Happy Sunday to all, and I dearly hope you’re doing drunk posting of dick jokes from church. “Sunday” derives from the Latin term for “mimosas with a screwdriver chaser.” So that’s how we’re doing OUR Sunday. It is Cinco de Mayo, so drinking is obligatory- we’re moving to tequila next.
There are Cinco de Mayo birthdays, including someone who actually was worse than Hitler; a brilliant vocal blackface artist; and a guy who put American cuisine on the map.
Now for news. I’ll be busy drinking today.
Apparently, black and white horses are segregated.

Is everyone else to hungover to post?

I managed to remove part of my finger yesterday with an angle grinder. Something one-handed something euphemism

Sorry.
I’m not hungover, but I haven’t been awake for very long.
I biked up to a local brewery for an early lunch. They have Cinco specials, so I may be here for a while.
At some point soon, I will take a shower, get dressed, and go get lunch at one of the local brewpubs.
Just finished some smoked chicken enchiladas, and sipping a special DIPA with lime, cilantro, and habanero. All I’ve got on the schedule today is to head over to my sister’s place for my nephew’s birthday celebration. I’d call this a good day.
You put cilantro in your beer?

Something very strange is happening.
There is some sort of incredibly bright light coming from the sky, instead of blobs of water. I’m confused.
Same here. 2 days in a row, might put the top down and just cruise with Mrs Bum.
The water moved east.

I don’t mind that much – this is a good soaker, not a damned thunderstorm. Only would’ve been better if workweek instead of weekend.

You lost. Move on already.
As a kid I grew up listening to Amos & Andy on radio. They were hilarious, Sunday night, whole family sitting around the radio. catching Jack Benny, Edgar Bergen, Amos & Andy. I got married (first time) in ’61, raced home in Augusta, Georgia to watch A&A on TV, every afternoon about 4-5 PM. The situations were funny, the characters were funny, it was good times to be young.
SP and I found the old A&A TV shows on YouTube. They were delightful, still funny, and had wonderfully human characters. No idea why this became taboo.
I’m a huge fan of the radio series. Apparently, so is television comedy; so many A&A plot lines have been recycled by a wide variety of sitcoms over the years.
A lot of the old Amos and Andys are on YouTube and they’re still funny.
“The Kentucky Derby is closely intertwined with black Americans’ struggles for equality”
That’s where I said: this is BS. Then saw I was on salon.
Yeah, I spent many a year living in a predominantly black community and spent a great deal of my youth running around with black and hispanic hoodrats on the weekends. At no point have I ever heard a black person bring up the subject of horse racing, much less the Kentucky Derby. And most certainly never heard anybody link their struggle for ‘equality’ to the subject.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say the VAST majority of black people couldn’t give less of a fuck.
I’ll say the vast majority of white people (also) don’t give a fuck.
Not to mention the Preakness!
So those lawn statues don’t depict what the actual riders look like?
Damn allergies have killed me this year. I’m achy and stuffed up.
I can relate, I doubled my cetirizine dose to 20 mg a day (it’s prescribed off label at up to 40 mg per day) and it worked like a charm.
Every allergy medicine I’ve ever taken makes me so groggy and cloudy minded that I prefer to go through the discomfort of the allergies.
Gotcha, that can be an issue for a lot of people. For what it’s worth, fexofenadine works for some of those who have those issues, I actually switched off of it because it wound me up too much.
You could try the bee pollen route. The girlfriend said it helped. I can’t help, no allergies that I’ve ever found.

Yesterday I read, in the print edition of the Wall Street Journal, a column by that doddering old biddy Peggy Noonan about the imminent collapse of American society. This can be forestalled by making the government bigger and more powerful, and by rounding up inner city youth into forced labor camps and making them to build rods and bridges.
Like this, maybe
It’s just pointless to pretend we can make the government smaller, so let’s embrace Big Brother. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.
Has anyone asked Major Trouble for his opinion?
In the garden shed, with a pipe wrench.
OT: my mom was in ER yesterday. She was still very confused, paranoid. Right now they think it is caused by a recent medication change.
When I first saw her she seemed quite with it, but then she started having very odd explanations for the sounds and the lights of a busy ER. And got in a long winded argument with my dad about the settings of the iPad. And her short-term memory was completely shot but she did recognize me and EF and LH Jr. Very strange to see this from a woman who – like the rest of the family – is fairly stoical in outlook. It was like hearing the paranoid rantings of the tinfoil hat brigade.
Doctor there decided to keep her overnight, and possibly another night so they can run some more tests. He also thinks dementia may be at play here but she was completely normal (well for my mom) two weeks ago before she started taking Trazodone. We shall see. I’m glad they took her for the night so my dad can get some rest and some food. He’s been at his wits end trying to help her.
I’m Sorry to hear that man, I’m glad you were able to get her to the ER though.
I remember your comment the other day about your concerns.
Hopefully it was the medication and things get better. I’ve been dealing with the dementia issue with my father in law and I wouldn’t wish that anyone except a very select few.
Thanks – I wonder if she’s been hiding her mental decline and the medication is just revealing it. Don’t know. Will find out as the day(s) pass and she gets some decent sleep, food, and is off the medication. Alzheimers runs rampant on both sides of my family so it is always a concern. Her aunt, for example, spent the last ten years of her life in a closed facility for dementia patients.
I can relate and sympathize with you, LH. Many of my classmates/ friends have/had the Golden Age Rage. Several are in nursing homes now. Probably the most scary thing to face, my mother-in-law was in a nursing home for about 10 years after a stroke. She didn’t speak English and of course the facility had no VN speakers. When we visited, which wasn’t often ’cause we lived a a 1000 miles away, the poor lady would hold my hand and not let me go. Her passing was a blessing to her family.
Good luck to your mom and all your family.
Yeah, it is about as terrifying as it gets, knowing that your entire personality can change due to physical changes.
My grandfather was one of the smartest people I’ve ever met – he had 3 successful businesses and ran them with an ethos of serving the community. When he “retired” he gave pretty much all of the money to the church where he served as a deacon for a major chunk of the 20th century.
Then dementia set in. He became more insular in his thinking – unable to quickly process conversations like he used to, he’d go on long speeches. Later he became belligerent and then just angry. In his last few years, the man who had basically run the county for some 50 years and was fastidiously kept in his person and effects was an angry shut-in who would wear the same T-shirt (with some of his meals on it) for days. We had a hard time keeping nurses to help him because he was so mean to them. This from the guy who was on a happy first name basis with every one of the three to four thousand residents of his home town.
He was not the same person – not even the same guy but just angry or forgetful – his personality was completely different. If you were not looking at him you wouldn’t know you were talking to the same person.
It was really hard to watch.
The experience brought on a lot of questions for me about who we really are. We have this perception that we are something greater than simply flesh – yet when it comes right down to it, making changes to the meat between your ears changes who you are. Look at people with head trauma – someone like Gary Busey – a huge personality change after a head injury.
I wonder if she’s been hiding her mental decline and the medication is just revealing it.
That’s a possibility. My grandmother was very good at hiding her decline and slide into Alzheimer’s. A stay in the hospital after a fall was what brought things to a head. She was on the sixth floor and claimed there was a little kid looking through the window.
Sorry, LH. That’s some scary shit. Dementia is heartbreaking – let’s hope it’s a reaction to the meds.
Sorry 🙁
Sorry. Hopefully things get better soon.
Hoping for the best. It’s an ugly existence for everyone involved.
Much too abrupt a change to be dementia. Sounds like a mild delirium. Trazodone can definitely cause confusion. It should be stopped immediately.
What did they put her on trazodone for? Depression? Sleep aid? Take her off, there’s much better options for both indications.
That’s the plan = it’s been 30+ hours without Trazodone – she’s still confused and paranoid but apparently a little less so after two IVs.
My physician brother is guessing Serotonin Shock – turns out she was already on an anti-anxiety med and the PA added 50-mg of trazodone on top of that.
Originally prescribed as a sleep inducer since she has been suffering months with insomnia.
Yes, Serotonin Syndrome may be the call.
Champagne, vodka and then tequila? It will end up a colorful day.

Off the rails
The debate over allowing the Boston Marathon bomber to vote started with a man named Rick in Muscatine, Iowa.
At a town hall in early April, he reminded Bernie Sanders that prisoners in his home state of Vermont are allowed to vote and asked if that right should be extended nationally. Sanders agreed it should, and before he knew it, he was being asked variations of the question at Fox News and CNN town halls. Sanders’ critics pounced, and the conservative outrage machine kicked into gear, fueled by President Donald Trump.
The chain of events didn’t start by accident: It was orchestrated by the American Civil Liberties Union, which is coaching activists like Rick as part of a multi-million dollar, below-the-radar campaign to get the 2020 candidates on record about its civil liberties priorities. In Hanover, N.H., an ACLU-linked voter got Kamala Harris’ commitment to support adding a third-gender marker on federal ID cards. The group is also putting Democratic hopefuls on the spot with sensitive questions about immigration and abortion rights.
The ACLU is going to get the Democrats on the record as to whether they support the ACLU action plan. Asking prefabricated gotcha questions and posting the answers to youtube. We’ll invent a slew of new positive rights. As for those pesky gun nuts (and the weirdos who believe in freedom of association and crap like that), they’ll be granted their rights to psychiatric help.
I didn’t know LoneWacko was running the ACLU.
If you don’t support voting rights for murderers who are currently serving sentences for their murders you’re a right-wing whacko.
“right should be extended nationally”
If it’s such a good idea why not convince the state houses to do it? Oh because people don’t actually think prisoners should actually vote.
Dave Smith put it pretty well. Voting is not the basic human right. Life and liberty are. And we don’t seem to have a problem stripping prisoners of those rights.
Sanders’ critics pounced…
Always with the pouncing.
federal ID cards
Buried lede?
The title of that Politico article is about how the ACLU is “setting themselves up for a field day against Trump”. Because, presumably, the ACLU knows what’s best for us. If they think getting a third gender option on my driver’s license is Job One, they’re barking up the wrong tree.
I’m not sure exposing themselves as a bunch of doctrinaire zealots who are completely out of touch with the concerns and desires of the vast majority of Americans is going to play out as a big win over Trumphitler.
You mean Joe and Jane Sixpack aren’t very enthusiastic about transgenderism, a borderless society, and partial birth abortions? GTFOOH!
I know you are, but what am I?
Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., on Friday sent a letter to the Department of Justice’s inspector general demanding he investigates whether the White House had urged Attorney General William Barr to investigate President Trump’s political opponents.
“That’s what i would do. I’d be up their asses with a microscope. I’d have the FBI going through their trash every night.”
The FBI is defined as political opponents to Trump.
Loretta Lynch asks: bitch – what? Am I chopped liver?
“White House had urged Attorney General William Barr to investigate President Trump’s political opponents.”
I don’t think that the White House needs to ‘urge’ anyone. The Democrats have done that all by there lonesome. It just so happens to be that the vast majority that clearly need ‘investigating’ are Trump’s political opponents. You know, because they weaponized federal agencies against him… and still managed to lose the election.
Uh-oh. Here comes their play to give the media an excuse not to cover all the investigations into the weaponized FBI spying on the Trump campaign and creating the fake Russian narrative. They’re just going to say it’s an investigation demanded by the white house against Trump’s enemies, and so will be decrying the investigation, and ignoring what it finds.
Quote from the UGA prof: “The University of Georgia has a process to investigate allegations such as these which is designed to protect the rights of the accusers and the accused.“
As my grandmother always says when someone says something stupid, Oh bless your little heart!
Homie is fucked. Big time. Whether he did it or not.
“The University of Georgia has a process to investigate allegations such as these which is designed to protect the rights of the accusers and the accused.“
Does it involve bringing in 3rd party investigators and a judicial process that isn’t controlled by the University?
“There must be no doubt that the Department of Justice and its leadership stand apart from partisan politics, and resist improper attempts to use the power of federal law enforcement to settle personal scores,” she wrote.
Oh, okay.
She forgot the #resist.
Wow. That guitar playing.
Mechant.
Don’t guys like that piss you off? It looks effortless and sounds perfect.
Totally. Smooth like silk.
Can anyone explain the logic of the Pro-Pali camp that Israel is committing genocide by not letting themselves get rocketed? If Israel wanted to commit genocide, it has one of the best militaries in the world. Wiping Gaza off the map would take one, two weeks tops(?) if they really were doing what they are accused of. And yet the canard appears over and over again from their allies in the Leftist press.
Logic? No logic there. They just hate Jews.
Or that. I was always suspicious of their ‘you can criticize Israel and not hate Jews’. Logically, yes you can. With a sane person.
Not these assholes on the progressive left. They’re just anti-semites and don’t have the balls to admit it.
The prog/left is very fond of self-hating Jews.
I have never met a self-hating Jew. Most of the people I’ve seen described that way seem to think very highly of themselves. It’s all those other Jews who are the problem.
Oy! Very true.
They’re just redefining ‘genocide’ to a vert low standard by which self-defence qualifies.
Of course, only applied to Israel.
Israel is never going to win the PR racket with the left. Never. No matter what.
Only its destruction will allow it to live in peace.
Genocide is perfectly acceptable, as long as it’s being performed by a certain religion or political belief.
I think you mean “throwing off the yoke of a colonialist oppressor”

Question for someone more knowledgeable than myself: where does the Israeli military actually rank among world fighting forces? I presume that it is better equipped and more effective than most in the region but I could be wrong.

Not bad for a country with the population of NYC.
I remember reading a few years back somewhere, some guy talking about how the Israeli army was once upon a time bad ass but it has receded quite a bit over the yeas.
As an aside….
Total personel USA: 2.1 million.
Canada: 94 000.
Canada doesn’t need an army. If anyone invades, the Zoolander PM will just give them a dashing boyish look, and they’ll surrender. That’s the plan anyway. If that fails, they’ll say the invaders have to take Justin Bieber. That should finish it.
As long as he doesn’t unleash Chad Kroeger. That really would be a war crime.
Release the Kroeger!

A little resistance is OK, as long as you commit to a 5-10 year plan for your self destruction, like most of Europe.
Not that it makes any difference, but I still don’t understand the dq in the race yesterday. Was a 65-1 longshot too painful for some big bookies or something?

“Jim Crow laws destroyed gains black people had made since emancipation”
And who was responsible for that?
If you have to tell people you are smart, you’re not. If you have to tell people you are funny, you’re not. If you have to tell people you are not delusional…..well. You know.
A senior HAMAS official is a lying sack of shit. That’s 30M that wont be used to buy bombs and missiles and pay families of murderers.
Whut? Bloody Marys have been around forever.
“Jim Crow laws destroyed gains black people had made since emancipation”
I don’t even believe that anyway. Blacks were making steady gains both educationally and economically from the Civil War in spite of Jim Crow. What poleaxed their gains was the Great Society and the War on Poverty. Turns out wrecking the nuclear family and getting people dependent on handouts is pretty damn destructive.

Oh…and the blacks and horses thing is a canard. I live in a town where I regularly see blacks riding horses downtown. I dont think they have much interest in the pretentious horse racing scene, but they damned sure ride.
When I want to know what black men think, I turn to a homely white history professor named Katherine Mooney.
“A Miami-Dade cop has been arrested two months after he was caught on camera violently detaining a black woman who called police for help with a neighborhood dispute.
Officer Alejandro Giraldo has been charged with misdemeanor battery and felony official misconduct over the incident, which sent shockwaves through the community.
On March 5, Giraldo was one of six officers who responded to a call from Dyma Loving, 26, whose white neighbor allegedly threatened to shoot her ‘blacka*s face off her neck’.
After police arrived, Loving’s interactions with Giraldo and the other officers somehow turned tense, and Loving’s friend began recording the exchange – which she later posted on the internet. ”

Gun Club 82 bills itself as a “Luxury Guntry Club” and a “place where you can eat, drink, have fun, meet people, and enjoy firearms in a safety-conscious environment (emphasis theirs), all under one roof in Gilbert, Arizona.”
It’s not clear if Gun Club 82 will prevent patrons who consumed alcohol in the restaurant from popping off rounds at the shooting range; that’s not spelled out in public record or on the club’s website.
Way back in the day on the Swiss Rifle board someone posted about a trip to Switzerland. His host took him target shooting. The range they went to had a bar. Folks would have one beer or one glass of wine before shooting, go shooting, put some solvent in the bore, then go back into the bar to have more to drink. No one batted an eye at it.
Sounds perfectly civilized.
I assume the gun club will be like the indoor go-kart place here – you get a wristband if you’re going to be karting, they won’t serve you if you have a wristband / can’t kart if you don’t.

‘We are a part of a vast army of voices that are not accepting silence,’ the Austin, Texas-born beauty said at the Mastercard-sponsored function, which was attended by an estimated crowd of 1,500.”

Left this in the last post, but in regards to the tipping for alcohol thing I posted this:
The only thing I’ll add is that I find it crazy that in the 20+ years I’ve been legally drinking the tip is now more than the drink used to cost.
That’s why I drink at home most of the time. Admittedly, I like drinking in bars more. But, yesterday, I had 3 Stella Artois at the bar, $15. Then the tip with the drinks and meal, if I averaged out, would mean I paid about $20 for 3 beers. Then I bought another 6 pack to take home, $11. So almost 2x the price to drink in the bar. Beer is expensive here, but at least it’s not like NYC, where I paid $12 for one Stella, no tip included.
Exactly. I don’t go out much anymore for that reason, plus the driving thing and I don’t like people anymore… I partied enough in my 20s for two people, so I’m pretty much burnt out for that sort of thing anymore.
If my wife and I go to happy hour where drinks are half price, we can still leave with a 40-50 dollar tab without a tip. I used to spend little more than that in one night drinking from after work until close.
Now get off my lawn!

So I watched about 10 videos on Youtube yesterday to learn how to wrap a burrito. Looks really simple. Damnit! I’m declaring myself burrito wrapping challenged. Now which way is it to the special privilege store, so I can collect my victim points?
Wait until you try rolling sushi.

That means he immediately resigns as mayor, right? Right?
Now THIS is how you fight those fighting campus wokeness….
What a world we live in.
So much to unpack in that.
someone who accused another student on a whiteboard of never having “eaten a dick.”
Wait, that’s an insult?
Don’t let Swiss see the first comment thread
Hand me that brick, wouldja? I’ve got a clear shot at a window.
But let’s assume for argument’s sake that the concern is correct. Even if all the additional income generated by working women were spent on goods and services whose prices had increased because of their employment, that itself would be evidence that their presence in the labor force is a good thing. Women would be revealing that they believe they are better off working, even if their paid labor doesn’t increase their income after expenses. After all, why else would they be working if it didn’t make them better off in some broader sense?
The thesis here is that even if the returns to a second income are consumed by additional costs, we shouldn’t care. The wife takes a job, and then must pay for child care, et c. But she’s better off, because reasons. And think of all the babysitters, and dry cleaners, and maids, and other assorted sundry workers who would be out in the cold if she were to stay home and do that dreary housework stuff herself.
My friend & his wife have 3 kids – her working is a net-loss, financially, but it keeps her from going (futher?) insane, so she continues.
She’s a guidance counselor – if anything, they have to work even less than teachers; all those arguments about lesson planning and grading homework go right out the window.
“Do you want more Supreme Court justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or do you want more justices like Brett Kavanaugh?”

How about “none of the above”?
Better is the enemy of good.
I forgot. Andrew Napolitano is an Enemy of the State (TM) now.
“Do you want more Supreme Court justices like
Ruth Bader GinsburgElena Kagan or do you want more justices like Brett Kavanaugh?”Do you really have to ask?
RBG’s corpse decompose yet? Given the smell, I figured “Weekend at Ruth’s” would’ve wrapped up filming by now.
“The Dukes of Hazzard ran 147 episodes over 7 seasons and a large number of 1969 Chargers were destroyed in filming. Some sources place the figure at over 300. ”

wow
“When production ended, 17 General Lees – in various stages of disrepair – survived.”
As a kid I remember sometimes noticing the car had changed slightly from one scene to another.
‘Murica!
I like “The Dukes of Hazzard”.
I watched John Wick for the first time a couple weeks ago and mentioned to my dad that it should be illegal to wreck those old cars now. He agreed.
I frigging loved that show as a kid, it was the tv highlight of the week. Friday nights we watched it religiously, and got to stay up until after the opening theme to Dallas, which played after it. I think it was one of the most libertarian friendly shows ever made. it was was actually surprised to see that Amazon Prime has all the episodes for streaming. Would have thought they would have memory holed it.
Nancy Pelosi fears Trump won’t leave White House if he loses 2020 election by small margin
Well, considering that he is going to win the election by a huge margin, we don’t have to worry about that now, do we?
Nancy is worried Trump will act and his supporters will act like the Democrats did after the 2016 election.
With the current ridiculous state of IP law, I think this guy would have a sound case if he were to bring a copyright infringement case to court.
What with movie companies desperately licensing every comic out there, Sonichu: The Movie is only a matter of time.
