Anheuser-Busch apparently lost $27 Billion in market cap since putting the Tik Tok, um, person on a single can. Although I should point out that coincided with a lot of market volatility due in part to idiots hyperventilating over debt ceiling nonsense. Although I will also point out they doubled down some more, now that its pride month. At this point, genuflecting to rednecks won’t save them.
This is my review of Grande Cuvèe Porter Baltique:
Hunter Biden’s lawyer decided to threaten us with a good time:
His lawyers have already told Justice Department officials that, if their client is charged with the gun crime, they will challenge the law under the Second Amendment, according to a person familiar with the private discussions granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. That could turn a case that is already fraught with political consequences into a high-profile showdown over the right to bear arms.
The dispute would come as the White House fights to tighten gun laws. And it could put conservative gun-rights enthusiasts, who typically criticize the Biden family, in unusual alignment with the president’s son.
This related to an incident first reported in 2021, but took place in 2018. Hunter allegedly asked his daughter in law to dispose of a .38 caliber revolver in a trash can outside a local grocery store. The Schutzstaffel US Secret Service at the time publicly denied involvement in the disposal because no member of Biden’s family was under their protection at the time. Although the Schutzstaffel US Secret Service allegedly tried to retrieve the ATF Form 4473 from the FFL holder whom Hunter purchased the gun.
One of the many crimes Hunter is under investigation is making a false statement on a federal form, specifically the ATF Form 4473. Which makes the whole thing fantastic news for 2A advocates!
The ATF Form 4473 used as a record for firearms transactions and background checks is rooted in the Gun Control Act of 1968, which was passed in the wake of multiple politically motivated assassinations over the course of the 1960’s. The constitutionality of the act was always in question since filling out a six page form, and having a background check in order to purchase from a Federally licensed merchant all qualify as “infringement” under a plain reading of 2A. The best argument in favor of this system is this is a “reasonable restriction” in the “interest of public safety,” which implies a concession to the fact it is infringement on 2A rights—but only on somebody determined by the state unworthy of their rights.
The other part that makes it great news? The gun in question is not an evil black unregistered ghost gun meant exclusively to exterminate school children or brown people in a third world country determined to be undesirable by the state. Nor is it one with a bump stock, and made on a 3D printer. Its a .38 caliber revolver. A weapon so milquetoast, so ubiquitous, so ingrained in American culture as an item so inherently disposable, people still search every bathroom in America to make sure there isn’t a .38 hidden behind the toilet.
Rights are to be recognized and respected by all, whose protections include everyone including the President’s crackhead son.
So not everything that comes from Canada can be bad right? Take this beer for example. Unfortunately, I only got my hands on one of these because the brewer insists this will age remarkably well. It is almost stout-like in terms of color, complexity, and alcohol content. Notes of dark fruit, dark chocolate, and caramel make it even more confusing. In the end however, they insist this is technically a dark lager. Grande Cuvèe Porter Baltique: 4.3/5 10% ABV
“This is my review of Grande Cuvèe Porter Baltique”
I wouldn’t drink anything that looks that fancy.
Sounds really good to me. The fact that was lagered rather than an ale only makes me more interested.
I won’t drink any beer with ‘Grand’ or ‘Imperial’ in the name or description. Applied to beer, those words translate to, ‘…tastes like used motor oil.’
This one is safe, no “grand” or “imperial” in sight.
*balls up fist*
YOU LEAVE IMPERIAL STOUT ALONE!
I WOULD!
We must protect the rights of those we dislike or disagree with in order to protect our own. I don’t think the DoJ will go after Hunter’s gun violation to prevent damage to biden and to eliminate the chance for the Nazgul to rule on this issue.
The beer sounds interesting.
“Gun Control Act of 1968, which was passed in the wake of multiple politically motivated assassinations over the course of the 1960’s”
More like over scary black people with guns.
I don’t think the 2A allows people to toss guns public trash cans. That seems way worse than lying on a 4473.
True. He should have thrown it in the recycling bin.
or sold it to me for $25 and a bag of mystery powder.
You may want to sanitize it before carrying.
Of course I’d clean it before using. Can’t blindly trust the maintenance on a dumpster gun.
*takes notes*
This here. Gun control is one of the last vestiges of Jim Crow.
This is something that really bothers me. I remain amazed more black Americans don’t take issue with it.
Man, that was a good movie.
Beer looks pretty good too.
I haven’t seen it in a really long time, and finding a spare 3 hours is getting harder to find these days.
This puts anti-2a types in a pretty pickle. Or it would if they were not completely dishonest and lacking any standards other than those that are double.
They don’t give a fuck. Hunter will get his carve out, and his corrupt old man will keep pushing this shit.
The trash can in front of a 7-11 is the new gun safe
Yep. Trying to call out the Progs on their hypocrisy is a waste of time. They don’t care.
The only good that can come from this is Hunter doing a bit in FCI Peterberg.
Absolutely, which is the best thing about this.
If they do give Hunter a pass on this it just further exposes the two-tiered justice system.
Then get ready for a good pants dropping.
And it could put conservative gun-rights enthusiasts, who typically criticize the Biden family, in unusual alignment with the president’s son.
You just can’t be wrong all the time, either.
To be honest, I couldn’t give a fuck less about Hunter Biden’s antics, aside from the influence peddling and general hypocritical nepotism.
What a crock of shit line by Politico.
I’m pretty sure there’s virtually zero 2A rights advocates who condone lying on the 4473, except maybe some pro-weed types.
One time while I was working the Wal Mart gun counter a customer looked at me and said, “I’m sort of under investigation. Internal Affairs, it happens to every cop.” He then marked the box NO.
I stopped the purchase there. “You just told me you were under investigation.”
He asked to speak to the manager.
It’s a shame Walmart no longer has a gun counter.
The one in Wasilla does.
All the ones in VA do.
It’s a shame the Walmarts in CA don’t have a gun counter.

Is Taibbi cribbing from SugarFree?
It’s a fairly well known story (he wrote, despite only getting around to reading it this week).
I had never heard of it until this week. I’ve already re-read it a few times.
Good discussion of it, too.
Likewise, I had never heard of it either. Just odd that two references to it come in the same week.
More evidence we’re living in a simulation?
Good stuff – I just read it.
I think I borrowed the collection from the library when I was a kid but I didn’t remember this particular story.
“AOC Parody account (@AOCPress) has deactivated their account, after gaining tens of thousands of new followers, due to a surge of death threats they were receiving.

https://twitter.com/alx/status/1664664301540368392
Sad, if true.
The internet has really cheapened the meaning of death threats. I remember the good old days when you had to find a person’s landline and call up them and threaten to skin their family pets in front them before executing their family, or mailing actual letters written in your own blood that promised to end their existence. Now all it takes is a quick DM to someone saying “lol kill urself”.
A sad state of affairs.
I wonder if it is more of a doxing situation.
Libs of TikTok had to be prepared to persue it as a full time job. Maybe they don’t want that path.

Bud Light has become a joke already. We pulled in my brother in law’s driveway last night and he was drinking from a can with a coozy. So I asked “enjoying a nice cold Bud Light”? Ha ha ha no way.
The bar I go to has an ice tub of bottled light beer right behind the bar for easy access and it used to be 1/3 bud light, miller light and coors light. Now there’s zero bud light in the tub. I asked the bartender what happened to all the bud light and she kinda laughed. Granted, this bar is full of old men who are retired or a few years away from retirement, but they’re not the tiktok target demographic. Very odd to see.
One of the dudes on my hockey team works for AB (in their craft division). He said his stuff has been ok, especially around here, but the southern states are a bloodbath.
Came across someone that was buying it at a Circle-K. Yes, she appeared to be on meth.

Very nice, Tundra. Much too nice for the likes of me.
Man, I quit my job a week or so ago and it Feels Good to know that things are Not My Problem anymore.
I took a pay cut for a new job starting soon doing capital project management. No more calls at 3 am when something is literally on fire or finding out my employee is facing felony murder charges for selling fent to people.
Congrats! Hopefully we’ll see you around more often!
Thanks!
The time difference and work make it pretty unlikely. I’m asleep during the morning lynx and don’t end the work day until 9p eastern.
So you can play with us until 9:00 Eastern.
My workday ends at 9pm EDT and I join in after then as well. There are usually a few night owls around.

What’s this “not Glibbing at work” nonsense, anyway?

I knew a couple of hard core Bud Light drinkers in Livingston. I wonder if they have switched.
Oddly, Charles Barkley endorsed Bud Light a couple of tines on the NBA post-game broadcast the other night.
From the morning links, the article about the 3 person white supremacy group and the guy getting 30 years for leaving stickers and pamphlets….
This dovetails with a serious concern I have about the state of the law in our nation. This used to be a serious point of pride as an American. The whole concept of being equal before the law is foundational.
Yet…
It just so happened that yesterday I was discussing a local case down here. A Miami commissioner was found liable for harassing 2 local businesses and ordered to pay $60 million in damages.
Now….
I am glad that corruption is being policed. That ain’t the point. The issue I had was the $60 million. He could have run their families over with his Suburban and not been found liable for that kind of money.
Trump having to pay millions for saying “I didn’t do that” in a case where the jury agreed he didn’t do that….
All those Jan 6 folks who at most were guilty of trespassing and were held without charge or bail for a year…
And now some idiot handing out pamphlets gets decades in prison?
If that isn’t for the content of hos speech, I don’t see how you could ever prove that something was due to the content. And yet, pleading out probably removes all challenges to his case.
Prosecutors swear fealty to the law and to justice. Nobody who would participate in this should be allowed near a courthouse, I don’t care how much of a douchenozzle this guy is.
We used to know that. Clearly, we have forgotten.
This dovetails with a serious concern I have about the state of the law in our nation. This used to be a serious point of pride as an American. The whole concept of being equal before the law is foundational.
It takes shamelessness on a grand scale for American officials to point fingers at other countries, these days.
Meghan Kelly had Tara Reade on the other day. She has fled to Russia in fear of the Biden administration.
She is clearly stepping over the line into kooky territory (which is a really good way to discredit your accuser), but it brought up an interesting contrast.
She clearly believes she will be treated more fairly in Putin’s Russia than she will be here. Some of that is because she has some degree of a lack of horsepower in the brains department, but she says there has been a secret FBI investigation into her since hee allegations resurfaced. She even enlisted the aid of a US senator to get what the FBI has on her and they have been rebuffed at every turn.
Now there is apparently another investigation because she went to Russia and gave state media an interview.
She has some important things to share…. unfortunately, she has cooked her credibility. She wants Russian citizens eship and is supporting Putin in the war. Apparently she hasn’t figured out that opposing US involvement does not require singing the praises of Putin. She is inching up toward Hanoi Jane level nuttiness, I am afraid.
Yeah, I saw that. Kelly went after her fairly hard (I thought). I’d pretty much agree with your assessment. Nobody on the left will give her credibility after “siding with Putin”.
Yet I have so little trust in our alphabet agencies, I wouldn’t toss out her claims that she is in danger in the US.
Whatever you think they’re doing, the truth is going to be way worse.
I absolutely believe she is in danger in the US. I have little doubt the FBI is after her. Now, I think it’s somewhat unlikely she’ll wind up dead in a gutter after a robbery where nothing was stolen, but charged and imprisoned? Better than even odds.
And now some idiot handing out pamphlets gets decades in prison?

The backlash over the Mulveyney type viral advertising has surprised me in one way.
That dude and the guy from The North Face ad should be taken as an insult by the gau community.
Even if you like Dylan, it is such ludicrous pandering. The dude even says that he doesn’t like beer and sports in an ad about beer and sports. Like, there are gay dudes who like beer and like sports. I know. I have watched football and had beers with them. They don’t act like that.
But at least he was a viral trend they were trying to hitch a ride on.
The North Face dude…. what are they even thinking? He doesn’t wear their gear, and he isn’t doing anything related to their brand other than standing in a field.
They could have easily pulled off something great… a rugged gay couple in The North Face gear camping in some remote wilderness location, sitting by a fire talking about how great it is to get away together. End with you logo and “Celebrate Pride”.
Nobody would freak out about that, even if they are weirded out by gay couples.
Instead you put a clown on in what really looks like a parody making fun of pride month.
I have seen a few gay guys on Twitter commenting to this effect, but I am shocked that this has not been the dominant response. My ex and u used to go camping with 2 lesbian couples up in the Georgia mountains. I can’t see any of the four of them being anything other than insulted by these campaigns.
👆👆👆
I think it’s primarily because the (primarily) women who are making these decisions want to stick it to the cishetero-patriarchy more than they want to make a buck.
I think a forgot a primarily.
Primarily
Primarily I agree with you.
But primarily I think it goes deeper. I think they are trying to provoke a response to Patriot Act a shit ton of people.
Primarily I am certain that most of the things that have happened since 2008 are agent provocateur stunts designed to provoke an exploitable reaction.
Primarily it worries me that very few people see the Charlotte bathroom law, tearing down confederate statues, Antifa assaulting people, BLM riots, Jan 6, prosecuting Trump, Whitmer kidnapping plot, and FBI misinformation combat teams as all part of a single strategy.
It’s definitely provocation.
“Like this or else.”
Everybody knows it’s an offensive caricature but you’re not supposed to say it out loud. Right out of the soviet playbook our “leaders” have been following in recent years.
We sound like a couple of weirdos with Tinfoil lining our houses for even noticing .
It is shocking how quickly things changed.
I don’t think they are looking for the over the line early civil rights era AL/MS type of response. I think it is more a bottom log on top response, “You will listen, and my media allies will make sure you do. I like that you feel powerless because I felt powerless.” Or shorter “FU to your FU.”
HRC and similar groups chose not to close up shop after the SC victories over marriage and gays being incorporated into civil rights law. They had won, but getting a boring corporate law gig didn’t fit their personalities. So, they expanded QUILTAG to include things like drag story hour, trans 4 year olds, etc. that only a few years earlier they would have denounced.
I think this definitely plays a role… like all of the anti-smoking activism being redirected towards vaping, which is at least 2 orders of magnitude safer.
But the provoke and attack the response gambit is working for them, so far.
Prosecute the couple who brandished a gun on their front lawn, not the mob threatening to burn the house down.
Definitely a strong message to keep your head down and obey.
The message I am getting is “If they come for you, die on your feet, not your knees”. Solzhenitsyn’s “How we burned in the camps” is on my mind.
Dylan Mulvaney comes out as a lesbian.
That is actually funny. I mean, it is funny if he is just a campy gay performance artist.
He/she/they seem deeply confused.
If by “confused” you mean “making bank like a mofo”, then you are correct, sir.
It’s a lucrative confusion.
“…a rugged gay couple in The North Face gear camping in some remote wilderness location, sitting by a fire talking about how great it is to get away together.”

There is a lot of overlap between marketing majors and education majors.
Andrew Tate has an excellent example of the modern ambush interview. Not being without any media savvy, he recorded the whole thing and uploaded it in its entirety to expose them.
You don’t have to take his side to see an obvious ambush for what it is.
Why do they keep sending youg women to do these? They are so bad at it. Trump fileted that lady at CNN, Jordan Peterson got capital F famous taking apart a BBC interviewer, and while Tate doesn’t exactly dissect this lady, he definitely exposes her game and she comes off the worse for it.
https://twitter.com/Cobratate/status/1664224115429965829?t=RJwi6Gb8bijw7_qY3m6Dsw&s=19
The Peterson interview was great. He took Cathy Newman (I think) apart.
Kind of related, I was pissed at Trump for ragging on Kayley McEnerney (sp?). She was awesome at her job while she had it, BTFO-ing the hostile press corps, and he rags on her for looking at and reporting a different poll than he did that had slightly differing figures.
I think I’ve heard part of the Peterson interview with Newman. Is that the one where he has to keep correct her “factual” assertions. I think that’s one of the great signs of the modern failures of journalism. Absolutely no idea that the “accepted” story could be wrong; no real fact-checking; no verification.
It was very revealing. Trump cares about Trump and no one else. He is a thin skinned narcissist.
RN/Chafed – I think this is the link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMcjxSThD54&pp=ygUuam9yZGFuIHBldGVyc29uIHZzIGNhdGh5IG5ld21hbiBmdWxsIGludGVydmlldw%3D%3D
Chafed – sorry, didn’t really read your comment, but you’re right. Anyone who projects him as less than great might suffer from the mean tweets. When he’s doing it to totally undeserving people, he just comes off as an asshole. I think he could lose a few points in the polls. Deservedly so.

I’m listening to it now.
Matt Walsh is a religious prude, who seems likely to go full Torquemada if he ever finds himself with absolute power. He also does a good job of making these people look retarded.
I mean, to be honest alls you have to do is let them speak their minds and the retardation just flows naturally. Walsh didn’t have to do anything special there.
The majority of the country doesn’t agree with this shit, and the ones who share platitudes don’t really even know what the flimsy intellectual framework used to support it is. They just go along because it’s trendy and fashionable.
This is true. Walsh strikes me as a not terribly bright. All he had to do was ask the question, credit to him for doing so, and these “intellectuals” hung themselves.
I mean, to be honest alls you have to do is let them speak their minds and the retardation just flows naturally.
Its really 90 minutes of exactly that.
Well, there are very, very few people who can be trusted with absolute power. And I include you lot in the “nope, not to be trusted”category. No offense; I don’t trust me with absolute power either.
Give me the power and the sights I would show everyone…
Oh, and I think we are learning there are worse things than religious prudery. Like pole-dancing six year olds, and middle-aged perverts having toddlers stuff money into their g-strings while the parents look on and applaud, and the surgical mutilation and sterilization of teenagers. And, and, and . . . .
If the choice is between Sam Brinton and Don Escaped’s church ladies, I’ll take the church ladies.
Seconded

Remember the distinction, though. I speak King James well and learned at the feet of world-class bible thumpers, and my own life choices would be thought of as conservative by most from their distance. These women were the centers and the power of my family.
But that is family; that is proper for a family. My disdain has always been for the natural authoritarianism that informs the strong majority of those same people, such as I have known the past half century or so. They have been wrong about everything in the public sector all my life: they prosecuted the homosexual, they bombed the yellow man gleefully, and the ones I knew were stridently racist. I’m also related to a ton of idiots who happen to be truckdrivers (even my father had a CDL) and abused the good ones with my sweeping generalizations.
My goal has always been to employ a handy catch-all to criticize behaviors that 99% of Glibs oppose 99% of the time. If I’ve offended any libertarian truckdrivers or churchladies with over-efficient stereotypes, it wasn’t may intent. I only meant to pound on authoritarian conservatives, a hobby of which I do not repent.
I don’t disagree. Its just there really is nothing in between the extremes.
88 degrees and my cold water is warm. I suppose I could take an extra long shower and not run out of hot water… 🤔

Headed off to the Russian Money Laundering Store to buy a new bed for XX. Then I shall correct my latest coding exam and upload it. Then I may or may not find out if I have to work today. My life. She is so exciting.

Knowing the customers, it was likely applied in the moment.

Time to get the Civic back in service.
Just came back from the ranch store with the cheapest Civic-sized battery in town. Cheapest I could find, anyway. If I put the old one on charge overnight it would drift down to 10v on its own, and barely rattle the starter solenoid. Turn the lights on, and it went immediately to 5v. It was at least twelve years old, so I can’t cry too hard.
Next up, clean and tighten all the grounds.
Batteries last 2 – 3 years in Tucson. 12 years? You should give that battery a 21 gun salute and a marble mausoleum.
Off to race. The usual Trades are blowing and we have some scattered clouds. This is a final tune up for next weekend and the big race series. Three days, 15 races, and ~30 boats all vying to be crowned the winner of the Summer Circuit.
Have a good day everyone.
In Tundra’s twatter link people are asking for “best fictional cop”.

I am fully well aware that Trump will say or do anything to get his way, but praising Cuomo’s handling of Covid while attacking DeSantis on his record is one of the most mind numbingly stupid things he’s done. It also shows that he doesn’t understand his own base anywhere near as much as he thinks.
This right here should be enough to tank Trump. It won’t, but it should.
It’s literally insane.
Trump was (and is) pro-vax. He was pro-lockdown – he gave Fauci and Birx control, and he funded the lockdowns. He should be a dead man walking in the Republican Party. Hell, in a function society, he would be an outcast with no political future at all.
But instead, he is first in line to lose to the Democrat (my belief: any Repub will lose to any Dem) in 2024.
Trump’s biggest weakness might just be the inability to admit he’s wrong on anything and praising Cuomo on Covid is somewhat akin to praising himself. Don’t forget, when Georgia the state and Sweden the country reduced and eliminated Covid restrictions Trump attacked them mercilessly and he can’t stop publicly pleasuring himself over his role in the development of the vax. He’s either defensive to the point of idiocy or he’s a true believer neither of which is good.
I think it’s purely the ego. He didn’t have the balls to stand up against this shit, and needs to get credit for the vax. And he still listens to the media that he declares the enemy far too much. His world is still in the same little bubble they operate in – not that of his base.
I heard about that, it makes it pretty tough to vote for him when he was wrong about the most important issue of my lifetime.
Interestingly (?) Dave Smith rates Trump above Desantis, because of war. Personally, I think COVID is the bigger issue and I think Dave used to think so too, not sure why it isn’t his most important anymore-does he think it can never recur?
Just make it an RFK/Trump contest.

You’ve been there more than a week and haven’t run down the best place to buy booze? I haz a disappoint.
Other than that (*deep sigh*), I’m glad to hear that things are going pretty well.
Batteries last 2 – 3 years in Tucson.
Heat and dryness definitely make a big difference, but I think a lot of it has to do with the constant load of “modern” electrical systems even when the car is not running.
Desulfators, even the cheap ones from Harbor Freight (or Hazard Fraught as we called it at my prior job) will extend lead acid battery life for years.
Or do what I have done, based on my hillbilly background- recondition it by pouring in epsom salt.
YMMV by Ive kept a couple of tractors alive doing that to the bat-tree.
The good news is, I’ve been through probably 4 batteries since I moved here, and I only paid for 2 of them. The rest were still under warranty. If you play your cards right, you’ll probably never need to buy more than one battery in this town.
Trump needs to just go quietly into retirement. Being a former President of the United States is not a bad gig.
I know, I know. He’s not capable of that, even if the deep state lackeys would leave him alone.
To be honest, he’s doing a service by holding the mirror up to the election process. Maybe he will get a few of the DEMOCRACY! fetishists to think seriously about verification of eligibility.
‘Maybe he will get a few of the DEMOCRACY! fetishists to think’
You had me going until here, nice satire.
Sounds like a delicious stout.
Im currently indulging in my new bad habit: a manicure and pedicure at the local nail spa.
Never had one before March of this year, and now I’m addicted. It’s not just the results, it’s the process. Very relaxing and also fun to gab with some ladies I’d probably not meet in other settings. It’s been fun!
Socializing is very powerful thing. Dudes used to do it in barber shops, and I think there’s been a little bit of a (hipster) resurgence there. Gyms, also, rely more than they know on the fact that gyms are social settings. For awhile, coffee shops (some), although that disappeared when everybody got chronic screen hypnosis.
Likeaso?

A young woman just sauntered in wearing a camo baseball cap and a t-shirt that reads “Real Women aren’t men”.
Everyone enthusiastically agreed.
Welp, I was just reminded that we have wolf spiders in Arizona. And that they can grow rather large (a legitimate 5 inches in length, including the legs).
Fun fact: they are blindingly fast.
Funner fact: they can jump. Like, really, really well.
The good news: my spider phobia is gone. Replaced by a scorpion phobia, true, but at least the spider phobia is gone.
I’ve had scorpion phobia since my early childhood viewing of Clash of the Titans.
Lol
Many years ago my then-wife and I were staying in a small motel near Tucson and the proprietor warned there might be scorpions in the room (check shoes before putting feet in them, etc.). We didn’t sleep very much that night.
Would a scorpion- wolf spider cage match be something you would enjoy watching?
When ex Mrs Tres and I moved from Texas, I was getting some boxes from the garage. Underneath was a nest of scorpions. She shrieked (may have wet herself) and ran in the house.
I thought they were really cool. Shoo’d the whole mess out with a broom.
Wolf spiders are awesome. My daughter tried to pet one when she was 4. It was confused and terrified.
Dad was a grocer. Winter grapes, bananas, all produce imported from the RGV or places further south, are full of spider and scorpion corpses. I think the boxes are gassed: never saw one alive.
nope nope nope
Yikes
This puts anti-2a types in a pretty pickle. Or it would if they were not completely dishonest and lacking any standards other than those that are double.
Memphis can barely afford an NBA team; the NBA and the Grizzlies have a similar mess on their hands…as do their fans….with the Ja Morant gun-waving:

I follow a lot of local women on twitter for various reasons, and they are all proper libtard anti-2A types…..but lo: Ja is just misunderstood and deserves all the second chances and so on. This is where we are in America: principled until our own guy misbehaves….then come the apologies and the excuses.
Like Biden the Lesser, I don’t care what Morant does with a pistol as long as he keeps it nice and NAP. Part of me is gleeful at the transparent hypocrisy the situation has reveals, but like others commenting above, the other part of me confesses that it just doesn’t matter: we are not a principled people any more. Our culture is hollowed out; our institutions are bankrupt; our parties are garbage; our leaders are children; our neighbors are rudderless.
Many have principles, like “me first.”.
Made it to Amarillo with a ton of people in the car. Woof. Long trip. Having an Old Fashioned at the Embassy Suites before heading to the Texan Steak House. Spaniard said he would do the challenge. 72 ounce steak, potato, salad and drink. Has to eat it all. He better not barf in the car.
Palo Duro is sacred by any measure. If you are a good scout, turkey will walk through your camp and Quanah will give you advice in your dreams.
Weird fact: pretty much no trees in Amarillo, but every house has a fireplace; what they burning: meadow muffins?
I don’t know how that is possible. I would choke on 16 ounces. And yet… I sure look like I can handle a hefty steak. 😑
That disturbance in the force you felt today was two of us Glibs getting together. Our own Pope came to see my game today. This weekend is going exceptionally well for our team. We had a weird and crappy season not worth writing about but this tournament deserves an article. Our championship game is tomorrow, I’ll post an update.
