TGIF Morning News Dump (7/21/17)

(Woot-Woot It's Friday)

*****

Long time Morons know that your humble Cob detests John McCain, the politician. He has served his country basically all of his life. We've been advised that he is facing the fight of his life.

Opinion based sites can put forth their opinions about the man. But, the MSM is supposed to report news not make shit up on a man.
Nothing like a cheap shot against him via the MSM. Then they wonder why we hate their guts.

Fake news and a cheap shot against the least Republican of all Republicans.

Rant off. News Dump on.

37 Re: The anti-pet sitting law. I'm going to make some assumptions here. Rover and similar "Uber for pet sitting" apps are tech startups being run by the kinds of people who run tech startups by which I mean people whose politics are generally on the Left. You know, people who love them some regulations and government control and back me a cake, bitch. Yet none of them appear to care a single solitary whit about seeing if their service complies with local laws or, for that matter, complying with those laws when informed it's a violation. Then? Then it's suddenly omg this law is so stupid and infringes on my rights and what I want to do!

Funny. That.

Here's the thing. I can see there being some type of law that says when you grow over a certain number of pets for which you are caring, you are no longer a person providing low level or intermittent pet watching services but rather you are running a kennel and will be treated as such. That number is substantially higher than one.

Rigidity of personality, feelings of persecution, unreasonable suspicion, a neurotic certainty that he is always in the right. Senator McCain only had four out of five. Probably only needed one marble.

Psychic Science (quackery) says Senator McCain lost his will to live when President Trump took Cindy McCain from him.

She does not bother cussing him out. She has a couple of Churchill quotes to do that for her. "Let it end only when each of us lies choking in his own blood on the ground."

183 Has McCain resigned yet?

Posted by: Grump928(C) at July 21, 2017 08:14 AM (l31C4)

I posted this yesterday. About a Senator Clair Engle from California with a brain tumor...

'United States senator from California. Late in his illness, he broke a filibuster and helped pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Wheelchair-bound and no longer able to speak, he raised his hand to his eye to signal his vote ("aye").'

Do you expect that McCain will refrain from his last chance to grandstand in the Senate with anything less than some 'historic' moment worthy of first-round entrance into the Grandstanding Hall of Fame?

I'm trying, really trying to keep quiet about my feelings about McCain.

My own take is that it is not so much DJT as it is anyone around him. Beware of supporting someone not of the government body. Clintons' crass greed is fine because they became very wealthy with money laundered through the government. Mueller and his team are swamp creatures who have never earned a living outside of government -- fish don't know they're living in water.

Rabinowitz ascends the high and narrow pulpit, opens the Old Testament,
and rains down God's own natural lightning on Dunkirk director
Christopher Nolan, who, in the interest of "maintaining relevance" and
"not dragging in politics," made a movie about well Dunkirk without mentioning WinstonfuckinChurchill.

I've got a big pecan tree in my back yard, and a whole tribe of red squirrels call that home. I have a bird feeder hanging under it from a 25 foot rope off one of the higher branches. I had to go to great lengths to put a conical squirrel deflector about a foot over the top of it, since a couple of the red squirrels actually figured out how to shinny down the 25 foot rope and clean out the seed in that feeder as soon as I was putting it in. Damn little acrobats, they are.

200 Also, as if in answer to "all those" film reviewers who commented on the lack of females and persons of colour in Dunkirk, Rabinowitz, in an apparent first in the reviewer community, notices that there's no Germans in it, neither.

A) That's technically psychopathic, not sociopathic.

B) It's only "self" destructive if they get caught.

Having said that, most people in just about any jail today will also qualify as either sociopaths or psychopaths - they disregard most norms of society, which in today's world means they fall into alcohol and drug use pretty quickly, and once someone's on that road it's very hard to get off.

The theory is that most of us are in that Bell Curve of normalized behavior and ability, but the sociopaths make up the bulk of those who are both far below average ability and those who are far above.

253 Not too surprised on the fecal coliform contamination. Toilets are a great way to transfer coliforms to pretty much every surface of your house. Not dangerous, just kind of icky if you think about it too much. Restaurants are even worse. Young kids or borderline adults, not in their own home, not adhering to hand-washing guidelines, certain cultural issues with regards to same...

Just saying it's annoying to click on a link only to find it's made up crap. Given the absurd world of gender spectrums and stories of dogs saving drowning deer...Look I find stories where a tiny piece is true and the bulk has been exaggerated into absurdity amusing. And total made-up silliness is ok as well, but after a while, the ya-got-me starts to turn me off. But hey, get the f off my lawn, I guess.

270 RE: visiting London; I was very fortunate to have been able to go there a year ago. I only had one free day and a couple free nights. One evening, just as the sun set, I rode the "Eye", and that is an absolutely gorgeous sight to see the city laid out beneath you, Westminster just across the river. A bit pricy, but worth it.

Since I only had one free day, I had a very hard choice - and instead of the War Rooms, I chose The Tower, and I do not regret it! 1,000 years of continuous history packed into that one spot, no wonder the English can get casual about the stuff they have laying around. And The Tower is a BIG complex, a lot more there than I realized beforehand.

Fun Trivia - they still had on display one of the Chopping Blocks used for executions, but the last execution on the Tower Grounds actually took place in 1942 - a group of German Infiltrators were rounded up, and they figured they'd always executed people on that spot, so why not.

And then before I went back I rode the underground and found 222B Baker Street just for kicks. (there's a little museum and shop there) Love to go back, I think I could spend a week in the British Museum.

Actually, they're pretty damn good. When you type in the quantity it re-calculates the price and discounts quite a bit. About $2.50 a piece for the quantity I need, saving $75 off of previous 'best price'.
