Survey says I’m a Paleolibertarian bitches. That means I eat “L”ibertarians for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Soave tastes a little fruity. Wait a minute, that doesn’t sound quite right…
This First, as always, is up to the top of the line specifications that the Glibs have come to expect from the FOAF.
You know, I can make a case that necrophilia is really a victimless crime, unless we are viewing the body as someone’s property after death. It is an inanimate object. If fucking inanimate objects is a crime, most of you reading this would be doing hard time.
I will go on record as having never fucked your mother.
Once they’re dead, they are no one’s mother. They are truly just a mass of cells resembling the person you used to know until they decay into nothing.
Who am I to judge what seconders do with their penises?
*golf clap*
The surviving family members are the victims.
Soooo…orphans?
Under what principle? Is the body their desecrated property?
Beyond necrophilia, I’d extend this to the ridiculous notion that desecration of bodies during war is some grave crime. You just killed the guy, but don’t you dare pose in a picture celebrating the death of that terrorist goat fucker. Or piss on it.
When I die, my body should be part of my estate. (This is also why the decedent’s estate should be paid for organ “donation”.) Destroying other parts of my estate without the approval of the heritors should technically be a crime.
How about when your wife/mother/father dies, the rest of us piss on them at the funeral?
Then it’s property. Which makes it a property crime. Hardly how it’s treated, especially when they start throwing out war crime charges because you pissed on a terrorists corpse.
Speaking ill of the dead tends to offend family members, as well. Well, you know, tough shit, that’s not a crime.
Maybe it’s not rational but I’d strongly object to having my sister’s corpse raped and drawn and quartered, even though she’s not “there”. I’d actually be willing to sacrifice myself on that hill.
Since I’ve been delving into a ton of medieval history, it strikes me that one of the big deals is to disfigure the “losers” by cutting off noses, gouging eyes, etc. Those had living victims.
But desecration of a corpse is awful too. Hell, the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Iliad are about the deep need for a “proper” burial.
Well, speaking to evolutionary psychology, or perhaps anthropology and sociology, the treatment of the dead is among the first signs of civilized behavior.
A relevant passage in The Illiad is Achilles dragging Hector’s body behind his chariot, and the gods tending to Hector each night so that his body didn’t decay. The rest of the Greeks got a little freaked out that Achilles was about to bring the wrath of all the gods down on them. The gods then deliver Priam to Achilles tent to recover Hector’s body and Achilles himself gets the message – allow a proper funeral.
I recall in my college freshman year when I took “World Regional Anthropology” that it was a major turning point when they had hard evidence that Neanderthal buried their dead with flowers. No particular use for them, just reverence and affection.
(Note: I took World Regional Anthropology so that I could avoid “Sociology 101” and still satisfy the requirements.
That ended up being my favorite class.

Yaaas. I love that song.
Reminds me of listening to Mom and Dad’s records as a kid.
This song also immediately came to mind.
But at night night it’s a different world,
Go out and find a girl…
Another great song.
Heh it seems so impossibly old but then I realize the song was only around ten years old when it came to my attention as a child.
Today I routinely listen to music that’s 30 or 40 years old and it doesn’t seem “impossibly old” at all.
I remember listening to the “oldies” (bossman’s rules) at the gas station I worked at when I was 15-ish. They played stuff like the two links above, Beach Boys, etc. I thought it was soooo old and lame. 20-ish year old music. Now, like you say, I listen to much older music than that (occasionally including those very same “oldies”)
I will be watching You Won’t Be Alone tonight. But I fear that the movie will miss the mark on what it means to be human. The most human of things is to try and be First. Being First makes you, in fact, more human than human. It allows you to achieve a level of humanity that few will ever know.
I’m triple raw dogging it tonight.
That looks pretty good. Let me know what you think.
More human than a human

From your comments above, I assume that means you are fucking a corpse, beer bottle, and your hand.
The government recently announced that it would raise fuel prices for the third time this year.
Ah, Tunisians expected govt to deliver them fuel cheaply and efficiently. Then they are getting what they and every other moron in human history deserves – a lesson in what govt can and cannot do.
Haven’t been checking recently, but indonesias been subsidizing gas for decades – and there tend to be riots when prices change significantly – esp when it causes price of public [private] transportation to go up.
Uhhh…
From the sub-header, I have to ask why regular people shouldn’t be able to have “encrypted, military grade chatrooms” too.
Also from the Daily Star, there’s a link to this story: Dog attack victim who had lips chewed off jokes he’ll ask surgeons for a penis extension
I saw that, but I couldn’t figure out the connection between the guy’s penis and his lips.

Watched The Northman this afternoon. Solid flick by Eggers – dark but surprisingly less dark/disturbing than I was expecting based on The Lighthouse.
Decided it would be more worth my time than dr strange this week.
Some reviews mentioned the Hamlet association and that definitely colored my viewing. Also, saw Critical Drinker had a positive review posted – but haven’t watched yet.
Critical Drinker spoils the shit out of movies in his reviews. I’d don’t mind the occasional watch, but I don’t really need a 6 minute recap of the entire plot of a movie before getting to a guys opinion of the thing.

Another bad day. Not like yesterday, but still. Over/under on the Tundra line was an unimpressive 6/17. The average score was a 32.3. The Scrabble score for today was 38; maybe there is some correlation there after all?
And I won. With a 20. The bossman didn’t give me the key to all the past weeks, so I couldn’t go back and see when the last time a 20 was good enough to win. Seems like the winner always scores in the teens. After finishing second last week with first a 19 and then an 18, I’ll take the win.
The big news is kinnath’s no-chump streak has come to an end. That leaves Sean and The Hyperbole at 25. Whiz and Tundra are waiting for them to fall with a 22 and 21, respectively.

I’m currently on the west coast at a family reunion.
Oregon?
Spud, is that Mendocino area? Sure looks like it.

Does “Howdy” count?
I… never considered where that came from. ?
PS. No, that doesn’t count.

“How are you doing today?”
I don’t know if that is what works for the ladies. But, I have got a few hits,
That doesn’t count either.
I’m talking about when you first meet somebody.
The reason I ask is because I’m watching a lot of olde teevee and everybody said it then but nobody seems to say it today.
I don’t think I’ve *ever* used it. And I’m no spring chicken.
I don’t recall ever hearing it in real life.
I’m vowing to myself to use it the next time I meet somebody.
And thankfully, it’s not fraught with danger like some of the other old formulae – like anything that presumes sex or marital status….
Please be sure to say it with the utmost elegance.
Hopefully you’ll find Another Like You.
Just now. The cat did not respond.
LOL I just recalled an episode of I Love Lucy where Lucy and Ethel take diction lessons, and Ethel is like “howja do” and the instructor recoils in horror.
I can’t say for certain, but I’m sure within the last couple years. I know “nice to meet you” has probably supplanted it, but I’m sure it hasn’t gone completely away.

Bro – I’ve been musing on your comments on the necrophilia link, as well as the “why and wherefore” of it as a crime that’ll get you tossed in prison. I think the questions you raise are worth more than mere dismissal.
As someone pointed out, those questions are an important part of the Iliad. I would add that they’re also the central theme and tension of Sophocles’ classic tragedy “Antigone.”
Creon takes the position on behalf of the state that being a traitor – rebellion against the City-state – is sufficient to forfeit the cultural “right” to proper burial; Antigone takes the position that proper burial is a “right” that goes beyond whatever laws a State makes.
You’ve also relied on a case I’m more than passingly familiar with – the Marines who pissed on the Taliban bodies they had just killed. I was one of the Reserve Regional Defense Counsel when those cases came in , although I wasn’t detailed to any, I’m fairly familiar.
First, it’s worth asking if pissing on a dead enemy killed in battle is sufficiently different to the crime linked to render them incomparable; a difference in kind, not merely one of degree.
Second, it implicates the legal notions of acts that are malum in se and those that are merely malum prohibitum.
I don’t want to post a wall of text, but I did want to at least give what you said the consideration I think it deserves. How we treat the dead may be, as someone else has suggested, something more than just a custom. It may be tied to something deeper… “The immutable unwritten laws of Heaven” (malum in se) vice something simply conjured up by a legislative fiat, like the drinking age. It seems you believe it’s the latter, and perhaps that derives from your view that the Marines in that case got screwed (they did, IMO), but I don’t think the guy in the link did. YMMV.
One man’s not-fully-formed thoughts.
FYI, I appreciate your post on this.
#metoo
I think the treatment of the dead can raise all sorts of interesting questions. Legitimately. Though most people never go past the basic impulse or reaction. There definitely seems to be something innate in humans that calls for respecting corpses, whatever that may be. The exact customs vary, but I’m unaware of any culture that just says fuck it and throws their bodies into mass graves (when that is done, it is universally seen as atypical and in many cases can signify that the person doing the burying views the dead as, well, subhuman in some way).
From a libertarian perspective, what is respect for a corpse grounded in? Are we just falling back on human nature? Property rights of some kind? Is an extension of freedom of belief? Is it about the living, the dead, or both?
Then we get the war aspect of it. Some bureaucrats sitting inn the comfy confines of an office deem a behavior immoral on a battlefield, like what those Marines did. There is no real intellectual argument, no real sense of understanding of what would bring about those actions from the Marines. Even though most sane people would tell you that the bodies in question were pretty awful human beings in life, we are going to ruin some of our own because they disrespected their bodies? They likely weren’t ever going to be returned to their families for proper burials. You could argue that in a war setting, disrespecting the burial customs of your highly religious enemies serves a useful purpose. Or maybe it’s a propaganda victory for the enemy. Maybe you could make an argument that the behavior should be punished because of that.
I’d compare the pissing on the bodies of terrorists to the treatment the Obama administration gave Osama’s corpse. They went out of their way to be as respectful as possible to the body of a mass murderer so as not to offend Muslim sensibilities. To me, that’s more disrespectful to his direct victims and the people who suffered indirectly from his actions.
Maybe the dead should only be treated with honor when they deserve it. Which kind of goes back to that innate aspect we seem to have where there’s almost something mystical about a corpse and how we treat it.
The criminality for abuse of enemy corpses isn’t absolute. There are plenty of documented cases where soldiers, including US infantry, have used the dead as a means of cover and concealment in heightened firefights or battles. There is no opprobrium attached to running them over with armored vehicles to mark a clear path through mines.
Maybe, and I am thinking out loud, it is to remind infantry that they are human after the battle is done. The military takes great pains to paint the enemy as “the other” and not fully human. You can’t have your combat fighters wondering if the enemy has families that will miss them, laugh and love like us etc. The enemy must be targets to be destroyed. But once the battle is over in order to keep your fighters human must you put this arbitrary prohibition in place?
Plenty of cultures maimed the dead. Celts with their collection of heads. Plenty of medieval era cultures decapitating the dead and stacking skulls. Plains indians with scalping and cutting of the dead to hinder them in the next life. (A Penis just don’t find themselves in the dead owners mouth on their own.) US tankers wiring Japanese skulls on top of the tracks. Both sides in WWi and WWII using corpses to boobytrap, mark and map. Various communist groups making new unit members bayonet the bodies of “traitors” post execution. The Finns taking the frozen bodies of Soviet soldiers and standing them like scarecrows to demoralize the remaining Red Army. The list is nearly endless. So was the prosecution of the Marines an overreaction to protect the “normies” from the brutal realities of what the Nation was asking the military to do? If I was sitting on Court Martial panel I would be hard to convince to vote to convict.
Infantry warfare is brutal and it always has been and will always be.
Not for the squeamish. The reality of the plains indian warrior culture.

I am not joking. This is NSFW.
I’m a cynic. I think it was political. It’s about something that offended the sensibilities of the Mandarin class that runs this country and likes to be detached from the realities of the sorts of people their foreign policy depends on. Then it’s wrapped in a superficial layer of bullshit about not wanting to offend Muslims and international law. The political creatures who rise in the ranks in the military go along because it’s in their best interests and pay lip service to notions of professionalism.

@Spud. Thanks for that tune. I love it. I’ll be sharing that one.
I’m a little surprised it took this long for someone to mention it. I actually laughed out loud to it.
I just started watching Magnum Force. The opening scene with a gun pointed toward the camera, with the voice over, followed by the gun being fired was pretty jarring considering what just happened with Alec Baldwin.
The next scene with Callahan playing pilot is worth the price of admission on its own.

And yet, despite that crazy conservative shooting a gun in practically every film he starred in, Clint never actually killed someone.

Priest is allowed to be inducted into the “Rock and Roll” HoF this year! Along with Eminem, Dolly Parton, Carley, Simon, and Lionel Ritchie! So inclusive!
Odds are they won’t get inducted because the HOF hates metal. As for the other nominees, JFC. It’s the RNR HOF. They have completely lost sight of their mission.
Long time ago.
Oh shit! I thought they got denied but the shitty article I went to said they were in. So yeah, in addition to the “rock”: acts I listed above, Duran Duran, Pat Benatar, and the Eurythmics are apparently more deserving than Priest.
When Dolly was nominated, she came out and said she didn’t want it because she wasn’t a rock artist. And then they voted her in anyway, and now she says she’ll accept. Every May my poor wife has to her me vent about why the current year’s inductees are bullshit. Every. Single. Year. Just call it the Pop Music HoF.
As for their mission, whatever it is it has nothing to do with Rock. Johnny Cash and the Bee Gee’s were early inductees, for goodness sake. The Supremes, ABBA, Donna Summer, Cat Stevens, NWA, Tupac, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Jay Z., The entire thing is a fucking train wreck.
I’m willing to take a broad view of RNR. I’m glad Pat Benatar and Eurythmics are in. The rest aren’t even close. Not inducting Judas Priest on their first ballot is just insulting to the fans. See also Iron Maiden.

I hope that’s a euphemism for oral.
Regarding the respect for the dead discussion, I think you can make the case that even though the person may not be there, as a libertarian you respect what was. The non-aggression principle is an acknowledgement of the freedom given to everyone by a Creator or nature, however you see fit. Defiling a corpse could be something of a violation of that. Yes, the corpse may not know. Or it might, Who really knows? One can take a purely utilitarian point of view by saying the corpse us another object. I would rather take the view that it was a human who had all the rights we believe anyone should have, especially dignity. It does not require any effort to treat the dead with respect. They may be in Hell and receiving what they deserve…or they may be in heaven and beyond something as simple as political affiliations. It costs me nothing to give respect either way. In some ways it’s almost an act of aggression to defile a corpse unless you believe there’s nothing that comes after.
Too many beers to make a coherent argument, it probably boils down to atheism vs everyone else.
Took the Mustang for a spin. I usually just do track days anymore, but sometimes it’s fun to let loose on the streets and get a little wild. Reminds me of when I bought it ten years ago. Working on improving the cooling capacity and wondering when I’ll win the lottery so I can swap the engine for a tasty new 5.2L Aluminator (from the GT350) and convert to a short-long arm suspension and cambered rear axle.
In case anyone cares where my moniker came from.
I thought your moniker came from your time in the service.
I’m not that cool. I bought my Mustang when I got on active duty. I didn’t know about the connection to service until someone pointed it out here or TOS.

SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE !!!!
Well said, sir.
I dunno if people desecrating a grave should be a felony, but I sure as shit hope the majority of people want to pay respects. Not for the dead guy, but for his family.
Sorry for early (EVIL) Quordle — have to hit the road back to CA. Have a good Mother’s Day glibs!

TALL SABBATH CANS (of tea for me)
And since it’s Mother’s Day…
Good morning!
Mike: if you want an even more ridiculous numbers game, see the first one here
Their brains work much quicker than mine. Also, was cool that the (very) pretty girl dealing cards bested them.
Good morning, Ted’S, homey, & Teh Hypo! It’s a beautiful, sunny morning here in SW OH (as homey knows,) but it’s only 43° F (as he probably also knows.) No Tranquility Base for now. At least my staying inside will make the Little Black Cat happy. ?
Kinda chilly but according to Fried Eggs, its finally warming this week. You’ll get to use your porch.
We had some aigs for breakfast. Topped with some salsa.
I put on some of Sean’s Special Pepper Powder, the 2021 vintage. That shit is no joke.
If this year is another bumper crop, maybe I’ll share some with Glibs pepperheads.
Mornin y’all
Folk still here?
