Morning Thread (8-24-2015)

Welcome back to another week of fun, frivolity and AYFKM? reactions to Hillary's evolving email stories, the GOP presidential clown car and other topics. I can hardly wait.

And don't pay attention to those stock market futures this morning, BTW. Hooboy!

5 I hate when I start a week pre-pissed-off, but Amazon has assured this. Have you ever had a package from Amazon delivered at strange hours by some sketchy random person? Apparently, Amazon is doing this to save on shipping. Mostly you'd never notice, as the box would just end up in your mailbox or at your door. Unless, like me, you live in a locked building with no place to just drop stuff off (UPS/FedEx know what to do, so we can still get stuff from them). I got a text message from Amazon late yesterday afternoon that a delivery attempt for my package failed, and I've got 3-4 more days of this to look forward to before I get a phone call from somebody who will tell me they're here with my package. Last time this happened, they were in front of the wrong place, I had to guide them here. Then finally a car drove by, a window opened, a hand came out with my package (no attempt at identity verification) and the car drove away. I'm not sure if this is punishment for using free shipping, or if I could get around it by paying, or what. I spend a lot at Amazon, but this is gonna get old real fast. There are still other places to shop.

Sounds like LazerShip, their sometimes used "Final Mile" delivery service.

Many complaints about them on the Prime site.
And most of the complaints sound exactly like yours.

Here, LazerShip is outstanding.
Polite, on time, with never a complaint.

I don't know where you live but around here UPS and Fed Ex have been hiring non stop for the last couple of years, largely driven by Amazon. It may well be that even with that, they are not able to keep up with the demand in your town. Or if you live in one of those densely packed socialist paradise places, they might have made it too difficult for the UPS or Fed Ex to expand any faster because of state or local laws.

45 Listened to the podcast and have decided that Gabe lives in a bubble. Some of his greatest arguments from recent podcasts:
1. SCOTUS won't allow polygamy because it isn't popular like homosexual marriage.
2. We should shutdown the government over PP funding because it would be popular. (I agree with ending the servants of Moloch's funding. But shutting down the government would be as popular as shutting it down over O-care)
3. Birthright citizenship isn't a problem because....the law! And Anchor Baby is offensive. Obviously, he lives in a world that doesn't recognize the reality of the situation and missed the annual "We're deporting valedictorians!!!" news reports.

Lastly, NRO has gone full TDS. KDW was strongly implying that Trump supporters are Nazi's. Best statement from him that showed him to be completely clueless, to paraphrase "no one cares about the thousands of illegal Irish." If it was just thousands of illegal Mexicans, no one would care about them either.

46 UPS, USPS, and FedEx are who I see on a regular basis, courtesy of Prime.

No complaints on my end.

They delivered my first tablet/laptop convertible I found on Amazon when I was in the sandbox in 2006 in five days (utilizing DHL) after shipping same day I ordered.

The post office wishes they could provide that kind of service that quickly.

47 Read an article in the paper yesterday about why Trump is leading in the Polls. Seems there is this clown calling itself "Deez Nuts" running a joke campaign and it is actually getting results from some National Polls.

This person was arguing that since there is a joke candidate running that is not eligible and he getting actual votes in the polls that must mean that any results for Trump are meaningless.

They are reaching.

This person is one of those folks who thinks that the world will fall apart if they're not in charge and I think people have either caved or left.

54 Back in about 1993 or 1994 I was taking an economics class; the instructor was explaining the Clinton/Russia connection and how this connection began when they were both in college and their purpose is a long-term plan to create a socialist Russian United States.

Of course most everyone dismissed and dismisses that information as completely far-fetched and conspiracy-theory garbage. Here we are, 20 odd years later and that smoking gun is not only still smoldering, but in my opinion, getting hotter.

71 Re: the stock market

Obviously, the China melt-down is going to do real harm to the stock market. Still, it's worth bearing in mind that historically, August trading is not a reliable indicator because there isn't a lot of it, and September is usually the worst month of the year for Wall St. Of course, that could mean we have a crash, but it could also mean things will recover later in the fall.

99 So, something good happened this weekend. My family and I went to protest at the local Planned un-Parenthood abortion mill. As we were singing a hymn, a young black girl came out w/her PP "escort". The crowd parted to let her through. She walked right past me, and she was shaking. She walked across the street, and just sat there, clearly conflicted. My wife asked if she needed a ride, and she politely declined. The "escort" sent glare daggers our way. Anyway, we later learned she went back in, and then came right back out again.
She was given information about Thrive and other support services by protesters, and was smiling w/relief.

Yep.

Actually, restaurants often discuss just this kind of scenario with their serving staff. Every so often, someone in DC gets the bright idea that service staff should be paid the same minimum as everyone else. Restaurant management will usually then have a quick meeting with wait staff just warning them "Hey, if this *does* happen, don't expect tips anymore..."

That said... with very few exceptions, I don't go to sit-down restaurants anymore anyway. If I'm going to a sit-down restaurant, then I'm probably going to a high-end place where I would expect more professionalism than your average Chili's server.

If the only thing Trump's candidacy accomplishes is the replacement of the Conservative Chattering Class with new voices, he will have done us all an enormous favor. They have become the entitled, fatcat status-quo Boners and Bitch McConnells of the Internet.

Good riddance to bad rubbish, say I.

156 Over at polysex advocacy site The Federalist, their morning TDS:

It's hilarious, the GOP-E insists that Trump is unelectable and can't win the election, yet they spend every day attacking him like he's a mortal threat to the party.

Meanwhile, Jeb... with $114M in the bank and the best consultants money can buy sends out a mailer with his face badly photoshopped on a black man's body.

Top. Men.

159 Did McConnell/Boehner go to the wall to stop Executive Amnesty? No.
Did McConnell/Boehner go to the wall to stop Obamacare? No. Did McConnell/Boehner go to the wall to stop the EPA? No.
Did McConnell/Boehner go to the wall to let bankers gamble on derivatives with taxpayer money? Hells, yeah!

Are they lifting a finger to stop Common Core? Nope. Tech companies will be selling tablets and software like crazy, publishers will be "forced" to publish all new textbooks, which BTW is UUUGE business. Also, they will be getting BIG DATA on the next generation of consumers. It's really sick.

I admit to not having paid much attention to Jeb! lately, as he seems to be stomping on his own Male Reproductive Unit very well without outside kibitzing. Did he really do the photoshop thing himself? Sounds like something one of his high-class opponents would do.

Well, Shrillery has tacked a black woman's voice to herself a time or two, so nothing's impossible.

167 From my youthful days in the restaurant biz, the worst tip you can leave wait staff is two pennies. You are giving them 'your two cents worth'.

If it's been more than a dozen years. I doubt any of them would know what that means.

Posted by: rickb223 at August 24, 2015 08:34 AM (Jcvz2)

168 Would you leave a tip for a waiter or waitress that makes $15 an hour?

The places that do that usually have "no tipping is expected" policies.

On the handful of times I've had to go DefCon 1 over bad service, I take the check to the register to pay, then ask to see the manager and explain why I'm not leaving a tip.

174 My first exposure to Donald Trump was when he was trying to get Atlantic City to use eminent domain on some grandma's house so he could expand his casino parking lot to accommodate stretch limos or something. Too bad he was too early for Kelo v. New London.

175 Fenelon--sorry to hear of your troubles. A little yeast works its way through all the dough, doesn't it?

Yesterday at church for me was surreal. We have a new pastor, and he was giving the last in a series of sermons on the future of the church. I've been expecting him to say something about SSM, and yesterday was the time for him to do it, if he was going to bring it up. I'm dreading the day I have to resign my membership, and went in yesterday morning expecting that day had come (never gone to church with a sense of dread before). My least favorite hymn in the known universe was in the program ("Many Gifts, One Spirit" about accepting change in the church), so I was pretty sure it was SSM-Day. Anyway, he singled out marriage during the sermon---and here we go, thought I---then didn't mention SSM. Sermon ended. I stumbled out to the car and just collapsed like a deflated balloon, actually had to sit there a couple of minutes before I was able to drive. Don't know what my blood pressure was, but it would've broken the gauge. Maybe I should just stay home and read the Bible for an hour or two on Sundays.

176 The NYT says the PP videos "accuse" the organization of selling baby parts. No, the videos show employees of PP and StemExpress DISCUSSING those transactions.

Nobody is "accused" of anything, NYT.

The scumbags at the NYT can't tell the difference between editorial writing and news reporting.
