According to the CDC website, the most recent published estimate of lifetime HIV treatment costs was $367,134. That’s just one of many things to keep in mind as Jerry Brown signs a bill downgrading the punishment for knowingly exposing someone to HIV in California to a misdemeanor. WTF? I’m all for decriminalizing behavior that doesn’t have a victim. This is NOT one of those cases.
As people struggle to assign a motive to the Las Vegas shooter, this seems to be a very promising lead. He does, in fact, seem to be evil and crazy. FTA:
The woman, who spoke anonymously, said she would spend hours drinking and gambling in Sin City with Paddock, who she described as ‘paranoid’ and ‘obsessive’.
If he hit a winning streak, he would take her back to his room for ‘really aggressive and violent sex’ including living out rape fantasies, she said.
Spot the bullshit: Las Vegas Killer Had Better Rifles Than the U.S. Military. How many falsehoods can you find? I only got halfway through, and I’m already in double digits. I’ll get the ball rolling: “Paddock also outfitted his weapons with some of the best optics available to the public.” Hey, there, goalposts!!! Get back here!!! Available to the public???? Lemme run that through my lying liar translator: The military has much better optics. Let’s see how many more of these we can find. I’m betting at least 20.
Boy was I ever wrong about the Dodgers-Diamondbacks series. But seriously, what was the manager thinking with his pitching decisions? I mean, throw your best pitcher opposite Kershaw. Dude doesn’t have the best track record in the postseason and you all but give them that game? Elsewhere in the NL, the Cubs and Nationals are deadlocked at 1. Meanwhile, the AL East finally stepped up as the Red Sox and Yankees both clawed a game back in their divisional series. Indians and Astros will each get a chance to close out again today, as will the Dodgers. And in Chicago, the Cubs and Nats will seek to get the upper hand in Game 3.
Let em flow, girls!
In football news, the Oklahoma Sooners laid an egg. The Longhorns set a big OT win. There was a 7-OT game. THE Ohio State University absolutely pulverized Maryland. But there was one in-state game that gave me the lulz. Congrats to the Spartans for going into the big house and taking care of TTUN once again. What’s that make Jimmy in rivalry games now, 1-4? And at $10M a season…
I’ll get y’all a hockey update later in the week. I wanted to get a little more into thew season before talking shit. Four days isn’t enough. Anyway, let’s go ahead and roll into…the links!
Edrogan says his dong is “this big” compared to America.
Trump lays out his immigration enforcement plan. Dems lose their shit because he’s actually said they’re going to have to compromise if he’s going to give them DACA amnesty. I guess they’re not used to someone actually holding them to the same standard of compromise they demand out of Team Red (which is “you give us all this and we promise to give you something later”).
The Weinstein Company has fired their namesake. I wonder when the next wave of people will come out and say on the record they knew he was serially harassing and abusing women while they sat silent for decades. So far the Nuremberg defense seems to pass muster for the left. No comment yet from any of the talk show hosts or SNL. Big fucking surprise there.
STEVE SMITH GOING TO BE QUICK ABOUT LINKS TODAY. STEVE SMITH THINK HE HEARD LOCAL EVIRO-WEENIE GROUP GOING TO CHAIN SELF TO TREES, AND STOP …SOMETHING. ALL STEVE SMITH CAN SAY IS “TOO EASY”. AND BY TOO EASY, MEAN RAPE.
STEVE SMITH ONLY STOP WHEN DONE!
STEVE SMITH GLAD THIS WAS NOT WORSE. IF ANYONE LOSE HOME AND NEED PLACE TO STAY, STEVE SMITH MAKE SOME ROOM IN CAVE IN WOODS FOR THEM.
Well, we almost have the house back in order after the Friday Night chaos. The dog has settled down now that she doesn’t have bacon-magic to bark at (BTW, he gave me a piece of silver as a souvenir, he now owes me 29 more). We’re down to only three house guests. I can actually read the news. And it ain’t pretty, much like me in my tighty-whities.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. WHILE APPRECIATING THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A MASSIVE STORMCLEANSE A LARGE AREA OF BRUTALS, ZARDOZ PREFERS A MORE….PERSONAL APPROACH.
C’MERE, BRUTAL!
ZARDOZ WILL GIVE HIS CHOSEN ONES THE GIFT OF THE LINK, SO THEY MAY CONTINUE ON WITH THEIR LIVES, SERVING ZARDOZ!
BRUTAL NATION OF SPAIN MAY COME APART. ZARDOZ STANDS READY TO SEND BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS TO HELP. HELP EITHER SIDE, AS LONG AS IT ENDS IN VIOLENCE!
ZARDOZ APPROVES OF THIS SPORT! HOWEVER, ZARDOZ SUGGESTS THAT BRUTALS WORK ON GETTING MORE DEATHS, RATHER THAN “INJURIES”.
SP and I are a bit damaged from the party we had here last night. And one of the highlights was a buddy of mine grabbing a saw and a violin bow, then playing “Over The Rainbow” to the crowd. Swiss Servator discovered alcoholic beverages labeled Southern Tier, bacon magic got fried, webdominatrix was a bit tied up, SP showed everyone her Ninja Go vibrator, and magically, I was able to find my pants this morning despite the kids trying to hide them and make an escape. It is the sheer triumph of will that allows me to do these links, because my head hurts and won’t someone answer the goddam phone?
On to the news.
There is of course the fabricated outrage over an announcement that a purely symbolic change in the Obamacare mandates might result in Sandra Fluke having to buy her own condoms. Which is silly on two levels, the first being that the change affects almost no-one, the second being that her personality should be sufficient. And in related news, this kind of thing is why I tore up my ACLU card some years ago.
Fabulously stupid idea, which was a transparent money grab couched in insufferable moral excuses, will be ended.
While Preckwinkle (the tax’s creator and paid off goon advocate) did not have a comment Friday, in her budget address she warned commissioners of 11 percent across-the-board cuts if they chose to repeal the tax.
“Those sort of reductions could substantially impact the services provided by the public defender’s office and the state’s attorney,” Preckwinkle said Thursday.
“That is bologna, quite frankly. There are a lot of ways we could cut,” Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison countered.
The statement claims free speech has been “used as a dog whistle for the protection of white supremacist violence in the University of California system and elsewhere.”
STEVE SMITH HAVE GOOD WEEK – TOUR BUS STOPPED BY WOODS, EVERYONE GOT OUT TO TAKE PICTURES. STEVE SMITH GAVE SOMETHING TO SEE. AND BY GAVE SOMETHING TO SEE, MEANS RAPED EVERYONE. AND RAPED BUS FOR EXTRA FUN. STEVE SMITH HOPE “NORTHWEST WOODS TOURS, INC” COME BY AGAIN. IT LIKE HAVING AMAZON PRIME DELIVERY OF RAPE.
SO NOW STEVE SMITH HAPPY, HE GIVE LINKS TO GLIB PEOPLE TO MAKE THEM HAPPY.
STEVE SMITH HAPPY THAT FLORIDA MAN PET GET GOOD MEDICAL CARE.
NOW STEVE SMITH CONFUSED. THOUGHT CRICKET WAS FANCY GENTLEMAN’S GAME?
STEVE SMITH SAY “GOOD LUCK WITH THAT“. POLICE UNION NEEDS TO HAVE STEVE SMITH PAY A VISIT. AND BY PAY A VISIT, MEAN RAPE.
Somehow, Dallas Keuchal, who doesn’t throw strikeouts, and didn’t throw nearly enough strikes in the first two innings, is living by the K right now. Astros are continuing to treat the first inning like BP, with Correa going yard early. Springer gets one, too. If the kids keep hitting, the curse is lifted. Throwing away bases loaded though. Damn.
Killin’ it!
One last reminder to our Gulf Coast Glibs. If Nate is going to be a problem for you, reach out in the comments or via email to submit@glibertarians.com and let’s help each other.
Evil WMAs are already posting militant videos showing how to get around the coming bump stock ban because they hate America and are terrorists who don’t vote for the Right People.
I agree with this. Don’t short Tesla. “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” Someone will make a killing shorting Tesla. Many will just lose good money.
Half of all new cancer drugs approved by the Europeans had no net benefit. Me: So? Importantly, in a fair number of cases there were some real wins, just not enough to be statistically meaningful. If I’ve got stage IV cancer, give me that thing that saves some people, but fewer than 5%.
The Jerusalem Post names daughter and son-in-law of the biggest Nazi since Hitler as the World’s #1 Jewish Power Couple.
I’m going to bow down to Sloopy in the white boy Funk-off. I had to end the week with this one because damn was the cocaine good in the 70s.
Did anything crazy happen yesterday in the world of soccer? Not really, unless you consider Argentina falling out of World Cup qualification with one match left to play “crazy”. They’ve been to every tournament since 1970, so this would be HUGE. In Europe, Germany and England punched their tickets. Its time for the United States to step up tonight against Panama. If they don’t win that game, I don’t see them making it to Russia next year. And that means Trump and Putin will have to find another excuse to have a secret meeting so they can further their world-domination scheme.
It takes one hell of a player to win a Heisman Trophy. It takes a lot more than that to win a pair of them. Archie Griffin is the only man to have ever done so. And after the last few weeks, I can safely say that he will continue to be the only man to have ever done so for at least a couple more years. Sorry, Jefe Hayek and the rest of Louisville fans. Jackson just doesn’t seem to have the goods this season. But you know who did have the goods at Louisville? Rick Pitino. At least when it comes top raking in 98% of the shoe contract there school inked with Adidas. Well, good riddance to bad rubbish. You guys are better off without that piece of shit anywhere near campus. It might not feel like it for a couple years, but you’re better off in the long run.
Aaron Judge last night
I wanted to give a recap of the Astros game, but I was afraid if I started it, I’d have to constantly be editing it because Altuve would hit another home run when I was halfway through. Why, he was only one dinger shy of matching Aaron Judge’s strikeout total from last night’s tilt against the Indians. Anyway, while we was possibly locking up the MVP (and yes, I know voters aren’t supposed to take the postseason into account when they cast their ballots, but they do anyway), the Astros were pasting the Red Sox 8-2. Sale was serving up meatballs from the word jump and it never felt like the Beantown boys were gonna challenge the home team. In the nightcap, the Yankees failed to even get a hit until the sixth, as Trevor Bauer was filthy from the hill. The bullpen came in for the last seven outs to finish off the Pinstripes 4-0 (the 4 is for the Indians runs, not Judge’s strikeout total. Which, to my recollection, was also 4). They both go back at it today, as the Astros are relegated to the early game (fuck you, MLB schedulers) at 1, The Yanks and Indians start back up at 4. Then the National League gets their divisional series underway with the Cubbies heading to Washington at 6:30 and the nightcap is the D-backs at the Dodgers at 9:30 (sorry east-coast fans). All games Central Time, as God himself intended.
Alrighty then. You know what’s next. Time for…the links!
Strange Salon would choose the only black justice for the Heller piece
California is now a sanctuary state. Jerry Brown signed the bill into law yesterday and pretty much ensures Trump will cut federal funds at the first opportunity. I’m grabbing the popcorn.
Who is gonna help NASA destroy asteroids? Why, college students of course! I’m gonna go way out on a limb here and wager they’re the STEM kids. After all, you can’t “art history” or “women’s studies” an asteroid out of the planet’s path. Unless there’s a way to bore an asteroid into killing itself.
Nate is coming for the gulf coast. And as Brett mentioned, if anybody needs help, let us know in the comments or send something to the submit@glibertarians.com mailbox. We’ll help you or get word to someone that can.
Weinstein and Clinton sharing strategies
And last, but certainly not least, I give you the Harvey Weinstein story. Jesus, what a piece of shit. He’s pretty much been a serial sexual assaulter his entire professional life. Nut its cool. He’s taking a leave of absence from running his studio so he can reflect on his life of debasing women and then focus his energy, I shit you not, on going after the NRA and Donald Trump. That’s how he ended his letter acknowledging that he was a serial abuser of women. By saying how he was going after the NRA. Christ, what an asshole.
Coming to New Orleans – Apalachicola? Be Prepared, stay safe
About the time this comes out, we’ll see whether the Justin Verlander trade is going to pay all this season or if the Lastros curse is too powerful. Should be some good pitching, but who knows. Don’t look for Sale or Verlander to get pulled early. Not without a fistfight at the mound.
So there’s a storm coming. To all our North Gulf Coasters — I was just on the good side of a Cat 1 and it sucked. Be prepared, and GTFO if it looks like its going to turn into a real hurricane. Otherwise, just hunker down and drink. As has become our custom anyone who thinks they might need a place to run to, post it up here. Floridabamans are certainly welcome to come down to St. Pete.
I think one of our readers pointed out Amazon would be smart to own the last 5 miles of its logistics system as well.
I went down the rabbit-hole, and found my Friday video, listened to a lot of awesome music, but I’m going to sneak in some neo-funk because its a fun jam.
