I like it when you drive past a river, knowing the water is so cold it would drain the life essence out of you in a few minutes, and it’s steaming like a pot of soup because the air is that much colder than the water.
Science!
How about when it’s clouds forming off of the Great Lakes?
The legend comes from the Chippewa on down, of the big lake they call Gitchee Goomee…
You mean that shining big sea water?
” I expect mockery from NoDak, Montanian and Minnesoda Glibs.”
Thou shalt not mock a fellow Glib. Tease, harass, insult, annoy, yes, but mock not that ye shall be mocked. Or something like that.
Nah, I’ll mock when appropriate.
Like the ineptness of the Blackhawks.
Is that the goalie that plays behind Seabrook?
Poor Seabrook. He has to have Kane stick up for him.
It is actually sad to see a team I liked plummet back to the depths of the pre Kane/ days.
They should definitely remove the A from Seabrook and give it to Kane.
It’s a balmy 35 here. I’ve never felt so warm!
*narrows icy gaze*
It’s going down to 8 tonight. That’s cold, right?
In all seriousness, I think -6 is the coldest temp I’ve ever been in, so I can’t say I know what you midwestern types are going through,
If you have any facial hair, the moisture of your breath will freeze to it. Salt will no longer melt ice (most cities use other chemicals anyway). You can throw boiling water up into the air for it to immediately freeze (do not try this if it’s not sub-zero… sorry Floridians, 40 F ain’t cold). If you have automatic air pressure sensors on your tires, they will all show they are low on air. At least here in Ohio, while it’s record breaking for the time of year, it’s not that out of the ordinary.
I had the privilege of serving in a cold-weather Marine Reserve Infantry unit. Good times. Also went to college in Maine. Walking to class at -10 was normal.
Long Island was the harshest winter climate I ever lived in , which a)was only as a small child and b)not that bad anyway. I’ve spent most of my life in temperate or hot climates – VA, CA, FL, AL, AZ
Careful, your face may freeze like that.
Yeah, it got down into the 50’s yesterday. Might not reach 70 for a day or two.
Had to break out a long sleeved shirt and everything…
May the fleas of a thousand camels roost in your private parts.
Low tonight is estimated at 72. The coats and sweaters will be out. Unfortunately I am still in Dc area with an anticipated low of 7 and wind chill of -15.
You just need more government spending and continued Socialist Mayoralities!
Spend more on homelessness, and- whaddaya know! you get more homelessness.
It’s a dadgum conundrum, is what it is.
It’s almost as if people respond to incentives. You’re right this is puzzling.
The new communist man should not do that, so to the camps with the lot of you!
Politifact says you’re wrong. The total pot of homeless stayed the same. The simply migrated.
“CARACAS/MOSCOW (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump spoke to Venezuela’s self-proclaimed interim president by phone on Wednesday, reiterating support for his “fight to regain democracy,” as Washington’s push to force socialist President Nicolas Maduro from power picked up steam.”
Is it actually a push to force? It’s not like Trump had the CIA kill him.
And I thought foreign interference in the elections was totally outrageous.
I’m sure Mueller’s already looking onto it.
““Donald Trump has without doubt given an order to kill me and has told the government of Colombia and the Colombian mafia to kill me,” Maduro said in an interview with Moscow’s RIA news agency, reprising an accusation that he and Chavez have often made over the years.
Bogota and Washington have routinely denied that, while foes say Maduro uses such accusations as a smokescreen when in trouble.”
It would be trivial to kill him. He should be careful what he wishes for.
Not to take the side of a tyrant, but an American led assassination attempt against a foe doesn’t sound implausible. I’d rather his own people killed him Mussolini-style
Like that bottle rocket during his speech? Definitely Seal Team 6.
We did try to once kill Castro with an exploding cigar. I’m thinking Tom Clancy exaggerates on the sophistication involved
Law Abiding Citizen isn’t a documentary?
Someone better warn Maduro to stay away from seltzer bottles.
Chuckles the Clown hardest hit.
That wasn’t Bugs Bunny?
True, but…why? Why in the fuck kill a useless douchebag who will die soon on his own? He’s already ineffectual and pointless. Killing him would just (possibly) make him a martyr.

Merry Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. Ceaușescu
BTW, I don’t know if anyone mentioned it here – my wife was watching Fox News this morning despite my well-known distaste for morning news shows, and they had the mouthpiece for the Houston cops union on for an interview regarding that bullshit raid that ended up with two homeowners killed. My god, I have never seen such a slimy, repellent creature.
I mean, just look at this fuckin’ guy
Unbelievable how much of a lie that initial story was. Pure propaganda
Up there with the Waco motorcycle gang shootout (cop ambush).
At least the story came out on this.
What is the latest info on that? I haven’t heard.
When I saw the bluster and threats on tv I knew something was wrong. He doth protest too much.
They stormed the wrong house and never identified themselves. All they found was a bag of weed.
NUH UH YOU COP HATER
“but they recovered marijuana, an unidentified white powder and two rifles.”
WHITE POWDER and also ZOMG RIFLES. IN TEXAS.
“The suspects involved in the shooting were identified Tuesday as Rhogena Nicholas, 58, and Dennis Tuttle, 59. Acevedo did not elaborate on any past criminal histories.”
The guy apparently bounced a check in 2010. No drug dealing history. Willing to bet money they either got the wrong house or a CI straight up made shit up.
Middle aged white couple, both of whom voted for Trump and have a bunch of conservative social media stuff.
Yeah, the cops literally just shot Joe and Jane Sixpack and their dog. Maybe this is the case that wakes up the BLUE LINE crowd.
Maybe this is the case that wakes up the BLUE LINE crowd.
No chance.
I gotta agree. No chance of that ever happening.
The creation of the interwebs made accessing this information trivial. There’s whole webites devoted to tracking this sort of stuff and everything… And nobody gives a crap.
Us weirdo libertarians mostly have this territory to ourselves, although the hard left drifts by from time to time – but they always want to twist things into race or anti-capitalism nonsense. Civil libertarians are a rare breed.
I made the mistake of reading comments on the article at chron.com (Houston’s daily paper’s web site). There was one person who blamed the War On Drugs, and one that sorta agreed with him. The rest were busy blaming it on illegals (or bitching at/laughing at them, depending on when the comments were in relation to the victims being identified), getting hate boners for the “drug dealers”, or praying for the cops. It was sad.
unidentified white powder
OMG! They found white powder in someone’s home!
We probably have three or four nutritional supplements that are white powder, god knows how much talcum-type powder in Mrs. Dean’s bedroom, pounds of flour of various kinds, some spices that are white powder, and of course some laundry detergent.
Until you’ve identified white powder found in an environment full of perfectly legal white powders, maybe you shouldn’t mention it at all. Unless, of course, you are trying to smear the people you just murdered.
The female victim was 59 and married. The white powder could have been the result of her death queef.
:slinks off in shame at the expense of a probably innocent victim:
My wife keeps the confectioners sugar in a ziplock bag with “definitely not drugs” written in sharpie on the front…
I guess they don’t teach street sign and house number reading in Rambo School.
“Four Houston officers were wounded and one suffered a knee injury in the incident. A group of about a dozen members of the Houston police narcotics unit responded to a residence they suspected was a hub for drug dealing, particularly the sale of “street-level narcotics” like “black tar heroin,” Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said. He said officers found no heroin there Monday, but they recovered marijuana, an unidentified white powder and two rifles.”
This seems to be the root of the problem. Anyone concerned that Blue Lives Matter would oppose drug prohibition, but the police unions are all for the War On Drugs.
“Four Houston officers were wounded”
So he hit four cops with a presumably six shot revolver before they took him down?
I wonder if there’s one cop with a .38 slug in him, and three with various cop rounds in them.
Lotsa them there magic bullets in Texas.
If you look at the evidence from “shootouts” like this, you’ll find a lot of support for this snark.
One example: Jose Guerena was killed in his own kitchen because his wife woke him with shouts of “there’s men with guns at the door.” He runs to the front hallway with his ar-15 as the door is kicked in and the panic fire ensues. The homeowner never even took the safety off, but 5 well trained officers emptied their guns into the walls, ceiling, floor, neighboring buildings….. In fact they had to restrain paramedics from getting to him for over 2 hours to ensure that he bled out – they didn’t even score any lethal center of mass hits. All of this in a narrow hallway from 15 feet or so.
The video of one officer bouncing around behind the others, wildly firing blindly over their heads is…. well…. chilling? Scary? Comical? Sad? I don’t know which adjective is appropriate. (But if I’m one of the other guys, I’m smacking the crap out of him as soon as we get back to the locker room)
A relative of mine who is a cop told me he despised no-knock raids. Playing devil’s advocate, I asked, “aren’t they supposed to be safer for both the police and the suspects?” He said in theory that was true, but in reality most of these “SWAT” “teams” are just regular dumb ass cops (his words) with fancy gear and weapons they’ve barely trained with. That “SWAT” is more marketing than reality in all but a handful of cities.
And the rest of us are tired of being target practice. If the system won’t hold you accountable, then your actual employers will have to step up.
Shit, if they’re that sick and tired, you’d think they’d
find another joblearn to codeIs this coding thing anything like writing police reports that are mostly fabrications?
That’s nothing. Check out this slimey looking fucker.
In the words of Bubbles, “Greeeeeeeece.”
Thanks Leap. I was going to point out that when it comes to putting the sleeziest person in the world in charge of your PR, the Mpls cops take a back seat to no one.
Bob Kroll couldn’t get a job as a wrestling bad guy because he would be too much of a caricature. “Look Bob, the secret to being a bad guy is to have some redeeming feature despite all your villainy. You can’t just be pure slime.”
Why wouldn’t the Minneapolis Police make this local cop the face of their organization.
Yeah, probably because he wouldn’t be able to hide his revulsion for his brother cops when they beat down some victim.
What a pansy! Helping people instead of making them obey his every order.
He is right out central casting for Union Guy. Robert DeNiro head tilt, Joe Pesci voice, etc.
Seriously – how did Houston end up with a guy who sounds like that? Shouldn’t they have some Tommy Lee Jones-sounding guy?
In my limited experience, the Boston/NY accent is far more common among union leaderships across the country than demographics would suggest. I suspect the positions select for a certain type of scummish parasite.
I went into the comments there. The stupid…IT BURNS!!!!
I give this comment the cop-sucker idiot award:
“Have you ever watched a show about SWAT, not a lot of drugs are ever found and not much money, it’s not the movies. Most dealers know better than have a large amount of money and drugs on hand.”
Evidence shemividence, THEY’RE GUILTY!!!
There are no illegal drugs in my house. I must be a drug dealer!
A really smart one! Your day comin’!
Rubin interviews Mad Max Bernier:

If only that hotel had security for that actor Jussie Smollett. Like those NY places have.
Because then we could see him putting a rope around his own neck….and then leaving it there for 45 minutes until the cops showed up.
Apparently, there was no hotel. It was some kind of luxury apartment.
That’s what my neighbor calls his bathroom….
My top two theories: buying drugs or a hookup that went wrong. Why else would you go outside at 2am in the brutal cold?
He did in fact go in to the Subway. It’s on video. They pretty much have his entire walk back to the apartment on video too. Surprise surprise, no attack so far.
He’s going to have a tough time explaining why he didn’t have a noose around his neck when he got home.
The noose followed him home and jumped him. We need common sense noose control NOW!
I’m guessing the hooker told Smollett to pay him with a chicken salad sub and he brought back tuna salad.
Or the seafood salad sub. He was purposely trying to give her food poisoning. That’s his fetish
Subway Seafood Salad Sub, that’s just inhumane.
Apparently he’s gay, so the hooker would be a him?
Replacing chicken salad with tuna salad should be a hanging offense. Especially Subway, who I’m sure would use chunk light tuna (mostly comprised of fish lips and anuses).
A bad case of TDS is my single theory.
Check out his twitter. Spittle flecked rants about Trump.
He might have deleted some of it, but there are screenshots out there somewhere.
It’s really tiresome just how easy it is to call bullshit on these stories the second you hear about them. I mean, I think I’ve been wrong once and that was with the MAGA bomber. I think I was wrong because that story was completely memory holed so who really fucking knows just how much of what the media was selling was actually true.
How about looking for attention? These sort of desperate asshats will do anything to get face time..
Ot’s only a matter of time before the upper west side demands a wall.
It’s.

Russia flew in a 787 to Venezuela. They’re going to rescue….. the country’s gold bullion.
Ver clever. They have their puppet, Trump, threaten Maduro and scare the shit out of him so he calls Putin and asks the Russkies to take his gold bullion and protect it! Next week, Putin and Trump divvy up the Venezuelan gold. This scam will probably work on Syria too, and then maybe Germany.
This post looks familiar:)
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU MEAN.
Lol. I’m not sure how long it was up but it wasn’t long:) I tried to comment and it disappeared.
I saw it, too.
I didn’t comment as I assumed it would just get disappeared.
It didn’t get disappeared…merely….reused.
It’s pretty dang nice here right now for winter in Montucky. … Not so much when you get out to Monday: high of 7. Gonna be fun!
We’re in the gods damned 50’s early next week. Stupid temperature swings.
78 here today.
Liberal Dems fret over ‘US backed coup’ in Venezuela against socialist dictator Maduro
He just needs a little more time. It’s totally going to work, just be patient.
I predict that socialism will still get the credit in liberal circles, once it’s finally dumped and the country turns itself around. Maduro’s personal failings just caused it to take too long, and the people lost patience, but the effects eventually kicked in and saved the country.
Just like how Obama’s economic policies obviously re-energized the economy. It just took 10 years to happen, that’s all.
Honestly, I don’t think we should be getting involved, either. Not out of any love for Maduro or the Chavezista government. It’s just none of our business. The Venezuelans voted for this shit. I see no reason for us to waste any of our blood or our treasure bailing them out of their own covetousness and stupidity.
I too see no reason to intervene at all. I’m sure at least some of the folks quoted in the article are mighty selective in their noninterventionist tendencies, though.
Yeah, it would be interesting to plot some of these severely team-constrained folks’ reactions.
Crimea: Whoa! Trump didn’t send in troops! (must be a Putin stooge)
Syria: Trump bombed something!!! Warmonger! There were Russians there! He risks nuclear war!
Syria: Trump pulling out! Cowardly! Human tragedy! (Putin Stooge!)
rinse and repeat for Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc. TDS is so strong with certain elements of the DNC, I wouldn’t be surprised if they started calling for him to invade Russia.
So far just words….keep it that way.
Blood and treasure, I agree. But that’s not what we’re talking about here.
Actually, we should intervene. We’ll send Sean Penn to give speeches about how great socialism is and why wanting access to buy toilet paper is just bourgeois capitalist pig dog thinking.
I like the way you think.
There is pretty good evidence Maduro won the last election by fraud.
Yeah. Some seem to be opposed because it’s none of our business. Tulsi seems to be one of those, and I’m ok with that. Others seem to be opposed because they think that Maduro is on the right side of history. Those are the ones that should be ridiculed.
In all seriousness, I think -6 is the coldest temp I’ve ever been in, so I can’t say I know what you midwestern types are going through,
I think the coldest I personally experienced (air temp, no wind chill) was -40 ~ -45. In Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I have no interest in breaking that record.
-27, according to weather underground historical records. January of 1994 in Madison. I think wind chill was about -50.
-35 in SW Minnesoda in 77-78. Wind chill that night got down to -75.
Fairbanks -77 and Gallatin County, MT -56 (both ambient and not wind chill)
My kids did not complain about moving. At their rural school lunch recess outside until -26 and school was in session until -44 when the diesel fuel in the busses jellified.

Now, if he had accused Hillary of putting a hit on him…

I feel for y’all. This is a lean time of year for bees so I feed them in the winter. They were hitting the feeders today for a couple of hours. Bees retreat to the hive at 42F.
Compared to what the rest of the country is experiencing we have pretty balmy weather here.
Soon to be time to order some CA bees for delivery in May. The price is up a little this year, more than inflation. The bees are going to be a little more productiv, that’s all. Going to bed at dark doesn’t cut anymore.
In re: the MAGA lynching…
The left might actually get away with it this time.
With the Covington kids, there was video disproving the entire false narrative.
Here, all we have is a lack of video, therefore, you can’t prove that it didn’t happen, no matter how bullshit it is.
Accusations need to be disproved. This is the cornerstone of jurisprudence
Exactly. Unless they are willing to find some innocent honkeys to throw under the bus for the cause and stage a whole trial where the verdict is all but a given…..
You could be right, they’ll double down on the stupidity if there’s no smoking gun clearly disproving his tale. The story is being reported uncritically, and Media Matters is already decrying the “right wing smear attack” against Smollett because many Twitter users are skeptical about it. Because it’s soooooo plausible, right?

You know how I do.
I’m not sure it matters that much. The people who believe it don’t care if it’s true or not because the facts don’t matter to them. Everyone else knows it’s bullshit.
Even when the facts come out to show they were wrong they will not just stick with it, but they will keep telling others the lies.
Schrödinger’s Lynching is a well-known Gedankenexperiment.
Here, all we have is a lack of video,
Apparently, there is video of him going back to his apartment unassaulted.
That will soon be erased by an accidental magnet going over the hard drive a dozen or more times…

Makes sense. It’s not like there’s an avalanche of violent crime in Chicago to keep cops occupied.
Oh, CNN is on the case. Word on the street is the assailants were Russian.
Hundreds of hours of video? More like hundreds of hours of overtime reviewing 20 minutes of video over and over.
No hundreds of hours of video is hundreds of hours of Pornhub and 45 minutes looking at a single video camera played on the highest fast forward setting
There must be a ton of MAGA hats on pornhub?
Those homophobic MAGA assholes not only stood out in the cold waiting for him at 2 am with bleach and a rope, they also avoided every camera on the street. It turns out the wily bastards’ real plan is gaslighting!
Obviously the Russian Hackers edited the video.
Ok, following the Daily Mail link showed me photos of the “threatening letter” laced with Tylenol.
Two theories:
1. They were sent by a 7 year old kid. Or maybe a guy with the mind of a 7 year old.
2. They were sent by someone who thinks that this is what a racist Trump supporter would send to a gay actor.
I’m gonna guess that it is number 2, because the writing and drawing look too carelessly childish, while the cutouts are carefully quadrilateral but not square and perfectly arranged. The strokes on the magic marker are quick on the drawing, but shakey-careful on the writing – and extra messy on the MAGA. My guess: done left handed to fake the handwriting.
Honestly, mewling about a paltry dozen below zero is barely worth notice, let alone comment.

Pepperoni ROLL, sir.
While I have brought pepperoni bread (with a pepperoni pizza dip), the most popular so far is my ghost chili chilli. I make a batch up, put it into a pie dish, shred a bunch of smoked cheddar over the top and bring some tortilla chips. This year I’ve found a chorizo beer cheese dip that I’m going to be trying out.
If I get time on Saturday I’m making some pepperoni bread. Not sure if it will last until Sunday though.
Last time I threw a Super Bowl party (never again!), we had
-Caribbean jerk wings
-BBQ meatballs
-jalapeno poppers (mine are just sliced in half, filled with cream cheese, and baked with a piece of bacon on top)
-chips with homemade guac and salsa
-and I always have to have regular potato chips with onion dip. Just a me thing.
I would permit you to invite me your superb owl party.
That chili dip sounds good. I like to save extra chili for chili dogs later.
I’ve got a High School friend who throws a Super Bowl party every year. I don’t get to see him that often (he’s up to 3 daughters, all under the age of 10).
The large amount of cheese helps to tame the heat a bit for those who don’t like spicy. Unless they decide to go for a big scoop after multiple warnings that the chilli is spicy. Although watching a seven year old try it once (carefully, he knew me enough to listen to my warnings) came up proud after trying a little bit on a chip: “It’s really good, and I didn’t cry or anything!”
If I go anywhere for a Superbowl, it’s a bar and I expect free food. I prefer bars to parties. In fact, I don’t like parties at all.
2). Use whey powder. It goes with process cheese.
Yeah, Isopure unflavored 100% whey.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-6645069/How-Tom-Brady-went-unwanted-draft-pick-best-NFL-player-ever.html
That sounds like a lot of fucking water.
That should make the fish happy.
I NEVER drink water. It’s gross. Fish fuck in it.
Uh huh….let him play behind the Giants OL for a while and see how resistant he is to injury then. Also, QBs are coddled and protected to an insane degree compared to the NFL of 20 years ago and earlier. You can barely breathe on them without drawing a flag.
Especially Tammy.
Montana is the GOAT.
Err yeah while Brady’s O-Line might not be Giants bad (our local high school can probably say the same thing though) it is not exactly like Brady has spent his career behind O-Lines loaded with HOF talent either. In his 18 years in the league I think he’s had 1 or maybe 2 legit HOF candidates on the line in front of him (Logan Mankins and Matt Light).
As a practical matter averaged over his career Brady has basically played in front of an average to slightly above average O-line so his lack of injuries has been as much about his ability to get rid of the ball quickly, avoid hits with smart movement in the pocket (it obviously isn’t his athletic ability that lets him avoid hits) and intelligence to either throw the ball away or go to the ground when called for to avoid getting hit.
Did they mention jettisoning the first wife who had married him when he was a nothing?
I don’t see what’s wrong with that.
/Ghost of John McCain
Fake news. Tom Brady is married to his first and only wife.
He knocked up Bridget Moynahan and dumped her for Jizzelle.
Didn’t bother to marry the first one. Just knocked her up and then dumped her for Gisselle
Slow poke!
I like your spelling better, too.
So close..
Wait, so he knocked up the one, while dating then marrying the other?
https://pagesix.com/2015/10/19/tom-bradys-ex-marries-in-the-hamptons/

Yeah, sure…
I NEED TO LEARN GOSSIP BETTER, DAMMIT.
*wears FAKE NOOZ sign*
I mean, he already had 2 Super Bowls under his belt before that relationship started, and a third before he knocked her up. And it’s not like she was just some average girl off the street – she is an actress.
Yeah, this is hardly the case of knocking up Daisy Mae his Junior year of college, dropping her off on daddy’s porch, and not returning her phone calls.
The dude’s weird, and possibly a goat fancier, but he didn’t exactly rob a girl of her virtue here.
Possibly? What do you think deflate-gate was about?
Yeah and I think they broke up before she knew she was pregnant.
In all fairness, she’s probably a bunny boiler.

a strict vegan diet
I’m honestly amazed that any athlete can succeed on a strict vegan diet.
He eats lean meat during the playoffs. Not a joke.
They didn’t say for how long.
I was a vegan for 6 hours today.
Vegan diets are comparable with high-level athletics. It takes more work than Joe Sixpack’s meat-eating diet, but high-level athletes already are (or should) be spending a lot of time on their diets no matter what taboos they have.
I run a lot* and am a strict vegan.
Mike Wardian runs more and faster and is purportedly “almost entirely vegan“.
FWIW, many of us vegan ultra runners believe (and perhaps it’s placebo) that we recover quicker due, in part, to our diets.
E.g., last year: 9/7 200 miler, 9/21 50k, 9/29 50k, 10/20 50k, 10/21 marathon, 10/27 100 miler, 11/3 53 miler, 11/11 50k, 11/23 4 mile race, 11/24 50k.
There are two kinds of people in the world. Those that like cottage cheese and those that don’t. Of those that like cottage cheese there are two styles, small curd and large curd. Of those that like either large or small curd there are two kinds, regular or light…
WIth pepper or not. I have to have pepper. Good with pineapple or not. I like pineapple with it. I’ve heard of some demented people that use ketchup. Yuck.
I like using cottage cheese as a chip dip as well.
A bag of UDF Bar-B-Que chips and tub of CC was my go-to snack while at school.
Truth. Also triscuts.
Also on Triscuits. Onion & Chive Philly Cream Cheese.
Triscuits never last long enough for me to put shit on them, I’ll eat the whole box on the drive home from Krogers.
Didn’t President Ford eat cottage cheese with ketchup?
Nixon
OK
That’s how my mom eats it too. Yuk.
What the fuck?
What he said…
And where are the people commenting on Winston’s mom?
They’ll be here as soon as they’re done with her.
Nixon’s last meal as president. At least no ketchup for that one

I’ll tear some cottage cheese up, but I’m a sucker for dairy. No fruit or whatever, just salt, maybe pepper.
/fist bump. The only way to eat it.
I mean who puts ketchup on cheese?
People that like earning their red wings?
I love cottage cheese – small curd is best but large is OK.
The local market yesterday only had some off brand – Daisy. Never heard of it.
It tasted like shit. My wife and I each took one bite and then chucked the rest.
In California there’s only one size curd, no small vs large. No doubt illegal here, as is Oscar Mayer ham and cheese loaf lunchmeat. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know.
Nobody needs 27 sizes of curd.
Don’t know about Daisy cottage cheese but they make the best sour cream
Meebe that’s the problem – it tasted like it was part sour cream.
You’re dead to me mikey. Daisy is the last cottage cheese that doesn’t use excessive non dairy fillers.
The only beef I have is their sour cream isn’t sour enough. It lacks flavor. But it also lacks carrageenan and other shit that had no place in dairy products.
DUN DUN
I would do no such thing. -22 is dangerous weather. Please be sure to stay safe…

Seriously…-22 is dangerously cold. -10 is. I hope all the Glibs gripped by the pola…cold snap fare well.
Pshaw! I have it on good authority that it’s delightful weather! Just the sort of weather to take a leisurely stroll down to the local Subway for a hand-crafted sandwich.
Followed by a little light choking…

Fun Day in Philly with IBEW 98 boss Johnny Doc (finally) getting indicted. Love this nugget:
“BRIAN BURROWS (charged elsewhere in this Indictment), Local 98 president, that he planned
to use his relationship with defendant ROBERT HENON to threaten the Teamsters Union for the
political commercials that portrayed DOUGHERTY in a negative light. DOUGHERTY said,
“Let me tell you what Bobby HENON’s going to do, and he’s already talked to [elected local
public official]. They’re going to start to put a tax on soda again and that will cost the Teamsters
100 jobs in Philly.”
Read the whole thing. Incredible.

I missed the part where huge FBI military swat team arrested the perps, including a Phila. councilman, in a dawn raid where Fox News was tipped off to bring their cameras. What’s that, that didn’t happen?
From the Inquirer
We are now literally more corrupt than most countries in Europe that many of us like to make fun of. For example, the fact that it costs 5x to 10x as much to build a mile of subway in NYC versus London or Paris has been a frequent topic of local news. I have no doubt that it’s a similar story anywhere you care to look, comparing similar projects and places.
My favorite example is that it costs twice as much per mile to extend a subway line in Boston [above ground, the land is already owned by the government] than to build the longest train tunnel in the world through the Alps.
*preens*
And yet NBC News remains as statist as you can get.
Henon, in turn, filed a complaint with L&I, whose employees then visited CHOP and issued a stop work order.
I don’t think I could invent one-dimensional villains who would do something like that – issue a stop work order against people installing medical equipment in a children’s hospital. Just, wow.
Rod Blagojevich (D- IL – Fed Pen) threatened to gank $7M going to Children’s Hospital in Chicago if he didn’t get some campaign loot. It was all on tape, and we heard it.

That’s all pretty innocuous stuff. When I was younger I knew plenty of girls who met damn near all of those criteria and none of them were being sex trafficked as far as I know.
And you would a known, right?
All prostitution is sex trafficking! No woman would WILLINGLY engage in such behavior, therefore they must be trafficked!!!!!!

But, they can definitely tell you who’s a Nazi today

Well you SugarFreed the link, but I’d like to know how many of people polled were educated in Canadian schools (specifically K-12, I’m not sure why university should teach you about Holocaust if you never heard of it before).

We all failed her
I’ll need to see pics first to determine my culpability.
Here’s a thing I found sort of strange. We drove to Mammoth from LA this past weekend, and the 395 goes right past the site of Manzanar. Not only did my son (age 15, after 12 years of private school) barely know what Manzanar was, he had never read “Farewell to Manzanar”. Which I – a public school grad in a far less ‘racial awareness’ era, did read and discuss.
I know he’s had to read lots of the current vogue of “my life as a poor latino illegal immigrant” “My life as a chinese american girl” etc type of stories, except not the most famous book to deal with the experience of the internment cams that happened right on his damn doorstep? IIRC, it was the book we read pretty much right after Diary of Anne Fran, in a “guess what it could happen here, and it did” sort of Cautionary Tale. And yet… it’s not part of the curriculum anymore? I was rather floored.
I’m 49 and have never heard of that book. I could not have explained the meaning of the name without prodding, either. But I grew up in NY. ??♂️
So there’s two things the educational establishment does with the crimes of the American Left.
1. It wasn’t the Left that did it, it was America itself, all of us are culpable. So instead of FDR interning the Japanaese, it was America’s Intrinsic Racism what done it and even a noble saintly man like FDR couldn’t resist it.
2. They just don’t mention it.
With FDR stuff, more and more they are using the second strategy. They just ignore all the evil shit he did. Especially since with internment, not only do you have FDR, you have a government dominated utterly by the Democrats (260+ in the House, over 60 of a 96 seat Senate, and eight of nine SCOTUS judges picked by FDR). Kind of hard to steer away from culpability for a monstrous act of oppression that way.
Oh, I never knew this, just found it in the wikipedia article:
From 1936, at the behest of President Roosevelt, the ONI began compiling a “special list of those who would be the first to be placed in a concentration camp in the event of trouble” between Japan and the United States. In 1939, again by order of the President, the ONI, Military Intelligence Division, and FBI began working together to compile a larger Custodial Detention Index.[32] Early in 1941, Roosevelt commissioned Curtis Munson to conduct an investigation on Japanese Americans living on the West Coast and in Hawaii. After working with FBI and ONI officials and interviewing Japanese Americans and those familiar with them, Munson determined that the “Japanese problem” was nonexistent. His final report to the President, submitted November 7, 1941, “certified a remarkable, even extraordinary degree of loyalty among this generally suspect ethnic group.”[33] A subsequent report by Kenneth Ringle, delivered to the President in January 1942, also found little evidence to support claims of Japanese-American disloyalty and argued against mass incarceration.[34]
Plus this.
Although WRA Director Dillon Myer and others had pushed for an earlier end to the incarceration, the exclusion order was not rescinded until January 2, 1945 (postponed until after the November 1944 election, so as not to impede Roosevelt’s reelection campaign).
I swear, if I can go back in time and kill somebody, it might not be Marx after all. Fuck that crippled little tyrant so much. What was that guy that shot at him in Miami? Wish he hadn’t fucked it up.
the site of Manzanar. Not only did my son (age 15, after 12 years of private school) barely know what Manzanar was, he had never read “Farewell to Manzanar

What are the inmates of the nuthouse with typewriters all aflutter about, today? The End of News.
More than anyone else in media, BuzzFeed’s founder, Jonah Peretti, bet on symbioses with the tech platforms. He understood that the tech giants would keep getting bigger, but to him that was a feature, not a bug. By creating content that hooked into their algorithms, he imagined BuzzFeed getting bigger — and making money — along with them.
At the least, the layoffs suggest the tragic folly of Mr. Peretti’s thinking. Google and Facebook have no economic incentive for symbiosis; everything BuzzFeed can do for them can also be done by the online hordes who’ll make content without pay.
So where does that leave media? Bereft.
It is the rare publication that can survive on subscriptions, and the rarer one that will be saved by billionaires. Digital media needs a way to profitably serve the masses. If even BuzzFeed couldn’t hack that, we are well and truly hosed.
tl;dr- Muh buggy whips!
If Buzzfeed couldn’t live off of Facebook’s crumbs, the digital news business is doomed to failure.
Maybe if they took a shot at producing quality product, instead of hysterical shrieking about Public Enemy Number One and his complicity in the end of civilization, people might take them seriously.

Buddy was just challenged due to non-friendly types invading his space.
Note: see South Park for further understanding of Canadian.
I don’t know. Plenty of autistics are pretty intelligent in some dimension.
So, not autistic then?
+1 excellent driver.
I’m sure PM Zoolander is also intelligent in some dimensions.
Don’t ask me which, I never met him. It’s not worth risking the domains of Bishop of Banff, or dealing with Earl of Winnipeg.
He’s a witling who thinks feelz are enough to get him re-elected this year.
Sadly, given the stupidity of Canadians who voted for him last time, he may actually be correct.
Pretty sure he is aping Laurier there. You know his Sunny Days stuff. Of course considering how Laurier treated the Natives…
Trudeau suggested his government was taking the approach of the sun, the memo said.
And then, when they’re not looking, YOU STEAL THEIR COATS.
We went to our local watering hole. Closed. And the ice cream place across the way – closed. Thank goodness the pizza place was open – and it was packed. Luckily we snagged a table before the big rush of customers. So – if you want to make a lot of $$ – stay open during Snowmaggedon because people get tired of being cooped up inside and are willing to brave a local drive to get some food and beer.
Very happy with the stout and M43 I drank.
Our neighborhood place is like that. They never, ever, ever close. Last blizzard we had the city announced a state of emergency and something like a car curfew–pretty much “get off the damn roads, and if you get stuck somewhere don’t call us, and if we have to push your car out of the way with a plow don’t complain”–and they still stayed open. They were packed as always. Interestingly, there is basically zero turnover, even with the kitchen.
Yeah and because everything is frozen solid, when you go outside you no longer smell the stench from those millions of corpses caused by tax cuts, government shutdown, internet neutrality, reduction on air pollution standards, SCOTUS decisions, and a myriad of other Trumpian assaults on democracy and the American people.

Did Warty lie to me?
I read this story about a championship power lifting lady and feel like I was cheated. Sort of like when I met lesbians in real life and they didn’t look anything like the ones in the videos I had seen earlier.
These power lifting ladies don’t have the asses that Warty keeps going on and on about. Maybe it is because the hero of the story is a man who became a woman?
Oh, fuck off.
Start your own goddamn lifting federation.
Palate cleanser for you, Holiness.
That’s some mighty fine mouthwash.
Oof. Dear Jeebus.
I don’t think there’s another competitive sport where the human body’s hormones have a bigger influence on outcomes than powerlifting.
Also, as I understand it, olypmic weightlifting is where the hot girls are at. Strong(wo)man is where the Suicide Girls are at. Powerlifting doesn’t really punish carrying body fat, so that’s where you see portly competitors.
^This right here^
Competitive powerlifters understand that if they have more mass, they can generally lift more. More muscle, mo’ better, of course–but larger people also generally lift more.
Also, fuck that person. If you want to compete as a male-to-female individual, even with hormone therapy and low t-levels, you compete in the male class. You’ve had how many years of the benefit of male hormones working for you? I don’t care how you identify–you’re in a whole different strength class above individuals born with two x chromosomes.
Another thing is that once you reach a certain level of muscle mass, it becomes almost impossible to put on any more without putting on fat as well. I weigh about 255 right now, and I can’t make progress on any of my core lifts unless I spend a few weeks pigging out on beef, eggs, whey, and Greek yogurt.
Oh hey, this is IPF. there are a bunch of competing powerlifting leagues. IPF’s niche is that they are super strict on PED testing. This is in line with that niche.
Oh, yeah.
My favorite Oly lifter.
Jesus, what a snatch
I haven’t looked her up since then and I don’t want to.
My knees threatened to spasm just watching that.
I am also experiencing a spasm of some kind.
My favorite Olympic weightlifter
Oh. Em. Gee.
Powerlifting doesn’t really punish carrying body fat, so that’s where you see portly competitors.
That’s only true in the superheavyweight weight classes. Which is also true for Olympic weightlifting.
To be fair to girlbro here’s ass, I bet it’s a considerably better ass than it was before the lifting.
She can’t compete because she’s a fuckin’ dude. Sorry, man, that’s what’s up. Follow your dreams and all, and if you want to get hormone therapy and surgery and identify as a woman, you have my blessing, but at the end of the day you’re a man. I mean, if I put a body kit on a Honda Civic it doesn’t make it an M3.

Took me reading the story 3 times to figure out what kind of “ring” we are talking about. As in the kind worn on the finger or ring as in something circular. In this case the desired reading was “nanatsu” so seven circular ring shaped items. WTF that has to do with the lyrics of the song has me baffled as I was trying to figure out the news article.
Oops. Good thing it washes off, right?
Heard recently that a friend was living homeless in Durango, CO. Not sure if I should do anything about that, since I knew him prior to the homelessness. He was definitely getting schizo even before his lack of shelter, and there wasn’t anything I could say that would dissuade him. Also, not sure why he went to Durango, since he had lived in FL all of his life.
That sucks . I hope he’s ok.
Thx, Scruffy – me too, he was relatively ok until his late 30’s. I’d go to his place, and he’d mention these weird ~ Alex Jones type scenarios (Chemtrails, etc.). Eventually, I stopped going. I don’t know what’s happened, unless some of the anti-marijuana literature is true (he was a huge dope smoker). I’ve known the guy since he was 13, I’d rather not bail on him, but….Jesus.
Hope he gets some help. A friend of a friend developed Schizophrenia in college. He also ended up in Colorado for a while. While I wasn’t a close friend I saw him around enough to see the Schizophrenia develop. He’s pretty good now as long as he stays on his meds. He actually played on a rec softball team with us one summer, you wouldn’t know he was schizophrenic.
Also of note he was a big pot smoker in his youth too. Still not enough evidence to link Marijuana as a cause. It could be people with Schizophrenia are drawn to marijuana because it helps them cope.
Yeah, I smoked a fair amount of weed as well. Not trying to put forth new reasons for banning™ but it may be a factor in my friends issues, and I can’t ignore that.
“Yeah, I smoked a fair amount of weed as well”
You might say it’s baked into your handle.
The son of my wife’s best friend was a heavy smoker, until he went after his dad with a hammer. He’s now stable, clean and on meds living with his mother.
I think it can possibly bring out underlying schizophrenia, and I also think it can mask it until it no longer can.
I may be a complete botch, but I used to be an overhelper, taking on people with problems just because they needed to be helped/solved. It never made my life better and often made it worse, and those people never got out of their perpetual problems anyway. They were always grateful, but they learned nothing, and would have taken everything I had and then some.
My life got so much better when I stopped helping.
Caveat: 2 years ago, my best friend came to live with us for a while when she was homeless, and it almost ended our friendship of 30 years. My son and she didn’t get along. My daughter got overly attached and acquired a couple of bad habits, and as 2 weeks melted into 4 months (in her defense, she was actively working and saving to move), my husband was getting pissy. That was 2 years ago. She has not changed much about the way she lives her life and made her homeless in the first place.
So I think I have finally learned my lesson. Resources are finite, including emotional ones.
bitch*
Although botch works, all things considered.
Nah. I recently cut out a friend of 25 years after it became obvious he was going to bankrupt me.
Then again, it’s possible I’m a bitch too.
LOL

You cant save people from themselves Mojeaux.
