“Cracky isn’t real!” Dr. Biden screamed.
Hunter, suspended from the ceiling, let out an agonized howl.
“Le-le-leave the boy alone, Jill,” Joe said.
“He has to learn!” Dr. Biden growled, poking at Hunter with a broomstick. “He can’t keep living in rafters and fuck tunnels and ducking subpoenas.”
“Cracky!” Hunter cried, “CRACKY!”
“He hasn’t smoked crack in nearly six hours, Grandma,” Finnegan said. “Maybe we should let him have just a little bit.”
“A little dab’ll do ya!” Hunter said in his Cracky voice. Projected, it sounded like it was coming from inside Dr. Biden’s hideous purse.
“More!” Hunter said.
“More!” Cracky said.
“More!” Karine said, pissing herself, drunk on the Oval Office settee.
“More?” Joe asked, his face smeared with oat milk ice cream.
Jill sighed and dumped Cracky out onto Joe’s desk. “We have an election to run,” she said tiredly and walked out of the room.
Hunter descended from the ceiling, ropes and pulleys creaking, and snatched up his beloved Cracky, crying.
Dr. Biden’s hideous Purse
But it matches the sofa!
I laughed, for a reason
poking at Hunter with a broomstick
She’s smarter than we usually give her credit for.
She is a doctor afterall.
Sez who?
Cracky looks like a little nugget of happiness.
Assuming that this settee is in the OO rather than just from the OO, does that room have rafters?
Besides, I thought Hunter lived in mirrors.
I thought it he lived behind the drapes, with just his Sam Smiths showing at the bottom and an outline of a bulge in the material at a yard from the floor.
Like a much worse version of Mudds wife without the correct programming.

Is Hunter really Peter Pan?

Joe, you potato head, iced oat milk isn’t ice cream.

Cracky IS real. He lives in a special place in all of our hearts.

Here’s one for you — I couldn’t remember how to spell “bat’leth,” so I let the autocorrect handle it. Which it did.
That’s disgusting.
Julie Benson, the writer in question, is surprisingly a would.
Yeah, whatever. As I recall Stallone was diagnosed as a conduct disorder as a child…i.e. what they call sociopaths before they are adults. If you catch them early enough and start flogging…as they did him…morale improves.

Speaking of,
I was listening to an article on human composting and my knee-jerk response was of course to reject it as being woke virtue-signaling. But the more I thought about it, the better of an idea it seems. Especially because unlike cremation, the bones don’t get ground up afterwards and can be placed in a nice ossuary. If I were the sort of person with a spacious estate and heirs and such, I’d think that would be a nice way to have a family mausoleum for the bony bits and the plant food part added to the orchard/ganja field/coca plantation.
Relevant to family ossuaries.
Someone on this board recommended that series, and for that I thank them.
It may have been me. I enthusiastically echo the recommendation if it wasn’t 😉
Harrow the Ninth is also excellent. Nona the Ninth opens many cans of worms and is both appropriate to the series and distinctly different from the first two.
With any luck, we’ll see the final book, Alecto the Ninth, by year’s end.
As I mentioned on the morning thread in the context of Ellroy, my memory for names is not great. So by the end of Nona, I was a little confused.
The running flashbacks did really firm up my thinking that, while I’m not sure I’m rooting for the Edenists, I am hoping that John loses hard.

So, it wasn’t attached my the ship’s armorer? Or was it attached by the ship’s armorer and there’s more to the story?
The ship’s armorer was vetted though. They had a recommendation letter from Alec Baldwin.
That is a DPRK and Kim Jong Un level photo.
I’m just surprised that the USS McCain hasn’t caught on fire and nearly sunk due to an accidental discharge
My gun friends are passing this one around like a stripper at a Hells Angels party.
Apparently the Marines have gotten an official Twitter dig in already. If I was that armorer, I would really be thinking about going UA in outer Mongolia and changing my name…
Yes, but if the Captain knew thing one about guns and optics, he’d have handed the gun back to whoever gave it to him and said “this scope doesn’t work”
I mean, anyone who’s ever looked through a telescope, let alone a rifle scope, would know something is wrong.
I mean, we’re talking about a fleet Captain here…
I suspect the “optics” of this picture are the root of the problem. By the way my favorite comment:
“Maybe the scope identifies as correctly mounted?”
He actually fired the rifle in that condition.
🤦♂️
You see, shooting with a magnified optic is no challenge. He’s so badass he needs a REDUCING optic!

Every article or video I’ve seen on the Arizona abortion decision derisively describes it as a 150 year old law or a Civil War-era law as if that invalidates it on its face. It’s funny because you will often see pro-abortionists try and argue that there was no historical tradition banning abortions. But I’m crazy to even expect the slightest bit of intellectual consistency.
No one tell the left how old laws against murder are.
They’ll just assert Hammurabi was a person of color.
Semites are like Hispanics – they can be white when convenient.
I don’t understand the controversy. After Roe v Wade was overturned, that old law came back into effect. So the state legislature needs to pass an updated law if they so desire. Very much like tons of other states passed their own laws after the decision. Am I making this too simple?
Am I making this too simple?
Yes
I wonder how many of these people think a supreme court ruling removes the law from the books.
My wife heard about this law on the CBS Morning Propaganda Hour this morning and she was in a huff (despite being mostly pro-life) since we just moved to AZ. I explained it to her in exactly the same way. Roe gone, old law now in affect. New law will be written, but will become a political football used to grandstand and maximize campaign contributions for the state legislature .
She responded, that shouldn’t happen because the law is obviously old and stupid. I asked her if she thinks judges should just be able to invalidate laws if they don’t like them and she stormed off.
Civics classes in high school are beyond useless.
An even snarkier response:
“So you’re OK with conservative judges invalidating any ancient law they don’t like … such as Roe v. Wade? Or would this be a power reserved only for judges who are registered Democrats?”
She’s conservative (and by that I mean she was raised conservative so she just follows along and doesn’t really think about it.) She pays almost no attention to news except a couple of times a year she’ll start a kick of watching those stupid morning shows. I tell her all corporate news is pure propaganda and she’ll agree and then say “but I want to know what’s going on in the world.” A week later, she can’t take their bullshit anymore and gives up. Anyway, I was floored that she cared at all.
How old are the laws against polygamy?
“No one tell the left how old laws against murder are.”
In Arizona, for some murders … 1860.

Donald Trump’s financial house of cards is beginning to collapse.
The Republican presidential nominee, who’s made his personal wealth central to his candidacy since 2016, has fallen off the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The list is a daily ranking of the 500 richest people in the world, and as of Tuesday, Trump no longer qualifies.
I think those people are more obsessed with Trump’s net worth than he is.
Lefties like New Republic cannot grasp that people like Trump because they hate the New Republic types so much.
Someone here wrote (paraphrasing) “Trump is a flaming bag of dogshit left on the porch of the PMC.”
daily ranking
Can’t tell the players without the score card.
I proudly claim authorship of “Trump is the giant flaming bag of dogshit America threw on Washington’s front porch.”
I, for one, am completely baffled by the persistence of unexpectedly high inflation indicators.
Psst – it’s just the media trying to tip the scales toward Trump.

I wonder how many of these people think a supreme court ruling removes the law from the books.
Every law should come with an expiration date. At minimum, any law not actively enforced in a specified time period should be deemed unnecessary and administratively appealed by default.
If nobody was ever prosecuted over a law than that means it worked and stopped bad things from happening!
/s Prog
You’re not even joking. That would be a real argument they would make. That magic law paper works wonders!
But Michael Flynn wouldn’t have been investigated under The Logan Act, which was passed in 1799,
If he wasn’t investigated then he wouldn’t have lied to the FBI about colluding with the Russians. And be prosecuted for that.
Stupid brain. That should read “… deemed unnecessary and administratively REpealed by default.”
My cognitive autocorrect smoothed that one out for me seamlessly.
The amount of post-processing our brains do is fascinating/horrifying to me.
<blockquote[CONFIRMED] Irish Media ADMITS to Antifa-Linked ‘Undercover’ Operations To Stage False Flag; BBC Involved?
Newstalk (one of Ireland’s largest media companies) admitted they sent a team to an Irish anti-immigration protest in a statement to Gript (Ireland’s largest independent Irish news platform). A Newstalk journalist involved contacted Irish conservative activist Andy Heasman, denying that they had been working with Antifa. Newstalk are contradicting themselves in several different ways, but it doesn’t matter: whichever version you believe, it shows the massive bias the company has and the underhanded tactics it pursues.
The main journalist on the story works with the BBC and the lost phone showed contact with them about unrelated work. The day after the Coolock incident, the BBC showed up to the Coolock protest. What was the BBC’s role?
In their statement to Gript, Newstalk admitted: Their team were doing an “undercover investigation” on right-leaning politics in Ireland. The Newstalk team went undercover to “engage in counter protest” against a group of families opposed to a migrant centre in their neighbourhood. They got beaten up and lost their phones. When asked if there were unaffiliated people at the “protest”, they gave no comment. Separately, this morning Andy Heasman posted what he said are screenshots with one of the Newstalk team. The journalist claims to have not been “colluding” with Antifa
https://www.theburkean.ie/articles/2024/04/09/confirmed-irish-media-admits-to-antifa-linked-undercover-operations-to-stage-false-flag-bbc-involved
Pretty much what we see over here in the states, but, at this point the Irish aren’t playing the game anymore, they are angry that migrants are being housed there, when there is a serious housing shortage for locals, that they are being lied too, and that the EU is pushing this, and now that it has been confirmed that NGO’s, the BBC, and Anitfa are working together.
Wasn’t there a popular book a few years back called “How the Irish Saved Civilization”?
Maybe we’ll see ’em do it again.
Why yes and this is probably why you recall that. 😉
Between this and the NPR guy coming out and saying what everyone without terminal TDS knew already, it is nice to know that I am not going (completely) insane.
Wait – I thought Newstalk was Baked Penguin’s SNP cartoon news organization?

PS. I love how the sidebar specifically changes it to just “trans”. That speaks volumes.
It’s that time of year…yesterday, I got an email from one of my (female) calculus students: “Hi, we are getting to the end of the semester and my grade is not where I would like it to be, are their [sic] any extra credit assignments that I can complete to boost my grade?” Needless to say, she has not done any of the three extra credit assignments I have already offered to the class.
Here’s my response, (which I chickened out and decided not to send): “Be at my office at midnight. Bring knee pads, spackle, a tiara, a freshly-killed sparrow, and 2 quarts of banana pudding.”
Retake the class.
She’s passing, just not getting a GPA-boosting grade.
I sent her a very professional reply which stated that any additional extra credit opportunities, beyond the ones they have already had, would be offered to the entire class, and would be publicly announced. I also said not to expect any more.
“Pray I do not alter the deal further.”
As long as your reply didn’t include any emojis!
