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.
Well good morning, friends. Hope all is well with you. Which it should be, unless one of you is Ezekiel Elliott. The NFL unsurprisingly upheld his domestic abuse suspension on appeal. Even though the only investigator that spoke to his accuser recommend that he not be disciplined because she found the case baseless. Strangely enough (yeah, right) the NFL refused to allow his “defense” team the right to question his accuser during the discipline or appeal process. And now he will likely miss out on millions of dollars and have his reputation tarnished because the players in the league before he even got there signed a terrible collective bargaining agreement that gave the commissioner the ability to discipline players on a whim. Hopefully the courts will put an end to this madness, but I’m not holding my breath. Meanwhile, the NFL has graciously allowed Zeke to play this weekend as a judge weighs in on the discipline.
In other sports news, the last American man is out of the US Open. In the women’s draw, both Americans won their quarterfinal matches in dramatic fashion. In soccer, the USA managed a draw with Honduras and has fallen into fourth place in their group, which would currently put them in the position of being in a playoff with Australia or someone else from Asia to get to the world cup. I wonder if Trump was the reason, eh Bruce Arena? You useless twat.
And in baseball, the Cubbies lost. The Red Sox and Team Canada played a little more than a doubleheader but it only counted for one game, in which the Red Sox prevailed. I know because I got a notification on my Apple Watch about it. The BIG RED MACHINE took down the floundering Brewers. The Nats beat the Marlins, who are probably looking over their shoulder at Irma. The Twins fell. The Indians stayed hot. The Rockies won. The Orioles topped the Yankees . The Cards won. The D-backs took down the Dodgers once again and tied their team-record win streak at 12. And there Astros continue to impress with another victory.
Well there’s the world in sports. Now its time for the rest of the world with…the links!
Remember that book by Hillary’s pastor we all got a laugh about? You know, the one that elevates her to being closer to God and was written by her pastor? Well, funny thing there… I suppose its best for publishers and editors for this publishers to make sure books aren’t chock full of plagiarism. The book is being removed. Shillady said he’s sorry. Clinton was not reached for comment.
In the fight against the spread of AIDS in Africa, Ghana has imported 30 million condoms. But dem no use am. The man in charge, him say is hard to scatter dem all over him country.
Just read the Tinder date story. It’ll all make sense then.
The first Harvey lawsuit just got filed. I gotta be honest with you, I wasn’t sure why they released the damns either. Did it necessarily relive pressure or merely empty the water and create more flooding than was necessary? I guess we’re about to find out.
People in my state are freaking out. I give the people on the east coast south of Orlando a pass. They need to be prepped or out by Friday afternoon. On the other hand, Tallahassee appears to be all out of water. The storm won’t be there for a week if at all. Me, I’ve got a swimming pool with a chlorinator and a Britta pitcher. I’m good on drinking water. There were also plywood runs up here in St. Pete this weekend, which, I guess if you have to work until Friday night might be okay. I miss the days where we Floridians treated hurricanes like city pigeons treat a bus. We’ll move, but not one second earlier or one inch further than necessary. Oh, and by the way, since our governor went and declared a state of emergency for the whole state, companies can’t materially raise prices for supplies. So when that dickbag in front of you buys the last 80 bags of ice, thank the idiot price gouging laws. Rant complete. And now… the links!
Wow. Talk about the best investment ever. Tillman Fertitta will buy the Houston Rockets for $2.2 BILLION. His losing bid in 1993 was $4 MILLION short of Les Alexander’s $85M. Granted, Tillman is also buying the Toyota Center and not the broke down old Summit. But damn.
I have been drinking cough syrup all weekend and I didn’t try to kill my wife once.
While so many of us were slacking off yesterday on that most immoral holiday of the year, there were a lot of people working to entertain us. Some worked harder than others, like the Diamondbacks working 13 runs harder than the Dodgers. Or the Pirates working 12 runs harder than the Cubs. Elsewhere, the Yankees beat the Orioles, while the Red Sox got rolled up by Team Canada. And my prediction of the Red Sox running away from the Yanks is proving to be premature. The BIG RED MACHINE took down the Brew Crew, The Royals tamed the Tigers. The Indians topped the White Sox. The Rockies played the Giants. The Angels beat the Athletics (and were the only California team to win a game yesterday). The Twinks got rolled. The Nationals prevailed. And the Astros continues to play like they mean business as they took down the Mariners.
Team England came from behind to win and put their group all but out of reach, Germany blitzed Norway. and Montenegro did their best to keep pace with Poland by taking down Romania, much to the chagrin of a particular Glib. The mens draw at the US Open is all but a collision course of Federer and Nadal, while the women’s draw is anybody’s tournament to win. Today should settle a few things in respect to the latter, although none will be as head-scratching as the finish of the Keys-Svitolina match yesterday. I’ve never seen momentum swing that quickly in all my life.
Anyway, I could ramble on about sports all day, but that wouldn’t really help me accomplish my stated purpose of providing y’all with…the links!
Stay away, bitch!
Irma heads toward Florida. If you’re in the southeast part of that state, GTFO as quickly as possible. You’re in for a bumpy ride.
It’s been a long week and a half, friends. I want to thank everybody that filled in for me while I was dealing with the insanity down here. Its good to know you have friends that can lend a hand when you need them. OMWC, Swissy, Brett L…and anybody else that jumped in to do the links: you guys were a big help to me these last 10 days. And thank you to everybody who sent their thoughts and prayers Houston’s way. It means a lot to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Someday, I’ll put everything that happened down on paper, so to speak. When the nightmares end, lol. But seriously, its been a trying time and your support has been most welcome.
First it was sideways. Then upside-down.
::breathes deeply to collect thoughts::
So how bout them Aggies? I went ahead and tuned out at halftime, so I feel like I missed something pretty phenomenal. No way does Sumlin survive this. So whoever out there in CFB that’s the flavor of the week, pack your bags and get ready for College Station. The Hokies also beat the Mountaineers yesterday. The big game Saturday was a bit of a snoozer, with Bama cruising, helped a great deal by Florida State’s incessant mistakes. And adding injury to insult, they’ve lost their QB for the year. The Clemson band got in a bit of trolling during their halftime show, and I can’t say a negative word about it. And Florida lost to TTUN because they still don’t know what offense is with the same coach in Gainesville for 4 years now.
As for baseball, the Yanks took a pair from the Red Sox this weekend, tightening the AL East race. The Astros look to have their act together, reeling off four wins in a row. The Indians won. The Orioles beat Team Canada in extra innings. The BIG RED MACHINE went down to the Pirates. The White Sox beat the Rays. The Nats and Twinks both fell. The Cardinals topped the Giants. And the D-backs beat the Rockies. Coming down the stretch run now, and this is shaping up to be a fun end of the season.
World Cup qualifiers are on for the next few days, and I have to say I’m not surprised at the USA’s terrible showing against the Ticos on Friday night. Bruce Arena sucks as a game manager and he sucks as an inspirational figure. I see a two-leg playoff against an Asian team in our future if we expect to end up in Russia next year.
That’s it for sports. Let’s get down to me enacting my Labor Day labor by providing you…the links!
Pretty much sums up the crazy little bastard.
Kim Jong Un plays the biggest game of chicken imaginable. One can only hope a coalition of potential targets are formulating a defensive plan that eventually leads to a freer Nork people and no bloodshed. But I’m not holding my breath.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ IS GRATEFUL TO STEVE SMITH FOR GIVING THE CHOSEN ONES THE GIFT OF THE LINK. ZARDOZ WILL PICK UP THE SLACK NOW, SO STEVE SMITH MAY RETURN TO HIS TASK OF RAPING BRUTALS, ETERNALS, AND WHO OR WHATEVER ELSE HE CAN SHOOT SEEDS INTO.

ZARDOZ IS PLEASED WITH OBAMACARE. ANYTHING THAT WILL REDUCE THE NUMBERS OF BRUTALS, WHO PLAGUE THE EARTH, IS GOOD.
I *think* that’s what SP called me, but it didn’t seem to sound complimentary. Maybe it was her accent? Or her missing front teeth because her baby teeth just came out (the Tooth Fairy left her a shiny new quarter under her pillow for each one). Well, anyway, I’m hoping that when the permanent teeth come in, they’ll be nice and straight because we can’t afford braces. Enough personal stuff, time for links to various and sundry.
Big news is Fat Boy detonating his own Fat Boy. Do you think he learned something from what Bush did to Saddam Hussein and what Obama did to Gaddafi? Heckuva job, guys. You managed to fuck up the one legitimate task of Federal government while you were busy doing a million things you had no business doing. BBC’s take is, as usual, enlightening.
Some observations on the death of the wonders that was once Whole Foods. I never understood how they managed to survive in a world with Mariano’s and Wegman’s, but I suppose Angry Liberals need an enclave so they don’t have to hobnob with people who may not be Berniebots.
STEVE SMITH IS A VERY HAPPY SASQUATCH TONIGHT- HE SCORED A GIG DOING HIS SECOND LOVE– MUSIC. AND SECOND LOVE ATTRACTS LOTS OF TARGETS FOR FIRST LOVE- RAPE.
STEVE SMITH HAS SUGGESTION FOR NEW UBER CEO– RAPE CURRENT BOARD. RAPE IDIOT WHO HIRED ERIC HOLDER. RAPE IDIOT WHO PUT HUFFINGTON ON BOARD. JUST GO MAKE MONEY.
I’m having a nostalgic moment, thinking about the wonderful Saturday morning cartoon shows when I was a kid. The local TV weather or sports guy would put on some costume (a pirate or a clown or a tramp) and run low-bid cartoons, with some really lame patter in between. Most of the cartoons were incredibly lame, though perhaps over-exposure to Little Audrey is what set me on my current sexual path in life. But about every fourth or fifth one was something wonderful, like a Tex Avery cartoon, always featuring redheads, liquor, and intense violence.
So be it with the links. Imagine that I’m wearing a clown suit. And that I’m refusing to post anything serious.
First, sad news, the old school comedians are dropping like flies. At least he had a nice revival at the end of his life, doing a terrific role on one of the funniest shows to ever grace television.
OK, instead of my usual music selection, here’s my favorite kid cartoon show host. Say “Lorenzo” to any senior citizen from Baltimore and you’ll get a knowing smile.
STEVE SMITH HERE TO GIVE LINKS AGAIN. WHILE NOT AS FUN AS CHASING DOWN AND RAPING HIKERS, STEVE SMITH LIKES GIVING FUNNY PEOPLE HERE SOMETHING TO READ AND SAY FUNNY THINGS ABOUT. SOMETIMES STEVE SMITH REMEMBERS FUNNY THINGS SAID HERE, WHILE CHASING A MOUNTAIN BIKER OR HIKER ACROSS A TRAIL. EXTRA LOOK OF TERROR THEY GET WHILE STEVE SMITH LAUGHS, MAKES FOR MORE FUN.
SO HERE ARE LINKS:
STEVE SMITH NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK OF CROWDS CHEERING JUDGE AND LAWYER?
