Irish Goodbye: Chris "Thrill Up My Leg" Matthews "Retires" Live On Air, Surprising MSNBC
He just announced his retirement and then just walked off the show, citing #MeToo style allegations about his behavior as prompting the sudden retirement.

Doesn't sound like anybody at MSNBC knew Matthews was going to do this. Kornacki is visibly rattled. I should probably pretend I'm not enjoying this, right?
— It's still 2016 apparently (@jtLOL) March 3, 2020
Five women were planning to come forward.

Matthews was a serial sexual harasser.
He also told one black woman, “In another time I’d have owned you.” https://t.co/sFSxoZ6lYc
And here's the shot when the commercial break ended and the camera cut to a stunned Steve Kornacki, who was obviously not prepared for Chris Matthews' announcement, nor to fill in the hour of airtime when #Hardball would usually run. pic.twitter.com/idqhwvi3rl

Announce your retirement in the beginning of your show and not even finish the rest of the hour.
— Siraj Hashmi 🐶 (@SirajAHashmi) March 3, 2020
Chris Matthews is a legend for this. https://t.co/DzRnj2caav
Instead of wasting your time watching the full Chris Matthews "retiring" from Hardball speech... I narrowed it down to the 14 second #MeToo part for you. pic.twitter.com/NSQzMypJFl

As you may have heard there was a surreal moment earlier this hour on MSNBC. Chris Mathews abruptly retired, they cut to commercial, and it was left to a shaken Steve Kornacki to finish the hour. Here's one of the first articles about it.

Chris Matthews started off ok at the beginning of his career. He was a Dem but seemed reasonable.
And then each year he got crazier.
Agreed. He's still, IMHO, the best of the MSNBC/CNN bunch. It's like choosing the best fecal pile, though.

If Sanders somehow manages to thwart the almost inevitable Establishment blockade of his nomination, more heads than the one on this drunken ol' gasbag are going to roll. They sacrificed an elderly white male fixture to send a clear message to the rest of the talent: don't go too far in the event we have to fall in line for Sanders.

HAHAHAHAHA. Grifting Eastern Europeans with US taxpayer dollars as lubricant and continuing the sellout of American industry to the Chinese for a family payoff. Such great foreign policy experience.
You know what? I would rather roll the dice on someone with *no* experience but who loves his country, versus putting foreign policy into the hands of a known corrupt and sloppy grifter.
Not kidding. I'd rather have someone sharp who loves this country but who has never stepped foot on foreign soil than this guy.

They're endorsing whoever his running mate is. Biden likely won't survive the campaign. If he does, he likely won't win but his running mate might get a boost. If he somehow both survives *and* wins, it would be a long-odds position to assert that he'll live out his first hundred days.

One thing which was missing was NPR. I listened to it for first time in 25 years a few days ago, and a couple times since. They spent about 5 minutes on one show talking about how "trump called the virus a hoax" and what kind of idiot would think a virus that is killing thousands could be a hoax, and how trump hates science and etc. etc.
The show was a full hour of anti-trump bashing disguised as coverage of the Wuhan cough.
We have reached third tier of propaganda. First tier is people who say things they know are false, but they say it to hurt opponents. Second tier is people saying things they are unsure of because they hear two sides, but they know their side is good, and other side is evil, so they keep telling us that. They don't have doubts, but they know it is more complicated than what they say.
Third tier is people who really believe the other side is evil because that is all they ever heard. They only know the propaganda as history, and so they are the true believers. Usually this takes 3 generations to achieve but the left has done it in three years with Trump.
I also listened a few nights ago and heard the bernie speech 3 times! in about 2 hours. They even cut away from Trump presser after 5 minutes to continue bernie coverage. The bernie speech is amazing though. It is him making inane statements like reading instructions for building an Ikea shelf. "We will have administration which is not corrput" (pause for NPC whooping) "We will have administration that believes in science" (pause for NPC whooping) "we will have administration that does not destroy constitution"......
His speech is striking for having no wit, no insight, no intelligence, no passion, no anything but rote statements of little or no connection to reality. He really is a marxist snake oil salesman. (he is tier 1 of above, I think but he the NPC are all tier 3)

BLM idiots beat drums and banged on the front door of LA County DA Jackie Lacey's home at 5:30am... and were confronted by a gun when the door opened.
https://tinyurl.com/t37p5g9
Lacey's up for reelection tomorrow, and her chief opponent is a guy by the name of George Gascon. Gascon was previously serving as San Mateo's (San Francisco) interim DA (after the previous one - Kamela Harris, iirc - left for another office). He was so bad at his job that both the mayor and police chief of San Francisco have openly endorsed Lacey.
Even though Lacey's both a Democrat and the incumbent, the California Democratic Party has endorsed Gascon, as have a number of other hard left groups. He's also apparently backed by Soros funds.
Unfortunately, since brandishing a gun (without firing at someone) is illegal in California, there's a chance that Lacey's husband will face charges for the incident.

I think he started pushing the hard left BS out of a way to keep his job and not be penalized for his woman-groping ways. And he drank to push back the misery of being a hypocritical whore. Eventually you just can't take that any longer.

"When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control."--Theodore Dalrymple
This is why Matthews and the whole Party keeps spiraling downward, and are now poised to nominate a Commie or a senile Grifter. They have become anesthetized to both kinds of corruption.

immigrants in the mid 1800s owned little more than an old pair of pants.
And many Irish before them were indentured so WERE owned.
My English ancestors were mostly Tories, I think, so were at least
not up for the whole starvation thing. Though we might've sent some
Paddies to Barbados and Virginia.
The idea that Irish people were enslaved in any way in the Americas is hotly disputed by many professional historians. I never heard of this subject until last year and have no axe to grind or heritage to protect here. But the subject is hotly contested by historians, and most say it never happened.
Indentured servants in the Americas were not only Irish for sure. And slavery does not equal indentured servitude. It was someone paying off a debt, mainly the cost of another bringing them to the New World.

Pookette and I were the Emergency Pants Brigade this morning because Pooky's pants failed catastrophically at a, erm, crucial area. Fortunately he works with all guys and had duct tape handy, but I can't imagine what that would have been like if he was in a corporate setting. Of course, in a corporate setting he wouldn't be covered in "sludge solvent," but that's a separate issue.

But I recall people spelling out the clear differences between slaves and indentured servants. The ownership was the key. No one owned an indentured servant and they sure as hell did not own his children. Hard life for sure, but just very different things.

Obama's no intellectual. He's of modest intellectual complement, at best. He was black, and didn't speak ebonics. That's the only reason for thinking he was an intellectual.

Super easy. Almond flour, a little coconut flour, some baking powder, melted mozz and a little cream cheese, and an egg. Put them in a food processor, and make into eight balls. I sprinkled them with garlic salt and a little parm.
They were actually great. And they can be made and frozen. The recipe came from Kroger, believe it or not.

Mine was with a unit who fought at Second Bull Run, Chancellorsville where the commander won a medal of honor (the unit had about 150 men, 6 cannon), was at Gettysburg and in action all three days, then went west and was with Sherman until Atlanta was captured. Some say it was this battery that put a cannon ball through Gen "Bishop" Polk. Was detached from Sherman after that and mustered out having done the tree years. A German Battery, almost all immigrants.

It was in Northern France, just over the channel around the time of the German offensive and breakout. The entire plane was telescoped into about 8 foot.
They found the pilot's jacket chain and gave it to his brother, just a few days before he himself died. The pilot had overflown his house the morning on the way out to his engagement.

The problem is it doesn't matter what you think. What matters is what she thinks. Most women are perfectly reasonable people and will take a complement in the spirit it's given. But it only takes one to end your career.
I worked with a woman who did almost nothing and was looking to retire on some kind of harassment lawsuit. Every time someone said something (to anyone, not just her) that could be bent to fit she ran to HR and filed a complaint. The company couldn't get rid of her, since that would be a reprisal. They finally just paid her to go away, but it took a long time, during which we were all accused of ostracizing her at the company's direction because nobody would talk to her.

First Minnesota lost 80 percent casualties in about 15 minutes at the end of the second day. The Union had deployed badly and were crushed by Longstreet's attack. Reserves were on the way, but Hancock needed those 15 minutes to plug a huge gap right where Pickett charged on day three.
He told the regiment to charge a brigade of Rebels - Cadmus Willcox's Brigade - and take their flags. They outnumbered the 1st Minn 5 to 1 or so.
They tried. They didn't get the flags, but it took enough time to defeat them to stop the attack. Every one of those men a great hero.

I worked with a woman who did almost nothing and was looking to retire on some kind of harassment lawsuit. Every time someone said something (to anyone, not just her) that could be bent to fit she ran to HR and filed a complaint. The company couldn't get rid of her, since that would be a reprisal. They finally just paid her to go away, but it took a long time, during which we were all accused of ostracizing her at the company's direction because nobody would talk to her.

This.
One woman squawked to HR because one guy, joked somehow (I don't know what he said) with a female coworker who was expecting. The female coworker laughed and they were kidding back and forth.
The harpy - eavesdropping - took second-order offense (kinda like secondhand smoke), and ratted the pair out to HR.
Fortunately, wiser heads - by which I mean NOT HR - prevailed.

I didn't know who Stockdale was back then, had a partner who was ex-military and he clued me in.
I remember watching Stockdale, with this knowledge, thinking that he was past his primetime. Still, he was mentally there, unlike Slow Joe who is not, and proving it every day.
It was the press that crucified him for anything he did, like SNL. The mainstream news of the day never gave him an honest shot, either. Not surprising, of course.

What I like about history (and I suppose some do with travel) is that the past was different, but so much of what makes people people doesn't change. You can put yourself in the shoes of a Civil War man or woman, or even a Roman and feel much of what they felt. Yes there are facts and dates, but it is a story about people like us and how they handled their everyday life and their crises and battles as well.
That's why I despise current SJW theory - it is so reductive and simplistic, like cardboard cutouts of the real thing.

Doing a bill holden is a punch line here at casa blue sun.
There's a scene in I think its Lost Highway where the man trips and falls, impaling his forehead on the corner of a glass-topped coffee table.
It was such a ludicrous, ridiculously overwrought, pretentious film that by the time that happened my brother busted out laughing in the theater at how absurd it was.

Bernie.
I dont get it though, he is their socialist/commie/ gulag wet dream,
and certainly has as much a chance of beating trump than sleepy joe.

The rest of the dims prefer their communism be underground. Bernie is out of the closet and proud. They also had plans to implement this garbage over a much longer time line so Americans wouldn't notice. If Bernie gets the nomination, it would be like yelling "CHARGE" before your troops are in position.

Find someone who can put together a proper resume for you. A proper resume is not one that highlights what you can do, but one that highlights all the keywords that appear in the job for which you are applying.
There will be a machine reading your resume, so don't worry that it might look silly. As long as the machine passes you on to the hiring manager, the hard part is over.
Then get in front of a hiring manager and sell yourself.

I guess I "saw right through" the Perot project, but I just do not get people mocking Stockdale. There was nothing "nutty" about him, and if you pay attention -- WHICH WE CANNOT -- to what he said in his TV appearances, instead of the comedy acts imitating them, he wasn't even "distracted."
He got his advanced degree after he'd recovered from his imprisonment, was a high-level instructor at the Academy for years, wrote several complex books on a difficult subject -- and basically did all the stuff in Hanoi that McCain wanted credit for doing. There was no chance of him being elected, of course, but I've thought of him all these years as one of the greatest men to ever be involved in presidential politics.
