Sunday Morning Post Chaos Links

Well, we survived the kids’ party yesterday. They all ran around screaming and unattended upstairs while the dads, moms, and otherkins sat downstairs drinking heavily. We’re still cleaning up. But there were only two ER trips, the cops only came once for a welfare check, and CPS promises the kids will be released before the end of next week, assuming a responsible party. So I call this a victory.

And in a sense, bearing children is a sort of victory, and birthdays today include the Skipper (who also had a small role in the greatest baseball movie ever made); one of the biggest pieces of shit to ever serve on the Supreme Court; the finest pair of legs in the 20th century; a shitty pitcher who wrote a funny damn book; a pretty damn good first baseman; a piece of shit politician– but I repeat myself; an actually interesting actress; the last Monkee; a guy who really got to the core of the issue and was on balance a truly decent human being; the dirtiest guy ever named Smiley; and a candidate for the finest pair of Khazar milkers of the 21st century.

As much as I’d like to squeeze milkers, I first have to do Links.

I am unhappy that the US is involved but if we’re going to be involved, don’t half-ass it. And get the fuck out when it’s done.

But the Iranian president assured us that they would not attack Arab states. This must be fake news.

“Next!”

“See, we have these explosive cigars. It can’t miss this time!”

An alternate take on Thom Hartmann’s favorite hobby horse.

The ratchet effect in action. Once a grift is in place, it must continue to exist for eternity.

A student at Mohel Academy was cut from the program.

Gordie is just delightful.

I love the idea of R. Lee Ermey running a kitchen. Non-paywall version.

This was Spud’s and my favorite store. I shall brook no criticism of it.

If we’re going to do a war, please try to target “influencers.”

After yesterday’s sidetrack into Prog Rock, the Old Guy returns to his roots, high energy bop. You’ll thank me for this one. Trivia note: I met and chatted with Cole one time. It was in a men’s room, adjacent urinals, between sets of a show. We didn’t shake hands.

    Mornin’ all!

    DEATH TO DST!

    • Old Man With Candy

      I fucking hate it.

      • Beau Knott

        “We have 10 feet of rope but we need 11.”
        “Cut 1 foot off one end and knot it to the other.”
        “Brilliant!”

    • juris imprudent

      I for one was tired of my dogs waking me up at 6:30 (and eventually earlier), so I’m not entirely annoyed.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      What happened to all that talk from several years ago of getting rid of it? At one point it seemed like the time shifts being over was a done deal.

      • R C Dean

        What, do you think Congress is in the business of actually doing shit that people want done?

      • (((Jarflax

        People liked the idea. Congress never does anything people like. Best they can offer is to name a law something people like while writing it to be as evil as possible.

      • Threedoor

        The fuds and east coasters want to make standard time permanent.

        The east coast people need another time zone and make DST permanent.

    • Drake

      Seriously fuck this.

      Skipping Sunday school this morning. My wife might be ready in time for the 11am service.

    • EvilSheldon

      Yay DST!

      Now I can do outside stuff after work without being in the dark!

      DST should be year-round.

      • Ted S.

        Agreed, and I say this as someone who works the early shift.

      • Pope Jimbo

        Uffda. No way DST should become a year-round thing.

        Just because you slug-a-beds don’t like waking up in the morning, the rest of us industrious people should be punished.

        I’d rather have daylight to go fishing before work, than to have time to do chores after work.

      • Threedoor

        ES is bating 1000 this week.

      • juris imprudent

        bating 1000

        Even for a Glib, that’s impressive.

      • Tonio

        I could live with that. It’s the twice-yearly change that is the problem.

      • Threedoor

        Granted I didn’t have signal for a day.

    • Not-so Rugged Individualist Hobbit

      I thought ending DST was one of Trump’s promises during the campaign.

      • Old Man With Candy

        So was staying out of foreign wars.

      • DrOtto

        Did he ever say anything about starting foreign wars?

      • Tonio

        It was. And failure to keep that promise is one of my greatest disappointments in him.

      • Threedoor

        It’s not a new war.
        It’s a kinetic military engagement.

        Totally different.

  2. Ted S.

    This was Spud’s and my favorite store. I shall brook no criticism of it.

    It’s not a meatball if it doesn’t contain meat.

      • Pope Jimbo

        Kosher has been redefined ever since (((Kermit))) started eating pork.

      • Tres Cool

        Whats green and smells like pork?

        Kermit’s finger.

  3. Tres Cool

    Khazar milkers?
    No love for Abby Shapiro?

    • Old Man With Candy

      Milana doesn’t have an annoying brother.

      • Tres Cool

        Im sure he could be overlooked.

    The assembly met, mostly online, on Thursday to discuss the appointment after “heavy pressure” from the Revolutionary Guards to appoint Mojtaba.

    So Zoom instead of boom? Plus a little praetorian influence?

    • R C Dean

      The IRGC has already shrugged off the shackles of the government, bombing who they want, when they want, even after being told to knock it off.

      • EvilSheldon

        The IGRC, as I understand it, has always operated outside direct control of the Council of Guardians. As in, the CoG provides funding and maybe the target deck, but they’re not giving direct day-to-day orders.

    • Threedoor

      DST is the future.
      Live in the future.

  5. The Hyperbole

    While it blows as a super power, at least my complete indifference to a one hour time change allows me to feel smug and superior twice a year.

    • Beau Knott

      As much as we love and appreciate you, I don’t think anyone believes for a femtosecond that you only feel smug and superior twice a year 😉

      • slumbrew

        Harsh, but accurate.

    • rhywun

      Yeah, it doesn’t bother me in the least.

      I lose or gain an hour here and there all the time from lack of or too much sleep. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      • Oy the Billy-Bumbler

        I’m with Rhywun.

        No biggie. And where I’m at in the Eastern Time zone we stay light past 10 pm in the summer months. It’s glorious.

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        i just wish they would pick one or the other, this cannot be good for business’s.

    • Grumbletarian

      Yeah, it’s like bitching about jetlag when you’ve only crossed one time zone.

  6. R C Dean

    Far from typical meat, this meatball featured plant protein mixed with pork fat scientists concocted in a lab.

    So, not a meatball at all.

    It never ceases to amaze me when “vegans” go all in on what is probably the most hyper processed food you can find anywhere.

  7. juris imprudent

    The judge’s ruling that Kari Lake’s actions shall have no force or effect is a powerful step toward undoing the damage she has inflicted on this American institution that we love

    I honestly can’t think of one single Cold War artifact that doesn’t need to be fed through a wood chipper, and if there are people that insist on going along with it, so be it.

    • (((Jarflax

      The Apollo landers don’t deserve wood chipping, but they are around 240,000 away from the nearest chipper so they will be fine. Chip away!

    • SDF-7

      I’m honestly getting to the point that I think anything from the Civil War or later should be trashed and we should clean slate the entire government stack (local to Fed, top to bottom). Leviathan feeds itself at this point, after all… and I sincerely don’t see any real reason why our lives require so much more micromanagement (beyond the obvious mob voting itself other’s stuff, duh…).

  8. juris imprudent

    I thought it was still mired in delays.

    The ambitious $850 million project, which includes plans for a museum, Obama Foundation offices, a branch of the Chicago Public Library and a playground, is setting records as the longest-delayed and most expensive presidential library in history.

    • The Other Kevin

      It’s setting records! It has to be good!

    • (((Jarflax

      Obama Foundation sounds like a terrorist organization to me.

      • Gender Traitor

        Obama should have been in the foundation when they poured it.

    • rhywun

      “Hope is coming home”

      …in the form of a gigantic monument to myself.

      You’re welcome, Chicago!

      • juris imprudent

        In fairness, Obama is behind Johnson in fucking over Chicago right now.

  9. rhywun

    “Next!”

    “Not it!”

    • Pope Jimbo

      You have to think that this is the best time ever for low level Iranian bureaucrats.

      All those self-promoting jackasses who have been climbing over you to get to the top of the govt totem pole are now getting blown up. Even better, as each crop of “top level leadership” is executed, the next group is promoted to take their place. Whether they want it or not.

      Knowing bureaucracies, I bet that most of the ones getting promoted are still clueless pointy-turbanned bosses who are still dumb enough to not understand what they have gotten themselves into. They are gloating and picking out new prayer rugs for their office when the missile comes through the window and blows them up.

      It must be so satisfying to see your senior management turned into meat bits.

  10. rhywun

    ruling that the U.S. Agency for Global Media’s (USAGM) acting CEO, Kari Lake, unlawfully ran the independent federal agency

    That fiction needs to die a long, excruciating death.

  11. Drake

    I know fiscal conservativism is permanently out of favor, but how much is this war costing? Maybe it wasn’t Trump bluster when he talked about a $1.5 trillion defense budget.

    We have 8 THAAD systems in the world. Wikipedia says the battery costs $800 million and each missile costs $12 million. 4 of those batteries are now at least damaged.

    Happy birthday Lynda Carter! She’s not a bad singer” either, really.

      • juris imprudent

        She could’ve been carried by tentacles for all you knew, amirite?

      • Drake

        Puberty startes for me the day Wonder Woman premiered.

      • Ted S.

        She knew how to use them.

    • Tres Cool

      You misspelled Yvonne Craig.

      I shall seek my bunk.

  13. Old Man With Candy

    BTW, plug plug plug. Our beloved Gordie’s book drops this week. Purchase it.

    • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

      If you scroll down, this title looks interesting: Pandemic of Lunacy: How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy
      Staying sane—and grounded in the truth—amidst a world gone mad.

      • DrOtto

        This site is what kept me sane/less insane during the plandemic.

    “You’re in Dubai, aren’t you scared?” they ask, before responding, “No, because I know who will protect us” over an image of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum. It’s rare to see something that makes you feel grateful for the state of politics in Britain, but knowing that if missiles were to strike the UK no one would be contractually obliged to post photos of Keir Starmer as our great protector set to Fred Again is vaguely reassuring.

    It would be fun to watch, however.

    • Ted S.

      They wouldn’t post photos of Starmer; they’d post photos of the NHS.

  15. Threedoor

    Kahazr milkers.

    I was certain it was Ben Shapiros sister.

    I got Holmes at least.

      • Threedoor

        Commenting before I read the comments.

        I blame all the east coast people for getting up too early.

      • Tres Cool

        Sunday is typically when Tres Ver 2.0 and I have breakfast. I woke up literally 10 minutes before I had to leave- I have a 30 minute drive.
        My kid was half an hour late…

      • Ted S.

        What are alarm clocks for?

  16. Threedoor

    And Gords piece.

    Brutal but that is evolution in action.

    If you’re parked in the highway for any reason get the fuck out of the car and on the other side of the guard rail asap. Dead fools.

    • Oy the Billy-Bumbler

      I’m sure the car salesman trained them on the fact that if they were in an accident the fuel pump would shut off and the car would be a sitting duck.
      I’m certain of that.

      • DrOtto

        I have always known of this on Fords, unaware that Chevy was doing this.

      • Threedoor

        Ji had a 1990 Chevy do that to me.

        I’m smart enough to not have stayed in it in the dark on the exit ramp.

  17. DrOtto

    *looks at phone to see weather forecast* low of 62, high of 69 (giggity). Current temp, 54(?)

  18. Tres Cool

    “I met and chatted with Cole one time. It was in a men’s room, adjacent urinals, between sets of a show. We didn’t shake hands.”

    Did he say “hey- nice watch” ?

  19. Fourscore

    This morning Lindsey G explained that Iran has enough enriched uranium to make 11 (count ’em) 11 nukes and would hold the US hostage. Someone needs to tell him that the US has around 5500 nuke war heads and no one seems to be concerned.

    Either Lindsey went to public school and lacks math skills or needs something to stop the hallucinations.

    Israel’s inventory is unknown but estimated to be between 90-400. A first strike by Iran would be the last strike by Iran.

  20. The Late P Brooks

    Wait, what? It’s 9:30 already?

    DST FOREVER!

    “A heavily-tatted Ohio man was thrown behind bars after stray gunfire from his property allegedly hit two shoppers at a nearby grocery store, police said.

    Jayson Hall, 40, was firing shots from his property when one rogue bullet struck two people inside the lobby of a Maineville Kroger around 7:30 p.m. Friday, according to the Hamilton Township Police Department and local reports.

    Both victims were rushed to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.”

    Face tattoos and gun safety don’t mix?

    • DrOtto

      He seems prone to good decision making.
