the added threat of a jump to 60% from the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei).
Ozzy Man has posted a new Destination Fucked – https://youtu.be/LVsaTJ1YqqY

So, a follow up to the water treatment facility that got “hacked”. Long story short, their security was bad bad bad. Like this level.
The plant is on windows 7, directly connected to the internet with no firewall at all. But that wasn’t really the “hack”, no, it was something far more stupid:The operators were using Team Viewer to remotely run the plant. And they were using the default logins. Baby town frolics indeed.
Police are saying it was probably a pissed off worker and not foreign terrorists. Of course that always leaves them open to accuse “muh domestic terrorism” if they want.
Fuck.

Ditto 2016. The Short-Fingered Vulgarian has always been a NYC type centrist Democrat. Couple that with his narcissism and the Democrat Party could have passed just about legislation they wanted had they employed a wee bit of flattery and let him put his name on whatever the project was (in mob-rococo gold no less).
He underestimated the hatred that they have for him. He chose poor fellow-travellers and here we are. President Puddin Cup.
Yep. That was actually what I feared most when he was elected. It would have been so easy for them to get much of what they wanted outta him if they just played to his vanity.

They try to push Peterson down my throat too, even after I thumbs them down they’ll replay them. Apparently he’s the algorithmically approved right wing radical.

Explosion strikes ship
Wut? Explosions strike things? Is that like when an officers gun discharges?
Look, fucksticks, explosions typically do not strike things. First ‘someone’ does something and then there’s an explosion.
Still living in alternate universe, TMITE doubles down.

I’m out, fellows. Have a grand day and try not to trip over your own dicks like we usually do.
Too busy to read much about the missile strikes in Syria, so I need some of you to enact some labor for me.
Did we blow up a lot of stuff and kill a lot of people? Or was it some lame strike like Iran launched after we got their VIP at the airport? Lob a few missiles that are guaranteed to not hit anything important just so you can walk around claiming you ain’t no punk.
Excuse me…we have a new term called “defensive precision strike.”
As for what died or whatnot…news is incurious about that I believe.
