Literally no sports yesterday. Although bring on this side of the Atlantic means we’ve got some early rounds in at Carnoustie.  Kevin Kisner is ahead (-5) as I type this, with the majority of the big names yet to tee off.  I’m going with Tommy Fleetwood this week, although I would really like to see Jordan Spieth (who is -2 through 8 right now) repeat or see Rickie Fowler finally win a major.   And that’s all that’s going on.  Baseball returns with…one game today. That’s it, one freaking game?  ::sigh::  OK, that’s fine by me. I’ll give a full update on golf tomorrow then.

Today’s birthdays include one of the greatest men in the history of gender, racial or ability-equality: Samuel Colt. Sharing it with this great man are nutcase Lizzie Borden, animator Max Fleisher, bluesman Buster Benton, bassist Alan Gorrie, tennis great Ilie Nastase, guitar-player and holder of PhD in Astrophysics Brian May, another guitarist Allen Collins, Nerd Anthony Edwards and actor Benedict Cumberbatch.

Tom & Jerry proving they appeal to all cultures.

Its also the day the Circus Maximus caught fire while Nero kept fiddling, Lady Jane Grey was deposed, Johannes Kepler developed his theory for a geometrical basis of the universe, 5 people were hanged for witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts Colony, Doc Holliday notches up his first kill, the first Tour de France kicked off, Cy Young got his 500th win, Ton & Jerry make their debut in “The Midnight Snack”, Apollo 11 goes into lunar orbit, Deep Purple disbanded, and piece of human garbage Pete Rose was sentenced to 5 months for tax evasion.

That’s it. Now…the links!

Maybe New York ought to rethink their idiotic gun laws. Nah, I’m sure her having the ability to defend herself wouldn’t have kept this from happening.

Trump administration is apparently convinced that words actually have meaning. Although I don’t see this prevailing in the meaning-fluid state of the English language today.

Please keep the line moving, sir. We have a lot of you voters to register today.
-San Francisco policeman

San Francisco decides that citizenship is meaningless.  I mean, I’m sure they’ll only allow them to vote in this one single election, right? There’s no chance for abuse at all. And anyone who thinks there is is nothing but a bigot.

I wonder if Team Blue are regretting their elevation of this moron yet.  I doubt it. They’re likely to start saying she should get the Nobel Prize. It worked for another lightweight politician from that side of the spectrum.

Imbecile

Oh yeah, speaking of that aforementioned lightweight, he’s signaling his support for taking from the productive class and giving it to those who have contributed little to nothing. Molon Labe, fuckhead.

Just like New York, California might want to rethink their laws that prevent people from protecting themselves.  Christ, what a bunch of assholes.

Well now that the race-hustle is complete, it turns out there may be more to the story in the Chicago CVS situation. Gee, what a freaking surprise.

Wow, who the hell knew being a shitty school administrator could pay off so well. That dude makes more than a US Senator or Supreme Court justice, by the way.

A face I assume only a mother could love

Yeah, you might want to sit this one out, mom. ::SHAKING. MY. DAMN. HEAD.::

Tough day for picking a song. But I’ve made my choice and I’m standing by it.

No wait, today deserves double-billing.

Enjoy your day, friends.
