361 Email just went out corporate wide announcing #BalanceforBetter, some nonsense about "Let's build a gender-balanced world" Here's an excerpt... Everyone has a part to play - all the time, everywhere. From grassroots activism to worldwide action, we are entering an exciting period of history where the world expects balance. We notice its absence and celebrate its presence. You will be made to care, in other words. You will not be permitted to be comfortable, in other words. No. Just. Fucking. No. Congratulations fascists, I'm now that much closer to spitting upon my hands and hoisting the black flag. Posted by: DocJ at March 01, 2019 09:27 AM (NYS7S) 8

Willowed comment from last thread :
Re: mega church sex scandal. I was expecting something along the lines of adultery or something similar but apparently it is "accusations of unwanted kissing, extended hugs, and lewd comments." Not that this is ok, if true, but has #MeToo come to the church? Unless the kissing was on the lips, I see these things as actions that could be misconstrued by the recipient. Anyway, the guy denied but resigned. Posted by: chique d'afrique at March 01, 2019 09:33 AM (9hauA) Posted by: chique d'afrique at March 01, 2019 09:36 AM (9hauA) 55

You know that ELP cover originally had a penis below her mouth sticking up towards her suggestively (and in reference to the title, Brain Salad Surgery, a blowjob) and the outer cover had a vice-like device, I guess indicative of the mouth action. ELP was forced to remove it by the record company, who claimed outlet stores would never stock it with the penis on the cover. Giger refused, and they got some staff artist to airbrush it out and make it into a "shaft of light" or so they say, I don't actualy see the "shaft" instead of the shaft.

Today's reading at Mass was from Sirach 6: 5 - 17. I think it's a nice reminder of what a friend should be, and shouldn't be (I have to admit that part made me think of Michael Cohen vis-a-vis his relationship with the president, LOL).
A kind mouth multiplies friends and appeases enemies, and gracious lips prompt friendly greetings. Let your acquaintances be many, but one in a thousand your confidant. When you gain a friend, first test him, and be not too ready to trust him. For one sort is a friend when it suits him, but he will not be with you in time of distress. Another is a friend who becomes an enemy, and tells of the quarrel to your shame. Another is a friend, a boon companion, who will not be with you when sorrow comes. When things go well, he is your other self, and lords it over your servants; But if you are brought low, he turns against you and avoids meeting you. Keep away from your enemies; be on your guard with your friends. A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure. A faithful friend is beyond price, no sum can balance his worth. A faithful friend is a life-saving remedy, such as he who fears God finds; For he who fears God behaves accordingly, and his friend will be like himself.

Damn!! Late to the thread!
This artist is fun, as CBD said, and I find his work fascinating. Look at the contrast of the two images in style and material. Both are highly effective and very different with the rough graphite or charcoal Troll versus the smooth detail and contours of the woman. Talk about establishing an aura or atmoshphere. I can't look at these works without thinking of story lines to go with them. Another Scandi (or Scandi-inspired) artist to add to the list. I have to learn more about Kittelsen and his images. I was surprised that the second painting pre-dates WW I. It could have been done yesterday. Thanks for another great Friday thread, CBD. Off to find out more about this guy.

They never were reachable. They didn't even really believe the stupid Russia scam, they just wore it conveniently because they hate Trump that much. They will change that like they change their socks for the next stupid scandal. Most normal people never cared about this garbage in the first place. And the left is scaring the crap out of them with their delusional thinking on many issues. And the blowback hasn't really started yet.

"I think there are an awful lot of people deep into delusional thought and it doesn't matter to them whether things or true or not. They just want to get rid of Trump by any means necessary."
Yes, but were never going to change their minds. The best you can do is de-energize them, give them a feeling of resignation and futility. The ones you want are the larger number of people who do not feel deeply about politics. You want those people to develop and express a sense of annoyance when *another* theory of Trumpian Perfidy is launched, people who will come to support Trump not out of love for him, but just to spite all of those other asses who keep bothering you with this stuff.

O/T, Just got an email from The Spice House in Milwaukee where we get most of our spices. They are having a 'discontinued' sale on some items to make room for other seasonal offerings. Some of the sales are up to 75 percent off. We just placed an order.
If you don't get their emails, go to their website and enter 'discontinued' in the search box. The prices listed already show the sale price. Along with the spices and blends, they also offer frankincense and myrrh for incense or those with delusions of godhood. Posted by: JTB at March 01, 2019 10:21 AM (bmdz3) 293

Estimated to be 3 to 4 months old, which makes me wonder where the mother was, as mtn liion cubs usually stay with the mother for 1-2 years.

I don't get the line they were pursuing about understating the value of buildings for tax assessments. Heck, everyone does that, then the appraiser has their opinion, then you go to the review board and to court and then you settle. Where's the crime? It's like they have no idea how things actually work.

I noticed that Cuomo was quoted as telling AMZ "look you've got 70% support here, why not just fight it out?" He apparently doesn't understand that in Nashville, where they going to expand their already planned office, they've got 100% support from the local community, which wants the jobs. In Alexandria, same thing, they've got 100% support. Why would AMZ mess around with any place where 30% of the locals don't want them there? AMZ should call Cuomo's bluff and tell him "yeah sure we'll come back, but now we want $20 billion worth of tax subsidies!" btw - look at how, when the real deal making comes down, Bezos and Trump negotiate the same way.

Posted by: HA --------- I don't see how they can at this point. The media have made her the new face of the Party, and the #Resistance, and turned her into a national household name. It would be embarrassing in a general sense to try and kneecap her, now. But even if they do, her very, very liberal constituents are seeing her face every day, several times a day, in the national news. They're Dem zombies, and 'm sure she's a hero to them by now. If they primary her, I expect it would be futile, and just big fat bloody nose for them in that district. Also, it would damage unity with the base nationwide (which Dems, unlike Reps, actually care about). I think if they want rid of AOC, they'll have to eliminate her district.

I agree with you completely. The only thing I would modify is it was definitely to cover up other crimes. Trump was an existential threat to a world order that made some people, not just Americans, extremely rich and powerful. Globalists weren't just a boggey man theory, they have been in charge on both sides of the aisle pretty much since the end of WWII with little interruption. Nationalism is their sunlight.

At night, in our back yard, I've seen both our cats come close to an opossum, and when they walk by each other it's like "oh hi frank!" "yeah hi George, how's work these days?""Oh same old same old, checkin' out that trash can there. See you tomorrow"> Now the raccoons sometimes they growl and hiss at, but the raccoons can be kinda scary when they want. Posted by: Tom Servo at March 01, 2019 * *. . . Then there must be something off about the way opossums look and smell to cats that eliminates the weird-looking marsupials from the "prey" category. Opossums are sort of primitive-looking anyhow.

She is like the bratty child who starts telling all the adults in the room what to do and what is right and wrong. Everyone thinks she's cute, and laughs. And moreover, she gets a lot of attention. Right now, the Dems love her because she is giving them lots of attention and is keeping Nancy Pelosi off the front page with her obvious gaffes and dementia like forgetfulness. So she is extremely useful to them at this point. The Dems are allowing an obviously repeat offender in Tahlib whatshername to continuously state and post anti semitic and racist claims, doing zero about it. Why? Because they are getting funding and money from anti Israel donors and probably organizations such as Hamas. So they will roll their eyes and pretend to have scolded her, when they actually are in agreement with her and want the money train to continue.

490 Yep, and New York is going to have to give a couple of districts to Texas"
Why should states like that have the same representation as Texas?" Texas has 36 congressional districts, New York has 27. After the next census, that's likely to at *least* go to 38 and 25, respectively. New York could lose more than that, which is why they are so desperate to allow illegals to be counted. (but oddly enough that boost's Texas representation too) Posted by: Tom Servo at March 01, 2019 11:17 AM (Kpl3J) 501
473 When gun fanatics say they need AR-15s to "defend against government tyranny," they're really saying if the democratic process doesn't go their way they will resort to terrorism and violence.
Precisely right. There are certain things that, regardless of votes or laws or rulings, I will personally veto. Very perceptive. Posted by: GroggNog at March 01, 2019 11:09 AM (rWl4b) Shhh. That's supposed to be a surprise. Now how are we going to enjoy the look on their face when they try to disarm us? Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, buy ammo at March 01, 2019 11:17 AM (bcbK8) 502

223 Did Yes do the six Wives of Henry the Eighth? I vaguely remember the album but I can't remember the artists.
And, yes, phrasing. Posted by: Northern Lurker, irritable, so very irritable. Have I mentioned I'm irritable? at March 01, 2019 10:06 AM (JgA4k) Nope. That was a solo album by Rick Wakeman. Posted by: Sooner at March 01, 2019 11:18 AM (Fs5vw) 505
By the way, what's the over and under that the Republicans totally screw up their response to Cory Booker's new bill legalizing recreation marijuana federally?
Right now, ( I haven't seen the bill , don't know it's specifics) Booker is going to get a lot of under 45 year old support for not just his bill, but his presidential campaign. And don't underestimate it. Recreational marijuana legalization is why Michigan now has a female progressive governor who is already screwing things up, a female progressive AG and Debbie Stabenow reelected Senator. That one ballot initiative brought out every 18-35 year old in the state who then also voted democrat to make sure their new found toking freedom would be in no way impeded by a republican government. Stewart Varney wants Trump to beat Corey to the punch and reschedule marijuana as a class II instead of a class I drug. Considering how Trump feels about addictive drugs, I don't know what he will do with that one. Posted by: Jen the original at March 01, 2019 11:23 AM (3VmCZ) Processing 0.07, elapsed 0.061 seconds. |
