Monday Overnight Open Thread (12/2/24) - Doof

doof-sunset1.jpg


Howdy Hordelings, and welcome to this week’s Monday ONT. Step inside and see what is on the docket tonight.

****


Hunter Gets His Pardon
Yesterday’s ONT was overshadowed by the non-surprise news of Hunter Biden receiving a full pardon for any crimes he may have committed over the last decade. Somehow there was also a good bit of discussion about anal creases. Hey, if that’s the kind of stuff you all want on the ONT, I shall not deny you
I flipped a coin to determine which of those would get additional coverage here tonight. Probably best for all of us that the Hunter pardon won out.

The Joy Of Gift Giving


Black Friday shopping has changed quite a bit over the recent years. The rapid shift to online shopping has resulted in a near extinction of early morning campouts at malls and big box stores to save money on door-busters and have a chance to land each year’s hard-to-get toys and games. The move away from in-person shopping also has lessened the well-publicized fits and fights.
Readers remember Black Friday fights, limo rides, early morning mimosas
Cynthia Monroe Miller hasn’t been back to Black Friday since the time she saw two women fighting over a pair of boots at a shoe store.
“Well you can imagine the scene,” she wrote. “It sickened me to see that people thought this was what the season was all about.”
Not all the memories were of discount wrestling. Himy Susie missed seeing people camping out for Black Friday deals. “Lost joy,” Susie said.
The riotous reaction to Cabbage Patch Kids in the 1980s prompted several memories. Amy Apperson Gamble remembered going with her sister to buy one for her niece.
Paul M. Wilson said “watching people assault each other” over the dolls was “true reality TV.”

****

Some traditions will hopefully never fade away. Such as the annual run of the Santa Train through Appalachian mountain towns.
Annual Santa Train Makes Special Stop to Deliver Joy to Hurricane Survivors

The 82nd annual run of the Santa Train through Appalachian mountain towns kicked off this year with a special stop to bring holiday cheer to a community ravaged by Hurricane Helene in the Eastern United States.
Santa Claus kicked off the celebration in Erwin, Tennessee, giving out gift bags, chicken dinners, and a close-up view of the heritage 1902 Clinchfield steam locomotive chosen this year to pull train cars full of presents, and decorated with festive lights, along the 110-mile whistlestop tour in late November.
One of the nation’s oldest and most cherished holiday traditions, the CSX Santa Train distributed more than 15 tons of gifts to families along the route, making this year’s event another huge success.
Spreading holiday cheer across Kentucky, Southwest Virginia, and Tennessee, thousands of families lined the route as the train brought an abundance of toys, backpacks, winter clothes, and holiday joy to Appalachian communities that have gathered to share in the holiday spirit.
It’s a Christmas tradition that started in 1943.

****

Lefty Lunatics Leaving X
By now you’ve probably heard that super important folks like Rob Reiner, Alyssa Milano, Richard Gere, Don Lemon, and many others have decided they can’t handle the uncensored world of X now that Elon Musk has turned the place into a true bastion of free speech. Which of course makes it a “Right Wing” platform. To them and their ilk, being challenged on their regurgitated talking points is just too much to handle. So they are leaving X in droves.

****

However, they can’t just stop spouting their leftist bilge in feeble attempts to gain attention, so they are moving over to “safe” platforms such as Instagram’s Threads or the new lefty favorite BlueSky.

Good riddance to them all. Elon is the gift that keeps giving!

38 Dali was a strange cat.

Orwell wrote a famous review of Dali and Dali’s biography. Libel laws being what they were perhaps, I think Orwell knew something about Dali that couldn’t be publicly revealed maybe?

Anyway, he used Dali as an example of a fatal flaw in Western society. Namely, if someone is talented, almost any other defect in character will be tolerated if not even celebrated. Mike Jackson in recent years would be a classic example among so many to choose. Known kiddie fucker. Free pass, because he can sing?

Orwell sort of intimated they oughtta be looking under Dali’s crawlspace. No sane society should let lunatics and crazy people move into it.

Was Michael Jackson actually a pedo, or just a really weird guy who didn't understand appropriate boundaries between an adult man and kids. I've never been sure if he was guilty, or was just taken to the cleaners by greedy parents who saw an opportunity to extort him by accusing him of molesting their children.

Well, now I know. It had dropped down to 29.8F here by 7:30, but at 8:30 the wind picked up a bit, stirred it up, and it warmed up to 39.2. It's peaked and is cooling back down a bit.

It was a small patch of clouds right over this area moved in. Just a small patch right over here (this is thanks to my cousin, who knows what and where to look for).

188 136, there has to be more to this story. I’m interested in learning about it. I know they claim people are drinking less after Covid but I don’t really buy that one. They don’t flat out say that people stop buying stolen because of the war in Ukraine, but that has to be at least a small part of it. I think changing the name from Stolichnaya to Stoli was a bad idea. I didn’t even know they did that. Stolichnaya has been made in Lithuania for many years, not Russia. And I actually really like that vodka. It is very different than the average one and it does have a flavor. There is a Russian style that exist a little bit hotter..

Most booze companies do well even though crap companies like Diageo. I’d be interested in learning more about what happened to Stoli. From the article, they didn’t seem to diversify much most of those booze companies are big-time diversified among the brands and styles.

269 Quint. No quarrel on the Elija Craig. It most certainly IS a good bourbon. I'll have to buy a wee bit now, and re-acquaint myself with it's flavor profile, though.

There could be an "X-Y" graph for Bourbons, and I would put Jim Beam at the center. NOT because it's the "best" (it's not), but because it's the most common, KNOWN reference for the flavor we call "Bourbon".

Everything else is a subjective measure of "from" Jim Beam.

Might have to bottle and sell some Crossbow Bourbon to sell against Longbow Bourbon? Some Ginger to sell against Mary Ann? 9mm Bourbon vs. .45?

293 Mesquite? Scotch? Posted by: Cicero

I know. It sounds like an abomination. But it ain't.

The backstory here is the distiller learned his craft in Scotch distilleries and because he needed better dental work than he cold get there, he move to New Mexico. That did not go as he planned. Strapped for cash he set up a distillery and soon discovered there are exactly zero peat bogs in New Mexico, hence the mesquite. The result is a Colkegan Mesquite Smoked Single Malt Whiskey.

"Like its Scottish single malt cousins, Santa Fe Spirits’ Colkegan Single Malt Whiskey is made entirely from malted barley, carefully distilled, and aged and finished in various oak casks to enhance the complex flavors inherent to true single malt whiskey. But there are key differences that set this remarkable spirit apart from its Scottish relatives."

It's like a rhythm. Chevy's have a certain rhythm to them, so do Fords but it's a different rhythm. Another way history of the chevy old to new isn't the same but it rhymes. Same with ford.

One day turning a corner in my Sub I déjà vued a '57 Chevy I used to drive. The column, the feel of the wheel, the sound was exactly the same.

346 Just hit me... Congress gets to write laws which DO define the Constitution...

There is a difference between a Pardon, for crimes already in the process of being adjudicated... and Immunity from all crime during a specific period.

I can see Biden's Pardon power being used to exonerate Hunter for the Gun and Tax stuff... but he went further into a blanket 10 year immunity, a power I don't think the Constitution gives him.
Posted by: Romeo13

How does a pardon work for a conviction that is not yet a conviction, let alone for crimes yet "undiscovered"? I think this falls into the category of "fuck you." Hence Trump being elected president with a mandate to go all General Sherman on the status quo.

I saw, on the ABC Evening News, the clip of Biden assuring an unimportant talking head that he would not pardon his son. He answered in single words, in a voice that was clearly that of a dottering old man. Now that he's issued the pardon, he looks like he's almost lost all powers of recognition, except that he has to save his son. I understand this.

But I've read other things, a bit towards the fringe, like: "He's Obama's 3rd Term", "The holdovers from the Obama Administration mistreated him", "Kammie was supposed to be Obama's 4th Term", and then today, here, "George Clooney "Fuming" That Barack Obama "Manipulated" Him ...".

It would not surprise me to learn, officially, in 2074, that all of this, and more, is true. That Biden really did force the nomination anointment of Kammie, to screw the D's, and then pardon his son because he wasn't going to sacrifice him like Clooney.

Maybe Biden redeemed himself at the end. We shall see.

From the Urban Dictionary

Rawdogging
While it's originally used to describe having sex without protection, it can be used as slang for doing anything TO something, without something else that that something would require, such as some form of preparation, protection, or anything to make it go smoother that one would consider almost essential, typically out of callousness.

James Clavell's novels, though not thoroughly Chop Saki, give a fair approximation of a Michener Novel, insofar as a deep opening chapters dive, into the Genesis I level history of a place and it's peoples.

Soaking up those bowlderized "histories" in novel form, can be the fastest means by which to gain a conversational familiarity with the same.

'Cause you ain't reading Churchill's volumes in five sittings, and he didn't write much about the Pacific Theater, anyway.

425 "Abridged" LOL.

My parents were strict with us kids. Almost too strict. (?)

If I wanted to look up something in the dictionary, no problem.. there were several in the house.

But if I went to the *unabridged* one-- Oh, look out! They'd be all over it "what are you looking up? what do you need to know? why do you want THAT dictionary?"

Yeah, had to SNEAK peeks at that one, just in case what I was looking up was a Forbidden Subject. And I wasn't always certain whether various things were... forbidden. Didn't want to get lectured if it wasn't necessary!

I do not understand any of those words, in any order.

Insurrection much there, Gavin?

I can only hope that there is a great photo-op perp walk of some mayor/governor/elected official because they defied ICE. In the past, these sanctuary areas wouldn't even allow ICE to take criminals coming out of jail or court. Now all illegals are fair game. But I want a perp walk of some gub-mint official standing up to Trump and being a part of the resistance. As if they even know what a true resistance to government tyranny is, the actual risks to life and limb involved. But I hope they try. And I hope Tom Homan properly responds.

441 Ohio woman who ate a CAT in viral video learns her fate

https://mol.im/a/14151249

No mention if the cat was someone's pet or a stray.
I know people that will swerve and try and run over a cat on the road. I wonder if this judge would be just as strict then? We have lost 4 cats to cars in 30 years and no one ever came to our door and apologized for the incident.

Just got out of the shower. I need to get a second humidifier (just bring one down from my mother's house). Hot steaming shower and it didn't even fog up the mirror or the windows. RH was about 38% with the little humidifier going. It's now up to 41% with the HVAC circulating the moist bathroom air.

It's just 28F outside, thanks to that little cloud cover that rolled over earlier. It was amazing, wind picked up and the temp rose 9 degrees in 45 minutes. It was freezing by 7AM, and was 30F by 7:30. Then, at 8AM that cloud event happened, and it was 39 by 9:30 or so.

Now, it's been slowly cooling back down. Cloud cover is gone now, so it will cooling fast again, but that held off the hard freeze zone for a while.

445 People (yeah, right) what would swerve *in order to hit* an animal, are EVIL. Straight up evil.

I hit a cat once. Pretty sure it was an instant kill. Felt like sh!t about it, but it came flying out from the roadside, probably trying to catch a moth that my headlights had illuminated. Poor kitty, just trying to catch a toy/snack in the wee hours...

Was I supposed to go door-to-door at 3am, to apologize to the owner?

I prayed for forgiveness, and for comfort for its owner. That's all I could do at the time. Would give anything to not have had it happen at all. It had a collar. It was somebody's baby.

I mentioned that since apparently no one seems to have come forward about missing a cat, or typical shoddy journalism, don't bother to find an owner for a follow up story.
JQ, three of mine were in the middle of the day or thereabouts. We eventually stopped having outside cats whenever possible and have one left, Mr Grey. If we can catch him when the vet is open then he's getting the unkindest cut of all and becomes an inside cat. I don't think he's young either and is probably Daddy to Brie's 6 babies who we love.

Posted by: Ciampino - tire iron for them at December 03, 2024 02:50 AM (i0xsb)

450 Ciampino-- I hope you're able to catch, neuter & tame Mr. Grey!

I have an outdoor cat right now and worry about him every night. We're not near any busy roads, so thankful for that. Cat was a 'barn cat' and doesn't recognize a litterbox... he only knows outside.

Thankful that we're on the outskirts of town. I know there are coyotes, but so far they've stayed on the other side of the river... lot of farmers with gubs to keep them "over there" you might say.

Bless you for what you're doing for all those kittehs!

451 The police have Internal Affairs. I want to see an independent investigative unit in each bureaucracy that will look into known possible malfeasances, as well as egregious overreaches, and indict those officials. The ones I'm looking forward to are the feebees, ceeaye-A, J6 Committee and acolytes (Capitol Cops, Congress people). A daydream is Nancy in cuffs and orange jumpsuit.
Also all those R Senators who get in the way, have them minutely investigated by IRS and Police (New FeeBees). Check the dates of their stock/bond transactions against new laws passed and if insider trading then publish a Wall Of Shame.

That's the supposed job of each agency's inspector general. But, it doesn't work, because the IG is as corrupt as they are.

I think I saw some reform proposal out of DOGE or somebody about making the IG offices utterly independent of their agencies.

Unfortunately, there's some wiggle room about the 5th Amendment negation. It negates it for federal crimes, but not state crimes, so he still has the 5th for that.

So anything that could possibly be a state crime as well as federal, well, he's got wiggle room.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at December 03, 2024 03:19 AM (w6EFb)

458 The pardon was always coming, I never had a doubt, I just never imagined a blanket 10-year stretch. I always assumed the crime(s) had to be named, even if vaguely.

I'm thinking that a Truth and Reconciliation Committee as they did in South Africa might not be bad for smaller fry who might be legion. The gig fish I want in court and then jail. Those whose crimes resulted in deaths (including suicide) need a quick hanging, otherwise next D admin will just release them.

Yes he has wiggle room in a State case when giving evidence but in a criminal trial it's the State that has to make the case so unless his defense puts him on the stand, there is no opportunity to plead the 5th.

Suppose Congress or the current executive (think Kash and Pam Bondi) start asking Hunter questions. He can still weasel with the 5th if anything they are asking about would incriminate him in a state case.

468 I dreamed I was walking toward a coffee shop when I spied a seal snuffling through dumped food below the walkway -- a crabeater or Weddell seal, I concluded at the time. It came up toward me, and apparently I had something on a fishing line (? going to a coffee shop after fishing???) that I tried to keep away from it.

The scene changed, and the seal was gone; but I was holding my late black cat Marie-Antoinette in my arms. Except Marie, unlike in life, had tan fur all along her underside. Somehow I was at home with her on my lap, and she let out a soft growl -- *completely* unlike her in life! And I woke up.

H'lo, JQ,

Yeah, I spent last Friday doing things like gassing up the car and visiting the free sculpture park in City Park with Linda. Most of the sculptures are pretty abstract and modern, and there are only two or three I actually like. One looks like the gigantic structures in the original Time Machine that exist above ground in the time of the Morlocks, except this one is battle-scarred. Peculiar stuff. Most are from the personal collection of a family who established and ran a local chain of drugstores, now gone, for several generations here.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 03, 2024 03:53 AM (omVj0)

471 JQ, oh, yes; I take Unisom and melatonin (which I refer to as my personal law firm). I manage to get between six and seven hours' sleep a night with the combo. Some vivid dreams are a small price to pay for enough sleep, lemme tell ya.
