I think it may be time for the treadmill.
All pray for Sloopy. He is currently on suicide watch, as his beloved Buckeyes were defeated by the evil Harbaughs. He should be okay by Monday. Maybe.
Links?
I would say that cranking the hog in front of strangers is a sign your life has gone off the rails.
Joe is sinkin’ low. Don’t worry though, Team Red has plenty of time to fuck it up.
Hamas may be finding their support isn’t as strong as they think.
Because the movies really suck and they’re more valuable as a tax write off?
Okay, I’m out. Time to hit the gym, people!
If you want the low information voter to wake up and realize they’re being screwed, charge $16 for a Big Mac meal.
The spin from that article could turn a turbine and power a million houses.
That’s pretty much every article these days. I put no veracity into anything I post.
RE your comment on dogs loving snow in the last post……I would throw the ball into a drift and he would bury his head up to his shoulders to find it. It was hilarious. He is always wound up when I let him run free but in the snow he was extremely wound up. Too bad it was 27F and the wind was blowing 20 MPH otherwise we would have stayed out longer. I need to move to FL.
Adler runs through the snow with his nose two inches below the surface. He comes up with a snow cone on his face.
Love it.
Joe is sinkin’ low.
When they start publishing polls that have Joe down it means they are warming up to replace him. Not that he hasn’t been replaced already.
The big question is who has really been running this administration, and who ran the last one. It wasn’t either of the figureheads.
What the front page post graphic reminded me of.
Wait, whut?
*deletes comment*
Why did I click on that.
Because fuck you, that’s why?
Whatever docs were involved in that horror belong in prison.
I was just in Portland. I saw so much weirdness like that, Im immune.
I made the comment that even tho I flew into San Fran the last week of Pride Month, I some more queers and weirdos in Portland than I did in San Fran.
/not that I went looking

Nah, it is a perfectly cromulent activity, at least in exchange for money.
Trying to keep it separate from a very public profile position (I ‘member watching him every morning) is a bit nuts, though.
Agree. The smart and talented ones can even succeed by keeping the face off the camera.
These stories soon reached the White House Office of Digital Strategy, which tracked the meme as one of many exaggerated examples of the nation’s economic woes, according to a White House official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to reflect internal discussions. In reality, inflation has been steadily subsiding, and last week the government reported price hikes had eased yet again in October.
Nice weasel wording, there. It’s not like the inflation from previous years is going away.
NASDAQ is down 20% from its 2021 highs. Inflation over the last few years has totaled 20%, as well. So some middle-aged middle-management type with $1M in his portfolio a few years back now has $800K, with the purchasing power of $640K — and he’s wondering who just stole a third of a million bucks from him, and he’s narrowing his gaze at Washington, D.C. And no amount of word salad from Taylor Lorenz is going to convince him otherwise.
Yeah, that article is priceless. According to it, the White House is stuck between a strategy of telling everyone that their eyes are lying to them and the economy is doing great, or blaming Republicans and corporate greed. MSN seems to have settled on a theory that we’re all lying to each other on social media about how bleak things are.
“Some economists think these kinds of comments [on social media] are not just wrong but dangerous. They have been astounded by polling data on Biden’s economic approval and surveys of consumer sentiment, where results during the Biden administration are similar to the Great Recession, when unemployment was close to three times as high as it is now. These economists fear that these exaggerated stories will ultimately lead to a worse outcome — perhaps helping Trump win reelection — and that it is vital to make clear that this remains by many measures one of the best recoveries in modern U.S. history. They also express confusion over why consumers continue to spend so heavily, if the pessimism is driven by economic insecurity.”
Maybe consumers continue to spend so heavily because a trip to the grocery store to buy a few things costs a fucking fortune. Somehow, the only piece of wisdom in that article is uttered toward the end by a “content creator and progressive activist.”
Also, I resemble your last paragraph about the disgruntled middle-aged guy whose portfolio has eroded.
Oh, and that little bit about all of this misinformation on the economy maybe leading to Orange Hitler winning reelection is the tell.
And I call bullshit on the last 12 months inflation rate being that low anyway. Not that I’m in the business of buying much, but there’s no way food and clothing have only gone up 3.5% in the past year.
Food, clothing, housing, and energy are “volatile” are not included in the official Consumer Price Index. As bad as inflation was a year ago, it was way worse than publicly acknowledged.
There was a website that shows what inflation was if calculated according the rules in place for the 70s and 80s. The 9% official CPI for 2022 was actually about 15% using the 80s formula.
So, the current CPI has come down to something rational, except the items that are excluded (food, clothing, housing, and energy — the monthly budget of the working class) are still rising dramatically. I went shopping for groceries the week before Thanksgiving. I bought extras for the holiday, but generally bought my normal weekly shopping. The bill was $350. I almost shit myself.
So Fuck Joe Biden.
The reason for switching from the U6 to the U3 number is the volatility of those commodities. When I was negotiating contracts in the ’90s, the district refused to use the U6 number, especially when it came to straight cost of living raises.
It makes it easier for the politicians to tell us things aren’t as bad as we know they are.
Yes. But for the majority of lower middle class, food, clothing, shelter, and energy are the vast majority of their monthly expenses. Doesn’t matter what the politicians say, these people know they are getting fucked over.
But they still tend to vote Democrat. The current situation is finally forcing that group into a different way of thinking? We’ll see.
A whole bunch of them voted for Ron Reagan in 1980. Jimmy learned the hard way.
The Peronist got votes in Argentina. How many years have they been fucking up that entire country? Longer than any Democrats have had their claws into our cities. AND THEY STILL GOT FUCKING VOTES.
Never, ever ask me if I think democracy is worth saving.
At this rate they can dribble out a few hostages a week and get enough “aid” to fund years of attacks.
Fool me… how many times now?
The state-level data are just as striking: In addition to those New York Times/Siena polls, within the last week and a half, other surveys have shown Trump ahead by 8 points in Arizona and 5 points up in Michigan.
Nothing to fear, tovarisch. This is well within the margin of fortification.
With mail in ballots still a thing in Michigan, I say it’s more likely Trump is not on the ballot in Michigan than Trump wins Michigan.
There was a dentist in my little town growing up back in the seventies, who needed a tax write off one year. Someone told him about some movie coming out that was a sure stinker, and that he should back this movie as he could get a write off for a couple years on it.
It was Star Wars.
That’s awesome. Springtime for Hitler.

Are those wieners?
Yep, average-sized ones.
Were they harvested locally?
They’re from the Bar….Bar-S
White trash confirmed. You couldn’t even spring for the Heb’s to show solidarity for the extermination of them inferior A Rabs?
I’m in the outskirts of Cherokee, NC in highest Appalachia. You think they have God’s Chosen Hot Dogs?
Even in wiener choices it is Yahweh or the highway. Get on board.

It’s not the size of the wiener…

The backlash was swift as it became clear that “Batgirl” was not an isolated incident, and filmmakers who have seen “Coyote vs. Acme” came forward to praise it. Even Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) got involved, slamming Warner Bros. Discovery’s “tactic of scrapping fully made films for tax breaks” as “predatory and anti-competitive” and calling for FTC to “review this conduct.”
Why would a Texas congresscritter give a flying fart about how a California movie company spends its money?
Filmed in Texas & probably subsidized?
It seems really unlikely that they still wouldn’t be better off releasing the movie if it made decent money. There’s no way it was going to.
A. Pro-tip: Dont show your junk on the internet.
B. Hillary has a 97% chance of winning the presidency. In other news, polls are shit. In spite of this any run-o-the-mill R would gladly lose handily to Biden.
C. Hamas and their ilk can only be dealt with one way.
D. Cool.
E. Reality always wins in the end. At some point not even the most brainwashed cannot deny it any longer.
F. That has been true for years now.
G. Lab leak conspiracy theory. They forgot the word ‘conspiracy’. Also debunked: the conspiracy theory of gravity.
I heard a Pangolin chucked it up Batgirl and that is what started the pandemic. Thanks Warner Bros
Re Batgirl, The Drinker has this to say . . . . .
Production Hell – Batgirl (What REALLY Happened)
This is a great analysis. I recommend it.
it is vital to make clear that this remains by many measures one of the best recoveries in modern U.S. history.
“After we smothered the baby with a pillow, we shocked him back to life and gave him oxygen. See how much better he looks?”
The average Big Mac nationally as of this summer cost $5.58, up from $4.89 — or roughly 70 cents — before Biden took office, according to an index maintained by the Economist. That’s up more than 10 percent, but it’s not $16.
Ole! Nice cape work. That bull doesn’t know if he’s a-comin’ or a-goin’.
“That’s up more than 10 percent, but it’s not $16.” It’s also not a Big Mac Meal.
34-40, ouch
Quite interesting game at the end. BYU at OkSU.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to reflect private conversations. “I don’t know how long we can keep doing this and expect a different result.”
“According to this quote I made up from an imaginary interview with somebody who doesn’t exist…”
Btw, didn’t make either list today but ..
… the data behind Mann’a famous global warming hockey stick came out and does not even remotely fit his conclusions. He had tried to keep it under wraps for a long time.
i think 20+ years
Was this due to one of the lawsuits?
Won’t stop theme from still using it. They are fucking liars.
Don’t think so but yes he is in lawsuit with Steyn.
data has been meticulously reconstructed by a Swedish engine
engineer
This is the same fellow caught fabricating tree ring data (his emails linked) while the media establishment handwaved it.
I think some climate researchers may genuinely be concerned about some things.
Not this guy though. He’s corrupt as hell.
I know, I read Steyns book. Ya, Mann is a world class POS. He should be shunned from all serious discussions about anything but won’t be because the people doing the discussing are as big of POS’s as he is.
Steyn wins?
If he lives long enough. I keep looking for updates and there is just nothing. Bleakhouse redux.
As of five days ago, set to go to trial 1/16/24. We’ll see.
“does not even remotely fit his conclusions”
You are shitting me!
“He had tried to keep it under wraps for a long time.”
A true hallmark of an honest man. Mann, I guess.
Back in 1990, I packed up my college-sophomore girlfriend of nine months and drove to Tallahassee for the Florida-FSU game. We couldn’t afford tickets, so we found a bar that wasn’t too particular about verifying her age and watched the game there. Afterwards, we shared a bottle of Grand Marnier (I had picked up the taste for that from a fraternity brother, now sadly departed for that big keg party in the sky).
Fast forward thirty-three years: I married the girl, and we still drink GranMa for the Florida State game.
I’m always fascinated by the deep hold college football has on Americans, being a guy who never really consumed it.
I see the daily Twitter replies from Sloopy about it.
It clearly inspires deep passions.
Were it not for left wing ideological capture, I think I’d be pretty intent to ensure my offspring go to only those schools that don’t spend a dime on it. Unfortunately those schools are the most captured in even worse ways.
I do not understand it at all.
Sports should be played in facilities without stands or cameras, for the sake of playing the game.
Jesus Christ, way to miss the point/not understand human nature in the slightest…
I mean, Jesus Fucking Christ.
I watched that year from St George

Another day ending in -y means it’s time for the far-left to shit all over everything that used to be enjoyable again.
The custom “keffiyeh” ski masks are a nice touch, cowards. I wonder if Target sells them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Target also had Keffiyeh in pride rainbows and trans flags.
Blend the Palestinian Keffiyeh with the Pride Keffiyeh and then send a couple palates to Gaza and the West Bank.
Reverse the parties, and most of the media would be falling all over themselves to call it “Islamophobia”.
Dear Santa,
I’d like some moar 5.56.
Green tip is fine.

Sounds legit.
Well, that’ll teach them to behave themselves.
The cops aren’t enforcing anything these days. It’s too politically fraught.
Do you want to get shivved in jail? Because being a cop is how you get shivved in jail.
Damn, RIP everyone in Gaza I guess.
Spudz Salacious Silicone Saturday Slootz give you plenty to be thankful for.

Rossini: Dad, where were you the last week? I missed you.
Me: It’s called a vacation, lad. I took your mother to the Caribbean. Don’t worry about it. You’re in your favorite spot, so let’s watch the game together.
Rossini: Okay! (proceeds to fall asleep)
Did Rossini knead his paws before going to sleep?
Drooled on me a bit is all.
Aww!

A Fire Upon the Deep may be my favorite novel since the Liu Cixin novels I’d been reading.
It’s got EVERYTHING, hive-mind dogs, human children whose parents die, weird billion-year-old extraterrestrial horrors, even weirder extraterrestrial hierarchies, I think? And the extraterrestrial horrors start murdering one another and things get super weird. I’m about halfway through. It’s. Got. Everything.
My internet is down, and unfortunately, I’ve taken too much melatonin. Does anyone have the halftime score for the Cal-UCLA game?
Welcome back stranger. I tied at eleventy.
Shouldn’t you be asking about their payola numbers? Scores are for the rubes who actually give a shit about the sport, not the weasels at those two schools.
Good morning all!
Today, we have a couple of lovely songs from The Byrds.

Good morning Beau. You are on early. Back to win comment of the day again? I dont think anyone has ever done that two days in a row.
Eh. Up early because a) I couldn’t sleep and b) it’s good to get to the laundry room ahead of the competition ;-\
(I didn’t know ‘comment of the day’ was a thing)
Good morning to you and yours!
Good morning! 15 minutes until it’s time to go to the diner, then back and take Lily to the dog park, then find paperwork and ammo for the first Kayaderosseras Winter Steel of the season.

It is hard to sip my coffee when I am slobbering and lusting so hard.

‘Lusting soft’ would seem to be either an oxymoron or a flat-out contradiction in terms 😉
I’ll just assume a gun video and take a pass like I do for nearly all YT posted here…Nothing personal, honestly. It’s just that Youtube’s algorithm is exceedingly heavy handed and over-saturates my feed for days on end whenever I view anything that deviates from my usual fair of history, mythology, the esoteric, and sports.
….Why in the hell am I so bitchy this morning? Sorry, all. Suthen and UCS in particular…I’ll piss off now.
Nah it’s history and sentimental
You’re not bitchy every morning? :-p
I do love me some hard wood. At some point I want a nice woodshop of my own with my own sawmill.
Good morning, Beau, Suthen, and NA (wherever you are by now.) Time for chai latte and choral music for me! 😊☕📻🎶
