Its a new month. The NHL and NBA playoffs are turning the page to the second round and Arsenhole got drubbed over the weekend, which all but knocks them out of UCL play next year.  All in all, things are looking pretty good.  Or so one would think.  Unfortunately, the links say otherwise.

May Day! May Day! Country going down!!! Tens of thousands of protesters set to hit the streets today.  Some municipal workers from Seattle even urged to do so after a memo sent from the mayor telling them today would be a good day to take off in order to stick it to the man…not realizing they’d be sticking it to the people that pay their salaries (and bloated benefits, pensions, absurd perks, etc).

Well, The White House Correspondents Dinner went on as planned. The right are mocking it mercilessly. The left are saying it was a thumb in Trump’s eye.  All I can say is that if you’re gonna throw a Rick Perry joke, maybe you ought to do it when he’s not making funeral arrangements for his dad.

The government has been funded until October.  Hooray!  Now we won’t have people dying in the streets like would happen when the shutdowns occurred.

You must assimilate. Resistance is futile. That shit don’t sell in Canada, eh.

American soldier killed by IED in Mosul. We shouldn’t even be in that shithole fighting while the local men flock to Europe for free shit.  This one hits a little closer to home. He was my nephew’s roommate at OBC, was in his wedding and they were the very best of friends. The least I could do was mention him in hopes that a few more people would put him and his family in their thoughts and prayers.

Sorry for finishing on a downer. Hopefully this will make up for it a bit.

Good Morning…I think this counts a s Sabbath breaking, a little. I was soaked for hours yesterday, and don’t feel on top of my game…but instead of slogging into church, I am doing links and having moar coffee.  See how we risk the wrath of the Almighty for you, our paying customers friends!

• Aw, nuts.
• A meeting of the (goofy) minds…?
• Booosh?
• Ha… good luck, lady.

OK, there are your on a blustery, rainy, kreptacular Sunday morn.

But our expert has called on another expert in handling unruly brutals.

They will have order restored, I assure you. In the meantime, enjoy the finest links that the Tabernacle can bestow upon you.

• Kriminal Act of West!
• Peaceful solution!
• Sportz of the People!
• Power struggle in reactionary elements!

There – are you not Eternally satisfied? Ha ha…a little humor to dispel all the tension. Not to worry, things are under control!

Here’s a riddle: how do snowflakes do a hunger strike? Like this, eating only when they’re hungry. Poe’s Law must come into play here. And of course, the purpose of the strike is “more free shit.”

In NFL news, the Bengals show consistency. Keep it classy, guys, keep it classy.

I suspect these guys were out for the March for Science. Me, I had no idea that this was science, I always thought my occupation involved nature and how the universe works. “Social Justice” is now apparently in our job descriptions. It does go a long way to explain why AAAS surveys always seem to show overwhelming support by “scientists” for whatever leftist dogma-of-the-day is asked about.

This reporter could have saved some time by interviewing some local convenience store owners and looking behind the register.

I’m guessing root cause here was using cheap Chinese electronic components, which are often total fakes. Advice to Fat Boy: stop trying to save a few bucks by ordering transistors and microchips from EBay.

Having faceplanted on the originality part of links yesterday afternoon, I am getting back on the hoverboard and trying not to crash or incinerate or such. Enjoy these Friday Afternoon links that contain little to no substance!

• A Daily Fail Womyn!
• Best I could do for a Daily Fail Man.
• Euro race car stuff.
• Hmmmm. Not sure what to think of this.
• Should we care one way or the other?

That is it – hopefully you are able to relax and knock out a couple of pithy comments here. Enjoy!

Is it just me, or did the NFL draft seem a lot more enjoyable when it wasn’t an absolute shitshow ESPN spectacle?  I made it through about two picks before I tuned out and just followed it occasionally on my phone.  If you want a quick summary, here goes: The Bears fucked up.  The Browns super-fucked up. The Texans probably fucked up. And three Ohio State secondary players were drafted before the Big Ten Defensive POY Jabrill Peppers went hilariously to the Browns. So he can look forward to many more losses in the state of Ohio to add to the two he experienced in his only other trips to the state.

Anyway, here is a quick and dirty takeaway from Round 1 in case any of you are interested.

Which allows us to move on to…the links!

Hypocrite: Part II. (And in case you’re wondering, he “cleverly” managed to get some personal digs in. Because he’s such a classy guy.)

Does this mean I might get to see Ted Williams (sort of) play baseball again? Or does it mean I’m more likely to experience a renaissance of racist Walt Disney cartoons?  Either way, the possibilities are hilarious and creepy at the same time. So obviously I’m for it.

Democrat blueprint to win back America: mostly socialist and protectionist claptrap. Also, no mention on how it’ll be funded, but I’m sure they can just take more from “greedy corporations” and “greedy billionaires”.

War has broken out. Don’t tell me this wasn’t expected.

When Rob Schneider is (rightfully) shaming you in public, maybe its time to look in the mirror and reflect on your decisions.

Here is a new song for you to hopefully enjoy.

I was going to try to Rickroll all of you with some Poppy clip. But I figured a picture was enough Poppy for now. What do you mean “not that Poppy”?  Well…anyhoo, on with the soon to be ignored Afternoon Links of fluff and oddity.

• This is some of the bad Trump stuff we were expecting. Sigh.
• Why I left Buzzfeed. Number 3 will shock you!
• Jeff Goldblum you say?
• This idiot carried through with the same level of prowess shown by the Bundeswehr in the past decade.
• Where is disbarment when you need it?

There you go. I am setting the over/under on commenter links at 7 of the first 13 numbered comments.

UPDATE: I missed that Jesse had already linked this Jeff Goldblum story yesterday (BOOO! BAD SWISS!) and it looks like the under wins.

Imagine my surprise when I went to click on ESPN this morning to check a few scores and it actually worked!  I guess they have a few people over there still on the job.

::checks headlines there::

Hey, only two of the top six stories are either politically or socially motivated.  I’m sure that’ll move the needle, guys.

Anyway, we’ve got more important things to talk about than the NBA playoffs (The Celtics finally look like they’ve got their act together) or those of the NHL (sorry, Gojira. But its only game 1). We’ve got to do…the links!

Remember the good old days? When a thief wore a mask to hide his identity?  Those days are gone.  Now they wear suits and write editorials for The Atlantic after serving as economic adviser to two presidents.

Unsurprisingly, The AG has vowed to fight the recent ruling by a California judge that President Trump’s sanctuary city defunding policy is unconstitutional. By the way, it was the same judge that ruled against the First Amendment when he forbade the Center for Medical Progress from releasing videotapes of recordings taken inside of abortion clinics and of those taken in public of officials from Planned Parenthood. Plus his dad was a Democrat Party bundler and he’s been a Democrat Party activist his entire life.

California takes one step closer to bankruptcy. I guess they were using San Bernardino as a template after all.  Or Venezuela, maybe.

Police close in, but SPECTRE agent kills self before they can arrest him. Seriously, WTF?

I hope you’ve all ordered tickets in advance for the White Privilege Conference starting today in Kansas City.  Ugh, If I have to go to KC to exercise my white privilege, I may just give it up.  I’ve still got my cis-hetero male privilege to fall back on, after all.

I wonder if Rand Paul has ever had a patient tell him this.
