SP and I greatly love watching classic movies, which is why we have trouble taking crap like Jaws or Rocky seriously. Though we did imagine a mashup where the grunting midget gets eaten by the big rubber fish. I remember as a kid that when I’d go to movie theaters in black neighborhoods, it was perfectly OK, if not expected, that the audience would vocally interact with the characters on the screen to an extent that I didn’t see in (say) our Jewish neighborhood. I have fond memories of the horror triple features on Saturday afternoons at the Biddle Theater. “LOOK OUT, HONEY, HE HIDING BEHIND THE DOOR!”
It is fun, I admit, to have an outspokenly libertarian wife who, with a few drinks in her, will do as much yelling at the screen as did my fellow Baltimoreans, though with a slightly different viewpoint. Last night, we watched the old and wonderful epic Robin Hood, packed to the gills with my favorite actors- though unfortunately lacking Spring Byington. SP did not disappoint. “FUCK OFF, SLAVER!” “WHY DO YOU EVEN FUCKING NEED A KING?” “SHUT YOUR PIE-HOLE AND KILL THE GUY ALREADY!” “WHY ARE YOU GUYS ALL FEASTING WHEN THERE’S STARVING PEOPLE IN THE COPSE NEXT TO YOU? IS THAT YOUR REVOLUTIONARY PROGRESSIVISM???”
She is indeed a demure delight.
Anyway, enough with the shit that amused me, let’s see what today’s news brings us.
When you’re dealing with crazy, it helps to act even crazier. This seems to have actually had an effect.
Apparently, rubbernecking at a corpse is a popular past-time.
Surprise, surprise, Hamas still likes doin’ the thing it does so very well. This time, the “He’s just a yoot, he din do nuffin!” gambit and their own unique take on 4/20. But in exchange for having a bunch of their dumber people killed, they did have a major accomplishment- driving away Natalie Portman. Totally worth it, guys, keep up the good work!
Illinois may consider importing its next governor, just to keep alive our fine traditions. And on the same theme, Washington, DC may have found its next city councilman. Read the comments, they are a delight.
How’s that gun control working out for you, California?
If Twin Cities drivers are as frighteningly bad as the ones here in Chicagoland, I have total sympathy here.
And inevitably, Old Guy Music. And holy shit, what a lineup! If you want to know why Charlie Parker is a god, here’s the evidence.
Morning all
Well, not quite all. Straffinrun is in the evening and PieInTheSKy is in afternoon.
Regardless of location, it’s always time for Glibs, Beers, and _____________
Ya it’s definitely after 5am in Singapore, have at it
Damn right.
Thinking of enjoying some homebrewed imperial stout with some dark chocolate for an early afternoon snack.
It’s morning for me, too. Been in bed half the day.
Or how ever your circadian rhythm self identifies.
That’s their problem now is it?
*narrows gaze*
Chicago is the same way… “Hey. HEY! LOOK OUT! .. AW, DAMN!”
Indeed. He left out the garbage that is E.T.
We haven’t put that dreadful piece of shit on our watch list. And we won’t.
You no likee Drew Barrymore?
While I accept that you irrationally hate JAWS and ROCKY, does that mean no films made after 1970 hold as much respect for you as the classic films?
I do love the classics, and the blu-ray of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD was a revelation. I had never seen the film properly before. And that marvelous Korngold score! The colors are so vivid, I can now understand what my best friend’s dad was saying when he complained we had to idea how great the old Technicolor films looked like when we watched them on laserdisc in the 1980s.
I just talk, chew loudly and laugh at all the inappropriate parts.
Yet another reason to avoid theaters.
Popcorn too spicy?
Too much butter, too much corn.
Where’s all the hate for OMWC and SP (uffda you two need to buy a few more vowels if you want to be a real celebrity couple)?
I mentioned a while back that I missed all the talking and yelling in the movies when I lived in Memphis and I got torched.
Wait. I think I like the hate more. Keep it up you cretinous humanoids.
I mean, it would require actually reading the article to get angry. Even when it’s quoted I tend to just skip over those comments.
Yep. I grew up in the Chicago area, and can attest.
My .on introduced me to old movies when I was a kid, and managed to make me work through them in nearly chronological order, so I could appreciate the leaps in filmmaking. Although, on the commentary track, every time I see one of my friends, I shout “Lepers”, because he had a hilarious commentary on the lepers in Ben Hur.

Don’t lots of politicians do the thing with donor lists Greitens is accused of doing?
Nathaniel was fired from driving Burnsville children four years ago for the same reason.
That’s going on his permanent record. I’m beginning to think they really didn’t have those.
When you’re dealing with crazy, it helps to act even crazier. This seems to have actually had an effect.
And people made fun of Pres. Trumpnfor saying his button is bigger.
On another note, it appears that Clark Kent’s buddy is involved in a child sex cult thing.
She’s the Mack Daddy of sex cults
Heh. Nice.
I loved “Smallville: when it was on. While most guys lusted after Kristin Kreuk, I always thought Allison Mack was hotter. She had a better body, and seemed like she’d be a lot more fun.
Granted, when Erica Durance joined the cast, I lost interest in Mack. Laura Vandervoort was easy on the eyes as well.
Is there some reason everyone seems to be taking the little dictators word this time? As far as I can tell most sources are from NK,
That’s local TV news here, and there’s something moral-panicky about the reporting that makes me uncomfortable.
Teri Hatcher is involved in a child sex cult thing? Where the fuck was this shit back when I first saw “The Outrageous Okona”? Oh, why the fuck did you have to move us to New York instead of Los Angeles when we came to this country, Ma? I will never forgive you.
Alison Mack from Smallville. Which was shot in British Columbia.
I watched Bird on a Wire recently; much of that was shot in British Columbia, too. There’s a humorous line about them taking a ferry from Detroit to Racine, WI. And then Racine has a bustling Chinatown.
There is an The X-Files episode that takes place in Tallahassee, FL, an area full of pine trees, palmetto scrub, and live oak and a water table that is about 36” below the surface yet the intrepid agents are chasing a monster that lives in an elaborate cave system amongst the fir tree roots.
There was an X-Files that took place in Wisconsin where you could see mountains in the background. Step-By-Step, which took place in Wisconsin, had an episode where they went camping in the nearby mountains. There was another show that was supposed to take place in Wisconsin where not only could you see mountains, but palm trees. Behold the enormous mountain range of Wisconsin!
Rib Mountain means I’m about half way to Algoma to go salmon fishing. Don’t be mocking it.
Besides, Timm’s Hill is the actual highest spot in WI.
I’ve never been to Tim’s hill; but Wausau is in my neck of the woods. Don’t be judging me with your Minnysoda privilege!
When my family would drive through Wassau, the two boys would spend 40 minutes Karate chopping each other in the back seat and shouting “WASSAU!”
It’s OK for them to do that because they are half Korean.
And don’t feel bad. Minnesoda doesn’t have any real mountains to look down on Rib Mountain from. We’re pretty flat too.
And then of course the X files movie where Dallas was in the middle of a desert with mountains in the background…oh and the rural area was apparently only a couple of miles downtown.
Years back, on an episode of Remington Steele, the story was set in Iowa…with a scene of the lovely Sierra Nevada. I’ve always wanted to go climbing in the mountains of Ioway, just haven’t had the chance…
I hate that movie. They’re on the run on a motorcycle and she buys a skirt and heels? Just stupid.
I liked the undemanding entertainment value.
All those places are in Flyover Country, kids. Hollywood can’t be blamed for missing small details.
I remember during flooding along the Red River, some news show was in Grand Forks (covering the damage) and talked about Fargo bracing for the coming flood waters. Derp.
Jackie Chan’s Rumble in the Bronx featured some lovely views of the mountains of Vancouver.
Kristen Kreuk was involved for a time. And one of the actresses in the second iteration of BSG (the mechanic) is involved. If you listen to the video with Ms. Mack after the “cult” (for the record if what the newspapers say is accurate it is a cult) leader is arrested you can hear the BSG actress as well.
Oh, that cult? I remember hearing about that when the news came out that Callie was involved. Weird stuff.
One of our fellow Glibs was rescued by police! Apparently, Animal locked himself in a car he broke into. The story didn’t say, but I assume he was arrested for his crime.
That bear must have been on barbiturates. I’ve seem them peel windshields off with very little difficulty.
Wasn’t exactly a large one.
‘Bear locked himself in car’
Someone is being baited.
They didn’t just shoot him like they do dogs? I assume that bear made a furtive movement towards his waistband or something.
Police rarely shoot things that are actually dangerous.
Hey. They had a pickanick basket.
You have to make sure to keep them outside your car dude!
18 spectacularly wrong predictions made around the time of first Earth Day in 1970, expect more this year
My favorite:
April 1970 issue of Mademoiselle
It’s nice to know that the current SJW trend in women’s magazines isn’t new, I think.
It wasn’t common back in the 80’s.
Article like that from the 70’s was more likely hippy woo woo, than politics.
Of course the reaction of greenies was “your welcome”. If we didn’t make these dire predictions they would have come true.
Just randomly grab anything written by Ehrlich and you’ll have no problem finding spectacularly wrong predictions.
Speaking of Earth Day, how’s Holly Maddux doing?
“Just randomly grab anything written by Ehrlich and you’ll have no problem finding spectacularly wrong predictions.”
The one time he actually put his money where his mouth was, he ended up having to write a check. He won’t ever make that mistake again.
My favorite Earth Day song.
Particularly because Easdale got the date wrong.
Not this steaming pile of shit?
Christ. That’s awful. Steaming pile of shit is way too kind.
I never thought it was that bad.
Only in Trump’s America. Sad!
City officials have arranged road closures and beefed up security from a number of local, state and federal agencies for the First Amendment demonstration.
Is it a white nationalist rally or a white nationalist free speech rally? I may be down for one of those.
You know damn well you are not going to no rally, now or any other time until the day you die. Whenever you hear the word “protest” or “counter-protest,” the only thought you have is traffic. We know you because we are you. You ain’t fooling anyone here.
You’re right, but I would go to a 10A march if it wasn’t too far away.
A white supremacist holds a shield with National Socialist Movement symbols
They just hate the wrong people.
I wonder how these guys feel about their brown brothers in Palestine employing the same symbols and faulty thinking.
“Hey, where did they get that awesome kite!”
“That’s no kite, it’s a False Flag”
Government vs. God? People are less religious when government is bigger, research says
Conversely, this demonstrates that the belief in big government isn’t much different than the belief in a far away deity who will answer your prayers. Progs are like that class of religious person who thinks god actually talks directly to them and fixes all of their problems. The arrogant and small minded superstitious sort. The worst of the religious.
At least I give to the church voluntarily and I don’t compel you to do so.
That’s one of many major differences.
Glibs! Do any of you suppose that you must surely have already read among the most moronic, obnoxious “gentrification” articles one could ever fathom?
So did I, until today.
Are you sitting down? Sit down. Take a deep breath. For what you have seen so far is not a fraction of what you are about to see. I don’t care what you have seen, you have seen nothing like this. Once again, remember to breathe. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Behold.
“Sneaker culture has been colonized and the valuable resource which was authentic style and presentation has been extracted like diamonds from a mine in Rwanda.”
That’s as far as I was willing to go.
Oh please power through. It is so worth it! It’s like a work of art.
….just seeing that short excerpt made me shy away.
I think that killed a significant number of my brain cells.
You owe me Diego.
Hell no. You owe me brain-cell reparations. Y’all are brain-cell privileged; I’ve read my Charles Murray.
No, because I don’t read articles about gentrification.
You people are no fun! Stop boycotting my fucking derp.
We boycott everybody’s links here.
Ok, I read the whole thing and realized I don’t give a flying fuck about sneaker culture other than the satisfaction that these twits are my kids’ competition.
Well, he’s right about that. Not in the way he thinks, of course.
Is that like The Onion? I can’t tell anymore.
Did Kmele write that? The one thing about him that bugs me is that he is always going on about some sort of sneakers.
That is the tell. This kid lives out in the burbs with his successful parents and he feels guilty about his victim privilege. In his heart he knows he is as white as every one of his friends around him, so he adopts one of the stupidest ideas from his cousins back in the city to try to earn that victim cred.
There are some kernels of, well, not “truth” exactly, in there. Like Manhattan really IS a bore now. But the solution isn’t to bitch about it, it’s to move somewhere else and make it more interesting, for whatever value of interesting you care about.
Meanwhile, Ventura police said they were stepping up patrols around the Ventura Promenade where the stabbing took place. City leaders also decried the incident and vowed the take measures to ensure a similar incident does not occur.
“We are extremely disheartened and infuriated by this criminal attack,” Mayor Neal Andrews said in a statement. “We will not tolerate this in our community. Nothing is more important than the safety of our visitors, residents and businesses.”
Huh.
Another magic spell is what you need.
+5 field of violence repulsion?
Portman better watch it SJW causes tend to put on years on a punum.
Did she even do her service? Not that I morally approve of conscription, but I think that pretty much annuls her Jew pass. It would be poetic justice if she got so woke she woke up looking like Lena Dunham.
I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt, because I’m assuming the “recent concerning events” she is boycotting is the decision to share her prize with Mike Bloomberg. I don’t care if it was the real, non-Jew Nobel. (Fuck, I don’t care even if it’s the ESPYs.) If you tell me to share a prize with that scum I will throw that shit back in your face.
Also, I don’t think Michael Douglas is a Jew. So they should just cancel the whole fucking thing already.
Michael Douglasberg. Problem solved.
Kirk is a Jew; I don’t know about his first wife.
Not a Jew!
If Twin Cities drivers are as frighteningly bad as the ones here in Chicagoland, I have total sympathy here.
Oh, they are. You’ll never see a better example of the Minne passive aggressive nature than a highway merge. Breathtaking, really, and prayer might be the only solution.
Still no charges or explanation for that horrible bus crash in Saskatchewan.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/rcmp-humboldt-broncos-crash-update-press-conference-1.4625017
This part here really gets my goat –
Sukhmander Singh, who owns the company, told CBC News he had given the driver two weeks of training. He said the man had been driving on his own for the company for two weeks before the crash happened.
I understand that we still don’t know what caused the crash. This guy in Calgary is very foolish and showing some serious disregard for risk management, and the motoring public, by turning a person with only 4 weeks of experience loose on the highway with a set of Super Bs. That particular combination can weigh up to 140,000 pounds, and they don’t handle like normal one trailer rigs. I know the market for decent drivers is tight and getting tighter, but if you feel compelled to use someone with this deficit in experience, maybe you need to rethink your business model.
Over the years driving in the States or in the provinces on vacation, I’ve seen my share of reckless truck driving. I mean, weaving in and out of lanes at high speeds and tailgating reckless.
No question. The Knights of The Road mentality of the 70’s and 80’s has been subverted by a cavalier disregard for the job perpetuated by trucking companies themselves. There’s a lot of arseholes behind the wheel, and no one despises their presence on the road more than me. But we all know who is partly to blame for this state of affairs.
Tell me. Educate us!
He should write an article on the subject. 😉
I blame deregulation.
/prog
That’s really fucked up and kind of scary. I realize they didn’t charge the driver, but if the bus had hit the truck, wouldn’t the wreckage have been much different?
I don’t know. It’s hard to speculate, because things spin around and bounce and I wasn’t there, and to be perfectly honest, I don’t have the literal intestinal fortitude to look at the photos. Can’t do it.
Gordy, a trucker etiquette question for you. On my morning commute, I often encounter this situation: I’m on a four lane freeway, in lane 2 (counting from the left lane to the right lane). I have to exit in a mile or two, but lanes 3 and 4 are filled with a wall of your brethren, nose to tail as close as a train of circus elephants. Signalling a lane change does not open a gap, so I’m forced to cut off at least two trucks in order to get to the exit. Is there a secret signal that will part the Red Sea for me or do I have to continue to risk my life and theirs?
OMWC –
Unless you have a CB, no, there is no secret signal. Use your signals, for sure, but the only thing I can tell you is that when operating in heavy traffic areas (and I think you’re in the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor, yes?) plan your exits well in advance. You may have to get in the slow lane with the elephants for several miles before your exit. That’s what I do.
2 miles strikes me as “well in advance.” I may have to resort to setting up a James Bond gadget on the back of my car that will… uhhhh…. never mind. When you read about it, IT WASN’T ME.
I have considered installing a caltrop ejector on the rear of my vehicle for use in emergency situations.
Yeah, why are we designing self-driving cars instead of flying cars?

At another point, Jarrar talks about guns, and criticizes “the left” for being too “gentle” in dealing with “the other side.”
“I don’t give a f—. I’m buying guns. I’m an American, I’m buying guns,” Jarrar says. “You know what, the other side is doing some stupid s—t. I’m going to do some stupid s—t. I’m tired of, like, being the bigger person — literally am, usually — but, like, I’m also just tired of the left being, like, f—ing stupid and being like, ‘No we have to, like, be gentle’ … no, don’t be f—ing gentle.'”

That lion gets ever more difficult to tow.
Eeeeck. She’s hideous.
I foresee a bad end to this story. That person is not sane and is working herself into a lather.
It’ll end with her getting fired when she goes unambiguously over the line.
She’ll never be fired.
Unless she accidently says something intelligent. That could get her fired.

That’s why she doesn’t give a shit about anything she says. She doesn’t have to.
Okay, Diego- I got this far, anyway…
Sure, some of these gentrified neighborhoods may be “cleaner” or “safer,” but the soul is gone.
Gimme back my shithole, mothafukka!
Damn it! This is an article complaining that the practice of collecting expensive shoes is being “gentrified” by “rich white suburban kids” to the detriment of the poor desperate impoverished youth who originated the practice. (Also they are using the money they have and some cleverness to take the initiative to buy up the shoes and flip them; and if there’s anything the ‘hood famously has disdain for, it’s such a hustle.) This isn’t some everyday, Whole-Foods-means-niggers-get-out pedestrian shit; this is gold!
Also, it may shock everyone to know that “wealthy white suburban kids” were plenty into sneaker culture from square one in the ’80s. And it may shock everyone to know the total price of any sneakers I had in wearable condition at any one point in my childhood never exceeded $30 new. Somehow, I got by. Even more remarkably, I was not alone!
The sneaker hierarchy started early, by the time I was in the fifth grade.
I too was of modest means, had shitty no name shoes, and suffered the taunting of the kids whose parents had more money.
Same here. I don’t remember any taunting though – maybe because the poor-ish kids outnumbered the rich kids by at least ten to one.
Fuck, I suffered the taunting of the kids whose parents had less money.
Let me clarify, I’m not pleading poverty here; I’m pleading thrift. My mother was (is) actually awesome and I’m proud of her. Sometimes I’d hear people on the street complaining, “They shut off everything this month. First gas, then cable, then lights.” And I’d be, “Hold up; cable?” We had rabbit ears on a truly ancient set that the former resident left behind and worked just fine, so it stayed. (And needless to say she did not have an ounce of pity for any taunting I received about my clothes! They were perfectly fine, and if I weren’t to have seen that it would’ve been my problem.)
Just one of the advantages I had growing up, to be raised by someone who had her shit so together. This is why I don’t buy this “white privilege” shit, because I’m not delusional about the fact that I had a very privileged upbringing, if you knew my mother. I really have a lot of respect for the huge number of people who have managed to overcome home environments that my Beaver Cleaver ass can’t even begin to relate to.
Nothing says “poor impoverished youth” like running around collecting expensive shoes.
Imelda Marcos was around long before this writer.
I am at a local street food fest here and had colombian arepas. Not bad. I though just another sandwich but that arepa is not like bread. Also pork and avocado work ok together
Avocado works with everything.
Arepas are great (assuming made right). Their first cousins are called pupusas and should also not be missed.
There are some Arepa joints in NYC and Toronto who very proudly proclaim being Venezuelan.
I wonder if anyone sees the irony.
In Manhattan every block gets a “festival” at some point in the summer, which they are supposed to be excited about or something–as though every neighborhood had something that reflected its culture or some shit. But every one is the same fucking shit. Lemonade. Pad Thai. Souvlaki. Corn on the cob. Arepas. Knockoff sunglasses. Tie Dye hangings. Photos of old school NYC. Every fucking time the exact same thing! Frankly I suspect it’s some kind of experiment NYCDOT is doing to test out where they can choke off traffic next.
I have never had a pupusa but there is no fucking way I am not eating something with that cool of a name.
For my first few years here (we were in Crown Heights ’05 – ’11), wifey dragged to every damn one of those. I hate them so much. They suffer the same problem as the modern flea market – what was once a hit or miss collection of folk selling their old junk is now just table after table of Chinese tack. Harrumph! We’ll still make it out for Atlantic Antic and the West-Indian Day Parade but that’s about it.
I think it’s just a traveling circus of bouncy houses and sausage & T-shirt stands that moves from one block to the next all summer. I don’t go either. There are better events like “Taste of…” where the local restaurants set up stands.
Arepazos in Columbus does a great job with them but they really kill the empanadas which are wonderful.
“pork and avocado work together”
“Avocado works with everything”
Christ, what is wrong with you people?
They’re the slimy food of the gods, Suthen.
You don’t even like guacamole do you?
Guacamole has its place. I don’t like any other use of those things, like all these sandwich places pushing chunks of it for a premium. *barf*
Anecdote –
Sitting in line at local barbershop. TV has local Central New York news, and apparently there is talk of a new hospital being built in Utica.
The piece discusses the use of eminent domain for acquiring the property necessary for the hospital, and then miracle of miracles, they interview gubernatorial candidate Larry Sharpe, running as a Libertarian against Cuomo. Sharpe was unequivocal about his opposition to using eminent domain, though he said that he absolutely supports the opening of any medical facility.
So nice to hear someone with principles on TV.
Also, Sharpe has challenged Cuomo to a debate, and to hold said debate here in Ithaca at Cornell.
I’d go to that.
http://www.ithaca.com/news/libertarian-candidate-for-governor-challenges-cuomo-to-debate-at-cornell/article_9686ddd8-3f4e-11e8-b0b4-a3acd7e6e07c.html
“Ithaca? Where the fuck is that?”
/Cuomo
I’m doubtful Cuomo would deign to appear at an event with 3 other candidates representing anyone but D or R.
SP was talking about Sharpe yesterday. She was impressed. She is someone not easily impressed.
He’s certainly more on his toes than Gay Jay.
Certificate of Need laws are wicked.
They sure are, and it’s a bummer that this process even had to take place.
http://www.uticaod.com/news/20180413/mvhs-receives-certificate-of-need-for-downtown-hospital
I’d argue it’s the single most evil domestic policy, in terms of “what’s the upside?”
Like, we all know the Drug War is awful, but drugs really do fuck a lot of people up, and you have to explain to people why the Drug War makes that worse, not better.
The only time I’ve ever had someone defend CON laws to me was a prog who, quite simply, had a slave mentality. “It doesn’t make sense to me, but the government knows what it’s doing, and I trust that there’s a reason for it.” Every single other person I’ve ever engaged on it is very quick to go “Wait, the government keeps new hospitals from opening up? Why would they do that? It doesn’t make any sense.”
It’s a joke. Bots are another hurdle you have to clear when buying limited sneaker online. Copping sneakers shouldn’t feel like a GTA mission. And while you’re losing raffles and putting shit in your cart only to receive an “sold out” email instead of confirmation, there’s some snot-nosed kid with a bot in the suburbs copping 10 pair with his parent’s money so he could flip them.
“Back in the good old days, you’d wait in line for those shoes, get ’em all shined up, be wearin’ ’em, all proud and shit, and next you know some nigger got a gun to your head and you be riding the subway home barefoot. That’s authentic, Cracker. Sheee-it.”

There is a reason most newspapers got rid of their comments section.
“Holohoax”… wow.
Yeah. WTF is wrong with people?
A crabby old Swede told me the answer:
“Just remember – people are shit.”
There is a reason most newspapers got rid of their comments section.
Yes, but they also got rid of them because there were enough people fighting back against MSM narrative peddling, as well as pwning said newspapers when they published incorrect garbage and outright falsehoods.
Okay, two reasons.
My butt hurts and I want you to know
Last week, I woke one morning and typed some of my personal thoughts about a joke from the new reboot of “Roseanne” into nine tweets and pressed send.
In the episode, which aired April 3, Roseanne and Dan awaken after passing out on their couch to discover they’ve missed all the TV shows “about Black and Asian families” (a thinly veiled reference to their fellow ABC sitcoms “black-ish” and “Fresh Off the Boat”), to which Roseanne quips: “They’re just like us. There, now you’re all caught up.”
Up until that point, Twitter had been a junk folder for my b-side thoughts and a place I might go to research who bit Beyoncé’s face. That morning, though, I decided to use it differently. I guess I was looking for a place to unpack my tangled discomfort with the subtle yet loaded implications of the joke I had heard the night before.
“It’s an endorsement of dismissiveness and disregard,” I wrote. “It’s a familiarity and comfort with the culture of objectifying and demeaning people of color.”
Roseanne is like having Trump come right into your living room and fart in your face. And not sweet smelling farts like Hillary’s. Nasty wet farts that make your whole house smell like a sewage treatment plant.
Outrage is a limitless resource. If we could somehow harness it for electricity generation, we’d be set.
One comment was simply three short words: “Slant eye ____.” For some reason, when that one appeared, I stared at it for a good 60 seconds (probably because my eyes are so slanted) trying to wrap my head around what had just happened.
Don’t stare at the trolls.
Seems like the titles Fresh off the Boat and Black-ish would be more insulting than the comment “they’re just like us”, but then again I’m not a progtard with a race baiting agenda.
Jesus Christ who can read through all that tedium. It must be terrible having your brain broken by years of college gobbledygook.
I haven’t seen the reboot yet, but have been watching the old Roseanne on Amazon. I think it holds up well. I find the outrage at her funny as she really did break ground in terms of gay characters etc. But, now, she’s the enemy.
I am a huge fan of the old show. The reboot is pretty good. Her “mom” showed up in one episode and I almost fell out of my chair – she’s 90 years old! Be interesting to see the ratings… I’m sure I’m not alone in watching that show to the exclusion of all those other shows around it I’ve never seen or in some cases never heard of.
“They are just like us”
How is that demeaning or objectifying?
Useful idiot programmed to see only one thing. They sky is blue = racist. I have to cut the grass today = racist. Being principled is better than not = racist. 2+2=4 is racist.
What the fuck are we going to do with all of these useless lumps of flesh?
Saying they are just like us is dismissive. They are better than us.
Get Dayworld up and running?
LOVED that series as a kid.

It’s not, but it’s clearly dismissive. I’ve never seen FOB or Black-ish—maybe they’re terrible and call for a ribbing. Maybe the dismissiveness is warranted based on their quality. But the joke out of context sounds like a superficial put-down—’you don’t need to bother with the shows, because they’re just like white family-sitcoms with the races changed.’
I don’t care enough to see the joke in context, and I don’t trust a NYT op-ed writer to be completely honest about context; but if it’s just as the writer says (big if), I get the grief.
“Yelling at the screen”
My wife does that watching ID. “Why are you talking to cops without a lawyer?”. ” Don’t give them your DNA”. “What an idiot”.
I hear almost the same things any time she’s watching a procedural.
Sounds like you both married very well.
So the DOJ is sniffing around the Comey memos over whether they contained classified information. We’re back to the canard that the information wasn’t considered classified at the time that we saw during the Hillary investigation, but that changed after he left office. As a sitting member of the FBI to begin with, one might question the appropriateness of leaking internal conversations with the President to the media. Especially when there’s nothing criminal in any of the investigations.
But just imagine also for a moment this being said about anyone with a D next to their name:
James Comey doesn’t get to decide this. The American people – the ones these fucks claim to represent – do in some way. They voted for Trump. The blatant arrogance here, conspiring to get a special counsel appointed even though you admit you had no evidence to justify it…
With regards to classification, we are talking about memos being produced by Comey about conversations with POTUS. That’s a massive fucking gray area. And when I say gray, I mean like soot colored. It’s a canard to say the information wasn’t classified at the time.
“A person who sees moral equivalence in Charlottesville”
That’s complete nonsense.
The most confusing political cartoon I’ve seen in a while:
Trump is dressed as a knight and standing at the parapet of a castle. A dragon labeled “white supremacy” is flying around it. Trump’s speech bubble says “on many sides”. Inside the castle, there is a heap of sacks labeled “dragon chow”.
What the hell does that mean?!
I’d post the cartoon, but I don’t have the link handy.
Lies constantly. Trump does lie and so does Clinton, and Bush and Schumer and……and…..
Sounds like a politician. Comey is a terrible writer.
Not only that, the memos were written about government business on a government computer on government time. That means it the government owned it. And Comey needed government permission to take it with him.
Since a lot of the released memo was redacted, you gotta wonder in the stuff he leaked to his professor buddy contained some of that now redacted info.
I don’t wonder at all. Of course it did.
It’s not a crime when the people opposing the president do
esit.“James Comey doesn’t get to decide this”
He did his best to decide it, through corruption and deceit, but it wasn’t quite enough. His best efforts couldn’t drag the Drunken Old Bat over the finish line.
A person who sees moral equivalence in Charlottesville
Well, I don’t. On the one hand, I see a bunch of people who went through channels, got a permit, gave every indication of wanting to hold a peaceful protest/demonstration, etc.
On the other, I see a bunch of people who didn’t go through channels, didn’t get a permit, gave every indication of wanting to commit violent assault and throw a riot, and actually did so.
On the gripping hand, I see a police department that did everything it could to ensure that the second group got exactly what it wanted.
Nope, not moral equivalence at all.
Oh, and didn’t it turn out that the guy in the car panicked because somebody pulled a gun on him? The trial will be interesting.
today I learned
confiscate
con = together (Latin)
fiscum = treasury, chest (Latin)
So the word originally meant to take something and put it in a treasure chest.
fiscum is also the root of the word fiscal
So the word originally meant to take something and put it in a treasure chest.
So, to loot. The word originated when the only way to get wealthy was to confiscate the fruit of other’s labor.
“A person who sees moral equivalence in Charlottesville, who talks about and treats women like they’re pieces of meat, who lies constantly about matters big and small and insists the American people believe it, that person’s not fit to be president of the United States, on moral grounds,” Mr. Comey told ABC News this month.
If that’s what you believe, then vote for the other
candidatescumbag. If you wish, you may urge others to do the same. That is the extent of your legitimate say as to who is “fit” to be President, you slimy creep.Politics aside, how the hell did this dolt become an English teacher?
I’m not saying it was affirmative action, but…
Monstrous slander
Abroad, Macron is often viewed as a French Obama, a fresh face who uses his youthful energy to captivate audiences and urge action on climate change and other progressive policies. At home, he is widely seen as a sort of liberal strongman who has sought to curtail checks on his power — and may have some of the same governing tendencies as President Trump.
Wow. Macron must have really pissed somebody at WaPo off, to deserve that sort of scurrilous slur.
Yeah; who wants to be compared to Obama?
So…abroad he’s seen as how Obama was seen by his fans, but in France he’s seen as Obama actually was. Fucking Wapo….so close to awareness…
Bad news everybody! You are all just a figment of my dementia.

“Stalker Breaks Into Taylor Swift’s Home, Takes Nap
Police say officers investigating a reported break-in Friday found 22-year-old Roger Alvarado asleep in the pop star’s home in the Tribeca neighborhood.
Alvarado, of Homestead, Fla., was arrested on charges of stalking, burglary, criminal mischief and trespassing.
It’s not clear whether he has an attorney who can speak for him.
Alvarado was arrested at the same address on Feb. 13 on charges of breaking the front door with a shovel.
Swift was not home during Friday’s break-in.
The multiplatinum-selling recording artist has dealt with stalkers on both coasts.
Police said a Colorado man arrested April 14 outside a Beverly Hills home owned by Swift had a knife, a rope and ammunition.”

Why is the LA stalker “Colorado man” but the NY one not “Florida man”? Talk about burying the lede.
FloridaMan doesn’t need any more encouragement
had a knife, a rope and ammunition
Oh no! He might hurt someone by throwing ammunition at them!
I wonder if Swift is one of those celebs that thinks the rest of us should be disarmed while she is obviously in need of a fine protection piece and armed security guards?
Why yes, yes she is.
“Police said a Colorado man arrested April 14 outside a Beverly Hills home owned by Swift had a knife, a rope and ammunition.”
Did he expect the ammo to work with the knife or the rope?
Well, I do respect a man of principle.

“How Martin Luther Paved the Way for Donald Trump
To understand why evangelicals support the president, look to the first Protestant.
The support of white evangelicals for Donald Trump continues to exasperate and perplex. About 80 percent of them voted for him in 2016—the most recorded for a Republican candidate since 2000—and his approval rating among them remains high. In June, some 1,000 evangelical pastors plan to meet the president, both to “celebrate” his accomplishments (as one leading pastor put it) and to rally Christians for the midterm elections. Neither Trump’s relations with Stormy Daniels, nor his endorsement of alleged sexual abuser Roy Moore, nor his reference to “shithole” countries, nor his toxic tweets, recurrent racism, or general crudity, have proved a deterrent to most conservative Christians—to the dismay of many commentators.
From the earliest days of the faith, this militant strand has coexisted with the more pacific one. And it was the former that stirred the founder of Protestantism, Martin Luther. In his fierce ideas, vehement language, and combative intellectual style, Luther prefigured modern-day evangelicalism, and a look back at his life can help explain why so many evangelicals support Trump today.
In defending the cause of Christ, Luther was uncompromising. No one, he wrote, should think that the Gospel “can be advanced without tumult, offense and sedition.” The “Word of God is a sword, it is war and ruin and offense and perdition and poison.” In Luther’s famous dispute with Erasmus of Rotterdam over free will and predestination, the renowned Dutch humanist suggested that the two of them debate the matter civilly, given that both were God-fearing Christians and that the Bible was far from clear on the subject. Exploding in fury, Luther insisted that predestination was a core Christian doctrine on which he could not yield and that Erasmus’s idea that they agree to disagree showed he was not a true Christian.
In his later years, Luther produced venomous attacks on groups he considered enemies of Christ. In his notorious On the Jews and Their Lies, he denounced the Jews as “boastful, arrogant rascals,” “real liars and bloodhounds,” and “the vilest whores and rogues under the sun.” In Against the Roman Papacy, an Institution of the Devil, he called the pope “a true werewolf,” a “farting ass,” and a “brothel-keeper over all brothel-keepers.” When in 1542 a Basel printer was preparing to bring out the first printed Latin version of the Quran, Luther contributed a preface explaining why he supported publication. It was not to promote interfaith understanding. By reading the Quran, he wrote, Christians could become familiar with “the pernicious beliefs of Muhammad” and more readily grasp “the insanity and wiles” of the Muslims. The learned must “read the writings of the enemy in order to refute them more keenly, to cut them to pieces and to overturn them.””
https://www.thenation.com/article/how-martin-luther-paved-the-way-for-donald-trump/
I’m going to say that’s a deliberately dishonest take: there’s no way a guy who wrote a book about Luther & Erasmus can be ignorant of the hatred on all sides.
Luther was clearly the dick of the two, but this historian is doing something that would be considered professionally buffoonish but is regularly excused as a “public intellectual” service (especially “for a good cause” “in times like these”). These types of bizarre “Longshanks prefigured today’s Tory Brexiteers” pieces are normally verboten to historians, because idiotic, but you see them from those willing to put aside any dignity they may have.
True. I didn’t explain myself very well. I was more getting at suggesting that Luther was somehow different from the Catholic church or even some Muslim states during the period. The idea of blood libel predates the reformation by centuries and Catholics weren’t always gentle in the way they dealt with protestant heretics during the period. And, although the Muslim empires contemporary to Luther were pretty tolerant, there were certainly persecutions of Jews in Muslim states prior to that time.
If he read widely to write his book on Luther & Erasmus he must have well aware of these things so to cast Luther as somehow unique is, umm, problematic.
Not mentioned is Martin Luther’s fixation on feces, and Donald Trump hiring hookers to pee on him. Coincidence? I think not.

“The support of white evangelicals for Donald Trump continues to exasperate and perplex.”
Translated:
“Goddamn you stupid fucking Jesus hicks, we have explained to you multiple times that is Not a Good Dude, why didn’t you vote for Hillary Clinton instead?”
Of all the things the leftwing media knows fuckall about but still opines incessantly on, evangelical Christianity in America is right up there with guns. They know absolutely fucking nothing about the subject, but they keep writing shit like that. Huge amounts of projection, right there in the premise: Conservative evangelicals are not voting for God. They have a God, they like Him just fine. It’s progs who have this creepy fucking need to worship The Prophet of the Divine State. Nobody who voted for Donald Trump did so thinking “Our country needs a paragon of family morality to Show The Way, and Donny is that guy.” Now, I think a lot of people voted for him thinking “Hmm that bitter, vicious, drunken, brain diseased corrupt piece of shit who thinks me and my family are “irredeemable” can never be President, and I am voting for the other guy.”
Which is something that gets overlooked a lot: The most vicious thing The Cunt Who Falls Like a Side of Beef said was not “deplorable”, but “irredeemable”. It’s one thing to label half the country as racist, bigoted, etc etc. It’s quit another to explicitly call them “beyond redemption”, to say that they are doomed to spend eternity away from the light of God, burning in the fires of Hell. It remains one of the most hateful things ever said by an American presidential candidate. Possibly the most hateful, when you consider just exactly what The Hag, who is a diehard Methodist of the Social Gospel variety, an actual dyed in the wool evangelical Christian, was not some kind of secular nitwit using a 3 dollar word, but in fact someone who knows exactly what the word “irredeemable” means.
The fact that The Nation is puzzled that evangelical Christians voted against someone who explicitly told them they would burn in Hell for eternity for opposing her kind of says it all about the insularity and provincialism of the prog mindset.
The most vicious thing The Cunt Who Falls Like a Side of Beef said was not “deplorable”, but “irredeemable”.
Bingo. If you are irredeemable, you are permanently an unperson, not fit for society. An untermensch, of no account, who your betters may do with as they please.
What a vicious, hateful person. And remember, that line was focus-grouped with the Smart Set in Hollywood, DC, and the media, and they loved it.

Hmmmmm broken, blind, squirrel clocks?
Good summary of what people on here have been saying.
https://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/dnc-verge-nervous-breakdown-russia-lawsuit/
IE: Dems have lost their minds, they’re succumbing to TDS over this, Discovery is going to absolutely shred their narrative, they are blasting a belt-fed machine gun into their foot, etc.
A triple tin foil hat would say it a deliberate attempt to pass information to the Russians legally.
I think he’s wrong that this goes away in a couple of weeks.
We’ll see what Trump and his lawyers decide to do. They probably have a decent chance of winning a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, but that might be a mistake. The Dems have truly stuck their dick in the meatgrinder on this one, why help them extract it?
From this distance, I think I’d go for counterclaims, so the Dems can’t even dismiss their own case when they wise up to what a colossal mistake it was. File mirror-image claims against the Dems – that they were the ones colluding with Russia (hell, throw in the Ukraine because their IT security consultants are from there). Point out all the entanglements between Hillary and the Russians while she was Secretary of State, which gets you into the Clinton Foundation. Basically, Trump now has permission to put the entire Clinton Machine on trial.
Run the discovery like a motherfucker, on both their claims (why didn’t you let the FBI see the server that the Russians supposedly hacked? etc.) and on the counterclaims (too many juicy discovery opportunities to mention). Prediction – discovery will produce an assload of 5th Amendment pleas, which are PR and political poison.
If I was Trump’s lawyer, I would be doing backflips. The Dems are like the Light Brigade in Crimea, charging straight into our guns, and should meet the same fate. I say, doubleshot the cannon, and let fly!
One more thought:
The Dems are at a huge tactical disadvantage here. Two of the defendants are discovery-proof – the Russian Government and Assange. Whereas the Dems are exposed to discovery. And this is also where the immunity deals the Obama DOJ was passing around like potato chips could come back and bite them – I said above there would be a lot of 5th Amendment pleas, but anyone who got immunity can’t plead the 5th. That means they are exposed to contempt of court, perjury, all the “process” crimes they are trying to use against the Trump team.
Can RNC, as the winners, counter-claim if there is no damage? I think DNC will quietly (with non-coverage from their media friends) withdraw the suit, claiming of course that the justice system won’t protect them from possible inappropriate uses of power by the Trumphitler regime.
Can RNC, as the winners, counter-claim if there is no damage?
I’m pretty sure “we lost the election” isn’t a source of legally compensable damages, either. Not sure exactly what the Dems are claiming as legit damages, but whatever it is the Repubs can probably claim the same. They don’t have to go for damages, anyway – they can go for an injunction of some kind. That would be the hardest part of doing the counterclaims, but remember, this isn’t about winning the lawsuit. This is about PR, politics, and discovery. They just need to survive a motion to dismiss for their counterclaims, which isn’t hard. And if they mirror-image the Dem claims (only with more support because there is lots of evidence pointing to unsavory connections between the Russians and Hillary), then it makes it hard to dismiss their counterclaims without dismissing the Dem lawsuit.
Even a dismissal is a win, PR and politics-wise. Here’s your headline “Dem Russian Collusion Lawsuit Dismissed For Lack of Any Factual Basis”.
The good news, BTW, is that the RNC can’t control whatever Trump’s response is, because it was his campaign, not the RNC, that was sued.

Tariq Nasheed could be ‘a suspected white supremacist’ because you can suspect anyone of anything.
“NYT Reporter Based Her Decision Of When To ‘Freeze Her Eggs’ On Hillary Clinton’s Schedule
A New York Times reporter based her decision of when to “freeze her eggs” on Hillary Clinton’s schedule, regarding the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, according to her column in The New York Times Friday.
The New York Times reporter Amy Chozick, who is known for covering The Clinton Family, reiterated her strong support for the 2016 Democratic Presidential nominee, claiming she made her decision of whether or not to freeze her eggs based on the outcome of the election, she wrote.
“Every major life decision in my 20s and 30s — when to get married, where to buy an apartment, whether to freeze my eggs until after the election — had revolved around a single looming question: what about Hillary Clinton?” Chozick noted.”

That’s pathetic. How low must your self-esteem be to worship another human being like that?
We went to the neighbors house for a birthday party for one of their daughters. Their family is four adopted daughters, three of them with Down’s Syndrome. Needless to say I felt liked a selfish slob compared to them, their attitude and self-sacrifice was humbling. I know I couldn’t handle it.
I also got handed multiple cans of Brewery Vivant beer. I haven’t been this hungover since uh…. last fall.
This is how I feel when I hang out with Swiss. Also the beer.

a suspected white supremacist publication like the National Review
suspected pederast
suspected rapist
suspected embezzler
suspected necrophiliac
suspected lunatic
Using the term ‘suspected’ is couching their stupidity so that they have plausible deniability to go both ways. The statement meets the ‘woke’ criteria for their SJW followers, and using ‘suspected’ gives them, in their eyes, a get out of jail free card for making false accusations.

Kill their stupid fucking twats dumb ass steel workers and farmers. Why are they alive anyway? Terrorists are friendly reminders that white privilege is real and I need a piece of chicken wing now or else I’m gonna totally lose it.”
That’s the gist of it I guess. I know I shouldn’t make fun of the mentally ill but man, she’s one of the most intriguingly hateful SJW out there.
Other than that, for an English prof she sure loves her ‘ums’, ‘likes’ and ‘you knows’. She reminds me of that other pseudo-intellectual Obama.
She appears to run on pure hatred. As always, it’s projection with progressives.
I think I got this by way of one of Derp’s links by the way.
This is the shit that I can’t get through my wife’s head. She is deadset on sending our kids to a university for a degree. I even show her shit like this and she is utterly convinced that our kids NEED this type of environment.
On a other note…she gets shit at work from her peers for not voting. She isn’t lost, just misguided.
I’m pretty sure this dingbat in the video is a minority. Just make sure your kids stay away from the stupid courses created for the SJW losers.
Still a huge problem I know but a minority nonetheless.

But we cannot afford to lose her authentic voice. That’s why colleges grant tenure, so people like her can be insulated from the consequences of their brain farts. Otherwise, it would be just like a Nazi death camp on every campus.
I wish publishers would dispense with the hardcover/paperback timing and just publish both, even if they wholesale the paperback at the same cost for a period. I don’t like owning hardcover books, and I don’t like reading off a Kindle. So Jonah Goldberg is making the rounds for The Suicide of the West and suggesting that he might beat Comey on the bestsellers list after the first week, and wouldn’t you please go buy it? And I’d like to read it, but not in either of the formats presently on offer.
Yeah, I really like the larger, “trade” paperback format. Not paying for hardcover.
I really dislike the excessively rectangular paperback shape that’s become popular in the last couple of years. It’s like non-broadsheet newspapers– designed for people with T rex arms.
