Goodbye, sweet ‘Murhica.
I picture two Romans hanging out at the tavern towards the end of the Roman Empire. One says to the other, “holy shit, did you hear what just happened in Afghanistan?”. I mean yeah, we’re out of that shit hole, but damn. Maybe, just maybe, we should have gotten the Americans out before the military? Just sayin’.
And it ain’t any better here at home.
The faces of true American heroes.
Yeah, no effing shit. We’ve known about mask efficacy for decades.
Huh, and here I thought Allah would provide.
Hey! Who could have possibly seen this coming?
Alright. I’m going to go pour myself another drink. Iggy has something to say.
I even have to first my own links. Sigh…
Look, man, I was cooking dinner.
Bacon and eggs.
I’m doing Italian Sausage and eggs,
pork!
Well better you….
IKR?!?
I’m still waiting for a @#%@ air conditioner to arrive. I can barely summon the will to type in this weather.
Are you getting a night time delivery?
/not a euphemism
On the truck since 9am. Delivery by 7pm or 8pm depending on who you believe (Amazon or UPS).
Cock%#@%#@! mother$@%^@^ beep fizzle
And yet this is standard. For whatever reason they always circle my neighborhood and stop at my house last, or not at all.
Ugh. Sorry. I believe UPS.
UPS says by 7pm. Still no update.
(Yes, that was more than two hours ago.)
Hm. Supposedly it’s here. I’m half-drunk but goddamn it I’m gonna dolly that thing up here right now.
Stairs or elevator?
Either way, please be careful!
It is not here.
Now it says “signed by Post Office” and “Delivered to (my address)”.
I guessing it’s at a post office and it will take them three days to carry it around the corner to me.
I am livid right now.
?
So sorry! It’s gonna be a long weekend, ain’t it?
Maybe they left it in the lobby of your building.
Yes.
And there is no help at either site where I can ask, “Where the fuck is my package that you said was delivered to my address?”
I checked the lobby, the mail area, the interior courtyard (holy shit it’s raining buckets), the vestibule, the front sidewalk, and the entire sixth floor.
Did you drop in to see what condition your conditioner was in?
Dude! Too soon! ?
Something just went over my head, but…
I just plugged in the old one and it went immediately to “I’m busted” mode.

Yeah, yeah, whoa, yeah!
Ugh you people are old.
We went out. I had corned beef on rye at the sandwich place downtown. Now heading for the beach.
What good is sitting alone in your room? It’s time for a holiday! Come to the GlibZoom, my chum. Come to the cabaret. Floor show begins at 8:00 PM EDT, with MC Tonio filling-in for Neph.
And the next post is Tonio drawing people away from my links to one of these, “Zoom” chats. Whatever that is. I think I’m just going to have an early dinner and go sit in my recliner.
Make sure you’re wearing your adult diapers. I remember what happened to the last recliner, and your anus hasn’t gotten any stronger.
TMI Dude!
Pretty sure Spud shat himself last night. He had that “look” on his face.
Like that guy on CNN?
I turned on the TV this morning. It was set on Fox News. In the middle of their morning show some blonde hottie, I dont know her name, suddenly got a look on her face and started squirming around then lifted slightly off of the couch. A few seconds later the male host, never breaking character, got a look on his face.

False alarm.
You’re stuck with me, those Zoom things just get me in trouble
I am married and my computer is in our living room where Mrs. Suthenboy watches TV. Also, I am usually asleep by 7 or so. If not for that I. would probably be notorious on the zoom thingy.
Why do they get you in trouble? You dont pull a Toobin do you?
Im always tempted to go on the zoom so i can put faces to all the names but im socially retarded. Probably dhit in my recliner gor real.

the chosen will continue to wear them. The powers have done their work well.

And it worked so well that they will keep expanding it into other areas.
If only security blankets provided security.
Too bad I’ve got oppositional defiance disorder.
The “chosen” are self chosen. To be honest from what I have seen personally it is a bit frightening. The people who desire to be in charge of others at the moment have no business being in charge of anything.
This is why we should press people into public service. The people that seek those jobs should be wearing orange cover-alls and picking up trash on the side of roads.
Picking up trash? I’m think digging the drainage ditches while they’re there.

“Henri will hit New York as Category 1 hurricane with gusts up to 100mph: Cuomo warns it will be as dangerous as Superstorm Sandy, declares state of emergency and tells people in flood zones to ‘get out NOW'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9914683/Henri-upgraded-HURRICANE-storms-New-York-Connecticut-packing-winds-70mph.html
Yikes!
Why would a Category 1 be as dangerous as Sandy? Am i missing something?
I keep hearing “Climate change! This has never happened before!” just like I heard when Sandy hit a few years ago.
Uh huh. https://2010-2014.commerce.gov/sites/default/files/images/2012/august/noaa-hurricane-tracker.jpg
Sandy was actually extra-tropical by the time it caused all that damage because it combined with another storm coming from the west. The combined storm also dumped a ton of snow on West Virginia, if memory serves.
Sandy was not a Category 1, that’s why they called it “SUPERSTORM!”
This will be more dangerous than Sandy by the current forecast, which I guess is over Long Island because the forecast over NYC where Sandy hit is much less severe.
You don’t have spell check?
It’s ‘Sooperstorm’. I think you have to wave your arms round when you say that.
Yeah; this morning the highest wind speeds here were projected to be 30 MPH, but the most recent hour-by-hour forecast I looked at is down to about 15. I just hope we don’t lose power (amazingly, we didn’t during ZOMG SANDY).
30 MPH? i just finished golfing in that, where’s the Real wind?
Eastern Long Island is calling for 70MPH gusts. I dunno if that’s hurricane territory.
Ted’s is away from the coast; he doesn’t count.
Maybe a few celebrities in the Hamptons will be swept out to sea.
Yeah, and the track of the storm has been forecast further east than it was this morning.
Im in East Moriches which is in its path ill let you guys know if this things all its cracked up to be.
Ah, TWA Flight 800.

The guy who took that original Iwo Jima photo was in a club with me about 30 years ago. He liked sitting in the steam room, that’s where I would usually see him. As you might imagine, everyone would say “that’s the guy!” after he’d leave the room. It was kind of cool just to have met him in such a way, I know I think of the little old wrinkled guy steaming in a towel whenever I see that photo or the statue based on it.

I mentioned this to Mrs. Suthenboy. She laughed and said if you want to know about lying study dogs.
I may have told this story before but she and I were recently dying for some egg rolls. She spent an hour or so working diligently to make the most beautiful egg rolls in the history of the world. Just as she was finished frying them we heard a ‘ding’. Ah, the laundry was finished so she asked me to help her fold bedsheets. How long does that take? 3 minutes? 5 minutes.
When we finished and went back into the kitchen the plate that she had put the dozen finished egg rolls on was empty and on the floor. Nothing.
I quickly poked my head around the corner to glare at our dogs. Suddenly they all found something very interesting on the ceiling to stare at. Not one of them would make eye contact.

And yet I’ll bet if Maxine Waters calls him a “house __” using that exact same word this AP author won’t be the slightest bit outraged. Principals not Principles, yet again.
Since Elder isn’t black-black, i guess using the N word would be problematic.
Only real black people can say that word.
Well, the LA Times did have an article yesterday on how Elder is a black white supremacist. He also has supposedly used the devil’s lettuce, it is yet to be revealed if he listens to jazz as well.

Newsom must be worried.
Newsom is very worried. He’s taken to cussing and bitching during interviews, still in the Batman voice, but way more agitated. He also thinks he’s warning the rest of America that recalling him will make it harder to import CA politics around the whole country. I don’t think he knows that CA politics are generally unpopular everywhere, including here.
In fairness, hubris, arrogance, and ignorance have gotten him this far.

They did background checks…that is why they distributed them. See Hillary and ISIS.
If they are suffering an ammo shortage, there is now a lot of extra Russian ammo available now.

Thanks, everyone.
I am sorry about the horrible news.
Oh, I am so sorry.
You have my sincere sympathy. One of my small circle of friends from HS came to a violent end a few years back. He lived close by, but we hadn’t stayed in touch other than reunions and one time when I visited him in the hospital. I’ve often felt guilty that I didn’t make more of an effort to keep in contact…as if it would have made any difference.
::virtual hug::
(And if you don’t mind my saying so here – I like your new avatar.)
Wife and I can’t sit around and see pictures of these poor kids. We want to host one if that’s possible. Does anyone know any avenues to do this? I’ve got some of my own contacts who say it’s too chaotic right now and they’re just trying to keep their heads above water, but if anyone knows a way, I’m all ears.
Which children?
Uh…the ones in the links…
Oh. I wish I had some info for you. I think things are up in the air right now.
I raised three children that were not mine…two girls, one boy. I appreciate your sentiment and intentions. If I get any info I will post it.
Thanks Suthen, much appreciated.
My wife and I took the easy way and adopted a black kid from the hood. We did it through the county and it was fairly easy as far as requirements go. There was a six month class and a livescan, home inspections and reinspections after given a list to correct. Once the kid got here, they mostly left us alone. We did have about two years before it became final and the judge signed the papers, but it was a pretty good bet from the beginning. If you accept black and brown kids, they give you one really quickly. There was an asian couple in the class who were considering restricting themselves to asian babies. I told them they might as well go home. They might have never adopted one out there. Anyway, good on you and I hope you get to help. It’ll help you at least as much as the kid.
Bless y’all adopters. I can’t imagine raising a kid even if it was mine (!).
Like I said, helped me as much as him. Would have done it at a younger age, if I’d have known how tiring it is in your 50s, though.
BTW, I texted you back. I’m going to be up there Monday morning. If you want to meet up, LMK. Otherwise, I can pull off a few hours if you come down a little closer tomorrow. Maybe half way like Canyon Country or something?
If you don’t mind my asking, what color are you & your wife? Tom T and his previous wife adopted a biracial boy 30-some years ago in St. Louis with no trouble – from Catholic Social Services, whence Tom T and all his siblings of various colors had been adopted. After they moved to Dayton, they were all set to adopt another, but the African American social worker didn’t want to give a couple of whiteys a Kid of Color…so my stepson remained an only.
That last part is infuriating. As though the kid is better off spending more time in foster care.
We’re both white. I had about three black people express that anti-white people raising black kids sentiment, but they were the minority (double entendre?) Most people are totally cool about it. The county is just glad to find a home for these kids that isn’t a scam by some crackheads.

Maybe start here? Bless you and your family.
Thanks Gustave, I’ll take a look.
Good luck. The ones I came across seem to be looking for money and advocacy for illegal aliens. The successful substitution of immigrant or refugee for illegal aliens has coopted the legitimate function of refugee assistance into social services for illegals.
Thanks. We probably won’t even make it past the interview stage if that ends up being the case. We can still try but if their shitty politics gets in the way of helping out these kids then they’ll lose a pair of enthusiastic volunteers.
I don’t know about the refugees, but the county was more worried about it working out than we were. They really want normal homes for the kids and there’s shady grifters trying to weasel the system all the time. If you can find where these kids end up, it probably won’t be hard to adopt one, if my experience is any measure.
For a little bit of background…
When I was in Afghanistan, I had a very surreal moment. We were driving out to one of the surrounding villages to conduct a key leader engagement. The MRAP stopped and the ramp went down. As I stood up to get out, at the end of the ramp was a little girl in a vivid yellow dress with black polka dots. Behind her was a whole group of children dressed in all sorts of colorful clothing just playing whatever game Afghan children play. It was a crazy contrast to the drab dirt buildings and mud all around. She didn’t want anything, like they usually do. She just stared at me, wide-eyed. The juxtaposition between my space age and uniforms and her stone age dress struck me hard.
Now I see little babies and children, possibly separated from their parents, being evacuated because of the utter incompetence of our government. I feel some small measure of responsibility, even if it’s just because I’m American. I think about that little girl in her yellow dress. I think about my baby girl and how it would utterly destroy me to have to do what those parents did, hoping to save their children from a life of hell.
So, if there’s some way I can help care for even one of those little children being hoisted over that barbed wire fence then, God willing, I’m going to fucking do it. I’m so fucking tired of the endless hate and nobody giving a shit about each other. So if any of you know some way to make that happen, please let me know.
If I weren’t such a lazy-ass I would submitted an article on that very subject. Within the last year we have had to pay for two funerals and a new car, blah blah blah. No excuse. I will get my ass in gear soon.
You’re a good and sane man, Mustang. I hate to see kids suffer, it’s just not their fault that there exists so many assholes in the world.
Right on Mustang, there are plenty of kids out there that could use a good home. I wish you the best of luck trying to navigate the bureaucracy.
Look up mother from OKC as seen in Daily Mail and elsewhere. Can’t find in history or would supply link.

That was better than a buddy cop movie.
From the mask article: “In light of these findings study authors recommend that everyone wear a N95 or KN95 mask if possible whenever indoors in the company of others.”
How long is it going to be until the mask mandates change to making everyone wear one of those? I fucking hate masks
LOL people are going to wear those all day, every day? What a fucking joke.
Until further research reveals that only N100 masks are acceptable.
Also to be ignored, not stuffing people into sardine can rooms with little ventilation or filtration.
If you had told me a year and a half ago people are going to start wearing masks around all the time, including when they are driving by themselves and walking down the street alone I would’ve laughed. Here we are back at 75% of people wearing them outdoors. My policy since the beginning of May is that when I go into peoples’ houses I will not wear one unless they specifically ask me to, if they are wearing one I will ignore it until I am asked to put one on. I’m in at least 3-4 residences a day for work. So far only two people have made that request. One gave me a KN95 to wear. Jesus that was fucking torture as I had to lug tools up a couple flights of stairs and work on a door in the upper level of the house. I was pretty fucking irate by the end of that job. Doing strenuous work in those things sucks donkey balls.
It’s weird that the 30 year old and younger demographic is the most likely to be wearing masks.
I could be wrong, but I think it’s because they don’t believe in anything—not God or Truth or Justice or Freedom or Legacy..
So they are utterly demoralized and can’t bear the thought of dying. They can’t function in a society in which their life has no higher purpose.
Yup, I have noticed that as well. It’s baffling to me as I am a contrary sort of fellow and that contrariness was even more prevalent in my youth. My cohorts at that age also would not have been amenable to obeying authority either. I don’t know what it exactly is, probably a combination of what you mentioned plus the worship of experts. I just hope the generation after them rebels against their conformist says.
One thing I have noticed about my cohort (I’m 50) is that we were all anti-authoritarian when young, but most have become rabid statists in this century.
They’ve been coddled their whole lives. Most of them were still being driven around my mom and day into their late twenties. Any risk is too great for them. Hell, they fall to piece when they hear mean things. Even a million to one chance of dying of covid and they’ll do what ever the surrogate parents tell them. They already have lots of eperience hiding in basements, anyway.
They’ve been subject to way more lefty propaganda than those of us around 40+. Someone mentioned “postmodernism” earlier today. That’s spot-on, really.
They believe in SCIENCE™!!!
So we are using the members of the 6000+ military there to pose for photo ops with babies? A random one or two showing them in action is believable. A bunch of them sitting around all holding babies is suspect.
What do you expect them to do, go out and rescue people? Well, no doubt they would… except they aren’t allowed to.
I approve of tonight’s picture
I’m back on my Magnum PI kick. A year ago Prime had every episode for free and I worked my way slowly through seasons 1-3. Just as I was about to start season 4 they pulled the plug on the free and made you buy the episodes or seasons so my cheap ass balked on that. Last night I broke down and paid them 15 bucks for season 4. I have to say it is one of the best shows ever on television. They are one hour episodes and not every one hits the mark, but some are excellent. Home from the Sea starts season 4 and is a classic. Magnum gets tossed off his surf ski way off the coast by a reckless boater and ends up in the Molokai current drifting out to sea. He spends 24 hours treading water and remembering episodes in his life, especially with his dad who died in the Korean War. One of the really cool things about the show is the way that Vietnam vets were portrayed. It was much more common to present them in popular media as damaged by war and not able to integrate back into society. I think Magnum PI was one of the first to go totally against this and show vets from that war in a much more human light. They may have had terrible war experiences that still haunt them, but that don’t completely define them as people. Something I didn’t pick up as a kid watching the show, but now it stands out.
“There is no question it is beneficial to wear any face covering, both for protection in close proximity and at a distance in a room,” says study leader Serhiy Yarusevych, a professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, in a university release.
Fuck off.
There is no question.
Um, I have a question…
My question would be something along the lines of “how do explain all the studies that show no such thing?”
Yeah I have another question…why at a distance? I am really confused.
To gaslight you even harder, duh.
Someone linked upthread is pushing universal N95s, at all times. It’s ridiculous theater, just testing us to see how far they can push us.
No question = I don’t believe you.
In light of these findings study authors recommend that everyone wear a N95 or KN95 mask if possible whenever indoors in the company of others.
“A lot of this may seem like common sense,” Prof. Yarusevych comments. “There is a reason, for instance, that medical practitioners wear N95 masks – they work much better. The novelty here is that we have provided solid numbers and rigorous analysis to support that assumption.”
It may seem like common sense because you are a superstitious idiot.
Put your mask on, and I’ll get the bear spray.

So they are utterly demoralized and can’t bear the thought of dying. They can’t function in a society in which their life has no higher purpose.
I think it’s because they have had even the slightest inclination toward independent thought ground out of them by the “education” system.
“Question Authority? Are you nuts?”
Mostly. I think we’re seeing the first generations educated that just about any amount of sloppy nonsense gets okayed as long as it supports the favored conclusion. No amount of reasoning is too muddled, no argument is too poorly constructed, as long as it’s telling the teacher what they want to hear. And that’s now called education. And the kids have, unfortunately, learned. Right isn’t properly analyzing a problem or forming a structured, coherent argument or having an understanding that comports with external reality. It’s being on the side of the person who can hand them out a gold star. Or a social media like. So, for them, science is whatever Dr. Fauci says it is.
Makes sense – they can’t think or reason through an issue by evaluating different facts or opinions, so they just parrot the opinion of whatever “expert” is favored by their social group.
Social Media exasperates this behavior.

You know….point given…sips beer
*sips beer, sips whiskey*
Sips Natty, agrees….
If it did then lady-werewolves would always be in heat. And since I’m unaware of “Lady Werewolves in Heat” as a porn genre, it must no be so.
More please.

How are Intersex people “border” and women “oppressed”?
I’m dyin’ here. 99% humidity. Must… escape… to bedroom with AC….
Dude. That’s awful. Sorry you’re dealing with that.
Zoom, dude
Thanks for the invite but I’m with both daughters tonight. Oldest goes back to college later this week.
It’s not so bad as I bitch.
I am fortunate to have some relief steps away.
Cancel culture is taking some weird turns. Patagonia is punishing a resort for hosting a group Patagonia doesn’t like. I guess I’ll get mad at Patagonia for encouraging people to trample nature.

No soup for you!
Umm… isn’t that why we all have to wear masks again?
And they’ve courageously checked all the leftist boxes.
Why do they hate us??
When you make very expensive clothes manufactured out of petroleum by products for outdoor activities like skiing, that use large amounts of fossil fuels, it creates a bit of cognitive dissonance. So much of the environmental movement is based on a guilt religion and payoffs to grifters that make Jim Baker look like the piker he was.
Patagonia is a bunch of virus signaling assholes.
Virtue, same difference, still works
Spud!
Thanks for sharing the Iggy.
And all the ridiculous lynx. We are rapidly approaching peak derp.
I have, however, found a promising beer:
Not bad. I’d like to meet Leslie,
zoom
Is this what you’re trying to tell us?
Heh exactly what I expected.
how do I do that?
The Belt is a wierd place,
Tonio! lemme in!
Me too!!
I think everyone left
Darn. Too many time zones!
not true
Ok I’m a Luddite. Where is the zoom link?

A follow up on the California gubernatorial Mail-in ballot thingy.
Someone linked a vid in which a woman claimed that the holes in the ballot return envelope lined up with the “YES” oval that would indicate that the voter did vote to recall (fire) Newsom.
I filled out my ballot today and the hole in the envelope was a few inches away from the “yes” or “no” oval. Not even close.
My envelope had a return address to San Diego election place, so maybe other counties were different, but it didn’t seem to be the vast left wing conspiracy that was claimed earlier.
However I do think it’s bad that when you register to vote in CA, you have to pick a party affiliation.
WTF? So I registered Republican, but doesn’t that mean they could just throw away all my future ballots??
In Minnesota, you don’t have to put a party affiliation. But if there are party primary elections, for that season you can choose only one party’s primary. Made sense and was easy.
I am registered as independent here. I was with big L for a while but had to end that after the GayJo run. If you want to vote in the party primary you do need to register as that party.
Heh, me too. Thanks for making it easy for me, Motor Voter law!
Rs have closed primaries; Ds open (CA anyway).
Good luck with that,
Good to meet MikeS finally. Zoom still on?
zoom , ok
Zoom is a joke , disguised as a websitego have fun!
Off to San Diego for another inspection. At least mil orders gets me TSA precheck – pretty painless other than coof theater. Let’s hope no delays in Charlotte.
suh’ fam
yo whats goody
(I hope yesterdays little Ohio Glib Pizza Party fared well, despite my absence. Someone let Rufus know I work.)
Good morning, homey (and LCDR_Fish, if you’re still communicado. Safe travels!)
The Miami Valley GlibPizzaFest was indeed delightful, but we did miss you! Between Mr. Ilium and Mr. T, there was no lack for conversation (likewise Mr. Nomad held his own.) Best of all – to me anyway – Spinoza’s had their full in-house-made ice cream menu!!!

So she explains it all? ?
Mornin’. ☕?
Good mornin’, Sean! Tall Mugs! ::sips iced (not literally, but cold) mocha light latte::
Bless her heart.
Mornin’, Sams.
Good mornin’, TO’G!
Bom dia, Red.
Spinoza menu looks good. Am I the only one who looks at web sites of restos I might well never visit?
Come to Dayton! We’ll show you a great time!
The only thing that bothered me was that their stage was gone. They used to feature wonderful live music! Friends of ours who play full-time for a living had their wedding reception there. But no live music there no more. ?
(I don’t think they have their ice cream menu online. I forget the funky name, but mine was coffee with chunks of chocolate!)
Go fuck yourself.

So what, if anything, does a white coat have to do with hearing loss? The ability to hear is made possible by a special layer of cells within the inner ear. This specialized layer of cells, and the cells that determine a dog’s hair color, come from the same stem cell source. Without this stem cell, the dog’s body won’t be able to make this specialized layer of hearing cells and will likely be white in coloration. “
