And fittingly, the week ended with me getting sick and having some massive… ummm… never mind, SP gets annoyed with me when I talk about it. So I won’t. But I will mention birthdays, which include the guy who inspired this site; an amazing asshole; one of the funniest humans to ever walk this planet; one of the greatest players to ever wear the black and orange; and the guy who put the ham in hamster (or maybe the other way around).
Oh yes, the news.

Good morning OMWC. I really like old propaganda art, but I don’t want some WPA or Soviet era programs to need them.
How did you know that I imbibed edibles last night for a sleep aid and it had the opposite of the desired effect? I Love that fucking song! Thanks, Old man.
I enjoy every Zappa song I hear, but I never went deep. With any of his music. It’s funny because he influenced a lot of what I listen to.
I had a buddy when I was a youngster that had ALL of Frank’s commercial output on vinyl.
Wow
When I started working at my last megacorp job, I was warned about the crusty old chemist who hated everyone, but particularly hated anyone with a doctorate and anyone who was his boss. I went over to his bench to chat and he was playing a YouTube vid of Latex Solar Beef. I grinned and sang along with the next verse. “You know that song?” “Fuck yeah, I could tell you the lyrics of every song on this album. And probably 90% of all the pre-1980 Zappa songs.”
First time he was ever impressed with a new boss. Definitely broke the ice.
That would be me. Tried to do Karaoke once but all they had was “Valley Girl”. Sad! I would have killed for some “Dirty Love” or “Camarillo Brillo”.
I can do those, but I’m more of an Electric Aunt Jemima or Dog Breath In The Year Of The Plague kinda guy.
“Dong work for Yoda” or GTFO!
(holy crap, would that be hilarious at karaoke)
I stopped smoking weed about 25 years ago because every once in awhile it would make me feel squirrely. This experiment has not wandered far from the consensus. In fact you might call it settled science.
Have you tried CBD’s alone? They work well on me and the dog.
I’d have to look into it. My brain ain’t wired like other people’s and the science is so unsettled. I just took it as a lark. Mind you, it’s only been three hours.
Yeah, the weed doesn’t do it for me.

Weed advocates are nearly as bad as tomato people. Yes, i’ve tried your 1879 Missouri heirloom tomato. No, I didn’t like it. Fuck you. I flat don’t like raw tomatoes. Shut up about it.

Marginally on topic, this St. Jude spokeskid always reminds me of birthday boy and Funny Human Buddy Hackett.
He does remind me of Hackett.
I like that kid, in spite of all his physical difficulties, he appears happy. Always seems to be grown up and concerned for the other kids at St Jude’s.
Okay, you’re killing me right now. Please stop before I cry again…
Cool! I only come here to toy with your emotions. That’s how you know I’m really a chick – it’s what we do.

Fascism results in the decline of industry. This comes as a bit of a surprise as we have never seen such a thing before.
Meaning comes from context. I can see how a finger gun could be construed as a threat but I would be loath to rule such.
Propaganda posters. Didn’t Obama do that bit already? Leftists, always and everywhere the same right down to the propaganda art.
Keep. your hands off of my junk. Period. It aint up for discussion.
” finger gun could be construed as a threat”
All my 6 year old friends (and I) would have been in the slammer for all the bad guys we encountered just walking to school. It went on for years, even without TV to emulate. Luckily we didn’t have recording devices, we’d have been on the internet FOREVER.
That is why I would be loath to rule such. Most of the time it isn’t and how does a third party determine which is and which isn’t? Context is important.
They give a farthing’s worth of shit for context. They want control by any means necessary.
Context is nebulous. “I’m gonna whip your ass” says one guy to another in a bar, as he buys him a beer. Parking lot, “I’m gonna whip your ass” as two old buds shake hands, go inside.
Now those same 6 year olds get suspended from school for a little cops and robbers.
It always seems like the real problems are caused by the quiet guy that sits in the corner, minding his business.
”a finger gun could be construed as a threat”
With my background and the hardware I used to own before that tragic boating accident I could never get away with this type of threat against anybody who could claim there were bad feelings behind it.
Propaganda posters. Didn’t Obama do that bit already?
Yes. But that sort of thing has a long history.
Resemblance to Soviet propaganda posters is purely intentional.
The Hollywood blacklist of communists was terrible, but blacklisting Leni Riefenstahl was somehow virtuous.
As I recall years later it came out that most of those people were dyed in the wool commies. Hollywood isn’t much different today.
Yup. They were trying to subvert your Republic from within.
Sadly, they succeeded.

I missed Zardoz/STEVE SMITH advice column last night, but I found out my MILFy kinda neighbor is a widow and moving away this fall. On a scale of ‘not very smart’ to ‘invading Russia in the fall’, how bad of an idea is it to go for it?
A going away gift? From you to her or vice-versa?
She’s a very nice woman and appears to be a good mother, so I’d frame it as two adults doing adult things and nothing more.
Hop on that Big Fella!
“She’s a very nice woman and appears to be a good mother”
Sounds like you like and respect her. So as long as you act accordingly it’s all good.
It’s a 2.3 on that scale – so my advice is at least try.
^this.
I’m not seeing the downside, except that you don’t intend to be in a long-term relationship, which carries it’s own perils, maybe not moral ones, but practical.
How badly does she want another father for her kids?
Ooooh. Hadn’t looked around that corner. GT has a cogent point!
Not sure, but I want zero part of that. The other neighbors said he was a great guy, and, well, I’m kind of a lowlife.
Yeah, now see if she were divorced, she’d at least be likely to be hauling a fair load of bitterness as baggage. I’d suspect a widow of harboring a more idealized memory of her marriage, especially if dead hubby was “a great guy.” Just sayin’. I don’t know what general warning might apply – maybe “Don’t stick it in nostalgic?”
That’s kinda where I’m at. But still, you know…
She might be lonely and horny, but then regretful . . . grief is complicated.
It can only end badly, but how bad if it does go down is the issue. She’s had me over to drink a bunch of times, so this isn’t entirely a theoretical exercise.
Yeah, she wants you and/or it, but the same caveats still apply.
…any port in the storm?
I understand that Alaska is rather low on the Female/Male ratio – especially outside the urban areas.
Even if this goes the way your little head wants it to go – you may be missing her more than you expect once she does leave.
On the other hand, you’re always going to be viewed in comparison to a dead guy who will inevitably evolve into a saint. Hard to come out looking good that way.
“Don’t stick it in nostalgic?”
Do you even renunion, brah (or sis or xis or whatever)?
STEVE SMITH SAY TAKE HER HIKING IN THE WOODS

STEVE SMITH SORRY. HE NOT USE LUBE.
You’ll regret not trying.
When we arrived home from the store yesterday we discovered a dozen emergency vehicles at the dead end of our road where the bayou bridge was removed a hundred yards from our house. Apparently my weird neighbor wrecked his 4 wheeler (I suspect alcohol or dope involved) and was trapped underneath his 4 wheeler. They must have been down there for an hour. That seems a bit odd. I suspect the accident was fatal. This comes as no surprise to me. How stupid and tragic.
Yikes. He didn’t know the bridge was removed, maybe?
I dunno. I didn’t go down there as I didn’t want to get in the way. One of the cops standing in the road told me that but he hadn’t been down there either and didn’t know if the accident was fatal.
Neighbor was weird. He had two daughters that used to stand at the bus stop every morning a few years back. I hadn’t seen them for a long time so assumed the graduated and left the nest. I used to see the wife coming and going in her car but haven’t seen her for a few years. My impression is that he was living alone in his trailer out of sight of the road. Occasionally I would hear echoing through the woods him playing music outside very loud and singing really terrible Karaoke style. I put him on the ‘nuts or dopehead’ list and assumed he was something of a pariah as I never see anyone coming or going from there. I would occasionally see him tear-assing up and down the road on his 4-wheeler, that’s it. I will find out more later.
Some people just ain’t cut out for society. I hope he’s okay.
Quads and booze are a real bad combo. I think this state has the highest per capita of ATV deaths.
I wouldn’t doubt that our Province is far behind. I’ve done stupid shit on a quad and I wasn’t even really going for it.
NIH claims we’re at 2.67/100,000 and the next closest is Wyoming at 1.31/100,000.
You’re in BC?
I hope he survived. One of the bosses at my plant was killed in an ATV accident this past May. You have to respect those things.
I have a 4 wheeler and a side by side that I use regularly, and God knows i have done some dumb shit in the past, but i like to think that i have learned and am lucky to have never seriously hurt myself.
I have a buddy I work with who I’m convinced is going to kill himself one day. He has a turbo RZR that he does incredibly stupid shit in every other weekend or so. I know he has flipped it and been ejected on 2 occasions already. I’m hoping that the monetary incentive of not having to fix it every time he drives it will eventually get him to calm down.
A woman in my office flipped her sideby a few weeks ago. She’s the most boring vanilla person on earth. I can only imagine how dumb things get when booze gets added.
The last few years I see more and more side-bys, with the family up and down the dirt road in front of my house. Often there are a ton in front of the only bar in town, they may be inside drinking soft stuff but the convenience store across the street sells the same thing cheaper. I dunno, I don’t care, unless they fall into another category. MN folks get killed on their snow mobiles, quads, side bys. The excitement is part of the fun.
*looks to see who wrote the sexism bit in Salon.
Aaaaah, Amanda Marcotte
Wow, I am a sexist, I think she is an idiot too.
Mandy disappeared for a while, but now I’ve seen her referenced twice this week. Too bad!
They replaced her at Slate and I kept calling the new girl “Mini-Mandy”. They didn’t ban me but they made damn sure I wasn’t welcome there no mo.
So you were commenting at Slate without using drugs?
Rehab probably, or checked herself into a rubber room. Oh goody, she’s out.
Roped some dope into marrying her, iirc.
She had some pants shitting hysteria piece on “gamergate” earlier this week. Everything she wrote was factually wrong, but facts be damned when there’s a narrative to push.
Gamergate. “Hey! Your Sister came on to ME! How many times do we need to have this conversation?”
I don’t play video games but I find the whole mess very interesting as a proxy for larger issues.
*Puffs imaginary pipe and nods once* Indubitably!
The main place I post has a gamergate joke thread and holy shit some of those twitter nutjobs are legit insane
Ah, GM….remember when one of Obama’s 2012 election slogans was “Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive!”? Those were fun days.
Fun, tingly days.
OT: job update. I spent a few days at the new place this week. It’s pretty chill as a law firm goes. Once the clients aren’t around everyone is cracking jokes and being their 12-year old selves, pretty much. I brought donuts on Thursday as a welcome and the firm returned the favor with BBQ takeout for lunch yesterday.
Also, I’ve been busy “reconciling” my old cases at the old office. So the good news is that all my old cases (except four) are being reassigned 🙂 which makes me happy as there were some real assholes / bitches of clients on that list. Pretty much all my misdemeanor clients were insisting on trials, which I told them was not reasonable. The four I am keeping are either being sentenced next month, one trial (dude is already jumping bond), and one kid who I’m the GAL for who’s about to be adopted.
So far all good things.
?
So… a lot like here?
Yeah. We are the nerd table that was always laughing about something that the Normies would never get.
12 years old? You think we’re that mature?
I’m giving us the benefit of the not-inconsiderable doubt. Or 12 in base three or something comparably nerdy.
*Steeples fingers* Excellent!
So on Thursday you had a party of the first part, and on Friday you had a party of the second part.
“Pretty much all my misdemeanor clients were insisting on trials”
We need more of this, not less.
Hey Lach! Great news about your work! Umpteen thumbs up!
Thanks festus. It feels good.
So that means you got it? Good for you! No more swing/night/holiday shift! (or maybe a little?)
I find out next week if I got a supervisor position.
Yep. Finally got the word yesterday. It will be nice to be at home every night.
Congrats, Lach. Welcome to Big Bureaucracy.
It’s nice when nice things happen to nice people. Congratulations, Lach. ???
Way to go!
Looks like the Glibs are moving on up to the East Side. Hope any/all that are still looking find a spot soon. Nothing more depressing than looking and not finding.
When I couldn’t find a job I began to have self doubts, not a good way to go through life. Then the unexpected happens and all is right with the world.
I did a misdemeanor trial last month – and lost even though I had found criminal (felony!) backgrounds on two of the witnesses. It was a super cute 12 year old witness who sunk that trial.
How could you let complete idiots onto the jury?
So you’ll make up on weekends all the snarky things you would have posted here during the week? Right?
Yes. It’s my other other job!
I am glad for you EF. The trouble with criminal law is that you have to deal with….criminals.
What sort of cases will you have at the new place?
It’s almost all family law at the new place. I will still get some criminals, but zero are court-appointed.
I am happy for you. Hopefully this will mean less grief for you.
“Circuit Judge Cheryl Ann Krause dissented from Friday’s decision, saying it exposed the government to “vast” potential liability that Congress did not clearly intend.”

“California appeals court OVERTURNS gun charge conviction against the illegal immigrant who was acquitted of murder after fatally shooting Kate Steinle on a San Francisco pier
Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate was acquitted of murder in the killing of Kate Steinle, who was walking on a pier with her father when she was struck by a bullet in the back in July 2015.
He was convicted of a single charge of being a felon in possession of a gun.
The case against Garcia-Zarate, who was in the country illegally and had been deported five times, touched off a fierce immigration debate that was a fixture in Donald Trump’s stump speeches in his 2016 presidential campaign.
The 1st District Court of Appeal overturned the gun conviction because the judge failed to give the jury the option of acquitting Garcia-Zarate on the theory he only possessed the weapon for a moment.
Garcia-Zarate said he unwittingly picked up the gun wrapped in a T-shirt, and it fired accidentally.
The bullet ricocheted off a concrete walkway and struck Steinle, who was with her dad and a family friend.
At the time, Garcia-Zarate had recently been released from the county jail while facing deportation proceedings.
He was released under San Francisco’s so-called sanctuary city policy that barred local law enforcement officials from cooperating with most federal immigration investigations.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7413107/Court-reverses-sole-conviction-San-Francisco-pier-killing.html
Why would the 1st Court hear it and not the execrable Ninth?
State not federal?
Ah, okay.
1st state district, I presume.
Gun laws in California apparently only apply to the taxpayers, not illegal immigrants.
I don’t trust a word of anything any court in California has to say. They don’t give a shit about facts, truth or law. They have a political agenda and operate like banana republic monkeys. I am calling bullshit on every bit of that.
“…The bullet ricocheted off a concrete walkway and struck Steinle…”
I would love to hear what the coroner had to say about this. A bullet ricocheting off concrete would be seriously distorted and given that it was moving at handgun velocity (actually, slower than that after bouncing off concrete) would most probably have been recovered.
Were that the case this would have been a case of astronomically bad luck for all involved.
See Suthen’s comment above. The whole thing is complete horseshit. The narrative must not be contradicted.
Definitely complete horseshit.
“Astronomically bad luck” was supposed to invoke that sense. The coroner’s report should have shut this down entirely.
Early on I had heard that he stole the gun from some LEO’s vehicle and he fired the gun at the pier because he was shooting at a seal or some such. It sounds like the whole story has changed and we still don’t know who the LEO is that had his gun stolen. The whole story stinks like hell. Were I the father of the murdered girl I would be in the market for a woodchipper.
We’ll never know who the LEO is. The LEO will protected to the fullest extent possible.
Yeah, strange how so many coincidences happened one after the other. Must be a lot of misplaced guns wrapped in old rags loaded and cocked laying around the streets in CA.
Jesus CHRIST! WTF!?!?! Are Illegal immigrants now just below government officials now on the “immunity from law” list?
“Garcia-Zarate said he unwittingly picked up the gun wrapped in a T-shirt, and it fired accidentally.
The bullet ricocheted off a concrete walkway and struck Steinle, who was with her dad and a family friend.”
I haven’t followed this at all, but is there any chance that this is the real story?
Almost zero chance. The story and circumstances have changed repeatedly.
The unbelievable part to me is just finding the gun and then ‘accidentally’ shooting it.
Even if that did happen, you are criminally stupid and should be put away for your safety and the safety of others.
Gere’s antics in Italy are full of shit.
What?
Do you guys read or glance the links?
It’s Gere’s birthday. I mentioned Gere is an asshole because he’s chastising the Italian government for blocking NGO’s filled with migrants. Worse, he’s questioning their morality. Before Salvini was ousted his measures of blocking the illegal ships were enormously popular. Italians aren’t biting that these are refugees. Salvini responded to Gere saying he’s free to take the migrants to his mansions.
This problem is real and serious.
This is why Di Maio and the left are also sons of bitches. They know Lega has the ‘will of the people’ backing Salvini.
Yes, I read the links, but it only said it was his birthday.
Yeah, I had no idea about any of that, also try not to listen to celebrities, their brain droppings are less interesting than my toddler’s.

Ocasio-Cortez is young, female and pretty, and as such, the target audience for this video is predisposed to think of her as a bimbo, and is ready to write off anything she says as dumb lady yapping, without bothering to absorb the actual contents of her speech.

That sentence is stroke inducing.
She is young and pretty and many, to their detriment, do like to dismiss her because of her appearance.
Actually it’s precisely the opposite with AOC. People are honing in the content of her speech and assertions because they’re so flippantly hilarious, ignorant, shooting and baseless.
From there, it’s concluded she’s a dumb lady yapping.

Since the NRA gets blamed for gun violence, can the NEA and the Teachers Union (which actually defends teachers who rape) get a shrieking town hall on CNN for their support of rape?
For Not Adahn, Suthen and the other folks with more experience….is it worth taking a set of 50 rd boxes from different brands to the range to test fire? For training/target ammo (.45 ACP) is there really much variety in quality? I’ve been looking at the Fenix ammo online (haven’t seen it in the store yet), and was thinking for the next range day it might be fun to take 4-5 50 rd boxes from different manufacturers just to try a little variety. (might buy a couple 10 rd mags first to make things more convenient).
I’ve done this before just to prove a point. I can’t remember how I got them all but I had about 8 different loadings of 45 ACP with different bullet types (JHP, lead RN, copper plated, etc.) and I loaded one 30 round magazine at random to see what a full-auto MAC-10 would function with. Turns out he’s a hungry beast and eats everything.
My FN-FNP not so much.
HK USP had no problems.
Well, I figure I’m supposed to keep at least one mag prepped with JHP for self defense, but (other than Fenix) it’s sold in the smaller 20 rnd boxes (more expensive too IIRC) – but for range use – use the steel ammo (they say steel or whatever, but it’s obviously non-ferrous and not the kind most ranges ban….should probably read the labels a little more)
Steel cased ammo is not the same thing as steel cored ammo which is not the same thing as AP ammo, but people think that it is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWEyEbg2-OA
I have no problem with my guns running steel cased ammo, but some do. Also, you can’t give away your spent casings to a reloader to be neighborly, but right now the expense consideration is outweighing the friendliness considerations.
Yes, it is worth it. Different loads shoot differently. They feed differently and the accuracy of any given load varies by what gun you fire it out of.
Try several different loads to see which you can shoot best and which ones your gun likes the best. Absolutely worth it. You learn a lot about your gun and how different loads perform by doing that.
Thanks!
When I was starting out, I tried out four or five different brands of practice ammo. There is a significant difference in feel and accuracy between brands.
I’ve never heard of Fenix ammo before.
Main point — extra mags are always a good idea.
Short answer – yes different manufacturers and different product lines from the same manufacturer will shoot differently.
Longer answer – whether or not the difference is enough to matter depends on what you’re trying to do with it. This morning I shot 12 targets, with scores ranging from a 55 to a 91. All the same ammo, but would I have been able to tell if each mag was loaded with different? Maybe in the split times… maybe.
At the pistol matches I shoot cheap $0.13/round aluminum cased ammo and beat people shooting match grade handloads because they suck even worse than I do. Hopefully at some point I’ll be good enough where worrying about ammo will matter, but until then as long as it feeds and cycles your gun properly, that’s the main consideration.

“Honestly, for a long time I generally only thought of consent as it relates to sex,” he burbled, “but through my work with Burning Man, I’ve learned how much it also relates to touch, food, photography and many other things too.” Like hugs: “Just because you hugged someone yesterday doesn’t mean you can surprise them with a hug today. . . . Ask every time.”
OFFS!
Easy. A guy about to hug me once asked me once if I come from a touchy-feely family. I said no, I come from a no-touch family. The look on his face was like I had slapped him.
Keep your hands to yourself and you can avoid a lot of awkward situations.
But surely you wouldn’t turn down a hug from some dude who may or may not have sodomized you (things still a bit hazy) in the orgy-dome the previous day? I would think at that point, consent to a hug was implied.

Trump Administration To Expand Research Into Marijuana While Advertising Its Recreational Dangers
Progress…?
For sure. The advertising bit is just fluff. The reality of allowing research and having large quantities of marijuana crops available for it is huge.
All the DEA is interested in is a budget increase. This “progress” will do that. It’s absolutely retarded for medical research to be “facilitated” by a police force. But why do this through the FDA bureaucracy when you you can put multiple bureaucracies on the job and slow down progress?
One would think they’d be reporting the spike in deaths and miscarriages due to increased potency in Colorado and Washington state. But they can’t since there aren’t any.
“I want to be very clear: no amount of marijuana use during pregnancy or adolescence is known to be safe – because we have done no research whatsoever.”
Just fucking reschedule it already. You could make it Schedule V with no involvement from Congress.
Where’s the money in that??
Libertarians tend to fall into two camps. There’s the rational based bunch who come to their political conclusions via deductive reasoning and research. And then there’s the conspiracy theory kooks.
Here’s something for both camps: I have magical powers. They aren’t broad spectrum, Samantha from Bewitched infinite powers. Rather, they are defined and limited. But of immense import. I have powers like Pat Robertson. I can control hurricanes.
You see, Dorian was headed for Florida. It was going to plow right into my area as a cat 4, cat 5 monster.
And then late yesterday things began changing. And now they say it will turn north and spare Florida much of its wrath.
So what happened in the interim? The weather guys will tell you a bunch of stuff about upper level steering high pressure zones and other nonsense. But I’ll tell you what really happened:
I dug out my generator. It started but wouldn’t run, so I had to take apart and clean the carburetor. And replace a hose. But nobody had the part, so I had to run all over town and in the end I just cut it and spliced it back together. After all my efforts, the generator is running fine. And then my wife was starting to get serious anxiety. So I hurried to get the shutters up. We have the big metal shutters that you have to bolt on. They are kinda heavy, and my big sliding glass doors in the back require a special metal adapter track to hold them – so they take a lot of horsing around to get them to fit. And then we had to start bringing stuff in….
And there you have it. I came in late last night, bathed in sweat and covered in wet dust and lizard poop (lizards are everywhere here. And they poop. A lot). And just like Pat Robertson before me – I moved the hurricane.
But my work isn’t done. A look at the computer models shows that there is still one weird outlier. See that green loop-the-loop track that goes through Orlando, out into the gulf and back through Florida? The bottom of that loop? Yeah, it is designed to target my house. It goes directly over my house.
Why? Because I haven’t finished all the prep work. I didn’t bring in everything. I left the heavy shutters off of the front window and i’m leaving the clamshells up until later tonight.. So the Hurricane Powers are leaving me on notice. They can be vengeful if not properly appeased.
So today I will put up the last of the shutters, bring in everything I own and then run to the store and make sure they don’t have any bread, milk, bottled water or gator aid. Apparently that stuff attracts hurricanes too.
There’s no need to thank me, good people of Florida. Just a quick note of thanks would be sufficient (Comey reference).
And as for the people living wherever the thing ends up going? Well, as Pat Robertson implied… f*#$ ’em.
Hey you must live pretty close to me. Thanks for scaring off the storm!!
I have been sitting on my ass, not doing shit and crossing my fingers. Looks like it paid off this time.
Whenever we need rain I just wash my car.
I hope you’re safe.
Called it! Do I get a cookie? Maybe I should look into being a weatherman!
When they were saying it was going to peter out into a tropical storm after hitting Puerto Rico, the wife and I were looking at that track across open tropical waters and there was just no way. That’s way too much uninterrupted warm water.
But aspersions aside, they have gotten much better at this stuff.
Some of the local radio personalities were reminiscing about how hurricane prep used to be. They fondly remembered cutting out the map from the Sun Sentinel and listening to radio updates with latitude and longitude, putting pins in the map to track the storm. And it was a big deal when forecasts moved from two days out to 3 days out. Some of the older folks recalled a time when they didn’t know until maybe the day before that a storm was headed their way.
They still seem relatively good 3 days out – but the 5 day cone is nigh useless.
But people who live down here take it seriously, Spartacus notwithstanding. I’ve been through 4 power outages of a week or more since I moved here in 2000. One was two weeks. That was no joke – everything started to mildew. I have no clue how people lived down here before air-conditioning.
I’ve looked into moving to Florida a few times. It’s just not in the cards for me and my family. It really is quite tempting. I hear great things about the west coast of Florida.
Well, in 1960 there were <5 million of you, and now theres 20+ million, so I'm gonna say, people mostly didn't live there.
+1 how Winter Park got its name
As someone who drives through Winter Park regularly, I can say it still applies, although it’s year round now.
I do take it seriously, I just didn’t think we were going to be affected here in Lee county unless the track shifted left (which actually happened for Irma) and the timing of the Atlantic ridge didn’t seem to support that. There were some hints in the forecast discussion 2-3 days ago, when they were saying the ridge might break down after 72 hrs, which slows the forward speed and allows it to turn north. I’ve lived in Florida since 1969 (except for two years of college), so I have been through a few storms and outages. After Irma it was a little over a week, but I know plenty of people who went more than two weeks…same for Charley.
I’m still glad for the turn. I’m scheduled to go to a reunion in Cocoa Beach in October, and now it looks like the hotel might still be there after next week.
Sorry, but the hurricane destroyed the city of Miami yesterday. The computer models are never wrong.
Hey! I used induction, inference, and abduction!
Has there been an outcry about Trump’s big publicity stunt of saying he won’t go to Poland(?) because he wants to be ready to respond to the hurricane?

Something something easily foreseeable consequences
“We are pleased to announce we have come to an agreement on a series of amendments to AB 1482 that would create strong renter protections,” said a statement from Newsom, Senate leader Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) and bill author Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco). “The bill will protect millions of renters from rent-gouging and evictions and build on the Legislature’s work this year to address our broader housing crisis.”
The agreement represents a dramatic shift in the debate over whether tenants would see any new limits on rent increases this year, and represents a political risk for Newsom as he backs a highly visible bill not assured of passage.
Prior to Friday’s announcement, the California Assn. of Realtors, which holds significant sway at the Capitol, had agreed not to oppose a weaker version of the legislation that would have capped rents at a higher percentage for a shorter time. The new bill in many ways reverts to an earlier version fiercely opposed by the Realtor group. The organization said after the deal was announced that it would lobby lawmakers to vote against the bill.
The bill, Californian Assn. of Realtors President Jared Martin said in a statement, “will not incentivize production of rental housing or help more people find an affordable place to live. It discourages new rental housing, which is why CAR, representing more than 200,000 real estate agents and brokers across California, strongly opposes it.”
We care so deeply about the homeless we want to make more of them.
Now MN wants to follow CA, give renters more ‘protection’ against those cash crazy owners because…pols understand votes more than economics…

For some reason I can’t articulate very well, I think that’s different. In my mind, political satire or purposely pushing political buttons is different. Dankula’s shirt was just crude and vulgar. I don’t know, I guess I can’t explain it, but I know the difference when I see it.
Or, I’m a hypocrite.
Dankula’s whole shitck is being crude and vulgar, which in turn lead to him almost being imprisoned.
Yeah, I get it. And don’t misunderstand me; I don’t think he should face any repercussions other than people like me calling him moronic and infantile. And I get why he’s doing it and applaud him for it. I guess I’m more thinking of the frat boys and rednecks that wear stuff like this for no reason other than to offend.

Cool your jets, haters
The Department of Justice has concluded that former FBI Director James Comey will not be prosecuted for his handling of memos he wrote describing his interactions with President Donald Trump. But the DOJ’s Office of Inspector General nonetheless concluded that his conduct did violate DOJ policy and his FBI contract. While the IG’s findings likely will result in no further penalties for Comey in light of his termination from the FBI, the report raises an important question about how we should treat whistleblowers. Criticizing Comey for mishandling documents that he felt conveyed an important threat to the public seems like scolding firefighters for getting your carpet wet while putting out a four-alarm blaze.
——
On May 16, Comey asked a friend and lawyer, Daniel Richman, to share the contents of Memo 4, but not the document itself, with a reporter from The New York Times. Comey said his goal was to get information about Trump’s interference with the Flynn investigation into the “public square” in hopes of creating pressure to appoint a special counsel to investigate.
——
Despite the strongly worded DOJ report, the decision not to charge Comey came as no surprise in light of the relevant law. A variety of criminal statutes covers mishandling classified information, but they generally require either knowing and willful violations or intent to harm the national security. Because the classification of Memo 2 occurred after Comey had disclosed the memo to his lawyers, knowledge and willfulness could not be established. Moreover, there is no evidence that Comey acted with the purpose of harming the national security. To the contrary, Comey said that he was acting out of love for country, DOJ and the FBI.
In addition, there is no evidence that Comey lied about his conduct regarding the memos. This was not a case of insufficient evidence — no crime occurred. Contrary to Trump’s assertions, Comey did not lie or technically leak classified information (although his lawyer did).
He meant well. He acted out of love for country. He was trying to save us from the unspeakable horror of a Trump Presidency. He’s a hero, America.

I like the way we keep avoiding the real issue at hand: Namely, that people inside the government bureaucracy used the power of the government to first influence an election and second to sabotage and attempt to remove a president.

“Whistleblower”
Just… wow.
Despite the lack of markings, the memo was classified from the moment it was created because it contained information that was classified. The markings don’t mean anything, that is Classification 101. The author is covering for Comey.

I am pretty sure the president can decide what is and isn’t classified. Whether or not the release of the information is wise is the only thing up for discussion here.

Note the contrast between this story and the one about Comey’s handling of FBI memos.

Bernie Sanders has revealed he and his team have been working on an alternative to gasoline: an innovative new idea of burning a giant pile of tax dollars instead of outdated, harmful fossil fuels.
Sanders experimented with hundreds of different blends, from a mix of coins and dollars to pallets of hundred-dollar bills. But he finally settled on a giant pyramid of cash when he made his big breakthrough.
“All you people care about is money,” Sanders said as he tossed a specialty Venezuelan cigar he had imported onto the big pile of cash. “We need to start caring about the environment, and if the best way to do that is to destroy the economy by burning all the cash, that’s what I’m going to do.”
The presidential candidate added that “it’s not about money; it’s about sending a message to climate change deniers: ‘Everything burns.’”
When questioned on further details on his environmental plan, Sanders asked, “Do I really look like a guy with a plan?”

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani suggested that if a meeting with President Donald Trump were to take place that the United States would have to bow down to Iran and repent from “economic terrorism” against Iran.
“Those who have imposed sanctions on our people, and have carried out economic terrorism – any change in our conduct toward them must start with their repentance,” Rouhani said in a video translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute. “They must return to their obligations, and change the erroneous path they have chosen. They must act in the service of the world’s interests and security, while maintaining respect for the other. They must recognize our revolution, our regime, and the rights of our people, and they must reject their mistakes. With regard to the relations between Iran and America – unless America gives up the sanctions and rejects the erroneous path it has chosen, we will see no positive change.”
“If you lift all the sanctions and bow down before the Iranian people, the circumstances will be different,” Rouhani continued. “We want to resolve the issues and problems in a reasonable manner, but we are not interested in photo-ops. If someone wants to have his photo taken with Hassan Rouhani – well, that’s impossible. It can be done with Photoshop, but a real photo is impossible, unless one day they lift all their unjust sanctions, and respect the rights of the Iranian people. Then we would be talking about new circumstances, and we could reconsider it.”
This guy gets it! This is perfect Trump speak.
Expect a response somewhere between:
“I love the Iranian people. And the Iranian people love America. But these Mullahs and Roo-han-nee… these guys. They’re terrible, just terrible. The Iranian people are lovely. They really need to do something about their leaders, but they are lovely people.”
and
“I’ll give him a photo op. He can blow me, then we can discuss changes in the Iranian government. There’s his photo op.”

Whites are the least likely to be gay.
IFLS
I’m extremely skeptical that Hispanics (a highly religious demo) are more likely to identify as gay than whitey.
I call complete bullshit, for the most part, Hispanics are a lot more religious than Americans and also they have that machismo thing going on. So I’d say a lot more difficult/taboo for them to come out, in general.
And by Americans I mean your typical WASP, which is who the left and our media always identify as the bad Americans.
The relative rates of blacks and whites conforms to my personal experience, therefore their crappy self serving poll must be right.
SCIENCE!
Polls are typically not right when you start with a desired outcome and so skew your questions to achieve that. Sort of like how you get whatever outcome you want in a study because you have a biased desired outcome. Just start with ‘because of Trump/ global warming’ and you get there.

I’ve always felt that the left’s worst flaw is not the ability to accept reality and try to deal with it the best way possible, but their complete lack of understanding of human nature. They just keep striving to build the new soviet man and it keeps blowing up in their face because obvious reasons. We are programmed for survival of the fittest and get what’s best for my own survival. And it’s hilarious to watch them demonstrate that exact trait while condemning everyone else for being human as well.
Yes, they completely discount how incentives work. That is also a rejection of reality.

They’re sort of like us. We got embarrassed because GayJay/Weld and dancing fat guys, so we changed our preferred self description to ‘glibertarians’. Their issue is not being able to admit they’re trying to distance themselves from themselves by changing preferred identity descriptor. Sort of like in that video you linked where the guy ponders the fact that calling a gay person queer was like the N word 5 minutes ago, but now it’s the correct term. I was just joking about libertarian/glibertarian, but it’s a good example.
“Queer” got “taken back” and now it means “political gay”. It’s no more correct than black people calling each other nigga.
They do that a LOT. Just walk around some on the streets in Balmer (not recommended unless you have a good reason, like work) and every other minute you will hear ‘Hey niggah!’. It’s only bad when whitey says it.

“political gay”
Yeah, I know. I think if our gay friends just kept talking about it 24/7 we wouldn’t still be friends. It’s sort of like if every time I see a gay friend I’m like ‘Hey, I’m straight, did you know that? I love pussy!’. Activist are the most annoying people on the planet no matter what their cause it. I remember one time we were walking near the National Aquarium and this sweaty fat guy holding a sign runs up to us and says ‘Free the whales, free the whales’ and I said ‘Looks like you’re already free, now get the fuck out of my space’. Wife was horrified that I said that, but it worked, dude backed off fast and walked away.

Jesus has some weird fetishes.
Daddy issues.
Nailed it.
“you should consider changing up the type of porn you watch as well”
I thought that was a given?
Two hour round.
Teed off at 7, shot 85 from tips, two lost balls.
Two lost balls.
Ouch. Sorry don.
These are the Doritos type: they’ll make more.
I’m enjoying your Friday weather. Sitting on the sidewalk waiting for my pizzeria to open.
Stabbed in the back, by a bunch of misogynist backstabbers
It’s possible, even likely, that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) was always destined to make an early exit from the Democratic presidential primary campaign. The pack of candidates is overcrowded — breaking away and into the top tier was always going to be a huge challenge for any candidate not named Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders.
Elizabeth Warren managed it. Gillibrand could not.
But there is another, unsavory possibility. Consider this: It is likely that Gillibrand’s candidacy would be alive and well if she hadn’t called on Sen. Al Franken to resign in the face of sexual harassment allegations in 2017 — and that, as a result, Gillibrand is yet another woman whose career has been unnaturally shortened or damaged by forces determined to protect a powerful man from the consequences of his actions.
Maybe Democrats aren’t universally sincere about their commitment to the #MeToo movement. And maybe Gillibrand just paid the price for that.
She acknowledged that possibility Wednesday when she dropped out of the presidential race.
“We know there were donors who were angry about it and did not support me because of it,” Gillibrand told The New York Times. “I wouldn’t change what I did, because I would stand with those eight women again today.”
It’s also possible she’s a useless idiot, and the vast majority of people can see it plainly.
I’m beginning to doubt Democrats’ commitment to Sparkle Motion.
Oh and for the record, Gillibrand was one of the last hacks to jump on the #metoo bandwagon. People might ‘member that despite her and the media’s attempts to re-write history.
She looked (to me) far too much like a poorly aged Veronica Mars to ever appeal in any way.
Hey Lachowsky, congratulations on the job upgrade. Ditto to ElspethFlashman. OMWC, get well already. Suthen, I’m glad you’re better. Sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone else with recent news. Thank you for mentioning Cousin Richard’s chatterboxery in the links (seriously, I don’t think I’ve heard him string more than 3 words together since his teens; taciturn is an understatement). We’re on day 5 with no AC and Hey Presto! now on day 2 of broken fridge. Landlord is on it but damn, for a City That Never Sleeps™, shit sure closes early and doesn’t put much effort into timely scheduling.
Thanks IO, and my your chilling systems become functioning again.
Your AC picked the right week to crap out. I haven’t needed mine at all this week – until last night I indulged at bed-time.
Florida woman
“Not only was [redacted] sure she would not pass a DUI test when police responded to a report of a drunk woman seated in a gray Acura with the engine turned off — the 62-year-old [Florida] motorist tried to bet law enforcement officials she would more than double the state’s legal blood-alcohol limit of .08. Westerlund then blew that expectation out of the water, according to Sumter County [in central Florida] police.”

Now this is precious : PolitiFact did one of their bullshit fact checks on some Facebook meme showing a photo of Biden with Robert Byrd where Byrd is identified as a Grand Wizard of the Klan. They rated it “mostly false” because….he was an Exalted Cyclops, not a Grand Wizard
Thank goodness they cleared that up!
