Oh joy, I get to work today, feeding the masses. Well, for certain values of “masses”; the students are all on break and have mostly gone home, the townies are gathered with their families spreading whatever is the latest Greek letter virus. WebDom and I will hold down the fort, with SP on her laptop in the next room yelling, “DID YOU SEE WHAT WE SPENT ON RED PEPPERS LAST MONTH???????” The food delivery guys didn’t show up, so all we have is a few loaves and fishes. I hope they hold out…. It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.
But (((we))) at least have to acknowledge birthdays, which today include a guy with some gravity; the star of Naughty Nurses: The Original, whose career arc was typical of “non-profit” leaders, and had a country estate almost next door to us; a woman who was made up; the progenitor of many generations of shitty cars; an actor who was typecast and did great with it; another guy I’d be happy to do some lines with; a guy who did great and was rewarded for it as expected; a short guy with an outsized impact; a quarterback who was always amazing fun to watch; a Team Red piece of shit who still plagues us; a contender for the best all-around baseball player since Ruth; and a bearded Zoolander, who got his father’s ethics and his mother’s intellect.
Speaking of which, Links:

I admit I’ve been on a bit of a Buddy Rich kick recently, and while I was originally going to use something from Mel Torme for Old Guy Music, I stumbled across this gem. As I was watching it, I went, “Wait, Lew Tabackin was in that band???” And he shreds it, as does Conte Candoli. Rich was… himself.
Hat and Hair re-run: 2020 Christmas Special
Morning OMWC. Would it be out of line to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas? Tough break.
Lotsa links but I admire the lady with the pickaxe, she has the experience and equipment for a new career, just needs a different fashion designer.
How sciency!
So much this. I’m unaware of any disease that affects people in a certain class of job differently than the rest of the population.
Good morning, Old Man!
I’m sorry that (((you))) apparently will be unable to observe the holiday in the time-honored tradition of (((your people))) by going to the movies. (Then again, is there anything out there worth paying to see?)
Thank you for gifting us with interesting, fun, and/or enraging links and the finest music every weekend! Looking forward to many more Tales from the Woke Front in the new year!
I thought the (((tradition))) was to eat Chinese
foodbabies?Fa ra ra ra ra!
Yes, it’s a beautiful duck. But, you see, it’s smiling at me.
It is.
I’m not Jewish but I won’t be spending my day with the family this Christmas so yesterday I gave the closest Chinese restaurant a trial run for today’s dinner…it was just terrible. Imagine if you will the poorest quality commercial grade meat and veggies allowed by law drowned in bland Oyster sauce delivered by a face diaper wearing white girl so morbidly obese that it took her three minutes to climb ten steps.
I’ll just stick with whatever Continental Fair I have laying about the kitchen, thank you very much.
We did it once for Xmas.
It might be a better option around here – the food was excellent. Northeast NJ really knows how to do a Chinese buffet.
There’s movies here?
Actually, we have a projector and screen upstairs, so I may run a holiday-appropriate movie. Anal Nurses 7 might be just the ticket.
Well, apparently Clara Barton would approve so go for it.
And dangnabbit — apparently I screwed up the (((code))). No insult intended in comment 6.
Speaking of movies, I FINALLY got to see at least the last hour or so of Die Hard! ? Sadly, I apparently missed The Big Line. Maybe some other channel will be showing it tonight and we can catch it on the DVR. I might have caught some more of it, but it was so warm here in SW OH we went out in the back yard and sat by a fire in our new-this-past-year fire pit. Yay global warming!
The movie is somewhere *gestures in direction of DVD collection* over there.
Didn’t stick around for Die Hard 2. Do you know whether any of the sequels are worth watching?
Die Hard 3 is worth watching for the bombing of the Wall St. subway station that takes place early in the film. After this, watch something else.
Better binge watch was Lethal Weapon on IFC last night.
Gee, what did that subway station ever do to you? ?
The MTA is just brutal.
Lethal Weapon 6 is the best one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37hd-NWQGpE
2 is 1 again at an airport (good for certain value of good) With a Vengeance (3) is good. The rest are unwatchable/
Of course, you miss some things if you watch 3 on TV.
But if you watch the home video version, you miss the so bad its funny ADR of “Yippe Kay-yay, Mister Falcon“
I have to disagree with Patzie, I like the first three Die Hards.

Not a fan of censorship — but aren’t those attorney docs for Project Veritas the result of the FBI raids about the Biden diary which the FBI then handed to the NYT about their lawsuit between them and Project Veritas? Have to say telling them to hand everything back, salting the earth beneath the FBI and smiting the NYT if they asked for them comes more to mind. But not my circus.
On the note of censorship, sure would be nice if someone could afford to open a free speech site and hold to that. Of course, I remember when the tech companies were more full of people that thought spying on their users, subscription models, etc. were anathema. Bloody depressing.
I would have said the short guy was always playing the zone, but that’s me.
And now we have to ask: Just how much DID y’all spend on red peppers last month, and why is that apparently a crucial part of the menu? 😉
I’m guessing they don’t serve red peppers at all
SP would know, seriously. I prep them every morning and report weight and count. They’re not cheap. The canned roasted ones are even spendier, and I got some shit for using them in one of our sauces. But they’re sooooo tasty.
I picked up some piquillos for house use this week after Spud gets here. He and I do a tapas dish with them lightly sautéed with garlic and finished with sherry.
I made Beef Wellington for the company holiday party. Three of them.
They’ve already informed me that I’m obligated to make it again next year. Yay?
That’s about 200$ worth of food and labor. I’m sure the persons who bought the Fritos, pigs in the blanket, and hickory farms cheese and sausage were happy.
Now I’m always going to visualize you as Bobby Flay — guy uses piquillos in EVERYTHING it seems.
I’m guessing it’s a good thing you aren’t within knife range of OMWC right about now.

Morning.
I was under the impression that the Project Veritas papers were ones that the prosecutors illegally obtained in a fishing expedition and gave to the Times and other media outlets in an attempt to intimidate Project Veritas.
I’m trying to wrap my head around what’s going on, but I’m not certain how attorney-client communication isn’t protected unless it’s prima facie evidence of a crime. If what they did is what you described, it would be a hell of a way for the government to screw with anyone.
But I’m not totally up to speed.
Analogies keep being made to The Pentagon Papers. I think it’s a good analogy.
Well the Times would say that, wouldn’t they?
Horseshit. This is a coordinated smear campaign between the DNC, DoJ and NYT. Fuck them with a rusty chainsaw.
Yeah nah. Explicitly acting as an arm of the government negates a lot of freedoms.
This is 180 degrees out of phase with that situation. In that case, a citizen stole “government property.” In this one, the government stole a private citizen’s property. It’s more closely analogous to Hogan v. Gawker.
Exactly. The government acted as the conduit for illegally obtained, private information covered by the attorney-client privilege. This is a battle between the First Amendment and Sixth Amendment.
I would say simply that the hatred of most media companies to an outside and conservative group such as PV makes almost all reporting on this subject questionable.
‘a contender for the best all-around baseball player since Ruth’
I’ll grant you that he was easily the best leadoff hitter in the history of the sport and during his peak in the late 80’s-early 90’s he was arguably the best overall ballplayer but the best since Ruth was Willie Mays and it’s not even close.
Merry Christmas. Bless you and your family and to the rest of you Glibs: I love you all, even the few I don’t care for. 😉
“ I love you all, even the few I don’t care for. ?”
Merry Christmas to you too, asshole.
That’s the Glibs we know and love….

*smooches, hits Christmas Morning Bowl*
TH, did you see my forum topic @ you?
I did not, sorry. I’ll try to check it out now.
The case for RH was that if he got on, which was often (he had a great eye, holds the record for unintentional walks), he completely upset the defense. You either let him stretch the walk into a double or triple, or you took your focus off getting the next hitter out and risked errors. People forget that he was a Gold Glove outfielder and as a hitter had excellent power (nearly 300 HRs, ).
I admit to an AL bias, having rarely seen Mays but seeing RH constantly.
I of course have rarely seen Mays as well. I was a bit of a baseball geek in my mid to late teens and ate up a lot of baseball history after seeing the Ken Burns Baseball documentary. Between everything I’ve read about, seen footage of, anecdotal stories given and the recorded statistics it’s hard for me to imagine a better overall player.
He’s Ken Griffey with better base running skills and far fewer injuries.
…Speaking of Mays, his godson would have been a legitimate contender if not for all of his career after 1998 being dubious at best.
‘…if he got on, which was often (he had a great eye, holds the record for unintentional walks), he completely upset the defense. You either let him stretch the walk into a double or triple, or you took your focus off getting the next hitter out and risked errors.’
I’m obviously completely biased in my opinion here but aside from the walks part you just described why I loved the 2014-2015 Royals. Sure, they hacked away and had a mediocre OBP as a team but they specialized in hitting high speed fastballs early in the count and once they got on most of the lineup had the ability to turn a walk or a single into extra bases. Slap singles and constant pressure on the defense via base running was a joy to watch from an AL team. Add in a bullpen that almost guaranteed victory when they had a lead after six innings and the pressure broke most teams. The Astros shitting themselves during the 2015 postseason when they were six or seven outs away(I think) from advancing to the ALCS was a classic example.
Merry Christmas Trigger Hippie. May the next year be better then the last.
The same to you, my friend.
Merry Christmas, Glibules.
Merry Christmas, Pottersville!

I’m having some of that high dollar NYC Zabar’s coffee this morning.
Pretty good, actually. I guess NYC ain’t totally crap.
Ooo, that sounds good.
I must admit that it is.
I really don’t like what Starbucks has done to the coffee market. Everything tastes like burnt tires.
Peaberry anything is always a good bet IME.
The origin and roasting are the real key. My personal favorite origin coffee is the Indonesia Sulawesi (previously known as Celebes Kalossi), Sumatran, and the Monsooned Malabar.
LOL, this morning’s brew is 1/2 tanzania peaberry (what was left from a pound) and 1/2 Sumatra Mandheling. Very nice.
My dear friend sent me some coffee that was served at the breakfast place we used to go to (made by Andersens in Austin).
It’s excellent, and gets the nostalgia buff that is synergistic with the holiday
The emergency department at the Rutland Regional Medical Center has been overwhelmed with asymptomatic folks.
For two years they have been told infection = death.
What did you expect?
If you don’t have symptoms, why would you go to the ER?
Because they must cleanse themselves of the sin.
Afraid they’ll develop symptoms I suppose.
If you don’t have symptoms, why would you
go to the ERget a fucking test?Hey assholes, while you were busy asserting the moral high ground for getting jabbed did it ever occur to you that there may be actual, no-shit, sick people who need medical attention?
I’m getting tested as a requirement of employment. So, I’m not going to give the side-eye to anyone being tested without symptoms.
Yeah, forgot about that. I wonder what the breakdown of voluntary/involuntary testing is?
I got tested last week, just because it had been over a year and the new variant is really taking off here in FL. Came back “NOT DETECTED”. Two of my admins got boosters recently and both said they were knackered for nearly two days. That made me decide to just take my chances.
Good luck. So far, I have been knackered for 3 days with something, waiting on test results. Woke up with no fever today, things are looking up. Mind you, I am a 68-year old smoker with mild COPD and sleep apnea so probably in a “high-risk” group.
Why come you people react like this virus is going to kill you? Where did this overreaction come from? Who could of predicted this consequence?
Never mind, I here Omicron will make your kids vote for Trump and buy Ford F-150s if they get infected. Mask up and isolate them until the election is over.
If anyone in Vermont reads this they will believe it.
I want to know how widespread this is and is it behind the further tightening of the screws from authoritarians like Guv Kathy?
Merry Christmas to all,
evenespecially to (((you))) for providing links to peruse by the yuletide fire.The New York Times. Speaking truth to power. Tenaciously burrowing after Truth, no matter where it leads.
I almost wish I could bring myself to care enough to read that whole article.
“Just like the Pentagon Papers.” Sure.
The Times has reported on matters supposedly under court seal. I was wondering if the judge would take note of that, and apparently has. Good. Only better thing would be sanctions on the US Atty for leaking it.
The wife is taking pleasure in a morning walk with the dog just to stymy the kids who are desperate to open presents.
The girlfriend is yelling at me to open the present she got me. I told her I would wait until we get home from visiting family. She was almost vibrating with frustration and excitement.
Almost there…
There’s a vibrator joke in there somewhere….
Almost…

Unfortunately, we had an inch of snow yesterday, and some freezing rain this morning that make taking the dog out in the woods a non-starter.
Never mind that I gave the dog a new rawhide bone for Christmas, and he’s guarding it with his life.
“A reduction of isolation from 10 days to 5 days is sensible guidance and in alignment with the recent CDC guidance for health workers,” Bassett said.
On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new national guidance allowing workers with COVID-19 to return to work after 7 days of quarantine, with a new negative test.
“[T]hat isolation time can be cut further if there are staffing shortages,” the CDC said in a statement.

A gift- youtube served this up to me the other day. This guy rides an “adventure bike” like a trials bike.
Amazing
My brother had a BETA trials bike for a while, it was fun to mess around with, but serious trialing is some crazy shit.
Wow, that guy is really good. Those bikes are heavy and not made for that kind of shit.
It reminded me of Evil Doing jumps with a HD 750.
Following up yet again on yesterday’s discussion of buying better quality to save money in the long run: our everyday nonstick frying pan – 12″ diameter, 3″ deep – is losing its nonstick surface. It feels as if we’re replacing this type of pan every few years. This one’s a T-fal, and I think we’ve bought the same or similar from Sam’s a couple of times before. Is there a better quality brand of this size & style of pan that keeps its nonstick surface significantly longer? And no, we never use metal utensils with it, and only wash it with a sponge – no scrubbers.
If it’s one of those ceramic jobs, eventually microscopic burnt food particles attach to the surface and it’s no longer non stick. I don’t know if any of them hold up indefinitely.
For this reason, browning food in them is a bad idea.
Properly seasoned cast iron is pretty much non-stick.
?
Probably the only permanent non stick option
⬆
https://worldofpans.com/cast-iron-pans-vs-non-stick-pans/
Enough weasel words in that claim for you to go “That wasn’t
real socialismproperly seasoned“Hell I didn’t even throw in durable. I bet you cook on electric, don’t you?
It’s not physically possible to cook on electric.
I just don’t like cast iron, it always seems more trouble than its worth.
I religiously avoid buying/using anything that requires more maintenance than my car.
I won’t even buy clothing that needs to be ironed.
Cast iron maintenance:
Save bacon grease.
After scrubbing/rinsing (no soap) your pan, apply a light coat of bacon grease.
Optional: reward pan.
Wipe out excess grease.
What is an appropriate reward for a pan? Would a simple “Good pan!” suffice?
Baking cornbread.
It’s a reward for everyone.
Take it for a walk. I mean the hole through the handle is really there for a leash.
*sigh*
Rewarm.
It takes work to take care of the season, but I can fry eggs in my cast iron without an issue. I highly recommend picking up a chain mail scrubbie to clean them.
I am with UnCiv, things are a huge pain in the tucas and, frankly, disgusting.
Trigger warning: I am not a cook /Milhouse
We have had good results with Circulon, get about 8-10 years out of them.
We’ve gotten used to buying cheap on that particular object. I refuse to use cast iron and even the expensive ones we’ve had (wedding present) didn’t last.
So again my theme is “it may be expensive, but it’s cheap crap like the cheap stuff.”
Calphalon’s Commercial line has a lifetime warranty on their coating.
Looking online for it, and per DDG, it only seems to be available on eBay. What’s up with that? Has Calphalon gone out of business or discontinued that line?
No idea. I bought mine back in the 20th C. I have been thinking about sending in an omelet pan so I guess I should look into it.
Acquired by Newell:

The Teflon-type nonstick are ultimately disposable. Misen (https://misen.com) has ones that are supposed to last 3 times longer, but I don’t know that it’s worth the price.
Cast iron take work to maintain and are heavy, especially the larger sizes. I used to use cast iron but switched to stainless steel for everything but eggs. I’m thinking about switching to carbon steel for that as a permanent option. Supposedly carbon steel is half the weight of cast iron and much easier to keep seasoned.
I have no idea what the orphans are using to cook my meals. We strive to achieve Downton Abbey ambiance here in the manor house.

We ended up at the emergency last night after the missus slipped down in a free fall three steps gashing her chin carrying gifts pulling a Mr. Magoo. Some bruises on her knees and elbows and a few stitches but other than that….all good. Thankfully it was *only* three hours at the emergency. Of course, I couldn’t wait with her because passports – what an advance society we live in. Advanced for remedial retards, amirite?
The doctor kept asking if she was vaccinated and when she told him no he gave a stern ‘Why not?’ She, being a tactful Spockette, explained (and embellished) health conditions that didn’t permit it. He accepted that.
Like we give a shit. I would have told him it was none of his fucking business and even asked: Dude, have you not seen, I don’t know, the latest data and how the *cases* are sooting up further drowning people in their deranged panicked despair of delusions? Yeeaaaah. the *vaccines* work precisely as prescribed in the insert pack!

The 2022 midterm elections are less than a year away, but questions are already being raised about what the Democratic ticket will look like in 2024.
The White House has repeatedly said that President Biden intends to run again in 2024, but political watchers point to the fact that Biden would be 82 years old at the start of a second term. He was already the oldest individual to be inaugurated when he was sworn in in January.
On top of that, Biden is facing a stalled agenda on Capitol Hill, declining approval ratings and a continuing pandemic.
Here are 10 Democrats who could run if Biden doesn’t in 2024

Perhaps Brandon would have done well to pick Klobuchar as his running mate in 2020 as she would most likely be a more formidable foe for the GOP in 2024 as an incumbent that Brandon probably would have given more to do than he did (or will) give to Harris. AOC? I’d think a Libertarian would be elected president before she would.
So half of them are losers from 2020 and most of the rest are unknown .
I love that Newsom’s qualification is surviving a recall.
Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has not been shy about her presidential ambitions.
“Do I hold it as an ambition? Absolutely,” Abrams said in an interview earlier this year with CBS News.
Sure, why not?
Well, she will have had four years as the rightful governor of Georgia under her belt.
And, I guess a very libertarian governor, as a governor that governs the least governs the best?

Wut?
I’m hanging out in the Zoom, if anyone else is as lonely and sad as I,
What kind of collecting useless things brings you joy? I think people who collect Hommels are lame. But, I collect Masterpiece scale Transformers, because I’m a Toys R Us kid. Just drunkenly ordered Wheeljack and Soundwave.
Honest? Honest as the day is long
In this daily series, Newsweek explores the steps that led to the January 6 Capitol Riot.
At 5:30 a.m. on December 25, Christmas Day, a large mobile home detonated on a deserted stretch of 2nd Avenue North in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, nearly collapsing one building and damaging 41 others, shattering windows and sending shrapnel into the early morning street. Trees were knocked to the ground, and Second Avenue took on the charred look of a battleground.

“Some investigators are asking if there is a relationship between the Nashville bombing and the broader right-wing insurgent cause,” terrorism analyst Laurie Mylroie wrote.
Former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe told CNN that an explosion of this size would be investigated as a possible act of terrorism. He speculated that police might have been the target of the explosion because of the broadcast. A Nashville police hazardous devices unit was on the way to the site before the RV exploded.
Bill Ryan, a retired detective and former member of the New York Police Department arson and explosions task force, told Fox News that the Nashville blast could be a “trial run” for a larger attack or “a standalone explosion.”
The many threats to the telecommunications infrastructure, particularly 5G wireless technology, was the main hypothesis of FBI and homeland security analysts, given the conspiracy theories that had been voice connecting 5G to COVID.
“The anti-5G movement is strong, and its meld with anti-vaxxers and MAGA supporters is sure to cause many headaches in the months and years ahead,” a homeland security analyst told Newsweek at the time.

The FBI would later say that Warner’s actions “were determined to not be related to terrorism.”
“Based on analysis of the information and evidence gathered throughout the investigation, the FBI assesses Warner’s detonation of the improvised explosive device was an intentional act in an effort to end his own life, driven in part by a totality of life stressors—including paranoia, long-held individualized beliefs adopted from several eccentric conspiracy theories, and the loss of stabilizing anchors and deteriorating interpersonal relationships,” the FBI said. “The FBI’s analysis did not reveal indications of a broader ideological motive to use violence to bring about social or political change, nor does it reveal indications of a specific personal grievance focused on individuals or entities in and around the location of the explosion.”
Remember the Maine!
That’s science, not like any crazy conspiracy theory or anything.
I love that Newsom’s qualification is surviving a recall.
“People in California hate him!”
If they hadn’t had that white supremacist hobgoblin to scare the voters with, Newsom probably would have lost.
“I wish the Republicans would run a Democrat without an R behind their name, instead of those extremists. I pinky swear I might consider pulling the lever for one of them then.”
Unprecedented
A Winter Storm Warning is set to go into effect at 4 p.m. Christmas Day for the Willamette Valley, as Western Oregon and Southwest Washington brace for snow and biting-cold temperatures.
Cold air flowing into the region from the Arctic will meet moisture from the Pacific Ocean this weekend, bringing between one to three inches of snow to the valley floor. Hills around Portland will likely get a bit more. The Cascades will see a foot or more of new snow.
Global warming will kill us all.
I thought that place burnt up last summer from all the warmening?
Hey Yusuf! Doing ok this morning? Sounded like some tough news last night.
And what were they planning to do with the information?
The Biden administration passed on an October proposal that sought to avert this year’s holiday COVID testing crunch by manufacturing more than 700 million tests each month, according to a new report.
Vanity Fair reported that a group of COVID-19 testing experts from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the Rockefeller Foundation, the COVID Collaborative and several other organizations pitched a 10-page plan to White House officials on Oct. 22.
It reportedly called for the production of roughly 732 million tests per month as part of what the document described as a “Testing Surge To Prevent [a] Holiday COVID surge.” The plan also included a provision for “Every American Household to Receive Free Rapid Tests for the Holidays/New Year.”
To reach the lofty goal, according to Vanity Fair, the experts proposed coordinating a rollout with Amazon, pharmacies, state health departments and local community centers. They also encouraged the administration to implement a similar campaign to the National Institutes of Health’s “Say Yes! Covid Test” initiative to reduce the spread ahead of the holiday season.

Is this another one of those schemes which requires us to pretend tests confer some sort of immunity?
Shut up and accept the science.
Probably just one of dozens of rent-seeking schemes, done in the name of Science, to separate taxpayers from their money. I wonder if anyone has ever looked into how many of those 100,000 respirators that Trump ordered were ever put into service? Probably in that secret warehouse next to the Ark of the Covenant, several dozen crashed UFOs, and the remains of the Loch Ness monster.
