Welp, I can be sure that bitch Irma is no longer heading for me, as the county schools are closing down tomorrow and Friday. This guarantees Irma will pass us by and I will be trapped in my house with my family for the next two days. Vhyrus and JB have both not yet made offers to have me drive down and do something (anything!) to get away. But for you Glibs in South and East Florida, the offer to JB made in the Morning Links comments is good for all. Send me contact info at the submit@glibertarians.com email address and I’ll stand ready to help next week as soon as Irma passes through. Lemme know what you need if you get hit but can still communicate. And now… the links!
If anyone has 400 gallons of gas in South FL, this guy’s post may be inspiring. Not sure Austin, TX is the place for that.
Secure your power grid, Turkey!
I’m not saying Irma was caused by aliens, but the USAF is scrambling to launch a X-37 ahead of landfall.

Reason #21 skillion why Trump will win a second term:
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/amelia-hamilton/2017/09/06/american-horror-story-cult-premiere-sets-trump-fear
Full disclosure: I’ve never seen this show or Glee.
Ouch. That’s some stellar writing.
If the creator wasn’t a known Leftie, it’s so heavy-handed I’d think it was satire. Partisanship turns people into idiots.
Self awareness, what does it mean?
I’m pretty sure reading the unironic portrayal of Hillary supporters having a meltdown and waiting for Rachel Maddow to save them made it move.
Absolutely no self awareness from these dipshits
“We then go to Michigan were we meet same-sex married couple Ally (Sarah Paulson) and Ivy (Alison Pill) watching the election results with neighbors and having a meltdown. Meanwhile, a Trump supporter is shown humping his television screen. Literally.”
It’s exactly like reality. On a completely unrelated note, it would appear that Trump is going to be president forever because of stuff like this
This is one of the best links I’ve ever seen.
Sweet baby Jesus, that’s some bad writing
That reads almost like a leftist imagination of how a Trumper thinks they talk.
I enjoyed previous seasons. Usually the first half is pretty entertaining and then it jumps the shark hard. Hamlet it ain’t.
This one…I don’t know. I mean, there’s some entertainment in watching someone unintentionally produce satire, sure. On the other hand, I ain’t got time for that shit. I’m up to here with stupid and crazy.
I enjoyed the first three seasons, but I haven’t watched Freak Show yet. No intention of watching Hotel. Or the one after that… Or this one.
I understand it was her decision to leave, but when you lose Jessica Lange, I’m gone.
YES! Jessica Lange was the best part of the show. I think hotel was the last season I saw.
I had no idea who she was before the first season of AHS… But now I’m trying to find everything she was ever in and watch it because, damn, what a phenomenal actress.
Imagine “The Shining” with her instead of poor Shelley Duvall. Nicholson even suggested Lange play Wendy Torrance, but we were all robbed.
Check out “Blue Sky” – probably her best performance.
The postman always rings twice.
I had no idea who she was before the first season of AHS
You have got to be kidding me.
It was before my time!
Shelly Duval was perfectly cast as Olive Oil in Pop Eye, which you should never watch. Jessica was good in “Cape Fear” with Robert Dinero, which is inferior to “Cape Fear” with Gregory Peck, which you should watch.
Dinero was good in the remake
Robby Dinero was my nickname when i rolled with a bank-robbing gang
Was that the Gilmore Girls’s Gang?
That was when i was running a prostitution ring
I would have paid those girls good money to shut up.
That’s just because Jack wanted some of that.
And do you blame him? I want some of that now.
I will definitely check out Blue Sky and Cape Fear(s)!
Jack got some of that.
So he wanted more of that
Hotel was one of the good ones… but I didn’t like Asylum or Freak Show. Last season completely sucked. Ryan Murphy spends too much time writing for his friends, I think.
The dialog from the article sounds like he tested this by reading it to friends in his living room and called it good.
I really enjoyed Asylum, but my enjoyment of the series has waned as the series has gone on.
Murder House was the best, then Asylum, and Covenant was just OK. Could’ve done without the sorority sister thing, but the entire season was worth it for the brief appearances of Papa Legba and his strangely appealing…whatever-he’s-got-going-on.
Oh I forgot about Covenant. It had good parts and I’ll watch Angela Basset read a phone book. To Lance Riddick. As Papa Legba.
I actually hadn’t realized Papa Legba was “that guy.” Wow, I’ve seen him in a lot. I had no idea!
Yeah, I licked him in Fringe
Liked.lol
Asylum was my fav
I thought they were clearly making fun of the left snowflakes.
My BF asked me to download this for him. I don’t think he’s a regular viewer of AHS. Now I read this. Oh boy.
Sounds hilarious though

How to Talk about Hurricanes With Climate Change Deniers
Very deep. Very important.
So important. How to explain the vengeful sky wizard that punishes us for using carbon to slack jawed yokels? It’s tough being this smart
“My BA in Poststructural Queer, African Intersectional Literature, like, totes qualifies me to lecture you on meteorology you icky Deploranazi!”
“STFU and fuck off slaver”
I’m stealing all of that.
Deploranazi is particularly ingenious. Bravo!
DENIER! TIME FOR A DUNKING!
Hurricanes simply didn’t exist before global warming!!!
I love it when people say that hurricanes of this frequency and/or severity have “never been seen before in the history of the planet” because then I get to ask them, “did they have weather satellites in the year 1700?”
There was a hurricane in 1935 with 185 mile an hour winds. Interestingly enough, it was on labor day. They didn’t name storms back then, so it’s just called ‘Labor Day’.
Also, we don’t know what hurricanes looked like in ‘the history of the planet’ or if the even existed. But we do know there has been plenty of times that it was warmer than it is now.
I imagine that there were very few hurricanes during the Ice Age.
THIS is an ice age.
If we’re still in an interglacial period of the Pleistocene. I think that some sources have declared that the Pleistocene ended around 12.000 years ago. So are we currently still coming out of an ice age, or are we just in another interglacial period before the ice comes back once again?
weather isn’t climate i thought….(just ignore the decade of lite hurricane activity)
Look, yokel shitlord and denier. It is when we say it is, otherwise it’s not. Sometimes these decisions need to be made without notice.
/church of the warming cult
So, she is blissfully unaware of the relatively mild hurricane seasons over the past decade?

Why this wasn’t done sooner, I don’t know.
https://hotair.com/archives/2017/09/06/national-lawyers-guild-san-francisco-antifa/
National Lawyers Guild declares: “We are all antifa”. Christ- kill me now
I agree that they are terrorists too.
NLG are sort of like the mafia lawyers for left-wing terrorists (and have sometimes been suspected of providing more than just counsel). Any attempt to stop this latest round of leftist evil is going to have to reckon with them.
RICO them too.
Screw it- let’s just declare everyone a terrorist and RICO half the country. Nothing matters anymore, anyways.
DAMN RIGHT
What the fuck is a Lawyer’s Guild? Do lawyers really need collective bargaining?
The name is misleading, it’s a group of lawyers who defend leftists agitators.
Surely there must be an equivalent for the NAZIs on the right… right?
Uh, the ACLU, obvs
It seems perfectly unremarkable that a ‘lawyers guild’ would want to embrace antifa. Antifa like doing violent and illegal stuff. And they have a habit of getting arrested. Many of them are the spoiled brat children of wealthy people. What’s not to like about a lot more paying clients?
I was at the gas station yesterday, and the car next to me had “Not my president” and “Resist” stickers in the side windows. I got a laugh out of it. Especially because I live a very solidly Republican county.
Yet, I bet that guy won’t get assaulted. If someone did that in reverse, violence is almost guaranteed. Tolerance
I live in a major city, and every once in a while I think about what it might be like to walk around wearing a MAGA hat. I’m not really a hat guy and definitely not a hardcore Trump supporter so I’m not about to go test one of these weird little scenarios, but even the thought of commuting to work downtown or being in certain social situations while rocking some kind of Trump gear gives me the heebie jeebies.
I always laugh at that shit. Resist what? What exactly is Trump doing that requires resisting? And how exactly are you going to do it? Moreover, why would Trump or any of his supporters care if you do resist? None of the people with those stickers voted for him. The whole thing is just comic.
It is not like say the anti-war movement where the government was coming to draft you or the civil rights movement where sitting in the wrong seat at a lunch counter got you thrown in jail. It is none of that. I wonder what is going to happen when all of the “resist” people realize no one gives a shit?
He’s a Nazi and we must Resist as the brave French and Dutch did. To do otherwise is to be complicit in the certain ethic cleansing of the US.
/sarc
He is the President of the United States. Resist to me at least means go underground and start blowing shit up and trying to take down the government. Anything less is just you marching around screaming about how you don’t like him. That is your right and all but I still don’t see why anyone would care.
FFS. You can pretty much guarantee that the French and Dutch resistances of WWII history didn’t march around wearing “RESIST!” placards. Let’s face it. These nitwits are preening about because they know perfectly well that its perfectly safe to oppose Donald Trump. Personally, I get the distinct impression that the entire farce has an element of projection in it for these guys. The truth is the people screaming that Trump is Hitler the loudest are the ones who, if given the opportunity, would like nothing better than to see their political opponents personally destroyed.
“the people screaming that Trump is Hitler the loudest are the ones who, if given the opportunity, would like nothing better than to see their political opponents personally destroyed”
There’s not even a question to this; they openly advertise their belief that the opposition is subhuman vermin to be sanitized from the Earth.
It is total projection. And you can tell that by their responses to actual resistance to government. The only people in this country I see actually resisting government are social conservatives who refuse to recognize gay marriage. That women in Kentucky who refused to give marriage licenses to gays was resisting. Fuck you Supreme Court I don’t recognize gay marriages. The bakery in Oregon was resisting the government. Fuck you government, I don’t recognize gay marriage and I am not participating in it by making a cake for the sham wedding. That is resistance. And the Progs wanted those people ruined, jailed and would have likely agreed to have them shot if they could have gotten away with it.
They don’t believe in resistance. They just are pissed they are not in charge.
Now that you mention it, it’s pretty fucking maddening that these Antifa dipshits are comparing themselves to Resistance fighters. The Nazi’s SOP for captured resistance fighters was torture until they talk followed by the firing squad… And these people chose to risk their lives and fight anyway.
These Commie fucknuggets are risking nothing. They know they will go home after the “protest” to a safe, comfortable home and settle in for five hours of Netflix.
The only people in this country I see actually resisting government are social conservatives who refuse to recognize gay marriage.
I do have to pick a nit here. I think you’re being too generous. The people you’re citing weren’t really looking, as far as I can tell, to defy the government. They were more the targets of progressives looking to use the government to fuck with them in the most humiliating way possible. The church lady in KY who didn’t want to sign the marriage licenses had eventually worked out a deal that her assistant could sign them and the marriage would be just as legal. That wouldn’t have effected a damned thing. Instead the cry was to make her sign them. The Christian bakers had plenty of competitors who’d have been delighted to bake the gay wedding cake. The demand was to make them bake them. No one’s life would have been at all effected by letting these people live their lives in peace. But, the progs couldn’t stand, not even defiance, but not being able to crush them under their heel.

“Well if Trump is going to cut taxes, I’ll resist and pay even more myself!”
“I’ll show them! If they kill Obamacare, I’m going to get my OWN health insurance!”
If only they were that principled.
One of my prog friends was griping about “the rich” paying more taxes. He is an engineer making 6 figures and I’m sure at least in the top 5%, if not higher, of earners. I told him that he could write a check to the US Treasury and they would gladly accept it. He, predictably, said “well I’m not rich.”
Is he even a competent engineer? I ask because it is probable that everyone in his organization higher than he must be making more than him. So you have to keep asking, “is your boss rich? Is your boss’ boss rich?” At some point they either have to admit that taxing the rich means pay cuts for everyone lower on the org chart or that there aren’t as many rich people as they assume.
Prog friends eventually become prog acquaintances.
“Prog friends eventually become prog acquaintances.”
Unfortunately it’s looking that way.
I think what they expect is that executives and upper-level managers should be knocked down to the same salary as mid-level management (if not lower). They seem to be comfortable with this idea because of their bone-headed belief that execs and managers “don’t to any real work” and just siphon off the profits that rightfully belong to the rank-and-file workers.
I always want to tell them that if execs and management are totally superfluous, the workers should just leave and produce widgets themselves. All they have to do is do the market research to make sure people actually want the product, oversee the design and testing, find a manufacturer who can meet the requirements for both quality and quantity, arrange transportation and logistics, pitch the idea to retailers, and drum up publicity about the product launch. Hmm… Actually, on second thought, it seems like there’s much more to production than just loading the machine and pushing buttons.
I think what they expect is that executives and upper-level managers should be knocked down to the same salary as mid-level management (if not lower).
Yeah, but then they forget about the junior draftsman, the secretary and the engineering intern. They’re out there eying your paycheck wondering why the hell it is you think you’re entitled to so much more than they bring home.
Progs are just fucking stupid.
But there are a lot of low level laborers who still think like that. The last job I had building some systems for a mfg company, I would often get to talk to workers on the lines. I actually had a lady once ask me if we ever did anything over there (the office building where I had my puter), or did we just party all of the time? She wasn’t being sarcastic or anything, she really wanted to get to the bottom of it.
I had another lady on the line ask me if we really need all of these computers. There were about 300 PCs on the floor alone. One of the funnier things was when a server went down one day and none of the PCs on the line in a certain area would work. This was a newly automated area where they did everything they did on the PCs, manually. Less than a year before this, they had no computers at all. I went back to see what was going on. They told me they couldn’t do anything. I said ‘Just do it like you did before the computers’. Which was possible. But they looked at me like I was mad and asked if they could go home’.
Is is married? Is he filing jointly? Does his partner work? Maybe he never paid attention to the non-married tax brackets, but thats a big distortion (which is crap, by the way).
The WSJ says a guy making $100,000 per is in the top 8% nationally. Your comment suggests he’s making at least $150,000.
I’m not sure exactly what he makes, but I know it’s 6 figures. If the 92nd percentile (at least) in the richest country in the world doesn’t qualify as “rich” I don’t know what does.
Only people who make more money than I do are rich.
That is for people earning money, it excludes those not working.
So, everyone here, as far as Rufus is concerned?
There’s a pretty wide range of 6 figures. If he’s barely cracked it, he’s in at least the top 20%. He’d have to be making a lot more to crack the 5%. Also, when taxes are raised on the ‘rich’, he’ll quickly find out that indeed he is rich, according to the government.
See FSJ above, 100,000 is 92nd percentile. You are absolutely right that if the Dems ever got their wish, his take-home pay would all of a sudden be dramatically smaller.
6 figures in Arkansas and New York are also two entirely different things. One is prosperous, the other is borderline poverty.
“6 figures in Arkansas and New York are also two entirely different things. One is prosperous, the other is borderline poverty.”
This. In MD, 100k barely gets you into the middle class, let alone rich.
He lives in Portland (thus, my prog friend).
Do you live in Portlandia? I’m heading out there next month for a few days. Any recommendations on things to see in a small amount of time?
Negative, I’m in Colorado Springs, basically the exact opposite of Portland. This is a college friend that got offered a job up there when we graduated, we still talk on the phone though.
Portland? Gotta hit Powell’s Books. Incredible place. Some decent movie theaters in the area too…and from what I’ve heard…highest number of strip clubs per capita….
I know that there’s a theory going on that the “RESIST!” movement is occurring not because he’s doing anything that warrants resisting, but because there’s a pending schism going on between the Bernie, Hillary, and Obama wings of the party and that people at the top are using it to unite these potentially warring groups.
Nah, Democrats just don’t accept the results of elections. Just like when George W. Bush won or when Abraham Lincoln won and they seceded (yes, I went there because it’s true).
I think there is probably something to that. If Trump is just another Republican, then there is no really compelling reason for the two sides to get over their differences. The 2020 Democratic primaries are going to be quite interesting. Obama is going to put up Devel Patrick. Hillary is either going to run herself or put up her crony Terry McAuliffe. The Bernie Bros are all going to fall in behind Fouxchohontus Warran. And apparently, Kamala Harris is going to be the BLM candidate. Yes, one of the most nasty state AGs in history is going to be the BLM candidate. Let that sink in for a while. It is going to be an epic train wreck.
Don’t forget, there may also be a couple of “proggy-Trumps” that may jump in, probably from Silicon Valley. Also, Joe Biden or another so-called “white working class Dem” may try to make a play with the rural staters. It’s going to be a hilarious tire fire.
Yeah, the Tech barons will run their own candidate and will pay off the media to fall in line behind them. The idea that Zuckerberg getting the nomination is comical as hell. How exactly do they think a geeky, straight white guy is going to satiate the blood lust of the various identity groups is beyond me. I don’t care how much money he has. If they tried to nominate a white male in this environment, the BLM, La Raza, and LBQ whatever the fuck they are these days people would lose their minds.
I think the only person in the universe that can unite these insane, disparate factions is Oprah Winfrey, but she’s basically said that she doesn’t want to be president. Therefore, I think 2020 is going to be the best political shitshow that we’ve seen in a while.
Zuck’s first problem is that he looks like a zit faced 14 year old. Also, there are a lot of people on both the right and left who hate the guy in a way that’s just mostly unreasonable. I hate Facebook and won’t go near it. But there is a nearly cult like hatred for the guy. No way he wins over the Bernie bots, they’ll probably try to crucify him or at least burn him at the stake.
I think that Zuck would be better off running his own, Macron-style, center-left party. Then he can get those “unite for the bipartisan ‘good’ of our nation” squish types instead of pandering to BLMers. It would still be a joke of a campaign, but definitely more genuine.
The Bernie Bros hate the tech barons with a passion. There is no way they would go for Zuck or anyone associated with the big tech companies. And there is no way a tech guy could get the kind of black or Hispanic turnout they need to win. I am not sure anyone, even another black candidate, could generate the kind of black turnout that Obama did. The magic is over. We have had a black President. Even if they could, I don’t see how the same candidate who did could also win enough of the white vote to beat Trump. They are really screwed.
Yeah, the first black president thing is over. Cannot do that again. But Harris may be able to get both the pussy hat brigade and black voters. I still don’t think she can win.
Black men don’t really have much use for black women. A black woman is never going to motivate black men to turn out the way Obama did.
Hold up, John.
It all depends on how thicc she is.
When I thought while watching the 2016 DNC convention that they could not possibly get any more loony, I was wrong. The freak show was just getting warmed up from 2020. There’s nothing on the planet that won’t be free and you’ll need to buy a guide the size of a major city phone book to figure out the different intersectional buzzwords, proper pro-nouns, categories of special snowflakes and their current rankings.
It does make me wonder if some of the Glibs here are correct and that the eventual nominee will be a negative, inferior copy of Trump, such as George Clooney, who says all of the right proggy things but no track record to parse through. I don’t agree with them, and I think that what’s actually going to happen is that the establishment vote will be split in three and the uber-progs will be united behind either Warren or their savior Bernie, but still.
Zenome,
I really don’t think the identity groups would go along with a straight white guy as the nominee. Not even someone as famous as Clooney or as rich as Zuckerberg. The Democrats are in the process of destroying themselves with identity politics.
You’re right, John, I’m sure of it. The candidate will have to check at least a couple of those special boxes. Harris checks 2 of them, black and female. All she has to do after that is puppet Lizzy in squawking leftist bullshit.
The DNC refuses to admit that a significant chunk of their support comes from people who only want free shit and otherwise loathe the progressive agenda. This is why Sanders got the support he got – he kept hamming home the “free shit” policy and stayed away from such things that most people don’t care about like equality, etc. “Free College” is not going to get any support – people like free but they fucking hate school.
I don’t think it’s working. The Hillary camp are blaming Bernie for Trump and purging every unpure Bernie bot among their ranks. It’s like a witch hunt. Bernie bots are teaming up with antifa and threatening to purge the unpure Hillary traitors by whatever means necessary. This is going to be good.
Tuning out the MSM permahate for Trump makes one realize that the Dems have got some serious problems with their branding and coalition. I’ll pop the popcorn.
They do. Doesn’t matter that a few of them are realizing it and trying to reign in the crazy, it’s too late. They’ll be first drowned out and then trampled by the raging mob.
Nancy Pelosi of all people is finally realizing it, but she has too much Botox to move more than 3 facial muscles, therefore no one can hear her mumble.
I would argue there are quite a few D.C. Bureaucrats that leak info and actively undermine Trump, possibly risking their cushy jobs.
It wasn’t a guy, it was two middle-aged women who appeared to be a couple. Maybe they are expecting more Stonewall riots or something.
There’s a car like that in our parking lot at work. It’s a Prius, of course.
How in the hell can anyone describe antifa goons as “anarchists?” They’re about as opposite of that as you can get.
More redefining of words and branding. It’s a way for Mainstream Dems to try and distance themselves ideologically from Antifa whereas in reality, their goals are identical, only their methods differ.
No, they support destroying the free institutions of Western civilization (which would create anarchy), so that the more politically powerful Marxists can build a totalitarian police state out of the chaos. Sort of like Obamacare, but for everything.
So, it is sort of true. But not really.
Anarchism has a long and storied association with communism, and a lot of soi-disant anarchists going back to the idiot who started WWI were more interested in causing havoc than in creating a society without archons (or whatever your preferred definition of anarchy is).

Reese Witherspoon, who still looks cute at 41, admits to having sex while her college roommate watched.
“Washed up actress tries to stay relevant by attention whoring”
But it is good attention whoring.
I approve of this message.
I’ve never heard of bad ‘whoring’
………niiiiccceee.
What’s the big deal?
I don’t think there is a big deal. It is just a nice thought.
It would be my saddest erection ever if I only got to watch Reese Witherspoon have sex.
What if she taunted you about your pathetically small penis at the same time?
Well, she’d be lying first of all…
…nobody’s going to unzip the bodybag to mourn me, but its not pathetic.
Riiiiiight.
RoadRunner wasn’t worried about that…
It was her roommate. So I assume it was a chick watching. The question is why she didn’t join in or maybe she did and Reese is too embarrassed to admit that.
Damn.
*runs to bunk*
People are really down on Reese Witherspoon. Ever see a movie called ‘Cruel Intentions’ or ‘Legally Blonde’? Nice
I have always thought she was sexy as hell. She wasn’t the hottest actress ever, but she sure wasn’t and isn’t bad.
You usually have bad taste, but I’ll give you Reese.
I’m okay with John keeping Reese.
She’s not a drop-dead knockout, but she’s very cute and I have a thing for cute blondes with southern accents.
Very cute is a good way to describe her. And cute is sexy.
I think it also makes her more appealing because she seems like she’d be someone you, as an average joe, could hook up with, even though you actually can’t. A woman who looks like, say, Miranda Kerr would never, ever spend a drunken night with me. Reese Witherspoon, on the other hand, I could convince myself that she just might under the right circumstances.
I liked “freeway”.
Good call – that movie is fun and twisted. She’s so deliciously white-trashy in that one.
The sexual liberation has really just enabled more opportunities for self-aggrandizement, hasn’t it?
Oh well, as soon as kinkiness is so normalized it doesn’t matter maybe the stigma and pressure on normal (six-sigma) kids won’t be so high

Seriously i really like the grassy flavor of cachaça and prefer it to rum.
and yes i copy/pasted cachaça for the little thingy on the ‘c’
Love Caipirhinha!
I know what that is, my wife is Brazilian. I just say cachaca because I take it and make whatever. It’s all cachaca to me.
Cachaca all the way down, huh? I dig it
The vintage aged ‘ouro’ stuff is as good as the best whiskeys. Mostly the clear that I see used in caipirinha. The best of the ouro, I drink neat or on the rocks. It’s like enjoying a good scotch or whiskey.
I recently was gifted a couple bottles of this, but it’s all gone now.
Cachaca
That looks and sounds amazing. I never knew about the aged stuff, but now that I do, I will be on the look out. Do you like scotch/bourbon/other whiskey? Can you compare it?

HM you’re my hero
Roger Wilco… Space Quest reference?
yep
I remember those games fondly even though a few parts of them drove me a up a wall, like the plant maze. I think it was in Space Quest II. The roots/vines of a plant form a maze that you have to walk through, and if you touch the plant, you die. Pain the fucking ass.
I remember getting Space Quest V, installing it, getting part way through the first chapter when the game would crash. Turns out a major bug went out with the initial release, and I had to wait for WEEKS to get a replacement set of 3.5″ floppy disks.
Computers were harder in the past but they felt more rewarding…
I don’t remember if I tried Space Quest V. I remember playing Quest for Glory IV and having a hell of a hard time with it because of the bugs. Corey Cole, one of the designers of QfG, comments on a few game blogs. On one of them, I think CRPG addict but I can’t remember, he talked about how Sierra cut its QA budget in a money-saving move. Corey Cole fought the cuts, but lost. That was at the time Quest for Glory IV was being made, and why it shipped buggy. I looked up Space Quest V, and it shipped at about the same time Quest for Glory IV shipped.

People can bitch about the world, but Amazon just delivered me 4 LED lantern style flashlights, each bright enough to light up a room for $20. Oh, you may need to light several rooms for several days without electricity? No problem. Send me an hour’s wages or less and it’ll be on your doorstep tomorrow.
My neighbor bought that exact same thing yesterday. They’re mighty bright!
$20 each, or $20 total?
Total! I think they’re up to $40 on Amazon. I paid $19.54, so wait for the panic to die.

Muh…Russia investigation is..muh…falling apart.
I just hit the ground and it’s as bad as I feared. They gave us the truck half full, my dad is waiting for gas at the one station he found open, we still don’t have a gas can.
Oh, and southwest cancelled my return flight. Hey Brett, got a couch?
I wonder if you could fit a piece of hose around the gas pump nozzle.
if you can find a container that is a little awkward anyway.
That is a pretty good euphemism.
Eegads, man, and yet you still have time to post this. True dedication. Good luck and be safe
Yes, we do. We have a whole spare bedroom and a sleeper. Stay in touch. Let me know if we can help for real.
Brett, are you crazy!? Vhyrus is one of those gun nuts. He’ll shoot up the whole house given half a chance! THAT’S WHAT GUNS MAKE PEOPLE DO!!
If you can;t find a gas can, if you pump fuel into the tank in the boat, can you get it back out to pour it into the truck?
We don’t have the boat with us. It’s in the keys.
Stay safe.
We just decamped from our Miami office. I booked a flight two days ago, but the guys you tried yesterday had a hell of a time until our corporate got involved and somehow found them seats on a flight tomorrow.
I returned the rental and gassed up at 4:30 this morning at MIA and there was no traffic, or lines at stations. Just talked to one of my guys at our office and he said it’s a mess now.
Ever since reading your comments earlier I’ve been thinking: is the value of what you’re trying to go move worth risking life and limb? Are the vehicles insured? I know, force majeure and all that, but still, is it worth it?
Stay safe, please, which means get the hell out of there if you think you’ll get injured or badly killed. If you’re thinking twice about it, get out.
Yes. And he has a really special way to make you pay for gas.
Be safe, man.
southwest cancelled my return flight
Thats as good a clue you’ll get that shits about to go down. Stay safe.
I didn’t really pay any attention as I was driving home last night but when I passed the gas station closest to my house there was a line of cars waiting for the pumps that stretched down the street. This morning my son told me he went to six gas stations before he found one that had gas. What the hell??? All those people waiting in line will be out of gas again before Irma hits here on Sunday or Monday unless they plan on just parking their cars between now and then and how they hell does a station run out of gas this far before a storm anyway? If figured I’d wait until Friday and fill up because I’ve got over 3/4 of a tank but I’m worried I won’t be able to find any gas.
Wait til all the hoarders find out storing gas can be tricky.
What about the wreckers?!?
Kulaks?
Yes, wait. They filled up several that were out in Pinellas. The idjits are nearly done panicking.
People are doing that shit with gas and bread and milk here….in Virginia. IOW, people are stupid.
There’s not an available mobile diesel generator from Virginia to Texas. I know because I just rented all I had to a country in NC.
If Irma does hit hard, it will be a shitshow precisely because Harvey has soaked up most of the emergency resources across the SE.
I live in Salem, OR and all the gas stations in town were out of gas 3-4 days before the eclipse. People hear of something coming that may inhibit their ability to get it (a storm or, in our case, rumors of swarms of tourists) and everybody goes to get it early and the stations run out.

So, someone sends ‘spock@glibertarians.com’ and gets an email back with “Live Long And Prosper!”. Someone sends “thicc@glibertarians.com” they get back an HM Photo of the day.
Send “askzardoz@glibertarians.com” they get a throwdown piece with the serial number filed off and a box of wadcutters, shipped to them in a ziplock bag.

Got my shutters up. Probably going to pay someone to take them down once this is over. Pain in my ass.
I have shutters, I have a house built to the 1994 Dade County building code and I have enough food and water for a couple of weeks. If this hugs the coast like everything is suggesting it will, it will likely be around the level of Wilma for us. Bad, but not disastrous. But 20 miles to the west and it becomes disastrous. 20 miles to the east and we get a strong tropical storm or category 1 hurricane out where I am.
I hate this stupid waiting though. Both my office and the public schools are closed tomorrow and Friday. If the worst happens, it will be Sunday morning. Did I mention I hate the waiting?
It’s the hardest part.
Gainesville’s own Tom Petty, as a joke about a hurricane heading to Florida? Now THAT is inspired!
Aw, shucks…
LOVE that song and the album.
Great record. I bought it when it came out in 1981…
holy shit I’m old!
You aren’t not old until you’re hihnsane.
Ha! I bought it a couple of years after it came out around 1983-84.
Yup. Old. Dude, we watched hockey when there was NO ADVERTISING ON THE BOARDS!
Stew on that, Stu!
I wasn’t big on Tom Petty back in the day but listening back to him I think he’s got talent.
Does the A&R man hear a single?
Let just preemptively add that Winston’s mom is wide open.
Nice.
“She’s a baaaaad girl…crazy bout penis”
Tom Petty was the first concert I went to in my life. Seen him 4 times total. One of my favorites of all time.
I’ve seen him a few times, as well. Say what you will, the dude understands how to put on a show!
I also dig his Buried Treasures show on XM.
A reenactment of what just happened to my respect for you.
Why do you hate America, HM?
Me and a pal bought tickets to his show back in 1989 that was cancelled. It was a real bummer. I waited 25 years before he came back in 2014 and finally got to see him.
He didn’t play ‘Don’t do me like that’ though.
Great show.
My first concert as well. Also, my first contact high. We were in nosebleed seats at the Summit (currently known as Lakewood Church), and there was no avoiding the smoke cloud up there.

http://thefederalist.com/2017/09/06/transgender-crusade-made-rethink-support-gay-marriage/
Another rube self-identifies. Gee, it looks Progs just supported gay marriage because they wanted power. What a surprise.
“My answer for those on the Left who ask me “Why do you care what transgender individuals call themselves?” is simply this: because you have made me.”
That’s the money quote. Everything is political with the Left, so they will force you to try and pick a side.
Eugene Volokh on new legal guidance from the NYCHRL:
The NYCHRL [New York City Human Rights Law] requires employers[, landlords, and all businesses and professionals] to use an [employee’s, tenant’s, customer’s, or client’s] preferred name, pronoun and title (e.g., Ms./Mrs.) regardless of the individual’s sex assigned at birth, anatomy, gender, medical history, appearance, or the sex indicated on the individual’s identification.
Most individuals and many transgender people use female or male pronouns and titles. Some transgender and gender non-conforming people prefer to use pronouns other than he/him/his or she/her/hers, such as they/them/theirs or ze/hir. [Footnote: Ze and hir are popular gender-free pronouns preferred by some transgender and/or gender non-conforming individuals.] …
Also look up Canadian Bill C-16, now law. It’s not just the USA.
Volokh is such a Cosmotarian douche bag. Even though he rightly objects to this, he still can’t come out and condemn it for what it is. You should feel uncomfortable with this is all he can say. No, dumb ass, all people of good conscience should be outraged by this.
No, dumb ass, all people of good conscience should be outraged by this.
As much as I’m probably not as socially conservative as you, I agree. The notion that someone could be jailed for using the wrong pronoun isn’t something one should be uncomfortable with. It’s something that one should be outraged over. This strikes me as just another example of the sort of push for humiliating compliance that I mentioned above. No one’s life is ruined by someone calling them he or she versus xir. It’s strictly about making people who don’t want to use the pronoun. It’s about making them deny their opinions and beliefs. It’s not uncomfortable. It’s fucking disgusting.
Jordan Peterson on the courtesy phone …
“As much as I’m probably not as socially conservative as you, I agree.”
I’m probably less socially conservative than both of you. And I agree to punch in the face the first shithead who demands I refer to them as some bullshit like that. You’re either he or she, or just you if you don’t like it. How about IT? That’s how Latin languages work when you’re not human and have no gender. That works for me.
I really don’t have a major personal objection to calling someone who is transsexual whatever it is they decided they are as a courtesy (although I’d probably have a problem with the made-up pronouns). If it makes you feel better, fine. It’s not really that big a deal to me. What I find completely objectionable is the notion that anyone could be forced to do so. At risk of jail or financial ruin. This isn’t about anything other than bullying those people. I mean, what sane person could possibly think this is about gaining respect? Does anyone think that the person who is being forced to deny their own conscience is going to respect the person forcing them? This is about saying to some people “Fuck you. We know you find what we’re demanding you do repulsive and we’re going to make you do it, regardless. Not because it gets us anything. But because it humiliates you.”. And my only response to such a person is “Xir is a walking, talking piece of shit who would do the world an immense favor if xir swallowed a .22 caliber.” See, no he’s or she’s!
If they made me do it, I’d respond by not using pronouns at all.
So, if you decided your personal pronoun was the n word, could you basically single-handledly destroy the entire New York economy?
Mom can cook your hookup breakfast. How is this a problem?

Fuck no. That’s pathetic.
Mrs. Tundra and I told the kids that we are downsizing once they head off to college. If we like how they’re doing – we may even give them the address!
Agreed. My parents told me that the price for paying my tuition to college was that I was out for good. I would always have a home to come back and *visit* but never to live. And, honestly, why would I want to? I’d prefer to avoid situations like the ones outlined in the article.
I stayed with my parents for two summers, two Thanksgiving breaks, two Spring Breaks, and two Christmas breaks while I was in the dorms for my undergrad. After I got out of the dorms and into apartments, I didn’t go back except to visit. Around when I finished my undergrad, I was at my parents place packing up some stuff they stored for me that I wanted to take with when I moved to New England. My dad said to me, “I thought if you came back for six months, that would be a long time.” I said, “No, I’m not going to do that” and thought to myself, “I’d rather live out of my car than move back here.”
Give them the address of a PO box. Two towns over.
I moved back in with my parents for a summer during college because my lease was up on my apartment. It was great for a week or so because I had breakfast and dinner cooked along with my laundry done. But as time went on my parents and I were bickering towards each other and I decided that I needed to get the fuck out. I saved up some money during the summer and found an apartment with my friends when September came.
My Mom late revealed a couple of years later that she bothered me as much as she could because she wanted me to move back out so she could steal my bathroom and turn my room into the current den.
*late=later
This is what good parents do.
…And to get back to being freaky with dad.
HIS MOTHER IS A SAINT.
I want everyone to know how difficult it is to not make a joke about Ed’s mom right now.
Willpower and discipline, bitches!
Damn it.
I remember moving back into my parent’s place that summer and came home late from a get together with some friends. I heard them doing it and that was when I was like, “Fuck this shit,” and left back out.
It fucking sucked because I remember going on a date with a girl and wanted to get it on but couldn’t because my parent’s bedroom was across the hall from mine.
That’s why dad was blaring Kenny Rogers.
*goes off to shatter some kid’s Santa Claus hopes*
It’s OK to have girls over so long as you leave your bedroom door open.
And so long as you write the Penthouse Forum with the details.
Pathetic:
Other than ill-mannered raised by wolves, why would you find sex toys in a public space? Or someone without clothes in the kitchen? Are they people just retards? If you leave your bedroom, put some fucking clothes on.
Is that Cher after some illegal took up her offer of living in her house?
why would you find sex toys in a public space?
1. It fell out on the way to the bathroom?
2. I’m trying to get the kid to move back out?
3. I thought it was a pubic space?
So we’re back to one room Little House on the Prairie?
Not a bad idea…
If there were an honestly answered survey, I bet we’d find that most millennials living with their parents are not having that much sex.
My parents sent the message loud and clear when they turned my bedroom into their den when I got my second apartment. My Mom moved out of her parents house at 18 and expected us to do so too. Sink or swim sort of situation.
I left willingly at 18 and was back a couple of times for a few months. At 21 I was out and never went back. My son left willingly at 18 and was gone 12 years and then came back 2 times. The last time for 5 months, but never again, that ship has sailed. My daughter has lived in my house (not the one I live in) for almost her entire adult life, but that’s coming to a close soon. She’s been really sick so I didn’t quite have the heart to sell it because she couldn’t work. I’m too soft.
So I have this colleague that says “no” to every fricken thing, such as the way to set up a new page on our web site to accommodate a product packaging change. I’m not the only one she vetoes all the time. I don’t think it’s malicious. I think it’s just almost like a reflex reaction, because she’s a massive control freak. She has some issues with delegation also (though she’s getting better).
Anyhoo, how do you deal with someone like that when you think your ideas are valid? I’m not a confrontational type. I’d rather find ways of dealing with different personalities by trying to understand them and find ways to work with them peacefully while still getting my shit done.
Double negative her ass!
“Hey Agneta could you not do this project?”
“NO.”
“Awesome! I’ll expect it by COB.”
Ask a shit ton of questions. It drives them nuts. They think saying no means you go away and leave them alone. Tell her you value her opinion and really want to dig deep.
After one round she will rubber stamp anything you send through.
Mind fuck them into believing the idea was their own.
This is how I do it.
“That’s a fair point – and I’d welcome your suggestions on how to improve it.”
Throat punch and a shin kick.
What kind of shitty ass advice is this. Have you ever been in a professional environment? Kristen, always follow up a punch-kick with a Stunner.
“Anyhoo, how do you deal with someone like that when you think your ideas are valid?”
You have to state your case in a convincing manner. Like ‘Here’s why we shouldn’t do that’ *examples*. And here’s why we should instead go with my idea *examples*. After that turns out to have been the right choice for a while, you won’t have nearly as much work convincing people to just trust you. I’ve spent a couple of decades perfecting this. At first, I just got frustrated, that doesn’t work. Patience, trust is not easily earned. Or your boss might just be an egomaniac shithead. I’ve survived that also, so will you. It’s just work, don’t let it bother you too much.

You mean that number is part of some kind of unique identifier that is applied in some kind of uniform way to identify a specific resource on their website?
There ought to be at least some kind of cool three-letter acronym that they could use to describe that!
The branding makes the number seem like some sort of magical indication of truth and uses several tricks to make them seem more meaningful than they are.
Well, it’s magical in that the number maps to a filename for the JPG that has the image of the ‘ticket’. So, rudimentary filesystem storage. Beautifully scalable (not), and devilishly complicated to subvert.
That site will stay unexploited for about 6 minutes.
She and supporters was under represented by the media lol
Just like Krugman complained she got all this negative coverage while trump got favorable coverage

Ha. They couldn’t even get verr.it. Slackers. Which I only found out as I was writing a comment saying someone should register ferr.it as a parody site that proves anything you want using weasel words.

Um, one of the “more top stories” just below the article is Arrested Utah Nurse Had It Coming
I have some extremely exciting news to share: I have my space heater on!!!!! You gize!!!
You chicks are always cold. I work with someone who keeps her’s on all year long. It’s like 90 degrees in her office. I could have a heat stroke in there and it’d be her fault.
Sounds like my last “supercube.”
This is such a bizarre stereotype to me. I’m always hot. I get sick in the summer from the heat. That AC has to be blasting if it’s hotter than 80 outside. Growing up, my mom was always like me and my dad was always the one who was cold. He’d crank the heater up in the winter and my mom and I would be dying.
Christ. One of the gals in the office is currently wrapped in a blanket. Most of the rest of us are wearing shorts.
Blame the patriarchy.

Being an archetype wasn’t good enough for you?
Surely, his name isn’t Archie!
Archie is busy listening to his parents having sex. NTTAWWT!
This is a landmark day for me every year, when my sweating and wheezing through summer are slowly coming to an end.
In winter, I keep my house at 60 degrees, BTW. Space heater is to cozy things up a bit and warm my toes.
Don’t you have a dog? The dog should warm your toes.
That’s what her bald hairy guy is for.
Wait, the guy from work?
NOAA photo from inside Irma (euphemism, that muthafuckas!)
I heard Irma was loose, but to fit a whole plane in there…
Fuck off, Greg. They’re flying through a goddamn HURRICANE!
He figures if they’re that awesome a fish-eye lens should be easy.
Who took that? JJ Abrams.
+2 moderately shitty Star Trek movies
+3 lens flare
I’ve come around to being generally skeptical of government organizations who exclusively do things, but god damn that NOAA hurricane chaser plane is a cool mission and I’d love to be a part of it even though it means working for the government. What is the general glibertarian thought on this type of government employment? Or, on the other side of the equation, funding for this work?
I think NOAA’s mission could easily fall in the “common welfare” bucket. I feel the same about disease research.
Yeah, it’s not a huge organization, but I think you could also take some “private investment” for additional research partnerships….NUMA in Clive Cussler’s book had that in some cases.
Privately managed helicopter rides?
Hey LT. To answer your question from yesterday…yes there is a direct “suggestion” line to the VA. Those don’t always go very far though.
Yeah, YMMV. I know some suggestion boxes where it was just like those gags about shredders underneath. My last CO was great though – schoolhouse – and would always go through the entire list in front of the junior enlisted students and let them know the status – why we could/(n’t)/were doing something or not.
Different once you get to a larger org though. Good luck.
Its hard for me not to fall into the Utilitarian zone of “private sector could do it better.” For manned flights into a hurricane, its hard to define. But, for disease research, the incentives align for private industry to spend the cost, yes? Assuming yes, where is the line?
Could we should draw harder lines around this “common welfare” bucket so that it doesn’t include, you know, Welfare?
CDC (for example) also includes immediate response and notification services that while altruistic would not necessarily be worthwhile on a corporate basis in some cases.
I’d roll the dice on that versus CDC’s non-public health policy larks.

What a cunt. Accept your defeat with grace and move the fuck on.
The best line from Hillary’s book was: “He (Bernie Sanders) didn’t get into the race to make sure a Democrat won the White House, he got in to disrupt the Democratic Party,” she wrote. “
Isn’t that the truth though, that he really only got in to push the Dems to the left? The reason he got traction was the fact that’s she’s repulsive and corrupt.
If she were a deep-cover operative for Trump, could we tell the difference?
It’s deep-cover operatives all the way down.
From the article:
In the months since the election, Clinton has also blamed misogyny, former FBI director James Comey, Wikileaks and Russian interference for her 2016 defeat.
I don’t see herself on the list.
The russians made her skip wisconsin
Blame Broad City, too
She’s also blaming Biden. And while I admit that both Bernie and Biden, especially Biden, are cunts, there’s the distinct possibility that she’s the biggest cunt of all.
How dare she? She robbed me of Biden-Trump debates that would have become a golden standard in American politics, surpassing the Lincoln-Douglas ones!
Honest ignorant question here. I just heard a guy on the radio mention attacking the wall of a hurricane. Vhyrus mentioned that yesterday using A-10’s. What would happen if we dumped a hand full of bunker busters into the eye of a storm at about 5 min intervals? Would that increase atmospheric pressure enough to collapse a storm? Or would the resulting explosions result in less pressure?
The low pressure is caused by the strength of the storm, not vice versa.
See that is the thing I could never wrap my head around. The low pressure center is what the storm is. All air around it is trying to get there. To the center. If the center pressure could be raised, why would it not collapse?
What material will be deployed to increase the pressure in the center, and by what mechanism will the explosion move that material into that location?
I honestly don’t know. I was not in the AF who drops those bombs. This could be the stupidest question I have ever asked. And that is probably a long list. I was wondering if explosions would increase pressure or not.

Only momentarily. Essentially, by nuking a hurricane you’re trying to snuff out a house fire with a box fan.
See this is what happens if you let libertarians into power. Radioactive hurricanes!
That’s a remarkably science-hostile approach you’re taking there, bucko.
Are you some kind of science hater?
You have to deploy a lot of energy, and move a lot of matter around, very fast for it to happen. In atmospheric physics terms, Gaia is already doing that, but the side-effects of that redistribution of energy and matter is what’s causing problems.
One scheme that has been considered in the past is to disrupt the cyclic pattern of air movement early on in the life of the storm system, but even then, you’re still talking about vast amounts of energy. According to something I read at a NOAA site a few years ago, they came up with an energy dissipation of somewhere above 6x10e19 J/day for a Category 3 so, about 4 x 10e16 J/min, and a 1MT nuclear weapon generates about 4 x 10e15 J.
So in very rough terms, the energy dissipation of a Cat 3 storm is about 1 10MT nuclear detonation per minute, admittedly, disspated across a large area.
So in very rough terms, the energy dissipation of a Cat 3 storm is about 1 10MT nuclear detonation per minute, admittedly, disspated across a large area.
Sounds feasible. We are tripping over that stuff.
Thanks for the info. That was an honest ignorant question. A wealth of knowledge here. Thanks.
Same thing with the “extra pavement”/Bad zoning in Houston means extra flooding. The NRO article I linked to yesterday (originally published somewhere else) from an Environmental Engineer estimated that the flooding might have been decreased .02-.1% by not paving over wetlands in the region.
Ya Lt when I wondered about that it is was more where do the new streets direct the water. Streets become the ditch in a flood. Do they go to where the water should go? I am not sure there is an answer for Houston. Half of it is built on a swamp and what is the elevation there? About 50 ft or so? Hard to lose water when there is no downhill.
All you’d be doing is creating local redistribution of air mass. And very very minor redistribution at that. To mix metaphors, in energy terms, just like throwing bricks in the Grand Canyon.
Nuke it.
Even a nuke isn’t remotely enough.

So what you’re saying is we could solve proliferation yesterday?
Buzzkill
So what you are saying is I asked a stupid question. Did I mention I got a C- in high school physics? Then again having water fights with the wave tank fill tube didn’t help.
You’re making two mistakes, but both understandable.
When you get to really,really large natural systems, it’s easy to make magnitude errors. People never seem to get that the largest nuclear weapons available to man are, on geological/meterorolgical scale, nothing. And I mean – nothing in terms of energy dissipation.
The second is the Florida Man mistake. If something is doing damage, blow it up. The problem is the scale of the experiment, you’re trying to affect a system where the dimension of the problem is non-trivial. Even if you could collapse a part of the weather system, the perturbations could exacerbate the problems elsewhere.
The second is the Florida Man mistake. If something is doing damage, blow it up.
lol……partly correct. It was indeed FL where I was taught my basic understanding of weather systems and how to avoid a hurricane. I had never thought of blowing one up until Vhyrus mentioned it yesterday, and then I heard it again today.
Look, I’m tired of all this fancy talk, and every movie i’ve ever seen proves that when you’ve got a problem, you just blow it up with a bigger thing. Its like how you close black holes, or reverse the polarity of the streams and shit.
Now we see why Eurotards think what they think about Americans.:p

Its obviously because i made a more-logical and explosive argument.
We could siphon the power of the storm with a massive Tesla coil and then discharge it into the eye thus dissipating it. Right before it kills everyone in Miami.
Science…. bitches
A fleet of C-130’s with battery banks dragging coils of wire through the storm to harness the energy. Elon can do it.
I’ve got it. A hurricane damn. Imagine building that thing. JERBZ!
And that’s just the thermal effects…
That makes sense a bit. The whole energy in/out thing. But I am wondering if it is not an energy question. The energy might remain but just not be conglomerated in one mass.

he got really high before civics class, and learned that if you say, “We the People” in front of shit, it makes it legal.
I don’t see how he missed the part where we already have ‘government by the people and for the people’ and that maybe we should just stop voting in shithead career politicians instead of chasing some pipe dream about forming a 4th branch of government. I also do not think he has a concept of ‘what about the people‘ who don’t agree with me? What do we do about them?

I saw in your latest review you resized the trailer. And that has stopped the instant takedown?
Not sure. I think it has more to do with the “fair use” ruling and algorithm switches (or just because most other companies complain less than Lionsgate….?) – since they removed the previous strikes, etc. Next week’s vid has a ton of clips as well as the trailer, but I’ve kept most of them pretty close or edited out a few seconds here and there to make the individual clips shorter. Nothing I’ve uploaded recently has gotten flagged using the normal format – a few weeks ago I got flagged on the BTDKYD review even when it was shrunk.
I uploaded it to my test account last night with no flags or notes yet – I’ll leave it up there for a few more days just in case. As I noted before, the DVD is OOP – I don’t even know if the US company is still around, but I guess we’ll wait and see.
Scratch that….the company has transitioned to focusing only on LGBT films and doesn’t even list the movie I’m reviewing in it’s catalog….weird, but I guess that puts me in the clear since it’s the only version I’ve seen with English subs.

The European Court just ruled against Hungary (and other states like Poland and Slovakia) forcing them to accept some 100,000+ Syrian refugees.
“Europe migrant crisis: Hungary rages at EU asylum verdict”
Here’s the money quote:
“Hungary is now bracing itself for the Commission to turn to the European Court of Justice to ask it to punish those who refuse mandatory quotas”
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41177420
You would think that EU member states who suffered under both the Nazis and the Soviet Union would be especially keen to understand the dynamic of forcing decisions on a population like this against their will. Forced migration was a big deal in central and eastern Europe. Those countries joined the west because they wanted democracy–among other things. Now, it appears their elected leaders are powerless in the face of what Brussels imposes on them over their leaders’ objections. This is bigger than the question of whether asylum seekers should be helped. It cuts to the very heart of what it means to be an autonomous democracy.
Convince people that their democracy is largely an illusion and these decisions are just imposed on them from above by politicians and bureaucrats beyond their control, and bad things happen. Intolerant things happen that aren’t in line with liberal values and human rights. I bet a lot of people over there wish they had someone like Donald Trump in charge. And if Merkel and company, Brussels, et. al. are imposing these things on less influential EU countries out of a sense of past guilt, that would be profoundly ironic.
That is going to backfire spectacularly. There is no way that those countries will abide by that decision.
yes, even if it comes with economic penalties, they’ll be like ‘fuck you so what’.
I’m sure Russia won’t make them take Syrians.
And the “Remain” voters in the UK still lament that they lost the “Brexit” vote.

Taliban claim Afghan suicide attack as retaliation for US leaflet insult
Six civilians injured in blast after US military apologises over leaflets depicting a dog bearing a passage from the Qur’an
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/06/us-military-apologises-to-afghans-over-offensive-propaganda-leaflet
***
Earlier on Wednesday, the US military in Afghanistan apologised for dropping leaflets featuring a passage from the Qur’an superimposed on to the image of a dog.
The leaflets depicted a lion chasing a dog bearing a Qur’anic passage that appears on banners used by Taliban militants. However, the passage used is also the basic Islamic statement of faith, and associating one of Islam’s most sacred texts with a dog, considered unclean in Islam, could cause offence.
Maj Gen James Linder, the US special operations commander in Afghanistan, said in a statement: “I sincerely apologise. We have the deepest respect for Islam and our Muslim partners worldwide. There is no excuse for this mistake.
***
Making a good leaflet is hard. During the Korean War, the US propaganda campaign was hindered because it lacked focus. Instead of hammering a few ideas, there was a multitude of themes.
WW2 psyops were better organized. There was a very successful leaflet used against the Germans known as a “safe passage certificate”. It was a formal-looking document printed on fancy paper with Eisenhower’s signature. It had instructions on how to surrender together with a promise of safe passage. It appealed to the Germans’ bureaucratic attitudes and fondness for official paperwork.
Here are the fundamentals of a good psyops campaign, in my opinion:
-explain to the enemy how to surrender and avoid getting killed
-avoid insulting the enemy or locals or boasting of military strength
-publicize positive, correct info about friendly forces
-publicize negative, correct info about enemy forces
Another important principle is control of the conversation. If the enemy says “A”, don’t respond by saying “Not A” because that indirectly spreads “A”. Instead, respond with a different message altogether.
Example
Taliban propaganda: American invaders commit blasphemy. The Taliban defends Islam!
bad American counter-propaganda: American commander apologizes for incident; blasphemous soldiers punished.
good American counter-propaganda: Another massacre today by Taliban thugs. Haven’t the people of Afghanistan suffered enough?
This is basically Louis CK’s “gimme back my jacket” bit applied to propaganda.
A few years ago, the Taliban began circulating their own manuals instructing their troops and commanders to avoid killing civilians and otherwise trying to bolster their image. Even they are trying to win the hearts and minds.
And here’s what not to do:

Coalition “Black” Operations
Not much is known about the various Coalition black operations aimed at Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. That is exactly as it should be because these operations are clandestine and secret. However, on occasion news slips out and it is interesting to report that the Central Intelligence Agency, perhaps with the aid of the U.S. Army, apparently tried to smear Osama as a drinker and pedophile.
In May 2010, Two former CIA officials admitted to creating a fake video in which intelligence officers dressed up as Osama bin Laden and his Taliban pals.
During the planning for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the CIA’s Iraq Operations Group considered creating a fake video of Saddam Hussein engaged in sexual acts with a teenage boy, then flooding Iraq with copies of the tape. That plan never came to fruition because agreement on the project could not be reached between the Iraq Group and CIA’s Office of Technical Services.
However, the agency did make a video purporting to show Osama bin Laden and his pals sitting around a campfire and drinking bottles of liquor and bragging about their sexual exploits with young boys. The insurgents were played by dark-skinned CIA employees.
This reminds me of WWII when British spy chief Sefton Delmer had a fake German he called “The Chief” rant and rave over the clandestine radio about the homosexuals and pedophiles among the NAZI Party.
These CIA admissions have led to questions about the Bin Laden video found in a house in Jalalabad after anti-Taliban forces moved in. The tape featured a fat Osama laughing and joking about how he’d carried out the attacks on September 11. Despite the fact that the man in the video looks nothing like Bin Laden, the CIA declared it to be the official “9/11 confession video.”
In another tape, just before the American invasion of Iraq, Bin Laden appeared and declared himself an ally of Saddam Hussein
The CIA Fights back with a Demonic Osama bin Laden Doll
Because of bin Laden’s popularity among the Arab people, about 2005, the CIA began secretly developing a Osama bin Laden action figure with a spare head in the form of a demonic red-faced bin Laden with piercing green eyes and black facial markings. The project was code named “Devil Eyes.”

Fortunately there are enough sane people still there excoriating him in the comments. And there’s also Tony.
Yeah, I saw that. Didn’t waste my time. I never reply to or even acknowledge Tony or any of the other trolls.
I see proL is over there. Haven’t seen him for a long time. Does he know about here?
We’re Glibs now.
Yeah, ok. Where’s the examples? What about the hundreds of regulations the guy has killed? What about getting out of the Paris accord? What about nominating one of the best SCOTUS guys we could hope for? Not the best by any means, I mean we’d have a real shitlord in there, but realistically. What about him taking a giant piss on PC and the leftist media?
I want someone to tell me how Trump is the worst guy for libertarians of the last couple decades of POTUS? I’m not buying it. Not even close.
To be clear, the bolded portion was original to the comment because it is a quote from the article. (I don’t want any aspersions cast at the wrong person)
“And the excuse that Hillary Clinton would have been worse is getting older than Bernie Sanders.”
Holy libertopia, batman.
Well she would have been worse. Their TDS is what’s getting old. Just criticize him when he’s wrong. Like they did with Obama. You don’t have to try and make him out to be Satan every freaking time you write an article about him. Tedious.
They would, but Shikha keeps screaming at anyone who says anything nice about him in the editorial meetings.
Just criticize him when he’s wrong. Like they did with Obama.
They were pretty patty-cake with Obama. They were definitely more objective than they are with Trump, but the rumblings about cocktail parties started well before Trump was elected.
I don’t see how any libertarian could even conceive of Trump being worse than Hillary. I don’t see how any libertarian can even conceive of ANYONE being worse than Hillary. And now that it’s turned out so far that Hillary would have been much worse than Trump… Fuck it, really, these guys are dead to me. Let them wither on the cocktail party trash heap of history.
“but the rumblings about cocktail parties started well before Trump was elected.”
That was sort of joke at first, until they proved it to be true.
Didn’t Rothbard start the cocktail parties jibes?
I guess so. It’s amazing how many of the controversies and epithets haven’t changed in 25 years.
Do you have a source that lists those regulations that Trumps has killed, I’ve been looking and all I’ve fond are fluff pieces like this one , which seems to say Trumps threat of de-regulations are helping our business even though we haven’t really had any changes in regulations yet. I get that the mere promise of better conditions can spur action, but I am curious if he has actually ‘killed’ anything.

It seems pretty clear Reason hates Trump the most for his views on Nafta and immigration. Doherty did basically call him the quintessial anti-libertarian for holding those views.
Also how do cosmos expect to appeal to progs who think shrinking government is racist genocide and that Trump is doing that?
This reminds me of one huge problem that libertarians have is that the phoney fiscal conservatism of the Republicans that they attack all the time is regarded as radical by the left. Libertarians have a had real trouble regarding this. The cosmotarian desire to ally with the left is not helping.

She acted like and was treated like a child when she spazed election night. Two people treated their spouses like dirt because they voted for Stein over the criminal. I think they made plenty fun of the Clinton supporters. The showed one guy working in a grocery store put in a maga hat, no commentary given.
As far as the main antagonist, he’s portrayed as a psychopath like Clockwork Orange’s Alex or Batman’s Joker who want to f stuff up and watch the world burn. Based on the previews looks like he’s going to put together a team of droogs to do just that. They probably be posed as Trump supporters but anyone who wouldn’t get the irony of have Trumpsters act in fiction like antifa does in reality is dense to say the least. Then there are killer clowns. Not sure where that is going to go.

Necessito a tuckable IWB holster for my M&P 9 Shield. I wear untucked polo shirts during the summer and went back to button-down and slacks today… my non-tuckable holster required me to hook my shirt over the clip to hide it. It wasn’t super noticeable (looked like my shirt came untucked in one spot), but it highlighted my need for a tuckable holster.
I looked at a few options, including the Remora. The problem is that my skin is sensitive enough that I need something that covers the entire slide. Otherwise it irritates my skin.
I’m looking at this one.
And this one.
Just go Plaxico
But I like my dick and want to keep it
I got the black arch single clip for my ppq and it does well tucked in.
I carry the same gun in a Remora most of the time. A tight T is perfect between you and the gun.
I have a Remora, and while they work, and are very minimalist, there are better tuckable holsters around. I am not familiar with either of the ones you picked out (although I do have another DeSantis, and think they’re well made). I do recommend this tuckable hybrid from Comp-Tac. http://www.comp-tac.com/mtac-holster-10225
Best part is that you can buy additional Kydex bodies, and use the holster with other handguns. Very customizable, very comfortable, disappears when tucked in, presents and retains well, and they do make clips that hide behind belts. One set even velcros to the back of a velcro strip affixed to a dress belt.
Anyway, very neat holster, especially if you are trying to IWB a larger pistol. (Like the Glock 30 I had stolen. Grrrr.) Probably overkill for a Shield.
If going Remora, do spring for the sweat shield, and allot time for periodically washing the holster and treating the exterior with rubbing alcohol to restore the tackiness. Also, in a hot climate, take care to periodically (like every day) remove the pistol to wipe any sweat away and reoil the finish. Didn’t have to do that with the Glock, but it’s one more “joy” of owning a Kahr. No idea how tough the finish is on a Shield. I don’t find that my skin contacts the slide on the pistol, but YMMV. My sweat damned sure does.

Assuming the roads aren’t completely blocked, it seems like you have enough hours left to get out of the area.

Same thing for the backwoods gas stations – get the cash first.
Best of luck. Praying for safety.

600 kt in mid-air “shouldn’t” contaminate things too badly, and would let everyone know that he can now kill cities halfway around the globe, if he wants it to be the last thing he ever does.
Aside, I’ve read that the recent X9.3 flare and CME, and M class Flare and CME that hit the Earth today, have jostled the upper atmosphere/radiation belts enough that nuclear pumped EMP weapons would be more effective than normal for the next day or two. That would certainly get our attention.
Carlson pretty much nails it here.

Partisan hack. Reason at least puts principles ahead of principals…oh wait.
Oh Reason, how the mighty have fallen…
Once again, government programs are a one way ratchet. Can’t get rid of it. Oh nooo!!!!!
I never realized that sleep crying was a thing for infants. There’s nothing quite like your nice quiet night being punctuated by a scream and a wail from an infant having a bad dream.
I do wonder what they have nightmares about. Boobs being just out of reach? Their favorite toy falling on the floor? People sneezing? A never ending dirty diaper?
Maybe they are just prescient?
Totally normal. Believe it or not, you will soon sleep through a lot of it.
Probably things you’re more or less programmed to be afraid of; falling, being prey etc. It also could just be that vague sense of foreboding, anxiety and dread that you continue to experience as an adult.
Also, I have nightmares about boobs being just out of reach.
I teed that one up, I’m glad somebody took a swing at it.
I aim to please. ( . ) . )
The right one seems a little smaller. Hey, not complaining. Just sayin’
Nice 3/4 perspective. It’s like what I imagine the Mona Lisa’s boobs look like.
Good catch on that; the 3/4 thing, not the Mona Lisa thing though now that I think about it….
Whatever it is, I bet it would be pretty surreal to us. Or maybe just nonsensical. They understand no language and have no understanding of time. They can’t understand walking or running, or really any locomotion at all. They have no, or very, very limited memories of sight, smell or sounds.
The only thing I can think of that would give an infant nightmares would be re-living their birth. Which -considering their “idyllic” existence up until then- would be pretty damn traumatic.
I think Q Continuum is probably right about that vague sense of foreboding. She’s getting to the point where being alone is scary for her, so I wouldn’t be surprised if her dream was the feeling of being alone and scared.
I think back to when I was 4 or 5, having recurring dreams about being chased by a monster in a dark tunnel. They probably don’t have that level of sophistication or realism to their dreams, but perhaps images and feelings from their experience?
According to this article, babies don’t dream, but it also says that I was incapable of having narrative dreams at age 4 or 5, so I’m skeptical of the article.
recurring dreams about being chased by a monster in a dark tunnel
Easy one to explain; Dad fucked Mom while pregnant.
But they weren’t people before their birth, so they can’t relive anything that happened before they breathed that sweet, sweet hospital air.

I do wonder what they have nightmares about.
OMWC.
To be fair, boobs being just out of reach would be a nightmare…
White ethnic groups don’t matter, they’re all oppresors and shitlords.

I thought libertarians have won the culture wars? So said Gillespie.
Grandpa Gillespie still thinks the cultural and political lines are drawn like they were in the 1980s
Not only that but the whole “libertarian moment” is just thinking that the cultural and political lines of the 1990s are the same.
The only criticism I have of that article is its fawning over Teddy Roosevelt. The man was a legit sociopath and is the political root to today’s Progressive Left AND SoCon Right.
Q Continuum, saw your desire for an old Mustang in the other thread. Please, if you want a car to play with, buy a running car in good condition. Classic Car.com lists hundreds of early Mustangs in the $20-$30,000 range. You will easily spend that on a decent restoration and possibly go years without a car to drive and enjoy. Trust me on this.
Good man. I will go check them out.
The left used to love Andrew Jackson and hate Alexander Hamilton (see Dalton Trumbo’s the Incredible Andrew as an example) but now it is the opposite. And the left has forgiven LBJ for ‘Nam apparently.
Why? Because Hamilton and LBJ were TOP MEN
Let me know if I am wrong (like that would be a problem around here): JFK (D) got us into Vietnam, LBJ (D) escalated Vietnam, and Nixon (R) got us out. But the only anti-war songs that call out a president by name mention Nixon (tin soldiers and Nixon’s comin’…)
This brings to mind a more important issue; how come only (D) presidents are known by their initials?
The use middle names like serial killers.
The left likes Hamilton purely because of the musical, and they don’t actually give a shit about anything he wrote or believed in. It’s no different from their fetishizing Handmaid’s Tale, with the most shallow take possible.
Anyone seen the 1974 anti-Nam documentary Hearts and Minds? One of its producers called the North Vietnamese conquest to be liberation.
So is Nick Gillespie either has insane delusion, is an uncool old man desperately trying to prove that he is a voice of Teh Yutes or is still in the Clap Your Hands If You Believe school of politics. There is no fourth possibility.
It’s the second one. As I’ve said before, he and the others in the left-libertarian movement are the 35-year-old guy hanging out in the college bar hitting on coeds. He thinks he’s going to get lucky, but the girl is just hoping to get free drinks.
Their quarterback throws like a girl.
dagummit!
I’m Q and I approve this message.
These football players brawl yall!
We need to get steroids out of football! These football players have massive chests!
I have a hard time believing that’s an actual thing.
I’m sure it is hard.
Minnesota is always scared of the Green Bay Quarterback.
Has anyone heard from Cytotoxic lately?
I will always remember his post that the libertarian moment was coming until it was derailed by Trump. Because if such a thing can be derailed by one man than obviously it was a strong movement. Also does that mean Ted Cruz was the harbinger of the moment?
And his comment that immigration has never caused any problems ever which is such a good rebuttal to immigration restrictionists. Or how he supported open borders but immigration officials should keep out the sick.
Didn’t his mommy send him off to boarding school?
The funny part is that I wasn’t even sick, let alone dead.
NYT Fails to Mention Bob Menendez Is a Democrat in Story on Corruption Trial
http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/09/06/democrat-bob-menendez-corruption-trial-new-york-times-article-omits-his-party
***
The New York Times on Monday night published a lengthy story about Sen. Bob Menendez’s (D-N.J.) corruption trial, but they neglected to mention his Democratic Party affiliation.
The story, titled “Menendez Trial Set to Begin With Tensions High and Washington Watching,” referred to Menendez as “Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey,” “Mr. Menendez, a senior senator,” “Mr. Menendez” and “the senator,” but it did not include the word “Democrat.”
After taking extensive criticism on social media, the Times updated the online version of the story to include Menendez’s party affiliation in the fourth paragraph.
The author of the story, Nick Corasaniti, tweeted that the omission in the original story was “just an oversight on my part after drafts.”
***
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
It was a stealth edit too. They never even noted it at the bottom of the piece.
maybe he should consider drinking from a can or bottle instead of draft while writing.
NBC was even worse. Check out the correction at the bottom…
