The magnificent SP is unavailable this evening, so you’ll just have to make do with me!
Finally, some benefit to veganism… Wait a second…
Well, how about a palate cleanser after that one? I can’t tell you how many Super Bowl parties I’ve been to where fights broke out over the last bowl of lentil soup…
Maybe let’s move away from food.
“In 1944 at the height of WWII, the top tax rate was 94% for those making over $2.6 million. In the face of the existential threat of climate change, shouldn’t we ask the wealthiest among us to contribute a little more?” Apparently, 70, 80, or 90% tax rates are “a good place to start.” Sorry for the cancer, glibs.
Bold move, Cotton. I’m sure this will be well received by the typical Super Bowl watching sportsfan.
Gather your pearls and fainting couches. And maybe a huge grain of salt before you tackle this one. “In a normal, sane world, where the judicial process functions as it was designed to function, there would be only one, obvious answer to such a question, and one, obvious outcome.” So if you disagree, you’re obviously a sexist jerk, or something.
I’ll conclude these links with a little justice, finally.

No.
How about you ask all you want, and the ‘wealthiest among us” are free to send as big a check as they want to the treasury.
How about she use accurate language, like “force at gunpoint” instead of “ask”, and “hand over, or else” instead of “contribute”?
The truth doesn’t sell.
I bet it would.
The thing nobody asks is whether or not you’d like to go back to a WWII-era standard of living as well.
Granola Bars? WTF Mississippi?
Fuck it. You’re getting my theme music then.

Props to the states offering Buffalo chicken dip. Tasty stuff.
“This is is the first time the Washington Post will air a commercial during the Super Bowl.”
Glass half-full, it can’t be any worse than Moron 5.
I thought it was Ben Folds 5? Whatever, shittayto/shittahto
This year’s half time show will be dog walking time.

My kids and wife may do that. I will make sure I don’t even accidentally see a moment of Maroon 5.?
“I’ll conclude these links with a little justice, finally.”
How about a little Lone Justice.
Good song. Good band.
Goid day, sir!
They were a fun band.
Wait: isn’t conducive to vegetarianism? They actually have meat free foods that don’t make you want to puke, especially their cheese enchilada.
Isn’t “Amy’s” I blame computer.
Dammit.
I see their stuff in the freezer aisle. Expensive af so yeah probably good.
Their canned soups are pretty darn good.
Dammit, Rhywun and KSeull are both right. Rhywun, you live in NYC, so everything’s expensive af for you. $3 a pop for those of us in the hinterlands. Ha ha ha!
Eh, fuck it.
Groceries may be more expensive than elsewhere but not dramatically so. When I say that something in the grocery store is expensive af I mean in relation to similar options nearby.
Yeah, but I had to be a dick
Yeah, screw the foooooodism, but the soups are good.
A Kos abortion piece? That fruit is hanging so low it’s in China.
Wait, I blame Rhywun.
“The purported purpose of the law, as articulated by its anti-choice backers, is to “protect” those people who choose to exercise their Constitutional right under Roe v. Wade to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.”
IANAL, but I’m pretty sure a court decision isn’t the same as a Constitutional right.
anti-choice backers
I mean if they want to play this game being anti-choice looks better than being anti-life.
I’m so sure the author is for actual Constitutional rights such as free speech and the right to bear arms.
It’s funny how Lefties deride and dismiss rights that are clearly enumerated in the Constitution (Second Amendment) but then invent Constitutional justifications for things that are not mentioned in there at all, like abortion.
Dredd Scott agrees that a court decision isn’t the same as a Constitutional right.
Missouri: brocolli cheese soup
I’ve been going to Super Bowl parties for over thirty years and I’ve yet to see this dish present at any of them.
I got “spinach dip”.
It may just be possible that “Google Trends” is full of shit.
I once got a free jar of Tostito’s spinach dip. It was like the Green Giant blew his nose.
Yeah, I’d say the most common SB snacks I’ve seen around my neck of the woods are Lil’ Smokies in a crockpot, Velveeta and Rotel dip, and pulled pork sliders.
…go on.
Wait, I blame Trigger Hippie.
You too? Huh.
Sounds like it would be better the next day as hangover food. Speaking of which, anybody got some? Ugh.
Hangover food? That’s known as a greasy cheeseburger, fries and booze.
But I’m sure a nice bowl of ramen will work just as well…
Ramen is for the end of the night when you’re still drunk. A burger sounds good about now, though.
We’ve got a ramen place here that is the shizzle. Bone broth, soft boiled eggs pork belly. Good stuff.
I’ve gotten pretty good at making some bomb-ass ramen at home… I usually use ham bone broth augmented with a touch of soy sauce, mirin, and dashi. The meat is typically whatever I have on hand, usually some kind of leftover roast pork. I always include thinly sliced peppers (which are not traditional but hey, I like everything spicy) and onions. I’ve had great results adding baby bok choy as well.
I can see that.
A hot bowl of menudo works miracles for a hangover, too
As in the band?
One dreadful post-drinking morning, I threw something together that I still refer to as “hangover soup”…
Chicken broth
Can of crushed tomatoes
Splash of tequila (which led to the situation in the first place)
Freshly squeezed lime juice
Habeneros
Mirepoix
Garlic
Leftover roast chicken, shredded up by hand
Salt and pepper
Oregano
Chili powder
Red pepper flakes
Handful of egg noodles
It whacked that hangover like nothing else.
I believe OMWC has suggested trying a Mexican dish called Menudo for such an occasion. But I could be *mistaken. That may also be more trouble than it’s worth given your location.
*hits bowl*
Um… isn’t menudo like entrails or tripe or something? That sounds like more ? to me.
I’m just passing along the advice of my elders. Personally, I go for a heap of hashbrowns and bacon chased with a shot of Tabasco sauce to clear my head.
Menudo can be made many different ways not only because there are different animals, but also because cows have more than one stomach.
I thought Menudo was a boy band.
The Hard to believe he wasn’t straight.
Uh, that would be Migas.

/On Behalf of OMWC
Yes, this seems like just the thing for a hangover.
Ohio: Buffalo Chicken Dip. Sorry, that’s just lazy (albeit tasty).
Two Buffalo dips go round the outside, round the outside, round the outside.
Wow. Nice work, Riven. I think I that hate just about everybody in every link.
Salads in Idaho?!? Uh, yeah. I’m apparently going to the wrong SB parties. And the salads I have seen are either tokens or salads of death with more fat and calories than anything you’ll get on the coasts.
Wait, I blame…ah, fuck it.
Are you waiting around for Winston or something?
Trying to be funny. Missed by a bunch.
No, no, no. You provided a lot of humor, as far as you know.
Spud, I already sent a fucking apology, don;t be an asshole.
“Hey Spud, quit being yourself.”
No pun intended.
Btw, I have absolutely no idea what you felt you needed to apologize for. I’m not seeing it.
Wait, I posted on this thread? What the hell? Where am I? What’s going on?
Salads of Death is my new metal band.
Salad Boys https://youtu.be/tdPNgr95Tgo
Nice tone.
Love it – sort of motorik
Yeah, motorik. And they injected a Buzzcocks like riff along the way. Buzzcocks can get a little motorik too.
Got to put a new playlist together.
Listening to a live studio performance in Seattle – good stuff. Much enjoy. Yeah Buzzcocks – and Wedding Present.
KEXP?
Yes
Utah: Bacon wrapped smokies
I mean there are a lot of good choices on that list… but this has got to be on the top…
Bacon wrapped smokies, with a Maalox back. Bring it!
Success!
Also, the salads I’ve had at superbowl parties are consistent with what you’ve mentioned: mostly fruit, pudding mix, coolwhip mixed affairs with cookies on top.
As for actual greenery, sometimes people bring veggie trays.
I will nibble at a veggie tray at the beginning of the party so that I feel better about myself when my plate is covered with wings, artichoke dip and Swedish meatballs.
Go, Spud, Go!
“shouldn’t we ask the wealthiest among us to contribute a little more?”
Taxes aren’t contributions. Don’t ever let someone get away with talking like that.
“Sure, ask Warren Buffet and George Soros for a contribution….leave the rest of us alone, you @#$%”

Even though this has been posted many times already, it’s good that we don’t let people forget this husband-of-the-year.
That one has staying power. I think we’re going on four days in a row.
I blame BakedPenguin
I blame Nikki. She’s the worst.

I think that look says “I’m your problem now suckers!”.
That guy is 58? Not really an exemplar of healthy living, eh?
I have never heard of such concoction before. From this single fact I conclude that the author of this article did 0.0 seconds of research.
My best guess: chile con queso
PS: going to be ignoring the Hyper-Bowl for the fifteenth consecutive year. Might go out shooting instead, if the weather holds up.
How is the answer not “pizza” for every state? You guys not eating turkey on Thanksgiving either?
^ ^
Yup
Your guess is as good as mine as to WTF that is supposed to mean. But I bet is had no relation to what people actually eat.
Searched for most uniquely? That’s giving me a headache, but then again I already had a headache.
Drink moar.
All this article proves is that Google Trends has a ways to go before it recognizes any actual trends.
Next you’ll tell me they are an unreliable guide to the next election.
^ Russian bot ^
‘Troll’ is our preferred pronoun.
It’s a self-fulfilling poll. everyone in New Mexico sees Peas and Peppercorn Hash and their all like WTF is that? So they Google it and so on it goes.
Chili, pizza, nachos, and chicken wings are the standard Super Bowl fare around the country,
What is this “Super Bowl”? I hear a lot of people talking about it. Unfortunately, it probably happens after the sun goes down East Coast time so that I can’t go to the gun club and shoot while everyone is doing whatever it is they do around the Super Bowl.
/looks over list
Massachusetts: Gluten-free pretzels
Sad.
Nevada: Vegan cheesy bacon spinach dip
One of these things is not like the other.
Chili is king for Super Bowl parties. We’re having friends over tomorrow and my wife is making an enormous pot of the spicy stuff.
I’m still surprised no one has linked this yet.
That is kind of cute.
Still not drinking it.
I’m not sure if many of you will appreciate this, but I’m really enjoying the Weezer Teal album.
https://open.spotify.com/album/65sHj9PvsbyD0uugGHjueN?si=BP9wB5I8TH2Z76QZOkswhw
I posted one of the songs several days ago, and I don’t think anybody appreciated it. (For the record, I didn’t appreciate it, either.)
Imho, their covers sound too much like the originals.
I like Weezer in general, I just didn’t see the need for the two songs I’ve heard so far. They sounded exactly like the originals.
Fair enough. I guess that I like a lot of 80s music, and I like a band that I like covering some of it.
Enh I’m just being cranky. Maybe I’ll check it out if it shows up on Bandcamp or something else I don’t have to sign up for.
Got a feeling this tweet’s days are numbered.
I don’t know. I bet it stays because it’s goodthink.
What did it say?
“Thank you n*ggers for your support.” Put over a picture of Ralph Northam. Tweeted by an African-American.
“Beyonce pledged to eat plant-based breakfasts and go meatless on Mondays, while Jay-Z is promising to eat two plant-based meals a day. ”
That’s hardly vegan.

I don’t think she has worn a dress that costs less than $1000 in years.
I’ve lived my entire life in Ohio and I don’t recall ever seeing Buffalo Chicken Dip anywhere in fact I’m not even sure what that is. Buffalo Chicken Wings & Dip are everywhere and seem more likely.
Fun fact- I made some keto ersatz “buffalo chicken dip” today. Chicken breast, 1/2 packet of ranch dressing, a bar of cream cheese, and wing sauce.
Sounds quite yummy:)

You are an Earthling, yes?
She (and her husband) are also delightful dinner companions.

How long have OMWC and SP been living in AZ? Long enough to blame them for outrageous instances of black face in AZ restaurants?
Bass has been around that long?
[sigh]
Uffda. Are you sighing at the story or me? Did you post earlier? I’VE BEEN REAL BUSY IN MEAT SPACE SO CUT ME SOME SLACK!!!!
I think multiple people posted earlier.
Sorry. Like I said, I’ve been so busy lately I’ve been unable to keep up with the wit and wisdom of Glibs.
Not even in the state and already spreading the hate.
I don’t understand this guy. It looks like a picture of miners to me. Is he saying this is actually a still from Birth of a Nation?
He knows that they’re miners. But the point is that it makes him think of blackface and is thus offensive.
I’m sure you are right. It’s so badly written I couldn’t tell.
Now that I know. Fuck him. His subjective impression doesn’t change objective reality.

She was married to her brother so…
I don’t want to hear people make fun of West Virginia anymore.
Amazing that we replaced a congressman who had been a member of the Nation of Islam with someone who is even more anti-semitic and stupid.
I wonder if the 5th CD in Minnesoda misses Brother Keith now?
Serious question. What do my fellow Jews in the area have to say about Omar?
Jews? In Minnesota? LOL.
Uffda. The 5th is home of St.

What’s their opinion of Omar your Holiness?
What is Kos assuming those Hand Maiden’s Gender?
FWIW, Mrs. Shpip and I are hosting a Super Bowl party this year (we alternate parties around this time every year with a Burns Night soiree). Menu is:
Home-pickled vegetables
Assorted olives
Pretzel bites with spicy cheese spread
Charcuterie
2 racks of ribs, a Boston butt, and a pound of sausage from Dreamland
Homemade potato salad
Shpip-smoked kingfish filet
Guests will bring other sides and/or desserts.
2 racks of ribs, a Boston butt, and a pound of sausage from Dreamland
I’ve never clicked on a link so fast.
I was introduced to Dreamland by a golf buddy back around 1996 (I played in college at a smallish school in Florida, him at the University of Alabama. You can imagine how our results were at state and USGA Mid-Am tournaments). I certainly have the time and ability to get top-quality pork and smoke it myself, but the nostalgia factor kicks in, as well as the convenience. And that sauce… ooooh, that sauce.
For the uninitiated: Dreamland is the shizzle.
Drooling just looking at the pictures. And pecan pie, too. WTF am I doing here eating squid chips?
Come Home, Straff…come home.
Weird story; per your comments, I checked out Dreamland’s webpage. Saw that they have a location in Duluth, GA. My step daughter and her hubby live close by so I texted them to recommend it to them. (they’re fairly new to the area). They texted me back a pick of their doggy bag they just left there with. Crazy coincidence!
And they also say it’s absolutely fantastic.
Woah!
Thank you.
Very nice lineup.

Are you calling that guy orLittle Nicky black? I’m confused how that’s racist.
Doesn’t sound any worse than anything in an average episode of Family Guy.
Not really the point though. It’s the double standard that’s the point.
Oh sure. And Family Guy gets away with it for the same reason as Maher.
Yeah, but less funny
A rather hilarious anecdote I heard today about Ed Sullivan – when his show first went on the air, he got a terrible review in a NY
Newspaper from a critic named Harriet Van Horne. He wrote her a note:
Dear Miss Van Horne,

WTF is uniquely searched for foods if the same thing repeats across multiple states? And how do these give insight into regional variation if MA, NJ, VA, WV, GA, PH, MI, & KS share the same food. Or WA, AZ, FL, WY, & TN.
Yeah,that poll is BS.
And ~10 states are getting ready to make cake for the Superbowl? Seriously…cake? The entire thing is laughable, and the “journalist” non-critically reporting on it is pathetic.
Bullshit. I don’t even know what the fuck that is. Beer is the correct answer, followed by cheese curds.
Also:
with their extra mild sauce?
Because Wisconsin is known for it’s spicy food? I mean, other than their Buffalo chicken dip, apparently.
Well, many people here aren’t into peppers, it’s a different story with Horseradish.
Put that on a beer brat with some saurkraut. Mmmm.
You can’t be a true foodie when you spend most of the fall drinking paint thinner and screaming “THE PACK IS BACK”
The extra mild sauce is only for the most adventurous of Minnesodans.
It should also be noted that the correct pronunciation is “tack-os”
Uh… we’re in Wisconsin, why would we need to search for Beer or Cheese Curds?
Just go to your neighborhood tavern.
‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ substitute irks Duluth teachers
American Psycho should replace Huck Finn, it’s got ‘American’ right in the title!
American Pyscho II – Mila Kunis is (((Russian))) so it also proves collusion – problematic!
Not “Go Set a Watchman”?
The Duluth school board should be tarred and feathered. Replacing To Kill A Mockingbird with a grievance monger’s book barely 10 years old. Untucking believable. Bezmenoz was right (again).
Right? They replaced a Pulitzer Prize winning American classic with a Minnesota Book Award winning story that quite possibly would have been forgotten about if not for these idiots. SMDH
Huck Finn was one of the few books I enjoyed reading in high school. We read to kill a mocking bird freshman year and I don’t remember much of it. Then we watched the damn movie with Gregory peckory and that pretty much made reading the book useless since now all I can remember is the movie.
Ok, haven’t been around much the last few days, but what the hell is going on with this Virginia Governor? The right got mad because he wanted to kill babies, and it was all ‘fake news’ from the left, then there was a picture were he dressed (in the 80s) as something people see as racist (now) and the left go after his head. Did a rightwinger find this picture? Or is that just how fast the outrage works these days? Either way, we live in a fucked up world.
“I’m really sorry for the hurt and pain I’ve caused by this picture. BTW, it’s not me anyways.”
I’m not happy this is where we are as a nation. However, it’s hard not to have some schadenfreude at this devouring one of their own. I guess we’re going to get to a place in which no one is allowed in politics except for preapproved, connected power elites who get a pass for anything; which is exactly as they like it.
He took his mask off and told everybody what he really thinks about abortion. And then Karma stepped forward, grabbed him by the throat and started punching him in the face.
That’s what happens when you accuse your opponent of being a racist all through the campaign, knowing there are pictures like that from your past, and then declaring that infanticide is totes okay. It appears that there is actually a limit.
But, who found the picture? Was it a righty trying to ‘own the libs’ or was it an SJW who was enthralled by his ideas on abortion and wanted to look more into their new hero only to have their world shattered by a picture? I’m not sure which one is more disgusting, but the fact that this is where politics now is disgusting.
It was first reported on by Big League Politics – thus, this was lib ownage.
That picture has been known about for some time. Dan Bongino learned about the photo in October but couldn’t verify it, so he let it lay. The proggies want the black Lt. Governor to be the Governor. They were laying in wait and Northam just gave them the ammunition with his abortion comments.
My guess is the Gillespie campaign know about it and “took the high road”.
My favorite part of the story:
I had been joking for days now that it’s hard to remember all the times you wore blackface in your life and called yourself Coonman. Well, apparently Northam actually has worn black face multiple times.
I mean, the most common sense thing to do from the start would have been to deny he was in the picture and force someone to prove otherwise. No one from his med school days seems to be talking. But this asshole admitted then, then took it back…all the while admitting he did, in fact, wear blackface at one point in his life.
Imagine what he’s not telling us.
I’ll bet his frat brothers have some incredible stories.
How about some justice for all of us

That’s good. I haven’t heard them before.
I’ve seriously soured on Metallica since the Napster thing (when I got a letter threatening to sue me for having a bootleg where they fucked up the intro to King Nothing and had to start over.)
Saw Metallica at Deer Creek on the “And Justice For All” tour. The Cult was the opening act. My friends and I got really high smoking weed. We moshed the entire concert.
Napster. Fuck Metallica.
Fuck Metallica for following up “And Justice” with the Black album. That album ended my rabid Metallica fandom.
If you think the black album is bad (I don’t) you should give St. Anger a listen.
It made me angry so… mission accomplished?
Agreed. Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets, though.
I guess my view on that is that if I only listened to bands that didn’t act like dicks, I’d miss a lot of good music.
It’s one thing to act like dicks, it’s another to be 15 and get a letter saying millionaires might sue you for more money than you’ve ever see for doing something they said was ok. (their original position was bootlegs were OK, but then I still got that letter.)
Would you say they pushed you to the frayed ends of sanity?
No, they just kind of irked me. I found the whole thing funny, wish I still had the letter, I’d frame it.

Question for the gun nutz. .308 or 300 Blackout? It will be used for home defense maybe some hog hunting at a future date.
Phased plasma rifle in the 40 Watt range.
Hey, just what you see pal.
Unless you neighbors are a long ways away, both are too much for home defense.
Looks like a had a little too much to drink. Obviously not a home defense weapon. Was talking while typing. Side note my brother in law just got a nice Benelli. Probably why I slipped in home defense. Anyways meant to say Deer hunt. I am planning to go my first hunt next season and am looking at picking up a rifle.
I don’t know much about 300 Blackout, which would make me lean towards the .308. A very versatile round that will kill plenty of deer.
Depends on the type of home defense. Burglars, not so much. Cuban troops backed up by Soviet advisors? Hell yeah!
+1 Red Dawn
300 Blackout is good specifically if you intend to get s sound suppressor since it was designed for that purpose. And sound suppressors are very useful for indoor applications.
Otherwise, 308 is more common and more powerful.
