Effing Google won't let me post pictures 'until I sign in to this account'. Which I had to do to get here.

And it won't ALLOW me to 'sign in'.

Fucking Google.

Dear 'LCS Financial',

you scammer asshole:

I'm tired, achy, and worried about a couple of things.
Your recorded "We are calling to give you a courtesy notice' etc. sounds like bullshit.
Your 'If you have any questions' number isn't in service.
In short, you make me wish Bun Bun was real, so I could see what he'd charge to visit you with his lemon juice and spoon.

Fuck yourself with an old shovel handle.

Sincerely, etc.

Well, that's annoying

Discovered that in Windows 10 there are a BUNCH of apps that run in the background, including Edge, without you actively turning them on.  And a bunch of them will 'share' your data without asking or you knowing.

This, by the way, is on top of the 'Here's how to keep Microsoft from spying on you' stuff that was already turned off.

Bill Gates & Co. need a boot up the ass.

Mr. Williamson has an opinion: Why America Needs

More Violence.
I see his point.  Doesn't mean I like it, but I do see it.  And he just might be right.

Of course, a lot of that could be avoided by the protected classes not being protected from consequences anymore...*


But- but they said 'Snowfall will be a thing of the past due to global warmening!'  How could this be?


Commenting on this situation, a friend observed that “Leftists don’t like being exposed for returning to their night rider KKK roots.”


Another point of "We're supposed to trust any of these bastards?  Why?"


That's not comforting.



*Also, more publicity when, say, some crooked/abusive cop gets his ass handed to him would help.

Dan Zimmerman. Intellectual Property Thief. Dead Hooker Magazine.

If you're wondering what this is about, story here.

Short version:
Dan Zimmerman, widely held to be a longtime intellectual property thief and, I am given to understand, founder of Dead Hooker Magazine, has stolen Tam’s “Fun Show Song” and posted the lovely video made as a Christmas present for Tam by Ambulance Driver and Squeaky and posted it over at TTAG, the other sink of iniquity and inequity with which he is associated, utterly without attribution to anyone but himself.

Therefore, as Roberta says "Good morning, search engines!"

Because male domestic abuse victims

don't fit the Preferred Narrative.  So they're always guilty, even when the female involved beat the crap out of them.  And if the man tries to get the kids out, shelters will turn them away.  Because "You're a man."

Much like someone found real hostility to reporting on domestic violence among lesbian couples; they're both women, so that nasty 'male' behavior isn't supposed to happen, and when it does it shouldn't be talked about.

More from the CDC, which doesn't exactly count as a right-wingnut source.
SUMMARY: According to a 2010 national survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Department of Justice, in the last 12 months more men than women were victims of intimate partner physical violence and over 40% of severe physical violence was directed at men. Men were also more often the victim of psychological aggression and control over sexual or reproductive health. Despite this, few services are available to male victims of intimate partner violence.


"Your movie won't have the proper viewpoint(ours), so no funding for you!"


I need to find a tomb like this.  Of course, for that one I'd have to go to Greece, and then try to figure how to smuggle it out, but there may be ways...


Well, if your co-vegans start crapping on a restaurant and giving it bad reviews when they've never been there and just don't like "Let us know you're coming, and we can make something for you", then screw 'em if they can't take a joke.  Or being told to piss off.


Getting all the crap done I don't want to have to worry about after the surgery is a bit of a pain.  Partly because this keeps waking me up at night("Hey, I don't like this position anymore, do something" repeated during the night), so a bit short on sleep.  Be worth it if this does nothing more than allow a full-nights sleep again.

I need to take a moment from today for this message:

President Erdogan:

Kiss our ass.

We actually still have something of a free press, and we don't give a crap whether or not you like what they say.
Erdogan spat back "Who are you? Could you say something like this to the US administration?"
Matter of fact, they can, you miserable little islamist pimple on the ass of mankind.

Sincerely, etc.

...this is how we kill our animals in Islam.

From one of the faithful islamists in friendly multi-culti Britain who murdered Fusilier Lee Rigby.
Michael Adebolajo, one of the men accused of gruesomely hacking to death British Fusilier Lee Rigby in May, said in a police interview that he and co-accused Michael Adebowale didn’t seek out Rigby because of a personal vendetta, but because he was “the soldier that was spotted first.”

He also said the brutal method of execution they chose was based on how “animals” are killed in Islam, according to the BBC.

The 45-minute interview was from June, but was played in court Thursday during the murder trial in which both men have pleaded not guilty.
Not murder to kill an unbeliever, y'know.  Especially a soldier.


"I was outraged about the IRS.  Until it became an actual problem, now it's a 'phony scandal'."
Also, I wonder how the socialists feel knowing that, if they object to the IRS breaking the law and abusing power, it means they're 'so-called progressives'?
Also: this guy thinks Obama was slapping Tingles Matthews for having dared to be upset over the matter.  A while back.  Before it started causing real problems.


That had to leave a mark:
It's possible that this is nothing more than hypocrisy. But the real reason, I think, is that the NFL is trying to protect its investments. The oversized guy who crashes his $150,000 custom SUV into a house and breaks down the door with his fists to strangle the family inside may be someone's number one draft pick, and all those millions his team spent on him would go right down the drain if some terrified homeowner shot him in self-defense.

And we can't have that now, can we? It's…un-American.


More Democrats in trouble pretending they give a rats ass about the 2nd Amendment.  While taking money from anti-gun-ownership groups.

Giffords' Rights and Responsibilities PAC is funded by money left over in the Arizona Democrat's campaign account. The new PAC will start by contributing to the campaigns of Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., Sen. Sue Collins, R-Maine, and Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., said Pia Carusone, a senior Giffords adviser.

All supported a measure fashioned by Toomey and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., that would have required background checks on all commercial sales of guns. That provision and other major gun-control measures failed to pass Congress this year, despite widespread calls to overhaul the nation's gun laws after 26 children and adults were gunned down last December at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

So how pro-gun are you really if you get money from Gabby's gun control PAC? I think the answer is obvious - not much. Just like Hagan lied about you getting to keep your old health insurance, her support of the Second Amendment is also suspect. The only question in my mind is when soon-to-be former Mayor Bloomberg digs into his own deep pockets and contributes to Kay Hagan.


Anywhere except Eric Holders' 'Justice Department' this would be extortion and kickbacks.


Stolen from Joe at Tams' place:
The Manhattan Project: Turning a few, vague theoretical physics concepts into two working weapons from scratch, using slide rules and crude mechanical calculators to crunch a heck of a lot of complex math, all while figureing out how to build a lot of freaking complex stuff.

Meanwhile, the Obama admin can't figure out how to make a website that can do something Amazon had been doing for about a decade before.


You have to wonder: did the idiots who thought this was a good idea not know about the Cthulu mythos, or do they like being associated with it?
Yeah. We don't have an Orbital Hilton or a tourist lodge on the moon and Pan-Am can't run you up there on a shuttle -- in fact, they're struggling to make the trains run on time while NASA astronauts have to bum a lift from the Russians.* But our .gov can bigawd tune in every cel-phone call, walkie-talkie and baby monitor everywhere, and read everyone's e-mail and web-browsing history to boot. China plans to put a missile base on the Moon and this country's space program is all about listening at keyholes and peering in windows.


Over on Bookface Breda had this link on how to work the hunch out of your back.  I promise to try it soon as the shoulder won't do something horrible.


Once more proving that 'zero tolerance' actually means 'Zero use of brain by school officials' is Principal John Horton and the idiot teacher in the class.
The teacher took both Johnny and the other boy into the hall and lectured them about disruption. The teacher then contacted Johnny’s mother, Beverly Jones, alerting her to the “seriousness” of the violation because the children were using “firearms” in their horseplay, and informing her that the matter had been referred to the Principal. Principal John Horton contacted Ms. Jones soon thereafter in order to inform her that Johnny’s behavior was a serious offense that could result in expulsion under the school’s weapons policy. Horton characterized Johnny’s transgression as “making a threat” to another student using a “replica or representation of a firearm” through the use of an imaginary bow and arrow.
How about the offense of sending a paycheck to idiots like Horton and Jones?


Some of our distant ancestors managed to paint this stuff in a cave.  Sometimes under the influence of radon and  CO2 poisoning.  Damn.

So the EffingBI CAN use your computer camera to spy on you.
Wonder if they bother getting a warrant?


Why aren't you Officer Friendly anymore?(Reason 372)
Because you're a friggin' idiot.  And a liar.
One night, Lee went outside to check on some people making noise on his property.
“They (the police) just pulled in and said, ‘What is going on? What is going on? Hands up, Anybody have any weapon?’ I said I have a gun. They just grabbed me, took my gun and threw me in the car,” Lee said.
Lee said he told the officer he had the permit on him. He was cited for loitering and his truck was towed from his private property.
...
A judge dismissed the case at his initial appearance and apologized. For more than a year, Lee has been trying to get his gun back, get an apology from police and get reimbursed for the cost of getting his car towed.
“They gave me the run around. I went to every precinct over here. Not here, try this one, Not here, try this one,” Lee said.
Found over here.


Gee, why might we have a problem believing that?
“[T]hey won’t even say whether they ask a judge for a search warrant before they turn the equipment on,” the newspaper reported Sunday.

Instead, officials reportedly insist they can’t disclose such information because doing so may endanger public safety.
That's become one of the go-to excuses for "We don't want to tell you" that it's for 'public safety'.


'Bout time that bastards' statue came down.


Translation: "Rangel didn't get his ass kissed, so he's all butthurt about it."


Damn, that's a long list of stuff.  I think I'll go read a book or load some ammo or something.

So some of the idiocies the last few years at Wally World

were caused by a Gore clown? Well, somebody had to be behind it.
The Sierra Club’s Carl Pope seemed pleased that Dach was inside the enemy camp, confiding to the New Yorker:

One of the remarkable things about the environmental movement is how rarely people from our side end up on the other side, and Leslie is on the other side.

But Dach’s fervor only sunk the company. Andy Barron, a Wal-Mart executive vice president, told an investor meeting:

Clearly, we’ve lost some of our focus on what I would call the core customer. … You might say, in short, that we were trying to be something that maybe we’re not.

A place that sold inexpensive/less-expensive stuff to people; yeah Sierra Club would see that as the enemy.


I should note Romney announced starting his committee to study running for President again. While in some ways I agree with Limbaugh who said he'd vote for Elmer Fudd if it'd get Obama out of the Oval Office... Romneycare Romney? Loves the PROM gun laws Romney? HELL no.


Heard this on radio the other day, here's the text: Trump is running for his big ego, nothing more, and he doesn't care who and how many people he screws so long as he gets stroked. Fuck him.


The New York Times released a rare and honest appraisal of of Barack Obama’s failed economic policies yesterday.
Economix Blog reported:

At a time when the economy should be rebounding the latest GDP number for the first quarter of 2010 shows thatthe Obama economic policies have failed.

When 2011 began, Macroeconomic Advisers, a forecasting company, expected that America’s economic output would shape up to rise at a 4.1 percent annual rate in the first quarter, the highest pace in over a year.

But economic reports coming in over the last few months have been increasingly disappointing.

But, that wasn’t posted long.
Of course not; they realized they'd criticized The Lightworker and that just can't happen.


"Show me on the doll where the TSA screener touched you." One of these days some parent is going to beat hell out of some screener, or flatly say "No way in hell will you do that" and get arrested, and the trial just might get interesting. From the looks of it nothing else will get these assholes to knock the bullshit off.


Can't remember where found this linked yesterday: How To Handle Lawyers Threatening You. No knowledge myself, but sounds correct.
Ah, just remembered, was at the QOTD here:
I can safely say that few people have less respect for the law than lawyers. Abuse of law is not just common, it defines the industry.


Just across the border,
Soldiers found the corpses last week in San Fernando, in Tamaulipas state near Texas, and initially unearthed 59 bodies. The toll has since risen steadily in one of the most gruesome finds so far in Mexico's escalating drug war.


Well, maybe they are...



He is Lindsey Graham and he is Washington. His ego, his Politico-anointed status as one of official Washington's "top 50 party animals" comes first. It's all about me, me, me, and not that coastal state with the blazing sun and dreary flatlands filled with even drearier people, "bigots" who need to "shut up" and leave the governing to him. "I'm a winner, pal," he yelled at a heckler who called him out for supporting the Obama agenda during a rare visit to South Carolina. And you, you Tea Party buffoons, you'll be just a memory while I priss and prance from one party to the next, hailed by the New York Times and GQ magazine and MSNBC, and celebrated by La Raza, which has charitably been described as a "racist illegal alien support group." Hey, in midtown Manhattan, at GQ and Vanity Fair magazines, just a BMW billboard or so away from the New York Times headquarters, I'm one of their "favorite" senators. Heck, even Michelle Obama likes me.
