Wow. You’d think we were running a fundraiser with all the content we’re throwing out today, but no. We can’t seem to get all our shit in one sock when it comes to raising money. Sloopy, beat the orphans harder. They forgot to remind us to get the tipjar set up again. On to the links
- Kevin D Williamson has a first-class rant against right-wing stupidity in NR. I remember when that publication used to have these sorts of columns on the regular.
- It is my contention that US O&G will do more for world freedom than any actual diplomacy we engage in in the 2010s. Sadly, it did not load from the terminal I worked on building.
- Oh. Is Macron going to play the bad boy now?
- I always knew Steely Dan was some sort of cover. Only a government project would name itself after a Bill Borroughs dildo
Have a little AM Gold to take you into the weekend.

Today is Canadian Tax Freedom Day, i.e. every dollar the average Canadian made up until this point is tax revenue.
Cue State Propaganda desperately attempting to justify itself and its funding while smearing the concept.
The Great Bled White North.
*applause*
But how many of those dollars are real dollars?
Is this the part where you make fun of our Monopoly money?
Damn straight it is. I can’t even name most of those fruity colors.
We have Spock on our money, your argument is invalid.
Fascinating
I am jealous of Canada’s Spock bucks.
Americans are soooo predictable with their humour. It’s why we have to subsidize comedy for them.
Exactly. It’s always “durrhurr, flappy heads, maple syrup, ur moneyz gay” If it weren’t for our John Candys and what-not they’d be a cultural wasteland.
Just face it: Canada sucks. That’s why all your comedians run away to America.
By this standard California is the best state, and I refuse to accept that.
That…is a good point.
California is the best place. The state government may be completely fucked up, but California itself is the very best place there is.
I’m going to take a page from the Greco-Romans and say California is actually the worst place because of geographical determinism. The Greeks thought that your environment determined the success and nature of your society. So the colder, northern parts of Europe created degenerate, uncultured barbarians because they couldn’t farm, while the Orient, where food could be easily produced and the weather was great, produced decadent, spoiled rotten societies.
California is the Orient of America.
Rebuttal: California has a film industry because nearly every conceivable environment is within a few hours drive of LA. We have deserts, mountains, forests, plains, dry lakes, actual lakes, and virtually everything else. There are plenty of places in California where the weather is absolutely miserable (San Francisco 90% of the year), and plenty where it’s amazing (my home town).
I’m sorry, I was too busy watching men and women play beach volleyball in skimpy bathing suits year round to care about geographic determinism.
You see, decadence. You got to fight for and treasure your titties and dicks or they’re meaningless.
Almost a perfectly backward description of human evolution.
You see, decadence. You got to fight for and treasure your titties and dicks or they’re meaningless.
That’s just silly. Bounty gives you an appreciation for quality over quantity…Although when it comes to sexy people in skimpy clothing, we have both in spades.
It’s true. It’s why they give me a subsidy to live here.
Circa 3rd century B.C. they were pretty spot on.
Bounty gives you an appreciation for quality over quantity…
Bounty inherently diminishes the value of the goods, as all things economic.
And the maple isn’t even a real tree! It’s a juice bush!
Californians take their state for granted!
And Jim Carrey negates all of that.
…and Celine Dion and Rush.
…and Celine Dion and Rush.
Now them’s fighting words on libertarian forums.
As does Samantha Bee
I knew it wouldn’t be a popular comment, but I just can not stand them. I will freely admit that they are great musicians. I just can’t listen to their songs. I think it’s Geddy’s voice that most annoys me.
^^^THIS^^^
I SHOULD like Rush, but his voice is like two cats fighting on a chalkboard.
Subsidize? I thought the comedy exports were reparitions for Bryan Adams and Celine Dion.
And let us not forget the chemical warfare that is now referred to as Degrassi.
We send a yearly tribute of hot women south as well. That could change.
What’s Shania Twain up to these days?
50ish.
A damn fine 50ish, I would say.
unnecessarily adding the letter u to humor doesn’t count as a subsidy.
The funny Canadians go to the US to make a success of themselves. The rest stay behind and bitch about what an evil place they think the US is.
Just like the UK. Anyone funny, talented, or attractive moves to America.
Let the record show that Negroni considers Justin Bieber funny, talented and/or attractive.
http://www.businessinsider.com/justin-bieber-miley-cyrus-face-photo-2014-1
He snuck in by mistake. They thought he was Miley Cyrus and sadly she’s a citizen here
It’s entirely possible to be a successful Canadian in the U.S. and still bitch about what an evil place it is, thank you very much.
So explain Red Green and Wayne & Shuster smarty-pants!
I can’t. I don’t know what those things are. Is that more small market garbage like the rest of Canada’s televised high school talent(less) shows?
Hey, we make the best white trash television in the Western world. Red Green, Trailer Park Boys, Letterkenny.
How could you forget Check it Out?!?

Red Green isn’t funny. Maybe some SWPL types enjoy it, but that doesn’t mean it’s funny.
Speaking of boomer SWPL types, the local classical music station just finished up its quarterly begathon. One time I tuned in, and they were playing Tom Lehrer.
Red green is hilarious and I’ll fight you!!
How would you approach it if u were us? Genuinely curious, next month I’m going near border of Canada and may try and find an open mic which would be a good place to do a Canada joke or two if I can write a couple
Not….sure.
Canada: What’s the point?
Canada: The cabin in the woods America forgot.
I googled best Canada joke and got this:
“A Newfie, a Québécois, and an Albertan find a lamp and rub it. Out comes a genie that offers them 3 wishes.
The Newfie wishes for the Atlantic ocean to be teaming with Cod again so he could be a fisherman like his father, grandfather and great grandfather before him.
The Québécois wishes for a big wall to be built around the province of Quebec in order to keep the English influence out for ever.
The Albertan asks the genie what this wall was about. Genie says that the wall is 1000 feet high and 100 feet wide, there isn’t a thing getting through it!
He says good enough, for my wish, fill it with water.”
Works for me
Sean is the vicar of a Protestant parish in western Newfoundland, and Patrick is the priest at the Roman Catholic Church across the road. One day they are seen together, erecting a sign which says:
“THE END IS NEAR.
TURN YOURSELF AROUND NOW
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.”
As a car speeds past them, the driver leans out his window and yells “Leave people alone, you religious nutters. We don’t need your lectures.”
From around the next curve they hear screeching tires and a big splash. Shaking his head, Father Patrick says “Dat’s da terd one dis mornin’.”
“Yaa,” Sean agrees, then adds, “Do ya tink maybe da sign should just say
“BRIDGE CLOSED”?
I’ve been to Moosejaw.
I’ve always wanted to go to Flin Flon.
Depending on the province everyone likes you shit-talking the other local province, i.e. if you’re in B.C. (Canada’s California) you shit on Alberta (Canada’s Texas). Making fun of the French plays well to English crowds. In general just knowing something about Canada that’s weird or dumb plays better than the tired as fuck stereotypes (politeness, maple syrup, etc.).
What do you do about Labrador and Nunavut?
Obviously complain about Toronto or Ottawa.
Pssssh, your money and labor belongs to the government. If you would have read the Social Contract you signed when you exited your Mother’s womb, you would have known that.
So you’re only slaves for the first half of the year?
UNAHVURSAL HELTHCAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!!!!1!!11ELEVEN!!!11!!
Keeping the White Walkers out isn’t cheap.
Hey all,
I’m a long time lurker, first time poster. I followed over from the other place and I’m not Tulpa (I promise). This place has a much better vibe and I wanted to say hi and thank you to all of you who help me procrastinate my day away while I’m at work.
Welcome home. Just don’t mention that other site again or they will ban your ass.
The TSTSNBN thing was an organic community development. The only thing the site staff discourages is spleening incessantly about H&R or the commenters who didn’t come over…It lacks class, even by our admittedly low standards.
We have tons of class here. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
*goes back to watching Ow, My Balls and batin’ *
Tons of class *and* meticulous attention to prose styling. Sheesh.
I thought newbies were supposed to be told to fuck off before anyone started being nice to them?
I know, right?
My first week posting at The Other Place, Old Man With Candy teased me after I’d just found out a neice of mine was molested at age 8-9 and I lost it on a guy who’s handle linked to NAMBLA.
That was an eye-opener.
I followed over from the other place and I’m not Tulpa (I promise).
Just what tulpa would say!
Doh!
Look at it this way- this site was started by a husband-and-wife team of a redneck and a child molester, a bear, Ted Kaczynski, a guy with a criminal mom, a guy who squints, a poop-obsessed gamer, a political slash-fic porn writer, a guy with the most horrifying YouTube history you could imagine…. So that pretty much set the tone.
Speaking of people who started the site (or at least, were here when it began), what happened to the good Doctor Groovus?
We wonder that ourselves. And we worry and hope he’s OK.
Groovus has gone quiet. I was in intermittent personal contact with him, and my last message to him, over a week ago, has gone unanswered.
I hope he’s ok.
My mom is an alleged criminal. Alleged.
You know I keep hearing about this but what is the sloopys mom story?
Here’s a (((summary))).
I’ve got them all sorted out except for Ted Kaczynski and the guy who squints.
*narrows gaze*
Here’s 20 minutes of drunk people being interviewed.
Happy Friday!
https://twitter.com/yashar/status/873257296603734016
Stupid has been raised to eleven
I can’t even follow wtf they’re babbling about anymore. There’s not even any crime alleged. WTF is anyone “testifying” about?
3 on 3 basketball added to Olympics. Weightlifting, track events cut. Some mixed sports added which should be interesting.
Dude, ping pong is in the Olympics. PING PONG.
Have to bring up those Asian medals count, amirite?
I always laugh whenever I see the list of North American Olympians and see ping-pongers. Like they’re gonna win anything.
Waste of time and money. Put them in ribbon twirling or something.
It’s called rhythmic gymnastics Rufus. And when you can bend over like that, you can criticize.
What makes you think I can’t?
A friend who grew up in China says over there Ping-Pong is called the equivalent of “National Ball”.
He might be yanking my chain, but seems believable.
And “ping pong” is just a racist name for the game, like “African handball”.
A beter racist name for it would be something like “Ling Pong” or “Chin Chong”
For the record, I think “African handball” is hilarious and I refuse to refer to the game as anything else at this point.
I had a friend that called in African Ballet. I thought that was kind of classy in a really racist way.
That’s barely racist. Just racist enough to be funny however.
The simplest solution would have been to drop soccer.
Considering its played as an under-23 tourney (mostly), that seems the best approach.
I figure if the sport has another tournament that it values more than winning a gold medal (i.e. World Cup) it doesn’t need to be in the Olympics.
Dude, if you eliminate Hockey from the Olympics, how are the Canadians going to win a championship?
I would make a distinction between tournaments for national sides and tournaments for club sides. Hockey remains in the winter Olympics for that reason.
But by your reasoning, golf and tennis are out. And I’d agree with that, even though tennis’ inclusion in the Olympics made Russian tennis the powerhouse it is.
Curling, duh. Curling is for reals too.
So in addition to Soccer, I think from the Summer games that would knock out:
Golf
Tennis
Men’s Basketball
Boxing
Wrestling? At least in the Heavyweight division?
I hate every ape I see, from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Z…
(this doesn’t work so well in Canada)
“But, you’ve finally made a monkey”
“Yes we’ve finally made a monkey”
“Out of meeeee! I love you Dr. Zayes”
Zaius!
On kind of the same subject, the trailer for War for the Planet of the Apes looks awesome. The reboot series has been excellent to this point.
In Canada would it be Chimpan-Zed?
And Zed Mostel?
“Road hog!!”
CNN personality demands Trump unblock her on Twitter so she can continue to call him a liar. Demonstrates that she doesn’t know what a “fact” actually is.
I think one of the funniest aspects of the Left is that not only do they want to insult you, they also want you to have to stand there in silence and take it. One of the best ways to deal with them is to tell them to fuck off and that you’re not playing their game.
See, if it’s just some random person on Twitter, whatever. But you work for CNN. Do you think you have any social capital whatsoever to run around screaming at how other people are liars? Trump’s got higher approval ratings than you for Christ’s sake.
Yeah, why should anyone be alarmed at swarms of armed police on the streets of London? That’s old hat. I remember all the similar scenes in the ’50s and ’60s.
Those weren’t police. Those were girls chasing the Beatles.
A life of crime…in pictures.
Meth is a hell of a drug.
Criminals don’t tend to be smart, but if you were dedicated to a life of crime, wouldn’t you want to limit easily visible identifying characteristics?
I’m just curious how much farther he has to go with the tats before people will think he’s part of a minstrel show.
The menstrual show was part of the AM Links.
That’s a bloody good joke!
You two have me seeing red!
Just go with the flow.
See: the first part of your statement.
The successful drug dealer I knew looked like an accountant – always dressed nicely with Nautica shirts and Dockers. He never got busted, only his heroin addiction stopped him.
Kind of like Daniel Craig in Layer Cake, huh?
You answered your own question.
I think crime would take a noticeable drop if we simply locked up anyone with a facial tattoo.
You go pick up Mike Tyson.
Now, this is how you do a face tattoo.
Wow, he’s even reasonably attractive in the first picture. Why?

“In a decisive repudiation of conservative tax-cutting philosophy, Kansas Republicans voted this week to reverse deep tax cuts enacted by Gov. Sam Brownback (R), a move that lays bare the challenges of one-party control and the risks for Republicans in Washington pursuing a similar policy at the national level.”
A progressive acquaintance I know is doing a victory dance on Facebook because of this article.
Thing is the tax breaks were working. Kansas has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
That what I was trying to tell the acquaintance but of course they believe that spending and taxing more creates growth and equality.
The left attack on Kansas never made a lick of sense. The economy was doing well and better than most of the rest of the country, but suddenly progressives cared about deficits again. Because that was the only metric I saw that was worse. Which still doesn’t actually prove the thesis of their typical argument that low taxes don’t produce growth.
Kansas didn’t even look that bad financially with the tax cuts. Dumb
One of my RSS feeds from New Zealand had an interview about this.
https://twitter.com/RitaPanahi/status/872601761101488133
To put a smile on your face
So, “antifa” progressives are pussies everywhere. Just so we’re clear.
That was my take away
Little bitches
I think KDW is off on this one, because the ‘Deep-State’ isn’t some organized conspiracy, it’s just Bureaucratic Inertia.
Tying it to boogie men (illuminati, Neo-Cons) belittles the problem of bureaucracy acting as an separate arm of the government.
Separate and mostly unaccountable.
But the various factions and agencies are in competition with each other so it makes it hard to just roll on and get whatever you want as a conspirator.
So they’re not all working against you all the time. And that’s something.
I’m not so sure – the government employee unions are by definition “organized”.
Yeah, but they’re an organized form of inertia. Their interest just forms around keeping the vig going.
My working hypothesis is that there is actually a small, competent deep state that acts very cautiously, subtly and infrequently. They are happy to let the inertia of the non-elite bureaucracy front for them.
You’re missing the point he’s making. The Bureaucratic Inertia exists. It is not on the first page of the problems Trump has right now. Blaming Trump’s (or Congress’s) mistakes on the Deep State will prevent any creditable attack on the problem.
I think that’s a fair statement, but I also think Williamson is overstating his case when he says (paraphrasing since fucking NR won’t let you copy and paste) that there isn’t a monolithic interest group with coordinated actions. The thing is, when the federal bureaucracy is embedded with the same kind of statist assholes everywhere, there doesn’t need to be coordinated action. That should have been obvious in the case of Lois Lerner and the IRS – no one at the IRS had to receive direct orders from the White House to do what they did because it was implicitly understood that what they were doing was of benefit to the White House. He’s right that there isn’t a secret network with a hierarchy issuing orders, but that doesn’t really matter.
aw hell
That’s what I think, too. I don’t think there’s a conspiracy, I just think that the civil service is chock full of the kind of people who believe firmly in the Top.Men. strategy of governance and believe in doing it good and hard. These are people with staggering amounts of power who aren’t elected and have been in the fed for decades, in some cases.
To be sure, they’ve earned their way into those positions of power by being good at their job.
He’s right that there isn’t a secret network with a hierarchy issuing orders, but that doesn’t really matter.
I think its a little more of a mixed bag. I think there is plenty of coordinate Deep Stating going on – this isn’t all spontaneous and random. And I don’t have any doubt that plenty of “guidance” comes down from on high – Lerner was in and out of the White House an awful lot, as were lots of union guys who have a lot of Deep State members.
Organized crime, as I understand it, doesn’t operate on clear directive orders, either. Its more of of a wink and a nod type deal, because wiretapping. But nobody doubts the organized crime outfits aren’t hierarchical, etc.
In British election news, I can’t help but notice a stark contrast between how the American media portrays Corbyn versus the British press (at least the little I’m exposed to). CNN found some bozo Bernie support to lionize him and argue that of course Bernie would have trounced Trump. Drudge has frequently run headlines praising him. Meanwhile, most analysts I’ve seen indicate that Labour likely could have made far larger gains if only it wasn’t for Corbyn. They won in spite of him.
Of course, if May wasn’t a halfwit, the conservatives likely get their clean majority and trounce Labour.
Why does the left feel the compulsive need to make it all about cult of personality?
I also can’t help but feel that the moderate shift after this election is being exaggerated. The results are completely indecisive despite a disastrous campaign run by May and you wouldn’t even know from the headlines that the conservatives are still going to eek out a government. This reminds me quite a bit of the headlines run when Democrats supposedly do better than expected in various races. That cunt Corbyn actually got out there and acted like voters were really giving him a mandate to form a government.
Basically, what ended up happening was voters maintained the status quo for the most part. Unless I’m just that clueless on British electoral politics.
Because that’s all they have. When you strip Obama down, you see an individual who lacks any sort of original ideas and who has the intellectual curiosity of a fruit fly. He had no substance whatsoever, so they had to create this aura around him to make him palatable to the voting public.
^This*1000
Substitute “Trudeau” or “Macon” or the next great blank slate as well.
Superficially-charismatic blank slates are the only figures remaining on the left with mass appeal.
This guy hasn’t fucked up too badly yet. Let’s put him in charge of stuff!
Corbyn’s popularity is due to the fact that the left no longer cares about masks. Corbyn is an open communist, an open friend of terrorist groups, and an open anti-Semite, and he’s still popular.
And don’t even get me started on Diane Abbott, that fucking toad with half a brain.
If the Tories would just concentrate on letting people get wealthy and stay away from all this invasive snooping crap they’d never lose. But you got these paranoics at the top of the party that just can’t let that shit go.
People want to be wealthier, they do not want to be spied on, Theresa. Have you learned that yet you dried-up-rancid-apricot-clitted bitch?
Apricot?
Yes.
With Muslims come a security state. If anyone in power remains unwilling to name the actual problem, the rights of the real British people will erode so that Ahmed will get free dental care.
What’s their alternative? They certainly can’t make it about facts or actual issues.
I think they’re lionizing Corbyn simply because he’s TEAM LEFT. They simply don’t know what a disaster he is.
Corbyn is largely seen in Britain as an idiot, his approval ratings were absolute trash for the entirety of the campaign, half his own party hates him because they think he’s too extreme, and him and his flunkies keep embarrassing the shit out of Labour (see his nuke comment, the one guy giving speeches at Stalinist rallies, Abbott saying nice things about Mao).
American news media will lionize him because Leftist solidarity and they’re outside looking inside. Inside Britain there’s much more exposure to what kind of person he is.
Yeah but they cropped the hammer and sickle banners out of the shot of him giving the speech to Stalinists, so it was very inspiring!
BOOBIES!

Happy Friday.
God bless you
Mercy Mercy Mercy
All of them at once. But particularly #6 and #10.
Not worth turning off adblock.
I’ll go with numbers 5 and 8.
With all the hysteria on the Left, I wonder if we are entering into open civil war.
With the DNC so completely consumed by radical leftism now, I don’t see how this ends in anything other than blood – unless they start shedding followers rapidly.
I think there will be a turning point when the so-called antifa actually kill one or more people in a riot. That will scare off most people, especially given their tendency to turn on their allies.
http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-welch-comey-testimony-trump-20170608-story.html
I’m throwing this out there again. It’s written by a certain editor of a certain publication of which we are all aware. It’s a good article.
Welch is very diplomatic when anyone still crying obstruction is just retarded and/or disingenuous. Hillary was destroying electronic devices with hammers and having lawyers without security clearances delete 30,000 emails and these cunts didn’t care about obstruction.
They deserve nothing more than to be roundly mocked.
Welch is too nice to team blue here. He should hammer on the DNC criminality/rigged election like a sledgehammer. Same for Clinton’s actions to undermine any investigation into her while at State. Same for the DNC’s refusal to turn servers over to FBI while Comey is out there saying for sure they were hacked by the Russians.
Furthermore, why is nobody saying anything about what Comey actually said yesterday: that Russia has been trying to influence our elections since forever. And that plenty of nations routinely engage in this activity and always have.
Because that’s an important FACT that needs to be repeated over and over again. This is status quo, not some earth-shattering one off scandal.
This is the aspect that annoys me the most. Everyone is pretending that the recent hackery-of-stuff by “russian-connected-groups” is some new and pernicious phenomenon.
The reality is that not only are they doing it, dozens of other groups, connected to dozens of other foreign governments (as well as Chinese business interests) have been doing it every year during every election… since the invention of the personal computer. And they also do it in non-election years, and in both political and non-political ways. EVERYONE FUCKING “HACKS” EVERYTHING.
Its not some conspiracy to influence the results of elections = its bloody *routine snooping*. Most of the time the organizations doing it just do it because they can – because its something to do. Not because it serves any particular geopolitical strategy or tangible objectives. Its just information-hoovering for the sake of info-hoovering.
And guess who invented that (#U*@($ practice??
Didn’t we just get done explaining to Americans that the NSA can snoop on any fucker on earth as long as he isn’t a US Citizen? did that tidbit somehow slip by people? Do you think the emails of Russian political figures are somehow less-hacked than american ones?
The entire narrative of “Russian Hacking!” is based on purposely perpetuating IGNORANCE of how the world actually works. It relies on public myths. And the media purposely perpetuates these myths because its convenient for them.
This is why i fucking hate journalists these days. They’re not interested in the truth, they’re interested in pumping contrived Soap Operas for clicks.
I’m reminded of a scandal in the late ’90’s that was downplayed that involved a lot of Chinese money flowing into the DNC and Clinton campaign coffers. You don’t even need to go back that far, frankly. But that was directly related to foreign entities influencing a campaign. And there’s hard evidence in the public domain proving it.
You’re right, you don’t have to go that far back.
There’s also Podesta getting a massive investment from an energy company funded by the Kremlin. And then other former officials. Bill being paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow while she was Secretary of State. And Podesta and the Clintons failed to disclose much of it.
The Chinese shit also continued through her time as Secretary of State. Bill was a paid advisor for the Chinese while his wife was negotiating with them. Think about that one for a moment.
Dude, seriously?
/Brooklyn hipster.
There’s also that = that these contrived narratives serve mainly to obfuscate real sources of corruption and influence.
And there was no clearer case of ‘horrifying corruption of US politicians’ than Clinton and her faux-charity foundation. Real money flowed constantly between foreign states and Clinton subordinates.
And yet you have @)#(*$@ self-important journos pretending that some server in a Trump hotel getting pinged by some server in Russia is potential evidence of …..something.
And the purpose is to make it sound like ballot boxes were being stuffed, and voting machines tampered with. I know several people for whom this is the understanding, and they will not listen to an actual explanation of what the actual “hacking” concern is and what it uncovered.
They are very confident in their ability to push this narrative as well. I haven’t seen any real attempts to refute the dirty laundry being aired by those alleged hacks, just a bunch of hand waving and vague non-explanations.
“As Comey himself pointed out back when he declined to prosecute Hillary Clinton over her use of a personal email server, criminal intent matters.”
Wrong. WRONG. WRONG!
Exactly. She knew damn well she was breaking the law. After all, she’s been around politics for 30 years and was a lawyer FFS.
So spare me the benefit of the doubt angle with that lying degenerate.
No peon working in a position requiring a clearance would EVER get away with the Costanza defense. Ever.
Also, I’m just going to repeat that the “collusion” claim, all this awful smoke that keeps getting referenced, is nothing more than typical behavior. Members of a transition team speaking to Russians isn’t indicative of anything nefarious. It’s business as usual and proper.
This is an entire narrative and, laughably enough, criminal investigation cobbled out of thin air by a Department of Justice and FBI that didn’t deem there to be enough evidence to investigate the Clinton Foundation. It was initiated by that shitheel James Clapper. A guy who not only has lied to Congress openly, but who has actually voted communist and is little more than a partisan Democratic stooge.
The “collusion” investigation shouldn’t even exist to begin with. It’s entirely political.
Meanwhile, is it time to call Islamic violence in Western Europe an Insurgency? It seems to be taking on the pace and scope of a revolution (despite the politicians’ efforts to call it criminal behavior by a few bad apples).
TURN OFF THE FUCKING SIDEBAR!!!!
What sidebar?
Australian Antifas attack an old conservative columnist – and get punched in the face for their troubles.
Scroll up to comment 11. Great video there.
Andrew Bolt hardened the fuck up.
The bizarre thing about that is that those pussies are filming him like they’re going to catch him doing something wrong. They film themselves attacking him as if they’re going to get some great footage where they can say “See??? He’s violent!!!”
Yeah some good advise I got as a kid was: if you are going to do something criminal, don’t film it.

“I always knew Steely Dan was some sort of cover”
Speaking of Steely Dan covers, did you know Phil Hartman did the cover for “AJa”? Somehow I didn’t learn this until recently.
? The american flag in shadow thing?
*correction = its a photo of a japanese kibuki (or noh?) actress.
“”The cover photo by Hideki Fujii features Japanese model and actress Sayoko Yamaguchi.[8][“”
You’re right PH did design it – but apparently his design contribution was just choosing the photo. It is a wonderful cover tho.
He was good at it, too. http://r1creative.net/blog/album-covers-designed-by-legendary-comedian-phil-hartman/
The cover for America’s Greatest Hits is a classic. I had no idea it was him.
He is no Roger Dean.
And Roger Dean wasn’t much of actor.
of *an* actor.
I recommend http://www.badgerandblade.com for those of you interested in wet shaving and other pursuits of manliness (and womanliness, but there are no female libertarians, so I’ll not bother). They are focused on wet shaving, but have good communities surrounding firearms, pipes and cigars, men’s fashion, cooking, and more.
Wet shaving works better when done right than shaving cream. I had the worst issue with bumps when I used to use the cream in the Army until I switched to just water.
Are there libertarians out there that still use shaving cream? I thought that was one of the things we had all agreed upon.
When my electric is out of charge I use shaving cream.
I shave my head and beard down to the stubble once per month at best. I basically shave once my wife’s bitching gets to be more of a bother than the enjoyment I get from being a heterosexual bear.
My wife stopped bitching about it, and negotiated a deal where she stops shaving when I do.
IDK what the hell is wrong with your wives. If I shave off my beard my girlfriend makes fun of me until it grows back.
I guess I’m just that handsome underneath all the fur.
This. Wife says I’m too babyfaced, so I keep at least a day’s worth stubble. I use my razor to trim the beard up.
I have another issue. If I grow it out I don’t look like a viking, I look like a terrorist.
I didn’t realize that. But checking in with agreement. Every 3 years when I shave, Hot Water is all I use. I used shaving cream like 1 or 2 times when I was 16 or something. Figured out quickly it was a scam.
I use a Merkur safety razor and soap. Great shave compared to the multi-blade cartridge.
I use a Merkur razor too, but with Aveeno shave gel and it is a great shave. Plus the cost savings is fantastic with the double edge blades over multi-blade systems.
Nice! I’m currently using a 1957 Gillette SuperSpeed. I started with a Merkur, but found out that you can get all sorts of nice safety razors on ebay for really cheap.
I need to get some good soap. I have been using some stuff from some random lady at a farmer’s market, but it doesn’t lather right.
I have an early ’60s Slim adjustable.

Still No Evidence Democrats Ever Commit Voter Fraud, As Long As You Never Look For Any
This particular scam runs rampant in Columbus around the OSU campus every single election year.
But, but, but there’s no evidence that any of those false registrations actually voted.
On an earlier post someone asked about what to do with desk jockey back pain. I’m not a desk jockey but I’ve had an inversion table for about a year and my back hasn’t bothered me since. Used to act up once every couple months.
Thanks. Aside from getting more active I may look into something like this. The best thing so far is taking baths in the morning. The pain is the worst in the morning and my back is stiff. The bath seems to take all of the weight and stress off of it.
Now I just need to find some heroine…
I cannot believe I made it through 8 hours at work today. Perimenopause is no joke.
How to cure your perimenopause.
She has amazing tits.
Perimenopause is no joke.
True, but there are compensations. My wife hasn’t menstruated in over a year, and she’s just fine with that.
I’m not to that point yet (hence the “peri” prefix). I pray for the sweet release of actual menopause. Every month. Every fuckng month.
My wife takes some kind hormone to turn her soaker hose off.
How do you make a hormone?
Technically, her gyno says she’s still in the “peri” part. Whatevs — she’s just really happy she doesn’t need the damn pads any more.
Me too.

ooh I had central air installed today. No more crappy window units and walls that are wet with
bloodwater from the humidity.You have humidity out in the wastelands?
deep in the caves, brother.
My house was built in 1920, and someone installed central air/heating after it was built. I wish they would have planned this shit out better, because they put vents in some of the most inconvenient places. There’s are two vents in the living room that basically make one side of the room unable to accommodate a couch or entertainment center. They also ran a big duct up from the crawlspace through a downstairs closet, but they just cut a bigass square hole in the closet floor and ran the duct through, so there was this giant gap of several inches where mice and bugs could (and did) come in from the crawlspace until my dad and I built a wooden thing to fit around it.
My place was built in the 60s but also didn’t come with central air. The original owners, when getting central A/C installed (there’s a gas boiler and baseboard radiators for heat), decided not to run any vents into the bathrooms (which also have no fans) yet ran not 1 but 2 vents out to a sun room that was built on top of a deck. Yep, definitely a smart idea to pour A/C into a room that is, at best, only partially insulated, and whose walls are half glass. Utterly brilliant.
Had ours installed last summer. Awesome. Now I just laugh when the electric bill comes. I’ll take getting a good night’s sleep and elevated electric bills over the multi-week sleep deprivation the neighbours get every July/August.
Crazy ass police chase in Ft Worth today. THe actual chase wasn’t caught by the news cameras, but the aftermath was something. From what I can tell, the driver was eventually apprehended. Not sure about other injuries.
LIve Ft Worth news says the person in the burned out car behind the flat bed somehow GTFO of there.
So, I wonder just how many crimes Comey committed or admitted to yesterday? Here’s a partial list:
(1) Perjury. He claimed he didn’t know of any kind of memo on Lynch’s recusal from the Clinton investigation. Unfortunately, the FBI shows that he was sent the email outlining the recusal, and that he received and read it.
(2) Theft. The memo Comey kept and leaked was government property, not his personal property.
(3) National Security. Its not clear the memo contained classified information, but if it did, he broke the national security laws.
He protected the powerful, they’ll protect him.
Only little people go to jail RC.
I have no doubt that there will be zero consequences, but think about it. This guy just committed or admitted to committing crimes, while under oath, on national TV, and Nothing Else Will Happen.
