Sunday Overnight Open Thread 01/04/2026: Lazy Winter Edition [Doof]
Retro Corner
Ah, the innocence. Back when a smiling housewife could sell you cigarettes and floor wax in the same breath. ----- Speaking of housewives, how about a little retro snack to support eating healthier in 2026?
21 oz crabmeat----- You can’t serve this without a cocktail: 1950s Cocktails to Shake Up Your Night (we have stocked all the ingredients at the bar):
2 packages lime flavor gelatin dessert
2 tsp salt
2 cups boiling water
2 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tsp onion juice
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 cups sour cream
1 cup finely chopped, drained unpeeled cucumber
Few drops green food coloring
3 oz cream cheese
2 tbsp cream
Chicory, watercress or parsley Flake crab or krab, saving sections for garnish. Dissolve lime gelatin and salt in boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Add vinegar, onion juice, Worcestershire sauce. Chill slightly until thickened. Fold in sour cream. Blend well. Fold in cucumber and crab (or krab). Add enough green coloring to give a medium green tone to the mixture. For mold, use lightly oiled 6-cup capacity funnel, available in hardware stores. Plug the hole at base with foil, pour in a little gelatin and chill to keep remaining gelatin from leaking out. Stand filled funnel upright in a large measuring cup. Chill until firm. Unmold, mash cream cheese, stirring in cream. Beat until soft and fluffy. Frost top of the mountain to look like snow. Garnish around the mold with greens and remaining crab chunks
Dry, gin-based martinis epitomized 1950s cool—James Bond ordered his "shaken, not stirred" in 1953's Casino Royale. Often extra-dry with just a whisper of vermouth.
Classic 1950s Recipe:-----
• 2½ oz gin
• ½ oz dry vermouth
• Olive or lemon twist garnish
Stir with ice, strain into a chilled coupe
Invented earlier but peaked in the '50s as a vibrant after-dinner treat.
Recipe:-----
• 1 oz green crème de menthe
• 1 oz white crème de cacao
• 1 oz heavy cream
Shake with ice, strain into coupe
A sophisticated brandy-cognac combo popular among the elite.
Recipe:-----
• 1½ oz cognac
• ¾ oz white crème de menthe
Shake or stir, strain
Born in the '40s but a '50s staple in supper clubs—pink, nutty, and indulgent.
Recipe:-----
• 1 oz crème de noyaux (almond liqueur)
• 1 oz white crème de cacao
• 1 oz heavy cream
Shake, strain
This is a prominent 1950s version served at Donn's Hawaii locations—sweeter and more pineapple-forward than the original.
Ingredients:
• ¾ oz fresh lime juice
• ½ oz white grapefruit juice (fresh)
• 1½ oz unsweetened pineapple juice
• ¾ oz maraschino liqueur (e.g., Luxardo)
• ¼ oz velvet falernum
• ¼ tsp grenadine
• 1¼ oz gold Puerto Rican rum (e.g., Bacardi 8 or similar)
• 1 oz dark Jamaican rum (e.g., Appleton Estate or Coruba)
• 1 oz 151-proof Demerara rum (e.g., Lemon Hart or Hamilton)
• ⅛ tsp (about 6-8 drops) Pernod or absinthe
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• ¾ cup (6 oz) crushed ice
Instructions:
1. Add all ingredients to a blender.
2. Flash-blend at high speed for no more than 5 seconds (just to incorporate—over-blending dilutes it).
3. Pour unstrained into a tall Zombie glass, chimney glass, or tiki mug.
4. Top with more crushed ice to mound above the rim.
5. Garnish extravagantly: mint sprig, pineapple fronds, orchid if available, or a spent lime shell with 151 rum floated and lit for drama

When we talk about Venezuela, we are talking about a country. And that country exists within a hemisphere. It is significant to understand the significance of the passage of time as it relates to where we were yesterday and where we are today.
Democracy is about the process. It's about the doing of the thing, not just the result of the thing. We must move forward toward a future where we have processed the processing of how those things should be done.
Because the work is the work we do every day. And that work is significant.

Had my port filled with a new medication which will hopefully wipe out these little tumors. I have been off of my other medication for a month, and my cancer markers shot up over the threshold amount. This is a VICIOUS disease!

I think so. But Kumala DID pop off on X about how arresting Maduro was a Crime Against Humanity or some such shit. She was hilariously roasted by commenters who posted her own anti-Maduro screeds from back when she was trying to be a badass VP.

I had a glass of Buffalo Trace in one hand and a flashlight in the other.
It was a -2.5 or so. So, when you walk out on the beach, you can walk WAY OUT ON THE BEACH. It goes about 150 yards further out than usual. And there’s a ton of really cool sea creatures out there in the tide pools. The fog was super thick on the water, so the flashlights looked like light sabers.
I love where I live.

You know, this could be the opening sentence of a fantastic Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest story.
It was a dark and stormy night. I had a glass of Buffalo Trace in one hand and a flashlight in the other. The wind howled through the pines like a chorus of angry ghosts, rattling the loose shutters of the old cabin I’d sworn never to return to. The bourbon burned a slow, steady fire down my throat as I nudged the warped front door open with my boot, the beam slicing through years of dust and shadow to reveal the same faded photograph on the mantel—me, grinning like an idiot, arm around the woman who’d vanished without a word twenty winters ago. Tonight the place smelled different, not just of mildew and neglect, but of something sharper, almost alive, and as the floorboards groaned beneath me I heard it: a soft, deliberate creak from the room upstairs, the kind that only comes when someone is waiting.

Just finished watching the noir experiment Lady in the Lake from 1946-47, with Robert Montgomery and Audrey Totter. The gimmick: The camera takes over Philip Marlowe's viewpoint; we see everything from his perspective except when he looks in a mirror. Clever, I guess. But it's slow and static, we keep being *told* things instead of seeing them, and Montgomery sounds like he's doing a Bogart impression -- like a man trying to sound tough rather than being tough. Not recommended despite a good cast otherwise.

Since this a revision of previous surgery, I'm sort of used to being useless. They mean it when they say don't use it at all for six weeks, at least. Depending on what all they do. But you will start PT after two weeks, and the PT person will do the moving.
Be prepared to help with everything. Underpants and deodorant are the first tricks. It is remarkable how little you consider what two hands means until you only have one to use.
Expect very little. The time does pass. Do not skimp in PT, even if it hurts, and it will. Don't be a wimp.

Maduro himself is a low IQ blowhard who only was put into that position because he was no threat to those who really held power (sound familiar?). The man himself is of no value; but the information in his head as to who he was working with and what they were up to is incredibly valuable to us. I think we want that info far more than we care about what actually happens to him.

“ As a result of the criminal attack perpetrated by the United States government against the sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the early hours of January 3, 2026, 32 Cubans lost their lives in combat while carrying out missions on behalf of the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior, at the request of counterpart agencies in the South American country," reads a Facebook post by MINIT.
“Faithful to their responsibilities for security and defense, our compatriots fulfilled their duty with dignity and heroism and fell, after fierce resistance, in direct combat against the attackers or as a result of the bombing of the facilities,” they added.

Regarding the drinks. I came from a Southern family whose father had a beer with seafood. Decades later I started them on the path of Gin and Tonics, that I still love in the summer.
My grandmother's rare drink set you spinning eggnog that they let me have before legal age. The only time she had booze.
The other grandmother had no idea she and her elderly sister were drinking Bloody Mary's at a wedding but did love that tomato juice!They were giddy by all reports.
I meet my Long Island future in-laws who believed in daily cocktail hour on the dot of 5pm. Martinis.Or, later, straight vodka on the rocks.
I was first asked what I wanted to drink when meeting them as a nursing student. Beer or wine were all I could think of. She started me drinking Manhattan's. Then Gimlets.
After marriage I'd sometimes go home after a Rusty Nail on top of a cocktail and wine with dinner at their house. My new husband and I noticed I'd have a happy cry with weeping on the way home.Sentimental weirdness. Which was pretty odd as I rarely cry at all. He stopped those Rusty Nails quickly.

Yes indeed. What also seems historic is the uprising in Iran. The media is almost completely ignoring it. This is better organized than last time, I think it's harder today for the regime to block all internet communication.
I've seen clips of protestors burning govt buildings, chasing down IRGC guards, masses blocking major roads. They seem to be coalescing around Reza Pahlavi. When I watched his address to the Iranians I wondered if this will be historic.

We once went to his university for a recital for his jazz teacher. His tux was buried, and I am not kidding, under a foot of clothes in his closet. I hauled it out and ironed it for the nitwit.
He and his roommate lived like cavemen in that apt. I saw a plate with petrified pizza in his roommate's bedroom. Dishes piled in the sink (I washed them). Roommate kept pizza, in the box, in the oven for days and ate it (he also only ate some sort of beans from cans). No doubt our son ate out like he was a trust fund baby (he wasn't).
Considering all he did in his college years to drive us loco, I am amazed we still speak to him much less love him.
He's the one who dated probably 30 girls or more (that I know of). Finally married a girl a decade younger. I have to say he was far worse than his father in finding the right one.We hope she keeps him.

I am not sure where you are getting your info, per Delcy Rodriguez' Instagram
Message from Venezuela to the world and to the United States
Venezuela reaffirms its commitment to peace and peaceful coexistence. Our country aspires to live without external threats, in an environment of respect and international cooperation. We believe that global peace is built by first guaranteeing peace within each nation.
We consider it a priority to move toward a balanced and respectful international relationship between the United States and Venezuela, and between Venezuela and the countries of the region, based on sovereign equality and non-interference. These principles guide our diplomacy with the rest of the world.
We extend an invitation to the US government to work together on a cooperation agenda aimed at shared development, within the framework of international law, and to strengthen lasting community coexistence.

Delcy Rodriguez was apparently agreed on to be the president interim as she was a) already in the chain of command which Maria Corina Machado was not, b) had actual status in the country and government, c) was the one who oversaw the recovery of Maduro's oil industry from near collapse, d) was instrumental in turning the economy a bit more market driven and less a straight dictatorship. and E) apparently was willing to spit Trump and Rubio in the eye.
She is also the daughter of an economist who started out as a marxist revolutionary, and she blames the US on her father's death at the hands of one of the pre-Chavez governments, and claimed she accepted to position under Maduro because of this.
But Corina Machado would have to fight for enough legitimacy to hold elections, and Rodriguez won't have that extra step.

Doesn't Rita Ora know not to wear white boots after Labor Day? Stick to the black leather, dimwit! You know she stinks under all that. Bleah.
Our 4yr old granddaughter keeps wearing white sandals to church in the winter. I haven't given her the white shoe lecture but I will someday.
I also tell her it is fun to wear boots! Which means she will wear them in the summer (she's my mini-me in looks and attitude).I think she's doing this on purpose to get a reaction from me. Right now I am thrilled if she's wearing boots with snow on the ground. I think her mother has given up with the new baby and lets her dress herself. Sometimes she looks normal, today she did not. Fortunately uniforms for school days.

"Don't ask me who's in charge because I'll give an answer, and it'll be very controversial".
Well, what does that mean?, they asked.

What, that Rubio's demand before accepting SoS was the destruction of the Castros? Or his greatest dream is probably to give the victory speech from Fidel's favorite soapbox in Havana's Plaza de la Revolución, preferrably after they rip that ghastly modern art portrait of Che off the facade of the building behind him and leave it a pile of twisted rubble?
It needs to happen. It is going to be hard to keep all the elements from tearing each other apart while it is going on. The Cubans are really beaten down after 50 years, and a lot of them only see what they don't have. Their sense of humor is vile, that goes along with it.
No one wants to own up to the fact that it not only was their fault, but also there was nothing that could be done to change it because of the powers beyond their control were making it happen the way it turned out.

Cubans in Florida are as politically important as Irish in Boston were, and yelling "F*ck you" just encourages them to work harder against you. Grandsons of Irish immigrants were sending money to the Provos until the 90's if you remember.

Wikipedia:
Taika David Cohen [...], known professionally as Taika Waititi [...] is a New Zealand filmmaker, actor, and comedian. He has received [...] an Academy Award [...] and a Grammy Award.
Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2022.
Identifying as both Maori and Jewish, Waititi describes himself as a "Polynesian Jew"
I guess that makes him the first super-important person I've never heard of before, in 2026.
I'm surprised it took 4 days.
And, per BarelyScaryMary's guess, he's a man of a thousand ethnicities, and took the Maori name in place of his family's Jewish name. Moved him up the progressive grievance stack, I guess?

It is going to be hugely expensive to fix Cuba; I saw an estimate that with Venezuela coming apart, Cuba now has only 30 days of food supplies left with none coming in, and their own farming has completely collapsed. They’re going to go down hard. Not to mention that the electrical grid for the entire island is about to crash, and crash hard with no way to bring it back up.
Still - can you imagine what a different place the Caribbean will be if Cuba comes back under American influence? It could be incredible!

Most of the screaming about the Plan Condor that was the basic anticommunist playbook for Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil was in response to the Cubans' revolutions, and these countries were under an actual undeclared revolution.
The Communists and their fellow travelers today claim oppression and extra legal execution and jailing, but the numbers the revolutionary cadres killed, kidnapped and bombed were higher.
Castro was a murderer and a slaver of his own people, and I am frustrated that he died in his sleep.

Insect/arthropod size is also dependant on oxygen levels, because of their passive respiratory systems. When the atmosphere had a larger percentage of oxygen, we did have dragonflies with 2.5 foot wingspan and centipedes over eight feet long.

Because I lived in post-Civil War times, we had bomb drills, children. Along with fire drills. I knew about bombs but as a 2nd grade kid was not too concerned in MS about Cuba. And the Bay of Pigs, which I thought was literal.My parents did not alarm us that we might actually die, which was good.
Parents would receive, at the beginning of the school year, a note for "one canned good" for the class pantry. My mother sent a large can of fruit cocktail that was supposed to sustain me for the rest of my life (she said that's what she had handy with no thought of protein). I hope it was a shared pantry with Spam or peanut butter..."Here, I will trade you a piece of pineapple."
Anyway, there would be monthly notices of the drills & no matter the temp I'd wear leotards under my skirts or dresses. Because the boy's idea of the bomb drills were to look under our dresses.
Otherwise clueless to how close we apparently came to being goners. I never saw the "duck and cover" cartoons. We squatted under our desks to survive.
I guess if wounded, "rub some dirt on it." Yes, it's a little radioactive but all will be well.

Wendy Mao, Chinese-American, born here. Daughter of some big shot Chicom geophysicist. She's the chair of the Earth and Planetary Science at Stanford, among other stuff.
She's done a lot of research for NASA and others on high pressure material research.
Well, a House committee has found ties with the Chicom military research. Big time. Her research, funded by the taxpayer, prolly went right over to the Chicoms' nuclear and hypersonic and space programs.

Maduro can name names, provide banking data, give testimony and roll up a lot of networks in the US and the rest of the world.
as a corpse he is of little use.
Personally I wonder if Trump told Bill Barr's replacement to make sure he survives to old age.
Agree completely. I just think the Left would turn the crazy to 11 when they heard about it. And if they made a huge deal about it, then nothing happened, they would look that much more unhinged.

Just saw somebody quoting a NYT article on how Kimberly Guilfoyle is doing as Ambassador to Greece:
... Rapunzel hair, false eyelashes, plumped lips, figure-hugging sheath dresses and high heels. 'In terms of public relations, she has done an excellent job,” [the Greek commenter said]. But the 'submissiveness' of so many Greeks lining up to meet her, he said, 'makes us look like a Third World country.' Mr. Georgiadis, the health minister, shrugged off the buzz. 'When she was first named, the people were, "What’s that?"' he said. But the early energy deals, he said, have proved that she has substance. 'If she delivers,' he said, 'who cares if she has a see-through dress?'..."

I hope that's a mistranslation from Greek, and it should be "Whether or not she delivers, I'm happy she wears see-through dresses."
If not, dude might be a homo.

I believe ties are broken by Comments of the Week, then Firsts, then "$20 same as in town" posts, then "moose out front" posts.

As long as a Republican is in power ther is

Danish PM tells Trump to stop 'threats' against Greenland
5 hours ago
Posted by: m at January 05, 2026 03:48 AM (RuTUS)
Mette Frederiksen said "it makes absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the United States to take over Greenland", adding: "The US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom."
Her remarks come after Katie Miller - the wife of one of Trump's aides, Stephen Miller - tweeted a map of Greenland in the colours of the American flag alongside the word "SOON".
Posted by: m at January 05, 2026 03:49 AM (RuTUS)
China is getting aggressive up there in the "High North" they call it, and that's why Trump is so concerned about Greenland.
A Chicom "research" submarine navigated under the Arctic ice for the first time, and that is bad for national security.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at January 05, 2026 03:53 AM (w6EFb)
Hours later on Air Force One, Trump reiterated the goal. "We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not going to be able to do it," he said.
