I’m saving my next Wokesters In The Mist tale for next Saturday. So nothing funny here. But holy shit, I forgot how insanely pretty autumn is in the Eastern hills. SP and I took a scenic drive out to Keuka Lake to re-provision our stock of alcoholic grape-based beverages. Unfortunately, or fortunately (depending on POV), the wineries are beset with groups of women (no sexism, I have yet to see a group of men) on a Girl’s Day Out or worse yet, bachelorette parties. They’re there to guzzle and cackle, not to get educated on the effects of slate soil on the aroma of Riesling. If I were a younger guy in search of packs of inebriated cougars. I’d be in heaven. But I’m an Old Guy who doesn’t like lines, crowds, and bumper cars-style parking lots and just wants to try the fucking wine. I only live in the hope that it will be shortly discovered that group selfies are a significant cause of cancer. Well, at least we managed to restock the cellar following the last visit of locusts and in preparation for Spud’s arrival tonight.
Birthdays today include the guy responsible for the Hindenburg disaster; a guy who was finished when the fat lady sang; the guy who inspired Olive Oyl; arguably the most interesting and influential composer in jazz history and, along with the Old Guy Music star, one of the Three Ms of Jazz; a talented musician and comedian who was just a bit… off; the greatest auteur in Hollywood history; a very sweet guy; a truly great and sadly departed singer/songwriter; someone who shockingly hasn’t been canceled; a guy who did a killer Holofernes imitation; a prime woodchipper candidate; a specialist in dick pics; and some dude who got famous for driving around in circles.
Now we can Link.
Uppity, this one is. Crush him. Damn, it’s good to see assertiveness around constitutional rights and the fear it strikes in the government.

Old Guy Music today is a bonus- three songs. Well, two, with an extended repeat. Which is OK, this is Eric Fucking Dolphy, Jaki Fucking Byard, Clifford Fucking Jordan… worth the half hour of your time. Remarkably, this is live but not a concert, it’s a rehearsal.

California will outlaw the sale of new gas-powered lawnmowers, leaf blowers and chainsaws as early as 2024 under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday.
The law requires all newly sold small-motor equipment primarily used for landscaping to be zero-emissions — essentially to be battery operated or plug-in — by that target date or as soon as the California Air Resources Board determined it is feasible. New portable gas-powered generators also must be zero-emissions by 2028, which also could be delayed at the discretion of the state agency.
Machinery with so-called small off-road engines also includes chainsaws, weed trimmers and golf carts, all of which create as much smog-causing pollution in California as light-duty passenger cars, and reducing those emissions is pivotal to improving air quality and combating climate change, proponents of the law said.
Use your mandate, Gavin. Use it as a cudgel to break the spirit of your serfs. Bend them to your will. Mold them. Teach them to be faithful servants.
So no more portable generators in a land of electric everything and rolling brownouts. As long as this world contains India and China these kinds of half-assed measures won’t make any real difference. Then again, it’s not really about climate change.
So you’re saying we should nuke India and China? Sounds like a plan, it’s for the greater good.
Them foreigners don’t have near the interest in fucking us over as do our progressive overlords.
Narrator: Battery-operated or plug-in is not “zero-emissions”.
It is when you use your zero emissions battery powered generator to power them, duh.
Sadly, this is probably the thought process in my former state.

What in the fuckity fucking fuck?
Somebody is going to have to explain this little bit of sorcery to me. Are they going to run on unicorn farts?
It doesn’t emit anything, it stores it all in a box, which has a little hose, and you inhale it to save the planet.
Basically, it is a giveaway for the Black Market. I hear they have good lobbyists.
I know it’s a cliché now, but it bears repeating. Those loons had the chance to rid themselves of this wart on their ass, and they voted yet again for their own punishment. They just bring themselves to vote for anyone with that D after their name, even it is was a rich white guy over a self-made black guy.
So, fuck ’em.
Did they, though? Insufficient fortification or at least rule-changing?
Probably part of the plan. At some point with the floods of new immigrant D voters and state-hoppers, it will be impossible to tell what’s “fortified” and what’s “gerrymandered”. They’re counting on voter fatigue so we’ll just stop caring.
Notice that California will only buy the *sale* of these things and not the *ownership* of these items.
This state’s government is none too bright.

If a Republican with Yang’s career arc were quitting the Republican Party, the MSM would be filled with encomia to such a politician.

The GOP equivalent would have an instant job with CNNBC
Maybe Yang is angling for a job at Fox.
I don’t really get what Yang believes that doesn’t seem straight up Democrat anyway.
I think he might not be into the graft – that would certainly set him apart.
I mean on the surface he acts more pragmatic but no pragmatic person leaves a party that actually gets people elected for a status that is guaranteed to fail.
I present to you, the Libertarian Party!
yup. All those 3 or 4 people voting libertarian need to be voting in the primary races for libertarian leaning Republicans.
Uh huh, where their votes will be overwhelmed by the typical Republican voter (voting for typical Republican politicians).
I only got one right today (Ed Wood), in my defense the last three ‘clues” could be damn near any politician, pervert, and redneck respectively.

Unfortunately, or fortunately (depending on POV), the wineries are beset with groups of women (no sexism, I have yet to see a group of men) on a Girl’s Day Out or worse yet, bachelorette parties.
And so much of the high-volume wineries are marketing to them with sickeningly sweet shit like Moscato.
I hate that the dryness of the moderate-priced whites tops out at Sauvignon Blanc.
We’ve been delighted at moderately priced and superb dry whites available here. Lots of unoaked Chardonnay, dry Riesling, Rkatsiteli, Gruener Veltliner… and of course, the non-vinifera Seyval, Vignoles, and Niagara.
The particular demo seems to go for oaked and maloed Chardonnay with 0.6-0.8% RS, the Kendall-Jackson/Rombauer model.
OK, Miles. ?
Most Chardonnay tastes like pencils to me.
No fucking Merlot!

So much this.

That’s them. And they were more peaceful than Antifa…
I seem to recall something about harassing drivers at one point, but I think that was a sorta shady video. Last year’s media was a bit overwhelming.

Some Democrats similarly worry that McAuliffe’s focus on covid concerns may not be enough to overcome complacency on the part of some voters who came out in record numbers last fall to defeat Trump.
Wink wink, nudge nudge.
Say no more.
If McAuliffe wins, I’m may have to liquidate and move. I am not looking forward to that prospect.
He will win.

“They see him as someone who’s not as polarizing as Trump,” Cole said, “and some of them are fatigued by the national Democrats. We try to draw them back to Virginia issues such as affordable housing and traffic.”
No

Because Dem-run areas are known for their plentiful affordable housing and lack of traffic.
Immediate thought as well. Has any Democrat ever had an idea that helped either?
What, good ideas?
Low crime, too.
Road diets will fix those traffic issues.
“He maintains he’s just the latest Black leader to pick up a gun, only to be quickly targeted by a federal government with a history of suppressing African-American groups that dare to challenge the status quo.”
You’re expected to sit down, shut up and vote D every two years. Anything beyond that is unacceptable.
And while the federal government has moved swiftly to arrest leaders of white lead militias this is different because of reasons.
There is a winery by my house that I have never been to, but often has a full parking lot. They have pig roasts. I have no idea if that is a good sign or not.

I’m the daddy, do as I say
President Biden implored his fractured party Saturday to come together and pass his multi-trillion-dollar spending bills — assuring Democrats that his pricey agenda will “win the 21st century.”
“My message is simple: we need to stay together, and bound by the values that we hold as a party,” Biden said in a three-minute pre-recorded address released Saturday at the Democratic National Committee’s fall meeting.
“Because here’s the deal: we won 2020 as a unified party,” Biden said. “And we look to 2022, as we do that, we need to stay unified.”
Biden did not name Senate holdouts Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), whose resistance has stalled his $3.5 trillion social-spending package — or Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who blasted the two in a fiery press conference this week that laid Democrats’ divisions bare.
Stop whining and behave yourselves.
It would be really funny if a reporter asked him to describe in detail what the bill contains.
Yup, the moderates need to get in line. The antisemites are totes kewl.

Seems early. Vaccine requirements don’t take effect until mid November.
Right when covid will be back at its low point and the Biden administration can take credit for it.
I like the timing. Give the rulers a chance to reconsider and back off.
But, I predict the vast majority will bend the knee and get the shot.
Yeah if I was in this position and it was a good job I wanted to keep I’m sure I would cave in about 5 seconds flat. Gotta be honest.
Why isn’t claiming weather problems when it isn’t weather fraud?
I’m guessing 80% of those currently holding out will get the shot. 1-3% of employees at most companies will hold out and get fired.
I support resisting this any and every way possible, but it galls me just a little bit deep down inside when I see objections or lawsuits based on “contract clauses” or “collective bargaining agreements” and the like. I want to see organized resistance based on the unconstitutionality, illegality, and moral sickness surrounding this thing.
yeah. Doesn’t it seem like this is ripe for a constitutional challenge?
Sure and will be promptly turned down or refer back to Jacobson as settled law.
If you want something really stomach turning on a Sunday morning, read the decision on that case. It’s muh social contract with deference.
the unconstitutionality, illegality
Ahhh, if only it were so.
I’ve said before, the Supreme Court can express all the contrition it wants over Korematsu and say it’s wrong, but they’d rule the same way again in a heartbeat under similar circumstances.
This is the rub. The decision never stated that imprisoning Americans without trial is constitutionally impermissible and a trial court should immediately release any petitioner under such circumstances sua sponte.

RE: Vaxx propaganda.
I listen to Sirius radio on my commute. Occasionally I’ll tune into Doctor Radio because they’ll have some interesting medical mystery-type shows, which I’m into. While listening a couple of days ago, they had these doctors for a call-in show answering questions. Most of it was pretty boilerplate, just noise to have in the background. Then a woman “calls in” (quotations because I can only assume that the call was planted) to basically say she had an anaphylactic reaction to the first Pfizer shot and almost died. Oh sweet, family-friendly, 35-59 female demographic-approved doctors, whatever should I do about the second shot? You see why I assume the call was planted; who the fuck is going to call into a radio program with a concern like that? Wouldn’t the ICU doctors that saved your life have an opinion?
Family-friendly radio doctors then proceed to say “Well, no one has any idea what really happened. Was it really an allergic reaction? And if it was, allergic reactions can be treated so it’s NBD. So yeah! Go get that second shot and be a good little drone!” This goes so far beyond “do no harm” it’s sickening. You’re recommending someone get a shot that stands a decent chance of killing her just to stay in line with the political agenda. G-d forbid there be even a crack of daylight in the “everyone has to get vaccinated no matter what” narrative. Natural immunity? Fuck that. Anaphylaxis? You’re just being a pussy. Preexisting immune problems that contraindicate vaccination? Better dead from the vaxx than THE PLAGUE.
/rant
They’re running an ad here in Texas right now in which they try to sell the idea that a vaccine is necessary even if you have natural immunity because “they don’t know how long natural immunity lasts”.
Actually it most likely lasts for years and we already know it lasts at least a year. Certainly longer than two vaccine shots do.

Meanwhile, as federal health officials consider vaccines for children between the ages 5 and 11, a study showed that the risk of coronavirus infection among children compared to adults appears to be similar — but kids are more likely to be asymptomatic.
Meaning those kids do not actually get sick from the deadly deadly ultracontagious virus. And this is bad news.
Terrible, awful news. We should be sad.
But they’re still killing grandmas so tie them down and stab them.

On my FreedomFest road trip, a friend of mine and I went through a bunch of wineries in Hermann, MO. We were some of the only men. Thankfully, it was a relatively quiet day. Except for one winery, there were no lines or crowds. I don’t like lines or crowds (except at Oktoberfest).
When Myers arrived, her date said he’d lost his keys and asked her to drive. He gave her directions and they ended up at a Taco Bell – in the drive-thru lane.
It gets worse.
He then ordered 100 hard-shell tacos.
Moments later, the man told his date he couldn’t find his wallet. Myers says she agreed to pay, and they returned to his house only to eat the tacos at his kitchen table in silence.
The man’s father briefly joined them before Myers decided the date was over.
Wow.
Nonetheless, the federal government’s case against Grandmaster Jay follows a longstanding pattern of clampdowns on Black Americans who arm themselves. From slave uprisings in the 1800s to the Black Panthers in the 1960s to NFAC in 2020, the game plan is always the same, said Arjun Sethi, an author and law professor at Georgetown University Law Center.
“When Black folks in America pick up weapons, a different set of rules has always applied,” Sethi said. “That was the case 100 years ago; that remains the case today.”
I tapped out here. I’m surprised I got this far.
The Virginia governor’s race article triggered a memory. Friday morning I was at the gym warming up on the treadmill. The news were on the TVs. One show was interviewing the Republican candidate for NJ governor, Jack Ciattarelli.
During the interview, the show put up poll numbers. 48% Murphy, 40% Ciattarelli. Those numbers were shocking to me.
I’ve said before, the Supreme Court can express all the contrition it wants over Korematsu and say it’s wrong, but they’d rule the same way again in a heartbeat under similar circumstances.
It would be nice if the government were obligated to provide compelling evidence of real danger, instead of a lot of arm waving and generalized appeals to fear and emotion.
The founders already factored in danger to government and the process. Arrest the person after getting a warrant, give the defendant nonexcessive bail pending trial, and give them a speedy public jury trial.
Once we allowed government to arrest people without warrants, deny bail, force plea bargains or delay trials for years the government gained immense power it didnt have.
Wow.

Scary campfire tales
“This is the revenge of the fossil fuels,” said Thierry Bros, an energy expert and professor at Sciences Po in Paris.
The situation points to a daunting new phase for the energy transition, with growing tensions among the disparate policy objectives of simultaneously reducing emissions, keeping prices low, and guaranteeing security of supply. The pace of the effort could even be at risk if soaring prices dent public support for climate policies.
It’s a dark backdrop just days ahead of the start of a United Nations summit in Glasgow, COP26, which many believe is the last opportunity to avert catastrophic climate change.
W’re all gonna die!
