War

With all the distractions going on, I wish to point out that, once again, the mainstream press is totally ignoring the war on Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I can talk like a Pirate!

"I know we haven't won a World Series since 1979, that's been 39 years, and we aren't going to win this year, but it could be worse. Take that team that plays in the Mistake by the Lake. You know, the one with the grinning lobotomized Native American as a mascot. They haven't won the Series since 1948. We've won three since then. The last time they were there, they managed to lose to the Chicago Cubs. That's just pathetic."

[Yes, I'm from the Pittsburgh area. We just don't like Cleveland that much here.]

Well, I'm from near Cleveland. Believe me, making fun of Chief Wahoo is likely to get you in big trouble around my house. Uh, and just to be clear, that was then, this is now. The Pirates are in second to last place in their division, 11 games out of first place. The Indians are 14 games ahead, in first place in their division. The Tribe graciously allowed the Cubs to break their hundred year world series drought. The Pirates, as I remember, were all on winter vacation at the time, if you get my drift.

What's your excuse for Cleveland choking away the 1997 Series?

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
