The Ruthless Podcast is running its third annual Liberal Hack Bracket tournament, asking in each round, who is the most hackish?

Winners advance until a Champion of Hackery is crowned.

I would submit my own brackets, but, being a Victor Davis Hanson Distinguished Fellow (I think that's what it's called), I'm afraid my influence is so large that I would "bigfoot" the contest and invalidate the results.

After the moving "Prayers for Ukraine" rap from Prime Time 99 Alex Stein, this was literally the next guy to address the Plano city council.

The Plano City Council

It's where Stars are made.

28 I too am surprised by French being a 15 seed. Perhaps he' just overweighted in the websites I read, but I've never heard of the 2-seed. This is a 15 upsetting 2 if I've ever seen it.

However, I am conflicted by a number of these match-ups. Given the losers involved, how can I ever mentally conceived of them as a winner?

The United Arab Emirates-flagged vessel, the Al Salmy 6, sank off Iran's southern coast with 30 crew members aboard. Iranian rescue workers saved 16 of the crew and another 11 survivors got onto life rafts, Capt. Nizar Qaddoura of the Dubai-based Salem Al Makrani Cargo company said.

188 Brewing War With Mexico ...

The United States authorized the departure of families and some personnel Wednesday at the U.S. consulate in the Mexican border city of Nuevo Laredo. The move came after drug cartel gunmen fired at the U.S. consulate building in Nuevo Laredo, across the border from Laredo, Texas, during Sunday night. "The Department of State authorized the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel and eligible family members from the U.S. Consulate General in Nuevo Laredo due to security conditions," a department statement said.

I'm sure there are people on this blog who have far more experience with this than I do, but as a youth I moved from Texas to Illinois due to my dad's job, lived there for 3 years, and then moved back. When I arrived in Illinois, it was clear to the 7th grade teachers (they actually circulated a memo about me that I found) that I already knew everything they were teaching. God bless Mrs. Petrowsky in math, who gave me extra work to do. (In 8th grade, by contrast, Miss Lesniak let us work at our own speed in a workbook and I was done in a month with what they called 8th grade math and spent the rest of the year in math class socializing and doing what adolescent boys do). It seemed to me as if the teachers for the most part were basically babysitters who went through the motions, but didn't really care whether anyone learned anything. High school was a little better, but completely overrun with the latest trendy nonsense.

But really, we have had cameras in the classrooms of a sort the past 2 years, thanks to remote classes, and look what's happened: angry parents confronting school boards about what they;re teaching and promoting.

352 With respect to Ace's alleged cruelty, I recollect something that seems appropriate (I think it might have been Edmund Burke who said it, but am not sure): he does not know properly how to love who does not know properly how to hate.

Besides, the evil manifesting itself today - most conspicuously in the now-open attempts by the teaching establishment to corrupt children - is belligerent and uninterested in being persuaded to goodness.

I have. They have purple tongues. It's kind of weird. At the Columbus Zoo, the giraffe "corral" has the head of the giraffe about eye level on the sidewalk passing it. You can see them dining on leaves, and they stick out that big purple tongue.
Out east of Columbus is a place call The Wilds. It's kind of like Jurassic Park, except they have just mammalian herbivores from all over the world (endangered species) in different big stockades (many acres in size). You ride around in a bus to look at them. It's really cool to see a bunch of giraffes walking around, and see their heads first as they climb over a hill.

Well you see students, a Macedonian phalanx has an average speed of 3 miles per hour whereas an Israeli tank stuck in the mud has an average speed of 0 miles per hour. Therefore I predict that Alexander's armies will soon overrun Tel Aviv and install a fat shipping tycoon as their new satrap. Luckily for the Israelis, Alexander's empires have a very short shelf life so they should be back to autonomous rule in no time flat.

I haven't backed yet only because my level of backing depends on how the thing about which I am frustrated pans out.

531 Yea I'm not expecting any real surge but I do expect they will try to pretend there is one. They are racing toward electoral doom and they must know it. They are going to need something out of the blue to change the dynamic and the virus worked once.

Not sure I understand the strategy. Biden can't fix COVID. It doesn't make the Dems look good. People are sick of lock downs and masks, so COVID is a loser all around. They can't close the polls for COVID. About all they can hope for it lowering turnout but when you're that far under water and hated like butt cancer, I don't see it as a successful strategy.

A good hate crime is the way I'd go.

If our society was based on facts and logic I would agree. But it isn't. It's based on whatever narrative the left and the media push at any given moment.

Remember, Biden got 81 million votes drooling in his basement.

I've always hated this little speech. What's his point? Am I supposed to think that because people can be threatened, pressured, forced, whatever into breaking their moral code, that means something? That the moral code isn't worth having? Living a moral code is a lie? OK, Holden Caulfield. I'm a phony. So what?

The Christian answer is, "Yeah, sure, I'm a broken being. But I do my best and trust in God and His sacrifice elevates me and those around me."

What's his answer? Revel in being broken and tear it all down? What an angsty teenager.

I think it all boils down to whether the school district Superintendent approves of sexualizing children. Some rural high school in Kentucky recently had boys wearing women's lingerie during a "school spirit" event. I sent an email to the superintendent asking how is it appropriate for an adult man to be rubbing his crotch against a teenaged boy's buttocks? (one of the candid photographs at that event showed that little gem).

I didn't get a reply -- of course I told her that her staff were obviously either pedophiles or imbeciles.

I also explained the new improved web site made ordering another direct from Shop Vac impossible.

Lo and behold, Shop Vac got back to me, asked if I had a receipt, because 5 year warranty on the motor?
