Hoo-boy! While I was out there living my life yesterday, which means not really paying attention to things online until about 7 pm, looks like a lot happened.  A LOT!

And since I need to wrap this up and get on the road early so I can get my daughter picked up from college by noon, lets step right into…the links!

Comey Canned! The man the left reviled probably more than the right was fired by President Trump yesterday…and now the left is trying to make him a martyr even though most of them were calling for his head on a pike since October.

Cult kidnapping kiboshed! Going clear my ass.

Helicopter hijinks! Wouldn’t it just be easier to let people shoot intruders rather than have to follow some “must retreat” policy which ends like this?

Piss-poor parking? Or auditions for Death Race 2000 in real life?  Either way, not a very good job.  Which reminds me of something.*

Think you ever really own your house? Reading this oughta be enough to convince you otherwise.

I will be prepared for a full update tomorrow on the state of the hockey world after the all-important Caps-Pens Game 7. I know that’s more important than any of this dreck I posted today.

*Will the days of self-driving cars be filled with hilarity when people pull Will E Coyote: Super Genius  stunts like painting tunnels on the sides of the road in order to catch an annoying-as-shit bird that deserves to die a slow and painful death fuck with the new technology? Because if so, I don’t necessarily think that’s such a bad idea.

Anyway, on with your day, friends. And make sure to keep the thugs out of your house too!

I can thankfully say I didn’t hear about anything political yesterday.  Unless you count watching a couple of chimps at the zoo literally throw shit at each other political discourse.  Either way, it was pretty awesome except for one thing. It made me fear for the future of our planet since it kinda grossed out the two younger German people that were there witnessing it at the same time.  I mean, since when does something, anything, gross out Germans? That nation truly has lost her way.

Anyway, on to…the links!

Texas Governor Greg Abbott signs bill making it illegal for state law enforcement officials to not assist federal immigration officers.  The left immediately says elected law enforcement officials should be exempt since they represent will of constituency.  Hey, kinda like Kim Davis, right lefties?  Right?  Where’d they go?

If you thought American cops could be petty, vindictive and generally assholish when they set their mind to something, then it would appear that their Canuckistani brethren have been taking notes. (TW: there are a few stereotypes reinforced in the story.)

Chicago government releases plan for 760 incredibly valuable acres along Chicago river. Or in other words: Chicago politicians have a new toy with which to peddle influence and enrich themselves.

The Florida legislature is leading the way in something we can all get behind.  No, seriously.

I’m not sure how many people would lose their job after being caught with their dick literally out (claims it was a misunderstanding) in a place known for late night prostitution (it was late at night) with a pair of condoms in his pocket (at least he was prepared for that water balloon fight which is what the misunderstanding is, I’m sure) and then running from the cop for a quarter of a mile (because that’s a sure sign of a misunderstanding) and then … aw shit, here’s the back story so you can just read it. Anyway, not sure how many people lose their jobs when that happens and its all over the news.  But I know if you’re the DeKalb, GA county sheriff, then apparently you don’t.

You want to know how stupid “art” people can be?  Maybe stupid is too strong a word, but THIS is how easily “art” people can be had. I swear, those Nigerian princes need to do a little better targeting in their marketing.  They should just buy donor rolls from all the major galleries and foundations in the world and go after some of those dumbasses.

That’s it. Enjoy something a little lighter than usual.

Its been a productive Monday so far. Have an extra link and some extra music.

• There’s an Ice Age acomin’! Just far enough out that NOW! is when we need to fund the research. I’m sorry, do I sound cynical? TW: autoplay

  

• Dear FBI, I’ll do it for $875K next time. They paid $900,000 to unlock the San Bernadino shooter’s iPhone
• Trump continues to overperform my expectations in court nominees.
• Trump: I’m not sticking my neck in that noose. Are we even doing phrasing anymore?
• Your bullshit scare-study of the day.
• Let’s you and him fight.
• This Florida Girl is tougher than you.

In response to a discussion in the AM Links, I give you three tracks off of three consecutive albums, and I could have picked at least one other song off of each album in place of these, but I just decided to stick to the funky lines. One, two, three.

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend and a good last several days.  I was completely out of it for a couple days there.  A fever pushing 103 will do some strange shit to you over a 16 hour stretch.  Some strange shit. But I’m back…much to the chagrin of a few people on here I’m sure.  And a special thanks for the other Glibs that kept the mornings going (better than I could have) while I was gone.  Thanks, Brett L and OMWC. And Swissy for helping in the shuffle on extra afternoon duty. If I missed anybody, I apologize.  I really was in bad shape.

Anyway, I’m back playing at about 75% today.  Still not up to full speed but on the mend. Which allows me to bring you….the links!

A guy literally died doing what he loved to do.  And people want to stand on his body and make a law he would obviously not agree with.

Fake news?  Fake news ain’t shit compared to what’s happening with “Fake Law”.

Hey, maybe the crowd lost their audio and were waiting for the person on stage to set off on a badass rendition of Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag. Nah, they knew they were cheering for Waters.  But I wonder if they know she can barely put two sentences together without making at least one factual and two grammatical errors? Seriously, that lady is so dumb she makes Nancy Pelosi look like Marie Curie.

Well the French picked Macron over LaPen by a pretty wide margin. And it looks like he faces a pretty big uphill challenge, as do all Europeans that embrace the super-state bureaucracy.

Those who want to erase history vs those who want to remember it (which include some for the wrong reasons):  Welcome to New Orleans. (TW: NYT comments offer their usual insight into the stunted mind of progressives) Also, try this shit on Monument Avenue in Richmond and you wouldn’t see protesters.  You’d see mobs surrounding those statues to protect them from revisionist assholery.

Here’s one for the hoi polloi.  Just in case you’ve ever wondered why Two Buck Chuck is so cheap.

Anyway, its good to be back. I’ll be 100% soon, so watch out. Oh, and this is probably one of the aforementioned politician’s best jams.

Have a great start to your week. I’m gonna try to make a few bucks and then take the kids to the zoo.

Coffee. Links. Clean up. Go to church. Yardwork.

OK, my Sunday is set. I’ll just put this coffee down and set out a few links for you to bat around this morning.

• Springtime for patronage in Chicagoland!
• Sad, angry ….both at once. That is how you feel reading this.
• A horse ran faster than a bunch of other horses.
• I do wonder what collection agency they would use.

Enjoy, do not enjoy. Snark, be serious – it is all up to you!

Good morning, Glibs. I  somehow arose without a massive hangover, despite a fairly large amount of beer consumed yesterday. That news about Hekmatyar really got me down. But a large mug of coffee and some links will help make the day better.

• OMGERD!  ELECTION HAXXOR!
• Yikes, that is some running, sub 2 hours or not.
• Icky Gunz Cause Trouble!
• Imma let you finish, but first let me delete this…

And there you have it. Saturday morning snark fodder. Enjoy!
