Its always tough to follow a Hat & Hair episode. I mourn for the rest of the world who has not lived through our wonderful alternate reality. Here are some fun links to get you talking.
Florida Woman resigns from city council after being accused of non-consensual face-licking. Apparently, this is the final act in a long-running feud.
Cops who shot armed security guard in back will not face charges. Fuck.
Brits give two-fingered salute to EC President. He must be a secret Brexiter.
Greeks also taking the piss out of EU. The Greek Health Minister smokes when he drinks! Reeeeee!
How about a little Western Swing in honor of the Greeks.

Tusk’s ‘place in hell’ remark for Brexit advocates stirs backlash
A certain Prosecutors ears perk up…
A link to Aljazeera?
Well, it’s better than EF.
Al Jazeera > Democratic Underground
I have no comment.
So… Hmmm…
Tusk’s place in hell should be right next to Rumors.
I did not see that one coming.
I had something I wanted to bring up, now I can’t remember it.

I was trying to remember.
I still haven’t, so I figure I forgot.

“Whether someone smokes or not is not a matter of free will. When it happens in a public space, it’s an infringement of human rights because those around him have the right to breathe clean air,”
Sigh…. It’s stuff like this that makes me think that maybe we would be better off with an Aristocracy. At least then they wouldn’t have an excuse to be so borish and ill-educated.
I don’t like this crop of aristo candidates. Decapitate the lot and find me a new set.
Look I’m just trying to give you second hand Parkinson’s protection.
Ranking of rights in this scenario:
1) Property owner’s rights
2) Lessor’s rights as granted by property owner
3) Individual’s right to act as long as it is in scope of (1) and (2)’s grants
Note that (3) could be to smoke if allowed by owner and lessor, or (3) could be right to leave if they don’t like the way it is operated. There’s no fucking right to clean air in a private establishment that you’re voluntarily patronizing.
As 1) I would freely grant 4), the right to fuck right off.
I am now going to imagine all smokers shooting out Cenobite chains leashing everyone in their vicinity close to them whenever they are smoking.
Cue C.S. Fucking Lewis.
You can at least partially blame this on the idea of private businesses being “legally” considered public accommodations, which is conflated with public spaces.
While the urge to jump on the “there oughta be a law” wagon is strong, it might be lessened if this horseshit weren’t enshrined into

“The EU is first and foremost a peace project. We will not gamble with peace or put a sell-by date on reconciliation,” Tusk said.
“This is why we insist on the backstop. Give us a believable guarantee for peace in Northern Ireland and the UK will leave the EU as a trusted friend,” he added.
Or else… what?
I saw that “special place in Hell” quote earlier, but I had no clue who this Tusk person was. I had assumed he was some sort of British remainer.
Or else the UK will leave the EU on WTO terms and the Eurocrats will cut off their own noses to spite them, leading more countries to realize the Eurozone is not for them…
We are a peaceful people. You wouldn’t want to see us when were angry, would you?

“as rapper Kurtis Blow”
My wife and I once went to a Halloween party (not in blackface mind you) as Milli Vanilla.
A 24-page report released by Alabama’s attorney general concludes the unnamed officer who shot Bradford “reasonably exercised” his official duties during the three-second encounter.
Well it seems he should be awarded then. Lets have his name so everyone can know who this upstanding gentleman who “reasonably exercised” his duties was.
maybe we would be better off with an Aristocracy. At least then they wouldn’t have an excuse to be so borish and ill-educated.
They could at least fall back on the congenital imbecility defense.
I have no idea who this is.

That’s the daughter of Perseus, you Philistine!
He and his wife were awesome on Veronica Mars.
One of Medusa’s snakes bit her on the mouth.
Of all the surgeries and enhancements, fish mouth is the worst.
I really don’t get it. It’s disturbing.
One of my gym friends turned 40 and started botoxing and fish-mouthing. She would have aged into a beautiful older woman, but now is starting to look a little freaky.
Sad.
Pics?
Her mother was bit by the same snake.
I’m morbidly fascinated to know how daddy and mommy helped shape her into the kind of girl who shows her tits on instagram.
Yes! We should study this so we can encourage this sort of behavior!
No nips no foul.
And really, she showed about as much as a swimsuit would. Bet she had pasties underneath, too.
What a tease.
Yeah, but what was on under the pasties?!?
/panting
I’m sure you can get the – er – inside scoop from pretty much any stripper in your area.

Cops who shot armed security guard in back will not face charges.
I forget the details, but this was at least manslaughter, right?
Man shoots and injures two people in mall, runs off. Security guard takes out gun, because, you know, he’s a fucking security guard, and Alabama is an open carry state anyways.Cop shoots him in the back.
It’s murder if you’re not a cop, but Article F, Section Y, Subsection T, Clause W of the relevant law says it’s different if you wear the right costume.
He wasn’t a security guard, at least not at that mall. There’s a video, you can see him backpedaling after the gunshots, then he pulls out a gun and starts running towards the shooting. The cops are coming up behind him and one of them shoots him in the back as he’s running with the gun. They thought he was the shooter.
And if he had shot a plainclothes cop in the back who was running toward a shooting, he’d have gotten off, too?
Not likely. But facts are facts.
So, good shoot?
Of course not.
I don’t know but my first reaction was also to head out into the street and burn American flags. Wait… what?
Oh, BLM. I get it now.
“It’s shameful! It’s shameful! This guy knows nothing about health,” Kathimerini quoted Andriukaitis as saying.

Oh, shut up you nanny-tyrant pussy.
I’m pretty sure I don’t smoke “as a matter of free will”.
Good, sober (as if) and just men and (mythical) women of the Glibs, I require some of you to render a judgement.
Six months ago, Naptown Bill and I laid a bet (not in the fun way) on the topic of deplatforming and Alex Jones (remember when Alex Jones was a thing?)
The terms were:
So far the only place I found him was BitChute with 30360 subscribers as of today.
Can a jury be formed to determine who donates? $50 is $50 after all…
I’m having trouble sifting through all the void conditions.
What are you actually betting on?
You are excused jury duty.
I second the confusion. I vote you both pay $50…to Alex Jones.
Sigh…
NB: Ok, so a win for me is InfoWars more or less as-is on an alternative outlet with 1.2 mil or more subscribers?
Also none of the ‘void’ conditions apply anyway.
As your lawyer, I’ll gladly accept a $75 retainer to sort this out for you.
And only charge you for contingency fees, of course.
I’m confused too. Just send me 50 bucks.
To hell with the void conditions, what’s with “ ”?
So, AJ has to have 1) a site other than inforwars.com for his video distribution, and 2) 1.2M subscriber equivalents NOT counting those on infowars.com?
Yes.
Well, if he’s only on bitchute, and not on minds, vimeo, full30, tiktok or chaturbate, then it looks like you won.
Some of those sites look kind of sketchy.
Dammit, I forgot to check chaturbate. BRB
(he got booted of Vimeo, but minds didn’t occur to me -that’s why I asked for a jury!)
You both lose just because of the way the bet is written in the first place.
What started this? Did NB think deplatforming ultimately wouldn’t matter?
And the deplatforming continues: Facebook removes 22 more pages connected to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and InfoWars
Their editing skills are almost as good as Soviet photographers’.
Overall, arguing utility of major providers and how a hugely popular content creator being booted of a platform is an opportunity for a new entrant to rise and scoop all those customers. With me contending that no, no one cares if hard-core zealots go to new platform to get their InfoWars, the goal was to remove normies from having easy access to it, either directly (subscribers) or through their social media circle sharing it.
If you want full context it’s in a Libertarianism basics: a classic thought experiment by Pie, because fuck topic, this is glibs.com!
I checked out the original thread. Looks like you win.
I also agree that the goal is to remove it from the mainstream.
Pan wins $50. I remember the context of this bet.
To be precise, site wins $50, all I get is the pleasure of being right on a subject I hoped to be wrong.
Yes, betting on an outcome you prefer not to happen is a perfectly valid hedging strategy I learned from watching Canucks in playoffs.
non-consensual face-licking
Brad Marchand should be careful the next time he plays in Tampa.
I still can’t believe someone didn’t go Tim McCracken on his ass and knock out what’s left of his real teeth. The league should have thrown the book at him. It was embarrassing.
That’s his bad-boy shtick. Throwing the book at him would just encourage more of it.
YMWC
What’s “YMWC”?
From the context, it must be “Young Man With Candy” (you have to read the article, or at least the link description).
I did and I didn’t get the acronym
I guess Young Man With Candy.
OK, no need to guess
To be fair, a certain someone *cough*OMWC*cough* would consider 23 to be pretty old.
I’m not even sure what to make of this.
Man wanted to see video of 13 year old being raped before saving her.
Wow that is a bizarre story. Once again, dude should have followed the rule of never have any contact with children you are not related to.
Or children you ARE related to.
/boy named sue
Want to hear something else that’s fucked up?
The guy who solicited the video will likely face a much stiffer jail sentence than the father who raped her.
Now that is a disturbing thought.
This sets off my, “Shits not right” Alarm.

Good and hard
IMF economists Ruchir Agarwal and Signe Krogstrup said that dividing the monetary base into two separate currencies — cash and electronic money — could allow rates to be cut even deeper below zero. E-money would pay whatever the policy rate is and cash would have an exchange rate against the e-cash, they wrote.
The key is the conversion rate since that would let cash depreciate at the same pace as the negative interest rate on e-money. Shops would also start advertising prices in e-money and cash separately.
“Cash would thereby be losing value both in terms of goods and in terms of e-money, and there would be no benefit to holding cash relative to bank deposits,” Agarwal and Krogstrup said. “This dual local currency system would allow the central bank to implement as negative an interest rate as necessary for countering a recession, without triggering any large-scale substitutions into cash.”
Genius. “We’ll debase the currency, by hook or by crook.”
what happens when people stop using your money?
They want to punish people for saving, so they can addict people to the state.
Holy fuck, they really hate Brexit in EU.
Brexit risk for UK aid as Swiss cut off from EU funding
Why bring UK agencies into a story about Swiss agencies getting defunded? To sow fear in hopes they’ll stop it? Naaaah, BBC is a totally neutral news agency.
No, it’s a threat towards Ngos based in the UK
“Hold it! The next country that makes a move, the NGO gets it!”
How much do I have to move for 10 NGOs to get it behind the ear?
B-I-NGO
NGOs shouldn’t be getting one cent of state aid anyway.
Yes, what part of “Non-Government Organization” says they should be funded by government?
You can’t be both, sweeties.
That’s why a lot of policy wonks refer to them as QuaNGOs.
I think quangos are slightly different from that. They’re not charities like NGOs style themselves, but administrative bodies that are theoretically outside the government, but not really.
Difference between “pure” and “Quasi” NGO is whether government (officially) appoints some of the people who run it.
Part where government doesn’t appoint people or tell them what to do (de jure, of course). They take money from all sources and do with it as they please.
t explains that as from 1 January this year, Swiss agencies will no longer be eligible for funding. The reason: there is no longer “a suitable legal basis” to award money to organisations not based in the EU.
Playing with fire here. Someone might wonder why they were funding them to begin with. And then wonder why they’re funding any agencies at all…. yeah right. No one in Europe is going to pull that statist cock out of their mouth and wonder that.
Nothing says neutral like “government-owned entity”.
The Swiss are being ‘neutral’ like they did during the war. They know how to get things without being directly involved.
Sign me up for that gig.
Sorry, our own Swiss Servator beat you to it.

a href=”https://www.thedailybeast.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-trump-trolled-himself-with-state-of-the-union-shout-out-to-female-reps”>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Trump ‘Trolled Himself’ With State of the Union Shout-Out to Female Reps
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told TMZ Tuesday night that President Donald Trump inadvertently “trolled himself” during his first State of the Union address since Democrats retook the House. When the president declared that America has “more women serving in Congress than at any time before,” Ocasio-Cortez said she and her fellow women in the Democratic caucus couldn’t help but “laugh” because “almost all the women are on the Democratic side so I don’t think he realized the irony of what he was saying.” The president also did not expect the reaction he received from the Democratic side of the aisle when he boasted, “No one has benefited more from our thriving economy than women, who have filled 58 percent of the newly created jobs last year.” After the female Democrats cheered that line, Trump ad-libbed, “You weren’t supposed to do that.”
Okay.
Help! Can I get a fairy!?
Gilmore? Is that you?
I’m guessing she doesn’t realize that after not cheering for blacks or hispanics gaining jobs, this isn’t going to look good.
At the rate this week is going, I expect she’ll be outed for a racist Halloween costume before it ends.
Well, socialists live in a never-ending vortex of empty sophistry and constant rewriting of reality.
So not surprised she’d try and spin this. They talk as if they’re in a high school class. ‘And like, we were all like wtf? when the teacher, like, said we failed the test and that we were, like, um stoopid. But the joke, like, was on the teacher because he made fun of us and that’s not right!’
This is how I decode that idiot.
So, because “almost all the women are on the Democratic side” he was stupid to congratulate you? Projection.
It’s truly pathetic. Clearly he was trolling them. But she says “nuh uh, he trolled himself!”

Yes.

“Ristretto Roasters Closes NW Portland Store Amid Controversy
This news comes exactly one week after the company went through a public (now-deleted) meltdown on Twitter, orchestrated by Johnson’s spouse, Nancy Rommelmann. Rommelmann used Ristretto’s Twitter account to personally attack Camila Coddou, a former employee who had spoken out against Rommelmann’s web series that challenges women’s allegations of sexual assault.
Coddou was one of thirty former and current Ristretto employees who sent a letter to media in early January, which drew attention to Rommelmann’s victim-blaming project and raised concerns with her managing Ristretto employees who may be victims of sexual assault.
Rommelmann has expressed frustration about employees taking out their opposition to her project on Ristretto Roasters, since she claims she’s not involved in her husband’s company.”

Why is there “and current” in that? Send a letter like that and you’ve self selected yourself for being fired for cause.

That sucks for that small business and this “woke” boycott crazy is stupid on so many levels. But, maybe “boofing truther” libertarians should take a little time at self reflection and consider how their own need to be accepted allowed them to peddle the same “believe all women” nonsense just a few months back. They seem like they’re part of the problem, so maybe the pot shouldn’t call the kettle black.

Well, I mean, not that I expected Reason writers (I don’t think she was ever an editor? Although I could be wrong on that) to be actual libertarians, but jeez, you’d at least expect a passing familiarity with the jargon.
Especially when that jargon is the NAP which is probably one of the most common phrases employed

A couple of years ago I sat next to Reason Foundation President David Nott at a Reason dinner event.
During our conversation he asked me what “NAP” meant as well.
Even when I said what NAP stood for he still looked confused, and quickly moved on to a different topic.
Oh, Lord
You’re shitting me.
He’s not. I was one of the recipients of the email that the good doctor sent out right after he got home from that convention.
Honestly, I learned much more from the mises guys than I did from the reason guys. Reason has always been a shallow place.
On second thought, let’s not go to LA. ‘Tis a shallow place.
Well, to be fair, they all know that the Cocktail Party is.
I keep reading that as “Y. A. Tittle”.
Am I missing some sarcasm, or did Cathy Young truly not know what the NAP is?
“Yes, Cathy, the NAP is this weird principle that would prevent you from writing about starting a war for lolz. You probably wouldn’t like it.”
Cathy’s valley girl persona and voice definitely violate the NAP.
So all it takes for Welch to get on a point with no bullshit excuses is to gore his particular ox? I honestly didn’t think he had it in him.

She won’t do these things, but you should (except for when she makes the big sacrifice of eating a banana for breakfast).
I’m sure she got last night’s outfit at a thrift shop.
hmmm surprised she didn’t say: “And give me all your money so i can force everyone to use Green Energy
It’s the perfect plan. Afterwards, there will be neither money nor energy.
Don’t worry, she’ll write a blurb on how to enjoy rolling blackouts while eating your peanut butter banana.
Her other tips:
-Start incorporating thrift, consignment & second-hand clothes in your wardrobe (host a clothing swap w/ friends for a no-spend option)
– Walk, bike, & use public transit more often
– Bring your own bag/coffee mug. It’s okay if you forget, 1x/week is still a win
IOW, better start practicing living in poverty.
Walking releases more CO2 than driving. Why does she hate the earth?
Besides the public transit part, I do all of that. Heck, baby trshmnstr is basically only wearing hand me downs from other kids at church.
Do I get climate slush fund money now?
Why do you just off yourself and give Mother Gaia a break?

“OK class, here’s a list of questions you’re going to ask the Congresscreature during her visit.”

reporter: Are there any more documents .. forms like this out there that you have listed yourself as that could come out?
Warren: this is who I grew up believing with my brothers, this is our family story, it’s all consistent …
2
3:59 PM – Feb 6, 2019
Lefties are tripping over themselves trying to defend her. It was a family legend, she had no way of knowing, it predates DNA testing… okay, fine. Even if all that is true, she can’t point to any tribal affiliation. We know that because if she had even distant family members in the tribe, she’d tout the fact. She can’t because she doesn’t. So even excusing her ignorance, and giving her the benefit of the doubt that she genuinely believed herself descended from Natives rather than using the fiction to advance her career (something I find dubious, but whatever), she never had any reason to claim membership in a tribe! This would be like a twenty-first century Namibian transplant claiming he suffered under Jim Crow, only sillier because Warren is indistinguishable from any other white lady. Her attachment to Native Americans is about as tenuous and every bit as ridiculous as white trash Americans claiming they’re Irish. Only it’s much more cynical and, ahem, “problematic” given the social cues and progressive bona fides that Native American membership would have afforded her.
I wouldn’t have a problem with her claiming to be Native American if it didn’t come with some career enhancing benefits. We all probably have some family legends that aren’t true, but most of them won’t land us a professorship at Harvard.
Remember she claimed her mother and father’s marriage was prohibited by grandparents because her mothers Indian blood lines.
1/1064 Indian blood made her parents ekope, or something like that.
^This^
Other than a family legend, what “Indian experiences” did she have? She didn’t live on the res. She didn’t go to some shitty Indian res school. She looks about as white as you can get, so she didn’t have anyone yell slurs at her on the street.
The cheek to claim to be a minority on those forms from back in the day is astounding. How does someone do that?
The GOP should try to figure out what real Indian didn’t get a scholarship or teaching job because Warren got it instead.
Well, she did contribute to that “Pow Wow Chow” cookbook
The cheek to claim to be a minority
I need some narrow gaze over here!
I dunno, is the University of Houston that much better?

European Council President Donald Tusk has said he had been “wondering what that special place in hell looks like for those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it out safely”.
Carry it out safely? Declare sovereignty and let everything else come later. You have the backing of the US as an old ally. Stop pussy-footing.

@Nigel_Farage
After Brexit we will be free of unelected, arrogant bullies like you and run our own country.
Sounds more like heaven to me.
Who could’ve guessed that Nigel is such a Nazi…
“Carry it out safely?”
To be fair, US states were asked the same question when they legalized marijuana and they ignored it. Now look at how you can’t even go outside in those states without having your face eaten off by reefer maddened zombies. Maybe the Euros don’t want their faces eaten off?
Most of Twitter.
I’ve seen plenty of Internet chatter about some of the more notable aspects of last night’s State of the Union, such as Trump’s rebuke of Socialism, but not much in the way of discussion about his rebuke of “foolish wars.” Full quote:
“An economic miracle is taking place in the United States — and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics, or ridiculous partisan investigations. If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesn’t work that way. We must be united at home in order to defeat our adversaries abroad.”
I took his reference to wars to be literal wars in other countries, and not a metaphor for partisan battles. If so, that’s sorta big. It would be a full-on rebuke of that bullshit McConnell amendment on the proposed pull-out of Syria and Afghanistan. Maybe I’m being optimistic.
If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation.
Sounds like a 2020 bumper sticker.
Democrats taking cues from the KoolAid Man.
Grisham decided, early on, to offer her own “rebuttal” to Trump’s State of the Union speech, specifically addressing Trump’s call for greater border security, and an extended border wall between the United States and Mexico that would stretch across the lower border of her state.
It was a tough call give then competitors — Sen. Kamala Harris’s (D-CA) awkward pre-buttal, former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’s speech in front of the motionless mannequins from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall,” and Bernie Sanders’ stuttering Facebook live — but Grisham may have released the most bizarre “rebuttal” of the night.
That’s right. Grisham is certainly “breaking down walls,” but less in a policy sense and more in a “Kool Aid man” sense. Her “rebuttal” ad is a solid thirty seconds of Grisham literally running through walls.
Uh huh…
On Wednesday, Grisham took a more concrete approach the President’s plan, signaling that she no longer intends to allow New Mexico’s National Guard troops to protect the southern border, and that she will recall the National Guard immediately.
NPR reports that “Grisham has ordered the majority of National Guard troops deployed at her state’s Southern border to withdraw, condemning what she called a ‘charade of border fear-mongering’ by President Trump, who has warned of an immigration emergency in the region.”
I am curious about the legality here. National Guard is a federal entity, not a State Militia.
Well, sort of. Trump could force the issue by federalizing the New Mexico Guard, but then there would be limits on what exactly they could actually do at the border due to the Posse Comitatus Act. If the Guard is not federalized, but rather acting at the direction of a state governor at the request of the federal government, their powers are broader.
It is both. The NMNG can be mobilized by the state gov. In that case it is Title 32 and can conduct direct law enforcement and other actions, but it paid for by state funds. Sometimes the Feds reimburse those funds. The NMNG can also be mobilized by the president and upon mobilization becomes a Federal force paid for with fed dollars. In this case in can’t perform direct law enforcement since it is now a Title 10 force.
Placing concertina wire is not direct law enforcement, arresting suspected illegal aliens is direct law enforcement.
To really gum up your mind, different parts of the NMNG can both be called up under the state and fed and then individual members may and may not conduct direct law enforcement depending on who issued their mobilization orders.
“I’m the Juggernaut, bitch!”
It’s a Dodge!
The whole modern world has divided itself into conservatives and progressives. The business of progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types – – the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins.
– GK Chesterton
The man was full of prophetic quotes. Michael Malice and Tom Woods were trashing him and Distributists on Malice’s “Your Welcome” program a couple of weeks back. They had good reasons to
Distributism as a social goal is much better than Distributism as a governmental philosophy.
Immediate family as base social unit? There’s a lot there to like.
Broad base of wealth and property ownership? Yeah, can’t complain about that.
Making laws that enforce those things by law? Scary dystopian.
Yeah, I need to get into reading more of his actual writings on the topic (him and Belloc) but the references to anti-capitalism in context that I’ve seen in quotes are kinda weird. (Although I think in some cases it is more period-specific – much like the anarchists of the period that show up in his work and folks like Joseph Conrad)
Just remember this- Chesterton and Belloc are actual “conservatives” as in the old “Tory”. They reject the Enlightenment and liberalism in general. Once you accept that their arguments make more sense. Some of the criticism of them is unfair. Hayek even praised Belloc’s book “The Servile State” where he predicted that the welfare state would lead to the moral degeneration of recipients and the government’s authority will begin to encroach on all aspects of life in the name of social welfare.
Anyway, I’m looking for a quote from Orthodoxy that the business jargon thread from the last article reminded me about. I stumbled across the above quote, but I haven’t struck paydirt yet.
Found it

Leon Bourgeois? Dead giveaway there.
Hide ya kids. Hide ya wife. Cuz er’body blackface out hur.
ichmond, Va. (AP) — The political crisis in Virginia exploded Wednesday when the state’s attorney general confessed to putting on blackface in the 1980s and a woman went public with detailed allegations of sexual assault against the lieutenant governor.
With Gov. Ralph Northam’s career already hanging by a thread over a racist photo in his 1984 medical school yearbook, the day’s developments threatened to take down all three of Virginia’s top elected officials, all of them Democrats.
The twin developments began with Attorney General Mark Herring issuing a statement saying he wore brown makeup and a wig in 1980 to look like a rapper during a party as a 19-year-old student at the University of Virginia.
Herring — who has been among those calling on Northam to resign — said he was “deeply, deeply sorry for the pain that I cause with this revelation.” He said that in the days ahead, “honest conversations and discussions will make it clear whether I can or should continue to serve as attorney general.”
Really, this should be a non-issue. But there is a sweet, delicious irony here.
I once dressed, for Halloween, as “Chief Rain in the Face” ( Indian headress and raincoat). To my credit, I never tried to advance my career by putting “American Indian” on any applications.
I’ve often been tempted to check “Native American” on things like the census since I am, in fact, a native of America.
Yes.
Agreed that it’s a non-issue, and as much as I hate myself for it I can’t help but feel a little bit of schadenfreude. The only really serious issue is whether or not the lieutenant governor actually did assault that woman. And, for the record, I don’t think his saying, “Fuck that bitch” is an issue, either; if he did it, the rape bit overshadows crass language, and if he didn’t I can understand the language and the sentiment.
I’m waiting for the next political crisis to be over problematic baby pictures.
Nice to see the Virginia Democrats have not forsaken their roots..
You mean by dressing up as Kunta Kinte’?
Not blackface, dark makeup.

Well there’s a really good set of movies going on lately – for a Feb.
Caught “How to Steal a Million” at the Alamo on Monday night (classic Hepburn flicks).
Going to go see “Cold War” on Sat and “Stan and Ollie” on Sunday.
Then next Friday is “Alita”, and that Monday the next Hepburn flick “Wait Until Dark” at the Alamo. Will probably try and catch the Lego movie during that 4 day weekend too.
Next month, our Alamo manager is trying to get a series of Marilyn Monroe restorations before Disney/Fox shut the vault doors.
(classic Hepburn flicks)
Sigh…
Granted those may not be the ultimates – had a blast with “Charade” last week. They’re playing “Two for the road” next week – but I’m not really in the mood for that kinda flick lately. Missed “Roman Holiday” and skipping “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”
I’d rather watch classic Kate Hepburn pics. Pat and Mike, Woman of the Year, Adam’s Rib, Desk Set, The Philadelphia Story, etc.
Well yeah….if they played stuff like that in the local theater, I’d check it out too. But I’ll take what I can get when it comes to opportunities to watch stuff on the big screen. Seems like the franchise manager has some options for local programming – normally presents each of the special screenings – gonna try reaching out to him for some other options.
First time is tragedy, second time is farce. OK, OK, so the first time was farce too, but still…..

“Ambition on such a scale always draws naysaying from the timid, the cynical and the economically uninformed”
Just dispense with the argument all together and go straight to the ad hominems. Sounds legit.
They have to, because if you actually dig into this stuff you find out it’s complete horseshit from start to finish. The world isn’t going to end in 12 years, and the trillions they want Americans to throw away on this fantasy wouldn’t do jack shit to impact the world’s climate even if it was.
We could reduce our emissions to zero tomorrow and it would do nothing. Mostly because India/China, and the third world for that matter, would more than make up for it pretty quickly.
Yes, and if the lunatics running the DNC asylum think those countries are going to give up their dreams of joining the ranks of wealthy nations and the lifestyle that comes with it, they’re stupider than I thought they were.
Are they really stupid or do they just want money and power?
Yes.

If only we had that in practice.
toward something fairer and more democratic
Define “fair”. And democracy is anything but inherently moral or fair.
I’m having a hard time thinking of anything more fair and democratic than a society made of individuals who only interact with one another voluntarily. But I’m sure these experts know better, and forcing people to do things against their will somehow turn out to be even more fair.
It’s finally going to happen!

Great new piece by KDW: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/02/another-way-to-universal-health-care/
Much better summary/suggestions than most of the pieces out there – although I think it should be necessary to list procedure prices up front permitting informed decisions.
Because of their numbers, the 62,000 employees of Coca-Cola were able to get a pretty good group deal for themselves.
Are they actually getting a deal, or is Coca Cola selfinsuring with the nominal insurance company being little more than a claims administrator and provider/discount arranger?
The latter, I would bet.

I should point out that Spencer was saying this in 1884, before the Home Rule split, WWI or the Great Depression. Classical liberalism was in serious trouble before most think…
Spencer connects Liberalism to urbanization. Interesting considering how urban politics look today…
In a footnote Spencer speculated that Tories and Liberals might change places:
Maybe it’s me, but why would this generate anything but scorn and derision for Rob O’Rourke?

Hey, it’s what Canadians wanted when “we” voted in the then-43-year-old Trudeau back in 2015.

President Tom Cruise? He can help fix the budget by charging $5 million and upwards to attend international conferences.

President Cruise doesn’t sound too bad.
Sooooooooo pathetic.
Don’t deadname him, shitlord.
Hey Spud- I think you mentioned Doc Thompson earlier.
I used to listen to him on 700 WLW, until he got fired. At that time, he was on his honeymoon with his wife, who as an anchor on a station in Dayton, when Clear Channel called him and told him ‘his services were no longer needed’. Classy.
He hosted The Morning Blaze for Glenn Beck for five years and then started Mojo50.com, a streaming radio station full of Libertarian hosted shows last fall. The platform will go on but it was his vision that made it happen. A special talent and a true class act.
He had the 9am-noon slot on WLW for a couple years. I enjoyed listenting to him.
Fun fact- he got the name “Doc” cause he was a nurse. Actual RN, I think.

I was a fan.
One of my bosses bought me this for my office.
Hello.
Yeah. Small company. No HR department and the three women who worked there were the coolest.
Nice.
When my former company hired a head of HR, I was worried the place was going to hell.
It turns out, the woman they hired has a thick skin, is cynical, and is politically incorrect. I don’t think she’d approve of girly pics around the office, but she’s pretty easy-going about certain things. Also, according to some managers, she’s been a great help with some actual people problems.
Now that we’ve been acquired by a large tech company whose name I shall not mention, I worry about what will happen when she leaves. I don’t see her sticking around for very long.
We had a bunch of Hollywood stuff. It was equal opportunity. One of the women had a cool James Dean print.
Thanks!
I went on a smoke alarm call many years ago and it turned out to be the home of an elderly photographer who’s house was filled with original photos of Marylin he had taken back in the day. Just some stunning photos.
Apparently, her personal hygiene wasn’t the best…
I would have helped her scrub down. No problem.
Absolutely.
I cracked open a bottle of Wild Blueberry Wine from Rossignol in PEI. It’s been sitting in my wine rack for a year and a half. It still tastes good. We’ll see if I’m sick tomorrow. If not, I’ll finish off the bottle tomorrow night.
Saw your latest win on the other thing. I hope you write it up.
I probably will.
There’s another win on its way, I think. I paid the guy. I haven’t received tracking information. Watch, it’ll be left at my door (pre-1899 receiver, so antique under Federal law) tomorrow while the boiler guys are replacing my boiler.
So, if the top three guys in Virginia are forced to resign, number four in line is a Republican who won by having his name drawn out of a hat after a tied election.
We live in the best timeline.
Not quite. The best timeline includes Senator Kid Rock.

Hello CPRM. Sorry, my evening post hasn’t posted yet. Not sure what kind of information you seek in relation to my comments about Obama’s family origins. Probably 99% of what I know comes from investigative files I had access to when I worked in intelligence. Obama was born in Indonesia of Indonesian parents. His father started the Subud cult, a radical Muslim/Communist cult, with members in over sixty countries (including Anne Dunham and Loretta Fuddy in Hawaii). His father was Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwijojo. During the 1960s Globalist NWO agents, embedded in federal agencies and both political parties (mainly the far leftist Democrats), searched many foreign countries for young children with certain personality traits to be brought to the U.S. and developed into Manchurian Candidate-style operatives to be planted in political offices. One such child was Obama, who was brought into the country by Anne Dunham who was a CIA operative. Loretta Fuddy, who worked in Hawaiian State records helped forge Obama’s second phony birth certificate. They recruited Barack Obama (Sr) from Kenya and paid him $4000 (a fortune for him then) to sign a phony birth certificate claiming he was Barry’s father. After high school, Obama used his Indonesian birth certificate to secure a foreign college student status as Barry Saetoro. NWO operatives from the CIA and FBI helped establish phony law degrees for Obama (and later his phony wife Michael). He went to live in Chicago after college with handlers and mentors Saul Alinski(“Rules for Radicals’), Frank Marshall Davis(American Communist Party), Rev Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton(all radical Black Panthers). As he was being groomed to be ‘appointed’ as an Illinois senator he was taken care of by crime figure Tony Rizzo. His gay, crack smoking, communist background was cleaned up, and he was paired up with transsexual wife, Michelle (ne Michael Robinson) and two adopted female children. Both his elections were frauds (there were no real elections in 2008 or 2012). The NWO Globalists had won a takeover of our nation begun in the 1960 after the assassination of JFK and finally completed in 2008 with the election of Obama (Soebarkah), an Indonesian plant who is not even a U.S. citizen, does not have a real birth certificate, does not have a real Social Security account, does not have real college degrees, is completely ineligible to run for public office (an illegal alien). I know this all probably sounds so incredible as to be quite impossible, but it is the absolute truth. I have seen the truth. My life was threatened when I worked with others to try and stop it. They had almost succeeded in this evil, global plan. Enough people woke up to the reality last year and prevented another stolen election. Pray we can somehow get this cleaned up and return our nation to the constitutional republic our forefathers intended it to be. You can research all of these things by digging around on the net. Hope this helps you understand where we are at. Spread the word. We are still far from being out of danger!!!

We’ll get another twelventy seasons of fucking BBT, but God help us if Dirk Gently got a third season.
I don’t think he even got a third Book. So why should TV be any different?
Well, none of his books took place in Middleton, Anywhere USA, and I was kinda skeptical that top billing was given to Elijah Wood, but it really works. It’s a fun show, which means of course it’s cancelled after two seasons, and fuck me for being so ungrateful that you wish a third had been produced.
There was a third DG novel, one that took part in New Mexico! at least partly. All I remember about it from reading Salmon of Doubt is that Dirk is looking for a half-missing cat named Gusty Winds, and while he’s in a taxi from the Sunport in Albuquerque traveling to Santa Fe, he sees a sign that says “Gusty Winds May Exist.” God damn, talk about things cut short by a season or twenty. Douglas Adams dead at 49 or whatever is an almost unbearable shame. I get he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but he grabbed me in my teenage years and never really let go.

Nailed even.
I loved both of my Suburbans. Plenty of room for the three kids and luggage space to spare. Great road trip cars.
Got a chance to rent a Suburban a couple of years ago for another road trip. I told the Mrs., “They can keep my Blazer. I’m not giving this back.”
So what was it? Blown gasket?
Bent rod.
Mostly likely if it’s not actual damage to the piston.
Limp cam shaft?
Peyronie’s?
With the weather being what it has been and not getting it into a heated garage yet I’m still not sure, I just know it’s bad.
Buzzfeed just trolling at this point?

So, I have a related question (the answer to which I’m too lazy to research): what was the point of the white dresses. I get they were going for the solidarity of the sisterhood, but did they all wear white because they identify as virgins?
They were told they were starring in a sanitary napkin commercial.
Roca-Pads
“if your periods droppin’, we’re catchin’ “
White privilege.
I believe it was something to do with the Suffragettes. They wore white or something. What that has to do with anything happening now…no clue.
I thought it was because white robes were the traditional attire for a coven of Democrats.
^^^^
Blame Hillary.
Also, white is the color of the robes ritual prostitutes put on while at Bohemian Grove.
Damn fine band name
Were they the precursors to The Rockettes?
To break character, it has to with the upcoming 100th anniversary of the women’s vote. (Which actually isn’t until next year, but STEM isn’t a focus for the left)
It doesn’t seem to have worked out all that well for the country.
/snark
Yeah, it doubled the number of morons, idiots, and uniformed voters.
Oh hell, as if the next election isn’t going to be bad enough – toss this in.
So repeal of the 19th amendment will be on the ballot?
I… doubt it. Just a meme the Dems will be using to club the American public over the head for the next year and a half.
So they’ll end up driving it onto the ballot?
Give it up, it’s not going to happen.
Yes, it’s the box that will be marked ‘Donald Trump’!
USA! USA! USA!
Why isn’t this under CPRM? Gah.
Because I didn’t consent to you being under me.
To show solidarity with Wilson Fisk because Daredevil is a fascist?
White is supposed to represent “suffragettes” or some such nonsense. Yeah, I don’t get it either. It’s really just #resist.
They’re trying to get it repealed?
Remember that great bit The Man Show did getting women to sign a petition against “women’s suffrage”?
Good times. Fuck you, Current Day Jimmy Kimmel.
I loved the Man Show. Current Kimmel is a Chuck Schumer cuck.
I wonder if he gives tearful mea culpas about his “misogynist” past, or if he just has one of those get-out-of-jail-free cards they give to certain goodthinkers that means The Man Show never happened.
The latter, I’ve never heard it brought up.
He weeps quietly to himself while Chuck takes him from behind without a reach around.
I’m with CPRM; if anyone had ever called him out on it, I’m sure we would have heard. He is getting possibly the biggest pass of anyone in Hollywood. Is there anyone else who was so “toxicaly masculine” who has now become the darling of some of the very people he mocked only a decade (or two, now?) ago?
If by “it” you mean “the electoral college”, “the second amendment”, oh hell why not “the first amendment” while we’re at it… sure!
I love Minecraft. It tickles that creative urge without requiring, you know, commitment to learning anything useful or difficult.
Hey, your not gonna believe me in where you are in 2010, but Donald freaking Trump is gonna be president. Yeah the guy from the Apprentice. Yeah, just wait a few years, it’s crazy.
My almost 16-year-old son still plays it with his friends. They have the own world where they have built replicas of Big Ben, The Empire State Building and Burj Khalifa. They’ve built stuff from the Simpsons, Adventure Time, Harry Potter, Gravity Falls and a bunch of other shows/movies. There’s also a bunch of amazing original stuff.
I’m doing Revit projects where I’m emulating already built structures from plans. Revit is terrific, but there’s no passion in building shit someone else designed and built already. But I’m building a mage tower in Minecraft, and experimenting with the voxel shapes I can build in. Do I want dormers in the roof? Why not make ’em and decide for myself?
You just like ‘chatting’ with kids, you diddler!
I know there aren’t that many NBA fans on here, but since the Mavs played their Monopoly card and demanded all talented, awkward looking white guys in the league, I decided to start watching again. Holy shit is Luka Doncic amazing. Having a bad shooting night and still making plays everywhere. Kind of excited about what they will look like when KP is added next year.
How’s Alan Iverson doing tonight?
That guy really reminds me of Bird. He knows exactly where to put the pass and knows where all his teammates are without looking. Fun to watch.
Like, he’s not that athletic (relative to NBA players, obviously he’d kill us) but he just sees the code so easily it doesn’t matter. 13/7/8 line at the break. There was one triple double by a teenager before him; he might get his third tonight.
He’s making me want to watch Mav games again. The West is gonna be fun come playoffs. Even Denver has a shot.
“sees the code”
Not a journalist, then?
I am enjoying the NBA, but then again my team is the Warriors. Even so, I think there is some of the best basketball played going on these past years, the emphasis on shooting and a move away from iso ball and towards passing and great shots.
467 comments. You people are troopers.
Also, first!
You’re drunk.
Come on in.
Merci. That’s French for “gracias”.
Well, you were the first one to say “you people”, so that’s something.
Yeah, you people. You know, gays and minorities.
I like this Tulpa.
DJ is no Tulpa. He is a smooth talking, whiskey drinking, cigar smoking, kick-ass, pimp-bot. He just doesn’t visit us very often.
We’re all Tulpa, it is known.
Well, sheyah. Duh!
Thats Tulpae
Fuck off, Tulpa!!!!
you talk to your Mother with that mouth?
I do more than talk with it to Winston’s mother.
“Smooth talking, whisky drinking, cigar smoking” is just what a Tulpa would say to suck me in. Fuck off, Tulpa!
Mike does an HM on Winston’s mother?
So funny.
Long ago I met a “DenverJ” online and he was a very sweet man IRL.
*Looks around shiftily*
What’s it like having your consciousness uploaded to the internet?
Today’s Yomiuri decided to go with a pic of Pelosi checking out Trump’s ass on the front page.

Can you blame her?
If that’s what’s on TV and you don’t have the remote? Nope.
A natural predator always sets its sights on the thickest, slowest, most easily obtainable source of sustenance.
‘Homer sings, “…gasping, they squirmed as Scylla swung them up her crag and into her cavernous mouth she gobbled them up raw, howling and flailing their arms at me.”Scylla’s appearance is horrid beyond reason: four eyes, six necks stretched long like hungry half-feathered chicks, huge, nasty heads, with three rows of ragged, shark teeth in each. Twelve tentacle legs and a cat’s tail with six dog heads blistered out around her waist.’
I had no idea how large Footes Civil War is, glad its a good read….

Yes.
*sniff*
Well. Fine, then.
That sucks. I loved Super Dave.

Goddam wops fucked up Butterfinger. Hey assholes, the current recipe works. You don’t need to fix what isn’t broken in a nonsensical need to put your own stamp on it. WTF did you buy it in the first place?
It’s like those retards at McDonald’s “You know what our customers want? More expensive food that takes longer to prepare! That’ll make them happy and bring in new customers that post things like ‘McDonald’s is for poor people!’ and ‘McDonald’s is ass!’ It’s a win-win situation!”
Yes. Although in McDonald’s case, they could roll back about 30 years of “improvements”, starting with unplugging their microwaves and filling the fryers with beef tallow.
Also, #BringBackOurPies
Modern McDonald’s apple pies are a crime against humanity.
‘filling the fryers with beef tallow.’
Their fries simply aren’t the same since they abandoned that. The industry standard has become nothing more than a ‘meh’.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that the fries suck at all the top fast-food joints now. Was wondering why. It’s gotta be more than “beef tallow” because you don’t need that to make decent fries.
paying to train idiots to do menial tasks and having to pay a ‘living wage’ means you have to cut costs somewhere, the so away goes the training.
Milk chocolate is an abomination. That is all.
This is most offensive thing I’ve ever seen on the internet, you’re a fucking MONSTER!
Seconded.
Burn the Heretic!
Wait, I read that as Chocolate Milk, ginkcuf aixelsid.
Either way is grounds for burning!
*lights flamer*
What mods did you add on the weapons workbench to that flamer? Does it have a bayonet? Which Big Gun Perks do you have?
What Heresey is this? I only deploy the holy Standard Template Constructs when Burning heretics!
I did Big Guns but got to the gatling laser and, hell, is there anything better?
Latest playthrough was commando build, but I cheated myself in a Deadeye-perked combat rifle. Good fun.

Nerdz. *Checks Nexus Mod Manager for new mods*
Burning heretics.
The hell?
It’s like I don’t even know you.
Who hurt you?
First your love for Crocs and now you express hatred for milk chocolate?!

This is why small (l) libertarianism never gains traction.
Rhy, you the man, and all.
But, damn, son…
The new Butterfingers better give me a hard on. I eat candy bars maybe 3-4 times a year.
Old people turn back into children, I know this from experience, so since you’re friends with OMWC you’re not too far off from wanting your stick candies and hard tack again.
Even Tucker is doing it now. Ugh. “Literally” literally doesn’t mean literally anymore.
Welcome to the 90s.
I literally can’t even right now.

Excellent tune. Another in the same vein.
Excellent, but I’m showing my bias here with this one…

Holy shit. Well, thanks for that rabbit hole, buddy.
I’ve been on a blues/bluegrass kick recently. This is good, 21st century stuff.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nECtWsah2po
In College when I had to cohost a bluegrass/folk show I forced my love of Irish folk music in.
I must admit I rather enjoyed that.
You’d be a monster if you didn’t. That’s the one thing I excel it, music selection and having a cum in your panties voice. That’s why I get paid to do what I do.
Hrmm.
I have to leave for work in less than seven hours and haven’t gotten any sleep yet.
Night everybody!
*Thinks about calling UnCivil a lightweaight, rethinks life choices that lead me to being poor, calls UnCivil a light weight*
Good night, good sir.
Man…. Not a good week for the left.
Now we have the former editor of the NYT in what should be a huge plagiarism scandal. Should be.
Go smoke a brisket richie rich.
The first example I looked at definitely looks like plagiarism. Pretty much zero chance it wasn’t copied and slightly modified.
LOL: Repairing the Credibility Cracks
Very prescient!!
lulz
Cool link. When was the last time you checked your blood sugar?
I never gave you my review of the Hotel Punta Pescadero restaurant. To make it short, if you were already out there it’s decent food at a bit too high a price (for Mexico) with an incredible view and a pool and horseshoe pit for the kids to mess about in. We stayed in a house a five minute walk from and the bar was great to have a couple drinks and a snack but there is better food to be had out there, I mostly cooked and we hit the spots that I like in Los Barrilles. Not bad, but nothing to seek out aside from the awesome reef out back.
Bummer. I expected better.
I think of it as being there entirely to showcase the local fish. Oh well.
If you go anywhere in that area let me know, we have rented houses on the East Cape about seven or eight times now. That hotel is in a great location, but it is super remote, hence the airstrip. You have to either catch the fish (easy out there), or buy it off a local fisherman. Closer to Barrilles there are a couple places that are very cheap and have excellent seafood. I made tons of ceviche off fish I caught and grilled it up outside every day and nite, alternating some steak and chicken in. Sierra macks and triggerfish are good eating.
My last trip with the wife (Hawaii), I didn’t have any beef, pork or chicken. It was kind of a big deal for me. Glad I did it.
Here is one of the mackerels that I caught. I caught four that day and a bunch of 5lb triggers the next day, also found a bottlenose skull on the beach.

Hmm, I wonder. She claims to have sourced everything, albeit in footnotes instead of directly in the text.
But I found this article from last month where Fox News says that in her recent book she claims the NYT and WaPo are losing credibility because of an anti-Trump imbalance. Maybe the plagiarism kerfuffle is meant to discredit her…?
OTOH, she disagrees with Fox’s take on her book (even though her words seem quite clear).
I don’t give a shit NYT and Fox News can choke on a bag of SF’s spare dildos for all I care. Just as long as someone records me some clean audio of the stupid shit Trump says.
Oops. Moynihan seems to have her number. Will she blame her ghostwriter, her footnote assistant, or the publisher?
Tracy Chapman is a woman, I find out tonight, during my sad song carousel. I honestly thought she (!) was a man, a young black artist (which is what you call black singers). “Fast car” is about a young man trying to escape his impoverished upbringing. Except it’s about a woman who escapes her poor family only to be dragged down by a loser husband. Shit.
*cue crying game shower scene for commodious*
Oh, man. Mom played that for me and my sister when we were real young. That was a mind trip. Except the most disturbing part for me, all these years later, is the English soldier getting run over by the British tank, not the drag queen.
*being honest* I’ve never actually seen it, I just know the femme boy that was the cross dresser was RA in Star Gate, which I’ve seen many times, and I saw Ace Ventura and had enough knowledge through osmosis to get the joke. *End honesty*
Ah, you beat me to the punch. That’s what I get for *packing the bowl before responding.

Well, I’m off to spark up a spliff*.

Either you responded to the wrong comment or I’m far too stoned to understand what you’re referencing. The latter is more probable. I’m not the sharpest peanut in the turd on my best day and due to a recent bout of insomnia and being really high to try to combat that I’m pretty fucking dense at the moment.
God, I need some sleep.
Wrong comment. Was aiming for your 10:53 comment.
Kids these days…
I never paid attention to the lyrics. Good song, though. For a short time there she was everywhere.
And then, mercifully, she wasn’t.
That gets a great big necro-posting-thumbs-up!
*leans on bar and get’s way too close to your face* Don’t tell anyone, but I’m like making some fun shit for the Glibs anniversary, shhh! Immam gonanna do some cool shit. *gets hiccups*
That reminds me, I need to cough up a few bones to Glibs again and finally contribute to your Patreon account. Got a linky on the ready?
https://www.patreon.com/cprm
Bookmarked. Now just hope I whip out ye ole credit card before I pass out and wake up in the morning with my financial prudence restored. ;p
Well, the sad fact is I’ll keep making the things no matter if I get paid, I’m a shitty libertarian that way.
Payment sent. Any work of passion that doesn’t harm others is a noble pursuit regardless the financial benefit or one’s political leanings. I enjoy the content and am happy to help you along.
Patreon is bad mkay censorship and such
I’ll worry about their censorship when it affects me, you think I’m some kind of commie or something? I just want money.
Jordan Peterson is disappointed in you
I don’t give a shit about that commie. I’m here for shallow reasons. I gots things to say!
Did the guy from the TOS who was a retired military pilot (i think…) and lived in the inland NW ever make it over? He had a some really good posts when MH370 went missing and definitely had it out for the staff on a lot of topics. And his post about waking up with cravings for a chew 20 years after the fact was VERY spot-on.
If he is who I think he came a while and left over to much groupthink in the comment or something
Well, dang, that’s too bad. I always appreciated his insight on things.
Yes, Francisco. I believe OMWC and other Glibs are still in contact.
Yeah, that’s it. Thanks. I couldn’t remember his name to save my life.
Trade deadline heating up.
Methinks the Wizards be tanking, which makes sense if Wall and his supermax are out next year
Dallas traded Barnes mid-game
And I have no idea what Houston are doing
Good morning glibbers
Oh I get what Houston is doing getting rid of Brandon Knight contract
*Checks time…11:25pm*
Morning is far too soon …fuck me, go to sleep already.
Oh you are on Glib Standard time I see
There is no other time, it’s a construct, unless you need it to be otherwise to make the math work out.
The classiest time. The yuuugest time. You simply can’t believe how great this time is. God’s time.
I’m curious if Glib standard time will shift now that SP is in glib-1
Morning to you. Watching Golden State play some great basketball against the Spurs on about twenty minutes delay. Too bad Aldridge and Derozan aren’t playing. You need to switch teams, the Lakers are not going anywhere for a while.
I could have caught the last quarter only and being at work I decided not to. I did watch some bball at work as there are very few people in the office at this hour but unless it is something i really wanna see I don’t… you know actual work and stuff
It was the third quarter that was the shooting clinic.
great basketball Is that one of those Oxy Morons the Drug warriors talk about?
A bit of college ball and a fair bit more of NBA. It’s not baseball season yet.
Baseball? Like that’s better. You crack me up! can l keep you around like Salacious Crumb?
