I have to be honest here, I was planning to phone it in this week, but then I read something that made me question how a segment of society that worships Clint Eastwood turned into such wimps.
This is my review of Crazy Legs Hoppy Red Blend:
The right: Feminization of culture forced men into second class status at the detriment Western, Christian society at large.
Also the right: California wants to teach children to worship Aztec gods is an outrage at the detriment to Western, Christian society at large.
The curriculum recommends that teachers lead their students in a series of indigenous songs, chants, and affirmations, including the “In Lak Ech Affirmation,” which appeals directly to the Aztec gods. Students first clap and chant to the god Tezkatlipoka—whom the Aztecs traditionally worshipped with human sacrifice and cannibalism—asking him for the power to be “warriors” for “social justice.” Next, the students chant to the gods Quetzalcoatl, Huitzilopochtli, and Xipe Totek, seeking “healing epistemologies” and “a revolutionary spirit.” Huitzilopochtli, in particular, is the Aztec deity of war and inspired hundreds of thousands of human sacrifices during Aztec rule. Finally, the chant comes to a climax with a request for “liberation, transformation, [and] decolonization,” after which students shout “Panche beh! Panche beh!” in pursuit of ultimate “critical consciousness.”
The chants have a clear implication: the displacement of the Christian god, which is said to be an extension of white supremacist oppression, and the restoration of the indigenous gods to their rightful place in the social justice cosmology. It is, in a philosophical sense, a revenge of the gods.
SLD: I would like to point out nowhere in this article is it saying the curriculum is instructing students to perform human sacrifice. Which is a damn shame because a number of them would target teachers, but human sacrifice is technically unethical.
Once again, it appears the right is so terrible at culture war they can’t even see where their supposed enemies left an opening to exploit. At the risk of saying something unpopular, I am going to go ahead and ask if Western Culture is so great, how is it that we are in this mess anyways? Either the culture failed to withstand the onslaught of stupid ideas or it finds these stupid ideas to be reasonable.
A solution to the problem of emasculated males promoting collectivist ideals while drinking their hard seltzer might be allow this curriculum. Consider the counterfactual to the left’s reaction to a similar curriculum around Nordic culture. The complaint would be alt-right’s obsession with Norse symbolism, mythology, and how the actual Nazi’s incorporated it into their propaganda.
They wouldn’t be totally wrong either. Ancient Nordic cultures glorified battle and promoted the idea men should be warriors. They plundered, pillaged, and enslaved enough women the joke about British women is the Vikings took all the good looking ones home. This was fairly common internet culture about ten years ago and it resulted in a bunch of knuckleheads overrunning the capitol and scaring the hell out of a few congressmen. Hey, that’s a good thing!
Maybe it will result in the 40% (whatever percentage you are willing to believe) of California’s Mexican population might get the idea they descended from a seriously ruthless, Godless civilization. A civilization that promoted the idea that men should be warriors. One that had no problem plundering, pillaging, and enslaving women—with the added bonus of sacrificing their enemies on an altar to their gods. After all the meme from the right now is your ancestors would be shooting already, yet the other meme from the right is for some reason you lost your guns in a boating accident. Perhaps I can interest you in a hard seltzer?
What is also terrible is the idea of wine with hops like a beer. I stopped drinking beer as is my usual practice this time of year and I wanted to save the others I pregamed for a better time. Wine is fine enough on its own for me to fail to truly appreciate but this is a new level of debauchery. I don’t even know what to think of Crazy Legs Hoppy Red Blend and it not being beer there will be no score.
Aztec religion never died. It’s just practiced by the cartels now.
Firsting on a late article is bad juju.
Does it feel like I cut out your heart?
Hopped mead is fairly common, and can range from really good to gods awful. I’ve also seen hopped tea, hop water, and hop flavored candy. Contrary to some opinions, some people do enjoy the taste of hops. The note of “natural hop flavors” on the can however concerns me. Most of the other hopped products will identify the hop varietal used, as they have different flavor profiles. That sounds like they just extracted the alpha acids to add bitterness.
I’ve had hopped cider. It worked.
Forgot to include those (as I’m not really a cider fan). When the girlfriend doesn’t pay attention to the menu and orders them, I’m usually forced to be the one who has to finish them.
Kids today, listening to their hippity-hop music and drinking their hoppity ciders, need to stay off my lawn.
Which is a damn shame because a number of them would target teachers, but human sacrifice is technically unethical.
I see more than a few students targeting unpopular fellow students instead of teachers.
They plundered, pillaged, and enslaved enough women the joke about British women is the Vikings took all the good looking ones home.
They missed the ones that led to Page 3 girls.
The part of Theology class during my senior year in Catholic high school where we studied other religions was not as interesting as what was presented here.
Hops in wine? I don’t know about that.
They missed the ones that led to Page 3 girls.
Those weren’t imported from Poland?
No, at least some were native. Samantha Fox was a native Brit who was Page 3 girl. I’d dig more, but I gotta run.
Loved Samantha. Had her poster on my wall when i was a young lad.
Not too long ago i saw an old picture of my room. Posters were Paulina Pariskova, Samantha Fox and NY Jet Mark Gastineau. Gastineau was in tight shorts and no shirt. And im not a Jet fan. Not sure what that means.
I award you no points!
Speaking of drinking from skulls; I once heard a story of a guy who noticed a friend of his drinking from a skull. “Whose skull is that?” he asked.
“Guy I had to kill,” his friend replied. “His name was Phillip.”
“So what are you drinking from that?”
“Vodka and orange juice.”
“You mean?” the first guy continued.
“Yes. It’s a Phillip’s head screwdriver.”
Boo.
~groan~
When my first husband sliced off the tip of his finger in a work accident, the doctors advised him to get a clean amputation right at the distal finger joint. (Apparently there’s a high complication rate for slicing through the middle of the bone so it’s better to lose slightly more finger and make a tidy wound.)
He opted to take the finger tip home and boiled* it to de flesh it.
He then gave it to me to make into jewelry, which I did. I left the necklace with him when we divorced.
(*for the record, boiling human smells like park.)
Pork, dammit, not park.
So we are the other, other white meat then.
We ain’t called “long pig” fer nuthin’.
depending on the part, the other PINK meat, amirite ?
It was an interesting moment trying to relate the smell of a park to the smell of boiling human flesh.
As a side note, if you ever have to make a house smell really good, boil fresh sliced oranges and cinnamon sticks.
Damn your nimble fingers!
Or at least the ones you still have left.
MacArthur Park, or industrial park?

OT: thank you, Thursday night late crew, for your prayers and well wishes on my husband’s saga.
(Recap: Rogue strep infection damaged aortic valves and lots of nerve and muscle tissue. Hub has PICC line for me to inject antibiotics daily for 4-5 more weeks. Then he got a deep vein thrombosis.)
Last night’s ER visit showed the arm pain to be due to a herniated disk in his neck. No heart attack, no new DVT, no infection. Just “Sucks to be you” and a jar full of Percocet.
Good enough for me!
Sorry. I’m hoping he pulls through. Herniated discs are no fun, and to have that on top of everything else? Ouch.
Ah, ‘splosives, I’m so sorry. We armchair psychiatrists didn’t help, did we? Good thing you took him to the ER.
For whatever it’s worth, I’ll send a little ask to the Big Man Upstairs and see if that does any good.
At least he got Percocet out of it.
(I think I called you HE the other day due to a brief absent-minded literalness; soz.)
Quite alright. I get HE snd HX in roughly equal measure.
Sorry to hear of husband’s troubles Ms. Hayek. Hope he gets some relief soon. Getting old sucks.
And yes, I know… the alternative is worse.
In extreme cases, the alternative isn’t worse.
But we aren’t there yet. His pride might be what motivates him to do PT and eat better. I stopped by the Montenegrin market in our neighborhood on the way from the ER this morning. He wanted to walk in without his walker and just lean on the shopping cart.
Small improvements will lead to more stretch goals. If he quits being a big baby.
In extreme cases, the alternative isn’t worse.
I was just think that when I looked at MS’ graphics above.
Hope he can ditch the walker soon. That would be a self esteem killer for me.
I’m counting on his pride/esteem to get him up and moving.
He keeps bleating about needing an electric wheelchair, which no doctor or nurse has recommended.
I’m not going to let him get one.
Yikes.
Sorry to hear about all the troubles. I hope things take a turn for the better soon.
Damn. Hope he feels better soon.
Ugh…what a saga indeed. I hope you get to relax soon.
Glad the good news is just a herniated disk. Some of us have a few of those. I hope he feels better and is able to move around with the better living through chemistry. Movement is always good.
I’ve got a horrible sweet tooth. My latest fix has been found through plum saki or plum wine. Not as sweet as Moscato and a bit smoother.
Cute illustration on the can, anyway.
Sadly, I know people that would by just for that. They’ll pay $4 a can doing it too.
*buy it
$4 sounds right. I bought it about a year ago out of curiosity, thought it was weird, and never reviewed it.
Found this on a local repo auction site I check out frequently. I’ve bought a couple of vehicles there before and some other miscellaneous crap but never any guns. I don’t know anything about the rifle or if it’s truly rare but some of you all may know what it is. I have no interest in bidding myself, just sharing the link.

Rare and highly collectable, but any Wal-Mart bolt gun made in the past ten years will shoot rings around it.
So what you’re saying is wallyworld bolt rifles are imprecise?
/Cathy Newman
I think the desirability of them was mostly due to it being A) semi auto, B) firing a rifle cartridge, and C) that rifle cartridge being the absolutely cheapest rifle cartridge you could get.
Rare in the US. If it goes for less than 3500 or so, its a steal.

Yeah, I texted to ask. Waiting to hear back – not sure if they were having issues with shipping or something else. They still have shirts in the store.

Don’t care what they say about the F-35, the F-22 is far superior and leads to a good night with my wife when we watch them
F-35 tries to do so many things it does no one thing well. Think a hugely more expensive F-4. The F-22 is a straight forward air superiority fighter and is said to that very well. They closed down production because it was even more expensive than the F-35. (USAF F-35A $148M ea. USAF F-22 $201M ea.)
Of course it was more expensive when they shut down production after 187 and didn’t let us offer sales to any allies.
I was working at Lock-Mart when they started cutting back on the orders. Wasn’t the initial production projection over 1,000?
Probably. Shutting down that early affects a lot of spare parts issues and costs too.
I think there was a reason we didn’t offer sales to outside the US because of its superiority in air-frame construction and materials.
As opposed to F35 which is a total cluster thanks to Turkey, etc.
Perhaps I can interest you in a hard seltzer?
The collectivizing of those of us with cultured taste who enjoy a hard seltzer every now and then is thick in this post. *belches loudly and scratches balls to prove manhood*

Those woke folks can’t keep their own talking points straight. They go from saying that even Christianity is too macho, so instead they offer us the worship of macho human-sacrifice gods?
I’ve dragged my feet about getting a “Real ID” when it’s been time for driver’s license renewal, mainly because I’d have to document not one but TWO last name changes. I don’t know how much longer I can put it off. While I’m pretty sure the dissolution papers from Mr. GT Mark 1 are around here somewhere, I’m certain I don’t have either of my marriage licenses.
In the process of doing some desktop archaeology, I came across the copy of my birth certificate I ordered a few years ago. (I would’ve sworn I had the original, but I can’t find it.) It occurred to me to wonder if it might be slightly easier to get a passport, and having a passport might make it slightly easier to get a Real ID when I can no longer avoid it. How hard is it to get a U.S. passport if you’ve changed last names since birth?
I’ll check back later. Off to take my obligatory Saturday afternoon nap.
Don’t worry, once you get your everything chip, you won’t have to bother with that ID stuff ever again. We’ll be able to tell if you’re a good thinker or wrong thinker at all times.
It’s terrifying because it’s true.
Exactly.
It wasn’t bad to get mine done in Minnesota or California, both of which held out over the RealID as long as they could. I have had four names.
With RealID, because supporting documentation is needed, not every DMV employee or location is equipped to do it, so check ahead of time which DMV sites are “qualified” to check your birth certificate and divorce/marriage paperwork.
Getting a passport is easy too, as long as you have the docs and don’t mind the wait.
I don’t see any option other than getting your marriage and divorce decrees. I’d recommend writing to the appropriate county clerk and getting three certified copies of each. Store one set offsite, at work or with your brother or other trusted relative.
If the only copy of your records go up in flames or floods at the courthouse, it will be a pain in the ass for the rest of your life.
No rush at all on the passport, as I have no plans to travel anywhere in the foreseeable future. The entire extent of my international travel to date has been a few hours in Ontario on a childhood family trip after my oldest sister checked out Michigan State. And I’d probably have to prove I’d had a COVID vax, which ain’t happening if I can help it.
Conveniently, both my marriages took place in my current county of residence, so I hope it wouldn’t be too much of a hassle to get copies of the licenses. Half afraid to find out that after 25 years, Tom T & I have never really been legal. 🙁
Passport sounds easier, and am not seeing the need for a Real ID once you have that. Re 3, don’t know but probably not difficult.
Officially, they shouldn’t need a state ID or driver’s license if you’ve already got the passport for travel.
However, my guess is that the RealID becomes the unofficial state ID since it shows state of residency. That way they can be sure they wind accidentally sell you a 9mm magazine that holds 17 bullets, for example.
We are one hairsbreadth away from Papers, Please.
I dunno but I found out long ago that it’s impossible to get one without a driver’s license even if you have the identificationally-identical ID card.
“The state ID card doesn’t have the same identification requirements.”
“Yes, it does.”
“Which state?”
“New York. The one we are currently in.”
“The state ID card doesn’t have the same identification requirements.”
*bangs head against wall*
In the 80s, my mom had trouble getting a passport because my dad’s last name is adopted. There is no official paperwork for his name change or his stepfather adopting him when my grandmother and his stepfather got married. Back then in Pennsylvania, no one gave enough of a shit.
I can’t imagine how much trouble you’d go through today for a situation like that, or your situation.
One of your links – Rod Dreher on the feminization of religion – had a quote from Kristof c. 2018:
“[A preacher lady named] Jones argues that over time women will come to dominate religious leadership and that this will powerfully reshape Americans’ understanding of God from stern father to more of a maternal healer and nurturer. “It changes the way you think geopolitically about the greatest truth,” she says.”
I would certainly hope that the people who have attitudes like that will promptly denounce Aztec worship as extra-specially bad.
Alternative possibility, the Aztec-god prayers in the curriculum are there to be sacrificed (ha!) in a “compromise” which keeps the other bad stuff.
But I have to be open to the possibility that if they keep saying extreme crap, it’s because they believe it for real.
Blast from the past.

[A preacher lady named] Jones argues that over time women will come to dominate religious leadership
Wouldn’t shock me. As I’ve written in articles in the past, western evangelical churches, especially in the American South, went feminine in the 1850s because the women were the only responsible ones and were expected to drag the men in their lives to church. The ramifications of that choice are still felt today, almost 200 years later.

*Unless you’re an intrepid Spaniard making pioneering conquests in the New World.
The curriculum recommends that teachers lead their students in a series of indigenous songs, chants, and affirmations, including the “In Lak Ech Affirmation,” which appeals directly to the Aztec gods
Sounds pretty prayer like. Maybe they should be made aware of this.
There will be no separation of church and state in the new leftopia, since the state IS the religion.
