So Illinois the land of stupid, the Democrats in the General Assembly passed a $1.5 million spending bill to translate the General Assembly's webpage into other languages to be "more inclusive". They passed it after Republicans pointed out that Google translate already does it for free.

Black Rifle Coffee's politics are great, but their coffee is not a good substitute. Man do I wish it was! Trying Levazza now. Don't know their politics. The coffee is pretty good.

My coffee this morning is Ignitor. 2x the caffeine. Discovered at Big Lots. I got 14 K cups for $5 and then I bought every box they had, and every box the next Big Lots over had. It being Big Lots I will probably never see it again. But they had 20 oz bags for $5 and my self fill pod is going to get WAY more than 14 out of that.
Plus it's good coffee. Comparison other CAF from BRC was like $20 for 12 cups with shipping and, well, harsh. Posted by: blaster at March 25, 2017 08:35 AM (HV1LS) 39

The wine bottle thing is interesting.
There is a field of study about the "teapot effect" which is the tendency of tea to dribble down the outside of the pot when you pour. There are a theories about why it happens, but it appears to be agreed it is an issue with the thickness of the lip, and the tendency of tea to cling to what it is being poured over. One guy. Joseph Keller, thinks it also has to do with air pressure differentials around the pouring spout that can be ameliorated with a redesign of the pot ( http://preview.tinyurl.com/lgvfwry ), an MIT group thought it had to do with the fluidics of the tea itself and may be resolved by using hydrophillic materials.( http://preview.tinyurl.com/mp4uec4 ) Since Dr Joseph Keller once got an igNobel for a study on why joggers' ponytails swing from side to side when their heads are going up and down I think I like his answer best.

I'm trying to remember the last time anyone questioned my eligibility for a senior discount. It's been a damn long time. I had the 'looks' before I had the years.

What you mean is that you can't find any nickelfucking media organization stupid enough to pay you an obscene salary for spouting racist ignorance on the air.

This Day In Rock and Roll History:
On March 25, 1968, the last episode of The Monkees' TV show aired. It was titled "The Frodis Caper," and was directed by Micky Dolenz. One of the interesting things about this last episode is in the beginning you hear The Beatles song "Good Morning, Good Morning". This was the very first time that The Beatles allowed one of their song to be used for a non-Beatles project. The last original episode of The Monkees, 49 years ago tonight.

I'm reading "The Art of ARCHER".
During the evolution of the character design for Sterling, the initial version looked like a serial killer. "The second, like a serial killer and Clive Owen had a baby." LOL, he did! For the characters' voices, they sent out character descriptions to various agencies and asked for "somebody like Jessica Walter from Arrested Development" to play Malory. Jessica's agent called to ask if they would like the actual Jessica Walter, they of course said yes, and after that it was much easier to get good voice talent to sign on.

Regarding OCare, I think the Rs should first pass a simple bill repealing it, with some sort of time provisions to wind down the subsidies and Medicaid expansion. *note that the 2016 repeal bill they passed and TFG vetoed didn't repeal the whole thing*
The reason for doing this is simple as well -- It will force the Senate Dems to filibuster and ultimately kill the bill, which will be great optics in 2018 as OCare continues its death spiral. And I have to wonder how they managed to get the bill thru the Senate last year with a filibuster; did the Senate Dems fold as they knew TFG would certainly veto? Here's what Ryan said in 2016 (lifted from Redstate which I am not linking): "It's no surprise that someone named Obama vetoed a bill repealing Obamacare," Ryan said in a statement. "But here's the thing. The idea that Obamacare is the law of the land for good is a myth. This law will collapse under its own weight, or it will be repealed. Because all those rules and procedures Senate Democrats have used to block us from doing this? That's all history," he added. "We have now shown that there is a clear path to repealing Obamacare without 60 votes in the Senate. So, next year, if we're sending this bill to a Republican president, it will get signed into law."

Progressive elites hate the bourgeoisie because they might have the potential to rise above their assigned station in life. Thus, destroying the middle class by any means necessary or available is very appealing to them. Posted by: Hrothgar at March 25, 2017 09:49 AM (gwPgz) 164

Hookers with cake turned a gay man straight.
But, in an ironic twist, they also gave him AIDS. Posted by: naturalfake I've no right to speak, not being religious, but I'll bet this evangelist pushing this story is a Charismatic. They are the Jerry Springers of Christianity. It's great if this bar owner repented and stopped living that disgusting lifestyle. But Charismatics can't just leave it at regeneration and repentance as the reformers would have. They have to turn everything into a sensationalistic, outlandish freakshow, like hookers and an "annointed cake" (made with Miracle Whip?). It reminds me of Jesus' rebuke to the Pharisees: "A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign". Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at March 25, 2017 09:51 AM (vRcUp) 170

Late to the party, I know, but have a coffee tip: If you have a GFS (Gordon Food) nearby, try their Italian roast whole bean. It's $11.99 or so for a two-pound bag (CHEAP), and it's great coffee. No more of that overpriced lefty crap in "Obama pound" bags (that's 11 or 12oz). GFS often has it on sale for $9.99 a bag, but always next week or last week.

Well, I guess there is a way. I'll have to investigate this.
However, you can adjust the sensitivity of the light sensor by choosing one of five settings: Max (lights will come on when it is still pretty light out), High, Mid, Low, and Min (lights won't come on until it is pretty dark out). To choose which setting you would like to use, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition to On, while making sure the vehicle is completely stopped. 2. Press the Menu button. 3. Use the +/- buttons to highlight Customize Settings, then press Source. 4. Use the +/- buttons to highlight Lighting Setup, then press Source. 5. Use the +/- buttons to highlight Auto Light Sensitivity, then press Source. 6. Use the +/- buttons to choose between Max, High, Mid, Low, and Min, then press Source. I'm sure it varies with the car.

If you don't use your headlights in the rain, by your own choice, you haven't got the brains God gave a set paper sack full of cheap Chinese hammers.
Also if you're car has a color scheme that blends to road color in low light conditions. Often times headlights are for making it harder for other people to not see you. There are at least as many people who are as stupid and inattentive when it comes to driving as when it comes to politics. Posted by: teej at March 25, 2017 09:58 AM (6CZio) 183

GOP has been running on and passing bills for Obamacare repeal for 7 years. If they can't get that done, they can't get anything done. Irrelevant if it's Trumps failure or not. What's relevant is that whatever Trump's agenda, it will go to the GOP Congress to die. Best case scenario is that we tread water with the status quo for the next 2-4 years until the full force of the fascist prog agenda is parmanently instituted.

What could go wrong? Rockville Md wants to be sanctuary city, that illegals are rape and pillage monsters is not a factor.

@247 If you have been reading Adams over time, he is NOT saying that Trump being thought of as incompetent is a promotion for Trump.
It is a promotion for POLITICS. The previous TRUMP IS HITLER politics were really hard. And we saw plenty of ill effects. I mean, let's be clear - Trump is not and was not Hitler. But that didn't change things. You would think that just not being Hitler would be enough to defeat it. But it wasn't. If people thought Trump was Hitler, then By Any Means Necessary is perfectly okay. But if the new meme is Trump is a goof, well, no one is scared of a goof. And it is perfectly normal politics. Hey, if he is a goof, he can be beaten my normal means. Except the Trump is a loser meme is easily defeated. Because Trump is a winner. Adams predicts that turn, too, btw.

That cake-hooker story reminds me of the guy a couple years back who decided it was time to kill himself, because life sucked so much, and he might as well take his last 20K to Cancun and blow it all in one final party.

Looking at Trump's aprroval numbers..
Rasmussen was in the 50s up to about 2-3 weeks ago, not he's in the mid 40s. Gallup on the other hand has stayed steady in the low 40s over the same time span. Not sure what to make of that. Maybe Gallup was right all along? Maybe Gallup was wrong all along and now it's just right by accident? Rasmussen is all over the map? Just goes to show once again how inaccurate polling really is.

What would impress me is if Trump got Merkel to pay for a "maritime wall", a flotilla of battleships to prevent "refugees" from swarming Europe across the Mediterranean.

I wonder why Trump even bothered with a house bill. After all, being Hitler means you just do what you want, right?

So reading about the exploits of the epic Irish hero Cuchulain, I ran across this description of his great broadsword.
"...it would cut a man in two, and the one half of him would not miss the other for some time later." Rather a nice turn of phrase. Posted by: Muldoon at March 25, 2017 10:58 AM (wPiJc) 276

Is there anything Obama can't do? He's in Tahiti with his cabana boys and yet he managed to keep his signature achievement intact against the entire squabbling Republican party. Obamacare is the law of the land so sayeth Paul Ryan. It's not like the Republicans can repeal it, right?
