Yeah, I’m back again today. Send your complaints to management!

I’m still stewing over last night.  Probably not as much as Verlander though.  Complete game on 96 pitches, 11 strikeouts, no walks and gives up just two hits…and takes the L. What a load of shit. How about some run support, huh guys?

The As beat the Yankees, the Cubs won, as the Cards fell to the Brewers,The Twins were blanked but Cleveland lost too, And of course the Dodgers won. I don’t know if any of the other games really matter. College football about to start and I’m stoked.  Same for the US Open, where a certain chair umpire was told he would not be involved in any of Serena Williams’s matches by the way. Which does little more than add to her God complex. Meh, oh well. Hopefully she’ll get knocked out early and Venus can pull off a miracle and make a deep run.

Happy Birthday to my brother in law! And happy birthday to the following people you may be more familiar with: aviation pioneer Samuel Langley, composer Claude Debussy, Krazy Kat creator George Herriman, German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, Chinese sociopath Deng Xiaoping, bluesman John Lee Hooker, sci-fi heavyweight Ray Bradbury, baseball player Carl Yastzremski, football’s Bill Parcells, and musician Tori Amos.

Ok, lets get into…the links!

Telling people massively subsidized shit is free is a tougher sell than you’d think. Thank you, New Hampshire, for understanding what “free” really means when the government is involved.

Germany is selling government bonds with negative rates. What surprised me most is that there were already $16B in negative-yield bonds already floating around out there.  But if I buy them with Zimbabwean money, I’d still be a trillionaire. And a quadrillionaire when they mature!

I’ve actually found a cop who got fired that I feel bad for. The man’s out there doing community outreach and this is the thanks he gets? Shame on you, Georgia.  Also, how does a 22 year old have three years in the police department under his belt?

Good for you. Now leave those of us alone who feel differently. But seriously, read the piece. Its hilarious in its stupidity.

Wait a second. Can someone explain to me how someone can be loitering around their own broken-down car?  But seriously, this guy does worse with flat tires than Beto O’Rourke. But oddly enough better than Rico Suave.

Dammit God, couldn’t you have waited until the Canadian Geese were migrating?

Florida vacation home invaded by vomiting vultures. I have nothing else to add.

That’s it.  Now enjoy this.

Have a great day, friends!

Good afternoon, how’s everyone? I’m fine, but sat in a bunch of damn meetings.

Hell, I thought the Florida Panthers just couldn’t walk right because they were hockey players.  I’m guessing they’ve been eating Florida Man again.

Poor SF, the Hat & Hair have gone beyond his attempts at parody.

I wonder how climate deniers caused this.

I hope this gets Sean Spicier tweeting again.

 

 

 

Good morning my Glibs and Gliberinas!  And what a glorious morning is always is as we have the greatest internet troll as President.

 

10 declassified Russian collusion revelations that could rock DC this fall.

 

Biden may need to go back to his previous strategy of not being seen nor heard.

 

Sweet Jesus, we’re going to get over another year of this shit, aren’t we?

 

Good news ladies, a new bachelor is back on the market!

 

Oldest webcam to be switched off after 25 years.

 

That’s all I got for today.  I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.

Happy Tuesday, I’m tired. Long night last night. Here is one set of half-ass links for your enjoyment.

Florida Man gets busted dealing Vitamin E in the shape of Trump’s head (and orange!)

That moose stole my taco!

I knew Britain was becoming a shithole, surrounded by communist Europeans, but I didn’t realize we’d need to organize an airlift.

America’s Space Force becomes real August 29!

Let see if I remember how to do this…its been far too long.

Chris Sale is out for the year, and with him go the 2019 Red Sox chances.  The Astros dangled the AL West at the Athletics last week but hopefully snatched it back away a little yesterday. Let’s just hope Carlos Correa isn’t injured after leaving early. The Yankees and Dodgers are effectively waiting on the playoffs. And the NL Central is gonna be fun down the stretch.  Oh, yeah…and football is around the corner with the preseason AP Poll being released yesterday.  (If there’s anything less useful in the sports world, I’m not sure what it is.  Except for maybe the Phoenix Coyotes.)

If you were born on this date, you share it with the following: Antarctica discoverer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, Ohioan Benjamin Harrison, writer H.P. Lovecraft, poet Salvatore Quasimodo, boxing promoter Don King, genius politician Ron Paul, sociopath Slobodan Milosevic, Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, (once-)fat guy Al Roker, “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, and “Dumbass” Demi Lovato.  Happy Birthday!

OK, let’s see what’s happening as I bring you…the links!

LOL, oh England. What the hell happened to you? Let this be a warning to all those dumbasses who say people don’t get locked up for petty things.

I assume by “mistakes”, she means stealing their heritage for personal gain at the expense of someone else. But don’t worry, Indians. She’s gonna cleanse herself by giving you a bunch of free shit taken from people that never wronged you.

If you’re gonna shill bid, at least be discrete.  You’re killing the otherwise sterling reputation of us auctioneers, :-0.

Chicago Teachers Union steps in shit. And they could have done it by traveling to San Francisco for less than half the price of visiting Venezuela.

And in the latest installment of “Wow, the timing here sure is convenient”, Jeffrey Epstein signed his new will two days before he died.  I wonder where his interesting art will end up?

Well that’s it.  Except for this, obviously.  Have a great day, friends!

As always, my work has shifted from “hurry up and wait” to “why wasn’t this all finished yesterday?!!” So I’ll just drop these here.

Illegal immigrant no match for Florida Boy. Good on ya, kid, but maybe have a heart-to-heart with your mamma about her taste in men.

I think this is a measured and reasonable response.

A feel good story about a pitbull. Dog bites shark is news, right?

NYPD officer who choked Eric Garner to death fired. Its not justice, but its more than I expected.

 

Here’s a little college radio throwback for you.

Another week, another pile of applications. My typing fingers are almost worn out. But just because my fingertips are raw doesn’t mean that I’m shirking on links. Here’s proof.

Birthdays to start, of course. A guy who I think was made up; an unfortunate owner; a little guy; a former candidate; a candidate for “weirdest and dumbest congressman”; and my spirit animal.

On to the news.

 

Nearly 20 years of our military involvement, and we can be proud of the progress.

 

This actually happened to me, but it was with then-senator Pete Wilson. I missed the outrage part.

 

Department of Absolutely Foreseeable Outcomes.

 

If imitation meat offends you, this will make your head explode.

 

Salon beclowns itself. Again.

 

Here’s one where a large body count would only improve our world.

 

“This is Wales, we will have no fucking here.”

 

“Let’s make sure we prevent any poor person from trying to get a business going.”

 

 

Old Guy Music features John Mayall in his funk phase. And with an amazing lineup of players, but that’s what Mayall always did.

 

We’re having a bunch of work done on the house and the project has begun. Yesterday, I had a guy running a Smart car sized concrete cutter on the patio. Today, it was demolition of the stone facade on the front of the house, Monday will be an excavator removing the patio and so on, and so forth. And there’s an outhouse on my driveway.

 

Birthdays! Yep, they were had today.

 

The city of brotherly, sisterly love.

 

Glibertariat, hardest hit.

 

A PSA for the Glibertariat.

 

I agree with Booty-gag, but he still ain’t getting a vote from me.

 

This is the best timeline.

 

I think this classic from my youth pretty much sums up my state of mind these days.
