Ein, zwei, drei…. BUHWAAAAA!
Grüezi mittenand.
Your linkings are presented this morning by me. These are precise links. Read, comment, snark.
Alles in ordnung.
- Florida Man continues to be Florida Man. Never change, Florida Man… never change.
- See if you can find where blame is misapplied here.
- This should make you mad for more than one reason.
- Good Heavens…are local countries actually looking to take care of their own backyard? *Gasp*
Uf wiederluege mitenand.
Methinks Swiss has become over-reliant on the edit fairy to do the quality assurance in order to meet the initial posting deadlines.
It’s a nice way of saying, our government is going to give their government a shitload of money to do our bidding.
Damn it… wrong comment.
Actually it was a remark on the missing featured image, the presense of the sidebar and whatnot that will eventually get corrected, but the links vere On Time!.
The picture was there when I looked at 6:00 and I didn’t see anything wrong with the sidebar.
The “Featured Image” is the one that appears on the main page, not the guy waving the flag at the top of the article.
And the problem is that sidebar is still here.
*glares at the right side of the screen*
Huh. On mobile it just appears on the bottom.
Could have sworn I saw an image on the front page.
On desktop it’s not scrunching up these comments. I have to make the window fullscreen to not get a stack of letters for the one I’m adding now.
I thought I was getting called to the light as the tunnel tightened.
*It’s Now scrunching.
well, after the edit faerie comes around and takes away the sidebar that comment will be true…
The light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be New Jersey.
I had to keep driving and pay the toll to get out.
Ordnung should be capitalized.
Don’t get too excited, Iraq can’t even deal with Iraq, let alone Syria.
Feature, not bug. Saddam and Qaddafi were able to take care of their own little feifdoms just fine. But nooooo, we couldn’t let that continue.
Couple hours to midnight here and the kid is in bed and the wife curled up on the couch watching The Red and White Show (a variety show they’ve had every New Year’s eve for decades). Made myself a nice little high ball after a day of taking care of them. Some kind of stomach flu. The mother and father in-law are home by themselves this year. M-I-L has been feeling bad and we’ve been worried it was a return of the big “C” which she had in her throat years ago. F-I-L also had a large tract of colon removed last year because of the big “C”. Everybody is bit weaker this year and we all are spending New Year’s eve apart for the first time in 15 years.
*Sips High Ball*. It’s sad to think about how we aren’t going to be together with the brother in law and his family and all of us pouring each other’s drinks, listening to F-I-L’s bad puns. None of M-I-L’s nikujaga (potato and meat soup) to warm our insides. There was discussion in the comments about stoicism the other day and so I looked at that philosophy again. Something that stood out was how we don’t lose anything or anyone. We never had anything or anyone. It’s all borrowed and we should appreciate what time we had.
So it comes down to this, doesn’t it? We may think that we’re just fucking around online and that the people behind the avatars are just Tulpa. I’ve met a few of you (very sorry to miss out on meeting up with Raphael the other night) and can say that I appreciate the idiots around here. I got four brother and the only way I know how to show affection is by drilling you in the shoulder. So here’s a shoulder pounding to all you miscreants on this final night of 2018.
“listening to F-I-L’s bad puns. ”
Nothing as universal as fathers and bad puns. My theory is we get used to the captive audience. Patriarchy and all that.
My kids complain of the same things. Kids today, anyway, whew. In my day fathers didn’t have puns, only a list of stuff for me to do after school and I always knew what I was do on the week end ’cause my dad told me. In retrospect I had the best dad in the world. Wouldn’t trade him if I could.
Did the MIL get throat cancer the same was as Kirk Douglas?
^This is why I love this place. Any other group of people and I’m the weirdo who is always being counseled on what is “appropriate” and what isn’t. Here, I’m one of the Moral Majority who looks askance at Adahn’s poor taste (but still giggles at his bon mot too).
Hope things get better for your family Straff. A lot of the older folks in my world now are having some health issues too and it is alarming to think that they are mortal.
*punches Straff twice for flinching*
I agree. Just one problem. Michael, not Kirk.
Dude, Kirk got it from rim jobs on green ladies.
Is that why he’s The Ragman’s Son?
KAAAAAAAAAAHN
See, I knew I wasn’t the only one here with an Asian MILF lesbian fetish.
Let’s see. Would that be Pisces in Venus, riding on a Dragon?
I just cast next week’s horoscope — spoiler alert: it sucks.
Feel better straff, here’s hoping the family’s health improves going into the new year.
Thanks. This goes for both ^ and comments below. I actually don’t feel bad. It’s just what it is and I’m grateful.
Wishing you and your extended family all the best, Straff.
I have been talking back and forth with most of you knuckleheads for up to fifteen years. Other than my immediate family I know some of you better than people in meatspace. I do appreciate y’all.
Happy new year to all of you.
Straff. Have great new year. It was great meeting you in person. I agree we should always strive for more but appreciate what we have.
Cheers, man. I promise all of you that what I’ve written is about as sentimental as I get. Back to dick jokes ASAP.
I’ll be hoisting a few Nikka in the rocks tonight. Have a good one.
So when you order one, do you say “Nikka, please”.

I think I saw that potato and beef dish being cooked on Iron Chef (the real one). Katsuyo Kobayashi. It looked comforting.
And she kicked the Iron Chef’s ass.
It’s easy to make badly. That’s how mine usually turns out. It’s the same with onigiri. I have no idea what the mom puts in it, but my wife certainly doesn’t know the secret. Some people add a dash of coka cola to sweeten the nikujaga. The mom’s head almost spun off when I told her that.
Here it is. Maybe you can get a hint from her?
Hopefully, there’s no issue with “not available in your country,” which is often a problem with YouTube.
That lady is so far beyond what I can do. Maybe I’ll try to steal the peeling of the potatoes instead of just throwing chunks in like I usually do. Rewatch that when I’m sober may be a good idea, too.
My wife is a pretty good cook, but her sister is a fantastic cook. At one point the SIL ran her own restaurant and made some good money.
I haven’t figured out how to diplomatically suggest to my wife that she pick her sister’s brain for some cooking tips. I’d learn myself, but the SIL is still old school and doesn’t think men should need to know how to cook.
Anyone who likes to eat should know how to cook.
It’s like that in my family. My mother whips the butts of her siblings – one of whom was a trained French chef. It’s interesting. Now they all acknowledge she’s the Iron Chef of this clan.
Yes. She’s that good. Fours of visiting SIAL convinced me of that.
But hey.
Four years straight of SIAL that is. I looked into importing food once upon a time.
SIAL?
Sister-in-anal-law?
WOOT! WOOT!
Cheers to all of us. May 2019 be a better year, or at least a good one. Kudos to the founders for creating this space for us to converse and cavort in.
The so-called ‘journalist’ didn’t even define their acronyms!
It took me a second to crack it. I guess the writer assumed everyone in the world lives in NYC.
I figured it out, but at first glance, there are potentialities. Are we talking the Historic Association, the Housing Agency, Heating and Air?
Well everyone important lives in NYC, and they know. / Writer
Crazy for the Metro section of a local newspaper!
If it’s so local, why does everyone link to it.
“He needs to be punished very severely. I wish American jails were stricter, like Russian jails,” Fedorovsky fumed. “You go there once, and you never want to return. In America, they have their dietary needs taken care of, they can watch television.”
I hear Russians are known for their mercy.
But yes, the guy is a piece of work. But thank goodness the city is providing housing. Think about how poor the upkeep would be if it was a private landlord.
The guy is 50 years old and still doing this shit. They should take him to Alaska and drop him off on a glacier. If he makes it out of there alive, all is forgiven.
Guten Morgen, Herr Schweizer!
And don’t let Ted and UCS get you down, up-thread. That’s just who they are. We still
lovelike them.If he doesn’t know us by now…
He will never ever ever know us, ooh.
FTFY. 😉
Careful, these days “tolerate” means “wholeheartedly endorse and support” rather than “to forebear the existance of”
I have pity for him. The Swiss like to think they speak German, but what they speak isn’t.
They speak High-Middle-High Old German.
You were taught High-High-Middle Past Participle German.
Demon Rum. No one is safe.
I don’t have Demon Rum.
I do have Kraken Rum, Haitian White Rum, and another spiced rum whose name escapes me.
I should actually open the Haitian Rum and see if it’s any good.
Does liquor ever go bad?
It could start out that way. This bottle is still sealed, I’ve never had the brand before.
Jager go bad as soon as you open the bottle.
So, you don’t want the rest of the bottle I have in my freezer?
… come to think of it, someone who didn’t know me who looked at the bottle collection on the shelf, the bottles on the kitchen counter, bottles in the fridge and the freezer half-full of booze might think I drank a lot.
The reason the bottles are still there is because I don’t drink all that much.
Wait…you’re the guy that drinks alone and you have a half bottle of Jager? That’s hardcore.
Of course I drink alone. Do you expect me to drink around other people?
Only if you drink too much at one sitting
“The arrested removed his penis from his pants and began stroking it while still looking at the off-duty officer,” the affidavit states.
Needs some Billy Squire in the background.
The way it’s written sounds like it wasn’t attached to anything.
True. Needs some King Missile in that case.
That’s what I thought of as soon as I read that sentence.

“Good Heavens…are local countries actually looking to take care of their own backyard? *Gasp*”
Oh sure, when Russia does it in Ukraine, it’s terrible, but the Iraqis can invade Syria. /Ducks
In seriousness, isn’t it funny that a country is condemned more for bombing a country the closer they are together? If the US invaded Mexico to “restore order” in the northern states, it would be condemned, even though it’s more realistically affecting the US and the US would face the brunt of fleeing refugees.
Come to think of it, we are overdue to invade mexico again.
I can hear it now:

Trying to make the socialists live within a Budget?
They certainly aren’t Thrifty. Always waiting to spend the next Dollar.

While it gives us the Advantage of an excuse, we’d probably do that anyway.
They should all just get a job. All they seem to Avis other people’s money.
Proxy wars never go out of style.
Trouble ranges from street robbery and fighting to drug dealing, theft and litter.
That looks like the caption to the drunk chick flailing on the ground and giving us a fanny shot up her miniskirt.
That’s a funny pic.
That’s not even from ‘late-nite’ bar activity — that’s from that stupid derby day in which the ladies all dress up with fancy hats and then proceed to get hammered.
And the damn hosted server has problems, on a long weekend for the provider, on the last couple of days of the year when we have accounting issues to take care of.

I’ve been to Aylesbury a couple of times. Drinking is about the only thing that can improve it.
We’ll it’s not like the Brits are allowed to bitch on the internet, they’ll get arrested.
Following a pledge to reverse the worst effects of round-the-clock opening, the Tories permitted local authorities to make pubs and nightclubs pay ‘late night levies’ to fund policing.
Then good ol’ boys were drinking whiskey and rye?
Happy New Year! May your 2019 be fruitful, fun and constructive!
⬆ ????
Happy New Year.
I have no idea how 2018 zoomed by so fast. It might be connected to bourbon consumption. More study is needed.
No kidding. That bottle of Dewar’s I opened tonight has about 100ml left of the 700ml it started with. Why am I not plastered?
Oh, goody. Elizabeth Warren just made her presidential candidacy official.
Start cooking your popcorn, people, it’s about to get weird.
About to?
. . . not enough popcorn!
She couldn’t even wait until 2019. It’s going to be a long 2 years. Not without humor and Schadenfreude, to be sure, but it’s gonna be long.
Cannon fodder. Seriously, I think the early announcers must do it knowing that they’re going to take flak that might otherwise go to another candidate.
^this.
It never ends well for them. Wonder what goodies she was promised.
I love the statement she made in her announcement:
“Middle class America is under attack.”
nice of her to give us fair warning; socialists rarely do that.
I feel like they do, people are just stupid and assume they’re going to gore someone else’s ox.
Yes, the many should pay to police the few. And no mention anywhere in the article that maybe this isn’t the way it should be.
What are they screeching about over at the Atlantic? Trump wants to let go of the tar baby.
This time, an American withdrawal will not have been preceded by years of sunk blood and treasure—just by the president’s lust for bragging rights and his indifference to any cause greater than some chimerical “win.” Trump’s version of peace with honor—like so much about his presidency—is notable for its blatant stupidity, its needless cruelty. Everyone, even the Trump mouthpieces on Fox News, knows that the Islamic State isn’t “defeated.” The betrayal of our Kurdish and Arab allies is entirely gratuitous. They will pay the price; we will soon forget. There will be no peace for them and no honor for us.
Never loosen your grip. Clutch it more tightly to your breast.
They won’t be satisfied until the last American leaves on a helicopter from a rooftop being enclosed on by the enemy.
That, to me, is probably the most disgusting part. You know that the same people insistent on poking and prodding us into war will do an exact 180 the minute we find ourselves actually embroiled in the war they’re demanding.
I’d love to see one of these bastards’ careers be dependent on being able a Syria intervention in the context of even something so basic as the Weinberger Doctrine.
This time its different, no roof tops left
Way to skewer your own argument there idiot.
The most that Americans have tried to achieve in Syria is to mitigate the worst
The only reason that they didn’t get “the worst” was because Kerry mistakenly gave Assad an out with his presser about chemical weapons. Imagine how much worse Syria would be today if Obama had gotten rid of Assad like he wanted to.
Dude, it’s like you don’t even believe in the power of purple thumbs.
I’m trying to figure out his objection to Trump’s withdrawal and it appears that his beef is over style rather than substance. He acknowledges the futility of the exercise, yet he just cannot bring himself to approve of any Trump decision so he has to object based on manner.
Because the manner is far more important than the wasted blood and treasure. Christ, what an asshole.
That in a nutshell is the entire argument against Trump.
The Establishment has spent centuries working out a protocol for “diplomacy” (aka hiding your shitty empire building lust behind fancy words) and along comes Trump who upsets the apple cart by simply doing what he wants without the niceties.
I think a lot of Trump’s ideas – like tariffs – are pretty dumb, but I give him props for straight up saying he is going full protectionist and then doing it. No secret meetings like they had for the TPP.
So, in other words, “It’s going to be a pointless exercise that wastes countless dollars and almost certainly gets our young soldiers killed to no beneficial effect. It might well even make matters worse. But, it’s too important that we be sure to signal our virtue.”.
I’m not a sadist, but a son of a bitch like this almost deserves to have his fingernails removed without anesthetic.
That is pretty damning.
It is a pretty safe bet that neither Mr. Packer nor any other person at the Atlantic has a son or daughter in harm’s way with the U.S. military. At least a war monger like Teddy Roosevelt actually had kids that served (his namesake son died at Normandy in WWII).
Teddy Jr. did die in Normandy in WWII, but it was from a heart attack (being an old geezer of 56). The death that really put Teddy into an early grave was of his youngest son Quentin who died flying at the front in WWI
TR died a year of so later in 1919.
You make a good point Creech. I spent a career in the Army and my current employer has me working with the military out here. Except for young Privates who missed the last 17+ years nobody is happy with Syrian, Iraq, and increasingly with Afghan deployments. For the ITO and ATO the view largely is that those governments have had enough time to secure the loyalties of their citizens and we have done all we can for the military. It’s time to go. Syria has been largely confined to SOF with the general purpose forces do everything they can to not go there.
Is Susan Rice, Rachel Maddow and the Atlintic writer are so fired up to fight in Syria I’ll be glad to rent them some firearms and give them some maps and they can do it. Instead of being the Abraham Lincoln Brigade they can be the Barrack Obama Battalion.
Anybody remember something about “no blood for oil” or some such? Wasn’t that a thing?
The problem with having a flighty president: Graham meets with Trump, Trump reconsidering Syria withdrawal.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/39788/lindsey-graham-after-meeting-trump-hes-still-hank-berrien
Don’t back down, dummy.
I swear that if Graham really talked Trump into staying there, I will pray 6 times a day to Yahweh for Graham to be afflicted with each of the Ten Plagues.
Shoulda thought of that before you sucker punched an 88 year old woman you piece of shit.
That dude don’t sound right in da head. Seriously. I bet that guy has an IQ around 75 if he’s saying shit like that.
They’re letting him off with an apology? That’s a Christmas miracle, man. I’d tell the nice lady I was sorry and consider myself damned lucky.
Oh, goody. Elizabeth Warren just made her presidential candidacy official.
Yippee!

“Teenagers” get out of hand in Chicago… again. I wonder what it is that makes the city so susceptable to rampaging mobs of undescribed persons.
“The transit police promise close examination of CCTV footage. We’ll see who, if anyone, is brought to justice”
“Yeah, we’ve got our best men on it” Regales himself in a fit of laughter.
2018 Homicide Clearance Rate, Chicago
Legal Outcome Homicides
No Suspect Charged 479
Suspect Charged 89
Murder-Suicide 7
Police-Involved 6
Self-Defense 4
-Self-Defense 4
I’ve wondered why there aren’t more, considering the total amount of shootings.
“No Suspect Charged” would include “He was gonna shoot me so I capped him first. But don’t call no cops.”
My father once testified in a murder/self-defense trial where one of his probationers had shot and killed another of his probationers at a party where they were both black out drunk.
The two drunks had gotten into an argument and Mr. X said he was going to go to his car and get his gun and shoot Mr Y in the face. At that point Mr Y shot Mr X and killed him.
The defense lawyer put my dad and most of the cops on the stand and asked them if they considered Mr X’s threat to be credible and all of them say “Not only yes, but fuck yes!”
Mr Y, got off the murder rap because it was ruled as self-defense, but still had to do some time for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Where’s Chicago’s Bernie Goetz?
I don’t know, but apparently the original Mr. Goetz is still alive.
Uffda. A real negative consequence of Global Warming?
Chicago’s Police Superintendant Eddie Johnson is not inspiring confidence by dismissing the incident as “kids doing goofy things.”
That’s just a dog whistle for “monkeying around,” racist.
Adam Serwer is nuts
There are not many Trump scandals. There is one Trump scandal. Singular: the corruption of the American government by the president and his associates, who are using their official power for personal and financial gain rather than for the welfare of the American people, and their attempts to shield that corruption from political consequences, public scrutiny, or legal accountability.
Would this idiot, any of the multitude of other “outraged democrats” give a fuck if it was Hillary Clinton in the White House using her official position for personal and financial gain rather than for the welfare of the American people?
“Welfare of the American people” he says. what a cruel sad cynical joke.
Happy New Year!
Thanks to the contributors for keeping this hive of scum and villiany going.
I can guarentee I will submit my article in 2019 ?
Just one?
And I thought I was the procrastinator-general around here.
Haha. No, I got you beat. I think I submitted my idea in October.
The kitbash articles were started last christmastime…
Some people add a dash of coka cola to sweeten the nikujaga. The mom’s head almost spun off when I told her that.

New years resolution: only C cups o less
Hey Pie, did you see my post this weekend where we name-checked you? Drank a carbonic maceration barely-off-dry Feteasca Neagra, something I never knew about before your posts. PERFECT with pizza. And it was stupid-cheap.
Nope. Off the top of my head I only know some Vardo from Segarcea that used carbonic maceration
Reading the post that does not seem like it so I have no idea
I meant the Feteasca Neagra variety in general, not this specific one. Once you set us down that path, we’ve been experimenting.
Interestingly, the label gave no hints that there was a little bit of residual sugar and it was made with carbonic, we found this out when we tasted it. Totally non-serious wine, but lots of fun.
Well what the hell is it called?
What’s the difference between a serious and a non-serious wine?
a serious wine has a retirement plan
It’s just plain Murfatlar Feteasca Neagra. 2016. Not any of the cuvees.
Oh I don’t drink Murfatlar so probably never ttied it
You Sir are a Saint. Sadly, I’m at work.
The president’s opponents have yet to craft a coherent narrative about the Trump administration’s corruption, even though the only major legislative accomplishment Trump has to his name is cutting his own taxes.
Wait- ORANGE MAN BAD! isn’t a coherent narrative?
-17F and 20mph wind. Sitting inside, nice and warm, visiting with you fine people and watching a flock of ~30 Common Redpolls at the thistle feeder, and some Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers at the suet.

Dammit. I Gilmore’d a Brooks comment.
Impressive.

Nothing exciting for this New Year’s Eve – will most likely end up watching some 50s sci-fi. THEM!and The War of the Worlds (1953) are popular.
I’m still feeling vaguely hungover today… and I’m back at work too. Boss sez he is going to kick us out early today since it’s so dead. Even production or shipping isn’t running today, so it’s a bunch of people in the office, surfing the web.
That’s why I come in to work on the days between the weekend and a holiday. It’s so quiet.
When our kids were younger we used to host the Loser’s Ball. It was for anyone who had young kids. We’d throw all the kids down in our basement and have gobs of responsible fun upstairs with other adults. It was pretty fun even if it did end almost exactly at 12:15 every year.
I think we pretty much stopped hosting the party about 10 years ago because everyone’s kids had gotten old enough to leave at home for the night. Now, I’ll probably play some cards with the kids before they go to their party then go to sleep (probably before midnight).
The days where I went to a NYE party, got into trouble, drank too much, smoked too much, and ended up passing out in a bathroom are lonnnnggg gone.
passing out in a bathroom
Ah, 2004. I came to in 2005, missed midnight.
Yep, its been a while.
Hmm, I need to see what movie SP is in the mood for. Much cooking has begun.
Pretty much sums up all of last week.
Last year, the girlfriend and I started a new thing. We host a smallish dinner party. It’s nice because you have to eat, offsetting the booze. Also, it’s not a huge group that either you don’t know or risk messing up the place.
I normally never go out for “amateur night”.
Home and the Marx Brothers, but apparently no Marx tonight.
/sad
I guess this is supposed to be shocking but honestly if you live in an apartment building and don’t behave as if the front door is always open (because, often it is – people go in and out all day, prop the door open for moving, etc.) well that’s dumb.
If anyone else has access to a door, I do not regard it as secure. But, a lot of people seem to lack common sense, so they might be horrified that the external door of a communal space was propped open.
The locations in the Florida Man story don’t correspond to any map locations I can find.
New Years is when I make at least three “takes all day” dishes.
What the fuck was I thinking????
“It’ll be midnight by the time the food is ready, win-win!”
I think we’ll be just tearing into dessert about then. Blueberry vareniki topped with whipped cream.
I am a guest this new years am bringing some wine and some bread mostly.
That reminds me. I need to buy some cheddar and maybe some more flour for a loaf of garlic chedder beer bread.
Is carting bread to a party a thing in some places? The only other time I’ve heard of it—other than being asked to pick up a loaf if the host forgot it—is the episode of Seinfeld when Jerry robs an old lady for her marbled rye.
It is the ind of party where we did most of the shopping as a group beforehand and split the costs. We wanted to have fresh bread and I like close to a good bakery so got the bread today
It is if you baked it yourself that morning for the event.
But Pie’s Romanian, so I assume it’s a custom leftover from Soviet times when Bread was scarse.
I have bought some scratch lottery tickets which I plan to scratch close to midnight. Maybe I get lucky
If you win, I’m up for adoption.
That reminds me, I need to run out and pick up some mega millions lotto tickets today.
Happy Mutha Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking New Year.

ヨヨ落としたよ。(Old man joke).
I admit to having a weakness for the oyaji gag or “dad gag”.

Part of is simply the triumph of being able grasp something that a native 6 year Japanese child thinks is a bad joke…
You seem to be a nice guy, but I’m going to give you this riddle anyways. It’s a bit dirty. Say “Ultraman” “coffee” “lighter” in Japanese and what do you get?
I gotta get to bed. Sorry. That’s actually an extremely dirty joke, so please don’t ask your Japanese teacher what it means.
Tease.
No justice, no dope!
The results in Colorado, the District of Columbia and the nine other states where recreational marijuana became legal from 2012 to 2018 have left some lawmakers and even marijuana legalization advocates skeptical of broad social-justice claims. For that reason, lawmakers in New Jersey and New York — two of the three states expected to legalize marijuana in 2019 — are now pushing for detailed criminal justice and business equity measures as part of any legalization package.
Apparently, marijuana legalization was supposed to usher in new era of social justice and the end of racism, or something. Now, we have nothing but disillusionment, disappointment, and dismay to show for it.
“business equity measures”
Free trade?
How about not deliberately hijacking the movement in order to crony and to keep the black market in place?
I have no doubt that decriminalization alone would reallocate a good deal of income from poor blacks to mostly white investors and entrepreneurs. But, of course, it’s never just decriminalization: it’s a bureaucratic package of hoops that raises the cost of legitimacy rather than lowering it. You think your cousin who grows dope on the sly or sells it to you is going to get a license? You think his no-storefront, home delivery business model is going to fly with the city?
Chuck Todd is more of a retarded c*nt than I thought.

WATCH: Chuck Todd Bans ‘Climate Deniers’ From ‘Meet The Press’
Photo by William B. Plowman/NBC/NBC NewsWire via Getty Images
ByHANK BERRIEN
December 30, 2018
On Sunday, Chuck Todd, host of NBC’s Meet The Press, used his bully pulpit to deny any opportunity for opponents of climate change activists to appear while he devoted his entire show to climate change, saying, “We’re not going to give time to climate deniers.”
Beginning by announcing his show would be devoted to the “climate crisis,” Todd played snippets from various people, some of whom have suffered from natural disasters and some who simply opined that there was indeed a crisis, then pontificated: “The evidence is everywhere.” “The science is settled.” “But the politics is not.”
Then he got down to business, stating, “This morning, we’ll report on the challenge of climate change, the science, the damage to our environment, the cost, and the politics. Welcome to Sunday and this special edition of Meet the Press.”
Todd’s opening monologue followed, and within it he demonstrated how unwilling he was to even permit an opponent of his position any air time on his show. He said:
Good Sunday morning, and a happy New Year’s weekend to everyone. This morning, we’re going to do something that we don’t often get to do, dive in on one topic. It’s obviously extraordinarily difficult to do this, as the end of this year has proven, in the era of Trump. But we’re going to take an in-depth look, regardless of that, at a literally Earth-changing subject that doesn’t get talked about this thoroughly on television news, at least, climate change. But just as important as what we are going to do this hour is what we’re not going to do. We’re not going to debate climate change, the existence of it.”

The democrat debates are going to be epic. All of them trying to prove who is the most woke and most generous with other people’s money. I’d like to see a new program where all wages and profits go directly to the federal government and then a panel of woke czars determine how it gets divided equally to the people. Totes equality, yes we can.

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/congresswoman-hopes-reparations-bill-is-path-to-repair-some-of-the-damage-caused-by-slavery/
“Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) told PJM that the federal government should conduct a study of reparations for descendants of slaves to be able to determine the best way to “repair some of the damage” that slavery has caused to the African-American community.
Jackson Lee became the lead sponsor of H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act, after Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) resigned from Congress.
The legislation seeks to “address the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery, its subsequent de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies, and for other purposes.””
You and nobody you know was ever a slave or slave owner. But if we are going down this path then someone better get me my money because I am of Slavic (where the word ‘slave’ came from) desent.
I will only support payments made to anyone who was themselves personally a legally held slave in the united states prior to the ratification of the thirteenth amendment.
You’re had a hundred and fifty years to get your shit together, and many have – don’t blame whitey.
The welfare state probably damaged African Americans more than slavery. Blacks began to turn things around in the 20th century until the welfare state.
But it’s a bit more difficult for poverty pimps to scream for reparations for walfare. Especially since they need the system and the disfunction to get re-elected.
The welfare state probably damaged African Americans more than slavery.
I’m as shitlordiest of shitlords and even I was left blushing at that. The welfare state destroyed the AA family, but if they were given the choice, I don’t think they’d choose slavery.
Heh. I knew I was pushing it when I typed that. My point is I’ve read fascinating stuff about African American entrepreneurship prior to the welfare state in the post-slavery era. Mind you, I believe one town was burned down by racist assholes.
So yeh, I retract.
Reparations is a terrible idea. A cynical idea passing off as ‘justice’.
Slavery was a terrible chapter in American history but leave it as history. Let sleeping dogs lie….opening up that can of worms will likely open the country up to a new set of problems.
And as pointed out already many times, it’s not like it was unique to America as slavery is really – sadly- part of the human experience. Many societies, tribes, countries etc. have been enslaved in some form or another.
What is slavery? They take 100% of what you earn? How about 90%? You just follow the logic and it takes you to weird places.
opening up that can of worms will likely open the country up to a new set of problems.
Feature, not bug, by those doing this greivance mongering.
What are the odds it gains traction? It’s a couple of years they’re hammering at this at the periphery testing the waters.
They’ve squaked about reparations for decades, not years. There won’t be any traction this time either.
Bear in mind – they don’t actually want reparations to be paid. If there is a closure that can be pointed to, they lose the talking point.
More like decades. It was really ramping up just before 9/11.
I was wondering the same, Rufus. And with all the “Rhee! You’re a racist!11!!” the groundwork is being laid to crush any dissent, logical or otherwise, as nothing other than racist white dudes who don’t want to pay the black man what he’s owed.
I used to think there was no way it would happen. Now, I’m not so sure.
The “You’re a Racist” attack is losing its edge from overuse. There’s already a large segment of the populace whose response to such an accusation is “oh, shut up already”
“I used to think there was no way it would happen. Now, I’m not so sure.”
The dems will be able to push through all of their other crazy economy killing non-sense, including She Guevara’s Green New Deal before they will get that through. At that point, it won’t matter, because we will have long since ran out of other people’s money.
You guys are probably right. I hope you are. But I thought no way socialized health care gets passed. And then I thought no way it gets through SCOTUS.
That’s not socialized healthcare. It’s the excuse for socialized healthcare. But we’re not going to get that either, because Americans are not willing to pay 40-50% of their income in taxes like Europeans do.
No, I know. As I typed I thought I should change it to something else. But to my point, I didn’t think we’d even get close to socialized healthcare, and then I thought it couldn’t get through SCOTUS. So what I’m saying is, don’t be too sure about “there’s no way Americans will agree to ‘X'”
Of course, the real issue may just be that I have no idea what the hell I’m talking about.
If you meant that the welfare state damaged current AA’s more than slavery, then you might be OK.
Yes along those lines.
Slaves have to work. Welfare recipients don’t. So if people are just going to hand you things, which is the more rational situation?
We’ll never know but I wonder how much of the idea of welfare is rooted in subconscious white guilt.
I guess they really screwed up when they let whitey get it also.
Isn’t it Walter Williams that argues that he is better off for having had his ancestors be part of the asiento than if they’d been left in Africa? That’s like shitlord level 9000 stuff right there.
I discovered Walter Williams when he took over for Limbaugh a few years back. I couldn’t stop listening. Him and Sowell are wonderful to listen to.
Lets see… how many people flee the US and try to get into Africa?
So, let’s see if we can sum up the Democrats plan for the next 2 years.
1. Impeach Trump
2. Impeach everyone in government who is a Republican
3. Free healthcare
4. Free college
5. $15 an hour job for everyone
6. Green New Deal
7. Reparations – AKA a white tax
Can we get the check please?
You forgot: start hot wars with Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, alt-right, white men, and gays who aren’t registered Democrats.
They’ll never present a bill because it’s never enough. I recall many times people trying to get democrats to put a number on how much money spent per student in public schools is the appropriate amount. They will never answer that question.
They’ll come up with all sorts of stuff, but they’ll never put it to a vote if they think it can pass. Trump might just be crazy enough to sign it. All of their ideas are impossible pipe dreams. They just need to keep their insane voters all hyped up. So you propose a medicare for all bill, that you know cannot pass. Then you blame Republicans. That’s all there is. It’s all show, stay in power, keep the masses in perpetual hysteria.
There’s no question. Look at the opportunities they’ve had to change immigration/border laws. They need those issues to use to cry racist whenever the wrong president enforces the laws they’re responsible for.
So if a black man kills my father, sending my family into poverty, can I get reparations, too? Or does it only work at the group level?
How about just handing over some major cities to run?
Detroit and Baltimore weren’t enough?
That was the joke
Or they could just give an entire state to white progs. Let them pass all the crazy prog shit they can dream up.
If this gets any traction, 23 and Me and the other DNA testing outfits will get fucking bonkers rich as everyone tries to get that loot.
My first rule would be to define the cutoff limit for reparations as 1 Warren. If you have more dark drops of blood than her you qualify.
Now the real question is: Does anyone with more than 1 Warren of African blood get reparations? Or does anyone with more than one Warren of white blood get a bill for reparations?
Anyone with even one warren of white blood is barred from recieving reparations.
So those white rapists are going to end up really fucking up a brother, aren’t they?
The best thing about the idea of reparations combined with DNA will be having everyone figure out how much we really are related.
At my last job we worked with a ton of Europeans and us mongrel crackers would always laugh about how easy it was to pick them out because they were “sooo white”. Us natives all had a blending of features that you didn’t notice until you were placed right next to a purebred German.
Labour talked of bringing in a Continental-style cafe culture when it introduced round-the-clock opening, despite opposition from police and ambulance staff.
But the Home Office’s report on alcohol and late night refreshment licensing shows that disorder sparked by alcohol has spiralled.
I thought they were going to blame guns.
Once again, leftists conflate cause an effect.
The around the clock operating cafes are a result of the culture, not the cause of it.
They thought they were going to turn the British into French or Germans. I mean, it seemed legit.
“Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) told PJM that the federal government should conduct a study of reparations for descendants of slaves to be able to determine the best way to “repair some of the damage” that slavery has caused to the African-American community.

My ancestors were slaves to the Romans – pay up!
Romulus Augustus abdicated in 476. The Byzantine Pretenders were crushed in 1453. The Holy Roman Empire ended in 1806.
Who are you demanding pay?

Shorter Coffins.
Charles Murray, “Losing Ground.” Superb quantitative analysis of exactly that.
My ancestors, the Neanderthals were genocided by darky homo sapiens, looked just like Sheila Jackson Lee. Pay up, beeotch!
I didn’t know cowboy hats have been around that long.
Sounds good, Rep. Lee. I’m sure I’d have been a U.S. Rep too if only my gggrandfather hadn’t been bayoneted in the groin during the march on Richmond and set us back a few generations on the work/education wheel of fortune.

I finally got around to watching Death Wish II and III last night, and they were every bit as horrendous as I expected them to be. I also suspect that this film franchise is dead-on accurate in its portrayal of what progressives genuinely believe about the attitudes of 2A supporters and advocates of the right to self defense.
Charles Bronson? Or have they remade the movies?
The Bronson ones. The first one is a respectably competent film, but the sequels just spiral into idiocy in short order.
TW- fucking hipsters
Despite the popularity of debit- and credit-card transactions, plenty of people do still pay for things with actual money. Cash represented 30% of all transactions and 55% of those under $10, according to a Federal Reserve survey of 2,800 people conducted in October 2017.
Jaclyn Benton, 30, visited a Sweetgreen near her office in Reston, Va., last summer with $20 cash, but no credit or debit card because she had forgotten her wallet at home. When her order was ready and she went to pay, the cashier explained that the restaurant doesn’t take bills.
“It’s almost like when your credit card gets declined for silly reasons,” says Ms. Benton, who works as an event planner. “It makes you feel like you can’t afford it even though I had the money right there.”
Ms. Benton has no plans to go back: “It feels very elitist,” she says.
A Sweetgreen spokeswoman said its decision makes its team members safer amid the risk of robbery and improves the cleanliness and efficiency of the restaurants.
“We don’t want your business.”
A Sweetgreen spokeswoman said its decision makes its team members safer amid the risk of robbery…
I’m pretty sure that robbery in whatever neighborhood a business named Sweetgreen is in is no more a concern than earthquakes or floods. They should just admit they don’t trust their employees with handling cash which is more of a management or HR issue than it is about what forms of payment are sufficiently modern.
They could always go the route of the Bangladeshi couple whose salons—three of them, now—we’ve built over the years. In every location I’ve installed at least six cameras covering the lobby, three on the cash wrap alone. They don’t fuck around about the cash, but then, the Bangladeshi girls they hire are apparently flagrant, unapologetic thieves.
“…the Bangladeshi girls they hire are apparently flagrant, unapologetic thieves.”
No way. I refuse to believe that.
Are they hot though?
It reduces shrinkage from employee theft/math mistakes. More importantly, it reduces the risk associated with the weekly cash deposit; when a manager takes cash to the bank. That is dangerous as fuck. There are alot of creeps in this world.
So they want me to hand over my credit card numbers to employees who can’t be trusted with cash? I almost always pay cash in bars and restaurants.
I was going to quote what is written on US bills…something to effect of ‘this note is legal tender for all debts public and private’ but ironically I dont have any cash to get the quote off of.
That’s what it says (with a comma after debts). From Wikipedia:
Contrary to common misconception, there is no federal law stating that a private business, a person, or a government organization must accept currency or coins for payment. Private businesses are free to create their own policies on whether they accept cash, unless there is a specific state law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in cents or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores, and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency as a matter of policy or safety.
The principal purpose of that statute is to ensure the nationwide acceptance of U.S. currency, consistent with constitutional language that reserves to Congress the power to create a uniform currency that holds the same value throughout the United States. While the statute provides that U.S. money is legal tender that may be accepted for the payment of debts, it does not require acceptance of cash payments, nor does it provide that restrictions cannot be imposed upon the acceptance of cash.
“See if you can find where blame is misapplied here.”
So, Limey dudes fight like girls? No wonder Teresa May is their leader. They’re doomed.
Clearly the answer is prohibition.
Is there anything else left to ban in the UK besides alcohol?
It’s kind of like derp, you think they’ve run out but they always find more.
I’m starting to suspect that alcohol is the only way to make living in the UK bearable.
The sun never shines and the food sucks, their politicians are worse than ours, so… yeah, that sounds right.

It’s probably bullshit, but I think I have seen a similar thing attributed to Muhammad Ali. Something about his great granddaddy “getting on that boat.”
Ali just came home from his pilgrimage to Mecca. He had visited Africa while over there. Some reporter asked him what he thought of Africa. He responded “Thank God my granddaddy was on that boat”
What is sad to me are the blacks here seeking an identity who try to emulate African dress or style. What they dont know is that in Africa they are hated with the fire of a thousand suns. They belong to no tribe. They would be put on a spit and roasted over there. Most Africans dont give a shit about skin color. If you dont belong to their tribe you aren’t human.
“who try to emulate African dress or style.”
How much of that was pushed by white liberal academics pushing multiculturalism over cultural assimilation?
When I see other black folks wearing that shit, I always laugh at them and mutter clown under my breath. I’ve met a lot of Africans and they do not view Black Americans the same way as they view people their own tribe and country.
And dashikis look stupid.
I think the same thing but I never say anything about it. If I did it would just hurt their feelings for no good reason. But it is tempting to just say “You are an American, just like me. I am your brother, not those guys. Don’t believe it? Take a trip over there and you will find out real fast.”
So they want me to hand over my credit card numbers to employees who can’t be trusted with cash? I almost always pay cash in bars and restaurants.
Bingo.

Wow. He was a good little proggie and it did him no good. He got tossed under the bus and I guess he figures ‘fuck it’. Good for him.
Was he though? He was always sort of middle of the road.
He came across to me as being left of center when he talked politics, at least to me. Or he had at least attacked Trump pretty viciously.
I also think his #Metoo thing was bullshit. He didn’t have any actual power over any of those women. He was a creepy little beta freak. Him being considered a predator is part of feminist goal post moving.
I think he planted an Obama picture in his show.
So yeh. I think there was some ‘good little proggie’ thing going.
Listening to that set, I think he’s all ‘fuck them and this shit’ now. Which means he’s thinking.
Also. In the comments they’re saying Twitter is outraged about the set. Who besides the usual idiots with 100 followers?
The last couple days I’ve be organizing my electronic files. Right now I’m going through pictures and it hit me; the vast majority of these pictures, I haven’t EVER looked at. Does anyone else do this? Take a bunch of pictures on vacation, or out in the yard, at Christmas…whatever, and then store them in perpetuity for ever without so much as a glance?
As a history buff, it pains me to delete any of them, but honestly, who’s ever gonna care about the majority of them?
I still have October’s vacation on my phone… !
For my vacation photos I try and set a number to keep and work it down. I spent a week and a half in Washington state and took hundreds of pictures and decided I would just keep the best 50.
Have you alphabetized your porn collection yet?
I’m trying, but I can’t decide the best way to name/categorize them. For instance, like this:
Black Dildo
Double-ended Dildo
Vibrating Dildo
Or like this:
Dildo, Black
Dildo, Double-ended
Dildo; Vibrating
Dude, type then sub-type. So all the Dildo stuff is together, then the type of dildo.
Fucking idiot noobs on this site.
Behind the times. You use tagging in a database so if you are looking for Grannies doing DVDA but only want the ones with Q-Approved tits and blonde hair you can get that easily. Duh.
But how do you alias all of the folders to find what you want but not give away what’s in them to anyone else. I start with the general porn folder called ‘taxes’ but below that level it gets tedious.
The beauty of my solution is that the files can all have innocuous names that are just strings of letters and numbers and they all sit in one folder thus obviating the need for a deep and complex file structure. The DB has the tags for each file so when you want a specific menu of delights, you search for the combination of tags you want and then watch those files.
The DB just needs an innocuous name and to be password locked.
Nice:)
Do you go by first name or last name?
I can’t stop downloading porn long enough to organize the collection.
I don’t take pictures. Sometimes I wish I were a picture taker, but I’m usually too busy being where I am to take pictures.
There is certainly an advantage to that. There’s times where I had wished I left the camera at home and just enjoyed the experience. Watching Orcas off the San Juan Islands was one if those times.
I do the same. While nothing as cool as orcas off San Juan, I’ll spend time trying to get one “perfect shot” instead of just standing there and collection thousands of “perfect shots” with my eyes.
These days I wonder -other than candid pics of loved ones and personal, special occasions- if it’s worth taking any pics at all. For instance, I have tons of pics of Chicago from various business trips I’ve taken. But, so what? I can hop on the internet and in seconds find much higher quality pics of the same things.
Last time I was in Asheville, stopped at a ranger station and bought books with beautiful pictures of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Pisgah Forest. I still took some pictures but spend more time just enjoying the scenery. The book photographers did all the real work and to your point those pics were better than anything I can do.
But it’s a hobby you enjoy, right? Dave Davies is a better guitarist than me, and the Kinks are better than my band. It doesn’t mean I stop playing guitar.
Yeah, I enjoy it. But when Im on vacation in there with my other people so I cant plan everything around my shots and lighting is everything.
And with the orca watching, they don’t breach long so trying to catch pictures just mean you miss everything
When my father kept most of his photographs (except the obvious mistakes — pictures of his thumb, etc.). His rationale was even the uninteresting photographs helped provide context to other more interesting photographs.
I do the same thing. I take a lot of shots and videos and never go through them. I have terabytes of archives like that. Occasionally I’ll be organizing my archives and peruse. I really enjoy the look back in time. I just wish I wouldn’t say stupid shit while I’m filming. I’m trying to be more quiet while I’m taking video. Also, it makes me smile to think of my kids and grand kids going through all of those memories.
I think it is pretty cool to go through the old videos of the kids when they were tiny and cute. My wife will tear up watching those videos (but afterwards we almost always have some adult fun times).
We have one where the kids are all avoiding bed time and are playing “hot lava” while wearing their PJ’s. Extremely cute watching them all get along for once in their lives.

As the end of 2018 draws near, let us revisit the derp. Please feel free to include your highlights as I obviously can’t remember them all:
Kavanaugh hearings – my god, where I found myself defending a judge I don’t care for.
I’m with you. There’s been so much derp but the Kavanaugh hearings was what took the cake for me.
It’s hard to top the constant TDS. The entire left has gone insane, not just the usual suspects. I mean I never liked the man even back when the left loved him and I still don’t but have some f’g perspective ya know.
They were already well down the road to insanity. Trump just moved it along a little, he didn’t cause it.
He wasn’t the cause, he was the excuse.
Yeah, but outside of the internet in the real world I used to rarely hear that level of derp and now I do. I suppose it was inevitable that the virus would eventually spread everywhere.
The Kav debacle takes the cake, but the Fauxahauntus DNA test was pretty hilarious Derp.

Oh FFS. Shut up and go learn to change a tire, asshole.
The thing that I find interesting about such scales is what do black people who DON’T feel oppressed think of it?
