Sorry, I'm flat-on-my-ass under the weather. I've had something since Monday.

Also, I don't know if you've noticed, but my posts have started getting edgier and meaner. That might be due to general crabbiness from being worn-down, or it might be psychological chill being worn down due to the constant outbursts of insanity from the Broke-Brain Club of progressives, CNN partisans, and liberal Republicans who claim to be Super-Dupe TruCons.

I'm just so tired of these lunatic jagoffs. If I have to hear the SuperCons push a leftwing position while claiming it to be the most important verse of the TruCon Reagan Bible (Rockefeller Republican Translation), I shall scream.

Here are some links:

Decrepit David Letterman's most analingual questioments (questions that are really How Awesome Are You? compliments) for Obama.

A feminist professor of having a vagina thinks men should take a dangerous, illegal drug in order to breastfeed.

Rick Wilson probably is going to tell us that's the Heart of Being a TruCon Man.

Google may pay a hefty price in this Damore lawsuit -- they might not lose the case, but they'll lose a lot of conservative business when the suit starts making public their lunatic leftwing bias.

Tucker Carlson goofs hilariously on champion douchebag in full mid-life crisis mode Chris "Retard" Cuomo.

Oh, earlier this week this moron metrosexual told people they needed to "get woke" and oppose the border wall.

A Washington Post "reporter" was suspended for giving a secret talk to Democrats telling them how to shape their narrative. The Post isn't giving out many details, so that we could, for example, check to see if the National Laughingstock is itself following this journactivist's script for shaping narratives in a Democratic direction.

Corrected: I had first said she was with CNN. It was actually CNN reporting on the Washington Post's reporter. A friendly leak, I'm guessing.

The WSJ reports that Trump paid some porn star some hush-money for some kind of an encounter that happened in 2006, during the first year (or so) of his current marriage. Nothing nonconsensual is suggested. (The article makes a note of that.) But I guess there's some reason Trump wanted the porn star to be quiet.

That really upsets me because up to this point I thought he was a moral paragon. I'm going to have to reconsider everything now.

On Fox, someone just reported that a back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that, all told, all the bonuses, increased wages, donations and investments directly imputed to the tax reform bill tops three billion dollars.

Again, though: Dat porn star.

Trump shot down that ridiculous Gangbang of Six giveaway to the illegal aliens we call "Dreamers" for marketing purposes.

Dat porn star, though.

What will Steve Hayes tell his daughter now?

BTW, if you care, "Stormy Daniels" is herself denying any kind of sexual encounter, but then, she'd have to say that to stick to the payout.

I don't care either way. I neither know nor care about my doctors' sexual habits and sometimes I let them put their fingers in my butt.

If Trump wants to put his finger in my butt, maybe I'll have a few questions about his sexual history, but I think I'll just politely say "My butt is fine but thanks for asking."

Oh shit: Wait, is Monday a day off?

Wow, my mood just improved.

Posted by: Bear phone at January 12, 2018 06:26 PM (OkKDg)

39 Just to start a lighthearted flame war on a different topic:

Strunk & White says that "shall" is used to predict things, but "will" is used to signal intent. Thus "if I hold a press conference in Chicago, some thugs shall rob me" (prediction) but "If I have to hear Fredocons bleating one more time I will scream" (intention).

This means MacArthur got it wrong with "I shall return". He was making a promise, signaling intent, not saying "Eh, I'll probably be back."

But is the usage shifting from what Strunk & White declaims? Is "shall" just becoming an exotic variant of "will" that is used for emphasis?

Here's an old edition of Strunk & White and the exact will/shall quote from the book:

http://www.hjkeen.net/halqn/el_style.htm

A swimmer in distress cries, "I shall drown; no one will save me!" A suicide puts it the other way: "I will drown; no one shall save me!" In relaxed speech, however, the words shall and will are seldom used precisely; our ear guides us or fails to guide us, as the case may be, and we are quite likely to drown when we want to survive and survive when we want to drown.

58 The great difficulty, for me, is accepting what seems to be the fact that politics and the well-being of The Republic are very nearly unrelated.

It needn't be that way, but it is. A truly responsible media could steer things the right way, but they have become political animals themselves.

Tracing the thread back, the basis for the problem seems to be the schools, as that is where both media and politicians are socialized.

81 The McAuliffe story reminds me of a time in the Clinton Admin when it, out of no where, started popping off about how Bill had played rugby and was a physically tough character (as opposed to the band kissie photo from high school).

These lefties just have to create mythology about themselves. Some tell-all I read back in the day told about Clinton being physically confronted by the husband of a woman Clinton had hit on (before he was Pres or even Governor, I think). Clinton just quivered and wet his pants. Just like the band kissie he is.

Do you have the bug that causes you to to cough up a bucket of mucus a day? The one the extra strength Mucinex doesn't even put a dent in? If so, go get an antibiotic. The doctor will tell you it doesn't do any good but I insisted and lo and behold a day after I started taking it my coughing problem disappeared. I'm almost as good as new. The damn bug has been going around since Thanksgiving. My office is a canyon of coughs.

Regardless, you have a 3 day weekend so take it easy and feel better.

Posted by: Monk at January 12, 2018 06:32 PM (g4lFK)

Sinus infections usually don't go away on their own. I had a friend in high school who had chronic sinus infections. He'd never go in though, and I suspect the time he did he didn't take the full treatment for it.

I finally got one in my early thirties and the doctor gave me some samples of something that certainly cleared it up, but a side effect of it was that whenever I swallowed I felt like there was broken glass going down my throat. I stuck them out and it didn't come back, but it sucked all around.

188 85 Hey Ace,

Do you have the bug that causes you to to cough up a bucket of mucus a day? The one the extra strength Mucinex doesn't even put a dent in? If so, go get an antibiotic. The doctor will tell you it doesn't do any good but I insisted and lo and behold a day after I started taking it my coughing problem disappeared. I'm almost as good as new. The damn bug has been going around since Thanksgiving. My office is a canyon of coughs.

Regardless, you have a 3 day weekend so take it easy and feel better.

210 That really upsets me because up to this point I thought he was a moral paragon. I'm going to have to reconsider everything now.

I agree with the sentiment (the actual sentiment, I mean, not the joke sentiment). But. The reason this kind of stuff was always considered important is you can get some idea how a guy is gonna treat you by looking at how he treats other people. A man who can cheat on his not-at-all-unattractive wife in the first year of marriage is a man who can steer military contracts to his buddies or sign legislation into law because someone made a big donation to his daughter's foundation.

I think the good things his administration has accomplished have mostly been the result of people around him exerting influences. If those people change we could be looking at an entirely different president without having, you know, a different president.

My read is Steve Bannon never had as much influence as he claimed, but what if that's not true? He's got some pretty left leaning people in his inner circle.

And I worry about Congress changing hands. Trump thinks "I made a deal happen" is more important than the deal itself.

268 >>> Is "shall" just becoming an exotic variant of "will" that is used for emphasis?

I think so, yes. In the old days, I'm pretty sure "will" was the future tense of "want." As in, " I will it so" or "as you will (as you want)."

Shall was used for actual intent to do something. I think. Whereas will was used to express a desire to do something.

Now will has almost completely kicked shall out of the language.

286 not sure about that, though. I'll go check.

but seriously, last weekend I was on a wikipedia walk about all sorts of shit about basic English grammar and etymologies of words and "defective verbs" (it's worth the look up).

You know the word "forlorn"? Adjective, right? Well, not entirely. It HAD BEEN the past participle of a verb with a full conjugation -- "forlese," meaning to abandon, lose, or destroy. But forlese itself became archaic, and then completely forgotten.

However, the past participle of it, "forlorn," survived as an adjective.

307 Oh, check out the history of the past participle of "go," went.

Went was just the past tense of *wend.* As in wend around, meander.

Go had its own past participle (which escapes me right now), but people used "went" more and more as the past tense for having gone somewhere, and go's actual past tense dropped out of the language, and went became its official, has-almost-nothing-to-do-with-go past participle.

The verb wend then had to mutate to form a NEW part participle so as not to be confused with go's hijacking of "went." Wend's past participle became "wended."

If you look it up, it's fascinating -- go, in a whole bunch of languages (all the romance ones), is similarly made up of conjugations of OTHER synonyms for "go" which became obsolete and dropped out of the langauge.

First what may be a lie about the private meeting, followed by the ridiculous statement that he'd never heard such talk at a WH, and then the shark-jumping idiocy about "chain migration". If only the WH had surrogates, of any kind, anywhere on Capitol Hill.


And that brings up the broader topic, that the Dems now feel the need to ramp up their slander. The vile and stupid Blumenthal from CT has called Trump an odious racist.


Long past time for the WH and some GOP to attack this slander, and bury these cretins in scorn for *their* crude racism, which at this point has moved being on the 4 pillars of the collapsed/crazy Dem Part, to being the essential one.

458 440 So I saw an ad for an HIV drug. I think that's the first time I've ever seen that. So you know how drug ads have the list of side effects? Holy shit this list was basically every possible bad thing that can happen....rashes, headaches, liver problems, kidney problems, possible paralysis, if you have Hepatitis or are overweight it could kill you instantly and on and on. It was kind of funny, in a sad way.
Posted by: #neverskankles at January 12, 2018 07:20 PM (GMwtw)


Most side effects aren't real. They do a drug trial, someone writes down they had a headache that day, and it goes on the side effect list.

I think it's a play by drug makers to get the list to be so long for every drug you just ignore it. I think it works, too.

She's on the right, has some sort of social science degree and has spent lots of time on /pol/ which also unfortunately means she's close to certain paranoid and prejudicial edge. Still, listening to her 'sperg out on various topics is pretty fun. Also, from the one video she did with her face on camera? She's pretty freakin' cute.

Dunno about his early life, but Brad Pitt is death on smoking pot during shoots according to guys who've worked with him. One of those podcasts, maybe by Jay Mohr, had them all bitching about not being able to smoke around Brad.

That's not a bad idea if you won't be there long. The recruiter will take a little off the top, but he'll save you tons of work in landing the job.

718 Seinfeld is great but it kind of transcends the sitcom, it was so smart and had something to say.

Taxi was okay, but I could never really get into it. MASH does not hold up. Its a combination of really old jokes being rehashed by a guy you want to cave in the face of and leftist propaganda. Its awful.

735 I think Seinfeld is a candidate for greatest sitcom. I didn't watch the first few seasons, but I eventually got hooked. One of the things I liked is that there were always two or more parallel plots going on that would collide somehow at the end.

That's what takes me out of Seinfeld, TPB and even some of The Office (especially the UK edition)

I think Scrubs was the last sitcom that made me laugh uncontrollably.

I guess there's two ways you can take it:

1) There's nothing you could have done and the relationship was doomed from the start because she didn't know or wasn't honest with herself.

2) You were such a bad boyfriend she swore off men forever.

Personally I'm always gonna pick #1.

As extravagantly stupid as these slanderous idiotic comments are, still wish Trump his own self and surrogates would take the offensive against the race-baiters.

I'm glad for everyone involved that it's become so popular and they're all rolling in the dough, but I stopped watching after the first season. When it got popular it lost a lot of the genuine "nerd" feel and went to easy nerd joke stuff. Plus poop jokes. It was like they could tell they had a hit on their hands and had to change it to make it more like every other sitcom. Because that makes sense.

Something I didn't see mentioned is that whereas "Shall" shows intent, "Will" implies certainty. Thus, MacArthur's statement was entirely correct, and some Christians avoid the use of "Will" because only God can be certain that any particular thing will come to pass ("Thy will be done").

Rent Control.... Bitchez

Posted by: Democrats at January 12, 2018 09:26 PM (6dFYM)

944 Ten years ago here in Denver, you could rent a decent 1-bedroom apartment for, like, $600 a month. At that price, a full-time fast-food or retail employee could still afford his own apartment. Might not always be easy, but it could be done.

I don't see how that's possible anymore. Skyrocketing real estate prices have resulted in local rent costs more or less doubling since then.

What's the solution to this problem? I'm pretty sure there really isn't one, at least in the broad sense of something that'll help everyone at those lower income levels. No, the only thing that'll help is to try to improve your own personal circumstances.

Raising minimum wage to $15 an hour will not help. Other people have talked about how low-wage jobs just get automated away when that happens, so I won't go into that here. Another point against a greatly increased minimum wage is, prices on everything increase as a result. After all, labor is often the biggest expense for any business. Increase that, and the price for that business's products/services will necessarily increase.

Another factor that makes increasing minimum wage less than helpful is... let's say you're in a low-income job, but not a minimum-wage job. Let's say minimum wage is, like, $8 an hour in your area, and you're currently making $12 an hour. That's 50% above minimum wage. You're doin' all right.

All of a sudden, minimum wage in your area goes up to $15 an hour. Yeah, you're definitely getting an increase in your hourly wage, but... guess what? You're most likely getting a pay raise up to that new minimum wage. The absolute number of dollars you're making is higher, but you're now a minimum-wage employee, and everything you need gets more expensive as a result, and so you are now poorer as a result of that minimum wage hike increasing the absolute number of dollars in your wallet.
