American’s escape from socialistic blue state shitholes continues its march forward. If you are a Glib blue state refugee, please reach out to the Glib community for assistance. Glib’s Gulch has not been built yet, but at a minimum we can help you escape to freer lands.
Good morning my Glibs and Gliberinas! And what a glorious morning it is for everyone but El Paso residents who have to put up with this spectacle. Well that and having to be El Paso residents.
I b’leve I might get my ass kicked for saying this, but I might have a case of the Mondays. As in, this day can go crawl up its own ass and die already. And this has NOTHING WHATEVER to do with the fact that I stayed up drinking beer and going down the YouTube rabbit hole way later than I should. You watch 10 clips with an average length of 20 minutes and ho-lee fuck! Its late and shit. So here’s your damn links. I’m going to take a nap.
Wow. Trump’s approval rating hits 52%. I’m not Mr. Trump’s biggest fan, but given that he’s opposing a group of socialist morons who think Venezuela just needed a more feminine touch, I wouldn’t be surprised if his approval hits 62% by November 2020. Serious question, how in the hell is PROG HARDER!!11! still getting 50% of the votes that get counted?
Geez, I’ve been busy. This auction is kicking my ass and still 12 days to go before showtime. I doubt anybody will see me here for a few weeks after today, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
I don’t even know what’s going on in the sports world really. I know Mickelson tried to play golf at what appeared to be midnight en route to winning (sometime this morning) Pebble Beach. And I know that Liverpool won but Man City steamrolled Chelsea in what should cost their manager his job. The AAC got started and from what I hear, people like what they are seeing. College basketball is a roller coaster this year. And I will have to watch more hockey to know what’s going on, although its apparent the Ducks suck since they just canned their coach.
When he wasn’t winning awards he was killing elephants.
Thomas Edison was born on this day. Sow as novelist and screenwriter Sidney Sheldon, actress Eva Gabor, funnyman Leslie Nielsen, Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega, legendary actor Burt Reynolds, JEB!, Sarah Palin, Jennifer Aniston (is 50!), and radio host Alex Jones.
Its also the day the following happened: Robert Fulton patented the steamboat, Ike was named commander of Allied European forces (to the chagrin of Monty), the Yalta Agreement was signed, the Ayatollah seized power in Iran, Weird Al recorded his first LP, Buster Douglas knocked Mike Tyson out in Tokyo and Nelson Mandela was released from prison.
OK, now the links!
May asks for yet more time to negotiate Brexit. Jesus, this is getting ridiculous. Just walk away and tell the EU that they’re negotiating with a completely sovereign nation now. Its become the only way they’ll let you voluntarily leave their little socialist club and its also the only way the saboteurs in your own government will lose leverage.
This is the face of hate…and progressives embrace it.
I know this is shocking, but Rep. Ilhan Omar appears to be an anti-Semite. Go read the tweet, btw…its full of Jewish leftists saying how they’re such big fans off hers but are disappointed in this. Yeah, because this doesn’t mirror everything she’s publicly said about Israel for years.
I swear, I have never heard a song of hers, but Joy Villa has some balls. I won’t comment on her politics other than to say its nice that at least one person in the industry is standing up against the same of progressive stupidity and hypocrisy.

And irony of ironies, this afternoon I have to fly back to the frozen North for week, sticking SP with unpacking and sorting duties. I will count myself lucky if I’m still married when I get back. Yesterday, we wandered into various venues in our new community and are in a bit of culture shock. Our last home in Illinois was in a heavily immigrant and second generation Mexican area. In Austin, we lived in a heavily Vietnamese neighborhood. Here, we are in the stereotypical Caucasia that people make fun of. At Lowe’s, no-one was named Jorge or DeAndre or Jose, every goddam worker there was named Cayden or Camryn or some shit like that. The spice section of the grocery store was 15 different brands of salt. The Wonder Dog is pure white, so she fits in just fine.
Today is February 10th, and the birthday that has me totally stoked is that of Claude-Louis Navier. But also, let us not forget the great Alan Hale, Sr., Jimmy Durante, Chick Webb, and the guy who was basically the house bassist at my favorite venue during my teen years, Rufus Reid.
All here is chaos, but at least there’s a “here” here. So we got that goin’ for us. Poor SP is stuck at home trying to create small pockets of order while I relax at work all day. And of course, the first thing that’s happened on my new job is that I have to travel right back to where we started for most of next week. The folks I’m working with there are telling me, “Yeah, it’s pretty much an ice rink outside this week. But don’t worry, it will be above zero. Mostly.”
Great.
But at least Spud can take the morning off from pinch-hitting for me. And I can get back to Fun Birthdays. And today’s birthday list includes one of my favorites among the Founding Fathers, Thomas Paine, whose work is just as readable, profound, and relevant today as it was in the 18th Century. Common Sense ought to be required reading for anyone who wants to understand the motivations of libertarians. And along that same vein, it’s also the birthday of my absolute favorite US President, one who set an example that all the rest should have emulated- we’d be much better off. There’s a whole list of other notables, but jesus, these two are a tough act to follow.
Old Guy Music time, yet again. If you want to skip the extraneous stuff and get to the breath-taking playing, start it at about 1:35, but some of the extraneous stuff is funny as hell. Willy Porter is a god.

Q:I bully my sister for her weight: My sister Margaret (30) is morbidly obese: 230 pounds and five feet tall. She’s happy, active, and has a wonderful group of friends. But she refuses to take steps to lose weight, and she eats poorly, and it drives me crazy. I love Margaret so much and am terrified of losing her too early. I also hate that people hurt her feelings and treat her poorly because of her health. This manifests in me criticizing her and picking fights with her about her weight. I’m ruining my relationship with Margaret. She avoids me, and I don’t blame her. I make her feel bad about herself. I don’t know how to change this dynamic, because swallowing my fear drives me crazy. My own husband has lectured me about this. I want to change. Where do I begin?
A: FOOL OF A BRUTAL! YOU BEGIN BY NOT CHANGING AT ALL. IN FACT, YOU HAVE PROBABLY NOT GONE FAR ENOUGH. DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO KEEP THE VORTEX SUPPLIED WITH ENOUGH GRAIN FOR THEIR BREAD?

POLITICAL BRUTAL SLAP FIGHT! ZARDOZ IS DISAPPOINT THIS WILL NOT LEAD TO WAR.
Happy Friday, ev’rbody. I hope I get 800 comments on MY thread. Wink,wink.
I posted this in the morning comments, but here’s a Florida Man cocktail for you:
Russian Tang
4 oz Mad Dragon orange “wine-based product”
2 oz Russian vodka — don’t waste $$ on expensive stuff
Fill a glass full of ice. Mix. Two of these will make you not care that you’re strapped to a Russian rocket with no control over whether it goes to space or blows up.
Oh boy. Every Presidential administration has to tilt at this windmill. Kushner to announce Middle East Peace Plan. I assume it is not to ramp up production at General Dynamics and let them sort out a lasting peace by any means necessary while paying hard currency for the, er, tools.
Damn, man. I didn’t even know you could move $10K worth of stolen cigarettes. What’s the market for that? Venezuela. Or course, the way prices were going last I checked, that’s probably only 100 cartons now, “street value”
