Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | EMT 2/22/20Today is going to be a delight. 14 of lil' girls bestest friends are coming over at 9:30 this morning for her 6th birthday celebration. I'm sure they will be nothing short of polite and well behaved and emotionally balanced in those ways that only kindergartners can be. My wife has already hidden away all the pointies and sharps which is going to make stabbing myself in the jugular far more difficult than is humane.

Good Morning Morons today is Saturday, February 22, 2020. On this date in 1934 FBI agents shot and killed notorious bank robber Pretty Boy Floyd in East Liverpool, Ohio,.

https://tinyurl.com/tk3a6se Posted by: Vic at February 22, 2020 06:03 AM (mpXpK) I had to click on that, since I know Loftus is actually on the more right-hand side of the political divide and once said that he was told his idea for a sitcom was wonderful, but because it slammed the right and the left, it would never be greenlighted. As far as I can see, Vic, the story actually says that Loftus says people who criticize Trump for praising GWTW are suffering from "end-stage Trump Derangement Syndrome." He isn't slamming Trump.

Krak if you're like me you'll miss those parties once they mature. I have two daughters and having a house full of giggling cuties fires up my protective instincts like nothing else.

Trustworthiness is the best drug around.

Greyhound goes woke and bows to SJWs. https://tinyurl.com/t26b84z Posted by: Vic at February 22, 2020 06:01 AM (mpXpK) The last time I rode a gayhound was in 1979. I was working at the Sears and could not get off until day before Christmas. I was going from Dallas to Shreveport. First thing is some guys were harassing a blind girl so I went and sat by her telling them to fuck off. She got off in Longview I think. Bus quit about 2 miles from station.

For me the real dividing line is between those who "get" Trump as a man, an individual (and by extension, a leader) and those who don't. Of course it's political, but it's more personal and psychological for me.

Now, that I think about it- Common epidemiological practice and common sense went out the window with the AIDS/HIV epidemic. And it's been that way ever since. Quarantine is primary weapon number one in the battle against an incurable disease that's spreading. When Ebola broke out in Africa a couple of years ago, the CDC could hardly wait to dump patients in the US. Same with that mysterious polio like virus that was crippling kids during Obama's reign of terror. Quarantine and isolate? Stop bringing in diseased illegal aliens? Nope. Open the food gates. So, bringing Chinese Murder Virus into the US? But, of course! Probably quarantine at Gitmo or maybe the Aleutians would've been a much better idea. Or leaving them in place.

I'm wondering if Eastwood voted for Trump over Cankles in '16. And if Blooms doesn't get the nomination, who will he vote for then? He must really dislike Donald Trump, which is a freaking shame considering all of the great things Trump has been doing for everybody. You'd think it'd be easy to see, but maybe "mean" words negate it all. I'm sorely disappointed in Eastwood as I thought he was more attuned to this country's tenuous grip on its founding Constitution and all. I get it. He never was Rush Limbaugh conservative. Still, I thought he understood more than he apparently does. My bad.

You pearl clutching motherfuckers. You're turning on Eastwood on scant evidence.
First off, this is a reported conversation in the back of a car with a WaPo reporter, it's not an endorsement. They were shooting the shit and he didn't diss Trump he just said the tweets were unfortunate. And he kind of likes Mike. Why not, Clint was also a mayor and thinks that mayoring is like presidenting and is good training. He may not follow every political zit the way we do. He's 90 and has an actual life. So he says something vague in a car to an unreliable reporter (WaPo, res ipsa loquitor) and you assclowns are ready to throw Dirty Josie Unforgiven under the Gran Torino? Punks.

205 Eastwood has his own production company, quite profitable -- He don't need no Bloomie bux to get his films out.
*** His company doesn't finance his films. His movies cost between $50 and $70 million, before marketing expenses. But his relationship with studios, financiers and distributors is excellent -- he's profitable, as well as a filmmaking legend and prestige partner. But he's just a blinkered old guy with marginal political judgment who never cared for Trump to begin with. Posted by: Dan Smoot's Apprentice at February 22, 2020 08:01 AM (H8QX8) 246

Hasn't GWTW been on the official "hit list" for a long time now? Yeah, they've been working hard to wipe it from America's movie history. The only cringe-worthy scene in that otherwise great movie is when Vivien Leigh smacks around Butterfly McQueen for not bringing the doctor back with her. If that's all it takes, a scene depicting a black slave, then there are a lot of movies that need to be cancelled. The Color Purple, Roots...

If the quote.." The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there" is accurate, I would say the Clint has expressed a preference for Mini-Mike over Trump.

"Well, suppose the entire quote was " The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there...
in the Dem primary!" That might change the expressed intent. Slightly. But, the quote I am reading ends in a period. Not those little rows of periods, indicating that text was not included in the quote. https://bit.ly/2T8cGq6 I guess we should give it the standard 48 hours to start having the truth shake out.

Hasn't GWTW been on the official "hit list" for a long time now? Yeah, they've been working hard to wipe it from America's movie history. The only cringe-worthy scene in that otherwise great movie is when Vivien Leigh smacks around Butterfly McQueen for not bringing the doctor back with her. If that's all it takes, a scene depicting a black slave, then there are a lot of movies that need to be cancelled. The Color Purple, Roots...

Posted by: Ladyl at February 22, 2020 08:19 AM (TdMsT) I'm battling Fidelity this year. Could not find an itemized list that I thought should be in the statement, so I called the help desk.* Once I got to a very nice lady and explained the problem, she said "Oh you just need to look at page 4 of that statement." I said in a calm voice, "Well I am looking at page 4, and it says "This page intentionally left blank!'" She said "Oops, oopsie, lets look on-line!" After some navigation through the web site, we found the form, and sure enough there was the information I needed, just not in the printed official from Fidelity. I asked for a revised hard copy! *Pro-tip, I learned that if you curse at the Fidelity automated operator/screener long and hard enough it will route you to an actual person.

I see I'm late to this thread. Waiting for the morning coffee break. And the saying, "The Left can't meme?" It's true also of former Repubs who now are pretending to be full-throated Dems in order to get votes (i.e., Bloomberg). I overheard my boss on Thursday morning.

Pennsylvania Red Cabbage
Heat 2 tablespoons bacon drippings or cooking oil in a big saucepan or Dutch oven. Stir in 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon caraway seed, and dash pepper. Add 4 cups shredded red cabbage and 2 cups cubed unpeeled apple, stirring to coat. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. For crisp cabbage, cook 15 minutes; for tender cabbage, cook about 30 minutes. Makes 5 or 6 servings. Posted by: bluebell - NoVaMoMe2020! at February 22, 2020 08:33 AM (/669Q) 433

That wouldn't surprise me. I've told before that my brother-in-law got rich selling compression technology to Bloomberg for his boxes and he said Bloomberg was brilliant. This is before the News, before Mayor, back when he was inventing crack for Wall Street traders. That's a realm where someone on the spectrum could thrive. And he seems genuinely baffled when people don't just like him. That could be either that he's insulated himself with his wealth, or that he's on the spectrum, or both.

This is also the vibe I get from Bloomberg. That because he's so wealthy that he's "entitled" to be President. I don't get that vibe from Trump.
-- Yes! I get the same feeling, Fen. I deeply sense that Blooms thinks his money entitles him to the presidency. I've never gotten that feeling about Trump. Trump doesn't stick his elitist nose in the air. Bloomberg does. At least, metaphorically. Posted by: Lady in Black at February 22, 2020 08:46 AM (JoUsr) 492

We can do etymology behind his back. "Stal", archaic German for steel. "Wart", the Dutch equivalent of "Wort", an intermediate product of beer production. Stalwart, the courage that comes from beer.

I overheard my boss on Thursday morning. He's not a big Trump fan, but he does vote R. His comment about the D debate: "Looking at those people, I knew there wasn't one of them I'd trust to run the country." Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius [/b[ at February 22, 2020 08:30 AM (4c+5M) That's why I think the Dim Elite will engineer a Brokered Convention, and then sp[ring somebody on us, who they can use like an Obama Blank Slate. That's their best option and probably why they brought in the Superdelegates after the first vote. They might go for someone who is part of a big contingent of their donating donors- Maybe Buttigieg cuz teh Gheys give a lot of moolah to the Dims. A lot. Or Hillary! or Warren for the Crazy Cat Lady Contingent cuz they also give a lot of bucks. Then they can sigh and say "we tried but (fill in the Blank) Americans aren't ready for a (fill in the blank President)." Bu-u-u-ut, I think it'll be somebody new or newish who's THE GREATEST AND MOST WONDERFUL AND WISE AND SPIRITUAL HUMAN BIENG EVAH AND WE'RE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THEM RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!11111!!!!!! And all the Dims will fall in line like they always do. Posted by: naturalfake at February 22, 2020 08:46 AM (z0XD8) 498

I think Aspies can do all kinds of things well. Who was it on the board (Jay Guevera?) who said he thought that a high percentage of scientists he knew were probably Aspies. Bloomberg has been very successful in his life, but I'm not sure being being President is the correct job for him since it requires so many diplomatic skills.

At Grandma Zod's house: Windmill cookies.
Everywhere else: Gingersnaps. Posted by: Zod If there was a store bought cookie in the house when I was growing. that's what we had Posted by: Bruce at February 22, 2020 * * The only cookies Mom "made" when I was growing up were the Pillsbury frozen dough chocolate chip cookies. Which used to be a better bargain than now; each slice from the roll was supposed to be cut in quarters, and each quarter made a complete decent-sized cookie. Otherwise it was Oreos or other Nabisco cookies. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius [/b[ at February 22, 2020 08:53 AM (4c+5M) 515

I can stand up straight for longer periods, and I have been able to sleep in my bed a couple of times. It's still bad, but it is improving. I have a spinal injection scheduled this Thursday. I hope it takes care of the rest of the symptoms, and I can avoid another surgery. Things are looking up. I need to drop a few pounds to take some of the pressure off of my back. It's tough to do so without exercise, and my diet is basically whatever takes the least amount of effort. The boy/man is getting some cooking lessons out of the deal. He is enjoying it. So, I am counting that as a win.

480 Actress portrayed in brutal gang rape scene in fear for her life but it's cool because she "shows a tit". Way to stay classy, y'all!
Posted by: Muldoon at February 22, 2020 08:44 AM (m45I2) A very fair argument, one I contemplated making, but due to brevity, I didn't. I could have also pointed out that she was portrayed as a simpleton taken advantage of by Josey after rescuing her from Mexican slavers, and left that part out too. Watch the whole movie, The Outlaw Josey Wales, if you want ALL the context. I highly recommend the movie. PS -- It shows The Union as a buncha unprincipled cocksuckers. Let's not forget that part of the movie. Posted by: GnuBreed at February 22, 2020 08:57 AM (Bj+ND) 522

krak, six through nine is when you can plant all sorts on nonsense in young folks' heads. I had my three nieces believing that there was such s creature as the "rare" Upper Peninsula Culvert Badger for a couple of years after I pointed out its lair during a hike up a hill outside our town. It helped that the father of two of them played off my riffs to further the creature's "history".
