I penned these thoughts in a moment of inspiration earlier, but determined in the spirit of acknowledgement for cobloggers that put heart and soul into their fantastic content, that it should be reserved for an open thread.
So, Ye of the ONT must forgive me for my long winded ramblings. It is my sincerest hope that my musings might provide a moment of mild amusement from my otherwise inane thoughts, that you, my friends, should all find enjoyment in an otherwise mad world. Rend it asunder, if you must:
I may not be a smart man Jenny, but I know what enjoyable is.
I had a haircut today. It was performed in a makeshift salon, my closed bar, outfitted with an orange extension cord for the clippers to reach the staging grounds of said shearing, an office chair with a handle to raise and lower, an old, repurposed Formula 409 spray bottle filled with water for spritzing, a grease-stained cooks apron for the stylist to don and a 33 gallon trash bag with a hole cut out for yours truly to keep the trimmed hair off, replete with a toilet paper collar to keep stray hairs from making their way down my collar and my back.
In spite of the less than optimal accouchements, there are many things in life that are enjoyable, but few rival the feeling of a nubile blonde with supple, pert breasts pressing against one's back as she runs her hands through your hair while removing excess fur from your head.
Is a picturesque sunset magical? Is God's voice whispered in a strong breeze blasting through a willow tree? Does the rich, buttery taste of a marbled ribeye inspire poetry? Is the smell of bacon being cooked coupled with the aroma of coffee brewing proof that the Lord above is good and wants, above all, for us to be happy?
The answer, of course, is yes to all of these things.
But among the many bestowments of the living God, is the tender attention of a skilled female beautician trimming away the hairs of inequity from above the ear line whilst you sip Ford's gin and Fever Tree tonic with a healthy squeeze of ruby red grapefruit juice.
Rejoice Horde, and celebrate the simple, yet wonderful, ways in which the Creator has blessed us.
Breasts of a blonde are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

In a strip of stores up at the corner, these chain stores are now open:
Michael's (crafts supplies)
Marshall's (clothing, housewares)
Stein-Mart (clothing, accessories)
A Petco at the end never closed.
The only one not opened today is Ulta (beauty supplies) They have a salon specializing in skin, so that may be why. We have no word yet in SW FL about salons, haircut joints, tattoo work, nails, massage.

She took off about 90 lbs of hair, I reckon.

There should be a deck of cards on that table and at least a hand of some decent card game like 'Go Fish!' Maybe 'Crazy 8s'. But fucking dominoes? Puh-leeze.

Pro Tip: If your wood chipper or garbage disposal is jammed, get a broom to try and fix it.
Do not put your hand or leg in as you may not pull it out.

"Nurse," he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and
pulls back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other.
She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly,
"Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very,
very, closely:
"Are - my - test - results - back?"

Got a haircut today. It was surprisingly easy. Made the appointment, was told "I'm ready" but had to get the facemask first. After that, it went well. I still look horrible but that's just me. Otherwise fine, hope you are all having a great weekend. Be well, and be GREAT.

In spite of the less than optimal accouchements, there are many things in life that are enjoyable, but few rival the feeling of a nubile blonde with supple, pert breasts pressing against one's back as she runs her hands through your hair while removing excess fur from your head.

Do not put your hand or leg in as you may not pull it out.

There's an old joke about a fellow leaving church where the minister has just preached a sermon on The Ten Commandments. The man is very downcast, and staring down at his feet as he walks. Abruptly he brightens, looks up, and says, 'I've never committed adultery!'

An old boyfriend of mine was researching his family tree and discovered that his great-great grandfather, who was a farmer in southern Illinois, died when he was plowing - with horses. The horses bolted and he got tangled in the traces and was dragged face down in the mud. He actually suffocated from the mud in his nose and throat. My boyfriend showed me the article about it from the local paper. He found it quite disturbing.
Farm life was tough in those days.

So I went down an internet rabbit hole today reading up Motorola. I stumbled across and article from *2004* with this gem:
Fontana urges U.S. companies, particularly when they take production offshore to East Asia, to "really aggressively war game" their supply chains, analyzing threats and readying such defenses as back-up production sources in Mexico. Indeed, SARS should serve as "a wake-up call" and get executives thinking about whether in their efforts to cut costs they've emphasized efficiency at the expense of responsiveness in their supply chains, says Jay Swaminathan...
Lesson status: Not Learned.

If you can't taper hair without using a plastic snap on thing you aren't a barber, you're a hair stylist.
That's why, and a few other reasons, there are barber schools and licenses and stylist schools and licenses.
To be fair, I never wanted to squeeze, suck or nuzzle a barbers boobies.

Greetings:
Hearing the early Little Richards records today brought to mind how saxophones disappeared from rock and roll for way too long during the British Invasion and afterwards as "guitar bands" came to dominate. Whatever problem one has with Springsteen's politics, his band did an awful lot to reintegrate the reeds in rock and roll.

Thanks for the ONT MH.
Tonight I felt I had to call a coworker to reassure her about some govt bureaucratic BS she was worried about. I've been in my job 31 yrs and she's been in hers maybe 2.
We had a nice convo but in it she said...we're living a dystopian novel. I've been saying that to my wife many times lately, posted it here.
It's not so freaky as we were both young readers of futuristic novels, like 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and Animal Farm. I thought she might be leftist (bigly arm tatted, but covers nowdays).
Nice surprise to find out that at least she's not a Lefty nut.

Huey Lewis used the sax a lot.
I've picked up the sax again after last playing over 30 years ago. I still suck.

My dad was also raised on a farm. He was horsing around with his dad's shotgun when he was about 7 and accidentally shot his brother in the thigh. My dad got the beating of his life for that, and still felt terrible about it for the rest of his life although his brother forgave him and they were quite close. He said if the shot had been 2 inches higher and to the right, our cousins wouldn't exist.
I have a picture of my grandpa holding that same shotgun and standing proudly next to a huge wolf he shot on the farm. Grandpa died long before I was born. From all accounts, he was a fearsome old coot.

I guess that's strike three for Texas, after strike one being Meal Team 6 and strike two being the jailing of a hairdresser because she would not apologize to a tyrant judge for the crime of opening her hair salon.
Bad things really do come in threes.

"Hearing the early Little Richards records today brought to mind how saxophones disappeared from rock and roll for way too long during the British Invasion and afterwards as "guitar bands" came to dominate."
Long-time Stones sax man Bobby Keys would be surprised to hear that. Listen to him on "Live with Me" and "Bitch."

Saw his hair get cut in front but thank god that was all. Lucky dumb shit.

Haircuts - maybe if I had Bitter Clinger's barber...! But, I haven't had mine cut in years. "♪ Don't never have to cut it 'cause it stop by itself."
And besides, I do have Milady to brush it out and tie it back for me every morning. Getting harder to do that myself as the joints gets stiffer - on my own, I'd cut it off in a minute.
But, I did scrape off eight months of scruffy beard and trim up the mustache before seeing the dentist last week, so he wouldn't have to dig through the curtains to find my mouth.
Kinda miss the longer mustache hairs, though. It was getting long enough to floss while I eat.

I enjoyed the musical interlude, especially the ballade by Gottschalk. One small quibble, though: the picture to the left of the title is of Scott Joplin, not Louis Moreau Gottschalk. Both were great American composers, one black and the other white; both composed uniquely American music; but it does no credit to either man to confuse them.

Friend of mine taught himself to play sax. Used to call be up and play some pop tunes he'd learned. I visited him after he'd been playing for a couple of months and he couldn't wait to play for me. It took me a while to break the news to him that he was playing with the mouthpiece upside down (reed up). After I convinced him, he turned up around and tried to play and it was awful. He was heart broken. So was I.

Well, I have resumed working on the poor wretched Panhard. Got a lot done today. The brand new fuel line I installed last Fall was plugged solid. I took a speedometer cable core, and tried rodding it out from the rear. Fed the whole thing in, and hit nothing. Went to the front, fed the core in, and in less than a foot, I hit something. Managed to break through. Mud daubers maybe? Got back underneath and blew it out with air. All fixed.
Welded up the corners where the rocker panels meet the inner fenders.
Mounted the multifunction switch in the steering column jacket. That's: lights, signals, horn, and hi/low beam all in one.
Worked on building a harness for the instrument cluster, and patched up the decayed plastic bezel that goes over it.
And that was about it.

More idiocy from the Golden State: now they're banning gas hookups in new construction because climate change. Anybody who does more cooking than heating up a can of soup on the range every so often knows cooking on a gas stove is far superior to cooking on an electric range. You'd think chefs would be outraged about this - but maybe they're too worried about having a business to go back to to worry about stoves at this point.

At the risk of appearing argumentative, those were late '60s songs and the sax was an add-on, not an original group instrument. I also remember the Climax Blues Band which had an integrated sax. But again, an exception to the guitar band rule.
Not that I didn't enjoy the records you all mentioned

I love cribbage. A good, fast moving card game, with a scoring board so you don't need paper and pencil. Three-handed is cutthroat. I never played whist, but I've always wanted to learn after reading the Horatio Hornblower novels.
I also love backgammon. For money and with the doubling cube in play. Made beer money in college playing that. You learn risk/reward in that game real fast. Thought bubble: "Only double twos will kill me." And they would.

More idiocy from the Golden State: now they're banning gas hookups in new construction because climate change. Anybody who does more cooking than heating up a can of soup on the range every so often knows cooking on a gas stove is far superior to cooking on an electric range. You'd think chefs would be outraged about this - but maybe they're too worried about having a business to go back to to worry about stoves at this point.

Oh gawd, I hate electric stoves. Grew up with a gas stove, learning to cook on that. Then I had two electric stoves in my college apartments. Couldn't stand cooking on them, always burning stuff. Have had gas stoves ever since. You just can't simmer properly on an electric stove. An electric stove may be okay for baking, but not stove-top cooking.

Turned out she was not wearing the anti static strap and
she was arcing to the metal cabinet through her nipples.
Took her a little bit to explain what the problem was.

The newer ones with continuously variable temperature settings are way better than the old pieces of shit that had 4 or 5 discrete settings (all of which were wrong for every purpose).
But still, yeah, gas is better. There's a reason why "Now we're cooking with gas!" used to be a catchphrase.

Almost everything is in the steering column on this puppy. Gear shift, choke, heater controls, all switches. A prior owner put some illuminated rocker switches into the top of the plastic instrument bezel, for things like fog and rally lights. I am going to repurpose two of them to act as turn signal telltales, since none are provided in the instrument cluster.

Indeed. You are talking about WI? My family has roots in Green Co going back to the 1840s.
Posted by: Farmer at May 09, 2020 10:48 PM (BPHer)
The old boyfriend was from Southern Illinois and his family had farmed there for many generations.
My dad's farm was about 10 miles away from where I am now, overlooking Lake Michigan. I walked though the old farm the other day - it's now filled with condos and there's a bike path that goes though it. The area used to be rural when my dad was a kid but by the time I was born it was all suburban. My father remembered where everyone's farm used to be - I'd take a ride with him and he'd point at a gas station and say "that's where the Mueller's silo was."

I can do the same with the suburb my brother now lives in. When I left the Milwaukee area in the early 80's it was still farmland. When I moved back 15 years later, it was all subdivisions. The house my brother lives in is on a farm that we used to go to to pick strawberries and beans in the summertime.

The old boyfriend was from Southern Illinois and his family had farmed there for many generations.
My dad's farm was about 10 miles away from where I am now, overlooking Lake Michigan. I walked though the old farm the other day - it's now filled with condos and there's a bike path that goes though it. The area used to be rural when my dad was a kid but by the time I was born it was all suburban. My father remembered where everyone's farm used to be - I'd take a ride with him and he'd point at a gas station and say "that's where the Mueller's silo was." He could point out the old boundries of the farms and who had lived there.

I managed to move 9 bags of potting soil from the front of the house to the back yard. Two trips tomorrow and I'll be done. Frustrating to me because I used to lift heavier stuff. But I'm out of shape from being sick and don't want to push myself too hard. And I think I'm buying an electric string trimmer next week. I don't think I can handle the gas models and whatever we have is in the garage. Better off to buy something I can handle.

I am all-in on gas stoves, which I picked up from my mother who has always made having a gas stove a priority. Her new house has an electric cooktop, and as soon as her old house sells that is going bye-bye.
She has in her basement a Chambers gas stove+oven that looks like a Buick. Her mother had one and about 15 years ago or so she found a good example and bought it. I have moved it a couple of times.
After moving in to her new house, my brother and I told her to pick where it was going to go because I was never moving it again as long as I live. It's great and uses an awesome "daisy burner" design, but it it doesn't just look like a Buick - it weighs like one, too...

Both the cellular and GPS antennae plug in right being the stereo. Unplugging those and tucking the leads away will put an end to that. The system will be live and running but no signal. Good enough for me.

++++++++++++++++
That stove has an interesting pilot/ignition system. The pilot is central and there is a small pipe ringing the pilot light. When you turn on the gas to a burner, gas also flows through the pipe, catches fire from the pilot, and ignites the burner. The pipe then stops gas from flowing because the burner gets all of it.
As a side effect of this constant pilot light at the top of the stove and at the center, they could add a benefit. They cut a hole in the steel stove top (allows you to check and light the pilot) and put a small brass burner over it. It is specifically for easily and quickly melting butter without having to turn on a burner.

My Mom's Mom could bake in a wood-burning stove. That takes some serious skill; no temperature dial. That stove could get hot and, with the double burner cast iron inset griddle (with a rim so it sank down into the fire/coals), made the absolute best pancakes I've ever had. Nothing has compared since.
I now have that double burner cast iron inset griddle. When I got it after my Aunt died, my Mom told me if I hang it on the wall as 'art', she'd take it back. The first time I visited after getting the pan, I was grilled (pun intended) if I had used it. Told her some of the things I cooked in it and she just smiled and the subject was never brought up again. I cook lots of things in that griddle to this day including, yes, pancakes. Also sausages on one end and peppers and onions on the other end. A narrow cast iron griddle, with rim, covering two burners. After so many decades cooking with that griddle, I'd be lost without it. Thanks, Grandma!

With National Security exceptions, of course. Don't want to make the Los Alamos and Livermore nuclear explosion simulation code public, of course. And similar stuff.

Yeah, all of my great-grandmothers could do that.
Using a wood or coal range to make three meals a day for 50 years or so will give you an understanding of fire on the same level as Anderson Cooper's ability to google for gay porn.

Upside: Lightweight and high energy efficiency.
Downside: Difficult and expensive to service, lower durability/more frequent replacement.

You know what they say about how so many people, through poor planning and "bad luck," are only as far away from disaster as one vehicle repair, one major appliance breakdown, or one major medical bill?
I've hit the trifecta. I'd say "What do I win?" But I think I already collected my 'prize.'

I am basically rewiring the car from first principles. The harness was in a real mess, and some of it burnt. I have a factory shop manual, but the wiring diagrams are singularly useless. It shows a mess of parallel lines coming out of the headlight switch, each color coded, like "marron-jaune", but those parallel lines all disappear into a "woven-tube" graphic, and the colors on the other end aren't relatable. And some of the stuff they did is just plain weird. Like the high-beam indicator. Socket is insulated, and the shell of it connects to the low-voltage side of the voltage reducer that supplies the gas gauge. Center contact? The diagram shows the wire vanishing into that big woven tube, never to be seen again. So I am grounding the shell of the socket, and will connect the center terminal to the high-beam headlights at a terminal strip on the firewall. That's the way that nearly every other manufacturer did it. It will work.

Yes, I encourage everyone to read that Lockdownskeptics piece on Ferguson's code.
The Imperical College was shamed into releasing it. Sort of. They were so ashamed of Ferguson's actual code that they hired Microsoft engineers to clean it up and make it presentable for public review.
It's on Github now, and anyone can clone and review it.
But they aren't going to release his original code, as they're too ashamed of it. It was one single source file, 15K lines long. A mess.
And while MS may have made it more presentable, the problems with the actual model are still there. They just made cosmetic changes mostly.

I'd forgotten how many amazing songs they had. My entire college experience hit me at about 1000 mph. Well, that and a solid buzz, but whatever...

I mean Haley Reinhart is probably a commie too, but she keeps her mouth shut about it for the most part.
What is it Michael Jordan said 30 years ago? "Republicans buy sneakers, too"?
And now they are intent on destroying him.

He definitely swung both ways, and he'd be the first to tell you that.
He also enjoyed being cucked, apparently. In his biography, he claimed that he often let other men have sex with his wife while he watched, including Buddy Holly.

Speaking of smart cars refusing to transport you, this was predicted (along with much else) fifty years ago by Philip K. Dick.
An apartment in one of his novels had a "smart door" (it would talk to you), and the protagonist couldn't leave his apartment because the smart door insisted that he hadn't paid his door fee for the month.

Well, the individual components of the electrical system are pretty solid. And they had the brains to use separate bulbs for the turn signal and stop light functions, so the signal switch doesn't have to involve the stoplight circuit.

It's ironic that Steely Dan tours so much nowadays.
I've heard that when they were originally together from 1972 to 1980, they mostly didn't and wouldn't tour, because Fagen was so concerned about how they would sound.

We switched over to electric because gas is soooo dirty. All of the water vapor from the combustion of the gas ends up making a sticky, gummy film that coats the ceiling and walls. There are times when the electric stove makes cooking frustrating, but I do not miss that gum-covered ceiling.

I own an electric/ wood stove. It's basically a wood stove and an electric stove on the same base. I doubt I can take it with me when I go. The electric side has its own fuse box, but needs to be rewired. I've cooked on several wood cookstoves. You need to know your woods to be able to bake well.
I would love to have one again but suspect it may not be wise, given the state of my lungs.

He might have used in Ubik too, but I think it was originally from one of this other novels. He wrote a lot of novels - forty-four, according to Wikipedia. Not bad for a guy who died at 53 - but then, he was occasionally reduced to eating dog food, because he was so poor.
He died right before Blade Runner came out, followed by Total Recall, Minority Report, and Amazon's Man In The High Castle (which Amazon butchered).

Ah. I hope they survive, too. Any number of large towns/small cities have a standalone JCP or have on anchoring a very small mall. They are very useful in those settings.

This house came equipped with a GE glass top, four burner stove & oven. Pretty high end for 2008, it had a $1,600 MSRP even then.
It was easily the most accurate and versatile electric I've ever used or owned.
Alas, the whole kitchen suite now is some high-end LG stuff. Also, electric~glass top, but only because this subdivision has exactly ZERO gas utilities available, by design. Freakin' greenies, you guessed it.
The LG has required an entirely new learning curve for me. Each "burner" reacts differently to the control dials. I've got that part pretty whipped now, but would have to provide notes for anyone else to cook on the thing.
It's worst attribute? Even with the heat OFF, each burner retains heat for a very long time, and will continue to cook for well over five minutes.
I've become quite adept at moving a pot mostly off the burner as needed, just to keep things "hot", but not getting "hotter".
The one good thing?
The oven will go to 550, while the old GE only went to 450.
All the difference in the world, for a quality pizza.
Would still prefer gas though, seriously.
I could confound the planners, and install propane, I suppose?

We switched over to electric because gas is soooo dirty. All of the water vapor from the combustion of the gas ends up making a sticky, gummy film that coats the ceiling and walls. There are times when the electric stove makes cooking frustrating, but I do not miss that gum-covered ceiling.

I've used gas stoves my entire adult life, and I've never had a "gummy film" problem.

I've heard that when they were originally together from 1972 to 1980, they mostly didn't and wouldn't tour, because Fagen was so concerned about how they would sound.
Posted by: qdpsteve at May 09, 2020 11:40 PM (L2ZTs)
They tour because touring is where the money's at now. In the '70's, every performer hoped for big record sales - get a few Number 1 hits and have an album go gold and you had it made. The Beatles quit touring in the '60's because they were concerned about how crappy the sound systems were in huge venues. Didn't hurt their income too much because they were selling a zillion records. They also got coin from the songs playing on the radio.
Concert tickets were cheap - the tours existed to promote record sales. I normally paid $8 to $10 to see top bands in the '70's.
Nowadays, when I hear of people shelling out $800 to see a concert - I'm glad I saw a lot of those bands when they were actually in their prime and you didn't have to take out a loan to see them.

Why does this term "asymptomatic" keep getting tossed around in COVID-19 discussions?
I found it defined as "showing no symptoms, having no symptoms, feeling no symptoms."
Wouldn't it be clearer to say -- oh, I dunno -- HEALTHY??
So why the $50 word? I have my suspicions.

I'm all in on gas stoves, as well. A benefit that's easy to forget - one winter a tree came down through the power lines to my block, and it took 3 days to get the electricity back on. BUT I still could cook as well as ever, plus at least keep the kitchen hot, because my Gas Stove kept on working through all of it.

Same with me during the August, 2003 blackout. While others were boiling water to make instant, I could make real coffee on the stove in a metal percolator pot I kept around for just such emergencies. That pot earned it's keep -- and a permanent place in my kitchen cabinet -- those couple of days, that's for sure.

Well, it's pretty clear there is a fairly long incubation period for this disease, defined as the time between when you become infected, and the time that symptoms appear. WuFlu is scarcely unique in that respect.

Tom Servo, also Souplantatoin in the restaurant sector. Cheesecake Factory is also supposedly teetering on the very edge; I think they'll survive but have to cut their menu by at least 50%. (In fairness I think it's ridiculously huge anyway.)
I admit things look pretty dark for buffets especially. IMHO some of them can survive but they'll have to change their operations radically, i.e., no more self-serve; you'll point to something 10 feet away and the masked chef will put it on a plate and hand it to you.

Touring in the 1970 and 80s was promotion, essentially!ly. At least for the big acts like Steely Dan. Becker and Fagen figured, shrewd as they were, that the marginal promotion wasn't worth the effort.They didn't make much money off it. It could boost album sales, which could be astronomical and certainly sustained their livelihoods, but nobody knew by now much. Touring itself was a loser. That started to change in the 90s. Touring became more organized and lucrative, thanks to corporate sponsorship (Sir Michael Phillip Jagger, CEO of Rolling Sones, Inc saw to that). Coupled with online streaming and the collapse of record sales, ALL the money's in touring these days. New music promotes live dates now. Next to no money in new music itself.

It astounding that Sears has managed to juggle their books to stay alive as long as they have. They should have died a decade ago.
And it's kind of funny, in retrospect, that they had everything to dominate in the 21st century. In the early 90s, they sold a simple computer terminal with a modem that could connect through a captive online service. It never sold very well. Sears canceled the program the same year that they got rid of their catalogue offering.
The idea to combine them and sell a subsidized terminal (or give it away) to browse an "online" version of the catalogue never got off the ground.
They had literally everything they needed to be Amazon - with the incalculable added benefit of a powerful brand and consumer trust - and never converted to pick up a 5-7 year head start.

=======
We did have an exhaust hood, but it was not very good, so that was part of the problem. You have to remember that the old stoves had the pilot light, so there was continuous combustion of the gas. We have a gas grill that we can use year-round for steaks, etc... on the back deck, so that helps with not missing the gas stove's instant adjustability.
I've used gas stoves my entire adult life, and I've never had a "gummy film" problem.

So I ran across this today:
The Roaring Fork Transit Authority is a commercial public bus system running from Glenwood Spgs to Aspen. It's primary function is getting resort workers (maids, busboys, etc.) from the bedroom communities of El Jebel and Glenwood Sprgs to and from Aspen.
They announced a nearly $10 million dollar loss due to the COVID. Fare revenue is projected to be down over 50% for the year. I think though that I may have discovered the big reason for this:
Fare revenue is expected to sink by 53.2%. RFTA has drastically reduced service to prevent large gatherings and adhere to social-distancing requirements. In addition, it has ceased collecting fares to enhance driver and passenger safety.

Yep, that's in the running for the most boneheaded business blunder of all time.
A strong second-place contender: Kodak inventing the friggin' digital camera, then doing nothing with the patents because they were worried it would hurt film sales.
They were right about that, as it turns out.

Asymptomatic means asymptomatic infections, people who are infected with the virus, but have no symptoms. Hell, maybe 50% of those infected will be this way.
I saw the first local example of mac rebellion against the lockdown today - a farmers market where people definitely not practicing social distancing, and few people seemed to be wearing masks. It was the first day over 80 in suburban Portland.
My county of a third of a million had a peak of seven official CCP virus cases a day, dropped to three, and has risen back up to four.
With 3-4 cases a day, your chances of contracting CCP virus in the next three months are one in a thousand. People are noticing.

My sister finally moved in with me and my mom about 9 months ago. Plus: she can't pay rent, so she's worked like a dog to get our house cleaned up, and down a fantastic job. She also fixes dinner a lot of nights, which helps me and my mom out tremendously.
Bad news: she's moody and gets into fights with my mom from time to time, who just can't emotionally handle it anymore. Thankfully they usually make up a few hours or days later.

Right up there: Xerox.
Their corporate heads created the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) because they knew two things to be true:
1) Micro electronics in general and computers in particular were too important to ignore
2) They were too set in their ways to understand it
So they set up PARC in Silicon Valley, deliberately choosing that area instead of the New England tech hubs because it was *far* away from Rochester. They wanted to prevent corporate meddling.
It was incredibly forward-thinking. But that second part came to fruition anyway. PARC delivered amazing technology that would set the stage for computing for *decades* - including many things we use today. And Xerox largely couldn't figure out what to do with it besides the laser printers and let a lot of IP walk out the door because they didn't see the value.

Also available are electric hybrids cooking surfaces, with both induction and infrared burners. The induction burners can be controlled similar to gas, so you'd definitely want a saute pan and maybe a tea kettle (induction-suitable cookware is expensive). Simmering stuff in traditional pots could then be done on the infrared burners.

Sears warehousing was set up to distribute to their stores and support their catalog operations. Amazon didn't have to worry about these inefficient costs in their sales model. Sears never caught on.
And of course, web sales are self-service, so costs drop there, too.
Of course, Sears had a lot of other problems, too.
Looking back, I had a brother and a couple of good friends work there, and a couple of relatives used to deliver Kenmore appliances for them.
And I still remember walking into the downtown Tacoma store many times as a teen, before they closed and moved to the Tacoma Mall,.
Sears, once ubiquitous, now history.
And just think... Sears could have strangled Amazon in the crib. They had everything going for them but they just wouldn't exploit it.

Actually Xerox had the right mission statement for Xerox PARC - to come up with at least one invention with the commercial impact of the invention of xerography.
PARC came up with several, but ossified management on the other side of the country never figured out how to exploit them.

I used to work for a tree trimming company and had to use a big 6 cylinder gas engine chipper.
They can pull a six inch dia. tree trunk/branch in like it was tissue paper. When loading we were warned to be careful and not grip the branches too tightly or be entangled in them in such a way we could not let go. The blades are set in a cylinder at such an angle that as they cut they pull the material in further for the next blade to grab. And those blades are SHARP.
It can pull in large bundles of branches and has no problem pulling in your arm or leg and once you're that close to the blade it continues to chop away and pull you further in by bits and bits until it either stalls on pulls you all the way.
Most cannot ingest a normal sized man as the Trunk of their body is too dense and large but they can chop off a leg up to the crotch and an arm up to the shoulder.
Smaller people have to beware.
I'm hoping that chipper was not running cause I don't see how he managed to escape.
Gives me chills just remembering doing the job.

But don't weep for the Roaring Fork Transit Authority. They will be receiving $15.7 million in federal grants this year, twice their usual allocation.
One of the reasons I took early retirement is that the big bucks folks in Aspen had a standard practice of hiring illegals and minimum wage legal immigrants, then outsourcing their healthcare to Medicaid, at taxpayer expense. Same with transportation it seems. Same thing goes with the big meatpacking plant in Greeley.
Corporate welfare is alive and well in the age of COVID.

Interesting about the hybrid IR/induction cooktops.
I hope to switch from electric to gas before too long. You can heat with electric, but not really cook. Lived somewhere else for many years that had gas, definitely prefer it. Also, though secondary - not nearly the same Idiocy Tax on gas (in CA, where electric rates are, completely artificially and needlessly of course, outrageous, due to Unicorn Energy Idiocy).

I got intrigued by this "film buildup" from the gas stove thing and looked it up a bit. This happens with both gas stoves and other unvented gas burners.
The cause is likely contamination in the combustion air. Impurities in the air get sucked up and mixed in and burn in the flame. The products of these and the water vapor produced are what make the yellow "film" apparently.
Tobacco smoke residue, pet dander, and polyurethanes used in floor waxes and furniture polish are the worst offenders.
Another cause with gas stoves is too high a flame. Flame that licks up the side of the pan or pot will get cooled down and/or more easily pick up contamination, like grease and proteins and stuff from the food.

PARC came up with several, but ossified management on the other side of the country never figured out how to exploit them.
Similar case I heard of was of a biotech firm in California that had developed several innovative new drugs.
Key to the corporate culture was the Friday afternoon beer blast - they brought some kegs into the central courtyard, and everyone in the firm attended.
It was a key informal corporate information network. You want to talk to the CEO? He's right over there. You have an intractable research problem? Chat with someone in a different group who is working on a similar problem. And so on.
Well, they got taken over by a Swiss drug multinational, who swore up and down that they didn't want to change the culture that was so innovative - the Swiss would just provide capital and market the new drugs.
Well, needless to say, within a couple of months, the Swiss company stopped the beer blasts. Can you imagine the liability if someone gets in an accident diving home after a beer blasts? And just look at the cost of the beer blast - we're spending a couple of hundred thousand dollars every Friday, to pay people to stand around and drink beer.
So, the Swiss accountants were very pleased with themselves. The California company was a lot less innovative after that, for some reason.

This is completely fair, though. If that person had been complying with the vital lockdown order, he wouldn't have been on the beach and thus wouldn't have been eaten by the shark. The measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 would have prevented that death, so it is also fair to attribute that death to COVID-19. This is also true of more mundane situations like auto accidents.
On the other side, someone who dies of a heart attack for lack of medical care due to COVID-related lockdowns was directly harmed by the virus response and thus is also a COVID-related death.

I knew there had to be something related to the gas that made the dirt. The sticky build-up on the ceiling and walls wasn't because we didn't wash it down often enough. I was a lot younger and healthier then and would go after it every few months. I will not say how long I allow the ceiling to go before a wash down now. When I do get to it, the bucket really isn't that dirty and what comes off is mainly dust.

Two things at play, there.
Cast iron is rougher than most other cookware, so it can scratch the surface, and then other stresses can break it. Or it can break on its own if you set it down too hard, like using a safety hammer to break a car window.
There are at least two kinds of "glass" in those stoves. There's a sapphire-glass type, which is hard to break, and a cheaper one that's... not as hard to break. Cast iron may be safe on the better kind, but it's dicey on the cheapo ones.

Video from KTLA/5 (LA TV station) showing a cop just starting to beat up on a big guy who appears to be standing, compliant, waiting to be cuffed.
Now, the guy was big, and appears to have a Chargers jersey on, which are extenuating circumstances (clearly potentially dangerous, and very stupid, perp).
But, um, whoa. Can you say "daylight solo Rodney King video". I knew you could.

There are at least two kinds of "glass" in those stoves. There's a sapphire-glass type, which is hard to break, and a cheaper one that's... not as hard to break. Cast iron may be safe on the better kind, but it's dicey on the cheapo ones.
Posted by: mikeski at May 10, 2020 12:32 AM (P1f+c)
Might be something else at work, too. Thermal stress. Say your cast iron skillet is a little uneven on the bottom. Set the cold skillet on a hot glass "burner", and the parts that make good contact with the glass suck the heat right out, and chill it, and fraction of an inch away, the glass is still hot.
I would never own an electric range with a glass cooktop. Completely pointless.

Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at May 10, 2020 12:15 AM (sy5kK)
Polaroid made even bigger mistakes, even though winning an infringement suit against Kodak on the "instant" film processing technology.
Bits of photographic "jewelry" over the years, include (but not limited to Leica, West German "Kodak" Retina II and III series cameras, Hasselblad and both Canon and Nikon mechanical 35mm pro systems.
Inclusive in that list of "jewelry"?
The Polaroid SX-70.
If you were there, then, you'll remember.
It was the Porsche Carrera of consumer grade photography.
Made like a Swiss Watch and with the quality of Rolls Royce.
Innovative as all hell, and that, even now.
Here's an idea.
Take the SX-70 folding-body format.
Make a negative emulsion film for it, that does NOT "process" as it passes through the rollers, but rather, ejects in it's own "light safe" opaque covering. Probably no more than a four exposure pack, vs the original ten. Because, layers.
Now you're talking about your very own Medium Format film camera, that'll fold down and fit in a sport-coat inner pocket.
They wouldn't sell a million.
But they'd out-sell some of the high dollar medium format rangefinders that are on today's market.

We generally get along and since she is a widow, I know she's glad to have someone here for company, to cook with and help her clean...but it is also nice that she has a place up north she goes to at least once a month for a few days. She needs a break from me occasionally. I need a break from her occasionally.

I'm kind of envious of everyone getting haircuts. I needed one back in February...and stupidly put it off. They Der Fuhrer Wolf put the state in lockdown. Apparently, there is some color code associated with risk...and I'm in a Red county until June. The counties just regulated to Yellow status aren't allowed to even open hair salons. So, at the earliest, I could get a haircut sometime near the end of June or July after the Nuremberg Trials.
Or I could do what I just did. I just went online and bought a hair trimmer with 5 lovely clipper settings. It was either that or the weedwacker...which is probably more practical at this stage.

Jim, take that design, and replace the negative film with a full-size image capture device with the same pixel density as a high-end DSLR, but so much larger, and consequently with much higher resolution. You'd need some whacking big memory chips, but you would have images that could enlarged to huge size, and still be sharp.

Not sure of the year. The Swiss company stopped the beer busts when they came in, so it wasn't in response to a legal ruling.
I'm sure there was substantial potential liability, but the California company viewed that as part of R&D costs. You're dealing with scientific researchers here - they're not the kind of people to get sloppy drunk around their fellow colleagues.

So - not urgent. It's not like a foreigner outside the US with no claims or ties to the US and no conceivable standing who wants to come pursue fake asylum, whose plight causes a federal court to instantly usurp clear executive power - and/or violate statute exclusion of their very jurisdiction - to effectively seize control of our border. THAT obviously requires instant action by the court.
But seriously - have no idea - doesn't it depend on the exact nature of the federal courts' disagreement, if any? And wouldn't it have to get circuit review first?

The ONLY shortfall to us both?
SX-70 format doesn't permit a large enough front-standard for a decent interchangeable lens mount structure.
If they whipped that problem, they could own the Professional digital world.
Especially if they were smart enough to pay Hasselblad royalties so as to mount the Zeiss lenses with Compur shutters.
Which would require Hasselblad to be stupid enough to sell them those rights.

Some people who reported suspected violations of Gov. Jay Inslee's stay-at-home proclamations are receiving death threats and harassment after their names and contact information were released by the state and made public on social media by people who obtained the information.
Nine spreadsheets containing thousands of names, phone numbers and email addresses were posted on Facebook pages Wednesday.
On Thursday, hundreds of people listed on the documents received an email titled, "Lowlife scumbag whistleblower snitches," which singled out people who complained about businesses in the Sumner and Puyallup areas. "
"I was trying to be a good citizen and be helpful and save lives, and this is the thanks I get for it," she said. "I would never submit anything to the state again. I don't feel like my information was protected."

Yeah? Blow me, Karen.

My small county in Ohio went a slightly different way. Our county Health department said they need to concentrate their resources on reopening and don't have time for these frivolous complaints. Our sherif said they have to respond, what's going to happen is they'll tell people to stay safe, and tell Karen to calm down.

I get an unusually warm, comfy feeling from hearing about the snitches getting outed and threatened. It's glorious, actually.
Hoping it's widespread enough, and scary enough - without any actual injuries, but plenty of terror and whining - that it makes an impression on the half the country that could really help us all and themselves by emigrating, or, well, the other option.

This latest Democrat Propaganda Lie is one of their most desperate and ridiculous of my lifetime, because it won't fool anyone who isn't actively looking to be fooled.
I'm pretty objective so I mean this. Like, they get away with their war and health and economic and class bullshit because they fit it all into these easy to digest lies that either lack context, important information, or in some cases even a grain of truth.
But this latest bs is an absolute humdinger. And I think even low IQ people can't square it.
The Left are concurrently screaming two things at the top of their lungs:
1. The lockdown was *never* about saving lives, just keeping the hospital systems from becoming overwhelmed, so people are going to keep catching this thing and dying, especially if we open back up
and
2. The lockdown and the dead people are all Trump's fault
Just be objective - forget how much you hate the commie left - and digest it for a minute. *That* is really what they are selling right now. As loud as they can. I don't think they can hear themselves over the barrel that Trump has them over, because I honestly think they would change their story if they could.

Next time someone tells me to "stay safe" I'm going to respond "well I'd love to, but I have to drive on public roads, many of which are falling apart despite oceans of tax money, and avoid harm from the terrible unsafe drivers - so, whatever".
Ridiculous.

You have to wonder about the cluelessness of some people. I guess the Karens of the world think they are protected by their self-made halos when they're really just improperly placed 'Thrall' collars. (ST-TOS reference.)

2. The lockdown and the dead people are all Trump's fault
Inslee has already set the table to blame PST. In his " I have a plan" speech, he assured unemployed Washintonians that the state would not run out of Unemployment funds. Of course you will Jazee. Then you will ask the Feds and they potentially will say up yours Inslee, we warned you. Trumps fault.

Regardless of their native intelligence or credentialed educations, those who consume the MSM as a pipeline of "information", are merely bovine cud chewers.
I'm surprised actually, that they don't literally MOO as they're herded from one thought, panic or crisis, to another.
They're obstacles at best, and enemies on the hoof, otherwise.
Unless and until, that is, the Sheepdogs can herd those willing into the Red Pill Corral.

But seriously - have no idea - doesn't it depend on the exact nature of
the federal courts' disagreement, if any? And wouldn't it have to get
circuit review first?
---
The lawyers going after CA would go to the appropriate circuit, and KY may or may not attempt the same, but I think the issue becomes in fairly rapid order a third such case with a judge that can't rule based on precedent because of these two cases, and that getting the matter kicked up to the supremes, who have weirdly made a couple perfectly sensible 9-0 rulings in the last week or so.

McCain was always sludge but he outdid himself there at the end. I can't even talk about the other guy. I am lost for words.
Combine that with the "historic" nature and media power behind their opponent and the fact that both times the Dems ran again "Bush's (another shit's) third term", it's not difficult to see America was going to make a godawful decision either way.

Long way back on the thread, gas vs. induction: I've cooked on both for many years. Induction is good, but my DCS range on simmer would not ignite a piece of paper left ON THE BURNER for ten minutes. That was a personal test. Greatest, most adjustable range ever. And I didn't go longer because I figured it was never going to ignite.

People run on emotion, even the "apolitical" people who generally decide elections.
The Democrats have spent billions if not trillions studying how to manipulate humanity with their cheap circus brainwashing and cult techniques. It works as sure as rain is gonna fall.
I'm not making excuses for the average American but in a way I guess I am?
Look at the surveys about Global Warming and about Creation worldwide. You'll quickly see America is the ONLY country that still has a fighting fucking chance against the evil globalist Left. The only one. The rest of the countries have been swallowed whole by the virus and I don't mean COVID. They are dead.
People like to cite these "polls" to show how America is backwards and stoooopid. The truth is, despite our awful education indoctrination system, we're the only people left on Earth that haven't been completely fooled. We are *still* smarter than everybody else. That has to count for something.

I have cooked on electric my whole life, and it is not hard to cook that way.
I do have a propane stove for the back porch that I use for canning and summer cooking. I am still learning on that one, mostly I just boil water with it though I got adventurous and cooked some minute steaks with veggies fresh from the garden last Summer.
I do remember the time I was sorely frustrated trying to light a cigarette off of an infra-red burner. I admit it was safer than the time I was using the piezo-ignite camping stove, that was an eyebrow singer.
remember kids, smoking is bad for you when you don't use proper lighters!

The usual range of retarded "safety" measures will apply, though essentially moot with few or nobody there. I wonder if public policy in America will ever again have any relationship to actual science.

So, it dropped not the 30's tonight in Maryland, so I got inspired to pick up some gas station firewood to make fire at home. Boy, I'm glad I did. Forget how pleasant and lively it can make a home. I just wish I wasn't out of hot chocolate.

damn, that's a hell of a video. the citizen being assaulted at the very least looks to have grounds for a big lawsuit against the department for that one. Even if he was talking smack, what happened there ain't right.
It always amazes me that so many people still don't realize that there's always someone around with a camera. And then there's those idiots in Georgia, who filmed themselves committing a murder and then bragged about it. Do you realize that if they had just left the camera off, they might have gotten away with it? Not that they deserved to.

Thanks. I really get very pessimistic about everything. So many times I've thought, "THIS time the sheeple will finally see what has been going on." And not yet has one the dems' scandals broken into the mainstream. They only care about who is going to get kicked off the island or which Game of Thrones character will be naked this week or whether the Tiger King should have been convicted. I will try to be more hopeful that maybe they will wake up.

Without all the context and evidence on a situation, it's usually hard to make even a preliminary call.
On this one, I dunno, looks bad.
The guy being arrested is standing still and relaxed, hands behind his back. Cops both seem to be holding this arms (one each). He's starting to turn, slowly and slightly, seems as if to talk, right as the cop starts wailing on him. Guy then does nothing but shield himself - no fighting back, no aggression at all, he just crouches over and moves away a few steps.
100% defensive behavior, even under assault.
So - hard to see how this could be OK. (leaving aside the cop's lack of athletic skills and coordination - what a dork).
The infamous Rodney King video was fairly lengthy, and most of it was Rodney tossing around several officers like toys, as I recall, as he resisted. None of which justified any more than the minimum moves/blows to stop his resistance - and of course the blows went way beyond that.
BUT - most TV news showed only the portion of the video where the cops finally got the upper hand. Kind of a classic of distortion - something bad happened, but it wasn't anything like what almost everyone (probably to this day) *thinks* happened.

A lot of people still have no idea Joe Biden is mentally incapacitated. It's not so much a lack of curiosity. It is completely hidden from them and they are just busy living their life. We wonder why the media/DNC keeps telling these ridiculous lies even when they are "proven" to be lying. It's because the lying works. No other reason. It also keeps us busy and on the defensive, which means less time to attack them.
It's sad but look at how people *on our side* blamed "the media" for the blowup over Trump's disinfectant comment. But why were we targeting the media about it? WHY? Every prominent Democrat politician, elected and otherwise, pretended that Trump told everybody *to drink bleach*. They all did it. They are not serious, and yet they are very seriously evil.
In any event, don't lose hope. There's an old book that talks about how stupid and evil the world is and explains the whole thing pretty well. And the good guys win in the end.

That video of cops beating up on the guy: there's no excuse for the cop. None. Aren't they supposed to be trained in conflict management and deescalation? The more this stuff gets posted the more I realize that BLM weren't making shit up. The way the media created out of whole cloth the Trayvon and Ferguson and the Professor on his Porch frenzies made me doubt the claims of BLM. I knew there were probably rogue cops, but not that many. Now I'm not going to be a trusting of the police as I was three months ago and I am reconsidering whether BLM deserves more credibility.

I listened to Dan Bongino's podcast on this and he laid out the case that they were going after Flynn when the Steel/Fusion GPS dossier turned up. It was when Flynn was an advisor to candidate Trump, if I am remembering correctly. That had to be prior to the election. The pretense of his meeting with the Russian ambassador was cooked up later, but they had Flynn in their sights in the summer before the election. I'm going to have to listen to that again though to be sure. I can't find a timeline to corroborate this.

Few days ago, I'd volunteered my services as to constructing the Make Gallows Great Again devices.
Pray then now, that some intrepid Moron or 'Ette, drags poor rainmodo to the festivities.
I would impress him into the role of removing the deceased from their noose, and laying them upon the cart.
That he should see and witness the dead faces of Comey, Paige, Strozk, Brennan and so many others as they're rolled off to their firey demise.
Obummer will never see the gallows, as no President should.
But Hillary has never been President, and never shall be.
I want her chalky face to be the last one rainboy ever sees, before the black hood is thrown over his worthless head.
Mercy? My heart will remain open to it, until my hand is stayed.
Betcha though, it won't be stayed.
Take odds?

At first, according to Bongino, it was in retribution for not supporting the SCOAFM's Iran Deal. They later cooked up the Logan Act and then finally settled on the Kislyak call. They are purely and unrestrainedly diabolical and anyone who supports them is likewise evil.

I want to see suffering too. They've brought this country to the brink of destruction. Maybe we will not escape annihilation. I want punishment for them and I want to see their families that have benefitted from their corruption - preening about thinking themselves our betters - humiliated and shunned, financially ruined with recourse to only the most difficult types of labor to sustain themselves. Let them collect garbage, service sewage facilities, clean the sidewalks in San Fran. Yeah. Retribution. And that still will not be enough because who will give back the time and treasure and reputations to Trump and Flynn and Manafort and Stone and Papadopoulis and Page and all the others I am not listing? They can never be made whole and the anguish of their families cannot be erased. So, suffering is a good, summative word for what I want to see transpire.

And I am not on board with the sentiment that a president cannot be executed for treasonous or seditious acts. A banana republic is one where certain people are exempt from the just punishment due him as a consequence of his actions after having been convicted following adjudicated by a fair and impartial judicial process. If that son of a bitch did what we all think he did, he needs to pay with his life and his family live in squalor and disgrace. This is MY country. And YOURS. Not his to do with as he pleases.
What was he conspiring to do to PDT and everyone in his sphere? They want what Kathy Griffin mimed. They want to see Melania defiled. His children executed. That's what they would have visited on them if they could. How is having the one who would preside over such atrocities to be dealt with?

I agree. I don't think this country has the collective will to exact the ultimate punishment if treason or sedition could be proven. I think the best we could hope for is imprisonment and financial restitution to those harmed. That includes the US Treasury that paid out in excess of $35 million.

That store has ticked me off about this whole situation. I have to go there to get some of the things we resell at my place of work, so I can't just avoid it.
They insist on customers using a cart whether you need one or not--the whole distancing thing. Because, what? I'm too stupid to know how to do that without pushing a cart?

We all talk about (or agree with those who post thiings regarding) *rope* *lampost* *strong breeze* *swinging* *some assembly required* but we have to face facts. That should only happen if treason or sedition can be proven and it can't be carried out unless it's accepted as true by a significant majority of the populace. We know there are at least 20 percent of the population that approves fully of everything we think happened to undermine (and worse) Trump. It may be 30 percent who are totally down with the coup. There is no way almost all of the rest would fall on the side of exacting the ultimate price. So prison it will be. And as soon as a democrat is inaugurated as president, they will all be set free. That's why I want them bankrupted with fines and restitution.

So, I listened to a press conference by CO gov. Polis and noted that the tone of the "journalists" was absolutely. non-confrontational and deferential.
Typical question was along the lines of :
"Governor, we know you are doing a fabulous job protecting us from this deadly killer disease, but could you comment on the wonderful things you are doing to protect us from this deadly killer disease?"
Not a single question about the justification for his policies. Not a single question probing the state's data gathering and reporting strategies.
Just a ritualistic tongue bath.

Speaking of, shouldn't we be seeing a massive problem with grocery store workers catching the COVIDs and hundreds dying from it since there are more than a few elderly and obese grocery store employees in every store?
It's going to be so awkward when they're not catching it at about the same rate that full-on PPE hospital staff aren't catching it.

This from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.:
As of Saturday afternoon, the state has reported 634 cases of COVID-19 at long-term care facilities, with 169 deaths. Overall in Wisconsin, there have been 398 coronavirus-related deaths. That means long-term care centers account for about 42% of the state's deaths.
The state reached a testing milestone Thursday, surpassing 100,000 since the pandemic began.
And Thursday's percent of new tests that were positive was 5.7%, the lowest since the state stopped including repeated tests of patients in its daily totals on March 29.
In Milwaukee County, however, the percent of new tests that returned positive continued to climb to 35%, well above the goal of 10% or less.
The county also neared 20,000 total tests Thursday.
Eighty-four new cases and no new deaths were reported in Milwaukee County's afternoon update, with the death toll of 203 reported Thursday morning holding steady.
In total, Milwaukee County reported 3,685 confirmed cases, including more than 2,700 in the city of Milwaukee.

Repeat after me, because I'm tired of explaining this to Obama supporters. Pretty soon the response is just going to be a throat punch.
LTG Flynn was not charged with perjury. He was charged with "lying to the FBI". But the investigation was not legally predicated. That is, there was no materiality in the law as its basis. They asked leading questions which were a setup, a perjury trap, if you will. Answering "incorrectly" can be misconstrued as a basis for "lying".
The "rule of law" is at risk when a president subverts the law and uses governmental agencies to conduct a political operation in order to undermine a presidential candidate, and then president-elect.
If anyone undermined the law, and in the process the people's faith in our law enforcement and justice systems it was Obama. This shit circus happened under his administration. It increasingly looks like he directed it. If so, that is one of the most egregious scandals and subversions of law in the history of our country.
Congratulations Obama. You finally have your "legacy", asshole.

Congratulations Obama. You finally have your "legacy", asshole.
