¡Martes por la tarde, enlaces mexicanos!

This week is shaping up to be a doozy for me.  Wife is about to go out of town and one of my refrigerators took a dump so I have little space for beer.

No, its not like that.

Whatever, here are some links!

 

¡Mover! ¡El policía está detrás de mí!

Why?  Why God?  WHY????  How can you let them black bag Norm?

Truck plows into traffic in Ciudad Mexico.  Don’t worry Mexico City isn’t pregnant.

I wonder if Mexican Boomers tie their entire cultural allegiance and incessantly agonize over this issue, dragging every other generation into the fight in spite of it being settled decades ago like their American counterparts?  Wait no, they “settled” it last week.

Okay world bank.  Its debt threatening economic recovery.

“I think it’s important to tell this story from a morally ambiguous perspective,”  Oh….good thinking.  I bet it will be as well received as Evita where Madonna sings and leaves us with a warm fuzzy feeling when we think of Juan Perón.  Fuck you very much Andrew Lloyd Weber.

Protests in El Salvador over Bitcoin!  Oh wait, they must be new to crypto.  The price fluctuates…constantly.

Protests in Brazil to impeach Brazilian Trump!  Well, you could call it that.  This is worthy of the Ricky Ricardo laugh.

An absolute shithead died in Peru. The world weeps for having lost an absolute shithead you never heard of.

Here’s a good tune.  Have a great day.

    Can’t they just print more money? Worked for Venezuela.

    Norm was one if the very few comics who consistently made me laugh. He had balls of brass and no fucks to give.

    • OBJ FRANKELSON

      He was one of the last comics that *actually* thumbed their nose at power, and booped their nose on the way out.

      This stands in stark contrast with the current crop of “Orange Man Bad!” *rimshot* hacks.

    I still think Bitcoin is going to get imploded by the Feds just to break an entire country and create an argument against crypto.

    If I were a Fed official looking to shore up the dollar, it’s what I would do. No competitors can be allowed to exist.

    • R C Dean

      Could be. Depends on how many nomenklatura are using BTC for their graft and moneylaundering.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Precisely.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Interesting question.

        I bet the Panamanians have an answer.

      • wdalasio

        I doubt that many. What we’ve learned in the last decade or so is that if the political class takes their graft/protection money out in the open, it’ll usually be excused by the authorities and the media. Paper bags full of cash or secretive bitcoin transfers are now low rent.

    At 63, she confidently showed off her super toned butt and legs in a one-piece thong bustier and matching cap that she rocked with heels and black fishnet stockings.

    I didn’t know the nazi look was back in style.

      Goes with the politics.

    • Tonio

      I’ve seen that look before, somewhere.

        Huh.

        Back in the day, One Yellow Rabbit theatre company in Calgary did a play for The Fringe every summer called “Ilsa, Queen of the Nazi Love Camps.” Let’s just say it was one of their classics, and included special guest appearances from one of our local “the Holocaust is a lie” types, name of Jim Keegstra (actor playing him, of course). Hilarious, if flawed.

    “Protests in Brazil to impeach Brazilian Trump! Well, you could call it that. This is worthy of the Ricky Ricardo laugh.”

    But now could you not want Lula back? At least he knew that white blue eyed guys cause all the world’s problems and he left enough cash in Petrobras that Dilma still had something to steal. I call that brilliance and generosity!

    • Enough About Palin

      I worked for an energy company that took a few years to cut a deal with Petrobras that would work in our favor. Sold them all of out Argentine assets. At one point during the negotiations, Hugo Chavez sent us a free tanker of oil to power one of our Argentine generating plants. Free oil! How can you not like a guy like that? I of course thought of Joe from Lowell.

  6. Ghostpatzer

    “I still think Bitcoin is going to get imploded by the Feds just to break an entire country and create an argument against crypto.”

    • Hyperion

      The world’s governments government will adopt cryto as their very own. It’s the only way to manage a cashless society in which you control the finances lives of every person on the planet.

      • Ghostpatzer

        What is this cryto of which you speak? I smell an investment opportunity.

      • Hyperion

        Damn you! Crypto. This place has just went downhill since the Edit Fairy went away.

        And I was serious, that is exactly what will happen.

      • Ghostpatzer

        No shit, I suspect you are correct about crypto. Being a fat-fingered old fuck myself, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to jump on someone else for a change. So sorry.

      • Tonio

        This is all my fault. I sent his 9/11 manuscript back to him with so much red that it traumatized him and he’s taking it out on you.

      • Ghostpatzer

        Lol. If only typos were the issue with that.

      • Dr. Fronkensteen

        It would have to be a crypto they can inflate at will.

      • R C Dean

        I doubt they will use crypto for that. Its not untraceable, but its not nearly as easy as bank transactions. And, current-gen crypto can’t be summoned out of thin air with a stroke of the pen, unlike government fiat currencies. Crypto as it currently exists is a pimple on the ass of a gnat on an elephant – not really worth the effort to get rid of, from a monetary or social control standpoint.

        They’ll go cashless (and they will go cashless) the easy way – by simply stopping the issuance of new currency and requiring banks to return all currency received for destruction. I don’t even think they will need to prohibit businesses from accepting currency, although because they are asshole control freaks, they’ll probably do that, too.

        As with the collapse of the dollar, its not a question of whether, only when.

  9. The Other Kevin

    Getting a little nervous about our hockey kickoff meeting tomorrow. I can’t go because I’m still quarantined (and they want a negative test before I come back). Our major sponsor (the hospital) will have requirements for us to participate in their sports programs. I think they mentioned masks to be worn at practice, but we’ll find out if it’s vaccines (probably) or anything else.

    • Tonio

      Ugh, sorry to hear that. Perhaps start looking for another sponsor, JIC.

      • The Other Kevin

        They run the show, so that’s not going to happen. If push comes to shove, I can go back to my original team, or one of the other teams in Indiana. It would have to be pretty bad for me to do that, though.

    • Jerms

      Thats awful man. Sorry. Everyone feeling better?

      • The Other Kevin

        I’m pretty much back to normal, the Mrs. is still struggling. She’s more tired and a little feverish today, but the shortness of breath is going away.

    Mandates now! Mandates FOREVER!

    The White House’s chief medical adviser said the spread of the delta variant of COVID-19 is the fault of those who do not listen to experts such as himself.

    Fauci said part of the solution to reducing the virus’ spread is for Americans to rely on what he called “trusted public messengers who put aside political ideologies and convince people to get vaccinated.” …

    “The other way to do it is to have many, many more mandates,” Fauci said.

    “I know that rankles a lot of people,” he told Christensen, “but you’re going to see situations locally — I don’t think you’re going to see centrally derived mandates — but there are going to be mandates where colleges, universities, places of business, large corporations, they’re going to say, ‘If you want to come work for us, you’ve got to be vaccinated.’

    “I believe that’s going to turn this around, because I don’t think people are going to want to not go to work or not go to college or not go to a university. They’re going to do it.

    “You’d like to have them do it on a totally voluntary basis, but if that doesn’t work, you’ve got to go to the alternatives,” he said.

    Land of the something and home of the something.

    • Hyperion

      How else can you get people to do what you’ve decided is right for them? We tried nudging. Tanks are the answer. It’s always tanks. Once we flatten a few deplorables and put the pics in the NYT, they’ll come around. If you don’t believe me, just ask the right thinking people how good of an idea this is.

      • Animal

        Tanks aren’t that hard to deal with. A Molotov cocktail will do nicely. If you can lure them into a built-up area, they’re a piece of cake.

        Moving foxholes have always been overrated.

      • Hyperion

        Well, mister, we’re way ahead of you, we’re going to ban Molotov cocktails!

      • Compelled Speechless

        So now you’re going to take away people’s right to peacefully protest? You nazi!

      • Gustave Lytton

        Hah! That was my first thought too.

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        Top probably had them set up their shelter halves out at the wash rack.

      • Animal

        That was one neat little technical bit the old James Garner film Tank got right. He tries taking his old surplus M4 Sherman cross-country and, sure as hell, he throws a track.

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        I remember that film, I recall it not being terrible. Garner did a halfway decent job of playing a CSM, IIRC.

      • Animal

        Yeah, it’s a fun little popcorn film.

    • The Other Kevin

      “trusted public messengers who put aside political ideologies and convince people to get vaccinated.”

      He inadvertently identified the issue. People are tired of getting lied to by health officials, politicians, the media, and big tech. These “trusted public messengers” pissed away any credibility they had. Then they wonder “whycome nobody trust us?” And of course, the best way to repair their credibility is to act on people’s worst fears. “We won’t force you to get a vaccine” becomes “we need more ways to force you to get a vaccine!” “NOW whycome nobody trust us?”

    • Gustave Lytton

      Freedom to choose means choosing what I tell you to do.

    • R C Dean

      As soon as you find one, let me know.

      Never mind that mandates, central, government, or not, violate the most fundamental medical ethics. The utter silence of the medical community is horrifying? embarassing? They are all perfectly willing to participate in forcing an experimental treatment on unwilling people. The worst part – it never even crosses their minds that its wrong for them to do so.

      Enough people got the vaccine that if it was going to work, it would have by now.

      Ditto masks and lockdowns.

      • Zwak, jack off, all trades

        The masks and vax requirements and lockdowns have nothing to do with COVID, it is some weird fear that the world is “sick” and there is no way to cleanse it. That is the only logical thing I can come up with at this point. See AU and NZ and how much that is favored by the Covidiots. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a strong correlation with supporters of all three of those and earth firster types.

        It ain’t logically, that’s for sure.

      • Zwak, jack off, all trades

        logical. Sigh.

    • Enough About Palin

      Here in Minneapolis, which during the pandemic last year saw every single human face masked, very few people are now wearing masks. Far less than 5%. Outie of the Twin Cities, it’s 0%. The Government can try to keep up the scare-mongering, but from what I am seeing, in practical terms it’s no longer working. Maybe for the die-hard sheep, but that’s it.

    “This isn’t about freedom. This isn’t about choice.”

    “It is true that young, healthy people have less of a chance of getting severely involved in the sense of getting infected and have a severe outcome. There’s no doubt about that,” Fauci outlined. “But if you look across the country and you look at the hospitals, you see there are plenty of young people who get severely ill. We’ve had 650,000 deaths in the United States. So although the odds are in your favor, you are not completely exempt from getting seriously ill. That’s one component. The other component that, in many respects, is equally important is that it isn’t all about you. If you get infected, even if you don’t have any symptoms, it is likely that you will pass the virus on to someone else who might pass it on to someone else who might have a severe outcome, leading to hospitalization and even death. So you’ve got a look at it that you’re not in a vacuum. You’re part of society. And do you want to be part of the component that propagates the virus and propagates the outbreak? Or do you want to be part of the solution?”

    Is the solution final?

    • Hyperion

      Damn right. Guns are bad, and free speech is dangerous. This isn’t about freedom, it’s about keeping people safe. Fauci 2024 for world emperor!

    • Ghostpatzer

      If you get infected, even if you don’t have any symptoms, it is likely that you will pass the virus on to someone else who might pass it on to someone else who might have a severe outcome, leading to hospitalization and even death

      Setting aside the real issue for the moment, how does getting vaxxed change this? Are the reports of breakthrough cases fake news?

      • R C Dean

        even if you don’t have any symptoms, it is likely that you will pass the virus on to someone else

        I’m pretty sure that’s false. Asymptomatic means low viral load. Low viral load means not (very) infectious.

        It certainly can’t be shown to be true, because there is no way to know if someone who is asymptomatic infected anyone – you don’t even know that they have the virus, so you can’t trace any infection back to them.

      • The Other Kevin

        I think we discussed this a little yesterday. Vaccination does NOT prevent you from getting the virus and passing it on. It only reduces YOUR symptoms. As more people become vaccinated, more people will have milder or no symptoms. Symptoms which will be more frequently ignored.

      • Enough About Palin

        Vaccinated people force the virus to mutate, much like what the over-use of antibiotics did to what are now killer bacteria. Getting a vaccination is both selfish and evil as well as anti-science.

      • Tonio

        How likely, exactly. And does that apply to vaxed people (either spreading or being infected)?

      You’re part of society. And do you want to be part of the component that propagates the virus and propagates the outbreak builds true herd immunity?

      Or do you want to be one of the people hooked on a never-ending series of boosters in response to never-ending variants that break through the weak/partial immunity of targeted protein-spike injections?

    • Bobarian LMD

      If you get infected, even if you don’t have any symptoms, it is likely that you will pass the virus on to someone else who might pass it on to someone else who might have a severe outcome, leading to hospitalization and even death.

      Does the vaccine now prevent you from getting or spreading the virus?

      Kindly go piss up a rope. You fucking hack.

  13. KSuellington

    Guzman was indeed a world class piece of shit and the Sendero Luminoso were murderous commie thugs. He thought Mao was too kind and modeled himself on Pol Pot. In the latter 90’s I was traveling solo across South America and once passed through a town called Piura. At the time that area was an SL stronghold. At one point on the outskirts of that town looking for a ride I thought I was going to get beat up and robbed or worse. The looks I was getting I can remember to this day. A couple years later I was having beers with a fellow gringo in Brazil and we were talking about bad experiences in SouthAm. He told me that a year before I was in Piura he had been pulled off a bus there by SL and had a rifle to his head for ten minutes. He was sure he was gonna get a bullet when another group of them came and called off the first. He only lost his possessions that day. They were famous for not giving a fuck and kidnapping gringos for ransom sometimes.

    • Tonio

      Thank you for this.

      • KSuellington

    Despite the utter chaos from the multiple collisions and the assault, there were no fatal injuries. It was nonetheless a bad scene as the truck forced its way through traffic, its cab bucking and straining against cars and pinning down one taxi driver between the trailer and yet another car.

    No fatalities. Impressive.

    The government response to the pandemic destroyed tens of millions of jobs from Mexico to Argentina while also leaving company balance sheets more fragile.

    I fixed the article. Also, who could possibly have foreseen this?

    Rally at the State House over vaccine mandates

    A New Hampshire House Republican leadership event Tuesday protesting the latest COVID-19 vaccine mandates of President Joe Biden erupted into a shouting match from a large crowd of citizens angry that state officials have failed to do enough.
    House Speaker Sherman Packard, R-Londonderry, hosted the press conference outside the State House to show a united GOP front against Biden’s executive orders, which will require vaccines or mandated COVID-19 testing for up to 80 million Americans.
    “We will not comply,” Packard said to the loud cheers of a crowd of more than 400 who turned out.
    The House leader chastised the state’s all-Democratic congressional delegation for failing to oppose the new mandates, adding that “all of them have to go.”
    “This is unacceptable from an administration that has no idea what the hell they are doing,” Packard said.
    But shortly after Packard began his prepared remarks, protesters shouted “Where is Sununu?” and later “We can’t wait.”
    Packard said Sununu and GOP legislative leaders are looking into “all possibilities” for how to fight back against these mandates.
    “We are doing what we can. This is a federal mandate, this is not from us and we are trying to help you,” Packard implored.
    When the shouting continued, Packard said, “You are yelling at the wrong people.”

    Landlord blames eviction moratorium for kids living in deplorable conditions. Parents should be blamed too.

    The COVID-19 eviction moratorium allowed five young children to live and suffer in a fly and waste-ridden Manchester apartment longer than they would have otherwise, the landlord said Monday.

    Laurie Grassett, whose family owns McLaurin Enterprise, said she had wanted to evict the three tenants, now charged with child endangerment and reckless conduct, for nonpayment of rent.

    But the moratorium — which had been in effect for nearly a year until thrown out in August by the U.S. Supreme Court — prevented her from going forward, she said.

    Bedford, NH gets a Democrat state rep. Bedford is pretty solid Republican town.

    A relieved and excited Catherine Rombeau will head to the State House as Bedford’s newest representative after securing her win during a recount on Monday.
    “I am thankful to Bedford voters for engaging with me and trusting me to be their representative in Concord this term,” Rombeau said a few hours after she was, once again, announced as the winner of last week’s special election to fill the vacant House seat.
    After the recount, Rombeau, a Democrat, picked up three votes, while her Republican opponent, Linda Rea Camarota, lost one vote from what local officials had initially declared after the Sept. 7 election.
    The new tally from the recount was 2,328 votes for Rombeau and 2,287 for Camarota — a new margin of victory with 41 votes as opposed to the initial difference of 37 votes.

    Op-ed on Covid exit strategy from NH Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut

    American research, technology, and advancements in healthcare are amazing examples of brilliance, innovation, and capacity. The speed at which our healthcare experts rolled out vaccines for COVID-19 is an exemplar that will be studied and admired for decades to come. The world owes these experts a debt that cannot be repaid.

    It is also a well-known fact that our healthcare system is mostly oriented to respond to symptoms, illnesses, and disease care more than building health and wellness. This focus becomes evident when we consider the president’s recently announced vaccine strategy. It’s not an anti-vaccination statement to say, vaccinating Americans will not make Americans healthy.

    Background on Frank Edelblut: Seven kids, all homeschooled. When Sununu ran for his first term, Edelblut was a primary challenger. Edelblut came close (about 900 votes) of beating Sununu. The next challenger was about 11,000 votes behind Edelblut. There is talk that Edelblut is considering another run for governor in 2022.

    Keene, NH Jan. 6th suspect opts for plea deal

    The Keene man who posted selfies from the United States Capitol Building during the Jan. 6 riots will enter into a plea agreement, according to information filed in court.

    Jason Riddle, 33, shared photos and videos on his social media accounts of his actions inside the Capitol as his fellow rioters swarmed through the building. Some were in military garb, reportedly looking to kill members of Congress and Vice President Mike Pence, according to court documents.

    Riddle, who is seen in the photos and videos taking a bottle of wine, also allegedly stole a Senate Procedure manual and sold it on eBay for $40. He is charged with federal counts of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, theft of government property, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

    Seen at the gym (since I won’t be around for GlibFit):

    Today was a day I worked with the trainer. When we got started, the one turf area had weights piled up and stuff strewn about the place. The trainer said, “I really hate how people have been leaving stuff all over the gym lately.” I haven’t seen a mess like that in the gym in a while.

    After our scheduled time, I went on to finish my training for the day. RDLs at the power rack area with baby weights to work on range of motion and bracing in hopes that one day my back will be good enough to handle normal RDLs with normal weights. Two good looking women came up to claim power racks.

    One, a gorgeous tall blonde, started doing cleans with front squats. She maxed at 135 lbs, then went on to just plain front squats. She maxed her front squats somewhere in the vicinity of 200 lbs for six reps. She went to push presses.

    The other was a cute younger lass that squatted ass to grass with 115 lbs, except she had a butt wink. She’s going to wreck her back if she doesn’t fix that.

    After I moved on to other work, I saw some guy curling in the power rack area. Sad.

    On the drive home, I saw a car with NH personalized plates which read “RONPAUL”. The car had a bumper sticker which read, “RON PAUL WAS RIGHT!”.

    I’ve seen first hand seen what they do in this scenario. They’ll force you to wear a mask every day and submit to a test at least once a week for punishment. Only they can’t do it if you work from home.

    At this point, civil disobedience is mandatory to save the Republic.

    Speaking from experience, only partially, maybe 30%. Mark Levine is a douchenozzle. But, in a way, that’s expected. He’s a NYC Democratic politician. Probably moreso, it was the people of NYC who elected Levine who convinced me it wasn’t worth it. It was the people who’d spent the last twenty years beating their chests to me about how they were such non-conformists and promptly revealed themselves as would-be Stasi agents. It was the people who preened about their intellectual sophistication, only to respond “LALALALALA!! I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!!” when you pointed out the flaws in the lockdown argument. It was the people who said nothing, or even gave the written equivalent of a smirk after New York’s politicians spit on the helping hand they’d been given, after begging like bitches for the rest of the country to bail the city out. It was reading somebody pat themselves on the back about how compassionate they are not two Facebook posts after wishing that people who disagreed with them would die. You realize that, as atrocious as Mark Levine is, he’s a very real representation of the people of that city. Not all of them, of course. But, probably a majority.

    And that’s the wake-up call. You add to that the fact that all the things that NYC bragged about were shut down. And then you realize, wait, when was the last time you went to those museums? What was the last Broadway show you saw? You went to the opera, when? How often did you actually ever feel the need to go out for Mongolian barbecue at two in the morning? And you’re paying how much to live where? And your taxes? And, what, you’re working from home? And not really feeling any reduction in productivity?

      “And, what, you’re working from home? And not really feeling any reduction in productivity?”

      I feel a very good increase in productivity, just speaking for myself. No commute time, way less stress. Way better environment in a quiet place instead of a very disruptive noisy office. I cannot even think of a single reason why working from home is not way more productive.

      Pretty much agree with you on the rest of it. And I know people who identify as liberals who refuse to acknowledge that there is even a minute difference between self identified ‘liberals’ and the democrat party of today and what both of those both were in the 1960s.
