I thought I was going to have another tough week to find something silly. Then I remembered it was an election year.
This is my review of Warka:
Looking around my neighborhood the telltale signs our are all out on 
the roadways. The team red primary in my congressional district is particularly funny, because both candidates were thrown in jail at one point. Plus, the challenger probably gave you a robocall or two regarding your auto warranty. I for one approve of their tactics of putting up roadsigns with their opponent’s mugshot. The other one is the gubernatorial primary between the MAGA Newslady and whoever the McCain machine decided to throw money behind. They actually got a drag queen to run an attack ad. These are totally serious people.
At any rate, the senate race is probably more consequential to everyone here. The team red race to get overwhelmed by out of state funded Mark Kelly ads where he sits in a bar or dicks around with his motorcycle is between Blake Masters, and some guy the McCain wing decided to throw money at. Masters though, is being branded as an errand boy of sorts funded by Peter Theil, but unlike most of the candidates in the race is actually from Arizona. Currently, he has a pretty sizable lead depending on which poll you choose to believe.
Naturally the hit pieces are starting to come out.
In 2012, according to an email shared with Mother Jones, Masters suggested that a former college roommate read a series of essays by Curtis Yarvin, who describes himself as America’s foremost absolute monarchist blogger, that called for replacing democracy with a monarchy headed by a CEO. The roommate had asked for ideas for a book club focused on issues like sustainability and overconsumption, but Masters thought that was a distraction from deeper problems like the “sustainability of sovereignty” and government spending.
A decade later, Masters talked up Yarvin’s plan to “RAGE,” or Retire All Government Employees, on the campaign trail. Yarvin recently gave Masters his first campaign contribution on record: the legal maximum of $5,800.
I don’t think citing an endorsement from Moldbug is going to produce the result they want.
At any rate, I found the rap video for your enjoyment. These are totally serious people.
Warka is a product of Poland. This is supposed to be a traditional Pilsner as stated on the bottle, however its a little bit off. Made in the proper manner except for a bit of sweetness at the backend. It winds up being more like a Helles and in all honesty if they happened to label it as such would pass for it just as well. All in all, this is pretty good. Warka: 2.3/5

It will freak out the AZ readers of Mother Jones, which won’t be Republican primary voters of course.
Can you vote in the primary without being a member of the party?
In OH, you don’t have to register as any particular party – you just ask at the polls for either the D or R ballot or, if applicable, an “issues only” ballot.
That is what is interesting to me. I keep hearing that primaries are being overrun by Dems trying to het the most radical R to win primaries where possible, since that person should be the easiest to defeat.
There was supposedly a coordinated effort among D’s and “mainline” Republicans in western Colorado to primary Lauren Boebert. Her opponent was an R who represents SW Colorado in the state Senate. Not sure how much coordination took place, but she skunked him 2-1 in the primary.
That said, that electorate is not quite as conservative as you might expect. That’s mostly to do with Pueblo and the Aspen area. ‘sloper can explain more.
“This ballot has issues, disqualified”
::crumples up “I Voted” sticker and shuffles away, hanging head::
PA only allows registered party members to vote in a party primary. I only vote in the general elections.
Which is as it should be, SLD about the state oughtn’t be administering primary elections.
I heard Kari Lake on Malice’s show yesterday. Malice is always polite with the guests on his show, but she was nauseatingly cliched.
Pretty hot, though.
I like pilsners, but it’s tough to find a really good one. I tried Great Divide’s the other day, but it was just ok.
I’ll give that one a try – thanks!
“but she was nauseatingly cliched”
I agree. She gave these careful canned answers, when most of Malice’s guests just shoot the shit.
Agreed. She reverts very quickly to newslady.
If you haven’t tried Scrimshaw Pilsner from North Coast Brewing it is well worth a drink. Sierra Nevada also puts out a good one, Nooner. I love the German and Czech ones, but they suffer quite a bit from the journey.
Yep, that’s why I have been seeking out domestic ones. Thanks, I’ll try your recs.
Scrimshaw is very good.
Thirded.
Ugh I don’t think Malice will ever have another political candidate on his show after that one. She claims to not be a politician but she learned quick. Malice couldn’t move her off message and the show was just an hour long political ad for her.
He would have Trump on in a heartbeat and it would be glorious.
But yeah, that was a waste of an hour. I liked her better when all I knew about her was that she trolled TMITE.
Warka Warka,
Nothing beats Urquell for pilsners
having one as we speak despite the heat
Cheers pie!
OT: My new favorite twitter
Because of posts like this.
Definitely looking forward to a pilsner when I get to New Mexico. Swapped locations and heading to NM before Colorado. Going to NM from Dallas, TX is such a long drive.
RJ- Be sure to look me up when you get to NM. I’ll buy.
Well, heck! I just got to Carlsbad. I will reach out in the forum.
Forum message sent.
At any rate, I found the rap video for your enjoyment. These are totally serious people.
Back in 2018, the entirety of the sitting TEAM RED Congressman’s campaign in my district (John Faso) was that his opponent (Antonio Delgado) made an anti-cop rap video. We see where it got both of them.

To be fair, Plzeň isn’t in Poland.
Czechs, its always them
Czechs out.
What do you call a slovakian thats been thrown out of a bar?
A bounced czech.
I miss USSR era humor sometimes.
Ouch.
So this is interesting. I’m reading a biography of Benjamin Franklin, and it is dealing with his trip to London in 1764-5 and the political intrigues in England. There is this rather (to me) astonishing contention:
Has there been any other British possession that was granted outright independence for another 100+ years? Increasing self rule in some of them, perhaps.
Drag queen
LOL @ the under car snap
Dammit. My long comment was eaten by the server. Here’s how it started …
We’re doomed.
That’s all you need, really.
It’s all downhill from there

It’s a shithouse. The rest is just gingerbread and ornamentation.

“Why didn’t you fire those frauds Birx and Foochy?”
“……….”
.”All in all, this is pretty good. Warka: 2.3/5”
Dang. Pretty good gets a 2.3? Tough crowd.
Sorry. I’m eating tequila flavored ice cream with my sons.
Avatar checks out.
I could only get a third of the way through that “rap” video.
More like CRAP! Amiright?
Glib poll time. Worst political rap video: Masters or Beatty?

Case closed.

Hilarious and cringe.
This gem was in the sidebar.
K&P are amazing.
Rap sucks.
Not this.
Or especially this.
Nope.
I’d rather listen and watch this.
I hate SHG with a passion. Being forced to listen every morning and afternoon for months was enough to give me PTSD. Actually I hate the hip wannabe white kids that went along with it.
Tundra – got one for you. French cars Rock!

I love everything about that car. Not shockingly, Giovanni Michelotti did the design. His list of cars is amazing.
Even designed the Spitfire!
As far as French cars, I once owned a Peugeot 504 diesel. I still have PTSD from that fucking thing!
Watsky is awesome, the fastest rapper in the world.
Hes a Jewish kid with lisp, really funny

Interesting commentary contemporary with the fall of the Vijayanagara Empire…
FoC is always great. Paul Cooper is great!
His show on Petra is amazing
The whoonawhattahownow?
Referencing Curtis is always going to get some kind of a reaction. He’s not exactly mainstream.
