The Morning Rant: Middle School Edition
[Punk Monkey is having his studs polished and his anal glands expressed, and will be back after Independence Day] Baseball umpires, more than any other official in any other sport, think that they are an integral part of the game and have every right to insert themselves into every situation and make themselves the focus of the players, the fans and the TV broadcast. And they are wrong. Just shut up and call balls and strikes. Nobody watches baseball to see the umps, and when they insert themselves into the game it is diminished. The cult of personality and the aura of ultimate power that they surround themselves with is a detriment to the game. So what if some .220 hitter is jawing about a bad call. Suck it up and take it. You called him out on a low and away pitch. You are the one who screwed up. So be a man and take 10 seconds of anger from an upset customer, just like most people have to tolerate at their jobs. This crap about instant ejections if a player has the temerity to say more than a few hushed words to an ump is ridiculous. Climb down from those high horses you pompous asses And another thing. Aaron Judge is 6'7" tall. His strike zone is higher than most. Maybe you can compensate for it and actually call the strike zone for the player at the plate instead of the preprogrammed one you have in your pea-brain.
Hillary Clinton goes on a fact-finding visit to Israel. While she is on a tour of Jerusalem she suffers a heart attack and dies.The undertaker tells the Americans accompanying her, "You can have her shipped home for $50,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land for just $100". The Americans go into a corner to discuss for a few minutes. They return with their answer to the undertaker and tell him they want Hillary shipped home. The undertaker is puzzled and asks, 'Why would you spend $50,000 to ship her home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $100?The American diplomats reply, 'Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. We just can't take the risk.

INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - An Indianapolis church is shining light on the immigration issues happening in our country.
Christ Church Cathedral started the "Every Family is Holy Campaign" to bring awareness to what what they call "humanitarian atrocities" resulting from Donald Trump's zero tolerance policy on immigration.
The church has erected statues of Jesus, Mary and Joseph inside a cage in its lawn facing Monument Circle.

360 > Pretty good from a historical position.
Maybe if you mean "totally bogus from a historical position".
> Basically, says after the Arabs conquered Jerusalem
The Arabs didn't conquer Jerusalem until 638, six years after Muhammad had died.
> Mohammad is thought to be Abd-Al-Malik, the caliph who ruled the Arabs at the time.
1) Caliph is an Islamic title for a successor of Muhammad.
2) No one "ruled the Arabs" before Muhammad. They were a collection of squabbling tribes (which they still are, to some degree).
All this stuff is well-documented, not only in Islamic history, but in the histories of the Byzantines (Orthodox Christians) and Romans (Catholic Christians).

There's also good reason to believe (and this the worst kind of death penalty heresy to tell to a moslem) that the Koran was a mid 8th century creation by writers at the court of one of the early Caliph's, who was seeking to legitimize his rule. This theory holds that they gathered together bits and pieces of Jewish, Christian, and Gnostic writings, along with those of some home grown mystics, and created the idea of a "Mohammed" who was the mythical author of a unified view.
This idea is backed up by the unusual fact that the oldest complete Koran every found only dates from the mid-8th century, 100 years after Mohammed's supposed death, and only bits and pieces of various parts of it have ever been found which are older than that.
For as much attention and devotion that has been paid to Mohammed, there is a real chance that he is an entirely mythical character, insofar as he is portrayed. (Although I could see him being an alter-ego for Abd Al-Malik)

My experiences with Quakers were very positive but I haven't been to services in decades. There was an elderly woman who drove me before I had my driving license. At that time there was a 9:00 and an 11:00 meeting. She always went to the 9:00 meeting because she hated people getting up and witnessing a lot; She liked a more silent meeting.

However, you also have to manage the game and maintain control and flow and that sometimes requires you to tamper down managers, coaches, or players who cross the line. Vehemently questioning balls and strikes, using threatening gestures or straight threats, or intent to injure will all get your tossed.

The Justice Department raided Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's office and took all his files. The pretext is an investigation of his business activities, unrelated to Trump. He had shredded a lot of documents, and the Justice Department painstakingly glued those back together. They are confidential. They are either evidence in a criminal investigation or confidential lawyer/client work product.
Someone has now leaked the documents stolen from Cohen's office. Of course.

These stories are always the same and impossible at the same time. The gun didn't "go off". A round was loaded in the chamber, the safety was off and the trigger was pulled or hammer slammed down. How and why is the actual story.
No one should ever do anything with a gun unless they have removed whatever magazine if it has one, then open the action and remove any cartridge, etc in the chamber, action locked open and inspected(by looking down the action into the muzzle, not pointing the muzzle at one's face and looking in the barrel) before ANYTHING is done to the gun. And the above operation must be done either outdoors pointing in a safe direction or in a large room with muzzle pointing away from anything you don't want to shoot, and with no humans or animals anywhere within 180 degrees of the muzzle direction.
I"m with Alabama. I feel deeply sorry for the person who did this, as they will live with this forever, but I can't overstate how avoidable this is.

Yup. Always handle a gun as if it's loaded (assume it's loaded). I had an issue once where my Dad insisted his pistol (from the war) was unloaded, but I insisted, and it turned out someone had loaded a round in the chamber. Granted the ammunition was more than 60 years old.

I saw that on TCM while I was in Delaware. I've seen it any number of times. What impressed me this time-from a performance aspect I meant is that the main characters have "Reasonable" voices. I mean "William Daniels" is more along the lines of Rex Harrison. The men people who have really fine voices are John Dickinson, Edward Rutledge" and maybe one or two more (Roger Sherman?) and the kids who sings "Momma Look Sharp" ?Those three or three sound like they had had significant training as opposed to being actors who sing such as Jefferson, Franklin and Adams.

I think umpires are far from the biggest problem MLB has these days. Manfred is a worse commissioner than Bud the Chud Selig ever was, and that's saying a lot.
He's all about shiny new marketing techniques that do not respect the game, are geared toward our low information, short-attention span nitwit generations, and he's killing the game.
That, and creating a game that is dominated by power (don't try to tell me the balls and the players are not juiced), has rendered it to a boring boring monotony of strikeouts, walks, and home runs.

No amount of marinading or rubbing or sacrificing virgins to Baphomet will make up for improper cooking.
Use a probe thermometer. Pull it at 155-160 or so.
If it isn't a bad piece of meat to begin with, it will be juicy and delicious.
On the other hand, you could marinate the thing in the tears of Archangels, but cook it to 170 or higher and it will taste like a pressure treated 2" x 6" coated in a delicious glaze.

A wildlife photographer's camera is ransacked by an ape who accidentally takes a selfie. the decision is made to use the innocent ape as a political prop. The photographer colludes with wildlife activists in hopes of creating animal legal rights. They sue, pretending to be adversaries, like Brennan, McCain and Fakenews repporters colluding to frame Donald Trump. When it looks like a court is about to throw out their ridiculos attempt to use the legal system to obtain a politcal result, they settle amongst themselves, giving the ape royalties (to be administered by the wildlife group, naturally!}. Thus, after failing legally, they settle for impotent moral grandstanding.

Most everyone knew that the raid on Cohen's office was done to get damaging info on Trump so that they could leak it out to hurt him.
The problem with that is there wasn't any damaging info in his office, house or storage unit. If there was anything remotely harmful to Trump it would have been leaked at ludicrous speed.

Mark Steyn wrote somewhere (I think in Broadway Babies Say Goodnight) about musical theatre composers who only have one show in them, Jonathan Larson and Rent being his example.
Sherman Edwards is the same, 1776 being his only show. I'd even plump for Meredith Willson being in the same category; though he wrote The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Here's Love and 1491, The Music Man was, arguably, his only show, as he poured all of himself and all of his memories into it.

Pro tip: Tell them they'll never be one of the 144,000. Freaks them out, because they believe only 144,000 will be saved and they have to earn that by works, like ringing your doorbell and handing out stupid Watchtower tracts.

Some of those playoff games it sure seemed the refs/umps had certain preferences on the outcome, and with millions of ad revenue on the line, they might try to quietly determine the outcome. (one Patriots game iirc, seemed overly unfair)
Our shadow government is the same ... selective prosecution, but a preference to stay in the shadows. But now they are exposed, yet Mueller is calling all the shots ... Hillary is excused for obvious crimes, then they accuse Trump on no evidence, and unjustly penalize everyone from his team with lawyer fees at the least, threats to family and prison at the worst.

Jane, this morning on Fox it was reported that the mayor of Annapolis called Trump personally to ask that the flags lowering order be given. Apparently, this has become routine now when there has been a mass shooting. I always thought it was respect for someone in the military, law enforcement or a prominent person in government who has died, but now it's become coopted by the left as a signal(IMO) of the evilness of the country in allowing guns.
How many people have died in hurricanes, or building fires, etc, and we don't lower flags for them. As usual, the left is succeeding in watering down our most respected traditions.

As to the umps - my perception is that since the replay era began, they have been a bit more muted. perhaps since they can be overruled on a call in front of 40,000 people who are right there.
What bugs me is mostly akin to the Judge issue. I don't like the idea of the variable strike zone, where one day, "They're getting the benefit of the doubt on those low outside pitches today", and the next, "So and so seems to be getting squeezed today."
It can seem to vary from ump to ump, day to day and even from pitcher to pitcher. I get that it's an inexact science and understand how it happens that someone with excellent control will end up getting the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes it seems like it is more the ump exerting his will on the game.
The neatest representation I heard came from a circa 1950 baseball instructional book. It said to imagine a plate glass, five sided pyramid above the plate extending from the knee to the shoulder (I know the zone has changed). All a pitcher has to do is break the glass by hitting that thin plate glass pyramid, even nick it, anywhere, and it is a strike. Period.

Two reasons.
1) The left always needs something to agitate against in order to keep moving the ball forward on the Marxism project.
Today it's gay pretend marriage, tomorrow it's transgenderism, the day after that it's something else, poligamy or pedophila perhaps.
2) The use the issue they have selected to slipstream other crap behind it. Agitating against "police brutality" becomes hey why don't we just legalize drugs and reform have sentencing reform and while we are at it why don't we just return the vote to felons, and on and on.
The left never rests.

No sane person cleans a gun with a round loaded.
Prayers, of course. Just can't understand this from a gun owner standpoint."
We lost a woman in our community to a cleaning accident; she had started arthritis in her hands, and had trouble with one of her pistols and the slide. her husband had been after her to either replace it or let him break it down for her, but one morning she did it herself and ended up dying.
Happened the morning her son was coming home on leave--she was cleaning everything.
(and then gossips floated that it was really suicide, even after investigation confirmed accident. no one who actually knew them thinks that she would ever have intentionally shot herself. made it so much more difficult for her family, still get angry over that, for them)

I think they tended to be blinsidedly idealistic ("War is not the answer")and of course many people tended not to have gotten the whole story on Stalin (Thanks NYT), but as I haven't read the Malcom Muggeridge story I don't know the specific as to how many people were involved. As I said I don't know if this teacher from Sidwell shouting at Pruitt was a Quaker; If so, IMO, she was a poor example of one. But of course, 40 years ago politeness was a generally more appreciated virtue than it is now where the view tends to be "If you can say it or do it, should should.",

Great, I assume that means they are willing to foot the bill for the billions of dollars in service and benefits these "holy immigrant families" will need each year? And they should also agree to be held personally liable to the U.S. crime victims for all damages they suffer at the hands of these "holy families," because that seems only fair.
Once they've ponied up a trillion dollar deposit, to show their good faith, we can talk. Until then, we don't need to hear any more from them.

The equations come out in neat, straight lines.
When he writes words, it's nearly unintelligible. Through strict discipline, he's managed it to where the words are in order, and in lines, but the spelling is still atrocious.

"Eager for the realization of their inordinate ambition to dominate the Orient, both America and Britain, giving support to the Chungking regime, have aggravated the disturbances in East Asia. Moreover these two Powers, inducing other countries to follow suit, increased military preparations on all sides of Our Empire to challenge Us. They have obstructed by every means Our peaceful commerce and finally resorted to a direct severance of economic relations, menacing gravely the existence of Our Empire. Patiently have We waited and long have We endured, in the hope that Our government might retrieve the situation in peace. But Our adversaries, showing not the least spirit of conciliation, have unduly delayed a settlement; and in the meantime they have intensified the economic and political pressure to compel thereby Our Empire to submission. This trend of affairs, would, if left unchecked, not only nullify Our Empire's efforts of many years for the sake of the stabilization of East Asia, but also endanger the very existence of Our nation. The situation being such as it is, Our Empire, for its existence and self-defense has no other recourse but to appeal to arms and to crush every obstacle in its path."

Huh. Never thought of my dad exerting power except he was the dad and my mom was the mom. "when you're under my roof you follow my rules" was valid in my mind even as a kid. "because I'm your mother" was said on more than one occasion. But then again my parents were strict but loving. So there's that.

Baseball sort of does. There are multiple cameras defining the strike zone at every park, and most of the upper minors too. MLB could switch to an automated strike zone tomorrow, from a tech standpoint. Right now they use the data to grade umpires.

I think the "no hats indoors" thing also serves as a means of self-selecting for the fellas who think they're better than the slobs who don't take their hats off.
In other words, rules are sometimes for a purpose, and that purpose is sometimes snobbery.
As for hats themselves, a hat should be used to keep the head warm or dry or cool or safe from hard objects. Otherwise, it's just vanity, and vanity, as is the case with other vices, keeps popping up because humans are silly and... well, vain.

Reason does not apply here. Forget that logic stuff.
Collins knows any judge that anyone would consider a conservative would likely vote to overturn Roe v Wade presuming such a case would even get there.
She is in the catbird seat now as the Republicans need every vote.
So what she wants is a judge to be sufficiently opaque about Roe v Wade so that she can cover her vote that she will get in exchange for whatever pork she lands for Maine.

I think taking hats off indoors might be because hats collected a lot of dust and dirt back in the day and when going indoors you would remove them to knock the dust off as a courtesy before going inside.

ancient custom of Knights who removed their helmets in the presence of
those they felt their friends and thus, before those they wished to
honor by showing that they trusted them. A man removes his hat before a
woman to show his respect. Touching the brim is but a perfunctory
salute."
So, you guys want to eff with the Knights, eh?
Posted by: blaster at July 03, 2018 12:50 PM (Z5y53)
Excellent. I always thought it was sign of respect for someones home. and a mark of courtesy to women. Removing your hat (when men wore has all the time) , standing up when a woman came to the table. Thats how it was presented to em as a kid. I stills stand when a woman comes to the table and I'm being introduced. But what silly stupid patriarchal rules. gees. the hate for traditions. I blame the 60's.

baseball hats should be worn backwards by catchers, who need to wear them that way because of the catchers mask.
Posted by: Bandersnatch at July 03, 2018 12:55 PM (fuK7c)
means of self-selecting for the fellas who think they're better than
the slobs who don't take their hats off.
In other words, rules are sometimes for a purpose, and that purpose is sometimes snobbery.
Posted by: BurtTC at July 03, 2018 12:45 PM (9chmE)
Or people who wear hats indoors are saying "f**k you I can be a d**k if i want" which is also a form of snobbery.
Posted by: Guido at July 03, 2018 12:50 PM (2CQCl)
Yeah, generally the exchange will occur in some manner, to show who is and who is not being the snob here.
If a dude is minding his own business, and doesn't yank the lid off the instant he crosses the threshold though, and the fops inside get their monocles in a twist, we kinda know who is doing what.
If he walks into a formal dining facility, with his ballcap on backwards, and starts farting in everyone's general direction, then sure. He's the problem.

I'd learned most etiquette as a kid from my folks and other sources.
As I realized that it was, in fact, becoming somewhat uncommon, I reveled in it.
Sometimes it backfired and wound wind up actually making girls uncomfortable. "Sit down, what are you doing?" "Getting your chair." "Why?" "It's what I do."
I'm making sure it is passed onto my children. Young Master Reason knows to hold the door for his sister and mom, which is hilarious sometimes because he will do it even while in the middle of an argument with his sister. My dad made it second-nature to me, and I've made it second-nature to him.

Don't be silly. If teh lady is performing on you, it's rude to even notice what she's wearing, on her head or anywhere else.
We're talking about your role as the performer. Doff your cap or not?
I say it depends on how bald your bald spot is. Me, my head is a luxurious mop of flowing locks. Why would I deprive the ladies the opportunity to see it?

Gays were CERTAIN that Obama would give them what they wanted, no matter what he had to say to get elected.

A fellow had taken an extra dose of Viagra to keep up with his horny bride, who wouldn't let him touch her until he had put up the new bedroom door he asked for.
He drilled a hole in the door for the knob, then decided it would be funny to stick his knob though the hole. She got wet, the two started having sex through the door and. . .well, you can imagine the rest.
