My penis has been firmly planted in the Terra Firma for the last week with a lovely summer chest cold, that took away every bit of energy. I’m back in form, just in time for a week of 100+ weather. And this years garden so far, is insane.

Links anybody?

It may be a common practice, but the optics are still not good. Honestly, there won’t be an optic good enough to save him.

Huh. Pandering doesn’t work with the Mooslims.

Team Red, or Team Blue, you can count on both to overplay their hands.

I’m sure they’ll fuck it up and spin the changes into something they’re not. They’re law professors.

Uh huh. Yet every flight still seems to be full.

How long before we begin joint patrols with the Philippine Coast Guard?

The wrecks will be interesting.

Okay, I’m done. Time to beach up against the heat. Stay cool, Glibbies.

    The fever has left me, but the stopped-up sinuses/head, and incessant cough carry on.

    As early as March, Secretary of State for Justice Shabana Mahmood called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and has accused Israel of killing innocent civilians. But pro-Palestinian Muslim voters have nonetheless questioned her commitment to their cause.

    “British” Mooselimbs’ attitudes would make the Austrian painter blush.

    Burning gas pollutes the air and produces carbon dioxide, which warms the atmosphere and leads to more extreme weather. Burning one gallon produces about 19 pounds of carbon dioxide, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

    I thought stolen bases were baseball, not auto racing.

    • Suthenboy

      19 lbs? I dont think so. Good Lord, every single word of that is a bald-faced lie.

      • Suthenboy

        A gallon of gas weighs about 6 lbs at room temperature. Add that tot he oxygen needed to combust it and it comes to less than half of what they claim. It is absurd on it’s face along with their other claims. Worth keeping in mind that that the atoms composing CO2 came from the atmosphere as CO2, converted to hydrocarbons, gets combusted and returns to the atmosphere.
        The %CO2 constituent of the atmosphere is governed by ocean temp. Seeing as we are still in a post-ice age warming stage….well…

      • Fourscore

        I’m busy sequestering carbon in my trees. Then the trees fall over and rot, releasing all the carbon again. All the sequestered carbon will someday be released if I burn wood for heat.

        OTOH Green energy can be produced at no carbon cost, according to some special interest groups.

      Actually, buring gas produces carbon monoxide, but through the miracle of catalytic converters, we have managed to change that poison gas into harmless carbon dioxide and water.

    • creech

      Doesn’t a gallon of gasoline weigh about 8 or 9 pounds? So how does burning it produce 19 pounds of CO2?

      • DrOtto

        Science! And actually, gas is closer to 7 lbs per gallon. So it has to Science! even harder than Fauci to pull it off.

      • Spudalicious

        It takes 2.26kg of Oxygen for every kilogram of gasoline.

      • Suthenboy

        Ok, throw my wild-ass guess and assumption that they are always lying out the window. I did the math…it does.
        Even at that it means nothing.

    It’s really out of keeping with many, many of the prior cases. It’s also out of keeping with the line of cases regarding presidential immunity in which the court has been really clear that presidents are not above the law, but this decision says, in important ways, that they are,” said Claire Finkelstein, professor of law and philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania.

    I read the opinion of the court earlier today. It does actually say the President is not above the law. Basically, you need to impeach him for official acts.

    Republican voters were also less likely to travel by air this summer (54 percent) compared to Democratic voters (43 percent).

    I’m flying to FreedomFest next week. I wonder how shitty the flights will be.

    The China coastguard’s 165-meter ‘monster ship’ entered Manila’s 200-nautical mile EEZ on July 2, spokesperson for the PCG Jay Tarriela told a news forum.

      “ I read the opinion of the court earlier today. It does actually say the President is not above the law.”

      Agreed. I don’t understand what the big deal is. All it did was define the legal avenues. All this hand wringing from libs is disingenuous.

      • Suthenboy

        ” I don’t understand what the big deal is.”

        They want unchecked power concentrated in the executive branch. They want a straight up dictatorship. The court said no.

        I’m still waiting for a ruling on whether or not sexually harassing a lowly intern in the Oval Office is an “official act” or not?

      • DEG

        I’m still waiting for a ruling on whether or not sexually harassing a lowly intern in the Oval Office is an “official act” or not?

        The opinion of the court doesn’t talk about Monica Lewinsky, but does talk about Paula Jones.

        Paula Jones involved unofficial acts, so no immunity.

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        Keeping the AWFLs in state of constant panic is basically the begining and end of Team Blue’s campaign strategy, at this point.

      • J. Frank Parnell

        Inconceivable!

        LBJ to Doris Kearns. “Move over, Honey, it’s your president”

    • R C Dean

      The decision was, jurisprudentially speaking, a clarification of existing decisions. Of fucking course you can’t jail a President for what he does when exercising his powers; otherwise every President would be in the dock continually for murder and manslaughter based on totally routine activities in the military (including training deaths). Not to mention assault for totally routine law enforcement activities, etc. If you aren’t a hardcore anarchist, it’s absolutely hardwired into having a government of any kind.

    The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said on Saturday that China’s largest coastguard vessel has anchored in Manila’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the South China Sea, and is meant to intimidate its smaller Asian neighbour.

    I have been wondering just what sort of provocation, from what direction we could expect as a result of it becoming obvious to the world just how feckless and rudderless the White House is. Maybe the Norks will overrun the DMZ, too.

    • R C Dean

      So if the Philippines were to order it, as a foreign warship, to leave, and it refused, and the Philippines sank it, what would the ChiComs do?

      • Spudalicious

        They’ve already been ramming Phillippine’s fishing boats.

    They want to represent electric vehicles, and more broadly electrification, in racing as cool, fun and accessible, said Riley Nelson, NASCAR’s head of sustainability.

    Formula E already exists. How many novelty acts do we need?

    Meanwhile, Shane Van Gisbergen won the Xfinity race in his big noisy “Camaro” a little while ago.

    • R C Dean

      Great race, too.

    Burning one gallon produces about 19 pounds of carbon dioxide, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

    Huh. I could have sworn a gallon of gasoline only weighs 6 or 7 pounds. That’s some Grade A Science Journalisming.

    • Ted S.

      Gasoline is mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms, so those six or seven pounds don’t include any of the oxygen in CO2.

    • R C Dean

      So where did that carbon in fossil fuels come from originally, anyway?

  9. rhywun

    President Biden’s campaign jumped on the comment, with a spokesperson saying it shows that former President Trump’s allies are “dreaming of a violent revolution to destroy the very idea of America.”

    Pay no attention to the Team Blue-driven Summer of Love with an actual body count behind the curtain.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      The Summer of Love in 2020 is what the guy was referring to when he said it would be bloodless if the left lets it.

  10. The Late P Brooks

    Gasoline is mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms, so those six or seven pounds don’t include any of the oxygen in CO2.

    Okay, fine. We’re all gonna die.

    • Ted S.

      Fuck the attitude of “I don’t like the greenies; therefore nothing they say can possibly be factually correct.”

      • Raven Nation

        What are you? Some kind of commie?

    • Suthenboy

      I underestimated the amount of oxygen needed. Still, it doesnt mean anything.

      • Ted S.

        One carbon atom is 12 amu and each oxygen atom is 16 amu.

      • Tres Cool

        14:1 I think is still stochiometric for ICE engines.

    • Fourscore

      But I’ll die with the AC on, at least.

  11. The Late P Brooks

    For the Biden campaign, the comments were an opportunity to advance one of its core messages: that Trump is a threat to democracy.

    “248 years ago tomorrow America declared independence from a tyrannical king, and now Donald Trump and his allies want to make him one at our expense,” Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer said in a statement. “On January 6, they proudly stormed our Capitol to overturn an election Donald Trump lost fair and square – something not even the Confederacy was able to accomplish – now they are dreaming of a violent revolution to destroy the very idea of America.”

    We’re going to go broke paying the gas bill.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      That’s some retarded shit. How many people died during the War Between the States? Definitely on the upside of one.

  12. The Late P Brooks

    Fuck the attitude of “I don’t like the greenies; therefore nothing they say can possibly be factually correct.”

    Factually correct non sequiturs annoy me. I suppose I should just docilely accept the assertion that CO2 is as lethal as Zyklon B at face value.

    • Ted S.

      Except that your first reaction was to treat it as factually incorrect.

      • Suthenboy

        Well Ted, if you catch someone lying 10,000 times in a row over the course of 50 years it is not unreasonable to stop wasting time and getting lost in the weeds trying to parse everything they say after that. One just assumes they are being disingenuous again and you stop listening to them.

  13. The Late P Brooks

    I read that statement (incorrectly) as an assertion that burning gasoline releases 19 pounds of CARBON, since they ceaselessly harp on CARBON BAAAAAD.

    • R.J.

      Pull my finger. I’ll show you 19 pounds of carbon.

    Whatever your gardening fetish entails, I dare say it’s a dick move.

    Something flakes out in the datacenter and I get called at 8pm on a saturday to bring up one service.

      Well, I broke out the Old Krupnik to mellow a bit.

      (Old is part of the name on the bottle, it is distinct from the kind without Old, just sold as Krupnik, they do not taste the same).

    Bury me beneath the west side bleachers

    LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A University of Nebraska regent has proposed a way for lifelong Cornhusker fans to carry their support into the afterlife.

    When Memorial Stadium undergoes its next renovation, Regent Barbara Weitz of Omaha suggested building a columbarium under the football field where departed fans can have their ashes inurned.

    The idea might be dead on arrival. Her fellow regents laughed at the proposal at a recent meeting.

    Frankly, I thought every school did something like this. Maybe it’s just an SEC thing.

      You can put Gary Gensler there now. No need to wait until he is dead.

      They should mix their ashes into the concrete.

      Would you let Joe drive your kids to school? If the answer is No than how could you expect him to steer the country.

    Fireworks every day this week here in southern NH.

    • The Bearded Hobbit

      Not a peep all week long here in NNM. People are finally figuring out that you don’t set off fireworks in the middle of the forest.

    • Ownbestenemy

      We had a great view. We were told because of the weather on the 3rd/4th that the 5th and 6th (and now the 7th) will have a lot of fireworks. Next year I will design a controller to do a show.

    Good morning, lurkers! It’s beautiful out here at Tranq Base today.

    Last night after eating almost all of a DELICIOUS barbecued pork steak, I nodded off in front of Expedition Unknown. Last I knew, Josh was trying to learn how to make stone tools in South Africa a la early hominids, then he was looking for Captain Morgan’s sunken ship off the coast of Panama.

    Did I miss anything in real Glib life?

    Still hot(-ish) in mid-Michigan, regrettably. A 10 degree drop, or a persistent heavy cloud layer, would be most welcome.

    A ride on the Trans Europe Express might be a nice treat. Except, Europe ;-\

    • Gender Traitor

      Good morning, Beau! I should have started some of the week’s laundry yesterday, but I was preoccupied by going out and looking for a nice hanging basket of flowers for my sister’s birthday…and then it was time for my only-allow-myself-on-Saturday-afternoon nap…and then it was time for dinner…
