Every night after we come home from the store we divide up the chores. The wife goes and sets up her computer and answers the emails and problems that we didn't have time to take care of during the day. She usually sets that upstairs in the office. I go down to the kitchen and cook dinner. Now I like to listen to the radio while I am cooking. Normally I put on WFAN to hear sports talk or I would put on the Yankees during the baseball season. But now they only have on fucking hockey and shit so I usually put on WABC which is the conservative talk radio station. So the other day Lisa came downstairs early and got to listen to Mark Levin in full rant.
She started laughing when Mark was describing Harry Reid getting up to speak in the Senate and looking for his teeth to put in while he spoke. She said "This is like listening to you." I said "I wouldn't last a day on the radio before the pussies that run it would fire me."
You see I was listening to WFAN the sports station and they had this jerk-off liberal cunt Richard Neer pontificating his politically correct bullshit. You had to listen to his nonsense about Richie Incognito and the gay football player. Now he is all over instant replay for baseball. Even worse today he was praising sabremetrics as determining how to play the game. What crock of shit. That is revenge of the fucking nerds. It is making the kids who were the managers of the high school team be in charge of evaluating talent instead of the kids who play and who know how to play. For all of the nonsense about Money Ball the fucking A's only won because they were juicing it up. How the fuck did they measure that in their fucking statistics.
What really cheeses me off is why doesn't anybody call these dumb fucks out on what they used to preach. Neer was a DJ on WNEW back in the day when it was the "progressive rock and roll" station that led the charge for "No Nukes." He lead the charge to get us to get rid of our nukes. How the fuck did that work out for the people in Eastern Europe when the Russian Bear is awake again and looking to eat. Don't you think that the Polacks and even the Germans might think that the American Nuclear umbrella and anti-ballistic missile defense might be a good idea. Why don't the no nukes fucks tell us what we are going to do when the towel heads and the Korean gooks and the commies in Venuzula get nukes? WHAT ABOUT THAT YOU FUCKIN' LIBERAL CUNTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a reason why I don't have a radio show.

A Dennis Miller quality rant.
What is up with that Freeman Hunt thing over at TOOP? Has Crack run out of material to use when calling us racists? Is Freeman proud that she is a useful idiot?
WTF?
It's the cheerleader syndrome.
I was tempted to reply, and normally I can resist everything except temptation, but during this time of Lent we must be mindful and shut up.
Yeah, a Southern Baptist mentioning Lent is kind of comical.
Well now...that makes the third time I've seen that link, in three different places, this week.
Interesting.
It is almost like it is a....conspiracy...
They want to hit us over the head. Chikies theory of a collusion between the evil blogger lady, Leisure Suit Larry, Crack and Freeman Hunt seems clearer and clearer everyday.
They are playing tag teams and are whipping up the page views and comments. The liberal trolls bring out the outrage in the conservative commenters and bring up the comment totals. It is a mugs game.
You definitely would not want to do it live. Not without at least a sixty second delay and two interns to bleep you when it got too much for you to take.
Unless of course you were on satellite radio. Then you could go free form.
I couldn't get past 3 minutes of that video. TED makes me think of the Seth MacFarlane movie, so I'm always disappointed by the actual video. And I didn't even like the movie all that much.
The vid did make me curious about one thing, tho: Just how old is that guy, if he had a grandmother who was born in 1880? How the fuck is that possible, unless he's 80 himself?
In which case, he's remarkably lucid.
You don't understand Chip. It is all bullshit. Bullshit doesn't hold together. Especially if you step in it.
My father's father was born in 1886.
My mother's grandfather was born in 1843 and fought in the Civil War, er, recent unpleasantness among the states.
I have pictures of him. Long white beard. Sawed wood. We look like twins.
I am 63, will be 64 in July.
My father's centenary is next year.
Ah, I neglected the menfolk. All that guy's focus on the matriarchal structure of his family made me think that the men had died relatively young.
Instead, they likely left town to get away from the bullshit.
I remember now that President Tyler still has a living grandson.
One of the coolest things I've learned in the past 10 years is that President John Tyler's grandsons are still alive.
The vague teacheriness of the "there's much that is important in there" statement in the quote with that post annoys me.
Same with famous poetry selections and supposedly open threads of inquiry where the poster attempts to direct "discussion" and approve or dismiss comments made. There's something about that kind of set-up that feels artificial and controlling to me.
Either present something "as is", open it to discussion, and take what comes; or offer an opinion on what's being presented, describe personal points of interest and invite others to respond.
There you go.
There was one guy whose father was 75 when he was born, which was a family tradition. The guy in question was probably in his 80s when I saw him on television, and his point was that his grandfather had been alive during the Revolutionary war. That impressed the heck out of me.
My father's youngest child was born when he was 62. Which means that next year, when we duly note, with proper sobriety the 100th anniversary of his birth, that he will have a grandchild who is 3.
Yep, my granddaughter's aunt is about 1 year older than she is. It's a family tradition.
I really think the Freeman hunt is for quotes for her boyfriend to copy and paste under pictures of Africans who have been tortured and maimed by other Africans in Africa. Crack is nothing if not stupid. Or stupid enough to think that we don't notice.
My dogs have had a happy day today. I hiked over 3 miles in Duke Forest with one dog, then another mile and a half with both of them. The second hike took us down to the river, you know, the river I live next to in my van.
Anyway, the flooding was amazing - the water has receded now and the banks are covered with slippery silt. Had to be careful not to slip and fall in.
Also, everyone is burning all their downed tree branches. It is now the valley of 10,000 smokes. It would be 10,001 if Spinelli were here with his bong, but he's out west. Way out west.
Sixty, Ever inhale?
I would if you would ever share, you cheap Y*nkee!
The Outer Banks is up on our list to vacation. How far are you from there?
I wonder if Trooper watched his favorite, Lena Dunham, on SNL last night?
Dude, it is at least 6 hours from here, but we can tawk. Look at the Spinnerman - goin' bicoastal!
The good news about the water here, if your timing is good, is that you can actually get in it. It is that warm - 85 degrees is not unusual. Bring your board, too, dude - the waves can be awesome. Well, in an east coast kind of way. But they are warm!
That Gulf Stream is beautiful. We often take a trip in Sept/Oct. So that would probably be the time frame. I'm too old and infirmed to surf. I do like to body surf, though. Been doing that since I was a kid..Cape Cod and Jersey shore. Wildwood had some good waves.
I usually in the mid part of the country with no ocean (duh!) - when I go out to Cali the water is 54 degrees.
Great to look at, but I love the warm water.
Best thing in the world is go to Cancun/Hawaii/D.R. in the winter and go swim in the warm water.
And great rant Troop. It drives me crazy that conservatives NEVER bring up the past. Nixon resigned in the liberals never mentioned his name from 1974 till the day he died without bringing it up.
Clinton gets impeached, harasses Paula Jones, cuts corrupt deals, and pardons Felon Marc Rich, and no one even mentions it. Its Good Ol' Bill -haha what a rogue.
I don't really get what you guys are talking about but Althouse's numbers took a hit during the diaspora and they've bounced back a little but not to where they were.
rcocean, I agree about the warmer water. The best swimming I ever experienced was in Cozumel. The developed side is tranquil. The undeveloped side is wide open beaches w/ great surf. Just a bar, fish shack here and there.
What are the hard numbers Blake?
I posted a comment on Haz's thread at Lem's that was an exact recap of tonight's episode of "Once Upon a Time."
It was amazingly apropos.
It was so spot-on that it seemed to be a satire.
Side note: the Chinese economy is crashing big time. Metal prices are way down, not something that happens in a robust, production based economy. Look for the Chinese to default on their bonds, very soon, maybe this month. That will trigger a drop in global gold prices as the Chinese sell off gold to pay bond interest.
The US markets are propped up by fiat currency, which has forced the equities markets to be overbought. A crash in China plus a forced devaluation of the Yuan will cause investors to flee the US stock markets and into the relative safety of US govt bonds.bond prices and yields will fall as a result.
This is a good time to white knuckle your cash. Cash will be king. Keep a supply.
I've got all my money in mattresses.
No offense, but none of that makes any sense.
1. The Chinese economy is not crashing. China's projected GDP growth rate for 2014 is 7.5%. That's huge, as usual there.
2. There was a recent bond default by a Chinese corporation making solar panels. The Chinese government apparently decided to stop covering that company's losses. It's their Solyndra.
3. Metals prices are determined on a worldwide market, not in China.
4. If you're looking for something that a US investor might reasonably worry about, the Chinese government sold off some of its extensive holdings of US Treasurys last year. If they keep doing that, you won't be glad you went long in US bonds.
But don't listen to me. Listen to someone who knows something about the Chinese economy.
i don't know if the Chinese economy is doing well, but the Chinese in the USA are doing very well indeed.
Chinese government and financial institutions are even more corrupt than ours. The truth cannot be gotten at.
They don't even need the bill of rights to allow their officials to lie.
It is the Chinese version of Potemkin villages all the way down. Potemkin pagodas or something.
I remember the No Nukes album, it was for sale all over the place. Didn't buy it, even later from discount bins, and never heard anything from it.
I was a lefty at the time, but I have always hated the Musicians Moralizing For/Against Stuff We Are For/Against genre.
It always made for really bad music.
I was interested to read that Bruce Cockburn who wrote If I Had a Rocket Launcher recently visited his brother Capt. John Cockburn, a doctor in the Canadian Forces at Kandahar Airfield.
"Cockburn drew wild applause when he sang If I Had a Rocket Launcher, which prompted the commander of Task Force Kandahar, Gen. Jonathan Vance, to temporarily present him with a rocket launcher.
"I was kind of hoping he would let me keep it. Can you see Canada Customs? I don't think so," Cockburn said, laughing.
Chip S - You might want to read this.
The Chinese economy will collapse. I guess I could say the Chinese economy is like any other, only moreso.
Haz, I'd give you the link for the Sitemeter but I don't have it here. Basically she's bounced back to the 750K/mo range, from a low in the low 600K, down from her 900K-1.1M in the previous couple years.
This with regular Instalanches. He's been giving her a lot of link love in the past six months.
Freeman is such a sanctimonious, humorless, tight ass. She thinks that disagreeing with her is some sort of snark or personal attack.
DBQ ...FH is rather unoriginal as well. That post she put up was attached to the same message I'm confident Crack sent to a dozen of us at least, over a week ago. I've had a couple and I've not commented on anything he's posted. WTF?
I no longer care. I am now paying more attention to what Trooper has said about bunnies and the sloth :)
I'm guessing she may still be finding her way DBQ. She reminds me of Althouse in her present surety. I believe life will continue to keep inviting her to respond with less rigidity and more humor, and if she doesn't answer the door by 50, the knocking may become louder and more insistent.
At least, that's my take. What worked for the first half of my life wasn't enough to get me through the hard stuff that arrived and required a new and different approach.
I think you are absolutely right MamaM. Most of us who post here have lived long enough to learn something. At least a thing or two.
I prefer to couch my meaning in meataphors so to speak. Let them decide what is the meat of the story and what is just fun.
Otherwise I would be ranting like Mark Levin and scaring the horses or something.
But none are so blind as those who will not see.
I was telling Michael Haz that most of us have the habit of blaming others for what is our own worst quality. I know I do that so I recognize when others are pulling it on me.
What I really don't like is when people imply that I am not smart enough to understand what they are saying. That is the evil blogger ladies favorite ploy. Now her flying monkeys are taking it up. Look I understand it. I just think it is fucking bullshit but I don't want to tell you that in the way I normally would in Brooklyn because you would probably faint on report me to the internet police or something.
So I like to couch my mockery in a story or parable and you know what is best about that? Half the time they understand what the fuck I am talking about.
Now that's entertainment.
I mean it is entertaining when they don't understand what I am talking about. That's funny let me tell you.
I was telling Michael Haz that most of us have the habit of blaming others for what is our own worst quality.
Darn right. It's your fault that I'm overweight.
The part about being a good lay, that's my own doing.
Not only living long enough to have learned and experienced. Much of it (my personal growth) comes from having your cherished ideals crash and burn. Thrown back into your face in such a manner that you can't ignore that ....you....might...have...been ....wrong. Of course, I am very rarely wrong now :-) But God knows how stupid and delusional I was when I was still a young "thang".
Some people live a sheltered life of ideas, surrounded by comfortable **thoughts, surrounded by people who think the same, who give praise to each other and not ever really challenged in their fundamental views. Those people....like Althouse....breeze through life absolutely sure that they know everything and that THEY are always in the right.
** I don't mean comfortable in the sense of having food, shelter and those types of comforts. I mean having your underpinnings pulled out and being challenged.
I get the sense that Freeman is one of those 'sheltered' people. Not that she is living a life of luxury. Who know about that. I mean intellectually sheltered.
That is about right DBQ. They never got punched in the face or kicked in the balls. They have no fucking idea.
Trooper, That Super Hero crack was horseshit. I was just speaking the truth. I like black folk, I don't like loud prison culture shuck and jivers.
Freeman and I strongly disagree on whether Crack's blog is art. link. I think this is an aesthetic point but with subtle ramifications beyond the Altosphere.
I agree with DBQ: I'm not sure the woman has ever seen the full spectrum.
Haz said...(vis a vis Trooper)
Damn right. It's your fault that I'm overweight.
No shit! I wondered who was responsible for the pot belly I've developed?
Of course!...it is Troop's fault. Shit, now I feel better.
It's all those damn food pics.
