A big win
Jon Rahm was losing oil on the back nine but got it together and won the Genesis. But this lady had bigger news to report on. Brennan has always been an asshole. Tiger has done more for the LPGA than anybody in the history of the game. Without him, half the American players on that tour would have never picked up a club. The Daytona 500 was yesterday, but NASCAR is not much fun anymore. And across the pond, ManUre did their job to keep pace with the top of the EPL table. And Liverpool managed to get a big win as well. And that’s its for sports.
By “some conservatives,” who do they mean? Oh. Larry Hogan. The fuckwit who locked down schools during covid almost as long as the most hardcore Dems. Welp, fuck that guy. Sununu too? Another go-along-to-get-along “conservative.” I do see FIRE’s point about their complaints, but it’s a narrowly tailored argument and the law could easily be revised to address that argument. But that’s on the legislature, not DeSantis.
Are we in Kiev?
I’d have rather he sat his ass in Rehoboth Beach. It wouldn’t be kicking the hornet’s nest. But none of these idiots can help themselves anymore. They won’t be happy until we’re in the middle of a shooting war.
This would be hilarious. I just hope one of the opponents says her name three times and makes her disappear before she turns their mouth into a zipper or something.
Get a load of this guy. Being honest and shit. Doesn’t he know he’s a politician? Oh well, he can make things right for his party by just “clarifying” by blaming Trump.
I don’t know about this one. People are going crazy, but it was a carjacking. I can understand why he shot.
Another mass shooting. Oh wait, it’s an everyday occurrence there. So it’s not gonna make the national news.
Not Texas.
“BuT TexAs CaN’t KeEp tHe PoWer On.” Nice job, electricity monopoly that the state enforces. Really good work. I doubt this will be a national story though. You know, since it happens several times a year there.
This guy was pretty funny. Rest in peace.
Doo-wop lives. I do enjoy that song. But I like rock too. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this long weekend Monday.
I don’t know how anyone can watch golf on TV.
Yeah, I would rather watch paint dry…
Same about tennis or cars going around in circles.
Skeet shooting is where the TV action is.
Certainly a sport I think I’d rather watch on TV than live. Especially the Dick Cheney Invitational….
All I know is it’s a great excuse to drink beer with your buddies while pretending to participate in a sport, playing it I mean.
George Carlin said watching golf on TV was like watching flies fuck. I miss him.
“This would be hilarious. I just hope one of the opponents says her name three times and makes her disappear before she turns their mouth into a zipper or something.”
THIS!
Start a fundraiser for it. You could call it a zip drive.

““Well, I think they are,” he said. “I mean, I talked to the mayor. The mayor said definitively, emphatically, that people can drink the water. The mayor’s — I don’t know. I don’t think the mayor has small kids. He looks a little older to me. I didn’t ask him, but — about bathing his kids.”’
Clear, and straight to the point.
Yeah, I don’t see Ron pulling the levers himself… you know, like Biden does.
Remember: they have to have dual competing realities to make the magic happen.
DeSantis is a bumbling imbecile not capable of coherent thought, and is so cunning he controls the levers of power as deftly as Palpatine.
Listen bub, THE SCIENCE just said that Biden is healthy and VIGOROUS!
One could make the argument that since Dr. Jill is kissing other people’s husbands on the mouth, that the Bidens are swingers, and no swinger is gonna be out of shape…
Narrator: Alex has never seen “real” swingers.
If they look like the people yo see on nudist beaches, well, there isn’t a group of people that needs to wear clothes more than them freaking nudists. Seeing those freaks naked should be classified as being exposed to WMD effects.
Reddit lied to me?
“I don’t know about this one. People are going crazy, but it was a carjacking. I can understand why he shot.”
The demand from the people getting pissed seems to be that people committing crimes can’t be interrupted or stopped unless they are honkey dudes. That won’t end well..
I’ve got some questions for the parents.
Probably wrong, but I was expecting this for the rock link. Morning, Sloopy.. morning, all!
The memes last week about “East Palestine changes name to Kyiv to get attention from Biden” seems extra true today.
I really like that song too. As much as I think the guy is full of himself, his catalog of great music is quite extensive.
You’re not even going to take the opportunity to mention that one of Danica Patrick’s exes won the race? I haz disappoint.
Huh… I didn’t care enough to watch yesterday — and with that tidbit…. nope, still don’t even care to find out who that is or why it is supposed to be interesting. If I never hear from or about Danica again, I will not complain either.
I figure putting up with her for five years was good training and gave him the stamina to survive what turned out to be a 530 mile race.
Did Danica not age well and now no longer is pleasant on the eyes?
Do not know. Do not care.
Don Lemon would say she’s past her prime. And he would probably be right.
She looked good at the COTA F1 pregame. No, she’s not 22 anymore.

I’d been REEEEEEEing over her mindless commentary during the USGP for months. And I’d almost gotten her out of my mind until you reminded me of her existence, and now I’m back to the REEEEEEing.
Did she ever do anything of note in NASCAR other than have the right genitalia?
She did wreck herself trying to wreck others several times… That was pretty funny when it happened.
She was a useful interview to fill air time during a rain delay.
The word “useful” is doing a lot of work in this sentence.
LOL
Her main opponents are a schools hack and a socialist. Sorry, Chicago.
Are good candidates running for anything anywhere?
Why would a good candidate run for anything? All politics is corruption and horror.
She has a backup plan for a tour with Brother Gordie if all else fails
Young Christie Brinkley… :Homer drooling sound::

That’s why they had to get rid of Trump.
The tampon joke is fucking hilarious. The tampon controversy is peak stupidity.
Will these people ever get over their sanctimony?
Survey SAYS!
“No” is the number one answer!
Then I suppose our only hope is that they beclown themselves so much that the rest of society cancels them.
The tampon joke is the kind of semi lame but who gives a damn really type of humor that competitive guys have pulled on each other since forever. There’s nothing wrong with it and the garment rending over it is just stupid.
The palpable fear CNN has of DeSantis is delicious.
This is what Obama’s ‘Fundamentally change America’ promise was all about
Yeah, all he did was usher in wokeness, ripping apart decades old wounds that had largely been dealt with by the end of the 90s. He brought us back 60 years in race relations, and the woke crowd seems to be trying to make it 160 years.
All in service of bringing Chicago-style politics in DC.
And DC was ready for Chicago-style politics, they lapped it up.
Actually, Obama’s greatest success was to weaponize the leadership of every big federal bureaucracy and the U.S. military by replacing the people in those positions of power with assholes whose loyalty was to the dnc crime syndicate and Obama’s marxist ideals above all all else, and then letting them circumvent congress and fuck over the American people.
How can you move at all under the weight of all that tin foil?
The MSM used to write stories about the rise of neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
Now that they are at the highest levels of government and right at Zyy’s side… crickets.
The media do what they are told.

It was just going to be a love tap.
And obviously he was a sweet kid who loved his mama.
Sounds like top notch parenting.
Are they blaming everyone else for not letting their kid commit the car jacking unbothered?
Five bucks says they didn’t have the same father.
I’m generally not pro-cop, but anybody who suggests that a vehicle is not a weapon is being disingenuous.
I am pretty sure that if there had been no car jacking none of us would ever hear about this kid (unless there was some other crime leading to a shooting in that kid’s future).
You kidding me?
You have this Hispanic cop. He’s not only succumbed to white supremacy, but there was a fucking gun involved. No man, not even a righteous Latinx, can stave off that combo when there’s an innocent brown kid nearby.
The whole situation is sad. But these parents need to grab a mirror if they want to know what led to the series of events that caused their kid to be dead.
And while I hate trigger-happy cops, this wasn’t a traffic stop gone wrong. This was a legit carjacking and the carjacker was using the car as a weapon in an attempt to harm someone and get away. Sorry the kid was 13, but that’s old enough to know that stealing a fucking car and trying to hit someone with it is wrong.
Mom just won the ghetto lottery. She’s going to play it for all its worth.
Would anyone be surprised car jackings were part of the family business?
Certainly when I hear the sister was gunned down recently, my brain jumps to “kid had joined a gang and that was a hit gone wrong.. then he got killed carjacking for the gang”.
Maybe wrong… but certainly what leaps to mind. Damned shame — not that I have a solution other than cutting welfare and doing our damnedest to promote the family and a culture change where possible. That’s my white supremacy, I’m sure… wanting kids to have stable homes, an interest in education and business instead of crime, etc… so terrible of me.
See the twit above with Lemon calling for all of that – in an earlier age.
Damn your nimble fingers.
and doing our damnedest to promote the family and a culture change where possible.
Get a load of 2013 Don Lemon over here.
How do we cancel him? He’s clearly a white supremacist? I mean, isn’t cancelling people who tweeted wrongthink a decade ago what you’re supposed to do?
I think they cancelled him yesterday for his Nikki Haley stuff.
They cancelled him cause as a gay guy he should have known better than to admit in public that he believes old hags are passe.
Maybe they need moar gators in NYC to help with their various problems?
That one sure looks underfed.
Aw, I feel bad for the gator. What kind of asshole releases an alligator into a New York park?
Who decides an alligator would make a good pet in the first place? Don’t they realize they grow? Same with the idiots who got pet pythons in Florida.
They wanted a handbag so bad and knew a guy down in the fashion district who’d do the processing but didn’t account for the growth rate?
Wait a fucking second…
How the fuck did this gator in NYC article devolve to a “Sam Brinkman is looking to steal an alligator bag at some airport” thing?
Some people find a lot of enjoyment in owning exotic animals. I know several owners of anacondas, Burmese, and retics. All take good care of their large boids and get a lot of enjoyment. Doesn’t make them idiots anymore than the people who have an interest in sports, exotic cars, coin collecting, etc.
Burmese became mostly established in Florida after Hurricane Andrew swept through and destroyed wholesale breeding facilities, releasing the snakes into the wild. Yeah, occasionally some moron releases their exotic pet but that’s the rare exception. It’s the same hysteria we get whenever there’s a mass shooting and the finger points to law-abiding gun owners. You know, those same idiots who enjoy owning ARs with 30 round mags.
There’s also quite the crossover between exotic animal owners and firearm owners. The same tactics are being used against both groups to divide and abolish.
Sorry, I’m not saying there aren’t good exotic pet owners, but anyone trying to keep an alligator in NYC isn’t one of them.
“Burmese became mostly established in Florida after Hurricane Andrew swept through and destroyed wholesale breeding facilities, releasing the snakes into the wild.”
I did not know that. I kept hearing about people buying baby pythons and releasing them after they got too big.
That’s fair. I also remember hearing a drug dealer in NYC who had a tiger in his apartment. There are idiots among exotic animal keepers.
I kept hearing about people buying baby pythons and releasing them after they got too big.
The media is the enemy, and they are aligned against exotic animal ownership. Burmese can only survive winter in a very small section of the US and have been well established since Andrew. The assholes releasing their pythons aren’t a good look, but it’s mainly cruelty to the individual animals and won’t significantly add to the already established population.
Over the past 20 years, regulations/laws have been passed at the federal level and in most states across the country to increasingly ban exotic animal ownership and even some domestics like ferrets. Not just the dangerous ones, but the dangerous ones have been how they got their foot in the door. And then we all know the story about incremental government grabs. The Humane Society is an enormous driver behind this. Much like MADD and other left-wing groups, they are a front for tyrants hiding behind a false compassion of helping others. Most of this isn’t on anyone’s radar though unless if you keep exotics for a hobby (or profit like family owned zoos, which are also being pushed out).
He may have been sold a caiman but got a gator instead. Combination of fraud and ignorant buyer.
“The Canadian high school teacher who goes to work wearing size Z prosthetic breasts incredibly claimed they’re not fake — and denied being the person photographed leaving home without them — but acknowledged she can’t prove it.
“I’m not wearing prosthetic breasts. These are real,” Kayla Lemieux told The Post during an exclusive interview Saturday.
Lemieux — who wore woman’s clothing, with a blond wig, makeup and her enormous breasts — said she’s “not a transgendered person” but was born “intersex.”
“My condition is classified as gigantomastia, which can also be referred to as macromastia or breast hypertrophy,” Lemieux said during a sit-down at a cafe in Burlington, near Toronto.”

OFFS!!
So now they are pissed this guy played them and made the whole system look like idiocy?
Fucking idiots.
I’ve heard that he’s working the system. If the rumors are true, he was generally a conservative teacher who started wearing the prosthetics as a way of protesting the woke idiocy. The school board is now caught in a Catch-22.
That was from 4chan though.
Generally more trustworthy than the corporate media.
And it is the NY Post saying here are the pictures we took of this guy not wearing his clown boobs.
That’s not evidence he is a conservative teacher who started wearing the prosthetics as a way of protesting the woke idiocy.
Sorry, I was responding to “working the system,” but yes, I don’t think conservative in protest is accurate.
Yes, he is definitely working the system. Although that doesn’t rule out crazy. Look at Jessica Yaniv.
*milking the system ?
Hitting it in the jugular.
The whole thing seems to be an elaborate troll. Props for staying in character and keeping the game going I guess.

She’s past her prime – Don Lemmonaide
Yeah I’d say she’s just ok at this point.
Ken Bone coming through.
He said the visit reaffirmed that the United States has “unwavering and unflagging commitment to Ukraine’s democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.”
I’m gad you decided this for us for a country that is not an ally and in which we have no interests. I can only imagine what you cuntes are hiding there.
They’re attempting to hide their absolute and unconditional foreign policy failure that is costing tens of thousands of lives and has dislocated millions while simultaneously turning Russia into an enemy that the US people didn’t want or need.
US foreign policy towards Russia is an unmitigated disaster. Everyone involved should be put to the guillotine.
Just as there aren’t enough lamp posts for the perpetrators of Covid mania, there are not enough baskets for these Ukraine ball fondlers.
US foreign policy towards Russia has been about the anger & angst that the Obama admin Sec of State Clinton and her “RESET” button caused around the whole Skolkovo project. See, the Obamas thought that if they set up a project to share high tech with the Russians as part of that reset, the Russians would suddenly become dependent on the US (not to mention that a whole bunch of connected people, mostly team blue, would be able to steal a massive amount of tax payer lucre in this racket). The Russians promptly focused on tech with military applications and stole everything they could to transfer back to the Russian defense industry (That Tzirkon hypersonic missile is a DARPA project). It was a horrible disaster, and massive slap in the face to uppity asshats that thought they were smarted than the unwashed Russians that made them look like total idiots, but like so many other abject failures and disasters during the Obama admin’s reign of terror, was buried deep.
Team blue however never forgave the Russians, and Putin in particular, for buttfucking them in public that bad, and they have been looking for revenge since then.
They’ve got all kinds of motivations for hating Russia, most of them derived from their own incompetence. When Putin got involved in our Syrian fiasco, it really ticked DC off. Who is Russia to tell the the USA what countries we can and cannot destroy?
The involvement in Syria is also about their plans to undermine Putin. Look up the Qatar-Turkey pipeline that was supposed to run to Europe and undermine the East German led Merkel Russo-friendly government’s efforts to more closely ally with Russia through an energy interdependence effort. Ukraine is more of the same (and a replacement for the Afghan money laundering racket).
And they were actually effective and made a positive impact on the lives of millions of people on a threadbare budget with the intervention (I’m well aware that wasn’t their prime motivation, just a fortunate side-effect) We can’t have that shit.
Russia has had a naval base in Syria since the 70s. Of course they were going to be involved in our Syrian fiasco.
Yeah, im definitely tired of the “The most patriotic thing you can do is uncritically support the Ukraine. Just don’t dare fly an American flag in America.
East Palestine gets no visit, Kiev does + no strings attached dollars too. It’s infuriating and wrong and I think people, even those who don’t generally agree with us politically, are beginning to see it.
Enough to overcome the next “fortification” or GTFO.
This.
Noticed a slew of articles about Ukraine supposedly conscripts as young as 16. Only thing I can think of is leaning on Western countries to send in boots so the younglings can live
Is it just me, or does it look like the lights are on in the pic of the Oakland airport shut down because it lost power?
What, you expect a modern reporter to actually go out and try to get a topical picture (especially in Oakland of all cities?!?) instead of just using a stock photo? Madness, good sir! Madness!
Depends on how they get their feed(s). What gets me is they aren’t on a UPS and backup generator for critical areas? Security, ticketing, air ops should all experience no loss of power while non-essential outlets and coffee makers do.
It’s Oakland which is a synonym for disfunction. Nothing would surprise me.
Is the water safe? Public health exerts say it is. Don’t you trust them, you SCIENCE!- deniers?
Gee, why wouldn’t anybody trust them?

Yes, 8 losses and have conceded 35 goals in the PL. Somehow in 4th.
16th is a happy spot for me.
As someone said this weekend, Everton will soon be where they belong – lower mid table.
I follow a team in Championship that is 3 spots above relegation. So I got that going for me …
I follow a German team that went from the 2nd tier in 2020 to the 4th tier now. 🙁
I could have easily ended up a Sheffield Wednesday fan, as they have the best name in soccer. They are in League 1 now. They are winning League 1, so may be back in the Championship next year.
I follow Sunderland (go Black Cats!), who dropped two levels to League One, fought back to Championship, and may have a shot at returning to the Premier League if they can hang on to 6th or better. Sunderland ’til I Die was a good Netflix series.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a right-of-center First Amendment group that argued for White nationalist Richard Spencer’s right to speak on a Florida campus, has joined DeSantis in opposing diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, programs. Nevertheless, the group has repeatedly criticized Florida’s heavy-handed approach to forcing conservative beliefs on universities and is suing the state over the Stop WOKE Act, a DeSantis-backed measure that legislated how professors teach certain topics.
Any thought not prohibited is mandatory.
I don’t keep track of NAPCAR’s rules. Are they running on 8 ply truck tires now? I don’t remember ever seeing so many two-tire or no-tire stops before.
Don’t even try. It’s the Calvinball of motor sports.
In addition to all the shitty rules changes, it just doesn’t seem like there’s as much competitive drive among the drivers. It’s all very mild mannered. Mild. That’s a good word for NASCAR these days
Ever since they outlawed nooses, it hasn’t been the same.

He took his wife to dinner at an Italian restaurant. The waiter greeted them with “bottle of red; bottle of white; what’ll it be tonight”. Joel said he paused for a moment, then said “Thank You.”

Nearly one year after Russia invaded Ukraine, new questions are rising over China’s potential willingness to offer military aid to Moscow in the increasingly drawn-out conflict.
In an interview that aired Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said American intelligence suggests China is considering providing arms and ammunition to Russia, an involvement in the Kremlin’s war effort that he said would be a “serious problem.”
This is our proxy war. You keep out.

On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin accused the United States of “fanning flames and stoking confrontations” by providing Ukraine with defensive weapons, and said Beijing would “never accept (U.S.) finger-pointing and even coercion and pressure on China-Russia relations.”
“Defensive” weapons; whose word was that, I wonder?
“Get a load of this guy. Being honest and shit.”
Palestine? Water? Who the fuck would care. Isn’t that place in the Middle East, not the Midwest, after all? I thought that Palestinian shit was last decade or something. Remember that guy, Yassir or some shit, the guy who was trying his best to look like a homeless guy in the Middle East, not Midwest?
There are more important things going on you know? Like, doing our very best to amuse China by demanding they apologize for us shooting down our own toy balloons and trying to start a nuclear war.

LOL! The Bee, you have to admit, are almost as funny as this current administration, but not quite so world ending dangerous.
And what really is the percentage of the chance that they at least occasionally peruse the Glib links?
“Critics are accusing the British publisher of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s books of censorship after it removed colorful language from works such as “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Matilda” to make them more acceptable to modern readers.”

Feel good story or tip of the corruption iceberg?
Why does the police department have a foundation? Which crime victims get replacement cars? Just the sympathetic ones or the young pretty ones? The close relationship between the car dealer and the foundation has nothing to do with the fact that the car dealer has a Ford franchise and handles most of the department’s vehicles, right?
Its 1987 which 2 movies are you saving, the rest are lost forever?

Spaceballs and Lost Boys. Other years will make up the Vietnam nostalgia needs.
That’ll do SDF, that’ll do.
I’d take robocop over spaceballs
But people can quote Spaceballs correctly
There are far better Mel Brooks movies to preserve.
WHERE THE WHITE WOMEN AT?
Correct.
What Knockers!
Young Frankenstein > Blazing Saddles >>> Spaceballs

The Producers
I’m a little ashamed to admit I’ve never seen more than short bits of The Producers.
That must be cause your Schwartz isn’t as big as mine…
Full Metal Jacket and Robocop
Or maybe that’s my Monday pessimism talking.
Ishtar and Leonard Part 6 are the correct answers.
Predator and Robocop.
And a comedian!
Maybe he and Polis can team up on a whirlwind tour as a great comedy tour
“I don’t know about this one. People are going crazy, but it was a carjacking. I can understand why he shot.”
Come on, man. This kid was just out for an innocent stroll, like probably just bought some Skittles when this obviously White Hispanic supremacist cop sprung on him from out of the bushes.

So many good links today, not sure why I feel the need to make my own still. But this one might be worth it:
Anyone seen any Clinton’s around Anaheim?
I sense a great Rethuglican conspiracy that needed dealt with by tossing someone from a garage.

Who gets to keep that?
Erdogan and some of his relatives I would assume.
Good morning, Sloopy.

We urge you!
LOL. Maybe if you could get that face diaper off your face for 5 fucking minutes, at least on camera, and stop pretending like they actually work at all. Then someone might take you seriously. Otherwise, I am afraid ‘Your urging’ is going to fall on deaf ears amongst the deaf and dumb.
I don’t go to any place that has that stupid mandate going. Texas is easy, only crackpots in dark corners do that. I can’t imagine what it just be like in some places.
“Abar: Black Superman” is the movie this week.
Wife and I at least tried to ignore Prime’s pandering to the Black something week bullshit while watching Carnival Row last night. Do they have any idea how obviously obvious they are?
It’s bad. In the future it will not be a good look. Not sure how long it will take for people to realize that no single race should not be put on a pedestal.
I was reading a most excellent article last night on Substack, I think, about how monoculture our political class has become and now some mind viruses are just too dangerous that they can’t last because of the obvious chance of killing the host. I think this Ukraine BS is one such brain virus. Trying to find the link now…
And also the race pandering brain virus…
Woohoo!
Even in blue CO it’s done. I saw a total of 5 masks on Friday at Costco. One orange haired chick, one purple haired dude and three old Asian people.
There are still many ‘bitter clingers’ around here. Actually if you venture down into the barren wasteland that is Balmer proper, it’s almost like it never ended.
Seems Vegas has settled into “if you wanna, go for it” mode which should have been the starting point from the get go.
Here in Snohomish, the mask wearing is done only by Asian people. And by Asian I mean Oriental, not that vast swath of other Asians.
I was in the Smithsonian in 2010 and the young, seemingly able-bodied Asians were wearing masks at the time. Seems to be a cultural thing.
I would think the goal would be to not let any sick individuals around elderly. Pneumonia was the big one, still is.
Eh… certainly don’t push the vax on the workers, but monitoring them for being positive makes sense if they’re working in retirement homes. Those are the most vulnerable and often have compromised immune systems after all. You know, what we should have done in 2020 in the first place instead of Cuomo’s “Kill ’em all — and quarantine the healthy!” modus operandi.
Knowledgeable sources
Ukraine can lose the war, but Russia cannot win at a geopolitical level, Ian Bremmer, political scientist and president of Eurasia Group, told CNBC.
“Ukraine can lose this war,” Bremmer told CNBC’s Hadley Gamble at the Munich Security Conference on Friday, but Russia cannot win in NATO because of its “pariah” status, Bremmer said.
″[Russia] will still be cut off, NATO will still expand and for Putin, feeling humiliated, insecure and in a vastly worse geostrategic position than he was before he invaded, what’s he going to do as the world’s most powerful rogue state? That’s a long-term question that goes beyond Ukraine,” Bremmer added.
Bremmer said that the NATO support for Ukraine had been “extraordinary” and “well beyond what anyone thought possible,” with Germany reducing its dependency on Russian energy supplies and the U.S. taking the lead in sending military supplies to Ukraine. But he questioned whether this assistance would continue.
“Will it be true in 2024, with upcoming presidential elections?” he asked. “We don’t know what’s going to happen there.”
Let’s back Putin farther into that corner and see how pariah status affects his options.
I’m sure they’re happy to pay triple for ours. Hey, as long as it reduces Putin to selling his to China and India… wait, what?
BRICS is gonna be interesting to watch. Not sure how cutting free from the west is gonna result in a pariah state when gigantic countries still want to dance.
I can’t decide if our foreign policy “experts” are mentally challenged or just lying to us.
They continue to pretend that the Western world is the only world.
Meanwhile, Russia is opening up direct trade with India, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc… and not using the SWIFT system or denominating in dollars.
We’re ruled by malicious morons.
Oceana needs it’s enemies..
Curiously, I mean at least in the Hyperion household, my wife just asked me what is up with this ‘Asbury Revival’ thing.
Yeah, I heard about this, but I was surprised that she heard of it.
I’m not religious, but I am also not one to dismiss such matters without some consideration.
After briefly pondering the question, I said ‘Mass hysteria, or they are praying that a nuclear war does not break out any minute now?’.
Like with the type reply I receive with everything I say on most days, from most people, she’s like WTF?
I know these people (Biden admin) are stupid beyond belief, but I’m starting to ponder whether they are quite literally insane?
I don’t know if this ever made the Glib links, but I think maybe it should have, if not.
Snokomish County Noos
Seriously, what type of hellish place would have a name like ‘Snokomish’?
Well, a Left Coast place, that is where.
I mean, I think we are talking about ground zero in this war to trash the rule of law to such an extent that polite civilization collapses and has to be replaced by something else. To learn about what the something else might be, maybe one could ask Zelensky Biden’s master, Klaus?
I don’t know about “Snokomish”, but there’s Skokomish and Snohomish and Snoqualmie and Skykomish and Squamish and Duwamish and Stillaguamish…
All of which are derived from local Indian tribes.
Not breakaway sects from the Amish?
Like every other name over here. Puyallup is the best shibboleth though.
“Snohomish”
It does appear that the Pedant police department have won the debate and any other concerns have been relegated to obscurity. So be it how it goes in Portlandian sounding places!
Portlandia can have some, as long as we get to keep Humptulips.
I once lived in a place in IN where seemingly every single landmark had an Indian sounding name like ‘Salamonie’ or ‘Mississenewah’. Spelling may vary.
In Louisville, all the major parks had Indian names.
Seneca, Cherokee, Shawnee, Iroquois, Chenoweth.
Three of those had nearby High Schools with the same name. I went to one, we were the Redskins. They are Red Hawks now.
Phillip Pullman has weighed in on the Dahl edits. His response is too many people are buying Dahl’s books instead of his, so they should be taken off the market altogether.
I am not making this up.
He really seems like a thoroughgoing asshole.
Yes, yes he does.
